Chapter 148: Deception and Stealing Fame
Sha Li ate the breakfast brought back by Lou Qingxiao, knocked on the door of the senior brothers and sisters, and asked if he wanted to go to see the excitement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the end, only the two senior brothers thought to go and take a look, and the rest of them were out of sight and stayed here to continue to cultivate, coping with the highlight of the night that the second son said.
Sha Li ran to ask Luo Yuyan what the so-called highlight was, Luo Yuyan smiled mysteriously, and did not answer, saying that he would know at night.
After breakfast, Sha Li found that the people who came to the Taoist temple to burn incense were not more than yesterday afternoon, and they all went to the woods to see the excitement, a dead monster was nothing to fear, and it was said that the prefect would pass, and the people were even more flocking.
Luo Yuyan and the four of them blended into the pilgrims, followed the sparse crowd and walked towards the woods, the four of them changed into coarse linen clothes, but Luo Yuyan and Yun Mu were too dazzling, and they attracted attention wherever they went.
Walking near the woods, you can see a spectacular sight, both men and women, young and old, hugging each other and flocking to the woods, Shali was dumbfounded, I really didn't expect a nocturnal beast to have such a big attraction.
Walking into the crowd, you can hear the praise of the people everywhere, and the praise is about to be beautiful.
"Auntie, do you still want to come and see the monster?" Sha Li casually asked a mother-in-law with almost gray hair and crutches next to her, who was unsteady in her walking, and there was a child beside her to support her.
"There is such a big thing happening in our Shangyong City, why don't we come and see it! It's the first time I've lived for such a long time and I've taken the initiative to see a monster.,It's a novelty to think about it.。 The eldest lady said with a smile, and the teeth in her mouth were all gone.
Sha Li smiled and glanced at Luo Yuyan and them, and continued to ask, "Do you know what's going on with this monster?" We came from out of town, and we happened to pass by, and when we saw so many people walking here, we followed over to see the excitement. ”
"Eh, little girl, you don't know about it yet." A woman behind the eldest lady said in surprise. The woman's gaze swept over the sand glass, "A few of you really look at the face, this is a big event that happened in our Shangyong City last night!" ”
Lou Qingxiao leaned over and asked, "Does this sister-in-law know the ins and outs of this matter?" ”
The woman saw that several people were good-looking and spoke politely, and said proudly: "Isn't it, my second sister-in-law Guo is famous...... What's the name of a text? ”
"Deaf and clear." Luo Yuyan smiled and continued.
"Huh! That's right. This second sister-in-law Guo was even more energetic, "The neighbor next door to my house is eating imperial grain at the city gate, and I listened to him about this matter, which is absolutely credible." ”
"Then tell me about it." A lot of people gathered around Guo's second sister-in-law, and when they heard that Guo Er's sister-in-law knew the news, they all gathered around.
Guo's second sister-in-law said with a smile: "The prefect is looking for this Chen Zhenren who is said to be famous!" There are countless demons and monsters that have been killed, and I heard that the immortal elders of Guixu Island and the Mountain Gate have to be polite when they see him. ”
Sha Li couldn't help but laugh directly.
"Little girl, don't believe it, the prefect said." Guo's second sister-in-law hurriedly said, "As soon as Chen Zhenren arrived in Shangyong City, he was invited by the prefect to be a distinguished guest, and when he learned that he was going to kill the demon last night, he deliberately took the official to send it to the city gate, and said, 'The city gate will not be closed tonight, welcome Chen Zhenren's triumphant return', the prefect really didn't close the city gate, it happened to be the night of my neighborhood." ”
Guo's second sister-in-law said decently, and the people around her couldn't tell the truth from the false, so they nodded again and again.
"My neighbor came back early this morning, and I asked how last night was. The neighbors said at the time that the monster was dead and was killed by Chen Zhenren, and the prefect wanted to celebrate in the city today! Guo's second sister-in-law said, "I just asked what happened?" It turned out that Chen Zhenren came back in the second half of last night, and the clothes on his body were torn at that time, saying that it was a vicious battle with the monsters, and finally Chen Zhenren killed the monsters with a sword, and quickly came back to report the good news. ”
Shali asked, "No one saw how he killed him?" What if someone else kills him? ”
Second sister-in-law Guo felt uncomfortable with this, and clearly distrusted herself, and said with some displeasure: "Little girl, the person invited by the prefect can be fake, besides, who killed it if it wasn't Chen Zhenren?" You little girl is so strange, could it be that you are a little girl? ”
Sha Li really wanted to say that it was herself, but let Luo Yuyan pull it back, Luo Yuyan smiled and said: "We are people who are going to go to the capital to take the exam, and we learned that Shangyong City is the blessed land of Wenqu Xing, especially the Taoist temple is very spiritual, so I stopped by to say goodbye, but I didn't expect to bump into this strange incident, so I just wanted to come and see the excitement." ”
"You kid is not bad, my second sister-in-law Guo's vision will not be wrong, you can take the exam with peace of mind." Guo's second sister-in-law crossed her waist and looked like she was pointing at the country. There are many civil and official talents in this mediocre city, and even ordinary women have a kind of arrogance.
Luo Yuyan arched his hand with a smile, pulled Sha Li and walked a few steps quickly, and Lou Qingxiao and Yun Mu also followed behind him.
"It's still right that the fairy is right, and I really can't understand it with this group of people." Shali sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Luo Yuyan could see it and said softly: "In their eyes, the prefect is the sky. All they care about is whether the monster is dead or not, and it doesn't matter how it died and who killed it. ”
"That Chen Zhenren just took advantage of the psychology of the people and wanted to take the lead. Now the prefect and the people of the whole city know that this nocturnal beast was killed by him, and we have quarreled with his mouth, but we can't quarrel with so many mouths in Shangyong City, but it can get darker and darker. Lou Qingxiao said with emotion.
"Why is it so despicable!" Yun Mu didn't understand very well.
"People die for money, birds die for food, how can there be so many why. This is the human heart. Lou Qingxiao opened the folding fan, and the black hair flew away, and it seemed that he was not lightly angry.
"Can't you stop it?" Yun Mu continued to ask.
Luo Yuyan chuckled and said, "Yun Mu, rumors and people's hearts are the most terrifying. ”
Yun Mu pondered Luo Yuyan's words carefully, and Sha Li interrupted them and said, "Don't mention it again, I will be angry when I mention this, I am really afraid that I will beat him in a fit of anger." You say that his little cultivation, let alone slaying demon beasts, I guess even I can't beat it. ”
"Don't forget what you promised me." Luo Yuyan said.
Sha Li rolled his eyes: "Got it." ”
A short walk is to the place where the fierce battle was fought at the beginning. It was too dark last night, and although there was moonlight, the trees in the forest obscured most of the light, and when I saw it today, I realized how terrible last night was.
The big tree that the two of them could hug together was actually uprooted, a row of trees were cut down by the sword light, and many were smashed by the nocturnal beast, a mess, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, I really can't believe that last night's battle was so terrible.
The corpse of the nocturnal beast was exposed to the sun, and was being corroded by the sunlight little by little. The shiny fur was tangled with black-brown blood, and I could only roughly know the position of the head by the limbs, but unfortunately there was nothing left. Luo Yuyan's sword pierced directly through the Nightcrawler.
The officials were busy clearing a protruding stump at the edge, and the people who were watching the excitement were not ready to go any further, and gradually surrounded it. The smell of dirt and twigs and leaves mixed with the smell of blood in the air, and looking at the corpse of the Nightcrawler through the dense crowd, all you could see was the scarred back of the Nightcrawler.
After the official cleared the stump, the first person who walked up was a middle-aged man in an official uniform, who looked very deceitful in Shali's words. This person is the prefect of Shangyong City.
The prefect appeared on a high place, and the noisy crowd finally quieted down. The prefect said in a loud voice: "Today, the prefect invited all the people to come here just to relieve the fear in their hearts in recent days. Behind me is the corpse of that monster, and from now on, Shangyong City can live in peace again. ”
There were loud voices of applause from among the people. Sha Li and the others hugged their arms, Luo Yuyan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and applauded with the people, and several people looked at Luo Yuyan with just the right interest, and also patted twice.
"The hero of this killing demon beast is none other than Chen Zhenren. Chen Zhenren is a modest person, and he really can't shirk my invitation, so he walked with me so far, both in cultivation and in mind, he is a model for the world. Chen Zhenren works for the well-being of the people of Shangyong City, and I also want to thank Chen Zhenren in front of all the people. ”
After the prefect finished speaking, Chen Zhenren finally appeared on the stage, and he flew up. Chen Zhenren looks good, at this time he has changed into a clean robe, holding a sword in his hand, if people who don't know the truth see it, they really think they are some powerful person.
Chen Zhenren appeared on the stump, which caused a burst of cheers from the people, and some girls were still shy, Shali held her heart, and she didn't know what else to say except sighing.
Chen Zhenren pretended to be and said: "This matter is not worth mentioning, but the prefect said that this matter is for the well-being of the people, and Chen is not talented, so he really can't afford it." ”
"Chen Zhenren, don't be modest, killing this demon beast is already amazing, Chen Zhenren saved the people of our city, this is a great merit." The prefect sang and made peace with him.
The people followed the coaxing, and Shali followed to the stomach.
Shali rolled her eyes and asked, "Can I go up and hit him?" ”
Luo Yu smiled and said, "No, don't you think it's very interesting?" ”
Sha Li had nothing to say, he looked at Lou Qingxiao and Yun Mu, the two of them had the same expression as Sha Li, looking at Luo Yuyan together.
"Jade Yan, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Lou Qingxiao couldn't help it, "This is applause and applause, I don't know if I thought you were really here to cheer." ”
"I'm really here to cheer." Luo Yuyan said calmly, "Come and applaud together, be happy." ”
“……”
The four of them applauded with the people, and the prefect on the stump spoke again: "Tonight, we will hold a song and dance celebration in the Water Pavilion, and we will set up a longevity card for Chen Zhenren, and everyone is welcome to run and tell each other to cheer." ”
Sha Li was stunned for a moment, and asked Luo Yuyan with a bitter face: "You don't want to go tonight, right?" ”
"Naturally, I want to hold it." Luo Yuyan nodded.
"Forget it, then I won't go." Shali is ready to pick a pick.
Luo Yuyan said again: "Not only to cheer, but also to watch a good show, the disciples of the mountain gate are going to go, are you really not going?" ”
"That...... Let me think about it......" Shali said. (To be continued.) )
