Chapter 6: Gratitude and Kindness
Erqing came to the big green mountain, found a big tree by the broken temple and hung it on the branch, so he stayed, and then quietly waited for the rough man to send Xiaoqing up the mountain.
According to some estimates, Xiaoqing's current body size should not be too small, and I think that the rough man should also be able to change to a snake to play with.
However, Er Qing didn't go to find a snake for that rough man, after all, without him to teach him, Xiao Qing might not be able to have the current spirituality, let alone other snakes.
remembered that the rough man treated him like a parent, and he felt that he should repay him with something. So he opened his third eye and looked up the mountain.
I saw that the surroundings were full of green energy, vertical and horizontal like a net, which was the vigorous atmosphere of the grass and trees.
In a short time, he found a few rays of multicolored light in the green qi, so he went down from the tree again and swam towards the place of the multicolored light.
These days, when he is looking for medicine in the mountains, he uses this method.
The only thing that gave him a little headache was that there would be some fierce beasts entrenched next to some treasure medicines with relatively high age limits, and those fierce beasts did not eat grass, because they had never thought of eating those things, and those herbivorous beasts did not dare to go to those treasure medicines easily.
In fact, Er Qing also found that those treasure pills with relatively high age will naturally swallow the essence of heaven and earth, and those beasts that stay next to the treasure medicine and settle down, under the nourishment of this essence of heaven and earth, they will be larger than usual. He thought, maybe this is why the legend says, next to those heavenly treasures, there are fierce beasts guarding them!
The beast uses this to strengthen itself, and the treasure medicine seeks its refuge, which can be regarded as taking what they need.
As for some of the ones that are not old, it may be because the amount of heaven and earth essence qi is small, and there are generally few fierce beasts guarding them, and this is the goal of Erqing.
All the way around, he came by taking these precious medicines.
Not long after, Erqing found the place where the colorful gas lingered, only to see a green plant in the wind, planted in branches, a few green leaves at the end of the branch, there are several strings of buds on the top to be released, wisps of colorful gas coiled on it, that is the essence of heaven and earth, but also the aura of heaven and earth.
Although Erqing's knowledge of herbal medicine is very limited, he also recognizes that this is a wild ginseng.
The age is not expected to be very high, but for ordinary people, the efficacy of the drug must not be bad.
Erqing cocked the snake's tail, used it as a shovel, and began to dig ginseng.
His tail began to be exercised when he was young, and over the years, he naturally practiced more strength and dexterity than other snakes. However, as a snake, no matter how dexterous it is, it can't compare to human hands. When digging ginseng, it is naturally impossible to be as meticulous and careful as humans.
Dig up the mountain ginseng, roll it up with its tail, and then drag it back to the temple to hide it, and then go up the tree.
I don't know where this temple is, it has long been dilapidated, and there is no god in it, but it is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Just smelled the smell of Erqing, and those snakes, insects, rats and ants also fled early.
Soon, the sun sets, and the tired birds return to their nests, chirping, chirping, and not making noise.
I also saw the smoke curling under the mountain, and there was a faint sound of chickens and dogs barking.
Erqing circled up the tree pole and hovered on the top of the tree.
Welcome the gentle mountain breeze and look at the sunset. I feel how beautiful the time is, and sigh that it is not easy to live a snake.
When night fell, the silver moon rose into the sky, Erqing opened his third eye, and what entered his eyes was the silk crisscrossing color, as well as the silver moonlight that fell like light and rain.
Erqing opened the snake's mouth, took a sharp breath, inhaled those moonlight points mixed in the air into his body, and used his consciousness to capture these light spots.
After a few days, he had gradually gained a little experience, and only after these moonlight spots were caught by him did he exhale and exhale the turbid qi held in his body.
Then repeat, inhale, exhale.
He didn't know if this was the stupidest way to breathe, he only felt that these moons were very good for his body, and he felt that his body was stronger and his mind was clearer.
This was repeated until dawn, the sun rose in the east, and the purple qi came from the east, and Er Qing inhaled the purple qi into his abdomen, and then also used his consciousness to capture it.
When this purple qi dissipated in the hot sun, Er Qing stopped his 'spitting' homework this night.
Then he circled down, hid in the shade of the tree, and continued to wait silently, looking for some fruit or herbs to eat when he was hungry, and drinking some morning dew when he was thirsty.
Although it has not reached the realm of dining and drinking, it can be regarded as self-cultivation.
It's just that after a long time, it is inevitable that some pedestrians who go up the mountain will see it, and then there will be long insects infesting the mountain under the mountain, and people who go up the mountain are advised to be careful of Yunyun.
Hearing this rumor, the snake charmer who was training the new snake was surprised in his heart, thought about it, and caught Xiaoqing into the bamboo basket in the early morning of the next day, and said: "The long insect on the mountain that people say, I don't know if it is Erqing. Now that you have grown up, you are no longer suitable for juggling, go back to the mountains! Today I will send you up the mountain, if the long worm is Erqing, it will definitely come to pick you up. If not, persuade it to go deep into the mountains, and not to frighten people on the road, lest it be beaten and killed and stewed into snake soup. ”
Xiaoqing nodded the snake's head, expecting and apprehension in her heart.
The rough man took the bamboo basket on his back, went out of the village, and went up the mountain, and when he reached the ruined temple, he suddenly saw a rustling sound on the tree in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw a long cyan insect hovering down on the tree.
The rough man was horrified, turned and ran.
Erqing was stunned, turned around and got into the grass, rolled up the old ginseng from the grass, and chased after the rough man. The rough man ran in the mountain path, and the two greens swam in the grass.
The rough man looked back, but when he saw the place where the long worm passed behind him, the grass and trees were divided, and he was so frightened that his three souls flew two souls, and he shouted in his mouth: "I have been a snake for half my life, and now I will die in Shekou?
When he looked back at the sky and shouted, and when he opened his eyes again, Erqing had already crossed in front of him, holding his head high and spitting out a letter.
The rough man was startled, paused, and then sat on the ground with his butt and rubbed his legs and retreated.
Erqing was speechless, and the probe showed the red spot that had turned into a third eye in front of him.
When the third eye is closed, the red spot appears spontaneously, and when it is opened, it is the eye.
When the rough man saw this red spot, his heart was relieved, and it was known to be Erqing. But I was shocked, I hadn't seen each other for two years, but I didn't want Erqing to have grown into such a situation. Sure enough, the mountains are where they belong?
Erqing didn't know what the rough man was thinking, if he knew, he would have shouted: I'd rather live that meal to open his mouth to the house-bred snake!
One snake and one person, staring at each other.
After a long time, Er Qing rolled the mountain ginseng behind him in front of the rough man, and when the rough man saw his sincerity, he couldn't help but wipe his tears, and scolded with a smile: "You brute, you still know how to repay kindness, it's unusual!"
Then he turned around and released the bamboo basket Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing is now more than six feet, and as soon as he got out of the basket, he quickly swam to Erqing's side. The two snakes probed the prime minister, and the snake letter spit lightly, as if they were telling each other goodbye.
Seeing this, the rough man waved his sleeves and sighed lightly, "Go, go, go, don't be scary on this road, go to the hidden big valley, if he is a divine dragon in the future, it will not be in vain for me to save you in Weimo!"
