Chapter 141: A Hundred Monsters (I)
(I was traveling abroad for the last week, so the update was a real mess.) And then it's stable. There's one more chapter tonight. οΌ
Although the sky is dark, it is not too late in fact, and the courtyard of the Qiulu Inn is exquisitely and elegantly arranged, Li Huaidong touched and pinched it, and there was no sleepiness, taking advantage of Chen Ping'an's carving hosta, the child simply took out the wooden box given by the land lord of Qidun Mountain, placed it horizontally on the table, and put the painted puppets, together with the five clay figures presented by the sword fairy Wei Jin of the Fengxue Temple, into it, and then threw the "Broken Water Cliff" purchased from Red Candle Town.
After "moving", this long box made of delicate yellow and gloomy wood, there is still room for free, the wooden box is red, Qidun Mountain Wei Bai said that it is because it has been buried in the soil for countless years, the color gradually turns red from yellow, and the wood is not rotten, but gives birth to a strange fragrance. Li Huai put his head on the wooden box at this time, and sniffed it carefully, the fragrance was still the same, and it had not diluted, no worse than when he took it out and smelled it at the pillow station.
Li Huai began to break his fingers, left his hometown town, traveled to study, and slept all the way, he Li Huai relied on hardships and hard work, or a small harvest, in addition to the most precious green bamboo bookcase in the corner, as well as this delicate yellow wooden box and puppets, clay figures, in fact, in the book "Broken Water Cliff", there are also a few very valuable silverfish, as well as the blue fish that was slapped into the book by Ah Liang, but Li Huai does not like to read, and rarely reads this book, which cost Chen Ping'an nearly ten taels of silver.
At this time, looking at Chen Ping'an, who was concentrating on carving words on the hairpin, Li Huai thought that he had spent so much money on others, but he didn't turn the book much, and when he bought the book, he also swore that Chen Ping'an would definitely read the book, which made the child feel a little guilty, so he took out the seemingly brand-new "Broken Water Cliff" from the wooden box, turned a page casually, and began to read the text silently, Li Huai planned to make his conscience feel better.
Li Huai patted his head, remembered something, quickly reached into the neckline, touched a pocket sewn by his sister Li Liu, twisted out an oiled paper bag, shook it at Chen Ping'an, and grinned: "Chen Ping'an, do you know what this is?"
Chen Ping'an carefully put down the hairpin and carving knife, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "What is it?"
Li Huai's face was full of pride, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the oiled paper bag, and explained: "At the beginning, people kept leaving the school, and in the end, only me, Li Baohua, Lin Shouyi, Shi Chunjia and Dong Shuijing were left. Later, Mr. did not take back the original post, this study tour, my mother thinks that the word Mr., although it is neatly written, it is not as good as the big characters on the Spring Festival couplets next door, the ink is heavy, and the strength is enough, but I and Mr. Qi master and apprentice, staying is a thought, so let my sister secretly sew pockets in the clothes and put them in the oil paper bag. I later asked Li Baohua and Lin Shouyi, Li Baohua said that he didn't know where he lost it, and Lin Shouyi said that he had put it at home, and he was afraid that it would be easy to lose and destroy it when he brought it out. β
Li Huai opened the folded paper and gently smoothed out the folds, only to see the small Qi character poster, square and palm-sized.
Li Huai stared at that word for a moment, raised his head and said seriously: "Chen Ping'an, give this Qi character to you, it's useless for me to keep it, and I often lose it." β
Chen Ping'an shook his head and smiled: "If you are afraid of losing it, before you arrive at the Great Sui Academy, I can temporarily help you keep it, but since this is the homework given to you by Mr. Qi, then you, as a student disciple of Mr. Qi, should treasure it, even if Mr. Qi is gone, there is no need to copy it, but just like your mother said, keep the calligraphy by yourself, it is a thought." β
Li Huai nodded, casually put the calligraphy between the pages, and then closed the "Broken Water Cliff" and threw it into the wooden box.
As everyone knows, among the pages, the three silverfish and the blue fish hidden on different pages have left a certain place in the original book, through the gaps between the lines, quickly swimming, and finally quickly entered the same character sticker, worthy of the name like a fish in water, extremely happy.
Compared with Li Huai's bumper harvest of shit luck all the way, Lin Shouyi is actually not bad, a large stack of ancient talismans with high and low ranks, good and bad materials, a "Langlang Book on the Clouds", and a "Sou Shan Tu" painted with more than 100 kinds of mountain spirits and ghosts, which was given by the blind old Taoist, because Chen Ping'an gave the lame boy a snake gallstone in excellent condition, as a gift, the old Taoist took out this treasure that claimed to be the ancestral heirloom of the master, and was transferred to Lin Shouyi by Chen Ping'an.
As for the Li Bao Vase, there are more famous sword talismans and silver sword raising gourds, there are not many things, only two, but they are all immortal heavy weapons coveted by monks in the world.
Only Chen Ping'an, who contributed the most, seemed to end up, but only the slightly withered and shriveled pale golden lotus seed, and now he didn't know what it was for, and now he owed a lot of debt to the young man in white.
Li Huai lay on the table and said in an old tone: "Lin Shouyi's family is very rich, but the identity of that illegitimate son is very embarrassing, so this guy may be more sensitive, Chen Ping'an, don't be like him." β
Chen Ping'an nodded, "I'll go back to him and say it's okay." β
Li Huai came up with a sentence for no reason, "Good people and honest people are at a loss, my father is like this, and you are like this, Chen Ping'an, otherwise you should not be a good person in the future, think more about yourself in the future, and you don't need to endure others in everything." Otherwise, you won't be good, and Li Baohua, who thinks you are the little uncle, will be angry first. β
Speaking of Li Bao Vase, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile and asked, "The Aquase always bullies you, why do you never fight back?"
Li Huai blurted out with a natural face: "I don't dare, I can't beat her!"
Chen Ping'an laughed, and the tiredness of working hard to carve the words was suddenly swept away.
Li Huai looked at Chen Ping'an who was laughing happily, and the child also laughed happily, because Chen Ping'an didn't smile like this in his impression, and Chen Ping'an, no matter what he did or said, was always very restrained and restrained, for fear of saying something wrong or doing something wrong.
Li Huai immediately remembered his father, who seemed to be also this virtue, pursed his mouth, even if he was happy, his eyebrows drooped, but he was not very happy.
Li Huai hesitated, but he still planned to say something to Chen Ping'an that was hidden in his heart, and the child whose head was resting on the table stretched his neck, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously: "Do you know why I always let Li Baohua?"
Chen Ping'an joked: "You like her?"
Li Huai rolled his eyes, "How is it possible, I'm only so old! Besides, I'm not Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, two color embryos, every time my sister comes to the school to help me bring something, those two guys' eyes fall to the ground." Especially Dong Shuijing, every time I find an excuse to go to my house to play, when my sister is not there, she is sick, as soon as my sister comes home, Dong Shuijing is like a chicken blood, eager to fill my house with water from two large tanks. My mother, I like Dong Shuijing, I think people are honest, like my father, my sister, I guess I should prefer Lin Shouyi, Si Siwenwen, more like a reader. β
After saying bad things about Lin Shouyi and Dong Shuijing, Li Huai's face turned gloomy and returned to the topic: "In the school, everyone laughed at my father, saying that my father was the most wretched man in the town, he was rich, unproductive, he didn't eat soft rice all day long, and he was even more unproductive, stupid, the dragon gave birth to the dragon and the phoenix gave birth to the phoenix, and the son of the mouse would make holes, so his son, that is, me, was the most useless in reading, and every time Mr. took the exam, I was at the bottom." β
Li Huai grinned and squinted his eyes with a smile, "Li Baohua's family background is the best in the school, but including Lin Shouyi, she doesn't play with anyone, she flies around like a gust of wind every day, always the last one to come to class, and the first to disappear after class." Although she will think I am noisy, she likes to beat me up when I have nothing to do. But she never laughed at my father, once my father came to the school to find me, everyone disliked it, only Li Baohua was willing to show my father the way, and called him Uncle Li, which made my father happy for many days. Every time someone deliberately told my father as a joke in front of me, Li Baohua would always stop them and prevent them from speaking ill of my father. β
Chen Ping'an sighed: "So that's the case." By the way, Li Huai, do you have the most annoying person?"
Li Huai was stunned, "No, every time I come home, eat a fragrant fat chicken leg, and listen to my mother reprimand my father and my sister with trivial things, all my unhappiness is gone." β
Chen Ping'an directly twisted the wick with his fingers to make the light brighter, and said with a smile: "You are amazing." β
Li Huai was puzzled: "What is so powerful about me?" I also think that you are not afraid of the hot very bad, you can go up the mountain and go into the water without wearing straw sandals, can chop wood and fish, that is amazing, Li Baohua is such a wild girl, when she was very young, she liked to climb the tree, and then shouted Fei Fei Fei, plopped and fell to the ground, never cried, stood up by herself, and finally limped home, for fear of walking wrong, and being seen by the elders in the family, she would deliberately delay until late to go home, even people like her who are not afraid of heaven and earth, think that you are the most amazing person in the world. β
Chen Ping'an picked up the carving knife again, "When you grow up, you will know why you are so powerful." β
Li Huai couldn't understand, looking at those hairpins, his eyes became more and more greedy, "When will you give us the hairpins?"
Chen Ping'an stopped the lettering, "Let's go to the Great Sui Academy." β
Li Huai asked, "Why did you give that "Searching the Mountain" to Lin Shouyi? I can see that you like it very much. β
Chen Ping'an held up a hosta, and carefully gazed at the subtle lines on the hairpin by the light, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold good things, and you are not outsiders, I don't feel sorry for giving it to you." β
Li Huai didn't open which pot to mention, and asked tentatively: "Spend two thousand taels of silver a night, and you don't feel distressed?"
Chen Ping'an put down the hosta and carving knife, put it away and put it back in the box, and said with a straight face: "I have to go out for a walk, take a few more steps to see the scenery, and I will earn back a few taels of silver." β
Li Huai turned his head to look at Chen Ping'an's back, and the child was secretly happy.
Li Huai waited until Chen Ping'an closed the door, and silently told himself that he must give Chen Ping'an the best thing in the future.
Because of this guy, along the way, he has walked through so many mountains and rivers, and he doesn't know how many times he has just accompanied his timid self to pee and in the distance, and then stood not far away to talk to himself.
ββββ
Chen Ping'an didn't dare to wander around, walked to the pavilion, and saw Lin Shouyi sitting there unexpectedly, not daring to disturb the mountain immortal who stood out first in the team, and watched from a distance for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, when he saw Lin Shouyi standing up and beckoning to him.
Chen Ping'an walked into the pavilion, compared with the handsome young man before entering the Qiulu Inn, Lin Shouyi at the moment seemed to have more elegant demeanor.
Lin Shouyi picked a topic that was not embarrassing, "That Cui Dongshan borrowed a talisman from me, so he broke the rules of the inn, walked out of this pavilion, jumped into the old well, and disappeared." β
Chen Ping'an said softly: "Whether Cui Dongshan is dead or alive, I don't care, and I won't care." β
Lin Shouyi held back for a long time, then turned his head to look at the well, "Regarding the stay at the Qiulu Inn, I know that you are kind, but you should greet me in advance." β
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I will do it in the future." β
Lin Shouyi turned his head and carefully looked at the straw sandals boy's face and eyes, "That's it?"
Chen Ping'an asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?"
Lin Shouyi laughed at himself: "I thought you would reason with me, or be straightforward, roll up your sleeves and beat me, I am actually ready to fight back and scold or not." β
Chen Ping'an shook his head, didn't speak, leaned against the pillar of the pavilion, and looked at the well at the old city god ruins, Chen Ping'an couldn't see anything famous.
Lin Shouyi looked at Chen Ping'an, "I'm sorry." β
Chen Ping'an smiled and waved his hand, sat cross-legged, and then stared at the old well without blinking.
Lin Shou was relieved, and then wondered, "What are you doing?"
The straw sandals boy said seriously: "I want to see the silver back!"
The cold young man, who was already a cultivator, hurriedly reached out and rubbed his cheeks vigorously, just to keep himself from laughing.
ββββ
On the banks of the cold food river, the mansion of the great water.
The man in the green robe on the throne looked at the guests in the hall, and some people kept getting up to toast and saying words of praise and virtue, inevitably revealing some complacency.
Just now, there was a well-known writer in the government and the opposition, and once again stood up to toast, saying that the county has been smooth for so many years, and everything is due to him, the water god master, in his words, the good or bad of the people of a county has nothing to do with the county guard surnamed Wei. The key is this slightly naked whisker and horse, there is a person here, wearing Huang Tingguo's official uniform from the third grade, without hesitation, got up and toasted, echoing the writer, full of beautiful words, as a high-ranking official from the third grade, a state don't drive, the highest official rank of this sacrifice ceremony, facing him who sits on the throne, he keeps saying that the water god is the master.
Once you become a deity who enjoys incense, your name and family are all hidden, and as for those who can meet the deity in person, you generally need to pay attention to this point, and you will not name your name.
The saying "master" is a relatively safe popular name, as for why this is so, there are different opinions, one of the most conclusive statements, saying that it is one of the three personal disciples of Daozu, one of whom likes to call the teacher master, Daozu gladly accepted, so it has been passed down to this day.
The man in the green robe slowly retracted his gaze, and there were four henchmen sitting on the left and right sides of the hall, following him to fight in all directions, the long one was more than three hundred years, and the short one was more than a hundred years.
However, this carp spirit has a task at this time, and the position is vacant.
One is the water snake cultivation refinement, using a pair of iron maces, which is an immortal relic that he inadvertently obtained, and every time he fights with people, he likes to smash the opponent's head with an iron mace. He likes to devour boys and girls, but he is only restrained by the men in green robes, and occasionally goes out to forage for food, and does not dare to be too unscrupulous.
There is also a toad born in the water barrier, the best talent, but the nature is lazy, the realm is the lowest, but the talent is extraordinary, at every turn at the fork of the big river, swallow a lot of river water, as long as you don't close your mouth, you can keep drawing water, never burst the abdomen. Therefore, no one dared to bully, and he was deeply valued by the man in the green robe, and there were once two river and water gods who joined forces to commit rebellion, and gathered many forces to try to overthrow the position of the man in the green robe. The right-hand man of the god of the cold food river was ordered to sneak ashore and sneak into the source of a river, and then showed his true body, the body shape was like a mountain, and swallowed the source of the river water, forcing the river god to surrender without a fight, causing another river god to be isolated, and finally the ancestral temple and golden body were smashed by the man in the green robe, and all the pieces sank somewhere at the bottom of the cold food river, and they could not be reborn forever.
The last one, a little out of place, beautiful bearded Confucian shirt, polite and polite, if it weren't for the black and blue face, different from the living people in the yang world, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a middle-aged Confucian in the scholarly family.
The Hanshi River is 800 miles long, passing through the boundaries of three states and eight counties, so the northern part of Huangting Kingdom needs to rely on the nourishment of this big river. Although this person has never been known for his combat power in this Dashui Mansion, he is recognized as the chief military advisor, always hiding behind the scenes, giving advice to the water god, and does not like to form gangs and be mavericks.
The beautiful maids who served tea and wine in the lobby were half beautiful in the world, and half of the women who applied special fat powder to hide the breath of the dead corpse were water ghosts who fell into the water and died.
Water ghosts in the world, whether they drown or commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water, naturally not everyone can become a water ghost, after death must be angry, as well as the innate physique before death, and the time of death, there are all particular sayings, all three, luck to be able to condense the soul and not disperse, only then can it be accepted as a maid by the water mansion, among which there are water ghosts who are destroyed by the wind and continue to disappear.
For example, there are many soul winds and winds blowing in the golden autumn season, the five elements of gold are killed, two winds one in the day, one in the night, taking turns to drift, is one of the natural enemies of ghosts, the so-called "soul scattered" in the world, this is one of the sources, the two winds generally only threaten the feminine, but if the living person is extremely weak and blessed, it is also possible to be injured by this wind.
Then there is the so-called autumn queen beheading, and the imperial court and government generally carry out executions in the autumn, which is the reason, in order to prevent the birth of powerful ghosts.
In addition, even if the ordinary master has heard the bursts of spring thunder, to the evil yin, it is really like a drum urging life, and it is a difficult pass.
It can be seen that if it is not easy to be a human, it seems that it is not easy to be a ghost.
Except for the four henchmen of the Dashui Mansion, they were all guests who came to congratulate them.
The most pleasing character of the man in the green robe is, of course, the now famous writer, who was just a poor sour talent who accidentally stumbled and fell into the water. It's a pity that this person is really not the material to be an official, even if he has the support of the water god lord, he still only does the six-grade official, and he can't get mixed up, and finally simply declares his resignation and retirement, in the Hezhou mountains and wilderness in the north of the Huangting Kingdom, he built a luxurious mansion, and became the prime minister of the mountains and forests at ease, after more than 20 years of operation, he has been known as the Sven suzerain of the northern Shilin of the Huangting Kingdom, and has been advocating momentum for the water god of the cold food river, just about the poems of the cold food river, there are more than 20 songs, and a large number of literati will be invited every two or three years to hold a poetry meeting on the cold food riverγ
As for the son of a writer who rose all the way in the temple of Huang Tingguo, and the grandson with mediocre roots became a cultivator, no one was willing to delve into it, or he didn't have the courage to get to the bottom of it.
The self-proclaimed Huang Lao Daoist literary sect master was talking happily with Master Beijia at this time, and his laughter was hearty.
Don't drive, it is the nominal third-in-command of a state, and the top spot is, of course, the assassin Shi, and then the general who is stationed in the local area and holds the military power. Huang Tingguo's military generals are weak, and the temple is heavy on military force, so the official authority of Don't drive is often above the general of a state, and the meaning of the existence of Don't Drive is more used by the emperor to restrain and balance the history of assassination.
At this time, everyone subconsciously stopped talking, turned their heads to look in the direction of the door, and saw a man in armor with two long beards on his cheeks, striding into the hall, clasping his fists and laughing: "Hui Yu Master, that loose cultivator who doesn't know the height of the sky is dead, and his head has been twisted off by me, there is no accident." β
The blue-robed man first glanced at the look of a white-haired old man in the hall, and found that the burly man with a halberd at his waist wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said, "If you have a fart, let it go." β
This person is the man who went to the Qiulu Inn through the old well, the deity is a red carp, he grinned, and said happily: " Before the young Sanxiu died, he shook a lot of scandals, there are yours, and there are some big families in the county, of course, more of them are the county guards surnamed Wei, it is very ugly, the eighteenth generation of the ancestors have scolded back and forth several times, if it weren't for my quick shot, I'm afraid that the guy surnamed Wei, when he was a child, did he pee his pants, he had to tell this guy, no accident, tomorrow the county town will be full of wind and rain, all of which are jokes of Wei Junshou. β
The blue-robed man was obviously a little surprised, "Oh?"
The burly carp spirit was about to speak, the man in the green robe waved his hand, signaling him to hurry back to his seat, don't talk nonsense, the former had to sit down obediently, glanced at the man who looked like a scribe, the latter smiled and nodded, signaling a little restless, the burly man then let go of his hands and feet to eat meat in large pieces, and drank wine in a big bowl.
Hearing the news that Sanxiu died violently in the county town, there was a young man with a sickly face in the scene, who immediately couldn't hide his laughter, and frequently poured wine and drank bitterly.
In the county town, the will of the county guard surnamed Wei was depressed, and there was no corpse of the young cultivator.
The guests of honor in the Dashui Mansion are happy.
The contrast is stark.
The man in the green robe raised his head suddenly and looked at the door, this cold food Jiang Zhengshen had gloomy eyes.
There was a white-clothed young man in the wind of Yushu, standing quietly outside the door, stretching out his hand to pat his sleeves, flicking away some water droplets, and finally the young man stepped over the tall threshold, looked left and right, and said with a hippie smile: "People are not ghosts, ghosts are not gods, strange and strange." β
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
