I picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured wine into the master again and again, hoping to trick him into talking when he was drunk.
Ginger is still spicy, but I didn't expect this bad old man to be very bad. I felt that I had almost finished drinking, so I quickly put down the glass and stopped drinking. No matter how much I tried to persuade me, I made a few more mouthfuls of soy sauce beef and threw away my chopsticks without eating...
He glanced at me a few times and said gloatingly: "You kid still wants to play tricks on me. I've watched you grow up. Even if you raise your butt, I know what you're going to do! You want to feed me."
You're just talking nonsense when you're drunk, right? There's no way! You will know sooner or later if you should know, and if you shouldn't know, there's no point in asking around!"
After saying that, the old man stood up, swayed to the bow deck, picked up the shiny old brass smoking gun, took out a handful of yellow tobacco leaves from the cigarette pocket, and poured it into the pot.
Inside, I continued to get angry, squatting there and chattering non-stop.
I looked at the master's back, which was a bit stooped. He was obviously older than in previous years. Hey, time really doesn't take its toll!
The master seemed to have eyes on his back, and without looking back, he yelled at me to stop staring at him and go over to chat with him.
I walked to the master dejectedly and sat down on the deck.
The master touched my head, looked at me with a kind light in his eyes, and said that I had lost weight these days while running. He also said that he would make me a pot of medicinal soup to recuperate my body and expel all the bruises and residual toxins from my body.
Otherwise, it will keep accumulating in the body, which will affect future practice over time.
When I mentioned medicine, I suddenly thought of "Yin Ganoderma" and "Jade Ganoderma". I quickly ran back to the boat, took out my backpack, and dumped it all in front of the master.
The master took the wooden box containing the "Jade Ganoderma", his hands were visibly trembling, and he carefully opened the lid of the box, revealing the half piece of "Jade Ganoderma" inside. He stared at it for a long time, sighing, and kept talking about what a pity it was.
"Hey, it's true that there is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. Your master has been searching hard for most of his life. He has traveled to countless underworlds and ancient tombs. In the end, he didn't even see the hairs of Jade Ganoderma lucidum.
, I didn’t expect you to have such bad luck, and you got it without any effort! Hey, it’s really the fate of the people!”
"Master, what do you want with this thing?"
I asked the master curiously.
"Treating the wound, my wife was bitten by a poisonous snake. My master used rare treasures to hang her life up, and she became a half-dead living dead. The master has read in ancient books that jade lingzhi can revive human flesh and white bones, and I think it must be true.
I can cure Master Niang. After that, I went crazy looking for Jade Lingzhi everywhere. I was afraid that it would delay the cultivation of the immortal family in the hall, so I left the hall with a cruel heart. I didn’t let you, Master Cao, accompany me either.
He was alone and died in a big tomb without any explanation."
“What kind of snake venom can’t be detoxified without using something like Jade Ganoderma?”
"Hey, I haven't seen that kind of snake. I heard my wife mentioned it when she was last awake, saying that the thing was only two feet long and no thicker than a thumb. It had a pointed head and didn't follow.
Other snakes only have four fangs, but this thing actually has a mouth full of serrated teeth, its body is covered with colorful patterns, flashes of light, and its tail is shortened. I have lived for most of my life, and my neck is buried in the earth.
, let alone never seen it, I have never heard of what kind of snake it is! I also asked many friends on the road, but no one has heard of it. Even places where venomous snakes are abundant do not have such a thing! Damn it.
The mother has gone crazy!"
"Hey, that's not right, master, he must be quite powerful, right? How could he die in an ancient tomb? Logically speaking, he shouldn't!"
"Hey, who says it's not the case? Your Master Cao and I are also wondering, but the fact is there. Although your Master left the hall at that time, he was secretly followed by several immortal guardians. Suddenly one day one of them
An immortal came back in embarrassment and told us that your master was in trouble and died in the tomb."
"What happened next? What happened next?"
"That's what happened after that. Your Master Cao and I also went to search for your master's body, but we never thought that there were restrictions on that ancient tomb. The two of us couldn't even open the door, and we couldn't even open it.
I can't get in! This matter has always been a thorn in the heart of me and your uncle Cao. We secretly vowed that we must take the bones out of that big tomb and bury them with my wife in this life. But now it's good, your uncle Cao has passed away.
This matter is completely weighing on my head..."
As the master spoke, he took a few puffs from his old pipe, exhaled a burst of lingering smoke, and squinted his eyes, as if he had suddenly become much older.
"Don't worry, Master. Even though Master Cao is gone, I still have me. One day I will help you bring Master out and fulfill your wish!"
I couldn't bear to see the master in such a state of desolation, so I comforted him.
"Oh, good disciple, the master can only place his hope on you. I am old now, and my physical strength and spirit are not as good as before. Haha, I have become one-armed when I am old. I am not as old as I used to be.
It’s useful!”
The master looked at the Immortal Lake in front of him and sighed.
"Okay, you kid has been struggling for several days. Take a good rest and regain your energy. The master will prepare you some medicine to recuperate your health tomorrow."
As he said this, the master slowly squatted down from the ground, and then slowly stood up again. It looked very laborious.
He patted his butt and ran to the back room on the first floor. He looked tired.
I watched the master enter the room, closed the door with his backhand, and went straight to the second floor. I had been working hard these past few days and was very tired. I finally had some free time. My body really couldn't bear it any longer and I dozed off. Push me away.
In the room, he took off his clothes three times, threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
In a daze, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that the immortals in the hall and I were fighting with a small snake. The snake was only about two feet long, slightly thicker than a thumb, and had a pointed head.
It has a mouth full of sharp teeth, and its body is covered with colorful patterns. It occasionally shines with dazzling light. Its tail is not like other snakes, which slowly goes from thick to thin. Instead, it has a snake body as thick as a thumb.
, ended abruptly and did not have a smooth transition.
The snake in the dream suddenly gained a lot of power and was extremely strange. We were beaten back and forth, and we could only hold on. We watched as it trembled all over and split into countless snakes. It entangled us one by one and bit us all with bruises.
…
I suddenly woke up with a start!
I felt the cold sweat all over my body and looked at the faint morning light coming in from outside the cabin. It was already bright.
I jumped up, rubbed my groggy head, put on my clothes hastily, opened the door and walked out.
The master was guarding a casserole and cooking something when he smelled the aroma of medicine from a distance. I knew that it was probably the medicine he had stewed for me early in the morning to help me take care of my health.
Sure enough, the master saw me getting up and called me over to finish my drink.
The temperature was just right, and the taste was okay, sweet and sour, slightly bitter. I drank half of the casserole concoction in one gulp and wiped the corners of my mouth.
The master yelled not to waste it, and asked me to scoop some hot spring water from the lake, soak the medicinal residue in it, and take a bath.
I followed the instructions one by one. It happened that I hadn't taken a shower for a long time and it was time to wash up.
I looked at the water in the bathtub getting dirtier and dirtier, turning black, and giving off a faint fishy smell. Then my whole body felt more and more relaxed, with an indescribable sense of comfort. I knew that the master had given me
The medicine I prepared worked, and the bruises and toxins accumulated in my body were eliminated as the medicine evaporated.
After taking a medicated bath, I felt relaxed all over. I suddenly remembered the peach stone I found yesterday when I rummaged through my bag. It was the last time I dealt with Li Xiao'e. The peach girl finally threw it to me and asked me to help her plant this peach stone. She also told me
Take good care of it.
Qunxian Lake is undoubtedly the best home for this peach tree. It is full of spiritual energy and is absolutely suitable for its growth.
I dug out the peach core and swung to the shore of the lake on a small golden sampan. I chose a place with fertile soil, dug a hole and carefully planted the peach core. I watered it, cultivated the soil, watered it again, and took good care of it.
There was a splashing sound in the nearby grass nest, and a white thing suddenly jumped out and rushed towards me. I couldn't dodge, and was jumped by the thing. I staggered back several steps and almost fell.
Here.
When I stood firm and took a closer look, it turned out to be the big white fox!
She smiled brightly at me, kept rubbing my pants, and stuck out her tongue to lick me. She didn't look like a fox. Those who didn't know better thought she was a big white dog!
Then there was another flash of white shadow, and the two big white raccoons also came to kill them. Each had a few cubs in their mouths, spit them out on the ground, and kept bowing to me, thanking me profusely.
I told them to practice diligently. These fairy lakes are pulse eyes with a radius of hundreds of miles and are the places with the strongest spiritual energy. Don't let all my hard work go down.
They all agreed hurriedly, nodding like mincing words.
Suddenly I heard a strange crackling noise behind me. I turned around and saw, my dear mother, what an eye-opener!
I saw that the peach core I buried in the soil actually sprouted saplings regardless of the season. This was nothing, it actually grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it was already head-high, and after another
It has grown into a towering tree!
The spiritual energy around Qunxian Lake was stirred by this big peach tree, floating in blossoms and clusters, and it was so rich that it seemed to have become sticky.
The spiritual energy wrapped the entire peach tree tightly, and then suddenly dissipated in the blink of an eye, as if the peach tree was swallowed by a whale and swallowed up.
After a while, the big peach tree seemed to have drunk enough spiritual energy, and it faintly revealed a little spirituality. It suddenly pulled out countless fresh branches, and the green peach leaves were like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain. In the blink of an eye, there were countless branches and leaves.
The pink and tender little flower buds danced and popped up, as if a spring breeze came suddenly overnight, and thousands of peach blossoms bloomed on the trees!
The trees are full of peach blossoms, blooming into a sea of flowers!
The peach blossoms bloomed quickly and fell quickly, transforming into peaches the size of fingernails. They were so fluffy and cute!
A few pieces of spiritual energy gathered into idle clouds and floated over, forming a sweet rain, pouring down on the big peach tree. Those fluffy little peaches seemed to open their small mouths, greedily sucking the sweet rain transformed by the spiritual energy, and blinked.
The peach fruit swelled and grew into fresh peaches the size of fists, covered with layers of blush, like drunken little ladies, blushing with shame. There was a faint sweet and waxy peach fragrance, which made people salivate.
ruler!
I stared at the tree full of fresh peaches and couldn't help wiping my saliva. I quickly stepped forward to pick a few to try.
"Snapped!"
Before my hand touched the peach, a cute little white hand slapped the back of my hand, making a crisp sound.
I shivered with fright and quickly raised my eyes to look up. I saw two long legs swinging above my head, with the hem of my skirt swaying, like a fairy!
The owner of these legs is wearing a pink brocade skirt and a pink plain shirt. A pink peach blossom hairpin is inserted diagonally in the hair. There is a green and childish girlish atmosphere in the eyes and brows. She is going there.
The peach girl of the underworld!
"Hey, what about you! Don't pick my peaches!"
She smiled lightly at me, her eyebrows curved like crescent moons in the night sky. It was really beautiful, and it instantly seemed like a clear sky and a spring breeze...
"Here, here you go, try it, it's very sweet!"
The peach girl picked a few ripe peaches and threw them to a few of us. She jumped straight down from the tree and landed smoothly on the ground.
She patted my shoulder and said maliciously: "Xiao Baizi, my sister likes you and will protect you from now on!"
