Chapter 8 There is a temple in the mountains
When the little monk heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ran over, but saw the little stone standing next to the mountain stream pouring out of the pool, with a very strange expression. β
I saw that under the silver-white ice, there was a looming shadow, as if hovering in mid-air, looking at the rough form, it seemed to be a human shape, looking down on it, like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror as elusive. The little monk couldn't help but exclaim, "Strange, how did you get in?"
Xiao Shi said: "What can I say? When I was passing by just now, I saw such a living treasure. At first, I thought it was something, but it was a person. It looks like it floated from the river, so it must have frozen here. β
The little monk said: "Isn't it the snow peak on the top of the mountain, the birds can't go up, how can a person float down for no reason? Amitabha, good, let's dig him out and let him be buried in the ground, so that he will not be frozen in it and melt away with the water next spring, and become a Chinese meal for fish and shrimp. β
The little stone asked, "How do you get him out?" This ice is much harder than the one on the other side of the pool, and the chisel I used to chisel the ice poked it, and a white mark appeared. β
The little monk thought for a while, clapped his hands and said, "In this way, burn it with fire." β
Xiao Shi said: "How long will such a thick ice burn?"
The little monk said: "Otherwise, I have an axe for chopping wood, you pile a pyre here, while burning the ice softly, while clicking down with an axe, this stream is the summer water, not half a person deep, I see that this ice is at most a foot thick, let's burn one by one, one hour is enough." β
Xiao Shi rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's better for you to have a good head, I'll just follow you and make my efforts." In that case, I'll go find firewood, you go get the axe, and we'll do it. β
In the end, it was a hot-blooded young man, just do it, Xiao Shi and the little monk piled firewood one by one, scraped the ice, "calipers and calipers", smashed the ice cubes and moved them away, and then scraped the broken ice stubble down little by little, and finally gradually, the man's face was revealed first, and the two of them also saw the appearance of the person inside.
Xiao Shi glanced at it, couldn't help but gasp, and said, "Is this a man or a woman?"
The little monk took a closer look and was also taken aback, and after a while, he said, "I think it's still a man, probably about the same age as us." I've heard that there are many wonders outside the mountains, and some pampered young men look like beautiful girls. said that the face is like a crown of jade, which is probably what it looks like. But his face looked so pale, he should have been frozen, this is frozen into a popsicle. As he spoke, he reached out and touched the young man's cheek, retracted his hand in amazement, and said, "It's still angry." β
Xiaoshi also stretched out his hand, although he didn't feel the air current, but the tentacles were still warm, and he couldn't help but feel surprised, and said: "Frozen in the ice and still alive, this person is really fateful." Let's hurry up and do it, and maybe we can save it. As he spoke, he stepped forward to scrape the ice again, when he heard someone behind him: "What are you waiting for?"
The two turned around, only to see two people walking in the woods, the one in front was a little Taoist, ten years old, his face was like powder, his lips were like Dan, and his appearance was quite handsome, only his nose was slightly red from the cold, he was dressed in a cyan thick cotton robe, with warm shoes under his feet, his hands shrunk in his sleeves, and a handful of dust in the crook of his arm. He was followed by a teenager, but sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a thick cotton coat and shrinking his head.
The little stone was gone, and when he saw the Taoist robe on his body, his face sank, and he said, "You areβ"
The little Taoist priest raised his head slightly, glanced at the two of them with the whites of his eyes, and said, "Are you a villager here?
When the little stone heard this, he suddenly changed color, pressed his right hand, pressed it on his bow, and was just about to make a move, but his shoulder was pressed by the little monk, and he didn't have a seizure for the time being, but he only heard the little monk get up and put his head together: "It turned out to be Yue Huazhen's tall feet, and the little monk lost his respect." β
The little Taoist priest said strangely: "Hey, you are a monk, this is strange, isn't this area my master's dojo? Why is there still a monk from the Shi family? No, since you are a monk, why don't you have a scar of incense on the top of your head?" It turned out that although the little monk was wearing a monk's robe, the top of his head was shiny and shiny, and there was nothing else.
The little monk smiled: "Although the little monk is a monk, he is not a monk. When the teacher was there, he had become a little monk, but he hadn't had time to shave his ordination, let alone take the name of the Dharma, this was just a little novice. However, the little monk does live next to Yue Hua Zhenren's dojo, and he has been living for more than a year, and he has been blinded by real people, and he has also sent spices to the Taoist temple several times. I only saw that there have always been four Taoist children serving by the real person, such as the breeze, the bright moon, the spring breeze, and the rain, but I don't know where the little Taoist came from?"
That Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "You also said that the people around Shizun now are just a few Taoist children, serving tea and pouring water, where can they compare with me? Long before his old man entered the mountain, he sent me out to look for ......" He paused, and muttered secretly: What am I talking about this with irrelevant people? Since you live next to your master, you are naturally protected by his old man. It's time to recognize who I am. β
The little monk smiled: "Exactly." Yue Hua's real person is thousands of miles away, and everyone knows it, and since the Taoist is a true person's beloved disciple, he must also be a great character. The little monk will rely on the care of the Taoist in the future. β
Na Chongyuan nodded, satisfied with the little monk's knowledge, and said, "Let me ask you, is my master really only serving with four Dao children now......? Is my senior brother Chonghe coming back?"
The little monk shook his head and said, "I've never seen this." β
That Chongyuan nodded and said with a secret smile: Sure enough, let me get ahead of him, and his senior brother will also come to an end. In a dark mood, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The little monk pointed to the young man who was frozen in the ice and said, "We are shaving ice." β
That Chongyuan sneered and said, "It's just thin ice, it's so much trouble, you see." With a pinch of his hand, a purple electric light came out from his fingers, quickly surrounding the entire palm, and in an instant, electric snakes scurried around his hands. The little monk and the little stone were stunned at the same time, neither dared to approach, and each took a step back.
I only heard Chong Yuan's loud shout, and the entire palm that was entangled in thunder pressed down on the ice.
With a bang, the solid ice was pressed by the thunder light, and it was calm at first, but suddenly it burst open like a silver bottle, and the ice chips flew wildly, and countless broken ice mixed with cold water sprayed into the sky, under the refraction of the sun's rays, it was brilliant, like a dream.
But for a few people, the impact of this momentum gave them no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, not only the little monk covered his head and face, not daring to raise his head, but even the young man behind Chongyuan took a few steps back, staring at the back of this senior brother, showing a frightened look.
After a while, the little stone felt that there was less broken ice on his body, so he looked up, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but almost fall off his eyes, only to see that the ice in front of him, several feet wide and long, was all blown up, blowing out a hole more than a person long, debris everywhere, and a few half-cokered small fish fell on the edge of the pit, and the whole water surface was like a newly ploughed field, turning from top to bottom. There was a mess in front of him, and only the young man in the ice was lying quietly in the big pit, his whole body covered with layers of ice chips, his eyes closed, and his expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
Xiao Shi said indignantly: "Are you breaking the ice, or are you killing someone?" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly shouted: "Ah, there is a lot of blood! You killed him!"
Sure enough, I saw that the young man only had a thin single coat on his body, which was tightly wrapped in the cold, and through the translucent ice chips, he could see that the clothes were all horizontal and vertical, all of which were red blood marks, and he looked very sad in the ice and snow.
Chong Yuanyi frowned and said, "Nonsense, how did I kill him? If he has any physical injuries, it may be that I chopped him." But he clearly is...... He stepped forward, half-knelt on the edge of the pit, grabbed the young man's clothes with one hand, twisted them a few times, changed his expression a few times, and said, "Ghost Draw Talisman!"
Except for him, no one reacted to the word in his mouth, the little monk blinked, looked down at the young man, but rushed to the young man who came behind him and asked, "Senior brother, what is the ghost drawing talisman? Is it a spell?"
Chong Yuan recovered, snorted, and sneered: "Hmph, what kind of spell is the ghost drawing talisman? It's like asking God to possess you and stepping on a villain and tying a rag doll, and you can't get into the hall of elegance. I've seen a lot. β
Although he said disdain, his eyes wandered over the blood-colored marks on the young man's body, and he said secretly: This is the ghost drawing talisman in the blind eye method, but the number of roads is a little surprising, and I can't recognize it. Hmph, these are all small paths, all of which are the tricks of those wild Taoist priests who can't get on the stage, and they have figured out many tricks, which can confuse people. Now that I have entered the Tao, I am a real immortal, what kind of ghost do I care about him?
Thinking of this, Chong Yuan made a disdainful look, and said lightly: "It seems that this person was suppressed by some demon with evil magic, so that he was like a zombie and froze into the ice." β
The junior brother behind him said, "Senior brother, what kind of evil art is this, such an evil sect?"
Chong Yuan almost rushed out: "How do I know?" But thinking of his dignity in front of his junior brother, his face did not change, and said: "This must be one of the evil techniques circulating in the mortal world, 'corpse transformation technique', the most vicious. In order to make it vivid, I want to add, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, this person will inevitably turn into a puddle of pus", finalized the brick foot, and was afraid that the braggadocio would blow it up, and then the person would not be transformed, which would greatly damage his prestige, so he couldn't help but say nothing.
When the junior brother heard this, he really showed a frightened look, and said: "Senior brother, this person has evil arts in his body, and he is very pitiful, senior brother, you have great powers, it is better to save him." β
Chong Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then glanced at the bright red ghost painting talisman, frowned, and said, "Nonsense, how could I ...... Why save him?"
The junior brother was stunned, showing a stunned look. Xiao Shi saw it coldly beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Chong Yuan reprimanded, and then reacted - this junior brother is his own person, and now that he has returned to his master's side, he is about to rein in this junior brother, and he can't easily let him look down on himself, his eyes rolled, and he already had an idea, and said: "Destroying demons and defending the Dao is important, but there are even more urgent things in front of him. β
The junior brother was puzzled and said, "What?"
Chong Yuan Zhengse said: "If you can make such an evil law, you must be a first-class demon." And since this person is still alive, it proves that he has not been harmed by the evil law for a long time, that is to say, the demon is probably not far away, is it not?"
The junior brother said "Huh?", but did not react, and said in the distance: "Think about it, what kind of place is this? This is the dojo of the master! It should have been a peaceful world, but now there are demons haunting. Although the master has great powers, it is also dangerous if someone with bad intentions is secretly injured by an arrow. As disciples, how could there be a more important matter than the safety of the master? If the master is injured in the slightest, you and I will never escape the blame. β
When the senior brother heard this, he said solemnly: "Senior brother taught me a lesson. β
Chong Yuan said: "Let's go, you and I will immediately go back to the master and clear his old man's decision." You two little ghosts, it's better not to touch this kid. This corpse talisman is extremely powerful, I don't know when the corpse will be raised, and one of you is careless, and the neck is bitten off by a zombie, but no one can save it. He didn't even look at the young man in the pit, turned around and left, and his junior brother said loudly, "Obey." β
When the two of them left, Xiao Shi turned to the little monk and said, "My brain is a little slower, look at what I just meant, will Chongyuan not resolve this ghost talisman?"
The little monk just smiled faintly, walked to the edge of the pit, supported the young man's shoulders with both hands, and said, "I guess that's what it means." Come, help me by the hand, and lift this man upβ"
The little stone walked over and carried the young man's feet, and with a strong force, the two of them had already lifted the young man out of the pit and put him aside.
Xiao Shi sneered: "I'll just say, others don't know the bottom of that stinky cow's nose, how can I not know? What is the Demon Removal Guard, he himself is not clean! Obviously he is a Taoist priest, but he actually hooks up with three ......and four" He sneered twice, his smile was not so much sarcasm as resentment, and after a while he said, "They don't care, I just want to take care of it." What zombies are not zombies, coaxing three-year-old children. Let's carry him to my house, and I'll see if this man really turns into a zombie and gnaws at my head!"
The little monk raised his head at this time and said with a straight face: "Little stone, there are two things you have to be careful about - the first thing is that in the future, you will not call Yue Hua Daoren's group of stinky cow noses, wild Taoist priests or something." β
Xiao Shi said, "Why?"
The little monk brushed the ice ballast off the young man's face with his hand and said, "You saw it just now, although they are not masters of the Tao, but the fierce spells in their hands are real, and they are not wild Taoists who deceive people on the side of the road. You have to admit this, no matter how annoying you are, you can't despise them. To put it another way, remind yourself that they are not fuel-efficient lamps. β
Little Stone pouted, "What do you call them?" β
The little monk thought for a moment and said, "If you don't call it a group of demons." β
Xiao Shi nodded, "This is already a lot of praise for them." β
The little monk smiled, pointed at the young man and said, "There is one more thing, are you sure you want to save this person?"
Xiaoshi said: "Why don't you save it?"
The little monk said: "The ghost drew the talisman strangely, I'm afraid of him...... Well, then carry it to my little temple. Don't touch him. The few words that Shicai Chongyuan said, although I think it seems like nonsense, but in order to fulfill the lie, maybe he will mention it in front of Yue Hua Daoren. In this way, this person is registered in front of Yue Hua Lao Dao, who knows what will happen in the future?"
Xiao Shi raised his head and said, "So what? Even if Yue Hua's old miscellaneous hair is blocked at my door, I am not afraid of him." β
The little monk sighed: "It's not something to be afraid of, you want him to block your door?
When Xiao Shi heard the word "sister", his face changed, he bit his lip and said, "Okay...... But put it in your little temple......"
The little monk said: "Although my temple only has a few tiles and three walls, he doesn't dare to come even if the old demon is famous." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth went up, revealing a look of pride for the first time. Suddenly remembering something, he said, "I think he is about the same height as you, do you have any clothes suitable for him to wear?"
Xiao Shi looked at the young man carefully, gestured, and said: "The height is about the same as me, but it's too thin, the cotton clothes definitely don't fit, and the leather clothes are about the same, I'll look for them, there should be one for him to wear." β
The little monk said, "Let's change his clothes first." This piece of Rausch ghost painting is clearly the source of trouble, and it can't be taken away. Just throw it here, the more conspicuous the better, and see what they do with it. If that ghost drawing charm is nothing special, and it is really a false alarm, then it will be fine. If this thing is really a problem, we'll have to make another plan. β
Xiaoshi said: "That's right, sure enough, you have a smart brain." I'll go get the clothes, you wait. β
The little monk looked at the back of the little stone, his expression was slightly worried, and there was another worry, but he didn't say it, that is, what is the identity of this young man? Although Chong Yuan said that this young man was victimized by the ghost drawing talisman, how reliable can Chong Yuan's words be? If this ghost drawing talisman was not drawn by someone else, but by the young man himself...... Then the origin of this person is great. Take 10,000 steps back and say, this person was really harmed by ghost drawing, can the person who can be harmed by this kind of evil magic be an ordinary person?
However, the little monk was not particularly worried, just as he could make Yue Huadao people dare not step into the small broken temple, he was also confident that even if this young man was big, he would be able to suppress it.
He also has his own hole cards.
With a somewhat confident smile, the little monk stared down at the young man's unusual appearance, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
No one answered, and in the snowy mountains and forests, only the sound of the cold wind whistled by.
