(20) The strange dream of the little Taoist priest

In the end, the mute man specially told how the mute Gu on his body was bizarrely lifted, which made people even more surprised and happy when they heard it. It turned out that after the mute great-grandfather intermittently told him the cause and effect of all this, this dry corpse body suddenly slowly disintegrated on its own, and even the robe instantly turned into almost invisible fragments. Under the dumb staring in surprise, the dried corpse disappeared without a trace little by little, leaving only the lotus throne made of white marble.

However, at this moment, on the lotus throne, a dark green bead the size of a pigeon's egg suddenly appeared, and I saw that this dark green bead slowly rolled into the dumb man's hand by itself. At this moment, the three giant pythons raised their huge python heads in unison and nodded three points to the lotus throne. Then, suddenly, a gust of wind blew out of thin air, and the cave was suddenly dark, and then the mute lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he didn't know how to get here. When he saw everyone, he was so excited that he didn't know how to shout out the three stiff words "I-come-also". Only then did he realize that his dumb Gu had miraculously lifted automatically, and he also found that the dark green bead was still tightly held in his left hand.

Under the wonderful speech and excitement of the dumb stumbling, coupled with the foreshadowing of Xiao Qingfeng in advance, everyone finally understood what he wanted to express. After listening to the dumb man's narration, Xiao Qingfeng took everyone again and respectfully bowed deeply in the direction of the entrance of Wanlong Cave.

After worshipping, the primitive nature of the prodigal son and the doll was restored. First, the prodigal son pounced on him with a wicked smile and turned the mute inside out, saying that it was to see if the mute had any private goods. It's just that after a careful search, the prodigal son was a little surprised, except for more than 500 yuan, the others didn't even have a hair. In the end, he was disappointed and directly confiscated the more than 500, saying that he would use the money to have a good drink to suppress the shock after he went back.

The doll was even more powerful, and when she went up, she snatched the dark green bead from the dumb man's hand. Not to mention, this bead is cool, exuding a layer of dark green, slightly translucent, and quite fun. I like the doll very much when I hold it in my hand. It's just that this bead, smelling carefully, has a faint fishy smell, and the doll smells this strange smell after playing with it for a while.

Laughing Maitreya said: "Since the doll likes it, the second brother will give it to her as a love token." Anyway, you haven't married the second brother, and the doll girl hasn't married either. Although there is a bit of a difference in age, everyone is also a woman in love with the rivers and lakes, so these are not very important, are they. Besides, the second brother's kung fu is also ......."

When the doll heard this, she kicked her side and kicked heavily on the fat ass of the laughing Maitreya, and said: "You dead fat man, why didn't the old master who was inside just now take you in, so that you can serve his old man with those pythons and snakes, and it will not be in vain for you and the second brother to form a righteous relationship." ”

Mengshan Turtle smiled: "I said doll, this can really be given to you, because this should be the Neidan that was trained by the giant python that you are most destined for." If you don't believe it, you can ask Master Hou about them, it was that giant python that used it to absorb your soul little by little, and implemented the 'Soul Shifting Dafa' for the second brother's ancestor. ”

When the doll heard this, she was immediately frightened and threw the bead far away. Fortunately, the little Taoist priest stretched out his hand to catch it, and said with a smile: "This is really a treasure, this kind of bead like the Immortal Family Neidan is a divine treasure at a glance, and it must have strange mana." Since it can cure the second brother's dumb Gu, maybe it can also cure my congenital hunchback. As he spoke, he carefully tucked it into his arms as if he had obtained a treasure.

Jing Xin suddenly floated over, stretched out his hand and snatched the bead, and said with a smile: "My Heavenly Disabled Brother, with your innate law body, even if it is the Nine Turns Great Returning Pill of the Tai Bai Star, I am afraid it will not be cured." If anyone can really go against the sky, you should continue to bow down and carefully examine the loess earth under your feet. I think, none of us should think about robbing the second brother's ancestral treasure. This kind of thing with a master should still be in the hands of its owner, so that it can really give full play to the maximum benefit. ”

The lone wolf laughed and said, "Yes, Sister Jingxin is reasonable! It's just that in the future, we can't call the second brother dumb anymore, everyone has already opened their voices, right?

The prodigal son said: "Forget it, just him, except for the body of a boy who is ignorant of the affairs of men and women, the rest is just a thick skin." In terms of fists and feet, it is not necessarily your opponent Brother Wolf, and it is stronger than Brother Maitreya and the doll, maybe even I can't beat it. Not to mention that we also have the Hou Ye and the young master of Nangong, a pair of top masters in the house, in addition, there are also the Hou Ye under the seat, the Heavenly Remnant Brother and Brother Turtle who are different in shape. Saying anything, it's not the second brother's turn to be the protector of the Dharma, everyone says yes, hahaha......" After the prodigal son finished speaking, he immediately pulled the doll and fled away, looking at the people who were still in place with a hippie smile.

For a while, everyone was very happy about the name of the dumb man in the future. In the end, Xiao Qingfeng announced that the name of dumb would continue to be used. Even the dumb man himself insisted that everyone strictly guard his secret for him, and he would continue to be his dumb in front of outsiders.

Yes, as the old saying goes: Misfortune comes from the mouth, too many words must be lost, silence is golden, keep your mouth shut......

Just as everyone was about to start returning, suddenly there was a faint rumbling sound in the mountain behind them, and everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, but just quickened their pace......

Volume 3: The Resentful Spirit of the Lotus Mountain Wolf Grand Canyon

Coming back from Dongshan, everything is back to normal, and everyone is busy with their own things. In the middle, the prodigal son and the doll made several appointments in a row, but they were all because everyone couldn't get together, or because of the weather, and finally it didn't work.

On this day, as soon as the sky was bright, the little Taoist priest rode a bicycle with equipment and suddenly arrived at the door of Xiao Qingfeng's house. After receiving a call from the little Taoist priest outside the gate, Xiao Qingfeng quickly cleaned up and opened the door to let him enter the house. However, the little Taoist priest didn't have the slightest intention of entering the gate, but just whispered a few words, saying that he wanted Xiao Qingfeng to go out with him to talk about something. Seeing him like this, Xiao Qingfeng had to go back and explain briefly to his wife, and then changed into a jacket and backpack, and the two rode away on the mountain bike.

As soon as he got out of the village and saw that there was no one around, the little Taoist priest said seriously: "Master Hou, I had a very strange dream last night, and a place repeatedly appeared in the dream - the main peak of Lotus Mountain. I mean, why don't we just go there today, go to the main peak, and make this strange dream come true. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Why don't we make an appointment with everyone, anyway, today is Sunday, and everyone has just gotten up to wash up at this point, so they should all be at home." Call everyone together and ride Lotus Mountain together, it happens to be cooler today, and everyone will definitely readily agree. Besides, recently Ah Lang and Doll have been clamoring for a happy outdoor activity, like this 100-kilometer ride and more than 700 meters to the top, just so that everyone can release their excess energy. The two immediately began to inform everyone separately, and sure enough, everyone hit it off, all passed, and agreed to meet on the avenue in half an hour.

In less than half an hour, all the people arrived, all of them were in high spirits. Everyone went to the nearby snack shop first and had a simple meal. During the meal, the little Taoist priest told everyone about this strange dream of his. In his dream, he dreamed of his old mentor who had been immortal for many years. The old teacher repeatedly told him to explain one thing, and asked him to go to the main peak of Lotus Mountain a hundred miles away today and find a thousand-year-old cypress tree. Once you've found the ancient cypress tree, look for a dead branch in the shape of a seven-edged tree in the grass beneath the tree. After finding this seven-edged dead branch, insert it into a corresponding seven-edged tree hole in the thousand-year-old cypress tree. After insertion, turn the seven-edged dead branch counterclockwise in the tree hole for a full seven turns, no more and no less. In addition, the little Taoist priest also said that when the old teacher explained this matter, his expression seemed to be very solemn and serious, and he had never seen this kind of serious expression.

Originally, everyone had heard Xiao Qingfeng tell earlier that the little Taoist priest was born with congenital deficiencies, and he was born with a vicious disease, and many people thought that he would never live to be five or six years old. Even his parents slowly despaired after spending all their savings and seeking medical treatment to no avail. When he was three years old, the serious illness became more and more serious, and he was already dying from the pain. At this time, there was an old Taoist with crane hair and a fairy face in the village, and this old Taoist ran directly into the little Taoist's house after entering the village. After obtaining the consent of the little Taoist's parents, he hugged the little Taoist priest and left. Originally, the parents of the little Taoist priest at that time were desperate for their son's illness, and their spirit was about to collapse. Suddenly, seeing such an immortal-like old man coming, and promising to be able to heal his son, of course, he was overjoyed and agreed, allowing others to take away this child who had suffered so much to him.

Since then, the little Taoist priest has been taken by his teacher to a broken Taoist temple in the deep mountains, and has lived a life of seclusion almost isolated from the world. The master and apprentice passed for fifteen years, and in these fifteen years, the old Taoist not only carefully cured his congenital diseases, but also taught him the authentic kung fu of Xuanmen. It's just that the way of heaven is difficult to disobey, and after all, he can't act against the sky, and the life of the little Taoist priest was saved, but he fell into this heavy hunchback.

It's just that the old Taoist specially taught him his Pure Yang Mixed Yuan Banner according to the physical condition of his "Heaven-shaped Turtle". Later, the old Taoist finally died and feathered the immortals, and the little Taoist priest officially went down the mountain after three years of wake, and returned home according to the letter left by the teacher. At this time, he was twenty-one years old, and when he returned home, the whole family was overjoyed, and his parents still worship the spiritual seat of the old Taoist in their home.

Yunmeng Mountain, where the little Taoist master and apprentice lived in seclusion, is only more than 100 miles away from this lotus mountain. But the little Taoist priest has never left the Yunmeng Mountain since he went up the mountain, let alone the Lotus Mountain. After going down the mountain, he met Xiao Qingfeng by chance. After a secret competition, he was deeply impressed by Xiao Qingfeng's knowledge and martial arts, and treated him as a half-master from then on. Especially in the past few years, I have been following Xiao Qingfeng around, and I have also traveled to a lot of places. But due to coincidence, he passed by this Lotus Mountain several times, and never really went to this Lotus Mountain.

Although the little Taoist priest has never had a chance with this Lotus Mountain, most of the other people of the Nine Immortals have been to Lotus Mountain to play, especially the senior old donkey lone wolf, the mute and Xiao Qingfeng, who have been to this Lotus Mountain many times. The thousand-year-old cypress tree that the little Taoist priest said also exists, it grows tenaciously on the top of the main peak of Lotus Mountain, surrounded by strange rocks and boulders. This ancient cypress is independent and outstanding, and it has the simple and heavy taste of thousand-year-old antiquities that have been through vicissitudes.

This thousand-year-old cypress tree is more than ten meters high, the body of the tree is almost two adults together, and the canopy is very large, almost covering most of the mountaintop. It can be seen far away, and the nearby villagers mostly call it the Blessing Tree or the Spirit Tree. Don't look at it is located at the top, every fifteenth day of the new year, there are often people who come to worship incense devoutly, but it is also a perennial incense continuously, and it is said that it is also very effective. For the safety of the mountain forest, the local government also set up a special place on the top of the mountain to make incense to guide believers to worship in a civilized manner. Most people go to Lotus Mountain to play, and most of them have to take pictures under this thousand-year-old cypress, saying that it is stained with its blessing and aura. The lone wolf and they have to stay here for a while every time, but what the little Taoist priest said about the seven-sided tree hole, everyone really has no impression.

Speaking of Lotus Mountain, it is also a well-known tourist attraction in YZ City, especially a good place to escape the heat in summer. Lotus Mountain is not like Dongshan Mountain, which has only three or five independent peaks, it is composed of more than 100 mountains, with undulating peaks and peaks, stretching for dozens of kilometers. The main peak Lotus Peak is more than 700 meters above sea level, although it is not as steep as the East Mountain, but it is also more majestic and majestic. In particular, the coverage rate of primeval forest is more than 70%, and it is an excellent natural oxygen bar. In the mountains, the trees stand in a forest, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the caves are connected, the clear spring flows for a long time, the evening bell of the ancient temple, the air is fresh, the flowers are vibrant, the environment is beautiful, attracting countless tourists to come and enjoy the gifts of nature. It's just that Lotus Mountain is located in a remote area, and the traffic is still a little blocked, and it has only been officially developed on a large scale in recent years, so its fame is still far less loud than the Dongshan that everyone has been to before.

After eating, everyone immediately set off in full gear and headed towards Lotus Mountain under the leadership of the lone wolf. After three hours of galloping, everyone finally arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain at ten o'clock. The lone wolf took everyone directly into an orchard at the foot of a familiar mountain, where everyone bought a few large watermelons and replenished their energy. After resting for more than ten minutes, everyone began to officially go up the mountain. When he greeted the orchard owner and left, the orchard owner, who was in his sixties, seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it when he saw the elated appearance of everyone. Of course, no one really noticed his speechless move.

Leaving the orchard, under the leadership of the lone wolf, everyone went straight to the main peak of Lotus Mountain. I thought that I would go directly to the top of the mountain to do the little Taoist thing, and then have a good time. Due to the nearly three-hour ride, I have already moved my legs and feet, and I don't feel tired when I climb the mountain. Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and they were very happy. After entering the mountain forest, it may be because of the dense vegetation here, everyone feels very cool, and the whole body is indescribably refreshing.

At this moment, the doll suddenly said, "Why do I feel a little weird, supposedly in this big summer, in such a cool place, how can I hardly see tourists?" Yes, since going up the mountain, we have hardly seen any tourists, only a few scenic staff and a few sanitation workers coming down from the mountain. This is indeed a bit unusual in this season, in this good place to escape the heat.
