Chapter 3 Lifetime…

Legend has it that there are immortals above the nine heavens, and about immortals, folk legends are like a sea of ​​smoke—what this fairy eloped with a poor boy, that monk and Taoist meddled in his own business, and how did several big stars compete for power and intrigue... ...But if it is really verified, no one dares to say that they have really seen immortals.

It has been passed on from time to time, but there are unreliable words such as "heard", "an old man once said", "folk rumors here" and so on.

For more than 30,000 years since records were recorded in the land of Yin Sheng, no one had ever heard of who had truly ascended to immortality.

Those immortal cultivators who saw the head of the dragon but did not see the end, but ended up with a reputation for being leisurely and free from competition in the world.

It is rumored that Jianghua Sanren was born in a family of big merchants, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. Although the family has gold and silver mountains, his old father still believes that his family is not high, and he has been famous for his life. He rushed a group of children to study and practice martial arts and seek Taoism, and sought famous teachers all over the place.

However, Jiang Hua, his son-in-law like a baby, was a piece of rotten wood, and he was driven to Jiulu Mountain by his old father with a stick. He actually stood up on the spot, questioned the master to the point of being speechless, and was finally blasted down the mountain.

He didn't dare to go home, and he had nothing to do, so it was his fate. When he met an old wandering immortal with white hair and beard, he followed him to cultivate immortality. , I don't know what Xiucheng looks like. Anyway, the name of "Jianghua Sanren" is called out by people. If he wants to come under his father Jiuquan, who is dedicated to changing his family style, he should rest his eyes.

Now Shi Wuyuan is worried, and thinks that Jianghua Sanren is like a lit pào battle, running around, and can't live in peace for a moment, who knows that he will go to that place where birds don't shit again to harm, Where can I ask myself to find it?

Wouldn't it take three years and five years to go?

Just at this moment, a sudden thunder struck, Shi Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that the weather in the Cangyun Valley was changing rapidly, and the sky was still clear. It fell with a crackle, and the Cuipingbird shrank its neck. It would ignore the previous suspicion. It blew its wings and drilled into Shi Wuyuan's wide robe, and he grabbed it by the neck and pulled it out.

Shi Wuyuan grabbed Bai Li and ran to the nearest mountain, not forgetting to lift up the huge Cuiping bird and put it on Bai Li's head to shield him from the wind and rain. Lianxiang Xiyu was very conscientious.

Poor that Kingfisher's flat-haired body, born without white eyes, doesn't know how to express his inner distress at this moment.

Most of the villages in Zhongshan in Cangyun Valley are some small demon houses, and some have been practicing for a long time, so they show their profound Taoism by making themselves look like a human being, and they even have to write a nondescript plaque on the door of the house. Even so, after all, these little monsters still have some animal habits, and they have always had their own territory. In this Cangyun Valley, it is a taboo to enter other people's territory at will.

Shi Wuyuan was young, no one had told him, and he didn't know how powerful he was. Seeing that there was no sign on the dòng mansion, he said that it was empty, and dragged Bai Li to break in.

He was busy shaking the rain off his body, and clumsily took out a handkerchief from his arms, turned it to the clean side, and carefully wiped off the little water stain on Baili's forehead, so there was no I saw a pair of shòu pupils glowing green light faintly at the end of the mountain, looking this way.

The rain was getting heavier, and the Cuipingbird angrily broke free from Shi Wuji's claws, and then jumped up and down to chase after him and pecked up, Shi Wuyuan said "oh" while hugging his head and squirming in the narrow mountain, while saying cheaply. : "You don't even have hair, you don't even need to shake when you're wet, what's the matter... oops! Come on, don't think you're an old man's bird and I don't dare to bake you and eat it... Why isn't it over yet!"

Bai Li looked at him and smiled, then while he was not paying attention, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Shòu who was hiding in the corner. The Ye Shòu met his slightly warning gaze, and shrank back, hesitating. After a while, he paused from a distance to show his submission, and slowly retreated behind the boulder blocking his tail with his tail tucked.

Bai Li took a handprint, and unconsciously set up a seal around the two to isolate foreign objects.

Then Shi Wuyuan rushed over, and the Kingfisher chased after him fiercely. Not seeing him, Bai Li reached out his hand as if at random, and stopped the fluttering Cuiping bird, took it into his arms, supported the big bird's body with one hand, and gently followed it with the other. His neck, stroking down comfortingly.

In Shi Wutuo's eyes, the Kingfisher suddenly calmed down miraculously, and fell into Baili's arms honestly. He touched his nose, stretched out his hand and flicked it on Kingfisher's head, cursing: "Tsk, color bird, it's cheaper for you."

Then his attention quickly turned to his beautiful "little daughter-in-law", and asked repeatedly, "Are you wet? Is it cold?"

As he said that, he took off his coat and gave it to Bai Li. Only halfway through it did he realize that the coat had been soaked in water long ago, so he patted his head a little embarrassedly, and said in a puzzled way, "Aiya, why is it running out of soup? already?"

Shi Wuyuan was at the transitional age from a boy to a teenager. His stature started to grow longer, but his cheeks still had the childishness of a child, except that the tip of his chin began to show faint traces of bones, and two strands of wet hair were sticky. On his forehead, there were a pair of clear eyes below, he blinked, looked at his wet jacket foolishly, and Bai Li laughed.

Shi Wuyuan didn't know what he was laughing, but he just thought he was smiling beautifully, so he touched his wet hair and smirked, so he didn't see Cuiping, who seemed to be obediently lying in Bai Li's arms. The bird's body was trembling slightly.

There were some scattered firewood in this mountain. I didn’t know what was brought in. Shi Wuyuan hugged the firewood into a ball, stretched out his fingers, and skillfully rubbed a small incantation for the stove, and the soft flames began to beat. After getting up, after a while, a small fire was lit, and the two of them sat down together. Bai Li's eyes fell on the half-wet letter and the ink was smudged, and asked, "What do you want? How long are you going?"

"Who knows?" Shi Wuyuan untied his hair, twisted the water on it, and grabbed two hands, "If you're lucky, maybe you can run into him when you go down the mountain, if you're unlucky, you'll catch up with him. It's not unusual to find him in a deep mountain or an old forest for three or five years."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a slightly gloomy look on Bai Li's face, and couldn't help but continued: "But don't worry, there is a small astrolabe in the bag that Master sent me, although I'm not good at home, Maybe it’s not accurate, but there is always a general orientation, and it’s not that he doesn’t have a long mouth, so ask him, how come you can find him after a month or two, and he must go and come back quickly.”

He was at the age when he wanted to play, and he said that Bai Li was not happy because he had left and no one would play with him, so he said again: "Last time I heard the little sister from Master Kuruo say, The market is very lively, and there are all kinds of things for sale... Hey, why don't you tell your mother, let's go down the mountain and have fun together!"

Bai Li hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said: "My mother said that there are so many people in the world under the mountain, and there are as many good people as there are bad people. The human heart is more complicated than the path in the woods in this valley, which is the most easy to get lost. People in the pie are not allowed to go down the mountain at will."

Shi Wuyuan was used to being lawless, so he didn't take any sect rules into his eyes, waved his hands and said, "Let's go secretly, so that your mother doesn't know."

He said it too naturally, and Bai Li couldn't help being stunned.

I saw Shi Wuyuan said eagerly: "I've never been down the mountain when I'm so old. I heard that there are cities and towns at the foot of the mountain, and the traffic is busy, and women go out in sedan chairs full of flowers - yes, wait until I have money. Now, I’ll buy you one too, and I’ll buy you the best-looking floral fabric to wear, snacks made of sweet-scented osmanthus and begonia to eat, and bells made of vanilla to play with, okay?”

The boy's eyes flickered, Bai Li almost nodded his head for a moment, he suddenly lowered his eyes and saw the little child's hand resting on the Kingfisher's body, hesitating for a moment, in the end he still shook his head: "But my catastrophe hasn't passed yet..."

Shi Wuyuan seemed to be dousing his head with a handful of cold water, patted his disheveled head, and muttered, "Yes."

There was half a fire between the two, and Bai Li turned his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something. When the fire was extinguished, his face became a bit gloomy. Shi Wuyuan also said that he was unhappy, where did he see him? Feeling gloomy, he hollowed out his thoughts to make him laugh, stood up and grabbed a few leaves of grass, hung them on the fire, and roasted them. .

Shi Wuyuan held the remaining piece of grass on the grasshopper's tail and handed it under Bai Li's nose: "Hey, little ion, smile."

Bai Li took it and smiled at him according to his words, but his eyes were still wide open, and the corners of his eyes were not even bent.

Shi Wuyuan rolled his eyes, clapped his hands together twice, and recited a mantra in a low voice. This was the puppet mantra he had just learned, and it was the art of attracting objects. There are more than 8,000 kinds. Unless it is fun, it is not very useful. No one else will study this kind of thing. I am afraid that in the entire Jiulu Mountain, there will be such an ignorant and ignorant thing, and it will be memorized from beginning to end. ripe.

This meeting was just used to coax Bai Li to play. saw that the grass-woven grasshopper stood up staggeringly in Bai Li's palm, as if he was just learning to walk. He was crutched, his head was wagging and his tail was wagging and he climbed up along his wrist, and he rolled over and turned somersaults on his backside.

"This is called donkey rolling."

"This is called monkey punching drunk."

"This is called..." Grasshopper climbed all the way up Bai Li's shoulders, and even poked his head out and pecked at the corner of Bai Li's mouth, as if he had kissed him. Bai Li was stunned and heard Shi Wuyuan "hehe" He laughed twice, his expression was a little bad, but his face was flushed, and he explained, "This is called stealing incense and jade, beauty, give the young master a good laugh."

Bai Li couldn't help but smile a little, but with a sullen face on purpose, he stretched out his hand to catch this particularly wretched grasshopper from his shoulders, and scolded, "Where did you learn that bastard."

Shi Wuyuan scratched his hair and said shyly: "That, Xiao Ion..."

Bai Li ignored him.

Shi Wuyuan thought for a while, then turned his back, touched a handful of black mud from the ground, and fiddled with his face for a long time, not knowing what he was doing. After a while, he turned his face and saw that he was using black mud on his forehead. A nondescript "King" was drawn on it, and a large circle of black mud was smeared on the eye rims. A few beards were drawn on each side of the corners of his mouth, and he stared at Bai Li with his cheeks puffed up, and then he suddenly raised his eyebrows high, his eyes Opening one big and one small, he bared his little white teeth, tilted his head, and made a very stupid face.

Bai Li and Cuiping Bird looked at him dully.

For a moment, the Cuiping bird "flopped" to the side and almost fell into the fire. Bai Li finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. Shi Wuyuan felt ashamed of amnesty, so he reached out and pressed his already sore cheeks, and followed him for a while.

Then he took out the astrolabe that Daozu had stuffed into his bag, and hung one hand on the astrolabe. Those thin threads climbed up as if they had come to life, hanging on his dirt that was still stained with mud. On Xixi's fingers, Shi Wuyuan picked up a small wooden stick and drew a dozen dazzling formulas on the ground next to him, saying, "Come on, let me calculate the cause and effect of this catastrophe, Xiao Ion. , what is your birthday?"

Bai Li's eyes flashed - Shi Wuyuan didn't know the taboos, although he knew that Bai Li was a monster, but he played with him every day, and he had long regarded him as a little friend like himself, and asked him casually.

The character of this monster is a very private matter, involving countless causes and consequences. It has always been known by the heavens and the earth, and the parents have always known it. After that, no one said it except the one and only the most intimate person in this life.

Seeing that he was silent, Shi Wucai raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Li stared at him for a moment, with Shi Wuyuan's unexplained complexity in his eyes, and after a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he said softly, "The third day of the twelfth lunar month of the Bingchen year is three quarters."
