Chapter 5 Underground Penglai
The bearded man looked at me with a confused expression, and after a long time, he opened his mouth slightly and said, "What do the seventh brothers mean...... Looking for a nameless mountain? ”
"Uh......" I scratched my forehead, the daring beard didn't understand what I said, but I could only express it like this, if it was simpler, I really couldn't think of any words, inadvertently, the ghost baby in the inner room covered her mouth and snickered at me, as if to mock my ability to express, no wonder, the language can make sense, but the way of understanding is slightly different, the bearded man is also very embarrassed, frowning tightly, as if chewing the meaning of my words.
I looked back at the ghost baby, he smiled evilly, and raised an eyebrow at me, the meaning was obvious, he could help me make what I wanted to say, but he had a condition, of course, this condition......
Smacking my lips, I gave the ghost baby a blank look, decided not to be threatened by him, and after thinking about it, I continued to ask: "Brother Shunyu, near your village...... Isn't there a ...... Nothing peculiar? By the way, just like Huangquan Road, it is a very strange and daunting place! ”
This time, the bearded man finally came to his senses, patted his head, and said: "It turns out that you mean this, if you want to say that near Ganshui Village, there are many inexplicable places, such as 'Tiger Leaping Ridge', 'Ghost Crying Cliff', and ...... No one has ever dared to set foot in the 'underground Penglai' that has never taken half a step! ”
Listening to the bearded man say so evil, I nodded in response, but the latter sentence "underground Penglai" is somewhat meaningful, Penglai is the legendary fairy mountain holy land, but the word "underground" is added in front, the taste changes suddenly, underground Penglai, can there be any fairy mountain holy land hidden underground?
Oh! I almost jumped, Xianshan...... Ground floor...... There is a fairy mountain hidden underground, the fairy ...... Xiantuo Mountain?!
No wonder I have been looking for Xiantuo Mountain, no one knows at all, it turns out that Xiantuo Mountain does not not exist, but exists in another way, I stared at the beard tightly, and asked excitedly: "Brother Shunyu, can you tell me, that ...... How to go to Penglai underground? ”
"Yo!" The bearded man shrank his neck coldly, and said in surprise: "Brother Seventh Chu, why do you want to go to that kind of place?" That underground Penglai is a dead Jedi! ”
I said without hesitation: "No matter what Jedi it is, I must find the underground Penglai, Brother Shunyu, you just tell me!" ”
The blood in the body gradually boiled, it turned out that there was no way out, and now it really caught up with the sentence "another village......
The bearded man thought about it with a sad face, then shook his head and sighed lightly, and said: "That place, the entrance is a ghost forest, and you can hear the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling inside during the day, it is very evil...... Besides, I don't know what demons and monsters are inside, if I go in and take my life again, how unjust will it be? It's not that I don't like your small body, big brother, you see that you can't take out a lot of strength from top to bottom, and it's not enough for other monsters to stuff their teeth......"
"Uh......"
Being so praised and belittled by the beard, I smiled embarrassedly, and quickly looked down at my body bones, indeed, compared to the five big beards and three thick beards, I am at most skinny, and I am really a little shabby.
"Godfather, what you said is not right, in front of people, Uncle Chu Qi may not be worth mentioning, but if you encounter any demons and monsters, hehe, it will be different!"
The voice of the ghost baby relieved me in time, I looked back, the ghost baby was grimacing, I couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly.
I didn't know that the bearded man didn't listen to the ghost baby at all, and still refused to tell me how to go to Penglai underground, and shouted angrily: "What do children know!" Brother Chu, listen to his nonsense, that place is not that simple, big brother, I don't tell you, I don't want you to take risks, and take your life in vain! ”
As he spoke, the beard cleaned up slightly, and he was busy cooking, when the ghost baby in the inner room quietly beckoned to me, and my eyes lit up and I hurriedly walked in.
"Uncle Chuqi, are you really going to Penglai underground?"
The ghost baby asked in a low voice.
I didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "I have to go!" ”
The ghost baby suddenly smiled wryly and said, "What if I say I can take you there?" ”
Hearing this, I exclaimed in surprise: "Do you know how to go to Penglai underground?!" ”
The ghost baby seemed to be happier than me, and said with a smile: "Although I have only been in Ganshui Village for four years, I know all the mountains and rivers here, and even where my godfather doesn't know, I also know, Uncle Chuqi, do you need help now?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "You kid, I really can't do anything about you, but I tell you, I won't accept you, because...... I'm also confused right now......"
After speaking, I turned around and came to the window, opened the curtains, and the night slowly poured in, and the coolness was bursting, but my heart could not be calm for a moment.
The ghost baby waited for a long time before she spoke: "Whether or not Uncle Chu Qi accepts me as an apprentice, I want to follow you, as long as I can cultivate with you, I will be satisfied......"
I turned my head, but saw the ghost baby staring at me, it seemed, this is the biggest concession he can think of, I made up my mind, and motioned to the ghost baby to look at the stove house outside, and said: "Even if I promise to let you follow me to cultivate, I'm afraid your godfather will be reluctant, he is now left with you, you must know, if you leave, what hope does your godfather have in this life?" ”
The ghost baby looked at the stove house silently, the bearded man who was busy on the edge of the stove, although the bearded man had a rough personality, but his heart was very kind and simple, if the ghost baby broke his heart again, then he ...... I won't be able to stand the blow!
"Uncle Chuqi, I must go!"
The ghost baby seemed to think for a long time before continuing: "I can't be with my godfather, my godfather is a good person, because of this, I can't hurt my godfather, my specialness will only bring him ominous, even if it's okay now, I'm afraid it will bring disaster in the future, if I have to choose, I'd rather bless my godfather from afar, a lifetime of peace and security, health and longevity!" ”
I looked at the ghost baby in surprise and said, "What do you want?" Don't you ......?"
Before the words were finished, the ghost baby nodded violently, it seems that the following words do not need to be said again, this kid is simply a little goblin, I want to think about it, what the ghost baby said is not unreasonable, the natural yin and yang eyes are destined to be different from the fate of ordinary people, and the path taken is not within the scope that ordinary people can understand, relatively, the life of ordinary people is not suitable for ghost babies, otherwise, he will not be trapped at home all day.
It's just that the ghost baby wants to say goodbye without saying goodbye, although the sad side is avoided on the surface, but the bearded man's heart will definitely be traumatized again, and it is a wound that cannot be made up for a lifetime, if the ghost baby endures the bearded like that, I won't bear to see this scene.
The ghost baby didn't say anything more, and I didn't know what to say for a while, such a dilemma, I'm afraid no one can calmly resolve it.
Dinner, still very tasty, to say that the beard seems rude, but cooking and housework are not a problem, the ghost baby walked out of the room, the three of us got together to eat, the bearded man was very happy to pick up vegetables for the ghost baby, and was busy pouring wine for me to pull home, the scene made people feel warm, there is no lack of a trace of sadness welling up in the heart.
The ghost baby ate the meal very cooperatively, and as if nothing had happened, from time to time the bearded man laughed happily, like a father and son, but I knew that this meal would be the last dinner for the ghost baby and the beard......
The night gradually enveloped the earth, embracing this small Ganshui village into its arms.
After eating, the bearded man smiled and said, "Go to bed early, I'm done sleeping." ”
“…… Well! ”
The ghost baby looked at the bearded man in a daze, and after a long time, he nodded heavily, and then turned around sharply, and at the moment of turning around, two lines of hot tears rolled down, but the bearded man did not see this scene, his face was full of happy smiles, and he turned his head and walked out of the door.
I felt a little sour in my heart, and I didn't understand whether I was right or wrong to do this...... Now, I can only hope that it is right, at least, the departure of the ghost baby can make the bearded man live better, but, is this really the case?
