So there is a story about the old cow giving the idea, the cowherd taking the clothes, and the weaver girl marrying him.
"Why did Zhinu fall in love with him?" Song Xi asked the doubt in her heart, "Is he very handsome?"
"He looks really good, very handsome. Even though he herds cows all day long, he still doesn't get a tan. His lips are red and his teeth are white."
"I guess it has something to do with the fact that he often comes to bathe in that lake." The fox replied.
"Isn't it said in the book that he is honest and loyal? This kind of character is inconsistent with his handsome appearance."
"I don't know why the authors of books in ancient times liked to write backwards. Later, I discovered the mistake after careful reading." Fox said,
"But you can't go wrong by your behavior. Would an honest and loyal man take a girl's clothes?"
Song Xi also likes to say irony when he thinks of his hometown dialect. Nine out of ten sentences are irony.
For example, if someone bullies you, and you bully you again, you say: "Return the favor."
For example, if you say you are really generous, it actually means that this person is really stingy.
In that context, it does mean to fight back and mean to be stingy. When written into a book, it is easy to cause confusion.
To put it bluntly, it was out of context of the general environment at that time, so it was distorted.
"No wonder she followed him even though she could actually leave, while the other fairy gangs dispersed without any help. There is a reason for the abnormality." Song Xi understood.
"You didn't take any action at that time and just let her go like that. Is this what the Queen Mother meant?"
"There are some children, the more they are controlled, the more rebellious they become. We can only let them experience it on their own, naturally with their instructions." The fox replied, "Okay, let's continue."
Since the marriage of Weaver Girl and Cowherd, Weaver Girl has indeed given many guidance on the practice of Cowherd.
But what Lao Niu wanted was the way to eternal life, so he always encouraged the Cowherd and later their children to ask the fairy.
How could fairies know that people are born to live longer than mortals?
It's like a cat running up to you and asking you why your life span is five times longer than mine, or ten times longer?
Do you know?
"God knows." Song Xi replied.
Yes, immortals are not immortal, they just live longer than mortals.
From the perspective of Lao Niu and Cowherd, Weaver Girl just didn't want to tell them, and they gradually developed a rift.
At the beginning, Weaver Girl was just disappointed with Cowherd and Lao Niu.
Later, under the instigation of the two men, the child accused the mother of being selfish, and Weaver Girl's mind gradually became cold.
One day, I took her back to heaven. Lao Niu was afraid that heaven would punish her, so she ran away.
Cowherd often came to heaven with his two children, hoping that Weaver Girl would change her mind.
Think about it, one day in the sky and one year on the earth. The Cowherd comes every day, and the three of them are crying and shouting to see the Weaver Girl every day. They also manipulate the swallows to create momentum, which makes the whole heaven extremely annoyed.
The Queen Mother saw through the Shuiyue Mirror that not long after, Lao Niu made everyone kill each other to gain longevity and power. The Cowherd and his descendants also became its accomplices, hoping that the heaven would throw the rat into a trap.
Because she was not sure which creature, or rather which creatures, the old cow was possessed by, she surrounded the area where its aura was present.
A range of hundreds of miles has been set up with a barrier to create another space, which is the secret realm where you are now.
All aboriginal creatures inside can no longer come to this world from inside.
Later, wars for fame and fortune took place in the secret territory, and the number of humans became less and less. Later, animals multiplied, and humans became the food they chased, until humans disappeared completely.
"Lao Niu said that humans only die without rebirth, and slowly become extinct." Song Xi told what he heard from the golden pheasant.
"Yes, if there are more dead than alive, then they will perish," the fox complained.
The Queen Mother asked me to take care of this secret place, and one of the keys is the one you have.
I saw him last time when I went to the secret realm. If you fully absorb this medicine, your skill will be superior to his. As long as you don't act stupid, he can't hurt you.
He himself has gotten to where he is today by playing with people's hearts and minds. His strength is not considered tyrannical, so just be careful and watch out.
At his current level, we can't kill him. Just like the jar before, we can only wait for him to die of old age, or use the power of nature.
"Then I won't go in. There will definitely be troubles if I go in." Song Xi curled her lips. Based on her experience in reading novels, it would be abnormal if nothing happened.
"The protagonist is immortal. You are one of the protagonists anyway, so what are you afraid of? If you don't go, the novel will be finished today." Fox complained.
"Do you still want to stay here for two years?" Continue to be tempting.
"You encourage me to go to such a dangerous place, you can't be a villain, right?" timid Ru ShuXi said alertly.
"The biggest villain is Flying Pig, he arranged it." He took out a bunch of invisibility charms, soft hedgehog armor, golden silkworm clothes, golden sore medicine, blood restoring pill, Qi restoring pill, blue pill, marrow cleansing sutra, and I Ching sutra.
Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon, Sunflower Book.
Um???
"Bring these things with you so that you can feel more at ease." The fox softened his voice, "Actually, these things are secondary. As long as your brain is not broken, others will not be able to do anything to you."
"I just don't have much confidence in my brain." Song Xi almost cried.
"Just think of it as a bit of exercise. Even the benefits given to the man in red are so lighthearted. What are you afraid of? Show off your courage as a middle-aged woman who is not afraid of anything."
"No, I'm only sixteen now, not an adult yet."
The fox couldn't bear it any longer, so he called out the secret door and threw her in.
"Throw me a few more bags of cat food~~~" ten words came from far away from the gate.
Sitting on a pile of cat food, Song Xi slowly adapted to the darkness in front of her.
It was dark this time when we came in, and it was still the same valley as before.
It has been about half a year here, and the weather is actually not late autumn when we left, but spring and April.
Song Xi was secretly glad that it was this cave. She planned not to step out of the cave until she had completely digested the pill.
Leave one bag of cat food and put the rest in the space.
She began to meditate to absorb the power of the medicine.
I don't know how long time passed. When the last trace of the medicine was absorbed, Song Xi opened his eyes.
It was also night, but she could see clearly now. Every plant and tree outside the cave was as visible as daylight, except that the colors were not as bright.
You can even see the nearly ripe peaches on the peach tree in front of the small bamboo house clearly.
In the pond in the distance, there were frogs croaking and fish swimming at the bottom of the pond. Song Xi could see them all clearly.
To be precise, it was the feeling. The entire valley was within her touch range.
It was as if the valley was her and she was the valley, and the two merged into one.
In fact, she could reach a farther distance, but she was afraid of alerting the capable animals.
After checking around and seeing that no other cultivating animals were found in the valley, she breathed a sigh of relief.
