Volume 3 The Land of China Chapter 2 A penny stumps a hero
Xi'er took advantage of the time when the aquatic life entered the store to look at the different sky, the beautiful starry sky is a beautiful scenery that the demon world does not have, the white silver moon is a beautiful and moving fairy, I heard the predecessors of the demon clan say that there is a peerless woman living in the Moon Palace, she is the wife of the most powerful man in the world, people say that she is very beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world, more beautiful than the fairy in the sky, in order to keep her peerless appearance stole the elixir, but was punished by the heavenly world to live in the lonely and cold Moon Palace. And never be allowed to leave the Moon Palace for eternity. The seniors said it was to punish her for being selfish.
But Xi'er didn't think so, because she had seen the fairy, or the old man of the peach tree, at that time, the old man of the peach tree liked to play in the mountains and rivers, and Xi'er often accompanied the old man to visit the Three Realms. It was a scarlet night, and Xi'er looked at the red moon in the sky and couldn't help but yearn for it: "I don't know what kind of situation is on the moon?"
The old man of the peach tree raised his crutches and the two of them were already appearing on the moon, cold, cold, and empty, this is the Moon Palace, eternal loneliness and loneliness. There was a white palace not far away, and the huge palace amplified these negative emotions wirelessly, and the old man of the peach tree knocked on the door of the palace with Xi'er. Xi'er saw two huge words written on the palace door: Moon Palace. The door was opened by a cold fairy, the first time she saw this fairy, Xi'er was ashamed of herself, and her every move was deeply attracted to this cardamom self. It seems that this is the temperament that a woman should have.
I don't know how long I stayed in the Moon Palace, the old man of the peach tree walked out of the Moon Palace with the trance-like Xi'er, and the fairy went out to see him off. The old man of Peachtree chattered in response. went back to Rotten Peach Mountain. Before leaving, the old man of the peach tree sighed, "What a disaster. ”
Xi'er seemed to look at the moon with some envy and said, "You are really a curse." Even as a woman, I can't help but want to kiss Fangze, let alone those ordinary people. ”
Shui Sheng walked out of the inn and said to Xi'er: "It seems that we can only sleep on the streets." ”
Xi'er said very curiously: "Sir, isn't the door open for this family? Why don't you let us live, I learned from the book that this land of Shenzhou is a good place where the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night." ”
Shui Sheng shook his head and said: "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book, you can't fully believe what you say in the book, you don't leave the road behind, and you don't close your door at night, it's not that there is nothing but too little." What the sage said is those Datong worlds, compared to this world that has been polluted by copper stench, I am afraid that only your demon world is worthy of staying closed at night. ”
"Why? "Xi'er doesn't know why it's authentic.
Shui Sheng smiled: "The cave where the demon clan lives has no door, of course there is no need to close the door." ”
"Sir, you are still in the mood to laugh, what can you do? It doesn't matter if Xi'er sleeps in the wilderness, if the wind is strong at night, if you don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, your body is already very weak, how can you get into the wind and cold. Xi'er said with some concern. When I turned around, I saw that the lights in the inn were not extinguished, and suddenly the fire was bright.
Shui Sheng stopped Xi'er and said: "Be patient, don't make trouble if you are unfamiliar with life when you first come here, people will naturally collect money when they open their doors to do business." ”
"Store money?!" Xi'er said suspiciously.
Shui Sheng explained: "In this land of China, there is one thing that is indispensable at any time and place. That is money, because a word for money can kill brothers, and husbands and wives turn against each other. ”
For Xi'er, who has just entered the world, she naturally doesn't know that money is like a demon clan pursuing mana for human beings. Money can make ghosts grind, and the world advocates money and rights.
Xi'er said thoughtfully, "I remember that there is a spell in the Art of Change called Turning Stone into Gold. Yes and no. ”
Aquatic nodded.
Xi'er took Shui Sheng's hand and said excitedly, "Sir, sir." You're changing. ”
Shui Sheng said with an embarrassed face: "Xi'er, you know that I don't have the Qi and Machine Fusion of Rotten Peach Mountain now, and I am no different from mortals, and I can't use any mana at all." The excitement was extinguished by these words.
"Since the spell of turning stones into gold is not useful, otherwise use my trick. "Xi'er is weak and authentic.
"No, the trick can only cover up for a while, and I am already struggling to see the inn. Don't do anything that harms yin morality. Shui Sheng shook his head and vetoed Xi'er's suggestion, watching the night getting heavier, the sky that should have been bright and thin, gradually being covered by dark clouds, and there was a tendency for heavy rain to come. ”
"Yizhuang?!" Xi'er couldn't help but be curious about the new words she heard for the first time.
"It's where the dead are parked. Although it is a little scary, at least there is a shelter from the wind and rain. Shui Sheng said the word dead very reluctantly, since he came to this chaotic world, he has lived in a cave and slept in a grass hut. But there is a place to settle down, but it is difficult to move an inch in the bustling world. It seems that the sentence is really answered, and a penny is difficult to defeat a hero.
"Huh?!," Xi'er exclaimed.
took Xi'er and prepared to walk to the town's Yizhuang, saying that he was not afraid, but he was still very resistant to the dead in his bones. I hadn't walked a few steps when I heard an old man's voice behind me: "The girl in front walks slowly." ”
The two turned their heads to see an old woman walking from the other side of the inn with a cane and a lantern in her hand. Xi'er immediately heard the voice of the old lady who had answered the house when she knocked on the door just now.
Xi'er immediately walked over and pointed at the old lady and said, "What do you call us to do?"
"Xi'er must not be rude. Hold the old lady in her arms. Shui Sheng said in a commanding tone: "Respect the old and love the young, you must keep in mind that there can be no sloppiness in your heart." ”
Xi'er was extremely reluctant to support the old lady.
The old lady panted and said, "Out of the way, out of the way." It's my old lady who is too small to complain about this girl. Come home with me quickly, and if you are late, you may be in trouble. ”
Xi'er pouted: "I don't believe it." ”
Shui Sheng took the lantern in the old lady's hand and said, "Old lady, please first." ”
Shui Sheng carried a lantern in front, and Xi'er helped the old lady to her house. The road is not far, in order to take care of the old man Shui Sheng deliberately slowed down, but the old lady urged him to go faster, go faster. If the sky is going to change, the gods will naturally avoid going out.
When I returned to the old lady's house, I locked the doors and windows as soon as I entered. The pale-faced old man sighed and turned to the two: "I'm really sorry for the two." ”
Shui Sheng looked at the small courtyard, a small courtyard, flanked by pigsty and kitchen, and the two-bedroom house in the main house looked a little old. And she seems to be an old lady in the courtyard. He said, "It's us who nagged you." ”
The old lady said, "It's out of the way." Don't get in the way, look at you, look at you, you grow up, your eyebrows are clear, your eyes are beautiful, and you are very much like a reader. ”
Shui Sheng said with a smile: "The boy's surname is Wu Mingshuisheng, I have read books for a few years, and I only recognize a few words, this time I took the maid Xi'er out to play here, I don't know why the town is closed after nightfall?"
"Alas. . . The old man sighed, and swallowed his words after a few words. The old woman said: "My husband's surname is Zhou, and he died a few years ago, leaving me a lonely wife and son to live alone. There are no children and no daughters under their knees. Rest in peace, and leave this town at dawn tomorrow. Tonight you will live in the Westinghouse.
After thanking Zhou, Shui Sheng took Xi'er to the West House, and it could be seen that the old man was sad, and it was not good to explore other people's privacy when Pingshui met. When I came to the Westinghouse to light the lampstand, under the dim light, the house was still clean, perhaps because no one had lived in it for a long time and there was a musty smell. After walking for a day, she was also a little tired, Xi'er turned into a sparrow, closed her eyes and recuperated herself, and was just about to lie down when she heard someone knocking on the door, Xi'er immediately turned into a human body, opened the door and saw Zhou's holding some steamed buns and some home-cooked food: "I think you are also evil." I still had some food to eat, so I sent it over. ”
Hurriedly invited the old man in, and said, "It's already very abrupt to stay in your mansion, you don't need to be polite." ”
Zhou said: "Don't tight, don't tight." My mother-in-law and I am used to living alone. It's just home-cooked food. ”
Xi'er took the steamed bun meal and put it on the table, and asked if the fragrant steamed bun was really a little hungry, and Shui Sheng picked up a steamed bun with hot air at random and ate it. Xi'er is a little resistant to human food, perhaps because of his habits as a bird. Just quietly watching.
Zhou said: "Alas, don't hide it, this town used to be a good place to stay closed at night, but unfortunately it has changed a lot after a mountain god came to the mountains a few years ago. I was also afraid that I would miss the lives of these two people, so I went to find them because I was uneasy. ”
Shui Sheng put down the steamed bun and said, "The old lady believes in Buddhism?"
Zhou nodded and said: "After the death of my wife, I felt pitiful alone, so I often went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha to ask for the Buddha's blessing. If you eat more, don't you hate that what I make is not delicious enough?" Seeing that Shui Sheng stopped and urged, and saw Xi'er ignoring it and said, "Girl, you can eat some too." Don't go hungry. ”
Shui Sheng picked up another steamed bun and said to Xi'er: "You also eat some, don't live up to the kindness of the old man." ”
Xi'er picked up a steamed bun and divided it in half, and ate it as cute as a kitten eating. When the old woman saw that they were both eating, she said, "It will not hinder the two of them from eating." Rest early after eating. ”
Eating, eating. Shui Sheng felt that his eyelids were fighting, and he fell asleep in a daze. Xi'er was fine, but she was pulled by Shui Sheng and pretended to faint.
Seeing that both of them fell, Zhou sighed. Hurriedly walked out of the door and called: "Son, Weiniang has already put these two people down, quickly bring some ropes and tie them up, don't let them wake up and escape." ”
A middle-aged man with a somewhat obscene appearance walked into the house with a rope and saw Xi'er next to him looking beautiful and moving, and couldn't help muttering: "It's a pity to kill like this." ”
Zhou said: "All the sins are borne by the mother, you tie up these two people first and hand them over to the mayor of the town the next day." ”
Xi'er's eyes suddenly widened in fright, and the lewd man jumped and said, "Mother, you didn't let them go." ”
Zhou turned around and saw that his son had been tied up and fainted to death by a little woman who looked weak and didn't look at him. Wu Shuisheng, who looked like a scholar, sat on the side and ate steamed buns unsatisfied. Zhou, who was pale in fright, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Childe spare your life, Childe spare your life." ”
Xi'er frowned and said, "How did Mr. deal with these two people?"
Shui Sheng helped him up and knelt on the ground, and Zhou said, "Old man, you get up first, and you can say some things slowly." ”
After helping the old man up, he sat her down at the table and said, "I think you are a good person, why do you do such a hurtful thing?"
Zhou cried and said, "I can't help it." I have such a son under my knees, and I don't want him to die before my eyes. My son of misery. "The lonely old woman spoke too heavily and cried too much, and she couldn't speak well.
Shui Sheng said: "Xi'er wakes people up." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Xi'er kicked the unconscious man awake with a casual kick. The middle-aged man cried and said: "I instigated my mother to do this with the two heroes, and I will bear all the consequences." Please let my mother have weak bones, but don't have a good one, otherwise I won't be blind even if I die. ”
Shui Sheng said: "It can be seen that you are a filial son, and Xi'er let people go." ”
