Chapter 200 Asking Sir to Drive Out Evil
Guan Jinping bowed his head and bowed his head.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will take away all the capital’s inheritance?”
Zuo Chen teased.
Hearing this, Guan Jinping sighed:
"We have been pursuing the inheritance for so many years, and we definitely don't just want this thing to moldy and rot in the warehouses of the returnees. After all, we hope that the capital's method can be passed down and benefit the people of the entire Liang Dynasty. I can't dispel the method, no one can But you can do it, so I can only place my hope on you."
Zuo Chen nodded, probably knowing what Guan Jinping was thinking.
“Where is the homecoming pavilion you mentioned?”
“It’s in Yuzhou, not far from here.”
“I’m going to look for it next. "Prince Jing." Zuo Chen said: "If you are on the way, I can go to your place first."
"Whatever comes along, indeed comes along."
After the two parties reached an agreement, the two old men also transformed, directly from prisoners to guests.
Magistrate Zhong served tea and poured water back and forth, not daring to say a word of complaint.
After the conversation began, Yan Wangsheng pulled Guan Jinping and showed an apologetic smile to Zuo Chen:
"Sir, the two of us have a little private matter to discuss."
After Zuo Chen nodded, the old man and the old lady hurriedly left the main courtyard and went to a quiet and deserted place in the side courtyard.
After looking around for no one, Yan Wangsheng sighed and said:
“Laoguan, that Taoist priest is very capable, but it would be too fast to take him to the Homecoming Pavilion. "
"Now that you are no longer a returnee, why do you need to tell me this?" Guan Jinping's tone was indifferent, as if talking to an outsider.
Yan Wangsheng was speechless, not knowing how to persuade Guan Jinping.
After holding it in for a long time, I managed to squeeze out one sentence:
"I'm just worried about you. I've heard some rumors about those Taoist priests, and they really seem to have extraordinary abilities. But the more this happens, the less we can let down our guard. Stay now Which immortal in the world does not face some hardships?"
"I believe in him."
"Why?"
"He is very much like the capital master. .”
"...Sigh..."
Seeing Yan Wangsheng sigh, Guan Jinping also softened his tone:
"Old man, there is another reason why I trust him."
< br>“…”
“We are both too old. We are going to die of old age.”
"I know."
"I don't want the legacy of the capital to be cut off in my hands, but I also don't want to find another child to inherit the karma of my life."
"I Understand.”
“The returnees now can’t afford to have too many disciples. Even if they can, how can I be sure that their character is not chaotic?” Guan Jinping sighed:
"Obviously there is such a treasure mountain behind me, but as long as I don't control the desires in my heart, I will fall into madness at the first glance, sitting like this like an old monk. When I was young, I thought I would eventually meet someone who I like. After so many years of practice, I discovered that there are too few such seedlings.
Guan Jinping looked at Yan Wangsheng.
She is no longer young, and her eyes are cloudy.
And now she is the only one left among the returning disciples.
“Old man, returnees don’t rely on rules and regulations to guard their desires. They rely on fear. I am wrapped in fear all day long.
“When I enter the warehouse, I can I feel like there is something staring at me among the books behind me. As long as I open them one day, they will jump out and swallow me completely. ”
Then he turned his head and looked towards the inner courtyard, where Zuo Chen was drinking tea:
"But today I saw hope and someone who can save me from my suffering."< br>
"Old man, I think you should feel it deeper than me."
"I..." Yan Wangsheng's words swirled around in his mouth for several times, and finally they were all chewed and swallowed into his stomach.
To this moment, he still remembers that night in the warehouse twenty years ago.
Countless books lay quietly on the bookshelf, no one touched them, letting the silver moon shed clear light above them.
However, Yan Wangsheng could hear their cries, their shouts, and their screams.
Like a group of children imprisoned in the shadows, they are reaching out to him, repeating:
"Why save me!"
"Get me through. Sea of suffering!”
Like a terrible nightmare.
“I don’t want any child to take this path, and I don’t think any young person can bear this path.
“I also need liberation, and I need a path that is deep enough. Yes, someone with enough skills can get rid of the nightmare that has haunted me for so many years. This Taoist priest is just right.
"I'm too tired, I want to have a good rest."
Guan Jinping finally finished saying this, her figure was a little lonely.
Without further ado, he went back to the main courtyard.
Only Yan Wangsheng hesitated to speak, patting his head.
......"Taoist Master." Zhu Laoba looked at the direction in which Yan Wangsheng and Guan Jinping were leaving: "Do you need me to go over and keep an eye on you?"
"That's right. No need." Zuo Chen shook his head, "Leave some personal space for others. There are some things that everyone knows, but they can't say it directly."
"Hey, these human thoughts are so complicated."
Zuo Chen ignored the complaints, but picked up the fragment of the capital in front of him and started to read through it.
He was very curious about what kind of content was left in this fragment.
"Huh?"
After only flipping through two or three pages, Zuo Chen found that the content in the book was completely different from what he had imagined.
It's not some advanced cultivation technique.
Instead...
A pamphlet explaining how to get rid of insects.
The top of the booklet records eight wonderful ways to repel locusts, setting up an earthen altar to repel locusts, making a paper bird to repel fruit worms, and stewing Taibai soup to use some unique herbs to repel the body. For parasites, each method is extremely detailed and easy to operate, and is even accompanied by diagrams.
Even if this thing is left to an illiterate old rural farmer, he can still carry out insect repellent and pest control according to the various contents of the calligraphy and painting above.
But how can I put it,
It is useful, but it does not look like a legacy from the capital, but rather like the kind of study booklet sold in a cheap bookstore.
After waiting for a while, Guan Jinping came back from the main courtyard. Zuo Chen also called the old woman over and handed her the pamphlet to read.
"Do you think this is a fragment of the capital?"
After taking the book, Guan Jinping seemed to have found a treasure. She carefully held the book in the palm of her hand, for fear that the book would fall. Go to the ground and get dust.
Then he slowly opened it and read the contents inside.
After looking at it for a while, her eyes widened and she started to read back and forth.
After looking at half a stick of incense, Guan Jinping looked at Zuo Chen with a pair of puzzled eyes:
"Taoist Master? Is this the remaining scroll of the capital?"
"I haven't changed the book. The book that unlocked the spell just now is the one you are holding now."
"But this... this pamphlet is obviously sold in every town. It is now known as the basic skills of the Nine Laws of People's Livelihood."
The Nine Laws of People's Livelihood?
Zuo Chen turned his head and glanced at Caiyi. Caiyi had obviously heard of this and explained:
"The seven skills of clothing, food, housing, transportation, food and medicine, and the two other skills are faith and learning. It is a folk method that has emerged in Daliang for a long time. It has been passed down for about thirty or forty years, and it is derived from the belief in the Nine Dharma."
Listen. Caiyi introduced, Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows and thought.
He had seen other fragments of the capital's scrolls before, the one Tang Qi gave to Caiyi. It was clearly the content of the Taoist scriptures, which talked about a practice. There are also some magic tricks that Tang Qi himself recorded, which can indeed be regarded as a magical secret book. If a lucky Jianghu guest touches it and spends some hard work to practice, he can really develop a good skill.
I thought this book would be the same this time, but I didn’t expect that after I opened it, I found these little tricks.
Could it be a prank by later generations?
Or...
Zuo Chen had some guesses.
Guan Jinping flipped through it twice more, and after confirming that there was no code in it, he looked blank at first, and then smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect that this fragment of the scroll would contain these contents. If those charlatans outside find out, I’m afraid some of them will be angry to death on the spot.”
Zhu Laoba thought about it. The group of charlatans outside looked embarrassed and sneered:
"I guess even if you tell the people outside about the contents of this book, they won't believe it. Instead, they will think that I have told the Supreme Being. He kept the secret book secretly and planned to keep it for himself."
Guan Jinping felt that what Zhu Laoba said was very reasonable.
After learning that the book in her hand was not a rare magic spell left behind by the capital, Guan Jinping stopped looking at it and asked Zuo Chen when he wanted to leave for the returnee's small pavilion.
Zuo Chen thought for a moment.
You can leave at any time if you want, but being followed by a large group of charlatans is not an option.
If we leave directly in a hidden house, it would not be safe to leave this group of Jianghu people here. God knows whether these people will become obsessed with the government again.
He called Magistrate Zhong:
"How long will it take for the governor's troops to arrive?"
"It will probably take three or four days. There are many people outside the town now, and the cavalry are stuck outside. They can't get rid of this group of Jianghu tourists. Fight a bloody way out."
In fact, Magistrate Zhong was also afraid of a big riot.
Only two evil people died today, and the mood of the gangsters was relatively stable. But if more people died, these gangsters would not be polite to him.
Thank you for having your brain chopped off by then.
"That's it."
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Chen simply borrowed a small soybean from Caiyi.
Hold the small soybean in your hand, use the technique of scattering beans to form soldiers, and throw it directly outward.
The beans flipped in the air, and a man who looked exactly like Zhu Laoba appeared in the courtyard.
Zhu Laoba was amazed and walked around the bean soldier.
Others who had never seen Zuo Chen's ability were also dumbfounded. How had they ever seen such a method before?
"This bean soldier can last for a week. If you let him sit at the door, you don't have to give him food or drink. The quacks outside the door will fade away on their own."
Listen to Zuo Magistrate Zhong nodded in agreement to Chen's words.
After arranging these, while it was still bright, Zuo Chen walked out of the hidden house directly. Everyone got on the donkey cart and left in front of this group of Jianghu guests. Indeed, no one noticed abnormal.
Master Donkey traveled far away, leaving the hustle and bustle of the wine shop street.
The dirty Jianghu guest stared at the gate of the Yamen, full of calculations.
