Along the way, Soda drove the wagon. Nonstop.

The bumps along the way, Soda felt that his buttocks were sore and uncomfortable, and the whole person was confused, wanting to fall asleep, and was woken up by the bumps. Later, the sleeping soda rolled out of the carriage, and by the time he woke up, the carriage had already galloped far away.

"I was going to be a hero to save the United States, but now who will save me?" Soda touched his aching chest, looked at the white mist valley around him, and said to himself, "Let's hurry up and find Duo'er." ”

Soda felt like she was lost. In the deep valley at night, the wind of ghosts crying and wolf howls is endless. Soda has been moving forward, not wanting to stay too long, although he usually kills pigs and sheep, but now the atmosphere is not at home, and then the wind makes the fog recede, and the sky shows shining stars, Soda is tired, snuggling on a big stone, take out the beef and wine marinated at home while eating and drinking and sighing: "I heard that the people in the village say that this cloud valley is a demon valley, and I don't know what happened to Duo'er, the wife I bought will not be a demon." Talking to himself, he fell asleep from exhaustion. Until dawn.

"Little brother, wake up. ”

Soda was awakened and saw a man in white, he looked at Soda with a pair of almond eyes, and said politely: "In Xia Baipu, my brother is from that cave?"

Soda didn't know how to answer, so he asked: "Under Soda, may I ask Brother Bai Pu from that hole?"

Bai Pu touched his stiff and straight hair, and said with a smile: "Fox yellow and white willow gray, below is the person from Yungu Baifu." ”

Soda said, "This place is the legendary Cloud Valley?"

Bai Pu said, "Yes, you're not from Yungu?"

Soda said: "Yungu is all demons, where are there people?"

Bai Pu smiled: "We are just a little higher than mortal kung fu." He likes to live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, and do good deeds and accumulate virtues. That's why mortals call us immortals. Demons are harmful. We are kind, how can we be demons. ”

Soda said, "You really don't play with people, you don't kill people, you don't eat people?"

Bai Pu smiled: "That's what a psychopathic demon does." I have a sunny mind, a bright expression, and a friendly heart, Brother Soda, is my appearance hideous?"

Soda said, "Brother Bai Pu, do you know if there is a girl named Duo'er in this valley. ”

Bai Pu said with a smile: "This cloud valley is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small. There are thirty-six caves, I don't know which cave this girl belongs to?"

Soda said, "Do you know Bilong Pond?"

Bai Pu's face was embarrassed: "The future of this Bilong Pond is treacherous, Brother Soda don't want to go there, I guess you must be a mortal who strayed into this Cloud Valley, right?"

Soda nodded: "I'm here to save people." ”

Bai Pu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You have a smell of human flesh on your body, if you are found by a man-eating monster, it will be bad." Well, brother, go to me first and settle down. ”

Bai Pu's home is also a cave house, there is a small pavilion in the cave, Bai Pu found a big iron pot, filled it with water, lit a fire under the stove, and scattered some green onions, ginger slices, star anise. Then he said to Soda Friendly: "You quickly take off your clothes, jump into the pot and take a shower, and get rid of the smell of human flesh." Otherwise, you will attract youkai and your life will be lost. ”

Soda hurriedly took off his clothes, stepped into the pot, and said, "Brother Bai, this water is a little cold?"

Bai Pu brought a bowl of wine and said, "The fire has just been lit, and the water temperature has not yet risen, so let's go pick up some firewood again, you drink this bowl of wine first, warm up your body first, and sleep beautifully." ”

Soda drank the wine and said with a smile, "If this fire is too hot, I will be cooked." ”

Bai Pu picked up the radish out of the kitchen and took a bite, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, you stay in the pot safely, and add some cold water when it's hot." So Bai Pu happily went to collect firewood.

Soda drank and actually fell asleep. If nothing else, he will turn into a pot of broth, but the liar Bai Pu is gone, and Duo'er is here. She doused a scoop of cold water to wake up Soda: "I'm Duo'er, you sleep well here." ”

was woken up, but there was an extra girl in front of Soda, she was fair-skinned, delicate, and had long black hair, she smiled at Soda. The drunken soda blinked and said, "My wife is so beautiful!"

"Smack!" Doll slapped Soda: "You're going to be boiled and eaten, don't run yet." ”

Soda covered his face and suddenly realized: "Duo'er, you finally came to me, if you don't come again, I will die." ”

Duo'er said: "I'll come to look for you as soon as I'm healed, go quickly, if Bai Pu comes back and is caught by him again, he will definitely barbecue you." ”

"Are you sure you're not a demon, and you won't barbecue me?"

"I'm going to hurt you, how could I be hurt in your fight with the human-faced beast. ”

The two walked for a long time one after the other, and when they heard the sound of the waterfall and saw the fragrance of green flowers, the waterfall sloped down and accumulated in the pool. On the waterhole stood an old man, dressed in a white robe with white hair and beard. The body is clean and does not get a drop of water. The old man closed his eyes, but he heard someone coming: "You are coming?"

Duo'er pointed to Soda and said, "Old man Yun, he is the person you are looking for." ”

"Duo'er, go and get me a jug of wine. Old man Yun waved his hand to signal Duo'er to retreat, he looked at Soda and said, "Soda, I haven't seen you for ten years, do you remember the old man?"

Soda. "It turned out to be you. You are the liar, who has eaten and drunk wine and meat at my house for half a year, and has thousands of dollars in my family's money. As a result, I was taught a trick to make a mouse hole. I'm twenty-seven, and I haven't kissed a girl's mouth. ”

"Stingy, my escape technique is not something that ordinary people can learn. This time I called you to make amends. How about I'm teaching you a set of water skills?"

"Old man, Hugh is going to lie to me again and pay me back. ”

"The money is at the bottom of this pool. Take it yourself. ”

"The previous bath was a little greasy, this time take a clean water bath!" Soda simply jumps into the pool, and the waterfall from above washes through the pool to form a torrent. He struggled to swim. Choking on water in his mouth, making himself breathless.

Soda felt every acupuncture point in his body being pounded in an orderly manner by a powerful stream of water as thin as a finger. There was a tingling in the body. After taking a bath, his stomach also swelled like a frog, and he walked ashore with great difficulty, and began to vomit: "You big liar, you don't have a copper coin." ”

Old Man Yun looked at Soda's embarrassed appearance and said, "You still have a human smell on your body, go wash it again." ”

"I am a butcher, a pig and a sheep slaughterer, and I stink to the bones. ”

Old man Yun sat on the clouds, he leisurely drank a pot of wine, and with a wave of his hand, a waterfall flew out of the waterhole, like a satin wrapped in soda, and pulled the soda into the waterhole again: "I see that you still have to wash your mouth." ”

The pressure of the water made his chest tight, the light and shadow under the water made him trance, and Soda closed his eyes and tried to relax, feeling himself like a mass of phytoplankton absorbing a large number of bubbles in the water.

Duo'er appeared on the clouds, biting the apple, and the other hand was holding beef and wine, and she asked the old man Yun: "Old man, are you soaking him in water like this?"

"He can't drown. The old man said with a smile: "This kid has been washed, and he is also a beautiful man, and he will definitely get into trouble with flowers and grass in the future." ”

"He stinks, what woman would like him. Duo'er said, threw a new pair of pants down, and pocketed a few apples: "Your stinky clothes smell too strong, throw them away." ”

Soda peeked out of the water, biting half an apple and spitting out indistinct words: "Can I go ashore, I can't stay in the water and eat, right?"

"From now on, you will eat, drink, sleep, and urinate in this pool. Old Man Yun smiled.

"You're going to turn me into a fish?"

Doll smiled and nodded, and walked down the clouds. Soda finished eating the apple and asked, "Do you have anything else to eat?"

"You know how to eat. Doll threw another apple and smashed it on Soda's head.

Soda rubbed her head: "So ungentle." ”

For a long time, soda swam in the water like a fish, and then jumped out of the water to eat some melons and fruits. He is now shirtless and wears a pair of teal pants. Under the water, or standing, sitting, or lying down, crawling.

Old man Yun saw that soda was already like a fish in water, and said with a smile: "Soda, it's better to call you Su Yu'er in the future." ”

Soda asked rhetorically, "Master, how long am I going to stay here?"

"I let you move in the water, one is that the liquid in this water can make you invincible. The second is to practice your water nature. In the future, I will deal with your evil brother Styx, the water ghost, who is proficient in water and is like a fish in the water. Light power has reached the realm of soaring clouds and fog. ”

"And what is his weakness?"

"He stole the ice spirit, but the rain and mist can be turned into ice blades, you have learned the escape technique as a teacher, as long as you study and practice hard, you will definitely be his nemesis in the future." ”

Old Man Yun and Duo'er live in a cave behind the waterfall, and Old Man Yun sometimes goes to deal with affairs outside the valley, so most of the time there are only the two of them in this place.

Soda lay on the water, like on a soft bed, tired and wanted to get a good night's sleep. He was exhausted by the practice these days. At this time, Duo'er came, she sat on the edge of the pool and played in the water barefoot, looking at the sleeping soda, picking up her feet, and splashing the water on the soda's face.

Soda was splashed awake, and he saw Duo'er sitting on the shore, her dark hair covered with a layer of light from the moonlight, and her fair face was reflected more beautifully in the light.

"People are sleeping. ”

"I'm not happy, talk to me about the conversation. ”

"Say it. Soda sat up cross-legged on the water.

"You're so boring. "Doll was leaving, Soda's body was like a fish, and he got into the water and hugged Dora's feet. Duo'er was even more unhappy: "Scoundrel, let go of my feet." ”

"I'm not a scoundrel, and I want to talk to you too. Soda let go of Duo'er's little feet, surfaced, sat on the waterhole and said, "Old man Yun said, I can't leave the waterhole for half a step." What's upset about you?"

"I'm worried about my sister. ”

"Your sister?"

"Her name is Tuya. We have been adopted together since childhood, and we are like brothers and sisters. Not long ago, she and Brother Styx were gone. Probably never coming back. ”

"No, your sister will come back to see you. ”

"You don't know, Brother Styx stole his master's ice spirit. ”

"Let Sister Tuya persuade Brother Styx to send the Ice Spirit back. Old Man Yun will forgive him for the sake of master and apprentice. ”

"Brother Styx is now a wanted criminal. After killing many people, even if Old Man Yun forgave him, he had to pay for his sins. ”

"Doer, I want to ask you?" Soda also had something to say.

"Ask what?"

It was a question from the bottom of Soda's heart: "Duo'er, are you really the wife I paid for?"

"I lied to you. ”

"Are you really lying to me?" Soda was a little disappointed.

Duo'er nodded, expressing guilt.

"I knew you lied to me. Soda smiled bitterly and comforted himself: "Fortunately, when I came, I prepared the silver, rice and noodles, and bacon, and I also raised a sheep." Grandma Wang sent her to my house. I can't go hungry for her. ”

"Your wife would have run away a long time ago if she didn't say it was good. ”

"You are not allowed to say that, but in a few days, I will go back. ”

"If your wife is crooked-mouthed, ugly and lame, will you marry her?"

"No, Grandma Wang said she was so beautiful. ”

"You'll be able to leave here tomorrow, I'll hear what Old Man Yun said. ”

"It's time to get out of this pool. I felt like my skin was numb. Really?"

"Really, Old Man Yun will let you go to my sister and Brother Styx. ”

"Rest assured, I'll bring them back safe and sound. ”

Doll took off the necklace around her neck and put it on the soda belt, the necklace was a bundle of black hair with a piece of malachite tied to it: "I believe in you, this necklace is for you." ”

Soda took the smooth malachite in his hand and looked at it, and suddenly remembered: "You went to Wangjiazhuang that day just to find me?"

Duo'er said: "Old man Yun told me that he has the stupidest stupid disciple, named Soda, and he is going five hundred miles to the east, in Wangjiazhuang, Dawa Town, Cangzhou Prefecture, there is a Su Er butcher shop. Let me bring you. As a result, I went to your butcher's shop, and before I could tell you, I ran into a ghoul and was injured. ”

"Knowing that I'm stupid and stupid, you're looking for me. ”

In the morning, Soda sat on the bottom of the pool, and someone from outside the valley was a man with a wine gourd on his back and a stubble beard. When he entered the valley, he shouted loudly: "Old man Yun, what are you looking for me again?"

Old man Yun stretched out in the fog, and was about to eat pies, and said with a smile: "Yide, I have to trouble you this time." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Cannes composer received a letter asking for his life. ”

"It's Styx again. The drunkard took a sip of wine: "It's a bit of trouble to deal with him." I need a helper, just in case. ”

"There are the right people. Old man Yun smiled, walked over to the pool, and threw pies into the pool: "Soda, wake up?"

The pie hit Soda's head in the water, and it hurt so much that Soda jumped out of the water like a fish and fell to the shore, and he rubbed his head: "Old man, people are still sleeping." ”

"It's time for you to go. ”

"Where to go?"

"Go to Cannes, go with your senior brother. Old man Yun pointed to the drunkard in front of him and said to Soda: "This is my junior brother Bai Yuchan's disciple, that is, your senior brother, Shen Yide." ”

Soda smiled and said, "Hello, senior brother." ”

"I'm not good. The drunken drunkard squinted his eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, some silver for the passage?"

Doll handed the folded clothes to Soda, then attached them to Soda's ear, and whispered, "Remember that you promised me to bring my sister and brother Styx back safe and sound." ”

"Don't worry, Do'er. Soda took the garment, which also had a silver ticket, a few pieces of broken silver, and a waist tag. Soda picked up the waist card and looked at it, with a turtle and snake pattern on the front and the word Xuanwu written on the back. Soda smiled and said: "With so much silver and such a magnificent waist card, it's quite good to walk the rivers and lakes." ”

The drunkard looked at the young man in front of him clearly, shook his head and said, "Don't mother-in-law, let's go." ”

After the old man Yun left, he said to Duo'er: "If I guessed correctly, that day, it was my senior brother, Zhao Yuqing, who hurt you." ”

Duo'er asked: "Old man, the ghost knife in Zhao Yuqing's body is also transformed by relics?"

"The relics knife is made of twenty-four relics, and only when the twenty-four relics are collected can one have a real relics knife. At that time, Su Zhen, the king of the south of the Taizu Town of the Su family, was buried in the knife mound, and the Yuan relics among the twenty-four relics were hidden in the knife mound. Senior Brother Zhao Yuqing must have wanted to take the soda away and take it to the knife mound. ”

"The Yuan Relic is the strongest relic?"

"The Yuan relics are the mother relics of the twenty-four relics, and any one of them will be absorbed by it and become one. ”

"Old man, Soda doesn't have a family heirloom relic in his body, why did you accept him as a disciple?"

"Back then, hunted down and killed the ten evils of Lingnan. I traveled to Wangjiazhuang, drank wine and ate meat at Su Er's place for a while, during which I hunted a rat demon, obtained an earth spirit bead, and taught me the soda escape technique. I didn't expect this parting to be ten years. ”
