Chapter 1: Little Taoist
The Great Qian Dynasty, one hundred and eighty years after the founding of the country, has a peak of national strength, and all countries come to the dynasty.
Shannan County, Song'an Mansion, Miaoshan County, this is a small county seat, living with the mountains, from the county seat to the neighboring counties, isolated for hundreds of miles, and there are many mountains and rivers, and it cannot be reached in three days.
Even this small county town that is "isolated from the world" gathers a large number of residents and sings and dances.
And the most prosperous is the county yamen directly opposite the Ankang Street, restaurants, pawnshops, gambling houses, green buildings, everything.
The hawker's shouting, the restaurant's junior two courteous guests, the Qinglou geisha Yingying Yanyan, and the gamblers who were stripped naked from time to time in the gambling house.
"Little Taoist, get out of the way, you must be setting up a stall to make the master lose money!" A gambler who was thrown out angrily yelled at the Taoist priest who set up a fortune teller next to the gambling house, as if the reason why he lost money was the fault of this Taoist priest!
The little Taoist priest sat quietly behind the stall, white and clean, with red lips and white teeth, he was only sixteen years old, he didn't pay attention to the scolding of the gambler, this situation is not worth his shot.
Seeing that the little Taoist priest did not respond, the gambler felt that the little Taoist priest was afraid of him, and became more and more bold, kicked the stall over, crossed his hands on his waist, raised his head, and squinted at the little Taoist.
"Little Taoist, you caused Lao Tzu to lose money, what do you say you should do?" The gambler clearly wants to extort money.
"Three lepers, you're playing scoundrels and bullying others again, don't you want to live anymore?!"
It is said that when the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, not just talk, the national strength of the Daqian Dynasty is at its peak, the people are simple, and there are countless enthusiastic people. No, a bearded man came out of the crowd, stretched out his hand to grab the gambler's neck, and lifted it up.
The three lepers left their feet off the ground, and without a support point, they kicked indiscriminately, their necks were choked, their breathing was not smooth, their faces were red, and they desperately pulled the arms of the bearded man: "Brother Li, I was wrong, I was just joking with this Taoist priest!" ”
"Three lepers, let me see you bullying people in the future, be careful of your dog's legs."
Seeing that the three lepers were about to be cut off, the bearded man didn't want to kill him, so he threw him aside and let him go for the time being.
The three lepers fell on the paving stones, and regardless of the pain, they hurriedly got up, and fled quickly like a ghost asking for their lives.
"Xiaodao Ye Yang, thank you for your help." Ling Yang bowed his hand to the bearded man to express his gratitude, others have helped, they should express their gratitude, right? Even if he doesn't need someone else to help with it!
"You're welcome, as a person in the rivers and lakes, it is what we should do to punish the strong and eliminate the evil!" The bearded man waved his hand very boldly, not impressed.
Then he kindly reminded the little Taoist: "By the way, little Taoist, don't set up a stall here in the future, gamblers are not easy to get along with, especially gamblers who have lost everything!" ”
He felt that this Taoist priest was a little lacking in heart! The most taboo thing in the gambling house is the cultivator. The good man did it to the end, sent the Buddha to the west, and he reminded the little Taoist!
"Xiaodao has just arrived, and I saw that the feng shui here is excellent, so I put up a list here to measure the words, I didn't think there was this exquisiteness here!"
Ye Yang said that he was like a pure little lamb, he didn't know these taboos, but he didn't listen to the advice of the big man to close the stall and leave, after helping the stall up, put it back up, and continued to sit at the back of the stall as his fortune teller.
"Why is the little Taoist so disobedient!" The bearded man sighed and left, he himself reminded the little Taoist priest that the little Taoist priest did not listen to the advice and found his own death, and he had no obligation to be a bodyguard for the little Taoist priest. And this little Taoist priest speaks in a crepe, not at all as bold as the people in the rivers and lakes, and it takes a lot of effort to talk to him! I don't want to talk to him anymore, so I leave quickly.
Ye Yang continued to sit at the back of the stall, raised his head and chest, staring at the front faintly, with a small serious face.
Several Qinglou women had just come out of the rouge shop, and when they saw Ye Yang in such a posture, they couldn't help but feel teasing!
They all walked around the little Taoist priest and surrounded him left, left and right: "Oh, this little Taoist priest is so handsome, look at this face, red lips and white teeth, it's a pity to be a Taoist!" ”
"Yes! If this little Taoist priest goes to be a scholar, I don't know how many wealthy ladies will be fascinated! ”
"Little Taoist, don't set up a broken stall, follow my sister! Sister raises you! ”
"Die! You hooves, the little Taoist priest should follow me! ”
~~~~~~~
Ye Yang was pulled and swayed from side to side, the Taoist robe on his body couldn't support the pulling force, and made a protest-like sound, which had the meaning of a strike, he hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if it's looking at the face or measuring the characters?" ”
"Ouch! The little Taoist priest can also tell fortunes?! Little Taoist, let's go with my sister! Let's take a look inside the house! ”
"Yes! Look at this face, it's not enough to look at it for a lifetime! After speaking, he also pinched Ye Yang's little face!
Ye Yang hurriedly dodged, trying to dodge these "salty pig hands"!
"That's it! What else do we have to do? It's late to go back, be careful of being scolded by your mother! "There is a woman in the Qinglou urging the sisters to hurry up!
After a few people teased Ye Yang, even if they were very reluctant, they still left Yanyan.
Seeing that several Qinglou women finally left, Ye Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder the master always said that Wei women and villains are difficult to raise, it's terrible! If you're not careful, your robe will be shattered!
The little Taoist priest continued to sit at the back of the stall, expecting business to come to his door, but because his face was too tender and unconvincing, he did not receive a single order until the sun went down.
Seeing that it was not early, the little Taoist priest planned to be paralyzed, after all, this is a small county town, but there is no night market!
Boom~~
A group of thugs poured out of the gambling house to block Ye Yang, and a middle-aged man in steward's clothes walked out, stood on the steps, looked at the little Taoist priest condescendingly, and threatened: "Little Taoist, if you come here again tomorrow to set up a stall, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
Ye Yang looked up at the steward, his delicate face squeezed out a simple smile, as if to say, I'm still a child, don't bully me.
He pinched his fingers and pinched them a few times at random, and said with a sincere face: "Steward, I pinched my fingers yesterday, this guest came to the gambling house with a very heavy evil spirit, and there may be ghosts and ghosts to patronize it tonight!" ”
Hearing Ye Yang say this, the stewards and thugs are all over the place, there can't really be ghosts, right?! They had seen the power of "ghosts" a few days ago.
They remember very clearly that the little Taoist priest came here to set up a stall five days ago! This stunned a large group of people, and there was a Taoist priest in front of the gambling house to set up a fortune telling! It is conceivable that the Taoist priest sitting at the front of the door felt that it was the best order to evict customers, and immediately, the business of the gambling house plummeted, and the flow of people decreased rapidly, and this situation must be dealt with, so the steward of the gambling house took a group of thugs to intimidate the little Taoist.
Who knows that the little Taoist priest is unmoved, should set up a stall or a stall, and can not beat people in broad daylight, in that way, it must be sprayed by the saliva of the common people, and the people who covet the gambling house will not hesitate to fall into the well, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are not vegetarians, so this is to fight the rice bowl of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism.
Three days ago, they heard that the little Taoist lived in a dilapidated small temple, and the neighborhood was deserted, just suitable for them to do it, so they went to the small temple in a mighty way, who knew that they walked all night and saw that the small temple was in front of them, but no matter how they walked, the distance from the small temple was not shortened, as if they had been standing still.
If you want to leave, you can't do it, the terrifying aura gradually spreads, suppressing everyone's hearts, and the thugs are the first to collapse, and the farts are flowing.
It wasn't until after dawn that the little Taoist priest carried his bag, like a child who had not been in an accident, simple and natural, and saw a group of people lying on the ground sleeping horizontally, so he kicked them one by one, and then looked at them with strange eyes: "Hey! What are you doing here? ”
Then they didn't dare to trouble this little Taoist priest anymore, it was too evil. It stopped for a few days, today, the guest gambling house can't hold on, and if you don't solve the trouble of the little Taoist, the guest gambling house will be closed.
Thinking of this, the little Taoist priest is such an evil sect, can't he really have a ghostly spirit?! The steward hurriedly looked around, don't really come out with any powerful ghosts with a cloak of hair!
"Little Taoist, say it! What the hell do you want?! The steward planned to get straight to the point, what kind of moth would he make if he really filmed the little Taoist, so he asked him directly, do you want to see what the little Taoist is going to do?
Ye Yang saw that the steward was so knowledgeable, so he didn't embarrass him and made his own conditions.
I saw him stretch out a finger, sway, and say, "One hundred taels!" ”
"Why don't you grab it?!" As soon as he heard the conditions of the little Taoist, the steward was furious, his monthly salary was only ten taels, and the thug door was even less, three taels were not, and the entire guest gambling house only earned a thousand taels a year, just this thousand taels, or the most profitable store in this remote small county. This little Taoist priest dared to open his mouth and asked for a hundred taels!
"Rob? That's against the law! "Ye Yang despises this group of people, can the laws of the court be violated? If you have violated the laws of the imperial court, will you still be able to find food openly in the future?!
At this time, a voice came from the second floor of the gambling house: "What's the matter, give it to him!" ”
It seems that he is a person who can really talk about things, but the person in charge did not show up, I don't know if Ye Yang's level is not enough? Or is it because of something else?!
"Go to the counter and get a hundred taels!" The steward instructed a little minion to fetch the silver taels.
"Remember to take ninety taels of silver and ten taels of silver." Ye Yang said behind the back of the little minion.
The steward stared at Ye Yang desperately, this little Taoist priest was too inch-inch! He can't wait to beat up the little Taoist!
"What's wrong with the steward's eyes? Could it be that he has fallen into evil? But judging from Xiaodao's many years of experience, it doesn't look like an evil spirit?! Could it be that it is sick? It can't be a sheep madness! Ye Yang looked left and right around the steward.
The steward snorted coldly, turned around and went to the gambling house, no longer paying attention to this proud little Taoist priest, out of sight, not upset.
"Little Taoist, as a cultivator, practicing the way of extortion, aren't you afraid of damaging your merits?!" The voice from upstairs asked again!
"Take the money from the gambling house, don't be afraid!" Ye Yang took the silver ticket from the little minion, put it in his arms, and put it in his pocket, finally having money, and no longer need to live in a broken temple and drink porridge!
"Little Taoist, if you are short of money, you can go to Fan Yuanwailang's house!"
"Fan Yuanwailang's family? What happened to his family? Ye Yang asked suspiciously!
"Go, you'll know!"
After the second floor said this, there was no movement, no matter how Ye Yang asked, no one responded, he could only leave boringly!
