Chapter 361: Opening the Door and Offering the City
In fact, the reason why Zhang Jue is willing to worship the wild fox as a teacher is not all because the wild fox is a first-class figure of the gods, of course, he also has a selfish intention, that is, after becoming the apprentice of the wild fox, he does not have to continue to be a bitter city guard on the tower of the city gate, even if he eats fasting and recites scriptures all day long, it is better than pinning his head to the waistband of his pants to live.
But the wild fox didn't have the rest of his thoughts, the reason why he took Zhang Jue under the door was also to let Zhang Jue do things for him, as for what to do, he hadn't made up his mind yet.
A few families are happy and a few are worried, while Zhang Jue is secretly happy, Shi Ren feels that his head is a little big, firstly, he is jealous that Zhang Erzi is stunned that this kid has such a fairy fate, and secondly, when he is worried about whether to find someone to find a pair of pigs to go into the water when he is waiting to catch the wind and wash the dust of the wild fox.
The three of them had their own thoughts in mind, and walked all the way towards Yingtian City.
Although the city has just been ward, the buildings in the city are still intact, and the people who have not had time to escape are working under the threat of the Ming soldiers' swords and sticks, some are collecting corpses, and some are picking up the wooden beams that have been blown up everywhere.
After a few glances at the wild fox, he couldn't bear to look at it again, these people who were panicked like birds and birds were already a walking corpse at this moment, and they were called by him today, but they didn't know if they could open their eyes tomorrow.
Compared with the withered and dilapidated outside world, the residence of the Shi brothers is like a fairyland on earth, with red walls and golden tiles, carved railings and paintings.
Shi Ren saw that the wild fox was just standing outside the door and didn't take half a step forward, so he turned back and asked, "Grandpa Fairy, what's wrong?"
Zhang Jue was often called and drunk by officials like Shi Ren on weekdays, and he was happy to see him deflated at the moment, so he didn't think about speaking for him.
The wild fox frowned, and said, "I won't go in, go and invite your brother out, I have something to say to him." ”
Hearing this, Shi Ren suddenly looked embarrassed, his brother didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he originally wanted this wild fox to show a few hands at the banquet, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even want to give face to enter the door, if he ran in at this moment and said that there is a fairy master outside my brother who invites you to go out to talk, Shi Renbao will reward them with big mouths.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, the wild fox said again: "These words are related to the safety of the people of the whole city, you just have to spread the word." ”
Shi Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that this wild fox was going to defend the city for them, so he hurriedly crawled to find his brother.
In the study, Shi Ren was holding a pre-Qin ancient scroll and having fun, only to hear the door of the study "bang" and was pushed open, without thinking about it, he knew that it must be his unsuccessful brother Shi Ren, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one around him, he wouldn't have brought this noodle with him.
Sure enough, Shi Ren's big face poked in through the crack in the door, "Brother, can I come in?"
"Now that the door has been opened, what taboo do you have?" Shi Ren said angrily.
Shi Ren's big face turned red, and he saw him pacing in a few steps, and said with a little cowardice in his words: "Brother......"
Before he could say these two words, Shi Ren interrupted: "There are no fathers and sons in the army, everyone must be commensurate with their official positions, how many times have I told you, is it child's play that you are only the commander?"
was ridiculed by him, Shi Ren had to change his words and said: "Dashuai, there will be something to report at the end." ”
Hearing this, Shi Ren only felt a little comfortable in his heart, so he put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and looked at Shi Ren and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, could it be that the Tartars are calling again?"
Shi Ren shook his head and said, "Fei Ye, Hui Dashuai, I don't know if you still remember that the last general once told you about meeting immortals on the Purple Mountain?"
"What if you remember, what if you don't remember?" Shi Ren replied very casually, but soon his face changed again, and he sat up and said, "Could it be that the immortal master has descended to earth?"
Seeing that he was a little out of shape, Shi Ren was also happy, so he said: "Not only did he go down to earth, but now that fairy grandfather is standing outside the hall waiting for you to come over and speak?"
"You fool, don't invite the old fairy in quickly, quickly order someone to watch the tea and prepare the banquet, God really bless me Daming!"
Shi Ren stood up as he spoke, and was about to walk towards the outside of the study in a hurry, but when he was halfway through and turned back, Shi Ren was puzzled, but saw him pick up the bamboo slip he had read earlier from the table, stuffed the bamboo slip into Shi Ren's hand, and then trotted away outside the hall.
When Shi Ren saw this fairy grandfather who was blown into the sky by Shi Ren, Shi Ren felt that if he hadn't cultivated his qi for many years, he would definitely kick Shi Ren to Java.
The little Taoist priest in front of him with red lips and white teeth and delicate eyebrows is actually the fairy grandfather in Shi Ren's mouth, and Zhang Jue who is calling one master after another behind him, isn't this just a stunned boy who guards the city, and he really thinks that Shi Ren has encountered some Da Luo Jin Immortal.
Having said that, Shi Ren still gave a Taoist etiquette very reservedly, and said with words in his mouth: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
The wild fox just shook his head and said, "The general has misunderstood, the path I am cultivating is not one of the Daoists. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Ren was even more suspicious of his identity, so he asked, "Dare to ask what kind of path is the path you are cultivating?"
The wild fox had something to say in his heart, so he naturally didn't want to talk to him more, but went straight to the point: "What kind of Tao I cultivate has nothing to do with the general, and the general doesn't need to ask more, I came here this time to protect the people in the city and these soldiers guarding the city, I wonder if the general can listen to me?"
Although Shi Ren's heart has long defined the wild fox as a first-class charlatan, but as the so-called illness and rush to the doctor, Shi Ren has long been unable to sleep because of the matter of defending the city, although there is still a lot of surplus food in the city, and he has just repelled an attack by the Tartars, but Shi Ren knows that if he really blindly defends it like this, within half a month, Yingtian City will be ruined.
If the other party really has a good plan to ensure that the sky is safe, then he will kneel down and kowtow to this little Taoist priest three times, and he will be commensurate with the fairy grandfather in the future, if this little Taoist priest is just playing tricks on him, then even if this kid is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, Shi Mou also needs to take him to sacrifice the flag.
Thinking of this, Shi Ren only felt that Zhizhu was in his hand, and couldn't help but show a hint of pride and said, "Little immortal, it's okay to say it." ”
Just in case, the wild fox specially ordered Zhang Jue to step aside for the time being, and then whispered: "I didn't come today to have any good strategy to defend the city, but to persuade General Shi to open the door and dedicate the city." ”
