Chapter 2: The Bone Cave

Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sky is mysterious, the earth is yellow, the four directions are said to be the universe, the ancient and modern times are called the sky, the flood is flooding, and the earth is desolate.

On the vast land, the grass and trees are forested, the monsters are rampant, but there is no road, an old woman carries a stone axe and holds a child in her arms, followed by a young woman in linen who holds a bone knife in her hand, and the young woman in linen scans the four directions nervously with a basket on her back.

They have been trekking through mountains and rivers for three months.

"Dumb ......"

The old crow on the dead tree made a sudden sound, the young woman was startled, but the old woman laughed, and the old woman said to the young woman with a puzzled face: "Qing'er don't panic, this is the spirit bird crow of Skull Mountain, this is already my aunt's white bone realm, no demon beast dares to hurt people here." ”

The young woman wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath, "Mother-in-law, what kind of person is Niangniang, how could she accept such a black and ugly bird as a spirit bird?"

The old woman smiled lightly and said softly: "Auntie, she is a very good and easy-going person, and she is also very special, you will know it when you see it." Also, don't underestimate these crows, they know human nature, know life and death, are domesticated by their aunts, and have the ability to find fairy bones. ”

The young woman nodded absentmindedly, bit her lip and asked, "Mother-in-law, if you bring us here privately, will the mother be angry?"

"Young girl, how many times have you asked along the way, no, my aunt is rarely angry with her juniors, and she also likes our human race. ”

"Plop Plop ......"

A group of crows in the sky grabbed a huge skeleton and flew over, and the young woman was shocked again, this skeleton can't be the big demon, it's more than five or six times larger than the tiger demon skeleton.

"Mother-in-law, is that there?" the young woman pointed to a strange mountain in the distance, and asked worriedly, this place is not a good place at first glance, how could the mother choose such a bad place to live?

The old woman didn't answer, she looked at the mountain of white bones and tears, a hundred years, she has left Skull Mountain for a full hundred and seventeen years, the mountain is higher again, and there are more bones.

"Dumb dumb little cui little cui little cui little cui little cui little cui little cui !

The crows chirped with her name interspersed. A few crows flew down the hill to the top of the hill and flew towards the old woman, and the little one in the old woman's arms woke up, and he looked at the crows in the sky with his dark eyes open.

The old woman was amused, and scolded with a smile: "Xiaobao, you are a greedy little thing, you want to eat when you see a bird, this is all grandmother's old age, older than your grandfather, you want to call Father-in-law Crow." ”

"Father-in-law!" The child called out twice in ignorance and curiosity.

"Xiao Cui, you're back!"

"Xiaocui, is this your grandson?"

"Xiaocui, I also have many children and grandchildren. ”

"Little Cui, Little Cui......"

The four crows kept talking in their gong-like voices.

The old woman didn't dislike it at all, listened carefully, and congratulated with a smile: "Ah Wu, you have refined the horizontal bones, it is really gratifying!"

"Yes, yes, I can speak!"

"Congratulations!

"Xiao Cui, the master is at home!

"Xiaocui, I'll report the news!"

The crows were so enthusiastic that they couldn't close their mouths when they saw the deceased.

The old woman couldn't stop laughing, and she returned, and this was her first home.

Skull Mountain, White Bone Cave, the evil spirit is difficult to walk towards the immortals.

"Xiao Cui!"

"Xiao Cui!"

Two cute-looking children ran towards her.

"Blue clouds, colorful clouds!"

The old woman took her grandson's little hand and walked forward quickly, Biyun Boy and Caiyun Boy were Aunt Seat Dao Tong, and the two children were Zhilan Chengjing, with a simple character, and they were her childhood playmates.

The boy stepped forward and tilted his head for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiaocui, you are so old." ”

Caiyun nodded: "If you don't come down the mountain, you will definitely be like us." ”

The old woman said with envy: "Biyun, Caiyun, you really haven't changed at all, you haven't grown up at all!"

The boy pouted: "Auntie said, adults have a lot of troubles, let us grow up slowly, and also, we are not called Biyun Caiyun now, my aunt changed our new name." ”

"Oh, new names, and what's your name?"

"My name is ruthless, Caiyun is called affectionate, my aunt said that the clouds are easy to disperse and have no roots, which is detrimental to blessings, and now we are ruthless boys and affectionate boys, taking the meaning of 'the Tao is ruthless but affectionate'. ”

The ruthless boy said with a smug face.

The sentient girl was very shy, she greeted the old woman and the young woman, and said, "Xiaocui, my aunt asked us to come and pick you up into the cave." ”

"Okay! I was about to see my aunt. ”

The two children are bouncing in front, looking innocent and romantic, Xiaobao's little eyes are blinking, and the affectionate young lady is good-looking, and her voice is good.

The three generations of the old woman's ancestors and grandchildren followed the little boy up the mountain step by step, and after about a quarter of an hour, the three of them came to the two stone doors, and the merciless boy gently pushed the door, and the door opened.

"Xiaocui, hurry up, my aunt is waiting!"

"Hey!" the old woman replied, but her steps were not large, and she was more cautious than homesick.

The young woman held her son but did not have many emotions of her mother-in-law at all, she just looked curiously around the white bone cave, and she imagined that it was completely different, she thought that the ghost spirit did not exist, on the contrary, the cave was elegant and pure, not only did not see a trace of yin and evil spirit, but was full of vitality, strange flowers bloomed, fairy grass was fragrant, and saw green jade paving the ground, white jade for the wall, there was a green lantern hanging on the top, and there was purple smoke from the incense burner on the ground.

"Auntie, aunt, Xiaocui is back!"

The old woman looked at the blue-robed woman on the high platform with teary eyes, and she was about to bow down when her knees bent, but she couldn't kneel.

"Well, you know that I don't pay attention to these customs, and besides, you are a hundred years old, and worshipping me makes me uncomfortable, thinking that when you and I first met, you were only seven years old, and now you are an old man who has become a grandmother. ”

The light voice has an indescribable charm, which penetrates people's hearts and moisturizes things silently.

The young woman stared at the high platform in a daze, Niangniang, Niangniang, this is Shiji Niangniang, temperament is like orchid, quiet and elegant, like a mortal woman, ancient blue robe, long hair shawl, no decoration, natural and clean.

She couldn't have imagined that the mother who slayed the tiger demon like a mustard would be like this, no wonder her mother-in-law said that people who have never seen the mother will never understand.

The old woman burst into tears, choked up and said, "Little Cui...... Xiao Cui ...... No matter how old she is, it is also the little cui under my aunt...... If it weren't for her aunt who rescued Xiaocui from the wolf's mouth, how could Xiaocui have lived to be a hundred years old. ”

Shi Ji smiled lightly and said, "Don't cry, you're a lot older, let your daughter-in-law and grandchildren laugh." You are the first person I have seen in the wilderness, let you call me aunt, I will treat you as a relative, you and I don't have to see each other. ”

The old woman cried again and said to her grandson and daughter-in-law, "Hurry up...... Kowtow...... Substitute mother-in-law for ...... Kowtow to your aunt, aunt. ”

"Aoki meets her aunt. ”

"Xiaobao...... Xiaobao, meet Tai...... Auntie. ”

Shi Ji nodded, flicked lightly, one big and one small stood up involuntarily, Shi Ji said to the old woman: "You should know, I don't like to kowtow to people, and I don't like others to kowtow to me, which is why I have been reluctant to show up several times." ”

The old woman sighed: "Auntie, you haven't changed at all, you haven't changed at all, but Xiaocui has changed unconsciously, I like people to call me mother-in-law, I like the younger generation to kowtow to me, and I like to rely on the old to teach others." ”

Shi Ji smiled: "Understand, you are the grandmother in the hearts of thousands of people in the Mang tribe, I am just a Taoist aunt in the barren mountains and mountains, you need majesty, but I don't need it." ”

"Auntie, don't laugh at Xiaocui. The old woman stamped her foot in annoyance, as if she had returned to her childhood when she was teased by her aunt.

The old woman motioned for the young woman to offer the basket, "Auntie, this is the spiritual fruit of my human tribe, I brought some for you to taste." ”

Shi Ji frowned and said, "I'm not ignorant of the human race's situation, you shouldn't have brought these." ”

"Auntie, this is a little bit of Xiao Cui's heart. ”

Shi Ji nodded slightly and shouted, "Affectionate, ruthless." ”

"Auntie?" the two boys ran over.

"Go and wash the fruits, and then go and pick some spiritual tea. ”

"Yes. ”

The two boys left with the bamboo basket, and Shi Ji was just about to say something, when a charming voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "Shiji Taoist friends are here, Qingqiu Tu Sanniang is here to visit." ”
