I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Li Xiuyuan immediately took two steps back, and at the same time shouted loudly.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the little fresh meat that was about to be obtained suddenly woke up, the woman looked a little surprised.

In the temple, Dong Xiang couldn't help but change her face when she heard Li Xiu Yuan's shout: "My lord, Xiu Yuan..."

"Don't worry, I already knew that there was a goblin hiding nearby, so I asked Xiu Yuan to go out to collect firewood and lure the goblin to show up."

"But Xiu Yuan..."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, first let him suffer a little bit before we talk..."

This woman is a ghost in the mountain, transformed from the mirage in the mountain, between ghost and demon.

How could such a little monster hide from Gu Ming's perception?

It was precisely because the opponent was weak that Gu Ming didn't worry about Li Xiuyuan's safety, at worst he would suffer a little loss.

"Yo, don't you see that little brother has practiced?"

The aura that Li Xiuyuan erupted finally aroused the vigilance of the woman, and she couldn't help but sneered.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, she started to attack with all her strength as soon as she finished drinking.

Her figure instantly turned into a wisp of mist and flew towards Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan shouted loudly: "There is righteousness in the world!"

The power in the body erupted in an all-round way, and a stream of air flowed faintly from the surface of the body, forming an invisible shield.

The woman dodges to Li Xiuyuan's hand, and uses her sharp claws to grab it, but as soon as she touches Li Xiuyuan, an invisible force surges in, causing her to cry out in surprise and back away hastily.

Then, a wisp of cold mist came out of his mouth.

After all, Li Xiuyuan had no fighting experience, so he accidentally inhaled a mouthful of cold mist, and suddenly felt cold all over his body, as if he was in an ice cave.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the woman once again stretched out her sharp claws to dig towards Li Xiuyuan's heart.

"Go away!"

Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and clapped his hands with all his might.

Although he avoided the vital points, his clothes were still scratched, and a few claw marks were left on his body, which began to bleed.

As a result, Li Xiuyuan knew that he couldn't beat the opponent, so he hurried to the temple.

"Want to run?"

The woman snorted, her figure fluttered, and she grabbed it from behind.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a huge palm suddenly appeared in the sky, as if protruding from the void, and grabbed the woman.

Seeing this, the woman turned pale with fright, and sank quickly, trying to escape.

Unexpectedly, the palm seemed to have eyes, and then pressed down, grabbing the woman's void in the palm of his hand.

She didn't even see a human figure, just a phantom palm has such power, the woman was naturally frightened out of her wits, and hurriedly shouted: "Shangxian, spare my life, Shangxian, spare my life."

At this time, Gu Ming's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Teacher, you finally came out..."

Li Xiuyuan walked forward, wiping away his cold sweat.

Dongxiang also came out, walked up to Li Xiuyuan and asked with concern: "Xiuyuan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, a little hurt."

"Shangxian, the little girl knew she was wrong, I implore Shangxian to spare the little girl's life."

"Wrong? If the three of us were just ordinary people, would you let them go if they begged for mercy?"

"Yes, definitely will..."

The woman hurriedly said.

"Hehe, the answer is quite fast, but unfortunately... you think I will believe you? If there is an afterlife, practice hard and don't do evil again."

While speaking, Gu Ming had a thought.

"Ah~"

The woman screamed and turned into a wisp of smoke that slowly dissipated into the night sky.

"Oh, why bother."

Li Xiuyuan was kind by nature, seeing the banshee being destroyed, he couldn't help but sighed a long time.

"Cultivating fate, being a person requires kindness, but kindness does not mean that you can tolerate everything.

For example, if the demon just now let her go because of a moment of pity, in the future, other innocent people might die by her hands.

So, who are those innocent people dying for? "

"This……"

"Remember, don't look at this world with people, ghosts, gods, and demons, there are only good and evil.

As for how to distinguish between true good and true evil, it is up to you to experience, accumulate, comprehend, and think by yourself.

In short, we must maintain our original heart and original intention, belief and obsession..."

With this incident, Gu Ming and Li Xiuyuan explained the truth.

Although Li Xiuyuan may not understand it now, as he grows older, one day he will gradually understand it.

Afterwards, Gu Ming used Xianyuan to help Li Xiuyuan get rid of the evil poison in his body, and then the three of them sat around the fire and started to roast the dog meat.

Perhaps, Ji Gong liked to eat dog meat, and it started with this big black dog...

"It's so fragrant!"

Li Xiuyuan had never eaten dog meat before, and this time he finally tasted it.

After all, dog meat is also known as fragrant meat.

In fact, Gu Ming never ate dog meat before time travelling.

Although there are some for sale, he never eats them.

It's not about dog lovers or the like, the main reason is that unscrupulous businessmen are rampant, and they dare to give you any dog ​​to eat.

The ancients ate dog meat, and they ate purebred native dogs, which were later called pastoral dogs.

However, by the time of Gu Ming, pastoral dogs were already rare, but all kinds of crossbreed dogs were infested.

For example, what people often say about dogs, wolves, German dogs, and poodles... In fact, they are all dogs that can't be more miscellaneous...

There are even merchants selling stray pet dogs, sick dogs, and dead dogs without owners...

This kind of dog meat is disgusting to think about, let alone eat.

So Gu Ming never eats dog meat.

But it's different now. Under the ancient background, they are all authentic native dogs, and they were killed and cared for by themselves, so there is no need to worry at all.

Dongxiang didn't eat a bite.

After all, she is a woman, so I always feel that eating dog meat is cruel...

Fortunately, Gu Ming was prepared and roasted a hare.

Rabbits are so cute and delicious...

After eating the barbecue, the three chatted for a while, and walked into the dilapidated hall together.

Send 888 cash red envelopes, follow the vx public account to see popular masterpieces, and draw 888 cash red envelopes!

Li Xiuyuan looked up and couldn't help but said: "The scale of this temple is not too small, how can it be abandoned if it is abandoned?"

Gu Ming said: "There are many abandoned temples and Taoist temples in the world, and the reasons are various.

Maybe some disaster happened, or maybe it was the bad world, the people were displaced, no one came to offer incense, and the monks in the temple had to leave..."

As soon as the world was mentioned, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning and said: "Teacher, along the way, I have seen many refugees, why do they have to come out to escape?

Survival is even more difficult when you are away from home. Why don’t you stay? If the crops are damaged, why don’t you go fishing, hunting, or digging wild vegetables in the mountains to fill your stomach. "

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Xiu Yuan, your imagination is too simple...Of course, this is also the reason why I brought you out this time to gain insight.

Some refugees were forced to leave their homes because of floods, droughts, etc.

Some, it is because of banditry, war, plague and so on.

As you say about fishing, hunting...not everywhere there is fish, there is prey.Even if there is, how can ordinary people have the ability to hunt?

After all, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and even... you saw it just now, even demons and ghosts appear.

Therefore, it is quite dangerous for ordinary people to enter the deep mountains..."

When Gu Ming talked about these things, Dongxiang seemed to think of her life experience, she couldn't help but be silent, sitting on the ground with her cheeks in her hands, thinking about her thoughts...

The conversation was almost over, and the three of them found a place to meditate and adjust their breath.

Gu Ming can do without self-consciousness at all, but Li Xiuyuan and Dongxiang can't. After midnight, they still need to sleep for a while, otherwise they will not be energetic the next day.

After dawn, a group of people came to the river to wash their faces and brush their teeth...

In ancient times, there were actually toothbrushes, which were not as backward as modern people imagined.

It's just that ordinary people's life is a problem, how can they be in a poor mood?Generally, rich people will pay attention to these.

The initial tooth cleaning tools generally use willow branches.

Soak the willow branches in water, and when you want to use them, gently break them open with your teeth to expose the fibers inside, and then use these fibers to clean your teeth.

That is what the ancients often called "morning chewing tooth wood".

Of course, some people clean their teeth with things like salt.

Later someone invented "toothpaste".

This kind of toothpaste is pure natural, and it is boiled into a paste with Poria cocos and other Chinese medicinal materials to clean the mouth.

If you are not so particular, you can stretch out your fingers to wipe it, and if you are more particular, use a toothbrush.

Toothbrushes generally use animal bones, animal horns, bamboo, wood and other materials to make handles. The top is flat, drilled, and then planted with horsetails and manes. Its shape and function are very close to toothbrushes of later generations.

The toothbrush and toothpaste used by Gu Ming are made by himself. The toothpaste is made of some spiritual herbs. After brushing, it really fills the mouth with fragrance. How can the effect be compared with the toothpaste of later generations?

Of course, for Gu Ming, this is just a habit.

With his current cultivation base, even if he retreats for ten years without taking a bath or brushing his teeth, there will be no peculiar smell.

After all, there are almost no impurities in his body, they are all fairy fruits and elixir.

It's just that when traveling in the world, it is inevitable to eat some meat, wine, etc., which will inevitably produce some impurities.

However, as long as the immortal essence is turned on, the impurities can be completely removed...

Chapter 20 It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework

After washing, the three continued on their way.

At noon, when I came to a small market next to the official road yesterday, many people surrounded the roadside, and some people were pointing and talking.

Li Xiuyuan subconsciously stepped forward to look, frowned, turned his head and said, "Teacher, someone is selling a child."

Upon hearing this, Dongxiang couldn't help but stepped forward.

Sure enough, there was a woman on the side of the road, who at first glance looked like a woman in her 50s or [-]s, with gray hair and tattered clothes, which could hardly cover her body.

Taking a closer look, the age is actually not too old, it is estimated that it is more than 20.

Such an old man in his 20s shows how hard life is.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to sell one's own child.

There was a sign in front of her, the words on it were crooked, and she didn't know if she wrote it herself or asked someone to write it.

The wording is very simple, four words: prostitute, five taels.

Obviously, it was five taels of silver, not five taels of gold.

For rich people, what is five taels of silver?It might cost tens of taels to go to a better brothel to drink flower wine.
