Volume 1 The moon is as yellow as day Chapter 44 Looking for something, words are sparse
Since the four brothers received the will of the White Fox King to find the carp that had been cultivated for a hundred years, they were naturally justified all the way, not to mention the rampage of the realm they crossed, at least for those little demons who could not be hidden.
Although the four demons have almost a hundred years of cultivation, and they have to meet the human form of the master to guide them, but the general strength is stronger than ordinary people except for the physical body, and the divine channel method is naturally insufficient compared to the big demons who have cultivated to five hundred years or even a thousand years, and they have naturally encountered a lot of trouble when they are so reckless along the way. Especially when the four demons passed through a slightly open river valley, they saw a four-hundred-year-old monster who was quite interested in holding a pot of wine and tasting the scenery, but unexpectedly, the four demons at the root of the tree rushed all the way and knocked off the wine jug in his hand, not to mention, it ruined the interest of this monster.
The youkai was so enraged that he stood up and tried to grab the leaves that had struck him. But the leaves are also hot-tempered. Not to mention the oppression of the old demon for the seven hundred years of cultivation, now that he has received the decree of the White Fox King, it is like giving himself a gold medal to avoid death, not only his attitude is very bad, but he is also extremely rude, completely like you can't get used to me and dare not beat me.
The seven orifices of the monster qi smoked, and in the end, he endured this breath because of the prestige of the White Fox King. But he also put down his words, if he didn't peel his skin and cramp when he encountered the leaves one day, it would also make him pay for today's words and deeds. After hearing this, the leaves still looked like they were hanging, neither afraid nor afraid. After the four hundred years of cultivation of the monsters endured and left, the group of four demons searched again.
The four demons waited for the monster to gradually move away, but they moved forward at a rapid speed, and the sun was slanting westward, and the roots of the tree stopped their pace. He looked at the leaves with a little worry and some annoyance and said, "Leaves! Although he has received the command of the White Fox King now, he can pretend to be a tiger, and spit out some depression that he usually thinks about but does not dare to express." But now that you have offended the monsters along the way, if one day the White Fox King forgets the pain of the four brothers who are looking for us today, then you say that without the power of the king's deterrence, you will have formed so many beams today, but what will you do?"
After hearing this, he looked at the three demons of the roots with a fearless expression. The leaves said in an indifferent tone: "Look at this dense jungle, there are thousands of kinds of animal races, not to mention the many things that are born and grown, as vast as mud and sand, and there are thousands of things living in it. Since the births are rich and rich, they will inevitably collide, quarrels, killings, and hatred. He paused, then added.
"Since there are people who die every day, but there are also people who come back to life every day, who knows that they will live today, and who knows that they will die today. After the leaves finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and lowered his head with a sad face. Looking at the grass swaying gently in the wind under his feet, his eyes were full of desolation and sorrow. After listening to the words of the leaves, the three demons of the tree root didn't know how to answer and comfort for a while, and after a while, the root said angrily: "Go, go, let's find the old carp first to explain the task given by the white fox king!" After speaking, he took the lead in opening the way.
The three demons of the branch saw that the root of the tree was negative and went first, lest he make a mistake, and the three demons followed suit. When the four demons walked for a long time, they walked straight to the west, turning around the secluded forest, but there was still no trace of people around. Only occasionally can I hear the twilight chirping of insects and birds, and other than that, there are no human footprints to be seen. The roots of the tree looked at the surrounding fields, seeing that the sun was sinking and the mountains were about to disappear, he thought in his heart that looking for the old carp in the remote realm of the secluded forest was tantamount to looking for a needle in the sea, not to mention that he would return to the White Fox King today, and he was afraid that the White Fox King would not be able to slow down the deadline for a few days.
He pondered for a moment, raised his arm slightly, shook his head, and said, "It is not a solution to continue to search like this. It's okay that everything is dormant during the day now, but if you wait until late at night, not to mention ordinary beasts, even those little demons who have not been able to transform for more than a hundred years will come out of the hole to forage for food. At that time, although we have received the words of the White Fox King, I am afraid that we will encounter those tigers and leopards that have not yet opened their wisdom, and under the entanglement, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen dangers. How can you live like this?" said the tree root, his face full of sorrow.
The three demons of the branches, bark, and leaves were silent when they heard these words. They each thought in their hearts and muttered that this was indeed reasonable, but in the vast Lin Hai only to find a name, how easy it was, the four demons could only sit together for a moment to discuss a countermeasure.
Besides, the young man's cough interrupted the old man's words, and the old man's face naturally showed displeasure. He coughed lightly and said, "If you didn't help me before, forget it, but now why are you interrupting me to praise the girl for her wonderful use of the bell" He didn't wait for the young man to answer, looked at the girl with slightly closed eyes and said: "You don't put the little old man in my eyes, it doesn't matter." But my girl is here, and if you behave like this, where will you put the girl?" the old man said, his expression was quite gloating. When the girl opened her slightly closed eyes, he looked at the young man again, quite awe-inspiring.
Zhao Qingrou asked in a daze: "Are you finished?" The old man nodded and ran to the girl's feet, and said with a smile: "It's over, it's over!" girl, this kid actually ignored the girl's words, he ......" The old man was about to speak, but Zhao Qingrou said softly, but interrupted his words and turned to look at the young man.
Li Zhiyu saw Zhao Qingrou looking at him, and he said, "Miss Zhao, it's getting late at the moment, and if you continue to stay in such a deep forest, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable dangers. I look at the landscape here, but the vacant meadow on the west side has no big trees and deep grass, and I wonder how about camping and resting there tonight?"
The young man's tone was inquiring, but he walked towards the steed. Looking at its situation, it seems that it has decided on the camping place alone. When the old man saw Li Zhiyu's behavior, he glanced at the girl and hurriedly shouted, "That kid." My master has not spoken, and you have walked alone. You must know that my master has thousands of precious talismans in his hands, if you don't have her protection and protection, you are not giving your life in vain. The old man said angrily, and then he jumped to his feet and scolded as if he couldn't get enough of it.
Besides, the four demons of the root brothers searched all the way, although they made a lot of detours along the way and searched for a fairly wide area, but the four demons still did not find the slightest trace of the old carp. When they were walking to the deep woods in the east to search further, I don't know whether the speaker had the intention or the listener's intention, but the four brothers happened to hear the old carp jumping to his feet and scolding.
The four brothers heard the sound, looked at each other, and stopped in unison. When the bark stepped out first, his feet moved, and he was about to enter the deep place to search and watch, but the root of the tree stretched out a strong arm and grabbed the long vine hanging from the bark around his neck and pulled him back.
"Roots, what do you mean, now there is a sound in the dense forest, and besides, it is quite old to hear its voice, but it is not the old carp. If we quietly approach at this moment and grab it, won't we be able to respond to what the old demon often says about surprise and unprepared?" said Bark angrily, and he rushed a few steps faster, but the roots of the tree pulled him back again.
"Bark, think about why the three of us are chasing after us. Now I accidentally heard his voice here, you don't think it's strange. Tree Root said.
"Strange, weird. The damn old demon asked the four of my brothers to come out and get people. Not to mention his appearance, posture, body shape, color, or geographical location, he clearly made it difficult for the four of us, so that he took the opportunity to swallow the four of us to cultivate the truth. The three brothers also knew that twenty years ago, the old man could recite a scripture in the shade of our four brothers. But now that it's good, since the traces of the old carp have been found, isn't it just in line with what the White Fox King always says-I can't find its traces, and I have no intention of getting the river sand gold. Bark replied.
The branch said, "I forgot the bark." When I first opened my senses, I only heard the old fairy say that everything has its own rules and makes sense. From the vast wilderness to the grass and trees, they are all born and died by the way. If there are six senses that are opened, the six senses of the pass, whether it is Da Luo Jin Xian or Buddhism Bodhisattva, will have a place. ”
"Yes, yes!" replied the leaf, "I was in the middle of a nearby orion and had a branch cut off, and it hurt terribly. But after listening to the scripture recited by the old fairy, not only did he not feel pain, but he was full of transparency. I only saw a tall building standing above the nine heavens, and there was a fairy scattering flowers on it, and the boy holding the festival. Leaves interjected, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the gloomy sky again, and there was a little yearning and remembrance in his eyes.
"Leaf, do you think the old fairy is still here?" asked Twig.
"I don't know. Like the old gods, where can you not go, where you can't swim. How can it be like me being imprisoned among the trees, and it is difficult to have a home. When the leaves thought of this, there was a touch of sadness and yearning in their eyes. At this moment, for some reason, I miss the old fairy who only has one side. He didn't know that Zhao Qingfeng had climbed to the second floor of Fengxiantai under the four brothers.
At that time, Zhao Qingfeng also said: "One shades the sun, one blocks the rain, one is ruyi, and one is round." That's it!"
The world is safe and perfect, so the sun and rain are worry-free;
In the depths of the place, the old man still scolded non-stop. He seemed to be afraid that his voice was too low, he raised his head and screamed desperately in his throat, not to mention the bruises on his face, at least his face was red and his neck was thick. Just based on his tone at the moment, not to mention the distance of 100 meters around, even if it is a radius of ten miles, if someone with a heart is afraid, he can hear it.
When the boy saw this, he neither dissuaded nor stopped, as if he had long been surprised by this. He was still busy with the things in hand, only occasionally looking up at the yelling old man. After a long time, the boy had torn off many flowers and trees on the high slope, and when the sun had completely sunk to the horizon, he finally cleared a clearing.
The young man hissed and wiped the beads of sweat from his sideburns. Then he picked up a lot of dead branches and broken grass and gathered them together, and when the branches and grass were raised like a small mound, the young man stopped and sat and looked at the stars in the sky.
After resting for a while, Li Zhiyu looked at Zhao Qingrou, who was squatting next to the old man and was drowsy, and the young man walked over and asked softly, "Zhao Qingrou, are you hungry?"
The girl looked up, and saw that the young man's face was stuck with a lot of dirt that carried dead branches and trees, and she did not answer, but laughed and said, "Little flower cat!"
Li Zhiyu was slightly stunned, reached out and wiped the wet mud on his face. After he wiped his cheeks a few times, the girl looked at the old man who was still chattering, and said, "After a few days, I am naturally hungry when I sleep in the open air." But I ...... now," the girl said, and stood up and walked over to the little old man, and scratched the sleeve of his coat woven from the flowers of the mountains.
The old man naturally didn't know what was going on, at this moment he was talking about how his journey was difficult and difficult, how he escaped the black fish that had been cultivated for four hundred years, and how he fell into the hands of the White Fox King. said that his eyes were shining, and his clothes were wet. Every time he said something sad and indignant, he stretched out his snow-white arm to wipe the corners of his eyes, wiping away the few tears he had tried to squeeze out. When he was stretching out his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Zhao Qingrou who was coming to him, his heart was pounding, and he only said bad in his heart. When he wanted to retreat and find an opportunity to escape, he touched the rope with the baby's arm thickness around his waist, and just scolded the white fox in his heart.
"Are you a demon?" the girl asked.
The old man changed his previous excited and irritable look, he hesitated for a long time, and when he saw the little girl reach out to touch the demon bell on his wrist again. Cai hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm a demon, I'm a demon." But little girl, I want to tell you that monsters are also good and bad, good and evil. You see me so sanctimonious......"
"No, no, little girl, look at me, how can a kind and compassionate person like me be sanctimonious, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue!" he paused and said: "In this world, the demons are different, and the people are divided into high and low. In fact, I sometimes think that there is not much difference between humans and demons. When the girl heard this, she was silent, touching the brass bell on her wrist as if she was thinking.
When the young man saw the two talking and talking, he naturally couldn't be disturbed. Seeing that the night was getting dark, he went straight to the high slope, and by the faint light in front of him, he found a few slightly sharp branches from the dead wood and branches he had picked up. After holding it in his hand for a long time, the young man took these two harpoons and ran beside Zhao Qingrou.
The boy held a larger harpoon in his right hand, and handed the smaller one to the girl. Zhao Qingrou saw that the young man reached out and handed over a harpoon, she smiled slightly, and grabbed the harpoon in her hand. Due to the location, the harpoon was aimed at the old man who was chattering at the moment.
The old man looked stunned, and his stubby arms tightly hugged the sparse bald head and quickly stepped back. "You, what are you going to do? Tell you, I'm not afraid of this thing, huh, not afraid!" The old man said in a panic, and after he finished speaking, he walked forward again, quite determined to die on the battlefield. Zhao Qingrou looked at the old man like this, she was a little confused, she had already put away the demon bell, why was he like this.
