Text: The sky is falling
"If my mother is forever separated from the three poisons and the lowly and even the body of a woman, she will not be subject to eternal calamity. May I vow to save all the hells in the world and all the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms in the hundreds of billions of eons after today. Leave hell, evil tastes, beasts, hungry ghosts, etc. If you are retribution for your sins, you will become a Buddha, and then I will become enlightened. ------ "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra".
On the foothills of the Snake Ridge, the blood under the body of a demon tiger mixed with intestines and internal organs continued to flow to the ground, and finally after a whimper, it fell to the ground, and its vitality was completely cut off, covering its whole body with black armor, amazingly long fangs and sharp horns on the top of its head turned into bursts of black gas, disappeared into the air, and its body gradually shrank, and after a while, a normal-sized colorful tiger appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, but this time it was just a tiger corpse.
Seeing that the tiger demon had been removed, the green sac that had already stopped crawling, was finally able to concentrate on suppressing the heat around the body, a panacea pill went down to the stomach, and the flesh and skin of the whole body grew again, and the newborn flesh was as clean and flawless as a newborn baby, if a woman saw such a skin, she would inevitably feel jealous.
Qing Bao slowly walked to Shi Gaoyuan's side and fed him a pill to take, but it was different from the pill he was taking, this time it was just an ordinary injury medicine that strengthened Peiyuan. The elixir is hard to find, not to mention that the injuries of Shi Gaoyuan and the others do not need such an elixir to heal, one ordinary wound medicine is enough.
Immediately afterward, the wound medicine was distributed to several attendants. After several people took it, they slowly sat up cross-legged, mobilized their internal force, and completely healed the injury.
Shi Gaoyuan felt that his body was full of strength again, so he slowly got up, picked up his personal saber, looked at the tiger that fell in a pool of blood, and suddenly cut off its head with a knife, then picked up the head, walked to the edge of the cliff, threw the tiger's head down, took out the wine bag on his waist, opened the lid, and after taking a sip, he knelt down on one knee and spilled the liquor into the abyss.
"Little brother, today you sacrificed your life to die, generous and righteous, worthy of the name of a young hero, I have sent you the tiger head you killed, I hope you can become a real warrior who kills tigers and bears with bare hands in the next life!"
Shi Gaoyuan's expression was sad, and he worshipped each other from afar near the abyss. Several black-clothed attendants behind him also followed, bowed their hands, and said in unison: "Help, unforgettable!"
If there was no Tang Xiao's appearance, several of them would have died in the mouth of the tiger, and they felt very sorry for Tang Xiao, a young man who dared to fight the tiger demon at a young age.
After worshipping, Shi Gaoyuan got up, straightened his clothes, patted off the dust on his body, and said to everyone behind him: "The tiger demon has been removed, go and call the villagers up to continue the journey."
Hearing this, several attendants got up one after another and led the order to go down the mountain.
The breeze blew slightly over the hill, and Shi Gaoyuan found a mound alone and hid the injured and dying attendant with his own hands, and felt the same pity for this brother who followed him from birth to death.
After the worship again, he sat cross-legged on a boulder on the edge of the cliff with Qing Nang, relatively silent, just quietly waiting for the arrival of the villagers, and trying his best to recover from his injuries.
Although it is close to the top of the mountain, but the road ahead is still far away, the road ahead is still very dangerous, this time there is a tiger demon, and the next time there will be any unpredictable mountain spirit monsters, everyone has no bottom in their hearts, only to keep themselves in the most peak state, can they have more confidence in their hearts.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the villagers who originally encountered the tiger demon and rushed down the mountain finally came here again after an hour, and saw that the tiger demon was removed, and everyone was happy and happy.
Looking at the excited crowd, Qing Sang couldn't be happy, and his eyes revealed confusion, "I don't know when this bumpy road will come to an end." ”
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Tang Xiao! Tang Xiao, has anyone seen Tang Xiao?"
While the people were cheering, an old voice sounded in the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that it was the old village chief who was looking for Tang Xiao in the crowd with a cane.
But when the anxious eyes of the old village chief looked at the villagers with an inquiring meaning, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
The village chief continued to walk forward, all the way, calling Tang Xiao's name all the way, like an old father calling his child who had left home.
On the edge of the cliff, Shi Gaoyuan heard the shout of the village chief, and once again showed a bitter face, jumped off the boulder, and hurriedly caught up with the village chief.
"Village Chief, are you looking for a young man in a sackcloth robe?" Shi Gaoyuan asked.
"Exactly, exactly, General Shi, do you know where this little rabbit has gone?", hearing that Shi Gaoyuan seemed to know Tang Xiao's whereabouts, he quickly grabbed Shi Gaoyuan's wrist and asked eagerly.
Shi Gaoyuan looked at the anxious old man in front of him, his eyes seemed to dodge, and then he slowly shook his head and said.
"He's a good boy, it's he who killed the tiger demon and saved everyone's lives"
"What about the others!?" The village chief directly ignored Tang Xiao's sentence that he had saved everyone, and asked about Tang Xiao's whereabouts.
But such a strong martial artist as Shi Gaoyuan didn't care at the moment.
He didn't directly answer the village chief's question, just looked at the place where Tang Xiao fell off the cliff sadly, and was silent.
"What!", the village chief finally understood what was going on, and for a while he only felt that the blood in his whole body was surging towards his head, and his feet were weak, and he staggered and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Shi Gaoyuan saw that the village chief's expression was wrong, his eyes were quick, and he stepped forward in three or two steps to support the village chief, so as not to cause another tragedy.
Quickly helped the old village chief to sit on the stones on the side of the road to rest, and pressed his human acupoint with his right hand, so that the village chief who was deeply hit would not faint.
After half a ring, the old village chief gradually recovered, and the whole person sat on the ground like a deflated ball, with bloodshot eyes, flashing with a little crystal tears, and the grief was indescribable.
Tang Xiao has only been in the village for six years, but he is hardworking and enthusiastic, the village chief loves him very much, and his children left his hometown to join the army, in such a troubled world, life and death are already uncertain, and he has already treated Tang Xiao as his own son.
When the villagers heard the news, everyone fell into a sad mood, and the women of the village couldn't bear it anymore and wept bitterly.
"What a good child, how can you say that if you don't have it, it's gone, didn't you say that you will go to a new village and eat meat at home?", Uncle Li at the entrance of the village took out a stack of paper money from his baggage and came to the edge of the cliff, tearing it and chattering at the same time. His legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has received a lot of help from Tang Xiao on weekdays, and he often asks Tang Xiao to come over to fight together when the village divides meat, and the relationship between the two is very close. This time all the way south, the road is far away and there are high mountains and mountains, I am afraid that the old father will not be able to stay up, I was just in case of paper money, but I didn't expect to use it on Tang Xiao first, and I couldn't cry at once.
The rest of the villagers also came to worship, praying that Tang Xiao would join a rich family in the next life, and no longer worry about the wind of eating and sleeping in the open.
But now is different from the past, the road that should be taken after the grief is still to continue to walk, but the crowd is obviously silent a lot, and everyone supports each other to continue on the road.
The silent mountains, the silent crowds, finally reached the top of the mountain towering above the clouds before the scorching sun reached the top.
Ascending and looking, the clouds are surrounded by the feet, and in the distance are the beautiful green mountains one after another, as if you can catch the sun with a stretch of hand, which makes people feel proud and excited, and the sad mood can't help but be reduced a little.
But suddenly, the ground shook violently, as if the whole mountain was shaking, and the rocks continued to roll down the cliff, and for a while the crowd ran in all directions, and the scene became chaotic.
"Earth dragon turn over?!Everyone go to the clearing on the side of the mountain and hide!" Shi Gaoyuan shouted loudly, guiding the chaotic crowd to a safe direction.
"What are you still doing here stupidly, hurry up and hide!" Shi Gao saw that Qing Bao was still standing in place, without the slightest intention of hiding, and hurriedly reminded him.
As if he couldn't hear it, he still didn't move half a step.
Not far from the side where he was standing, the gossip plate that should have been cherished by him was thrown to the ground at will.
Qing Nang just looked up at the sky, as a monk, his eyebrows and eyes were full of despair at the moment, and he muttered with a blank expression: "I can't escape, the sky is falling!"
Shi Gao was far from knowing why, and looked at Qing Nan's gaze.
The original sky has disappeared, and the whole mountain is like a creeping giant beast, but at this moment, it suddenly awakens, the whole mountain is so huge, just the head is raised to cover the sky, and the scale armor on the abdomen shines in the sun with the twisting of the body.
Suddenly, Shi Gaoyuan, who saw this scene, fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, what was he leading the villagers to work so hard for! Under the anger, the originally healed injury actually flared up again, but there was no need to care about this injury.
I saw blood flowing from the corner of Shi Gaoyuan's mouth, and once again took out the wine bag on his waist, trembling and drinking the last sip of strong wine in his life. I can't help but think of a sentence that the Heavenly Master of Xizi Kingdom once said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs!"
