Chapter 7: The Hidden Dragon

A few wild cats came running out of nowhere in the mountains, and they kept barking.

Before the beginning of spring, the cry is full of spring, and it is particularly harsh in the middle of the night, which makes people feel upset.

Yao Xing'er has been lying under the bed for a full hour, but her heart is burning and uneasy, and the time seems to be extraordinarily long.

From the beginning to the end, there was not a single movement, except for the wild cats, which crowed from time to time.

Yao Xing'er couldn't stay any longer, so she carefully pushed the boat board to a corner and looked around the room.

Everything works fine.

After observing for a while, it was still the same, and Yao Xing'er tiptoed out from under the bed.

She didn't dare to light the lamp, so she took advantage of the moonlight to look around in the dark.

At the foot of the bed was the exquisite money bag, two gold ingots were still lying in the money bag, and there was also a clear jade pendant.

It didn't seem like he forgot to take it away in a hurry, but it seemed that Lu Mingfei deliberately left it for Yao Xing'er.

Thinking of this, Yao Xing'er couldn't help but feel cold, and wanted to go out to find Lu Mingfei and Qu Xiaotian, but she didn't know where to go.

Pacing back and forth in the house alone, thinking for a long time and not coming up with a suitable method, when I was at a loss, I heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the house, from far and near, and the quiet night was exceptionally clear.

After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and then there was a soft knock on the door.

"Is anyone there?"

A question, the voice is clean and the tone is flat.

Yao Xing'er stayed in the room and didn't dare to answer, let alone make any sound, but kept coming out with an irrepressible heartbeat.

After the inquiry, I heard a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and a thin figure walked into the room.

Yao Xing'er's face was already pale with fright, and she forcibly endured the tension and fear in her heart, suddenly rushed out from behind the door, raised the rolling pin in her hand and hit the back of the man's head.

"Ugh!"

The man was hit with a stick firmly, hurriedly turned his head, and saw that Yao Xing'er had no intention of stopping, so he hurriedly stretched out his hands to stop in front of him and said, "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person, I have no malice." ”

Yao Xing'er was suspicious, although she stopped moving, but the rolling pin was still held in the air, and as long as the other party did something wrong, she would continue to hit him.

A ray of moonlight shone on the man's face through the two missing tiles on the roof, and Yao Xing'er could vaguely see that the person was actually a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, holding a gossip plate in his hand.

It was the little Taoist priest that Lu Mingfei had met on the street corner tonight.

"Aren't you the gentleman who set up a hexagram stall near the Yueyue Tower?"

Yao Xing'er also recognized the other party, going in and out of the Yueyue Building, she had met a few times, and she still had some impressions.

"It's the poor Dao Jia Yuan, it turns out that the girl knows me. ”

A kind smile appeared on the little Taoist's face, and he didn't take the previous dull stick to heart.

Yao Xing'er asked suspiciously, "It's night, what are you doing here?"

The little Taoist priest Jia Yuanshu casually looked in the room, and then asked, "This is the residence of a young man surnamed Lu?"

Seeing him mention Lu Mingfei, Yao Xing'er couldn't help but feel nervous again, and she didn't dare to answer anything for a while.

The little Taoist priest didn't care, he seemed to have an answer in his heart, and then glanced at Yao Xing'er and asked, "I don't know if the girl can trust her life?"

Yao Xing'er was at a loss.

The little Taoist priest didn't wait for her to answer, pinched his fingers and said to himself: "The poor Dao entered Feng'an City to wait for the birth of a nobleman, this young man surnamed Lu is not simple, he should be the noble person I said." ”

Who doesn't like to listen to good words, Yao Xing'er is naturally unavoidable, and she can't help but feel happy, and her big eyes look at the little Taoist.

The little Taoist priest flew with his five fingers, his mouth fluttered, and then he walked outside the house and looked up at the sky and continued: "Tianshu broke the army, Tianxuan Wuqu has moved west, if there is no mistake, that young man should have obtained ill-gotten gains and went to the west to avoid trouble." ”

Yao Xing'er was even more surprised, no one else knew what the three of them had experienced before, but she didn't expect this Taoist priest to say a word, and hurriedly asked: "Does Mr. know how to tell fortunes? How is my brother now? There won't be any danger, right?"

The little Taoist priest smiled faintly and said, "Haven't you heard of the blessing of misfortune? He was originally a man of destiny, and these encounters have already been determined in the number of fate, and there is no big problem." It's just that these disasters are probably caused by the girl, right? At least it has a lot to do with the girl. ”

"Huh?!"

Yao Xing'er was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. said it has something to do with me?"

The little Taoist priest casually took out a bamboo skewer from the cloth pocket he was carrying and put it in front of Yao Xing'er and said, "The girl might as well draw a skewer and take a look." ”

These bamboo sticks are made of small bamboo tubes, which are different from the bamboo sticks used in street stalls before, and there is no distinction between upper and lower lots.

Yao Xing'er reverently pulled out one and carefully handed it over to the little Taoist.

The little Taoist priest flicked it lightly, and a careful note popped out of the bamboo tube.

"The dragon swims in shallow water, and there is no spring goose returning to the north in all seasons. ”

The little Taoist priest silently recited the two sentences on the note, muttered for a while, and then said to Yao Xing'er: "The girl can be trusted to be poor?"

Yao Xing'er nodded solemnly and said, "Believe it!"

The little Taoist priest continued, "If the girl wants to be good for him, she should leave this place. ”

A complicated look flashed on Yao Xing'er's face, this alley in the mountains was originally the place where she was born, and she had been dependent on Lu Mingfei and Qu Xiaotian for twenty years, and she had never left the house, and when she heard that she was going to leave this place, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

After thinking for a while, Yao Xing'er continued to ask, "Where should I go?"

"To the North!"

What the little Taoist priest said was categorical.

Yao Xing'er didn't know how true or false the Taoist priest was, but tonight's incident could indeed be regarded as because of her.

Pursing his lips tightly, he glanced at the package that had been packed before by the bed, then looked at the little Taoist priest and asked, "Then I am gone, can I still see my brother in the future?"

The little Taoist priest looked calm, smiled faintly and said: "That young man is not a thing in the pool, and when he comes out of the dragon to dive and the fish jumps over the dragon gate, you will see you again." ”

"When should I leave?"

"Let's go now!"

On the top of the mountain, Cang Wei and Lu Mingfei looked at me, and I looked at you, both full of doubts.

After a while, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask curiously, "The old gentleman is also an immortal?"

Cang Wei's old face turned red and said: "The immortals don't dare to be, they just have cultivated for decades and learned some subtle Taoism, Xiaoyou don't have to be polite, just call me senior brother in the future." ”

Lu Mingfei couldn't help scratching his head, the old man on the other side looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, it was not difficult to call grandpa, and it was really a little difficult to call his senior brother for a while.

"Division...... Senior brother, does that master of mine really have the ability to bring the dead back to life?"

Lu Mingfei was still not worried about Qu Xiaotian's safety, so he asked again.

Cang Wei didn't know what the relationship between this young man and Hua Jiunian was, so he smiled and said: "That's nature, Hua Daxian means to reach the sky, even if it is not difficult to come back to life." ”

Lu Mingfei finally put his mind at ease, looked at the cliff at the bottom of his feet, and said to Cangwei: "Please send me down the mountain with the idea of Senior Brother, I have to go home." ”

Since Qu Xiaotian has a master to save him, Lu Mingfei will be more worried about Yao Xing'er at home.

Yao Xing'er has always been afraid of the dark, he just wants to go back quickly, and his heart is like an arrow.

"Go home?"

Cang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a shocked face, "Do you want to go home, don't you want to go back to Yanling Mountain with me?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head and said: "I'm used to being a person, I'm afraid I'm not used to leaving home, what kind of mountain are you, I still won't go." ”
