Text Chapter 2 Unlucky ghost cover
It was the cold winter season, I don't know if it was beautiful, it was like riveting enough, and it snowed heavily for several days, and finally stopped. Some of the red suns are hanging high in the sky, although they can't give people a lot of warmth in the slightest cold wind, but they still make people feel better in spirit.
"It's finally a sunny day."
Chao closed the window, then went to the charcoal brazier and added a few pieces of charcoal to it. Looking at the fire burning in the charcoal basin in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Carefully calculated, it has been five days since I woke up to today. In the past five days, he has been secretly wondering how he could have come to the world of the Water Margin during the Northern Song Dynasty? How did he change from the forest style of the original society to the current Chao Gai?
He vividly remembers his previous experiences. According to the old monk, he was born as an abandoned baby shortly after, and was later picked up by a beggar who picked up rags on the side of the road in the wilderness of the countryside, and was sent to a temple with a dilapidated mountain gate in the mountains not far away.
Subsequently, the old monk in the mountain gate found out that he was seriously ill, so he had to collect herbs to continue his life, and at the same time he caught tigers and leopards and other beasts in the mountains to breastfeed, it can be said that most of the tigresses and leopards in the mountains are their own nurses. Of course, they are also their childhood companions and rivals in martial arts.
dragged half his life like this, and finally when he was two and a half years old, the old monk began to teach himself to practice martial arts, in order to strengthen his body and live a few more years.
By the age of five or six, I was able to remember. Practicing martial arts, collecting medicine, and taking medicine, this is the old monk's way. In addition to the old monk and himself, the only living "things" he has seen are those birds and beasts in the mountains.
Cold comes and goes, year after year. Although he suffered a lot in his childhood and youth, he managed to save his life.
When he was 17 years old, the old monk passed away. Not overly sad, in the words of the old monk, he had been looking forward to the day when he would go to the Promised Land.
After taking care of the old monk's death, he left the temple and the mountain gate according to his instructions before his death, and took his tokens to visit a few reclusive old men everywhere. The purpose is naturally to practice martial arts, in the words of the old monk, to practice martial arts to continue his life, if he still doesn't want to die. Fortunately, with the old monk's token, everything went well.
Five years later, when I was 22 years old, I began to really enter the modern society. Later, in order to make a living, he was hired to sign up for a national martial arts competition, but he quit after a few fights. The reason is that there is a guy who calls himself the Dragon King who finds himself with a smile and wants to join the Dragon Tooth - the highest level of special forces.
And the last mission was quite mysterious, saying that it was to detect the ruins of a suspected alien civilization. All countries sent elite squads to go, but they didn't want to get to the end, but an accident happened. Although he got what he was looking for, the thing suddenly exploded as soon as it left the cave. Suddenly, he seemed to see endless flames intertwined into a sea of fire, and the terrifying heat and air waves swept away in an instant, and he seemed to see everything including himself melt in an instant, and then he didn't know anything.
Originally, I thought that I was going to go to the Western Bliss to be practiced by the old monk again, but I didn't want to appear here five days ago, the world of the Water Margin, during the Northern Song Dynasty, and inexplicably became the so-called Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai.
What the hell is that? Could it really be a relic of an alien civilization?
Alas, forget it, thinking of this, Chao Gai shook his head again: I can't figure out that ghost thing. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and he picked up a life in vain.
Chao Gai is Chao Gai!
Didn't the old monk say, don't be too obsessed, just follow the fate!
"Owner"
There was a knock on the door, the door creaked open, and Fauber, who had a bunch of white beards, pushed the door in, although his old face was a little red from the cold, but the eyes that were sunken in the sockets were full of joy.
"Owner, it's time for soup."
Fu Bo said, putting the bowl full of ginger soup in his hand on the table in front of him, but his eyes fell on Chao Gai, looking at Chao Gai's expression.
"Okay", Chao Gai saw this, and without saying a word, he stretched his waist and drank a bowl of ginger soup like wine, full of heartiness.
"Fauber, just let the next person come to these things."
Chao Gai looked at the old and thin Fu Bo in front of him, but he couldn't bear it: "You are old, you should rest more!" ”
"The owner doesn't have to worry".
Fu Bo's cheekbones in front of him were towering, and his somewhat wrinkled face was full of brilliance: "The old slave's body is quite tough, but the owner's body is better, and the old slave's heart can be regarded as letting go." I think the quack doctor misled people, but he frightened the old slave a few days ago. In case something happens to the owner, when the old slave arrives there, how to explain to the old owner!
When Chao Gai heard this, he was a little funny, and hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand: "You are too serious." Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and I'm not fine! ”
In the past few days, Chao Gai has also become generally clear, Chao Gai was originally the only son in the family, and this Fu Bo in front of him was the housekeeper of Chao Gai Village when Chao Gai's father was alive, and he was really the "old man" of his Chao family.
In his impression, in the world of Water Margin, Chao Gai seems to be a rich man, likes to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, likes to squander money on weekdays, and is also a little famous in the rivers and lakes. But beyond that, nothing is known. After all, in his opinion, this Chao Gai was an unlucky ghost in the original Water Margin.
Therefore, in the past few days, he used the excuse that his head was dizzy, and it was difficult to remember many things, and he knew some information about "himself" from the mouths of others.
It turned out that Chao Gai was originally the Baozheng of this Dongxi Village, and the Xixi Village adjacent to him was under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng County. A few months ago, it was rumored that Xixi Village was haunted, and later it was said that it was the Baozheng people of Xixi Village who instructed the stonemason to chisel a pagoda with bluestone to suppress ghosts and exorcise demons, and drove all the ghosts in Xixi Village to Dongxi Village.
When Chao Gai heard the news, he was furious, and went straight to knock over the Baozheng of Xixi Village, and took the ghost pagoda of Qingshi Town and put it in Dongxi Village. It is said that the ghost pagoda in Qingshi Town weighs four or five hundred catties, so Chao Gai is completely famous, and everyone calls him the King of Tota.
Chao Gai's move was shocked by everyone, and he was famous, so this matter spread in a boiling manner. But after that, Chao Gai slowly found that his body was getting worse, and at first he only thought that he had used his strength before and hurt his vitality, and he only needed to recuperate for a few days.
I didn't want my condition to get worse, and in less than a month, I couldn't get out of bed, and I invited several Langzhong one after another, but to no avail. Finally, within two months, he died. However, no one expected that he was not dead, and that he would "return to yang" again in such a strange way.
"That's right," Seeing that Fu Bo was going to sigh about this matter again, Chao Gai hurriedly opened his mouth and led the topic over: "How is the situation in the village these days?" ”
Hearing this, Fu Bo hesitated for a moment: "The owner's body has not recovered yet, so don't overwork." The old slave can still cope with the affairs of the village for the time being. ”
"It's okay, I've been recuperating for a few days, and I've almost recovered. I don't think it will be a few days before I can get back to normal. Chao Gai waved his hand slightly, looked at the gray-haired Fu Bo in front of him, and said again: "It's these days, you are tired a lot."
"It's not enough to be affected, but this time the owner's illness almost killed the old slave!"
Fu Bo stroked his beard, shook his head with some sighs and said with a wry smile. The voice fell, as if he remembered something, hesitated slightly, suddenly got up, and knelt down leisurely towards Chao Gai in front of him.
"The old slave has a saying, although he knows that he should not say it, but now he has to say that he hopes that the owner of the village will forgive his sins."
Seeing this, Chao Gai hurriedly stood up to help up Fu Bo in front of him: "Fu Bo has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why bother, please get up quickly."
"Please also ask the owner of the village to listen to the old slave's words", Fu Bo was suddenly a little excited, but insisted on kneeling: "This is a big rebellion, but the old slave pleaded with the owner." If this is not allowed, the old slave will have no face to see the old owner after he dies."
Hearing this, Chao Gai was suddenly a little stunned, what made Fu Bo in front of him value it so much?
"The owner of the village is arrogant, righteous first, helping the needy, and his chivalrous reputation spreads far and wide. But in the past, the owner of the village only boiled his body and got to know the heroes of the world, but he was not close to women, did not marry a wife, and had no heirs to pass on."
"This time, the owner of the village relied on the favor of God to return to life. But if the owner of the village really has three long and two short, and the Chao family has a big business, who should inherit it? There is no successor to the Chao family, what kind of face does the old slave have to meet the old owner after entering the ground? ”
"The old slave was rude in his words, and he begged the owner of the village to surrender!"
Speaking of this, Fu Bo's face was full of sadness, and he kowtowed to Chao Gai in front of him again and again.
"You are always up, please get up quickly", Chao Gai finally understood when he heard this, so he finally helped Fu Bo up and sat down: "You are always loyal to my Chao family, what is the crime?" ”
"Since you don't condemn the old slave", Fu Bo's eyes were full of hope, he only stared at Chao Gai in front of him, and asked a little timidly: "What is the owner of the village...... Same...... Agreed? ”
Hearing this, Chao Gai smiled and nodded.
Joke, although he grew up in the temple since he was a child in his last life, he is not a monk, and the old monk always says that he has not broken his fate and cannot be a monk. Besides, it's a shame to say it, he didn't even talk about a girlfriend in his last life. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen a few people before he went down the mountain, and soon after he came down the mountain, he stumbled into the organization by mistake, most of them were gentlemen, where to talk about love?
However, now that he has inexplicably become Chao Gai, and he is shouldering the glorious mission of inheriting the Chao family, how can he still shirk it? Moreover, he himself couldn't understand that in the ancient society where the concept of inheritance was deep-rooted, this guy didn't marry a wife!
Moreover, this is the Northern Song Dynasty. Not to mention marrying a wife, with his family business, three wives and four concubines are considered few, right?
"It's good that the owner agrees, so that the old slave's heart disease is half gone."
Seeing Chao Gai nodding, Fu Bo stroked his beard again with a satisfied face, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Fu Bo", Chao Gai saw this, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, he dared to love after this incident, and he was anxious to let him get married and renew the incense for the Chao family.
"Don't worry. However, there is no urgency in this matter. Marriage, marriage, doesn't it also depend on chance? ”
"No hurry, no hurry".
Fu Bo nodded again and again, with a smile in his eyes: "How many days have I waited, now that the owner of the village has said that the old slave can afford to wait for this time!" ”
At that moment, Chao Gai heard the sound of eager footsteps coming from outside the house.
"The owner, there is a Taoist priest outside the door, who claims to be a Qingdao man. Don't fast, knock over several customers, and bluntly say that you want to see the owner......"
