Maple Rises and Moon Chapter 2 Strange Scholar
People come and go, bustling.
After Jiang Lique woke up, he walked aimlessly in the East Gate Bazaar of Yuehua City, thinking about his thoughts.
Suddenly, he turned left into a dimly lit narrow alley and walked straight down, thinking about many previous questions in his mind.
As he turned into a narrower alley again, an inopportune voice interrupted his train of thought.
"This son, but you don't have something to understand?"
Jiang Lique looked for prestige, and a thin scholar with a slender body, a white face, and a Confucian shirt was looking at him with a smile.
He is holding a yellow and white cloth flag, with the book "can understand yin and yang, and penetrate the dream", and his right hand is carried behind a worldly master, and the corner of his mouth hangs a smile that is just right, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
This person is obviously a physiognomy teacher, but he is wearing a Confucian costume, which is so strange.
Jiang Lique looked at this strange man who suddenly appeared, and wondered a little: "What's the matter with the little brother?"
The Confucian scholar was full of confidence for some reason, and he spoke unhurriedly: "I Guan Gongzi's brows are tightly locked, the corners of his mouth are slightly pursed, and his steps are disorderly.
Speaking of this, Confucius paused slightly.
Jiang Lique was about to speak, and the Confucian scholar said slowly: "Under the teacher of Jiuhua Immortals, since childhood to practice Zhou Yi for more than ten years, I see that Gongzi and I have a fate, so I follow here, I don't know what Gongzi has to solve, I am willing to mention one or two points for Gongzi." ”
Jiang Lique was stunned, why is it Jiuhua Mountain again?
When the Confucian saw that Jiang Lique stood still and did not answer, he seemed to be doubting himself, his face changed, and he said unhappily: "What? You don't believe it? If you don't count a hexagram first, if not, you will never charge a penny from your son!"
When Jiang Lique was still thinking about it, he was provoked by Confucianism's words, but he didn't react for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, dare to ask the little brother, I have always dreamed of a woman in white in my dreams in the past few years, it is very strange, dare to ask why?"
Confucian first stared at Jiang Lique for a long time, and Jiang Lique's heart was furious.
Then the Confucian made a finger pinching with his right hand, pondered for a moment and stared at Jiang Lique and asked, "Is there a deceased person in the son's family?"
Jiang Li was short for a moment, and without thinking about it, he replied: "My mother passed away seven years ago. ”
After hearing this, the Confucian student smiled slightly, and said with his head bowed: "That's right, I look at Gongzi's life and parents, and the daughter in this dream should be the remnant soul of Gongzi's mother." ”
Jiang Lique was puzzled, he knew that the woman was definitely not his mother, but this Confucian just looked at it and pinched his fingers.
"Then why does she appear so often in my dreams?" Jiang Lique asked after thinking for a while.
The Confucian student looked at Jiang Lique, and suddenly sighed and said compassionately: "You ordered your parents, although this remnant soul was your mother before her death, but after her death, she has become a powerful ghost, and she is here to ask you for blood debts, in order to reincarnate and transcend!"
Jiang Lique listened to Confucius's words, and looked at him with a sad and compassionate look, and was speechless for a while, feeling that something was wrong but couldn't say it, after a little thought, he immediately had an idea in his heart.
Jiang Lique asked: "You said that I killed my parents, but why didn't I see my father's remnant soul?"
The Confucian was stunned when asked, and didn't seem to think about how to answer, so he immediately coughed and said incomprehensibly: "This... Childe's father must have been buried properly, plus Childe's usually..."
Jiang Lique sneered when he heard this, and sneered: "My father is not dead at all!
"This..."The Confucian student's face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Lique understood in his heart, snorted coldly, ignored him at the moment, and turned his head to leave.
"Hey, don't go, Childe, you haven't paid your honorarium yet!" The Confucian saw that Jiang Lique turned his head and left, and his heart was anxious, so he grabbed the corner of Jiang Lique's clothes and shouted.
Jiang Lique was a little annoyed in his heart, this person was so messing around!
"You charlatan! What kind of money do you want me to give for your nonsense!"
The Confucian student was full of embarrassment and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Childe, can you talk about it in detail and count it later!"
Jiang Lique looked at this liar for a while, and thought, there is nothing to do, this liar is so difficult, it is better to see what tricks this charlatan has, anyway, he will never give money.
Jiang Lique sneered and said: "I'll see what tricks you liar can calculate! I have dreamed of this woman several times in the past eight years, most once every three or five days, and once every month, and every time she appears, it must be in the mountains, the peaks are beautiful, towering into the clouds, and the extraordinary mountains are comparable, and the woman seems to be the same age as me when I first saw her, but now she has grown into a girl, isn't it strange? After the dream, I can't remember the details of the dream with this woman, but you can tell me what happened?"
Confucian didn't care about being embarrassed, took out a small yellow book from his arms, and began to flip through it quickly.
Jiang Lique watched from the side, and sneered even more.
Touch it for a moment.
"I found it! What Childe said is consistent with the technique of inducing dreams into the soul! It is the same as what is said in the book!" the Confucian scholar stared at the little yellow book and said seriously.
"What is that?" Jiang Lique looked puzzled.
Confucius didn't answer immediately, he first looked left and right, and then pulled Jiang Lique aside and asked mysteriously, "Gongzi believes that there are immortals in the world?"
"It's... Perhaps, right?" Jiang Lique hesitated.
He really hadn't thought about this problem, Jiang Lique thought that the most powerful thing in the world was the hero of martial arts, and the gods and gods were too ethereal for him.
Confucian looked left and right again, pulled Jiang Lique closer, and whispered: "I didn't believe in this until I picked up this ancient book, and I used to read poetry and books in Xia, but what I said in this book is really incredible, beyond imagination, and some of the truths are very convincing, and a spell recorded in this book is consistent with Gongzi's dream." ”
Seeing that this Confucian student didn't look like a lie, Jiang Lique stared at the little yellow book in Confucian's hand and was suspicious.
Confucius continued: "The techniques of inducing dreams into the soul recorded in this book are also very unknown, but it is mentioned that as long as you find the place where the dream is located or the person you meet in the dream, all dreams can be solved. ”
"I only know that the majesty of the mountains and rivers is rare in the world, but I don't know the name of the place, how to find it? I have never seen that woman's face, where do I interpret my dreams?" Jiang Li said without looking.
Jiang Lique thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense? How easy is it to find the location of the character? Not to mention that Jiang Lique has never been out of Yuehua City in his life.
Confucian thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, if Gongzi tells you the appearance of the mountains and rivers, and helps you depict them, and then flips through the geography books, won't there be clues?"
Jiang Lique looked at Confucius and was a little puzzled, why was this person so attentive?
Seeing that Jiang Lique was still hesitating, Confucian thought that he still didn't trust him because of the matter of Fang Cai, so he hurriedly said: "It was wrong just now, this time I will never charge a penny from my son!"
Jiang Lique thought to himself, whether this matter is true or not, and it doesn't cost money, in short, it's better than nothing, so he thought for a while and said: "Since that's the case, then please sir, in Xia Jiang Lique, I don't know what to call Mr."
"In Xia Gu Qingyan, tomorrow is still this time, prepare enough pen and ink, and we can meet here again. Gu Qingyan finally agreed when he saw Jiang Lique, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
In fact, Gu Qingyan is not from Yuehuacheng, and in his hometown, Gu Qingyan is a well-known prodigy, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten.
One day Gu Qingyan accidentally picked up a book, and since then his spirit began to become abnormal, and he began to be obsessed with asking for immortals, and a few years later, his parents both passed away, and he wandered to Yuehua City to become a phase master to cheat the rivers and lakes, so as to live.
Gu Qingyan didn't know why, as soon as he saw this young man, he felt that this person would be related to his immortal fate, so he decided to help him break his dream and find his own chance.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Lique came to yesterday's place as agreed, and was about to turn into the alley when he heard someone inside shouting and scolding: "You liar! You dare to deceive Uncle Ben, see if I don't kill you!"
"Bastard, do you still dare to deceive people? Dare to say that Lao Tzu was cuckolded, I don't think you want to live anymore!"
Jiang Lique hid at the entrance of the alley and secretly looked into the alley, where three strong men in black shirts were punching and kicking Gu Qingyan fiercely.
The black shirt is short, and the arms are tied with Jiao pattern scarves, these three people are members of the Jiao Gang!
Gu Qingyan lay on the ground and wailed for a while, it wouldn't take long to fight like this, Gu Qingyan would definitely be beaten to death!
Jiang Lique looked at Gu Qingyan who was lying on the ground struggling and wailing, he really couldn't bear it, gritted his teeth, rushed up directly, hugged his fists and said: "You heroes of the Jiao Gang! I don't know where my friend has offended you, I am willing to compensate him, please show mercy to your subordinates!"
Seeing a thin young man suddenly appear at the entrance of the alley, the three of them were stunned, and looked at Jiang Liqian in unison.
A black-shirted man at the head looked at Jiang Lique, his eyes rolled as if he had thought of something, and said with a strange smile: "Are you willing to compensate him? Do you know how much money he deceived Lao Tzu?"
"It's... My friend usually looks at physiognomy and can't deceive you with a few dollars, right? At most, it's only a few taels of silver, and I'm willing to compensate for all of them. Jiang Lique thought to himself, these few taels of silver were all his belongings.
When the black-shirted man heard this, he suddenly laughed out loud: "How many taels? I heard you right?
"Ergouzi, tell him how much money he cheated on us!"
The black-shirted man thought to himself, this money is much more expensive than human life, so why not kill it?
"Big brother, this rabbit cub has deceived us for a total of five taels, counting the interest at this time, plus the slander against you, big brother, it should be five hundred taels!" one of the black-shirted men said twice, yin and yang.
Jiang Liqi felt bitter in his heart, he knew that he was being blackmailed now, but it was too late to get out now.
Jiang Lique began to regret why he was so kind and nosy to save this liar!
But now there is no other way!
When he was in a hurry, Jiang Lique remembered Yun Qian, who had just joined the Covering Jiao Gang, and his confidence suddenly increased: "Guys and gentlemen, there are also brothers in the Covering Jiao Gang, can you give a face... How convenient is it?"
The black-shirted man was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What's your brother's name?"
Jiang Lique replied calmly: "His name is Yun Qian, and he only joined the gang yesterday. ”
The black-shirted man thought for a moment and didn't expect that there would be an extra person named Yunqian in the gang, but he couldn't remember all the thousands of brothers in the gang.
The black-shirted man is just a small leader in the gang, and private fights have always been strictly forbidden in the gang.
However, since he has just joined the gang, he doesn't have to give too much face!
Thinking of this, the black-shirted man snorted and said, "Since they are all friends who know each other, then I will spare him once, you prepare a hundred taels, and ask your friend to send it to me within three days, and the matter will be over!"
Where can he get a hundred taels of silver! Looking at Gu Qingyan, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Jiang Lique sighed in his heart, he could only save him first and then think of other methods, Jiang Lique took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Yes, the money must be prepared within three days!
The black-shirted man stared at Jiang Lique viciously, then kicked Gu Qingyan, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, snorted coldly, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go! Boy, don't forget to send the money to the South Gate Gambling House in three days! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare your brother!"
After a few people left, Jiang Lique was about to step forward to see Gu Qingyan, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Suddenly, he was shocked to realize that there was a pair of eyes watching him behind him!
Jiang Lique's sweat and hairs rose all over his body!
