Chapter 10 The so-called royal law
Li Facai returned to an inn alone, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a short old man coming to the inn.
"Hey, the old shopkeeper, you are finally back, two days ago I came to the fat sheep was caught by me, and the shot was called a generous, but the official silver of the white flowers. Li Facai immediately greeted him, and invited him with a hippie smile.
The old man glanced at Li Facai and asked, "Why did you go and sneak out to play again, right? ”
As soon as he heard that his wages were going to be deducted, Li Facai's head immediately shook like a rattle, and hurriedly explained: "Old shopkeeper, we just went to see off my brother Mo Shiping, that stinky boy went out for the first time, I can't rest assured, being a big brother, of course, I have to take care of it." You've also seen the one who is black, with a basket on his back, and you praised him for his hard work last time. ”
The old man scratched his head, remembered for a while, and then said, "When did you praise him for his hard work? I remember that he was so hard that he deserved to run around all his life and not enjoy the blessings." ”
"Old shopkeeper, this is not about the same, what are you doing so seriously. ”
The short old man looked around the store, but it was indeed cleaned up, and he didn't look lazy and sloppy. So, he asked more questions for the first time: "Li Facai, have you ever thought about going out of the town to travel?"
Li Facai's eyes rolled, and he secretly said that it was not good, could it be that because of poor business, this old shopkeeper planned to drive himself away, right? That's not good, he is far from making enough money to buy this inn.
Li Facai patted his chest and said in a firm tone: "Old shopkeeper, don't worry, I will stay in this inn for the rest of my life, and I will not go anywhere." ”
"Something that doesn't make a living, you, you'll be guarding this inn for the rest of your life. The old man shook his head and left.
"Okay!" Li Facai happily replied and continued to get busy.
One step out of the inn, the next step has come to the short old man on the top of the big turtle mountain, looking down on this town born because of him, it is inevitable that there is some emotion in the bottom of his heart, in the world, there are countless people like Li Facai. But if the sky changes, how can we see that under the nest, Fu'an has all the eggs? This kind of people who account for the largest proportion in the world will die the most aggrieved, and together with their small life dreams, they will be completely destroyed. No one in the future will remember them as worthless as they died, as if they had never been to the world, this is the real death.
The short old man glanced into the distance and saw a young man with a shriveled bag on his back.
"There is no shortage of genius in the human race, what is lacking is time. ”
In an inn, Li Facai didn't know that he had missed an opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation. But if he knew, he would probably shake his head and refuse.
Since I have the immortal Mo Shiping, then what other immortals do I cultivate, he is my little brother, do you know?
Li Facai also didn't know that the short old man, the old shopkeeper in his mouth, was the only remaining dragon turtle in the world. The dragon turtle is naturally psychic, and most of the words he says will be fulfilled.
For example, you, you've been guarding this inn for the rest of your life.
For example, in that sentence, he worked hard all his life, and he deserved to run around all his life and couldn't enjoy blessings.
The young man with a shriveled bag on his back walked along the official road in the southeast for three days, setting off at sunrise and resting at sunset. Along the way, the boy met many travelers, but they were all passers-by in a hurry. When no one is around, the boy will secretly play a set of Xingyi boxing taught by his grandfather, although it is only a simple six styles, but every time he plays a move, the boy seems to recall the body shape when the grandfather taught boxing. Therefore, the teenager enjoyed the process of boxing.
Finally, as the boy was biting the tenth piece of bread, he saw a small town that was far larger than the town of the turtle, not so much a small town as a city of its own.
Mo Shiping quickly followed the travelers from all over the world to the city gate. The walls are not high, but they are all made of red bricks, so they look quite majestic.
"All lined up and passed one by one. The guards in armor and halberds at the gates shouted.
Every time they passed, the guards would interrogate them, and if there was the slightest suspicion, they would stop them.
When it was Mo Shiping's turn, the solemn-looking guard raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise, "The little doll is alone?"
Mo Shiping nodded: "Well, I'm from Big Turtle Town, and I heard that there is a cultivation sect in Qingluo Town that recruits disciples, so I came here on purpose." ”
The guards looked at him twice, with a dusty face, dressed in sackcloth and long boots, and at a glance he was a poor boy. Thinking of the recent Yuling Sect in Qingluo Town, it is indeed recruiting disciples from outside, and many visitors from other places are also here for this, so the city gate guards have become more strict. However, it is rare for someone like Mo Shiping to come alone at such a young age.
The guard nodded, motioning for the boy to pass.
Mo Shiping hugged his fists and thanked him and entered the city.
The guards sighed a little in their hearts: their own bastard boy is about the same age, and he only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, but this young man has already packed his bags and traveled far away from home, so he must have suffered a lot.
"Alas, the sons of poor families have long been in charge. The guard sighed to himself.
Mo Shiping stopped all the way, this Qingluo Town is indeed very prosperous, and all kinds of shop portals are lined up, which is dazzling.
Suddenly, Mo Shiping saw a stall that was out of step with the surrounding bustling shops.
I saw a clean flannel cloth spread on the stall, and it was full of all kinds of fresh mountain fruits. A child of about seven or eight years old was shouting vigorously in front of the stall, and behind him was a gray-haired old woman sitting on a small stool, looking at the boy with a kind face.
Mo Shiping gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he remembered an old man. It was the same when he was seven or eight years old, and the old man walked in front of him with a basket on his back, and he followed behind and shouted vigorously.
Life was very hard, but Mo Shiping missed it more and more.
"Do you buy fruit for the guest officer, it is sure to be big and sweet, and you don't need money if it's not sweet. The boy saw a young man with a shriveled bag coming to the front of the shop, and hurriedly shouted.
Mo Shiping smiled and nodded, squatted down, picked up a mountain fruit and touched it, and praised: "It's such a fresh fruit, just picked it not long ago, right?" Mo Shiping is also a veteran of picking mountain fruits for many years, so he naturally knows the softness and hardness of mountain fruits when he touches them.
The boy nodded and said happily: "Of course, the guest officer is really a knowledgeable person, only a penny, buy one and try it?"
Mo Shiping took out ten copper plates from his arms, handed them to the boy, and quipped: "Since they all say that I know the goods, then I don't need to buy a few more to taste, such a fresh mountain fruit, if you buy it, you will earn it." ”
The boy took the copper coin, quickly selected eleven large mountain fruits, and handed them to Mo Shiping with a smile: "The book says that there are friends from afar, and they are very happy, and they should do their best to be the landlord." Give the guest officer an extra fruit to quench his thirst. ”
Mo Shiping liked this boy a little, so he reached out and rubbed the boy's hair, and said with a smile: "I remember that the book says that you can learn and learn from time to time, and you don't say that you have friends from afar, and you are happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen? The original meaning of this sentence is not to let you do your best as a landlord." ”
The boy blushed a little embarrassed and whispered, "But I just think that's how I should treat my friends." When I have saved enough money by selling fruit this year, I will enter the school next year, so that it will be like my master asking for advice. ”
"Really, then you must study hard. Mo Shiping was a little envious of the boy, and he also wanted to save money to go to school, but since his grandfather broke his foot that time, he dispelled this idea.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
Mo Shiping turned around and took a look, and found that one after the other, two richly dressed teenagers were galloping towards him, and the pedestrians on the street were so frightened that they dodged to the side.
The young man in the lead naturally saw the stall, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't avoid it.
Mo Shiping didn't say a word, hugged the boy, and flashed to the side.
"Phew!" the young man on horseback pulled the reins suddenly, and the horse came to a sharp stop, and the two forefeet kicked up high, which was quite frightening.
In an instant, the stalls that were originally neatly placed on the ground suddenly turned into a mess, and the mountain fruits shattered to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Mo Shiping glanced at the boy in his arms. If he hadn't taken the boy away, the boy would have been knocked off by the horse.
"Wang Fuyun, Wang Fuyun. The old woman called anxiously. Fortunately, the old woman was relatively backward, so she was able to avoid this unwarranted disaster.
It turns out that this boy's name is Wang Fuyun, which sounds really a good name.
Wang Fuyun looked at the mess all over the ground, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and he bit his lip: "My fruit..."
"Phew!"
At this time, the rear rider also caught up and stopped next to Fang Cai's first ride.
"It's those two brothers from the Lin family. Someone in the crowd whispered.
Suddenly, there was some commotion in the crowd of onlookers.
"What? are those two little devils of the world?"
"Alas, whoever encounters this can only consider himself unlucky, and we are about to disperse. ”
The first to stop, the young man on horseback was the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Ruizhe, and the young man on the horse behind him was his younger brother Lin Ruiming.
The Lin family is a unique business family in Qingluo Town, it is said that even the city wall of Qingluo Town was built at the expense of his family, it can be said that Qingluo Town has today's scenery, and the Lin family is inseparable.
"Big brother, why did you stop?" Lin Ruiming asked a little unhappily.
Lin Ruizhe glanced at the mountain fruits scattered on the ground, and the little boy standing on the side with a face full of grievances, shook his head, pulled the reins, and said, "Let's go, it's really a disappointment." ”
The crowd of onlookers took the initiative to get out of the way, hoping that the two brothers would leave quickly.
Just as the two Lin brothers were about to leave, a very light and immature voice sounded.
"Bad guys... You have spoiled my fruit. ”
"Oh?" Lin Ruiming, who was riding behind, pulled the reins, turned his head, and stared at Wang Fuyun: "What did you say?"
The crowd of onlookers suddenly became nervous for the little boy, what are you doing to provoke them? I don't know that they are typical soil emperors in Qingluo Town?
"You... You—" Wang Fuyun took two steps back, his hands clenching the corners of his clothes. The boy was too frightened to continue.
Mo Shiping gently supported the boy, he saw that the origin of these two people must be not small, and he thought of the words of Xun hexagram and persuasion that the fortune teller said before.
You will encounter difficulties, but as long as you grasp it properly and understand the meaning of humility and deference contained in this Xun character, you can turn danger into disaster and have a safe journey.
Isn't it a small dilemma now? As long as you endure it properly, or take a step back from appropriateness, you can easily get through this hurdle.
Mo Shiping rubbed the little boy's hair, signaling that he didn't need to panic, raised his head and stared at Lin Ruiming, and said, "He said, you two, you ruined his fruit." ”
However, there is an old man who also taught me the truth of being a human being, and when we are reasonable, we must persevere to the end. Grandpa died because of me, how dare I let him down.
Lin Ruiming, who was on horseback, gently pulled the corners of his mouth, turned over and dismounted, and walked to Mo Shiping: "Hillbilly, do you know who I am?"
Very good, after so many years, it is really rare to dare to openly contradict the two brothers.
Mo Shiping shook his head and said in a firm tone: "I don't know, but if you damage his fruit, you should compensate." ”
"Oh? hahahaha. Lin Ruiming seemed to have heard a joke: "It seems that you are a hillbilly from out of town, and when you enter this Qingluo Town, you can't eat well and keep to yourself, and you still want to learn to make a bird?"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Ruiming clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it towards Mo Shiping.
"Smack!", Mo Shiping received a solid punch on his face, a brewing stagger, and almost fell to the ground.
It can be seen that the person who shot was not pretentious, but riveted enough strength to attack with heavy punches.
"Is there still a royal law!" the little boy Wang Fuyun hugged Mo Shiping distressedly, wiping his tears and shouting.
Lin Ruiming snorted coldly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the crowd of onlookers, and then deliberately pointed at Mo Shiping and the little boy, and said with a disdainful expression: "Wang Fa, do you know what the Wang Fa is? The Wang Fa is used to discipline you people, it is not used to protect you, it is used to protect people like me! I am the Wang Fa, and you are also worthy of mentioning?"
Mo Shi stabilized his body and raised his hand to wipe away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. Mo Shiping was a little surprised in his heart, because this punch was not very painful for him. Part of it is of course because he has been in and out of the mountains and forests to make a living since he was a child, and the other party is a pampered son of a rich family. On the other hand, what Mo Shiping couldn't guess was that when he was a child, he had eaten a lot of medicinal materials similar to the Hollow Valley Youlan grade, and the real foundation was there.
"Oh, can you still stand up?" Lin Ruiming was also a little surprised, the punch he had just thrown with all his strength didn't seem to cause much damage to this swarthy young man.
Lin Ruiming clenched his right fist again, and this punch was aimed at the young man's chest.
"Smack!" sounded, this time Mo Shiping's figure did not shake, because he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Lin Ruiming's right fist.
The young man with a shriveled bag stared at Lin Ruiming with a calm look in his eyes, and said slowly: "I read in the book that the national teacher of the Li Dynasty has issued an iron decree since the founding of the country: the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and anyone who does not obey can be beheaded on the spot. You have just blasphemed and discussed the royal law, which is a capital crime in the Li Dynasty. ”
