During the Republic of China, warlords divided their territories and competed for the world. Although there is a decree of the national government to unify www.biquge.info the whole country, the warlords in various places are fighting for their own affairs, and the people of the world are not happy. There are countless corpses and bones in the wilderness by the roadside, and human life is as humble as grass mustard ants. These are troubled times.
A suburb of the National Government of Nanjing.
"Quack, quack"
The desolate and gloomy country lanes are in early autumn, and the trees on both sides of the road have dried up prematurely. Crows as black as ink fell in flocks on the dead branches, screaming hoarsely at the rotten air, and the sound was like a mourning eulogy, which was terrifying.
Bang!
The sound of a wooden bang suddenly sounded, from far and near, and gradually, even the crow on the dead branch stopped when the sound sounded.
The sudden silence made the already desolate country roads all the more terrifying in the evening, and the unknown seasonal breeze blew and rattled the dead leaves on the ground.
Looking from afar, at the end of the strange road in the countryside, a thin figure walked slowly, he held a wooden pole in one hand, and the previous sound of the pole came from above, and his other hand held a bamboo pole, on which he carried a piece of cloth, and a big word was written on the white cloth: Dao
The figure was very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and his thin clothes swayed in the autumn wind, and they were extremely ill-fitting, and the dried blood stains on them were enough to show that this would be a piece of clothing that had been ripped off the body of a dead man.
"The world is clear, the righteousness is vast, the auspiciousness is avoided, and the public opinion can be calculated. ”
The figure stood on the country road, his eyes fell on the only Zhuangzi on the side of the country road, his eyes burst out with a light that was impossible to look at, he raised his neck and shouted, and his clear and neutral voice was like a whirlwind, which swept the world in an instant.
The gurgling sound of the Five Organs Temple made Nie Yun ignore the pain of the blood blisters on the soles of his feet, and he was like a brute bull with a stroke, running straight and without hesitation towards the Zhuangzi.
In about a few minutes, Nie Yun arrived at the entrance of the village, and as far as the eye could see, the village was very ordinary, with low and dilapidated houses scattered and scattered, mostly walls made of mud, and the roofs were neatly paved with a layer of dark tiles, and most of the houses had steep ridges, like big herringbones.
However, to Nie Yun's relief, among the low-rise houses, there was a red brick and tile house standing in the best part of the village. And this house benefits from the topography, which is even more dazzling in this village.
Looking at that magnificent house, Nie Yun's heart was excited, sleeping in the open air, trekking through mountains and rivers for such a long way, finally let him see hope, the hope of being able to eat well.
"The world is clear, the righteousness is vast, the auspiciousness is avoided, and the public opinion can be calculated. ”
Nie Yun stood in front of the vermilion gate and roared, then stepped forward and grabbed the iron ring in the mouth of the lion on the door panel, and knocked it twice.
After knocking, Nie Yun waited quietly at the door, listening to the footsteps approaching quietly inside the door, and the incomprehensible muttering to himself, he would smile silently.
The vermilion door slowly opened a crack, and from that gap, a figure came up, and the figure's eyes looked out through the crack in the door, and when he saw a handsome and thin young man who was about twenty years old and had a very ill-fitting clothes, the man inside breathed a sigh of relief.
Squeak... The vermilion gate opened.
"Who are you, what are you knocking on my door?" the man asked with a fierce first sentence when he opened the door.
Nie Yun took a look at it, this person looked ordinary, not evil, nor wealth-gathering, so he smiled slightly and said, "I am a Taoist priest and a Xiangshi." ”
"Oh?" The man was obviously surprised, and glanced at Nie Yun obliquely, except for the Taoist character on the banner, there was nothing like a Taoist priest in other places. So he said with some contempt: "Just you, still like a scholar, I think you want to die!"
"Let's go, we don't need any bullshit Taoist priests in our family. As he spoke, the man was about to push Nie Yun away and close the door.
Nie Yun was unmoved, dusted off his clothes, and said, "Your master has been having a bad time recently, and he has even broken a lot of money. ”
The man was suddenly startled, and looked at Nie Yun with some incredulity, only to see Nie Yun smiling and standing there quietly, although he was thin and small, he had an ethereal aura permeating him, which was impressive.
"You...... Are you really a scholar?" the man asked again uncertainly, and he didn't care at all about the fact that he had just yelled at the boy and told him to go away.
Nie Yun was silent, smiled silently, and nodded slightly.
"Master, wait a minute, wait for me to go and tell the master. The man saluted slightly, and when he saw Nie Yun nodding, he hurriedly ran to the courtyard.
After a while, I saw two people gradually coming from the courtyard, one of whom Nie Yun naturally knew, the person who had just gone to tell him. The other one was very raw, it was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, and I saw that the person who opened the door before kept talking next to the middle-aged man, and with respect, I thought it should be the owner of this house.
"Hello master!" The middle-aged man bowed his hand before he arrived at the door, not caring at all about Nie Yun's dirty clothes and slightly young face, and said while saluting: "Contemptible Fang Wanshan, I hope the master will forgive me." ”
Nie Yun looked at the middle-aged man carefully, with a high forehead and a straight nose, a wide and round ground, and a ruddy face, he should be a person with a generous personality and a person who is completely wealthy. It's just that there is a faint black aura at the center of his Yin Tang eyebrows, which is a sign of bad luck.
Nie Yun replied: "Mr. Fang doesn't have to be polite, in Xia Nie Yun, I hope don't be surprised if you are disturbed." ”
"Where, where is Master Nie able to come to our house, Fang Mou is still happy and too late, how can he be strange. Fang Wanshan waved his hand, then made a leading gesture and said, "Master Nie, please." ”
Maybe there are too many worries these days, Fang Wanshan also has some panic in his heart, as the saying goes, go to the doctor in a hurry, Fang Wanshan doesn't care about the other party's age at the moment, even if the other party is a liar who cheats to eat and drink, he doesn't care about being able to make a good fate.
Besides, I heard that the housekeeper said that this person still has some skills and can know that he has not been going well recently, so Fang Wanshan still has some expectations in his heart.
Walking through the courtyard, Nie Yun followed Fang Wanshan to the front hall, at this time a table of wine and food had been prepared here, and there was a maid waiting beside him, obviously Fang Wanshan had made all the preparations before greeting him, and it also showed that the other party's situation had reached the point where it was imminent and had to be solved, otherwise he would not have a big feast without knowing the other party.
"Master Nie, please be seated. Fang Wanshan led Nie Yun to sit down and said, "Time is in a hurry, and the food and wine are not good, so I hope the master will not dislike it." ”
Nie Yun looked at the sumptuous meal, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, resisted the urge to pounce, and said, "Mr. Fang is polite. ”
Devouring a meal, Nie Yun never felt that eating was so happy, a few days of sleeping in the open and eating a root of grass, so that he had forgotten what meat tasted like.
It turns out that the meat is so fragrant.
Fang Wanshan looked at Nie Yun's eating appearance, and began to regret a little in his heart, although the housekeeper's words made him have a good impression of this young young man, and he also happened to be annoyed by the things of the past few days, so his mind was hot and he was carried away.
Now that he calmed down and thought about it, the more Fang Wanshan looked at it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him didn't look like a master of Xiangshi, but rather seemed to be here to cheat and cheat. As for being able to say that things have not been going well for him in the past few days, it may also be guessed.
Thinking of this, Fang Wanshan couldn't help but feel a little lost, and at the same time, he couldn't help but want to laugh at himself for being a little too anxious to seek medical treatment.
"I don't know what family Master Nie inherited?" Fang Wanshan couldn't help the loss in his heart, and asked tentatively.
