Volume 1 Wandering Chapter 19 Temporary Shelter in Tawau
Gou Yuan was about to return the crystal bead to Lin Zining, and when he saw the light in Cat Seventeen's eyes, he changed his words: "However, you do have to thank General Cat, if he hadn't said that he had retired the thief and rescued you from the stone cave, I am afraid that you would have died in Huangquan." In this way, you will give this night pearl to General Catfish, how about it? ”
Lin Zining thought that Gou Yuan was going to return the crystal bead to himself, but he didn't want him to give the crystal bead to this catfish seventeen as soon as he changed his mind. I also held a bad breath in my heart, but I had to comfort myself that it was better to fall into the hands of Cat Seventeen than in the hands of Hook Yuan. Hurriedly pretending to be grateful, he said: "If this is the case, it is not a pearl leftover, and I hope that General Catfish will not dislike the gift." ”
Although Cat Seventeen also has a few night pearls rewarded by Hook Yuan in his hand, he is greedy for money by nature, where would he dislike another night pearl? If it weren't for the fact that this Wang Lecheng was the person you wanted to see by name, he would have been ignorant directly.
At this time, seeing that Gou Yuan rewarded him with this bead, Cat Seventeen was happy in his heart, and hurriedly took the crystal bead and thanked Gou Yuan. As for Lin Zining, he didn't bother to look at it.
Accepting the crystal beads, Cat Seventeen asked again: "Jun Hou, how should Wang Lecheng be placed?" ”
Hearing this, Gou Yuan looked at Lin Zining and asked, "Wang Lecheng, what do you think now, you can tell me about it." ”
Lin Zining said in his heart, I want you to return the crystal beads to me, okay? But people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and there are two evil cultivators outside who don't know how to deal with them, so they still take refuge here for the time being.
So, Lin Zining said: "Tell you, I am now a lonely person, if you don't dislike it, you can leave me to do something in the house, although I don't have any ability, but I still know a few words, help you thank the paperwork, do something to usher in, it's okay." ”
Gou Yuan thought to himself, but this was similar to what I thought, and said: "For the time being, let you be a scribe in the mansion, and listen to General Cat's orders." General Cat, you pass on the method of breathing in the water, and then let people lead him around the mansion, don't let him out of the mansion, and don't let the wicked man come to rob him again. ”
Lin Zining couldn't imagine that this hook yuan was a master who took money to do things, and this arrangement was not bad, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your grace, I'm tired of General Cat." ”
Out of the main hall, Cat Seventeen took Lin Zining to a courtyard called Shuihua Palace next to him. As the so-called Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, Lin Zining knows that he will basically stay under Cat Seventeen in the future, and whether he can see Gou Yuan again is a matter of two words.
Along the way, he touted and flattered Cat Seventeen, and said a lot of words by the way. Knowing the origin of this Tawau Jun, I also know that Tawau Lake is divided into upper and lower lakes, the small river in the upper lake goes to Luanping City, but there is an undercurrent in the lower lake that leads directly to the Chu River, which flows into the Tongtian River, and the other undercurrent leads directly to the East China Sea.
Cat Seventeen saw that Lin Zining was very upright, and he was very happy in his heart, since he had a baby, he had one more subordinate who could speak well, could he not be happy? I still thought that if this kid didn't have eyes, and he wanted to get back the Night Pearl, he would arrange a drudgery for him, but he didn't want this kid to be very well-behaved enough to arrange an easier job.
When they arrived at Shuihua Palace, Cat Seventeen sat at the top, and Lin Zining stood at the bottom of the hall. Lin Zining's move made Cat Seventeen feel that Lin Zining was not only obedient, but also duty, and he didn't kick his nose in the face because he said a few witty words to him, and his heart was even more comfortable.
"Since we will serve the monarch together in the future, you don't have to be too angry, you don't have to stand, just sit aside." Seeing that Lin Zining sat down after giving up his hand, Cat Seventeen was very happy, and said in his heart, after all, he was a scholar, and he was not the same as those savages in the water, so he had the heart to use Lin Zining.
It's not that Cat Seventeen attaches too much importance to Lin Zining, but it's understandable. First, Lin Zining is an outsider, and he has no heels, so he can only rely on himself; second, he has the grace to save his life, and he can just control him; Thirdly, Lin Zining has no cultivation, even if he has any other thoughts, he can't make waves.
Cat Seventeen has an important heart for Lin Zining, so he wants to take the school exam: "Le Cheng, you said that you are literate and hyphenated, but is it?" "This catfish seventeen still dragged the text.
Lin Zining said: "The subset of scripture and history is slightly involved, and I dare not say that I am proficient in it, and I recognize a few words." ”
"And how about you do the math?"
"Before my family had a small business, I helped my father keep accounts and manage account books."
Although Tawau Jun Goyin is old and has many relatives and friends, there are not many letters exchanged in a year, only more in one or two months in a year, and there is nothing to do at other times, but the management of the account books in the house has always been chaotic, and it needs to be managed by people who are good at planning. Since Lin Zining still understands this, it will be easy to do.
So, Cat Seventeen said with a happy face: "In this way, you will be a scribe in the palace to manage the account room, if there is a correspondence between the king, you will also be responsible for writing, how about it?" ”
When Lin Zining heard this, this was not bad, so he said, "Dare not obey your fate?" More generals are loving. ”
"Well, you're good." Catfish Seventeen felt more and more that it was pleasing to Lin Zining.
At this moment, Li Qi's voice came from above the lake, Lin Zining was shocked, and said with a panicked look on his face: "General, that wicked man is chasing after you." ”
Seeing that Lin Zining was so flustered, Cat Seventeen felt a little unbearable, and hurriedly relieved: "Don't panic, well, I'll let someone take you to hide, and I'll go and ask Jun Hou to deal with that person." ”
Saying that, Cat Seventeen called a carp essence and asked him to take Lin Zining to hide in the stone cave leading to the dark river of the Chu River, and before leaving, he also taught Lin Zining the trick of avoiding water. But it was too late, so he could only teach him the method of avoiding water first, and then after dealing with Li Qi, he really taught Lin Zining the method of breathing in water.
So one person and two demons were divided into two ways, Lin Zining followed the carp spirit to the dark river, and Cat Seventeen returned to the main hall Doufu Palace to discuss with Gou Yuan how to deal with Li Qi.
After listening to Lin Zining's introduction, Gou Yuan felt that Li Qi and the others had not seen much power, and he was too lazy to discuss with Cat Seventeen, so he opened the gate without saying a word, rushed to the lake, and faced Li Qi directly.
Li Qi looked at the momentum of this lake king, and he was afraid that he was above himself, so he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so he first apologized, and then asked if he saw a mortal enter the lake.
Obviously, Li Qi could only return in disappointment, and when Li Qi came back, it was already the time of Hai, and Gao Qing's spirit was almost recovered. Seeing Li Qi returning alone, Gao Qing knew that Lin Zining had run away.
However, he didn't say anything, he just felt strange that he suddenly couldn't feel the existence of Gu worms on Lin Zining's body. Fortunately, all the cold poison in the body has been forced out, and Lin Zining is not necessary for the later recuperation.
Gao Qing thought for a while before he said to Li Qi: "Lin Zining, this kid will run away if he escapes, we will repair it tomorrow for another day, and leave Dasui as soon as possible the day after tomorrow." ”
Li Qi looked at Gao Qing intently and asked, "Go to Jin Wuguo?" ”
"Go to Jin Wuguo first, and then talk about it later."
Let's say that Lin Zining followed the carp spirit to a three-way crossing, and the direction they came from was a fork, and there was a stone staircase on the left and right that led to the bottom of the road. The carp spirit led Lin Zining to the fork on the left, and Lin Zining asked the fork on the right of the carp essence to lead to the East China Sea.
Lin Zining is not very old, and his temperament is also cold in his bones, but the experience of being a buddy in the past three years has taught him the kung fu of seeing people and talking about ghosts. This is not the meaning of being a two-faced person without boundaries and being a two-faced person. When you meet a ghost who can't understand human speech, how can you do it if you don't talk nonsense?
Along the way, Lin Zining and this carp spirit also talked and laughed, and escaped a lot of news. Seeing that Lin Zining was curious about that road, the carp said: "But no, back then, your land court sent a lot of people to attack Jun Hou, and Jun Hou said that Tawau Lake could lead directly to the East China Sea, and if he was in a hurry, he would flee to the East China Sea, and when the limelight passed, he would come back from the East China Sea." Your court has no choice, so you have made the king the king of the lake. ”
Lin Zining couldn't imagine that there was such a story in this, and asked: "Then our king, the origin must be extraordinary, right?" "He's trying to hook the bottom of the abyss.
The carp didn't think it was anything to say, but said with a smug face: "Jun Hou was originally an ancient alien species, and after hooking the snake, he came here from the East China Sea along the dark river on the right three thousand years ago. Every 50th birthday, there are immortals from the East China Sea who come to pay their respects. ”
Hooked snake? Lin Zining searched carefully in his mind, but he was not impressed, and it seemed that he could make a good inquiry when Tawau came out.
One person and one demon didn't go far, and they heard the deafening sound of water, this is Hook Yuan's mansion, and there is a light shield above the mansion to isolate the lake, so the water tribe that has not become a demon can't come down, and Lin Zining in the mansion is also breathing freely.
Turning left and right all the way, and after walking for I don't know how many steps, Lin Zining felt that the water vapor was blowing on his face, and the depleted true qi in the dantian was slowly growing. Lin Zining thought to himself, if the crystal bead was there, he would be able to recover his true qi in an instant.
After walking a few dozen steps, Lin Zining saw the waves of white flowers, splashing and surging in the dark river with no edge in sight. The water vapor was so full that Lin Zining couldn't breathe well, and then he understood why Cat Seventeen wanted to pass on the water avoidance trick to himself. So, Lin Zining was busy reciting the trick of avoiding water and continued to walk with the carp essence.
After walking a few steps, the carp spirit pointed to a stone cave in the upper right and said, "That's what General Cat said, we don't usually go there, you just go there yourself." ”
Lin Zining asked, "Why don't you water tribes go there?" Is it a forbidden place? Don't you come here on weekdays? ”
"It's not a forbidden place here, it's just that our water tribe itself is sticky and slippery, and after turning into a human form, our feet are not as convenient as your human race, and it is very slippery there, and if you are not careful, it is easy to fall into the dark river. If you fall, you don't know if you will come back. The carp spirit patiently explained.
When Lin Zining heard this, he also walked over cautiously, but he wondered, why did the catfish spirit indicate where to take him?
