Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Dr. Mo returned to his pharmacy with a heavy heart.

As soon as he entered the house, he found that the atmosphere was not right.Tang Xiaotang hid behind a door and looked out timidly. Qin Lu stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, staring at a wall in deep thought.

Old Mr. Qin didn't wear a hat, only a thick coat, and he looked like he had just woken up.

"teacher?"

The ink carp followed subconsciously to look at the wall.

——There are traces of falling snow, and someone once climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

Although Zhushan County can't be said to never close the door at night and not pick up lost things on the road, as a doctor, Mo Li is still very prestigious here. Among them is the good foundation laid by his teacher Qin Lu, and more because of Mo Li's continuous treatment and rescue of people in the past four years.It's not that the doctors in the village don't care, but they can't go to the emergency room in the middle of the night, but the ink carp walks out, and it's not a big deal to cross the mountains, and the footsteps are fast.

Doctor Mo often carried the family members of the patients who came to seek medical treatment, and ran the mountain road for more than ten miles without blinking an eye.

Therefore, people in Zhushan County basically know that Doctor Mo has a good kung fu, but the common people's knowledge of martial arts is very poor. In their hearts, Qin Bukuai, who catches villains in the county government, and Wang Lihu, who killed tigers, are both better than Mo Carp. His martial arts are high.

As for Dr. Mo's kung fu, it was all practiced by picking herbs on the cliffs and traveling at night.

Ink carp: ...

Other doctors: ...

No, they don't know kung fu, it's not because they haven't picked enough medicine, and it's not because they haven't walked too much, it's really not.

People who eat whole grains will always get sick, regardless of whether they are rich or poor. Doctor Mo is easy to talk, and it doesn't matter if he can't afford the consultation fee for the time being, but local ruffians don't have such qualifications.Such a person who can't afford to offend, what kind of thief dares to hack the wall?

It's not that Mo Li looked down on those little thieves in Zhushan County, but that with such thick ice and such heavy snow, with the skills of those three-legged cats, they might not even be able to climb the top of the wall.

Mo Li took a few steps back, walked around the courtyard wall, and his expression slowly changed.

Zhushan County is a small place, and there are only three and a half people who can be regarded as having practiced martial arts, and that half is Qin Bukuai.The others are relying on their strong bodies and proficiency in foreign fists and feet. They have neither perfect kung fu nor internal strength.But today alone, Mo Li saw quite a few of them, not to mention the protector saintess of the holy lotus altar, but there was also a guy who climbed on the wall of his own house?

Mo Li re-entered the house, Tang Xiaotang ran over, and said with a little shame to his fingers: "Doctor Mo, it's all my fault, I was fooled by that person, I really thought he came in through the door." of……"

Tang Xiaotang told the story again, and Mo Li finally understood why Mr. Qin's expression was serious.

The position where the man stood after entering the yard was just outside Qin Lu's perception range. If he walked a few steps forward, Qin Lu would probably be alarmed.A master of the inner family with a deep cultivation base is very sensitive to the breath, not to mention the unkind comers.

"You said he was staring at you?" Mo Li picked up his junior brother with one hand, patted his head, and then his face.

Hmm, very cute, like the type that would be targeted by traffickers.

"His eyes are like knives, as if he wants to pierce someone." Tang Xiaotang nodded emphatically, and said loudly, "I've seen this man before, and Captain Qin quickly said that he was a visitor from outside the pass, and he even talked to Niu Uncle asked about Doctor Mo about you."

Mo Li couldn't help looking at Qin Lu.

None of the participants he met that day was a master of the inner family, why did the accomplices who appeared suddenly be different from other participants?And what's the situation, this person noticed him because of the ginseng collection, but he knew Mr. Qin's ability, and the ultimate goal was Tang Xiaotang, who was not as tall as the stove?Where is the causal relationship between these three things?

Qin Lu also had some headaches. When he woke up and saw the traces on the courtyard wall, that person had already disappeared. Based on Tang Xiaotang's few words, he couldn't figure out where that person was. what to do.

"teacher……"

"Ok?"

Mo Li hugged Tang Xiaotang, and asked seriously: "Do you have any enemies?"

Qin Lu glared, and was about to say something, Mo Li pointed to the junior brother in his arms and asked, "If you don't have one, where is Xiao Tang?"

"How could Xiaotang have enemies? How old is he? His parents are ordinary mountain people who don't even know a word. What kind of enemies can there be?" Qin Lu flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "As for being a teacher, I have nothing to do with him." Everyone who hates me has gone to hell."

Mo Li and Tang Xiaotang showed admiration on their faces, especially Tang Xiaotang, who was a child at heart, especially adored those heroes who were happy and enmity in the storytellers.

When Mr. Qin saw their eyes, he immediately said angrily: "It's not what you think. I just live longer. They don't have the ability to do that. Old people should eat on time and eat according to the season. eat..."

Mo Li hurriedly put down Tang Xiaotang, changed the subject and said, "Teacher, are you thirsty? I'll boil some hot water."

"Boy, go make tea for Mr. Qin!" Tang Xiaotang also ran away.

Qin Lu laughed, these two clever ghosts.

Aunt Ge is busy with needlework at the yamen, and dinner is managed by the yamen, so she can't go back to the pharmacy to cook.However, this was not a problem for Dr. Mo. There was no shortage of rice and grain in the house, so he brought out two dishes and one soup after doing some casual cleaning.

When it was time to turn on the lights in the evening, Uncle Ge came back with his neighbors. The accountant of the pharmacy also brought back a few cold and hard cooking cakes, which were torn open and soaked in broth. The taste was very good. Tang Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief. Filled two bowls.

When Aunt Ge stepped into the house, the table had just been cleaned up. She talked about Shenlong with great interest. Tang Xiaotang snuggled into her arms, and Uncle Ge who was washing the dishes looked from a distance. Like a family of three.

Mo Li watched silently for a while, then returned to his bedroom.

No lights were lit, and the moonlight was reflected on the snow outside, but the house was still quite bright.

At this time, if there is a small red clay stove, cooking tea or wine is a pleasure in the world, Qin Lu thought so, but didn't do it, he saw that Mo Li had something to say to himself.

"Shizhi, you have something on your mind."

"...Teacher, have you heard of dragon veins?"

Qin Lu paused, raised his head and asked, "Who told you?"

Mo Li sold Master Li without hesitation.

"Xue Lingjun's staff actually show off these hearsay things?" Qin Lu was very dissatisfied.

"But teacher, if it's not the dragon's veins, what about the dragon that appeared in the daytime?" Mo Li hesitated, and then asked what had been lingering in his heart for a long time, "Qimao Mountain is different from other places. , there are so many beasts, could it be because of the dragon veins?"

Qin Lu was speechless for a moment.

As a well-educated person, he hates things like auspiciousness and fairy tales very much.

Those rumors about the appearance of a dragon in the clouds, including the increase of wild beasts in the mountains, and the digging of elixir, etc., are all considered by Mr. Qin as "auspiciousness". Anyone who is an official knows that auspiciousness is all about bragging.If those in power like to hear it, then there will be auspicious signs every year, and visions will appear every month, and they can change their patterns every day.

So when a dragon really appeared in the sky, Mr. Qin was shocked.

"Teacher, I want to go back to the mountains to have a look."

If after the dragon veins appear in the world, there are elixir all over the mountains and plains, will the white ginseng turn into a human form?Where's the fox?What about snakes?

The ink carp couldn't sit still.

Qin Lu hesitated to speak, he reckoned that his student's illness had fallen again.

——Mr. Qin suddenly had a strange idea in his heart, maybe Mo Li is not sick, and what he said is true?

Qin Lu was stunned by his own thoughts, and he couldn't help recalling the first time he saw Moli.

That year, it rained heavily for three consecutive days in Zhushan County. The water level of the river soared and overflowed the river course, eventually forming a mountain torrent.According to the direction of the mountain, Qin Lu calculated that there was a village in the direction of the flood, and rushed to rescue him, but he was a step too late, and the whole village fell into a vast ocean. Disappeared without a trace.

Qin Lu searched all the way along the rushing water, hoping that a few people would get into the wooden barrels and tubs to save a chance of life.

In the end, I searched back and forth three times, only to find a naked doll on a thick broken branch.

The child may have been frightened, so he didn't cry, but just hugged the tree trunk with a blank expression.Qin Lu picked him up, and the child didn't resist. No matter what he asked, the child didn't speak, and the child's eyes were clear and clear, innocent and ignorant.

Qin Lu didn't expect that a child picked up from the mountain torrents would have a pair of good muscles and bones for martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't decide to keep the child after picking up the child.

Qin Lu taught the child to read and write stroke by stroke, teaching him the way of life and the foundation of the world.

Mo Li is the name the child himself said. Apart from this name, he doesn't seem to remember anything about the past.He is just like an ordinary child, growing his head every year. Qin Lu watched his student change from a finger-biting doll to the current appearance of Yushu Linfeng.

How could it be a fish demon?Aren't the appearances of the transformed monsters recorded in Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters all fixed?

"Teacher? Teacher!"

Mo Li looked helplessly at Mr. Qin's sudden distraction, and could only yell several times in a row.

"Oh, where did you just say? You can go back if you want, as a teacher..." Qin Lu wanted to say that he would go with him, but what happened during the day made Qin Lu subconsciously feel that Tang Xiaotang could not be left alone .

Mo Li saw Qin Lu's worry, so he simply told about the holy lotus altar and asked Mr. Qin to watch it at home.

Sure enough, Qin Lu had never heard of the Holy Lotus Altar. He lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years and did not ask about world affairs for a long time. He did not expect that the world would become more chaotic instead of peaceful.

"Now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, no one will come to the Holy Lotus Altar."

Qin Lu has never seen people from the holy lotus altar, but in the history books, they are called immortals like this, and they are called missionaries, but in fact there are too many rebellious things.It is nothing more than preaching that chanting mantras can make you invulnerable to swords and guns, and that you can eat enough to make a fortune if you convert, and then try your best to demonize non-believers and instigate the people to burn, kill and loot.

Mr. Qin thought, if he hadn't been old, he might have packed his bags and gone out, and chopped off the head of the leader of Laoshizi with one knife.

"Master, I will go to the county government office tomorrow and ask Xue Lingjun where the holy lotus altar is located."

"Teacher!" Mo Li was shocked, he knew Qin Lu's temper very well.

It's freezing cold, why go far away?No matter how good the martial arts skills of Qin Lu are, he is still a human being. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and they shoot ten thousand arrows at every turn, which is too dangerous.

"Don't be nervous, I won't go, Xiaotang is still at home!" Qin Lu said sullenly, "Since I know that someone is trying to trick our master and apprentice, I will naturally bring Xiaotang with me, with such a burden , where else can I go?"

Mo Li heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly bid farewell to the teacher, and went to the mountains in the dark.

The cold wind howled, and as soon as it entered the mountain, the ink carp felt vaguely around, as if there was something.

"...Aura?"

The ink carp closed its eyes suspiciously, and explored its surroundings.

It's not aura, it's a strange breath.

Doctor Mo's face changed, he thought of the aura he had slept in the spring a few days ago, and suddenly noticed that breath, which was exactly the same as this one.

The ink carp immediately ignored the ginseng and the fox, and ran to the grotto.

The closer you get, the more obvious the aura becomes.

Finally arrived at the grotto, Moli rushed in. The cave was covered with thick snow, and there was no one there.

No, the pool isn't frozen, and there's something on the surface.

The moonlight shines into the water from the top of the grotto, and the silver light forms lines, and there is a mass of white mist on the water surface, sinking and floating.

The ink carp took a deep breath, and cautiously approached the water's edge.

The cloud of white mist suddenly floated up, and the expression on Mo Li's face changed. The source of the breath he felt was this thing, and he even felt that the other party was devouring the essence of the moon.

what is this?

monster?Another fish?Or dragon veins?

The white mist arrived in front of the ink carp, it was only the size of a child's fist, and it was round.

Suddenly, four small claws and a tail emerged from the white ball, rolling along Doctor Mo's robe to his feet.

Mo carp was dumbfounded.

This, this looks like a mouse?

No, mice don't look like this, nor are they so fat.It was fluffy like a ball, but still soft, the ink carp stiffened its body, feeling the wet moisture on its body, and the feeling of its tiny claws pressing on the shoe.

Well, so small.

The author has something to say:

Fat Mouse: Unexpected.jpg

No no, this is not a cultivation text, Gong's body is elsewhere, he just came to tease Mo Li.
