Chapter 1: Fall
The clouds were like lead, and a light rain was falling from the gloomy sky, and it was only noon, and it was as dark as if it were going to night.
In front of a desolate mound knelt a handsome man, the man was thin, his lips were thin, but there was no blood at the moment, the red mole as big as a mung bean in the center of his eyebrows was particularly conspicuous, he was wearing a gray cloth robe, and his big eyes were full of mist, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
"Mother, you died too unjustly, it's all my fault, if it weren't for Mingqi's willfulness, my mother wouldn't have died......"
The man cried freely in the rain, his voice a little hoarse, and was soon drowned out in the rain.
"Young Master, Young Master, where are you? Young Master......
In the rain, a young man with an oil-paper umbrella looked around in a panic, walked through a verdant forest, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young man kneeling in front of the grave in the distance, and then trotted all the way past, stepping on the puddle and splashing strings of mud.
"Young master, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave. ”
The boy arrived behind the young man, most of the oil-paper umbrellas hung above the man's head to protect him from the rain, and at the same time looked around, his chest rose and fell violently, and his face revealed a little horror.
Bai Mingqi wiped a handful of tears, with a stupid expression on his face, his snow-white teeth grinned, and suddenly sneered: "My mother is dead, my home has been occupied, I have no power to fight back now, it is better to die, if I die, I may be able to see my mother, Azhu, you go, I don't want to drag you down." ”
Ah Zhu gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, knelt next to Bai Mingqi, and said in a firm tone: "If the young master doesn't leave, Ah Zhu won't go either, young master, wait for the time, when the time is ripe, everything that belongs to the young master can be taken back, if the young master dies, how can he be worthy of the master's mother? The master's mother exhausted her efforts to bring us out, that guy just wants the young master's body, if he is allowed to succeed, then who else can control him?"
Bai Mingqi listened to Ah Zhu's words, his eyes fell on him, and he muttered: "I knew that this was the case, I volunteered to donate my body, and my mother and subordinates would not have died tragically." ”
"Young Master!"
Ah Zhu was angry, suddenly stretched out his hand, and slapped a palm behind Bai Mingqi, Bai Mingqi's eyes were black and fainted, and Ah Zhu picked him up and went away.
Bai Mingqi woke up with a terrible headache, he slowly opened his eyes, and found himself lying in the quilt, defenseless, his skin was pale and terrible, his head turned over, and found that this was an inn with extremely simple furnishings, and there seemed to be a musty smell in the air, exuding a rotten smell, which made his chest dull and wanted to vomit.
"Young master, you finally woke up, your clothes were wet, I helped you take them off, because you went out in a hurry, and there were not many silver belts, so you can only live in a simple inn, wronged young master." ”
Ah Zhu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Bai Mingqi, carefully wrapped his body in the quilt, and said softly.
Took a sip of hot tea, this tea was astringent in the mouth, it was really inferior, but he had to swallow it, remembering the rain before the Longjing that he used to drink, he sighed in a low voice, and Bai Mingqi, who came back to his senses, stared at Ah Zhu and said, "Ah Zhu, thank you very much, where is this?"
Ah Zhu heard Bai Mingqi's praise, scratched his loose hair, and said with a smirk: "This is Wuyang Town, and it is still more than a month away from Qingcheng Mountain." ”
As soon as he heard Qingcheng Mountain, Bai Mingqi's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was about to say something, but he was unexpectedly interrupted by Ah Zhu.
"Young master, I know what you're thinking, although the master mother was driven out at the beginning and cut off contact with Qingcheng, but now it's about life, and only when we arrive in Qingcheng can we save our lives. ”
Ah Zhu said categorically, and at the same time sighed: "Young master, you have suffered a little cold, I have already instructed the shopkeeper to boil medicine, today is Qingming, young master just stay here with peace of mind and don't go out, the inventory in my hand is running out, if there are three long and two short, we can't support Qingcheng." ”
Bai Mingqi nodded, and after drinking the hot tea, he retracted into the quilt, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There are few pedestrians on the streets of Wuyang Town, and almost every house has its gate closed, but there is a man in a mocky walking in the rain.
"Linfu Inn, it seems that we can only rest here today. ”
The man in the cloak looked at the dilapidated signboard and the swaying lantern in the dim, frowned, and walked into the inn with his feet raised.
"Is the guest officer sharpened or staying in the hotel?"
Seeing that someone is coming again, the yellow and thin shopkeeper's mouth is about to grin to the root of his ears, this Wuyang Town has always been crowded, but today there are guests staying in the hotel one after another, how not to make him feel good?
"Stay in the store, bring me a pound of braised beef, a cage of steamed buns, and five taels of flower carving. ”
The man in the cloak took off his hat, sat down at a table, and spoke coldly.
The shopkeeper glanced at the man, and was stunned for a moment, only to see a manly manhood, with a wooden hairpin inserted in his bun, but one end of the hairpin was engraved with Tai Chi, and he carried a wooden sword behind his back, and a jade flute pinned to his waist, dressed very strangely.
"Why, Taoist priests can't eat meat and drink alcohol?"
The man had evil in his eyes, but he just glared at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper felt like falling into an ice cellar, and his body trembled.
"Hurry up and serve the food, don't make the guest wait. ”
In the end, the shopkeeper was well-informed, scolded Xiao Er, and then ran over to compensate for it.
At this time, it was already dinner time, Ah Zhu walked down with Bai Mingqi in his arms, Ah Zhu glanced at the lobby, and found that there were people sitting next to the small number of tables, and suddenly became angry, and said: "Xiao Er, is your inn still doing business? At this time, when it's dinner time, don't you ask me and my young master to stand up to eat?"
Originally, he was eating in the room, but the damp musty smell really made Bai Mingqi feel bored, and besides, he had been clothed and fed since he was a child, if he hadn't been in trouble now, he would never have yielded so much.
Xiao Er's face was full of embarrassment, and after the shopkeeper swept around, his eyes fell on the young man with the wooden sword on his back, and there was only this man at the table, and he was about to walk over, but unexpectedly, Bai Mingqi walked towards the man.
"This brother, I don't know if I can set up a table?"
As soon as Bai Mingqi finished speaking, his lungs itched, and he immediately coughed a few times, and when he saw the man raise his head, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and his face turned red.
The man raised his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Mingqi, his eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly.
Ah Zhu also sat aside at Bai Mingqi's signal, looked at the man curiously, and couldn't help but speak: "Daoist, haven't you violated the precepts of the monks, and it's the first time I've seen a Taoist priest eat meat and drink wine." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, staring at Ah Zhu with a cold gaze: "I am dead, and I still have a mind to meddle in things." ”
The voice was very magnetic, but it made Ah Zhu's heart tremble, and he looked at the young Taoist priest with a wary face.
"There are some doorways, I don't know what brother Tai inherits?"
Bai Mingqi naturally knew that he and Ah Zhu were injured by the demon that day, and Ah Zhu was inevitably contaminated with a lot of yin and evil death qi in order to save himself, this guy could see through it at a glance, it seemed that there were some doorways, and he immediately had a plan.
