At this time, in the high-walled courtyard of Zhuqianzhuang, the atmosphere was strange and somewhat absurd.
The torches were burning all around, and the bandits and the kneeling villagers in the courtyard were motionless, all staring at the crazy woman under the wall who was blowing the torch vigorously.
Cheng Yu knew in his heart that this woman had been frightened crazy when Qian Duofu died, and then her eldest son Qian Bi, now Duan Qian, hurried back to the village and gagged her mouth.
He was bundled into a car and fled the village overnight.
I never thought of going round and round and finally meeting her again here.
Well...
Since this crazy woman has appeared, Duan Qian's family must probably also live here.
Suddenly Cheng Yu remembered the name of Zhuangzi, Zhu Qianzhuang, Zhu Qian. Could it be that they are homophonic to the word "Zhu Qian"?
If this is true,
It can be seen that Duan Qian is deeply obsessed with the Qian family in Qingchuan.
Just when Cheng Yu was thinking about it secretly, he heard the crowd kneeling below his feet.
Two people are whispering.
"You useless little brat! I asked you to take good care of me, how did you let her run out? But you forgot to give her medicine?"
"I fed her, but the thief was about to rush in, so I only fed her two mouthfuls in a hurry, and then dragged her into the cellar after she fell asleep. Maybe the medicine had worn off, and I woke up and ran out on my own. What should we do?"
"..."
Cheng Yu heard these two voices and looked around, only to see two young men among the kneeling crowd, one was less than 20 years old, and the other was younger, only about ten years old.
Both of them were wearing ordinary clothes, and their faces were obviously covered with a layer of dust.
Even so, Cheng Yu still recognized them: Qian Duofu's two sons.
Cheng Yu has met Qian Bi twice before, and his identity at this moment should be Xin Ke Yayuan of Qianjiang Mansion.
What impressed me most about this Dalang of the Qian family was that on the day when the results were revealed, the examiner publicly announced that he was the second Asian Yuan. The officials on the stage were still waiting to see how embarrassed this Asian Yuan was after high school.< /p>
But this one stood out among the crowd and just laughed.
He has a bit of a free and easy heroic demeanor.
But Cheng Yu only had these impressions of Qian Dalang, that is, Duan Qian at this time.
On the contrary, the memory of his youngest son is more profound.
I still remember that when he first came to this world, he traveled directly into the bird's body. At that time, he was full of complaints and encountered various difficulties.
It was only after Hei Tantou moved to Qian Duofu's house that he gradually got used to it.
During those days, the man named Erzhu, Erlang of the Qian family, always looked up but did not see him when he looked down.
Later, he got the skill of Xiao Shui by chance, and while he was drunk that night, he left a note on the earthen wall about the golden salamander killing the dragon, and the name of the Bird Immortal spread throughout the village.
At that time, although these two pillars were about to be enlightened at a young age, they held a brush and carefully copied them on the wall stroke by stroke all day long.
Later, something happened to Qian Duofu, and his family escaped from Qingluo Village overnight. It turned out that they were living anonymously in this village in Qingyang County, but unfortunately they were robbed by bandits again.
At this time, the two young men were kneeling in the crowd and whispering to each other. Unexpectedly, their crazy old lady couldn't blow out the torch in front of her.
I turned around to blow the one next to me, but just when I turned around,
When he saw the sixteen smooth characters in front of Duan Yulou, his eyes immediately shone with a strange light, he raised his hand and pointed, then trotted over.
"Hehe...hehehe."
She ran to Duan Yulou, not afraid of the big knife in his hand, pointed at the writing on the wall and said with a giggle:
"I have it at home too."
Duan Yulou frowned and asked:
"What do you have at home?"
The crazy woman pointed at the tip of her nose and asked an unexpected question:
"My family, my family also has more than this, and they are all engraved with monuments. My head said that he will be famous for eternity, he will be famous for eternity... My head, my head... Where is my head?"
The crazy woman's eyes began to lose focus, and she looked left and right for a while.
"Where did this crazy woman come from? She's unlucky, pull her down and chop her down!"
"Yes!"
Several minions behind him rushed forward, picked up the crazy woman and dragged her to the side. Duan Gan, who was kneeling at this time, saw that the knife was about to fall, so he had to stand up with his head on his head, shouted "Everyone, wait a minute!", and then
Pushing aside the crowd, he strode up to Duan Yulou, took a look at the big knife in his hand, gritted his teeth secretly, cupped his hands and saluted:
"Your Majesty, wait a minute. This is my mother. She was framed by someone before and she was in a state of unconsciousness. I asked your forgiveness. I will take her back right away. At the same time, I will donate all the remaining food in the house to your Majesty as military supplies."<
/p>
Seeing his brother rushing forward, Erlang struggled to get up and followed Duan Gan, tugging at the hem of his gown, but his whole body was trembling.
"Sparrow... sparrow, sparrow, sparrow..."
Duan Qian noticed something strange behind his body and looked back, only to see Erlang tremblingly pointing at the sixteen large characters made of water on the earthen wall, stuttering repeatedly.
Duan Qian didn't know why, but it was important to save his mother. He threw away Erlang and was about to salute and plead again. Unexpectedly, Erlang fell to his knees and cried: "Plop!"
"Quieque...Grandpa Quexian! You have appeared. Please help me quickly."
Duan Qian turned around and cursed angrily:
"Why are you so crazy? What about Master Quexian...Grandpa Quexian?"
Duan Qian suddenly remembered that Erlang had mentioned to him more than once that there had been a bird fairy in Qingluo Village who had performed miracles before, which was the story about the Golden Salamander Killing the Jiao left on the earthen wall using his own homemade fruit wine. At first, Ganpo didn't take it seriously, because when he returned to the village, it had been a long time and the handwriting had long since disappeared. Moreover, his family had just been destroyed, and he was in a hurry to save his mother and brother. How could he bother to study the miracles of sparrow immortals?
After luckily escaping from the dead, relying on the books he had saved earlier, he was living well. After having some free time, he personally initiated Erlang's education, but unexpectedly discovered that this little idiot could actually write down the story about the Golden Salamander Killing the Jiao. Although the writing skills are childish, the structure of the glyphs and the strokes of the strokes are something I have never seen in my life. It cannot be created by this stupid Erlang. I have some confidence in my heart.
At this time, I saw Erlang kowtowing to the sixteen characters on the wall and calling him Grandpa Quexian. He hurriedly turned back and looked at the wall. He couldn't see it clearly when he was far away, but when he saw it up close, it was like a thunderbolt.
But as Erlang always said, the big characters made of water are shining and spinning.
"There is such a thing as a fairy..."
He muttered to himself, and then suddenly remembered something. After carefully reading the sixteen characters on the wall again, he raised his hands and saluted Duan Yulou:
"Congratulations to the great king, congratulations to the great king. The great king has the help of gods and immortals, and will be designated as the ninth-five-year-old king in the future."
"Oh?"
It was difficult to hit the smiling man with his fist. Duan Yulou loosened his grip on the sword after hearing this:
"What do you mean by this?"
Duan Qian saw that there was a chance of survival, and he hurriedly spoke generously:
"Your Majesty, you don't know. The Que Immortal Grandpa that my young brother keeps chanting about has indeed performed miracles in my village before. There is still a Que Gong Temple built on the village. This god, he, this old man..."
After saying this, he raised his hands to the sky and saluted. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu was staring above his head, frowning slightly.
In fact, Cheng Yu's original intention was just to persuade Duan Yulou, the bandit leader, to stop killing people, and he never expected to meet Duan Qian in this village.
There was a huge chaos and noise, hundreds of people were in a chaotic mess, and Cheng Yu couldn't distinguish the voices of Duan Qian's family.
I saw the newly promoted Yayuan from Qianyuan Prefecture below explaining the meaning of the sixteen characters on the wall, adding some of his own understanding, which was pretty much the same, and then beheaded the golden salamander that Cheng Yu had left behind. After briefly telling the story about Jiao Zhi, Duan Yulou said half-convinced:
"Is this true?"
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, please read the writing on this wall carefully. Who among mortals has this ability?"
"Hmm...you said there was a Que Gong Temple in Zhuangzi where you were before?"
"Yes, there is a golden body of a sparrow immortal in the temple. He is dressed in a white shirt and is as elegant as the snow. He is a model for scholars of our generation."
Duan Qian made an impassioned speech for a while. In fact, he had not seen the golden body of Cheng Yu with his own eyes. He only heard Erlang's oral description.
But just now I saw that Duan Tianwang seemed to dislike scholars, and his words suggested that Cheng Yu would be his backer.
"Hmm? Wearing a white shirt to win the snow? Does he look like an elegant scholar?"
"Exactly."
Hearing this, Duan Yulou and Hou Siniang looked at each other, and the two of them recalled their respective past events.
In front of the martial arts temple in Qingchuan County, a martial arts student was performing on the stage and was getting excited. However, for some reason, he was suddenly dragged into the air by a ferocious ghost and was fighting. Fortunately, a man in white clothes came and rescued him in time. He was rewarded before he was finished. He took a sip of wine to heal his injuries.
At the bottom of the Longxiang River, a weak woman who had just escaped death from a wooden box was almost choked to death by the river water. Fortunately, she was rescued by the fairy in white and then floated to the surface of the river to escape.
Between two hills, a group of bandits faced the young man in white shirt standing on the path, but no one dared to move.
"You should take care of yourself..."
This was the last thing the immortal said to Hou Siniang.
"Mr. Wu, let me ask you, what is the specific attire of the golden body of Grandpa Quexian you mentioned?"
"This..."
Duan Qian hesitated for a while after hearing this. It was true that he had never seen the golden body of the Bird Immortal. Now that he was asked about the specific attire, and Duan Yulou's tone became serious, he did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
He turned around and kicked Erlang, who was kneeling, and asked him to explain the sparrow fairy costume in detail. Erlang hummed but did not dare to get up. He only knelt down with his butt stuck out and said:
"Grandpa Quexian has a tall and handsome figure, wearing a white Xiaoyao scarf on his head, two white silk ribbons on the back of his head, a white shirt, and a sash around his waist."
"Ah..."
Duan Yulou and Hou Siniang looked at each other again. After a few breaths, they woke up, turned around almost at the same time, and knelt down facing the sixteen characters on the wall:
"Thank you very much for the appearance of Grandpa Quexian. We will obey your teachings until death."
"Thank you so much for the appearance of Grandpa Quexian!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Quexian, for your blessing!"
The bandits and bandits behind Duan Yulou, as well as the people who were kneeling, all kowtowed.
"Bang bang" After kowtowing for a while, everyone looked up again, only to see that the sixteen big characters on the earthen wall had disappeared, leaving only the crazy woman standing alone next to her, looking at the people kneeling down and laughing.
Duan Qian knelt in the crowd of gangsters, sighing in his heart, and thought to himself: Thank you Grandpa Quexian for showing up again, and thank you for my quick wit, otherwise I would not be safe.
