Chapter 202: Unveiling the Red List
Shortly after the morning, several groups of white-clothed monks passed over Xiangshui City, and a notice was posted at the east gate of the city, recruiting temporary and short-term workers, the purpose of which was to fill the big hole that collapsed last night.
Even if there is a skill to move mountains and reclaim the sea, it takes a lot of effort to make such a deep pit.
"Thirty spirit stones a day for monks, fifty more spirit stones for one more order, and mortals only accept those who are strong and strong, thirty taels of silver a day, including rice-Ouyang Jiaxuan. ”
The front of the notice was crowded with people of all kinds, whether it was monks or mortals, they were all rushing to sign up, thinking that in the face of money, no matter how noble people were, they had to put down their shelves and fight for blood!
"Hey, you're stepping on me!"
"Get out of the way, look at your skinny appearance, a few shovels won't work, what do you want? Go home and take the child!"
"Don't fight, I, the Ouyang family, who are here today, want it!"
......
In addition to the recruitment bulletin posted on the notice board, there is also a boxy red robe pennant hanging in the center, on which the dragon and phoenix dance embroidered with four gilt characters: "Recruitment elders." ”
As soon as Di Yunfeng left the city, he was attracted by this recruitment pennant, he stood on tiptoe and wanted to see the recruitment information of the pennant completely, but the crowd in front was too crowded, so he had to sit down and wait at the tea stall not far away, but who knew that the Ouyang family recruited workers in batches, and the men in the city knew that the Ouyang family paid a high price to hire short-term workers, and they came to sign up. No, it's almost noon, and the number of people in front of the notice board is not less, but more and more.
"It's really fucking useless, thirty taels are snatched like this!" Di Yunfeng couldn't help but scold.
"Guest officer, you've been sitting here all morning, and the stall is going to close. "The owner of the tea stall has been uneasy for a long time, and finally can't help but give an eviction order.
Di Yunfeng didn't care, but always paid attention to the changes in front of him, he said: "Boss, a pot of tea in half an hour, I won't give you less tea money, and besides, it's time for lunch soon, why don't you hurry up and prepare tea and rice to make money?"
"Hmph, what about making money? The helpers have all gone to fill in the pit, you are a guest this morning, and a pot of tea is only two cents, but I haven't caught a tael of silver this morning," the owner of the tea stall did not wait for Di Yunfeng's consent, confiscated the teacups and teapots on his table, and said: "Guest officer, don't blame me for being rude, I will also go to help the Ouyang family do a short job, I will have thirty taels of silver in the morning, so I will close the stall now and go to the queue to sign up." ”
"Wait. Di Yunfeng pressed the hand of the owner of the noodle stall, and at the same time went out to put a silver ingot on the table, and smiled: "There are thirty taels here, it is easier for you to let me sit for a day than for you to dig for a day, right?"
"Yo, I don't dare to accept such a big ingot of silver!" The owner of the noodle stall still accepted it, because he smiled so much that the Ouyang family would not want it with his short figure, he touched the silver and bit it with his teeth, and after confirming that it was genuine, he sat down with Di Yunfeng with a smile, and said suspiciously: "The guest officer spends a lot of money to sit in my broken tea stall, is it someone waiting for?"
Di Yunfeng pointed to the splendid notice on the notice and asked: "Boss, look at the splendid notice in the red robe and gold letters, I know that it is extraordinary as soon as I see it, I have always wanted to take a closer look, if it is appropriate, you may as well take it off, I am a jobless vagrant, and I am busy looking for a job to do." ”
The owner of the tea stall was startled, looked Di Yunfeng up and down, and approached him suspiciously: "Can't you see that the guest official is also a person who cultivates immortals?"
Di Yunfeng looked at himself and wondered, "Why can't you see it?"
The tea stall smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, I don't mean that, you said that I have opened a broken tea stall for more than ten years, and you are still the first immortal cultivator to patronize." ”
The owner of the tea stall has changed his mouth to call Di Yunfeng "Immortal Chief" and his attitude has been lowered several grades, Di Yunfeng doesn't like this sudden sense of dignity and inferiority, he waved his hand and said: "The big husband is not informal, the boss still calls me a guest officer," he continued to ask: "I am an immortal cultivator, is there anything wrong with revealing that red list?"
The owner of the tea stall said: "It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that the red list is not something that ordinary immortals can reveal, if you take a closer look, you will find that there is a row of conditional small characters below, one is written, the conduct is good, there is the appearance of a teacher, the second is written, bright and fair, no hooligan background," Speaking of this, he raised his head and gave Di Yunfeng a thumbs up, and praised: "You have all won the first two guest officers." ”
Di Yunfeng coughed dryly, so as not to be embarrassed: "That's embarrassing......"
The owner of the tea stall shook his head again: "But this third point is also the condition for a large number of people - the cultivation level must be above the virtual reality realm to be qualified, otherwise it will not be considered, and there is another point under the small print: those who randomly pick up the red list will be severely punished!"
Di Yunfeng had looked at the entire Xiangshui City with his divine sense, except for five people in the Ouyang family in the west, who had cultivated to reach the Void Reality Mirror, and no longer saw a sixth person who could reach such a height.
Li Yan'er also said that in the general immortal realm, the monks of the virtual and real mirror realm are already first-class masters, and the combined monks can support the entire immortal gate, and the Mahayana monks are erratic and close to the immortals, and as for the immortals, they have already gone to the Metaverse to report on the things of the lower realm.
"How high is your cultivation, guest officer?" asked the owner of the tea stall.
"Me?" Di Yunfeng rolled his eyes and said proudly: "I just happen to have the cultivation of the Void and Reality Mirror. ”
The owner of the tea stall was in awe, and even stammered when he spoke: "That...... You...... What else are you going to pick up...... Red...... Red list, can't you just go directly to the White Creek Sect to serve?"
Di Yunfeng shook his head and smiled: "You don't understand this, do you? ”
"If you don't take it, no one will take the job with you......"
"That's not necessarily, hiring an external elder is a big deal, the Baixi Sect will definitely carefully screen people before accepting people, first of all, I have to let them see my determination!"
Di Yunfeng got up and strode towards the notice board.
The owner of the tea stall scratched his head: "What a strange immortal ......"
————————
"Get out of the way! Lao Tzu is here to unveil the red list!"
Di Yunfeng's clothes were raised, and the wind under his feet rose into the air, using the usual trick of "dragonfly water", and flew towards the notice with human heads.
The crowd complained again and again at first, but when they saw Di Yunfeng pinching the red list in his hand, they respectfully spread out a way out, and they didn't dare to make a noise at all.
"I knew this was the case, why did I have to wait so long?" Di Yunfeng pushed the red list to his chest, and was about to swagger outside, when a middle-aged man in a white robe stopped him with his hand:
"Fellow Daoist and slow. ”
Di Yunfeng glanced at the middle-aged man, dressed in the style of the Ouyang family, he hid his own cultivation, he couldn't see how deep, at this moment he was also looking Di Yunfeng up and down, Di Yunfeng also hid cultivation, the two of them frowned quietly, suspicious of each other's cultivation...... It is said that the intrigue between women is very powerful, but at this moment, Di Yunfeng and this white-robed middle-aged man have been fighting for no less than thirty rounds in their eyes.
"Huh. The white-robed middle-aged man suddenly smiled, resolving the embarrassment, and he bowed to Di Yunfeng: "I am the third elder of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Ci, I don't know what this Taoist friend is called, and where does it come from?"
Di Yunfeng also smiled: "In Xia Bai Mo Li, Qingyue Palace people." ”
"Qingyue Palace?"
"This is it. Di Yunfeng took out the Qingyue Order and shook it in front of Ouyang Ci.
Ouyang Ci was inconvenient to ask more about the reason for the person, but asked instead: "Since Daoyou belongs to the Immortal Sect, why did he remove this red list?"
Looking for faults? Di Yunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and really wanted to say back: Lao Tzu unveiled the list and did your again? He smiled and said: "Qingyue Palace is a sect created by my wife, and I am just a guest elder. He had a slight hint of sharpness, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
Ouyang Ci slowly lowered his face and listened to him: "The red list is rarely revealed, but it doesn't matter if the Daoist friend reveals it, but I want to advise the Daoist that you are not the only one who has applied for the position of elder of the Baixi Sect." ”
Di Yunfeng pretended to be surprised: "Oh? In other words, I have a competitor?"
Ouyang Ci said coldly: "Yes, there are at least five of your competitors, and it just so happens that I am one." ”
Di Yunfeng frowned and said, "Isn't Ouyang Daoyou an elder of the Ouyang family, how can you also apply for a position as an elder of the Baixi Sect?"
Ouyang Ci seemed to feel that Di Yunfeng's words were a little inexplicable: "There is no conflict between the Elder of the World Sect and the Elder of the Immortal Sect, why can't I apply?"
Di Yunfeng took out the red list in his hand again and waved: "Then Ouyang Daoyou means to tell me to give up running for elder?"
Ouyang Ci said truthfully: "If you are a wise person, you should give up. ”
Di Yunfeng pursed his lips, lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally took the red list into his arms: "I still have to try," he patted Ouyang Ci's shoulder again, and sighed: "I don't think it's as good as Ouyang Daoyou to give up, if you fail and still have the family's food, if I don't choose and have to wander around and drink the northwest wind, you pity me?"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone who watched the excitement couldn't help but laugh.
"You-"
"The list said that they would gather in front of the Baixi Sect Immortal Gate early the morning after tomorrow, and Elder Ouyang should not be late. ”
Di Yunfeng pushed Ouyang Ci away with his shoulder, shook his big sleeves, and swaggered out of the crowd.
......
......
Evening.
The whole city is in the night.
The people of Xiangshui City don't seem to like nightlife, and the sky has just set, and the stalls, shops, and taverns have closed.
The streets are quiet and quiet.
If it were the usual, Di Yunfeng would definitely find a Qinglou to spend some money, but today is different, he still has to find those children who have always been there.
The child is innocent, no matter what he does, he can't hurt the child, Di Yunfeng had an extremely miserable childhood, perhaps because of this, he can't bear to see the tragedy repeated.
He transformed into an eight-year-old child, this is indeed what he looked like when he was a child, with a white and red face, dark and shiny eyes, he has had a kind of bohemian feelings since he was a child, so the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and there is no cunning between cuteness.
He crouched on the corner of the street, crying was unlikely to be able to cry, and he rarely cried in his memory, not in childhood or in his teenage years. He held his cheeks, pretending to be lost, waiting for the bad guys to take the bait.
The bad guys will be late, but they won't be absent.
Gradually.
The second watch day has arrived.
"Da Da!" two gongs rang in the night, and after one sound, half of the lights of thousands of homes were missing, and when two sounds sounded, thousands of households had closed their doors and windows.
"The weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle, the second watch day, arrive!"
"Dada!"
It's hard to imagine that there is a husband in the fairy world, and the husband is an identity, and it will not be suspicious that he walks in the night.
Di Yunfeng knew that the prey was about to be baited, so he used all his strength to squeeze out a few tears, accompanied by sobs that resounded in the silent night.
When the night is quiet, it becomes very small in a sense, it cannot hide the sound, and it cannot hide the people.
The husband found Di Yunfeng crying, he came to find his voice, and asked, "Little baby, where are you? Why don't you come home so late?"
Di Yunfeng covered his face and sobbed: "I don't have a home, I escaped." ”
"Oh, it's too dangerous for you to be a kid in the middle of the night...... Why don't you go home with me first, and I'll take you to Daddy early tomorrow morning?"
The husband pushed away Di Yunfeng's little hand, he saw Di Yunfeng, Di Yunfeng also saw him, he rubbed Di Yunfeng's little face: "What a cute little baby." ”
The husband is an old man, at least after the year of Jiazi, the hard life made his hair gray early, but he is old, but the spirit is there.
Di Yunfeng was in a trance, this old man didn't say that he was kind and kind, but he didn't have an evil appearance......
"Little baby, what's your name? Do you remember where you live?"
The old man showed a smile, but the kind eyebrows that he didn't have before were now there, he gently pulled up Di Yunfeng, patted the dust on Di Yunfeng's buttocks, and led him to the end of the street: "Let's go first, while there are still street lights, hehe, if I struck this gong for the third time, then this city will be completely dark." ”
Di Yunfeng had already dispelled the idea that this old man was a human trafficker, and he thought to himself that if he squatted back now, it would definitely not make sense, so it would be better to go back to the old man's house first, and then come out to wander after the third watch.
"My name is Di Yunfeng, and I don't remember where my home is. ”
The old man sighed, "Alas...... There have been a lot of traffickers in the city lately, and if I hadn't picked you up first tonight, you'd have been arrested again. ”
The old man must not have known that Di Yunfeng's original purpose was to let the traffickers arrest him, and he was so happy that he picked up a child.
In a short time, a street was opened, and at the end of the street there were two dilapidated blue-tiled houses, and a small chicken pen surrounded by stones beside the tiled houses. It seems that there is no other building else, and there is such a poor place in such a prosperous city, is this a broken ground or a treasure land?
The old man didn't even lock the door, and there was nothing worth stealing, and there were only two cabinets, a table, and a bed in the humble house, and the only exquisite furnishings were a Taishi chair, but there was also a missing piece on the backrest.
"Yun Feng, do you have any supper?" When the old man asked, he turned around and took out two large bowls from the cabinet, one bowl was knife head fat meat, and the other was Beijing sauce beef, he took out a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Di Yunfeng, and said with a smile: "Eat, it's all yours, I just went out to play, and it's still hot." ”
How could Di Yunfeng be reluctant not to accept the old man's affection, he happily took the chopsticks and feasted on them.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly......" The old man poured another bowl and handed it to Di Yunfeng.
It can be seen that the old man is very lonely, and his old eyes have never left Di Yunfeng. The old man was afraid of being lonely, so he said slowly: "Yunfeng, I'll send you home tomorrow." ”
"I don't have a home, I don't have a parent, I haven't seen each other since I was born. Di Yunfeng was telling the truth.
A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes: "Oh, that's it, how about you stay?" ”
Di Yunfeng stopped the chopsticks in his hand, he didn't accept it, he didn't object, and there was a subtle emotion in his heart.
The old man hurriedly said: "Don't look at my family's poverty, I have saved a lot of money for decades, the old man and I have a strong body, there is no problem in raising you to adulthood, maybe I can still see you marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Di Yunfeng had a lot of feelings in his heart, he was surprised, surprised, helpless, and even a little unconvinced, why? Why didn't he come early or late, but when he was sensible, these good people appeared? If he could meet this old man in front of him when he was eight years old, then why did he suffer so much and kill so many people?
Thinking about it, Di Yunfeng's tears fell "crackling", at this time his identity is only a child, then he should deduce the nature of a child - cry!
"Ouch, little cub, don't cry......" The old man was also infected, and he didn't know how to comfort Di Yunfeng with a tight heart.
"I promise you, I promise to stay and take good care of you!" Di Yunfeng made a promise with a crying voice, he naturally wanted to move on, but it was easy to leave a clone to take care of this lonely old man, so it should be regarded as accumulating goodness.
He cried out in his heart: Oh my God, I have done so many good things, I only ask you to have no regrets about me in the future, or I will take revenge!
"Whew!" Suddenly a spiritual light broke through the door, and precisely, exactly, opened a large hole in the old man's chest!
Di Yunfeng's brain "buzzed" and lost his mind, he looked at everything that happened in front of him in shock, déjà vu, everything seemed familiar, Haisheng was also killed by such a sudden spiritual light, he died in front of his eyes, he died in his arms!
"Baby...... Quick, run!" roared the old man with the last of his strength!
"Quick, don't let this kid slip away!"
"Hey, this can't be a fool, is it? Look at him, motionless, pushing and not responding. ”
"You don't care if he's stupid or not, the elder said that as long as it's a child, it's okay, take it back!"
The two white-clothed monks kicked in the door, Di Yunfeng was stunned on the chair like a wooden man, he would only do this when he was contemplating, and he would go on a killing spree when he figured it out.
A white-clothed monk wrapped Di Yunfeng in a burlap bag, put it on his shoulder, turned around and flew out of the room.
