Chapter 5 What's so good about him
"Look, I don't know where this monk came from. He is so handsome."
"Don't keep staring at other people, you'll feel ashamed of them."
"I think the golden pattern on the black robe should come from Xihuang."
Shi Qing walked behind Meng Rugui, listening to the women whispering.
Superficial women only know how to look at their faces. Is it useful to have a good-looking face?
The scenery at the bottom of the mountain is different from the scenery at the top of the mountain. On the mountain of West Yellow River, there is a sense of coolness, but at the bottom of the mountain, there are fireworks.
Shi Qing took a deep breath of the fireworks in this world, and just now he felt down-to-earth.
Lijiang City is located at the junction of Dudu River and Lijiang River, with more water and boats, it is more lively than other places.
There are stalls selling rouge and gouache on both sides of the street, as well as hawkers carrying all kinds of strange things.
The singing girl Hua Niang leaned on the railing and sang slowly with a thin voice: "Sit in the rain downstairs and listen to the flute. Once I recite Chang'an, I recite Chang'an again."
A peddler was holding a colorful parakeet in his hand. The parrot was standing on the bird stand, looking at the crowd with arrogance.
Shi Qing glanced at it lazily and didn't think it was unusual, but Meng Rugui stopped walking as if he was very interested.
Seeing more people, the peddler got more airy, knocked on the gong and said, "Come and see, I'm a bird who can speak barbarian language, come and see."
Someone next to him shouted, "Guang Chui, let him say something."
The peddler said: "It is said that I want to give money."
"Let it be said, we'll give it to you if it's a good one. I haven't said it yet, and I want to ask for money."
"That's it."
The peddler pretended to be helpless, he stroked the parrot's head and said, "Hey boy, tell them something, so that they can open their eyes."
The parrot shook its feathers and opened its mouth: "YOUcanyouup, NOcannobb."
Shi Qing: "..."
Everyone: "Okay! What does this mean?"
The peddler said inscrutably: "This is persuading people. If you don't know how to do it yourself, don't force others."
Meng Rugui's face was expressionless, and his hands had already started to feel inside the purse.
Seeing this, Shi Qing couldn't help grabbing Meng Rugui and dragging him away from the group of people.
There is the sound of copper plates falling from behind, interspersed with: "Peoplesayaaaanddie, acarwhichwowwowwow"
"ABCDEFG..."
When a silk flower seller saw Meng Rugui, she reached out and took out a peach blossom from the vase to give to Meng Rugui, but Meng Rugui refused to accept it.
The woman plucked up her courage and said: "Xianjun, look at me, I have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, can I worship under Xianjun's sect?"
Meng Rugui just rolled his eyes roughly, and said, "I can't."
The rejection was straightforward, and the woman turned away with a face full of disappointment.
Shi Qing said: "Why doesn't Master accept her?"
Meng Rugui said: "She has mediocre aptitude. Even if she cultivates for a hundred years, she may not be able to form a spiritual core. What's more, her mind is messy, and she won't practice hard even if she goes to Xihuang."
"Besides, I don't accept female disciples."
Nonsense, isn't Luo Wanyan the female disciple?
The sky is dim, and the west is a rouge color.
Meng Rugui stopped: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to Ji's house in Lijiang City today, so let's rest here tonight."
Shi Qing nodded.
In front of them was an inn, said to be an inn, and there were not many people in it. The shopkeeper was flustered and was using a fan to beat mosquitoes everywhere.
There are many rivers and water here, and there are many mosquitoes.
Seeing someone coming in, the shopkeeper hastily put down the fan in his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Eat or stay."
Meng Rugui nodded slightly: "Accommodation."
The shopkeeper opened the brochure and said, "It's fine for the two of you to live in one room."
Shi Qing leaned on the counter and said, "I like to sleepwalk at night, and I will disturb Master, two rooms and two rooms."
"One room is fine. You should be frugal when you go out and don't waste it."
Meng Rugui said, "A bowl of steamed mutton, two fried eggs, and a stewed chicken drumstick."
This is a meal for one person.
So frugal so far, he didn't even give his apprentice food.
Meng Rugui saw that this young apprentice's complexion was covered with blackness, and he thought to himself that Shi Qing must have Guishui coming again, so he opened his mouth and said, "Shopkeeper, can you help me to boil a bowl of old ginger, jujube and brown sugar water?"
The shopkeeper looked skeptical: "Of course it is possible, but I don't know what is the use of this thing for Xianjun?"
Meng Rugui said: "My apprentice feels a little unwell, please hurry up, boss."
Old ginger jujube brown sugar water was brought to the table, Shi Qing's complexion was dark in the steaming heat.
Meng Rugui slightly pushed the bowl forward: "Drink it, it won't be good if it gets cold."
Shi Qing held the bowl in both hands, with a very cute face, and scolded Meng Rugui in his heart.
When the mutton steamed buns are served, the soup is clear and covered with a layer of green onion, and the pancakes are burnt yellow and shiny.
Shi Qing sniffed hard, he was growing up, he was really hungry after such a day, but it was a pity that Meng Rugui knocked on the door and refused to buy him food.
Meng Rugui's fingers were long and thin with calluses. He tore open the pancakes, soaked them in the soup, and pushed them towards Shi Qing.
Seeing his actions, Shi Qing was really puzzled.
Meng Rugui pushed him over again: "Eat, isn't this your favorite food on weekdays?"
Putting down the sugar water bowl in his hand, Shi Qing said: "Then what does Master eat?"
Meng Rugui said, "I'm bigu."
That's right, it was mentioned in the book that Meng Rugui's cultivation was advanced and he ate very little on weekdays.
How Meng Rugui eats is never described in the book.In this book, if a monk has cultivated to a certain level, he will take the initiative to fast.
Seeing Meng Rugui being so considerate, it was rare for Shi Qing to let go of her preconceived prejudices, and she was moved a little, thinking that she would give Meng Rugui two meals a day in the future.
He was eating deliciously with the bowl, Meng Rugui got up and said, "The room is the second from the right on the third floor, I'll fix it first, and you can eat slowly."
After Shi Qing had a meal, the steamed buns in the bowl were not very fragrant.
He watched Meng Rugui walk slowly towards the third floor, silently swallowing the pancake in his mouth.
After eating, Shi Qing ran away, running faster than a rabbit, stumbling all the way to the outside of the city.
Run quickly, if you don't run, you will be raped.
Shi Qing just ran outside the city, and when he was struggling with where he should go, he found that he was lost, and he couldn't tell the north from the south.
He knelt down and frowned in difficulty.
What's more, he has no money and can only run on two legs.
Meng Rugui waited in the room, but Shi Qing came up.
Is this kid eating so slowly?
He waited anxiously, so he went downstairs to ask.
The shopkeeper said: "Xianjun said that your little apprentice went out half an hour ago. It seems that he left in a hurry. I thought it was Xianjun who arranged for him to go out to do something."
Meng Rugui secretly thought it was not good, the child has not been down the mountain since he went up the mountain.With a fairy spirit on his body but his foundation is unstable, if he goes out like this, he may attract unclean things.
Shi Qing was struggling with where he should go, and his back felt chills.He looked back and saw Meng Rugui standing behind him with a dark face and sword in hand, Chang Ji was coldly shining in the moonlight.
Shi Qing shrank his neck: "Master, I, I, I..."
Meng Rugui said, "Come back with me."
Shi Qing smiled and said: "Master, I just came out to get some air, ah... let me go, don't lift my collar."
"Master! I'm going to be suffocated to death."
……
Back at the inn, Shi Qingqi and Ai Ai dawdled by the bed and refused to go to bed.Meng Rugui was afraid that he would run away again, so he tore off Shi Qing's hair tie, and he stretched out his hand to signal Shi Qing to come closer.
Shi Qing moved closer slowly: "Master, what's the matter."
Meng Rugui grabbed his right hand, and before Shi Qing could react, he tied Shi Qing to the bedpost, got up and took off his outer long coat, only wearing a black inner coat.
Shi Qing was tied to the bedpost and couldn't move in a wide range. He closed his eyes and accepted his fate: Come on.
After waiting for a while without seeing Meng Rugui, Shi Qing opened his eyes and saw that Meng Rugui had already gone to bed.
He put down the blue bed curtain, took out a lighting spirit stone from the spirit sealing bag and placed it beside his bed, so he fell asleep peacefully.
Shi Qing: "..."
Meng Rugui slept comfortably, but Shi Qing was tied to the bedpost with one hand, and could only sleep cross-legged with his head leaning against the bedpost.
After half an hour, Shi Qing heard that the person inside gradually became silent, so he knew that the person had fallen asleep.He himself sat on the ground bored, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Meng Rugui would turn into a beast when he got up.
Sitting like this, Shi Qing cut out a small hole in the bed curtain with his fingertips, leaned his right eye to look inside.
They're all men, what's wrong with me looking at them like this?
Meng Rugui was lying on his side on the bed, his chest was wide open, revealing a piece of fair skin.
Shi Qing wiped his saliva, then looked at Meng Rugui's waist.
This waist is slender but not as soft as a woman's. It feels strong and powerful. If I can touch it again.
Stop!
Shi Qing slapped himself on the face, and he was so wretched, dreaming about a man older than himself.
Moreover, this man is still a villain, and he will fight against him in the future!
There was a tingling in the leg.
Shi Qing lowered his head and saw a piebald long-legged mosquito.
Mosquitoes in autumn are particularly vicious, but fortunately Shi Qing had already practiced the magical skills of catching mosquitoes, so he grabbed the mosquitoes and slowly sent them into Meng Rugui's bed through the small gap in the bed curtain.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Meng Rugui began to writhe inside.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Qing looked inside again and found that Meng Rugui's clothes were all loose, and his right hand was scratching at the neck.
Shi Qing silently turned her face away.
See no evil, see no evil.
If he continued to look at it, he might be bent into a paper clip on the spot.
The next morning, Meng Rugui dressed up and waited for Shi to wake up.
It was a bit chilly in the early autumn morning, Shi Qing sneezed several times, rubbed his nose and woke up to see Meng Rugui standing aside with a pretty face.
There are also two red marks on the neck.
Thinking of the stupid things he did last night, he said with a little shame, "Master...Master...Respect."
Meng Rugui nodded and said, "Get up, after breakfast we should go to Ji's house in the east of the city."
"Master, do you want to cover up the marks on your neck?" Shi Qing suggested cautiously, and made gestures around her neck.
Shi Qingdao: "It's just a mosquito bite, why cover it up?"
Forget it, as long as he is happy.
Meng Rugui went to the front desk to check out, and when she left with the scattered money, she heard someone whispering behind her.
"I said yes. I felt that the relationship between the two of them is unusual yesterday. How can such a beautiful apprentice born by the master not be moved? Look at the mark on the neck."
"That's right, it's so popular that I don't know how to cover it up."
"The same is true for cultivators nowadays. It's really a decline in the world, a decline in the world."
Shi Qing followed behind Meng Rugui, dying of shame and anger several times.
Meng Rugui had no expression on his face, he didn't know why the mosquito bag was covered up.
As usual, Shi Qing was eating breakfast, and Meng Rugui looked at him. Seeing that he was eating slowly, Meng Rugui explained to him the content of this commission in detail.
This was a murder case of a ghost. Fortunately, this ghost can only wander around in one place and cannot kill indiscriminately, so it did not cause panic in Lijiang City.
In short, this commission is not difficult and the scope is small, so Meng Rugui will bring Shi Qing, a rookie, out to practice.
The author has something to say: Shi Qing: Master, Master, what do you like?
Meng Rugui: Lean and black, with shiny hair and bright eyes
Shi Qing: Oh, you really like me
Nine fishing kings and eight: He is not talking about people...
Shi Qing: Heh, if I like it, I still have to beat around the bush.
Meng Rugui: I don't know if Lizhusu's black-haired spirit dog has been born. Last time Su Che said he would give me one
