Chapter 4 Guests (1)
After speaking, Qingyun subconsciously touched his chest, found nothing, and put down his hand again.
"Later, then, did you find a white fox in the cave?"
"Nanzhi is so smart, I did find a dying little white fox in the cave, although it is still alive, but it can no longer move or eat. But fortunately, I happened to have a potion made by my father, and he said that this potion would help me heal and fill my stomach, so I fed the little white fox a little bit. ”
Hearing such a surprising thing, Yan Nanzhi's curiosity was naturally lifted, and his heart itched tightly, and he hurriedly asked:
"What kind of potion is so magical, did you bring it, Brother Xiaoyun, give me some to taste!"
"I didn't bring it, don't look for it, you have to taste the medicine too, it's really a little gluttonous cat. I guess the little white fox's parents may have gone out to forage for food and encountered natural predators, or maybe some other situation happened to leave him alone in the cave, so he almost starved to death. ”
"And what about later?"
"Later, when I fed it some potion, it naturally woke up gradually, but as soon as it opened its eyes, it struggled desperately in my arms, probably trying to run, haha. Probably frightened by the fact that I hadn't seen anyone before, I put it down, and it staggered deep into the hole. ”
Listening to Qingyun's story, Yan Nanzhi took out a few candied fruits from the purse on his waist as if he was playing tricks, handed them to Qingyun first, and then threw another one into his small mouth.
Qingyun couldn't resist Yan Nanzhi's enthusiasm, took a bite of the sweet and greasy candied fruit, and continued:
"I saw that it could move on its own and was about to leave, but then I thought that this little fox might have just come out of its mother's womb, and it would not be able to forage for food on its own, and it would definitely starve to death, so I planned to take it back, and raise it first, and wait until I could find food for myself. ”
"And then? Did it resist desperately and didn't want to go with you?"
Yan Nanzhi said innocently.
"I look like such a bad guy? You may not think that when I turned around, I found that it was actually following me, haha! So I told it what I had just thought, and then I didn't care if it understood it or not, and when I tried to hold it again, it really didn't resist! At that time, it was a scorching summer, and I saw that the lotus flowers in the wild pond in the mountains were blooming very beautifully, so I named it Ah Lian. ”
"It's amazing, it feels like those fantasy anecdotes in the town's storytellers, by the way, how did you get home when you got out of the cave?
Yan Nanzhi continued to ask curiously, but when he said this, Qingyun changed his normal behavior and became a little stammering.
"It's... This..."
"What's the matter, what do you say, haha, I know, you must have been found by Uncle Yi running all over the mountain in the middle of the night, right? I knew that I would be scolded a lot when I went back, haha!"
Yan Nanzhi's smile trembled, but her self-brain supplement helped Qingyun to relieve the siege, making him smile noncommittally, and he didn't talk anymore.
In fact, Qingyun's story has not yet been finished, he did not tell the story of his father's volley after leaving the cave, nor did he tell the story of his father waving his hand and retreating in the thick fog.
He knew that his father was by no means an ordinary person, or that his father was not a human at all, but that it had been passed down from ancient times in people's mouths:
Immortal.
And he himself is so ordinary, ordinary to even small, ordinary to the wind like dust.
Because of his frailty, he has made his parents work hard since he was a child, and perhaps his father often goes out to find herbs that can cure his illness. And the illness that he is often tormented by cold poison may never be cured, and he may drag down his father's life, and even these friends, as well as Grandpa Liangshan.
Thinking of this, Qingyun's pride that had just risen was gone.
"Why are you stunned, Brother Xiaoyun!"
Yan Nanzhi slapped Qingyun hard, almost slapping her off the pile of wood.
"Oh, where did you get so much strength, it hurts me to death, why every time I see you, my strength seems to have increased a lot. ”
Qingyun rubbed his shoulders and complained.
"Ah, isn't it? I don't feel like I need much strength, oops, it's you too thin Brother Xiaoyun, you really should eat more, you're quite tall but you don't see any meat, I'll ask grandpa to make you some other soup to drink another day, don't keep drinking Uncle Yi's medicine, I feel like your body hasn't changed much better, hehe." ”
Yan Nanzhi smiled innocently, and then continued to Qingyun with a ghostly head:
"Don't tell Tiezhu about them! Actually, grandpa also let me drink the medicinal soup for a long time, saying that it can improve my physique! He also taught me something else, he said it was the kung fu of nourishing qi! But I guess it may be the internal strength of those heroes' cultivation, but I don't understand it either, I'll teach you another day when I learn it, Brother Xiaoyun!"
"Yes, yes, my good sister, how dare I, I won't be killed by you if I say it, Yan Nuxia!"
Qingyun also made a joke about Yan Nanzhi, and the two started to fight on the pile of wood. Poor Qingyun has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and she is not the opponent of Yan Nanzhi, a girl, and she grabbed her wrist and couldn't move after three or two clicks.
Time always slips by inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for lunch. Yan Nanzhi is child-like, rubbed his hungry belly, and asked Qingyun slyly:
"Brother Xiaoyun, you just said so much, are you hungry too? Hehe, grandpa has a guest here today, it seems that he asked the third aunt next door to make a table of wine and food! It is estimated that there are already ready-made ones at home, let's go and have a meal~"
Qingyun was a little reluctant when he heard this, and shook his head directly, after all, this is not very polite.
"Oh, people are kidding, of course I know, I mean, we can go to the third aunt's house, and let's go eat before the food goes up, hehe~"
Yan Nanzhi grinned at Qingyun, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.
"This doesn't seem good, guests are guests after all, so wouldn't it be a loss of hospitality, and..."
But before Qingyun finished speaking, Yan Nanzhi directly took Qingyun's hand again, and like a hare in the mountains, he rushed back to his house, and muttered as he walked:
"Oh, Brother Xiaoyun, you're not old yet, why are you as pedantic as my grandfather, let's go, you won't be able to eat anything if it's late!"
However, before the two of them approached the old man's house, they heard a loud bang, and the two wooden doors of the house burst open, flying out several feet away. At the same time, there was a noise in the room, and the oppressive atmosphere could be felt from afar, and the air seemed to be stagnant, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if someone was working inside.
But before Yan Nanzhi, the wild girl, rushed in and went crazy, Qingyun grabbed her, and at the same time covered her mouth with her other hand to prevent her from screaming, which showed a different alertness and decisiveness from his usual gentle and elegant appearance.
Qingyun understands that the one who can knock the wooden door away must be a person who knows martial arts, if these two dolls go up, it is not the share of being rounded and pinched, it is better to take a look at the situation first, and then find a way to notify the people in the village to help.
"Let's be careful, don't be impatient. ”
Qingyun said in a deep voice. Yan Nanzhi saw him talking like this, and he also understood the key, so he patiently began to listen to what the people inside were saying. So the two of them crept behind the haystack not far from the house, and secretly looked into the house.
I saw that there was only a square table in the room at this time, and the small low tables for the young people in the village to read and write were all gone, and there were two old people and two young Taoist priests sitting next to the square table, and there were no dishes on the table, only a few cups and a pot of tea.
"Old man of the two mountains, don't give you face, you don't have a face, you know each other and tell the real whereabouts of the last two people left, otherwise, don't blame me for catching you back today and shaving your **!
The person who spoke was a young Taoist priest, about twenty years old, several years older than Qingyun and them, not tall but extremely well-proportioned, and very handsome between his eyebrows.
However, the peculiar fire of young people seems to be a little bigger, making his star-like eyes look a little aggressive.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Nanzhi was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and he was so relieved that Qingyun would have stopped him, otherwise he would have rushed into the house early.
"Senior brother, don't talk nonsense, the seniors of the two mountains, there are many offenses, my little junior brother is in a hurry and doesn't choose to speak, please senior Haihan!"
At this time, it was an older Taoist priest who was about thirty years old, and he was born with a loyal and honest appearance. Although the Taoist robe is old, it is refreshing and tidy, and the bun is simple and does not lose the Taoist style.
Without waiting for the little Taoist priest beside him to fire, the man continued:
"The predecessors of the two mountains, the last place where the two of them appeared more than ten years ago was Gufeng Town, and there is no spiritual mountain within a radius of thousands of miles from Gufeng Town, except for a thousand mountains and half a mountain. You also know that one of the two of them is a peerless master of the Returning Spirit Realm, and the other is only one line away from reaching the perfection of the Wind Realm. Unless the two of them went to the forbidden place in the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains, there was no other place to go. ”
The old man of the two mountains held the teacup in one hand, his eyes drooped slightly, and he was silent, as if he regarded the words of the elderly Taoist priest as if he was in the middle of his ears.
And this Taoist priest was not angry, and continued to say to himself:
"Besides, the closest teleportation array to this place is also in the Qianzhong City under the jurisdiction of my Qingxu Heaven, I believe that if these two people are either hiding in the surrounding mountains or half mountains, or hiding in some villages, as for the possibility of escaping, it is not very likely. ”
The older Taoist priest stared meaningfully at the old man of the two mountains, and after a while, he continued:
"Senior, you are also a long-famous elder, don't you have wronged your cultivation by living in this small mortal village? Isn't the purpose of my generation cultivators just to find a place to live with spiritual energy and explore the ethereal and uncertain way of immortality? If you can tell the whereabouts of those two people, it will definitely be a matter of course to be a guest elder in my sect with your cultivation. ”
