Chapter 103: The year is the point of life and death
On the official road, two carriages one in front of the other, although they traveled the same way, they did not interfere with each other.
In the past few days, Su Xiaoqi has nothing to do, and the time is short and irregular, every time he wakes up, he will teach the little boy some introductory runes.
The little boy's talent in Fu Dao really surprised Su Xiaoqi, and he was even a little ashamed.
It took me half a month to understand the Xuan Dan Talisman, and I only guided it twice, and the third time I woke up, the little boy had basically mastered it, and he was even able to draw some good embryo talismans.
And along the way, there was no turmoil, but it was quite stable.
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was dark, and it was still drizzling, and on the official road in the great wilderness, there was no shop in front of the village or behind the store, but there was a post house, which was located alone in an open space next to the official road.
Ma Dongping took the lead and headed towards the post house, Liu Dali and the carriage followed, and then a thin monkey-like shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him, took over everyone's horses, and then led everyone into the lobby.
There were no other guests in the inn, only a plump woman who couldn't see her age standing at the counter crackling and calculating, she raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, first looked at the clothes of this group of people, and immediately smiled, trotted out of the counter, and hospitalized.
Not long after, the three women also walked into this post house, picked up a table that was not very far from Su Xiaoqi and the others, but it was not close, and sat down.
Upstairs, a man strode downstairs, holding in one hand what should have been a freshly written couplet, because traces of ink could be seen on his face and hands, which should have not been cleaned yet.
After the man went downstairs, he just glanced at Su Xiaoqi and the others casually, then walked to the plump woman, unfolded the couplet, and smiled and said, "Hua Niang, how is it, has it made progress this year?"
The woman casually glanced at the couplet in his hand, and said angrily: "Are you blind, don't you see that the old lady is busy? ”
Su Xiaoqi was explaining some basic essentials and precautions to the little boy at that time, and couldn't help but think of the situation when Wu Yuan taught himself the runes, when Wu Yuan said that the talisman he drew was like a ghost talisman, and at this moment he happened to hear such a sentence "ghost talisman", and couldn't help but look up.
The man's face was a little embarrassed when the woman said this, and he carefully placed the couplet in his hand on a table, and walked to the room where the wine was kept.
A gust of wind blew, and just one of the couplets was blown to Su Xiaoqi's side, Su Xiaoqi bent down to pick it up, only to see that the ink was not dry, the pen was strong, and the handwriting was neat, I couldn't say it was good, but I couldn't say it was bad.
Su Xiaoqi couldn't help but think of the small town in the north, the couplet in front of his house, I am afraid that it has decayed to the point that it is not what it looks like, and I don't know what is going on at home? I think that every household has been replaced with a new couplet, but I don't know if the little girl in the neighbor's house will steal a pair of couplets that her grandfather wrote and put on the door of her house? I don't know what happened to the fairy drunk business......
Su Xiaoqi was a little distracted.
At this time, a bunch of guests came outside, scolding, and complaining loudly after sitting down, and their language was rough and unpleasant.
The man walked up with a jar of wine, and after putting it on the table, he saw Su Xiaoqi holding the couplet he wrote, he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't say much, so he had to laugh, looking extremely honest and honest.
Su Xiaoqi handed him the couplet with a smile and asked, "I don't know if this big brother can write a pair for Zaixia, I just pasted it when I went back this year." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and Su Xiaoqi continued: "I can pay." ”
The man hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, no." ”
He scratched his head, and continued: "How can I sell this ink for money, I'm afraid that the writing is not good, which will affect the beauty of the prince's mansion, and it won't give people a joke." ”
Su Xiaoqi asked again and again, the man really couldn't help it, so he agreed, everyone had eaten, the man just finished writing, handed it to Su Xiaoqi, when Su Xiaoqi settled the bill, he gave more silver, which was the money to buy couplets, the man didn't want to accept it, but the woman kept pinching his arm, so he endured the pain, piled up a smile, and sent the guests out of the door.
As Su Xiaoqi left, the three women also followed to settle the bill, only the last group of guests were still eating and drinking in the sea, and they were all red and drunk.
Outside the post house, after the thin monkey-like guy sent everyone away, he smiled and said to himself, "It's good to eat and go on the road, and don't be the starving ghost when you die." ”
slapped him on the back of the head, almost slapped him with a dog shit, and the honest man who wrote the couplet glared and said: "It's fucking nonsense a day, I asked you to give those horses medicine, is the amount enough?"
The thin monkey-like guy was slapped inexplicably, but he was not annoyed, but with a smile on his face, "Third master, don't worry, within twenty miles, these people's horses will have to be soft, and at that time, they just entered the ambush place of the second master, plus the medicine that Hua Niang took in the meal, even if this group of people is really the fairy on the mountain, they have to obediently leave their heads." ”
The man nodded, lost in thought.
He actually can't write couplets, he doesn't know a single word in Douda, and there are other people who write these two couplets.
This person is upstairs now, and this time he is also a plan given by this person, but he really can't understand why the uncle upstairs is so powerful, why didn't he directly kill these outsiders, he had to do so many things, especially those two couplets, which made him even more incomprehensible.
It's just that the eldest brother is in his hands, so they can only obediently obey orders, and they will do whatever this person says.
In the post house, a young man slowly walked on the second floor, with a green shirt and a sword, with a smile on his face.
As soon as he appeared, the guests who were drunk and flushed suddenly became energetic, and the smell of alcohol on their bodies disappeared in an instant, and there was nothing at all, replaced by a fierce killing aura.
Everyone stood up neatly, clasped their fists and saluted, "See the Thirteen Elders." ”
The young man nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead." ”
Everyone responded and neatly exited the inn.
The young man walked to the table where Su Xiaoqi and the others were sitting before, stretched out the fingers of his right hand and gently swiped on the tabletop, and said to himself with a smile: "Seventh son, Su Xiaoqi, if you die here, who can know that I did it?"
The plump woman stood at the counter, not daring to make a sound.
She had seen the methods of this young man with her own eyes, and if she really wanted to kill them, she didn't even need a sword, it was just a matter of waving her hand.
The young man turned around and smiled at the woman: "If this matter is successful, I will remember the merits of your Giant Whale Gang, and when the time comes, there will be no one in a radius of a hundred miles, and naturally no one will be able to compete with the Giant Whale Gang." ”
For this kind of great good thing, the woman is not happy at all, to be able to become the "Four Immortal Aunts" that everyone in the Giant Whale Gang fears, in addition to having ruthless means, she must also have a smart head, the ups and downs she has experienced over the years have made her extremely clear that there is no free lunch in this world, let alone pie falling from the sky, even if it really will fall, it will not happen to fall on the head of their Giant Whale Gang so coincidentally.
Things in the world often depend on each other, and now it seems that this thing is indeed a great good thing, but the premise is to succeed, what if it fails?
The answer is obvious, the whales will disappear from this world completely!
And these people have only one way to die.
With this person's ability, of course, he can bring unexpected benefits to the Giant Whale Gang, but he can also make the entire Giant Whale Gang disappear in a snap of his fingers, no one dares to doubt this, even if it is her, the "Four Immortal Aunts" whose hands are stained with blood.
......
On the official road, the drizzle is falling.
Su Xiaoqi was lying in the carriage, holding the couplet he had just bought, and smiled lightly.
Outside, the little boy couldn't help but ask: "Master, why do you spend money to buy that couplet, I don't think it's anything special, my father's writing is better than this." ”
Su Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Your father's writing is indeed better than this, but it is less meaningful." ”
The little boy frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Su Xiaoqi stretched out a finger and suddenly clicked on the couplet, and the ink on it that had not dried exploded in an instant, and in that post house, the table in front of the young man was like a mirror, reflecting a picture, and it was Su Xiaoqi and his party in the painting, but at this moment, the whole table suddenly exploded, sawdust flew and dust flew.
Su Xiaoqi put the couplet that was already just too ordinary to be ordinary in the corner of the carriage, and replied with a smile: "Killing intent." ”
Then he walked out of the carriage and said something to Liu Dali and Ma Dongping, and the team slowly stopped, and the car just behind it also followed.
Liu Dali turned the horse's head, walked towards the three people, hugged his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the three to go first." ”
The two women were stunned, but the woman in the carriage asked, "Why?"
Liu Dali did not answer, but said in a deep voice: "I just conveyed the meaning of my friend." ”
After saying this, he turned his horse's head and walked back to Su Xiaoqi's side.
Su Xiaoqi asked the man to park the carriage aside, but after the carriage stopped, he had no intention of leaving, Su Xiaoqi sighed and let the man continue to drive.
He has already done everything he should do, and if the other party doesn't appreciate it, he can't help it.
Ma Dongping's face was heavy, and he asked in a low voice: "I know this medicine, it is not something that the forces under the mountain can use, if it wasn't for your reminder, I wouldn't even know that I was poisoned." ”
Su Xiaoqi did not return to the carriage, but just sat in front of the carriage, just side by side with the little boy's father and son, nodded and said: "I can find out that it is actually because of that couplet, this person should have been hidden on the second floor at that time, although it was well hidden, but the gust of wind exposed him." ”
Ma Dongping frowned slightly, because there was nothing strange about the gust of wind, at least in his opinion.
Su Xiaoqi said with a smile: "It's winter at this time, we are sitting in the north, if there is really wind, it will be from north to south, but that person put the couplet in the south, why can it just blow in front of me? ”
Ma Dongping was still puzzled: "Could it be that couplet, what else can I say?"
Su Xiaoqi shook his head with a smile and said: "For others, it is naturally nothing special, but for me, it is very special, although I can't think of who the person hiding upstairs was at that time, but one thing is certain, this person knows my past very well." ”
The little boy frowned and said, "Master, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”
Su Xiaoqi patted his head, "If there is a fight in a while, you must not run around." ”
The little boy nodded and said, "Well, I will definitely support Master." ”
Su Xiaoqi smiled embarrassedly and said softly: "It seems that I still have to think about the matter of you worshipping me as a teacher." ”
The little boy hurriedly said, "Master, I was wrong. ”
Su Xiaoqi scolded with a smile: "Little Wang Eight Lambs, before he entered, he was already so disrespectful to the teacher, and when he entered the door in the future, he must not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?"
The little boy smiled and said, "Master, are you tired old man, I'll give you a beating on the back?"
Su Xiaoqi shook his head.
The little boy said again: "Master, you old man has said so much, you must be thirsty, let me bring you water?"
Su Xiaoqi shook his head.
"Master, if you do this again, I won't support you when the fight starts in a while. ”
After saying this, the little one was kicked out of the carriage and fell all over the mud, and the little boy got up from the mud, not angry, but smiling.
Liu Dali and Ma Dongping, who were on the side, looked at the pair of masters and apprentices and smiled knowingly.
Along the way, there have been a lot of such things, this little guy is completely a naughty ghost, he can make people laugh, and he can also make people vomit blood, but as long as Su Xiaoqi does this, it means that he is really not angry.
In fact, Su Xiaoqi is not as easy as it seems, although his body has recovered a lot now, there is naturally no problem to deal with some ordinary people, but if he faces a real strong person, he can only rely on Liu Dali and Ma Dongping.
Among these people, Liu Dali's realm is the highest, but it is only according to the divine realm, although Ma Dongping is only in the late stage of the Guanhai realm, but he should be able to have the combat power of the strong in the divine realm, of course, Guanhai is still Guanhai after all, if you really want to fight desperately with the strong in the divine realm, you can protect yourself, but if you want to kill, it is very difficult.
If you don't enter according to God, you don't get started, and you can see God when you enter according to God. Not everyone in this world is like Su Xiaoqi, who can achieve the feat of watching the sea and killing the gods.
Now it is certain that the person behind the plot is undoubtedly the mountain forces, as for whether it is from the side of the Sumeru Kingdom or the Chinese Empire, it is actually not important, what matters is how to get out of the current predicament and crisis.
Su Xiaoqi walked back to the carriage and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Outside, Ma Dongping and Liu Dali's expressions were not relaxed, not to mention the enemies who were planning all this in front of them, just Su Xiaoqi's identity, it was obviously impossible to go back smoothly.
The things in front of us are just the beginning, and there are one and two.
Su Xiaoqi sat in the carriage and was not in a hurry to recover his body, after all, this kind of thing requires a lot of time, and it is difficult to change anything for a while, of course, he didn't think about the identity of the person behind the plot, but wandered thousands of miles and thought wildly.
He picked up the couplet he had just thrown in the corner, unfolded it gently, and smiled knowingly.
If he could, he really wanted to bring this couplet back and paste it in front of his small courtyard.
A good "wash the dust to say goodbye to the old year, and welcome the new year without illness and disaster". is quite appropriate to my current situation, no matter how you look at it, it is a good sign.
