148. Vicissitudes of life
After the road encounters human beings burning the mountain and reclaiming the wasteland, then turn over a few small peaks, on the top of the last peak, there is already a golden rice field under the mountain, the rice waves are continuous, and there is no end in sight.
On both sides of the peaks, there are some peaks that stretch out, but further south and west, you can only pass through this endless rice field.
At the foot of the third small mountain peak on the left, there is a large human village, and in addition, among the continuous rice waves, there is no shortage of small villages in the east and west.
Starting from the large village, there is an avenue that runs south across the rice paddies, and another avenue runs east-west at the foot of the mountain peak.
There was some confusion in the buck's eyes.
The little demons all looked at Master Deer.
Along the way, in strict accordance with the rules of the escape, the original fearful human realm, has passed through an unknown number of miles, to now, not to mention the little mountain spirit and the five steps, the dog treasure, even the confidence is not very good in the blue eye, the old plague, Langlang, Yuanxiang, I have all believed that with this deer master, can really reach the holy ape mountain.
But now, the deer demon took a few steps back and muttered, "Strange!"
Wubu asked softly, "What's strange?"
The deer demon shook his head vigorously and changed the topic: "This rice field is too wide, I don't know which avenue to follow, desperately run south, maybe I can get through one night?"
This rice field is so vast that there is no end in sight on the peaks, I don't know how many paths there are, and there is no shelter to the south, so it is impossible to avoid the sight of the human villagers during the day, whether it is deer, musk deer, wolves, wild boars, or bison, it is too strange to appear in the rice fields, and it is too strange to come and hunt for them without reporting them to the monks.
If you want to pass through quietly, there is only one night, do you want to go further south, or do you want to change to the west?
Wubu thought that he understood the concerns of the deer demon, and was about to mobilize the little demons to think together, but the deer master said categorically: "Raise enough strength here, hurry at night, and go south!"
Hey, he's made up his mind?
The little demons each found a place to rest, and chose to believe in the stupid deer in five steps, and buried their doubts first.
Over there, Langlang opened his mouth and asked, "Master, after running for a few days, my stomach is a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
After running for these days, the physical exertion is not small, and even if the youkai can endure it, he should feel hungry. The deer demon, the bull demon, and the musk demon are very good at looking for food; the pig demon is omnivorous, and can also fill some belly indiscriminately; the frog demon will not lack food as long as he is willing; only the snake demon and the wolf demon are two carnivores, and they have no time to hunt, but the snakes have a very strong ability to endure hunger, and before the demon is transformed, they can also manage the first half of the year after a full meal, and they will not cry hungry in five steps.
The deer demon looked at his bag, there was still a small half of the cured meat left, and he couldn't remember when the little demon meat was saved, since the wolf demon shouted that he was hungry, he spit it out on the grass.
The marinated little demon meat, there is still some aura, and it can pad the stomach, Langlang ran over happily and took it away, but unfortunately there was less.
After the war, the Jingping Mountain banquet has been full for three months, but unfortunately it has fled, and it can no longer be eaten, and the blue eyes and the old plague are a little envious, watching the piece of cured meat being swallowed by Langlang in a few bites.
Yuan Xiang over there was even worse, and his throat couldn't help but squirm and swallow saliva, but unfortunately he didn't have the right to say anything about it.
After staying up until dark, the lights in the villages were all extinguished, and the team set off down the mountain, led by the deer demon to the southward avenue.
The rice field can't see the end, the speed is important, this time the queue is not extended, the snake demon also took a tailwind mount, and the monsters marched in unison along the main road in the rice field.
The middle road in the rice field is not a ridge, although it is hard and not easy to leave footprints, but it leads to various small villages, this time it runs close to the village, alarming many villages The dogs bark non-stop.
During the day, it had been determined that except for the big villages by the rice sea, these villages were very small, and there would be no monks stationed, and the same was true for the land temple and the like, the dog barked, and there was no trouble, and the deer demon only paid attention to other movements, and led the team to rush forward.
Running all night, the rice waves have a feeling of boundlessness, all have not seen the end, seeing that it is about to dawn, and the five steps on the back of the dog treasure are in a hurry.
The industrious farmer got up early, and the deer demon had already noticed that the day was about to dawn, and randomly found a very narrow ridge of thin mud, and motioned to follow along.
The deer demon went first, but did not step on the muddy ridge, only jumped into the water with a "poof", and turned around and shouted: "Walk under the water on both sides, there will be no footprints, go to the depths of your own house to find a piece of land to cover your body, only show your head out, if someone really approaches, hide your head in the water!"
After speaking, he stepped on the mud in the field, walked along the ridge of the field, and then separated the rice to the middle of the field, and squatted down with only his head exposed.
The surrounding area is full of rice that can be harvested in more than a month, and he will definitely not be seen on the outer avenue.
One by one, they all learned the deer demon, except for the dog treasure is a little big, and there are a lot of overwhelmed rice, the other little demons are not conspicuous, listening to the sound of frogs from all around, the blue eyes are the most comfortable.
There is a faint demonic aura, and the underwater leeches do not come to disturb. The ridge is too narrow, in fact, it only plays the role of blocking the water land, it is difficult to stand on it, so it is difficult to catch fish and shrimp in the leisure, no one enters, and I do not find that this side is overwhelmed rice field.
Hiding in the rice fields for a day, after the dark people slept quietly, they all came out again, shook off the mud and ran south along the avenue.
This night, I also met a torch along the road to rush to another village, to find Langzhong to see a doctor for his family, the deer demon noticed early, and took the little demons to hide in the rice field to avoid.
The dog barked and ran for most of the night, only to finally run to the end of the rice sea, there is a big village over there, afraid of meeting the ghost clan again at night, the deer demon led the rice field, far away to go.
Finally, I had to cross this sea of rice, but when I climbed up the dirt and stone hill behind me, all the monsters were dumbfounded.
As far as the eye can see, there are no trees, mountains, or rice fields in front of you, only some sparse weeds, and the rest are all rocks and sand, which is clearly a piece of the Gobi Desert.
There is a strong wind howling, the dots of weeds swaying together, and the wind kicks up a lot of dust, and there is no end in sight to this Gobi Desert.
Continue south or go west?
The king of filling water is uneasy and kind, and brags to kill the demon, and for so many days to the south, where is the big puddle and the heron king?
The deer demon put away his confusion, looked back at the many trees under the stone hill behind him, and said in a low voice: "Find a place to hide first, and then talk about it in the morning." β
Is Fill B lying or going the wrong way?
Hiding in the forest, the deer demon stared at the big village two or three miles away, until he saw the dawn.
As in other human villages, as the light grew stronger, some of the smoke rose in the village, and began to boil noisily again.
After a while, farmers came out of the firewood gate one after another, or carried axes to the surrounding area to cut firewood, or went out with sickles to cut grass, or shouted at cattle, donkeys, sheep and other livestock.
didn't let Lu Bao wait too long, an old farmer with gray hair led two big and one small three buffaloes, and walked slowly and leisurely to this side.
This place is not far from the big village, and it can take a little risk, Lu Bao's musculokeletal writhing and turning into a human form.
He took on a human form, and the little mountain spirit could not be hidden in the ear hole, and the mountain monster jumped out of his own house.
It's good that the demon Ding can restrain his demonic energy more than the little demon, and he feels good, so he turned his head and asked, "Does the old man look like a human?"
Knowing that he was going to pretend to be a person to talk to him, he looked up and down in five steps, and felt weird, Lang Lang said first: "My far-sighted human race, the hair on his head is very long, and the old man's hair is shorter!"
The deer demon stretched out his hand and stroked his hair, which was indeed too short compared to humans, so he shook the demonic qi and let the roots of the hair fall out.
It's just that he has the power of "regeneration", and growing hair is just a simple matter, and as soon as the shock falls off, the roots of the scalp begin to grow again.
Fortunately, the supernatural power can be controlled, and Lu Bao shook off the new hair again, and forcibly stopped the "regeneration", so as to maintain the image of the bald head.
If you don't have long hair, it's better to simply have a bald head.
Biyan chuckled and said, "Master, although I haven't seen a monk, I should be like it!"
Langlang hadn't even heard of "monk", so he turned his head and asked five steps.
Yuan Xiang pointed to Lu Bao's bare feet and said, "Old... Sir, humans wear shoes and socks!"
The little demon feet have not been transformed, but the vast majority of demons are barefoot!
"For a while, tell me where to find shoes and socks!" Lu Bao shook his head and said to the little demons: "You wait and hide away, I'll ask him to go!"
Rubbing his bare feet on the mud ground again, forcing some sweat on his body, Lu Bao pulled up the hem of his gray robe, revealing his two bare legs, and ran to the nearest distance in the forest before he appeared: "God see pity, I finally see a living person again!
Seeing a bald-headed and barefoot-looking strange-looking "man" coming out with a robe, the old man was slightly startled, but the three cows all shook their heads wildly and were busy running backwards.
The bald and barefoot monster had light feet, and in a few breaths, he had run to the frantic cow and brought back the three cows that had become obedient again in the blink of an eye.
The old man was old, and it was rare to chase the cow, and when he saw him bring the cow back, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his palms together and said, "Master, where did you come from?" Why don't you wear monk's clothes and wear Taoist robes?"
Lu Bao replied with a wry smile: "The day before yesterday, I saw people burning mountains and reclamation, and I didn't close up and talk more, those people were evil, knocked over the little monks, stripped off the monks' clothes, shoes and socks, and finally got to a village, begged for a robe to cover up the ugliness, and then went south!
The old man raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "On our side of the water and soil, the Buddha is still on the top of the Tao, which ignorant villagers dare to treat the master like this?"
No wonder there are many temples in the village here, thinking that the territory occupied by the Buddhist sect, Lu Bao hurriedly said: "They are all fools, don't mention it again!"
"The master has a good temperament," the old man stretched his eyebrows, took a closer look at Lu Bao's appearance, and said, "I think it's because I saw the master's ...... It's strange, those ignorant fools have come to offend, and we will not judge people by their appearance, so we will invite the master to my house, and there will be good food and wine to entertain them!"
Lu Bao laughed: "Don't worry, the old man came out to herd the cattle, it's not good to let the cattle come back on an empty stomach, wait until they are full, why is this village called Broken Road Village?"
"The master doesn't know, when you go to our village, there is already the Gobi Desert to the south, and a hundred miles behind the Gobi is a vast yellow sand desert that I don't know, human beings are extinct, and there is no road anymore, so it's called this name!"
Lu Bao tilted his head to think about it, and then asked: "Before going out, the little monk heard from the master that there is a big puddle in this realm, the north is our human realm, and there is a heron demon king in the south, how can I not see that puddle?"
When I was six or seven years old, I often heard my grandfather say that our village was originally called Broken Heron Village, and it was named after the head of the Heron Demon King who was cut off by a monk who had attained Taoism, and it was gradually changed to its current name!"
"Big puddle," the old man pointed to the sea of rice in front of him: "No, it has already been changed to hundreds of miles of fertile land! Relying on the great merits of that high monk, countless people can be lived!"
PS: It's late December, and the results of this book have been bad, and it has a lot to do with the number of tiger updates, but it's really busy with all kinds of public and private things, not a full-time writer, and I don't think I'm lazy. The second volume just kicked off, the tiger wants to do its best, to tell you a good story of a group of monsters, but also hope that interested book friends will strongly support, regardless of the past, now or in the future, the tiger never asks for a reward, nor dare to ask, just to support the genuine subscription, even if you really don't want to pay to watch the book, the mobile version of the download of a QQ reading APP, click on the collection, recommended votes, book review interaction, is also a kind of support for the tiger.
The future is full of thorns, and the tiger should chop thorns and move forward bravely.
