Volume 2 Chapter 4: The Uninvited Guest
At the beginning of the day, there was a vast white mist in the mountains, and Ling Xuanxin got up very early and came to the river with a bucket. This is part of his daily boring life, because since he can remember, every day is to carry water, chop wood, Zama step, plum blossom pile, life without a trace of waves, probably the only wave is to interact with friends under the cliff or chase a lost butterfly, save a stranded fish.
In short, every day is accompanied by the mountains and rivers in the forest, the wind and the sun and the moon, and of course, all kinds of animals in the forest, playing with them is the only pleasure in leisure time, as for the outside world, only in the story of the master to peek into one or two. As for what the world outside was like, Ling Xuanxin hadn't thought about it, and he didn't know when he would be able to go out of this mountain.
Today, Ling Xuanxin came to the river, and suddenly saw a rabbit tiptoeing in the grass to forage for food, Ling Xuanxin suddenly became interested and ran towards the rabbit. The rabbit also found the abnormality smartly, and fled quickly towards the forest, and Ling Xuanxin followed for a while, and the rabbit ran into the forest and disappeared.
"Help, help—"
When Lingxuan was depressed, suddenly there was a cry for help in the forest, Lingxuanxin followed the sound to find it, only to see a young man and a tiger were confronting, the tiger was looking at it fiercely, as if the next second this was a feast in the belly, the young man at this time was also trembling with fright, not daring to move, holding a long sword opposite it, the sword was not unsheathed, it seemed that the young man was very scared, and both sides looked at each other vigilantly.
At this time, the tiger pounced forward, and when he saw that he was knocking the person down, a stone fell from the sky and hit the tiger's head. Apparently the stone hurt the tiger a lot, and the tiger shook its head and quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Thank you, little fairy, dare to ask the little fairy." The young man swept away the embarrassment just now, bowed straightly, and asked humbly.
"You admit that I am wrong, I am not an immortal, the master said that I am a Zen person, and a Zen person does not enter the world, does not ask about cause and effect, regardless of life and death. I saved you, I have already committed a taboo, sir better go down the mountain as soon as possible. Lingxuan saved him in a hurry, he shouldn't have saved people, but now there is no way out, so he can only let the young man go down the mountain.
"I am Qingcheng Gu's chivalrous, my name is Gu Junji, just call me Xiaoji, Qingcheng under the mountain suffered from the plague the year before last, and many people died, and then a traveling doctor came, saved the whole city, and was regarded as a guest by the city lord, worshiped as a divine doctor, and responded to requests. But the strange thing is that since he took the throne, the city lord has been ill, and the people of the entire Qingzhou City who have been tossed by him have no livelihood, and the cruelty is even worse than the plague. Knowing that there was an old fairy on the mountain, he specially invited the old fairy to come out of the mountain to save the people of the city. ”
Ling Xuanxin stopped talking, turned around and left, without looking back.
"If the little fairy doesn't agree, Xiao Ji will be buried in this mountain."
Ling Xuanxin still didn't look back, and left.
"This person is really boring, he told me not to go, not to go, not to go, not to go, then go or not to go, then it's up to you, if you meet the tiger again, you won't see me."
Ling Xuan thought and unconsciously quickened his pace, and disappeared from the young man in a moment.
Ling Xuan didn't go back to the river, he just wanted to hurry up and bring the water back, this is the first important thing, as for whether he wants to admit his mistake to the master, he hasn't thought about it yet, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, anyway, the young man shouldn't be able to go down the mountain, then I won't be saved if I meet me again, he thinks so.
Lingyin Temple has a rule since ancient times, not to enter the mortal world, not to ask about cause and effect, regardless of life and death, because they are born with more important things to do. They don't belong to the ranks of mortals, of course, they are not among the immortals, in the eyes of Ling Xuanxin, they are just a little stronger than ordinary people. If you ask about cause and effect, you will mess up cause and effect. Master often taught him this, and he remembered it in his heart, and when he thought of this, he actually regretted it a little.
Let's go back first, Ling Xuanxin picked the bucket and walked towards the temple, just passing by the cliff, there was a sudden change in the forest, this time it was two tigers, one of which was smashed on the head, it seems that this is the narrow road to seek revenge.
But Ling Xuanxin is only five years old, how can he be the opponent of two tigers, not to mention that in addition to his usual strength, he has not learned combat skills, so he can only rely on brute force. It seems that this time it is more auspicious, and Master should not want to blame it.
Ling Xuanxin put down the bucket vigilantly, and put his hands in a defensive posture, ready to face his evil enemy. On the other hand, although the two tigers were strong, they did not dare to act rashly at this time, so one person and two tigers confronted each other.
The two tigers were pacing cautiously, as if looking for the best opportunity, when suddenly one of the tigers pounced first, and Ling Xuanxin dodged to avoid this attack. Thanks to the fact that he has never been lazy when he usually walks the plum blossom pile, his body is also extremely flexible when he encounters a crisis, and he can resolve an attack with just a flash.
At this time, Ling Xuan's heart was more engrossed, for fear that if he was not careful, he would become a delicacy for the tiger. After a failure, the two tigers were also cautiously tempted, for fear of missing an opportunity to attack.
Suddenly another tiger pounced on him, Ling Xuanxin dodged the situation, grabbed the tiger's tail, jumped on the tiger's back, the tiger jumped on the cliff like crazy, Ling Xuanxin also grabbed the tiger's neck tightly, and didn't dare to let go, just like that, one person and one tiger struggled for a long time, until both of them were out of breath and had no energy to move.
At this time, the other tiger saw that he couldn't break free, and he also pounced on Ling Xuanxin, Ling Xuanxin's heart was half cold, this time I am afraid that he couldn't dodge, the other tiger was very fast, and under the strong impact, one person and one tiger rolled down the cliff.
"Ahh
In the rapid fall, Ling Xuanxin suddenly felt that he was wrapped around his waist by a huge vine, and he was pulled violently, and a pain that pierced his heart spread throughout his body. It was then quickly pulled up and landed next to a cave on a cliff.
