After walking for two days, the remote path came to an end, and it was merged with the official road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the flat and spacious official road, there are constantly pedestrians coming and going. There are also carts loaded with goods, one after another.

It's safe on the official road, and you don't have to worry about bandits blocking the road. Occasionally, I saw an official with a long knife at his waist, and he didn't seem to be willing to pay attention to a villager like Niu Er.

I didn't walk long along the official road when I saw a big river in front of me.

The river is wide and the smoke is vast. At a glance, you can't even see the other side of the river.

At the end of the official road, there is a ferry.

There are big ships parked on the dock, loaded with people, and they are very busy.

The seventh grandmother said that out of the village and all the way to the north, it is Qingjiang.

As for Kongming Mountain, you have to cross the Qingjiang River to find out.

Niu Er stood outside the dock and watched for a long time, and understood that the ferry crossing the river was not for nothing, but for money.

Money, Niu Er is a little.

A few pieces of broken silver were found on the middle-aged man with horizontal eyebrows, and there were a few small coins on the tea stand.

But Niu Er was reluctant to spend it.

Growing so big, Niu Er has his own money for the first time.

And it's in exchange for life.

If you don't take a boat, how can you cross the Qingjiang River?

Niu Er was standing on the bank of the river, facing the river, but a cough suddenly sounded behind him.

Niu Er turned around, and a person was standing behind Niu Er.

A messy head of hair, haphazardly twisted into a bun and standing on top of his head. The thin face is dirty, and it looks like it hasn't been washed in days. The sparse beard, sparse, doesn't seem to be intentional, but there is really no tool to shave it. A black robe covered in patches. The bare neck of the feet was exposed under the robe, and the straw sandals were on the feet.

You're really miserable when you dress up!

Niu Er looked at the person behind him. The man looked at Niu Er, and suddenly a smile was piled up on his face.

The grinning mouth showed two rows of black and yellow teeth.

The man smiled at Niu Er, and Niu Er's heart was a little weak with laughter, and he couldn't help but clench the burden in his hand.

Niu Er once heard Grandpa Wu talk about it, saying that in the big city of the state capital, there are people who specialize in selling jokes for a living. Rely on your voice to please people in exchange for money.

This is, did you meet a joke?

Since it's a joke, I definitely won't show you a smile in vain. You're going to have to collect money.

Niu Er was reluctant to even pay for the boat crossing the river, how could he give a reward for others to smile at him.

Niu Er turned around to leave, but the man stretched out his hand to stop Niu Er and asked:

"This little brother has always been good?"

Niu Er avoided the man and said:

"Say something if you have something. ”

The man laughed and said to Niu Er:

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, I've got a bargain for you here. ”

Hearing that it wasn't a joke to collect money, Niu Er stopped and looked at the man.

The man continued:

"This little brother, I see that you are amazingly gifted, and you must be a genius in the world. I have a peerless book of heaven here to pass on to you, you take it to practice according to it, and after you finish your studies, you will definitely be able to stabilize the country and save the common people. What do you think?"

The man spoke in a hoarse voice with a strange cacophony. The way of chewing the words is like crepe.

Niu Er stared at the man. The man kept grinning at Niu Er, laughing so hard that his cheeks were almost stiff. 牛二才 says:

"Take it. ”

The man couldn't hold on, put away his smile, and asked rhetorically:

"Take what?"

What to take?

Niu Er looked at the person in front of him.

"Heavenly book. Didn't you say that there was a book for me? ”

Hearing Niu Er's words, a smile appeared on the man's face again, nodded and said:

"Of course, of course, you and I are destined, and I must give you this book of heaven. ”

Looking at Niu Er, the man continued:

"Just ......"

Niu Er looked at him and asked:

"Just what?"

The man smiled and said:

"My book is unique in the world. I pass it on to you, and it is also destined by God. Why don't you send me something back?"

Niu Er stared at the man and laughed.

"The fox's tail is out. After a big circle, you still want to blackmail my money. ”

"Don't get me wrong. ”

The man waved his hand at Niu Er.

"I don't want your money. ”

Don't want money, what do you want?

Niu Er stared at the man and took a step back.

In broad daylight, there were officers patrolling the ferry. How dare you take someone's life?

The man continued:

"I don't want your money, I don't want your corn nest to fill your belly, I don't want clothes, hats, shoes and socks, anything useful to you. ”

The man paused as he spoke, as if adjusting the smile on his face, and added:

"Look at any useless objects on your body, just give them to me as a souvenir. ”

Niu Er counted the things in the baggage, and all of them were useful.

It's useless, who carries it on your back.

Niu Er thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a result, the man pretended to be careless and reminded:

For example, a wooden stick that you pick up, a clay bowl that pops out of the gap, or a scribble on a waist card. ”

I don't have a wooden stick pottery bowl, and I really have a piece of the waist card with scribbling.

Niu Er stared at the man.

But how do you know that I have a card with words written on it?

That card was tucked into the waist by Niu Er, blocked under the placket. Don't say you see it at a glance, even if you reach out and touch it, you may not be able to touch it.

The man looked at Niu Er, then put his hand under the open robe, and took out a book for a long time. The golden light is shining, and it looks very dazzling.

The man then said:

"How about it, have you thought about it? You give me that useless waist card, and this Great Dao Heavenly Book is yours." ”

Niu Er glanced at the book in the man's hand.

What is the Book of Heaven of the Great Dao, Niu Er doesn't know. What about that card, Niu Er can't tell where it came from.

But the guy in front of him, after going around in such a big circle, actually wants to use the book in his hand to exchange for the cards on his body.

Niu Er couldn't tell which of the two things was more valuable. But Niu Er knew that the guy in front of him was so painstakingly trying to get this card, which meant that it was very important.

Niu Er shook his head and said:

"No, I don't change. ”

When the man heard this, he became anxious and said:

"My book of heaven is from the hands of Daluo Immortals, how many Taoists in Kongming Mountain who seek immortals, give up their thousands of gold just to see it. Now it is passed on to you, so that you can take advantage of it. You're reluctant to trade a useless card for it. ”

Niu Er looked at the man with an angry look, couldn't help laughing, and said:

"You are so powerful, you can see through what is hidden in me, why don't you see that I haven't studied, and I can't read big characters. I can't read any book on the earth, but if you give me a book from heaven, I can read it? I can't read it, so why do you want it? Useless stuff, I'll trade with you!"

The person in front of Niu Er may have really not thought of this, and when Niu Er said this, he was stunned for a moment.
