Chapter Twenty-Eight: Juxian Building

The three of them rushed Xishen day and night all the way, and they didn't talk about it anymore, and said that this time, Lin Qi saw that hunger was everywhere, ten villages to eight villages were barren, the closer they were to the Yellow River, but they were miserable, and the people who fled the famine were countless, and even the entire village was dead.

Lin Qi also asked Zhou Xing, what did these people do? Why did you end up in such a situation? Zhou Xing said to him unfathomably: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Hearing this, Lin Qi was silent, he was also born in a mountain village, and he knew best what the people wanted, nothing more than having a place to live and a stable meal, most of them were like his parents, kind, and harmless to people, but the court was unreasonable, heaven and earth were not benevolent, what else was there to say?

Zhou Xing also had a headache for Lin Qi, this kid had too many questions, and he was very strange and tricky, sometimes he was speechless when asked, and he was very faceless, such as asking him: Master, do you say that these people who died of disaster and starvation are all bad people?

Zhou Xing said no, and Lin Qi asked, then why did these people die in vain? Zhou Xing said that this is a causal cycle, and Lin Qi asked again: Since it is a causal cycle, so many people are circulated together? None of them are good people? Zhou Xing began to have a headache, but he still patiently told him: God is in charge of the cycle of cause and effect, we are mortals, and we can't speculate on the will of heaven.

Lin Qi asked: Isn't Taoist cultivating immortals just going against the sky? The sky is reversed, why can't we speculate on the will of heaven? Zhou Xing said: "Don't talk about the will of heaven or anything, this world is chaotic, our Taoist priests are respected, and there are many people who die in vain, so that we can exorcise ghosts and draw talismans, and only then can we have something to eat." Lin Qi shook his head and asked: If the master has this thought, he is not afraid of the causal cycle?

Zhou Xing......

Three days later, when he finally arrived at Huanglinggang, Lin Qi gradually became silent, and Zhou Xing was relieved, he didn't know what Lin Qi was thinking in his little head, why did he have so many questions? Don't say that these questions are him, even if you are in charge of the Heavenly Master, I am afraid that it will be difficult to answer. However, this kid draws inferences, his brain reacts very quickly, and his qualifications are good, so he is really a good material for cultivation.

Zhou Xing also sighed secretly for a long time, if his stupid son had half of Lin Qi's intelligence, he wouldn't have to be so careless, they were all teenagers, this gap was really not a little bit, and then he thought about it, could it be that this is his own cultivation is not strong, and God punished him? Giving birth to such a stupid son is my own cause and effect. I couldn't help but shudder at the thought of this, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Drove the corpse to Yizhuang that Han Shantong said, and received the remaining thirty taels of silver, Zhou Xing decided never to drive the corpse again in this life, fifty taels of silver seems to be a lot, but it is also a lot of hard work, not to mention that he has been walking for almost a month, there are so many dangers in this, that there is peace of mind to catch ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, and watch feng shui?

Zhou Xing saw that his father had received the money, so he yelled to eat big buns, Zhou Xing saw that he and Lin Qi were full of dust, remembered the hardships of the road, and also felt a little guilty, and said with a smile: "I will take you to eat some good ones today." ”

Zhou Dian, Lin Qi two laughed, Zhou Xing took the two down the mountain, to Jiyin County, Jiyin County belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, after the Jin Dynasty, the Yellow River crossed, in the county border caused three old roads, repeatedly broke the flood, this summer broke again, the imperial court conscripted people from all over the country to govern the river, all gathered in Chuqiu County, Kaocheng County, Jiyin County, three counties, forming a deformed prosperity.

When I arrived in the county, an apricot wine flag was particularly eye-catching on the green tile house. The name is also good to call Juxian Building. Lift the door curtain, there is a little er Ma Yu ushered in, and he was courteous to Zhou Xing: "Master Dao, please inside, the small shop has good bamboo leaf green, and freshly roasted beef, not a small bragging, the beef in our store is ruddy and bright, the meat is delicate, and it is not greasy to eat......"

Zhou Dian was drooling when he heard it, so he didn't care about the rest, he took the first step to drag the little two, goo! swallowed and spitted, and said loudly: "Three catties of bamboo leaves, ten catties of beef, and five drawers of big buns, Dao Ye, I will eat beef, hurry up!" ”

Xiao Er was stupid, he ushered in the self-acquaintance who was sent to be quite accurate, I originally saw that these three people did not look like rich masters, and the dedication was nothing more than these business slumps, thinking that the door was a guest, and it was a little bit more to sell, but I didn't expect to take on a big job, but these three people wanted three catties of bamboo leaves, ten catties of beef, and five drawers of buns, which is enough for seven or eight people to eat, is this a person to eat, or is it a starving ghost?

Zhou Dian saw that Xiao Er was stunned, and pushed him: "What are you stupid, go quickly, I'm afraid that Dao Ye won't give you money?" ”

Xiao Er immediately lifted his spirits, this shop is doing business, I am not afraid of eating too much, I am afraid of eating less, not to mention that you can eat or not, what do you care about me? Suddenly, the smile on his face was piled up for three points, and he said, "A few people, find a place to sit, and the small one will tell the back kitchen to do it." After saying that, he went into the back kitchen.

Zhou Xing's distressed beard trembled, according to Zhou Dian's way of eating, this meal would cost at least two or three taels of silver, sighed and asked Zhou Dian: "Son, if you want so much, can you eat it?" Don't break it. ”

Zhou Dian rolled his eyes: "Dad, I've been with you for so many years, only when I can't eat, when did I eat and hold on?" ”

There were seven or eight people sitting at the table in the small shop, and when they heard Zhou Dian say it loudly, they coaxed in unison, and there were humanitarians: "That Dao chief, let your son eat if he can, what are you stingy?" Could it be that the Taoist still wants to save money to marry the little lady of that family? ”

Zhou Dian hugged his fists and faced around, saluting those who were holding him, but his eyes looked at Zhou Xing, and he said: "That's it, all these years you have been buckling and swishing, where is all the money you earned?" Could it be that you really want to find me a stepmother? ”

When everyone heard him say this, they laughed again, Zhou Xing's old face turned red, and he hurriedly pulled Zhou Dian to find a place to sit down, if he was asked to say it again, he didn't know how much of a joke he would make.

The three of them fell off the table, Zhou Dian also chattered that his father slammed the door, Lin Qi went to the restaurant for the first time, felt strange, looked around, this small shop is not big, there are more than a dozen square tables, the tables are also some ordinary dishes, there is nothing unusual, the guests sitting are varied, there are a few local people in the north, the big autumn is also open-minded, talking and laughing loudly, and there are three or four tables like businessmen on the feet, and the rest are dressed as officials, and the accents are all outsiders, presumably the servants who escort the people to govern the river.

Looking at it, the door curtain was opened, and three officials came in with a Xu official, but seeing that this Xu official was tall, with a square face and a broad nose, a great appearance, and a smile, he followed the three officials to sit near Lin Qi's table, and the three officials were very polite to this Xu official, one of them said: "I went to Hubei on business the year before last, thanks to Brother Chen's care, nothing went wrong, this time Brother Chen came to my land, how can I have to entertain well, but Jiyin is a small county, and there is no good restaurant, this meal is delicious, Don't be surprised when you are slow, Brother Chen. ”

The official surnamed Chen was very heroic, patted the official on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My brothers Chen Youliang are all good men, you are on an errand in the Yamen, how many buckets of rice can you get in a month?" But you want to invite me to eat in the big restaurant, believe it or not, if you really take me to the big restaurant, my old Chen big ear scraper will slap you, you will eat after fanning, and leave after eating, and you will not bring the checkout? ”

The official smiled and said, "The little brother is poor, but when Brother Chen comes, he must do his best." ”

Chen Youliang smiled slightly: "Even if they are brothers, they are talking about some foreign words, but it will make people laugh." ”

The official nodded yes, was afraid of the table, and said loudly to the second child in the store: "I have a noble person coming today, and I can serve good wine and good food." ”

Xiao Er answered and went to prepare, and a few people said some interesting things on the rivers and lakes, and while talking, Chen Youliang suddenly asked the official: "Today, I went to the river yamen to make an errand, but I encountered a strange thing." ”

"What's the strange thing, Brother Chen said to hear it."

Chen Youliang frowned and said: "Brother, you also know, I brought the people to repair the river for a time limit, yesterday was my last sign-in, it was inevitable that I was in a hurry, when I arrived in the city, I handed over the people to the brothers who came with me to watch, and rushed to the river Yamen, carrying fifty taels of silver in his arms, afraid of Feng Tisi's reprimand, then I thought of the Yamen, and saw a man wearing a seven-grade official uniform coming out of the Yamen, I hurriedly stood aside to salute, and also reported my name, but the man snorted coldly at me and turned away. ”

When I entered the yamen, I looked up and saw that the person sitting behind the public case was exactly the same as what I saw before, and I came forward to salute to know that this was Feng Tisi, I saw that Tisi's face was pale, his expression was in a trance, and he didn't blame me, he was very impatient to give me an official certificate, so he let me come out, but my brother didn't understand, it was Feng Tisi sitting in the yamen, so who did I see before? Why do you look exactly the same as Feng Tisi?

When the official heard that Chen Youliang was asking about this matter, he smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Chen is asking about this matter, and I won't tell you that this matter has been known to everyone in Caozhou, what you saw before was not the real Feng Tisi, it was a demon woman." ”

"Oh, demon woman, this matter ......" Chen Youliang came to his senses and stood up and asked.

The official said in a low voice: "Last year, the river was hit by a disaster, many displaced people came here, Mrs. Feng Tisi is a kind-hearted, took in an old woman and her little grandson, that thought of a few months later, the old witch will make a fuss Feng Tisi's mansion uneasy, listen to their family said, this old woman is very powerful, can also change, for this Feng Tisi also found a few Taoist monks to enter the door, but when you enter the door, it is like a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, there is no return, no one is alive, no corpse is dead, presumably it was harmed by the demon woman, Now the old woman has set up a small courtyard in Feng Tisi's house, and she has become a figure like an old lady, and since then, Feng Tisi has not dared to find any Taoist monks, for fear that this old woman will kill the surname of the whole family in a fit of anger, and she will stay up like this, and I don't know when it will be a ......."

As soon as the official said this, Zhou Dian stood up with big eyes and said to them: "Those monks and old Taoists are all waste, if you want to talk about catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, we have to be a sect." ”

Thank you for the reward that you don't want to see, keep it in mind, hehe.
