Chapter 7 chance encounter

The strange thing is that Fang Fei didn't feel suffocated when water got into his mouth and nose.Little Narcissus surrounds the young man, playing the zither and drums, and his clothes fluttering. Although his life is short, Fang Fei's heart is happy and satisfied. Wow, a thin and powerful paw reached into the water, grabbed Fang Fei's shoulder, pulled him hard, and lifted him out of the water. Fang Fei wanted to struggle, but he was so weak, he felt his body fell on the bank, pressed his chest and abdomen with one hand, and then pushed hard, the water in his stomach gushed out.

After spitting out a large puddle of water, he finally regained his senses and was able to stay focused. Ah Han's furious face met his eyes. The piano sounded again, full of anger.Fang Fei got up and looked, and the narcissus gathered together again, staring at Ah Han one by one, and their appearance became hideous and ugly. "Go away!" Xiao Shan jumped forward, raising his sword to disturb the lake water.The narcissus fled in shock, losing their human form one after another, turning into a group of white jellyfish. The so-called zithers and zithers are just the tentacles below them.

"What?" Fang Fei exclaimed. "Qin Water Demon!" Ah Han glared at Fang Fei, "Why don't you listen to the white antelope? If I come a step later, they will suck your blood and turn you into a rock at the bottom of the pond!" Fang Fei turned Looking over his head, the white antelope was resting in the distance, with a docile demeanor. He felt ashamed and sighed silently. "This is the Rosemary Forest." Ah Han clenched the hilt of his sword, looking left and right, "There are no claws or teeth here, but if you are careless, you will be destroyed. Hmph, look, those are the fate of the careless! "

The hills all point to the middle of the pool—the bottom of the pool is full of bones, the huge skeleton opens its mouth, and its eyes are empty, full of joy and satisfaction.The jellyfish was floating among the bones of the mountain dross, leisurely, without any murderous intent, but the strange thing is that Fang Fei was confused by the sound of the piano just now, and only saw the illusion of the water demon, not paying attention to the dead bones at all. A gust of wind blew, and Fang Fei trembled all over. He couldn't help but ask, "Ahan, are there any dead branches here?"

"do what?" "I want to start a fire." "Fire?" Xiao Shan frowned, "That's the anger of the gods, and it will destroy the entire forest!" "Then how to dry clothes..." Fang Fei trembled even more. Ah Han glanced at him and said impatiently, "Follow me!" He jumped on the bird's back, clapped his hands twice, and the Chiming bird threw off its long legs and ran like an ostrich. Fang Fei also stepped onto the antelope. He was very grateful for the spirit beast and gently stroked the pair of silver horns.The antelope felt his kindness, jumped up and down, and soon kept pace with the red bird.

"Ahan! Where did you go this morning?" "Go to the sun!" "Sunday?" "We worship the rising sun every day. Without the sun, there would be no forest, let alone the courage, enthusiasm and strength of Santo." Fang Fei recalled what he saw and heard yesterday morning, and he understood a little bit.At this time, the sound of the piano came from behind, and the notes were flying and deft, like feathers brushing against my heart.The young man felt itchy, wishing he could turn around and go back immediately, but the white antelope insisted on moving forward, gradually drifting away, the sound of the piano finally turned into a sigh, and dissipated in the mist.

Fang Fei was sweating profusely, his heart was beating wildly, suddenly he heard a whistling, and the wind swept across the sky like a strong wind, but he only heard the sound of the wind and didn't feel the wind coming.He turned around and saw that Xiao Shandu was also looking there, his expression was strange, besides excitement, there was also a touch of fear. Ah Han is very courageous, the thing that frightened him must be something big——Fang Fei was pondering, Ah Han turned his gaze away, and walked up a narrow path, not far away, when a gust of warm air rushed over, making his body go limp.

"Put the clothes over there!" Ah Han pointed to a bush in the distance.The bush is more than one meter high, and the whole body is fiery red. The smoky warmth comes from the bush. As he approached the tree, the heating naturally increased. Fang Fei put his wet clothes on the tree and asked curiously, "What kind of tree is this?" "Phoenix head wood!" Ah Han was a little absent-minded, "It was transformed from the spirit of the ancient phoenix!" "Phoenix spirit?" Fang Fei was skeptical, but looking at the shrubs, he found it interesting, and thought that when the severe winter came, planting a tree in the house would save a lot of heat.

"Is there a tree that cools people down in summer?" Fang Fei was half joking, but Ah Han answered without thinking, "Yes, 'Yellow Grass' is at the other end of the forest! It can bring in a cool breeze.” Fang Fei was very surprised. He leaned close to Shenmu and wanted to dry his hair, but he stretched out his hand to twirl it, and suddenly felt something strange—short hair had grown several inches in two days, and the sideburns actually hung over the helix. Phew, it was still the sound of the wind, Fang Fei stood up.Ah Han also pulled the reins and jumped into the sky. The Chiming Bird flew over the forest tops and circled back and forth continuously.

The sound of the wind was full of murderous intent, and Ah Han seemed to be facing a formidable enemy again.Fang Fei was flustered, and unconsciously approached Fengshoumu, and the heat penetrated through his body, dispelling some anxiety. The Chiming bird fell from the sky, Ah Han jumped off the bird's back, and buried his head in thought, frowning for a while, and looking passionate for a while, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Are the clothes ready?" "Okay!" Feng Shoumu was so hot that his clothes were completely dry. "I've decided!" Ah Han clenched his fist and said, "I'm going to do something big today!"

"What's the big deal?" Ah Han didn't answer, and jumped onto the bird's back. Fang Fei hurriedly put on his underwear and rode a deer to catch up. The further you go, the louder the wind, and soon you pass through a forest and come to the top of a deep valley.Fang Fei looked down, and the valley was shaped like a funnel, with thick white mist billowing up.Suddenly, there was a whistling sound from the bottom of the valley, it was the sound of the wind. "See you at the bottom of the valley!" Xiao Shandu lifted the reins, and Chiming rushed down like an arrow. Fang Feizheng was surprised, the white antelope spread its hooves, stepped up a slope, and ran to the bottom of the valley. Around the valley, there is a stone path spiraling downwards. The old white antelope knew the way and reached the mountainside in a blink of an eye.Suddenly there was a sharp cry, and Ah Han drove the big bird out of the thick fog.Fang Fei was taken aback, and saw that Xiao Shan was in a panic, two of the red bird's long tail feathers were broken, and the breaks were very smooth, as if cut off by some kind of sharp blade. Ah Han cautiously flew close to the valley wall.The wind kept coming, and Fang Fei was afraid and surprised. After a while, the antelope trotted and finally reached the bottom of the valley. The boy jumped off the back of the deer and was about to take a step when he suddenly heard Ah Han yelling "don't move".Fang Fei stopped in response, and was very surprised. Could it be that he could be seen even from the hills in the depths of the dense fog? There was a gust of wind above the head, and the red bird fell to the ground.Ah Han jumped down, pulled out a piece of hair, pinched it between his fingers, clasped his hands together, and murmured vaguely. Bang, a ball of silver fire jumped out, the fog dissipated in the light, and the scene at the bottom of the valley gradually became clear.Fang Fei said "ah", and was surprised to see a giant tree slowly revealing itself from the branches to the trunk. This was the first time Fang Fei had seen such a tall tree.The tree was at least 400 meters high. The trunk was straight and straight, and the whole body was covered with bright silver leaves. The leaves were like swords, and they trembled. Fang Fei suddenly felt chills all over his body, and an astonishing murderous aura surged from the direction of the silver tree. "Excalibur!" Ah Han looked at the tree with eager eyes, "I finally see you!" He took a step forward, and the leaves of the tree seemed to be pulled, buzzing and trembling. The hills stand still.Fang Fei looked down, and there was a golden arc in front of Ah Han's feet. Looking carefully, the arc was not a single curve, but many strange characters.The strokes of the characters are as thin as gold threads, forming a huge circle around the giant tree. The scope of the golden circle is so large that it almost covers the bottom of the valley.There is still a little vegetation outside the circle, but inside the circle, there is no grass at all. "This is the Wandering Soul Circle!" Ah Han pointed to the golden circle, "Beyond the circle is life, and inside the circle is death, as distinct as day and night!" "Ah Han!" Fang Fei couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here?" "Pick the sword!" Ah Han patted the silver sword on his waist.Fang Fei looked at the silver sword, then at the silver tree, and suddenly blurted out: "Hey, isn't this the leaf of that tree?" "This sword was picked by Avelan, and it has been handed down for more than a hundred years!" Shan Du's fingertips caressed the blade, where the brown spot had spread to the edge of the sword, and it was still regarded as a part of the sword before. Rust, now I understand that this is the trace of withered leaves. "Jin Hou can pick up the sword!" Ah Han stared at the tree with a high air, "To be Jin Hou, this is a necessary test." "You want to be Jinhou too?" Fang Fei was slightly surprised. "Every mountain wants to become a golden roar, but after Avellan, there has been no golden roar for three hundred years. There cannot be no golden roar in the forest, and the talisman of the boundary marker tree must be maintained by the golden roar. Once the divine power disappears, the forest's The door will be wide open." "Isn't there still Avellan?" Fang Fei frowned. "He is old!" Sadness appeared in Ah Han's eyes, "He has seen 90,000 sunsets, his heart is like a dry spring, and his legs often tremble like dead branches on a white tree. Can't bear overripe fruit." Fang Fei felt sad when he recalled Avellan's old and strenuous appearance. He said, "It's not difficult to pick a leaf from a tree, is it?" Xiao Shan sneered, and said loudly: "Don't underestimate this tree! Its age is comparable to that of the Human Head Tree, and it is older than many creatures. Zhi Lixie imitated its leaves and created the first flying tree. Sword. From Beiming to Nanming, from the mountain where the sun rises to the sea where the moon sets, everyone knows the reputation of the sword palm!" Fang Fei listened silently, looking at the giant tree, feeling uneasy.At this moment, there was a chirp, and he looked up, and a white falcon flew across the sky.Screaming and piercing, countless sword leaves shot out through the air at such a fast speed that they seemed to flow like streams of light. The white falcon didn't even make a sound of mourning. When the air turned into a cloud of blood mist, the sword leaves were like blood-sucking locusts. In clusters, there was not a trace of blood mist left, it was all sucked away by the leaves. The sword leaves flew away, and countless holes were exposed on the trunk, just like the snouts of animals opening and closing. When the birds died, the tree body shook violently, and the sword leaves flew back one after another, with the petioles facing down, and inserted into the holes. Fang Fei was out of breath, wishing he could hide in the stone wall behind him. "What are you afraid of?" Ah Han glanced at him with disdain on his face, "Coward, if you don't enter the circle of wandering souls, Excalibur will have nothing to do with you!" "This circle..." Fang Fei stared at the golden circle, unsure, "Who left it?" "Fragmented evil!" Ah Han looked up at the sky, "In ancient times, Excalibur was even more powerful than it is now. It grew on high mountains and ruled a large forest. Countless creatures looked up to it. Life is as fragile as morning dew. Until Zhi Lixie was born, he split the ground into a valley, drove the Excalibur Palm into the bottom of the valley, and left this talisman circle, sealing the power of the Shenmu." "Who is Zhilixie?" Fang Fei couldn't help asking after hearing this name again and again. "Who is Zhilixie?" Ah Han let out a sharp smile, "This is really a good question, why don't you ask who is the sun and who is the moon?" Fang Fei was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Ah Han, Excalibur is so powerful, can you really pick its leaves?" "Don't underestimate people!" Ah Han became furious, and pushed Fang Fei away, "Stay aside and see how Jin Hou works in the future!" Shan Du unloaded the burden, and the silver sword was pinned to his waist. He pulled out a lock of green hair, twisted it between his fingers and muttered. There was a flash of light, and stars and silver fire burst out from the tips of the hair.The silver fire splashed to the ground, as if the seeds were buried in the soil, and in the blink of an eye, six mercury bubbles popped out.The silver bubbles swelled and twisted, grew bigger and bigger, suddenly cracked a few times, and turned into six silver phantoms.The phantom's eyebrows fluttered, except for the color, it was exactly the same as Ah Han. The spell was so wonderful that Fang Fei couldn't take his eyes off it——Ah Han got up, and Phantom also got up, Xiaoshan drew his sword, and Phantom also drew his sword. "Drink!" Ah Han jumped across the talisman circle. The screaming sounded again, and the sword leaves came out of the nest like a swarm of bees, and shot straight at Shandu.Ah Han raised his hand and rolled up the blossoming sword flowers. The six phantoms are his avatars, following him with the sword, the seven swords dance together, like a flock of white geese flying high. Ding Ding Ding made a series of urgent sounds, and when the sword leaf encountered an attack, it immediately dodged, circumvented the sword curtain under the mountain capital, and stabbed at his sides.The two phantoms circled to the left and right, raising their swords to resist. With a whistle, the sword leaves divided into six groups, harassing up and down, front and back, left and right. Ah Han conjured up six avatars, and each of them happened to be on one side at this time. Even so, he was still stretched and couldn't resist the flying sword that was pouring wind and rain. Xiao Shan had heard Avelan say that to pick a sword from the Excalibur Palm can only be taken out of his wits, and he needs to use a clone to protect his body, and then try to approach the tree trunk to close a hole in the way, and then exit the Wandering Soul Circle.At that time, when thousands of swords return to the orifices of the Excalibur Palm, there must be a sword leaf that has no home to return to. Wait until it is tired from flying, and then pick it up. This matter sounds not difficult, so Ah Han is full of confidence. First, he comes to try his skills so that he can win the Golden Roar in the future; second, he wants to show off his prestige in front of Fang Fei.Whoever wants to say it is easy, but actually put it into practice will feel extremely dangerous. Pa, a clone was smashed by the sword rain, a silver light flashed in the mist, and the clone disappeared into nothingness. Lost a clone, Ah Han had to make up for it himself.After a while, there was another crackling sound, and the two clones disappeared.There were more openings this time, the sword leaves swarmed up, Xiao Shan's eyes were bloodshot, the silver sword danced wildly, and a series of mournful roars came out of his mouth. Fang Fei was watching, anxious in vain, when he heard a cry of pain, Xiao Shandu received a sword strike on his right arm, so he had to hand over the sword to his left.With this slowness, the sword rain penetrated straight in, and the two avatars came to protect the lord, but there were two echoes in the end. There is only one clone left!There was a burst of despair in Xiao Shandu's heart. Fang Fei looked around, trying to find a long branch to draw him out.But the bottom of the valley is bare, where are the branches?The ground is scattered, full of Shandu's luggage. With an idea, Fang Fei leaned over and unwrapped the package, and found a small pouch made of flower petals.Xiaoxiang is very light, but the inside is very hard. He stretched out his hand and touched a piece of dark blue amber. Kong Sangshi!Pa, the sixth clone also disappeared. "Oops!" Fang Fei raised the spirit stone, and spewed out the blue brilliance. Where the brilliance hit, a miracle happened suddenly—the sword leaves stopped flying, and they all floated in the air. Ah Han was hit by several swords and fell to the ground. At this time, he took the opportunity to roll backwards, but the injury was too serious, and he only rolled five or six meters before he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up again. Fang Fei put his heart on the line and strode across the golden circle.In an instant, the empty mulberry stone became heavy, it was as light as a feather outside the circle, but when it entered the circle of wandering souls, it was more than a hundred times heavier. The empty mulberry stone was getting heavier and heavier, and a small piece of amber actually weighed more than a hundred catties—Fang Fei's arms were sore, and his legs seemed to be filled with black vinegar. Kongsang stone is the tears of the human head tree, which can affect the good roots of creatures in the forest.Excalibur, however, is favored by hostility, vicious and vicious, which is rare in the world.The two sacred trees restrained each other. Excalibur couldn't kill Fang Fei, and Fang Fei couldn't completely subdue him.The closer he was to the tree trunk, the stronger the power of Excalibur. Kong Sangshi was oppressed, and the weight continued to increase. As long as Fang Fei was overwhelmed and lost the amber, Kongsangshi lost its power, and Excalibur could do whatever it wanted. Fang Fei also understood this truth, so he held on to the amber tightly. Every time he took a step, the amber weighed ten catties. hell. Fang Fei simply lay down on the ground, holding the amber in front of his chest, grabbed Ah Han with his right hand, and moved back inch by inch. The place where Ah Han fell was no more than a hundred meters away from the circle of wandering souls, but to the people in the circle, this short journey was like the difference between life and death. At this point, the contest has nothing to do with divine power, but will and courage.Excalibur would not allow the prey to escape, and Fang Fei would not leave Ah Han alone.Kong Sangshi's divine light was oppressed, and the tip of the sword was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the young man's breathing, and there were terrifying tremors. Fang Fei was sweating profusely, every step he took took all the strength in his body.He almost wants to give up, but every time he ignites hope-Kong Sangshi shares his heart, the more urgent he is to save people, the stronger the power of the spirit stone, even though the sword array can't stop urging him, as long as Fang Fei's fighting spirit is together, Hu Po immediately sprayed out divine light, and slowly pushed away the sword leaf that was close to her. Time passed by, unbearably slow, and a few sword leaves stabbed towards him, suddenly approaching his eyes. This blow almost crushed Fang Fei, if he moved forward, his eyes would be pierced, and if he retreated, his sword would inevitably penetrate his heart.This kind of dilemma can only be compared with Infernal Path. Thinking of the Infernal Path, Yan Mei's smiling face flashed past, Fang Fei didn't know where the strength came from, and struggled forward against the imminent sword tip. Hum, the sword leaves all over the sky vibrated, and retreated like a silver wave.Excalibur seemed to have been shot, and the holes in the trunk let out a long cry of mourning.During the howl, a stream of fire rushed away from the silver wave, and sank into the stone wall in front of him. Looking back, Fang Fei saw that the sword leaves were returning to his body, and the sword palm also calmed down. He lowered his head and looked again, the golden light shone under his feet, and he had escaped from the circle of wandering souls inadvertently. Fang Fei fell to the ground in pain, panting heavily, his body was sore and sore, as if he had been severely beaten.After resting for a while, he got up to check on Ah Han. Xiao Shan was unconscious, holding the silver sword tightly in his hand. The wound had stopped bleeding and was healing at an astonishing speed. "Duh!" Ah Han jumped up, raised his silver sword, and stabbed wildly at the void. "It's me, it's me..." Fang Fei stepped aside, embarrassed. When Ah Han heard the cry, he realized that he was out of danger. He shook it twice, looked at the silver sword, and then stared at the sword palm, his expression was sometimes bewildered and sometimes surprised. After being dazed for a while, Xiao Shan yelled, "How did I get out?" Fang Fei smiled wryly, Ah Han's blue eyes lit up, and he turned his face twice with a look of fuss, "What, you saved me? ? Impossible! How did you do it?" Fang Fei raised the empty mulberry stone: "I can't do it, can it do it?" "Did you use the empty mulberry stone?" Ah Han was taken aback, looking back at Excalibur, unwilling and annoyed, he clenched his fists and waved it at the giant tree, vowing to come back next time if he succeeds in plucking the sword. Shame on this smelly tree. Suddenly Fang Fei gasped and said in surprise: "Ah Han, look at this!" He turned his head and saw that Fang Fei was staring at a stone wall in a daze. Like naturally occurring. Ah Han wanted to pull out the box, but his fingers touched the surface of the box, as if he had received an electric shock. "Drink!" Xiao Shan's feet landed on the ground, screaming strangely, "What is it? What is it?" "It flew out of the Excalibur Palm!" Fang Fei stretched out his hand to touch it, but before Ah Han could stop it, he had already grabbed the box.Strangely, the boy was unharmed. Holding the end of the box, he pulled the box out of the rock. Ah Han just felt dissatisfied, and wanted to snatch it.Unexpectedly, there was another flash of lightning on the box, and the hill flew out, hit the stone hard, and couldn't help moaning. "Do you want to see it?" Fang Fei handed over the box with good intentions.Shan Du flinched in fright: "Don't come, I don't want to see any broken boxes!" He said firmly, but he was very puzzled in his heart, why Fang Fei couldn't even touch it because he was fine with it. The box is very light, with a golden cover pasted on it, and the cover is written in green characters, so ancient that it is unrecognizable.Fang Feixin touched it, and the cover turned into a wisp of smoke.He was taken aback, and heard creaking noises again, the box popped open by itself, with yellow satin on the bottom, holding a tube of brushes. The writing brush is very long, the barrel is black and gloomy, with bright silver spots interspersed with it, like a cold star in the middle of the night. A yellowed note was pressed under the barrel of the pen, and when it was pulled out, it was also in ancient seal characters.Just as Fang Fei was about to throw it away, the seal characters on the paper came alive, the strokes distorted like earthworms, and turned into a line of square lowercase—— "Don't use force to win, don't use force to win, blow the stars and mess the moon, seven inches and six points; the heavy wood is the tube, and the gold is the front. Give up life and death, and return to the clan." As soon as he finished reading the note, the note burst into flames. Fang Fei opened his mouth to blow angrily. His breath sprayed on the paper, and the entire note turned into fly ash. He froze for a moment, picked up the brush, and the brush strokes shone brightly, dispelling the fog at the bottom of the valley. Ah Han babbled and yelled non-stop, Fang Fei turned his head and looked, Xiao Shan curled up to one side, crying very sadly.Fang Fei asked in confusion: "Ah Han, why are you crying? Is it because of picking up the sword?" "No." Ah Han wiped away tears, and replied, "The tip of this pen is made of the white hair of the first Jin Jinjiu." Fang Fei's heart sank: "Someone murdered the first generation of Jin Hou..." Thinking about it, he felt disgusted, raised the brush, and wanted to throw it away. "Don't!" Ah Han hurriedly shouted, "That's the hair of God Eye A Long!" "Shenyan Ah Long?" Fang Fei eased his hand. Xiao Shandu clasped his hands together, with a hint of admiration on his face: "Shenyan Along is the hero of Shandu. He followed the evil, defeated the terrifying big snake, and subdued countless monsters. His deeds have been sung by Taoists to this day, and his The statue will always stand on the top of Fuyu Mountain." "This pen..." Fang Fei raised the brush, silver stars flashed on the barrel, and it was circulating quietly. "It's called Xingbrush! The barrel of the pen is star sinking wood. This kind of sacred wood is extinct. The tip of the pen comes from A'Long's white hair, which hides the power of immortality." Fang Fei imitated Yanmei and waved the brush twice, but there was no movement.He resentfully put down the talisman pen, Ah Han asked abruptly: "Can you obey the law?" "Spell? What is that?" Xiao Shan shook his head and sighed: "Xingfu picks you up, just like woodpeckers pecking at stones, and grass seeds falling into the fire." "It picks me?" Fang Fei thought of Yinshu, but felt awkward, "There is no such thing! Didn't I say it? It flew out from the Excalibur." "That's right!" Ah Han slapped his head, "The three old men told a story. In ancient times, in order to escape from war, a Taoist entered the forest with Jin Hou's permission to live in seclusion. He was tired of fighting with force and buried his treasures in the forest. Under the Excalibur Palm, he made an oath that if someone entered and exited the circle of wandering spirits without force, he would be able to obtain this treasure. Entering the circle of wandering spirits without using force is like the sun and the moon not shining, and the stars not blinking. Even Avellan Can't do it either!" Fang Fei restrained Excalibur with Kongsang stone, and indeed he did not rely on force. Recalling the danger just now, he felt lingering fear.He doesn't know how to run, it doesn't matter if he has a pen or not, but recalling the words on the note - "Don't use force to win, don't use force to win", it is not far from what Xiao Shandu said. Shandu has a strange physique, he didn't go out of the deep valley, and the sword wound has healed, leaving only a few faint white marks.He wove a belt out of colorful rattan, with two pouches on it, one for holding the Charm Sword and the other for holding the pencil case.Fang Fei was very happy when he got this gift. Stopping and walking, I soon passed through a canyon and saw a mountain range head-on.The mountains stretch for dozens of miles, surrounded by lush forests, full of vitality, but the rocky bones on the mountain are extremely desolate.Flocks of birds flitted across the top of the mountain, wailing, and there was a thick layer of dust on the hillside, with no trace of life visible. "Bah!" Ah Han spat at the mountain. "What kind of mountain is this?" Fang Fei looked at the mountain, feeling uneasy in his heart. "Snake Ridge!" Ah Han said angrily, "This is the body of a terrifying snake. The mountain is full of smoke and smog, and there is not even a single weed." "No! I can't die on this mountain. Look, Jiuhuan Mountain is there, and there is a shortcut in the middle of the mountain." Jiuhuan Mountain is located to the west of Snake Ridge. The nine peaks are all hollow, shaped like nine huge rings, which are interlocked and connected in one go.When the two passed through the ring hole, Ah Han played the piccolo and summoned a group of fire butterflies to show the way. After walking for a day and a night, until the afternoon of the next day, the two people walked out of the mountainside and arrived at a waterfall. The waterfall swoops down from a height of hundreds of feet and pours into a big river. "That's the Linghe River!" Ah Han yelled, pointing at the river, "It starts from Lingshu Mountain, passes through Yujing, and flows eastward into the Ruthless Sea. None of the rivers can compare." Seeing the width of the river and the depth of the water, Fang Fei asked worriedly, "How do we get there?" "If you're happy, you can swim there." The hills moved towards the shore, where an ancient tree grew, lush and green, reaching the sky high.Facing the ancient wood, there is also a big tree on the opposite bank, with sparse branches and leaves, leaning towards the water. Facing the ancient wood, Xiao Shandu pulled out his green hair and rubbed his hands twice, the silver fire splashed and a wisp of smoke rose. Before the smoke dissipated, there was a creaking sound, the ancient tree bowed its head, and its canopy stretched out to the water. The big trees on the opposite bank echoed each other, bending their trunks and bowing their heads to the river. The crown of the tree is getting lower and lower, extending all the way to the center of the river. The branches of two big trees are intertwined, forming a long tree bridge. Ah Han jumped on the bird's back and flew across the river from the sky. Fang Fei crossed the tree bridge to the other bank. "Hello!" Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Ah Han couldn't help but said, "Why don't you ask what kind of tree this is?" Fang Fei sighed and said, "Acacia tree!" "Huh!" Ah Han jumped three feet, "How do you know?" In Qingcheng Mountain, Fang Fei had seen this tree before.At that time, Shuangshu guarded the door and guarded the entrance of Zhendan.The scene of that night was vaguely visible in his mind, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart. Looking back, he saw the twin trees of lovesickness, dancing like shadows.The grass and trees are ruthless, and there are times when they are sympathetic.But what about Yanmei?Will I still see her? —In an instant, many terrible thoughts flashed through Fang Fei's mind. He stared at the sky in a daze, and his chest seemed to be overwhelmed. Blindly thinking about his own thoughts, he didn't pay attention to the ever-changing scenery around him. After walking for a while, he suddenly heard Ah Han's shout of joy: "The Boundary Monument Tree has arrived!" When Fang Fei raised his head, he saw another strange tree, which was half dead and half flourishing, half dead like a stone, and half verdant and verdant.On the dry side, it stands like a huge monument and is filled with ancient inscriptions. The strokes can be done as you like, but the words go deep into the tree, and they have not been wiped out even after thousands of years of wind and rain. Fang Fei looked at the stele, but didn't know a word, so he couldn't help asking: "Ah Han, what is written on the stele?" "Fragmented runes!" Xiao Shan knelt down and kowtowed three times to the boundary marker tree. "What's the use of it?" Fang Fei was full of curiosity. "For protection!" "Guard what?" "Guard something!" Ah Han's voice was soft and thin, as if he was afraid of waking up something. "The Shandu family are all scattered and evil forest watchers. As long as the boundary marker tree is not dead, we have to guard it forever." "What are you guarding?" Fang Fei couldn't help asking again. "Naked bug!" Xiao Shan stood up with a serious expression, "It's time for us to break up!" "Break up?" Fang Fei was taken aback. "This is the border of the forest!" Ah Han looked into the distance, both joyful and frightened, "Going forward, you will be the world of Taoists!" "The world of Taoists!" Fang Fei's heart shrank, and his body trembled. ? "Out of the forest, there is a mountain road!" Ah Han pointed forward, "There are often Taoists passing by there!" "And you?" "I'll go back to Whitehall to report." Ah Han jumped onto the Chiming Bird, waved to Fang Fei, and a gust of wind entered the woods.The white antelope also rubbed against Fang Fei, and reluctantly left. In a blink of an eye, Fang Fei was the only one left. The forest in the distance was endless, and I really didn't know what was hidden. Fortunately, getting used to loneliness, Fang Fei smiled wryly and walked forward.After walking for a while, a mountain road appeared at the end of the forest.But from the perspective of human beings, it is very reluctant to say that it is a road. The road is full of rocks, weeds are overgrown, and the big tree was cut off by lightning, lying in the middle of the road. As soon as Fang Fei looked up, the red sun was facing west. Even if there were people walking on this road, no one would come today. Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of duk duk, as if someone was holding a cane and vigorously beating the ground.The sound became louder and louder, Fang Fei turned his head and saw, black shadows flickered, and a dark monster emerged from the fallen tree. "What?" Fang Fei gasped, took two steps back, and looked at it intently.The monster has a wide and flat body, shaped like a turtle with its head shrunk, with four long legs on the left and right, and looks like a big spider. In the twilight, the monster was hairless and gleamed with black light all over. Suddenly, it heard a crackling sound. Its front legs retracted, its hind legs were propped up, and its whole body leaned forward, revealing a big bumpy face.There were no facial features on that face, but for some reason, Fang Fei felt it was staring at him, his heart beat faster for a moment, and cold sweat oozes from his palms. "My God!" the monster said in a human voice, like a man, "what is that? Ouch, a naked bug!" "My God!" Immediately after the male voice, another female voice sounded, "I read it right, is it really a naked worm?" The monster is hermaphrodite, which is unexpected.Fang Fei didn't have time to think about it, the monster took its long legs and rushed over.Startled, he turned around and ran, tripping over a fallen tree trunk hastily.Before Fang Fei had time to get up, the sky darkened, and the sound of crackling could be heard endlessly. The monster moved with all its legs, and crawled close to him. Fang Fei was almost buried in the soil, when he heard a bang, the ground behind him shook violently. "Oh." The female voice screamed in shock, "I was scared to death, I was scared to death!" "Blind!" The male voice complained, "Where are you driving, you are clearly killing people!" "Shut your mouth!" the female voice screamed, "How can you park if you don't get on flat ground? Do you think I'm Shandu? Can I build a nest in a tree? Hey, this kid really scared me to death, scared to death Me..." After a pause, he suddenly became angry again, "You two little bastards, what are you doing standing up, why don't you hurry up and go see her!" Fang Fei couldn't help but turn around and peek. The monster was curled up on the ground with eight legs. From a distance, it looked like a huge black rock.Crack, the "monolith" split open, and two boys came out. What happened suddenly, Fang Fei shrank back in fright, and saw another person, one big and one small, the eldest was seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick hands and feet, tall and fat, with small and crooked eyes, hanging on the red On the fat face, it looked like a pair of commas slanted. The youngest was only seven or eight years old, well-behaved, elf wise, he was floating in the air, with a dim short flying sword under his feet. Fang Fei suddenly understood that this monster was not that monster, not a weird creature, but a strange means of transportation. "Hello!" Fang Fei got up and greeted.The little boy glanced at him, the big one blushed, hesitated twice, turned around suddenly, and yelled at the door: "Dad, Mom! Come quickly!" "Unpromising guy!" The narrow door opened wide, and a middle-aged man and woman came out.The man has a smile on his face, and the blue robe is loose, sloppy and chic, with a blue ribbon around his waist, and a black hole flute; the woman is plump and has round features, wearing a dirty apron. It looked like it had just come off the stove. The two walked up, the middle-aged man looked at Fang Fei carefully, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I am Xuanwu Jian Huailu!" He pointed to the middle-aged woman beside him, "My wife, Xuanwu Shen Tiantian!" He pointed to the two boys, " My son, the big Xuanwu Jianzhen and the young Xuanwu Jianrong!" "I am... that Fang Fei!" Fang Fei also wanted to add a prefix, but the word "naked worm" was really hard to say. Holding hands together, Jian Huailu looked the young man up and down, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you are a saver, aren't you?" "Hmm!" Jian Huailu stared at him intently, "Where's your instigator?" "She..." Fang Fei whispered, "I lost her..." Speaking of this, his eyes were hot and wet, and tears were about to fall in an instant. "Huh!" Jian Huailu was surprised, and was about to ask carefully, when Shen Tiantian suddenly said, "Aren't you tired of standing and talking? It's getting dark, let's talk in the car!" "Yes! Yes!" Jian Huailu slapped the back of his head, "Get in the car and say it, get in the car and say it!" As he spoke, he pulled Fang Fei towards the strange car. Stepping through the narrow door, Fang Fei's eyes lit up. There was actually a house hidden in the belly of the monster!In the center is a circular living room, surrounded by several fan-shaped rooms. The room is full of sundries, giving off a pungent smell; the furniture is mottled and old, like a group of old dogs with shed hair; the floor is getting more and more wrinkled, like a face that has experienced vicissitudes of life; the only brilliance is the four-sided floor-to-ceiling round mirror, Bright and shining, keep each side.Looking in the mirror, Fang Fei was surprised to find that his hair was thick and long, and it had already hung down his shoulders. The light in the house comes from the roof, where there are eight trapezoids surrounding a perfect circle. "That's the cover of the canopy cart!" Seeing his curiosity, Jian Huailu said with a smile, "Baguatu controls the eight long legs, and Taijitu absorbs the aura of heaven and earth. Heh, without this cover, the canopy cart can't move a single step!" "Cars also use their legs to walk?" Fang Fei felt puzzled. "What do you use if you don't have legs?" Jian Huailu asked rhetorically. "Use wheels! Don't all cars use wheels?" "Wheels!" Shen Tiantian yelled loudly, "My God, wheels!" "Wheels?" Jian Huailu sank into a soft chair, fingers intertwined, with a sneer on his face, "Can wheels be used on this road?" "But..." Before Fang Fei finished speaking, Jian Huailu interrupted him and said, "You are a saver, from the world of mortals. In my opinion, the world of mortals is just a big wheel! You use gears to make machines, and machines to pave mountains and pave roads, so that you Vehicles with wheels pass by; the thick smoke from the vehicles makes the world full of miasma, the heat dries up the sky, the poisonous smoke turns into dead rain, the sea creatures are wiped out, and the mountains become barren land. Look, it's like a white tiger's treasure轮毁灭了烘炉，总有一天，红尘也会毁在轮子上面……” “震旦的轮子也好不到哪儿去！”申田田在一边补充。 “震旦也有轮子？”方非大为惊奇。 “有的！”简怀鲁闭上眼睛，“不论在哪儿，轮子都是灾星！” “我说老酒鬼……”申田田低声说，“天要暗了！今天赶得到留云村吗？” “赶不到了！”简怀鲁打了个呵欠，“天色不对，走夜路不合适！” “那就住下来吧！” 说话间，简真、简容先后进来。大个儿坐在一边，不时偷眼来瞅方非；小孩儿天性好动，乘着黄光小剑，在杂物间钻来钻去，一不留神，撞倒了一个瓶子，瓶口流出银色的黏液，活像是一群鼻涕虫，在地上叽里咕噜地翻来滚去。 “小容！”申田田尖声大叫，“说了多少次，不许在车里飞！你知道这些水银虫有多贵吗？” “哼！”小家伙扁起嘴巴，“养水银虫有什么了不起？我要养一条神龙，骑着它，要多威风有多威风……” “少做梦了！”申田田好容易收回水银虫，“神龙当宠物？亏你想得出来！你这小不点还不够那东西塞牙缝……再说一遍，不许在车里飞！” “我飞了吗？坐在天上也有错吗？”简容吐出小舌头，“我就爱坐在天上，那又怎么样？” “臭小鬼……”申田田恨恨一跺脚，转过身来，冲着方非挤出一副笑脸，“方非，你喝点什么？” 方非心想道者的饮料稀奇古怪，还是不沾知妙，他说：“有白开水吗？” “白开水多没劲呀！”简怀鲁极力鼓动，“来一杯虫露酒暖暖身吧！” “虫露酒？”方非一听名头，就觉不妙。 “没喝过吗？”简怀鲁舔了舔嘴唇，“那可是在甘露虫的肚子里酿的！” “虫肚子里酿的酒？”方非的胃液一阵阵上冲，忽见申田田端来四个酒杯，杯中酒液微白，气味芳洌清新。可一想到这是虫子的体液，方非的胃里又是一阵翻腾。 “先干为敬！”简怀鲁一杯酒下肚，整个人一扫慵懒，活转过来，他呼出了一大口酒气，两只眼睛闪闪发光。 到了这份儿上，方非不能不喝，想来想去，只好举起杯子，狠狠灌了下去。 酒浆滋味奇妙，进入肚里，化为了一股热气。热气笔直上行，方非忽觉嗡的一下，脑子空空荡荡，身子飘浮起来。他低头一看，下面的软椅上坐了一个人，呆头呆脑，正是方非自己——他只一呆，发出一声凄厉无比的惨叫。 “哎！”叫声出口，方非一个机灵，忽又坐回到椅上，幻觉消失了，他张眼望去，满屋人盯着他，爆发出一阵哄笑。 “怎么样？”简怀鲁乐呵呵地问。 “还、还好！”方非面红耳赤。 “再来一杯？” “够了，够了！”灵魂出窍的滋味太过火，方非慌忙推脱，“再喝就醉了！” 简怀鲁笑了笑，自顾自又斟一杯。申田田皱眉说：“死酒鬼，少喝两杯，省得到时候胡说八道！” “一杯，就一杯！”道者一面摇头，一面将杯凑到鼻尖，想到只此一杯，迟迟不忍喝下。 “妈，我也要喝！”简容在一边猛吞口水。 “不行！”申田田一扬眉毛，“小孩子不许喝酒！” “哥哥为什么能喝？” “他满十五岁了！” “十五岁就了不起吗？哼，他活到一百五十岁，还是一个饭桶！” 简真身子一颤，当的一声，打翻了酒杯。 “看呐，他连杯子也拿不稳！”小容心怀妒忌，一心挖苦兄长出气，“哥哥是饭桶，哥哥是大饭桶！” 简真望着弟弟，就像见了狼的兔子，恨不得整个儿缩到椅子里面。 “不许这样说你哥哥！”申田田瞪起眼睛，伸手要抓简容。可是小东西仗着飞剑，满世界乱蹿。做妈的又气又急，一抖手，抽出一支毛笔，正要施法，忽听小真颤声说：“简容，你、你也没什么了不起的，你、你长到十五岁，也，也未必比我强多少！” “呸！”简容啐了一口，“我可是羽士，你只是一个甲士！” “甲、甲士又怎么着？” “天道者全是羽士，一个甲士也没有……” “闭嘴！”申田田一扬手，一道金光缠住简容，将他拉扯过来，横在膝上，狠狠揍了两下屁股。小顽皮扯起喉咙干号，一边号叫，一边研究他老妈的脸色。 这一哭生出奇效，申田田软了心肠，抱着小儿子又哄起来：“好啦好啦，谁叫你淘气，他再没用也是你哥哥，你不要那么骂他……” 简真跳了起来，低头冲出门去。申田田自悔失言，忙叫：“嗐，你上哪儿去？” 大个儿不作声，一晃身，消失在车门外面。 申田田放下简容，想要去追，简怀鲁挥手说：“算了，随他去！他也走不远。” “你这甩手老爸做得可真舒服！”申田田语气尖刻，回头又瞪简容，“小鬼头，全怪你！”伸手拧那粉脸蛋，出手凶狠，落下时却十分轻柔。 “小容！”简怀鲁喝了一口酒，“你说得不太对……” "Why not?" “天道者里也有过一个甲士……”简怀鲁说到这儿，不觉握紧酒杯，“所以说，你不能小瞧你的哥哥。” “那个甲士是谁？”简容瞪大眼睛。 “我说不出来！”简怀鲁摇了摇头，“这个人为了某个原因，放弃了自己的名字，在他取回名字以前，震旦里所有的人，都不能提到那三个字！” “放弃自己的名字？真有趣，妈，我也要放弃自己的名字……” “嘁！”申田田脸色惨变，慌忙捂住那张小嘴，“小鬼头，说什么胡话？” “见笑了！”简怀鲁冲着方非苦笑，“家务事就是闹心！来，说说点化人的事儿——你们怎么失散的呢？” 方非叹了口气，把冲霄车失事的经过说了一遍，众人听到大鹏，全都变了脸色。 “点化人是女的？”申田田忍不住问。 “您怎么知道？”方非吃了―惊。 “女道者才干这种傻事！”申田田皱了皱眉，“就好比九夫玄女点化姬轩辕、西王母点化周穆王、樊夫人点化刘纲、鲍姑点化葛洪……” “那也不见得！”简怀鲁慢吞吞地说，“男道者做点化人的也不少啊，拿有名的来说，广成子点化老聃，陆通点化庄周，许迈点化王羲之……” “呸，男点化人都是天道者，他们的凶险哪儿有女道者大？” “玄女和西王母也是天道者……” “顶心顶肺的死酒鬼！哼，樊夫人和鲍姑就不是天道者，她们这么做，全都是因为太傻，不经意爱上了红尘里的男人”申田田说到这儿，触动柔肠，眼圈儿微微发红，她揉了两下，才对方非说，“你的点化人也这样的吗？” “这个……”方非十分狼狈，“你们说的，我都听不懂！” “听不懂？”申田田瞪大眼睛，“天呐！天呐！” 简怀鲁也觉吃惊：“方非，你不知道'点化'的事吗？” 方非茫然摇头，申田田又叫：“天呐！天呐！” “有意思！”简怀鲁取出一个烟斗，捻了一撮琅嬛草点燃，“难道说，点化你以前，点化人没有告诉你点化的事？” “什么也没说！” “点化以后呢？” “也没说什么！” “荒唐！”申田田大叫，“这个人真是不知轻重，这么大的事情，怎么也不跟人家说清楚？” 简怀鲁呼出一口烟雾，烟气凝成一只青凤，若有若无，无声飞舞。 “方非！”男道者凑上前来，咧嘴一笑，“你很担心点化人的安危吧？” 方非噪子发哽，好不容易才吐出字来，“她、她也许不在了……”这念头在他心底闪现了不知多少次，这时说出口来，只觉身子一空，一股悲恸涌上心头，眼鼻又酸又热，恨不得大哭一场。 忽觉有人拍打肩膀：“没事，没事！”申田田的嗓门又粗又响，“你的点化人一定没事！” “什么？”方非瞪大眼睛，就像茫茫雪原里看见一点火星，“为什么？” 妇人笑了起来，简怀鲁伸出烟斗，点了点方非的额头：“你还活着吗？” “我？我当然活着！” “那就对了！”简怀鲁哈哈大笑。 伤心事成了他人的笑料，方非瞪着两个道者，眼里几乎喷火。 “开个玩笑。”简怀鲁摆了摆手，“你知道吗？一经点化，点化人和度者就会性命相连。你活着，她也活着，她死你也会没命。所以说，你还活着，点化人就一定没事！” “我活着，她也活着？”方非一半狂喜，一半惊疑。 “点化，有点儿意思！”简怀鲁呼出一口烟气，化为一条苍龙，摇头摆尾地赶上青凤，龙飞凤舞，留下一片奇香。 “裸虫的魂魄暗弱，很难学成道术，元婴是个例外，可是变成了鬼魂儿，失去肉身的感觉不太好受！”简怀鲁的烟气从鼻孔里喷出，化为了两只冲天的烟鹤，“裸虫想要全身进入震旦，只有一个法子，那就是点化。点化人必须是道者，他与裸虫立约，并以'度凡印'为证。有了这个誓约，双方的魂魄就会连接起来，裸虫从此成为度者，有了道者之魂！” “度凡印？”方非低头看向手背，心神一阵恍惚。 “度者有了道者之魂，就与道者没什么两样，道者的道术，度者都能学会。可有一点，点化人与度者魂魄相连，如果一个人死去，另一个人也活不成……” “啊！点化人岂不太吃亏了？” “说得对！”简怀鲁的嘴角浮现出一丝苦笑，“度者初入道时身心孱弱，极易遭受妖魔侵害。点化人如果还有仇家，更不会放过这个大好的报复机会。所以自古以来，极少道者愿意点化裸虫，这种事损己不利人，一个不慎，不但护不住度者，还会丢了自身的小命儿。” 方非隐约感觉到什么，心子一阵狂跳，忍不住说：“这么大的风险，为什么还有人点化裸虫呢？” “原因很多。”简怀鲁吸足了一口烟，这一次烟气从两只耳朵喷了出来，化为了一对孔雀，左雄右雌，雄的昂首开屏，雌的温顺驯服。 “有些裸虫天生异才，比如老聃、庄周，法统万物，压倒天人；王羲之是书法中的圣哲，千古以来没有第二个，我们道者靠笔吃饭，对他相当佩服。他们成为道者，没人会说半个不字。至于那几个女道者，嘿，点化裸虫，根本就是意气用事……” “意气用事？”申田田板起了脸，“死酒鬼，这么说，你跟我结婚是意气用事？” “这是两码事……” “一码事。哼，给我说清楚，说不请楚，不许吃饭！” “这个……”简怀鲁挠了挠头，“她们是意气用事，我嘛，是福气用事。” "What words?" “什么玄女，王母，哪儿比得上你啊？”男道者说话，一点儿也不嫌肉麻，“你肯嫁给我，完全是简某人的福气！” “死酒鬼，不害臊！”女道者眉开眼笑，抡起右手给了丈夫狠狠一掌，拍得老酒鬼向前猛蹿，一口烟呛着嗓子，烟气从眼耳口鼻一齐涌出，化为了一大群东飞西蹿的云雀。 简怀鲁喝了一大口虫露酒才缓过气来，又见方非沉默，问道：“小家伙，那个女道者为什么点化你啊？” “我……”方非张口结舌。他生来平庸，没什么天生的异才；听申田田的口风，那几个女道者都对度者动了感情，这一点更是没有可能，谁与燕眉这么说，方非敢打赌，少女一巴掌过去，准会打歪他的脖子。 燕眉为什么点化他呢？灵光一闪，方非浑身发抖，脸上失去了血色。
