23 Heavenly Lights

The town has been very calm these days, not like the autumn rain and the cloudy wind a few days ago. As soon as the annual supply is in place, the small streets in the town are becoming more and more lively, although the climate of the town is a little cold, but those women are in full swing to visit the shops, even in the middle of the day, there are many women tossing and turning between the shops, many objects suddenly pour into the town, the price is cheap, this is the best time of the year to stock up, and after a while, the goods are slowly sold out, and the price can go up.

The things in the town really respond to two old sayings, one is that the stagnant water is afraid of scooping, these newly sent objects are not stagnant water, "scooping" a little less, the town is not small, but only such a little goods are sent every year, there is always a time to see the bottom.

Second, when the puffer fish is in full bloom, it is not as expensive as fish and shrimp. This time of year is the cheapest time for goods, after this time, about the beginning of winter, the goods are a price a day, and they are rising slowly.

As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and these women spend money like this, and the demand for each item of goods is calculated one by one, for fear that less is not enough, and more is wasted. Fortunately, the town is accustomed to this kind of cautious hard life, and the living needs of each family are roughly a degree, and most of them know how to spend their tight savings and where to spend them.

However, the lamp shop was still deserted, Li Deng sat behind the counter, looking at the flow of people shuttling through the street outside the shop, and felt a little lonely. After July 14, it is the coldest time of the year in the shop, and many families are very good at living with the lamps and wax that every household has just purchased, so naturally no one patronizes this shop.

Sometimes Li Deng will feel that life in the town is like the oil lamp in the shop that burns day and night, and the day goes by like a quiet oil lamp, the lamp oil is full when it is burned dry, and the people in the town do nothing when they wake up.

This kind of day is not good.

Li Deng's head peeked out slightly from behind the counter, looking outside, on the bluestone pavement, pedestrians shuttling back and forth, the melodious shouts of vendors, and the storyteller on the corner could be faintly heard. But the young man always felt that something was strange, every time he saw those pedestrians, he could always think of the cold face of the old shopkeeper, and Li Deng felt more and more that the town was really lifeless, dull and terrible.

Since there are no guests in the shop these days, Li Deng went to ask the money shop to read books, Grandpa Huang likes to collect some books, just in time for the hoarding season, so Li Deng ran more diligently, and went to ask the money shop to read some newly sent books, Li Deng likes to read those novel collections, especially some novels that are happy and happy, it is really much more interesting than life in this town, and the characters are vivid and vivid, which is the most moving. There are still a lot of awkward anthologies in the newly sent books this year, but Li Deng doesn't like to read those words of Wen Zou Zou very much, most of them are read by Grandpa Huang himself in the sun, and then make a few innocuous comments.

However, Grandpa Huang has talked a lot in the past few days, and he is also absent-minded when he reads books, always talking about things outside the town, like telling a junior who is about to travel far away.

When he said this, the old man still had a faint worried tone.

Li Deng retracted his gaze, his heart was a little uneasy, since he saw the caravan responsible for escorting goods, Li Deng felt that the simple atmosphere in the town was tasteless, and when he looked at the pedestrians on the street, it was similar to the marionettes depicted in the miscellaneous conversations.

Sometimes when he sees the children who follow their parents to the street, holding wooden dolls purchased from the wooden mill, Li Deng will feel that those children are like... The larger puppet holds a small puppet...

And recently the teenager is also a little restless, it's okay during the day, at night, the figure of the woman in those ranger novels always appears in his mind, the original heroic and cool fight, but in the young man's mind, it is a sudden change in the style of painting, one by one scratching his head and making a pose, especially with the scenes described in the ranger novel, such as a gust of wind blowing, the woman's robe is blown by the gang wind to fit the body, the delicate body is as flexible as a slender willow branch, people can't help but have an urge to play.

Some stories can give people infinite reverie, and they can even have no bottom line in their own world, but the boy has always kept his mind in his mind and has not allowed that kind of thoughts to be as wild as a wild horse.

But even if it is deliberately collected, in the dead of night, I still can't help but think about those beautiful things, just like when I left the ancestral house, I secretly chiseled two irrelevant pieces of wood from the beam under the cover of the night, it seems that in the dark night, doing something and thinking about something will make people feel inexplicably "safe".

Li Deng sat behind the counter, his mind wandered far away, but when he thought of this stubble, he hurriedly picked up the golden thread chrysanthemum tea placed on the counter, took a sip, and had to suppress it.

There is an enlightenment admonition book in the market outside, mainly about the ignorance of those teenagers and girls, some of the words in the book are extremely explicit, and even with illustrations to analyze the meaning of the text, but it is a really good book, giving ignorant men and women a lot of enlightenment. The book says that the young man is fifteen, his blood and qi are floating, his yang energy is born, and his nature is beginning to appear. The woman is thirteen, taking off the rabbit and becoming a virgin, flat and hilly, moist and beautiful, and introverted by nature.

If Li Deng had read this book, he would not dare to drink chrysanthemum tea now, and the teenagers in the outside world would have already revealed their nature at the age of fifteen, but Li Deng was three years late.

If it weren't for the fact that he saw the young Taoist, this instinct would probably have been postponed even further. There is a Taoist saying that when the sun first moves, everything is not born. The most simple meaning is that once the yang energy emerges, all things will follow the germination, which is to describe the great world, but it is the same for people, as long as the wisp of yang energy is touched, it will then give birth to majestic vitality, especially at this stage of young boys and girls.

This is also the reason why many old Taoists advocate rejuvenation, putting aside the appearance of immortality, in fact, at most, it is to fit this quite Taoist words, as soon as people are old, the yang energy will flow badly, and the perception of the Taoist will be much slower. And the young man is full of blood and yang, and his comprehension of Taoism will naturally be able to ride the dust.

In fact, there is not no yang energy in the town, to say that the yang energy of the town, there are two places that are even much stronger than the outside world, one is the former general, that is, the man Yin Hong of the current Mufang, the yang energy in his body is particularly pure, but in the town, he does not dare to leak the slightest, one comes to this area dominated by the yin breath is extremely sensitive to yang energy, as long as the man leaks a little yang energy, it is the terrible scene of the bright moon rising in the dark night, and those wandering ghosts may disappear in an instant. The second is that he is afraid of causing a huge impact on Li Deng, under the impact of the man's pure yang body, the trace of yang energy in Li Deng's body that is suppressed by death may be washed away in an instant, and he will really become a living dead.

Why did the man carve a pair of spirit cards for Li Deng's "parents"? And a pair of simple spirit cards were meticulously carved with a full two sticks of incense? The key lies in the man's ability to guide the yang energy in the body when carving the spirit cards, and there is a wisp of yang energy hidden in each pair of spirit cards that is so faint that it is imperceptible. At that time, when the man carved the spirit card for Li Deng's parents, Li Deng's age was just fifteen years old, which was the same age as the teenagers who had just grown yang energy in the outside world, and it was a good age for yang energy to grow, so the man would quietly plant a wisp of pure and imperceptible yang energy in that pair of spirit cards, under the conception of this yang energy, the yang energy in Li Deng's body could slowly germinate and not hurt his fundamental physique, and at the same time, the pure yang energy had an absolute suppression effect, such as in the deep mountains, the white rabbit saw the tiger, and avoided it far away.

It can be said that the man's pen has both the effect of stimulating and suppressing the yang energy in Li Deng's body, coupled with the effect of chrysanthemum tea, Li Deng has not discovered the strangeness of this town until now.

However, since the Taoist entered the town, the yang energy in Li Deng's body has floated, which has led to Li Deng's current sight of those pedestrians on the street like marionettes.

At that time, when the man carved the spirit tablet for Li Deng's parents, why did he think that an ordinary "coin" would be so important, there were two reasons, one was that the man felt that it was a blasphemy against Li Deng's real parents.

The second is that the man knows that the king's gift, the root feather is also a thousand pounds.

He has received countless lu, but the copper coin is the first "reward" of the new king, the new king's head gift, has always had the reputation of a thing to press ten thousand gold, in the outside world of the orderly dynasty, I don't know how many high-ranking officials of the extremely human ministers fought for this, the man felt that he could not afford this honor at all, this honor should belong to the old shopkeeper. It really can't be heavier.

The old shopkeeper has worked hard for this town for hundreds of years, only doing things before his death, not leaving his posthumous name, he doesn't take the new king's head, who dares to take it?

Perhaps this "reward" is the old shopkeeper's expectation of the man, hoping that he will be able to really pick up this reward one day.

Just as the old shopkeeper chose to hand over the future of the town to the old man surnamed Sun, the old shopkeeper handed over the future battlefield authority to him in the form of a "coin".

There is also a source of yang energy in the town, which is the sky lamp. It was a lamp with the power of creation, which once illuminated the vast territory of the empire for thousands of miles, and tempered that extraordinary bloodline. However, after the lamp entered the town, it no longer had the supreme power it used to be, as it changed from burning blood to burning remnants.

So this lamp has now become a soul-burning yin lamp, because the bloodline has been shattered, and the meaning of its existence has also dissipated, this is why the old shopkeeper decided to use the yin soul to ignite it, since it can no longer refine the bloodline, then use it to burn the souls of those thieves!

One day, this lamp will once again bloom in the hands of its bearer, burning the souls of those thieves into nothingness!

Now the yang energy of this lamp is completely different from the yang energy in the body of the man surnamed Yin, this wisp of yang energy can be said to be unique in the world, because it uses yin to generate yang and burn yin soul to promote yang!

In the eyes of Taoism, this is the ultimate Taoism, surrounded by yin and yang, yin and yang, and yang nourishes yin, but it can be placed on this lamp, but it is not the endless power of yin and yang transformation advocated by Taoism, but a very strange swallowing of yin and yang, which is a very single transformation.

The outside Taoist ancestral court knew the existence of this lamp, but he did not dare to think about this lamp, and its existence was undoubtedly an untouchable outlier for Taoists who paid attention to the doctrine of yin and yang.

There is another important reason why this lamp has never been born, because it has burned that bloodline before and spawned supreme combat power. Now the holder of the mottled bloodline is said to rule the territory, but the means of ruling are extremely gentle, which has prompted the prosperity of the hundred schools of thought, if this lamp falls into the hands of the bloodline holder, it is undoubtedly a great blow to the hundred schools, maybe relying on this heavenly lamp, after completely urging the combat power of the bloodline, the entire territory will be a monopoly of the hegemonic pattern, which is naturally not what the hundred schools are willing to see.

The hundred schools can tolerate the domination of this territory, and they can tolerate those dispensable rules, but they absolutely do not want to see a family rise that can crush everyone by itself, which is why the previous dynasty perished.

So even if the royal family is extremely covetous of this lamp, it is helpless.

The royal family didn't dare to take it, and they couldn't take it.

Regarding the ownership of this lamp, because it involves many forces and disputes, the dust has not settled, so it can only be left to be put aside in this isolated world, you can't get it, and others don't want to get it.

However, its existence in the town may cause many unforeseen crises, such as since this lamp can swallow yin and spit out yang, does it have the effect of reviving the dead?

The lights are burning, the bones are dry, and the army is exhausted?!

You must know that in many green mountains in the outside world, the cold bones of the former army are buried.

If this lamp appeared in the world outside the town, would it be a terrifying scene of the mountains shaking and the bones cracking out of the mountains?!

When the mountains are dry, the bones are at war.

Nobody knows.

Li Deng sat behind the counter and became thoughtful again.

As the old saying goes, when you are a teenager, you can best experience the power of full of warmth and lust, and it is really a bone-scraping steel knife that can kill people!

There is a fat powder poem called "Sleep Sleepwalking" in the book of the money shop, saying: Zhen Zhen Gongzi, I like to sleep and sleepwalk last night. Sleep sleepwalking, swim to the tip of the little lady's heart, and the tip of the heart is a piece of finger softness? (Can there be an old driver? to tell everyone the true meaning of this. )

It's really a good poem, it must be a learned scholar who has read thousands of volumes and traveled thousands of miles to experience it in his sleep.

There is a note below this poem: Presumably, the scholar is either a man of temperament or a well-dressed beast. (ps: This poem is original, not emotional, let alone empathetic!The author must not be a well-dressed beast, the author is the one below, and then look down.) )

Every time many wandering families outside read this poem, they can't help but sigh in admiration, they can play with flowers in their dreams, this is not only a well-dressed beast, it is simply a well-dressed beast.

At this time, the old shopkeeper walked out of the backyard, and after seeing Li Deng's thoughts, he coughed dryly, and Li Deng suddenly woke up, his cheeks flushed.

Li Deng was embarrassed and asked, "Grandpa, why did you come out?"

The old shopkeeper said with a straight face: "Delaying you?"

Li Deng didn't know what to do now, so he could only bow his head and whisper, "No." ”

At this time, the old shopkeeper taught: "What is there to be ashamed of? A young man can be romantic, but don't be presumptuous and avoid going too far, which is the most beautiful thing." ”

The old shopkeeper's word "merry" is used just right, and the word "presumptuous" is the finishing touch.

Li Deng nodded.

After the old shopkeeper clicked, he said: "Take a good look at the shop, I'll go out, don't be lazy." ”

Li Deng let out a low sigh.

The old shopkeeper walked out of the shop, and as soon as he walked out of the shop, he suddenly turned around and said: "Drink more chrysanthemum tea, refresh your mind, and fight fatigue......"
