Chapter 14: Appearing
Zhou Yan was on the riverside with Li County.
As early as noon, the sun is in full bloom, the sun dispels the river fog, and the river surface is unobstructed.
The two of them looked far away, looking at the water of the Peijiang River, the vast soup, and the east flowing into the sea.
"A hundred years of life, thousands of years of rivers, looking at it today, there are no longer the ancients." After being silent for a long time, Li Xian sighed.
"The so-called deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night." Zhou Yan sighed in unison, "In the face of time, we human beings are still too small. ”
"The deceased is like a husband?" Li Xian's eyes flashed, and he muttered a few times, and suddenly stroked his palms and praised, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
After three consecutive sounds, he turned to look at Zhou Yan, and praised again: "This kind of insight is close to the avenue!" Zhou Yan, you are really extraordinary! ”
"Adults praise falsely, just pick up people's teeth." Zhou Yan was embarrassed, being looked at like this by a middle-aged man, he was somewhat indescribably awkward.
Although he cheekily teased Ah Qi with famous sentences before, it was only about Fengyue, just like copying love letters on the Internet in his previous life, it was mostly fun, not ashamed. But at this time, in front of the boss, it would be a bit shameless to brazenly steal the master's philosophical words.
"Pick up people's teeth?" Li Chengfeng sighed lightly and frowned slightly, thinking that he was recalling the classics he had read.
"Although this official has not studied for a long time due to official duties, he has read it in the past and has never seen this sentence." He glanced at Zhou Yan meaningfully and said firmly.
It's not that he has read the classics of the world, but such a sentence is really exquisite, and if it was issued by his predecessors, it would definitely be in the books and passed down for thousands of years.
Zhou Yan was speechless for a while, to be honest, he really had no intention of plundering the beauty of others for himself. Even in the face of Ah Qi, it is because through a mirror, subconsciously as if he was blowing on the Internet in his previous life, so he is more unrestrained.
But although he wanted to clarify, the county commander was so knowledgeable that he could tell that this sentence was not passed on in the world, and it seemed that he had to put it on himself.
Yes, Ann is safe, there is really no way to explain it forcibly, and you can't reveal that you are the soul of the other world that Li Zhuang of the Tao Dynasty has crossed over.
As long as the other party is not kind enough to help him go out and make a name.
So he gave a soft "um" and stopped arguing.
"The deceased is like a husband, never waiting for anyone." Seeing that he was silent, Li Xian acquiesced, and sighed again.
"Isn't it just to catch up with this rushing river a little bit when I am refining qi?" Zhou Yan took over the conversation and asked rhetorically.
It is precisely because he is a person who has died once that he can feel the preciousness of life even more, and he wants to cultivate immortals and seek immortality.
"Yes, a little more life, catch up with this river." Li Chengfeng nodded, and suddenly changed the conversation, "But do we really have that much time?" ”
Zhou Yan was woken up by his words, and now the evil people are on the side, eyeing each other, can they really be safe and sound this time?
"My lord, do you find it difficult too?" He had deduced earlier that the enemy in the shadows was stronger than Li County, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, if his guess was wrong.
But now looking at the meaning of Li County, nine times out of ten he is consciously invincible to evil people.
It seems that he can only wait for the rescue soldiers brought by the king's head, he thought secretly.
It's just that the king's head will come and go, at least the day after tomorrow to arrive, and whether they can survive tonight is still undecided.
Li Xian stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, "Whether it's difficult or not, it depends on tonight." ”
Of course, this is not a good sign, but it has come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time.
Maybe there is hope, such as Ah Qi's life-saving mantra?
Zhou Yan thought of this for no reason, and then chuckled.
I have to say that whether this mantra can save my life is not to be talked about first, but it can indeed relieve the nervous mood.
"Why are you laughing?" Li Chengfeng's five senses were extremely keen, and he almost immediately noticed his smile, and asked curiously.
He knew that the other party was a smart person, as long as he was a smart person, he would definitely be able to see that the current situation was almost dead, how could he still laugh.
If it is said that life and death are downplayed, Zhou Yan is obviously only in his early twenties, where does he come from such a state of mind.
"Something funny comes to mind." The corners of Zhou Yan's mouth raised slightly, and he didn't hide it.
"How funny?" Li County's interest was hooked at once.
Zhou Yan thought about it carefully, and planned to tell him after a little adaptation.
"So that my lord may know that before the humble duty came yesterday, I met a soldier and stopped me and said that I would have a bloody disaster." After changing the main character, he spoke eloquently.
"When I heard it, I was a little scared, so I asked if there was a solution."
The Taoist priest didn't speak, only pinched his fingers, so I handed over ten cents.
"Ten pennies to buy a life, although it is a lot of money, but it is inevitable to fall into contempt." Li County teased.
"I can't help it, that's all I have left at that time." Zhou Yan said nonsense in a serious manner, and then continued, "That Taoist priest took the money, pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated, sir, guess what method he gave me in the end?" ”
"It is nothing more than that you should seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and act cautiously." Li Chengfeng naturally knew the methods of charlatans, and brushed his long hair.
"Your Excellency, that's a mistake." Zhou Yan said with a smile, "That Taoist passed me four words, saying what is the life-saving formula, and if you read it at the moment of crisis, you can turn the crisis into peace and turn the danger into a disaster." ”
This is a novel statement, Li Xian is even more curious, and asks: "Which four words?" How miraculous is it? ”
"Immortal Chief, save me."
Li Xian listened, and at first he thought he was joking, but he looked serious on his face, thought about it for a while, and then stroked his palm and praised: "This Taoist priest is a wonderful person, you believe it?" ”
"Of course I didn't believe it, I pulled his cuffs and asked him to return the money, but of course he refused to return it, so they were at a stalemate." Zhou Yan found that he had a talent for storytelling.
"It's like a scoundrel." Li County commented.
"My lord was right, so I wanted to teach him a lesson, so I told him that I also had a life-saving mantra to protect him from flesh and skin."
"You have a mantra too?" Li County found the story more and more interesting.
"The Taoist priest also asked the same thing, I don't like him, I have to collect money before I say it, and I will tell him immediately."
"What's your mantra?"
"A good man spares his life." Zhou Yan himself was laughed at by the story he made up, and he continued, "Then I rolled up my sleeves and rubbed my hands. ”
Li Xian understood, took over the conversation and said: "It seems that you are going to beat this Taoist priest, so in this way, your life-saving mantra is really useful." ”
Zhou Yan shook his head and said in a long voice: "Definitely." ”
"Why?" Li Chengfeng was puzzled.
"If he doesn't pay back the ten cents, it's useless to just have a formula." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"In this case, you need to do both ways." Li Xian understood, smiled, and after laughing, he looked at his subordinate again.
After a long time, he nodded, "Zhou Yan, you are a little catcher in Yushi County, if you can get out safely this time, go to Wangjiang." ”
Zhou Yan's heart moved slightly, is Li County arranging a way back for himself? Then he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
"Don't be busy thanking you first, everything has to be seen tonight first." Li Xian turned around again and looked fixedly at the river.
Zhou Yan also stopped speaking and stood silently beside him.
The two of them stood until the moon and the middle of the sky, and their footsteps did not move slightly, like two statues.
In this process, Zhou Yan plucked up his aura throughout the whole process, urging his ears and eyes to the limit, in order not to let go of any wind and grass.
Finally, in front of them, on the surface of the river not far from the shore, there was no wind and a ripple of its own.
The ripples were undetectable, pushing to the banks of the river at a very slow pace.
At the same time as touching the shore, Li County spoke up proudly: "Conspiracy and treachery, dare to disturb my people?" ”
As soon as the sound came out, there was a heroic righteousness rushing up at night, the blue light was shining, shining brightly around, and the river was sparkling.
