About a year later, one day the sleepy bug punched and kicked Haibao again, and Haibao endured it as usual. The sleepy insect said angrily: "Little hairy head, why don't you fight back?"

Haibao said: "Uncle, you think it's a pleasure to beat me, just beat me." ”

The sleepy insect said, "I'll let you fight back! Hurry up! Don't you even fight?"

Seeing that the sleepy bug was angry, Hypertherm dodged and symbolically punched back.

The sleepy insect said, "You stupid! you can't fight like this, if it's me, that's it!" he said, grabbing Haibao's right arm with one hand, and suddenly reaching into his waist with the other, sweeping his feet, and immediately throwing Haibao to the ground.

Haibao was in pain, so he simply sat on the ground and couldn't get up, and said flatteringly: "Uncle Sleepy Bug, you are so powerful, I can't beat you, just spare me!"

The sleepy insect said: "I like to hear this! I don't want to blow it to you, but I am a good fighter! Since you are with me, you can't be cowardly! From today on, I will teach you how to fight with people. So that if you get out of this prison one day, you will no longer be easily bullied. ”

Haibao said in his heart: "You will fight again, haven't you been in this prison?" but he didn't dare to say it, so he had to echo and follow the sleepy insect to learn to fight.

The sleepy insect was taught very seriously.

After a few days, Hypertherm changed its mind about sleepy bugs. He was kind of an eye-opener, it turned out that there was so much knowledge in fighting! It seems that the sleepy bug is really not bragging. Hypertherm also took it seriously. As a result, there is something new to learn every day, and Hypertherm's interest is getting higher and higher, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable going to jail.

One day both Hypertherm and Sleepy Worm were lying on the straw, and Hypertherm thought Sleepy Worm was asleep, but suddenly heard him whisper, "Little Maotou, do you want to go home to see your parents?"

Haibao said: "I want to, I dream about it, but I don't know when I can go out." ”

The sleepy insect said: "That's easy, but it depends on whether you want to or not." ”

Haibao sat up, his eyes widened in the darkness, and said, "As long as you can get out, why not!"

The sleepy worm pushed him back down and said, "Don't get excited, listen to me." Then he said solemnly, "Try to use your feet hard to break the chains on your feet." ”

Haibao was deflated when he heard this: "That's it, this chain is thicker than a thumb, how can it be broken." ”

The sleepy insect said, "If you want to get out, listen to me." ”

Suspicious, Hypertherm slowly parted her feet, careful not to make a sound, and pulled her feet out at the same time, breaking the chain tied to her feet in two. Hypertherm was so excited that she almost screamed.

The sleepy insect whispered: "You get out of the cell, turn east, there is a courtyard, there is a dry well in the courtyard, you can enter slowly, there is a half-moon stone button at the bottom, you force the button to turn three times to the left, open a passage, and then follow the passage to go out." ”

Haibao said: "Where does the passage lead?"

The sleepy insect said: "When the time comes, I will naturally understand." ”

Haibao said: "What if the mechanism can't be opened?"

The sleepy insect said: "That blames you for not being created, so you can only find a chance to leave from the yard, and it is a big deal to be caught again." ”

Haibao heard him say lightly, and his heart was suspicious, and the sleepy insect saw it at a glance, and laughed and said: "Xiao Maotou is too timid, if you don't dare, it's okay, it's good to continue to live in this prison." ”

Haibao said: "Who said that you don't dare, at most it will be death, what's the big deal!"

The sleepy insect said: "Phew! At a young age, open your mouth and close your mouth to say the word 'death', how unlucky! Don't worry, you are still far from death! You shouldn't die, you can't die if you want to." ”

Haibao lived in prison for two years, and he was tired of thinking about the outside world every day, so he made up his mind: "Okay, as long as you can get out, it's worth the risk, this hellish place will suffocate people to death all day long." ”

The sleepy insect smiled: "Then after you go out, remember to ask someone to bring me some delicious food from time to time, there is no clear soup and little water here all day long, it is really unbearable!"

Haibao was taken aback and said, "Uncle Sleepy Bug, won't you go out with me?"

The sleepy insect said: "When did I say that I would go out with you! You go out to see your parents, but I don't have any parents to see! There is food and drink here, how comfortable!"

Haibao was very puzzled and said, "But, how many people in the world are willing to go to prison?"

The sleepy insect said: "I'm used to living, and it's uncomfortable to go out." ”

Haibao said: "No, if Uncle Worm doesn't go out, then I won't go out either." ”

The sleepy insect said, "Am I going to harm you?"

Haibao said: "Of course not, it's just that I went out, but Uncle Worm is still suffering here, I ......"

"You can't bear it? If you want to make me happy, do something for me when you go out. ”

Haibao said: "As long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

Unexpectedly, the sleepy insect was speechless for a long time, and without saying what it was, Haibao asked anxiously, "Uncle sleepy worm, what do you want me to do?"

The sleepy insect said, "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

On this day, Hypertherm thought about the words of the sleepy worm, and the thought of knowing about it overshadowed the thought of going out. He asked the sleepy bug several times, but the sleepy bug just wouldn't answer. Haibao pondered in his heart: "Could it be that what Uncle Sleepy Worm wants me to do is particularly difficult, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it? Or is there something else that is difficult to say? By the way, Uncle Sleepy Worm must have to do more than one thing, but I don't know which one to do for him." ”

Thinking of this, he said to the sleepy insect: "Uncle sleepy insect, do you have several things to do but don't know which one for me to do? ”

The sleepy insect said: "There is only one thing, but this matter is extremely secret, you must not tell others." ”

Haibao said: "Okay, I wrote it down." ”

But he saw the sleepy insect slowly sitting on the ground, his palms slightly bulging into a circle, slowly winding around his chest, and a fireball slowly appeared, the fire was controlled by him, glowing with the light of Youlan, which seemed to be burning stronger and stronger, but it did not rush outward. But seeing that the hands were encircling faster and faster, the fireball was getting brighter and brighter, and just as Haibao was dazzled, the hands suddenly closed together, and the light of the fireball disappeared in an instant. When the sleepy insect spread out his hands, there was no fireball, and he saw a crystal clear white jade wrench in his hand.

The wrench glowed brightly, and a picture of the Big Dipper was clearly visible on it.

Haibao was stunned, and suddenly the sleepy worm grabbed the back of his neck, and with a wave of his big hand, he put the white jade wrench into his mouth, and slapped his throat, and the white jade wrench slipped into his stomach. It all happened so quickly that by the time the wrench fell into his stomach, Haibao understood what had happened.

"Uncle Worm, you ......"

Before Haibao finished speaking, the sleepy insect smiled, "Don't be afraid, this thing is only temporarily stored in your body." After you go out, go to Lingshan, find the mountain owner Qiu Lichuan, help me bring some words to her, remember, you must tell Qiu Lichuan himself. ”

Haibao was taken aback and said, "Lingshan, I heard that the people on Lingshan can cultivate the way of immortals, is it true?"

The sleepy insect smiled bitterly: "The way of cultivating immortals? Maybe it used to be, but now it's just a legend in the mouths of the people." ”

Haibao said: "Since Uncle Sleepy Worm knows the people of Lingshan, then Uncle You must not be an ordinary person, no wonder Uncle is extraordinary." I've lived with my uncle for so long, and I didn't even know that there was an immortal right in front of me. ”

The sleepy insect said, "Alright, boy, don't put a high hat on me." If I were really that godly, I wouldn't live in this kind of place. For the sake of your two years in prison with me, I entrust you with this glorious mission, and I hope that you will complete it well and live up to my trust. ”

Haibao nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best." After thinking about it, he pointed to his stomach again and asked, "Then, this thing won't be pulled out in two days, right?"

The sleepy worm laughed and said, "Stinky boy, it's easy to say, don't talk about pulling it out, if you don't use the spell to unravel it first, you won't find it even if you cut open your stomach." ”

Haibao remembered the situation when the sleepy worm took out the white jade wrench, nodded embarrassedly, and asked, "Then what is the spell that was taken out?"

The sleepy insect shook his head and said, "It won't do you any good if you know this, and the mountain lord will take it out when the time comes." ”

Hypertherm only felt that there were many mysteries in this, and it was not good to ask again, so he had to give up.

Haibao asked again: "I don't know what the Qiu Mountain Lord looks like, don't recognize the wrong person." ”

The sleepy insect was speechless, as if caught in the memory of the past. With a long sigh, she said, "She should be a graceful and luxurious lady now." ”

Haibao thought that Qiu Lichuan was a man, but he didn't expect it to be a noblewoman, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

The sleepy insect didn't pay attention to his small movements, his expression recovered, and he said in a low voice: "You have to memorize the following paragraph word by word." After a pause, he continued: "At the beginning of heaven and earth, good and evil did not come out. Tigers, leopards, jackals, hungry and carrion-hungry. The gods are in turmoil, and people and ghosts are on the same path. Mao Yu scales, I don't know its owner. The stars and the moon are turning, and the vicissitudes of life. The young turtle is a human being, a chivalrous and an immortal. Calling for wind and rain, summoning spirits, punishing demons and demons, and sacrificing blood to the sky. The six roots are pure, no desire, no thought, no joy, no hatred, no care, no heart......"

Haibao was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Wait, Uncle Worm, what is this talking about, why can't I understand a word?"

The sleepy worm laughed, "It's a spell, don't care what it means, just remember it." After speaking, I read it from the beginning, read a sentence, and let Haibao remember a sentence. The spell seemed to make little sense, it seemed to be a patchwork of pieces, so it was very difficult to remember. There were hundreds of words in total, but it took Hypertherm two full days to memorize them.

That night, as soon as it got dark, Hypertherm became a little nervous. He sat cross-legged against the wall, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself, occasionally sneaking his eyes at the guard. The sleepy worm just looked at him and smiled, like a nobody. After a while, the jailer who guarded at night came to change shifts, and the jailer who guarded during the day yawned and left. After a while, the oil lamp gradually dimmed, and a large spark of light came into shape, and the flame jumped and jumped, and the jailer began to yawn as he looked at the lamp. The sleepy bug patted Hypertherm with his hand, and Hypertherm knew that his time had come and began to prepare to escape, but Hypertherm was afraid of alarming the jailer and did not dare to move.

I saw the sleepy insect move to the corner of the wall, grope all over the grass shop, pick up a piece of grass, pinch the head and tail into a slender empty tube, and then put the empty straw tube on his lips and gently blow it in the direction of the jailer, only to see a trace of white gas coming out of the empty straw tube, floating towards the jailer, the jailer's head sank straight down, and in a moment he lay on the table and snored.

The sleepy insect whispered, "It's okay." Motioning for Hypertherm to open the cell door and go out. Seeing that Haibao was still hesitating, he said, "Don't worry, he won't wake up even if it thunders now." ”

Hypertherm walked to the cell door, picked up the chain that locked the door with both hands, and pulled it hard, breaking it in the middle. Haibao glanced at the jailer, and sure enough, he was still lying on the table, not moving in the slightest. Haibao was overjoyed and quietly walked out.

Hai Bao walked out of the cell door and turned eastward, as the sleepy worm said before, and he expected that there must be someone guarding outside, so he walked cautiously, for fear of being discovered, but he didn't meet anyone. He was surprised, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly turned to a courtyard, and sure enough, he found a dry well in the northwest corner of the courtyard. He looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he slowly lowered himself and jumped into the well. The well is two feet wide, and although he has eaten in the past two years and is relatively thin, his bones have developed very tall, so he feels that the space is narrow when he walks down the well, and he can't use his hands and feet, which is very laborious. Fortunately, the walls of the well were made of staggered bricks, and there were about an inch of space between each brick, and he climbed these gaps with his feet, carefully barely able to descend, and finally moved to the bottom of the well step by step.

When he arrived at the bottom of the well, it was dark, and he couldn't see his fingers, and he remembered that it was the middle of the night, and there was no light at the bottom of the well, and he didn't bring any tools for making fire. Looking up, I saw a hazy moonlight slanting in from the wellhead, which made the bottom of the well even more eerie and terrifying.

He calmed his mind and groped for the ground with his hands, only to touch some branches and dead leaves, and a wave of moisture came to his nose. I wanted to go up and look for a tool for lighting, but I was afraid that someone would find out, so I had to slowly grope with my hands again.

After groping for a while, I found that the bottom of the well seemed to be in the shape of a gourd belly, much wider than the top, and the body moved freely. Inch by inch, he groped slowly, hoping to find the stone button or anything that the sleepy worm had said he could writhe.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his hand, as if he had been bitten by something, and he fell down, leaning against the wall of the well, and was smacked by something behind his back. He didn't care about the pain in his hand, he hurriedly touched the thing on the wall of the well behind him, twisted it hard, seemed to feel a slight movement, and his heart was ecstatic, and when he twisted it hard, he felt a lot looser. I tried a little more force, but I didn't see any passages open. So I tried to carefully turn the button from side to side, and after a while, there was a muffled sound of stones grinding, and a door opened in the darkness, revealing an even darker hole in front of me. The hole seemed to engulf him like a terrifying mouth.

He didn't know what was in the hole, and he didn't know if it was the passage that the sleepy worm said could get out, so he hesitated and stepped into the big dark mouth.

The road in the cave was unusually flat, and at first he was cautious and tentative, but then his heart became more and more relaxed, and his steps became faster. At least here, it's not as scared as it is outside, constantly worrying about being caught. There was silence in the darkness, except for the sound of him groping his way forward.

I don't know how long I walked like this, but suddenly I saw a faint light in front of me. Haibao was overjoyed, thinking that she was almost at the exit, and couldn't help but speed up her pace and walk towards the light. The closer I got, I saw that it was not an exit, it was a bigger stone house, there was a stone table and a stone bench in the stone house, and there was a fist-sized night pearl on the stone table, and the bright light was emitted by this night pearl.

By the light of the Night Pearl, Haibao looked around and found that there was a stone door in the stone house, and the stone door was very tightly integrated with the surrounding walls, leaving no gaps. The door was not locked, and he tried to push it, and with a little force it opened, and he was astonished at what he saw: he saw that the stone house was full of gold, silver, and jewels, and shone with all kinds of light, illuminating the whole house with gold and splendor. There are hundreds of pearls in a single night, all of which are much larger than those outside the stone house. All kinds of pearls, gemstones, gold and silver, etc., are countless. Hypertherm had never seen so many treasures, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. It is no wonder that he had grown so big, that the largest pearl he had ever seen was the size of a finger's belly found in a shell, and that his father had only bought a few taels of silver in exchange for months of fishing.

Hypertherm wanted to take some home to his parents so that Daddy wouldn't have to go out fishing. So he picked up some silver and gold and put them in the pockets of his clothes. Thinking about it, I don't know who hid so many treasures here, is it Uncle Du's? Thinking about it, he sat down and said to himself: "Yes, whose treasure must be hidden here for fear of being stolen, it must be Uncle Du's, otherwise how would Uncle Du know about such a secret passage?

Out of the stone house where the treasure was hidden, I felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I thought that it might be caused by the thin air inside, so I sat on the stone bench and rested for a while, felt better, and got up to continue walking. Seeing that it was dark again, and I didn't know how long it would be in the dark, I picked up the night pearl on the stone table, held it in front of me, and strode forward.

With the night pearl lighting, I walked faster than before, and I also had confidence in my heart. But this passage seemed to have no end, zigzags, and after walking for a long time, I still did not see the exit, and I turned many corners, and I did not know where I was, and I wondered in my heart, and I really doubted that I would be trapped in this deep and dark underground forever. Haibao only felt that her stomach was gradually getting hungry, and her legs were weak, so she sat down to rest for a while, then stood up and continued to walk forward. The hand gradually felt pain, with the night pearl to take a look, the back of the hand black, swollen up and high, was bitten by an unknown poisonous insect when entering the hole, I didn't pay attention to it at that time, and I didn't feel pain, but at the moment I felt pain and heat, and the itch was unbearable. Resisting the wound, he picked up an angular stone from the ground, punctured the swollen spot with the sharp part of the stone, sent out a lot of blood, and then tore a piece of cloth from the placket of his coat and wrapped it around his hand so that it would not become inflamed. Tired, he sat down to rest again, the passage was silent, only the sound of his own breathing could be heard, as if he was the only one left in the world, surrounded by boundless darkness, and only the light of the night pearl illuminated a small part of the world around him. For the first time in his life, he felt loneliness, and the boundless waves of loneliness came at him like a raging wave. He knew that what he needed most at the moment was to overcome this loneliness, so he kept a belief in his heart: go forward and get out of here as soon as possible. Sustained by this belief, he stood up and continued to walk, never daring to stop and rest.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly I heard a "squeak" sound. Taken aback, Hypertherm followed the sound to see a pair of small, round green eyes looking at him. He couldn't help but raise his vigilance, his whole body was on alert, he raised the night pearl, and took a few steps forward, but the little eyes ran away at once, making a series of sounds, and he realized that it was just a mouse. At this time, he couldn't help but be happy, there was a mouse indicating that the exit was almost there, and this place should not be far from the ground. Thinking like this, his whole body was full of strength again, and he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the passage gradually narrowed and sloped upward. After walking for a while, I saw a glimmer of light. Walking further, I turned a corner, and suddenly the wisps of bright sunlight came in, which was really shocking. He took the Night Pearl in his arms, and walked a few steps to the entrance of the cave, where he found that it was covered with vines. Pick up the vines and plants, look out, only feel the sun is dazzling, stand for a while, get used to it, only to see clearly that the entrance of the cave is on a cliff, look at it, the cliff is straight, there is almost no slope, the top is the blue sky, the bottom is a small river, the grass and trees on both sides of the river are thick, the branches are luxuriant, the purple and red, a beautiful scenery, it is really open-minded, refreshing.

Although the scenery is beautiful, but after a while he is worried: such a steep cliff, he is in the middle position, he can't go up or down, how should this be good? Seeing that this cliff is full of green vines, he has the intention to climb down the rattan, but he is afraid that the rattan is not strong enough, and if he accidentally falls down, he will be miserable. Unless there was really no other way, he didn't want to take the risk, so he decided to think of another way. He sat at the entrance of the cave, admiring the scenery outside, thinking and thinking, and had no idea for a long time. Before I knew it, my legs were stretched out of the hole, shaking and playing.

As I was thinking, I heard a crisp birdsong in the air, which was very pleasant to the ear. I looked up and saw a big bird flying from the sky. In the distance, I could only see the bird in a brilliant color, with two broad wings that deftly instigated, and several long, thin and multicolored feathers dragging on its tail.

It's beautiful! That's the first thing Hypertherm thinks when she sees the bird.

What kind of bird is this?

The bird flew in the air, shining in the sunlight and exuding a beautiful halo around it. Its beautiful cry is as beautiful as fairy music, which makes people's hearts clear and pure, and they forget the distractions and mundane thoughts of the world.
