Chapter 87: Mortals do not know the new moon and full moon, and cicadas do not know spring and autumn...
They dug a grave at the foot of the green hill and buried the beggar and his torn bag in it.
They were all practitioners. Their graves were dug very deep and insect repellent talismans were placed on them to prevent their bodies from being bitten by insects.
No one knows the beggar's name, where he is from, who his teacher is, or why he came here.
The escort Song Gang cut down a tree and erected a stele for him. The scholar Mei Tang took out a pen and wrote four words on the stele:
【A common person】
The Mohist Yin Chan left behind a palm-sized wooden carved dog to accompany him at the tomb.
After doing all this, everyone continued to move towards Qingshan.
In the current Fengzhou, it is hard to see even a clump of weeds, let alone lush green mountains.
Everyone should have felt extremely happy, but the deeper they went, the more weird and uneasy they felt.
In this green mountain, the soil underfoot is soft, as if you will sink into the quagmire at any time. The vines in the woods grow like fingers. The faint wind sings near and far, like crying and laughing, with a strong sense of mockery.
Yin Chan got goosebumps all over her body. Yu Miaoluo and other demon hunters drew their magic swords, and everyone felt a chill down their spines.
Every few steps, everyone turned around to look at the female doctor Li Zhou. Everyone firmly believed that there would not be anyone more terrifying than the genius doctor Tan, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Li Zhou had no idea that others were comforting her in this way. She thought with great pride in her heart that she had played her character so well. Look, these people had already regarded her as the only light in the darkness.
When the half-demon Li Zhou thought about how great he was, a fox tail accidentally rose up behind him.
Tan Yin immediately closed his eyes, afraid of seeing the furry eyelashes on the tail.
Abbot Yuanzhen didn't care about the pollution brought by the eyes on the tail and stared at the fox demon closely. She actually revealed her fox tail. Could it be that the Buddha's lotus began to work?
The unprepared little monk saw such a tail for the first time, rolled his eyes, and fainted without a word.
The half-demon Li Zhou gracefully put away his tail and ate half a piece of lotus cake as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Zhen's eyes were red with anger, and the temperature around her soared again. How come even the Buddha's treasure had no effect on her?
Yuan Zhen stood up and said, "Donor, my temple has another specialty. I hope you can taste it."
Half-demon Li Zhou nodded: "Master Yuan Zhen is too polite... I wonder if this lotus cake is still available? I want to take two pieces home and let my parents have a taste."
Yuan Zhen's face twitched, and the voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "This snack is extremely precious, and I only made this one for now."
"I see."
Li Zhou quickly put down the half-eaten lotus cake and placed it together with the other piece on the plate, intending not to eat it for the time being.
The half-demon vest's parents turned into green mountains. She wanted to see if there was any way to send this piece of tea and a half over.
Yuan Zhen frowned when he saw this. If the little fox was so scary, how terrifying must her parents be? The evil spirits in Fujiao City had not been resolved yet, and this family of demons was difficult to suppress. Could it be that the only way for them, Ciyun Temple, was to sacrifice themselves and ask the Buddha to come down to the world to exorcise the demons?
The worried old monk staggered away. The half-demon Li Zhou tried to comfort himself, telling himself not to eat the snacks he had saved with great difficulty before finding a way to teleport.
She picked up the tea bowl and drank cup after cup of tea.
In the green mountains.
Pushing aside branches, vines and thorns, the people trudged forward with difficulty. They smelled an increasingly strong stench of decay and saw rotten fish and shrimp that had been dead for who knows how long, gradually becoming impossible to hide in the mud.
Fish and shrimp should not appear in the mountains, and the situation is becoming more and more strange.
Witch Lu said in a deep voice: "The existence of the gods themselves will bring madness and chaos. It seems that this place has been shrouded in the shadow of the gods. Everyone, be careful."
Before anyone else could react, the female doctor Li Zhou said solemnly, "Okay."
Everyone:"……"
Witch Lu: “…”
Once you start talking about the miracle doctor, it becomes difficult to maintain this tense atmosphere.
Unconsciously, as soon as everyone heard the voice of the female doctor Li Zhou, the negative emotions in their hearts would be swept away, and replaced by the shock of seeing kindness. No emotion could be stronger than this shock.
Just as everyone was feeling emotional, a human body made of mud quietly grew out of the soft mud behind them.
It stuck to the back of Mozhe Yin Chan, and its face without facial features squirmed and changed. After a while, it became exactly the same as Yin Chan.
Yin Chan was about to follow the crowd and continue moving forward, but suddenly, she lost the concept of "walking" in her mind.
Her ability to walk was stolen from her and she could no longer walk.
Yin Chan stood there in a daze, watching another self pass through her body, as if the real her was keeping up with her companions.
No... hurry up... at least remind them to be careful of that fake Yin Chan...
Yin Chan opened her mouth and was about to speak, but the concept of "speaking" was also stolen.
She kept opening and closing her mouth and moving her arms, but no sound came out of her mouth and her feet remained in the same place.
The next moment, her "station" was also stolen.
She fell into the mud, and her vision was instantly covered by the mud and turned dark.
Unable to stand up or speak, she lost the direction of her efforts and didn't know where the road ahead lay.
It was the first time that Yin Chan felt so powerless. Her heart was filled with fear and her whole body began to tremble. But beyond the fear, an even stronger anger swept over her. A stern rebuke rang out in her heart: If you can't walk with your feet, then use your hands. Are you someone who gives in so easily?
With trembling hands, she supported herself on the mud. Her body seemed like it would fall into the depths at any moment, but Yin Chan still tried her best to hold up her body.
A cold, pale hand grasped her shoulders, and the copper coin earrings swayed slightly, brushing past her eyes as she tried to open them.
The moment this hand held her, her stolen abilities to walk, speak and stand all returned to her.
It was as if the thief saw the police and ran away in a hurry, leaving the stolen goods behind.
Yin Chan wiped her wet face, gasped for breath, and looked up at Doctor Tan who was squatting in front of her.
The green-feathered parrot squatted on Doctor Tan's shoulder, looking at her nervously. Seeing that she was fine, it flew over and said, "Woo woo woo, Master, I almost couldn't see you..."
Yin Chan sat up and touched the green-feathered parrot, rubbed it with mud, and realized belatedly that it was the first one to be stolen.
The demon hunter Yu Miaoluo chopped down the fake Yin Chan with a sword, and watched it turn into a ball of mud again, saying with disgust: "What on earth is Situ Hui going to do?"
If it weren’t for the timely discovery by the miracle doctor Tan, they probably wouldn’t even know that they had all been replaced by these dummies.
She ran back to Zhen Yinchan and performed a cleansing spell on her and the green-feathered parrot.
"These two mountains were transformed by my junior sister's parents."
Female doctor Li Zhou stood up and told Tan Zhao what she had seen and heard in Qingqiu.
She suddenly realized that if she wanted to know what Situ Hui was going to do, she had to first know the origins of these two green mountains.
Of course, it’s definitely not because she has a bad memory. After recognizing the two mountains, she forgot to tell everyone.
Witch Lu listened attentively, Gong Daopan and other demon hunters showed horror and emotion, Yin Chan clenched her fists, and Mei Tang and Song Gang had tears in their eyes.
Everyone understood why Dr. Tan had not spoken of this matter until this moment.
This is the pain in the heart of Doctor Tan. How can the scar that has already healed be easily uncovered? I dare not imagine how heartbroken Doctor Tan is at this moment, and I dare not imagine how Doctor Tan's junior sister would feel after knowing this.
Li Zhou saw the expressions of the crowd and her ten points of understanding were enough for her to understand that she should be feeling sad now.
She portrayed this kind of sadness vividly, with a glimmer of crystal in the corners of her eyes, the corners of her mouth curved downward, and she stroked the green branches with a hint of nostalgia, as if these trees did not exude a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, but were a friend of the past.
The tears that didn't fall were the most heartbreaking. She even knew that she shouldn't cry like a baby at this time, but should just stop at the right time.
In Fujiao City, there is the Li Mansion.
Master Liaochen brought in a pile of books, and Li Sheng and Yue Niang had already set up two small desks, one for Li Dalang and one for Li Zhou.
Baby Li Zhou looked at Master Lechen and said, "Teacher, can I ask a question?"
Master Liaochen touched her head and said, "Just ask directly."
Baby Li Zhou said seriously, "Why does death exist?"
In fact, the first question she wanted to ask was why we should be sad when someone dies.
She is a miracle doctor, she can actually bring them all back to life.
Master Liaochen thought for a while and said cautiously: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of all things in this world."
"Will the teacher die?"
"meeting."
"…Will mother die too?"
"meeting."
Big tears appeared in the big eyes of baby Li Zhou, and he began to sob silently.
Master Liaochen held her in her arms, patted her back gently, and recited scriptures in her heart.
The child's curiosity and sadness were acted so realistically, just like a real person.
But she is not a human being.
To her, people's feelings and years are too insignificant.
What kind of power is guiding her to learn how to be a human being?
This is as ridiculous as asking people to learn to be a mayfly that is born in the morning and dies in the evening.
But to mayflies, this power is so respectable.
Even if people cannot truly understand the significance of mayflies' existence, just knowing that mayflies exist and how they live is enough to praise this tiny species.
Master Liaochen opened a book, hugged Li Zhou, and read to her:
"The feathers of a mayfly, the clothes are neat and tidy. My heart is filled with worries, where can I go?*"
"What does this mean?"
"This poem is about the mayflies that died at sunset, and their bodies formed a thick layer on the ground, which was gorgeous and beautiful. Even the death of such a small life can give people a thrilling feeling.*"
Baby Li Zhou nodded, as if he fully understood what Master Lechen said.
As a teacher, Master Liaochen could easily see that she understood nothing.
Even so, she did not put down the book, but continued to teach the next sentence patiently:
"The wings of the mayfly, picking clothes. The heart is full of worries, will you come to me to rest?"
Li Zhou repeated it aloud with her. She was a studious girl and would not daydream in class.
Yue Niang was standing at the gate of the courtyard holding a plate of watermelon, smiling at Li Zhou who was studying hard. Her daughter had always been a diligent and studious child.
Li Sheng silently took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
She was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Why am I...crying again?"
Gong Daopan took out three incense sticks and burned incense and chanted the mantra for rebirth with a group of demon hunters.
The smoke gradually gathered into a veil floating in the air. Gong Daopan said respectfully, "We have a magic spell in the Demon Hunting Division. As long as both parties light three incense sticks and chant the corresponding spell, the scene where each other is can be displayed on the veil condensed by the smoke. I wonder if your junior sister would like to take a look at the two seniors?"
When the half-demon Li Zhou heard that this was possible, he quickly borrowed three incense sticks from the old monk and recited Gong Daopan's spell.
Yuan Zhen was worried, not knowing what the fox demon was going to do. When the half-demon Li Zhou was getting ready, he hurried out. After a while, he called many monks and ambushed them outside the meditation room.
The smoke swirled around for a long time and lingered, and a few shadowy figures appeared on the veil formed by the smoke.
The half-demon Li Zhou stood up and looked at the female doctor Li Zhou.
The little fox remembered everything: "It was you who saved me from the trap."
The little doctor said, "I am only entrusted by your parents."
She turned her body sideways so that the little fox could see the lush green mountains behind her. The branches swayed gently in the breeze, like the big fox's tail soothing the little fox. The whole mountain was green, just like the green robe of the Taoist priest.
The little fox brought the remaining half piece of lotus cake to the shadow of Qingshan, as if this way he could share it with his parents.
Yuan Zhen, who was guarding the door, listened to the two reminiscing about the past and gradually pieced together that forgotten history.
The old monk, holding the pestle ready to slay demons at any time, looked at Qingshan, then at the pitiful piece of half lotus cake, his face became uglier and uglier, thinking back to what he had done since he met the little fox, and only one thought remained:
I really deserve to die.
