Chapter 6: The Strange Man of the Mountains
Lao Xie walked cautiously all the way, and the group of people in front of him had already run away, and seeing that the heavy rain was about to come down, he suddenly regretted that he had hurriedly stuffed the silver into his arms. If the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info put it in a bag, it is estimated that he should be at the bottom of the mountain at this time.
Suddenly, Lao Xie turned his head and saw that under a red date tree on the side of the mountain, there was a man in gray standing alone, standing still, as if he was preparing to take shelter from the rain there.
Lao Xie recognized this day, and suddenly his heart was hot, and he called, "Little brother, you can't avoid the rain here, this cloud and black wind are showers at a glance, you hurry up the mountain and walk two more steps, there is a broken temple there, you can avoid it for the time being." ”
The man didn't hear it, he didn't turn his head to look at Lao Xie, and began to lift his legs and walk towards the place Lao Xie pointed out, his movements were not in a hurry, and he suddenly stopped, turned his head and nodded lightly at Lao Xu, as if to express his gratitude.
Lao Xie wondered in his heart, thinking that this person was really strange, and he was about to go down the mountain by himself, but he saw that the person suddenly raised his hand suddenly, revealing a strange and terrifying face, which frightened Lao Xie's face pale, and he took a few steps backwards.
I saw the person in front of me, his eyes were hollow and white, his face was swollen and ugly, and his body was lifeless, like a walking corpse that had been soaked in water for several days!
Lao Xie opened his mouth slightly in surprise, he had lived to the age of gray, and he had never seen a strange person with such a look.
Then the strange man showed a ghostly smile on his face, which made Lao Xie feel a chill down his spine.
But the strange man quickly turned his head and walked towards the little ruined temple that Lao Xie was pointing to.
And at this moment, the heavy rain came, and it was pouring rain, Lao Xie looked at the figure in the distance, and suddenly realized that although this person walked in the heavy rain, he was dry and did not touch the slightest rain and dew, and then he was sure of his mind, and suddenly saw that the clothes on his back were high and low, like a dragon and snake, but where the rain dripped without a trace.
Lao Xie in the rain was dumbfounded, and was shaken by the cold, and suddenly woke up, raised his legs and ran down the mountain.
At the same time, at the foot of these two gorges, a person was running towards the mountain, and he was on the same road as Lao Xie, and the two soon collided.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still running up the hill, you kid?"
This person who went up the mountain was Rong Tieyi.
At this time, he was carrying a small cloth bag and running wildly in the rain, and bumped into Lao Xie head-on, and he was also suspicious, "Eh, Lao Xie, didn't you just be caught by your mother-in-law? Why did you run up the mountain again?"
If you want to talk about the age of this Lao Xie and Rong Tieyi, it is two generations apart, but Rong Tieyi still calls him Lao Xie.
Lao Xie and Rong Tieyi know each other, because Rong Tieyi often sends sauce ducks to the village, this Lao Xie loves to eat ducks, but the silver in this bag is not enough to eat every day, so he wants to ask for some ducks from Rong Tieyi's hands.
This has come and gone, and the two have become familiar with each other a lot.
Lao Xie waved his hand, and when he thought of the extremely strange strange man before, he felt that his scalp was numb, and he hurriedly pulled Rong Tieyi and was about to run down the mountain.
"If you still want to live, follow me back!"
Lao Xie looked a little lost, but unexpectedly, Rong Tieyi shook off Lao Xie's old hand, "What the hell?"
Old Xie Leng stayed where he was, and then said bitterly, "How do I know what the hell is going on! Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes! You go quickly, what are you going up the mountain to do in such a heavy rain!"
Rong Tieyi was skeptical, but when he saw the expression on this old Xie's face, he didn't feel like he was lying.
This heavy rain always comes and goes quickly, and suddenly the rain has decreased by half, but Rong Tieyi and the two of them are already soaked, and they look very embarrassed.
Rong Tieyi said lightly, "Old Xie, you go first, I'll go up and have a look." ”
After that, Rong Tieyi turned around and left, ignoring Lao Xie's advice.
Lao Xie stayed in place for a while, then sighed, and looked at the halfway point of the two gorges of the mountain, only hoping that the person just looked strange, and he must not really be the ghost in the mountains, otherwise he had just met the fairy and turned his luck, and this would be another big bad luck.
Rong Tieyi trotted all the way up the mountain, and at this time, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the raindrops were dripping, but his clothes were already soaked, and there were bursts of cold.
Rong Tieyi was very suspicious of what Lao Xie said before, after all, this Lao Xie went up the mountain to chop firewood for a living, and always liked to brag to others about some strange things he made up after coming down the mountain.
What old tree demon attacked people, what red widow came down the mountain, how many times have Rong Tieyi, who doesn't often come to the village, heard it.
As early as seven days ago, it was also raining heavily, Rong Tieyi hid alone in a pavilion at the foot of the mountain to avoid the rain, and suddenly saw an old Taoist priest going up the mountain, walking in the rain but not dripping water, light footsteps as if stepping on the wind.
Rong Tieyi was surprised in his heart, and he could see at a glance that this person was definitely a peerless master who had stepped into the Great Dao of Immortality.
After the death of his master Li Chang'an, Rong Tieyi's life became bleak, he didn't know where to go, and his master's only wish could not be fulfilled by himself, and the only purpose of staying in Liulizhou was to inquire about his master's expulsion from the school twenty years ago.
However, like the disciples guarding the mountain outside the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, no one had ever heard the name Li Changan, let alone knew what happened twenty years ago.
Rong Tieyi was on a whim, and followed the old Taoist priest up the mountain in the rain, running wildly all the way, but he felt that the distance between the two was always getting farther and farther.
The more this happened, the tighter Rong Tieyi chased after him, and finally saw the Taoist priest in the small ruined temple halfway up the mountainside.
And that Taoist priest is also strange, it seems that he is deliberately waiting for Rong Tieyi.
The two met but were not strangers, Rong Tieyi felt that this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, and the Taoist priest opened his mouth to Rong Tieyi was a long conversation that lasted for at least an hour, at first Rong Tieyi didn't understand, but felt that this old Taoist priest was really not an ordinary person, and the things he said were some mysterious and mysterious, and ordinary people couldn't understand things at all, of course, Rong Tieyi himself couldn't understand it, but he vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to some of the words that his master had been talking about before.
Rong Tieyi had a lot of questions at first, but they were all interrupted by his tirade, and then gave up, and simply listened to the old Taoist priest set up the heavenly spectrum, from what ancient flood and famine, Taoism began to talk about the Xinyan Dynasty in the Central Plains and then to the three major dynasties in the world, I thought that the old Taoist priest should finish talking in a few days, but I didn't expect to start talking about the strange things in the world.
It is completely different from the attitude that Lao Xie saw today, always nodding and shaking his head.
After a few days, Rong Tieyi felt that he had benefited a lot, although he didn't know where the benefits were, but he always wanted to be able to listen to the strange things that the old Taoist priest had said.
On the mountain today, Rong Tieyi wanted to ask the all-knowing old Taoist priest for a solution.
But I don't know if it's because of the rain or why, I only feel dull, depressed, and uneasy in my heart along the way.
I don't know where that guy is running to hide from the rain at this time, or he didn't think about helping him send it at all, most of the time this trip is going to be late again, the sauce duck shop in Huayang City is Lao Xu's big customer, two hundred killed ducks a day are almost never broken, these two trips are sent late, and I don't know how Lao Xu will scold himself.
Thinking so uncertainly, in the blink of an eye, he was already outside the ruined temple.
Rong Tieyi touched a small cloth bag hidden in his arms, stepped into the waist-deep weeds, and walked into the ruined temple.
