Four hundred and nine, Wang Laohan

readx;

Immediately, Bai Yu said goodbye to Song Ming and returned to his room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he arrived in the room, Bai Yu naturally had no intention of sleeping, but sat cross-legged on the bed and began a boring cultivation.

At dawn the next day, the rooster crowed three times, and Bai Yu got up early, but there were few people who could get up at this time. At this time, the only one who got up was the shopkeeper of this inn.

Bai Yu settled his account first, and then walked out of the inn towards the outside of the city.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the street at this time, there are already a lot of hawkers.

When he arrived at the city gate, he first saw a few officers and soldiers guarding the city, and walked out without paying attention to them.

However, after seeing Bai Yu, these officers and soldiers felt very strange, after all, the clothes worn by Bai Yu were scholar's clothes. And now that the imperial examination is approaching, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to go out of the city at this time.

Bai Yu walked a long distance, and suddenly an officer and soldier stopped him, waving and shouting, "That Xiucai, why did you think of going out of the city?" Isn't this about to take the imperial examination? ”

Bai Yu glanced at him, but ignored it completely, and walked away.

And the officers and soldiers are completely helpless about Bai Yu, after all, although Bai Yu is not actually famous now, the officers and soldiers don't know it.

Generally speaking, as long as it is a character such as lifting people and showing talents, it is easy for people to dare not provoke. Because they don't know when someone breaks out and gets a very practical title, such as a list of flowers. That's just going to be an official. When the time comes, if the small-minded people will naturally not let go of the people who provoked them.

So such a character is very capable of eating in the current era.

When the officers and soldiers saw that Bai Yu ignored him, they could only stare at Bai Yu's back in desperation, and then returned to the same place.

And Bai Yu came to the outside of the city, which is an official road here. The road is straight, but you don't know where it leads. However, Bai Yu didn't want to take the mountain road, after all, the more people in the official road walked, the more popular they were, and they wouldn't see many demons and monsters.

For someone like him who wants to get into trouble, it's still the right way to go.

So immediately after that, Bai Yu turned to the top of the path, and the path was a wooded area where many people had walked a lot. Only a way out.

It's so sparsely populated that you don't even see a single person for half a day.

And this situation is what Bai Yu is happy to see, and he is watching the scenery around him along the way, while observing whether there are any monsters entrenched around.

However, I didn't see the white-feathered monsters along the way, and the most I saw were just some spirits with shallow cultivation. Most of them are foxes with strange abilities, or dryads and vines.

Naturally, these things couldn't get into Bai Yu's eyes, and he didn't even look at them squarely.

And these things are also very duty-bound, and there is no sign of harming Bai Yu.

This may also be bound by some rules in this world of goblins and goblins. Most of them don't want to get into trouble.

Most of them want to practice well, and when their merits are complete, they will be able to attain the path of immortality. If you are obsessed with mortal things, it will only affect your own cultivation.

If you harm human beings, you may also lose your previous achievements and fall into the devil's path.

In fact, many demons' concepts are very conservative, and in their consciousness, becoming a demon is naturally not as good as becoming an immortal. After becoming a demon, he will be given tribulation by the heavens. If you don't pay attention, you may even be wiped out.

In this way, Bai Yu followed the path all the way. It was about noon, but it was an open place.

Not far away, Bai Yu saw a simple thatched hut, and there was no other world around, only this thatched hut to sit in. It's a bit desolate.

Bai Yu looked at the hut and rolled his eyes. Then he greeted him.

Came to the door of the fence and shouted inside, "Is anyone there?" ”

After a while, only an old voice could be heard from inside, and when the door opened, only to see an old man with gray hair, about a rare age.

The old man moved his steps little by little. came to the door, glanced at Bai Yu with faint old eyes and said, "This passing Xianggong, I don't know what to do?" Are you going to enter Beijing to take the exam? ”

Although he was talking, he didn't pause in his hand, and slowly opened the fence door.

Bai Yu walked in and said with a smile: "Old man, you are right, it is true that I went to Beijing to take the exam, but I was a little hungry after I had been gone for a long time." So I'm here to bother. ”

"It's a good thing to be out of the way and be able to receive guests. There was not a single other family within a hundred miles of this, and there were not many people in a year. Being able to have a husband come to see you is a lot less lonely. ”

The old man was still a hospitable man, and he said this with a smile on his face.

When Bai Yu was welcomed into the room, he first went to the inner room and took out some special products for entertaining Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was a little embarrassed, after all, this old man was getting older, and it was really difficult for him to entertain him. So he waved his hand and said, "Old man, sit down first, I think there is only one old man in such a remote place." Maybe I'm also well-informed, I've loved to listen to some strange things since I was a child, I don't know if the old man can tell me about it? ”

The old man smiled and said: "I didn't expect Xianggong to have such a hobby, in fact, although I say that there are few people running around outside, but when it comes to weird and strange events, I have seen a lot." If Xianggong doesn't dislike it, I'll tell Xianggong a few things about my personal experience. ”

Bai Yu said happily: "That's naturally the best, if there is any strange event, the old man can just say it." ”

"I think my husband always calls me by the elderly, which is quite awkward. The little old man's surname is Wang, you can just call me Wang Laohan. The old man sat down at this time and introduced himself.

Bai Yu naturally didn't call Old Man Wang rashly, but shouted Old Wang, "Then I'll call you Old Wang." ”

Wang Laohan didn't dwell on this matter, nodded and said, "People say that if you live for a long time, you will see more." It is indeed very reasonable, my Wang Lao Han is already in his prime, and he has seen a lot of strange things. On several occasions, they almost lost their lives. ”

"Oh?" Bai Yu's interest was instantly aroused, and he said, "Then let's talk about the most bizarre thing." ”

Wang Laohan smiled: "Well, in fact, the most bizarre things are the most common in my place, and they have been with me for decades. ”

When Wang Laohan said this, his eyes began to deepen, and he looked at the two acres of thin fields outside the door. Said slowly: "In fact, in our forest, there is a thousand-year-old tree, which grows to cover the sky and the sun, which is really rare. And his singularity is also incredible. ”

"Every spring, I will go to the bottom of this ancient tree to pay homage, in order to have a good harvest in the coming year, and this ancient tree is still magically responsive. As long as I take the offerings, bring the incense, and pay homage sincerely. In the coming year, it will be a bumper harvest of grains, and these two acres of thin fields will produce four acres of yield. ”

When Bai Yu heard this, he was indeed surprised, and he also discovered that this ancient tree was not simple.

After all, he who can bless the farmers with a bumper harvest of grains, his ability can be said to be at least in the realm of Quanzhen, after all, such a thing as rain is controlled by heaven. If you don't have enough cultivation, you can't ask for it.

But in this way, this ancient tree is not a demon yet, at least he is doing a good thing.

"I wonder when this tree worked so well?" Bai Yu pondered for a moment and asked.

"Ahem," Wang Laohan coughed twice and said, "I really can't remember the time clearly, it should have been when I was very young, and I found it by accident at that time." In fact, it looks very quiet in this forest, but there are a lot of gods and monsters in it. However, as long as you figure out the Tao here, it is not difficult to live a good life. ”

Bai Yu nodded, there are some demons in the way of nature, as long as people don't provoke them, they will naturally not be harmed by it.

"I don't think it's too early, so let's go get some food first." Wang Laohan looked at the sky at this time and realized that it was not early, so he stood up and went to work for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu carefully held him up, for fear that he would slip and fall under his feet.

The problem of the meal was finally completed by Bai Yu and the old man, in fact, it was some flatbread and pickles and other things. However, the old man still had to think about stir-frying a few dishes, but what made the old man a little depressed was that he had no oil here.

In such a situation, there is nothing to be done.

Bai Yu looked at the old man really pitiful, and he was also a little sympathetic, so he smiled at the dinner table: "Old Wang, I see that you are old, I don't know if you have children?" ”

Speaking of the heirs, Wang Laohan's eyes were a little dim and said: "Originally, I had three sons, and when I was young, they followed me into the forest to hunt. But one day, I don't know which immortal family I provoked, and all of them died. Saying this, the old man was already in tears.

Bai Yu frowned and said, "There is such a thing?" ”

But it's reasonable to think about it, after all, the profession of hunters is not easy to do, and they inevitably slaughter animals from time to time. It's also easy to provoke the hatred of the demons that the animals turn into.

After all, even youkai have racial concepts, and they naturally won't be indifferent when they see their compatriots killed. When cause and effect come, it is naturally the time when these hunters die.

Presumably it is also for this reason that this old man Wang no longer hunts, but begins to farm. (To be continued.) )
