Chapter 2 Encountering an orphan girl on the way home
In the fifty-eighth year of Qingli, Xu Muqiu, who was five years old at the time, suddenly contracted a serious illness, and the Xu family of Pingbei Houfu searched for famous doctors and used up all the treasures to continue his life.
After hearing this, the old feudal monarch of the Hou Mansion Zhang was even more anxious, pointing to the daughters-in-law and girls standing on the side, and scolded: "A bunch of uncompetitive things, so many people can't look down on my good grandson?" ”
Xu Muqiu's mother, Jin, echoed while wiping away tears: "Others laugh at me for being an old clam shengzhu, but I don't care." If I can get Brother Qiu, God treats me well. Therefore, if you are lenient and kind everywhere, how can you ever think of ......? If my son had three longs and two shorts, I wouldn't be able to live! ”
It is no wonder that the old Fengjun and the wife of the Pingbei Hou Mansion are extremely nervous and angry.
This has a great relationship with the current two veins of the Pingbei Hou Mansion, three generations of men, and only Xu Muqiu.
Coincidentally, just when Xu Muqiu was dying and the lamp was about to run out, the big girl next to the old lady Zhang hurriedly ran into the inner hall.
"Old lady, madam, there is a sloppy Taoist outside the door, saying that there is a way to save the young master, do you want to call him in to reply?"
"Sloppy Taoist? Is it a charlatan? So many doctors are helpless, what can he do to save my Qiu'er? Jin stared at Ruyi fiercely and asked, as if he wanted Ruyi to give her an explanation.
At this time, the old lady Zhang opened her slightly closed eyes and said to her daughter-in-law Jin: "A dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I will definitely let him try; If it's a charlatan, let him be buried with Brother Qiu'er for us! ”
When the Kim family heard this, he hurriedly asked Ruyi to please!
"Ten years of traces have gone to the red dust, looking back at the green mountains and falling into dreams. Zi Mo indulges in glory and sleeps, although Zhumen is more expensive than poor. ”
The voice seemed to be far away and near, and the hearts of the Zhang and Jin families in the house were greatly lifted, and they hurriedly gathered their minds and looked at the door together.
I saw a person come in at the door, that person has white hair and silver beard, a majestic figure, a turtle-shaped crane back, big ears and round eyes, a beard like a halberd, wearing a shabby robe, the first time I saw sloppy and sloppy, and then look closely, but he has his own wind and bones, and there seems to be a breeze around his body, not to be idle!
This sloppy Taoist, with a wave of his sleeves, made a slight gesture, and said loudly: "People outside the party, Taoist Xuanxuanzi, uninvited, where you are disturbed, look at Haihan!" ”
The sloppy Taoist didn't talk nonsense, and walked straight to Xu Muqiu's room where he was recuperating, and he didn't need a maid to lead the way, as if he had been here thousands of times. Everyone was secretly frightened and speechless!
When the Taoist came to the house, a mirror flew out of his arms, and there was no wind sounding, and the mirror body emitted a blue treasure light, and the blue light in the house was released. The light shone on Xu Muqiu, who was lying quietly on the bed, and Xu Muqiu's face suddenly turned good, as if he was stubborn!
Seeing this, the Taoist was overjoyed and said, "How should it be like this, there is an adventure in the mountains, and the treasure mirror meets Allah." ”
Before the Zhang family and the Jin family could say thank you, they saw this person, picked up the little Xu Muqiu on the bed, took one step, floated out of the door, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
There was an echo in the room: "Your son, your life is peculiar, and there are treasures with you, which can be described as unspeakably expensive!" I will solve problems for it, when there is a master and apprentice, ten years later, you can come to Wudang Mountain to find a son! ”
Everyone can't catch up, regret it, it's too late! After Xu Muqiu was taken away by the Taoist, the Pingbei Hou Mansion was in chaos, and he didn't mention it! The master of the Hou Mansion can only follow the ten-year covenant, hoping that his return home will come as soon as possible.
There is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year. The mountains and forests are lush and green, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, the colorful butterflies between the flowers are chasing each other, and the birds are also chirping non-stop, what a natural scene!
A clear stream in the forest meandered away, and from time to time fat fish jumped out, and there was a young man sitting crookedly by the stream, dressed in a moon-white robe, with a peach hairpin obliquely inserted in his coiled black hair, humming a cheerful tune in his mouth. It is Xu Muqiu, who has been away from home for nearly ten years.
Suddenly, the wind was fierce, and lightning and thunder roared. Xu Muqiu was suddenly startled, looked up at the sky, and saw that the rain was falling so hard and urgently, Xu Muqiu hurriedly put up the fishing rod and prepared to run to the Taoist temple.
When it was too late, a purple lightning bolt with the thickness of an arm slashed head-on at Xu Muqiu, and when he wanted to react, he couldn't avoid it, was instantly stunned, and fell to the ground!
In the evening, the body that was originally lying on the ground trembled slightly. The sound startled a passing squirrel, and as its body trembled more and more, the pouting squirrel hurriedly fled into the distance, for fear that someone would take away its hard-won acorns.
I heard a groan come from the body that had fallen to the ground, and then, not quite really, a sentence: "Water! Water! Water! ”
After a long time, the body regained consciousness, and seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water, and instinct drove him to try to open his eyes, raise his head slightly, and move with little strength towards the stream.
After a while, the body finally poked its head into the stream, buried its face in the water, and swallowed the sweet water of the stream.
After a while, as if he had drunk enough, the body lifted its head, turned over and sat on the ground, staring blankly at the clear water, not knowing what to think.
"Crossed?"
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? ”
"Come back if you're wrong! That's a philosophical question! I mean, through every year, this year to my house. I can't imagine that I, Xu Muqiu, a traditional 'three-no' person with no house, no car, and no family, can also step on the tail of 'crossing'. ”
At this time, a multitude of chaotic memories poured into his mind, interrupting his thoughts, and the life of Xu Muqiu, the original body, appeared in his mind like a marquee, and finally fixed on a mirror with a blue light.
Xu Muqiu came back to his senses, ripped open his collar, and didn't find the treasure mirror that had accompanied his original body for many years, and just as he was about to search around, he suddenly felt a slight heat in his chest.
Fu Ling's heart was so good that he silently recalled the appearance of the treasure mirror in his mind, and a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him, which was the treasure mirror in the memory of the original body.
The phantom of the treasure mirror seemed to be real and true, and Xu Muqiu did not panic. As a 996 worker who has been baptized by online articles, how can I not know that this treasure mirror will be his beloved relatives, friends, and siblings. It's just that at this moment, he still wants to know if this treasure mirror can add money!
Xu Muqiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the treasure mirror phantom in his hand. Take a closer look at it, there is a black gem dragon-shaped beast button embedded in the center of the back of the treasure mirror, and a circle of convex ridges divides the back of the mirror into two areas. In the inner area, there are six gemstones of various colors carved, and the beasts and phoenixes with different postures climb between the grape vines; The branches and leaves of the grapes in the outer area are interspersed with birds and bees and butterflies, and the edges are decorated with flowing cloud patterns. It's truly beautiful and ingenious!
Xu Muqiu was amazed, turned over the treasure mirror, looked at the front, the whole body was blue glass, it looked brilliant, and there was no gap in the mirror connection, as if it was one, it was natural!
Looking at the mirror again, Xu Muqiu unconsciously remembered the motto when he was single: "One day with a knife in hand, cut all the good-looking dogs in the world." Now, he just wants to be quietly "really fragrant", which is probably the adult world.
Having said that, Xu Muqiu tried to figure out the true use of the treasure mirror, and as soon as his mind moved, the blue mirror surface showed five big characters: "Daqian Merit Mirror!" Before he could react, another line of words appeared: "Those who accumulate kindness will have afterglow!" ”
Instantly, the mirror vanished, leaving only the warmth in his chest. He stroked the treasure mirror tattoo on his chest and slowly came back to his senses.
After Xu Muqiu came back to his senses, he first bowed three times to the place of rebirth, and said silently: "Xu Muqiu, you have not passed the catastrophe, so you have this difficulty; Although I borrowed my body to return my soul today, how do I know that Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, you and I are one, with similar names and different encounters, it is difficult to distinguish between the past and the present life. He also said: "In this life, it should be Xu Muqiu, the front edge is scattered, and the day is seized!" ”
With that, he strode forward and walked towards the Taoist temple in his memory. When I returned to the view, it was already the time when the moon and stars were sparse, and there was a person leaning on the door of the view.
"Master, are you back? I miss you! Although Xu Muqiu was a first-time man to see the old man, he was affected by both his memory and his own experience, and he felt very cordial to the old man, which reminded him of his maternal grandfather, so he couldn't help blurting out.
The white-haired old man smiled when he heard this, and seemed to think of something, turned his face flat, and said: "Apprentice, I have something to say when I come back today, the ten-year appointment has arrived, and the people of the Pingbei Hou Mansion have been waiting at the foot of Wudang Mountain for a long time, go home!" ”
Xu Muqiu never dreamed that this old man, who felt very cordial when he met, would only meet in a hurry and leave in a hurry just like he did when he first met!
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Muqiu walked out of the gate, looked up, and found that the master seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time, and couldn't help but have red eyes, and the old man smiled: "Don't be a little daughter, and go home with peace of mind, the master will definitely go to see you." Teach your kung fu to practice diligently, and it will be very beneficial in the future! ”
After speaking, the white-haired old man kicked the ground with both feet, only to see a step or more, and floated away.
Xu Muqiu looked at the old man who was far away, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the old man's departure.
After saying goodbye to his master in Wudang Mountain, Xu Muqiu met with the guards of the Hou Mansion who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain and set foot on the way home.
It's just that the only thing Xu Muqiu didn't expect was that there was a little hamster accompanying him in the car, no, a big girl who accompanied him!
This guy simply refreshed Xu Muqiu's cognition of the profession of maid, and along the way, he either kept talking and eating!
According to the little girl's self-introduction, she is a first-class big girl in Pingbei Hou Mansion, and she has been Xu Muqiu's personal big girl for ten years, and she is an old man in the house!
After hearing this, he looked confused, thinking that I have a personal big girl, and I don't know it to you yet!
Before Xu Muqiu could figure it out, he heard a scolding movement outside the carriage.
"You little girl who doesn't have long eyes, you just bumped into it like this, don't die!"
"Zhuxiang, go down and see, what's going on?" Xu Muqiu frowned and said.
