Chapter III. Sword Asks Beiyan 245.Blood is thicker than water (1)
Neon, who was lying in the longevity material, was wearing a beautiful and luxurious Suzhou embroidered maid dress, and her face was painted with light makeup, which looked unprecedented and moving; Looking at the quiet and peaceful expression on her face, it was as if she had just slept in the coffin and might wake up at any time......
Shen Gui, who was dizzy and grief-stricken, was dizzy as if he had been hit on the back of his head by a sledgehammer, and his body leaned weakly on the coffin as soon as he was planted; He didn't have the courage or strength to continue to support his body, so he could only collapse on the muddy official road with the tears that slipped down his cheeks......
The mournful music played by the drummers in his ears was deafening, and the white paper money flying all over the sky seemed to have really turned into pieces of cold and sharp snowflakes, which pierced Shen Gui's heart heavily......
From a rational point of view, there was no extremely deep personal affection between these sixteen shamans and Shen Gui, but they really died because of Shen Gui; Although from Shen Gui's point of view, he could have blamed the responsibility for this incident on the reckless Qi Geqi and Qi Lingyan couple; However, the new generation of Twelve Shamans of Lieyan came to the Nankang Dynasty because they obeyed the decree of their own Great Protector.
At least on this point, Shen is responsible.
The reason why Shen Gui arranged the twelve shamans on the fleet of the Sea Shark Gang; and arranged those winter solstice killers in Jiankang City, firstly, because although Guo Yunsong was born as a military general who has been a military commander all his life, but after all, he is old and frail now, and following the Sea Shark Gang to the sea is a knife and blood licking business, if there is a group of guards, it is far more suitable than the winter solstice killers. second, Shen Gui thinks that Lin Siwei must have a back hand, at least enough to protect himself; In addition, she has been hanging pots in the peaceful and prosperous Jiankang City all the year round, at least her personal safety can still be guaranteed.
The self-righteous Shen Gui sent a well-trained killer to an old woman who had never quarreled with anyone in her life; and sent a guard who was good at defense to a brave warrior who had never turned his back on the enemy in his life...... It is often this seemingly painless style and run-in problem that is not conspicuous in the Taiping years; But once the situation changes, it becomes an empty shelf that leaks on all sides!
It was precisely because of Shen Gui's assumptions that led to Momen's killer organization, the Winter Solstice; Two generations of shamanism, a total of twenty-four shamans, except for one of Ziegqi, who survived, have all been wiped out.
The sound of the soul-chasing gong and suona was still deafening, and Shen Gui also leaned on the edge of the neon coffin, falling into endless pain and self-blame; Zigqi, who thought that the generals were incompetent and exhausted to death, had just opened the lids of the two wooden boxes, and then collapsed on the muddy official road, his eyes widened and he was stunned......
Only Qi Yan, whose eyes are slightly red, can barely keep a clear head at this time!
He quickly moved his stiff features, then pulled out a sad and apologetic smile, walked over to the "big man" who was conducting the band, and dragged him to a relatively quiet corner:
"Thank you, sir and brothers, there is such a big thing in the family, and our brothers are also ...... for a while Hey, I'm so sorry......"
Although this older age can't talk about the word old, it can be seen from his unique skill of throwing paper money with one hand, which is obviously an industry leader with a family history and a professional undertaking of red and white things for a living.
Sure enough, the big man pushed back a gold ingot that Qi Yan secretly handed over and said:
"Little brother, you're going to break my life! When we do red things, although we hold two families in one hand, it is just to touch the joy of both parties, and the money is still second; But today's trip is in vain! According to the rules, you can only pick a piece of silver and take it! Today's white affair has been given by the silver of the yang world; If I take your money again...... Then those of us who have black hearts, can't we ask the judge to hook the soul away? ”
After listening to his words, Qi Yan raised his eyebrows a little strangely, but he didn't delve into this trivial matter:
"Yes, yes! There was an accident in this house, and I was also dizzy for a while! All the gentlemen in the house have always been strict in their work! In our ten miles and eight towns, who doesn't know the name of Mr.! ”
"That's it!"
Qi Yan's words were directly praised in the other party's heart. Most of the people who have such a family background and have outstanding abilities have a strange temper; So for such a person, if you bring him a few high hats, he may directly overturn the car! But if you change the way and tout the ancestors of his family instead, it will become a tried-and-true angle of entry.
Next, this feng shui gentleman who was opened by Qi Yan blew it from the sky to the ground; Anyway, both sides are dead people, and no one will feel exaggerated. However, just as he said that his own ancestor had once spewed the mythical story of "Demon Refining True Fire", Qi Yan interrupted him in time:
"Oh, sir, who in our family entrusted you with this? When I go back, I have to give the money to others, but I can't ask them to help me advance the money! ”
Mr. was talking about it, and he didn't have the heart to think about what Qi Yan meant, so he casually said:
"Isn't that the female head of your Shen family? …… Oh, it seems to be called Ome... Hey, your Shen family is a big family, who is worried that you owe money? Let's not talk about her, let's continue to talk about the white bone demon..."
After unconsciously putting out the dry goods, he continued to chatter about the heroic deeds of his ancestors to eliminate demons; At this time, Shen Gui didn't know what to think, he actually stopped the grief in his heart, and even held on to the edge of the open coffin, barely standing up straight!
He first walked up to the dazed Zigge and slapped him three times; After the other party's eyes were clear, he whispered a few words in his ear, and Ziggeqi nodded again and again; Immediately, he set his eyes on Qi Yan, who was dealing with the descendants of the immortals...... I saw Qi Yan secretly comparing three fingers to him while bragging......
Half an hour later, at a snack stall specializing in raw fried and wontons in the south of Gusu City, a young man covered in mud and with a sword at his waist sat down. Although his body was covered with muddy stains, from the fabrics and embroidery he wore on his body, as well as the bearing and posture of the whole person, in the eyes of the well-informed people of Nankang, no one would look down on him.
As soon as the boss who was busy on the oil pot saw Shen Gui sitting down, he immediately wiped the oil stains on his hands on the apron and greeted him with hospitality:
"Young master, it's hard work, the rain last night didn't come at the right time, and the road is not easy to walk, right? What are you going to eat today? The villain doesn't eat much food at this stall, only fried and small wontons; Of course, for a noble person like you, the materials are inevitably a little crude, but they can also be called solid and warm......"
Shen Gui took out a silver ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's hand, whispered a "although it is up", and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and humid, the living standards of the people are relatively rich, and the heavy physical work is not too much, so the southerners are not as rough and heroic as the northerners in terms of food and appearance. At today's morning meeting, Shen Gui, who had an empty stomach, performed a whale devouring tiger in public, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for the villagers and neighbors in Gusu City.
The reason why the first thing to do after entering the city is to eat is entirely because of the teaching of a common saying:
Don't be a starving ghost!
Shen Gui didn't know where he came from, so he naturally felt less afraid of such a major event as death. He knew that the enemy Shen You this time had personally defeated and killed his sister Urge, who was even stronger than himself, and it must be difficult for him to get back the slightest bargain from this third uncle with his current ability......
There are thousands of roads in this world, and the east is not bright, and the west is bright. According to Shen Gui's previous thinking, it seems that in today's battle that he knows will be lost, only those who have their brains in the water will seek their own death; It's just killing people, what kind of sacks, beating sticks, poisoning, sneak attacks, digging traps, which continent still can't get through?
However, maybe last night's spring rain really poured into Shen Gui's head......
Shen Gui, who had eaten more than 40 fried raw and drank three bowls of small wontons in a row, patted his belly with satisfaction. Immediately, he took out another ingot of silver, gave a thumbs up to the stunned boss, praised "It tastes good", and then carried the spring rain sword splashed with mud spots, and walked towards the Shen family's mansion step by step......
Whoa!
After a loud sound of gravel falling to the ground, the stone carving of the Shen Mansion hanging on the gatehouse was split into countless pieces by Shen Gui; And the chief housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, who was standing far behind the gatehouse, now looked at the mud monkey who came to make trouble with a smile, and never said a word.
"Lao Bang...... Geezer! Come here! ”
When Shen Gui first arrived at Shen's house, he immediately kicked over the stone drum and stone niche in front of the gatehouse; But Rao was so rude, but the old butler who had heard the news neither stopped nor said a word; Shen Gui saw that he couldn't make a plan, and swung his sword to smash the hanging stone carving, but the other party still maintained his original smiling appearance; In this way, Shen Gui himself also felt a little bored, so he had to start talking to this unusually calm old housekeeper.
"What about Shen You's bastard? Hurry up and tell him to come out and die, sir, I'm here to pick off his head today! ”
Fang Cai's bandit behavior of wielding knives and guns, smashing and scolding, did not cause any emotional changes in the old butler; But now that he heard Shen Gui say this, he immediately twisted his gray-white eyebrows into a big pimple:
"Little master, although today is the first time that you and my master and servant have met, the old man has to say something about the following crimes! No matter how much misunderstanding you have between you and the third master, it is always reasonable to call him uncle! ”
