The beggar boy walked on the street, wandering around at will, and unconsciously came to a Taoist temple in a crowded city, at this time, his stomach gurgled, so he touched his hungry belly with his hand, and took out the silver he had just sold calligraphy and painting from his arms, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Steamed buns, hot meat buns......"

Hearing the shouting on the side of the street, Yi Shaotian took out the silver taels, and staggered to buy a few hot buns from the vendor.

He walked to a sparsely populated stone table and sat down, picked up a bun and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed with a smile in his heart: "A good scholar, he can't go back to his home, why did something fall from the sky and fall down? People are unlucky...... Hey!"

He smiled wryly, then stood up and straddled the stone bench, ready to recite a poem.

"Kind people, please give me a bun. An old beggar smiled at him, and the poem he had just wanted to chant was swallowed back in an instant, and he was a little annoyed.

The drunken old beggar was holding an old black wooden cane with a pot of wine hanging from his waist, and leaned over to the young scholar with a smile, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Little brother, what a fragrant bun, can you share one?"

The beggar boy was expressionless, glanced at the old beggar, spread his hands and said, "What's in it for me?"

The old beggar smiled and said, "As a beggar, you have a little sharing spirit, okay?" ”

Then, without his consent, he grabbed a big meat bun on the stone table and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother, I don't know which rudder the little brother is from the beggar gang?"

The beggar boy was very displeased, and looked at the old beggar's black and dirty hands in amazement: "Beggar gang? You see that I look like a beggar? I am a genius...... Never mind...... I told you that you didn't know!"

I saw the old beggar smile and said: "When did our beggar gang come out with talent? It seems that the number of people is expanding too fast, and I am also lonely." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a bun from the stone table and devoured it.

The beggar boy was displeased, but he still showed a harmless smile on his face, lamenting the faint suffering and hardship of the seemingly prosperous Yuzhou City.

The old beggar nodded in satisfaction, sang a little song, took off the flask at his waist, and took a long sip of it.

Smelling the aroma of wine, the beggar boy's eyes lit up, jumped down, snatched the wine jug, and said with a wicked smile: "This ...... This is Yuzhou fine wine spring breeze drunk, what a good wine!"

After that, open your mouth and drink bitterly.

"Ahh

Legend has it that this wine got its name because when a glass is in the stomach, the wind will blow and pour.

The beggar boy took three long sips, a little drunk, his figure swayed, and he sang in his mouth: "A pot of spring breeze drunk at the fingertips, it is not too expensive to envy the immortals." One smile of the spring breeze relieves a thousand sorrows, two smiles of the spring breeze are full of flowers, and three smiles ......"

He took another big sip half-drunk and half-awake before handing it to the old man with satisfaction.

"Haha, I didn't expect our beggar gang to have a talent who can recite poetry and lyrics, well, it's really good......," the old beggar took the flask and laughed.

"Come on, little brother, let's keep drinking. The old beggar took out a delicate little bowl from his bosom, filled it with wine, and the two of them toasted and drank it.

When the wine in the cup was exhausted, the beggar boy smiled drunkenly: "It's really good wine, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

The old beggar said, "What is the pity?"

The beggar boy sighed: "It's a pity that this wine is too spicy, neither the mellow and too white of drunkenness, nor the sweetness of drunken wine......"

The old beggar suddenly sobered up, his eyes widened and he said angrily: "You little brat, could it be that you have drunk too white?"

The beggar boy smiled comfortably and said, "Uncle, don't be angry first, what is there that can't be solved with a pot of wine? If one pot doesn't work, drink another pot, uncle, do you still have wine?"

The old beggar smiled dumbly and said: "Haha, I didn't expect the little brother to be so happy as a beggar, it's really a blessing for the beggars, but unfortunately, the pot is empty." He stood up and prepared to leave.

The beggar boy said: "Uncle, you have to drink good wine today, and Xiaosheng will definitely get drunk with Taibai one day." ”

The old beggar smiled dumbly and said: "Haha, drunk too white, the recipe of this wine has long been lost, and even Taibai Lou can only brew ten miles of incense." Only half of the drunken Taibai that has been treasured for a hundred years is left, which is the treasure of the town building, and it is difficult to change it, how do you taste it?"

The old beggar smiled, secretly glad that he had drunk the drunken Taibai by chance, and staggered and sang a song away.

The beggar boy squinted, faced the wind, smiled slightly, and then fell drunk on the stone table.

A cold wind blew, and the beggar boy shivered, and woke up in his dream, it was already the middle of the night.

He sneezed and touched it in his arms.

It turned out that when he was drunk, his belongings were stolen, which was really careless, and then he touched it again, but fortunately, the jade ring around his neck was still there, which was something he had carried since he was a child, and it was a family heirloom.

The beggar boy laughed at himself: "People are unlucky, and even they can't believe it." It's the middle of the night now, and it seems that I can only climb in and sleep for one night tonight......"

This beggar boy is none other than Yi Shaotian, the head of the talented people in Yuzhou, who was hit by a ray of light falling from the sky when he was playing in the mountains and rivers, and fell into a black well in the grass as soon as he stumbled.

He skillfully climbed over the wall and quietly walked towards the scripture pavilion in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

The presiding officer of the Xuan Miao Temple is not empty Taoist is a master of the Tao, carefully reads ancient Taoist classics, loves literature and painting, and Yi Shaotian's father Yi Tiande has a deep friendship, because Yi Tiande has been doing business abroad for many years, so Yi Shaotian spent his youth in this Taoist temple.

His hard reading at an early age laid a solid foundation for his literature, and he re-copied a large collection of books in the Xuan Miaoguan. Because he is brilliant and has an amazing talent in literature and painting, he was recommended to worship under the painting king Wu Yibai and the grandmaster of the Donglin Academy Shen Jianglai, who learned painting skills under the painting king Wu Yibai since he was a child, and practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and poetry and poetry under the calligraphy maniac Shen Jianglai. When he was ten years old, he became popular all over Yuzhou, and later became known as the four sons of Yuzhou together with Zhu Donglai, Wen Youdao, and Xu Xiaoyao. Yi Shaotian not only has excellent calligraphy and painting, but also poetry and songs, and a large number of literary works and paintings have been passed down to the people by the world.

"The collection of books is ten thousand volumes, the fairy fate, the Xuange Thousand Leaves are not in the cave. ”

This scripture pavilion is inlaid in the stone wall of the backyard of the Xuanmiaoguan, and only the large mahogany door is exposed, which is a wonder.

This stone wall is also known as the Thousand Phases Wall, which is carved with a large number of scriptures and many Taoist statues of different forms, mysterious and majestic.

Yi Shaotian was shocked to find that the door of the Scripture Pavilion was half-hidden, and a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Shaotian, come in." ”

Yi Shaotian heard the voice of the chief of the empty road, and was surprised and delighted, the master had traveled far away a few years ago and had not returned for a long time, how could he know that he was coming?

He tiptoed into the hall, the moonlight fell through the window in the hall, and he saw an old man sitting in front of the bronze statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun, emitting a faint blue light.

The old man was dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and a golden crown on his head, and he was closing his eyes and spitting out.

Yi Shaotian was very surprised and asked, "Master, how did you know that I was coming?"

Only then did the old man open his eyes and look at him carefully, with a strange expression between his eyebrows, and he pinched his fingers and counted it.

Yi Shaotian was afraid that he would not be able to see his current face clearly at night, so he hurriedly brushed the hair behind his head, stepped forward and said politely: "Master." ”

"Shaotian, sit down. ”

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and the harsh wind whistled sound, and the lights in the pavilion were suddenly bright, and several long candles burned when they heard the wind.

Yi Shaotian was not surprised, he only began to pay attention to his master's face at this time, and said in shock: "Master, your face?" Master's Yin Hall was a little black, and there was still a bloody mark on his face.

Looking at Yi Shaotian, Bukong Dao Chang was a little happy, and he couldn't hide his loving heart and said: "I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity, and you accidentally ate the strange fruit, which made your body reborn." ”

Yi Shaotian was surprised and delighted: "Master, I know you...... Surely you can figure it out? You're really good. ”

"Ahem, I guessed. Yesterday's everything, today's cause and effect, less heaven ......"

Yi Shaotian saw that Master Bukong's expression became serious, and hurriedly said, "Listen, disciple, Master, how is your health?"

"Shaotian, for the sake of the teacher, I fell into the demon poison of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, although it was temporarily suppressed, but I am afraid it ......"

Yi Shaotian was shocked and said, "Master, the Nine-Tailed Fox King......?" It's a joke. ”

The head of the empty road said angrily: "Do you think it's a joke for the teacher?"

He took out a short and delicate scroll from his arms, and said seriously: "What joy in life, what a pity in death, Shaotian, there is one thing to entrust to you as a teacher, although this nine-tailed fox king has been seriously injured by me, I am afraid that sooner or later it will harm the world." ”

Yi Shaotian's eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "Master, are there really monsters in this world?"

Bukong Dao said: "I got some information from the demon fox, she should have come here to find the demon spirit transformed by the nine fox tails, this nine true map is now handed over to you, you need to protect them and seal the demon spirit before the fox king finds these nine women." ”

Yi Shaotian said with a dark face: "Master, you should leave this important task to others, how can a disciple catch any monsters except for reciting poems and painting? In case you lose your face and lose your reputation, this is not good." ”

Bukong Dao Chang smiled and said: "Do you know that this nine-tailed demon fox is a great demon who has become a spirit, and her demon spirit is only possessed by peerless beauties full of aura, with your personality, don't you want to save them from the sea of suffering? However, if you want to seal the demon spirit, you will definitely have a skin-to-skin relationship with these women, you don't want to let them down." ”

Yi Shaotian pondered: "In this way, do you mean that I still have to marry them?" Master, let me think about this matter, but unfortunately I am not good at catching demons and ghosts, can you send me a few masters of the Dao?"

Bukong Dao Chang smiled weirdly: "This demon is very cunning, there are many people who will inevitably startle the snake, this Nine True Diagram is a sealing magic weapon, as long as you take advantage of the demon spirits when they leave the body, suck them into the painting, you can suppress and refine." ”

Yi Shaotian pinched a handful of sweat and said, "This ...... Master, this is a very difficult task, it seems to be an impossible task. ”

"Stinky boy, can you be serious, this is an important task entrusted to you, if you can't complete it, heaven and earth will fall into chaos, and the world will become purgatory, not to mention Yuzhou City, the entire Southern Xuan Kingdom will fall into darkness forever. ”
