Penglai delusion

Xi Mo was full of sleep, and got out of bed by the candle shadow, wanting to see if Jiang Tan was resting in the outer room.As soon as he went out, he didn't see anyone.

He saw the water dripping glass on the shelf, knew that it should be bright outside, and thought that Jiang Tan had probably gone out.

He rubbed his eyes, and wanted to go to the lower cave to fetch water to freshen up, and started to tidy up the poison mat.Only then did I get off the stone ladder, but I glanced into the cedar like a ghost, and saw the river pool resting among the branches, the sky was intertwined, the shadows of the trees were hazy, and the misty rain was heavy, as if the cold pond was not tied to a boat.

Xi Mo tiptoed to the edge of the cliff, sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath of the morning air, and tasted the smell of rosin and stone, as well as some burnt sweetness after the precipitation of the sun.

He also wants to sleep like a river, leaning on a pine tree with arms folded, facing the mountains and the sky.Looking at the graceful and leisurely appearance, it is really elegant.I only looked down and saw the bottomless abyss, I shivered, and even hesitated to wake up Jiangtan.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

This man can still fall asleep.Obviously there is no cultivation method, but hanging in such a place mysteriously, if you fall, you will definitely not be able to survive.

Xi Mo saw that Jiang Tan was exhaling evenly, but suddenly thought of a case of illness he had encountered when he went out with Mr. Cao.

It was a peasant woman who suffered from nocturnal excursions since she was a child. After giving birth, she became ill again. She climbed up to the roof in the middle of the night, and then rested on the roof without moving.Until the baby woke up her husband by crying, and waited for his wife not to come, and saw that the son was crying hard, so he had to go out to find someone.Calling his wife's name all the way to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a muffled noise, and when he turned around, he saw the peasant woman sitting in a pool of blood with her broken leg, with a stupid expression on her face, and she was still alive.

The husband was terrified, so he knocked on the door of the hospital all night.Along the way, I was still very frightened, thinking that my wife had some evil disease, and said that I would ask the sorceress to do the magic trick at dawn.

Mr. Cao went with Xi Mo, and after hearing and asking about it, he explained the story of the Central Plains.He touched the bones and fixed them with yew wood boards. When he came to change the wound medicine the next day, he brought a pair of Anshen Powder prepared at night. After taking care of them for more than a month, the peasant woman gradually regained her senses. No guesswork.

From then on, Xi Mo knew that night walkers should not be woken up casually, and they would become fools if they were shocked by accident.

He scratched his head, and immediately thought of a kind of embroidered grass that he had only seen after Penglai.

The grass is called Jipu, also known as Yishan.The shape is like a canopy, the big branches and leaves are small, and the roots are like silk, turning into wind.Cool in nature, can repel insects and refresh the mind.

He once saw 萐萝 near the hut in Chaiyuan, and he would pick it up to make fans when it was too hot in summer.

Presumably, just blowing it like that, Jiangtan got the smell of 萐萝, and he could wake up without any problems.I don't know what face this person will have when he wakes up and sees himself hanging on the tree.

Xi Mo was both worried and amused, so he climbed up the ladder and pushed the door to pull weeds outside.However, after a push, he realized that this door was actually driven by spiritual power.

He couldn't help but his eyes darkened, thinking that his new master was hopeless.If there is a next time, I would rather go to sleep on the pine branch by myself than put it on the river to take risks.

Thinking of this, Xi Mo had no choice but to go down to the storage cave, untied the rope that tied the barrel by the well, wrapped it tightly around the stone ring around the well a few more times, tied one end around his waist, and tested the tightness. , I touched the edge of the cedar, thinking about getting Jiangtan down before talking about other things.

Standing by the tree, he felt the cool wind pouring into his nostrils, and he didn't dare to look down, so he blocked a bunch of pine branches, gritted his teeth, opened his legs, and took a few steps to the branch where the river was perched. .

The closer you get, the more you feel that this person has a unique tranquility.Between one breath and one breath, it seems to have merged with the tree.

Xi Mo had to hold his breath for fear of waking him up.

As soon as he got close, he took off the rope loop around his waist and tremblingly wanted to put it on the person, but Jiang Tan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with deep eyes.

The look was so cold that Xi Mo was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably horrified in his heart.

Jiang Tan looked at him indifferently for a few moments, as if he recognized him, his face softened a little, but he didn't understand why.Then Xi Mo said in a daze, "Master, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Tan couldn't help but see that he hid the rope loop in his hand behind his back.

Confused, "What are you doing?"

Xi Mo smiled, "I wanted to call you, but I'm afraid of heights."

Jiang Tan nodded, "You don't have to come up, stay inside so I can hear you."

"Yes, I remember." Xi Mo took a few steps back in embarrassment, but unexpectedly stepped on the ground, the foreground immediately began to float up, and his mind became cold. He subconsciously grabbed a branch on the side, but it was Jiang who grabbed his hand. Tan sleeves.

Jiang Tan, when Xi Mo fell off the branch, he had already leaned over and grabbed the rope around his waist.As soon as the two of them were stuck together suddenly, the branch they were sheltering couldn't bear it, and it sounded vaguely about to break.

Jiang Tan said "catch up", and immediately raised his palm and slapped off the branch. Taking advantage of the moment when the branch was folded under his feet, he took advantage of the momentum with his foot, as if he was riding on the wind, and used that skillful force to collide with the pine trees a few times. , Enron fell on the edge of the cliff.

Looking at Xi Mo again, he grasped it tightly enough, half of his coat was torn off, he was still clinging to his arm, and he raised his face and smiled, "Master is so amazing!"

Jiang Tan pulled his arm back with all his strength, pulled up the front of his clothes, and let out a "hmm".

Seeing that he didn't mean to blame him, Xi Mo first denounced himself, and then told about the nocturnal travel syndrome, and finally said with regret, "I will not dare to speculate on my own in the future, and I hope the matter of today will come from Master." Punishment!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tan was silent for a long time, and only said, "No need."

After thinking for a while, he untied the jade token on his wrist, "The competition is approaching, you need to take care of your body. If you want anything, go and change it with the old man."

Xi Mo didn't dare to answer for a moment, he hesitated for a while before saying, "Master, I am now a disciple of Qingxu, can I have my own jade order?"

Jiang Tan said, "It's already being made." He said and handed the jade order to the child, "Take it."

Xi Mo didn't want to disturb Qingmeng and get such a result, so he had to tie the jade ring on his wrist and listened to Jiang Tan, "I'll be back at Wushi today, you can do whatever you want here."

After saying that, he went up the stone ladder, put the things beside the big table into the woven fur straw basket, and was about to go out without saying a word.

"Master." Xi Mo looked at Jiang Tan anxiously, "I can't open this cave."

"You can open it by touching the jade ring." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Xi Mo watched Jiangtan go away, and for a few moments he really wanted to follow.I only thought in my heart that now that I have been beaten upright, since I have to stay in an upright manner, it actually loses the meaning of participating in the peak gate competition.He was extremely happy to be able to live here, even eating white rice and lettuce all the time.

He suddenly didn't want to go anywhere.

Now I'm planning to wait for my hands to be quick, first go to the valley to cultivate a piece of land, then move the poison in the tripod basin, and then think about the agricultural and poison prescriptions.He no longer had to worry about Penglai clearing the way, he just felt that the sharp sword that was always hanging over his head was finally held in his palm, and he cut off the cage and shackles with his own hands.

He pressed the jade ring to his heart, and stroked it carefully, his eyes were soft, and his heart was also soft.

Jiang Tan...does he really never get angry?

After lingering like this until the afternoon, Xi Mo still went down Qianbi Cliff.When he knocked on the firewood garden, he saw a few japonica plants outside the kitchen, couldn't help laughing, picked them up and put them in his arms, thinking about going back to Jiangtan at night to play.Seeing the old man with such a smile on his face, he was even more unmoved by his sarcasm. He laughed so hard that his blood flowed backwards, and he hurriedly kicked him out after marking the letter.

Xi Mo packed a basket of cooking utensils for food and various condiments, and picked flowers and plants while walking, and would come to pick up whatever he saw pleasing to the eye.When he got to the cliff steps, he found that there was no room for clothes on his body, and he was panting and sweating profusely.With a smile on his face, but not much, he simply found a shady place, put the basket on, took out a sand pear and bit it open.

He slowly sucked the pear meat, he felt like chewing a mouthful of frosted honey, his lips and teeth were clear, and the bottom of his tongue produced fluid.He couldn't help squinting, thinking that he might as well just stay here and wait for Jiang Tan, and when the two of them went back together, he would give him the other pear.

Thinking about it further, I feel bad, I should go back to the cave to prepare the food first.In the morning, Jiangtan felt a little scared away by himself, and hurried away without even taking a bite of food, but he had to make up for it at night.

Xi Mo broke his finger and medicine finger, so he couldn't hold the knife, so he simply burned a clay pot of grass mushroom porridge, then boiled the green beans with salt and pepper, and carefully pinched a plate of mung bean cakes to steam. on the drawer.

When Jiangtan entered the door, he smelled a quiet and ripe fragrance.Xi Mo was leaning on the low table to read a book, when he heard the noise, he ran over, "Master!"

Jiang Tan suddenly felt that he had an extra dog.

"The rice is ready, the porridge is warm on the stove, why don't you eat now, I'll serve the rice!"

No, there is an extra son.

"Okay." After finishing speaking, he saw Xi Mo bouncing down the stone ladder, put down the straw basket and followed, the dinner was already set up on the table, and the food served was fragrant but not greasy, warm but not dry.

Xi Mo stirred his bowl of porridge, and said with a smile, "Here are the mushrooms I just picked today, including chicken fir, sheep tripe, beef liver, pine flower, and green head. They are very delicious."

He looked at Jiang Tan and nodded, said "very good", then pointed to the strangely shaped mung bean cake and smiled, "This one looks a bit ugly, but it still tastes the same, Master, don't be disgusted."

Jiang Tan took a piece and ate it with porridge and green beans.

Seeing people enjoying themselves, Xi Mo said hesitantly, "Master, I have some concerns about the Grand Competition of the Peak Gate." Seeing people raised their eyes, he said even more melancholy, "Master, you know, yesterday Why did the people from the main peak want to arrest me?"

Without waiting for Jiang Tan's answer, he sighed, "Because I planted the ancient poison Rongying, and they couldn't find a solution, so they wanted to ask me about it." Stealing a glance at the opposite side, he found that Jiang Tan didn't respond, so he guessed that he had probably died. Knowing this, he continued, "Yesterday, I was saved because of your help. But if I go to participate in the Grand Competition, I am a rootless person. If I meet those people again, I may never come back again." .”

He said, "Saving your life is the most important thing. I haven't submitted my signature yet, so I don't have to go to the competition. I'm just worried that if I don't go, Master will be angry and think I've lied to you."

After finishing speaking, he raised a pair of frowning brows and looked over, seeing the calm waves in the river, he said, "I was going to tell you about this."

"Simo," he said, "you may have roots."
