Chapter 125

Yue State, Yuanzhou, ten miles of wilderness, hundreds of miles of Fu's corpse, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of sorrow and sorrow.

On the spacious and dilapidated official road, three or two wild dogs with red eyes and drooling gathered together, gnawing the flesh and blood in the grass with their heads down, staining their teeth and mouths red.

Bai Jun leads the horse and walks on the old official road, which has been built for hundreds or even thousands of years.The Qingshi Road has long since disappeared, and it has been worn out over the years, but in people's impressions, this is still an official road, an official road that comes out with feet.

The wild dogs on the roadside heard the sound of the horse's hooves, raised their heads vigilantly to search for the sound, and saw Bai Yu.

Bai Yan also happened to see them, his bloodshot eyes, the flesh and blood remaining between his teeth, and his ferocious expression all hinted that they should not be provoked.

"Woo~"

A low warning tone came.

Bai Yan caught a glimpse of the flesh and blood in the grass, he was not angry, just the dog and man looked at each other, and the three wild dogs screamed and ran away in fright.

Going forward, you can sometimes see a touch of gray and white in the grass on both sides of the road, but if you look closely, it is bones, with traces of being boiled, and there is no trace of flesh and blood left on them.

In the sky, one or two black crows flitted over Baijun's head, making the sound of birdsong in the poor mountains and rivers.

Bai Yan knew everything, but there was no need to say it, because there was no one around him.

In the afternoon, there was a road shop at a fork in the official road, and a small flag with the word "tea" hung on the small canopy.

But it was a tea shop, an old man was busy inside, and a young man was greeting him in front of the door.

Seeing Bai Yun's appearance, the servant hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, you are tired all the way, why don't you stop and have a rest and have a cup of tea? There is no place to rest for another twenty miles." place."

Hearing the words, Bai Jun said calmly, "How do you know that there are no shops on the road I'm walking on? You know all the dozen or so roads on this road?"

"Hey, guest officer, you are really right. There is really no road that I don't know about in a radius of tens of miles." The little servant said with a smile: "Looking at you, guest officer, you must have traveled along the Zhaoli official road. Leading to Zhaocheng, right?"

Bai Jun nodded and said, "You boy are right."

He really wanted to pass by Zhaocheng, so he was going there.

Bai Jun led the horse to the side and sat on the wooden bench, "Have a bowl of tea."

The servant hurriedly said, "Okay, guest officer, are you a foreigner?"

Bai Jun raised his eyes to look at the other party, and the servant hurriedly laughed and said, "You can hear it just by listening to the accent."

"That's it."

"Oh, the guest officer, would you like to try our specialty snacks? White rolled sesame seed cakes! Use the best pork, roll it in boiling water three times, then mince it, mix it with the secret sauce and put it in the sesame seed cakes, and keep it for you to eat I still want to eat it." The boy sold it with a smile.

"I'll take a look first."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

The boy said to the old man with a smile all over his face: "Is the Baigun pancake ready? Send it to the guest officer."

The old man responded, rubbing his oily hands on the apron, then took out the baked biscuits from the stove drawer, brought a bowl of tea and said, "Guest officer, please."

Bai Yu glanced at the tea, and there was a smell of cooked meat in his nose, which was sandwiched in sesame seed cakes, and he couldn't help saying coldly: "Tea is not good tea, and cakes are not food cakes."

"Guest officer, what do you mean by this?"

The boy's face turned cold, and he said unkindly.

"This tea costs three taels of silver for a bowl, and this cake costs seven taels of silver. You haven't paid me yet, sir?"

Bai Jun couldn't help laughing out loud, "I'm afraid the black shop doesn't have such a posture?"

But the boy said coldly: "It doesn't matter what kind of shop it is, even the gods will leave tolls when they come. No matter who they come from, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will shrink their heads in front of my Hades shop!"

At this moment, the little servant seemed to be a big murderer, exuding killing intent all over his body, and ordinary little ghosts would be scared away.

With a wave of his hand, the old man took out a brass bell, which jingled as soon as it was shaken.

As soon as Bai Min came back to his senses, he realized that two big bad wolves sprang out from the mountains, watching him with a faint light.

The red horse beside him was startled and restless, wanting to grab the reins and run away.

The two wolves and other villains surrounded Baijun, the old man picked up the knife and smiled, and the Baigun Shaobing immediately had new meat.

But at this moment, Bai Jun stretched out his finger behind the young man and said, "What do you see behind?"

"You want to play tricks on me? No way! You want to run away when you are about to die?"

The boy sneered disapprovingly, in this wilderness, you don't see many people a day, and you will lose money if you open a shop, but you can use the stolen goods to sell rich oil.

"Hi~"

An abrupt voice sounded, and the two gray wolves no longer surrounded the white man, but looked behind the young man warily.

The boy froze for a moment, and said angrily, "You two bastards, what are you looking at me for? I have raised you for nothing, how dare you think about me?"

Hearing the sound, the old man turned his head and glanced, and suddenly said "Ouch", and fell to the ground in fright, wanting to crawl away.

Seeing this situation, the boy hurriedly looked back, only to see an extremely thick python standing up straight and spitting something into the back of his head.

"Damn!"

He cursed, but he was not frightened. Instead, he yelled at the two wolves: "You two are not going to fuck me? It's just a big worm. What's there to be afraid of? Let me kill it! Today The young master has to chop it up and give you two extra meals!"

Come on, it turned out to be so fierce that he lifted the big knife and slashed at it.

"Bang~!"

Sparks came out from the tip of the knife, and a gap was cut in the knife. The boy's mouth was numb from the shock, and his face was shocked.

The two mountain wolves rushed up fiercely with a howl, but were pulled out by the giant python's tail, directly smashing their waists, and they were thrown out by the upside-down flight, drawing more air and less air, lying on the ground whining.

The little servant hurriedly rushed into the grass shed, took a jar of wine and threw it on the white giant python, throwing the fire bag and immediately ignited a big fire.

In the flames soaring into the sky, the giant python's whole body was burning with fire and swinging its body.

He laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! How dare a beast be rampant?"

"Boom~"

But as soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt fell, and suddenly it rained cats and dogs, extinguishing the fire.

The little servant said angrily: "God, what are you helping?"

In the distance, a group of more than ten people on the official road were rushing in the rain. When they saw the shop with "tea" hanging on it, they all trembled. This is the local Hades shop. , Passing by this store requires eight or nine people to go together, if an unknowing stranger encounters it, it will be miserable.

Among the group of people, a young burly man whispered, "Should we... go in and shelter from the rain?"

"Are you crazy, do you want to die? Dare to go to the Palace of the King of Hades?" An old man scolded angrily.

"But there are twelve of us after all, why are we afraid that he will do something alone?" the young man said boldly.

"Are you having a cramp in your head? I'd rather die of a cold than I dare to step in." Another older man said, "If you want to go through the King of Hell's shop, you must save money for your life. There is no money for the little devil." , then he paid with his life. These old sayings are all based on life.

I really don't know when this scourge will end? "

"Hey, Uncle Wang, look quickly, what is that?"

With an exclamation, everyone looked at the palace of Hades in the heavy rain in the distance.

A huge white python was entangled in front of the tea shop, and in the heavy rain, it entangled the notorious King of Tea Cake Hades. Its thick body twisted around the boy's whole body. However, he felt that the neck was getting tighter and tighter, and it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and he was gradually panting and struggling unwillingly.

He began to have severe pain in his chest, his head was dizzy, his eyes were red, and his hands gradually became weak.

"Boom~"

A flash of thunder flashed across the sky, illuminating the stern face of the shop boy. At this moment, he closed his eyes and dropped his hands powerlessly.

The sky, thunder and lightning, and a drop of rain are reflected in the python's vertical snake pupils.

The people who didn't dare to approach in the distance saw that white shadow, and there seemed to be a white shadow standing beside the white giant python, like a human.

But looking again, it seemed that there was no one there.

The giant python crawled into the mountain forest, and a gust of wind and rain turned into fog that blocked the view, and the wind and rain stopped, and everything returned to silence.

"You...look, did you see it?" the youngest man stammered.

"I saw it, I saw it!" An old man said excitedly, "The willow fairy is no more than Tongming Mountain! This is the willow fairy passing through, and our good days are coming!"

"Liuxian? Liuxian! It's really Liuxian!" Everyone was very pleasantly surprised. They lived on the border of Yue, Jin, and Tianjun. They were always envious of the life on the other side of Tongming Mountain. If you enter Tongming Mountain, it will be a sacrifice for adultery and evil, and it will be ordered that the world will not worship willow immortals.

However, how can the people who have been tortured by countless sufferings in the Yue Kingdom forget that there was once an old man Liu Xian who rescued suffering and benevolent sentient beings?
……

Bai Jun got on his horse and continued on his way. He crossed Zhaocheng without entering, and went straight to the northwest.

It was night, Bai Jun walked to Yuntou at the beginning of the month and finally saw a place to rest.

He walked to the door without thinking much, only to realize that the air was heavy, but he still knocked on the door.

"Is the master here? Would you like to stay with me for the next night?"

"Ahem~" A decayed and old voice sounded, "Here we come!"

With the sound of unhurried footsteps, the door was opened, revealing an old but energetic face, an old man in clothes was holding a paper lantern, "Young man, this is a righteous place." Zhuang, you want to stay here overnight, aren't you afraid?"

Bai Jun chuckled, "So it's Yizhuang, I said why the threshold is so high, you can't get in without lifting your legs.

But old man, since you can open the door in the middle of the night, then I have nothing to fear. "

Yizhuang is mostly a place of mortuary. This place is very dark. Once the sun goes down, the door will be closed. No matter what sounds the keeper hears at night, the door cannot be opened.

But the old man opened the door easily, without any sign of fear.

The old man brought Bai Min into the courtyard, tied up the horse, and followed him into the courtyard.

"You young man, why did you come to Yizhuang to spend the night in the middle of the night?" the village guard asked with interest.

"I made the old man laugh. I was in a hurry and missed the inn. Although the Yizhuang is a little colder, it is much better than the wilderness." Bai Yan replied with a smile.

"It's true in this world. The living are the scariest thing." He took a puff of tobacco, pointed at the coffins in the lobby with the stick, and said, "Look at the dead people, how can they still be safe?" Lying here alive, it would be nice not to fight or grab.

If it is a group of living people, they will have to eat, drink, fight and grab all day long, and they will do all kinds of crooked things for one bite at this age. "

Bai Yan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right."

In the lobby, there are rows of coffins and many rolled up straw mats. Both coffins and straw mats must be placed under wooden tables or sticks, and none of them touch the ground.

"Here, be careful where you step." The old man led the way and reminded him.

Bai Jun looked down, his feet were like hard sand on it.

"This is?"

"Glutinous rice, to prevent corpse change." The old man replied lightly.

"Corpse change?" Bai Jun asked, "Could it be that there are still zombies?"

Hearing the sound, the old man stopped in his tracks, and pointed his lamp in one direction, "Look, the window paper was torn by the strong wind a few days ago in the straw mat to the north, and the moon shone in, and that old man's body would It’s moving, and it’s always clanging in front of my door in the middle of the night, disturbing people’s lives.”

Bai Jun was surprised and said, "Then don't you care about the old man?"

"Care? I'm just a corpse guard, not a Taoist monk. Why bother? Anyway, I can't jump out of the threshold of this Yizhuang, so just be a night mouse." The old man said calmly, as if he was really just A mouse chirps twice at night.

"Old man, you are really brave. You are not afraid of a zombie surrounded by the door in your sleep." Bai Yan joked.

"Hehe, afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of." The old man laughed at himself, "There is no one at home, so if you die, you will die."

Bai Yan paused, "Old man, where is your wife?"

"Dead, dead for more than 20 years."

"Where are the brothers and sisters at home?"

"I also have a second brother who joined the army and died on the battlefield when he was young. The eldest brother didn't survive when he was born." The old man shook his head and took another puff of choking tobacco.

Bai Jun also sighed, "The children in that family don't care about you?"

"My eldest son also died on the battlefield when he was 20 years old, and only a piece of tattered clothes was sent back. The second daughter was married as a concubine, and within three months after entering the mansion, she was thrown away by a straw mat When I got outside the door, I, my father, buried it with my own hands.

The third son was taken away by wild dogs, and he was never found again.The fourth daughter died together with the old lady. The midwife said that the fourth daughter grew upside down in the mother's womb, her feet came out first, and her head was stuck to death. "

Bai Jun fell into silence, not daring to speak for a while.

The old man seemed to be lost in memory, and he was still muttering: "My eldest grandson died of a cold, and he was only eight years old at that time. The younger grandson was trampled to death by the son of the king in the city riding a horse in the street.

My grandson's family, the upper and lower three generations are all dead.

But I lived to be more than 80 years old, and I was said to be a loser, and I was ordered to kill my whole family.You say, who else will worry about me?Die, just die.What is there to be afraid of? "

The old man clicked and took a puff of his cigarette. The faint light at night illuminated the white mist of dry smoke, making his face blurred and unclear.

Bai Jun sighed softly: "The old man is indeed lonely."

"Lonely?" The old man smiled, "I also read books when I was young, although I am not a scholar, I can still read.

When you look at the word loneliness, there are children, melons and fruits, puppies, and mosquitoes, enough to support an alley in a midsummer evening. It is full of human touch, but it has nothing to do with me.

Under the canopy where young children hold melons and willows, dogs chasing butterflies in the narrow alleys, the world is full of prosperity and laughter, only I have spare temples.

These are the poems of Master Lin, I am an old man, I really can't write half a sentence. "
