Chapter 7 Bamboo Forest

Chen Yao walked quickly to the tree, but saw the man squatting on the ground, holding a branch in his hand, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Half Immortal," Chen Yao called out, startling Xu Xiaoxian, stood up quickly, hid his hands behind his back, stepped on the soil with his feet, but did not hide his nervousness at all, it was all in Chen Yao's eyes.

Chen Yao looked up at the sky and asked, "Banxian, what are you doing here so early?"

"No, nothing," Xu Xiaoxian stammered. Chen Yao was more sure that he was hiding something, so he wanted to see what was hidden behind him. Xu Xiaoxian quickly opened his arms to block Chen Yao from approaching, and suddenly rolled his eyes Said: "Oh, Mr. Chen, who is not in a hurry, pickle things, don't dirty your eyes."

Hearing what he said, Chen Yao really smelled something bad, and frowned. Although he didn't believe Xu Xiaoxian's words, he really didn't want to go any further. He shook his sleeves, turned his back, and said : "Since Banxian is in a hurry, I won't bother you. It's almost dawn, and please hurry up today."

Xu Xiaoxian wished that the young master would go back to the temple quickly, bowed to Chen Yao again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, after Xiaoxian handles these urgent matters, I will definitely miss the young master's schedule."

When Chen Yao returned to the mountain temple, the little goddess had already woken up and was sitting on the haystack stretching. Chen Yao walked over, returned the Tao Xun to the little goddess, and asked her how she slept last night.

The little goddess reached out to take Tao Xun, carefully hid it in her bosom, raised her head and said to Chen Yao, "I should ask you this. A young man like you must be uncomfortable sleeping in this kind of place overnight."

Chen Yao smiled and said, "What makes you feel uncomfortable depends on your state of mind, not on your environment."

"So, you're in a good mood? Hey, I fell asleep yesterday and didn't even eat dinner. Did you and Banxian eat something good?" The little goddess leaned against Chen Yao, with her little nose in front of him. There was a serious smell on the sleeve.

"Little Goddess, don't be like a dog," Xu Xiaoxian walked in from the outside, gently pushing the little Goddess's forehead with one hand, and holding a green "brick" in the other hand, with faint leaves floating on it. fragrant.

"Ah, Banxian, what is that in your hand? It smells so good!" The little goddess immediately left Chen Yao behind and ran to Xu Xiaoxian's side to get the fragrant "brick".

Xu Xiaoxian stretched out his hand to block her, and said, "Wait a minute, Grandpa Mountain God hasn't eaten yet."

The little goddess didn't feel awkward when she heard this, she just watched Xu Xiaoxian put the green lump on the table in front of the mountain god, and respectfully kowtowed three times.

After Xu Xiaoxian finished worshiping, the little goddess immediately ran up to help him stand up, but kept her eyes fixed on the "incense brick" on the table, Xu Xiaoxian smiled, stood up, and said: "Okay, don't be courteous to me. , Grandpa Shanshen has finished eating, you can eat it."

"The little goddess thanked Grandpa Mountain God," the little goddess followed Xu Xiaoxian since she was a child, and even if she didn't understand, she still learned a few words. Three or four layers of the outer "green clothes" were peeled off, and it turned out to be a roasted pigeon. The little goddess lowered her head and smelled it. Apart from the outer layer of fragrance of leaves, there seemed to be a strange fresh fragrance in the round belly of the pigeon.

The little goddess wiped her hands on her waist, carefully tore off the strips of meat from the pigeon's belly, stuffed it into her mouth, and looked into the belly. Before the meat in her mouth was swallowed, she grumbled. Get up: "Oh my god, matsutake! Half fairy, half fairy, where did you find it?"

Chen Yao also looked down, and saw two or three fleshy mushroom flowers stuffed into the pigeon's small stomach, which really were matsutake.

"Are matsutakes available in this season?" Chen Yao frowned. Matsutakes are usually found in autumn, and this is still midsummer. Besides, Nanyuan is hot and humid, which is not suitable for the growth of matsutakes. How could Xu Xiaoxian find this kind of mushrooms? Precious bacteria?

"It's raining all the time these days, so those mushrooms should grow out, so the little goddess is blessed," Xu Xiaoxian explained, tearing off a wing of the "beggar pigeon" and throwing it into his mouth. He started to eat, and he still didn't forget to greet Chen Yao: "Mr. Chen, you are welcome, how about trying Xiaoxian's craftsmanship."

Chen Yao frowned, thinking of the oriole at home that came and went freely all the year round, looking at the roasted pigeon that was delicious in color and fragrance, he couldn't whet his appetite no matter what, waved his hand, turned around and walked outside the hall, staring at it. Not seeing is pure.

The little goddess looked at his back, and asked while eating: "Half Immortal, what's wrong with him?"

"A full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. Leave him alone, let's eat our own." Xu Xiaoxian snorted softly, without looking at Chen Yao, and urged the little goddess to eat quickly, and had to hurry on her way.

"Banxian, you said before that Grandpa Mountain God was angry, is he all right now?"

"Grandpa Mountain God is not angry with us."

"What do you mean?"

"There are unclean things in the mountains. Let's clean them up for Grandpa the Mountain God in a while."

The little goddess babbled and ate the last matsutake, as if she was thinking about something, she didn't speak any more, she sucked her fingers in her mouth all over, probably she didn't eat enough.Xu Xiaoxian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and pulled it over the hand of the little goddess to wipe it carefully, turned over the other side of the handkerchief, folded it into a small piece, and wiped the girl's face.

"Bah bah, don't wipe it for me, I'll find water to wash myself," the little goddess stuck out her tongue when he made her uncomfortable, and ran away while he wasn't paying attention. Xu Xiaoxian shook her head with a smile, and wiped her hands , bent down to pick up the leaves and bones thrown by the little goddess, packed them up, and bowed respectfully to the mountain god.

"Xiaoxian's actions are more than auspicious, and I ask the mountain god to protect me more."

Chen Yao led the horse and stood outside the temple, while the little goddess sat on the horse's back and blew the Tao Xun, still unable to make a tune.

Xu Xiaoxian looked at the horse and said: "Young Master Chen, let this beast go back, follow us this journey, I'm afraid it will only hurt it."

The little goddess jumped off the horse, followed behind Xu Xiaoxian, and put Tao Xun back into her arms.

Chen Yao originally wanted to take Xu Xiaoxian to get closer to the little goddess, but Xu Xiaoxian was only delaying his trip all the way, and now he wants to send the horse back, so why should he go to the north of the city?

"Banxian, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just that I am concerned about the safety of my companions, and I hope that Banxian can understand."

Xu Xiaoxian glanced at him, reached out and touched the horse's mane, took off the oiled paper umbrella behind him, handed it to Chen Yao, and said, "If Mr. Chen insists on doing this, Xiaoxian will not stop him. Please accept it, you may be able to solve your problem at a critical moment."

Chen Yao hesitated, but still took the umbrella. After a night of wind, the handle of the bamboo umbrella became a little cold.

He didn't want to abandon them, he just wanted their journey to be faster, but Xu Xiaoxian handed the umbrella to him like this, as if he was going to abandon them.

"That's all," Chen Yao sighed, reached out and took off the bit from the horse's mouth, patted the horse's back, and told it to go down the mountain by itself.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to go with us?" The little goddess clapped her hands happily when she saw him driving the horse down the mountain.

Xu Xiaoxian also smiled and said: "We are going with Mr. Chen."

Chen Yao held the oil-paper umbrella and wanted to give it back to Xu Xiaoxian, but Xu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "Xiaoxian don't want to return what you give away."

"I don't know what Banxian said, what does it mean to solve my problem? Can you explain it clearly?"

"No." Xu Xiaoxian refused very simply, without any extra words, but Chen Yao didn't know how to continue, and the little goddess whispered next to him: "Mr. retribution."

Chen Yao carried the oil-paper umbrella behind his back and walked in front. The road down the mountain was not very easy. It must have rained yesterday, and the mountains and forests were very foggy. The three of them walked to a bamboo forest. It is extraordinarily dense, and the tall bamboo seems to be able to go straight to the heavenly palace. You can't even see the shadow of the sun when you look up. The bamboo leaves are densely packed, and only scattered light and shadow fall to the ground.

Ever since he entered the bamboo forest, Chen Yao felt a sense of uneasiness. Although it was broad daylight, the bamboo forest was as quiet as death.

The little goddess grabbed Xu Xiaoxian's sleeves and stayed close to him, watching the surrounding bamboos vigilantly.

They walked for a while, and Chen Yao suddenly reached out to stop the two people behind him, and the little goddess immediately asked, "What's the matter? What's coming?"

Chen Yao signaled her to be quiet, and listened attentively to the sounds in the bamboo forest. A sword shadow pierced from behind them. Open this sword.

Chen Yao couldn't see the person who stabbed the sword clearly, but he saw that figure turned somersault very deftly, jumped onto a bamboo in two or three steps, and stabbed them with the sword again by the force of the bamboo's rebound.

If Chen Yao was alone, it would be really easy to avoid this sword. Now there are two people behind him, one of whom has no skill at all. If he wants to dodge, this sword will definitely hurt one of them.

"Master Chen, umbrella!" Xu Xiaoxian reminded.

Although Chen Yao didn't quite understand, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment. He held the handle of the umbrella with his backhand and pulled it forward. With a clang, a few sparks jumped out in the dimness. It hurt, but it also made him see clearly that what he was holding in his hand was actually a long sword.

"Mr. Chen, I will leave this place to you. Xiaoxian and the little goddess will leave first." Xu Xiaoxian lightly took the oil-paper umbrella behind Chen Yao, and pulled the little goddess with one hand, like two little mice seeing an old cat, They quickly slipped behind a big bamboo and put the oil-paper umbrella in front of them. The two of them just hid from a distance and watched the fight between Chen Yao and the man in black.

Although Chen Yao had a weapon in his hand, he was unfamiliar with it. He was forced by the opponent to scurry around and hide. If he couldn't avoid it, he followed it abruptly. After several times, his hands were sore from the force of the sword. Fortunately, he practiced his sword skills diligently on weekdays, so he would not be hurt by the opponent.

Xu Xiaoxian and the little goddess watched anxiously, discussing how to help Chen Yao.

The little goddess touched the stones on the ground, held them in front of her eyes, and exchanged a glance with Xu Xiaoxian, the two thought of going together tacitly, bent over the ground and grabbed a bunch of small stones and put them in her arms, then they faced each other After counting, he threw all the pebbles in the direction of the man in black.

Chen Yao was wrestling with the man in black, when he suddenly saw a pile of stones thrown towards them, he retreated quickly, still got a few stones on his shoulder, and naturally the man in black also suffered.

When Chen Yao jumped away, he saw that the man in black seemed to have been hit on the head by a stone, and then he used the sword in his hand to break the stone open.

The little goddess shouted: "Big villain, hurry up and get out, be careful to get another 'goddess scattered flowers', you can't eat it and walk around!"

Chen Yao frowned, thinking why this half-immortal didn't drag the little goddess, if the other party got serious about such nonsense, then I don't know who can't eat it and walk away!

He couldn't care less, he couldn't let the man in black be distracted from dealing with the other two people, so he raised his sword and slashed at the man in black, and the two made a few more moves, flying back and forth between the bamboo forests.

What Chen Yao didn't expect was that while they were concentrating on dismantling each other's sword moves, the other two onlookers were not idle and were always throwing stones at them. It's really too bad, it's just throwing it indiscriminately, not only the man in black has to be distracted to avoid the stones, even Chen Yao himself got a few stones inexplicably.

"Hey!" Chen Yao and the man in black yelled at Xu Xiaoxian and the others unbearably.

The man in black glanced at Chen Yao, and Chen Yao glared back at him, but that didn't weaken Xiao Shizi's attack. Chen Yao thought, he might as well avoid it first, the two just wanted to drive the man in black away. Run, I don't have to suffer this.

Thinking about it, exerting force on his feet, he was about to jump away from the scene, but he heard a whoosh, something brushed the air and shot straight at the direction of Xu Xiaoxian and the little goddess. He heard Xu Xiaoxian yell "Ah".

"Half Immortal!" Chen Yao wanted to chase after him, but the man in black came to block his way again, so he had no choice but to continue fighting with the man in black, but he didn't know what happened to Ban Immortal. It was a rain of stones, and this time the attack was more violent, probably because the little goddess was really angry, and every stone had gathered enough strength, even he couldn't bear it, and while blocking it with a sword, she jumped away quickly.

The man in black was hit a few times, and he groaned in pain. Just about to fight back, he heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on leaves, and immediately jumped into the bamboo forest and disappeared.

Seeing that the man in black had already run away, Xu Xiaoxian heaved a sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped his forehead with his sleeve, the pain made him gasp, the stones thrown by ordinary people hurt his body, but the stone just now But it was hit with internal force, I don't know if it was his bad luck, or the stone was just aimed at him, and it just hit the forehead. In addition to the burning pain, he also felt a little dizzy, and he was afraid that the little goddess would worry, So he pretended to be angry and directed the little goddess to throw stones to "revenge" him.

Chen Yao jumped in front of them with a sword in hand, and stretched out his hand to support Xu Xiaoxian. As soon as Xu Xiaoxian stood up, his eyes went dark, and he subconsciously grabbed Chen Yao's arm beside him, and then he stood still.

After he regained his composure, he let go of his hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been squatting on the ground for a long time, and my feet are weak, Mr. Chen is not hurt, is it?"

"I should ask this question," Chen Yao reached out and grabbed Xu Xiaoxian's wrist, his fingertips gently caught his pulse, but he broke away. Chen Yao felt that Xu Xiaoxian was seriously injured, and wanted to ask a few more questions In a word, the sound of horseshoes that scared the man in black just now stopped behind him.

He turned around and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Two proud steeds raised their forelegs, and two boys in hunting costumes jumped off the horses. One walked up to Chen Yao, while the other didn't even look at Chen Yao, and walked past him quickly. Go to Xu Xiaoxian and the little goddess.

Seeing an acquaintance, Xu Xiaoxian was not very happy. He felt that he was sweating from head to toe. He didn't want so many people to see him in such a mess, so he clenched his fists, held back his breath, and said with a smile: " Mr. Song, why did you come to this mountain to hunt with Mr. Lin? This place is a bit far from the Mr. Mansion."

Song Yusheng was tall and tall, with a high bun on the top of his head, and a thick linen belt to protect his forehead, which gave people a rough impression, but this Mr. Song's mind was not rough at all, and he could see it at a glance Noticing Xu Xiaoxian's discomfort, and guessing the half-immortal's self-esteem, he carelessly grabbed Xu Xiaoxian's shoulder and said, "Xiaoxian is here too, it's fate, my house is haunted again, you have to help me this time." Clean up clean up."

Xu Xiaoxian was grabbed by him like this, and he almost couldn't stand still. It happened that Song Yu supported his shoulder like this, so he didn't fall down.

Xu Xiaoxian was grateful for the kindness of Mr. Song, but he didn't like being protected like this. He gently pushed away the hand that was on his shoulder, and dug in his sleeve, and found a yellow triangular amulet between his index finger and middle finger. Handed it to Song Yu and said: "Mr. Song, Xiaoxian has just experienced a fierce fight and is in a bad mood. Please accept this peace talisman. Ordinary ghosts will not dare to approach it. After a while, if there are still people in the house The little ghost caused trouble, but Feige sent a message, and Xiaoxian made an appointment to go to the mansion to drive the ghost out of the son's house."

After finishing speaking, before Song Yu could speak, he turned around, bowed to Chen Yao and Lin Dao, and said, "Mr. Chen, since Mr. Lin has been found, please come back quickly. Don't miss the business, this trip is over." Obstacles, Xiaoxian and Goddess have other important matters, so I won't bother Young Master Chen and the two young masters, there will be a later date."

Xu Xiaoxian was talking, and grabbed the hand of the little goddess, the little goddess understood, stretched out her hand to support Xu Xiaoxian, tapped her toes, jumped into the forest, and disappeared in an instant.

"Half Immortal!"

Song Yu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Chen Yao, saying, "Since Mr. Song has obtained the talisman, why bother to chase after him?"

"Chen Yao, didn't you see that Xiaoxian was injured? What if..."

"What can you do after you catch up?" Chen Yao looked at him coldly, and bent over to pick up the oil-paper umbrella that Xu Xiaoxian had left on the ground. There were a few red bloodstains on the plain blue umbrella, like plum blossoms in snow. Like, but one after another stimulated his eyes.

He inserted the long sword back into the umbrella handle. The tip of the long sword was originally in the shape of an awl. With a click, the long sword was firmly buckled into the umbrella handle. It took a little effort to pull it out.

If Xu Xiaoxian hadn't deliberately reminded him, how could he have discovered such a mystery hidden in this umbrella. He turned the umbrella in his hand, and suddenly remembered the lottery that Xu Xiaoxian drew that day, so he couldn't help but clenched the umbrella tightly.

Is it difficult to travel... or there is a death kalpa... a death kalpa?

"That's not my lottery!" Thinking of this, Chen Yao put away his umbrella, took a step forward and grabbed the rope behind Lin Dao, jumped onto the horse's back, pinched his legs, and the steed immediately raised its front hooves, He ran towards the bamboo forest.

"Hey! Chen Yao! What are you doing!" Lin Dao hadn't figured out who the man and woman were just now, let alone why Song Yu and Chen Yao knew them, and they were called little immortals and half immortals. In Lin Dao's vague In memory, Banxian was still a little old man.

Song Yu watched Chen Yao ride away, thinking that Xu Xiaoxian must be in some danger, and wanted to follow immediately, but Lin Dao didn't want to be thrown in the bamboo forest, so he grabbed Song Yu's horse rope first, and said, "I don't I know what's going on with you, but if someone is injured, there is no one here who is more suitable than Chen Yao to chase them."

Song Yu opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say.

When it comes to curing diseases and saving lives, in Nanyuan, no one dares to compete with the Chen family.
