Chapter 13 The ghost is sorrowful and witty
If character is a gift from God to people, then Ye Cheng must have been favored, even if he encounters difficulties and dangers, he always faces them with an optimistic attitude, just like what he said in prison that day, if you know that death is approaching, you must enjoy the sunshine when you are alive.

What's even more commendable is that his character does not come from a carefree life experience, but from a bumpy and tortuous background. He was reluctant to show a look of suffering, because he was aware of the responsibility he had.
Xie Nu beside him had a completely different personality, his bare arms were covered with old scars, as if telling an unbearable past, and he was reluctant to mention his suffering, but his eyes were always full of worry and uneasiness.
Along the way, Ye Cheng looked at Xie Nu, and the more he didn't speak, the more Ye Cheng became interested in him.
"I'm a Chu madman, Feng Ge laughed at Kong Qiu. Holding a green jade staff, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower. Ye Cheng chanted aloud as he walked, chatting for entertainment.
"Brother Xie, you said that Li Taibai back then, how free and uninhibited he was, he had walked all over the great rivers and mountains in his life, and read all the spring in the world, this is his life in vain, did you say yes?" Ye Cheng asked himself.
"Who is Li Taibai?" Xie Nu asked.
Ye Cheng looked at Xie Nu in surprise, and when he saw his serious appearance, he knew that he was not joking. So he smiled: "He, like us, is a chivalrous man who has no fixed place to live and travels the rivers and lakes." ”
"His martial arts must not be weak. Xie Nu said with a serious face.
Ye Cheng thought it was interesting, but he didn't dare to show it, so he had to pretend to be serious and said: "He often holds a three-foot sword in his hand, and he has also written the poem "Draw the sword and look around at a loss", but martial arts are just ordinary. ”
"Then he can't be called a knight. Xie Nu said coldly.
"Brother Xie, in this world, you don't have to be a person with strong martial arts to be called a chivalrous person. Do you know, Tang Xuanzong loved Li Bai's talent deeply, once summoned by the Jinluan Palace, personally mixed the spoon and gave food, and invited him to compose poems in the Agarwood Pavilion for fun, never thought that Xuanzong had already studied the ink in the pavilion, but he couldn't find Li Bai. Guess why?" Ye Cheng asked with a smile.
"I don't know. Xie Nu said.
It turned out that Li Bai happened to get a bottle of wine that day, and he was drinking it alone in a secluded place. The Son of Heaven couldn't get on the boat, and claimed that his ministers were immortals in wine. With such courage and contempt for the powerful, even if they are strong in martial arts, how many people can match them?" Ye Chengdao.
"I didn't think he'd be a good drinker. Xie Nu became a little interested in Li Bai and said.
Ye Cheng continued: "What's more, the big celebrity around Xuanzong, Gao Lishi, the Duke of Qi, always flies in front of Li Bai, looking invincible, but it happens that Xuanzong has foreign documents to find someone to identify, Li Bai traveled to Fanbang in his early years, but he recognized it, Xuanzong Dayue asked him to draft a reply document, Li Bai took the opportunity to say that the boots were too tight, and it was inconvenient to write, and the tall man needed to take off his boots to write. Xuanzong immediately ordered, and Gao Lishi, a big official above 10,000 people under one person, had no choice but to bend down to help Li Bai take off his boots in full view. ”
"I didn't expect this Li Bai to dare to tease the powerful like this, he can indeed be regarded as a chivalrous man. Xie Nu said.
"Yes, by the way, Brother Xie, don't you like poetry at all? I think poetry has a lot in common with martial arts, and our fist and knife techniques actually contain the mystery of poetry. Ye Chengdao.
"Poetry can't kill, knives can. "Xie Nu reverted to that coldness.
"Sometimes saving people is more important than killing people. Ye Cheng said thoughtfully.
"When we arrive, let's see if we kill people with my knife or save people with your poems. Xie Nuyao pointed ahead.
Ye Cheng looked in the direction of Xie Nu's finger, but saw that the landscape was beautiful, and the pine hall was green, which was very good-looking.
"What kind of place is this?" Qi Dahai asked.
"Ghost sorrowful stream, organ ambush, eight or nine times out of ten are here, there were also people in the martial arts who wanted to go up the mountain to find the jade scorpion Niangniang to seek revenge, but no one could cross this ghost sorrowful stream, this mountain stream always seems so calm, but those who have come have already become dry bones in the grave. Xie Nu said.
"Brother Xie, are you familiar with the news ambush here?" Ye Cheng asked.
"The ambush here is set up by the owner of Qizhai Hong Youtian, this guy looks white and clean, suave, and flattering, plus there is a lot of research on the traps of the organ, and he is deeply favored by Niangniang, and now he is already the deputy chief owner of the village, a few days ago Niangniang went to Yixing with a number of entourage, and now the affairs of the owner of the village, should be in charge of him. Xie Nu said, his words revealing hatred.
"Since Brother Xie understands it so well, it shouldn't be a problem for us to get by. Ye Cheng said with a smile.
"I just have a rough idea, Hong Youtian is extremely cunning and vicious, so it will be very troublesome if he keeps his back. Xie Nu said.
"It's better to go back, the family is still waiting, it's not a big deal, is it?"
"If you come here, you will be safe, you have already offended this Jade Dragon Village, so you will suffer even more in the future when you go back, are you willing to live such a day?" Ye Cheng turned around and said.
"Let's mine more jade, we can always beg for food, if we are like this today, I am afraid that our lives will be lost here." Someone in the farmer said.
Ye Cheng sighed, but after thinking about it, the farmers were honest people from generation to generation, and they didn't know martial arts, so they were naturally timid and afraid of things, and they couldn't complain about them. So he said, "In this case, those who want to go back can go back on their own, and the rest of us will continue to move forward." ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw the farmers muttering a few words to each other, and left one after another, leaving only Qi Dahai standing there.
"Brother Qi, it's very dangerous to go further, your friends are not unreasonable, you don't have to hold on, just go back. Ye Chengdao.
"Ye Shaoxia, what do you think of my surname Qi? Although my martial arts skills are not high, I will not be cowardly to the point of pushing my own affairs to others to risk helping. Besides, I've had enough of this bird's anger, and I'm going to get justice today. Qi Dahai said loudly.
Ye Cheng saw that Qi Dahai was determined, so he didn't say anything, and the three of them escorted Li Fu and his wife and Leader Zheng and continued to move forward. After walking a short time, we came to a small road. There are bamboo forests on both sides of the path,
Xie Nu motioned for everyone to stop and dragged Leader Zheng over. Leader Zheng has been in the cottage for many years, and of course he knows Xie Nu's intentions, so he can't help but scream in shock, like killing a pig.
Ye Cheng and Qi Dahai didn't know what to do, but they saw Xie Nu stumbling with his foot, throwing Leader Zheng to the ground, and pushing hard at the path in front of him.
Suddenly, I saw a click in the forest, everyone saw it clearly, and a hard crossbow flew out of the forest on both sides of the road, grazing the top of Leader Zheng's head and whistling, Leader Zheng rolled all the way, but when he saw the locusts like rain, he was so frightened that he urinated in his pants.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh after seeing it: "It's really dangerous, if it weren't for Brother Xie here, how would I be here?"
Xie Nu sneered: "Hong Youtian, this kid claims to have designed a mechanism called "Three Sees Hades", this is the first time I saw it, and there is still a good show in the future. ”
Ye Cheng and the others followed Xie Nu through the forest path, Xie Nu picked up the Zheng leader who was already dead-faced, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily." ”
Ye Cheng looked funny from the sidelines, thinking that this is probably called a bad guy and a bad guy needs to grind. Leader Zheng may not be able to run rampant in the future.
As everyone continued to move forward, they heard the sound of a trickle, and when they walked in, a small river was in front of them, but fortunately, the water was not turbulent. Seeing this, Qi Dahai was about to pull Li Fu and his wife into the water and flow through the river.
Xie Nu stopped him and said: "No, do you know that among the pebbles in this river, Hong Youtian has placed sharp short thorns, these short thorns are quenched by poisonous water, although they are washed by the river, they are still unchanged, as long as they pierce the skin, their lives will not be guaranteed." ”
Qi Dahai said when he heard this: "Good girl, so powerful, fortunately you reminded me, otherwise my old Qi life would be gone." ”
said that Qi Dahai was about to go to the suspension bridge, but Xie Nu stopped him again: "You reckless man, you are so serious, and I haven't said anything, how can you dare to go on the suspension bridge?"
"This drawbridge also has traps?" Qi Dahai asked in surprise.
Ye Cheng said with a smile on the side: "But whoever comes here, there must be a majority of people who choose the suspension bridge to cross the river, how can there be a mechanism in the river, but there is no reason for the suspension bridge?"
Qi Dahai patted his head and said yes again and again. Li Fu couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "This young man is good, don't let this bald man hold us, with his stupidity, we will have to die in his hands sooner or later." ”
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, turned to Xie Nu and said, "Brother Xie, where is this suspension bridge mechanism?"
Xie Nu snorted, and was about to pull Leader Zheng to the bridge again, Leader Zheng's pants that had just peed were not dry yet, and when he heard that he was going to use himself as bait again, he was in a hurry and urinated again.
"I said Xie Nu, Xie Daxia, can't you try someone else?Isn't that kid Li Fu there, why is it me every time?"
Xie Nu wanted to scare him, but he immediately ignored him, picked a large stone from the ground, aimed at the center of the drawbridge and threw it.
But when I saw the stones rolling on the bridge and the wooden planks creaking, there was nothing unusual. Qi Dahai said with a smile: "It seems that this suspension bridge is a trick made by the kid surnamed Hong." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that when the stone rolled to about the middle of the eleventh and twelfth planks, there was a sudden "collapse", and the two planks suddenly flipped over!
Ye Cheng saw it really well on the side, and couldn't help sighing: "This person who set up the organ is really thoughtful and quite vicious. ”
"Do you see that?" asked Xenu.
He deliberately set the drawbridge mechanism on top of the middle planks, because if the planks were flipped at the beginning, there might be only one person on the bridge, and if there were people behind, they would not be able to hit. Now set up like this, the planks fall in the middle and along with the front ones, and basically everyone who comes has already gone to the bridge, just in one net. Ye Cheng analyzed.
Xie Nu nodded and stopped talking.
