Chapter 17: The Fifth Soul Body
The sun was in the west, and the old man He instructed Le Tu to find four branches and place them in the position of the horse at intervals of four feet.
Breaking off the branches, Le Tu took out the dagger and sharpened it, inserted it in the four directions of the horse, put away the dagger and said, "He Lao, according to what you said, it's all done!"
"Okay, let's get in the car, clean up, enter the mysterious forest, and try not to stop halfway. Old man He put out the chessboard and asked Hu Xi if he needed to relieve his boredom.
Hu Xi said gently: "Hey, look at me to suppress your momentum." β
Drivingββ
The carriage entered the mysterious forest, the four branches remained in place, this place is full of dangers, just more than ten meters, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the pungent cold, inhaled into the lungs, coughing non-stop. The clouds covered the forest, and the view was blurred, and the carriage followed the path.
The birdsong is crisp, the fierce beast makes a vigilant sound, and the saddle horse is frightened and runs timidly. The trees are thick, the grass is abundant, and the horse-drawn carriage is parked under the trees, and beside them are huge trees with green leaves all year round.
"Helao! Ma ...... I refused to leave. The groom was slurred and terrified.
"It seems that one of the branches has been broken. Old man He had a calm demeanor and seemed to know everything about this.
Gu Qianxu was full of fox questions: "Grandpa He, those four branches are broken, and the horse is not leaving, there are only three chances left?"
Old man He sneered and said, "That's right, your little head is much better than someone, and you can't make a move for a long time. β
"Sarcastically teasing again, I'm called thoughtful!" Hu Xi said earnestly in denial.
"Arbor leaves, feed the horses and take three pieces. Old man He pointed to the tree outside the car window.
I was skeptical and had mixed beliefs, and I thought about it repeatedly, but I still couldn't understand it.
"Feed whatever you have in this place. Old man He explained humorously.
"Okay! Helao is really a master!" the groom tried to feed, and it was really feasible.
Old man He made fun of himself, "It's superior, it's not a master." β
Drivingββ
It didn't stop for a moment, it kept moving forward, non-stop.
The breeze blows, the leaves fly, the clouds dissipate, and the carriage breaks down and falls into the loess quagmire.
"He Lao, the fog was so thick just now that I didn't see it clearly, and I fell in!" The groom got out of the carriage and saw that the wooden wheel was deep and couldn't get out.
"I'm coming!" said the window, jumping out of the carriage, standing firmly, and pushing the carriage with all his might.
"Ahh
"Hey, Letu, you go and see. β
Tossing for a long time and being indifferent, Le Tu got out of the car to help, and used all his strength, but it didn't affect at all.
"Hu Lao! no!" Yan Zhang then spat out a fragrant mouth, scolding that this ghost place is not for people.
Old man He was not anxious, and said with a smile: "Qianzi, what do you say." β
"Grandpa He said before that if there is anything here, feed it. Gu Qianxu replied with a smile.
"As soon as the front foot said, you forgot, but fortunately Chiko remembered. Old man He laughed heartily.
"Feed the bark?" Le Tu looked around, only to see a nearby tree that was out of reach.
"No, take a sip of cold water, swallow half of it, spit the rest in the mud, and then push the carriage. "Old man He talks and laughs.
"It's weird. Yan opened his mouth and muttered, so he could only do so, take a sip of tea in the car, swallow half of it, leave half of it, spit it out again, spray the mud, and blend into it.
Le Tu followed along, pushing the carriage again, and a surprising scene occurred.
"It's moving!" Yan Zhang shouted in disbelief and surprise.
It's magical, with an easy push, it saves a lot of effort than just now, and the carriage is out of the quagmire.
The others stared blankly, with complicated expressions and disbelief.
Driving-driving-driving-
"He Lao, are you the reincarnation of a fairy!" Yan Zhang was convinced from the bottom of his heart, making tea and pouring water.
"All of them are ordinary people. Taking a sip of tea, Old Man He's face was leisurely.
Gu Qian Xu Mianyan asked softly: "Grandpa He, is it ...... Sorcery?"
"Qianzi, do you believe in metaphysics?!"
"Don't believe it...... But sometimes I believe ......"
Old man He said earnestly: "Seeing is not necessarily true, hearing is not necessarily false, Daogu is a metaphysics, but also a technique, some things, only to understand, Grandpa He is old, before he dies, he will pave the way for you." β
The carriage of the "............" was silent.
"Qianzi, a dream within a dream, the will of heaven, Grandpa He's life is not long, this catastrophe is connected with those here......"
"Hey, you're talking nonsense again, you can't believe it. Hu Xi pretended to smile and interrupted Old Man He's words.
"Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, and the black dragon is not a mortal thing. Old man He looked at Qianzi and asked him to guard the fox in his arms.
Puzzled asked, "Old He, forgive the ignorance of the younger generation, your old behavior is ......"
"No, nothing, on a whim, let's talk. β
I don't understand what's going on with Old Man He, it's like a different person, I learned from Old Man He that he is not an ordinary person, a soul body that is not reincarnated, and his true body has already turned into ashes. On a summer night, I went out of the village alone and came to the mysterious forbidden place in the back mountain, but for some reason, the cave suddenly collapsed.
The body is separated from the soul, the rubble is pressed against the body, and the soul body floats in the air. Suddenly, a red light came out of the cave, a soul the size of an elephant, which could not see anything but a cloud of gas, and the blazing flames enveloped it, setting off a gust of wind.
"You are the first and the last. β
The soul body actually spoke, a moment of silence, restored to the precedent of the crime, Hongyu's soul body was safe and sound, returned to the physical body, originally thought it was a dream, but found that he could spell and realize the will of heaven, just like the legendary immortals.
Hongyu ordered that it was forbidden to enter the back mountain, and it was listed as a forbidden place known to everyone, and no one dared to go there.
Hongyu's physical life saw the end, and he entered the forbidden land alone, and the soul body inside once said that his soul body could never be erased, survive the village for generations, and retain the memory of his previous life, but he had to do things for it, and wait for someone who was destined to complete the mission.
The proposed remuneration is attractive, protect the stability of the village for five hundred years, and then let him rank in the immortal class, immortal, Hongyu readily agreed, play a different person in each life, reincarnate in the fifth life, and live in the flesh of the old man in this life, and finally waited for the destined person.
The soul body of the forbidden land guided him and accompanied Gu Qianxu all the way. Hu Xi asked in surprise what the soul body was.
Old man He said calmly, "The god Gu is a strange god, the triple spear god river hoof, the ruler of the heavenly spring, and the wolf." β
As soon as the words fell, except for Old Man He and Gu Qianxu, the rest of them fell to the ground in a coma, and the silver black fox was not spared.
"You...... Who the hell is it!" Gu Qianxu distanced himself.
"It's not true or false, I'll leave the Xuanwei Forest immediately, and all their memories will be wiped out, including me, by the orders of the heavens, Qianzi, the rest of the road will be written by you. Old man He smiled, and suddenly, lying on the chessboard table, fainted.
"Grandpa He, Dad, you ......" Gu Qianxu cried, tugging at Old Man He's clothes, and sat on the ground in frustration.
"Mother...... Scarecrow, little strawberry ......"
Gu Qianxu was lying in a coma on Le Tu's legs.
Shenshi, Bianshan, three kilometers away from Pingjing.
Out of the Xuanwei Forest, driving beside the mountain, the carriage stopped on the bank of the stream, and the horses chewed the tender grass.
"We...... Where ......" Yan Zhang was dizzy and got out of the carriage in a daze.
"Chiko, wake up. Le Tu opened his eyes and saw Chiko lying on his lap, shaking slightly.
"............" Gu Qianxu woke up and saw that everyone was there, and the silver black fox pounced on him with ecstasy.
"Don't be coquettish, it's all right. Le Tu touched Gu Qianxu's head, and said with a smile that he had grown up and gained weight.
"Le Tu, what's wrong with us......" Hu Xi's head was dizzy, and he wanted to vomit inexplicably.
The groom gradually woke up, and suddenly woke up, leaving the old man He, who couldn't wake up.
Gu Qianxu asked hesitantly: "...... you Remember...... What just happened?!"
"I don't know, I slept and was very depressed. "I yawned and yawned.
"Come on! We're lost. β
Hearing the shouts of Yan Zhang, they all got off the carriage to find out, and their eyes lit up, and the scenery was beautiful.
The mountain high stream water flows eastward, the bottom is crystal clear, you can see the fish and shrimp playing, the fragrance of flowers is rich, the green grass is luxuriant, as far as the eye can see, the willow trees on the shore are companions, and the peach blossoms on the flat ground prevail.
β............β
Huxi marvels at the natural wonders, this place is a farewell, three generations are difficult to find, traveling to the north and south of the river, there has never been a place, can be so shocking.
"Nature's magic. β
I looked at the boulder in front of me and was amazed.
The silver and black fox ran in the meadow, drank the stream water to catch small fish, and rolled on its belly to have fun.
"Where is this? Old man He woke up, saw that there was no one in the car, there was a noise outside, and slowly got out of the carriage.
"Hey, look, the old guy is awake. β
"Could it be...... I'm asleep!?"
"You're old and confused, a carload of people fell asleep, and when you woke up, you were brought here. β
Hu Xi explained them one by one, Old Man He patted his head, he couldn't think of it, he laughed at himself for being old and useless.
"Qianzi, is there a stain on Grandpa He's face? Old man He pointed to his face and wiped it twice.
Gu Qianxu's memory was still there, and his suspicion was not gone, he looked at Old Man He with suspicious eyes, for fear of causing misunderstanding, his face was full of smiles, "No, seeing that there is movement behind Grandpa He, I should be dazzled." β
"Shock! Old man He turned to check, and a vine was hanging from the trunk of the tree.
Everyone burst into laughter, and Gu Qianxu followed with a sneer, his face was gray and dirty, and his expression was in a trance.
Suddenly take out the drawings from the car, according to a series of comparisons, out of the mysterious forest, there is a high mountain in front, called Bianshan, perennial mountains and rivers are beautiful, birds and flowers, the four seasons are like spring.
"Then how can I get out...... Hushu asked.
"Master, here, the drawings do not indicate the way out. He shook his head abruptly and said he couldn't help it.
"Let's find a junction. The groom made a point.
"Along the stream, you can find a way out. Hu Xi looked at the stream.
"I cut down the trees and found the way. "The method of saying is not feasible, the trees are overgrown, the grass is abundant, and it is a pity to cut it down.
There was confusion here, and at this moment, the horse suddenly neighed.
The groom touched its mane, its tail hairy, its limbs strong, and the horse crouched down to look into the distance.
"It wants us to get in the car......"
The family horse, which has been raised for ten years, understands the general idea of the horse, and the groom is not very sure, there is no better way in front of him, so everyone has to get into the carriage.
The horse stepped on the grass, the hub of the wheel folded the flowers, the stream murmured, the peach blossoms quietly withered and fell, and the horse took the lead in galloping forward, and the old horse knew the way to withdraw.
