Yanshan Records

Chapter 33

The brother's recovery made Gu Su overjoyed, and even talked a lot more than usual. He couldn't help talking about some things in these years, things that Fu Zongming had never heard from him.

Di Chie listened quietly, his eyes fell on Gu Su, as if he was looking at the taciturn and reserved child back then.As Gu Su was talking, he suddenly showed hesitation. He didn't know how to tell his senior brother about Master's current situation.

Ban Ye started to forget a few years ago, and then suddenly he didn’t know Gu Su anymore. The hospital in the town was small, and the doctor’s initial diagnosis was Alzheimer’s, which is also commonly known as senile dementia. He had just passed his 73rd birthday that year.

Just as he was organizing his words, Monk Du E suddenly shouted that he was not good, and ran in. When he saw Gu Su, he seemed to have seen a savior: "Quick! Quick! Master Ban is gone!"

When Di Xie heard Master Ban's name, he suddenly lost his expression. Gu Su's anxiety overwhelmed him and saw that his face had changed badly. Before he had time to explain, he hurried out to find someone.

"Master, when did Master disappear?" Gu Su asked as he walked out.

Monk Du E wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Just now, I was burning firewood in the firewood room, and he was sitting on a chair outside. When I came out, he was gone! I looked around, but there was nothing, so I can only Let me tell you first, so I can go to a farther place to find... When did you come back? Your senior brother is..."

"I'll explain to you in a moment." Gu Su walked to a slightly higher land parcel, and he could see most of Rong Town's appearance below. He raised his hand and whistled long, and the high wind carried the whistle far away. At the place, the echoes made the whistling sound amplified several times, resounding through the entire mountain.

After a while, two figures, one black and one yellow, came running from a distance, and a round ball was dotted in the distance, running fast on four short legs.Majestic and mighty barked twice excitedly. A long time ago, when the two masters were young, they would bury all kinds of things in a place in the mountains and let them find them. The whistling sound was the horn to start the game.They haven't heard such a sound for a long time, and haven't played this kind of game with them since the owner has grown up!

Gu Su said: "Go, find Master."

The two dogs spun around in excitement, and rushed out like arrows leaving the string. Poor Rhubarb just caught up, and passed the two seniors again, and quickly braked and turned around to chase.

Gu Su said to Monk Du'e: "I went to find the master with them, and you can take care of the senior brother. Zong Ming, you stay with them. I hope the master will not stray too far from the mountain path. There are still many hunters in the mountain. The trap is too dangerous."

Di Xi suddenly said: "I will go too."

Gu Su looked at him, nodded after a while: "Okay."

Fu Zongming realized later, and wanted to say that he would go too, and saw the two senior brothers stepping down the steep slope in front of them, and after a few quick movements, they almost caught up with the three four-clawed generals in advance .

Monk Du E raised his head and looked into the distance, sighing: "This skill! You can run faster than a dog!"

Fu Zongming looked at him: "..."

"Oh!" Monk Du E realized that he had said something wrong, "The monk said that they run as fast as dogs, Amitabha."

Fu Zongming turned his gaze back, and decided to follow even if he couldn't catch up.

When Fu Zongming saw them, he was already near the foot of the mountain. Mr. Ban hugged the tree and shouted: "Help! Help!"

Gu Su stepped forward and tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Master, come back with us."

Master Ban said in a broken voice, "You Poor Monkey, when my big apprentice comes back, I'll give you a stick and you'll know you're wrong."

Di Chie stood not far away with his arms folded. He was just watching from the sidelines. Hearing this sentence, he suddenly said, "Didn't you drive your disciple away?"

Ban Ye was taken aback, and shouted hoarsely at the top of his voice, his old face flushed: "Ah Chi is in town, I'm going to pick him up. He's always like this, just playful, forgetting the time, I have to pick him up !"

Majestic and mighty at the side helped Gu Su bite Banye's pants, but Banye didn't let go of anything, and said some incoherent things in his mouth, but he couldn't do without Ah Chie.

Standing there, Gu Su couldn't bear to look back at his senior brother's expression, and couldn't bear to look at Master Ban's appearance, so the scene remained deadlocked.

Until his keen ears caught the footsteps of the people behind him, Di Jie stepped forward and said softly, "Master, I'm back."

Ban Ye's howling like killing a pig came to an abrupt end, his cloudy eyes seemed to be blurred, he narrowed his eyes, stretched his neck forward, and suddenly a chrysanthemum appeared on his face: "Ah Chi, Go back and eat porridge."

Di Chi breathed for a moment: "Don't drink porridge, let's eat dry rice today."

"Did the mayor give you money again? Don't waste it, but if you want to eat, you can eat today. Your brother is still at home alone, let's go back quickly." Master Ban let go of his hand and got up from the ground , wearing sawdust and grass leaves all over his body, went up to hold Di Chai's hand.

Di Chie lowered his head slightly, looking at the hunched Ban Ye.

Will the elderly shrink in size?Obviously the Ban Ye in his memory also has gray hair, but he still has to look up.He has accepted death since he was a child, everyone will die, and Master is no exception, but Master Ban's full of energy makes him think that Master will be like that even when he dies.

People who have been around all the time will ignore these small changes. If he hadn't had those things back then, maybe he can still be calm now seeing Master Ban.But now he is standing in front of Master Ban, those 12 years seem to be quickly condensed, and they are directly presented to him on Master Ban, and he seems to have a real feeling: So I really missed 12 years.

When he just woke up, his calmness towards Gu Su collapsed in an instant, all his emotions were suppressed and choked in his chest, almost making him unable to breathe.

Master Ban's hands were stained with dirt, but they were very hot, and the heat spread to his body.It must be, otherwise how could his eye sockets be so hot?

Seeing his master and senior brothers passing by, Gu Su, a little apprentice who only existed in the master's mouth, was so perfectly ignored, he pursed his lips, and suddenly felt that the wind at the bottom of the mountain was cooler than the top of the mountain.

Fu Zongming stepped forward and took his hand: "Let's go back too, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, I brought bread back from the town yesterday, specially for you."

Receiving Gu Su's moving eyes, Fu Zongming's heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.If Xiao Su could just look at him like this all the time, only looking at him, he would be willing to make him pay any price.

The three dogs looked at each other on the ground, awe-inspiring: what shall we do next?

Mighty: planing mice?

Rhubarb: planing mice!

Back in the house, Mr. Ban sat on the chair outside the door, and Di Jie took the blades of grass off his head for him, and then took a wet towel to wipe his hands clean.Master Ban became quiet, seeming to have forgotten what happened just now, looking at the town below the mountain from a distance, he would not answer anyone calling him.

Gu Su formally introduced Monk Du'e and Fu Zongming to his senior brother. Di Jie looked at the two in front of him, expressed his gratitude beyond words, and said solemnly: "I will never forget your kindness. When I was away, one took care of my master, A person who takes care of my junior brother, this kind of kindness should be repaid with my life, if there is anything I can help in the future, I will go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Monk Du E hurriedly waved his hands: "It's too serious, too serious, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Fu Zongming looked at Gu Su: "We are all a family, Xiao Su's business is my business."

Di Chi felt relieved: "It's his great fortune for Junior Brother to have such a loyal friend like you."

Gu Su didn't know what expression to put on his face. Looking at Fu Zongming, he saw him smiling slightly at him, his eyes were soft, and the words written in capitals were harmless to humans and animals.Gu Su calmly replied with a smile: "Yes, we are very good friends."

This time, Fu Zongming was injured internally.

"Aw! Aww!" A high-pitched dog bark came, Dahuang was the first one to run back, and ran to the feet of the crowd, screaming excitedly.Weifeng and Weiwu each came back with a dusty and dirty thing in their mouths, and they looked carefully and it was still moving.

Monk Du E took a look: "It's bad, the Mountain Mouse finally sent spies here and is about to move back. You two beasts have cut off the way for others."

Gu Su and Di Chi looked at each other with innocent and helpless faces, as if they were the ones being scolded.

Monk Du E extended his palm forward: "Spit it out."

The majestic and mighty teeth loosened, and the two chubby mountain rats, stained with saliva, fell to the ground, and soon became silent.Monk Du E picked them up by their tails: "Hmph! I know the master is back and wants extra meals, so I'm quite conscientious. Amitabha, everyone, let's have braised mountain rats for lunch today."

After he finished speaking, he took the mountain mouse and walked around the back of the house to process the ingredients.

Di Chi: "..."

Fu Zongming: "..."

Gu Su thoughtfully explained: "The master was a chef before he became a monk. That day the master invited me to a banquet and talked about the recipe of a dish on the wine table. The master stood up and said what he said was wrong, and the two argued. The master found out that the mage was cheating, and wanted to drive him out, so the master persuaded him a few words. After the banquet, the two talked for a long time, and they didn't know each other."

Di Xie's complexion was complicated, and he felt strange that his master regarded orthodoxy as a plague, and why he still made friends with a monk. Monk Du'e was originally a monk who did not abstain from meat, but he thought it was normal.

Gu Su looked at the two dogs squatting on the ground sticking out their tongues and panting, with a look of reluctance.The prestige and might are still scurrying around like a whirlwind, but the obvious weakening of control makes them unable to stop, and they are often seen bumping into trees and pillars, which is worrying.

"Senior brother, you have been away for too long, even your prestige and might have become two old dogs."

He felt a little sad in his heart, but before he had time to brew it, he was abruptly cut off by the boss: "Who are you calling an old dog? You deceive me to speak ill of me behind my back!"

Usually, he would ignore it, but he could hear this kind of words clearly.Di Chie's eyes were complicated, and he said, "Master, just admit it, you just have a guilty conscience and know that what you do will be scolded by others, right?"

"Don't call me dad! You call me an old dog, why don't you call me dad!" Ban Ye excitedly swung his walking stick and smashed a small hole in the ground in front of him.

Gu Su stepped forward to smooth things over: "Brother, Master is hard of hearing and still confused, let's not be as knowledgeable as him." Di Chie nodded, "Xiao Su, let's go."

When Master Ban saw Gu Su, he also scolded: "Go away, you piggy, go too!"

Gu Su: "..."

He thought to himself: Forget it, Master is Master after all.Fu Zongming was stunned at the side, even if Xiao Su's master is like this, his fighting power is not weak, how powerful is he when he is in good spirits!

It was getting dark quickly on the mountain, Fu Zongming didn't have a good rest last night, Master Ban and Monk Du'e went to bed early, and there were only two brothers, Di Chai, who were still awake.

Di Xie walked into the main hall. He didn't look carefully before, but he just realized something was wrong. Now that he looked carefully, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.The statues of the patriarchs hanging on the wall were all burnt to half, hanging unevenly on the wall.The statues of the ancestors who have been worshiped since childhood are not only the thoughts of the ancestors, but also the belief and reverence for the sect, and the root of faith and strength.

"It's Yinhe." Gu Su walked in behind him, "I just brought you back, and she appeared. Seeing you like that, she got angry for a moment and did something stupid."

Di Chie turned his head, was silent for a while, and said, "It's me to blame. If I hadn't done something wrong, none of this would have happened. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Yin He imprisoned in a coffin. She should be angry. .”

As he spoke, he looked up at the portraits around him, and the scorched black marks were particularly eye-catching. He knelt on the futon in the main hall, and knocked his head three times: "I am unworthy disciple, I regret it here."

"Senior brother," Gu Su knelt beside him, his voice a little low, "What did you do wrong? Yin He said, is it because of this that you created a zombie?"

"Sit down and talk." Di Chie turned over and sat down, and waited for Gu Su to sit down before saying, "Yin He is right, that's the reason. But it's not because of the zombie you think, but because of that book, "" Yanshan Records."

Gu Su frowned, and patiently listened to what he said. Di Chie's voice was very soft, a little superficial: "White clouds are in the sky, and mountains and mausoleums come out of their own accord. The road is far away, between mountains and rivers. The general can come back without dying. This is Does a passage in the book sound familiar?"

Gu Su nodded: "Yes. It comes from "Parade of the King of Zhou". It is a passage that Queen Mother Xi said when King Mu of Zhou met with Queen Mother Xi."

"Yes, it's the 'blessing' from the 'Goddess of Longevity' to ordinary people: Please don't die, and you can come again in the future..." Di Chie chuckled, "I didn't understand what that book was until I read it The spells recorded in the book are all unorthodox spells, which more or less involve the human soul, such as longevity, rejuvenation, resurrection, and many unnatural actions, all of which are included in the book. But those spells Fa, all at the cost of the soul."

"Yan Mountain is the residence of the Queen Mother of the West, so it is also called the Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West. It is recorded in the book that the Queen Mother of the West is the ruler of the heavens and the five disabled. She is in charge of punishment and plagues. She holds the magic of longevity and the medicine of immortality. She is the supreme goddess. "Lanshanlu I don’t know where it came from, but the techniques in it are weird and unusual, and there are even records of soul sacrifices. The so-called longevity technique is to use techniques to forcibly trap the soul in the body. Such methods may come from Is it because of the 'Goddess of Longevity'? And what is the purpose of that goddess to spread these spells to the world?"

His narration was very plain, but the content in his words was shocking. The first thing Gu Su thought of was Fu Zongming in the room.The lonely soul who survived by chance because of "Yanshanlu" is facing unknown things. The runes on his body are the straw to save his life, and they are also ammunition that will explode without knowing when.

"Then... where did that book go?" Gu Su couldn't imagine how that book would be used if it fell into the hands of others.

"It was taken away by Hades." Di Que said lightly.

"This is impossible. Master has been asking me to bring you and "Yanshanlu" back. If the King of Reincarnation took it away, how could Master not know?"

Doubts floated on Di Xie's face: "But this is absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that he took it away, and it was in the Yinhe tomb."

Gu Su couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but he still believed in his senior brother. No matter what, his senior brother was always more trustworthy than that Lord Hades.He didn't want to think about it, and changed the subject abruptly: "Since you know the danger of that book, why did you touch the forbidden law?"

Di Xi lowered his eyelids, as if he was thinking about memories. After a while, he said, "I forgot. Probably because I was playful, or because I was curious... I forgot."

Gu Su stared at him in a daze, stretched out his hands to run along his back, and Di Jie laughed: "You still don't go to sleep, you must have not slept last night, right? Don't sleep more, be careful not to grow tall..." He said that before he remembered The junior in front of him has already grown up, and he is no longer bothered by the matter of growing taller.Gu Su was indeed sleepy. He rubbed his eyes, as if he would fall asleep as soon as he closed them, and he didn't hear Di Chie's words clearly.

Di Xie smiled, and was about to help him back to the room. When he looked up, he saw Fu Zongming standing by the side door leading to the back room. He didn't know when he came.

"I'll do it." Fu Zongming stepped forward and pulled Gu Su up from the ground.Gu Suqiang cheered up and said to Di Chie: "Brother, don't you want to go to sleep?"

"I'll sit down for a while." Di Xie said with a smile.

Gu Su nodded: "Good night, brother."

"Good night." Di Chi watched their backs until they disappeared behind the door.He got up after sitting for a while, turned off the light and went back to the room.

Gu Su and Fu Zongming had already fallen asleep. He stayed by the bed for a while, looking at the two sleeping face to face, with strange emotions in his eyes, but he finally calmed down, returned to his bed, and closed his eyes. eyes.
