Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 7 I, Wu Dexian - Gentleman
Wu Xian's heartbroken and heartbroken appearance frightened the little girl. The little girl's big dark eyes rolled around, but she didn't know how to comfort Wu Xian, so she had to threaten, "If you cry again, I took off one arm, cried twice, and then took off another until I finally became a human pig."

Wu Xian felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help shivering, so he had to suppress his "crying" and said generously: "I originally set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Wu Xian lay in a big character on the ground, and died generously Said: "Since you don't regard me as a friend and don't believe my words, you can kill me." Then he closed his eyes, as if he was being slaughtered.

The little girl giggled like a flower, and said: "I believed you, the apprentice of the White Ape Immortal, once, but I didn't expect that you looked like a little beggar, and you actually knew poetry and music."

"It's very easy for me to let you go today. You not only have to give me the yellow-skinned mouse, but also write a poem to make me happy. Since we agreed to meet on Baishui Lake, you can improvise a poem about Baishui Lake." .” The little girl saw that there was a book of poetry in Wu Xian’s bag, so she started to play tricks on Wu Xian.

Wu Xian really racked his brains and couldn't think of anything, so he said nonsense: "My master is a white ape who has become an immortal. He can't understand human language or writing, but martial arts are mysterious, profound and upright; The sound attracts all the birds to return to their nests, and all the beasts are silent; I don’t know the art of painting, but I use black charcoal ink sticks to inscribe paintings on the rock walls, which makes flowers, birds, bees and butterflies come to court.”

"I'm not talented, I don't understand poetry, I can't melody, I don't dare to play an ax in front of the girl, but I have learned three-point painting skills from the master. I would like to make the lady smile with a portrait." Wu Xian said.

"Okay, okay." The little girl was extremely curious and happy, not knowing what a fairy painting looked like.

Wu Xian rummaged around on the ground, only to find the black charcoal ink brush he made, and then covered a piece of white paper on the wooden board, lying on the ground with his back against the wall, his feet slightly retracted, and the wooden board placed on his legs paint on.

The little girl leaned over curiously, her small face was very close to Wu Xian, her big dark eyes stared at the drawing board, "You are so dirty, why don't you stink." The little girl was originally clever and lively. , always restless temperament, has been disturbing Wu Xian by the side, and it is precisely because of this that he slipped out of the palace and met Wu Xian.

Wu Xian didn't answer, and drew on the drawing paper with his little hands dexterously. Wu Xian was really good at sketching. Although he hadn't practiced for more than a year, his skills were even stronger than in his previous life. After a while, the drawing paper spread out vividly. There is a beautiful picture scroll, with withered vines, old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, people, ancient roads, westerly winds and thin horses, it feels like a fairyland.

The little girl's family background is very deep, and there are many capable people in the house, so she has seen a lot since she was a child, but she was also conquered by Wu Xian's novel painting skills and the glamorous scenes in the paintings.

As soon as Wu Xian had a thought, an idea popped up in his mind, so he immediately implemented it. Wu Xian glanced at the little girl. At this time, Wu Xian saw the whole picture of the little girl. If this little girl is beautiful, the most beautiful thing is her heroic and cunning face. , the most beautiful is the watery, black and big eyes.

Seeing Wu Xian staring at her obsessively, the little girl felt a little shy in her heart, but her face was filled with anger, she pointed at him and scolded him: "You lowlife, look at me digging out your eyeballs, so you can't see anything for the rest of your life!" " The small face was arrogant and savage, and a pair of big eyes glared at Wu Xian viciously.

Wu Xian knew that people were under the eaves, so he had to lower his head, snorted coldly and turned his head to draw again. After a while, a little girl came to life in the painting. The little girl is beautiful, surrounded by flowers and butterflies, just like a fairy in a fairyland generally.

Wu Xian put his hands on the ground, kicked his tattered trouser legs, stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his body coldly, and said without emotion: "This is the painting you want." Handed it to the little girl, then quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

Seeing Wu Xian angry, the little girl suddenly smiled, grabbed Wu Xian by the corner of his clothes, and said, "My good brother, don't be angry with me. If you catch the yellow-skinned mouse, I will guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

Wu Xian shook his head and said: "I will deliver what you want on time in six months. As for the three-day agreement, I, Wu Dexian, a gentleman, love is worth a thousand dollars in a lifetime, and I will fulfill what I promise you." Perhaps it was because of fear. The little girl didn't believe it, so Wu Xian raised the four fingers of his right hand and swore: "The emperor is above, and the earth is below. I, Wu Dexian, swear a poisonous oath here. I, Wu Dexian, promise this girl, and I will stick to it and work hard." As a fate, if you violate this, you will be struck by lightning, ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart, and ten thousand insects will devour your heart and you will die."

Hearing Wu Xian make such a poisonous oath, the little girl's face became even more beautiful, and she said, "I will see you at Baishui Lake in three days. I will prepare gold and silver packages for you. I hope you will have a smooth journey and come back soon."

Wu Xian handed the pearl hairpin to the little girl, she just shook her head, her beautiful eyes stared at Wu Xian and said, "I gave it to you, just treat it as my compensation for what happened before."

Wu Xian was overjoyed, finally got rid of the tiger's mouth, walked to the alley entrance without haste, turned his back to the little girl and waved goodbye, "Hey, do you want these things?"

"It's all given to you." Wu Xian has taken away all the things that should be brought, and left some drawing paper and small gadgets. He was in a hurry to save his life, and those things were useless, so he simply threw them away.

Seeing that Wu Xian was about to leave, the little girl felt a little doubtful and worried, and suddenly shouted: "Wu Dexian, you must come in three days. I have grown up so much, and you are the only friend."

Wu Xian didn't look back, and waved his hand again to indicate that he heard it. Wu Xian said goodbye like a mosquito, and disappeared among the crowd with a rag bag on his back.

Wu Xian walked indifferently, and when he turned around and couldn't see the little witch, he hurriedly ran to find old man Li and ran away, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty couldn't wait.

The little girl stayed in the dark alley, not as lively and spooky as before. She sadly packed some of the little beggar's belongings, looked at Wu Xian's far away figure, and murmured: "Wu Dexian, look at your story and For the sake of painting, I won't argue with you."

"I said boy, what have you done to escape in such a hurry." The two of them headed south all the way in the dark, planning to go to the chief rudder of the beggar gang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to ask for a living.

"Oh, I picked up a pearl hairpin by the side of the road, who knows..." Wu Xian told the old beggar with a bitter face, which made the old beggar laugh out loud.When it was said that he would rather go to death than kneel down and bark at the dog, the old beggar slapped Wu Xian on the head and said angrily: "A man can bend and stretch, and if there are green hills, he will not be afraid of lack of firewood. The Yuejia swallowed the Wu division, and Han Xin, the soldier fairy, was also humiliated by his crotch, next time we encounter this situation, we must first save our lives."
