Chapter 21: Encounter
"Shouhe Zhenren, in recent years of famine, we have also tried our best, but unfortunately with little success, they are also hard-working children, if we can, we will try to arrange their whereabouts, so that they do not suffer again. ”
Shouhe nodded and looked at the two children and said, "You wait and tell your friends not to run around on the mountain, we will arrange your food and clothing, is it okay?"
The two children looked at each other as if they were thinking about something. Immediately struggled at the same time: "You let us go first." ”
Shouhe: "Let them go down first, and then let the other disciples stop the others, and count the number of people, prepare food and clothes for them, and if they are willing to stay, they will be arranged to Sanqing Mountain, and if they are not willing to stay, help them find some good people......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic shout not far away: "Who are you? Stop." ”
"Don't run around. ”
"Catch them ......"
Seeing this, Shouhe hurriedly said to his disciples, "You go and tell everyone to stop the children and tell them that they will give them food and clothing." Tell them not to run around, it's not cleaned yet, don't get them hurt. ”
"Yes. The disciple of Baixian Mountain hurriedly responded. As he spoke, his body lit up with a warm white light and flew up.
After a while, the echoing words sounded in the air: "Don't run around catching pheasants, we will prepare food for you......"
Unfortunately, before the words were complete, I heard the sound of laughter. Like a herd of animals rushing into trouble, they all poured into the vicinity of Admiralty Mountain.
Just as all the children poured into the vicinity of Admiralty Hill to create chaos, the two children who had just been arrested also ran out.
Because he was just a child, he was defenseless and unguarded, and Leng watched the child run away without chasing.
Suddenly, a white light lit up, fell in front of Shouhe and said, "Uncle Shi, these children are not here to catch pheasants at all, they are here to pick up magic weapons!"
As soon as these words came out, Shouhe was stunned and looked at the emptiness.
Sora was confused for a moment and shook his head.
At this time, there was chaos in front of Jinzhong Mountain, and the disciples of Baixian Mountain and Puzhao Temple were so busy catching the children.
Shouhe stayed on the side of Admiralty Mountain to preside over the work, while Likong joined the search for the children, hoping to learn more from them.
Because there were so many of them, they had to disperse and put the caught children in a corner, but after a while, more than 100 children were gathered together to guard.
"Big brother, I just found a pit in the northwest direction, and there are a lot of corpses there. "Let go of your divine sense, look far away in all directions, and hear in all directions. I was awakened by this soft word.
"Big brother, it seems that there is still a leader. Then his mind moved, flew forward, landed behind a young man, and chanted: "Amitabha." ”
I saw the young man turn around slowly, and while turning around, he seemed to hide something behind him. The other two children also turned around.
He said, "Little donors, are you here to pick up magic weapons?"
The three did not speak.
"Don't be afraid, the old man just wants to tell the little donor that there are magic weapons everywhere, and there are many evil things, which are easy to be injured, and please ask the three little donors to go back quickly." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go back right away. The shortest child hurriedly pulled the other two to run.
"Wait. Sora stopped them. "You can't take anything with you, it's too dangerous. Or leave it to the old man for safekeeping, and then go there. As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the large group of children had gathered, and continued, "I'll give you some food and clothing." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the shortest child ran away, ignoring the other two.
Seeing him run away, he didn't mean to chase him at all. Just quietly looked at the other two tall young guys.
As if knowing that there was no hope of escaping, one of the young men walked up to Sora, took out a dagger with red light from his arms, and handed it to Sora: "Master, I only picked up this thing. ”
He took the dagger with a smile: "Okay little donor." Then he looked at another young man.
Another young man also took out an object from his arms, "Qingling Nine-Section Whip".
He took the nine-section whip and said with a smile: "Did the little benefactor forget something?"
At this moment, a dark shadow pounced on Sora and hugged Sora tightly.
"Big brother, let's go. Holding the empty child, he turned his head and shouted.
The person who came was the child who ran away just now, and he knew that he didn't run far, but he didn't expect him to pounce, big brother?
I saw two young men suddenly run up and run towards the jungle not far away.
"Isn't the little benefactor ready to let go of the old man?"
"Don't let go, don't let go of death. With the words, the child hugged his empty hands tighter and tighter.
He shook his head with a smile: "That old man can only take you away." ”
As soon as the words fell, a golden light flashed around the air, soared into the air, and flew towards the two young men who had just escaped.
But after a while, they have caught up.
Just when he landed in front of the two young men, he felt light. It turned out that the child who was holding him tightly seemed to give up, and walked behind the young man who was called the eldest brother in a dejected manner. After groping behind the young man, he ran away again.
smiled in the hollow and began to search with his divine sense, this kid has no mana fluctuations on his body, which proves that there is no magic weapon in his body, and the first time he ran away, it should be to turn the tiger away from the mountain. But he found that he didn't chase him, so he came back to stop himself so that he could buy time for the other two to escape. This time, I found that I could still catch up with my companion, so I simply took the last magic weapon on my body and ran away again, which is quite interesting and resilient.
Although he knew that the last magic weapon was taken by the child just now, he still didn't chase after him immediately. When I thought of Xiaoyao Xian's instructions to turn back, could it be related to these children? However, I was approaching the end of the day, and I had no intention of accepting apprentices, so it was better to say something to these children here and tell them not to go down the crooked path, which was also a small merit. "The little benefactor is their big brother?"
"Sort of!" the young man looked helpless.
"Today's event was planned by the little benefactor?" asked Sora unhurriedly.
"I planned it. You let my friends go, and they just want to pick up something valuable, and I'll go with you. The young man replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He recited a Buddha name and said: "I don't mean to arrest the little donors, but I and the senior brother of Baixian Mountain have already explained the situation, and I want to give food and clothes to the little donors." ”
Another guy hurriedly said, "I don't need your help, you just let us go." ”
He said with a smile: "The old man didn't mean to force you to stay, just a good heart. You can also go. ”
The young man, known as Big Brother, asked, "Really?"
"Of course. Sora replied bluntly.
"Then we're leaving. ”
"Wait. ”
"What else?" asked the young man.
"What's the name of the little benefactor?" asked Sora as he continued.
"Why do you ask me by name? What is your name? Don't you want to let us go? When the road is facing the sky, go to the other side, and you don't care who my name is?"
"The little donor misunderstood, the old man's name was empty, and the old man just thought that the little donor was very smart, and he also heard that their eldest brother helped them. So I was curious and wanted to get to know the little donor. Sora explained with a smile.
"Zhang Jianlong. With that, Zhang Jianlong was about to leave.
"The little benefactor is kind-hearted and intelligent, and I hope that he will not go down the evil road in the future. You have to go, the old man doesn't want to force him to stay, but the old man must get back what your friend has taken. As he spoke, a golden light flashed, and the sky disappeared in front of Zhang Jianlong and his companions.
Catching up with the child who had escaped, seeing him panting and looking at him in surprise, he said, "The cultivator's magic weapon is not an extraordinary thing, and it will only be harmful to the little benefactors, and I am afraid that they will hurt themselves. So the old man still needs to be taken back. ”
I saw the child holding on to a big tree, panting, and taking out a jade wrench finger from his arms. "Take it, take it, I don't want it, I'm tired to death. ”
It's so simple? It's not like it's trying to run away just now. But Sora had already used his divine sense to probe it just now. Except for this jade wrench, there is nothing else. Maybe it's really because I know that I can't escape!
"Why did the little donor simply hand over the jade wrench finger to the old man?"
"Wouldn't it be useful not to give it to you? I can't run away, so I might as well give it to you." Still out of breath, the child simply sat down against the tree.
There is no flaw in the words, and it is considered to believe the child. But suddenly a flash of inspiration, this kid has good qualifications, judging from what happened just now, he is also a smart person, could it be that Xiaoyao Xian asked me to turn back to meet him?: "What is the name of the little benefactor?"
"Dogs. The dog seemed to be relieved, and he had a little confidence in speaking.
"Dogs?"
"Yes. Goudan nodded, not nervous at all, as if he said to a friend: "My father died when I was very young, and my mother called me Goudan and said that it was easy to feed by name." It seems that this time there was a great famine, my mother and the whole village starved to death, and I survived. ”
"This time I went into the mountain to pick up magic weapons, and it was all planned by the eldest brother you said just now?"
"It's not all about how many people died in this great famine. Food is not hungry, clothing is not covered, people change children and eat. Stealing chickens and dogs is the norm, and burning, killing and looting is just for a full meal. When you can't get enough to eat, you always have to find a way to get something to eat. Our eldest brother just picked up a magic weapon by chance, bought it for money, and invited us to a meal. But after eating this meal, there is no next meal, and the eldest brother can't always support us, so a few of us instigated the eldest brother to take us to pick up the magic weapon. I was also one of the instigators. Therefore, if the master wants to blame, you can find me, don't go to my eldest brother. Anyway, he gave me a full meal when I was dying of hunger, and now I can pay him back. ”
The little donor was grateful for the picture, and the old man admired it very much. The old man didn't want to blame, he just wanted to get a general idea. The disciples of Baixian Mountain have already prepared clothes and food for the little donors, and the little donors can follow the old man over to have a good meal. ”
"Where's my eldest brother?"
"Gone. ”
"You're gone, you're not embarrassed by them?"
"Nope. Come and go freely. I just hope that the little donor will not come to this dangerous place in the future. ”
"Can I go too?"
He smiled and said, "Of course." But wouldn't the little benefactor go with the old man to get some food?"
"If I don't go, my eldest brother will leave me some food and clothing, and I will find a good family to work in, and I will survive." ”
After hearing this, Likong felt that this person was not confused at all in this troubled world, and he was indeed a good seedling. If it's not yourself...... I'm afraid I really want to take this child as my apprentice. "Little donor, have you heard of Baixian Mountain?"
"Naturally, I heard it. ”
"Is the little donor willing to worship under the gate of Baixian Mountain?"
Goudan laughed: "Master, don't be kidding. That Baixian Mountain is a place where I can enter if I want to worship? I have no father and no mother, to put it bluntly, the way is unknown, so how strict is Baixian Mountain in accepting disciples. ”
Idling around, it does. He took out a thumb-sized brown Buddha bead from his arms, and a red 'swastika' was engraved on the bead, not a flash: "This is the first Buddha bead since I practiced, give it to you!"
Goudan took the Buddha beads and looked at the void suspiciously: "Didn't the master say that we shouldn't touch those magic weapons?"
He said with a smile: "Although this thing is enlightened, it does not have much mana, and the little donor wears it on his body, and it can also help the little donor to keep his mind calm." ”
Dogan carefully put the Buddha beads into his arms. "Thank you, Master. ”
"The little donor really doesn't want to go with the old man?"
"No, I ran for too long just now, and my feet were a little disobedient, so I left by myself after a while, and I won't enter Admiralty Mountain again. ”
"Otherwise, the old man will give you a ride!"
"No need. I'm familiar with this place, and I can go back myself. ”
"Then the old man goes first. Knowing that the dog was unwilling to follow, he took off into the air and flew away. It's just that I can't help but be a little worried in my heart, and I stopped and observed for a long time not far away, but I saw that after resting for a long time, I walked not far away and picked up something. Immediately after the empty air searched, no anomalies were found. It wasn't until the dog slowly left Admiralty Mountain and walked into the nearest town here that he left with confidence.
