When I slashed out with my sword, the light on the sword suddenly turned into a blazing fire and was slashed straight towards the old Taoist's Taoist crown! The old Taoist couldn't dodge, so he stood straight and took my sword!
With a "hoo" sound, the Taoist crown turned into a wisp of flying ash, and the Taoist priest was instantly burned into an old monk with bald eyebrows. The old Taoist touched his head in a daze. The burning pain made the old Taoist tremble and he regained consciousness. The old Taoist's face turned red first, then turned pale, and then his face began to change color. I was so amused that I wanted to tease this veteran again. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly became wise, grabbed his luggage and the Tai Chi sword on the table, wiped his head and ran away. He also didn't want the Taomu sword and shouted: "Where can you escape, monster!" He disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I wanted to catch up, but just when I was about to take a step, there was a woman's voice in the direction where the old man left: "Don't worry, don't run. Don't run either!" Then I heard nothing but the moonlight. , the old man fainted with a "叏儿" sound. I was greatly surprised because this voice was so familiar to me! That voice was none other than my mother!
I squinted my eyes and looked in that direction, and saw a group of shadows swinging under the moonlight, and then they merged into one body. Although the light was dim, I could still see that it should be the shadows formed by the swaying of many tails. Just as I was thinking to myself, I saw a white thing coming from that direction. It was a white fox! I was overjoyed and thought, who else could this be if she wasn't my mother? I wanted to step forward and scream, but I immediately remembered that my mother can’t see me now. This is my mother from the Ming Dynasty.
Another voice sounded in the darkness: "Folks, come out." Needless to say, this voice was naturally my dad. I saw my father strolling over slowly carrying the fainted old man, pouring wine into his mouth with his iconic wine bottle as he walked.
Although it was already late at night, people in the village would naturally not be able to sleep. After hearing what Dad said, the brave ones actually opened the door and walked out. The person who walked out of the door was a young man, the grandson of the old man from before. This young man did not poke his head out to take a look as timidly as I imagined, but directly opened the door and strode towards my father and mother, without a trace of fear on his face.
I have a better impression of this young man in my heart, and my father also has a hint of approval in his eyes. I saw my father smiling and asking him: "What, you are not afraid that I am a monster?" The young man smiled and said: "You are not a monster, it is." He raised his hand and pointed at my mother. Mom was stunned for a moment, then giggled, and said while laughing: "Do you even need to say that?" As she said that, Mom rushed to Dad's feet like a gust of wind, and wrapped around Dad's body. He squatted on his father's shoulders.
When the young man saw this scene, he was also amazed, but then he looked at his father with a puzzled face and asked: "You don't look like the monsters who harm our village, then who are you?" Dad He laughed and said: "Those who are traveling on the road will see that the magic sticks are tricking people, so the road is uneven." As he said, the father grabbed the old Taoist's hand and raised it, raised the old Taoist to his face, pointed and said: "You guys It's true, this man is obviously a magician, how can you believe it?" The young man smiled and said nothing more.
At this time, other people in the village heard the conversation between the young man and his father, and knew that his father meant no harm, so they opened the door and came out.
"Young man, I see you are not very old. Why did you end up in a remote place like ours?" A middle-aged woman asked with a worried look on her face. Dad chuckled, took out the cloth bag containing the whole village's belongings from the bag that the old man was carrying, and put it on the table. Then he said: "I thought you were praising me for being young, but in fact I am very old. Haha." This is something my father often says. After all, he still looks like a young man even at his age. Sometimes he feels a little unhappy when he is treated like a child. The middle-aged woman was choked by her father, and she was obviously speechless. Maybe she just couldn't tell how old her father was. But it was hard for these people to say anything. After all, they already knew that the fox on this young man's shoulder was a real goblin, so everyone naturally understood that my father was not just an ordinary person.
Dad opened the cloth bag and said, "Let's see whose family these things belong to. Take them back. Oh, by the way, I have some spare money here, so let's take them too." As he said that, Dad raised his hand. Suddenly a large package appeared in my hand. When I opened it, I saw that they were all filled with white coins!
Seeing this scene, the people in the village were all stunned and speechless, not knowing whether they should take it or not. While everyone was stunned, an old man's voice rang out from outside the crowd: "What the hell is going on." Then, a fire lit up behind the crowd, and a middle-aged man held a torch and walked over, supporting the old man from the daytime. Someone explained the situation to the old man. The old man just thought for a moment and walked up to his father and said: "Thank you to this immortal master for exposing the Taoist priest. I thank you for the whole village! But we can't take this property, immortal It is already a great favor for me to help us expose the liar and recover our money. How can I accept your gold and silver again?" The old man said neither humble nor arrogant. Although he knew that his father was definitely not a human being, he did not show any fear. Unlike other people, everyone present except the old man had more or less fear on their faces, and they also knew that the young man in front of him might be a monster.
Although the old man's words were to express his gratitude, he also expressed his rejection of dad's gift. The implication of his words was to tell my dad, "You'd better leave quickly, I'm afraid you will harm others!" But what I didn't expect was that my dad actually He sat down on the table and looked at the old man with a smile without saying a word.
Everyone present was confused and had no idea what Dad meant by this. The old man and his father looked at each other for a long time. I don't know if it was because of the dim light or something. The old man took a step closer to his father and looked at it carefully. Dad also moved his face closer to the old man, as if he wanted the old man to take a closer look. Everyone present, including me, didn't know what was going on. The old man looked at Dad with doubts in his eyes.
Just when everyone was confused, the old man suddenly opened his eyes wide as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. He took two steps back, pointed at his father's face and said, "You! You! You..." Dad raised his eyebrows and said, "Remember?" The old man was even more frightened when his father asked him this question. If it weren't for my old age, I would even yell at the top of my lungs! The crutch in the old man's hand was trembling, and his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a word. Dad smiled and said without waiting for him to say anything: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to go to the northern foot of that mountain?" As he said that, Dad pointed to the barren mountain not far away.
After dad's words came out, not only the old man, but also all the villagers present were surprised this time! Everyone was surprised and all turned their attention to the old man. Obviously they didn't know the reason, let alone why my father said this.
After a while, the old man finally recovered from his surprise. With a gloomy face, the old man knelt down to my father with a "plop", and said with tears: "What you are teaching me is that I am incompetent in discipline! Please save us, sir!" The old man's actions and words said Everyone present dropped their glasses, and everyone looked at each other in confusion, completely unaware of what kind of evil the old man was attracting.
However, my father did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and continued to look at the old man with a smile. The old man now knelt in front of his father, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was asking the teacher to apologize. Seeing that his father was silent, the old man didn't know what to do. After a long while, he said: "The teacher told me back then, at the northern foot of the mountain You are not allowed to set foot there, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble. When my father was still alive, he forbade people in the village to set foot there. The old man also followed his teacher's teachings since he was a child and did not allow villagers to set foot on the northern foot of the mountain. Who would have thought that at the moment, the war is in chaos and the precarious situation will lead to several young people in the village. People don’t know the depth and violate taboos... "
Before the old man could finish speaking, his father smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Forget it, get up, it has happened, and I have nothing to say. You were also fleeing here in the first place, so I told you not to go to the north of the mountain. "Lu, I'm just afraid that some of you will have evil thoughts and make a big mistake. Now that the mistake has been made, it's not the time to regret it. It's better to think about how to solve it."
After hearing this, I realized. No wonder there is a village in this barren mountain. It turns out that the people in this entire village fled here. I think this village has been here for a long time. It is not difficult to hear from the old man's words that he should have followed his parents here when he was young, and it should have been more than fifty years ago. They must have met their father when they fled here, so they said it was "ordered back then".
Just when everyone was confused, there was a sudden "ouch" from an unknown direction, and the howl of something made everyone tremble!
