The Age of Dawn Chapter 18 There is still a vicious fight on the edge of the woods
Anyone who sleeps in a daze, suddenly being so suddenly frightened, must be so frightened that his soul is gone, a cold sweat climbs up his back, and goosebumps are everywhere.
My mind was in turmoil, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a white smear.
I took a closer look, but it was the little fox that the old Taoist in Tsing Yi entrusted me to take care of, I don't know when it actually crawled into my arms, slept with me all night, and woke up at this time, licking my neck with his tongue. It was June, and although it was the height of summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains was large, and it was a little cold, so it was no wonder that it got into my arms. The little fox stretched out its pink tongue, and its eyes rolled slightly, and when it saw that I had woken up, it suddenly moved, and retracted back to the black grass next to it, and its body was tightly shrunk, and a bunch of big tails covered its head, but the little eyes were still looking at me.
I smiled at it, and the little fox was embarrassed, turned his head away, and ignored me.
I felt a little itchy on my neck, and subconsciously reached over to grab it, but I grabbed a lot of dry skin, and my fingers touched it, and the rotten flesh that was originally blurry was all scabbed overnight, and it was slippery to the touch. This situation made me full of joy, I got up after a sting, turned around, and found that the old road in Tsing Yi was not there, I ran out of the fairy mansion, and found that the fat girl actually took a broom made of bamboo branches to sweep the floor, it was small, the broom was big, and the result came and went, which was very ridiculous.
But seeing that even the fat girl is so conscious, I should also use practical actions to prove that I am not a useless person, otherwise according to the temperament of the Taoist master, maybe one day I will be unhappy, and he will drive me down the mountain.
He hasn't told me about the "ancestral spirit melting", what the hell is going on, I don't want to go home, in two years, I will face the threat of death again.
In June, early in the morning, an eight-year-old child, a thin little monkey, our brothers and I began to get busy, the fat girl was responsible for the cleaning of the entrance of the fairy mansion, and I first went back to see the little white fox, and found that it shrunk tightly, and ignored me, so I cleaned up the outside of the stone cave - I often watched my sister and my mother do housework, it was not complicated, but it required patience, if I had put it aside, I might not have been able to stay, and ran outside to the wild, but after this catastrophe, I also knew right and wrong, So he did things honestly.
Compared with the magical Taoism, the standard of living of the old Taoist in Tsing Yi belongs to the entry-level level, except for making a good meal, the rest is not good, this stone cave is messy, I work hard to clean in order to reflect my own value, and then gather up the objects inside. I had been busy for a long time, and I was so tired that when I saw that the little white fox had opened its eyes and looked at me again, I took a little cold boiled water, put it in a bowl, and put it in front of it.
The little white fox's eyes were bright, like a newborn baby, and the two of us stared at each other for a long time, and then it suddenly stuck its head over and licked it in small bites.
Seeing the way it drank water, my heart couldn't help but soften, and I whispered to it: "Little fox, are you the old man with whom your father and mother are gone?" Don't be afraid, Brother Erdan will take good care of you. As I muttered, the little white fox seemed to understand, and barked at me, like a dog, but sharper, like a woman's voice. The fat girl saw that I was talking to the little white fox, shook the broom, and crawled over, grimacing at the little white fox, and the three little ones giggled and laughed, so kind.
I was the only one of the three of us who could talk, so I patted my chest and said Little fox, fat girl, we are all poor people who have left our parents, don't worry, I will take care of you.
As soon as the fat girl saw me patting her chest, she did the same, I laughed, and it crawled behind me again, and its little fist beat me lightly and heavily, looking flattering.
I knew that the fat girl was hungry again, so I opened the lid of the pot, found a piece of cooked rabbit meat and threw it to it, the fat girl ate with a mouth full of oil, and the little white fox licked her lips and only envied, I saw that the little guy was not big, and it was estimated that he could only drink milk, but when he saw that he was hungry and panicked, he couldn't bear it, so he gave it a little broth, and the little white fox ate happily. After taking care of these two little guys, I also gnawed two bones myself, and after finishing carrying the garbage outside to bury it under the pine tree, I went around, and still didn't see the old Taoist in Tsing Yi, I was a little flustered, thinking that he had thrown us here?
Thinking like this, I was even more scared, remembering that there was an inner room in the Immortal Mansion, would he fall asleep in it?
Although I was a little afraid of the inner room with the magical bronze mirror in front of the door, I hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage and tiptoed over.
Passing by the bronze mirror, I glanced inside, and I was still me, with thin arms and legs, and my face was tense, full of nervousness. After the bronze mirror, I went inside, it was a passage, at first it was a little dark, and then it was bright, the whirring wind blew over, and I walked in to see, which is the inner room, it is clearly an open on the edge of a cliff, larger than the average house, there is a huge copper furnace in the middle, and there is a stone case next to it, on which there are many things, there are yellow rune paper, there are more than a dozen hanging brushes, and countless porcelain boxes containing ink, and many strange things.
The mountain wind blew from the other side, and blew cold on my face, but the lighter yellow pieces of paper on the stone case did not move at all.
I know that this is the arrangement of the old Tsing Yi road, which can allow those winds to bypass here and pass through the passage - no wonder it was so cold yesterday, it turned out to be the reason for this.
Tsing Yi Lao Dao was not in the inner room, but there were a lot of dazzling things in it, I was stunned when I saw it, but I didn't expect a cold voice to suddenly come from behind me and ask: "What are you doing here, who told you to come in?" I was startled, turned my head, but found that there was no one, and I couldn't help but be even more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I came in to see if the Taoist master was not there......"
I looked around, and suddenly a stone face appeared on the wall, and I sat on the ground with a chill.
Shiyan looked at me for a long time, and then said slowly: "He went to find an old friend, this is his forbidden place, you must not come in if you don't order me in the future, you know?" This face is angular, it is a middle-aged man, I am apprehensive, but I know that it is with the old Tao in Tsing Yi, so I asked in a low voice: "Oh, I know-my name is Chen Erdan, what is your name?" ”
"Old ghost!" After Shi Mian spat out these two words, he ordered: "There are two wooden barrels next to the water tank, go down the peak mountain road, and there is a spring when you reach the middle of the mountain, you will be responsible for fetching water every day in the future, go and ...... quickly."
This was the first conversation I had with the old ghost, and it was strange that in addition to the initial horror, I was full of curiosity about the human face that appeared on the mountain wall. At his command, I soon carried the two barrels with a flat pole, and took the fat girl to the spring of which the old ghost had spoken to fetch water. Up and down the mountain, it takes more than an hour, and this bucket is big, I am small, tossing back and forth for an afternoon, in the evening Tsing Yi Lao Dao came back, did not pay much attention to me, just brought some fish and shrimp to the little white fox, and there is something called yellow essence.
The old man in Tsing Yi doesn't pay much attention to people, and the fat girl and the little white fox are good, but they can't speak, I held back the words in my heart for a day, except for the fat girl and the little white fox, no one paid attention, so I wanted to talk to the face on the wall, but I didn't dare, I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, I heard someone call me, opened my eyes in a daze, and saw the old ghost appear again, and asked me with a smile: "Erdan, Erdan, do you want to learn the Tao?" ”
I was agitated for a while, and immediately came to my senses, and quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I want to!" ”
The old ghost smiled and said: "If you want to learn the Tao, you must first learn to write, I will teach you, the heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate; The sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu column is ......"
