Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

A Ke gently stroked the tree trunk, her slender and delicate fingers slowly caressed the icy iron chain, and a strange pride rose in her heart - this is the place where the emperor of Ming committed suicide, the emperor of Ming was defeated by my father He just committed suicide!

"father......"

Two lines of clear teardrops rolled down from the corner of her eyes, and the girl whispered, "Where are you..."

"What's wrong, girl?"

Hearing the girl's whisper, Chen Chong asked subconsciously.

A Ke hurriedly wiped away the tears, forced a smile and said, "Brother Chen, what kind of tree is this?"

The man didn't know whether he really didn't hear clearly, or pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "This is a locust tree."

"Acacia tree?"

With a sudden heart attack, A Ke quickly stepped back to Chen Chong's side, and complained in a low voice: "Brother Chen, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"what happened?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Chong was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem?"

The girl sneaked a glance at the locust tree, and staggered to explain: "I heard from the old man that the locust tree should not be planted randomly, as it will easily attract evil spirits and ghosts..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly shivered, and moved a little closer to Chen Chong.

"Brother Chen, I also heard people say that if someone who has been wronged dies near the locust tree, the ghost will become a particularly fierce ghost, and will become a spirit with the locust tree. Otherwise, we'd better stay away from it Bar......"

Chen Chong couldn't help laughing, and was about to tease the girl a few words, but found that her teeth were really chattering, so he put out his teasing thoughts.

Reminiscing for a moment, he smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, sister, these nonsense statements are all made up by those alchemists who wandered around the countryside. By the way, do you know Mr. Jiang?"

Although the girl didn't believe it, Chen Chong's distraction method still worked: "Is it Jiang Ziya in Fengshen Yanyi? I know, I heard Mr. Shu said it."

"Yes, that Jiang Ziya."

Chen Chong nodded: "Jiang Ziya said such a thing in the "Golden Chamber of the Grand Duke", Zhou Wuwang asked him, there are so many gods in the world, both good and bad, what if they break into your home? "

"Tell me quickly, what did Jiang Taigong say?"

The girl's curiosity was instantly aroused, and she unconsciously grabbed the man's arm to urge her.

In this era, Jiang Ziya is not only a martial sage, but also revered as the patriarch of the military family, and he is still very prestigious.

As for Guan Erye's conferment of martial arts, that is, the decree just made by Shunzhi a few years ago, many places have not implemented it thoroughly.

With the blessing of "Fengshen Yanyi", Jiang Ziya's popularity is not lower than that of Guan Erye. After all, for ordinary people, the battle of gods and demons is far more interesting than the struggle for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms.

Over the past hundred years, after being passed on by many storytellers, even an illiterate old man knows the story of Jiang Taigong enshrining the gods on behalf of the heavens, assisting King Wu to defeat Zhou, and creating the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Chong looked sideways at A Ke, wondering if it was because she had just been moistened by tears, the girl's eyes were always moist, and her slightly round eyes always gave people a feeling of bright eyes and kindness.

He admired it quietly for a moment, and then explained: "Jiang Taigong said to King Wu, you plant the locust tree in the yard, so that good gods can come in, but bad gods can't."

Did Mr. Jiang really say that?

A Ke's little mind was a little confused, and she didn't know who to trust for a while.

But when she thought about it, what she was listening to was the gossip of the village women, and what Brother Chen said was well-founded, so it must be more credible...

Feeling as if she had made a joke, A Ke's cheeks flushed, and the roots of her ears began to burn.

Naturally, Chen Chong would not expose it, he said nonchalantly: "But what you said may be reasonable, I read a book, and there is a story about a locust tree becoming a spirit. It is said that a rich lady died young, and her family Accidentally buried her under the locust tree.

I didn't expect that locust tree, it was a fairy who got the Tao, not only took away the young lady's soul, but also forced her to harm others, fortunately, an expert passed by, and then eradicated the tree demon, and finally the young lady agreed with her body, The two live together and live together..."

A Ke's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Brother Chen, is there really such a story? What's the name of the book?"

"Of course! The book is called..."

Just halfway through, Chen Chong suddenly realized that Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" hasn't been finished yet, has it?

Pu Songling opened a teahouse to change the story, which seems to have been written for decades since the early days of Kangxi, and it was not fully completed until the age of six or seventy.

How old is Kangxi now?

I'm afraid that Pu Songling is still collecting materials, and most of those popular stories are just a pile of manuscripts.

Seeing that Chen Chong suddenly stopped writing, A Ke began to doubt: "Brother Chen, you are not lying to me, are you?"

"How is that possible!?"

Chen Chong denied it immediately: "Do you think I am that kind of person?"

The girl snorted softly: "Then tell me, what's the lady's name? Is that tall person always young?"

The man coughed dryly, and said nonsense: "The girl is called Nie Xiaoqian. She is an expert. She is a land sword fairy with profound cultivation. She looks like a fairy, almost as handsome as me."

A Ke saw that what he said was sincere, that he had a name and a surname, a nose and an eye, so she believed him a little bit for the time being.

Seeing that she was no longer suspicious, Chen Chong used the method of changing the subject again: "Sister, do you know the name of this locust tree?"

"Does a tree have a name?"

A Ke turned her head to look at it, and said in surprise: "Could it be that there are some allusions in it?"

Just as Chen Chong was about to answer the call, he suddenly heard the sound of dead branches breaking not far away.

someone!

With a chill in his heart, he immediately pulled the girl behind him to protect her. Just as he was about to tell someone to register, a resentful female voice came from the shadows: "This tree is called 'Sui Huai'."

Chapter 58 057. Crazy Talk

Chen Chong searched for his reputation, and the sparse moonlight shone on the man, revealing two familiar faces—Jiu Nan and Jian Ning, whom he had been waiting for for a long time.

When Jianning saw Chen Chong, he subconsciously wanted to yell, but then remembered that he was still being acupointed, so he couldn't make any sound.

After learning the identity of her captor, she became more and more worried. You must know that her captor was the widow of the Ming Emperor!

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, they not only burned, killed and looted everywhere, but also destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Now that Princess Daming has caught me, can I still have a good life?

I don't know if I can still see the sun tomorrow...

Although Jianning was afraid in his heart, he didn't dare to act rashly at all. If he accidentally angered the people around him, and the other party killed him, it would be very bad.

Now all the girl's hopes are pinned on Chen Chong, and she can only pray to her sweetheart to find a way to save herself.

Princess Dashun didn't know what the princess of the Qing Dynasty was thinking, and she didn't care at all.
