Tomb Robbers: Chapter 8: The Shepherd Boy Weaves Grass Swallows
The "big ghost" was like a leather ball, rolling twice, but fortunately it didn't fall off the table.
"Big ghost!"
Yixi's tone was very solemn and drunk.
The "big ghost" didn't dare to slack off, rushed up, and bit down on the stem of the strange flower.
With this bite, the strange flower was willing to let go and spit out his head.
Yiyi helped Yichao to the bed and carefully checked him, but fortunately, he found it in time and there was nothing serious.
"Girl, take the flowers to the window and put them where the moonlight can shine. ”
"Yes, master. ”
Lin Chen also came to the bedside to visit Yichao, and he asked Yixi, what was going on.
Yiyi looked at the sleepy one lying on the bed, and he couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, he told Lin Chen that this was "the gluttony of the beast".
"What we saw just now is that it is the 'Chaos' that is absorbing the 'Yin and Yang Dao Power' of the past!"
Lin Chen looked stunned.
"Chaos, like the Great Ghost, is an "alien thing". ”
Ma Jiazu's book "Yin and Yang Original" contains, "Strange Things", foreign things outside the Three Realms and Six Realms, created and born, shocking and rare, and infinite ability. Those who hold "foreign creatures" as the gods will fall into the "gluttony of foreign beasts" and eat their yin and yang powers, until they are exhausted, and people die.
Legends contain "strange creatures": "big ghost", "little ghost", "chaos", "beneath", "gale".
"Brother Yixi, you said so much, why can't I understand a word?"
Lin Chen turned from stunned to dazed.
"Having said so much to you, a person who doesn't understand the way of yin and yang, it's also difficult for you, you go back to your room to rest first. Once he just fell asleep from exhaustion, it's no big deal, I'll stay here tonight to take care of him, rest assured to sleep!"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's been a hard day, brother, then I'll go out first. ”
Yixi nodded, and then looked at Yichao quietly, thinking in his heart, although we who learn the way of yin and yang, although we can measure people's lives by arithmetic. However, even if we know about it, what can we do? We know that there is a catastrophe in our lives, but we cannot avoid it, and all we can do is to take precautions and minimize the losses.
Brotherhood is deep. Yiyi knows the pain of "Beast Gluttony", but feels guilty for the helplessness of his brother's fate.
At dawn, I got up together as usual, looked at the "Chaos" on the table, and it was growing very well, and it had grown buds the size of fists.
I once snorted at the window and stretched as if nothing had happened last night.
He came out of the room alone, he couldn't see the girl, and he couldn't see his brother Yixi, only Lin Chen, who was also sitting on the terrace alone, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"Hah!"
Once scared Lin Chen from behind.
"Ah——!h
Frightened, Lin Chen almost cursed, he slapped his chest, and breathed slowly, "Brother Yichao!
"What are you doing here, do you see my brother?"
"Nope!"
Lin Chen thought of the terrifying incident last night, and saw that he had nothing to do with it, and asked without asking: "Brother Yichao, are you okay?"
Once looked at Lin Chen's strange appearance, "What can it be?"
"Just last night, you ......"
"Ahh
"Are you really okay?"
"What the hell are you asking?"
"Brother Yi, do you remember what happened last night before you fell asleep?"
He frowned and remembered last night.
"Last night, last night...... Oh! I remembered! I was lying on the table, looking at Chaos, and before I knew it, I fell asleep!"
"That's it?"
"That's it!By the way, I'll tell you the good news, Chaos was still a bud last night, and it has grown buds this morning, and it seems that it will return to its true form just around the corner!"
"That's good! You don't remember, it's good!"
Lin Chen's words, the first half of the sentence was loud, and the second half of the sentence lowered the vocal segment.
"What the hell are you going to say?"
"I don't know how to explain it to you......!
"What about my brother?"
A voice from someone else interjected.
"The master is resting, and if there is anything he tells me to do, I can do it. ”
It turned out to be the shepherd boy who had led them into the mountains before!
Lin Chen said to the shepherd boy, "Brother Zhang, are you back?"
"I picked some straw and can teach you how to weave now!"
Once he saw the shepherd boy carrying two bundles of straw in his hand, he asked Lin Chen what he was doing.
"When I woke up, I saw Brother Zhang weaving grass swallows here, I thought it was fun, so I asked Brother Zhang to teach me to weave, but the straw used for weaving was not enough, I was not familiar with the land, so I had to bother Brother Zhang to pick some back. No, we have grass to weave now!"
While Lin Chen was talking, he and the shepherd boy divided the straw and smoothed it out.
Once I stayed aside, I was also very interested in the craft of weaving grass, but I had offended this shepherd boy before, so it was not easy to join.
After all, it was my own gaffe first, and I should apologize if I am reasonable!
Once plucked up his courage and was a little serious, "This, this, Brother Zhang! I have been offended a lot before, it is really rude, I hope that Big Brother, you don't remember the villain, forgive me once!"
Although the shepherd boy was busy with his work and did not look at him directly, he accepted Yi's apology, and said in a very gentle tone: "Although I am a little older, my voice is still childish, and it is normal for people to misunderstand that I am a child!
"Brother Zhang is really magnificent, then you don't blame me?"
"The master is my benefactor, and you are the master's younger brother, how can I blame you?"
Seeing that the two of them released their previous suspicions, Lin Chen was also relieved, and he asked for a while, "Do you want to learn to weave grass swallows?"
"Okay!"
In this way, I also joined the team of learning.
"By the way, Brother Zhang, you just said that my brother is your benefactor, what's going on?"
When the shepherd boy heard this, he put down the straw rope in his hand and sighed, "Alas."
"This matter starts more than 30 years ago! My real surname is Zhang, my name is Muzhi, and my father is a minister in the court. Unexpectedly, more than 30 years ago, when I was eight years old, my father was involved in an official struggle and was unfortunately killed by a traitorous minister. The traitors colluded with the robbers outside the city, forcibly kidnapped me as a threat, lured my father out of the city, killed my father and me under the pretense of robbers, and threw my body into the dry well of the deserted village. After I died, I not only suffered from the sun and rain, but also knew about insect bite and ant food. For a long time, the resentment was difficult to dissipate, until the resentment became an evil spirit, harming people everywhere. ”
At this point, the shepherd boy was already teary-eyed and choked up several times.
Lin Chen stroked the shepherd boy's back and comforted him.
Later, the news of my harm reached the ears of the traitor, and he was afraid that one day I would seek revenge on him, so he used his power to let the Yin and Yang officials destroy me. After that, I met the Yin-Yang official who had been ordered to subdue me. Naturally, I can't resist him, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not willing to let my father bear the infamy of a rebellious minister and thief. As I was dying, I told the Yin-Yang Officer what had happened to me. When he learned my story, not only did he not beat me to ashes, but he also decided to use his "Yin Yang Dao Power" to help me resolve my resentment!"
"The yin and yang official you are talking about, is it Brother Yixi?"
"It's the master! The fact that the master let me go let the traitor know that the master was forced to lose his official position because of this! But the master said that he took the initiative to resign! I owe the master a kindness, and I can't pay it off in ten lifetimes!"
Lin Chen was already moved to cry, "I didn't expect Brother Yixi to be so affectionate!"
Once I heard it, I was very moved but not surprised, moved because his brother was a loving and righteous person, not surprising because he knew that his brother was a loving and righteous person.
"My brother has been very affectionate since he was a child, and among the five brothers, he loves me the most, more than my mother......!
"What happened then? What happened to you? Did you resolve your grievances?"
"The master said that I have too deep grievances, and it is not a day's work to resolve my grievances!
"By the way, Brother Zhang, do you remember that we had a relationship before, and you showed me the way!"
"You mean in front of Mr. Ichigua's house?"
Ichijo nodded.
The shepherd boy replied, "Of course I do!"
"But when I saw you at the time, it wasn't like what you are now, to be precise, it was 'human'!"
The shepherd boy had been seen to look like a wild beast, with long, slender arms, neatly textured skin, layered and gray, and long, pointed fingernails like the claws of a wild beast.
"It's a matter of resentment! Every once in a while, I become a beast. When the time comes, I will come to my master, who will find a way to remove my grievances for a while, and I can become a human again!"
"I see!"
"However, every time the master consumes the 'Yin and Yang Dao Power' to dissipate my resentment, the master will be very weak, so weak that he can't even summon the girl!
"You said Brother Yixi is in retreat? What's wrong with him?"
Lin Chen saw that Yichao was asking about Yixi's situation, and he remembered that he had promised Yiyi in the morning before Yiyi's retreat that he would not tell Yichao about his loss of Dao power to Yichao.
"Hmm...... Brother Yixi is just a little tired!He just wants to sleep longer!" Lin Chen said as he quietly gave the shepherd boy a look.
"Oh oh oh oh seems like this!haha, let's hurry up and learn how to weave grass swallows with me first......"
"I see!"
The shepherd boy succeeded in changing the subject, so the three of them concentrated on making up the grass swallows.
It's not so much that he was ingenious, but that the teacher taught him well! After a while, he and Lin Chen both completed their own grass swallows, and compared with the shepherd boy's weaving, although they were a little worse, they were all acceptable, and they did have the appearance of swallows.
