Jiu Ze casually threw out the isolation array plate, sat opposite the stall owner with Qi Xiuhan, and listened quietly.

"Xiao Lao'er has lived in the suburbs of the city for generations, and Xiao Lao'er does not want to farm, so he has been setting up a stall in Ancheng for decades, and has always wanted to save money to buy a cottage in the city, so that the family, especially the little grandchildren, can have the opportunity to enter the school. However, the housing prices in the city are the same every year, and the little old man's family has only made up enough for a fraction. Later, I simply didn't want to think about it, so I renovated and expanded the house on the outskirts of the city several times, and it was comfortable to live in. ”

The stall owner's voice gradually lowered, and after the last sentence was finished, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

After a while, he continued: "Who knows, when it comes, Xiao Lao'er really lives in the city," the stall owner shook his head, and there was suppressed pain in his voice, "But Xiao Lao'er's home is also scattered." ”

Jiuze's hand clenched unconsciously.

"A few immortals passed by our village that year, and they took a fancy to the feng shui of our village and decided to build an immortal garden there. The immortal garden of the immortal elders is naturally grand and quiet, so the immortal elders have requisitioned our entire village. ”

When Jiu Ze heard this, his eyes sank, and anger rose from his heart.

"Let's listen again. Qi Xiuhan patted Jiu Ze's shoulder and said.

Jiu Ze pressed his anger and listened to the stall owner continue: "Little Lao'er understands that it is everyone's blessing that the Immortal Chief can take a fancy to the feng shui of our village, and the Immortal Chief has also decided to give us some compensation. But in addition to asking for land, the fairy chief also asked the village boys to act as laborers and build a courtyard for the fairy elders, and my unfortunate son, when he was repairing the attic for the fairy elders, fell down and died. ”

"My son's blood defiled the blessed land where the immortals had cast the law, and the immortals were furious, confiscated all our family property, and originally asked me to continue to work on behalf of my son, but later an immortal chief saw that my grandson was quite wise, and took him as an apprentice, which spared our family from punishment, and also gave us this small courtyard in the city.

But my old woman couldn't turn around in her heart, and she went not long after entering the city. My daughter-in-law there was thinking about my grandson, and after taking care of the old woman's funeral, she wanted to go back to the village to see, and she never came back. ”

"Xiao Lao'er doesn't know what happened to her, Xiao Lao'er also went to look for it, but he didn't believe it. Maybe halfway through remarriage and happiness. ”

"Didn't you think something might have happened to her?" Jiu Ze couldn't help but ask.

"How could something happen? The little old man went to look for it, looked for it all the way, asked all the way, no one saw her, even the little old man on the nearby hills, and there was no new soil. ”

"She is going back to the village to see my grandson, and the grandson follows the immortals, what can happen?"

After the stall owner finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, muttering in a low voice: "What can happen......

Jiuze listened heartbreakingly.

Presumably, the stall owner also understands in his heart, so he would rather believe that his daughter-in-law will not come back if she remarries, rather than believe in another possibility.

"Then have you seen your grandson?" Qi Xiuhan asked.

"I can't see it," the stall owner said, "There is a difference between immortals, and the little old man wants to see it, but the immortals say that if they insist on seeing it, it will damage the Dao heart of the grandson, which is equivalent to ruining the immortal fate of the grandson, so they will bring the grandson back." When Xiao Lao'er heard this, where did he dare to mention it again, if there can be a fairy fate, how many people can't ask for it after burning high incense for several lifetimes!"

"Little Lao'er just wants to guard this wonton stall now, and when his grandson has learned in the future, he has also become an immortal, maybe one day he can smell the smell of this family and come back to see me, and Xiao Lao'er will be content. ”

Jiuze didn't feel good when he heard it.

The reason for the dispersion of the stall owner's family was that the so-called "immortal chiefs" acted recklessly and bullied others. But until now, even in the process of narration, he has not complained a word of dissatisfaction and complaints about those "immortal chiefs", and when he mentions those people, he is still respectful, and even hopes that his grandson can become "immortal chiefs".

People are afraid of strong, Jiu Ze understands, but he still can't help but feel a little emotional.

"Besides these, do you know anything else about these fellow practitioners?" Jiu Ze remembered that another old man had spoken up during the day to dissuade the young man who had been kicked out of the wonton stand, so he asked, "Is there anything more sensational?"

The stall owner glanced at Jiu Ze hesitantly.

Qi Xiuhan smiled and said, "What other concerns do you have?"

The stall owner's mouth moved, and finally he just sighed and said, "Okay, Xiao Lao'er said one thing, and said two things." If you want to talk about sensational things, the most sensational thing should be twenty years ago. ”

"Twenty years ago, a lot of immortals suddenly came to Ancheng, and they all entered the inner city, and the specific little old man is not clear, these immortals rarely come to the outer city on weekdays. However, on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, the emperor invited these immortal elders to go upstairs to pray for blessings. There were many people that night, and the palace also sent someone to build a prayer ladder at the junction of the inner and outer cities. It is said to be a ladder, but it is actually a three-story wooden tower, but it cannot be renamed with the prayer tower, which is called a prayer ladder. ”

"For that prayer, the palace ordered to find ten old people with good fortunes, thirty girls with pure wisdom and seventy blessing dolls in the outer city. When praying for blessings, sit in the tower. ”

"Later, the tower somehow caught fire......"

"What about the people, have you been rescued?" asked Kusawa clenching his fists.

The stall owner shook his head, and his tone was full of confusion: "No, the emperor ordered that no one should be rescued, saying that the people in the prayer ladder are hypocrites and deceive everyone, so they will attract heavenly punishment when praying for blessings, and that fire is a heavenly fire, which specializes in burning all evil ......"

"But those people have families, and if others don't save them, their families can't see them burned alive, so they ignore the emperor's order to save people. But we, the little people, how can we disobey the will of heaven. Those men were quickly taken down by the Protectors and executed on the spot. ”

"That night, I cried and grabbed the ground. The emperor also decreed that that night because of the deception of those people in the prayer ladder caused heavenly punishment, it was unknown, and no one was allowed to mention it again, and no one was allowed to discuss it in private. ”

"It was also from that day that those immortal elders began to come to the outer city frequently, eating and taking things and never paying the bill. However, he will always regularly pray for the exorcism of evil spirits for people in the outer city. It's been so many years, and it's never been broken. It is said that only in this way can the bad luck brought about by the heavenly punishment that night be reduced. Therefore, we dare not accept the silver money of the immortal elders. ”

After leaving the stall owner's courtyard, Jiuze was in a heavy mood.

She never thought that the third senior sister was carrying such a broken burden.

"All hopes are pinned on the ethereal 'Immortal Chief', I have been pitted so many times, and I can still be in awe of the 'Immortal Chief', I can't imagine how this Qiyue country brainwashed the people, such a country, there is no meaning to protect it at all. ”

"Brainwashing?" Qi Xiuhan said with a smile, "The word junior sister is an image. ”

Jiu Ze pressed his anger and asked Qi Xiuhan, "Go and take a look at the village he said?"

Qi Xiuhan nodded: "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Qi Xiuhan glanced at the palace from afar, and in the night, the prayer pagoda was still eye-catching.

Sigh secretly. As long as this prayer pagoda exists for one day, the so-called "immortal chief" will not be ethereal in the hearts of the people of Qiyue Kingdom, but a real existence, which can be looked up to, can be relied on, must be feared, and must be obeyed.

The stall owner's former residence is in the southern suburbs, not far from Xicheng, and Jiuze and Qi Xiuhan are only a blink of an eye.

Both of them used talismans to hide their figures, and at this time they stopped in mid-air with their magic weapons, looking at the buildings below, and there was a trace of speechlessness.

With pavilions and pavilions, as well as large plaques and high walls, it covers a wide area and even has an artificial lake for boating.

Everything looks like a panache.

But in the eyes of Jiuze and Qi Xiuhan, it is not close to the word "Xianyuan" at all.

After all, the aesthetics of the whole building are not good, and there is no merit in the slightest. Not to mention that the exterior style of the building is not a little aesthetic, as far as the layout inside is concerned, it is also chaotic and has no feng shui logic.

"It's really not like the handwriting of my peers. Jiuze said.

Qi Xiuhan's eyebrows bent quickly, and he looked at Jiu Zedao, "Together?"

Jiu Ze touched his nose, nodded his chin downward, and said, "It's late, why are these people still together?"

In the largest room below, a group of people in Taoist robes gathered, but there was no aura around them.

Originally, it was just to divert the topic and talk casually, but after the two of them probed their senses, their faces became unsightly.

The group of people in robes had solemn faces: "Your Majesty suddenly issued an edict today to ask me to wait for my life, will I have a quarrel with that person?"

"But that person really has some ability, with our qualifications and abilities, I'm afraid it's ......"

"We are actually the ones that Your Majesty raised to deal with that person, and since Your Majesty wants us to be on standby, then be on standby. ”

"But I'll only ...... Will only ......"

"Can these Majens not know that Your Majesty is so holy and must have a plan. ”

"Yes, I have enjoyed so many years of blessings, and at this moment, I can only rely on the arrangement of the Holy Lord. ”

Jiu Ze and Qi Xiuhan glanced at each other, left a "Thousand Miles Ear" talisman on the roof, and flew towards the palace with the magic weapon.
