Chapter 68: Living Immortals
The huge table is full of the inventory of various matters of the Taicang year's Qiangu criminal name, and the Zhizhou Lord needs to sort out and report to the prefect a few days before the year, and the Yamen will be closed to rest at the beginning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and will not return to work until the fifteenth day of the first month.
After a busy year, he finally had time to rest, and Chen Menghe did not have any relaxation on vacation, not only him, but also all the servants above and below the yamen, and everyone was ready to fight, as if they were facing a great enemy -- from two days ago, the first batch of more than a dozen people went to the yamen to petition, and now there are more than 300 people, and the black pressure is overwhelmed at a glance.
With a petition written in blood on their heads, they wept silently in front of the yamen, because the officials told them not to make noise, and they obeyed orders. But gradually, the old man could not hold on, and fell to the ground softly, and the child could not help but be hungry and howled loudly.
There is gradually a feeling in the eyes of the honest crop man, which makes people shudder.
The experienced Zhou Xun knew that it was the eyes of a wolf!
Guys who usually beat and bully and don't know how to fight back, once they go crazy, they will be like a raging river, tearing everything apart. Don't look at these people kneeling, Zhou Xun is standing with the officials, but in Zhou Xun's heart, they are the ones who are surrounded. Every time there was a little movement in the crowd, every time more people gathered, Zhou Xun's heart almost jumped out.
Thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and he immediately dispersed the people, even if the battle was bloody, taking advantage of the small number of people, the official still had a chance of winning!
But is he still a human being when he starts with these poor people who are unarmed, the New Year is approaching, and their fields are robbed? Is there still a hint of humanity? If you do, you'll go to hell!
If you don't do it, more and more people will come, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand...... When it really comes out of control, the sheep become wolves, and they are the ones who are unlucky!
Zhou Xun only felt that he was guarding a pile of gunpowder that would explode at any time, and every minute and second was torment!
"Shen Liang, you should be damned!" Zhou Xun clenched his fists hard, wait, if it really makes trouble, he will lead people to the Shen family and break the jar......
The old mansion of the Tang family in the past, today's Shen family compound, full of cigarette smoke, although Shen Liang invited a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, but he was not at ease, and specially invited a bronze statue of Guan Gong, about the blessing of the Holy Emperor, it must be invincible!
After he respectfully put on the incense, he turned around and said politely to Zhen: "Master, you have to send it over in person, and the disciple will ask him to send five hundred taels of incense to the Tianfei Palace." ”
Liao Zhen nodded slightly, speaking of the fact that after listening to Tang Yi's method, there are more and more pilgrims in Tianfei Palace, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger.
Shen Liang made a generous move, and took out five hundred taels at once, and his real identity was not the same, and he did not have a happy expression, but let out a long sigh.
"Amitabha, Shen Tanyue, the old man has a few heartfelt words, I don't know if you can listen to them?"
Shen Liang hurriedly bowed down and said, "The master instructs, and the disciple listens." ”
I really looked around, and the house was just like that, although it was not luxurious, it was made of top-quality materials.
"Shen Tanyue, Buddhism only asks about one's own heart, although five hundred taels of silver is a lot, for you, it is just a drop in the bucket. Yesterday in the palace of the concubine, Lao Qu met a child, he was wearing straw sandals with leaky toes, his little arms and legs were red from the cold, he turned back and forth for more than an hour, and finally took out a copper coin from his pocket. ”
As he spoke, he took out a copper coin and sent it to Shen Liang.
"Lao Qu was overjoyed at the time, thinking that he had met a good child with deep roots, and when asked, the child said that this was the New Year's money given to him by his mother, and he didn't buy candy people, but dedicated it to my Buddha, because he wanted my Buddha to bless him and leave their fields behind!"
Yes!
Shen Liang's expression was shocked, his eyes were staring at Zhen, and he roared, "Master, are you here to ask the master?" ”
"The old man doesn't dare." Liao Zhen sighed: "There are seven sufferings and five turbidities in the world, and the suffering of sentient beings is also a number of days. However, the heart of heaven and the hearts of the people, the old man is afraid that although the Guan Shengdi Emperor is powerful, his eyes are like electricity, and he can distinguish between right and wrong, and he is afraid that it will damage Tan Yue's luck! ”
After Zhen finished speaking, he left with Xuchen without looking back, leaving only Shen Liang standing on the spot stunned, and Zhenzhen's last sentence kept echoing in his heart, could it be that bad luck came, those carp were desperate to jump away yesterday, could it be that they foresaw the disaster and fled in advance?
The fire in the backyard was also a warning from heaven, thinking of this, Shen Liang suddenly shivered. He didn't care about the king's law, but the ghosts and gods were convinced, could there really be retribution?
When he was at war between heaven and man, the old man Ding ran over from behind, his shoes were lost, and he couldn't take care of it, and an old face bloomed, and he said "I want to have a son" and "I really want to have a son".
Everyone else was startled, and said that the master is angry, what are you crazy about here! Everyone gave him frequent looks, but Lao Ding didn't realize it, and continued to laugh and dance, finally alarming Shen Liang.
"Hmph, bring him here!"
Shen Liang asked people to bring Lao Jia Ding over, and scolded him for splitting his head and covering his face.
"After following me for so many years, the more I live, the more I go back, the older I get, the more shameful I become!"
Lao Lao Ding was scolded so red that his face turned red, and he hurriedly kowtowed, and said: "Master, it's all the blame for the little one, I'm so happy that the little one is so happy, I want to have a son!" ”
"What a mess, tell me clearly!"
"Yes, yes, sir, just now, a broken Taoist priest came to us to beg, didn't you say that you want to be polite to the monk, and the little one brought him steamed buns. Who knew that this guy could really eat, he ate more than a dozen fist-sized steamed buns in one go, patted his belly and said that he was only half full. The little one was angry and drove him out, but he said that if the little one let him eat enough, he would give the little twins, and if he only ate half full, he would have only one son. As he spoke, he took out a pill from the gourd, broke half of it and gave it to the younger one, saying that if he ate it, he would have a son. ”
Lao Ding's eyes were red with excitement, and he said regretfully: "The little ones are really confused, what are a few steamed buns!" But this is not bad, next year the younger one will be fifty, this life is going to be over, and there can be a person who can retire and send him to the end, happy, really happy! ”
When Shen Liang heard this, he immediately became interested, he didn't care if his old family Ding had a son, if that old man really had the ability, maybe he could help himself.
"Give me the elixir!"
Lao Ding carefully took it out of his arms, and said suspiciously: "Master, this is for me, can you eat it......?"
"Phew, what do you think of the master!"
Shen Liang snatched the pill and held it in his hand, it was heavy, golden, and when he raised his nose and smelled it, the rich aroma made people feel refreshed, as if the pores of the whole body were opened, not to mention how comfortable it was!
Lao Ding accompanied the smiling face and said, "Master, it's a good thing!" ”
Shen Liang frowned, and suddenly shouted, "Hurry, go and chase!" ”
"Chases what?" The old man is still in Chileng.
"Of course it's chasing that old way!"
Shen Liang stood up suddenly, greeted the family, ran to the backyard, rode a horse, and chased out the back door in one go. Running along the street, until I reached the city gate, I suddenly found a figure in the distance, gray cloth and rags, walking unhurriedly.
"Master, it's him, chase after him!"
Shen Liang's eyes lit up, he didn't speak, he beat the horses hard, galloping, running forward, he ran faster and faster, but a desperate scene appeared, breaking the old way was still so chic, walking unhurriedly, but the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, no matter how much he chased, he couldn't catch up.
After running out of four or five miles, a river suddenly appeared blocking the road, Shen Liangxin was overjoyed, great, he could catch up now. But I saw that Lao Dao came to the river, took off the futon on his back, threw it in the river, and then jumped up, stepped on the futon, and quickly paddled across the river, leaving no trace. When he reached the opposite bank, his body shook, and he disappeared into the bamboo forest in a blink of an eye.
Shen Liang chased to the river in one go, and looked carefully, the river was at least two or three zhang deep, how did Lao Dao do it, this is too incredible!
"Master, that old way is gone, can you still chase it?"
"What an old way, it's a living immortal!" Shen Liang threw off his horse, knelt respectfully by the river, and kowtowed three times in a row.
"Living Immortal, disciple Shen Liang begs you to see it!"
"Disciple begs to be seen!"
After shouting more than a dozen times in a row, there was no response, Shen Liang hung his head, and as soon as he turned around, he suddenly found that twenty steps away, an old Taoist was sitting on the grave, looking at him with a smile.
Obviously he has crossed the river, why did he run behind again, could it be that he really has magical powers!
Shen Liang had met many guys who claimed to be half-immortals in the past, but none of them were as magical as the person in front of him, he couldn't help but rush over and bow to the ground, and even the family members kowtowed and knelt down in a large area.
This scene was seen by Tang Yi and Tang Shunzhi on the other side of the river, as well as Zhu Shan and Zhu Hai, and the four of them forced themselves to laugh. Just now they played a beautiful double reed, and it was Tang Shunzhi who led Shen Liang all the way, his martial arts are good, his speed is fast, and in a short period of time, he is not weaker than a horse. After arriving at the river, Zhu Shan and Zhu Hai, two boys with excellent water nature, supported them below, which caused a magical effect like crossing the river with a reed.
As for Lan Daoxing, he hid in the grass in advance, and jumped out again at this time.
Tang Shunzhi took off the broken road on his body, changed it into his own clothes, and sighed: "Everything that should be done has been done, and then it depends on whether Lan Daoxing has a way!" ”
