Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 14

After all, Yunli is Mu Zhe's apprentice. After earning money, he felt that the grievances and grudges were just floating clouds, not to mention that the two women just met him by chance, and he was not angry enough to beat him; so he let it go. Those two women who were willing to gamble and admit defeat but were still fighting against each other, just gathered the money on the table and stuffed some in their sleeves. If they couldn't take it away, they gave it to the gamblers who lost miserably. , At any rate, get rid of some grudges for yourself.

Not only can he see through other people's tricks, but he can also play advanced tricks on the basis of broken moves. If someone hadn't told him to stop, those who gambled with him would not be able to figure out how they lost their pants in the next life.

After Yun Li left, several middle-aged men wanted to rush to catch him back, but the casino owner stopped him with his eyes.

Yunli made an inexplicable sum of money, and stayed for one night in Shazhou, which arrived inexplicably.

Early in the morning, I met an inexplicable person.

After Meimei had a good night's sleep, Yun Li pushed open the door and accidentally kicked something soft.Lowering his head, he saw a large living person lying at the door of his room.The big living person was unkempt, sloppy, and dusty, giving people the feeling of being fished out of the mud.The most frightening thing is not the person's striking appearance, but the most frightening thing is that when Yun Li took a closer look, his eyes buried in the exploding hair clumps were wide open.

Yun Li knelt down and poked the man's face, the man smiled and greeted him indecently, proving that he was not dead.

"Brother, are you short of money?"

Yun Li was stunned.

A beggar who infiltrates an inn, and his opening remarks should be "You can give me a bite of food", how could he ask a person who is obviously not short of money in an unfathomable tone if he is short of money.Moreover, there were creases in the corners of his eyes that couldn't be concealed by dirt, and he actually called Yunli "little brother", probably because he had done sneaky things before and was hit on the head with a stick.

Yunli: "No shortage."

"Brother, let me tell you, your money came from a wrong path. It's not a treasure, but a life-threatening charm." The beggar sat up cross-legged, mysteriously speaking.

Yun Li smiled, took out a full coin, and handed it over, "Here you are." The beggar stretched his neck and was about to pick it up, but Yun Li took the coin back and put it away, saying, "Didn't you say this is a reminder?"

The beggar sniffed, not afraid to tell the truth: "People only know that you made the money, but they don't know that you gave it to me. The death talisman only urges your life, not mine."

Yun Li thought, this beggar was hiding in the dark to watch him enter the casino yesterday but was not found. He is a talent, so he couldn't help saying something to him: "How about a 'reminder'?"

The beggar said: "The casino owner is a shrewd and ruthless owner. It's okay for you to earn a little money from him. You, brother, play like you who can empty out other people's property, and you will bring yourself disaster. What did the casino owner do?" Ever? It’s not worth mentioning to him to scratch your own skin.”

"I didn't empty out his belongings. His own people yelled to stop, and I returned a lot of money."

The beggar clicked his tongue and said, "You are an inexperienced young man."

Yun Li said that I am older than your grandfather's grandfather.

The beggar said: "Brother, let me ask you, when the casino owner sends someone to find out your identity and find out that you are not the son of any official, but just a lone traveler, if you want you to be used by him, do you agree or not?" ?”

Yun Li was startled to realize that this person was yesterday's stalker, so he glanced at him, wondering what he was up to, and replied cooperatively: "...I don't agree."

The beggar hit his palm with his fist: "That's right."

"What do you want to say?"

"Brother, the casino owner will definitely come to your door; the money you have on hand will definitely be spent. Why don't you help me go to a place, do me a favor, stay away from Shazhou, stay away from the casino Boss, then earn a lot of money that is safe, secure, and legitimate!"

Yun Li finally understood that this person explained in detail, that he actually took a fancy to something in him and wanted to use it to achieve something.Yun Li thought for a while, firstly, he was not afraid of the so-called casino owners who can skin people, and secondly, he didn't have the passion to make a lot of money in the mortal world, so he used the scabbard to push the beggar who was in the way, "Not interested, excuse me .”

"Hey, hey, little brother, you won't suffer a lot if you cooperate with me, you won't be fooled."

The beggar stretched out his dirty hands to grab Yunli's skirt, but Yunli didn't dodge, but was caught by him, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Let go!"

Yun Li's sound alarmed the waiter who was dozing downstairs, the waiter went upstairs, looked around, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with you, sir?"

Yun Li pointed at the beggar who was hanging on his body: "I don't care how he got in, you just drag him away now."

"Guest officer..." the waiter muttered, "Drag...drag away?"

Yun Li covered his nose and said, "Drag away."

The waiter was speechless for a long time, Yun Li saw the steam in his eyes, thinking that the small waiter was frightened by the heavy work he assigned, and said considerately: "You can call other people to come."

The beggar snickered.

Yun Li lowered his head, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

The waiter mistakenly thought that Yun Li was blaming him for his hesitation, and said in a tearful voice, "Guest...Guest officer, don't scare me, why do you want me to drag you away?"

Yun Li was startled: "You can't see?" When he said this, it was equivalent to admitting that he had seen someone that the waiter couldn't see, and immediately brought the other party to the verge of losing his mind.The waiter shook his head like a rattle, cold sweat prickling his back: "I...I..."

The beggar rolled up his sleeves and shook his arm to Yunli: there was a talisman on it.

Yunli read the runes and understood: the beggar used a talisman to hide himself from the sight of some people, so he could enter the inn openly and sleep in front of Yunli's room without being caught by people coming and going. aware.

Yun Li rubbed his chin, thinking that since the beggar disappeared by himself, it would be much easier for him to deal with it.He said to the waiter in the shop, "Forget it, go and do your work." He just started to imagine the scene of throwing the beggar into the river in his mind, when his thoughts were interrupted by the vibration from the wooden board under his feet.

The innkeeper ran upstairs while calling the waiter to go down.The waiter in the shop lazily wiped his hands wet from cold sweat on his clothes, finally took a look at the unnaturally drooping corner of Yun Li's clothes, and slipped away, rubbing the innkeeper's shoulder.The boss kept his signature smile that wasn't annoying, rubbed his hands together and said, "That kid is new here, he doesn't understand anything, please forgive me for not taking good care of him."

Yun Li didn't pay attention to the waiter at all, after listening to the boss's words, he absent-mindedly made a "nothing" gesture.Immediately, he realized that the boss's tone seemed to have dealt with this kind of thing, so he pushed the beggar's tightly clenched hand and asked, "Can you see this person?"

The boss said: "You can't see it, but it doesn't prevent me from kicking him. Young master, point it out, and I'll help you teach this bastard a lesson."

The beggar frantically mouthed to Yunli: "Don't!"

Yunli didn't point, but asked the boss with great interest: "What is this? Have you seen it before?"

Boss: "The devil knows what he is! He has learned some magic...uh, witchcraft... Taoism by himself? Hey, whatever it is, he has learned some superficial skills by himself and can draw a few symbols." , pretending to be gods and ghosts to cheat food and drink, hide yourself when someone exposes you, and steal things for a living... Last month, he also 'patronized' my shop, hid in the room and took the customer's money bag; he stole In many rooms, the guests said that the staff in my store were not clean, and they even made a fuss at the Shazhou Supervision Station. If he didn’t look at the road when he went out, he would have kowtowed himself in front of the deputy director of the Supervision Station. Throwing the purse out on the threshold, I will be wronged, and I won’t even be able to do business!"

Mentioning this person, the innkeeper became angry, and after scolding him for his crimes, he even uttered a few swear words that hurt his appearance.

According to the teaching of his master Si Ming Jun Muzhe, moral judgment should not be based on one-sided opinions, but Yun Li just wanted to get rid of this person who sounded like a beating, and said, "It is indeed a bad thing", and pointed with his eyes instead of fingers. beggar.The innkeeper understood, picked up the hem of the clothes, and kicked the beggar on the forehead quickly and accurately.

The "stickiness" of the beggar is very good, even if there are red footprints on his face, he can hold Yunli still.

The innkeeper stretched his ankle: "Young master, what's the matter, has he rolled away?"

Yunli: "Nothing."

The boss knocked on the railing on the second floor, and shouted to the handyman below: "Bring a knife...and see if I don't kill you!"

The boss got the knife and wanted to chop it, Yun Li said: "Wait, don't."

The beggar hugged Yunli like a life-saving straw, and exerted enough strength to grab it even if it was broken. His eyes were full of the meaning of "I am so grateful to my little brother for saving my life, I will never forget it".But he never expected that Yunli's next move would be to grab his wrist and tear off the invisibility charm attached to his arm.

Yun Li said, "Can you see it now?"

The boss said in a tone of "sharpening the knife to the pig and sheep": "I can see it. Alright, son, turn around, I will cut off one of his arms first, and see how disgusting he is to you."

In desperation, the beggar bound Yun Li by his arms and legs, and made it up to save his life: "Boss, you don't know, I am the third uncle of this son. I was taken away by traffickers when I was a child. I just found it now...Boss, even though the people in the mansion don't recognize me now, if they figure it out one day and admit me into the ancestral hall, I'm short of arms and legs, won't the old man ask you to settle the score? ?!"

Although the level of the beggar's storytelling is low, it cannot withstand scrutiny, but because it involves the family affairs of officials and guest officials, the boss still withdrew the knife: "Young master... is there such a thing?"

The word "absolutely nothing" was already on the edge of his mouth, and the beggar cried with snot and tears, blocking Yunli's words: "Boss, the young master doesn't recognize me right now, I wish his third uncle who looked like a beggar would be killed by the National People's Congress." Can he admit it? Boss, as the saying goes, people’s hearts are unpredictable. I just said that if one day I am recognized and returned to the ancestral hall..."

The boss was in a dilemma for a while, so he had to make a compromise and gave up the knife to Yunli, which meant that it was up to him to chop it or not, and if there was blood, it had nothing to do with his inn.

Yun Li just wanted to drag the beggar down, even if the boss used a knife to make a real move, he would stop him.The beggar could see that Yun Li was not the kind of person to deal with, and knowing that he would not suffer a bloody disaster today, he became more and more complacent, and began to flesh out his story clearly, including a certain year and a certain place.

After talking dryly, he spread his arms around Yunli's legs on the ground, not forgetting to sell his plan to Yunli: "Nephew, you recognized the third uncle, and the third uncle will lead you to the place I walked by." Playing, what's wrong with it? I think Zhuzhou Xiuzhu in Shuzhou is the most fun. As for how it's fun, Third Uncle is stupid and can't explain it. I want you to experience it yourself..." As he spoke, he stood up supportively and stood in Yunli's ear. Bian whispered: "Make a lot of money."

Shuzhou...

Xiuzhu? !

Yun Li thumped in his heart, and asked a directionless question: "What did you say?"

The beggar scratched his head: "What did I say? What did I say...I said making a lot of money..."

The boss looked at Yunli and then at the beggar, not understanding what they were talking about.

Yunli: "You mean bamboo in Shuzhou?"

Beggar: "Ah? Ah... Ah! That's right, Xiuzhu in Shuzhou."

Yun Li was going to Xiuzhu in Shuzhou to study the living environment of the people in his book, and now there appeared a strange person who wanted to go there to "make a lot of money"... It was a coincidence.He was going there anyway, and it would be nice to have someone lead the way; besides, it would be interesting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the beggar's gourd.

Yun Li straightened his clothes, touched the notebook and the viewing mirror again, and said, "Third Uncle, I'll go with you."

The innkeeper held the knife returned by Yun Li, watched the two of them go downstairs, closed his mouth that could stuff eggs, and said in a low voice, "Guest officer, go slowly."

Hey, I don't understand the mind of this noble young man.

It's okay, it's okay, I didn't kill the third uncle of the official young master.

Beggars do very poorly in the town of Shazhou, and they can compete with rats that everyone shouts and beats.Along the way, he stuck the talisman that had helped him do countless bad things, and only when he walked out of a crowded place did he dare to tear off the talisman and walk side by side with Yunli.

Yun Li squinted at him: "With such a bad reputation, you are still alive, you are amazing."

The beggar said: "Not only in Shazhou, but also in Chongzhou, Haizhou, Huzhou and Shuzhou."

This guy has ruined all the five states of Xia Kingdom... Even if he doesn't have the guts to go to a place like the capital that can't tolerate sand, he will act wildly again.

Yunli: "Do you still dare to go back to Shuzhou?"

Beggar: "Brother, didn't you hear that, Xia Guo is so big, there is no room for me anymore! If I don't turn back, I will become a starving ghost."

"What kind of 'grass of turning back' does Xiuzhu in Shuzhou have?"

"It's a long story..."

Yun Li has seen the beggar's ability to tell long stories in one go, so he hurriedly said, "Short long stories, less nonsense, and no nonsense."

"Brother, I..." the beggar looked at the sky and organized his words, "I am a good wizard who has to wander around the world because of a grievance."

Yun Li inexplicably thought of Mu Zha's praise for the fun of wizards dancing, and put aside the emphatic rhetoric that the beggar emphasized, and asked, "Can you dance?"

It was the same as the reaction when Yun Li asked him "What did you say?", three "ah"s with different tones popped out of the beggar's throat: "What dance?"

Yun Li gestured with a gesture that was not at all vivid: "The kind that piles tree stumps around the fire."

As a "good wizard", the beggar feels that it is necessary to correct the layman's jargon: "What is dancing around the fire and piles of stakes, that is called performing rituals."

"Then will you?"

"Of course, we wizards rely on this ability to make a living."

Yunli: "But why did you become this virtuous?"

Beggar: "How else can I say that I've been wronged and have to wander around the world"?"

"What can you blame?"

"Brother, it sounds so awkward to hear what you say," said the beggar, "Half a year ago, the bamboo repairer invited me to drive away the plague. I followed the procedure and finished the ritual, and went back to rest. After half a month, someone came to see me." He said he wanted to thank me, but he tricked me into the village, where I was beaten and kicked, and my magic weapon was taken away...Without the magic weapon, how can I be a wizard?"

It turned out to be related to the plague spread by the Siming Immortals.

Yunli: "Are they blaming you for not getting rid of the plague?"

The beggar said: "Wizards are not omnipotent. Whether they can survive the plague or not depends on the life of the bamboo cultivator. No matter how powerful a wizard is, there will be times when they can't do anything. Everyone understands this truth."

"Whether you understand the truth or not, and whether you are angry or not are two different things."

The beggar recalled: "I don't think it's because of this... When I was beaten, I heard those people say that it's okay that I haven't learned my skills, but killing someone is unforgivable."

"kill?"

The beggar smiled wryly and said, "Brother, if you ask me who should I ask, why don't I know that I killed someone?"

"..."

"Brother, my reputation is not in vain. If there is any way to go in the future, I will depend on you."

Yun Li almost forgot this: "By the way, what do you expect from me?"

The beggar said: "Xiuzhu was not only hit by the plague, but also by the drought. Now, I heard that some god appeared, and the plague has no signs of spreading, and some sick people have come back after being beaten from the gate of hell. Yes. However, the drought has not been relieved, and there is no water in the fields and rivers. If someone can summon a rain at this time, then he will become a great benefactor of the entire Zhuzhu, the prefect They will all scramble to send him a thank you gift."

Yunli: "Do you think I can ask for rain?"

"I saw with my own eyes, little brother, you talking to Xianjun."

"Ok?"

"When you came out of the cave, I hid aside and watched. The man who talked to you, brother, was surrounded by white light. He must be a capable immortal cultivator if he is not an immortal. It rained heavily when he came, and the rain stopped after he left. Stop it." The beggar's gaze firmly locked Yunli's delicate eyes, "Brother, please invite that person to Xiuzhu for a walk, sit for a while, and call for a rain, maybe you will be able to benefit from that person Well... Well, I can also benefit from your honor, little brother, and straighten my waist in front of the bamboo repairman."

Lei Gong is really not low-key.Even if it was the green light around Yunli's body, it must have been covered by his blinding white light.

Yunli: "Praying for rain is not a problem..."

When the beggar heard this, he was worried about his turning point, so he twisted his toes, and knelt down in front of Yunli, "Brother, I, Nie Qiu, recognize you as my father!"

"..."

Such a chaotic seniority.

Yun Li said, praying for rain is not a problem, the problem is, should I clear your reputation first, or should you tarnish mine first? !
