Chapter 7: The Taoist Family
Chen Lishan rarely went home once without waiting for the lights in her aunt's room to go out, and the consequence of this was that she suffered a lot of losses from her aunt and her nominal sister after returning home. Fortunately, the eldest aunt and husband supported the eldest aunt, which gave Chen Lishan a chance to leave, and Chen Lishan naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and returned to her not too big room in three steps and two steps.
In the not too big room, Chen Lishan's things can be regarded as occupying this space, her clothes, books, and even some odds and ends are placed in this room, except for the kitchen supplies she usually uses, there is no trace of her existence anywhere else in this room.
At that time, her aunt-in-law helped when she moved, and Chen Lishan's parents left a large amount of property after their deaths, and the legal heir was Chen Lishan, but everything had to wait until Chen Lishan became an adult, which is why Chen Lishan's aunt was very unkind to her.
There is a person with a huge amount of money hanging around you, eating your flowers every day, but not getting any benefits, and no one will give a good face in his turn.
Chen Lishan used to only know that her parents were running around all the year round, and the conditions at home were not bad, living in a two-story small bungalow, living a solid life, but her parents, who had always been healthy, died suddenly for unknown reasons, and even did not die one after the other, and the time of death was surprisingly consistent, which even those well-informed doctors felt particularly surprised. During that period of time, Chen Lishan watched her parents walk out of the body in the hospital, greeted herself with a smile, and let herself listen to her aunt and uncle. This is also the reason why Chen Lishan has always been strong.
Finally returned to her room, Chen Lishan closed the door and locked it, then leaned against the door and took a few deep breaths, the schoolbag was removed by her at will and thrown on the bed, while she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the front of the cabinet and sat cross-legged, licking her somewhat dry lips. Chen Lishan is now caught in a deep curiosity about her family's history, and with Bai Shen's previous words, Chen Lishan has a trace of motivation to find out.
Maybe she hadn't been able to open the cabinet for a long time, but Chen Lishan opened the cabinet door again and was greeted by the accumulated dust, which drifted with the breeze blowing outside the window, making her sneeze a lot.
Covering her nose and squinting her eyes, Chen Lishan carefully looked at the classics stacked in the cabinet, some of the book covers were worn out, while others had accumulated a thick layer of ash, many books were like the ancient classics sewn with white thread, and there were even bamboo slips, which made Chen Lishan even more curious.
From the cabinet to the dusty ancient books and bamboo slips carefully held out, Chen Lishan did not hesitate after looking at it for a while, took out the rag prepared early and wiped the books back and forth, selected the books that were basically slightly impressed, walked to the not too high desk, pulled out the small bench under the desk and sat down, turned on the small lamp on the desk, Chen Lishan rarely did not study, but studied these strange things.
The things told in the classics are a little obscure, but Chen Lishan has good grades after all, and her comprehension ability is naturally excellent, and she actually roughly understands the dictionary of those rare words, and after spending more than an hour to turn the entire classic book thoroughly, Chen Lishan feels that her outlook on life has collapsed a little, she looked at the moon star outside the window and sniffed, she finally understood why Bai Ginseng said such a thing at this moment.
There were a lot of ghost talismans on the book, and it looked a bit like a Taoist talisman. Chen Lishan lay on the table and scratched her head as she looked at the Chen Dao Guide in front of her. The Chen family is a family of Taoist priests, and she, Chen Lishan, is a descendant of Taoist priests.
The records in the book are very detailed, from the rise of Taoist priests for thousands of years to Chen Lishan's parents are still recording the rise and fall of Taoist priests in this classic, from the very beginning of the heyday to the current decline, it is really a pity.
And in this classic, there is a record of an event, that is, New China has just been founded, and a major event that swept the whole of China has quietly occurred, which is a change belonging to the Taoist class, a major event from prosperity to decline.
Bai Ginseng stood in front of the window of the medical hall, looking at the sky in the distance, and his thoughts drifted far away. Those unwanted but unforgettable past events swept towards him like a tide, it was a slaughter, a game between Taoist priests and monsters. And white ginseng, as the only monster left in this world, has undoubtedly experienced more.
The founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 was the beginning of rejuvenation, and one sentence swept the whole of China like a law.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, all things are not allowed to become fine.
It is also because of this sentence that New China, from the heavenly master to the Taoist priest, started a large-scale activity of abnormal slaughter of goblins, and for a time the demon world and the Taoist priest were in turmoil.
White ginseng is a ginseng, which existed between this world and the world thousands of years ago, and the nourishment of thousands of years of time also made him a monster of a thousand-year-old Taoism, independent of time, and profound.
Perhaps it is the relationship of ginseng, white ginseng is superb in medicine from the beginning of its essence, and its profound medical skills can bring people back to life, and it can be regarded as making its own name for a while, and it has the title of white doctor since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
Ginseng essence is different from other monsters, the lethality is not great, and even after the white ginseng becomes essence, he doesn't even have the idea of hurting people, he relies on his medical skills to walk the world and save people.
In 1949, the founding of New China, the decree of the law came, between heaven and earth as if there was a flood bell coming, all the monsters were in danger, and even the Tao line fell a lot, that is, that year, the Taoist industry ushered in their heyday era, monsters can be exchanged for money, the price is not low, and you can even exchange monsters for land to become landlords, the deeper the monster Tao, the more expensive the price.
Taoist priests are divided into many sects, they usually do not interfere with each other, and develop independently, and in this year, many Taoist priests of many sects began to join forces, in order to kill the wandering monsters in this world.
Bai Ginseng met Chen Xu in the spring of 1950, when the Demon War was on the dark side of the development of New China, and everyone was rejoicing at the founding of New China, but they didn't know that it was an extremely dangerous blood exchange war in an environment that they didn't know.
Chen Xu is one of the few heavenly masters in the Chen family, and being a Taoist priest can be regarded as the pinnacle of the heavenly master, and the Chen family is also a famous family in the Taoist world, and since 1949, the demon Deepavali has accumulated a large family business, not to mention the land, even the gold in the family is countless, which also allows the Chen family to enter a new heyday.
As a goblin who has been in the Tao for thousands of years, even if it is suppressed, it is a unique existence, and there is not much malice in itself, and the demonic aura is not too strong, and it is difficult to be found in the crowd.
After all, Chen Xu is a Heavenly Master, and becoming a Heavenly Master shows that he has reached the pinnacle of the Taoist industry, and becoming such a character obviously has some ability to press the bottom of the box, and Chen Xu is like this, he is very sensitive to monsters and ghosts, even if a great demon like Bai Ginseng who has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years tries his best to hide his demonic energy, he can't escape his pursuit. And Chen Xu found the white ginseng on a rainy night, and the location was in a deep mountain not too far from the current Wuyang City.
Walking with Chen Xu is his wife, perhaps because the two have always been together, so Chen Xu's wife is still running and walking all over the mountains even if she has a big belly, and her physique is extraordinary.
In the rainy night, Bai Ginseng was dressed in white, and it rained heavily, but it didn't seem to be on him, even his hair was dry, and on the contrary, Chen Xu and his wife were standing in the woods with an oil-paper umbrella, and the distance between the trees was very small, and the oil-paper umbrella limited a lot of space.
Bai Shen looked at Chen Xu, his outfit was very good, with a dark blue robe, a peachwood seven-star sword on his back, and a talisman bag hanging from his waist, he had the chivalrous spirit of a fairy wind and bones, but this kind of outfit really looked a little different at that time.
Chen Xu looked at the white ginseng, the corners of his mouth were upturned, but he had an expression of finding big meat, he raised his chin, and wiped the things on his forehead that I don't know if it was rain or sweat, chic and happy.
"Ginseng essence, I've been looking for you for a long time, but thanks to your profound Taoism and perennial wandering among the people, it has wiped out a lot of your demonic spirit, which has also allowed you to live to this day. ”
Bai Ginseng stood with his hands in his hands, looked at Chen Xu, who was extremely confident in front of him, and turned around his head with some embarrassment, and said: "In this way, you think that you will win, and I am already a lamb to the slaughter, and if your charm and long sword are shot, I must be the soul of your sword, right?"
Chen Xu nodded confidently, and at the same time put away the oil-paper umbrella he was holding in the empty umbrella barrel behind him, and the next moment he pulled out the peachwood sword next to the umbrella barrel.
Bai Shen looked thoughtfully at the big-bellied pregnant woman beside Chen Xu, but he didn't dare to be careless after waiting for Chen Xu to draw his sword, although he had cultivated for thousands of years, but after all, he was suppressed by that Yu Ling, so that his cultivation could not play to the level of the fifth layer.
Bai Ginseng really didn't have much combat power as a ginseng essence, but he still put on a tough posture in front of Chen Xu, and his hands that were originally behind his back were also hanging down at his sides.
In the heavy rain, Chen Xu holding a sword under the tree, white ginseng hanging down next to the tree, and a pregnant woman with a big belly under the umbrella, the scene was very weird, and the murderous aura that constantly emanated from the sword-holding Chen Xu seemed to make the air freeze. Bai Ginseng frowned slightly, and raised his right hand.
The next moment, the rain condensed, the world seemed to freeze, and the sound of the woods came to an abrupt end. This is the ability of white ginseng, and it is also his technique to test his knife.
Chen Xu, who was originally stagnant, rolled his eyes, and the stagnant rain and the immovable leaves recovered in an instant, and the rain fell head-on, and in an instant, the killing intent in the woods rose again.
