"There is no perfect strategy in this world. After all, things are ever-changing. Strategies can only determine the general direction, but not the details. What I planned at the beginning was just to use your Snake Sect's top-notch snake medicine to fight in this mountain range. Use it to summon a group of snakes to escape." The master explained this, indicating that being here was indeed unexpected.
"Then why should it be used in this mountain range?" I was a little confused.
"It's for the greatest effect! There are many snakes and insects in the south, and so is Kawachi! This mountain range is the sacred mountain range of the Snake Gate. Of course, there are more snakes. And I know that due to the existence and guardianship of the Snake Gate, there will be There are many alien snakes, which are more beneficial to our escape! But I am not 100% sure about this plan, because I don’t know much about who Yang Sheng will send and how powerful they are. Just like today, Chengyi, you almost fell into the biggest trap. Dilemma. I can only calculate a certain possibility, and then take a gamble. The biggest point is that Yang Sheng must do things in an obscure way this time. He should not take the big road carelessly, but may choose a remote road. And a section of the road is close to the Holy Land in the Holy Mountain! Everyone knows that the Shemen Gate is obscure, but who would have thought that the Holy Land of the Shemen Gate is actually close to a section of the road?" The master couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
Xiao Ding widened his eyes and said: "It must be close to the road. We also have to live. We need to go out to buy food, clothing, housing and transportation in daily life. Is it possible that we are still farming in the Holy Mountain?"
"This innocent Xiao Ding, I groaned helplessly, how can I explain to him, Master means that others can't figure out the Shemen. In fact, the so-called hidden world is also very close to this world.
The master probably didn't know how to explain it, so he could only change the topic and said: "In short, any strategy requires a little bit of luck. The way of heaven supports justice, which is eternal. People who do more good deeds have luck. It will always be better. If you don’t repay it in this life, you will also repay your children and relatives with blessings. You will always repay it in the next life."
"Master, what do you want to express?" I asked, this topic was irrelevant.
"It expresses that I am the messenger of justice." Master patted my head.
"Indeed, when you squat on the street and look at the expression on the big girl's face, I think she is also full of the aura of a messenger of justice." I nodded seriously in agreement.
Xiao Ding looked at me puzzled again, blinked his eyes, and said, "It's fair to say that a big girl is just."
The master coughed violently, and then said randomly: "You can understand it this way."
I simply can’t express how unfair Master is, and at the same time I feel deeply for Xiao Ding’s purest innocence. After all, he is a reclusive sect. He lives with snakes in the mountains all year round. Compared with people, animals are always simple, even cold-blooded animals. It must be because of this that Xiao Ding, who is around forty years old, is still as innocent as a teenager.
Time may have left some traces of vicissitudes on his face, but it has never left such traces on his heart.
We continued to walk through the secret passage. At my deliberate request, Xiao Ding did not let me see more ancestors. He just said to me: "It's okay not to see. In fact, ancestors all have their own personalities. Some are gentle, some are naughty, and some are dull. In short, they are just like people! Some have bad tempers, so it’s best not to disturb them.”
bad temper! I shuddered subconsciously, thinking of that 'naughty' big black snake. If it was really bad-tempered, it might teach me a lesson. But what Xiao Ding did say was interesting, these snakes with different personalities. , on the contrary, it gives people a sense of intimacy. I believe that these spiritual snakes have such intelligence, but at the same time, I also believe in their simplicity. Only simplicity can show such direct and single personality.
Xiao Ding’s innocent personality was probably formed by staying with these single guys.
Seeing endless beautiful scenery will make people forget their fatigue. This cave is also full of unexpected things. For example, Xiao Ding will look in the underground river from time to time and once caught two or three fish. It's transparent, looks long and pointed, and is very magical.
There are actually fungi here. After all, this environment is suitable for the growth of fungi, but I can’t recognize those fungi.
"This fish is a blind fish, and this kind of blind fish may only be found in Shemen. Grandpa said that the taste cannot even be compared to the famous swordfish. It is really delicious, but grandpa said not to eat too much because it is precious and rare. , let them multiply here and expand the population! The same goes for this fungus. The unique grandpa in this cave said that fungi can best absorb spiritual energy, which is why Ganoderma lucidum and other spiritual weapons are produced. This cave is full of spiritual energy, ancestors We just like to stay in this place, so these mushrooms that are full of spiritual energy are delicious when boiled in plain water." Xiao Ding said a lot, maybe he has been alone for too long,So I can't help but feel a little "verbose".
But I listened with gusto. I absolutely believe in the idea that fungi absorb spiritual energy. After all, when it comes to eating, people have always said this: four legs are not as good as two legs, two legs are not as good as no legs, and no legs are not as good. One leg.
What we are talking about here is that pigs, cattle and other animals are not as good as poultry, poultry is not as good as fish, and fish is not as good as fungi.
"Well, speaking of it, there is also a kind of blind shrimp here, which is even more delicious and cleaned. Even if you peel it and eat it raw, it doesn't taste like much. You can't eat it more, or even eat it like this, because grandpa said it's too cruel, so it's better to use it. It's better to make them drunk with rice wine before eating it." Xiao Ding was still searching.
And I heard the sound of "gudong" and "gudong", and it turned out to be my master swallowing his saliva at the side.
I was so happy. I believed that Master must have eaten the delicious food Xiao Ding described, so he couldn’t help but salivate. Xiao Ding’s words were full of natural kindness, which suddenly made me envious. It was so simple and clean. Living, even if you are innocent, is you happy?
What I didn’t expect was that a thrilling journey to escape would eventually turn into a ‘tour of mountains and rivers’, the ultimate enjoyment of eating delicious food.
I don’t know how long we walked through the cave, an hour or two? In short, when I reached the end, my legs started to feel sore, but I hadn’t seen enough of the beautiful scenery in the cave. There were many branches in the cave. Xiao Ding told me that the snake doors in those branch caves were not completely complete. I have a good understanding of the terrain, but there are also many magical places hiding many strangeness and miracles. I will always take me to see them if I have the opportunity in the future.
It made me feel itchy to say it, but he didn’t say what it was in detail. He said it was a mysterious existence and magical sight that couldn’t be described.
It seems that the place where Shemen lives in seclusion is really a good place. I sighed with emotion, but the master laughed and said, you have too little knowledge. The hermitage of my Taoist door is also full of magical and spiritual things. There is magic everywhere!
This reminds me of the time when Sister Jenny allowed me to experience a magical ‘flight’, and then led me to meet a strange person—Wang Feng! I didn’t stay in his seclusion for long, and I didn’t experience that much, but I remembered the delicious peaches and the magical rabbit, everything was like a dream.
When I was in a daze, I heard the sound of "rumbling" on the mountain wall again, and a stream of warm air belonging to the outside world blew into the cave. When I raised my head, I saw the quiet moonlight.
"Come out." Xiaoding turned to Master and I and said, "Outside is the real holy land of our Snake Gate. It's very beautiful."
This mysterious cave filled with ancestors is not a holy place, but the outside is actually a holy place. I feel very surprised.
I really wanted to go out and see this so-called beautiful holy land, but I hesitated before I took the step. Xiao Ding, who is rarely clever, looked at me and said funny: "There are no snakes at this exit, because there are no snakes at this exit." If you need it, just feel free to come out."
Although Xiao Ding said this, I was still trembling with fear when I walked out. After walking out of the cave, it took a while to recover.
Outside the cave is a narrow valley, just like a thin line of sky in some places. I can't feel any beautiful scenery here, I just think that nature is very magical. In the thin line of sky, the bright moon is shining. The outside is clear and looks very strange.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When I was fleeing for my life, when I looked at the moon, I felt it was full of a bleak whiteness.
Looking at it at this time, the moonlight has become softer, and the dim light actually makes people feel warm inside.
Xiao Ding walked in front and we followed him silently. After walking out of the sky and passing a corner, Xiao Ding suddenly turned around and smiled at me and said, "We're here!"
Does this need special reminder? I also turned around and walked out of this corner, and then I was stunned there!
Is there really such a place in the world? What I saw was an open lawn. On one side of the lawn was a grove of strange-shaped trees, surrounded by mountain walls, as if hugging the lawn. Behind the grove, there was a small waterfall. , rushing down the stream
These are not what shocked me the most. What shocked me most was that in front of the grove, there was a huge tree, which was bigger than the stone tree I just saw in the cave. The entire grove and underneath the big tree , lit up in patches or dots of tender green light, and from time to time tiny green light spots would dance.
Maybe there are fireflies here, these green photoelectricity and the warm yellow photoelectricity of fireflies are intertwined,?Like a fairyland.
Where have I been? Could it be the place where elves live in Western legends?
