Lanke Chess Edge

Chapter 19 Real and Trance

Ji Yuan is now thinking, if he can go down the mountain to guarantee his life, he can find a way to protect his own life, and then see if he can heal his eyes, or if he can go to some place where he cultivates immortals.

Of course, he really wanted to find out what happened to Lu Shanjun when he just left, and what happened to the flashing image of the chess piece.

Ji Yuan felt that it was most likely related to the previous bad chess game, and it might even be the key to his survival in this world.

The mountain wind blew past, and after a little relaxation, Ji Yuan was a little drowsy.

I don't know if he didn't notice it before, or it was a change after he came to this world, Ji Yuan suddenly felt that his ability to withstand pressure was quite strong.

………………

The group of people rested by the stream for about fifteen minutes. After recovering some physical strength, and someone helped the four injured people to adjust their breathing again, they set out on the road again.

This time, he rushed down the mountain in one breath.

In Narcissus Town, a watchman and two men in rural uniforms were shuttling through the quiet streets and alleys. One of them was holding a clapper, the other was carrying a gong, and the other was carrying a lantern.

"Boom...boom boom boom~"

The sound of the bamboo clapper was one slow and three fast.

"Four more~~~"

"Boom...boom boom boom~"

"Four more~~~"

………………

After wandering around, looking at the quiet street, the three of them tightened their clothes and planned to go back, chatting along the way.

"Yesterday, during the daytime, I heard that some people from the rivers and lakes went up the mountain."

"What are you going to do?"

"It seems that the list of the county government has been revealed, and I went to Niu Kuishan to kill the big bug!"

"ah?"

The watchman holding the clapper was a little nervous.

"Do they dare to enter the mountain at this time? I heard from those old hunters who sell goods that the tigers in this mountain are not simple tigers, they are probably mature. Even those old hunters dare not stay on the mountain at night."

"Hey, isn't that an exaggeration?"

"It's better to believe it!"

A few people were talking about the topic, and suddenly felt that the weather was getting colder, and their pace couldn't help but quicken a lot.

When they walked to the end of the street and prepared to take a turn, one of them suddenly saw a group of people approaching in the distance, and it was Lu Chengfeng and others who had returned.

"There are people over there!"

When it was a little closer, the huge white tiger skin made several people's foreheads feel cold.

………………

At dawn the next day, the news of Niu Kuishan's evil tiger's death spread centered around Narcissus Town, and the Ning'an County Government immediately dispatched arresting officials to Narcissus Town to check.

This year is not the age of information technology, where a rich man takes a concubine is a big gossip. There are knights who go to the mountain to punish the man-eating tiger. It is Niu Kuishan who was rumored to be a tiger spirit before. Tiger, how hot is it?

All of a sudden, people in Ning'an County, which has a simple folk customs, a county seat under its jurisdiction, twenty-two villages of all sizes, and a market town at the foot of the mountain, all quickly knew how many knights had succeeded in killing tigers on the mountain, and many people even rushed to go Narcissus Town watched the excitement, but unfortunately most of them rushed to nothing, because people had already rushed to Ning'an County.

A bloody white tiger skin was finally given to the Ning'an County Government by nine young knights. The magistrate of Ning'an was worthy of being a good official in the eyes of the people. Outside the scholar, he took out seventy taels of silver as money to buy the precious white tiger skin.

………………

The time was the second day after the return of the nine knights, and it was also the first day when the tiger skin arrived at the Ning'an County Government.

In the county government hall, a large white tiger skin with dried blood but still smelling bad was placed on a table of the Eight Immortals.

The tiger's skin peeled off extremely smoothly, and the head, claws, body and tail did not fall off.

"Oh...the teeth are all there!"

"Oh, look at this tiger's mouth, it's bigger than my head!"

"How many people have eaten this thing!"

"Oh my god, it's too scary. I heard that this tiger is about to become a sperm!"

"That's right, it's a good thing I killed it now, otherwise I really can't tell!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Those knights are not only good at martial arts, but also ruthless!"

"That's right, the injuries of the four injured people are more serious than the last one. It's scary to look at! Doctor Tong, the best doctor in the county, said that it's thanks to the Jianghu masters, otherwise they would have died a long time ago!"

Some fast-moving yamen servants and civil servants and bookkeepers surrounded the tiger skin and marveled.

County magistrate Chen Sheng and county captain Zhu Yanxu also stood aside with smiles on their faces.

"Hahahahaha, my lord, now that the evil tiger has been eliminated, it can be regarded as a big concern for our Ning'an County."

"That's right! County Captain Laozhu will find some good hunters and tan this tiger skin well. I plan to display it at the Ning'an County Yamen for ten days to reassure the people!"

"Good regards, my lord!"

Ning'an County relies on mountains to eat mountains. In addition to the basic cultivation of the world, the rich Niukui Mountain is also a treasure of Ning'an County. Getting rid of the evil tiger is not a trivial matter. The local gentry simply took this opportunity to organize a temple fair.

………………

The injuries of the four injured have been stabilized.

After the wounds of Yan Fei and Luo Ningshuang were sutured, golden sore medicine was applied, and then two pairs of medicines for regulating qi and blood were taken down, combined with real qi to regulate breath, the problem was not a big deal.

Zhao Long, who was whipped by the tiger's tail, was mainly injured internally, but he has a good foundation in hard skills, so there is no serious problem.

It's just that although Du Heng's arm has undergone bone setting, the inner muscles and bones are actually broken. In Dr. Tong's words, if you are lucky, you can eat with chopsticks, but it is impossible to lift a knife.

What is Ji Yuan doing during this time?

In addition to repeatedly trying to induce whether I have any special abilities, the biggest thing is to take a bath!

I don't know how long the old owner of the body hasn't been washed by this poor beggar. Anyway, I asked the innkeeper to change three tanks of bath water, and rubbed the old mud off my body for several rounds. After washing, not only did I feel a lot lighter, even my skin color changed. To put it bluntly, it was truly terrifying!

………………

On the third day of staying in Yunlai, after tidying up and changing his clothes, Ji Yuan finally felt that he could see people.

This morning, Lu Chengfeng was walking around Ning'an County with Ji Yuan, planning to find a quiet house where Ji Yuan could settle down.

Whether to rent or buy, let’s talk about it.

The current Ji Yuan thinks that he doesn't know enough about this world, so it's better not to rush around.

As for where the money came from, the Ning'an County Government has one hundred and fifty taels of silver. The nine young heroes said that they should give the money to the real deserving person, which is just a matter of fate.

This kind of thing, Ji Yuan casually shirked it twice and then accepted it, it really deserves it, right?

Knowing that ordinary people's annual expenses are only a few taels of silver, and buying a private house is only a few dozen taels, Ji Yuan is still more inclined to buy a house in Ning'an County, which is said to have a good reputation among parents and officials.

He is alone, and his requirements are not high. He doesn't need to go in and out frequently. The place is quiet, with an independent yard, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a hut.

Changing out of the beggar's clothes, Ji Yuan's appearance after cleaning and tidying up is gentle, a little thin and a little slender, wearing a Lun scarf on his head, although Ji Yuan can't see clearly, he thinks he should look decent.

Lu Chengfeng is not a local, so it is his duty to accompany Mr. Ji, but to find a house, he still needs local bosses, so they are accompanied by a middle-aged man who is a broker.

In the past few days, the county has been very lively, because many people came here to see the publicized man-eating tiger skin, because it is still a rare white tiger skin, people flock to it even more, and with the addition of temple fairs, there are even people in the nearby Linxian County. Come.

Ji Yuan is not purely for housing, but also has the idea of ​​seeing this place.

At this moment, the streets are also bustling with pedestrians, directly making the county town as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Ji Yuan's feeling is very novel now, even though his eyesight is bad, but his high recognition of voices makes him listen to all kinds of discussions, jokes, bargaining, and even some quarrels on the street.

"Candied haws~~~candied haws~~"

"The finest calico and the finest satin!!"

"Rouge gouache, sell rouge gouache!"

"Carved pen holders, sandalwood, agarwood, and pear blossoms are all available. Let's take a look at the Four Treasures of the Study!"

...

Whether it is a fixed storefront or a street stall, there are guys shouting from time to time, after all, the city is very lively these two days

I thought it would be too noisy for my ears, but I didn't expect Ji Yuan to find that he didn't feel irritable at all, instead his mind became more sensitive.

Ji Yuan's eyes are only opened a little, and it will be very sore after a long time of opening, but the miracle is that even with this kind of vision, he walks no differently from ordinary people.

As they walked, they stopped in front of the shop of the Four Treasures of the Study. There were two booths outside the shop, and there were also various copywriting supplies on them. A clerk stood outside the shop and greeted them.

"Guest officer, take a look at this pen holder. It's a well-known stationery in Ning'an County. It's made of high-quality yellow wood. It's crafted by a master craftsman. The carvings are so fine that dignitaries like it!"

Lu Chengfeng's well-dressed clothes are more elegant, while Ji Yuan looks very dignified even though he is plainly dressed, he doesn't look like a master who is short of money. As for the broker, he is regarded as a servant.

Ji Yuan’s eyes could only see a blurry dark yellow when looking at the pen holder, and it was useless to open his eyes a little wider, so he had to squat down and reach out to grope carefully. , and try to listen to the sound of fingerprints rubbing against the pen holder.

This process made the pen holder vivid in my mind.

'This TM craftsmanship is too exquisite! '

There are landscapes and characters on this pen holder, and the dense pictures and texts are so lifelike that the characters even reminded him of the text He Zhou Ji.

Ji Yuan was just curious to see the craftsmanship here, but he was amazed.

The dazzling array of vendors, the wandering pedestrians, the hustle and bustle around, and the fineness of these small handicrafts, etc., give Ji Yuan a rich and real feeling, and he can smell a breath of life. The joys and sorrows of the businessmen.

Ji Yuan slowly opened his sore eyes, and was in a trance. Only then did he truly accept the reality that he was no longer in the original time and space world.
