Chapter 4 Warding Off Evil Spirits
Another hand was gently placed on top of her head, warm, and the little mallet couldn't help but look up into a pair of kind smiling eyes.
It was the old man standing on the gourd, his hair, eyebrows and beard were all gray, smiling slightly, and he looked very kind. The little mallet couldn't help but think of the master, and his heart was hot, and he leaned towards him.
"Don't you cry, do you?" the old man looked down at her with a smile, "where is your family?
The little mallet was smutling for a long time, and she really couldn't cry, she was pretending.
"IāI live in the mountains...... ...... with Master Master left suddenly, and told me to go to the senior brother, and I, too, left......"
She deliberately said it out of her mind.
Zhen Yunzi looked a little surprised: "Master, you live in Qingqiu? You are so young, you can resist my Tianyin Yanling, is your master a master who is not born in the world, what is the name of the teacher?"
The little mallet ignored him, bowed his head and pretended not to hear.
"I didn't think that there would be mortals living in Qingqiu......" The old man standing on the gourd was also a little surprised, the demons here are entrenched, and the nine-tailed fox demon clan is hidden in the mountain, not to mention that the mountain is extremely steep, and mortals can't climb it with their bare hands. He carefully looked at the dirty little boy in front of him, his breath was pure, he was indeed a mortal, how could mortals live in this treacherous mountain full of monsters and beasts?
"Where is your master?" he asked kindly.
These things were too troublesome to explain, and the little mallet silently handed him the letter left by the master in the baggage.
The old man read the letter carefully, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and handed the letter to Long Jing Yuanjun on the side, after everyone finished reading it, he was speechless for a while, Long Jing Yuanjun smiled and said: "Dongyang Zhenren, this child is looking for Wuyue Ting, presumably her master is a disciple of a certain master of your sect?"
The old man also smiled: "There is such a coincidence in the world, little girl, what is your master's name?"
The little mallet shook her head, she didn't know what the name of the master was, the master was the master.
"Then what's your brother's name?"
She didn't know about this anymore, in fact, she just knew that she had a big brother.
Seeing that she didn't know anything and had nothing to say, Long Jing Yuanjun tied her unkempt hair for her, and chuckled: "Your master is too unpresentable, a little girl is like a boy." Okay, now that I'm not crying, I can tell me where that youkai went, right?"
The little mallet casually pointed into the woods, and lied innocently: "It flew that way." ā
Everyone changed color slightly, and after a while, Zhen Yunzi still sighed angrily: "Qingqiu is his lair, fleeing into the depths of the mountains and forests, and it is only useless to chase him down, but unfortunately after several months of work turned into flowing water, he still let him escape." ā
Most of the reason why the fox demon fled was this little girl, he looked at the little mallet coldly, and he was quite disgusted: "Since you have learned magic from your master, and you can walk down the mountain at night alone, why do you have to make a fuss when you see the fox demon?"
The little mallet continued to turn his head and pretended not to hear, Dongyang Zhenren smiled: "The so-called magic is just some side ways that have been circulated overseas, and the vulgar folk use it for removal, and if you really want to use it against the nine-tailed fox demon, I am afraid that it will have no effect." I guess this little girl's master will only have some sporadic magic, even if she subdues demons, she should receive some little monsters who can't speak, she has never seen a powerful demon, and it is normal for people to be afraid. ā
As he spoke, he touched the head of the little mallet again: "But you are really bold, you go down the mountain alone in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of wild beasts?"
"I've never seen a beast in the mountains. She was telling the truth, such a big mountain, of course, it is impossible for there to be no beasts and monsters in it, but she has gone up and down countless times, and she has never encountered it, can it be said that she is very lucky?
Walking to the boulder, she picked up the arm-thick hemp rope and shook the copper bell on it, and the jingling sound suddenly sounded.
Everyone saw that the hemp rope was tied to the stone at one end, and fell into the abyss at the other, the abyss was bottomless, and they couldn't help but be afraid at a glance, but her little girl planned to slide down the cliff along the rope, and this courage alone was enough to make the adults admire.
"The fox demon is gone, how about it?Do you want to continue chasing again?" Zhen Yunzi didn't want to waste time here, so he asked directly.
Mr. Zhou, who had not spoken for a while, finally spoke up, he looked about fifty years old, dressed in a gray robe, his face was extremely mediocre, and his voice was difficult and ugly: "I have been chasing this demon for several months, although I have not been able to get rid of it, but it should also hurt most of his vitality, he will not be born again in ten years, and there is no need to chase it this time." ā
Zhen Yunzi sighed: "Okay, Dongyang Zhenren, Mr. Zhou, Long Jing Yuanjun, I have been traveling with you for several months, and I have benefited a lot. It's a great pity that I couldn't subdue the fox demon today, and I don't plan to chase it anymore, so I took the first step and took my leave. ā
This person spoke and did not drag his feet, he walked away, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a sword shot out, and in the blink of an eye, the sword flew so that he could no longer see it.
The people on the cliff were speechless, chasing and killing the fox demon for months, and they were about to succeed, but who knew that it would end up like this. Long Jing Yuanjun also sighed: "...... In that case, I also take my leave. ā
She couldn't help but smile when she saw the little mallet looking at her in a daze, her smile was very graceful, and compared with her sharp gaze, she didn't seem to be a person: "Little girl, if you want to go to the Wuyue Court, just find the old man next to you." ā
After speaking, her body suddenly flashed with brilliance, and she didn't know when she was draped in a colorful silk shawl, and the halo on it flowed, like a treasure like jade, she fell off the cliff lightly, and the shawl was like a pair of wings supporting her, and she flew away in the blink of an eye.
Mr. Zhou arched his hand towards Dongyang Zhenren, without saying a word, and disappeared with a flicker.
There are only two people left on the cliff now, she and Dongyang Zhenren, this old man has long sleeves fluttering, and he is still standing on the gourd, looking at her with a smile, and he doesn't speak. When Xiao Bang mallet saw him, he remembered his master, and he helped him before, and among these people, she felt the most kind to him.
What should I do? He seems to be a member of the Wuyue Court, why don't you ask him to take him to the senior brother? He looks very kind, smiling, he should be very talkative, right? What kind of children adults like, she knows very well.
The little mallet cleared his throat and called affectionately: "Old man, can you take me to the Wuyue Court?"
Dongyang Zhenren smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head: "You try to catch up with me." ā
His form flickered suddenly, turned into a clear breeze, and disappeared before her eyes in the blink of an eye.
She looked around, the cliff was rocky, the moonlight was cold, and there was no half-human figure, and she was the only one whose shadow was pulled by the bleak moonlight.
Suddenly a figure flashed on the edge of the cliff, it was the white robe of Dongyang Zhenren, the little stick mallet woke up when he boarded, hurriedly wrapped the hemp rope around his wrists, jumped off the cliff, and climbed up like a monkey.
From the top of the cliff to the bottom of the cliff, it takes less than an hour to walk briskly along the narrow path in the middle of the cliff, and in a moment you are into the forest. The night wind was whistling, and it was dark all around, she stretched her neck and looked around, and suddenly saw a figure flashing not far ahead, her eyes were sharp, and she recognized it as Dongyang Zhenren at once.
"Old man!" she cried, but as if he hadn't heard, he stepped on the gourd, three feet off the ground, and floated forward slowly.
The little stick mallet chased after her, ignoring the rugged mountain road, stumbling all the way, running for three or four miles, but the figure was never far or close, no matter how desperately she chased after her, she couldn't get close. She was panting so much that she couldn't run, so she held on to the tree and gasped for breath.
As if he found that she was too tired to run, the floating figure stopped, still not far away, the gourd swayed up and down, and the white-haired old fairy on it smiled, was this a test for her?
She was so tired that she vomited blood, and she was afraid that he would run away, so she stared at the white figure. With white hair, white beard, and fluttering sleeves, she thought of her master, remembered his farewell without saying goodbye, and remembered that he left a letter to herself, asking her to find her senior brother.
As soon as she gritted her teeth, she didn't know where to give birth to a fierce force, and she pulled her legs and began to chase again, and the old immortal on the gourd also began to float forward slowly, repeating the terrifying nightmare that she couldn't catch up no matter how much she couldn't catch up.
I don't know how long I ran, the east has begun to glow with a light blue light, the little mallet suddenly tripped over something under her feet, and even crawled and fell far away, her head hit the stone hard, she only felt a "buzz" sound in her head, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.
Dongyang Zhenren, who was not far away, couldn't help but stop, she chased him for five or six miles, but she was still a child with perseverance, but it was a pity.
Just now, when he touched his head to speak, he quietly released his spiritual power to test her eight veins of the Qi Sutra, her qualifications are not bad, but they are not very good, they can only be regarded as the quality of the middle stream, if you really want to take it back as a disciple, it is about the limit to cultivate to two hundred years.
There is never a shortage of disciples in this kind of Wuyue Court, their major immortal schools, now they only lack Tianzong wizards, after all, the "seafall" is coming, and they are prepared.
The ancients always said that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and these immortals who have attained the avenue understand best that these four words are just the self-comfort of mortals, and their qualifications are not good, even if they pay tens of millions of times more effort and sweat, the achievements obtained cannot be proportional to the huge effort. Only the best qualifications, coupled with extreme dedication, and even luck, can achieve positive results.
This kid really hasn't learned any magic at all, he has no foundation, and his physical strength is average, if he can chase more than ten miles, it's good, so high or low, there is no possibility of reaching the realm of positive fruit, it's a pity.
Dongyang Zhenren sighed softly, okay, he can't take her to Wuyue Court, but it's okay to send her to the town as a favor, and then find that senior brother for her in the faction.
Sorry, little girl.
He turned around and was about to float over to pick her up, suddenly felt the wind howling in the forest, the birds flew away, he couldn't help but be slightly startled in his heart, looking up at the sky, it was the junction of Yin and Mao, the time of yin and yang chaos, at this time the demons were infested, and the night beasts returned to the forest, which was the most dangerous moment in the forest.
The little girl sleeps in the forest defenselessly, which is very dangerous.
Dongyang Zhenren flew back, only to see the little stick mallet sleeping under a tree, he couldn't help but softly "Huh", the monster miasma in the forest seemed to touch the wall a few feet around her, and they avoided it, and even more, countless insects and ants on her side slowly avoided it, she slept in the damp and dirty mud, and there was not a single insect crawling on her body.
Did she carry any treasures to ward off evil spirits? No, no, there were many spiritual treasures on her, but he couldn't feel them at all, and they were definitely not treasures. That's what kind of constitution is it? What kind of constitution is this? This child seems to be an orphan? Could it be a family heirloom peculiar constitution?
He remembered that he was on the cliff just now, and she said that she lived on the mountain but had never encountered a wild beast, which was impossible, but now that he saw this scene, he actually believed it, is this a physique to ward off evil spirits and defilement?
Dongyang Zhenren fell into a deep groan, if so, then even if her qualifications were not very good, she could barely make an exception once.
