Chapter 2 Lying on the Immortal Mountain, the moon dew

The idiot controls the back of the fairy mountain, and the cold dew is full of moonlight

- "Qiyun Rock Wall"

Said that the child passed leisurely like this, and Xingyan followed the same route every day, shuttling back and forth between Horseshoe Mountain, Ji's private school, Shangqing Palace, Li Ji grocery store, and the Daoxiang restaurant where he worked for a short time.

When he is a little older, and when he starts to do heavy work, he should inherit the ancestral property of this horseshoe barren mountain, dig in this barren mountain to eat, and drill ditches and cross mountains to hunt mountain animals. When you save some money, you will marry the girl from the dealer who is close to the door in Shangshan Village as a wife. Since then, he has stayed away from the school, away from the beauty of the grocery store, and has become a man in charge who is only suitable for raising children in the field.

Perhaps, if there was no accident, the young man would have lived his life like the ancestors of the Zhang family, following such a route, and there would be no trace in the legend after that.

This accident, which changed the life of the teenager, happened in the summer when he was sixteen years old.

It was the scorching heat, and the loquat trees that his family had painstakingly planted on Horseshoe Mountain had somehow caused bugs. It stands to reason that this loquat tree has its own breath of fresh air and is generally not prone to insects. It's just that when Lao Zhang went up to the mountain to inspect the loquat forest where the whole family relied on the source of food, he found some moths flying around the bushes that he had never seen before.

At this time, he immediately made Lao Zhang's head anxious, and hurriedly recruited his son and wife to fight together. Who knows that this flying insect is flexible, and it is not easy to completely cull it. Seeing this, the three of them had no choice but to beat them with their clothes to drive these strange insects away from the loquat forest as much as possible.

After tossing and turning all day, I finally drove away these strange insects from the loquat bushes. As the main force of deworming, jumping up and down all day, Rao is a young man who is so awake that he is tired enough at the end of the day.

In the evening, he was too lazy to move around for a while, so he asked the second elder to go back first, and he rested on this mountain to see if these insects would come again. Anyway, in such a summer night, it is difficult to sleep in the thatched hut at home, so it is better to rest on this mountain, and the night is cooler. When you are hungry, you can pick some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger, just to save a dinner.

So the second elder went back first. Zhang Xingyan lay down on the white stone slab on the hillside that he often used to rest.

This white slate is made of nature, and its appearance is similar to that of a bed. Although this horseshoe mountain occupies a lot of space, it is not high, and the forest is sparse, so it can only be regarded as a barren mountain. Lao Zhangtou once had the intention to sell it and exchange some silver to buy a paddy field on the edge of Raozhou City, but no one cared about it.

The only thing worth mentioning about this horseshoe mountain is this half-cut bed-shaped white stone. This stone is about a man long, and it is just right to lie down. The surface of the stone bed is smooth and clean, although there are a few protrusions in the middle, but if you lie down for a long time, you will not be able to notice it.

There is also a strange thing about this white stone bed that only Xingyan knows, that is, every time I catch up with the farming, I am tired from working on the mountain, and I lie on this white stone to sleep and rest, and I always feel refreshed after waking up, and my brain seems to be a lot more flexible. Even, there is often the urge to whistle a few times.

However, maybe this is not a special thing, and I am afraid that this is the feeling of sleeping on a cool stone and waking up. The thoughtful young man was afraid that he would make others laugh if he said it, so he never mentioned it to anyone.

When Xingyan lay down on this natural white stone bed again, a bright moon had jumped over the east mountain. In the breeze unique to the mountains, the boy stretched his limbs and fully enjoyed the coolness of the white stone.

After a long time, I seemed to feel a little bored, so I quietly looked up at the starry sky above my head.

Looking at the faint Milky Way across the sky above his head, the young man couldn't help but think of the agricultural proverb in his heart:

"The Milky Way runs east and west, and every family eats rice. ”

Unfortunately, he did not have a fertile land for rice production at home.

The young man lying on the white stone always felt that the star Han Tianyu above his head was always not enough, as if it was different every day. When he looked at the stars in the sky for a long time, it was as if his gaze, and then his whole body, were drawn to this mysterious and endless starry sky.

Xingyan just lay still, motionless. Only at this time is his happiest time, any troubles and sorrows, they are tomorrow's things, and there is no need to worry about them now.

Time passed slowly. The moon moved, and before I knew it, the full moon had moved to the beginning of the awakening. The snow-like moonlight poured down like soft water, flowing on the body of Xingyan who was lying quietly.

"The moon is so round tonight...... Isn't it fifteen again? When I get home, I have to ask my mother ......."

Xingyan thought nonchalantly. At this moment, suddenly, he found that the white stone under him seemed to have life for a while, and a powerful force was coming from under him, rushing into his body.

In an instant, the young man who was lying comfortably seemed to be thrown upwards and flew into the depths of the endless and unfathomable starry sky of the universe......

"Ahh

The first reaction of Xingyan was that he felt that he had encountered the evil ghosts in the mouths of those foolish women and ordinary men! I didn't expect that he had always been hippie and smiling and disrespectful to ghosts and gods, and now he finally got retribution!

Thinking of this, Xingyan is not ready to lie down, he is waiting to struggle, but he is not afraid that the originally weak and useless water and moonlight will suddenly have substance. The snow-white and translucent moonlight shrouded directly on the white stone where Xingyan was lying - as if the essence of the moon that originally filled the entire heaven and earth gathered in an instant to the square inch of land where the young man was lying, and the power of the white stone under him hit Xingyan's body together, and the park stretched endlessly.

Under the pull of these two inexplicable forces, the young man only felt that he seemed to be being grabbed by two giant claws, suddenly squeezing, suddenly tearing, and his whole body seemed to be his own, like a small leaf in a storm, rolling involuntarily. Unfortunately, he was not as painless as the leaves, for a while, he only felt like ten thousand ants devouring flesh, a great pain and itching, and it was as if the whole person was falling off a cliff, knowing that the end of death was approaching but there was nothing to do! At this time, Xingyan was only stunned and couldn't shout, and wanted to get up and flee but couldn't move an inch!

And the young man's unexpectedly tenacious nerves allowed him to have a trace of thought under this inhuman pain:

"It turns out that I have lived all those miserable and toiling days before, how happy and happy I am!"

Just when he thought that he was going to "die" on the spot as Mr. Ji said, while maintaining a state of pain and grief, he gradually found that the terrible itch had already receded like a tide, and the two huge forces had now merged together, just like a stream of flowing water, slowly flowing through his body but rushing endlessly-he himself didn't know how there could be these two contradictory absurd feelings at that time. By this time, however, he had recovered from his panic, and after a few moments, he finally knew that the suffering had passed.

Because, as this flowing water overflows the body and mind, the pain in the whole body gradually disappears, and the comfort gradually grows.

As this clear stream washed over and over his body, Xingyan seemed to have a third eye, looking down at "Zhang Xingyan" on the white stone, watching "he" gradually become clear and ethereal......

.........

......

I don't know how much time passed, the "third eye" of Xingyan quietly looked at this flowing water, and as it moved, it became more and more invisible, and finally dissolved into the limbs and eight bones like a mountain spring returning to the stream, until the young man could no longer grasp it - first the invisible flowing water, and then the strange "third eye".

It's just that the lingering lingering charm of the young man's body, which is both mellow and light, makes him difficult to let go of for a long time.

From the initial pain to the current reluctance, he has gradually forgotten the initial horror and is nostalgic for this feeling that he has never had. So the boy maintained this posture, lying on the stubborn stone that had calmed down as usual, looking forward to the reappearance of this vision, not knowing the whiteness of the East.

"Wake up that kid is crazy!"

The next day, the neighbors in Raozhou City who were familiar with Xingyan laughed like this early in the morning.

It's no wonder that the young Zhang Xingyan went home early the next morning, and went to Raozhou City to be active, and he grabbed acquaintances at every turn to ask the same question:

"Did you see the white light outside Dongcheng last night? Do you see anything different about me today?!"

As a result, the survey was unanimously denied by his parents, and they all cast strange glances, and if he met a particularly caring audience, the teenager would often have to touch his forehead to make sure he was suffering from a fever!

Despite this, the young man didn't give up, and even pulled Li Xiaomei's sleeve, asked the same question, and made the girl who didn't know each other blush, tried his best to get rid of his dementia-like entanglement, and went straight to the back hall. After that, only half of the lonely sleeve was left, which was held in the claws of the awakening word.

Everyone got the stolen goods, which naturally provoked the boss of the grocery store Li to warn him sharply, asking him not to tease her daughter by pretending to be crazy. But fortunately, this big boss Li has heard about the weirdness of this kid this morning, and witnessed the whole process of the boy harassing his daughter, so he roughly understands what happened. Therefore, although his tone of reprimand was harsh, he always felt that there was still a bit of irrepressible laughter in it.

reacted to the awakening words, and immediately made a big red face, and had to leave the half-sleeved sleeve that still had a lingering fragrance, turned around and fled.

Mr. Ji, who was pacing on the nearby bluestone street to digest breakfast, happened to witness this ugly scene of his disciple, and he was actually disrespectful to the old man, and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:

"I would rather know that the child has a habit of breaking sleeves!"

Shrugged his shoulders and laughed as a cormorant.

It's a pity that under the high and low level, no one on this street except for the old gentleman himself can hear what kind of joke this is.

In fact, everyone thinks that there are usually some ghostly and weird awakenings, and what kind of ghost tricks are being played on this day, so everyone has never worked together so together, as if they had made an appointment in advance, and they came to deny the problem of awakening - except for the old Taoist Qinghe, who was in the old good fate.

When the young man finally turned his pleading gaze to the old Dao Qinghe and asked the same question, his voice was much quieter. Because this morning, even under the blow, the teenager's self-confidence is about to be exhausted. And what's worse is that now even he almost believes that he really just had a strange dream last night. If he continues to ask like this, I am afraid that he will also think that he is sick or not.

The more he looked at the blue sky, the stronger this thought became.

Now, the battered Xingyan has decided that if Qinghe, an old Taoist priest who is also a little bit around the bush with the immortals, also denies it, then it can be completely considered that he did last night, but he just had an absurd and strange dream.

It seems that Qinghe Lao Dao seems to have been waiting for a long time in his good fate shop, looking like he is waiting for a rabbit. Hearing the young man's words, the old man looked the young man up and down, looking at the young man carefully for a while, and only after a long time did he say softly:

"Something has changed!"

Wow!~ The boy who tossed for half a day and lost sleep for most of the night has gone through a lot of hardships and suffered all the humiliation in the world, and finally found a soulmate!

Qinghe Lao Dao's low-voiced words, in the ears of Xingyan's tormented by the same answer, were as loud and lovely as Hong Zhong Dalu.

Looking at the excitement of Xingyan, who was full of anticipation, Qinghe Lao Dao said slowly word by word:

"Today, heaven, you, indeed, really, really, yes, no, one, likeβ€”"

"Because you're stupid today!wahahahaha~"

After the bad old man finished speaking, he laughed out loud, listening to the endless laughter that seemed to be able to circle the beam, it is estimated that this old man has been holding back for a long time!

"I'll strangle you, you stinky Taoist!"

The young man was annoyed when he heard this, and he was about to pounce. It's just that, in addition to dancing and dancing claws, he has completely given up in his heart, and only thinks lightly:

"Oh, it was just a dream last night...... But this dream is really weird, as if I have experienced it myself!"

After a while, Xingyan seemed to remember something again, and said to Qinghe Lao Dao, who was dodging:

"Master, please accept me as an apprentice!

So starting from this dialogue with the usual apprentice in the past, the life of the young Zhang Xingyan seems to have returned to the normal track. The toss that morning was just used as a joke, and it became an inconspicuous drink material among the many conversations of the market men when they drank in the cool at night. Maybe in less than two days, everyone will forget about it.

It's just that the white stone that sprouted that night and the strange moonlight will really make the life of the young Zhang Xingyan move forward according to the original trajectory?
