Chapter Twenty-Seven, Three Dogs
Kiyoi (Amaterasu) had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the sound of a flute. I haven't heard this flute for many days, this flute is a new song that I haven't heard, this song makes people see a picture, the autumn wind blows, the red leaves are full of mountains, the sky is high and refreshing, the geese fly south, and then the earth is depressed, the fallen leaves are everywhere Qingwei feels deeply touched in his heart, this song, can cause his own resonance.
The person who listened to the flute was not far behind, why didn't he go to look for it, so he turned around and walked along the mountain road of chopping wood, walked for a mile, and listened to the sound of the flute still in front, is it really as others said, there is no trace to be found, floating, regardless of it, I don't believe that I can't find it and continue to walk forward for half a mile, and suddenly I feel that there are three dogs behind me, secretly following behind, in fact, it is a wolf, Qingwei has only seen a dog, but has never seen a wolf, so he recognized it as a dog.
Qingwei was in the mood to take care of the "dog" and speed up his pace, so that the wolf thought that Qingwei was going to escape, so he also accelerated his pace and chased after him, how could the food in his mouth be let go. Qingwei felt that something was wrong, how could this "dog" have a fierce and bloodthirsty taste, his eyes flashed with a green and faint light, seeing Qingwei stop, he also stopped not far from Qingwei, Qingwei was also a little afraid, and quickly took off the sword from his waist, a sword in his hand, and became bold.
The wolf may be very hungry, or it may be that he wants to attack it unprepared, in short, he is impatient to wait, he rushes over like an arrow from the string, his legs stand up, and he bites Qingwei's throat, and he wants to be bitten where his life is, completely out of instinct, and kicks out with his right foot, and kicks out with all his strength, kicking the "dog" off the cliff on the right, and at night I can't see how high the cliff is, only to hear the "dog" falling down and making a miserable howl, and the terrible sound spreads far and wide in the silent night.
The other "dog" was not idle, and then pounced with its long fangs exposed, the sword in Qingwei's hand flashed with cold light, and slashed at its abdomen, only to see the "dog" blood falling backwards to the ground, screaming, too badly injured, crawling a few times, but not getting up. The remaining one was the largest one, did not pounce, stretched its neck long in place, and raised its head to the sky with a long roar, "Woo"
The roar was breathtaking, echoing through the mountains.
Qingwei thought that he was afraid, and he wanted to rely on the sound to strengthen his courage, but it didn't feel right, in the surrounding dense forest, the surrounding mountains came from the same echo, not good, it may be that he was greeting his companions, and it was important to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, just a few steps, there were dozens of "dogs" blocking the way before and after, and they were still surrounding, too much, this is miserable!
At this time, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, the light was dimmed, the vision was not good, and the battle was not good. Qingwei didn't dare to move, the wolf "dog" didn't move, the flute didn't know when it stopped, the "dog" that joined was faintly more and more, I'm afraid there were hundreds, Qingwei thought left and right, how to break through, the right side is a cliff, there is the "dog" that just fell as a reference, the estimate is very high, the left side looks like a slope, but the bushes are overgrown with thorns, and they must not be able to run those fierce "wild dogs", they may be torn apart by the dense "dogs" after running a few steps, and they don't even have bones.
Before Qingwei could figure out his thoughts, the big "dog" barked a few times, which should be a signal to urge the attack, and immediately a few swooped over, and the sword light in Qingwei's hand flashed, and all the "dogs" who attacked were injured, and even the head was cut off by Qingwei, blood splattered, and the rest retreated in fright.
The "dog" in front of him barked a few times, like their leader, arranging a task and readjusting the attack.
I regret it very much, I should have killed it first, and gave him a chance to call it something! This is a moment of carelessness that can't even save his life.
When Qingwei still regretted self-pity, the wolves attacked at the same time, the head and tail were difficult to care, when Qingwei swung the sword to attack the front, the wolves in front retreated, and several wolves rushed behind as fast as lightning, Qingwei hurriedly turned around and swung his sword to cut, the sword was bitten by a wolf, and he did not let go, and the other bit the hand holding the sword, Qingwei had to drop the sword, took a few steps back, and his chest was also scratched by a wolf, and his clothes were torn, fortunately there was a book sent by his father to block it, or it would bleed, and as soon as the clothes were torn, the book fell, and at night it suddenly emitted a golden light, stronger than the moonlight, in the face of the sudden light, the attacking wolves were frightened and fled far away。
The wolf was already afraid of fire, suspicious by nature, and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.
Qingwei's short sword fell in the grass, there was no trace, there was no sword, and then I don't know how to deal with it, what if these "dogs" attack again?
Rather jump off a cliff than feed the "dogs", he has already made his decision!
After waiting for a while, there was no danger, the wolf leader shouted a few times, urging the wolves to attack before and after, but the wolves were afraid of the golden objects and were unwilling to move forward, the wolf leader personally led the team, dozens of wolves pounced viciously, and saw that the wolf leader moved, and the large and small wolves moved, surging like a tide, Qingwei knew that he could not beat these dogs with sharp teeth and claws with his bare hands no matter what, and his life was explained here.
When Qingwei was in a desperate situation, he only heard a loud roar: "Bah"
Like a thunderbolt that blew up Qingwei's scalp, the wolves were also frightened and trembling, cowering, and the wolf's head turned around and fled.
I saw an old man with a long beard and gray-white hair pulled up high from behind the wolves and flew in front of Qingwei.
The old Taoist priest said gently: "Little friend, I am shocking you. ”
Qingwei felt bizarre, and his frightened expression eased slightly: "No, thank you, old man!"
The wolf leader took the wolves and turned around and fled for more than a dozen steps, seeing that there was only an old man, he was angry in his heart, so he echoed and howled again to urge the wolves to counterattack back, the old Taoist priest was not panicked, raised his palms, and said: "Evil animal, look for death." “
The palms were casually pushed out, and a strong wind swept away, only to see that the wolves fell to the ground in an instant, and a few were pushed down to the bottom of the cliff, screaming again and again, so frightened that the wolf's head turned around and ran again, not daring to delay for a minute, and the wolves walked cleanly.
What kind of kung fu this is, it's amazing.
Qingwei clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Thank you, grandpa, for helping me drive away those dogs." ”
The old Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, and said, "Haha... Boy, it's called a wolf, not a dog. The old Taoist priest stopped laughing and said, "You are a child, you actually go out alone at night, it's so dangerous! What kind of place are you from, coming to this barren mountain and wilderness?"
Qing Wei didn't look like a bad person, and said honestly: "I'm a person who studied art in Nantianyue, and I was about to leave here, but I didn't expect to meet this group of wolves." ”
"Nantianyue is a good place, why do you want to leave, why bother to leave in the middle of the night?" The old Taoist priest was even more puzzled, and there was a deep confusion in his eyes.
Qingwei told the old Taoist priest the truth about the matter, but he just concealed his life experience.
The old Taoist priest said to him: "There is no complete fairness in the world, no matter where you go, you will encounter unfair things, it is impossible to hide when you encounter humiliation, people should face it calmly, you are so young, you should learn more things in Nantianyue, Nantianyue is a rare place in the world to cultivate both civil and military." ”
Qingwei shook his head and said "I still don't want to go back." ”
The old Taoist priest smiled and asked, "Whose apprentice are you?" Qingwei said frankly: "I am the apprentice of the Purple Cloud Daoist. ”
"Ziyun" The old Taoist priest muttered softly, and the old Taoist's expression changed slightly: "Ziyun is from Nantianyue, you are in trouble when you leave Ziyun, you have already entered the sect of Nantianyue, and you can't leave easily, even if Ziyun knows where you are, he may also chase you back." Alas, there is no smooth sailing in life, and I have also suffered a lot of humiliation. ”
Qingwei had a whim for a while, but he didn't think of how much, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
The old Taoist priest bent down to pick up the golden book, and said in surprise: "What is this, the light is even brighter than the light of a candle." Seeing that the cover said "Supreme Immortal Gong", I couldn't help but turn a page, and I was extremely shocked after reading it, and I couldn't put it down.
Qingwei secretly said that he had such a high level of kung fu, there was no way to force himself.
The old Taoist priest only flipped through a few pages and handed over the book, Qingwei followed the road to find the lost sword, and found it in the grass after a few steps.
Qingwei picked up the book, held the sword, and was ready to leave, but where to go, the master didn't know where to go, or went to Nangong Qi? But what did he say when he saw Nangong Qi? What did he say when he saw the master? As the old Taoist priest said, what if the master asked him to go back? But he was still a little reluctant to ask himself to go back for a while, Nantianyue was a place that made him sad and humiliated, and if he didn't go back, it would make the master embarrassed.
The old Taoist priest said, "Wait a minute, boy, I like your book very much, can you lend it to me, I promise to return it to you after reading it." ”
After all, the old Taoist priest saved his life, Qingwei hesitated, and said: "This book was left to me by my father" It seems that this old man is not a bad person, if he is a bad person, why bother talking such nonsense, take it directly, kill people and extinguish his mouth, who knows if the black light is blind.
The old Taoist priest was very reluctant to say: "That's it, I don't look at you in vain, I have a book as precious as your book, we exchange and learn from each other, and we will return it to you in a few days after learning." ”
The old Taoist priest took out a yellowed book and said, "This is a flute book, and it is worth as much as your book." ”
"Could it be that you are the one who played the flute a lot that night?" Qingwei was overjoyed, but did not take his book.
"Exactly!" replied the old Taoist priest.
Qingwei said without hesitation: "Yes, can you teach me to play the flute?"
"Absolutely. The old Taoist priest replied so quickly.
With this old man teaching the flute, Qingwei agreed without hesitation, and chose to stay without hesitation, Qingwei didn't know why he was so fascinated by this flute.
The old Taoist priest teased: "You won't leave Nantianyue, if you leave, we won't be able to learn from each other, then it's a pity." ”
Qingwei said: "Originally, I wanted to leave, but with the guidance of the old man, I thought about it and stayed." ”
The old Taoist priest looked relieved: "Go back, you will come here every night from now on, and we will learn from each other." ”
Qingwei nodded and agreed: "Yes, may I ask the old man for his name." The old Taoist priest looked unfathomable and said, "In the future, I will tell you that you must not tell anyone when you see me, including your master, can you do it?"
Qingwei nodded again and said, "It can be done, but it's not easy to go out, the wall is too high." The old Taoist priest said, "What's so difficult about this, I'll pick you up at night." ”
"I'm locked up in a confinement cell right now. Qingwei was afraid that he would not find himself.
The old Taoist priest smiled, with a kindness on his face: "As long as you don't leave Nantianyue, no matter where you are, I can find you." ”
Qing Wei was frightened by this, shook his head and said, "I thought about it, I decided not to leave." ”
The old Taoist priest was relieved: "That's right, if you secretly leave Nantianyue, you will be able to withdraw from Nantianyue on your own, which will make your master embarrassed, and if you don't know how to be punished, it may be his turn to be locked up next time." ”
Qingwei was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and said in his heart Fortunately, he hadn't left yet, and said, "Grandpa, please send me back, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb the wall." ”
"Good. Then he sandwiched Qingwei under his armpit, running like flying, Amaterasu only felt that the wind was whistling in his ears, faster than the flying monkey, to the foot of the wall, he saw his feet lightly on the wall, and soon crossed the wall and landed gently, without a sound, he seemed to be familiar with the path, and soon arrived at the confinement room, opened the door buckle on the outside and said: "Go in, I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”
Qingwei said "um" and went in, and the door was closed by the old Taoist priest again.
