Chapter 110: Heartless Vegetables, Heartless People
Jin Wuxi fell, the sky was full of red clouds, Wang Sheng, the prefect of Jinhua, closed the corrected official documents, got out of the official office, stepped into the sedan chair with the support of his subordinates, sat down slowly, and then let out a long breath.
"Strange, why are you so tired these days?" Wang Sheng frowned slightly, feeling the fatigue and weakness of his body, and was a little puzzled: "Could it be that he is infected with wind and cold?" ”
As a high-powered parent official, Wang Sheng is actually quite self-controlled. Not only did he not spend all his time drunk on money like most officials today, but he also did not covet pleasure and disregard his body, at most he had some boudoir fun with his concubine on weekdays, and there were no other entertainment activities that consumed the body's origin. In addition, he is in the prime of life, although he is only a scholar, and he is in the prime of life, he dare not say that he is in the prime of life, but his health is absolutely fine.
It's just that for some reason in the past few days, he suddenly gets tired easily and can't concentrate. In the past, the official documents that were easily processed in half a day now have to be read for a whole day, and they are very tired, and even a little dizzy.
"Could it be that Daoist Lin is right, there is something wrong with me?"
Thinking of the stranger introduced by Ning Caichen, Wang Sheng suddenly frowned.
In fact, to be honest, his first impression of the one called Lin Mo was still very good.
As an official, he certainly knows more than ordinary civilians. For example, when it comes to things like gods and ghosts, the common people are still suspicious and listen to them as stories, but he knows that they are all in existence. Even in the past few years, he knows some inside information that ordinary people don't know: most of them are ghosts.
That's why he was so nervous when something happened at home: he didn't want to be entangled in those unspeakable filth! That's why. He valued Ning Caichen so much that he almost got into trouble.
"It's a pity that Daoist Lin is dignified and imposing, but his attitude is a little strange later, which makes me a little uneasy."
Walking in officialdom and observing words and colors is the most basic ability. Wang Sheng can serve as the prefect of one party, and the level of this ability is undoubtedly very high. In his opinion, Lin Mo was indeed a true Tao at the beginning, but then came back for the second time. There are some changes. Not to mention the many questions that you will know are very problematic when you hear them. Even the strange gaze that looked at his concubine Cui Ji made Wang Sheng's heart tingle.
So in the past few days, Wang Sheng didn't invite Lin Mo to come to the mansion to check again, and even Ning Caichen didn't see him again.
"That's it. Maybe I'm wrong. Wait until tomorrow. I'll have someone ask him to come over. Let's give a diagnosis or two! ”
With a sigh, Wang Sheng made a decision.
At this time, the sedan chair had been carrying Wang Sheng for a while, and had already entered the area where the officials and nobles of Jinhua lived. It's a different downtown area. It was very quiet, and now it was evening, so it was naturally more secluded, and sitting in the sedan chair, Wang Sheng could even hear the squeaky and swaying sound of the soft sedan chair under the seat.
The environment is so quiet, Wang Sheng, who was already dizzy, was even more groggy, and he couldn't help but tilt his body, and he wanted to take a nap in the sedan chair for a while.
But at this moment, a shout rang out.
"Sell vegetables, sell heartless vegetables! A heartless dish for the heartless! ”
This is obviously the cry of a farmer buying vegetables. Wang Sheng is not an emperor who does not eat fireworks in the world, and he has not heard much in the past, so he is naturally nothing. But today, now, as soon as he heard this voice, he trembled, and felt a chill from his bones, as if he was walking forward on the edge of a cliff, and the next moment he was about to fall into the abyss and fall to pieces!
"Stop!"
Wang Sheng was excited, his body straightened up with all his sleepiness, his mouth was panting, and when he touched the top of his forehead, it was already full of fine beads of sweat. \
The soft sedan stopped. A subordinate outside the sedan car asked softly: "My lord, what do you command?" ”
Wang Sheng gasped for a moment, thought about it in a daze, and said, "Is there a seller of heartless vegetables outside?" ”
"Yes, my lord, there is an old man who sells heartless vegetables." The subordinate also seemed to wonder how there was a vegetable seller here, and immediately said, "Please wait a minute, I will drive him away." ”
"Nope! Call him to me, and I have something to ask him. Wang Sheng said, his mind changed, and he said: "No, I'll get off the sedan chair and ask in person!" ”
The subordinates were shocked and hurriedly persuaded each other, but Wang Sheng had already made up his mind, so he could only put the sedan chair on the ground, open the curtain, let Wang Sheng come out, follow him, and slowly walked to the old man who was pushing a flat-bottomed cart and selling heartless vegetables on the side of the road.
Strange to say, when the old man saw the people in the government come to him, he neither saluted in fear nor shouted in surprise, but raised his head with a calm expression and asked, "My lord came to buy heartless vegetables?" ”
Wang Sheng looked at the cart full of heartless vegetables in a trance, and was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Yes, I'm here to buy vegetables." ”
The old man asked again, "For whom?" ”
Wang Sheng thought for a while and said, "Relatives at home." ”
"That's not going to work." The old man shook his head: "Your family can't eat it." My heartless food is only sold to heartless people, and it can only be eaten by heartless people, how can your relatives enjoy it? ”
When Wang Sheng bent down to stand on his side, the people listened to it, and immediately laughed: "Old man, you are really talking nonsense, where are there any unintentional people in the world?" If you don't have a heart, isn't that dead? ”
"Not necessarily." The old man said meaningfully: "Some people, even if they have no heart, can still live well!" ”
Wang Sheng's body trembled, and he subconsciously opened his mouth strangely and asked, "Then how do you know if that person is unintentional?" ”
"It's easy!" The old man laughed and said, "The heart is the place where blood meets. Even though the Heartless has a spell to protect themselves and maintain their lives, they are finally very different from ordinary people. His person is not only physically weak, but also mentally sluggish, easily tired, weak in qi and blood, and the slightest movement is groggy! Of course, the easiest thing is to touch the heart: even if there is a little beating, but the heart is afraid that it is cold, not warm! ”
Wang Sheng listened, his face turned pale, and his palms trembled. It took a long time to reluctantly calm down and ask, "So, what will happen to him?" ”
"If the dish is not intentional, there is naturally no problem." The old man said slowly: "But if people are unintentional, things will be big!" ”
"What's the big law?" Wang Sheng swallowed dryly and continued to ask, "Could it be that he will die?" ”
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "For a while, naturally not." But after a long time, it is not necessarily! ”
"Is there a way to save it?"
"Then it's time to find a master." The old man waved his hand: "If not, I'm afraid that death will not be far away!" ”
Wang Sheng's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
The subordinate finally sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "Where did you come from, old man, who is deceiving the people with evil words, I will arrest you and put you in prison, and see if you will be full of nonsense!" ”
As he spoke, the people shouted and shouted that the sedan chair drivers stepped forward to arrest people. The old man was neither frightened nor cared, just looked at Wang Sheng with a smile and said nothing.
"Stop!" Seeing that the palanquin drivers were about to pounce, Wang Shengzhong snorted.
The subordinate was very aggrieved: "My lord, this old man is talking nonsense-"
"Shut up!" Wang Sheng shouted, didn't say more, just turned around and walked back into the sedan chair, shouting, "Go home!" ”
The subordinates were helpless, so they could only call the sedan chair drivers back, lift the sedan chair again, and go to the palace, but before leaving, they also glared at the old man who sold heartless vegetables with his eyes, as if to say that you want to look good next time.
The old man didn't speak, but just watched the sedan chair go away, motionless.
Then a big man dressed in a chivalrous costume and carrying a sword box suddenly appeared beside him. This big man raised his eyebrows, his face was full of beard, and he laughed and said, "Brother Lin, you are really good, you can think of this method!" ”
The old man smiled lightly, his body changed rapidly, and he soon turned into a young man in a Taoist robe in his twenties, and said with a smile: "This is not my idea, but the means of my predecessors. ”
There is no doubt that this young man in costume is Lin Mo, and the big man is Yan Chixia.
"It's a little different, but it's okay to borrow it." Lin Mo smiled and said, "At least judging from the situation just now, the effect is good, Wang Sheng is already suspicious of himself!" ”
The series of developments just now was specially planned by Lin Mo based on the plot in "Romance of the Gods".
In "The Romance of the Gods", Daji brutalized Zhongliang and dug out Bigan's ingenious heart. Bigan was fortunate to be protected by Jiang Ziya's rune, and although he lost his heart, he survived. It's just that there is a catastrophe that must be experienced.
This calamity is heartless and heartless.
Bigan lost his heart and met a woman who sold heartless vegetables. That's when he comes up and asks, 'What happens if people don't have a heart.'" If the woman answers, 'You can live without a heart,' you will survive, but if you say, 'You can't live without a heart,' you will die at that time."
Lin Mo followed the arrangement made by this story, and used it to wake up Wang Sheng and let him understand his current situation.
"Brother Lin, how long do you think it will take for this Wang Sheng to understand?"
"It should be soon." Lin Mo said: I've made a tailor-made statement, I should scare him enough! ”
The expression after the heartlessness that Lin Mo had just obtained was completely scanned with his divine sense first, and then said it to him. In other words, what is Wang Sheng's current state, how he describes it, absolutely 100% realistic!
If this can't stimulate Wang Sheng, there is only one possibility: Wang Sheng not only has no heart, but also no brain!
As it turned out, Wang Sheng did not lose his brain. In the early morning of the next day, Lin Mo had just finished meditating, and the second child of Jinbanglou came up to inform him, saying that the prefect had sent someone to invite him, hoping that Mr. Lin could come to the house to talk about it.
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, and after a little tidying up, he followed the next person. When he arrived at the palace, he saw Wang Sheng standing in the center of the hall, and he was overjoyed when he saw Lin Mo coming. But he didn't speak, but first drank back all his subordinates, and after ensuring that there was no one around except him and Lin Mo, he walked quickly to Lin Mo, bent down deeply at Lin Mo, and begged: "Please sir save me!"
