Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 8: The Fierce Woman Has a Poisonous Tongue and Ghosts

The Sun Immortal in the Medicine King View is the statue of Sun Simiao enshrined in the Medicine King Temple.

There have always been rumors in Xiuwu County that at the beginning of the Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the king of immortal medicine, had collected medicine and alchemy in Busan and Liuzhen Mountain, and later became a flying immortal, and his disciple Lu Zhaolin in the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty also came here to find the trace of his teacher.

In fact, Ye Chang was skeptical of Lu Zhaolin's rumors, although Lu Zhaolin studied medicine with Sun Simiao, but in the end, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water because he couldn't bear the disease and tossing, where did he have the leisure to go around Xiuwu County.

But now, he had to pretend.

In Ye Chang's original plan, the old monk of Shifang Temple should sing and harmonize with him, so that he himself doesn't need to perform too much, but now that Chunxin has changed his hexagram, Mo said that Fang Cai did not come forward to support him, and even if he did, Ye Chang would not put all his eggs in one basket.

Therefore, the Medicine King Concept has become Ye Chang's new choice, and he has to perform it in person.

"Usually I wanted to ask the immortal to visit the Dao every day, but I never thought that I would miss such an opportunity!" He beat his chest and paused: "After all, my immortal fate is insufficient, and my fortune is not thick!" ”

"Eleven Lang, are you still not good?" Everyone laughed, as if they were laughing at Ye Chang for being too greedy.

At this time, Liu Gui was ignored by everyone, intentionally or unintentionally.

"In short, thanks to the blessing of the immortals, we are looking for water, and I have to calculate the next account, Liu Gui, where are you going?"

Seeing that everyone was moved by Ye Chang's words, Liu Gui began to prepare to run, but others could ignore him, how could Ye Chang ignore it? He scolded, Liu Guisa wanted to slip away, but Ye Chang had already hurried to catch up and pull him up.

"I, I ......"

"It is a great sin for you to be a bold slave to deceive your master and slander you as a thief...... Everyone helped me send him to the government, and I had to smoke him dozens of boards! Ye Chang shouted.

"Spare your life, Eleven Lang spare your life!" Liu Gui suddenly panicked.

Although he was a little anxious, he was only a domestic servant in the countryside after all, and it was his nature to be afraid of the government, so he heard that he was going to send him to see the official, and all kinds of ghost ideas in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his knees were weak, so he knelt down directly.

It must be known that the people are afraid of officials, all of them have been the same since ancient times, two mouthfuls of official words, one bite of the people's fat and people's ointment, and one bite of the decision to give birth to the family, except for Ye Chang, who is born with doubts and doubts about the government from later generations, who will not be afraid! Ye Chang didn't expect that he mentioned sending him to see an official, and he would let this Diao slave be scared like this, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then his mind changed: "Can you confess?" ”

Liu Gui knew in his heart that he could only retreat if he was soft, so he kowtowed and said: "The villain is wrong, the villain shouldn't be stupid, and he actually accuses the master...... It's really the villain who worked day and night after coming to the three branches, dissatisfied in his heart, and wanted to anger Eleven Lang and drive the villain back to the long branch, but the villain didn't dare anymore! ”

Although he begged for mercy, he did not dare to involve the Liu family, and there was a meaning in his words to defend the Liu family. Ye Chang snorted, he didn't expect to solve all the troubles through this one thing, his biggest goal had been achieved, as for this Liu Gui, as long as he could squeeze out some more oil and water, there was no need to worry about him.

I looked up and glanced at the old monk Chunxin again, and there were still accounts to settle with the old monk, but I didn't worry, I remembered it first.

"Send this guy to see the official!" Someone shouted that there will always be no shortage of these idlers in the countryside who love to coax and look lively.

Ye Chang pondered for a while, but remembered one thing, when his brother-in-law Liu Kun came to visit him yesterday, he mentioned that someone wanted to open a pottery kiln in Busan, and he needed manpower. His heart moved, of course this Liu Gui couldn't stay by his side, otherwise he would jump out and make trouble at a critical time, which would be very unfavorable to himself. It is not a good thing to send him to the official, whether the government will get to the bottom of the so-called "meeting immortals", Ye Chang is not sure. Then the best way is naturally to sell this Liu Gui - not only to drive him away, but also to cash in for some copper and iron flowers.

He asked Liu Gui to tie him up first, and then said: "Let's go down the mountain and talk about it, everyone, let's go back!" ”

Everyone was tired after making trouble for a long time, and they were about to go back and talk to their families and neighbors about what happened today, so they responded one by one. After taking two steps, Ye Chang said loudly: "Since it was the old immortal of the Medicine King who gave us the clear spring, everyone must remember tomorrow, let's go to the Medicine King to see the incense together!" ”

Everyone agreed in an uproar, but only the old monk Chunxin almost stumbled at his feet.

These incense ...... Originally, it was supposed to be his Shifang Temple, but because he temporarily changed Ye Chang's script, he was changed by Ye Chang to the Medicine King Temple. In this way, he has been busy for a long time, and he has made all kinds of arrangements, isn't it that he didn't get the benefits of Kai, but just fulfilled Ye Chang's theory of meeting immortals?

The old monk felt remorse in his heart for the third time, and this time he repented very thoroughly.

Ye Chang didn't care what the old monk thought in his heart, it was just a small revenge on the old monk's treachery. With the help of everyone, they escorted Liu Gui and they went down the mountain, and they had already run to the front quickly, so they had not yet arrived, and today's matter had been passed back to Wu Zepi by someone adding fuel and vinegar.

Therefore, when I arrived at the head of the village, half of the people in the village were waiting, most of them were from the same clan of the Ye family, and there were also idlers with foreign surnames watching the excitement.

Xiang'er stood in the middle of the crowd with a confused expression, next to her was her sister-in-law Fang, and behind Fang stood a man who looked honest, it was her husband Ye Shu, that is, Ye Chang's actual brother. Ye Shu is nearly thirty years old, more than ten years older than Ye Chang, and his temperament is the most cowardly, and he rarely speaks, so Ye Chang has not spoken ten words to him in total after he woke up.

It's just that he looked at Ye Chang's gaze, always with apologies, probably thinking that letting Ye Chang serve as the heir of the three branches was really sorry for Ye Chang.

The Ye family has three rooms, and the long branch has been very strong since the previous generation, so the other two branches are relatively weak, and when Ye Shu and Ye Chang are in this generation, the two branches are the poorest, and the main income is some fields allocated by the clan. After a hundred years in the Tang Dynasty, the Juntian system has collapsed, and the open fields issued by the imperial court exist in name only in some places. Therefore, Ye Shu asked Ye Chang to go to the three heirs, which also meant to find a way out for him.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law." Ye Chang greeted them, Ye Shu nodded, his eyes were full of worry, and he looked at an elder standing in the crowd.

Ye Chang also looked over, and saw that the old man was dressed in kudzu clothes, his expression was serious, and his eyes were very stern. Beside him was Ye Neem, the uncle of the long branch, and Liu, who couldn't hide his anger on his face.

"How dare you do this, how dare you do this!"

Seeing Ye Chang looking at him, Liu was so angry that he couldn't speak smoothly, pointing at Ye Chang and trembling.

Ye Chang ignored her, but stepped forward and saluted Elder Ge Yi: "I've seen the sect leader." ”

This old man in Ge Yi is the patriarch of the Xiuwu Ye clan, and he is also the village leader in Wu Zepi. According to the Tang Dynasty system, one hundred households and one mile, five hundred households are a township, and a place like Wu Zepi should also have a Lizheng, but because there are no honors in the Wu Zepi family (the Tang Dynasty often ordered the honorable officers below the sixth rank to serve as Lizheng), and there have been no characters in these years, so the position of Lizheng is played by the people of the neighboring Xiaoliu Village, and the Ye clan has many people, so the patriarch can serve as the village Zheng. In the countryside, which has always been reluctant to deal with the government, Li Zheng and Mura Zheng are the authorities to decide lawsuits, arrest thieves, and mediate peace.

The head of the Ye clan is named Ye Dan, and he is the ancestor of Ye Chang in terms of seniority, and when he saw Ye Chang saluting, he nodded slightly.

In the past, he didn't pay much attention to this clan, the Ye family is a big family, the total population of all houses is more than 100, and a distant grandson is unknown on weekdays, so naturally he can't get into his eyes. But this time it was different, and he actually "met the immortals" and found spring water during the great drought......

Thinking of Ye Chang's finding the spring water, Ye Dan felt a kind of irritability in his heart. This made him feel very bad, and his gaze was a little cold when he looked at Ye Chang.

"The sect leader is here, I don't know what to order?"

"I heard that you said in front of outsiders that your aunt is not good for you?" Ye Dan snorted: "Your third room has been making more and more trouble recently, you are not good at making a living, why are you suspicious and suspicious, and frame your aunt, don't you know that this is a crime of disobedience?" ”

As soon as it came, there was a big hat, Ye Chang glanced at Liu, and Liu, who was still angry, was a little proud at this time.

"What the patriarch said is ......" Liu Gui next to him knew that this was his only chance to reverse the situation, although he was tied, his mouth was not blocked, and he immediately knelt in front of Ye Dan: "The villain heard it with his own eyes, Eleven Lang actually framed the master mother to kill him!" ”

Ye Chang, who was still a little hesitant about how to deal with Liu Gui, made up his mind at this time. This guy is loyal to the Liu family, and as long as he has the opportunity, he will jump out and make trouble, such a guy can't stay.

"Is that the case?" Ye Dan asked coldly.

"My nephew said that my aunt Liu coveted the belongings of this branch and deliberately embarrassed me." Ye Chang didn't know why Ye Dan was a little targeted at him, so he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly: "As for disobedience, my aunt and nephew have neither grace nor virtue, so I really don't dare to be the word 'disobedience'." ”

"Huh?"

Ye Chang's performance made Ye Dan stunned for a moment.

What kind of encounter with immortals, for Ye Dan, is suspicious, but in Ye Dan's impression, this distant relative has always been a wooden and quiet character, and the brothers are generally honest, and now Ye Chang's performance is completely different from his previous impression.

Ye Chang's words are sharp, his thinking is sharp, and he happily responds to the responsibility of accusing his aunt that does not constitute a big mistake, but he resolutely denies the crime of disobedience.

And between his demeanor, he also has everyone's spirit, which impresses Ye Dan.

He couldn't help but think of the rumors of the people in Fangcai again, Ye Chang met the immortal Sun Simiao. Could it be that he really met the immortals and opened his mind, so he has the wit he has now?

"Eleven Lang, although you are not disobedient, you are disrespectful to your elders." Ye Dan thought for a while: "Go to the ancestral hall to receive the family law." ”

This time it was Ye Chang's turn to be stunned.

He pushed the sin of disobedience, because he knew that this was a great sin in the Middle Ages, originally his reason was very sufficient, and Ye Dan obviously accepted his reason, but he still had to use family law to deal with him, what is the reason?

After all, Ye Chang is a person from the next generation, so he does not have a deep understanding of the strength of the clan at this time, even if Ye Dan agrees with Ye Chang's reasons in his heart, he has to be punished for today's matter. You must know that the prestige and power of Lu Dao Ye Dan in the clan all come from the patriarchal system, how could he not maintain the three-room long branch!

"It's just like this, it's too cheap for him, and the clan land assigned by the clan has to be taken back for him!" Liu said loudly from the side.

"It's ...... say" someone whispered to agree, naturally it is closely related to the three-room long branch.

"I'll talk about this when Ye Si comes back." Ye Dan glanced at Liu: "Eleven Lang is a junior, less is not more, strict discipline is required, but he is not the head of the family with three rooms and three branches, and he can't do it." ”

He wants to maintain the patriarchal system, but he will not be at the mercy of the Liu family, and this time the three-room brothers are on the wall, it is a good time for him to take advantage of the middle, how can he let the matter end in a short time!

Ye Chang came back to his senses at this time, it seemed that the family law was unavoidable, he glared at the Liu family, and when the Liu family saw him glaring, he scolded again: "You uneducated little animal, you dare to stare at me, Sect Chief, look, he dares to stare at me in front of you!" ”

"Eleven Lang ......" Ye Dan was even more angry in his heart.

"Sect Chief, my surname is Ye, if I am an animal, then aren't all our surnames Ye animals?" Ye Chang said loudly: "I just don't respect her aunt, she said that our surname Ye is livestock, that is, we don't respect the ancestors of my Ye family, and if you don't respect your old man, you will also be dealt with according to the family law!" ”

Liu's mouth was full of vicious scolding, and he suddenly became dumb.

She scolded the street as a shrew, but she never wanted to catch the loophole for Ye Chang, and she put it in with a word. Ye Chang was disrespectful to one of her aunts, and it was not a big deal, but if she was disrespectful to her ancestors, it was a big deal. If Ye Chang is going to be whipped when he goes to lead the family law, then Liu will have to be slapped with the soles of his shoes.

"Cough, big brother, the Liu family was ...... by this little was angry with Eleven Lang, he didn't choose what to say, and he made an unintentional mistake, so he still didn't pursue it. ”

The atmosphere froze for a while, Ye Neem glanced to the side, and a slightly hunched Ye elder spoke.

His words made Liu's originally stiff face finally move again, but Ye Chang glanced at the hunchbacked elder and smiled slightly.

When he followed Xiang'er around that day, he had already seen this elder, named Ye Hun, who was a person in Ye Dan's generation, and he wanted to call him Uncle Jiu. It's just that this ninth uncle has always had a good relationship with Ye Neem, so at this time, he will come forward to intercede for the Liu family.

Seeing Ye Chang smiling at himself, Ye Hun had lived for more than sixty years, but for no reason he felt a tremor in his heart, this Ye Chang seemed to have a strange strength in his body, which made people involuntarily afraid.

Ye Dan pondered for a while, it seems that using the family method to deal with the Liu family will not bring him any benefits, but will offend the Liu family, and this favor will be sent.

"Well, if it's a moment of anger, that's it, but, Liu, as an elder, should look like an elder, and don't be this shrew scolding the street in the future!"
