The old man didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he was slightly stunned at first, and then pulled him into the woods by the roadside, pointed to the most luxuriant big tree and said, "It's on that treetop, little offspring, you be careful." ”

Youshu put up a pergola and looked up, and saw a coarse cloth wrap hanging on a branch at the top, and a group of monkeys squatting among the branches and leaves to play and play, and grinning at the people under the tree, smashing wild fruits, as if demonstrating.

"This bunch of cunning is lawless! Gathering here all day long to rob the road is more ruthless than the mountain bandits. The old man sighed helplessly.

Youshu didn't comfort him, so he hugged the trunk and slowly rubbed it up. Sensing the threat, the monkeys jumped and screamed in place, and when they could not get rid of him, they began to shake the branches in an attempt to make him fall. Youshu's wilderness survival skills have long been full, and she is not afraid, so she climbs to the top in three or two and takes off the package.

When the monkeys saw that the loot had been taken away, they opened their mouths and let out a sharp hiss, and they ran over one after another to pull Youshu's clothes and pants, and some even jumped on his back and pulled his hair. Youshu was good when she went up, but now she has messy sideburns, disheveled, and looks very wolf.

But he was neither afraid nor angry, he just steadied his hands and feet and slowly slid down. Monkeys are the most vengeful animals, and if you ignore them, they will go away on their own after a while. On the other hand, if you try to resist, or if you injure one of them, they will attack them in groups, and if you grab one bite or another, they will soon be covered in bruises and miserable. What's more, this is an ancient place, and the level of medical care is very low, and if you accidentally get infected, it is a dead end.

Therefore, Youshu just dodged and did not take the initiative to attack. The monkeys poked him a few times, ripped off his headband and pants, and ran away with a squeak. When she landed on the ground, Youshu's pants had slid to the crook of her legs, revealing the small boxer shorts inside.

The old man had never seen such trousers, so he always stared at them. Youshu didn't feel ashamed or shy, so she handed him the package first, and then generously lifted her pants and fastened her belt.

The old man hurriedly thanked him, and finally stuffed the oil-paper-wrapped nest head into his hand.

If you're on the road, you must destroy it as soon as you find it, and don't even think about saving it for the next meal, because God knows if you have the next one. Following the experience of the previous life, you Shu ate the wowotou in three or two bites, put her left hand on her chin, catch the residue that accidentally fell, and pour it into her mouth after eating, so as to ensure that there is no waste at all.

The old man kept staring at the young man with scrutinizing eyes, and nodded silently when he saw this scene. When the boy was about to leave, he feigned stumbling and ripped the package open.

A few silver ingots rolled down to Youshu's feet, emitting a dazzling light under the sun, and at first glance, there were hundreds of taels, which was enough for the poor to spend for decades. Youshu was unmoved, picked up the silver with a very flat expression, handed it back to the old man, and then said goodbye again. For him, food is the most precious thing in the world, and gold and silver cannot be eaten, so what is the use?

"Good, good!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled, stretched out his hand to stop him, "Little friend, don't be busy walking, listen to the poor Dao." Although you have dragon qi to protect your body, you are not foolproof. ”

Youshu was originally not interested in his words, but when she heard the last sentence, she turned her head and looked back, her eyes full of vigilance.

The old man hurriedly reassured, "Don't be afraid, the poor road will not hurt the little friend." As soon as Xiaoyou left the city gate, Poor Dao already saw that you were a person from outside the world. Although people outside the world walk in this world, they are not involved in cause and effect, which can be said to be unique, and Xiaoyou has a great opportunity, and he actually got a wisp of Hongmeng purple qi of the Ziwei Emperor Star, and the more evil does not invade. However, Xiaoyou must know that although this purple qi can resist ghosts, it is not very effective for demons. Demons with shallow Taoism may be afraid of you, but those who are old and have a great demon love dragon qi the most, if they can get a trace of it for cultivation, they may be able to increase their Taoism for a hundred years. Besides, Xiaoyou, your flesh and blood are a great tonic, and the combination of the two is more effective......"

Youshu interrupted him, "So, it's dangerous to go alone now, and I may be eaten by monsters at any time?" Are there any monsters in this world besides ghosts? ”

The old man nodded, "More than you think." ”

"And what are you?" Youshu's fingers shook slightly, and he shook the dagger hidden in his sleeve into his palm and held it firmly. He never thought that dragon qi could only exorcise ghosts, not demons. And for youkai, dragon qi is an extremely precious treasure like his flesh and blood. In other words, he is now a walking big tonic pill and may be eaten at any time.

What's wrong with the world? Is it more dangerous than the last days?

Youshu felt that he was unlucky, but the old man smiled heartily, "Don't be afraid, little friend, poor people are people." The poor Tao cultivates the Tao of extreme affection and never kills. After Xiaoyou left the capital, Poor Dao has been secretly following and observing, and seeing that Xiaoyou and Poor Dao have the same temperament, this is how to point out a clear way for Xiaoyou. ”

Someone is following him, and Shu naturally knows. Thinking of the secret guards sent by his master, he couldn't help but look around.

The old man waved his hand disapprerovingly, "Poor Dao has led away the people who are spying on Xiaoyou, so there is no need to worry." Although Xiaoyou raised a ghost slave, there was no evil spirit on the ghost slave, which shows that Xiaoyou has never done anything harmful. Xiaoyou is very friendly to people who live in plain life, not only is he enthusiastic about helping each other, but he is not greedy for money, his moral character is very noble, and he can't bear to hurt animals, and his heart is even softer. Therefore, Poor Dao finally made up his mind to help Xiaoyou. If you are willing, you can go up the mountain with the poor road to learn some spells, and it is also good to defend yourself. ”

People outside the world are not exposed to cause and effect, that is, they are full of evil, and they do absolutely bad things, and they do not need to be constrained by the way of heaven. Therefore, the old man will test the young man first, and if the other party is uncertain, he will let him fend for himself, otherwise he will pull him along.

Youshu is very smart, and quickly figured out the tricks before and after, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. This old man, as if, has a big misunderstanding of him? The ghost slave who followed him did not kill anyone, but the two ghost boys in front of him, the later Thousand-Faced Ghost, Concubine Lan, and the Seven Princes, had a lot of human lives in their hands, and they could all be counted as having a concubine. He didn't help strangers out of kindness, but for the sake of the nest.

Of course, if this reason is said, the old man will definitely not believe it, but will think that the young man is humble and polite.

That's it, let him misunderstand, anyway, it's himself who benefits. Thinking of this, Youshu said, "Thank you for showing me the way, and thank you here." ”

"Your name is Youshu? Okay, well, let's go up the mountain with the poor road. With a slight flick of his sleeves, the two of them had teleported into the ox cart.

Youshu's expression did not change, but she was secretly taken aback in her heart. This person really has two brushes, and he can actually use the teleportation of a ninth-level spatial ability, it seems that his previous words are not fooling me. So he temporarily put aside the desire to "eat all over the world" and followed the old man to learn the Tao.

The two of them stopped at the top of a mountain, and when they were about to enter the mountain gate, the old man pointed his fingertips at the forehead of the water ghost, and gave him a soul arresting talisman, which would burn him to ashes if he did evil.

"Whether you will be reincarnated or reincarnated in the future or reincarnate in the ghost path, it is up to you. Go down the mountain, this is not for you. The old man who changed into a robe shook the dust in his hand.

The water ghost felt the aura of the Holy Spirit around him, so he naturally didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to his master.

Youshu has lived in this nameless mountain since then, helping the old man chop wood, cook, wash laundry, and walk around in his spare time. After two months, the old man pointed out a room to him, and said, "I have sworn to heaven that I will never accept disciples again in this life, so I cannot teach you anything." Everything you have useful is there, and how much you can learn depends on your talent. ”

Youshu pushed open the door and saw that it was full of books, piled up everywhere, and there was no place to put your feet down.

The old man said, "I can only keep you for half a year, and now two months have passed, and you have to go down the mountain in four months, and you can read as many books as you can." ”

Youshu thanked him, sat at the door, and took out a book to read. Lao Dao saw that he used the pages of the book as a fan, and the fan was over, and then pulled out another book to continue, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying in his heart that this little friend is indeed kind-hearted, but he has no talent in learning, and it is just a matter of giving him a few life-saving charms when he goes down the mountain another day.

Youshu knew what the old man was thinking, and soon immersed himself in the world of books. There were many kinds of books, including talismans, formations, Taoism, and detailed records of various ghosts, all of which he had never been exposed to. Already hungry for knowledge, he seemed to open the door to a new world, and he couldn't wait to read it overnight.

After watching it for five days without sleep, Youshu finally memorized all the knowledge in her head, and the rest of the time was spent practicing and mastering. I don't know if it's because the inheritance has been broken, there are very few books that record spells, and they are not very powerful, so they are of little use to Youshu. So he devoted himself to drawing talismans for several months, and tried to make a few magic weapons, but he never tested them on demons, and he didn't know how effective they were.

On the last day, the old man was already beating his chest and regretting. I thought this was an untalented person, but I didn't expect to look away! If you can read all the inheritances and use them freely within six months, even the founding ancestor does not have this ability. I knew today, why did I make such an oath at the beginning, and I missed such a good seedling!

Repentance! The old man regretted all his intestines, and several times he wanted to change his words, but he was blocked by Youshu's words. Youshu's ideal is to eat all over the world, and in order to carry out the ideal, he reluctantly followed the old man up the mountain to learn art. Now let him stay at the Glorious Mountain Gate, that is absolutely impossible. He was tired of eating the wild game in the mountains.

Bidding farewell to the reluctant old man, he walked down the mountain, and halfway through the way, he saw a cloud of mist enveloping in layers, engulfing all the light around him. He groped in the darkness for several hours, fell several times in succession, and then walked out of the mountain gate and came to the side of the road.

The fog came strangely and receded very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the sun was shining all around, and the flowers were blooming. Youshu looked around, feeling a little weird, and looked at herself again, and couldn't help frowning. I fell so hard just now that my clothes and pants were torn with a few big holes, and my hair was messy with tree branches, and I thought I was a beggar from somewhere.

When you get to the city, you have to find an inn to stay in and take care of yourself. He walked along the official road while secretly thinking, and as soon as he walked out, he saw a group of people galloping on horseback.

"Young master, I've found you! Come back with us, the lord and the lady are already crazy! If you don't go back with us, Lord Taishou will send an official to arrest you!" The group dismounted one after another, dragging Youshu and not letting him go.

"I'm not your young master, I'm Youshu." Youshu's eyes were wide open, quite inexplicable.

"That's right, young master, aren't you called Youshu? Don't run away, Lord Taishou has already sent a message, if the lord doesn't take the initiative to hand you over, he will play the peak of the watch, and the lord will be guilty of "bending the law for personal gain and committing murder". Young master, don't be afraid, come with us obediently first, the master said that he will definitely write to the old lady and ask him to try to save you. Although the old lady has already given her a career, Yu Wei is still there, and it should not be a problem to ensure that you are safe. The man at the head spoke bitterly to persuade him.

Youshu has not yet figured out the situation, but she has gathered some information from their words. The person they are looking for is the little master of their family, who should look about the same as themselves, be the same age, have the same name, and have committed an accident, and he ran away from home.

He wanted to explain further, and as soon as he took out Hu Mo and Lu Yin, who had proved his identity, the other party said, "Young Master, you have been running away from home for six days, and everyone is hungry and thin, and you have suffered a lot in the mountains, right?" Go back with the minions, there is a lot of food waiting for you at home. ”

Youshu groped in the mountains for a few hours, during which he did not eat a drop of water, did not eat a grain of rice, and his stomach was already hungry, so he silently took back Hu Mu and Lu Yin, and secretly thought without guilt: Well, it will be the same to explain to them when you are full. Don't delay this time.

The group sneaked back to Lin'an Mansion and entered a five-entry luxury mansion, straightened up and raised his head.

Youshu was led by two little girls to a small courtyard to freshen up, dry her hair and change her clothes, and when she walked out from behind the screen, the table outside was already full of all kinds of delicious food, and the smell was appetizing. Youshu checked all kinds of dishes, and made sure that they were non-toxic before picking up the bowl and feasting, and just after a few bites, she saw a gorgeously dressed woman rush in at the door, hugged him and cried, "My son, you are back!" My mother can't eat or sleep these days, for fear that you will suffer outside. Didn't you just kill two untouchables by mistake, what a big deal, my mother will definitely ask your father to help settle the ......"

She cried and shook the boy's shoulder, but the boy was not disturbed at all, still holding the chopsticks tightly, quickly sweeping the food on the table into his mouth, and taking the time to count a few mmmmmmmmmm

Listening and listening, Youshu understands, this woman's son is also called Youshu, and she fell in love with a beautiful peasant girl before, and insisted on accepting the other party as a concubine. The girl had a strong personality and didn't want to be small, so she simply refused. "Youshu" clamored to marry her again, but was strongly opposed by her parents at home.

"Youshu's" father is the local governor, the official is not big, but the origin is not small, is the eldest son of the former Xiangguo, quite favored in the family, in the early years did not learn and no skills, participated in several imperial examinations did not pass, his father used his power to find a real job for him.

Maybe because he didn't work hard to get a qiē since he was a child, the father of "Youshu" learned from him and was very indulgent to his son. What's more, he only married a wife, and there was no concubine, and his wife was injured when she gave birth to her sister-in-law, and she couldn't get pregnant again.

He wanted something since he was a child, but he couldn't marry the girl he liked, so he ran away from home in anger, and ran to the girl's village, but he accidentally bumped into the scene of the other party's private meeting with his lover, so he fought.

In the chaos, "Youshu" accidentally punctured the lover's abdomen, and the girl jumped into the river in order to protect the lover, and she didn't know where she was washed by the water. The girl's mother happened to come to look for her daughter, and when she saw this scene, she shouted "murdered", and then grabbed "Youshu" and refused to let go, insisting on sending him to the government.

In normal times, such small things could have been settled by his parents. But unfortunately, the new Taishou of Lin'an Mansion has a gap with the Zhao family, and in order to consolidate his power, he wants to replace several Zhizhou under him with his henchmen. Tai Shouzheng had no excuse to start, and the "Youshu" murder case broke out, so he immediately issued an official document to arrest this well-known local gentleman.

"Youshu" is a cowardly bag who is strong outside and strong in the middle, breaking free from the woman's clamps and running away, not daring to enter the city, not daring to go home, so he has to go to the mountain. The family was anxious, and they searched for six days day and night, and finally caught Youshu who had returned from learning art on the side of the mountain road.

A table of dishes was eaten cleanly, and the woman was almost crying, Youshu put down the dishes and chopsticks, ready to explain to her, but unexpectedly, a chubby and rich middle-aged man rushed in, grabbed him around his neck and began to howl again, more mournful than the woman, "My son, why have you lost weight like this?" Dad's heart hurts so much that it drips blood! Dad has already written to the old lady and asked him to come to save you, even if you don't want to fight this official uniform, Dad won't ask someone to arrest you! That's full? Would you like to add more? That's not how much you eat! ”

Youshu's heart to explain was dispelled by this sentence again, and he touched his stomach and said, "Then add a little more." Sweet and sour tenderloin, braised pork, braised chicken nuggets, plum cabbage button meat, one more of the same, and others are at will. ”

"Do you still need to say it, these are your favorite foods, and you can't miss it." When the woman saw that her son had a good appetite, she smiled and smiled.

Even the taste is the same, there are two people in the world who are so similar? If the next person can admit his mistakes, he will not be able to admit his mistakes too his parents. Could it be that this is a scam against yourself? Youshu was vigilant in her heart, but she should have eaten the same, slowly testing the husband and wife, and digging out a lot of information.

The husband and wife have one surname Zhao and the other surname Wang, both of whom are from famous families. Especially Zhao Zhizhou, his father was the last prime minister, and he was just a minister for less than three years, and he was quite prestigious in the court. Although Zhao Zhizhou is not successful in studying, he is proficient in general affairs, and he has made great achievements after coming to Lin'an Mansion, and he will enter Beijing to participate in the evaluation after half a year, or he may be able to go further.

But at this juncture, his son made a big accident, so that his ten years of hard work were in vain. If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely want to hang his son up and beat him at this time, but Zhao Zhizhou was a slave, and he was reluctant to scold.

To be honest, such parents, if they are placed in modern times, are 100% negative teaching materials, but Youshu feels very kind. In the last days, not to mention friendship, love is extremely difficult to get, and even family affection has withered. His parents were okay and didn't abandon him like others, but they didn't care whether he lived or died on weekdays, they only sent him to the research institute and let him earn his own future.

When Youshu was bullied and insulted, how he hoped that his parents could come over and hold him firmly. But they didn't, not once, just stood at a distance, watching coldly. Youshu knows that they are for their own good, because the chicks under the wings of the eagle will never be able to withstand the wind and rain of the outside world, and once they go out, they will face a dead end.

But occasionally for a few nights, he will also hope to get a hug and a little warmth, so he will involuntarily attach himself to his master, and then inevitably break up.

Now, Youshu's old problem has been committed again, and he was hugged tightly by the Zhao couple, he suddenly didn't want to explain, and comforted himself, "Forget it, for their sake, I will stay for three more days, and after three days, I will definitely explain clearly, and then help them get their son back." If it's a scam, I can also find out who is behind it. ”

Thinking of this, he became more and more at ease, and actually lived in the Zhao family. was led to the bedroom of "Zhao Youshu" by the little maid, he spread out the rice paper, wrote a letter of peace to the Song family, and prepared to send the post station to Beijing tomorrow. Before going to bed, he thought about it, pressed his mental strength into his eyes, checked his surroundings, and sure enough, he found a hanged ghost outside the window.

"Help me find someone, and I'll give you a Yin Yang Vitality Talisman." He pulled out a triangular talisman from his bosom and shook it at the hanged man. The Yin and Yang Yuan Qi Talisman contains the two qi of Yin and Yang, which is a great tonic for ghosts, and taking one can be worth ten years of cultivation, and this ghost should not refuse.

"Can you see me?" The hanged man was surprised and looked left and right to make sure there was no one around.

"I have yin and yang eyes." Youshu pointed to his eyes and asked, "Yin and Yang Yuan Qi Talisman, do you want it?" ”

"Bring it to me!" The hanged man's face changed instantly, and he rushed towards the house with a narrow wind and qi, and let out a terrible howl when he touched the young man's robe. I saw a cloud of purple flames quickly envelop him, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu ghost was gone, leaving only a cloud of ashes on the ground.

Burned to ashes in less than a breath, this is the power of dragon spirits? Youshu's eyes widened, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air for a long time. It was the first time he had seen such a scene since that night, which meant that as long as he wasn't a big demon, he could kill it in an instant.

Feeling quite happy, he continued to look around, and finally found a little ghost in the crack of the bricks.

"Help me find someone, and I'll give you a Yin Yang Vitality Talisman."

"Spare your life! The small ones don't want the Yin and Yang Vitality Talisman, whoever you want to find just say, the small ones will go! "The little ghost bowed his head and sobbed.

"Find Zhao Youshu." Youshu didn't care if he wanted it or not, and threw the talisman over directly.

The little ghost thought that it was this talisman that burned the hanged ghost before he was burned, and when he got it in his hand, he realized that it was really a yin and yang vitality talisman, and he couldn't help but be very happy in his heart, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then went out to find someone, and only halfway through the journey could he think: Isn't Zhao Youshu the adult himself?

There is also a soul-searching talisman hidden in the talisman, and I am not afraid that the other party will run away and not come back. Youshu was lying on the couch with peace of mind waiting for news, and when she was bored, she picked up a history book and flipped through it casually, and then froze. When he left, it was the first year of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is the twenty-second year of Zhongkang in the Xia Qi Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty became the Great Xia Dynasty, and Emperor Zongsheng became Emperor Zhongkang, and there was a gap of more than 600 years in between.

In other words, Youshu crossed again, and she was wearing it. Right now, his mind was blank, and only one sentence involuntarily came to his mind - there is no time in the mountains, and it has been a thousand years in the world.
