The air is solemn and condensed, and the dew is frost to show that the world is close to autumn.

There is a folk proverb: it is better to make up for frost in a year.

So as soon as the lantern came out of Dai Yunong's house today, most of the old people in Caotou Village had already finished washing up and stood at the gate of their homes or in the yard and started boxing.

Today's watchman is not Dai Yunong but You Yanji and Tian Yi, and these two people made an appointment yesterday.

The reason for the incident is that You Yanji said that there are still many eerie and terrifying supernatural stories in his stomach, and just hearing the name makes Tian Yi very excited.

What are the 'people in the ear', 'the language of the pupil', and the 'head of the beauty'.

In fact, this kind of story was also seen by You Yanji in a book called "The Legend of the Ghost Fox".

However, most of this kind of "The Legend of the Ghost Fox" sold at a cheap price are mountain stories re-compiled by later generations, which are far less precious than the real ones, and the true meaning contained in them is far less rich than the original work.

The reason why the "Legend of the Ghost Fox" recompiled by later generations has such a gap with the real "The Legend of the Ghost Fox" is because of the lack of this 'thorn and greed and stabbing to the bone. ’

The charm and ghostly spirits penned by Mr. Liuxian of the 'one-word swordsman', demons and monsters, are different from their faces and are generally terrifying, and what is even more touching is those individuals who force these yin things and monsters to do hateful things, those things!

You Yanji and Tian Yi boasted that these are suitable for listening when it is dark and you want to be clear and unclear, and listening to them when you are walking on the road, it sounds more feeling.

So early this morning, Tian Yi got up early and knocked on the door of Dai Yu's farmhouse and pulled You Yanji up.

When he first came, the whole village was still frighteningly quiet, Tian Yi already felt a chill down his spine with those strange story names dangling in his head, and unconsciously accelerated his steps, but the more this was the case, the more Tian Yi looked forward to it in his heart, as if it was just like his fist, the more he fought, the braver he became, the more brave he became!

But the two of them carried the lantern and saw that there were already people in each household exercising in the morning, and these old guys were full of vitality, so there was a little bit of the previous atmosphere?

Tian Yi complained: "All the old guys have intentions, right?"

You Yanji shouted, and then explained: "Counting the time, today should be the frost in the twenty-four solar terms, it should be." ”

Tian Yi scratched his head, he didn't understand these old rules.

Scratching and scratching him, he suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Lao You, a few days ago, when you were in the Wen Restaurant, what kind of tea was that pot, was it poisonous? Look at you, you drank as if you were drinking, and went back and forth to the toilet several times, and your face was as if it was crimson a few times a few times, but it was the last time that your face recovered. ”

You Yanji looked embarrassed. What is the blushing face? That is the love to the high place without venting, pre-hydrolyzing the fish lovesickness!

You Yanji whispered to himself: "I have broken a realm." ”

Tian Yi sighed and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! Isn't that flying in the sky in the Seven Realms, not crawling on the ground in the Six Realms?"

You Yanji didn't bother to take care of him, and shouted again.

Walking to the entrance of a courtyard, an old man smiled and scolded Tian Yi with a smile: "Yo! The sun is coming out in the west today? The little demon king of the mixed world is also so early today? Why are you patrolling the mountains for your grandfathers?"

"Phew!" Tian Yi was already in a bad mood, and he didn't have a good face, and he spit into the yard with a mouthful of water and landed at the feet of the old man.

The old man is not annoyed, he laughs at it, the children are not sensible, it means that they are still young, and they are not old.

The old man said hello to You Yanji again: "Lao You, the old man has time today, and we will push Pai Gow together when it is dawn?"

Pushing pai gow is one of the few things that the older generation of people in this grass head village use to spend their leisure time.

You Yanji's popularity in Caotou Village is really good, and he stayed at Dai Yu's farmhouse. and close to Zhu Zhichi, relying on Dai Yunong, although he is an authentic foreigner, but because of Dai Yunong, he easily won the love of these old people, and Dai Yunong is very diligent and honest in the eyes of the old people, although he is not as inky as Zhan Yancheng, but this mouth can speak.

"It's feasible, but you have to wait until I'm done with my work, and then you come to our house and fight three hundred times, so that the younger generations can see what it means to be a boss!"

The old man nodded and smiled from ear to ear.

In Zhan Yancheng's house, after Dai Yunong heard You Yanji's shouting, he put down the book in his hand.

In addition to thinking about it and burning candles, reading is actually fine.

"I've been with me for a long time, I'd rather be me..... I'm fighting with me, what's wrong?"

Dai Yunong keeps repeating this sentence, the former is the beginning of the book, and the latter is the end.

It is still Zhan Xiaocheng's manual, Dai Yunong flipped through it at random, from the beginning to the end, and the beginning and the sentence 'I have been entangled with me for a long time, I would rather be me.' The book ends with the words, 'I fight with me, what's wrong?'

This manuscript is thinner than the previous travelogue, about a few dozen pages short.

But when Dai Yunong read it carefully, he read it much slower than the travelogue.

The book begins with 'I've been entangled with me for a long time, I'd rather be me'. The following should be all opinions and interpretations of these nine words, at least Dai Yunong read more than a dozen pages in one night, and they were all written like this.

Zhan Xiaocheng said that there are 1,800 kinds of evil in human beings, and this evil represents the appearance of all living beings.

Regardless of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddha, or other hundred schools of thought, these 1,800 evils are still difficult to eliminate, and even if the three corpses are beheaded, there are still remnants. Is it the right path, fear of heights, and the cold, is it evil, deep-rooted?

Coming and going, all living beings, countless. There are more unreverent and unbelievers than cow hair. All beings shall die, and death shall return to the earth. But the concept of the three religions has a long history and endures, and the same is true of the 1,800 evils. Is the world inherently evil, fearful of the spring breeze blowing and reborn, and is it that all kinds of doctrines are still incomplete?

In Zhan Yancheng's book, he asked two questions, and Dai Yunong who asked was like a lost person.

Looking around blankly, Dai Yunong put out the candle flame and prepared to take advantage of the slight light to take a short rest. Today, the old men of the frost fell and came out to fight, but those young and strong people did not come out of the cold.

"Dai Yunong, save me!"

Dai Yunong just squinted and woke up.

Convinced that he was not dreaming, he did not hesitate to rush out of the door and run towards the entrance of the village.

The voice was somewhat familiar. Full of hope, mixed with unwillingness and resentment.

At the entrance of the village, You Yanji frowned and covered the person's face with a lantern, looking at the miserable face and thinking it was Dai Yudai, but when he looked closely, his face was also raw, especially when he heard the voice, it was not like the locals in Caotou Village or Feisheng City.

Liu Daqing is not taboo to stand at the door of his house and take off his pants and pee, it is estimated that a soak of urine will leak the fire, not far away, the voice is not small and asked: "You shouted soul in the morning?"

You Yanji hurriedly withdrew to the side so as not to hurt the innocent, but Liu Daqing lifted his pants and went back directly.

"Who did you just ask to save you?" Tian Yi asked.

"I looked for Dai Yunong, and I begged him to save me. The man looked up resolutely, but it didn't look like he was looking for help.

It seems to have determined that there is no endless road.

He knelt on the ground and begged for You Yanji: "Please lend me a sum of fairy money and let me enter the village, I will definitely pay it back, double it!"

You Yanji saw Liu Daqing enter the house and stepped forward with a lantern, but was tightly grabbed by the man on the leg of his trousers.

Damn, I just changed into loose pants these days and was going to have a chance to go to Wen Restaurant again one day, which would almost be ripped off by this person.

"What's going on?" Dai Yunong slowed down when he got closer.

"Dai Yunong saved me, and He Fu lost his life to drag them down, I can't die, I can't just die!"

Dai Yunong suddenly realized, a little incredulous, his expression was solemn, he hesitated for a moment, and spit out three words: "Zang Hongzu?"

You Yanji remembered this name, and immediately turned his face and kicked Zang Hongzu to the ground and crawled.

But Zang Hongzu, who was still arrogant before, looked like Lao Tzu first and Tian Lao second, but his temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.

I saw him get up from the ground again, kowtow again and again without hesitation, and hoarsely exhausted: "Dai Yunong, I'm sorry! It's all my fault before, it's all my fault, as long as you can save me and keep me in the village, I Zang Hongzu swears that this generation will be a cow and a horse for you, and you will not hesitate to serve tea and pour water! I swear! I really swear, I was wrong!"

"He Fu died, in order to stop them, Jin Dan was broken alive! I can't just follow him to die, I can't ....." In the end, Zang Hongzu was a little incoherent, kowtowing for help and slapping himself to apologize!

Dai Yunong's expression was uncertain, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't leave or answer.

However, after You Yanji and Tian Yi glanced at each other, they were quite touched, such a thing was not uncommon for him back then, and he had personally encountered it, and it was not easy for the rootless duckweed to survive.

At this time, Liu Daqing also sat on the bench at the door and watched the excitement.

Tian Yi glanced at You Yanji, when he listened to Dai Yunong talk about the grievances between the two in the Wen Restaurant, he was actually quite resentful in his heart, but when he saw this Zang Hongzu like this, he was really a little unbearable, in the end, it was still the grass-headed villagers who were simple!

You Yanji wanted to speak and stopped, and finally pulled Tian Yi to the side.

Suddenly, Dai Yunong's eyes were cold, and he stepped on it hard, jumping directly over Zang Hongzu's head.

He was now running his breathing method all the time, and he would feel that the flow of aura around him was not right, and he would immediately become vigilant.

A punch was handed out, shattering an extremely fast Gangfeng, and then twisted in his body, the red light flashed in his hand, and the blade of the red knife was already on a person's neck.

As for the person who secretly punched at Zang Hongzu's life, a pocket flying sword was hovering at the center of his eyebrows at this time.

You Yanji stepped a little under his feet with lightning speed, and cast a set of extremely mysterious space secret techniques to directly pull Zang Hongzu into Caotou Village.

The last person's fist was just about to reach into Caotou Village, but a person held down his shoulder, and his fist intent was unloaded.

"Don't cause trouble. The last one was obviously of a high status, and as soon as this remark came out, the remaining three immediately took off their guards and had no air to circulate.

Dai Yunong collected his sword and sealed his sword and retreated to Caotou Village.

"Sword cultivation, the young hero also wants to get involved in the grievances on the mountain?"

The Jinding Sect has been established for hundreds of years, when the mountain was established, the ancestor was the Yuanying Realm, and all the disciples under it were the Jindan Realm, and now those people have successfully entered the Yuanying Realm, and this person is the most unfortunate person, Xie Yu of the Jinding Sect, but now it is also the Jindan Realm.

"Dai Yunong, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please let me enter the village, I can't also die if He Fu dies, otherwise he will die in vain!" Zang Hongzu looked flustered, and there was a thin line between life and death.

He Fu wanted to entrust Zang Hongzu to Dai Yunong is really helpless, the mountain they once relied on has now become a rolling stone that can kill them, and He Fu can only let Zang Hongzu make a desperate bet.

It's a pity that Zang Hongzu didn't know that it was his own Jinding Sect fellow who was chasing them.

Dai Yunong was a little hesitant, the old man had told Dai Yunong not to have anything to do with Jin Dingzong as much as possible, although he and Zang Hongzu had some grievances, but since that battle, they have actually been cleared, anyway, he thinks so.

But this will be a life and death in his hands, he looked at Zang Hongzu and knew that what he said was not alarmist.

He took a deep breath, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Jin Ding Sect, but the price was one life, which made him not know what to do, and he was not sure that allowing Zang Hongzu to fend for himself could be regarded as distancing himself from the Jin Ding Sect.

Seeing Dai Yunong's hesitation, Zang Hongzu tore off the corner of his clothes and handed it to Dai Yunong: "This is Hefu entrusted me to transfer it to you, please be sure to take a look, just take a look, even if I die, I have no regrets." Reconciled. ”

Dai Yunong did not refuse, and on the corner of his palm-sized clothes, he swore to death in blood, which was very scribbled, but he could also recognize it.

'People who are good, pampered, and miserable in their own right. ’

It's not just Zang Hongzu who is waiting for an answer, Xie Yu who hides his identity, You Yanji who carries a lantern, and Tian Yi who is in the lower five realms.

Dai Yunong glanced at You Yanji, he leaned over and nodded resolutely, Tian Yi rubbed his hands, always listening to Lao You talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, saving the dead and helping the sad is very moving!

He glanced back at Liu Daqing, he sat on the bench and lazily spit out: "You have to pay the passage money." ”

Xie Yu saw that the signs were wrong and emphasized: "He Zang Hongzu can escape for a while, but he can't escape for a lifetime, Shaoxia really wants to be a hero for this time?"

Dai Yunong's expression became more solemn, and he felt more and more that the water was a little muddy.

"Keep him. ”

When Dai Yunong hesitated, he suddenly remembered the voice of the old man in his heart.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. ”

Dai Yunong nodded, looked at the few people outside the village and said in a deep voice: "It's safe!"

After speaking, he picked up Zang Hongzu on the ground.

Several people outside the village were ready to move, but in the end they were all suppressed by Xie Yu.

Xie Yu was able to make an exception to enter Diaoyutai this time because he spent a sum of incense on the grounds of breaking the realm by himself, if he dared to touch Caotou Village, it would really be a little unreasonable, and the matter had come to this, he didn't dare to make a big fuss, so as not to attract more attention.

It can be said that Yan Qing deliberately suppressed the realm of asking the fist Jin Dingzong before, which was considered to have completely confused the Jin Ding Sect, but it could also be regarded as completely pushing Zang Hongzu into the abyss.

Right and wrong, that is, the threads are picked up one by one, and then twisted into a ball, cut continuously, and cannot be sorted out.

Xie Yu just glanced at Dai Yunong, but didn't say anything cruel, just nodded and left.

Zang Hongzu sat on the ground, laughed while crying, and then cried again. Bordering on madness.

Dai Yunong squatted down and handed the corner of the blood book to Zang Hongzu and suddenly asked: "Why don't you die?

Zang Hongzu held the blood book, glanced at it, and then held it tightly in his hand.

"People can't die in vain, I want revenge, and I have to go to hell when I die!

Dai Yunong looked at Zang Hongzu with a strange expression, and he also raised his head to look at him.

One is a clean face, with slightly narrowed eyes and some doubts.

One is unkempt, with blood-red pupils but exceptionally clear, and there are only two words at a glance: "Revenge!"

Dai Yunong sighed and got up and said, "There is a river behind to wash, if you still have clothes, wear your own, if you don't have it, don't dislike my rags." ”

In fact, there was a sentence that Dai Yunong didn't say, when he fought with the first masking person before, he noticed a trace of qi flow that was not much different from Zang Hongzu.

Back in Zhan Qiaocheng's house, Dai Yunong continued to open the manuscript.

When he was young, he always felt that he might not live long in this Caotou Village, without a father, no mother, no support, how to survive when it was cold?

But now I realize that he has always been a flower in the greenhouse, and no matter where he goes, as long as he returns to Caotou Village, everything seems to be over.

Now, even more, as long as you enter this room, sit on this stool without a backrest, and open the book, it seems that there is nothing in the world that cannot be explained.

He thought this because he was upset before, but after turning a few pages, he saw this sentence left by Zhan Xiaocheng: 'It's late today, I didn't catch anything, only a basket of sunset.' ’

Dai Yunong imagined in his mind the scene of Zhan Xiaocheng, a middle-aged scholar, who had been sitting by the river since the morning when it was not too early, lifting the rod again and again, and being disappointed again and again, and in the blink of an eye, when the sunset came, the middle-aged scholar picked up the wine jug that was set aside and found that it was much lighter, shook it, and there was not a drop left.

Looking up at the sunset in the distance, he smiled and said, "You actually drank it secretly?" ”

Dai Yunong sighed, closed the book again, and walked away from the stool that creaked at the slightest movement to the threshold.

At this time, it seemed that a middle-aged scholar also sat beside him and asked with a smile: "What would you do if the old shopkeeper didn't speak up to help you decide?"

Dai Yunong said without hesitation: "I won't promise him." ”

"Why?"

Still categorical: "I'm afraid of causing you trouble." ”

Dai Yunong muttered to himself, asking and answering himself.

"Mr. Zhan, what about you?"

The book straightened Dai Yunong's broken hair and replied: "You don't know Zhan Yancheng, but you want to be another Zhan Yancheng." You've been wrestling with me for a long time, or you. ”

"At that time, you were like Dai Yunong and Zhan Yancheng, neither Dai Yunong nor Zhan Zhengcheng, you will be disappointed, and I will be disappointed. ”

"The right then knows the severity, and the degree is only the length. Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, don't take the scale in other people's hearts and measure the weight in your heart. The pole and the stone are the way to weigh in the heart, everyone has a scale in their hearts but it does not mean that everyone is the same in their hearts, hexadecimal, sixteen front stars, the spacing of each star is the measurement, each measurement is the same distance, but the measurement in everyone's heart is different. This is the human heart. ”

Zhan Xiaocheng pointed to himself and continued: "Just like me, in my heart, my teacher, my sir, and my senior sister each occupy a crosshair, maybe put a thousand and ten thousand old village chiefs on my scale, and they will not be able to hold this scale." Is that wrong? That's right. That's the trade-off. You should have your own trade-offs. This is 'private'!"

Saying that, this Zhan Xiaocheng suddenly had a more reminiscent look, and was a little melancholy: "I heard my senior sister say that the first learning of Professor Shigong and his uncle back then was how to be himself, and now, Dai Yunong." You should also learn how to be yourself and use your scales to weigh the world. ”

"It's not wrong for me to fight with me, but if you fight with me, it's a big mistake!"

Dai Yunong wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, but his sleepy eyes were hazy.

Faintly visible in front of me was a table of tall books. You Yanji was carrying an empty bamboo basket on his back at this moment, and he had just stepped into the room with one foot.

You Yanji saw that Dai Yunong was a little haggard and closed the book on the bookcase for him, and asked: "Mr. Zhan is a scholar, and if you study his knowledge, you can't be eager to forge ahead, you have to take your time, otherwise in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty." ”

Dai Yunong rubbed his eyes and smiled, "You know better than me." ”

You Yanji smiled: "I'm also worried that the little shopkeeper admires Mr. Zhan too much and disturbs the Dao heart, Lao You is looking forward to the little shopkeeper no matter what." ”

Dai Yunong got up and stretched, patted him on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "How is Zang Hongzu?"

You Yanji said: "When I left, he was sitting on the stone bridge of the Li River in a daze, I don't know if this will still be there." ”

Dai Yunong was still a little helpless when he thought of Zang Hongzu, and his head hurt.

He walked out of the house and gently closed the door, stroked the door god that had fallen off the door, and said to himself, "You have always been there, and you will come back." ”

Sure enough, Zang Hongzu was still sitting on the stone bridge in a daze, and when he heard the movement, he looked sideways and found that it was Dai Yunong who came, so he hurriedly got up.

The restraint made Dai Yunong very uncomfortable.

Dai Yunong patted him on the shoulder and sat down on the spot, in fact, now he has more pity for Zang Hongzu, he doesn't know what status the Hefu who only has one side of the relationship has in Zang Hongzu's heart before, but he can guess that Hefu at this time must be very heavy in his heart.

Just like he did back then, his parents died, and he felt that he had no one to rely on, and he didn't even feel that he could survive this winter, and even if he could, he would have lived a very hard life.

"Thank you. Comparing his heart to his heart, but before Dai Yunong could open his mouth to comfort him, it was Zang Hongzu who took the lead in saying thank you.

Dai Yunong smiled slightly, and told him one thing very calmly: "Actually, I didn't plan to take you in at first, but an old timer in Flying Ascension City asked me to save you." ”

Zang Hongzu didn't react much, just nodded and thanked again: "Thank you." ”

"But now I've changed my mind. Dai Yunong turned his head sideways and stared at Zang Hongzu.

At this moment, Zang Hongzu's expression finally had a little more complicated change. Confused, uneasy, and his heart began to become apprehensive.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Dai Yunong, pressed his hands on the bridge and said: "You can beat me half to death, but please don't drive me away, don't hurt my foundation, and leave me a cheap life for me to take revenge!"

He was trembling all over, with self-pity, anger and powerlessness.
