I slowly walked to the eastern edge of the flat top of Luojiaopo.
Looking down from the probe, I saw a high vertical steep cliff.
If it were ordinary people, I'm afraid not many would dare to reach this position!
But if you look carefully, you will find a stone staircase winding downwards along the cliff. Moreover, the grooves on the steps seemed to have been forcibly dug out by some weird sharp instrument...
That's right!
This is what Bai Su grabbed directly from the stone wall with her sharp claws.
Although as a rabbit, his natural fighting spirit is not strong. But at least it is comparable to a great demon who has cultivated for more than fifty years.
As long as a pair of claws circulates the demonic energy, it will be sharper than a dagger and harder than a shovel!
It is not difficult to carve stairs into the stone cliff.
In order to consider the convenience when we go to the cave as guests, she also drove in steel bars next to the groove of the stone stairs that can be grasped by hand to maintain balance and stability.
Every time I come here, I hold on to these steel bars and follow the grooved steps dug into the stone wall into the cave.
Of course today is no exception...
"Miss Bai, Huihui, I'm coming to see you."
While I was talking, I entered the cave from the steep stone wall as nimbly as an ape.
Chirp!
The little furry gray fox barked happily, scampered out from the depths of the cave, and came to greet me at the entrance.
The funny thing is, this guy has a lollipop in his mouth!
At the same time, the little boy's voice sounded in my mind.
"Brother Wu, are you here? Huihui misses you."
The little gray fox dove into my arms and started to twist like a pet dog.
The flesh is soft and the fur is very soft, and feels very comfortable to touch.
"I miss you too, little one."
I smiled and rubbed its head, took out a large bag of snacks from the backpack behind me and placed it in front of it.
So Huihui jumped left and right excitedly - I saw it on the TV show "Animal World". This is a way for animals like foxes to express their excitement.
Well……
Although it is already a monster, it is still an animal in nature. Of course there are some leftover instinctive behaviors.
At this time, a huge white rabbit also slowly walked out of the depths of the cave.
A woman's clear and beautiful voice also sounded in my mind.
"Brother Wu spends money again. This little guy Huihui, whether he goes to the coffin shop in the town below or you come to our house, we always give him a lot of snacks."
I waved my hand.
"It doesn't cost much, as long as Huihui is happy. By the way, Miss Bai, my school is on winter vacation, so I'm going back to Wujiacun. If you and Huihui have time, you can come to the village to have a look. Or you can go more often. Let's stay with Lao Cao at the coffin shop. I'm afraid he won't be used to it. Especially on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve..."
Bai Su nodded.
"Okay. That's exactly what I meant. When my master was still alive, he and I would celebrate the New Year together every year. Speaking of which, it's been many years since we celebrated the human Spring Festival."
As she spoke, there was a look of nostalgia and emotion in her eyes...
After chatting with Bai Su and Hui Hui for a while, I left the cave on the cliff of "Luojiao Slope" and started walking home.
It is winter after all and the days are short.
When we returned to Wujiacun, it was already dark.
When we were still a mile or two away from the village entrance, I encountered a lonely ghost wandering in the fields nearby, trying to scare me on purpose.
As a result, I was frightened on the spot - I raised my hand and fired a talisman of fire, which scared the guy so much that he screamed and ran away.
I almost fell down a few times, which can be said to be very scary.
Made me laugh out loud.
Of course I can see that this ghost is very weak and has no evil spirit, and it must not be capable of harming others - a very courageous and tough-minded ordinary person like my dad would probably be able to knock it over.
It is estimated that he simply does not want to be reincarnated and stays in the human world.
Although this kind of delaying the reincarnation in the underworld is not a good thing, I am not a moralist. I don’t have such a strong mental obsession and want everything to be done perfectly and according to the rules.
Regardless of whether you are a human or a ghost, you must have some obsessions of your own... As long as you don't have obsessions that turn into inner demons and are taken advantage of by evil spirits, it won't be a problem.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw my dad waiting for me there.
There were no street lights at night in ordinary small towns in those days, let alone in small villages in the mountains!
Lianghe Town has street lights at night because it is a very prosperous town.
So my dad held a kerosene lamp and placed it on the stone next to him, while he leaned against the tree trunk and smoked with his head down.
"Dad, are you secretly smoking here under the guise of coming out to pick me up? Give me something to keep quiet, or you'll tell mom when you get back."
My dad heard the sound, quickly raised his head, smiled happily and cursed.
"You brat! What do you want to do? If you dare to snitch, I will beat you twice as much as your mother will."
After saying that, he patted me hard on the shoulder.
I:"……"
I understand, where did I learn to be so thick-skinned sometimes? It turns out it’s hereditary!
arrive home.
My mother was naturally very happy and chatted with me for a few words. I was told to go and deliver food to Master first, and then go home early to spend time with them after eating.
…
Maybe God also thinks that I have been a bit busy in the past six months, and finally did not give me any more tasks to practice during the winter vacation.
It's like the evil spirits hiding in the dark have calmed down and are getting ready to spend the end of the year.
For nearly half a month, I just spent time with my parents every day, doing homework, reading various spiritual books that Master gave me, and then going to her to learn something new.
The days were full and leisurely.
The day before New Year's Eve, I invited Master to come to my home to celebrate the New Year together.
Originally, I didn't have much hope, so I just tried to talk about it.
As a result, she never expected that Master would agree immediately!
This makes me very happy.
That afternoon, I took Master to my house early.
My mother, who was feeding chickens in the yard, saw us walking in. She was stunned for a moment, and then she was so happy that she grinned from ear to ear.
He didn't even feed the chicken anymore. He wiped his hands on his apron and shouted back into the main room.
"Master, Fairy Girl is here! Come out quickly to greet her."
After saying that, he quickly came forward and said hello to my master.
My dad also came out of the house in a hurry, very enthusiastic and a little reserved.
They now also know that my abilities are getting better and better, and they also know more clearly how powerful "Qin Xiangu" is!
When the sun was about to set, my second father and his family also came over.
My grandparents have passed away, so only the two brothers are left to celebrate the New Year together.
Of course, my second father and second mother also knew my master’s name, but they were not familiar with it, so they were more in awe.
The four adults were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and I was left to play with my second father's daughter, my cousin.
She is also seven years old, has two braids that reach the sky, and is quite cute. He kept pestering me and kept playing around.
I glanced at the master who was sitting quietly next to me, and she said with a chuckle.
"Don't worry about me, you can do your own thing. But after the New Year's Eve dinner, they will watch TV in the main room to watch the New Year. You have to practice in the yard with me."
ah?
I'm a little confused.
This is the New Year...you still have to practice!
Isn't it necessary?
After all, I usually practice very hard, but during the Chinese New Year, can’t I stop even on New Year’s Eve?
Master saw the depressed and reluctant expression on my face and explained softly.
"Ah Chong, it's not that the master is strict. It's because at midnight on New Year's Eve, when the old and the new change, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will change greatly. It is also the best hour of the year to practice practice in this age of the end of the Dharma when the spiritual energy is exhausted."
"And your talent is very high. When the years change from old to new, you are likely to have some special spiritual insights. This is very mysterious. I hope you can grasp something. In the future, you can better practice my practice. A lineage of methods and techniques.”
Her voice was very sincere and seemed to have some expectation.
I see!
I understood, and I felt both moved and guilty.
What is touching is that Master has been planning for me.
Regrettably, I also questioned her for being too harsh.
"Yes, Master! I understand."
…
I don’t know what is the custom of celebrating New Year’s Eve in other places. Anyway, our place starts at around nine o’clock in the evening, and the whole family gathers together to have New Year’s Eve dinner.
My parents, my second father and my second mother, the four of them cooked a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner together.
All kinds of big fish and meat are served on the table.
The strong aroma unique to farm food filled the entire hall and kept getting into my nose!
Various Sichuan and Chongqing dinner dishes, as well as my mother's "homemade" stir-fried local chicken with kimchi and sea pepper, which is my favorite, were also served on the table.
It was time to eat, so of course my master took off his mask.
In an instant, the whole room seemed to suddenly become brighter.
My master's beautiful and delicate face was displayed in front of my parents and my second parents.
That's right!
In all previous interactions, my master wore a mask.
This was the first time they saw my master.
