Chapter 229: Origin
Plague infection, monsters raging, Yu Die'er hated Tong Qing repeatedly destroyed her perfect plan, so, in Tong Qing's doppelganger ruled in the territory of the country of China, launched a revenge and killing, committed a heinous crime, the lives were devastated, the bones were forested, and the bamboo was difficult to write, and many innocent people in China were wantonly slaughtered and killed by the devil, bloody and bloody, resulting in the horror and tragedy that many places in China were not populated.
In the southern Xinjiang of China, there are some people, afraid and afraid, taking advantage of the chaos, to escape the catastrophe, tossed to the depths of the inaccessible mountains, like savages survived, they have established many small villages, but at this time, the people who are fleeing the disaster, most of them are strong young men, they are blue and the same sex, they can no longer marry a wife, because in this unprecedented catastrophe, the vast majority of women have been ravaged by demons and monsters, to death.
There is a young man, his name is Gui Rongtai, he escaped the catastrophe with several childhood children of the same age, however, his family is not as lucky as him, except for him, all of them were killed, eighteen-year-old Gui Rongtai's family was ruined, at this time alone, far away from his hometown, displaced, and felt desolate.
Gui Rongtai is the only literate person in the fleeing crowd, his father was a teacher before his death, he was born in a scholarly family, admitted to the show to lift people, full of economy, a body of learning, therefore, the surrounding people, whether they knew or did not know before, need to write a document or something, will come to him to help write, Gui Rongtai is kind-hearted, he is also helpful, in this troubled world, is very respected by the famous villagers in the fleeing.
Seeing that it is about to come to the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the annual lunar calendar, the traditional folk festival of Chinese ghosts.
In the countryside of southern Xinjiang, there is such a custom, that is, on the 15th day of July when the deceased is commemorated, the text of the sacrifice to the dead must be written on the burned paper, and the name of the deceased must be written clearly, and the names of the descendants who burned the paper must also be written clearly.
In the more than ten days before July 15, Gui Rongtai was helping the villagers to write a memorial message, as for the reward, let the villagers according to their current actual situation, just give a little at will, as for those who have no money, and are still too poor, he is not a penny, obliged to write.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of July, the last night before the Halloween, Gui Rongtai helped write a day's memorial documents, after sending off the last of the villagers, he felt that his back hurt, very sleepy, so he planned to eat something to suppress hunger, go to bed early to rest.
However, just as he was eating some dry food and preparing to go to bed, there was a knock on the door again.
Gui Rongtai, who was extremely tired, shook his head helplessly, and had to open the door of his house, he guessed, probably someone from someone's family? He was too busy during the day to spare time, so he didn't have time to write a memorial document.
When I opened the door, there was an old lady standing at the door with a richly dressed and a dragon head cane in her hand, looking at her age, about eighty or ninety years old, this old man, full of wrinkles, looked like an old dragon clock, and Gui Rongtai didn't know her, nor had she ever met, very strange, but the residents from the nearby mountains came from all over China to escape the disaster, from all over China, in all directions, ****, then again, many of them (her), Gui Rongtai didn't know it!
Therefore, Gui Rongtai didn't ask much, but let the old man into his room, pushed away the paper, took out a pen, and prepared to help her write a sacrificial message.
However, unexpectedly, the old lady said in a hoarse voice: "Master Gui, there are too many people in the old village, and you can't finish it in a moment." I'm sorry, Master Gui, can you move your steps and go to the old village and help write for them?"
This old lady is very old, and while constantly pleading with Gui Rongtai, she said: "Master Gui, I won't tell you, the matter of helping the villagers write an edict is very important, and you can't be sloppy!"
At this moment, Gui Rongtai was extremely sleepy, and to be honest, he was really too lazy to walk.
However, people are not plants and trees, and when he saw the old man in front of him with tears in his eyes and kept pleading, his heart was very uncomfortable, so he fought hard, packed up the paper and pen and inkstone that had been spread out, and set off with the old lady without saying a word.
The old lady carried a lantern with a dead wind, and walked with difficulty in front of her with a kind cane, and the old man, with Gui Rongtai, walked through the small pine forest behind the house, and went straight to a winding path in the back mountain.
Gui Rongtai had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn't ask much in the end, this small village in the mountains, everyone fled here in twos and threes to avoid disasters, and the distribution was very scattered, some people chose to live under the crypt in the deep ravine, living in the shallow way; some people like to live in groups with stones in the middle of the mountainside, which is lively and lively; and some people live alone on the top of the mountain and live with wild beasts all year round.
In the troubled times, it is not easy to survive in the cracks!
In the dark night, on the mountain path, an old lady, with a descendant, silently rushed to the road.
After traveling for more than ten miles, suddenly, Gui Rongtai heard a faint noisy sound of people not far in front of him, mixed with chickens and dogs, so he guessed in his heart whether this was the village that the old man who led the way in front of him!
Continuing to walk forward, Gui Rongtai really saw a huge village, and in the faint light, it seemed that there were no less than hundreds of families in this village.
Gui Rongtai was very surprised and suspicious, the disaster was serious, the people were struggling to make a living, how could there be such a big village in the mountains? How could he not know before?
The old woman silently led Gui Rongtai into the village and came to a brightly lit ancestral hall in the middle of the village.
In this large ancestral hall, there are many spiritual seats, and a long square table has been prepared against the wall on the right side, and the paper money on the side of the table is piled up.
The old lady beckoned Gui Rongtai to sit down and rest for a while, and said that those who wanted to write the memorial were waiting outside the door.
"Old woman, you don't need to rest, you let them come in one by one now, and I will write an edict for them. ”
"Refreshing, Master Gui, I will let them (her) come in one by one, they will tell Master Gui the name to be written, and after Master Gui writes, they (she) will take 10 letters of paper money from me, and that's it. ”
The old woman went out to inform everyone, and then shouted twice to a house behind the ancestral hall: "A-Yao, come out quickly and serve tea to the guests!"
"It's coming!" I heard the door of the room behind the ancestral hall creak and open from the inside, and then, out of the room, a graceful and beautiful girl came out, holding a steaming teacup.
This girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, she walked into the ancestral hall slowly with light steps, and the girl's eyes flashed with smart brilliance.
"Guest, Jing drink tea!" The beautiful girl put the teacup in her hand on the table in front of Gui Rongtai without being humble or arrogant.
Gui Rongtai glanced at the girl named Ayao with his eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, he really couldn't imagine that in troubled times, avoiding trouble, lacking clothes and drinking, in the human world, he could still see this beautiful girl like a fairy.
The old lady saw Gui Rongtai's surprised look after seeing A-Yao, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
The old lady instructed her granddaughter A-Yao to help Gui Rongtai study ink on the side, so that she could write an edict for everyone.
The girl A-Yao nodded obediently, and then she didn't squint, and studied the ink very naturally.
When Gui Rongtai saw the girl Ayao like this, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, and began to seriously help everyone write the memorial documents.
That's it, outside the ancestral hall, men, women, and children came in one by one, and Gui Rongtai wrote them carefully according to the names they reported.
These people were very grateful to Gui Rongtai after holding the sacrificial documents, and they continued to bow and thank Gui Rongtai, and then, under the arrangement of the old lady, they went over one by one in order, and after receiving 10 letters of paper money in the hands of the old lady, they each withdrew from the ancestral hall very consciously.
Although Gui Rongtai's handwriting skills are quite good, it took more than five hours to help them finish all the documents they needed.
By this time, most of the night had passed, and the sound of a rooster crowing could be heard clearly in the village.
"It must not be a long time, the sky is about to dawn!" Gui Rongtai thought to himself.
Not long after, in the huge ancestral hall, there was only the old lady and two young men and women left.
The old lady was first grateful to Gui Rongtai for his meticulous and helpful writing of the edict, and then, her words suddenly changed, and she said to Gui Rongtai with a serious expression: "The old body knows that Gui Gongzi's family members all died unexpectedly, you escaped the disaster and came here, single, lonely, and the old man is your matchmaker, what do you think of A-Yao? She is the godgranddaughter of the old body, her background is pitiful, and her parents are dead, if Gui Gongzi really likes her, the old body will make the decision for you, and marry your godgranddaughter A-Yao as your wife, how about it?"
Hearing this, Gui Rongtai's heart suddenly "pounded".
Happiness came too suddenly, this year, disasters and disasters, one after another, not to mention such a beautiful wife, even an ugly woman village girl of the same age as herself, it is extremely difficult to find.
The old man often says: There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, and it is very important to continue the incense!
So, Gui Rongtai nodded hurriedly, and he quickly stood up, called "grandma" sweetly in his mouth, and then bowed down respectfully to the old lady.
The old lady stepped forward, supported Gui Rongtai, and said: "Master Gui, your help tonight is really immeasurable! Now, it is an extraordinary period, you two are married, and you don't need too much etiquette, you two will now worship the spiritual position of heaven and earth and ancestors, grandma and I will accept a salute from you two again, and you two will bow again, you will be husband and wife, virtuous grandson-in-law, you can take Ayao Ming and go home to live in a righteous manner!"
Seeing the old lady making such an arrangement, Gui Rongtai's heart immediately blossomed into happiness.
In the ancestral hall, Gui Rongtai and A Yao immediately bowed to heaven and earth and bowed to the spiritual position of their ancestors, and then bowed to each other as husband and wife, and finally bowed to the old lady.
The old lady's face bloomed with a smile, she trembled over, took the hands of Gui Rongtai and A Yao, and said: "Seeing that this day is about to dawn, virtuous grandson-in-law, you take Ah Yao home quickly! However, you two must remember that on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month every year in the future, you must return here to worship the ancestral spiritual position, and at other times, don't come, grandma is old, before leaving, you can see the two of you happily combined, and you are already satisfied!" A-Yao, go ahead, grandma wishes the two of you husband to sing with your wife, love each other, give birth to a noble son early, grow old together, and be happy and happy. ”
"Grandma, Ah Yao has written it down! Your old man can rest assured!" Ah Yao nodded vigorously, and tears overflowed in her bright eyes.
"Let's go!" The old lady walked the two of them out of the gate of the ancestral hall with a cane, and handed the angry lantern to Ah Yao by the way, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, there is a fixed number of origins and falls, you go home, grandma has nothing to send, just let this lantern help you two walk at night and use it for lighting!" After the old lady finished speaking, she eagerly urged them to leave here quickly.
The husband and wife turned around, bowed to the old lady again, got up, and walked along the mountain path.
Gui Rongtai's heart was so happy, he never dreamed that he helped write the paperwork for half the night, and when he came, he would be rewarded by a wife who was as beautiful as a flower.
After leaving the village for a mile, Gui Rongtai suddenly smelled a lot of paper money in the air, and hurriedly looked up, only to see the sky full of paper money floating in the night sky, mixed with a little green light.
"Hey, look, isn't that grandma? Why did her old man go to heaven? A-Yao, do you know? Grandma, what did her old man do in heaven?"
"Husband, don't ask so much, don't look at the sky, the land of right and wrong, don't stay for a long time, let's go quickly! It's too late, it may be too late!" Ah Yao seemed to know that something big had happened this night, anxiously holding her newlywed husband Gui Rongtai's hand, urging her to hurry, and soon, the two of them returned to Gui Rongtai's home.
Gui Rongtai always had a question in his heart, grandma is in heaven, she is absolutely an extraordinary person, what must A-Yao know? However, no matter how she asked, she just refused to say, what was she deliberately trying to hide?
............
The white horse pierces the gap.
In a blink of an eye, five months have passed, and Gui Rongtai and Ayao are very respectful and affectionate.
At first, the people in the village were very puzzled when they saw that Gui Rongtai suddenly married such a beautiful daughter-in-law and went home, and there were a few good people, and even began to secretly investigate and inquire about Ayao's origin, Gui Rongtai has been tight-lipped, and they can't find a clue in the end, and gradually, they slowly forget Ayao's origin.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve before the New Year, Ah Yao and Gui Rongtai kept a drink under the lamp.
After being drunk, Ah Yao looked at Gui Rongtai with confused eyes, and said truthfully after drinking: "Husband, don't hide it, I am not a human being as a wife, but a fox fairy in the mountains." As for Grandma, she is actually an angel of peace sent by Jehovah God to protect mankind from the devil's poisonous hands, and her name is Dong Wan'er.
A year ago today, I failed to cross the catastrophe and suffered a double strike of thunder and lightning. When the ashes were gone, two angels suddenly appeared, they shot in time, rescued me, gave me a second life, out of gratitude, I recognized the two of them as grandparents, of course, grandpa you have not seen, his old man saves the whole world, every day of work, very busy, tell you, grandpa's name is Tong Qing, the emperor of Huaguo, is a doppelganger of grandpa, husband, do you understand? I didn't tell you before, there is a last resort for my wife!
The grandparents and their husband and wife have a heavy responsibility to do the right thing for heaven, eliminate harm for the people, eliminate violence and peace, save mankind, and save suffering.
A year ago today, my grandparents rescued me in this mountain, and inadvertently, I crashed into an ancient battlefield in ancient times, and found that there were a lot of lonely souls and wild ghosts in it, and through investigation, I found out the reason, because these lonely souls and wild ghosts died in the cruel war of ancient times, and at that time they had not yet divided the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, so their souls have been stuck in the space of that ancient battlefield, after hundreds of billions of years, and they cannot be reborn.
The female demon Yu Die'er inadvertently discovered this group of lonely ghosts in the ancient war, and wanted to collect them, if she succeeded, the human world would cease to exist.
Therefore, the grandfather controls the game strongly, resists the female demon Yu Die'er, and fights with him against good and evil.
On the eve of the 15th Ghost Festival on the 15th day of July, my grandmother suddenly received the will of the two lords of the earth, Jehovah and Satan, and asked her old man to come forward and invite her husband to help.
Jehovah and Satan, the two lords of the earth, with the power of Halloween, sent their ghosts back to the shadows that night, and the husband did something of great merit that had never been done before!
Grandma went to the sky that night to assist Grandpa in suppressing the troublesome destruction of the female demon Yu Die'er.
Grandma prayed fervently to the two gods of Jehovah and Satan, to control the situation strongly, and to maintain world peace, more than 300 envoys came to help grandparents do this, surpass these hundreds of millions of undead, enter the six realms of reincarnation to reincarnate, and successfully complete the task, after that, grandparents are busy with other things.
In fact, few people know, the real age of grandparents is not very old, you see no grandma in your eyes, in fact, it is a deliberate illusion of her, she doesn't want the world to know that she and grandpa will guard the world for a long time, let the demons and monsters run rampant for a while, and then seize the opportunity to catch them all.
Husband, I just let Ren know the inside story today, you won't want Ah Yao, right? After all, the two of us are shemales with different paths!"
After Gui Rongtai heard this, he suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly solved.
"What are you talking about, a beautiful, kind and gentle fox fairy wife like you, how could I be willing to leave you as a husband?" Gui Rongtai made a decision in his heart.
Since then, Gui Rongtai cherishes this adventure lover even more, and the couple enthusiastically helps people solve the difficulties they encounter in life, and the fox fairy Ayao eliminated the vigilance and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Gui Rongtai, and the three brothers and sisters are all very promising.
The eldest son, Gui Tianyuan, is infinitely powerful, smart and clever, and likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and hunt for adventures.
This year, Gui Tianyuan was twelve years old.
Once, during his travels, he suddenly heard that there was a four-horned beast lurking in the nearby Lishan Mountain, which was a scourge to humans and devoured flesh and blood, so he took his twin brother Gui Tianyuan and his sister Guixiang, who was one year younger, into the mountains to look for him, intending to do the right thing for heaven and eliminate harm for the people.
The three brothers and sisters went into the mountain to look for a long time, but they did not find the four-horned beast, seeing that it was too late for the night to fall, the three brothers and sisters were in a hurry, and suddenly, they saw the light in the mountain col in front of them, so they decided to go over and ask for a night, and continue to look for the four-horned beast during the day tomorrow.
The three brothers and sisters walked into the mountain col, and when they came closer, they found that it was a Taoist temple, and there was a middle-aged Taoist priest in the temple.
After sitting down and talking for a long time, the three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan were hungry, so the Taoist priest went down to cook and made three bowls of noodles for them to eat.
The noodles are also ordinary noodles, but there are pieces of chicken neck in them, and the soup is very clear, and when you taste it, it is unusually delicious.
The three brothers and sisters were amazed, so they asked the Taoist priest, and he didn't see the chickens, where did so many chicken necks come from, but the Taoist priest smiled and did not answer.
As he was talking, a strong wind suddenly rose outside, and although the windows were closed, the candle flame suddenly became smaller.
The three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan only said that the sky was about to change, but the Taoist priest said: "There is an enemy who is looking for revenge and comes to the door, you three brothers and sisters stay in the house and wait, don't run around, I will go to meet the enemy!" After speaking, he walked out.
After a while, I heard the voice of the Taoist priest outside the door, saying, "Since you are here, you were supposed to meet on the spot, but today I have three distinguished guests coming to the door, so let's change it to tomorrow." ”
The three little brothers and sisters, boldly, looked through the window and saw that the Taoist priest was standing in the courtyard, but in front of him was not a person, but a huge python.
The shape of this butterfly snake is quite strange, the body is only four or five feet long, and the width is about two feet, it is simply square, the upper body raised to look at the Taoist priest, and when the Taoist priest said this, the python nodded its head and disappeared from the courtyard.
When the Taoist priest came into the house, the three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan couldn't hold back any longer, so they asked about what happened just now.
The Taoist priest sighed and said: "Actually, I am not a real Taoist priest, my name is Tong Qing, I am a messenger to maintain world peace, for the heavens, to eliminate violence and peace, I have a hobby, like to catch snakes and raise snakes, just now, the meat seen in the noodles eaten by your three brothers and sisters is actually not a chicken neck, but a snake segment." ”
"What?snake meat?Do you want to be so evil!" The three siblings were taken aback, but, after thinking about it carefully, in retrospect, the snake segment was unusually delicious, so they asked Tong Qing what he was doing raising snakes?
Tong Qing said that the main purpose of raising snakes is to take gall and take yellow pills to cure all kinds of diseases and drive away plagues.
Snake yellow is a stone in the body of the snake, is an extremely precious traditional Chinese medicine, Tong Qing raised the snake to take the gall to take the yellow, used to serve the human race, the three brothers and sisters listened to the solemn respect.
Tong Qing also raised snakes and killed snakes that attracted the snake king.
The descendants of the snake king were killed a lot by Tong Qing, and the snake king wanted to fight for revenge.
I heard that Tong Qing was in trouble, and the three brothers and sisters wanted to go with him tomorrow, one was to help, and the other was that this kind of fighting was rare in my life, so I was really curious and wanted to see it.
At first, Tong Qing was very embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go!" Because Tong Qing knows that the snake king is very spiritual and will not hurt the innocent, and his life and death are uncertain.
The next day, Tong Qing cut a lot of bamboo sticks, and then took the three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan to the top of the mountain, took out the realgar and gave him three, asking him to put it in his mouth, hide behind the big stone in front of him, and explain with thousands of instructions that he must not come out in the middle of the fight.
After the three siblings nodded in agreement, Tong Qing walked forward alone.
After a while, the wind was fierce.
The three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan had the courage to probe to look, only to see that the grass was moving and constantly lodging, and the snake king had already swam over.
When it was about six or seven steps away in front of Tong Qing, the Snake King stopped, and it spewed out yellow smoke from its mouth violently, and it smelled from a distance, and it was still an unusually fishy smell.
Tong Qing kept throwing the bamboo skewers out, and every time he threw them, the yellow mist faded a little, but soon, it became thick again.
Gradually, the yellow mist shrouded the eyes of the three brothers and sisters around Fang Yuanzhang Xu and Gui Tianyuan, and they couldn't see anything, and they didn't know what happened to Tong Qing? The ambition of the three brothers and women when they came was gone, and the three brothers and sisters were very frightened.
After a while, I could only hear Tong Qing's footsteps, but he staggered back, and as soon as he reached the stone where the three siblings were hiding, he fell to the ground.
The three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan were taken aback, and hurriedly ran out, helped Tong Qing up, and found that Tong Qing's whole body was swollen, and he couldn't speak, but he just pointed to his chest, Gui Tianyuan touched his chest, and saw a jade pendant necklace, and a small porcelain bottle emerged from the jade pendant necklace, which contained two bright red pills, and let Tong Qing take it.
After a long while, Tong Qing woke up.
When the yellow mist dissipated, the three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan went over to take a look, only to see that the snake king was gone, and the ground where the fight was fought was densely packed with bamboo sticks, and two-thirds of each one was deep into the soil, and some were even inserted in stones.
When the three brothers and sisters saw Tong Qing's victory, they were still terrified, so they asked him, "Have you already killed the Snake King?"
Tong Qing shook his head and said, "At that time, I did my best, but I still only let the Snake King get injured and escape, and I couldn't hurt its life. This fight, although it was a fluke victory, however, the snake king has a male and a female, this time only the male snake king came, and the female snake king will definitely come within three days, but it is more than twice as big. The male snake king is so difficult to deal with, and when the female snake king comes, he is definitely not an opponent, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape. ”
When the three siblings heard this, they were all shocked and persuaded him to just run away.
Tong Qing said, "The Snake King is spiritual, even if it is thousands of miles away, it can still be chased." If I hide in a densely populated place, and the Serpent King chases after me, all the jade and stones will be burned, and the lives will be ruined, and the evil will be great, and I cannot do that, because I am an envoy to protect the safety of the world. What is an envoy? You know?"
The three brothers and sisters of Gui Tianyuan listened to it very well, and asked him if he had any other way, Tong Qing sighed and said: "There is a way, maybe you can hide it from the snake king, but this matter must be helped by your three brothers and ladies." ”
Back at the Taoist Temple, Tong Qing sent the three brothers and sisters to hurry on the road and go to a place to help contact Dong Wan'er to come over and assist him in dealing with the female snake king.
The three siblings set off overnight.
The next day, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the mountain roads were all washed away.
On the third day, the three brothers and sisters rushed to the Taoist temple again and found that the Taoist temple had turned into rubble, and Tong Qing no longer knew where to go.
On Oriole Mountain, the four-horned beast also disappeared out of thin air.
