The rain continued for more than 20 days until the end of May.

As a result of this disaster, countless people have been displaced, and many banks of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers have been executed, flooding farmland and villages, and it is difficult to count the casualties.

With this disaster, following the great drought in the north ten years ago, Jiangnan was also greatly damaged with its vitality, and ten rooms were empty.

And just as the heavy rain subsided and the flood gradually receded, the people had no time to cheer when the plague broke out.

After the flood, many plagues are rampant, and this is a constant truth throughout the ages.

Countless corpses were carried by the flood and scattered in all directions, many of which rotted and deteriorated in the water, and when the flood waters receded, they infected the groundwater, and the people contracted the plague as soon as they drank it.

At the beginning of June, almost every household in Hangzhou hung white cloths, and coughing could be seen everywhere on the streets.

The business of the coffin shop is so good that it is explosive, and if there is not enough wood, the door panel is used to make up the number, and for a thin coffin, I don't know how many people break their scalps.

Not to mention the business of pharmacies and pharmacies, where patients lie in the courtyard when they can't sit in the house, and the long queue to see a doctor can be discharged for hundreds of meters, and the price of medicinal materials is higher than gold.

is different from the gloom of the people, but Wang Xu is fame and fortune.

Because of the flood, all the academies were basically on holiday, and the scholars had a literary atmosphere to protect their bodies, and there were not many people who contracted the plague, and all of them hid at home to warm their books.

The three-character book is expensive in Luoyang for a while, who can't read two sentences at the beginning of people, the nature is good, you are embarrassed to say hello to people.

Affected by this, Wang Xu's suppression of the Poison Dragon Ancestor was also rumored, and it is said that even the script came out.

The casino also opened a handicap for this purpose, betting on when Wang Xu will become a Confucian.

One pays ten within three years, one pays five within five years, one pays two within ten years, and one pays one within 20 years.

If in the past, others regarded him as a future Confucian, but in fact he was still a Jinshi.

Now, he is the fame of Jinshi and the prestige of Confucianism, and the real Confucianism does not dare to pretend to be big in front of him.

If anyone is not satisfied, he will also write a three-character scripture, or suppress a demon king to speak again.

The demon king is okay to say, he is at the same level as the great Confucian, and there are not a few great Confucians who can suppress the demon king.

The three-character scripture is really difficult, this is the culmination of ancient literature, enlightenment first, and the sages should be full of praise when they read it.

It is even rumored that if it is not Wang Xu who wrote the three-character scripture, but a veteran Confucian, I am afraid that he can be a god with this book and obtain the position of a sage.

Wang Xu didn't say anything about this, but he was secretly wondering, after the plague receded, the academy would open again, and how many students would come here.

Night...

Knock knock!!

Late at night, Wang Xu was sleeping soundly when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

Wang Xu was sleeping Zhengxiang, and he was very irritable when he was woken up, and he was reluctant to get up while lying on the bed.

The people outside the door did not answer, but continued to knock on the door as if they had not heard it.

The knocking sound was three long and two short, especially regular, Wang Xu lay on the bed and listened, and his heart moved slightly.

Knocking on the door at this hour, and still not speaking, it must not be Liu He or the porter.

In Ziyang Academy, there are only three of them alive now, since it is not Liu He and the gatehouse, it must be a good thing to come to the door.

"The Poisonous Dragon Ancestor has been captured by me for many days, and now that the flood has receded and the plague has just started, isn't it taking advantage of this idle stall to redeem people in the Dongting Dragon Palace?"

When Wang Xu thought of this, he was completely sleepy, and said loudly: "Don't knock, it's coming." ”

Put on his shoes, Wang Xu put on a robe and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, there was a white-faced ghost standing outside wearing a white coat and a white hat with a red tongue.

Look again, the white hat is written in a red pen: "Fortune at first sight." ”

"Brother, do you remember my brother?"

The white hat had white powder on his face and stuck out his tongue, but he looked very happy when he saw Wang Xu.

When Wang Xu saw the four words "Shengcai", he guessed the identity of the person who came, and after careful identification, it was indeed Xie Bi'an's appearance.

"Brother Xie, aren't you dead?" Wang Xu recognized Xie Bi'an, but he didn't call it directly, because now that the underworld had just come into the world, there was no reason for him to recognize black and white impermanence at a glance.

Xie Bi'an saw Wang Xu's shock, put away the tongue in his mouth, changed his appearance when he was a mortal, and sighed: "I was originally a Jiangnan businessman, and I learned two magic techniques by chance, not seeking to help the world, but only to be alone, but I didn't expect that everything was fixed.

Before my death, I was good at catching souls, and my eighth brother was good at taking souls, and after my death, thanks to the grace of the King of Jizo, the King of Yama took a fancy to it, and recruited my two brothers to join the underworld and take over the Hall of Impermanence, but it was less of the suffering of reincarnation. ”

In a few words, Xie Bi'an explained the situation.

Wang Xu made up for it again, it was nothing more than Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusheng, they were good at catching souls and souls before they were alive, and they were affectionate and righteous when they died.

The prefecture is opening a government and is in urgent need of talents, and the top leaders above are wondering, you two are the talents that my prefecture needs.

Okay, there's no need to reincarnate, just follow us and do it well, and in the future, it will be indispensable to eat fragrant food and drink spicy food.

"Brother Xie, why are you here?" Looking back, Wang Xu realized that something was wrong again, Xie Bi'an had been dead for a month, why didn't he come early or late, but he was in time tonight?

When Xie Bi'an heard this, he smiled and said with a smile: "Brother, I can't hide it, I'm here to report to you." Your father Wang Dafa's yang life has arrived, and he will die in the afternoon in five days, if he can survive this catastrophe, he will live to eighty-three, and if he can't get through, he will return to the underworld.

You must remember that five days later, on the afternoon of the seventh day of the sixth month, you must not let your father leave the house, your Wang family has the great merit of disaster relief to protect the ancestral house, and there is a champion plaque to suppress luck, and if you don't leave the house, this disaster can be avoided. ”

After Xie Bi'an said this, he looked at the moon in the sky, and said: "The cycle of life and death is the destiny of heaven, and the hell just follows the sky, the more interference, the greater the backlash, and there is not much I can do."

We have always remembered the meaning of the fact that you buried my two brothers in the earth that day, so we secretly ran out to tell you.

It's a pity that people and ghosts have different paths, I can't come to see you often, and I don't know when I will see you next time, so take care. ”

After saying that, Xie Bi'an turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared directly into the ground.

Wang Xu didn't expect Xie Bi'an to leave so simply, and said hurriedly: "Brother Xie, Brother Xie?" ”

No one answered, Xie Bi'an's escape technique seemed to be a Taoist technique, but in fact it was not at all.

Under Wang Xu's induction, he seemed to be using some kind of law of heaven and earth to freely travel through the two worlds of yin and yang, with white smoke on this side, Xie Bi'an returned to the underworld over there, and the two sides were separated by more than 108,000 miles.

"I'm too anxious to go, I still want to ask if there is a god in the underworld, and plan for my parents." Wang Xu looked helpless, and it seemed that he could only wait for next time.

Seeing Xie Bi'an away, Wang Xu turned around and went back to the room.

On the afternoon of five days later, Wang Dafa was about to respond to the catastrophe, and if he couldn't get over this catastrophe, he would die, and he would be able to add another twenty years of longevity after the pass.

With Xie Bi'an's guidance and precautions in advance, this catastrophe should not be difficult to overcome.

Wang Xu wrote a letter to his family overnight, waking up Liu He and asking him to send him to Jinshan Mansion quickly, and repeatedly told Liu He that in the afternoon after five days, he must not let the master leave the house, and he must be tied up at home.

Liu He got the letter and promised again and again, and went out in the stars and the moon.

Seeing Liu He leave, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to continue to catch up on sleep and sleep for a while, there was a knock on the door again.

"Xie Bi'an is back again?"

Wang Xu just lay down, didn't even take off his clothes, and hurriedly opened the door when he heard a knock.

As soon as the door opened, a burst of water vapor came to his face, and when he looked out, it was not Xie Bi'an, but he was still an acquaintance...... Ao Xin, the seventh princess of the West Lake Dragon Palace.

"Why are you here?"

I haven't seen her for more than a year, Ao Xin seems to have grown up a lot, her eyes are a little less innocent, a little more cold, and the changes are so big that people wonder if they are twin sisters.

"I'm not welcome?"

Ao Xin didn't enter the house either, poked there coldly, and said: "When the demons attacked, you used me to block the gun, and almost killed me, do you remember this incident?" ”

"Remember, you're here to get revenge on me?"

Wang Xu frowned slightly, when he went to Ao Xin's appointment and went to the restaurant to participate in the poetry meeting, he met the fake Yuan Rusi.

At the critical moment, he pushed Ao Xin out, in order to use Ao Xin to distract the demon's attention, so as to have a grudge with the West Lake Dragon Palace, how could he not remember.

"I'm not looking for revenge on you."

Ao Xin shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said: "The West Lake is located in Hangzhou, and the matter of the Poisonous Dragon Ancestor should also be solved by my West Lake Dragon Palace. If you are willing to agree, how about you write off the grievances with my West Lake? ”

"The matter of Dongting Dragon Palace, you took over the West Lake Dragon Palace?" Wang Xu looked strange, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, but the Dongting Dragon Palace knew that he was losing money in front of the West Lake Dragon Palace, so he invited the West Lake Dragon Palace to come forward to settle the matter.

It may really be the case, although the incident back then was caused by Ao Xin, but he used Ao Xin as a shield and almost killed Ao Xin, it is difficult to say which is right and which is wrong.

Later, the West Lake Dragon Palace did not pursue it, and let him leave with Fahai, so that it seemed that he was not particular.

"How?" Ao Xin still had a cold face and didn't say a word.

Wang Xu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, the West Lake Dragon Palace intended to be repaired, and he didn't mind smiling and grudging.

However, with one water bead and three pieces of dragon blood ink, the price is too low.

It is true that the water beads can manipulate the seawater, which is the magic weapon of the aquarium, but the grade of the water beads is not high, and the general-level sea tribes disdain to use it, and they all use better water beads.

As for the dragon blood ink, it is made of dragon blood, which belongs to the best ink inkstone among the literati, and can add three percent of the power when used to write articles, and a piece of dragon blood ink can top a fourth-order demon soldier, and it has no price.

Together, the two are more than enough to buy a fourth-order demon, but it is not enough to buy the Poison Dragon Ancestor, the Poison Dragon Ancestor is a fifth-order demon king after all, and this thing is still a little bit worse.

"One water bead, five pieces of dragon blood ink."

When Wang Xu said this, his tone paused slightly, and he said, "In addition, I want my bird!" ”

"Your birds?" Subconsciously, Ao Xin glanced at Wang Xu's crotch.

Wang Xu's face turned dark, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not this one, it's the golden-eyed silver-winged eagle that I didn't take with me when I left." ”

Ao Xin hesitated slightly, this was something that Wang Xu didn't have when he asked for the water beads and five pieces of dragon blood ink, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Yes..."

"Multiple friends and multiple roads, let the previous things pass, this is good for me and for your West Lake Dragon Palace."

Wang Xu has great ambitions, and he is not willing to grudge against the West Lake Dragon Palace, and he is happy to see it happen when he has the steps.

With a shake of his hands, he released the golden book, and the poisonous dragon ancestor who was sealed in it came out of trouble.

As soon as the Poison Dragon Ancestor came out, he saw Ao Xin wearing palace clothes and a cold face, first glared at Wang Xu angrily, and then smiled at Ao Xinqian, turned around and left without saying a word.

Ao Xin saw the Poison Dragon Ancestor leave, and when he couldn't see anyone, he raised the lotus step lightly, and walked out without looking back: "The things will be sent to you tomorrow morning, in addition, you have leveled the West Lake Dragon Palace, and the enmity with me has to be counted again." ”

Wang Xu didn't answer, he couldn't even let people go if he didn't say cruel words.

Looking at Ao Xin, who was driving away, Wang Xu took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, and snorted lightly: "A princess with only low-level bloodlines also wants to settle accounts with me, hum, don't measure yourself, when you are the Dragon Monarch of West Lake!" ”
