Chapter 17: Unbearable Fate

When Ling Han saw these eight words, he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that he still had the guidance of a master, and he was a god with superb skills, who came and went without a trace.

Knowing the way to get out of the village, Ling Han did not hesitate, blew out the oil lamp, and went out lightly. There was a stream at the entrance of the courtyard, Ling Han didn't care about it before, where this water flow came from and where it flowed, but after the guidance of the master, he knew the wonderful use of this water flow. Think about it carefully, it should be like this, this village was built on the mountainside, and the strongmen who did all the evil in those years, if they surrounded this mountain, only defended and did not attack, and then cut off its water source, the ancestors of the Shen family only had the fate of dying of thirst. There must be a clear spring on this mountain, which converges into a stream, so that the ancestors of the Shen family have achieved the great thing of exterminating thieves.

Tonight, this Qingxi has become Ling Han's guide again. Ling Han went against the direction of the current, cautiously advancing in the village, and once he met the Zhuang Ding who was patrolling the night, he quickly hidden.

This Shen Zhuang was built according to the formation, and there have been no thieves and bandits for a few years, even if there is Zhuang Ding patrolling the night, they are all pretentious, Ling Han saw that Zhuang Ding who patrolled the night was scattered, chatting while walking:

"Zhao Si, when will you pay back the five taels of silver you owed me yesterday?"

"Bai Liu, when do I owe you money!"

"Last night, after the night patrol, you touched those handfuls, you lost all the money, and borrowed them from me! Didn't you sleep with a mother-in-law for a night, and you forgot to be bed!"

"Bai Liu, don't talk nonsense! When will Lao Tzu ever pay for the money! I will touch two handfuls in a while, Chen San and they are all waiting!"

"Hey, where are you going, not smearing oil on the soles of your feet, you want to slip away!"

That Zhao Si actually walked towards the bush where Ling Han was hiding, Ling Han couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat, although he didn't do anything bad, but under the melon field and plums, hiding here in the middle of the night, it was inevitable that he would be misunderstood.

"Don't shout, I'll do it!"

"Whoa, ......whoa, whoa" A burst of urine smell came over, fortunately there was still some distance from Ling Han, otherwise, the Zhao Si high mountains and flowing water, flying down three thousand feet, Ling Han was flooded by the Seventh Army, and the urine was wet and the green shirt was ten thousand embarrassed.

After the two of them walked away, Ling Han continued to move along the stream, maybe the Zhuang Ding who patrolled the night went to gamble, but Ling Han did not meet again.

It's just that this stream has turned a hundred times and thousands of times, taking Ling Han around most of the Zhuangzi, originally thought that the front was the way out, but as soon as the stream turned, the front was actually a dead road; I thought that there was no road in front, but along the stream I would find a way in the bamboo forest or rockery, so it took an hour to go around and around, and Ling Han came to the north gate of Shenzhuang built by the mountain.

It's just that the north gate is locked, and there are walls more than three zhang high all around, Ling Han inspected a circle, and found an old tree next to the wall, and the branches stretched out of the wall. Ling Han exerted his skill of climbing the tree that he had practiced for many years, as dexterous as an ape, easily climbing the tree, and then dragging the branches to the ground.

In front of him is a mountain road paved with bluestone slabs, quite like the stone steps of the white mountain outside the chrysanthemum platform.

Ling Han did not slacken, tightened his belt, and walked up the steps.

The night breeze was cool, blowing Ling Han's clothes. When he reached more than 100 steps, when Ling Han was just about to feel tired, his cold air slipped out like a conditioned reflex, doubling Ling Han's strength. Ling Han couldn't help but think about how good it would be if this air conditioner was used by himself, it was an inexhaustible wealth. Ling Han went up faster and faster, and he ran more than seven hundred steps in one go, and finally arrived at the pavilion.

The pavilion is an octagonal pavilion, on the lintel of the middle of the two bluestone pillars, there are three ancient seal characters engraved with "Xiangwan Pavilion", I don't know who built this Xiangwan Pavilion, is it true that the immortal had been waiting for the ascension here?

"The immortals have risen from this pavilion, there is no room here to the evening pavilion, the immortals are gone, and the stone pillars are still like the mountains and greens. I don't know which poet's masterpiece this is, engraved on the stone tablet by the pavilion. The bluestone pillar supporting the top beam was extremely smooth, and there was no trace of a knife splitting an axe, Ling Han touched it, and it was extremely slippery and greasy, as if a cold air went straight into his body. Ling Han retracted his hand with a stirring spirit.

It's really weird, Ling Han thought, originally his physique was extremely cold, but he didn't expect this stone pillar to be even colder than himself.

In fact, no matter how cold Ling Han is, he is also flesh and blood, since he has not been frozen, it means that he still has some body temperature, others say that he is extremely cold, but it is only compared to normal people, his body temperature is very low and very low, beyond the range that normal people can bear.

The wonderful cold air in Ling Han's body did not always converge to the point where it could be as cold as a knife, the time he was in distress at sea, the cold air suddenly burst out and hurt people, it was just accidental, under the suppression of the loss of warm jade, the cold air converged, and the power increased greatly. But Ling Han still couldn't control it freely, otherwise, this domineering skill of cold air like a knife alone would be enough to make Ling Han proud of the master of Shu Tendon.

However, the pillar of this pavilion is a thousand-year-old cold stone, standing on the top of the peak, absorbing the yin qi of the moon, and at this midnight, it is the coldest time, so Ling Han touches the same cold and presses, and this stone pillar comes to a "way to the other, and give the other body".

There was no one in the pavilion, and Ling Han couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, it could be that the immortal had already left. Ling Han wanted to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion and wait for a while to see if anyone came. Who knew that as soon as his butt hit the stone bench, he immediately bounced up, this stone bench was even colder than the stone pillar, Ling Han had to wait by the pavilion, but he waited for half an hour, and there was still no one, Ling Han thought, if he continued to suffer, he had to catch a cold, although he was cold, he was still afraid of catching a cold.

So, I had to go back step by step.

Then, in the moonlight, Ling Han saw the outline of Shen Zhuang as a whole. In the dimness, there is indeed a gossip formation, and in the center of Shenzhuang, there is a round and shiny water surface, which seems to be an artificial lake. Ling Han couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the Shen family's ancestors.

The immortal seeker was not met, and Ling Han had no choice but to return the same way. I can't sleep after tossing and turning all night, isn't it for me to go tonight?

The next day, Ling Han wanted to go to see Shen Chao, but Zhuang Ding told him that the owner of Shen Zhuang had something to do and did not return, so Ling Han had to return to his residence, this coke broke Tianbao, and pulled Ling Han to catch fish, Ling Han couldn't resist Tianbao, so he had to accompany him, Tianbao took Ling Han over the mountains and mountains for a long time, and only then did he reach a small river, and the small river entered a cave.

As soon as Ling Han saw this, wasn't this the place where he escaped, although he was dizzy at the time, he still had a little impression.

Escaping from the mouth of the giant beast and trekking through the dark river, fate always loves to torture people, which can't help but make Ling Han recall that tense moment.

"Tianbao, it's dangerous here, there's a monster in the cave!"

"You lie!" Tianbao said innocently, "I've been catching fish here since I was a child, why haven't I seen it?"

"Really, did you carry me back from here?"

"It seems to be!" Tianbao touched his head, looked here with his little eyes, and then looked at the way in the distance, "I can't remember exactly, it's not here anyway, it's on the way back! Look at me!"

Tianbao forked down, the harpoon was as fast as electricity, and a big fish more than a foot long was hit by the fork, and the red blood stained the river red, but in an instant, the scarlet was diluted by the river and taken away.

Tianbao cut off a piece of fish meat with a knife, handed it to Ling Han, and said, "Taste it!"

Ling Han suddenly felt as if he was back at sea, eating raw fish and meat every day, "Wow!" and vomited again.

Tianbao blinked his little eyes and said, "Master's wine is really powerful! Brother, are you still drunk!"

"Tianbao, do you dare to go into the cave with me?"

"What don't you dare!"

The two waded through the water, followed the water flow and entered the cave, that day patronizing and fleeing, did not see the cave clearly, through the sunlight reflected by the water surface, Ling Han saw the cave: stalactites stalagmites, echoing from afar, the sound of dripping water, endlessly, the stone wall was full of moss, the cave was full of wind gusts, after walking for a while, the light inside was dimming, Tianbao was a little scared, and said: "Is there really a monster inside!"

Ling Han said: "Haven't you been catching fish here since you were a child, there are monsters there!"

Tianbao said: "Actually, I lied to you, I just looked at the entrance of the cave, once the master also came here, but did not catch fish with me, he went into the cave, when he came out, he was covered with blood, told me, Tianbao, don't go into the cave, there are ghosts inside, I don't dare to go in." ”

"There are ghosts?" Ling Han had another big question mark in his heart, with Master Shen's cultivation, he shouldn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but why did he lie to Tianbao.

At this time, Tianbao was already trembling and cowering, he grabbed Ling Han's shirt and said, "Let's go back! I'll take you to another fun place! It's not fun to be dark here!"

Ling Han saw Tianbao retreating, and he was afraid that he would really encounter the man-eating monster, although the two of them had steel forks, they were not the opponents of that monster, so he said, "Okay! There's nothing fun here, let's go!"

Just when Ling Han was about to leave, he suddenly kicked something under his feet, not like a stone, Ling Han bent down and touched it for a long time, like an iron card, vaguely engraved with some words, but the light in the hole was too dim to see clearly.

The two of them exited the cave, Ling Han looked at the iron card in the sun, it was covered with gray-white dirt, and he could only see the zigzag curves, but he couldn't recognize what the words were, Ling Han was a little curious, so he kicked the iron card into his pocket first.

Tianbao thought that Ling Han had picked up some treasure, his little eyes kept staring at Ling Han, Ling Han was a little hairy by him, so he took out the iron plate and gave it to Tianbao. Tianbao looked at it a few times, and felt that there was nothing unusual, and a broken brand stained with lime was returned to Ling Han.

The two caught fish for a while and then returned to Shenzhuang.

Tianbao carried the five or six big fish he caught, and when he returned to the village, he met Zhuang Ding and asked him for fish, and he was not stingy, and he gave it to everyone he could.

"Tianbao, how does your fish taste!"

"Sixth Brother Bai, this fish is very fresh!"

"Your sister-in-law just wants to drink fish soup!"

"Then I'll give you one, go back and make soup for my sister-in-law!"

In this way, without waiting to return to the yard, there was no fish left, but Tianbao did not make a loss-making transaction, everyone took Tianbao's fish, and also gave Tianbao some bacon and smoked sausages, which made Tianbao even more proud, and forgot the embarrassment of almost peeing his pants when he entered the hole just now.

Ling Han had dinner and thought to himself, I still went to the Evening Pavilion today, I didn't see the old fairy last night, I will definitely see it tonight.

So when the lights went out, Ling Han followed the path of last night and climbed to the top of the mountain, but there was still no figure in the Xiangwan Pavilion.

Could it be that the magic stick was just playing tricks on me! Ling Han thought, but he had no grievances with that person, why did he tease himself, and he could be so clear about his unbearable life experience?

"The flowers are late, goodbye to fate", goodbye to fate, but see you one day, you can't run to the mountains in the middle of the night every day and wait!

Pushing open his door, Ling Han suddenly felt that something was shining, and he hurriedly blocked his eyes.

Seeing that there seemed to be colorful streamers flickering in the room, Ling Han couldn't help but feel strange. The colorful streamer must be a heavy treasure, but now that he is a poor boy, he even has pants that belong to others, so how can there be any treasure.

Ling Han suddenly remembered the brand he picked up in the water cave today, and when he came back, he didn't care, so he threw it on the table, could it be that brand?

Ling Han walked to the inner room to take a look, and sure enough, it was the brand that was shining, and the plaster on the surface naturally fell off, allowing this treasure to see the light of day again. Ling Han took the sign in his hand and took a look, the texture of the brand was like jade, like jade, and a circle of skeletons was vividly engraved on it, Ling Han counted it, there were seven, six small and one large, in a circle, and three big characters were engraved in the middle:

"Yama Order".
