Chapter 36: Qionghua's Thief
Wu Gang rolled up his sleeves and looked at the drunkard old man in front of him and said, "Say, what's more?"
The drunkard old man smiled: "Let's tell the story." ”
Wu Gang said strangely: "Tell a story? Are you a child? Do you still want to listen to a story?"
The old man took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Every story is the taste of life, either bitter or tasteless, but the taste can only be tasted by listening." No matter how good the wine is, it can't compare to the taste of a story. ”
Wu Gang smiled: "Okay, let's say, what do you want to hear?"
The old man changed his comfortable position and lay down and said, "I don't know what I want to hear now, you can show me a paragraph." ”
Wu Gang laughed and said, "Okay, you brought this on yourself." ”
There was a butcher who had no name, and although he was very young, the villagers still called him according to the custom of calling his father.
Every day, he kills pigs and sells meat in the vegetable market at the head of the village, and his knife is so sharp that most of the pigs he kills die without pain.
The villagers praised him for his swordsmanship, and the young butcher only smiled modestly.
There was a girl who came to him every five days to sell pork, and she was so clean that she didn't look like the daughter of the village at all, but like a girl from a rich family.
On the fifth day, the butcher set up his stall early and waited for the girl's arrival, and every time the girl came, she said a lot to the butcher, most of them were strange things, and the butcher had never heard of them, but the butcher didn't really care very much, he only cared about the girl in front of him.
The butcher has always liked this girl, but first, he didn't dare to propose marriage, for fear that his butcher's identity would not be looked down on, and secondly, the people in the village didn't know the origin of this girl, and they all said that they came from the next village to buy pork.
When he was a child, he heard the old master in the village say that there were many demons and monsters in the outside world. The butcher is worried that this girl is also transformed by a monster, but the love in his heart is getting stronger and stronger. One night, he decided to propose to the girl.
The next morning, the fifth day of the girl's meat, she did not come.
The butcher was anxious, and closed the stall early, ready to go to the next village to look for the girl.
In order to defend himself, he brought his own pig-killing knife, and as soon as he walked to the next village, he saw the girl sitting on a sedan chair, covered with a red hijab, and wearing heavy makeup, which was more beautiful and moving than before.
The girl is going to be married, but the butcher who she will marry does not know.
He stood aside and looked at the girl stupidly, and the remorse in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The butcher asked the man who was watching the excitement, and the man said that the girl was going to marry the mountain god of the mountain, and if she didn't, the mountain god would come down and eat up all the people in the village below.
The butcher was anxious, he had seen a young sister marry the mountain god when he was a child, and this matter had always been a shadow in his heart, and now the girl he liked also suffered this kind of misfortune······
He picked up the pig-killing knife, strode forward to stop the sedan chair, and stretched out his hand to pull the girl out.
The people around were shocked and tried to stop it. But the butcher's knife was sharp and bright, and everyone just gathered to the side, not daring to step forward.
Someone recognized the butcher and advised him not to do stupid things.
The butcher said that every ten years, a young girl would be chosen to marry the mountain god, but there was still a famine in the village every year, so what was the use of the mountain god.
He took the girl's hand, looked at the mountain in front of him, and gave the girl a gentle look. The girl was not afraid in the slightest, and after the butcher appeared, the firmness in the girl's eyes was like a golden stone.
The butcher took the pig-killing knife in one hand and the girl in the other, and went up the mountain.
The village where the butcher was located also knew about this, and united the people of the two villages to discuss the next attack of the mountain god.
They discussed it for a long time without any results, and their hearts were filled with fear.
The sky gradually darkened, and the mountain stood beside the two villages like a fierce and cruel giant.
In the middle of the night, the roars of various beasts came from the mountains, but then the roars were gradually suppressed by an even more ferocious and violent voice.
The people of the two villages were terrified and did not sleep all night, and the next day, some brave young men with wooden sticks wanted to go to the mountains to see what was happening.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw two red figures, one a butcher covered in blood, and the other a girl in a big red robe.
The butcher's hand, on the other hand, had a strange head, with two horns, and a face that was indistinguishable from that of a man, but a mouth full of fangs.
The butcher threw his head at them, laughing and saying that the mountain god had been ambushed, and that there was no need to take a detour to the county seat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher and the girl disappeared into a white melon. The young men were curious to see the scene in the mountains, but found the bodies of the butcher and the girl, and the blood-stained woods around them.
It turned out that night, the butcher and the mountain god fought together, and the girl had actually loved the butcher for a long time, but the people in the village had already regarded her as the daughter-in-law of the mountain god, so they did not tell about their love for the butcher.
That night, the butcher killed the mountain god and his minions, but he himself was seriously wounded. And when the butcher stopped her sedan chair, the girl had already decided to go with him for the rest of her life······
Wu Gang finished telling the story very calmly, and the drunkard old man didn't speak for a while, and then said: "Eh... The story... I don't know what to say. ”
Hearing the old man's answer, Wu Gang pointed to the drunkard old man's nose and laughed: "Hey, don't you understand? I just made it up, anyway, it's over when it's touching." ”
The drunkard old man was speechless for a moment, he didn't think this story was very touching, but he felt that the butcher was quite bold, and he actually fought with the gods with a mortal body for a girl, which was quite fierce.
Wu Gang said: "Okay, you should let me pass, really, how can my good young man be in the same room with you old man." ”
The drunkard old man was helpless, waved his hand and said, "Okay, count you over." Let's go. ”
He was just about to wave Wu Gang away, when he saw Wu Gang looking at his wine jug and said, "Hey, you gourd, you haven't finished drinking it for so long, I'm afraid it's not a magic weapon, right? ”
The drunkard old man hurriedly hugged the gourd in his hand, and saw Wu Gang reach out and grab the gourd like thunder, then turn around and stride towards the gate in front of him.
"The gourd will return me!" The drunkard old man was startled and hurriedly rushed towards Wu Gang, and saw that the clothes on Wu Gang's body instantly turned into a white robe, and the gossip behind the robe emitted a dazzling light, which directly stunned the old man.
By the time the drunkard old man came to his senses, Wu Gang had already teleported out through the gate, so he had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and said: "This disciple even grabbed the old man's things, and the clothes on his own body turned out to be a magic weapon?"
Wu Gang was the first to walk out of the trial hall very proudly, and the moment he just went out, the gossip on his body changed back into the clothes he wore just now.
Hey, the clothes you bought on the fairy blue star are really easy to use. Wu Gang thought very proudly.
There has been no way to take off this dress since the last time it was worn on him. However, when he flew to Earth, Wu Gang thoroughly studied some of the functions of this clothes. Now it's a bit of a hit.
Senior Brother Qionghua watched Wu Gang come out, and he was very shocked, he probably didn't expect that the first one to come out was a very inconspicuous-looking character.
Wu Gang ignored this stunned, proudly thrust the wine gourd into his waist, and stood aside waiting for his companion to come out.
He saw that this wine gourd was definitely a storage magic weapon, but he didn't know how many things could be contained, so let's do experiments later.
As for the drunkard old man, if he comes to ask for a gourd, Wu Gang will definitely not give it, can he still give it to people?
Soon, Li Xiang and the three of them also walked out, Li Xiang had an unfinished expression, and he didn't know what strange illusions he saw.
Zhang Wei raised his glasses very calmly, and said to Wu Gang very contemptuously: "This illusion is too fake. ”
Wu Gang shrugged his shoulders, he estimated that Zhang Wei directly found a flaw in the illusion, and walked out easily.
After another half a day, the senior brother didn't know where to take out a stick of incense, and there was only a little bit of incense left before it was about to be burned, so he said, "It seems that this year's disciples are these four people." ”
With a wave of his hand, the remaining apprentices appeared out of thin air in front of the Huangliang Palace, and they looked at the scene in front of them blankly, as if they had forgotten who they were.
The senior brother snapped his fingers and woke everyone up: "Okay, the trial is over, you can go!"
Those people showed remorse on their faces, but they didn't say anything and left silently.
After all, Qionghua Wonderland, if you haven't had it, you haven't had it, if you go wild, the way down the mountain may not be very good-looking.
The senior brother turned his head to look at Wu Gang and said, "Monkey, arrange a place for them to stay, and start teaching them the immortal method tomorrow." ”
A man in a Taoist robe walked over, the man was thin and tall like a bamboo pole, and they all had the urge to take this person in their hands and break it when they saw Wu Gang.
This person said to Wu Gang and the four: "Okay, come with me, the disciples who are starting out have a unified accommodation area, and only after practicing the immortal method to a certain level of cultivation can they practice with us, tomorrow morning, I will teach you the immortal method." ”
Wu Gang was noncommittal, anyway, he didn't care what was taught, he just came to get the treasures, and he didn't look down on the rest.
The man, who was called a monkey by the senior brother, took the four of them to a house near the mountain gate and said, "Take any one, and you will have a good rest today." ”
When he had finished speaking, he turned and left, as if in a hurry.
Li Xiang sneered: "Hey, the immortal cultivators are really busy enough." ”
Zhang Wei said calmly: "You can't say that, you can cultivate immortals, you have a lot of time, of course, you have to hurry up and do what you want to do." ”
The two of them are extremely yin and yang, maybe Li Jian's impression on them is not very good, so they preconceived that this monkey senior brother is also extremely cold.
Wu Gang smiled and said, "Hey, what do you care about him so much? Didn't you listen to him, rest well, we have activities tonight." ”
Li Xiang and Zhang Wei both knew what Wu Gang was thinking, and suddenly walked to a room with Wu Gang to sleep. Yuan Tianrou looked at their appearance and knew that the three of them were going to start moving for Qionghua tonight. Just sighed helplessly, she didn't like the things here. But why did Wu Gang and them want to empty Qionghua so persistently?
At night, four figures sneakily huddled behind the stone lion at the mountain gate, carefully observing the surroundings.
"How is it? You can sense the existence of formations in those places, right?" Wu Gang asked cautiously. Yuan Tianrou nodded and said, "I can feel it, and I am confident that I can destroy those formations without being discovered." ”
"Then what are you waiting for!Let's act! Don't waste Qionghua's grass and trees!" Wu Gang, Zhang Wei and Li Xiang said excitedly.
