Chapter Twenty-Eight: Asking for Help from Patriarch Lu

We walk a way, come to an open area, the sunny day sends a cool wind, so that people feel comfortable, warm, due to the long-term running and tired, after risk and fright, has long been physically and mentally exhausted, now to this open place, can not hear the ghost crying wolf, only see a blue sky, bathed by this sun, think that there is no danger, once the hanging heart is put down, feel a little tired, under the proposal of bayberry, rest on the spot. Everyone sat down, and once their mental guard was lifted, they all felt sore, and involuntarily lay down and gradually fell asleep.

In order to save Liu Yong's eyes, Yangmei hopes that he can see the sun again, see her, and run around for it, her face is already haggard, her color is withered, and the pain is oozing blood from her painful heart leaf, thinking about Liu Yong in her heart, thinking about him, I don't know if he is safe to hide in his senior sister, I don't know if he can find the golden toad, or it is an unknown, so he sighed secretly, his heart was pounding, he was nervous, and he closed his eyes in a coma unconsciously due to excessive physical and mental fatigue.

At this time, she suddenly heard the bell ringing, leisurely swinging and shocking, so she followed the bell with great fascination, along the way the pine and green Berlin, lush, full of vitality, flowers blooming everywhere, competing for beauty, fragrant nose, birdsong chirping, murmuring, fresh breeze and refreshing, refreshing, lingering. It's really a good place, the bells are melodious and moving, and the pine forests are shady all the way. The flowers compete for beauty and spit fragrance, as if welcoming a destined person.

Bayberry along the way, winding paths, colorful butterflies dance, unconsciously come to a big pine tree. The head of the big pine tree was like an umbrella cover, and under the blowing of the breeze, it shook slightly, making a refreshing green sound. Ah, the pine trees are like umbrellas with shade, and the breeze slowly carries good news. Panasonic has chessboard stones, and there are chess players sitting on both sides.

Yangmei stopped to watch, and under the tree sat two Taoist masters, engrossed in chess on the stone plate. Sitting in the east, a Taoist chief, burly, over the age of sixties, thin waist and back, wearing a nine-beam scarf, wearing a silver-gray robe, waist tied nine strands of silk, feet wearing white socks cloud shoes, a sword behind his back, a gourd tied at the waist, the left hand with a horsetail dust, the face is like a full moon, the eyebrows are colorful, the eyes are like a star, the nose is like a hanging gall, the square mouth, three strands of white beard fluttering on the chest, it is really a fairy wind bone, chic and elegant.

Sitting in the west, a Taoist chief wearing a nine-beam scarf, wearing a blue Taoist robe, a water and fire silk silk around his waist, white socks and cloud shoes, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, white skin, in his forties, extraordinary appearance, a comfortable expression, playing with a piece of money in his left hand, with the state of a fairy wind and bones, squatting under his feet a big toad, golden all over, staring at the master with bulging eyes.

Yang Mei felt surprised, and on a whim, she stepped forward to watch. The two Taoist leaders ignored her arrival, didn't even look at her, and still played their chess as if no one was around, so leisurely immersed in the atmosphere of chess entertainment. Yangmei didn't feel much interest in the two of them playing chess, because she couldn't understand it, but she had a special affection for the golden toad at the feet of the Taoist, because she worked hard to find the golden toad in order to save her husband's eyes.

The Taoist sitting on the east side was playing chess, and from time to time he looked at the big toad at the feet of the Taoist on the west side, and if he noticed that it was moving and wanted to open his mouth to make a noise, he poured out a yellow and clear gold grain from the gourd tied around his waist and threw it into the toad's mouth, so that the big toad could live in peace.

Yangmei watched this scene, suddenly remembered the legend of the golden toad feeding on gold, looked carefully, it was indeed a three-legged toad, I heard that although the toad and the golden toad are the same kind, both have toxins, but there are also differences, the four-legged one is the toad, the three-legged one is the toad, although there is the poison of the toad, but the toad is much more poisonous than the venom of the toad, just like the comparison between the snake king and the snake, besides, the toad under the feet of the man is all golden, it must be a golden toad.

Yang Mei suddenly realized, asked herself, isn't this the golden toad I dreamed of looking for everywhere? I didn't expect to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find, it didn't take any effort to get it, the golden toad was actually presented in front of her eyes, of course, the owner of the golden toad is the Liu Hai Toad Immortal, it is really a heart to carry flowers and flowers do not bloom, unintentionally planted willows and willows, since the opportunity is rare, why don't I take this opportunity to pray for the help of the immortal master?

Thinking about this, she was about to kneel down and pray, but the two masters actually withdrew their chess. The west road chief flicked his long sleeves and said to the golden toad under his feet, come in. The golden toad was gone. She didn't see how it disappeared, whether it entered the sleeves of the Taoist robe, or where it went, and she didn't know, but when she was surprised, she saw the sleeves of the two robes flick and turn into a breeze.

She was disappointed, seeing that her wish came true, she missed the opportunity, remembering Liu Yong's blindness, trapped in the devil's cave and suffering, I don't know what the situation is recently, she has endured all the hardships and dangers to find the golden toad, and finally saw it, and let it disappear, feeling helpless, really wronged, desperate, sad from the heart, I can't help crying.

The cry alarmed Gala and Yingjiao, who hurriedly woke up Yangmei and asked her what was wrong. Yangmei opened her eyes, remembered the scene in the dream, her eyes were moist, she sighed, and said, "I'm dreaming......"

Gala laughed and said, "It's a dream of Brother Liu Yong......"

Lausanne said, "When is it, and we are still in this mood, let's get up and go." “

As they were walking forward, their eyes lit up, and they saw a temple in front of them, resplendent and majestic. Zheng Ming said: "Let's go and see if it's Lu Gongguan that the skeleton man said." Everyone stayed in front of them, and it was true, and the three big words "Lu Gongguan" on the plaque were impressive.

Yang Mei remembered the scene in the dream, her heart moved, and she took the lead in walking into the main hall, only to see the statues of the Pure Yang Patriarch and the Liu Hai Toad Ancestor sitting there calmly, lifelike, exactly the same as the image of the Taoist chief she dreamed of, Lu Zushi was indeed carrying a sword, and a gourd was tied around his waist, and the statue of Liu Hai Toad was indeed holding a big copper coin in his hand, and there was a big golden toad crouching next to his feet, bulging out of his eyes, looking at Liu Hai Toad Immortal.

Ying Horn said: "Listen to my father, the reason why the two of them can be loved and worshiped by future generations is that they can relieve the suffering of the people, give grace, solve problems for the people, and bring blessings to the people. ”

Hearing what he said, Yangmei's heart moved, and she knelt down to bow to Patriarch Lu, and prayed sincerely: "Master Lv, who is merciful and compassionate, I think you are generous, benevolent, universal sentient beings, save the people from fire and water, and relieve the people from hanging upside down. "The prayer center was sad, touched by feelings, and mourned loudly.

Gala and Yingjiao hurriedly helped Yangmei, persuaded her not to be too sad, and comforted her that she could always come up with a solution. Zheng Ming folded his hands and prayed, "Since you remember that we have a chivalrous heart and can help us with skeletons, can't you help us again?"

Luosang also prayed and said: "Yes, since Grandpa Lu has received incense from this world, he should carefully observe the people's feelings, suppress evil and promote good, and eliminate the injustice in the world. ”

Just when everyone prayed sincerely, a gust of wind floated down a sticker from the shrine, Yangmei picked it up, and looked at it that it read: The little gourd is round and round, born with a big belly and a sharp mouth, without the past Pangu Day, he is still the first than Wudang, the vast supernatural power can exorcise demons, and the inside is boundless, if you can surrender to take the golden toad, you have to borrow Liu money, gourd, money to carry, go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to break through, gourd, money to collect the golden toad, if you ask my name and surname, the mouth of the mountain people hear the world.

Yangmei was overjoyed after seeing it, and she was really sincere, and she was moved by Master Lu Zu, who was willing to help me, and hurriedly took down Lu Zu's gourd and the money in the hands of Master Liu, knelt down again, and prayed: "Thank you Master Zu for your guidance and help, and I will return it in the future." After that, he took everyone out of the Lu Gongguan, raised his head to look at the sky, and felt confused in his heart, thinking, Patriarch Lu instructed to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, but where is the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons? ”

Ying Horn said, "I know where the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is, and I will lead you there." ”

Everyone walked into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons with Yingjiao, only to feel that the wind was blowing, the haze was shrouded, the road was rugged, it was difficult to walk, there was a miasma everywhere, it was itchy and uncomfortable, if it wasn't for all taking the antidote of bayberry in advance, I am afraid it would be difficult to enter this Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, looking at the bright and dazzling flowers and different grasses, I am afraid that they are all poisonous, and I dare not contaminate them.

Everyone was walking forward cautiously, and a foul smell blew in the wind, making everyone want to vomit, and when they looked up, they saw several huge lizards vying for the carrion of some kind of beast in the distance. They had never seen such a large lizard, about two feet long, with a long tail dragging behind it, the scales on its body were distinct, its eyes were agitated, shining with fierce light, and from time to time it stretched out its long forked tongue, like a big snake exploring the information of space, and its feet had sharp hooks and claws, which looked very vicious. In order to snatch food, they plunged their sharp claws into the flesh of the carrion, grabbed a piece and swallowed it in their mouths. A large lizard opened its mouth to show its huge teeth, lowered its head and tore off a large piece of carrion at once, for fear that they would snatch it, raised its head and devoured it, and ran away......

A large beast carrion, in a moment by those monitor lizards swept away like a cloud, leaving only the remains of the bones, some monitor lizards left, as if looking for other food, some stopped in place, watching the two huge lizards bite and fight.

Zheng Ming looked puzzled and said in his heart, since these two monitor lizards had eaten the corpse meat, why did they fight with each other again? Could it be that they left a hatred for grabbing food at that time?
