Chapter 1414 Intersection

new】,! In the wilderness, the wind is full of the smell of mugwort.

The wild mice rustled and tidied up the earthen holes, and lay down at the entrance of the holes to look at the tall green grass outside, the blue sky and the clouds.

The soil suddenly shook, and colorful tigers flew across the sky above. Then, broken grass blades and dust poured into the wild rats' burrows.

"It flies so high"

The tiger carrying the sack and Bai Yujun jumped and ran faster than the horse.

Bai Yujun held the string in his hand, and the classic swallow-shaped paper kite got higher and higher. It soared into the sky with only a thread, and the breeze lifted it up and flew with the white clouds.

When I left the county town, I accidentally saw a paper kite. I bought it with some copper coins and played with it until the wind came.

In the scroll, the green road is full of wild grass, with grass as the boundary and the blue sky above.

A beautiful tiger is running with a sack on its back. There is a short-tailed cat beside it. Bai Yujun is sitting on the tiger's back, pulling a long string to pull a paper kite.

Running through the bulrush fields.

Dandelions sprouted up behind me, little silent umbrellas filled the sky, and fluttering flying flowers flew into the distance on the wind.

Bai Yujun shouted and put the kite higher, the wind blowing her hair.

Occasionally encountering a caravan, the guards and coachmen were stunned. Seeing the unforgettable scene, their heads turned stiffly until the huge tiger ran away and flew away in the dust.

Leaving the basin and entering the mountains again, the tiger feels more comfortable running in the shade of trees.

On a winding road in a certain valley, two groups of down-and-out bandits were fighting with each other, brandishing blades and shouting at the top of their lungs, causing sand and rocks to fly and screams to continue.

Suddenly, a low tiger roar sounded in my ears!

The bandits who were fighting in chaos panicked, and the huge tiger arrogantly ran through the crowd and disappeared along the official road.

Before the bandits could take a breath, the tiger carrying a little girl came back again. The bandit who had originally killed the red-eyed bandit seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water from a mountain spring. It was cold from his forehead to his toes. He was holding a tattered weapon in his hand and his eyes were blank. I didn’t know whether to continue fighting or turn around and run away.

Bai Yujun didn't want to come back to join in the fun. The tiger was really thirsty and wanted to drink.

There is a small waterfall on the roadside. The bandits actually started a fight in such a poetic place. It was like burning the harp and boiling the crane.

Ditches with silt at the bottom have poor water quality and are not suitable for drinking directly.

The water with gravel bottom is cleaner. It is the only place with clear water more than ten miles away.

The tiger lay low, breathing rapidly after running for a long distance. He rolled the water with his tongue and drank loudly. Not forgetting to be vigilant, the lynx demon who was also thirsty also lay down to drink water.

Under the gaze of more than a hundred people, Moubai slid down skillfully.

He took off the gourd and poured out all the water that had been stored in it for a long time. He walked to the lynx and the tiger and squatted down.

I reached out and touched it. The water was very cold.

Press the gourd into the water with the mouth facing up.

The mouth of the small gourd buzzes with bubbles, and the gourd that originally needed to be pressed hard gradually becomes heavier. It's quite fun. You can guess how much water is filled by listening to the buzzing sound, because the sound will change.

The water vapor is too heavy in front of the Zhanggao Small Waterfall, and the subtle water vapor blows on the face and brings coolness.

I drank about half a gourd of water, picked it up and took a few sips.

It's really cold. I can feel the mountain spring water flowing down from my mouth. I can't drink it hard because my throat can't stand the coldness.

"call"

Dispel dryness and heat, cool half.

Behind the scenes, more than a hundred bandits stared blankly, at a loss.

In front of a large stone waterfall in the shade of a tree, a large group, two small people, and three people drank water as if no one else was around. It was strange and peaceful. Is the mountain spring water really so delicious?

Bai Yujun pressed the gourd into the water again, this time filled the gourd and tightened the stopper.

After the tiger finished drinking the water, Bai Yujun climbed up using his little arms and short legs.

Qihu returns home again.

The two groups of disinterested bandits lost their interest, each packed up their weapons and fled away in despair.

The valley finally regained its previous tranquility.

More than a hundred miles away.

The official road leads to the fork in the ravine. Farmers wearing patched coarse cloth clothes are walking in a hurry. Their faces are haggard and anxious. The ankles exposed by rolled up trouser legs have many scratches from saw grass. As they walk, they look back and see a man of about seventy or so following him. A poor Taoist priest.

The old Taoist has gray hair and is a bit messy. He wears a patchwork Taoist robe and has a strong body.

He is considered to be a long-lived man who is in his seventies, has a long beard and looks like a fairy, and is out of breath after walking too fast.

The sky is cloudy, blocking out the sun's rays.

The two of them entered the village one after another. They were in such a hurry that they didn't bother to say hello to the villagers. They heard crying in the house in the distance, so the farmer simply supported the old man and started running.

"Xu Laodao is here! Get out of the way!"

He almost dragged the old man into the courtyard. No matter how strong the old man was, he couldn't stand the torment.

"If Erhu lets go, my old bones will fall apart."

After finally landing on the ground, before he could stand firm, the old woman who came out of the room knelt down in front of her, hugged Xu Laodao's legs and begged.

"Master Xu, please save my granddaughter."

"Mom, get up quickly, don't block the help!"

The farmer named Er Hu directly pulled the old lady aside, pushed his panicked daughter-in-law away, and led the old lady into the house.

Xu Laodao entered the room and saw the little girl on the bed. She was very thin, with scars all over her body and a sickly white complexion. Her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope. There was a fierce look in her eyes. How could an eight-year-old girl have such a look? The old Taoist knew for sure. Possessed.

The tied little girl started to go crazy, the bed board made a clanging sound, the hemp rope made a creaking sound as it was about to break, and she made a whirring sound while struggling, her belly was bulging.

He looked at Xu Laodao with stern eyes, as if giving a warning.

He waved his hand and asked the child and his family to go outside.

"What did the child eat?"

"If you don't eat good food, you will eat rice with uncooked rice. You can't stop it."

Xu Laodao almost pulled off his beard.

"Where did the peach wood gourd I gave my child when he was one month old?"

The child's family members were stunned by the old Taoist question, and thought about it carefully, such a thing did happen back then.

The old Taoist was very famous in the countryside, and he had to be asked for help in weddings and weddings. When the child was one month old, he asked the old Taoist to give him a name. After telling him his birth date, the old Taoist said that his life would be short-lived. He gave him a gourd carved from peach wood and asked him to keep it with him all the time. After hearing those words, the old Taoist said The whole family was very angry and felt bad luck. At that time, the child's grandfather was still alive. Xu Laodao was so angry that he ran away and threw away the peach wood gourd.

The old man in his seventies was a man of old age, and it was clear from the faces of the child's family that he definitely didn't take it seriously.

"You are confused!"

Things are difficult to handle, but no matter how difficult it is, we must save people. The children are innocent.

"Take the children to the Earth Temple to find a big rooster that can crow, and invite two hunters!"

After giving the instructions, the family looked very confused.

Xu Laodao had a bad feeling.

"The earth temple in the village is gone. The new god has been living in it for more than a year. I heard it is very effective. Why don't you delay?"

What the farmer named Er Hu said made Xu Laodao's eyes darken, and his blood rushed to his head and he almost fell down. What did he say? Is the Earth Temple gone?

Trying to calm his breathing, he shook his head.

"No need to go, just try it at home!"

You can't just sit back and die without saving. It's not easy to raise a child of such a big age. Only I know a little bit about the skills in eight villages ten miles away. The child's condition is too late to call in experts from other places.

Erhu went to invite the hunter, the wife caught a big rooster, and the old man took out various things from the bag.

A simple dark purple seal, a peach wood sword, a refined red rope with many old copper coins strung on it, and other various magical instruments.

The most powerful hunter nearby was invited.

In fact, butchers can also do it. There are few butchers in remote areas where there are only a few animals. Fortunately, there are hunters in mountain villages. The powerful hunters have a strong murderous aura. They have killed wild wolves and bear bears. They have a strong aura and can deter evil creatures.

The trapped little girl struggled even more fiercely, and the old Taoist commanded Erhu and Orion to step forward and hold her down hard.

Insert nails into the four corners of the house and quickly wrap a red rope around the nails to encircle the wooden bed.

Open the altar, burn incense, and recite mantras.

The tied girl's struggle became more violent. Erhu and the two hunters gritted their teeth and pressed hard. The fierce struggle made the three of them unyielding. As the saying goes, every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous way, the three mountain villagers are full of blood. , instead of being afraid, he was so angry that he wanted to drag out the evil thing and kick it violently.

Xu Laodao kept trying various methods, but he was so tired that his forehead was covered with sweat, but he still couldn't get rid of the evil spirits.

Only half of the incense was left, but the problem was still not solved. The dogs in the village started barking one after another.

Suddenly, he felt a gloomy cold air on the back of his head. His eyes turned black and his head felt dizzy. The world was spinning and he almost fell down. Old man Xu secretly thought that the girl's life might not be saved, and he himself was also affected. He lamented that my life was at an end.

At this moment, he heard the voice of his long-lost master in a trance. Maybe it was the appearance of his ancestor. The familiar voice from his childhood reminded him over and over again to go to the intersection outside the village. God would help him and there would be a real person passing by.

Hearing his mentor's voice after many years, Mr. Xu burst into tears.

Ignoring the need to explain to Erhu and the others, he staggered away and ran out of the village, leaving everyone in the courtyard at a loss.

He was so possessed by the evil spirit that he felt dizzy and his knees hurt from falling several times.

Finally we reached the intersection of village road and official road.

Xu Laodao was so tired that he knelt down and bit his tongue to stay awake. He didn't notice that the clouds in the sky above his head were far away. When the hot sun shone on his body, it dissipated most of the chill, which made him feel much better.

The official road in Huangcao was empty, and no one could be seen.

The sun was baking the earth, and the scenery in the distance was distorted, blurred, and swaying. Vaguely, the old Taoist saw an auspicious glow in the distance.

I rubbed my eyes and couldn't see anything unusual, so I thought it was an illusion.

My legs were sore from kneeling, and just when I was doubting myself, I saw a figure in the distance that was distorted and blurred by the sun.

I was both happy that the real person Master mentioned was here, but also worried that it was just a passer-by. I waited anxiously and anxiously, feeling that something was not right.

When I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, I felt a chill running down my spine. It was a big insect!

Xu Laodao was so frightened that he couldn't stand up even if he wanted to. He could only make weird noises from his throat and his whole body was stiff.

The running tiger began to slow down, and Bai Yujun asked the tiger to stop in front of the strange old road on the roadside to confirm again and again that it was the same person.

Licking his tongue, the tiger stood sideways. It was only then that Xu Laodao saw someone on the tiger's back, a little girl.

""

Is this the real person in the legend? looks small

Bai Yujun, who was holding an umbrella to protect himself from the sun, closed the umbrella, inserted it into a sack, and then slid down skillfully.

I blinked and saw that the old Taoist had good deeds and righteousness. Although his Taoism was not deep, it could be called the right way.

It looks like he's possessed, so it's not a big problem.

"Big Tiger, help him."

When the tiger walked up to him, he lowered his head and sniffed the old man's scent out of habit. The hot air sprayed from his nostrils blew his face warm.

Xu Laodao actually felt comfortable, and his dizziness was no longer so strong.

The tiger opened its bloody mouth and roared like thunder.

Ouch

Unable to open his eyes due to the wind, Xu Laodao felt something struggling to escape from his body, and the horrifying screams were particularly miserable.

Bai Yujun and the lynx looked around curiously and saw the gray shadow slowly peeling off the old man's body.

The gray shadow couldn't withstand the battle, and it whined and dissipated.

The tiger's ferocious power suppressed the evil, and I smelled the scent again, feeling very satisfied.
