Chapter 288: The Weight of Life and Death
Meng Xi is a jinshi of the dynasty, although he is not an official, but this is only a matter of time, just wait for the vacancy in the imperial court, he will naturally fill it, once he is an official, at least at the county order level.
In fact, Meng Xi's official position after this is not just a county order, but a prefect.
A person with such a personality is already very noble, after all, a prefect is not a cabbage, it can be seen everywhere.
Such people are very prosperous, and they will be protected by the underworld, and it is difficult for ghosts to harm them.
But after all, Meng Xi is just a young and vigorous scholar, and he has not yet been appointed as an official, and now he has lost his mind after being scolded and humiliated by Li Xiuyuan in a few words, and he wants to fight hard with Li Xiuyuan with a waist knife.
He is a powerless scholar, holding a waist knife weighing more than ten catties, it seems that it is a little difficult to lift it, although his face is red and his ears are red, and his anger is angry, but such a person does not pose any threat to Li Xiuyuan.
"I'm fighting with you. Meng Xi shouted angrily as he raised his knife and slashed at Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and didn't fight back, just let it go, and poured the tiger-swallowing golden spear in his hand towards Meng Xi.
The seventy-two pounds of tiger-swallowing golden spear naturally fell on Meng Xi's shoulder, his shout suddenly stopped, and the whole person fell to the ground with a painful cry, and fell to the ground, he was ashamed and angry, and he wanted to get up, but his arm hurt, and the big gun on his body was indeed very heavy, and he couldn't get up for a while.
"You and I are just quarrelling, but you want to slash me with a knife. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "This is not the style that a scholar should have, a gentleman has words, but he doesn't move his hands, but he didn't expect to come to Your Excellency, but he didn't move his mouth, Li Liangjin scolded me for being a martial artist, I wasn't angry, why did it come to my turn to say a few words to you, but you are like this?"
"Hehe, it seems that you don't like to be insulted, and when you are scolded, you want to draw a knife and kill someone, in this case, why do you insult me? Do not do to others what you do not want to be done, it seems that your title of Jinshi is very famous. ”
After speaking, he looked at Meng Xi, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, with a smile.
Meng Xi's face changed, and he wanted to refute it with his knowledge, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it, just now he was angry in his heart, he couldn't stand Li Xiuyuan's humiliation, and he wanted to kill this person.
The anger in his heart was mixed with anger, and this anger was held in his heart again, and he immediately screamed angrily, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fainted.
"Okay, it's really strong, I didn't say a word from beginning to end, I would rather vomit three liters of blood than bow my head and admit my mistakes, I am really a model for my generation, a pillar of the court, and I have to learn it well." Li Xiuyuan stroked his palms and praised, but he turned over and dismounted, took away the tiger's mouth swallowing golden gun, and then glanced at Li Liangjin.
Li Liangjin's face was gloomy and ugly at the moment.
A jinshi was so angry that Li Xiuyuan vomited blood and fainted.
And this Li Xiuyuan was really very measured, he didn't use force against Meng Xi, but a big gun fell down and smashed on Meng Xi's body.
This is a little admirable compared to Meng Xi pulling out a knife to face each other, even if he wants to make a fuss about this matter, he can't do it.
As for the confrontation in the verbal quarrel, the skills are not as good as others, so there is nothing worth saying.
"Brother Meng Xi. Seeing that Meng Xi was unconscious, several other scholars hurriedly stepped forward and helped the unconscious Jinshi Meng Xi back, and at the same time glanced at Li Xiuyuan angrily and angrily.
It was as if these scholars had a grudge against him for killing his father.
Li Liangjin opened his mouth at this moment: "In addition to knowing some vulgar martial arts, you didn't expect to have the ability to scold people, but this son doesn't want to talk nonsense with your martial artist, today this green mountain is black, I advise you to accept it if you see it, and leave it, otherwise this son will not only make you unable to take the test in this life, but also the identity of Xiucai will be difficult to protect." ”
"If you come to Jinling City one day, my son will have a hundred ways to make you stay in Jinling City, you martial artist must think about it carefully, and the next exam will be held in Jinling City. ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan with a strong look of threat.
The ancestor of the Li family is the founding general, the descendant of the princes, the family is big, the court is above, and there are officials of the Li family in various states and counties, especially in Jinling City, it is easy to get rid of a Xiucai.
Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Fame and fortune are like floating clouds with me, it doesn't matter if you want to use some dirty means to deprive me of my fame, then I don't mind using selfishness to deprive you of decades of life, if you are willing to exchange your life span for me, I don't care." ”
Li Liangjin wants to use the means of officialdom to deal with himself, so Li Xiuyuan will use the means of ghosts and gods to fight back.
"Huh?" Li Liangjin frowned at the moment, a little puzzled.
I don't know what Li Xiuyuan's words mean.
"What does the son-in-law mean by this?" Hu Han was also a little confused.
Qing'e shook her head slightly and was a little puzzled, she didn't spend much time with her husband, and she didn't know a lot of things.
"Deprive me of my longevity, do you think you are a god in the heavens, or a Yama in the underworld? I am the destiny of a prince, which ghost or god dares to break ground on my head. Li Liangjin shouted, he is also often in contact with ghosts and gods, so it is not that he does not believe in this kind of thing.
Li Xiuyuan smiled without saying a word, but took out a black ancient book from his arms.
There are three big characters written on the ancient books: the book of life and death.
As soon as the book was taken out, the temperature around it seemed to be lower, and there was a cold aura that emanated from it, making people shudder.
"What? Hades' book of life and death. Hu Hei was shocked, even after thousands of years of Taoism, he couldn't calm down.
Legend has it that in the hands of Yama in the underworld, the book of life and death, which can determine the life and death of a person and change the life span of a person, actually appeared in the hands of this scholar invited by Hu Han.
How is this possible.
"Book of Life and Death?"
The other spirits in the valley were also stunned, how could they have seen this legendary treasure of the underworld.
"Oh my God, he has this treasure, and who in the world dares to oppose him. Hu Han was also taken aback, feeling that his daughter's husband was becoming more and more difficult.
The ghosts and gods are not close, the Taoism is useless, riding the dragon horse of Zhang Seng Xuan, and also holding the book of life and death of Yama in the underworld.
No matter how you look at it, this is not something that an ordinary scholar should have.
Li Liangjin was also stunned at the moment, he could judge from the faces and exclamations of these spirits that this seemed to be the legendary book of life and death.
"How do you have this?"
"Of course I borrowed it, and I will return it in the future, what? I can borrow it from you, maybe you can see your future destiny." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, and said very boldly that he was willing to lend it to Li Liangjin to read it.
Li Liangjin was moved at the moment, if he could read such a treasure in heaven and earth, he would be able to brag in front of anyone in the future, and it would be very tempting to know his own longevity future.
Immediately, he walked over and wanted to reach out and take the book of life and death and flip through it.
"Li Gongzi stop quickly, this is the book of life and death in the underworld, holding the life and death of living beings in the world, this book can not be read by ghosts and gods who are not profound, if people in the mortal world read it, they will be punished by heaven, even if Li Gongzi, the life of your prince cannot bear the consequences of heaven's punishment." Hu Hei was shocked when he saw this, and hurried over to stop Li Liangjin's move.
In addition to the damnation of reading it, even if it is leaked, it will also be damned.
Even if Li Liangjin can bear the consequences of flipping through the book of life and death, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked out in the future.
This is the same reason as the retribution of a cultivator for revealing the heavenly secrets.
"What? And such a thing. Li Liangjin was also shocked, and hurriedly took his hand back in fright.
"Zi Bu is strange and confused, I don't believe that there is such a thing, what kind of life and death book is just a means he came up with to deceive us, it is not worth believing, Li Xiuyuan, you dare to borrow me to read it? I will definitely expose your deceptive tricks." ”
At this time, a scholar came over angrily, as if he didn't believe Li Xiuyuan's words.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's okay to borrow you to read it, but you have to bear the consequences." ”
"One person does things, one person is responsible, and Hugh has to say more. The scholar stretched out his hand and snatched the book of life and death.
"Okay, backbone. Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't stop it.
The Book of Life and Death had never been read by anyone else, and he wanted to see if the consequences of his master talking about flipping through the Book of Life and Death were true.
Since ancient times, there have been princes who have won the crown.
But who knows, the weight of life and death is even more important.
"It's a scholar who knows the life of the county, and now he's just a showman's identity, and it's too dangerous for him to flip through the book of life and death. Hu Han took a look at it and knew the luck of this scholar.
The scholar immediately opened the book of life and death and flipped through it, but when he looked through it, he saw that there was a blank piece of paper inside, and there was not a word at all.
Immediately, the scholar laughed and said: "Have you seen it, there is nothing in this book, just a blank book, not a word is written, and it is really this trick that Li Xiuyuan used to deceive people......
But the people were shocked, because after the book of life and death was opened, they saw a black light enveloping it, so that they could not see what was written in it.
It seems that only the scholar who flipped through it saw something.
But when this scholar laughed and cracked Li Xiuyuan's trick, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him was getting darker and darker.
It was noon and the sun was abundant, but the sky and earth quickly darkened, and before the blink of an eye, it was already night, and I couldn't see my fingers.
"Hey, it's so dark......"
The scholar was shocked, looked around, but found that the surroundings were dark and terrible, without a trace of light, and could only hear voices coming from nearby.
But at this moment, everyone saw that this scholar's eyes had left a trace of blood, his eyes had turned black, and his pupils had disappeared.
Blind~!
Li Liangjin was worried in his heart, this heavenly curse actually came so quickly, and after looking at the book of life and death, his eyes were already blind.
"You are really hypocritical, you don't say anything strange and confused, but the result is entangled with fox spirits, help them slaughter their fellow clansmen, since the spirits are in front of you, and you still say that you don't believe in ghosts and gods, and insist on looking through my life and death book to expose my so-called lies, it is really a little ridiculous, today you have such retribution, not just by flipping through my life and death book, but that you came here to kill too much, relying on your own life to do nonsense, now the blessing has been exhausted, otherwise why just now you rushed out to read my life and death book, and the others did notIt's okay if you can't see it in the future, go home and recuperate in peace. ”
Li Xiuyuan said calmly, he walked over and took the book of life and death.
Feeling that the book of life and death in his hand was taken away by Li Xiuyuan, coupled with his words, this scholar immediately realized that the situation was not good.
I seem to be blind.
It was not that the sky and the earth were dark, but that he was blind and could not see.
"I, am I really blind?" the scholar's voice trembled.
He was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and if nothing else, he will at least be an official in the future, but now that he is blind, then the road to the imperial examination will end here, and he can really only live for a long time.
The other scholars looked shocked, their mouths moved, and they wanted to speak, but they couldn't say a word.
Is the matter of ghosts and gods really so dangerous?
Is karma really so fast?
