Chapter 133: It turned out to be a misunderstanding
Due to the expulsion of the wolves at night, You Ziji had already deviated from the direction of his original journey unconsciously, and he no longer knew where he was at this time. I had to roughly discern the direction and continued along the mountain road.
Somehow, You Ziji felt that the road under his feet was quite steady, not like an ordinary mountain road, like someone passing by here all year round, and there were obvious rut marks on it. As soon as you put it together, you know that you should have returned to the original road, but you don't know whether you have avoided Tianyu Guan in the first half or the second half.
After walking a little further, a canyon suddenly appeared, where the peaks were steep and the canyon was isolated, like the Optimus Pillar soaring into the sky. You Ziji just saw such a scene on the ground, but his palms were sweaty, his legs and feet were slightly weak, and he was amazed at the terrifying height there.
But even if it is such a cliff, there are still buildings, and it seems to be a temple, and I don't know where the believers built it, I am afraid that only immortals can have this magical ability.
You Ziji looked up, and gradually realized that something was wrong, he seemed to really see the immortals.
He opened his eyes to take a closer look, but saw that in front of the peak temple, there was a person, with white hair fluttering, fairy wind and bones, as if he was incense to the temple.
The Taoist prepared some melons and fruits to offer, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and then turned around to go down the mountain. You Ziji was curious about how the Daoist went up, and stared carefully with wide eyes.
But he saw the man walking away without the slightest pause, like a rock sheep striding on the cliff as if he were walking on the ground. But the good times didn't last long, and suddenly, the Taoist seemed to have tripped over something, and his body tilted, falling off the cliff like a fallen leaf.
The Taoist did not give up, every time he touched a protruding rock or tree, he seemed to want to reach out and grab it, but his body was too heavy to stop his fall every time, and the speed of his fall became faster and faster.
Seeing that the Taoist was in danger, although he might not be able to save him, he still reflexively ran to the bottom of the cliff, hoping to catch him.
When he arrived at the bottom of the cliff, he disappeared from the figure of the Dao man, and when he looked closely, the Dao man seemed to have stopped halfway, and a stone platform stopped him, and there was a cave next to him, and he didn't know if he was seriously injured if he fell there.
You Ziji couldn't care much, and hurriedly climbed up to confirm the physical state of the Taoist.
But I don't want to have a lot of places on the cliff for people to crawl on, and I have deviated a lot before I know it. Although the height is the same, You Ziji is still more than ten zhang away from the stone platform, and the figure of the Taoist has disappeared from a distance, Xu is there a fierce beast in the cave that took him away, and he couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
There was no place to borrow strength from this steep cliff, and You Ziji had no other way, so he wanted to perform a blow technique, stepping on the wind and jumping over, but was suddenly interrupted by an old voice.
"Little doll, how did you climb here?"
But it was the old Taoist who came out of the cave and saw Youziji lying on the cliff.
You Ziji was first overjoyed when he saw the old Taoist, and then showed a wry smile, he saw that the old Taoist was neatly dressed, moved freely, and there were no weeds on his body, let alone injured, where was the appearance of falling off the cliff, but he would be wrong.
Seeing You Ziji's face with a wry smile, the Taoist was in a dilemma, but he was also warm-hearted, and with a flick of his hand, his palm was like a fan, bringing a whirlwind to roll You Ziji over.
You Ziji's instinctive reaction didn't have time to move, the whole person had already come to the cave, he was horrified in his heart, knowing that he had met a master, so he bowed:
"Thank you, old fairy...... Seniors rescued. ”
The Taoist looked at You Ziji with great interest, and said, "Why did the little Taoist climb the cliff and put himself in danger? ”
You Ziji can't say that he is here to save the Taoist, that is really stupid. He had an idea, remembered the temple on the mountain, and said cheekily: "The younger generation saw the temple on the top of the mountain, I don't know who is enshrined, and I am curious to see what is going on." ”
"Hahaha."
The Taoist smiled heartily and continued, "You are here for this? You don't have to go up, you've already seen it. ”
"I've already seen it?" You Ziji carefully recalled the characters he had interacted with, and it seemed that none of them were qualified to be enshrined.
"That's right, and it has been observing the surroundings, and just told Poor Dao that you are here to save me."
You Ziji smiled awkwardly and said, "The seniors already know the purpose of the juniors, but I don't know who this friend is and where we have met." ”
"It's the spirit of the mountains here, and you can call it the god of the mountains. You see, it's out. ”
You Ziji followed the direction pointed by the Taoist, and when he saw the black hole, a vague snow-white figure suddenly appeared, extremely fast, but he seemed to be a little afraid of life and hid behind the Taoist.
You Ziji saw that the figure of the white shadow was a little familiar, so he took a closer look, and then was taken aback, "Isn't this the white wolf from last night, how did you turn into a mountain god, didn't you find a helper to deal with me?" No, I didn't kill when I expelled him. ”
You Ziji had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he was in danger, and he was already a fish on someone else's chopping board, where could he toss it, so he had to test his words, "Senior, this is the mountain god?" The younger generation heard that the territory of Chongjun is a place where all kinds of fairy birds inhabit, why is this mountain god not a spirit bird of a crane or something but a white wolf? ”
The man didn't rush to explain, but said, "Little doll, let's see what it is?" ”
You Ziji looked again, but saw that the white wolf heard You Ziji's words, and collapsed on the spot, turning into a white air current, and after combining them together, it was already a big white crane with a height of one person.
"It is the spiritual manifestation of the mountains and forests, but it has no fixed form."
You Ziji was a little surprised, so he said frankly to the Taoist: "The junior was attacked by a fierce beast in the mountains yesterday, and he also attacked the mountain village, and he is also a white wolf with the same appearance as it, maybe it is not with it. ”
The Taoist pondered for a moment and said, "The mountain god is responsible for all the creatures in the mountains and forests, and if there really is a fierce beast you mentioned, it would have been expelled by it a long time ago." What's more, this is also the management scope of Tianyu Temple, and there are generally no monsters and beasts. ”
You Ziji remembered the scene he saw last night and said: "That group of white wolves was driving away animals in the mountains last night, these are what I saw with my own eyes. ”
The Taoist didn't know the exact situation, so he immediately lowered his head and communicated with the mountain god, and after a while, the Taoist smiled and said slowly, "It has already told me about you, the little doll is really bold, even if it is an illusion, it dares to break through." ”
"Illusion, did the predecessor mean the village in the fog?"
The Taoist smiled: "That's it, it didn't expect you to avoid observation and go in alone." The little doll is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, do you know where you went last night? I'm sure you've seen a lot of bones in it, and they're all trapped in the illusion. ”
You Ziji was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Since this place is so dangerous, why don't you think of a way to solve it, so as to save more people." ”
The Taoist sighed and said: "It's easy for you to think, although this illusion often appears with the mist, it is not necessarily so, and it contains the laws of heaven and earth, and external forces cannot interfere. The only way to keep the creatures out of here is to keep them out of here. It's the work of this mountain elf, but I don't want to stop you. ”
You Ziji suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, after I came out this morning, I couldn't feel the talisman I had drawn. ”
The Taoist also sighed: "If it hadn't led you out, you would never have been able to come out again when you were assimilated by the illusion." ”
You Ziji unconsciously touched his stomach when he heard this, and he was a little afraid in his heart.
"But I don't know why this illusion is so real, I ate some rice porridge in it, I don't know what tricks have been applied, and now there is nothing unusual in my stomach."
"What do you want to be out of here?" The Taoist didn't understand what You Ziji meant for a while.
"I've heard that in the ghost stories told by storytellers, there are shops opened by ghosts, and the tea and fruit snacks, drinks and herbal teas in them are all replaced by mud and clods, and the rice porridge I think I eat is changed from muddy water."
After saying this, the Taoist burst into laughter, and only after a long time did he say, "You are a cultivator, and you still rely on the storyteller to tell the common sense of ghosts?" You don't have to worry, it's not like no one has come out of this illusion before, and their rhetoric sums it up as entering a peach blossom paradise where people seem to have lived hundreds of years ago. Have you ever heard of a mirage? ”
You Ziji nodded and said, "The juniors naturally know that it is the refraction of light that refracts the scene in the distance. ”
"That's right, the fog here is like that mirage, only more magical, you can think that it reflects the scene of this world hundreds of years ago."
You Ziji exclaimed in surprise, thinking in his heart, "If everything is true, could it be that the gods are angry and innocent and snatched the couple's children, this is not like what a god should do." ”
You Ziji looked at the mountain god who had turned into a white crane, but suddenly bowed down and said, "Thank you for saving your life, You Ziji blamed you before." ”
The white crane seemed to be very happy when he heard You Ziji's words, and flapped his wings happily, screaming non-stop.
When the Taoist saw that it seemed to have something to say, he exchanged a few words with the mountain god and said, "You have been invited by it, and I will take you in to visit its cave." ”
"Its caves?"
You Ziji didn't understand what this meant in particular.
The man explained: "The little doll has a good chance, its cave has stone carvings that point directly to the power of the source, it is impossible to verify which master left it, but it must be useful to you." ”
You Ziji shirked and said: "The younger generation almost misunderstood the mountain god, where do you have the face to ask for its gift." ”
The Taoist showed no worries and taught: "Its mind is simple, how can it have such complex thoughts as you, it likes you, so it wants to share good things with you, this is your chance, how can you give it up easily?" ”
