Chapter 10: Strong Onlookers
Summer goes to autumn, and the grass and trees gradually look sluggish.
The farmer under the mountain danced the sickle, smiling and busy.
The beasts on the mountain searched for it, and hurriedly hid the grain.
Erqingpan is on that old locust plant, and it hasn't come down for several days.
Swallow the moon at night, eat purple glow in the morning, and drink dew in the morning. Spend the night in the treetops, and worship the birds and beasts. On this kind of day, he wants to see how long he can last.
Soon, however, winter was approaching again, and the whole snake's bones became a little stiffer, and it became even more reluctant to move. But in the end, he still had to move, and found a few treasure herbs containing the essence of heaven and earth to swallow.
On this day, Erqing, who had swallowed a few strains of treasure medicine, retracted back into the cave and went into hibernation.
The beasts on the mountain also scattered in all directions, the sky was getting darker, and flakes of snow were gently falling.
The sky is snowing, and the birds and animals are returning to their nests, ready to wait for the snow to pass before going out to feed.
However, at this time, at the foot of Daqing Mountain, there were two Taoist priests wearing blue Taoist robes, holding Taoist buns, pedaling black cloth shoes, and carrying long swords on their backs, riding horses towards the village.
Depending on how he dressed, he was no ordinary Taoist priest.
At the entrance of the village, two Taoist priests Le Ma Tijiang, one of them was younger, looking to be in his twenties, and said: "Senior brother, I will stay here for a night, and then go up the mountain when the snow stops tomorrow!"
The elder Taoist priest nodded and said, "Okay, just ask someone if there are people in this village who have seen the beasts on the mountain gradually become human, and it is best not to have any monsters!"
"Senior brother said with a smile, I'm waiting for the southern Ganbu Prefecture and not the northern Luzhou, so there are so many monsters?
"Hehe, you kid, don't think too much about this world!" The senior brother stroked his beard, shook his head, and said no more.
The two came to the village and found a family to live in.
When the two Taoist priests and the villagers asked about this, many villagers said that when they went up the mountain this year, they were not very afraid of life when they encountered those wild beasts, and they were even quite humane.
Then someone said that the snake charmer surnamed Cen in their village had a green snake at the beginning, and the green snake was more humane, but it had been released back to the mountains by the snake charmer for several years.
Two years ago, when the snake charmer surnamed Cen went up the mountain to release another snake, he also saw the original snake, and it turned out that the snake was not only here to pick up the small one, but also picked a ginseng for him.
Now the snake charmer still has that mountain ginseng hidden in his house! There were thieves who came to steal it before, but he was bitten by two snakes he had trained, and no one dared to steal it again.
The two Taoist priests glanced at each other, and then went to the snake charmer to inquire.
Speaking of Erqing, the snake charmer couldn't help but sigh, and then talked with some pride from the day he picked up Erqing, and talked about Erqing coming to pick up Xiaoqing and giving him a mountain ginseng.
"Who is ruthless?" said the snake charmer, "If this place is not its long-term residence, I really don't want to let it go back to the mountain, he is like my son." But it's okay now, with his cleverness, he might be able to turn into a dragon one day!"
The snake charmer surnamed Cen still kept an eye on it, and didn't say Erqing's third eye.
When the two Taoist priests heard this, they looked at each other again.
After coming out of the snake charmer's house, the young Taoist priest said, "Senior brother, I don't think this green snake is simple, it won't have become a demon, right!?"
Senior Brother Daoist shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that it is unlikely, unless it accidentally ingests some heavenly and earthly treasure and opens up its spiritual wisdom." However, it is also worth noting. ”
"But senior brother, it's winter now! The long worm has already been dormant at this time!"
Senior Brother Daoist nodded, and finally said: "While the snow is not big now, I will go up the mountain tomorrow to check and check, if there is really anything wrong, I will come back in the spring next year." ”
The young Taoist priest nodded.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the two Taoist priests enjoyed breakfast and went up the mountain with their swords.
The sky was hazy, still floating with a little white floc, and everything was already covered with a thin veil.
The two of them swept straight up the mountain, and only two shadows could be seen.
It can really be said that he is vigorous and athletic, and there is no trace of treading the snow. Go up the mountain and cross the stream like an ape, and go over the mountains and mountains like flat land.
In a short time, the two easily crossed the two mountains, gradually approaching the grape mountain where Erqing lived at the beginning, and came to the place where Erqing found the thousand-year-old He Shou Wu.
On the hillside, there are still broken trees that have been scorched by the thunderstorm.
The two of them looked here for a long time, and they both looked solemn.
"Senior brother, is this a monster tribulation?"
The elder Taoist priest nodded his head, and at the end he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Come to think of it, this monster should have failed to cross the tribulation, if it succeeds, this place will never be like it is now." ”
"That shouldn't be the worm!"
"Probably not!"
The two looked at it for a long time, and then went back into the mountain.
After a while, the two of them gradually encountered many wild beasts. But the beasts, though startled by them at first, soon followed boldly from a distance, watching quietly.
These beasts include jackals, tigers and leopards, apes and ermines, bearded sheep and mountain cattle, and wild horned deer...... Seeing these beasts boldly surrounding them and looking at them curiously, the two Taoist priests felt very strange, they had traveled all over the country, and they had never seen such a strange thing.
What's more, these jackals, tigers, leopards and other carnivores didn't bite them, nor did they stretch out their claws to other animals around them, which is unimaginable.
"Senior brother, it's really strange here, the carnivores can actually get together with the herbivores without messing around, and they are not afraid of the living, it seems that there are indeed monsters ruling them. ”
The elder Taoist priest nodded and said, "If you leave that monster alone, when that monster really grows up in the future, this mountain will definitely become a place where demons are rampant, and you can't ignore it!"
"Hmm!"
The two continued to search, but they were kept watching by a group of wild beasts, which was weird.
The two of them also felt that there was something wrong with this meeting, as if the two of them had become the monkeys who were being watched.
The young Taoist priest couldn't stand the atmosphere, and couldn't help but turn around and roar at those beasts.
The beasts were shocked, but seeing that the young Taoist priest did not move, he returned to watching.
The young Taoist priest was a little angry, but the older Taoist priest shook his head and ignored it.
"What are these two humans looking for?"
Just when the two Taoist priests were looking for traces of Erqing's existence, those wild ** flowed up.
"Were they talking about us?"
"It must be strange! It must be strange that I'm staying with an old man, I'm a dignified leopard, and I'm actually in the company of pigs......"
"Lord Ji Leopard, why are you here?" the old man trembled, respectfully greeting.
"Lord Ji Leopard, Lord Ji Leopard ......"
Many of the beasts around with a little wisdom greeted the leopard.
When the two Taoist priests saw the appearance of a golden leopard with a tail and a length of more than five feet, they couldn't help but show a different color.
"Good fellow, it's grown so big!" the young Taoist priest said, "Presumably the spirit has been born!"
The elder Taoist priest nodded.
The two Taoist priests looked at Ji Leopard, and Ji Leopard also looked at them, and then said to the surrounding beasts: "These two human beings must have come to find Erqing Shijun! They treat Erqing Shijun as a monster." ”
"However, the second green master clearly said that it has not become a demon yet!"
"Hurry up and inform the Second Qing Master!" Ji Leopard raised his head and roared at the birds in the tree.
"Why don't I kill them first?"
I don't know which stupid beast came up with the stupid idea.
