Volume 1 Broken Bamboo Chapter 50 There is no aftermath
Zhang Muliu didn't answer the question, and said a sentence that sounded gibberish in the ears of the woman in white.
"No wonder that guy ran a few laps in the north and south of Shengshen Continent and didn't find you, it turned out that he came to Zhan Buzhou. How are you? He's been locked up for tens of thousands of years. ”
The woman in white could sense the qilin aura on Zhang Muliu's body, and Zhang Muliu could naturally see that this woman was the last unicorn beast that Qing Ye was looking for.
White unicorns are rare. But now in this world, there are not many unicorns of any color.
Seeing that the woman in white was about to make a move again, Zhang Muliu had to smile bitterly: "White girl, I have known a green flame unicorn for a long time, and we have been together for many years before, and it is normal to have his breath on my body, don't think about it." ”
Bai Qilin frowned, and asked with a gloomy face, "Then where did he go?" Don't you know what the situation of my clan is now?"
Zhang Muliu sighed, and said to the woman who was dressed in white but was really a unicorn: "You divine beasts are especially sensitive to changes in heaven and earth, right? Eight of the ancient Jiuze reappeared in the Shengshen Continent, and the unicorn mound on the edge of Onozawa also reappeared. Qing Ye was sent to the Qilin Tomb by Gao Yang's first line, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come out for a while. ”
The white unicorn no longer spoke, but carefully thought about the ins and outs. Earlier, she had been imprisoned for 10,000 years, and she already believed what this young man said, after all, she herself had not been imprisoned for nearly 10,000 years?
"Then why are you robbing me of my chance? That Plauk can help me advance to the Void of Refining. ”
Zhang Muliu smiled dumbly, "You think too much, even if you don't miss the road, it won't be Pulu." ”
Saying that, he threw the gourd over to the woman in white, Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "I don't know what the reason for this gourd, there is no aura at all now, but if you feel it carefully, does it contain some natural thunder methods?"
Bai Qilin frowned and took it, and a trace of metallic true intent probed into the gourd, and sure enough, there was some broken thunder method.
She looked lonely, shook her head, and stared at Zhang Muliu, "Could it be that he wants to fight for the spirit of Middle-earth? Our Qilin is naturally not inferior to the True Dragon, but the rank is lower than the True Dragon." He went into the Kirin Tomb to get that thing back, right?"
Zhang Muliu's expression was solemn, he nodded and said: "The four divine beasts are all only spirits, and it is very difficult for the young master to compete for a share of luck with his true body, but I have met the Dragon King of the East China Sea on the way south, and it seems that the dragon clan will not fight for the spirit of Middle Earth." Better yet, Middle-earth has been gone for tens of thousands of years. ”
Bai Qilin shook his head, and said in a voice: "You said that he has been trapped for tens of thousands of years, why can't that place be Middle-earth?"
In a word, Zhang Muliu was in a cold sweat, why didn't he think that that dream would be the disappeared Middle Earth?
The foundation of the thirty-six heavens is Middle-earth, which hangs high above Mount Meru. But since the fall of the Heavenly Court, that Middle-earth world has long since disappeared, and Middle-earth has disappeared before the continent was divided into four quarters in ancient times.
Zhang Muliu shook his head, and said in his heart What are you doing with this, you will have to go again sooner or later in the future.
So he said to Bai Qilin: "Let's talk about the love later, let me ask you, why don't you stop the Zhixian surnamed Hu and the half-hung spell master?"
If you want to say that Bai Qilin is not harmful, Zhang Muliu believes it, but if she doesn't know that Hu Xianling and the spell master want to make money and kill people, Zhang Muliu will not believe it.
Bai Qilin smiled and said, "Why should I help them? You didn't inquire about how arrogant and domineering the two of them have been since they made a windfall? It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a disaster in the township. I'm very patient if I don't snatch it. ”
Zhang Muliu smiled: "Actually, you are protecting the dusk?"
The white unicorn didn't speak, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Muliu shook his head, if it weren't for the protection of the white qilin, Dusk would have died a long time ago, and with the gourd that didn't have the slightest spiritual energy, it was still impossible to stop the spellmaster's prohibition.
Therefore, Zhang Muliu didn't guess all correctly, and thought that there was a gourd hidden at dusk, and the things hidden in the gourd were more than the property in his house combined. When I arrived at the prison, I realized that I had a wrong idea, and at dusk my parents didn't tell my son that the gourd was a magic weapon. It is precisely because of this that Dusk can live until now.
There was a ripple on the riverside, and when the white unicorn reappeared, there was a big burden behind him.
Zhang Muliu pulled the corners of his mouth and asked: "You are all in the Dao period, I don't believe that you haven't built a city, even if you don't, aren't your demon clans all well-off?
The white unicorn raised his eyebrows and said: "What you hold, I can turn into a human body is already the limit, this pair of dragon horns can't be taken back, and it will turn into a white deer and follow you until you find the unicorn." ”
Also, the more ancient the beast, the more difficult it is to transform into a human form. And the white unicorn wants to cross the sea alone to go to Shengshen Continent, there are too many troubles. The unicorn is becoming more and more rare, and it is better to look at the white-haired unicorn.
Take out the sword token and pack the big baggage inside. Zhang Muliu looked strange and said softly: "That, Xiaobai! Hinds don't grow horns." ”
The white qilin squinted at it and said coldly, "Haven't you heard of a kind of horned deer in the extreme cold of the northern land?"
As he spoke, he transformed into a white deer, with two slender horns on his head, and his body was small, only the size of a kitten.
Well, there is no shortage of small animals along the way. It's a shame that Zhang left early, otherwise wouldn't he be happy?
......
The matter of Cao County has a beginning and no end, Zhang Muliu is smoothing out the cause and effect, but Liu Zhiyun is difficult. This county magistrate is so busy that he has to find evidence and rehabilitate Dusk first. Then we have to confirm the crimes of the deceased former county magistrate Hu Shunqing, as well as the crimes of the officials in the county government at that time, and then try to help the two officials, one fat and one thin, get rid of the crime.
Then there are those who have committed the most heinous crimes, but wherever there is a rule of law, they must be condemned by the government. In fact, no matter which country, which dynasty or generation, there are still Qing officials. Just imagine, if everyone who is an official is corrupt and perverts the law, how many decades can the national glory last under the decay of a country?
There is a good saying that cause and effect may be late, but it will definitely not be uncoming.
Therefore, not only with Li Wucai, but also with Li Wucai, even if they were killed for the people, they would have to stay in prison for at least another half a year. Luckily, they ran into Yoo Ji-yoon. This young magistrate didn't even frown, and released the two of them to cooperate in handling the case.
Even Zhang Muliu gave this young magistrate a thumbs up, who said that scholars are pedantic?
On this day, Zhang Muliu walked into the prison with a white deer, and asked the "gourd" with a smile: "If I take that gourd, you will become a poor boy." ”
Dusk first bowed to Bailu, and then said to Zhang Muliu: "I originally wanted to travel around the world in the future and learn more sage teachings, but Lord Liu said that he lacked a master, so I will follow Lord Liu to ask for food in the future." ”
Liu Zhiyun came sweating profusely, so he made a salute and said anxiously: "Sir, are you leaving?"
Zhang Muliu handed out a wooden sign with a couplet engraved on it, and then said: "Although Xiao Huang is a spirit, his temperament is not bad, this wooden sign is a rein that restricts him, but I hope you don't need it." ”
Wearing a green shirt, he hugged Bailu and continued: "What I value you most is not that you have the people in mind, but that you don't teach the world that people have the opportunity to distinguish between black and white. When I come here again, I can't say that you are really an old man, I am sure that you will not let me down, that stone can be a door to your heart, always warn you, black is black, white is white. ”
Liu Zhiyun wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly said after a while: "But sometimes it is difficult to distinguish black and white absolutely, just like when I let Yu Li get out of prison, it is white for justice and people's hearts, but it is black for the law." ”
After a pause, the magistrate continued: "When I was studying in Yudu, I encountered an incident where a poor boy in the 14th Five-Year Plan stole buns on the street, but he didn't eat them himself. Later, he was caught, knelt in the heavy rain and begged, saying that it was okay to send the official, could he send this last bun to a girl in a ruined temple outside the city, who was his sister who depended on him for his life. If this is the case, how can Zhiyun distinguish between black and white?"
Zhang Muliu has not yet spoken, but Bailu has spoken: "If you cultivate it, you will be a good person." ”
A green shirt said with a smile: "It is difficult to distinguish right from wrong to steal for the people you care about." It is also quite difficult to find a solution. Even if you give them food, how many such people are there in the world, even if I have more than enough to do. I once heard someone say, 'My heart is good, but the world is turbid.'" That young man naturally has a good heart, but why did he do something wrong?
Liu Zhiyun said again: "Right first and then wrong, can you also distinguish between big and small mistakes?"
Zhang Muliu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The initiator has no aftermath. Stealing buns and stealing gold and silver are both stealing. ”
Liu Zhiyun smiled bitterly: "Mr. has digressed." ”
Bai Qilin jumped from Zhang Muliu's arms to his shoulder, and regardless of the young man's dark face, he stepped on the top of his head with his front hooves, and said with a smile: "You people, you are really so able to think about it, is it useful to think so much? What is the difference between saying that the world and the people's hearts, good and evil are black and white, and those who squat in the grass hut and eat batter and comment on the world? ”
Look at this, it's rare to pretend to be knowledgeable, first stumped a scholar, and then was demolished by Bailu, and people are right.
A real reader and two half-hung readers both burst out laughing.
No matter what others say, justice is black and white, in fact, everyone's heart is clear.
It seems that the weasel deliberately avoided Zhang Muliu, and he was reluctant to send it off before leaving.
Zhang Muliu left Cao County at night, with a silver-black long sword missing from his back, but a beautiful white deer beside him. Sure enough, it's just a new friend and an old friend.
Before going to the twilight mountain, Zhang Muliu wanted to go to the Yu capital to have a look. Liu Zhiyun later said that the boy who stole the bun was not sent to the official in the end. The owner of the steamed bun shop followed the boy out of the city, and saw the skinny little girl lying on the straw mat, so he recruited the boy to be an apprentice in the bun shop.
So in this world, there are a lot of bad things, like eating half a pound of potatoes on an empty stomach, lying on the bed at night and turning over, always feeling that there is something on the heart and liver that can't be stuck and wants to vomit and can't vomit. But there are a lot of heart-warming things, if you have to talk about it, it is like a snowy day, the kang head is burning hot, and the family sits in front of the kang table and talks about old things.
Bai Lu, who was squatting on the shoulders of a green shirt, said for no reason:
"The most heartwarming thing is that everyone is there, right?"
Zhang Muliu nodded, "Don't worry, Qing Ye won't have anything to do, he wants to fight for the spirit of Middle Earth, how can I not help?"
......
Yu Guo is considered a top dynasty in the southwest of Zhanbu Continent, and the predecessor who changed the name of a continent is also regarded as a Yu Guo clan, but Yu Guo was not called Yu Guo at that time.
The founding emperor of the Yu State was a beggar and a monk. It is said that the world was in turmoil that year, the people could not even eat, and people died of starvation everywhere. The founding emperor of the Yu State became a monk at a very young age, just to have enough to eat. It's just that this emperor, although he has been a monk for many years, especially hates monks, so in a country, there are actually few temples, most of them are Taoist temples. Even later, several emperors did not hesitate to spend money and effort to build Taoist temples in several famous mountains, and the plank roads that looked like heavenly steps abound in Yu country.
Zhang Muliu took a white deer who was sometimes silent, but sometimes spoke amazingly, to Yudu, and after a turn, Zhang Muliu sighed with emotion.
The prosperity here is comparable to that of Chang'an City.
Along the way, I didn't worry much, one was waiting for Liu Gong's kid, and the other was intentionally looking along the way. There are some things Chu Xiaodan didn't say, and the old cripple didn't say anything, but Zhang Muliu was not stupid, and his ass could guess that the trip to the noodle pool must be very dangerous.
Why don't you call it the lower lake? Just think about it carefully, the homonym is that the next talk, not very elegant.
A white deer the size of a puppy squatted on his shoulder, and it was still a horned deer that Zhanbuzhou didn't have at all, so it was still a little eye-catching when walking on the street. When this white unicorn first saw it, it was scary, and it was quite a posture of leaving Qiushui if it didn't agree with each other, but since it became a white deer, I don't know what's going on, and I often ask some questions that are difficult to answer, and teach people headaches.
Zhang Muliu muttered: "If Master Qing knows that Xiaobai is so beautiful, don't you thank me properly?"
Bai Qilin sneered: "What do you mean?
The young man is full of slander, there are only two of you unicorns left in this world, don't you be his daughter-in-law and tell him to beat the bachelor?
The white unicorn seemed to hear Zhang Muliu's heart, and pressed his antlers against the young man's cheek, his voice was a little annoyed, "Zhang boy, don't give me nonsense, even if there is only one unicorn left in the world, I won't choose him easily!
Zhang Muliu rubbed his cheeks helplessly, and stopped talking to this guy who didn't have a heavy guy in the lower corner.
It's June in a blink of an eye, and after shopping, Yu has to hurry to the twilight mountain, Qixi must not be spent on that mountain, otherwise it will be a small life to go back to Shengshenzhou.
The bun shop is still relatively easy to find, and it is estimated that there is no other one in Yudu City, which is similar to Zhang Yu's naming style.
After a short time, I walked here, there was no signboard, just a cover inserted in the eaves, which said "Chicken smells fragrant", these three words are already very arrogant. It is also under this guise that everyone in Yudu City knows that chickens can't smell it.
From afar, I saw a dark and thin young man who was busy working non-stop, and it must be the young man Liu Zhiyun said. Although it has recently sunset at this moment, the steamed bun shop is still very lively, and most of the tables are full.
The young man looked very anxious, and rushed to the table to carry the buns, and then saw Zhang Muliu walk in, and hurriedly came over and asked, "What do you want to eat?" Our buns are meat and vegetarian, the meat is divided into chicken, duck, cattle and sheep, and the vegetarian is leek pickles, cabbage and fungus. ”
Zhang Muliu smiled and asked for a basket of cabbage stuffing and two cages of leek stuffing.
At this time, a woman wearing a scarf came out of it, threw a cloth bag from afar, and said extremely badly, "Today's food, hurry up, come early tomorrow, and if it's late, you won't be able to eat." ”
The young man smiled with a face, took the cloth bag and tied it with a rope in his arms, and quickly ran to carry the three steamed buns, and then the girl ran out, and closed the city gate when it was late.
The diners seemed to be accustomed to it, and no one said anything to help the boy speak. The boss also walked out slowly, and sighed: "Can you not talk to him like this all the time, Xiao Yan will fall ill after a long time." ”
The proprietress threw away a wet rag, and despite the large number of people here, she scolded the shopkeeper: "You have brought him here for half a year, haven't you? What have you taught? What has he learned? What will you do after you eat and drink all day? We are going to do business! Not a great good person." ”
A diner smiled and said, "Boss, you are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and there are a few Tongbao coins in the buns you give to Xiaoyan every once in a while, right?" That kid stood at the door in the rain with a few coins last time, but I saw it with my own eyes. ”
It seems that the person who is stubble is also a regular customer, and the proprietress turned her head and scolded: "You old Wang Ba knows a fart! That money, I don't know if it was the food delivery in it, I will give that kid money? ”
After saying that, he glared at the shopkeeper and turned his head to the back kitchen.
The shopkeeper smiled wryly, took out a jar of pickles from the cabinet, put it on a small plate, and brought a plate to each table.
There was a white deer squatting on the stool next to Zhang Muliu, which was already eye-catching, and at this time, the shopkeeper came over with a look of surprise, "This guest is eye-catching, is it the first time to come? There is also a white deer, it must be the Jianghu people, right? It's a pity, if you carry a sword, you will be more like a sword fairy." ”
The words made the surroundings laugh non-stop, and someone quipped: "Lao Luo, what you think is very beautiful, the sword immortals all come to your house to eat steamed buns, isn't your business going to be hot?"
Dressed in a green shirt, he smiled faintly, and asked the shopkeeper: "That young man is not good at family affairs?"
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "There is a fart family matter, and I don't know where to escape from the wilderness, I met a lonely little girl halfway, so I thought I was my sister, and the two of them relied on each other in the broken temple outside the city." Poor man. ”
The shopkeeper said what happened to the young man, but he didn't say that he gave the young man a reason to live.
The diner who had a stubble before also sighed and said, "This son doesn't look at the boss lady's fierceness, in fact, he is soft-hearted." How can there be a food delivery money in the vegetable pile, impossible. Li Yan has no salary to work here, and he will give some leftover buns one day when he promises. But one day the buns in the cloth bag are not hot, and the other day there are not a few pieces of meat and a few handfuls of rice in the cloth bag?"
Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "The proprietress is not good at words, but it is actually for the good of that young man." If you can eat for no reason, it is not a matter for a long time, you must let him know that what he gets is not easy to come by, so that he will cherish it. ”
The white deer followed suit, and the juvenile horned deer called like a bird's call.
After eating the buns in a short time, Zhang Muliu took the white deer and turned his head to go out of the city. The heart said how to always let yourself encounter bullying things, and it is a few mortals, and there is no weight in a fist and foot.
This white deer always seems to know what people are thinking, and Zhang Muliu has been spied into his heart several times. It's easy not to let him snoop, but Zhang Muliu didn't block it.
Bai Qilin listened to his heart again at this time, so he gave Zhang Mu a little trick, "Why don't you pretend to be a ghost? ”
Zhang Muliu smiled dumbly, good idea!
......
The young man Li Yan galloped all the way to the broken temple outside the city, and heard the girl in the broken temple crying from afar, and the dark and thin young man picked up a stone and held it in his hand, and ran desperately to break the temple. As soon as I entered, I found a few ruffians who often came to look for trouble, surrounding the girl, with a wicked smile on their faces.
"Fuck off. The boy threw the stone in his hand with all his might, and he didn't know where he got the strength to smash it on the back of a ruffian's head. The hooligan covered his head and turned his head, his face was very gloomy, as if he was going to skin Li Yan alive.
But the swarthy young man ignored the ruffian, bypassed them in a few steps, ran to the girl and stretched out his arms, and then turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Xiaohui, my brother is here." ”
The girl's name is Yue Hui, and she looks at her body is very weak, so there should be some serious illness. At this moment, seeing Li Yan desperately protecting himself, he choked up and nodded while wiping his tears.
These ruffians are actually rich families in the city, and many of them are from the families of big officials. The one who just received a stone was the nephew of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, named Lu Hu.
Lu Huyin said with a smile: "This time you can see blood, and you can't afford to pay if you two are sold." ”
Li Yan was not too afraid, but frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Lu Hu, who used his uncle's name to do some disgusting actions all day long, laughed very ugly at this time, "Of course, I will arrest this girl and let my brother play with it, and then sell it to the kiln." As for you, would it be better to kill and feed the wild dogs?"
The girl Yue Hui trembled when she heard this, and cried out: "You can arrest me, let my brother go!"
Lu Hu smiled lewdly, rubbed his hands and said, "Then it depends on whether you are obedient or not." ”
The young man Li Yan lifted his trouser legs, pulled out a dagger from his calf, and turned his head to Yue Hui, as if he was a little angry.
"Silly girl, both of us brothers and sisters crawled out of the pile of dead people, even if we die at this time, it's worth it, and we have to live a few more years!
When he said this, the young man's face did not fluctuate at all.
Lu Hu sneered, stepped forward in a few steps and kicked the young man away, and directly reached out to grab Yue Hui.
As soon as the girl gritted her teeth, she also took out a dagger from behind her, and cut off a few of Lu Hu's fingers with a horizontal stroke, and the latter suddenly cried wolf.
"Kill them! Lu Hu's eyes were red, and he covered his severed finger and trembled.
Zhang Muliu, who was outside the broken temple, suddenly didn't want to be scary, although some people were wearing a human skin, they were not as good as animals inside.
When a pair of poor brothers and sisters were helpless, a young man walked in at the gate of the broken temple, with a beautiful white deer standing on his shoulder.
Li Yan naturally recognized it, but saw that the dark young man's eyes finally had a trace of desire to survive, and Li Yan, who had not been crying, choked up and shouted at Zhang Muliu:
"Sir, please help us. ”
Zhang Muliu nodded, and a wisp of green smoke rushed straight towards Lu Hu, who looked down only to find that a cyan cuff ran from his back to his chest, but the cuff and the slender fingers were not stained with blood.
A green shirt clasped Lu Hu's head with his left hand, and threw it behind him, and the dead body was thrown out of the broken temple.
Zhang Muliu's face sank like water, and he slapped him with his empty hand, and several gangsters were all unconscious on the ground. Only a shivering man in brocade remained.
At this moment, the young man in a green shirt but who had never carried a sword said in a deep voice to the man whose legs kept swinging:
"Go and call someone!"
