Chapter 17: The Old Road of South China
At night, the moon hangs in a semicircle in the sky, and there are many stars in the sky, each star twinkling its own light in turn, as if a woman blinking her eyes gently, watching every move of things under the starry sky.
And on the roof of Xu Shuo, one hand holds the float and sink, the other hand strokes the beard, wearing a blue Taoist robe, although the wounds left by the sun and the moon on his face, but he can still see that he has a good complexion, his eyes are bright, and his face is resolute.
In the house under the roof, because of the afternoon incident, Zhang Ning did not come to feed Xu Shuo in person, but asked the subordinates to make things early and send them to Xu Shuo, Xu Shuo had recovered some after a little rest, slowly got up and ate all the food sent over with a spoon, and felt in good spirits after eating the food, and did not forget to do two push-ups on the ground.
After doing a little exercise, the effect came, Xu Shuo, who was lying on the bed at night, had extreme pain in the muscles of his limbs, and Xu Shuo, who was in pain, almost burst into tears, and had been secretly scolding this body for not fighting in bed, and complaining about how the owner of this body lived, it was too weak.
Xu Shuo, who was lying on the bed, was still thinking about how to deal with Zhang Jiao and the others later, when a sound of broken stones outside the house interrupted Xu Shuo's thoughts.
"Who?" Xu Shuo was full of vigilance about everything because he came to the end of his life, because in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if he was not careful, he could die.
I saw the door of Xu Shuo's room slowly open, and the door entered the room with the old man's footsteps lightly across the door frame, looking at Xu Shuo on the bed.
And on the bed, Xu Shuo didn't know who ran to Xu Shuo's house without sleeping in the middle of the night, whether someone was playing a prank, he stretched out his head to see, there was an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist uniform and holding a whisk in his hand, Xu Shuo felt wrong, wearing pajamas, so he endured the pain and turned over and got up, and stood opposite the Taoist priest and held it like this.
"Oh? You're the one who claims to be my junior brother? The Taoist priest said as he looked around Xu Shuo to see what kind of person Xu Shuo was.
Xu Shuo said in his heart: No, I only pulled the tiger skin in the afternoon, you won't be Nanhua, big brother, don't be so fast, I said, Cao Cao Cao arrived, but I didn't say that you Nanhua is also so fast. Xu Shuo wanted to cry without tears, his face could not leak the slightest slack, and there was still a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that it was not the real Nanhua in front of him, but it was estimated that it could not be fake.
Xu Shuo saw that Lao Dao stopped, he should have listened to his own explanation, smiled and enthusiastically stretched out his hands to give Nanhua a warm hug, and said, "Senior brother, I can be regarded as finding you." ”
Lao Dao shook off the dust and avoided Xu Shuo, changed one hand, stroked the beard on his chin with the other hand, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Senior brother? ”
Xu Shuo smiled and said, "That's right, senior brother!" ”
The people of Nanhua Dao were puzzled: "How can I ever have a junior brother? How did I not know? ”
Xu Shuo didn't blush when he lied, and said to Nanhua who was puzzled with a smile: "I am a disciple of the master and his old man who went down the mountain to collect it, and it is estimated that his old man didn't tell you!" ”
This time it was Nanhua's turn to be puzzled, and it didn't look like Xu Shuo's eyes were deceiving him, but he Nanhua didn't have any masters.
Nanhua, who saw through Xu Shuo, snorted, raised the dust and prepared to hit Xu Shuo and said, "Hmph, this little trick still wants to fool me?" I Nanhua has been in the Tao for decades, and I don't have any master, how did I come to be a junior brother? You liar is not quick to be truthful, why do you want to deceive others by using my power? ”
Xu Shuo's heart became flustered when he saw that the lie was revealed, and then he remembered that the later generations did not say that Nanhua had any masters, which made Xu Shuo very annoyed, how could he forget this stubble, and pretended to be calm and said to Nanhua: "I am a person sent by God to help the lower realm complete the unification as soon as possible and avoid the misery of life caused by the long war. ”
Hey, this Nanhua old Taoist didn't believe in this evil, and said to Xu Shuo: "Zi Buyu is already strange and confused, if you are sent by God, I am still sent by God, look at your original form when I beat you in the dust!" After speaking, Nanhua Lao Dao directly swept the dust towards Xu Shuo.
At this time, I saw a little white light around Xu Shuo, as if the white light was protecting Xu Shuo around Xu Shuo, and Nanhua's attack did not affect Xu Shuo in the white light, Nanhua felt as if his attack had all hit the wall, and the strength of the rebound shocked Nanhua's hand painfully.
Xu Shuo, who was in the circle to protect his head with his hands, saw that Nanhua's dust had not fallen on him for a long time, his closed eyes slowly opened, and he was dumbfounded when he looked at the small white light around him, what is going on? Is there really a heaven to help?
"Could it be that this guy is really a man sent down from heaven? Let me calculate" Nanhua stopped the attack, took out the four copper coins in his arms and put them on the ground and began to count, shaking his head from time to time, nodding from time to time, leaking a surprised expression from time to time, and leaking an envious look from time to time, it was very strange, if anyone else was present, they would think that this Taoist priest was crazy, why did his expression change so capricious, from time to time Nanhua suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, held his chest and shook his head: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" ”
It's no wonder that Nanhua is like this, because he can't count Xu Shuo's past and present lives, the more he wants to check down, it seems that there is something in front of Nanhua so that Nanhua can't check anymore, as if a black fog wraps Xu Shuo's past and present lives, because Nanhua didn't find out and was annoyed and decided to be slapped out by a huge force when he checked down, so he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Why can't I find out your background, your background seems to be wrapped in a black fog, so I can't speak, who are you?" Nanhua asked Xu Shuo excitedly.
Xu Shuo looked at Nanhua Lao Dao as if he had suffered a loss, and looked at Nanhua who was meditating on the ground with a smile, and said to him: "I said that I was sent down by God, don't you believe it, you have to check me, I was injured." ”
Nanhua's speech became wooden in shock: "God, God sent you?" I don't believe it, I don't believe it, what kind of demon you must be, I must not be able to see clearly because my Dao power is still shallow, haha, God, I don't believe it, Zi Bu Silent Strange Power Confusion, Zi Bu Silent Strange Power Confusion, you are a demon, a demon! Nanhua kept babbling as if he was stupid.
The motivation of the two finally alarmed Zhang Jiao and the others, Zhang Jiao heard Xu Shuo's movement, and hurriedly called someone to call Zhang Ning to get up and help him walk towards Xu Shuo's room.
As soon as I saw Xu Shuo standing in the middle of the room in his pajamas, an old Tao in front of Xu Shuo was sitting on the ground, and his mouth seemed to be nagging something.
Zhang Jiao immediately called a subordinate to help Lao Dao up, seeing that Lao Dao's face was frightened, and the chatter in his mouth was not clear, so he asked his subordinate to get the 'holy water' to drink for the master, but Nanhua did not take the water in the hands of the subordinate person, got up and disappeared directly.
Zhang Jiao turned around and asked Xu Shuo what happened, Xu Shuo explained vaguely, there were many lies in it, Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then gave up, and told Xu Shuo to rest early and ask Zhang Ning to help him back to the room, and when he left, he also told Xu Shuo that he had something to do and just call someone to tell him, Xu Shuo nodded and agreed.
After the incident, Xu Shuo was also a little tired, after all, it took a long time to toss, and it was laborious and laborious, and it was good that Yi's body didn't fall on the spot.
Crawled onto the bed with great effort to cover the quilt and said to himself in surprise: "Finally fooled over, this old man of Nanhua should not come to trouble me again in the future, right? Whatever, now there is no threat from the old man Nanhua, hehe, the rest of the things will be easy to do, and ah, what is the white powdery thing around me, am I really sent by God, hehe. ”
This incident made Xu Shuo happy that he didn't sleep all night, and his mood settled down and fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
