Chapter 30: Stealing nectar
When Zi Yu heard this, all the messy thoughts at that moment suddenly disappeared. I don't know why, she suddenly had a slightly sour nose, and quickly threw herself into the man's arms: "Tanuki, I miss you so much." ”
Tanuki looked at the little girl with reddish eyes in his arms, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled even more, and quietly circled his hands, ignoring the exclamations of others, and flew up with Ziyu.
"Yikes!" Zi Yu realized that she had only reacted, and hugged the raccoon dog even tighter in fright, and then couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth in the laughter of the raccoon.
"Tanuki, where are you going to take me?"
Seeing that the raccoon dog hadn't taken her to the ground for a long time, Zi Yu couldn't help but carefully look out through the gap in the corner of the raccoon man's clothes, and found that the hill houses they had traveled on were not in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, so she was relieved.
"Lonely Mountain Temple." Tanuki and Harmonic Voice.
Tanuki was aware of Ziyu's small movements, but he didn't say anything. But Ziyu didn't have this consciousness, and when she saw that the face of the raccoon dog didn't change, she thought that she hadn't been discovered, so she shrank in his arms with more peace of mind.
Gushan Temple is located in the northern suburbs of Qindu on a continuous mountain range, because the temple has produced several world-famous monks and the reputation of the mortal world is extremely victorious, slowly expand the development of the temple group but still hidden in the deep mountains, detached and solemn.
Although Ziyu didn't know what Tanuki was taking her to Gushan Temple for, she didn't bother to use her brain, anyway, Tanuki wouldn't harm her, so as long as she didn't take her back to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, she didn't care where else she went.
After arriving at the Gushan Temple, Tanuki did not get entangled, but took her straight to a side courtyard. The courtyard was featureless, there was a well in the courtyard, and some fruits and vegetables were planted next to it, but it was a bit like the small farm yard that Ziyu had seen before.
When Tanuki arrived at the courtyard, he was not in a hurry to enter, but first pointed to the well in the courtyard from a distance, and said to Ziyu with some seriousness: "I heard that Master Guanyin once enlightened the Buddha here, and before returning to the throne, in order to appreciate the kindness of his temple, he turned the well in the courtyard where he lived, and poured three drops of nectar into it."
"Later, the well water of that well had a life-saving effect, and became one of the immortal treasures of the Gushan Temple, and countless people poured all their belongings to ask for a drop of water, but few people could ask for it." Ziyu said casually, "I've heard this in Qindu, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
Tanuki smiled, rubbed Zi Yu's head, turned into a white jade porcelain bottle and handed it over: "Xiao Yu'er, I'll go in first to attract the attention of the people in the house, and then you remember to take the opportunity to fill a bottle of well water."
Zi Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stuffed the jade bone fan in his sleeve into it again, then reached out and took the porcelain bottle, and said excitedly: "Tanuki, are we going to steal water!"
Tanuki held back a smile, and there was a pampering in his eyes that couldn't be hidden: "It's borrowed."
Ziyu smiled and nodded, and carefully hid the porcelain bottle aside according to the instructions of the raccoon dog.
Seeing that Ziyu had taken cover, the raccoon dog turned into his original form, and then ran into the house, and after a while, a chaotic sound came from the house, mixed with a slightly immature voice: "Stinky fox, quickly return my scriptures to me!"
Zi Yu couldn't help but poke her head out of the corner slightly, only to see a red fox about half a person tall, with a book in his mouth, running out of the house quickly, running in the opposite direction of Zi Yu, and behind the fox was closely followed by a little novice with a red face, shouting while chasing: "Stinky fox, don't run!" ”
Zi Yu grinned when she saw this, and she almost laughed, but she desperately covered her mouth when she thought of Tanuki's previous instructions, but there was a smile in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
When the fox and the little novice were far away, and the quiet in the courtyard was restored, Ziyu probed her brain, cautiously walked out of the corner, looked around to make sure it was safe, and quickly ran to the well to fetch water.
When Zi Yu filled the jade porcelain bottle with water and was content to put it away and leave, the little novice who had gone out first happened to walk in from the door and directly greeted Zi Yu who was standing next to the well in the yard.
"Ahh There are thieves! ”
A heart-rending scream came from the mouth of the little novice, breaking the silence of the monastery.
Zi Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and then reacted, secretly trying to pinch the trick but found that he couldn't use the slightest spell.
Seeing that the little novice was about to come to Ziyu's side, a red shadow jumped out from behind the little novice and rushed to Ziyu's side at a faster speed.
Zi Yu did not hesitate, immediately reached out and grabbed the red fox, and quickly turned over and climbed up. Before Zi Yu could sit down, the red fox turned around again and ran towards the door reflexively.
Fortunately, Ziyu grabbed tightly, and after climbing up, she lay down tightly on the body of the raccoon dog, so although the speed of the raccoon dog was extremely fast, she was not thrown off, and managed to run out of the little novice with the earth-shattering shout.
Not long after running out of the door, a large group of monks rushed over when they heard the sound, but the speed of the people was not as fast as the fox, so it didn't take long for the raccoon dog to leave them far behind and run out of the Lonely Mountain Temple with Ziyu on his back.
After leaving the Gushan Temple, Tanuki did not rush back into human form, but borrowed a spell to carry Ziyu to the Qin capital.
After making sure that it was safe, Ziyu lay on the body of the raccoon dog and laughed to herself: "It's so exciting, Tanuki, that little novice is really fun." Ziyu rubbed her stomach, which was a little sore from laughing, "But why can't I use the spell there?" ”
"That Gushan Temple is not an ordinary temple, there is a protective barrier outside, which can suppress all spiritual power." Tanuki lazily crouched on the clouds, "Where do you live in Qindu, I'll send you over." ”
"Friend's Inn, it's close to where you appeared." Zi Yu lay on the back of the raccoon dog and ravaged the soft fox fur of the raccoon, "Let me tell you, Tanuki, I had a dream some time ago, I dreamed that I became the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, and the incident in the dream was that the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch sacrificed himself to save the Qinglong Divine Monarch. Tanuki, do you think this is a dream entrusted to me by the Suzaku Divine Monarch? ”
Tanuki wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he felt a little out of place, so he had to continue to lie lazily: "Have you told anyone else about this dream?" ”
"No, I'll tell you, this dream is known to the two of us." Ziyu squinted at the distance, and felt that there was still some distance, so she shrunk into a ball and slid off the back of the raccoon.
Seeing this, the raccoon dog made himself bigger again, and Ziyu rolled into his arms and rubbed his belly indiscriminately, not even noticing that a small box in his sleeve fell out.
"I think it's because the Divine Monarch thinks you're amiable, so I'll let you dream of it." As he spoke, Tanuki put his tail on Ziyu.
At this time, where was Ziyu still in the mood to think about those who had or not, nodded indiscriminately, but only felt that the hair of the raccoon dog was more supple and comfortable than before she left the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and couldn't help yawning, holding the tail of the raccoon dog to find a comfortable position in the belly of the raccoon, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Tanuki shook his head helplessly, stretched out his claws to pick up the box left by Zi Yu and put it away, slowed down the speed of the clouds, leaned his head against Zi Yu, and closed his eyes to take a nap.
When Ziyu woke up, she was in the inn, but Tanuki didn't know where to go.
Zi Yu got up from the bed, took out the jade porcelain bottle filled with nectar water from her arms and placed it on the table, and began to rummage through the box containing the jade bone fan that she had put in her sleeve before.
At this moment, Tanuki pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw Ziyu standing at the table and wanted to stuff his head into his sleeve, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?" ”
Zi Yu didn't raise her head, and one hand desperately pulled into her sleeve: "Find something." ”
Tanuki walked aside and admired Ziyu's expression for a while, and then slowly took out the box from his sleeve: "Is this it?" ”
Zi Yu glanced at it quickly, and was about to deny it, but suddenly stunned, and after being stunned for a while, he realized that "Why are you here?" ”
Zi Yu said that he was about to reach out to take the box, but when he saw this, he raised his hand and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I like this box very much, how about giving it to me?" ”
"Okay, okay, just give me the contents of the box."
Hearing this, the raccoon raised his hand higher: "The box belongs to me, and the contents will naturally belong to me." ”
"No way!" Zi Yu said hurriedly, stretching out his hand to snatch the box back.
Tanuki Zhi had the intention of teasing Ziyu, so naturally he would not easily let Ziyu take this box back. What's more, he was really curious about what was in this box, and he actually cared so much about his heartless little Yu'er.
He remembered that when he was on the street before, this girl was holding this box and smiling stupidly, and he didn't even notice that he was following him. Later, on the way to Gushan Temple to steal nectar, she also kept the box in her treasure, and she didn't feel at ease when she put it on her sleeve, and she secretly stuffed it several times on the way.
Ziyu didn't realize Tanuki's teasing heart. She would have been able to find out if she had left it in the past, but now that she was bent on getting the box back, she would have noticed the teasing tone in Tanukiyuki's tone when she said this.
It's just that she's not tall enough, and Tanuki's deliberate embarrassment makes it impossible for her to even reach the edge of the box.
Ziyu was in a hurry, jumped directly into the arms of the raccoon, hooked the raccoon dog's neck with one hand, and was about to grab the box with the other.
Tanuki was shocked at first, but he reacted after a long time, and the smile on his face was even worse, "A box can make Xiao Yu'er so attentive, and he does not hesitate to give him a hug for this, I am really more and more curious about what is in this box." ”
Ziyu was already anxious because she couldn't reach the box, but now she felt even more annoyed when she heard this, she withdrew her hand from grabbing the box and hammered it into the chest of Tanuki: "Stinky Tanuki, that's a gift I carefully selected and prepared to give to Brother Liuhuo, you give it back to me!" ”
The look in Tanuki's eyes suddenly dimmed a little when he heard this, and his face was still improper, Ziyu was sucked away from all his attention by the box, so he didn't notice the change in Tanuki: "If you want me to prepare a gift for you next time, you give it back to me now." ”
"Gifts? What gift? Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the house.
