fishing dragon

Time flies by in the mountains, and in the blink of an eye, Xiaolong has already stayed in Biluo Mountain for half a month.Yu Xia found that his recovery ability was very strong. After more than ten days, the wound was almost healed, only the scales were not fully grown.

"so boring……"

Yu Xia was paralyzed by the stream, her feet still soaked in the water, kicking the water.

Ao Yan was basking in the water, and opened his eyes when he heard this, thinking that he was really bored.If it wasn't for recuperating, he would never have been able to stay in such a mountain for such a long time.

"Is it June now?" Yu Xia looked up to the sky, counting on her fingers, "June... Ah, Jianxia Guo in the mountains is about to bear fruit!"

He suddenly got up and said excitedly: "Let's go pick fruit!"

Jianxia fruit is a kind of spiritual fruit.It bears fruit at the beginning of summer, and it is dark red when it is green. As it matures, the color becomes more and more transparent. When it is fully ripe, it looks like a transparent red crystal, very beautiful.

The unripe Jianxia fruit is sometimes picked by Huaipu in the past to make wine. The wine produced is light red and very beautiful.

After Yu Xiaxu finished talking, Xiaolong looked at him speechlessly, and Yu Xia said: "I can't drink alcohol...but its smell has the effect of calming the nerves, and can wish people a good sleep."

Xiaolong's eyes narrowed even more, as if to say, haven't you slept enough?

"Okay." Yu Xia finally admitted, "I'm just bored. In the past, the ancestors didn't allow me to pick, saying that they wanted to eliminate all possibilities of children getting drunk...Will you accompany me?"

Xiaolong jumped out of the water, climbed onto him, and raised his chin.

Strange to say, when Yu Xia caught the little dragon for the first time, it was obviously heavy, but when he landed on her body, he could barely feel the weight.

"Let's go now!" Seeing that he agreed, Yu Xia couldn't sit still for a moment, put on her shoes and ran outside.

See Xia Guo growing on another hill.

Yu Xia only came secretly once with her master, and that time she was caught and not allowed to come again.Therefore, he didn't have a deep impression, and only vaguely remembered the general location.

"Well... I remember it was—" Yu Xia walked on the mountain road with little short legs, looking while walking, "Why can't I see... Wow!!"

One of his feet stepped on the air, and the whole person fell down.The thick pile of leaves was billowing with smoke and dust, and Yu Xia fell down unexpectedly.

"Roar!" Xiaolong yelled, grabbing Yu Xia's collar in one bite.The latter held on to the stone dangerously before stopping the slide.

Yu Xia raised her head against a leaf and discovered the mystery.The place where the step is empty is not a road at all, but a break.This kind of situation often happens in the deep mountains and old forests where there is no one, and he is too careless.

Further down there is a deep pool of water.The water pool is below the fault, and the root system of the trees is entwined on the fault section. The tree crowns obliquely block the water pool. If you are not careful, you will not notice the water pool.

If someone was as reckless as he was, he might have fallen all the way into the pool.

"...I almost fell into it." Yu Xia was still terrified, her chest still beating wildly.His physical strength couldn't hold him up any further, so it was better to go up from the other side, where it was gentler.

Yu Xia carefully climbed down the rock, walked to the pool and took a look in.

The bottom of the pool cannot be seen at a glance, it is dark, and there is no odor, so it should be running water.Yu Xia stared at it for a while, feeling an inexplicable chill.

Xiaolong tugged at his sleeve and stared at him, telling him to go away.Yu Xia stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, I got it."

He was looking up to see where he could climb up, when he suddenly heard a voice: "Who is harassing me?"

"Wow!" The voice appeared so abruptly that Yu Xia yelled and almost fell.

Turning his head to look, he saw an earth binding spirit appearing above the pool at some point, looking at him with his hands behind his back.

The reason why it is said to be an earth-bound spirit rather than a person is that he is translucent and hovers above the water pool.

He has the appearance of a middle-aged man, wearing a wide-sleeved green robe, thin and a bit downcast.He was not ugly, even somewhat handsome, but the corners of his eyes and brows were drooping, showing a kind of depression and frustration, and there were two unlucky mustaches at the corners of his mouth.

"It's you who disturbed my waking dream?" Earth Binding seemed to have just been woken up by them, angrily, and his short beard was so angry that it stood up.

Yu Xia said: "Sorry!... We accidentally came here, I didn't know you were sleeping here."

"Accidentally?" Earth Binding frowned, drifted closer and looked at Yu Xia and Xiaolong carefully, "How is it such a small milk doll? Are you ten years old this year? What is this on your shoulder? Four-legged snake ?”

Yu Xia quickly grabbed the little dragon who was full of anger and wanted to bite the finger of Earth Binding, and said, "This is my... uh, friend. It's a monster. I am seven years old, and my name is Yu Xia. May I ask who you are? "

When asked about his identity, the earth binding spirit puffed out his chest, brushed his beard and said, "I am a poet."

"What is a poet?" Yu Xia asked curiously.

The poet choked, and said, "It's the person who wrote the poem... Have you ever read the poem? That's what the poet wrote."

Yu Xia didn't understand, and nodded, "So it's like this... Hey! I remembered. The squirrel seems to have told me about you, saying that there is a strange earth-bound spirit in the far mountain, and it always says that others don't understand it. if."

The poet's face darkened, and he said, "What does Zhu Zi know?"

"Don't ask what Shuzi is!" Seeing Yu Xia's innocent face, the poet immediately cut off his question.He floated to the canopy of the tree, and said angrily, "I'm going to continue to sleep."

No wonder I didn't see him just now, it turned out that the poet was hiding in the tree canopy.Yu Xia said: "Excuse me, can you stay up for now? Can you tell us where Jian Xia Guo is? I remember it should be near here, but I can't find it."

Although the ground-bound spirit is bound to one place, the scope of this "one place" is actually very large.Basically, the whole mountain can be visited everywhere.

The poet leaned on the branch, and squinted down when he heard the words: "What do you want to see Xiaguo for? Even insects and ants don't want to bite that fruit."

"Wine making." Yu Xia said seriously, "The wine it brews is delicious."

"You little doll, do you still know how to drink?" The poet smiled, "Your family members said it. Your family members are too unreliable to let such a small doll like you pick fruit."

Yu Xia said embarrassingly: "I made the decision myself, the master didn't ask me to come."

The poet became interested, sat up straight and said, "Interesting. Where does your family live? On another mountain?"

"That's right..." Seeing Xiaolong's eyes, Yu Xia didn't utter all the words, but asked again, "Then would you like to tell me where Xia Guo is?"

The poet rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. But you have to do me a favor."

He pointed to the water pool, "My body is at the bottom, holding a hairpin in my hand. Go down and help me bring that hairpin up, and I'll tell you where Xia Guo is."

Yu Xia has seen Chai in the storybook, and knows that it is a hair ornament on a woman's head.He was a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to breathe underwater, how can I get it for you?"

"I have been here for a hundred years, and I have achieved some success in cultivation. I can help you breathe a sigh of relief and keep you safe." The poet obviously thought about it a long time ago, and just waited for an opportunity, "As for the loach , it shouldn’t need me to pass my breath, right?”

Xiaolong roared, Yu Xia patted his head soothingly, and said, "Yes. But can I ask you a question?"

The poet said: "What?"

"Why are you here? Does it have anything to do with that hairpin?" Yu Xia said, "I heard that the earth binding spirits are trapped in one place because they have something they can't figure out. What is it that you can't figure out?"

The Earth Binding Spirit was born out of obsession, and in the mouth of a child, obsession becomes just "a thing that cannot be figured out".The poet was silent for a moment, and said: "There is a sentence I didn't say at the time. But when I wanted to say it, it was too late."

Yu Xia chased after him: "What are you talking about? Why is it too late?"

"Why do you talk so much, kid?" The poet smacked his lips, impatiently, "Go, go, get the hairpin for me quickly, and I'll tell you where Xia Guo is after I get it."

He muttered: "If I can't touch the real thing, how can I ask a child to help me get it?..."

To be precise, the earth-bound spirits are not all souls, but some remnant souls do not want to enter reincarnation because of their obsession.Therefore, they cannot touch things in the world like complete ghosts.

Even if Yu Xia and the others took back the hairpin, the poet would not be able to touch the hairpin, so he could only look at it.

Yu Xia said: "You talk a lot too."

"Shut up!" The poet glared at him, and began to recite the mantra, and a spiritual light attached to Yu Xia's body, and he urged, "With this spiritual light, you can stay underwater for a stick of incense. Remember, There is only one stick of incense time."

"Xiaolong, let's go down." Yu Xia was eager to try, Xiaolong looked very reluctant, but followed him into the water.

One person and one dragon jumped into the water, and the ripples gradually disappeared.

The bottom of the pool is indeed extremely deep, and a circle of light on the surface of the water cannot illuminate the deep bottom.The spiritual light given by the poet had a weak lighting effect, a small halo in Yu Xia's hand, the light could only reach a square inch.

Xiaolong was beside him, keeping an eye on the surrounding environment for him.But there seemed to be no living things in the pool, not even a single fish, Yu Xia went all the way down, only seeing floating algae.

Got it!

Something under the water suddenly reflected light, and Yu Xia quickly swam closer, holding the halo in her hand and stretching forward, a skeleton appeared in front of him immediately.

Xiaolong immediately stood in front of Yu Xia, but Yu Xia shook her head and gestured to show that she was not afraid.

Ao Yan was a little surprised, he could clearly see Yu Xia's expression, and there was really no fear on her face.

Most of people's fear comes from the indoctrination of people around them, and only a very small part comes from instinct.And Yu Xia didn't grow up in a normal environment.After thinking about it, Ao Yan understood, and moved away.

Yu Xia didn't know what Xiaolong was thinking, and contrary to his imagination, he was not only not afraid, but also a little sad.

Only a clean snow-white skeleton remains of the skeleton, and the clothes are torn and the color cannot be discerned.He has been quietly in the dark water for a hundred years, some souls have entered reincarnation, but some souls are still in the world and do not want to leave.

In the skeleton's hand, there is a gold hairpin, the gemstones inlaid on it have been covered with green algae, only the golden body of the hairpin can reflect light slightly.The snow-white palm tightly circled the hairpin, and he never let go until his death.

The scriptures say that people outside pay great attention to being buried in the soil for safety, and whether they can enjoy the sacrifices of descendants after death.But the poet didn't ask Yu Xia to bring his body up for a proper burial, as long as he wanted this hairpin.

Yu Xia swam to the skeleton's hand and held the golden hairpin.

However, at this moment, the golden hairpin emitted a strong light, and Yu Xia was startled. The golden hairpin seemed to have a suction force that stirred up the pool water, forming a huge vortex.The whole underwater world was stirred up, and his eyes went black——
