Chapter 179: A Wanderer in the Mountains
The speed of the little turtle is slightly slow, but it is still vigorous and powerful, stepping on the sea water and encountering a mountain of dozens of zhang, the mountain is steep, there is only a fruit tree glowing with red light on it, occupying the entire mountain, but after a while, he arrived in front of him, just wanted to swim up, and suddenly there was a smell of blood shrouded in the side of the mountain, a blood-colored bird's beak burst out, his eyes were like oil lamps in the night, Li Shuishan was stunned.
"What is this?"
Just as the turtle looked at it, his mouth trembled and said, "Maybe it's a magic weapon left by some scattered cultivation." ”
Li Shuishan jumped to the side of the mountain, looking at the fruit tree above, his eyes were a little obsessed, the trunk was forked left and right, showing a person's posture of opening his arms, the blood-colored beak hissed loudly, and opened his mouth to spit out human words: "The little ghost leaves quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Suddenly, a white light appeared in the sky, and a middle-aged man who flew in a hurry, wearing an egret figure, with a dragon scale sword behind him, stabbed at the bird's beak with a flamboyant stab, only to hear a ding, the sword slipped down and inserted into the mountain, the bird's beak opened, like a black shaft to open a painting, the blood dripping from the mouth fell, a pair of black mist condensed, and flew out of the gloomy crow.
The middle-aged man snorted, the robe on his body bulged, his blood churned, he withdrew the dragon scale sword, and said coldly: "Blood Fang, your master is dead, you don't have to stick to what you are looking for, put the spirit fruit on the mountain, kneel in front of me and become my slave, I will spare you to die." ”
Bloody teeth and thin mouth, the lights on the eyes suddenly brightened.
Its body is as light as a picture scroll, and it looks like a person facing a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang monster, the blood-colored dragon teeth open its mouth and spew black mist, the side feathers are white and straight, short but with blood, the sparse arm feathers are like a finger short blade, the hair color is sharp under the faint light, the skin and flesh below are like hanging curtains, and it is full of jewel-like fluorescence, it doesn't care at all, galloping and spreading its wings.
With a breath of relief, he sat beside the fruit tree, guarding the tree with arms like a man.
"Although I am not human, I have a little discernment, and I can see the good and evil light and darkness of people's hearts. The master is the inheritor of a mountain and a stroke, and he pulled out a sum and gave it to you mountain people, cutting off his own practice, and now you are greedy and selfish, and you want to swallow the spiritual fruit he turned into, and you are mad. Now, the years have passed, and the monks of the peaks will come again, how brutal will you arrogant mountain people be?"
The middle-aged man touched his sleeve and wiped his sword, letting the blood stain his robe red, and his eyes glared angrily, "Respect the stars on the mountain, the mountain under the stars is the top of Taibei Mountain, and the Heavenly Punishment Road is the road to heaven, you think that the monks of the peaks are so friendly, and when you die, you won't say that." ”
He sighed lightly, and saw a young man next to the turtle, looking at him with empty hands and gloomy eyes, he took a sharp breath of spiritual energy, and said, "Zhufeng Dao robe, you and other weak disciples dare to go out of the city alone, not afraid of being buried in the belly of the fish?"
Li Shuishan said with a calm and calm face: "It is the Zhufeng Monk. ”
"I'm weak, but I'm bold, and I want to see the danger inside the sword. ”
The middle-aged man looked unashamed and said, "Be bold, not afraid of death? Hurry up and get out of the way! When you kill demons, you don't care how strong or weak your cultivation is." A Condensation Realm monk like you, I can kill with a single finger. ”
Li Shuishan stood silently in place, and the turtle shook his sleeve and said softly: "Let's go, the green mountains are still the same, such big treasures are not something you and I can contaminate, let's go to the whirlpool of water and sea behind the green mountains to play." ”
Not waiting
He left, the middle-aged man stepped down into the air, and began to kill the paper-like blood-toothed bird, countless voices roared behind him, one after another sword tricks jumped to the mountain stone, the turtle supported Li Shuishan to a hundred zhang away, the mountain was covered with a thicker blood mist, a bird's beak cracked, roaring murderous, and then a white light from top to bottom, boom, the tragic birdsong came, the fruit tree was taken into a small bag by the monk, thrown into his sleeve, and left with a ruthless face.
Li Shuishan sat down cross-legged, feeling a little sad, he had heard the blood bird urging him to leave with some coldness, not wanting him to be affected by the grievances between them, and its determination to protect the fruit tree with both arms was so great, in the dark, the fruit tree was its owner.
The endless secluded sea floats, and finally you can see a mountain, the green green birds are happy, the grass and flowers are luxuriant, the woods are hidden, the mountains and rivers break the bamboo, a stream flows down, the whirring moist water vapor comes to the face, and there is a man behind him who is holding up a bamboo raft and swimming.
This person was dressed in green clothes, with wide sleeves, small eyes and pointed nose, a cloth hat on his head that covered half of his eyes, thin arms, and a long pole, calling out: "But Daoist friends from Zhufeng?"
Li Shuishan turned his head and replied, "Exactly." I don't know if you're from Zhufeng?"
The man raised his forehead, pulled up the brim of his hat, and some splashes in front of him wet his trouser legs, and said politely, "No." Below is a loose cultivator who sneaked into this place, self-styled, and wandered the mountains and scattered people. ”
Li Shuishan was a little surprised, he heard that there were few scattered cultivators, and now he met two or three, hugged his fists, and said softly: "In the lower peaks, the monk is a Tibetan student." Now I see a green mountain interesting and the scenery is good, but I heard that there is a Luo demon here, so I took a few careful looks and left. ”
You Shansan said mournfully: "No, no, no. I've been here for more than two months, and I've seen green mountains and green waters, but I don't see any monsters. I also personally groped the cave of the Tibetan demon barefoot, like a smoky stone shattered, I am afraid that the aura is insufficient, and I have to sleep deeply. Wait for the rain to fall in Baolin once before you can awaken the consciousness of the Luo demon, besides, these monsters are not like those invincible, bloody and incompetent little demons. When the water in the whirlpool dries up, it's a chance. Can you take a look?"
Li Shuishan said happily: "If you don't dislike me, a low-level monk, I might as well be respectful, and it's boring to watch the scenery alone anyway." ”
The turtle was not happy, but looked at the man and did not dare to speak.
You Shansanren sat on the bamboo chair and shook it gently, laughing and reciting the poem 'Baixiu Yishui Spirit Turtle Appears', referring to the turtle with a shrunken head, and praised it wantonly, "I know that the swimming fish in this water are good, and I also know that the seabirds in the sky are good." But this little turtle Youman can be regarded as a good mount for sightseeing and pastime. He pondered for a while, and then said, "This turtle seems to be a bit mysterious, it is a decent treasure, and it must not be seen by greedy monks, otherwise it will not be protected." ”
Li Shuishan patted the turtle shell and said with great satisfaction: "My cultivation is weak, and I don't dare to go far, for fear that it is rare to meet a kind-hearted monk like Youshan Sanren." ”
Hey, the wandering people were a little ashamed, and when they reached the corner of the green mountain, there were Baise flowers hanging on one side of the green vine, and the sea water that had been swimming away became cyan here, and the floating grass and flowers, and the algae aquatic creatures hanging with the fruits were hit by the waves on the bamboo raft, and were scooped up by his thin palm, and the green algae were removed, leaving a diamond-shaped fruit, the size of a thumb, with a pimple-like texture, patted it lightly, and held it in his left hand.
He picked it up in a row
More than a dozen, got up and jumped ashore, and said with a smile: "This is the green spirit fruit, it is a good spiritual object in the middle and lower grades, sweet and delicious, the entrance turns into silk, when the weather is hot, it can penetrate the heart and cool the stomach, and when the weather is cold, it can warm the heart and strengthen the gall, replenish the qi and blood." If you eat too much, you will have nosebleeds and your belly will swell, which is a good thing for you and me monks who are not very cultivated. ”
The turtle shrunk to an inch in size, shrunk its head, and leaned on the reef compactly, Li Shuishan held it up with one hand and put it in the palm of his hand.
You Shansanren is in good shape, bare-skinned and big-footed, ten toes are crooked, and the toe covers are hollow and rotten, as if they have been invaded by venom, stepping on the ground and humming, just stepping over the gravel ground at an acute angle, and shouting with an indifferent face: "Tibetan Taoist friends, keep up quickly, make a few cups of tea, and I'll take you to see a few caves in the water vortex, which is extremely interesting." ”
Li Shuishan quickened his pace, and what caught his eyes again was a flat land, with a reef of ten feet, a few inches, and a chaotic layout, but some of the birds around his ears were extremely cheerful, hungry and thirsty and anxiously calling for a wandering mountain in green clothes.
When many green clouds fall in front of a small hole, the cry is joyful, the people who travel the mountains are smiling, throwing out a few green spirit fruits, a few short-winged gray tails, the birds of the green feathers compete to take away, fall into the mountain stream leisurely grab food, and vomit out the water in the fish's mouth in the scattered puddle, lubricating the ground.
You Shansanren stopped beside a stone pile, touched a cold and drooping rock with his palm, clicked a few times, turned into a stone table, and the rock behind him became a leaf match, signaling him to sit down, hurriedly ran into the cave, and took out a stone pot, the mouth handle was slightly flat, the handle of the pot hung three or four inches high, grinding so that it was faint and reflective, the teapot was crooked and full, the body was wide and fat an inch more, and he was filled with water in the whirlpool behind him with a smile.
The kettle was placed on the stone table, and he threw the remaining Qingling Fruit in his left hand, and after brewing for a long time, he said: "This fruit can be eaten, it can be used to make tea, and the drinking is not enough, and the tea is fragrant! By the way, the stone pot tea is cold, not hot, you can drink it?"
Li Shuishan sat on the stone, threw the turtle on the ground, let him play, looked up and replied, "Yes." However, tea is warm, and overheated tea is also delicious. I'll try cold tea. ”
Soon the tea is fragrant, poured into the stone cup, the cyan water looks a little difficult to eat, but after entering the stomach, it turns into an aura, extending around the acupuncture points, after a blur in the eyes, squinting and meditating, but found that the tea is a little delicate, but the taste of the green spirit fruit is a little green, and the fluffy silk shape turns into a ball from the mouth into the stomach, and then merges after being flushed, and the action of drinking water does not stop gathering and scattering.
Cold and fragrant, Ning Xin invigorates the heart.
Immediately, a sour taste poured into the back of the nasal cavity, and it felt like drinking vinegar, and I sighed, and I felt warm and cold in my heart, and said: "It's really wonderful! The white silk enters the mouth, turns into sweet and sour, and the warmth is wrapped in cold, which makes people can't help but sigh." ”
You Shansanren squinted and smiled: "Another drink." I don't give you too much good things to drink, I'm afraid that if you meet a beautiful woman, your nosebleeds will not stop, and when the time comes, people will be ashamed to make you responsible for her, and if you blame me, I can't do anything. ”
After drinking a cup again and resting for a while, Li Shuishan picked up the turtle and got up, the turtle laughed heartily, and his voice was rough, which caused the people of You Shansan to exclaim: "Talking turtle? This turtle shell is quite old, and it seems that it has lived for a long time." By the way, how do you sell this turtle? I'll trade my treasure for you. ”
The turtle stopped smiling and lay obediently in Li Shuishan's palm.
