Chapter 61: Sequoia Spirit Fruit (Part 1)
Sitting in the small courtyard, the warm sunlight poured straight down, shining on Qiu Xin's face, extremely peaceful, Qiu Xin was like an old man in an ordinary people's house, cocking his legs and humming a song in his mouth.
"Miss Iris, how long have I been asleep?" Seeing Iris Dai coming out of the house, Qiu Xin asked casually, and Iris said softly, "It's a day and two nights." ”
That was the day before yesterday, from here, the corpses of the Demon Sect disciples on the altar had been cleaned up, and the blood stains on them had disappeared.
The shadow of the statue shrank very short, overlooking the surroundings of Miao Village, when there was a sudden sound in the house, followed by the sound of small footsteps, and before Qiu Xin could reply, he was hugged tightly by the neck.
Feeling the sobbing sound behind him, Qiu Xin reached out and patted the little hand around his neck, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." ”
"Ah Nan thought, thought... Big brother also..."Qiu Xin understood in his heart that Ah Nan wanted to say that he was afraid that he would not wake up like Liuyu, and he would never see him again, not because he was afraid of the disciples of the Demon Sect.
Thinking of this, Qiu Xin hugged Ah Nan in front of him, put it on his lap, and said slowly, "People are born, old, sick and die, naturally there are gatherings and scattering, isn't it good for me." ”
Ah Nan didn't know if it was because of crying red eyes or staying up all night to stay by Qiu Xin's side, at this time it was especially pitiful, Ah Nan heard Qiu Xin say this, stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said, "Will Ah Nan die?"
Qiu Xin was dumbfounded when she heard this, and then laughed at herself in her heart, she really couldn't speak, at this time Yuan Dai walked to the side of the two, squatted down, and looked at Ah Nan gently, "Everyone will experience life and death, as witch doctors, we are to cure diseases and save people." But valuing life and death is not necessarily about being afraid of life and death, it's just about what to do when you are alive, and what you will regret when you die?"
I don't know if Ah Nan understood or didn't understand, he hesitated for a while and nodded, stood up, and stood straight in front of Qiu Xin. "Ah Nan wants to be a witch doctor and save many, many people in the future. ”
Qiu Xin touched Ah Nan's hair, "It's great that you can think like this, but now we have more important things to do." Ah Nan's eyes rolled and she took Qiu Xin's hand, "What's the matter?"
"You'll find out in a while. Qiu Xin originally wanted to tell Ah Nan that she could cure the fetal marks on her face, but then she thought that the sequoia fruit she brought might be abnormal, if she couldn't cure the fetal marks, wouldn't it make the little girl happy. So I thought about it and didn't say it.
Ah Nan didn't hurry to ask more, at this time, Yuan Dai was standing in the courtyard, Ah Nan was standing in front of Qiu Xin, the three of them were like a family of three, very harmonious.
.........
Stepping on the altar again always gives him a different feeling, the statue seems to have magical powers, and it will always make people unconsciously look at it twice. But not because it is tall and conspicuous.
Step into the altar and the sound echoes. "You come to the room. The priest's voice was low, but it could be heard throughout the underground stone chamber, and Qiu Xin was very curious about how he did it.
When he came to the chamber, the stone door slowly opened, and the priest lay on his head on a wicker chair, swaying back and forth. Hearing Qiu Xin come in, he raised his hand and said, "Sit down." ”
Qiu Xin looked around in the stone room, and there were many herbs in the collapsed room, which was not inferior to the small courtyard of the flowing palmetto. There are still many clay pots, but Qiu Xin has been looking for a long time, and he has not seen a place to sit.
But he looked a little weird standing next to the priest, so he sat on the ground, and then the priest tilted his head slightly and glanced at Qiu Xin, and closed his eyes again.
"Senior, I have already done what my mother-in-law explained when she left, but you can see if this fruit can cure Ah Nan's fetal marks. Qiu Xin touched it in his arms, but he was shocked, where was the shadow of the sequoia fruit.
Until he groped all over his body and couldn't find it, he stood up with a snort, and looked again unconfidently, but still didn't find the redwood fruit.
The day before yesterday, he fought with Yan Yi, and he also cared about the sequoia fruit in his arms, which was indeed still there at that time, and at this time, Qiu Xin remembered another thing, his heart sank, and he took a deep breath.
The white tiger, why is the white tiger gone, he relaxed that day, and fell asleep, but the white tiger is a beast, and he followed himself to the village.
If you don't wake up, the white tiger must not listen to anyone's words, to this crowded village, the consequences are unimaginable, the two things are in your heart, Qiu Xin is anxious, and she clenches her fist at the priest, "Junior..."
Qiu Xin glanced up at the priest, and felt that it was wrong, if the white tiger caused trouble, why didn't he mention it when he was young, and the priest was so calm at this time.
The priest's eyes widened, and he reluctantly raised and lowered his hand, "Sit." Qiu Xin sat on the ground, the priest lowered his hand from the rattan chair, and by the sunlight that penetrated the stone room, Qiu Xin saw a flash of red in his hand, and then looked closely, it was clearly a redwood fruit.
Qiu Xin was overjoyed, "I've seen it before, I don't know if this redwood fruit can be..."The priest's dull words sounded again, "What redwood fruit?"
“...... The ancestor is in the hands of the redwood fruit, I don't know..."If it weren't for the priest's Golden Gu Trilarvae to heal himself for poison and be disabled, causing him to appear old, otherwise based on these words alone, he wouldn't look like an old man who is more than a hundred years old.
"You said this, I picked it up. The priest was like an elder, sinking into this way, making Qiu Xin feel that the sentence "getting older and younger" was not unreasonable.
"The senior said that it was funny, can this fruit be treated...?" Qiu Xin was interrupted in the middle of speaking, "You said that you are a young man, but you can't make the slightest joke." ”
"It's a redwood, and it's not an ordinary redwood, it's a redwood. The priest's words can be regarded as solving the mystery in Qiu Xin's heart.
It is no wonder that the apes are desperately trying to chase after them, and the fruits on the redwood trees are innumerable, and if each tree species is born, the redwood trees will inevitably spread all over the mountains.
But what I saw at that time, there was only one sequoia tree in the entire Sihuan Mountain, and I was afraid that this sequoia fruit would be as precious as a sequoia tree.
Then the priest said, "I must thank you for this fruit, not only for curing the fetal mark of Ah Nan, but also for planting this tree in the village, and it will surely bless future generations." ”
Qiu Xin was comforted when he heard that he could heal Ah Nan's fetal mark, "Since this is the case, it must be excellent, and the white tiger who came with me the day before yesterday?"
Qiu Xin was sure that the White Tiger had not caused trouble at this time, but he thought that there were so many hunters in the village, even if the White Tiger was fierce, he was afraid that he would be arrested.
Hearing this, the priest sat up straight, stretched out his hand and pressed the clay pot on the side, the door of the stone chamber opened again, and the white tiger slowly walked in, looking greedily at the redwood fruit.
Seeing this, Qiu Xin said in his heart, he subdued the white tiger, the three palms used, and the grace of pushing away the stone statue, the priest just relied on a sequoia fruit, and the white tiger was obedient, and he didn't feel that he despised the white tiger in his heart, and he was the king of beasts in vain.
The priest also noticed the white tiger's eyes and put away the sequoia fruit, "This white tiger is docile, different from other beasts, but it is a good hand at guarding the house, and it can also be with me in the altar, which is very good." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Xin laughed directly, "Senior, it's not a junior, Brother Tiger is not a cat or dog, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here, let alone take care of the family." ”
"How do you know that he can't take care of the house, aren't these two **** obediently guarding here?"
But the priest was right, the white tiger did stay at the altar during the time he didn't wake up, but it was also the work of the redwood fruit.
"Senior, it's still dangerous to leave it here, if you run out of the altar and hurt people, it's not good, and the hunters in the village may not be able to subdue it. When the priest heard this, he got up and got out of his wicker chair.
Putting the redwood fruit in a crockpot, he walked out of the collapse room with Qiu Xin, "Let's go, let's go up." The priest went up to the altar with Qiu Xin, and the statue in the aisle was in front of it.
At this moment, Qiu Xin looked at the statue, his eyes changed, and he looked at the white tiger, which was already bowing his head to the ground, and Qiu Xin suddenly remembered the surrender appearance of the white tiger when he saw the statue of this person outside the Dragon Palace that day.
As it is today, it is no wonder that the white tiger was able to get rid of its ferocity and be here, not because of the redwood fruit, but because of the statue on the altar.
The white tiger is so in awe, although it is a fierce beast, but the Miao people have erected this statue, and the white tiger is also different from these people, so that Qiu Xin can relax his heart.
The priest looked up at the statue, his eyes were full of respect, just like a white tiger, Qiu Xin looked at a man and a tiger like this, and unconsciously thought in his heart, "I don't know what kind of man can have such a respectable charm." ”
At this time, the priest said leisurely, "God favors Miao Village, it exists today, this admiration, Miao people from generation to generation, dare not look at each other, I can't think that even such animals have a heart of worship, it is commendable." ”
Qiu Xin frowned, his heart was full of puzzlement, according to the words on the statue of the Dragon Palace, this person should be a person from the Central Plains who lives in seclusion here, and he is the emperor, what did he do, he can be called a god by the priest.
Moreover, the costumes of the priests and Han people are very different from the costumes of ordinary Miao people, which just confirms this, and the people in front of them are the people of the Central Plains.
"Seniors, the characters on this statue are extraordinary and convincing, but the costumes are people from the Central Plains, how did they become gods in the village. ”
Qiu Xin still couldn't help it, with this question, the priest hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say, and finally said, "As a Miao person, as a priest, we have passed down from generation to generation, gods are gods, not people, how can it be said that people are gods." ”
The priest's words were really ridiculous, and when Qiu Xin heard it, he only felt that the Miao people respected this person too much, and they passed it on by word of mouth, which was exactly what they said, and they were like gods.
However, Qiu Xin did not dare to say this, and with the priest's current state, he dared to have any disrespect for their gods, and he was afraid that he would immediately turn his face.
He could only remain silent, and then he continued to ask, and looked at the statue with the priest.
After a long time, the shadow of the statue had traveled a long distance with the sunlight, and the priest spoke, "When are you leaving?" (To be continued.) )
