Zhang Daoling is a heinous and evil person?

Mrs. Shi's answer surprised Lu Xuan, and he lay on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep.

If it was really like what Mrs. Shi said, why would he take action to destroy the evil on the mountain, and why would he give himself a jade pendant?

Lu Xuan looked at the jade pendant carved with a Buddha statue in his hand and sighed slightly.

He has studied this jade pendant for a long time, but he has not found anything strange, maybe his current cultivation can't see the problem of the jade pendant.

Although Lu Xuan was skeptical of Shitai's words, he still had to think in the worst direction, if there was really something wrong with Yu Pei, there was no doubt that Zhang Daoling was definitely brewing some conspiracy against him, then he would inevitably meet him in the future.

Throw away the jade pendant?

But at present, judging from the attitude of the manager of Luofu, Shitai should also have some magical powers, but she has not been able to see her Dao Immortal physique.

You know, the human-faced snake in the Jokhang Temple can easily see this.

Could it be that it was seen and not broken?

"Forget it."

Lu Xuan tied the jade pendant back to his waist.

If Zhang Daoling really has a conspiracy against himself, even if he throws away the jade pendant, he will definitely have other ways to come to the door and stay by his side, but he can avoid startling the snake, and all he can do is to find opportunities to improve his strength during this free time.

In this way, we will be able to respond to any crisis in the future.

Although things were figured out, Lu Xuan still didn't fall asleep, after all, there was a Mi Pozi who didn't know the details in Luofu.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Lu Xuan stayed up until the hour, sat up from the bed, and looked out the window, the sky was already dark.

The city gate of Yucheng should have been opened, and it is the best choice to leave this place of right and wrong after buying things early.

As for the Luo family's remuneration, under the threat of Mi Pozi, it can only be calculated first.

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and walked towards the outside of Luofu.

On the way, I met some maids and stewards of the Luo family, but there was no big problem, and I walked out of the Luo Mansion directly.

Lu Xuan didn't deliberately wait for the grain shop to open, but found the vegetable vendors who also came to Yucheng early, bought some sweet potatoes and other easy-to-preserve foods from them, and then walked towards the gate of Yucheng.

Compared with Weicheng, Yuncheng is a poorer place, the streets are not paved with stone slabs and bricks, and the uneven dirt floor is seen as far as the eye can see, and some are full of dirty water, vegetable leaves and other garbage are thrown on the streets, and no one cleans up and disposes of them, and occasionally there are rats and cockroaches and other things that slip through the streets.

But in such an environment, under the eaves of the street, there are still refugees sleeping in rags.

Among the refugees, Lu Xuan inadvertently saw the father and son of the Yang family.

The two of them hadn't been back since they left Luofu last night, and they seemed to be frightened, leaning against the door wall, not sleeping, and happened to see Lu Xuan walking towards them.

Yang Stonemason's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Real person, why did you come out so early." ”

Lu Xuan looked at Yang Stonemason, and then at the sleepy-eyed Yang Sanwa, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Luofu arrange a place for you to live?" ”

"Real person, something like that happened yesterday, where is there still air control in Luofu for us mud legs." Xu was too cold last night, and Yang Shimason wiped the snot that flowed out: "Real person, I heard them say yesterday that you were dragged into the house by the evil spirit, and you were not hurt." ”

"It doesn't matter." Lu Xuan touched his abdomen, and the place that was dug through by the evil hands had already scarred last night.

"That's good, that's good." Yang Shimason breathed a long sigh of relief, licked his chapped lips again, and hesitated: "The real person also knows, our father and son have no ability, and they can't help when they encounter this kind of thing, so they just waited outside, and the guests who came out later, listened to them, you are fine, and then I put my mind at ease." But he didn't dare to go back to Luo's house, so he just found a place to spend the night. ”

Lu Xuan nodded, the father and son of the Yang family really couldn't help in this matter, and he didn't blame the other party for anything.

Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't say anything, Yang Stonemason glanced at the big bag of things in his hand, and then asked, "Real person, are you leaving Yuncheng now?" ”

"This place is not peaceful, you better leave as soon as possible." Lu Xuan kindly reminded.

Stonemason Yang shook his head, he still had to earn some entanglements in Yuncheng, otherwise he would starve to death if he left.

"Looking at the direction of the real person, it doesn't look like he is in a hurry to go to Dajin, this is to go out of the city?"

"Yes, I fought with that evil monster for a while last night, and I stayed here for fear that it would find it if it held a grudge." Lu Xuan replied.

"Where can the real man live these days?"

Lu Xuan originally wanted to hide in the mountains, but thinking of how evil there are in the mountains, he may not encounter other troubles, so he simply replied: "There should be a village outside the city, and I am going to find a farmer to spend some money and stay for a few nights." ”

"Can a real person take my father and son with me?" Yang stonemason said eagerly: "Don't worry, I saw it last night, the courtyard walls of many people's houses in Yucheng are broken, it shouldn't be difficult for me to find a job at that time, and I can repay the real person if I earn money." ”

Lu Xuan looked at Yang Sanwa, who woke up from his sleep and looked at the two of them in a daze, and sighed, "Come along." ”

"Good! Good. Yang Stonemason smiled happily and pulled Yang Sanwa to follow Lu Xuan.

The three of them inquired about the people in the city, and after leaving the city, they went straight to find the village ten miles outside the city.

The village is easy to find, and it is not easy to find such a person who is willing to take them in, even if Lu Xuan is willing to pay more money, it is not an easy task.

It wasn't until noon that Lu Xuan and the others had a place to settle down at a grandmother's house.

"You just live in this wing, I live alone, the house may not have been cleaned for a long time, don't dislike it."

Grandma's silver-white hair was wrapped in strips of cloth, she was wearing a red cloth jacket full of patches, her body was rickety, her face was wrinkled, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she was asleep.

Lu Xuan glanced at the dusty room, and arched his hand: "Grandma's words, we can find a place to live, we are already grateful, where do we dare to say anything that we don't dislike." It's just that I don't know, Grandma thinks it's appropriate for the three of us to spend a night. ”

"Well, don't talk about that." Grandma waved her hand and said, "My wife and son died early, what do you want so much money for, you can just live, this world is difficult." ”

Seeing that Grandma didn't seem to care about the money, Lu Xuan didn't say much, but said, "Then thank Grandma." ”

"It's a trivial matter, I still have something to do, wife, you are free to do it yourself."

As she spoke, Grandma picked up the sash in the yard, picked up the stone shovel hanging on the pillar, and walked out of the house.

Lu Xuan and the others were not idle, and after cleaning up the house briefly, they were more or less able to live in it.

Yang Mason made some food, and the three of them finished eating.

He wanted to leave the village and go to Yucheng to find some work that he could do, so that he could rush to Dajin as soon as possible, and he didn't have to live a life of exile.

Before leaving, Lu Xuan gave him some silver money and asked Yang Stonemason to find someone in Yuncheng to post a missing person notice, which only needed to be written 'Zhaozhao, Alai, Shili Village outside the city'.

Yang Mason took the money, patted his chest, and happily responded to this matter.

After the Yang stonemason left, Lu Xuan sat on the edge of the door, holding a branch in his hand, writing and drawing.

Yang Sanwa stood next to him, looking at the crooked lines drawn by the Taoist priest in front of him, and asked with some confusion: "What are you painting?" ”

"Write some words." Lu Xuan replied calmly.

The longer he came into this world, the more he forgot about the past.

"What a strange handwriting you write, I don't even know it?" Yang Sanwa looked at Lu Xuan's things with a puzzled face.

Lu Xuan raised his head slightly: "Are you literate?" ”

"Well, Mr. Storyteller taught us some before, and I didn't really want to learn it, but my father forced me to write it down." Yang Sanwa complained: "It's like you can eat meat if you recognize these things." ”

"If you can read and write, you may not have meat to eat in the future, but you will never be hungry." Lu Xuan pointed to two of the words, and wrote the font of this world, and said lightly: "These two words go to school, which means private school, if you have the opportunity to recognize words, you can still learn it." ”

"I don't want it, it's not better to learn a craft in the future than to read and write, and these things can't be eaten." Yang Sanwa pouted.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xuan stopped persuading, and just wrote to himself.

His sister sat next to him as if she was looking at something very novel, and from time to time she would ask him something, and Lu Xuan answered them one by one.

Seeing Lu Xuan's chatter, Yang Sanwa looked strange, stopped watching him write, and ran to the side to play.

When it was dusk, the first to come back was the grandmother who rented the house to them.

It's just that when she went out, Grandma was still clean, but when she came back, she was covered in mud.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you, did you fall?" Seeing this, Yang Sanwa, who was sitting on the courtyard wall, jumped down from it and hurriedly went to help her grandmother.

At such an age, it's terrible to fall.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the work stains the clothes." The old man has an inexplicable sense of affection for children, and this grandmother is the same, although she has known each other for a short time, she still took Yang Sanwa's little hand and said: "Hungry, grandma will go and make bud rice to eat." ”

"Okay!" Yang Sanwa nodded as if the chicken pecked rice: "Can you put some salt, it tastes better with salt." ”

"Yes." Grandma replied with a smile.

The light of dusk had not completely receded, and Lu Xuan saw not only the soil on Grandma's body, but also a few bricks and stones scattered in the back, which were square.

What are you doing when you're so old and come back with so many bricks?

Evening.

Yang stonemason, who was looking for work outside, rushed back from Yucheng, sweating profusely, covered with white ash all over his body, glued with sweat, and his body still wafted with a strong sour smell.

Yang Stonemason sat on the bench and gulped down the gruel that Yang Sanwa specially left for him, with excitement in his eyes: "Real person, we have almost done what you said, as long as they come to you in the next few days, they will definitely be able to find it." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, looking at Yang Stonemason's happy appearance, he couldn't help asking, "How are you looking for work?" ”

Yang stonemason drank a large mouthful of gruel and swallowed it from his throat: "It's not difficult to find a job in Yuncheng, eighty copper plates a day, and when we finish these few days, it's enough for us to go to Dajin." ”

"Eighty copper plates?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised, you must know that more than ten copper plates are enough for a poor family to live for two or three days, and ordinary places can't open such a high price: "Which family's work gives such a high price." ”

Yang stonemason licked the rice grains at the bottom of the bowl clean, and did not hide it, and said: "The real person also knows that Luo Yuanwai was not killed by evil spirits?" Let's just think that the Luo family is a wealthy family, and they will definitely make a lot of money by working for them, so we went to ask. One question! The stonemason who happened to need to make the grave, so we accepted it. ”

Lu Xuan wiped the words written on the ground with his feet at will, and said calmly: "You'd better not get involved in the affairs of the Luo family, if you want to find a job, try to find someone else." ”

Yang Stonemason understood what Lu Xuan meant, but that family could give a price that exceeded Luofu, not to mention that the soldiers were in chaos now, maybe the rebels would come over tomorrow, if they didn't prepare more money, they wouldn't know where to flee when the time came, so they just nodded with a smile and said, "I know, don't worry about real people." ”

As he was talking, Yang stonemason suddenly saw the grandmother's back on the edge of the courtyard, and took a closer look, which contained square stone bricks, he picked it up and took a look, and then the sunset, he could see the eight characters of birth written on it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "No wonder this grandma doesn't take our money, this is making a dead kiln for herself." ”

Lu Xuan had some doubts when he saw Grandma come back with a load of stone bricks back, but now when he saw Yang Stonemason say this, he opened his mouth and asked, "What is the dead kiln?" ”

Yang Mason thought for a while and replied: "This death kiln is to repair the tomb, and when the old people in the family are old, the juniors in the family will carry them to the mountain, dig a grave for them and put them in, and leave a face that is not sealed, and every day at noon, the old man will be given a meal to eat, and when he finishes eating, he will seal a piece, until forty-nine days, and the dead kiln will be completely sealed." ”

Yang Stonemason couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The old man, this is the child who left early, and he was afraid that no one would take care of him if he died, so he sent himself to the kiln." ”
