Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 166 The Scholar
"You want to catch me? I'll go down to the bottom of the pond myself later and see how many tricks you have!" Ding Ermiao became angrier as he listened. He raised his hand and struck with another thunderbolt from his palm.

boom--!
The water splashed up, reflecting the red light.

Wang Huzi didn't dare to take the move, so he fell back and fell upside down into the water.A moment later, he showed his head from a distance and shouted at Ding Ermiao: "A dignified Maoshan disciple actually launched a sneak attack, shameless, shameless!"

"Fart! I just want to give you a warning first. If you want to make a sneak attack, you won't come to lock Longtan in a big way!" Ding Ermiao scolded: "Only you lingering ghosts can do sneak attacks. Otherwise, you wouldn't have done it before. Such tricks!"

Wang Huzi smoothed his long beard with his hand and said in an old-fashioned way: "Ding Ermiao, there's no need to talk nonsense. I'll see the real chapter under my hand. I'll wait for you at the bottom of the pond!"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst the hearty laughter, a man emerged from the water next to Wang Huzi without any warning.

The man was 30 years old, with a fair complexion, a bright forehead, a blue cloth gown, and a big braid hanging down his waist.But he was dressed like a scholar from the Qing Dynasty, holding a folding fan, and his expression was very elegant and a little proud.

The scholar smiled at Wang Huzi and said: "Brother Huzi, it has been more than 100 years, and your temper is still so bad! It doesn't matter whether he is a disciple of Maoshan or a cat or a dog. Everyone here is a guest. How can you neglect Mr. Ding like this?"

After that, before Wang Huzi could say anything, the scholar closed his folding fan again, bowed his hands towards Ding Ermiao, and said, "Master said, how happy is it to have friends from far away? When Mr. Ding comes to Suolongtan, he is really flamboyant." Piper brings brilliance. Liang Liang, a poor scholar, is so polite—!"

"Empress?" Ding Ermiao clasped his hands and laughed: "I think you are weak and lacking in prowess. You don't look like an empress or a scholar, but more like a father-in-law! You used to serve the Hesheli family, the Niu Hulu family, and the Guo Luoluo family. ah?"

Just now, the sour scholar mocked him as a cat and a dog, and Ding Ermiao now responded tit-for-tat, calling him a eunuch and father-in-law, which was considered revenge.

"No, no, this Liang Liang is not that empress. If you miss it even a little bit, you will be wrong by a thousand miles. Mr. Ding is very wrong, and he is wrong by a thousand miles."

The scholar ghost unfolded his folding fan and shook it gently, and said loudly: "Beams are pillars, bridges, and weirs. The poem goes, "Build a bridge as a beam, and do not show its light, that is the meaning of a bridge." The poem also goes, "Never fade away." I am a beam, don't give me a scorpion, it means a dike."

Having said this, the scholar pointed at the water surface of Suolongtan with his folding fan and added: "Suolongtan is also a dike and a beam for Mr. Ding."

"Don't you find it annoying to be so long-winded?" Ding Ermiao waved his hand and said: "Rabbits enter through dog sinuses, and pheasants fly from beams. After all, isn't it just the beam of a gentleman and the beam of a clown?!"

"Yes, yes!" The scholar ghost clapped his hands and laughed, and then said: "My surname is Liang Liang, and the name Liang also has a meaning. A good sword is expected to be broken, but it is not expected to be broken; a good horse is expected to travel thousands of miles. Don't expect it to be a good one; a good person is a sharp weapon in the world and a hero in the world!"

Seeing the scholar ghost's triumphant look, Wan Shugao was dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "You are so awesome. How high was your rank during your lifetime? How many concubines did you marry? How much gold and silver did you accumulate? Why did you fall into the water? Drowned in?"

"The fortunes are bad and the fate is unpredictable, so Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal! Liang Liangkong has a lot of economics and beautiful articles, but he has never met Bole in his life. This is a life-long regret." The scholar ghost turned red, closed his folding fan, and said :

"That day I was reciting poems and writing poems by the pond, but unexpectedly I was dragged into the pond by a kid. I thought, the world is not a pure land anyway, so I might as well live at the bottom of the pond, which would be a happy life."

"Don't blame the ghosts and gods for making bad plans." Ding Ermiao sneered and said, "You are destined to have no chance of wealth, longevity, fame, and fortune, so there is no point in blaming the ghosts and gods. That's how you end up if you are good but bad!"

The scholar's eyes were full of surprise, and he cupped his hands towards Ding Ermiao and said, "It turns out that Mr. Ding also reads poetry and books, and he is a fellow student. How lucky are you to meet him today?"

"Who is the same as you? I am a human and you are a ghost!" Ding Ermiao still sneered.

Wang Huzi listened impatiently and shouted: "Confucius farts, his literary spirit is as high as the sky. I will go back to the bottom of the pool first to save myself from being sour that my stomach will water!"

After saying that, the water splashed and he was gone.

The scholar ghost once again handed over to Ding Ermiao: "Liang Liang resigned and prepared wine at the bottom of the pool. I also asked Mr. Ding to move over."

Ding Ermiao waved his hand: "Wash your neck, and I'll behead you later!"

"Liang Liang is waiting!" The scholar laughed, slowly sank into the water, and disappeared.

The fishing boat docked was exactly where Ding Ermiao and others had explored the road a few days ago.Lu Kaijun lowered the anchor and tied the fishing boat to the willow tree on the shore with a rope. Only then did he feel relieved and his face returned to a little normal.

Li Weinian looked at Wu Zhanzhan's face and said anxiously: "Brother Ermiao, Wu Zhanzhan's life is at stake, what should we do now?"

"Don't rush! I'll arrange it first, and then I'll go into the water and get my junior sister's soul."

When things came to a close, Ding Ermiao calmed down. He directed Wan Shugao and Lu Kaijun to carry Wu Zhanzhan into the cabin and put him on the small bed.

Wu Zhanzhan was motionless and did not look like a living person at all.

Ding Ermiao sighed, took out three golden needles from his backpack, and pierced Wu Zhanzhan's forehead and shoulders respectively.Then, he took out three copper coins, the holes of which passed through the gold needles, and placed them on Wu Zhanzhan's forehead and shoulders.

This is the same as the life lamp summoning souls just now. As long as Wu Zhanzhan's soul escapes from the bottom of the pool, it will naturally follow the guidance and enter the body.

"You all wait for me on the shore. I'll go into the water first." Ding Ermiao arranged everything and asked everyone to take good care of Wu Zhanzhan before turning around and going into the water.

Li Weinian grabbed Ding Ermiao and said, "Brother Ermiao, I am willing to accompany you through thick and thin!"

Wan Shugao also walked up tremblingly: "I'll go too!"

"Through fire and water, we are all good brothers!" Ding Ermiao was moved in his heart and patted Li Weinian and Wan Shugao on the shoulders: "I appreciate your kindness. But we are all in the water. If any water ghost comes up, Lu What about Uncle and Wu Zhanzhan? Don’t worry about me, just watch the fishing boat and Wu Zhanzhan on the shore.”

Li Weinian shook his head and said: "Brother Ermiao, I don't care about you. I want to go into the water not for you, but for my sister Lvzhu. I promised her that I would bring up Tang Zhiyuan's bones with my own hands! I am not a brother, only Luzhu. Brother Ermiao, please help me."

With Li Weinian's thin skin, he said that he was not a brother but a woman. One can imagine how much effort and determination it took!
