Chapter 30 The Legend of the Monster
The more you know, the less fear you have.
Li Ping'an knew the shortcomings of the ghosts, and cooperated with the secret method of guiding thunder, and all the worries in his heart were dissipated.
Even if the ghost king is in person, it can give it a little technological shock.
"Dao Chief, since there are ghosts in the world, can there be monsters?"
"Yes!"
Yan Chixiao nodded affirmatively: "Demons and monsters are two different types of evil, the former is the soul that gives birth to wisdom, and the latter is the dead thing that gives birth to the soul. ”
"Demons are rarer than ghosts, and even fewer are climates, and they are mostly foxes who rely on illusion to deceive people. They hide in the deep mountains and old forests to practice, and they rarely appear in the world, and Yan has only seen them a few times. ”
"About ten years ago, I met a bear demon on the way through the Black Wind Mountain, and went around captive the people to let blood and make alchemy. Yan pretended to be a rural man and mixed into the demon cave, and while the bear demon was asleep, he cut off his head with a sword. ”
"The bear demon was fat, and its four paws were smeared with honey and roasted, and it was eaten for three days!"
Li Ping'an stroked his palms and exclaimed: "The Taoist is mighty!" ”
"There are fewer monsters than demons, and most of them are dead things that have been nourished and worshiped by generations of people, giving birth to mysteries."
Yan Chixiao recounted: "Yan has only seen it once, it was in a fishing village in the East China Sea, and the highest place in the ancestral hall was not the ancestral ranking, but the tortoise shell with a large tabletop. ”
"According to the elders of the village, tortoise shells have been worshipped for dozens of generations, and it is difficult to trace the specific years."
"If there is a storm at sea, the tortoise shell will dream and save the lives of the villagers repeatedly, which is very effective......
Yan Chixiao's experience of mystery is comparable to a strange story.
Li Ping'an listened to it with relish, the demons and monsters are like the dark side of the world, occasionally looming a corner, which makes people make up ghost stories.
Scripts such as meeting female ghosts in the rush to take the exam, and Taoist priests descending evil ghosts may not be from conjecture, and may have really happened.
……
Following.
Sanniang Wine Shop.
Li Ping'an opened the curtain and entered, the steaming heat came to his face, the guests slapped the table and stared, and the noisy noise was endless.
Sanniang was standing behind the counter and chatting with Bao Wu, the official of the government.
I don't know what jokes are told, Le's proprietress leans forward and back, and the huge cumbersome shakes non-stop.
"Uncle Bao, come to Sanniang today?"
Li Ping'an stepped forward to say hello, put the empty wine jar on the counter, and filled it as usual.
Bao Wu said: "This matter has something to do with your kid. ”
"What's going on?"
Li Ping'an was surprised, he stayed in the mortuary every day, either practicing martial arts or sewing corpses, and he had been separated from his neighbors for more than a year.
deliberately live a low-key life, so as not to be different from the habits of the predecessor and make people suspicious.
Bao Wu said: "Do you have a Taoist priest living in your house?" ”
Li Ping'an bowed slightly, only to hear Bao Wu continue: "That Taoist priest is very powerful, Lord Liu personally ordered that every shop on Willow Street must be watched by a servant." ”
"Strictly prevent the green skin from making trouble and provoking the Taoist priest to make a move!"
"Can you still do this......"
Li Ping'an couldn't help but exclaim, the yamen couldn't stop Yan Chixiao from acting bravely, so he would clean up the people in advance.
Stability is above all else!
Bao Wu lowered his voice: "Did you hear last night's movement?" ”
"Uncle Bao, that's the imperial court suppressing the rebellion!"
Li Ping'an deliberately accentuated the word "imperial court", reminding Bao Wu that some things should not be used to show off, and maybe there would be secret agents of the Zhenfu Division in the wine shop.
"Yes, yes, the rebellion must be suppressed."
Bao Wu suddenly woke up, quickly shut up, and looked left and right with a weak heart.
If the preacher catches ghosts, then he has to talk about the origin of ghosts, and if he talks about the origin of ghosts, then he ...... There is no back, and the prison room is packed with food and accommodation.
Sanniang was full of wine and said with a smile: "Ping'an, what do you think of the girl I told you a few days ago?" ”
"Marrying a wife, wait a minute."
Li Ping'an hurriedly left with wine, separated by a world, and still couldn't escape the urging of marriage.
In his previous life, he could still use his youth as an excuse to get married at fifteen or sixteen in a big man, and he was already an old leftover man at the age of twenty.
Sanniang introduced a rural girl not long ago, and she has some relatives, and she knows the roots, and she can marry home with a dowry of ten taels.
Not expensive, with a tooth shop to buy a woman at a price.
Li Ping'an hesitated, he didn't want to get married in his heart, and he had lived with the person next to him for a long time, and he was likely to expose the secret of immortality.
Besides, the family is a concern, and it is easy for people to grasp the weakness.
It is unreasonable not to marry a wife, and it is "unfilial" to say that it is serious, and in order to increase the population, there are regulations on marriage in the law.
If the husband does not marry twenty, he will not marry thirty, and he will not marry again, so that the chief will be worthy of him!
The court sent officials to give you a marriage match, and if you dare to refuse, in addition to a fine and a prison sentence.
"I have to ask the master if there is any way to escape marrying a wife."
Li Ping'an bought a few catties of braised pork, returned to the mortuary with wine, and saw Yan Chixiao sitting on a plate in the courtyard, spitting at the east sun.
Spit out a column of white air several feet long, and the stomach is swollen like a drum in the abdomen, and it spits out again and again along the meridians.
About half an hour.
Yan Chixiao slowly regained his strength and stood up from the ground, his originally stumbling left leg was already able to support his weight.
Li Ping'an noticed that the thin film covering the wound in his calf began to harden and scab over after a night, and he couldn't help but sigh that the martial arts master had a strong physique.
"Dao Chief, try this burning knife."
"Laymen don't have to be so hospitable."
Yan Chixiao said: "When Yan is walking outside, he drinks spring water and eats wild fruits, and he can be full without wine or meat. ”
"Don't be polite, Dao Chief."
Li Ping'an opened the wine jar and poured two bowls: "The knowledge about ghosts and monsters is worth a thousand gold, not to mention the grace of eradicating ghosts to protect the land and the people." ”
"Our skills are low, and we can't help much, so it's right to invite the Taoist chief to eat a bowl of wine!"
When Yan Chixiao heard this, he glanced at the wine in the bowl, picked it up and drank three bowls in a row, and the wounds on his body suddenly became less painful.
"A layman is not as popular as a layman, and he is temporarily trapped in the shallows, and he will achieve something in the future."
"The Taoist praises falsely."
Li Ping'an shook his head again and again: "Fame and fortune are too dangerous, let those smart people fight for it, we just want to live in peace." ”
The longer Da Qian lived, the more he realized how difficult it was to live.
In just two years, he has suffered two deaths, and peace and security is really a luxury.
Yan Chixiao traveled south and north, of course he knew how difficult the people's livelihood was, and sighed: "When will there be a Ming Jun through the ages, so that the people of the world can be fed and warmly clothed, and there will be no more people who freeze to death and starve to death?" ”
Li Ping'an was silent, this wish cannot be fulfilled by man.
Even if a strong man like Yan Chixiao pins his hopes on the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, it seems to be a very ordinary thing, but in fact it has been subtly tamed by Confucianism.
Ming Jun, virtuous minister and Qing official, Confucianism believes that prosperity is a three-piece set.
In fact, they have little to do with the development of the productive forces, and even most of the time, this group of people suppresses people's nature and hinders the development of society under the banner of morality and ancestral system.
Li Ping'an couldn't explain to Yan Chixiao, there were too many things involved, and it was too terrifying.
Three or five sentences are revealed, and the earthworms in the mortuary have to be split vertically!
"Dao Chief, I have doubts about reading the Taoist scriptures in recent days, can I ask one or two questions."
The Great Toad's Qi is almost enlightened, there are only a few passes and realms, and the master who cultivates True Qi needs to explain, and if he practices wrong, he will really lose his stomach.
"Let's talk about it, Yan knows everything."
"The red dragon stirs up Jin, and burns the Navel Chakra, what is the solution?"
"This is a big toad?"
“……”
Li Ping'an couldn't think of disassembling the content of the exercises, and asked about the incompatible combination of words, but it was exposed in one sentence.
