Chapter 12: Wangqiong Tower (II)

The bamboo maid stepped forward and slapped the sea cucumber and the slug three times each: "Why are the two fools fighting?" Didn't you make a good promise just now, why did you cause trouble here? ”

The sea cucumber held up the cheek that was slapped and said aggrievedly: "Report to the king, he cut in line." ”

The slug said: "King Qiyu, there is nothing to do, my reincarnation time is about to expire, and I am in a panic and just bump into him." ”

Xue You said: "Bastard, how can there be not enough time, I have a very scientific level here, and the program is very reasonable, as long as you do things according to the rules." ”

"This ...... This ...... "the slug wants to speak and stops."

"The king asked, if you don't recruit from the truth, I will catch you and feed you to the fierce beast, your soul will be scattered, and you will not be reborn forever." The bamboo maid bluffed from the side.

"I said," said the slug, "in my previous life I had no property, and I had to live under the moldy leaves of a tree or in the rotten mud, and for fear of being laughed at, I dared to come out quietly at night and devour the mold and moss on the trees." I vowed to have my own house in the next life, so I devoted myself to goodness and listened to the sutras and recited the Buddha every day. ”

The slug wiped his snot and continued: "Sure enough, Uncle Impermanence allowed me to be reincarnated as a snail in the next life and become a real house-owning family. It's just that there are procedures for taking the house, and I was delayed in completing the procedures. ”

"Nonsense!" Xue You was furious, "Where are the procedures?" ”

"The king is angry," the slug said, "Uncle Impermanence said that it takes seven hundred and forty-nine days to get the volute certificate according to the process, and if you want to expedite it, you can go out and turn left at an intersection, and find an old scalper in the cowshed behind the compound to find a way." ”

"This old scalper is our foot force in and out, I didn't expect that there would be such a means to profit from it, is it collusion with insiders." Xue You wondered in his heart.

Zhao Qian smiled: "This is a real 'ghost', hahahahaha." ”

Sun Li hurriedly gave Zhao Qian a look, but when he saw Xue You's pale face, he said: "Let the two of you laugh, this matter is related to our reputation, and we must find out." Slug, can there be any evidence or physical evidence for what you say? ”

"King Mingjian, I don't dare to have half a lie." Slug said, "I found the old scalper, handed over the favor, the old scalper raised his front hooves and stamped my hand, I was afraid that it would be too late, so I hurried back, unfortunately bumped into the sea cucumber, this ramming goods did not say that I cut the queue ......"

"Show me your stamp." Xue Youdao.

The slug stretched out his hand, but saw that there were only some light red marks left in the palm of his hand, which turned out to be sweat and smeared from the fight just now.

"Look, the red mark on the sea cucumber's forehead is the red stamp I applied when I scuffled with him just now." The slug hurried.

"Put your mother's shit, this is a sign that my Yintang is red and lucky, and I was red here before I died." The sea cucumber scolded.

"Shut up!" The bamboo servant said, "You must not roar and make mistakes." ”

Xue You pondered and said: "This matter is not difficult, send the scalper to confront him, and see if he is in the way." Black and white impermanence, you quickly go and catch the old scalper, we will know in person as soon as we ask. ”

Zhao Qian muttered to Sun Li: "Isn't this letting the old wolf take the old wolf, it's strange that they can get it." ”

Sun Li shook his hand at him, signaling that he could not speak.

After a while, black and white impermanence replied: "The old ox didn't know where to go, and only half of the straw rope was arrested." ”

"If you are innocent and abscond, there must be a ghost in your heart." Xue You said, "Put the rope in prison first, and then interrogate in detail when the old scalper is caught." Slug and sea cucumbers must no longer fight, so hurry up and go to reincarnation. If the rest of the people have any grievances, the next chief officer is here, and they can report it quickly. ”

The slug and sea cucumber scolded and scolded, and slowly crawled away.

Sun Li thought to himself that this was exactly what it was difficult to catch ducks on the shelves and be strong.

"The king is above, I have grievances." Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

"Whoever is crying out for grievances, come to the front and tell them carefully." Xue Youdao.

An earthworm squeezed in front of him and said: "It's me, it's me, the sky is above, I want to expose and report the treachery of the river shrimp, and I won't pay it back by borrowing my eyes." Please make the king's decision for me. ”

Xue You said: "You don't have to be in a hurry, tell the truth about the matter." ”

"Originally, the river shrimp did not have eyes, but my earthworm had eyes, he lived in shallow water, I lived on the wet bank, we lived next to each other, and we got along more happily."

"Later, one day I saw the river shrimp crying, so I asked it for the reason, he said that he heard the crab say that the East China Sea Dragon Palace is going to hold a 'treasure race', the aquatic treasures gather in the Dragon Palace, rare treasures, bizarre, I want to see it, but I don't have eyes, I can't see it."

"I remembered that the river shrimp was usually nice to me and often helped me, so I volunteered to lend him my eyes. The river shrimp thanked me a thousand times and said that I would go back quickly, and I would definitely return my eyes. But he did not believe in his words, and turned my eyes away, and asked the king to call the shots. ”

Sun Li suddenly said, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you?" So many people are not afraid of being laughed at. ”

It turned out that when Zhao Qian heard that the earthworm's accusation touched his own situation, he couldn't help but feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and his tears flowed down in large numbers.

Xue You said: "Brother Sun, Brother Zhao, you see how it is." ”

Sun Li had no choice but to say: "You can't just listen to the words of the earthworm, you should also ask about the cause of the river shrimp incident." ”

"That's true." Xue You said, "Pass the river shrimp." ”

Soon after the bamboo maid went, he brought the river shrimp, and the river shrimp bowed their heads and remained silent when they saw the earthworms.

"River shrimp, the earthworm sued you for not returning it, but is there such a thing?"

"Back to the king, this is true, but I also have difficulties." River Prawn Road.

"Despicable villain, give me back." The earthworm screamed.

"Earthworms, don't ask for it! River shrimp, what are your troubles, quickly tell it, everyone will comment on it, and discuss it. ”

"Back then, I heard that the East China Sea Dragon Palace held a 'Treasure Race', so I borrowed the eyes of an earthworm to catch up with the meeting, and visited the famous rivers along the way, making friends from all over the world.

When I arrived at the Dragon Palace, I was even more eye-opening. The pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, there are many kinds of strange flowers and plants, the corals of the East China Sea are like Qiongzhi jade leaves, the color of the clams in the West Sea is moving, the giant algae of the North Sea is more than 100 feet high, and the mirage of the South China Sea spits out divine light. The flying fish spreads its scales, silver and bright like an arrow; The white dolphin raises its fins, and the light is like a rainbow. The turtle rises and falls, and the waves are thousands of feet; Whale sharks turn and lead to waves. It is the world that is extremely prosperous.

On this day, I crowded on the side of the road to watch the dragon king travel, I never wanted to be the dragon king's photo, he saw that I was wearing armor all over my body, and the claws were huge, and immediately awarded me the title of general Fenwei, commanding three thousand armor soldiers, and guarding the Dragon Palace.

To tell you the truth, since then I have been reluctant to return my eyes to the earthworm, with eyes not only can I appreciate the beautiful world, but also command the soldiers to show off their might, so happy......"

"You're happy, but since I lost my eyes, I can't move normally on the ground, so I have to go underground to save my body." The earthworm choked.

"What do you think?" Xue You asked Sun Li.

Sun Li thought for a moment and said: "The facts of this matter are clear, the reason is clear, and I have three suggestions. The first is to punish the river shrimp for repentance, but because he has been awarded the title of Fenwei general by the Dragon King, he cannot give full salute in the armor, so in the future, when the shrimp clan dies, he must bow and apologize with his body red. ”

"This is a good idea", "it should be", "yes, yes, yes", "bowing and apologizing, it's very good", everyone nodded yes.

"Second, river shrimp should be ......"

"The kingβ€”noβ€”" I saw Ma Mian shouting all the way, "The three brothers of the Escape Demon are here again, and the bull head is fighting hard, and I can't resist it, so I have taken out to report it." ”

"How can this be true? These rats deceive people too much! Xue You said, "Bamboo maid, release the fierce beast and eradicate the demon." ”

The bamboo servant was ordered to retreat.

Seeing that Sun Li and Zhao Qian were shocked, Xue You said: "Don't be frightened, these three brothers of the 'Escape Demon' are our feuds, and their ancestors are causing trouble in this area, piercing the walls and bad houses, and they were arrested by our design, and they will be corrected on the spot." But their descendants are inexhaustible, kill endlessly, and often come out to cause trouble. Fortunately, the 'Absolute Beast' we raised is its nemesis, so don't be impatient. ”

Oh, I heard a thunderstorm in the air, and a fierce beast passed over everyone's heads, but I saw that it was snow-white all over, and there was a black hair on its head. The four hooves and claws are like swords, and the mouth is full of fangs like spears, and they are first out of an anvil. jumped ten feet high, and the roar of the neck shook the sky.

This fierce beast fought with the demon of the land, and the mountains shook for a while, flying sand and rocks, thunder and lightning, and dark clouds rolling. The crowd was terrified, and they ran around in a hurry, making a noise and shouting for heaven and earth.

Sun Li and Zhao Qian took advantage of the chaos to run out of the tower, but they were unexpectedly scattered. Sun Li shouted: "Zhao Gan, Brother Zhao-"

I didn't know how to calculate, but when I saw a dilapidated bamboo ladder poking out of the 'reincarnation well', a voice came: "Sun Li, Zhao Gan, are you down there?" It was Xiao Linglong who was shouting.

At the same time, Zhao Qian rushed over. Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao, I'm afraid it's not Xiao Linglong calling us, let's go down the ladder and take a look." ”

So Zhao Qian got into Sun Li's arms, and Sun Li followed the ladder into the well, and the ladder 'creaked' every time he stepped on it. After about a dozen steps, Sun Li looked up at a round wellhead, and looked down at a wellhead, which was no different, and was wondering, and heard Xiao Linglong's voice again: "Sun Li, Zhao Gan, are you still alive, hey-"

Zhao Qian shouted, "We are here." ”

It didn't matter if he shouted, Sun Li suddenly felt his body turn upside down.

"Climb up, quick," Xiao Linglong shouted as she leaned on the mouth of the well.

Sun Li didn't think about it, he hurriedly climbed up, and finally climbed out of the well, and looked around, he was standing in a dilapidated courtyard, in front of him was Xiao Linglong and an old woman collecting firewood.

Xiao Linglong said: "I sent Xuanma to look for you around here, and I was thinking about it, and suddenly I heard you shouting in the well, 'Zhao Gan, Brother Zhao', so I put the bamboo ladder in the courtyard into the well." ”

Sun Li nodded after hearing this, and then described the encounter for half a day without saying anything, the old woman frowned slightly when she heard it, she pushed open the door and said: "A few years ago, there lived a teaching Mr. Xue here, I heard that he failed to pass the examination for many times, and then he got old and turned to processing bamboo strips and bamboo tubes for a living, and then he relied on the villagers of the surrounding villages to help, until one day the others disappeared." Some people say that he was picked up by his old family, others guess that he didn't remember the way and got lost, and others say that he fell into a well because of his old age......"

When Sun Li heard this, he walked into the house and saw a wooden desk covered with cobwebs, and a bald pen lying on the table, on which the word "bamboo servant" was engraved. There are two more paperweights, pick them up and put together the light, one book "Horn Hanging Book", and the other book "Horse to Success". The ink in the stone inkstone has long since dried up, cracked and corroded. Several pieces of paper are covered with thick dust, and there are words left on the homepage, and when you dust off the dust, you can only see the fly-headed small block on it, "Forget the Poor Zhai Notes", and say: "Ganluo is early and late, and Peng Zuyan has an uneven life." Fan Dan is poor and rich, and the eight characters are born at different times. 'My life has an end, and my sorrow has no end. Fame is not successful, creation makes people, old and sick urge each other, and poverty increases. Withdrawing from Lao Zhuang, I forgot about myself, showed the Golden Sutra, and my worries were quite gone. Half a lifetime can be described as a waste, leisurely traveling, eating and drinking. The tiles cover the rain, the abbot accommodates himself, and the years go by, and he forgets it. The name of the fasting 'forgetting the poor' is to ambition. ”

After reading it, Sun Li still put the paperweights of the two parties back neatly, and sighed in his heart. Moved again, kicked Zhao Gan with his feet, and Zhao Qian was facing an old bookcase, which was full of holes, presumably bitten by rats.

"I've just counted, nine rat holes, big and small." Zhao Qiandao.

Sun Li was about to talk, and the old woman rushed to say: "Is it because my ears are bad, was this duck talking just now?" ”

Sun Li was trying to cover up, but suddenly heard "meow-" A white cat jumped in front of everyone.

"Meow, don't be afraid, come and eat." The old woman hurriedly took out the broken steamed buns and put them on the ground, "I don't know how old this cat is, after Mr. Xue disappeared, no one fed it, every time I came over to collect firewood, I would bring something to eat......"

Xiao Linglong took out the "Three Realms Demon Lotus Bowl", poured some water into it, and put it in front of Meowmeow.

Sun Li saw that this white cat was snow-white, with only a piece of black hair on the top of its head, and this kind of cat was called "General Hanging Seal".

After eating the steamed buns, the big white cat went around to Sun Li's legs and kept rubbing back and forth, which was very close.
