The third year of junior high school, early in the morning.

Zu'er came to the study and called up her uncle, who had tossed alone for half the night before falling asleep.

Chu Tianxiu shrank in the quilt, with a pair of black eyes, and refused to come out with a look of resentment.

The good opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time has been ruined by his son's father, can he not be angry!

"Uncle, let's go~, the county lord took us to the Xuanwu Temple to pray for incense and ask for a sign! Isn't my uncle still going to find Old Immortal Li for alchemy! ”

Zu'er said coquettishly.

That's right!

Chu Tianxiu thought that there was still something important to do to find Li Tiantian, an old god, and finally cheered up, got out of the quilt, changed his clothes, and dressed himself up in a graceful and handsome manner.

He, the handsome little marquis, took Zu'er, Li Yu, Di'er, and a team of guards with knives in the Pingwang Mansion to set off together and go to the Xuanwu Temple to offer incense.

...

The Spring Festival in Jinling City is lively from the incense on the Xuanwu Temple.

It lasted until the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Lantern Festival Qinhuai Lantern Festival reached its peak, which was the largest festival of the Great Chu Dynasty, almost attracting the princes of the world, foreign envoys, merchants, and scholars, to come to Jinling City to participate in this Lantern Festival.

The Xuanwu Temple is on Zhenwu Street, next door to Changle Street.

The temple is dedicated to the Emperor Zhenwu, and it is also the largest temple in Jinling City.

There is a big open garden in front of the temple, the ancient banyan tree shades, the dragon dance gathers, and every big festival is a big lively landscape of Jinling City.

Along the street at the entrance of the temple, there are vendors selling breakfast snacks. All kinds of pancakes and pancakes, the vendors rushed early in the morning, and business was booming.

Every Spring Festival, the Xuanwu Temple is poured from all over the city to incense people, scholars, young ladies, scholars, noblewomen, take all kinds of carriages, sedan chairs, crowded to the water, seeking wealth, seeking fate, seeking children, incense flourishing.

In the morning, the inside and outside of the Xuanwu Temple were already crowded.

Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu avoided the first and second days of junior high school, and deliberately chose the third day of junior high school to incense, but they didn't expect that it was still crowded here.

Zhenwu Palace.

The Emperor Zhenwu was dressed in handsome clothes, stepping on turtles and snakes, and was mighty.

There are many Taoist priests, burning incense, pilgrimage to the gods, chanting, ringing bells and drums, and making Jiao in the hall. Regardless of the officials, eunuchs, and ordinary people, they all need to follow the huge flow of people into the hall and put on a stick of incense.

The incense outside the hall is cheap, and a few copper coins can be used.

There is incense in the inner hall, and a piece of incense costs one or two, and non-rich people are reluctant to give this silver.

In Jinling City, there are not many people who recognize the county lord Li Yu, but there are too many people who recognize the little dusk marquis.

The people and scholars in line hurriedly got out of the way and let this Jinling master go to the front, so as not to block his way and make the little faint marquis angry.

Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu took Zu'er and Di'er into the hall, bowed to the presiding temple, offered twelve taels of silver, each holding three pillars of incense, bowed in the hall, and worshiped the ancestors.

Miao Zhu is in charge of the incense and silver money in the temple, and he is also a person with extremely high eyes, and when he recognized that Xiao Duhou was coming, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly ran to the courtyard of the apse to find Master Li Tiantian.

...

Xuanwu Temple, backyard.

I saw that two old fairies in fluttering clothes were in front of the stone table, leisurely drinking tea and drinking.

As the temple master of Xuanwu Temple, of course, Immortal Li naturally does not need to personally take care of those mundane affairs, and has his own disciples to serve.

Miaozhu looked flustered, and whispered in the ear of Old Immortal Li, "Master, something is wrong!" The little dusk is coming... Master, don't let him tear down the temple! ”

Next to him, there were two young Taoist priests, carefully serving the two old ancestors.

"Panic what!"

Li Nature's complexion changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth, "This big man, forced so tightly... It's only the third day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival hasn't even passed, so I chased it over! Let's not let this road pass this year! ”

Since the day before yesterday, when he came back from the palace banquet and received a damn mission of "refining the elixir of immortality", he couldn't eat and sleep.

In a few years, Empress Dowager Shen will be seventy years old, and this immortal pill will not be refined, and Xiao Duhou will have a lot of backstage, and he will not die if he is too clever to make a fool of himself.

But he has no background as an immortal, maybe the emperor will be angry and behead him for the crime of bullying the king!

Li naturally thought that he only had a few years to live, and his heart was desolate and terrified.

The last person he wants to see is this little dusk who pits him.

"Brother Chunyu, is there a good way to solve the problem?"

Li naturally said bitterly.

He was in the middle of the game, messed up, and couldn't think of a good countermeasure.

"Xiao Duhou, the first big gentleman in Jinling, has a good reputation... I look at his words at the palace banquet, this son is not easy to mess with! Stay away from him, lest you get into trouble. ”

Chun Yuchun sighed.

"But, I've been entangled by him!"

Li is naturally bitter.

He is not wronged, in the past, he had no relationship with the little dusk marquis, so he went to the palace for a big banquet and had a meal, and he was entangled by the little dusk marquis.

Poured blood mold!

"You say, what is the purpose of this little faint marquis to take such a big risk? Immortal Pill, he is young and not eager for this.... I thought about it, he was afraid that he would want to get a large sum of silver, so he pulled you and pit the princes and grandchildren together. ”

Chun Yuchun groaned.

In the past two days, he has been thinking about this matter repeatedly.

Everything has its ins and outs, and the little dusk must have a purpose.

It's just that others may not know what he wants to do.

"He... Just for the sake of silver, he scolded the princes and grandsons, and took out 100,000 taels of silver from their pockets? ”

Li was naturally stunned.

"Or else? He even dared to repay King Ping's silver, what is the silver of the prince and grandson!

I also heard Uncle Shen Guo complain to a group of princes, grandsons, and noblewomen in private, saying that he was also deceived by Xiao Duhou for 100,000 taels of silver and couldn't get it back. A group of noble ladies around were dumbfounded. When I see Xiao Duhou in the future, I must hold my wallet tightly.

This little dusk fell into the eyes of money, and tried his best to get money, but he couldn't do anything. ”

Chun Yuchun shook his head and said.

This kind of little marquis, who is not stingy, is far away from him, so as not to be deceived, what else can he do.

"That's it... Take the money to eliminate the disaster, otherwise this New Year will not pass! ”

...

Zhenwu Palace.

"The wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe!"

Li Yu burned incense and kowtowed.

Di'er and Zu'er read after her.

"Every year...!"

Chu Tianxiu's mouth was also full of words, his eyes drifted around from time to time, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

After offering incense, pray for a safe year, and buy a picture to check the good fortune and culprit of this year.

Subsequently, Li Yu, Di'er and Zu'er went to the temple fair, watched a group of dragon dances in front of the temple, and the lively scene of worshiping ancestors and praying for sweet rain.

Xiao Duhou wanted to talk to Old Immortal Li about refining the Immortal Pill, but they didn't understand, they weren't too interested, so they didn't want to get involved.

Chu Tianxiu slipped to the apse of the Xuanwu Temple.

"Little Dusk!"

Li naturally saw Xiao Duhou appear, and his face suddenly sank, "What kind of wind brought you here!" ”

"I've seen the old fairy Li, and the old doctor is good!"

Chu Tianxiu saluted and said with a smile: "I went back to my mother's house yesterday, and today I finally have a little leisure." However, as the alchemy envoy in front of the emperor, this little marquis always remembers the holy order on his shoulders, so he naturally does not dare to delay for a day.

Just about to come to the temple to offer incense, I came to discuss with the old immortal about refining the 'elixir of immortality'. Is Old Immortal Li free? ”

Li was naturally silent.

You can hide from today, but you can't hide from tomorrow.

He waved his hand and asked Miao Zhu and the two little Taoist priests to step back.

Only Chun Yu Chun was the old miracle doctor, who stayed where he was, drinking the small wine in his gourd.

Li naturally stared at Xiao Duhou, very annoyed.

He's not a liar, he's just a big fool, and it's just a trip to the palace, eating and drinking, and mixing reputation.

There was a lot of silver in the temple, and he didn't lack silver to eat and drink.

What a bullshit elixir of immortality!

Obviously, you are greedy for silver, and you want to use the excuse of refining the elixir to get a large sum of silver, so you drag him into the water!

"Little Marquis, let's not talk darkly! At the palace banquet that day, there were some things that were not easy to explain.

This Dao will directly penetrate the bottom with you today, this elixir of immortality has been refined for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, and no one has ever refined it. ”

Li naturally glanced at Xiao Duhou and said, "Xiao Hou is a smart person, and he knows this truth when he thinks about it."

The little marquis works so hard, and the picture is nothing more than silver. In order to be greedy for this silver, is it worth it to pull the poor into this troubled water?!

100,000 taels of silver, let's divide it into five or five, you and I will each have half each, and we will be happy when we get the silver, and don't bother this way again in the future! ”

was frightened by Xiao Duhou every day, he was afraid that he would not be able to live for a year.
