What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Lin Zhuo poked his white head out of Zhao Jingming's arms and looked at the surrounding scenery.

In order to rush on the road, Zhao Jingming did not choose to travel by carriage, but chose to ride a horse.

When Lin Zhuo saw Zhao Jingming leading a majestic black horse out, his fox eyes were full of envy.

Lin Zhuo looked at his paws and chose to give up. With his current body, let alone learning, he could not even touch the rope.

He is just a little fox, how can he ride a horse? Forget it, stay with Zhao Jingming later. If Zhao Jingming rides it, he will treat it as his own.

Lin Zhuo was thinking this at the time, and raised his head with a groan on the table in Prince Jing's Mansion, causing the servants onlookers to chirp and want to reach out and touch him.

As a result, before anyone dared to reach out boldly, he was grabbed by Zhao Jingming and stuffed into his clothes. Lin Zhuo got out of his chest, shook his ears, moved to a comfortable position, and closed his eyes. .

He hated rushing, so he went to bed first.

Now when he wakes up, he looks at the scenery around him to wake up. Anyway, he doesn't know where they went and has nothing to do.

"I thought I could see the scene in the novel with the desert smoke and the sky full of yellow sand." Lin Zhuo yawned and talked to 0617.

Unexpectedly, I saw either woods or cliffs, and nothing else.

"You are not going to the northwest. There is so much sand. Could it be that the greening is not good?" 0617 complained.

"Okay, stop talking, it's disturbing my mood." Lin Zhuo closed his ears and told 0617 to stop talking. Even if he said it, he couldn't hear it.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jingming held the reins with one hand and touched Lin Zhuo's head with the other.

Zhao Jingming just saw the little fox covering his ears with his paws, and he felt very magical. This action was too humane, right?

Lin Zhuo stiffly retracted his paw, pretending that nothing happened, rubbed Zhao Jingming's fingers, and looked up at him with innocent eyes, as if he had done nothing, making Zhao Jingming laugh.

Tsk! Hard to maintain!

Lin Zhuo felt very ashamed when he saw him looking so happy. He curled his lips and went back.

I don’t want to talk to him for the time being.

......

After driving non-stop for five days, they finally arrived at the place where the disaster occurred - Yuezhou.

From afar, Zhao Jingming saw Bi Xun, the former governor of Yuezhou, waiting there with a group of officials outside the city gate of Liucheng on the border of Yuezhou.

But to his surprise, he saw an unexpected guy next to Bi Xun.

It's Li Hongrui.

Li Hongrui was wearing a Taoist robe and looked sanctimonious.

Lin Zhuo never expected to see Li Hongrui here. He even pretended to be an outsider and followed the governor. What? Can you ascend to heaven now?

......

Li Hongrui fled from the trail that day. Although he escaped the pursuit of officers and soldiers, he also lost his direction.

Under the moonlight, Li Hongrui stood on the road, not knowing where to go.

He looked at the empty surroundings, feeling confused and somewhat confused about the meaning of his rebirth.

If he was reborn just to have a miserable fate again, it would be better to let him die in his previous life.

Now his home is gone, his family members who loved him have been exiled, and he should now be a wanted criminal by the court.

The world is so vast that there is no place for him.

Li Hongrui couldn't help crying, wondering what he wanted in this life.

But soon he wiped away his tears and cheered up again.

It's not that there is no chance, and there is that old man, he will definitely find a way. Isn't that why I wanted to find him?

Li Hongrui kept comforting himself. He gradually calmed down when he mentioned the evil old man, as if he had received a reassurance.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Hongrui groped his way onto the official road. After carefully identifying the direction, he set off towards the Taoist temple where the old Taoist was.

After several days of traveling day and night, Li Hongrui finally arrived outside the Taoist temple where the old Taoist was.

Li Hongrui was originally wearing beggar's clothes. Living in the open air for the past few days made his already tattered clothes even more tattered. There were also many small wounds on his body and face. Even because his feet were so painful from walking, Li Hongrui still had a hand in his hand. He was leaning on a piece of wood as a cane.

The way he was dressed made the boy who was sweeping the floor outside the audience take one look at him and shout inside: "Master, there is a beggar outside!"

"Who do you call a beggar!"

Li Hongrui's voice was hoarse, sounding like rough sandpaper being rubbed.

"You give him something and he'll leave naturally."

Li Hongrui's familiar voice came from inside the temple, and as the figure appeared at the door of the Taoist temple, Li Hongrui saw the white-bearded old Taoist he had longed for.

The child was very reluctant to hear this, but he still took out two copper coins from his waist and threw them to Li Hongrui: "Take these, let's go quickly."

Li Hongrui didn't even look at the copper thrown next to him. He didn't even need his crutches anymore, and stumbled towards the old road. As a result, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The child looked confused. Is this beggar still going? Too greedy!

The child felt that Li Hongrui was not only thinking about his master's share of the money, but also hoped to get two shares of the money, so he thought he was greedy.

The old Taoist also frowned when he saw this. Just as he was about to drive Li Hongrui away, he saw Li Hongrui crawling on the ground close to him, mumbling something.

"My little friend, don't be greedy. Just take the money and leave."

The old Taoist waved his hand and was about to turn his back and go back to the Taoist temple, but he heard the beggar calling him loudly.

"Master! Master! Master Yao! It's me!" Li Hongrui made a loud noise, but his throat was too dry, and the sound he made was not only very hoarse, but also choked him.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, it's me, Master..." Li Hongrui coughed and continued shouting. Tears flowed down his face to the ground, fainting into small dots.

Master Yao knelt down close to him, lifted up the messy hair in front of him, and exclaimed: "Master Li? Is he Master Li?"

"It's me, Master." Li Hongrui reached out to touch him.

But before Li Hongrui touched Master Yao's sleeve, he fainted.

Seeing this, Master Yao changed his previous attitude. He first put his hand on Li Hongrui's wrist to test it, then with a contemptuous expression, he shook his hand away, stood up and dusted off his Taoist robe.

Master Yao looked at the child and signaled: "Drag him in."

"Good master."

The child put down the broom in his hand, observed the unconscious Li Hongrui, and finally decided to drag Li Hongrui into the Taoist temple by grabbing his feet like a pig to death.

Master Yao followed them. After entering, he ordered the doorman: "Close the door."

......

When Li Hongrui woke up, what caught his eyes was the gauze curtain above his head. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it to see if it was a dream.

After he woke up for two minutes, he realized that this was not a dream. He came to Master Yao's Taoist temple.

Li Hongrui immediately sat up and found that he had put on suitable and close-fitting clothes, his hair had been washed, and he was lying on the soft bed. The window of the room seemed to be open, and the gauze curtain beside the bed was fluttering slightly. , the house seemed to be lit with incense that he couldn't name.

"Young Master Li, you are awake."

The person who opened the door was the sweeping boy who had called Li Hongrui before. When he saw that Li Hongrui was awake, he stepped forward.

As soon as he called Li Hongrui, Li Hongrui slapped him in the face.

The child was still stunned after being beaten. He covered his face that immediately turned red and looked at Li Hongrui in confusion. He didn't understand why Li Hongrui woke up and was so angry, but he didn't say anything.

Li Hongrui was angry when he saw him like this. The first thing he did after his rebirth was to visit Master Yao. At that time, the boy was also following Master Yao, looking at him with longing.

Therefore, after Li Hongrui sought Taoism, he not only donated a large amount of money to the Taoist temple, but also secretly rewarded the child. He still remembers the child's bright eyes and his expression of thanks.

As a result, not only did he not recognize himself, but he also called himself a beggar, which really blinded him!

Li Hongrui is a petty person. He has forgotten that he is no longer the aloof Master Li. Now he is a criminal and has to be arrogant on other people's territory.

The boy was about to say something, but he remembered his master's instructions and held back.

"Master Li, do you want to eat something?" The child wiped away the tears shed due to pain and asked Li Hongrui in a gentle tone.

But I don’t know where he touched Li Hongrui. Li Hongrui was like ignited gunpowder, exploding as soon as he touched it.

Li Hongrui stared at the child and screamed at the child to get out. He hit the child with everything he could touch and cursed at the same time, telling him to get out quickly and find someone else to take care of him.

His movement attracted Master Yao. Master Yao entered the room and looked at the child who was crying and aggrieved. He protected him behind him and looked at Li Hongrui with a flattering look on his face: "Oh, how did you mess with this little boy like me?" Mr. Li is here, I will let him leave now."

As he said that, he looked at the child with a cold face: "If you make Mr. Li unhappy, why don't you leave quickly."

The child bowed his head and left the house.

"Hey, Mr. Li, why are you looking for me?" Master Yao then looked at Li Hongrui's bed and asked him about his purpose.

"Master, master, please save me. See if my luck has affected our Li family!"

Li Hongrui reached out from the bed and pulled Master Yao's sleeve. Now he didn't look as sarcastic as he did in front of the child. Instead, he had runny nose and tears, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

Master Yao told Li Hongrui not to worry, he did some calculations with his right hand, and then patted Li Hongrui on the shoulder: "Master Li, don't worry, although it is indeed affected a little at the moment, everything will be solved after you complete your destiny."

Li Hongrui nodded when he heard this, wishing he could kowtow to Master Yao now to thank him for his life-saving grace.

But in fact, Master Yao didn't do anything at all, he just comforted him.

"Mr. Li, please stay here with peace of mind while I find a solution for you."

After Master Yao comforted him, he stood up and left. Behind him, Li Hongrui wiped his tears and thanked him, but did not see Master Yao's dark expression.

"Master." The child outside the door lowered his head and covered his face.

Master Yao asked him to follow him with a fierce expression: "It's useless. He hasn't been able to get it after so long. Forget it, it's still useful to keep him." He turned to look at the child: "These two days Take good care of him, understand?"

The kid nodded.

"You too, what are you doing to provoke him?"

"I..." The kid wanted to defend himself.

"Forget it, go and get punished yourself."

Hearing this, the little boy trembled all over and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Master Yao's gloomy expression, he just said yes and left.

After the child left, Master Yao returned to his inner room where he usually practiced, and looked at the evil spells recorded in the book with a more ferocious expression.

Master Yao swept everything on the table to the ground, his expression even more ferocious.

Just a little bit closer! Who would have thought that Li Hongrui was so useless that he couldn't even handle a woman!

Master Yao couldn't help but recall the first time Li Hongrui came to him.

At that time, Li Hongrui said that he saved him and so on, and then he died, came back to life, and then immediately came to find him. In fact, Master Yao didn't understand what he said.

But he saw Li Hongrui wearing fine clothes and valuable decorations, and wanted to coax him into making money.

Master Yao secretly kneaded the secrets with his hands under his sleeves to calculate for Li Hongrui, but found that Li Hongrui's luck was exactly what he needed for his practice, and there was another good luck near him. He followed the trend and made another prediction, and calculated that the owner of the luck was a woman.

He coaxed Li Hongrui, saying that what he was doing now was because of his damaged destiny, and he needed this woman's luck to make up for it, and that his life would be smooth sailing from now on.

Li Hongrui believed it and learned from him the formation to plunder other people's luck. But that skill is relatively rigid and can only be fixed in a certain place, but it doesn't matter. Master Yao deceived Li Hongrui because his ability is still relatively weak, so he can't start the skill anytime and anywhere.

Then Master Yao told Li Hongrui that because his destiny was damaged, he could not learn other exercises. He would come to him after he had completed the repair, and then he would teach him other exercises. Li Hongrui quickly thanked him and returned the gift. gave him a large sum of gold leaves.

Master Yao was only thinking about a woman, so he was not afraid that Li Hongrui might not be able to handle her. After all, there were many ways to get her.

Who would have thought that after such a long time, Li Hongrui would be so useless. Not only would his family's troubles disappear, but he would also end up like this himself.

However, in addition to that woman, there seems to be a kind of spiritual energy around Li Hongrui. I don't know where it comes from, so I have to find a chance to find out.

You must know that the spiritual energy of the mountain spirits is not comparable to that of ten Li Hongrui, so he has to find a way to get it.

In this way, when he absorbs and devours Li Hongrui, he will become much stronger, and his ascension will be just around the corner!

Thinking of this, Master Yao laughed loudly. He picked up the items on the ground and arranged them with a smile, full of unlimited fantasies about the future.

......

Li Hongrui woke up the next day and saw the child waiting next to him with a look of disgust on his face, but when he saw his strange posture, he still subconsciously asked: "What's wrong with you?"

"Yesterday I offended the young master and was punished." The boy lowered his head and replied.

Li Hongrui felt comfortable. It seemed that Master Yao valued him more than he thought.

He waved the child away and out of his sight, then packed up and finished his meal and prepared to go out for a walk.

As a result, he heard the conversation between Master Yao and his disciple in the small garden, which made him froze in place.
