Chapter 16 Pursuit
Bai Qian naturally does not fly to the sky, what Chu Jiangqiu sees now is a strange phenomenon called "mirage", which is a virtual image formed by the refraction and reflection of light, which usually occasionally appears on the sea, lake, snowfield, desert or Gobi and other places. Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty once recorded in his "Mengxi Writings" what he saw in Gu Dengzhou: "In the sea of Dengzhou, there are clouds from time to time, such as palaces, Taiwan views, city walls, people, chariots and horses, crowns, and calendars, which are called 'sea markets'." Or it is said that 'the mirage is done', and it is doubtful otherwise. "Ouyang Xiu once sent an envoy to Heshuo to pass through Gaotang County, and there were ghosts and gods in the night in the post house, and the voices of cars, horses, people and animals could be distinguished one by one. The above two are called "mirages", which are roughly similar to "mirages", which shows that "mirages" have existed in ancient times, and they are not unique here.
Of course, Chu Jiangqiu couldn't understand this truth, but he missed the white girl too much, or the illusion caused by the residual poison in his body. But the "she" in front of him was so realistic, and even the confused look on his face could be seen clearly, which made Chu Jiangqiu can't help but run towards "her" to find out.
has been running more than ten miles away, the illusion appears and disappears, sometimes three or five people, sometimes only one or two people left, and even the sound of Ding Dang when the weapons collide is occasionally heard. Chu Jiangqiu was inexplicably surprised, and when the sun set a little more, these strange illusions never appeared again, it turned out that it was really just an illusion.
Chu Jiangqiu stood still, sighed blankly, and was not knowing where to go, when a gust of wind blew, and the sound of several shouts and things colliding reached his ears. He was startled, taking advantage of the last bit of sunset, he looked in the direction where the wind was blowing, and sure enough, he saw a few figures in the distance, jumping up and down, fighting fiercely, it seemed to be Bai Qian and others.
Chu Jiangqiu was overjoyed and shouted, "White girl! I am here! "The body is as swift as the wind, and it runs away. This time, no matter what, whether it was a human, a snake or something else, no matter what it was, he wouldn't let this girl leave his side half a step again!
When I got closer, I felt that the scene in front of me was familiar. I saw Qiao Xihai clasping Bai Qian's hands with one palm, and only one palm was left to fight with Jin Laotong, and there were three people jumping around beside him, making noise, naturally it was Ou Zhuzi, Feng Lanzi, Luo Meizi and other three. Jin Laotong has a hundred calamities in his hands, and he is really very jealous of Qiao Xihai in his heart, plus there are three other people on the side, although their martial arts are low, they may not be able to catch one move in ten moves, but the shouts are endless, as long as he sees a little gap, he shouts, and hands the weapon in his hand, which makes Jin Laotong's brain buzz, so although Qiao Xihai only has one palm, he still fights with him.
That Qiao Xihai's martial arts are not under Jin Laotong, and there are three disciples and grandchildren to help him, if he lets go of Bai Qian and fights him with both hands, I am afraid that he will already win. But I don't know why, I was in danger several times, and I was still reluctant to let go. His hands are much larger than ordinary people, and he wraps Bai Qian's two slender hands in them, which is not only enough, but also seems to have more than enough. Bai Qian was pulled by him, she couldn't help it, she was miserable, and she scolded "old immortal, ugly and weird" a thousand times in her heart. I hate him for some reason, I always love to pull my hand, and I won't let go as soon as I pull it up, thinking that if I have been pulled by him like this for the rest of my life, it would be better to die now.
Chu Jiangqiu felt a little embarrassed when he saw the neatly dressed Bai Qian, and he remembered the not so neatly dressed Bai Qian he saw not long ago, and he was very impressed, and he couldn't forget it. Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and others couldn't tell whether his face was red or white.
Luo Meizi saw him from a distance and shouted: "It's not good, the white-faced boy is here to rob his daughter-in-law, the master is not as handsome as him, and the female doll is afraid to run!" Even if it is a hard marriage, the bride's half-heartedness is not a long-term plan! ”
He talked nonsense, and others just paid it back, but Qiao Xihai was very angry when he saw him recklessly tell his hidden things. These few words, every sentence spoke to his heart, and suddenly his face was blue and white for a while, he snorted, slanted his shoulders and raised his arms, and his left hand used two moves in succession, "Repair Salamander Tulang" and "Long Whale Swallowing", which was flickering and smart, forcing Jin Laotong to take two steps back, and scolded: "Stupid, haven't we fought enough in the past ten years?" Why do you keep pestering me! ”
Jin Laotong seemed to be stopped by his words, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know why, is it because you owe me a lot of money?" Otherwise, why am I angry when I see you? ”
Qiao Xihai took advantage of the moment when he spoke, and said: "Less accompaniment!" Pulling Bai Qian back sharply, she was already a few feet away in an instant. He hated Jin Laotong and hated Chu Jiangqiu even more, but he knew very well in his heart that Chu Jiangqiu's martial arts were inferior to him, and Jin Laotong was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, but once the two joined forces, they were not their opponents, and the three of Zhulanmei were even more useless. What he is worried about at the moment is not that he will be embarrassed if he loses, but as Luo Meizi said, "Uncle Shi is not as handsome as he is, and the bride is afraid that she will run!" Even if you marry into the door, it is inevitable that you will not be half-hearted." Every time Bai Qian glanced at Chu Jiangqiu and called him more, she was ashamed of herself, and her current plan could only be avoided for a while, and in the future, she was afraid that she would not be able to clean up a future child?
Chu Jiangqiu was willing to give up, and followed closely and chased after him. Ou Zhuzi and Luo Meizi tried to stop him, and as soon as they raised the dry tobacco pouch and the Yanling knife, he flashed past them like the wind. Luo Meizi scratched her head and said, "The kid is running fast, he must be thinking about women!" Ou Zhuzi was full of plans for the two of them to work together, and he would definitely stop him, but he didn't expect it to be the same thing at all, he was extremely embarrassed, and turned his head and scolded: "What are you talking about, don't chase it quickly!" ”
The five of them followed one after the other, and they all worked together to chase after Qiao Xihai. This shot is full of pursuit, and the light work has been distinguished. Chu Jiangqiu was the first to launch, and he originally threw the others out of a big way, but he was caught up by Jin Laotong in an instant. The old man, despite his age, still had fluttering sleeves and dusty feet, and seemed to be effortless, and said to him, "Hey, boy, this old monster in the West Sea is much faster than you." Look at you, your face is red, your ears are red, your breath is like a cow, you blindly sink your true qi, and only exert force under your feet. Like you, when you catch up with the old monster, I'm afraid that he and your little daughter-in-law have passed the room, and you just wait for a drink of the happy bar! Between the words, it is indeed getting bigger and bigger with Qiao Xihai, whether he is in a hurry to go to the cave room is unknown, but it is the truth that it is difficult to catch up.
Chu Jiangqiu listened to him tell the story, just like he spoke every day, he was startled at first, and thought: "I have done my best now, don't say to speak, even if you take the wrong breath, how can you say it if you want to say it like him?" The old monster's martial arts are similar to him, first the green snake fire toad, and now the widower courting marriage, is it true that he and Miss Bai are inseparable, after all, it is just a dream? Thinking of this, I felt sad and disappointed in my heart, and felt that even if I tried my best, I would always be unable to defeat the tricks of fate. The mood fluctuated slightly, and he almost took the wrong breath, and his pace became even slower.
Jin Laotong saw it, laughed, and said: "When the child is yang, the ugly is the rooster crows, the Yin is not light, the sun is shining, and the sun is setting, and the sun is dusk and people are fixed." The spirit of man's inner breath can be opposed to the five directions and five times of heaven and earth. Now when the vitality of Nahua is clear, you should store the true qi in the Zushao Yin and Kidney Meridians, and store the strength in the Mian Jin, only use the Void Spirit to resist the strength, breathe back and forth, not as forbidden by the law, pass through the air pockets, turn to the Yin Valley, and store the spiritual ruins, and spread the essence of maintenance to the Zushaoyang and Zushao Yin meridians, and naturally have the ability to retreat like a god. ”
When Chu Jiangqiu heard him say it, he was a little disapproving, and said in his heart: "The old monsters are almost gone, you only told me now to keep your essence and recuperate, isn't it too late?" Could it be that if I meditate and pranayama now, I will be able to catch up with him? Now there is no other good way, just give it a try. ”
But strange to say, he used the method taught by Jin Laotong to adjust the internal breath, and carried Zhou Tian, and immediately felt that the wind was under his feet, his body was as light as a leaf, and his steps were much faster unconsciously. And Qiao Xihai had one more person in his hands, and Bai Qian refused to follow him obediently, either pulling his beard, or kicking him with flying legs, which made him extremely uncomfortable. The two groups of people gradually got closer and closer, only a few feet away.
Suddenly, Qiao Xihai sighed, stopped, threw Bai Qian behind him, and let her go like this. Bai Qian was thrown in the air, fluttering, and before she could come back to her senses, Chu Jiangqiu, who was following closely, took a step forward and caught her. Although the two have only been separated for a few days, the twists and turns are indescribable, so when the four hands can finally be held together, the two are like goodbyes in the next life, they are all surprises, obviously have a belly, but they can't even say a word.
Jin Laotong was behind them, laughing, laughing twice, two old tears rolled down his cheeks unconsciously, and there was a sour feeling in his heart, as for why this happened, even he himself didn't know.
Ou Zhuzi and the other three finally caught up breathlessly, and Luo Meizi said, "Huh, strange? Why did Uncle Shi throw the bride back? ”
Feng Lanzi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, it must be so!" ”
Ou Zhuzi and Luo Meizi asked in unison, "What must be the case?" ”
Feng Lanzi said: "It must be the little lady surnamed Bai who is young and young, and her face is still sunny, while she is drooping and old, like dead wood, and it is unworthy to stand together." On the day of the great day in the future, there was another difficulty, and the guests talked about how the old cow ate the tender grass, and there was a lot of it, and these gossips reached his ears, and the face of the host must not look good. So just be a favor and give her to the white-faced boy, and when they have a white-faced boy, they can also earn a cheap godfather! ”
Luo Meizi shook his head and said, "Even if there is a white-faced little boy, they may not be willing to recognize the master as a godfather." Hey, I said, if you give birth to a boy girl in the future, will you let Uncle Shi be his godfather? ”
Chu Bai's faces turned red, Chu Jiangqiu was just right, Bai Qian listened to what they said "I will have a child in the future", she was shy and embarrassed, but also a little happy, her expression was timid, and she was uneasy, where could she still speak?
Jin Laotong snorted and said coldly: "Do you have any kind intentions when you are an old monster?" He can't protect himself now, where can he care about being a godfather? ”
Ou Zhuzi heard him say that "it is difficult to protect himself", he knew that something was wrong, ignored the nonsense of the two brothers, and looked up. At first glance, he was shocked, and said secretly: "What are these things?" ”
