Since as a senior fellow student, his words should be like raspberry water. Even if Yun Zhong was unwilling to learn at this moment, Liu Qing took out the old book from his arms, opened a page casually, and gestured to the young man, "Last night you As for the Qiu Lake, there is no need to travel with me today. The town happens to be clean, so I can rest for a while. If I have nothing to do, I will keep this page in my mind. If I want to learn the formation in the future, Otherwise there will be no foundation at all.”
Yun Zhong looked at the strange symbols on the page. Although he didn't understand his senior brother's intention, he still nodded in agreement.
Liu Qing told the shopkeeper that if he couldn't come back at noon, he would bring some food to the young man in the building so that he wouldn't go hungry. Then the scholar went out on his own and went straight to the town.
The long willow trees reach the ground, and the water ripples. Although it is autumn, the autumn atmosphere in the town is called Huangliu Canal. The light eaves of the painted bridge cover a lot, but everything seems quiet and autumn atmosphere. Little thrush. Occasionally, some people in the town saw this foreign scholar with a good face and a tall figure, and they felt quite strange. Even many Huaichun women who had not yet left the court looked a little strange. When the scholar passed by, they felt a little strange. I couldn't bear to close the window lattice quietly, but I was afraid that the window lattice pole would fall downstairs and make the scholar unhappy, so he frowned slightly, quite shy.
But the scholar ignored him and just walked through the long street paved with bluestones with his head down, kicking and tapping without changing his pace.
It's really like taking a trip through a painting of a southeastern water town.
"Here comes another one." Outside the ancestral hall, the old man who had finished drinking the remaining wine looked unhappy, shook his head and sighed, "The weather is obviously beautiful today, but unfortunately there is an evil wind, and a gust of wind blew away the two hard-working masters. Son, this world is really annoying."
Tiezhongtang didn't know the meaning of the old man's words, but he thought he had arrived today, which made the latter feel unhappy and embarrassed.
When he came here today, he specially borrowed a table and two futons from a restaurant in the town. He carried the table and table here with only one hand to avoid suspicion, for fear that the old man would not let him in. Half a step from the ancestral hall. But in the blink of an eye, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, and a scholar appeared out of thin air next to them.
"If your Excellency comes here to drink and eat meat, then please do as you please. There is no need to be reserved. But if you come here to look for other items, please forgive me for my loose tongue. It is better to leave as soon as possible."
The old man didn't show any signs of surprise, and his obedient words seemed to contain a lot of disgust.
The black-faced man saw that the old man was a little unhappy when the scholar he had never met showed up, so he tried to comfort him, not to let this seemingly elegant scholar suffer. Although the latter could sit next to him in a moment, so he must not be an ordinary person, but the man still didn't feel that he could get any benefit from the old man.
Twenty or thirty years later, a miscellaneous fish member of the Boyu Gang became the helmsman, but the old man who guarded the ancestral hall never changed his appearance, and the people in the town never noticed it.
Tiezhongtang also knows a lot about the immortal family, but there are few cases where his appearance has not changed in thirty years, and it is difficult for people around him to notice. Although this old man was outstanding in his fortune-telling skills, his deep and untouched foundation made him dare not even think about it.
But this iron helmsman found that no matter how hard he used his power, his speech was like being clamped by two huge mountain doors. Let alone articulating words, it was difficult to even open his mouth.
"The juniors don't need much. If the seniors still have some surplus, they can borrow some from the next generation, and they will be given back twice as much with the same rarity in the future." The scholar lowered his head and said rather humbly.
The old man pointed to half of the roast goose on the table and said with a sarcastic smile, "There was one goose on the table. I ate more than half of it. If you take more, you might ask me, an old man, to drink northwest food next time." Cold wind?”
"Besides, although I swallowed the half of the roast goose, it was not to satisfy my own hunger. Even the other half of the uneaten goose meat was only entrusted to my care. If you really want it, you can still We have to wait until the rightful owner comes back." The old man was not interested, and without even looking at the scholar, he wrapped the half of the roast goose in oil paper, holding the red rope, stood up and walked towards the ancestral hall, but stopped for no reason. .
Although Qinshui Town has the word "water" in its name, and because the town is surrounded by canals and the roof tiles have flowing eaves, it has the connotation of a southeastern water town. However, if you ask the local people in the town, it is not difficult to find that there is actually rain all year round. It is said to be scarce, but it is not the same as the surrounding one hundred miles.
But when the old man stopped, there were clouds and thunder in the sky.
The thunder was very near.
It was probably coming from the ancestral hall, and it was very deafening.
"The real master is here." The old man shrugged, turned back and smiled helplessly at the scholar.
There are three layers of black clouds in the sky, and rain pours down from the well.
It is said that most of the mysterious abilities of soaring into the clouds and riding on the mist come from the long sky with great momentum, but now the thing that came came out of the well of the ancestral hall, with its body like a dragon, its back covered with oval armor, and its face like a bear or tiger.
No one has ever seen this kind of beast. Even in ancient times, there are no such ferocious and strange water beasts in the strange books and volumes left behind.
Only the front paws poked out of the well mouth, which was as big as a mountain, reaching seventy or eighty feet. It shook its head and tail, throwing out a hazy blue air like the sea.
The turtle-like dragon-like old beast turned into a cloud of mist, and slowly stepped out of the well, with its four claws touching the ground, but it did not cause any vibration. When its large green and black scales opened and closed, it opened its green eyes and glanced in the direction of the scholar. Immediately he began to speak human words.
"You, an outsider, do have good intentions." The alien beast instantly transformed into a middle-aged man with long beard and green hair. All the strange things he had just seen were contained in his body, but his aura was even more frightening. "Don't worry. Stop outside, if you want to discuss matters, the ancestral hall happens to be empty now."
The scholar nodded, but the old man beside him said ruthlessly, "Come in, come in, but this roast goose was given to me by that black boy. If I go in with you like this, don't you want me to put this good goose meat in?" Not entering.”
"I didn't let you in." The middle-aged man stepped through the door of the ancestral hall first and said coldly.
When the scholar and the adult man transformed into the old beast entered the door, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. But then he thought that he had nowhere to go, so he had to go back to the desk and sit down cross-legged, muttering in his mouth and not knowing how to curse. Something.
"That's my territory. Every time I come back, I show off like he's the master. It's really annoying." As he spoke, the old man gently flicked his fingers and knocked out the transparent barrier that was originally surrounding him. Broken, he said to Tiezhongtang, who was still sitting there blankly, "Boy, do you have any more drinks? I'm upset today, so take a few more sips."
Poor and dignified helmsman of the Boyu Gang, he has been silenced by the scholar for no apparent reason, and has been kept in the dark by others using a blinding array. He didn't see any of the strange movements just now. He only saw the scholar and the old man. Didn't see him, leaving him alone to wait there.
But out of sight, turtles, dragons, snakes came out of the ancestral well, towering over the mountains and rivers.
