Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

In the 41st year of Jiajing, a few fish jumped out of the water by the Jiuqu River in the rocky valley of Wuyi Mountain, bringing up a bend of water drops, which reflected the melting gold of the setting sun, and also reflected the year of the weak crown with sleeves tied and a harpoon held man.There is a little bookishness in the sharp-edged fortitude, and the corners of the eyes and brows are full of smiles.A yellow-haired puppy beside him also flopped in the water with him. After finally holding one down, it escaped again, and the fish tail patted the water on its head and face.

The man in ocher clothes saw it, couldn't help smiling, threw the forked fish into the bamboo basket, and called out "Wangwei", the little guy immediately swung his tail and hopped over, the man touched his wet little head and said "Going back", Wang Wei immediately jumped to the bank and swung the water, the appearance of trembling belly is really cute.

He was smiling when he heard someone call him, turned around and saw two boys with flushed faces running towards each other with a melon in their arms, and when they arrived, they put down the melon and saluted: "Sir! Mother asked us to bring melons. "

"Thank you Aunt Zhang for me!"

The two brothers agreed and ran away, and the sound of laughter was sent into the quiet distance of the sky by the evening bell.These two children are male students. His real name is Lu Zijing. He is the only son of an official family. The remaining property was renamed "Jiang Bin" and lived here in seclusion. He taught and taught on weekdays, but he didn't collect money. He only collected some fruits and vegetables, and his life was leisurely.

It is a pity that such a talent has been buried, but Jiang Bin only smiled. His mother told him not to repeat the same mistakes before she hanged herself, and he would not Jumping into the fire pit, after all, the tranquility and comfort of today are all bought by his family, how dare he take a chance?

Walking back with Wangwei shaking his head, he was stopped by a little Taoist priest he knew well halfway: "I see that Mr. Yingtang turned black, it seems to be haunted by some monster..."

Jiang Bin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the Taoist priest is worrying too much. There is nothing unusual these days."

The little Taoist counted his fingers, but still frowned and said: "No, Mister must have something..."

Jiang Bin smiled and left on his own.

The little Taoist priest, who is known as "Em Taoist Priest", was worried, and followed Jiang Bin secretly.

Jiang Bin's house is a few miles away from the entrance of the village. There is a towering old locust tree in the yard. At the beginning, he also settled in this place because of this old locust tree. There was a curl of smoke.Jiang Bin sighed and pushed open the door, Wang Wei jumped in first and wanted to play in the mud in the vegetable field in the backyard, but was picked up and hugged in his arms.

"You're back!" The man in the blue robe smiled as warmly as jade, as if he had known Jiang Bin for many years, but Jiang Bin only felt a little helpless when he saw him.

This snake demon, since he moved here, has been dragging his family to visit him every three days, saying that he has an unfinished fate in his previous life, and he is quite concerned about it.At this time, Jiang Bin could already smell the aroma of food coming from the stove, and there must be a chessboard on his stone table, and there must be a noble prince sitting beside the chessboard.I don't know which dynasty this prince is from, his heir who will never grow up always calls him father, and he is also very ambiguous with that snake demon.Fortunately, he doesn't talk much, and he always brings some rare and exotic fruits to play a game of chess with Jiang Bin and chat a few words, which is much better than that snake demon who always loves to joke.Jiang Bin also couldn't see what their intentions were. He had never seen the snake demon who claimed to be Wu Jie use any demonic skills, and he got used to their visits over time. The only thing that concerned him was that after they left, he I can't remember the appearance of that prince.

After a while of burning incense, the mouth-watering dishes were brought to the table one by one by the little prince Zhu Mengyu. Although he always looked like a child, he spoke very maturely, as if he lived longer than Jiang Bin.Wu Jie took the dishes and put them on the table one by one, so Jiang Bin had no choice but to go in and get the dishes and chopsticks.In this weather, my back is soaked after just walking like this, but looking at the other three who came uninvited, they didn't even sweat a drop.

"Do you want to have a meal together?"

Sitting at the stone table, Wu Jie's sudden words startled the "Daoist Elm" who had been hiding under the shade of the tree and poking around. Unexpectedly, he saw through it, and his thin face immediately looked like a layer of rouge, he jumped out and pointed at Wu Jie: "You...you snake monster! Don't pester the master anymore! Otherwise, I..."

Seeing his calm appearance, Wu Jie started to tease him: "I'm not the only one pestering him. He is a reincarnation of a fairy. If he eats his soul, he can grow the inner alchemy. Daoist priest, do you want a share?"

The little Taoist priest had never heard such brazen words, and he became angry from embarrassment: "You monster! Stop talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, he took out the three-pronged bell on his waist with one hand and the mahogany sword behind his back with the other, vowing to fight Wu Jie.

Jiang Bin didn't expect this to happen again, and wanted to stop it, but he saw Wu Jie casually raised his chopsticks a little, and in an instant, the little Taoist priest who didn't know what to do or what to do flew into the air and disappeared.The three-pronged bell fell to the ground with a "dang", and Jiang Bin looked at Wu Jie as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"I just sent him back to the Taoist temple." Wu Jie's pair of chopsticks landed on the fish maw, picked out a piece of tender meat and put it into the little prince's bowl.

"He's just getting a little blunt, so don't argue with him." Jiang Bin knew that Wu Jie's words were true, but he was still a little worried about that stubborn little Taoist priest.

"He has a 'destined person' to clean it up, so it's not my turn to bother." Wu Jie picked up another piece of fish maw, put it in his prince's bowl, and then tapped Jiang Bin with his chopsticks, "It's you, you should worry about yourself Go! In a few days, your enemy will come to your door!"

At this place, the little Taoist fell down with an ouch, rubbed his back and sat up, but saw that he had landed outside the gate of his own Taoist temple.It was already dark, and the little Taoist thought angrily, brushing off the dust from his body, he must protect Jiang Bin thoroughly, and never let the monsters eat his soul.In ten days' time, it will be the Ghost Festival. The gates of ghosts are wide open, and the Yin Qi is overwhelming. If they really want to harm Jiang Bin, they will definitely choose that day to strike.

Having made up his mind, the little Taoist priest followed Jiang Bin every day, for fear that he might make mistakes.

On this day, Jiang Bin went to the private school halfway up the mountain to give lessons to the students as usual.Listening to them reciting the book shaking their heads, the sound of cicadas outside the window hooked his thoughts out... These days, he has always been a little out of his mind, as if there is a rock hanging in his heart, pulling and falling, and he can't sleep well at night. There seemed to be eyes always on him.

When he returned with the setting sun, the haze that followed him made him stop in front of the creek unbearably, turned around and said loudly: "I have been with me for a few days, I don't know if it was Jiang who offended me first, could you please come now?" See you?"

The little Taoist was startled, thinking that Jiang Bin had discovered his whereabouts, and was dawdling in thinking about his excuses, when he saw a man with undressed and sleeves appearing in front of Jiang Bin out of thin air on a fire phoenix transformed by spiritual power.

Star crown, Zhu Lu, seven-star golden sword worn on the waist, and Yusi Nan Pei.That domineering, condescending glance seemed to crush everything in front of him into the mud.

The little Taoist was stunned, and Jiang Bin was also stunned.Who would have expected that the person who had been with him for a few days would be such a worthless person?

He remembered the "enemy" that Wu Jie mentioned a few days ago, bowed his head in a safe manner and said: "Jiang is just an ordinary person, who offended the immortal?"

Those frivolous phoenix eyes looked at Jiang Bin coldly, and Jiang Bin only felt that the place where his gaze passed was hot, as if he had been burned.

"You really don't remember?"

Jiang Bin was questioned inexplicably. He raised his eyes a little and looked at the swirls on the sleeves: "Jiang doesn't know what the immortal said."

As soon as Yinghuo Xingjun flicked his sleeves, Huofeng turned into the sunset glow in the sky in an instant.The red light around him gradually faded and fell in front of Jiang Bin, looking down at his lowered eyes: "You stole a treasure from me."

treasure?

Wu Jie once mentioned Jiang Bin's past life, saying that he owed a lot of debts.As for what kind of debt it is, it never mentions it.Jiang Bin wondered, this Immortal Venerable probably came to him in this life to repay the injustice he committed in his previous life, right?

"Jiang really can't remember. If the immortals don't believe it, they can lower their dignity and go to the humble house to investigate."

So, Jiang Bin led the immortal who called himself Huode Yinghuo Xingjun home. Yinghuo Xingjun stopped casting spells along the way, and walked slowly with him, but his eyes were always fixed on his sweaty neck.

Arriving at the courtyard, Yinghuo Xingjun was not in a hurry to find the scarlet jade ring, walked around and looked around, and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard: "Why is there no waiter?"

Jiang Bin misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly smashed the tea cakes he had collected to make tea for Yinghuo Xingjun.After tossing a lot of effort, he poured the boiled tea soup into the poor bowl, held it carefully and turned around, only to see Yinghuo Xingjun staring at him from a step away.

Jiang Bin was startled, he spilled a little hot tea and let go of his hand, but the bowl was fixed in mid-air.He lowered his eyes, watching the fiery red swirls covering his gradually reddened palms, giving rise to bursts of coolness and shocking intimacy, the pain dissipated, but waves arose again.It wasn't until the hand covering him left that Jiang Bin's heart fell back into his stomach again.

"Thank you Xianzun...you can find the scarlet jade ring?" Jiang Bin stared at Yusi Nanpei who was dangling tassels and asked with lowered eyebrows.

After waiting for quite a while, I heard Yinghuo Xingjun say coldly: "If I can't find it, I won't be able to forgive you."

But what makes Jiang Bin dumbfounded is that this "can't get around" is nothing more than coming to his house every now and then to ask for a bowl of tea, and they all avoid the visits of Wu Jie and the prince and his son, as if it is tacit understanding.

On the day before the Hungry Ghost Festival, the face of the taciturn Yinghuo Xingjun was always covered with a haze, and Jiang Bin did not see him take a sip of the tea served.Jiang Bin held Wang Wei and sat across from him, and looked at him quietly.These days, he became more and more "presumptuous" towards this Yinghuo Xingjun, because he always felt that the "red jade ring" was just an excuse, and this Xingjun seemed to have forgotten his "original intention".

"Wu Jie asked you to ask me, why didn't you ask?"

When the tea was completely cool, this sudden sentence seemed to be mixed with some bitterness of the tea.

The movements in Jiang Bin's hands paused, and he thought that this Yinghuo Xingjun and Wu Jie knew each other, but how should he answer this question?He really couldn't remember anything.

Yinghuo Xingjun didn't seem to need his answer, he just said to himself: "In the previous life, I dispersed my soul before I died, just to protect you alive. Because of this, I don't remember all the things in the previous life, but the soul is still alive. When we returned to the Heavenly Court, we turned into my previous life appearance, and insisted that I want to return to my original spirit and continue my relationship with you... I hate that I have ever been in love with you, and I hate that I was unable to extricate myself. I He didn't want to be that ridiculous appearance again, so he destroyed that soul with one palm... Before he disappeared, he gave me the scarlet jade ring, saying that he wanted me to live forever in the regret of not being able to ask for it In... I became enchanted because of this."
