Chapter 2: Ghost Hunting
"It's so fragrant~ Hurry up and give the dog some to the dog!" the dog flopped and crawled out of the door.
"Eh, are your feet alright?" the nerdy scholar looked at the dog's balls that were munching, and was shocked.
"Uh~ doesn't seem to hurt much!" "Dogan lifted the front swing and looked at his legs.
"Damn, the old king has appeared! Master Dog, I'm fine~" The dog touched his right foot and jumped twice in joy.
"It's okay, it's a little lame, the dog doesn't care. After the excitement, the dog swept away the stomach in the basin.
At night, the nerd continued to study, and the dog planned to go out of the city tomorrow to get some meat and go to bed early.
The dog fell asleep, and the gray mist hidden in the depths of his mind drifted down the veins to the wound in his right leg, repairing his stump little by little.
Early in the morning, it was drizzling, and when the dog woke up, the nerd scholar was gone, and the pig in the basin was still hot. After Goudan'er finished breakfast, he played the family fist passed down by the old king at the door. After punching down again, the blood boiled and the whole body was full of strength, and after making sure that the body was recovered, the dog went out with a limp leg.
First came to the blacksmith shop to hang around, and when he went out of the city, Goudan'er had an extra horn bow on his back, a half-barrel arrow hanging from his waist, and a short sword about a foot long under Goudan'er's tattered animal skin coat. The veteran at the gate of the city couldn't help but look twice, this lame boy who looked like eleven or twelve years old.
Out of the East City Gate, in front of you is the edge of the Falling Star Mountain Range, and the dogs are running wildly. Half an hour later, I stepped into the mountains and forests.
"Old man Wang, if you bless me to get prey today, I'll buy you a jar of burning knives!"
"Grin~Grin~"
The dog jumped up a pine tree, bent his bow and arrows, and made a noise in his mouth to attract pheasants. I called for a cup of tea, but there was no response on the hillside. The dog climbed over a ridge and headed deep into the forest.
"Click~"
The dog Dan'er exerted force on his waist, the longbow bounced on the ground, the trap on the ground bounced, the staggered teeth flashed, and one of Kongda's shoes was bitten, and there was an extra row of holes.
"Damn, it's so dangerous~ Fortunately, I escaped from the dog~ Old Wang, you're not authentic!"
"Chirp~Chirp~Dada~"
The dog's scolding sounded, and something was moving in a bush in the distance, listening to this sound, it should be a roe deer. The bow in the dog's hand was full, and the arrows were shot, splashing a little blood in the distance.
"Baby, don't run~ The dog is here~"
One arrow hit, and a moment later, another arrow passed through the dense bushes, and the screams rang out in the forest, and the dogs followed the bloodstains in the woods.
"It's weird, I have a good nose today!My eyesight is also good~" Dog Dan'er followed all the way, unconsciously climbed over a mountain, drove into the valley, and got into a dense forest.
"Chirp, whoop~"
Guided by bloodstains all the way, I came to a cave, and there were still some voices of cubs in the cave. The roe deer fell in front of the cave with two arrows stuck in its neck, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and it seemed that he would not survive.
"Old Wang, the dog master will buy you wine when he goes back!" Goudan'er stepped forward and pulled out the short sisal and turned out the roe deer.
"It's evil, why are you suddenly hungry and thirsty!" Goudan'er looked at the blood on the roe deer's neck, saliva gradually grew, and the stomach gurgled in his belly. The blood went straight to the nose with a fishy smell, and the dog was dizzy with hunger, so he couldn't help but taste it, and the qi and blood in the meridians in his body boiled.
"Gooo~"
After the dog drank the eggs, the roe deer under his body had no flesh and blood, only a piece of skin was stretched on the skeleton, and he died a miserable death. The mountain wind brought rain, and the forest screamed endlessly for a while, and the torrential rain poured down like a waterfall, drenching the dog's eggs all over the body.
The dog who came back to his senses looked at the scene in front of him, was frightened, and fell to the ground. Dog Dan'er used to drink blood with the masters on the mountain, and it was the first time that he had done this.
"Hell, old king, you have to bless me~ Heroes from all walks of life, the younger brother strayed into the precious land, please Haihan where you are disturbed, go back and buy some incense and candles for you, and come back tomorrow to worship!" I don't know how many traps I stepped on, but thanks to the unusually sharp hands and feet of the dog today, I didn't lose my life.
Out of the mountains and forests, the dog was naked, a pair of pants were cut into linen strips, except for the short sword in his hand, and even his shoes were lost. It wasn't until he met the hunters who entered the city that the dog Dan'er felt that he had arrived in the world.
Braving the heavy rain to enter the city, the veterans who were talking and laughing at the city gate watched the trembling lame boy return, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
The dog Dan'er returned to Qingsong Temple, and the nerd scholar had returned and was roasting the fire.
"Wu shouldn't, this rainstorm is drenched in such an embarrassing way, where are your clothes?" The nerd scholar draped his robe over the dog's body and gathered the fire.
"Idiot, the dog is hell today!Wow~" The dog Dan'er cried and threw himself into the scholar's arms.
"Nonsense, the people in the city are thriving, the yang energy is extremely strong, and there are even more bloody and strong armor guards the town, where do the ghosts come from. The nerd scholar reassured.
"The ...... I met on the mountain" Goudan'er choked up, told the story of the mountains and forests, and pinched the part where he sucked blood, so as not to frighten the scholar.
"For the first time in my life, I thought I would meet this ghost! The book says that the ghost has a grudge before he dies, or has a grievance, and the ghost does not want your life, it seems that his nature is not bad, and my generation of scholars should administer justice for him, and tomorrow I will go up the mountain with you to investigate. The scholar smiled when he heard this.
"Lao Tzu didn't go, and it was not easy to escape back!" said the dog with a pout.
"Rest early, and go when the rain stops!" said the scholar, who continued his study without saying a word.
The rain was pouring down, thunder and lightning flashed, the wind was so bad that the raindrops drifted in through the windows, and the two of them were thinly clothed, snuggling up to the fire to keep warm.
"It's so hot, it's so hot~" The dog's body seemed to be on fire, woke up from his dream, and ran into the heavy rain.
"Puff~Boom~"
The rain hit the dog's body with a sound, and the gray robe turned brown, mixed with the blood-colored sludge that came out of the body, forming a hard shell. The dog was drenched in the rain until dawn, and his body was cold, and his body moved, and the black robe he was wearing was torn and fell to the ground.
"Old Wang, do you think that old man is messing with ghosts? It's about to toss the dog master to death!" Gou Dan'er scolded and scolded into the Taoist temple hall, squatting naked on the edge of the fire to keep warm, and after a while, the dog Dan'er fell asleep on the edge of the fire with his eyelids together.
When the two woke up, the rain had stopped, and the scholar looked at the naked dog, and took out a shirt from the bag and put it on him.
"According to you, it may be the I Ching to wash the marrow, and these fishy filths are discharged from your body. The scholar crouched at the door of the main hall, rummaging through rags.
"That means that the dog master has the foundation of cultivating immortals?" Gou Dan'er laughed, muttering in his heart: "Could it be a ghost from the Heaven Devouring Dragon Sutra?"
"It's hard to say, when I earn some more entanglements, you and I will go to Qingyan Sect together to see if there is an opportunity. The scholar smiled.
"Okay, Master Dog is going to talk to you today, and I can't finish talking about the affairs of the sinner's village for three days and three nights!"
"Wait, today I want to go into the mountains to see, the ghost you said. The scholar threw off his arms and went out alone.
"Don't mind, Uncle Huang, I'll go with you, I'm familiar with the road!" Goudan'er held the short sword in his hand and walked towards the city gate with the scholar.
"I said, you are a weak scholar, walking so fast?"
"I'm fast, I can't catch up with you crippled boy, and I've learned nothing about riding and shooting~" The nerd scholar gasped and walked side by side with the dog.
"Hmm, it's so fast, the dog master deserves to be a good seedling of cultivation!" Gou Dan'er looked at the sweaty scholar and slowed down.
Dogdan'er opened the way with a short sword in hand, and two hours later, the two of them came to the cave covered in mud.
"Wu shouldn't, you are doing evil, not long after this roe deer gave birth, the young beast in the cave had no parents and was already dead!" the scholar turned around the cave and sighed.
"Aren't you looking for ghosts, what are you sad to look at the deer!" Seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the mountain, the dog Dan'er skinned the deer, wrapped the frozen fawn, and carried it on his shoulder. The two walked around the mountains, but did not find any ghosts, and returned to the city.
The scholar continued to tell the story, and the dog sold the young beast to the restaurant in the city, and the deerskin was sold to the leather merchant, and the Tao was very familiar, and it only took half an hour to get back a small bag of copper plates.
With entanglement, the two of them left the border city after buying and purchasing some clothes, and went to Qingyanzong. The road turns with the mountains, and after the dog is washed by the Yi Jing, the ears and eyes are clear, the flesh and blood are strong, and he walks through the mountains and forests all the way, picking a large number of medicinal herbs and some fine furs. I met with the caravans along the way and made a small fortune.
Half a month later, Godaner bought two horses in a small city, and he traveled all the way through three cities.
The first city at the foot of the mountain gate of Qingyan Sect, Qingyan City, has long been crowded with people. The city is full of traffic, and the inns are already full.
"Scholar, what do you say is this, we used to have no money to live in the Taoist temple, but now we have money to live in the Taoist temple!"
"You are content, you are just running into the Qingyan Sect recruiting disciples, you just go to try it tomorrow! Huang Shusheng held the scroll in his hand and said with a wry smile.
"In case I am chosen, what are your plans?" Goudan'er sat up and looked at the scholar.
"A saint has clouds, and walking thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books! I, continue to travel, step on the four major sects, and enter Beijing to take the exam!"
"Well, in case I'm chosen, I'll leave you with the money I have for you to travel. Dogan said after a moment of silence.
"Okay, then we'll make up our minds! I'll go with you tomorrow!"
The two talked in the vernacular for half the night, and the nerd scholar only turned one page of the book.
