Chapter 277: Fledgling (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Reward)
Let's say that this Li Jing, the word pharmacist, is also a native of Sanyuan in Jingzhao Mansion.
He was originally the Li family in Longxi, but it was a pity that his family was in the middle of the road and made a living by traveling around to study.
Previous years.
When Li Jing traveled at the foot of Huo Mountain.
A Taoist named Lin Zhanran in the mountains happened to pass by, and saw that his bones were amazed and his aura was highlighted, so he accepted him as an apprentice and stayed by his side to teach many karmic arts such as the art of civil and military affairs, Qimen Dunjia, and magical spells.
After 10 years of practice.
Li Jingyicheng went down the mountain.
This time.
With all his skills, he is ready to go to his uncle Han Baohu, and then become an official for the benefit of the party.
But.
He had just descended the mountain when it was already dark.
In desperation, he rested in a mountain village, and prepared to go to Daxing City early the next morning.
However.
It's the middle of the night.
Li Jing was awakened by a rustling sound.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a glowing elk grazing under a tree not far ahead.
See such a divine beast.
Where can Li Jing still care about sleeping?
He jumped to his feet, took his sword, and went to hunt elk.
But.
This elk is very dexterous.
Li Jing chased all the way into the woods at the edge of the village and lost the trace of the elk.
At this time.
The forest is obscure, not only the elk is lost, but he also doesn't know where he is.
But.
Just when he was at a loss.
But I saw the north of the woods, faintly flickering with lights.
Li Jing was happy in his heart, and rushed over to meet the lights.
When he got near.
I saw that this place that emitted the light of the lights was a large house with a steep wall.
See this.
Li Jing straightened his clothes, took a step, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
He knocked for a long time before an old man who looked like a family man opened a crack in the door, showed his head, and asked Li Jing what he meant.
Li Jing arched his hand and said to the old man: "Xiaosheng is a lost person, and I hope that the old man will spend the night for the night."
The old man showed hesitation on his face, and said: "The male masters of the family are all out, only the lady and other female relatives are at home, I'm afraid it can't be allowed." β
When Li Jing heard this, he hurriedly bowed down again, and said, "Wanwang old man, try to get through." β
The old man had no choice but to turn around and go in to report.
Soon, the old man came out with a happy face and said to Li Jing: "Originally, Mrs. Tai was not very willing, but seeing that it was very late, the son got lost again, and finally agreed to let the son stay overnight." Childe, please come with me. β
When Li Jing heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and followed the old man into the house.
After entering the mansion.
Li Jing followed the old man around and into a meeting room.
Soon.
I only heard the sound of ringing.
Followed by.
It was two little maids leading the way, leading a woman over fifty years old slowly.
I saw her green skirt and plain skirt, her demeanor was elegant, and she looked like a scholar, so she thought she was the lady of this house.
When Li Jing saw Mrs. Tai, he hurriedly got up and saluted, thanking him again and again.
Seeing Li Jing's extraordinary bearing, this lady couldn't help nodding slightly, and said: "Originally, it was supposed to be hospitable, but the male in the family had something to go out, so he neglected the distinguished guests, and asked for forgiveness."
Listened to this.
Li Jing hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
Afterwards.
Mrs. Tai ordered her family to prepare dinner for Li Jing and arrange a guest room.
At the same time, she also ordered to bring the guests a bed mattress, which was fragrant and clean, and was very particular.
Li Jing was grateful in his heart and respected this lady more and more.
Unexpectedly.
It didn't take long.
Li Jing, who was lying on the couch just now, was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.
He came to the door and looked out.
I saw that the old man who opened the door for him just now had already welcomed a man in a crimson robe in.
The man said to Mrs. Tai, "The Heavenly Talisman is here. Let your eldest son apply rain, within seven miles of this mountain, it needs to be completed within five watches, without delay, and the rainfall must not be too large. β
Mrs. Tai hurriedly knelt on the ground, received the heavenly talisman, and then sent the man away.
After the man is gone.
Mrs. Tai's face showed a sad expression.
She said to the maid ring beside her: "My two sons are away now. If the time limit is violated, you will be punished, and you will inevitably go to the dragon platform to eat a knife...... Even if I rush to ask my two sons to come back now, I'm afraid I will miss the time, and it won't help...... I intend to let the domestic servants do the rain on my behalf, but the domestic servants don't have the right to do so, what should I do? β
Within the two maid rings, one of them said crisply: "The boy who stayed overnight tonight is dignified and looks like an unusual person, can you ask him for help?"
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she groaned slightly, and then came to Li Jing's bedroom in person and knocked softly.
Li Jing hurriedly opened the door and arched his hand, "What do you want from Mrs. Tai?"
The lady made a thousand blessings, and said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, don't hide it from the son, this is not a human house, but a dragon palace." The eldest son and the second son of the old body both went to the banquet at the Dragon King of the East China Sea and did not return, and they happened to receive the heavenly talisman to ask my eldest son to go to Shi Yu, which is far away from the East China Sea, if you want to inform him, calculate the trip back and forth, I am afraid there are more than 10,000 miles away, so the old body has a plan, I want to ask the son can you help him to give the rain, I don't know if you can agree? β
When Li Jing heard this, he was a little embarrassed: "I am an ordinary man, although I have some Taoist skills, but I can't control the clouds and fog, how can I do clouds and rain?" However, if Mrs. Wakatai has the method of clouds and rain here, maybe I can give it a try. β
Hearing Li Jing's words.
Mrs. Tai was immediately overjoyed.
She immediately ordered her servants to bring a blue-maned horse, and took out a rain magic weaponβbut it was a jade bottle in the shape of a pagoda held in her hand.
Subsequently.
The lady pointed to the horse and the jade bottle, and said to Li Jing: "Son, ride a horse, don't tighten the horse's handle, let the horse walk by itself, every time the horse neighs while walking, take a drop of water from the bottle and drip it on the horse's mane, don't do too much."
Li Jing nodded slightly, and took all the words of Mrs. Tai in his heart.
Followed by.
Mrs. Tai gave a few more important words, and after seeing that Li Jing had memorized them, she handed over the reins of the blue-maned horse to Li Jing.
So, Li Jing turned over and got on the horse, and the blue-maned horse opened its four hooves and tossed away, its feet went higher and higher, and finally soared above the sky!
Then.
The wind is as fast as an arrow, and the thunder rises from the step.
Li Jing galloped with the blue-maned horse, and every time he neighed while walking, he took a drop of water from the bottle and dripped it on the horse's mane according to Mrs. Tai's teaching.
After a while, the electric switch turned on.
Li Jing looked down and saw that he had arrived at his hometown.
He was happy in his heart, and secretly thought: "I haven't been home for many years, and today I am here, just to give a heavy rain to my family and warm everything!"
Come to mind.
Li Jing turned the jade bottle upside down and sprinkled twenty drops of water in a row.
A moment later.
After the rain, he rode back to the Dragon Palace.
Arrived at the door of the house.
Li Jing turned over and dismounted.
He strode into the hall, and saw the lady sitting on the throne and sobbing quietly.
Li Jing hurriedly asked the reason.
The lady said, "Childe misunderstood me! Originally, you and I agreed to only sprinkle one drop at a time, why did you once sprinkle twenty drops without permission? Did you know that this drop is a foot of water on the ground? The county town became flat in the middle of the night, where could anyone live? I have been damned, I have been punished with a rod eighty, and my back is covered with blood! And the son will be punished together after he comes back, how can this be good? β
As soon as I heard this.
Li Jing was dumbfounded, and his heart was ashamed.
Subsequently.
Mrs. Tai paused, and then said: "Gongzi is a mortal person, and the dragon clan can't help it, but if the heavenly official is here, it will be troublesome...... For today's plan, it's better for Childe to go quickly! β
Speaking of which.
The lady hesitated for a moment and continued: "I asked my son for help this time, but I haven't repaid it yet. There are no good things in the mountains and villages......"
Speaking of which.
Mrs. Tai pointed to the two maid rings beside her, and then said: "These two slaves, the son will take one away at will, and he will also have a foil for his life in the future."
When Li Jing heard this, how could he dare to accept it easily?
But Mrs. Tai insisted on giving it away, saying that it was a cycle of cause and effect, and if Li Jing did not accept it, he would be punished by heaven.
Listened to these words.
Li Jing was helpless, his eyes fell on the two maid rings, only to see one with a pleasant appearance, and the other was angry and angry.
After looking at it for a moment.
Li Jing thought to himself: "This amiable person must be Mrs. Tai's henchman, in this case, I still choose this angry person."
Come to think of it.
Li Jing explained his decision to Mrs. Tai.
Hearing this, Mrs. Tai nodded slightly.
Afterwards.
The lady sent Li Jing and the angry girl out of the house.
As soon as the two of them went out.
This Zhumen compound suddenly disappeared without a trace.
And the angry-faced girl on the side was already in tears.
Stay where you are for a long time.
Li Jing let out a long sigh.
He asked for the name of the angry girl.
Yahuan said: "The slave's name is called Fan Yue, but after the former Han Dynasty Dance Yang Hou (Fan Xu), he fell into the water and drowned in his early years.
Listen to this girl's life experience.
Li Jing is respectful.
Since then.
He didn't treat Fan Yue as an ordinary girl.
The two rested for a while, then walked slowly in the direction of Daxing City.
