mountain god dance

"Do you know where the gold, silver and account books are kept at home?"

Xiao Baigu's mouth was full of fish, and he was playing with the colorful stones he had just scoured from the river. He laughed and answered irrelevant questions: "Father, my skills have improved. I can eat all the fish."

"Be careful with your belly."

Bai Wo reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, staring at him as if he couldn't get enough of it, imprinting his son's face in his heart.

"Father is going out to do errands, you follow..."

He glanced at Dai Ye who was sitting beside him picking fishbone, "Play with this mountain god for a while."

"Can't I go with you?" Xiao Baigu looked at Dai Ye in wonder, "Why did the Kitchen Fire Master turn back into a mountain god?"

Daiye cleared his throat, and put the white fish into the bowl of rice: "Cough, I told you that I am very capable, and I have several jobs."

"Then, in that case."

Xiao Baigu twisted his body and asked his father: "You won't drive him away? We can live together."

"Do you want to be together?"

"Yes, there is a fairy living in the house, so majestic."

"Okay." Bai Wo promised him: "But you have to be good to the mountain god, otherwise he will run away crying and won't be able to catch him."

Dai Ye also said seriously: "Yes, I get sad very easily, and I fly away when I cry."

Xiao Baigu nodded vigorously: "Okay! I won't make you cry! Did Master Stove Fire watch me dance?"

Dai Ye: "I like watching it the most, but Grandma Wu's mutterings are too annoying."

Xiao Baigu laughed again: "Oh, I'm full, I want to sleep..."

Bai Wo looked at his son for a while, and then reluctantly said goodbye to his old friend: "I have to go, and if he gets sleepy, it means that the formation is about to fail. It's enough to spend time with him."

Daye: "It may not be the worst case, he will wait for you to come back."

Bai Wo carried his son into the bed and covered him with a soft quilt: "Sleep, baby."

Xiao Baigu felt the uneasy tone, and he said worriedly: "Father, tell me a story when you come back."

"it is good."

"Speak 1 times, okay?"

"Just 1."

Baigu felt his cheeks become soft and wet, and his father kissed him and left.After a while, Baigu closed his eyes, the lights were on and off outside the window, day and night were changing, the battle of the ancient gods had already begun, and what fell on his ears was only the sound of endless light rain, ticking diligently.

The scorching sun was covered by thick rain clouds, and rainy days were the best time to sleep.

This is a good day, Xiao Baigu thought, when he wakes up again, there will be an adult in the family, just like those children with father and mother, no one will laugh at themselves with words that have no mother.

He wants to drag his father and the gods around, from the entrance of the village to the end of the village, to show the mothers-in-law and other children.Then let the gods conjure up talking pangolins to walk around, making others drool with envy.

Thinking of this, he triumphantly had a sweet dream.

The house was covered with sky and sun, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

The three gods of Jindian, Lanjian, and Shanmi sat silently facing each other, from Maochu to now.They were really tired and didn't dare to rest. Sometimes their tired eyes fell on the low couch where Baigu was sleeping, but they continued to look at the bamboo skin floor after a short stop.

No one dared to wake him up first, otherwise he would have to tell the bad news himself. Who would like to tell him, who would like to see him in a daze.

Shan Mi held a thin golden branch in his hand, with several glazed flowers growing on one end, and golden sand-colored pollen floated towards Baigu.He wanted to see his younger brother's dream, hoping to understand what happened in the short life and what last words Bai Wo left.But Baigu's dreams were very broken, some were with others, some were with his father, in the dream it was raining heavily, making the whole dream watery.

On a sunny day with few clouds in autumn, the light paves the way, and the evil spirits dare not leave their nests.After a whole night of fighting last night, they lost a lot of money and even lost their demon swords. They also had to weigh up on Changyetai to see if they were the opponents of the three gods.

Maybe it was too depressing, Jin Dian turned his head and whispered to his younger brother: "Why did you bring him back and erect a monument for him yourself?"

"He's still alive."

Lan Jian meditated calmly: "I owed him before, didn't you too."

"I don't think so." Jin Dian retorted dissatisfiedly, "If he hadn't brought that magic weapon, Bai Wo would have died?!"

These words seemed to hurt people, Sugi frowned, and straightened up uneasily.Lan Jian motioned him to lower his voice: "Yin meridian controls his mind, and when he wakes up, he will be our companion again. Brother, there is no need for the water god to die now."

Suwei was thrown on the ground, and there seemed to be no sign of life.The house that covers the sky and the sun originally existed for the purpose of repairing and recovering, and it might allow Suwei to regain his life.

Jin Dian folded his arms and stopped talking, but it could be seen that Shan Mi also didn't want to see the snake god wake up. He had killed the jellyfish at that time, but now that the snake god didn't die, it seemed that he didn't have much ability.

Accompanied by the sound of Baigu's deep breathing, they sat for a while. Shanmi first stood up to make tea, and also called Lanjian to come to taste it, but did not say anything to Jindian, acting like a teacup. Very indifferent.

He Bo thought it was funny, and kicked the leg of the stool he was sitting on: "Don't you want to pretend?"

Shan Mi has no expression on her face: "The pleasing look I cultivated is not for you to see."

"I've figured this out for a long time, don't want to be polite to me? Haha, I've been surrounding Baigu like a good brother who doesn't care about the world..."

These words are true, and Sugi really doesn't want to show her "indifferent" side.

He then said, "I don't need to let you understand what I'm thinking about."

He Bo grinned and narrowed his eyes: "Indeed, I'm not interested either."

"You should be interested." The other party played with the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "After all, you were defeated by me just once, didn't you?"

The atmosphere was even more tense than before. Lan Jian, who had not received the message from the two, took a breath of tea, smelling the spiritual power to relieve anxiety, and sighed: "Good tea."

Jin Dian glared at his younger brother.

"as far as I know."

Shan Mi thought of the fragments she saw from Luomenghua, and started another topic: "In the past, you wanted to ask Lan Jian to come and tease Shang Baigu together, so you are proficient in dividing people together? I and you It’s different, Baigu has belonged to me since I was a child.”

Sugi said without reservation: "I don't want to share him with others."

Jin Dian's eyes became dangerous, and he lowered his body: "You can think whatever you want, what are you, can you compare with my brother?"

"What have you done for your brother?" Shan Mi did not back down, aggressive, "I went to Luoyang to find Li Ying, and he promised to build temples for Lanjian in Luoyang and Chang'an so that he could leave the mountains and have a new life. God name, what have you done for him? Just walk away?"

Jin Dian smiled sarcastically: "You question me about a trivial matter in the 800 years of our life together, and I don't agree."

Lanjian understood it this time, and looked at the two of them in surprise: "Thank you...are you arguing over me?"

Without squinting, Jin Dian stretched out his hand and slapped his younger brother on the back of the head.

"Yeah, a trivial matter caused him to go to the fake mountain god to suffer from natural decline, and he gave up half of the inner alchemy. So far, you still think it has nothing to do with you?"

Sumi is also good at adding fuel to the fire: "It's like you didn't feel that you were at fault for destroying Zhuwei's village."

"Everything you say happens for a reason—"

"I'm talking about 'fruit'! Now why don't you think it's wrong to fall in love with Bai Gu who is so careless? You continue to make mistakes and leave him! You can also help me!"

Jin Dian's fist had already been swung out, and Lan Jian hurriedly stood in the middle to stop them: "Don't do this, I'm not worth it. We were fighting against each other last night, how can we fight well today?"

The two of them stopped suddenly.

It wasn't because of Lanjian's words, they all saw Baigu turned over on the couch, stretched long, opened his eyes with his mouth open.

"What time is it?" He called out, as if Bai Wo had just kissed his cheek and left.Baigu got up, rubbed his eyes and asked them, "Where is my father?"

They had been arguing fiercely before, but now they seemed to be dumb.

Shan Mi turned off the ignition first, and Bai Wo's departure really made him feel impatient.His childhood was also lost, his neighbor Uncle was away, Uncle Uncle's doll could not be looked after, and the life he tried to maintain was shattered.

"Baigu, listen to me..." Shan Mi approached his younger brother, "Do you still remember that pewter with a copper handle? Uncle followed you in, defeated the guy who held you hostage, and never came out again."

Baigu looked at him with black eyes: "What do you mean by not coming out again?"

Sugi opened her mouth: "It's just..."

Baigu jumped off the ground to put on his shoes, walked around the house, squatted down when he saw Zhuwei's tail to see who it was, then stood up again, and went out without any reason.

The house that covers the sky and the sun is very big, and it is not easy to walk down. He found his heart getting colder and colder, his feet became more and more numb, and his voice became more and more trembling: "Dad, have you gone out?"

He closed his eyes and went into the realm of gnosis, calling Bai Wo's name, and saw himself crashing into the illusory Baishui village.

Baishui Village is empty, without even the shadow of the villagers, just like the short life in the candle, indifferent and inhumane, not like my hometown.

Baigu opened his eyes and left the house that covered the sky and sun, and returned to their resting place in Beichuan.This temporary house is small, with a little open space in front of and behind the house, Baigu squeezed into the bamboo forest and walked forward, hoping that his father was playing hide-and-seek with him.

Now his voice is silent.

Everything in the world is squeezed behind, and there is nothing in front of it, there are no 1 stories, and there are no promises that can be fulfilled.

Going forward is Lishui, where his father fished him out of the river, as if to give him a surprise, saying that he is not an ordinary farmer.He also said that Dad must be determined to eliminate the demon, so that he could risk his life.

Baigu's mind was in a mess, and suddenly a voice came into his heart suddenly: he may, may, or, become an orphan.

The voice of these words became louder and filled his ears: Orphan, orphan, orphan, no father and no mother...

He is an unwanted child, who cares about him.Play as much as you like, stay outside for as long as no one will angrily pull you back, play as much as you like, no one thinks he is ashamed; no one runs all day for him to pick wild fruits in the rainy season; Willingly abandon the image of the gods, fall to the ground, and grow old in vain.

Nobody's going to beat him in the ass with a stick...

"Hundred valleys."

Jin Dian has been following behind, and couldn't help saying: "That short-lived day is very powerful, it..."

Jin Dian explained a lot, as if explaining the cause of his father's death.Baigu didn't make a fuss or cry, but stubbornly looked at the river, wanting to see if someone would come out of it, holding a piece of baggage wetly, watching himself drift away on the bamboo raft.

"He cooked for me." Baigu said softly, "The sun was very hot, he used some technique to cook fish for me. If it was an emergency, how could there be time to cook fish and fry mushrooms? "

Jin Dian said dryly: "He asked me to protect the Dharma outside, and then I got into the candle. Then the candle caught fire and threw you out, but I didn't see him."

Jindian handed the food box to Baigu: "You still brought this with you when you came out."

Baigu opened it silently, touched the beautiful small stones he picked out by himself, the fish tail was still fragrant, and the mountain god knocked down two mangoes with a bamboo pole.Childhood is so close, and I was still experiencing carefree just now. Childhood is just a dream, and I have to face separation just after waking up.

Baigu couldn't figure it out, why dad would rather play with him for a while and have dinner together than say goodbye?

Why can't a grown-up speak clearly and not talk about death with his children?

Just say that you have to take care of yourself, don't be greedy, do you remember where the money is placed, and do you know where the clothes are placed?

How do you know this is the last words?

He hugged the box in a daze, and looked at the running water again.

Jin Dian silently watched Bai Gu's blind search, fearing that he would be overwhelmed and kept following him.

Now Jin Dian understands why many gods say that cultivating immortals cannot be close, and today he knows the reason.

When they are close to love, they are like reckless men, and they are not at all reserved and dignified when they quarrel with Shan Mi.

With family affection, Bai Wo is a mortal, and he doesn't realize that there is any fun in being a fairy.

So what about myself, after all this is over, return to the big river again, and spend the days to come ruthlessly.After experiencing the sweet wine of lingering love, will you promise never to love someone again?

When Jin Dian raised his head, he happened to meet Baigu's eyes, and Jin Dian thought, it would be great if they didn't meet at this time.

Baigu didn't rejoice at his return, didn't speak any words of concern, and didn't want to explain anything.

The child can no longer take someone's hand to wander around Baishui Village, and he can't show others his father and the old fairy he has captured.

Because the Baishui village is gone, the father is gone, and the gods are gone.

"Thank you."

Baigu said that it was difficult for him to express his gratitude to He Bo for his help: "I don't need to ask you to like me. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. But I can't live without my father... I I don't know what to do."

Jin Dian heard that his heart was broken, and he knew that he would never be able to spend the future ruthlessly.
