How to Raid the Flower of Low Ridge

Gathering?Shen Yun was a little surprised when he heard the answer, and then he realized that it was just a casual statement of the Dragon King to fool ordinary people.

Lu Miyuan continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"Later... that's how we got to know each other."

With that lamp, the fog and road in the woods no longer hindered him.In the past six months, Bian Dacheng secretly went to find immortals from time to time during the heavy apprenticeship work.

The immortal is gentle and kind, well-informed, and knows countless things that Bian Dacheng has never heard of, which makes people instinctively want to get close.Immortals are immortals who live in the sky. Naturally, they are very interested in the life of ordinary people and the appearance of Xingling, but the immortals have never gone down the mountain. Bian Dacheng asked him why, and he only said that he was afraid that his appearance would make him feel uncomfortable. scare the people.

Who would be intimidated by such a good-looking fairy?Bian Dacheng couldn't understand.

The fairy's life is also very simple. Most of the time he spends his time reading in the house, writing a lot of words, and then collecting them into a book. Occasionally he will stand in front of the big tree in a daze.The fairy has been living alone in the forest.

Only once, Bian Dacheng saw other people appear in the cabin in the forest.

"Other people? Are they also immortals who look similar to the White Deer Immortal?" Shen Yun listened to Bian Dacheng's description, and felt that Hagi Lv, the Dragon King, was a bit too leisurely. It would be strange if few subordinates came to him for office reports throughout the year. .

"No." Unexpectedly, Bian Dacheng shook his head. He stretched out a finger and pointed at Shen Yun lightly, "It's a master immortal who is about the same age as you."

That day the master was going to send his wife back to her natal home, the shop closed early, and all the seniors went to drink, and he was the only one stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun to drill into the ghost forest—he secretly used leftover wood to give to the gods these days Carved a white deer mask and wanted to give it to the gods.

As a result, when he lit the lamp and walked to the front of the house, he found standing in front of the house a well-dressed young man he had never seen before.

It stands to reason that such a man dressed with sleeves should be equipped with a sharp weapon such as a sword, but this man has an empty waist, only holding a half-worn oil-paper umbrella in his hand.Hearing rustling noises in the forest, the young man turned his head and saw Bian Dacheng. He was slightly startled, then gestured to Bian Dacheng for silence, and pointed to the door with his eyes—the study room inside was lit.

The other party actually looked a few years older than himself, but Bian Dacheng was instinctively awed by the detached and alienated temperament on his body, and he obeyed the boy's instructions.The two waited outside the house for about a quarter of an hour before the door opened.

The one who came out first was the Immortal. He held a scroll in one hand, opened the door frame with the other, and still turned his head to talk to the people in the house: "...I still don't agree with your method. There are millions of mountains and rivers in Shenzhou. Even then, it may not be successful.”

"That has to be found."

The owner of the voice appeared from the shadows, and Bian Dacheng, who was waiting outside the house, followed the voice and couldn't help being stunned.

"He is very white, very white." Bian Dacheng described, "Hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are all white. I was shocked at the time, thinking I saw some ghosts and ghosts."

As soon as the snow-white boy came out of the house, the well-dressed boy greeted him. He opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and lifted it over the opponent's head.The snow-colored boy looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's okay, the sun has already set, so there should be no need to open an umbrella."

The fairy continued the conversation: "If I were you, I would patiently wait for Xingling to grow."

"That's too late." The snow-colored boy shook his head, "This world...can't wait that long."

He raised his head, looked at the luxuriant giant tree covering the sky above his head, and said to the god, "I don't think that Xingling is the only place where the earth's core is hidden in the vastness of China. Don't worry, no matter what, I will keep looking for it." , If you fail once, start the second time, and the third time... it will always succeed."

The god was silent for a while, seeming to be defeated by the determination and confidence of the other party, "Forget it, since you have made a decision, I will not stop you anymore. I will give you everything I can give you. ..."

He glanced at the boy holding the umbrella, "Please take care of this little fairy master."

The well-dressed boy nodded and replied, "Of course."

And the snow-colored boy saluted the god with a smile: "After I leave, I don't know if there will be another chance to see you again. I hope you must take care of yourself."

"You too." The immortal handed him a scroll in his hand, "Go, Dan Cheng."

"...It's Shen Dancheng." Shen Yun murmured suddenly.

This snow-white boy was the one he had seen in the files of Tianxian Court, who dropped out of school at the same time as his master.

So it was self-evident who the other boy was waiting outside.

"Master Bian," Lu Miyuan on the side noticed that it was another sentence from Bian Dacheng's memory, "What the snow-white boy said to the gods was 'Xingling is not the only place that contains the earth's core', right? ?”

Master Bian turned his head and thought for a while: "I don't remember very clearly, but the original words are almost like this."

"What's wrong with this sentence?" Shen Yun asked.

"It's nothing, this is the first time I heard the word 'earth core', and I'm a little curious." Lu Miyuan gave Shen Yun a wink, and said, "Go ahead and talk about it first, what happened after sending those two away?"

Shen Yun knew that Lu Miyuan would have something to say later, so he stopped asking and listened to Bian Dacheng's continuation.

"Later..." Bian Dacheng sighed, "The day after these two immortal masters left, the immortals also disappeared."

The fog cleared, the road disappeared, and the hut standing in front of the tree disappeared without a trace.Bian Dacheng turned around and around under the tree, the weeds under his feet and ankles were all crushed by him, and he couldn't find any traces of foundation and life here.

Only the precious lamp at home told him that what he experienced before was not a dream.

After the immortals left, Bian Dacheng was in a daze for half a year. He made mistakes in his work several times, was ridiculed by his senior brothers several times, and was beaten by his master several times. into the bottom of the box.

Only the throat still seemed to be blocked by a mess, unable to spit it out or swallow it.

One day, a storyteller from Yunyou came to the teahouse, and he told stories about Shenzhou and gossip. Bian Dacheng followed the crowd and listened. He felt that something was wrong.

The master said that there is a magic dragon in Outland, the original body is hundreds of feet long, its mouth is bigger than a city gate when it is opened, and its sharp claws are as thick as a house beam;

The master said that the magic dragon usually walks with a human body, but there are horns on the forehead, scales on the neck and cheeks, and a tail behind the back, which cannot be cleansed, so it is generally afraid to see people;

The master said that the devil dragons are cruel, and they have no conscience even though they take the form of a human being.

……

"If it wasn't for the Sword Master Jiang Yao who set the world with his sword and drove the dragons back to their hometown, tsk tsk, the people in our house probably wouldn't be enough for the dragons to fit their teeth..."

The crowd burst into laughter because of the storyteller's exaggerated metaphor, but a voice shouted in the middle of the laughter: "Liar!"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and people looked back one after another, only to see Bian Dacheng blushing and repeating: "Liar!"

"Hey, where did you come from..." The storyteller raised his eyebrows, "What liar, what did I lie to?"

Bian Dacheng wanted to refute the other party loudly, that was not a magic dragon, but a fairy, but the words were just about to emerge, and the words were twisted together by the mess.The boy's throat kept rising and falling, and finally turned around and ran away.

"Hiss, what's the matter with this kid?" The storyteller was at a loss.

"Don't worry about it, this old man of the Bian family has died of madness, and the younger one is probably about to fall ill." Someone greeted the gentleman to smooth things over, "You can continue to talk about how Jiang Yao killed the Dragon King? "

"Okay! Then we have to start with how Jiang Yao met his Taoist companion. It is said that 300 years ago..."

dragon.immortal.

After all, it was my own wishful thinking to recognize him as a fairy, and the other party didn't even tell him his real name.

Bian Dacheng ran with his head buried, and ran towards the wooden house that didn't exist.The weeds grew again, and the ancient trees were still luxuriant. He lay exhausted on the ground, staring at the clear sky between the branches and leaves, and unconsciously closed his eyes.When he opened it again, he was awakened by screams from the foot of the mountain.

The color of the sky turned red.It's not the red of the setting sun, but another kind of suffocating red.

He stood up and rushed out of the forest, and saw the people in Xingling City running around in panic like ants. From such a distance, he could still hear all kinds of screams and screams.The dark red clouds in the distance are so thick that they seem to be able to drip down the sky, like tears of blood falling from the sky.The surrounding mountains are filled with black mist, and something can be vaguely seen that is about to move.

"The sky is falling apart?" Shen Yun asked.

"Yes," Bian Dacheng nodded, "The sky is falling apart, and the city is besieged by a hundred ghosts."

Ghosts came from all directions, ghost aura spread everywhere, and there was no safe place in the city anymore. At this moment, people finally thought of the ghost forest above their heads, and rushed to escape to the place where Bian Dacheng was.

"Soon the forest was full of people, but there were still many people who had no place to hide. I saw that the monsters had broken through the city. They had all kinds of shapes. They would bite people and animals. After they were killed, they would start Eat." Bian Dacheng's eyes gradually became blurred, and his speech became more and more rapid, "They eat everything, arms, legs, heads, intestines, hearts, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, Li Aunt, master, brother..."

"Bian Dacheng!" Shen Yun's eyes froze, and he shouted sharply.

This sound was like a blow to the head, making Bian Dacheng tremble all over, his empty pupils suddenly became clear, and he looked at Shen Yun in astonishment: "I just..."

"It's okay, I've read in books that many people who have experienced the catastrophe will involuntarily fall into nightmares when they mention this old incident, and even some monks will do the same. It's not bad for you." Shen Yun waved his hand, slowing down Voice, "Don't think about it, just skip to the result. ——He came to save Xingling, right?"

"Correct."

Gan Yan couldn't take care of himself, and didn't send monks to fight against the ghosts at all. Seeing that Xingling was about to turn into a sea of ​​corpses and empty cities like other towns, when the people were panicking, it was the gods who came.

Wearing the mask he gave him, the immortal came against the wind and wiped out all the ghosts in the city with ease.The people in Xingling cheered thunderously, and thanked him again and again, saying that they would build a birthday shrine for him and worship him every day.

But the god said: "You don't need to offer it to me, I just borrowed the power of this sacred tree and repaid Xingling."

"Sacred tree?" Everyone looked at the huge ghost tree behind them and looked at each other in blank dismay—that's right, since benefactor said it was a sacred tree, it was a sacred tree!

Someone shouted: "Grand En, please let me know your name anyway, so that future generations will remember your great kindness in protecting the city and saving lives!"

Bian Dacheng raised his head suddenly after hearing these words.He couldn't help but feel a little expectation, looking forward to hearing the other party's real name.

His immortal stood in the sky, looked down at the crowd, and saw him among the crowd.I don't know if it was Bian Dacheng's illusion, but the corners of the mouth of the mask he carved with his own hands seemed to be raised half a point.

He heard the voice behind the mask say to the grateful people: "I am... the Great Immortal White Deer."

"After saving the people of the next city, he found me and told me the phrase 'after the flowers fall, don't pray'.——that was the last time I saw him." Bian Dacheng said, "Until the day before the meeting this year, A few teenagers suddenly came to me in the middle of the night, saying that they had been entrusted by the Great Immortal Bailu to come over and ask Xingling to stop the society."

"So you made masks for them?"

"Correct."

The other party's words were extremely calm, but Shen Yun could hear endless sadness from it, and he couldn't help asking: "Then do you still want to see him again?"

Bian Dacheng shook his head: "I don't want to. I heard that Mr. Shu said that mortals and gods usually don't meet. If they meet, it is the fate of mortals."

He pointed to a shallow puddle not far from the alleyway, "But Xianyuan is just like this water, if it dries up, it will disappear."

"You take fate very seriously." Shen Yun said.

"What can I do if I don't look away? As for the magic dragon or the gods, as the little fairy said, I just want to choose one to believe." Bian Dacheng smiled, and the look on his face gradually faded Then, he turned back to the decadent middle-aged man Shen Yun had first met.The elegiac couplet beside the man was blown by the evening wind, rustling, "After all, you see, not only the fate of immortality is like water, but other fates are also the same."

Shen Yun didn't know what to say, so he could only salute him: "The fate is shallow and the thoughts are deep, no matter what, your child must have been led to the sky by the precious lantern."

"I hope so." The man raised his hand and hung the white deer mask at the door, then walked into the yard and closed the door.

After asking Bian Dacheng about this incident, the ins and outs of Sheri were clarified, but the doubts in Shen Yun's heart did not decrease much.

"So this is just a story about a certain Dragon King who was bored and came to Xingling to do good deeds more than 20 years ago, but later the people did stupid things because of superstition, and he sent people to clean up the mess?" Shen Yun muttered and concluded. , "Why do I feel that something is almost there?"

Lu Miyuan said: "Because Master Bian didn't talk about the core?"

"Core, core..." Shen Yun chanted the word, and suddenly remembered, "By the way, you suddenly asked Master Bian about the core of the earth, what happened?"

"Because after I blew up the ancient tree just now, I found a hole right under the tree."

"Empty?" Shen Yun was surprised, "Why didn't you tell everyone just now?"

"At the time, I thought it was the pit caused by the collapse of the detonating talisman, so I didn't think much about it," Lu Miyuan said softly, "Now it seems that what is missing may be the so-called core of the earth in their mouths?"

"It's possible." Shen Yun said, "What is that void like?"

"Well," Lu Miyuan thought about how to describe it, "the hole is not big, about half an arm in diameter, because it's so abrupt, that's why I noticed it, as if... there was something embedded there originally, But it was dug up."

Shen Yun thought about it, and quickly put the whole incident aside in his mind, "Master Bian's narration is based on his own experience. He talked about too many trivial things. It is very touching, but it is very important to find out the truth behind it It's useless. We have to change our thinking and start from the dragon's point of view."

"For example, Dragon King Hagilu came here for this 'earth core' from the very beginning." Lu Miyuan said straight.

"Oh, Mi Yuan is awesome, I got to the point right away." Shen Yun smiled and praised him, "Judging from the conversation between the Dragon King and Shen Dancheng, the core of Xingling may not have grown well back then, or , is immature. Therefore, the Dragon King set up a large formation not to protect the people of Xingling, but to protect the core of the earth."

Lu Miyuan recalled the ripe aura he felt when he approached the sacred tree for the first time—now that he recalled it carefully, he could find that it was not ripe, but left after the "fruit" was picked Rotten breath.

"Now that the earth's core has disappeared, it must have been dug away." Lu Miyuan said, "Could it be the magic dragon?"

"It's not like." Shen Yun shook his head, "Those three magic dragons must be aiming at the core of the earth this time. But judging from their performance, they should not have achieved the target. Who else could it be..."

Who else could it be.Everything that he saw and heard after coming to Xingling quickly flashed through Shen Yun's mind.Ancient trees, earthquakes, destroyed formations, apricot blossoms that withered overnight...

"—Gan Yan!" Shen Yun blurted out, "After the earthquake last year, Gan Yan performed a three-day requiem ceremony for the dead in the Shuniang Temple, and even their head teachers came! At that time, they did not It's not doing a ritual, but going deep into the sacred tree and taking away the earth's core!"
