Chapter 54: The Seven-Star Sword
The old man was still not at ease, so he personally selected six young and vigorous Zhuang Ding to follow, and the heavy things were carried by them, such as iron pots, tents, etc.
Old Man Bai personally gave Zhang Luo some necessary items to go to Tianchi, such as cold-proof water clothes, dry food, and so on.
The water clothes are specially made, with high-quality fish skin waterproof on the outside and mink down on the inside, which is very lightweight.
Bai Longfei brought a handy weapon, a three-strand steel fork, and these three-strand steel forks fought in the water like a divine soldier.
Egret Fei brought a water-splitting thorn that had not been used for a long time, and carried some fragmentary treasure bags on his diagonal back.
In the end, the old lady took out the family heirloom, which was a rare treasure knife, a short knife to be exact, but slightly longer than a dagger.
The old man held the treasure knife with trembling hands, and said to Suo Ba very solemnly: "This knife is called the Seven Star Treasure Knife, which is the Han Dynasty's Great Situ Wang Yun, and Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo to borrow this knife, Cao Cao saw that the assassination could not be successful, and lied that he had to sacrifice the knife before he got out, and then it was transferred to my ancestors several times, and became the heirloom of my Bai family. ”
Suo Ba stretched out his hand and said, "This gift is too valuable, Suo Ba doesn't dare to accept it." ”
Old lady Bai said sincerely: "Don't shirk it, it's a piece of scrap iron in the Bai family, and you can still use it to come in handy, isn't it a good thing." ”
Hu Liuye stepped forward and said to Suo Ba: "Since Suo Ba has such good intentions, you can accept it!" If you bring the heron back well, it's better than anything else. ”
On the one hand, it was difficult to be warm, and on the other hand, what Hu Liuye said was reasonable, and Suo Ba had to laugh and accept it.
After tossing for most of the day, this team has grown a lot, and Hu Liuye left his adopted son Biaozi to Suo Ba as a helper.
Although this black monster is not very smart in the water, he has the ability to be a man with a pair of big slaps on land.
He has a big gun in his hand, and he can sweep thousands of troops and horses, and he has a natural chance of victory with more certainty.
Before parting, Hu Liuye took Suo Ba's hand and told him a thousand times, if you can take it, you can take it, if you can't take it, return it quickly, and then it's not too late to think about it in the long run, you must not change your life for your life!
The old man's meaning Suo Ba understood, to put it bluntly, he couldn't take another life in order to save one life, Suo Ba nodded again and again.
Hu Liuye didn't need to go into more detail when he went back, just said that Suo Ba and his party were more than ten people, with the Bai brothers and sisters as guides, going over mountains and mountains, walking mountain roads, crossing forests, wading rivers and bridges, and it took three days to arrive at Tianchi in Changbai Mountain.
At the foot of Changbai Peak, Suo 80 solemnly practiced the ritual of three bows and nine bows, and he was praying for God to bless them with great success.
Xiao Dunzi naturally echoed the worship behind Suo Ba, while the others were quite at a loss about the actions of the two.
The mysterious Tianchi is surrounded by white clouds, colorful waves and shadows, surrounded by peaks, which is very spectacular.
The water of Tianchi Lake is clear and turquoise, flat as a mirror; Sixteen strange and steep mountain peaks stand near the pond, reflecting the water and sparkling mountain shadows.
The clouds and fog above the Tianchi are unpredictable, sometimes the clouds and mist are elegant, such as the scene of drizzle and mist in spring and summer, sometimes the clouds collect and the fog converges, the sky is clear and clear, and the wonderful Tianchi landscape of the water is clear and clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy.
Tianchi hangs alone in the sky, there is no water inlet, only water outlet, the pool water flows out all year round, making people feel mysterious.
For a long time, it is said that there is a giant dragon lurking in the pool, and the long-flowing Tianchi water is the water spit out by the dragon, therefore, the Tianchi is also called Longtan, and the Tianchi water is worshiped as holy water.
Tianchi is a mountain lake formed by volcanic eruptions, with no vegetation and a treacherous natural environment; There is very little organic matter and plankton in the water.
There is also a more widespread legend, which is even more divine.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the water god Gonggong fought with the fire god Zhurong, and the Gonggong soldiers were defeated, and in a hurry, they hit the pillar of the sky with their heads in anger.
The collapse of the Heavenly Pillar caused the Heavenly Court to collapse, and the water of the Heavenly River poured into the world from the Tianhuo Peak, causing flooding, and Nuwa Niangniang created well-being for the people.
In the great wilderness, in the huge crater of the flames soaring to the sky and the magma tumbling under the nonsensical cliffs of the Buxian Mountain, the stubborn stones with a height of 12 zhang and a square meridian of 24 zhang were practiced, totaling 36,500 and 1 pieces.
The Wa Emperor clan used 36,500 of the five-colored stones to plug the gap, leaving only one unused.
A small gap was left so that the water of the heavenly court slowly flowed down the fertile irrigation world, forming a river that leads to the sky.
Everyone stood on the shore of Tianchi and only felt that the water vapor was pressing, the temperature in the northeast was lower than that in other regions, especially the water in Tianchi was deep and cold, and they suddenly felt cold all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but shiver from the inside out.
Since leaving Wang Tianjiao in Hu Liuye's house, this little dun seems to have lost his soul, and he hasn't said much along the way.
After a lot of hardships, I finally saw the Tianchi that I had been thinking about, and I stood by the water and touched the excitement of the small pier.
He opened his toad eyes wide and said loudly, "This is the Long Day Pool?" What a big bathtub! Starling, when are we going to go down and swim around? ”
Suo Ba said lightly: "You are a landlubber, you can't come up if you go down." ”
Xiao Dunzi said: "I'm talking about the front door building, you said the crotch shaft, humorous and humorous!" If this way is lifeless, not lonely, it is strange to die alone! ”
He turned his words and picked up Biaozi again, and he said to Biaozi: "I said black blind! How many pounds do you have with that big gun? Aren't you tired of carrying it all the time? It's better to be sold for scrap iron and drink for some wine. ”
Biaozi didn't understand what this dead winter melon meant, he just opened his big mouth and smirked at Xiao Dunzi.
There was still a shredded venison between his big yellow teeth, and most of the shredded venison was still lingering outside his mouth, and it looked disgusting.
Xiao Dunzi saw the shredded meat at a glance, and said to Biaozi: "You black blind man is not only a fool, but also a foodie, look at your mouth!" I still have the raw venison I just ate! How can you still regurgitate? ”
"Rumination" is the fact that some animals will return semi-digested food from the stomach to their mouths after eating for a period of time, such as domestic animals, cattle, sheep, etc.
Xiao Dunzi's use of the word "rumination" on Biaozi is naturally not a good word, that is, he is scolding Biaozi for being a livestock, and Biaozi naturally does not understand the meaning, but the others present fully understand.
Suo Ba reprimanded Xiao Dunzi: "Presumptuous, Xiao Dunzi, don't always bully Biao Zi to be honest, you say that he regurgitates it, isn't that scolding him for being a livestock?" You're too much, if I hear you insult Biaozi at will again, don't blame me for not sparing you, I cut off your tongue and fed it to the wolf, see if you still can't talk nonsense? ”
Xiao Dunzi trembled, thinking that the starling was really angry, he actually wanted to cut my tongue, once the tongue was cut off, then I couldn't speak, wouldn't I suffocate my little dun to death?
Thinking of this, Xiao Dunzi hurriedly said: "Brother Starling, don't be angry, I'm just teasing Biaozi!" How could they bully him? If you really cut out my tongue, you might as well let me shoot you a wild boar!" I cut off the boar's tongue and boiled it, and it was delicious to drink, and my tongue was stinky and hard and I didn't have any chew. ”
Xiao Dunzi's words made everyone laugh, and Biao Zi didn't know what others meant by laughing? Seeing others laughing, he also followed the hehe giggle, and the laughter was like the howl of a black blind man, with a little madness.
Suo Ba said with a cold face: "Let you go for the time being today, and if there is a next time, I will not spare it." ”
Xiao Dunzi stuck out his tongue and said, "My tongue is saved, I have to keep it for talking!" ”
Xiao Dunzi's words made everyone laugh again.
It's getting dark, and everything has to be done tomorrow after dawn.
Now only the camp is encamped, and the six villagers have their own division of labor, and some set up tents; Some set up pots and prepare for cooking; Some went to collect dry firewood, and there were many people who worked well, and everything was done in a moment.
When it comes to Zhuang Ding, I have to mention a Zhuang Ding named Bai Laohan, his person is as his name suggests, his face is honest and honest, and he is even more silent, and most of them greet people by nodding.
He always looked expressionless, no one had ever seen him cry, and no one had ever seen him smile, with a blank face.
Bai Laohan is not tall and thin, but he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and he rushes to do any physical work and dirty work.
With a large axe in his hand, he chopped wood and carried water.
Bai Lufei whispered to Suo Ba: "Bai Laohan has no father or mother since he was a child, and he has no surname or name, and my grandfather snatched it back from the wolf's mouth in the barren mountains and mountains. Listening to Grandpa Tai's story, a gray wolf was holding a calf of the baby boy in his mouth, and Grandpa Tai's hand flew quickly to a dart, and the gray wolf was about to kill the baby boy and save him. The tooth marks on the legs that the gray wolf had bitten are still there, maybe they were injured by the wolf's teeth, don't you see? He still walks with a slight limp. ”
Mrs. Bai took the child home to raise him, and the people of Baijiazhuang saw that he was honest since he was a child, so they all called him Bai Laohan.
Bai Laohan is grateful for the grace of Bai Laohan's reconstruction, so he is loyal to Bai Laohan of the Bai family, hard work, and countless blood has been shed for the Bai family, and the sweat can fill several large water tanks.
However, no matter how good the Bai family is to him, no matter how much the old lady Bai treats him as his own, in his heart, he is still the master and the servant, and he is very clear, and he never crosses the thunder pool by half a step.
His usual lack of speech may be directly related to his background, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is an extremely inferior person, and he always feels that he is from a humble background and is a lowly embryo with no family and no surname.
It's okay if you don't have a good background! It's just a lame person again, and I always feel three points shorter in front of others.
On weekdays, I am used to nodding my head and bowing my waist, and I don't dare to come out of the atmosphere, and I speak in a low voice.
In fact, no one in the Bai family looked down on him, but he always thought that others never looked at him properly.
The physical defects caused him to be unhealthy in his heart, and the shadow gradually magnified in his heart, causing him to not open his mouth to say half a word.
Keep in mind that most people who love to talk and laugh don't have many scheming, and people who tend to talk little are very deep.
The hidden scheming is elusive, it is even more terrifying, and there will be unexpected things in the future, which will happen to this seemingly loyal person, like a bomb exploding in Baijiazhuang.
