There's A Beauty

The old man didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he was taken aback for a moment, then pulled him into the woods beside the road, pointed to the most luxuriant tree and said, "It's on the top of that tree, young man, be careful point."

Youshu set up a pergola and looked up, and he saw a coarse cloth package hanging on the topmost branch. A group of monkeys squatted among the branches and frolicked. They even grinned at the people under the tree and smashed wild fruits, as if they were demonstration.

"This group of hozens are absolutely lawless! Gathering here all day to do robbery, they are more ruthless than bandits." The old man sighed helplessly.

Youshu didn't comfort him either, she hugged the tree trunk and slowly rubbed against it.Feeling threatened, the monkeys jumped and screamed on the spot. Seeing that he couldn't get scared away, they began to shake the branches in an attempt to make him fall.Youshu's wilderness survival skills were already full, so she was not afraid, and climbed to the highest point in twos and twos, and took off the package.

Seeing that the spoils were taken away, the monkeys opened their mouths wide and neighed sharply. They also rushed to grab Youshu's clothes and pants one after another. Some even jumped on his back and pulled his hair.Youshu looked good when she went up, but now her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked very embarrassed.

But he was neither frightened nor annoyed, and just steadied his hands and feet and slid down slowly.Monkeys are the most vengeful animals. If you ignore them, they will go away after a while.On the contrary, if you try to resist or injure a certain one, they will definitely attack in groups. One will scratch and the other will bite, and soon the whole body will be covered with cuts and bruises, which is miserable.What's more, this is ancient times, and the level of medical treatment is very low. If you accidentally get infected, you will die.

Therefore, Youshu just avoided and did not take the initiative to attack.The monkeys poked him a few times, then tore off his headband and trousers, and ran away with a squeak.When it fell to the ground, Youshu's trousers had slid to the bend of her legs, revealing her homemade boxer shorts.

The old man had never seen such trousers before, so he always stared at them.Youshu didn't feel ashamed or shy, so she handed him the package first, then pulled up her trousers generously and fastened her belt.

The old man quickly thanked him, and finally stuffed the steamed corn bread wrapped in oiled paper into his hand.

If you are on the road, you must destroy the food as soon as you find it, and don't think about saving it for the next meal, because God knows if you have another meal.Following the experience of her previous life, Youshu finished eating the buns in two or three bites, keeping her left hand on her chin to catch the residue that accidentally fell, and poured her head back into her mouth after eating, making sure that nothing was wasted.

The old man kept staring at the young man with scrutiny, and nodded silently when he saw this scene.When the boy cupped his hands and was about to say goodbye, he pretended to stagger and tore apart the package in his hand.

A few silver ingots jingled and rolled down to Youshu's feet, radiating dazzling light under the sunlight. At a glance, there were hundreds of taels at least, enough for poor families to spend decades.Youshu was unmoved, picked up the silver with a very flat expression, handed it back to the old man, and then said goodbye again.To him, food is the most precious thing in the world, gold and silver can't be eaten, so what's the use?

"Okay, okay!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Little friend, don't rush away, listen to the poor Taoist. Although you have dragon energy to protect your body, it is not foolproof."

Youshu was not interested in what he said at first, but she turned her head and looked back when she heard the last sentence, her eyes were full of guard.

The old man quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the poor will not hurt you. As soon as you leave the city gate, the poor will already see that you are someone from the outside world. Although people from the outside world walk in this world, they don't involve you." Cause and effect, it can be said to be blessed by nature, and my little friend has a great chance, and unexpectedly got a wisp of the grand purple qi of Ziwei Emperor Star, which is more invulnerable to evil. However, you should know that although this purple qi can resist ghosts, it is not good for evil spirits. It doesn't work very well. Demons with shallow morals may be afraid of you, but those old demons love dragon energy the most. If you can get a little bit of it for cultivation, it may increase your morals for a hundred years. Besides, my little friend, your Flesh is also a great tonic, and the combination of the two will have a better effect..."

Youshu interrupted him, "So, it's very dangerous for me to go alone now, and I may be eaten by monsters at any time? Are there monsters in this world besides ghosts?"

The old man nodded, "More than you can imagine."

"Then what are you?" Youshu shook her fingers slightly, then shook the dagger hidden in her sleeve into her palm and held it firmly.It never occurred to him that dragon energy could only drive away ghosts, not demons.And for monsters, dragon energy is as precious as his flesh and blood.In other words, he is now a walking tonic, and he may be eaten at any time.

What is wrong with this world?Is it more dangerous than the last days?

Youshu felt that she was unlucky, but the old man smiled heartily, "Don't be afraid, little friend, the poor Taoist is a human being. The poor Taoist cultivates the way of extreme affection and never kills. Since the young friend left the capital, the poor Taoist has been secretly following and observing Seeing that little friend and Pindao have similar temperaments, this can point out a clear path for little friend."

Youshu naturally knew that someone was following her.Thinking of the hidden guards sent by his master, he couldn't help but look around.

The old man waved his hand indifferently, "Poverty Taoist has led away the monitors of my little friend, so there is no need to worry. Although my little friend has a ghost slave, there is no evil spirit on him, so it can be seen that my little friend has never done anything harmful. Xiaoyou is very friendly to people who are vegetarians. He is not only eager to help, but also not greedy for money. His moral character is very noble, and he can't bear to hurt animals. If you are willing, you can go up the mountain with Pindao to learn some spells, so as to defend yourself."

People outside the world are not involved in cause and effect, even if they are full of evil, they will never do bad things, and they don't have to be restrained by the way of heaven.That's why the old man will test the young man first, if the other party's temperament is unstable, he will let him fend for himself, otherwise he will give him a hand.

Youshu is very smart, and quickly figured out the front and back, and the corners of her mouth twitched unavoidably.This old man seems to have a big misunderstanding about him?The ghost slaves who followed him did not kill anyone, but the two ghost boys in front, and the thousand-faced ghost, Concubine Lan, and the Seventh Prince later, had a lot of lives in their hands, and they all belonged to Youshu.He helped strangers not out of kindness, but because of that wowotou.

Of course, if this reason is told, the old man will definitely not believe it, but will think that the young man is modest and polite.

Forget it, let him misunderstand, anyway, he is the one who benefits.Thinking of this, Youshu made a bow and said, "Thank you, old man, for showing me the way. Youshu is here to thank you."

"Your name is Youshu? Well, well, let's go up the mountain on the poor way." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, and the two of them moved into the ox cart in an instant.

Youshu's expression didn't change, but she was secretly taken aback.This person really has two brushes, and he can use the teleportation of a ninth-level space ability user. It seems that what I said before was not fooling me.So he put aside his desire to "eat all over the world" for the time being, and followed the old man to learn Taoism.

The two stopped and stopped until they reached a mountain. When they were about to enter the mountain gate, the old man pointed his fingertips at the water ghost's forehead and gave him a soul-restraining talisman. If he committed any crimes, the talisman would burn him to ashes.

"In the future, whether you want to be reincarnated or change to the ghost way, it's up to you. Go down the mountain, this place is not for you to stay." The old man who changed into a Taoist robe shook his hand.

The water ghost felt the aura of the Holy Spirit around him, so naturally he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly bid farewell to his master.

Since then, Youshu has lived in this unnamed mountain, helping the old man chop firewood, cook, wash clothes every day, and wander around in his spare time.After two months of this, the old man pointed out a room to him and said, "I have sworn to God that I will never accept disciples again in this life, so I can't teach you anything. Everything that is useful to you is there, and you can learn it." How much depends on your talent."

Youshu pushed open the door and saw that it was full of books, piled up everywhere, without even a place to step down.

The old man said again, "I can only keep you for half a year. Now two months have passed, and you have to go down the mountain in four months. You can count as many books as you can read."

You Shu cupped her hands in thanks, and sat at the door and randomly picked out a book to read.Seeing him using the pages of the book as a fan, the old Taoist fanned it and it was over, and then took out another book to continue, he couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that this little friend is really kind-hearted, but he has no talent in learning, so I will send him off when he goes down the mountain some other day Just a few life-saving charms.

Youshu didn't know what the old man was thinking, and was soon immersed in the world of books.There are many kinds of these books, about talismans, formations, Taoism, and detailed records of various ghosts, all of which he has never come into contact with.Already hungry for knowledge, he seemed to open the door to a new world, wishing he could read it all in one night.

After five days of non-stop reading, Youshu finally memorized all the knowledge in her mind, and spent the rest of the time practicing and mastering it.I don't know if it's because of the broken inheritance. There are very few books that record spells, and they are not very powerful, so they are useless to Youshu.So he devoted himself to drawing talismans for several months, and tried to make a few magic tools, but he never tried it on Yaoxie, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

On the last day, the old man was already beating his chest and feet, full of remorse.I thought this was someone with no talent, but I was mistaken!To be able to read all the inheritance within six months and use it freely, even the founder of Kaishan does not have this ability.If I had known today, why would I have made such an oath and missed such a good seed!

Sorry!The old man regretted his bowels, and tried to change his words several times but was blocked by Youshu.Youshu's ideal is to eat all over the world. In order to carry out her ideal, she reluctantly follows the old man to the mountains to learn art.It is absolutely impossible to ask him to leave the Guangyao Mountain Gate now.He was tired of eating wild game on the mountain.

Saying goodbye to the reluctant old man, he walked down the mountain on foot, and when he walked halfway, he saw a cloud of fog layer upon layer, engulfing all the light around him.He groped in the dark for several hours and fell down a few times before he walked out of the mountain gate and came to the side of the road.

The mist came strangely and receded very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was full of sunshine and flowers blooming.Youshu looked around, feeling a little weird, then looked at herself, and couldn't help frowning.He fell so hard just now that his clothes and trousers were torn into several big holes, and his hair was also messed up by the branches. At first glance, he seemed to be a beggar from somewhere.

When I went to the city, I had to quickly find an inn to stay and clean myself up.While thinking to himself, he walked forward along the official road, and just after walking not far away, he saw a group of people galloping fast on horseback.

"Young master, I found you! Come back with us, the master and madam are going crazy! If you don't go back with us, the prefect will send officials to arrest you!" A group of people got off their horses one after another, grabbed some Shu refused to let go.

"I'm not your young master, I'm Youshu." Youshu's eyes widened, feeling quite bewildered.

"That's right, young master, aren't you called Youshu? Don't run away. The prefect has already sent a message. If the master doesn't take the initiative to hand you over, he will go to the top of the table and participate in the master's "bending the law for personal gain." Don’t be afraid, young master, just follow us obediently. The master said that he will definitely write to the old man and ask him to try to save you. Although the old man has retired from office, but his power is still there, it shouldn’t be a problem to keep you safe. .” The person at the head tried to persuade him.

Youshu has not yet figured out the situation, but she has also collected some information from their few words.The person they are looking for is the young master of their family. He should be about the same appearance as himself, the same age, the same name, and he committed a crime by running away from home.

He wanted to explain further, but as soon as he took out the household certificate and road guide to prove his identity, the other party said, "Young master, you ran away from home for six days, and you are much hungry and thin. You have suffered a lot in the mountains, right? Go back with the slave, and the family There is a lot of food waiting for you."

Youshu groped in the mountains for several hours. During this period, she didn't drink a drop of water, didn't eat a grain of rice, and her stomach was already flattened by hunger, so she silently took the household certificate and the road back, and thought to herself without guilt: Well, wait until you are full Just explain it to them.Don't waste this moment.

A group of people sneaked back to Lin'an Mansion and entered a luxury mansion with five entrances. Fang straightened his waist and raised his head.

Youshu was led by two little girls to a small courtyard to wash up, dry her hair and change her clothes. When she walked out from behind the screen, the tables outside were already filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the smell made her index finger move.Youshu checked all the dishes, and after confirming that they were non-toxic, she picked up the bowl and ate it. After a few mouthfuls, a gorgeously dressed woman rushed in from the door, hugged him and cried, "My son, you It can be regarded as coming back! Mother can’t eat or sleep these days, I’m afraid you will suffer outside. Didn’t you just accidentally kill two untouchables? If it’s a big problem, mother will definitely ask your father to help settle it..."

While crying, she shook the young man's shoulders, but the young man was not disturbed at all, still holding the chopsticks tightly, quickly swept the food on the table into his mouth, and would make a few umm ah ah a few times as a response.

Listening to this, Youshu understood that this woman's son was also named Youshu. He fell in love with a beautiful peasant girl before and insisted on taking her as his concubine.The girl has a strong personality, and she didn't want to be a little girl, so she simply refused. "Youshu" clamored to marry her again, but her parents strongly opposed it.

The father of "Youshu" is a local magistrate. He is not a big official, but he has a lot of background. He is the eldest son of the former Xiangguo. So he used his power to find a real job for him.

Perhaps it was because he could get everything without much effort since he was a child, "You Shu"'s father followed suit and indulged his son very much.What's more, he only married his wife and had no concubine. When his wife gave birth to his first son, he was injured at the root and couldn't conceive again. "You Shu" became the only seedling of Zhizhou Prefecture, and became more and more favored to the sky.

He wanted everything since he was a child, but he couldn't marry the girl he liked, so he ran away from home in anger. Unexpectedly, he went to the girl's village, but accidentally ran into the scene of the other party having a private meeting with his lover, so they started fighting.

In the chaos, "Youshu" accidentally punctured the lover's belly. In order to protect the lover, the girl jumped into the river with him in her arms, but was washed away by the water.The girl's mother just came to look for her daughter, and when she saw this scene, she yelled "Killed", and then grabbed "Youshu" and refused to let go, insisting on turning him over to the government.

In the usual way, his parents could easily settle such trivial matters.But unfortunately, the new prefect of Lin'an Prefecture has a rift with the Zhao family, and in order to consolidate power, he wants to replace the few governors below with his confidants.The prefect was worried that he had no excuse to attack, and the "Youshu" murder case broke out, so he immediately issued an official document to arrest this well-known playboy in the local area.

"You Shu" is a coward who is strong on the outside, breaks free from the restraints of the woman and runs away, not daring to enter the city or go home, so he has to go up the mountain.The family members were anxious, and after six days of searching day and night, they finally caught Youshu, who had returned from studying arts, by the side of the mountain road.

A table of dishes was eaten clean, and the woman was almost crying. Youshu put down the bowls and chopsticks, and was about to explain to her, but unexpectedly, a chubby and rich middle-aged man rushed in obliquely and hugged him The neck began to wail again, more mournful than the woman, "My son, why are you so thin? Daddy's heart is bleeding from pain! Daddy has already written to the old man, asking him to come and save you, Even if you don't want this official uniform, Dad will not ask someone to arrest you! This is enough? Do you want to add more? This is not your appetite!"

Youshu's desire to explain was dispelled by this sentence, and she rubbed her stomach and said, "Then add more. Sweet and sour pork, braised pork, braised chicken nuggets, pickled pork with pickled vegetables, another serving of the same, and others random."

"Do you still need to say, these are your favorite foods, and they are indispensable." The woman smiled when she saw that her son had a good appetite.

Even the taste is the same, there are two people who are so similar in the world?If the servants can admit their mistakes, it is not possible for their parents to admit their mistakes.Could it be that this is a scam aimed at oneself?Youshu was vigilant, but there was still plenty to eat, so she slowly tested the couple and dug out a lot of information.

The husband and wife, one surnamed Zhao and the other Wang, both came from famous families.Especially Zhao Zhizhou, whose father was the previous Prime Minister, who had just been in office for less than three years, and was quite prestigious in the court.Although Zhao Zhizhou failed in school, he is proficient in common affairs. He has made a lot of achievements after coming to Lin'an Mansion. After half a year, he will go to Beijing to participate in the evaluation, and he may be able to make further progress.

But at this juncture, his son got into a catastrophe, which made his ten years of hard work in vain.If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely want to hang his son up and beat him right now, but Zhao Zhizhou is a slave, so he couldn't even bear to scold him.

To be honest, if such parents were placed in modern times, they would be 100% a negative teaching material, but Youshu felt very kind.In the last days, not to mention that friendship and love are extremely difficult to obtain, even family ties are withered.Fortunately, his parents didn't abandon him like others did, but they didn't care about his life or death on weekdays, they only sent him to the research institute and let him earn his own future.

When Youshu was bullied and insulted, he wished his parents would come over and hug him tightly.But they didn't, not once, they just stood far away, watching with cold eyes.Youshu knew that they were doing it for her own good, because the chicks protected by the eagles would never be able to withstand the wind and rain outside, and once they went out, they would face a dead end.

But occasionally for a few nights, he would also expect to get a hug and some warmth, so he could not help but become attached to his master, and then inevitably broke up.

Now, Youshu's old problem happened again, and being hugged tightly by the Zhao couple, he suddenly didn't want to explain, and comforted himself, "Forget it, because they are so sad, I will stay for three more days, three more days." Tianhou will definitely explain clearly, and then help them get their son back. If this is a scam, I can also look for clues and find out the mastermind behind it."

Thinking of this, he became more at ease, and actually stayed at Zhao's house.Being led to the bedroom of "Zhao Youshu" by the little maid, he spread out the rice paper and wrote a letter of safety to Mrs. Song, preparing to send it to Beijing tomorrow in a hurry.Before going to sleep, he thought about it, and then forced his mental power into his eyes to check the surrounding environment, and he found a hanged ghost outside the window.

"Find someone for me, and I'll give you a yin-yang vitality talisman." He took out a triangular talisman from his pocket, and shook it at the hanged ghost.The yin-yang vitality talisman contains yin and yang qi, which is a great tonic for ghosts. Taking one piece can equal ten years of cultivation. This ghost should not refuse.

"Can you see me?" The hanged ghost was quite surprised, and looked around to make sure there was no one around.

"I have yin and yang eyes." Youshu pointed to her eyes, and asked again, "Yin and yang energy talisman, do you want it?"

"Bring it to me quickly!" The hanged ghost changed his face in an instant, and rushed towards the house wrapped in a narrow wind and strong energy, and let out a miserable howl when he barely touched the boy's sleeve robe.I saw a mass of purple flames quickly enveloping him, and the kung fu ghost disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a mass of ashes on the ground.

Burning to ashes in less than a breath, this is the power of the dragon spirit?Youshu's eyes widened, and it took a long time before he let out a foul breath.Since that night, it was the first time he had seen such a scene, that is to say, as long as it wasn't a big monster, he could kill it instantly.

Feeling quite pleased in his heart, he continued to look around and finally found a little ghost in the cracks of the bricks.

"Find someone for me, and I'll give you a yin-yang vitality talisman."

"My lord, spare me! The little ones don't want the yin and yang vitality talisman, just tell whoever you want, and the little ones go here!" The little ghost bowed down, tears streaming down his face.

"Look for Zhao Youshu." Youshu threw the talisman over regardless of whether he wanted it or not.

The little ghost thought it was this talisman that belonged to the hanged ghost before he was burned to death, but when he got it in his hand, he realized that it was really a yin-yang vitality talisman. It can be thought of: isn't Zhao Youshu just the lord himself?

There is also a soul-searching talisman hidden in the talisman, so I am not afraid that the other party will not come back after running away.You Shu'an lay on the couch with peace of mind waiting for the news. Feeling bored, she picked up a history book and flipped through it casually, then froze.When he left, it was the first year of Zongsheng in the Ming Dynasty, but now it is the 22nd year of Zhongkang in the Xia Qi Dynasty.The Ming Dynasty became the Great Xia Dynasty, and Emperor Zongsheng became Emperor Zhongkang, and there was an interval of more than [-] years.

That is to say, Youshu has time-traveled again, and she's wearing it.Right now, his thoughts are blank, only one sentence comes to mind involuntarily - there is no time in the mountains, and there are thousands of years in the world.
