Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 64
boom!
Thunder rolled across the dark sky, and the sound of rain enveloped the world. Coming out of the ruined temple at the boundary of Tongshan, the torrential rain in July has been falling for two consecutive days.

In the vast water vapor, Chen Yuan sat and leaned leisurely. The old cow looked at the bundle of green grass hanging in front of him with rather speechless eyes, and walked slowly in the rain with his hooves.

Fortunately, the spell of avoiding rain was cast, and the rainwater fell on the car body about two feet, and it would slide to the sides by itself.At this time, the distance to the nearest city was still more than 30 miles, and the road ahead became more and more muddy and difficult.

After the rain-avoiding spell failed, Chen Yuan made up again, put "Miscellaneous Suspects of Huangchuan" into her arms, looked around, and suddenly there was a cry of eagles from the sky.

In an instant, a big eagle swooped down against the heavy rain, flapping its wings and landed at Chen Yuan's feet.

"The road ahead was washed away by the flood?"

He read the message from the eagle's eyes. After withdrawing his mana, the bird of prey folded its wings and turned into a wooden sculpture. The sullen master took it back to the carriage and put it away. , actually counting the falling water droplets.

There are many rivers in southern Shonan, and it is common for rivers to swell when it rains. This time, not only the road was flooded, but also the only wooden bridge in a radius of more than ten miles was washed away.

Moo!
The old cow neighed, as if calling Chen Yuan, pointed his nose and nose in the direction, and saw a roadside wild shop in the distance, and the flags and flags with the word "tea" were drooping in the pouring rain .

The old trees outside the tea shop were swaying in the wind and rain, and there were donkeys and horses tied up underneath, and the carriages were covered with tarpaulins. Presumably, the passing traders and travelers had no choice but to rest in this shop to shelter from the rain.

"...Hey, what the hell is going on with this damn weather? It's been two days and I still haven't seen the meaning of God's arrest."

"What's the rush? You haven't seen it last for seven days. Oh, that's scary. Every village has been wiped out."

On a rainy day, a group of people sit in a teahouse, the boiled teapot emits white gas, and the voice of the old man serving the tea speaks with a special atmosphere.

"Guest officer, your hot tea."

"It's the same with you old man. You are still setting up tea stalls on heavy rainy days. Don't be afraid that the rain will wash away all your belongings for eating."

"Hehe, it's useless to be afraid. The old man is most afraid of having no money to command... But it's also good, you rest here so that you can move forward."

I don’t know if the words left by the old man of the teahouse intentionally aroused the curiosity of the guests at the three tables. At this moment, when they heard the groans of the rolling wheels, they all turned their heads to look outside the teahouse, and saw a strange carriage pulled by an ox cart. Outside, a young man in light blue robes led an old man in shabby clothes, ordered two bowls of hot tea, and five pancakes to a table in the corner.

There are many travelers from the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, so there is nothing curious about it. The guests at the three tables thought about what they just said, and someone continued to ask: "Your old man's half-spoken words aroused our curiosity, so let's stop talking. Tell me what happened earlier? "

"Guest officer, for your tea, the pancakes will be warmed up for a while before you bring them over."

The old man in the store poured the tea and served it to Chen Yuan and the crazy old man, then he took the tray and said to the man: "Oh, what can happen, it's just a strange thing, it's a bad year, everything comes out, and the official robs the man. During the war, many women became widows, and later married, thinking about changing it to night, they can always avoid those military masters, right? As a result, a strange thing happened at the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall a while ago."

"What strange thing?!" A group of old and young men who heard the story stretched their necks.

Chen Yuan found it interesting at first, after all, she has always robbed women, this is the first time she heard of robbing men.But later, I felt a little uncomfortable, because the common people would be robbed during the day and patronized at night?

He looked at the tea shop, most of them were rough men traveling around, and there were also some scholars who looked like teachers, dressed in shabby clothes and eating pancakes silently, as if he noticed that Chen Yuan was looking at him, he turned his face and nodded with a smile , breaking off the pancakes in a gentle manner and eating in small bites.

At this time, the old man over there was satisfied with the expressions of the guests seeking knowledge, and returned to the back of the earthen stove before continuing to speak.

"The Chen Clan's Ancestral Hall is located in a wealthy village with a radius of [-] miles. The men and women in the village do not have to worry about getting married, and the government has also smoked it. Later, they changed their arrests. Some people dare not hold weddings during the day, so they have to move them to the night. To welcome the relatives, please come to a gentleman who understands yin and yang. After a lot of calculations, it took a good time to adjust. Who would have thought that the welcoming team had just left the village entrance, and a strong wind blew by, and all the people were turned on their backs. Afterwards, the groom was gone, and only one The horse is still standing there."

"What else is there besides Gale?" The middle-aged scholar asked.

"Nothing." The old man shook his head, and while fiddling with pots and bowls, he said, "I heard from the people who were there at the time that they followed the bridegroom officer out of the village, and the lanterns suddenly went out, and the surroundings were pitch black. They disappeared, and I couldn’t see anything in the dark, as if they were left alone in the dark, which was scary.”

Speaking of this, the old man lowered his voice and said: "But you don't know, the people in the village said that the wedding party was only two feet away from the entrance of the village, and suddenly stopped moving on the road. In the blink of an eye, the groom was on horseback. It disappeared out of thin air."

hiss~
I don't know if I was frightened by the old man's sinister words, or if the things he said were too weird, the group of men took a deep breath and stopped talking.

After a while, someone still cheered up the atmosphere: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about these bad luck on a rainy day."

Someone spoke, and naturally someone answered, with a dry smile, he took over the conversation and said:

"Drinking tea on this rainy day is actually not bad. If there are more dramas to watch, it will be comfortable."

"Speaking of drama, do you know that there are many new woodcarving dramas recently, which are really good-looking. I like the black Zhang Fei in it the most. He has a real temperament. Killing people is called a neat one."

Someone jokingly said: "If you were the one who was killed, you might wish that Zhang Fei would show mercy! But speaking of it, this play is indeed very good. I heard that the troupe is also quite powerful. They are divided into several groups to perform everywhere, and some of them are almost running to Los Angeles."

"There is going to be a war over there, run over there, this is not delivering food to barbarians!"

"I really met, it's their bad luck, forget it, drink tea, drink tea, it's fate that you meet here, come and drink a cup!"

A group of men in the tea shop raised their glasses and shouted loudly, Chen Yuan followed suit with a smile, and signaled to the scholar over there, who also raised their glasses.

Chen Yuan put down the cup, and then saw five pancakes on the plate, only some crumbs remained.

The crazy old man raised his head with puffy cheeks.

"What do you do as a teacher? If you are hungry, you can't eat more."

"Of course you can eat more. If Master doesn't have enough, ask the store to make more."

While talking and laughing, I called the store to re-brand a few more, and heard the whimpering wind outside the shed, and the raindrops slanted on the tea shed.

The sound of the rain and the sound of the wind.

Chen Yuan was blowing hot air, holding a teacup between her lips, quietly listening to a group of men in the shed blowing about strange things from all over the world, and gradually became fascinated.

Make him feel comfortable.

"The world is full of fireworks..."

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark, and it was impossible to drive on a rainy night. It became a habit for a group of traveling men to stay overnight, and they all begged the old man in the store to help him go to his village to talk.

Naturally, the rent must be paid, and the old man knew it well, so he agreed, packed up the belongings in the shop, and took up the burden to call a group of people to follow him in the heavy rain.

Chen Yuan was also among them, and happened to be on the same road as the middle-aged scholar. The two of them clasped their hands together and entered the village that the old man had mentioned.

The villagers who heard the news came out with torches, seven or eight young and strong, and took pictures of everyone's faces one by one. After listening to the old man's words, they simply vacated a big house for them to live together, so as not to disperse their families. It's hard to find someone if something happens.

"It's not peaceful here recently, so don't run out in the middle of the night."

When the young men left, someone gave them some advice, which made the business travelers feel a little uneasy. Could there be something here?Why didn't the old man say it? If I had known it, I might as well spend the night in the tea shed.

One of them saw the appearance of the scholar, and quickly raised his hand: "Sir, you are also knowledgeable, what do you think about this?"

"The house is already occupied, what else can I do, if I really want to encounter what the old man said, I can't do it."

The middle-aged scholar smiled and cupped his hands at them: "But if something strange happens to you, you might as well run towards the door where that person lives."

He picked his chin and indicated the direction where the bullock cart was parked, and a figure from behind was opening the door to enter.

"Sir, why is this?"

"Biqi people too." The scholar said with a smile.
