At the end of winter, the sky was cold and green, and the mountains were frozen and the clouds were frozen. Chen Ping'an looked around and saw that as far as he could see, there was silence.
This is the color of the world. On the Xianjia ferry boat, overlooking thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there is absolutely no such feeling. Therefore, when practicing on the mountain, one does not know the cold or heat in the world.
The hiking stick in Chen Ping'an's hand that was refined with the Immortal Secret of Biyou Palace showed a green color, making the veins of the thunder pool more like the material of a bamboo whip. Otherwise, the gold color would be too conspicuous, but as long as a restriction is removed , this rough ghost-beating whip that temporarily belongs to Xiao Lian can restore its original appearance.
One good thing about Luzhou in Beiju is that as long as you can speak the elegant dialect of a continent, you don’t have to worry about talking like a chicken to a duck. Aquarius Island and Tongye Island have countless Mandarin and local dialects from various countries. Traveling all over the world, you can It will be very troublesome.
Chen Pingan walked to the foot of the mountain, but there was still no one around. He gently twisted a piece of Yang Qi Lantern Talisman. The burning speed was normal, which meant that there was less possibility of demons causing trouble on the other side of the county. , it is most likely the second situation mentioned by Jindan Song Lanqiao. A certain mountain and water god around the county has reached a catastrophe, and the golden body is about to collapse, thus affecting the geomantic omen of the place, and natural disasters will occur.
But nothing is absolute. Chen Pingan planned to take it one step at a time, holding the talisman and walking slowly until he encountered an ox cart filled with charcoal in the distance, and a strong man in shabby clothes. Taking a pair of children with chilblains on their hands, they went to the county town together. Chen Pingan turned off the talisman and walked quickly. The eyes of the two children were full of curiosity, but the country children were shy, so they went to The father shrank back, and the man saw the young man carrying a suitcase and a staff, but said nothing.
The winter is cold and freezing, the dirt roads are hard, and the bullock carts are bumpy. Men are increasingly afraid to lead the cows too fast. Once the charcoal is broken, the price will not be high. The size of the rich men in the city The stewards all have venomous eyes, and they are the best at picking troubles. Their harsh and aggressive words are more chilling than the cold wind that has nowhere to hide. Just this delay will cause the two children to suffer from the cold. This makes the man feel a little depressed. He has already told them not to join in the fun. There is nothing interesting in the city, but the stone lion at the door of the house is scary. The painted door gods are bigger, and if you look at them too much, that's all. If this cart of charcoal is really sold for a good price, I will bring back some scraps for them to eat, and there will be no shortage of new year's goods to buy.
The outline of the high walls of the county can be vaguely seen, and the man breathed a sigh of relief. The city was lively and popular, and it was warmer than outside the city. As long as the two children were happy, they would probably forget about whether it was cold or not. .
It was just the young man wearing a bamboo hat, walking neither fast nor slow, just following the cow body, which made the man a little worried.
Chen Pingan quickened his pace slightly and asked with a smile: "Brother, I am a stranger from afar. I don't know what this county is called? Is there any place worth visiting?"< /p>
The man was a dull gourd, but he didn’t dare to pretend to be deaf and mute, so he put on a smile and said in a hoarse voice: “Returning to the master, the front is called Suijia City. It is said that the emperor went south in the past.I was accidentally caught in the cold, and after staying there for a while, I was given this name. I only know that the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city and the Fire God Temple in the south of the city are the most crowded on weekdays. You can go and have a look. "
"Okay, then when I enter the city, I will go to these two places to have a look. "
Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to gently hold down the ox cart, "We happened to be on the way, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's go into the city together. By the way, I'll ask my eldest brother more about things in the city. ”
Although the man looked uneasy, when he looked up, he saw that the ox cart was getting closer and closer to the gate of Suiji City. He felt that nothing could go wrong. Learn how the city people speak and say more beautiful words: "Then I'll tell you what I know. It's best if I can help you a little. I haven't read a book and can't speak. There's something wrong with what I said. Please bear with me, sir. "
Chen Ping'an held a hiking stick in one hand and supported the ox cart with the other, and said, "This is a good thing. Brother, just speak openly." ”
Under the introduction of the man who thought of it, Chen Ping’an learned that this accompanying city was in the Yinping Kingdom. It was not a small city. There was a prime minister in history, so the city god’s temple was there. Kuixing Tower is full of incense, and the Fire God Temple is also noisy. It is said that seeking wealth is very effective. Rich people who do big business in the city like to go there to burn incense, so men pull bullock carts to the market near the Fire God Temple. , sold a cart of charcoal, and could buy New Year's goods at a nearby store and go home.
The two children had been secretly looking at Chen Pingan, but as soon as Chen Pingan smiled at them, they immediately turned around. I felt a little embarrassed.
Unconsciously, the ox cart arrived at the city gate. Since it was still early, I had to queue up to enter the city. There were some breakfast stalls nearby, so Chen Pingan bought a bowl of millet porridge and a roll. He took off his bamboo hat and sat at the table to eat the pancake. The two children not far away swallowed their saliva. The man hesitated, took out a small handful of copper coins and gave them to his daughter. After receiving the money, the two children ran to her happily. From the stall, I also bought a bowl of millet porridge and a burrito that smelled like eggs. The daughter held the burrito and gave it to her father. The man just took a bite and tore the remaining burrito in half. Return it to the daughter. The little girl ran back to the table and handed half of it to her brother. Then they ate the bowl of porridge together. The man protected the cart, wiped his mouth and grinned.
Business was good, and the two children were sitting opposite Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan was accustomed to eating slowly while thinking about things during his previous trip to Ghost Valley. Intrigue and fighting with the golden eagle spirits of Jixiao Mountain are actually not very dangerous.
But the stretch between Tongshou City and Qinglu Town, or to be precise, is from Pima Zongqiao. After walking off the Zhou ferry, and then using the sword fairy to break through the sky and escape to Muyi Mountain, Chen Ping'an is still a little frightened. After reviewing the chess games several times afterwards, he felt that life and death were on the line, but when he thought of the final harvest, he was full of fairy money. I have earned a lot of money and taken away rare items. I have nothing to complain about. My only regret is that I don’t get into many fights. It doesn’t hurt, but I am the one who even fell down in Mangkhut House.It's not as good as feeding and punching, and it's not enough fun. If the monster from Jixiao Mountain joins forces with the great sage who can move mountains, and assuming there is no upper-level fifth-level heroic spirit like Gao Cheng secretly coveting in the north, it might be a little more enjoyable.
After that, I rested in Muyishan Mansion and learned a lot of new things about Beiju Luzhou through a stack of Xianjia Mansion newspapers that I asked someone to bring and read.
The most unexpected one was, of course, Huang Ting, the female champion of Taiping Mountain, who lost to the young handsome man named Liu Jinglong in the life-and-death battle at Pili Mountain. You must know that Huang Ting was trying to break the bottleneck of Yuanying. Beiju Luzhou has just arrived. Although she is a new Nascent Soul, there is no doubt that Huang Ting's swordsmanship is high. And above Liu Jinglong, who is roughly the same age and cultivation level as Huang Ting, there are two other cultivation levels. The "young monks" who have more outstanding talents and good fortune backgrounds. As for the seven favored men after Liu Jinglong, Chen Pingan does not dare to look down upon them just because of Yang Ningxing's skills and temperament in Yunxiao Palace.
Besides this, there is another place in Dili Mountain that Chen Pingan is very curious about.
There is a mountain outside the mountain. There are endless battles on Tidi Mountain. Nearby is Baiquan Mountain, which is the best place to watch the battle. There are more than a hundred spiritual springs on the mountain, full of spiritual energy. It is an innate treasure land. There are more than a thousand large towers built on the mountain. The mansions of the Immortal Family, large and small, are surrounded by green mountains and waters, with deep courtyards and pleasant scenery. They are also first-class places of cultivation. These Baiquan Mountain mansions are only for rent, not for sale. The Qionglin Sect hired experts from the Yin and Yang family to select the sites. It is carefully built by Hemojia craftsmen and can be rented for a long time, but the longer the term, the more expensive the price.
Relying on this long-term business with huge financial resources, the Qionglin Sect, which has a good way of making money, just relied on the immortal money to raise a half-hearted Jade Pure Realm enshrinement, and the sect was able to obtain the suffix of the sect name.
The reputation of this sect in Luzhou, Beiju, has never been very good. It only cares about money and never talks about friendship, but it does not hinder people's daily income.
So the Qionglin Sect is both jealous of the monks and despised by the people on the mountain. There is a popular sarcastic saying that spreads throughout the north and south: the five realms are on the embroidered pillow, and the Qionglin Sect has the breeze on its sleeves.
Chen Ping'an put down his chopsticks and looked towards the city gate. There was a formation of horse hooves in the distance in the city. , instead of slowing down the horse's hooves, they spurred their horses and whips one after another, causing a commotion at the city gate. The people who were going in and out of the city at this moment pressed against the wall to avoid it. The people outside the city seemed to be accustomed to the strange and experienced, and together with The man's ox-cart was inside, and it moved closer to the roads on both sides in a hurry and without any hesitation, giving way to an empty and spacious road in an instant.
This happens everywhere.
The group of dandy boys in bright clothes and angry horses sat high on their horses one by one and galloped out of the city. A series of rapid horse hooves were like a string of firecrackers. Everyone is wearing expensive mink fur, holding embroidered riding whips, carrying swords and bows, and there are also powerful servants carrying eagle cages. It's so majestic to chase the wind and lightning.
However, Chen Pingan’s attention was focused more on the two young people sitting at a stall in the distance, a man and a woman, dressed in plain clothes.They were all clean and simple. They all carried long swords on their backs. Their appearance was not outstanding, but they had a certain bearing. They each ate a bowl of wontons with indifferent expressions. When the man saw the group of city boys running wildly with him, he frowned. Frowning, the woman put down her chopsticks and shook her head slightly at the man.
Chen Pingan understood clearly.
It should be a cultivator who came following the vision in Jacheng.
It's just that the young men and women are not very high in cultivation. Chen Ping'an saw the subtle signs of the circulation of spiritual energy and found that they were two qi practitioners who had not yet entered the cave. Although they carried swords, they were definitely not swordsmen.
When the woman with the sword turned around and looked around, she saw only a young man who was paying the bill with the stall owner. He was holding a bamboo whip hat and a green bamboo hiking stick. The knights who roamed the rivers and lakes were no different. The woman sighed. If they accidentally bumped into the rivers and lakes of this city, they would be unlucky. If they were the same as them, they were specifically aiming for disaster in the city. At the same time, Another rare treasure has been born. It’s really unbelievable. Don’t you know that this rare treasure has already been secretly ordered by the two great immortal families in the Yinping Kingdom. No one else dares to get involved, like her and her fellow disciple beside her. In addition to completing the master’s secret order In addition, it is more of a crisis-ridden experience.
This is a real fight between gods and immortals. If a mortal master gets involved a little bit, if he accidentally blocks the path of any great immortal master, he will end up turning into ashes.
The woman's thoughts were wandering.
She herself is considered a leading monk among the younger generation in the Silver Screen Kingdom, but compared to those two, she knows that they are far behind. A young man who is only fifteen years old, the year before last Already in the cave realm, a woman in her early twenties, with continuous opportunities, smooth cultivation, and valuable treasures at her side. If the two top sects were not mortal enemies, they would be a golden boy and girl made in heaven.
More than a dozen countries, from the mountains to the mountains, seem to be watching the growth and competition between the two of them.
Every time they meet, it will be a talk that makes people talk about it.
She would actually be envious.
Because that precocious young man who was destined to be the center of attention from birth was indeed born with the skin of an immortal, with a gentle temperament, and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She couldn’t understand how in the world he could Is there such a young man who can make women forget about the world?
When the young man saw his senior sister in a daze, he thought it was because he was worried about the next trip, and comforted him: "Senior sister, if we are not sure, we will just find the child and leave. There is no need to pay attention to this inevitable situation." Master has said that we as Taoists must know that destiny is in accordance with the situation. Since Suijia City has enjoyed the blessings of the gods for hundreds of years, it should suffer this destined natural disaster."
The woman nodded, and then reminded: "Be careful, the walls have ears."
The man smiled and said: "If you say that there is a mixture of fish and dragons in the city, and a gathering of strange people, I believe it, but you can say that this city gate can also Meeting an outsider... I don't believe it. We are not a small sect anymore. The old gods and little immortals on the mountainTeacher, who is not a familiar face? Could it be that the monkey trick is a hidden god? Or is the young ranger wearing a bamboo hat actually a great master of the world?
The woman's expression changed slightly, "Have you forgotten your master's teachings? When traveling down the mountain, be careful what you say and do!" "
As she said this, the woman quickly glanced at the old man with a monkey on his shoulder, and the young man who walked near a bullock cart. Then she was shocked in her heart. The latter was fine. She was still unaware of her junior brother's offensive words, but the old man who had reached out to feed the little monkey on his shoulder turned to look at her, twitching the corners of his mouth, with a bad look on his face, and stood up with fists in his hands.
The old man didn't appreciate it very much. His eyes wandered and he looked at her from head to toe. Then he sneered and stopped looking at her.
The woman didn't like her. She was so considerate, but her junior brother almost exploded with anger. How dare this old immortal guy be so insulting! He was about to take a step forward, but his senior sister gently grabbed his sleeve and shook his head, "Yes." We were rude first. ”
The young man gave the old monkey-playing man a fierce look, kept his face in his mind, and entered Suijia City. When the time comes, the treasure hunt will begin, and the various forces will become entangled. There will be chaos, and if there is a chance, this old immortal guy will not be able to eat it.
Chen Pingan actually took all this in his eyes, and felt a little emotional. The two sides had become enemies for no reason, and they were really bad tempered.
In fact, the ten countries surrounding Yinping Country are barren areas with weak spiritual energy and are not suitable for spiritual practice. Most of them are warriors. Song Lanqiao from Chunlupu Ferry said that there are spiritual practitioners here. , they are just a group of frogs at the bottom of a well who like to lie down in small ponds and nest in their nests. The truly enlightened monks outside do not care about the small profits, and the monks inside are also happy that there are no dragons crossing the river to cause trouble and dominate behind closed doors. , two poor Jindan monks, led by two rival sects, each led a group of minions to fight. It is said that they have been fighting for hundreds of years.
But Song Lanqiao said it lightly and casually. , Chen Ping'an is still accustomed to being cautious in the rivers and lakes, and sailing with caution.
The monks on the mountain have thousands of strange and strange magic techniques. Once they fight, they can't do it regardless of their level of realm or even the quality of the magic weapon. Yes, the five elements are in conflict with each other, the right time and place, changes in fortune, and conspiracies are all variables.
After entering the city, in order to prevent the charcoal seller from mistakenly thinking that he had evil intentions, Chen Pingan did not follow him to get angry. Instead of going to the temple market, he went to the City God's Temple first.
In fact, Chen Ping'an could tell that the man was a pure martial artist, probably from the Fourth Realm. After seeing his figure, The man was deliberately breathing heavily and walking frivolously. He must have been a martial artist of the third realm with good foundation in the world of Silver Screen. He should have been a little famous. As for why he became a country woodcutter and a charcoal seller, dragging his family with him. Chen Pingan will not explore these stories when he earns his hard-earned money. Zifeiyu Anzhiyu's happiness
After the two parties parted ways.back.
The man was holding the ox cart, and the two children were still carefree and looking around. The man smiled, turned to look at the retreating figure of the young ranger, and said to himself: " Even if you don’t realize that I am a Jianghu person, you must be a descendant of the second and third realms. Alas, why did you come to this muddy water? Those gods who have practiced immortality on the mountain are not just dragon-like existences. How many people will drown if you just swing your tail?"
Chen Pingan smiled.
The man was kind-hearted and deliberately mentioned it more, saying that the Lingbao City in the north had more places worth seeing. It should be that he wanted to leave Suijia City, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
Coincidentally, the old man who played the monkey and the young man and woman who carried the sword were all on the same journey, and like Chen Ping'an, they both went to the City God's Temple first.
Chen Pingan deliberately slowed down and kept a distance from them, and then stopped at a calligraphy and painting shop halfway. He looked at a stick of incense and calligraphy and painting in the shop. He didn't buy any calligraphy and painting, but spent a few taels of silver. , I bought a few booklets that were originally used as supplements in the store, specifically introducing the famous works of famous painters from all dynasties and generations in the Silver Screen Kingdom. The book printing is quite good, but it is not a rare book, and the content is pleasant. That’s all.
After putting it in the bamboo box, leaving the shop, the old man and the man and woman were no longer there.
After approaching the City God’s Temple, Chen Ping’an looked a little solemn, and the incense was curling up. On the street outside the City God’s Temple, you could smell the unique smell of the incense, but after walking through many landscape temples, it was difficult to You will know that the amount of incense is not important, but in terms of purity, whether it is an orthodox temple enshrined by the imperial court or a licentious temple created by the common people or monsters without permission, it all depends on how many kilograms or taels of incense essence there is. . After Chen Ping'an looked at it intently, he saw this majestic and large-scale City God's Temple, with incense lingering, as if the City God had used a secret method to detain him and not leak out at all. This is an act of transgression. All the orthodox temples of the imperial court Temples, including the Landscape God Temple, City God Temple and Wenwu Temple, must feed back the mountains and rivers of the place, and will peel off part of the incense essence and disperse it into the surrounding world, thereby benefiting the people and protecting the people. Only in this way can a cycle be formed. It's not like the City God's Temple in front of you. It's all water-tight and it's all in your own pocket.
Chen Pingan sighed softly. In fact, it is understandable that this is a self-saving move used by the golden god in the temple. At the moment, he can no longer care about anything else. It is a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst. Over time, disaster will come. It will just keep accumulating and getting bigger.
Chen Ping'an didn't
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Walking into the City God's Temple, which is responsible for guarding the city according to the law, the man selling charcoal from before Although he didn't say it clearly, he had personally come here to worship the gods and prayed sincerely. Therefore, Chen Ping'an had a general understanding of the gods enshrined in the front and back halls. Other places are similar. In addition to the front and back halls and the Kuixing Tower, there are also the God of Wealth Hall, Yuanchen Hall, etc. that were built according to local customs and preferences. However, Chen Ping'an still had a relationship with the Chenghuang TempleI asked the old shopkeeper of an incense shop outside in detail. The old shopkeeper was a warm and talkative person. He told the origin of the Chenghuang Temple. It turned out that the front hall was dedicated to an ancient military commander who lived a thousand years ago. It was the ancestor of a great dynasty in the early years. The meritorious figure who has gone down in history, the golden body of this heroic spirit in this temple, is naturally somewhere else. The City God who really "monitors blessings and misfortunes, patrols the bright light, and governs the souls of the dead" here is a famous civil servant enshrined in the apse, who is the silver screen A third-grade marquis conferred by the emperor of the country.
When talking about this imperial edict, the old shopkeeper smiled and asked: "Young man, are you wondering why he is only a third-rank marquis? This civil servant was a second-rank minister during his lifetime."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's a little strange. I just wanted to ask the old shopkeeper if he has any explanation?"
If there are many temples in the world that have strict rules, Chen Ping'an said In fact, Ping An has already cleared the door. If you want to do as the locals do when you enter a country, you should naturally ask the customs first.
The old shopkeeper smiled and said nothing.
Chen Pingan quickly bought a stick of incense from the incense shop.
Take the road.
The old shopkeeper laughed loudly, and then started to talk about the knowledge inside, "Young man, you look like a gangster at first glance, so you don't know this officialdom. It's normal. The title and officialdom in the officialdom The character is different, not to mention the character of these immortal men who are worshiped by incense. It’s different. Why, are you confused?”
Chen Ping’an nodded and said with a smile: “ It’s a little complicated.”
The old shopkeeper began to show off his knowledge, shook his head and said: “Our City God, in fact, was granted the title of fourth-grade uncle in the hands of the founding emperor earlier. The incense has always been effective. After the new emperor ascended the throne a few years ago, he issued an imperial edict posthumously conferring the title of Third-grade Marquis to our City God. It was such a grand occasion that the Master of the Ministry of Rites left the capital in person. For such an important official, he personally left the capital. We arrived at the city with the imperial edict. After entering the city, we chose an auspicious day. Did you see that before dawn that day, a large team of government officials sprinkled water to clean the street outside the shop? Outsiders are not allowed to watch. I just wanted to watch the excitement, so I slept in the shop the night before. Only then did I get to see the Master. Tsk, tsk, he is truly worthy of the Wenquxing. Even from a distance, we all feel expensive. Angry."
The old shopkeeper said proudly, "Although we are just a county town, the treatment of the city god in front is already equivalent to that of the city god in the state city. Except for the city god temple and the capital. There is no higher edict in the Chenghuang Temple in the capital. Young man, so when you invite incense, you must pay more respects and kowtow when you go to the temple. Although this Chenghuang Temple has always been for scholars to seek more efficacious literary fortunes, we, the City God, I have a high official position and great ability. I think if you are more sincere, you will be able to protect me."
Chen Ping'an asked some of the civil and military officials in the City God's Temple, and it turned out that he was still worthy of being served by the two judges and the City God. Six divisions, two gods of day and night, and a general of shackles. These subordinate officials who assisted the City God each had their ownThe old shopkeeper was very familiar with the origins and spoke eloquently. However, when Chen Pingan asked if he had ever seen the City God appear with his own eyes, the old shopkeeper was speechless and his expression was unnatural. He replied, "We are the ones here." Where can the common people see the true form of the City God? Even if they stand in front of them, they will not recognize him.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "It should be so. As the old saying goes, a real person is not a real person if he doesn't show his face. This must be especially true for these gods."
The old shopkeeper's expression improved.
The etiquette system of Yinping City God is generally the same as that of Aquarius Island, but there are still some differences, such as rank and service.
However, the issue of the title of emperor of Yinping Kingdom is a bit unusual. He must have noticed the strangeness of the golden body of the city god here, so he did not hesitate to confer a royal decree on a county and city god.
After Chen Pingan left the incense shop, he stood on the bustling street and glanced at the Chenghuang Temple.
I would rather sleep in a tomb than in a ruined temple.
This is the truth.
Once the spiritual energy of the world's mountains and rivers changes, it is easy to lead to a situation where blessings and misfortunes are reversed.
Chen Pingan walked towards the Fire God Temple. The weather in the City God Temple showed no signs of collapse and should be able to maintain it for some time.
Incense is also flourishing at the Fire God Temple, but compared to the chaos in the City God's Temple, the incense here is more clear, stable, and orderly gathering and dispersing.
But he also did not step into it. He is now able to suppress the weird things on his body with his fists. However, after setting foot in the temple, Chen Pingan is not sure whether it will attract unnecessary attention. If not, This trip to the southeast of Luzhou in Beiju was too hasty. According to Chen Ping'an's original plan, after visiting the swaying river temple in Skeleton Beach, he would then visit several large ancestral temples of the secular dynasty and survey them personally. Check it out. After all, it is similar to the Swaying River Temple. The owner is a mountain and water god who is a neighbor of the Pima Sect. He has a high vision. If he goes in and burns incense himself, people may not take it seriously. Whether people see him or not does not mean anything. But the largest river at the southern end of Yizhou The god did not appear in the temple, but he played the role of a boatman, trying to teach me some kindness.
Chen Pingan wandered around the incense shop near the Fire God Temple again and asked some about the god's background.
One thing is similar to the old shopkeeper of the City God Temple. This god who sits in the south of the city has never really appeared in the market. There are more legends about his deeds than the City God in the north of the city, and I heard that It is more close to the people than the City God. Most of them are unofficial stories about rewarding good and punishing evil, and playing with the world. Moreover, they have a long history. They are only passed down from generation to generation and will be circulated in the mouths of future generations. One of the rumors is that This Lord of the Fire God Temple once had some disagreements with the "Lake Lord" of Cangjun Lake, a flood-prone lake eight hundred miles away. Because under the jurisdiction of Cangyun Lake, there was a lady who was the owner of the Narcissus Temple, which once annoyed Huo. Master of the temple, the two sides fought fiercely. The owner of Daxi Canal was not an opponent, so he sent reinforcements to Lake Lord. As for the final result, it was a passing swordsman who did not leave his name, who persuaded him to do so.The two gods prevented the Lord of Lake from using his magical powers and the water flooded Suijia City.
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, then left Suijia City, directly chose a mountain path, and secretly went to the Narcissus Temple under the jurisdiction of Cangjun Lake. If the self-proclaimed "channel master", If the god whose rank is actually equivalent to that of He Po is still there, we can make some insinuations to see if we can learn the inside story of Suiji City. If a disaster really affects a whole city, someone should take care of it. If it's a fight between gods in a small place, let's wait and see.
In the night, Chen Ping'an walked along a wide stream to an ancestral temple. The road was overgrown with weeds and sparsely populated. It can be seen that the incense of the canal owner's wife had withered.
And this temple is actually only a few dozen miles away from the urban town.
However, Chen Ping'an had previously seen a group of people walking towards the ancestral temple holding torches on a hilltop at the intersection of streams and lakes.
Chen Ping'an followed them all the way, listening to their verbal exchanges, and was a little dumbfounded. These well-fed and well-fed young people from the city, young and strong, actually competed with each other to see who got in. In the ancestral temple, I really dare to tease the empress who owns the canal. This kind of thing is actually common in the urban and rural areas. It happened in Chen Ping'an's hometown town back then. If any child dared to sleep in the immortal tomb for a night, he would be an indomitable hero. Xinghua There once was a peer of the same age in Xiang who claimed that he had been lying in the Immortal Tomb all night. As a result, under the old locust tree, when he proudly mentioned this matter, he suddenly gained the admiration of many of his peers. "After this battle," he He became the king of children in the Xinghua Lane area. In the years that followed, he enjoyed bullying Chen Pingan and Song Jixin, the neighbors of Mubo Lane. Of course, he also wanted to be able to use that name when playing house. The weird Zhigui played his little daughter-in-law, but unfortunately she was scolded by Song Jixin. Zhigui, who always had a straight face and cold eyes, ran back to the town with Song Jixin, while the peer With his followers behind him, he threw mud at the master and servant pair.
In fact, that night, Chen Ping'an happened to go there to worship the Bodhisattva. He saw the man of his age from a distance, but he just walked a few steps outside the immortal tomb and then rushed home.
When Chen Pingan saw the group of seven or eight people tonight, he was unwilling to treat himself badly and brought enough food and wine. When these people entered the Narcissus Temple, which was only two steps into the courtyard, the plaque was tilted, the temple had been abandoned for a long time and was dilapidated, and the walls were covered with thick green sedges. Chen Pingan was sitting in the distance outside the temple. Standing on a big tree with a wide view, Chen Pingan put his hiking pole across his knees, put his hands in his sleeves, raised his eyes and watched the changes.
Chen Ping'an took out the dry food, picked off the sword gourd filled with water from the deep stream of Baojing Mountain, and started to eat midnight snacks. This journey was not just a leisurely stroll.
In the small ancestral temple, several bonfires have been lit, people are drinking wine and eating meat, they are having a great time, and they are talking dirty words.
There are three statues enshrined, one tall, two short. They were originally painted statues, but the paint has peeled off over time. In the center is the wife of the canal owner, and on the left and right should be the attendants.maid.
The three of them all have vivid features and lifelike features, especially the owner of the stream and canal, who has a slender figure, a necklace with hanging beads, and a particularly beautiful appearance.
Chen Pingan glanced at it and felt a little strange. The three statues did not look like golden bodies that could hide the divine light.
This is also the luck of those street people.
Chen Ping'an planned to go to Cangjun Lake after eating dry food, but the lake king had no temple on the shore, so he had a headache. If that doesn't work, I have to show up and ask those cowardly guys if there is any water god temple nearby.
Chen Pingan began to close his eyes and rest his mind, and began to refine those few mouthfuls of gloomy water from the deep stream of Baojing Mountain.
At the same time, the mind is slowly immersed, using the method of introspection from the mountain entrance, the Yin spirit travels inside its own small world.
The contents recorded in some ancient books today can easily confuse future generations of book readers.
For example, Na Gong led his officials and people to sink a white horse to worship the water god He Bo. Why it is a white horse is never explained in the book.
As for the saying that the water god cannot be seen, he will be waiting for big fish and dragons. It is even more puzzling that in all the continents and places in the world, the golden bodies of gods in landscapes and temples have never been uncommon.
Chen Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes, instantly restrained all his energy, and remained silent.
Only looking at the entrance of the stream into the lake in the distance, there was a ripple fluctuation that affected the subtle changes in the spiritual energy of the world. Then Chen Pingan quickly saw the water over there, with two people in front and three people behind. The woman came slowly, the leading woman was wearing colorful clothes, her clothes were swaying, and the water mist was hazy. The two maids behind her also looked like those in the Narcissus Temple, but they were actually more beautiful than the statues. It was the channel girl. The lady's beauty is actually far less beautiful than the one painted on the statue. I wonder what the skilled craftsman who cut the face of the canal master statue in the temple thought every time he cut it.
Averting his gaze, Chen Ping'an began to admire the courage of the guys in the temple. One of the young men climbed up to the altar, hugged the statue of the canal master and chewed it, leaving a nasty taste in his mouth. He kept talking, causing the audience to burst into laughter, strange screams and cheers.
When I was young, this was probably the case. I always felt that not following the rules was a skillful thing.
Also when I was young, I met a girl I actually liked. I bullied her a little, scolded her a few times, and rolled my eyes a few times, and then I liked each other.
The three women who came from Cangjun Lake used a blind trick when they approached the ancestral temple and turned into a white-haired old woman and two young girls.
The old woman had a sneer on her lips. After entering the temple, she had a kind expression.
The young men and young men were dumbfounded when they saw the old woman with gray hair and chicken skin, and the two young girls behind her who were as beautiful as green onions.
For a while, there was silence in the temple, except for the occasional crackling of dead branches from the fire.
Especially the young man who had his hands around the neck of the statue of the canal owner and his legs wrapped around his waist. He turned his head and was at a loss.
One of the teenagers lightly bumped him with his elbow.The young and strong man beside him said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it really that the Water Goddess is here to ask questions?"
The man shook his head, his shock turned into surprise, and he laughed and said: "Keep your eyes open and watch. , she looks like an old woman walking at night, with her two granddaughters, most of whom we don’t know from the nearby villages. We are very lucky.”
The young man secretly wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth. , knowing this man’s temperament, I was really afraid that he would do something bad if he got drunk, so he cautiously persuaded him: “Brother, let’s not be impulsive. If we make a big fuss, we will be sued.”
< p>The young and strong man sneered and said: "Are you making a big fuss? It's better to make a big fuss. It's raw rice and cooked rice, just in time to marry as a wife. Don't rob me, I like the movies of those two girls. , But I’m kind, I only want the one on the left and the one on the right, you can discuss it yourself.”The old woman pretended to be panicked and was about to leave with the two girls, and was already surrounded by the man.
The young man who was the most daring to jump onto the altar had already slipped off the statue of the Lady of the Canal. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the scene at the door. He said with a playful smile: "Sure enough, the stranger with the knife is right. Yes, I am very lucky now, Liu San, one belongs to you and the other belongs to me!"
Chen Pingan suddenly frowned.
Looking at a beam in the temple.
A person sat up. He was a strong man with thick eyebrows. He had a knife hanging on his waist and his legs hanging down. He yawned and lazily pulled off a yellow paper talisman from his body. After it was torn off, the talisman Burned out with a bang.
The old woman looked shocked.
The man smiled and said: "You don't need to do anything, you can't catch fish."
The man stretched his muscles and bones, waved his sleeves at the same time, and a spiritual energy swam around the walls like a spiritual snake. , and then snapped his fingers, and golden talismans suddenly appeared on the walls inside and outside the temple, and the talismans looked like flying birds.
Before his group of market fools set out, they took the lead in sneaking into the Narcissus Temple. After drawing the talisman, they used unique talismans and secret techniques, like the concealment technique of turtle breath, so that they could deceive their own energy. , otherwise the channel owner’s wife would be scared away. As for those detention talismans, they are a good means for the sect to become famous. They are called snow mud talismans, also known as flying bird seals. After the talisman is completed, it is the most hidden and difficult to detect. It is really like the flying dragon stepping on the snow mud, accidentally leaving a finger on it. Claw, how can Hongfei count things?
However, in addition to this secret skill of talismans, his sect is a well-known military sect, and it is good at assassination. It is also different from ordinary military sects. Therefore, most of the brothers in the same sect are from secular dynasties. Those personal followers of the generals and ministers, although the master sect is not the top Immortal family power in the territory of more than ten countries, no one dares to underestimate them. It's just that he has a wild temper and can't be restrained. For decades, he only likes to hang out in the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain. He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. When he has nothing to do, he will tease the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are like loaches in the water and earthworms on the mountains. He lives and kills at will. I'm happy too. Especially those so-called female heroes, they have a special taste.
HanziAt this moment, looking at the old woman and the two girls, they already regarded them as their own.
The old woman asked slowly: "I wonder why this immortal master is deliberately trying to lure me out of the lake? Isn't it bad to do this in my home?"
The man stretched out his hand. He grabbed a wine bottle from the side of the bonfire and took a big sip. Then he threw it out and said disgustedly: "What did these little bastards buy? It smells like urine. Drink this." It’s no wonder that the man is in a bad mood and stares at the old woman, “My junior brother and your Lord Cangyun Lake are not getting along very well. It just so happens that this time I I was ordered by my teacher to go to Suijia City. Lake Lord was hiding in his Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake. It was hard to find. I know you, bitch, have always been a resentful woman who couldn’t bear loneliness. The grudge between my silly junior brother and Cangjun Lake was , in the final analysis, it is also because of you, so I have to use you to sacrifice the knife. It is just right that the Lord of the Lake is here. As long as he climbs onto the shore, I really don't worry about him at all. I don't think the wife of the channel is him. I'll kill you later and dump your body by Cangjun Lake to see if he can bear it any longer."
The old woman's face turned pale.
The two maids looked pitiful and pitiful. His wife could still maintain the blindness, but their spiritual energy had been lost, and their true appearance was vaguely visible.
Those street libertines were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Especially the frivolous young man standing on the altar, who already needs to lean on the statue of the god to stand without falling limp.
Although Chen Ping'an didn't know how that man was able to conceal his Qi so well, one thing was obvious. There were no good people in the three sides of the temple.
The only boy still sitting by the campfire still had some conscience left, but now he was so scared that he wet his pants.
The old woman simply removed her cover and forced a smile, "This great immortal master should be from the Ghost Ax Palace of Jinduo Kingdom, right?"
The man was stunned for a moment and began to curse. : "You're like you, how can you make my junior brother miss you so much for so many years after he fell in love? I took him on a trip in the early years
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
p>Jianghu helps him relax and relieve his boredom. He has tasted the taste of many powerful ladies and beautiful heroines, but junior brother always finds it boring. Why, are you so good at sex? ”
On the branch in the distance, Chen Pingan, who always had his hands in his sleeves, narrowed his eyes.
The wife of the canal owner at the door of the temple had an ugly face, but she still said in a flattering tone: "Back then, I and the Immortal Master's junior brother were in love with each other. We not only wanted to be a couple, but we were determined to do something. As for the unruly Taoist priest, he was framed by the bastard servant of the owner of Zaoxi Canal, and secretly reported the matter to Mr. Hu. Afterwards, even though I tried to persuade Mr. Hu, he still insisted on hurting people, and that's why he became so It’s a misunderstanding, Master Immortal has learned clearly.”
The lady saw that the man on the beam had begun to press the handle of the knife, grabbed a maid with one hand, and pulled her forward with a charming smile. Said: "Master Immortal, these two maids of mine have toThey were still pretty, so they were given to the Immortal Master as bed-warming maids. They just hoped to show some mercy and send them back to Cangjun Lake when they get tired of them next year. "
The man asked: "What about you? "
The channel owner's wife smiled and said: "If the Immortal Master likes her and doesn't despise the beauty of this servant, why not sleep with her together?
The man was noncommittal and raised his chin twice, "How do you deal with these bastards?" "
The channel owner's wife smiled sweetly, "If you offend the gods, you will die. If you offend the immortal master, you will die. Am I going to clean these guys up? There is a glistening cup in the sleeve of the slave, which uses the essence of Cangjun Lake to make wine. I just take this opportunity to ask you to drink to your heart's content. I personally pour the wine for Master Immortal. These two maids were the palace dancers during their lifetime. Ji was born, and after taking off their clothes, they danced to add to the fun. ”
The man was still smiling and playful, silent.
This made the channel owner’s wife even more excited.
In an instant.
p>
The man slashed out without any warning
The channel owner’s wife shrank in fear, but fortunately the sword light did not take her head, but went to the temple. Outside.
The lady's beauty turned pale and she turned around to look.
On the other side, she saw a tree on the branches illuminated by the light of the sword. The young ranger wearing a bamboo hat raised his head slightly, with one hand still tucked into his sleeve. He held the sword light with only one hand. The sword light collided with the Gang Qi condensed near the palm, making the stranger look like The man of God was holding the bright moon in his hand.
The man was surprised, his expression did not change, he changed from sitting to squatting on the beam, holding a knife in his hand, the blade was sharp, and said in wonder: "Hey, what a handsome technique. Gang Qi is pure, condensed and perfect. When did a young martial arts master like you appear in Yinping Kingdom? I am the number one person in the world of Yinping who has dealt with me. With all my strength, I can block this knife, but I definitely can't do it so easily.
Chen Ping'an gently put away his palm, and the last bit of the sword light dissipated, and asked: "Are the talismans you were wearing before and the talismans painted on the wall the secrets of the master's sect?" Only you Ghost Ax Palace monks can use it?
The man smiled and said: "I just borrowed the light knife to greet you, and you have to pretend to be an uncle with me?" ”
The man fell from the beam to the ground. When he strode towards the temple entrance, the owner’s wife and two maids, as well as the market men who had already dispersed, hurriedly moved further away.
The man put his knife on the ground and sneered: "Quickly tell me your name! If the hilltop is familiar to our Ghost Ax Palace, then it is a friend. If it is a friend, we can share the blessings. Tonight's romantic encounter, whoever meets you will have a share. If you, kid, plan to be a swashbuckler with a warm heart and act chivalrously here tonight, then I, Du Yuke, will teach you how to be a good person. "
Those young people in the market only thought that what the immortal master said was frightening.
But the wife of the canal owner was very surprised. The words of the surnamed Du actually meant Get a lotMystery can't be said to be a sign of weakness, but it definitely can't be called arrogance and domineering.
What followed was even more shocking to the channel owner’s wife.
The young ranger disappeared in a flash and stood outside the open door of the temple. He smiled and said, "Then I beg you to teach me how to behave."
Du Yu held the knife with one hand. He made a fist with one hand, twisted it gently, and said with a ferocious expression: "Should we decide the winner or loser, or directly decide life and death?!"
The man replied: "You didn't kill me, It almost scares me to death.”
The channel owner’s wife really didn’t have the guts to laugh out loud, otherwise she would have burst into laughter.
Suddenly, his wife's thoughts changed sharply and she took a step back, "Du Yu, Du Yu from Ghost Ax Palace! Are you the legitimate son of the great couple on Jinduo Mountain?!"
Du Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I'm quite sensible. This aunt can survive."
But the man outside the door said again: "How big a Taoist monk are you? Two monks in the upper five realms?"
The channel owner's wife was overjoyed, what a great thing! I have moved out of Du Yu's prominent identity, but the other party is still not afraid at all. It seems that the worst situation tonight is to chase away the wolf and eat the tiger. If both sides really want to lose, that is the best. If the sudden appearance of Leng Tou Qing wins, it will be even worse It's better than dealing with a ranger who has no grievances and no grudges. It's always easier to negotiate, and it's better than dealing with Du Yu, a vicious man who comes towards you. Even if Du Yu chopped the young ranger who looked down on him into a puddle of flesh, he should still remember the little kindness he had just shown. After all, Du Yu didn't look like he wanted to fight for his life. Otherwise, according to the bad temper of the monks from Ghost Ax Palace, he would have stabbed people long ago.
Du Yu hooked his fingers, raised the knife, waved it casually, and said with a smile: "As long as you can break the talisman formation and enter this temple, I will let you use it."
p>
In an instant, golden light exploded around the temple wall, dazzling the gods.
Then I saw the young ranger wearing a bamboo hat, elusive as a ghost, appearing beside Du Yu, sweeping his arm on the latter's neck, and beating Du Yu's whole body, which made his whole body agitated and on the spot. Du Yu passed out and then hit the altar in the temple hard. Not only did it smash the statue of the canal owner's wife into two pieces, but Du Yu also got stuck in the wall. As for the knife, it fell to the ground. Clanging sound.
The knife on the ground is as bright as water, it should be a good knife.
Chen Pingan stood on the spot holding a hiking stick. He slightly changed the cavalry chisel formation with his hand, and combined it with a square-inch talisman after breaking the formation into the temple. Naturally, he retained his strength, otherwise this The guy who threatened to make a move on his own should be an unfilial son and let the white-haired couple of Ghost Ax Palace give away the black-haired one. Of course, the monk on the mountain, who is a hundred or even a thousand years old, still has a childlike appearance. Not surprising either.
The reason why he stayed there was naturally that Chen Ping'an wanted to go back and "humbly ask for advice" from that person on two unique talismans.
As for the young and strong young people in the city who were all in despair, they were instantly stunned by the ripples of Qi stirred up by the fist.
As for the frivolous young man on the altar, he wasDu Yu, who flew backwards, hit him with a kick and was knocked unconscious. Compared to the man in the courtyard, the young man's end was even more miserable.
Everything is perfectly calculated.
But it’s just a punch.
Only the boy was left sitting blankly by the campfire.
Chen Ping'an glanced at him and said, "Can't you pretend to be dead?"
The young man quickly fell back to the ground, tilted his head, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Madam, the channel owner, do you mind if I broke your statue?"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and knocked one of the young people away. The strong man was like a broom, sweeping away the wall. The man collided with the wall, and there was a slight sound of bones shattering.
The canal owner who was in charge of the water transport of a river felt that all his bones were about to break.
The channel owner’s wife hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. As long as the immortal master is happy, it doesn’t matter if it is broken into two pieces or beaten to pieces."
Chen Ping'an asked: "What's going on over there in Suijia City?"
The channel owner's wife bent down slightly, holding an immortal artifact with precious light flowing in both hands, "Master Immortal, can you please Drinking, let the slave say it slowly."
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Your approach is not popular with those named Du. Besides, do you think it will work? , Why do you think so much about you, Mrs. Can, if you really want to die, you should try a smarter way. Think of me as someone with low boxing skills and little experience in the world, so I am easy to deceive."
The channel owner’s wife quickly put away the wine cup, but a chill surged from the top of her head, and then she felt heart-wrenching pain. She was slapped so hard that her knees sank into the ground.
With her soul swaying, as if she were in a frying pan, the wife endured the severe pain, her teeth chattered, and her vibrato became heavier, saying: "Master Immortal, have mercy, Master Immortal, have mercy, I don't dare to seek death on my own anymore." "
Chen Pingan waved his hand, "I am not Du, and I have nothing to do with you and Cangjun Lake. I am just passing by. If Du doesn't insist on asking me to do something, I won't be willing to come in. Yes. 1510, tell me the inside story of Suijia City that you know. If there is something that I know that you know, but you know it and pretend not to know it, then I will have to sum it up with his wife. The cup that the mistress deliberately put in her sleeve is actually a natal object used to carry things like breast soup and peach blossom luck."
The mistress's smile was uglier than her tears. .
This guy is obviously a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Du Yu!
The owner's wife was very frightened and told the neighbor about all the troubles that had happened in the city.
While listening to her story, Chen Pingan quietly noticed the expressions of the two maids out of the corner of his eye.
The City God who accompanied him to the city was indeed about to have his golden body collapsed, and he had reached the end of the Avenue of Incense and Fire. The so-called end of the road was nothing more than that. But just like that person who was afraid of death, the City God was no exception. He tried every means, first unclogging relationships, spending all his savings, and thenThe imperial court asked for an edict that went beyond etiquette, but the effect was still not good. This stemmed from an old incident that no one paid much attention to at the time, but had a far-reaching impact. A hundred years ago, a family incident occurred in Suijia City. The unjust case of the death of a scholarly family was finally regarded as a vindication in the eyes of court officials and ordinary people, but the truth was far from that. At that time, officials in the Chenghuang Temple did not know that the consequences were so serious, otherwise it would have been a different story.
Cangjun Lake and Suijia City are close neighbors. The Lord of the Lake, who governs one lake, three rivers and two canals, has deep roots, so he knows many inside stories. In that scholarly family, generations of people have done good deeds and accumulated virtue
, in the plaque of the family ancestral hall, a little incense man was about to be born, but overnight, a misfortune occurred, and no chickens or dogs were left. The City God was furious and ordered all the subordinate officials to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, in the end, the investigation would be blamed on the City God's Temple itself. It turned out that the chief officer of the Yin and Yang Division, headed by the Sixth Division of the City God's Temple, as the first assistant to the City God, was involved with the City God's temple. The Shackles General, whose duties are similar to those of a county lieutenant, colluded with each other. One of them turned into a human form without authorization, put on the skin of a handsome young man, and seduced and bullied the women of that family, while the Shackles General fell in love with the not-yet-complete girl. The condensed incense villain hoped to use it to bribe a monk from the Xian family, and tried to go to the Chenghuang Pavilion in Zhoucheng to serve, and to be promoted to a military judge above all divisions under one person. The shackles general threatened the chief officer of the Yin and Yang Division, Two officials of the City God's Temple who were supposed to help a county maintain good weather and orderly Yin and Yang, jointly invited a group of gangsters who were roving to commit crimes into the city, and bloodbathed the scholarly family. The chief of the Yin and Yang Department secretly hid two beauties. Wife, the golden house hides her beauty in a secluded mansion in the countryside outside the county town.
If that were the case, even if the City God showed slight favoritism and lightly sentenced the two assistant officials, he would not have ended up in the situation he is in today. Si Guili helped the government find the group of bandits and killed them on the spot, leaving no one alive. Then he secretly spared the chief officer of the Yin and Yang Department and killed the shackles general whose elbows were turned outward. As for the two women It is natural for people to die, but I never thought that a child from that scholarly family happened to play hide and seek with the maid in the house and hid in the wall. The maid loyally protected the master and deliberately died near the wall. His body covered the entrance, and the child finally managed to escape from Suijia City. More than ten years later, with the help of a family friend, he was able to change his name and household registration. He was ranked second in high school. In another ten years, his official career went smoothly and he became a county official. , began to overturn the case, followed the clues, and found the City God's Temple for him. Then naturally there was another tragedy, but compared to the time when everyone knew about it, this time, from beginning to end, it was silent, and the court learned about it. The news is nothing more than the fact that a dedicated county governor died of illness and took office.
The scholar who was supposed to have a bright future never married a wife in his life, and he had no bookboys or maids around him. One of them came to office alone, and the other ended up dead. He seemed to have long been aware of the dangers in the city. Before he quietly sent a secret letter to his friends in the DPRK and China, he had already regarded death as home. Finally, on that day, he wentOver there in the mansion that had been an abandoned ghost house for many years, in the night, the man took off his official robe, put on sackcloth and mourning, offered incense and kowtowed, and then... he died.
In fact, before he walked out of the governor's house, ghost officials from the Chenghuang Temple had already surrounded the entire government office. The God of Day and Night himself acted as the "door god". Inside the government office, even more There is a civil and military judge hiding next to this person, watching with eager eyes.
So late that night, this person walked all the way from the government office to his former residence. There was not even a watchman, let alone a pedestrian on the road.
After the City God of Suiji City eradicated the root cause, three years later, he discovered that a crack began to appear in his golden body.
The accumulated virtues could not make up for this crack, and could only watch it spread more and more to the golden body.
So there was the current vision of Suijia City.
Chen Ping'an had been listening quietly, and then the wife of the canal owner, with a slightly gloating tone, made a final conclusion to the Chenghuang Temple in the accompanying city, "You will not survive if you do your own evil, but these City God's Temples are the most familiar. But the wording is really funny. In the Chenghuang Temple in Suijia City, there is a large stone abacus to warn the world that people are doing things and gods are calculating."
Chen Pingan finally asked: "The secret letter sent to the capital was intercepted by the Chenghuang Temple?"
The channel owner's wife shook her head and said: "Reporting to the Immortal Master, according to my Lord Hu, the prefect is quite careful in his actions. It was indeed sent to a good friend in the capital, but for some reason, it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea. After so many years, the court had no idea about it, but the person who received the letter had a smooth official career. At that time, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Later, his family became prosperous and he had descendants. Their fortunes in the imperial examinations and literature are very good, and there are as many as six people who have been awarded Jinshi. The current head of the family is also a feudal official who is in charge of the government."
Chen Ping'an asked again: "Together with this person named Du. Yes, why are so many cultivators rushing to Suijia City? Is it possible that the City God of Suijia City, who is so brilliant and has made so many friends on the mountain, wants to win over the City God Temple? "< /p>
The canal owner’s wife, who had been obediently staying in place, lowered her voice, raised her head and said: "The feng shui of Suijia City is quite strange. After the turmoil in the City God's Temple, it seems that there is no way to keep a rare treasure. Every time On nights of full moon, heavy rain and heavy snow, there will be a light in the county and city, and an angry bullfight will appear from a prison. Over the years, many experts from the mountains have gone to investigate, but they have been unable to do so. Seizing the roots of that rare treasure, some experts in Kanyu speculated that it was a treasure of heaven, material, and earth that had been nurtured by a state's landscape and destiny for thousands of years. I didn’t want to stay in Suijia City anymore, so there was a sign that the treasure appeared.”
Chen Ping’an narrowed his eyes and asked, “I just asked your wife casually. I know so many horrifying truths, and then there are so many capable people and strangers, and after so many years, they are flying around in the clouds and mist, coming and going back and forth in the accompanying city. It is impossible to say that there are still many monks who have taken root in the city. For many years, there has been no immortal master, try to reverse the case for that family? "
The canal owner's wife's daze this time was spontaneous, not false. Then she murmured: "What are you doing to reverse the case? Wouldn't it be more difficult to obtain the rare treasure if he and the City God's Temple were at odds with each other? "
Chen Pingan took off his bamboo hat, looked up at the night sky, and scratched his head, "This is a very reasonable statement. "
There were some noises on the wall behind the altar of the temple.
The owner's wife felt a breeze blowing against her face and suddenly turned her head to look.
God The table was split in half by the man, and dust flew into the air. Gui Ax Gong Du Yu, who had secretly woken up and wanted to make a move, was directly grabbed by the man's neck with one hand and smashed into the ground. p>
When the man stood up, Du Yu had lost his vitality and could not die anymore.
At that moment, the lady of the channel, as a water goddess, felt that she was dead. His whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cave.
The man turned sideways and looked at her
His eyes were expressionless. Quietly, as if there was a dragon swaying deep in the water, trying to climb up the well wall, sticking its head out to see the world outside the well.
The wife of the canal owner wanted to take a step back and hide further. Some of them just had their feet stuck deep in the ground and had to lean back. It seemed that this was the only way to avoid being frightened to death.
But for some reason, the next moment, the man suddenly smiled, stood up, and took pictures. He clapped his hands, put on the bamboo hat again, stretched out two fingers, supported it, and said with a smile: "Monks on the mountain are not stained by the world of mortals, and are not stained by cause and effect. It is a matter of course. ”
