Chapter 258: You still have to be realistic
Looking at the appearance of this woman in white, she must be a ghost cultivator and walking the way of God, and she lacks understanding and control over such spells as the wind, and her own Taoism is not very high, so it is impossible to play the wind and lead people in front of Ji Yuan.
But the woman was nervous for a while and didn't notice anything abnormal, so she was relieved.
As soon as the wind calmed down, the guests who had been disturbed before also settled down, and the servants of the restaurant and the servants of the Gao family hurriedly lit the few lights that had been extinguished again, and some people specially checked the wooden pins on the windows, wondering why they could be blown away by the wind just now.
From the beginning of sunset to the present, after listening to the book, the dishes have almost been eaten, and a banquet can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
Some people said goodbye and left, but it was not time to leave the table, the sound of the piano in the building did not stop, and it was still a cup of glass, leaving behind some people who were good drinkers.
Wang Li rubbed his forehead, which was a little dizzy, he was the one who had just been hit by the cool breeze, and he would wake up a little.
"Mr. Wang, the master ordered you to settle the money, please come with me. ”
A housekeeper from the Gao family went to Wang Li's side and led the storyteller who had cleaned up the table to get the money.
"Okay, let's go!"
Wang Li was also overjoyed when he heard that he had received the money, and hurriedly picked up his things and went downstairs with the steward.
Ji Yuan saw that the woman in white really got up in a hurry and followed Wang Li, so he drank all the wine in the cup in front of him, and then wiped off the handwriting on the wine stains on the table and stood up.
However, Ji Yuan did not go downstairs directly, but walked to the table where the master of the Gao family was, and arched his hand towards Gao Gongzi, who was still accompanying him.
"Master Gao, thank you for your hospitality, Ji Mou will leave first if he has something to do, and say hello to Master Gao on my behalf!"
After all, Master Gao is very old, so he can't stay up late, and because he was happy, he drank more wine, and he has gone back to the house to rest, anyway, most of the elders with the same weight have already gone back.
Gao Gongzi didn't know Ji Yuan at all, but he also felt that he couldn't be snub when he rushed to the sentence "Say hello to Master Gao on my behalf", and Ji Yuan was indeed extraordinary, so he hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.
"Okay, Master Ji is leaving!"
Ji Yuan, who had already wanted to turn around, was immediately happy when he heard this "Master Ji".
"Hah, Master Ji? hahahaha...... Fun and funny ......"
Although this Gao Gongzi should be good in learning, his habits are not the habits of scholars, or because most of the friends of the Gao family are businessmen, and the people who come to the banquet are also wealthy businessmen.
Since he didn't know Ji Yuan, Gao Gongzi naturally understood that he was a wealthy family known to his father, and he was habitually called Master Ji.
Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Childe is now in high school, most of them will go to Wanzhou as an official, the road is quite far, the climate is slightly different, you need to prepare well, don't forget to worship the ancestors in the temple before leaving the hometown, and then bring a handful of hometown soil with you. ”
"Wanzhou?"
Gao Gongzi thought about it for a while and instantly understood the reason, from the end of the year before last year to the beginning of last year, a "blood silk" shook the government and the opposition, and there were a lot of rumors in Youzhou City, but after all, it was too far away, and he only knew that he had killed a lot of corrupt officials, and he didn't know how serious it was.
"Wanzhou is a good place! It is also a good opportunity to show your ambitions!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ji, for the mention!"
Gao Gongzi solemnly surrendered his hand again, this time not to call the boss.
Ji Yuan nodded, and turned to leave, Gao Gongzi watched him go downstairs, and then sat down and continued to drink.
I couldn't help but think about it, among the people my father knew, there was still this kind of smell of copper coins, and there was a feeling that I had to meet a celebrity, so I had to go back and ask my father well, and it was best to invite this Mr. Ji to come to the house and have a good chat.
Downstairs, the housekeeper of the Gao family borrowed the silver scale of Zhongtai Building and weighed the silver in front of Wang Li, a total of two ingots of silver, one ingot five taels and one ingot.
"The silver is exactly the same, Mr. Wang, please take it, five taels is the honorarium, and this tael is an additional reward for Mr. ”
Wang Li solemnly bowed his hand.
"Thank you!"
Then he took the money, and his face was even more happy, and he thanked him again and again before leaving the Zotye Building.
After Wang Li left, a woman in white also left, and when she passed by the Gao family steward, the latter shivered coldly.
"Shhh...... It was a cold ...... on this big night."
As soon as he turned his head and saw Ji Yuan coming down, he nodded with a smile, Ji Yuan smiled back, and strode away from Zotye Building.
Although the watchman has not yet come to play the third watch, it will be almost the end of the day, and it is the time for the vast majority of the residents of the city to sleep soundly, and the streets are empty.
After Wang Li walked out of the Zhongtai Building, he kept walking south in a hurry.
"Uh......h Woo......"
The night wind blew him cold, and Wang Li tightened his clothes, and his steps were a little faster.
When I came to a fork in the street and chose to go home or go in the other direction, I hesitated for a while, but finally I didn't go home, and chose to go to the west side.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, please stay!"
A cold and pleasant voice came from behind, Wang Li turned around and looked back suspiciously, and found that a woman in white was standing behind him.
Wang Li looked left and right, and there seemed to be no one else with him.
"But the girl is screaming?"
The woman gave Wang Li a shallow blessing and said with a smile.
"I have heard Mr. Wang's "White Deer Yuan" for a long time, and it is a blessing to hear the last three times today. ”
Smell it early?
Wang Li frowned, he had never talked about "White Deer Yuan" in Chengsu Mansion, how could he have heard it earlier, could it be that this woman had heard his book in other places?
"Oh, thank you for the compliment, it's too careless for the girl to walk alone on the street in the dead of night, so let's go home quickly." ”
"What Mr. Wang said is very true, the little woman is very scared when she walks alone at night, I wonder if Mr. Wang can send the little girl home?"
"This ...... Lonely men and widows..."
"Does Mr. Wang want the little girl to go alone?"
The woman in white asked again, and seeing that Wang Li was still hesitating, she approached Wang Li's side and whispered.
"Mr. Wang, please come with me, I can help you meet Duan Muwan again. ”
"Wan'er!?Do you know her?Let's go, let's go!"
Wang Li no longer hesitated, and left with the woman, but asked Ji Yuan, who was far behind, to frown and think.
'Who is Duan Muwan?' This white-clothed woman Shinto incense is not very stable, and she doesn't know where it came from. ’
Ji Yuan kept at his feet, walked as if shrinking from the ground, and followed Wang Li and the woman easily and comfortably.
Wang Li and the ordinary man himself don't know, but Ji Yuan can really see it at the moment, because they were pulled by the woman in white, the walking speed of the two was unusually fast, almost faster than ordinary people running.
In the gust of night wind, the three of them walked farther and farther and farther away, and finally came to the city wall, and the woman pulled Wang Li to walk on the city wall, and quickly stepped out of the city like a space walk.
Wang Li was not aware of his own situation when he was deceived by the art of confusion, and thought that he was walking with the woman in the streets of the city.
Ji Yuan's body was like a light swallow, jumping up and falling against the city wall, still following the two of them forward, he wanted to see what kind of fame this goddess was doing.
Soon, the two of them had already walked ten miles away from Fucheng, and only then did the speed slow down, and there seemed to be no accurate destination.
"Mr. Wang, the little woman has something unclear and wants to ask Mr. Wang. ”
"Did Wan'er ask you, girl, but it doesn't matter. ”
Wang Li frequently looked into the distance, thinking that there would be people waiting there.
The woman in white turned around with a cold face and stared at Wang Li's eyes.
"Where did Mr. Wang learn about the story of "White Deer Yuan", the White Deer lady in the story was really imprisoned in the Yin Si and tortured every year?"
"This Wang is not clear, let alone seen, what about Wan'er, where is Wan'er?"
Wang Li seemed very absent-minded because he had been deceived by the art of confusion.
"Wang Li, I'm asking you, I've been looking for you for so long, don't pretend to be stupid here!"
"Ah, the girl has been looking for me for a long time, don't laugh, Wan'er?"
The woman in white sneered and waved her sleeve on Wang Li, who stumbled and fell to the ground, rubbed her somewhat stinging forehead and came to her senses.
"How...... Where is this? I, am I dreaming?"
As far as the eye can see, there is wilderness, and there is no shadow of the street buildings in the city.
"Wang Li, tell you how you know the story of "White Deer Yuan", how could you be an ordinary person who knows such a thing, and, and in such detail......"
Wang Li rubbed his arms, his expression was a little flustered, just now he twisted himself, it hurt a lot, it shouldn't be a dream, this may be an encounter with a spirit demon.
"Aunt, girl, Wang said it before the story, this is taught by the god in his dream, and it was slightly modified and polished to achieve this story. ”
"God-man, hehe, taught by God-man in his dream, which god-man would specifically entrust you with the experience of monster love?"
Wang Li swallowed.
"Actually, it was actually Wang who got the three words 'White Deer Yuan' written by the gods, and felt a scene in his heart under the touch, and then fell into ......a dream."
The woman was slightly stunned, conveying God with things?
Then the credibility is a little higher.
Thinking of this, the woman became angry.
"So that the White Deer Lady really suffered from the whipping in the Yin Si, just to accompany her husband? That bastard Zhou Niansheng really dragged her into the Netherworld together, and the Yin Si whipping will make her soul scatter!"
A faint blue cold light appeared in the eyes of the woman opposite, and her pale face was close to Wang Li's face, one hand was grabbed on Wang Li's neck, and her nails grew long.
"Hell... Great, awesome......"
Wang Li's face was so frightened that his legs were weak, and his instinct to survive made him tremble and defend himself.
"No, it's not...... God, the result of God-man's teachings, is, is better...... The white deer lady, although she is in the netherworld, but with the land god and an immortal as her guarantor, the Yin Si did not make it difficult, and she only received one whip a year......"
The hideous-looking woman was visibly stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you tell in your story that the land lord who pleaded for mercy ate the city god and closed the door, and Bailu was whipped all day long in Zhou Nian's life and death?"
"It's... It's just, it's just a slightly embellished creation below...... Wang swears to God, there is no half-hearted!"
The woman's eyes flickered, as if she wanted to see if Wang Li was lying, but the latter's face was pale and he didn't dare to look at her.
"How dare you lie to me!"
The woman was furious, and her other fingernail instantly grew long, and it aimed at one of the eyes of Wang Li's face.
"Definitely. ”
With Ji Yuan's edict, his bluish-colored nails were no more than an inch away from Wang Li's left eye, who was already paralyzed with fright, and his breath trembled.
