Chapter 22, Ups and Downs
"Gu Yu, you bastard... On the second day, Yang Wenjing, whose face had not been washed, ran to Gu Yu's room happily, but her joy was disappointed, and after learning the truth, she returned to her room sadly and cried.
"Ahh
On the other side, although he was in this city, when Gu Yu went out, the city gate had already been closed, and it had already passed the time of business, so he had no choice but to hide in the corner and deal with it all night.
The night was cold, I woke up in the morning, I sneezed, rubbed my nose, and Gu Yu said: "I don't know if it's a cold, or if Wen Jing is scolding me... β
"Two pennies a piece, a fresh meat bun with thin skin and big filling, guest officer, don't you have a taste!!" Walking on the road, Gu Yu was stopped by the guy from the stall on the side, and he entered his stall with a greeting.
"Okay, bring me five, plus a big bowl of rice porridge, and a plate of side dishes." Gu Yu touched his stomach and said with a smile.
Antique, he took out the money bag from the bag, took out the silver taels, checked it in his hand, generously put it on the table, and greeted: "Boss, take the bun according to the money, and take the excess away." β
"Okay!!"
"Wow, it's really pollution-free, pure natural meat buns, this texture, this taste, it's just different... As soon as he took a bite, Gu Yu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, it was really delicious.
Small dishes and porridge and big meat buns, full of food and drink, the whole body is warm and very comfortable, although Gu Yu knows that Yang Wenjing will definitely scold him, but I think it is more worrying, after all, for us, this world is too strange, if we encounter danger, Gu Yu is a mortal, how to deal with it.
More than 20 large meat buns were put into the backpack, and the boss who watched it was also full of curiosity and asked: "Childe, you have a strange thing, where did you buy it, it's very convenient." β
"Hehe, this, a friend gave it, I don't know where he bought it from... Gu Yu chuckled, picked up his backpack, and said goodbye to him with a smile.
"Huh, what's that?" Gu Yu strangely took out an object from his arms, this thing is gray and dark, the size of a walnut, and there is a Buddha picture on it.
"This is Bodhi? When I didn't eat, my clothes were loose, but I didn't feel it, but when I ate a little more, I found it. "Carefully examined, but did not find any special meaning, except for the simple nature, faintly contained a special Zen accident, there is no other discovery.
"Keep it, after all, it is a holy object that can coexist with the Buddha, maybe it really has some special effect, and maybe it has some special effect." Gu Yu took it into his arms and hit the road again
Legend has it that Bodhi is a sacred object of Buddhism, which can help people to become enlightened and open the door to wisdom, and is a symbol of divinity.
If the myth is true, more than 2,000 years ago, Shakyamuni attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and after seven days and seven nights, he finally attained enlightenment.
"How do you walk outside and encounter wild beasts?" Suddenly, Gu Yu suddenly remembered the dark and terrifying ancient beast, as well as the golden-winged Dapeng bird that could hold the dragon elephant, and was about to go out of the city gate to retract his feet, and hurriedly returned, how could he buy it a sharpened iron blade, otherwise, if I really encountered a beast, I was not Wu Song.
It's obviously only early in the morning, but the city has already begun to be lively, people here are dressed differently, some are poor and some are expensive, but there are very few people with short hair like ancient jade, even the balding ones will wear a special hat, which looks very matched.
The river is endless, the traffic is busy, just walk this way, find the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith of this era is not tight, only to make iron, make farm tools, some special shops can also make swords.
Fifty taels of silver is not much, and it is not enough to buy a good sword, but it is good to have a weapon at hand, otherwise I will miss my chivalrous dream?!!!
"Uncle, I want to buy a sword, I wonder if I can defend against the enemy?" Gu Yu looked at the family of five who were eating in the store, and said with a kind smile.
"Young man, want to buy a weapon to defend against the enemy? We have all the blades here, knives, guns, swords, shields, etc., as long as you want, you can customize them, and the quality is absolutely passable. He was greeted by a middle-aged man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, raw and tough, like a hill, with a loud voice and full of stamina.
"Hehe, to fight the sword in the world, it is natural to choose a three-foot Qingfeng!" Then he said: "But I don't have a lot of entanglements, so I want to ask the boss to recommend one for me." β
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can't afford the blades here, it's better to go there and choose one, five taels of silver, it's enough to kill the enemy and kill the beast." The boss took a closer look at Gu Yu, took it to the sword box around the corner, and reminded him kindly.
"How much money is there." Gu Yu pointed to the blade placed in front of the door behind him and asked curiously.
"The minimum of thirty taels of silver is to start, and it is all mixed with fine iron. . . ." The boss said a scary number, Gu Yu nodded, chose a majestic black ancient sword, paid the money, and because it was an open business, he also got a free scabbard, very lucky.
The young man with a big backpack walked with a black ancient sword in his hand, he was very happy in his heart, thinking that today would be a good day, and walked out with a smile.
"Hey, young man, please stay, my son-in-law has something to say to you." As soon as he left the shop, Gu Yu was blocked by three men dressed as servants, and a pair of lifeless eyes stared at Gu Yu as if they were nothing, and said in a dull voice.
"My lord, is there any misunderstanding, this little brother didn't cause any trouble!" Seeing this, the shopkeeper kindly relieved him.
"Whatever you do, go back to me." The three of them looked cold and said very scary.
"Okay, good, good ,,,," The boss was strong, but he didn't dare to compete with him, and he promised to retreat, and at the same time, closed the door of the store.
For a while, many newly opened shops on the street were like this, closing the doors that had just opened, as if they were afraid of these three middle-aged men who looked like slaves.
Gu Yu was puzzled, and was about to ask, but saw two people walking out of the opposite shop, about eighteen or nineteen years old, proud of the world, on the left, is a jade tree in the wind of the handy son, he holds a folding fan, has an indescribable chic and leisurely, and with him is a well-groomed, graceful beauty, she is red chalcedony, graceful and luxurious, bright eyes and bright teeth, extraordinary.
These two young talents are arrogant, and their appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people, but most of them only dared to peek, but did not dare to make a noise.
"Little brother, what is it that you have tied around your waist?" The dashing man shook the folding fan in his hand, and the catalogue of mountains and rivers was placed by himself, as if he was alive, and his words were frivolous, as if he was on an outing, and asked indifferently.
"Peace was given to me by my fiancΓ©e." Gu Yu felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate, and thought to himself: "These people can't have any evil thoughts... β
"It's very glamorous, but it doesn't deserve you, why don't you give it to me, whatever you want, just say, I will satisfy your ......." The man was personable, and thought highly of himself, and his words remained frivolous and unconcerned, as if he had not heard what he had just said.
"I want all the spirits of the Eastern Wilderness to float under my feet, worship me every day, and sing praises to me."
"I want Beidou to feather, become an immortal collectively, and no longer suffer."
"I want eternal immortality, eternal youth."
"Can you satisfy me?" Gu Yu seems innocent, but the derogatory meaning in his words is very strong, which makes people listen to it.
"This kid is crazy, even the son of the city lord has offended !!" The owner of the blacksmith shop underestimated worriedly.
Outside the door, the empty street was silent, it looked particularly cold, Gu Yu's words seemed to hit the man's face, for a while there was no demeanor, a pair of eyes full of cruel and vicious color, from childhood to adulthood, he is the god here, who saw him is not nodding his head, he doesn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, how can he be humiliated like this, at this time the anger surged, the paper fan closed, and shouted: "Toast and don't eat and punish wine, come to someone, beat me, beat until he admits his mistake." β
"Yes!" The three servants bowed.
"Bring me the peace knot first, don't break it." The young man spoke again.
Seeing this, Gu Yu immediately wanted to draw his sword, who knew that his fists and feet had no eyes, and the sword in his hand was suddenly kicked out, and then he was kicked in the back, and a big hand grabbed the peace knot at a very fast speed, fortunately, Gu Yu was not slow to react, and the moment his body flew out, he hurriedly grabbed the peace knot, which was not taken by him, but his body fell to the ground hard, and he gasped in pain.
"Hmph, I don't know what to do, beat, beat me to death, I don't believe there is anything I can't get." The young man's face was pale, his eyes showed murderous intent, he folded a bunch of fans, and pointed at Gu Yu lying on the ground and shouted again.
That stormy fist and kick, the blood of Gu Yu surging wildly, from childhood to adulthood, not to mention the hardships, but not too much, but compared to the shame and pain at this time, it is simply insignificant, it seems insignificant.
The long clothes were stained with blood, and the blood was sprinkled on the ground, Gu Yu curled up there, the blood was not stopped, but the peace knot was well protected, but after all, it was still stained with his blood, not exquisite and perfect, there were flaws.
"Stinky boy, okay, the bones are hard!" The young man's face was not good, seeing his appearance, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed evilly, the feng shui fan opened, and the words fell: "I think you can't get out of this Pingyang City." β
"Let's go, let's go back." After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.
The noble woman, who had never spoken from beginning to end, glanced at Gu Yu lightly, and with the support of the other three servants, she also left here.
"Why bother? The son who offended the lord of the castle will suffer from you in the future. The blacksmith shop owner opened the door and walked out, and when he saw Gu Yu's tragic condition, he couldn't help but say sympathetically.
Looking at the broken bags, as well as the scattered, torn clothes, the silver two have long been gone, the body does not need to say much, it hurts to move slightly, looking at the peace knot in the arms, a touch of tears with blood stains falling, everything is silent.
The boss sighed: "The situation is cold, that's it, if you want to blame, blame you for not having the ability." β
Gu Yu closed his eyes, the crystal tears were mixed with bloodstains, looking pitiful, although the blacksmith shop owner had a rough face, he was a kind person, a little unbearable, and took the risk to send him to another street corner, leaving him to fend for himself...
