Qiye City, Dongcheng District. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves in the courtyard, which is divided into pieces like chicken feet, and spreads the bluestone on the ground, which adds a dreamlike color to the small courtyard, in which there are four people, three children and an old man, among whom there is a little girl who is only about four years old, and the other two boys are about ten and twelve years old, and they are practicing zama walking.

This is an inconspicuous courtyard in the eastern part of Qiye City, this courtyard is the king of Zhenbei Ye Xiangrong rewarded his personal guard Ye Zhong and his family to live, here is not very far from the official residence of Ye Xiangrong, the king of Zhenbei, and it is only half an hour away on foot.

"Tuck your abdomen and flat your chest, your legs are parallel, your lower plate should be steady, and your head should be up!" An old man who was close to the age of a sixtieth birthday was slowly turning around the courtyard with his hands on his back, and he was holding a bamboo stick in his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa, you see that the water in the bowl on the second brother's head has splashed a little bit, Nan Nan can see it very clearly this time!" The delicate voice giggled, the voice was pleasant and beautiful like the voice of a lark, this was a little girl only four or five years old, with beautiful double buns, and shallow dimples on the pink cheeks.

Ye Xun glared at his sister Ye Nan sitting on the stone bench, but unexpectedly, his sister Ye Nan pursed her mouth and looked proud, and her two little legs kept shaking on the side of the stone bench.

"Second brother, Nan Nan is afraid, hehe, you see that there is still a burning grass fragrance under your buttocks, don't burn your ass into a big hole, and let the lord of the wind chime put dog skin paste on your red buttocks when the time comes, hehe!" The sound of the silver bell came again.

"Smack!" The old man who was close to the sixtieth year unceremoniously hit the calf of the ten-year-old child with a bamboo strip, the force was not big and did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the skin was very stinging, the old man said solemnly: "Zama step is to practice all kinds of boxing techniques, the basic pile skills of knife techniques, and it is also the basis for our Ye family to practice the 'fire knife method', don't underestimate it, look at your brother, the next plate is hard, Xun'er You should take your brother as an example, next month grandpa will pass you the third style of the fire knife method." ”

Ye Xun stared at his sister, although he wanted to slap his sister's ass twice, and even wanted to pinch the pink little face, but he didn't dare to show the slightest in front of his grandfather, if he let his grandfather notice, then it was very likely that he would light another grass incense under his buttocks, for which Ye Xun was also punished several times, so he could only endure it until the moment the grass incense burned and cleaned up this little bit.

Finally survived until noon, the grass fragrance under Ye Xun and his brother Ye Cheng's buttocks had also burned out, and the grandfather had already returned to the hall, Ye Xun looked at his sister who was still pointing fingers on the stone bench with ill will. Seeing this, her sister Ye Nan was very clever, and immediately jumped off the stone bench and ran quickly towards the hall.

"Humph! Run. Ye Xun chased after him, and the brother behind him smiled when he saw this: "Nan Nan, run, or your ass will bloom, haha!" ”

Just as the elder brother was frolicking and chasing in the hall, a middle-aged strong man walked in outside the door, followed by a child, who wore a hat and covered half of her little face, but it could be seen from her clothes that it was a girl.

"Lord of the Wind Chimes? Are you here and have you brought dog skin balm? Hehe! Ye Nan said with a smile as he ran.

Seeing his father with Ye Fengchime, the third daughter of the North King of Qiye Town, Ye Xun and his eldest brother Ye Cheng immediately followed their grandfather to say hello.

"I've seen the Lord of the Wind Chimes!"

"I've seen the Lord of the Wind Chimes!"

The little girl took off her hat, revealing a pink and handsome face, and her appearance was only seven or eight years old, but she showed a beautiful embryo.

"Be quiet, I sneaked out!" The little girl raised her index finger and put it to her mouth to make a silent motion, Ye Nan and the others expressed their understanding when they saw this, but the next moment it was the lord of Laqi Fengling who was playing frantically.

"Sister Ye Nan, well, I haven't forgotten the dog skin paste you brought me last time, oh, this is what my father brought from the Western Regions, and the effect is very good!"

"Ye Nan, I'm going to pick your skin!" I only heard Ye Xun roar.

"Big brother, help, hold the second brother down, and put a plaster on him later, hehe!"

"Don't worry, he can't move, look at my muscles."

"Chicken, wasn't it stewed by my mother yesterday?"

……

Watching the four children giggling and playing, Ye Zhong looked at his father Ye Tian, took out a precious rice paper from his arms, put it on the table and spread out the rice paper, this rice paper is printed with a unique golden copper drum pattern around it, and at a glance, he knows that this is a special logo for Qiye City when posting notices.

"But it's a notice about the Dao Spirit Temple!" Grandpa Ye Tian glanced at the rice paper on the table.

"Yes, starting at the beginning of next month, it will last for five days, and the Qingming Festival has just passed a month, and there is still half a month to go!" Ye Xun's father, Ye Zhong, was silent for a moment and said.

"Alas!" Ye Xun's grandfather Ye Tian sighed lightly, took a stubby pipe from his waist, and slowly filled it with tobacco, Ye Zhong saw this and immediately picked up the fire fold and lit it for his father, Ye Tian inhaled it fiercely, and a thick smoke suddenly erupted from his mouth and nostrils and swirled around the house, Ye Zhong saw his father's somewhat cloudy eyes through the thick smoke, and he was waiting for his father's words to be said.

"Hundreds of years ago, there were indeed monks on our ancestors, which can be described as a heyday, but the ancestors also warned that this is a road of no return, a path of killing that mortals can't imagine, once you step into the cultivation realm, there will be no turning back, you should know this." After a pause, Ye Tian said, "Among my three grandsons, they have passed the preliminary test of the Colorful Soul Stone, and all relatives, friends, fathers and villagers have come to congratulate, this is an honor, but that is only the preliminary test of the Soul Pavilion, not to mention how thorny and dangerous this path of cultivation is, we have almost scattered all our wealth in the Dao Spirit Hall alone, Ye Cheng has passed three times since he was six years old, and Ye Xun has failed to pass twice, which is more difficult than the scientific examination...... Is it worth it? ”

"Father, none of them are more than twelve years old, but I don't want to give up any hope, especially Xun'er, this kid is very screwed, not visible on the surface, his heart is very deep, but his heart is very hot!"

Ye Tian didn't look at his son Ye Zhong, but kept smoking the cigarette holder, but they seemed to be able to see through each other's thoughts.

After half a ring, Ye Zhong said again: "Father, we are not surnamed Ye ......"

"That's it! I still have some belongings here, and you pawned them tomorrow. Ye Tian stood up from the chair and said decisively, shook the ash in the pipe in the ashtray, turned around and walked towards the wing room in the courtyard.

Ye Zhong looked at the still burning tobacco in the ashtray, silent, but the laughter of the children came from his ears, and his eyes slowly showed persistence......

Ye Xun and the county lord of Fengling had a good time, especially Ye Nan's clothes were almost soaked with sweat, and his little face became red due to excitement, and the county lord of Fengling was the same, without the reserve of the county lord of the palace, he came to Ye Nan and a few people to play every once in a while, and the sun was almost going down Ye Zhongcai personally drove the carriage to send her to the palace.

Dao Ling Hall is a sacred symbol of the Tang Empire, even the Bluetooth Empire in the west of the Wolf Smoke Empire in the north exists in the Dao Spirit Temple, especially in larger cities, it is rumored that this is a Xiuzhen sect. Qingling Sect's establishment for recruiting disciples, once the Dao Spirit Bloodline is sensed through the Dao Spirit Hall test, it will be taken back to the sect by the Qingling Sect to receive the messenger for the final test, if selected, it will become a sect disciple, and its family value is also rising, even if it is not selected, when it is repatriated, it still gets some items distributed by the sect, and most of the items obtained are priceless, even if the sea selection is not successful, these children's bodies are more or less washed by the sect to prolong their lives, no matter what the result is, it makes people crazy.

Half a month is not short, because of the long wait for the people who participated in the test, this is both excitement and anticipation, just like Ye Zhong's family, for the sake of his two sons Ye Cheng and Ye Xun, Ye Zhong almost sold his belongings and even borrowed some money from his friends, even so Ye Zhong was still not at ease, and early in the morning he took his two sons to drive the carriage to the Longquan Immortal Temple twenty miles away to burn incense and worship God, in order to ask God to protect him.

Longquan Temple is a well-known immortal temple in Qiye City, located at the foot of Longquan Mountain in the suburbs of Qiye City, although this Longquan Immortal Temple is not big, there are only a few monks dressed as Taoists, but the incense here is prosperous, Qiye City is big to businessmen, Confucianism, dignitaries and nobles, small to Li people, all come here to burn incense and worship God, so that here Yanran has become a place of worship for wealth and disaster, disease and demons.

Sitting in a carriage, even if the sky has just revealed the white of the fish belly, and there are few pedestrians on the official road, it also took Ye Zhong an hour to come to the foot of Longquan Mountain, where there are already crowds of people, all kinds of vehicles and horses parked on the side of the aisle, and even some women and children on the side of the road set up stalls to sell incense paper and some fairy pendants that have been opened.

It's not the first time Ye Xun has come here to pray for the protection of the gods, the first two times his father brought himself and his brother together, both to test the Dao spirit, but as he grew older, Ye Xun was ignorant of this place at first and slowly transitioned to admiration.

Longquan Mountain, look up at the front is a snow-white rock wall towering into the clouds, as if being cut by a knife as smooth and straight, in the center of the smooth wall bubbling spring water erupts from a huge waist thick spring eye, has the tendency of flying straight down 3,000 feet, falls into the pond on the right side of the Longquan Temple below, splashes boundless water splash, brings up the mist and coolness to soak the passers-by, this is the Longquan Mountain Shenxiang Long Turui, bathing in the world, Longquan Temple is named because of this.

Because there are too many people, after half an hour of queuing, Ye Zhong with his two sons finally entered the temple, this temple is not big and Ye Xun's courtyard is about the same, there is a huge incense burner in the courtyard, the incense burner is full of incense, the slightest smoke surrounds it, Ye Xun and the three of them light the incense and burn the incense paper before entering the main house in the temple, there is a kind old Taoist priest meditating on his knees, there is a huge statue of the immortal on the desk behind him, his left hand holds the colorful exquisite tower, and the right hand holds the wat board, Below the statue are rows of fairy pendants, which are said to have been lit up and have a fairy aura that can protect mortals.

"Yunluo Golden Immortal!" Ye Xun looked at the golden banner hanging above the head of the immortal statue, and knelt down with his father and brother to worship the immortal statue, his expression was pious, especially Ye Zhong's mouth was full of words, obviously he was making a wish for his two sons.

"Immortals? Legend has it that immortals can fly away from the sky and move mountains and seas, I heard that the Taoist Spirit Hall said that if you want to become an immortal, you must awaken the Dao Spirit bloodline, only by awakening the bloodline can you become a monk, the monk is to build the immortal fetus with the Dao Spirit bloodline to create immortal bones and feather into an immortal, if there is no Dao Spirit bloodline, there is no immortal fate, I don't know if I can test the Dao Spirit bloodline tomorrow? Ye Xun secretly thought, he dreamed of testing the debut spirit bloodline, but he also knew that there were very few people with such a bloodline, and there were only a dozen or so people in the huge Seven Leaves City who successfully awakened the bloodline every two years, and the awakening bloodline did not necessarily become a monk.

After burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, Ye Xun's family came to the vast courtyard outside the Longquan Temple, quietly watching Longquan Mountain, the trees on the top of the mountain are green and the birds are singing and fragrant, and the two golden eagles are circling around at the eye of Longquan, it is noon, although the blazing sun is scorching the earth, but because the pond blows a burst of coolness, it also removes some heat.

Ye Xun looked at Longquanyan, his mind was full of thoughts, and at this time, a rainbow appeared on the top of Longquan Mountain under the sunshine, which made the people who came to burn incense and worship Buddha on the courtyard dam excited.

"What a good sign, tomorrow my grandson will definitely awaken the Dao Spirit!"

"Hehe, my son will definitely be at the top of high school next year!"

"It seems that the Zhao family's mother will be able to marry home as a concubine next year."

……

The sound of discussion is endless, Ye Xun is also attracted by the charming rainbow, gradually Ye Xun's eyes show obsession, just a few breaths, Ye Xun seems to see the rainbow change, a huge face appeared on the wall of Longquan Mountain, its facial features are clearly recognizable, this face is shocked to the spring as the mouth, with the golden eagle as the eye, the illusion of its face seems to be close at hand, the mouth of the fiery red tongue seems to be swept towards Ye Xun, a creepy meaning makes Ye Xun's back cold sweat soaked through the clothes, instantly woke up, the heart fluttered and beating.

"Ahh Ye Xun exclaimed, although there was a lot of noise at this time, some people still heard Ye Xun's voice.

His father, Ye Zhong, immediately turned his head and saw Ye Xun's face pale, and his eyes showed palpitations after the catastrophe.

"What's going on?"

"Father, I see a grimace! In there. Ye Xunyao pointed to the spring on the stone wall, but at this moment, the illusion was shattered, Longquan Mountain was still green, and the two golden eagles were still circling and flying, so there was no grimace.

Those who heard Ye Xun's words frowned, and some even scolded in a low voice.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, this is the Longquan Immortal Temple, a place where immortals bestow blessings on mortals, the Holy Spirit is inviolable, how can you say that you have a grimace." Ye Cheng, who was on the side, frowned and said, before going out, his grandfather and mother kept telling him not to blaspheme the Holy Spirit in the Immortal Temple, let alone swear words.

"What your brother said is, quickly take back what you just said, and look at you, this kid, how can you say such a thing!" Ye Zhong said solemnly, although Ye Zhong is five big and three thick, and he is bold, but he is like a believer in the Holy Land of Immortal Buddhas, and he is pious in his heart, after all, the Ye family appeared as a monk three hundred years ago, which is a real thing.

Ye Xun looked at his father and brother, his brows furrowed, it was obvious that the two had not seen the illusion just now.

Could it be that I just read it wrong? It seems that you can't be cranky in the future, Ye Xun rubbed his eyes, and the spring water of Longquan Mountain erupted in front of him, and the momentum was still majestic.
