Chapter 10: The Old Taoist Priest Leaves
Especially to be able to give birth to healthy offspring is the most difficult to do, although there are many big demons who can maintain their human form, they can also have offspring with humans, but almost all descendants are born, because they are young and can not control the demonic energy on their bodies, nine out of ten will appear alien when they are born, for example, the father or mother is a tiger spirit, and the offspring born will definitely have animal hair, or tiger ears, tiger eyes, and tiger tails, and because they are mixed blood of the demon race, they are congenitally excluded by the rules of this realm, Nine times out of ten, they will not live to adulthood and will die early due to various diseases.
It seems that Gu Shiyi and her own mother have passed down the bloodline of the demon clan from generation to generation, and it can only be said that her ancestor must be a very remarkable demon king, as far as the old Taoist priest knows, there are only a few alien species left over from the flood and famine, so he has this to say.
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and said,
"I don't understand, but I also heard a lot of secrets about your mother in the Gu family back then, saying that she liked strong men when she was in her mother's house, and she didn't look down on your father's thin and slender noble son, but when she was in the boudoir, she was a well-behaved lady, but since she got married, her temperament has changed greatly, I guess she should be the blood awakening, but she is not as lucky as you, until she knows the things of men and women after getting married, so she naturally looks down on your father, That's why there will be an elopement with someone, and when you go back to your hometown in the future, you can go to your grandfather's house to inquire! ”
"Oh......"
Gu Shiyi was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, nodded blankly, and said after a while,
"So...... She...... She didn't actually mean to abandon me? ”
The old Taoist priest knew that although the apprentice looked open-minded and cheerful on the outside, he had always been very concerned about his mother's departure from her, so he nodded and said,
"I guess I can't help touching her......"
Her mother is a mortal, and she has the blood of the ancient demon clan, if she is lewd, she will not care about anything when she sees a man, how can she remember her daughter!
Gu Shiyi asked again,
"My maternal grandfather's family is also a family of cultivators, although it has declined later, when my mother is at home, didn't anyone find out?"
Old Taoist Dao,
"This kind of bloodline thing is the most uncertain, your ancestor's bloodline is already very thin in your generation, but it is always a desolate species, the magic is not something we can know, maybe it is lurking in the bloodline for several generations or more than ten generations, and suddenly it is revived in the body of a certain descendant......"
After a pause, he looked at the apprentice with a sympathetic expression,
"But for now, it seems that you have not inherited the other abilities of the alien species, but you will ...... Ahem...... I inherited its lewdness......"
Flood of xenomorphs! Most of them have natural abilities, such as being born close to the five elements of water and fire, or having a strong body, rough skin and thick flesh, etc., but he has raised Gu Shiyi for more than twenty years, except for his excellent ability to comprehend Taoism, the rest really haven't seen any difference between her and ordinary mortal women, it seems that she has no inheritance!
"Ah......h
Gu Shiyi's face was speechless, and he secretly said in his heart,
"No wonder, I like abs, vest lines and big muscles, it turns out ...... It's ancestral inheritance! ”
Gu Shiyi was shocked by the fact that he was carrying the blood of the desolation, but he didn't cry anymore, he accompanied the old Taoist priest to eat wine in the middle of the night, and watched him lie on the table when he was exhausted, so he went up to help people, and as soon as the old Taoist's skinny shoulders started, Gu Shiyi's eyes turned red again,
"Master......"
In the past, the old Taoist priest was always old, but the strength of the muscles and bones of the body did not lose to the young man, and the skills practiced when he was a boy were still there, although the muscles on the arms were not as hard as iron, but they were also distinct, and it was only a day's work, and the tenacious muscles of the old Taoist priest seemed to have been taken away.
The old Taoist priest was helped to sleep on the bunk by her, Gu Shiyi stayed aside with a worried face, she didn't dare to go to her bed to sleep, afraid that the old Taoist priest would be gone when she woke up, so she sat on the side for a night, and the clay figure was with her, and the two of them stayed until dawn, and when the first bird call sounded in the forest, the old Taoist priest seemed to be awakened, sighed long, and opened his eyes,
"Ten...... One ......"
Gu Shiyi heard it, opened his eyes and hurriedly looked,
"Master!"
At this time, the old Taoist priest was already on the verge of death, his pale hair was scattered on the pillow, the top of his head was bare, and it all fell off overnight, and his face was covered with black gas, and a pair of old eyes with drooping eyelids could barely open a slit.
"Ten...... One ......"
The old Taoist priest trembled and grabbed Gu Shiyi's hand,
"Master......"
When Gu Shiyi saw this, he still didn't understand anything, the tears blurred his eyes at that time, and the old Taoist priest said in a dumb voice,
"Ten...... One, don't cry just yet...... Cry and wait...... When I'm in the ground, you'll cry again......"
After saying that, he took a long breath and forcibly lifted the last true qi in his body,
"Listen, what I told you before, you have to do it, and you must leave here three days after I die...... You can bury me in this mountain, and let this body turn into a handful of mud, and you can also raise a living being! ”
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest rolled his eyes up and looked at the tiled roof of the temple,
"Alas......"
With a long breath of breath, the old Taoist priest's hand was released, and it fell softly on the bunk,
Gu Shiyi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses,
"Master!"
Gu Shiyi screamed in grief, threw himself on the old Taoist priest and cried,
"Master! Master! Don't die, what if you die and leave me alone in the world......"
She and the old Taoist priest for 25 years to wander around, together with hardships and sins, but also together to eat and drink spicy, the hard work and happiness, since not outsiders can know, this master-apprentice friendship is deeper than the average master and apprentice, especially she knows that the old Taoist priest will go so fast, has a lot to do with herself, her heart is painful and regretful and self-blame, that is crying in the dark, the sun and the moon are not shining, this cry is crying for a day and a night!
Li Yan'er on the side was also sad with her, the two of them were guarding the old Taoist priest in the hall like this, and they never took a bite of water and rice, and in the end, Li Yan'er saw that Gu Shiyi was going to fall if she continued like this, so she persuaded her,
"Eleven, it's been a day and a night, and it's time for Master and his old man to be buried, you...... You'd better let his old man settle down! ”
Didn't the master tell them that they had to leave this place three days after he died, and it was all a day and a night, and another three days of delay would have passed!
Gu Shiyi listened to the persuasion, reluctantly cleaned up his grief, got up and went outside to find a feng shui treasure for the old Taoist, but he found the hill in the first five miles of Guanhou, this place is backed by the mountain and faces southwest, it is an old forest that few people have set foot in, the old Taoist priest is buried here, and when he has nothing to do, he can also look at the scenery under the mountain and listen to the sound of the mountain wind and forest howling.
Gu Shiyi went to discuss with the pine tree standing alone on the top of the mountain,
"My master is dead, I want to bury him here, can you guard him for me?"
The pine spirit thought for a moment and replied,
"Not good!"
Gu Shiyi was a little annoyed when he heard this,
"Why...... His old man was not thin on you when he was alive, if it weren't for his old man's ignition, how could you survive the thunderstorm two years ago, and become a jing, you are ungrateful! ”
The pine spirit thought about it and responded,
"When you say that, I think about it, as if there really is such a thing......
Before it opened its spiritual intelligence, its memory was already a little blurry, Gu Shiyi said that it remembered some,
"Okay, in order to prevent you from talking nonsense and ruining my reputation, let your master be buried here......"
Gu Shiyi was overjoyed, and the pine tree spirit didn't wait for her to speak, and continued,
"But...... If my feng shui treasure is used to bury people, it is the only one within a radius of 100 miles of the lonely widow of the Ninety-Five Supreme, the hole is under the root of my tree, the so-called mountain can not accommodate two tigers, even one life and one death can not, if you want to bury him here, then you have to remove me......"
Gu Shiyi was stunned,
"And that kind of statement?"
Listen to it again,
"I've been in this mountain for too long, and I'm tired of it, so take me outside and see what the world is like...... Anyway, now that your master is dead, I want to ...... You won't be in this mountain anymore...... Why don't you take me out...... Such...... I have made room for your master, and I can go out too, and everyone will be happy! ”
"This ......"
Gu Shiyi hesitated a little and didn't speak, the pine tree spirit was a little anxious, and continued,
"If you don't take me away, it's useless to cut me, my root system is ten zhang deep, if you dare to bury him here, I will dare to arch him out of the ground, so that he will not be at peace when he dies, and in the future, the violent corpse wilderness, when he dies, he will be a homeless lonely soul!"
So ruthless!
Gu Shiyi remembered that this pine tree spirit said that he had lived for a thousand years, but the real enlightenment was only the situation of the past two years, speaking of which he was still a baby, this kind of hairy boy was the most unreasonable, and he dared to do anything if he was in a hurry!
Besides, Feng Shui treasure!
This place can make the pine tree into essence, the old Taoist priest buried in, must live comfortably, he did not enjoy much happiness in his life when he was alive, how can he be blessed after he dies!
After thinking about it, it's a little difficult,
"You're so big, how can I bring it?"
You can't let her carry a log out of the mountain, right?
The pine tree spirit was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly responded,
"This is easy to do, you find something to cut my body open, and I will come out...... When I come out, you put your master on my head...... It's saved the coffin......"
This is the coffin!
This is just the right to save money and protect the environment, and the thousand-year-old pine tree is used as a coffin, even the secular emperors do not have this treatment!
Gu Shiyi went back and found an axe to split the big pine tree that the two of them couldn't hold, and sure enough, a green light came out of it, and circled around Gu Shiyi, Gu Shiyi used a broken clay jar to fill some mud, and the green light drilled into the jar and turned into a small sapling, and the pine tree spirit twisted his body and said,
"It's a little crowded to stay in such a small place, I don't embarrass you, I know that there are no good things on this mountain, and when you go down the mountain, you can get me a bigger place......"
Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes, he didn't have a good airway,
"Got it!"
So Gu Shiyi spent another day digging out a space in the pine tree that was just enough to hold, and went to the bottom of the mountain to buy a shroud, put it on the old Taoist priest with his own hands, and then sealed the old Taoist priest into the tree coffin.
After doing this, Gu Shiyi returned to the view and felt that the whole person had been drained, entered the hall and sat on his bed, staring at the empty bed in the corner in a daze, and only fell down with a tired face after a while, and just fell asleep.
As soon as she fell asleep, she was left with the clay figure on the table and the little green sapling in the broken crockpot, staring wide-eyed.
"Hey, I've seen you, Gu Shiyi brought you here before......"
The little sapling thought for a moment and said,
"I heard her call you Yan'er?"
The clay figure nodded in response,
"My name is Li Yan'er, you ...... What do you call it? ”
Gu Shiyi took Li Yan'er to the top of the mountain, the pine tree spirit put on a shelf, disdainful of dealing with her as an outsider, Gu Shiyi called for a long time, it didn't care, Li Yan'er didn't talk to it, now I really don't know how to call this, let's talk about age, this one has lived for a thousand years, but Eleven said, plants, trees, beasts and insects become fine, and the age is calculated on the day of enlightenment, so if it is calculated in this way, it is only about two years old.
The little sapling was really stunned, and responded,
"I don't have a name......"
Then he said in a fierce tone,
"It doesn't matter if I have a name or not, you just need to know, in the future, except for Gu Shiyi, I will be the biggest!"
"Uh......"
Li Yan'er was a little stunned,
"That's right! I'm older than you, you have to listen to me in the future, don't fight with me for territory, don't compete with me for the sun, don't fight with me for water, don't you hear? ”
It was only natural for the Dryads to fight for territory.
The saplings in the broken clay pot twisted the leaves on the top of their heads and shook the wind, quite a clay figure jumped out to pump it without agreeing, Li Yan'er was a little funny, and thought to herself,
"It's exactly what Eleven said......
Eleven said to her, this tree is actually the same as people, growing on the same land, it is also to be fought for, fighting for water, land and sunshine, the old pine tree can withstand the wind and sun on the top of the mountain, and a tree has the aura of heaven and earth and turned into an elf, but it is not the amiable pine grandfather who is staged on TV!
"If you see that bare grass on that mountain doesn't grow, you know it's not a good thing!"
This is Gu Shiyi's original words, Li Yan'er realized that she was a human being, of course she would not worry about a tree, so she nodded and said,
"Okay, I won't fight with you ......"
Anyway, she doesn't need this sunshine or water!
The pine tree spirit was immediately satisfied when he saw that she was so knowledgeable, and thought about it and asked her,
"Who took your name?"
Li Yan'er responded,
"The ...... taken by parents"
The pine spirit was a little distressed,
"I don't have parents...... Who gave me a name? ”
It couldn't even understand where it came from, Li Yan'er thought about it and said,
"You are a tree essence, conceived by the aura of heaven and earth, you are born and raised, and you can choose your own name!"
The pine tree spirit was overjoyed, and after thinking for a long time, asked Li Yan'er,
"You say...... How about my name being the king? ”
Li Yan'er was stunned,
"This ...... Name......"
If the tiger and lion in the mountains become fine, it is quite appropriate to call it the king, and a pine tree is called the king, isn't it...... It's kind of weird!
"How...... Do you think it's bad, or do you think I don't deserve to be a king? ”
