Chapter 206: Sell
Mu Bai interrupted her impatiently: "Let's get down to business first!"
"Oh. ”
Shen Li had to put away his emotions first, changed his expression and said: "In the morning, Mrs. Ye came to me and told me that there is a custom in this Wuling county that a 'Dragon King Festival' will be held every ten years, that is, the Dragon King will marry a wife - choose a young woman to be married and give it to the river god as a wife." The ceremony of the marriage of the wife of the dragon king is called 'ten miles of red makeup', and the whole city must light up red lanterns, hang red umbrellas and red silk;
"This has a dime to do with you?
Mu Bai looked impatient: "The customs are different in different places, and there are many ways to sacrifice to the river god, but the ending of the dragon king's wife is often the same——"
As he spoke, Mu Bai pointed to her nose: "It's to throw you into the river." ”
"In the end, who was thrown into the river depends on the ability!" Shen Li disagreed. Out of nowhere, she got a steel knife more than a foot long and carefully hid it at her waist.
Mu Bai swallowed hard: "Are you planning to smash the field alone?"
"No, I'm going to teach them how to behave. ”
Shen Li corrected with a serious face, and as he spoke, he lifted the hem of his skirt upward, revealing white thighs, and there was a snowy dagger tied to it:
"I want to tell them: Actually, the dragon king himself is a fairy! Therefore, from now on, the phrase 'the dragon king marries a wife' should be changed to 'the dragon king marries a man,' and ten strong men should be selected every year and thrown into the river! Otherwise, the dragon king's wrath will flood their crops and fields......!
"Boring. ”
"I read a lot, so I won't lie to you. ”
"You mouth, it's really blind if you don't go to fortune telling to see feng shui. ”
Mu Bai quietly reached out and pulled down the hem of her skirt and covered her legs for her: "But, what do you say you are doing in this troubled water?
Shen Li said dissatisfiedly: "Stinky Taoist, what about the purdue sentient beings who said well? What about great compassion and great compassion? No wonder I haven't grown in my cultivation for so many years! Selfish ghost, phew." ”
Mu Bai looked innocent: "What's wrong with me?"
According to the local rules, there is a fixed choice for the wife of the dragon king. ”
Shen Li said: "Every day of 'Ten Miles of Red Makeup', every household will hang red lanterns in front of the door, and then there will be Taoist priests to paste charms, which will not be extinguished for three days and three nights. During this period, if an unmarried girl touches the lantern and touches the magic circle, the copper bell will ring, she is the wife of the dragon king, and the next day she will put on the wedding dress and send it to Wulingdu to marry the dragon king, otherwise it will invite disaster. ”
Mu Bai listened and touched his chin: "If you want to say that, it is destined to be you?"
Shen Li nodded: "Therefore, the streets and alleys of the entire Wuling County were not visible during the 'Ten Miles of Red Makeup', just for fear that their girl would be chosen by the Dragon King." ”
"If that's the case, then maybe there is more than one chosen person, what if a bunch of bear kids like you pop up to play with lanterns?"
"It's possible, but 'Ten Mile Red Makeup' only needs a bride. Shen Li pointed to the clothes on his body: "Actually, before we came, there were already candidates." This wedding dress was prepared for her. ”
"Miss of the Ye family?"
Shen Li smiled and nodded: "So I'll go, she won't have to go!"
Mu Bai suddenly understood, and couldn't help sighing:
"You have the heart of a bodhisattva who saves the suffering! But what if? You are now a mortal with the naked eye, and you don't know how dangerous the things in the water are! Where there is a dragon king, it is clearly an evil spirit that has become a climate! I don't know how many people have eaten over the years, and the anger is extremely heavy, and the demon tower on the river embankment can't suppress it...... I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. ”
"Look at your cowardice!"
Shen Li looked down on him: "I'm not afraid of any mortal!
Mu Bai always had a bitter face: "That's not what you said...... Good guys, what are you doing in this kind of trouble?"
Shen Li's face changed, and he said angrily: "What do you mean by causing trouble? This is a matter of human life! Hmph, if you are afraid, you don't have to go, I didn't ask you...... Isn't it just a 'dragon king'? a small long insect cub that doesn't make a weapon, and I'm still afraid of it?!"
After speaking, Shen Li turned around and walked out.
"You, where do you get your confidence?!...... Hey, wait for me. ”
Mu Bai had no choice but to chase after him.
The two of them came to the courtyard one after the other, and saw that everyone was almost ready, and all the maids and servants had changed into red dresses and lined up neatly on both sides, even Master Ye and his wife were all dressed in red. At the gate outside the two gates, a luxurious red sedan chair was parked at the gate of Yefu, and there were countless onlookers looking inside.
Shen Li grabbed the red hijab in the little girl's hand very heroically and strode towards the door. Although she was wearing a red wedding dress and pomegranate skirt, her imposing back was completely like a female general who was about to go on an expedition, as if it was not a sedan chair waiting for her outside the door, but a red-maned war horse ready to go.
At this point, Mu Bai is convinced-even if he is a mortal, he is also bold! This is Fox Fourteen.
However, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw that Master Ye took a step forward, and he fell to the ground on his knees: "Benefactor, you are the whole family who saved me Ye Chengsong!"
At the beginning of him, Mrs. Ye, Miss Ye, and even everyone in the whole courtyard actually knelt down one after another, kowtowing to Shen Li, and the scene was very touching.
Shen Liwan didn't expect them to be like this, and he was at a loss for a while: "No, don't do it......"
Master Ye was originally a wealthy businessman in Wuling County, and he only got a daughter until he was middle-aged, and he only turned twelve years old this year. On that day, the city was full of red lanterns, and when Miss Ye first saw the beautiful scenery of ten miles of red makeup, she didn't listen to her mother's advice and went to the street alone to play, and she was tricked.
In the past three days, the Ye family has exhausted all kinds of methods. Even if he spends money to buy a girl to replace him? But where can he find it at this moment? Wuling County has not had a famine for many years, and who would sell his daughter to him, knowing that it was a fatal business.
Now that Shen Li has appeared, and he is willing to be the wife of the Dragon King on behalf of Miss Ye, after Master Ye found out, he was moved to tears on the spot, and asked her what she wanted, and she could mention anything! Even if she was a cow and horse in the next life, she would repay her and so on.
"You don't have to. Since today, Wuling City has no 'ten miles of red makeup'. Shen Li said a word to everyone, and just turned around to leave, he saw a figure appear at the gate of Ye Mansion.
The man was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a soap-blue waist, a tall figure, wearing white gloves, and a blue Buddha dust in his hand—he was actually a young Taoist aunt who was immortal and cold.
Her expression was indifferent, with a little cinnabar in her eyebrows, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and she looked coldly at Shen Li, who was walking towards her.
Shen Li couldn't help but be stunned - this is too good-looking, tsk, he is also a person who cultivates immortals, and he has the same style of painting gray and white Taoist robes, how can people wear them like fairies in the sky, and Mu Bai can wear them...... Alas, forget it.
Dao Gu shook the Buddha dust in her hand and flipped her wrist, only to see that the mark of the spell in the lantern appeared on her palm.
Shen Li suddenly understood: it turned out that the person who placed the spell in the lantern was her. This is not a sophistication, but anyone who touches the spell will leave the caster's spiritual power on his hand, and when the spell caster invokes the spell, the spiritual power will be manifested by resonance.
As soon as she was distracted, she couldn't catch off guard that Gu Er pointed to her waist, and the thin-bladed steel knife coiled around her waist was pinched out by her, and with a backhand, it was inserted into the door frame with a "bang".
it! This is too powerful! I obviously hid it so well-but Shen Li quickly regained his composure: "Ah, why is this belt so hard!
As soon as she wanted to leave, the Dao Gu leaned under her skirt with a cold face, this time Shen Li was on guard, dodged back, blocked it with one hand, protected the hem of her skirt and said angrily:
"Hey, don't think you're a woman and you can mess around!
Dao Gu snorted, followed a step and just wanted to reach out to grab her, but was blocked by Mu Bai: "This Daoist friend...... It's just a personal belonging, no harm, just let her go. ”
Looking at that Dao Gu's expression, it seemed that she was about to say "no", but as soon as her eyes fell on Mu Bai, the ice cube face actually showed a trace of shock, and her pale lips moved, but she didn't say a word.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Shen Li was so clever, how could she let such a great opportunity slip away?
"Wow!"
Although Shen Li was born in a small place and has limited knowledge, he has also seen eight sedan chairs - but what kind of sedan chair is this?!
The thing called the "sedan chair" is parked in the middle of the street, made of criss-cross bamboo poles to form a pagoda shape, and the connection is tied with big red silk and big red flowers as decoration, the front eight people, the back eight people, the left eight people, the right eight people, there are 32 sedan chair drivers! The upper and lower floors are as high as three floors! There are even special steps! And the top layer is hung with red soft gauze curtains on three sides, and there are seats in the center, and all the sides are full of flowers.
This step by step to the top, the queen's accession to the throne is nothing more than that!
"This is too handsome, isn't it?" Shen Li couldn't help but praise.
It turns out that "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" still comes with a float parade project? The "Dragon King's Wife" still has to parade through the streets?
Mu Bai also noticed the unusual sedan chair at this time, and just after he was stunned, he saw that Shen Li had happily stepped on the red carpet steps and climbed up. On both sides of the street, there were Taoist priests in gray robes, all standing with swords on their backs, with solemn expressions, looking like fierce gods, heavily guarded—probably afraid that the bride would run away halfway?
Oh, just Fox Fourteen's lively and eye-catching stinky personality, you won't leave even if you chase her at this time.
"The dragon king's wife" has never been a happy event for the people. Knowing that he was going to be thrown into the Yellow River as a sacrifice, he could still laugh so happily, if he wasn't a fool, he was afraid that there would only be Fox Fourteen.
"Who are you?"
The Dao Gu asked suddenly, her voice low and sounding very powerful.
"Wuling Mountain Drinking Wind View, Mu Bai. ”
Mu Bai replied with his hand.
The name 'Drinking Wind View' is completely made up by Fox Fourteen, which means to drink the northwest wind. But when you come out to explore the rivers and lakes, and others ask you for your name, you can't always say, "My family lives in a broken grass house on Wuling Mountain", right? Anyway, that place is very biased, and if you say that, people won't really go to see it, so the name must be loud.
Dao Gu was really frightened by him, bowed her head slightly, and asked, "You really don't recognize me?"
Eh, Mubai is a little stupid.
The aura of the Dao Gu in front of her is quiet and restrained, like a bottomless pool, and no Taoist practice for thousands of years can cultivate this kind of aura. Fox Fourteen is ignorant and unaware and fearless, but Mu Bai didn't come out to mix it up the first day! I secretly thought to myself: If this is really done, I am afraid that the result will be difficult to predict! Therefore, it is better not to mess with her unless it is absolutely necessary.
"You...... What do you call it?" Mu Bai barely managed to squeeze out a strange smile.
She didn't answer, just stared at his face steadily. That indifferent face seemed to be unwavering, but there was an undercurrent in his eyes.
At this time, Mu Bai was already very sure in her heart that she recognized the wrong person.
