Chapter 21: The Great Tribulation Never Dies
It is said that Tianluo'er knew that his life was difficult to protect, and he did not want to fall into the hands of the red fox, suffered hardship, and jumped into the Jize water, only to see the yellow waves in the water, the hot bubbles were turbid, the body was like a fire, and the pain was burning, and the surface of the water was quiet, and there were many undercurrents under the water......
I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up, I saw that my eyes were cloudy and black, and I couldn't see clearly, and Tianluo'er thought to myself: "Could it be that I have reached the underworld?" ”
I thought again: "This place is gloomy and cold, and there must be no doubt that it is the underworld." However, how did this official in the underworld be on duty, he was so lazy, he didn't even give him an oil lamp, and asked me to go in the dark, and when I arrived in the Yama Palace, I would definitely sue them! He rubbed his eyes, but they were still dark.
I was about to get up, suddenly felt pain and numbness in my hands and feet, remembered that I had a fire fold on my body, and I felt that I would come out, this fire fold was wrapped in oil paper, not wet, and by the faint light, Tianluoer found that the left hemp shoes did not know where to go, the feet were bare, and the skin was broken and bloody, it must have been caused by the friction and collision with the wall stone when it flowed in the undercurrent just now, so he tore off a long cloth from the trouser leg, wrapped it around his feet, and held the fire fold to look around, and it turned out that he was washed into a stone cave by the undercurrent.
Tianluo'er held the fire fold in his hand, and walked to the depths of the cave, to go to the Yama Hall to complain, and was walking, and suddenly found that there was his own shadow reflected on the cave wall, and was surprised and delighted: "If there is a shadow, then it is not a little ghost, so in this way, I am still alive?" Writhing a few times towards the stone wall, the shadow writhed and stirred.
Tianluo'er was ecstatic, dancing with his hands, shouting and shouting, bowing and worshipping, kneeling on the ground, glad that he was really alive, and thought: "Miao Danchun said, that Ji Ze water is hot and hot, if a person falls into it, it will turn into white bones in an instant, how can I be fine?" ”
Suddenly, he felt that the cold on his body was not there, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that the cold poison in my body is attacking, and my body is cold, and the blazing heat of the boiling water is actually absorbed by the cold of the ice yuan in my body, and the two cancel each other, so it's okay?" Well, it must be! ”
He knelt on the ground again, wept and kowtowed, to thank his ancestors for his blessing, and suddenly thought that he didn't even know who his biological parents were, so how could he come from his ancestors? and thanked his father-in-law for their protection......
Tianluo'er said happily: "As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing." I really don't deserve to die, haha! He laughed a few times, took a broad step, and stepped into the cave.
Walked for a long time, Fang to the bottom of the cave, there is a stone table, a stone bench, a stone bed in front of you, there is a stone bowl of oil lamp on the table, there is half a bowl of fish fat lamp oil, a piece of hemp rope is used as a wick, there is a layer of dry grass on the stone bed, there is a stone jar, the tank is full of water, and there is a pile of ashes, it has been cold for a long time, there are some fish bones in the ashes, it seems that someone has lived here.
Tianluoer lights up the oil lamp, looks around, although the bottom of the cave is not big, but it is cleaned up in an orderly manner, it is very clean, one of the stone walls is chiseled with a strange mural, there are two people in the painting, one is Fuxi, one is Nuwa, all are human heads and snake bodies, two snake tails are entangled, standing next to each other, majestic and vigorous, lifelike, that Fuxi holds a "rule", Nuwa holds a "moment", the shape is very peculiar, I can't understand.
Tianluo'er shivered, and saw that the hair and clothes on his body were wet, no wonder Shicai felt very cold, took a few pieces of dry wood, and took a few dry grass from the stone bed as a fire, made a fire, took off his clothes and pants to bake, his body gradually warmed, and when his clothes and pants were dried, he felt hungry in his stomach.
Outside the cave undercurrent circulation, there are a lot of cod fish upstream, this kind of fish lives underground for a long time, the eyesight is degraded, and not afraid of people, Tianluoer stands on the side of the undercurrent, stretch out your hand to easily catch, scrape off the fish scales, cut open the belly of the fish, first eat the Danguo and jade paste inside, the Danguo is sweet like syrup, it is very delicious, but the jade paste is bitter and difficult to swallow, not very delicious.
After eating the danguo jade paste, put the fish body on the fire and grill it. Not long after, the fish is roasted, smell, the fragrance is tangy, chew in the mouth, the fat is overflowing, the taste is quite similar to the pork, the sky falls and the belly is very hungry, then the wind and clouds quickly eat up a whole, lick the tongue and lips, the meaning is still unfinished.
I went to fish and roasted again, and ate three in a row, and I felt full.
Tianluo'er ate and drank enough, lying on the stone bed, the hay under his body was thick and soft, very comfortable, and thought: "There is water and fish in this stone cave, and I don't have to worry about living for a year and a half, but I don't know what this senior did when he came to this ghost place, could it be that he suffered the same thing as himself, and was also washed here by the undercurrent?" If so, how did he get out? This water boils like hot soup, and it certainly doesn't swim out of the water, so there must be other outlets. But when I searched the bottom of the cave and searched for it, I couldn't find an exit, so I had to give up.
It is said that Miao Danchun waited all night in the Chinese medicine hall, and still did not see the return of Tianluo'er in the morning, so he went to Yushan alone to find, looking for a long time on the waterside of Jize, and did not see a human figure, and was afraid that the autumn wind would be injured, so he took the Danguo jade paste and returned, and waited for another day, still did not see the Tianluo'er return, and suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly informed Ji Yanyun of what happened, Ji Yanyun listened, and sent people to look around in the Xiaoxiao Palace, but did not find it, so he rode on the beast and rushed to the mountain.
Everyone came to the shore of Jize water, shouting and paging, but still did not see the figure of Tianluo'er, but saw Xiaobai wandering on the shore, roaring towards Zezhong, although Ji Yanyun cultivated deeply, but did not dare to go down to Jize water to find, so he asked Wei Lang: "You are the son of the river god, and you have the river god seal in your hand who is good at dancing and making waves, may you go down?" ”
Wei Lang bowed and apologized: "Thousands of seas and lakes, deep rivers and abysses, all small people can jump down, but this boiling soup and yellow water, I don't dare to die!" ”
Mu Nianjun asked, "Why is this?" ”
Wei Lang said: "Madame doesn't know, this Ji Ze is also called Tai Ze, it is the ancient period after Pangu opened the world, its body was transformed by a stream of bile, and then dissolved into a large amount of sulfur under the mountain, its water is yellow and rotten, like magma, no matter how deep your cultivation is, no matter how strong your skills are, once you fall into it, your skin will be fleshy and become white bones with a snap of your fingers." ”
The sand camel asked, "Has anyone ever gone down?" ”
Wei Lang pondered for a long time and said: "As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, only the Yellow Emperor has dived under the water to obtain jade paste to entertain guests from all over the world. ”
When Mu Nianjun heard this, he was shocked and said: "That Luo'er is ......" said and hid his face and wept.
Ji Yuecian said: "Mother, this matter is only to blame Tianluo'er herself, obviously her skills are not as good as others, but she insists on being strong, and people are not saved, but they take their own lives in vain, and it makes us anxious and worried......"
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and before Ji Yuecia finished speaking, Ji Yanyun raised his hand and slapped him, and said angrily: "This is all because of you!" If you hadn't messed around in the ring, Qiu Feng wouldn't have been injured, and Luo'er wouldn't have been in danger alone! ”
Ji Yuecian didn't expect that her father had loved him in every way since he was a child, and he had never done it, but today he would beat himself in public for a skyfall, and he was stunned for a while, and everyone was shocked, and he didn't dare to persuade him.
After a while, that Ji Yuecicada came back to her senses, covered her swollen face, turned around and cried away, Wei Lang saw it, followed her, and Mu Nianjun also wanted to comfort her daughter, but was stopped by Ji Yanyun, Ji Yanyun's anger did not subside, and said: "Let her go, tricky and willful, only I am selfish!" ”
Mu Nianjun had never seen Ji Yanyun so angry, so he stopped and said softly: "Cicada she is such a ......"
Ji Yanyun interrupted: "You don't intercede for her, it's all because of your doting and indulgence that you will have today!" ”
Mu Nianjun knew that he was at a loss, he was stunned in place, his face was embarrassed, and when Elder Baishi saw this, he stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Don't be angry, the lord of the country has not found Tianluo'er's body yet, don't speculate, maybe he has returned to the Xiaoxiao Palace along another road, why don't I wait to go back and take a look." Miao Danchun, Sand Camel and others also echoed.
Ji Yanyun shook his head and said: "Luo'er and that Xiaobai are inseparable, they have never been separated, and now that Xiaobai is here, I believe that Luo'er must still be in this mountain." Gazing at the yellow mist and the surging waves, he sighed sadly: "I'm afraid he has already ...... Buried under the water......" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and closed his eyes, and wept and wept.
For a long time, he ordered someone to take the spirit card, table, incense and candles, dark paper, mourning clothes, pigs, cattle and sheep and other sacrificial things, and set up a altar near Ji Ze water, Ji Yanyun personally wrote: The spiritual position of my child. Standing on the table, placing offerings, lighting candles and incense, wearing mourning clothes, leading the people to kneel and wail to mourn the soul of Tianluo'er......
After the memorial service was over, Ji Yanyun and the others were about to return, but they saw the little white lying on the shore of the Jize water, refusing to leave...... It waited for itself and led everyone back to the Xiaoxiao Palace.
