Chapter Forty-Eight: The Uninvited Guest
The moonlight spreads gently all over the earth like water, and shoots like a sword with a cold white light on the handle, the moon on August 15 should be like this, the cloudless sky and the only bright moon looks so lonely and lonely, I don't know if it is an illusion or a real occurrence, the moonlight of this world in the courtyard seems to have been absorbed by two men standing on their feet, one is flashing with holy white light, and the other is as dazzling as gold.
The old beggar who flickered with holy white light was the one who instilled true qi in Li Mobai, and I saw that his right hand was still pressed on the back of the little beggar, and he was holding a wine jug in his left hand, and his scattered hair blocked his vision and face, and even blocked the pair of shining eyes on the other side, as if he didn't care about the people who came, and it seemed that he had expected someone to come.
The person who spoke was full of golden light and could compete with the bright moon, and as far as the eye could see, a yellow beam of light could be seen as if it was connected to each other like a broad avenue, and there seemed to be an indescribable energy that was continuously transmitted from the bright moon, through the golden light, you could vaguely see the person's face, the face carved by a knife and an axe, a goatee under the mustache, and a warm smile at the corner of the mouth seemed to be engraved, gentle and elegant, with a chest and back but not short, and his eyes looked at the old beggar with a little playfulness, If Li Mobai was awake, he would definitely recognize this person, who was the palace shopkeeper of the restaurant.
The distance between the two is not far, more than ten zhang, but this ten zhang seems to exist for the two of them as if they do not exist at all, although they have not been contacted, but the opportunity has already locked each other, the old beggar raised his head and drank a mouthful of burning knives, exhaled a long breath, and took back the right hand that was placed on Li Mobai's back, Li Mobai was still blushing and sleeping soundly, the old beggar took off the dirty black shirt on his body and draped it on Li Mobai's body, and then slowly walked forward, tilting his head and looking at the palace shopkeeper.
The palace shopkeeper was not angry at his arrogant behavior, seeing that he had just taken care of Li Mobai, he couldn't help but have a good impression in his heart, and said with his hands in his fists: "Brother Taigui, I hope you don't blame you for disturbing a lot just now!" ”
Although his words were gentle, he never thought that the old beggar didn't reply for half a sentence, and he didn't reply to it, but he saw that with a slight wave of his right hand, a beam of white light entered the arrow and shot quickly towards the palace shopkeeper, the palace shopkeeper was not angry when he saw this, and he didn't hide, the white beam of light collided with the golden light around him, and disappeared in an instant, and the palace shopkeeper waved his hand as if to brush away the dust that didn't exist on his body, "Wouldn't such a sneak attack break the rules of the rivers and lakes?" ”
Before he finished speaking, with a little foot, the whole person rose from the ground and flipped over in mid-air and landed steadily, and then looked behind him, a beam that was ten times thicker than the beam just now shot straight away and disappeared into the night sky, "Your Excellency has been like this again and again, don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless!" ”
It's another white light, but this time the white light is more condensed than the previous two, like a dragon swept over, constantly changing the direction to make people can't figure it out, the palace shopkeeper saw this and pinched a sword trick with both hands, and the golden light condensed into a light curtain in front of him to meet the impact of the white dragon, with a bang, like the sound of glass breaking, the golden light curtain shattered, but the white dragon just became thinner and continued to attack the palace shopkeeper, the palace shopkeeper knew that he couldn't hide it, and his body turned around and grabbed the void in his right hand, A golden sword appeared in his hand, only to see his wrist shake, the golden sword instantly bloomed a huge peony flower to devour the white dragon, the palace shopkeeper highlighted a breath of turbidity, and tried to raise the right hand holding the golden sword that was numb, looked at the dirty and inconspicuous old beggar in front of him in surprise, and tried to recall the trivial things and things that happened in the Li family courtyard during this time, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a clue about the old beggar, but just now, he secretly observed, It seems that he and Li Mobai have known each other for a long time, and they are very familiar, not to mention anything else, if it is said that this other place is better to say, he has been in this Li family courtyard for so long, it can be said that his eyeliner is all over the place, but why has no one found this old beggar of unknown origin?
"Hey, hey!" Just as the palace shopkeeper was thinking, the old beggar laughed out of place, and his voice was cold and gloomy with a hint of playfulness.
The palace shopkeeper took two steps back, the golden sword in his hand still did not put down, and asked loudly: "I don't know Taishan if I have eyes under you, I don't know what the seniors want to do here?" I don't want to offend him, but this kid has a poor background, and I hope that my predecessors will raise their noble hands and not hurt him! ”
"Hehe, poor background? Since his background is pitiful, why don't you treat him badly and let him beg for a living in Wudang Mountain every day? The sound of a deep and crisp voice came from the old beggar, and it was from him that it should not have been the voice of an old man.
"It's not a secret, I can't help it, it's really his mother who is too stubborn and unwilling to accept our favors, so I have to treat them with small favors!" The palace shopkeeper said softly.
"Well, don't talk to anyone about today's events, don't come back to this courtyard, and as for the others, don't change anything as before, go back!" The old beggar turned around as he spoke, and did not look at the palace treasurer again.
The palace shopkeeper opened his mouth to say something but suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face, did not dare to slack off, his body retreated in a hurry, but he never thought that this strong wind did not have half a point of subsidence like the gangrene of the bones, it seems that this old beggar has made up his mind to drive the palace shopkeeper away, until five miles away, the strong wind disappeared, the palace shopkeeper stood in the air, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help sighing: "I never thought that there was such a master, it was a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, it seems that there will be an explanation in the future!" ”
Seeing that the man had left, the old beggar gently picked up Li Mobai and slowly walked into the dilapidated thatched house, gently put him on the bed and covered the quilt and was about to turn away, but he heard a gentle voice behind him say: "Thank you!" ”
The corners of the old beggar's mouth curled up slightly and did not speak, strode out, outside the house, the moonlight was still so transparent and bright, as if it was daytime, the old beggar put on his shabby clothes, looked at it by the moonlight, sighed and said: "It has to be changed, otherwise this kid should be regarded as a liar, or go to Wudang Mountain to steal a robe, the fairy wind bone should be good!" As he spoke, he rose from the ground and flew towards the bright moon in the sky, and disappeared in a breath.
In the early morning, the sky is just bright, the bright moon has faded and the golden coat hangs in the western sky, the thatched house is already brightly lit, it may be that the sky is still dark, so it is so bright, there is no imaginary electric light, there are just a few black oil lamps, where the light reaches, a table and two beds, a cabinet and a large wardrobe, it is very simple and simple, and the sweet fragrance fills the whole room, Li Mobai squatted on the ground, there was a stove in front of him, and the red coal in the furnace was burning by himself, and he did not consider the iron pot on the fire at allLi Mobai carefully picked up three chopsticks to prop them in the iron pot, and then took out a few dough and put them on the chopsticks, then gently closed the lid of the pot, turned around and took out a clay pot from the cupboard, the clay pot was covered with a porcelain bowl, and it was gently placed next to the stove, bending down to block the tuyere under the stove, making sure that the fire in the furnace would not burn again, then he got up, looked at the mother who was still sleeping, and tiptoed out. The thatched house is dilapidated, and the sealing is not strong, so you don't have to worry about gas poisoning.
After walking fifty meters so lightly, Li Mobai put away his momentum and strode towards the village, and the day's work was about to start again......
