Chapter 217: What was done back then, what happened today
"Although I am just a reckless, but after all, I was born in the army, and I have been a city lord here for so many years, and I still have the ability to see people, where is your temperament like those pedantic scholars, but I am afraid that it is not a fairy master who came out of the famous mountains and rivers. ”
Chen Shanhai didn't know the true identities of the three people opposite, he just regarded them as cultivators, as a traditional soldier of the Divine Dynasty, even if the lord of Kunlun Immortal Palace came to him, he would not kneel down in fear like those monarchs of the southern countries, so in the face of the three people who sacrificed wine, he just performed ordinary rituals, and directly pointed out the identity of their cultivators.
"General Chen really has good eyesight, and I can't hide it, we are indeed cultivators. The sacrificial wine smiled and did not speak, and Ji Chaosheng responded on behalf of Houshan.
Chen Shanhai squinted his slightly drunk eyes, ignoring Ji Chaosheng's words at all, he rubbed the cup in his hand while talking to himself.
"If you want to say that Ning Shu is a child, I know best, I even know how many worms he has in his stomach, that little bastard has no fucking conscience, he caused all kinds of trouble when he was a child, and in the end I helped wipe his ass, what used a slingshot to hit the son of the Xu family in the north of the city, and what used a cannon to fry fish...... In the end, he ran faster than anyone else, and I pointed to him to give me a pension. ”
"Not only did he not say anything about it, but he was also stubborn, stubborn, and stubborn, the king of the trading house took an extra room of concubines, this little bastard actually threw bricks on people's heads, even if people were forcibly married, but they couldn't do things like this, and then let him apologize, and he also reprimanded me, the remarks of the scholar are one by one, and the reading is amazing? The little rabbit cub is really not big or small......"
Rough words such as little rabbit cub and little bastard filled the words, coupled with the thick voice of the middle-aged man, the whole banquet room reverberated with beautiful words.
Even Ji Chaosheng, who has always been known for his elegance, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, but he had no opinion on the sacrificial wine, but asked about the details from time to time, and then toasted Chen Shanhai with a glass.
There was a lot of disgust in that matter, but at the same time, he could see that he cared about Ning Shu.
"This child has never seen his parents since he was a child, he was brought to Ping'an City by an old scholar to settle down, and he can be regarded as a poor background. Chen Shanhai sighed and said: "So I have always treated him as my own son, he is not bad, he is outstanding among his peers, and I am also very pleased." ”
"I served in the Quzhou Army, and later was transferred here as the city lord, I have seen a lot of people who claim to be geniuses, but they are not as impressive as Ning Shu's child, he worked under me when he was six years old, if it is about conduct and qualifications, it is all superior, if you want to talk about shortcomings, it is probably not very talkative, in fact, there are many things in your heart. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Shanhai's eyes brightened, and he saluted towards the sacrificial wine with his fists, and then said: "Several of them are immortal masters, presumably Ning Shu's child has also embarked on the path of cultivation, so I will ask you to take care of it in the future." ”
"Naturally. Gu Weiwei nodded when he heard this.
"Actually, I could have thought that he would embark on the path of cultivation, after all, many people say that he has talent, so he left Ping'an City to see the bigger world. ”
"This kid is really, the letter sent back doesn't say anything about the practice, he thinks that this way we can not worry about him, it's really ...... Immature. ”
He shook his head, drank the wine from his glass, and closed his eyes and fell down on the table.
"I can go out under Chen Shanhai's subordinates to go out such a character...... Can he do well...... I'm not worried...... Pension or something...... Just come back and see. He muttered incoherently.
It is very strange that Chen Shan was born in the navy and fought on the battlefield for the Divine Dynasty, and the amount of alcohol that the sons of Xi Wuhan drank was called the amount of Shanghai, and as the lord of the city, he often went to banquets over the years, even if he was the strongest double steamed, he had never been drunk, but at the moment he was like a pedantic scholar who was not strong enough to drink.
If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, and that's right.
"Let's go, the home visit is over. Satsuri stood up and smiled satisfied.
It happened that Ning Anyi walked in with Ji Chaoyue in her arms, and the two whispered to each other, and it seemed that the relationship had made a qualitative leap in this short period of time.
"How...... Drunk so much?"
Seeing that his father was drunk, Ning Anyi rubbed his eyes, looking incredible.
"Happy!" laughed, stroked his beard and said, "Let's go." ”
"Huh?"
Ning Anyi was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly asked, "Are the gentlemen leaving, don't you stay a few more days?"
"Hmm...... We're going somewhere else. Ji Chaosheng nodded and said, "There has been Miss Lao Ning these days." ”
"No hassle, no hassle. Ning Anyi waved his hand and said.
Looking at the red ribbon tied around the girl's hair, the sacrificial wine asked with interest, "Girl, where did you get this ribbon?"
Ning Anyi touched his hair and replied, "I don't know either, but Ning Shu had it when he picked me up outside the city, maybe it was left to me by my parents." ”
"Here's to you. ”
I don't know when, there was an extra jade pendant in the hand of the sacrificial wine and handed it to Ning Anyi's hand.
"You and I are destined, you hold this jade piece, if you encounter any disasters in the future, this jade piece can keep you safe. ”
The jade piece is drop-shaped, with a thin tip on the top and a full bottom, bent into an arc, but it is half of the yin and yang fish.
Ning Anyi was about to refuse, and when he returned the jade piece to the sacrificial wine, when he looked up, he found that there was already no one in front of him.
......
......
Outside the city of Ping'an, on the mountain of Qingcheng.
It's the same as when I first arrived, except this time I was looking at the small city at night.
The lights of the city were bright, and the noise of the bustle seemed to be able to reach the hill outside the city.
"See what?" asked the priest, turning his back to them.
Gu Weiwei said in a deep voice: "That person is here." ”
"Not really. Samuel shook his head.
Ji Chaosheng pondered for a moment and replied, "This city is extraordinary. ”
The sacrificial wine shook his head again, and then looked at Ji Chaoyue.
"I don't see anything magical...... Ji Chaoyue scratched her head and replied, "But I talked a lot with Ning Anyi...... I think Uncle Xiao needs a home. ”
"Wonderful. ”
He looked at the land standing on the hill and saw the outline of the entire city with the naked eye, and nodded in affirmation.
Ji Chaosheng remembered the scene when he first met Ning Shu in front of Tianya View, at that time, the students who entered the building to read often walked in pairs, only Ning Shu was alone, and he was walking alone by the lake, he saw Ning Shu like this first, and then noticed the purple butterfly on his shoulder.
"Is the little junior brother lonely?" he asked, frowning.
Sacrificial wine shook his head again and said: "Everyone in this world is born a person, just look at what he has experienced the day after tomorrow, these will affect his next development, but the world is very impermanent, it is obvious that what Ning Shu's child has experienced at this age is beyond the ordinary law." ”
"He wanted to try to change that, which is why he chose to leave the city and find us. ”
The sacrificial wine looked at the stars dotted in the night, as if he saw the young man standing alone on the ground, looking up at the changes in the clouds in the sky, he said with emotion: "When your little junior brother was walking on the edge of life and death, I went to his perception heaven and earth to find him, this is a child whose fate is not up to him, or our fate is actually not in our own hands, it's just a matter of how much, but Ning Shu has more things wrapped around his body than any of us, the more he wants to break free, the tighter the thread will be entangled." ”
Ji Chaosheng fell silent when he heard this, and then said worriedly: "I really want to help him." ”
"Even the teacher can't interfere in this matter, everything can only be chosen by himself. ”
......
......
Qingxi Town is very lively, today is the day to worship the river god, the sound of firecrackers crackled, people on the side of the road while covering their ears, while happily watching the procession passing through the middle of the road.
Since the Heaven Swallowing King in the storm was killed a few days ago, the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the people of Qingxi Town have dispersed.
In addition to a big sacrifice in Nanlian Village and the renovation of the River Temple, the people in Qingxi Town also regained the tradition of sacrifice, and under the shaking of Mr. Feng Shui's head, they chose today as a good day to worship the gods.
Every household has a brand new statue of the river god and prays that they will be protected by the river god every day to come.
The streets were already crowded and the streets were not spacious, and as the number of people grew, there were more and more children leaning on the pillars, leaning on the door panels, and sitting on the shoulders of their parents.
The gongs and drums shook the sky, and I don't know if it was because the sound was too loud, or because the doorpost was leaned on by many people, and the tiles on the eaves trembled slightly, and then slipped down.
The tile is the size of a human head, and the weight is very solid, with the sound of breaking wind, it falls in an arc.
There happened to be a child watching the bustle in the middle of the street, unaware.
When the child's mother saw the tiles, they were already falling on the child's head.
It seems that there is about to appear on the scene of a long street of corpses.
"Ding"
With a soft sound, the tile changed direction strangely and slammed diagonally into the trunk of a tree on the side.
"The river god has appeared!"
Someone in the crowd witnessed this and shouted excitedly.
The occurrence of this scene made the original ceremony of worshipping the river god more lively.
Ning Shu didn't know that the teacher he had never really met took the back mountain down the mountain to Ping'an City for a home visit, he was standing on the roof at the moment, looking at the bustle on the street, feeling the power of faith in his body that was as thick as a river, and sighed helplessly.
The sacrifice was so big that almost everyone in the town came to see it.
Specialized wizards, as well as officials from the Minami Country, came, and there was a long sacrificial speech, which was more formal than on the river embankment that day.
Not only the worldly people, but also the practitioners from the neighborhood also came here.
One of them sneered contemptuously: "Oh, what a bullshit river god, I think it's just coveting the power of faith within a radius of ten miles." ”
