Chapter 18: The Battle of the Open Fire
The old man seemed to have finally found an outlet, and there was no longer anything to hide like the flood bursting, so he told the past one by one.
"Six years ago, the autumn harvest, our side of the heavy rain for a month, Qutian Zhuangjia all suffered a lot, seeing that the particles were not harvested and not hungry, the people in the Baiyang Sect pinched this moment, and suddenly came out of the mountain, shouting under the guise of playing incense and sacrificing to the sky, and asked the young Zhuang and women of Fengming Village, which is closest to it, to go into the mountain to burn incense, saying that it is to comfort and calm the anger of the heavenly public. At that time, the big guys of our township party were not without doubts, because our seven villages have always been safe and sound, and we have never done anything to hurt God and make God angry, but in the end, it can't cover the authoritative face of these so-called immortals, and the young people of Fengming Village became the first batch of villagers to leave, all carrying their own bamboo bags and bringing incense, and followed them into the mountain..."
As he spoke, the old man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth,
"But half a month has passed, and none of the people who went to burn incense have come back... Just as the old people of Fengming Village brought the Yazi dolls to ask for help from our Fengqi Village, Wang Ergou, a famous thief in their village, fled back. After Wang Ergou came back, he seemed to be crazy, and when he saw people, he roared, 'Baiyang Sect has eaten people!' At that time, the villagers didn't know what was going on, thinking that he was infected with a mental disease, thinking about it, he invited Zhou Langzhong of Fengfei Village to show him, Zhou Langzhong took the pulse and grabbed a bag of tranquilizer for him, Wang Ergou took it and slept peacefully for a day and a night, but after waking up, he lost his soul again, he grabbed Zhou Langzhong, who came to visit appropriately, and then told him with a frightened face, saying that all the young villagers who went to burn incense and pray for blessings were thrown into the big boiler to cook the bones and bones, and said that it was to be refined into some elixir. ”
Zhou Langzhong was stunned by Wang Ergou's words in an instant, and hurriedly found the village chief of Fengming Village, and it didn't take long for the news to spread, and this terrible thing exploded in various villages. I remember that at that time, countless villagers were panicked and wanted to flee outside, but no one expected that the White Yang Sect of Dog Day had already sent people to guard the road, so that no one could escape."
"Later. . . Because Qiao'er was less than a year old at the time, the demons didn't take her away. During that time, there were still many families in various villages who left children who were not arrested, and until the dolls began to reach the age of nine, they were also caught and stewed. Qiao'er is the youngest of these dolls, and I watched my precious granddaughter grow up to almost nine years old, but my old man's heart was getting more and more painful every day. So just now.. Alas, I hope you don't blame me, I'm really scared, scared, old man."
After listening to the old man's sorrowful words, Xiao Nianxi immediately exploded, unexpectedly, the reason why Qiao'er and the old man suffered from hunger and cold was because of it, and moreover, this so-called Baiyang Sect dared to be so mad and ruin the reputation of the sect with open fire. Who gave it the courage to use living people to make alchemy!? In seven villages, how many Bloomberg people are in the prime of life? And how many innocent and weeping children like Qiao'er!
"Sister Dou, Qiao'er don't be caught and cooked, Qiao'er doesn't!"
Qiao'er trembled and grabbed Xiao Hongdou's wrist, just because in her eyes, the sister Hongdou in front of her was a fairy, a life-saving jade pillar in her confusion.
Xiao Hongdou comforted her, and her heart ached, only to realize that she was so skinny.
"Qiao'er is good, with my brother here, no one dares to take Qiao'er away. ”
She soothed, stroking her withered hair.
"Goo!" and "Wang!" two indignant cries rang out together.
The old man was mixed with despair and hope, and said in a daze: "Two little fairy elders, I and Qiao'er accepted your kindness, but I can't repay the old man, and I'm afraid that it will affect you." ”
Xiao Hongdou's tone gradually trembled, which was a sign of anger,
"Old man, don't be afraid, the White Yang Sect will hurt you and hurt you, my brother will not sit idly by, he will definitely turn it upside down!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he threw himself from his chair and knelt on the ground.
"As long as you can save Qiao'er, you will save the last of our Fengzi Seven Villages!
Suddenly, a tremendous force pulled the old man back into his chair.
"The old man doesn't have to make this big gift. ”
Xiao Nianxi's face was expressionless at this time, and he asked in a calm tone:
"Where is the White Yang Sect. ”
The old man swallowed his saliva, hesitating hesitantly,
"Out of the northwest of the village, past the green mountains, that is, Baiyang Sect. ”
Xiao Nianxi nodded, and was about to turn around.
"Brother Nianxi!" Suddenly, Qiao'er stopped him.
She ran to Xiao Nianxi and picked up an old red cloth sachet from her neck.
"This one is for you. The corners of Qiao'er's eyes were moist, and she handed out her precious treasure.
Xiao Nianxi saw her little face flushed, knowing that she was worried about his resignation or refusal. He carefully and solemnly took the sachet and meticulously tied it around his neck.
"Qiao'er's heart, I took it. ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Nianxi immediately said goodbye, he didn't say much, and in an instant, he was in a strong wind and roared out of the door.
Qiao'er couldn't catch up at all, she touched her still hot little face, and habitually grabbed the position of the empty sachet here, and said: "Brother Nianxi is also a fairy." ”
...
In the clouds and fog, in the mountain pavilion.
Rain falls along the lanterns.
"By the way, Brother Lu, my stupid memory always forgets to ask one thing." I heard that during my retreat, the sect opened a Xuanjing and asked, almost all the juniors flocked to it, I wanted to ask a few days ago, no, fortunately now I think about it, if Brother Lu is not too troublesome, can you talk about it with me? ”
Bai Qi'er, "How can these juniors have any Dao heart, nine times out of ten, they are just indiscriminately filling up the numbers to make a scene, first, they are seeking to see what this Xuanjing looks like, and second, they are proud and complacent to see if the Dao realm level in their hearts also belongs to the existence of Liao Ruochenxing." It's good to be a few days, the sect is full of quarrels and noise, and no one among the juniors can tell whose Dao heart is the most upright, purest and most extreme, so they are tired of disturbing us idle old guys, let us give answers and comments, and hold justice, alas... This mirror is really not too troublesome, it gives each junior a very different question, perhaps, it sees through the inner self of each tester. But this is not light for our old bones, you have a good time, the stone door is closed, the eyes are closed, and the decision is leisurely and leisurely without asking about foreign affairs. ”
"It seems that I was lucky enough to have escaped this catastrophe, hahaha." However, this Xuanjing asked, is it possible that there is no junior Dao Heart that can enter Brother Lu's eyes?"
White Chess Yoyo Er fell, "Hmm.. When you ask like this, there are a few juniors who are anxious and barely make do. ”
"Which juniors are they?"
"Xiaoling, Ye Qi and Luo Fu. ”
"These three juniors are really qualified. ”
Black moved slowly, "What did Xuanjing ask them?"
Bai Qi temporarily stopped, "Ask Xiaoling Heavenly Dao, ask Ye Qi Dao, and ask Luo Fu Dao." ”
Black waits quietly for white to play,
"Are there three realms of heaven, earth, and man? The way of heaven is impermanence, impermanence, oneness, and multiplicity - the four contentions, the earth path has the four theories of returning to the root, immortality, reincarnation, and reincarnation, and humanity is divided into four points of goodness, malignancy, spiritual wisdom, and ignorance, how did the three of them answer?"
The white chess fell, "Xiao Ling replied that those who are talented should have no winter and no summer, and strive for self-improvement, and only by practicing can people win the sky and become immortals - it is said that the way of heaven is constant." Ye Qi replied that those who are spiritual and wise, should cultivate both outside and inside, and wait for the body to become holy and the soul to escape to immortals, and can be built into not bad - it is called an authentic immortality. Luo replied that those who do not know their nature, even if they sail smoothly and always go smoothly, they will have a bright future, and the world does not know their nature, which is called humane ignorance. ”
Black Qi paused the chess pieces, "These three people, at a young age, can be able to comprehend one of the four realms, from this point of view, the heavenly prince is worthy of my 'state east'."
White motioned to the black chess, "Brother Xiao, but you still want to ask Xiao Nianxi and Xiao Hongdou?"
Black pressed into the intersection line, "Hehe, Brother Lu is right." ”
The white chess piece twisted for a while before it settled in a hurry," At that time, only their brother and sister did not make a noise after asking through the Xuanjing, and I couldn't help but ask them, but they were silent about my master at the beginning, but then again, they are also one of the pillars of our sect in the future, and even one of the important pillars of Shenzhou, therefore, I was worried that they might have a demonic obstacle in their hearts, so I pulled the sect master over to talk about it, and after he thought about it twice, we restarted the Xuanjing and restored the illusion of the realm at that time, and then we were surprised and puzzled. ”
The black chess trembled and unsteadily, "Could it be that they didn't get the approval of the Xuanjing?
White fell briskly this time, "If you think so, then I, the master, am afraid that I am more heartbroken than you are the grandfather." What taught me and the sect master to be puzzled was that they really couldn't understand what Xuanjing was asking them, so this matter naturally became a secret. Not to mention whether the reason is good or bad, we can take them for a while, but we can't take them for a lifetime, the path of young people, if it is unusual, it is just unusual, let them go by themselves in the future. ”
Black slowly, "That.. What did Xuanjing ask them?"
Bai Qi Shanshan slowly, "Xuanjing asked Xiao Nianxi, how can you get along with the three righteous paths of heaven, earth, and man?" Hehe, Brother Xiao, if it were you, how would you get back?"
Black Chess hesitated, "The way of the world still has the opposition between good and evil, right and wrong, those who are good and benevolent should support justice, and those who are chivalrous and brave should be punished and evil." The way of the earth realm has the opposition between returning to the root and immortality, and the people who return to the roots of the fallen leaves give birth to people who are light-hearted and have few desires, and among them, those who are silent and rebel are envious of immortality, and there are also positive and negative poles among the immortals, namely those who cultivate oneself and those who go mad. Talking about the way of heaven and space, it is the opposition of permanence and impermanence, and the opposition of one and multiple is also opposite, and everyone in the world sighs that the way of heaven is inactive, but they worship the heavens and worship the Tao of heaven sincerely, admire the blue clouds and the sky, and say that there is a sky outside the sky. However, this heavenly way is divided, and thinking is not to investigate good and evil. In the face of the three realms at the same time, what is the way to deal with them?"
