Chapter 11: To the City
"Huh?" Ai Tingnan was stunned when he heard Wei Cheng's words.
Yuan Tiangang? What a familiar name......
"I don't know!" Ai Tingnan said.
Liu Laosi continued to cry and said, "Grandpa Mountain Ghost, don't lie to me!" I've seen those Taoist priests, they are all some cheaters, you can fly! Ordinary Taoist priests, how can anyone fly! I beg you, let me go! ”
When Wei Cheng heard this, the person in front of him who looked like a child could fly? Looking at Liu Laosi's appearance, it doesn't look like a lie! He hurriedly grabbed a stick next to him, pulled Liu Caihua behind his back, and then pointed the stick at Ai Tingnan.
"Who the hell are you sacred! Show your true colors! Otherwise, don't blame me for Wei Cheng's ruthlessness! Wei Cheng shouted loudly.
"I, I'm really a Taoist priest!" Ai Tingnan found that his origin was really hard to say, saying that he was a crossover, and the people here probably didn't even know what a crossover was.
"Don't fool me! Taoist priests are just a group of ordinary people who can do alchemy, and I don't know how many Taoist priests died under my hands back then! You don't want to fool me, quickly, quickly retreat! Otherwise, I'm going to kill the ghost today!! Wei Cheng's voice grew louder and louder, trying to overcome the fear in his heart with shouting.
Ai Tingnan looked at Wei Cheng's disbelief in himself, and he was also a little anxious, scratching his head, he really couldn't think of a good way, and finally simply gave up: "Okay, I'm a mountain ghost!" ”
"Mountain ghost grandpa! Please let me live! When Liu Laosi heard Ai Tingnan admit it, he immediately hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"You, Lord Mountain Ghost, if Uncle Liu has made any mistakes, please forgive me, if you have to take someone's life, then come and take my life!" Wei Cheng's hand holding the stick trembled slightly, and when he heard Ai Tingnan personally admit that he was a mountain ghost, he said with some despair.
In ancient times, ghosts and goblins were ruthless and unrighteous things that easily took people's lives.
"Master!" When Liu Caihua heard this, tears immediately rained down, and she rushed up to hug Wei Cheng's waist and cried vigorously.
"You mother-in-law, why are you crying? I was originally a cripple, and I was taken care of by you and Wu'er every day, and now, if I can play the last role of this useless body, it will be worthy of my life! Wei Cheng said with some sadness.
When Liu Caihua heard this, she cried even harder.
Liu Laosi wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he could only sigh heavily, lowered his head, did not speak, and accepted his fate.
He has a grandson to raise!
"I'm rubbing! Forget it! Why are you all so tough? I'm really just asking for directions! Alas, I'd better find it myself! Ai Tingnan was a little confused by the parting of life and death in front of him.
After saying that, he turned around and flew away, he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to spoil the good mood that had just flown out of the mountain.
Seeing that Ai Tingnan could really fly, Wei Cheng couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he still stood firm after all.
"Second uncle, thank you! If it weren't for you, my old life, and the baby's little life, would really be gone! Liu Laosi saw Ai Tingnan leaving, and hurriedly walked over, wanting to thank Wei Cheng, in his opinion, Ai Tingnan, a mountain ghost, can go, all thanks to Wei Cheng.
"Fourth uncle, no need to thank you, if it weren't for the fourth uncle and the village chiefs a few years ago, I am afraid that Wei Cheng would have become a ghost under someone else's sword, and this time the mountain ghost can let us go, I'm afraid there is a deeper reason!" Wei Cheng hurriedly said to Liu Laosi.
"Deeper reasons?" Liu Laosi was stunned for a moment when he heard Wei Cheng's words, and then suddenly became frightened, he hurriedly grabbed Wei Cheng's clothes and said, "I heard that mountain ghost inquire about the way to the city before, if I hadn't planned to lead him to my home to cheat some money, I'm afraid there wouldn't have been such a catastrophe!" This greed is really unbelievable! ”
"Fourth Uncle Liu, how do you say this? Please let me know! When Wei Cheng heard this, he immediately asked.
Subsequently, Wei Chengcheng understood the cause and effect: this mountain ghost must be going to the city to harm people!
"It's not good, Wu'er is still in the city, cauliflower, hurry up and let people inform Wu'er, let Wu'er come back quickly, this mountain ghost is going to leave here and go to the city to harm people!" Wei Cheng said anxiously.
"What? I immediately asked his second uncle to go to the city and asked Wu'er to come back! When Liu Caihua heard this, she immediately ran outside the house.
"Do I want to tell the general about this news, alas, after so many years, I don't know if he still remembers me!" Wei Cheng sighed and went back to the house to write something on a rag with black charcoal.
After Ai Tingnan left, he flew into the sky three hundred meters in one go, bought an apple in the store with some sullenness, and began to gnaw on it.
I wanted to easily ask for directions and then go to the city to experience ancient life, but I didn't expect to encounter such troubles.
It's still a mountain ghost!
Feudal superstition kills people! If someone sees me flying like this in the future, they will definitely take a group photo first, and then ask me where I bought my equipment! Ai Tingnan sighed, lay down, looked at the white clouds in the sky higher, and began to be in a daze.
That's right! In ancient mythology, not only devils and spirits can fly! Aren't those immortals also able to fly?
I can pretend to be a fairy to cheat and eat and drink! Ai Tingnan patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
Ai Tingnan immediately got up and flew around the village, finally finding a relatively wide road.
"This should be the road of the same city!" Ai Tingnan looked at the road that had been also very far away, and muttered to himself.
Looking at the pedestrians on the road, Ai Tingnan decided to fly along the woods next to the avenue so that no one would see him.
After flying for half an hour, Ai Tingnan finally saw a populated place, with a city wall outside, four meters high, guarded at the city gate, and soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
A group of people driving ox carts and donkey carts were talking while pushing the goods into the city gates, which was very lively. It was just three o'clock in the afternoon, and Ai Tingnan planned to fly into the city again in the evening.
He had a bold plan in mind: he was to fly into the best and biggest house in town, and then show his hand to be the guest of honor of the housekeeper, and then ask for some money to buy clothes.
There was no way, he looked like a penniless poor boy in ragged clothes, and he had been blown by the wind in the sky for a day, and he didn't even have shoes, and in the eyes of the people in the city, this was not a beggar, but also a boy from a poor family.
So, Ai Tingnan found a random branch in the field to lie down, and then fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already night, and there were many stars falling in the sky, and a half moon was also hanging high in the sky.
Ai Tingnan took out a bottle of Nongfu Spring from the store, unscrewed it and drank half of it, then stepped on the branch and flew into the sky.
At night, Ai Tingnan looked at the city from the sky, it was dark and quiet, as if a machine had stopped working, which was completely different from the lively scene when it was working.
Ai Tingnan flew towards the center of the city, and finally stopped over a large mansion with many red lanterns.
That's it! Ai Tingnan flew down.
