Chapter 45: The Immortals of the East Mountain
"Another year, seeing the fairy, eight hands, bewildering the cowherd, one mouth, only bones. The cow barks, the fairy laughs, peels the cow's skin, takes the flesh and bones, the belly is round, and spits out white silk. ”
After singing the song, Yan Chixia's face was full of sadness and asked, "Grandma, do you understand what a seamless heavenly dress is now?"
"Understood. Grandma said meaningfully: "It seems that you have a lot of relationship with seamless Tianyi." ”
"Yes, I am from Qin, but strictly speaking, no, my hometown is outside the scope of Qin, between East and West Kunlun, and the seamless heavenly clothes come from there. This song is a nursery rhyme there, whenever the child is disobedient, the mother should not use this song to scare the child, tell him that if he is disobedient, use it to make a seamless dress. ”
"From the song, it sounds like it's not hard to make a seamless cannon. Grandma said thoughtfully, after all, the song sounds, it is so one or two lives can make one, for her, it is not difficult to be sincere. A seamless robe for a human life is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
"Yes, it doesn't sound difficult, but does Grandma know why there are so few seamless clothes in the world?"
Grandma shook her head, she just knew that the seamless silk cloth and the shark silk yarn were equally famous, but not to mention the seamless heavenly clothes, even if it was the shark silk yarn produced in the South China Sea of the East China Sea, she had only seen it a few times, and that thing was worn on the old demon of Montenegro. As for the seamless clothes, I have never seen them.
"In our area, there are several well-known yokai, one called the Weaver Girl, which feeds on people and cows, but it only appears in July every year, so it is not very harmful. Yan Chixia lowered her head, looked at the sleeves of the white clothes on her body, and showed a look of memory on her face: "One is called the Cowherd, which is a human bone dressed in cowhide, harming one party, and is extremely powerful, whether it is a human or a demon, it is his target, especially hates the Weaver Girl." There is also a kind called Zhao'er, which feeds on spiders, and will also abduct children, raise children into monsters, often haunt lakes and rivers, and the harm is also not small, and it is the natural enemy of the Weaver Girl. ”
Yan Chixia took a deep breath and said: "The appearance of every seamless heavenly dress means the appearance of a monster named Cowherd, and among several pieces, it means the appearance of a caller." At the beginning, the Weaver Girl was surrounded and suppressed by the Cowherd and Zhao'er, and almost exterminated, and later took refuge in the Queen Mother of West Kunlun, so that she was able to keep the group, and the Cowherd and Zhao'er were massacred, but they couldn't be killed anyway, after all, ......"
Yan Chixia showed a mocking smile on her face: "As long as the Weaver Girl does not die, as long as there are seamless heavenly clothes, the Cowherd and Zhao'er will not be extinct, and the Weaver Girl is the key to the seamless heavenly clothes, and because of this, the seamless heavenly clothes are produced very little every year." ”
Everyone present had different expressions. The female ghosts were thoughtful, Xiao Qian's eyes were full of tears, and her grandmother said with a teachable expression: "I see, it seems that Mr. Yan had a very hard childhood!"
"Students are not bitter. Yan Chixia shook her head and said: "When I was born, my mother had a difficult birth, leaving only my father and students to depend on each other, and then the students had physical problems and often got sick, and the local witch doctor told my father that he needed to recuperate slowly, especially to pay attention to trying to get sick as little as possible, this sickness gave birth to more, and it was easy to hurt the roots, and I was afraid that he would not live to be 12 years old." ”
"In July of that year, my father entrusted me to his good friend, a local hunter, my adoptive father, and sent me a large amount of silver that I don't know where to go, and my adoptive father took me with the young man and went with the caravan to East Kunlun. A few days later, one night, a cowherd appeared in a makeshift camp by a campfire in the woods, covered in blood, shoved a seamless garment into my arms, and left. Later, I learned that a newborn cowherd killed a weaver girl and snatched the seamless heavenly clothes, and the queen mother was furious and ordered the demons to hunt down this bold cowherd. Nine days later, the heads of countless cowherds were hung from trees on the side of the road. ”
As soon as Yan Chixia's words fell, Grandma and a group of female ghosts took out handkerchiefs and gently wiped the corners of their eyes. However, except for Xiao Qian, who had already burst into tears, there was not a tear in the corner of their eyes.
Yan Chixia paused and continued: "With that heavenly robe, I am no longer plagued by illness. ”
"Wait, that's not right. Cai Niang suddenly shouted: "You are a child, how can you keep the treasure of seamless clothes." ”
Xiao Qian interjected while wiping the tears on her face at this time: "Doesn't he still have an adoptive father?"
Cai Niang sneered: "How can a mere hunter be protected." ”
"Actually, it's not as hard as you think to protect the seamless gown. As she spoke, Yan Chixia pinched the sleeve of her clothes and pulled it hard, and everyone was stunned.
This dress was directly ripped off by Yan Chixia like flowing water, revealing the dull-colored Confucian robe inside.
"How is that possible!" Cainiang's eyes widened.
Grandma slammed the table and blurted out, "This is the seamless heavenly clothes?"
"Yes, that's seamless. Yan Chixia shook the white robe, and suddenly, the white robe turned into a gorgeous skirt, and then it shook again, and then changed into a long white ribbon, and finally covered her body, and turned into the original white robe, and wore it on her body at the same time.
This strange change made the eyes of the female ghosts glow, and they couldn't help but show greed. They have seen a lot of special treasures, but they are only the first time they have seen such treasures as seamless Tianyi. The seamless gown is simply tailor-made for women who love beauty.
"Seamless heavenly clothes, although they can't help you resist swords and fire, they can transform thousands of things, they can resist disease spells, and they are very difficult to destroy, and other things such as being warm in winter and cool in summer, and being able to avoid mosquitoes and insects, I won't talk about them one by one. At that time, I transformed it into a small coat, which I wore inside, and other clothes covered it, so that it naturally and easily protected this seamless natural garment. ”
"After arriving in East Kunlun, my adoptive father and I settled in a small town at the foot of the mountain, and because of the large amount of money, we lived a rich life and grew stronger and stronger. Later, he entered Kunlun by luck and became a disciple of Kunlun......"
"Wait!" Grandma suddenly changed color, the wind in the house was fierce, and the female ghosts were blown back again and again, revealing their original faces and skin outside: "You are a Kunlun disciple!"
"Yes. Yan Chixia felt that danger was coming, her expression remained unchanged, and she said: "But then I left Kunlun, which can be regarded as a betrayal of the master." ”
Grandma was stunned, the wind in the house stopped, and the female ghosts regained their previous appearances, and they fell into a mess, letting out bursts of coquettish gasps.
"Why?" Grandma narrowed her eyes, grabbed the cane tightly with one big hand, and looked at Yan Chixia carefully, her face full of disbelief.
With a big backer like Kunlun, how dare he give up so easily, and betray his master, did his brain get into the water?
Yan Chixia sighed, her face full of sadness and could not be concealed: "Grandma has forgotten the song sung by the students, the immortal on the East Mountain is the Taoist priest on the East Kunlun!"
