"Haha, this is He Lian Mountain. Little brother, I will only send you here. I have to deliver these things to the town ahead, so I won't go in. Hahaha, if you have a chance in the future, if you come and ride my donkey cart again, I won't charge you any coins!"
"Let's go!"
The man driving the donkey cart laughed a few times, then waved his whip, and the donkey brayed a few times, sped up a little, and then had to rush on the road while the sun was not setting. The desolate trumpet sounded, young Daoist watched the person he met by chance leave on the road, and just looked at the town where he had lived for many years.
He Lian Mountain in the distance is still the same as before, not much different from when he left.
Young Daoist took a few steps, but suddenly stopped.
He looked at the Daoist robes and clothes he was wearing, and Little Peacock, which was quite eye-catching at first glance.
After thinking for a while, in order to avoid trouble, he swept his sleeves and robes, transforming his own Qi into Zu Qi, and with a sudden change, the plain Daoist robe on his body turned into the simple clothes he often wore in those days, and the wooden hairpin turned into an ordinary tree branch. He stepped slightly, and the shoes on his feet were as before. He raised his hand to induce the transformation of Zu Qi, and hid the Little Peacock tail feathers that had just been hidden in his sleeves and robes, which were as bright as gold.
It looks like a cub of Three Yellow Chicken.
Little Peacock Qi Yuntun is curious. "Hey!!! A Qi A Qi What are you doing?"
Young Daoist said, "Save some trouble."
"A Qi Do you care about this?"
"Whatever clothes you wear, it's me, but when you go to a country, you have to follow the local customs. I think these clothes will make others feel alienated, so it's better to wear the same clothes as before."
Little Peacock doesn't care.
Anyway, he was wearing silk and satin, his robes were plain, and he was still wearing the same brown shorts.
Qi WuHuo is still Qi WuHuo.
He just swung his tail feathers curiously, and it seemed that they were really gone, but he also felt that if he activated his Qi, he could break young Daoist's transformation technique. However, Qi WuHuo suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled, lowered his head, and saw Little Medicine Spirit's face full of envy, pointing at the little wonton, and then at himself, and said something babbling.
"You want to change too?"
Young Daoist couldn't help but laugh, so he used Primordial Ancestral Qi's method to transform the unresisting Little Medicine Spirit into a small chick with a light yellow appearance. The two little guys sat side by side on young Daoist's shoulders, but one had long feathers on his head fluttering in the wind, and one had branches and leaves hidden under its wings to distinguish them.
"Okay, go home."
Qi WuHuo Walked back to the town, he still felt a little nostalgic in his heart. The roads, these houses, and the air under the mountain seemed to be the same as before. During the time he left, nothing had changed. The watchman in thick clothes walked towards him. It was not time to work now, he went to drink some strong drinks, and he was thinking about what he would say today.
The young man naturally said hello and asked if it was early to drink today. When the watchman saw the young man, he subconsciously replied, "Of course, there is nothing to do today. It's my turn to rest. The old wine shop has opened a jar of new wine, so naturally I want to drink some."
"The boy doesn't understand the taste of wine, haha. It will be better when you are older."
The watchman subconsciously retorted, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he suddenly realized what he was doing, turned his head sharply, and shouted:
"Qi WuHuo?!"
"You're back?"
"You kid, didn't you die outside?!"
Young Daoist had already walked away. The watchman saw him waving his hands with his back to him, and then replied with a smile, "Good luck, I'm back." The watchman murmured a few words, and then couldn't help laughing. He didn't know why, and he still sounded so unpleasant when he spoke, and said, "It's not easy to get around outside, isn't it?!"
"Just come back. There is nothing for you to eat even in the mountains and below."
"Just stay at home, don't go out for a walk if you have nothing else to do,"
I walked all the way home and cut two taels of pig head meat, which was very satisfying.
The mother-in-law widened her eyes and said dissatisfied, "Didn't you just say drink a little wine?"
"Is this a little bit?"
The watchman smiled and said, "Hey, don't talk about this, do you know who I saw today?"
"Who is it? Lao Wang's aunt is hooking up with Lao Li again?"
"What's wrong?"
The watchman smiled and said, "I saw Qi WuHuo coming back."
The watchman's wife was surprised and said, "You're back?"
"Yeah, haha, drink some."
"He's back, what does he do to you?"
"Because he didn't want to do anything to me, I just thought it was great that this kid suddenly disappeared and didn't die outside. I can't explain why, so I feel good."
Qi WuHuo walked all the way to the edge of the whole town. His small house is still there, and the lock on the fence outside the yard is still there. The plum blossoms transformed by Teacher withered early this year, and they fell to the ground, paving the way. The entire courtyard was full. Young Daoist took out his key from his sleeve robe and inserted it into the keyhole. With a faint sound, the lock opened. The young man lifted the chain, received the pile of stones next to it, and then opened the door.
When the door was pushed open, there was a slight gust of wind.
Then the plum blossoms fell all over the yard and were swept up, filling young Daoist's temples and eyebrows. The sleeves and robes were slightly raised. Little Peacock couldn't help falling from the young man's shoulders, spreading his wings and sliding. Little Medicine Spirit was babbling anxiously, which meant that I hadn't sat on it yet! But suddenly I realized that I had been turned into a little bird, so I also tried to flap my wings.
Then plant it directly into the ground.
Turning around.
Falling in the palm of young Daoist.
He sat there in a daze, his wings raised and pressed against his head, his eyes were in a trance.
The young man laughed and said, "I'm back."
He walked in and opened the door. There was some dust in the room, but other than that, it was not much different from when he was still there. It was just that the bedding was a little damp. Little Peacock flew in, looked around, and said, "Hey? A Qi A Qi, have you lived here before?"
"It's narrow, dark, and damp."
"It's much smaller than Refining Yang Temple."
The young man smiled and said, "Really? I think it's good."
He walked to the window, opened it, saw the mountains in the distance, and saw the blue sky, so the house was filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms, and said, "Isn't that enough?" Little Peacock and Little Medicine Spirit sat on his shoulders, looking at He Lian Mountain, young Daoist felt peaceful and warm, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with their house.
The news of Qi WuHuo's return spread quickly around here.
After all, it is the most remote and ordinary place in the town. People soon came to the turnstile to join in the fun and see how this young man was doing. Mainly out of curiosity, where had he been for more than a year? How could he disappear without saying a word? Why did he suddenly come back?
"Oh, it turns out I went out to see the world."
"Have you made any money in the past year? Not at all."
"Hey, it's nothing. It's a good thing for young people to see the world and not make money. I went to the market this morning to buy some vegetables. You just came back. I guess there is nothing at home. This is a good thing. It is more expensive than this in the city. It is not so fresh. It is all drugged."
"Speaking of which, where did you buy these little chickens? Madam, I also want to raise some chickens to lay eggs."
"I haven't seen any for sale."
People come here to sit and satisfy their curiosity, and then leave a little something behind.
He likes to tell young people what to do.
But it would also be natural to feel that you just came back and couldn't turn on the stove. It's normal to order food for you, which is enough for you to eat for three to five meals. So young Daoist's room had several extra Chinese cabbages, a jar of pickles, a little salt, a small bowl of oil, a small bag of rice, and three eggs, which was enough for him to eat for seven or eight days.
Qi Yuntun was taken by the aunt just now, turning it over and over and kneading it. She said that the chicken was not fat enough, so she just took the vegetable leaves and millet and gave it a good meal. For the first time, the little wonton felt that she actually didn't like eating that much. Little Medicine Spirit was watching its jokes, but she couldn't escape.
"Is this a human being? How strange."
"People are inherently weird." The young man laughed.
His Primordial Spirit knew that these people who lived an ordinary life were just curious about him and showed some kindness to their neighbors when they came back. However, some wealthy and wealthy families seemed to be a little frightened and nervous because of his return, but not many. The young people could 'hear' their words, saying that they had disappeared for more than a year and came back still in rags. I think it was just a matter of rumors to Mountain God that they were old.
Little Peacock opened his eyes wide and said, "A Qi A Qi, do you recognize Mountain God?"
"Hmm."
"Actually, you recognize it too."
"Eh?? I, do I recognize it?"
Little Peacock Qi Yuntun was puzzled, and the young man laughed, washed rice, cooked, cooked rice, bacon, stir-fried cabbage, added more fat, and a bunch of pickled cucumbers, which tasted very good.
After tidying up the house and wiping away the dust, it is as if the past years have never existed.
It wasn't until his home recovered that he felt as if he had never left. The young man took steps, picked up the backpack next to him, and walked in the direction of He Lian Mountain. The people next to him would greet him and ask him why he was going to the mountains to chop firewood after he was so hardworking. Young Daoist said yes, he had just come back. So they smiled and asked young Daoist to bring the firewood later, and we settled on some.
The young man smiled and agreed.
The mountain road is familiar. I haven't walked it in a year, and it doesn't feel strange at all.
Following the breath, he walked forward, picked some fruits, and put the fallen firewood in the basket on his back. He stopped by to see the herbs he had planted. However, when Qi WuHuo went over, he found that the place where he had planted them was empty, and he was slightly surprised.
"No more?"
I searched several places again, but still nothing.
These were the only gifts from Elder Tao and other places around me when I became Mountain God.
Young Daoist planted these Spirit Grass on He Lian Mountain, hoping to make the energy of the whole mountain better, but unexpectedly it disappeared. Was it discovered by someone collecting herbs? Or... Qi WuHuo raised his hand to draw Qi, thinking about it, and found a familiar breath.
It's that little Deer Spirit.
Little Deer Spirit sighed.
Above the head is little Huang Jing sitting with his chin in his hands and sighing.
"Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"That's right..."
"Damn it, that big black guy, we thought he was really a guest, but we didn't expect that he actually stayed in He Lian Mountain's Mountain God house these days and refused to come out. Elder Tao couldn't even argue with him..."
The two little guys thought of that guy and sighed together.
They all said in unison, "Why hasn't he come back yet?"
A gentle laughter was heard in my ears. "Who is coming back?"
Little Deer Spirit's ears twitched and his eyes widened, as did little Huang Jing. He got up and said, "Hey!" The two little guys turned their heads., I saw a young Daoist sitting in the forest at some point. He had black hair tied with branches and a smile on his face. He was wearing a brown shorts and a blue coarse cloth tied around his waist, hanging down from one side. His eyes were gentle.
"!!! Mountain God?!!"
"Woooooooooo, you're finally back!"
Little Huang Jing took a running start, and then flew towards young Daoist.
Finally, he was caught in the air by Qi Yuntun and fell down.
"Who? Can eat it?"
Little Peacock looked at young Daoist.
Young Daoist shook his head and then let go. On the contrary, Little Medicine Spirit opened his eyes wide. It was extremely difficult to channel the spirits of plants and trees, and he might not encounter another medicinal spirit from channeling to death. He suddenly became happy, pointed at the little Huang Jing, and then pointed at himself, babbling, with a happy face.
Little Deer Spirit, of course, the little guy who thought he was an old deer came over, but he was very polite and said, "Mountain God."
Very dignified and mature.
Reliable!
The short tail sways at super high speed.
It's going to be an afterimage.
They were all obviously happy and asked where young Daoist had gone? They just came back today. Young Daoist answered one by one, sitting on the bluestone under the tree. Little Huang Jing and Little Medicine Spirit were sitting on their knees, with Little Peacock on their shoulders. They stretched out their hands to touch little Deer Spirit's head and said, "Which big black guy did you just say?"
Now, the two little guys were angry and said:
"Yes, it's him!"
"Bad guy!"
"Grab Mountain God's home."
"Huh? Speak slowly..."
Young Daoist's voice naturally had a hint of Buddhist Shi Abhaya Mudra's change, which made the two little guys calm down and talk slowly. Only then did they understand what happened. But it was some time ago, during the catastrophe of Zhongzhou. At that time, the earth only lost a lot, and the personality of the earth, at least three to five hundred lifespan, may be the method of cultivating the earth line.
Naturally, he was being stared at.
Then there was a big Black Bear, who claimed to have brought the letter from the previous generation Mountain God tiger to Zhongzhou. He did not dare to go to the central area that was greatly affected by this disaster. He came to this remote place that was not affected too much. At first, he helped fight away some of the demons that had been affected here. The spirits in the mountains thought they were friends and entertained him warmly.
But slowly, this guy showed his lazy nature and ate a lot of spirit medicine.
He ran to occupy Mountain God's place again, and found a lot of spirits and monsters from nowhere. He said that Mountain God has never come forward, and has never taken action on such a big thing as the Zhongzhou catastrophe. He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so why not leave it to Mountain God to protect the creatures of this mountain, provide you with food and drink, and be the master and ancestor.
When talking about this place, little Huang Jing was very angry. He looked at young Daoist and said, "Mountain God, you must have helped to solve the catastrophe in Zhongzhou. He didn't run away like he said!" It had great trust in young Daoist. When it saw the young man nodding, it became happy and said, "Elder Tao wanted to ask him to move out, but he refused."
"Tai Gong said he has such a powerful bloodline that he can fight True Person."
"That's right..."
Young Daoist did not expect that after he solved the disaster in Zhongzhou, someone saw him not in the mountain and came here to take over the mountain. Judging from his words and deeds, it seemed that he was not a character worthy of entrusting Mountain God's character. However, Elder Tao and others did not contact him as Mystic Altar Technique, so the matter should not be serious.
Young Daoist feels guilty.
I felt that as Mountain God, I could not fulfill the responsibilities of Mountain God, so I firmly decided to spread this seal.
But he also thought that if the personality of Mountain God were spread, even if others obtained this mark, it would only be Primordial Prenatal Qi's means.
It may not be better than Elder Tao.
And Elder Tao also said it was tricky. It seems that this guy is indeed extraordinary.
From this point of view, there was a demon who wanted to take advantage of Ling Miao Gong's lack of time to take advantage of it, but he happened to choose He Lian Mountain. He felt that without Mountain God, there would be less resistance to occupying the magpie's nest. The young man thought about it and felt that he could just solve the matter before leaving.
If he had come back earlier, handed the mark to someone else and left, He Lian Mountain would still have been bullied.
It's just the right time to come back.
He stood up and said, "Let's go, take me to see you."
"Huh?"
"He said he has a letter and I'll go take a look."
"Also, when guests come, we welcome them. Bad guests like this will be kicked out."
In the past, there were mostly monsters on the platform where Fierce Tiger Mountain Lord was refining alchemy and teaching. Although they did not devour blood and practice, they all looked ferocious. Their appearance was different from the monsters in the mountains in the past. The leader was a rather strong man, sitting there cross-legged, wearing a cassock, with short black hair, drinking tea quite calmly.
All the demons praised his magic power and said, "The Venerable Master once heard the Dharma in Nanhai, and later left and practiced it again in the Demon Kingdom."
"Ordinary True Person is no match."
"Now I abandon the Buddha seeking the Dao, come to this mountain, seek a piece of land and just follow your feet, and cultivate a free and easy life."
"It's also a very good thing!"
Black Bear laughed and said, "That's how it should be. This He Lian Mountain is pretty good. It's just the right place for me." While he was smiling and feeling triumphant, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, a clear voice coming slowly from bottom to top. The sound seemed to have a mysterious flavor, which calmed the minds of these monsters and made them all subconsciously listen quietly:
"Watching the chess pieces and cutting wood, walking slowly in the valley near the clouds, selling firewood to make tea, and playing the harp to express my love. The autumn is high in the sky, and I sleep on the pine roots against the moon. I recognize the old forest, climb the cliffs and ridges, and cut the withered vines with an ax."
"Collect it into a load and put it on the market, and you can get three liters of rice."
"There is no competition among others, the price is mediocre, there is no scheming, there is no honor or disgrace, and life is indifferent."
The voice was gentle. The demons saw a person, wearing brown clothes and carrying a basket on his back. On one side was the little Deer Spirit with a bird on his shoulder. He looked gentle and looked like an ordinary young man chopping firewood. But how could an ordinary young man come here and see the appearance of these demons without changing color? The person transformed by Black Bear stood three meters tall, looked at it with a pair of eyes, and chanted:
"He was originally a monastic."
"Young man, this place is my dojo, Crane Mountain God. I don't know why I'm here?"
The group of monsters all raised their voices and shouted, making it noisy and harsh.
The young man smiled and replied:
"Pindao, Crane Mountain God, Qi WuHuo."
Then the group of demons suddenly became quiet.
