Volume 1 The Boy's Walk Chapter 37 The sky is sunny after the rain
This heavy rain came suddenly, and it went very quickly. The raindrops that were still the size of beans at the last moment were as dense as pillars, and the next moment the wind and rain disappeared suddenly, leaving only a cool breeze.
When Qiu Ye and Chang Fox left the Red Silk Workshop, they met a middle-aged scribe who had been poured into soup and hurriedly walked towards the building. What kind of thing could make a Confucian scholar of Svenwen not care about his image in such a hurry? If Qiu Ye learned that this person was one of the two most powerful people in the city one night ago, he would definitely drop his jaw. This Mr. Qi, who used to never leave his book and never seemed to panic when encountering problems, is now like a dog, but he is just trying to survive.
Qiu also looked at the sky that had turned up the white belly of the fish, touched the belly that was already gurgling, and thought that it would not be too late to find a place to eat something before going to the Erwang Temple to see Wei Xuancheng.
As soon as Qiu Ye walked out of Baole Lane, he saw a sloppy old Taoist walking towards him with a smile, and the old Taoist was also followed by the tall man wearing a purple official mansion and a crown of five mountains.
"Little Daoyou, you can let me wait. Do you know how worried you are about you when Poor Dao stayed up all night last night? β
Qiu also looked at the saliva stains left by the old Taoist's mouth from sleeping, and laughed in his heart, you should wipe the saliva clean first with your lies.
"There is a chief of labor who is worried. β
"Where, where. I know a good breakfast stall, let's try it. β
"Dao Leader won't pee this time, will he?"
"Where, last time it was an accident, and this time my nephew paid for it. He's a big man, so you just have to work hard for a while. β
βγγγγγγ β
Before the early shop, the sloppy old Taoist didn't care whether he finished eating or not, and still ordered a lot of various breakfast items.
The sloppy old Taoist who was about to start sneezed heavily, raised his eyes to look south, and reached out his hands from under the wide Taoist robe, and his five fingers were like flying, and he suddenly ran away and rushed north. "Little Daoyou, I'm in a hurry to take a step ahead! Xiao Gaozi, you will pay the bill in a while, and entertain the visitors well, don't be lazy!"
Qiu Ye shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, fortunately, this tall man was responsible for paying the bill this morning, otherwise he had a total of two meals in this city, would it be difficult to eat the overlord meal?
Although Gao Yangzhi was confused, he still respectfully fell to the ground in the direction of the sloppy old Taoist priest's departure: "Obey the decree of the senior uncle!
As soon as the sloppy old Taoist priest walked on the front foot, a woman in white holding a long flag with the word "Bu" in her hand came from the south and floated in. "Where's your uncle?"
The woman was dressed in white, she couldn't tell her age, and she simply tied a bun on her head and inserted a hairpin diagonally. Although it is a simple attire, it is indescribably graceful and elegant.
When Gao Yangzhi saw the woman in white, he immediately understood why Uncle Shi ran so fast just now, and he only hated that his brain was turning slowly and he couldn't run away with Uncle Shi.
"Fairy Lu, Uncle Shi and his old man have some urgent matters to deal with, so they take the first step. β
"Oh?" the woman known as Fairy Lu raised her eyebrows slightly, showing that she didn't believe what Gao Yang said. looked at the direction in which the sloppy old Taoist priest left, and then turned his head to look at Qiu Ye and Chang Li. "I see, the time has not yet come, it is better to make up a hexagram first! Little one, you are lucky today, come and let me give you a hexagram. As he spoke, he threw the long flag in his hand to Gao Yangzhi, who was standing respectfully on the side, and didn't care whether Qiu Ye agreed, and then turned his wrist, and there were already three more copper coins in his palm.
The woman in white was casual for a while, and the three copper coins in her hand jumped high, and then caught the copper coins with the back of her hand. "Humility, Heng, a gentleman has an end! Yes. β
The woman in white took the long banner with the word "Bu" from Gao Yangzhi's hand, turned around and walked towards the way she came. "Just now I made up a hexagram for your uncle by the way, rushing to the north of the dragon. β
Leaving a bewildered mound also standing on the spot, what is this? Why don't these masters like to chat under the waterfall. I just like to suddenly appear to tell people hexagrams, and then leave without saying a word, such a mastery is really impossible to learn. Regardless of him, he will eat a full stomach first, and Qiu also grabbed a big bun and stuffed it into his mouth, well?
Looking at the back of the woman in white leaving, Gao Yang's heart thought that his uncle's Taoism was strong, and his fortune calculation was unparalleled. How can you, a monk from Fangwai Valley, do the divination for my uncle?
On the outskirts of Jingcheng, the sloppy old road was running wildly, and suddenly stumbled forward and fell. Falling into the mud, the old Taoist priest spit out the muddy water in his mouth, sat cross-legged on the ground, his fingers were like flying, and scolded at the south for a long time: "Lu Zhen, you crow's mouth!" Although it was a scolding word, the tone was full of helplessness and pity.
The old Taoist sitting on the ground seemed to suddenly think of something, and slapped his thigh and said. "Oh no, I forgot to ask Xiao Daoyou for that sign. β
At this moment, she was walking on the road to the south, and the woman in white, whose real name was Lu Zhen, remembered the scene when she first met him many years ago, when she was a little girl, and millions of people were displaced by the floods in Gangnam Province. I followed my master down the mountain to Jiangnan Province to save people, and met him at the then Jiangnan Provincial Governor Chen Xuanli, who was not what he is now.
At that time, he had just done a great thing, saving countless victims, and for a time he had a reputation among the people of Jiangnan Province, and was known as a living immortal-like existence. In the mountains and lakes, he became famous and was admired and pursued by countless fairies and beauties.
But she doesn't care about this, he is cynical in the eyes of others, but in her eyes she sees only sadness, indelible sadness, because of great compassion.
At that time, she was only eleven or twelve years old, but she felt sorry for him who could turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
Later, when she was older, she went to him. said that he wanted to marry him, but he did not refuse or accept, but used three copper coins to divinate a hexagram, saying that the two would not die well when they were together.
She said she didn't care, but he said he did.
Then she said that she wanted him to keep the three ancestral copper coins as a souvenir. He didn't refuse, he just said that for the sake of each other's good, it was best not to see each other again in this life.
She didn't agree, she held the three copper coins in her hand tightly and shouted to him who was far away, these three coins were dowry, she accepted them, and waited for her to marry her.
This is twenty years, she follows wherever he goes, but he always avoids her.
Then it was another twenty years, and she followed him wherever he went, and although he still avoided her, she was used to it.
Since you're avoiding me, I'll find a way for you to come out and see me on your own. I will harm the person you want to save, I will save the person you want to kill, I will step on what you want to die, I will hold you to death, and I will hold you to death if you want to step on it, and one day you will come out to see me by yourself.
The little Taoist priest in the Red Silk Workshop? Does it matter if you are a proud disciple of Taiping Mountain or the troubled son of the emperor Lao'er? As long as you are targeted by him, you will also be targeted by me, whether it is a blessing or a curse, you can only blame yourself for being found by that old thing.
"A humble gentleman, with a big river. β
Thinking of this, this white-clothed Lu Zhen was in a good mood, and actually hummed an unknown tune that was hummed by children on the street when they were playing in Jiangnan Province that year. "Whose handsome little lady is this~ Thinking about the lover~ I can't sleep in the middle of the night~ Just waiting for the lover to come to the door~ Why hasn't the lover returned yet~
γγγγγγ β
Jingcheng captured the ya, had already said goodbye to Qiu Ye and others, and Gao Yangzhi, who had changed back into a Taoist robe, hung the seal ribbon on the plaque in the yatang, and only brought a peach wood sword with him to hang diagonally on his back, which was the same when he came and went too. After so many years of waiting for that sign to appear, now that the brand has appeared, but he doesn't need to do anything, Gao Yang's heart has no complaints, resentment. I just feel relaxed, and I can finally get out of this mud pond that has trapped me for nearly 20 years.
There was still a person standing next to Gao Yangzhi, who was the one who had just taught a lesson to the at the entrance of Baole Lane.
"Mao Xiang, you have paid off the matter of saving your mother's life that day, and after tonight, you and I will clear up, and there will be no more to do with it. Gao Yangzhi, who was light and had nothing to do, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the fast-catcher who was called the iron coat next to him. "You have worked hard in the past few years, I will send you a chance before parting, if you have the heart to advance to the official career. You can go to Yuzhou and find a person named Chen Weinan. Don't say I told you to go. Find a way to stay by his side to do things, he is at the time of employing people, as long as he concentrates on diligence, he will have the opportunity to get the credit in less than five years. β
"Tall manγγγγγγγ β
"I'm not an adult anymore. β
"Gao Zhenren, if you hadn't rescued my mother back then, how could I have the opportunity to fulfill my filial piety during my mother's lifetime. Mao has been taken care of by you for so many years, and I always feel your kindnessγγγγγγγ Mao Xiang cried bitterly as he spoke, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Yangzhi three times.
Gao Yangzhi turned sideways slightly, and did not accept Mao Xiang's gift. "Mao Xiang, you and I have run out of fate. Although your career is smooth, but the karma is too heavy, I have already taken the risk of showing you the way out, so don't mix too much cause and effect with me. Let's go!"
Mao Xiao listened to Gao Yangzhi's words, didn't say much, got up and hugged Gao Yangzhi, his eyes were cold, as if he had just cried. "Take care!" he turned around and left, without any luggage, but carrying a narrow knife called "Xiuchun" with him.
Looking at the back of Mao Xiang, who had resolutely left, Gao Yangzhi sighed softly. Turning north, he walked in the direction of the sloppy old man leaving.
"On the tenth day of the first month, the lost star is on duty, and the north is in the north!"
As for the Jinyi Guard established by Mao Xiang, who has been called "human slaughter" by the world ten years later, how many lives and blood were used to exchange for the terrifying prestige of the temple and the government and the opposition is a later story.

On a mass grave outside the city. There were a hundred and ten corpses piled up, all of which had died in the civil strife in the city last night, and they were too dead to die anymore.
A few handymen who were in charge of disposing of the corpses suddenly ran away. It turned out that a person suddenly crawled out of the pile of dead people, and it was Yang Shiqi who was twisted by Wu Bao in the Red Silk Workshop that day.
"I treat you like a brother, but you want to kill me. Worthy of the person I am optimistic about. β
Yang Shiqi stretched his waist and twisted his neck slightly.
