Chapter 101: The Five Elders Arrived as Promised
In a house on the west side of Taoxi Town, Liu Yuan opened the door of the study, rubbed his forehead, and stood there, blowing the cool breeze of the night, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Someone is coming to visit today?"
A middle-aged man next to him appeared quietly, hesitated, and said respectfully: "Yes, it is an old man beside Ying Wuxin." ”
"What did you say?" Liu Yuan still closed his eyes, his body shook slightly, and he swayed his old waist.
"Say that you will come over in the evening and read the script. ”
"Let's prepare dinner, go out for a walk after eating, and just go to Ying Wuxin's place. Liu Yuan opened his eyes and raised his feet and walked outside.
The middle-aged man hurriedly went to help, "In addition, there was an incident in Taoxi Town today, when the words should be copied unintentionally, it was deliberately leaked, and now the whole town has spread all over the town." ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and spoke again: "Master, many writers and scholars have read the script, but they can't say it well, do you want to read it first, and then decide whether to go tonight?"
As he spoke, a volume of manuscripts was handed out and placed in front of Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan glanced at it, stopped, let go of the hand holding the man, put his hand behind his back, looked up at the dark night sky above his head, and said lightly: "Congmin, how long have you been in Liu's house?"
"Twenty-nine years and eight months. The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Then you should know my rules very well, if you promise other people's things, you must do them, and you will never read other people's scripts without the permission of the master, why did you break these two rules today?" Liu Yuan said sharply.
Congmin knelt on the ground in a panic, held the manuscript with both hands, and said bitterly: "Master, the quality of this book is really too poor, and I am afraid that you will tarnish your reputation if you go?"
"Nonsense, words without faith, will make people discredited, let's say, how many benefits have you received from others, so you insist on preventing the old man from going to Ying Wuxin tonight, although I am old, I am not confused. ”
"Master, the little one knows it's wrong...... Congmin panicked and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Liu Yuan's face was gloomy, not angry and arrogant, and he shouted coldly: "Come on, drag it out, and the family law will serve." ”
In the corridor on one side, two young men came out and dragged the servants to the side courtyard.
"Sir, sir, I know I'm wrong, but I'm really thinking about you...... That's a really bad script. The servants cried and cried.
Liu Yuan lowered his head, looked at a volume of manuscripts on the ground, slowly bent down and picked it up, held it in his hand, and shook his head and sneered after a while, "Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan, you are also old." ”
With a smile on his face, Liu Yuan took the manuscript and walked straight to the front yard.
After eating, calling two entourage, Liu Yuan went out of the courtyard gate and walked towards the Nanshui Inn, along the way the streets were brightly lit, the flow of people was crowded, and it was very lively.
In many restaurants, there was a sound of shouting and drinking, and the guests in the tea shop had a lively conversation, and the topic was nothing more than Ying Xianxin and how bad his words were.
Liu Yuan looked at the brightly dressed guests and walked over with a calm face.
"Liu Lao-"
When those guests saw it, they immediately got up and saluted, bowed respectfully, Liu Yuan nodded lightly, and continued to walk forward, neither fast nor slow, his expression was as usual, and there was no change at all.
Along the way, I walked through a few long streets, and most of them were like this, until I arrived in front of the Nanshui Inn, and it was reduced.
"It's such a big deal, I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment have been wasted. With a sigh, Liu Yuan walked into the back door of the Nanshui Inn, and in the courtyard inside, there were three old men, namely Water King Mo, Mu Guoyue Changqing, and Fire Country West German.
"You also met on the road?" asked Liu Yuanxiao with a smile.
The three old men all nodded, and Wang Mo said angrily: "Not only on the road, I also met at home, and gave a full five hundred taels of silver, and asked the housekeeper to send the script to me, which is really rich!"
"Hahaha, it seems that you have encountered the same thing, and now this world is the way!" Long Yuan of the Earth Kingdom laughed and walked in.
Everyone saw each other, looked at each other and smiled, and each took out the manuscript in his hand, Liu Yuan said: "It's okay now, so as not to prepare it for us unintentionally." ”
"He just leaked the manuscript when he was preparing for us. "Long Yuan didn't have a good qi.
The five of them laughed and walked forward together, and the second child of the inn came over to lead the way, bringing the five of them all the way to a small courtyard.
"Seniors, please!" Ying Wuxin waited at the door with Wang Banxian, and after bending down and bowing, he invited everyone.
"What about the other three Daoists?" asked Liu Yuan curiously.
"Now that I have realized it, I am in retreat. ”
"Amazing, worthy of being a disciple of Zhengyang Daomen, then let's go in. Liu Yuan took the lead, and the other four were not polite, and then followed.
After passing the small courtyard and entering the room, Wang Banxian served the tea, and Ying Wuxin smiled and said: "All the seniors came, and they all held the manuscript in their hands, didn't they mean anything?"
Liu Yuan glanced at a few people around him, and arched his hand: "It's a shame to say that the people in the family are not strict in discipline and have been bewitched by people with hearts, although we have got this draft, we haven't read it yet." ”
"The seniors are really high-spirited, so that the younger generations admire, then you look at the manuscript in your hand, or I have prepared it here. Ying Wuxin sighed and asked with a smile.
Liu Yuan threw the manuscript on the table, "Since I came to you, I naturally look at the manuscript you prepared and see what else you have done." ”
"Yes. ”
"Yes. ”
The other four also threw the manuscript on the table one after another, with a look of indignation.
"Seniors, please. Ying Wuxin smiled and distributed the five manuscripts to the five one by one, and then gave Wang Banxian a look, "Go and light the incense you bought." ”
Wang Banxian agreed, and after a while, he came over with an incense burner, in which white smoke rose and slowly drifted away, and a fragrant smell spread, smelling a mouthful, making people's minds refreshed, it was the best thing to refresh the mind.
In the slightly flickering flames, instead of the slight sound of the wick cracking, the candles melted down at a slow speed, gradually moving towards the end.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Yuan raised his head, gently put the manuscript on the table, slowly closed his eyes, and recuperated.
Yue Changqing, Long Yuan, and Xi Dewen also finished reading and putting down the manuscript one after another, Liu Yuan and Wang Mo opened their eyes, looked left and right, nodded lightly, and got up slowly, Wang Banxian and Ying Wuxin hurriedly came over to help.
"That's it for tonight, and we'll come back tomorrow night. Liu Yuandao.
"The seniors have worked hard. Ying had no intention of solemnly thanking you, "I'll send you out." ”
After the five elders left, Wang Banxian asked eagerly, "Little Daoist, how is it?"
"Wait here early tomorrow night, ready to order tea, haven't you seen that a few seniors haven't taken a sip of our tea?" Ying Wuxin's eyes glared, and his tone was not good.
"Okay. ”
On the second night, the five elders arrived as promised.
On the third night, the five elders arrived as promised.
On the fourth day, the sun just rose in the morning, and the heavy drums sounded in Taoxi Town, and the Spirit Monkey Festival arrived.
