Chapter 40: Paint skin

The old man didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he was stunned for a moment, and then he pulled him into the woods by the road, pointed to the most lush tree and said, "It's on the top of that tree, little young man, be careful. point."

There was a shu who built a pergola and looked up, and saw a coarse cloth package hanging on a branch at the top, a group of monkeys squatting among the branches and leaves to play and play, and grinned at the people under the tree, smashing wild fruits, as if they were in the middle of nowhere. Demonstration.

"This group of hozens are lawless! Gathering here all day to do robbery things is more ruthless than mountain bandits." The old man sighed helplessly.

Youshu didn't comfort him, and just hugged the tree trunk and slowly rubbed it up. When the monkeys felt threatened, they jumped and barked in place, and when they couldn't get away, they started shaking the branches, trying to make him fall. Youshu's wild survival skills are already full, and she is not afraid, she climbs to the top in three or two times, and takes off the package.

When the monkeys saw the loot being taken away, they opened their mouths and let out a sharp neigh. They also ran over to pull Shu's clothes and pants one after another, and some even jumped on his back and pulled his hair. You Shu looked good when she went up, but now her hair is messy, her clothes are disheveled, and she looks very embarrassed.

But he was neither afraid nor annoyed, just steadied his hands and feet and slowly slid down. Monkeys are the most vengeful animals. If you ignore them, they will go away after a while. On the contrary, if you try to resist, or if you hurt a certain one, they will definitely attack in a group. If one grabs the other and takes a bite, they will soon be covered in bruises and bruises, and they will be described as miserable. What's more, this is ancient times, and the medical level is very low. If you accidentally get infected, it will be a dead end.

Therefore, You Shu just avoided and did not take the initiative to attack. The monkeys poked him a few times, ripped off his headband and trousers, and squeaked away. When it fell to the ground, You Shu's pants had slipped to the crook of her legs, revealing her homemade boxer shorts.

The old man had never seen such trousers, so he kept staring at it. Youshu didn't feel ashamed or shy, first handed the package to him, then put up his pants generously and fastened his belt.

The old man hurriedly thanked him, and finally stuffed the wowotou wrapped in oil paper into his hand.

If you are on the road, you must quickly destroy the food after you find it, don't think about saving it for the next meal, because God knows if you have another meal. Following the experience of a previous life, there are two or three couples of Shu who have finished eating the wowotou, with the left hand still on the lower jaw, to catch the accidentally dropped residue, and then turn his head up and pour it into his mouth after eating, making sure not to waste any of it.

The old man kept staring at the young man with scrutiny eyes, and nodded silently when he saw this scene. When the boy handed over to leave, he pretended to stumble and tore the package in his hand.

A few silver ingots tumbled down to Youshu's feet, radiating a dazzling light under the sunlight. At first glance, there are hundreds of taels, enough for poor people to spend decades. Youshu was unmoved, picked up the silver with a very flat expression, handed it back to the old man, and then handed farewell again. For him, food is the most precious thing in the world, and gold and silver cannot be eaten, so what's the use

"Okay, okay!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and reached out to stop him, "Don't rush away, little friend, just listen to the poor man. Although you have dragon energy to protect your body, it is not foolproof."

Youshu was not interested in what he said at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she turned her head to look back, her eyes full of alertness.

The old man hurriedly reassured him, "Don't be afraid, Pindao won't hurt the little friend. As soon as the little friend leaves the city gate, Pindao already sees that you are someone from outside the world. Although people from outside the world walk in this world, they don't get involved. Cause and effect, it can be said that we are blessed by nature, and the little friend has a great opportunity to get a ray of the purple qi of Ziwei Emperor Star, which makes all evils more impervious. However, little friends must know that although this purple qi can resist ghosts, it is not effective for evil spirits. It's not very useful. The evil spirits with shallow Taoism may be afraid of you, but the old demons love the dragon energy. If they can get a little bit to practice, they may increase their Taoism for a hundred years. Besides, your little friend Flesh and blood is also a great tonic, and the combination of the two is even better…”

Shu interrupted him, "So, it's very dangerous for me to travel alone now, and I may be eaten by monsters at any time? Are there any monsters in this world besides ghosts?"

The old man nodded, "More than you think."

"Then what are you?" With a slight flick of your fingers, You Shu shook the dagger hidden in his sleeve into his palm and held it firmly. He never imagined that dragon qi could only exorcise ghosts, but not demons. And for monsters, dragon energy, like his flesh and blood, is an extremely precious treasure. That is to say, he is now a walking big tonic pill, which may be eaten at any time.

What's wrong with this world? Is it more dangerous than the end times

Youshu felt that she was unlucky, but the old man smiled heartily, "Don't be afraid, little friend, the poor Dao is a human being. The poor Dao cultivates the Dao of extreme affection and never kills. Since the little friend left the capital, the poor Dao has been secretly following and observing. , seeing that the little friend and the poor have a similar temperament, this will point a clear path for the little friend."

Someone is stalking him, and Shu naturally knows. Thinking of the secret guards sent by the master, he couldn't help but look around.

The old man waved his hand indifferently, "Pindao has led away the person who was monitoring the little friend, so there is no need to worry. Although the little friend has raised a ghost slave, but the ghost slave has no evil spirit, it can be seen that the little friend has never done anything that hurts the heavens and the law. .Xiaoyou is very friendly to people who have been vegetarians all his life. He is not only enthusiastic to help, but also not greedy for money. His character is very noble, and he does not have the heart to hurt animals. If you are willing, you can go up the mountain with Pindao to learn some spells and protect yourself."

If people outside the world do not stick to cause and effect, they will be full of evil, and they will never be constrained by the way of heaven. Therefore, the old man will test the young man first, and if the other party's mind is uncertain, he will let him fend for himself, otherwise, he will be pulled.

Youshu is very smart, and she quickly figured out the front and rear, and the corners of her mouth twitched. This old man seems to have a big misunderstanding of him? The ghost slaves who followed him did not kill anyone, but the two ghost boys in front, the thousand-faced ghost, Lan Concubine, and the Seventh Prince had a lot of human lives in their hands, and they could all be counted on your head. He didn't help strangers out of kindness, but for that wowtou.

Of course, if this reason is said, the old man will definitely not believe it, but he will still think that the young man is modest and polite.

Forget it, let him misunderstand, anyway, it's him who benefits. Thinking of this, You Shu snorted and said, "Thank you, the old man, for showing me the way. You Shu is here to thank you."

"Your name is Youshu? Alright, alright, let's follow the poor road up the mountain." With a flick of his sleeves, the two of them moved into the ox cart in a flash.

Youshu's expression did not change, but she was secretly surprised. This person really has two brushes, and can actually teleport a ninth-level space ability user. It seems that the previous words did not fool me. So he put aside his wish to "eat all over the world" for the time being and followed the old man to learn Taoism.

The two stopped and walked until they reached the top of a mountain. When they were about to enter the mountain gate, the old man pointed his fingertips to the forehead of the water ghost and gave him a soul arresting talisman. If he did evil, the talisman would burn it to ashes.

"In the future, it is up to you to reincarnate or reincarnate as a ghost. Go down the mountain, you can't stay here."

The water ghost felt the aura of the Holy Spirit around him, and naturally did not dare to wait any longer, and quickly said goodbye to the master.

Youshu has lived in this unnamed mountain since then, helping the old man to chop wood, cook, and do laundry every day, and wander around in his spare time. After two months, the old man pointed out a room to him and said, "I have sworn to God that I will never accept another apprentice in this life, so I can't teach you anything. The things that are useful to you are all there, and you can learn it. How much depends on your talent."

You Shu opened the door and saw that it was full of books, piled up everywhere, and there was not even a place to go.

The old man said again, "I can only stay with you for half a year. Now two months have passed, and you have to go down the mountain in four months. You can read as many books as you can."

You Shu bowed his hands and thanked him, sitting at the door and casually pulling out a book to read. The old Taoist saw that he was using the pages of a book as a fan, and it was over with a slap of the fan. Then he took out another book and continued. He couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that this little friend is really kind, but he has no talent in learning. Just a few life savers.

How could you know what the old man was thinking, and soon became immersed in the world of books. There are many kinds of these books, about talismans, about formations, about Taoism, and detailed records of various ghosts, all of which he has never touched before. Already hungry for knowledge, he seems to have opened the door to a new world, wishing he could read it overnight.

After watching it for five days without sleep, Youshu finally remembered all the knowledge in her mind, and the rest of the time was spent practicing and integrating. I don't know if it's because of the broken inheritance. There are very few books that record spells, and their power is not large, so it's useless to Youshu. So he concentrated on drawing talismans for several months, and tried to make a few magic tools, but he had never tried it on demons, and he didn't know how effective it was.

On the last day, the old man was already beating his chest and feeling remorse. I thought this was an untalented person, but I had missed it! If you can read all the inheritances and use them freely within six months, even the founder of the mountain does not have this ability. If I had known today, why did I have to make such an oath in the first place, I forcibly missed such a good seedling!

Sorry! The old man regretted his bowels, and several times he tried to change his mouth but was blocked by You Shu. Youshu's ideal is to eat all over the world. In order to carry out the ideal, she reluctantly follows the old man up the mountain to learn art. It is absolutely impossible to ask him to stay at the Guangyao Mountain Gate now. He was tired of the game on the mountain.

Saying goodbye to the reluctant old man, he hiked down the mountain, and when he was halfway there, he saw a cloud of mist wrapping up in layers, engulfing the surrounding light. He groped for several hours in the dark, fell a few times in succession, and then walked out of the mountain gate and came to the side of the road.

The fog came strangely, and it retreated very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the sun was shining all over the place, and the flowers were blooming. Youshu looked around, feeling a little weird, and then looked at herself again and couldn't help frowning. I fell so hard just now that my clothes and trousers were ripped through a few big holes, and my hair was messed up by the branches. I looked at him and thought it was a beggar from somewhere.

When you go to the city, you have to find an inn to stay in and take care of yourself. While thinking about it, he walked along the official road, and just after walking out, he saw a group of people galloping fast on horses.

"Young master, I found you! Come back with us, the master and madam are insane! If you don't go back with us, the prefect will send officials to arrest you!" Shu won't let go.

"I'm not your young master, I'm Youshu." Youshu's eyes widened, feeling rather inexplicable.

"Yeah, young master, don't you just call you Shu? Don't run away, the prefect has already sent a message, if the master does not take the initiative to hand you over, he will make a name for himself. Don’t be afraid, young master, just go with us first, the master said, he will definitely write to the old man and ask him to try to save you. Although the old man has already gone to work, but Yu Wei is still there, it should not be a problem to keep you safe ." The man at the head persuaded bitterly.

You Shu has not yet figured out the situation, but some information has been collected from their few words. The person they are looking for is the young master of their family, who should be about the same age as them, the same age, the same name, and who has committed a crime and escaped from home.

He wanted to explain further, but just after he took out Hu Yi and Lu Yin who proved his identity, the other party said, "Young master, you have been running away for six days. Everyone is hungry and thin. A lot of food is waiting for you."

You Shu was groping for a few hours in the mountains, during which time there was no drop of water, no grain of rice to eat, and his stomach was already flattened, so he silently took Hu Yi and Lu Yin back, and thought to himself without any guilt: Well, wait until you are full. Explain it to them again. Don't delay this moment.

The group surreptitiously returned to Lin'an Mansion and entered a luxurious mansion with five entrances. They straightened their waists and raised their heads.

You Shu was led by two little girls to a small courtyard to freshen up, dry her hair and change her clothes. When she walked out from behind the screen, the table outside was already filled with all kinds of delicious food, and it smelled terrifying. Youshu checked all kinds of dishes to make sure they were non-toxic, and then took up the bowl and devoured it. As soon as she took a few bites, she saw a gorgeously dressed woman rushing in at the door, hugged him and cried, "My son, you It can be regarded as coming back! Mother can't eat or sleep for a few days, for fear that you will suffer outside. Isn't it just that two untouchables were killed by mistake? If it's a big deal, mother will definitely ask your father to help settle it..."

She shook the boy's shoulders while crying, but the boy was not disturbed at all, still holding the chopsticks tightly, swept the food on the table into his mouth quickly, and taking a few moments, he would also count as a response.

Listening and listening, Youshu understands that this woman's son is also called Youshu. He had seen a beautiful peasant girl before and insisted on taking her as a concubine. The girl has a strong personality and doesn't want to be a child, so she simply refused. "Youshu" clamored to marry her again, but was strongly opposed by her parents.

"Youshu"'s father is a local governor. He is not an official, but his background is not small. He is the eldest son of the former prime minister. He is quite favored at home. He used his power to find a real job for him.

Perhaps because he didn't work hard to get everything since he was a child, "Youshu"'s father followed suit and was very indulgent towards his son. What's more, he only married a wife and had no concubines. When his wife gave birth to his first-born son, he was seriously injured and could not conceive again.

He wanted something since he was a child, but he couldn't marry the girl he liked, so he ran away from home in anger. Unexpectedly, he ran to the girl's village, but accidentally bumped into the scene of the other party's private meeting with his lover, so they fought.

In the chaos, "Youshu" accidentally stabbed the lover's belly. In order to protect the lover, the girl jumped into the river with him in her arms, and was washed away by the water. The girl's mother happened to come to look for her daughter, and when she saw this scene, she shouted "killed", then grabbed "Youshu" and refused to let go, and forced him to be sent to the government.

As usual, his parents could easily settle such trivial matters. But unfortunately, the new prefect of Lin'an Prefecture has a gap with the Zhao family, and in order to consolidate his power, he wants to replace several prefectures under him with his confidants. The prefect Zhengchou had no excuse to attack, and the murder case of "Youshu" broke out, so he immediately issued an official document to arrest the well-known local scoundrel.

"Youshu" is a coward who is strong from the outside and works hard at the same time. He broke free from the restraint of the woman and ran away. He didn't dare to enter the city or go home, so he had to go up the mountain. The family was so anxious that they searched day and night for six days, and finally caught Youshu, who had returned from studying art, by the side of the mountain road.

A table of dishes was eaten cleanly, and the woman was almost crying. You Shu put down the tableware and prepared to explain it to her, but unexpectedly, a chubby and rich middle-aged man rushed in and hounded him. The neck began to snarl again, even more sad than the woman, "My son, why are you so thin? Dad's heart hurts so much! Dad has written to the old man and asked him to come to rescue you, Even if you don’t want this official uniform, Dad won’t ask someone to arrest you! This is enough to eat? Do you want to add more? This is not your appetite!”

Yushu's heart that he wanted to explain was dispelled by this sentence again, and he touched his stomach and said, "Then let's add a little more. Sweet and sour pork loin, braised pork, yellow-braised chicken nuggets, and pork with plum vegetables, one more, the others. random."

"Do you still need to say, these are your favorite foods, and you can't miss them." The woman smiled when she saw that her son's appetite was quite good.

Even the taste is the same, there are two people who are so similar in the world? The next person can admit his mistake, but the parents will not admit his mistake. Could it be that this is a scam against yourself? Yu Shu was alert, but there was not much to eat. He slowly tested the couple and dug up a lot of information.

The husband and wife, one surnamed Zhao and the other Wang, were from famous families. In particular, Zhao Zhizhou, whose father was the last prime minister, had just been in office for less than three years, and was quite prestigious in the court. Although Zhao Zhizhou was not good at studying, he was proficient in common affairs. After coming to Lin'an, he made a lot of achievements. After half a year, he entered Beijing to participate in the evaluation, and he may be able to go further.

But at this juncture, his son got into a catastrophe, and all his ten years of hard work were in vain. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely want to hang his son up and beat him at this moment, but Zhao Zhizhou was a slave, so he couldn't even bear to scold him.

To be honest, such parents, if placed in modern times, would be 100% negative teaching materials, but Yu Shu felt extremely cordial. In the apocalypse, not to mention friendship and love are extremely difficult to obtain, and even family love is withered. His parents are okay, they didn't abandon him like others, but they don't care about his life or death on weekdays, they only send him to the research institute and let him earn his own career.

When Shu was bullied and humiliated, he wished his parents would come over and hold him firmly. But they didn't, not even once, just stood from a distance, watching from the sidelines. Youshu knew that they were doing it for their own good, because the chick under the wing of the eagle would never be able to withstand the wind and rain from the outside world. Once they went out, they would face a dead end.

But on occasional nights, he also expects to get a hug, a little warmth, so he can't help but be attached to his master, and then inevitably break down.

Now, Shu's old problem has reoccurred, and he was hugged tightly by the Zhao family, he suddenly didn't want to explain, and comforted himself, "Forget it, for the sake of them being so sad, I'll stay for three more days. The Queen of Heaven will definitely explain it clearly, and then help them find their son. If this is a scam, I can also look for clues and find out the mastermind behind it."

Thinking of this, he became more and more at ease, and actually stayed at the Zhao family. He was led to the bedroom of "Zhao Youshu" by the little maid. He spread out the rice paper and wrote a letter of safety to the Song family, preparing to send it to Beijing tomorrow. Before going to sleep, he thought for a while, then forced his mental power into his eyes, checked the surrounding environment, and found a hanged ghost outside the window.

"Help me find someone, and I'll give you a Yin-Yang Vitality Talisman." He took out a triangular-shaped talisman from his arms and shook it at the hanged ghost. The Yin-Yang Primordial Qi Talisman contains both yin and yang qi, which is a great tonic for ghosts and monsters. Taking one can be used for ten years of cultivation. This ghost should not refuse.

"You can see me?" The Hanged Ghost was quite surprised and looked left and right to make sure that no one was around.

"I have yin and yang eyes." You Shu pointed to her eyes and asked, "Yin and Yang vitality charm, do you want it?"

"Bring it to me quickly!" The hanged ghost changed his face instantly, wrapped in the yin wind and astral energy and rushed into the house, and he let out a mournful howl when he touched the young man's sleeve robe. I saw a group of purple flames quickly wrapping him, and in the blink of an eye the ghost was gone, leaving only a cloud of ashes on the ground.

It will not burn to ashes in one breath, is this the power of the dragon spirit? You Shu's eyes widened, and Fang Jiufang let out a sigh of relief. Since that night, it was the first time he had seen such a scene, that is to say, as long as it was not a big demon, he could instantly kill it.

Feeling quite happy in his heart, he continued to look around, and finally found a little ghost in the crack of the brick.

"Help me find someone, and I'll give you a Yin-Yang Yuan Qi Talisman."

"Sir, spare your life! The little one doesn't need the yin and yang vitality talisman. Just talk to whoever you want, and the little one will go here!"

"Look for Zhao Youshu." Youshu threw the talisman over regardless of whether he wanted it or not.

The kid thought that the talisman that hung the ghost before he was burned to death was this talisman, but when he got it in his hand, he realized that it was actually a yin and yang vitality talisman. Kankan thought: Isn't Zhao Youshu the adult himself

There is another soul-searching talisman hidden in the talisman, so I am not afraid that the other party will not come back after running away. There was Shu Anan lying on the couch waiting for news, and when she felt bored, she picked up a history book and flipped through it at will, and then froze. When he left, it was the first year of Zongsheng in the Ming Dynasty, but now it is the 22nd year of Zhongkang in the Xia Qi Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty became the Great Xia Dynasty, and Emperor Zongsheng became Emperor Zhongkang, with a gap of more than 600 years.

In other words, You Shu has crossed again, and is wearing it. Right now, his thinking was blank, and only one sentence came to mind involuntarily - there are no years in the mountains, and there are thousands of years in the world.
