Komaki Shishi Aoki Chapter 5 Dock Castle
The golden sun is empty, and there are still many places in the northern land that are frozen soil, and although the yang energy is blazing, it still can't drive away the slightest chill. The white bones can be seen everywhere on both sides of the official road, and the yellow earth is full of desolation and sorrow, and only a few faint grass buds indicate that spring may have arrived.
Zhang Jiao and his party have been walking on the wasteland for two or three days, and there are constantly crowds of displaced people passing by them, Yu Ji stopped Zhang Jiao's idea of pulling people back to his hometown again, because there are too many displaced people along the way. So they gave only some food to those people, and a little water to the sick. Along the way, many people exclaimed that the gods were coming, and blessed the Taiping Dao people together.
In the past two days, Yu Ji taught Zhang Jiao to cultivate Qi, or rather, felt Qi. So Zhang Jiao couldn't help but want to learn the ability to save people by turning runes. He felt that the ability to save people without using medicinal herbs was really useful. Besides, it was the senior brother who shot all the way, which made him, the original little doctor, very itchy to watch.
"You have just practiced, and you are not in a hurry, this method needs to guide the Qi Transformation Talisman of Heaven and Earth, your foundation is still shallow, and you can't sense those powers yet, and it is easy to lose your essence." Yu Ji shook his head and explained.
"Nope! I want to learn! Please also teach me. Zhang Jiao was anxious, and began to be unrelenting, he saw that this cheap senior brother still favored him.
"No! If it is a general blessing technique, you can learn it, but this kind of blessing method of inducing Qi charm will hurt your body and damage your Daoji. "Yu Ji, who is usually very talkative, is now unusually tough.
Zhang Jiao was angry, grabbed his beard and turned around and ran, because Yu Ji was now back to the state of a rickety old man. He may have felt that the appearance of an old man would make him appear more respectable.
"You bunny!" Yu Ji glared and shouted. It's not that he doesn't teach. But I don't want Zhang Jiao to learn some mediocre wishes now, because that kind of spell is incomplete and not accessible to the Great Dao. If you are not careful, you will damage your own life, and even if you do it correctly, you will also lose a lot of essence and spirit, you must know that this heaven and earth are one, even if it does not damage your own life, it will also cause the luck of the caster to deteriorate. Even to the family. That kind of mutilated blessing is often pondered by some old guys who have no chance to become enlightened and like to drill the tip of the horns.
Zhang Jiao carried a cute little doll around his neck and walked slowly at the front of the line. In the distance, a fertile field came into view, and many farmers were working hard to carry water to irrigate the fields.
Zhang Jiao sighed, his heart was sad, and he almost burst into tears.
This is most likely the field of a local clan. It is important to know that when there is a great drought in the world, there will always be some rivers that will not dry up, and almost all the land around the rivers belongs to those families. The peasants who depended on the weather for food had no harvest, so in order to make a living, they either sold their land to exchange grain for those big families, or worked for those big families.
So the strange reality happened: under the natural disaster, the land of those great families became more fertile with more workers to take care of it. As for the land of those who were selling hard labor to these great tribes, it became more and more desolate.
On the contrary, the elders of the great families thought that it was a mercy, a gift to the peasants, because it gave them a way to live, at least not to starve to death. Then these people who carried water thanked the old man for his kindness and thanked the old man for taking them in. So those people worked harder to pick up water, for fear of being looked down upon by the old men. Because there are many refugees, in addition to the land by the river, the most important thing in the world is the land without water sources. Therefore, there is no shortage of farmers like them.
As for why the reality is so, heh! Who let those people's land have no river on the edge!
Zhang Jiao thought about it, and a huge dock fort appeared in front of him, and hundreds of thatched huts around the dock fort were scattered around, and the farther away from the center of the dock fort, the fewer houses there were. The soldiers on the observation tower looked at Zhang Jiao's team, and then went down to the tower to report. The other refugees were traveling from north to south, and it was difficult not to attract attention from Zhang Jiao's group of dozens of people who were walking in the wilderness.
When Zhang Jiao and his party walked into the field, all the peasants looked at them with unkind faces, with hostility, as if they were the most hateful enemies in the world. An old man in his forties even spat in front of them.
A knight came out of the dock fort and stopped them, looking very impatient, and pointed to a clearing next to the dock fort, and looked along his whip, where there were also dozens of nomads, half-grown boys and girls, women, and a few young men who looked strong, but there were no old men and children.
"People between the ages of fifteen and twenty-eight go to the open space and wait, and later my master will come and choose. The rest of the people are waiting on the side of the road, and when someone is chosen, I will come and inform their families to come and get food. The rider was very domineering, and he left such a sentence and prepared to return.
"Wait a minute, big brother, we're just going to go into the village to buy some things, and then borrow a road and leave." Zhang Jiao put the child down and politely stopped the knight.
The knight grabbed the reins and turned his horse's head, looking very unhappy, and pointed at Zhang Jiao with his whip and shouted, "You stinky boy is not here to entertain me, uncle!" It's so far from the official road, just you? Still buying something? Fart you! As he cursed, he was about to be whipped down. Because in his opinion, this group of people were dressed in tattered linen, except for the young man in front of them, the rest of them were dark-skinned, their eyes numb and dull, and even some of them unconsciously leaked flattery when they saw themselves. As for the young man's talk about going into town to buy something, heh! There are quite a few refugees who say this, just to get the attention of the old men so that they can sell it for a good price.
Just a few days ago, the knight had almost let a man infected with the plague go by his master with a whip several times. Thinking of this, the knight's gaze became more ferocious, and the whip in his hand was drawn harder.
"Yu Yu~" The horse under the knight's crotch suddenly neighed and stood upright. Directly threw the knight five or six meters away. Throw it in front of the old man in his forties.
"What a good horse!" Zhang Jiao was sincerely admired.
The old man was pouring water on the wheat seedlings one by one, when suddenly a big living person flew down, and the old man looked at it and was so frightened that his soul was not possessed. The scoop in his hand came out of his hand and poured it on the rider's face.
"Old man Wu, you are presumptuous!" The knight's face was flushed, and his teeth bared in pain. Then he became angry and lost his majesty in front of so many subordinates.
"Lord Deng's life, my lord, are you okay, the small one is not intentional." The old man turned pale and hurried to help the rider.
"Hurry up and get someone to catch these strangers!" The rider's face was a little pale, and he looked at Zhang Jiao hatefully, and it seemed that the fall was not light.
"Come on, don't let these outsiders run away!" Wu Laohan shouted loudly as he helped the knight who fell to the ground.
All the people who were carrying water to water the ground gathered around when they heard the sound, and the people who were a little far away put down their buckets and came over.
After a short time, Zhang Jiao and the others were surrounded, and these peasants were basically young and strong men, the oldest looked less than thirty years old, and the youngest was even only seventeen or eighteen years old. It seems that Wu Laohan is the oldest one.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Ji also walked up from behind and stood in front of Zhang Jiao.
"What do you want to do? How dare you ask us? You old immortal stranger, you can't stand up straight, and you dare to come with us to grab a job! Seeing that his companions were slowly surrounding, Wu Laohan was full of confidence.
He has been trembling these days, if he hadn't worked for the master for a long time, he would have become a member of the homeless tide, but recently people have been looking for the master every day to ask for take-in, and several old guys who worked together before were gradually dismissed by the master's family, and slowly, Wu Laohan became the oldest person in the serf. Wu Laohan also began to get anxious, and he worked harder and harder day by day. He was scared.
Wu Laohan felt that these people in front of him were completely uncompetitive with him, looking at the little old man. Several of them had dark faces, making it difficult to see their facial features, and the only teenager looked to be only fifteen years old, and his strength had not yet grown. Thinking of this, Wu Laohan scolded even more unscrupulously. Directly pointed at Yu Ji's nose and began to scold.
"You old pickled! Look at your upright waist, can you still do hard work! You @#& Wu Laohan was full of energy, and his eyebrows danced.
Yu Ji's face turned a little blue, and he pointed at Wu Laohan, you and you, and you didn't come out of a reason.
"Good scolding!" The knight sneered.
Hearing the rider's words, Wu Laohan was full of confidence in his heart, and wanted to behave well in front of the knight, so he scolded even harder.
"You old thing, get out of here with these people! Look at your miscellaneous beard, black, white and gray, disgusting! Still want to eat? ! Take these, you untouchables, and be your lonely ghosts! "Wu Laohan is like a chicken blood, full of firepower.
"You, you, you Ahhh Yu Ji was angry, and his beard shook and shook. He pointed one finger at the blue sky and swiped hard.
Bang! Bang!
On a sunny day, the sky suddenly darkened, and a thunderbolt fell, cutting a large hole in the land in front of Wu Laohan and the knight.
The knight was startled, and the tassels on the top of his helmet rose with the force of lightning, and then slowly fell under the gaze of the people.
As for the old man Wu behind the knight, he was bleeding from all his knots, the boss with his eyes open looked at the sky, his body kept trembling, his mouth was wide open, and he let out a "ho... Ho", there was no movement after a while.
Everyone was stunned, they only saw the old man slashing with his hand, and Wu Laohan and the knight were frozen. As for the second Wu Lao's hair, it stood up and then slowly drooped down, as did the red tassel on the knight's top.
This, what a means this is. Staying so far away, obviously nothing happened, and with a wave of his hand, Wu Laohan died violently, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his crotch was still wet, looking scared to death. The key knight is the same, although he is not dead, he is also frightened, his crotch is wet, and he looks at Yu Ji with wide eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze.
Those who gathered around did not dare to act rashly, and looked at each other.
Yu Jiha gasped for a long time, and finally lost his breath, and when he brushed his beard, the beard turned pure white, which was crystal clear. Then he glared at the rider and snorted heavily.
The rider woke up like a dream, and hurriedly turned over and crawled towards Yu Ji's feet. When I lost my god, I kept saying things like gods sparing my life, and gods sparing my life.
One of the men who surrounded him hurriedly ran to the dock fort, a group of people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and knelt down one after another, and one of them was frightened when he remembered Wu Laohan's tragic situation, and muttered in a whisper: "Immortals? ”
Zhang Jiao took a step forward, and the fox pointed at the man and said, "Mortal with the naked eye!" How can you peep into the transformation of immortals! Hum! ”
Yu Ji's expression was a little unnatural, and he stepped forward and pulled Zhang Jiao's collar. He stretched his head into Zhang Jiao's ear and whispered to Zhang Jiao, and asked, "Have you seen Senior Brother?" ”
"What big brother? Aren't you a big brother? Zhang Jiao felt a little unnatural, and an old man almost pressed to his ear. Hurry to break free.
"And you...? Hum! Hurry up. Yu Ji was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and took the lead towards Wubao.
"What a senior brother, the gods are chattering." Zhang Jiao was confused, and called the team to follow along.
As for the rider and the group of men, they didn't dare to stop them, and knelt on the side of the road and trembled.
