Chapter 177 The Sixth Layer of White Bones

The people of Majiaji cannot hear the voice of Admiral Dongchang with their own ears, but they can hear his story.

There were so many people killed in the capital, but they couldn't reach Majiaji, so the impression was almost nonexistent.But Majiaji's parents, Guan Zhou Ping'an, "stumbled and fell into the water", and more than 100 heads were found under the entrance of Majiaji Town, right in front of them.

Every day, I looked at the ferocious wolf-like looks of the guards in the town near the county government office. As soon as I got closer, there would be shouts and curses. If they didn't retreat, the steel sword would be unsheathed. This was definitely not the case. Scare them, because someone saw the drunken ruffian get into trouble and get his head chopped off with a knife.

"The law and order in Majiaji has improved a lot, and there is no one to complain." Wang Ji stepped into the classroom and sat down on his seat.Facing the empty book case, it is a bit boring and bitter.

Yuan Ping, the accountant and good friend of the county government, understood the meaning of Wang Ji's words, and comforted him, "It's not because of Zhao Chong, it's all because of Dongchang's power.

You don't have to think too much, when Dongchang is gone, it's still unknown whether the Majiaji's surname is Zhao or Wangdu. "

"I guess his surname is Zhao. Zhao Chong can kneel fast and bark like a dog. I can't compare to him." Wang Ji's words were full of contempt and contempt, but the envy and hatred in his tone couldn't be concealed. living.

Yuan Ping smiled and said nothing more.

. . . . . .

In the lobby, Xu Ruyi stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at the plaque above her head that read "Heaven and Earth Righteousness", thinking about something on her mind.

Mrs. Xu proposed the gameplay of the game last night, and today is the first day.He got up before the rooster crowed. To be more precise, he basically didn't sleep much last night.

After washing her face with cold water, Xu Ruyi walked around the county government office, then came to the lobby, and stood there until now.

"Grandfather, father-in-law, you call me." Zhao Chong, the former Dian Shi and now the "agent" county magistrate, walked in tremblingly and knelt on the ground.

Hearing the voice behind him, Xu Ruyi said "hmm" without looking back: "Don't be too nervous, it's a good thing. The documents from the Ministry of Personnel have come down, and your official uniform, bronze seal and other corresponding items have also been sent. come over."

Having said this, Xu Ruyi reached out and picked up a small bundle from the case, turned around and threw it in front of Zhao Chong: "Are you happy?"

"Thank you for your cultivation, father-in-law. I will definitely take the next official position..."

"There's no need to say more about these flattery." Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "Our family called you here, and I have a small question to ask you."

"Grandpa, please ask me, the next official knows everything."

"Hey." Xu Ruyi's eyes were complicated and difficult to understand: "Our family heard that you have a son, who is fifteen this year, and his name is Zhao Jixiang, right?"

"This..." Hearing that Xu Ruyi asked about his son, Zhao Chong felt a "thump" in his heart.

"Your son's name is Zhao Jixiang, and our family's name is Xu Ruyi. It's a bit of fate. Our family intends to let him enter Dongchang and take him with him as a long-term follower. Would you like it?"

"Elder-in-law." Zhao Chong hesitated for a long time, and asked anxiously: "Let the dog come to serve you, the lower officials are naturally happy, but I don't know if the dog wants... also..."

Zhao Chong "wanted" for a long time, but he still couldn't find a suitable word to express his meaning.

Different from the county magistrate Wang Ji's Juren background, he "bought" the seat of Canon History by spending money to clear up the relationship. He knows a few words, but in terms of cultural talents, he is not even as good as a child.

But Xu Ruyi certainly understood what he was going to say, nodded and smiled: "Yes, I have to suffer that knife too."

In a word, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, hitting Zhao Chong's Tianling Parkway.

Zhao Chong is nearly 30 years old, married for more than [-] years, and gave birth to seven sons, but all of them died before they were adults. Now there is only one son under his knees. He is really afraid of melting in his mouth on weekdays. Baby no.If this is done as a eunuch. . .

"Eunuch!" Zhao Chong cried, and his head hit the ground with a "bang", and he immediately saw blood: "Eunuch, you can't do it! Eunuch, I'm a low-ranking official. I only have a son like this. I can't do it!" He raised his head. , knocked down again, lifted up again, knocked down again, only four or five times, and his face was covered with blood.

"What is this?" Lifting his foot lightly, Zhao Chong's head landed on Xu Ruyi's boot: "Listen to what our family has to say.

When your son comes to Dongchang, our family will take care of your future. You will be the magistrate of Majiaji for a year, and then our family will transfer you to the capital as an official. "

"Elder-in-law!" Zhao Chong wanted to speak, but Xu Ruyi said again: "If you reject our family, our family will kill you, but leave ten thousand taels of silver for your son, enough for him to be rich for a lifetime, you But think about it clearly, a son can be born again, but he only has one life."

Hearing this, Zhao Chong said sadly: "Elder-in-law, how can there be another child? The villain gave birth to seven sons, but only this last one became an adult. In the past 16 years, the villain married four concubines, but his stomach was full again. Nothing happened.

Fortune tellers say that a villain is born with the fate of an only child.The villain also accepted his fate.If you want auspiciousness, you want the root of my old Zhao family! . "

"Oh, so?" Xu Ruyi nodded, seemingly unmoved: "What is your choice?"

"Villain, villain..." Zhao Chong's face was blushing, and he gritted his teeth. Facing life and death, the choice was difficult.

Xu Ruyi lowered his head and looked at it quietly without urging him. He felt it personally. Of course he understood Zhao Chong's mood.

for a while

Zhao Chong spoke with difficulty: "Small man... I would rather die, please make it happen." The old man was in tears, but looked at Xu Ruyi with firm eyes, without any concession.

Xu Ruyi raised her hand and placed it on top of Zhao Chong's head: "Have you figured it out? Don't regret it."

"Please, please fulfill your father-in-law." He was about to die in the next moment, but Zhao Chong's gaze remained unchanged, but he was trembling all over. This was the fear of death and the powerlessness of fate.

The palm above the head is raised and lowered.Xu Ruyi's movements were very gentle, as if she was just stroking a well-behaved puppy.

The imaginary eternal sleep did not come, but Zhao Chong collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, in fact, he had already died once.

"I'm just joking with you." Xu Ruyi chuckled, kicked the small bag on the ground: "Take your things, go out, and go to the classroom by the way and call Wang Ji."

"Eunuch...Eunuch, villain, lower official, me?" Zhao Chong spoke incoherently, was it joy or sorrow? He didn't know what he was thinking.

He walked out of the lobby in a daze, his sweat-soaked clothes were blown by the breeze, and he shivered uncontrollably.

The scene just now seemed to be just a nightmare, but the burden in his hand told him clearly that everything before was extremely real: "What, what's going on?"

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out. In the end, I could only boil it down to one sentence: "Eunuchs' brains are not normal."

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, otherwise his life might really be lost.After clearing up his mood, Zhao Chong walked towards the classroom.

. . . . . .

"It's true that people who are righteous don't kill dogs, but those who are ungrateful are mostly scholars. This statement is not false at all. The conditions are similar, but the choices of these two people are completely different."

"Actually, you don't need their help. You already have the answer in your heart." Nangong Caiyun said indifferently looking at Wang Ji's miserable corpse in front of Xu Ruyi.

Xu Ruyi didn't hide the game between herself and Mrs. Xu from Nangong Caiyun, because it was unnecessary.

If he died the day after tomorrow, there would always be some funeral affairs to explain.There are almost no people around you who you can trust.In Fang Tianyou's body was the three corpse brain pill, but he still had obsession with his son in his heart, as well as the ambition to rebuild Fengyunzhuang.There may not be much loyalty to oneself, and most of them are still used and feared.

On the contrary, it was Nangong Caiyun who was like a piece of ice, which made Xu Ruyi feel that he could trust him more or less. At least, he was also from Tianmen, and his relationship with him did not have too many interests involved.If she had to choose someone from her side to entrust, Xu Ruyi felt that she could gamble on him.

What Nangong Caiyun said was right, her decision had already been made, but she was still unwilling, so she called Zhao Chong and Wang Ji over and staged two boring monkey shows.

Time has not been stopped. Hearing the annoying chirping of cicadas from nowhere, he suddenly thought of going outside to see the lakes, mountains, and customs of the Ming Dynasty.

The area around the county government office is lifeless, but after a street or two, the scenery is quite different.Vendors have their own unique hawking, and pedestrians on the road are either in a hurry or leisurely.

Bringing Nangong Caiyun to the market in Majiaji, Xu Ruyi's mood improved slightly.

After walking for a while, I feel a little tired, not physically, but more mentally.

Just as I was looking for a place to do it, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a somewhat weird hanging stall on the corner of the street. The reason why I felt weird was because the owner of the hexagram stall was a monk.

A moment later

"Donor, what do you want to calculate?" The triangular-eyed monk asked the handsome young man in front of him at the hexagram booth.

Xu Ruyi didn't answer, but asked suspiciously: "Isn't asking divination and divination always a way for Taoists? Where did you come from, a monk, and you also come to grab other people's jobs."

"The benefactor is joking." The monk smiled modestly: "The poor monk is a monk who travels from place to place. He always comes and goes. Taoist priests can tell fortunes, but no one has ever said that monks can't, at least poor monks can." I know a thing or two about this divination technique."

"Dare to set up a stall because you know a little bit about it? Are you not afraid of being smashed by someone if you don't know exactly what to do?"

"I'm afraid, but the poor monk has never been beaten. Maybe it's because the poor monk's predictions are quite accurate?"

"Ha." Xu Ruyi chuckled lightly, picked up a wolf hair on the side, dipped it in some ink, and wrote the word "公" on it: "Come, tell me, I'll listen."

The monk looked at the flying characters on the paper, pondered for a moment, and said, "The character for 'person' is divided into two parts, it seems that 'heart' is not 'heart'. The young master must have encountered a big dilemma, and if he was a little careless, I fear for my life.”

"Oh?" Xu Ruyi became serious, and wrote the word "female" again with a brush.At this time, a gust of whirlwind blew by, and the rice paper that was blowing was ready to be stirred.Xu Ruyi subconsciously picked up the paperweight on the table and pressed it down, and said, "What about now?"

"Female..." The monk stretched out his hand to click on Xu Ruyi's words, added a "treasure cover", and pointed at the paperweight: "It's a word'an'. Follow your heart, solve your dilemma, and the answer to your troubles lies in Son himself."

"Myself?" Xu Ruyi gave the monk a strange look, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table: "If it's not allowed, I will come back to you." After saying that, he stood up and left.

Seeing Xu Ruyi's leaving back, the monk nodded and smiled lightly: "You and I are neither friends nor foes. I only met you once to get to know you better. What's the point of seeing you again?"

After walking around the street, Xu Ruyi returned to the county office again, instead of going to the lobby, she went straight to the ice cellar.

There were no refrigerators in ancient times, but rich families had the habit of digging cellars to store ice and snow to relieve the heat in summer.

There is also an ice cellar in the back hall of the county government office, and it is not small, and it was not dug by just any Qingtian lord.

"Keep an eye on this place, no one is allowed to enter." Leaving such an instruction, Xu Ruyi opened the flap of the ice cellar, and walked down the steps facing the bone-chilling cold.

The words of the weird word-testing monk were very vague, but they gave Xu Ruyi an inspiration.Yes, there may be a solution to the strange poison in my body!

He undressed and took off his belt. Soon after, his naked body was sitting cross-legged with its knees crossed. The index fingers of both hands faced each other. The remaining eight fingers were crisscrossed to form a strange handprint, which was raised above the head. : "I have been suppressed for so long, but I never thought I'd come to this point in the end. I hope you won't let our family down."

The eyes were closed tightly, and after a while, the blood on his face gradually faded, and the whole body gradually glowed with soft luster, becoming the only light source in this darkness.

Exhale, the skin is tight, and the bones are bony; inhale, the chest and abdomen are bulging, and the wind is blowing.

There are ridges and depressions under the skin, as if there are snakes and insects swimming around.

Gradually, the color of the skin turned from red to blue, and then to pale, and finally, it gradually seemed to lose its color. You can vaguely see the meridians, bones, and various organs wrapped in the skin. A cloud of black air lingered in it.

Xu Ruyi has already mastered the White Bone Zen from deep to shallow, bones, muscles, tendons, and five senses, but because of her scruples, she has been forcing herself to suppress the cultivation of the five internal organs.

But now that his body is poisoned, he can't care about it anymore. If he doesn't practice, it will be a dead end. If he practices, he might still have a chance. The result will not be worse than this, so why not fight it Bundle?

The fingertips slowly pointed to the positions of the chest and abdomen, and every time they fell, several black smoke would come out from the mouth and nose.

The finger moves faster and faster, gradually turning into a phantom, and the black smoke between the mouth and nose also becomes thicker, and finally covers his entire face.

Dark ice cellar, heavy breathing, soft luster, thick black smoke, jade-like skin.It may have been a quarter of an hour, or a few hours, or a few days. At some point, Xu Ruyi suddenly opened his eyes and ears, and uttered a ghost-like chant from his mouth: "Buddha and Taoism are like demons."
