Chapter 68: The Darkness of the Deserted Island (3)

Mei Shi was so ugly that there were so many constables, so he couldn't help but feel nervous and said, "Then... those tolerances were not here to catch us, right?"

Zhu Qingsheng held Kui's parasol tightly and said slowly: "I guess so, but now there is nothing I can do. The boat has sunk and we have no way out."

Zhan Li looked at the two constables surrounding the shore, as if two fire snakes were swimming, slowly surrounding the island, and pondered: "No matter what they are here for, in short, we will let them see that there will definitely be no good things. Now we have no choice but to meet them. Let's walk from the mountain this time."

Mei Shi looked at the dark woods behind him, with no light at all, and was very nervous: "Why don't we change the road? This island is quite big, and they won't find us easily."

Zhan Li said: "Brother Mei, it's so dark, I don't want to go up the mountain, but look at these constables, there are more than 30 people, and we can't beat them. Besides, there is the Jinyiwei. As long as any of them sees us and shouts loudly, no one of us can escape and can only go up the mountain."

Zhu Qingsheng was unwilling to go up the mountain in his heart. It was too dangerous to walk the mountain road at night, and it was on a deserted island, but there was no way at the moment, and he said, "I said don't hesitate, let's go quickly, and they will find out that it's really done."

Hearing this, Mei Shinan was reluctant to do so, so he could only be willing. I believe that those constables with bright blades would rather take advantage of the darkness to hang out on the mountain.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Zhan Li said, "Since that's the case, let's go, remember, don't let them discover it." He then walked up the mountain first, and pulled out the black bat fork and stood in front of him to prevent any accidents.

Zhu Qingsheng followed closely behind. The mountain in front of him was overgrown with weeds. In some places, there were still muddy areas. Some grass leaves and branches were scattered on it, and they were even more slippery. Often, if you don’t have a foothold, you will be slipped once. However, what’s more important is that the darkness that covers you in front of you can’t see anything when you walk into the woods. You can only barely see the back of the previous person.

Mei Shinan followed Zhu Qingsheng. Seeing that the mountain was extremely quiet and extremely dark, she could only hear the sound of plucking weeds and the occasionally shouts from the constables below. The endless darkness around him surged towards him. She felt better after holding Zhu Qingsheng's shoulder with one hand.

Zhu Qingsheng felt that he was nervous. In fact, he was also nervous and worried, but there was no way. This road must be taken, otherwise the constables would be found. He also felt that the three of them were walking in the woods without saying a word, which was too depressing. He thought about the topic in his mind and said, "Let me tell you a story. This incident was a long time ago. He said that there was a scholar who wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam and passed by a small dilapidated temple at night..."

Mei Shinan shouted: "It's a scholar again! Is it time to go to Beijing to take the exam again! Is there a female ghost waiting for him? Do you have to be his wife or a concubine in the future? I haven't heard this old story a thousand times, and it's eight hundred times."

Zhu Qingsheng was quite embarrassed and said, "My story is different from them. Listen to me. I just said that when the scholar saw it was still late, he went to the dilapidated temple to spend the night. It turned out that someone lived in the dilapidated temple first. He was a big man with an open belly. He was wearing banana fans that were more than one tall, so he didn't feel that it hurt his bones."

Speaking of this, Zhan Li was also attracted by him and listened to him.

Zhu Qingsheng looked at the road and said, "This scholar was a scholar who had studied. He disturbed the man and then prepared it in a corner of the dilapidated temple. He took out the candle and the fire broke out of his backpack. After lit it, he took out another book of the Book of Songs and watched it page by page under the candlelight."

Mei Shi said: "This scholar is very hard to work hard. If I were me, let alone reading books, I would not take a book."

Zhan Li smiled and said, "This is the life of these scholars. If you don't let them read books, they will be anxious about you."

Zhu Qingsheng continued: "Brother Zhan is right. When the man saw him take out the book and read it with relish, he said disdainfully: 'It's a scholar. What's the use of reading this book?' When the scholar heard this, he was just for himself. He got angry and ignored him and continued to read it. After a while, the man shouted again: 'Reading books to death, and studying hard, what's the use of reading this book?'"

"When the scholar heard this, he thought that this man was so rude. I was studying here, and I was not worried about his affairs. He immediately carried his body over and still looked at the book. After a while, the man shouted again, "I just hug the Buddha's feet and forget it in a blink of an eye. What's the use of reading this book?" The scholar heard him say this again and again, and cursed himself in a curse of his bad words. He couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the book and stood up and shouted angrily: "What do you guy care about my little business? Can you sleep honestly?"

"The man pretended to be very surprised and said, "I'm talking about my own, why are you anxious?" The scholar shouted, "But you disturbed me, didn't you see me studying here?" The man quickly apologized, "Then you read yours, I promise I will never disturb you again." The scholar sat down angrily, and was about to pick up the book, but he heard the man say, "If you don't calm down when reading, what's the use of reading this book?"

"The scholar could no longer bear it. He slapped the table with a palm and shouted angrily: 'What do you want to do? You say that studying is useless, so find something useful for me.' The man laughed: 'Don't you study just to get fame and fortune? Isn't you just going to get fame and fortune for money? Come on, look at it, I'll let you see what's useless here.' After that, he stretched out his palm and touched the table next to him. A golden light flashed, and the table suddenly turned into a golden table."

Zhan Li has been traveling around the world for many years. When he heard this, he seemed to know who Zhu Qingsheng was talking about. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and did not point it out.

Zhu Qingsheng continued, "The scholar was stunned. The man laughed: 'How is my useless ability?' This time the scholar knew that he had met an immortal, so he knelt down and kowtow..."

Before he finished speaking, Mei Shinan pulled him down and said quickly: "How did that man turn the table into gold? Tell me quickly." Mei Shinan has always been very interested in money and food. When he heard Zhu Qingsheng say this, how could he hold back?

Zhu Qingsheng thought to himself: How could I know how to make stones into gold? I just heard it. But I couldn't say this directly, so I had to say: "That's it, you're ready." After that, he stretched out his right hand and touched it forward.

Mei Shinan was about to touch his palm forward, but suddenly she felt a chill of her neck and something was resting on his neck again.

He thought it was a branch or something, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. The thing on his neck was cold and round, and there were more than one, as if there were three long and two short.

It was a person's hand, a cold hand, stuck between his neck behind him.
