Chapter Forty-Six: Late Bloomer
The three of us walked slowly until we reached the vicinity of the old house left over from the production team.
Cheng Blind suddenly stopped, sniffed and said, "There is something." ”
Xu Yuanzhi took out a large bowl from the blanket he was carrying, scooped a bowl of rainwater from the drainage ditch on the side of the road, and took out the bag of silver needles.
This guy really knows how to use local materials!
The silver needle was placed on the surface of the water, and after two turns, it pointed straight to a certain place.
Xu Yuan and I subconsciously looked there, and when I saw it, my whole body shuddered.
It was a deserted well, and there was a big brown snake head lying on the edge of the well, and the snake's body was in the well, and I don't know how long it was, but from such a big head alone, it must be more than ten meters.
The snake's red eyes stared at us coldly, and the forked snake hyacinth kept swallowing.
Snakes are not uncommon in the countryside, and it is the first time I have seen such a big one, and my legs and stomach are weak, Xu Yuanyi grabbed me and ran away in a hurry.
"Damn, this is too insane!" After walking a long way, the two of us stopped, waiting for Cheng to be blind, and I patted Peng Peng's beating chest and exhaled.
"It's Lao Liu's family, the Xiaolong River has a lot of water, it just ran into the village, it doesn't seem to be a good stubble, it can't be provoked, it can't be provoked......"
Xu Yuanzhi also looked nervous, as if he was talking to me, and as if he was admonishing himself.
Waiting for the blind man to catch up, we continued to walk forward, and we really found a lot of small animals, including several of them, and one of them was a big hedgehog that made me remember it deeply.
It was the first time I had seen a hedgehog so big, the size of a pot, and the needle on its back was as thick as my little finger, and when we saw it, it saw us.
We looked at each other, and the hedgehog actually stood up like a human, and his two front paws were facing Xu Yuanzhi again and again, as if he had a request for him.
When this old Xu saw this scene, he pulled me with one hand and Cheng Blind with the other, turned around and ran!
I was a little baffled by him, and while running after him, I panted and asked, "What are you running?" That thorn ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Before I could say anything, Xu Yuanzhi let out a low roar and covered my mouth.
This old boy had a lot of hands, almost suffocated me to death, so he stumbled and dragged me out of a long way, before he let me go, and said to me with palpitations: "Little ancestor, if you encounter this situation again in the future, don't say what they are, this is taboo, you said that sentence at night just now, which angered it, and the three of us will have a hard time in the future." ”
"What do you mean?" I was annoyed by him, but I didn't look like he was joking, so I put the words of complaint back into my stomach and asked.
"That hedgehog is fighting with me, that's begging for a seal, you want to say it's a hedgehog, it can't cultivate a human form in this life, do you say it's annoying?"
It dawned on me, "I see! ”
I know about the animal begging for sealing, and I've heard a lot, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and now that I have encountered it, I think it's quite novel, so I said to Xu Yuanzhi: "It's a good thing that it asks for a seal with you, don't you just say that it looks like a human?" Now that it's so chaotic, it can be transformed into a human Tao, and it will definitely rise, and maybe it can help us. ”
"You little kid knows a fart." Xu Yuanzhi glared at me, "If I really want to seal it, it will hurt it." It is said that when animal cultivation encounters a bottleneck, asking cultivators to ask for a seal will greatly improve them, but in fact, this is not the case at all. It has not been recognized by heaven and earth, even if it is empty and humanoid, even if it cultivates for thousands of years, it will not be able to achieve positive results. Not only that, but if I seal it, I have a connection with it, and if it does good, it is good, and if it is evil, I will follow it......"
Before Xu Yuanzhi's words fell, there was a coughing sound behind the two of us.
"Ahem......"
The two of us hurriedly turned around, it was not Cheng who was blind, but the big hedgehog just now was lying in the grass on the side of the road and nodding at the two of us.
This one is coming!
Could it be that you can't get the seal and be annoyed and angry, and you want to do something to us?
I was thinking about which way to run to get rid of it, but I didn't want it to open my mouth: "The old man heard the words of the Taoist chief, but the old man was confused for a while and bothered the Taoist chief." ”
It speaks politely, not like it wants to be murderous.
Xu Yuanzhi bowed his hand to it: "You can already speak people, if you can survive the catastrophe of thunder and turn into a human form in time, why rush at this time?" ”
The old hedgehog sighed: "It's not that the old man can't endure the hardships of cultivation, it's a shame, the old man has been cultivating in the mountains for a long time, and even I don't remember how many years ago I was able to speak human words, maybe a thousand years, maybe two thousand years, maybe longer, seeing that the future generations have surpassed me one by one, but I can't even transform into a human form, and I am helpless to ask the Taoist chief for a seal today." ”
More than 2,000 good people haven't repaired their personal shapes! I don't know if it's stupid or talented, or pitiful?
Xu Yuanzhi's thoughts were probably similar to mine, he looked at the old hedgehog with sympathy, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and he didn't say a word.
"Alas!" The old hedgehog sighed, full of melancholy, "I don't know where the old decay came from, why didn't the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder come?" Everyone else is afraid of it, afraid of being chopped to death, and the old man dreams of it coming, even if it chops me to death at once. ”
The old hedgehog is probably also very depressed, and he chatters so much that he can't stop talking to us.
The sharp-toothed Xu Yuanzhi was speechless, and he didn't hold back a word for a long time.
"Late bloomer!" But the blind man Cheng who came slowly came came with such a sentence.
The old hedgehog then turned around and went back to practice.
The situation in the village is much better than I expected, although there are many more small animals than usual, but there are few who really have Taoism, and this discovery has made me feel a lot more at ease.
Still, the blind man's words made my newly relaxed mood tense again.
He said that it was daytime, and the monsters dared to come out, but the sneaky ones were afraid of yang energy and did not dare to show their faces. At night, the village will definitely be a different scene, and this is only the beginning, after a while, the demons and the like will gather more and more, the yin qi will become heavier and heavier, and the ghosts will dare to come out in broad daylight. ”
I imagined for a moment that the scene of demons and ghosts rampant in the village in broad daylight made my hair stand on end.
The whole village walked around and didn't find any big problems, so the three of us went to the construction site by the Xiaolong River again.
There are a lot of building materials piled up here, because it has been raining for the past few days, these materials are covered with plastic sheets, and it is strange that there is not a single figure in sight on the huge construction site.
Counting up, it has been half a month since the death of the cow madman, and Lu Jinguo, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot some time ago, should have chosen another site a long time ago, could it be that it was not approved by the above?
I shook my head, this thing has become the way it is, and it has nothing to do with me whether this embankment is repaired or not!
I walked slowly, not noticing that Xu Yuanzhi and Cheng Blind didn't follow......
