Chapter 206: Wanshou Palace

ps: A chapter at noon, ask for monthly ticket support, thank you. ◎,

"Who?"

Hearing the doorbell, Qi Xiang frowned slightly, and he was also a little confused. At that moment, he turned off the computer before he walked out and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, an unexpected person appeared in front of his eyes.

"Huh?"

At first glance, Qi Xiang was taken aback, and then smiled: "Lychee, why are you here?" ”

Lizhi stood quietly outside, her expression was a little shy, and she said softly and weakly: "I saw you here, so I came over." ”

"Coincidentally, you also stay in this hotel?"

Qi Xiang laughed, he wanted to invite someone to the room to sit and talk, but as soon as his thoughts turned, he walked outside instead, closed the door with his hand, and said gently: "Lychee, it's almost noon." Let's go, let's go down, I ask you...... Continue to drink the soup. ”

"No......" Lychee shook her head and said shyly, "I want to eat meat." ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "No problem." ”

Qi Xiang smiled, but he didn't think that Lychee was a little girl who could be abducted and sold casually. He vaguely felt that Lychee should be here for something.

Speculating in his heart, Qi Xiang was not slow, and took her directly to the restaurant downstairs.

"Come on, come on, this time, you order your own food."

Qi Xiang smiled, handed over the menu, and observed with interest. Sensing his gaze, Lychee lowered her head shyly, and her delicate little hands quickly retracted after ordering on the menu.

"Fish-flavored shredded pork?" Qi Xiang looked at it, and suddenly said: "Understood......"

"Little brother, come here."

Qi Xiang greeted the waiter and asked, "Do you have a master here who knows how to cook Sichuan cuisine?" ”

“…… Yes, there is. ”

The waiter nodded immediately, this is also a five-star hotel, and the chef's skills are definitely not bad. Proficient in the practice of the eight major cuisines, Sichuan cuisine is definitely not a problem.

"Then have a table of his best Sichuan food!" Qi Xiang waved his hand and said: "Be more authentic, there are authentic Sichuan girls here, it's not delicious, I'll pay for the money, but I'll pour the dishes in public." ”

"Understood, understood."

The waiter's eyes were sharpened, and his heart was immediately awe-struck. It is estimated that Qi Xiang is regarded as a rich second generation chasing sisters, if he is not satisfied, this kind of foolish thing. It may not be impossible to do it.

A cup of tea was served to the two, and the waiter hurried down. Go to the kitchen as soon as possible and warn the master to show real skills, and never slack off.

At this time, Qi Xiang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Lychee, yesterday... Upstairs in the soup shop, why did you suddenly disappear, where did you go? ”

Qi Xiang just asked casually. Didn't expect to get a reply.

didn't think about it, Lychee actually said it, her voice was soft and glutinous, slow and reasonable. Very clear: "Someone ran out of the underground manhole cover, and my grandmother asked me to chase it, so I went." ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiang's mind was full of thoughts. Shocked and surprised, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you chasing?" ”

"It looks like stealing." Lychee whispered: "Two people fought underground, and one person ran in the tunnel." Another person climbed out of the manhole cover, grandma and I went to chase the person who climbed out......"

"Did you catch up with him?" Qi Xiang had some surprises.

"No, run away for him." Lychee had a little regret in her eyes, and she was very ashamed: "I was about to catch him, he suddenly squirted a mouthful of blood, and then the speed was several times faster, I couldn't keep up with ......"

"Oh, it's fine." Qi Xiang blinked and was relieved: "The next time I meet him, I will definitely be able to catch him." ”

Lychee nodded slightly, and as soon as her little hand suddenly stretched out, an extra copper coin appeared on the table.

"What is this?" Qi Xiang's gaze turned, and he also froze. Because on his copper coin, he vaguely sensed an unusual obscure atmosphere.

"It fell on that person." Lychee explained: "Grandma said that I can't deal with him alone, and I have to find someone to cooperate, so ...... I'm coming for you. ”

"Cooperation?" Qi Xiang was surprised, thought about it, and said with a smile: "We cooperate...... That's fine. But...... What about your grandma, why don't you see her? ”

Lychee seemed to have received some instructions, and for this question, her lips immediately pursed and she spoke.

Qi Xiang didn't want to ask much, and his attention shifted to the copper coin on the table.

At first glance, copper coins are very clumsy, dark in color, and have a feeling that they have experienced many years of vicissitudes. On the money side, there are some strange line marks, which seem to constitute a text.

But the text is weird and different from the usual fonts. At least Qi Xiang can be sure that the text on the copper coin is not simplified or traditional, let alone seal, but some kind of symbol similar to a symbol.

Qi Xiang observed for a moment, then picked up the copper coin and looked at the other side of the copper coin. This side is bareback, without any words or symbols.

In other words, if you want to explore the origin of copper coins, you can only start from the front.

Qi Xiang pondered for a moment, then shook his head lightly, and said frankly: "Lychee, I am lonely and unheard, and my knowledge is relatively shallow, so I can't recognize what this thing is, do you know?" ”

"I don't understand ...... either" Lychee shook her head and said softly: "But grandma said that this should be a token of a disciple of a secret sect." ”

"Secret sect?" Qi Xiang thoughtfully, pinched the copper coin, and once again focused on it.

Qi Xiang's fingers rubbed the copper coin slightly, and he had a lot of thoughts: "Two people, there was a fight in the tunnel, is this due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, or does someone want to eat black and intercept the road halfway?" ”

"I thought it was a person from the Ten Directions, but it doesn't seem to be ......"

There is not enough information, Qi Xiang has a lot of speculation, feeling that his brain is not enough, he is confused, and his head is big.

At the same time, the waiter brought people up the dishes, and seven or eight dishes were put on the table, all of which were the signature dishes of Sichuan cuisine, and they were also the chef's specialty. Fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, husband and wife lung slices, back to the pot meat......

Plates of delicacies, steaming hot and spicy.

Qi Xiang glanced at it, and what impressed him the most was the green and red chili peppers that almost filled the plate. As soon as the dish was served, a stream of spicy smell reached the end of his nose, fragrant and choking.

The smell made him salivate and worried.

"Two guests, please use ......" The waiter was understanding, took two big-bellied goblets, and poured a glass of boiled water for each of them. And he retreated.

"I look down on people, but I can actually eat spicy ......"

Qi Xiang glanced at it, but saw the boiled water in the cup, rippling slightly, circle after circle, as if rippling and undulating. At this moment, his heart moved, and his fingertips flicked.

"Poof!"

In an instant, the copper coin in his hand rolled in the air. Hook up a perfect parabola, and then silently sink into the cup. When the copper coin enters the water, it stirs up a small splash.

Lychee's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, revealing a bit of curiosity.

At this moment, the boiled water in the cup slowly calmed down, but the copper coins in the water changed slightly. Under the projection of the light, the strange symbols on the surface of the copper coin were twisted in the water to form a seal character.

"Shou ......"

Qi Xiang glanced at it. There was a little joy on his face, but more of it was confused: "What do you mean?" ”

"Wanshou Palace!"

Lychee suddenly exhaled softly, and her clear eyes seemed to have an extra layer of mist, hazy. The voice fluttered: "It must be Wanshou Palace, I didn't expect it...... Under the catastrophe, the Wanshou Palace has not yet been destroyed......"

Qi Xiang felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but call: "Lychee? ”

“…… Huh? ”

Lychee's eyes flickered. The eyes were clear and clear, but there were two points of panic, as if he was hiding something.

Qi Xiang was silent. Only then did Zhan Yan smile and said, "The Wanshou Palace you are talking about is the so-called secret sect?" ”

"This ......" Lychee lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her little hand, and whispered: "Actually, I don't know very well, I have to ask grandma to know." ”

"It's okay, Wanshou Palace...... I think I've heard of it somewhere. Qi Xiang thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll check it." ”

A check and a quick result.

Of course, it's only the result on the surface. Anyway, after reading the information he searched, Qi Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Wanshou Palace seems to be a little ...... It's unfathomable. ”

Wanshou Palace, also known as Jingyang Temple, thousands, spread all over the country in urban and rural areas, itself has the function of a fellow townsman's hall, and is a place to pray to God. In the palace shrine, the god enshrined is the blessed lord Xu Zhenjun.

Xu Zhenjun, who is one of the four famous Taoist Heavenly Masters, is a native of the Jin Dynasty, whose real name is Xu Xun, who was filial piety in the first year of Taikang, and served as the Jingyang Order, known as Xu Jingyang.

Xu Xun has been in Jingyang for ten years, and he has been honest and honest and has outstanding political achievements, but in view of the chaos in the Jin family, he knew that state affairs could not be done, so he returned to the east. In order to commemorate him, the local people have built ancestral halls and sacrificed all year round.

These ancestral halls are the origin of Jingyang Ancestral Hall.

In the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong believed in Taoism and admired the merits of Master Xu, so he changed the Jingyang Temple to Wanshou Palace. Suddenly, Xu Zhenjun's belief became more and more deeply rooted in the people, and the incense continued.

During the Qingming Dynasty, merchants from all over the world went out to do business and had the habit of building guild halls. But the businessmen in Jiangxi are a little special. The guild hall they built was the Wanshou Palace.

It can be said that wherever the footsteps of Jiangxi merchants go, there is the existence of Wanshou Palace.

It was from that time that the Wanshou Palace took root in various places, so that in modern times, there are still traces of the Wanshou Palace in various parts of the country.

"Could it be that this Wanshou Palace is also one of the hidden sects in the cultivation world?" Qi Xiang thought about it seriously, and also felt that this possibility was not ordinary.

After all, throughout the ages, in addition to blood, the inheritance of master and apprentice, with faith as the pivot, it is often the easiest to gather people's hearts. Therefore, some careerists often use religious organizations to coerce the people and raise troops to rebel.

Wanshou Palace doesn't seem to have any bad deeds in this regard, but it doesn't know the heart of the person.

Qi Xiang doesn't mind speculating on anyone with the most sinister intentions, you must know that Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and when Wang Mang is humble and not usurped, there are some things that he doesn't want to do, but he doesn't have a chance to do them.

All right......

This is a bit of a conspiracy theory, Qi Xiang shook his head, and tried his best to analyze this matter with a fair attitude.

If the copper coin is really a token of the Wanshou Palace disciple, then no matter whether that Wanshou Palace disciple is behind the scenes or not, at least it can be determined that he has participated in it, and there is nothing innocent about it...... (To be continued......)
