Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. The cold rain awakened the giant snake and drowned my kindness. I lamented the sinister nature of people's hearts, and stabbed them in the back with a smile on their face. They were loyal to the old ways, but they were just words.
There was thunder and lightning, and the rain flowed across the river. Ma Ningshuang and I supported each other and walked through the dense forest. Our faces were numb from the rain, and our ears were deafened by the thunder.
Ma Ningshuang just walked forward numbly, regardless of whether there were stones under her feet or not. She couldn't tell whether it was more tears or more rain on her face. Her foot slipped and she fell to the ground, but she didn't want to stand up again and slapped the water on the ground hard.
He couldn't accept this sudden reality, so he burst into tears, threw himself into my arms, and cried while hugging me.
Although the sudden encounter with a traitor was unexpected, I soon understood that the hidden story behind it was probably not that simple. First of all, when Lao Daoer and I came here, we met the person who had transformed into a corpse in the village.
Needless to say, the strange thing must be related to the mysterious man. Secondly, it is the Hengda Shouzhuang, where Xiaoyaozi once studied under a teacher, and he and Ma Di are brothers. If the mysterious man wants to find a way to restrain Xiaoyaozi's soft sword,
, you have to come here, and you happen to be in cahoots with Ma Dihang.
This shows that there must be some kind of alliance of interests between the two people.
After walking for half a night, the rain still showed no intention of stopping. Ma Ningshuang's lips turned white and she was trembling constantly. She didn't have a good sense of direction in the forest, and with the heavy rain, she didn't know where she went.
My eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a dilapidated mountain temple in the distance. I shouted excitedly, pulled Ma Ningshuang and ran over. But when I arrived at the temple gate, I was frightened and said: "Something is wrong, this deep mountain and old forest
How could anyone light a fire in the temple?"
Ma Ningshuang grew up in Hengda Shouzhuang. She had seen all kinds of zombies and evil spirits, but when she saw the fire, she just shook her head.
The forest in Xing'an Mountains is so big that there are really all kinds of birds.
"What to do?" Ma Ningshuang looked at me, hesitant.
"What the hell, even if there are ghosts inside, I have to go in and take shelter from the rain." After saying that, I gritted my teeth and moved forward step by step. The temple door collapsed and only half of the stone pillars on both sides were left.
, I swallowed and looked into the temple.
I saw a long-haired monster, snoring and screaming strangely, which scared me so much that I jumped up and shouted. The monster was also frightened by my voice, twitched, and jumped up suddenly:
"Who, who?!"
I heard something like someone talking, and I was startled. I looked inside again and saw what kind of monster it was. It was obviously a beggar with ragged clothes and disheveled hair.
The man lifted up his disheveled hair with his hands, looked left and right, and shouted again: "Who is it?"
I leaned out half of my body, waved my hand, smiled and said to the man, "It's me."
The man was stunned at first, but he found a hairpin somewhere and fixed his disheveled hair behind his head. He narrowed his eyes and looked at me carefully.
"who I am?"
I scratched my head and replied awkwardly: "I got lost in the woods and came here to take shelter from the rain."
The man didn't answer, but still stared at me intently. Only then did I realize that this mountain temple was not owned by his family, and he didn't know how to eat people. I was afraid that he would do something, so I dragged Ma Ningshuang in.
The pile of firewood on the ground was about to go out, so I quickly picked up a piece of wood and filled it in. The two of us were warming ourselves by the fire. The man had not spoken and must have been sixty or seventy years old.
I sat down on the ground, took out a relatively complete steamed bun from my luggage, wiped the rainwater on it with my sleeves, broke off half of it and gave it to Ma Ningshuang. To say that this steamed bun was given to me by Ma Di, let alone the drippings inside.
Although it is not very humane to test the poison with Ma Ningshuang, Ma Di probably expected that Ma Ningshuang would also eat the dry food, so he would not poison it.
My belly was also beating, so I couldn't care less and took a big bite immediately.
That old man
Swallowing his saliva, he said: "My dear friend, your appearance and temperament are indeed extraordinary. You will definitely be a talented person in the future. As the saying goes, when someone is given a great responsibility from heaven, he must first starve his body and skin, empty his internal organs, and do more good deeds."
God bless, haha..." The old man laughed dryly after saying that and looked at the half steamed bun in my hand.
After hearing this, I glanced at him, where did this rhetoric come from, but I saw that he was probably very hungry, so I was about to break off half of the bun to him, but Ma Ningshuang handed her half of the steamed bun to the old man.
The old man took the steamed bun and stuffed two bites into his mouth, choking and belching repeatedly. I looked at the old man's embarrassed eating look and had no intention of guessing what this man had gone through.
"I don't know how old Tao'er is doing now. That Ma Di lured out the King of Ginseng, but he didn't dare to attack me. He secretly plotted murder. He really didn't recognize his relatives."
The old man smoothed his chest with his hands, smiled at me, but his mouth was dark, and his two front teeth were exposed. He smiled and said to me: "My little friend, you carry a lot of treasures and travel through the mountains and forests all the way.
It’s about human life.”
I was stunned after hearing this. This old man was really confused. How did he know that I was pregnant with such a valuable treasure? He quickly protected King Ginseng in his arms and asked tremblingly: "How did you know?"
"Ruibao must have a vision when he appears in this world. It is the depth of winter, how can it rain so heavily in the mountains!" The old man squinted his eyes and said to me in a pretentious tone.
"If you give me half the steamed bun in your hand, I will teach you the skills I have learned for a hundred years." As soon as he finished speaking, he placed his big hand covered with black mud on my Tianling Cap.
I was so excited that I saw this crazy old man. I quickly knocked off his big hand on my head and said angrily: "If you want steamed buns, I'll give them to you. Don't teach me my skills."
The old man opened his mouth and laughed: "Then give me the steamed buns."
I handed him the remaining half of the steamed bun. After finishing the steamed bun, the old man said to me: "Although I don't know any extraordinary magic skills, I can teach you a thing or two."
I didn't take it seriously, spread my hands and said to him: "I don't have any steamed buns anymore. Just say whatever you want."
"Little friend, don't look down on me. I am the first person in Hengda Shouzhuang to survive the four punishments of subduing the dragon." After the old man finished speaking, he tilted his head to one side.
Ma Ningshuang suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise: "Are you the Flower Ghost King?"
"Yes, it's me." The old man nodded to Ma Ningshuang.
I quickly asked Ma Ningshuang: "Who is this Flower Ghost King? How does he know about Hengda Shouzhuang?"
The old man Ma Ningshuang sat in a hunched posture and said slowly: "I heard from the people in the village that thirty years ago there was a strange man called the Flower Ghost King. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, people and people. His whereabouts were erratic and unpredictable, so he was everywhere.
Call him the Flower Ghost King. But later on, not only did he quit Hengda Shouzhuang for some reason, but he was also the first person to survive the four punishments of subduing the dragon."
"Why, I tell you, if you have Ma Di's appearance in your eyes, you must be someone close to him. Back then, Ma Di, in order to become the chief helmsman, took away someone's ginseng king and also took his wife. It was really abominable.
, I went to tell you, but it’s hard to say anything, so I can only leave Hengda Shouzhuang for some peace and quiet!"
I was stunned on the spot. As expected, the Qilin Corpse Monster was really killed by Ma Di.
Ma Ningshuang also stood there, looking straight at the old man as if she couldn't believe her ears. But then she regained her composure, but there were tears in her eyes.
I sighed: "No wonder I'm missing two front teeth."
"Hey, I also want to inlay a pair of porcelain ones, but it's a pity that I'm short of money." After finishing speaking, the old man lowered his head and sighed.
While filling the fire with dry wood, I chatted with the Flower Ghost King.
I don't know when the rain stopped outside and the fire was extinguished. I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
Open your eyes, the sky suddenly becomes bright, the red sun slowly shines on the earth, and it revives
With heavy hope, Ma Ningshuang was covered with a smelly rag, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.
When I got up, I saw several big characters written in charcoal on the ground: A leaf blinds the eyes. The king of ginseng is here and the king of ginseng is dead. True and false, false and true. The signature: Flower Ghost King.
I knew it was the mysterious message left for me by the Flower Ghost King, but I could only speculate on my own. The King Ginseng in my arms was still there, and I had to go back and make a deal with Ma Di, the old smoker. Since Ma Di and the mysterious man
Being complicit means that the mysterious person must have given others some benefit. If nothing else, I am very curious about what the conditions were.
I covered my shoulders and slowly walked out of the earth temple. Looking at the red sun, I said to Ma Ningshuang beside me: "Where are you going?"
"I will follow you wherever you go!" Ma Ningshuang pouted and held my hand.
My heart was beating fast and my face was red. I hesitated and didn't know what I was going to say, so I quickly changed the subject: "I'm asking you a favor."
"What's the matter?" Ma Ningshuang's eyes widened.
I scratched my head and said to him: "I know you don't want to go back to Hengda Shouzhuang, but the old man is still there. Please help me put on a show."
"Ah?" Ma Ningshuang said in surprise.
The two of us walked and stopped in the forest, time passed quickly, and the sun was shining directly on our heads, but we were so fast ahead of Wangshan that we didn’t necessarily have to walk much longer to Crouching Tiger Peak in front of us.
At sunset, I was tired and groping in the thick fog, and returned to Qilin Slope. The big characters on the ajar door still looked upright. I took out the ginseng plant, took off my coat, wrapped it up, and took a deep breath.
With that tone, Hema Ningshuang pushed the door open and entered the two-story earth building called "True Dragon Hall".
My sudden intrusion made the helmsmen who were discussing the matter stunned. Ma Di, who was sitting in the middle, changed his eyes slightly, then greeted me with a smile, and said to me: "Haha, you are back so soon? You are back,
Why didn't Shui Xiaowu come and tell me?"
I felt disgusted in my heart and looked at him coldly: "He is dead, he was killed by me!"
The helmsmen on both sides were staring at me. Ma Di remained silent, holding the pipe in his hand, flipping it back and forth on his fingers, and then slapped the table and stood up. I subconsciously took a step back, and immediately
Di then shouted: "Humph, I have known for a long time that Shui Xiaowu has evil intentions, so he will die well."
After Ma Di finished speaking, Ma Ningshuang ran over in tears, threw herself into his arms, and choked with sobs: "Father, the fifth uncle went crazy when he saw King Ginseng and wanted to kill both of us, but the King of Ginseng ran away!
"
Ma Di frowned, patted Ma Ningshuang's head, and said nothing. The helmsmen in the hall didn't know why, and looked at Ma Di in confusion.
"Mr. Ma, I know that the old Taoist's poison can be removed without using ginseng." I said to Ma Di respectfully.
Ma Di hesitated: "This..."
At this time, a thin middle-aged man in the hall stood up, slapped his chest, and said to me: "I'm going to see what kind of poison the person you mentioned was poisoned, so that it made the chief helmsman so embarrassed." After that,
Without a look of disdain, he strode towards me.
A strangely dressed monk also stood up, slapped the table, and said fiercely: "Okay, you paraquat, you want to run away, do you want to explain the matter about the golden coffin quickly, otherwise no one will see you today?"
Want to leave!"
I have never seen this great monk, but Ma Ningshuang told me that the helmsman of one branch was a great monk, because when he first became a monk, the master who ordered the ring scars shivered because of his loud voice.
got one, so they called him Ten Stars.
Before Paraquat could answer, a man in a suit and leather shoes with parted hair and gauze also stood up. He thought he was the Guangdong helmsman who suffered cramps yesterday. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Ma Di, and said to him
: "I said, Mr. Ma, I don't care how they quarrel, but I have never heard of using ginseng to remove poison. I heard that the ginseng plant owned by the old helmsman is also in your hands. Don't you want to become an immortal?
