"Hey, hey, you see, the official is here!"
"It's really an official job!"
"Look at the handsome official at the front. He looks like a big shot!"
A group of villagers who had run further away but were still watching were chatting away.
Bai Jun walked to the high gate of the Lu family and chuckled: "There is also a good show of bullying by the squire here."
Yang Yuanwai looked at the group of officials who came, all of whom were unfamiliar. The young man at the head also looked aristocratic, so he restrained his arrogance, cupped his hands and saluted: "Sir, these are some common things in our Xiahe Village. We owe debts." It’s only natural to pay back the money.”
Bai Jun's demon power turned around, and the "officer" in front of him sternly scolded: "How dare you! How dare a humble country squire act arrogantly in front of my young master?"
This sharp shout contained the shocking effect of the demonic energy, coupled with the oppressive feeling of the demonic shape, it actually shocked everyone except Yuan Yang away.
Lu Yutang was still in a daze, but his wife, Mrs. Lu, took the opportunity to break away from the restraints of the two servants, knelt down and rushed to Bai Jun, crying miserably: "Young master! Sir! Please save our Lu family! This Yang Yuanwai used his power to bully others and deceived my family's ancestral home, please make the decision for us!"
"You bitch!" Yang Yuanwai was so angry that he was about to step forward and slap her.
Bai Jun swung the wooden fan in his hand in the air and knocked down Yuan Wai Yang with a "bang", then flew upside down and returned to Bai Jun's hand.
He unfolded the wooden fan in his hand, and opened a pair of landscape and ink paintings of ancient willows and ponds. The wooden fan opened, gently swaying and sending the breeze, "How can bullying a little girl be considered aboveboard?"
Yang Yuanwai fell to the ground, clutching his painful waist, and said in shock and anger: "You! You! Where did you come from!"
Bai Jun chuckled lightly and shook his wooden fan, "The Liu family in the capital."
"What? You are actually from the Liu family in Beijing?" Yang Yuanwai screamed in shock.
The Liu family in the capital was one of the eight great aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty. Their disciples were spread across ten states. The current minister of the Ministry of Personnel was Liu Yuanshan of the Liu family, so no official dared to offend the Liu family easily.
He himself was just a country squire. At most he had some blood relationship with the prefect, but he couldn't afford to offend this giant.
Yang Yuanwai endured the pain, stood up with the support of his servants, and said with a forced smile: "That's rude of me."
Bai Jun ignored him, but turned around and looked at the Lu family's ancestral home, wondering: "Lu family? Why does it sound familiar? What are the origins of our ancestors?"
Only then did Lu Yutang react. "Your Majesty, my ancestor has been an official for many generations. He was once a member of the Lu family in a poor family, but his family fortune fell into decline..."
"Xiahe Lu family? So you are Xiahe Lu family!" Bai Jun interrupted him and said with a smile: "Your ancestors were kind to my Liu family. Now that we have met today, we can't just sit back and watch!
Member Yang, right? How much money does the Lu family owe you? "
"This... three hundred taels!" Yang Yuanwai hesitated for a moment. He didn't dare to ask for a high price but told the truth, for fear of angering the other party.
Bai Jun quietly crossed his fingers, and the "official officer" beside him said coldly: "This is a banknote of 300 taels from Tongji Bank. Where is the debt note?" The official officer took out a banknote from his chest and handed it over. Gave it to Yang Yuanwai.
Yang Yuanwai got the banknote, read it carefully to make sure it was correct, took out the IOU written by Lu Yutang's father, and said with a smile on his face: "In that case, I have to thank Mr. Liu. I will resign!"
After that, he left in a hurry with a group of servants.
When Yang Yuanwai left, he whispered to his servants: "Go to the county government office and the county town to inquire about news and see if any big shots are coming to our Qi County."
Bai Jun took the note and tore it into pieces. He glanced around. None of the villagers who were watching dared to look at him and walked away.
At the door of Lu's house, Lu Yutang stood up with difficulty, cupped his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you so much for your kindness! I can't repay you for your kindness. From now on, my wife and I will use all our wealth to repay these three hundred taels of silver." .”
Bai Jun shook his head, "No need, your ancestors were kind to my family, so what does this mere three hundred taels of silver mean?"
Mrs. Lu shed tears and said, "My dear benefactor, you saved our Lu family from a great disaster today. We must repay your great kindness no matter what."
Bai Jun smiled and no longer shied away, "You two are sincere and intelligent. If you support each other and work hard on the family business, the Lu family may not be able to make a comeback!
I give you a wooden fan, which can be regarded as a sign of good fortune. I hope you can achieve success in the future! "
With that said, he closed the paper and wooden fan in his hand and gave it to Lu Yutang.
"let's go."
Bai Jun waved his hand, and several officials followed Bai Jun in two lines and walked out of the village.
Lu Yutang's wife, Mrs. Lu, was clear-headed. She hurriedly shouted out and asked: "May I ask my benefactor's name? Where is his home? You can also ask us to report to the newspaper!"
When Bai Jun heard this, he stopped, and the officials behind him also stopped. He turned around and chuckled: "My surname is Bai, you can call me Mr. Bai. As for my family, I live in Shan there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jun stopped.
"Your surname is Bai?" Lu Yutang was a little confused and asked his wife in a low voice: "Isn't my benefactor from the Liu family in Beijing?"
Mrs. Lu was also puzzled. She raised her head and looked in the direction where her benefactor had left, but within a few breaths, he disappeared, and only the faint mist from the village filled the front.
Lu Yutang was stunned, stretched out his hand and pointed tremblingly forward, "Why is my benefactor missing?"
The wood-paper fan in his hand also fell to the ground and opened just in time. What was painted on the paper was still the scene of an ancient willow hanging over a pond, but there was a white snake several feet long beside the pond!
"Oh!" Mrs. Lu suddenly understood and knelt down in the direction where Bai Jun disappeared, "Thank you Liu Xian! Thank you Liu Xian for your mercy! You saved my Lu family from fire and water. I will never forget your kindness in this life." "
Lu Yutang reacted after hearing this, his eyes were dull, and he said in disbelief: "This...is this really the appearance of Liu Xian?"
Ms. Lu was freed from the suffering and disputes of her family's house being sold, and she also showed her weak side at this moment. She said with tears in her eyes: "My lord, you have forgotten that our ancestors once rescued a white snake that was cultivated into a spirit! Isn't that what we have in our family?" Is there a special entrance to Liuxian Hall? Snake Immortal is respected as Liuxian in our area of hundred miles!
Moreover, the benefactor just now specifically said that his surname is Bai, Bai from White Snake! "
Lu Yutang slapped his head, "Yes! My benefactor said that my family lived on the other side of the mountain. There are still mountains on the other side of the mountain. Isn't that deep in the mountains?
I really encountered the willow fairy appearing, and the willow fairy bless me! I, the Lu family, will always worship Liu Xian from generation to generation and never forget my great kindness and virtue! "
At this time, neither of the two excited people noticed that in the ink painting on the wooden fan that fell to the ground, the white snake suddenly disappeared and turned into a stream of fresh air and merged into Lu Yutang's mind.
Lu Yutang's mind was confused and he fainted.
Outside the village entrance, Bai Jun left slowly with a few official officials. He looked at the "few people" behind him and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work today."
At this time, an old woman happened to pass by carrying a basket. After seeing the battle, she was so frightened that she hurriedly walked away.
Bai Jun said, "Grandma, what is in your basket?"
The old woman shrank in fright, but she did not dare not answer. She could only stop and said cautiously: "This noble man, the basket contains more than a dozen eggs from the old woman's own native chickens. The old woman is old. I can only live on these eggs and a few hens. You are a dirty thing in the countryside, please don’t take offense and stain your clothes."
Bai Jun smiled and said, "That's just right, I'm a little sleepy and hungry. Grandma, can you sell these eggs to me?"
"Ah, this..." the old woman said in surprise: "But these eggs are all raw. If you don't mind, I will take them home and cook them before sending them over."
"Haha, no need." Bai Jun took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and gave it to the old woman, "Sell me this basket as well."
The old woman looked at the gold nugget in her hand and said in shock: "My lord, this doesn't cost that much money! The old woman doesn't have enough money to pay you back!"
Bai Jun took the straw basket and said with a smile: "Grandma always calls me noble when she meets me, so why does it matter if this basket of eggs is more expensive?"
The group of people walked away leisurely, leaving the old woman standing alone in a daze. Why did she feel like she was in a dream? Can a basket of eggs be exchanged for a piece of gold?
The old woman looked up again. At this time, Bai Jun and others had left the village and were walking on the country road. Under the sunlight, there were no shadows of people on the ground, only the shadows of snakes!
The old woman was so frightened that her eyes twitched and she didn't dare to look at it again. She turned around quickly and walked back home without raising her head. She didn't let out a sigh of relief until she got back home without any incident. She took out The gold nugget in the palm of my hand is still there.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw the Willow Fairy statue enshrined in her house. The sun finally came out in the sky that had been gloomy for most of the day. It illuminated the farmyard and the Willow Fairy statue, making it look quite magical. .
The old woman hurriedly offered three sticks of incense to the statue of Liu Xian devoutly, and said with tears: "Thank you so much for your mercy, old woman, I am so lonely that I can meet you to give you enlightenment and give me wealth!"
…
On the other side, Bai Jun walked to the river and saw no one around. With a wave of his sleeves, the nine officials transformed into their original appearance, with nine snakes coiled on the ground.
Bai Yan picked up the basket, gently poured down the eggs in the basket, and said with a smile: "You guys are also tired, eat some raw eggs to fill your stomach.
I remember when I was as old as you, I would secretly climb into trees and steal bird eggs carefully. "
The nine snakes twisted their bodies one after another, opened their mouths and swallowed the eggs raw.
…
An angry shout came from Yuan Yuan's house.
"Which of you stole my banknote?" Yang Yuanwai stood in the atrium, angrily cursing the more than thirty servants kneeling in front of him.
"The three hundred taels of silver notes that I personally put in the middle of my clothes, how could they just disappear out of thin air? Those are the bank notes of Tongji Bank in Beijing! If you can't find them tomorrow, I'll sell them all to you. , sold to Ren Yazi and brothels!"
Everyone was horrified and shouted that they were wronged.
At night, Yuan Yuan held his thirteenth concubine in his arms and fell asleep after working hard.
In the middle of the night, he vaguely felt the greasiness on his body, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Stop making trouble, Xiaocui. Master, I will be exhausted by you."
However, the greasy feeling did not disappear. Instead, it went up to his neck. The slightly cool touch was soft and delicate, which made him a little interested. "Since you are dishonest, Xiaocui, don't blame me!"
After saying that, he opened his eyes. He couldn't see clearly in the dark night. He stretched out his hand to scratch his neck, but he touched a strip that was very smooth and soft, not like a human body.
Yang Yuanwai suddenly regained his consciousness and was about to throw it out, but then the strip-like object suddenly bit his neck. The pain caused Yang Yuanwai to scream and shouted: "Someone is here! Help!"
He threw the object far away, crawled away and disappeared.
The thirteenth aunt was awakened and hurriedly got up and lit the lamp. Servants gradually came outside the door, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I...I...was bitten on the neck by something...hurry, go get a doctor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his head sank and he fainted.
A few days later, people in Qi County spread the news that Yang Yuanwai, who had a very bad reputation, was bitten by a poisonous snake. After being cured, he was left half paralyzed and could only spend the next life in bed!
For a time, everyone clapped their hands and cheered. The common people thought that a bully like Yuan Wai Yang should be punished.
…
In the Valley of the Snake King, Bai Jun coiled up and breathed out the moonlight, and the strands of Taiyin and Shaoyin energy merged into his body, strengthening his demonic power.
It wasn't until the sky turned white that fish belly appeared on the second day, then he stopped practicing and called it a day and went back to the cave to sleep.
I slept until three o'clock in the morning, randomly found some hares to fill my stomach, and then lazily crawled under the sun to bask in the sun, while silently reciting moral scriptures.
As he practiced for a long time, Bai Jun found the Tao Te Ching and the Buddhist scriptures more and more useful.
As far as the practice of transfiguration is concerned, it is a false scenery transformed by the characteristics of demonic power. The stronger and deeper the demonic power is, the more real and flawless the transformed scenery will naturally be.
Bai Jun's Taoist heart has been baptized and influenced by scriptures for hundreds of years. Illusions can deceive his eyes, but not his heart.
His telepathy can always see through the nature of illusions and see the true nature.
Qing Cang has been practicing the illusion technique recently, but illusions cannot deceive him at all.
Furthermore, scriptures and scriptures play a great role in cultivating the state of mind.
There are rumors that there are five immortals in the world, and there are many demons of the five immortals in the Qinan Mountains, but they have not chosen to follow the path of the immortal family.
A large part of it is due to the lack of demonic power, and there is no way to hide and manifest the spirit in front of others. The other part of the people who are capable do not dare to get involved in the incense and karma.
The incense contains the power of belief and mind, which is infinitely wonderful, but it also contains countless greed and desires of human beings. Monsters who are not in a good mood cannot restrain themselves at all, just like Hu Qiniang, even if she is a great monster in disguise, she does not become a fox. Love this idea.
Fox people are naturally kind, charming and affectionate, but their minds are firm and difficult to maintain, and their hearts are uneasy. Once they are seduced into the world of materialistic desires, they will only sink into it, and it is difficult to find the right path.
Bai Yan's body is a snake with an indifferent temperament, and he has the wisdom of his previous life. He has chanted sutras for hundreds of years, upholds his original intention, and protects himself. These incense and desires cannot affect him at all, but will only temper his mind and sharpen his Taoist heart.
