The villages in Tibetan Mountain are divided into three villages separated by a small stream, and the villagers call it Bailong Creek because the stones in the creek are mostly white. The woodcutter and his family live in the smallest village, Longxi North Village, where most of the people are woodcutters, hunters and beekeepers. The woodcutter's woman prepared lunch early and waited outside the house, and when she saw the woodcutter returning, she came out to greet her with joy. The woodcutter unloaded the firewood, handed the basket to his wife, and said, "Today there is a distinguished guest, here are the three dozen golden chickens, divide one of us, and then pack up a house for their little couple to live in!" ”。

Hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan and Helian Yunxiu hurriedly shouted: "Who is husband and wife with her (him)!! ”

The woodcutters looked at them in amazement and asked, "What are you?" Sibling? ”

Tuoba Hongxuan said embarrassedly: "It's nothing! ”

Helian Yunxiu said: "It's an ordinary friend!" ”

The woodcutter's wife asked in surprise, "Then how can these two live in the same room?" ”

Tuoba Hongxuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, pull a thread on the big tree outside, and I'll sleep outside!" Just enough to keep a vigil for you! ”

The woodcutter said, "Ouch, childe, the mountains are not a safe place at night, and if you sleep outside, you will not be afraid of snakes, and wild beasts will come to you?" ”。 The woodcutter's wife also nodded yes, and urged him vigorously.

Tuoba Hongxuan smiled: "Don't worry, you two, I lived alone in the mountains when I was a child, so I'm not afraid!" ”

Helian Yunxiu asked curiously, "Did you ever live alone in the mountains when you were a child?" What about your family? ”

Tuoba Hongxuan said bitterly: "It's all gone......."

Helian Yunxiu looked at him sympathetically and said, "Alas, I can't remember who my parents were, although my later father said that my mother died to protect me when she fled, and I didn't know where I was for several years, but I really didn't have any impression ...... at all."

The old woman of the woodcutter hurriedly came up and comforted her: "Alas, they are all miserable children! As long as there is still war in the world, we ordinary people will not have a good life, and there will be no shortage of displaced children, so I just hope that there will be no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it will be too peaceful and happy! After speaking, he led the two into the house.

Helian Yunxiu helped the woodcutter's old wife clean up the brood chicken and other dishes, while Tuoba Hongxuan and the woodcutter went to other villages to find the village chief to ask for rain. Tuoba Hongxuan inspected the topography of the village while walking, and I have to say that the locations of these villages are excellent in the mountains. Tuoba Hongxuan asked: "Uncle, this Tibetan mountain should have plenty of rain all year round, this year's situation is very special, right?" ”

The woodcutter nodded and said, "Don't tell the boy, this is the second time I have encountered a drought in the Tibetan Mountains since I was born. ”

Tuoba Hongxuan asked curiously, "When was the first time?" What caused it? ”

The woodcutter sighed and said, "The first time was when I was thirty years old, when something happened in the village, a woman who looked like a rich family fled to the brook east of our village with a baby in her arms. At that time, everyone in the village heard the woman's cry for help, but no one dared to go out to care! Therefore, there was a great drought in the Tibetan mountains that year, and many people in the village contracted strange diseases and died. Everyone said that it was the woman's revenge, and later, the old man in the village invited a master of the Tao to resolve the disaster! The bamboo forest in the east was planted by the masters back then, and in order to suppress the unjust soul, no one dares to enter it until now! As he spoke, the woodcutter pointed out to Tuoba Hongxuan to see the bamboo forest.

After a while, the woodcutter took Tuoba Hongxuan to the house of the village chief of the West Village, whose yard was larger than that of other families, and his surname was Zhan. The village chief politely introduced Tuoba Hongxuan into the inner room, only to see that there were already a few people sitting inside. The village chief introduced separately that it turned out that Kou Qianzhi would arrive early tomorrow morning, and now all those who came were his disciples.

Tuoba Hongxuan sat down with the woodcutter, only to hear a Fang Shi surnamed Liu ask, "Where does this son come from?" ”

Tuoba Hongxuan smiled slightly and said: "I originally came to collect a kind of herb in the mountain, but this herb can only be picked when it rains, and I heard that the old woodcutter said that you should ask for rain in the near future, and I was curious, so I wanted to stay and pray for the Tibetan mountain!" ”。

Another Taoist priest surnamed Zeng asked again: "I don't know what medicine the son is asking for?" ”

Tuoba Hongxuan said: "A friend of mine is injured and needs to use the medicine to build muscle and decompose, and I heard that there is a strange medicine on the Tibetan Mountain, called Nirvana, so I came to find it!" ”

Hearing this, both the village chief and the woodcutter exclaimed, "Nirvana! ”

Fang Shiqi, surnamed Liu, said: "What's wrong with this medicine? Why are you so looking? ”

The woodcutter hurriedly said: "There is indeed this medicine in this mountain, but this medicine is not a good thing, and the older generation will burn it up when they see it!" ”

A Fang Shi surnamed Li also interjected: "Why is this? ”

The village chief said: "This nirvana can indeed grow muscle and decay, but its pollen and seeds can 'resurrect' dead things, which is a taboo that our village does not dare to touch!" ”。

Tuoba Hongxuan asked, "Nirvana has such a miraculous effect!" That's not a great thing! ”

The village chief hurriedly said: "What is good, can the dead be completely resurrected?" No, all who are resurrected are devils! Eats people! ”

The Taoist priest surnamed Zeng asked with interest: "There is still this matter!" Village Chief, tell me more about it! ”

The village chief, surnamed Zhan, sighed and said, "In the past, our fathers always told us not to touch the 'Nirvana', one is because most of this herb grows on the cliffs on the top of the mountain, which is quite dangerous when picking, and one is prone to accidents if we are not careful!" The second is that the older generation of people say that this herb was deliberately planted by someone, not a person, but a demon, and it was the devil who used it to resurrect the corpse! ”。 The village chief's words made Tuoba Hongxuan can't help but think of the secret technique of the soul dementor, but I don't know if it has something to do with this!

The Taoist chief surnamed Zeng asked again: "Then the village chief, have you really seen the resurrected corpse?" ”

The village chief glanced at the woodcutter, who was busy bowing his head and drinking tea, and the village chief said, "I've seen it, it's terrifying!" ”

Fang Shi, surnamed Liu, hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on?" Village Chief, you might as well make it clear, and when Kou Tianshi comes, I can think of a perfect way for you! ”

The village chief hesitated for a long time before he said, "Well, that was when we were young, and a woman fled from the village with a baby in her arms. Originally, everyone also planned to take this woman in, and hid her, but then the people who pursued her came and slaughtered the village if they didn't hand them over. The big guy had no choice but to throw the mother and son out, and you can guess the result! Alas! It's also a sin, and everyone doesn't dare to collect the body for this mother and son. A few of the brave men in the village proposed to throw the bodies of the mother and son under the cliff, and after a hundred years, on a rainy day, the men did so, but the woman came back in the night, still holding her child. The whole village was terrified! Moreover, after the resurrection, this woman seems to be very different from before......".

Zeng Daochang hurriedly asked, "Why is it different?" ”

The woodcutter continued, "What to say! can fly and jump, the strength is endless, and several strong men in the village have died in her hands! That scene was really scary! ”。

The village chief said, "Yes! Fortunately, a master passed by the Tibetan Mountain and helped our village get rid of this scourge! ”

Fang Shi surnamed Liu asked, "Which Taoist is it?" ”

The woodcutter replied, "It seems to be called Ning Yuandao!" After hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan remembered that the Taoist who died in the battle of the Imperial Tomb was called Ning Yuan, who was Meng Jingyi's master, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it.

Fang Shi surnamed Li asked, "This brother, why do you sigh?" ”。

Tuoba Hongxuan replied: "It's okay, it's just a sigh that I don't have a chance to see Daoist Ning Yuan again at this time!" ”

Zeng Daochang said: "Daoist Ning Yuan is the high Dao of the Southern Fulu Sect, he travels all over the world on weekdays, relieves the people from suffering, and is also a good friend with my master Kou Tianshi, but I don't know where his old man is now!" ”。
