New White Snake Asking Immortals

A small mountain village under the mountains.

Trees surround the village, old wooden bridges, green grass by the clear stream, a few shepherd boys rolled up their trousers and went into the water to catch fish, occasionally yelling and running, splashing water to chase fish, low thatched huts, fences, chickens and dogs scattered by the stream It is said that the butterflies and bees in the yellow flower fields are busy collecting honey, and the remote and poor places that cannot squeeze out a little oil are like a paradise.

The fish old man walked slowly into the village with bamboo baskets and baskets on his shoulder pole, and greeted the farmers working in the fields from time to time.

Occasionally, he would quickly hide on the side of the road to watch those brash men gallop across the road.

When those warriors were far away, the old man walked quickly home with a shoulder pole, with a troubled face, walked across the wooden bridge and returned to his courtyard.

Usually, after going home from the market and resting for a while, he has to work, but today the old man is uncharacteristically.

Back in the low thatched hut, I sat in a daze, as if something was on my mind.

From the hot noon until the sun sets, the son and daughter-in-law who work outside come home, and the grandson who herds cattle wears a straw hat and rides a buffalo into the yard, carrying straw ropes and strings of frogs, river fish and a few birds. Yelling hungry to eat.

Smoke was rising from every household.

The countryside is poor and only eats two meals a day.

The son who was busy in the yard saw the bamboo baskets by the wall.

"Father, is there no one to buy bamboo baskets at the market today? It will be busy farming in two days, so it shouldn't be..."

The old fish man, who was thinking about things in the room, rubbed his head, didn't say anything, got up and went to the outer room to take out a brand new hatchet and handed it to his grandson.

"The blacksmith in the town asked grandpa to bring it to you, Uncle Wang. Grandpa is tired. Good grandson, let's go and don't fall."

The tiger-headed grandson picked up the hatchet and ran out, yelling at the little friends of the Wang family to come out.

The old fish man glanced at his daughter-in-law who was cooking and went back to the back room to sit still, happy and sad for a while.

It was getting dark quickly in the mountains.

In order to save money, the villagers basically don’t light up the lights, and they go to bed after dinner, and when the grandson falls asleep after playing for a day, the fish old man greets his son and daughter-in-law. The sleepy and tired young couple is more filial, enduring the tiredness and waiting for the father to speak.

The old man first leaned over the window and looked out for a while to make sure that everyone in the village was asleep.

The tall and skinny son was so sleepy that his eyelids were clenched.

"Father, did you pick up any money at the market today? If you don't tell me what's going on at dinner, you have to wait until evening."

The daughter-in-law pushed him and forbade him to talk to the old man like that. The father-in-law must have something important to say because he is prudent.

The old man Yu sighed, his son is simple and honest, fortunately he married a good wife.

"Keep quiet, both of you. Listen to me. There are more joyful things than picking up silver. Gold and silver touch people's hearts. You must cover your mouth to avoid killing yourself."

A few words from the old man frightened the young couple so that they were not sleepy in an instant. They were not afraid of suffering or tiredness, but they were afraid of death.

Ants are greedy for life. Survival is the instinct of life. Ordinary people just want to live a peaceful life. It may be ordinary and boring. They repeat the path of their ancestors from generation to generation. Who wants to die if they can live in peace, let alone have children at home.

The young couple didn't dare to make a sound, and saw their father digging a hole in the house with the help of the faint moonlight. Years of life had already trampled the soil in the house hard, and digging was extremely laborious.

"I went to the market today and saw a lot of outsiders coming to the town."

"The well-known Old Landlord Hu in the town was dragged out like a dog. Group after group of people rushed into the compound to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find things. They even looted the house. The whole landlord's house was almost beaten to death."

Hearing this, the young couple's eyes lit up, it's a good fight, those guys riding on their heads and domineering are all dead!

The old man fish continued.

"At that time, I wondered what those outsiders were looking for. It turned out that the Tuxian family in the city offered a reward for finding stones with words."

Digging and throwing away the hoe, the palms touched the rotten boards.

"That's not an ordinary character, it's shining like gold, and the Tuxian family rewards stones with gold."

Without much effort, the rotten boards shattered with a light tug, accompanied by a smell of rotten wood. When the old man tore apart the rotten boards, the young couple saw a gleam of golden light, but they were soon caught by the soil rolling down around the pit. Covered, the two were stunned, there is a baby at home?

The old, callused palms pushed aside the dirt, and with great effort pulled out a piece of broken stone about a foot long.

I don't know if I looked at it just now, but the stones now don't have any golden light, they are ordinary, and they are no different from the stones used to build walls.

The old man Yu was so tired of moving stones that he was panting heavily, and he planned to take a breather before continuing.

Maybe after a short while, maybe in the blink of an eye.

The surface of the rock covered with damp soil flickered again, and the young couple could see clearly that it was indeed a golden light.

It feels like an oil lamp that is about to be extinguished when the lamp oil is exhausted. The wick is struggling to flicker with a weak flame. The golden light is suspended on the surface of the stone. Besides the golden light, there are other patterns, and the room is too dark to see clearly.

The dark room was very quiet, only the cub grinding his teeth could be heard.

The old man Yu seemed to be recalling the past.

"A long time ago, your grandparents were still there. Once it rained for several days and there was a flood in the mountains."

Thinking of the terrible torrent, I couldn't help shivering.

"Oh, it's scary. The mountain torrents are higher than the jujube trees outside the door. Our village originally lived on the barren beach, but we moved here because the flood washed away the house and farmland. Many people died in the flood. Even the dead body can't be found, and the one who runs fast can survive."

There are rumors about mountain torrents in the village, and the young couple have heard many times that the fertile land on the barren rocky beach used to be high-quality fields.

"The farmland soil was washed away. Many stones and big trees washed down from the mountains. The beasts that were washed down screamed and wailed. Many people saw big snakes as thick as stones. After the flood, there were dead beasts everywhere."

Veteran hands caressed the stones and wiped away the dirt little by little.

"One day I went to the deserted rocky beach to herd cattle, and secretly fished in the water. When I turned over the stone, I saw a golden light on the downward side of the stone."

"I told your grandfather about this when I got home, and the whole family secretly moved home in the middle of the night."

"Why is this stone glowing with gold? I can't understand the paintings on it. I worry about being known all day long. The family of the **** in the neighboring village dug a luminous grass in the mountain and sold it in the market for money. Who knows those things? The villain not only refused to pay the money, but also killed the whole family of the lame man, alas, I had to bury the stone, and I almost forgot about it after a long time."

Apparently what happened to the cripple's house in the neighboring village was no secret, and the young couple was also scared.

The son swallowed hard.

"Father, why don't you bury the stone back, or throw it far away."

The old fish man stroked the stone and struggled inwardly.

He was sure that the pictures on the crushed stone on the notice were familiar, and they were very similar to the pictures on the stone in his hand. Everyone knew that the notice offered a reward, and it was ten taels of gold or a hundred taels. The gold in the courtyard of a large family in a good farmland has lived for decades and has never seen silver. How can you not be moved, but the old man is afraid of death.

Scratching the instep, the skin rustled by the nails.

"We really exchanged stones for gold, I'm afraid we won't survive three days, and end up with the cripples in the neighboring village."

However, there is an inexplicable feeling that this stone can bring benefits to him, his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and maybe he can become a big landlord. In the eyes of the old man, being a landlord is the highest level he dared to imagine. good day.

"Perhaps...you can change it to something else."

The old fish man who had been timid all his life said to himself.

"Our village and town don't belong to Tu's family, and we won't get any benefit from entrusting them to others. I've lived in peace all my life. Old man, I want to fight like the gambler Wang Er, and use this stone to go to Tu's house to exchange for something to support the family. As we get older, it doesn’t matter if we die a few years earlier or a few years later, if it happens, our whole family will move to the territory of the Tu family.”

"father…"

The son and daughter-in-law are in a hurry, why take risks when they are living well.

The old fish waved his hand to indicate that needless to say, he also wanted his grandson to wear the same clothes as the landlord's grandson instead of ragged trousers.

"That's it, what are you supposed to do? If I don't come back, I'll be taken away by a wild beast when I go into the mountain."

The old man Yu is very stubborn, and no one can change the decision.

That night, the young couple didn't sleep well, but the old fisherman had a good night's sleep and had a dream. He dreamed that on a rainy day, there was a strange white creature with long claws swimming around in the clouds. Inexplicably, he felt that it was a dragon...

The next day, the fish old man walked across the wooden bridge with a shoulder pole, and went out with smelly dried fish.

A few more days passed.

In the underground secret room of the restaurant in the city, Tuyue, who was anxiously waiting, got clues related to the gravel. There were too many fake news, but this time the clues sounded real.

A shopkeeper in charge of local affairs rushed into the city and led the old man who was shocked by the city to ask to see his immediate superior. He soon saw Tuyue in the box on the second floor, and the empty-handed old man tremblingly made a condition.

They don't want gold, but they need dozens of acres of land and three brick houses on the condition that the whole family moves to the Tu family's territory.

The gold offered as a reward can buy a lot of land and big tile-roofed houses, but the old man Yu didn't dare to take it, and Tuyue didn't expect that the country old man could resist the temptation and make the right choice.

A few pieces of farmland and houses are nothing more than a monk.

Tuyue readily agrees to Old Man Yu's conditions.

Then, the old man Yu led a group of glamorous nobles to a remote mountain forest, and dug out the hidden magical stones in the swamp. Tuyue confirmed at a glance that it was real, and the words had the same golden light, although most of the words were seriously damaged. After losing his spirituality, he finally gained something after so many days, and immediately gave the old man three cattle.

Tuyue, who got the mysterious broken stone, washed the stone clean, and studied it all night, but still couldn't figure it out. Through the occasional flashes of golden light, she realized that it was the word "Luo", and the text and graphics without golden light could not be read, and there was no rule at all.

When it was about to dawn, the maid informed that the lake outside was filled with fog, especially the fog on the roof.

Tuyue suddenly remembered what the mysterious girl said.

When you find the clue, there will be thick fog outside the roof terrace, and you can see her when you walk directly into the dense fog, and your back will break out in cold sweat. I don't know whether the mysterious girl has placed eyeliner in the restaurant or she has supernatural powers. Tuyue thinks the second possibility more sexual.

"Hey, we monks must hold back our greed, understand what respect is, be cautious about current affairs, and hope that the one who is happy will reward you with some benefits, just like the old fish man, hold back your greed, and get something real The benefits of living."

Sighing helplessly, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com tried hard to remember the image and breath of the stone, and climbed to the top of the building with the stone in hand.

Step onto the misty patio.

I saw a stone path winding upwards in the dense fog.

"..."

Taking a deep breath to calm down the shock in my heart, I walked out of the terrace alone with the gravel. Then, feeling the solid ground under my feet, I turned my head instinctively, and found that the terrace and the restaurant were gone. The trees are shadowy.

Tuyue didn't know if she could go home, so she could only continue up the mountain.

Guessing from the bottom of my heart that the place I want to go to is probably a castle in the clouds, that secret place with more and more legends, and I look forward to getting a chance.

The mountain road is steep, and the spell is imprisoned and it is difficult to sprint and fly, so you can only climb the mountain step by step.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog in the mountain became thinner and thinner. Tuyue saw a beautiful pavilion on the top of the mountain like a fairy palace, and also saw the familiar big demon tiger, whose fierceness was stronger than before.

Hurry up and bow your head respectfully.

"Junior Tuyue pays homage to Senior Hu, and I will return to my command today, with Senior Lao Hu leading the way."

For some reason, I always feel that the tiger and the big monster are very sleepy, and they look much thinner than the last time they met.

Fat Tiger nodded listlessly, turned and led the way.

Tuyue, who finally had a chance to look at the surrounding scenery, saw many elixir, exotic flowers and grasses were fragrant and fragrant, any one of them would cause bloodshed in the practice world, and occasionally birds came to peck at it, and the tiger demon didn't bother to take a look. Don't care if the elixir is destroyed.

Resist the urge to compete with the birds and follow the tiger demon step by step.

With countless questions, Tuyue walked up to the platform and came to the front of the hall. She saw the densely packed shelves in the brightly lit hall, and also saw the mysterious girl behind the books. She was wearing a white dress today, with loose black hair, wide cuffs and The hem of the skirt is painted with mountains in ink, the clear ink seeps and the ink becomes lighter, and the white fragrance floats.
