I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 3
Oh~oh~oh

When the sky was slightly bright, the rooster raised by Li Yu began to crow.

Li Yu dressed neatly, opened the door, came to the yard, took a deep breath, stretched himself, and fed the chicken first.

This trip lasted for a day, counting on the paralyzed old man, these chickens and ducks were about to starve and lose weight.

Li Yu was planning to take chickens and ducks to find a matchmaker in the town while he was free these few days, and ask her to help find a wife.

After finishing his work, he came to the old man's room as usual.

"Hey, are you awake?"

no answer.

Li Yu frowned slightly, and when he came to the old man's bed, his face was rosy, showing a look that he hadn't seen for a long time, and his illness was gone.

Li Yu groaned inwardly, stretched out his hand to pinch a talisman, and old man Zhang held down his fingers.

"It's useless, the end is approaching, you must know it, this is called back to the light."

Li Yu put down his fingers silently, trembling in his sleeves, but he couldn't see it at all on his face, and asked unhurriedly, "Old man, do you have any last words?"

Old man Zhang pointed to the side of the bed, where there was a rag woven bag quietly, and the things that the old man considered more important than life were inside.

"Although I have taught you alchemy, I am not your master. You cannot say that you are my apprentice, let alone our disciple."

Li Yu curled his lips and said: "Old man, you are not authentic, who are you to care about?"

Seeing that his complexion turned worse, Li Yu tactfully shut up and motioned him to continue.

"If you think about our friendship, help me find a person who is true, kind, and wise, and pass on this mantle and alchemy to him."

After finishing speaking, he smacked his mouth and signaled Li Yu to open the bag.

I don't know how long this broken bag has been used, and there are still a few patches on it, but there is no peculiar smell.

After opening it, there was a booklet on the top, which Li Yu had already seen. On it were some methods of making talismans and some spells.

Further down, there is a dead vine and a cowhide scroll. Li Yu spread it out and looked at it. There are some obscure patterns on it, and he even feels dizzy after looking at it for a long time.

Li Yu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man.

"Would you like to?"

Looking at the old man's eyes, Li Yu showed an impatient expression, frowned and said, "It's really troublesome, Lao Zhang, you know I'm most afraid of trouble."

The two of them have been together for so many years, and old man Zhang knew that this kid would have agreed, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things.

"You boy, you are afraid of trouble when you open and shut your mouth, but you are actually the person who is the least afraid of trouble. Your desire is too strong, and you are destined to run around for a greedy word."

The old man lay down, closed his eyes, and walked peacefully, even with a smile on his lips.

"If I live your life like this, I will never be able to laugh until I die." Li Yu covered his body, his eyes were slightly red.

Although he didn't recognize the old man, it was hard not to admire such a person.

Since he was young, he has traveled all over the world, and he has saved many lives and done many good deeds.

In the end, in a thatched hut, the corpse was wrapped in rags and left with wounds all over. It was so clean to come and go naked.

One must die in peace, Li Yu is a very traditional person, and he doesn't want Lao Zhang to die so casually.

Li Yu returned to the room, and carefully opened a small box from under the bed, which contained the money he had saved from selling amulets in the past few years.

After catching two chickens and one duck at home, Li Yu walked through the streets and alleys to the east end of Juye County.

Although Juye County is small, the city walls are tall and thick. There are bandits and bandits all the year round.

At the gate of the city, there is a group of lazy gentlemen who are responsible for the entry and exit and patrol of the town's business travelers.

The county is not too big, and few foreigners come here. Because Li Yu has been selling amulets here all year round, he has long been familiar with it.

After saying hello to a few servants at the door, Li Yu trotted to a fierce restaurant.The so-called murderous place is actually a chain of funerals, including coffin shops, and paper-making shops. The paper-making shops specialize in burning things such as elegiac scrolls, paper money, gold and silver paper ingots, paper people and paper horses, archways, gatehouses, houses, poultry, etc. paper products.

As soon as Li Yu stepped in, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair gave him a sideways glance, and shouted impatiently, "The shop doesn't accept live chickens."

"I'm here to buy a coffin." Li Yu said with a smile, making himself as polite as possible.

"So it's a customer, please come inside."

The people who come to the fierce shop are usually people who have just died in the family. The boss has a temper and often fights with others, so when facing customers, he always tries to be kind.

It's a pity that he is born with a fierce look, no matter how he smiles, he doesn't look like a good person.

With chickens and ducks in his hands, he politely sent Li Yu out, and even kindly helped him hire a donkey cart.Looking at Li Yu who left, the boss shook his head.

"This kid is a man of affection. It seems that his family has been emptied."

The guy next to him smiled and said, "I didn't expect to save a lot of money by selling amulets. Why did the boss give him so much cheaper money? Could it be out of kindness?"

The boss spat and scolded: "You know what a fart, that kid deliberately showed off in front of me just now, fire came out of his hands, and there was a chirping sound. This is for me to see, this kid is a bit wise , what if I offend him and burn down my shop at night?"

He spent all his savings, bought a cypress coffin for the old man, and searched for a donkey cart. It was already dusk when Li Yu came back.

Digging graves, encoffining, erecting monuments.
Beside the tomb of 'Taoist Zhang Chengfeng', Li Yu was exhausted. Lying on the grass, he suddenly discovered that the starry sky above his head was so bright.

The bright Milky Way traverses the entire sky from south to north, like a silver river of stars flowing overhead.The half-curved crescent moon exudes a charming and bright light, reflecting on the grass, like mercury pouring down the ground.

Stretching his limbs as hard as he could, feeling the night wind blowing over his body, the air was as cool as water, refreshing, Li Yu, who had been busy all day, felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.

"Old man, you can really trouble people. It's easy to bury you. In these days, where can I find someone who is true and kind?"

"Old man, you have done good deeds all your life and saved more than [-] lives. With so many virtues, there must be some blessings, right?"

"You have to protect me"

It is impossible to pack up and travel around, Li Yu sighed in his heart, his savings have been spent, this trip is a poor trip no matter how you look at it.
"I hate poor travel the most."

Li Yu sighed, got up and left, ready to go back and tidy up.

The current situation is not optimistic, and Li Yu can only comfort himself in his heart. Although he is poor now, relying on the ability to sell amulets accumulated over the years, he should not starve to death wherever he goes.

After he left, only the stone tablet remained, standing alone in the same place, under the moonlight, the bushes made rustling sounds.

After a while, a small beast with a slender head and a long neck sneaked up to the grave.

This thing is covered in yellow hair, and the folks call it a weasel, also known as a weasel.

Its head shook vigilantly, its nose kept twitching, and suddenly, it bowed to the tomb like a ghost.

The moonlight was like water, and this scene looked a bit bleak.
