"Xiao Cai, Xiao Cai, wake up."

"Hmm..." Ji Xiaocai opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Gu Tailai's face very close to him, "Daoist..." He responded, and then heard that Gu Tailai seemed to relax. He let out a sigh of relief.

"It's dawn, it's time to get up."

Ji Xiaocai turned her head suspiciously, the autumn sun came in from the window, it was quiet and clear, from the looks of it, at least it had passed.

Ji Xiaocai's skin burned up all of a sudden, and she quickly got up: "I'm sorry, Daoist, I overslept again! Daoist, did you use it earlier? I'll make it for you now!" Putting on his coat, he was about to go out, but Gu Tailai held him down, took the clothes in his hands and put them on in an orderly manner, and then came to tie his belt.

Ji Xiaocai stammered: "Dao... Daoist, I can do it myself, it's not... not good."

Gu Tailai pulled his clothes carefully for him, straightened his waist, and touched Ji Xiaocai's face: "I just want to touch you."

"Master..."

"Touch you to know you're awake, that's all."

Ji Xiaocai looked at him, the sun shone on Gu Tailai's face, that face was sharp and angular, yet soft in the sunlight.Ji Xiaocai recalled that day when he woke up from the early morning light and looked up at Gu Tailai's face, unshaven and haggard. Seeing that he woke up, she neither blamed him for his recklessness nor said anything nasty, and it was the same. Gently touched his face and said, "Just wake up."

Just wake up, Gu Tailai looked as if nothing had happened, but afterwards Zhou Zhaoji called Ji Xiaocai to the side and scolded her!

Ji Xiaocai always thought that Zhou Zhaoji was a joking and unscrupulous person, but his attitude was extremely fierce that day. Not only did he show no mercy to Ji Xiaocai, but even Ji Lanye was scolded together for trying to stop him.At the end, Zhou Zhaoji said: "Remember to weigh yourself first before doing anything in the future, if you fucking wake up later, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop that madman of my senior brother!"

Although he didn't say it clearly, judging from Zhou Zhaoji's appearance, Gu Tailai must have done something very bad, so that when the few people left Yinsuo Village, none of them went out to see him off, just like sending off the plague god Not even a single ghost was seen in the entire village.It was also from that day on that every time Ji Xiaocai woke up, she could see Gu Tailai sitting beside his bed and looking at him, and would only breathe a sigh of relief when he woke up.Although Ji Lanye had always hated Gu Tailai approaching him, it seemed that he had a lot on his mind these days and didn't try to stop him.

Thinking back now, Ji Xiaocai actually didn't know what happened in the God's Residence at that time, he just remembered that what happened in front of him made him hate himself for being unable to help anyone, and following the heat wave in his chest, suddenly With the soaring demon power, he did those shocking things in a daze, saving Jinzi, Tao Duo, and Naji, and finally passed out inexplicably, and only woke up after sleeping for a day and two nights. After waking up, the sudden demonic power disappeared, and he turned back into the not-so-powerful little pheasant spirit.Sometimes looking back at the past, he would even suspect that he had just had a dream, but it was definitely not a dream!

"Little Cai."

"Um?"

"How is your body?" Gu Tailai took his pulse with one hand, "Is there any discomfort?"

Ji Xiaocai shook her head, and answered honestly: "No, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I always feel tired and want to sleep. Maybe it's because I used too much demon power at that time. It should be fine after a while."

Gu Tailai frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I'll try some more medicines, and if there's anything wrong, let me know."

Ji Xiaocai nodded, and muttered: "Master Dao, I'm sorry, I made you worry again this time. I didn't know that things would turn out like this, and I won't mess around in the future. Really, Master Dao, I... I want to be with you forever, so I won't do stupid things anymore..."

Gu Tai looked at him for a while, and said with a straight face: "It's good to know. Go, wash up and come over to eat. Your elder brother and Zhou Zhaoji have gone out. I will take you out for a stroll later." Ji Xiaocai quickly agreed With a sound, he ran to wash up in a hurry.

The four of Ji Xiaocai arrived last night in a small town called Shiniu Town near Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu Prefecture. This town is on the bank of the inland river, and it is Gu Tailai's hometown.Gu Tailai was an orphan since he was a child. He was picked up in a basket in the inland river. He ate a hundred meals until he was four years old. His master Kong Kongzi picked him up to Mount Qingcheng. From then on, he practiced Taoism on the mountain. magic.This time, it has been several years since he came back last time, and now they are borrowing the house of the neighbors in the past.

Ji Xiaocai and Gu Tailai went out early, people were leisurely everywhere in the small streets.Chengdu is known as the Mansion of Heaven, with fertile fields and rich soil, full of autumn harvests, all of which benefit from the clear inland water that irrigates the farmland, and the origin of the name of Shiniu Town is that it was in Qifengwo when Li Bing ruled the Minjiang River and built the Dujiangyan. The buried stone cow.

Next to the small town, the inland river flows clear and swirls slightly. Some women are moving stools to do some needlework at the door. Seeing Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai, they warmly greeted each other.Ji Xiaocai recognized one of them as the sister-in-law who entertained them last night. Gu Tailai called her Sixth Sister-in-law, and Gu Tailai seemed to know the others quite well.Aunt Li smiled when she saw Gu Tailai: "Xiao Gu is so outstanding after so many years! Hey, it's a pity that my family's Yu'er is not blessed, and I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry you!"

Gu Tailai only smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Li was joking, I can't say it as well as you do."

Another woman said: "The young man next to him is also a good-looking talent. Have you married a wife? Would you like your sister-in-law to tell you about your relatives?"

Ji Xiaocai hurriedly bowed her head in a serious manner and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your love, but Xiaosheng has already made a marriage arrangement." The group of women all uttered regretful cries, and went back to doing their own work.Ji Xiaocai raised her head to look at Gu Tailai, and saw that Gu Tailai was also looking at him, her slightly narrowed eyes were full of smiles, and she couldn't help but blush.

Because the two of them can't be too intimate on the street, Gu Tailai just walked side by side with Ji Xiaocai, telling him some old things.Where did the family marry a daughter-in-law in the early years, and ended up killing a little yellow wolf because of it, and where did they once plant a whole yard of magnolia flowers, but now they are gone.Chatting and chatting, they came to the mouth of the treasure bottle.Looking down from the gazebo on the top of the cliff, you can see the river rolling from the sky, the turbulence is endless, the birds are flying high and low, and the sound of chirping is clear and crisp, which seems to mean that the sky is high and the sea is vast.

The human way of "Qingcheng Tianxiayou", as one of the holy mountains of Taoism, is full of aura near here, and Ji Xiaocai feels physically and mentally comfortable as soon as she comes here, and every part of her body seems to have a sense of comfort soaked in spiritual energy.He leaned over and looked down, the river slapped the cliff, stirring up a few waves, and there seemed to be countless legends hidden under the deep river.

During the Qin Dynasty, Li Bing, the governor of Shu County, spent more than ten years building this water conservancy facility that would benefit all generations. There is also another legend mixed in. It is said that Li Bing encountered many difficulties in digging Yulei Mountain and repairing the King Kong Embankment when he first ruled the Minjiang River. Not only the wind and rain, but also the bad weather, the torrential rain for several months, and many evil signs appeared.

In human nature, the mountains, rivers, and waters of the world are the dragon veins. The dragon veins of the Central Plains all come from the fairy mountain Kunlun, so Kunlun Mountain is also known as the ancestral dragon. Kunlun Mountain winds westward and is divided into three parts. The Minjiang River flows out of Minshan Mountain.

It is rumored that there is an evil dragon in the Minjiang River. Because of this dragon, the Minjiang River flooded all the year round. Before the completion of Dujiangyan, the area around Chengdu was called a bad place.Li Bing wants to build Dujiangyan to control the Minjiang River, which is tantamount to provoking the power of the evil dragon, so he encountered many difficulties at the beginning of the project.Li Bing suffered from this and was at a loss what to do, until one day a scholar came to his door and showed him how to do it.After that, according to Li Bing's words, he locked the dragon's throat and built the Fulong Terrace to keep the evil dragon in the deep pool of Lidui, so that he could start work on water control.This is just a kind of folklore. There is another saying that Li Bing was originally a fairy who came down to earth. His son has vertical eyes and is called Erlang. He is the god of Erlang in the sky. thing.

There are different opinions about the truth. A monster like Ji Xiaocai has only lived for 500 years. Looking at the surging river, compared with people, she is curious and a little scared.Dragon is the god of ancient times. Although there are dragon clans today, he has seen Liu Yifeng and Dragon Yin, but it is said that compared with ancient Yinglong and the like, today's dragon clan is no longer the same kind.

Ji Xiaocai was looking at the river water in a daze, and suddenly felt a black shadow floating under the water.At first, it was just a reef, but the black shadow seemed to be moving slowly. Ji Xiaocai guessed it was driftwood or some big fish, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt wrong. The black shadow was huge. Moving south, after half a stick of incense, there was no head or tail. Ji Xiaocai looked at her and felt her legs soften for no reason. She grabbed Gu Tailai's sleeve and called, "Dao... Daoist..."

Gu Tailai didn't know why.He just called: "Master Dao, there are... there are..." in the water, but he couldn't make it clear.

Seeing his strange appearance, Gu Tailai also bent down to look down, and after looking at him for a while, he wondered, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaocai swallowed her saliva: "Master Dao, that black shadow, there is a black shadow in the water..."

Gu Tailai looked at it for a while, and pulled Ji Xiaocai away from the railing resolutely, took out some spell from his bosom, ignited it in the air, and drew an evil charm on his seal, saying: "Don't look, it's probably not good thing."

Ji Xiaocai tremblingly said "um", she didn't understand why she was so frightened just by seeing a black shadow with no head and no tail. go.The two walked to the bottom of the mountain, and saw several villagers gathered around the beach talking about something, and they were a little puzzled on all sides.

Gu Tai took a look and said to Ji Xiaocai, "Wait for me here, I'll go over and ask."

Ji Xiaocai reluctantly let go of Gu Tailai's sleeve, and obediently agreed.Gu Tailai ran to chat with those villagers for a few words, and then came back with a stern expression and a little confusion.

Ji Xiaocai asked him, "What's wrong?"

Gu Tailai only said: "Someone fished some strange things up."

Ji Xiaocai asked, "What is it?"

At this moment, Gu Tailai shook his head: "It's hard to say, it's incomplete, it looks like something carved in stone, with some strange aura, maybe what you saw just now is also this thing."

Ji Xiaocai responded in a low voice, and said, "It has nothing to do with us, so don't...don't care about it."

Gu Tailai touched his face: "Are you tired, let's go back, your eldest brother and the others may have come back too, after dinner, let's go to Qingcheng Mountain to find my master."

When the two returned to their place of residence, they saw Zhou Zhaoji coming out of the back room covering his face.There was a big slap mark on his face, bright red, he was not embarrassed to see them, and said: "Xiao Cai, your elder brother is going back, go and say goodbye to him."

Just as he was talking, he heard Ji Lanye's voice in the room saying coldly: "Xiao Cai, come in."

Ji Xiaocai looked at Gu Tailai, puffed out her chest and said, "Okay, brother, I'm here."

When Ji Xiaocai entered the room, she saw Ji Lanye busy packing her bags.He didn't bring many things with him, and if he used the fairy method, he could tidy them up with the snap of his fingers, but now he gave up the cheap way and did it himself. It can only be said that Ji Lan had something on his mind.

Ji Xiaocai greeted his elder brother and obediently sat aside, watching Ji Lanye busy by the bed.He knew his elder brother's temperament, so he didn't help at this time, but just waited quietly, thinking about what Ji Lanye might say to him.Sure enough, after a while, Ji Lanye seemed to have tidied up and made up his mind, so he stopped, poured himself a glass of water, sat down, and seemed to speak.

Ji Xiaocai also had some calculations in her heart, thinking that if his elder brother wanted to mention the matter with Gu Tailai to him, she would have to put her attitude straight no matter what, and would never back down, but Xiong Jiu looked up and just looked at it His eldest brother was taken aback at one glance, and blurted out: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Lanye didn't know why, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaocai pointed to the corner of her mouth: "Brother, you...you are broken here."

He didn't mean anything when he said this, but Ji Lanye listened with intention, his expression changed immediately, he coughed a few times, and said uncomfortably: "No... nothing, I bumped into... bumped into... the table... the table My feet are scratched, it’s not a big deal.” Finally, he covered his mouth with his hand and said, “Obviously?”

Ji Lanye acted guilty, but Ji Xiaocai was used to believing his elder brother's letter, so she just said "Oh" and said, "It's okay, it's just a little swollen, elder brother remembers to take medicine later."

Ji Lanye cursed something in a low voice, and simply raised his hand to wipe away the traces with fairy art, cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Cai."

Ji Xiaocai knew that she was here, so she collected herself and replied solemnly, "Yes, big brother."

Ji Lanye also knew his younger brother's temperament, so he straightened it out and said: "We two brothers haven't seen each other in 230. Originally, the elder brother wanted to stay with you for a while, but something happened in the heaven, and I have to go back to deal with it as soon as possible. ..."

Ji Xiaocai nodded sensibly: "Business matters." She asked again, "Is it serious?"

However, Ji Lanye's eyes flickered slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Xiao Cai, you know that brother doesn't want you to be with that poor Taoist..."

Ji Xiaocai cut off his words and said, "Brother, the Taoist priest has a name." Although the voice was soft, the tone was strong, and the meaning of protection was self-evident.

Hearing Ji Xiaocai's words, Ji Lanye knew that his calculations today would come to nothing, but he still asked without giving up: "Xiao Cai, are you going back with Big Brother?"

Sure enough, Ji Xiaocai replied decisively: "I'm sorry, brother, I want to be with the Taoist priest!"

Ji Lanye sighed: "Xiao Cai, you are still young, and it's your first time going down the mountain. I think that the ancient city of Tailai is quite deep, and he is not a simple person. You must have been deceived by him..."

Ji Xiaocai shook her head: "No, big brother. Daoist has never lied to me. I liked him first, and I was the first to propose to be with Daoist. I took the initiative from the beginning to the end, although I now I'm not good enough for him yet, but the Taoist priest has promised to wait for me, and when I become powerful, I can be with the Taoist priest forever!"

Ji Lanye was so choked by his younger brother that he couldn't speak for a long time, and it took him a while to recover. He stood up and sat down again, and said impatiently, "Xiao Cai, what do you like about him? He is a man, poor, or a mortal!"

Ji Xiaocai really thought about it, but she didn't know what she thought of. The corners of her mouth gradually turned up, and her face was full of vivid expressions. He said, "Brother, the Taoist priest also asked me this. I said at that time that because he is a good person, Dao Long said that there are many good people in this world, but I like him, so I can’t tell, anyway, I think he is different from everyone else!”

Ji Lanye was almost driven mad by Ji Xiaocai, he just said: "Xiao Cai, I won't say anything else, do you know that there is something wrong with this person?"

Ji Xiaocai asked suspiciously, "What's the problem?"

Ji Lanye said: "He is not an ordinary Taoist priest. Didn't you notice that he has a heavy death energy? That's what happens to people who have killed tens of thousands of people!"

Ji Xiaocai shook her head: "Brother, I don't know what you said, I didn't find out. The Taoist priest is only 25 years old, how could he have done such a thing?"

"What if it was done in a previous life?"

"Since it is the previous life, what does it have to do with the Taoist priest in this life?"

Ji Lanye seemed to be a little shaken, his complexion changed a few times, and then he said: "Xiao Cai, is it true that you won't be with Gu Tailai as long as the elder brother proves that Gu Tailai is not a good person from the beginning to the end?" Ji Xiaocai didn't have time to answer , Ji Lanye stood up, walked a few steps in the room and said, "I didn't want to tell you, there are many mysteries about Gu Tailai, my brother has been investigating him for a while, and the more I investigate, the more I feel... ..."

Ji Xiaocai's delicate brows couldn't help but frown: "Brother, you actually found out the Taoist chief!"

Ji Lanye waved his hand: "Don't be so busy getting angry, if it's found out to be nothing serious, wouldn't it be a good thing for each other to rest assured?" He saw Ji Xiaocai bowed his head in silence, and said, "To be honest, it's okay for big brother to go back this time. It has something to do with him, if there is no accident, what the elder brother wants to investigate will soon be revealed!"

Ji Xiaocai said stubbornly: "No matter what, I will be with the Taoist priest, I promise the Taoist priest!"

"Even if he's not a good guy?"

"Daozhang, he can't be a bad person!"

Ji Lanye looked at Ji Xiaocai, who was only half a head taller than himself, and looked at his stubborn eyes. He suddenly had doubts about whether what he was doing was right. He couldn't help but think of these few days What Zhou Zhaoji said before him, Zhou Zhaoji said "Xiao Ye, Xiaocaiji is a man now, I don't think you can interfere too much in his affairs", Zhou Zhaoji also said "Xiao Ye, if you investigate some things, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away ".

Shit can't get away!Ji Lanye scolded inwardly, he doesn't care about his younger brother's affairs, who else will defend him, if one day Ji Xiaocai suffers from Gu Tailai, as a brother, why don't he hate himself to death Inaction that day?Regret is useless, the only way is to investigate everything thoroughly and hold it in your hands. For Ji Xiaocai's future, he can't just let him and Gu Tailai go on like this no matter what!

Thinking of this, the question that had been repeatedly rolled over in his heart appeared again, Ji Lanye hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help but said: "Xiao Cai, if you don't want to go back with big brother this time, big brother won't force you ..."

Ji Xiaocai was on the verge of getting ready to attack, and she was slightly relieved when she heard what Ji Lanye said. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel that her attitude towards her elder brother just now was too much, and she murmured: "Brother, I'm sorry ..."

Ji Lanye reached out and touched his head, and said sincerely, "Xiao Cai, you have indeed grown up."

Ji Xiaocai gave a low "hmm" and said embarrassedly: "Brother, I am not young at all, and after a while, I will be five hundred and one years old!"

Ji Lanye repeated in a low voice: "Yes, five hundred and one years old, it's really not young." There was something intriguing in the words.

Ji Xiaocai hurriedly said: "So I have to work hard to become a big monster as soon as possible, so as not to lose the face of my mother, elder brothers and sisters!"

Ji Lanye suddenly said seriously: "Xiao Cai, brother asked you something, you have to answer honestly."

Ji Xiaocai was stunned by the seriousness in his elder brother's words, and nodded: "Brother, tell me."

Ji Lanye's face turned red now, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "You and that Tao...you and Gu Tailai have been together for a long time..."

"Um."

"Did he do... anything strange to you during this time?"

Ji Xiaocai froze for a moment: "Strange thing?"

Ji Lanye frowned, as if he was worried about how to ask, he gestured: "It's that kind of, very...very intimate behavior, most people don't do it to others, only to the closest people..."

Ji Xiaocai still didn't understand, she looked at Ji Lanye stupidly: "What kind of behavior? Will big brother do it to me too?"

Ji Lanye was drinking water, and he spit out a sip of water, coughing: "Brother...cough cough...wouldn't do it to you, that's only...only couples would do it!"

Ji Xiaocai suddenly understood, her whole face turned blood red.

Ji Lanye patted his chest and said, "Something that only husband and wife can do, that's... it's the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou or something..."

Ji Xiaocai wanted to find a hole to drill down, subconsciously repeated: "Duke Zhou Qili...Dun Lun..."

Ji Lanye said, "Yes, that's the one, do you know what it is?"

Ji Xiaocai was almost on fire, shaking her head desperately, her voice was like a gnat: "Xiaocai no... I don't know..."

Ji Lanye may have trusted his younger brother too much. Seeing Ji Xiaocai's reaction at this time, he thought he was thin-skinned, and heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good. Anyway, if that stinky Taoist priest wants to do strange things to you, Don't promise to know?"

Ji Xiaocai didn't even dare to look at her elder brother anymore, she just nodded, "I know... I know."

Ji Lanye wanted to scare him: "If he forces you, you run away, you know? That kind of thing can only be done by men and women, you are all men, you can't do that kind of thing, understand?" The meaning of threat is too strong , I don't even care about the contradictions in my own words.

Ji Xiaocai just lowered her head and said softly, "Yes."

Ji Lanye touched Ji Xiaocai's face: "Xiao Cai, big brother didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose. Big brother loves you the most since childhood. Big brother does everything for your own good, you understand." He sighed, " You were in Shenju at that time..." The words stopped here, as if he himself didn't understand something, and he just said, "In short, this last line must not be crossed, otherwise something big will happen. Promise brother , you must protect yourself, understand?"

Seeing Ji Xiaocai nodded, Ji Lanye felt relieved, looked at the sun and said, "Xiaocai, brother is leaving now, but he will come back to pick you up soon, so be careful, if anything , use the method that elder brother taught you before to contact elder brother."

Ji Xiaocai replied: "Brother, I remember."

Hearing the words, Ji Lanye suddenly turned into a white light, pierced through the window, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.This day was the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month, Ji Xiaocai never expected that the news of his eldest brother was an obituary from heaven!
