Chapter 211

dusk.

As the sun set, the Wangcheng under the twilight glow still seemed lively and noisy.

This is an important place in Gyeonggi, and it is also an important traffic road, connecting things with each other, and there is an endless stream of vendors coming and going.

Boom! !

There was a sound of horseshoes, and the knights on horseback were all dressed in strong and sharp clothes, and they were the guards guarding the royal city.

They galloped on the streets, rushed all the way to the city wall several feet high, and posted the imperial list.

It took a long time for the guards to leave aggressively, and then the melon-eating audience around flocked forward.

On the imperial list posted on the city wall, the word "heavy reward" is circled.

The content is roughly that anyone who reports the whereabouts of the Nine-colored Deer will be granted a county official title and full of gold and silver.

The king issued a reward, which can be said to be rich and touching, and the crowd surrounded it, constantly discussing it.

Some people are sighing that the nine-colored deer is a divine beast descended from heaven, and it is of great merit to save people and do good deeds.If His Majesty acts like this, I'm afraid it will be against the will of God.

The snake charmer also happened to see the imperial list, his eyes rolled, he showed a cunning and greedy smile, and said to himself: "Could it be a gift from God, it should be my blessing."

Originally, after walking all the way back, the snake charmer was thinking in his heart, to see if there is any rich businessman in the city who is interested in the news of the Nine Color Deer, and then sell it at a high price.

But I didn't want the king to be the biggest buyer.

Moreover, the king attaches great importance to reputation, and he is not worried that he will go back on his word like other rich people.

"Go to the king quickly, the reward is mine."

The snake charmer hurried to the palace and asked to see the king.

He walked to the palace and was about to report to the guards in the palace when he suddenly saw the portraits of gods and ghosts pasted on the walls of the palace. The sentence left by Selu: Don't say that you didn't predict it.

Although he didn't know what it meant, it kept echoing in his mind like a curse.

He was struggling violently in his heart, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, each insisting on their own words.

One was a young man with a strong figure and a gorilla-like appearance, and said, "Idiot, how much is a conscience worth? Go to Wangcheng quickly, and the real thing is if you make money."

The other is an old man with a short stature and a slightly old face. He taught in Dundun: "The water here is very deep, you can't hold it. Son, listen to uncle."

The snake charmer looked at the portrait of the god and ghost, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself: Nine-colored deer has saved my life. I have sworn to the sky, how can I break it, I deserve to die, I deserve to die.

In the end, the little old man had the upper hand in the snake charmer's mind.The snake charmer gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed his greed.

He turned around and left the imperial city with his head down, disheartened and strongly unwilling.

As soon as the snake charmer walked to the street, he saw an imperial guard posting up the imperial list. Among them, a figure like a leader rode majestically on a horse and shouted: "The king announces to the whole country, come out of the list!" Heavily rewarded. Anyone who provides the whereabouts of the Nine-colored Deer will be granted a county title and full of gold and silver."

This time, not only was there an announcement from the imperial list, but also a carriage was pulled by the side of the imperial guards.

On the carriage are buckets of gold, silver and jewelry, black hats, and official uniforms.

If we talk about the previous temptation, it is limited to the words in the imperial list.

Now it is Chi Guoguo in front of him, without concealing it.

As long as you grab a handful of gold, silver and jewels, you will be carefree for the rest of your life, and you will no longer have to work hard, and you will have endless enjoyment every day.

As long as you wear the black gauze hat and official uniform, you will be not only a monk, but also a public.In charge of a county, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Only oneself can bully others, and no one can bully oneself.

The snake charmer was stunned, and his mind fell into the battle between heaven and man again.

The two villains appeared in his mind again.

The young man, who was young and strong like a monkey, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and said, "Hurry up, or else you will be preempted by others, and it will be too late."

The old man no longer had the posture of an elder, and showed his ape-shaped appearance, showing his greedy expression: "It turns out that if you sell your conscience, you can exchange it for such money, and you can even become an official. What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and run."

It turned out that all the persistence before was just because I didn't see the actual benefits.

Now it's all right, the two villains have unified their caliber and stopped arguing.

The snake charmer shook his head, the two villains disappeared at the same time, and his company showed a greedy expression again, exactly the same as the Orion killed by Xia Wuji.

He rubbed his hands, smiled, and said to himself: "Nine-colored deer, it's not that I'm unrighteous, but your life is bad. Since you saved me once, why not save me again. Use your life to give I have been rich and prosperous all my life.”

"Besides, you were not cautious enough to save so many people. Even if I didn't reveal your whereabouts, someone else would. If that's the case, why don't you bestow wealth on me."

When the temptation is strong enough, the moral cage can no longer lock the greed in the heart. It breaks out of the cage, opens its bloody mouth, and gnaws away the conscience completely.

Is it because people have ulterior motives, or do ulterior motives harm people's hearts?

Or, are the two inherently one with each other?
The snake charmer revealed the imperial list and entered the palace under the leadership of the imperial guards.

"The villain has seen His Majesty the King." The snake charmer knelt and kowtowed, not daring to look at the king at all.

King Mo Yinguang sat on the throne and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Nine-Colored Deer?"

He had just arrived from the queen's bedroom, and at this moment he was exuding the light of a great sage, his eyes were flat, as if nothing could impress him.

The snake charmer knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the villain once collected medicine in the forest and met a nine-color deer. I know that it often appears by a river bank to drink water and graze."

The king nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, you will set off with the army tomorrow to hunt the Nine-colored Deer together. As long as you can find the Nine-colored Deer, the promise made by this king will naturally be valid."

The snake charmer kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down."

"Xiaomin retire."

The snake charmer left the palace and walked home, dreaming of the magistrate's dream all the way, only feeling light and light all over his body, as if he was in the clouds.

Suddenly, there was an itchy and painful feeling on the soles of the feet.He didn't care about it at first, but as time went by, the itching pain spread from the sole of the foot to the thigh, gradually spread to the whole body, and became more and more intense.

He sensed that the situation was not good, and when he took a look at his clothes, there was a disgusting smell that made people want to vomit.As far as the eye can see, there are sores growing on the skin, densely packed, which can kill the kind of intensive phobia.

The sores are itchy and painful, which is extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with me?" The snake joker was extremely shocked, and remembered the oath he had made to the Nine-colored Deer once again.

"The villain swears to the sky, if you leak it, you will be covered in leprosy, and you will die a bad death."

Is the oath come true?
But others swear that "the sky strikes five thunders" and none of them counts. Why is it so accurate when it comes to me?so fast?
"Do you want me to give up my glory and wealth, no, don't!!" The snake charmer scratched his head in horror, although a trace of remorse flashed in his mind, but when he thought of the bucket full of gold and silver and the black yarn in the official uniform, his eyes became firm again. .

What's more, he has already met the king.If you can't find the Nine-Colored Deer, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor, and your head will be beheaded.

"Nine-colored deer must have used a demon method to cause sores all over my body. When the army sets off tomorrow, can't they still not be able to deal with a deer? Nine-colored deer only has one dead deer."

"As long as the nine-color deer dies and the magic disappears, my sores will be cured."

"What's more, as long as you have money, you can't cure any disease. Nine-colored deer, you must kill the nine-colored deer, ah!"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The king led the army to the forest outside the king's city.

The army is vast and powerful, and its momentum is frightening.The king stood at the front, wearing a battle armor, a crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist, majestic and majestic.It's just that the dark circles under the eyes are a bit deep, and it doesn't look very energetic, which damages the majesty.

The two sides were full of people, and only after the army left the city did they dare to whisper and discuss.

"Why is the army deployed today? Is there a foreign enemy invading the border?" Someone asked in confusion.

"If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, there will be news already, and it is impossible to be peaceful."

"Why is that?"

"Didn't the imperial list be posted everywhere yesterday, looking for the whereabouts of the Nine-colored Deer? I heard from a friend in the palace that someone has already taken down the imperial list and met His Majesty. I think today is leading the army to capture the Nine-colored Deer."

"Ah this..."

It is absurd for His Majesty the King to deploy an army just for a deer.

On the other side, the army marched for a while, and under the guidance of the snake charmer, they came to a river bank.

"Your Majesty, this is the place." The snake charmer said flatteringly.

"Um,"

The king nodded, and then told his subordinates: "Hide all, the nine-color deer is very alert, don't disturb it. When the nine-color deer approaches, you should surround it. If it is not necessary, don't use knives or weapons. , hurt its fur, but it will not be beautiful."

"Yes!"

The strong and sharp army ambushed all around, looking around vigilantly, and captured the Nine-Colored Deer only when it appeared.

The king sat on the carriage, yawned, and said: "Last night, my king was exhausted from working on state affairs. I'm tired. Let's take a nap first. The nine-colored deer is here, and I'll wake me up again."

The guard said respectfully: "Time."

This nap, an hour passed.

The soldiers waited left and right, but there was no trace of the Nine-Colored Deer
The sound of running water accompanied by the snoring of His Majesty the King made the entire army drowsy.

"What's going on, I still haven't seen the Nine-Colored Deer."

Finally, His Majesty the King woke up. He rubbed his eyes, stretched himself, and asked in a flat tone.

Sure enough, it's a last resort for people in middle age. Last night, I didn't work as hard as I did when I was young. People are not good enough.Not only did I have to take medicine that night to persevere, but I was also groggy the next day.

The herbal picker was sweating, and he stammered and explained: "Here... this is indeed the place where the Nine-colored Deer... often come, I assure you, there will be no mistakes."

"Huh? Then why didn't you come today?" the king said coldly.

"Maybe...maybe it doesn't have a good appetite, and it's also possible that it was too...too crazy to be late with a few does last night, and it's still resting now." The snake charmer stammered, and he couldn't help himself Don't know what to say.

The king snorted coldly, and his originally cold face suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Wait another half an hour, if the Nine-Colored Deer doesn't show up yet, be careful with your head."

The snake charmer shrank his neck, sweating like rain.

Why is Your Majesty so angry all of a sudden?Could it be that what I just said offended him?But they didn't talk about him.

He quickly got rid of this idea and started caring about Nine Colored Deer instead.

"If I can't find the Nine-Colored Deer again, I will commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Not only will I not be able to get gold, silver and jewelry, but I will not even be able to keep my head. What should I do? What should I do?"

For a moment, he was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around.But suddenly stepped on a puddle of water, and fell down "Oops".

"Water? Oh, I have a solution." The snake charmer looked at the water and mud in his hand, rolled his eyes, and thought of a plan.

He walked quickly to the shallow water pool, squatted down, his arms kept slapping the water, and shouted: "Help, help."

But he thought of the legend about the Nine-Colored Deer and his own experience last time, and wanted to guide the other party out.

"Help, my foot is cramping."

The snake charmer was yelling, he was full of acting skills, and he was confident that he could guide the nine-color deer out.

"Help me."

"Help, I'm drowning."

A dozen breaths passed.

Half an hour passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

In mid-air, there seemed to be a crow's "quack quack" sound, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The smoky snake charmer was about to shout at his throat: "..."

king:"……"

A group of soldiers: ...

For some reason, the current situation is like a group of idiots watching another idiot playing a monkey show.
