[Xue Xiao colleagues] Spring is late

After all, Xue Yang didn't snatch the rest of the meat on the plate, only picked a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and was urged by Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan to go to a family living at the foot of the southern mountain in the city. Because he was going to do something serious, Xue Yang There wasn't much fuss anymore, the three of them quickened their pace and arrived at the place in less than half an hour.After entering the area divided by the south of the city, I realized that there were no people left in that area. There was a whole row of houses passing by with iron generals hanging on the doors, and there was no one to be found in the deserted area.

If it is just an ordinary beast and monster, and only moves in the deep mountains, and there are no large-scale natural and man-made disasters, such a scene is very strange.

After searching for a while, the three of them found the house of the man who was bitten and was said to be unconscious from a place where there was smoke in the yard. The yard was small and neatly tidied up. Down the corridor, there are many animal furs hanging, including roe deer, hares, foxes and deer skins.

It was a thin woman who opened the door for them. After looking around for a long time, she led them in tremblingly. She didn't dare to speak loudly, and only asked intermittently: "Are you...do you have something to do?"

Xiao Xingchen's eyes fell on the man lying on the bamboo chair in the yard, the woman hurried forward a few steps, stood sideways beside the man, and said worriedly: "The Taoist priest came here for the monster on the mountain. ?"

Xiao Xingchen nodded and said, "Exactly, has he not woken up?"

"Sometimes he sleeps and sometimes wakes up." The woman frowned and said, "If you want to know anything, just ask me. He told me when he was awake."

Xiao Xingchen glanced at the man's exposed ankle, it was swollen and black as if filled with black ink in the skin, and there were two sharp tooth marks in the middle, which were still oozing blood, similar to the wound from a snake bite Very similar.

Then why did others die after being bitten, but he was the only one who survived?Xiao Xingchen stretched out his hand to reach the top of the man's head, injecting spiritual energy along his forehead and moving it all the way down, as if it had moistened everything and then slid into the meridians of his whole body. The vigorous and gentle spiritual power drove all the poison in his body down his chest Persecuted, within a moment, the man woke up leisurely, a puddle of poisonous blood was gathering under his feet, and his ankle was visibly swollen.

The woman wept with joy, her eyes were sharp and her hands quickly supported him, she hurriedly shouted: "A Huan! You're awake!" Then she turned her head and hurriedly thanked Xiao Xingchen: "Dao Dao's kindness, our husband and wife really have nothing to repay. She bent her knees and knelt down on the ground: "The Taoist priest accepts my obeisance first, I still have Yu Yin at home, I hope the Taoist priest will not be disgusted..."

Xiao Xingchen hastily helped the man up and waved his hands: "Ma'am, you don't need to be too polite, it's just a matter of raising your hands. When I probed his meridians just now, I found that he seemed to be wearing something. Is it a talisman or something? Maybe it was this thing that saved his life." maybe."

The woman shook her head blankly to express her ignorance, but the man named A Huan straightened up, took out a yellow talisman folded into small squares from his bosom, handed it to Xiao Xingchen, and said, "Is this what the Taoist is talking about?"

Xiao Xingchen picked up the thing and took a look. There was some red paint on it, which should be cinnabar. As soon as he opened Xiao Xingchen and took a look, his face was not right. He was surprised and puzzled. He held the talisman paper and asked. Said: "Where did you get this thing?"

This style of painting, this familiar flying dragon and phoenix dance, and the scrawled and almost unrecognizable Xue character mark, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Xue Yang's handwriting. How could it appear in such an inconspicuous small place in Dongting County? Xue Yang Have you been here before?But even if he had been here, with his temper, how could he draw such a thing as an exorcism talisman for others, as long as it is normal to kill and set fire.

A Huan glanced at Xiao Xingchen's face, then looked at the thing that Xiao Xingchen took apart, and asked cautiously, "Master Daoist? What's wrong with this thing? Is there any problem?"

"Not at all." Xiao Xingchen returned to his senses, "It was this exorcism talisman that saved you. If I'm not mistaken, you should have more than one. That's why everyone around here was harassed by evil spirits, and then ran to other places. places to avoid disasters, but your family is not afraid."

A Huan nodded and said: "That's right, this talisman was picked up by a distant relative of mine who passed by the Shu area a long time ago. It is said that a local bully got drunk and wrote and threw it. That person has a very bad reputation in the local area. , This thing is avoided like a snake and a scorpion like others. It just so happens that my relative is a knowledgeable person. Except for the ones that were swept away by the wind, the talismans that I got back were divided into each of my relatives. I just wanted to comfort myself. Who Knowing that this thing is actually useful.”

Xiao Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Then you not only have to thank your relatives, but also thank that... little rascal who doesn't know who he is after drinking." Yan's went to see Xue Yang again. Xue Yang was pulling the snow-white animal furs on the tree. He seemed to have sensed something. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Xingchen looking at him with curled lips, and said with distaste, "You're done." No? Nope, hurry up and get this off, I've taken a fancy to it."

Xiao Xingchen said helplessly: "This is someone else's thing, you..."

"Prince Daoist!" The woman hurriedly said, "I have this thing every year. If the young master likes it, it's not worth giving it to him. It's a great kindness for the Taoist priest to save my husband."

Xiao Xingchen stretched out his hand and said, "Then you should thank him, he was the one who drew the demon-exorcism talisman."

A Huan and his wife's eyes widened. They didn't expect that the owner of the yellow talisman he was talking about was in front of him. He also said that the other person was a notorious bully. He was really uttering wild words, so he knelt down to make amends in a hurry, but Xiao Xingchen stopped him. The two said: "He is young and ignorant, his temperament is inevitably spoiled and willful, but his disposition is not too bad, as long as you are fine, you don't need to kneel down deliberately."

Xue Yang stared and pointed at himself, and Song Lan both had a hellish expression, how could I do good things alone?How could a man do good things?With suspicion on his face, everyone thought that Xiao Xingchen had definitely admitted the wrong person and expressed the wrong kindness.

Xiao Xingchen ignored the two of them, and carefully asked about the monster's characteristics, only to find out that it wasn't some kind of poisonous snake, but a fine weasel, but it seemed to be able to transform into a human form and speak human words.

On the way up the mountain, Xiao Xingchen remembered Xue Yang's drunken drawing of talismans again. While laughing, he lamented that everyone only remembered that there was a notorious bully in Kuizhou, but no one remembered that there was such a bully. He never showed up for hundreds of miles around. Over such things as demons and walking corpses.

Regardless of others, regardless of past and present lives, or even himself, he only knows and remembers the evil he has done.

Sure enough, Xue Yang got the animal fur, and asked him what he was going to do, but he didn't say anything, just followed Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan with his back on his shoulders, looking around and jumping up and down, it didn't look like he was going to catch it at all. What kind of evil spirits, it looks like he is going to play monkeys, anyway, following Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, he doesn't need to work hard, just join in the fun and gain insights.

After climbing up to this not-so-small nameless barren mountain, the visible distance became shorter and shorter. The three of them realized that something was wrong. It should be the time of the day when the sun is at its strongest. There was hardly a trace of light.The more you go in, the projections in the gaps between the leaves and branches become darker and darker, and in the end it is filled with gray mist, with an annoying strange smell, and the eyes of Xun are burning and hurting.

Both Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan took their swords and walked forward step by step along the traces of the branches. After walking not far, they arrived at a slightly flat depression. In the large stone cave, the strange smell began to disappear, and even the gray fog of hot eyes dissipated.

The surrounding area was too quiet, and there were no traces or paw prints of monsters passing by after a long delay. Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan were planning to search separately, but Xue Yang disappeared when he turned around. No wonder the road was so quiet, but he didn't know Whenever he left the two of them.

Xiao Xingchen was worried and angry and scolded himself for being careless, so he had to discuss with Song Lan to separate and find someone first, and told Song Lan not to go too far, and remember to meet up with the sound of Shuanghua and Fuxue sword later signal.

This depression is very quiet. Before entering, you can hear the chirping of birds elsewhere. After entering this depression, you can't even hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.Knowing something was wrong, Xiao Xingchen raised his vigilance, walked down the depression for a while, and the surrounding scene changed again, but it was covered with green grass, the fish swimming in the stream was crystal clear, and the nearby trees were also waving in the wind. A unique beauty of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

It is so strange!

Xiao Xingchen found a place on Gaopo and stood there and called Xue Yang twice, but suddenly he smelled a scent, and the sound he shouted after that, turned around and echoed back to him, as if it didn't reach anywhere else at all.He tried again, with the same result. He thought that some kind of enchantment barrier had been set up here, so he stretched out his hand to touch it, and then stabbed a sword with Shuanghua, only to find that there was nothing in front of him. .

He had no choice but to go down the high slope, and walked a few steps along the edge, trying to find out if there was another way to get there, but when he looked up, he saw Xue Yang rolling on the grass with something in his mouth, with grass in his mouth, beeping. He muttered and complained: "Where did Xiao Xingchen go? Could it be that he and Song Lan left? His uncle, I wanted to make him a cloak, but he dumped me." As he spoke, he threw his hands away, He threw the snow-white fur on his shoulders to the branch without hesitation.

It was only then that Xiao Xingchen realized that Xue Yang wanted these things to make clothes for him, and even though he said he hated him, he still remembered him for such trivial things.

Xiao Xingchen looked at the tree. It was not far from him, only two or three steps away. He could even touch the tree and hear Xue Yang's voice. Why did he shout, Xue Yang? Yang could neither hear his voice nor see him.

He reached out to take something and carried it on his shoulder, then moved a few steps closer to the direction of the flowing water, and touched it forward again. After touching it, he found that he seemed to have entered this strange place, and was about to go to find Xue after being overjoyed. Yang, but saw a figure coming from the other end not far away.

The man was dressed in white and held a long sword in his hand. His face was like a flower at dawn in spring, a star in summer night, clouds in autumn evening, and snow in midwinter. His steps were as light as if he was stepping on the nine heavens and the moon. He stopped not far from Xue Yang. With affection in his eyes, he said softly, "A Yang, come here."

Xue Yang turned around, and the thing he was carrying showed Lushan's true face. It was a rabbit with red nose and snow-white hair. Xue Yang grabbed his two ears and became impatient: "If you let me go, I will go there? Then I am very happy." No shame, don't go!"

The person who came was not angry, but just looked at Xue Yang and wanted to cry: "A Yang, you forgot? You said you liked me very much and wanted to be with me forever, come here quickly."

Xue Yang seemed surprised, and then he opened his mouth wide, blushing, embarrassed and annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you talking nonsense about? When did I ever tell you this kind of thing? People laugh their teeth out!"

The man seemed to be in disbelief. He was on the verge of falling, his eyes were red, and a tear was about to fall. He said affectionately: "You really forgot me? You once hunted with me at night, Sleeping together every night, you don't remember everything?"

Xue Yang scratched his head and murmured, "Why are you still crying? You are so wronged? It sounds like the truth. Could it be that my memory is really messed up?"

"Of course! In order to save my soul, you..."

"Xue Yang!"

Xue Yang turned his head in a daze, his face was full of surprise and bewilderment, "Huh? Why are there two Xiao Xingchens!"
