At The Beginning, Caishikou Beheaded, I Chose To Be Reborn

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang?"

There was an urgent cry in my ear.

Zhuang Mo Chen Rumeng woke up and found that the county magistrate on the left and the county magistrate on the right were looking at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Frozen?"

Zhuang Mochen shook his head, trying to calm down his ups and downs.

"Don't worry, Magistrate Lou, Mr. Zhuang is fine, just a little distracted.

But he didn't want this to be heard by Luo Laoqi.

"Oh my god, the county magistrate has come to our village!"

It was as if a firecracker had been lit among the crowd, and all the villagers rushed out.

There was both awe and excitement in his eyes.

"The county magistrate still remembers us!?"

"Brave the snow to see us."

"What a rare good official!"

The values ​​​​of the common people are simple, and the county magistrate Lou is able to take the risk to come to Xiaoluo Village, which is already a rare good official.

"Where, where..."

But Lou Zhixian blushed and waved his hands forcefully.

Where does he want to take risks? Isn't he being coerced by Zhuang Mochen...

Although this person resigned from the official position, he is still a Jinshi and has a high reputation in Xiaoning County, so he has to give this face.

"Luo Lao Qi, right? You just said that there are other people in the village who are safe, right? Take us adults to see."

At this time, the county magistrate made a statement to relieve the siege.

"okay."

Luo Laoqi immediately agreed, went back to the house, put on a bamboo hat, and led everyone out.

As Luo Laoqi said, there are indeed more than a dozen households in Xiaoluo Village that have not been affected by the snow disaster.

The same house, other people's houses collapsed, but theirs was fine, even the livestock in the shed were fine.

"It's weird, it's weird, how can there be such a strange thing in the world?"

Lou Zhixian thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be said that it is the blessing of the Lord City God? Didn't the old man give the adults dreams before?"

The county magistrate thought of a guess.

This matter was too bizarre, and it didn't seem like it could be done by manpower, so the old city god was suspected at the first time.

"Impossible, Lord Chenghuang rarely interferes with human affairs. According to his duties, he only manages people after they die. It is already an exception to give me a dream gift. As for this matter, it probably has nothing to do with him. And if Lord Chenghuang took action, how could he only help these dozen families? Could it be that the rest of the villagers are not the people under his rule? So this possibility can basically be ruled out...Mr. Zhuang, you see too much Zhiguang, what does 007 think about this matter?"

Lou Zhixian shook his head after thinking for a moment, and directly denied this possibility. He couldn't figure it out anyway, so he had to look at Zhuang Yuchen.

But he found that Zhuang Mochen had turned into that absent-minded state again, staring blankly at a certain direction.

Following his gaze, Lou Zhixian found the couplet nailed to the door.

Upper couplet: Fulai transports gold and silver

The second couplet: sickness, suffering, disaster.

Hengpi: Ruyi Scepter for everything.

"What is this?"

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"Is this thing posted on the door of the houses we visited just now?"

When he said this, everyone in the county government immediately reacted.

Many people said thoughtfully.

"It looks like a peach talisman, but it is written in words, and the confrontation is more neat."

"It seems that there is no literary talent..."

"Fool! Why are we talking about literary talents at this time? The point is why people who stick this new peach charm are safe and sound!"

All the people in the county government noticed this strange commonality, and in order to prevent mistakes, they even sent people to go around the whole village.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that people who stick to the new-style dance are indeed doing well.

There was a house that had been dilapidated for a long time, and it might be blown down by a gust of wind, but the heavy snow was so deep that nothing happened.

This discovery made everyone fall into shock.

"This new peach charm, could it be some kind of treasure?"

Luo Laoqi witnessed the actions of the crowd with his own eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke cautiously.

"My lords, my lord...this is not a new type of peach talisman, but a Spring Festival couplet."

"What are Spring Festival couplets?"

"That's what Mr. Ye called anyway."

"What does it have to do with Mr. Ye?"

An image of Ye Yuan automatically appeared in everyone's minds.

They will never forget that day when the evil spirit made trouble and the mist cleared. Everyone thought they were going to collect Ye Yuan's body, but they didn't realize it. They saw him waking up on the old locust tree, sleeping comfortably. look.

At that time, everyone felt that Ye Yuan must be a lucky person, so that he could save his life.

But following Luo Laoqi's narration, their thoughts changed.

"The so-called Spring Festival couplets were written by Mr. Ye himself?"

"Is it okay to paste the Spring Festival couplets written by him (bheb)?"

"Mr. Zhuang is also involved in this matter?"

Everyone in the county government office felt astonished that they had discovered some big secret.

"That's right, Mr. Ye couldn't write it well. Mr. Zhuang also helped to write a lot of Spring Festival couplets at that time...but those written by Mr. Zhuang seemed useless. The house should have collapsed or collapsed."

Luo Laoqi said truthfully.

Zhuang Mochen moved his lips, but he didn't know what to say, so he just nodded.

"It is true."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became strange.

"t..."

The county magistrate opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But he was stopped by Louzhi County.

"All set off to visit Xiaohe Village not far away."

There was no need to urge him this time, he just wanted to see it himself.

After everyone left some supplies, they led their horses and left.

The road was still difficult, but everyone was very motivated. They were eager to verify something, so they worked hard to clear the snow.

But I didn't expect that the road in Xiaohe Village was more difficult than imagined. Halfway through, everyone felt a little bit retreated.

"The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road is not easy to walk. When we pass by, it may be already night. What if we encounter wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, mountain spirits and wild monsters?" What should we do? How about

go back?"

Zhuang Mochen, who was relatively silent along the way, spoke firmly.

"We've come here. Wouldn't it be a waste of all previous work if we turn back? Just go, there are no wolves, tigers and leopards coming out in this weather. As for mountain spirits and wild monsters, they may not dare to provoke so many of us. Zhuang and Lou County Magistrate They are all disciples of Saint, so why should they be afraid if they have awe-inspiring spirit?"

These words made Lou Zhixian speechless.

It's awe-inspiring again.....

Zhuang Mochen mentioned it before when he had to dive into the thick fog created by the evil ghost, but now he actually mentioned it again.

Being a disciple of Saint is not fake, but this arrogance is fake to the extreme.

The so-called awe-inspiring qi actually refers to the awe-inspiring righteousness. This concept comes from the records in ancient books. A disciple once asked Saint: "What is the teacher's strength?"

Saint replied: "My strength is that I am good at cultivating righteousness."

The disciple then asked what is righteousness, and Saint explained that righteousness is a kind of Qi between heaven and earth, vast and strong, and this kind of Qi is formed by the accumulation of justice and morality. It faded away.

There are many people who know this allusion, but most of them don't take it seriously. They think that Saint is just a metaphor, that awe-inspiring spirit refers to spirit, rather than anything substantive. the so-called arrogance

But Zhuang Mochen didn't seem to think so.

There are always some people in the world who are stubborn after reading and believe in certain things paranoidly, and Lou Zhixian has no intention of correcting them.

"Let's go, it's not far away."

He made a judgment.

Facts proved that Zhuang Mochen was right, everyone persisted for a while, and the road ahead suddenly became clear.

It didn't take long to arrive at Xiaohe Village.

The situation in Xiaohe Village is not too different from that in Xiaoluo Village. Those who bought Spring Festival couplets can be said to be unscathed.

In the face of disasters, most of the villagers are kind-hearted, and they are willing to take in their neighbors in distress.

So although some property was lost, people are at least fine.

"My lord, this is due to merit!"

The county magistrate said eagerly.

In such a big disaster, no one could die. For Louzhi County, it can be said that the pie fell from the sky.

But Lou Zhixian was not as excited as he imagined, he looked at the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the gate of the courtyard, and said with a smile.

"This old man, I am willing to offer a hundred taels of silver to buy this pair of used Spring Festival couplets. I wonder if the old man can give up his love?"

One hundred taels of silver is considered an astronomical figure.

The owner of the yard with a goatee immediately fell into hesitation, but when he glanced at his grandson, who was only in a bun, his expression immediately changed.

"Don't sell it, don't sell it, this thing is a treasure, old man, I want to keep it as a family heirloom for my grandson!"

The common people are not fools, and the outsiders like the county government can clearly see the problem, they have no ideals and don't understand.

In fact, when everyone gets together, they already know that the Spring Festival couplets are a good treasure after such a chatter.

In an instant, there was a feeling of picking up a treasure.

Many people say that being guarded by Spring Festival couplets can keep their homes safe and free from disease and disaster.

No amount of money can buy this.

A hundred taels of silver?

What counts?

But Lou Zhixian was still not reconciled, he was very jealous of these treasures, so he went door to door and asked, but even if the price was raised to five hundred taels, ten people would be willing to give up.

The man was from a shabby household, and his family was really poor. Five hundred taels was enough to change his fate, so he couldn't help being tempted to agree.

Seeing the success of the magistrate of Lou County, other county government offices are also moved.

One after another started the temptation of money, even if they have no money, they are willing to write a note and raise money to trade when they go back.

There is no one selling Spring Festival couplets, but there are three houses that only have the word "Fu" posted on the door, but they can't resist the temptation and agree to the deal.

So the county magistrate, county magistrate, master, and the head of the team each got a favorite thing, and smiled happily.

Zhuang Mochen witnessed this process from beginning to end, and said nothing, he has no position to speak about what you love and what I want.

It's just that there are some emotions in my heart.

"Money touches people's hearts, but money is just a foreign object. These people think that they have gained something cheap, but in fact they don't know what they have really lost. How can such things be measured by money?"

On the way back, County Magistrate Lou deliberately asked others to go first, and then communicated with Zhuang Mochen alone after creating a distance.

"Mr. Zhuang, how much does Mr. Ye know?"

"To be honest, I thought I knew something before, but now I find that I don't know much."

"In your opinion, Mr. Zhuang, does he..."

A light flashed in Lou Zhixian's eyes, as if he had an idea.

Zhuang Mo and Chen Dongruo watched the fire, and immediately sneered.

"Could it be that the county magistrate wants to report to the emperor? It seems that the emperor's butcher knife is not sharp enough... How many stupid officials think that sending so-called immortals can please them

Son of Heaven, from now on, the sky will go straight up, but what will happen? Will there be a happy ending?"

Lou Zhixian still hesitated.

"But compared to those Rivers and Lakes liars, Mr. Ye is very likely to be really..."

Zhuang Mochen shook his head.

"Then have you ever thought about Mr. Ye's opinion? To tell you the truth, Mr. Ye wrote the "Thousand Characters Essay" and he didn't even want to sign it. He didn't want to have any relationship with the court at all.

What is involved, have you ever thought about one thing, if you report the matter, if Mr. Ye refuses to admit it, or if it is not what you think at all, what will happen to you?

Can you keep it on your neck? Think twice...Lord Lou, in this snowstorm, no one died under your control, and you have already made great achievements. Promotion is a matter of time.

Lou Zhixian broke out in cold sweat as he spoke.

Ten birds in the forest are worse than one bird in the hand, of course he understands this truth.

How many people has the emperor killed in these years?

There is almost an unspoken rule in the imperial court, that is, there must be no contamination with the affairs of immortals, otherwise, it is very likely that they will be the next dead soul under the knife.

Thinking of this, Lou Zhixian no longer dared to have any thoughts, and asked humbly.

"But how can we hide the fact that there is no dead person in Xiaoning County from His Majesty? No matter who looks at it, they will doubt it?"

Zhuang Mochen thought for a while and said.

"It's easy to handle. Master Lou just needs to report the truth. You can say it's the blessing of the emperor, or it's auspicious. In short, don't mention Mr. Ye at all.

Lou Zhixian thought for a while.

"It has to be like this."

The two ended their communication and immediately chased after the adults.

Lou Zhixian's mind became more and more lively, especially when he touched the Spring Festival couplets in his arms, he showed joy.

"I really lost my head just now, and actually wanted to get entangled in the matter of the emperor's search for immortals. This matter can't be touched at all... In fact, I have already made a lot of money, and this promotion is nothing to worry about, but

And even got this one treasure, this is the priceless treasure!"

I was secretly proud of myself.

A group of villagers, with no knowledge, are willing to sell such things?

But at this moment, he heard the master calling.

"What's going on? Why did the blessing I bought disappear?"

This aroused the vigilance of Louzhi County, and quickly took out the couplet from his arms.

But I saw that the solid words on it were slowly turning into illusions, turning into wisps of light smoke and dissipating...

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the master and the team leader, their eyes were dull and empty, as if they had lost their souls.

"If you are not own, how can you force it?"

Seeing this, Zhuang Mochen laughed three times, and the many thoughts accumulated in his heart were blown away by this cheerfulness.

drive!

He hit the horse and galloped wildly, galloping on the Tianda road.

"Mr. Ye, you are hiding Zhuang so badly!".
