Text Chapter 3 Mo Lao points out the maze
In the days since Mo Lao lived in the village, many children have learned to write and recognize, and Shizi has learned more than other children.
Not only can he read and write, but he also knows a lot of musical instruments such as flute, guzheng, and flute.
Mo Lao taught him a lot of principles of being a man, what should be done and what should not be done.
I can't wait to teach him everything I have learned, and the stone will live up to his expectations, but there is a problem that once I learn it, I don't review it.
Mo Lao asked him why, and the stone replied, "Mo Lao taught me that I will not take it out again if I put it in my heart, and I don't need to study it anymore."
During the Mo Lao period, he also taught the stone to use a dagger and some martial arts, "When you open your mind, maybe in this world, knowledge is useful, but martial arts can at least protect you."
Shi Zi was holding a wooden dagger in his hand, which was made by Ma Wuqi at the request of Mo Lao
Mo Lao told Shi Zi to teach him the dagger move called the Life Protection Style, which was also taught to him by a martial artist when Mo Lao was a child.
The days passed day by day, and Mo Lao spent a few years in the village, and the past few years have also been smooth and rainy, and it is rare to have a good life.
But there were cases of arresting soldiers every year, and each time a few villagers were captured and a lot of food was requisitioned.
On this day, Shizi took the little friends to catch fish and lassoed a few hares, the swarthy body was thin and taller, carrying a bamboo basket fish in one hand, and a long pole in the other hand, and a few rabbits were tied with ropes on the long pole.
Striding in front, there was a wooden dagger and a small flute at his waist, and behind him were Erwang, Xiaochai, Dunzi and Dogdan.
But the two little girls were not there, because when the girls reached this age, they could not go out, and they would be married in two or three years.
Everyone is almost like a stone, carrying a full harvest on their shoulders,
The five friends walked into the village and went home, only Shizi took the rabbit and the fish to Mo's house first
"Yo, yes, we have a lot of pebbles every time, it's really a good fishing and hunting hand from childhood to adulthood" Ma Wuqi smiled and reached out to help unload the rabbits and fish.
Shi Zi immediately ran into Mo Lao's house, where Mo Lao was stroking the piano and the sound was beautiful, and Shi Zi stood quietly and listened for a long time.
The sound of the piano stopped, Mo Lao stood up and said, "You kid didn't help the adults in the field, but went to catch game."
"I'm very greedy, I feel uncomfortable not eating game for a few days," Shi Zi smiled innocently.
Mo Lao looked at Shi Zi and looked at it, "Shi Zi, you are fourteen years old, aren't you afraid of being arrested and sent to be a soldier?"
Shi Zi scratched his head and replied, "I'm also afraid, but what can I do, I've never been out of the village, and I don't know what to do, Mo Lao give me a note, I still want to live happily."
"It's all war there, hey......" Mo Lao sighed, pacing back and forth in the room several times.
Then his eyes lit up, "I'll tell you a story, when I was traveling in the territory of Yue, I heard an old man telling a personal experience of himself"
"One day the old man was walking on the forest road, and suddenly he saw a flaming red bird, with a dark red and purple crown feather on its head, a pair of small wings under a pair of wings, and four golden feathers longer than his body on the tail feathers, the beauty of which cannot be expressed in words."
"The old man looked very carefully and carefully, and at this time three young people came out of a big tree, all about twenty years old, all wearing a navy blue brocade robe, and the cuffs were decorated with a pair of fish."
"At this time, the red bird pecked with its beak on a big stone, and the big stone cracked open a small gray worm in the stone, and the small insect was no trace in an instant, and when the old man reacted, the red bird was already standing on the hairpin of one of the three young people, and the mouth was clearly holding this and that worm."
Then a younger young man walked up to the old man and bowed slightly, and when the old man looked up after returning the salute, he saw a white light in the young man's face and eyes. The old man turned over and fell to the ground waiting to wake up and it was already sunset, the old man got up and touched the big bag on his head, it hurt, and then he looked at the ground lying on the ground, and there was a stone under the bag of soil."
"I remember this thing, maybe the old man hit his head against the stone and remembered, there are a few woodcutters around who also have such a story, but they are all vague memories to tell, but this is a true story, because the old man is famous in the local area, he is a person who never speaks falsely, and he is very admired by everyone, this is the story of meeting the immortals," Mo Lao still recalled it after speaking
"Mo Lao Mo Lao, is this the existence of immortals in this world, is there still that red bird in the tree?" Shi Zi tilted his head and asked back.
Mo Lao walked to the bookcase without squeaking, found it in the pile of bamboo slips, took out a coarse cloth roll after a while, and beckoned the stone to come over.
The cloth roll is unfolded, and there are many drawings and characters inside.
Mo Lao pointed to a small bird with his finger, which is the same as in the story, "This bird is called Luanwei Fire Feather Bird, this is the plaything of the immortals, it will report the news, it will hunt for treasures, and it will help the immortals fight."
Shi Zi's eyes were wooden, look at the picture, look at Mo Lao, and then look at the picture, and then look at Mo Lao.
"What is this, you have never shown me this thing, Mo Lao, I have seen all your bamboo slips"
Mo Lao said, "This cloth scroll was also given to me by my teacher, so that I have a fairy in my heart, and I am in awe of things and things in heaven and earth.
At this time, Shizi suddenly remembered that every time he dreamed, he saw the lines of writing on the walls of the oval room.
"I am a disciple of Yuya Pavilion to see the treasure, but in my heart every day to watch the treasure and guard the treasure, the heart of the greedy thinking of the fairy treasure is fighting day by day, one day with the token to take the treasure, the heart can not but the hand has held the purple and blue Tibetan stone, injected into the spirit of the five elements of the high-grade elf stone and more than 100 gas crystals, flying flower wind sword and a few pig dragon hamstrings, the four soul beast fairy incense burner, the phoenix tail moon shadow sword, the dragon mirror jade knife, I cleverly escaped from the pavilion but was tracked by the Yuya Divine Needle for thousands of miles to be seriously injured, the dying person abandoned the stone in the river, released the rain god spell to wash away the hidden stone and wait for the destined person to get, but remember the treasure do not want to reveal the world, otherwise there will be a disaster of death”。
The story is linked to the handwriting on the wall, Shi Zi was convinced, a little excited, his eyes looked at Mo Lao without blinking, and then said, "Can you tell me to take a good look at the cloth scroll?"
The next day, Shizi got up early in the morning and ran to Mo's house to continue reading the pictures and texts in the cloth scroll.
Shizi's father knew that Mo Lao was going to ask Shizi to avoid the army, and he didn't want his son to never return, he was afraid that the youngest son would follow in the footsteps of his two elder brothers, as long as he walked out of the village and lived well in the world.
Shi Zi looked at it seriously in Mo Lao's house, and the fighting methods of the immortals were written in this cloth scroll, the immortals flew on fairy beasts, and all kinds of fairy beasts and fairy birds were all kinds of fairy worlds.
Peculiar and interesting to see and hear, unrestrained travel between the world and the world.
Seeing that there was still the wine and food of the immortals at the end, Shi Zi's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the food, and he imagined everything, and suddenly looked at Mo Lao and said, "How can Mo Lao be an immortal, I also want to be like them, it's really enviable." ”
Mo Lao laughed and said, "I also want to be an immortal, but who can answer how you do it, you can try, even if it doesn't work, you can avoid this disaster and try your luck in the woods of Yueguo."
Mo Lao took out the map and put it on the table, and in the past few years, Mo Lao's cultivation stone has already been able to read the map.
Min country in the corner of the map, the area is not big or small, from Min country to Yue country to go to several countries, Shi Zi looked at Yue country is particularly excited to think about going to Yue country heart flew out.
"Then how am I going, I won't be able to get there for a few years."
Mo Lao nodded and said, "There is a caravan in the neighboring village that passes through Yue Guo all the way, and I will be much more relieved to take you there." Ma Wuqi! Ma Wuqi! Come in and have something to discuss."
Ma Wuqi has been in the house for the past few years, and he has learned very much like a scribe by Mo Lao's side, but it seems that something is missing.
Entering the house, Ma Wuqi smiled and replied, "Mo Lao, what is the matter, I'll do it for you," Ma Wuqi agreed with a smile.
"You go to find a caravan, I'm going to ask Shizi to go to Yue Guo to do some business, and also go out to see the world," Mo Lao said slowly
"Mo Lao and Young lied to me, you like stones, this kid is afraid of being arrested and going to the army, right, okay, I'll go," Ma Wuqi is also a shrewd person who sees things a little accurately, and after saying a word, he turned around and walked out.
Mo Lao got up and walked into the bedroom, and after a while, he walked to the stone with a small cloth bag in his hand, and reached out to grab a pearl in the bag, a gold ingot, a few taels of silver, and a handful of copper coins.
"You know how to use the money, and the money can be exchanged for any goods sold and eaten, and this pearl is equal to ten ingots of gold. When you go out, you must know that money must not be leaked."
"I'll give you all this, but you put it away carefully, and this bamboo dagger, and this pass sword," Mo Lao said to Shi Zi seriously
"By the way, I also drew a map for you, and the bamboo lattice box when I came, you carried it on your back," Mo Lao added.
Shi Zi took out a bamboo dagger, and it was the same as a piece of bamboo without pulling it out, and then looked at the iron plate that looked like the head of a sword, with a word engraved on it, and a tiger face engraved on the back.
Reaching out and picking up the map, it turned out to be made of animal skin, and it was hotted with an iron pen.
Shi Zi held the map in his hand and looked at Mo Lao with a smile and said, "I will arrive in Yueguo, and then go to learn the immortal law, and then come back to pick up your old man, as well as my parents."
Mo Lao waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to, and turned around again to pick up a scribe's robe on the chair, with the word Mo on the cuff.
There is a fish pattern around the word, and he handed it to Shizi and said, "Put it on and take a look, when someone asks you outside, you will report my name, and take out the token, the officers and soldiers will not embarrass you, you are my protégé of the letter, remember not to panic and deal with it calmly"
Shi took off his clothes and changed into the clothes given by Mo Lao, the length of the clothes was appropriate, then put on his pants, stood on the ground barefoot, Mo Lao shook his head again, and then took out two pairs of cloth shoes and handed them to Shizi.
Put on your shoes and turn left and right beside Mo Lao a few times to call Mo Lao himself, Mo Lao nodded slightly.
Mo Lao took out a peach wood hairpin from his waist and gave it to the stone and said, "Go home, come back tomorrow"
The stone bowed and thanked Mo Lao, took the things Mo Lao gave him and went home
On the way home, he was seen by his friends and surrounded him, "Shizi, you wear this as if you have changed someone, what are you going to do?"
Shi Zi smiled and said, "I want to go out of the village, I want to go outside to take a look, and send a letter to Mo Lao." Then he ran home in a puff of smoke.
Friends, you look at me, I'll look at you, and then we all go home.
As soon as he entered the house, his father sat on the bench at the door, and when he saw the stone dressed up in the door, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Yo, is this still my stone, like a little scholar."
Shizi's mother was very happy to see it, but there was a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but no one noticed, and after entering the house, Shizi begged her mother to sew the map on the cloth shirt.
Then he asked his mother to tie the hair in a bun and then put the peach wood hairpin on.
The mother gently touched the head of the stone.
Shizi lowered his head and watched with the bamboo dagger, and said to himself, "It's very thin and sharp, a good dagger, a good guy is different from a wooden dagger."
At this time, the mother's tears were silently left but Shizi didn't see it, and after the father entered the house, Shizi's mother wiped away her tears.
The father took out two pairs of straw sandals and handed them to the stone.
"Father, can you put this in your shoes so that people can't find out?
Shizi's father thought for a while, took out a hammer, flattened the broken silver, and stuffed it into the straw soles, and then thickened the soles.
The copper coins were stuffed into four thick bamboo tubes in the bamboo box, then plugged with grass, and one of the most precious pearls was stuffed into the belt of stones, and placed with the warm green stones.
Shi Zi held the gold ingot in his hand, "Put it there, I'll return the gold to Mo Lao, these are enough," Shi Zi touched the corner of his clothes and said.
