Chapter 24 Order Flag
On this rainy morning, everything in the forest seemed to have been cleaned, everywhere was green and green, and the stream in front of the house had risen a lot, and some unknown small flowers bloomed in a lonely and uninhabited place.
The air is also very fresh, as if there is still a hint of sweetness, penetrating people's lungs.
Shui Yunyun's complexion was much better, but his demeanor was still a little sluggish, and he seemed to have put a lot of effort into trying to remember what happened before.
Shui Lingyue was as white as snow, her face was as cold as frost, and she had been silently by her side, and the two walked slowly in the forest.
Chu Qing looked carefree, holding a dog's tail grass in her hand, either rubbing her nose or teasing Feng Shuzhu on the side.
After walking a distance, Chu Qing turned around to look for it because he was worried that the little fat bear bag would be left behind, but saw that Granny Duan's house, where she stayed last night, was gradually swallowed up by the thick fog, and the two wooden houses that were faintly by the stream seemed to be somewhat similar to the houses she had stayed in before entering the underground palace.
So, he stretched out his hand and pulled down Feng Shuzhu, and said in confusion: "Brother Feng, how is this mother-in-law's wooden house very similar to the house I met with Yuan Wuxi?"
Feng Shuzhu paused, turned around, looked at it, and said lightly: "Don't talk about this, just the green mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles, there are more than 100 wooden houses like this. ”
Chu Qing nodded, but after thinking about it, he said, "Is that this kind of forest wooden house, which is the hermitage of the old immortals?"
Feng Shuzhu smiled slightly and said, "Nine times out of ten are inhabited by ordinary mountain people, how can there be so many immortals in the world." ”
While speaking, Granny Duan's two wooden houses had completely disappeared into the dense fog, and then what appeared was actually a waterfall, Chu Qing saw it in his eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Brother Feng, that mother-in-law's wooden house has disappeared, how can a waterfall appear?"
The sound of speaking also caused Shui Lingyue and Shui Yunqiu to stop and turn around to watch, only to see that the two-zhang thick waterfall hung upside down from the sky, the silver light flickered, and the sound was like thunder, which made people dazzled and frightened, and they could faintly feel the mist from a distance of dozens of zhang.
Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "This is Granny Duan's Fog Hidden Array. ”
Chu Qing was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Fog Hidden Array?"
Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, it is to use fog to hide the house." ”
Chu Qing was even more puzzled, and said, "What's the use of hiding, walking into the fog, can't you still find the wooden house?"
Feng Shuzhu shook his head and said, "This fog lock array is ever-changing, and there are many illusions, and if you are not careful, you will either be led into the abyss or a bottomless swamp. ”
Chu Qing looked surprised, glanced at the waterfall more, and said, "So powerful." ”
Feng Shuzhu nodded again and said, "Most of the immortal places in this world are difficult to find, because there are various formations, and even some cultivators with advanced Taoism can hide the entire mountain and one sect. As he spoke, he glanced at Shui Lingyue, and continued: "For example, Master Shuiyue can hide the entire Shuiyue Palace. ”
Chu Qing turned her head in surprise, looked at Shui Lingyue not far away, and asked, "Really? Sister Shui." ”
Shui Lingyue glanced at the dense fog in the distance, and did not say anything, but nodded lightly.
Chu Qing opened her mouth wide, thought for a moment, and then said, "Wouldn't it be difficult to see Sister Shui in the future." ”
Shui Lingyue was silent, a pair of cold eyes swept her eyes at Feng Shuzhu, then turned around, took a step and continued to walk forward.
A light breeze blew, blowing the long hair in her ears, revealing cheeks like frost and snow, she paused, but did not say anything more, but raised her hand to pull the water cloud beside her, facing the wind, without the slightest hesitation, and went away in the air.
The graceful sword blossom, like a deeply hidden trace, flew into the morning mist in the distance, and then the morning mist surrounded her, leaving no trace, but leaving a trace of unforgettable coldness.
Picking up the little chubby bear bag that had run over, Chu Qing was still staring at the direction where Shui Lingyue was going, and said, "Brother Feng, Sister Shui, they're gone, where are we going next?"
Feng Shuzhu quietly looked at the mist in the forest, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly for a while, and said, "Aren't you going to buy a carriage, let's go to the town." ”
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then she came to her senses, jumped up, and said, "Really, Brother Feng." ”
Feng Shuzhu smiled and nodded: "There are too many edgeworthies, and many people and things will be missed, let's go." Before he could finish speaking, he turned and left.
Chu Qing didn't think much about it, but followed closely behind Feng Shuzhu, and the two of them continued to walk slowly in the forest, one after the other.
In a few moments, the morning glimmer filtered through the treetops, dispelling the morning mist that drifted through the trees, and sprinkled it on the lawn, except for the faint sound of birdsong in the distance.
Feng Shuzhu walked in front of him, silent all the time.
Looking at his back, that pretty figure, the corner of Chu Qing's mouth behind him showed a faint smile. This is the big brother Feng who he misses in every way and follows hard. It seems that as long as he is by his side, even if he only gives himself a back, he will feel that no matter how big the danger is, he can turn the danger into a disaster, and no matter how big the wind and waves can be safe.
That's it, that's it, follow him, silently, silently, forever, okay?
Just when he was letting go of his mind and thinking about it, Feng Shuzhu suddenly stopped in front of him, turned around and looked over, Chu Qing's heart jumped, and he also stopped at the same time.
Feng Shuzhu saw that her face was strange, and there seemed to be an indescribable smile in her joy, so she looked up and down, and said, "Qing'er?"
"Huh?" Chu Qing replied softly.
"Do you remember Shuangshan Lake?"
"Remember, it's the place where Uncle Liang was kidnapped. Chu Qing replied from his fantasy.
Feng Shuzhu saw that her expression had turned normal, and said while thinking: "Why did those people choose to start at Shuangshan Lake?"
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's convenient to escape." ”
Feng Shuzhu was silent for a long time, and then said: "Why did the double-faced Buddha and demon choose to make trouble in Luotian Mountain?"
Chu Qing frowned and said, "It's close, it's convenient." ”
Feng Shuzhu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it nearby?"
Chu Qing saw that he kept asking about the things that these adults were concerned about, and said a little impatiently: "It's nearby, for example, if we go to buy a carriage, why don't we go to Shimen Town to buy it, but we have to go to the town near here to buy it?"
When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he was shocked, but he immediately smiled and said, "Qing'er was in a hurry to buy a carriage." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look around, sighed softly, and said, "Perhaps, we really need a carriage, walk slowly, find it slowly, who is it for 'nearby'? Where did Yan Shutian go?" he said to the back, his voice was extremely low, as if he was talking to himself.
A shout suddenly came from behind the forest, and two faint sword rays could be faintly seen, one red and one black, flying and circling, revealing the strange aura of Sensen.
Chu Qing was startled, and was about to speak, but was covered by Feng Shuzhu's mouth with his hand, and his body was rolled up, only to feel a flicker in front of him, and then flew up the tree, lightly shuttled and flew among the leafy ancient trees, and finally fell lightly on a thick ancient branch, the two held their breath and looked down.
I saw an old man, his eyes flickering, wearing a gray robe, with three locks of long hair under his chin, but obviously the left side of the lock was lighter in color, which looked much more natural, and there was a bamboo pole upside down on the grass on the side, with a square flag hanging on it, which said "Knowing things like gods", it was the phase master Yi Dingjia that Feng Shuzhu had met many times.
I saw that his hands were sealed, pointing and pointing, and he led the two flying swords hovering in front of him, the two flying swords were one long and one short, the long sword was black, the sword body was heavy, and a black gas was entwined and circulating; the short sword was red all over, the sword body was light, and a red gas was entwined and circling, which was the "Buddha and Demon Twin Swords" driven by the double-faced Buddha and demon that day!
When Feng Shuzhu saw this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and he couldn't figure out what this Yi Dingjia was going to do, so he calmed down and continued to observe.
But seeing that Yi Dingjia continued to try to attract the "Buddha and Demon Twin Swords", the two swords obviously did not obey the call, swaying in the air, almost colliding together several times, and after several inducements, finally the two swords were on the hilt and hung steadily.
Yi Dingjia smiled slightly, as if he felt that he was done, and then made a downward gesture, only to see the two swords falling and inserting into the ground at the same time, seeing that he quickly lay down again, and at the same time covered his ears with his hands, as if there would be a loud noise.
After a long time, but no vision occurred, Yi Dingjia lay on the ground and waited for a while, and finally shook his head in disappointment, stood up, walked over and pulled out his double swords, and said to himself: "Alas, if you don't exert your power, how can the old man go back to Luotian Mountain to dig out the buried treasure?"
While speaking, I tried to look at the blade, the ordinary double sword should be one attack and one defense, the long sword is good at attacking, and the short sword is good at guarding. But Yi Dingjia's hand holding the short sword was light, but the long sword was too heavy for him, so he could only hold it back, the short sword was in front, and to be precise, the other hand was carrying the long sword. Then the hands holding the sword actually danced, making a gesture, and at the beginning they also danced the double swords up and down, Qiao looked like Qiao, and then because of the heavy long sword inertia traction, the pace began to be messy, and the body was also like a drunken reckless man, swaying. It was a turning back stabbing action, but the force was too strong, and it was easy to stand still, but the beard on the lower jaw fell off, leaving only a lock on the left side, which looked ridiculous.
Yi Dingjia hurriedly threw down his double sword, picked up his beard, tried to stick it to his jaw, and at the same time looked left and right in the forest for a long time, and when he saw that no one found it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This goatee is really not easy to use." ”
After speaking, he looked at the "Buddha and Demon Twin Swords" on the ground, and sighed: "Alas, like this kind of magic blade, such a righteous person as old and decayed, it is really difficult to control, it is really different from each other, I think it is better to find a good buyer and exchange it for some silver." As he spoke, he shook his head, picked up the jacket on the side, wrapped the double swords, put them behind his back, picked up the bamboo pole carrying the square flag, patted the robe, and walked in the direction of the official road.
Seeing that Yi Dingjia had already walked away, Feng Shuzhu pulled Chu Qing and jumped to the ground.
Chu Qing finally couldn't help it, bent down and smiled: "Haha, wind, big brother Feng, this old man, do you recognize you?"
Feng Shuzhu looked at the direction where Yi Dingjia was going, nodded and said, "I recognize, it's a physiognomy master, who calls himself Yi Dingjia, and I met him in Shimen Town for the first time." ”
When Chu Qing heard this, he stopped laughing, also turned his head to look over, and said, "Shimen Town? He also lives in Cangqing Mountain, did he come so far to tell the fortune?"
Feng Shuzhu shook his head unconsciously, but nodded again, falling into deep thought.
Seeing this, Chu Qing didn't bother anymore, walked to the place where Yi Dingjia dropped the sword, looked at the two deep pits on the land, and turned around and said, "Brother Feng, did those two swords originally belong to this old man?"
Feng Shuzhu glanced at Chu Qing and said, "Those two swords are called 'Buddha and Demon Twin Swords', and they are double-faced Buddha and demon. ”
Chu Qing seemed to be extremely interested, and said in a low voice: "Double-faced Buddha Demon, it's quite terrifying to hear the name, what does he look like." ”
Feng Shuzhu smiled and said: "It's the demon who besieged Naluotian Mountain, he looks like a big monk on weekdays, but his appearance is a double-faced monster." ”
Chu Qing was taken aback, her eyes widened, and she said, "Double-headed, is that two faces growing at the same time?" As he spoke, he gestured a face with his hands next to his delicate cheeks.
Feng Shuzhu smiled heartily and said, "It's two faces, one in front and one in the back, not what you think." ”
Chu Qing stuck out his tongue and asked, "Why are those two swords in the hands of the old man?
Feng Shuzhu looked up at the front, sighed lightly, and said, "The double-faced Buddha demon has been destroyed." ”
"Oh," Chu Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Why is the old man's beard fake?" and laughed as he asked, because he remembered that Yi Ding was like that, it really made people laugh.
Feng Shuzhu also smiled: "Because he was greedy for money, he took risks and was burned." ”
As soon as he heard the word "money", the little fat bear bag broke free from Chu Qing, jumped to the ground, pulled Chu Qing's skirt, pointed ahead, and made a brisk walking motion.
Chu Qing glanced at it and said angrily: "What are you doing, do you want to dig treasures, you are really a money fan, you didn't see that the beard of the old man Yi Dingjia was burned, and he almost lost his life." ”
Hearing this, the little fat bear bag squatted down, scratched his belly, looked at Chu Qing for a while, and looked ahead for a while, as if he didn't dare to advance and was reluctant to retreat.
Chu Qing knew that it was timid and didn't dare to go by itself, so she didn't pay attention to the little fat bear bag, but continued to ask: "Brother Feng, how tall is the two-faced Buddha demon?"
Feng Shuzhu saw that he was so interested in the affairs of the Double-faced Buddhist Temple in Luotian Mountain, and as soon as his mind changed, he recounted how he pretended to be arrested and investigated in the mountain, how he fought the double-faced Buddha and demon, how the double-faced Buddha and demon transformed, and the origin of the "Buddha and Demon Twin Swords", etc., one by one.
Chu Qing stared at a pair of watery eyes on the side, listened carefully, and when he arrived at the thrilling place, he couldn't help but show his worry and let out an exclamation of "ah";
Seeing that she was so engaged, Feng Shuzhu suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Then do you want to know more about these things?"
When Chu Qing heard this, he clasped his hands happily and said, "Of course I think so, Big Brother Feng." ”
Seeing this, Feng Shuzhu coughed lightly and said, "Then, we will explore Shuangshan Lake at night tonight, and the carriage can only be bought in a few days." After speaking, he squinted at Chu Qing to find out her reaction.
When Chu Qing heard this, it seemed that it was a little difficult to choose, but after all, he clapped his hands and said, "The carriage can be bought later, let's go on an adventure." ”
Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Then we have to hurry as soon as possible." ”
Chu Qing smiled, pulled up the wind and said, "You must arrive before sunset!"
When the little chubby bear bag heard this, he seemed to be more energetic, twisted his fat body, and ran up in front, turning back and waving his claws from time to time, urging him to follow quickly, as if it had an urgent matter of burning his eyebrows.
After walking on the official road, not to mention the widening of the road, the number of people gradually increased, but most of them were on horseback or driving.
Chu Qing was worried that the little fat bear bag would be caught by the curious, so she chased after it and put it into the cloth bag before continuing to hurry.
At this time, it was almost noon, the sun was in the middle, a little hot, the two of them also hurried some way, quite hungry and thirsty, in the midst of difficulties, looked up and suddenly saw a small tea stall on the side of the road.
Feng Shuzhu slowed down, frowned slightly, and quietly observed. It was originally the place where the monks of Kongjue Temple were ambushed, and at this moment, the traces of the fire in the forest beside the road are still there, but the small tea stall is still supported under the big tree. There are a few trolleys parked near the side of the road, there are already a few guests sitting in them, the guys are draped with towels on their shoulders, and they are shuttling back and forth to greet the guests, what is different from the previous is that the small tea stall not only has the word "tea" written on the guise of soliciting guests, but also has a red pennant on the side, on which the word "beam" is written in a small seal style, and two simple thatched houses have been built behind the big tree, and there is a burst of cooking fire inside. What is going on, and who is it, who rebuilt this dispensable small tea stall overnight.
With many questions, Feng Shuzhu pulled Chu Qing, walked to the table and sat down, the guy greeted him with a smile, and ran over and said, "Hello two guest officers, do you want to drink tea or eat?"
Feng Shuzhu was stunned for a moment and said, "What, you can also eat at this tea stall?"
The guy smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are no better than the restaurant in that town, there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, just some coarse tea and light rice with a full stomach." ”
Feng Shuzhu nodded slightly and said, "Then let's have a pot of tea and a few special side dishes." ”
The guy flicked the towel and shouted, "Okay, a pot of tea, four pieces of cake." Later, he brought a pot of tea and two thick bowls, and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, please use it slowly, the side dishes will be ready immediately." ”
The two of them picked up the teacups, and listened to the chatter of a few people next to each other while drinking tea, only to hear the old man dressed as Mr. Yibao chatting with several young and strong porters dressed in short shirts: "I said that a few of them are passing by." ”
Those men echoed one after another, and said: "Mr. has good eyesight, we are waiting for the delivery of goods to the Liang Mansion, passing by here, I am thirsty, and I am resting." ”
When the old man heard the "Liang Mansion", he was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "It turns out that a few people are delivering goods to the Liang Shilang Mansion, envy, envy." ”
One of the porters asked, "We are very envious of the delivery people." ”
When the old man heard this, he came to his head and said, "How many people have heard about the double-faced Buddha making trouble in Luotian before?"
When the porters heard this, their eyes were frightened, and they all nodded their heads and said that they knew.
Seeing this, the old man thought for a while, and Fang said again: "A few people don't know, the patriarch of the Luotian Liang clan invited the Kongjue Temple and the Guiyun Audience Sword Immortal to subdue the demon, guess what?"
When several porters heard about the Kongjue Temple and the Guiyun Temple, their eyes widened unconsciously, and they echoed: "What's the matter?"
The old man smacked his lips, sighed with regret, and said, "Miserable, it's really miserable, do you know that hundreds of sword immortals of the two factions have been killed!"
"Ahh
The old man saw that everyone was suspicious, and said: "If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you can go to the newly built immortal temple to verify this time. ”
"That two-faced Buddha demon is still in Luotian Mountain at the moment?" someone asked anxiously.
The old man turned his head and said: "Good question, this double-faced Buddhism is profound, Kongjue Temple and Guiyun Guan have no way to take him, fortunately, God cares for the people of Luotian, Liang Zonggongzi of Liang Shilang's family, returned from overseas immortal cultivation, and wiped out all the demons and demons in one fell swoop, and returned to this place a peaceful place." The old man saluted as he spoke.
One of the men said in a rough voice: "I don't believe it, the senior monk of the Kongjue Temple can't take the double-faced Buddha." ”
The guy on the side served the last dish for Feng Shuzhu, turned around to participate in the chat, and said: "This brother, you don't believe it, I didn't believe it originally, but did you see it," he said, pointing to the charred trees and land on the side of the road, and then said: "Just last night, the monks of Kongjue Temple, who retreated from Luotian Mountain, were ambushed by the Demon Dao here, but I witnessed it with my own eyes. As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and pointed them to his eyes, swearing that he was authentic.
A few men looked in the direction of the guy's fingers, but didn't they, how could this miserable appearance in front of them be done by mortals, and they didn't feel that they believed it in their hearts, and asked with concern: "Then there are still many demons and demons in this place." ”
The guy shook the towel, smiled, and said: "Last night, the last group of demon demons have been eradicated by Liang Zonggongzi, the world is really peaceful here, and Liang Zonggongzi also let go, as long as he carries the 'Liang' word Lingqi, he is Liang Zong's family and is protected by it." As he spoke, he pointed to the "Liang" flag next to the tea stall, which was hunting and dancing in the wind at this time, so it was not conspicuous.
Several men looked at each other and asked, "Then where can I get this Lingqi?"
When the guy heard this, he smiled and said, "This store has it, it's just, it's just ......."
One of the older men asked, "It's just what, man, but it's okay, I'm all rough people, and we won't beat around the bush." ”
When the man heard this, he said, "It's just that it takes a lot of work to make this flag, and it takes some silver taels." After speaking, he coughed dryly and glanced at a few men.
The old man smiled honestly and said, "As long as I keep safe, I am willing to spend some silver taels, but I don't know how much silver I need?"
The guy looked a few porters up and down, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't think a few people are rich, the poor should be towards the poor, can you tattoo five taels of silver?"
When several men heard this, they swallowed their saliva, how can this flag be worth five taels of silver on weekdays, but at this time, their lives are at stake, so they discussed with each other, and after a long time, it was enough for four taels, and the older man collected all the silver taels, held them in his hands, and looked at the guy with pitiful and begging eyes.
The man's eyes rolled, and he bit his fingertips with his mouth, as if he had suffered a great loss, before he took the silver and said, "Forget it, forget it, when I suffer, when I suffer." He turned around and went back, took a "Liang" flag from the thatched hut, and gave it to the men.
As if they had obtained a treasure, several porters carefully inserted them into the cart, as if they had received the "gold medal for avoiding death" given by the emperor.
"The old man doesn't know how this Liang Zonggongzi has the skills to keep every shop and walking vehicle that planted the flag, can he not be able to do it. An old man dressed as a teacher got up and scolded angrily.
Feng Shuzhu glanced at Mr. Teaching, nodded, put down his chopsticks, and listened carefully.
Several men also suddenly realized, and suddenly felt deceived, stood up, surrounded him, and said angrily to the guy: "Say it quickly, say it quickly!"
At this time, the old man dressed up as an old man before, got up and said: "Several, this is the frog at the bottom of the well, how can Liang Zonggongzi be alone, he returned from the overseas immortal mountain this time, and there are no less than 100 brothers and sisters who came with him, within a radius of 500 miles, there is a person patrolling the sword every half an hour, if you don't believe it, please see." As he spoke, he pointed with his hand, and saw several sword flowers flying back and forth in the sky, so lively.
Seeing this, several men still had questions, and they all apologized to the guys, and they were convinced of this matter.
Seeing this, the teacher sighed, flicked his sleeves, threw down a few copper coins, and walked away laughing, shouting as he walked: "You sing, I'll appear, haha,...... Haha" laughed with great pain.
