Chapter 8: flee

Views:

The thirteenth year of Dagan was a difficult year. I don't know how many people wrote down the year name of this year with blood.

From last winter to early spring, not a single snowflake or raindrop fell on the Huaijiang River, the granary of the world. The river bed receded a few feet, and some places even stopped flowing. There was a crack several feet wide in the ground, starved for thousands of miles, and the ten rooms were empty. After Governor Huaizuo wrote to the court, he hanged himself on the beam of his house for unknown reasons.

The land of Xianghuai River was flooded. The flood destroyed more than a dozen city walls, and the displaced people were all over the place. They ran endlessly, and seven or eight out of ten died on the way. Seven or eight-year-old girls with grass planted in their heads can buy and take away with a bucket of corn, and even healthy boys can line up to sell three buckets of rice.

Luanli people are not as good as Taiping dogs.

Although the imperial capital, Pingyang City, has never had a drop of rain, the sky is still dark for a month, as if a cauldron has been dunked three feet above people's heads, making people breathless. Some old people said that when they came out in the middle of the night and looked up, they knew that it was not a dark cloud, but countless wronged souls floating from all directions, and they wanted to come to the capital to complain to the emperor.

Natural disasters followed man-made disasters. A driver and a farmer rose up in northern Hunan. The imperial officers and soldiers sent to suppress the rebellion and bandits were still on the way, and countless people who could no longer survive responded from all directions. This continent that had been peaceful for too long began to enter. A new era - endless wars.

Of course, all of this had nothing to do with Shi Wuduan who was trapped on a hill in Sichuan.

The Cuiping bird he sent to deliver the letter never returned, so he was not in a hurry, thinking that the big stupid bird had a hollow belly and a small head, with only fat on its body, and it couldn't even fly as fast as Jianghua Sanren.

At first, Jiang Hua was worried that if he forcibly trapped the child in the mountains, he would throw a tantrum or something, but after watching for a long time, he found that Shi Wuduan seemed to be born with something less than others.

Legend has it that the child was still wrapped in swaddling clothes, and when he just learned to sit up, he would not be in a hurry if an adult snatched the toy from his hand. It was another child who would have been crying for a long time, but this kid just blinked his eyes, opened his mouth and said "Yeah", expressing that he wants to come back, and if he comes back, he will continue to play, or if he doesn't come back, he will take care of him Interest shifts to other toys.

It is said that Daozu's younger brother Banya Zhenren once experimented, snatching all the gadgets around him, just to see if he would cry, but the young master looked at him very puzzled, as if he didn't understand. Knowing what this bearded old man is doing, holding a lot of rattles and other gadgets, after being puzzled for a while, he hugged his feet and gnawed them with relish—you can’t take them away Bar

According to Jiang Hua's observation, Shi Wuduan is such a person - not anxious, not angry, not afraid.

There are many people in the world who are not surprised by favor or humiliation, who are unmoved by mountains and rivers before them, but most of them are sensible people who have experienced the ups and downs of the world and are used to seeing joys and sorrows. Shi Wuyuan is different, he is completely born. Not only does he have less tendons, but he is also very good at self-comfort. It’s okay to leave Jiulu Mountain, where he has lived for more than ten years. It’s good to go out for a play. Drink, it's not a big deal, the bird that delivers the letter flies out and never comes back, it's okay, the bird is too stupid, it's not a big deal to forgive it for the sake of Master raising it.

He's having fun on his own anyway, and he's very good at applying what he's learned.

When the weather starts to heat up, Shi Wuduan's hut is very cool, why

Hetong went in and took a look, almost turning his nose in anger. He saw that Shi Wuduan had tied a rope from the beam of the house, with a round basket attached to it, and a big fan tied in front of the basket. The round basket ran around desperately, and when the round basket turned, the fan swayed and fanned the wind, but the room was cool for him, and the rabbits ran so fast that they almost stuck out their tongues.

The big rabbit ran to Jiang Hua and cried, and Jiang Hua, who was following He Tong, took a closer look and found that the round basket had something else in it. It was a small Zhou Yuan array with six grids, and the stupid rabbits were obviously fascinated by it. I can only run desperately, but I can't get out.

Jiang Hua has seen through it, and if he doesn't look at Shi Wudu for a moment, he can make him make some moths. I don't know if he is trying to motivate himself to let him go, or if he is really innocent and just wants to have fun.

The "six rounds of active formation" is still an unsolvable formation, and the master of the formation will not let it go. Who can calculate the trajectories of all the stars on the ever-changing Nine Heavens? And every time the star orbit changes, all the formations and steps in the huge forest will have to change their arrangement, and they are changing all the time. Those who understand a little bit of star arithmetic will know that the huge amount of calculation is doubled. .

A mortal is only a few dozen years old in a lifetime, and the number of rice grains turned out twice on the chessboard cannot be counted, who can count them all

Jiang Hua just saw that he was very talented, so he planned to use this dense formation to stimulate him. He never expected him to really open this active formation in his dreams. He thought that he would take him out when he was a little older and calmed down. It's just that...

There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and it has been thousands of years in the world. I am afraid that if I go out at that time, everything on Jiulu Mountain will be different.

After half a year, Cuipingniao finally came back. Finally, it was covered with smooth and shiny feathers again, and it no longer looked like a bald chicken about to be roasted.

It's not that it delays too much, the main reason is that Jiulu Mountain is too far away from here. Although it is called "Fairy Sparrow", it has no supernatural powers at all. Throwing up blood, he didn't even care about being afraid of Bai Li, lay down in Huolian Cave for several days, and finally survived stumbling, and the way back flew even slower.

I don't know if it's because of Shi Wuduan's face, Bai Li is still polite to this rampant giant bird, he has nothing else to do, so he feeds it well for a while, and only puts it back after replying to the letter .

After that day, Bai Ziyi never appeared alone in front of Bai Li. The "mother and son" were estranged frighteningly even before, but after all, they had never had such an obvious cold war.

All the little monsters held their breaths and lowered their eyes when they entered the Fire Lotus Cave, fearing that they would harm the fish in the pond.

Bai Li's attitude became more and more unpredictable, as if in order to cooperate with Bai Ziyi, he just lived in seclusion.

Sometimes he can't figure out what he has done, all the living things in Cangyun Valley are afraid of him, even his legendary mother sometimes secretly looks at his back with a face of fear, so many years, He endured it and pretended not to see it.

"Am I a treacherous and evil person?" Bai Li has been puzzled by this for a long time, but even though he has no compassion, he has always been devoted to cultivating the Tao. What are they afraid of if he has caused half a share of bad karma

Even ordinary little demons and beasts also have their own caves, parents, brothers and clansmen depend on each other for life, only him. As far back as I can remember, Bai Ziyi, the titular mother, has never hugged him, even at that time he hadn't transformed into a human form, with fox ears still hanging on his head.

She didn't even want to pat him on the head once in a while, even if he made a mistake, she always forced herself to put on a pleasant face, carefully admonishing him.

No one dares to criticize his malice, but no one cares about his kindness.

Bai Li felt that for hundreds of years, he had lived like a different kind, and everyone was guarding against him—except Shi Wudu.

The Tianhu clan has a minor catastrophe once every five hundred years, and a major catastrophe once every thousand years. He has already endured the small catastrophe once, but Bai Li did not expect his big catastrophe to be so dangerous—ordinarily, he is just a little fox who has never been out of the mountains, has never been contaminated by karma, good and evil, the way of heaven is fair, and the catastrophe cannot pass the test , who would have thought that when he came to him, the thunder after thunder really wanted to shatter his three souls and seven souls.

Bai Li suddenly felt hopeless in his heart. Others were afraid of him, so he comforted himself by saying "there is another secret". Does this mean that even God thinks that he should not be born in this world

He asked himself that he had never done harm to nature, could it be that the cycle of cause and effect is a lie? Since Bai Li had already been born in this world, what right did they have to ask him to die for no reason? This thought came up suddenly, and most of his practice was knocked out by the Heavenly Tribulation, and the magic in his heart suddenly appeared. Seeing that the thousand-year cultivation base was about to be burned, suddenly a voice sounded not far away: "Hey, why is there a thunderstorm today? Big cow, find a place to hide, I'm afraid it's going to rain."

It's people!

The catastrophe avoids people, but generally monsters are not willing to seek shelter when they are suffering catastrophe, otherwise the cause and effect will be too big, and if they don't repay their kindness in the future, they will never have any chance of entering the country.

But this time Bai Li had to run to the human place, otherwise it would not be cause and effect, if the three souls and seven souls were scattered by the sky thunder, he would not even be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

At that time, Shi Wuduan, who had just come back to life from Liufengzhan's golden wind and jade dew, and sneaked to Cangyun Valley with a young man to relax, saw Bai Li for the first time. Bai Li's skill was damaged, and the fox ears were exposed. Naturally, he looked like he was beaten back to his original shape when he was a child. His hair was disheveled, and he described himself as embarrassed. Shi Wuduan was taken aback when he saw him, and the first thing he said was: "Oh, Where did this little beauty come from?"

Then he saw Bai Li's fox ears hidden in his hair, and when he looked up and saw the thunder and lightning outside, he patted Qing Hou, who was starting to show his hostility, and said, "Don't make trouble, even if you are a Taoist cultivator, you have to be an adult." The big five and the three thick ones, they belong to the fox family, you can't envy them—that little sister, don't be afraid, come here, my big cow has rough skin and thick flesh, and can stand by you for a while."

Bai Li would remember all his life that Shi Wudu took out a handkerchief from his arms and said, "Here, quickly wipe the water from your hair." That kind of appearance without haze and full of smiles.

Bai Li was stunned for a long time before he took it over, and said dully, "I will repay you."

"Okay, then you can be my daughter-in-law."

It was at this point that he had the first person who was not afraid of him and was willing to talk to him.

Shi Wuduan watched the Cuipingniao stretch out its legs proudly, and took off the things Bai Li sent him with joy. Inside was a simple reply letter and a black iron rod no longer than a palm, which looked black. It looks like someone's house repair waste.

Shi Wudu happily put the little black stick into his arms, patted Cuipingniao's head and said, "We're going home."

That night, he took the Cuipingniao and stood in front of the Sixth Formation again. This time, the bird learned how to behave, and put it in his arms with a shameless face, not to look at the dizzying formation of secrets.

Shi took out the astrolabe for no reason, put the unattractive little black stick on the astrolabe, and recited a very awkward mantra. The place where the astrolabe and the black iron rod touched faintly revealed a faint light, and then the astrolabe grew up. Several times, it actually covered Shi Wuduan's whole body like a big umbrella, rose into the air and hung down, the star threads were like vines, entwined around Shi Wuduan's fingers and black iron rod.

Shi Wuduan glanced back at Jianghua's courtyard house, smiled "hehe", and whispered: "Senior, there will be a date later!"

"The greedy wolf enters the sixth house, enters the third breath, and takes the seat of mind."

The high hanging astrolabe rose higher and higher, higher than all the bamboos and boulders, the stars lit up, and moved slowly with his voice, and it turned out to be in a completely different direction from the stars in the night sky.
