Chapter 18: Peers

was called a stupid pig by others, Xu Yan was not annoyed, scratched his head, laughed dryly, and looked a little embarrassed and helpless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Those who insult others, people always humiliate them, those who respect people, people always respect them, girl, grandfather's teachings, have you forgotten them all. ”

Cheng Yu smiled apologetically at Xu Yan, turned around and reprimanded his granddaughter, his tone was extremely stern, and his face was even more gloomy.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Cheng Linyun was finally frightened.

She left her parents to live with her grandfather when she was a child, in order to be taught by her grandfather, although her grandfather was strict with her, but most of the time he was still extremely doting, and she had never seen his grandfather's gloomy face like today.

Cheng Yu's tone at this time was clearly a high-ranking prime minister's words in the court, how could a little girl stand it.

Tears were already rolling in her eyes, Cheng Linyun didn't dare to cry, lowered her head and choked and sobbed.

These days, too many things have happened in the quiet town, so that Cheng Linyun's mind has already been chaotic with the road to heaven, with the ugly face of Taiqingjiao, and with the loud noise in the morning.

Although she is literate and hyphenated, despite her beautiful heart, in the final analysis, she is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Through the car curtain, Xu Yan saw Cheng Linyun's appearance, he blinked, and hurriedly explained: "No shame, old man, what your granddaughter is talking about is my little black." ”

Lifting the little black pig in his arms, Xu Yan said with a smile: "No one likes to walk with pigs, girls are most afraid of smelly, only those of us who are outsiders don't know the smell of fragrance, and are not afraid of smell." ”

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yu laughed and said, "I don't know the smell, I'm not afraid of the smell, the old man is taught today." ”

"Mercy, mercy. ”

Xu Yan also laughed and joked, and the girl in the carriage stopped sobbing, pursed her mouth, and ignored the little Taoist priest outside the window.

"Chengyunguan is no longer here, where are you going to stay?" Cheng Yu smiled, looked serious, and asked.

"People in the world naturally go to travel the world. Xu Yan also said with a straight face, but the next moment his little face fell: "Find some Taoist orders, you should not starve to death." ”

The little Taoist priest naturally doesn't have much Taoist demeanor, and in Cheng Yu's eyes, the person in front of him is only a half-old child.

"The old man has talked with your master many times over the years, you are Xu Daoyuan's apprentice, if you don't have a place to go, is it okay to follow the old man to Beijing?" Cheng Yu said of this pause, and said with a smile: "At least you won't starve to death." ”

Cheng Yu has indeed been to Chengyunguan a few times, but he does not have a deep friendship with Xu Daoyuan, and being able to say this sentence means that the old man does have a good impression of Chengyunguan, an old man and a young Taoist.

"Okay!"

Xu Yan agreed without thinking about it, causing the old man to laugh, and the haze buried in Cheng Yu's heart was also dispersed a little at this time.

On the official road, the carriage continued to move forward, Xu Yan was left in the first car, and the little black pig was placed by him in the second carriage specially equipped with soft bags.

"Xu Yan, in the early morning, you can see what those Taoists of the Taiqing Sect are doing in Chengyun Temple?"

On the way, Cheng Yu seemed to casually ask about the strangeness of Chengyunguan in the morning, that kind of loud noise sounded to him very similar to the explosion of the Shenwu cannon, if the Taiqing people really got the Shenwu cannon, then this news would definitely be bad news for him.

Xu Yan sat next to the old man, and opposite sat a white-haired woman, who was Cheng Yu's old wife, and next to the woman sat Cheng Linyun and two maids of the Cheng family.

Sitting in the car honestly, Xu Yan thought about it for a while and counted it carefully: "In the morning, that Scarface Daoist is gargling, Fat Daoist is eating noodles, and a few are boxing, and more haven't woken up yet, they drank a lot of wine last night, which made the hall smell ...... alcohol."

After patiently listening to the little Taoist's story, Cheng Yu's eyebrows moved without a trace, and asked, "Have you seen any strange things they use, such as the size of a bowl and the length of half a zhang...... Pipes?"

The tube that Cheng Yu said was actually the barrel of the Shenwu cannon, Xu Yan was stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally shook his head affirmatively.

"I didn't see anything strange, but there were swords, and I went out early. ”

Xu Yan's answer is ordinary, and this ordinary answer is the most real, a little Taoist priest who has nothing to do with the court will not lie, as long as it is not caused by the Shenwu cannon, even if the entire Linshan Town disappears, it is not a big deal.

Those who are in charge of the family are running for their wives and children, and those who are in charge of the dynasty are running for the world.

The vision and mood are different, what the old man next to Xu Yan sees is destined not to be the health of a family, but the life and death of the people of an entire country and the future of a dynasty.

Xu Yan's answer could not make the old man's surging mood completely quiet, the Shenwu cannon did not appear in the hands of the Taiqing people, which was the best news for Cheng Yu, but now it seems that the vision of Chengyunguan being blown into powder is difficult to connect with the turning of the earth dragon.

What exactly is the force that blew Chengyunguan into flying ashes?

Closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, the old man was still thinking about the incident of Chengyunguan, as for the little Taoist priest beside him, Cheng Yu never doubted it.

After living in seclusion in Linshan Town for six years, Cheng Yu recognized Xu Yan when he was less than ten years old, and he didn't think that a little Taoist priest who was born and raised in Linshan Town would have something to do with the disappeared Chengyun Guan and the more than 100 Taiqing disciples.

"Why didn't the pig die?"

Coldly, there was a girl's question on the side, and under this originally casual questioning, the air in the carriage seemed to freeze for a moment.

When I heard it, I thought that Cheng Linyun was alluding to why Xu Yan's pig was not buried in Chengyunguan, but the next moment, everyone in the carriage understood.

Xu Yan left the Taoist temple early and escaped the catastrophe, but he was still holding the little black pig just now.

After the Chengyunguan incident, not only was Xu Yan unscathed, but why was the little black pig unscathed?

There was a hint of danger flashing in the depths of his eyes, Xu Yan blinked, scratched his head and said: "After feeding the pigs in the morning, the pigsty door forgot to close, Xiao Hei ran too fast, and it took a long time to chase it back, the pig was found, but the Taoist temple was gone." ”

"The pig saved your life, huh. Cheng Linyun obviously hadn't recovered from his anger yet, so he snorted coldly and turned his head.

"It's a lucky pig. Cheng Yu smiled: "The intuition of animals is much stronger than that of us humans, and the time to predict danger is much earlier than that of humans, thanks to your pig, Xu Yan, it is better not to kill, or not to kill." ”

It is rare to speak for a pig, and Cheng Yu's actions are a little puzzled in the eyes of his family.

"Don't worry, old man. Xu Yan patted his heart and said, "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat Xiao Hei's!"

"If you starve to death and don't eat pigs, that's stupid. The white-haired old lady Cheng interjected with a kind smile: "Xu Yanna, your grandfather of the Cheng family is warning you not to forget your kindness, but ah, after all, it is a poultry, if there is really a day when you are about to starve to death, you should eat it, you still have to eat it." ”

The old lady's words are right, she is also the person who understands Cheng Yu the most, if she really starves to death and still has a pig, then this person will really become another pig.

Hearing the old lady's teachings, Xu Yan still shook his head vigorously, saying that he would not eat his little black pig at all, and his stupid appearance made the old couple laugh helplessly, and even the two maids covered their mouths and snickered, but Cheng Linyun still pouted, looking like he would never talk to Xu Yan again.

On the long road, the two carriages gradually drifted apart, away from Linshan Town, and away from the people, this long journey should have led to a peaceful and comfortable life for Xu Yan, but the trajectory of fate had already unconsciously reversed in an unknown direction.
