Chapter 91: Tanabata Cowherd
After the little fat man returned to Lianyun City, he returned the horse to the silk shop and found Ding Hao on the street. Fortunately, no one checked the post today, and nothing unusual happened to Ding Hao alone. The little fat man told him about going to Vulture Mountain and Zhao Xiaoyun to raise the three brothers Liu Tian. Ding Hao also agrees with the little fat man's moves, after all, he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who doesn't know how to raise his children. When it was time to make a difference, Ding Hao had to pull the little fat man and go to the New Dragon Gate Inn to call the master, and then go to his house for dinner.
After the little fat man and Liuyun Dao arrived at Ding Hao's house, Ding Hao's parents were very enthusiastic about them, selling wine and buying vegetables, and warmly entertaining them. The little fat man and Liuyun Dao Chang were also a little embarrassed in the face of Ding Hao's family's hospitality, and said again and again that they didn't need to prepare so much, just a few dishes and a mouthful of food. Ding Hao's family only has his parents and him, although the family is not a rich family, but food and clothing are always no problem. These people sat together, chatting together. Later, the little fat man was too drunk and felt a little dizzy, so he got up and said goodbye. When the chief of Liuyun Dao saw that the little fat man was leaving, he also had to leave. Ding Hao's parents and Ding Hao's marriage details wanted to talk to Liuyun Dao Chang, so they tried their best to keep him for a while. Ding Hao saw that the little fat man's face was ruddy and his steps were slightly unsteady because of drinking, so he offered to send him home. The little fat man didn't even say no, hummed a little song alone, and walked towards the post station.
After the little fat man came out of Ding Hao's house, he walked all the way to the post station, and now it is the time of day, there are still many people on the street, and most of them are young men and women, in the shade of the tree, or by the river, there is no taboo against others, hugging and kissing me. The little fat man felt strange, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized. It turns out that today is Tianhua's annual Tanabata Festival. Legend has it that there was a fairy who fell in love with a mortal. Later, her mother, the Queen Mother, found out that the woman was not married to the right household, so she brought her daughter back to heaven. This fairy's name is Weaver Girl, and the mortal she likes is an orphan called the Cowherd. Although the Cowherd is a mortal, he has raised a prisoner cow. In order to fulfill the master, the imprisoned cow told the cowherd that after killing it, he would use its cowhide to make a blanket, and he could fly into the sky to find the queen mother's theory. In order to be with the woman he loved, the cowherd killed the cow and made a blanket out of its skin. Sure enough, after the blanket was made, the cowherd sat on it and flew to the sky. The Queen Mother was also a little ashamed in the face of this son-in-law, so she allowed to meet the Weaver Girl on the seventh day of the seventh month of July every year. When they met, on the Milky Way, there were countless magpies reaching the Magpie Bridge, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met on this Magpie Bridge.
The little fat man is very lonely alone, and he is very irritable when he sees others showing intimacy in pairs. At this time, he felt like a hungry man, salivating at the table full of delicacies. However, these are all other people's, and he can't see it. I am afraid that only the parties concerned can deeply understand this inner torment. The little fat man was in a bad mood for a while, so he did not go back to the post station, but found a stone by the river and sat down away from people's sight. At this time, a slight drizzle suddenly fell in the sky. The rain was not heavy, and when it fell on the face, there was only a coolness. The little fat man let the drizzle rain, staring at the night sky in a daze.
The words of "Fortune Operator" say: The magpie flies on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the dark moon gathers together. But seeing the cowherd coming slowly, the weaver girl danced. Crying silently, thousands of flowers bloom at night. Tears are sprinkled with smoke and clouds, but they are like meteor showers.
The little fat man looked at the night sky with envy, thinking about the beautiful legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Thinking about himself, the little fat man couldn't help but point to the night sky and curse loudly: "May there be lovers/people in the world, all of whom are brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a meteor flying in the sky, and it seemed to be rushing this way. The little fat man hesitated, could it be that what he had just said angered the heavens and punished him very low? Before the little fat man decided to avoid it or wait and see, the "meteor" had already arrived in front of him. Only then did the little fat man see that it was not a meteor. It's a middle-aged man with a sword stuck upside down in his back. The man had his feet on a flying blanket and stared coldly at the little fat man.
In the stunned eyes of the little fat man, the man slowly landed, stepped on the flying carpet, stretched out his hand, and the flying carpet shrank into a ball and flew into his hand. The man got the flying carpet and tucked it behind him.
The little fat man looked at this uninvited guest, a little dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say for a while. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
After a while, the man spat out a sentence: "You try to repeat what you just said!" The tone was a little cold, as if he would start fighting if he didn't agree with each other.
The little fat man looked at the man's gloomy face, and was also a little afraid in his heart, and said secretly: The sentence he shouted just now was so far away, he shouldn't be able to hear it, right? So, the little fat man deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "What are you talking about? I have been watching the sky just now, and I haven't said anything!"
The man saw that the little fat man was pretending to be stupid, and said angrily: "If I don't give you some power today, you don't know my Cowherd's methods!"
"Cowherd!" the little fat man was shocked when he heard this man blow himself up. I don't believe that the man in front of me is the legendary Cowherd. Because, the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been around for hundreds of years. If this person is a cowherd, then he is not an old goblin who has been cultivating for hundreds of years.
"Look at the sword!" the ** shouted, raised the sword and slashed at the little fat man.
The little fat man was originally nervous, facing a legendary character, and he was also a famous figure for hundreds of years, and almost the entire Tianhua women, children, and children knew each other, the little fat man had no chance of winning at all. However, seeing him stabbing with a sword, the little fat man's tense chrysanthemum suddenly relaxed, and he almost didn't make a sound. It turned out that although the man's sword was fierce, the little fat man saw that in his swordsmanship, there were square patterns. In other words, this "Cowherd" only has the cultivation of the Four Elephant Period. Since the little fat man duel with the Fusang devil, his cultivation has broken through to the Four Elephants Stage. The little fat man's four-elephant period, coupled with his hand speed, naturally will not take this fake cowherd in his eyes.
In fact, this "Cowherd" is the Cowherd in the cross, yes. At the beginning, the Cowherd was an ordinary man, because of the reason for sleeping with the Weaver Girl, he got some fairy energy, so that he could prolong his life. He was originally a herding cow, and he didn't know any methods of cultivating immortals. Although he lived for hundreds of years, he was drinking heavily except when he met the Weaver Girl on the seventh day of the seventh month. He had also received guidance from some immortal cultivators, but his talent was too poor. It took hundreds of years to cultivate a four-elephant period cultivation, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth. No wonder the Queen Mother commented on him at a peach conference a few years ago: "I have lived all my years to a dog!"
The little fat man was not in a hurry, pulled out the treasure knife, and slashed it away with his backhand. When the little fat man was in the third talent period, he dared to go head-to-head with the masters of the Five Elements period. Now that the little fat man is in the four-elephant period, and the opponent is only in the four-elephant period, the little fat man is naturally not afraid of him.
Although the cowherd's cultivation is not good, his eyes are quite vicious, he saw that the weapon in the hand of the little fat man was extraordinary, so he was afraid of hurting his sword, so he didn't dare to touch it, so he hurriedly returned his hand and withdrew the sword. The little fat man saw that the cowherd was timid, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, took a big step forward, shouted loudly in his mouth, and slashed at the cowherd head-on.
If this knife is cut, the cowherd will have to be split in half. In fact, the little fat man was not ready to kill him, he just deliberately released some atmosphere to scare and scare him. Who told him to look like he was on top as soon as he appeared. The little fat man hates others to look down on him the most in his life, and this cowherd just happened to commit the taboo of the fat uncle, and the fat man naturally couldn't sit down and talk to him with a pleasant face.
When the cowherd saw the little fat man menacing, he didn't dare to fight hard, shook his sword, jumped to the side, and just dodged the little fat man's knife. When the little fat man saw the Cowherd jumping long, he only hated that his legs were not very dexterous. Otherwise, he would have chased over and exploded his chrysanthemum, wouldn't he be arrogant?
The cowherd also saw that this little fat man was not easy to mess with, and if he continued to fight like this, he might be planted in the hands of this little fat man. At that time, the world knew that he had lived for hundreds of years, and he couldn't even beat a teenage hairy child, and I was afraid that there was no place for my old face. Thinking of this, the cowherd's evil is born from the guts. I saw him reach out and take out the blanket from behind his back, and throw it into the air, and the blanket floated in the air and became a flying carpet. Look at the cowherd again, gently lean in, and jump on the flying carpet. After jumping on the flying carpet, he drove the flying carpet into the air, and confronted the little fat man from a distance of more than a foot high.
The little fat man was taken aback when he saw the cowherd flying. Now people are in the air, facing the little fat man as a pilot, and the advantages are self-evident. The little fat man secretly complained in his heart, hating why he didn't hit him down when he didn't go to the ground just now.
At a distance of more than one zhang, no matter how strong the little fat man's knife is, he can't attack. It is precisely because of this that the Cowherd stays at this height. He glared coldly at the little fat man, and reached out and slashed off a tree trunk next to him with a sword. After the trunk was broken, the Cowherd reached out to catch it, and then threw the trunk in his hand at the little fat man.
The little fat man saw a large lump of tree trunks smashing towards him, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly dodged, only to hear a click, and the tree trunk slammed into the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the little fat man remembered his flying knife, reached out and touched his waist, and his face turned white. I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to bring a flying knife. Now the little fat man didn't bring the only weapon that could attack the cowherd, and the only thing left was to flee in the wilderness.
There was another tree sound, and it turned out that the cowherd had cut down another tree trunk, ready to attack the little fat man.
