Chapter 63: The Ordinary Is True
Ling Xiao, who had turned into a human form, held the small bell in his hand, looked up to the sky and sighed, not knowing whether he was lamenting that he was finally free, or if he was lamenting the power of the owner of the bell.
After turning into a human form, Ling Xiao was even more powerful than his body. The aura of heroism is pervasive, and the aura of strength is exuded all over the body, and the legendary invincible god of war is probably nothing more than that.
Ling Xiao's huge palm spread out, and he brought the delicate little bell in front of him, as if he had found something abnormal. Then he put the bell to his ear and shook it slightly--the bell was not the sound of jingling bells, but the voice of a person: "The merit is complete, give you the advanced technique, and return the 'exquisite pearl' back to the 'un......phased coffin';
The bell echoed this sentence repeatedly, and the three of them fell into a trance. The sound of the bell seemed to be that of an old man, not loud, but unusually clear, as if it had come directly into your mind, not in your ears.
Lei Luo and Wan Er looked at Ling Xiao without speaking, both of them understood that this Ling Xiao had been guarding the "Yunjin Heavenly Clothes" and "Qingluan Leaving the Dead" for thousands of years, just to obtain a more advanced cultivation method - now, it was time for him to get what he wanted.
Ling Xiao pondered the meaning of these two sentences repeatedly, and then looked at the empty crystal coffin, a smile appeared on his face.
Ling Xiao's steps were so big, and he was calm and strong, but after only two or three steps, he stepped in front of the crystal coffin.
looked at the bell in his hand, looked at the crystal coffin in front of him, and Ling Xiao gently put the bell in.
Nothing happened, nothing miracles. Lei Luo and Wan Er couldn't help but be a little disappointed, disappointed in Ling Xiao.
"He would never lie to me. Ling Xiao took out the little bell and said to himself, "Your words have never been wrong, maybe I was wrong." ”
Proud as the beast emperor Ling Xiao, the legendary white tiger, actually trusts and respects a person so much, I really don't know what kind of fairy-like existence this person is.
Ling Xiao held the bell in one hand, picked up the lid of the crystal coffin with the other, explored it carefully, and after a moment, he put it down in disappointment. Then he carefully looked at the four walls of the crystal coffin, and even turned the crystal coffin over, but still found nothing.
Suddenly, Ling Xiao seemed to remember something, and repeated the words in the bell: "Also 'Linglong Zhu' back to 'Wuxiang Coffin', and 'Linglong Zhu' back to 'Wuxiang Coffin', the lid is not closed, naturally it is not a complete 'coffin'......"
As he spoke, he put the little bell into the crystal coffin again, and then carefully closed the lid. Like the grassroots heard the spring thunder, like the wall dragon lit his eyes, the moment the lid closed, the bell inside vibrated rapidly, making a crisp ring. With the ringing of the bells, the crystal coffin began to slowly shrink, slowly shrinking, and finally became only the size of a brick......
"Unexpectedly, there are still treasures in the world that can change their size at will......" Ling Xiao was exclaiming, but was dumbfounded by Wan Er's words: "You were such a big monster just now, but now you have become a person, you can change, why can't it change?"
Ling Xiao didn't dare to answer, although he was the Beast Emperor, his deep-seated fear of Wan'er was lingering.
Ling Xiao picked up the shrunken crystal coffin on the ground, and with a gentle push, he lifted the lid. Ling Xiao glanced inside, and his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and he looked up to the sky and howled, and the whistle was indescribably happy.
"Boy, girl, after all, I Ling Xiao has to thank you. Ling Xiao stopped the whistling, turned back to the two of them and said, "If it weren't for you, I, Ling Xiao, might not have been able to get this thing." As he spoke, he raised the shrunken crystal coffin in his hand.
"I haven't seen the sun in Ling Xiao for thousands of years, and now it's the hour, the sun is shining, don't pass it over, there will be a period later. As he spoke, he leaped forward, turned into a giant beast, and with a faint black smoke, he drilled out of the steps by the stone wall......
The speed was so fast, Lei Luo didn't have time to save it, and Ling Xiao had no shadow. Lei Luo was about to pull Wan'er out and chase him out, but unexpectedly, there was a loud sound from above, which shook the two of them and almost fell.
As soon as Lei Luo and Wan Er stood firm, they ran up. When I went up to look at it, I couldn't help but be shocked: the murals on the two walls of the corridor had been blurred by Ling Xiao, and a huge hole appeared on the huge stone gate in front of me......
Along the spiraling stairs to the ground, where is there still "Beast Emperor Ling Xiao", where there is also "Traction Qiankun", where there is also "Wooden Dragon Bagua Array", a dense jungle in the depths of Wan'er and Thunderfall, surrounded by ancient trees, but can no longer be placed in formation.
There are too many invisible forces in this world, too many unimaginable possibilities. Wan Er and Lei Luo looked at each other and smiled, identified the direction, and walked towards Lei Huang Village.
This smile is a laugh at the fact that they were husband and wife in the previous life, and they can still love each other in this life; this laugh is laughing at the impermanence of fortune and misfortune, but they will eventually be safe. I believe that no matter how many thorns lie ahead, this pair of young men and women can also face the wind and rain together.
When I came to the cliff of the iris tree, the sky was already bright, and the warm sun shone on my body, which was indescribably relaxed and comfortable. Lei Luo stroked Wan'er's hair and said softly: "Although mortals can't see this 'Yunjin Tianyi' and 'Qingluan Leaving the Dead', it's inconvenient to take it with you after all, let's go, I'll take you to a good place and put these two things down." ”
As he spoke, Lei Luo picked up his back and climbed towards the Iris Thunder Flower Tree, which was already a dead branch and a remnant of leaves.
After disposing of the two treasures, the two happily returned to the village. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to custom, the daughter should go back to her parents' house to see her parents on this day, Wan'er said softly to Lei Luo: "I have to go back quickly, I still have to go to see my grandparents today, otherwise ......"
As soon as Wan'er mentioned the word "grandfather", Lei Luo suddenly remembered a big event, so he said: "Go back quickly, your mother should be in a hurry." ”
Saying goodbye, Lei Luo hurried back home with three steps and two steps, because today is also the day when Lei Luo followed his mother back to his parents' house.
"Go to your grandfather, find your grandfather, you can find the source of Lei Yuan!" Chopping Yu's words echoed in his ears like thunder, but he didn't expect that so soon, he was going to reveal another secret again.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Lei Luo smiled, and he saw his father, Lei Boss, catching chickens.
Boss Lei didn't tie the rooster last night, and now he's busy chasing the rooster all over the yard. The rooster too, as if he knew that his life was short, jumped up and down desperately, and Boss Lei chased and intercepted him in all directions to no avail, and he was so tired that he was panting. Lei Luo's mother was loading bacon and eggs into the back basket, and when she saw that Boss Lei was chasing a rooster and making it dark, she was a little angry and told Boss Lei to hurry up.
Boss Lei was in a hurry, so he picked up the "grass rake" (a tool used to collect weeds, leaves, etc.) around him (a tool used to collect weeds, leaves, etc.) next to him. One end of the bamboo is cut into more than a dozen thin bamboo strips, roasted, woven and shaped, a bit like the feeling of Zhu Bajie's nail rake. A rake pressed down, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Dead rooster, I don't believe I can't catch you, I have to burn you tonight." ”
Where did the rooster see such a battle, spread his wings and ran desperately, panicked, retreated to the low wall, saw Boss Lei rushing over violently, frightened screaming, spread his wings, jumped desperately, actually flew to the low wall, jumped again, went to the roof. The houses of rural people are mostly tiled houses, and the roofs are black tiles one by one.
Lei Luo's mother had already installed the back basket, and when she saw that Lei Boss hadn't caught the rooster yet, she complained: "Last night, I told you to catch the chicken and tie it up, you have to catch it the next day, now it's okay, you fly to the roof to catch it!" Lao Tzu immediately took a ladder to the room to catch it, and he couldn't delay you going back to your parents' house for lunch. As he spoke, he was going to move the ladder.
Hearing what Boss Lei said, Lei Luo's mother was even more angry: "You are so brainless, you know how to be hard, you don't know how to tease a handful of rice!"
Holding rice in his hand, his mouth kept "clucking" and calling the chickens to eat rice, and the chickens at home quickly surrounded Lei Luo's mother when they heard the call of Lei Luo's mother, and surrounded Lei Luo's mother with their necks high. Lei Luo's mother scattered a few grains of rice, and those guys scrambled to grab food. The rooster on the roof was chased by Father Lei for a while, and he was still a little wary, but he couldn't stand the temptation of the fragrant rice, so he spread his wings and jumped down, burying his head in pecking.
Lei Luo's mother retreated into the house while scattering rice, and those chickens only cared about eating rice, completely lost the ability to think, and followed in. Then, the door was closed, and then there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and after a while, Lei Luo's mother had already grabbed the wings of the chicken and came out.
When Boss Lei saw it, his face couldn't hold back, and he began to be embarrassed. But he still refused to admit defeat: "Oh, the chickens are all fed by you, of course listen to you." Lei Luo's mother didn't care about him, and said coldly: "Which one is the hell with you, Lei Luo, come here, where did you go early in the morning? ”
Lei Luo smiled and said that he went out for a run, hurriedly nibbled on two steamed buns, and then went out with his parents with the basket on his back.
Lei Luo's grandparents live in another county, and there are dozens of miles of mountain roads from Leihuang Village.
Lei Luo's grandmother has five girls, one boy and six children, Lei Luo's mother is the fourth, just arrived at the door, Lei Luo's uncle greeted him, took the chicken in Lei Lao's hand and the back basket on Lei Luo's back, and shouted to Lei Luo's mother: "Fourth sister, why did you just arrive, hurry up and wait for you to open the table." ”
As soon as you enter the door, the lively and busy scene can make people happy and happy in an instant. A few aunts are busy in the kitchen, the aunts and cousins are chopping wood, the cleaning is in full swing, and the grandchildren are listening to the stories around the grandfather......
Lei Luo opened his mouth and began to shout and say hello non-stop, up to his grandmother and grandfather, down to his cousins, cousins, brothers and sisters, and dozens of relatives shouted down, and they were so tired that they gasped. was about to take a sip of tea to slow down, but heard an explosion, and the third aunt, who was washing the dishes, was so frightened that she screamed, and a big bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be the grandson of the aunt, and the eldest nephew of Lei Luo was naughty, and threw a cannon into the big basin for washing the dishes, the basin was blown up into a hole, the water flowed to the ground, and the third aunt's bowl was also broken.
The nephew's father, that is, Lei Luo's eldest cousin, saw this scene, he was angry, and the son was so naughty during the New Year, it was not okay not to clean up, so he chased after him with an axe to chop wood, and he had to beat the kid to death after watching the battle...... After a while, I heard the eldest nephew's cry accompanied by a miserable cry: "Dad, I was wrong, can you spare me, help, Mom, save me......" After a while, the eldest nephew wiped his tears, buried his head and walked in, and said to the third aunt: "Auntie, I was wrong, I'll help you wash the dishes." The third aunt scolded with a smile: "You ghost doll, just don't make a mess, go out to play, go outside." "If the eldest nephew was amnesty, he ran away.
Hip-hop, lively, happy, the whole family had a reunion dinner in this harmonious and beautiful atmosphere. The warm winter sun is sprinkled on the body, and the words of relatives are imprinted in the bottom of my heart, and I can't help but sigh that life is so beautiful. After eating, Lei Luo went to his grandfather's house to find a book to read.
If Yu Lao is the "cultural person" of Leiluo's Leihuang Village, then Leiluo's grandfather is an old scholar in the real sense. Lei Luo's grandfather, like Teacher Xuanqing, once taught in a private school, and later worked as a clerk for a general. The collection of books in his grandfather's house, Rao is Lei Luo has studied with Xuan Qing for so long, and still many Lei Luo have never heard of the name, every time he enters this study and touches these yellowed thread-bound books, Lei Luo feels that he is so small, and his knowledge is really endless.
My grandfather didn't have much savings in his life, and his real wealth was the books in this room. Lei Luo's grandfather loved books very much, and each book was wrapped in brown paper and placed in the study on the second floor. No one is allowed in the study room. A large family, except for Lei Luo and two cousins and a cousin, everyone else has really never been in. When Lei Luo's mother was unmarried, she could still go in under the pretext of cleaning, but after marrying Lei Boss, she never had the opportunity to go in.
Thunderous fingertips slid between the rows of books, these thousands of years of wisdom, but are the crystallization of the painstaking efforts of the ancients, perhaps a book is enough for future generations to study for a lifetime, and the same book, different people have a thousand different understandings. There are too many philosophical ideas and philosophies in the book, which are more than those of the present, and the wisdom of the ancients really cannot be guessed according to common sense.
"I Ching", Lei Luo actually found this book in his grandfather's study. I took it out and read a few pages, but I couldn't figure it out. Don't say I understand, there are too many words that I can't even pronounce, so I shook my head helplessly and put it back. Lei Luo thought that his grandfather's reading of the Book of Changes and Yu Lao's reading of the Book of Changes should be completely different readings, and the broad and profound connotations should be enough for the reader to take one scoop. And the little thing that Lei Luo learned under the lure and persecution of Yu Lao is even more superficial.
The fingertips slid over a book, thin and didn't seem to have many pages, but it had the magic to attract Thunder. Lei Luo didn't see the name of the book, let alone know its contents, and even Lei Luo was sure that he hadn't paid attention to this book at all when he came to the study to read a book a few times, but this time, this book was like magic, and it attracted Lei Luo.
This is an old book bound in this line, and when I open the brown paper on the cover, I find that the book has long been torn: the pages are yellow and brittle, and if you are not careful, many rotten paper scraps will fall; the next dozens of pages are gone, but the cover is well preserved, and it seems that a book has been divided into two halves, and this is half of it. Lei Luo patiently distinguished the words on the book, and found that the book was not rubbing, not engraving, and not code-word printing, but was written word by word with a brush. It's not very neatly written, and the content is varied, but it's like a person's personal diary.
Lei Luo tried to find out if there was any author's name in the book, where to find the slightest bit of information, but there were two small seal script characters in the lower left corner of the cover: Xiya.
