Chapter 114 “Peach Blossom Immortal”

“My nephew is reluctant to read, he likes to herd cattle since he was a child, so I let him go , I don’t know what will happen in the future.” The host looked at the distant shepherd boy and said.

Li Qing smiled and said, “herding cattle is a skill, he has done a good job, and he will be promising in the future.”

“I hope, but my mother and I Well, when he is a little older, he will come to me to learn winemaking, and in the future he will also have more skills to support his family.” The host said again.

Li Qing said no more, suddenly the host asked Li Qing: “I don’t know where you are going today, the guest. I am familiar with the surrounding area. You can be your guide.”

Li Qing smiled: “It’s not necessary, I’m just here to relax, the surrounding peach blossom forest is already very beautiful, you can just turn around at will.”

The host’s nodded, he and the village The old people in the middle all thought that Li Qing was a scholar. This time he came to the village to play, and he said, “Yes, your scholars are no better than us. If you fail the exam, you are more anxious than anyone else, and you are stressed all day. , it’s time to relax.”

“Yeah,” Li Qing Qing nodded, “so many people have turned their heads.”

“Hey!” Hearing Li say this, The host sympathizes with Li Qing’s sighed.

Li Qing didn’t say anything. At this time, he bid farewell to the host’s house and moved towards the outside of the village.

Arriving outside the village, there was still a large peach blossom forest obscuring the view. Li Qing walked casually and saw the shepherd boy and his old cow in a weedy meadow south of the village chief. There are no peach trees, and some green grass has competed for space, and the old cow is eating leisurely. Li Qing waved to the shepherd boy lying on the ground from a distance. The shepherd boy also waved when he saw Li Qing, but the shepherd boy probably thought that Li Qing didn’t see it, and after waving his hand, he suddenly picked up the flute in his hand and played it.

“wu~”

This sound was loud and distant, Li Qing waved his hand again after hearing it, and the shepherd boy lay down satisfied and continued to look at the sky, listening to the old man. Cows graze.

Looking away from the shepherd boy, Li Qing said that it is good to be young. He can lie down on the grass for a day without any troubles, but if he is older, he will not lie like this.

Leaving the shepherd boy, Li Qing let go of Little Zhu and let him fly in the sky to see if there were any clues, but Li Qing felt that the probability was not big, but it was better than nothing.

And he himself, at this time, casually strolling in the peach blossom forest, looking at the peach blossoms in his eyes, Li Qing suddenly thought of the famous peach blossom poem:

“Peach blossoms in the peach blossom dock” An, Peach Blossom Immortal under Peach Blossom An;

Peach blossom immortal grows peach trees, and picks peach blossoms to sell wine for money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you get drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers;

Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, flowers bloom year after year.”

Li Qing thought about a sentence at this time, walking in the peach blossom forest, and gradually became a little immersed in it. In these words, he was excited to read it, and he picked a peach blossom and put it between his nose and sniffed it lightly.

“I hope that the old and dead are not willing to bow in front of the carriage and horses; > If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the lowly, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky;

If the poor and the poor are compared with a carriage and horse, he has to drive me away.

When others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh Others can’t see through;

I can’t see the tombs of heroes in the five tombs, no flowers, no wine and hoes.”

After reading this poem, Li Qing felt that he had a broad mind and a high vision. If it is really possible, he really wants to make a home in this peach blossom forest. Every day is like this poem, sitting in front of the flowers when he wakes up, and falling asleep when he is drunk, but this is only a possibility. He has a lot to do. Peace of mind in this peach blossom forest.

After turning around for a while, Little Zhu suddenly flew down from the sky. Li Qing saw that Little Zhu had a peach branch in his mouth.

“Little Zhu, why are you still holding a peach branch.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Li Qing stood on Li Qing’s shoulder at this moment, and put the peach branch gently on Li Qing’s hand, and said, “Master, this peach branch doesn’t seem to be the same, I have seen this from far away in the sky. The peach branch was inserted into the soil, and it seemed that it only appeared today, but not yesterday, which is very strange.”

“oh?”

Li Qing picked up the peach branch and took a closer look. Not seeing anything, he asked Little Zhu to take him to the place where this peach branch was discovered.

Little Zhu and Li Qing arrived quickly. This is a small open space, surrounded by other peach trees. There is only one space here. From a distance, it should be here. There is also a peach tree, but now it is blank.

Li Qing lowered his head and found the ground where the peach branch was inserted. There was a small hole on it, which was left after Little Zhu pulled out the peach branch. Li Qing put the peach branch in it. , it fits perfectly, what Little Zhu said is true.

He picked up the peach branch and took a closer look in front of him. Li Qing knew that peach trees and Willow trees in general both have the function of cutting propagation. It will survive as a new tree as long as it is properly hydrated.

However, unlike Willow Tree’s simple and easy living, the survival rate of peach trees is very low, and generally no one will do this.

Besides, who would have inserted this peach branch into the soil, Li Qing looked around, at this time he and Little Zhu were in the center of the peach blossom forest, far from the peach blossom village. , no one is around. Li Qing thought to himself, could it be done by a naughty child, but it doesn’t look like much.

Li Qing’s heart moved, is it possible that the peach tree spirit made it?

Thinking of this, Li Qing took this peach branch in his hand and decided to take a closer look.

After a whole day’s work, Li Qing and Little Zhu didn’t find any other clues except this peach branch. Unfortunately, Li Qing and Little Zhu could only return to the house where they stayed.

On the way, I passed by the ground where I saw the shepherd boy in the morning, and there was no trace of it. I don’t know whether the man and the cow went back to their own house or his uncle’s house. If they went back to his uncle’s house, Li Qing I thought I’d see you again.

After entering the village, far away Li Qing heard a commotion in the owner’s house, and when he got closer, the old cow was wandering at the door, looking a little irritable.

Li Qing sees this and wonders if something happened?

Striding forward, Li Qing quickly entered the host’s house. As soon as he entered the door and pushed away the densely packed crowd, Li Qing understood immediately.

The shepherd boy named Xiao Luzi was bitten by a snake while herding cattle.

To be more specific, this shepherd boy was accidentally bitten by a snake while grazing at noon, and Li Qing didn’t come back at noon, so he didn’t know it. The poison of this snake is not very big, but there is really no good treatment method in this village. It is already evening, and the snake’s venom has been in the body for a long time. The shepherd boy is dying, lying on the ground in the house Dispersed looking around.

Li Qing stepped forward to hear it, the shepherd boy seemed to be still talking.

“Uncle, I will give my flute to that little one.”

Li Qing felt a little sad after hearing this, this shepherd boy was actually saying his last words, It was still his last words about the flute in his hand, to give the flute in his hand to a playmate. Hearing this, Li Qing pushed the crowd away and came to the shepherd boy.

Seeing Li Qing, the shepherd boy looked happy and was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Li Qing.

At this time, Li Qing took out a clear Poison Pill and stuffed it into the shepherd boy’s mouth. The medicine pill was melted into the entrance, and the cool breath from the medicine pill made the shepherd boy speechless for a while, and the people around him, At this time, they all watched Li Qing’s actions, but no one stopped him.

They have tried many actions to no avail. Seeing Li Qing’s actions this time, all of them have a little hope in their hearts.

Li Qing is an outsider from the village, so there might be a way.

The medicine pill that Li Qing put into the mouth of the shepherd boy was made by himself a few years ago to prevent poisoning. The medicine ingredients used in it are all precious, and the medicines are extremely effective. Jia, from Li Qing took out the medicine pill and stuffed it into the shepherd boy’s mouth, but in an instant, the shepherd boy’s gloomy face turned rosy, and his eyes were full of anger.

This is very normal. After all, this medicine pill was originally used to fight the poison of the immortal cultivator. It is simply too easy to fight against this snake venom. If it is not so fast, it is not normal.

The host, who was originally sad, saw that his nephew was in a good mood, and his face suddenly showed an overjoyed look, and he was speechless for a while.

“Uncle.” The shepherd boy on the ground called uncle at this time, and then he stood up straight from the ground, as if he was not affected by the snake’s venom at all, and his whole person was more energetic than before the poisoning.

“Quick, kowtow to the benefactor.”

His uncle thought of something, and quickly asked the shepherd boy to kowtow to Li Qing. The shepherd boy knew that Li Qing saved him, peng~ peng~ peng~ kowtowed to Li Qing three times in a row.

Of course, it wasn’t that he only kowtowed three times, but when he wanted to kowtow the fourth, Li Qing stopped him and pulled him from the ground.

“Okay, don’t do that, it’s fine.” Li Qing said.

It’s okay to see the shepherd boy at this time, and the people around are talking about it again, but now it’s not the shepherd boy, but Li Qing, one of the old people who recognized Li Qing yesterday, right Complimented Li Qing.

Hearing the discussion around, Li Qing didn’t say anything. The host had already asked his wife to cook for Li Qing. When he heard a rooster crow, Li Qing knew that the host was killing the chicken again. .

After kowtowing to Li Qing, the first thing the shepherd boy did was to run outside the door, looking at the old cow who had been waiting outside the door, the shepherd boy hugged the cow’s head happily, and this When Lao Niu saw the shepherd boy jumping and jumping, he also screamed with joy.

Li Qing watched this scene, nodded with a smile.

At night, Li Qing sat opposite the host’s house, the host’s family sat with the shepherd boy, at the dinner table, the host’s family frequently toasted Li Qing, Li Qing drank one after another, and Li Qing didn’t What I expect is that the shepherd boy is not big, but he is also very good at drinking. At this time, he drank nearly a jar in one breath, and his uncle did not persuade him.

“Little Luzi, don’t dare to drink any more. You were bitten by a snake just today, so drinking too much is useless.” His uncle persuaded again.

The shepherd boy shook his head: “Uncle is fine, I feel that I am in good spirits, and I am not a drinker, I am a benefactor who respects me.”

“Haha. ”

Li Qing also laughed when she heard the shepherd boy say this, the shepherd boy can really speak. As for the fact that he was poisoned by snake venom and then drank alcohol, Li Qing was not worried. His medicine pill had an immediate effect, and drinking was not a problem at all. It was even exaggerated. It is useless to him, and the remaining medicine efficacy is enough for him to digest for a lifetime.

The three of them laughed and finished eating and drinking, during which Little Zhu naturally “performed” some of the unique skills of drinking, and the shepherd boy was addicted to it.

At night, when the host went to sleep, Li Qing was still looking at the peach branch while lying in the room. I don’t know if it was an illusion or because he had seen too much. The branches are unusual, not the ones that can grow on the usual peach trees.

Little Zhu also followed the staff on the side, one person and one bird surrounded the peach branches and stayed up in the middle of the night.

On the brows of the moon, the cold moonlight came in from the window. It was already early morning, and Li Qing decided to put away the branches and go to sleep. But at the moment when he just put away the branch, Li Qing moved in his heart and had an idea.

Holding the branch, Li Qing came to the owner’s yard, looking at the earthen courtyard full of vegetables, Li Qing found an open space, dug a hole and put the peach branch inside. , and then buried it and poured some water before Li Qing went back to sleep.

Li Qing buried the peach branch in the soil, which was completely unintentional. He just wanted to see if there was anything unusual about the peach branch in the soil. What he didn’t see was that his The behavior was unintentionally seen by the host who woke up at night, which made the host a little curious about Li Qing, and some didn’t understand what Li Qing was doing.

On the second day, the shepherd boy did not go back yesterday because of the snake venom, but stayed at his uncle’s house for one night just like Li Qing. Although the shepherd boy was young, he was not sleepy. It may also be because of Li Qing’s medicine pill, the shepherd boy woke up early, and then screamed in the yard.

With this call, both Li Qing and the host woke up suddenly, thinking that something was wrong, and rushed to the courtyard. As a result, Li Qing also screamed in her heart.

In the courtyard, where he accidentally planted a peach branch last night, miraculously, a nearly half-zhang high peach tree grew.

Looking at this peach tree, Li Qing has no doubts. Yesterday’s peach branch is definitely not ordinary. Li Qing also has no doubts about this peach tree outside the Peach Blossom Village. Absolutely not simple, there is a big name in it.

Li Qing thought so, but the host on the other side was looking at Li Qing again and again.

He and his nephew were still asking if he planted this peach tree differently, but the owner saw the scene where Li Qing buried the branch last night, and looked at this tree that appeared out of thin The peach tree in the air also thought of Li Qing’s act of rescuing his nephew yesterday, and the owner actually knelt down directly to Li Qing.

“Immortal is on top, I’m still atonement for the common people who have no eyes, please immortal atonement.”

“en?” The host is a little puzzled. Could it be that he can see his cultivation base, but it doesn’t seem like it, so why kneel down for himself.

What Li Qing didn’t know was that the host didn’t know his cultivation base. He saw a peach tree growing overnight. He thought Li Qing was the kind of Immortal God in the mortal world, so he knelt down. . This Immortal God is some kind of ghost, and the goblins are also included in this category.

Seeing his uncle kneeling down, the shepherd boy looked at Li Qing and wondered whether he should kneel or not. If he said kneeling, there was no reason. The shepherd boy was very puzzled by the immortal in his uncle’s mouth. To say life-saving grace, didn’t I kneel down yesterday?

“What are you doing, get up.” At this time, Li Qing pulled up the host.

Being pulled up by Li Qing, the host got up naturally, but feeling the heat from Li Qing’s palm, the host had some doubts, is Li Qing immortal, and why immortal is as hot as him? .

Li Qing wanted to find out what the host was thinking. He thought it might be the branch that grew out of the tree that misunderstood the host. Li Qing pointed to the tree and said, “This is not what I did. , this is what it looks like.”

“Yes, yes.” At this time, the host was straight and nodded, and there was quite a bit of what Li Qing said was what it meant.

Li Qing was a little helpless when he saw this, and didn’t say anything more.

Then Li Qing looked at the peach tree again, it was just an ordinary peach tree, and when digging down, it still had roots, it was not fake.

After eating in the morning, the shepherd boy was about to drive the cattle home. Li Qing walked with him, and at a fork outside the village, Li Qing broke up with him.

Before the shepherd boy left, he asked Li Qing on the back of the cow: “Benefactor, I don’t know your name yet? What’s your name?”

Li Qing smiled and remembered After reading yesterday’s poem, he opened his mouth and said, “You can call me Peach Blossom Fairy.”

“Peach Blossom Fairy? Okay, I get it now. ”

The shepherd boy nodded left, and the flute sounded on the back of the cow.

Looking at the shepherd boy who had gone away, Li Qing turned around, and Little Zhu found the peach branch yesterday. He has to search carefully.

What Li Qing didn’t know was that after he and the shepherd boy left, the host’s courtyard was already crowded with people, and there were more people than yesterday.

Looking at the peach tree in the courtyard, someone said:

“This peach tree doesn’t look like an ordinary peach tree, it’s nothing strange. “

The person next to him said, “It’s an ordinary peach tree, but how can it grow overnight? Xiao Luzi was bitten by a snake yesterday, and I was there, but I didn’t see him at that time.” “

“Yeah, this peach tree doesn’t look like it was dug up, it’s deeply rooted like it’s grown by itself, but how could it grow out overnight.” “Someone said.

The reason why these people are talking like this is that the owner told others about the peach trees growing in the courtyard after Li Qing and Xiao Luzi left. And he also said that he saw Li Qing planting a peach branch last night, which is why these people don’t talk about it.

Someone said: “Hey, according to what you said, that person is an immortal, Why doesn’t I look like it, a peach tree grew out of thin air, but what if the peach tree grew by itself. “

“Don’t believe me, that person saved Xiao Luzi yesterday. Xiao Luzi has become like that. He took a medicine pill and jumped all over again. This is not what immortal is, you guys.” Who has seen such a powerful means, I have never seen it. “

“Hey, then you say he is immortal, who saves people and grows peach trees, so what kind of fairy is he?” “

“What fairy? If you want me to say, it should be the peach blossom fairy, or the peach blossom fairy around our village. At this time, an old man said very firmly, and everyone else looked towards him after speaking.

This old man was one of those old people he saw in the shade the day before yesterday. As for Lu Zi, seeing today’s peach trees again, this old man “suddenly realized”, thinking that this is the peach blossom fairy who has shown his true body and came to their peach blossom village.

The day before yesterday After talking about it, the people around believed the old man’s words. Besides, the old man was a highly respected person in their village, and what he said was very important. It seems that this is really a peach blossom immortal coming to their peach blossom village. , thinking of this, everyone was a little excited.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and everyone left for lunch, but in the afternoon, there were more people in this hospital, all of them After listening to the people in the courtyard in the morning, other people in the village also came to see.

When I saw the peach trees that appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, and heard several other things, this At that time, the whole Peach Blossom Village believed that Li Qing was the Peach Blossom Fairy. At this moment, the whole Peach Blossom Village people were excited, and at the same time they were a little nervous.

But Li Qing said , he and Little Zhu had been searching in the peach blossom forest at noon, and did not go back. When he returned in the evening, he felt that the surrounding air seemed to have changed.

Walking in the village, Li Qing Greeting the gazes of one person after another, these gazes are reverent, pious, suspicious, and fearful. Some people even kneel down on the street for him, while others hide behind their own doors and peep at him.

“What’s going on here? “Li Qing was puzzled.

When she walked to the hospital where she was staying, there were already more than a dozen old people sitting in it, each older than the other. They were all highly respected elders in Taohua Village. Two of them were The person who asked Li Qing that day.

Seeing Li Qing coming in, the dozen or so old people were helped up one by one. Village, welcome the birth of Peach Blossom Immortal, we will do it one after another. ”

Li Qing heard this and laughed, he heard it, the feeling is that these people regarded him as a peach blossom fairy.

At this time, he thought about what he had done these days, If it wasn’t for his family’s knowledge of his own affairs, Li Qing would think that he is really that peach blossom immortal, which is too coincidental.

“Old man, you may have misunderstood, I am definitely not a peach blossom immortal. “Li Qing said at this time.

Li Qing said he was not, but these people didn’t think so. Hearing Li Qing said no, all the elderly believed it even more.

Seeing that the explanation was useless, Li Qing had to go back to his room first, and he would be fine after a couple of days.

At this time, seeing Li Qing leaving, only their backs were left, and an old man spoke. An excuse has been made for Li Qing: “Since immortal is tired today, we will leave first, come back tomorrow, and invite immortal to see you. “

After speaking, these old people left. After a while, only the host was in the courtyard. Thinking of the peach blossom fairy living in his house, the host was excited and scared, for fear of neglecting Li Qing.

Not long after everyone left, Li Qing and the host family sat at the dinner table to eat.

Facing Li Qing, the host family no longer dared to give Li Qing the way they did two days ago Toast, for fear of annoyed immortal, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little calm.

Li Qing released Little Zhu and poured him a bowl of wine to drink. In the eyes of the owner, there is another meaning: “It’s not the peach blossom fairy, in this world, besides immortal, there are birds that can drink, and this bird is probably the mount of immortal. “

Thinking of this, the host is even more frightened, and thinking of the scene of the past few days, he thought, don’t neglect immortal, really, why didn’t he recognize it at first.
