8. Lingshan Ancient Tomb

Zhang Wannian picked up the fallen waist card on the ground, and found that the waist card was engraved with the two big characters "West Wind", he was puzzled and handed the waist card to Yao Banxian.

Yao Banxian couldn't care about it anymore, he put the waist card in his arms, picked up the old man and ran out of the door, at this time there was a fish white belly in the sky in the east, and the morning star was extremely bright.

When they came to Yao Banxian's "Yin Yang Palace", they checked the old man's injuries and found that the old man's back was scratched very deeply by the sharp claws, and the eight wounds were bleeding nonstop.

The blood was purple-blue, and there were two dark palm prints on his chest, which he was afraid that he had injured his internal organs or broken his ribs.

Yao Banxian's internal strength is still shallow, and he can't help the old man push the luck of the palace and regulate his qi and blood, so he asked Ding Jien to find some salt water, cleaned the wound on the old man's back, and let the old man lie on the Tai Chi bed in the "Yin Yang Palace".

Yao Banxian looked at the unconscious old man, his eyes were slightly sour, and he sighed: "That man in black's kung fu is so vicious, whether this bad old man can escape this catastrophe depends on his creation......

As he spoke, Yao Banxian turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, he had mixed feelings in his heart, after all, along the way, the two of them lived and died together, and shared weal and bene, although they didn't know themselves, but they were also his brothers, thinking of this, tears blurred his eyes again......

Xia Yulong stayed by the old man's side every day, during this time he was in a very complicated mood, his grandfather was seriously injured and his life was not guaranteed in order to save him, and he felt deeply remorseful for his reckless behavior.

Every day, Xia Yulong helps his grandfather boil medicine, feeds his grandfather with medicine, and takes care of his grandfather very carefully and thoughtfully.

Every day when Yao Banxian came to the "Yin Yang Palace" to give acupuncture to the old man, the one hundred and thirty-four acupuncture points of the Sun Bladder Meridian were pricked by silver needles, and dredged all over the place, but the old man not only woke up, but his body became colder and colder day by day, and gradually he couldn't even swallow the medicine.

Yao Banxian was anxious, feeling helpless, he wanted to find Feng Qingsan to save the old man's life, but thinking that this time he was alone in Yin Mountain, he hesitated a little, and stood by the window for a long time before he sighed sadly, no one knew what he really thought in his heart......

That night, Zhang Wannian broke into the leopard head shop with Yao Banxian with the strength of wine, and afterwards he regretted it, and he was also panicked all day long, afraid that the man in black would come to the door to retaliate, he sent his daughter Zhang Xian to Yao Banxian's "Yin Yang Palace" to hide, and he and his wife were not out of the door, and they were temporarily isolated from the outside world.

Zhang Wannian thought, the matter has come to this, it is a day to be able to escape, it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, if the man in black really comes to the door, it is also a fateful thing, no one is to blame, he just hopes that his daughter Zhang Xian is safe and sound.

Zhang Xian watched Xia Yulong in the "Yin Yang Palace" in a hurry, but he couldn't get busy, and occasionally comforted Xia Yulong and said: "Brother Yulong, don't be sad, grandpa is just tired, he just wants to rest and rest, he will be able to wake up soon......"

Xia Yulong looked at Zhang Xian but didn't speak, but he was very grateful in his heart, hearing Zhang Xian's comfort, he felt even more uncomfortable, how good it would be if grandpa was really tired, he could be coquettish on grandpa's body, pinch grandpa's nose, tickle grandpa's itch, but looking at grandpa who was unconscious and his body was gradually cold, he knew that grandpa was not tired, this time he was in a big disaster, and his grandfather who loved him might leave him forever, he became more and more sad, squatting in the corner and sobbing alone......

Zhang Xian quietly stayed by Xia Yulong's side and never left for a moment.

Ten days later, the old man woke up leisurely on the Tai Chi bed, looking at his grandfather who woke up, Xia Yulong was so happy, he hugged his grandfather and couldn't cry anymore.

After this toss, Xia Yulong became a lot more sensible, and immediately assured his grandfather that he would never be reckless in doing things in the future, and just wait for his grandfather to rest and recuperate, and then go back to the Lingshan Ancient Tomb with his grandfather.

Yao Banxian said angrily: "You bad old man, you have been to the underworld for a while, and you finally know that you are back, and I have even prepared your shroud for you, which has made us ...... these days."

Although there was a slight reproach in his words, Yao Banxian's hanging heart finally fell, and his whole person became refreshed, and he only took a bath once a month, and he washed all the dirt on his body that night.

The old man breathed for a moment before he slowly talked about the time he had been unconscious.

That day, when Yao Banxian was about to step into the door with the old man on his back, he was stopped by a pair of men and women in the underworld, who said to the man and woman that his five organs had been shattered anyway, and he couldn't survive, so he would go up to Yin Mountain with them.

The old man said to the couple that he still had to take care of his grandson, who had not yet grown up, and he didn't want to leave with them now, and the man and woman saw that Yao Banxian was about to step into the threshold, and they threw out the lock hook to clasp the old man's collarbone.

The old man's soul floated out of his body, and he could no longer possess him, and he was tightly supported by the pair of men and women and walked up to Yin Mountain step by step.

When they came to the "Ice Dragon Cave", the man and woman handed over the old man to Feng Qingsan and said, "Lord, the people have been brought." ”

Feng Qingsan waved his hand and said, "You all go down." ”

The pair of men and women hugged each other and said "yes", and they had turned into two white birds and flew out of the "Ice Dragon Cave", the old man was very surprised, and asked Feng Qingsan: "Why did you bring me back again, is it that my longevity is over?" ”

Feng Qingsan smiled slightly and said, "I'm bored, I'm looking for you to drink two glasses of wine." ”

The old man said with pity: "I was attacked by the man in black at the leopard's head shop, and I was seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't survive......"

Feng Qingsan smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The old man hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Alas, I can go wherever I am old, but I am most assured that the kid, if the kid can support himself, I don't have to worry about it." ”

Feng Qingsan said: "Because of this, you can't leave now......

As he spoke, Feng Qingsan asked the old man to sit cross-legged on the big rock, closing his eyes and thinking, without distractions.

Feng Qingsan walked around the old man's back, only to see him put his hands together, luck exerted, and a flame ignited between the palms of his hands, and he aimed his palms at the two acupuncture points of the old man's soul gate and Qi Haiyu, and hit it again and again.

The old man couldn't bear to gag, and spat out a stream of black blood from his mouth, and the grass and trees where the blood sprayed turned into nothing.

Feng Qingshan injected the "Three Flavors True Fire" into the old man's body again.

The old man suddenly felt that his internal organs were protected by a true qi, the pain in his chest was greatly reduced, and his body became comfortable and light.

The old man followed Feng Qingsan's instructions, silently recited the mantra of relieving his heart, and after a moment of breathing, puffs of white smoke came out of his head.

In the dark, I heard Feng Qingsan say: "All living beings, each return to its roots, good and evil in the world will eventually be rewarded...... When the old man slowly opened his eyes, Yao Banxian, Xia Yulong and Zhang Xian were already beside him to take care of his afterlife.

Yao Banxian scratched his head and thought: "No wonder when I was about to step into the door with you on my back that day, the feeling stick in my hand Weiwei trembled, I said that the man in black was chasing after me, at that time I was guilty, thinking to myself, if the man in black chased me, can I withstand it alone......

At this point, Yao Banxian said "um", nodded and said: "Afterwards, I thought, if the gratitude stick really has a sense of the man in black, why can't it be sent out in the leopard's head shop......"

Saying that, Yao Banxian let out a long sigh, he looked at the people present and said: "After all, you have formed a bond with the man in black, after you return to the ancient tomb, I wonder if the man in black will be killed?" ”

Yao Banxian looked at Xia Yulong and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see Grandpa Yao by then......"

The old man looked at Yao Banxian and said: "If the man in black really wants you and me, he will definitely not put a needle to extinguish the candle in the hands of you and Zhang Wannian, he could have locked his throat with a needle and ended your life ...... me."

Xia Yulong answered: "Grandpa Yao, the man in black must be looking for something, if you want to say that he only has a grudge with the family surnamed Huang, he can't make a feud with someone else's family." ”

Yao Banxian said "um" and said, "It's not unreasonable, if he locked his throat with a needle that night, Zhang Wannian and I would have to die in Huangquan obediently......"

Suddenly, Yao Banxian sighed, took out a yellow wooden waist card from his arms, and said: "This fell from the man in black, the waist card is engraved with the word West Wind, I thought about it for a long time, do you think it is related to the West Wind Clan?" ”

The old man took the waist card, carefully studied it in his hand, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is this waist card really dropped on the man in black?" ”

Yao Banxian said: "It's true, when Zhang Wannian reached out to pull the man in black, this waist card was falling from the waist of the man in black. ”

Xia Yulong responded and said, "Grandpa, I also saw that the waist card fell from the man in black. ”

The old man clenched the waist card in his hand, the expression on his face was even more solemn, he fell into deep thought again, and half-sounded, he wondered: "This is strange, what is the relationship between the Huang family and the West Wind clan?" Is the destruction of this family surnamed Huang the work of the West Wind Clan, and what does Li Mufeng have to do with this? ”

The old man was suspicious of his rebirth, and an ominous omen enveloped him, and he always felt that something big was going to happen next, and he couldn't tell what it was......

The old man stayed in Yao Banxian's house for a few more days, and after this period of recuperation, he was as strong as ever.

Yao Banxian was not idle, he practiced the illusion technique taught to him by Feng Qingsan, and the old man taught him some mantras for cultivating internal strength and fists and feet, and the two blended and helped each other.

The old man nodded and smiled, "If the man in black really comes to the door, it will be enough to deal with him." ”

Xia Yulong and Zhang Xian followed Yao Banxian and the old man all day long, but they also learned some kung fu, and the two already had each other in their hearts......

Early that morning, the old man and Xia Yulong left Longgu Town, and they took the main road.

Out of Longgu Town to the west, you need to climb over several mountains, the yellow leaves on the mountains have fallen, the roadside is overgrown with dry grass, and a cold current is invading from the north to the south.

When crossing the first small gold mountain, the old man stood for a long time and looked at the ancient town of Long.

The fog was shrouded in the sky over Longgu Town, and the fog was like a huge cotton ball pressed down low, and then he turned his head to look up at Yin Mountain, which was tall and straight, and was wrapped in thick fog, which added a touch of mystery.

The ancients often said that the mountain is not deceived by the water, but the old man thinks that the water cannot be bullied, and the mountain cannot be bullied, he bowed deeply to Yin Mountain, and pulled Xia Yulong into the vast mountain.

Before going out, Yao Banxian prepared some coils and clothes for the old man and Xia Yulong, and the old man knew that if he didn't move again, he would have to take the secret road after the heavy snow closed the mountain.

The dark passage is dark and damp, and he has not set foot in it for ten years, I am afraid that some places have collapsed, if he is trapped in the dark passage, it is also a troublesome thing, it is better to take the road neatly, but it is a last resort for him to take the dark passage with Xia Yulong in his arms.

The old man wanted to leave Xia Yulong to learn Taoism with Yao Banxian in Longgu Town, but Xia Yulong refused to live or die, he just wanted to follow his grandfather and learn boxing and foot kung fu with his grandfather.

The old man weighed it again and again, if the man in black really came to the door, Yao Banxian would definitely be able to protect himself, but Yulong was young and weak, if the man in black threatened him, Yao Banxian would definitely suffer, and it would not be too late for Yulong to learn his skills when he was older.

The two walked side by side, and from time to time they saw a white skeleton in the dead grass, and a group of black crows stood on the white bones but did not move, and the terrible croaking sound resounded through the mountains, and it was very terrifying and strange in the silent valley.

Instead of being afraid, Xia Yulong raised crows, he picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the group of crows, one of which was disturbed and flapped its wings and flew high into the air.

The other crows rose into the air, their terrible cries sending tingling down their spines.

Xia Yulong clapped his hands and shouted: "All fly away, all fly away......"

Looking at the white bones all over the ground, the old man was very surprised, and he thought that these white bones were the people who had fled.

The old man found a dead branch, approached the bones, and reached out the dead branches to turn between the bones, and the clothes on the bones had rotted into dirt.

A white object was found in the shallow soil pressed by a white bone, and the old man picked up the object, which was a piece of jade.

The jade was the size of the waist card that fell from the man in black, and the word "West Wind" was engraved on the jade.

The old man wiped the piece of jade with the corner of his clothes, and the jade became white and shiny, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "It's really sad that there is no place for them to live in the huge northwest land......"

All the way, there were a lot of white bones, and seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the old man carried Xia Yulong on his back and sped up his pace.

When he came to the foot of Lingshan, he suddenly heard a commotion in the grass in front of him and stopped making a sound.

The old man's face sank, he became alert, and said in his heart: "Is it a human or a ghost?" He protected Xia Yulong in front of him, took out the shovel on his back, and shouted: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, you have the ability to show up." As he spoke, he walked over quietly.

When the old man turned over the weeds, there was a wolf den in front of him, and three wolf cubs were huddled in the nest to keep warm.

The old man's sense of pity arose spontaneously, he remembered the vicious wolves that he had fought with the four big men ten years ago, I don't know if they were still alive in the world, he was about to reach out to touch the three wolf cubs, but he heard a scream of "ah", Xia Yulong jumped up, and hugged the old man's thighs tightly with his hands.

The old man was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to see that a she-wolf was standing majestically behind him with her ears erect, and she was in an attacking posture, ready to rush up and bite his grandfather and grandson.

Seeing the old man's face, the she-wolf's vicious eyes instantly softened, but it still stood still, as if it was still thinking about something.

The old man looked at the she-wolf, and the familiar face flashed in his mind, and he had a bottom in his heart.

It was the youngest wolf that night with the four big men, and the old man blew a whistle, and saw the she-wolf lying on the ground and spoiling.

The old man stepped forward, caressing its head, and caressing the scar on the corner of its right eye, which had been cut by the long sword in the patriarch's hand that night.

If the long sword is moved down another half a foot, where is there still this eye, the old man's heart is sour, and he can't help but burst into tears.

When the old man asked where the other companions were, the she-wolf howled with her eyes in her back.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yulong was stunned.

The old man said: "Yulong, come here, this wolf is kind to us, and we will be a family in the future." ”

Xia Yulong walked over as if he didn't understand, he leaned down and stroked the she-wolf, who stretched out her tongue and gently licked Xia Yulong's little hand.

The old man saw that Xia Yulong liked it very much, and said, "Can you give it a name?" ”

Xia Yulong stroked the scar on the she-wolf's face, he thought for a moment and said, "It has this scar on its face, so it's called Scar." ”

The night gradually sank, the old man hugged the two little wolves, Xia Yulong also held the other little wolf, they moved the nest for the she-wolf, and "Scar" walked up to the Lingshan side by side with the grandfather and grandson.

Halfway up the Lingshan Mountain, I saw several huge stone tablets standing in front of me from a distance, and when I got closer, I saw that the handwriting of the stone tablet was blurred, and the age was very old.

After passing the stone monument, you enter a canyon, and zigzag up the canyon ladder, which is narrow and steep, and can only accommodate the body of one person.

Xia Yulong walked at the front, being whipped forward by the old man, Scar walked at the back, it looked around from time to time, and it reacted instinctively and was very alert along the way.

Walk more than 1,000 steps, come to an open place, there is a huge stone gate standing in front of you, there are two huge stone pillars standing next to the stone gate, the stone pillars are carved with some strange things, there are monsters with human faces and lion bodies, there are also monsters with animal faces, and some similar to the sun and moon patterns.

The two put the three little wolves next to the stone pillar, Xia Yulong's curiosity was great, he stood by the stone pillar and looked at it for a long time, he was surprised in his heart, turned to the old man and said, "Grandpa, there is something in this stone pillar, I seem to be able to understand the pattern in this stone pillar." ”

The old man turned his head to look at the stone pillars, and he walked over and stroked the two large stone pillars with his hand, the stone pillars were extremely hard and cold, and there was something hidden.

The old man has been facing this stone pillar for decades, and he has long been accustomed to the things on the stone pillar, he thought, Yulong will inevitably be whimsical when he sees these strange things for the first time, he hummed, and said: "It's not strange to see too much, come and take a hand and find some dry grass." ”

Xia Yulong looked around and ran towards a pile of dead grass on the edge of the cliff, but he didn't know that his right foot slipped off the cliff, and the scar instantly pounced, biting the corner of Xia Yulong's clothes, and the fog under his feet was dark and bottomless.

The old man's face changed greatly, fortunately with the help of Scar, he rushed up and carried Xia Yulong out of the cliff.

The naughty Xia Yulong was frightened, and he collapsed to the ground for a long time.

The old man took some dead branches and dead grass, piled them together, and used a shovel to clear the weeds on the right side of the stone gate, and a cave was exposed, which was large enough for seven or eight adult wolves.

Then the old man used a shovel to remove the grass and trees in the cave, put the branches and dead grass in the cave, and sent the three little wolves into the hole, and said to himself, "This will be your home from now on." As he spoke, he looked at Scar and whistled.

Scar, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, sniffed at the old man's side, and then went into the hole to feed the three little wolf cubs.

Xia Yulong looked at the edge of the cave for a while, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, it's so obedient." ”

The old man said: "I was scared just now, if it wasn't for Scar to save you, where would Grandpa look for you, you must be good to Scar in the future!" ”

Xia Yulong curled his mouth and nodded violently: "Got it, grandpa......"

The old man looked around and said, "Don't run around, there are cliffs everywhere, and there is only one road to the back mountain, and don't go to the back mountain to play." ”

Xia Yulong pointed to the stone gate and said, "Grandpa, is this the Lingshan Ancient Tomb?" ”

The old man replied: "This is the main gate of the Lingshan Ancient Tomb, and there are several side gates on the back mountain, I will take you there later." ”
