Chapter 213, Scooping Up the Corpse
Mi Jinghua's feelings for Li Chengjing are not love, but more respect and attachment.
Due to the vision of her birth, Mi Jinghua has hardly felt real care since she was a child, and even her parents' upbringing of her is not out of fatherly love and mother's love, but a kind of task.
The appearance of Li Chengjing gave Mi Jinghua a rare person to confide in, and even found a feeling of reliance from Li Chengjing, like a teacher and a brother.
Now that Li Chengjing is leaving, Mi Jinghua will inevitably have a kind of trepidation and fear in her heart that she doesn't know about the future.
But how to say it, Mi Jinghua has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and quickly adjusted, and said goodbye to Li Chengjing outside the palace in Shangyu County.
From this time on, Mi Jinghua is no longer the daughter of the Mi family, but a show girl in the Daqing Palace.
After thanking Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Sect Xuanxiu, and Xiao Daolong, they finally came to Li Chengjing's side, Ying Ying bowed, and said: "Along the way, thank you Mr. for explaining and teaching." It's just that as soon as I enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and I don't know if I will be able to see Mr. again in the future and listen to Mr. again. ”
Li Chengjing said with a smile: "Miss Mi doesn't need to be so melancholy, maybe this day will be soon." The palace is strict, and Li can't give Miss anything, so as not to help you and hurt you, so he can only give Miss a paragraph at the time of parting. ”
Mi Jinghua Zhengse said: "Jinghua listens to you. ”
"Sniper Gong Fu Qi, said: Three in the morning and four in the twilight. The snipers were furious. Said: Then the four and the twilight three, all the snipers are happy. The name is not lost, and the joy and anger are used, and it is also. It is to take the saint and the right and wrong, and the rest of the heavens, yes is said to be two lines. ”
Mi Jinghua listened carefully, and she quickly remembered that Li Chengjing's words came from a passage in the Taoist "Lao Zhuang".
It's just that I read this book a long time ago, and now that I suddenly think about it, it's hard to immediately recall what this passage meant.
Li Chengjing didn't answer, smiled and said goodbye.
Seeing Mi Jinghua being taken into the palace by the eunuch palace maid, Li Chengjing turned to look at the people of Donglin Sect and Xiao Daolong and others.
"Since the daughter of the Mi family has been sent to the palace, and she has been blessed by your predecessors, so that you can be loyal to people, then I will say goodbye to you here!"
Qian Qianyi nodded with a smile, and asked very sincerely: "Mr. Li is sure not to think about it, although my Donglin Sect is not a first-class sect on the mountain, it is also a little famous on the mountain, if you can enter my sect, it will definitely not be a ruin to Mr.'s future." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Daolong and the three of them immediately looked at Li Chengjing with very envious eyes, and they couldn't wait to agree for Li Chengjing immediately.
"Thank you for the love of your predecessors, Li really doesn't have the heart to practice, so I can only be ashamed of my love for my predecessors!"
Qian Qianyi, Mo Yunchao sighed when they heard this.
Although it is said that as long as there is no problem with the brain, everyone can enter the cultivation, but the Fa is not passed on lightly, and it is really too difficult to find a disciple who is in line with the purpose of his own sect in every aspect.
It's hard to meet one, but the other party is unwilling to enter their sect, which is inevitably a pity.
Bidding farewell to Qian Qianyi and others, Li Chengjing left alone and in style.
Xiao Daolong and the others saw that Qian Qianyi and the others did not mean to invite them, so they took Mi Jinghua's maid and old mother to say goodbye and leave.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Liu Dehui frowned and asked: "Uncle Shi, although this Li Changming was recommended to you by the two disciples, but along the way, you have also invited him several times, is the other party's qualifications really so good that you are so favored?" ”
Mo Yunchao and Qian Qianyi glanced at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
Mo Yunchao said with a smile: "You are not good enough, so let's not talk about Li Changming's qualifications for the time being, but the understanding of Taoist essence is definitely not very human, and now that Taoism is declining, it is difficult to meet such a gentleman who is a master of Taoist knowledge." If you can include it in my sect, maybe hundreds of years later, this person will be able to push the Taoist scriptures of our sect to a higher level, so that our Donglin Sect can also enter the ranks of the great sects. It's a pity that the other party's ambition is not here. ”
Now Li Chengjing, who is alone, has nothing to do and is light.
He did not set off immediately, but like a scholar who was playing, he visited all the places of interest in Shangyu County, and tasted a lot of food and wine.
Only then did I slowly purchase a high-quality comfortable carriage and easy-to-store dry food before I hit the road again.
Li Chengjing believes that practicing for immortality is only a process of life, not an end.
The purpose of seeking immortality is to be able to enjoy the true meaning of the Tao and the true self.
If you forget the purpose and treat the process as the goal, you are putting the cart before the horse.
Therefore, although Li Chengjing has not cultivated for a long time, he is still not in a hurry.
Because the road was so long, he did not look for a driver, but drove alone, walking slowly and leisurely on the official road.
Unlike the previous purposeless, Li Chengjing's goal this time is very clear, that is, the border towns between Qing and Yan are also the destination of the old ghost who would rather not be reincarnated and wait for his lover to return even if he is dead.
To be honest, Li Chengjing is still very curious about what this old ghost will look like when he sees his lover who can't be forgotten even if he dies.
A few days after leaving Shangyu County, Liu Sangu came again, accompanied by her, there was also a man dressed like a martial arts hero, after Liu Sangu's introduction, Li Chengjing learned his name, very domineering, called Huang Feihu.
Li Chengjing has some impressions of this person, but not much.
"Next, we will intercept and kill Qian Qianyi, and then I will take my eldest brother back to Lao Linzi, and ask King Grief to treat my eldest brother, and then Huang Feihu will contact you."
Li Chengjing nodded, and didn't ask other questions, as for whether the other party was sure to kill Qian Qianyi, Li Chengjing didn't care.
Success or not, what does it have to do with him.
"King Grief agrees with your opinion, and then our old Linzi's disciples will walk all over Daqing, kill demons and demons for the people, and get rid of evil spirits, and they are not asking the government to agree to our opening of a hall."
Li Chengjing was very satisfied with their attitude, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll leave the rest to me!" ”
Liu Sangu left satisfied.
Li Cheng looked at Huang Feihu in surprise and asked, "You're not leaving?" ”
Huang Feihu was stunned for a moment and asked, "You want me to go?" ”
Li Chengjing rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, are you a little aware of being a monster?" You are a monster, walk beside me, if you are discovered by the sect Xuanxiu on the mountain, do you want to be killed by the demon with me? ”
Huang Feihu was furious: "I see who has this ability!" ”
Li Chengjing sighed and said, "It's not a matter of ability, it's just a matter of ability. My destination this time is Yizi City in the Upper Evil County, where we can meet. When the time comes, don't come to me directly, just let the disciple who sat down come to see me. I'll have arrangements for you when the time comes! ”
Huang Feihu snorted, seemingly unconvinced.
But thinking of King Sadness's order, Huang Feihu could only nod and agree to leave.
Over the next few months, Li Chengjing crossed the Lujiang River, crossed the city through the town, and then went down the Fujiang River, until he finally reached Huaishui, a branch of the Fujiang River, in the spring of the following year.
As long as you take the Huaishui River directly, you can reach the destination this time, which is close to the Yizi City on the bank of the Huaishui River.
Different from Shangyu County in the Jiangnan region, the people of Shangyi County dress very exoticly.
Therefore, the various ethnic groups here live in a serious way, and various cultures are mixed with each other, so that the local architecture, clothing, and food are very different from those in the Central Plains.
Li Chengjing's carriage had already been sold casually when he boarded the Fujiang ferry, and at this moment he directly chartered a canopy boat and went down the water.
The man who set up the boat was an old man, whose eye sockets were deeper than those of the people in the Central Plains, but the bridge of his nose was very soft, and he could see at a glance that the other party was a local Tu.
His official language is not standard, but it does not affect the communication between the two sides.
"There is still half a day's work from Yizi City, if Mr. is not in a hurry, we can stop at Tajiazhai at noon, their village's fragrant fruit grilled fish and fruit stuffed are famous, you must taste it!"
Hearing this, Li Chengjing's eyes lit up and readily agreed.
Although the boatman lives on the water, his craftsmanship really makes Li Chengjing dare not compliment.
It is said that those who beg for a living on the boat are the best at eating fish, but such poor people, where are they willing to buy spices, even if the craftsmanship is good, the taste is not good.
Li Chengjing has lost that freshness after eating it a few times.
Now that I heard that there was something delicious, I immediately agreed.
Soon, the river was lively, and from time to time there were small boats carrying fresh fruits and grains passing by, and after a while, I saw a huge tower built near the water.
Li Chengjing finally understood the meaning of Tazhai Village.
The whole village is made of bamboo, layer by layer, the bamboo building is four or five stories high, and the street where pedestrians walk is also a bamboo ladder built of bamboo, and the flow of people on it is dense, very lively.
However, what is even more lively is the wharf in Tazhai Village, which is full of people standing around the wharf at the moment, all staring at a black canopy boat on the river.
There was a pole on the ship with a black flag on it.
Seeing this flag, the boatman's face became ugly, and he said to Li Chengjing: "Sir, why don't we leave directly, Tazhai Village is not suitable for docking today!" ”
Li Chengjing didn't know why, and asked, "Uncle, why is this?" ”
The boatman pointed to the black flag and said, "Sir, have you seen the boat with the black flag!" ”
Li Chengjing nodded.
"That's the ship of the corpse fisher, it seems that someone has drowned in the dock of Tazhai recently, the corpse is fishing for the corpse, very unlucky, old man, I don't want to let Mr. get involved in this bad thing!"
"Corpse Fisher?" Li Chengjing was stunned.
"Could it be the corpse salvage of one of the nine streams up and down the mountain?"
Thinking of this, Li Chengjing immediately said: "It's okay, it's the first time I've seen a corpse fisher, since I have met it, I want to open my eyes!" ”
When the boatman's husband heard this, he immediately looked at Li Chengjing in surprise and said: "Sir, what's so beautiful about this corpse, this corpse is swollen and swollen, take a look, I can't eat for ten days and half a month, it's really not a strange thing, Mr. still don't want to join in this fun." Besides, there are often people drowning in Huaishui recently, and it's very evil, so don't join in this fun! ”
The old man was bitter, but where would Li Chengjing let go of this opportunity, seeing that Li Chengjing insisted on doing so, the old man could only keep shaking his head and slowly sailing the boat to the dock.
Some people died, but not completely......
