Chapter 123 Green Leaves (1/2)
Ergouzi's spiritual consciousness withdrew from the jade ruler. His spiritual consciousness was consumed too much and he felt dizzy. There was still a lot of content in it that he had not finished reading.
"Is this what you want me to see?"
The thief who stole the elixir never showed up, so he could only ask in the air.
Then he saw the green elixir leaf floating in front of him again, and nodded it gently a few times, like a person nodding.
"Can't you just show up and see me?"
"I don't need to hold you accountable for stealing the elixir."
Compared with the benefits he got this time, Ergouzi decided to be generous and no longer pursue the matter of the elixir.
Because he could feel that the thief had no ill intentions towards him other than stealing the elixir and feeding it to the snake.
Otherwise, we would have discovered it long ago if we lived on the same mountain.
The green leaf clicked and turned a few times in the air, but I didn't know what it meant.
It feels like the person in front of you doesn't exist, it's impossible to communicate, and it's a headache.
“Let me ask you, if the answer is yes, just click up and down.
If the answer is no, shake it left or right. "
After much thought, Ergouzi could only come up with such a stupid idea.
"Can you understand what I mean?"
The green leaves floated in the air and clicked up and down. It seemed to be interesting. This method worked.
"Let me ask you, are you unable to show up?"
The green leaves clicked up and down again.
"Can I take this jade ruler back to have a look?"
The green leaves clicked up and down again.
Er Gouzi stroked the jade ruler gently in his hand.
In the memory, the jade ruler should belong to the woman with the head of a human and the body of a snake, and she often holds it in her hand.
Every time Xu Feng made a mistake or was disobedient, she would use this jade ruler to spank her palms and butt.
Perhaps it has been used for a long time, and the jade ruler has been worn extremely smooth and moist.
Seeing Green Leaf click to express his agreement, he immediately put the jade ruler into his arms.
"Did you steal the elixir to revive those snakes?"
The green leaves clicked.
"Who are you?"
After thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't answer the question.
"Can you write?"
The green leaves swayed left and right in the air.
Finally met a strange thing, he was still illiterate.
If he can write a few words, just let him write on the ground, which is much more convenient.
"Are you her?"
Ergouzi said, pointing to the bones on the jade bed.
The green leaf clicked, and then shook sideways.
"What do you mean by clicking and shaking?"
Hearing this, Green Leaf repeated the action just now, clicking and shaking again.
Ergouzi was confused for a while, not knowing what the other party meant.
The difficulty of communicating with illiterate people is at least 10 times higher.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again.
"Do you mean that you have a relationship with her, but you are not her?"
This time, the green leaves clicked again.
"Are you her son or daughter?"
The green leaves shook.
"Then are you his father, mother or relative?"
Green Leaf shook it again. It was obvious that he was not related to the corpse.
"Then you are Xu Feng?"
Er Gouzi suddenly thought that in all the memories of the corpse, there would always be only her and Xu Feng.
It seemed that in her world, apart from Xu Feng, there was no one else, not even a cat or dog.
This time the green leaves seemed to be greatly stimulated, shaking violently in the air.
"Do you have a grudge against Xu Feng?"
This time, the green leaves nodded again and then shook.
It’s too hard to communicate with illiterate people. It’s always a combination of affirmations and negatives, and it’s impossible to communicate.
Ergouzi pulled back his thoughts. These things actually had nothing to do with him, so there was no need to waste energy.
"Did you steal my elixir just to revive those snakes?"
Green Leaf clicked, confirming Ergouzi's guess.
"Don't steal my elixir again, can you do that?"
The green leaf shook firmly.
"You mean you want to steal again?"
Green Leaf nodded and expressed his affirmation sincerely.
This kind of illiterate person who can't even find the real body is incapable of entering.
But Ergouzi couldn't do anything to him.
"Look, we live on the same mountain. We can't see each other when we look up. Stealing is wrong. Being a thief will be despised by everyone."
Now Er Gouzi can only tell the truth and reason with the thief, so that he can realize his mistakes and change his ways.
"If those big snakes revive, they will bite and eat people. The surrounding villagers may be eaten by the snakes."
"What you do is tantamount to aiding the evildoers."
"Stop stealing elixirs for snakes to eat, okay?"
Ergouzi said so much sincerely, but the green leaves were still dry and salty, and he shook them sideways firmly.
This was the first time he met such a person, who took stealing things so naturally.
His persuasion was useless, but he also found that the thing in front of him, who didn't know whether it was human or not, didn't seem very smart, and behaved more like a child.
"Actually, I practice in the mountains every day and feel very lonely. I really hope I can make a friend like you."
"Actually, I also have a good friend. His name is Yushan. You may have met him. He is an honest, kind, hard-working and brave man.
I regard Yushan as my own family. We have a very good relationship, closer than family members. "
"Every time I come back from outside, if I don't see Yushan at first sight, I will miss him very much. Even if I travel to the ends of the world, I just want to find him..."
Ergouzi told this invisible person every detail of the mutual care, mutual encouragement, and mutual support between him and Yu Shan.
He was so moved that he burst into tears. Luye seemed to understand his feelings and rubbed his hand gently.
"Will you be my friend and become a family?"
Ergouzi has already given great sincerity and wants to impress the other party.
However, the green leaf floated steadily in the air, motionless.
After a while, it spun in small circles in the air, one after another.
What does this mean?
It's neither affirmative nor negative. Ergouzi can only rely on guessing.
"You have to think about it before you decide, right?"
The green leaves are a little bit up and down.
"That's fine, you think about it slowly, we are neighbors anyway, and I will come to play with you often in the future."
"By the way, can you tell me where your true body is? How can I find you?"
When Green Leaf heard this question, he flew around in the air again.
No matter how hard Ergouzi thought, he couldn't figure out the reason.
"Do you mean you don't want to tell me?"
The green leaves shook sideways again.
It seems that he is willing to tell Er Gouzi.
The next problem is that he himself doesn't know how to express it, or he doesn't have a real body, or... only a ghost can guess it.
Effortless.
Ergouzi rubbed his head and continued to ask patiently, this point is very important.
"Do you have a true body?"
The green leaves were spinning around in the air again. I didn't know what it meant, at least it wasn't affirmative or negative. .
"How can I find you in the future?"
The green leaves did not fly around this time, but floated towards the jade bed where the bones were, and got under the bed.
It turns out to be hidden down here.
Ergouzi walked over and gently moved the jade bed. The bed was not very heavy, weighing one or two thousand pounds, so he pushed it aside.
There is a square piece of jade under the bed, three feet square, with densely engraved runes on it.
At this moment, the green leaf fell on the jade stone.
"Is this jade yours?"
The green leaves floated into the air again, drifting sideways to the left and right.
"If Jade is not you, then you live here?"
The green leaves clicked up and down.
"Hahaha...I finally found where you live."
Er Gouzi had a bright smile on his face.
"That would be great. I can find you here anytime in the future. We will definitely become good friends."
He could also sense a strong spiritual power from this piece of jade.
Jade with such spiritual power is rare, and at the very least it is a high-quality weapon refining material.
Unfortunately, this piece of jade is tightly connected to the ground and forms a whole, making it impossible to dig it out.
Ergouzi was very cautious this time and did not dare to use his spiritual sense to investigate again. He had already suffered losses twice.
However, he still took out a piece of light-colored clothing from the gourd and covered it with the piece of jade.
Then use a piece of charcoal to rub gently on the clothes to imprint all the talisman patterns on the jade onto the clothes.
Lift the clothes gently, and a rune pattern will be completely copied to the clothes.
Gently fold the clothes and put them back into the gourd.
I used to ask Brother Ji about everything I didn't know, but unfortunately now I have no one to ask, so I can only find the answer myself.
"I'll go back today and come back to play with you in two days."
Then he couldn't ask anything, so he planned to go back to the top of the mountain first and read the contents of the jade ruler. Maybe he could find useful information in it.
Get the useful information first, and then figure out how to deal with it.
"Don't go to my mountain to steal elixirs these days, okay?"
Before leaving, Ergouzi turned around and asked again.
The answer I got was still Green Leaf’s negative, and I still wanted to go.
Forget it, let’s go back and read the contents of the Jade Ruler first.
When he walked out of the jade room and passed the group of snakes, he looked up again.
This time the writing on the stone wall was revealed.
"Xu Feng imprisons the snake demon here!"
Um?
Er Gouzi was really surprised when he saw this line of writing. It turned out to be Xu Feng.
The grievances and resentments between these two people are a bit complicated.
But these are all things from ancient times. The parties involved have long been wiped out and all dead, so it has nothing to do with him.
Back on the top of the mountain, Yushan approached a little uneasily.
What he is most worried about right now is that his master will expose him for sleeping lazily in the cave every day.
"Has the master caught the thief? Are there many, very ferocious snakes inside?"
"I encountered a snake. It's so dangerous inside. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Ergouzi nodded. He didn't expect Yushan to be so brave and not flinch even with so many big snakes inside.
Yushan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally not discovered by his master, otherwise he would have been beaten again.
"Master, I am your most loyal servant. I am afraid that you will be too worried."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go back to the house and take a rest."
Er Gouzi said hello to Yu Shan and then went back to the house to sleep.
It took two or three days for the depleted consciousness to recover.
Then he probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade ruler again.
The content in the jade ruler is different from the inheritance of Master Baihe.
The inheritance of Baihe Zhenren may be to prevent disciples from being too ambitious. The spiritual consciousness must reach a certain strength before learning new content.
The content in the jade ruler is different. When the spiritual consciousness enters for the second time, it can continue to read from the previous position.
The content in the jade ruler records the bits and pieces of the life of the woman with a human head and a snake body and Xu Feng.
At the beginning, Xu Feng was young and naughty, and often made the woman angry, and then was punished.
Gradually, as Xu Feng grew up, the two snuggled up to each other, ate together, played together, and practiced together.
There were no earth-shattering events, all of which were warm little details in life, such as a bunch of wild flowers, a side dish...
It made Ergouzi a little excited, and he also wanted to live such a life.
Every time he came back from outside, there would be a woman at the door of the house, stretching her neck to wait for him.
Every time he was tired of practicing, there would be a woman who had prepared a table of delicious food.
When he was injured, someone would take good care of him...
Every time he came back from outside, he could only see Yushan's wrinkled face and tearful eyes.
He also had to worry about whether Yushan had escaped.
This was not the life he wanted at all.
Ergouzi had an inexplicable feeling of disgust towards Yushan.
Even if Yushan was a female birdman, he would be more accepting.
Alas!
When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, there were still many matchmakers who wanted to match him.
In the past two years, there was no one to match him.
A few days ago, he met the second daughter of Huang Laocai's family at the entrance of the village.
The second daughter waited for Ergouzi for several years, but there was no response. She became an old girl as she got older.
In the end, she got married to an honest man in the neighboring village who was a good farmer.
Now she has two fat boys. The older one has learned to walk and walks all over the ground, and the younger one has also started to learn to talk.
Alas!
That big girl with a round face, a round waist and a round butt that had appeared in his dreams many times, was his dream...
But he never regretted it. There was only one Yushan on the mountain, and he couldn't get her.
It's impossible to lock her up with an iron chain after marrying her.
