Section 1 Don't Draw a Turtle (Leave Tomorrow)
The two of them traveled all the way west, through the mountains, to the territory of Jinjing Province. The Jinjing country is surrounded by mountains, the land is only more than 20,000 miles in circumference, and it can be said to be a small state in the north of the country, which is a large country with a territory of one million miles. Jinjing Jingshi is called Zhongdu, located in the middle of Jinjing country, with a radius of more than 1,000 miles, although it cannot be compared with Ningdu and other Tongdu Dayi, but because of the dense number of monks in Jinjing country, it is also quite prosperous in this middle capital.
Ye and Mo entered the Jinjin country and went straight to the central capital, both of them knew that the Jinjing country had no defense against the monks in the northern frontier, and the monks could enter and exit freely in the sky above the central capital regardless of good and evil, so the two of them had no scruples and flew straight into the city.
The monks in the sky above the capital are constantly coming and going, and the monks come and go, almost no different from pedestrians on the ground. When the two arrived in Zhongdu, it was already evening, so they found a big inn, drank a few drinks, and stayed in the inn.
After Ye Lan got to kiss Fang Ze, he would not stop at a shallow taste, and he couldn't wait to be intimate with Mo Yao from time to time, Mo Yao was originally cold and hot to him, but since he separated from Su Wan, he was like a completely changed person, and he did not refuse Ye Lan's various actions, and was extremely gentle. Ye Lan is in the age of strong blood, when the love is strong, he is omnipresent, but at the last moment, he is always stopped by Mo Yao.
Ye Lan grew up on an overseas island since he was a child, and he didn't know anything about the etiquette of the world, not to mention that the person who cultivates the truth is free in the world, and he doesn't pay attention to the etiquette of the world, but he also knows that Mo Yao is a famous family, and he is afraid that his private deeds and good deeds are not in line with the door rules, so he has to be patient.
The kiss and affection of a person in love is like thirst for seawater, and the more you drink, the more you are thirsty, but you are reluctant to drink it. After Ye Lan learned the Xuantian Wuji Gong, he had not practiced the family exercises for a long time, and the meditation technique of Liuye Island was not powerful enough against the enemy, but Yu Jingqi was quite effective, Ye Lan could not get what he wanted, and he was inevitably impetuous, so he had to run the meditation technique for a few weeks every day, so as to dissipate the burning thoughts in his chest a little.
The two are in love, tender like water, and the honey is oily, so Mo Yao is not in a hurry to find the demon relics, and to do the act of fighting and killing the scenery, the two of them work together all day long in the mountains and rivers in the middle of the city, enjoy the scenery and fish, and no one mentions the matter of subduing demons and subduing demons. Ye Lan was soft in her hand, and she smelled the fragrance slightly, only to feel that the world was heaven, and she had never had such joy in her life, and Mo Yao had more and more smiles on her face. Her face is peerless, she is very cold and glamorous when she is not smiling, like a thousand miles of snow, beauty is beautiful, but it is inevitable that people will feel alienated, now she has a sweet smile on her lips, and there is often a pear vortex on her cheeks, Ye Lan sees it in her eyes, only to feel that the ice and snow are melting, and the spring is full of the world, so that his heart is full of warmth.
Both of them are quite good at drinking, and when they returned to the inn at night, they had to drink and talk in Mo Yao's room, Ye Lan had a few pots of hot wine in his stomach, the wine strengthened people's courage, and the drunkenness was strong, so naturally he had to deal with Mo Yao, and he refused to leave in her room until late at night. Mo Yao was so entangled by him that his heart was fluttering, his face was crimson, and when he was emotional, he felt quite unbearable, but he was still unwilling to agree, and when he was entangled by Ye Lan and had no choice, he poured him to drink. Ye Lan didn't drink as much as her, and he never refused her persuasion, so he naturally got drunk every night. Mo Yao waited for him to get drunk, so he served him and fell asleep on the spot, while he hid in Ye Lan's room next door to rest.
When she has nothing to do, Mo Yao still paints, and when the two swim to the beautiful scenery, she takes out the pen and ink easel and includes all the lakes and mountains in the painting. After a few days, it coincided with the market, and the two went to the market to play hand in hand, and when they came out of the inn, the pedestrians on the road saw the two of them, and they all looked sideways. Ye Lan knew that Mo Yao's face was confused, and he was not noticeable at all, and many mortals were all sideways, naturally attracted by his handsome appearance, so when he saw passers-by staring at him or pointing fingers, or covering his mouth and snickering, he didn't care in his heart. After a while, a splashy gangster stepped forward, laughing with his halberd fingers, his face was full of schadenfreude, Ye Lan saw this, he knew that something was wrong, hesitated slightly, and casually looked for a descendant on the side of the road and asked, "Is there anything on my face?"
The latter had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was born with an honest appearance, but he couldn't help laughing, and when he saw him asking, he muttered: "This minister, do you like to eat peaches very much? There are so many people who like to eat peaches in this market, why do you need to ask for them from a beast?"
Ye Lan was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer, but he saw a splashy person pointing at his face and laughing: "Big fool, haha, fools are common, but there are few honest people like you who write on your face." ”
Ye Lan listened to this splashy statement, naturally knew that it was Mo Yao who wrote on his face, thinking that he had come all the way from the inn to the market, and he didn't know how many people saw it, this face was really lost to his grandmother's house, thinking of this, he only felt that his face was burning, and he couldn't help but sacrifice the twin treasures, and looked in the mirror, only to see that his forehead and face were painted with calligraphy and paintings, and on his forehead was a peach tree, a snake coiled on the tree, and a villain begged under the tree, although the person was small, but his body and appearance were really exactly the same as himself. Under the picture, two lines of words are written all over the cheeks, on the left is the uncle to enjoy a peach to eat, but on the right it is written: I am a big fool.
Seeing him take a self-portrait in the mirror, his face was full of shame, and he felt even more interesting, and the laughter and coaxing were louder, Ye Lan listened to it in his ears, turned from shame to anger, stretched out his sleeves and wiped it on his face, mana everywhere, and the pictures on his face disappeared without a trace, and then waved his hand to collect the twin treasures into the sea of qi, and the sleeves of his shirt were flicked, and the wind started, and the onlookers stood uncertainly, and they all immediately became rolling gourds.
The monks of this Jinjing Kingdom come and go endlessly, and the people in the city are used to seeing these immortal figures, and they know that the cultivation realm has its own rules of the cultivation realm, and the monks do not distinguish between good and evil, and no one dares to be murderous in this busy city. Although everyone was embarrassed, but thinking of it in broad daylight, it was expected that this fool fairy was not too domineering, so they were not very afraid in their hearts, but after all, these fairy characters are not something they can afford to offend, if they really provoke this stupid fairy to be stupid, even if everyone has no worries about their lives, this suffering must be unbearable, so everyone rolled on the ground a few times, and then hurriedly got up and walked away.
Ye Lan thought of being seen all the jokes along the way, and he was still angry in his heart, glared at Mo Yao, and was about to complain a few words, but saw Mo Yao's willow eyebrows slanted, and said angrily: "What's the matter? You are bullying me with that stinky loach, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
Ye Lan saw that he was lightly angry and angry, his eyes were as beautiful as stars, and the anger that had just sprung up in his heart disappeared immediately, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the people around him were still looking at him and snickering, he couldn't help but raise his arm, covered his face with his sleeves, and sighed lightly: "You didn't get angry and hit me a few times in the inn, such nonsense, it really made me too embarrassed!"
Mo Yao bit her lip and smiled: "It's useless to beat you lightly, and it's a little reluctant to hit the girl hard, but it doesn't matter if you lose face, it's not a loss of silver......"
The two laughed a few words, then revealed the matter, played in the market for a while, then went back to the inn to rest, the next day Ye Lan woke up, the first thing was to sacrifice the twin treasures, a mirror photo, and saw that his face was full of pictures, he didn't care, and wiped it away. Since then, Mo Yao has taken advantage of his drunkenness to paint on his face every once in a while. She is excellent in painting, which is only seen in Ye Lan's life, but she painted some kittens, dogs, turtles and the like on Ye Lan's face, which made Ye Lan cry and laugh. After several times like this, Ye Lan saw that he couldn't be persuaded to understand, so he went with her, and only told her that it was okay to draw cats and dogs, but he tried not to draw turtles, Mo Yao opened his eyes and said with a puzzled face: "Why can't you draw turtles?"
Ye Lan's face flushed and said, "In the book, it is often said that the wife does not abide by the way of women
, red apricots out of the wall, men are turtles, you draw turtles on my face, it's not good after all......"
Mo Yao listened, smiled slightly, and said crisply: "Whether you can be a turtle or not, it's not up to me to decide?"
Ye Lan heard the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and a thick smile appeared on his face. Mo Yao felt indecent as soon as he spoke, and when he saw Ye Lan smiling, he was ashamed and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, laugh again and draw a turtle on your face every day!" After speaking, seeing Ye Lan's face was still colorful, knowing that he was really worried that he was painting a turtle on his face, he sneered and said, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be afraid, I won't draw turtles in the future." ”
"It's better not to draw anything else. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
Ye Lan's face was full of helplessness, he was stunned for a while, and asked Mo Yao: "A-Yao, where are we going to play today? The weather is good today, why don't you go fishing in the middle of the lake?"
Mo Yao looked up at the blue sky above, suddenly sighed lightly, and said, "Brother Lan, I have a teacher's life, and I shouldn't have been idle with you for so many days......
Ye Lan didn't wait for her to finish, and suddenly frowned and said, "What Brother Lan, Brother Green, why does it sound so awkward." ”
Mo Yao smiled: "If you want to be a green brother, you can make it easy for you men to be green......
Ye Lan heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then it's better to call Brother Lan!"
"Don't you think it sounds awkward?"
"It's not awkward, it's not awkward! It's very good, and the more you listen to it, the more pleasing it is to your ears!"
Mo Yao smiled and said, "These days, we are all about touring the mountains and rivers, but we have put our business aside, from today on, we can't do nothing like this anymore." ”
Seeing her solemn face, Ye Lan couldn't help but sigh lightly, feeling regret in her heart, but she also knew that her master's life was in her body, so she had to do it. During this period of time, she only talked to herself and me, not to mention anything else, she was already in love with herself, and it was difficult to help herself, but if she continued like this, it would be a violation of the rules of the Taixu Gate.
Thinking of this, he sighed lightly and said faintly: "Ah Yao, what are your plans?"
Mo Yao groaned slightly, and said slowly: "All sects and factions in Northern Xinjiang have set up branch halls and secret piles in Jinjing, although they are not big, they can be said to be the most mixed places in Northern Xinjiang. After Bau came to the north, although the northern Xinjiang is still calm on the surface, but the undercurrent is surging, the good and evil factions have their own plans, this Jinjing country monks gather, it is the place where the whole body is moved, I want to be ordered by the master to subdue the demons to atone for their sins, sharpen their cultivation, this Jinjing small country is the best place. ”
Ye Lan frowned slightly, and muttered: " It is said that good and evil are not separated, and the righteous and evil ways in northern Xinjiang will often fight to the death as soon as they meet, as you said, there are countless hidden piles of the branches of the good and evil factions in the middle of the city, and everyone will inevitably meet, and the enemies will naturally fight, making a lot of noise, but we have lived in the middle of the capital for half a month, although we did not deliberately look for traces of demons, but the monks in the sky in this are endless, but we have not let us see what people are fighting, you don't mention this I haven't thought of it, and now after you mention it, I can't figure out the trick. ”
Mo Yao said with a smile: "The evil monks don't have the word demon written on their faces, everyone looks like a human, if they don't show their cultivation, who can tell if they are demons or demons? ”
Ye Lan nodded and said: "Yes, as the so-called wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, since everyone else hides the edge, then no one will be stupid to be this bird." Speaking of this, there was a sudden sadness on his face, and he hesitated slightly, and said: "Ah Yao, you have to obey the orders of the master to subdue the demons, we might as well find another place, there are too many dangers in the secret, in my opinion, let's not wade into this muddy water." ”
Mo Yao smiled: "You can relax, I was ordered to subdue the demons, not to be sent to death, so naturally I will not act rashly." Since there is an undercurrent surging, we might as well dive to the bottom of the water in order to find out the reality of this undercurrent. ”
Ye Lan didn't know what she was thinking, and was about to ask again, when she suddenly saw her reach out and grab her palm, and shook it gently: "Brother Lan, it's boring to talk in this inn, why don't we go out for a walk." ”
She looks so delicate, although Ye Lan has been used to seeing her for half a month, but at this time, she still can't help but feel soft in her eyes, but thinking that she just said that she was going to do business, she couldn't just go out for a walk, and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Mo Yao smiled and said, "Where do I know where to find those demons and monsters, let's walk around and wait and see what happens." ”
Ye Lan was overjoyed and smiled: "Isn't that the same as before?"
Mo Yao said: "It's different, it turned out that it was just the two of us playing around, not thinking about anything else, although now we are still hanging out, but we have to always have the idea of probing the movements of the evil monks, although the behavior is no different from the past, the purpose is completely different." While speaking, he had already taken Ye Lan's hand and walked outside the inn, the two walked side by side, Mo Yao also bought two strings of sugar gourds, shared a string with Ye Lan, and looked around while eating. After wandering around the streets and alleys for more than half an hour, I didn't see anything unusual, and it was almost noon in front of me, and I was looking for a tavern to have a few drinks, when I suddenly heard a noise of people in the distance. The two followed the prestige, and saw that there was a big river not far away, a bridge across the river, and both ends of the bridge were surrounded by people, and from time to time someone shouted loudly: "Boy, can you jump or not, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you here for half an hour, you have to jump quickly, don't delay Lao Tzu to eat at noon." ”
"This brother is right, if you want to jump, jump if you don't jump, hurry down, you kid stands so high, we keep looking up, our necks are sore!"
"Jump, jump!"
Ye Lan looked up and saw that there were stone railings scattered on both sides of the stone bridge, dragons were carved on the railings, and a scholar in a green robe and square cloth was sitting on the stone railing, tears rolling down his eyes, and his face was full of despair.
Ye Lan saw the situation of this scholar, and then heard the fast words shouted by the people under the bridge from time to time, he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "These people who shout fast and jump are so vicious, and their lives are at stake.
He was angry in his heart, and looked at the few people who shouted the most, and saw that these people were either born with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, or full of flesh, and none of them were good, he snorted lightly, and was too lazy to deal with these troubled people, and was about to fly up to the bridge to pull the book down, and heard someone under the bridge shout loudly: "This minister, you can't think about it, now the weather is cold and the water is cold, and the river is so deep, if you really jump down, no one may be able to save you, there is a way that there is no big deal except death, you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?"
These words came out of the mouth of the woman under the bridge, and Ye Lan couldn't help but nod when she heard it in her ears. Several men and women also spoke out to persuade the scholar to come down quickly. The scholar listened to the words of consolation from the crowd, his face showed hesitation, and he retreated slightly, but did not come down from the stone railing. Seeing that he didn't jump, they thought that a lively scene couldn't be done, and they were all disappointed, and shouted one after another: "Jump quickly, you delay everyone's work, if you don't jump, it's too disappointing, don't be like this, like a girl!"
"Yes! Jump, it's just a matter of gritting your teeth and closing your eyes, eighteen years later, you're a good man again, I'm afraid of a bird!"
Under the bridge, he persuaded the scholar Mo Xun to be a short-sighted person, and the audience was still coaxing, and couldn't help but feel angry, and said a few words to the crowd, why are you so vicious, and the crowd walked the rivers and lakes with all their mouths, so why not be afraid of scolding others?
Everyone under the bridge listened to the wonderful scolding of both sides, and they all listened to it with relish, and for a while they forgot the scholar on the bridge who was looking for a short sight, and the scholar was also full of astonishment, stunned for a while, as if remembering his situation again, his face was desolate, and his body moved towards the stone fence again.
Ye Lan saw that this scholar was weak, and he was afraid that he would really fall into the river, even if he rescued him in time, he was sad and then provoked by the cold river, maybe he would have a serious illness, so he wanted to go to the bridge and save the scholar at the moment. Fang was about to make a move, but he felt that his arm was shaking, and when he looked back, he saw that Mo Yao had no joy or anger on his face, and said lightly: "There is nothing to see here, let's go shopping elsewhere." ”
Hearing her say this, Ye Lan stared at her eyes twice, then turned his head and glanced at the scholar on the bridge, then groaned slightly, and asked, "Go shopping elsewhere?" A-Yao, shouldn't we save this scholar first?"
Mo Yao also glanced at the scholar on the bridge, with a slight look of disdain in his eyes, and said softly: "It's just a soft fool who has no responsibility, what does his life and death have to do with us?"
Ye Lan saw that Mo Yao didn't care about the life or death of that scholar, and a deep sense of disappointment suddenly swelled up in his heart, and he pondered for a long time before he looked at Mo Yao and said slowly: "Human life is at stake, how can we see death and not save it?
Mo Yao's face was indifferent, he raised his head and glanced at the scholar on the bridge again, and snorted lightly: "It is indeed my duty to help the needy and help the poor, if this person is under the butcher's knife of a villain, or if he has suffered a natural disaster and is irresistible, let me meet it, I will do my best to help, but now he is obviously killing himself, and no one wants to push him off the bridge, since he himself does not spare his life, then why should I meddle?"
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "Idle business, isn't a person who commits suicide worth saving? If he doesn't come to a dead end, who wants to take this step, maybe he has some unspeakable hardships?"
Mo Yao glanced at the scholar again, and said disdainfully: "Bitterness? You look at his bad appearance, there must be no real difficulties, if you don't fail the imperial examination, or you will die, where is there anything unspeakable?"
Although her voice was not high, she did not deliberately lower her voice, and at this time, the bridge was crowded with people, and her words were naturally heard by the people around her. The old man in the green robe in front of him turned his head when he heard this, glanced at Mo Yao, and sighed lightly: "Little girl, you are young, I advise you to speak with some virtue." If you don't know the cause and effect of the world, don't judge people well. ”
Mo Yao and the old man looked at each other indifferently, and said, "It seems that the old man knows the cause and effect of this matter?
The old man was stunned, his face showed distress, and then he shook his head and sighed: "It can't be regarded as a wrong guess, but the words of the dead concubine are too ugly......
When Mo Yao heard him say this, he knew that what he expected was good, and the disdain on his face became even heavier. Ye Lan sighed lightly and asked the old man, "Uncle, how did this person's wife pass away, can you tell me?"
The old man looked up at the scholar on the bridge, then turned back to Ye Lan and said, "This matter is a long story......
Mo Yao smiled and interjected: "This scholar doesn't look like he will jump down for a while, since the old man has made up his mind to watch the excitement here, anyway, he is standing and waiting now, it is better to tell the two of us about the causes and consequences of this matter, and use it as a pastime to pass Chenguang." ”
The old man snorted angrily, glanced at Mo Yao, and scolded: "Why can't you little girl speak like this!
Ye Lan didn't want Mo Yao to interrupt again, so he reached out and took out a small silver ingot and stuffed it into the old man's palm, and said softly: "Old man is angry, my daughter-in-law is spoiled by me, and she doesn't like to speak, don't be like a woman, please tell me about this matter." ”
The old man looked down at his palm, and saw that the silver was ten taels in size, he was shocked, and then turned into ecstasy, knowing that he had met the God of Wealth, but he glanced at Mo Yao, but he still muttered: "The current little daughter-in-law, I really don't fight for three days, and I go to the house to uncover the tiles, if it weren't for your good face......
Ye Lan smiled, nodded and agreed: "My husband is right, I will take a thorn stick and smoke her when I go home, so that she can understand some family rules! ”
The old man nodded slightly, poked his right hand into his left sleeve, put the silver in his hand into his sleeve, and then said slowly: "Actually, you two young couples are late, and you didn't see a big bust...... , Hou Sheng, I kindly told you about this, you don't listen well, but how can you put on this strange appearance?"
Ye Lan gasped and said, "Light, it hurts ......"
The old man saw his handsome face wrinkled, turned his head to look at Mo Yao, and saw that her fingers were pinched, slowly twisting to the left, as if she was pinching something in her hand, but her hand was more than enough away from Ye Lan, so naturally she would not let this posterity put on such a ghostly appearance, the old man was angry, and snorted angrily: "Housheng, what's wrong with you, where does it hurt?"
Ye Lan's face twitched, he took another breath of cool air, and said with his teeth gritted: "Now that there is something serious, do you want to twist it at night?"
The old man said angrily: "I'm talking about serious things now, after saying that, Lao Tzu slapped his ass and left, who has the time to spend the night for you!"
Ye Lan snorted in pain again, suddenly raised his face, his complexion immediately returned to his normal appearance, and he arched his hand towards the old man, and said: "Don't be angry, old man, you go on to say that Xiao Sheng was rude for a while, and please don't be surprised." ”
The old man nodded and said, "That's what it looks like." As he spoke, he pointed to the bridge and continued: " The little old man came early, when passing by the stone bridge, there are not many people around here, I came to inquire, only to know that someone saw a female corpse at the bottom of the bridge, the female corpse was tied to a wooden stake under the bridge with clothes, which was not washed away by the river, everyone saw this situation, did not dare to act rashly, then someone went to report to the official, not too much, there was a group of officials to run, all the officials saw the female corpse, one by one was shocked, crying and crying, even more panicked than our people, the little old man is wondering that the officials should be well-informed, how can they be so uncontrollable, but see them crying and crying to fish people up, crying and chattering, Why can't you think about it, Miss. As soon as everyone inquired, they found out that the female corpse was actually the daughter of the squire of the military department. Alas, the little old man saw with his own eyes, such a good official lady, I don't know how long she has been soaking in this river, and even her face is swollen, it's really pitiful!"
