Jinshui Town.

A large mansion is lit up, with six tables of wine inside, and a large family is eating, and outside there are big red lanterns hanging high, illuminating the cold stone road.

On the stone path, a tall figure walked alone, through the thin night fog, from far to near. He walked past the big Zhumen and walked past the lantern hanging, but he didn't even look at it. His eyes are as wide and lofty as the sky, and he disdains to load earthly splendour.

"Amitabha."

Passers-by wear a scar on their heads, proclaim the Buddha's name, and wear a tattered robe. He passed by the husband who was patrolling the night, but the husband turned a blind eye to him. It's not that he's blind or deliberately derelict in his duties, but because he really can't see. It is very easy for a Buddha cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers to do this.

"Amitabha." The great monk recited the Buddha's name again, sent New Year's blessings to the husband, and then walked deeper into the fog. He walked all the way to a corner of Jinshui Town, and came to a small temple before stopping.

"Thanksgiving Temple, it should be here." The great monk looked at the plaque on the temple and read it again.

The small temple is small, but it is not shabby, after all, the south of the Yangtze River is rich, and some good men and women will come to add sesame oil. At this moment, in the dead of night, the great monk stood in front of the small temple, and the monk knocked on the door under the moon.

"Dodo."

The great monk knocked on the door of the temple and waited patiently. The master of this place, who is his senior brother, was originally a stunning figure in the jungle of the Ten Directions, but later he went mad and lost all his skills.

After that, Master Empty Silence gave up his pursuit of martial arts and devoted himself to preaching. In the end, he came to Jiangnan, and with his own strength, he went brick by brick to turn the fate, and built the Thanksgiving Temple in front of him.

"For many years, I have devoted myself to martial arts, and I have never come to visit my senior brother, and I really shouldn't." In the process of waiting, the great monk of Kongyin thought about his and his senior brother's youth, and he had some happy memories and some sentimental helplessness.

Just when the empty seal was thinking bittersweetly, there was a sudden sound behind the temple gate, and a young voice came from the temple gate: "Who, this New Year's temple is not open, if you want to burn incense, please hurry up early tomorrow." ”

Kongyin didn't think there was anything wrong with the voice inside the door, the monk is also a human being, and it is normal to spend the Spring Festival without extravagance and without breaking the vows. After thinking about it, he simply reported to his family and said: "The name of a certain family is Kongyin, and the abbot of your family, Master Kongxi, is a certain senior brother. ”

As soon as the empty seal said this, the door was obviously fluted, and there was no sound for a while. After a long while, the door replied again: "Then uncle, you wait, I'll go inside and ask Master." Then he heard a series of hurried footsteps, and went from the door to the temple.

Kongyin couldn't help but feel a little complacent: "Come to think of it, even if it is the Jiangnan realm, you all know my prestige." ”

In recent years, the empty seal monk has been chivalrous and righteous in the north, and he is quite well-known. Just now he reported his name, and when he noticed that the person who went out was a little nervous, he hurriedly went to report to the master, thinking that it was due to his prestige, so he was inevitably a little fluttering.

And yet in fact—

"What, the empty seal bald donkey of the White Horse Zen Temple?" In the temple, the old monk dressed as the abbot had a strange face, and his eyes were dripping: "Why did this bastard come to Pingjiang Mansion, it's not good, it's not good......"

It turned out that when Master Kongshan chose the site for the temple, he chose one of the several feng shui nodes in Jinshui Town. This time, the demon clan wants to shake the local atmosphere of Jinshui Town, and naturally they will not let go of the Thanksgiving Temple, and they killed the Thanksgiving Temple more than ten days earlier, and a magpie's nest dove was occupied.

This group of damn monsters, with the help of the fox clan, changed their faces one by one and pretended to be monks. During the day, they are also like serious monks, chanting and doing homework, and in the evening they quietly arrange the magic array in the temple, waiting for the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve.

The critical time is coming now, and as a result, there is a dead thief bald in the north who is famous for his martial arts cultivation, how can they not be upset?

"You just go and talk back, just say I'm asleep, let him come back tomorrow." The one pretending to be Master Empty Silence is the person in charge of the operation of the Thanksgiving Temple, a black bear spirit. He was more rude-minded, and he was not very sensitive to crooked things, so he wanted to refuse them altogether. In his opinion, anyway, in more than an hour, everything will be settled.

As a result, before the black bear spirit could finish speaking, he was immediately stopped by a shrewd monster on the side: "Boss Xiong, you can't do this." ”

"Is there something wrong?" The bear spirit still hasn't figured out what he's done wrong.

The more shrewd monster is an embarrassment, that is, the embarrassed spirit who is embarrassed, he saw that the boss asked, and hurriedly replied: "I have heard the name of the monk, it is called the Angry Eyes King Kong, and he was a master of the supernatural realm a few years ago, and it is very difficult to do it." What if we make him wait and wait for a big thing later, what if he hears the wind and stops him? ”

Xiong Jing thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and looked at the embarrassment again: "Then what do you say?" ”

The spirit blinked slyly, and smiled maliciously: "Anyway, the time is coming, why don't we bring in the dead thief, activate the formation in advance, and use the power of the formation to restrain him." Then immediately sent someone to ask Lady Moon Ling, and asked her to put down the matter of the reserves, and immediately came to the result of the thief bald donkey, wouldn't that be a hundred? In the future, when it comes to meritorious deeds, when it comes to you and me's improvisation, it will inevitably be a great achievement! ”

"What a plan! Embarrassed brother. The bear spirit was still holding the monk's skin, patting his thigh proudly, and squeezing his eyebrows and praising the embarrassment. But soon he hesitated again, and said with some uncertainty: "But that thief bald is a master of supernatural powers after all, if he sees through the disguise of you and me, then you and I are not going to die on the spot?" "Xiong Jing is the highest cultivation on the spot, and his skill is only a great achievement of the heart-beating realm, and he is definitely not the opponent of the Empty Seal Monk.

"Hey, what's there to worry about." The embarrassed spirit didn't care about this: "Our disguises are all arranged by Mrs. Yueling herself, she can make a package ticket, saying that if she meets in person, she can't find it herself, so why worry about the monk." ”

"But he's a supernatural ...... after all"

"Lady Moon Spirit is also a master of supernatural powers, isn't it different? Besides, that bald donkey is famous for his ruthlessness, I haven't heard that he can see the sky, what are you afraid of? The spirit was a little anxious: "Originally, it was fine, but it may not be possible for you to delay any longer, if he becomes suspicious because we have delayed too much time, it will be dangerous!" ”

Xiong Jing reasoned according to the embarrassment spirit's thinking, his face darkened, and after a while, he nodded violently and said, "Just do what my brother says!" ”

After the calculation, Xiong Jing instructed Fang Cai's little demon to deceive the empty seal monk. But the embarrassed spirit raised his hand and volunteered: "Boss Xiong, this matter is simply left to me, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Good! Whether there is glory and wealth, it all depends on your performance, brother. Xiong Jing was amazed by the wisdom displayed by the embarrassment spirit, and also thought that sending him to deceive the monk was a good choice.

The spirit smiled, as confident as if she had used Piaorou: "You just put your heart in your stomach, absolutely foolproof." ”

After that, the embarrassment rubbed his face, calmed down, put on a kind appearance, and walked towards the temple gate.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. In the box of Yue Kelai, more than a dozen guests are enjoying a feast.

At the head of the banquet sat a beautiful woman, looking about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a peach blossom. She freshly peeled the soft wattles like jade onions, which seemed to be boneless, pinched the white jade wine cup, and poured herself a drink while laughing.

Below this beautiful woman, there are also handsome men and beautiful women in the seat, one by one, wandering and invisible, staggering, boxing and guessing riddles, and they are very happy.

At this time, a man in white stood up in the middle of the banquet, with a long and jade body, quite a bit of a brilliant posture. He walked a few steps lightly, came to the beautiful woman, and invited with a smile: "Madam, the night is long, why don't you come and play a few hands." ”

The woman who was called Madame smiled even brighter, exhaling like an orchid, and slammed it on the face of the man in white, causing him to blush.

"How many ways do you dare to show off in front of me?" The beautiful woman lightly opened her cherry lips and smiled profusely, her words carried both the expectations of the elders and the younger generations, and the ambiguity of the girl to the man, which was unbearable.

When the man in white heard this, he was happy and ashamed, and complimented: "In front of Madame, where do you dare to show off, it's just that Madame is beautiful, and it really teaches people to be tempted." ”

The woman took a sip and scolded with a smile: "Unproductive boy, I don't want to think about it, we are not in the same generation." ”

"Every time I see my wife, I don't even care about God, where can I still get my seniority." The man in white suddenly had a mist in his eyes, and he was tearful, staring at the beautiful woman, but only caused the woman to giggle a few laughs: "Didn't you learn this routine from respect?" ”

The man in white was stunned when he heard this: "Madam, how do you know?" ”

The woman drank a glass of wine, and with a half-drunken spirit, she laughed out loud, which was even more charming. She stretched out her index finger, scraped the bridge of the man's upturned nose, and teased: "You idiot, this is what I taught you when I courted your aunt!" ”

"Damn, that bastard!" The man in white couldn't pretend anymore, his chic appearance collapsed all at once, stomped his feet, and scolded the one called respect.

During the banquet, everyone had already paid attention to the lady's side, and when they saw the man in white being deflated, they couldn't help but laugh: "Hu Jinggong, your aunt was abducted!" ”

"How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air like this......"

"What kind of innocence, Madame has said it, can there be any fake?"

Hu Jinggong, the man in white, blushed, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, arguing: "Stealing jade and stealing incense can't be considered abduction...... The affairs of the fox clan, can the affairs of the fox clan be regarded as abduction? The succession of difficult words, such as "good gentleman" and "good man", caused everyone to laugh, and the inside and outside of the store were filled with a happy air.

The lady laughed with everyone in the seat for a while, and then instructed: "Nonsense is nonsense, don't drink too much, give me some cleverness." After that, she said thoughtfully: "I don't know what Jing is doing." ”

Hu Jinggong's face looked better, took over the conversation, and scolded: "That kid doesn't know where to be happy, speaking of which...... Madam, you didn't teach him his habit of playing plot acting, did you? ”

"That's because he didn't learn it himself!" Madame blushed, took a sip, resolutely rejected this statement, and firmly drew a line with "respectful hobbies": "My brother died early, and I have been very busy, and I don't have much time to teach him, alas......"

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a noise outside, with horses and dogs barking, chasing and shouting to kill.

"Let's see what's going on." The lady stood up at once, went to the window, and looked out, but saw a man and a woman roaming the streets on horseback, with hundreds of panting officers and soldiers behind them.

Hu Jinggong leaned sideways, looked from the corner between his wife and the window, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”

The lady did not answer his words, but gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Respect is dead!" ”

"What?" Everyone present was shocked.

"Those two people have the blood of respect on them!" Mrs. pointed from afar, referring to Zhou Zheng and Wen Siqi. It turned out that she was the patriarch of the fox clan, Mrs. Yueling, and the fox demon who died in the hands of Zhou Zheng was the "respect" in her mouth, that is, her blood nephew.

Animals are the best at distinguishing tastes, Genghis Khan died of illness on the way to the west, his relatives casually filled in the soil for a mountain, buried him, and trampled flat with ten thousand horses. In order to facilitate the sacrifice in the future, they brought a pair of camel mother and son, killed the baby camel in front of the mother camel, and sprinkled the blood on the mausoleum.

By the time the next spring bloomed, the grass had already erased all traces, and no one could find the coffin of Genghis Khan. Only the she-camel will let out a wail at the place where her young son died tragically. The descendants of the Golden Family, knowing that this was the requiem of their ancestors, set up sacrifices to worship the souls of their great ancestors.

The demon fox clan attaches great importance to the family, and there is a saying that "the fox must be the first to die". Coupled with the fact that the wisdom is far superior to that of camels, it is natural that it will not lag behind in this regard.

"I'm going to kill them!" Lady Moon Spirit's voice was cold and sharp, completely devoid of her previous charming posture.

"Madame, calm down, task priority!" Everyone exclaimed, but Lady Moon Ling ignored them, turned into a white light, and rushed towards Zhou Zheng.

At the same time, in the Thanksgiving Temple, the monk of the empty seal walked to the backyard while chatting with the embarrassed spirit who came.

"Senior brother has made a name for himself in the Northland." The embarrassment complimented.

Empty Seal pretended to be light and light: "Where is it, if Senior Brother Empty Silence hadn't gone mad back then, he would have been a hundred times stronger than me at this time." ”

"Haha, senior brother is humble. The abbot also often mentions you, saying that your talent is the only thing he has seen in his life, and he already knows that you will become a Buddhist honor. ”

"Ah, did Senior Brother Empty Silence really say that?"

"Monks don't speak."

"Oh, Senior Brother Empty Silence is really a false praise, haha......" The Great Monk of Empty Seal laughed twice, his brows were furrowed, his face was angry, and he looked in the direction where Yue Ke came: "It's not good, it's demonic!" It's still a big demon! ”

After that, the empty seal monk didn't care about the embarrassment, the golden true yuan under his feet churned, rose in the sky, and ran towards Zhou Zheng's side.

The spirit was still proud, fantasizing about what reward he could have afterwards, and when he reacted, there was still a trace of the empty seal monk in front of him. When he found out that something was wrong, he was so frightened that he shouted "not good" twice, and quickly shouted: "Something happened to Lady Moon Spirit!" ”

At this moment, the husband struck the gong and announced the time, "The third watch has arrived". The people who are keeping the New Year in Jinshui Town are all praying for the coming year, looking forward to the coming year's good weather and the bumper harvest of the coming year—at such an hour when the old year is about to pass and the new year is coming.

"Fireworks!" As soon as Han Da gave the order, the bold family members stepped forward, took a fiery red incense stick emitting smoke, and lit the gunpowder twist of the fireworks.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Whether it was the Han family or the Li family, the wealthy area of Jinshui Town lit fireworks almost at the same time. Although it was only a short moment, the bright moon and stars were suppressed, illuminating the entire night sky. At the same time, what illuminated was the hatred on Mrs. Yueling's face, the surprise on Zhou Zheng's face, the hesitation on Wen Siqi's face, and the solemnity on the face of the empty seal monk.

Of course, the light is equal, and the fireworks also illuminate the little character of the embarrassed spirit, who is rolling and crawling, shouting: "Something's wrong!" Something's wrong! ”
