There is only one street in front of you, with many residences stretching out on both sides. The street looks quite prosperous, with restaurants, restaurants, carriage shops, and everything you need. There is also a simple train station not far away.
Fei Jingting first went to the train station to inquire. The guy with the lantern said that the train from Beijing to Fengtian runs once a day and passes through this station approximately every afternoon. Do you want to ask for the specific time? Qiang Qiang.
It is written on it, but it is never accurate.
Furthermore, there was a heavy snowfall the day before yesterday. From Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, the entire railway line was buried in the snow. If it is not cleared, the train may slide off the track. So strictly speaking, the train is cut off at this time.
, the specific opening time was not announced.
The Beijing-Fenghuang Railway was built by the Manchus and is now owned by the Beiyang government. With the poor conditions of Beiyang, it is uncertain when it will be opened to traffic. Fei Jingting thought that no matter how he traveled, he had to find a place to stay first.
He took Zhang Leyao to the carriage and horse shop first. When he asked about the place, the shopkeeper apologized repeatedly: "Oh, you two gentlemen, what a coincidence. The railway was blocked, and many merchants were stranded. The shop
It’s already full, and there really aren’t any rooms. How about you two go to the residents’ homes at the back and inquire?”
After coming out of the carriage shop, Fei Jingting looked at the facade with the slogan 'Goubangzi Smoked Chicken', stopped and asked: "Are you full just now? Do you want some more?"
Zhang Leyao shook his head: "I just ate and I'm not hungry yet."
Fei Jingting thought for a while, went into a smoked chicken shop, bought one, and threw it into the space for storage. Then he came out and joined Zhang Leyao to search for it in the alley of the back street.
After asking around a few houses, Fei Jingting asked about his experience. As long as there were cars and horses parked outside the yard, there were basically businessmen and travelers staying there, so there was no need to ask anymore. After walking for a long time, Fei Jingting found a clean house.
Just as Ting was about to call the door, a child's head popped up from the wall next door.
The child sniffed and said, "Huh? You don't want to die, how dare you knock on his door?"
Fei Jingting stopped his hand in mid-air and turned to look at the child wearing a tiger hat: "Hmm? What happened to their family?"
At this moment, shouts came from the yard next door, and a woman pulled the child off the wall, and then apologized: "Children are talking nonsense, don't pay attention."
He turned around and gave the child two slaps: "You're talking nonsense! What if someone hears it and steals your soul?"
"Stop fighting, I won't say anything anymore."
The sound faded away, Fei Jingting and Zhang Leyao looked at each other, their hands that had been paused in mid-air fell, and the door opened.
After a while, a man in his forties came out of the room. This man was of medium build, with an ordinary face, but a very strong build. Wearing a sheepskin jacket, he opened half the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"
Fei Jingting said: "I'm a traveler. If you miss the place, can I ask if you can stay overnight? We'll give you money."
The man looked at Fei Jingting and Zhang Leyao, and said with an unkind expression, "You can stay overnight. You can burn the kang yourself. There is firewood in the yard. In addition, I will eat two meals, and you can find a place to eat by yourself."
"Okay, just have a place to sleep."
The man yawned and said, "If you're too lazy to go out, just open the door and come in."
Fei Jingting opened the broken wooden door and the two entered the yard. Fei Jingting turned around and found that the door bolt could not be inserted back in any way. He simply threw it aside and found a branch from the pile of firewood.
On both sides of the door, they serve as door bolts.
Entering the house, Fei Jingting discovered that there was only one man in the house, and he could smell the strong smell of alcohol when he entered the house. There was a kang table on the east kang, with a plate of peanuts, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a wine jug on it.
After being scalded in a basin of hot water, the man was sitting cross-legged at the Kang table, sipping wine and sipping food, not paying attention to Fei Jingting and Zhang Leyao who entered the room.
The man said: "The west room is empty. There is a Kang mat. You can figure out how to make it yourself."
"good."
Fei Jingting thought for a moment and threw an ocean over, but the man didn't care at all and just drank and ate by himself.
The two entered the west room. This room was even shabbier than the one on the east side. The earthen kang was narrow, but there were kang mats. In addition, there was the Eight Immortals table opposite the kang, on which steamed buns, pig head meat, and incense were lit.
There are several names written on the yellow paper.
Zhang Leyao glanced at it and whispered: "Baojiaxian?"
"It should be...this person may be a disciple."
Fei Jingting took out the sleeping bag from the space and handed it to Zhang Leyao to put it in. He also found an emergency light.
The emergency lights come on, instantly brightening up the house.
The two discussed it, and Fei Jingting felt that instead of waiting here for the train that didn't know when it would open, he might as well find out where he could hire a carriage and horse-drawn sledge tomorrow. This place was not far from Fengtian, and he would think of a solution when he got to Fengtian.
Find the line tools.
It was getting late at this time, and the time on the watch showed that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The two of them made a good plan and got into their sleeping bags.
The earthen kang was so narrow that even if Fei Jingting pressed against the wall, the two of them were still squeezed together with their sleeping bags separated.
Fei Jingting was full of worries about Fu Yunzhao, but he didn't think about it randomly. He just couldn't sleep for a while, so he silently used the Celestial Eye Technique and gathered the three lights to practice. Gu
Fei Jingting, who had been practicing for a long time, suddenly felt as if something was approaching. He stood up and looked up and saw a shadow reflected on the window.
The shadow opened its mouth and smiled strangely: "Little Taoist Priest, little Fairy Girl, have you slept? You will be refreshed when you sleep, let's chat together?"
It turned out to be the yellow-skinned one I met just now on the roadside.
Fei Jingting was happy and said, "Okay, what are you going to talk about?"
"Quack, the little Taoist priest is really easy to talk to, much better than Niubi named Song. Ahem, my name is Huang Shiqi, and I have been practicing at Yaoying Ridge for more than two hundred years. No, I feel that my practice is complete, so I go down the mountain
Come to ask for silence. By chance, I bumped into you two first.
Let’s talk about this, how about you seal me? As long as you seal me, I promise to keep you safe.”
Fei Jingting had heard of the legend about Huang Pizi asking for silence a long time ago. It was said that Huang Pizi would come down the mountain after he became successful in spiritual practice. The first person he met would open his mouth and ask, "Do you think I look like a human or a god?"
'.
If you answer like a human being, then it’s over. Huang Pizi’s cultivation has been ruined, but from now on he can walk upright like a human being. Then he will be entangled with you endlessly and make your house restless.
If you answer like a god, Huang Pizi will be considered an immortal. But the person being asked will still not have an easy time.
The Huangpizi in front of me obviously didn't cultivate to that level. He opened his mouth and asked if he looked human. He also boasted that he had practiced cultivation for more than two hundred years... With more than two hundred years of cultivation, how could he ask this question?
Although Fei Jingting was not familiar with demon cultivators, he had heard from his master that the animal had become a spirit and could speak, at least with a hundred years of Taoism.
Forget it, Huang Shiqi has only more than a hundred years of cultivation.
Fei Jingting was happy and was about to answer, but Zhang Leyao stopped him and said directly: "You yellow-skinned man, don't push yourself too far. Do you really think that my talisman from Longhu Mountain can't subjugate you, a monster outside the pass?"
"Little Fairy Girl, I just asked for a seal, I didn't think about anything else..."
"For asking for silence and taking away the opportunity and luck of the person who sealed you, do you think we are just those miscellaneous wild Taoist priests?"
After a pause, Zhang Leyao said again: "Since you want to keep your mouth shut, then listen carefully: practice hard, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and one day you will be successful and rise to the rank of Ziwei."
Huang Pizi outside the window was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled strangely and said: "Little fairy, don't send me away with such ambiguous words. Hurry up and seal my mouth quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Fei Jingting was very happy, how could a yellow man be rude to him? Shaking his hands, a flying knife appeared in his palm. Just as he was about to throw it, he heard the man in the east room shout: "Which old immortal is so late at night?"
Visiting?"
Huang Pizi shouted: "It's your Grandpa Huang Qiqi!"
The voice in the room to the east suddenly changed and suddenly became neither male nor female: "Huang Shiqi? You little bastard, you dare to call me grandpa in front of my aunt? It's really annoying!"
"Who? Wait, this voice sounds familiar... Hu Laojiu?"
"Get out of here, I'll break your bastard's legs again!"
Huang Pizi outside was silent for a while, and said respectfully: "Hu Laojiu, it's not that I'm unreasonable. I went down the mountain today to ask for silence, and happened to meet two people in the house. You also know the rules of the Huang family. If I can't ask for silence,
Feng, you will never become an immortal in your life. So, I’m sorry. How about just thinking that I owe you a favor?”
"My aunt doesn't care about your favor. If you don't care about life and death, just keep asking for it!"
The voice suddenly changed and became the same man as before: "Two guests, this matter has nothing to do with me. But if you go out and fight, don't tear down my house."
Demolish the house? If a little yellow-skinned man could force Fei Jingting to demolish the house, that would be a joke.
Huang Qiqi continued to make noises outside: "Little Taoist Priest, Little Fairy Girl, it's just a matter of casual remarks. Afterwards, hello to you, hello to me, hello to everyone, it's better to be more relaxed."
Fei Jingting smiled and said: "You yellow-skinned guy really doesn't know how to live or die." As he spoke, he made a magic trick with his hand and pointed his sword finger at the shadow on the window, and a starlight flew out.
"town!"
Huang Shiqi said "Hey" and fell from the window sill.
Feeling clean now, Fei Jingting yawned: "Go to sleep, we have to go on a journey tomorrow."
"Niubi, please leave grandpa alone, grandpa will never be done with you!"
Fei Jingting frowned. The yellow man was restrained, but he couldn't help opening his mouth and making noises. Just as he was about to go out and gag him, he saw Zhang Leyao casually punching out a yellow talisman. The yellow talisman was pasted on the window lattice and pointed out.
After a while, he muttered some words and became quiet for a moment.
Fei Jingting laughed after feeling it for a while. This technique did not block Huang Qi's mouth. Instead, it isolated the room from the outside world. No outside sound could come in, so it was considered clean.
