On that day, Shi put out the nine-star layer for no reason, attracting the wrath of the nine-day god thunder, and the Cangyun Valley was split into a big hole like a crack in the ground from the belly of the valley to the cave where they were hiding. He left with his little burden, but all the little demons in the entire Cangyun Valley were trembling and scared to death.
No one noticed that the crack that was split open by the lightning slowly released a faint black air that was almost invisible.
Shi Wudu went straight down the mountain, like a countryman entering the city, seeing everything new and interesting. He was standing in the middle of a bazaar, and he had long forgotten about "Jianghua" and "Hehua" scattered people. He only felt that he had never seen so many people crowding shoulder to shoulder, men, women, old and young, each with their own shapes and pavilions. Terraces and pavilions, bluestone roads, all so magical.
When I was a child, I heard Master say "big thousand worlds" and "all living beings", but I only heard the sound and didn't understand the meaning, but now I understand it.
Shi Wuduan carried the burden behind him, the Cuiping Bird on his shoulders, his eyes were darting around looking around, it was almost not enough, his cheeks were bulging, and he was biting a hot steamed bun in his mouth - although this bun was only The ones I bought casually from roadside stalls are also human fireworks, and they are many times more fragrant than the clear soup and watery porridge and side dishes that the old man eats every day.
Shi Wudu ate one in three mouthfuls, but it was still not enough. He rubbed his belly and thought in his heart, it would be great if Xiaoion came out with me.
Afterwards, his attention was immediately attracted by other things, and he felt that he was not in such a hurry to find Jianghua Sanren, so he happily let himself herd sheep.
Shi Wuduan didn't know that the Jianghua Sanren he was looking for at this time was on Jiulu Mountain. No one knows when and how he came up the mountain, as if he really came here on a moonlit night with the breeze, the lower levels of Jiulu Mountain were unaware of it.
Daozu was sitting cross-legged beside the huge astrolabe in the yard. He was not thinking about anything, but just hung one hand on the astrolabe, letting a few strands of star threads playfully wrap around his fingertips, and put them beside him. There was a small stove with a jug of wine boiling on it.
When Jianghua Sanren appeared behind him, Daozu didn't even lift his head, he pointed to one side and said, "Here you are, sit down."
Jiang Hua was not rigid. He lifted the hem of his robe and sat on the ground next to him. He took a cup and took the wine pot from the stove. What about the monkey cub, paid out?"
Daozu lowered his eyes and twirled the star silk on his fingertips. He had practiced for a hundred years, but he looked like a middle-aged man, but he quickly withered away in just a few days. Take a closer look at his side face. His long eyebrows were mixed with a little gray.
Daozu said: "The child of Wuyuan, I entrusted you with a few years."
Jianghua Sanren seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed and swallowed the remaining half glass of wine. The two of them were silent for a moment, and then he asked, "I came from the back mountain valley and saw a man from afar. The tiankeng seems to have just been dug out, what's going on?"
Daozu smiled wryly and said nothing.
Jiang Hua shook his head and said, "Three-year-old is old, seven-year-old is old, you little disciple dared to light the ancestral hall with black fire at the age of seven, but now you are only ten years old, and you can make troubles enough to attract lightning to strike him. How is it? With such a temperament, when he grows up, why not poke a hole for him that day?"
Daozu had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "In the future, I will rely on my immortal friends to discipline me a lot."
Jiang Hua said: "You have disciplined him for more than ten years, and you have disciplined him like this. How can I be able to take care of him well, and he doesn't have to live and sleep. It's good to grow up well. What discipline?"
He stretched his waist a lot, and said with a smile: "Whoever's child is entrusted to me to discipline, won't the more I manage it, the more crooked it will be?"
Daozu didn't say a word, he stood up suddenly, he quickly entangled a few star threads in his outstretched palm, and then the light in the astrolabe surged, and there seemed to be a small whirlwind among the slowly moving stars, shaking Daozu's blue robe sleeve drum full.
Jiang Hua followed his gaze, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help saying: "This is..."
Daozu's whole body was shrouded in the light of the stars in the astrolabe, and he turned his head when he heard the words. There was no sadness or joy on his backlit face, but his eyes were extremely deep.
Jiang Hua's eyes widened, the lazy look just now was gone, and he couldn't help standing up, looking down at the messed up astrolabe, and couldn't help but glance at Daozu, hesitating for a while, before being cautious He asked cautiously: "If I'm not mistaken, this is... the sign of Taihang's impending collapse, isn't it?"
"The stars are chaotic, the Taixing is collapsing, and the demons are rampant..." Daozu suddenly closed his eyes, and his raised arms hung down. The star threads that were originally wrapped around his hands suddenly dried up and fell down one after another. The sea returned to silence, all the light dimmed, countless stars were like real gravel, and a trace of water-like coolness slowly enveloped this small courtyard on the top of Jiulu Mountain in the night, "Immortal friend, I can't think of you and me in my lifetime." , I am so lucky to be in such a chaotic world where the eight barrens are broken."
Jianghua Sanren was stunned for a while, and his eyes suddenly moved from the dead astrolabe to Daozu: "You..."
Daozu raised his hand to stop the voice below him, shook his fingers that seemed to be thinner than before, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Don't talk too much, this is fate."
He turned to Jianghua Sanren, looked at him for a while, and then said: "You Xianyou are people born in this world, so you just look on coldly, but we are already out of control."
Jiang Hua forced a smile and asked, "Why, are you going to give me your precious apprentice? Are you willing this time?"
Daozu said: "It's not bad to let the wild cranes wander as you do, without hindrance from the world. It's just that I see that child, in terms of dexterity, there has been no one who has surpassed him in Jiulu Mountain for hundreds of years, but he is a little less transparent. It's not great wisdom. I'm afraid of his over-the-top cleverness. Well, if it doesn't work... In the future, you will take care of him for my sake, and that's all. "
Jiang Hua was taken aback.
I only heard Daozu continue to say: "Everyone has his own fate. If he was born in response to the calamity, no one can pull him out."
Let's talk about Shi Wuduan, he has been down the mountain for more than half a month, and he finally had enough fun. When he remembered that he still had to find Jiang Hua, he spent all his troubles. It was fun for him to watch everything, and it was the first time he could buy things for himself, and he would not be calculating when spending money, and he didn't know that money was good, just like a boy who wasted money, and soon he lost his fortune and had no money to live in a store.
Fortunately, he didn't pay much attention, so he sneaked into the village's ancestral hall that night.
Most of the clan ancestral halls at the entrance of the village are closed. There is no major discussion among the clan on weekdays, and no one usually comes in, but this ancestral hall has no one to watch. Shi Wudu took advantage of the night to climb over the wall like a thief He went in and walked around in a circle. The weeds on the ground were higher than his waist. The whole ancestral hall was gloomy, and he didn't know how to be afraid. He also covered the "loyalty, filial piety and fierceness" on both sides with countless dust cobwebs The big character shook his head for a moment, then moved the incense table, blew on the ashes on the wooden table, and lay down.
Don't forget to pat Cuipingniao's head, and said in a low voice: "Shh, don't make any noise, be careful if someone catches you and goes back to eat meat."
The big bird that had already started to grow new hair gave him a disgusted look, shrunk, shrunk itself into a meat ball, and fell at his feet.
One person and one bird just fell asleep in such a big way. In the middle of the night, Shi Wuyuan turned over. He was growing up, and sometimes his bones throbbed at night, and he struggled unconsciously. Yes, he kicked him off the wooden table.
The big bird fluttered its wings in fright, and at last it didn't ask the bluestone ground to slap the bird's face flat. It flew up to the incense table angrily, and squeaked a few times at Shi Wuduan, who knew that this bastard Sleeping like a dead pig, I have no intention of waking up.
Cuipingniao had no choice but to change to the direction above his head, nestled down again in the place of Shi Wuduan's shoulder socket, and then buried his head in the wings, and then rested, when he heard the wooden door of the ancestral hall creak, obviously there was no The wind moved by itself.
The Cuiping bird shivered and straightened its neck, and then the sound of "squeak" came. Its newly grown hairs exploded, and it desperately pecked at Shi Wuduan's body, and then flapped its wings on his head, vibrating Shi Wuyuan woke up.
Shi Wudu rubbed his eyes in a daze, and looked at the bird that suddenly went crazy in the middle of the night for no reason, and saw the kingfisher flying high into the air, making a sharp cry. He frowned, squinted his eyes and looked towards the door, and saw a few pale fingers on the door, and an old woman in white came in as if floating.
The old woman didn't even look at him, she went straight to the incense table, put back the incense burner that Shi Wuduan had moved aside, Shi Wudu hurriedly shrank back, moved the place for her, she wiped the incense burner with great care, and put it on Xiang, so I bowed down.
Shi Wudu rubbed his nose, feeling as if he had been worshiped by an old lady, and felt very sorry, so he jumped off the table and waited for her to finish.
Only then did the old woman turn to him, a pair of dull eyes fell on him, those eyes were extremely cold, Shi Wuyuan shook for a while, feeling as if cold water had been splashed on his face. He brushed his hair rather heartlessly, smiled, and said, "That... mother-in-law, boy, I didn't mean to break in, I'm really ashamed... Hehehehe."
The weird old lady looked at him for a while, then waved to him, and said hoarsely: "Come."
Shi Wuduan followed her obediently, Cuipingniao was anxious to go to the room, pulled back desperately with his clothes in his mouth, and scratched Shi Wuduan's hair with his claws. Shi Wuduan hugged his head and shrank his neck, flicked his hands twice, pinched Cuipingniao's neck, imitated Bai Li's appearance and stuffed it into his arms, saying: "Don't make trouble."
Fog gradually began to rise in the yard, and Cuipingniao felt that bursts of cloudy air had condensed into a big mouth, and the ghostly old woman was leading them into that big mouth.
Shi took two steps forward for no reason, and asked, "Grandma, where do you want me to go?"
The old lady stepped into the dark mouth and waved to him: "Come."
Shi Wuduan followed until here, then stopped, looked up at the little old woman who was only a little taller than him, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: "Ghost mother-in-law, I read in the book that you are the gate of hell. I am a living soul, I cannot enter."
The old woman's face changed when she heard the words, her face was ferocious, and her complexion was ashen. Shi Wudu still didn't know how to be afraid, and cheerfully acted as if she was watching a monkey show. Cuipingniao asked solemnly: "Grandmother, you want to lure the living soul into the gate of hell, are you trying to seize the house?"
The figure of the ghost mother-in-law jumped a few feet, her description was terrific, she was really green-faced and fangs, she rushed towards Shi Wuduan quickly, Shi Wuduan dexterously jumped back with the kingpin bird in her arms, and dodged it, but her mouth was full He still said in a long-winded manner: "Mother-in-law, listen to me explaining to you. I am a virgin and a cultivator. The yang energy is too strong. Even if you take my body, you won't last long. .”
The ghost mother-in-law had never seen such a confident child, and she couldn't help but paused, looking at Shi Wudu with a strange expression. Shi Wuduan yawned, and said: "Let's see it this way, I slept in your clan's ancestral hall, um... it's considered disrespectful, I'm sorry, you turned into a ghost, and you have always had obsessions in your previous life. Whatever you think, just say it, and I will finish it for you."
"What unfulfilled wish do you have?"
The ghost mother-in-law was stunned for a long time, hanging alone in mid-air, her mouth "hissing", after a while, Shi Wuduan finally heard clearly, what she said was the word "kill", and scratching her hair in distress, said : "Kill? Kill who? Ah, by the way, you have become a ghost, and you must not remember. Oh, I see you have been trapped in the Yangshi Sanjian for a hundred years, even if you have enemies, you will die seven or seven times." Eighty-eight, and besides, you can't remember it yourself, and you still miss it? Why don't you just reincarnate early... "
The ghost mother-in-law spit out her fangs and wanted to pounce on him.
Shi Wudu hurriedly took out the astrolabe from the small package on the side, and said, "Okay, okay, let me calculate the cause and effect for you, let's do the calculation."
Cuipingniao heard that he was going to calculate the cause and effect for the female ghost, and immediately rolled his eyes calmly, fell headfirst, and fainted.
Seeing that Shi pulled out the star line for no reason, the soft starlight shot out from the astrolabe, the ghost mother-in-law couldn't help but took a step forward, as if she was bewitched by something, she stretched out her hand to touch the white light, just The moment her fingers touched the white light, Shi Wuduan who was sitting there suddenly raised his head and made a face at her.
The ghost mother-in-law has been a ghost for many years, and she has always made faces to harm others. She has never been made faces by others, and she couldn't help being stupid for a moment. Through her body, the ghost mother-in-law let out a shrill cry, and within a moment, was turned into a wisp of green smoke by the astrolabe, and was sucked away by Xingzi.
After a while, the light dissipated. Shi Wudu patted the astrolabe, only to feel that the astrolabe whose light had dimmed after being struck by lightning once recovered a bit of vitality. Nian, it's true that you want to harm someone... Hey, it's the first time I saw a ghost, I didn't expect it to be so easy to deceive."
Cuipingniao woke up at first, but when he heard this sentence, he fainted from fright again. He was picked up by Shi Wuduan and put on his shoulder, with the astrolabe in his other hand, he slowly climbed up the incense table again, and made a call. Yawned and turned over to lie down again.
On the second day, the sun was high, so he got up, and when he looked up, he saw a person sitting on the futon in the ancestral hall, with his back to him, and at some point, the astrolabe in the bag came into the hands of that person.
Shi Wuduan rubbed his eyes, jumped off the wooden table, and cheered: "Senior Jianghua!"
Jianghua Sanren stroked his beard, turned around, and smiled at him in a fairy-like manner, only to see Shi Wuyuan yelling and running towards him, his excitement was beyond words, and he plunged into his arms.
Jiang Hua felt sore, thinking that the child would follow him in the future, he couldn't bear it, so he planned to act lovingly and reached out to touch the boy's soft hair. Unexpectedly, Shi Wudu raised his head with a moved expression. Said to him: "I found you, I don't have a penny left, if I can't find you again, I will drink the northwest wind!"
The raised hand of Jianghua Sanren froze in mid-air. Shi Wudu touched his belly, smiled brightly, bared his small white teeth, and said crisply, "Senior, buy me a Burn the donkey meat!"
