Pei Ziyun's heart suddenly shivered and he listened.
The boatman's voice changed and became a little cold: "You don't dare anymore?"
"No, no, it's just that the scholars are all together, and there are so many people..." The boat boss was in a panic, and the preface did not match the last sentence. The boatman said in a cold voice: "This is the helmsman's intention. Let's do it tomorrow and let this boy Pei fall into the water. Who will do it?" If he offends Mr. Zhang, he will be unable to eat and carry around."
"You just need to boil the water, sprinkle the medicine in, and when the boy fishes it out, call it cold-relieving soup and drink it in his mouth."
With a "pop" sound, Pei Ziyun went to look and saw that the boss of the boat was holding a hookah. It fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground, making a gurgling sound.
Pei Ziyun took it back and thought to himself: "If you take a boat, someone will come to harm you."
I didn't know what to feel for a moment, I just listened to the sounds outside getting quieter and quieter. Seeing that the conversation was about to end, Pei Ziyun was stunned, then slowly backed away, walked gently up the stairs, reached the second floor, opened the door and entered the room without lighting the lamp. , lying on the boat, thinking about it carefully.
The waves were hitting the hull of the boat outside the window, and there was some sound of water. Following the sound of water, I stood up again and started pacing in the room.
"One wave after another, this jade jade boy is so courageous and so rampant. It seems that if I don't kill him, I won't be able to get peace?"
After thinking about it like this, he picked up the sword from the bedside and pulled it out. The sword body was exposed. It reflected the light. The sharp weapon was in his hand, and he had murderous intentions.
"Although I have no spiritual wisdom and cannot practice Taoism, I can no longer compare myself to Woniu Village."
"We can't be passive anymore. Kill this person and then find a way to seek revenge!"
"I'll think about it again, how to get revenge?"
"By the way, in the memory of the original owner's previous life, when the entrance to the Holy Prison Gate was breached, he was beheaded. Besides Yue Juren, there was one other person."
"Li Wenjing, announce the charges. This person is actually one of the core, and he plays a role like a military advisor!"
"This person, as I heard in the previous life, is not very good at the Dao Dharma, so he can be killed."
"And remember to search the house. He doesn't live in the house, but at a ferry, right on the waterway."
"Killing this person will severely defeat Zhang Jieyu's party members. When I master Taoism, I will find a way to kill Zhang Jieyu."
Pei Ziyun made up his mind at the moment and stroked the sword. The light of the sword was cold, and his eyes also had a cold light.
early morning
Pei Ziyun got up and practiced the Hundred Beasts Diagram. The Hundred Beasts Diagram is good for this. You can practice even in a small area. He heard people's voices below, but he didn't pay attention while practicing. He felt his body tremble and the teacup on the table shook a few times. , someone shouted "Pull the anchor!"
Pei Ziyun didn't care, and continued to practice. He felt warm for a while. Although he didn't have spiritual roots, he couldn't enter the third level, but practicing for a long time can deepen the foundation. Once he gets the spiritual roots, he can be promoted in one fell swoop.
After practicing, I opened the window and looked outside, and a breeze blew in.
Before the sun had risen, many fishermen got up and cast their nets to catch fish, and some passenger ships had already raised their sails. Some birds stood on the sailboats. When the sails were opened, they flew up and dropped a few feathers.
Practice drawings of animals, recite readings, and practice calligraphy. Only after finishing these, do you go downstairs.
There was pasta on the first floor below. Pei Ziyun felt happy when he came down and asked for a bowl of fresh river noodles. He looked towards the kitchen and saw that the pasta was all ready and the cooking was the same as last time.
The chef scalded the noodles into the water. Pei Ziyun didn't look any further and sat on the table. After a while, a bowl of noodles was served. There were several large pieces of fresh fish piled on top and sprinkled on top. Some chopped peppers and green onions, vinegar, spicy oil, and pickled cabbage are placed on the table for free use.
With steam coming out of his face, several scholars he met yesterday came downstairs and saw Pei Ziyun coming over. Yi Xiucai, who was tossing and turning yesterday, could not see any traces today. He smiled and said, "Brother Pei, the chef on this ship is pretty good, isn't he? I took this boat when I went to Texas, and I fell in love with this chef."
Then he shouted to the chef: "Bring me a piece of river noodles, add spicy food, and add an egg."
Hearing this scholar's shout, three scholars followed him and shouted. After a while, the noodles came up, all with eggs, fried until brown and tender, and they were talking to each other.
In the last term, so-and-so had only mediocre literary talents, but he was lucky enough to win the exam. There was also someone who was dismissed from his job due to fraud in the examination room. Most of the stories he talked about were from the previous term, some interesting and some serious.
After a while, we talked about the noon docking point. These people had gone there once or several times and said, "Brother Pei, the next stop of this boat is Zhitongfu. There is a Taoist temple there that is very efficacious and can calculate people's fortunes." According to the fortune, we can go here to get a fortune telling at noon, and then tell the boss of the boat, we will wait for it."
Pei Ziyun asked: "Is this view far from the pier?"
These people all smiled: "Brother Pei works hard and refuses to waste any time. This temple is close to the pier and not far from the river. There are many pilgrims every day, and it only takes half an hour to go."
Pei Ziyun agreed.
A few people chatted for a while, and soon they saw a lot of people coming in. It was a bit noisy, so they stopped talking and everyone went back to their rooms to rest or study.
The river flowed down the river, and the morning always passed quickly. I heard the scholar call the door, and when I opened the door, I saw four scholars had changed their clothes, all dressed in green clothes, with pendants hanging on their waists, and each of them was holding a folding fan. When they saw Pei Ziyun opening the door, they said, "Brother Pei, go quickly."
Pei Ziyun had no choice but to follow him out of the boat and onto the dock. The boatman watched Pei Ziyun getting off the boat, his eyes shining brightly, and he hesitated for a few steps. The helm gave way and secretly pushed the man into the river. It was difficult to do anything after he got off the boat.
A few people got off the dock. The dock was very lively, with people coming and going. Carts and oxcarts carried goods to the dock, and then workers carried the goods onto the ship. They were all naked from the waist up, with only linen cloth on their shoulders.
After leaving the pier, there was a street paved with bluestone slabs. Many vendors were selling incense for worshiping gods. Yi Xiucai pulled Pei Ziyun's sleeve: "Brother Pei, we are almost there."
Going up the bluestone road, there is a Taoist temple. There are many women on the road, holding baskets and coming down. It is noon, the sun is hot, and there are not many people.
Several scholars couldn't stand the sun anymore, so they opened their folding fans and covered their faces while talking. When they looked closer, they saw that it was a small temple, not big, surrounded by a wall.
After entering the door, there was a Taoist sweeping the yard. It turned out to be a female crown, about fifty years old. She was using a small broom under several sweet-scented osmanthus trees to gather all the fallen sweet-scented osmanthus together.
These scholars didn't pay attention and went straight into the hall. They didn't recognize the statues of gods inside.
This is normal. The City God is not a Taoist system, but a national god, or a political god. Are these statues of real people and true kings
On the left side of the hall, a female crown holds a hexagram table. On the hexagram table is a wooden tube with wooden picks in it. The hall is very tidy, and a merit box is placed under the statue of the god.
There were people in the front who paid homage to the statue and then went to ask for divination. The group of people were very respectful. The first few people all paid homage to the statue. Pei Ziyun also stepped forward and bowed, took a hundred coins and put it into the merit box.
Everyone in front had already seen it. Yi Xiucai took a fortune and listened to the female crown's explanation. The hexagram was not very good and he couldn't help but look pale. It was Pei Ziyun's turn to step forward and take a fortune.
The female crown took the wooden pick, took it in her hand and read it. She raised her head and glanced at Pei Ziyun. The female crown's eyes were bright and full of energy. She just glanced at it and then lowered her head. She seemed to be thinking about it. After a long time, she raised her head. At first, he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young master. I hope to win the election. However, the young master looks murderous and has an evil spirit. There is a faint haze in Yintang. There is a danger on the road of luck. I'm afraid there will be some obstacles."
When Pei Ziyun listened to what this female crown said, he couldn't help but think of his reincarnation, fighting all the way, destroying thieves, killing thieves, and seizing luck. Now he even had a glimpse of the holy prison gate. He couldn't help but smile. This female crown was really interesting. Yes, he took another hundred coins, put it into the merit box, and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
When the nun saw Pei Ziyun, she turned around and left with a solemn expression. Just as she was thinking, listening to the shouts, the pilgrims queuing up behind came to ask questions, so she took the fortune teller and began to interpret it.
As soon as a few people arrived on the boat, they heard the boss of the boat greeting him: "Masters, have you eaten? The boat is about to sail again. If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together!"
It turned out that while several people were going to burn incense, the boat boss caught a big fish on the net. As soon as the few people came back, the boat boss came to invite them. The smell of the fish overflowed, which made people open their index fingers. They went there in a hurry without eating. At this time They were all hungry, so Yi Xiucai sat on it.
This fish is really good. Just eating fish is not enough. After hearing the boss of the boat saying hello, a boatman brought a pot of rice wine and invited a few people to drink.
Pei Ziyun was shuddered but refused to drink the wine. However, if dozens of people ate this big fish, they would not dare to poison it, and the fish and meat had enough chili pepper to make him sweat slightly while eating.
At this time, the boss of the boat kept urging people to drink, and after a while everyone was a little drunk.
The ship was sailing very fast, and the boatman in charge of the sail had already eaten. Pei Ziyun had already been prejudiced, and when he glanced around, he saw that the boatman looked over from time to time and sneered.
"It's a bit urgent. I'll go back as soon as I go." Pei Ziyun said deliberately, and everyone waved: "Go quickly, go quickly!"
There is no bathroom on this boat, especially for men. Naturally, they can go to the side of the boat for convenience. At this time, standing on the side of the boat, I saw that the river was wide and the waves were rough. There were mountains on both sides, with greenery, and there was only one building on the shore. It was obvious that Cheng thought to himself: "If my guess is right, now is the time."
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a slight sound. I looked sideways and looked out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough, the Hengrou boatman was approaching quietly. As he got closer, the boat had not yet rocked. The boatman pounced, stretched out his hand and pushed, shouting: "Master, be careful!"
As he got closer, he saw Pei Ziyun raising his face and staring coldly, with a cold smile on his lips, and his body just flashed. When the boatman saw this look, he felt something was wrong. When he felt the pain, it turned out that the scholar put his hand on his back. His whole body was numb and he couldn't even scream. He leaned sideways and fell off the boat.
There was a "pop" and water splashed everywhere. The sound could be heard on the deck in front. Someone asked: "What is this sound?"
The captain also heard it and knew that it was someone sent by the helmsman. He pretended to have a red face, had a big tongue, and asked unclearly: "What? What is the sound?"
After a few minutes, he stood up.
The boat moved forward for a while. Pei Ziyun just watched the boatman desperately trying to struggle, but his body was stiff. In the end, his face was begging for mercy, and he sneered in his heart: "Although I can't practice Taoism, this little trick belongs to the category of martial arts." , but it can be made."
No matter how many kinds of water skills you have, there is only one way to die!
After finally sinking in despair for a few minutes, he suddenly realized and shouted: "It's not good, someone has fallen into the water, someone has fallen into the water."
This scream caused thousands of waves, and everyone who was eating and drinking in the room hurriedly came out to see it. The boss of the ship's head was buzzing: "No, how can it be the voice of this scholar?"
"Could it be that Mr. Xu fell into the water, not the scholar?"
The boat owner didn't care about pretending to be drunk and ran towards the side of the boat.
