Chapter 20 The Mountain Trail
A few months have passed, and under the condition of being chased and beaten by Ji Changkong every day, Bei Ran has been crying and shouting all day long, and her martial arts have finally made visible progress.
From the beginning of the sword could not be held, now can hold it to compete with many people, and have the upper hand, the owner and his wife are very pleased to see it.
For this kind of life of getting up earlier than chickens and going to bed later than dogs every day (this is her own metaphor, in fact, there is none), Bei Dye is very resistant, but he can't beat it, and he doesn't dare to scold, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he has to hold back and dare not attack.
When she was tired from practicing swords and books every day and collapsed, she wanted to find a place where no one was there and take a good rest. The locust tree at the entrance of the village is a good place for her to enjoy the shade when she is busy.
The sky was just a little white with fish belly, and a small white flower fluttered on Bei Ran's face under the breeze, and the cold touch with a little dew woke her up suddenly. She took the flower off her face and looked around in confusion to see that she had slept in the tree all night.
Looking at this day, it was still early, and before it was time to get up and study, she changed her posture and planned to squint for a while. But she couldn't sleep anymore with her eyes closed, and after tossing and turning, she finally gave up. Simply straighten up and sit on the tree with your legs hanging.
The sun hasn't risen yet, so it's good to sit here and watch the sunrise.
In addition to being strong in martial arts, knowledgeable, intelligent, and beautiful (she knew that it might not be right to describe a man with this word, but she really couldn't think of a more appropriate word), in Bei Ran's heart, her husband also had a miraculous ability, that is, his damn good sense of sound, he could blow through the sky with a willow leaf in his hand.
Looking at the lush locust leaves in front of her, she reached out and picked one in her hand, and then carefully recalled the posture when Ji Changkong used it to blow music, and after thinking about it, she followed his example and sent the locust leaf to her lips.
After a few efforts, the green leaves in his mouth only made an unpleasant "poof" sound intermittently, and there was no shadow of music at all. She tossed for a long time, but still didn't find a way. I was thinking about how Ji Changkong blew this small leaf into such a beautiful tune, and when I looked up, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a person on the road ahead, walking straight in her direction.
The man was dressed in white, with a slender figure, his jet-black hair tied up with a headband, and a five-colored banner in his hand. When he got closer, Beiran saw his appearance in real.
This man's face is handsome, his aura is extraordinary, and there is a little fairy wind and bones in it, which belongs to the kind of women who will be moved when they see it, and men who will be jealous when they see it. But Bei Ran smacked his lips, even though he was very good-looking, compared to her husband, it was still a big difference.
She saw the man, and the man spotted her. After a while, the man went to the bottom of the tree, looked up and asked her, "Is the girl from this village?" ”
Bei Ran pondered in his heart, this person has facial features, is very handsome, listens to the timbre, is clear and pleasant, and his age must not be very old, so it should be appropriate to call him a son.
After affirming, Fang Cai responded: "Exactly, what is the matter with the son?" ”
The man said happily: "Then the girl must know the owner of the village, can you introduce it to the contemptible person." ”
Kitazme squinted at him, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Seeing her, the man seemed to have doubts in his heart, thinking that she must have regarded himself as a bad person with bad intentions, and said busily:
"That's right, I was traveling all over the world, and when I passed through here, I saw auspicious clouds on the top of the mountain, so I came to Mousse. The deeper you go, the more you find that this place is really good feng shui, the aura is prosperous, and it is a good place for people to live. In the next is not cai, just a little research in this regard, in the past has also helped many families to view feng shui to build a house, if you can get a point or two under the rectification, the future will develop more vigorously. Therefore, I would like to ask the girl to introduce me and help inform her. ”
Bei Ran knew in his heart that he was an idle Taoist who was wandering around. She had seen a lot of people walking around the streets with a cloth banner like this, but it was the first time she had seen such a young person.
They usually say that there are ghosts in this house for a while, and that there are demons in that house for a while, and then under the guise of going to subdue demons and subdue ghosts, they toss in other people's homes for a while.
What gossip Xuantu, bell paper talisman went into battle, reading the heavenly spirit spirit in his mouth, the spirit of heaven and earth, the peach wood sword in his hand and slashed around, and finally threw some things that I don't know what the hell it was into the brazier. Then he said that the demons and monsters in this house had been thrown into this brazier and burned to death.
After the deed, they charged a high amount of money to the owner, and most of those people were convinced of the demons and monsters, so they respected these charlatans a lot, and they were happy to give money, and the people they collected money were naturally even happier.
Beiran has always been quite ashamed of these people, if she met them on the street, she would definitely have her nostrils facing the sky, and she wouldn't even look at them. But at this moment, people have come to her, and it is impossible to ignore it, and usually the owner and wife of the village have taught her to be humble, polite, and not to lose the family motto.
So Bei Ran returned: "Gongzi Lao bothered, borrowing Gongzi's auspicious words, the village has always been peaceful and peaceful, and Ding is prosperous, and this is enough, so there is no need to bother to manipulate these things." Please go back early, the road in this mountain is not easy to walk at night, and it is harmful to stay here. ”
The Taoist looked at her and smiled, thinking in his heart, if these polite words had been placed before, she would not have been able to say it. Now, is it a good reincarnation? Or is someone teaching well? She was born in a family of thieves, and she must have rarely read and lacked vocabulary, so someone must have taught her well. Thinking about it like this, he couldn't wait to go in and meet the person who taught her.
He said, "Girl doesn't have to make up your mind so early, it's not too late to make a decision after you see what I'm really capable of." ”
When he said this, it aroused the curiosity of Bei Dye, and it happened that he was bored at this time, so he might as well see what little tricks he could play. He looked at him with a posture of waiting for a good show, and asked, "For example?" ”
Seeing that she had already listened to her words, the Taoist smiled and said, "For example, the locust tree under the girl is not simple. The locust flower has always only bloomed in four or five months, and the late bloom is at most June, but now it is October day, this locust flower is still so brilliant, it is really because this tree is very tree, there is the blessing of the gods, and it is beneficial to the immortals, so it is undefeated all year round, and can even be used to remove evil spirits and drive away evil spirits in the town. ”
From childhood to adulthood, this tree was used by her to boast about her capital, and at this moment, listening to his high evaluation of this tree, Bei Ran thought very much in his heart: this person is still a little knowledgeable. immediately had a good impression of him, but this was not enough to let him enter the village, so he thought about asking a few more questions to test him.
"Then guess how old I am."
"Eighteen."
"How many children does my dad have?"
"You're alone."
"My sow gave birth last year and how many cubs did she have?"
"Four, three males and one female."
Bei Ran opened his mouth wide in surprise, the two of them had never met, he knew everything, and his answer was not bad at all, it seemed that he really had some ability.
She said again: "Childe's surname? ”
The Taoist replied: "The surname is Ye, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Ye Banxian." ”
Beiran jumped down from the tree and said, "So, Mr. Ye, please come with me." ”
Then she walked in front of her first step to lead the way, so this Ye Banxian followed Bei Dye swaggering into the village.
