The night was falling, and the stars were so bright that they trembled.The mountain wind passed through the leaves and whimpered through the forest, quickly taking away the last trace of heat from the skin.Shao Zongyan hid under an ancient tree that was blown down by the wind and rain. His body was curled up in a huge canopy, his breathing was thin and slow, and he carefully observed the movement outside through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
There were people searching for him everywhere, and the bright torches formed a line, rising and falling with everyone's footsteps, leaving bright rays of light in the pupils.Those people searched carefully for the traces left by him along the forest, the footsteps became more and more numerous, and the voices of everyone's voices became more and more clear, among which the loudest and most clearly heard was that voice. ...... demon way.
"My eldest lady counted her fate at that monster's place, and decided that she would not marry her, and even went on a hunger strike. The master was so angry that she ordered that the monster be found and killed!"
"Isn't the eldest son of Wanjianmen also looking for that demon Dao all over the rivers and lakes? I heard that the Wanjianmen of the demon dao made medicine for his sect master, so he hooked up with his aunt and almost got out of the wall!"
"If you all find that demon way, you must save his life for the sake of my Wuchen Villa, and hand him over to me. The young master of the family is fascinated by this monster way... Sigh..."
"It's so easy to force him to this mountain, don't let him run away, this monster is simply more cunning than a fox, and a mountain as small as ours can hide it..."
"That Yao Dao really has the ability to seduce people, is it really the incarnation of a vixen?"
……
The sound of people was getting closer and closer, and the snakes and rats in the small place where he was hiding were startled, and a few fluffy unknown objects rubbed his face and jumped into the branches and leaves.Shao Zongyan didn't even dare to catch his breath, his body shrank more and more tightly, his right hand tightly grasped his only self-defense weapon - an ebony whisk, ready to escape from this small shelter at any time.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a thick black shadow extended from not far away, and just as the black shadow covered his face through the gaps in the branches, someone in the distance suddenly shouted loudly: "There is a fire here! That monster has indeed stayed here before!"
The shadow that had extended above his head paused, and quickly moved away from where the sound came from.Another indistinct shout came from a distance, someone was saying: "The ashes of the fire are so cold, it seems that the demon has already run away."
He had prepared the cold fire, the trampled grass next to it, and the rags hanging on the bushes in the distance, in order to confuse the pursuers.Those people carefully checked around the fire, and they found the traces left by him. After discussing, most of them followed the clues to search down the mountain, and the rest divided into several paths and continued to search in the mountain. Just in case he's still hiding around here.
Fortunately, those people didn't notice the broken tree he was hiding in, and after waiting for another meal, the mountain became quiet again, and the birds and animals scared away by the crowd also returned to their own territory.
The little animals that stepped on his face and ran away also came back, and stepped on his face and hands as usual. This time, he took the time to feel the paw marks and weight, and thought it should be a few chubby animals. Vole.
These sharp little creatures felt safe, and probably it was safe here.Shao Zongyan finally took a deep breath, but he didn't dare to leave immediately. He only moved his hands and feet a little to warm his frozen skin.
Speaking of which, it was really innocent for him to be chased like this.He was just a wild Taoist priest sent by the declining alchemy sect. Later, the sect could no longer maintain it, and their group of disciples could only leave the mountain gate and go out to make a living by themselves.Other seniors who are good at alchemy can go to the nobleman's mansion to find a way out, but he is always involved in some unclear rumors for some reason, and some people even directly open up to seduce him, and the charges of seduction are suppressed. on his head.
In order to protect his innocence, he had no choice but to leave behind his alchemy work, which was half done and hadn't been paid yet.This kind of thing happened too often, so he simply stopped offering alchemy to others, and only relied on his fortune-telling ability to set up a small stall, selling some pills by the way, and barely earning a living.
But I don't know what's wrong with his fate. Even doing such a small business can always involve right and wrong.Either someone wanted to elope with him, or someone wanted to break his legs in order to prevent his daughter from eloping with him, causing him to have to move for a few days to set up a divination booth, and the little money he earned could not cover the travel expenses.
After leaving the mountain gate, his things were sold as pawns all the way, and now there are almost only his clothes left, and the medicine cauldron hidden in the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain. ...He rubbed his hands and feet to recover the blood while thinking, and when his fingertips were not so stiff, he climbed to a branch slightly higher than the ground, and sat with his body hugged all night.
He didn't sleep very peacefully that night, and he got up before dawn the next day.The insects and birds in the mountains hadn't started to sing yet, only the dead leaves and dewdrops rustled when he got up. It was so quiet that one almost thought that last night's pursuit was just a dream.
It's a pity that this pursuit is not only not a dream, but will continue for a long time.Based on Shao Zongyan's understanding of that group of people, although they escaped a catastrophe last night, they would not leave so easily, and they would have to stay here for a few days before going down the mountain.
He climbed out from the crown of the dead tree, took off his blue-gray Taoist robe and hung it on the branch, dusted off the dust with a whisk, then took off his middle coat, and wrapped his outer robe again.He dragged the fairly clean middle coat among the grass and branches and leaves covered with morning dew, brought it back until it was soaked, and wrung out water from the corner of the coat to drink little by little.
The dew was clear and sweet, and he was thirsty for another day and night, and it tasted like sweet rain.After collecting the dew several times with the middle coat, and having a hearty meal, the little Taoist became much more energetic.The pale and chapped lips were wetted by water, and returned to their original pinkness and softness. The corners of the mouth were naturally turned up, and there was a three-point smile even if he didn't smile;Wipe the ashes off his face again, comb his hair neatly again, and put the dust whisk on his arms, still looking like a real fairy.
It's a pity that I can't go down the mountain to set up a stall now, otherwise I can earn my breakfast.Shao Zongyan rubbed his stomach that was rumbling from hunger, sighed, and resigned himself to going deep into the woods to find something to eat.
Anyway, it was late autumn. Although there were no fruit trees in the forest, there were a few old pine trees with mature and cracked pine cones hanging on the branches. If the pine bark was peeled off, the white layer on the back could fill the stomach.There are also dark brown mushrooms that can be picked up under the tree. He often picks them up with his seniors at the mountain gate. They are very delicious when boiled in soup or stir-fried, but it is a pity that it is not convenient to light a fire right now, so they can only be eaten raw.
He pinched off the roots of the pine mushrooms, wiped off the dew on the umbrella cover, and was about to taste the taste, when a clear and ethereal voice suddenly came from above his head: "Young man, I think you have a unique root and a profound fortune, do you want to eat it?" ..."
The person Jiuli was chasing was awakened by the sound, and immediately jumped up, threw the mushroom as a hidden weapon at the source of the sound, picked up the hem of his clothes and ran away.However, after a few steps, there was a flash of a figure in front of him, and a white-haired Taoist with immortal demeanor stood in his way and asked with a smile, "Young man, do you want to cultivate immortality?"
……
This scene, this conversation, is a little... absurd, right?
Shao Zongyan himself is the kind of demon who refines the elixir of immortality, and he knows that immortality is hard to find. Those who want to seek immortality are either deceived by others or become accomplices of liars. What kind of Taoist priest is this in front of him?Looking at his face, he looks quite young. Could it be that his hair is dyed?
He hesitated and didn't make a sound, but the white-haired Taoist seemed to see through his thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Are you very lucky, and people follow you wherever you go, even if you don't ask for fame? These people often have family members or former lovers who hate you and want to separate you? Are you poorly related and wandering? Are you often bullied and unable to protect everything you love?"
... Is this Taoist really good at counting, or is he part of the group of people who came to arrest him and found out his details?
Shao Zongyan's long eyebrows were frowned, and the corners of his mouth, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, were also coldly pursed, but he still looked coquettish and seductive, without any deterrent power at all.The Taoist suppressed his smile, looked at him sympathetically, and sighed: "This is due to your luck. You are destined to have endless peach blossoms in this life and be bullied by others. Until one day you meet an expert like me, you can change your mind." Start all over again, stepping on the enemy's bones, hugging the enemy's woman, and blazing a kingly road."
There were people searching for him everywhere, and the bright torches formed a line, rising and falling with everyone's footsteps, leaving bright rays of light in the pupils.Those people searched carefully for the traces left by him along the forest, the footsteps became more and more numerous, and the voices of everyone's voices became more and more clear, among which the loudest and most clearly heard was that voice. ...... demon way.
