Chapter 292: Li Ke's Madness
For three days, Jiang Liao didn't see any movement in Xu Feng's house, and there was no response when he knocked on the door, so he had to go to Li Ke to inquire about the news. The strange thing is that Li Ke has been locked in the past few days, and the lights are on all night in the house, so I don't know what the hell is going on.
Jiang Liao crossed the courtyard and came to Li Kemen, and through the door, he could hear the laughter of eating inside.
Boom...... Knock knock, the door was patted on the mountain, if it was opened half a minute late, Li Ke suspected that the door would be directly knocked down by this guy.
"Something?"
The door only opened a gap, and Li Ke stretched out his head and asked. Through a crack in the open door, Jiang Liao saw that the ground was in a mess, as well as messy bedding, paper and other things.
"You won't be a prostitute in the house, will you!?" Looking at Li Ke's pale and weak face, Jiang Liao asked in shock.
Li Ke flashed a look of disdain, thought about it, or opened the door, the room was full of paper, messy, bedding on the ground, dirty pillow next to an oil lamp, half a bowl of cold water, and a few steamed buns that had dried into stones, looking at the scene, I'm afraid that Li Ke has spent these days.
The bed is piled up with all kinds of books, "Daxia Surname Record", "Lingnan Seven Clans", "Royal Family Annals Examination", ...... There are also some rice paper cut into strips, and all the walls in the room that can be reached are full of strips of paper, and the strips of paper are written crookedly in dense small characters:
ββNanhai County Shou wife Wen, the head of the seven clans in Lingnan, Cui, three rooms and two daughters.
Taiwei Yang Lin, a total of four sons, the third son was born to the concubine Wang, the mother of Taiwei Min, the big family of Shenmu County, Shuozhou, to raise horses to get rich;
Hanlin bachelors Liu Bo and Yingdu left to guard Lin Shu - from the first three years of Chunhua, they worked together in the six departments of the ceremonial department;
Horse Yanxi, there are 17 restaurants in Yingdu City, 60% of the iron mine in Gushan Town, Shuobei, this mine is operated by the son of Cai Huan, the national teacher's sacrificial wine;
Yin Dong Feixiong of Yingdu Mansion, ancestral home of Huizhou, great-grandfather worked as a housekeeper in the Lingnan clan Chen, his people are afraid of the inside, last year he got Hualiu, and the medicine taken in Yingdu Jiyuantang has not been cured so far.
Yu Shi Cheng Zhao supplement, Emperor Ming Law 79 years, Tsing Yi tried the first place in Tiance Mansion, because of poetry and Lu Xiang, ten years have not been promoted.
Seeing the chaos in the house, Jiang Liao looked puzzled: "What is this, it's a mess." β
Li Ke didn't want to explain, looked at Jiang Liao's eyes that he thought he was crazy, and said lazily: "This is not a messy thing, this is the trick of Yingdu officialdom, I spent all my life savings to collect it, success or failure in one fell swoop!"
Jiang Liaoleng was stunned for a moment, and immediately figured out the joints, Li Ke knew that the other party understood, and his excited hands stretched out, letting the wide sleeve robe slide down: "I want to sort out all these relationships, keep all these secrets in my heart, the whole Yingdu, no one is more diligent than me, to tell you the truth, I have found the way, I will ...... in a few days"
"Forget it, I won't tell you, I won't understand it. ...... Is there anything wrong?Can you tap the door lightly!" Li Ke carefully cleaned up an open space in the house, so that Jiang Liao had a place to stay.
Jiang Liao was stunned for a long time, frowned and said, "There are some words, I'd better say them." In life, there is nothing wrong with pursuing glory and wealth, and I, Jiang Liao, also expect to lead thousands of troops and horses and gallop across the field. But we must stick to the heart of the Dao and encourage them to win, and the wealth obtained by relying on crooked ways is not stable and the heart is not firm, and I am afraid that in the end, it will ......."
"What happened in the end?!" Before Jiang Liao finished speaking, Li Ke asked disdainfully.
"I'm afraid that at the last critical moment, I will either betray the country for glory or betray my brother!"
"Jiang Liao! You also underestimate me Li Ke too much, from Yunmeng to Sendai, and then to Yingdu, do I have something to do with my brother? The world is like this, how can you ask me to encourage Bo to win? Like you, you smashed Yang Biao into a serious injury? If my strategy works, I'm afraid your future will depend on me, and when the time comes, I hope you won't use these big words to teach me a lesson. β
Li Ke seemed to have been insulted, starting from Tianhuoyu, all his thoughts in the past few days poured out, and he said loudly with a red face: "I know, my Li Ke was born poor, I don't have the money to go to the academy to study, and I don't have the determination to help endure hardships, not to mention you, you have the talent to practice, I can only fool around on the street and follow the sect to fight, but I, Li Ke, am also human beings and have ambitions, do you think that you and Xu Feng participated in the Tsing Yi test is the purpose of our coming to Yingdu, wrong!" Although I, Li Ke, do not have the qualifications of a student in the academy, nor do I have the status of a sect disciple, but since ancient times, cats have walked on the cat's path and rats have walked in the mouse hole, which is the way for people like me to enter the ranks. β
Li Ke refuted, and the sound shook the house, without a little of the lightness and smoothness of the past. In the courtyard, there were other tenants passing by the courtyard gate, hearing the sound of the house, pointing at the door.
"Hey, another crazy one, these students are also hard, the Tsing Yi test once every few years, carrying too much pressure, it's not easy, it's not easy. β
"Yes, a few days ago, two jumped down from the upstairs of Taichang Temple, one fell to his death on the spot, and that one was miserable...... Tsk......"
"The one who didn't fall to his death was even worse, covered in blood, howling and running through the streets, running for miles before being held down by the officials of the ceremonial department. β
"That year, Tsing Yi tried not to die, and no one treated you as dumb ...... a few words" The landlord, who was holding a birdcage in one hand and a teapot in the other, went out and passed by, and scolded the onlookers and tenants, and everyone dispersed.
......
Li Ke, who had calmed down, heard the discussion outside, became excited again, reached out and pulled out a half-foot-thick book from under the bed, and said sharply: "Look, this is what I have been reading for months, I'm afraid you read it when you were six years old in the school, hehe...... When I crossed Qingtianxia, the eight words "Seven Clans Seal, Forever Stop Bingge" on the Zhige Rock, I only knew one "seven" character, haha...... For these", Li Kemeng turned around, pointed to the notes on the wall, and said angrily: "I have been reading this book of exegesis and literacy for three whole months, and now you are satisfied!"
Jiang Liao's face was pale, and he stood in the house, letting Li Ke vent like a storm.
The room was quiet, and I don't know how long it was silent, Jiang Liao said: "No matter what you Li Ke does or do, I have no right to interfere, but I still think that the path you choose is not appropriate." β
Li Ke knew that Jiang Liao and Xu Feng were different, if it was Xu Feng who came in today, he would probably just laugh and not take it seriously.
"Since you know you have no right to interfere, shut up and get out ......," Li Ke said.
"We started from one place and came all the way together, but now it seems that the purpose may not be the same. I'm not here to interfere with you" Jiang Liao said slowly: "Since the day I checked in, Xu Feng hasn't seen anyone for a few days, I came to ask you if you have any news, and now it seems that there should be none." β
Li Ke was extremely confident in Xu Feng, and silently showed what he knew, and also expressed his attitude.
Jiang Liao turned around, and in the chaos of the house, Li Ke suddenly said stupidly: "The old fortune teller in Tianhuoyu is right, I just want to be favored by grace, unlike you, who are full of enthusiasm and take your life to win." β
Jiang Liao's footsteps paused, walked out of the door, and when he walked to the middle of the courtyard, the door was already closed.
That night, on the steps in front of Li Ke's door, a plate of fried excellent grass carp was placed, and the door sighed and did not open until the fried fish became cold and dried in the autumn night.
......
There are only nine days left before the Tsing Yi test, but Xu Feng has mysteriously disappeared, not only Jiang Liao is looking for it, but the Taoist priests of Nanyang Temple are almost digging three feet into the ground, crazy and generally looking for Xu Feng's whereabouts in Yingdu, this rented courtyard, people come almost every day.
More than ten days passed, they found nothing, some disciples had the courage to inquire with Elder Nie, Elder Nie was not angry, just said lightly, after they met, Xu Feng left alone that night, as for where he went, he had no way of knowing.
With the approach of the Tsing Yi test, more sect disciples poured into the city of Yingdu, all kinds of business were very lively, and every street and alley was a festive party, but in the context of the war in the north and the influx of displaced people in the south, the reopening of the Tsing Yi test also revealed a faint tension. Festive and nervous, the two emotions take turns to stimulate people's nerves and make people excited, every day there are students holding the war report from the north and crying out the national shame, and every day there are people from the ceremonial department who come forward to quell all kinds of fighting.
The Southern Sect had already sent special disciples to keep an eye on the small courtyard day and night, just waiting for Xu Feng to appear.
Seeing that Nanyang Guan Lord Yue was still recuperating from his injuries and preparing for the battle of Tsing Yi, he summoned Zhong Er, looked at it a few times, and felt that this little Taoist priest was too dead, and he should not be able to climb on his head in this life, so he waved his hand and let him go.
Zhong Er, who became the target of public criticism and was squeezed out by people everywhere, simply moved out of Nanyang Temple, he realized that cultivation is a personal matter after all, and he has no nostalgia for Nanyang Temple for several years, and even a little relieved, but he can't tell his parents at home about these things.
The Sanqing General Altar has not accepted disciples for ten years, and he has no intention of going to the other four great avenue temples, so he casually found a small temple in the streets and alleys of Yingdu, meditating and practicing on weekdays, and believers come to pray for blessings, and occasionally do practical things.
In the middle of the night, when no one was around, he always remembered the shocking sword on the Dragon and Tiger List, and the shocking sword of Zhu Zhi, the great scholar of the Flying Dao.
"Daoist Zhu Zhi!"
Zhong Er's mind flashed into his head. All the people he could think of in the past few days had been searched, and there was no trace of Xu Feng's whereabouts, but this time he thought of a person who might be interested in Xu Feng's whereabouts, and this person was powerful enough.
