Chapter 65: Strange Hill
Xiao Kong saw it and hurriedly wanted to salute, guessing that it should be the medicine made by this elder.
"You don't have to salute, you are injured, be careful not to move too much for the past two days. β
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Kong said, and asked, "According to the Master, how is my injury?"
"It's okay, it's okay, the young man heals quickly, and he'll be fine after two days of rest. The old monk said:
"Your injury is caused by an external force, it stands to reason that such a serious injury will hurt the muscles and bones, and hurt the internal organs, but the small donor has a strong body and peculiar bones, but it is only a minor injury, which is also strange. He shook his head.
Xiaokong smiled bitterly, and suddenly said, "I haven't asked the master for the law yet!"
The old monk was about to answer, but Xiao Yi hurriedly said: "I once told you that when I was young, I was sent to a temple and raised by an old monk, do you remember?"
Xiao Kong thought for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Yi said: "This is the old abbot who raised me when I was a child. β
Xiao Kong's face showed gratitude when he heard this, and he hurriedly saluted and said, "The master has raised my brother since he was a child, and now he has saved me, this kind of great kindness is really difficult to repay!"
The old monk saw that he was very polite, and he liked it very much, and said: "Xiaoyi grew up with me since he was a child, and he is like my own family, so you don't have to be polite here." β
It turned out that this old monk was the abbot of Xiao Yi who was sent to that temple after the death of his parents. Just because this place is located by the sea, the location is remote and not easy to attract people's eyes, and it is not too far from the location of the Dragon Palace, so Xiao Yi thought of this place and carried Xiao Kong here. This old monk is just an ordinary monk, and he doesn't have any special magic powers, but he is proficient in medical skills and is good at treating all kinds of injuries.
While speaking, Xiao Yi helped Xiao Kong to the bed again and placed him to lie down. Seeing this, the kitten jumped on Xiao Kong's body again, stretched out his tongue and licked the place of his wound.
Seeing this scene, Xiaokong's heart warmed, picked up the kitten, and said, "You, it's amazing, you saved me, I haven't thanked you yet!" The kitten seemed to understand, put its head against Xiaokong's chest, rubbed it twice, and licked his wound after a while.
Xiao Kong picked it up and said, "You are really a sensible kitten!" For a while, the two of them were happy and forgot about the pain.
On the second day, Xiaokong felt that his injuries were much better, and when he saw the dim light in the house, he couldn't help but feel bored in his heart, so he said to Xiaoyi: "I want to go outside." β
Xiao Yi said: "Your injuries have not healed yet, so don't go out in the end." But seeing that Xiao Kong was determined, he said, "Why don't I go with you." The two walked out of the house together. Seeing this, the kitten also followed the two out of the house.
Xiaokong looked around the temple and saw that this was a temple in a remote place in the countryside, saying that it was a temple, but it was actually very simple, it was three main houses, one courtyard, and two side houses outside the courtyard gate. The exterior walls of the house are painted in earthy yellow, and the building of the house is not very tall, but it looks old, as if it is some years old.
Xiao Yi glanced around and saw that there was no one in the temple, so he said: "The abbot is not in the temple, he should have gone out to collect medicine, we all went out, what if he can't find us when he comes back after a while?"
Xiaokong said: "It doesn't matter, let's take a look around and come back, it won't be long." β
The two of them and a cat went out of the temple, Xiaokong looked at it for a while, and found that this temple was built on a flat place under a hillside, which is not too far from the North Sea, and the water surface of the North Sea can be faintly seen when you climb the hillside.
The two of them climbed the hillside and saw the crops and farmland around them, as well as the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation and joy. He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that there was a hill not far from this hillside, and when he looked closely, he found that the hill was more peculiar, it was round, and the slope was gentle, compared with the other mountains around him, the slope of this hill was very uniform, and the same slope was in a circle, as if it had been carved out by artificiality. The top of the mountain is still flat, as if it has been artificially flattened, which is also different from the surrounding mountains.
Xiaokong looked at the mountain for a long time, and saw that although this mountain was not particularly high, it was still a little higher than the surrounding mountains, and it was the highest mountain in this small mountain. Its shape is like an awl, large at the bottom and small at the top, and the shape is very regular. Xiaokong couldn't help but be interested, he loved the scenery of nature, and he went to the famous mountains and rivers there to enjoy it everywhere. Seeing that the mountain was not far away, he said, "Let's go, go and see." The two of them and the cat went to the hill together.
As they approached the hill slowly, they found it bare and had no vegetation, which made them even more curious, so they quickened their pace to climb the mountain.
When they arrived at the mountain, they found that the mountains were all gray, and the stones under their feet were also very relaxed, and there was no feeling of hard mountains and rocks at all. When they walked upwards to the top of the mountain, they saw that the top of the mountain was of the same height all around, as if the tip of the awl had been removed, but there was a big depression in the middle of the top of the cone, and then they grabbed the soil under their feet with their hands, but they saw that the soil and stones on the top of the mountain were soft and soft, and there was no stone texture at all. Looking around the top of the mountain, there are some traces of animal hoof prints, which are quite large, saying that cow hooves do not look like cow hoof prints, and dog hooves do not look like dog hoof prints.
Xiaokong had traveled through many mountains, and he understood that this mountain was a volcano, and it was also an active volcano, and the reason why the mountain was soft without plants and rocks was because it was caused by the volcanic ash left behind by the eruption. After he figured it out, when he looked at the depression, there was still a faint smoke, and when he touched the mountain under his feet with his hand, he could still feel some warm heat.
This trip was not in vain, he had seen many famous mountains and rivers, but it was the first time he had seen such a bare volcano. He was interested, so he jumped into the hollow, carefully observed the structure of the inside, and experienced the feeling inside, and sure enough, it was hotter than the outside, and when he looked closely, he found that the smoke was gradually getting thicker and thicker. In addition, he found more animal hoof prints here, but it is speculated from the traces that those hoof prints on the top of the mountain should have been left by the same species. It's strange that an animal can come here, he thought. At this time, he looked at the smoke, but found that the smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
It's really fate, he thought. This volcano is very rare, but this smoking active volcano is even rarer. He was so happy that he couldn't help beckoning to Xiao Yi and motioning for him to come down and play too. When he beckoned, he didn't see Xiao Yi respond, and when he looked at Xiao Yi again, he saw Xiao Yi turning his head, as if he was talking to someone, and his mouth was open. He thought it was strange who he was talking to. was thinking about it, but suddenly saw Xiao Yi making a rapid move towards him, shouting at him to hurry up.
What's the matter?, he thought, was having a good time, and was lazily lying inside and wouldn't come up.
"Come up, come up!" I saw Xiao Yi shouting at him with an anxious face, as if something had happened. So he reluctantly stopped watching and climbed up.
It turned out that Xiao Yi saw the old monk running in their direction quickly, so he ran back and shouted. At the beginning, Xiao Yi only found the old monk, but he didn't know what he was shouting, but he felt that he was very anxious; and when the old abbot slowly approached, he heard the old monk shouting, it turned out that the old monk had been shouting: "Come back quickly, you can't go there, the volcano is about to eruptγγγγγγ β
Xiao Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and when he saw the abbot's anxious appearance, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he desperately called Xiao Kong to come up.
Xiao Kong reluctantly climbed out of the depression, Xiao Yi saw this and hurriedly grabbed him, trying to pull him out at once, but at this moment, he only felt a violent vibration under his feet, and then there was a huge muffled sound in the mountain, and then blue flames erupted from the depression on the top of the mountain. The two of them were taken aback when they saw this, and hurriedly ran down the mountain, but at this time it was too late, and the flames sprayed from the depression hit Xiaokong's body one by one like lightning sparks, and because Xiaoyi held Xiaokong's hand again, the electric sparks also passed to Xiaoyi's body through Xiaokong.
