Facing my problem, Master pulled me forward (due to the trauma to my soul, my physical strength was already exhausted compared to Master), and said very directly: "Of course there are people to help us, and you also saw Pass."
"Who is it?" Actually, I had a vague guess. After all, I could get clues from the snakes, but I wasn't sure.
After all, there were so many snake spirits coming to the snake group this time, and there was even a tan snake that was only found in Taoist legends. The person who drove them away must be very capable.
Naturally, I know about snake exorcists. I saw the pair of grandsons and grandsons when I was a child. They may be masters and apprentices. Because it has been so long, my memory is a little blurry, but judging from the impression from that time, they are not possible... .
Master seemed to see what I was thinking, and he patted me on the head without thinking, and said: "Do you think you are the only genius in the world? Many people are better than others. It's him, you When I was a kid, I laughed at others, but I couldn’t make a sound when I played the bamboo flute.”
When Master said this, I couldn't help but picture an image from that time in my mind, a handsome, taciturn, and somewhat shy young man, wearing a washed-out military uniform and a wrinkled, broken military cap on his head. Above, there is an image of playing a bamboo flute with the head lowered.
Of course, there is also his master, or grandpa? That scary old man, Master’s friend!
Master said that a young man is better than a young man, and I believe he is referring to that young man. I tried hard to recall their names, and then I remembered that the old man who drives snakes is called Lao Wutou'er, and that young man is called Xiao Ding.
These memories are like unfolding a picture of that year for me, making me feel like I have returned to those years when I was still innocent and full of curiosity. The snakes dug up, the mysterious snake spirit, the master who was enthroned... everything. Everything, with a slightly yellow color, made my heart suddenly warm.
It was also at this time that we climbed to the top of this mountain. The sound of the bamboo flute had turned into an unusually melodious sound, reaching our eardrums. This was a normal tune, with the loneliness of the night, making people feel sad. Warm and lonely.
The master stood on the top of the mountain and looked back at the bottom of the mountain. The pursuers were already halfway up the mountain. The speed was not unpleasant. However, he let out a long sigh of relief and sighed: "This Xiao Ding is getting more and more powerful." , the hidden secrets of the Snake Sect can actually be brought into ordinary life."
There was a slight breeze on the top of the mountain, which made me wet with sweat, and the clothes sticking to my back were fluttering slightly. I felt an indescribable sense of relief after the stress.
But I don’t understand what Master said, what does it mean to bring the untold secrets of the Snake Sect into life? The master laughed twice inexplicably, suddenly wiped his sweat and said: "Reincarnation and inheritance are really wonderful things. The next generation has grown up, and your vigorous era has arrived and is also underway. .I am old, but I feel that my apprentice Sanwaer has grown up."
I looked at Master inexplicably, but Master pulled me and ran towards the valley below, because the sound of the bamboo flute obviously came from the valley, and the sound was moving.
"Xiao Ding is amazing, haven't you forgotten? When you were a child, he played the bamboo flute. You laughed at the fact that others couldn't make a sound. Later you realized that it was played for snakes, so humans naturally couldn't hear it. But in the legend of the Snake Gate, , there is a very powerful way to drive away snakes and control them - heart sound, the sound that comes from the heart, is only conveyed to the person it wants to convey. I think only the two of us, the master and the disciple, can hear the sound of the bamboo flute." Compared to the hillside roads, this downhill road was so comfortable to run on. It was a gentle slope covered with weeds, but surprisingly there were no potholes.
I was pulled all the way down by Master, and I actually felt like I was riding the wind. Is this a great era for the younger generation? My heart was filled with enthusiasm, and I was yearning for it when I heard Xiao Ding’s magical skills.
I know that there must be some subtle principles that can be explained. Just like when others see the mysterious Taoist magic, they also think it is very magical. But in fact, some things are explained clearly and are not inexplicable or so mysterious.
However, since this is the secret of the Snake Sect, I don’t think I can understand it. I just feel that such a mysterious method, with such a beautiful name, and the sound of the heart, really make people inexplicably happy.
The younger generation, the big era with great vigor, will this Xiao Ding be one of them? I suddenly had the feeling that every scene and everyone in my life was connected.
The most beautiful thing about this feeling is that as we grow up, will one day be able to protect the older generation? And in front of the beliefs and principles that we jointly protect, we will become the mainstay. This feeling is really amazing.
Therefore, Master will also have such emotion. Reincarnation and inheritance are really wonderful things, just like the endless life in nature...
Perhaps we have the same idea, an inexplicable tacit understanding that does not need to be expressed, but can only be understood. But because of this, Master and I couldn't help laughing loudly while running downhill. We felt a kind of wanton arrogance, and We have forgotten all the pursuing soldiers and the Holy King.
Life is about living in the present, and the pleasure of a moment is also the present, so why bother thinking so much
We quickly ran down the hillside and entered a long and narrow valley. It was even darker here due to the terrain. My eyes couldn't adapt to it for a while and I was a little confused. However, the sound of the bamboo flute stopped at this time. Master Also a little confused.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, Grandpa Jiang, Chen Chengyi." Just after we fumbled around and found a direction based on the direction of the sound just now, less than three minutes later, a clear voice came from above.
At this time, my eyesight finally adapted to the darkness. Suddenly I heard a sound from above and couldn't help but look up.
Under the moonlight, I saw a figure with very long hair, tied randomly at the back of his head. There was no beard on his face, and he was pale but looked strangely clean. Under the moonlight, some lines on his face could be vaguely seen. , adding some vicissitudes of life, but the delicate features of his face constantly overlap with that of the young man in his memory.
My temperament has changed a lot. The shyness at the beginning has turned into the calmness and calmness amidst the vicissitudes of life now.
In the past, he also had a young mind, so he chose to wear the most popular military uniform of that era, even though it turned white after washing... Now he is wearing a very long double-breasted jacket. Although it is a bit old, it also adds to his overall look. It feels a bit elegant.
In line with his temperament, he was holding a green shiny bamboo flute in his hand, standing on a relatively high rock, looking at us with a smile.
"Xiao Ding." I couldn't help but call out. Although we rarely interacted with each other, if young people met, the memories would always be warm, indelible, and inexplicably cordial.
"Do you still remember me?" Xiao Ding's face showed a trace of surprise, and then he jumped down from the rock with his sleeves fluttering, looking a bit cool.
"Don't you remember me too?" I scratched my head.
"Haha, actually Grandpa Jiang always came to see me and Master. He couldn't help but mention you every time. Of course I remember you. But I thought you didn't remember me." Xiao Ding smiled again, but this smile was Full of the shadow of his youth, he looked shy and slightly shy.
However, it is fundamentally different from Tao Bo's "nervous" shyness.
"Okay, don't be too busy reminiscing about old times." Just when Xiao Ding and I couldn't help but mutter a few words, Master, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted our conversation, and then looked at Xiao Ding and said seriously: "Xiao Ding, you know that if I use this 'snake medicine', I will be in great trouble. Can you help? If not, show me a clear way."
"My deceased master was also my grandfather. What did he say when he gave Grandpa Jiang this snake medicine? Grandpa Jiang still remembers it?" Xiao Ding glanced at my master, his face and eyes were full of sincerity, but when he mentioned Old Wu Tou As a child, I still couldn't help showing a hint of sadness.
I also felt inexplicably sad, remembering that the old Mr. Wu who gave me the bamboo tube passed away? But Master didn't tell me all this.
"He said..." When the master said this, he was a little hesitant, but Xiao Ding grabbed me and then the master, as if listening to something. At this time, I noticed A shiny black alien snake that I didn't recognize at all suddenly wrapped around Xiao Ding's legs from the ground and snaked up to Xiao Ding's shoulders.
This snake is not long, but it feels extremely fierce. It hisses out the snake message, and its eyes are full of strange spirituality, as if it is telling Xiao Ding something.
Xiao Ding was silent for about five seconds, then his face became a little serious, and he said to my master and me: "Grandpa Jiang, Sanwa'er, and the pursuers all seem to be very powerful. Let's not say more for now. You just follow me." Bar."
