Chapter 9: Zhang Ruyi

When the stone came in to look, he saw that there was a wooden bed, a three-legged table, and two wooden stools, and nothing else, and it was full of dust, and not even rats frequented it.

"Wait for the cover and let the deacon send it, fasting in the dining hall passing by in front of me at night, I have already said hello, listen to the bell ringing, you can go to eat, you rest first, wait for the Lord to come back, I will inform you, you don't run around at night, Lingyun Guan Guan rules are very strict, if you make a mistake, no one can save you at that time." After Song Weizhuang finished speaking, he walked out.

"Yes. The stone said yes to his back.

After eating and fasting, the stone returned to his residence, closed the door, closed his clothes and fell asleep, somehow he turned over and over, it was difficult to close his eyes, he was still thinking about the pair of red shoes, that pair of bright eyes, that blushing face, he felt a warmth in his heart, from childhood to adulthood, he had seen countless old and young faces, except for the master, there was never such a face that could make him feel warm, the smile was like a spring breeze blowing into the heart of the stone, turning into a light drizzle to moisten the heart, "Little beggar!" Suddenly, a sneer expelled the warmth, his body seemed to lie on ice, his body was cold and cold, he clenched his fists, and his breathing became short.

Why are they laughing at me?

What am I doing wrong?

Is it because I have no father or mother, and only the master depends on each other? Or is it because the Maoshan faction is weak and can only look at people's faces everywhere, or is it because I have an ugly face and shabby clothes? Or is it because I shouldn't have peeked at the girl in red?

Why are they laughing at me?

I grew up in a thatched hut with the Master, chanting sutras and meditating, walking the streets and alleys to do things and turn relationships, I am a small follower, people point fingers at me, shout and laugh, I have long been used to it, I have never been so sad, angry, confused as I am today, why do I suddenly feel disgusted, disgusted that they laugh at me, disgusted that they call me a little beggar, why is this?

Why are they laughing at me, I, shouldn't I be here?

The night is getting thicker, the stone still has no sleep, the heart is warm, a cold, through the hole in the window paper, I see the starry sky outside, the sky is clear, a hook of crescent moon hanging at the end of the west sky, suddenly, he misses the master very much, the high-rise palace in front of him, in his eyes is not as good as the three broken tile houses, Master, the apprentice is ashamed of you.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, a few whispers, as if encouraging each other,

"There you go. ”

"There you go. ”

In the end, the unlucky man who couldn't resist the other party came to the door, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Brother Shi, are you asleep?"

It was a little girl's voice, and it sounded a little warm in the night.

"Who are you?" replied, sitting up with a single bone.

"Can you open the door? The voice was gentle, like a warm breeze melting in the night.

There was a burst of warmth in Shishi's heart, and he hurriedly got out of bed and opened the wooden door, and sure enough, under the stars and moon, the girl with red shoes and white clothes and a blushing face stood at the door, followed by the group of people during the day, except for Liu Dianzong.

"Hello Stone, during the day we laughed at you for being wrong, and we came to apologize. The girl said with her head down, blushing again.

"No, it's okay, no. The sudden apology made the stone stunned, looking at the girl at a loss.

A boy was behind the girl and stabbed her with his hand, she understood, and said, "In order to apologize, we want to take you to see the place where we practice, are you willing to go?"

Stealing is a taboo, where does the stone know a lot, even if he understands it, he can't take care of it at the moment, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The people were overjoyed, and led the stone to a wooded area.

In the forest, Liu Dianzong stepped with both feet, stepping on the Beidou, pinching the trick with his left hand, chanting a mantra in his mouth, and nailing a yellow talisman to the thickest banyan tree in the middle of the forest with his right hand.

Everywhere, a yellow light suddenly burst out from the trunk of the tree, and a dwarf flashed out of the light, with a green face, a long blue beard, wearing a soap-colored woven gold flower round-necked robe, and gave a salute to Liu Dianzong, "I don't know what happened when the little master summoned Xiaoling out?"

This dwarf is a tree spirit, cultivated for a hundred years, originally an earth spirit, sucking the marrow of the earth underground, refining gas and transforming shape, and now can suck the "emperor slurry" in the moonlight, becoming the spirit of the moon, the emperor slurry is the moonlight, which can help people and ghosts to cultivate into inner dan.

At a young age, Liu Dianzong had already broken through the eighth layer of the monk, and he could summon spiritual objects with talismans for his own drive, and it seemed that he was indeed a genius of the Dao Gate.

"Big Banyan Immortal Gong, call you out, please help do one thing, I have a junior brother, born timid, no success in cultivation, I hope Xian Gong can help him." ”

"Oh, how can I help him?"

"You just need to change into a ghost and scare him, so that he won't be scared and timid in the future, won't you help him?"

Rong Shuling knew that this little ghost would not do good things, but due to the power of the Zhengyi Sect, he had no choice but to agree, Liu Dianzong flashed behind the tree, pointed to the person who came and said: "It's the one who walks behind, wearing a broken robe, his name is Stone!"

The stone was following the crowd forward until he came to the edge of the forest, and by the moonlight he saw a forest growing between the two buildings, and among them was a large tree with thick branches, and the high canopy of the tree covered the moonlight and cast its shadow on the ground.

The crowd stopped, and the girl in the red shoes stepped forward and said to the stone: "Stone, the person who is practicing the exercises is in the forest in front, you go and see, we are waiting for you outside the forest." ”

The stone said "oh" and walked towards the forest suspiciously, he was a little scared, but in front of the girl in the red shoes, he somehow did not want to show his fear, and walked forward.

"Zhang Ruyi, what Liu Dianzong said is right, he really listened to you. A voice whispered.

Shi actually heard this, he didn't think much about it, but he knew the girl's name, Zhang Ruyi, a name destined to be entangled with him for half his life.

The banyan tree spirit was already ready, Liu Dianzong was also ready to hide behind the tree, and the others were also ready at the edge of the forest, the red-shoeed girl suddenly regretted a little and wanted to shout to stop the stone, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, she didn't want to disappoint Liu Dianzong.

The stone finally walked in, the moonlight was faint, the shadow was abundant, he saw a figure, in front of the big tree, thinking that it was the "person who practiced the exercises" in Ruyi's mouth, so he walked over, and his right hand habitually stretched into his chest.

Banyan Shuling was the most honest in his heart, saying that he wanted to help people, then he had to help to the end, he saw the stone coming over, and shouted: "Stone, you see who I am!"

As soon as the stone was stunned, the short figure of the banyan tree spirit suddenly rose a foot taller, and five heads grew, all with fluffy hair, wide mouths and long teeth, extremely vicious, stretched out a long blood-red tongue, shook spit, and flew towards the stone.

The more frightened they were, the more they looked forward to seeing the scene of the little beggar fleeing in fright, the funny appearance would definitely make them laugh, and even in retrospect a few years later, they could raise the corners of their mouths and savor it.

"Ah!" the stone let out an exclamation, and closed his eyes in fright, but he didn't run, stood firmly in place, his right hand subconsciously grasped the obsidian, and blocked forward, and the Rahu Star Stone moved to protect the Lord, only to hear a thunderous roar of "boom", deafening, like a huge wave emptying, like Mount Tai pressing the top, from the starry sky on the top of the tree straight down a thunderbolt, accompanied by lightning, golden light, scorching eyes.

Everyone stayed where they were, and this was not what they wanted! The scene they had expected of the stone fleeing and even wailing and even crying did not happen, on the contrary, several of them were so frightened that they could not stop crying.

Only the stone lowered his head and did not dare to open his eyes, and the obsidian was still clutched tightly in his hand.

After the golden light, the banyan tree spirit was gone, only to hear a "click", the huge crown of the tree broke off and fell aside, splashing a burst of dust, Liu Dianzong was so frightened that he ran away with a "wow", and the rest of the people also ran away like crazy with Liu Dianzong, including Zhang Ruyi, the girl with red shoes.

The crown of the tree fell, the starry sky flashed, and I saw a small back among the broken branches and fallen leaves, standing alone, the obsidian in his hand was slightly scorching, and his heart was cold to the freezing point.
