Chapter 283 Something happened to Shen Qingshuang.
Chen Luo didn't know that someone in the Shangqing Taoist Temple was looking for him.
He and Xiaobai have already entered Liaocheng.
Liaocheng is not big. Compared with Yucheng, Liaocheng is more like a county town, but it is not a county town.
By definition, it is also a real big city.
As for why it seems a bit small...
perhaps this is because Jiangzhou itself is not big, so even the cities within Jiangzhou seem a bit small, right?
"Chen Luo, let's find a place to eat? I'm hungry."
Xiaobai held a chicken drumstick in his hand.
But he still couldn't help but hold his stomach.
It's strange to say...
The original body is obviously so fat, but this transformed figure is actually very good.
Forget it.
With such a small belly, he can still eat a lot...
Fortunately, Chen Luo is rich.
When fellow Taoist Bailong left in the past, he left another mountain of silver to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo also resisted being taken care of by fellow Taoist Bailong.
She is different from Hongxiu.
It is only natural for Hongxiu to give herself money.
After all, his perfect body was tainted by her.
Later, he defiled himself again and again, so naturally he needed to give himself some money to buy some supplements.
But Fellow Daoist Bailong himself and her finally became somewhat innocent.
Treating herself like this made her feel like a waste.
Like those legendary faces, pink and tender young men are generally unbearable.
Until Chen Luo saw those faces and that little boy, Chen Luo felt that there was still a difference between himself and them.
I am much more handsome.
More manly too.
Even though everyone in the world calls him father-in-law, and he has been a eunuch for hundreds of years, compared with them, they are still more girly.
So think about it.
It seems a bit silly not to have money.
This will save you from the painful suffering.
So, this way, the little fox would not starve to death.
"I'm hungry..."
Chen Luo touched his stomach.
He was also hungry...
Even though he had already been able to live without grains after joining Foundation Establishment, most of them, whether it was Chen Luo or some monks, did not have the habit of living without grains except when practicing in seclusion.
Taste the grains of the world and
drink the sweetness of the world.
I heard that the world is full of five colors.
These are much more interesting than inedia...
So these three meals day and night are naturally the same as ordinary people.
Even for some monks, it is impossible to tell at a glance whether they are monks or ordinary people unless they deliberately check.
Now after hearing what Xiaobai said, Chen Luo also had an appetite.
Now that you are in Liaocheng, you have to be a little particular about what you eat.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was vast.
Hundreds of years ago, there were the Seven Kingdoms...
Although the world was unified, with the same writings and the same track, the degree of unity was measured, but some cultural customs were always different.
This is the case with delicious food everywhere.
"A long time ago, I passed by here once, and I heard that there is a kind of cake here, called shortbread, which is extremely delicious. It is a delicacy unique to the old country of Zhao, and Liaocheng happens to be the origin of this shortbread.
But that was a long time ago, and that place is probably gone long ago. We can go and ask where there are shortbreads to eat."
So, he found a commoner.
When asked,
the people laughed and said: "Let's go to the back alleys. There is an old man in the back alleys, surnamed Wang. Old Wang's shortbread is the best in Liaocheng... but..." "But how?" "
Recently
? It seems something happened to Lao Wang. It's hard to say whether he can buy it or not."
"Something happened?"
"What happened?"
"I don't know, he is just in a bad mood anyway. Who is going to buy cakes these days? It's hard to buy cakes, and even if you can buy them, you have to queue up. Sometimes you can buy them in an hour, sometimes it takes a day..." Chen Luo nodded and thanked his father-in-law for his advice
.
"Shall we go to the back alleys?"
the little fox asked...
Chen Luo shook his head: "No, just find a place with shortbread and try it. Don't go to that place." He
was in a bad mood.
in trouble.
It also depends on the face...
that's all.
Still have to queue.
Even if there was only one of the options, Chen Luo would be able to accept it.
But now that there are so many options, Chen Luo naturally won't be willing to go there...
Eating is indeed the key.
But if you have wronged yourself, then there is no need.
But there are some things that even if you try to avoid them, you won't be able to avoid them.
Chen Luo didn't go to the back streets.
I found a place and ate some food. I also ate those shortbread cookies, so I wasn’t too disappointed.
But it was at dusk that day.
People from Liaocheng Yamen rushed into Chen Luo's yard...
This yard was just bought.
I wanted to stay here for a few days, but as soon as I moved in, someone from the yamen broke in.
When this group of government officials came in, Chen Luo was farming in the yard.
There is a piece of land in the courtyard.
Quite good.
It is a good place to grow vegetables.
Chen Luo was a little busy a few days ago, so he couldn't grow this vegetable. But now that he saw this place, he felt that it was time to grow some vegetables for himself.
Roll up your trouser legs.
Take a hoe.
Xiaobai followed behind Chen Luo, holding a handful of grass in one hand.
Seeing a group of government officials coming in, both of them were a little confused.
"Who are here?"
At dusk and sunset, I didn't go back to eat, but came here...
these government officials are very busy!
Huang Hemin did not answer Chen Luo, but just waved his hand, and the government officials behind him came up with knives and controlled Chen Luo and Xiaobai... When had
Xiaobai ever been bullied like this?
She was about to take action immediately, but Chen Luo stopped her.
So I endured it.
"Go inside and take a look!"
Huang Hemin said to the other officials behind him. They went in to check, and soon there was a sound.
"Boss, the murder weapon was found!"
Chen Luo:? ? ?
The sound was quite loud, and Chen Luo heard it immediately.
Some didn't respond.
The murder weapon?
What weapon?
He soon knew...
it was a knife.
There is blood on the knife.
It was dug out under the window in the backyard,
and it still contained soil.
"This afternoon, all seven members of Old Man Wang's family in the back alley were killed... Someone saw the murderer entering this yard... The Yamen did some investigation. You two just entered Liaocheng today, and you also inquired about Old Man Wang's family. Location.
Now...
the murder weapon was found in your yard, you two...do you have anything to say???"
Chen Luo:...
silence.
Shake his head.
"It seems like there's nothing left to say."
There's nothing to say!
It's too much of a coincidence.
I just inquired about Old Man Wang's back alley... I still don't want to go here because it's too troublesome, and now I bought a yard by chance, where the murderer is hiding.
Forget it!
There is a murder weapon hidden in this yard...
what else can I say?
Let alone them, even he felt that he was suspicious.
But...
"If I say that this is all a coincidence, will the adults believe it?"
Huang Hemin sneered...
without responding.
...
Chen Luo was imprisoned again.
He was caught by a group of people and roughly thrown into Liaocheng death row.
Chen Luo was a little unhappy.
These people are too rude.
"Sir, I can be considered a person in the world, and I have human rights, right? Look, this knife is placed on the neck, there are knife marks!"
Chen Luo said.
Xiaobai also stretched his neck.
You can vaguely see a red knife mark on it.
"That's right, I'm still a child!"
Xiaobai pointed at the knife marks on his neck and tried his best to express his dissatisfaction.
However, what he got in exchange was a bang.
The cell door was closed.
Probably because they were afraid that Chen Luo and the others would escape from prison, they used several thick iron chains to reinforce them several times before leaving.
"Chen Luo, what are they doing?"
Xiaobai asked Chen Luo.
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
"Maybe we are afraid that someone will disturb us?"
"Then they are really nice!"
"It's not bad."
The conversation between the two was not quiet.
In the cell next to him, a bearded man was lying on the railing. Hearing what these two people said, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Let me ask, are you two really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Are you afraid of disturbing you? Are you sure they are not afraid that you will escape?" The
bearded man said: "But, I would say they are too worried... Now that you are on death row, are you still worried about escaping? Can you escape? No matter where you are in the world, even that expert will die!"
Chen Luo just smiled slightly.
It's hard to talk.
Xiaobai doesn't understand.
"Chen Luo, what does death row mean?"
"Death row means that after you come in, you are almost half a dead person." "
Why half?" "
Because the remaining half is just waiting for time, Dazhou Law Among them, criminals on death row can only be beheaded after the autumn."
"Beheaded after the autumn? What does it mean?"
Chen Luo thought for a moment and explained:
""Book of Rites·Yue Ling" records: "When the cool breeze comes, the dew turns white." When it descends, the cicadas chirp, and the eagle is the sacrificial bird, which is used to kill. "
During the period of Emperor Jianwu, Dong Zhongren raised this meaning to a theoretical level in "Spring and Autumn Fanlu".
That is:
"The king matches the heaven and calls his Tao. Heaven has four seasons, and the king has four political affairs. The four political affairs are like the four seasons, and they are all in the same category.
It is the same thing between heaven and man.
Celebration is spring, reward is summer, punishment is autumn, and punishment is winter. "
He believed that celebration, reward, punishment, and punishment were the four governing behaviors of the emperor, which should be adapted to the changes of the four seasons. Dong Zhong believed that rewards should be given in spring and summer, and punishment should be carried out in autumn and winter. Later, Emperor Jianwu agreed with this statement, and
this This is the origin of "Qiu Hou Wen Zhan"."
Xiaobai suddenly understood.
"Then you can only behead your head in winter. There are still a few months until winter. Do we have to live here for a long time?" "That's right!" Chen Luo sighed
...
This
is the third time he has been imprisoned. Bar?
Thinking about it, I still miss it very much.
However, this is the first time I have been to death row.
The previous jails I have been to are boring and boring prisons with no end in sight...
Now, it is the first time that I can know the date of my death.
So when I thought about it, I felt that this experience was particularly different.
[You have a feeling in death row, and you actually feel that this death row is also a good place.
Immortal experience points are increased.
+1000!
PS: Everything in this world should be experienced. Death is actually not bad, especially if you know the date of death, you can be more in awe of life! 】
The only bad thing is that the environment is a little worse.
So I took out the broom from the storage bag.
Get one yourself.
Xiaobai.
One large and one small began to clean the cell.
Ignoring the bearded man next door with his mouth open...
At first, he mocked Chen Luo and the others for being stupid, but now he felt that the scene in front of him was too outrageous.
Looking at the cell that was clean in just a short time.
Then he watched one of them set up a lounge chair, the other took out a tea set, ate...
and soon took out a quilt.
Lying there.
Humming a song.
He couldn't describe the two leisurely people...
He suddenly understood.
He is an expert!
But it's a pity...
the master is useless.
Once on death row, no one can escape Qiu Houwenzhan.
Because the moment they entered the cell, their list entered the life and death history of Jin Yiwei...
No one could escape death if they violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even if you are an expert, this is the case!
...
When Huang Hemin came, he saw Chen Luo and the little girl eating chicken drumsticks inside.
Drink drink drink.
Couldn't help but step back.
After looking around, I suspected that I had seen it wrong.
Then he became furious.
They took everything away...even Chen Luo's green gourd.
Chen Luo didn't stop him either.
The man who just smiled let him take him away.
After they left...
another set was taken out from the storage bag.
He was taken away again the next day.
On the third day...
Chen Luo was still leisurely.
This time when Huang Hemin came, he didn't take anything with him.
Just looking at Chen Luo.
Then he turned around and left...
Chen Luo didn't say anything, just smiled... turned over and continued to sleep.
Xiaobai yawned.
"Chen Luo, I'm so bored!"
It was already midnight outside.
"Go and play by yourself!"
So...
Xiaobai didn't see any action, and went straight out through the wall. When he went out, he saw some government officials, greeted them with a smile, and walked past them openly.
The faces of a group of government officials turned slightly dark.
I want to talk, but I don’t know what to say.
...
Time flies.
A month passed quietly.
The bearded man next door was beheaded yesterday...
and was dragged out.
Cried a lot.
He said he didn't want to die...
so he was slapped hard several times by the government servants, and his hands and feet were broken.
The little fox was a little frightened.
Because of fear, I ate three more bowls of rice that day.
After he was beheaded, the little fox ran to live next door and opened up the two cells.
There was quite a bit of movement.
But strangely enough, these government officials seemed to be deaf and pretended not to hear.
Even when he saw the little fox running next door, he turned a blind eye.
However, it was also the second night after Xiaobai broke into the cell.
There is fog in the cell!
In the mist, a man appeared.
The man held a sword...
and stood in front of Chen Luo.
"I've met my father-in-law,"
he said.
Eyes calm.
Solitary and cold.
Unruly.
It seemed that in his eyes, everything in this world could not be tolerated, and everything in this world could not be looked down upon.
"I have met the Venerable Donglai."
Chen Luo: "I should have asked the Venerable to sit down, but the environment in this cell is not good, so I have to ask the Venerable to be a little more aggrieved!"
After saying this.
Chen Luo tightened the quilt around him.
Today is August 15th...
Considering that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather will naturally become cooler at night.
He is an old man over four hundred years old, so it is normal for him to be afraid of the cold. As for being unable to stand up to greet him, it is also because of inconvenient legs and feet... Come to think of it
, this Venerable Donglai can understand it even more.
"It doesn't matter!"
Ling Donglai said calmly: "There is just something that I have to trouble my father-in-law."
Chen Luo smiled slightly:
"It's not easy for Master Donglai to trouble our family, right? Otherwise, there won't be any trouble. So many people need to die, and our family has to live here in Liaocheng for a while.
Even this method is too rough and really unnecessary."
First, kill the old man of the Wang family.
Later, he framed himself.
Finally, he sent himself to death row...
it was too much trouble!
"Actually, you can just talk to our family directly. Our family doesn't fight or rob us. Why should Venerable Donglai be afraid of anything?" "Uncle,
don't fight or rob us?"
Ling Donglai smiled coldly.
"Everyone in the world thinks so, but if they saw the skeletons and bones under the peach blossoms on the mountain, I wonder if they would think so again?"
Chen Luo: ...
My head hurts.
"We don't know what Venerable Donglai said..."
"Really?"
"It's boring to see Venerable Donglai like this." Chen Luo's head hurt even more: "Where did you dig the peach tree?"
Chen Luo said. Falling in Kyoto, a place where peach trees have been planted in many places
.
Broken Valley.
Yuzhou City.
Wait...
In most cities, there are shadows of peach trees.
Where the tree was dug was quite important to Chen Luo.
"There are also ones in Kyoto, and there are also ones in Duanjian Valley, of course... mainly in Junzhou City..."
Chen Luo suddenly realized.
So you understand.
"It's just that our family still doesn't understand why Venerable Donglai is suddenly interested in our family."
He always kept a low profile.
Could it be because of what happened in Yunshan?
Not appropriate.
"Dragon Lock Tower..."
He said: "I heard that my father-in-law used to live in Junzhou City... The Dragon Locking Pagoda of the Sword Guan Sect in Junzhou City is the tower next to Linjiang. I hope my father-in-law has an impression..." Chen Luo sighed
.
Now I understand everything.
This is the formation I set up above, and it’s known!
Thinking about it this way, you can understand why Dong Lai was so indifferent to him when he first met him!
"It took me a hundred years, and hundreds of years of knowledge from the Sword Viewing Sect, to finally break through the formation... But the scene I saw after I entered it is truly unforgettable in my life... Fortunately, I have seen it these days.
I asked your father-in-law to stay here in Liaocheng and wait for today's meeting."
Chen Luo: ...
although I have never seen that scene there.
But it’s exciting to think about.
"What else have you done?"
"Invited someone to join the Guanjian Sect as a guest..."
"Who?"
"An old friend of the Xianxia Sect's father-in-law."
"Shen Qingshuang?"
Chen Luo of the Xianxia Sect has an old friend...
But there is only one person worth caring about.
"You went to Xianxia Sect to invite someone? Xianxia Sect let you go so easily?"
"Not really."
Ling Donglai said: "I said, I am very lucky... Not only did I meet my father-in-law, but now Not long after arriving in Yunshan, I also met Elder Shen in Yucheng, so I had no choice but to bring him back to the Guanjian Sect." "
What do you want?"
Ling Donglai said calmly:
"My father-in-law traveled around the world, and if nothing happened, he would go on a journey. Let's go to the Sword Viewing Sect...
I'm waiting for my father-in-law to come to the door."
He said...
A gust of wind blew around him...
His figure collapsed.
The fog in the cell cleared.
On the lounge chair.
Chen Luo slowly opened his eyes...
different from the past.
At this moment, there was a bit more chill in Chen Luo's eyes.
