Chapter 117: Folk Tales (2-in-1)

Hear the words.

Feng Bei frowned and looked at Zheng Shan.

She knows the details of Zheng Shan.

He could never be Zheng Xiu.

But Zheng Shan, a master of art, is bold, and he wants to pretend to be Zheng Xiu, the richest man in the flowers.

Si Youqing's words were obviously suspicious.

I haven't seen him for a few years, what does Zheng Xiu have to eat to grow into the current appearance of Zheng Shan?

Zheng Xiu smiled and walked a few steps closer: "Uncle Qing, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are getting more and more funny." ”

"Slow! Tell me what you ate! ”

"Uh... I often eat some sea cucumber deer antler velvet, pink lotus root lotus seeds, and chrysanthemum fungus. ”

Si Youqing was stunned, but silently wrote it down. Seeing Meng Nan approaching, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, raised his head a little stiffly, looked up at Meng Nan's face, and had more doubts on his face: "You, are you really Zheng Xian's nephew?" ”

He didn't believe it.

It's outrageous.

Although the faces of the two are similar, the facial features are almost printed in the same mold.

But in terms of temperament and physique, it is still too outrageous.

Zheng Xiu raised his face and lowered his voice: "Uncle Qing, if you say that, the little nephew will not be happy." The little nephew still remembers that back then, Uncle Qing was old and strong, taking the sky as the quilt, taking the horse as the seat, the mandarin duck riding a horse, the phoenix upside down, the horse's hooves kicking, and the mandarin duck snapping......"

Si You's youth played quite open when he was young.

Zheng Xiu inadvertently learned that Si Youqing was in love with "Ma Zhen".

Si Youqing has a good foundation, so he likes to challenge high difficulties. Somehow, I became obsessed with horseback riding with a roll and took off on the horse.

The faster the horse runs, the higher he and the curler fly.

And not just once.

Later, Zheng Xiu joked about Yu Si Youqing's incident, and the latter's old face couldn't hold back and he was angry. So Zheng Xiu vowed never to spread it.

"Xiaoxiu is here?"

At this time, a lady who was over forty years old, with a slightly fat body and luxurious clothes walked out from behind the screen, this was Si Youqing's wife.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Don't say too much about the virtuous nephew! I haven't seen him for a few years, and Uncle Qing misses it very much! It's all in plain sight! ”

With a snap, Si Youqing held Meng Nan's hands tightly, with tears in his eyes, and he held it tightly.

Feng Bei was stunned, his mouth opened slightly, and he forgot to close it.

She vaguely heard what was riding and the hooves of horses.

After talking about riding a horse and a horse's hooves, they wept and recognized each other.

This...... What the situation.

The tea fragrance in the hall is overflowing, and Si Youqing brews the good tea he treasures.

After a few words of homely talk, Zheng Xiu quickly said what he intended in the future and cut to the chase.

"You're looking for someone called 'Flower Monk'?"

When Si Youqing heard this, his face turned straight, and then he turned his gaze on Feng Bei, who was silent on the side.

"Virtuous nephew, I just wanted to ask, why are you with ...... now? Walking together at night? ”

When he entered the door, Si Youqing noticed Fengbei's uniform.

Black clothes, cloud sleeves, moon patterns, this is not only Ye Weiyang, but also one of the most noble December in Ye Weiyang.

Only then did Fengbei introduce himself, hugged his fists and said: "Ye Weiyang, the third wind, Fengbei, I have seen Uncle Qing." ”

"Fengbei! That Fengbei?! ”

When Si Youqing heard this, his face turned pale with shock, he suddenly stood up, straightened his old waist with a snap, and was stunned for a long time before he sat down again little by little, and asked again in an extremely dignified tone: "That...... Fengbei? ”

Si Youqing's startled reaction was not strange in Feng Bei's eyes.

Most of the people who have heard her name over the years have reacted in this way.

She is too famous in the circle.

Feng Bei said calmly: "Yes." ”

"What the hell is this ......?"

Si Youqing looked at Zheng Xiu in disbelief.

Zheng Xiu smiled: "Don't be nervous, Uncle Qing. Fengbei now has a great relationship with the Zheng family. But the entanglement is difficult to explain in three words. I also ask Uncle Qing to mobilize all the connections in Shuzhou and find a person named Monk Hua for me. After a little thought, Zheng Xiu added:

"And, a painting."

Zheng's richest man has to give face.

Si Youqing readily agreed.

Isn't it just looking for people?

In Shuzhou, he really didn't believe that there was nothing that the Zheng family couldn't do.

That night, Si Youqing and his wife warmly welcomed the two to stay and eat.

At the table, the atmosphere was warm.

At the beginning, because of Fengbei, Si Youqing and his wife were a little cramped.

Maybe it's because Fengbei is notorious.

But as they ate, they found that this girl was actually very restrained, and not as ferocious as the legend suggests.

Fengbei put vegetables in Zheng Shan's bowl from time to time.

After clipping, bow your head and pick up your own.

Si Youqing and his wife glanced at each other, and they both saw irrepressible shock in their respective eyes.

Si Youqing frequently gave a thumbs up to Meng Nan in his heart.

It is worthy of being the richest man in Zheng, the richest man in Zheng.

Won such a difficult girl!

This feat seems to surpass his kung fu of Ma Zhen back then.

After getting drunk, Zheng Xiu and Fengbei stayed at Si's house.

This stay is just a few days.

Si Youqing thought that with the Zheng Chamber of Commerce's connections in Shuzhou, he would find a flower monk, but he couldn't get it.

But after checking it out in the past few days, he realized that things were not as simple as he imagined.

There are many ascetics in Shuzhou, and most of them will be named in a certain temple.

Just look at the roster and you can find a certain dervishe.

But it took a few days, Si Youqing asked people to check the roster of every temple in Shuzhou, and there was not a single ascetic named "Flower Monk".

While waiting for a message.

Zheng Xiu and Fengbei were not idle.

Zheng Xiu found an excuse to return to the imperial city. Both ends develop, go hand in hand.

Time management, he called second, who dares to dominate.

Inspired by the huge reward, the great writer Simon Bei actually opened three works in a row in a short period of time.

They are "Wealthy Love", "Borrow a Night of Wind from the Sky", and "Evening Breeze on the River".

Zheng Xiuquan bought it back and prepared to copy it.

This time, he decided to let the evil boy copy the trick.

Zheng Xiu felt that he was not careful enough when copying in the past, and did not deeply understand the joys, sorrows and entanglements of the characters in the book.

So, he decided to copy the book along with his own annotations.

Obviously, Simon's magnum opus will bring a huge spiritual impact to readers with normal spirits.

But in order to get a glimpse of the doorway, Zheng Xiu also let it go.

Men, you should be yourself.

Other than that.

The door to the Mengnan painter is in-depth.

It took a few days to transport a hundred-year-old boxwood from the old forest in the northeast day and night, and it was finally delivered and stood in Zheng Xiu's study.

The boxwood embryo is about seven feet high, and it is half hugged by one person, and it is placed in the study, like a top beam, which is particularly eye-catching.

After Zheng Xiu ordered everyone not to spy on his study, Mengnan Zheng Shan appeared in the study, holding a carving knife in his hand, standing in front of the boxwood embryo, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes, motionless, and stood for a few cups of tea before the first knife fell.

It takes many, many hours to carve this boxwood embryo.

But Zheng Xiu was not in a hurry.

He decided to take his time.

He had a vague feeling that when he actually completed this "work", he would take an extraordinary step in the path of the painter.

……

Inside the Imperial City.

Recently, a folk legend has quietly circulated among the people.

There are all kinds of strange theories, and there are no strange theories.

Some people say that there are two soul-bound envoys who come and go at night, detain the wicked, pull them into the infernal purgatory, whip and punish, so that the wicked will never be reborn.

Some people also say that this infernal purgatory is in the abyss under the imperial city, and there is a raging karmic fire burning inside, and millions of resentful souls wander back.

Some people also say that there is a "caretaker" in this Infernal Purgatory, who is ten thousand feet tall, like a mountain, with three heads and six arms, each head has nine blood-red eyes, and has a large mouth comparable to the sun and the moon, and the big mouth is full of sharp teeth and grinding wheels.

With one mouth, the caretaker can swallow the mountains, rivers, sun and moon, making the heavens and the earth dark, the mountains collapsing, and the rivers intercepting.

Someone cautiously said that in the depths of the Infernal Purgatory, there is a vicious "big devil", and the prison where the "big devil" is locked up, half soaked in volcanic lava, half bathed in a 10,000-year-old glacier, which can be called the two heavens of ice and fire.

Some scoff at these strange claims, after all, the legends that circulate vary from year to year. Some couples use these brand-new legends to educate their children, saying that you should not be disobedient, don't wander around at night, don't steal, don't be greedy, and don't disobey your father, otherwise you will be arrested and sent to the infernal purgatory, where you will pull out your tongue and burn your buttocks.

Six doors.

Guo Zifei, as the first god catcher, naturally scoffed at these folk tales.

The foolish people are ignorant, and they speak falsely and are confused.

He didn't believe it.

The sky is bright and the sky is white, where are there so many demons and monsters?

If there is, it is only thaumaturgists who make trouble.

Guo Zifei is the first god in the imperial city.

At the same time, as a newcomer who has just gotten a glimpse of the path, he should be loyal and dutiful in his own position, bigger and stronger.

In this way, the performance has gone up, the money has improved, the hope of promotion and salary increase has been there, and the door can be deepened, and finally joined Ye Weiyang, became a star in a blink of an eye, and then ascended to December in a blink of an eye, step by step to the peak of life, married a rich family, and became a big winner.

But what made him extremely depressed was that this folk folk tale inexplicably made the security in the city several times better.

Zheng's beating husband was unattended.

The neighborhood is cautious.

Street hooligans are polite.

No one causes trouble, where is the right and wrong? There is no right and wrong, where does the eucalyptus come from? Without eucalyptus, how can he go deep into the doorway?

Stuck in an endless loop.

He was even hesitating whether to visit the Zheng family, give some gifts, let Master Zheng give some performance, and let the Zheng family do the work.

As the saying goes, only when you lose do you know how to cherish it, and the security of this imperial city has only been good for a few days, Guo Zifei has begun to miss the busy and trivial days of the past.

Eucalyptus is also eucalyptus!

Shangxi City took out a few valuable antiques, Guo Zifei packed up and prepared to go out, and a suspicious figure staggered into the six doors.

"Boss, boss, someone has reported it!"

Guo Zifei came to his senses, put down the gift box in his hand, and hurriedly said, "What eucalyptus?" ”

"It's a guy from Swamp State, and he says he has eucalyptus to report."

Guo Zifei soon saw the "newspaper man".

It was the fourth master Rong who reported it.

As soon as Guo Zifei looked at people, he chuckled in his heart. I saw that the visitor was sloppy, with deep eye sockets, and wandering eyes, not like a normal person.

"Don't catch me, don't catch me...... I knew I was wrong...... I know ...... wrong."

He curled up in a corner of the hall, his hands clasped on his knees, looking left and right, and when he heard footsteps, he looked up with trepidation, his eyes full of horror.

"You want to report it?"

Guo Zifei frowned and stepped forward to ask.

"Yes, sir, I want to report it, I want to report it! I killed someone! I killed someone! Get me there! Grab it! ”

Rong Si's face was full of snot and tears, and as soon as he saw Guo Zifei, he threw himself on Guo Zifei.

Guo Zifei easily dodged away, and the other party's expression and actions were full of strange flavors.

"You killed someone?"

"Yes...... Hey...... Woowoo...... Hee-hee-hee-hee...... I killed someone, a family of four, I killed, and all the fires burned down! Rong Si cried and laughed, and frantically reported his crime.

"You killed someone? Report it yourself? Guo Zifei glared, is there still such a conscious person in the world? But the other party's look he knew at a glance that he was talking nonsense, obviously a madman, coming to the yamen to make trouble, this kind of person he has seen a lot in his long career of catching fast, how can a very vicious person find out with a conscience and throw himself into the net?

That's impossible.

So Guo Zifei looked at the other party with a keen eye, had a plan in his heart, and asked, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"Hey, hey, I'm the proof, woo woo, catch me, ah, I don't dare, don't, don't burn me, don't cook me, woo, I'm ground into powder, ah, don't cut me, ah, adult, I don't dare!"

Rong Si's tone became more and more incoherent, and his head swayed more and more.

"Among the six doors, where can you let a madman run wild! Without evidence and no evidence, you dare to spew blood! Guo Zifei felt that something was wrong as soon as he spoke, his mouth was closed, and the other party's blood was sprayed by himself, he couldn't think of any sentences for a while, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Where to go back and forth, roar at the Yamen, ignore the law and discipline, this arrest really arrests you!" ”

"Catch me! Catch me! ”

Rong Si took the initiative to raise his hand.

Guo Zifei didn't want to arrest people casually. He has his rules.

There is a price to pay for catching the wrong person.

A few happy catchers who were watching the play with their hands crossed on the side looked at the joke, and it was not until Guo Zifei made a look that they straightened their scabbards and prepared to drive the madman out.

Unexpectedly, Rong Si suddenly swooped, his figure flashed, climbed up to the ceiling along the door beam, and hung upside down on the beam like a spider, making a strange sound of crying and laughing.

Guo Zifei was stunned.

This crazy guy turned out to be a thaumaturgist!

……

Thirty-three years of Zun'an.

January 20.

Shuzhou.

The day is gloomy. At first, a thin cloud covered Echingo-gun, and it snowed lightly. But when the snow fell, it turned into rain, and the rain carried hail and fell on the roofs of every house.

Wow!

In the blink of an eye, there were many people strolling on the street with paper umbrellas, because the paper umbrellas were smashed alive, panicked and hid under the eaves, and soon returned to their respective homes, leaving only three or two figures on the streets of the city, and dogs scurrying in the rain from time to time.

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Phewβ€”"

Two horses, coming from the west, entered Yizhong County.

The horse stopped at the post station, and the two of them turned over and dismounted, shook their clothes, and shook off the wind and frost all over the road.

"Go find the three of them!"

Raven lifts into the air and leads the way for the two.

Soon after.

The raven lingered over the walls of Si's house, refusing to enter.

Won't fly? Just don't fly.

Just wondering why the three major people of Shangfeng would stay here, Yueyan could only honestly report to her home.

When the doorman heard that it was Ye Weiyang, he invited them in without saying a word, and took them all the way to the courtyard.

The courtyard lake ripples in the rain, and there is a pavilion at the end of the promenade on the shore.

Under the Yating, a man and a girl in black talked eloquently in the rain before the flowers, the wind and snow.

There is a small round stone table between the two, and the small stone table is covered with rice paper, and there are a few on one side, and there are several pen, ink and jade inkstones.

Meng Nan holds the pen and draws while talking.

"Last time, I said that Li Xiaoyao was wrong for life when he saw Xiaolongnu."

"The little dragon girl has lived alone in the mountains since she was a child, lonely and miserable. One day practicing boxing under the waterfall, his clothes were soaked, looming, Li Xiaoyao mistakenly entered the Valley of the Wicked and bumped into the little dragon girl who was practicing boxing. I saw Xiaolongnu punching the waterfall, startling Li Xiaoyao, who was secretly peeping, into a cold sweat. ”

"Looking back, the little dragon girl is also a deer, she doesn't know why, she just knows that the young man's simple face makes her hot."

"Li Xiaoyao saw that the other party was menacing, and immediately pulled out his sword and shouted, 'The demon is quickly revealed'!"

While talking, I saw Meng Nan painting the rice paper on the stone table, using a few simple strokes to sketch a sketch of "the dragon girl is wet and the waterfall is broken, and the young man is angry and draws the big sword".

[The experience of Danqing painting is worth a little improvement. 】

Zheng Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

When Yueyan and Dou Qi approached, they happened to see Feng Bei treating him like a baby, carefully blowing a few mouthfuls of hot air on Zheng Xiu's painting that had not dried his ink, drying the painting, folding it squarely, and putting it into his arms.

The two were dumbfounded.

Zheng Xiu put down his paintbrush and turned back with a smile: "You guys are finally here." ”

Yueyan ignored him, but pointed at the two with trembling fingers, her eyes hooked, and her face was full of suspicion.

"You ...... What are you doing? ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that the atmosphere of the two just now,

Wrong.
