Chapter 10: The Mystery of the Medicine Immortal
Pale white as transparent moonlight, soft as a pile of soft veil covering the hall.
I paced up and down in the black dragon's dormitory in the moonlight.
For a while, it was difficult to sit in front of his ebony table, and for a while he stood and looked at the side of the door......
Because I haven't been away for a long time, I want to see Sister Green Snake for the first time, and I want to know if she is doing well or not in the past few days.
I thought that Black Dragon Yao would return soon, but unfortunately he didn't come back until I fell asleep in his bed.
When the morning sun rises, the morning breeze blows slightly open the windows of the dormitory.
I woke up rubbing my sleepy eyes, and when I got up, I saw Hei Longyao sleeping on his stomach in front of the ebony table.
I didn't want to disturb him sleeping, but I didn't see Sister Green Snake in the hall.
I reached out and grabbed Black Longyao's arm and shirt, and shook it gently: "Black Longyao, wake up, where is Sister Green Snake?"
Hei Longyao propped up the desk with his hands, straightened up lazily, his eyes were bloodshot, and said hoarse and tired: "A little Taoist priest confided that the green snake had already escaped from the prison. I searched all over the Qingxuguan Lonely Abyss Mountain, and even the purple bamboo forest also searched for you, but I didn't find any trace of the green snake. ”
"What about Zhang Tianshu?" I asked eagerly.
"Who?" Black Dragon Yao yawned, followed by seven points of consciousness, and looked at me blankly: "You only said that I should find the green snake for you, but you didn't mention this person." Forget it, I'll go to Qingxuguan now to help you find out about this person. ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, no. You're tired all night, get some rest. Anyway, it's enough to know that Sister Green Snake has escaped, thank you. ”
Before I finished saying thank you, Hei Longyao was so sleepy that he lay back on the table again, snoring every minute.
A hanging heart finally landed.
At dawn, the sun shone down the dense forests on both sides of the trail, casting dappled shadows.
I hummed a pleasant little song all the way back to the Medicine Fairy Courtyard.
A silver-haired staggering figure had already gotten up early and was planting herbs in a spacious mountain courtyard.
"Medicine Fairy!"
I said hello cheerfully, ran up to pick up a water scoop from the fence yard, and watered the seedlings he had just planted.
After the old man of the medicine fairy thrashed his waist, he slowly straightened up and smiled kindly: "Thank you for helping me." ”
"What's the matter, thank you for saving my mother. ”
I smiled and watered, and as I moved briskly, I turned around and almost tripped over.
After I staggered to my feet, I looked down at the object that had tripped over me, the blackiron shackles under the medicine fairy's feet.
When I remembered the first time I saw the medicine fairy, I was curious about the chains under his feet.
But at that time, I was worried about the safety of my mother and his personal privacy, so I didn't ask.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, simply have nothing to worry about, and today is sunny, which is really a good weather suitable for gossip.
I poured water in front of the medicine fairy, pretending to be careless to block the way of the medicine fairy's sowing, and babbling.
"Eh, Medicine Immortal, why do you wear your dark iron every day, and you don't open it. It's hard to make it possible, which fairy girl sent a love token so chic, it will tie you for a lifetime. ”
Yao Xian wiped the speechless cold sweat on his forehead, and said with a pale, "It has nothing to do with love." It is not advisable to blame me for my own iniquity. ”
I didn't guess right! And so my curiosity grew.
"What's going on? Tell me, I promise you to keep it a secret for you. I took a step closer and asked quietly.
The medicine fairy shook his head solemnly: "It's okay not to mention the past, it's okay not to mention it." ”
I held my cheeks in my hand and looked at the old man of the medicine fairy curiously, I really looked left and right, and I couldn't figure out why he was chained.
Seeing that I couldn't ask why, I was deflated and said, "Forget it, if you want to come to Heilongyao, you must know." I'll ask him another day. ”
The medicine fairy wiped his sweat even more, and said helplessly: "Miss Wan, you don't have to do this in front of the demon king." I'm afraid that when he thinks of it, he may be angry and tear down my old bones. ”
"So, so your chain has something to do with Black Dragon, why did he keep you here?"
"Miss Wan, I know you have a close relationship with the Demon King. I can tell you, but you must promise the old man to keep it a secret. ”
I nodded quickly and sincerely.
The medicine immortal stroked his white beard and sighed: "More than a thousand years ago, I was not a medicine immortal who cultivated Xiaocheng on the mountain. Who knew that one day, a strange disaster would fall from the sky. If the mountains do not fall, the sky will fall apart. I rescued a mortally wounded black dragon in the wilderness. ”
"Is it the Black Dragon?" I chimed in.
The medicine fairy nodded gloomily: "It's all because I was hungry for profit at that time, and I was dedicated to cultivating Dacheng." I thought about smoking it dragon tendon stew to replenish my body, but I didn't know, as soon as I pulled out a piece of its scale armor, I woke it up painfully, and then ......"
I looked at the medicine fairy speechlessly, and said sympathetically: "You dare to eat Black Dragon Yao! And then what?"
"Then ......" the medicine fairy cried with a sad old face: "And then ...... I was beaten by that black dragon...... He tied me in blackiron shackles and forced me to heal his wounds. This lock is a thousand years. ”
I was speechless: "Ah, this is stealing chickens and rice." But the black dragon Yao is also a little ruthless, didn't he eat him yet, and he tied you up for a thousand years. ”
The medicine fairy sighed sadly: "Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to be chained for a lifetime." ”
I smiled lightly and said, "You didn't eat him, you just pulled out a piece of dragon scales from him, so you won't be chained to ashes." ”
The medicine immortal's expression became more and more gloomy: "The black dragon scale armor is invulnerable. I am the only one in this world who knows where his life is. ”
"You mean, the missing thing you caused by pulling out that piece of scale armor is his lifeline?"
The medicine fairy let out a low sigh to show acquiescence: "Alas......"
I patted the back of the medicine fairy with great sympathy, smoothed out the depression in his liver and lungs, and comforted him seriously: "There is nothing wrong with wearing that shackle, it is better than him killing people and killing people." ”
"Alas......" The medicine fairy became more and more sad and gloomy.
I shook my head, a little funny and a little pitiful.
What's funny is that the black dragon Yao was almost stewed by someone, and a scale was pulled out.
However, when I think of the experience he mentioned, I can't help but feel pity.
In the Nine Heavens, in order to avenge his parents, he finally got the Heavenly Sword, but he was discovered by a god at a critical moment. Presumably, it was also the same god who knocked him down into the wilderness after he cut off the pillar of heaven......
And the medicine immortal actually wanted to eat the demon king for the sake of cultivation, and he didn't know the times. In the end, because of greed for a while, he has to pay the price of a lifetime of freedom.
However, they are all lucky. Because, after all, they are still alive, and there is hope.
After seeing the various aspects of life, I realized that I seemed to be starting to think about life.
After a morning of squatting to help the medicine fairy water the seedlings, I tiptoed into the table in the room, picked up the glazed kettle, and poured a few sips of herbal tea......
"Yun'er, come here. ”
I was woken up by me, and my mother called me over.
"Mother, what's wrong?" I hurriedly put down the kettle and approached my mother's couch.
"Wan'er, what's the matter with you and Black Dragon?"
Today is really a good day to gossip, I didn't expect my mother to gossip about me.
I was stunned: "It's nothing." ”
"Then when I woke up, I saw you crying on his shoulder, and when something happened last night, you ran to him again. It's okay for you to be like this?"
I thought about it carefully, and confessed to my mother 1510: "Hei Longyao said that I had something to do with him in my previous life, so he treated me very well. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, my mother broke the word: "Then he likes you." What about you, do you like him too?"
I frowned lightly and thought about it seriously, although Black Dragon Yao often teased me with frivolous words, in fact, his behavior was not really half a point of courtesy.
Therefore, the few days I spent with him were enough for me to judge.
"Mother, I think Hei Longyao is a good person. But I don't know yet what it's like to like someone. All I know is that I don't hate him. ”
My mother looked at me, stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of my nose, and smiled gently: "Silly girl, if you like someone, you must want to go to the twilight with him." You don't know this taste yet, you must not like it yet, but you have some ambiguity with him. ”
"What is ambiguity?" I couldn't figure out the meaning of my mother's words.
"Ambiguity is the ambiguity of affection between men and women, closer than confidants, but not as deep as lovers. The mother patiently taught: "But indulging in ambiguity hurts others and hurts yourself." Since you don't like him, it's better to get rid of it sooner rather than later. ”
I looked at my mother with a confused face, but fortunately, now I, I have grown wise, and I know that my mother's words must be right, I just need to listen to my mother's words.
"Then what should I do?" I asked my mother for advice
The mother was silent, looked out of the valley and said, "The mother is in good health." Tomorrow, I will go back to Halberd Mountain with my mother. ”
I was extremely surprised: "Why is it Halberd Mountain? ”
"Yun'er, my traces have been exposed, and the two worlds of immortals will definitely work together to capture me again. There are many people in the Desolate Halberd Demon Mountain, even if all the immortals come, they must be afraid of three points. ”
I nodded obediently: "Okay! ”
The next day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
Good to go.
My mother then led me and went to bid farewell to the Black Dragon Yao brothers and sisters.
The huge and empty demon palace was filled with gusts of cold wind.
Hei Longyao reached out and grabbed my arm and looked at me: "Don't go." ”
My mother moved around and stood in front of me, and said in a serious voice: "Yao'er, your revenge has not been avenged, and the coming day is difficult and unpredictable, how can you keep Wan'er by your side." ”
The black dragon Yao's eyebrows tightened, and after a moment, he let go of the hand that was holding me, and immediately clenched his fists and said firmly: "Little fairy, wait for me." After taking revenge, I will go to you. ”
I don't think there's anything subtle about Hei Longyao's words.
Just like at the beginning, I went to the smoke and dust with Sister Green Snake, and it was not necessary to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in the world with him.
I was about to nod.
The mother took the end of Hei Longyao's words and replied: "Yao'er, wait for me to go back and revive the Halberd." When you take revenge one day, the nine-tailed rakshasa will bring the demon clan to help. Say goodbye today, and there will be a period later. ”
"Okay, we'll see you later. Long Yue, escort them back for me. ”
Black Dragon Yao glanced at me, his dark eyes were full of indescribable sadness, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned around and waved goodbye to us.
