"Girl, you can open your eyes."
I only heard a clang, and then the voice of the old man, gray haired, but hoarse and dry, sounded like two people's voices intertwined.The fishy smell in the old man's mouth was really smoky, I opened my eyes, the green snake was gone, and when I got up and looked back, the old man just took the snake gall and was about to swallow it.I couldn't hold it back at all, retched for a long time, and my stomach boiled uncomfortably.It wasn't until he finished eating that I felt a little better."
Now you can go and get the baby, rest assured, there will be no snakes."
The old man had a satisfied expression, like a person who hadn't eaten for a long time saw a flower chicken.I looked at the corner again, puzzled and asked: "The hole is dilapidated and dirty, why is it cleaner here" The old man walked up to me, the smell on his body was too strong, I subconsciously covered my nose, he didn't mind, but he couldn't reach the corner: "Have you ever heard of alum oil" I shook my head, unheard of.The old man squatted down and patiently explained: "During the time of Tang Gaozong, there was an alchemist named Gu Gangzi, who wrote a book called Emperor Jiuding Shendan Sutra, which is recorded in Volume 9 that refining stone alum can obtain green alum oil by extracting its essence.The first king also asked me for the method of immortality, and I also refined the elixir and consulted many classics. ”I've dug out a wooden box from a corner, and the strange smell is coming from it."
Then can this green alum oil save the life of the owner of the North Leaving Farm" I opened the wooden box, there was a black bottle inside, and I shook it twice, and there was indeed something in it.The old man got up: "This can't be given to people, this thing will corrode people's skin and harm people's lives." ”I also got up and threw the black bottle to the old man, he had no strength in either hand, and almost broke the black bottle, but fortunately he caught it in time with his pus foot."
Girl, you want to kill me," the old man said dissatisfied, but his expression was not displeased.I shook my head again and again: "I'm just scared, I don't want to die." ”When it comes to life and death, I have to be cautious again and again.The old man put that foot in front of me: "Since you don't want to die, then hurry up and take this bottle, if it falls, you will freeze to death here tonight." ”I bent down to take the bottle, and asked anxiously: "What should I do next" The old man handed his right hand to me: "At the third buckle, pour out the contents of the black bottle, don't panic, take your time." ”I hesitated, holding the black bottle and asking again: "I know, you want to corrode the iron chain with alum oil, so that you can be rescued, but can you tell me whether you are a good person or a bad person" The old man's eyes softened a lot: "Girl, you are young, the world is sinister, you have to remember that bad people will never tell you that I am a bad person, and they will not have the word bad person written on their faces, you must use your heart to screen, do not condone a bad person, and do not miss to rescue any good person." ”Xu is what he said is similar to Li Yao, I decided in my heart that Li Yao was my first Jinling friend, and I let go of my guard against the old man."
Then be careful, if it corrodes the skin, it will be terrible."
I was polite to him, and the person who could teach me the truth was definitely not a bad person.The power of the alum oil was so amazing that the wrist-thick chain was corroded and broken in an instant, and the sound of zit and the boiling heat made me shudder.But I still lived up to the old man's expectations and managed to break the two chains.Then the old man sat on the ground and stretched out his legs: "My tendons were broken by Xiling Yue, and this shackle will also bother the girl." ”I was disgusted by the smell of pus on his feet, but thinking that it was getting late, and the cold air in the cave was slowly coming, I no longer hesitated, but after they were all broken, I asked worriedly: "Your hand tendons are broken, and your feet are injured, and you have to drag this heavy shackles, how can you escape?"
The old man suddenly slapped me with his hand that had held the snake's gall, and I was shocked to retreat and fell to the ground.The dagger in his sleeve also fell to the ground, and the old man stared at the dagger, and I hurriedly picked it up and said, "Why don't I use the dagger to help you open the shackles, so that it will be more convenient for you to go out." ”The old man smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to pull me: "Do you get up by yourself, or will I pull you" I quickly got up, the old man walked in front, and I followed closely.After coming out of the dark prison, the old man found the dust separator powder in the tin box, sprinkled himself and turned around and grinned at me: "The girl is a person who loves cleanliness, with this dust separator incense powder, the smell on my body should be much lighter" I nodded, more worried about how we should get out.Although the old man's hands did not have much strength, and he still had a chain as long as a flute in his hands, there was no pain in his expression.And because of the exertion of the two hands, the scabbed area had cracked, and blood slowly oozed out."
Girl, are you afraid of the dark?"
asked me before the old man crouched down at the only ventilation hole.I confessed: "I am afraid of many things, but in the face of death, I am not afraid of anything, as long as I can live." ”The old man gave me a thumbs up and pointed to the ventilation hole: "Then come, let's escape together." ”I stretched out my hand: "Before escaping, can you give me the way to save the owner of the North Leaving Farm" The old man was stunned for a moment: "You are afraid that I will not save him" I told him my inner concerns: "You have a grudge against Xiling Yue, you must have saved the owner of the North Leaving Village, and it is difficult for you to get out easily, so after leaving this hole, you can escape first, I will take your method to save the owner of the North Leaving Village." ”The old man patted me on the shoulder, and I didn't dodge anymore: "Aren't you afraid" I smiled reluctantly: "What am I afraid of" The old man took a deep breath: "Aren't you afraid that I lied to you, you are not afraid that the method I gave you is harmful, you are not afraid of Xilingyue blaming you for letting me go, you are not afraid of death" I reiterate: "I am not afraid of the first three, I am only afraid of death." ”The old man pointed to the entrance of the cave: "Then let's go, you are a good girl with a good heart, and the Bodhisattva will bless you with peace and sound." ”I looked at him hesitantly: "What about you" He looked at the dark hole, and the wind blew in: "I have chains on my hands and feet, and I am afraid of being heard when I get out of here, you go out first, and I will come later, you little girl, don't leave me alone." ”The last sentence seemed to give me a reassurance, I climbed into the hole, my whole body was cold and shivering, when I was about to slide down, the old man grabbed me and asked: "Little girl, what is your name" I braved the cold wind to answer him: "Lou Yusheng, Qiong Lou, beauty is like jade, the song of Hesheng." ”The old man applauded: "Good name, I will remember, girl, go, we will have a date later." ”After saying that, he pushed me hard, and I wanted to open my mouth to ask him what he meant, but the wind was so strong that I couldn't make a sound at all, so I could only continue to fall down the black hole
