Chapter 5: The Strange Old Man
Dali Siqing's face was kind, but his outfit was a little uninhibited, he was not crowned, his hair was scattered behind his head, and he wore a white robe.
He said slowly: "The border army is warlike and resists foreign invasions, and some of them have a murderous intent and commit crimes in the army, but because of their high military merits, they are spared death and tattooed. And that word is 'ten'! ”
Long Tu exclaimed: "The cross tattoo turned out to be a villain in the army!" No wonder, no wonder! ”
Chen Ke said yesterday that the group of people were armed with crossbows and acted at orders. Long Tu faintly felt that something was wrong, but when it came to the identity of the wicked in their army, there was no mistake.
Long Tu said: "I will copy a copy of the arrest document by hand, and when he comes back to confirm the authenticity, I will arrest all the people who have tattooed in the army for nearly ten years!" ”
Chen Ke was extremely excited, and finally found it!
It turned out to be the scum in the army, the soldiers who once protected the people, turned out to be the villains who slaughtered innocent villagers!
Who would have thought of their identity!
Dali Siqing asked Xiang Long Tu curiously: "Lord Long, you came to me early in the morning to ask about this cross tattoo, and you didn't tell me what happened." ”
When Dali Siqing spoke, he also glanced at Chen Ke, his eyes were full of amusement.
Long Tu sighed lightly and said, "It's this little brother Chen Ke, his village has suffered a catastrophe......
Long Tu told Chen Ke's miserable experience to Dali Siqing, Dali Siqing listened to it, his expression was calm, and he said: "They are the evil gods in the army, and they committed a capital crime in the army, who knows that they still do this kind of thing that loses their conscience, I will show Your Majesty, and the Dali Temple will thoroughly investigate the evil soldiers in the army!" ”
Long Tu said with a smile: "With the help of you, the great immortal, I think we will catch them soon and let Chen Ke's little brother and his family rest in peace!" ”
"Hey, I'm acting in the mundane, I won't use the method of cultivation, there are rules for the mundane, and the method of cultivation is only to strengthen the body, not to use it on ordinary people!" Dali Siqing said with a smile.
Chen Ke was a little puzzled when he heard this, Long Tu looked at Chen Ke's puzzled look, and explained with a smile: "This Lord Situ is not only the Dali Siqing of this dynasty, but also a national teacher of the dynasty, and a great immortal master!" ”
"Immortal Master?" Chen Ke said, "Immortals? Are you a god? ”
Dali Siqing looked at Chen Ke and smiled, but there was a feeling in his eyes that made Chen Ke very weird, as if he was laughing at Chen Ke and asking knowingly.
Dali Siqing said: "Little brother, the aura of heaven and earth in your body is dense, and you are also a cultivator, why do you still ask me such words?" ”
"Me? Cultivators! Chen Ke was even more stunned, pointing at himself, obviously unable to believe it, he was an immortal? If he is an immortal, where will he let those wicked people hurt his dearest family!
Long Tu smiled: "Brother Situ, don't tease him. ”
Dali Siqing shook his head and said: "It's not a joke, he has already entered the path of cultivation, but he has not stepped into it, he can be regarded as hearing the Tao, but he has not yet entered the Tao." But his spiritual veins are blocked, and I am afraid that he can only stand outside the door and watch, but he can't enter it. ”
Chen Ke leaned over and bowed: "I don't care if I become an immortal or not, I just ask the two adults to uphold justice for Chenjia Village and my family, and give them justice!" ”
Long Tu said: "Although these immortal masters are high, they always challenge the laws of the country, it is okay not to do it, to be an ordinary person, there is also the fun of ordinary people!" ”
Dali Siqing was silent, and did not say anything about the wonders of the immortal master, as if he had no intention of leading Chen Ke to practice.
Chen Ke didn't care if he was an immortal, he only wanted to eradicate that group of black-clothed people now and avenge Chenjia Village!
After sending away Dali Siqing, Long Tu asked Chen Ke to go back and wait for news from the white guards.
Chen Ke returned to the inn and saw an old man shouting at the door.
"Come and take a look, I missed the fairy god and regretted it for the rest of my life."
It was the flow of immortals again, Chen Ke walked over, and the people around him were all children, not any adults.
The old man was wearing a cyan robe, holding a blue book in his hand, and he was introducing to a few children: "Young man, I see that your spiritual veins are extraordinary, your talents are very different, and you are a seedling of cultivating immortals, I have a book here, you buy it to cultivate, and ensure that you become an immortal and an ancestor!" ”
"Really?" The child was very happy to be praised, "How much." ”
"It's only ten cents, it's not expensive." The old man said with a smile.
The child took it out of his waist, only a penny, and said coyly: "Is it okay to have a penny?" ”
The old man pointed to the jade pendant on the child's waist and said, "It's a little little, you can give me this stone in your waist." ”
When the child heard this, he immediately took off the jade pendant, gave it to the old man along with a penny, changed the book and went home with a smile in the envy of several peers.
Chen Ke shook his head and smiled, he had already seen through this kind of deceptive trick.
"Little Brother Chen, the aura of heaven and earth in your body is dense, and you have already spied on the immortal fate, why don't you buy a book of cultivation from the old man, so that you can enter the immortal path early!" The old man suddenly looked at Chen Ke and said.
Chen Ke was shocked, how could this old man say the same thing as what the Dali Siqing said, could it be that he is also an immortal person!
"Sir, do you know my name?" Chen Ke asked in surprise.
The old man smiled: "Nonsense, only your surname is Chen, I don't call you anyone, when you meet me, you are lucky, I have a supreme Dao method here, you can take it to practice." ”
The old man said, pulling out a book from under his buttocks, Chen Ke saw carefully, the old man had several books under his buttocks, which were used as stools.
"Give." The old man stretched out his hand and pushed it, asking Chen Ke to take it: "You're welcome." ”
Chen Ke took it, looked at the "Dao" written on it, and asked curiously: "The book is called "Dao"? Don't want money? ”
The old man spread his palms with a smile: "Chenghui Shiwen!" It actually has a name, called De. But it's not domineering enough, it's better to shout. ”
"Gotcha? Shouted again, shouted again? Chen Ke misheard, smiled slightly: "I still need money, I don't have money, I'll pay it back to you." ”
"Don't." The old man got up, pushed and stuffed the book to Chen Ke: "You find someone to borrow some money, it's only ten yuan, it's not worth much." A sauce-flavored chicken leg is only ten yuan, and it is not enough for you to eat one less chicken thigh. ”
Chen Kexin said: "I'm so poor that I can't even afford to eat chicken legs, where can I save money for chicken legs." ”
"I really don't have any money, so I'd better pay you back." Chen Ke said that he was going to return the book to the old man.
Zhang Guard, who was next to him, smiled when he saw it: "Brother Chen Ke, this old man is a famous scoundrel in this place, if you take his book, he will have to pester you." ”
"Go, how can you defile people's innocence. One side is willing to buy, the other side is willing to sell, how am I a scoundrel. The old man pulled Chen Ke's clothes and didn't let go, many people around him, and the shopkeeper of the inn held his hands and smiled and looked at the excitement.
"I really don't have any money, I don't believe you rummaged through it." Chen Ke was helpless, the white jade bead on his neck was also missing when he woke up, and the only valuable thing on his body was the bead, but it was gone. If he hadn't followed Sister-in-law Qin, Chen Ke felt that he would have lived begging on the streets.
"You find someone to borrow money, ten cents, it's not expensive!" The old man shook his head, but he didn't let go, "In this way, I still have a palace outside the city, you can cultivate immortals with me and ask, what's the matter, my patronage is already excellent." ”
"Little brother, his palace is a ruined temple." Someone is very familiar with the old man, and smiling and stabbing the old man's old bottom.
The old man didn't care, and said, "No matter what, if you take my book, you will give me money, if you don't give it, you will beat me, and I will not dare to ask you for money." ”
"This old man is weird." Chen Ke said in his heart, but he wouldn't beat this old man.
"What's wrong?" Sister-in-law Qin walked out and saw Chen Ke being pulled by the old man, so she immediately inquired about the situation.
Naturally, someone next to him explained to Chen Ke, and Sister-in-law Qin took out a cloth bag from her arms, took out ten yuan, and handed it to Chen Ke: "Buy it, maybe you can really become an immortal." ”
"Sister-in-law Qin, do you believe it too?" Chen Ke asked, taking the money that Sister-in-law Qin had forced into.
"Thank you, thank you." The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed out the ten cents that Sister-in-law Qin gave to Chen Ke, loosened Chen Ke's clothes, turned around and left.
"Hehe, I lost money today, I can only buy a chicken leg ......" The old man left regrets and left quickly, and when Chen Ke looked again, the old man had already disappeared into the crowd.
Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile: "He has a yellow face and thin muscles, and it seems that he hasn't eaten for a long time. ”
When the people around heard it, they praised Sister-in-law Qin for being a good person.
Chen Ke also understood Sister-in-law Qin's kindness, but he couldn't let Sister-in-law Qin spend money for herself, put away the book, Chen Ke said: "Sister-in-law Qin, don't worry, I will return the ten cents to you." ”
"Don't worry, let's go back to dinner first." Sister-in-law Qin said with a smile.
Chen Ke said: "That old man may really be a fairy, he actually knows my surname Chen!" ”
The shopkeeper of the inn looked at the direction the old man left with a smile, and said with a smile: "He is often at this door, and he must have heard it when your official called your name." Boy, buy a lesson for ten pennies, hahaha. ”
Zhang Huwei also nodded: "Very likely." ”
Chen Ke raised the book in his hand and shook it: "But this book is worth ten cents." ”
The innkeeper said: "It's really worth ten cents, but the misprinted books in Donglai Bookstore are put in a room and taken casually, and this old man often visits them!" ”
"Uh......" Chen Ke was helpless, took back the book, and followed Sister-in-law Qin to eat.
This innkeeper is so annoying, he always says something bad about people's moods, no wonder the business in the store is not good.
After eating, Sister-in-law Qin stopped talking, sighed softly, and turned back to coax Xiaobao to sleep.
Chen Ke had apologies in his eyes, and said in his heart: "Sister-in-law Qin, I can't tell you about Chen Ying for the time being." ”
Back in the room, Chen Ke continued his previous breathing pattern.
Soon after, his chest was cool, and he let out a cloudy breath.
It's still early, and when I'm bored, I pick up the old man's book and flip through it.
"Dao Ke Dao is very famous, Dao is very famous." Chen Ke said, "It sounds weird." ”
Chen Ke read it carefully, and the scriptures in it were indeed very profound, and Chen Ke couldn't help but look at them.
The book is not thin, but there are only a few thousand words in the front, and the back is a spring palace scene that makes Chen Ke's face red!
"This ......" Chen Ke was dumbfounded, this is a classic of cultivating immortals?
