Volume 1 There Are Fish in the North Chapter 124 The two of them look at the bright moon
Li Fuyao and Wang Shi, who were carrying sword boxes, entered the town, and after feeling the eyes of the people in those towns, they didn't dare to swagger, and settled in a restaurant on the street, and the two sat by the window and asked for a pot of wine and a few side dishes.
Xiao Er's eyes were not good when he served the food, if it weren't for Wang Shi being generous enough and giving him a lot of silver, maybe even if he served a few small dishes, he would have to be spit some saliva in the shop, Li Fuyao poured a glass of wine, and he didn't have time to praise the wine after he got down, but he felt depressed in his heart.
Wang Shi had a smile in his eyes, and he didn't speak patiently, but after Li Fuyao couldn't bear it, he pointed to the street, Li Fuyao followed what Wang Shi was looking for, and indeed saw a few small town people peeping at this side in a hidden place on the street.
Li Fuyao felt even more irritable.
Wang Shi said softly: "When I went to the town first, Xiaodao listened to a few words of gossip from the people in the town, and probably figured out some things, do you want to hear it?"
Li Fuyao spread out his hands, "Fuyao listens." β
Wang Shi smiled faintly, " The river demon killed by Li Gongzi before, in fact, is really a river god for the people of these small towns, every year the people of this town send a woman with the most beautiful appearance in the town, and then the river demon will ensure that the town is in good weather, as for the woman who was forced to do something with the river demon, when she was tired of it, she was thrown into the river by the river demon to feed the fish and shrimp, which means that the people of this town exchange a woman for a year of wind and rain, in the small road, it is naturally a stupid move, but according to the people in these towns, this deal is very worthwhile, and out of the woman's quota, will also receive a sum of money from several gentry in the town, so we saved the woman this time, not only those people will not thank us for removing the river demon, even the woman's family may not be too happy, maybe even the woman herself may not accept our kindness, after all, this matter is customary, there are rules and regulations, the woman has already accepted her fate, even if we pull it, we will only end up in the name of a wicked person. β
Li Fuyao was silent and did not rush to speak.
Wang Shi continued to speak: "Therefore, after Li Gongzi took out his sword and killed the river demon, this town will have no one to protect it, whether it will be a bumper harvest year in the coming year, the people of the town can't say clearly, and we dare not guarantee it, of course, if the town is smooth every year after that, maybe no one in the town will resent us except for the family that came out of the woman, but in the end, there are still people who complain about us, complain that we have cut off their financial routes, but if the wind and rain are gone, it will fall into the end of a town where the people are resentful." Li Gongzi is a lonely swordsman, and he has never cared about luck, but Xiaodao is a monk on the mountain and does not dare to involve too much, so he didn't help when Li Gongzi made a move before, and I hope that Li Gongzi will not take it to heart. β
Li Fuyao smiled: "I have two swords behind me, and if I am uneven, I will cut it unevenly, and I don't pay much attention to it." β
Wang Shi smiled and nodded, obviously looking in a good mood.
Li Fuyao drank several sips of wine, and said with some melancholy: "Sure enough, I still can't be a good person." β
Wang Shi was stunned and asked, "Why do you say this?"
Li Fuyao picked up a chopsticks and threw it into the wine glass, which quickly made the wine in the wine glass black.
Li Fuyao shook his head helplessly.
After doing a good deed and being harmed by others, Li Fuyao would not be too happy no matter how he thought about it.
Wang Shi poked his head to look at the shopkeeper who came to serve the food before, and sighed: "It's a pity that the silver ingot before Xiaodao." β
Li Fu shook his smile and said nothing, but his eyes grew cold.
ββ
The river outside the town, the river demon entrenched before, was killed by a swordsman yesterday, the river demon that was originally a huge gray fish was taken by Li Fuyao, and the remaining huge body Li Fuyao did not care, but that night was carried into the town by a group of young and strong men, after entering the town, a group of young and strong men carried this huge gray fish into a house in a remote alley.
The lights were bright at night, and the white-haired old man lying on a Taishi chair closed his eyes to recuperate, and only after the door was knocked did he open his eyes slightly, but he did not open them completely, and only after the group of young men carried the gray fish that had died into the house and placed it in front of him, did he finally open his eyes.
The white-haired old man waved his hand, and the group of young men exited the room.
A middle-aged man who had been standing next to the white-haired old man had a pair of triangular eyes, which looked extremely obscene, but his expression was calm, but he invisibly diluted this obscenity by a few points.
He took a few steps forward, carefully looked at the wound of the gray fish, and after a while, he sighed and said softly: "Old ancestor, the rumors are true, he is a swordsman, and this wound was obviously killed by a sword. β
The white-haired old man squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed: "Fan Chi, how many years have there been no swordsmen on this Dayu border, why have we bumped into the two that have appeared these days?"
The triangular-eyed man known as Fan Chi said bitterly: "The swordsman of the Twilight Realm who appeared in Qingshan Temple before was in a high and profound realm, but he met another mountain immortal with a more terrifying realm, and he was destroyed in the blink of an eye, and now the young man who appeared in this town is not in a high realm, but after all, he is a swordsman, who knows if he is going to Qingshan to smash the field, how to handle it still needs to be decided by the ancestor himself." β
The white-haired old man's expression did not change, and he didn't mention the swordsman who came to the town, but just asked, "Fanchi, what kind of realm is the mountain monk on the green mountain who can make the swordsman of the twilight realm die?"
The triangular-eyed man said tentatively: "The realm should be in the Spring and Autumn Realm, after all, in the same realm, the monks of the three sects meet the swordsman, but there is no advantage." β
The white-haired old man sneered: "Spring and Autumn? Haven't you ever seen a swordsman Bento These swordsmen are all eating dry rice, Chao Qingqiu, a sword immortal, dare to fight with a few big demons, the general Spring and Autumn Realm, when you meet this swordsman, you can win, but it's so easy, besides, Shen Changyu, that old guy, was defeated by that person after a glance, you said that person is the Spring and Autumn Realm, and he is not afraid to laugh off his big teeth? According to me, at least the first realm of the building!"
The triangular-eyed man was speechless, and said incredulously: "Old ancestor, if it is an old immortal on the mountain who has ascended to the first realm, how can this be said to be a big man, such a big man came to Qingshan, and suppressed the old horseman Shen Changyu for Qingshan, if we intervene again, we will not be able to catch fire." β
The white-haired old man had a complicated expression, "After that one made a move in Qingshan, I heard that the Guan Lord went up to that Sword Mountain. β
The triangular-eyed man was stunned and said stupidly: "Which viewer?"
The white-haired old man smiled coldly.
The triangular-eyed man gasped, "Guan Zhu Liang also went up to Sword Mountain, the one who shot in Qingshan could it be that Guan Zhu?"
The triangular-eyed man was not stupid at all, and he guessed the key in just a moment.
The white-haired old man hesitated: "That old guy in the sea of Yanghai, when he was young, he traveled through mountains and rivers, and he went to Liangxi, who knows if he stepped on the shit luck to meet the viewer, and stepped on the shit to form a small incense, then in this Dayu border, no one dares to move his Qingshan Temple." β
The triangular-eyed man said sincerely: "Ancestor, no matter what, this trip to the troubled waters can't be tripped, and the things that are touched by the master, no one can touch it, after all, the master is a monk on the mountain who is expected to set foot in the saint, we are such monsters, if we provoke the master, there will be no place in the world." β
The white-haired old man sneered: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal for us to run to the demon land, in this mountain and river, the demon cultivation is naturally extremely difficult, only when we go to the demon land, we can be regarded as having such a place." β
The triangular-eyed man reminded: "Ancestor, you still need three women for your divine skills." β
The white-haired man was expressionless, and said calmly: "After those two people are gone, find a demon cultivator to come out, the foolish people here want the river god, just give it to him, if it weren't for Chao Qingqiu who has returned to the mountains and rivers from the demon land, the young man who came out of the sword, I am destined to not be able to keep him." β
The triangular-eyed man didn't speak, although he didn't know so clearly about the realm cultivation of the old ancestor, but no matter what, it couldn't be the opponent of the sword immortal, and even the sword immortal was destined not to look at the old ancestor more.
After all, the objects of this sword immortal's sword on weekdays are those giants who are enough to respect one side in the demon land, where would he care about this little demon who is hiding in the market and practicing the so-called magic skills.
The white-haired old man finally said meaningfully: "Fan Chi, in fact, if there is the flesh and blood of that swordsman, I am afraid that the effect will be greater than that of these three women. β
The triangular-eyed man shuddered, but did not speak.
The white-haired old man waved his hand.
The triangular-eyed man bowed his head and exited the room, closing the door and walking slowly.
Soon there was a sound of flesh tearing inside the room.
He turned a deaf ear and left this side, walking through the hallway, stopping in front of an old tree.
A crisp voice came into my ears, "Fanchi, does the old ancestor want you to get rid of the murderer and avenge my husband?"
The triangular-eyed man raised his head and stared at the middle-aged woman squatting on a tree.
The woman is dressed in moon-white clothes, and her face is not very beautiful, but it is still pleasing to the eye, especially the scenery on her chest, which is even more magnificent and boundless.
The triangular-eyed man just looked obscene, but in fact, his eyes did not reveal any other thoughts, he looked at the woman and sneered: "Chunniang, the gray fish died at the hands of a young swordsman, the old ancestor is unwilling to interfere, and he doesn't want you to make any moths." β
Chun Niang's face was extremely hideous, "My husband died for the ancestor, and he was even more loyal to the ancestor before, the ancestor doesn't care if he says this, isn't afraid of cold people?"
The triangular-eyed man said calmly: "The gray fish doesn't even have a corpse left, can you still count on the old ancestor to avenge you, don't you really regard the old ancestor as that kind of moral saint?"
Chun Niang almost fell off the branch, she said in disbelief: "The ancestor deceived me like this?"
The triangular man was expressionless.
Chunniang gritted her teeth and said, "Fanchi, if the ancestor doesn't make a move, do you want to help me?"
The triangular-eyed man said playfully: "Help you? Why? Just by your broken body or just by the slightest bit of incense between you and me, you are just transforming, and I am only just getting married, and when you meet the young swordsman who killed the black fish who has already formed Dan with one sword, do you think you have a chance of winning?" It's just a death, everything in the world is easy to mess with, but this swordsman is not easy to mess with, in the Dayu border, it was luck not to meet in the past, and it was fate to meet in the future, for the sake of that little bit of incense, I advise you not to do stupid things, do something that is doomed to failure, it makes no sense. β
Chun Niang's expression was complicated and she was reluctant to speak.
The triangular-eyed man smiled: "That's it, you think about it yourself." β
After walking a few steps, the triangular-eyed man suddenly smiled again: "I forgot to say, Chun Niang, there is also a Taoist priest who guards the concept of karma next to that person, and the realm is not low, and it is not certain that it is still too clear in the Qingsi Realm." β
After saying this, the triangular-eyed man disappeared, leaving only Chunniang, who was always squatting on the branch.
The woman with a magnificent chest stood up, suddenly smiled coldly, and disappeared.
In the original white-haired old man's room, the old man who was pushed open the window and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief suddenly said coldly: "Chunniang, if you want to find death, no one can stop you, but if you implicate me, you will really be better off than dead." β
ββ
The night was deep, after the events of the day, Li Fuyao originally did not have the intention of staying in this town, but seeing that it was getting late, Wang Shi persuaded Li Fuyao to stay and take a look, Li Fuyao was not in a hurry to leave, but did not find an inn to live in the town, but found a remote yard, the owner of the yard had already left, saying that this place was haunted, so he didn't even dare to take away the things at home, after Li Fuyao and Wang Shi lived, one person found a room, Li Fuyao This should be the original owner's room, there is even such a desk, there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, but it has not been used for a long time, and it is just a little dustyγ
Li Fuyao couldn't sleep, so he lit an oil lamp and wrote an article on a blank piece of paper.
The pen power has improved a little compared to before.
After writing, Li Fuyao put down his pen to pick up the jade pendant that originally belonged to Wen Yao and looked at it carefully, when he was on the road before, he found an extremely strange thing, that is, put this jade pendant next to the sword jade, and the sword jade will absorb the luck originally contained in this jade pendant, which made Li Fuyao startled, and then he didn't dare to put the two jade pendants together.
After all, the owner of this jade pendant is still the little girl Wen Yao, if he absorbs all the things in this jade pendant for no reason, he doesn't know how to face it when he sees her in the future.
He Li Fuyao thinks that he is not a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person.
Putting down the jade pendant, Li Fuyao came to the window and looked at the moonlight outside with a calm expression.
After he came down from Sword Mountain, the first thing he encountered was that the little girl Wen Yao was ruined by the sparrow demon, and the reason why he helped was probably because he remembered his own time when he saw the appearance of this little girl, so he could be regarded as perfect as he placed the little girl properly, and did not hesitate to take out the demon pill, but now the second time he shot, he met a group of unreasonable people under the mountain, and the river demon who killed the disaster was poisoned in the dish, and it is very appropriate to say that there is no good reward for kindness.
It's just that although Li Fuyao is a little incomprehensible and a little bored in his heart, he is still not disappointed in this world, after all, he still has expectations, the reason why he doesn't dare to go to Luoyang City, in fact, the thing he is afraid of is very simple, that is, he is afraid that if he sees his parents again, they will completely forget about his son, so that even if he Li Fuyao becomes a sword immortal that everyone in the world has to look up to, he will not be too happy in the end.
He was taken from Luoyang City to Baiyu Town in Dazhou, and the reason why he was able to survive was that in addition to thinking about revenge, he actually wanted to go back and see.
He still didn't believe that his father and mother really didn't care about his life or death for the sake of that silver.
Standing by the window, feeling the cool breeze of the summer night, Li Fuyao had complicated thoughts.
The Taoist priest in the other room was also sleepless, he first recited a book of the sage's Taoist scriptures, then put on his shoes, went to the window, and began to carefully recall the whole situation of the river demon he had encountered until now.
The most doubtful thing in his heart is nothing more than that since the river demon wants to make a good year for the people of this town every year, why does he have to have a woman every year, if this is a good deal between the two parties, this river demon wants a woman to be chaste, but why is it so, he can play a mountain monk, swaggering into the town, and then get only more women than now, since he is still showing people as a river demon, is it difficult to be afraid that there will be a mountain monk who has traveled here to get rid of it?
If this doesn't make sense, then it can only be said that this river demon drunkard doesn't mean to drink.
But it's not on that woman, what is this river demon coveting, Wang Shi really can't think very clearly.
He has always subdued demons and never thought about anything else, but when he encountered such treatment by the people of this town, it made Wang Shi have the idea that he had to figure out the ins and outs, so he let Li Fuyao stay with him.
The two of them are much safer together than him alone.
Wang Shi has never wanted to know the truth of the matter so much.
This may have something to do with his Dao heart, which is still a little fluctuating.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly remembered a conversation between a certain scholar and a certain Taoist who traveled to Dayu.
The scholar who didn't know how high the scholar and the Taoist who had always been regarded as the most learned in Dayu had met at the border of Dayu, and debated for several days on the question of whether to save or not to save the woman who fell into the water, and the two sides were indistinguishable, just when everyone thought that this debate was going to end in a draw, but it was a turn of the peak, and the scholar actually won the debate with a sentence, and after that sentence was circulated, both the Taoist priest and the scholar felt that this sentence said by the scholar really couldn't find any place to refute.
Wang Shi remembered that sentence and read it softly, "Even if a good person is not rewarded, I still insist on saving her, not because I will get anything after doing this, but because I firmly believe that it is right to do so." β
