Chapter 15: The Man in the Broken House

For cultivators, danger is often an opportunity, the greater the danger, the more likely it is to help them break through the realm, Master Huang Yang met a horse thief in the Western Wilderness, and became enlightened at the time of life and death, and the Guan Lord entered the legendary realm of tranquility in front of thousands of knives in Chang'an City, these are all clear proofs.

Leaving Chang'an City was naturally an adventure for Ning Que, but he had to come, and he also wanted to figure out this journey and really master the human character.

The light and water of the lake and the edification of nature, the various states of the world in the cabin, and the thoughts of forgetting to sleep and eat made him a little vaguely touched, but he was never able to implement it in his cultivation.

Two days and one night later, the passenger ship was moored on the wharf of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the people in the cabin carried their luggage ashore with the stench all over their bodies.

Wang Jingluo was not beside him, Ning Que carried an iron knife on his back and a box with iron arrows, so it was naturally inconvenient to enter the city, he left the official road, climbed the rarely visited peak, found a mountain stream and took a bath, caught a yellow sheep and roasted it to eat, and then slept peacefully in the tree.

Many years ago, when he was a teenager, he was able to carry Sangsang on his back and live freely in Minshan, not to mention that now Haoran is angry, and he can kill a tiger by throwing a stone, which is very difficult for ordinary people, there is no difficulty for him, and he can live very comfortably.

Walking in the mountains and wilderness of the Southern Jin Dynasty, it didn't take long to see the outline of the city in the distance, although it was not as majestic as Chang'an, but it was also a big city that could rank among the top few in the world.

Ning Que became a lot more cautious, made some modifications to his appearance, restrained his mental power, and perfectly covered the sea of snow-capped mountains with Haoran Qi before he walked on the official road.

He waited on the official road for a long time, found the convoy of the king's mansion, quietly put the knife and arrow into the truck, and then followed the convoy far into the city.

The reason why he is so cautious is not because this is Linkang, the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, there are many masters in the city, and there are still formations attached to the city wall, but because there is a lonely mountain not far from the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.

The Sword Pavilion was in that mountain-Ning Que was very confident in his current realm strength, but he didn't think that he could hold on to it for a moment under the Liu Bai Sword.

Following the convoy into Linkang City, and when he got to a secluded place, he retrieved the iron knife and arrow from the truck, and the whole process was so simple that no one noticed it.

According to the original plan, he planned to stay in Linkang City for two days to feel the people and things here and see if it would help his practice, and then he was going to leave.

Since he was going to Hongchen again to find opportunities, to feel the breath and power of the world, he naturally had to contact with ordinary people, so he went directly to Dongcheng, the same as Chang'an, Linkang's Dongcheng also lived the poorest people, and the poorest is the most ordinary, because poverty is always the norm in the world.

Before entering Linkang East City, he made some mental preparations, but when he crossed the straight and rich royal street, and entered the small alley, he still found that his mental preparation was not sufficient-he thought that he had lived in Chang'an East City for many years, and he had long been accustomed to poverty, and Linkang was the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he did not expect that the poverty here was still beyond his imagination.

The streets are already extremely narrow, and most of the area is taken up by the inhabitants of the tents, which is extremely crowded, and it is difficult for anyone to walk through them without constantly dodging the protruding iron sheets and guarding against the urine spilled by the people in the tents.

Ning Que stepped on the old bricks in the sewage, struggling to move forward in the foul air and noisy scolding, when he suddenly smelled a somewhat greasy smell coming from the side, turned his head to look, and saw a ragged woman holding a piece of meat skin in her hand, vigorously wiping the hot iron pot.

A few shirtless little boys, covered in mud, stood by the iron pot and waited, their little hands clutching the broken bowls, and their eyes shining.

After a while, the old cloth was lifted, and a girl walked out with her pants on, with no shyness on her face but annoyance, and shouted at the little boys: "Is this what you eat?

Ning Que looked at this scene, and after a moment of silence, he continued to walk towards the depths of the dilapidated streets and alleys. He had seen a picture that was far darker than the sadness in front of him, but since he arrived in Weicheng, in fact, he had not experienced such a life for many years, at least in Chang'an City, he would never see this.

He walked very slowly, because the streets were narrow, and because he wanted to see more, so he squatted not far from a well at the corner of the street, and watched the women do their laundry, and found that they basically did not use soap powder, that is, they rarely used the laundry mallet that was resting beside them, but kept rubbing them with their white hands. A noisy chatter sounded behind him, and he got up to give way, and the girl he had seen before came over with a rice bowl, which was relatively intact, and the porcelain was still colored, and it contained large white rice, and the rice was covered with green vegetables, and even two pieces of oil residue could be seen.

The little boys, who were supposed to be her younger brothers, followed her excitedly, raising their arms from time to time to wipe their noses, probably thinking that they should be able to grab a few bites from that rice bowl after a while.

Ning Que thought about it and followed.

In the deepest part of this dilapidated city, there was one of the most dilapidated houses, and the girl brought her brothers to the front of the house, only to find that the front of the house was already full of children like them, all with rice bowls in their hands.

The younger brother stood on tiptoe, looked at the rice bowl in the hands of other children, turned to her and shouted: "Sister, Zheng Lili's family actually made braised pork!

The little boy's expression was extremely exaggerated, his hands were dancing, and his face was full of incredible shock, as if he had seen the most ridiculous thing in the world.

The girl listened to her brother's return, her face became extremely ugly, she pushed away the crowd and squeezed in, looked at a girl of the same age who was relatively better dressed, and said loudly: "It's my turn to cook at home today!"

Then she looked at the children with rice bowls in front of the broken house, and said with round eyes: "My turn is my house, whoever dares to rob me, I will go and burn his house at night!"

There were more than a dozen children who came to deliver rice with rice bowls, some of whom were obviously older than her, but when they heard this, they were afraid and subconsciously retreated.

The girl her age was not afraid of her, and took two steps forward.

The reason why this is so is because there are five thick pieces of braised pork in her rice bowl, so her face is shining with pride, just like braised pork, and she says: "Just these few rotten vegetable leaves in your house, how can you let the teacher eat enough? If the teacher is not full, how can he have the spirit to teach us?"

The girl's younger brother whispered next to her, "Yes, sister, why don't you let the teacher eat braised pork, let's divide this bowl of white rice, okay?"

The girl squeezed the boy away with a crutch of elbows and walked over to the girl with the braised pork.

She usually couldn't get used to this proud companion who relied on the seventh sister to marry the rice shop guy, and at this time, looking at the cheap flower belt tied on her head, she was even more annoyed, and said: "Zheng Lili, you shameless fox, are you sending food to the teacher or seducing a man?"

Zheng Lili's angry little face was red, and she was not good at scolding, her hands began to tremble, but she was afraid that the braised pork in the bowl would fall to the ground, so she didn't dare to tear the girl's mouth.

The girl snorted coldly at her, raised her head and raised her small breasts, which were obviously not fully developed, like a victorious hen, and walked towards the broken house with green vegetables and rice. Walking to the dilapidated house, her expression suddenly became extremely deferential, and she said softly, "Teacher, the meal is here." ”

I could only hear a creaking sound, and the broken door of the broken house was pushed open from the inside, and the sound gave people the feeling that the door panel could fall at any moment.

A man came out of the dilapidated house.

The man's eyebrows and eyes are extremely clear, he is wearing a thin cloth shirt without a collar, his black hair is casually combed into a bun, and a chopstick is inserted on it, and his expression is quiet and natural.

He looked at the children outside the house with rice bowls, looked at the hopeful expressions on the children's faces, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Go back and tell your parents, I said in advance that the family will eat in turn, if you still insist on this, then I have to leave here." ”

Hearing the man say that he was going to leave here, the children seemed to have heard the most terrible thing, and quickly took the rice bowl that they had held high in their arms, not knowing what to do next. Naturally, all the children looked at Zheng Lili because of the food sent by her family...... There is braised pork.

The man smiled slightly, took the green vegetable rice from the girl in front of the door, picked up chopsticks by the window separated by the waste bricks, squatted at the door and began to eat.

The girl stood proudly beside him, her little hands behind her back, and she looked very proud.

The man looked at the children and refused to go home, and said with a wry smile: "What are you doing in a daze? Eat the food in your bowl quickly, and the class will start in a while." ”

Hearing this, the children looked at each other, and then let out a burst of cheers, knowing that the food in their hands was much better than usual, and they had been hungry for a long time.

Only Zheng Lili didn't eat the rice in her own bowl, she walked up to the man, looked at him with teary eyes, and said, "Teacher, you can eat a piece of meat, you can eat a piece." ”

The man smiled helplessly, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork in her bowl.

Zheng Lili suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and ran home with a rice bowl, she also has a younger brother at home, and she doesn't dare to eat it secretly like braised pork.

The man smiled and said, "Class is going to be in a while." ”

"I won't forget it. Zheng Lili said with a smile, bouncing away, the red hairband tied in her hair was so cute and cute.

The girl standing behind the man was clutching the corner of her clothes and pouting, a little envious, but she had seen it when she went to the market, and the red headband cost two pennies, which she could not afford.

The man glanced at her and whispered, "The teacher secretly bought it for you." ”

The girl smiled happily and nodded...... Ning Que stood outside the crowd.

He looked at the dilapidated house, at the children who came to deliver food, at the man who came out of the dilapidated house, and felt extremely shocked in his heart.

He had seen this man, and at that time, the cold wind in the Hulan Sea was howling, and countless strong people gathered, even the senior brother could not completely hide the brilliance of this man.

Whether this man appeared in the Xiling Shrine or the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, the Worldly Palace or the Langke Ancient Temple, he was so proud, because he was the Taoist Sect and the world walked Ye Su.

However, now he is hiding in the dilapidated house in Linkang East City, but he is so calm, so ordinary, as if he has lived here for many years.

What's going on?

At this moment, violent shouts and whips suddenly came from outside the crowd.

A priest, protected by more than a dozen guards, walked to the front of the old house. The priest looked at Ye Su, who was holding a rice bowl, and asked in a cold voice, "Who allowed you to teach here?"
