Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hallucination?!
When Li Yanzhi faintly saw some spiritual grass on Uncle Jin's opening stone, and felt that he had been addicted to "Shencao Lu" for too long, so that he hallucinated in broad daylight and went crazy, he didn't notice that there was a trace of relief and approval on Uncle Jin's honest-looking face beside him.
Time passed in a hurry, and that night Uncle Jin, Aunt Hua, and Wei Yinyin gathered in Aunt Hua's courtyard.
Uncle Jin directly bent over and sat on the ground, like an ordinary village man, smoking a dry tobacco bag.
Aunt Hua sat on the edge of the kang with her little feet crossed, wiping her embroidery needles one by one.
Sister Wei sat on a bench and quietly looked out the window at the quiet moonlight.
The small courtyard of the leisurely and calm farmhouse is exceptionally quiet.
"I heard that there are a lot of people in the city who are looking for a cure. Uncle Jin put down the dry tobacco pouch and took the lead in breaking the silence and said.
"Well, there are five waves of forces in total, and hundreds of people are looking for them all over the city every day. Aunt Hua spoke, her eyes kept on the embroidery needle, and wiped it carefully.
"Zhi'er has been in the village for forty days, and he has learned a lot about what we have taught him, so it's time to go out and practice. Wei Yin said.
"The pit I dug myself, I should bury it, and Zhi'er should really deal with the trouble he caused. Aunt Hua agreed.
"A bird will never become an eagle with wings spread without a life-and-death struggle. Uncle Jin nodded in agreement.
In this regard, the three of them unanimously agreed to take Zhi'er into the city tomorrow to sell mountain goods.
When Li Yanzhi knew the news, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a good thing for no reason. Then he suddenly screamed excitedly, jumping three feet high - he was held in a small dark room for so long, reading books, watching puppets, and reading music scores every day, and he was so dull and bored that he almost vomited.
I was finally able to go out and play crazy for a few days, and I was in a very happy mood.
I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night, and Li Yanzhi got up early the next morning to wake up the three elders who were still asleep. Then he urged the east and the west, diligently helped Aunt Hua beat her back, helped Uncle Jin make breakfast, helped Wei Yinyin get things, and settled the three little guys Long Kongkong, Sugar Baby, and Bai Xiaopang. Finally, an hour later, in Li Yanzhi's thousand calls, the four of them set off.
Uncle Jin, Aunt Hua, and Wei Yinyin held back a smile all the way, looking at Li Yanzhi, who was walking like a fly in front of him and going to his heart like an arrow.
Li Yanzhi grinned at the corner of his mouth, holding the mountain goods that the three elders were going to sell in the city in one hand, and the other hand in his chest pocket, which contained all his belongings - one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Last time, Octopus gave him a reward of 200 taels of silver, and used 50 taels to buy things for the three elders and three babies.
Last time, I heard that there was a top girl named Green in Cuihong Courtyard, who looked like a sinking fish and geese, and a shy flower in the closed moon.
I heard that there is a storyteller in the east of the city, what ancient and modern strange tales, wild history and strange things, and immortal roads, what is said to be a wonderful one, this time I have to listen to it anyway.
I also heard that a Taoist temple in the west of the city came to a master who cultivated immortals, who traveled through the clouds and rain, soared the clouds and drove the fog, and was simply omnipotent, so he also wanted to pay a visit. I always feel that I have opened the qualification of cultivating immortals, and it is right to find an opportunity to worship an immortal cultivator as a teacher, and it is right to step into the right path of immortal cultivators. It is not always a matter to be "ravaged" by three parents every day in the village for no apparent reason.
I heard again......
There are so many calculations in his heart, so when Li Yanzhi came to the bustling and bustling Taixu City, he couldn't think of what to do first for a while. I just want to have eight legs and four bodies, and I can do everything at once before I can be happy.
Subconsciously tightened the cloth bag he was carrying behind him, and Li Yanzhi thought tangled about where to go first.
The backpack was full of yellow rune paper and arrows from the crossbow. There are some things on the yellow rune paper that resemble ghost drawing talismans, which Li Yanzhi drew by himself. The original copy was a copy of the "Fu Gong Codex" that was said to be specially designed to deal with demons and evil spirits.
Strange to say, Li Yanzhi had also tried to imitate and depict the patterns on this codex before, but he had not been able to grasp the essentials after copying them for a long time. But this time he was locked up in a small black house, and when Li Yanzhi wrote again, he had a new feeling-
Looking at the patterns on the "Fu Zheng Codex", luck, brushwork, and portrayal seemed to have a trickle of heat from his body, poured into the brush, and finally condensed into the pattern, the whole process was completed in one go, and it was indescribably hearty.
Li Yanzhi even seemed to see faint streamers flashing from the talisman he had drawn.
At the same time, he was very excited, and felt that maybe the talisman drawn this time was extraordinary, so he brought it to the city to find a respected immortal cultivator to help him take a look.
As for the arrows, each arrow is also engraved with the same talisman pattern, Li Yanzhi's conjecture is that on the one hand, it can be used for self-defense, in case of emergency, he has not forgotten that he has offended two amazing people, the blue-faced man and the ink enchantment.
On the other hand, if your conjecture is correct, this talisman is really effective and can work on things like demons and evils, then wouldn't it be possible to carry a mechanical crossbow on your back in the future and eliminate demons everywhere. It's very majestic when you think about it.
"Little brother, have you seen my grandson?" Just when Li Yanzhi was thinking about it in his heart, he was suddenly bumped by someone in the back, and an old and tired voice sounded.
Li Yanzhi turned his head and saw a gray-haired old woman, with a gray face, her clothes were tattered and full of patches, and the soles of a pair of shoes on her feet had long been worn out, revealing red and bleeding toes, and she was miserable and pitiful.
"Little brother, have you seen my grandson?" Seeing that Li Yanzhi didn't react, the old woman asked again, and handed a portrait tightly in her withered hand to Li Yanzhi, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
This is a very delicate and weak boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, but unfortunately Li Yanzhi has never seen him.
Seeing Li Yanzhi shaking his head, the glimmer of hope in the old woman's eyes disappeared, and two lines of tears flowed in the cloudy old eyes.
"What about my grandson? He said that he was waiting for me at Celadon Mouth, he is a child who has made promises, and what he said has never been impossible to do, why did I wait for him at Celadon Mouth for three days and three nights, and I didn't see him? Chen'er, where have you been?"
The old woman leaned against the wall, muttering misery. Then he suddenly tilted his head, and the fatigue of these days attacked, and he fainted.
"Old woman!" Li Yanzhi exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly supported the other party's withered body, feeling very unbearable.
"She's hungry, so Zhi'er went to buy some buns. ”
At this time, Aunt Hua, Uncle Jin, and Wei Yinyin caught up, and Uncle Jin touched the old woman's pulse and said to Li Yanzhi.
Li Yanzhi nodded and ran towards the bun shop next to him.
"Old woman, this is a freshly baked bun, eat some. When Li Yanzhi came back, he found that the old woman had woken up, and was holding Aunt Hua's hand crying and talking.
It turned out that the old woman Wen had a grandson Duanmuchen, and ten days ago, the grandfather and grandson came to Taixu City to sell some firewood and eggs to fill the family. Duanmuchen was afraid that his grandmother would be tired, so he left two cents for his grandmother to eat, so he carried firewood and eggs to sell them. Before leaving, he told his grandmother to wait for him here, and he would come back to pick her up in the evening, whether it was sold out or not.
But he didn't expect that Duanmuchen never came back after that, and the grandmother waited here vigorously, waiting for three days and three nights, and never saw her grandson again.
The two pennies left by her grandson for her, she only spent one penny to buy a few steamed buns, and the rest of the pennies originally wanted to save up, after all, her grandson would marry a daughter-in-law in a few years. Now that his grandson was gone, Wen couldn't find it everywhere, so he finally had to use the remaining pennies to let the painter paint a portrait, wandering the streets and alleys, looking for his grandson's whereabouts.
It's a pity that ten days have passed, and Sun Tzu Duanmuchen still hasn't been found.
"Old sister-in-law, Jiren has his own natural appearance, I see that your grandson is blessed and will definitely come back. Aunt Hua comforted, and at the same time handed the bun in Li Yanzhi's hand to Wen's.
Wen devoured it.
Li Yanzhi felt a little calmer, and at the same time remembered Duanmuchen's appearance with his heart - he would also pay attention to the whereabouts of this young man in the future.
In a nearby inn, Wen's room was booked for a month, and three meals a day were provided in the inn, and Li Yanzhi gave Wen's dozens of dollars in case of emergency, which caused the old woman to cry and be grateful, and then left with Uncle Jin, Aunt Hua, and Sister Wei.
Although Li Yanzhi sympathized with Wen, there was only so much he could do.
"My son is not only kind-hearted, but also thoughtful, yes, and has not wasted so many years of teaching. Behind Li Yanzhi, Aunt Hua chuckled proudly.
Uncle Jin and Wei Yinyin smiled and said nothing, and there was also a look of relief in their eyes - giving Wen's dozens of dollars was not to cure stinginess, but because he was thoughtful, knowing that if such a lonely old woman suddenly had a lot of money, it would cause trouble.
A group of four people walked to Chenghuang Street carrying the mountain goods to be sold, and behind them, a Yunyin Guan Taoist boy stared at Li Yanzhi's face for a long time, and when it was determined that this was the person the master was looking for, one of them disappeared into the crowd.
