Chapter 194: Return to the town again
Fan Yao was just about to spread his body and leave, when he heard a woman behind him shouting to him.
When I looked back, I saw a woman walking towards me, and when I looked closely, it was Zhang Qian.
There is a saying that once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope. Seeing this, Fan Yao couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in a panic: "Senior Sister Zhang, you, what are you going to do?"
The shout was full of horror, and the monks in the woods turned their eyes sideways.
This move startled Zhang Qian, only to see her holding her chest with one hand, and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Fan, what's wrong with you?
Fan Yao was stunned, but he also felt that he was making a fuss. smiled apologetically and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was thinking about my heart just now, and I was shocked by you, junior sister." Senior Sister Zhang, I don't know if you stopped me, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Qian covered her mouth and smiled, revealing her original expression. Then he looked straight and said solemnly: "Senior brother, when you go out of the foggy sea and mountain for a while, can you go to the town below the mountain to buy some paper money and incense candles?"
Fan Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Senior Sister Zhang, what are you buying those things for?"
Zhang Qian smiled sadly and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Fan, tomorrow will be the first seven of Wu Qing and Zhai Qiang. I thought, let's burn some paper money for the two of them to pay their respects and talk about the comfort under the table. Do you think it's okay?"
After hearing Zhang Qian's words, Fan Yao couldn't help but stand for a moment, and after a long time, he muttered: "It's only been seven days......? ”
Zhang Qian whispered with deep sympathy: "Yes, we are on the verge of life and death every day, and we actually feel like a year." Alas, Senior Brother Fan, tomorrow is only the seventh day. ”
Fan Yao looked at the buried bones of Wu Qing and Zhai Qiang in the distance, thinking of the fierceness of the two of them, as well as the tragic scene when they died, he couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate.
If I am more resolute that day, and recklessly, can I take off Kong Zhaowen's neck head, so that the two Taoist friends will be able to look at each other, right?
Wu Qing and Zhai Qiang, don't worry, this war is not over yet, as long as that Kong Zhaowen dares to appear in front of me again, I will definitely use this fang to comfort the spirits of the two of you in the sky.
After secretly finishing the oath in his heart, seeing that Zhang Qian was still looking at him, Fan Yao hurriedly retracted his thoughts, clasped his fists and saluted: "Senior Sister Zhang, you have a heart." Do I need anything but paper money and incense sticks? I went to town and bought them all. ”
Zhang Qian thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Fan, if your mustard seed space is large enough, it's best to buy some more grain and oil to eat or something." We don't know how long we're going to stay in the Foggy Sea Mountain, and we still have to prepare some of these necessary things, so be prepared. ”
Fan Yao nodded, thinking about it, most of the monks on the Wuhai Mountain are in the realm of Jindan, and the monks have the ability to open the valley when they reach the realm of the great monks.
A Yuanying monk like Gu Guanyu could only last for a few days without eating or drinking, and it would be difficult to continue if he wanted more.
smiled at Zhang Qian at the moment and said, "Senior Sister Zhang, you'd better borrow a few mustard seed space, I'll go to the town this time to buy all the things, so I don't have to toss anymore." ”
"Okay, Senior Brother Fan. Wait a little bit here. ”
Zhang Qian did things neatly, didn't let Fan Yao wait long before walking back, threw over a few mustard seed spaces, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Fan, it's hard work." ”
Fan Yao took over the mustard seed space, waved his hand to the monks, and then walked out of the forest, spread his body and flew away.
First, after going around the foggy sea and mountain, Fan Yao's divine sense unfolded and took a good look. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he wanted to go to Qingfeng City to find out. But when I think that it will take several hours to go back and forth, I am afraid that something will happen, so I can only give up.
The body method unfolded, and before the time of the tea cup, Fan Yao came to the outside of Qingwa Town.
After greeting the two soldiers guarding the gate of the town, Fan Yao walked towards the town.
I saw people coming and going on the streets, and the people were either leisurely or hurried. However, there is no sign of the days ago when everyone was in danger and in chaos.
I was secretly surprised in my heart, this Li Zongbing didn't know what means he used, but he actually calmed down these people.
Although Fan Yao felt strange, he didn't dare to waste time. Spotting the direction, he was familiar with the road, and walked to the coffin shop of the shopkeeper He after only a while.
Standing in front of the shop, Fan Yao looked at the plaque on the door and smiled slightly, only to see the four gilded characters of 'He's Wood' shining with golden light came into view.
It seems that the shopkeeper He is as good as a stream, and he has followed his own advice, and he really wants to open this business all over Dajing in the future. Anyway, the name is much better now than the straightforward 'coffin shop' it used to be.
It's a little more euphemistic and subtle, unlike the previous name, which hits the soul and makes people scary when they look at it.
When I walked into the shop, I saw that the shopkeeper He was still the same. He has a thin body, a wisp of a goatee, and a shrewd look in his eyes that is characteristic of a businessman.
After paying off the coffin money of the shopkeeper He, Fan Yao was busy with cultivation and rarely came to the door, and at this time, the two of them could see each other, and they had to be complained by the shopkeeper He.
Fan Yao respected this seemingly treacherous old man in his heart, and he was the one who gave Fan Yao a coffin on credit, so that Nini Niang could be buried in peace.
said that it was on credit, but in fact, the old man didn't expect Fan Yao and Xiao Nini, the two half-grown children, to pay back the money at all. Fan Yao insisted on getting the wonton shop up, and sent five cents to Shopkeeper He every month, and it took a long time to tear it up before the old man reluctantly accepted it.
Qingwa Town is like Fan Yao's rebirthplace.
The many people and things here made Fan Yao's heart, which had gone through the death of his parents and the gradual coldness of the displacement, become warm again.
Fan Yao was patient and accompanied Shopkeeper He for a long time before he called Shopkeeper He's newly hired guy and bought some paper money and incense candles.
Regardless of the shopkeeper's repeated retention, Fan Yao said goodbye to the old man apologetically, and went to the market to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt and other necessities that Zeng Qian had confessed. While people are not paying attention, they are all packed in the mustard seed space.
After finishing the chores at hand, Fan Yao saw that it was still early, thought about it, and walked towards the school.
Since the beginning of the war, Fan Yao has cut off contact with Liu Miao. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.
After a hand-to-hand encounter with Monk Fuli on the first day, Fan Yao was either running away or on the way to escape. Even if I return to the town today, I am just busy and leisurely for half a day.
didn't make a senseless move to knock on the door, Fan Yao strode into the school and saw Liu Miao concentrating on reviewing the students' homework. coughed at the moment, and said loudly: "Brother Liu, don't come to be harmless!"
Liu Miao was clever, and with a shake of his hand, soybean-sized ink dripped on the student's textbook. Looking at the speckled ink spots, I couldn't help but be full of chagrin and anger.
Raising his head and seeing that it was Fan Yao, Liu Miao sneered and said, "Huangkou Xiaoer, your tone is very arrogant." Why don't you come to me without fighting with the Fuli monks?"
Fan Yao grinned and said, "I came here this time to tell Brother Liu that the victory in the war is imminent. In a few days, I will be able to return to the DPRK later...... Oh, back to town. ”
Liu Miao shook her head, looked down at the bookcase, and said, "The dust hasn't finally settled yet, so you must not be negligent." Fan Yao, are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Don't worry, I'll just go back to the mountain before the sun sets. ”
"That's good. You wait a moment, and we'll talk again when I'm done with my homework. ”
"Brother Liu, you are busy first, take a walk for your brother, you don't have to worry about me. ”
Liu Miao raised her head and glared at Fan Yao fiercely, and did not speak, so she continued to sign the student's homework.
Fan Yao didn't see it, and saw a few brand-new books in Liu Miao's study, so he picked them up and flipped through them. But looking at it, I couldn't help frowning, and then I was angry.
Suppressing his anger, he simply flipped through the books, and after Fan Yao finished reading the last one, it happened that Liu Miao was also busy with the things in hand.
Looking at each other, without waiting for Liu Miao to speak, Fan Yao took the books in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Liu, what's going on with these books?"
Liu Miao saw it clearly, and said nonchalantly: "This is a newly compiled enlightenment book in the Dajing Dynasty, and students will use these textbooks in the future." Why don't you call me Brother Liu? Is it because your conscience has found out, or do you have something to ask me for?"
Fan Yao ignored Liu Miao's ridicule, and then asked, "Does Brother Liu know who compils these books?"
"Naturally, it was compiled by the Hanlin Academy of Dajing and several disciples of Mr. What's wrong, Fan Yao. Why don't you tell me about the war in the past few days, and let me help you analyze it. ”
Fan Yao ignored Liu Miao's question, and then asked solemnly, "Mr. Wen's disciples are all involved in this matter?" Brother Liu, have you read these books?"
Liu Miao couldn't help but feel a little strange when she looked at Fan Yao's serious expression, but she still replied truthfully: "Take a simple look." It's similar to what Mr. wrote, but with a slight change to the corresponding dynasty and the current form? Fan Yao, what's wrong with you? But what is wrong with the book?"
Fan Yao sneered and said: "It's not just inappropriate, it's a great crime, and his heart can be punished." ”
Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Is it so serious?" Where is the problem, Fan Yao, tell me." After speaking, he got up from his chair and stood with Fan Yao, his eyes full of doubts and looked at the books.
Fan Yao pointed to the books and said in a deep voice: "Among these books, there are many sayings that persuade people to be kind, respect the virtuous and respect the young. But I don't understand why most of the examples cited by edutainment and people are from the Western Continent?"
Liu Miao laughed when she heard this, and said, "Fan Yao, you are too sensitive. For all these reasons, I know that Dajing is about to open a trade route with Xiluzhou, and the DPRK and China have discussed it, and it has been deliberately done to show this grand event, which has shown the goodness of the two countries. My Dajing government and the opposition all know the wolf ambitions of the Western Continent, but I am a big country, and I have to get by in terms of face, right?"
"Hehe! What a big country! Okay, Brother Liu, listen to me tell you in detail. ”
