Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 290 The Weight of Life and Death
Meng Xi is a Jinshi in the current dynasty, although he has not been an official, but it is only a matter of time, as long as there is a vacancy in the imperial court, he will naturally fill it, and once he becomes an official, he will at least be at the county magistrate level.

In fact, Mengxi's subsequent official position is not just a county magistrate, but a magistrate.

A person with such a fate is considered very honorable, after all, a magistrate is not a Chinese cabbage, he can be seen everywhere.

Such a person will have a prosperous luck and fortune, and will be protected from the dark, and it will be difficult for ghosts to harm them.

But after all, Meng Xi is just a young and energetic scholar who has not yet become an official. Now, after being scolded and humiliated by Li Xiuyuan, he loses his mind and wants to fight Li Xiuyuan desperately with a waist knife.

He is a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and he seems to have difficulty lifting a waist knife that weighs more than ten catties. Although his face is red and his face is flushed with anger, such a person does not pose any threat to Li Xiuyuan.

"I'll fight you." Meng Xi yelled angrily, and slashed at Li Xiuyuan with his knife.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, but he didn't fight back, he just let go, and poured the golden gun in his hand towards Meng Xi.

The force of the 72-pound swallowing golden gun fell on Meng Xi's shoulder naturally, his shouting stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground with a cry of pain. He was ashamed and angry. I want to get up, but my arm hurts, and the big gun is really heavy on my body, and I can't get up because I danced and danced for a while.

"You and I are just quarreling, but you want to kill me with a knife." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "This is not the style a scholar should have. I didn’t move my hands but didn’t speak, just now Li Liangjin called me a martial artist, I wasn’t angry, why did you act like this when it’s my turn to say a few words about you?”

"Hehe, it seems that you don't like being insulted by others. You want to draw your sword and kill someone when you are scolded anxiously. If that's the case, why did Shicai insult me? Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. It seems that you have the title of Jinshi It's a big name."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Meng Xi who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up with a half-smile.

Meng Xi's complexion fluctuated, and he wanted to refute with his own knowledge, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it. Just now, he was angry for a while, and couldn't bear Li Xiuyuan's humiliation, so he wanted to kill him.

Anger was mixed in his heart, and this anger was suffocated in his heart again. Immediately, he yelled out of anger, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

"Okay, you're really strong, you don't say a word from the beginning to the end, you'd rather vomit three liters of blood than bow your head and admit your mistakes. You are really a role model for us and a pillar of the imperial court. I have to study hard." Li Xiuyuan stroked his palm. He praised, but got off his horse, took the golden spear away, and then glanced at Li Liangjin.

Li Liangjin's face was gloomy and ugly at the moment.

A Jinshi was so angry that Li Xiuyuan vomited blood and passed out.

And this Li Xiuyuan was really measured, he didn't use force at Meng Xi, but a big gun fell down and hit Meng Xi's body.

Compared with Meng Xi drawing his sword to face each other, this is simply admirable kindness, even if he wants to make a fuss about it, he can't do it.

As for the confrontation in the quarrel, the skills are not as good as the others, so there is nothing worth mentioning.

"Brother Meng Xi." When the other scholars saw that Meng Xi was finally unconscious, they hurried forward and helped the unconscious Jinshi Meng Xi back. At the same time, they glanced at Li Xiuyuan angrily.

It was as if these scholars had a vengeance against his father.

Li Liangjin said at this moment: "Besides some vulgar martial arts, you, a martial artist, did not expect to have the ability to curse people, but I don't want to talk nonsense with you, a martial artist. Today, this green mountain belongs to Hu Hei. I advise you You'd better accept it as soon as you see it, and leave right now, otherwise, my son will not only make you unable to pass the Juren examination for the rest of your life, even your status as a scholar will be difficult to protect."

"If you come to Jinling City in the future, I have a hundred ways to make you unable to stay in Jinling City. You martial artist should think carefully. The next exam will be held in Jinling City."

After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan with a strong threatening expression.

The ancestor of the Li family was the founding general, a descendant of a prince, a big family, above the imperial court, there were Li family officials in every state and county, especially in Jinling City, it was easy to get rid of a scholar.

However, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Fame and wealth are like floating clouds with me. It doesn't matter if you want to or not, but if you really want to use some dirty means to deprive me of my fame, then I don't mind using selfishness to deprive you of it." Decades of longevity, if you are willing to trade your lifespan with me for fame, I really don't care."

Li Liangjin wanted to use official methods to deal with him, so Li Xiuyuan would use ghosts and gods to fight back.

"Huh?" Li Liangjin frowned at this moment with some doubts.

I don't know what Li Xiuyuan's words mean.

"What does the son-in-law mean?" Hu Han was also a little confused.

Qing'e slightly shook her head, a little puzzled, she didn't spend much time with her husband, so she didn't know many things.

"Deprive me of my lifespan, do you think you are a god in the sky, or Yan Luo in the underworld? I am the fate of a prince, which ghost dares to break ground on my head." Li Liangjin shouted, he is also often in contact with ghosts and gods, so it is not Don't believe this kind of stuff.

Li Xiuyuan smiled without saying a word, just took out a black ancient book from his bosom.

There are three big characters written on the ancient book: Book of Life and Death.

As soon as the book was taken out, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop, and there was a gloomy aura emanating, which made people shudder.

"What? The book of life and death of Yan Luo in the underworld." Hu Hei's face turned pale with shock.

According to legend, in the hands of Yan Luo in the underworld, the book of life and death, which can determine life and change life, unexpectedly appeared in the hands of the scholar invited by Hu Han.

how can that be.

"Book of life and death?"

The other elves in the valley were also stunned. Mountain elves like them had never seen this legendary underworld treasure.

"My God, he actually has this treasure, who in the world would dare to oppose him." Hu Han was also taken aback, feeling that his daughter's husband was getting more and more difficult.

Ghosts and gods are not close, Taoism is useless, riding Zhang Sengyou's dragon horse, and holding the book of life and death of Yama in the underworld.

No matter how you look at it, this is not something that an ordinary scholar should have.

Li Liangjin was also stunned at the moment, he could tell from the strange faces and exclamations that this really seemed to be the legendary book of life and death.

"How could you have this?"

"Of course I borrowed it, and I have to return it later, what? Do you want to? I can lend you to read and read, maybe you can see your future destiny." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, very bold expression Willing to lend it to Li Liangjin to read.

Li Liangjin's heart was moved at this moment. If he could look through such a treasure in the world, he would be able to brag in front of anyone in the future, and he would be able to know his own life expectancy, which would be a very tempting thing.

Immediately, he walked over and wanted to reach out to take the book of life and death and read it.

"Mr. Li, stop quickly. This is the book of life and death in the underworld. It controls the life and death of the creatures in the world. This book cannot be read by ghosts and gods with profound morals. If anyone in the world reads it, they will be condemned by heaven, even if it is Mr. Li and your prince's Fate can't bear the consequences of God's punishment." Seeing this, Hu Hei turned pale with shock, and hurried over to stop Li Liangjin's move.

In addition to reading it, you will be punished by God, and you will be punished if you leak it.

Even if Li Liangjin can bear the consequences of flipping through the book of life and death, there is no guarantee that it will not be leaked in the future.

This is the same as the retribution for a cultivator who reveals the secrets of heaven.

"What? There is such a thing." Li Liangjin was also shocked, and hurriedly took his hand back in fright.

"I don't believe in such a thing. The book of life and death is just a means for him to deceive us. It's not worth trusting. Li Xiuyuan, how dare you borrow me to read it? I will definitely expose your deceit. trick."

At this time, a scholar came over angrily, as if he didn't believe Li Xiuyuan's words.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's okay to borrow you to read it, but you have to bear the consequences."

"One person does things, one person is in charge, don't talk too much." The scholar stretched out his hand and snatched the book of life and death.

"Okay, have backbone." Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't stop him.

The book of life and death fell into his hands and had never been read by others. He wanted to see if the consequences of reading the book of life and death that his master said were true.

Since ancient times, it has been important for princes to aspire to the top.

But who knows, life and death are more important than a tripod.

"He is a scholar who is destined to be a magistrate, but now he is only a scholar. It is too dangerous for him to read the book of life and death." Hu Han took a look and knew the luck of this scholar.

The scholar immediately opened the book of life and death, and began to flip through it, but when he flipped through it, he saw a piece of blank paper inside, without a word at all.

Immediately, the scholar laughed loudly and said: "Did you see that there is nothing in this book, it's just a white book, without writing a word, it really is a trick used by Li Xiuyuan to deceive people."

Everyone was in shock, because after the book of life and death was opened, they saw a black light covering it, so that they couldn't see clearly what was written in it.

It seems that only the scholar who was flipping through the pages saw something.

But when the scholar laughed at the one who broke Li Xiuyuan's trick, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him was getting darker and darker.

It was clearly noon, and there was plenty of sunlight, but the sky and the earth quickly darkened, and it was already night in a blink of an eye, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Hey, it's so dark"

The scholar was startled and looked around, only to find that the surroundings were horribly dark, without any light, and could only hear voices coming from nearby.

But at this moment, everyone saw that there was a trace of blood in the scholar's eyes, the eyes had turned black, and the pupils had disappeared.

Blind~!

Li Liangjin felt terrified in his heart, the scourge came so quickly, he only read the book of life and death, and he was already blind.

"You are really hypocritical. You talk nonsense and are superstitious, but in the end you get entangled with fox spirits and help them slaughter their own race. Now that the spirits and monsters are in front of you, you still say you don't believe in ghosts and gods, so you insist on turning it over. Looking at my book of life and death to expose my so-called lies, it is really ridiculous. Today you have such a retribution, not just because of reading my book of life and death, but because you have killed too much here, relying on your own fate Just act recklessly, now the blessings have been exhausted, otherwise why did you only rush out to look through my life and death book just now, but no one else? It’s fine if you don’t see me in the future, go home and live in peace of mind.”

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, he walked over and took the book of life and death.

Feeling that the book of life and death in his hand was taken away by Li Xiuyuan, coupled with his words, the scholar immediately realized that the situation was not good.

It seems that I have gone blind.

It's not that the world is dark in front of me, but that I'm already blind and can't see.

"I, am I really blind?" The scholar's voice trembled.

He passed the examination as a scholar at a young age, and if there were no accidents, he would at least be an official in the future. Now that he is blind, the road to the imperial examination will come to an end here, and he really can only live for the rest of his life.

The other scholars were shocked, their mouths moved, and they wanted to speak, but they couldn't say a word.

Are ghosts and gods really so dangerous?

Is karma really so fast?
