Chapter 13: Trials Faced
Another day passed. On the hillside outside the village, wildflowers bloom everywhere, and the early morning dew on the petals has not yet dissipated, making the wildflowers even more delicate. The birds that had risen up to forage in the trees had begun to sing, and two long-tailed squirrels jumped up and down on the branches, chasing and fighting, startling the birds of the tree, chirping, and so lively.
Among the flowers on the hillside lay a child, sleeping very soundly, not knowing what he dreamed of, occasionally grinning.
A big yellow dog came running from a distance, ran and sniffed, and then peed everywhere. Suddenly, the big yellow dog ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
After running for a while, he found that no one was following, so he ran back and found that the person was still lying down. The big yellow dog sat down, looked at the child on the ground, looked at it for a long time, and found that the people on the ground had no intention of getting up, so he barked impatiently at the child.
The child's eyelids on the ground moved, and he just wanted to open them, but he was stabbed by the sun.
The child rubbed his eyes, slowly adapted to the sun, opened his eyes and looked around, and saw the big yellow dog.
"Rhubarb, why are you here?"
This kid is Mu Yi, who has been lying here all night.
"Am I not dead?" Mu Yi pinched his arm, it hurt.
"Haha, I'm not dead, I'm still alive, great! Come on, rhubarb, let me hug me. "
Mu Yi is very excited, the rest of his life after the catastrophe is gratifying!
The big yellow dog twisted for a long time, still wagging his tail and giving Mu Yi a tongue kiss.
Mu Yi ravaged the rhubarb hard, only to find that he didn't see the three blacks.
"Where are the three blacks?"
The big yellow dog ran behind Mu Yi and pulled something out from under Mu Yi's buttocks, who is it not Sanhei!
"I dreamed of being crushed by the mountains all night!" Sanhei woke up from the toss and muttered to sit up.
"Ouch, my whole body hurts, and my bones feel like they're going to fall apart. "
Three black painful teeth cracked mouth.
Mu Yi coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Why are we here? I remember I was struck twice by the centipede's tail, didn't I die?"
Sanhei is also confused.
"I don't have any impression anymore, I just remember that I was knocked out of the valley, and suddenly I felt that the seal in my body seemed to be opened, yes, it was opened by the immortal qi I absorbed in the past two days, and then I didn't know anything. "
"In my haze, I seemed to see a big bird with huge wings, very sacred, and gave me a drop of something. "
"Giant winged bird, what does it look like? Isn't it cool? Is it bald on its head?"
"It doesn't seem to be. "
"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not!"
Mu Yi laughed for a while, this thing probably thought he was the giant winged bird.
"It's good to be alive! Let's go, go home, grandpa and eldest brother must be in a hurry to die." "
When I came to the door of the house, I saw my grandfather sitting under the big locust tree in the yard, and there was a pile of grass under the tree. An old hen with a reed flower and a large flock of chicks foraged in the haystack, scratching in the haystack with her paws, finding a bug, cooing, and calling a flock of chicks to swarm. The clusters of locust flowers on the locust tree have already opened, and from time to time there are bees shuttling between the locust flowers. The sunlight sneaked through the leaves of the locust tree, dappled and shone on the place, and the wind blew, causing a flock of chicks to chase the mottled shadows of the trees, chirping excitedly. Grandpa's back was to the courtyard gate, his figure was already rickety, he couldn't straighten up anymore, his beard was white, and the goatee he used to be proud of was now sparse. Since when has grandpa's majesty and strength been worn away by the years, only the crumpled silhouette remains, and it turns out that the years can quietly torture people so helplessly!
"It turns out that grandpa is already so old!" Mu Yi looked at his grandfather who was peaceful and peaceful in front of him, feeling sad and guilty, "How long can this kind of life last?"
"Grandpa, I'm back!" Mu Yi rubbed his eyes and walked into the yard.
"Yi'er is back, hurry up and wash your hands, and leave breakfast in the pot for you." "
Seeing Mu Yi come back safely, the old patriarch smiled very happily, Mu Yi didn't belong to their world, he had to go out sooner or later, what was there to blame and complain about if he could live the rest of his life in peace?
"Okay!"
Mu Yi didn't ask his grandfather why he didn't blame him for not coming home for so long, or even where he went. There is no need anymore, Mu Yi already understands that what he can do is to go home safely, because there is a grandfather at home and a big brother waiting for him to eat. Say a thousand words and I will be careful, it is better to stand in front of me safely, see it, and touch it!
"Is Xiao Yi back?"
As soon as Dasheng entered the door, he shouted and asked his grandfather, and he was still carrying a pheasant in his hand.
"Big brother, I'm here. Mu Yi ran out of the house, still holding a steamed bun in his hand.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, there is chicken to eat at noon today. "
Dasheng smirked vigorously and raised the pheasant in his hand to Mu Yi.
Dasheng is honest and blunt, simple-minded, and will not express his feelings, every time Mu Yi does not go home for a long time, Dasheng does not speak, and will follow the third uncle to take risks hunting. He was afraid that Mu Yi would not eat well outside, and he could make up for it when he went home.
"Okay, I'll sharpen my knives!"
The yard is very lively, grandpa cuts grass and feeds the cows, Dasheng kills chickens and removes hair, Mu Yi boils water to scald chickens, and even Sanhei is not idle, pointing fingers next to Dasheng.
"The hairs here are softer and more abundant, and they should be burned with fire after being plucked, and the hairs there are harder, so you can pluck them by hand, be careful not to pull them out!"
"The meat on the breast is more tender and suitable for stir-frying. Hey, I'll keep that piece, the meat is relatively hard, so it must be simmered on low heat. "
"What are you doing, this is a good thing! I can't see you and make trouble for me, I want to keep the chicken blood, I like to eat it." I'm worried about my life!"
"You clean up first, remember to pick some locust flowers later, put them in and stew them together, it will be more fragrant. I'm looking for any seasoning, it's not good to cook it for nothing!"
Sanhei looks like a gourmet.
Regarding Sanhei's fingers, Dasheng smirked and obeyed, not annoyed at all.
Mu Yi looked at the scene in front of him and felt very happy, this kind of peaceful life should really be cherished.
After lunch, Dasheng cleaned up his things and pulled Sanhei to take a nap, Sanhei couldn't go alive or dead, saying that he should hurry up and absorb the fairy energy, change back to his handsome and chic appearance as soon as possible, and get rid of the shadow of baldness as soon as possible.
Mu Yi sat next to the old patriarch and quietly accompanied the old patriarch. The old patriarch looked at Mu Yi with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
"Grandpa, do you have anything to say?"
"Hey, you're just too young. "The old patriarch couldn't bear it.
"Is Grandpa going to tell me about my parents?"
Mu Yixin felt like he was about to jump out, and asked his grandfather countless times, did he want to say it this time?
"Hey, I don't know much about your parents, and when I brought you back, I didn't see your parents, only an old servant. "
Mu Yi was a little disappointed.
"Well, where is the old servant now, he must know the whereabouts of my parents, I'll ask him!"
"That old servant is not mortal, although he didn't say it, but I can guess that your parents are not mortal either. Why did your parents leave you, the old fairy didn't say, he only said that even he was looking for your parents. "
"Is he in Roselle Peak? I'm going to find him, I want to know what kind of trouble is there to get parents to leave their children!"
"I picked you up at Luoshenfeng, but according to the old fairy, Luoshenfeng is not a place where he can stay, and after settling you, he will leave. "
"No matter where he is, I will find him!" Mu Yi was resolute.
"Actually, he came here yesterday and left behind a cultivation method and a seed. "
The old patriarch handed over the cultivation method and a wooden box to Mu Yi.
Mu Yi took it, a jade slip, a wooden box, and looked at it carefully.
The jade is as warm as water, and Mu Yi checked it very carefully over and over again, but he couldn't see a word.
"Stupid, this is used in the immortal cultivation world, unlike the bamboo slips in the mortal world, you put it on your forehead and try it. "
Sanhei opened his eyes, just in time to see Mu Yi's incomprehension.
Mu Yi followed Sanhei's guidance and put the jade slip on his forehead, and heard an old man's voice.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs, the strong are unkind, the weak are dogs, the cunning are unkind, and the merciful are dogs. If you are weak, you will have a bad fate, if you are weak, you will rely on people's breath, if you are comfortable, if you are comfortable, if you are dying, you will be eager to survive, and this mediocre and incompetent person is also. Weak but strong, weak and bears humiliation, comfortable and prepared for danger in times of peace, dying and desperate to be reborn, this great perseverance is also. After experiencing the catastrophe of life and death, presumably the young master should be able to understand what the old slave said! This cultivation method is the master's life's painstaking efforts, and before turning into a god, it must not be leaked, so as not to harbor his guilt and incur the disaster of killing! The old slave gives the young master a month, and hopes that the young master will be diligent and reluctant, and within a month, if the young master passes the test, the old slave will answer questions and solve doubts for the young master, if not, the old slave will take back the method, and the young master will live a stable life!
"What kind of test is it, you can make it clear! I don't want a stable life, I want to know the whereabouts of my parents!" Mu Yi wanted to shout, but couldn't make a sound.
Except for the characters that came to his mind and couldn't understand, Mu Yi didn't hear any sound anymore.
With a "snap", the jade slip cracked and finally shattered into powder.
