The second generation of immortals fled famine in ancient times and engaged in infrastructure constr

Chapter 47 Two ghost wrestling (plus more)
The pharmacist packed up the medicinal materials and handed them to Xu Laoer, a large bag full of medicinal materials. Xu Laoer said that his village was far away, and it was not easy to come to the city. Just get by.

Wen Yu followed Xu Lao Er out of the pharmacy, found an unoccupied corner and put the medicinal materials into a storage bag, and then went to other pharmacies to buy the same amount of medicinal materials for various reasons.

Finally got it together.

It stands to reason that we should go to see Wei Jin's situation next, but Wen Yu heard the conversations of the people just now, and she was full of doubts. She was sure that the county magistrate Xu must be dead, otherwise Yanmen City would not close the gate in a hurry.

But why is there still news that Shehuo County Magistrate Xu will be there today?
Intuition that An Yuheng has not left Yanmen City, and this seemingly ordinary, but undercurrent incident may have an impact on the future situation.

Wen Yu thought of the cavalry squad he mentioned when he first met An Yuheng, the captain had a long scar on the back of his hand.

At that time, she thought of the "Special Envoy of King An" she met on the way to escape from the famine, the same cavalry, the same leader with scars on the back of his hand, and rushing in the direction of King Ning's mansion.

Yanmen City is King Ning's territory, and it is almost certain that the person who made the move in Fengle Tower was the team leader of the "Special Envoy of King An".

The end point of Wen Yu and others fleeing famine is in the territory of King An, and they value their characteristics of being on the sidelines and not participating in the war. If King An is also involved in this matter, or if King An also wants to join the melee, then they have to consider whether or not to The destination of fleeing famine has been changed.

For a while, Wen Yu changed her original thinking that this matter had nothing to do with the fleeing people, and she didn't need to do more research. She had to figure out what happened and how it affected everyone!

Xu Laoer quietly watched Wen Yu, who was frowning and immersed in his own thoughts, and at the same time kept an eye out for any abnormalities around him. He didn't ask until Wen Yu blinked slowly and regained his senses.

"Miss Wen, what happened?"

He was busy communicating with the clerk when he was in the pharmacy, and didn't pay attention to the conversations of the people around him. At this time, after Wen Yu's recitation, he was keenly aware of the key point.

"Then let's go to the west of the city to see if the county magistrate is real."

"Yes."

The two reached an agreement and set off towards the west of the city.

The temple of Erlang God is in the west of the city, more than a mile outside the Wansheng Gate. The plaque above the gate reads "Forgiveness to the God of Protection".

Wen Yu and Xu Laoer went to the city at five o'clock, and spent an hour with Zhang Zhongdao at the teahouse. It was only half an hour when they arrived in the west of the city, but there were already many people gathered in the temple, and from a distance, only one can be seen. There are colorful human heads in the black.

Being squeezed in the crowd, listening to the excited people discussing who can burn the incense to the top.

Some people rushed to the temple to burn the first incense burner as soon as the city gate was opened on the fifth watch, and some people even lived in the temple one night in advance to get up in the middle of the night to fight for the first incense burner.

Wen Yu who heard this: It's so scary.

Back then, I didn't have the determination to fight for a first-grade golden elixir.

In front of the main hall, there are two flagpoles tens of feet high. Some people climbed to the top of the poles and fixed a crossbar. They pretended to be ghosts and gods on the top of the poles.

Wen Yu and Xu Lao Er did not enter the hall, but were near the terrace in front of the temple.

They had already inquired that at noon, magistrate Xu would go to the balcony to speak and pray for blessings, and then enter the hall to worship.

At this time, "Two Ghosts Wrestling" was performed on the terrace.

The clay sculpture of the Ergui head with blue face and fangs is lifelike, with twisted arms, disheveled hair, and a pair of false feet swinging in the air.

Hook, don't, sweep, flash, turn, spin...

A "little ghost" in red and a "little ghost" in green were "fighting" happily. For a while, the carp was fighting hard, and for a while, the hungry tiger was rushing for food. With the slow and fast rhythm of the sound of gongs and drums, everyone in the audience applauded.

Unknowingly, Xu Lao Er was fascinated by watching it, and applauded along with the others.

Wen Yu found that Xu Laoer has a kind of charm, and he can always unconsciously make people feel that he is very friendly, so he took the initiative to talk to him. At this time, a man next to him who is also coarse and short brown, wearing a turban, took the initiative to talk to Xu Lao Er. Two strike up a conversation.

"Brother, this is your first time watching this performance."

The man has thick facial features and a high nose bridge. He looks about 40 to [-] years old, but there are already uneven lines on his forehead, and his expression is weather-beaten. He only occasionally smiles when watching programs.

"That's right," Xu Laoer responded eagerly, and asked inquiringly, "What's your name, brother?"

"Just call me Brother Liang."

The man only said his surname, as if suddenly having a conversation, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you know the origin of these two wrestling ghosts?"

Second Xu shook his head, he just didn't know.

The man's expression eased a little, and even his slightly arched back straightened up.

"It is said that when the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty had just ruled the world, the foundation of the country was unstable, and the Xiongnu from the west took the opportunity to invade. They attacked like a broken bamboo and went all the way to Yanmen City.

The place where the Xiongnu's iron cavalry stepped was full of corpses, and the people were in dire straits. A general, Meng Tian, ​​was ordered to resist. At first, he was defeated repeatedly and suffered heavy casualties.

General Meng Tian came up with a strange move, so that each of the soldiers carried a straw man with a shield and a machete in their hands. But our army cut the horses, fell the enemy, and broke the enemy's cavalry formation.

Seeing that the plan was effective at the beginning, General Meng was overjoyed. He pushed the enemy back outside the Yanmen with all his might, and ordered the barracks to practice lifting gongs, wrestling, and carrying grassmen...

So far, it has become the wrestling of two ghosts. "

Liang's speech was eloquent, not only Xu's second child, but even Wen Yu was attracted by the content, showing the original expression.

"Brother Liang is really knowledgeable, I admire you."

The second Xu clasped his fists to express his gratitude, and he was also suspicious of this brother Liang who appeared suddenly.

"I don't know what brother Liang was born with? I can learn about the past and the present."

Shaking his head, Mrs. Liang pointed to the two ghost wrestling that had ended on the stage, "Xiao Daoer, brother, why don't you watch the next performance first."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Xu Lao Er had no choice but to give up, but secretly looked at Wen Yu, and felt that Mrs. Liang was a little inexplicable.

The following performances include back pole, rope jumping, sumo wrestling, cockfighting, talking nonsense, etc., each with its own characteristics. Even Wen Yu, who has seen more wonderful spells in the cultivation world, also finds it interesting.

The sun gradually shifted, and at noon, the number of people not only did not decrease, but increased. Under the crowd, sweating like water, stuffy and hot, Wen Yu and Xu Laoer decided to retreat to a shade of a tree, waiting The arrival of County Magistrate Xu.

After waiting for a long time, when the bell rang at noon in the temple, Wen Yu finally saw the figure of County Magistrate Xu on the outcrop. He raised his hands horizontally to signal the people in the audience to be quiet.

Wen Yu looked intently, and found that the appearance and temperament were indeed County Magistrate Xu, no different from what she had seen.

Is he really not dead?
Wen Yu couldn't help being suspicious, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, gathering a touch of spiritual energy and injecting it into his eyes.

!

In sight, the County Magistrate Xu's face was blue and purple, his tongue stuck out, and there was a strange figure behind him, and his every move was extremely stiff.

Ling Wen Yu almost immediately thought of the wrestling of the two ghosts he had just seen.
