Chapter 180: The Afterriver Spirits
"You see?"
"Is this still fake?"
"Is the carp essence scary? So did you ever pee your pants in fear? The people around him quipped.
The down-and-out scholar-like man didn't care, and continued to say seriously: "That night, the back river was shining with golden light, I thought it was Chengjing's ingots going to fly somewhere, and I thought that I was desperate to stop one, and it was enough for me to read for a few years." Who would have thought that the golden light actually came out of the back river, and several things jumped out of the river one after another, and I rubbed my eyes again, and it was a golden crab, a king and a shrimp, and a golden carp jumped out of the water at the end.
When they went ashore, the crab turned into a horse, Wang Ba turned into a chariot, the shrimp turned into a coachman, and the carp essence turned into Miss Jiao in the carriage......"
"Then Miss Carp didn't chase after you? Spice up your red sleeves? The tone of the person next to him was even more joking.
"Look, I'll tell you the truth, and you don't believe it! You don't know how deep the water is in the back river? In the middle of summer, you can feel the shade when you stand by the river, and there is Baolian Temple by the river, and the sound of the Buddha is endless every day, which is the most important way to make all things give birth to aura, and then cultivate into refinement.
Those pilgrims released so many fish and turtles, but they couldn't catch anything when they fished four or five miles away from Baolian Temple. Where are all the fish and turtles? There must be ghosts everywhere that is not ordinary! The down-and-out scholar finally made up his mind.
As soon as this statement came out, the doubts disappeared a lot, and some people still quipped: "I want to believe it!" The next time you see Miss Carp, remember to keep it and bring it to open our eyes. The crowd burst into laughter.
"Yes! Is Miss Carp pretty? ”
The scholar didn't compete with Miss Carp, and changed the subject. "In this way, all the spirits turn into human forms, they are all more handsome than the other, and only those who can't cultivate at home are half-with their original forms and hideous faces. This Miss Carp dares to go on the street, naturally she is a fairy descending to earth, and she is amazingly talented! ”
Then he described to them how beautiful the carp girl was...... As long as she looks beautiful enough, who cares if she is fine or weird? The so-called, the peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. This time, no one denied him, they all listened to it with relish, and occasionally intervened supportively to modify the exquisite beauty of the carp essence.
These idlers made up the image of the heroine in the scholar's story, and the scholar was not angry.
Yun Shu whispered to the person next to him, "Who is this person?" Do you specialize in making up stories? ”
Guy next to him: "He?" Story bag Liu Xiucai", I don't read well, and my mind is full of weird stories all day long, this time I may have drunk too much and dreamed indiscriminately, so I said that I saw it with my own eyes. He also said that the phoenix girl has a leg with him! ”
"Huh? Impatiens Girl...... Who is it?? Yun Shu didn't expect to listen to a small talk, there was such a secret story, which was a bit exciting.
He said that under his book window, no one planted it, but every year it grew in the same place, and there was only one, and only one every year.
Because of the location, he paid attention and found that this impatiens was very similar to the one in the previous year, and the following year, when he looked at it again, this impatiens still felt very similar to the previous year, and he felt weird, so he drew a picture of the impatiens. In the summer of the following year, the impatiens grew again, and they were almost exactly the same as the posture, flowers, and leaves of the impatiens in the painting, but they were more lush and more delicate!
The phoenix was born in one year, and he was a god chattering, not to say that it was a god flower from the sky, and he could understand human nature, so he painted a portrait of the phoenix every year, and read to the phoenix every night.
According to him, this impatiens grew under his book window for twenty years, listened to his reading in the middle of the night, admired his talent, turned into a human form in the middle of the night, and recommended himself to the pillow! ”
Yun Shu couldn't hold back, and laughed directly without image. provoked everyone's sideways.
Yunshu coughed, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm choked by my own saliva, I'm shocked that everyone listens to the story, everyone continue, continue." ”
Everyone pouted and rolled their eyes: looking at this appearance, he is also a talent, but he was choked by his own saliva, and he was also a waste material!
The person who told Yunshu the story looked at her embarrassed appearance with a smile, and laughed if you wanted, what was there to hide?
Yun Shu covered his embarrassment and continued to ask: "Then, can someone listen to the story and go to this Liu Xiucai's house for verification, or see the paintings he painted for the impatiens one after another?" ”
"His story is amazing, and it is something that happened around him, so naturally there are good people to see, but how can there be any phoenix girl? Except for a dead and indiscernible plant, there was no grass in front of his book window. ”
"No grass?" This doesn't make sense! Yunshu was also a little surprised.
"Don't think that Liu Xiu is a diligent person, he cleans the house too cleanly, he is really lazy, and no one else cleans him so hard at home. Supposedly, not to mention the overgrown weeds in front of the window, there should be a lot of grass, moss and the like, but there is nothing, not even traces of cleaning, it is extraordinary, clean! Weird and clean! ”
"What about paintings? Where did the impatiens go? Liu Xiucai didn't say it? Yun Shu couldn't help but be hearted.
Liu Xiucai said that the impatiens were not good enough in cultivation, so in order to meet him before the county exam and teach him the key to the exam, he only accompanied him for two months. After Liu Xiucai was hit by Xiucai, the phoenix girl exhausted her cultivation and her original body withered. Liu Xiucai felt that it was his painting every year that touched the Fengxian girl, and also made her ruin her cultivation because of it, and regretted it in her heart, so she burned all the paintings. ”
"Miss Phoenix's dead?" Yunshu exclaimed.
"Spirits, how can you die so easily? Liu Xiucai said that she had re-cultivated, and if she had cultivated well, she would be able to grow up again and turn into a human form again. ”
"Well, it's not too bad." This Liu Xiucai actually attributed the results of his hard work in the cold window to a phoenix in front of the window, which is also a little infatuated.
"If you think that Miss Fengxian will come back, Liu Xiucai will not be able to wait for most of her remaining life." The man laughed.
Yun Shu came back to his senses from the story of the impatiens, and some people were still curious about the story of the carp essence, and continued to ask that Liu Xiucai: "What happened later?" So where did Miss Carp go when she got in the car? ”
"Don't say, when I saw this, I woke up most of the time, and I followed. There were a lot of people on the road, and the car couldn't go fast, I watched the car enter the night market, and Miss Carp kept looking out behind the curtain, and also stopped to buy some rouge gouache, hairpin mirrors and the like. But do you know what's the weirdest part? ”
The crowd was immediately intrigued, "What is it?" ”
"The carriage also listened to the play in front of this stage, and a handsome boy vaguely saw the face of the carp spirit, stepped forward to talk, and then boarded the carriage, and the carriage turned around and went back."
"The beautiful woman has an appointment and returns in the same car, what's so weird about this? Right, everyone? Hahaha......" someone interjected.
"Where did the carp spirit come from? Returning home in the same car? Where to go? Liu Xiucai muttered.
"You mean, the carriage and the handsome boy entered the water together?" The man was also a little surprised, the joy of fish and water is one thing, and when a person enters the water, it is only a matter of drowning.
Liu Xiucai smiled and said nothing.
"Go on!" The people listening to the story were a little anxious.
"Although the carriage entered the night market slowly, it was unexpectedly fast when I returned, and I couldn't catch up with it. Think for yourselves about the rest of the matter. ”
"Liu Xiucai, your story today is not good, there is no ending."
"I'll leave the ending to you to make up......" Liu Xiucai no longer insisted on the authenticity of this story, turned his head as he spoke, but caught a glimpse of Yun Shu's shocked smile, squeezing past everyone, "This son, tsk, it's the long Zhong Lingyuxiu, but be careful not to be abducted by the carp essence, hahaha......"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked towards the cloud tree, and just in time for the teahouse, a few more lanterns were added, and the corridor was much brighter, and everyone saw the cloud tree, and their eyes were bright.
It's one thing to listen to a story, it's another thing to be wrapped up in a story and let others look at it. Yunshu opened the fan, half-covering his face, and retreated while snorting.
"Yun Ye! I've found you! Li Gui rushed over with a crying voice. If I lose you, the shopkeeper will have to kill me. Eighteen-year-old Li Gui lost the joy of the afternoon, anxious tears fell out, sweat on his forehead, and his hair was a little messy.
Li Gui went to find the dart game, and it took a lot of effort, and when he rushed over to pick her up, it was dark, and everyone was so busy listening to Boss Jiang playing Ji Qin that they even forgot to light the lamp. Li Gui searched the teahouse three times in the dim light, but he didn't see the shadow of the cloud tree, and he was in a hurry, so he hurried back to tell the shopkeeper.
When the group arrived, Yun Shu was crowding in the backstage of the Jiang family's class waiting for Boss Jiang, how could there be her shadow up and down the teahouse?
When everyone scattered to look for her, she was talking to Boss Jiang under the tree because she was lost. Li Gui didn't give up, and after looking for a long time, he went back to the teahouse to look for it, and when he met Liu Xiucai, everyone turned sideways to look at her.
Yun Shu pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, half-covered his face, and the fan in his hand flashed a few times at Li Gui with the cool breeze, "Don't cry, am I not here?" Who's coming to me? Say as you go. "Take the opportunity to get out of everyone's sight.
actually had a master fan his buddy, and Li Gui's fright and grievances at night turned into flattery. Everyone was also a little surprised.
"Master Yun, this is not in accordance with the rules." Li Gui, who had woken up, refused to allow Yunshu to fan him.
Yunshu didn't argue with him, took the fan, and handed it to him, "Then you fan it yourself." ”
"This, this can't, your fan is precious, your little hands are dirty, don't dare to take it." Li Gui said in panic.
"It's just an ordinary folding fan, and if you are frightened tonight, this fan will be given to you." Yunshu has not yet developed the habit of playing with valuables, folding fans just to fan the wind, bought casually on the road, and spent a tael of silver.
Li Gui wiped his hand on his body again and again, and then carefully took the fan. "Thank you, Master Yun!"
"How's it going?"
