Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 11 The Wild Scholar
Logically speaking, the matter of living sacrifice is against the laws of nature and human rights. If the court finds out, the county magistrate will inevitably be questioned and such activities that dehumanize humanity will be eliminated. But the problem lies with the court. There is internal strife in the court. How can it control this? Things in remote villages.

Even if the county magistrate wants to take care of it, he is helpless when faced with a group of unruly people in the mountains who are just trying to survive.

Of course, apart from human nature, the source also involves monsters.

Sacrificing boys and girls, and then willing to bring down wind and rain for them, what is this if not a demon?
Therefore, Xu Zisu temporarily decided to change the route. Although it detoured a county, it was not far different.

I drank two bowls of tea, put down two coins, and then started on my way.

"Little monk, the weather is so hot. To avoid heatstroke, I'd better rest here for a while."

Xu Zisu raised his head and glanced at the scorching sun, then shook his head.

With weather like this, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a lot if I wait.

Besides, a little heat is nothing to him.

"Thank you for your kindness, little monk. I still have something important to do. If we are destined, we will see you again in the world."

"Hahaha, okay, then I wish the little master a safe journey."

······
It's eighty miles from Jingshui County. If you want to go faster, you have to pass through the green mountains next to the official road, pass along the mountains, and then walk for a while to Jingshui County.

Although I don't mind the scorching sun, it still makes me uncomfortable.

After walking through the curve, we went straight down the official road and entered the dense forest.

In the dense forest, there is a breeze from the mountains and fields, and the cool breeze is refreshing, and it feels a lot easier to drive.

The wild roads in the mountains are mostly covered with thorns. If he hadn't been physically strong, he would have suffered a lot. Even so, the monk's robe had a few holes.

"Master who is walking ahead, can you wait for Xiaosheng?"

Xu Zisu couldn't help being stunned, turned his head, and saw a scholar carrying a book basket walking over not far away. There were many cuts in his body, and a lot of bleeding on his forehead. beads of sweat.

It's really interesting that there are scholars rushing in the mountains and fields.

After waiting for a while, the scholar came over breathing heavily.

"Liu Wenhong, who was born in Hezhou, met the young master."

"Amitabha."

"Good morning, Lord."

Hezhou County is one of the eight counties in Songjian Prefecture, but Hezhou County is much higher.

"Young master, are you going to Jingshui County on this trip?"

"Exactly."

"It just so happens that Xiaosheng is going to Jingshui County to take up a post. He is traveling on the same journey, so he happens to be with the young master."

Xu Zisu couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that this scholar was actually an official?

It doesn't look like much.

"I wonder if the donor has any position in Jingshui County?"

"Not afraid of my little master's jokes, I got a job as an eunuch in Jingshui County."

Xu Zisu nodded: "In this case, the donor is still a candidate."

"Xiao Sheng Emperor Jing was elected in the 28th year and ranked among the top ten."

I can't help but look sideways, he is still a top student.

After a short rest, the two of them went on the road together, chatting happily along the way, covering everything from interesting things in the county to national policies.

There are thousands of ravines in my chest, I am very good at talking,
Not to mention, he is really suitable to be a teacher. At least the students don't have to suffer from rigidity.

It was dark, and the two of them could not get out of the mountains.

If he had gone out alone, he would have walked out, but the addition of a weak scholar delayed his journey a lot.

Facing the darkness, the two of them lit a fire and sat around it. "Aren't you afraid that a weak scholar dares to take a shortcut through the forest?"

"Huh? What are you afraid of?"

"The tyrants blocking the way, the walking beasts, the weird monsters!"

"Haha, little master, I, as a scholar, are not afraid of distorted shadows. What's more, the sage said: You don't have to talk about strange powers and chaos. In this prosperous world, where do the monsters come from? If you meet a powerful person on the road, you will probably give him all these scattered pieces of silver. so what?"

"As a young scholar, I still have five taels of silver every month, so I won't be short of food and drink."

Xu Zisu ignored it. At best, this kind of person is called innocent, but at worst, it means that he has never experienced any beating from society.

I'll realize later that it doesn't make sense with this kind of person, and he won't believe anything he says, so he can only let him experience it for himself.

As the night progressed, Xu Zisu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fell into practice.

Although he has a golden finger, he will practice on his own in his spare time and understand the way of cultivation.

Mid-moon,

It was very quiet in the dense forest, except for the crackling of the fire.

At a certain moment, the scholar woke up with a frown and sleepy eyes, glanced at Xu Zisu, then turned and walked towards the forest.

After a few breaths, there was a sporadic sound.

After finishing the matter, the scholar was about to return, when suddenly a warbling sound came into his ears.

"Son."

The scholar turned his head and looked around, and vaguely saw a graceful figure sitting in the weeds in the moonlight, with a soft voice and a soft body, and a pair of delicate eyes that were touching.

"girl."

The scholar's mouth was full of saliva, and a surge of heat surged up.

Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly thought of something.

"In order to prevent the girl from being frightened, I still can't go there. If the girl can still walk, come with me to have a rest in front. There is a little Buddhist master in front of me, so it will be very safe."

"Young master, I sprained my feet while walking at night. My body is weak and I can't move. Why don't you carry me over there?"

The scholar hurriedly shook his head when he heard this.

"That's not okay. Don't say that men and women don't understand each other, just say that the girl is pure and pure. How can a young man be so abrupt?"

"Then the young master can't bear to leave the little girl here alone?"

As he spoke, he took out a silk handkerchief from somewhere, covered his face and wiped away his tears.

Seeing this, the scholar looked embarrassed. Finally, after pondering for a moment, he shook his head helplessly. Just when the woman thought that the scholar was out of kindness and wanted to help her, the scholar raised his hand and bowed.

"Girl, I want to help, but my strength is quite weak. Now go and wake up the young master, come together to rescue the girl, and ask the girl to stay for a while."

Saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

Beside the fire, the corners of Xu Zisu's mouth were slightly raised. The scriptures said that the scholar was extremely stupid. Looking at it now, he is not stupid at all, he is obviously very smart.

The moment the scholar turned around, the delicate female voice behind him suddenly changed.

"You're a scholar who doesn't know the current affairs. I've been calling you for a long time, but you seem to have a heart of stone."

The scholar turned around and saw that the delicate little lady suddenly transformed into a monkey, with thick hair all over her body and a pair of twinkling eyes. She looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"monster!"

He exclaimed and hurried towards the fire.

Before he could even take two steps, his feet tripped over a piece of tree vine, and he fell to the ground. When he tried to get up again, a hairy face appeared in front of him, with a piece of dead vine stuffed into his mouth. On the left and right were Speechless.

He could only whimper, his eyes full of fear, and he looked towards the nearby fire.
