I came down, collected the food, and then pulled the rope outside the gate. When the rope was pulled, the bell under the eaves rang.
Then, the door of the house opened, and the old man came out of the house, holding a kerosene lamp and shouted: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Zhang Xiao, uncle, do you still remember me?"
The old man carried the oil lamp to the door, held up the kerosene lamp and said, "It's you, you, how did you get here?"
I waved my hand and said, "You're here, you're exhausted!"
The uncle opened the grate, and as soon as I came in, the uncle held up a kerosene lamp and shined it on my feet and said, "You're here? These shoes don't look like they've been walked for two hundred miles!"
I smiled and said, "I'm hungry and sleepy. Is there anything to eat?"
The uncle took me to the kitchen and gave me two steamed potatoes. I stretched my neck while eating them. The potatoes were too noodles.
The uncle handed me water and suddenly asked: "A lot of people have come here recently, and there are even some missing people here. There must be nothing good going on."
I knew what was going on as soon as I heard this, otherwise I wouldn't have gone into the mountain at this time. I had promised Li Menglai to wait for me here, so why did he just change it?
Li Qu must have come and told Li Meng about the situation in Lincun. After the two of them discussed it, they simply changed their plan. I guess he may have gone into the mountain to win over the Taoist. I won't know for sure when I go into the mountain again.
What happened?
I thought about it and said, "Uncle, is the missing person you mentioned Li Qu?"
The uncle nodded and said: "Do you know this person? This person is a legend in the world and is difficult to deal with! But it seems that he has not been around in the world for hundreds of years and has been missing for hundreds of years. I don't know what he is doing.
"
I smiled and said: "Hundreds of years? How could he live for so long? Uncle, you are kidding me!"
The old man looked at me very seriously and said: "I have been guarding this mountain here for five hundred years, so how old do you think I am? Eat quickly, there are many things in this world that you don't know."
I looked at him in surprise and shouted: "Are you an immortal? Uncle, are you an immortal? Have you become an immortal?"
He sighed, shook his head and said, "What are you shouting for? What kind of immortal am I? I'm just a loose immortal at most. Eat quickly! Why are you opening your mouth so much if you don't eat?"
I took a bite of the potato, held it in my mouth and said, "Uncle, then has Li Qu become an immortal too?"
The uncle shook his head and said: "This man has immortal bones, and he will become an immortal sooner or later. Every patriarch of the Li family has immortal bones."
At this time, the uncle's daughter opened the door curtain and came in and said: "Dad, say what you need to say, but don't say anything you shouldn't. Look, you are back to your old habit of telling people everything. When the time comes, you won't even be able to guard the mountain."
If you can't defend it, what will you do if the higher-ups don't help you?"
The uncle shook his head and said: "What do you know? Zhang Xiao is not an ordinary person. I told Zhang Xiao that nothing will happen to him."
The uncle looked at me and said: "Zhang Xiao, you will become an immortal sooner or later, you are destined to become an immortal!"
I laughed when I heard this: "Uncle, are you kidding me?"
The uncle smiled and said nothing, and the girl said: "Brother Zhang, don't listen to my father's nonsense. I have prepared the guest room for you. After eating, go and have a rest. When you go out, turn right and turn to the third room. I have already lit the lights.
Come on, by the way, turn off the lights when sleeping and pay attention to fire prevention!"
I ate two potatoes and that was enough. At least I could fall asleep. After eating, I got up and went outside to get a bucket of water, washed myself and then went to sleep.
When I woke up early the next morning, I felt the danger of entering the mountain this time, but I had to go. The saints were detained here. I couldn't go back after arriving here!
But with the Taotie, I wasn't particularly worried. The Taotie gave me enough confidence.
After breakfast, I paid and went up the mountain. After leaving the yard, I released Taotie. Then I jumped on Taotie's back. With a finger, Taotie ran directly towards the snow mountain.
It was originally a day's journey, but it took only half a day for You Taotie to arrive. I arrived at the square at noon. When I arrived, I saw more than a dozen cranes walking back and forth on the square. There were many people standing outside the main hall. These people had faces.
Facing outward, standing motionless.
Needless to say, what was being discussed in the hall, I went up the steps step by step, and just when I was halfway there, the door of the hall opened, and I saw the saint walking out of it. Next to the saint were Li Menglai and
Li Qu, these two bastards.
Behind them, Tao Zun stood aside. Beside the leader, there were four people, two men and two women.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, they all have long hair, wear Taoist robes, have red lips and white teeth, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.
The saint saw me first. She stretched out her hand and gestured to the side, then shook her head. I understood that she was telling me to step aside and stop talking, so I stepped aside and stood. Then, these people came down the steps one after another.
When Li Menglai and Li Qu passed by me, they both looked at me with no expression on their faces.
Only Taoist Master whispered when he passed by me: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't say anything or do anything at this time, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
I really couldn't figure it out, thinking what was going on. They were walking in front, and I was following behind.
My mind twitched for some reason and I shouted from behind: "Saint!"
The saint turned back and glared at me, then put her finger on her lips to signal me to silence. What the hell is going on! I don't understand the situation.
When these people arrived at the square, I saw the two men and two women beginning to bid farewell to the Taoist Master.
Dao Zun smiled and retreated to my side and said, "I beg you, don't cause me any trouble. If you have any other matters, wait until these people leave. Do you understand?"
I nodded and said, "What is this for?"
The Taoist Master looked at me and said, "I want to take the saint away. I am here to take the saint back."
I murmured: "Go back to where?"
Tao Zun whispered: "Suzaku Kingdom."
At this time, I saw the saint was about to leave, and suddenly I thought about it. Just when I was about to speak, Taoist Master directly grabbed me and said: "The saint must go with them. You, the saint, do not belong to our mortal world."
Do you understand?"
I didn't care about this, I just threw away the Taoist Master and shouted: "Guys, why do you want to take the saint away?"
The saint walked up to me and said, "What are you doing? Don't make trouble. This is not something you can control."
A young man over there shouted: "Junior sister, who is this person? We are going back."
The saint looked at me and said: "Listen to me, don't say anything anymore, okay? Keep silent!"
I shook my head and said, "No, I have a feeling that if we say goodbye today, we may never see each other again!"
