Raising the Demon

Chapter 37
Coming out of the old man's house, Zi Baifeng always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

There was something in the old man's words that touched his heart, but he couldn't grasp it vaguely.

"Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it..." Zi Baifeng shook his head, "Anyway, he will pop out by himself sooner or later."

Zi Baifeng wasn't particularly worried about jade or something. Anyway, Uncle Qingshi had more under his buttocks. Although Zi Baifeng didn't count, there were always hundreds of them, but Zi Baifeng was unwilling to give them.

Back at home, Zijian was taking care of the donkey, walking on the snow, washing and feeding, and building a donkey shed. Xiaoshi carried two puppies and led them to watch Zijian work.

"I'm back, your aunt has already cooked the meal, and I'll wait for you to come back to start the meal." Zijian put down the work in his hand, wiped his hands, walked into the kitchen, and brought out the meal after a while.

After eating in silence, Zijian sent Xiao Shitou out to play, and said to Zi Baifeng, "Baifeng, I have something to tell you... I don't know if I should say it or not."

Zi Baifeng was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise, "What? Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."

It can't be that I feel sorry for buying a little donkey today, and I plan to scold myself.

Who knew that Zijian looked up at Zi Baifeng: "Baifeng, you are a little strange these days."

Zi Baifeng's heart skipped a beat all of a sudden, what did Dad discover?Dad won't think that I'm not his son, so he doesn't want me anymore!
"I know you keep some things from me... You like to keep it from me since you were young." Zijian looked at Zi Baifeng, "You have started to associate with monsters again..."

You're with monsters again... You're with monsters again... You're with monsters again...

Zi Baifeng's head buzzed, he only felt this sentence in his ears, he was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground.

My father's tone, and the word "you", what... what's going on?Is there anything I don't know?
"You used to run up the mountain every day to read and write at Qingshi, and I never stopped you. Anyway, as long as you stay honest, I will be relieved. But since you passed out during the exam, you woke up and changed your appearance. You were like this when you were young, you were smarter than anyone else, and you had more ideas than anyone else. I told you not to associate with monsters, but you didn’t listen. These days, the blue stone has grown bigger and bigger, and it has become a monster. Bar……"

The old man's eyes were full of worry and helplessness, he stretched out a finger, and tapped Zi Baifeng's head: "Don't forget, once the monster grows up, it will make trouble. Have you forgotten the flood in our village back then?" How did it come about? Did you forget about the squid?"

Did you forget about the squid?
Forgot about the squid?

Is it a squid--

One finger of the old man was like a slap in the face, and another memory exploded in Zi Baifeng's mind. He suddenly hugged his head and groaned.

This is the way it is in this world, the more you shouldn't forget, the easier it is to be forgotten. In the corner of memory that Zi Baifeng has never recalled, the dusty memory was rediscovered by his father's blow.

When Zi Baifeng was three years old, Xingyu was born, and the Meng River flooded, flooding Zijia Village by the Meng River. Zi Baifeng had to flee with his father.

All the way, fleeing for several years, walking hundreds of miles, wandering back and forth, and finally settled down in Xiayan Village at the foot of Niaoshu Mountain.

This is what Zijian told Zi Baifeng.

However, no one knows that the flood at the beginning was not caused by the catfish. Even if someone knew, they would never dare to say it.

With the breeze blowing, Zibaifeng seemed to have returned to the days when he was three years old, under the Mt.

It was a fine spring day, with a gentle breeze blowing the willows on the riverside. The Yanghe River at the foot of Mount Zhu suddenly turned a bend, and the rapid water became gentle and clear. Zijia Village is located in such a bend.

Zi Baifeng, who was already three years old, dipped a branch into the water and wrote big characters stroke by stroke on the big bluestone in the river bend.

The words were written on the bluestone that was scalded by the sun, and before the line was finished, it was already dried by the sun, but Zi Baifeng wrote it like this over and over again.

Tired of writing, he sat down on the bluestone, stretched his white and tender feet into the river, let the river wash the soles of his feet, and looked into the distance.

Without his wife, Zijian is both father and mother, taking care of Zi Baifeng.At the beginning, Zijian had to lock Zibaifeng at home when he went out to work, but Zibaifeng was extremely smart, and after several debates with Zijian, he finally persuaded Zijian to let him go out and walk by himself, although it was limited to the village Outside the village, but the scope of activities is much wider, and it will not cause illness at home.

Zi Baifeng doesn't like to play around with those children, and always writes sentences that no one understands on this big blue stone.

Zijian didn't know that Zibaifeng had also encountered danger by the river. When he was two years old, he was writing on the big bluestone by the river. Sliding on the bluestone.

At that time, Zi Baifeng really thought he was going to die. He only remembered that water poured in from all directions and poured into his mouth and nose. Just poured it in.

That's when he found something against his waist and hoisted him up, keeping him afloat.

That was the first time he saw a squid.

Bai Shengsheng's feet swayed gently in the water, and circles of ripples rippling away from his feet, even the flowing river water could not wash away the ripples.Suddenly, he felt something itchy on the soles of his feet. Zi Baifeng lowered his head and saw a big fish with two wings in the water, kissing his soles of his feet with his mouth.

That is the squid.

According to the legend, you can see the giant fish in Dashui in Qiyi.

Since a year ago, when Zibaifeng was reading or writing on the bluestone every day, the squid was here. From being unintelligible at the beginning, it has gradually been able to communicate with Zibaifeng, but it has grown a lot. The body has also become bigger and bigger, and the biggest change is the pair of wings on its body. It was still a shark's fin at first, only slightly larger than ordinary fish, but now it has completely become a pair of wings. During thunderstorms, it will spread its wings and soar in the sky, and sometimes it will stop on the locust tree outside the wind window of Zibai.

The squid was flopping about in the water, and the water splashed one after another, splashing on the bluestone and also splashing on Zi Baifeng's body. The traces of river water were cool, and Zi Baifeng laughed happily. Spread far, far.

At this time, the squid in the river is very happy, it seems that it can make Zibaifeng happy, which is its favorite thing.

But things don't always develop in a good direction. Piyu is more and more fond of Zi Baifeng, and often falls quietly in the yard of Zi Baifeng's house in the middle of the night, quietly watching him fall asleep under the moonlight, watching him fall asleep under the lamplight. Read and write.And more and more villagers saw it, and rumors of the reincarnation of the squid spread.

Finally, one day, a fairy came. He was sitting on a cloud cart pulled by white cranes. He claimed to be a Taoist priest from Niaoshu Mountain.

Then, the haze enveloped the entire Yanghe Bay, and the squid hid in the river, and a huge wave arose again, fighting with the Taoist priest.At that moment, Yanghe Bay, which was always calm and calm, was like a raging sea, smashing the weeping willows on the bank and the boulders at the bottom of the river. The water was like an enraged beast, roaring and swallowing what could be swallowed. everything.

People fled their homes in panic, only to be overtaken and swallowed by the roaring river.The river overflowed the village and destroyed the mountains and fields. The Taoist priest of Niaoshou Mountain didn't even look down. He was standing above the clouds with a gleaming sword in his hand, only fighting with the squid.

At that time, the fish lowered its head and saw Zijian floating in the water holding a door panel, and Zi Baifeng sitting on the door panel.

The monstrous waves suddenly calmed down, and Zi Baifeng saw that the old man cut off the tail of the squid with one sword, and pierced its back with another sword.

The river water that had just calmed down rushed out like a wild horse running wild, destroying everything that could be destroyed. The Taoist of the Bird and Beast Mountain happily received the squid into the cloud cart, and floated on the white crane. away.

That is the fairy.

"Baifeng, Baifeng, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Zijian hugged Zibaifeng and yelled desperately. He remembered that Zibaifeng fell seriously ill after the village was flooded and they fled. One scene, after waking up, it was as if he had lost his soul, he was dumbfounded, and he recovered after a long time, but in the future it always seemed like there were no strings in his head, and he didn't know how to adapt to the world, it seemed that all spirituality The aura was all taken away.

"I'm fine..." Zi Baifeng shook his head, struggled out of his father's arms, touched his face, and at some point, tears were streaming down his face.

There are many things that Zi Baifeng himself remembered and strung together.

Zi's ​​father and son wandered all the way for two years, and did not settle down until they reached Xiayan Village. On the night they settled down, there was heavy rain, and there was a loud bang on the back mountain. At some point, there was a big stone.

That is the big bluestone.

That big bluestone is not any other stone, it is the big bluestone on the bank of Yanghe River, where Zi Baifeng read and wrote, and played in the water with squid.Over the years, Zi Baifeng has been reading and writing on it, and the blue stone has grown year by year, three inches each year. After ten years, it has become many times larger than the original stone on the Yanghe River.

And now, the stone is still growing, and growing faster.

"So it's not that this son, Bai Feng, has the formula for raising monsters, but that son, Bai Feng, has the formula for raising monsters... Although he can't remember many things, he must be thinking silently in his heart, wanting to let himself have the formula for raising monsters." Means." Zi Baifeng finally understood why the porcelain piece would give him a "monster raising formula" instead of a god raising formula and a demon raising formula.

Because of him, he must be raised.
