In the face of my question, Master pulled me forward (due to the trauma to my soul, my physical strength was already lower than Master's), and said very directly: "Naturally, someone is helping us, and you have seen it. ”

"Who is it?" Actually, I have a vague guess, after all, I can get clues from the snakes, but I'm not sure.

Because after all, there are so many snake spirits in the snake group this time, and there is even a beetle snake that only exists in Taoist legends, and the person who drove it must be very capable.

And I naturally have an understanding of snake exorcists, that is, the pair of grandchildren I saw when I was a child, maybe they are masters and apprentices, because of the age, my memory is also a little vague, but from the impression at that time, they can't be

As if he saw what I was thinking, Master patted me on the head and said, "You think you are the only genius in the whole world?" A lot of people will be better than the blue. It's him, you laughed at others when you were a child, and you can't make a sound when you play the bamboo flute. ”

As soon as Master said this, I couldn't help but think of the image of that year, a handsome and silent young man, a somewhat shy young man, wearing a washed white military uniform, a wrinkled broken military hat buttoned on his head, and the image of a bamboo flute with his head bowed.

And his master, of course, or his grandfather? That old and terrifying old man, Master's friend!

Master said that the blue is better than the blue, I believe he is referring to the young man, I tried to recall their names, and then I remembered that the old man who drove the snake was called Lao Wu Tou'er, and the young man was called Xiao Ding.

These memories seem to unfold the picture scroll of that year for me, making me feel like I have returned to the years of that year, and I am still naïve, full of curiosity, the snake group dug up, the mysterious snake spirit, and everything from the righteous master, with a slightly yellowish color, which makes my heart warm suddenly.

It was also at this time that we climbed to the top of this mountain, and the sound of the bamboo flute had become an unusually melodious sound, which entered our eardrums, which was a normal tune, with the loneliness of the night, making people warm and lonely.

The master stood at the top of the mountain and looked back at the bottom of the mountain, those pursuers were already halfway up the mountain, and the speed was not fast, but he breathed a sigh of relief without care, and sighed: "This Xiaoding has become more and more powerful, and the secret of the snake gate can be brought into ordinary life." ”

There was a slight wind on the top of the mountain, which made me sweaty, and the clothes that stuck to my back were also slightly agitated, and my heart was indescribably comfortable after the pressure.

But I don't understand Master's words, what does it mean to bring the secret of the Snake Gate into life? Master laughed inexplicably twice, and suddenly wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Reincarnation and inheritance are really a wonderful thing, the next generation has grown up, and the vigorous era that belongs to you has come and is also underway. I'm getting old, but I think my apprentice Sanwa'er has grown up. ”

I looked at the master inexplicably, but the master pulled me and ran towards the valley below, because the sound of the bamboo flute was obviously coming from the valley, and the sound was moving.

"Xiao Ding is amazing, you haven't forgotten, have you? When he was a child, he played the bamboo flute, and you laughed at others and couldn't make a sound, but later you learned that it was blown to snakes, and people naturally couldn't hear it. However, in the legend of the Snake Gate, there is a very powerful method of driving away snakes and controlling snakes - the sound of the heart, the sound born from the heart, only conveyed to the object you want to convey, this bamboo flute sound, I think only the two of us can hear it. "Compared to the hillside road, this downhill road is so comfortable to run, it is a gentle slope, but it is full of weeds, but surprisingly there are no potholes.

I was dragged all the way down by the master, and I actually had a sense of pleasure riding the wind, did I belong to the big era of the younger generation? I was so enthusiastic that I heard Xiao Ding's magical exercises.

I know that there must be some subtle principles that can be explained, just like others see the mysterious magic of Taoism and think it is amazing, but in fact, some things are not inexplicable or so mysterious.

However, since this is the secret of the snake gate, I don't think I can understand it, but I just think that such a mysterious method, the name is so beautiful, and the heart sound is really inexplicably pleasant.

The younger generation, the vigorous big era, will this Xiaoding also be one of them? I suddenly had the feeling that every scene of my life was being connected.

This feeling, what makes me feel the most beautiful is that we have grown up, will one day, we be able to protect the older generation? And it's amazing that we're going to be the mainstay in front of the beliefs and principles that we all stand for.

Therefore, Master will also have such a feeling, reincarnation and inheritance are really a wonderful thing, just like the endless life in nature

Maybe it's the same idea, the inexplicable tacit understanding doesn't need to be spoken, we can only understand it, but because of this, Master and I couldn't help but laugh out loud on the way downhill, feeling a kind of wanton presumptuousness, and what chasing soldiers, what holy kings, all were left behind by us.

Life is in the present, and the happiness of a moment is also the present, so why think so much?

We soon ran down the hillside and into a long and narrow valley, where it was even darker because of the terrain, and my eyes couldn't adapt to it for a while, and I was a little confused, but the sound of the bamboo flute stopped at this time, and the master was a little confused.

"I haven't seen you for many years, Grandpa Jiang, Chen Chengyi." It was also as we fumbled around and found a direction according to the direction of the sound just now, and for less than three minutes, a clear voice came from above.

At this time, my eyesight finally adjusted to the darkness, and suddenly I heard a voice from above, and I couldn't help but look up.

Under the moonlight, I saw a figure, with very long hair, tied at random at the back of the head, no beard on the face, pale but strangely clean, in the moonlight, I could vaguely see some lines on the face, adding some vicissitudes, but the delicate eyebrows and the memory of the boy continued to coincide.

The temperament has changed a lot, and the shyness at the beginning has become calm and calm in the vicissitudes of life today.

And once he also had a youthful heart, so he chose to wear the most popular military uniform of that era, although the washed white hair is now wearing a very long cardigan, although it is a little old, but it also adds a bit of elegant feeling to his whole person.

In line with his temperament, at this moment he was holding a green shiny bamboo flute, just standing on a relatively high rock, looking at us with a smile.

"Xiao Ding." I couldn't help but scream, although there are few intersections, but between people, if a teenager meets, that memory is always warm, indelible, and inexplicably cordial.

"Do you remember me?" Xiao Ding's face showed a hint of surprise, and then his sleeves fluttered off the rock, looking a little chic.

"Don't you remember me, too?" I scratched my head.

"Haha, in fact, Grandpa Jiang used to always come to see me and Master, and he inevitably mentioned you every time, of course I remember you. I thought you didn't remember me. Xiao Ding smiled again, but this smile was full of the shadow of the youth, looking shy and a little shy.

However, there is an essential difference from Tao Bai's 'neurotic' shyness.

"Alright, don't be busy catching up." Just when Xiao Ding and I couldn't help but say a few words, the master, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted our conversation, and then looked at Xiao Ding and said solemnly: "Xiao Ding, you know that if I use this 'snake medicine', I will be in great trouble. Can you help? If not, show the way. ”

"My deceased master, who is also my grandfather, once gave Grandpa Jiang this snake medicine, what did he say? Do you remember Grandpa Jiang? Xiao Ding glanced at my master, and his eyebrows were full of sincerity, but when he mentioned Old Wu'er, he couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.

I was also inexplicably sad, remembering that the old Wu Touer who gave me the bamboo tube back then passed away? And Master didn't tell me all this.

He said, "When Master said this, he was a little hesitant, but Xiao Ding grabbed me, but he grabbed Master again, and his ears seemed to be listening to something, and at this time, I noticed a black and shiny xenomorph snake that I didn't know at all suddenly winding up from the ground around Xiao Ding's legs and climbing up Xiao Ding's shoulders.

This snake is not long, but it feels unusually fierce, 'hissing' and spitting snake letters, and his eyes are full of strange spirituality, as if he is talking to Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding was silent for about five seconds, and then his face became a little serious, and he said to me and Master: "Grandpa Jiang, Sanwa'er, the chasing soldiers seem to be very powerful, let's not say more for the time being, you can come with me." ”
