Chapter 51: Exorcising Demons Here in the First Month of the Second Year of Mingde
Chapter 51 The demon was eliminated here in the first month of the second year of Mingde
Less than half a mile ahead, there is a path on the left that leads to the river.
That was the original Lingbo Ferry.
The ferry is not big, there are only steps for people to go up and down. The road is also very narrow. It has been abandoned for a long time. It is overgrown with weeds and branches block the road. You have to cover your face when walking through it.
The shepherd boy rode the cow all the way down.
I didn't meet the gentleman on the way back.
The shepherd boy hoped in his heart that he had gone too far before turning back. The gentleman had already washed his hands and returned to the main road before he entered the small road. He had already gone to Anqing County. But he must not stay by the river or
What accident had happened? Although the conversation lasted only a moment, he was still touched by the gentleness and appreciation of the gentleman.
Gradually we reached the river bank and heard the splash of water.
The shepherd boy pushed aside the last layer of branches and weeds, and when he looked intently at the river, he couldn't help but be surprised——
I saw a man wearing a Taoist robe, fluttering in the river. He seemed to have accidentally fallen into the water, and he couldn't swim. He was choking on the water and couldn't scream.
I can't see clearly from a distance, but who else could it be if it wasn't that gentleman?
"Pah, pah, pah..."
"Why are you here?"
It looks like it's actually bigger than Song You's.
The movement lasted for a while before stopping.
"When the water monster surfaces and is discovered, either someone will be brave enough to fish it up, or it will be stranded downstream. Find a time when no one is around, stick the talisman on it, the talisman will light up, and wait for it
When the light stops shining, take it off, boil some boiled water and drink it. Although it won't prolong your life or make you wiser, it will keep you healthy throughout your life and free from illness and disaster."
"Beef~"
"Sir, are you afraid of bandits on the road ahead and are waiting for us here specially?"
It seems that calling is useless...
Lighting a fire is like burning a fire, there is something interesting about it.
The shepherd boy still took it blankly.
He had heard stories about water monsters turning into humans and coming ashore. He was afraid that the monster would come ashore and be discovered by it, so he had to hide in the forest and watch the water gradually return to calm, just like before.
For some unknown reason, the river surface in the distance emitted a red light like fire, and then the water surface seemed to be boiled, bubbling, and then bursts of huge water splashes, with huge figures struggling and rolling in the water splashes.
It forms waves, swells up the river bank, and beats the vegetation.
Song You couldn't help but smile.
The woman has lit the fire and is holding it up carefully.
At this time, there was a sudden movement on the river.
"Be careful with your steps."
"Didn't you just..."
"It's about time we make food. Can we build a meal together? It will save us the time of building a stove, burying a pot, and looking for firewood."
"I'll tell you the truth." Song You's voice was still calm and calm, "I have quite a lot of experience in doing this."
But seeing that this gentleman still looked gentle and calm, it seemed like he had fallen into the water.
He picked up a piece and gave it to the raccoon slave to eat.
"Making food?"
At this time, there was nothing on the river.
"Nearly two kilograms, not as much as you."
"I also weigh two pounds, the same amount."
"See you again."
"I was delayed on the way."
I usually heard adults say that there is a monster that eats people in the water, but I didn't expect that the monster was so big and scary. What's even more terrifying is that he just witnessed the monster eating people with his own eyes, and just before he was talking to him
The gentle gentleman who spoke had been swallowed up by the monster.
"Sir! Underwater!"
"Hmm..."
The man and the horse gradually disappeared deep into the vegetation.
"This is beef."
And her companionship was not in vain.
I want to shout for help, but this place is far away from the main road and no one has been here for a long time. Where can anyone hear me?
Just then, a dark shadow appeared under the water.
The sun also dazzled my eyes a bit.
The woman asked: "How many pounds did you cut off?"
"!"
Song You took out another piece of talisman paper from his arms.
The shepherd boy stared at him and pointed at Jiang Xin.
Song You also bowed his hand in return.
Song You looked at her, and she looked at Song You.
The calico cat said, stretching its neck to take it.
It is true that there is a regulation in Dayan that "privately slaughtering cattle is prohibited" and it is now being implemented. However, the implementation of the decree may not be in place. It varies according to local conditions. In some places, it is not allowed to eat beef.
Even the emperor cannot do such a thing by letting others live. Secondly, the scope of this decree itself is actually limited. "Privately", "slaughtering" and "cultivating cattle" are already three parallel conditions, and they are not so easy to violate.
Using the law "prohibiting private slaughter of farm cattle" to explain that eating beef is illegal, it does not hold true if you cannot eat beef.
The shepherd boy was startled, turned around suddenly, lost his seat and almost fell off the back of the cow.
"puff!!"
I saw a person standing behind me, with a handsome face, a gentle expression, and a clean old Taoist robe. Behind him was a bay-red horse, lowering its head and grazing quietly. At its feet was a calico cat, sitting upright, tilting its head and staring at him.
, seems to be asking questions too.
Sparks flew out and fell into the tinder.
The shepherd boy held his breath and did not dare to say a word.
"Destined."
The calico cat continued to watch, and Song You didn't say a word.
The beef is red and shiny, and looks to be of excellent meat quality.
The shepherd boy finally couldn't help it and asked:
"Are you a god?"
The shepherd boy couldn't think straight and just took it blankly.
The woman glanced out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but smile: "What are you looking at? Are you worried that I can't light the fire?"
"I think you are more like a god than me..."
In fact, this was also the case in previous lives.
"Gulu gulu..."
"ah!"
Song You walked over in a few steps, stopped next to the buffalo, bent down and picked up his reed flute in the grass, straightened up and handed it to him with a smile.
Throughout poetry literature, there are quite a few descriptions of eating beef. Many poets and literati, whether they were proud or depressed, fighting or being demoted, were eating beef and writing poems while eating.
After passing the corner, we were soon close.
"You, a Taoist priest, eat beef?"
Song You looked up and saw that it was already noon, so he found a suitable place to stop, took off his quilt, let the horse rest and graze, while he went to find dry firewood, set up a stove, and took out the pot.
Then he took out an object wrapped in layers of banana leaves.
Before I even tasted it, seeing her enjoying it made me feel a little happy.
"nature."
"yes."
The sun gradually dispersed the morning dew.
In Yizhou, the price of beef is generally higher than that of pork and lower than that of mutton. However, it is only available in big cities like Yidu, and it is difficult to buy it in other small towns.
After Song You collected the dry firewood, he took out the water bag, poured water into the pot, and took out the salt, planning to stew half of it and roast the other half.
"Well……"
"But it's fate?"
"Have you ever eaten it before?"
Just then, a voice came from behind——
"You do it or I do it?"
"Is it tasty?"
The black shadow was long, like a fish, and huge, bigger than a boat. It was faintly visible in the water, but could not be seen clearly. This was the most terrifying thing.
The woman leaned over and took a look at the banana leaf. She recognized it as beef at a glance. Then she let out an ooh and looked at Song You in surprise:
I opened the banana leaves layer by layer. Inside were two kilograms of beef that I had cut when I went out this morning. I had asked the butcher to help cut it.
Unlike before, it was motionless at this time.
And it's very fast.
Just as I was about to light a fire, someone came not far away.
"Your bamboo flute fell."
"The Tao follows nature and follows your heart."
Immediately, the female hero in men's clothing also clasped her fists towards him and looked at him with a smile:
Song You turned around and took a look.
"Then I'll light the fire!"
But what can you do if you don’t shout?
The shepherd boy still stood there with his eyes wide open.
In short, it is not as convenient, cheap and as good as the meat here.
The woman saw that his face was calm, his tone was calm, and he showed no shame or embarrassment, as if he was not a Taoist priest or what he ate was not beef. She couldn't help but feel happy, but she didn't say much.
Now that I've come, I really have to have this meal.
Each other's thoughts are clear.
How could he be flopping in the water like this?
"Fake, made of grass and trees."
It is true that this is a common way to make fires these days, but it is true that he rarely sees people making fires like this. Whether he is in a Taoist temple, walking in the wilderness, or renting in Yidu, he never
I have never used flint to start a fire, but I have occasionally seen others use it once or twice.
The reed flute in my hand fell to the ground and I didn't notice it.
He turned around to look at the man and the cat, feeling confused.
Then a huge thing emerged from the river.
It’s not like you can’t eat beef elsewhere these days.
The shepherd boy panicked and couldn't help shouting.
The shepherd boy's eyes suddenly widened.
"call……"
"Why are you still watching?"
The first thing to jump out of the water was a huge mouth, which was almost as big as its body. It could swallow a boat in one mouthful. Then half of its body came out of the water. It was really unimaginably big. The next second the fish
Then he fell back into the water again, causing a splash of several feet.
The shepherd boy was anxious and did not dare to go into the water.
She turned around and took out the quilt bag on her horse, and actually took out an object wrapped tightly in layers of banana leaves.
…
"Let me see what you eat..."
A short yellow-maned horse, not much bigger than a donkey, was led by a knight. There was a luggage on the horse's back, followed by a family of four, with the adult carrying a sash.
The shepherd boy opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Looking back now, I still find it interesting.
The calico cat also came closer to take a closer look.
The woman untied the straw and unwrapped the banana leaves: "I was afraid it would leak out halfway, so I asked the boss to use two more leaves to wrap it."
Chen Han looked happy and bowed his hands to Song You first:
"Sir, see you again."
The man turned around and walked away, and the horse followed him of his own accord.
Before the shepherd boy could react, the huge black shadow came under the fluttering figure. The black shadow shrank a little at one moment, and then suddenly grew bigger the next second.
"..."
Song You watched her striking the flint carefully.
The woman was more impatient than him, and she refused the Chen couple's request for help. She took out the flint and tinder, looked around, and found some reed spikes and dried leaves, then squatted down and huddled in the Song Dynasty.
A fire began to light in front of Yuta's small stove.
"..."
The shepherd boy was stunned and deeply shocked.
The cat turned away and went to play on the roadside.
The Taoist also withdrew his gaze and began to prepare lunch.
The smoke rises straight into the blue clouds.
The aroma of meat fills the air and induces salivation.
