The white-robed man's eyelids jumped when he thought of Madman Xie's crazy boxing skills. Others didn't know the power of Madman Xie's fists, but he knew that he had stolen half a pot of Immortal Drunk from him and was punched twice on the bed. I lay down for half a month before I could barely get off the ground.
Lu Ran looked at the white-robed man named Li Qi. Although he had a beard on his cheeks, he could still see that he had a handsome and handsome appearance. Throwing it into the market street, those newly married young women might not be able to use it. The watery eyes that spoke drowned it out.
Lu Ran said with a mellow voice: "You are still the same."
Li Qiyi became very angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "What? Now that you are at a higher level than me, you start to ride on my head and shit? Who was beaten by me with the bamboo sword in the first place? Yelling? And yelling for my master to beat me?"
Lu Ran smiled and shook his head, "Let's not talk about it anymore, why did you come to my small place in a corner?"
Li Qi looked solemn and said seriously: "The old man asked me to give you a message, don't lose the big for the small."
Lu Ran nodded slightly when he heard the words and said: "Old sir, there is no need to worry. Every time a dog is slaughtered for justice, most of them are scholars who are unfaithful. A pedantic scholar like me will definitely not interfere in worldly affairs."
Li Qi took a breath of air. He was probably the only person in the world who could say that to the old man. He was probably the only one who dared to do so. Even the saints of the Three Religions showed respect to the old man when they saw him, but they still showed the proper etiquette. Yes, Lu Ran was fine, he just pointed at the old man's nose and scolded him.
Lu Ran regained his former calmness and said with a smile: "Since we are here, we might as well rest for a few more days so that we can appreciate the local customs of the town."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Lu Ran flipped his wrist, and a silver-white wine bottle appeared in his hand. He threw it to Li Qi, "This was given to me by Mr. Xie at that time. Putting it in the hands of someone like me who doesn't know how to drink, it would be a waste of natural resources. "
Li Qi was immediately overjoyed when he took the jug. He quickly drank a sip and narrowed his eyes. His majestic and suppressed sword energy was released freely, like a silver waterfall flowing down, the sword energy was overwhelming.
Lu Ran stretched out his hand and patted Li Qi on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "If you continue to leak out your sword energy like this, you will completely destroy my little bamboo forest."
Li Qi came back to his senses in an instant, put away the sword energy that naturally flowed out of his body, laughed and said: "The one who knows me is Lu Ran. It is indeed a fine wine brewed by the hands of Madman Xie."
After saying that, he kicked off his feet and suddenly flew into the clouds.
As for Li Qi's natal magical power, although Lu Ran didn't know what his natal magical power was, he could make a pretty good guess.
The natal magical power is the most important magical power for sword cultivators. Just like the natal flying sword of sword cultivators, it is also an important reason why sword cultivators can become the most powerful force among the Qi Refiners.
Lu Ran sat back on the stone bench and waved his sleeves, and a chessboard appeared in front of him. He picked up a black chess piece from the chess jar and slowly dropped it. The moment he fell, another chess piece similar to Lu Ran's appeared on the opposite side of the chessboard. The scribes look alike, but if you look carefully, you can see that there is a faint shadow around the "Lu Ran". It turns out to be a distraction from Lu Ran, and the "Lu Ran" also twists a white star. The chess fell.
The white chess moves carefully and cautiously; while the black chess moves wide open and close, as if the black dragon is swallowing the sky.
The "Lu Ran" on the opposite side was distracted and was defeated after a short period of time. He put down the chess piece in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that you are better."
After saying that, it turned into a breeze and dispersed between heaven and earth.
After a long time, the scholar in blue shirt sighed.
————
Outside the town, Xia Chengyi, who went hunting in the mountains, returned safely, carrying a heavy basket on his back.
The boy was very happy.
As soon as he entered the town, the young man saw a young man wearing a white robe and a gourd hanging from his waist squatting on the curb, staring at the women passing by on the street with a sly look, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the women's breasts. The bulging scenery in front of me made me swallow a few saliva from time to time, but the man looked handsome. Many newlyweds passing by had never seen such a young and handsome man. The young man passing by clamped his legs in front of him, soft and handsome. Rou timidly stopped, a pair of long autumn eyes that could talk lingered hard on the young man's handsome face, wanting to rub it directly into his chest.
From the corner of his eye, the man in white robe looked at a plump woman in the distance. Her astonishingly curved hips, heavy breasts, and graceful curves, coupled with her wheat skin that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, made the woman There is a wild beauty all over her body.
Xia Chengyi could name many faces in the town eighty or ninety-nine times without mentioning their names, but he could still remember each person's face more or less. At this moment, I saw a man with a strange face. Although he was wondering why there were still outsiders entering the town, he was not relieved.
Li Qi also paid attention to the young man Xia Chengyi who was a few steps away. He stood up and patted the dust on his robe. He held a bamboo sword in his hand and made a pose that he thought was very chic. He asked with a smile in Xia Guo Mandarin: "Brother, is there any restaurant nearby? It’s a place like a shop. I’m new to this place and I’m not familiar with this area. Could you please give me some directions?”
The young man frowned.
When Li Qi saw that the young man was silent, he realized that he had just spoken in official dialect, so he said with a smile in a fluent and fluent small town dialect: "Do you know the restaurant nearby?"
The young man pointed to a high-rise boudoir in the distance, "The restaurant in the town is on Anle Street in the east. If you want to drink, you can go there, but the price of drinks there is relatively expensive, fifty cents per tael."
Li Qi nodded, thanked him and turned around to leave.
Xia Chengyi looked thoughtfully at Li Qi's back as he walked further and further away. Somehow, he felt a familiar and mysterious aura from the man in white robe, which was very similar to the feeling he had felt from Master Li in the blacksmith shop before. .
However, he could feel that the man in white robe had no ill intentions, so he did not delve into how the stranger came to the small town.
Xia Chengyi walked all the way back to the house and saw Xia Yao and Zuo Shu Wenzheng each holding a pair of painted door gods and posting them on the door to replace the old door god Spring Festival couplets, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. The doorman on the left was wearing a green python robe and a gauze hat. He wears a jade belt around his waist and holds a tooth wat in his hand, while the captain on the right wears a red python robe and holds a small lantern.
It is a custom in small towns to post door gods and Spring Festival couplets in the first month of the year, and the door gods posted are also very particular.
The door gods are divided into civil door gods, Wu door gods and boy door gods. Among them, most of them are Wenmen God, which has the meaning of praying for blessings and seeking wealth. The God of Wumen usually puts up posters on every home in the middle court. The pictures posted are mostly the ten sages and seventy-two generals of the Wumen Temple, hoping to bring peace and security.
Small families like Xia Chengyi and others usually post literary door gods on their doors during the Spring Festival. Most of these painted door gods are hand-painted by temple blessings from the Xianghuo Temple. It is said that the painted door gods from the Xianghuo Temple have a hint of incense essence. Among them, the owner can gather a fortune of mountains and rivers.
Entering the house to call people, entering the temple to worship the gods.
Naturally, Xia Chengyi couldn't enjoy this kind of painted door god. He had used the painted door god for many years before, and finally had to replace it after it was really worn out. But today, Zuo Shuwen and Xia Yao actually held a painted door god and posted it on their In front of home.
Xia Chengyi and some of the two monks were confused. When did they become qualified to go to the Incense Temple to ask for a pair of painted door gods?
Seeing that Xia Chengyi was back, Zuo Shuwen turned around and said to Xia Yao with a smile: "Xiao Yaoyao, your brother is back."
Xia Yao, who was originally a little sick and listless, immediately regained her former energy when she saw Xia Chengyi. The little girl's face suddenly brightened up, and a clean and pure smile bloomed.
The little girl jumped up to Xia Chengyi. Xia Chengyi smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, looked up at Zuo Shuwen, and asked with some confusion: "Where did you get these couplets of door gods from?"
After the handsome young man posted the door gods, he took a few steps back, looked at the pair of painted door gods, nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Xia Chengyi, smiled like a spring breeze, "Secret!"
Xia Chengyi rolled his eyes and said, "As long as you don't regret coming here to tear it off in the middle of the night."
I have the impression that this was something that the tall boy Zhong Quan could do. Once, a group of Zhao's children on East Street were wandering on the street and bumped into the tall boy. I don't know who yelled, "Look, you're a stupid big guy who has no parents." here we go again. The boys around him laughed when they heard this. Xia Chengyi looked at Zhong Quan worriedly, worried that the tall boy would have a conflict with the Zhao family. After all, the Zhao family was one of the big families in the town. If poor families like them living on West Street were beaten to death, they would end up with no bones left, a desolate scene.
Gao Da turned his head and grinned at Xia Chengyi, saying, "Let's see what I do." Xia Chengyi shook his head and didn't know what to say.
The tall young man patted Xia Chengyi on the shoulder and said that this matter was nothing. We couldn't bear such a bit of acrimony, so we might as well find a well and jump down to save ourselves the trouble.
Xia Chengyi scratched his head. The truth was this, but he always felt something was strange but couldn't place it.
That night, the tall young man secretly broke into the Zhao family's ancestral hall and stole the gold-lettered plaque given by the late emperor hanging above the ancestral hall. When the ancestor of the Zhao family found out about this, his face turned green with anger. You must know that this plaque It was because the ancestors of the Zhao family had made great contributions to the expansion of territory following the late emperor, and the late emperor personally wrote the reward, which can help the family prosper for a hundred years.
The Longquan Zhao family has experienced dynasty changes, and after several ups and downs, it has gradually declined in the countless Shu kingdoms, and the family fortunes have declined. However, fortunately, the family's century-old fragrance has been continued. It was because of the gold-lettered plaque given by the late emperor. Whenever the ancestors of the Zhao family mentioned this, their faces lit up and they were extremely proud.
In the end, who would have thought that a lifeless thief would steal it, or steal it under Zhao's nose? It was simply too much trouble. So the ancestor of the Zhao family ordered that all the servants and family members of the Zhao family be dispatched to search the whole town to find the audacious thief.
