Chapter 11: The Dream of the Fairy

The waning moon slanted to the west, and the night was as cool as water.

The three of them rode westward, walked more than ten miles, and came to the trap again. The three of them dismounted, led the horses and walked away slowly, no longer daring to be careless, if they fell into the trap again, it would be a big trouble.

After walking four or five miles, the three of them were relieved and were about to get on their horses, but they saw a man galloping from afar, and when he saw the three of them, he shouted: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts......

The three of them were curious, stopped the man, and asked, "Where are the ghosts?"

The man was shocked, pointed to the northwest with his hand, and said, "It's in that broken temple." ”

With that, he shook off his hand and ran away. This person is a gambler, lost all his money in the middle of the night, on the way back, ready to go to the temple to ask the monk for some incense money, just pushed open the temple door and walked in, he saw a demon, green face and fangs, to him fangs and claws, he was so frightened that he ran out of the temple gate, and then ran all the way.

Leng Yuhu and the three of them have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they are all a little curious about what ghosts they have seen, and they decided to go to the temple to have a look.

The three of them rode to the northwest, and after a while, they saw a small temple under the moonlight. The three of them came to the temple gate, got off the horse, looked at the temple, and wrote "Bamboo Forest Temple". The three of them were bold and bold, so they pushed open the hidden temple door and walked in. By the moonlight, I looked at the front and back of the temple, this is a ruined temple, there are no traces, broken walls and broken windows, Buddha statues are upside down, cobwebs are dusty, where is the shadow of ghosts? I think that the person came to the broken temple at night, he was frightened by the hideous Buddha statues.

The three of them mounted their horses and continued to walk forward, and the chirping of wild chickens could be heard in the distance.

In the morning, Leng Yuhu rode westward. Taihang Mountain is already in front of you, only to see the mountain peaks overlapping and overlapping, deep and slender, dense forests, and the color of the green sky seems to be forced in front of people's eyes. At the foot of the mountain is the county seat of Zhengkang, and the three of them pulled their horses into the city.

At noon, eat in a small restaurant.

The restaurant was full. There were a few diners at the next table who were talking in whispers. Leng Yuhu and the three listened attentively, and sure enough, the sound of their conversation came.

One humanitarian: "The relief grain of the imperial court was robbed in our county a few days ago. ”

"Yes, I've heard about it too, I don't know if it's true or not?"

This morning, a good friend of mine told me in the yamen. ”

"Do you know who robbed it?"

"I didn't ask about that. ”

After a while, another voice said slowly, "I'll just say that you are not well-informed." I found out who robbed it......

The people waited for a while, but when they didn't see him continue, they urged him, "You said, you caused us to wait for a long time." ”

The man said, "This is a secret matter of the government, and it can't be said." ”

"Xiao Jiang, you just tell us quietly, and we promise not to say it. ”

Xiao Jiang said: "This is confidential, I can't say it." ”

"Come on, we'll invite you to dinner, you can say it, if you don't say it, I'm still in a hurry. ”

Xiao Jiang said: "Can you talk and count?"

"Why doesn't it count, man, come, settle the account for this table first. ”

The little Jiang stood up, tall, with a small melon seed face, round eyes, a triangular nose, a small mouth, and a sparse beard under his mouth. I saw him standing and leaning forward, several heads bumped together, only to hear him whisper: "It was the cabinet door that closed the cottage and robbed it, and the county government is organizing officers and soldiers to go to the conquest, maybe they will set off tomorrow." It's a confidential matter, you have to keep it a secret. ”

"Confidentiality, confidentiality. ”

The man at the table finished his meal and left the restaurant.

It turned out that the south was hit by a famine, and the hungry people were everywhere, and the imperial court issued a disaster relief. No, a batch of disaster relief grain was robbed by robbers at the cabinet gate through Zhengkang County.

Leng Yuhu and the three of them also left the restaurant, and Leng Yuhu asked, "Brother Chen, do you think that the disaster relief food was robbed by the cabinet door and the cottage?"

Chen Jihong frowned and said: "We have a few cottages in Taihang Mountain, and we will never rob the imperial court of disaster relief food, this is the crime of killing the head, how can we small cottages stand it? Liu Xuejun, the owner of the cabinet door, I know him, he will never do such a thing." The county government wants to expropriate his cottage, let's go and report to him first. Without further ado, we'll go now. ”

Suddenly, someone touched Chen Jihong from behind, he turned his head, and there was an old man standing behind him, who he didn't recognize. The old man smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't you know me?"

When Chen Jihong heard this, he was overjoyed, and said, "You are ......"

The man hurriedly shook his hand, signaled Chen Jihong not to continue, and glanced at Leng Yuhu and the two again, obviously not worried about the two of them.

Chen Jihong said to Leng Yuhu: "Let's go out of the city." ”

Coming to the outside of the city and walking on the mountain road, Chen Jihong said: "Brother Liu, I'm looking for you." This is the fair king of Nantaihang, my friend with all my heart, and we are going to go to Tuguanya together to make a birthday for the master of the village. In this way, everyone is their own person.

This person is Liu Xuejun, the owner of the cabinet door.

Only then did Liu Xuejun erase his disguise and reveal his true face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, dignified appearance, and a dignified appearance.

Liu Xuejun was originally a native of Pijiawa, Henan, a delicate teenager. A few years ago, Liu Xuejun had a strange illness, a high fever that did not go away, and he slept in darkness every day, talking nonsense. The family invited several doctors to come, looked at and heard about it, prescribed some herbs, boiled them for Liu Xuejun to drink, but these medicines were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no news. After falling asleep for seven or eight days in a row, his condition became more and more serious, and finally a doctor he invited shook his head and said, "You should prepare for the future." ”

Father and mother were helpless, and sighed aside.

Late one night, when everything was silent, Liu Xuejun lay on the hospital bed, hot as coals, and slept grogily. Suddenly, a full moon in the night sky slowly fell into the room, brilliant, bright as day, ethereal fragrance, and a beauty walked out of the Guanghan Palace. No need to ask, Liu Xuejun knew that it was Chang'e in the Moon Palace. This Chang'e looks like a character in the painting, graceful like a swimming dragon, fluttering like a frightening dragon, magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely, and the beauty of the fairy is beyond human language to describe.

The house was full of brilliance, delicate, Liu Xuejun felt that his body was as light as a Hong, and he was transparent, Chang'e smiled slightly, although he had never spoken, Liu Xuejun already knew in his heart, and got up and followed Chang'e to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Chang'e turned around, lightly opened her cherry lips, and said in a coquettish voice, and said: "Liu Xuejun, you were originally a god in the sky, because of your mistakes, you were relegated to the mortal world, and now the demons and monsters in the world are rampant, I am afraid that you will be killed, I will teach you swordsmanship now, you can use it to defend yourself, and you must not harm others, otherwise you will never recover." ”

Liu Xuejun listened to Chang'e's words, and suddenly understood the past and present lives, and felt that everything in the past was really like a dream. Chang'e broke off a pine tree and told Liu Xuejun to pick up a wooden stick in the corner.

Chang'e said: "I'll teach you swordsmanship now." ”

Liu Xuejun said: "Okay." ”

The moonlight dissolves, and the sycamore courtyard. Liu Xuejun followed Chang'e to practice swordsmanship, and after learning a few tricks, suddenly the rooster crowed, Liu Xuejun turned around, felt that he was lying on the bed, and opened his eyes urgently, the furnishings in the house were still the same, just now it seemed to be a dream, and he was wondering, and he heard his father and mother crying in a low voice.

Liu Xuejun looked at his father, and his father said: "Xuejun, you woke up, but you were scared to death, you have been asleep for a day." ”

Liu Xuejun said: "I'm fine." Chang'e also taught me swordsmanship in the month. ”

Father and mother touched Liu Xuejun's forehead with her hand, and her forehead was as hot as coals, this child was burned and confused, talking nonsense. Daddy and mother are worried.

Liu Xuejun had a high fever and dreamed that Chang'e was teaching him to practice swordsmanship. I dreamed like this for three nights. On the third night, Chang'e said to him: "You are a good swordsman. Chang'e turned around and walked up to the Moon Palace, and Liu Xuejun said, "Wait for me." He walked towards Chang'e and pulled Chang'e's long sleeves with his hand, but where could he hold it? Looking at the rising moon, Chang'e's face gradually blurred, and the moon rose in mid-air, clear and clear.

Liu Xuejun took a step forward, and suddenly felt that he was still lying on the hospital bed, suddenly dreaming, refreshed, the high fever had subsided, and the whole body was cold.

At this time, it was the second half of the night, Liu Xuejun got up and came to the courtyard, the moon was in the sky, the clear light was all over the ground, the leaves were shaking the wind, the dew was dripping, the scene was still there, and the people were gone.

Liu Xuejun picked up the wooden stick from the corner of the wall, and practiced swordsmanship according to what he learned in his dream. When his father and mother heard the movement, they hurriedly got up, looked through the window, and whispered: "My son has a high fever, and he has been burning for several days, is he crazy?"

The father and mother felt sorry for their son, so they hurriedly ran out and hugged him, hugged him into the house, coaxed him to sleep on the bed, and covered him with a quilt. A stone hanging from the old couple finally fell to the ground.

At dawn, Liu Xuejun got up and walked to the gate of the hospital, and the neighbors were shocked, this child has been burning for several days, and even the doctor can't help it, why is he getting up by himself?

Liu Xuejun said: "I don't have a fever, I'm in a dream, and Chang'e also taught me swordsmanship." ”

The neighbor thought to himself: "This kid's brain is burned out, what a good child, it's a pity." They all shook their heads and sighed.

Liu Xuejun said: "I didn't lie to you, don't believe it, I'll show you." ”

Picking up a withered pine branch from the ground, she practiced swordsmanship, flashing and jumping, like a daughter. Daddy and mother wiped tears from the sidelines.

Suddenly, a ruffian who was watching the excitement laughed, stepped forward, and said, "I'll play with you." ”

This ruffian is usually idle, stealing chickens and touching dogs, and the neighbors are a little afraid of him, so how dare they come forward to persuade him? Father and mother hurriedly ran over to make an arch and said, "He burned out his brain, don't play tricks on him." The ruffian pushed Liu Xuejun's father and mother away, bent down and picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and said, "I won't break him." ”

The ruffian looked at the wooden stick in his hand, broke it with his hand, pointed at Liu Xuejun and said, "Let me see what kind of swordsmanship you have learned? ”

Liu Xuejun held the pine branch and stood still. The ruffian waited for a while, and when he saw that it was not the law, he took the initiative to stab Liu Xuejun with a wooden stick. Liu Xuejun took a pine branch, but before he opened it, the wooden stick stabbed him in the chest, and he felt very painful.

The ruffian laughed and said, "This kid has a fever and burns out his brain. ”

Liu Xuejun was furious, the pine branch in his hand was raised, and he brushed it downward, making a move of "Dragon Girl Shepherd", but he didn't expect that he really brushed a pine branch on the face of the ruffian.

This ruffian suffered a loss, became angry, and hit Liu Xuejun with a wooden stick on his head and face. Liu Xuejun dodged again and again, and was injured in several places. Father and mother ran over, one hugged Liu Xuejun, the other hugged the ruffian, and told him again and again: "His brain is burned out, you can spare him." ”

Liu Xuejun said: "Mother, I'm fine." ”

The ruffian said, "He's not convinced." ”

Liu Xuejun's temper came up: "Do you still dare to fight?"

The ruffian pushed Dad Liu away with one hand and said, "Fight, fight." ”

Holding a wooden stick, he stabbed at Liu Xuejun. Liu Xuejun is no longer as flustered as before, and wants to show all the fairy swordsmanship one move at a time. The ruffian couldn't hit him, but he was hit by a pine branch several times. He was so angry that he threw away the short stick in his hand, ran into the yard, found a long stick, and ran out, and the two fought again. Liu Xuejun used the exquisite fairy swordsmanship, gained the upper hand, and greatly increased his confidence, and took advantage of the swordsmanship learned in the dream "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", "Xiangling Drum", "Magu Offering Longevity", "Jingwei Reclamation", "Chang'e Shu Sleeves", "Tiansun Brocade" were all used one by one, although it was the first time to use, but the moves were wonderful.

Where do the villagers know swordsmanship, they saw that the short stick won the long stick, and the thin boy beat away the ruffian that no one dared to mess with, so they thought that Liu Xuejun was capable, believed what he said, and went to sleep with a fever in order to learn fairy swordsmanship in a dream. Later, the villagers said that he was not a mortal, but that Wu Gang from heaven had descended to earth.

In this way, Liu Xuejun had a high fever, and the story of the fairy sword in the dream school spread far away, Henan is a good martial artist, and people kept challenging him, but they were all defeated by his exquisite swordsmanship.
