Three months passed in a flash.
The refugees gathered outside the city of Yuzhou have long since dispersed. The imperial court recruited them to build river embankments. Although they worked hard, they were able to get a bite to eat. In the spring of next year, they could return to their hometown with the grains distributed by the imperial court.
The north wind blew snowflakes.
The snow was as small as cotton wool blown by a gust of wind, and it melted before it hit the ground.
Chen He simply didn't even bring an oil-paper umbrella. He learned to walk on the street with his sleeves up and his fur collar up, covering half of his face.
People in the market shopping for New Year's goods are crowded, rubbing shoulders, many people even took off their felt hats, and they are sweating profusely with the hawkers. He frowned and left on the spot.
Chen He didn't care about following the crowd, and when he was bumped by an uncle carrying a live chicken, he would take a look at the chicken with interest. The big cock is full of air, and if the mouth is not tied, it can be pecked out with a single blow.
Vitality flourishes, dissipates and decays.
This chicken does not appear to be bought to croak, but to be slaughtered and eaten.
Chen He shrugged, and was crowded into a fish stall again. He squatted next to this and looked at the other with great interest.
Squatting with him were two children in old cotton-padded coats, both with big excited eyes.
The man who sold the fish was busy for a long time and looked at it, hehe, where did he come from, and he didn't dress like he had never eaten fish, so dare he never seen live fish? All his fresh goods were taken away by the servants of the big family. If you fool around, maybe this young generation who is not diligent and does not distinguish between the five grains and the five grains will be foolish enough to buy the remaining fish together with the bucket!
"Look, the best Yellow River carp! Even if you don't eat it every year, it's a good sign to buy it home!"
Nonsense, this fish was not caught by the Yellow River, and it will not survive the afternoon at all.
Chen He patted his sleeves and left as if nothing had happened.
After turning to another street, the turbid atmosphere faded away. Various New Year pictures, gold foil paper, fireworks and firecrackers were stacked together. There were also sugar figures and rice cake sellers. There were children running all over the street, and two or three bumped into each other. On Chen He's feet, he didn't care either.
Going through the world and seeing the spirits of all spirits is a good way to advance to the realm of the Beixuan sect.
Chen He has no interest in pretending to be a beggar to make a living. It's not bad to go shopping, and he came out today with important things.
Brother went out this morning, saying that he wanted to hide his identity and go to the Heluo School's Cultivation Market to buy things.
There are a lot of fish and dragons, and there are many experts, so I won't take him with me, and it may take three days to come back. Before Shi Feng left, he let Chen He play on the street, and secretly asked the puppets to protect him secretly.
Chen He grabbed his senior brother and gave five taels of silver in a daze.
He has been in Yuzhou for so long, and when he goes out for a walk, he only carries a dozen copper coins.
In this year, two taels of silver was enough for a family of three for the first half of the year. Chen He was a little stunned when he suddenly received such a huge sum of money, and then ran out to buy something for his senior brother as a New Year's gift.
Wait until you actually walk down the street—
Looking at the door of the tea house, he shook his head. There will be new tea after the spring of next year, and Yuzhou does not produce tea, so what ordinary people can buy is naturally ordinary.
Calligraphy and painting couplets? Forget it, that handwriting doesn't even look down on me.
Antique store? You don't even need to enter the door!
Chen He was worried as he walked.
The street was bustling, and a Taoist priest holding a tortoise shell rushed forward, just colliding with Chen He who was distracted!
After years of practicing Qi and martial arts, Chen He had enough time to avoid partiality, but he immediately felt the vigorous anger in this little Taoist priest, which was completely different from ordinary people.
Cultivator! !
Chen He immediately stopped, bowed his head and let out a hoot, and the boy who pretended to be weak was bumped to the side.
I thought that this cultivator was in such a hurry that he was either being hunted down or was in a hurry to get on his way, and would not pay attention to mortals at all. Unexpectedly, the Taoist stopped his steps, came to help him, and apologized aloud: "I'm really sorry, Pindao is rushing to collect the demon, life is at stake!"
Chen He's eyelids twitched. It's better not to have this explanation. Ordinary people don't think this guy is a lunatic
Thinking of this, Chen He pretended to be surprised, and pushed the Taoist priest away and jumped to the side: "You, you should see the doctor! The day is so bright and bright, where are the monsters, Zibuyu is so powerful!"
"It's a liar!" A child next to him who was biting a candied haws shouted crisply, "Big brother, my father said that the monks and Taoists who came to the door and said that there was a demon in the house, and said that others had bloody disasters on the walk are all liars!"
"… "
Oh, the prosperity of the world is peaceful, the folk customs are really good!
Chen He was ashamed, secretly preparing to get out of the chaos, although this is a little sorry for the little doll who "speaks righteously", but the Taoist priest of the same age as himself has a peaceful atmosphere, not a magic cultivator, and is not dangerous.
"Misunderstanding! Pindao just accidentally bumped into this son..."
The Taoist priest turned around and saw Chen He, who had not had time to run, his eyes fell on Chen He's side face, and his eyes suddenly became round.
"It's you-"
This shout is so powerful that half the street is quiet!
People looked at the prestige in a daze, what's the matter, is there a creditor in a foreign land
"How could it be you?" The Taoist pointed at Chen He in horror, his eyes seemed to fall off.
Chen He's scalp went numb. In order to avoid being surrounded by people, he immediately stepped on the bamboo pole supporting the shed, turned over and climbed onto the several-zhang-high roof, and shouted casually: "The grievances of the rivers and lakes are the heroes who come with me. "
The Taoist priest didn't even think about it, and went up to the roof to chase after him.
The rabbit rose and fell twice, and disappeared in the wind and snow in the blink of an eye.
There was an uproar in the streets, and there were people applauding—in today's prosperous age, there are a lot of gangsters, literati wear swords, samurai go in and out of wine shops, stories of all kinds of swordsmen and swordsmen are the most popular in teahouses and taverns.
Similarly, pretending to be a martial arts master is the first choice for a sudden fight in the comprehension world: run to a place where no one is there before you start!
Chen He has been in Yuzhou for three months. Every time he goes out and goes shopping after training, he does not just watch the fun. The streets, alleys, alleys, and the city gate market and Yamen Lingling are all drawn by him into a picture.
He activated his spiritual energy, stepped on the tile and ran silently for a while, only to find that the other party was not foolishly chasing after him. He was as familiar with the road as he was, and Chen He frowned.
If it was someone from the restaurant in Yunzhou City, who had met for a long time, but after a long period of time, he could still recognize him when he changed his clothes and half of his face was covered by a thick winter collar, which would be a bit incredible.
- Maybe the wrong person!
Chen He turned his eyes and ran to a dead end, then turned down the eaves, holding his arms and waiting for the other party to appear.
The result was unexpected. The Taoist priest didn't take the opportunity to sneak in, but walked in slowly, full of sarcasm: "It's really destiny to make people, work hard for a lifetime, how does it feel to return to the original point?"
"… "
Chen He glanced at the puppet hidden in the shadow of the eaves without a trace, raised his head and said sincerely to the Taoist priest, "This Taoist priest, did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Chen He, do you think I don't know if you hide the puppet next to you?"
This time, Chen He was really shocked.
His name doesn't matter. After the fire of the Chen family in Yunzhou, there must be people who escaped, but the puppets left by his senior brother are the worst ones in the Jindan stage. Is it a hidden cultivation base? !
What is the purpose
The Taoist sneered: "I thought you were in Yunzhou, and the poor Taoist was so happy to be out of sight and out of mind, but I didn't expect you to come to the door, okay! It seems that you have subdued the fire in the stone and came here to show off?"
Chen He was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Brother Daoist, we have no grudges in the past, but recently we have no grudges, why are you so aggressive?"
"Why are you pretending to be stupid, there will be many places where we have grudges in the future! Haven't you been disliked by the poor all your life?" The Taoist brushed the dust and said disdainfully, "If you have the ability, you don't need a puppet, you can fight first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark wind hit behind him.
The four puppets with the strength of Jindan stage directly brought him down, waiting for Chen He to order him to deal with it.
"Shameless!" The Taoist priest was indignant, he was not bad, just a round face that couldn't lose his childishness, which made people have the urge to hold on to it.
Chen He turned around beside him for two times, and coughed pretendingly: "Brother Dao said just now that he is going to catch a demon, and it is a matter of life, why don't you go to work first?"
The Taoist blushed suddenly, and said embarrassingly, "No one's life is at stake. Pindao is just an unknown disciple of the Heluo faction. If he doesn't catch monsters and sell them for money, wouldn't he die of poverty?"
"Heluo School?" Chen He repeated, the disciples and grandchildren of the old-fashioned eyebrows!
The Taoist priest stared at Chen He with more doubts in his eyes, and suddenly he seemed to remember something.
"No, at this time you haven't been able to grab the mirage beads... You're not, you—" the Taoist suddenly realized, he went straight to the ground, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, Pindao has indeed recognized the wrong person." It turned out that only himself, Chen He was reborn. Not burning Yunzhou City is not a rebirth, but other coincidences.
Chen He said helplessly: "...Daoist, I'm not stupid." Who can lie to this
The Taoist looked complicated.
The problem is - you are not stupid, you are not stupid, this is not normal! !
Who doesn't know that Venerable Mo Dao Liyan was a troubled person before he stole the Mirage Bead, and he couldn't remember what year he had been in. Before comprehension, this Demon Venerable was even more of an idiot, alright, idiot!
The fire in the stone can not cure the brain disease!
"I have a lot of grudges with Daoist brother in the future? Will it not be pleasing to the eye for a lifetime?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, that's what the hexagram said!" The Taoist changed his body and replied calmly, "I met in the downtown area today, and the poor Taoist couldn't hold back and caught up! I thought that Your Excellency was the same as me. I can't wait to fight, I didn't expect your Excellency to not know, it is indeed a fool who acted recklessly!"
"… "
I've only heard of love at first sight, fate is doomed, never heard of hatred at first sight!
Chen He shuddered: "Daoist, you should hurry up and see the doctor!"
The puppet pressed his elbow and mercilessly knocked out the Taoist priest.
***
Shi Feng, who told his younger brother to go to the Cultivation Market to buy things, ran away from the location of the Heluo Sect. Before evening, he was already outside an open mansion on the outskirts of the capital.
In the snowstorm, the red-clothed phantom is both real and illusory.
