Chapter 610: Substitution of Death
The huge jujube tree is lush and leafy, and its huge canopy is like a canopy, covering the sun, moon and stars overhead, and shrouding the entire yard in shade.
In autumn and winter, such a lush jujube tree will be able to produce a lot of jujubes.
It's a pity that it's cut down like this.
Mrs. Hao and the old woman saw that the jujube tree was cut down by this person's sword, and they were surprised and a little panicked in their hearts, because the huge jujube tree fell towards them and was about to hit themselves.
But at this time, Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to the jujube tree, and shouted in his mouth: "Small, small, small, become small." ”
Something miraculous happened.
But I saw that this huge jujube tree was rapidly shrinking, shrinking, and in just a moment, the huge jujube tree turned into a small sapling.
Where the small sapling falls to the ground, there is still a little power, and it is good to be able to crush the ants.
"Immortal spells, immortal spells. Mrs. Hao shouted again and again in shock, and her palms couldn't help but tremble.
Li Xiuyuan picked up the sapling and put it into the robe, and then said: "Thank you for the generosity of the two old people, your good deeds today will definitely be protected by God, and the poor Dao can assert that your children and daughters-in-law will definitely come back safely, and the poor Dao still has the urgent matter of saving people."
Disturbed the two old men and took their leave. ”
After speaking, he bowed and then stood up.
Mrs. Hao and the old woman hurriedly returned the salute respectfully, and when they saw the Taoist leaving, they were overjoyed: "Immortals, immortals, since the immortals have said that Xiao'er will be fine, it will definitely be fine." ”
The old woman next to her was heartbroken before she had not had a felled jujube tree, but she didn't feel heartache when she thought of the words of this fairy, and she just hoped that her child and daughter-in-law would return safely.
Li Xiuyuan did not go far after leaving the Hao family.
Instead, he walked to the corner and stopped.
He took out the trick he had cut down before from his robe, and then put it on the ground and then waved it and shouted: "Get up~!"
"Boom la la ......"
A huge jujube tree rises from the ground, covers the roof next to it, and stands on the side of the street.
However, the strange thing is that no one in the vicinity of such a big movement noticed it, and it seems that they did not see this jujube tree rising from the ground at all.
"It's easy for me to cast a spell to save Hao Zhao's family, but it still takes some thought to really eliminate this catastrophe for Hao Zhao's family. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.
Then he took out his sword and slashed at this trick several times, cutting off a full five tree trunks, and the originally tall jujube tree instantly became a large part shorter.
Li Xiuyuan sat on a stump, the sword in his hand chopped, and a section of wood was quickly cut in his hand, and after only a moment passed, this section of wood had already changed its appearance, and it was actually carved into the appearance of an old man by him.
The old man was lifelike, his clothes and hair were all clearly visible.
And the appearance of this old man is actually the appearance of Mrs. Hao before.
Another section of wood was fetched, and there was another chopping, and soon the second section of wood became the appearance of an old woman.
The third section of wood was taken, and after a period of carving and carving, it turned out to be a baby, looking only a year old.
.....
Li Xiuyuan carved the wooden statue of the Hao family of five with a frown alone, preparing to use these five wooden figures to cope with the catastrophe for the Hao family.
This calamity is not caused by their own evil, but is inflicted on them by others.
It is a man-made disaster.
The man-made disasters imposed on others can be avoided, and they do not violate heaven and earth, don't say Li Xiuyuan, even any Taoist who sees this and is moved by compassion, will also cast a spell to save him.
Soon, the five statues were completed and placed on the side of the street in turn.
At this time, a passing merchant saw a Taoist selling five wood carvings, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he felt that this wood carving was extraordinary, lifelike, like a real person, and couldn't help but say: "This Taoist chief, how about you sell me this wood carving? I will give one or two pieces of silver." ”
"It's not for sale. Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
"Dao Chief, how about I add you another tael of silver? A total of six taels, sell me these five wood carvings together? This price is already very high. Shang Jia said.
Although the price is high, but he thought that if he bought a monopoly to go to the capital, he would definitely be able to earn dozens of taels of silver, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that this was an opportunity to make a fortune, and he must buy these five statues.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This is not for sale, please leave, don't be greedy." ”
"How about ten taels? That's the highest price I've ever had. Shang Jia gritted his teeth and said with a very distressed look.
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said: "You are really greedy, and you don't listen to any persuasion, but it doesn't matter if you sell the poor way, you ask it, if it says that it sells the poor way, how can it be good?" After speaking, he pointed to a wooden man next to him.
Shang Jia smiled: "The Taoist chief said that it was a wooden statue, although it was lifelike, but after all, it was just a wooden statue, so how could it talk about business." ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a wooden statue opened his mouth and glared at Shang Jia and said, "Is a human life worth two taels of silver?"
Shang Jia's face changed greatly, and he turned pale in an instant with fright, and fell directly to the ground.
"How much is that human life worth?" asked another wooden statue.
"Anyway, it's more than two taels of silver. A baby wooden statue came to life, giggling.
"Don't sell, don't sell. Another wooden statue shook its arms and shook its head in refusal.
"Hell~!"
Shang Jia crawled and ran away crying and running, and after a while, he had disappeared without a trace, and he could swear in his life that he would never dare to buy a wooden statue again.
Li Xiuyuan smiled, he looked at the wooden statue again, it was still just an ordinary wooden statue, where was it still alive.
As he sat for a moment, he heard the voice of a group of men and horses coming from the street.
"It's good, it's not in vain that I've worked hard to perform a substitute death. ”
Li Xiuyuan immediately waved his hand and put away the wood carvings of Hao Zhao and Hao, leaving only the wood carvings of Hao Taigong and the old woman and the baby.
"I am a guard under the command of King Yue, and I came to arrest the military household Hao Zhao's family on the order of King Yue. "The guard who left on horseback before has come to Lixian at this moment, and now he is leading a loud roar, followed by a group of officials.
"This adult, Hao Zhao's family is small, just around the corner of the street in the west of the city, and there is a huge jujube tree in the courtyard is his house. A servant replied.
"Okay, follow me to arrest someone. The guard under Zhao Rui shouted.
Soon.
The horseback guard galloped over with a dozen servants.
"This is it. A servant pointed to the jujube tree beside Li Xiuyuan.
The guards immediately turned over and dismounted, and rushed in with the people.
On the street, it was as if they had broken into some house, and when there was nothing, they kicked in the door, rummaged around, and sat in the air in strange ways.
Li Xiuyuan sat there without moving, as if it didn't exist, and no one noticed it even in front of him.
"I found it, it's Hao Zhao's father,"
Hao Zhao's mother was also there. ”
"This is Hao Zhao's youngest son. ”
The guard said loudly: "Arrest them all, bring the people, and follow me." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
A group of officials pressed the three wooden carvings and followed Zhao Rui's guards out of the city quickly.
After they left, Li Xiuyuan slowly walked out from the corner of the street, and then left with the group.
However, when they escorted Hao Zhao's family to the post station, Li Xiuyuan had already returned to the post station in a few breaths after casting a spell.
But at this time, Hao Zhao was still kneeling at the door of the post station and kowtowing.
Even if he is a martial arts master, he has a strong physique and has the strength to protect his body, at this time, his forehead can't help but be bruised, and the blue bricks on the ground where he kowtowed were shattered, leaving a hole.
After Zhao Rui calmly cleaned the blood stains and bandaged the wounds under the service of the guards, he stood up, waved his hand and said, "Yes, your performance is very satisfactory, you don't need to kowtow." ”
Hao Zhao stopped abruptly, he no longer shed tears, he now just desperately hopes to leave with his wife, and after returning to the county, he will take his family to move away, and he will no longer have to be threatened by this dog official.
"Look at you, your head is broken, it's pitiful. Zhao Rui sighed with a pitiful look, "But you kowtowed just now and looked like a dog." ”
"So you untouchables are cheap, dogs can't change to eat, they naturally like to give this king, no, kowtow to our Zhao family, kowtow so hard, it's really hard for you, haha. ”
Speaking of the back, he laughed heartily again.
"Now you can let us go. Hao Zhao knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth.
The Hao family next to him was sobbing with his head, and he was already the master of the six gods.
