Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 294 Do You Remember Xiaolian

Li Liangjin had never met such a vulgar person, not only was his mouth dirty, the person who scolded him wanted to draw a knife to kill him, but his mouth was full of copper stink at every turn, without any cultivation of a scholar.

To say that he is a martial artist is really flattering him, the character of this person is probably not as good as that of a martial artist.

"We must humiliate this person well today, and let this warrior get out of here with these foxes." Li Liangjin thought bitterly in his heart.

He took a few breaths, calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said; "Since I decide the first match of Wendou, then I will not be polite. According to the previous agreement, you can choose one , then let me set the question for this scene, you and I will answer it together, and judge the superiority and inferiority, how about it?"

"I don't have any other opinions on this. It's just calligraphy and painting. Although there are good and bad ways of poetry, the judgments vary according to personal preferences. I don't know who is qualified to be the judge?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Liangjin immediately said: "Meng Xi is a Jinshi, he can be the judge."

Meng Xi stood up at this moment and said: "Of course I will do my part."

"Leave the barkers alone." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, as if to chase away a vicious dog.

"This person is your accomplice. It's not fair to let him be the judge. It's just. It's better to just say that you win. What's more important?"

"Warrior, do you dare to question my morality?" Meng Xi said angrily.

Li Xiuyuan said, "You, the person who committed this massacre, do you still have virtue and integrity? Shall I open the book of life and death and see what evil things you have done before, and if there is nothing, I will let you come." When making this judgment, if there is something that is detrimental to morality and integrity, what will you do?"

"Okay, check it out, check it out if you have the ability, if I have something that is detrimental to my morality and integrity, I will never be an official for the rest of my life, and if I break this oath, I will die." Meng Xi was also angry , said angrily.

Li Xiuyuan clapped his palms and said, "Okay, you have a backbone, I respect you as a man, but in heaven, you have to be responsible for what you said. If you are virtuous, I will not only let you be the judge, but also salute you in public Apologize."

"A gentleman acts righteously and stands upright. I accept this great gift of yours." Meng Xi said angrily.

He briefly recalled his own life in his mind. He felt that he had never been short of virtue. He had never done anything evil since he was a child, and now he has been a Jinshi. On the contrary, he has done a few good things. Poor people have written pleadings and reduced or exempted rent for the tenants in their families. Although there is no great kindness, they have small virtues.

If he is full of evil deeds and insufficient merit, he also feels that he will not be able to pass the Jinshi examination.

"Wait a moment, everyone, let me check this person's life." Li Xiuyuan said, and took out the book of life and death from his arms.

Li Liangjin snorted softly: "It's better to be quick, if you want to read for three or five hours, then I have to wait for three or five hours?"

"Don't worry, a quarter of an hour will be enough." Li Xiuyuan said.

After he opened the book of life and death, he only needed to recite Meng Xi's name silently in his heart, and Meng Xi's life would directly appear in the book of life and death.

Soon, Meng Xi's life emerged on the white paper in the book of life and death along with your silent recitation in his heart.

It’s just that there is not only one person named Mengxi in Yangzhou. Li Xiuyuan saw that there are five people named Mengxi in the book of life and death, but this is easy to handle. Just compare their lives, blessings, and fame up.

"I can't see anything." Li Liangjin secretly glanced at Li Xiuyuan's book of life and death curiously, but found that there was a layer of black mist covering it, which was difficult to see through.

Meng Xi also looked around, but he couldn't see anything, only a cloud of black air.

"Jinshi Mengxi is from Leyang County, Jinling City. His father, Meng Yue, and his mother, Wang, have six houses, 75 acres of land, and [-] tenant farmers. Am I right?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed. He moved, and opened his mouth to read out some simple situations in Meng Xi's family.

Meng Xi was surprised, but what Li Xiuyuan said was absolutely correct. He even knew about the 75 tenant farmers in his family. This year, there were just two more tenant farmers in the family. Last year, there were 73 tenant farmers. This book of life and death can really record a person. Everything in my life, I even know what happened this year.

"Yes, that's right."

"Very good, if it's right, that's fine, let me see what you have done wrong in your life." Li Xiuyuan continued to look down.

A person's life is very long. It is not so easy to read a person's life in the book of life and death, and the fate of a person will change because of his actions, so the fate in the book of life and death is not impossible. changed.

Just like a person who was born into a wealthy family and has a happy life, but if he does a lot of evil in his daily life and damages his merit, then his fortune, fortune, and even his lifespan will gradually decrease.

If the fortune is reduced, the fortune will be reduced, and if the fortune is gone, the life span will be reduced until the evil of a person is offset. If there is still evil after the offset, then he will suffer in the next life until it is paid off.

"Brother Meng Xi, is it true that he is checking your life history?" Li Liangjin couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw Li Xiuyuan flipping through it non-stop.

"Brother Li, don't worry, I know my life very well, and I can't find any flaws even if I measure him."

Meng Xi said confidently, and then smiled suddenly: "It's been almost a quarter of an hour, Li Zhuangshi, have you finished reading it? Have you found the place where my virtue is lacking?"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly put down the book of life and death in his hand, then looked at Meng Xi and said, "Who is Fang Cuilian?"

"Fang Cuilian?" Meng Xi paused and said, "I don't know this person, why are you asking this question?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Perhaps you are not familiar with this name, then if I say a name you are familiar with, maybe you will remember it. Fang Cuilian, whose nickname is Xiaolian, is a woman from the Fang family in Leyang County. She lives near the school. Do you have any impression now?"

Meng Xi thought about it for a while, and suddenly his whole body trembled, his whole body froze, and his face turned pale in an instant: "You, how do you know Xiaolian."

"If you don't want people to know unless you do nothing, everything about you is recorded in the book of life and death. Do you really think the book in my hand is fake?" Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said.

"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian" Meng Xi murmured to himself, recalling things from his childhood for a moment.

At that time, he was only 14 years old, young and handsome, and a well-known young talent in the county. That year he was preparing for the children's exam, and he went to school every day to study hard.

Xiao Lian is the daughter of the Fang family near the school. She is 13 years old, Xiaojiabiyu, pretty and pleasant. Every time she passes by her door, Meng Xi can always see her cute little red face. Sometimes when she is studying in the school He even missed this lovely little girl from time to time.

I remember that day I was left by my master to endorse, it was a little late, and I was the only one in the school, Meng Xi saw Xiaolian blushing slightly, carrying a food box to give him food.

Those were three pancakes. He was hungry and they ate deliciously.

Xiao Lian was still blushing and prepared to leave without saying a word, carrying the food box, but at that time, Meng Xi remembered that she had the courage to hug Xiao Lian, and told her that she liked him very much, and hoped that she could do it in the future. own wife.

Meng Xi still remembers that when Xiao Lian heard that he was going to marry her, she smiled sweetly and snuggled into her arms.

Being ignorant and ignorant, he and Xiao Lian achieved good things in the side room of the school.

But the next day, Xiao Lian disappeared. It was said that her father gave Xiao Lian a hard lesson at night. Xiao Lian cried and left Fang's house overnight. today.
"Xiao Lian, do you know where Xiao Lian is? Tell me, tell me."

Meng Xi rushed over suddenly, grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand and said excitedly.

"Is there any point in asking where she is now?"

"Tell me, tell me, I want to know." Meng Xi was still very excited.

"Well, let me tell you a story."

Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "That night, when Xiao Lian lost her body, his father found out that he was severely punished and kicked out of the house. After Xiao Lian left home, she went to find you. She rang your At the gate of the Meng family, the butler who guards the door notified you about Xiao Lian and told your father Meng Yue. Your father Meng Yue ordered the housekeeper to drive Xiao Lian away, and said bluntly that he would not accept this shameless woman, Xiao Lian Sitting in front of your Meng manor crying, calling your name, but no one responded, she cried for two full hours, and finally became disheartened, continued to cry and left, and went out of the county. "

"One night I seemed to hear someone crying. So, is that Xiaolian? I asked about the situation, but the servants only said that someone died nearby and someone was crying, so I continued to sleep without thinking too much. Now, where is Xiaolian now, tell me."

Meng Xi's eyes were red, and he asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Xiao Lian went out of the county, walked for a whole day and night, her feet were worn out and bled, and when she couldn't walk anymore, she found a pond. There was no lotus in that pond. But after that night, lotus flowers there grow out of the mud every year, and they bloom very brightly, but the rhizomes of the lotus flowers there are red. Some people went there to dig lotus roots, but they never found them, only one full of lotus flowers was dug. A rotten food box of silt."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "Do you know why you failed to become an official after passing the Jinshi examination? You haven't paid off your evil debt. You have fame but no official status."

"Xiao Lian."

With a loud cry, Meng Xi knelt on the ground, beat his feet and chest, wept bitterly, and finally, because of his grief, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted.

He tried his best not to faint, but grabbed Li Xiuyuan's clothes and said, "Say, tell me, where is that pond?"

"Leyang County is fourteen miles south." Li Xiuyuan said.

Meng Xi's mouth moved, as if he was repeating what Li Xiuyuan said. After writing down this sentence, he closed his eyes and passed out again.
