Liu Bowen did not participate in this matter, Liu Laosan married his daughter, and only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but he also heard that Yu Niang was plundered by thieves, and Liu Laosan also looked for him afterwards and asked him to help calculate Yu Niang's whereabouts. Liu Bowen took a hexagram for him, the hexagram is bizarre, as if he is dead, and it seems to be still in the world, Liu Bowen has never seen such a strange hexagram, he is puzzled, and he did not hide it and told Liu Laosan, this hexagram is exactly what Liu Laosan wants to know, at least there is hope.

Liu Bowen also sighed that Yu Niang was ill-fated, he wanted to help, but he was powerless, he was a scholar, he couldn't lift his hands, he couldn't resist his shoulders, what could he do? The strange thing is that the robbers who robbed the jade lady did not send someone to ask for money, and the county yamen came to find some Yuzi without a clue, but the Liu family and the Gao family broke up for this matter.

A month later, except for Liu Laosan's family, which is still gloomy, other people's families gradually don't take this matter to heart, since this gang of robbers doesn't want money, can Yu Niang still be good? I'm afraid it hasn't been ...... long ago Throw the corpse away.

But no one thought that things would turn out like this.

This said, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the moon is bright and quiet, and a few Confucian scholars in the county came to visit. The people Liu Bowen got acquainted with were naturally all rich and talented people. He was also happy, the mountain village **, there was a group of old farmers guarding the whole day, and there was nothing in common to say, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Among the people who came were Mr. Yuan Chu of the county school, Xu Lang Xu Gongzi, a jinshi from the last scientific examination, and Zhao Hong, a master of science. Some came on donkeys, some on chariots, and some on horses, but none of them were empty-handed. Zhao Hong, who was driving the car, pulled two jars of daughter Hong, and Mr. Yuan Chu, who rode a donkey, brought ten catties of beef and a few fresh fish. Xu Lang brought a few catties of good tea, as well as some fresh fruits and vegetables.

Liu Bowen is quiet and elegant here, no one disturbs, and a few people often come to live for a few days, drink tea, talk about poetry, and discuss major events in the world.

Liu Bowen was not polite, he first looked at the things brought by a few people, turned over the fruits and vegetables brought by Xu Lang, and said dissatisfiedly: "The fruit is a little wilted, isn't it the leftover from the guests of Cuixianglou?" ”

Xu Lang is young and handsome, his poetry and writing are unique, he is a rare talent, and he naturally attracts the admiration of some Qinglou women such as Oiran, Liu Bowen joked that he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "**Tian, your **Dao mouth, no wonder the official does not last long, these fruits and vegetables are planted by my lady herself, you can eat them, that is a great virtue......"

Mr. Yuan Chu was a madman, and when he got off the back of the donkey, he shouted loudly: "Lao Liu, tell your people to quickly stew these fish, put fresh ginger and raw garlic, and simmer them over low heat......

The four of them talked and laughed, and when they entered the house, the Liu family was an old servant, and several people did not care about the ancient precepts of the gentleman who was far away from cooking, and did it himself, and worked for most of the night, making a table of dishes, although the color and fragrance were not accounted for, after all, they were hands-on, and the food was also sweet.

The two altars of daughter red are fifteen years old, and the strength of the wine is not small, but the celebrities are all drunken and crazy singers, and the amount of alcohol is naturally not small, a few people first talked about the way of poetry, and then took out the articles written by each one for others to taste, unconsciously, but it passed most of the night. I drank a jar and a half of wine, but no one got off the wine table, and I still talked about it from a high level, and when I talked about it, I talked about the general trend of the world.

"Brother Qingtian, if there is chaos today, the wind and clouds are changing, I am afraid that the Dayuan country is also coming to an end, look at today, there are Han Lin'er, Liu Futong in the north, Sesame Li, Peng Da, Guo Zixing, and Peng Yingyu and Xu Shouhui in the south. Vigorous, with a red scarf on his head, my generation of scholars can only be ashamed of being a book beetle! Xu Lang was already seven or eight points drunk, and he no longer had any scruples, and talked eloquently.

"Brother Ziming, it's true that the world is in turmoil, but these people are all using Mingjiao, the name of the White Lotus, and the world's major events, do they have to rely on these people who worship Mingzun and worship different gods? It's really strange, those who don't follow the avenue are able to win the world and sit firmly? Brother Ziming, don't be impatient, now that the chaos is rising, it is not yet known who will kill the deer, wait and see......"

"If you meet the master, Brother Qingtian can show his ambitions! I'm stunned! ”

The officialdom of the Great Yuan Dynasty has been up to now, and it is still based on the system of officials as the core, followed by the imperial examination, the shadow supplement and the Su Wei into the office, and the recommendation to enter the office, the national study tribute and the Nasu supplement to supplement the official system. Most of the high-ranking officials came from the semi-hereditary Mongols, Semu, and even the Han people who had served the Yuan court earlier, "noble relatives and ministers, military generals", and at the same time, there were still many "rootless" personnel who were born as officials. Among the middle and lower-level officials, the officials accounted for the vast majority, and even some people asserted at that time: "I have the world, and I will rule together, and I will be nineteen officials with swords and pens." ”

No matter how talented a person is, under this system, it is impossible to be Tian Shelang and ascend to Tianzitang at dusk, even if he is admitted to a half-official position, he is also angry everywhere, and he is called by a knife and pen official, Liu Bowen is like this.

Speaking of the indignation, Xu Lang took out the sword at his waist and said loudly: "I heard the Red Turban Army Brother in the next occasion, very heroic and majestic, I Xu Ziming is not talented, but I am also willing to learn from the class Zhongsheng to put pen to paper, and now I will sing this military song, which also shows that although my generation is a scholar, he also has a manly spirit......"

"The clouds are from the dragon, the wind is from the tiger, and the dust and earth are fame. Looking at Shenzhou, the people are bitter, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren. Look at the world, as much as you want, and make up for the defects of heaven. Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the lord. Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, kill all Hu Erfang and stop. I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow. The strong man drank the wine in the bowl and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles. The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly......"

The song was heroic and passionate, and the three of them were also agitated in their chests, and they were about to applaud, but when they saw Xu Langlang staggering towards the door, Liu Bowen hurriedly said: "Brother Ziming, after drinking all night, the sky is about to dawn, and if you want to join the army, you are not in a hurry at this time, and you will go again when you wake up, okay?" Xu Langyang raised the sword in his hand: "Urgency, small relief!" The other three were stunned and laughed in unison. They all laughed at him and scolded him for being a layman.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and late autumn was when the fog was filled, Xu Lang staggered out of the door, and was just about to relieve himself, but he saw a woman in red coming out of the fog.

The woman only has a piece of red clothes on her body, and the rest of the place**, her face is dripping with blood, her body is blue and purple, her eyes are blank, shrouded in a layer of death, her black hair is messy, and a few locks of hair fall from the scattered bun, blocking her forehead. There was also black-brown dirty blood gushing out of the corners of his mouth. A body of filth. Barefooted, step by step, mechanically, stiffly walked forward, silently.

At this time, the sky is not black, it is said that it is not bright, such a situation, it is really unspeakably weird and gloomy, Xu Lang is already stunned, there is still urine there, fighting the sword, and boldly asked: "Girl...... This is? ”

The woman grinned, but her throat was hoarse, ahh......hhh It was not like a human voice, and he couldn't say a word, but blood gushed out along the open mouth and flowed on the bruised body, Xu Lang saw clearly that the woman's mouth was empty and empty, and there was no tongue!

"Hell!" Xu Lang was so frightened that he ran back with a crawl, and Liu Bowen and the three of them were still talking and laughing in the house, but they saw him with a pale face and said, "Outside...... There's a female ghost outside! After saying that, he stroked his chest and gasped for air.

Zhao Hongnai is a master of science, and when he saw him like this, he scolded: "You are also a Confucian disciple, learn the words of the sage, don't you know that the son is silent and the strange power is confused?" Calm down, go out with the old man to have a look! ”

Having said that, Old Master Zhao also has doubts in his heart, Xu Lang is a celebrity, not a person who talks nonsense, there must be a reason for it, but no matter what, the old man and I are all heroic and upright, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But he picked up the stick of the branch door in his hand and took the lead to go out, Liu Bowen, Yuan Chu, Xu Lang followed closely, Xu Lang had a sword in his hand, Yuan Chu picked up a wooden stool, and went out of the door.

When I went out, I saw that in the fog, the woman in red was lying on the ground, her limbs twitching and struggling towards Liu's house, the white fog couldn't hide the only remaining red on the woman's body, but this scene, in this fog, weird, gloomy to the extreme, everyone gasped.

After a pause, Zhao Hong suddenly shouted, "The Holy Ancestor Zeng Yun, the spirit of wood and stone, the strange dragon in the water, and the demon in the soil are the grave sheep." This is a deep mountain, the aura is sufficient, it is the place where the essence of wood and stone is born, this woman can't speak, full of **, beautiful like a flower, must be the mountain rough charm change, I and other Confucian children, a heroic and righteous spirit, how to be afraid? If you can't even sweep away this mountain spirit and wild monster, how can you talk about sweeping the world? Everyone, let me strike it! ”

The words fell, raised the wooden stool in his hand, strode to the woman, and slammed it down with the strength of the wine, as soon as he made a move, Xu Lang also gritted his teeth and came over, raised the sword in his hand, and poked at the woman's body, while poking, he said loudly: "Ghost, is it really easy to be a scholar of my generation?" Blind your thief's eye......"

Yuan Chu was not to be outdone, raised a wooden stick to help, the wine borrowed people's guts, a good fight, the woman opened her frightened eyes wide, her mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to say something, however, no matter how hard she tried, all she made was a meaningless hiss......

The bright red blood flowed out like this, like a bubbling spring, she was powerless to resist, her body seemed to be convulsed, but the convulsions became weaker and weaker, and she didn't move with a lot of effort!

Liu Bowen felt that something was wrong in a trance, he drank too much wine, and he didn't think clearly about it for a while, just when he was stunned, suddenly a yin wind swept through the mist, and in an instant, there was no figure of the woman on the ground except for bloodstains.
