Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 19: Real and trance
Ji Yuan is now thinking about finding a way to protect his own life if he can go down the mountain to ensure his life, and then see if he can cure his eyes, or if he can join some kind of immortal cultivation place.
Of course, he wanted to find out what happened to Lu Shanjun when he first left, and what happened to the fleeting image of the chess piece.
Ji Yuan felt that it was most likely related to the previous Lanke chess game, and it might even be the key to his ability to survive in this world.
The mountain breeze blew by, and after relaxing a little, Ji Yuan felt a little drowsy.
I don’t know whether he didn’t notice it before or whether it was a change after arriving in this world. Ji Yuan suddenly felt that his ability to withstand pressure was actually quite strong.
. . .
The group of people rested by the stream for about fifteen minutes. After recovering some strength and having someone help the four injured people adjust their breathing again, they set off on the road again.
This time, I rushed down the mountain in one breath.
In Narcissus Town, a watchman and two men in rural uniforms were walking through the quiet streets and alleys. One of them was holding a clapper, one was carrying a gong, and the other was carrying a lantern.
"Dong...dong dong dong~"
The sound of bamboo clappers is slow and fast.
"Fourth update~~~"
"Dong...dong dong dong~"
"Fourth update~~~"
……
After walking around for a while, looking at the quiet streets, the three of them tightened their clothes and planned to go back, chatting by the way.
"Yesterday during the day, I heard that several Jianghu people went up the mountain."
"What are you going for?"
"It seems that I took over the county government list and went to Niokui Mountain to kill the big insects!"
"Huh?"
The watchman holding the clapper was a little nervous.
"They dare to enter the mountain at this time? I heard from the old hunters who sell goods that the tigers in this mountain are not just simple tigers, but 80% of them are spirits. Even the old hunters don't dare to stay in the mountain at night."
"Hey, is that exaggerating?"
"I would rather believe it!"
The few people were talking about the topic, and suddenly they felt that the weather had become a lot cooler, and their pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.
While walking to the end of the street and preparing to turn, one of them suddenly saw a group of people approaching in the distance. It was the returning Lu Chengfeng and others.
"There's someone over there!"
When they got closer, the huge white tiger skin made several people feel chills on their foreheads.
. . .
At dawn the next day, the news of the evil tiger in Niu Kui Mountain spread to Shuixian Town, and the Ning'an County government immediately sent police officers to Shuixian Town to check.
This is not the information age of living by fate. It is a big gossip that any rich man takes a concubine. There are actually knights who go into the mountains to kill man-eating tigers, and they may be tiger spirits according to previous rumors. Niu Kuishan is a man-eating tiger, how hot is that?
For a time, people in Ning'an County, a county with simple folk customs, a county seat, 22 villages and a market town at the foot of the mountain, all quickly learned that a few knights had succeeded in killing the tiger on the mountain. Many people even thought about it in a hurry I went to Shuixian Town to watch the excitement, but unfortunately most of my visits were in vain because people had already rushed to Ning'an County.
A white tiger skin with blood was finally given to the Ning'an County government by nine young knights. The Ning'an County magistrate was worthy of being a good official in the people's mouth. He acted upright and handed over the eighty taels of silver reward listed on the list. In addition to several knights, they also took out seventy taels of silver as money to buy the precious white tiger skin.
. . .
The time was the second day after the nine knights returned, and it was also the first day that Hupi arrived at Ning'an County Government.
In the county government hall, a white tiger skin with dried blood but still smelly was placed on an Eight Immortals table.
The tiger's skin peeled off extremely well, with the head, claws, body and tail not missing.
"Ouch...the teeth are all here!!"
"Oh oh oh, look at this tiger's mouth, it's bigger than my head!!"
"How many people have this thing eaten!!"
"Oh my god, it's so scary. I heard that this tiger is about to become a sperm!!"
"That's right, it's a good thing to kill him now, otherwise it's really hard to tell!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...those knights are not only highly skilled in martial arts, they are also ruthless people!"
"Yes, four people were injured, and each one was more serious than the last. It was scary to see! Dr. Tong, the best medical doctor in the county, said that it was a blessing that he was a master of martial arts, otherwise he would have died long ago!"
Some police officers and civil servants gathered around the tiger skin and marveled.
County Magistrate Chen Sheng and County Lieutenant Zhu Yanxu also stood aside with cheerful smiles.
"Hahahahaha, sir, now the evil tiger has been eliminated, which can be regarded as a big worry for our Ning'an County."
"Not bad! I'd like to ask Lieutenant Zhu County to find some good hunters and tan the tiger skin well. I'm going to display it at the Ning'an County Yamen for ten days to reassure the people!"
"Best regards, sir!"
Ning'an County relies on mountains. In addition to basic cultivation, Niokui Mountain, which is rich in products, is also a treasure of Ning'an County. Getting rid of the evil tiger is not a trivial matter. The local gentry even took this opportunity to organize a temple fair.
. . .
The injuries of the four injured people have stabilized.
After the wounds of Yan Fei and Luo Ningshuang were sutured, they applied golden sore medicine, and then applied two pairs of medicines to regulate Qi and blood, combined with Qi and breath regulation, it was considered that the problem was not big.
Zhao Long, who was whipped by the tiger's tail, was mainly injured internally, but he had a good foundation in hard skills, so it was not a serious problem.
It's just that although Du Heng's arm has been bone-set, the muscles and bones inside are actually broken. In the words of Dr. Tong, if he is lucky, he can just lift chopsticks to eat, but it is impossible to lift a knife.
What is Ji Yuan doing during this period?
In addition to repeatedly trying to induce whether you have any special abilities, the biggest thing is to take a shower!
I don’t know how long it’s been since the poor beggar’s original owner took a bath. Anyway, he asked the innkeeper to change three tanks of bath water, and rubbed the old mud off his body for several rounds. After washing, he not only felt a lot lighter, but also even The skin color has turned a bit whiter, it’s really scary!
. . .
On the third day after staying in Yunlai, Ji Yuan finally felt like he could meet people after cleaning up his whole body and changing his clothes.
This morning, Lu Chengfeng was walking around Ning'an County with Ji Yuan, preparing to find a quiet house where Ji Yuan could settle down.
Decide on whether to rent or buy.
Ji Yuan now thinks that he doesn’t know enough about the world, so it’s better not to wander around yet.
As for where the money came from, didn’t the Ning’an County Government have 150 taels of silver? The nine young heroes had to give the money to the people who really deserved it, which was just a matter of fate.
For this kind of thing, Ji Yuan just pushed it off twice and accepted it. It is indeed what he deserves, isn't he?
After understanding that the average person's annual expenses are only a few taels of silver, and buying a private house only costs dozens of taels, Ji Yuan is still more inclined to buy a house in Ning'an County, which is said to have simple folk customs and a good reputation among parents and officials. A residential building.
He is alone, and his requirements are not high. He does not need to come in and out frequently. The place is quiet, has an independent yard, a kitchen, a bedroom and a hut.
After changing out of his beggar's clothes and cleaning him, Ji Yuan looked elegant, somewhat thin and somewhat slender. He wore a turban on his head. Although Ji Yuan couldn't see clearly, he felt that he should look good.
Lu Chengfeng is not a local either, so it is natural for him to accompany Mr. Ji, but finding a house requires a local smuggler, so the two of them are accompanied by a middle-aged man who is a broker.
The county town has been particularly lively in recent days, because many people come here to see the publicized man-eating tiger skin. Because it is still a rare white tiger skin, people are even more attracted to it. With the bonus of the temple fair, even people in the nearest county are attracted to it. There is no shortage of idlers coming.
Jiyuan is not just for housing, but also for the purpose of seeing this place.
At this moment, the streets are also bustling with pedestrians, making the county town as lively as the New Year.
Ji Yuan's current feeling is very novel. Even though his eyesight is bad, his super high recognition of sounds allows him to listen to all kinds of people's discussions, jokes, bargaining, and even some quarrels on the street. .
"Candied haws on a stick~~~Candied haws on a stick~~"
“The finest floral fabrics and the finest silks!!”
"Rouge gouache, selling rouge gouache!!"
"Exquisitely carved pen holders, sandalwood, agarwood, and pear wood are all available. Come and take a look at the Four Treasures of the Study!!"
……
Whether it is a fixed store or a street stall, there are waiters who shout from time to time. After all, the city is very lively these two days
I thought the noise would be unbearable, but Ji Yuan found that he didn't feel irritated at all. Looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com made his mind more alert.
Ji Yuan's eyes have only been opened a little bit. If they are opened for a long time, they will become very sore. But the amazing thing is that even with this kind of vision, he can walk no differently than ordinary people.
While walking, they stopped in front of Wenfang Sibao's store. There were two stalls outside the store with various writing supplies. There was a waiter standing outside the store to greet them.
"My guest, please take a look at this sleeve. It is a famous stationery in Ning'an County. It is made of high-quality yellow flower wood and the craftsmanship of a master. The carvings are very fine. All the dignitaries like it!"
Lu Chengfeng's clothes are more elegant. Although Ji Yuan's clothes are simple, he looks very dignified. He doesn't look like a master who is short of money. As for the broker, he is regarded as a servant.
Ji Yuan could only see a blurry dark yellow when looking at the pen holder. It was useless to open his eyes wider, so he had to squat down and reach out to carefully fumble. After finding the pen holder, he picked it up, turned his face to the side and touched it carefully with his fingers. Feel the undulations of the lines, and try to listen carefully to the sound of your fingerprints rubbing against the pen barrel.
This process made this pen holder vividly present in my mind.
‘This TM craftsmanship is so exquisite! ! ’
This pen holder has landscapes and figures on it, and the pictures and texts are densely packed with lifelike figures. It even reminded him of the text "He Zhou Ji".
Ji Yuan was just curious to see the craftsmanship and technology here, but he was amazed.
The dazzling array of vendors, wandering pedestrians, the hustle and bustle around them, as well as the exquisiteness of these small handicrafts, etc., gave Ji Yuan a rich and real feeling, and he could smell a breath of life. His excellent hearing helped him A glimpse into the joys, sorrows and joys of people from all walks of life.
Ji Yuan slowly opened his sore eyes, feeling a little dazed. Only then did he truly accept the reality that he was really no longer in the original world of time and space.
