Wind Ying Lou

We spent more than half a month on the boat, and finally came to Leizhou City one day when the sun was westward.The city of Leizhou in the setting sun looks strange in its serenity.People from outside the city rushed into the city in twos and threes, all in a hurry.

Jing Tian wondered, "What are they in such a hurry for?"

Xue Jian waved his hand: "Silly boy, it must be dark and the gates of the city will be closed."

"Ah, there is a notice here!" Xiaokui pointed to the roadside notice board and said to us, "Should we have a look before entering the city?" The notice board was on the side of the main road outside the city gate, "Instructions for entering the city" are written in bright red cinnabar in four huge characters, with a somewhat chilling atmosphere, which makes people feel fearful when they read it.

Our group immediately went up to take a closer look, but we couldn't see a line, so we heard a loud shout from behind: "Those outsiders—the outsiders who read the notice—yes, it's you!"

Except for the few of us in the surrounding area, the few people who rushed into the city just now have all entered the city. It seems that this is referring to us. He was standing there and shouting to us: "Do you want to enter the city? If you don't enter the city, you should leave quickly. If you enter the city, please come in quickly. We are going to close the gate of the city!"

Senior Brother Changqing bowed his hands to the official: "Thank you for reminding us, we will enter the city immediately." As we said that, our group hurried to the city.

As soon as we ran into the city gate, the officials guarding both sides of the city gate closed the gate with force, and the official officer who urged us to enter the city just now was coming down from the tower, we all stopped when we saw him Senior Brother Changqing walked up and saluted politely: "My lord, our brothers and sisters are visiting Leizhou from other places. Thank you for reminding me just now. I just don't know why Leizhou City closed the gate so early? But What's going on in town today?"

The official waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal today, but our Leizhou City has closed its gates five years ago. You didn't see the notice outside just now, did you? It was posted by our Leizhou Inspector Shi Yun. We Since five years ago in Leizhou, there have been incidents of Lei Gong exterminating demons at night. The governor was afraid that we would encounter monsters when we went out at night, or be hacked by Lei Gong as a monster, so he posted a notice asking everyone to close doors and windows at night and not to go out. In recent months, the goblins have come more and more frequently, and the residents have closed their doors before the sun goes down, and our city gates have been closed even earlier."

While he was talking to Senior Brother Changqing, I took the opportunity to look around. Leizhou City is located in the subtropics, the climate is as warm as spring, and there are many subtropical tree species planted in the city. It didn't fall below the horizon, but there were not many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, I saw three or two residents, and they seemed to be rushing home.Most of the small merchants and hawkers on the street have also closed their stalls.

Just listen to the officer continue to say: "You don't want to go away, hurry up and go to the inn. But we only have one auspicious inn in Leizhou City."

Senior Brother Changqing politely asked the official to lead the way. I knew that the senior brother wanted to get more words out of the official's mouth.The officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "Forget it, anyway, I'm going back to the yamen on the way, and it's not too late. I'll take you there."

I hurriedly said with a smile: "Thank you, sir, it's just that you have delayed your night watch." In general cities, there will be officials patrolling the night at night. I asked on purpose, just to draw out the following question about the haunting of demons at night and the elimination of demons by thunder.

Sure enough, while leading us to the inn, he followed my words: "That's not true. We don't need people to watch the night in Leizhou City."

"There are monsters all over, don't you need people to watch the night? Don't you just rely on Thunder God to get rid of monsters?" I pretended to be puzzled.

The official said with a smile: "You don't know that. The reason why our place is called Leizhou really has something to do with Leigong. Originally, we didn't call Leizhou here and there were very few thunderstorms, but since 20 years ago, thunderbolts often occur. Phenomenon. It was clear that there was not even a cloud in the sky, and suddenly a series of thunder struck. Later, the thunder during the day gradually disappeared, but there were often lightning and thunder at night, and everyone speculated whether it was the manifestation of thunder. Master Yun A notice was also posted asking everyone to close doors and windows at night and not to go out for no reason. I heard that even the emperor was alarmed by this anecdote. Later, our place was renamed Leizhou. Since about five years ago, there are sometimes monsters in our place at night Come to cause trouble, but fortunately, Thunder God struck the monster to death. Gradually, there were more and more such things. Master Yun was afraid that people would die if they encountered monsters or Thunder God, so he imposed stricter curfew measures, even our Officials are exempted from night patrols." At this point, he seemed puzzled and continued, "The incidents of monsters have become more and more frequent in recent months. The tower collapse had something to do with it."

We exchanged glances calmly, there are demons here at night, and there are thunderbolts.It seems that the Thunder Spirit Orb is indeed in Leizhou City, which attracts the covetousness of monsters, causing Leizhou to be full of demons, and the Thunder Spirit Orb has spirituality and is likely to be in the hands of someone, so there will be a lightning strike monster things.It's just that since the Lei Lingzhu is in someone's hands, why did thunderbolts often appear in the clear sky when there were no demons in Leizhou 20 years ago?Isn't this clearly telling those caring people or caring monsters that Lei Lingzhu is in Leizhou City?

As we were talking, when we saw the entrance of the inn, the official said goodbye to us.We went into the inn and asked the shopkeeper to open two rooms. Because we had been together for a long time and had experienced several vicious fights together, Xuejian didn't quarrel with Xiaokui anymore.

The shopkeeper saw that we were not locals, and specifically instructed: "Are you foreigners? Be careful! Don't go out at night, there are many monsters, and there are thunderbolts, you will get hurt if you are not careful!"

Xue Jian was always proud, and she had heard the official mention this matter just now, so she didn't take it seriously: "We are not afraid!"

The shopkeeper thought we didn't believe it, so he pulled us a long way to persuade: "Little girl! I'm not bluffing you, please, please don't go out! I saw it once under the window edge, a two-person tall The goblin was completely wiped out by the lightning! This is no joke—if you don’t listen to the old man’s words, you’ll suffer right before your eyes!”

Xuejian thought he was nagging, so she simply turned her back.I heard the shopkeeper say that I had peeked at it, so I hurriedly asked: "Then, can you see how that thunder came?"

"How did it come about? Of course it was Thunder from Heaven." The shopkeeper looked at me blankly, as if he didn't understand why I would ask such an obvious question, "Who else could it be if it wasn't Lei Gong? Could it be someone who sent it?"

It seemed that he was also ignorant, so we didn't ask any further.After a simple dinner in the hotel lobby, we went back to our rooms to rest.Originally, this dormitory had one room for boys and one room for girls, so there was nothing to dispute.But where Jing Jing sleeps has become a problem. Although he is a very childish male monkey, he is a male who has lived for more than 300 years. What will you do, and even if this is ancient times, no one would think that a male monkey sleeping in the same room with a girl will affect the girl's reputation, but I still feel awkward that I can't say it.But let him go to that room to sleep with Sedum, and he refused because he was afraid of Senior Brother Changqing, so naturally he insisted on sleeping with the three of us girls.

Although I didn't say anything to Xuejian and Xiaokui, even when I secretly discussed with Jingjing about where he should sleep in private, I just asked him if he would like to sleep in the same room with his cheap apprentice Jingtian, so as to improve the mentoring and apprenticeship. emotion.He cut me off with a straightforward sentence, "Aren't you afraid that the kid surnamed Xu will find out that there is something abnormal about me and kill me with a sword?" Well, what more can I say.Unexpectedly, the little guy Jingjing was very smart, and he guessed my discomfort. As soon as the three of us took him into the house, he found a cabinet and got in, saying that he was already tired after all the hard work. He went to bed first, and said that he was not used to sleeping with the lights on, and told us not to disturb him before we went out tomorrow morning.

Because of the discomfort of the boat ride, Xiaokui lay down and fell asleep as soon as she entered the house.Xuejian has been busy preparing poisonous gentian since she got on the boat, and she doesn't sleep for a long time every day. Seeing that the raw materials are almost used up, and the first batch of poisonous gentian has been successfully prepared, the sleepiness of the past few days has come together Come, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

As a result, I was the only one left who couldn’t fall asleep. I’ve been sleeping on the boat for the past half month. I’ve gotten used to the turbulence of the river and the sound of the mooring water.I think I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go to the roof of the inn to have a look, maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet that mysterious Lei Gong tonight.

As soon as I came out of the house, I hesitated again. Who knows who this Thunder God is? If he is actually a guy who randomly throws thunder, will he chop me up?No matter how peculiar my bloodline is, I am not an insulator, but this is my physical body that can actually conduct electricity!

After such a moment of hesitation, the door of Jingtian's room opened, and Senior Brother Changqing stepped out.I was stunned for a moment, and said hello: "Brother, can't you sleep too?"

Senior Brother Changqing didn’t speak, but just gestured to me and told me to follow him, and I followed him to the corner of the stairs, there is no room here, we don’t have to worry about being heard, and we don’t have to worry about what we want to say. Worried about disturbing other guests' sleep.

After Senior Brother Changqing stood still, he looked at me very seriously, which made me nervous.He said: "I heard you coming out, so I came out to have a look. What are you doing out?"

The author has something to say: today's update

Supplement the knowledge of poisonous gentian: poisonous gentian, a specialty of Tangmen, can be taken to detoxify any poison, but if there is no poisoning, take it and die immediately

Leizhou City is located in the southeast corner of Yujianfei's big map, which is the place on the lower right facing the sea, and there are plants like coconut trees in the city, so I think it is a subtropical climate. Those who like geography should not be too picky. Although I am a liberal arts student, my geography sucks...

Xu Changqing held back for so long, and finally couldn't bear to have a showdown with Yingying
