Chapter 9: The gourd

No wonder as soon as the gang leader entered the mountain, the whole person's expression was wrong, it turned out that there was such a hidden feeling. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just imagine, if the story repeats itself, today San'er, the gang leader, and Ning Hongyan are all folded here, and I am the only one who gets out of the mountain alive, I'm afraid the result will not be much better...... The eagle folds its wings and no longer dares to look at the sky; The tiger has broken bones, and there are still mountains in the mountains.

I was silent, and I began to understand the caution and caution of the gang leader.

The gang leader lit two cigarettes and handed me one. I'm a non-smoker, but I tried it when I was a sophomore in junior high school. In this situation, it is indeed suitable for smoking one.

In the smoke, my thoughts spread out a little vicissitudes, and suddenly I realized what the gang leader had warned us before, is there anything more precious in this world than human life, just like my grandfather......

After a cigarette was smoked, we continued to be silent.

After sitting for a long time, I stood up and soothed my body, looked at the hazy galaxy, the low dark clouds and the deep mountains and old forests, and still couldn't help but ask: "Looking at today's situation, we can't hide if we want to, right?" ”

The gang leader suddenly laughed, his whole body was trembling with laughter, and his voice was a little dry and cracked all year round, and he continued to wanton: "I have long seen it, you kid is thinking about the treasure in this mountain, isn't it?!" ”

I hurriedly sat back and asked with a smile, "Gang leader, what kind of treasure is there in this mountain?" ”

"What baby? Medicine, of course! "The gang leader talked to me about this tonight, and he also had his intentions, and when he talked about this, his expression finally became excited, with a bit of longing in his eyes, which was not only for the treasure in the mountains, but also for the pride of the year: "Hundred herbs and hundreds of halls, ginseng is king, and a few leaves are a few medicines." The medicinal materials we find in the mountains are all good, the next three products of medicine to eliminate diseases, the middle three products to cure all diseases, and the upper three products to prolong life, this is the treasure in the mountains. Si'er, do you have the courage to look for it? ”

"Of course!" My eyes also lit up, just when my classmates were young, the eagle falcon tried its wings, and the wind and dust were sucking up.

"That's a good ......" The gang leader lowered his head and began to touch things on the waistband of his pants, and after a while, he found a small green thing and handed it to me, saying: "This is the token that our mountain people can enter the mountain, I handed it over to you, from this moment on, you are our gang leader!" ”

I carefully held that thing in the palm of my hand, and looked at it by the light of the flashlight, it turned out to be a small green gourd, jasper texture, warm tentacles, three inches long, the small gourd belly is thicker than the thumb, and the big gourd belly is just the circumference of the thumb and index finger bending, baby, this is a baby!

"I understand, no wonder you always say that our people are not ordinary medicine gangs, we rely on this little thing, we can enter the mountain...... "Holding such treasures in the palm of my hand, I am very happy."

When the dirty thing came before, the strange posture of the gang leader protecting his daughter with one hand and pinching his waist with the other hand was explained.

"Yes, you're smart." The gang leader smiled and gave two lines of poetry: "Kunlun Mountain, Hulu Pass, one heart and one mind are easy to ascend to the sky; Jishimen, string mountain people, apricot forest flowers bloom all over Kunlun. ”

I was dazed: "Gang leader, what do you mean?" ”

"It means that our Kuanshan people's 'hollow gourd' is picked from the fairy vine on Kunlun Mountain, the head of the Jishimen takes half, and the head of the Chuanshan people takes half, not the good people, not the heart of great goodness, otherwise the gourd can not be hollow, the gourd is closed, the hollow is one, and we can go into the mountains to collect medicine and save the world." The gang leader's expression suddenly increased a little respect.

I didn't think about anything else, plucked from the immortal vines on Kunlun Mountain???

How does this sound so familiar, by the way, I remembered it, it is the tune in Journey to the West, which is about the four masters and apprentices learning scriptures in the west, and met the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn on the way, and when the King of the Silver Horn received Sun Wukong, he mentioned that his purple gourd was picked by the immortal master from the immortal vine on Kunlun Mountain...... Uh, it can't be that coincidental, right?

Kunlun Mountain is a sacred mountain in our country, there is no lack of pen and ink in myths and legends, known as the "hometown of the gods", but where there is any peerless magic weapon, amazing figures, must have something to do with Kunlun Mountain, it is easy to be convincing.

It is estimated that this is also the case with hollow hoists.

In fact, this hollow gourd should be a special material, implying a certain energy that fits with the overlapping space, but the magic is really magical.

The head of the medicine gang is the string of mountain people, the head of the medicine store is the Jishi Gate, the head of the string of the mountain and the head of the Ji Shi Gate usually each 'plate' half of the hollow gourd, and when the string of the mountain people are going to enter the mountain, the head of the Jishi Gate will hand over half of the gourd he holds to the gang leader, the gourd is on the top, it becomes a hollow, and the people can enter the mountain, I don't know, the hollow gourd can't become a hollow situation?

I don't know, after entering the mountain, what will be the result if the hollow gourd is separated again!?

My innocence is also out of the blue.

Fortunately, the direction was right, and the gang leader followed and introduced me: "We string people into the mountain, and when it comes to the moment of crisis, we can rub the hollow gourd open, and as soon as the hollow gourd is rubbed open, we can get out of the mountain." ”

"Huh......?" I was very puzzled, took the hollow gourd to my eyes and carefully observed, there was no gap on the gourd, there was not even a mark, I suspected that this gourd was not two halves at all, but a natural one, rub and try.

"Don't mess around, rub the gourd open, and it will be difficult for us to enter this mountain again!" The gang leader saw that I was rubbing there, and he couldn't worry about it.

"Hehe...... I quickly stopped my hand and stopped rubbing.

"Don't worry, when it comes to the moment of crisis, as long as you rub it hard, this gourd will be separated." The leader of the gang handed over the hollow gourd to me, and what I liked was my unstinting energy: "San'er, that guy seems to be reckless, but in fact he is timid and calculating, it is not okay to hand over the gourd to him, and the gourd is in my hands, and it can't be anything, only in your hands......"

At this point, the gang leader began to hesitate again.

I was tasting the words that the gang leader said, he said that San'er was really right, if this hollow gourd came to San'er's hands, maybe he would be sold one day, and the gang leader's pride has been lost, and taking the hollow gourd into Baoshan will not be much stronger than returning empty-handed, hand it over to me, I am a big tiger in the small flower cat but dare to mess around!

After a pause, the gang leader's words suddenly changed: "Si'er, I told you your fortune when you were less than a year old, do you know?" ”

"Ah......???h My jaw almost didn't fall off in shock, daring to love, the gang leader has been meowing at me all the time.

"That year was also a coincidence, I took my daughter to the county hospital for an examination, your family took you to the county hospital to see a doctor, we met, at that time I calculated a hexagram for you, the hexagram should be 'thunder hydrolysis', like the ......" gang leader saw that I was confused again, and then said: "That is to say, although you are ill-fated, but long in the face of evil and good fortune, after a catastrophe there will be a catastrophe of good luck, in your life, the most taboo 'blind, hesitation' four words, remember to be blind to retreat, hesitate to advance, the second half of your life when the blessing of longevity!" ”

I don't usually believe in fortune telling, but I'm especially willing to listen to fortune tellers say the 'black words' in their business, and I find it particularly interesting: "Then how many eons have I passed?" Is there a robbery? What's it like? ”

The gang leader smacked for a moment or two before he said: "In two years, there will be a catastrophe in your life, I am afraid it will cost you ten years of luck, you have to be careful." ”

......" My heart sank, and I unconsciously began to believe the words of the gang leader, probably because he was not collecting money to tell fortunes, but teaching earnestly.

"The situation in life will change, and besides, my calculations may not be accurate, you don't have to take it to heart, just remember to retreat blindly and advance if you hesitate." Seeing that my face sank, the gang leader hurriedly comforted me.

"Hmm." I was still uncomfortable, so I paused and changed the subject: "Then where are we going tomorrow?" ”

"Go into the woods and find good medicine." The gang leader replied vaguely.

Later, we talked about some ordinary things, mostly about medicinal materials...... More than ten years later, when I look back on this night's conversation, I am full of regret that I should not have listened to the words of the gang leader.

The sky was still gray, and when the gang leader saw that I was already fighting, he said, "Go and sleep in my tent, it will be almost dawn, and nothing should happen." ”

"What about you?" Am I not in my prime, and my blood is strong, and I am embarrassed to let the gang leader guard alone.

"I'll wake them both up later, it's all right, it's all right as soon as it's dawn." The head of the gang is in good spirits.

"Then you should go to bed early." I walked to the gang leader's tent in a daze, and fell asleep.

By the time I woke up, it was already noon.

Ning Hongyan and the third child woke up early and sat twenty meters away chatting.

I asked Ning Hongyan for something to eat, and then sat aside with them for two days, and when it was almost two o'clock, the gang leader also woke up.

The leader of the gang ate something and began to pack up, and it was time for us to go.

He handed over the hollow gourd to me, and the gang leader didn't say anything, what should he do on the way, but he and I both knew that it was up to me to decide what kind of critical moment it would be to rub the hollow gourd.

From the look in the eyes of the gang leader when he handed me the hollow gourd, I can know that he wants to eliminate the cowardice in his heart through me, since the gang leader has made up so much determination, I have nothing to hesitate, in Baodao dialect, I am not afraid!

The leader led the way, led us directly into the forest, passed through the forest, and marched to the depths of Shuangwang Mountain......
