Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 376 Li Qinggui's Love Change
Clay figurine Zhang in the south of the city is a well-known craftsman. He is good at making clay sculptures and can also make colored clay figurines.In this world, there are craftsmen with such a craft, which is quite popular.

Because the gods are prosperous here, most of the gods in each temple are clay sculptures, and craftsmen like him will naturally be valued by the gods.After all, people rely on clothing, and Buddha depends on gold clothing.Without a good clay statue, how could the god show his compassionate majesty?

It stands to reason that such a senior craftsman should have a good life.But the daughter-in-law of this clay figurine Zhang is a spendthrift.Although the clay figurine Zhang has a good income, he can't help his daughter-in-law's extravagance. In fact, life is very tight these days.

However, like all honest people, clay figurine Zhang still works very hard, just to make her wife's life better.

Clay figurine Zhang's wife is short and fat, and has a bad temper.But Clay Figurine Zhang likes it like this, and it also makes others sigh.

Maybe it was because the clay figurine Zhang was made so humble that this woman thought she was a cute little fairy, but she looked down on an honest craftsman like clay figurine Zhang.

In addition to making money to support his family and silently giving to his wife, Clay Figurine Zhang doesn't know how to have fun, how to talk smartly, and how to clean himself up.As time goes by, his daughter-in-law gradually grew tired of him. If he hadn't really been able to make money, this daughter-in-law would have run away long ago.

Even so, whenever the clay figurine Zhang goes to the temple to make statues of gods, this woman will always find some pretty faces to come to her home. Most of this woman's money is spent on such faces!

This time, Clay Figurine Zhang took a big job from somewhere, and the employer directly gave him a deposit of one ingot of gold.Then he happily took the ingot home.

Then, his daughter-in-law stole the ingot of gold and eloped with her face!

When Zhang Wei came to the clay figurine Zhang's house, he saw that the clay figurine Zhang with disheveled hair was making a painted sculpture that was as tall as a person.This colored sculpture is a clay sculpture made of colored clay.Ordinary clay sculpture is to use ordinary clay to shape the image, and then use paint to color it.

One advantage of this technique is that it is low in cost, but the disadvantage is that the color of the paint will fade over time, and it needs to be repainted from time to time.

This is not the case with colored clay. The color of these clays is inherent, and time will not change these colors.The colored clay sculptures made will not fade for a long time, and clay figurine Zhang is good at mixing several different colors of clay to create ever-changing colors, which is what he is best at.

Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou watched the clay figurine Zhang keep shaping the clay sculpture, and the more they looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"Isn't this Princess Huai'an?" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

Looking at the lifelike Princess Huai'an in front of my eyes, those lifelike wax figures before crossing are nothing more than that.

Mo Qingyou glanced at the sculpture, but instead focused on the clay figurine Zhang.At this time, he fell into a state of madness, his hair was disheveled, and clay of various colors covered his face.

His body was emaciated, but his spirit was extremely excited. He kept rubbing the mud strips with his hands, and then pasted the mud strips layer by layer.

Mo Qingyou looked at him like this, sighed and said: "He is burning his own potential. After this clay sculpture is made, he may run out of oil and die."

Zhang Wei also saw his state, and said: "Did you know? Artists who are in pain will create the most enduring works. Physical pain and spiritual oppression, on the contrary, can inspire their creative inspiration."

Mo Qingyou gave him a strange look, and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Zhang Wei smiled and didn't answer her. What she didn't know was that in the world before Zhang Wei traveled, there was a kind of author who had to be locked in a small dark room in order to have a steady stream of creations.Food, beauty, wine, and beautiful scenery will only affect their code words!
The state of Clay Figurine Zhang cannot be disturbed. This is the artist's "epiphany" state, and if disturbed, he will be punished by God.

Seeing him like this, Mo Qingyou frowned and said, "Then what should I do? I also want him to help us make some exquisite gadgets, and then get close to King Donggu."

Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll protect him first, and I'll look for him later." After speaking, Zhang Wei summoned a few rampant soldiers to protect the place before leaving here with Mo Qingyou.

Just after leaving the clay figurine Zhang's house, he saw dozens of horses leaving in a hurry on the street. The postman on the horse saw Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou, and hurriedly shouted: "Monster soldiers are found outside the city, you come back quickly!" Hide at home and don't hang out in the streets!"

The sound became farther and farther away, and after a dozen or so breaths, the postmen disappeared.Mo Qingyou frowned and said, "Has this goblin hit outside Huai'an?"

At this time, from the perspective of Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou, Huai'an Mansion was suddenly enveloped by a spiritual light, but it was the gods of Huai'an Mansion who cast spells to protect the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei immediately said: "It seems that the scale of the demon soldiers encountered here is not small, otherwise the gods here would not spend their power to protect the city!"

Immortals consume divine power, which is a variant of mana. They can recover quickly with incense, because the recovery speed is much faster than that of monks. As long as immortals have incense, their divine power will hardly be exhausted.If so, such spells to protect the entire city would be a huge burden on the gods in Tai'an Mansion.They wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for the crisis.

Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou looked at each other, then nodded tacitly, and disappeared into two lightning bolts.

The next moment, the two of them appeared outside the city, and saw countless monster soldiers rushing towards Tai'an mansion all over the mountains and plains.

The postmaster of Tai'an Prefecture is leading the postmen to resist with difficulty. Thousands of postmen are besieging the iron barrel formation. A man in Confucian uniform and armor is riding a big horse with a long sword, leading a dozen of the same Dressed scholars and hundreds of elite soldiers interspersed on the battlefield.

This man's long sword is not ordinary. It should be made of steel with special materials. Every time it is swung down, it can easily tear the goblin's fur and split the goblin in half.

The same is true of the scholars behind him. The strong and strong ones are holding long lances, and the average ones are holding long swords. There are also a few who are masters of riding and archery. Every time they shoot an arrow, a demon soldier is shot to death.

Bows and arrows that can pierce through goblin fur are not cheap, and these scholars should be from good families.In fact, Huai'an Mansion is the center of Huai River, and the people here will not be too poor by relying on the salt trade.

And those elite soldiers should be the private soldiers of these scholars.A person without a title cannot raise private soldiers, which is against etiquette.So they changed their names and called these private soldiers servants.Keeping servants is legal!
It is no problem for a rich family to keep a dozen or so full-time "servants". These dozen or so scholars can tell at a glance that they are the pillars of the family. Not surprising anymore.

These scholars are extremely brave, but after all, the number is an absolute disadvantage.Interspersed several times, killed a lot of monster soldiers, but more monster soldiers gathered.

At this time, the leading scholar shouted: "Hold on, students, Shui Jun's Jiangdong soldiers will come to help soon, in order to protect the hometown, we must do our best!"

"Yes!" More than a dozen scholars shouted at the same time, and their momentum increased a bit.

Zhang Wei, who is also a scholar, was immediately infected, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone, I will help you!"

As soon as his words fell, the whole person fell down, spat out a sword pill and turned it into a long sword in his hand, and swiped the long sword violently, a huge sword light swept across, beheading more than a dozen demon soldiers.

Mo Qingyou shook her head in the air, muttered a few words silently, and more than a dozen balls of thunder light appeared from her body. These balls of thunder light turned into thunderbirds, and then flew towards the fairies below.

During the flight of the Thunderbird, countless thunder lights flashed between them, forming a huge lightning net, and the goblins touched by the thunder net were all shocked!

When the leading scholar saw this, he was overjoyed immediately, and thanked him, "Thank you for your help!"

With the addition of Zhang Wei and Mo Qingyou, the situation immediately stabilized.Although Mo Qingyou's Thunderbird French Net was not very powerful, it had a huge range. Every time the goblin was shocked, it would make the goblin go numb.

And this moment of numbness made the goblin move slowly and slow down.Then he was beheaded by the scholars behind him.On the other hand, Zhang Wei slashed out a series of sword qi, and the crescent-shaped sword qi shot out, and each sword qi could kill several goblins.

Seeing Zhang Wei's fierceness, the leading scholar couldn't help but said: "Xu Qian, I'm in Huai'an, do you dare to ask brother Tai Gao's name?"

Zhang Wei slashed out with a sword, and replied: "I am Zhang Wei of Eshan!"

"Eshan Zhang Wei?!" Xu Qian chewed this sentence for a while, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she immediately hacked a goblin to death, and quickly asked: "But Zhang Wei, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture who tried Tang Long and killed the evil dragon with his sword? "

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Exactly!"

"Hahaha! How honored I am today to be able to fight side by side with Master Zhang who is famous all over the world! Joy! Joy!" Xu Qian laughed loudly, driving the horse under her crotch to rush out again, and hacked two goblins to death.

When the other scholars heard that it was Zhang Wei, they immediately laughed too.Huai'an Mansion is not far from Jinhua Mansion, nor is it far from Qingzhou Mansion.If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of disease and famine.Scholars like them may really go to Qingzhou Prefecture for a tour and meet the world-renowned Bachelor Zhang Wei!
For scholars, Zhang Wei is a well-deserved top class!His deeds can be written into a biography, and his reputation can be spread across the north and south, a man should be like this!
Now that Zhang Wei descended from the sky, it was undoubtedly a bloodbath for everyone.All the people present are scholars, and everyone is a knowledgeable person.And the more knowledgeable people are, the more they know Zhang Wei's awesomeness, and the more they admire Zhang Wei!
The morale of the team increased greatly and became more tenacious.The monster soldiers also came more and more concentrated.

At this time, a light and shadow suddenly fell, and a god-man appeared in front of everyone.Zhang Wei saw it, but smiled and said, "Brother Li, why are you here?"

It was Li Qinggui who came. With a push of both hands, his divine power gushed out, knocking out a dozen demon soldiers, and then responded: "Seeing Brother Zhang, how can I just stand by and watch!"

Zhang Wei smiled, but felt a little puzzled in his heart.This Li Qinggui is not in Tianmen County, why did he come to Huai'an Mansion?
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of waves hitting the shore from the sky.The next moment, a group of soldiers in black armor came riding the waves, and rushed into the group of demon soldiers.

Xu Qian saw it, and immediately shouted: "Shuijun Jiangdong soldiers have arrived, all students, follow me to counterattack!"

As soon as his words fell, the postmen behind him also changed from the formation of iron barrels to the formation of flying geese, led by those scholars, and headed towards the demon soldiers!

There were jailers attacking before, and then Jiangdong soldiers attacked.The monster soldiers immediately fell into a situation of pinching back and forth.

At this time, Zhang Wei also saw another acquaintance.

Miss Ci was wearing a white armor, and she came with Jiangdong soldiers expressionlessly.Her face was frosty, she just nodded when she saw Zhang Wei, then directly ignored Li Qinggui, and went to kill the demon soldiers.

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Qinggui, it seems that the two husband and wife are having a fight?
Not long after, under the front and rear attacks, a trumpet sounded, and the demon soldiers began to retreat.It didn't take long to disappear into the wilderness.

The demon soldiers retreated, and the Jiangdong soldiers under the command of Lord Huaishui also began to retreat.Not long after, only the people from Huai'an City were left on the scene.

The postmen began to clean the battlefield, while Xu Qian and postman came over to say hello to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei exchanged a few words with the two, and then Yicheng took his leave.He still has a lot of things to do, although he really wants to continue chatting with Zhang Wei, but reality does not allow it.

But Xu Qian and the others didn't have so many things to do, and started chatting around Zhang Wei.It's like a chat between a group of fans and idols.The fan couldn't stop nodding, everything the idol said was right!
After rejecting Xu Qian's dinner invitation, Zhang Wei came to Li Qinggui's side and asked, "Brother Li and his wife are not in Tianmen County, why are you here?"

Li Qinggui hesitated for a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak.He struggled for a while, but still said: "Actually, Cigu and I had a little conflict."

His face was a little embarrassed, and Zhang Wei suddenly understood what he saw.Just say, "Have you had an affair with someone else?"

Hearing this, Li Qinggui's face immediately changed, and he said in an unbelievable tone: "You... how did you know?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for this kind of thing, how could Cigu have conflicts with you?" Although Cigu is a cold-faced person, everyone who knows her knows that she is actually a very traditional woman. Rarely angry.

Li Qinggui immediately said with a mournful face: "I was just confused for a while. I drank alcohol and couldn't help myself..."

Zhang Wei immediately said, "I'm not Cigu, so you don't have to explain to me. So Cigu got angry when you were discovered?"

Li Qinggui nodded with a complex expression.

Zhang Wei sighed, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework.At that time, he still couldn't help asking: "Who is it that you can't control and betrayed Cigu?"

Hearing this, Li Qinggui lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's Danxia Yuanjun..."

This time Zhang Wei's eyes also widened, no wonder Cigu is so angry, who is not good for you to hook up with, you are going to hook up with one of her few best friends!

This is a big death!

................................................

At night, Zhang Wei drank with Li Qinggui.Li Qinggui poured down cups of water and wine, with a look on his face that he was borrowing alcohol to relieve his sorrow.Zhang Wei couldn't help but criticize him: "I knew this earlier, so why bother! Now I know I regret it!"

Li Qinggui picked up a glass of wine, gave Zhang Wei a white look, and said quietly, "Brother Zhang, you are surrounded by three wives and four concubines, are you qualified to say that about me?"

Zhang Wei froze, his expression became a little unnatural, and then he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

If his body is not straight, his words will be crooked!If his heart is bad, his deeds will be bad!

After a long time, Zhang Wei asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Qinggui sighed and said: "I don't know either. After that incident happened that day, Cigu ran away, and she hid with Princess Huai'an. I can't enter Princess Huai'an's mansion at all."

"Danxia was kicked out by them too, and she couldn't get in."

Danxia Yuanjun is only a ghost if he can go in!At this moment, what Cigu hates the most is probably not Li Qinggui, but her 'best friend' who seduces her husband!

"Brother Zhang, why don't you persuade Cigu for me? I just need a chance to apologize!" Li Qinggui looked at Zhang Wei expectantly, his eyes full of pleading for help.

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, doing this kind of thing is the most thankless... But seeing Li Qinggui's appearance, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

They are all men, and they have to be pulled at this time.What if I meet myself in the future...

Mo Qingyou, who was sitting in the distance, gave the two men a blank look, and drank wine while looking at the moon in the sky.

The next day, Mo Qingyou went to see the clay figurine Zhang, while Zhang Wei and Li Qinggui went to visit Princess Huai'an.

The temple of Princess Huai'an is a small temple in the south of Huai'an City.But the incense is not bad.Princess Huai'an is the guardian deity of young girls, and many young girls who have not reached the age will come to pay homage to her.

It is not easy for these two big men to enter the temple directly, but they are not ordinary people. They turned into a ray of light and entered the temple, and then entered the shrine of Princess Huai'an.

A gate stopped the two of them, Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "My next one, Zhang Wei, please see Princess Huai'an."

No one answered at the door, and Zhang Wei was not in a hurry.Not long after, the door opened.Princess Huai'an came out in a splendid dress.

She swept her phoenix eyes, looked at Zhang Wei, and then at the embarrassed Li Qinggui.Said: "Master Zhang can come, the little girl is naturally very welcome, but I don't welcome people around you here, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Li Qinggui didn't care about anything, and said directly: "Huai'an, please, please explain it for me, I know I was wrong!"

Huaian said angrily: "You know you're wrong?! What's the use of knowing you're wrong? Because of you, I lost a good friend! Another good friend sheds tears every day. You hurt not just one person, do you know?"

Li Qinggui shrank his head, embarrassed and dared not speak.

At this time, Zhang Wei quickly said: "If he doesn't go in, can I do it alone?"

Princess Huai'an snorted coldly, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Master Zhang please invite me in." Facing Zhang Wei, who is famous all over the world, Princess Huai'an still gave enough respect.

When Zhang Wei walked into the shrine, Li Qinggui could only wait outside.

The interior of the Shenfu was deserted and clear, and it was completely different from the bustle and bustle of the past.Princess Huai'an said lightly: "Natural disasters and monsters make it impossible for me to organize a banquet." She is a lively person and hates loneliness and silence.She has been under surveillance since her father was killed.

Without the noise of a feast, without the company of friends, she would have been a prison.She is terrified of captivity, so she hates being alone, quiet and friendless!
When I came to the living room, there was naturally a maid serving tea.She lay lazily on the chair, and said: "If you want to intercede for Li Qinggui, I advise you to give up your heart. Cigu was hurt very badly by him, so I won't listen to persuasion now."

Huai An sat down, showing his long white legs.Zhang Wei coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness, please sit still, it's really impolite."

Princess Huai'an smiled lightly and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't tell me you want to learn from Li Qinggui and say you can't help yourself?"

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Men can't help being tempted." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and straightened Huai'an with a force, making her sit upright.

The current Zhang Wei is not the little county magistrate of Tianmen County back then. His actions made Huai'an's face change slightly, and he quickly put away his underestimation.

Don't get caught up in the fire, if Zhang Wei is really beastly, she really can't stop it!She, Huaian, was not ready to fight a few foxes.

Huai'an was also quite honest after being manipulated by Zhang Wei.At this time, Zhang Wei suddenly asked: "I saw your clay sculpture at Clay Figurine Zhang, did you ask Clay Figurine Zhang to make it?"

Huai An was taken aback, and then said, "Why do I want him to make clay sculptures? I don't lack statues."

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "That clay sculpture is a painted sculpture, not an ordinary clay sculpture."

Huaian sneered and said, "That's even more ridiculous. Why do I want painted sculptures? Do I put them at home to enjoy myself? How ridiculous."

Zhang Wei thought it made sense.Then who would pay a high price for clay figurine Zhang to make such a colored sculpture?

But just after Huai An finished speaking, her expression became a little unnatural, and she said, "However, I received a few gifts a few days ago."

As she said that, with a wave of her hand, several exquisite and exquisite colored figures appeared in front of Zhang Wei.

Looking at these villains, Zhang Wei shouted in his heart: "Fuck! It's a figure!"

These villains are well made and come to life.Every move is different.Some are dignified and generous, some are charming and sultry, some are dismissive, and some laugh like flowers.

The point is, these are the appearances of Princess Huai'an!
Princess Huai'an said somewhat unnaturally: "These were given to me by someone 'not well-known', and I don't know who it is."

Giving your own real-life clay doll to yourself, it seems to have a lot of meaning.This is similar to some people who buy their favorite handicrafts and then call their wives.

In Princess Huai'an's view, this is an admirer's love for her.As a well-known goddess in the Lianghuai area, she is not without suitors, and has also received many gifts.

But it was the first one to send this kind of thing!This made her a little embarrassed.More of annoyance than embarrassment, of course.She still can't accept this kind of naked confession gift.

Although she likes banquets and socializing, she is still a girl god!
