Pick up the Dragon

As soon as Zhou Huai saw the worm wrapped in the talisman... no, the worm wrapped in the talisman jumped three feet high on the spot, almost poking a hole in the roof of Jiren Hall.

He immediately left a few patients who were not in a hurry, and angrily ran to Peng Zhai Xingshi to question him. He saw Li Yi sitting there with his eyes closed and rested. She made a "stop" gesture to him: "I don't want to hear it."

Zhou Huai's anger was blocked tightly, like a cannon barrel whose hole was plugged, and the barrel exploded directly on the spot.

Li Yi closed his eyes and asked, "By the way, do you have any prescriptions that can replenish blood quickly?"

Zhou Huai gritted his back molars, and squeezed a sneer from between his teeth: "Yes, listen carefully: two taels of cow dung, three dendrobiums of horse urine, four donkey hooves, five sheep eyes, and pig shanks. Wrap it, boil it in boiling water, add a fresh dragon whip, and take it immediately after killing, and you will be guaranteed to drink one Buddha out of the body and two Buddhas back to the west."

Li Yi: "..."

you are vicious.

Zhou Huai quarreled with him unilaterally, and most of his anger subsided.Only then did Li Yi slowly ask him for a prescription for treating insect diseases, and handed it to Peng Yu: "I think that since the insects have flowed into Xianzhou, the surrounding villages and counties will inevitably suffer. You order someone to take this prescription." Make more copies of the prescription, let the caravan travel around the place where the water veins pass, find a suitable reason, and spread the prescription."

He patted Peng Yu's hand: "But remember one thing, don't say that Fangzi came from Xianzhou."

Peng Yu understood, and immediately gave orders.Li Yi said again: "Give me another carriage, and I will start tomorrow."

The sky is going to rain, the mother is going to get married, the Dragon King is going to fly into the sky—let him go.

That night, Peng Yu hurriedly got him a carriage, and Li Yi squinted at it, it was really in line with his status as the Dragon King, and he was about to catch up with the dragon chariot.

There seemed to be eight big characters hanging on the carriage: I am rich, come and rob.

So he tore off a bunch of bits and pieces from the carriage on the spot: "Tear me out of this mess, I'm going to the ghost town, not Shangjing, and I won't marry the emperor's sister."

Peng Yu pushed his paw away with a distressed face: "Don't move, don't move, I'll get you a new one."

A quarter of an hour later, a simple and low-key carriage stopped in front of him, and Peng Yu looked at it as if he were looking at a hairless peacock.Li Yi was reluctantly satisfied, but felt that something was not right - the carriage was still a bit big.

Peng Yu: "Don't pick and choose ancestors, this is the smallest carriage in my family."

Li Wei had no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and saw that he had spread bamboo mats in the carriage, prepared a blanket, put in two big umbrellas stronger than iron crutches, and finally hung a special "Peng Mansion" on the front of the carriage. Bright and blind" oil lamp.

... Is this to see the dead or to visit relatives?

Before he could resist, he was cut off by a boy sent by Zhou Huai to deliver the medicine.After all, the man surnamed Zhou still had a bit of conscience as a subordinate of the Dragon King, so he delivered the belated blood supplement and returned two catties of red dates, which Peng Yu had bought earlier.

Li Yi looked at the woman's blood-enriching prescription as if she was in confinement, and then looked at the two catties of carefully selected red dates, with an inexplicable expression on her face, and immediately drank the medicine while pinching her nose, and then threw the whole bag of red dates on the table. car.

I hope that the waist of the cotton trousers can be tightened this time, and don't tell the story, otherwise I will be laughed at by the tribe for another 3000 years.

Early the next morning, Li Yi saw the carriage parked at the gate of Peng's residence, and Peng Yu patted on the door: "Let's go, ancestor, I'm just waiting for you."

Li Yi looked up at the sky, the sun just poked his head lazily on the eastern horizon.He pondered: I didn't wake up?

He stared at Peng Yu for a while as if he had seen a ghost, and finally choked out a sentence: "I didn't say I want you to go with me."

Peng Yu didn't change his face: "Yes, it's just a coincidence. My aunt is from Chenzhou, and I'm going to visit relatives in Chenzhou. By the way, let's go together."

Li Yi: "..."

There is nothing wrong with it, there is no aunt with the surname Peng, and there is no living person in Chenzhou.

Li Yi rolled his eyes, and Peng Yu said, "Don't worry, I promise not to cause you any trouble."

"What guarantee do you take?"

Peng Yu pushed a person over: "I have guards."

The man was held expressionlessly by Peng Yu's shoulders, and Li Yi twitched his mouth: "You can't even guarantee to recognize men and women, and you promise not to make trouble for me?"

"What?"

"Your eyes should be treated properly. There is no distinction between male and female, and the guards I recruited can't figure out the gender of others."

The guard clasped his hands gratefully, with his right hand above and his left below.

Peng Yu finally jumped away with a "huh", turned his head and shouted bravado: "Hu Lu! Why didn't you tell me she was a woman!"

Leader Hu silently took his blame again: "Master Hui, you didn't ask."

"you……"

Li Yi glanced at him, put up his clothes and got into the car, and when he got in, he realized where Peng Yu's little thought had gone. It was clearly a four-person carriage. He walks.

In the car, besides the items that Peng Yu thought were "must haves", there were two big sacks, one was red dates, the other... He kicked it softly, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a sack Beautifully cut paper money.

Peng Yu also got into the car and sat down opposite him: "Money can make ghosts turn mills. Since they can't accept cash, then burn some paper money for them."

What a novelty, visiting relatives does not bring gifts, but paper money.

Li Yi was too lazy to talk to him, and saw that his guards had automatically acted as coachmen—everyone in the Peng family caravan had a clear division of labor. Generally speaking, there would be a leader who was good at negotiating, such as Hu Lu, and another The thoughtful bookkeeper, and the rest are the guards who are highly skilled and courageous. This Qianyue is the one with the highest martial arts in the "Yichou" caravan.

What a girl, not to mention disguised as a man, and even gave herself a boy name.The name is also very interesting, how come the majestic mountains "submerge"?It's like a real dragon falling into the mortal world, no matter how drowned in the mists of the world, it can't cover up the innate arrogance and arrogance... Cough, he's not talking about himself.

Peng Yu chose Qianyue out of hundreds of miles. One of the reasons is that she has high martial arts skills. The second reason is that she has been to Chenzhou and is familiar with it. She can be regarded as a guide for them.

The carriage slowly drove away from Peng's house, and the butler was crying behind him, crying a bit like "the strong man is gone and never returns".Li Yi looked at the city gate of Xianzhou, which was gradually being left behind, squinted his eyes, squeezed two red dates and asked while eating: "This gate plaque is well written, who wrote it?"

Hearing him ask this, Peng Yu's expression became a bit serious, and he said with some respect: "Mr. Yan Youling."

Li Yi put on a posture of listening attentively: "Oh?"

Yan Youling used to be a teacher in Xianzhou. Because of his eccentric and harsh temper, he set up a school and only recruited three students.At that time, when the dynasty was changing and the capital was moved to the south, Xianzhou was not stable, and there were very few people who were willing to calm down and study.Mr. Yan taught these three students. Perhaps the lectures were too boring. After one year of study, one of the three students left to study business.

The one who ran was Peng Yu's grandfather.

"If it wasn't because he was Mr. Yan's student, our Peng family might not have taken root in Xianzhou at all." Peng Yu said, and took a date.

At that time, Xianzhou was not called Xianzhou, but it was called "Weiyang" when it was the capital.I don't know what kind of deep hatred there is between these two dynasties. The emperor at that time didn't even allow Xianzhou to use the name Weiyang.The Weiyang people at that time, which is now the Xianzhou people, of course quit and launched a rebellion, but the people were no match for the army, and they were quickly suppressed.

Because of this incident, the new imperial court gave Xianzhou a name: Wuzhou.

"Disobedience" is of course not a good word. If this name is really implemented, the people of Xianzhou will become completely rebellious.So Mr. Yan Youling, who was nearly [-] years old, stepped forward and personally inscribed a plaque on the tower, which is "Xianzhou".

Everyone in Weiyang at that time knew the meaning of the name, and they unanimously stood by Yan Youling's side.But what kind of behavior is it to write a plaque on the tower without permission? The imperial court will naturally not allow it, and they will arrest people immediately.Yan Youling drew his sword and killed himself in front of the army, apologizing for his death, blood spattered more than ten feet.At the same time, a vision came down from the sky, and the ground in good condition split a crack in front of his feet, a crack of three feet and three feet wide, isolating all the troops of the imperial court outside the city.

He had his own head cut off, and hung it high on the city tower, hanging under the plaque, staring straight at the outside of the city with his eyes of death.The three-foot-three-foot-wide seam was closed by one foot every day. After 33 days, there was a "bang" sound, and the two pieces of land collided, and Mr. Yan's head fell from the tower—it was the twelfth lunar month of winter. The skin and flesh were dried by the new wind, but they did not rot at all.

After such a move, the imperial court did not dare to touch Xianzhou again, and never managed Xianzhou again, as if there was no such place on the territory.Peng Yu's grandfather was shocked when he heard about this incident, so he returned to Xianzhou alone, and used the business skills he learned abroad to help the Peng family take root, lay a huge foundation, and help the people of Xianzhou to become independent. Form a faction, and settle in this small town without any contention with the world.

And Yan's Academy was also carried forward by him, and it was not until four or fifty years later that it gradually declined.

As for the "vision from heaven" that day, the people of Xianzhou always believed that it was the manifestation of the late emperor, and it was passed down by word of mouth for several generations.As for what the truth looks like, because there is no clear record, it has long been impossible to verify.

The air in the carriage was quiet for a few seconds, Li Yi listened to the other party very seriously, and then sighed softly: "He is a hero."

In fact, he didn't care much about human affairs in the past. At most, there was a rain here and a gust of wind there.They soar high above the nine heavens, occasionally overlooking the world, and every inch of the row upon row of houses is cramped.

As for humans—they can’t even be seen. Human life is too short and their strength is too weak. To them, they are just a grain of sand in the ocean, a mayfly between the sky and the earth, and they can be blown away with just one breath. They are staggering to and fro, and a random cloud can cause them to scream, and a random flood of water can displace tens of thousands of people.

So he has never quite understood the reason for the existence of human beings, even though he knows that the responsibility on his shoulders is to protect the weak.

But now he suddenly had a little understanding.

The dragon is not a herd animal, and the two tigers are not the same, let alone the dragon, the king of all spirits.He doesn't even know who his parents are, and he has been alone since the day he broke his shell. There are rare birds and beasts on Penglai Xiandao, but there are no people.

So he didn't quite understand why all the animals turned into human forms.

Where is the nobility of a person?What do these creatures that are thrown out of the mud have that they don't have?

He looked at the young man in front of him who was drinking water with his head bowed. When he told the story just now, his eyes were so focused that they were almost pious, and he didn't look like a qualified "dandy" at all.

The heart that had been silent for a long time seemed to be gently plucked by some invisible force, just like the qin he often played, something grazed his strings as soon as he touched it.

Perhaps there is something in man that these cold, scaly creatures do not have.The Dragon King lived for more than [-] years, and suddenly felt that he might not know enough.

He turned his head, lifted the curtain and looked out of the car window, the dates in his mouth were too sweet, it was bitter.He casually flicked the date stones out, and the human said, "You just throw it around like this? Do you have a sense of public morality?"

The Dragon King raised his eyebrows, and looked at him with some amusement: "Everything that comes out of my mouth is full of dragon breath. If they don't grow into jujube trees, they will be sorry for me. By then, the thirty-mile jujube forest will start from Xian. The state has always..."

"Yes, yes," Peng Yu interrupted his fantasy mercilessly, "There are still [-] miles of jujube forests. If you want to eat, I will plant them for you for [-] miles around Xianzhou City. At that time, you will transform into your original form. I'll climb a tree and knock on you, and you'll pick it up underneath with your mouth open, and when you're full, the jujubes will be harvested."

He said, as if he had thought of that scene, he laughed first.
