Chapter 2 Bai Li ...

The white magnolias at the window were defeated, and when the wind gushes, they fell to the ground in large pieces, turning the ground into a cloud of white.

Daozu stood by the small window and looked out through the half-open window. There is a huge astrolabe in the middle of the yard, occupying almost half of the small yard. At this time, it is early in the morning, the sun falls, and the faint brilliance on the astrolabe dims. The complicated lines of the appointment are tangled together, and occasionally petals fall on it, as if being sucked by the astrolabe, withering down quickly.

His close disciple Shi Wuyuan was sitting on the edge of the astrolabe, his trouser legs were slightly rolled up, revealing a small section of his ankles—Shi Wuyuan was ten years old, and it seemed that he was starting to grow taller, and all the food he ate had become continuously elongated. The bones of his body began to show the thinness characteristic of a teenager. He had a few bird feathers in his outer robe, and a handful of golden thread wrapped around his hands, his fingers flying like a fly, and he was deftly weaving a "cardamom wrap".

This cardamom wrap is worn by girls from wealthy families who have not yet reached the pinnacle. During the big dry years, little girls generally do not wear buns and hairpins like adults, and most of them wear braids. Cardamom wraps about two or three inches wide were braided in the girls' braids, and some golden bells were tied around the tails, which would tinkle as the girl walked.

Shi Wuyuan was so young, and no one had taught him. At most, he saw that a few younger brothers and sisters in the sect of Master Kuruo had worn it, but he started tinkering with it without a teacher. It can be seen that this Zi is even gifted in crooked ways.

When Daozu fixed his eyes on it, he was so angry that his beard was upturned - he knew both the golden thread and the bird feather that his precious apprentice was playing with.

The golden thread is the "Duxing thread" used to spread the astrolabe during the Jiulu Mountain Grand Ceremony. It looks like golden thread at first glance, but it is extremely soft in the hand, as cool as water, and extremely flexible. It is woven from a kind of golden silkworm that lives in the white snow all year round on the top of Jiulu Mountain. It only produces a few taels a year. Save some.

But it was the bird feather, which was very splendid. It seemed to be plated with a layer of glass under the sun, and it was full of brilliance. If it was an ordinary person without cultivation, he would be dizzy and dizzy if he stared at it carefully for less than a moment. It's like being photographed by that color.

The more Daozu looked at, the more familiar he looked. He walked quickly to the outside, opened the door and looked at it, and his blood was surging in waves - saw that the Cuiping fairy sparrow he raised didn't know when it was shaved. , This is known as the most beautiful bird in the world when he saw him coming in, as if frightened, pouted his hairless bald buttocks, cried twice, and turned away, as if he had no face to see his master.

Legend has it that the Cuiping fairy sparrow was raised by the immortals on the Jade Lake in the Nine Heavens. It is rare to see a few in the world, but only occasionally in the extreme north. It feeds on snow lotus, drinks snow water, and never eats human berries, grass and insects. It has always been the heart of Taoist ancestors. baby.

Daozu and Bald-haired Fairy looked at each other for a while, hands and feet trembling with anger, picked up the ruler, and slammed the door open: "Shi Wuyuan!"

His prodigal apprentice trembled with fright, and subconsciously put the golden thread and Toba into his robe, and said with a guilty conscience, "Hehe, Master."

When Master Bitan came in, he saw that his senior senior brother was performing Xuanzong's repertoire - chasing Shi Wuji, who was jumping up and down, with a ruler in the courtyard.

Shi Wuyuan's robe was tucked up, and he was holding something in his pocket. He hugged his head tightly while shrugging his neck and shoulders, and shouted, "Master, Master, listen to my explanation, the second senior brother said that marrying a daughter-in-law requires a betrothal gift. , the dowry is a good thing, oh, it hurts... If you don't have a dowry, you have to be a bachelor, oh! Don't beat your head, you're stupid! The meat on the butt is thick, you want to spank and spank..."

Bitan coughed at the door: "Senior brother in charge."

When Daozu found him, he immediately put down the ruler, reluctantly suppressed the sullen look on his face, smoothed the folds on his robe, cleared his throat, and stroked his beard. Then he took it easy, as if he had never been in a hurry. He asked, "Junior Brother Bitan, what are you doing here?"

Bitan was the younger brother of Daozu. Under the head, he oversaw Xuanzong's daily affairs, and was the most talkative. Shi Wuduo, with sharp eyes, jumped behind Bitan in two steps, slapped the non-existent ash on him twice, and grinned in a friendly manner, looking like he was shaking his head and tail: "Senior Uncle Bitan, you're here."

Bitan glanced at the stolen goods in his arms, and then flicked his fingers on his forehead: "Why are you making trouble again?"

Shi Wuyuan found his backer, rubbed his forehead with a heartless "hehe" smile, and was glared by Daozu: "Little beast, I'm going to settle accounts with you at night - Bitan came in to talk."

It's an amnesty.

Shi Wuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the back of his head and thighs that had been swept by the ruler, feeling that Master Bitan was really a living Bodhisattva who saved suffering.

He jumped up to the big tree on one side, hummed a song, finished the rest of the cardamom wrapping, and then looked at the light proudly at his finished product, and felt that it was a masterpiece, no matter how good it was. There is no more - children like bright things, at this time Shi Wuyuan didn't have much taste, and he didn't realize that this jeweled thing could blind a dog's eyes.

Then he jumped down from the big tree, took advantage of Bitan to hold Daozu, passed the guards well, ran into Cangyun Valley, and went straight to the fire lotus dòng of the demon king of Tianhu. Roar: "Bai Li! Little Ion! Come out! Come out!"

Bai Ziyi's eyelids twitched, thinking why is this unlucky child again.

But as soon as she lowered her head, she found that her son, who had always been unsmiling, had a little smile on his face, and she had to stand up when she heard the sound. Bai Ziyi couldn't help frowning, stopped him and said, "You stand still, I have a few words to tell you."

"I don't know much about fortune-telling and arithmetic, but looking at the boy's face, I know that he is not like a smooth and smooth person with profound blessings. I am afraid that there will be many bumps in the future. It is unknown whether he will die early in the future..."

Bai Li raised his head and glanced at her. He was only a teenager at the moment, but the coldness in his eyes made the Millennium Demon King pause. After a while, he heard Bai Li whisper, "Mother, what do you want to say?"

His voice still had the softness of a teenager, and he slowly spit out his voice, as if he was acting like a spoiled child, but his expression was far from that. Bai Ziyi sighed: "You owe him cause and effect, if you have a chance in the future, pay it back, don't get involved too much, people and demons are always..."

Bai Li sneered, but still said softly, "Son, don't worry."

Then she turned around in front of Bai Ziyi and turned into a little girl. She still had those eyebrows and eyes, but she changed her clothes and looked so soft that people couldn't tell the clue, and then she walked away. went out.

The rest of Bai Ziyi's words got stuck in her throat, and after a long while, she sighed softly, but she was very helpless.

As soon as Bai Li went out, he saw Shi Wuyuan jumping up and down at the door, as if there were nails stabbing his feet under his feet. He couldn't sit still for a moment. With one hand, he beckoned to him: "Come here, Xiao Ion, I have something for you."

Bai Li let him pull over and asked, "What?"

Shi Wuyuan said: "You close your eyes."

Bai Li glanced at him, like a real good-natured little girl, closed his eyes obediently, and Shi Wuyuan secretly looked at him, seeing that his eyelashes were extremely long, trembling, and his delicate facial features were not yet complete. Chang Kai, with some childish childishness, there is hardly anything that looks bad, so I think proudly, "Oh, I really married the most beautiful daughter-in-law in the world."

He walked around to Bai Li's side, and instructed him not at ease, "You are not allowed to open your eyes and peek."

Bai Li responded with a sound, and the corners of his mouth turned up two points.

Shi Wuyuan's hands have been deducing the astrolabe since he was a child, and he is very dexterous. He quickly untied Bai Li's long braid down one shoulder while he was talking, and wrapped around his jeweled and proud work, and then took a step back. , said: "Okay."

The moment Bai Li opened his eyes, he was stunned by the hair of Cuipingbird again. He pulled up his hair and looked at it. He was dumbfounded to find that he had changed from a "girl" to a "girl" of fire and silver flowers. Wu Yuan was still rubbing his small paws and asked flatteringly, "Hey, I made it myself, isn't it good-looking?"

Bai Xin moved inwardly, nodded and said, "It looks good."

Shi Wuyuan became even more mad. He circled around him for several times, and said in a ramble: "That's what I did, Master's big stupid bird's feathers have been plucked out for me, for this he He even beaten me up two feet—that rotten bird doesn’t know what’s good about it except that its fur is good-looking, and all day long, he will pout his butt and screech and call him a baby, tsk!”

Bai Li asked, "Are you beaten again?"

Shi Wuyuan stretched out a little finger rather than a bachelor, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, young master, I can wear a gold bell and iron cloth shirt, and the master's ring ruler hits him, just follow... It's like I'm choking on my body, it doesn't hurt at all, it doesn't..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Li reached out and hooked his fingers, so Shi Wuyuan's remaining voice fell back into his stomach, feeling that Bai Li's hand was soft, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed. Now, he looked at the other party stupidly and smiled twice: "Come on, let's go to Fallen Moon Slope, and I will climb a tree and pick fruit for you to eat."

There are mountains, waters and beauties in Cangyun Valley, Shi Wuyuan felt that this place was like a paradise. Farewell to Bai Li.

At this moment, a strange bird chirping suddenly sounded in the air. As soon as the two looked up, they saw a big bald bird swooping down from the sky and landed on Shi Wuyuan's shoulder. The shiny cardamom wrapped around it, and as if venting his anger, he pecked Shi Wuyuan's head twice—it was Daozu's Cuiping fairy sparrow.

Shi Wudu covered his head with his arm, and reached out to grab it, but Cui Ping Xianque dodged, stretched out a foot arrogantly, and turned his head away, as if he didn't want to look at him.

With a letter and a small burden tied to its feet, Shi Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, then bent down to untie it, and after reading it in three or two lines, his expression was a little surprised.

Bai Li couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Shi Wucai scratched his head with his hands: "My master ordered me to go to the East China Sea to find Jianghua Sanren, saying that it was to get some things, and he also told me not to delay, I don't have to go back today, I'll set off quickly, all the things I use on the road are in the baggage... hey Strange, why didn't he say it this morning?"
