Chapter 12: Leaving the Mountain and Visiting the Road
A few new green branches of spring buds, and the spring breeze blows the heaven and earth.
Everything revives and thunders, and the stinging insects raise their heads and awaken their minds.
The chickadee cheered the eagle out of the nest, and the bear stretched out and the snake hissed.
The tiger roars, the ape cries, the jackal howls, and the mountain cattle and wild birds forage for food.
Hu Yang Xiang Deer jumps in the forest, and the mink fox flies and spits silk.
Time flies, winter goes to spring, spring thunder shakes, and everything recovers.
Birds come out of the nest, animals leave the hole, green mountains and valleys, and come back to life.
However, at this time, there were two figures at the foot of the mountain, the figure was extremely fast, and the light flashed under its feet, and it swept from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in an instant, and then swept in the direction where the old locust was.
Before the beasts could come to their senses, the two figures had disappeared.
If they have a little knowledge, they will know, it is the sword light of the sword cultivator.
When the two of them came to the vicinity of the old locust, they found a tree there, hid on it, and squatted on it.
"Senior brother, is this really useful?"
The elder Taoist priest said: "Generally, powerful beasts have a certain sense of territory, although the green snake may have been born with wisdom, but it must also be a person who does not know the height of the sky, and when it sees a strange creature invading the territory, it will naturally come out of the hole to visit one or two." Once it's out, it's easy to do. ”
The two of them hid here, but they didn't know that a bird had already detected them, and they had already asked the mink fox to report to Yu Erqing.
Erqing woke up from hibernation and was saying goodbye to Xiaoqing in the cave.
At this time, Erqing's body length was more than four zhang, and Xiaoqing's body length was more than two zhang.
Although Erqing is a snake, he has human consciousness and wisdom, and knows the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This place was known to those wandering Taoist priests, and if they didn't get rid of him, the other party would definitely not be reconciled. Therefore, he didn't think about going out again at all, and was ready to leave quietly from the dark river.
As soon as Xiaoqing woke up from hibernation, he learned that Erqing was leaving, and at this time he was sadly wrapped around his body, reluctantly spitting out the letter, "Second brother, do you really want to leave? Take me with you!"
As it spoke, it gently rubbed its head against his neck.
Er Qing sighed lightly, "I'm going, life and death can't be decided, how can I take you into danger?" In fact, even if there were no two miscellaneous veterans, I would have already decided to leave and visit the Immortal Dao. It's just that you were young before, and those things happened again, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to cope with it, so I dragged it out until now. ”
"Second brother, when will you come back?"
Xiaoqing was even more reluctant, if the snake had tears, she was estimated to be in tears at this time.
Although Er Qing was also sad, he still endured the sourness in his heart.
After all these years of getting along with her, although she is a snake, he has gradually regarded her as a relative.
It's just that this time, the road is dangerous and unpredictable, how can he bear to let her follow?
Staying in this Daqing Mountain, with the aura in this cave and those strange flowers and plants, as long as there are no accidents, she will live for dozens or hundreds of years, there should be no problem.
If after tens or hundreds of years, they have not died, or they have not achieved anything in their cultivation, then it can only mean that God has destined them to end their fate in this life, and they can only see each other in the next life.
"When will I come back, the second brother doesn't know. ”
Erqing shook his head and sighed lightly, and finally said, "If I really succeed in seeking the Tao, I will definitely come back to pick you up." If there's danger here, you leave, don't wait here, you know?"
"Second brother, I can't bear you!" she choked.
"The second brother is not willing to give up on you, but staying here is not beneficial to you and me. After a pause, he looked up at the crack in the stone and said, "There is a mink fox coming, I will go and see." ”
Not long after, Erqing encountered a sable and a white fox in the crack of the stone.
"Erqing Shijun, those two miscellaneous old ways are here again, you must not go out. White Fox said.
Erqing nodded and said, "White Fox Sable, you go and tell everyone that I will leave this Daqing Mountain today, and I will not come back easily in the future." Xiaoqing will stay and let them not bully Xiaoqing. If I come back then, I will know that Xiaoqing is being bullied, and I will not be able to spare them!"
"Okay, Second Qing Shijun!"
"Goodbye, Second Green Master!"
Erqing quietly watched this mink and a fox leave, and muttered to himself: "Goodbye?" or never again!"
Looking back and turning around, he swam to the cave, and Xiaoqing swam over again.
The head of the second green snake touched it lightly, and said to it: "After I leave, you don't have to teach those birds and beasts of human language anymore, you have nothing to do with them, and it saves them from treating you as the leader, and in the future, they will attract those old ways of wandering." ”
Xiaoqing nodded, the second snake crossed his neck and spit out the letter, and the second green said again: "After I leave, protect yourself, don't go to the human world, don't let humans find you, you know?"
Xiao Qing nodded, and then Er Qing shrank his head slightly, broke out of Xiao Qing's entanglement, and turned around and swam towards the cave where the underground dark river was located.
Xiaoqing hissed and followed him.
Erqing swam to the dark river, looked back and said, "Xiaoqing, take care!"
"Second brother, take care too!" Xiao Qing choked.
Erqing was swimming in the water, and Xiaoqing followed by the river, with a strong sense of reluctance.
It wasn't until Erqing got into the dark river and swam towards the depths of the earth that Xiaoqing lay down his head, and the whole snake seemed to have been sucked off of its bones, and hissed.
The water of the dark river seemed to know Xiaoqing's parting at this time, and he was whimpering.
This farewell, I don't know when we can get together;
This parting, from now on, the ends of the world have flown separately;
This parting, the figure is alone, and it is only pitied;
This part, only to send lovesickness to the moon;
This farewell may already be a farewell.
This time, the mountains and rivers are long;
This time, the sea and the sky leap with the fish;
This time, the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not look back;
This time, there is no regret in nine deaths;
This time, I will not return the immortal oath.
Not long after, on the edge of the surging and sparkling river, a cyan snake head broke through the river surface, and there was a red spot in the middle of the snake head, the red spot opened and closed, and there was a trace of liquid flowing down, I don't know whether it was the river or the tears. Then, he raised his head and roared, and his voice shook the sun.
On the long river, the waves are sparkling, and fish, shrimp, turtles and turtles are jumping around.
In the dense forest, the grass and trees are edged, and the birds are frightened.
On the side of the locust tree, the Taoist priest was stunned, and the sword light suddenly swayed.
It turned out that Erqing's roar had spread from the banks of the Yellow River to the mountains and forests.
Seeing this, the two Taoist priests took up their sword light and swept towards the roar.
Ten miles away, almost instantaneously.
However, when they reached the bank of the Yellow River, they could only see a black shadow, diving into the turbid yellow stream.
Is it down or up?
The two Taoist priests were stunned, and then split into two roads, all the way up and all the way down.
When the two figures disappeared from the river, a snake's head slowly surfaced.
He stared at the green mountain for a long time before diving into the water again, and then swimming upstream.
Legend has it that at the source of this great river, there is a sacred mountain that holds monkeys on it.
Of course, whether it is true or not, Erqing doesn't know, but he wants to confirm it.
This world, I'm coming!
