After having breakfast quietly, Xiao Hei wiped Yan'er's mouth, looked at Qing Qing and asked, "Has my sister gone to school already?"
Qingqing nodded and replied: "I have gone a long time ago. I will have to waste half a year waiting for my brother to wake up."
Xiao Hei couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he heard it. He looked at her and smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Didn't I just wake up?"
After speaking, he looked at the old shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, it will be the Chinese New Year in a few days. Even the market will not be open tomorrow. Have we bought all the new year's goods?"
The old shopkeeper smiled lightly and said: "There are three foodies in this family, so how can we buy less New Year's goods? You don't need to worry about this matter. It has already been purchased."
Yan'er nestled in front of Qingqing and shouted in a low voice: "Sister, I won't go shopping with Yan'er during the holidays."
Qingqing touched her head and smiled: "Brother is afraid that you will be kidnapped, so he asked you to stay at home."
Bai Ling thought for a while and asked, "How about we go shopping in the afternoon?"
Now that Xiao Hei's legs and feet are recovering, she is a little bolder.
I thought back then Xiao Hei could defeat the eminent monks in Hanshan Temple with both of his legs broken, let alone Xiao Hei who had just woken up from nirvana.
Xiao Hei was about to reply, but the old shopkeeper couldn't help but asked: "Xiao Hei, why didn't your Nirvana breakthrough cause a disaster?"
Xiao Hei then remembered what happened after he broke through. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only reply: "It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with the boss." Senior Taoist priest, let me ask again."
Not even his brother knew about his affairs, only the old monk and the old Taoist priest.
When the old shopkeeper heard what he said, he suddenly became thoughtful and stopped asking any more questions.
Clapping his hands gently, Xiao Hei said with a smile: "Today we will go to the imperial city and buy some food."
After waking up from a deep sleep, Xiao Hei wanted to make amends to his two sisters, and for Yan'er, the final compensation was to go shopping.
The same goes for Qingqing. She wants to give her sister more happy time before she transforms into another form.
And this kind of happiness, in Xiao Hei's memory, was when he and Xiao Bai went wild and wild in the Dragon Valley.
Yan'er was very happy on New Year's Eve this year.
Because my brother came back, he also bought a lot of fireworks.
It made her happy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and she was still giggling until the group went into the wasteland.
…
On the third day of junior high school, when Xiao Hei told the old shopkeeper that he would go on an adventure with Bai Ling and Yan'er, Qing Qing quit and refused to separate from her brother and sister no matter what.
The old shopkeeper had no choice but to wave his hand and say: "It's rare for this family to get together, so don't separate. I'll go with you."
This was beyond Xiao Hei's expectation.
After all, in his opinion, going to a secret realm must be lonely and boring.
Now it's better, the whole family is going together, even if you want to be lonely, you won't be able to do it.
Xiao Hei went to the market twice more for this purpose and bought enough dry food to take with him. Then on the eighth day of the lunar month, he led his entire family out of the imperial city.
After the carriage ran for a few days, the group abandoned the carriage and climbed the mountain. From a distance, Yan'er shouted: "Brother, there is a stone statue there!"
Xiao Hei raised his head, okay, Bai Ling took him to the bottom of a temple again.
There is also a huge Buddha statue on the stone wall of the back mountain.
Xiao Hei couldn't help but think about the words his brother kept saying from time to time: "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are so many towers in the mist."
Fortunately, Bai Ling did not take the four of them to the main entrance of the temple, but went around to the edge of a cliff in the back mountain.
Then he looked at Xiao Hei and said, "I seem to have been here before, but I seem to have forgotten it. After everyone goes in, don't get separated. Let's get together and find a place to settle down."
The old shopkeeper thought for a while and replied: "Don't worry, it won't break up."
After saying that, the old shopkeeper held Qingqing's hand, Xiao Hei held Yan'er, and Bai Ling took out a piece of animal bone and turned it three times on a mark on the stone wall.
Then there was a roar, and a not very spacious entrance appeared in front of everyone.
Xiao Hei lit two torches, handed one to the old shopkeeper, held the other in his hand, and followed Bai Ling inside, waiting until everyone was ready to enter...
There was another roar, and the stone wall behind him closed, followed by a round of spinning...
When the four of them opened their eyes, they realized that it was as if they had returned to the entrance of a secret realm. But when they looked up, there was no longer the big Buddha above them. The environment here was mysterious and peaceful.
After a group of people stepped in, they felt like fragments of time were passing around them, and they felt as if they had traveled to a different space. This was a strange experience.
There are trees in the mountains and the sun above our heads, but I don’t know whether it is spring or summer here.
"This should be a small world, right?" Xiao Hei looked back at the old shopkeeper, somewhat lost in thought.
The old shopkeeper nodded and said: "If it weren't for the small world, where would the panacea come from? You must know that Yan'er and Bai Ling's transformation is a heaven-defying act."
He remembered his practice in the ancient world. After practicing hard for thousands of years, he found the opportunity to transform. How old is Yan'er now?
Only the heaven-defying elixir can make the little family take off their white wolf bodies and transform into human beings.
The group of people wandered around the mountains for an hour, and finally came to the edge of a small stream.
The old shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hei and said: "Don't rush to explore now, spend some time, let's build a wooden house here, Qingqing and I will live here..."
Xiaohei thought about it, looked at Qingqing and said, "Sister, I will practice here with my seniors. You also need to read, write and practice swordsmanship. We will come back when we find good things."
Qingqing followed all the way to the secret realm and was no longer anxious.
Looking at her younger sister who was running wild behind Bai Ling, she yelled: "Yan'er, don't be crazy, come over and stay with your sister for a while, and let your brother chop down the tree."
Cutting down trees and building a wooden house is not difficult for Xiao Hei, let alone a powerful old man.
It took three days for everyone to build three wooden houses on the stone flat by the creek. The old man also started to make simple furniture, so that Qingqing could have a table to write on and a bed to sleep on.
Yan'er was so happy that she shouted all day long: "Brother should have brought Yan'er here to play a long time ago. The city is suffocating."
Xiao Hei shook his head, touched her head and smiled: "You haven't transformed yet. When you are like my sister, you won't think about running wild in the mountains all day long."
After thinking about it, Xiao Hei looked at Bai Ling and asked, "Have you bought a skirt? Have you bought my sister's skirt?"
Thinking that the two girls would be able to transform into each other soon, Xiao Hei suddenly remembered this matter.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. When we were shopping, we bought a lot of things, including the boots Yan'er wore."
Xiao Hei sighed, looked at Yan'er and said, "Sister, will you learn to comb your hair by yourself from now on?"
Yan'er shook her head and replied in a tired voice: "No, Yan'er wants my brother to help me and wait until I grow up to learn!"
Bai Ling burst out laughing, then met Xiao Hei and said, "Just be content. Qingqing, you didn't take care of her properly. It's Yan'er's turn to torture you."
Xiao Hei chuckled, looked at the two of them and said, "Brother said you don't have to worry about debts, so don't be afraid."
Qingqing ran over and asked with a frown: "Who is my brother?"
Xiao Hei sighed and said: "My brother went to the Tianshan Mountains deep in the desert. When we return to the imperial city of Dazhou, he and his sister will be back soon."
Yan'er nodded thoughtfully: "So Yan'er has a sister? That's good. Then we can ask her for money."
Xiao Hei was speechless when he heard it, looked at Bai Ling and Qing Qing and asked: "You two have taught Yan'er some messy things, and you have to ask people for money at a young age?" Qing Qing curled her lips. , pointing at Bai Ling and said: "Sister said she was happy to give Yan'er flowers, how do I know if she is right?"
The old shopkeeper shouted: "It's time to cook. Aren't you hungry?"
When Yan'er heard this, she ran away. Qingqing looked at Yan'er's back, looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
Xiao Hei shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "When we get to the Imperial City, let my brother teach you two. There are some things I won't say, so you have to listen to your brother."
In his opinion, Yan'er absolutely cannot be taken care of by Bai Ling.
This guy has never been restrained. How does he know what he can and cannot do?
He even had an idea that after Bai Ling transformed, he should return to the imperial city of Zhou Dynasty to find an academy to study together with Yan'er and Qingqing.
Let the teachers in the school teach them the principles of life.
Just like when my brother brought Xiaohu back to the imperial city and sent him to the academy.
After dinner, the family gathered around an oil lamp to make tea.
Xiao Hei looked at Bai Ling and said, "What are the arrangements for tomorrow? Should we separate? Or should we act together? Will there be any danger?"
Bai Ling shook his head and said softly: "My mother gave me this animal bone. I was still very weak when I came here. I just wandered around and left..."
After hearing what Bai Ling said, Xiao Hei naturally understood what she was thinking.
At that time, I finally found a secret realm, but because I was too weak, I didn't dare to go deep, so I had to give up temporarily until I met myself later.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei looked at her and said seriously: "Don't worry, as long as the elixir is still there, I promise to find it for you and give you a taste of your wish."
Bai Ling touched Yan'er's head and smiled faintly: "If you want to talk about good luck, this guy is the one. If she hadn't met you, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to speak now."
Yan'er suddenly became furious, jumped up and bit her.
He suddenly jumped into Qingqing's arms, looked back at Bai Ling and shouted: "Yan'er is my brother's sister, and Yan'er has a sister."
Bai Ling suddenly became happy and chuckled: "You are the biggest, okay."
Xiao Hei was a little confused for a moment, looked at her and corrected: "Yan'er, we have an older brother, a younger brother, and a older sister. We have a big family, do you understand?"
Yan'er nodded, shook her head and replied: "Yan'er seems to understand, they all love Yan'er."
Xiao Hei saw something bad and stopped talking.
The old shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hei and thought for a while and said: "There are still a lot of fireworks bought for the New Year. You should take them with you and light them when you are in danger. I will take Qingqing to save you."
Qingqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Brother, come on, don't wait for Qingqing and grandpa to save you."
Xiao Hei nodded, thinking that the old shopkeeper was more thoughtful.
After all, he was not afraid of anyone in his party of three, and Xiao Yaner had a lot of problems to deal with. It was indeed a good thing that he could ask for help from the old man when he was in too much danger.
On the first day out, the three of them caught nothing.
Only Bai Ling led Yan'er back to the wooden house in the creek with a bunch of wild flowers. Qingqing, who was writing, asked, "Has my sister seen the monster?"
Yan'er shook her head: "No, I only saw a few stone monsters. My brother didn't let me touch them."
Xiao Hei sighed and said, "That's a stone statue, not a monster."
Yan'er nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Bai Ling said it was a monster that couldn't speak."
This time it was Bai Ling's turn and couldn't help but giggle: "We may run a little further tomorrow, but we may not be back the day after tomorrow. You don't have to worry about us."
Qingqing frowned upon hearing this, put down her pen and looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Brother, is this secret realm very big?"
Xiao Hei put the flowers in his hands on the table and replied quietly: "This is a small world. It's not surprising how big it is."
