Chapter 3 A boy should travel far away with the wind and rain
In the early morning, the fog was thick, and it began to rain again in the sky.
The rain always comes like this, and it comes quietly, as it should be in the south of the Divine Dynasty.
Ning Shu woke up before dawn, in fact, he didn't sleep well all night, thinking that he would leave this place where he had lived for more than ten years early in the morning after dawn, so he couldn't sleep all night.
What Chen Shanhai said is right, he usually doesn't like to talk, but he always thinks about a lot of things in his heart.
Since I can't sleep, I don't sleep.
He began to meditate.
When it comes to meditation, it's actually about falling into a state of emptiness.
The first time he appeared was when he was six years old, he woke up conscious, but his body could not move, and he could feel all kinds of air currents surging around him
Ning Shu once thought he was going to die.
After returning to normal, he cried and went to the old scholar, who touched his head and told him not to be afraid, this kind of behavior is called meditation, which is hard to find, and he should do it often in the future, so that he can keep a clear mind and do learning.
Since then, Ning Shu has taken time out every morning to meditate for a period of time, and he has gradually learned to see the world in a different way than his eyes.
After so many years, I really feel that my brain is much better, and many things in books can be memorized at a glance, and it is not easy to forget.
This is what makes him different from ordinary people, but he is only unforgettable.
......
......
Ning Shu lit the lamp and packed his luggage, walked around the whole house, and found that there was nothing to take away.
"Just leave those books to the children in the school, there should be no shortage of books in Los Angeles. Let's stay in this house, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, and if there are people who have traveled far away from home, I will have a place to rest in the city......"
He thought to himself.
After packing up for a long time, he only brought some necessary daily necessities on the road, silver taels and dry food, as well as the most important scholar's study documents and the booklet left by the old scholar, sighed and put it into his arms.
Pushing open the door, the sky was slightly bright, and the air smelled of dirt, thinking that it had rained again last night, and there were still traces of water on the ground.
It was still early for the caravan to depart, and he decided to take a walk around the city and take one last look.
When I passed by the school, I unexpectedly found a round figure sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.
Ning Shu didn't make a sound, and quietly walked over and sat next to Ji Qingniu.
Ji Qingniu's surname is extremely rare in the city, if you have been to other big states or been to Los Angeles, you will find that in the entire God Dynasty, the surname Ji is rare. There is no other reason, just because the royal family of the Divine Dynasty has taken Ji as their surname since ancient times, and ordinary people dare to climb relatives with the royal family.
Qingniu got this surname, which can be regarded as an adventure.
When Ji Qingniu was eight years old, I don't know why, a group of children went to a grave on the outskirts of the city to play. Even the old people in the city don't know when the ownerless tomb was there.
After returning, Qingniu fell unconscious that night, and his face was full of black gas. After being awakened, his eyes were blood-red, and he bit people when he saw them, and his eyes behaved extremely viciously, like wild beasts. In desperation, Qingniu's parents tied Qingniu to the bed with hemp rope, and hurriedly found someone to find the city lord Chen Shanhai.
Chen Shanhai slapped the table after hearing this, thinking that since he took office as the city lord of Ping'an City, the city he has governed has been peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth, how can there be such a ridiculous thing about ghosts. He immediately ordered his subordinate officers to bring swords, got on their horses, and went to Qingniu's house.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, before I entered the house, I saw the dog in the courtyard barking at the house, as if he was extremely afraid of the things in the house. Chen Shanhai waved the whip of his horse to drive the dog aside. Raise your feet and enter the house to see, he is familiar with Qingniu, this child often comes to the city lord's mansion to play with his daughter.
But the person in front of him, a good fellow, looked like a child, with scratches and blood marks all over his body, and he was screaming with saliva and biting. If it weren't for the hemp rope on his body, Chen Shanhai had no doubt that the thing in front of him would pounce on him the next moment, and then bite his throat.
"So that's going to happen?" Chen Shanhai asked with a frown.
He is good at leading soldiers to fight, and he is also good at managing the water and soil, but this exorcist and ghost hunter is very difficult for him, so he has to go to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship God? But the City God Temple has long been ineffective, and he can't cut off the child's head with a sword.
When he was at a loss, the captain next to him leaned into Chen Shanhai's ear and said, "If you want to let that sloppy Taoist priest in the city come over and take a look, maybe there is a way." ”
"That's right, Ning Shu! Go to the East Market and invite Dao Ye over. ”
......
......
Not long after, a Taoist priest outside the door who was covered in oil and his Taoist robe was extremely tattered walked in, with the smell of alcohol, and his body still exuded some rancid smell, and he didn't know how many days ago the leftover food was spilled on his body, and there was no fairy wind bone at all.
I don't know which tavern Ning Shu pulled out, shouting pain on his mouth, and complaining about the strength of his hands.
The moment he saw Ji Qingniu, the drunken spirit suddenly dispersed for eight points, and the remaining two points were forcibly discharged through sweat, soaking the entire robe.
"What the hell!"
The sloppy Taoist priest screamed, turned around and wanted to run, and then was driven back by Chen Shanhai with a sword.
The sloppy Taoist stepped forward, first looked at the situation of the green cow, and then asked for the most ordinary, very common copper coin in the entire god dynasty from Ning Shu's hand, and put it on the forehead of the green cow, and recited a few words that seemed to be poetry and not poetry, and the green cow gradually quieted down, and the blood in his eyes gradually disappeared, but he was still a little sluggish.
Immediately afterward, he asked what happened, and when he heard that a transparent person wanted to get into the body of the green cow, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "After a person dies, the essence returns to the sky, the body returns to the earth, and the soul returns to the six realms of reincarnation." ”
Ning Shu and everyone listened on the side, and some people didn't understand, so someone asked what the transparent shadow was?
The sloppy Taoist explained: "This kind of thing is the resentment of human death, and it has not entered the reincarnation since the day of birth, and it should be called an evil ghost, and the legend only exists on the Huangquan Road, and it should not have appeared in the world, which ...... It's counterintuitive. ”
With that, he looked up at the sky.
Ning Shu also followed, blue as a wash, and there was nothing.
"So how do you fix it?"
Chen Shanhai looked at the sluggish green cow in front of him, and thought to himself, is there really a Huangquan Road in the world?
"It stands to reason that ghosts don't compete with people, yin and yang are different, but the child Qingniu is a rare body of fortune, which must have attracted the evil ghost to take his body. There is a way, but it is necessary to change the child's surname to the national surname, and the engraved card is close to the body, and the body of fortune is borrowed from the blessing of the national fortune of the gods, which can ensure a worry-free future. "The sloppy Taoist came up with a solution.
Chen Shanhai gasped, in addition to the royal blood, in this world, how can anyone dare to use the national surname, not to say whether to commit a crime or not, just this national fortune ordinary people are afraid that they will also lose their lives, but I heard that this child does not seem to be an ordinary person, and then think about it, human life is at stake, and Ping'an City is far away, it is a big deal to be found and change it back, it is important to save people.
So I asked the opinion of Qingniu's parents, changed the surname Li to the surname Ji, and carved the life card by the sloppy Taoist, and within a few days, Qingniu has improved, and then asked, I only felt that I had experienced a dream.
......
......
"What are you thinking?"
"Is the gentleman leaving?"
"Hmm. ”
Ning Shu nodded, he didn't tell the others, but it seemed that many people knew.
"The neighbors all know in their hearts that a person as powerful as Mr. should not only spend his life in a safe city. ”
Ji Qingniu seemed to know what Ning Shu was thinking.
......
......
The heavy wheels of the carriage ran over the green bricks of the city, and the tender grass growing in the cracks of the bricks was so crushed that it could not lift its head, and it looked out of place in the wild season of all things in the south.
The caravan traveled by water and traveled north along the Jing River through Quzhou to Los Angeles.
The boatmen were carrying the goods from the wagons, and the whole ship looked magnificent, like a pavilion, with three floors, and it seemed to be able to accommodate a hundred people.
Chen Shanhai was talking to a person who looked like a team leader, and the middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe smiled and nodded at Ning Shu, the dark gold wrench on his hand reflecting a bright luster in the morning light.
"That's Mr. Song, the leader of the caravan, it's a long way to go, just tell him if you need anything, and I've already taken care of it. You take this money, Los Angeles is the imperial capital, and there are many places where you need to use money, so you can spend it, don't let them think that our Ping'an City is a poor and remote country. Chen Shanhai said as he stuffed a bag into Ning Shu's hand.
Ning Shu weighed it with his hand, slightly heavi, and his heart couldn't help but be touched, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After nodding, he put it in his bag.
Today's Heian City is surprisingly lively, and the people in the city get up very early, standing on both sides of the pier and looking at a big ship that is about to sail out of the city gate, looking up and looking around.
"Child, you remember to come back often, the fish made by the emperor's family is definitely not as delicious as your Aunt Wu's. The woman clasped one of Ning Shu's hands with both hands, and also wanted to stuff a few pieces of broken silver into it.
"You uneducated mother-in-law, can the emperor eat the fish caught in our river? The emperor eats the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, Mr. Ning, don't blame her, you should eat and drink, take care of yourself." Uncle Wu, who was fishing, scolded, but he didn't stop Aunt Wu from stuffing money.
Ning Shu scratched his head, and hurriedly waved his hand while agreeing, he was afraid that if he continued, the two enthusiastic elders would have to let him carry a basket of fish that he had caught yesterday. Because he also saw a sack of eggs in the hands of the other villagers, and even a big rooster with his neck stretched out.
Even the sloppy Taoist from the east city of the city came, his eyes flashing, as if he was hesitating about something.
Seeing that Ning Shu was about to get on the boat, the sloppy Taoist stomped his feet, squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward, pulled Ning Shu aside, and took out a yellowed book from his arms.
The sloppy Taoist priest patted Ning Shu's shoulder hard, and said in a deep voice: "Old Dao, I also watched you grow up as a little child, not to mention anything else, just say that I have also rubbed you a few meals, who would have thought that you would leave this time, and I don't have any money to pay back to you." Old Taoist priest, I have no other pursuit in my life, I just want to walk the road of immortality, but my talent is really dull, and I haven't stepped into the threshold even if a copy of "Zhibei Jing" is rotten. ”
"Don't think I don't know what you want to do with my fortune teller every three or five times, your careful thinking has long been seen through by the old way, my fortune telling has never been accurate, but I always feel that you will have a great future this time, you take this "Zhibei Jing", it's useless to let me go, just ask you not to forget the old way when he learns every day. ”
The sloppy Taoist priest explained a few more words to Ning Shu, but it was nothing more than an emphasis on the secret that the master did not pass on, and then let Ning Shu go on the boat.
The students in the school also had a rare day off today, and under the leadership of Chen Nian'an, they also came to the shore in white scholar uniforms, looked at Ning Shu on the boat, and waved their hands in unison.
Ji Qingniu stood on the shore and waved his hand and shouted, "Sir, let's go." ”
Then he performed an extremely standard discipleship ceremony.
Ning Shu never talked much, and he couldn't say anything about Top Gun, and the words he got from reading on weekdays were useless, so he could only stand on the bow of the boat and bow to the shore to return the salute.
Everyone knows that today is the day when Mr. Xuetang Ning is going to leave for Los Angeles, and they are waving goodbye and making a lot of noise. It's false to say that he is not sad, but he is more excited, thinking that the people he knows will be knighted in the future, and even watching him grow up and eat at his own house, how energetic he is.
The people of Ping'an City had no doubt that Ning Shu would have a brilliant achievement in the future.
They have always believed in it.
Youths should travel far away with wind and rain
He will return in abundance.
