Chapter 8, The Old Beggar
Half an hour later, Xiao Yunqing led the two women to escape to a river, the river was surging and turbulent, and he had no choice but to look around for boats to cross the river, but not long after, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when the sound of horses' hooves approached, the red cavalry guard had appeared in the dark scene, and a figure was faintly dragging behind one of the horses, and after getting closer, Xiao Yunqing found that it was his father.
After the iron mask approached, he dismounted, untied Xiao Tianxing and dragged him in front of Xiao Yunqing, and at this moment Xiao Yunqing found that his father had died of anger. He put down his mother and rushed up to hug his father's corpse, crying and crying. The iron mask took off his mask and said coldly: "This scar was done by your father back then. Xiao Yunqing looked up, and there was a deep mark on the man's face, but it didn't look like it was injured by a sharp weapon. Although this person is middle-aged, his face is handsome, and his facial features are like carved by heaven, but unfortunately his face was split in half by the abrupt scar.
Iron Mask walked up to the two women and said, "I don't want to kill you, hand over the Heavenly Seal Stone and let you go." As soon as she finished speaking, the Hui Ying pounced on the general and bit Tie Mian's neck fiercely, and Iron Mian consciously grabbed her arm fiercely, and blood immediately flowed down her arm. Seeing this, my sister also rushed up, but was blocked back by the iron mask. At this time, the blood on the neck of the iron mask flowed. Seeing this, the others hurriedly dismounted to help, and finally pulled the woman away, but saw that a piece of Iron Mask's neck was pulled off. Tie Mian hurriedly realized the wound, walked to Xiao Yunqing's side viciously, and hit Xiao Yunqing's heavenly spirit cover with one palm, Xiao Yunqing fell to the ground on the spot, and Shu Ying saw that Xiao Yunqing was killed, staggered to Xiao Yunqing's side, and kept sobbing. At this time, Lin also woke up slowly, but when he saw that his husband and son were both killed, he didn't cry at all, but slowly hugged his husband and son, and said something in his mouth.
I want to know you,
Longevity.
Mountains without tombs,
The river is exhausted,
winter thunder and earthquake,
summer rain and snow,
Heaven and earth are combined,
Dare to be with the king
At this time, Lin suddenly said to Huiying: "Help me take care of Yuebai." After all, he dragged two corpses into the rushing river. When Shu Ying saw Xiao Yunqing entering the water, she suddenly ran to the river like crazy and jumped down. Seeing that her sister also jumped into the water, her sister immediately burst into tears.
Seeing the four of them entering the water, the Red Cavalry Guard stood there in a daze, without making any move for a long time. The lieutenant suddenly walked to the river and gave a deep salute. He looked back at the remaining women of the Yang family and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"You fuck off. Hui Ying scolded.
Captain Xi Ziyan actually said fiercely: "I remember you, let you live today, and don't let us meet you again in the future." ”
After saying that, the six men crossed their horses and disappeared into the vast night, leaving only the turbulent river and the weeping warbler between the ethereal......
The drizzle finally stopped after a few days, and the sun peeked out. The earth has finally come out of its wet haze. Butterflies float freely in the breeze across the field, where a small river rushes through it. Looking along the path of butterflies, a man and a woman are walking along the river, and they have been walking along the river for half a month. Looking in the direction they were walking, a young couple with their children was working in the fields not far away. The husband picks the soil, the wife grows beans, and the shadow follows each other very affectionately, and the child sings a newly-learned nursery rhyme while chasing the fluttering butterflies on the ridges of the field on the side.
At this time, through the sound of children's singing, the pair of men and women walking along the riverbank gradually approached. The man's face was haggard and a little thin, and the woman's eyes were tough but a little tired. All the way, the man always followed the woman one step behind, without leaping half a step or too far away. After a while, the child's singing gradually drew closer to them, and at last the two of them could hear the child's singing.
Those two are Xiao Yuebai and Hui Ying, and during this time, the two have been searching along the river where their families died, trying to find the bodies of their families, but they have found nothing, but the two still insist. At this moment, they passed by this field, and the child's singing voice became clearer and clearer, Xiao Yuebai was a person who had read poetry and books and recognized this as a poem imitating the style of ancient Chu words, but he didn't know that this poem had anything to do with him. But Na Huiying is very familiar, this is exactly what the crazy beggar in Natan Prefecture is singing.
“...... Heaven seals the stone, the stone seals the sky......" The child's singing voice came again.
Hui Ying, who had been silent all the way, suddenly stopped, and Xiao Yuebai, who was following behind her, also suddenly stood up. Xiao Yuebai asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Did you hear what the kid was singing?" asked Huiying.
Xiao Yuebai has an excellent memory since she was a child, and immediately sealed this poem in the sky.
Stone seals the sky.
The soul returns
Be a god
Don't live or die
Longevity is boundless. ”
。 ”
I saw that the wisdom of the warbler's eyebrows became brighter. She said, "He's around here!"
Xiao Yuebai was puzzled and asked, "Who!"
Hui Ying didn't answer, just pulled Xiao Yuebai and walked towards the child.
"Child, where did you learn this nursery rhyme?" asked Hui Ying as she walked up to the child. The boy was happily playing with the butterflies, when he suddenly saw a stranger who was fierce at him, and he would have answered, but he shuddered in his heart and began to cry. When the child's parents saw it, they thought that the little girl in front of them had bullied their children, so they ran over angrily and accused Huiying. Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai hurriedly stepped forward to make an apology. When the couple saw that the man had a handsome face and a kind speech, they did not embarrass them. Xiao Yuebai then asked, "May I ask where Ling Gongzi learned this nursery rhyme?" The woman replied with an embarrassed face: "I learned it from the old beggar at the entrance of the village." ”
Hui Ying suddenly asked excitedly, "The old beggar is in your village?"
The woman replied, "He is gone." ”
"Gone?" Hui Ying asked in astonishment, "When did you leave, and where is your village?"
"A few days ago, all of a sudden, it was gone...... Well, our village is right in front of the foot of the mountain. ”
Not far from the field where the couple was working was a large mountain that separated the world from the outside world, and at the foot of the mountain lived forty or fifty families of farmers who had been farming for generations. It was the small village where the husband and wife lived.
According to the locals, the village used to always make bandits, since 26 years came to a master named Yang Mingzi, the bandits were eliminated, but in a few years, there was a war here, and it was also the master who eliminated the soldiers, and it was more than 20 years since now. Although sometimes some officials come here harshly, there has never been a disaster or famine, and it is peaceful. Because it was so peaceful, people naturally had less fresh and interesting talk in their mouths. But recently, something new happened in the village: a crazy old beggar came to the village, and what was even more interesting was that the old beggar actually killed a tiger.
Half a month ago, all the children in this village suddenly learned to sing nursery rhymes, which made these simple villagers extremely frightened. There must be a rumor before the big change. At this moment, there was a sudden roar from the mountain behind the village, which had not been in trouble for several generations, and then several villagers who had gone up the mountain to collect medicine never returned. At this moment, the whole village became panicked. Some villagers went to a nearby town to find a few Taoist priests and hunters to go into the mountains to drive away the demons, but they only saw them go in but did not come out. It wasn't long before the villagers found a beggar in a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village.
