The Huaihuang Kingdom is a small country in the north. It is a barren land and both the government and the public are so poor that the king cannot send officials to worship the gods of the Five Mountains on time, so there is a saying that officials from the Rites and Household Departments do not go to the mountains.
It may be that the imperial court did not pay enough respect to the Lord of Wuyue Mountain. In addition, local ancestral temples are sparse and the incense is not strong. There are often demons in the countryside of Huaihuang City, so real people and eminent monks from other countries often travel there. Mountains and rivers save people from water and fire. It's just that these local celebrities who are quite popular have never been able to enter the real dignitaries of Huaihuang Kingdom. Later, they simply bypassed the capital to avoid getting into trouble.
On this day, at the border pass between Huaihuang Kingdom and Yinping Kingdom in the south, there was a scholar in white wearing a bamboo hat. He handed over the customs clearance document, entered the border town, wandered around, and stopped at a market. Overpass, sitting on a bamboo box, munching on the green onion cake I just bought, and listening to the storyteller telling some strange stories with the local people and some traveling merchants who did not do much business. The storyteller is old and 70 years old. When I was young, I never expected that I would be so angry that I could raise my voice loudly. Just as I was spitting, I said that a very ferocious monster had appeared in Bu Yao County, entrenched on the top of the mountain, and turned into black smoke and sneaked in at night. The county town specializes in kidnapping young girls, and the government can't stop them at all. As a result, the old man who was invited by a county guard set up a altar and attracted thunder. In the middle of the night when the moon and stars were sparse, there was a sudden heavy rain and thunder. On the mountain top where the demon was hiding and where the miasma was spreading, there was a crack, and a bolt of lightning struck deep into the mountain. Afterwards, a brave woodcutter followed the movement into the mountain and saw that it was a big snake as thick as a well, which was struck alive by the thunder. Yes, it's just a pity for those yellow-flowered girls. In the mountain col, there are skeletons everywhere and jagged bones. From the looks of it, they should be those unfortunate women.
Everyone in the audience gasped, their hair stood on end, and their spines felt chilly.
The traveling scholar wearing a snow-white robe was also surprised along with the others.
Ding, ding, ding, dong, some of the audience took the lead in giving reward money, and people from behind took out their pockets one after another, and dropped some copper coins in the big white bowl. The storyteller glanced at the harvest in the bowl, and smiled. , enough to buy two bottles of wine.
Finally, the storyteller told that there are also demons and lawless people in Yuhu County. Unfortunately, the prefect of this county is a miser. He has no connections and is unwilling to pay a lot of money to hire real people or immortal masters to go down the mountain to subdue the demons. , the people of Yuhu County are really pitiful, and they are entangled to death. Fortunately, although the evil demon is unscrupulous, fortunately, he is not a high-minded person, and is far inferior to the Buyao County snake demon who was killed by thunder. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy in the world.
What the common people like is excitement, so a man asked who the monster of Yuhu County was, and the storyteller told him that there was a ghost in white clothes in the county who liked to scare the watchman and knocked on the door late at night. The gates are so open that no one dares to go out at night in the county. There are also foxes and rabbits in the deserted graves. There are often voluptuous women showing off their flowers, who like to seduce men and absorb their essence. Another group of ferocious ghosts drove away the monks in the temple and occupied the magpie's nest. There was also a girl in green at the ferry who used the river as her home and made trouble.
Some people don’t believe it, saying that the Yinping Kingdom and our Huaihuang Kingdom have always been stable, and there have been no monsters and evil spirits for hundreds of years. Why are they suddenly appearing all over the place? Could it be that they are just guys who are full of food and are deliberately pretending to cheat people out of money? . The storyteller blew his beard and stared, saying that he had seen with his own eyes the corpse of the snake demon in Buyao County and the pale face of the green water ghost at the ferry.
The audience laughed in disbelief.
The ancient old man looked around, and finally looked at the scholar in white who had just finished eating scallion pancakes. He raised his hand and said, "This scholar who traveled far away from home must have read a lot and is knowledgeable. Ask him." , are there ghosts and ghosts in the world? Scholars, even if you have never seen it with your own eyes, you have heard of it."
Everyone looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat, and the man shook his head. : "I've never seen it, and I've never heard it before."
Boos were everywhere.
When the storyteller saw something bad, he quickly put away the big white bowl and put it away. None of the fucking scholars are good at it. They don't want to be a moneymaker, but they don't know how to be a person. At first glance, they have no hope of being named on the gold list.
As soon as the stalls were closed, the audience and spectators dispersed.
The storyteller glared fiercely at the foreign scholar who was on a study tour.
Chen Pingan smiled, stood up, and put the bamboo box on his back. The sword fairy, sword-raising gourd, and jade bamboo fan had been put into the bamboo box before, and only the green desire in his hand was Didi's hiking stick has been refined during this journey. At the same time, he has hidden a few yellow paper talismans made of ordinary materials in his sleeves, which are Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, Dust Cleansing Talisman and Barrier Breaking Talisman. An ordinary entry-level talisman on the "Authentic Book of Alchemy".
Chen Ping'an walked to the old man and said, "Old sir, I'll buy you a drink. Do you want to drink it?"
The storyteller looked at him sideways and saw that his hands were powerless. He looked like some kind of gangster who was robbing homes, but the road was not easy to navigate. God knows where the shallow puddles on the road would make people sprain their feet, so even if he was really greedy, he swallowed hard and refused with a smile. Said: "No, no, I appreciate the kindness of this young master. I still have to hurry and cross the border to go to Yinping Country to make a living. The inns here in the city charge money like killing pigs, and sleeping on the streets will cause trouble. It's better to cross the border." , Sleeping in the wilderness, no matter the sky or the earth."
Chen Pingan said regretfully: "Okay, then I won't keep the old gentleman, I will just save a pot of Bishanlou. "The old man's eyes lit up, and the wine bug in his stomach started to rebel. He immediately changed his face, looked up at the sky, and laughed: "It's too early to look at the sky. , don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry, let brothers Kong Fang from Yinping Country wait a little longer. I won’t refuse the young master’s hospitality. Let’s go to Bishan Tower. I haven’t tasted this fly wine yet. Thanks to the young master, Have a good drink."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "Why don't you invite the apprentice to join you?"
The old man turned around and waved, throwing away the first one. The guy who put the money into the bowl called to him and whispered:"Young Master has a good eye."
When they arrived at the largest restaurant in the city, the three of them sat down on the second floor under the guidance of the attentive waiter. Chen Ping'an ordered a table of dishes and three pots of wine. The old man waited until three After the pot of wine was put on the table, he silently placed the pot of wine that the scholar had placed next to his disciple in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I just forgot to tell you that my disciple doesn't know how to drink. It's a waste, it's a waste."
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Then I'll ask the waiter to remove the extra wine. It's only two taels of silver."
The old man. He quickly put his arms around the two jugs of wine and said, "Don't worry, sir, there's no reason to take away good wine after it's been served. Isn't this just asking a beautiful woman to undress and get on the bed before getting out? It's such a disgrace to the scenery. How can it be like this?"
Chen Pingan opened the mud seal, poured himself a bowl of wine, and asked with a smile: "Isn't the old gentleman from Mengliang country?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I am from Qingjing Country in the far west, I have been a storyteller since I was 26 years old. I have traveled to most of the dozens of countries, and I have been to Mengliang Country once. It is a paradise that is rare to find in the world. I am thinking about retiring in the future. The place I choose is Mengliang Country. Anyway, I have no relatives or worries in my hometown. If my apprentice succeeds and earns real money, I can be buried there when I close my eyes."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Then just drink."
Chen Pingan could only see that the storyteller in front of him was a three-level qigong practitioner, but this meant that the storyteller in front of him The old man is either really a low-level monk who travels all over the world, or his cultivation level will be far higher than that of Ye Han and Fan Weiran. In the territory of these dozens of countries, apart from the two masterminds behind the scenes, Ye Han and Fan Weiran are already well-deserved "mountain top" monks.
One day before, the ripples of spiritual energy on the borders of more than a dozen countries shook, like spring thunder, which made Chen Ping'an feel it in his heart. He immediately raised his sword into the sky and saw a long golden line that stretched suddenly on the ground. Appeared, and then burned like ashes. It should be one of the great monks who removed the restriction on magical powers that was encircling the land. It was probably the man behind the Mengliang Kingdom who obtained the rare treasure of Suijia City. As for the other one, he was only named Xia Zhen for the time being. The great monk has never shown up yet to come and cause trouble for him. Logically speaking, this is very wrong. Fan Weiran's Baodong Wonderland, Ye Han's Huangyue City, and all the mountains headed by the two forces are most likely raised by this person. The caged bird, the fish in the pond, so much damage, no movement, there are two possibilities, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, Xia Zhen is waiting for him somewhere now, or... Jiang Shangzhen is driving with him Before Cheng showed up, he had secretly cleaned up the mess. Xia Zhen was either dead, or had a lucky escape, but was so damaged that he was unable to deal a fatal blow to himself.
If the storyteller in front of him is really the master of Mengliang Kingdom who came all the way to see him, Chen Pingan is too lazy to mess with his words and just roll up his sleeves and fight. .
The old man smiled and said: "Why, the young master has an acquaintance in Mengliang Country? Are they sworn enemies, or are they the concerned relatives?"Friends? If it’s the latter, after I finish my trip to Yinping Country and travel to Mengliang Country with my silly disciple, I can give you a message, that is..."
The old man smiled and stretched out two fingers to gently twist.
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "There is no deep hatred, no big grudges, no water in the well, no offense in the river. I just admire the extraordinary methods of a master from Mengliang Kingdom, who is meticulous and error-free, and I really want to sincerely invite you." He drank a bottle of wine. Anyway, the overall situation has been decided now, just like the review of the chess game. This expert made the first move back then, with great power and calmness in the middle game. At the end of the game, he made so many wonderful moves that no one understood and helped. A few cheers, just like the old gentleman telling a story. If the whole place is silent and silent, even if you get a large bowl of copper coins in the end, wouldn't it still be a big pity? "
The old man took a sip of wine and said, "Although I don't know what the young master is talking about, it sounds reasonable. Then let’s go alone? ”
Chen Ping’an picked up the wine bowl, touched it with the old man, and drank separately.
Not only does drinking wine with like-minded people have a good taste.
In the light of swords and shadows, fighting with enemies and enemies, and the murderous aura flowing in the wine table and cups are also practices.
As for what is new in this small northern country, Huaihuang Country. The strange phenomenon, the sudden increase in the number of demons, is also related to the flood of spiritual energy pouring into the territory of more than ten countries from the outside. Without the presence of the thunder pool that shocked all things, it was natural to be excited, like snakes and insects ready to move and break out of the ground after the wake of hibernation. < /p>
It’s just that Chen Ping’an doesn’t plan to quarrel with the master of Mengliang Kingdom and the monk behind the scenes named Xia Zhen for the time being. Above the golden elixir, Nascent Soul is okay. If you can’t fight, you can still run away, but as long as there is one If you are in the Jade Pu Realm, you don't need both of them. It is a big trouble for you. Chen Ping'an doesn't have the right time, place, and people. If the other party really wants to kill him at any cost, with the temper of the Beiju Luzhou monk, that is absolutely impossible. There will be no hesitation. In this exclusive Beiju Luzhou, there are more than one or two foreign monks with backgrounds and backers who died suddenly.
Otherwise, these would flow back into the river like a tidal wave. If Chen Ping'an is more ruthless, he can collect the spiritual energy from the upper reaches with the Saint Jade Tablet. However, if he uses this jade tablet across continents, which can make Liu Laocheng jealous in Shujian Lake, he can take it out and use it in Juluzhou. It would be very taboo, and it might lead to resentment and accountability from Yizhou Academy.
The two people behind the scenes, Chen Ping'an is more afraid of Yu Meng than Xia Zhen. The great monk involved in the Liang Kingdom worked carefully and step by step. He didn't even need to take action himself. He just sent two of his subordinates to obtain the important treasure that accompanied the city. In the end, if he hadn't broken through the formation at the Dragon Palace of Cangjun Lake, , the Golden Body Realm warrior who deliberately acted as a grandson among the Meng Liangfeng Qi Practitioners will definitely continue to hide.
When you see a Du Yu, you will have a general idea of the situation in the Ghost Ax Palace. The owner of the Shaoxi Canal and Mrs. Zaoqu will have a rough idea of the customs and customs of Cangyun Lake. They will know the outline of Baodong Wonderland by seeing Yan Qing, and they will know the style of Huangyue City by seeing He Lu. Of course, there will be errors., but as long as the longer we get along and the more monks we see, we will get closer and closer to the facts and the truth, and the eventuality will become smaller and smaller. Sometimes, you can still see the whole picture at a glance, that is, the Chenghuang Lord, Fan Weiran and Ye Han who are accompanying you, because they are all heads of the family, and the family tradition is often decided by them.
One looks up, the other looks down, and the two together are like the beginning and end of a vein. Once someone picks up both ends, you can't escape the eyes of others no matter how far you go.
The world is complicated, and if you want to live an easier and easier life, you can either cover your head with a quilt, live by yourself, accept hardship and enjoy happiness, or you can only watch and think more. The latter requires hard work, and one mountain is always higher than the other. Even the saints from all walks of life who sit in the small world are like God. As long as they step out of their own small world, they will still be tied up and dependent on others. They still need to look at the numerous things in the world. The context, the cumbersome rules.
Being reasonable may not be useful.
Knowing the rules is never a bad thing.
Is the Lord of Lake Yinhou unreasonable? But he knew how to find out other people's rules and caught Chen Pingan's way of doing things. Therefore, on Cangjun Lake, dark clouds covered the territory, and Chen Pingan did not dare to kill him, fearing that the lake, three rivers and two canals would flood. It has affected countless innocent people. In the Dragon Palace, he was no less worthy of death than Ye Hanfan Weiran, but he took the initiative to promise to protect the people under his jurisdiction in the future, repair the fate of the mountains and rivers, and make amends for his past mistakes, so not a single punch or sword from the sword fairy in white fell on his head.
Then the storyteller and his apprentice devoured the food.
Chen Pingan just drank the wine from the bowl slowly without moving his chopsticks.
The storyteller burped and said with a smile: "Young master didn't even move a chopstick. He just drank. Are you not hungry at all?"
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "Indeed not. I'm hungry. Besides, I think this meal should belong to the old man."
The old man said helplessly: "How come the young master's words are like a bald donkey talking about Zen, making people confused."
p>
Chen Pingan asked: "When will the old gentleman cross the border and go to Yinping Country?"
The old man smiled and said: "We are leaving now. Eat and drink enough. By the way, I will learn After learning some fortune-telling, Master invited me to have such a meal. Why don't you do a fortune telling for Master? Don't worry, I won't charge you."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao."
p>The old man took out a few copper coins that he had obtained earlier from his sleeves, threw them on the table, twirled his beard and pondered, silent.
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.
The old man gently moved the copper coins on the table with his fingers, frowned and said: "Young Master is kind-hearted and is a person with deep blessings, but you must also be careful. Blessed people will not fall into the land of unlucky people. The old saying has never been true. It's empty talk, please don't make general remarks. I think the young master can go anywhere during his trip to the Huaihuang Kingdom, except for Jicuo Mountain, which is more than a hundred miles ahead. As far as the young master is concerned, that is the place. It may not be a very dangerous place to be in an unlucky place, but if there are evil spirits blocking the way, it will not be beautiful after all.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Okay, then I will listen to the old gentleman and go around Jihuan Mountain."
The old man raised his head and said with a smile: "Young master, do you really believe it?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "How can you not believe what the old man said? Anyway, traveling to Huaihuang Country and taking a few extra steps on the detour is nothing." "
The old man stood up and praised: "Then I won't bother you, young master. I will leave first and get out of the gate quickly. Fortune-telling and revealing secrets are always disturbing. "
Chen Pingan nodded, "After I finish drinking this pot of wine, I will take a detour and go north. I won't go to Jihuan Mountain to seek trouble." ”
The old man left Bishan Building with his dull apprentice.
Chen Ping’an finished the pot of local specialty fly whisk wine and went downstairs to pay the bill. He was stunned for a moment. , then shook his head with a smile, and gave him a full twenty taels of silver with wine and food. It turned out that when the storyteller went downstairs, he secretly took away two pots of the twenty-year-old wine that is the treasure of Bishanlou Town Store. He said it was from Lou. Chen Pingan was not too concerned about the friend sitting on the table helping him pay the bill, because there was no need to guess the person's identity anymore. It saved him a lot of worries and distracted him from delaying his practice. It was still very cost-effective to pay more than ten taels of silver. .
In the end, Chen Pingan really bypassed the Jihuan Mountain. There are many waterfalls in the mountain, which is a beautiful place that he wants to visit.
— ————
In the bunting mountain
In a mid-mountain pavilion for people to rest
A young man with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, his face was expressionless. Tie Qing, flanked by Ye Han, Fan Weiran and a second-ancestor woman from Baodong Wonderland, was Xia Zhen who was lucky enough to escape death.
Xia Zhen roared: "Old man, why did you ruin my life? ! I have clearly told you that I have sent a letter to the great swordsman in the middle. This person is Jiang Shangzhen’s accomplice. Even if Jiang Shangzhen is hiding in the dark, he will still be frightened and cower! You scared away the bait this time. Once the Great Sword Immortal becomes angry, do you really think that you have refined the Xiantian Sword Pill and entered the upper five realms? ! Are you stupid? I have sworn that the semi-immortal weapon belongs to you. I only ask for the rest of his possessions. Are you still not satisfied? ! Do we both have to gain nothing to be happy? "
On a hilltop in the distance, an old man in a Confucian shirt smiled slightly. A storyteller and a dull-looking young man appeared beside him, and then they overlapped and became one person.
p>
It should be the immortal method of traveling far away together with the real body of the Yang God.
The old man smiled and said: "Don't scare me with these vain words, that's all. The temper of this great swordsman is such that even after receiving the secret message, he still disdains to act like this and still fish for fish. Do you really think that it is just a small fight among us in dozens of countries? Do you need to go to such trouble? "
The old man is the national master of Mengliang Kingdom. He pinched a messenger flying sword with two fingers and gently broke it into pieces. "What's more, the Great Sword Immortal has never received your message. Secret message. "
Xia Zhen's face was gloomy, and he suddenly smiled angrily, "Are you planning to form a deadly feud with me, Xia Zhen? ! "
The old master smiled and said: "The territory of these dozens of countries has a lot of spiritual energy now. It is a good and not a bad place. You and I have been neighbors for many years. You Xia Zhen is notoriously difficult to deal with. Although it has hurt the foundation of the avenue now, I still kill you. If you don't succeed, it will be harder for you to kill me. What we are competing is who can reach the upper five realms first, so why should I watch you send a message to the Immortal Mansion of the Great Sword Immortal in the middle? What if the Great Sword Immortal really hates me so much? Jiang Shangzhen was willing to lower his body and attack a young sword cultivator. When the time comes, you will lean on such a thigh and let others remember your friendship. I will be in the Yupu realm in the future. How can I have the nerve to follow you? Are you fighting for the territory of these dozen countries? Xia Zhen, it's a pity that you were so angry that you slowed down the speed of swallowing up the spiritual energy from the border. You also had to lead three lackeys in Jihuan Mountain. It took a full twenty years to carefully arrange the mountain-moving formation. In the end, it seemed that there was no chance to deploy it. Used? "
Xia Zhen sneered: "Aren't you here? ”
The old man pretended to be surprised, “That’s right, I just don’t know who is more lethal and powerful compared to my little sword pill embryo of yours, your Mountain Moving Formation.” There will be a fight between you and me sooner or later, so it would save trouble if we do it in advance. Today is not the same as before, you are strong and I am weak, and the wind and water take turns. You, Xia Zhen, can't see the situation clearly?
The Mengliang Kingdom's National Master smiled and shook his head, "But it's not that I look down on you, Xia Zhen. This talisman formation can indeed hurt him, but it may not be able to trap him." I'm helping you rein in the situation. You Xia really shouldn't be so kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, and dare to play a trick with Jiang Shangzhen on the basis of a secret letter that may or may not be lost in the sea. In order to prevent you from catching clues and blocking the news in these hundreds of years, I am not as well-informed as you, but I know more about some old things in the past than you, Xia Zhen. If you send a secret message to the Great Sword Immortal in the north, I will not intercept this flying sword.
The old man suppressed his smile and looked at Xia Zhen, his eyes full of sarcasm and pity, "Because that is a male swordsman, and his beloved only daughter was harmed by Jiang Shangzhen, which delayed his path. Naturally, no effort was spared to kill Jiang Shangzhen, but the woman you sent the letter to is a woman. It seems that you are not very clear about the grudges she had with Jiang Shangzhen back then. What she resented was not that she regretted her infatuation as the outside world said. Jiang Shangzhen, on the other hand, hates this person's transference and love affairs. If he really wants to meet Jiang Shangzhen in person, he will tell Jiang Shangzhen a few nonsense words and drink some **** soup. When the time comes, he will not be afraid of being raped by that female swordsman. Immortal, in turn, reward you and me with a sword? So you, Xia Zhen, are really not a good ally. If that young man had a higher moral character and was the same Nascent Soul as us, I would have to join forces with him to kill you. As for now, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, I will not fight with you, consume Taoism, you can slowly absorb the spiritual energy to recover, step by step, according to my deduction technique back then, your Nascent Soul The bottleneck will arrive a few minutes later than I do. Now it seems that your Taoist heart is actually still unstable. At the level of you and me, if you still behave in the wild cultivator style that took advantage of you back then, you will suffer a lot. ”
The Xingting Pavilion that Xia Zhen had set up suddenly turned into powder. Ye Han, Fan Weiran and the second ancestor of Baodong Fairyland were all forced out one after another, hovering in the wind, with panicked expressions on their faces.
The old man turned a blind eye and said, "You and I have finally formed an alliance to work together. I am hiding my name in Mengliang Country. Although it is true that I had an agenda at the beginning, the experience in the mortal world is really beneficial to the Taoist heart, so I can be everywhere I always make more money than you by suppressing you. Do you really think it’s just a calculation? No, it’s me who caught the opportunity of Yuan Ying Hedao earlier than you, Xia Zhen. Is Jiang Shang Zhenruo really that person? My friend, how could you intentionally create trouble? You just looked further ahead than you and I, and planned to have this happen. Are you not afraid? I am afraid, because this is a conspiracy, and I am willing to fall into the trap myself. Your good deeds are for me to establish a sect in the future and cover the territory of more than ten countries. For you, Xia Zhen, it is naturally a conspiracy. One after another, I even guessed that this one was defeated by me. The intercepted messenger flying sword was deliberately left to me by Jiang Shangzhen."
Xia Zhen restrained his momentum and said with a smile: "You are an old thief who ruined my life and disturbed my mood. You must have a good plan."
The old man sighed: "Xia Zhen, true or false, good or bad, no matter what my original intention is, sincere or false, according to the previous agreement, I will not deliberately prevent you from learning. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but I have already taken one step, no, it should be two steps, so when I break through the upper five realms in the future, I will give you another choice, which is to escape from this place and continue to live without a fixed place. Shanze Yexiu, can you still be the chief worshiper of my sect? You and I no longer need to fight for the unnecessary Dao Dao for this little land of mountains and rivers? Page)
Two Yupu, we share weal and woe, we are all closely related. You and I are both despised wild cultivators. Isn’t this an eternal story in Luzhou, Beiju?”
< p>Xia Zhen remained silent, looking up at the old man in Confucian shirt standing on the top of the mountain.Finally, Xia Zhen asked with a smile: "Did you have such a big appetite from the beginning and wanted to win me over as your sect's worshiper?"
The old man shook his head and said: " Under the upper five realms, even if you are what the world calls a land immortal, everyone will still follow the crowd. After I obtained the merits and rare treasures, my state of mind has now become more perfect, and I have such a broad-minded vision. Therefore, after Jiang Shangzhen injured you, I I have no intention of beating up the drowned dog. Otherwise, since I intercepted the flying sword, how could I watch you lingering in Jihuan Mountain? Even if you exchange injuries for injuries, you must also eliminate the roots. What kind of wild cultivator can't do that?"
Xia Zhen held down the sleeping horned green snake with both hands and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then have you ever thought that I have more than one flying sword for communication? Is it just a cover-up that you intercepted? Did I let you catch it on purpose? Why don't you calculate it, when Jiang Shangzhen left the city and returned to the south, and when I appeared in Jihuan Mountain, did I, Xia Zhen, have a chance for him and the Northern Sword Immortal? Show up together."
The old man sighed, "That's it. If you want to bet, it's up to you. You Xia Zhen is already here anyway.For those who are jealous of gambling, it is useless to talk too much. ”
Xia Zhen said with a ferocious smile: “Yes, I’ve become red-eyed with gambling now. If you keep standing here and talking without pain in your back, don’t blame me for trying to get hurt again. I also want you to refining more slowly.” Jianwan! "
The old man waved his hand, "That's all, just treat me as one of the few in my future sect who will be enshrined in Yupu Realm. "
Xia Zhen waved his sleeves and said sternly: "Get out of here, old dog. I'm annoyed by you!" ”
The old man laughed it off and disappeared.
Xia Zhen stood in the ruins of the pavilion, walking in a circle like a caged animal, and then waved his hands, including the bun and the mountain. Dozens of mountain peaks, large and small, rose up in the air like the roots of the mountain were cut by a knife. Xia Zhen controlled the mountain-moving formation. The peaks of the mountains pointed to the ground, hovered upside down, and then smashed to the ground one after another. Each time they hit the nearby mountains and rivers, It stirred up dust that covered the sky and covered the sun. The power of each mountain peak hitting the ground was already an astonishing killing power between the golden elixir and the Nascent Soul. It was a pity that this mountain-moving talisman formation was a dead thing and it took too long. , and couldn't be moved, the young swordsman who deserved to be killed by a thousand cuts was trying to frighten the old bastard. If he didn't go into the boundary of Jihuan Mountain, his magnificent move to move the mountain formation became a joke and a decoration, and he was dismissed by Xia Zhen. Use it to vent your anger.
Everyone within a thousand miles felt the shocking movement.
The hearts of Ye Han and the others were tense. >
In the end, Xia Zhen was about to pull out the roots of the mountain under his feet, drive it into the sea of clouds, and then smash it down high.
But Xia Zhen frowned <. /p>
On the ridge road, two people, three to be precise, came down.
A man and a woman who looked like Taoist monks stood side by side, talking and laughing. The woman was holding a swaddled baby in her hands. Her eyes were gentle.
The woman had an extremely slender snow-white sword hanging on her waist.
Xia Zhen was already in trouble.
As for the man, it was even more disturbing. Xia Zhen's spine felt chilly.
The man complained: "Mani Mani, it disturbed my and Sister Li's children, and they had to make funny faces for a while before they stopped. ”
Xia Zhen is really desperate this time.
The woman nicknamed Sister Li by men.
If it is really the person she guessed, today No matter how hard you try, you can't escape.
There is a female swordsman named Li Cai in the middle of Luzhou.
The sword is named Shuangjiao.
It is one of the sword immortals who did not go to Daoxuan Mountain together and is still in Beiju Luzhou.
To show respect, the sword immortal. He became a great swordsman.
It sounds far-fetched.
But the killing power is real.
Every Beiju Luzhou. None of the sword immortals in the upper five realms have any water. The monks in the Yupu realm, such as the one from the Qionglin Sect, even the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator are not very interested in provoking, and they would be embarrassed if they win. But if there is a new sword cultivator. After reaching the Jade Pu Realm, you almost have to fight with other sword immortals for several times. If you die, it is naturally bad luck.He is not very capable but dares to stand out. If he cannot bear the title of Sword Immortal, he will be defeated by death. But if you can survive, you will be qualified to stand together on the land of Beiju Luzhou.
Xia Zhen gritted his teeth, faced the mountain road, and saluted: "I have met Sword Immortal Li, and I have met Senior Jiang."
Then Jiang Shangzhen smiled playfully, "Hey, I know now Call me senior."
The woman frowned and said, "If you weren't sensible enough to know that Feijian sent me a letter, you would be dead by now, you wild cultivator. , Do you understand the etiquette? Please change the order."
Xia Zhen almost burst into tears on the spot, and said in a trembling voice: "I have seen Senior Jiang, I have seen Li Dajianxian!"
Jiang Shangzhen patted the female Sword Immortal's arm, "Don't be like this. Sister Li still doesn't know what kind of person Jiang Lang is? I never mind these false courtesy."
The woman snorted coldly. : "Your account will be settled later. Do you want to go to Shujian Lake to help you show off your dignity? I won't promise you."
Jiang Shangzhen looked at ease, bent down, lifted up a corner of his swaddling clothes, and laughed softly. Said: "Xiao Ni'er, the mother you just met is angry. Grow up quickly and learn how to speak so that you can help your father plead for mercy."
The corners of the woman's mouth raised and then lowered.
Poor Xia Zhen is going crazy.
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and looked at Xia Zhen, "You, like me back then, can fight and run, which is very valuable, so I left you half alive, thinking that as long as I met Li Sister, when we go south hand in hand, if you can live a little more peacefully, I won’t care too much about you. However, your ability to run away is half as good as mine, but your brain is muddled. The Mengliang Kingdom’s Imperial Master told you There are so many honest words, and they say that you are his biological son. It's better for you, but you can't listen to half of them. I, Jiang Shangzhen, was in Luzhou, Beiju. I saw many people who wanted to die, and then I helped them achieve it. A mountain person with a wish, but it’s really uncommon for you to seek death in such a way."
Xia Zhen said solemnly: "I beg Senior Jiang to give me another chance, one last time!"
p>
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "The Great Sword Immortal from the north was really secretly seduced by you. It's just that we, husband and wife, worked together to fight against the enemy, and finally managed to fight back. Near the great road in the middle , a huge river bed and a big hole were cut out, and now there should be a big lake in vain. Do you think it is fun or not? It is really difficult for him. A swordsman just wants to kill me, Jiang Shangzhen, and he still has to hold on. I have the temper to hide my head and tail, but luckily Sister Li is familiar with his swordsmanship. Otherwise, if I, Jiang Shang, were to be in Luzhou, Beiju, without any arms or legs, that swordsman would have killed him with a piece of tofu. The most dangerous one, you Xia Zhen, you are such a non-stop master, I am afraid of you, okay? Mr. Xia Zhen, I beg you, am I right?”
Xia Zhen There is really no hesitation anymore, there is absolutely no way to be kind!
A bang.
Hundreds of Xia Zhen transformed from the real body, flying in the wind, running wildly, or escaping to the ground, and fled one after another. As long as you can escape one of them, that's finelive! Even if such a very costly secret technique would cause more injuries to oneself, it would still be better than being beaten to death by two upper-level five monks.
Jiang Shangzhen said in surprise: "This was not the way to escape last time. Good guy, he is truly a fairy in the eyes of these ants. It scared me to death."
Jiang Shangzhen's side The female swordsman twitched the corner of her mouth and put her palm against the hilt of the sword. After a slight trembling sound, the sword was not unsheathed.
From all directions in Jihuan Mountain, there are strips of snow-white sword energy rolling in, either straight, winding or floating.
In an instant, the world was silent.
Jiang Shangzhen stretched out his hand, grabbed a golden elixir and a small person the size of a rice grain, and put them into the small world of Qiankun in his sleeve. He grabbed them again and put the languid green snake with horns on the ground together. In his sleeve, he said angrily: "I'm so annoyed that I have to make money and get treasure again!"
The female swordsman Li Cai glared at him. < /p>
Li Cai saw that the three people over there were an eyesore, and became impatient and asked, "What do you think of these three frogs in the well?"
Jiang Shangzhen looked at the three people sideways.
The three were already hovering in the air and kneeling.
Xia Zhen is the mountain immortal in their hearts.
He died in the blink of an eye?
Jiang Shangzhen moved gently and helped the woman pat one of her sleeves, "Why don't we forget it? In front of our daughter..."
As he spoke, a The willow leaves passed through the eyebrows of Ye Han and Fan Weiran in an instant, and finally sank into Jiang Shangzhen's body. He smiled and said: "Anyway, Xiao Ni'er is sleeping and can't be seen."
Two golden elixir monks The body fell into the foot of Jihuan Mountain.
Jiang Shangzhen didn’t even look at it.
The little tattered belongings they carry are worth me, Jiang Shangzhen, bending down and stretching out my hands? Delay me from making a lot of money?
Only the last second ancestor of Baodong Fairyland is left, a woman-looking monk of Longmen Realm, still trembling and lying on the ground.
The two began to ride the wind southward.
Li Cai was not surprised at all.
If it hadn't been for the talkative man next to me, I would have died at the golden elixir bottleneck.
That time Jiang Shangzhen lost half his life.
This was one of the few loss-making transactions during Jiang Shangzhen’s trip to Luzhou, Beiju.
But she still doesn’t know why he did this.
It was true that he liked herself back then, but it was just as much as he liked other beautiful women, maybe a little bit more, but he definitely shouldn't fight so hard for her.
She has been wanting to know the answer for so many years, and even made a special trip to Tongyezhou, but she failed to meet Jiang Shangzhen and Yu Guizong that timeThe old sect leader Xun Yuan said that Jiang Shangzhen had gone to the Yunku Paradise and would not return for the time being. The old sect leader also scolded Jiang Shangzhen for her, saying that such a ungrateful bastard should die in the Yunku Paradise. Miss Li had so many His eyes were dirty just by looking at him. He deserved to be in such chaos that he almost died inside... But Li Cai also knew that the old sect leader still told Jiang Shangzhen a lot of things about himself in a roundabout way, obviously hoping that he would not betray Jiang Shangzhen. Give up.
But until she reunited with Jiang Shangzhen, Li Cai, who is now a female swordsman in the middle of Luzhou in Beiju, did not want to know the answer.
Li Cai turned around and looked at it, and asked, "Aren't you going to say hello?"
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and said, "There are too many things involved with He Xiaoliang. You are with me. I am a foreigner and I am not afraid of trouble, but you are a monk here and I cannot bring you any trouble."
Li Cai smiled slightly.
She suddenly frowned and asked: "As for the Suijia City Heavenly Tribulation, I see Yunhai Yuyun and the weaker Nascent Soul are a big trouble. How did they stop it?"
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "What else can I do? I'm just trying my best. Sincerity is spiritual, and you still have to believe it occasionally. Human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and geography is not as good as heaven's principles. The one who pretends to be the national master of Mengliang Kingdom , After all, I have caught a little bit of the surface. It is not easy to see the sky in the Nascent Soul realm, so it is naturally a brighter future than Xia Zhen."
Li Cai nodded, convinced.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly said: "I heard that you have accepted an excellent female disciple? Now you are expected to be among the next ten."
Li Cai looked strange.
Jiang Shangzhen rolled his eyes and said: "Why are you worried about me? Rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests, and only one family likes one on the mountain. This is the purpose of me, Jiang Shangzhen, to walk on the mountain as fast as the wind, and to be as stable as a pine tree without falling for a thousand years!" "
Li Cai's face was frosty and he asked: "Then why do you ask?"
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that she will make the same mistake again. I want to learn from my master. Falling in love with a good man who is worth a lot of money."
Li Cai shook his head and said, "My disciple has a firmer heart than I did back then. I will never fall in love with a good woman in this life. This trick of pestering Lang will not work with my disciple."
Jiang Shangzhen laughed and said: "Wrong, I am afraid that she will pester my good brother."
Li Cai laughed endlessly.
Jiang Shangzhen said with a playful smile: "Sister Li, let's make a bet. If I lose, I will just let it go. But if you lose, Sister Li, you can be the name of my new sect in Shujian Lake." "?"
Li Cai nodded and said: "Yes!"
Jiang Shangzhen looked strange, "Sister Li learned my gambling skills personally, why this time? So refreshing?"
Li Cai smiled and said: "My disciple needs to be in seclusion for thirty years. Can that young man wander around Beiju Luzhou for thirty years?"
Jiang Shangzhen? He reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the female swordsman, "Good sister, please spare me this time."Bar?
Li Cai looked lonely and asked, "Can't you just like one person?" ”
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said, “We’ll wait until the day when Sister Li is one step ahead of me. "
Li Cai sighed, cut off some ripples with his heart sword, and went to the Skeleton Beach with Jiang Shangzhen, and took the Pima Sect cross-continental ferry to Aquarius Island.
It is said that The bastard next to me wants to go to a place called Luopo Mountain in Longquan County, Dali, and ask for a name to be enshrined as Zhou Fei in the Nascent Soul Realm.
From his tone, it seems that it is not possible. It can work.
Li Cai turned around and glanced at Jiang Shangzhen, who was thinking quietly.
When he started talking to others, he deserved a beating. , so he is very serious.
It is a pity that for such a person, it is said that the only woman he can't let go of in his life is actually an ordinary woman at the foot of the mountain. , gray-haired, died peacefully without any disaster.
Li Cai hesitated and said, "Jiang Shangzhen, if you met the same woman again today, would you still like her so much? "
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and said: "Of course not. "
Li Cai was a little puzzled.
Jiang Shangzhen said slowly: "When we first met in life, I saw a graceful girl in the mountains and fields, climbed high and saw the majestic mountains and rivers, raised my head and saw the immortal soaring in the clouds. When the wind sees the sun and moon hanging in the sky, it is a completely different scene from the similar scenes I have seen many times in the future. It doesn't necessarily mean that the person you met for the first time must be so beautiful, but the feeling lingers in your heart and will be unforgettable for thousands of years. "
Jiang Shangzhen smiled again and turned his head, "Just like when I first met Sister Li, she was walking up the fragrant steps with her stockings in her hands and her gold lace shoes in her hand..."
Li Caixian was shy. He said angrily: "Shut your stupid mouth! "
Jiang Shangzhen said softly: "Madam, don't be shy, my husband is confused. ”
————
Yuhu County, Huaihuang State.
There are many notices from the government and wealthy families posted at the gate of the county city. They were all about inviting experts to do things at home, and most of them ended with words saying that they would be rewarded with a lot of money. As for the specific amount of money, there was no mention of it.
Chen Pingan looked carefully at the things under the wall. Notice, it seems that there is quite a chaos inside and outside the county town.
After buying some dry food items in the county town, Chen Pingan settled in the inn that night and sat on the roof to drink quietly.
Sure enough, on the streets of the county town late at night, there was a snow-white figure flying around, tongue hanging out, face distorted, her feet off the ground, floating around, but she had a weak evil spirit, as long as it was in every house with a door god posted on it, Regardless of whether she has any spiritual energy or not, she will not go. Now the county guards have been replaced by two bold young men with strong yang energy. The Yamen also specially gave them a reward, which can buy two bottles of wine every day. The dead female ghost tried to get close to them several times, but as soon as she got close, she was knocked away by the invisible Yang Qi. After hitting the wall several times, she walked away in anger, going to some poor people in the market to scratch the walls of the Chaimen courtyard, and some slept in the courtyard.The ones with deep meanings and thunderous snoring could not hear the movement outside at all. Only some of them were light sleepers, shivering with fear, which made her giggle, which became more and more terrifying.
Chen Pingan saw that the hanged man had not really entered the house and harmed anyone, so he pretended not to have seen it.
Lie on the eaves, cross your legs, take out the folding fan and gently shake the breeze.
The most fearful thing about the veins is that they will stretch out, and the two ends cannot be clearly seen. Once they reach the blue sky and fall to the underworld, there will be past and next lives, and the height, height, and front and back are all uncertain.
I am even more afraid of the branches on a line intertwining and forking out countless thin lines. Good and evil are blurred and intertwined with each other, making it a mess.
Especially when a line is stretched and it is no longer just a matter of fact, then the further you look, the more difficult it will be.
Just like the female ghost scares people and disturbs the people, it is not wrong for any cultivator to kill her, and it is reasonable to accumulate evil virtue, but if we look a little further, the ordinary people around Yuhu County , knowing that there are ghosts between heaven and earth, and in the future, when you have evil thoughts and want to do evil, should you think more about the saying that good and evil are rewarded, and the world is reincarnated? That female ghost wanders around at night. As long as she has never really harmed anyone, how can we calculate right from wrong? Or why did she hang herself to death that year? Why did she persist in her obsession and become a ghost? What injustice was done to her?
Chen Pingan closed his eyes and slept until dawn.
Nowadays, practice is everywhere and all the time, so it doesn’t matter how you travel at the moment, or how fast or slow you go.
In the early morning of that day, when Chen Ping'an was leaving the city, he saw a group of four people carelessly unveiling a government official list. It seemed that they were going directly to find trouble with the group of ghosts who had stolen the temple.
Chen Pingan was a little confused. These four people, two women and two men, were not wearing bright clothes. They were not pretending to be poor, but they were really not rich. The oldest one was a second-level martial artist. The middle-aged man, that young man should be his apprentice, barely a pure martial artist. As for the two women, they seem to be sisters, and they are also Qi practitioners who have just set foot on the road of monasticism. The spiritual energy contained in the Qi Palace is so weak that it can almost Ignore.
If the great monk from Mengliang Kingdom pretending to be a storyteller could let Chen Pingan see the cultivation level of a second-level qigong practitioner, but he chose to be wary, it was actually due to the weather.
The four men and women in front of me are really just shallow.
It is probably not difficult to deal with the white-clothed hanged female ghost floating in the county town, but the temple outside the city is clearly a swarm of ghosts, and it dares to occupy a temple that originally had good incense. After expelling all the monks, the four of them should be very difficult to deal with. If they are not careful and do not use the means of saving their lives, they may end up making dumplings in the temple.
Chen Pingan thought for a while and did not go out of the city directly. Listening to the whispers of the four of them that no one thought they could hear, some of them first went to the shops in the city to buy more yellow paper to draw talismans and transfer the gold ingots on their bodies. Trivial words ground into gold dust, a young girl with two blushes on her cheeks said that it would be best to ask for some deposit from the government, and then pass the governor's request.Official document, go to the Chenghuang Temple and Wenwu Temple to borrow some incense-infused utensils. We will have a better chance of winning, and the trip to Jinduo Temple will be more secure.
The young man complained a little, saying why he didn't subdue those fox spirits and rabbit charms. With two rewards in total from the government and the wealthy family, it would be easier to earn money and the risk would not be great.
The slender, middle-aged older woman explained to the young man in a low voice that once the ghosts of Jinduo Temple knew their whereabouts, they would be on strict guard and it would be even more difficult to succeed.
Chen Pingan listened to their conversation in a very serious tone, not at all relaxed, not as heroic as the man when he took off the notice.
Chen Pingan left the county and went to the Jinduo Temple outside the city, which was thirty miles away.
Then we stopped at a roadside pavilion seven or eight miles away from Jinduo Temple, where we rested and waited. Outside the pavilion was the gurgling stream of the mountain.
We waited until noon to see the four people in the group.
Chen Pingan started walking towards Jinduo Temple without waiting for them to approach.
Carrying a bamboo box on his back and holding a hiking pole, he slowed down his pace, like a frail scholar struggling to walk.
The four of them quickly followed the scholar in white. When they passed each other, the leading man was holding a large incense stick. He glanced at the man and quickly looked away, seemingly The honest and dull young man grinned, and the scholar smiled back at him. The young man laughed even harder. Even though he had turned his head, he did not close his mouth immediately.
The older woman frowned, but did not speak. Her sister wanted to speak, but she grabbed her sleeve and signaled her sister to be quiet. The girl gave up, but the two lumps of natural blush After the young girl walked out a few steps, she still couldn't help turning her head and asked with a smile: "You, a scholar, are you going to Jinduo Temple to burn incense? Don't you know that the people in Yuhu County are not going, so you are better off, Is it because I want to get the top spot?"
The scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, and said with a smile: "I just came to Yuhu County, and a friend who is familiar with the monks of Jinduo Temple said You can stay there and study, it’s quiet and doesn’t cost any money.”
Just as the girl was about to speak, her sister pinched her arm, causing her face to wrinkle in pain, and she turned around and whispered. : "Sister, it's broad daylight and the sun is shining brightly. There won't be any temple ghosts nearby to spy on the news. If this scholar follows to Jinduo Temple and we fight those ghosts, will we save him or not? No. Is it even more difficult? Anyway, if I don’t save him, I will just kill the monster and earn money, but I still can’t bear it in my conscience. Breaking into the cave, this guy is really, with such bad luck, he has no chance of being named on the gold list."
Her sister sighed and flicked the girl's forehead hard with her finger." Try to speak as little as possible. If you stop the scholar, you will no longer be willful. You must obey me on this trip to Jinduo Temple!"
The girl slowed down happily!He walked side by side with the scholar, getting further and further away from the three people in front of him.
The girl's first sentence was very clever, "Has this scholar ever been married? What do you think my sister looks like?"
The foreigner who is studying abroad The scholar smiled and said: "Girl, please don't say it's a joke."
The girl suddenly laughed, "I'm teasing you.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"
Then the girl said with a straight face, "The next step is no longer a joke. The Jinduo Temple is very dangerous now. A large group of vicious ghosts appeared out of nowhere and drove away the monks in the dusk. Even an abbot who knew some Buddhism died on the spot, and many monks and pilgrims who could not escape died. They occupied the temple, but they are really good at eating people, so don’t go. Now there is not even a bald monk in the temple. No. I'm really not trying to scare you. If you don't believe me, you can go to the county and ask around. If I lie to you, your trip will be in vain. But if I don't lie to you, wouldn't you be in vain to get the exam? Fame and glory?"
The scholar asked: "Then how do you burn incense?"
The girl stamped her foot and said: "You can't see that we are slaying demons? A talented person?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Where in the world are the monsters and monsters, please stop tricking me."
The woman and the man in front are facing each other. Looking at it, everyone shook their heads.
The young man even twitched his lips.
Only the girl with pleasing blush was a little anxious, "My sister said that you scholars are stubborn and it is the most difficult to turn back. If you continue to be so ignorant, I will knock you out with one punch and then kill you." You left it at the pavilion, but this is also dangerous. If one or two ghosts escape at night and let them smell the human scent, you will still die. You are stupid in reading. Goose, hurry up!”
The scholar said stupidly: “I’m so hungry right now and so short of money. I really can’t afford to walk back and forth from the county town. I’ll be at Jinduo Temple later. Take a look outside and see that if there are no pilgrims or monks, I will turn around and leave immediately."
The girl lamented: "My sister said that those ghosts with advanced spiritual skills can use magical powers to cover the sky with evil spirits. The dark clouds are hiding from the sun. How can you run then?"
The girl shouted to the front: "Sister, I'd better take this stupid goose back to the county first. In the worst case, I'll run faster. , we must arrive at Jinduo Temple before dark."
Her sister said angrily: "We have chosen the time in advance, because we are worried that the ghosts in the temple may appear during the day, so we try to put up as many talismans as possible. , once those evil spirits can control the dark clouds and cover the temple, what will we do without you? Do you want to help the three of us collect the bodies afterwards? Have you forgotten the previous incident? ”
The girl was unhappy, and she said, dejectedly, and said to the scholar: "Scholar, let's go. We don't know each other, so we won't make fun of you and deliberately lie to you that Jinduo Temple is haunted by ghosts."
But that readsThe scholar made her so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. He even insisted on going to the entrance of Jinduo Temple to have a look.
She was about to reach out and punch him, and he was kind enough to treat her like a donkey, but she couldn't just watch him risk his life.
Unexpectedly, the nerd took a step back and said, "Girl, please don't hit anyone. A gentleman talks but never strikes. If I knock you out and leave you alone in the pavilion, someone else will steal it." You stole my bamboo box, will you pay me?"
The girl turned around, quickly followed her sister, and raised her hand to wipe her face vigorously.
She wondered how there could be such unconscionable people in the world.
She was almost heartbroken.
But she couldn't help but turn around and see that the guy was really following him.
When she hesitated to take a black punch, good guy, he was not smart when he should be smart and not stupid when he should be stupid. He actually stood still and did not move forward.
The girl was about to scold him a few words, but her sister had already grabbed her arm, "Stop being ridiculous!"
The girl lowered her head.
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly.
Looks like you let a good man down.
He still followed slowly, the distance between the two sides getting farther and farther.
The girl just wanted to turn around, but her sister angrily scolded: "You have to kill us to make you happy, right? Aren't you afraid that that person is actually an evil accomplice?"
The girl finally stopped turning around.
Walk with your head down, one pebble at a time.
Her sister lamented, "With your temper, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. How many times have we seen good intentions and evil retribution along the way?"
The girl "Oh," he said without refuting.
In the distance, the scholar in white clothes was bored. He moved the stones back to their original positions with a hiking stick and said with a smile: "Is this really true?"
Approaching Jinduo Temple, the girl Turning around secretly, the mountain road twists and turns, and the scholar can no longer be seen.
The four of them walked another mile, and their vision suddenly became clearer. The young woman said solemnly, "We're here."
The man nodded.
I saw that the faint evil spirit in Jinduo Temple was flowing erratically, but it was extremely thin and dispersed in the wind. The woman said doubtfully: "It seems something is not right. Last night we looked at the temple from a distance, and the evil spirit was not there." There should be so few."
The man thought for a moment and said, "This is a good thing. Maybe the sun is shining brightly, forcing those filthy ghosts to escape, which is just the right time for us masters and disciples to put up talismans and scatter talismans. Nuomi is like a dog's blood, and you will set up a formation. At dusk, when the sky is bright, you will use thunder to beat them out of the ground. When the time and place are right for these evil creatures, we will be safe."
< p>The young woman nodded, turned to the eager sister and said: "Cheer up, don't take it lightly, there are endless tricks of evil things, if this Jinduo Temple is really a trap to lure the enemy deep, we will eat it" No need to walk around. ”The girl's eyes were shining brightly, "Sister, don't worry."
At the gate of Jinduo Temple, the girl with red cheeks and a strong figure swept up the wall and lay on the ground in front of the hall. Many of the bones should be those monks and pilgrims who died unfortunately. She quickly threw out a yellow paper talisman written with expensive gold powder and just pasted it on the lintel of the main hall. There was no sign of burning on the talisman. After a moment, she turned around and The head said: "There are no ghosts in the front hall yet. Uncle Song can rest assured to stick amulets on the temple door. After entering, just throw rice around the wall."
Then the two sisters began to take the lead in entering. In the temple, ordinary yellow paper talismans are posted on the walls and pillars. Only in some important places, such as the door of the main hall and the plaque, are the rare talismans made of gold powder ground into red ink posted.
The master and the apprentice even threw the incense stick casually outside the temple. They took off the packages and took out cotton bags containing heavy amounts of aged glutinous rice, as well as several black dogs. The bloody cowhide water bag began to "set up the formation" from the front hall through familiar routes.
Until the end of this vast temple, the four of them met, all safe and sound.
In a side hall with a closed door, the girl said that the evil spirit was very strong, so they worked together to post dozens of yellow paper talismans on the doors, windows, and roof ridges. The young woman personally posted the talismans on the roof, and then The girl began to remove the tiles piece by piece, letting the sunlight shine into the side hall. There was a wailing sound and the sound of black mist being burned to ashes by the sunlight.
The four of them finally landed at the door of the side hall.
Look at each other and smile.
The young woman is holding a demon-binding rope that she bought when she lost her entire family and spent forty pieces of snow!
Her sister was even weirder. She had been muttering something before, squatting on the ground, taking out an embroidery bag, and untying the knot, and the ancient copper coins of various shapes rolled around on their own.
As for the master and apprentice, they were using their bare hands. However, the man hung a circle of darts around his waist, engraved with talismans and seal scripts. It was obviously not a secular weapon of a martial artist.
The woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that the evil spirits in the temple are not as advanced as both parties expected, and they are very afraid of the sun. And if nothing unexpected happened, there were not dozens of evil spirits gathered in Jinduo Temple at all. It was just that the people of Yuhut County were too afraid and spread rumors, which gave them the opportunity to make a lot of money.
What a stroke of luck!
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s good luck!
Previously at the county magistrate's office, I had a lot of bargaining with the official who was asking for help. I coaxed, lied and threatened, and then I got the government's promise to pay five thousand taels of silver. If It's just this little money, even if they go through a lot of hardships and suppress the ghosts entrenched in Jinduo Temple, it is definitely not worth it, and it is not worth it if there are casualties. But in addition to the reward offered by the government office, there are also The bulk of the income was the other 30,000 taels of silver promised by the prefect, and the 30,000 taels of silver that the wealthy pilgrims in the city were willing to chip in to top up. In this case, it is worth taking the risk to visit Jinduo Temple..
I never thought I would pick up a big leak in vain.
The man was overjoyed, looked around, and was very satisfied. As long as he cleaned up the ghosts in the side hall, he could go back home and ask the government office for the thirty-five thousand taels of silver. Then he would follow the instructions in advance. If it's thirty-seven points, the master and apprentice should also have ten thousand taels of silver to make a difference.
Sure enough, today is an auspicious day for slaying demons!
Then the two sides started to really take action. After the girl's copper coins circled the side hall, they stood up one by one. When the girl put her fingers together and recited the chant silently, they instantly burrowed into the ground. , the girl turned pale and looked at her sister.
The young woman nodded and whispered to the man: "My sister and I will go to the roof first to try to see how deep the ghosts are. If they are forced out, take action immediately. Don't let them go." They fled underground elsewhere in the temple. If they can't hide, you can just demolish this side hall while the sun is still strong. My sister's copper coins can be used as a prison under the ground, but they won't last long, so take action when the time comes. You must be quick."
The man nodded and just reminded: "Don't worry."
The two sisters went to the roof of the side hall again, throwing yellow paper talismans inside. A precious talisman with a gold powder seal script pattern.
The young man also took out a bronze mirror. The mirror was tilted and illuminated the windows of the side hall.
A young scholar in white clothes and carrying a bamboo box is actually sitting on the roof not far away, but he has a secret carrying tablet talisman of Ghost Ax Palace affixed to him. With the cultivation of the four people, naturally Out of sight.
What follows is a "heart-stirring" fight.
Black smoke billowed into the sky, even if it was swarmed with talismans one after another, and the young woman was beaten repeatedly with the demon-binding rope, the black smoke was scattered. There were also young men who used bronze mirrors to shine and burn, and even more A man's dart penetrated, and the black smoke seemed to have escaped from the cage of the side hall and was still raging unbridled. When the black mist dispersed by the demon-binding ropes, talismans and bronze mirrors floated away, it turned into a It was like a world where ghosts hit a wall, and the four of them were trapped in it. Even if the girl tried her best to control each talisman, she could only transform into slender fire dragons, unable to break through the wall of black fog that blocked the sky and let the sun shine through. Among them, four people were suddenly in danger. The sisters, master and apprentice were all back to back, and they were already injured. In order to save the young man holding the mirror, the girl was hit in the back by a black smoke. She vomited blood, but she still struggled to get up and continued to hold the mirror. She took out a pile of yellow paper talismans that she had drawn one by one, pinched and threw the talismans, and finally turned into a talisman fire dragon, which wanted to surround the four people even if it exhausted its own spiritual energy.
The scholar in white frowned, slapped his forehead, and said helplessly: "With your little ability, you still dare to come to Jinduo Temple to slay demons and eliminate demons. This is because I have killed ten demons for you." What a vicious creature."
He smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
The black smoke that had previously lost some kind of restraint suddenly stagnated and turned into a ferocious ghost more than ten feet tall when it hit the ground.After being exposed to the sun, he was finally killed by those four people in a dangerous situation.
The girl bent over, wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and nose, and said with a bright smile: "Sister, I didn't hold you back this time, did I?!"
The young man who survived the disaster The woman's eyes were red, and she walked quickly to her side, supported her sister who was already unsteady, and glared: "You are trying to be a hero, stop talking, and take good care of your injuries."
The young man looked at the mirror in his hand that was already there. The broken ancient mirror then glanced at the panting master next to him. The latter was stunned for a moment, then saw the fierce look in the young man's eyes, hesitated, and nodded lightly.
The man looked around and laughed and said: "Miss Xining, girl Tsuen, today is a Qingming Festival. It seems that all the demons have been eliminated. Why don't we just spend the day cultivating in the temple today and go to the county town tomorrow?"
The young woman frowned, "Although Jinduo Temple has indeed lost its evil spirit, the evil spirit has been entrenched for a long time after all. If there is a fish that slips through the net, my sister and I have already used up the talismans and are powerless. If we fight again, it would be better to return to the county quickly."
The young man shook his head and said: "Sister Xining, if we go too early, the prefect of the county will definitely think that it is too easy for us to conquer the demons. If we really meet a shameless person, we can probably take away the five thousand taels of silver written on the paper, but it's hard for us to say whether the prefect will have the evil intention to steal the 30,000 taels of silver. Not only can we not leave today, but we have to demolish some more temple walls so that we can get the full reward when we turn around. We also have to tell the prefect deliberately that one or two evil spirits have escaped here. After we get the money, we have to go again. Add five thousand taels to complete the task of eradicating evil."
The girl rolled her eyes, quickly covered her mouth and turned her head, vomiting blood again, which was a bit embarrassing.
The young woman thought about it, nodded and smiled: "That's it. We will return to the county town tomorrow. Let's stay in the temple for one night. My sister just needs a good rest."
At this moment, a panicked scholar in white ran out from the side passage of the front hall, "Why are there so many bones on the ground in the front hall of the temple? Why can't even a single monk see them... Could there really be a demon at work..."
The girl was annoyed by him now, but seeing that he was still alive and kicking around made her feel a little relieved.
Afterwards, the master and the apprentice went to collect the remaining talismans and put the old glutinous rice back into the bag, which would be needed in the future.
The young woman chose a secluded wing of the temple where wealthy pilgrims could live and copy scriptures. The girl sat cross-legged in the corridor and began to breathe.
Her sister continued to visit various places to avoid any accidents.
The cowardly scholar must follow them, pick up the bamboo box, and sit on the steps as a doorkeeper.
In the dusk, the young woman returned, searched for some rare books, scriptures and other items that seemed to be relatively valuable, packed them in a large package, and carried them back.
The girl opened her eyes and smiled at the scholar's back: "It's going to be night soon, and there will be evil spirits around soon."If you show up in coax, why don't you run away?
The scholar in white turned his head and smiled at her: "The book says that people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are more afraid of human hearts." But I think you are a good person, girl, so it is better to stay with you. "
The girl thought hard and raised her fist, "Are you praising me or scolding me? If you keep acting like this, don't you think I'll hit you? ! "
The scholar raised his hands and said, "A gentleman talks but never moves. ”
The girl let out a laugh, with amusement all around, “I’m not a gentleman, I’m a woman. Come on, let me give you a punch and make you smarter. If you don’t think so, you can be named on the gold list.” !
That man was really a nerd who had read stupidly. He actually smiled and said: "I think the girl acts openly and aboveboard, has a kind heart, and is no worse than a gentleman." "
The young woman looked displeased, "Since the young master is a scholar who claims to be a gentleman, he should know some etiquette of guarding men and women. Why are you still staying here shamelessly? Is it appropriate?
The girl felt that the scholar had become smarter again, and she heard him say: "I am not a gentleman, I am just a poor scholar. There is really a ghost in Jinduo Temple. I can't run out and die, so I'd better stay here." good. "
The young woman said sternly: "Get out! "
The girl was about to speak, but was frightened by her sister's glare.
The scholar had no choice but to walk out of the yard with the bamboo box in his hands.
Mostly at the base of the wall. Thinking about it while facing the wall?
The girl said softly: "Sister, why are you so fierce? You are just a nerd.
The young woman frowned and said: "You need to recuperate now, and you can't make any mistakes. This person appears on the incense burning road, which is already weird. Following us into Jinduo Temple is even more unusual, if not He walked on this road before us. Let alone driving people away with words, I will not be vague about my actions against him. "
She said softly: "Okay, you continue to rest. "
The girl nodded, but still glanced sideways at the courtyard door.
Her sister laughed angrily and said: "There are no ghosts anymore. We are the five living people. He But if you just sleep outside in fear all night, you won't worry about your own sister? We are not worried about them fighting side by side with us, but we are worried about what he, an outsider, will do. Why, seeing that he is a scholar, you are tempted? I told you, this scholar is the most unreliable in the world..."
The girl begged: "Okay, okay, I will practice now, practice well! ”
The night is dark.
The girl is sitting on the corridor, breathing quietly and immersed in her mind.
The young woman is sitting on the steps and taking a rest. Dare to sleep to death.
After all, we were at Jinduo Temple.
Suddenly, a handful of darts shot through the air.
A familiar figure kept striding forward.
Although the young woman was frightened and shocked, she still shook her sleeves and scattered the sharp darts.
A sharp knife was thrown straight at her sister's neck. It was a young man squatting on the wall who took action.
The young woman let a dart pierce her shoulder and flew away. She grabbed the sharp knife that was only two inches away from her sister's neck with her hand, but the man who was a pure martial artist had already He walked up to her side and punched her temple. The blow caused her to break through the wall and most of the windows, and she crashed into the side room. She vomited blood and struggled several times, but she couldn't get up.
The young man lightly jumped off the wall and said with a wicked smile: "Master, can you please stop killing Tsuen girl? It would be best if sister Xining is also killed, and these two gods can be destroyed." Just use your hands and feet."
The man raised his palm and slapped the girl who forcibly interrupted the conversation. He shook his head and said: "This little girl is more difficult. Master will help you keep her sister. ."
The young man laughed and said, "You will gain both wealth and wealth!"
The man suddenly turned his head, grabbed the girl's neck with one hand, and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
The young man also quickly came to the man's side.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a head poked out and timidly said: "Buddhist Pure Land, it's not good for you to do these things, right?"
The livid-faced girl's lips slightly trembled. He moved, as if he wanted to remind the silly goose to run away.
The man seemed to have seen the girl's appearance, and was stunned for a moment, "This good little girl, you want me to save you? Don't worry, I am the most chivalrous person, and I have read so many sages. Book, to be honest, I have actually accumulated a lot of righteousness, and I am so happy..."
The girl tried her best to shake her head, with tears falling down her cheeks.
The little girl has two lumps of blush.
Very cute.
The man's eyes slowly narrowed, and he no longer had that stupid look. He appeared openly from the courtyard door, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers, "Come out, some people are here." People in this world should be eaten by ghosts in the underworld."
The two masters and apprentices saw a fierce ghost that was more than ten feet tall walking out from behind the good-for-nothing scholar. , far better than the previous one.
The man immediately let go of the girl's neck and said, "Young master is actually the ghost king here. It's all a misunderstanding. In fact, our master and disciple have no intention of offending your place. They are all two cultivators who are greedy for merit." And the reward..."
The fierce ghost turned into a ball of billowing black smoke, instantly wrapping the man in it, and immediately heard the tearing of flesh and blood, the bursting of bones, and his heart-rending shouts.
The young man was not frightened by this, and still had the strength to tiptoe, jump up on the wall, and quickly go away.
Li Gui seemed to have received the order, let go of the dead man, swept across the courtyard wall, and chased after him. Soon, the same tragic sound was heard.
Then a ray of sword light fell from the sky, and the ghost outside wailed loudly, resounding throughout the world. It was estimated that it could be heard in the county and city, and it must have scared countless people, but soon the world became silent.
Girls’ EyesStunned, he asked foolishly: "Are you the King of Ghosts?"
The scholar smiled, sat on the steps and asked: "What do you think?"
The girl Suddenly said: "Don't eat me yet, I'm going to see my sister first."
The scholar nodded: "Okay."
The girl wanted to glare at him, but When he thought that he was most likely the ghost king of Jinduo Temple, he quickly went to see his sister and helped her out of the house.
The young woman smiled bitterly and was speechless, waiting to die.
She could see clearly what was going on outside earlier.
The girl looked at the pool of flesh and blood on the ground with a complex expression and sad eyes.
How could this happen?
She did not die at the hands of a ghost, but almost died at the hands of the master and disciple who traveled most of Huaihuang Kingdom with them.
They usually look pretty good.
When they walked out of the house, the scholar in white had already stood up and walked to the yard. He just turned to the little girl and said: "Looking back, your sister will definitely tell you in a more confident tone. This is always the case in the world. What a bad person. Little girl, you don’t have to be disappointed. Things in the world are either always like this or right. No matter how many times you have seen and encountered them, over and over again, one after another, I hope you will remember that you are still right. "
The man took out a bamboo hat and put it on his head, "You see, good people will repay evil people with bad consequences, at least tonight it is true."
The man walked out of the yard. Then, he suddenly leaned back and said with a bright smile: "Little girl, you are very beautiful. You will definitely find your right husband in the future."
The little girl was dumbfounded and wiped the tears on her face, "Hate! "
The little girl suddenly remembered the golden light, her eyes sparkled, "You are actually a sword fairy, right?"
The man stood up slowly and smiled: " I am a swordsman who is too stupid to read."
After that, the man turned into a white rainbow, rose up from the ground, and headed north.
