Chapter 22: The Immortal...

It was already all quiet, and it was the crescent moon, which was hidden in the night sky, and the stars in the sky could clearly smash into people's eyes. A young man squatted in the courtyard.

This man had just washed his head, and his half-gān hair was slightly scattered behind him with water vapor, blocking half of his face. At the age of a weak crown, he looked very handsome. He was a little thin, but he wasn't that frail, he looked thin and tall, but he looked like a young man who had just jumped up and couldn't keep up with his bones.

He rolled up his sleeves, showing a small half of his arm, with a brazier and a dozen paper money in front of him. He looked like he was guarding someone's spirit, but the young man was holding a large bowl in his hand. This man only had two hands. While pulling noodles into his mouth, he filled paper money into the brazier. He didn't know how to do it, but he did both, his cheeks were bulging, and the brazier was burning vigorously.

He squatted there for a long time, the bowl of noodles was about to bottom out, and the chopsticks even hit a poached egg hidden at the bottom of the bowl.

At this moment, the door of a room in the small courtyard opened with a creak, and a square-faced man with a big waist and a round face walked out from the inside wearing clothes. It was probably night and he was still confused, so he yawned. , and found such a living creature squatting in the courtyard, and was sobered by shock.

"Shi...Shi Xiaohou, what are you talking about?"

The man in the courtyard was Shi Wuyuan, who had been silent since he escaped from Jiulu Mountain. He heard the words and turned his head slowly, his handsome face was terrifyingly reflected by the pot of burning paper money. Yes, with half a poached egg still in his mouth, he said vaguely and slowly, "burn paper."

The big man stepped forward, touched his forehead, and judged, "I don't have a fever..."

Shi Wuduan continued to bite the poached egg without changing his face. The noodle bowl was fragrant, and the big man made a suspicious movement in his stomach. He sniffed, noticed the thick porcelain sea bowl in Shi Wuduan's hand, and cursed: "Little bastard, in the middle of the night. Oh, why are you stealing it again? Laozi's, and poached eggs."

"I didn't steal it." Shi Wuyuan, as if to prevent him from robbing him, swallowed the rest of the eggs in one bite, picked up the bowl and smashed it, and ate it cleanly. Then he wiped his mouth and puffed out his cheeks. He explained slowly, "This is what Siniang specially made for me."

The big man said, "Fuck, why did she make it for you, I'm hungry too!"

Shi Wuyuan grabbed a handful of paper money and put it into the brazier, and said boldly, "I'm handsome."

The big man grabbed his hair and rubbed it hard, and commented on his appearance: "Little white face."

Shi Wuyuan reached out his hand and pressed down his messed up hair without worrying or panicking, looked up at him, and commented, "Big Bear."

"gān!" The big man widened his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Put it on the stove by yourself."

The big man rubbed his stomach, just turned around, turned around, and asked, "Are there any more eggs?"

"No, I'll eat." Shi Wuyuan glanced at him, squatted on the ground and didn't get up, but stretched his arms, handed him the bowl, and the envoy said, "Give me another bowl and more soup. "

The big man slapped him on the back of the head, took the bowl cursingly, and left.

So after a while, two people squatted side by side in the courtyard, surrounded by a pile of paper money and a brazier, and snorted and ate noodles. Do you hear?"

Shi Wudu nodded.

While eating, the big man felt desolate at the same time. He glanced at Shi Wuyuan rather angrily, and muttered, "Why does she keep thinking about you?"

"I ate it." Shi Wuyuan explained, "If you eat it, you will grow meat, and we don't sell pork."

"You don't look ashamed, how old are you and how tall are you?"

"Twenty-three is still jumping." Shi Wuyuan waved his hand and said, "You don't understand, eat your noodles, and wash the dishes after eating."

The big man raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to seek justice, but Shi Wuyuan calmly blocked his words: "Eating people is soft-mouthed."

So the big man was really soft, and he drank a big mouthful of soup angrily.

The two fell silent, Shi Wuyuan put the empty bowl aside and looked at the brazier, the flames were clearly extinguished in his eyes, making his pupils extraordinarily deep.

The big man watched him for a while, poked his shoulder with his elbow, and asked, "Are you paying homage to your ancestors?"

"New mourning." Shi Wuyuan said, "Send off a senior."

The big man was shocked and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Which old senior has an accident? Why don't I know?"

"Oh." Shi Wuyuan said, "You don't know, it's an old friend of mine far away in the middle of Shu."

"Then how did you know?"

Shi Wuyuan said nothing, stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky.

"It's a star again." The big man pouted and continued to bury his head in the bowl of soup. "I said little monkey, you are so young and you are so arrogant, be careful that you won't be able to get a wife in the future."

"Yesterday, Lu'er from Brother Lu's house said she wanted to marry me."

"Fuck you, Lu'er is only three and a half years old - how can Xingxing know life and death? Can you figure out when I will die?"

Shi Wuyuan ignored him and was silent for a moment before saying: "He made the star fall tonight, but it actually has something to do with me. I have no long things in my body, only these ghost things, it's nothing, it's just a little thought. Burn it. All night, I asked him to pick it up, and take care of the little ghosts on Huángquan Road."

Hearing his calm voice, the big man was inexplicably a little sad, and couldn't help but say: "What are you talking about, why is the dead person in the middle of Shu far away has something to do with you, and you have a far-reaching relationship. "

Shi Wuduan's mouth curved, and the dimple on his left cheek was fleeting. He didn't explain much. He just tore the paper money into various shapes with his bare hands - pen, ink, paper, inkstone, carriage, horse, cattle and sheep, cranes, rabbits, chess, calligraphy and painting. Everything is ready, he is skillful, and he is vivid when he arrives at his fingertips, and said in his mouth: "Senior, you gave me the last bit of your family, and you will be lonely down there. I will get you some gadgets. Don't dislike it."

The big man felt strange when he heard it, and he sighed, and changed the subject abruptly, saying, "Little monkey, you said that we have brought our gang of brothers and come all the way to take refuge in this man named Cui. What's the point of setting aside such a small broken yard for a few of us? I think it's better to turn against his grandma earlier, beat him up, and occupy his treasured feng shui land, wouldn't it be nice?"

Shi Wuyuan glanced at him and asked, "Why didn't you tell your elder brother this?"

This "eldest brother" is named Gu Huaiyang. He was originally from Huainan, born with Confucius and martial arts, and he has read books for a few years, but he likes all kinds of miscellaneous studies, and he is not impatient with the way of the imperial examination. But who would have known that there was a famine in Huainan a few years ago, no grains were collected, and the relief funds went away. However, for fear of disturbance by the refugees, many local officials ordered the gates to be closed, refused to accept them, and even opened their bows and arrows.

Gu Huaiyang's family died and fell ill, and only he and an old lady were left in the panic. After all, the old lady was old. Although she was carried by her son to avoid the bow and arrow, she was so frightened that she would die soon.

At this point, Gu Huaiyang is only a bachelor. He is clear-headed, articulate, and loyal. He has won over many people on the way to exile, and even has some affection with some rangers and swordsmen in the rivers and lakes. In a fit of anger, he united with these people. , make the opposite.

It's also that these years have gone downhill. The guards in the city will only bully the common people. Gu Huaiyang's trouble is unexpectedly full of responses. For some reason in the chaos, if he is not careful, he also beats the city's prefect to death. Not doing so, he led people into the yamen and became the emperor of the earth.

Emperor Tiangao is far away, and the court is unclear. Therefore, it is only assumed that Huainan had an uprising, the treasury was empty, and he could not fight for a long time. I don't know how the court was all together. In order to appease Gu Huaiyang, he was given a "loyal and brave marquis". Noble title, ordered him to guard this place.

Gu Huaiyang is not stupid, knowing that this is the emperor using him as a target, he refused to accept the order with a flick of his sleeve, and also united with the bandits from the surrounding hills, quite a bit of meaning to occupy the mountain as the king.

At this time, the entire continent was already in chaos, and there were people everywhere. Although there was not much movement, these people were like a group of fleas attached to Dagan's high-sounding robe. They pressed the gourd and floated the scoop, which was really annoying.

The emperor decided to kill the monkeys. Gu Huaiyang was stepping on the muzzle of the gun when he resisted the decree. The emperor gave an order, and the bandits would come soon. Gu Huaiyang saw that the situation was bad, he had no money and no weapons, only a group of people with kitchen knives and shovels The poor buddy of his family fled to Anqing with his team, and went to Cui Hu, who proclaimed himself the "King of Anqing" here.

It is also fate. That year, Shi Wuyuan swam out of the cold spring in Jiulu Mountain, and his whole body was almost frozen inside. It was really cold inside and out. After a few miles, his lips were frozen purple, so he fainted on the side of the road, and happened to ask Gu Huaiyang, who was leading the relationship with the Dashan bandits, to pick it up.

The Cuiping bird circling near Jiulu Mountain immediately chased after its owner. The fairy sparrow suddenly appeared in front of everyone, startling a group of bandits and hooligans. Gu Huaiyang felt that Shi Wuyuan must be a man of great fortune, so he adopted him down. After he woke up, the two of them were talking, but they were quite speculative, and Shi Wuyuan was inexplicably pulled on the bright road of rebellion.

A year after that, one day, a crane brought him a package. Shi Wuji opened it. Inside was a 50-stringed serpent and several old scrolls. As soon as he opened it, he knew the depth of the scroll. If you really want to study thoroughly, it is a great university question that you can take part in. There is also a note in the middle, with the words "good for yourself", and the signature is Jiang Hua.

Why should Jiang Hua help him?

Shi Wucai thought about it for a long time, and felt that Jiang Hua was afraid of contaminating the cause and effect, so he let him go against his will, and then remembered that his old friend asked him on the deathbed, and he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience.

Before the master spent his own money, he thought that he had replaced it with Senior Jiang Hua, and what he said would no longer be eligible for the test. Jiang Hua Xiuxian, this time he was given a book, I don't know how much the world's karma has been indirectly contaminated, I am afraid that a hundred years of hard work outside the world will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Immortals are not allowed to join the WTO, and if they join the WTO, their lifespans will be exhausted - as expected, it has only been four years now.

Shi Wuyuan grabbed another handful of paper money and slowly put it into the brazier.

The big man - one of Gu Huaiyang's sworn brothers, named Meng Zhongyong - scratched his hair and said, "I said it, but I was scolded by the elder brother, and he asked me to ask you."
