Chapter Eighty-Three: Living in the Ancient City at Ease
But he said that the thief's eyeliner, hiding in the woods to peep, saw the officers and soldiers escorting the merchant team over, immediately went back to report the news, a moment of effort, came to a hillside, a group of people and horses were drinking tea here to rest, there were thirty or forty people, all of them with fierce faces, with weapons in their hands.
"Big boss, there's a deal coming. ”
The eyeliner of the news shouted, and everyone immediately cheered up.
Recently, the county guard has sent officers and soldiers on guard, they have not bought and sold for half a month, and they must seize the opportunity to make a deal, otherwise the brothers will have no money to eat, drink and have fun.
The big boss is a middle-aged man with a horizontal face, sitting in front of a big tree, with a big knife next to him, and the two younger brothers are beating their backs and pinching their legs, when they hear that there is a sale, they ask: "How many people are there, how many goods are there?"
The eyeliner of the report replied: "I have counted, there are only about a dozen officers and soldiers, there are more than 20 horse gangs, the carriages and horses are full of goods, and the total is only about 30 people, and the rest have more than a dozen, they should not have practiced, so they are not afraid." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, this deal came well, they actually met a team of horse gangs, and they could make a lot of money by robbing these horses, but the people of the horse gang were more or less trained in a few martial arts, plus a dozen officers and soldiers, it was not easy to deal with.
"Big boss, is this business done?" asked the second boss next to him.
The big boss thought about it, the recent business is not easy to do, could it be that he met a big fish like the horse gang, and he was heartbroken, and said: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, and I did it!"
As soon as the words fell, the big boss stood up and was about to pull out the big knife inserted in the ground, but suddenly he screamed.
"Ah......h
As if he saw something, the big boss's eyes were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and he fell down as soon as his son was soft, and he was already in a state of disillusionment, and he couldn't see it.
"Big boss, big boss?"
Everyone hurriedly shouted, came up to take a look, and when they saw the appearance of the big boss, they couldn't help but look at each other, only to feel that the forest was weird, and the atmosphere was quiet.
"Big boss, are you alright?"
The second master next to him stepped forward cautiously, reached out and touched the big boss's snort, and was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, with a look of horror: "This is this...... Big boss, dead!"
"What? The big boss is dead!" When everyone heard this, they were also stunned, "How could the big boss die? Could it be that he has fallen into an evil spirit?"
......Hearing these two words, everyone was frightened and panicked, and suddenly remembered that the area around this ancient city and county was a realm blessed by the gods.
But in this area, I haven't heard of any immortals for many years, and they all say that they have been sealed by the imperial court, and they are tacky, and the spells of the gods are not working.
At this moment, the second boss also suddenly screamed "ah", his face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his two eyes bulged out, and he fell to the ground blindly.
Immediately, another man screamed, and immediately fell to the ground, his face pale and dead.
"This, this, this...... There's a ghost!"
Everyone was completely frightened and panicked, I don't know who shouted that there was a ghost, and suddenly there was a panic, and the first reaction was to escape, but the frightened legs were weak, and they stumbled and fell to the ground as soon as they took a step, even rolling and crawling, and they couldn't even run.
And in the crowd, there were people who kept screaming, and then they fell down without seeing it, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen died.
On the other side, in the woods.
The officers and soldiers walked with everyone, still carefully guarding against the thieves, completely unaware that the thieves had collapsed, but Zhang Xian walked to the back of the team and gestured with two fingers in the air.
And Zhang Xian has retreated from the double pupil, and everyone's soul has been remembered by him, and he has also learned to remember the knock at a glance with the subtlety of the double pupil.
When an officer and soldier next to him saw this scene, he couldn't help asking, "Little sir, what are you comparing to here?"
"I'm practicing calligraphy, as the saying goes, I don't practice my hands for three days, I've been in a hurry, and I can't lose my writing skills, so I'll make a gesture with my hands. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Xian's thoughts moved, and he drew a talisman in his hand, visualizing the soul qi machine that he remembered, as if casting a spell on a natal portrait, the talisman turned into a sword, and the portrait was cut in an instant.
In fact, this spell is not difficult, the key is to check the soul, visualize the meditation, like imprinting a natal mark, he was in a hurry during this time, while in the sea of consciousness to comprehend the spell, and realized a lot of new understanding.
"Little sir, you read and write so hard, and you practice calligraphy when you walk, why don't you go to the test for fame?" the officer and soldier asked, still respecting the literate readers.
"Hey......" Zhang Xian pretended to sigh and said: "The luck is not good, and I have repeatedly failed the exam, so I came to seek immortals." ”
"I see. The officers and soldiers suddenly realized, but there were many scholars who repeatedly failed the exam, so they came out to play in the mountains and rivers, chanted poems and painted, and asked immortals.
Their ancient city county used to be a holy place for Fang Immortals, but now it is about to become a holy place for play.
During the conversation, Zhang Xian killed two more thieves, and he kept sketching in his hands, one after another, just like Lord Yama sketching a book of life and death, one hook to death.
Behind the small hill, the thieves have already died, and the remaining dozen or so thieves are completely frightened and collapsed.
One of them was so frightened that he couldn't even run away, so he had to kneel on the ground and tremble, kowtow vigorously, and begged the ghosts and gods to spare his life, and he would never dare again.
When the rest of the people saw this, they also trembled on their knees, kowtowed vigorously to admit their mistakes, and begged for mercy.
Zhang Xian sensed the thoughts of these people, and his soul was already frightened and injured, so he stopped and didn't kill him.
Let these people live, spread this matter, and let this area know that the immortals are still here, and they must not be presumptuous.
But even if he let it go, these people will not escape, they have been frightened and wounded, and there are already shadows in their hearts, and if they are weak and do not heal the gods of peace, they will be seriously ill, nightmares and nightmares, crazy, and at worst, they will die and die soon.
After walking for most of the hour, I arrived at the ancient city.
The ancient city is a very old county town, because it is located in a remote area, it is rarely affected by the war, and it retains a lot of ancient buildings, which are antique and ancient.
The ancient city is located in a mountain stream, surrounded by mountains, and the fog lingers, which really has a bit of the artistic conception of a heavenly fairy city.
At this evening, lanterns were hung in the city, and the candlelight was hazy, adding a bit of fairy spirit to the ancient city.
Everyone entered the city, each went their separate ways, Zhang Xian walked to the street alone, stepping on the old bluestone slab under his feet, walking around, wandering around the night scene of the ancient city.
The sugar gourd snacks sold by the hawkers, the tourists from other places can be seen everywhere, the restaurants on the street, the women sing and play music, and the literati and writers chant poems against each other, so they are not at ease.
"Just live in the ancient city, which can be regarded as a big hidden in the city. ”
His mind moved, Taixu Mountain is a mountain range, and the mountains and rivers of the entire Gucheng County are actually Taixu Mountain.
During the conversation at the inn on the way, after learning that Taixu Mountain had become a secular place after accepting the edict, the Fang Immortal hermits had all retreated, and it didn't matter if he went or not, not to mention that he had already obtained the Dao Law, and now he just needed to settle down and concentrate on cultivation.
And this ancient city is good, he likes this ancient ancient city.
"It's decided like this, and I settled in the ancient city, but Taixu Mountain is already close at hand, and after staying, it doesn't hurt to go to Taixu Mountain to see, just like a tour of the mountains and rivers. ”
I decided to do it, and I suddenly felt very happy, everything was as I liked, I went with the flow, and I lived wherever I liked, which was not a kind of leisure.
"Let's stay at the inn for the time being, and buy another house. ”
He had a plan in his heart, quickened his pace, and found an inn to enter, the inn was noisy, a group of scribe-like sons and brothers, were ordering a wine fight, and the atmosphere was not noisy.
He came to the counter, took out a piece of silver, and shouted to the shopkeeper: "I want an upper room." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at it, and the young man who looked like a poor scholar was still bold in his hand, and hurriedly took down a wooden sign in the upper room, and shouted loudly: "One in the upper room!"
Then he asked, "What else do you want to eat?"
"I've eaten out, no need. Zhang Xian said, this is the time for dinner, he tried to keep a low profile, so as not to let people see anything unusual.
The shopkeeper heard the shopkeeper's shouting, and hurriedly came over to guide Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian followed to the room, and the shopkeeper opened the door, lit the candle in the house, and covered the lantern.
Zhang Xian took out a few copper coins, rewarded the shopkeeper, and said, "Little brother has worked hard, can I ask you about something?"
The shopkeeper then rewarded the money, with a happy face: "Guest officer, you are from out of town to play, what's the matter, just ask us, we are a know-it-all in this ancient city." ”
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "I'm here to seek immortals, and I want to live in the ancient city for a long time, I don't know if there are any houses for sale in this city?"
"Yo! guest officer, you are here to ask for immortals!" As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper was not surprised, most of these foreign tourists in the store came to ask for immortals.
However, it is rare to buy a house here to live permanently, and it is generally a trip, and if you don't ask for an immortal, you will go back.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "If you want to buy a house, I heard some time ago that the lord of the county government returned to the state capital to report on his work and was transferred to other county governments, and his house was going to be sold. ”
"I don't know where this house is, can the little brother help me introduce it, it's troublesome for the little brother." Zhang Xian said, and took out another tael of silver to reward.
The shopkeeper hurriedly followed the silver, smiled respectfully, and said: "No problem, let's go ask Ming'er, if it has been sold, let's inquire about something else, and promise to help the guest officer do this." ”
"Thank you very much. Zhang Xian bowed his hand to show his gratitude.
"You're welcome, you have to rest first, I still have to get busy. The shopkeeper also bowed and retired.
Zhang Xian closed the door, took a sip of water, took out the bottle inside, found the bottle containing the medicine, and poured out a rough pill, which was the marrow cleansing pill he had concocted.
On the way, he had ginseng, bought other medicinal materials, and prepared the myelin cleansing pill, but the quality of this pill was a little unsightly, and it was rubbed into a pill at will, which looked very rough, but it did not affect the efficacy.
He took one and began to meditate and practice, until late at night, when the atmosphere in the inn gradually quieted down, he also lay down to sleep, entered the realm of the living dead, and practiced the Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death Transformation Dragon Technique.
However, after falling asleep, I only felt that my thoughts were dreaming, the fog was filled, the picture scroll was hazy, and the sound of a trickling stream came.
"Huh!"
Zhang Xian was surprised for a moment, but then he was happy, it was Xiao Yun who was looking for him, and Xiao Yun had not seen him for a long time.
He hurried forward, but there was no one in the water.
At this moment, a cold drink came from behind him, "Zhang Xian, look where you are still fleeing!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Xian was taken aback, this was not Xiao Yun, who invaded his thoughts, and actually knew his share, and a murderous aura instantly rose in his heart.
