Chapter three hundred and thirty ninth wall penetration
Managing the ghosts and gods in Yangzhou is no less difficult than managing Yangzhou's military affairs, and many aspects need to be considered.
Fortunately, the current management of Yangzhou is from scratch, and there are not so many shackles. We only need to arrange ghosts and gods to serve as city gods and improve the system.
Fortunately, Li Linfu, the former prime minister, had experience in managing a country. Now he is an old ghost. The ghosts and gods who govern Yangzhou also have many things to learn from. In this regard, Li Xiuyuan also humbly asked for advice and learned from Li Linfu in this regard.
experience.
However, in this house, which was called a haunted house on this day, few people passed by on weekdays.
But today, three scholars came to visit the house.
As usual, Li Xiuyuan, who was dealing with things, heard Niu Er's report.
"Young Master, there are three young master's friends outside the door who are coming to visit. Do you want to see the young master or not?" Niu Er came to the lobby and said, cupping his hands.
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan, who had been burying his head in papers for the past few days, stopped writing and raised his head and said: "I have no friends in Jinling City, and I am just a scholar, and I am not conspicuous in Jinling City. Is there anyone who comes to visit me?"
"It's Wang Ping, Zhu Yu, and Ning Caichen." Niu Er said again.
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan suddenly put down his brush and said with a smile: "It turns out it's the three of them. I didn't expect them to come to Jinling City too. They probably came here to see the list. I just don't know where I learned that I live here. Since they are good friends,
Then of course we should invite them in for a chat."
"Yes, young master." Niu Er responded and went out.
Li Xiuyuan tidied up the copywriting, closed the book of life and death, and prepared to welcome the guests.
Before he was ready, Zhu Yu's laughter was heard outside the door; "Brother Li, I inquired about you from the officer guarding the list before. I didn't expect you to come to Jinling City so soon. Congratulations to Brother Li."
Yes, this time I passed the exam and got the title of scholar, ranking ninth in the first class. When we meet this time, brother Li, you must treat me to a drink. Who made you so rich? A piece of gold was thrown into the water when you said it was thrown away. My eyes are
I won’t even blink, I’m going to eat you several times this time.”
"Ahem, Brother Li, this is his idea and has nothing to do with me. As you know, I am a poor scholar and I can't afford to hire you." Wang Ping coughed lightly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You are even more elegant than before. But don't be busy congratulating me yet. Ning Caichen is the one who really wants to congratulate me. This time he came out on top and Jinling City became famous, even better than me."
He's much stronger, why don't you ask him for a drink?"
Ning Caichen blushed and said, "I'm really sorry... Xiaosheng is short of money. Please, I can't afford it. I went back to Guobei County to collect the bill last time. It was almost a wasted trip. Thanks to Xiaosheng."
He is Mr. Li's friend, so the shopkeeper happily paid the bill. If it weren't for Mr. Li's face, I would have come to Jinling City hungry to see the results."
Zhu Yu smiled next to him and said: "Ten businessmen and nine traitors, you are now a scholar, you should not do this kind of business anymore, it will affect your reputation. The shopkeeper of Jibaozhai must know that it is difficult to settle this account, so he
If you, a scholar like you, are allowed to take action, you are being used by him."
"I didn't think so much before. I just wanted to go to Guobei County to send a message to Mr. Li, and then ask the shopkeeper for an account. After all, the shopkeeper has also taken care of Xiaosheng for several months, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is really
Being taken advantage of by the shopkeeper of Jibaozhai..." Ning Caichen said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled. Among these people, Ning Caichen is the simpler one. Perhaps it is because of this simple mind that he can concentrate on reading, and his literary talent is also the best among them.
"Just think of it as reciprocating love and repaying the shopkeeper's kindness. Don't deal with this profiteer in the future."
Ning Caichen nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would no longer go to Jibaozhai to copy books.
"Brother Li, I heard from the officer at the yamen that the house you live in is a haunted house. I heard it is very haunted. You haven't encountered anything evil these days, right?"
Wang Ping looked around at this time. The lobby was indeed bright and new, but when he walked in before, he saw piles of weeds in the backyard, towering old trees, shadowy shapes, and a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
"I don't know if meeting some ghosts is an evil thing." Li Xiuyuan said.
"What, is there really a ghost here?" Zhu Yu was startled.
Wang Ping shuddered and said: "If there is a ghost, why does Brother Li still live here? No wonder I felt something was wrong when I came in before, as if something was peeking in the dark."
"Hey, brother Wang, when did you become so sharp? Maybe you have cultivated some kind of Tao or acquired some kind of fate." Li Xiuyuan said.
Wang Ping coughed lightly and said with some slight pride: "To be honest, I have been obsessed with it ever since I learned about ghosts and gods. Recently, I have read some Taoist canons and miscellaneous books, and learned about some Taoist techniques for subduing demons, eliminating demons, and flying into the sky.
I was very interested, so I shamelessly begged an immortal in Guobei City a while ago, and finally, with sincerity and perseverance, I learned a Taoist technique under the guidance of that immortal."
Zhu Yu hurriedly said: "When did you learn Taoism? Why didn't you mention it on the road?"
"Taoist magic is for self-protection, so how can I use it casually? The Immortal Chief has already warned me that I must not use it to show off unless it is an emergency, otherwise my Taoist magic will be withdrawn. I promised that to the Immortal Chief.
"Wang Ping said.
"I wonder what Taoist skills you have learned? Is it turning stones into gold? Or is it shrinking the ground into an inch, or flying into the clouds and riding the mist?" Ning Caichen asked in surprise.
After what happened at Lanruo Temple, he saw Yan Chixia flying with a sword, and he was fascinated by the magic of Taoism.
Wang Ping blushed and said: "Those are all top-notch Taoist techniques. The Immortal said that if you want to learn them, you will need at least a dozen of them. I don't have that much time to practice. In the end, I only learned one from the Immortal."
The Taoist technique of escaping through the door is called wall penetration. Next time I encounter monsters and monsters, I can escape through the wall."
Wall penetration?
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up: "Why don't you use such a magical spell to let us experience it? We have never seen the wall-penetrating spell before."
Wang Pingdao hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I promised the immortal not to show off in front of others."
"It will be done once, once, and I will never mention this again next time." Zhu Yu pleaded.
Hearing this, Wang Ping was a little moved. He had never used the wall-penetrating technique since he learned it. We are all close friends here today. Wouldn't it be a lifelong regret if we didn't show it? It's rare that all my friends want to see it. This is an exception.
It should be fine at first glance.
"Then, okay, I will make an exception, just once, and I will never show off in front of others next time." He said seriously.
"Of course, it will be done in just one time." Zhu Yu nodded repeatedly.
Li Xiuyuan next to him saw several people talking about the wall penetration technique and was so interested in it that he couldn't help but think of a story in his mind.
The story tells of a scholar named Wang Sheng who went to seek immortality. However, he wanted to give up practicing Taoism because he could not bear the hardships. When he went down the mountain, he asked the Taoist for a spell and learned a wall-penetrating technique. The scholar
As soon as I got home, I couldn't help but show off to my wife and used the wall-piercing technique, but ended up bumping into her head.
"Hey, the Wang Sheng in the story? It can't be you... It shouldn't be. He learned the magic in Guo Beicheng, not in the mountains."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly came to his senses and suddenly looked at Wang Ping with a strange expression.
"Everyone, watch out, let's see my wall-penetrating technique."
At this moment, Wang Sheng had already taken a few steps back, then shouted and ran out, hitting the wall next to him.
"Wait, wait." Li Xiuyuan shouted hurriedly, trying to stop Wang Ping.
He is not wearing the jade belt on his body now, because he is afraid that ghosts and gods may retaliate against him, and he is also worried that the ghost king has not yet returned, so he has been careful in the past few days and has not blocked his aura.
At such a close distance, if Wang Ping came within three feet of him, no matter whether he could pass through the wall or not, the result would be...
"Bang~!"
With a muffled sound, Wang Ping's head hit the solid wall. It did not go through as expected. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground, covering his head and shouting: "It hurts me to death.
It hurts me to death."
I saw a lump as big as an egg swollen on his forehead.
"As expected, it's you."
When Li Xiuyuan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and it was too late to stop him.
