Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 264 Jigong World
Not long after, Zhou Yu and Wuyinmen came to Pangu Tomb.

Pan Gu's tomb does not mean that what is buried inside is Pan Gu. After Pan Gu broke the sky and split the earth, it has long since turned into the whole world.

Pan Gu's tomb is just a symbol, and some ancient monsters are sealed inside.

Since the great ancient monster was sealed, it would not be easy for those monsters to break into Pangu's tomb.

After Zhou Yu and his party came to Pangu's tomb, they set up a net.

Although Wuyinmen has passed down the Qimen Dunjia technique from generation to generation, but in the process of setting it up, it has learned a lot from Zhou Yu.

After all, Zhou Yu has studied Qimen Dunjia for many years, and he has already mastered it.

When those monsters from outside the territory forcibly broke into the ancient tomb, it can be said that they fell into a trap...

With Zhou Yu's assistance, the plots of those monsters and demons from outside the territory finally went bankrupt, and they were wiped out without missing a single one!

After leaving this world, Zhou Yu returned to the world of "Jigong" without stopping.

The plot of this world is mainly that the dragon descending Arhat randomly pulled the red thread, tampered with the book of life and death of the king of Hades, and made the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet every day, which angered the Jade Emperor.

Later, Master Guanyin came forward to persuade him, and the Jade Emperor promised to subdue the dragon to make atonement, stating that as long as he subdues the dragon to go down to the world, without using mana, he will be destined to be a prostitute, a beggar and a villain for the ninth generation with spiritual influence. If the three mortals leave the industry, the grievances between Jianglong and the gods can be written off.

Therefore, Arhat Subduing Dragon was reincarnated as a human, named Li Xiuyuan...

This is a story about destiny.

When Zhou Yu came, Jigong had not yet become Jigong, he was just a teenager, and his family was rich.

Zhou Yu didn't intend to forcibly change his fate. After all, Li Xiuyuan was the reincarnation of Arhat. If he forcibly changed his fate, there might be some unpredictable consequences.

Including the villain of the ninth generation, the pheasant of the ninth generation, and the beggar of the ninth generation, he ignored it, and after Li Xiuyuan awakened, he let him go to the karma.

Of course, since he came to this world, there must be a reason.

Because this world is also invaded by foreign monsters.Although there are only a few remnants of soldiers, if they are not eliminated in time, it will definitely lead to future troubles.

As the saying goes, cutting grass without eradicating its roots will regenerate when the spring breeze blows.

Those extraterrestrial monsters also don't know what special ability they can hide their aura.

As long as they hide and don't move, even Zhou Yu can hardly perceive their hiding place.

Therefore, after coming to this world, Zhou Yu kept a low profile, bought a small yard near Li Xiuyuan's house, and wandered around the market as an ordinary scholar.

He believes that what should come will eventually come, and there is no need to deliberately search for it.

Also take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the fireworks life in the market.

So, this time he didn't accept students, he drank a little wine every day, listened to a song on the bar, drank tea in a teahouse, listened to storytelling and so on.

On this day, Zhou Yu came to a teahouse again.

He often comes to this teahouse, the shopkeeper, the clerk, and the old tea customers all know him. Everyone calls him a scholar, and the clerk calls him a gentleman.

"Hey, there are so few people drinking tea today?"

After entering the teahouse, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing the few tea customers.

At this time in the past, the tea customers were almost full.

Most of the tea drinkers in this teahouse are neighbors nearby, and drinking tea here is not expensive, cheap tea costs three renminbi, and better ones cost only ten renminbi.

"Xiu Cai, haven't you heard that the city is haunted?"

"Haunted?"

Zhou Yu was stunned.

He really hadn't heard of it.

It is inevitable that there will be some lonely and wild ghosts in this city, and he is too lazy to pay attention to them.However, since it can cause panic among the people, it must be something like killing someone.

"It's a long story..."

Someone started, and others added one after another, so Zhou Yu heard a story with twists and turns.

There is a big family in this city, surnamed Yang.

The Yang family has three sons, and the youngest third son also married a few years ago. His wife, Jia Shi, is beautiful and graceful.

It's a pity that after being married for three years, there was no movement in my stomach, and I took a lot of medicine during this period, but there was still no effect.

As a result, it attracted a lot of gossip, and also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Yang family, who wanted to force their son to divorce his wife.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the third son of the Yang family contracted the cold, and finally passed away after the treatment failed.

At that time, there were still some rumors that Jia Shi must have been the victim.

However, these rumors did not spread too widely, because the Yang family didn't say much, presumably it was the third son of the Yang family who was killed, not the Jia family.

Considering that Jia was still young, Jia's natal family persuaded him to remarry so as not to become a widow.

In the end, Jia's attitude was very firm, saying that if her natal family forced her, she would hang herself.

In desperation, the natal family can only let it go.

When people outside heard about this incident, they couldn't help admiring Jia's steadfastness.

The Yang family has a relatively large family business, but the Jia family does not dispute it, after all, she has no descendants.Not long after her husband died, she moved to live in a small courtyard alone with her dowry maid, Rong'er.

It's just that it's not easy for two women to live, so the Yang family sent another servant named Zhu'er to help with some heavy chores.

Zhu'er is only fourteen years old. Although he is thin and small, he is a male after all. It is convenient for him to do heavy work in the yard or go out to buy some things.

Therefore, Mrs. Jia didn't object. After all, the family really needed a man, and she didn't ask for it on her own initiative, so she didn't have to worry about other people's gossip.

Two years have passed without incident.

Entering summer, a heavy rainstorm caused some leaks in several houses.

After the rain stopped, Jia ordered Zhu'er to find a craftsman to repair the roof so that it would not leak again when it rained.

Not far from the house, Zhu'er found someone picking up tiles on the roof, and it seemed that the house was leaking.

So he asked: "Master, there are a few rooms in our yard that are also leaking, can you take a look?"

The man in the house was named Ah Cai. When he was young, he went out with his uncle for a period of time, helping people repair and make some money.

Later, he thought it was too tiring to travel around, so he returned home and found some odd jobs in the city.

However, this guy is restless and lazy.With two coins in hand, I spend them to buy wine and drink. In my thirties, I can't do anything. I have the cheek to ask someone to help with marriage, but the result is still single.

After all, the neighbors all know that this guy is lazy and likes to drink. If any girl marries him, it will be like jumping into a pit of fire.

Hearing someone calling, Ah Cai squinted and asked, "Where is the yard?"

"It's not far ahead..."

Zhu Er pointed to the direction of the yard and introduced it.

After listening, Ah Cai couldn't help but feel moved.

He has long heard that Jia Shi is beautiful, just like the beauties in the paintings.It's a pity that Mrs. Jia lives in a shallow place and rarely goes out, so she has never been able to see her.

The point is, a beautiful widow... This will inevitably make Ah Cai fantasize.

Now I finally found my chance.

So, Ah Cai couldn't care less about his own roof, and immediately followed Zhu'er to the yard with a look of enthusiasm.

"Where is the leak?"

Generally speaking, to check for rain leaks, you usually have to check in the house first to see if there is a light leak, so that you can determine the location.

Zhu'er replied: "The kitchen, hall, and Madam's room all have leaks."

"Well, let's go and have a look first."

Jia Shi didn't want to show up, let alone let a man enter her room.

But there is no way, there are two places in her room where the rain leaks, and Zhuer can only let Ah Cai enter the room, and point to the leak.

As soon as he entered the room, Ah Cai's mood became excited, and he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

That unique feminine fragrance, to him, is like fairy wine...

Then he pretended to casually look at Jia Shi, and almost couldn't control it.

Of course, he didn't dare to mess around.

After all, he also knew that Mrs. Jia was the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, and she was not a single family member. If she offended the Yang family, it would be no good for him.

The future is long, so we can't act too hastily.

So, he calmed down and checked the leaks in a few houses, and then went to the roof to look again.

After coming down, he deliberately exaggerated: "It looks like it was stepped on by a wild cat and broke a lot of tiles. If you simply clean it up, it won't leak, but it won't last long.

If you want to manage it for a longer period of time, you need to replace a batch of broken tiles and turn over all the tiles again. "

Of course, Mrs. Jia hoped to take a longer time to take care of it, so he said, "It's okay, let's just go through it once. Do the math, how many new tiles will you need? Adding wages, how much will you need in total?"

Ah Cai rolled his eyes and began to calculate.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating.

The quotation was too high, if Mrs. Jia disagreed and went to find someone else, wouldn't he have no hope?

Might as well take this opportunity to get close.

So he said: "Well, Mrs. Maiwa can let the pillar go, and I won't touch my hands. In terms of wages, fifty yuan a day, and two meals, I don't know what Madam thinks?"

Relatively speaking, this is cheaper than the general wages outside.

After all, picking up leaks in the house is also a technical job, no more than a small worker.

Sure enough, this method worked, Jia said generously: "In this way, you can still buy tiles, and I will pay you how much it is when the time comes. As for wages, I will give you a hundred cash a day and take care of two meals."

"Then thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome, just trouble the master to rectify it, add more tiles, and try to make it as strong as possible."

"Don't worry ma'am."

In this way, Ah Cai got his wish and was able to stay. The job that could have been done in two days, he just dawdled for six days.

Firstly, I wanted to see Jia Shi more, and secondly, I wanted to test it out to see if there was any chance of success.

The result made him a little disappointed, because he found that Jia Shi was quite disciplined, and it might not be that easy to get him.

However, Ah Cai still did not give up.

After returning home, Jia's plump figure was all over his mind.

Most people are like this, the more you can't get it, the more you want it.

If Jia Shi was just a widow with a single family, Ah Cai would probably come to her door desperately.

But he was worried that the Yang family was a big family, so he didn't dare to mess around.

After thinking about it, I finally had a flash of inspiration and thought of a person... Zhu Zi.

Zhuzi was only 14 years old when he passed away, and he suffered from malnutrition all the year round. His body was thin and small, like a child.

But it's different now, there are only three people in the yard, Jia Shi, Rong'er and him, and Jia Shi didn't lose to them, after all, there are only three of them, so she didn't open a small stove herself, they all ate together.

In the past two years, the pillar has grown a lot taller, and the body has also become stronger.

Ah Cai wanted to come, let alone Rong'er, but Jia was a widow whose husband had been dead for more than three years, and she couldn't believe and be tempted by a young man like Zhu'er every day.

It's just that I dare not exceed the etiquette because of the etiquette.

If there is a way for her to break through this step, and Zhu'er...

At that time, wouldn't he have a handle?

Now that he has a clue, why should Jia obediently listen to him?

With this thought in mind, Ah Cai deliberately approached Zhu'er.

Zhu'er often wants to go shopping in the street, so Ah Cai pretends to meet him by chance and makes friends with him.

Originally, the two had dealt with each other before, so Zhu'er wasn't too wary.

Going back and forth, we became more familiar.

In order to achieve his goals, Ah Cai has also become more diligent, often helping others with odd jobs and saving a few small money.

One day, Fei took Zhu'er to drink together.

Zhu'er usually doesn't drink alcohol at all, but when she drinks alcohol, she becomes dizzy, and Ah Cai's deliberate rhetoric really creates some secrets.

Zhu'er rolled her tongue and said: "The luckiest thing in my life is that I met our wife.

She is very kind to me and Rong'er, she never withholds wages, and sometimes even pays more, let us do things well..."

"However, she is still very frugal in life. Since the third young master left, she has never bought a single piece of jewelry. She rarely buys new clothes..."

"When I was young, our village was haunted by ghosts, and several people died that night.

Therefore, I have been timid and afraid of the dark since I was a child, especially in windy, rainy and thundery weather, I dare not turn on the lamp to sleep.

But every time I wake up, the light is blown out.

I was terrified, so I asked Ronger if she had blown the lamp.

Rong'er said no, she said she was an unmarried woman, how could she come into my room at will?
Then she said it was the madam who blew it, because the madam was afraid that if I fell asleep, if the oil lamp was not blown, it would waste oil, and secondly, if there was a fire..."

Hearing these words, Ah Cai couldn't help but said sourly: "So, your wife really cares about you, knowing that you are afraid of the dark, and even made a special trip to wait for you to fall asleep before coming in to blow the lamp."

"Yeah, that's why I said I'm very lucky to have met such a good person as Madam..."

"Boy, tell the truth, have you ever thought about your wife..."

Zhu'er's face was startled: "No, don't talk nonsense..."

"Okay, everyone is a man, your wife is so beautiful, if a normal man likes it, don't pretend."

"Even if I like it, it's impossible for me to have unreasonable thoughts about my wife..."

This contact, on the surface, it seems that Ah Cai has made little progress, but in fact, he has found the most critical breakthrough point.

Compared to changing Jia Shi, he believed that changing Zhu'er was easier.

So, this guy dragged Zhu'er into the water step by step, for example, told Zhu'er about the relationship between men and women, and gave Zhu'er a few brochures like that.

Zhu'er herself is at an ignorant age, and she is full of vigor, so how can she stand up to Ah Cai's instigation?

In addition, after peeking at those brochures, when I looked at my wife again, some thoughts inevitably came to my mind.

After all, Jia Shi was already beautiful, and she was in the age of Huaxin, so she had an indescribable style...

For a young man, it was like poison.
