Chapter 70: The Sacrifice

Li Qinghe knew that this sentence was true, and the Southern Xinjiang Gu Sect was indeed an expert in using poison.

"Is that what the people who saved me mean that? Go southwest into southern Xinjiang to seek a cure for poison?"

Li Qinghe thought distractedly, whether it was possible or not, this was something that could be done now.

"Brother Zhang?"

"Huh?"

"Are you interested in going to the city to see, the nearest city here has a half-month trip, and now I set off, I should be able to arrive before the first day of winter. ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Zhao is here to travel. ”

"Brother Zhang, isn't it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, telling the truth and falsehood, with different thoughts.

"Why do you have to arrive before winter?"

Zhao Fanfu shook his head, sat on the rattan chair and leaned back: "You don't know, the Gu Sect, as the head snake here, is not just as simple as deterring by force. ”

"Outside, I went to the Buddha and left the pilgrimage to worship the Buddha, but I never saw every household have this kind of thought, most of them encountered something before they remembered to come to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha. ”

"But it's different here, almost ninety percent of the people in southern Xinjiang have a faith. ”

Zhao Fanfu deliberately sold a pass, and Li Qinghe showed an interested look, and then explained:

"Before Southern Xinjiang belonged to the Duan Dynasty, this place had always been under the control of the Gu Sect, both secular and believable. ”

"They don't believe in the Buddha of Taoism, and no one knows how many years the patriarch of the Gu Sect has been inherited, but with this meticulous control, there is only one in the rivers and lakes of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”

"I don't believe you go to the village to take a closer look, the oldest old man in the east is the sacrifice of this stockade, the person of the Gu Sect. ”

Li Qinghe nodded, a little shocked in his heart, isn't this a country of its own?

A Jianghu sect actually has such an influence on a place, he thinks that he underestimated the Gu Sect, and at the same time, the face of the real people of the Purple Palace back then was indeed very big.

But this Zhao Fanfu ...... Half a month has been so thorough? No, maybe he knew it before.

"Here, the Gu Sect has no enemies, except for the Taihe Mountain Cui Immortal, no one dares to say that they can do anything here. ”

"As for why you want to go to the city before winter, it's because the Gu Sect holds sacrifices at this time every year, that's right, they set up a sacrifice to the patriarch and pray for good weather in the coming year. ”

"It's like going out to the Taoist temple to burn incense, but the scene is bigger, but if you miss it, you have to wait for next year. ”

"Besides, if Brother Zhang wants to detoxify, he has to find someone from the Gu Sect. ”

Li Qinghe looked at Zhao Fanfu with a smile, without revealing his inner emotions: Are you hinting that I am in contact with the Gu Sect?

Zhao Fanfu also looked at him with a smile, and the two were speechless for a while, and then Zhao Fanfu shook his head and returned to his room.

The next day

Zhao Fanfu led the horse out of the village, took a deep breath of moist air, and the white mist shrouded in the mountains and forests not far away, and the eyes were green except for white.

If it weren't for the abnormal climate, it would be called a cave blessed land here, well, a state-sized cave blessed land.

"Maybe God did it on purpose, there is a fly in the ointment, and there is a gap in the circle. Behind him, Li Qinghe led the horse and spoke.

"Brother Zhang's words are a bit of a Taoist family, together?"

Li Qinghe nodded, turned over and got on the horse, and the two of them jolted away.

Li Qinghe thought about this matter for a long night, no matter what Zhao Fanfu's purpose was, he couldn't really respond to all changes by not moving, he couldn't help himself, he didn't move, but he was easy to be very passive.

......

......

"The first day of winter is not only the time to worship the ancestors, but also the beginning of the liveliness of the whole southern Xinjiang. ”

"At that time, the Gu Church once again performed a grander ritual to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then after the Shangyuan Festival, the days would return to normal. ”

"If Brother Zhang travels between the two places in the future, he might as well do some business, the customs and rules of this place are clearly known, and the silver can be doubled. ”

The horse's back was bumpy, Zhao Fanfu pointed to the city wall in front of him while talking, while Li Qinghe on the side listened selectively, his face unchanged to distinguish which sentence was true and which sentence was false.

Since ancient times, there have been no soldiers in southern Xinjiang, so the city wall is not tall, and it plays more of a role in enclosure.

There are no guards at the gates of the city, and the festival here has long been accustomed to it, so do they still need to guard it?

Even if there is a need, with a wave of the Gu Sect's hand, the radish sellers on the street can stand up and catch the thief.

After half a month of hurrying, the two finally arrived in the nearest city on the last day of autumn.

Tomorrow night is the so-called sacrifice, the city is naturally lively, the people of southern Xinjiang are straightforward and simple, a little like Yuezhou, but there is no recklessness in Yuezhou.

The two of them paid attention to their entry into the city, but it was nothing new, and Li Qinghe saw a lot of familiar faces and accents.

Zhao Fanfu explained: "Those are all merchants, most of them are churning medicinal herbs and other things, and a small number of them are jade merchants who have been in the hotel for a year. ”

Li Qinghe nodded, and the two found an inn to stay, and to his surprise, the shopkeeper was not a local.

"I'm old, I don't want to toss back and forth, and besides, she doesn't want to go out, so I'll stay. The shopkeeper explained.

The two returned to the room, and Zhao Fanfu walked in.

"What's the matter, the girl here has a different taste, but there is no hook here, and the Gu Sect explicitly prohibits this kind of place. ”

"You seem familiar with this place?"

Zhao Fanfu smiled and poured a cup of tea: "The mouth is a good thing, and you can know a lot if you use it well." ”

"Don't look at the girl here, she has a good personality, but if you do something sorry for her, it will be even more powerful than the man in Yuezhou, by the way, where is Brother Zhang from?"

"Liangzhou. ”

"No wonder, it turned out to be the boundary of Qingcheng Mountain, how about it, does Brother Zhang want to ask a daughter-in-law to go back?"

Li Qinghe took the tea, glanced at him without speaking, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside the window, and was a little distracted for a while.

The next day, still with nothing to do, Li Qinghe read Taoist books in the house for a day.

In the evening, the atmosphere of the whole city changes abruptly, and the streets are lit up with lights, which is even more lively than the New Year, and the girls and boys sing their own songs and writhe in strange dances to celebrate the arrival of the day.

Gradually, Li Qinghe frowned, as if he felt that something was wrong, until Zhao Fanfu's sound of pushing the door came into his ears, and he didn't understand.

The sound of music, shouts, singing, the whole city is immersed in a special rhythm that makes people feel so happy that they can't help but blend in.

"I knew that Brother Zhang was very human, and you also found out?" Zhao Fanfu stood beside him with a smile.

"That's why the Gu Sect can have this kind of influence?"

"No, their great strength is also worthy of this faith. ”

Zhao Fanfu smiled mysteriously: "Brother Zhang knows that Cui Xianchang is the first person in the world, and he is afraid that no one can be defeated in terms of fighting, but he can call the wind and rain This kind of immortal means, it stands to reason that no one can do it if he does not ascend to the gate of heaven." ”

"Calling for wind and rain?" Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, almost not understanding what it meant.

"Well, the wind and the rain. Zhao Fanfu nodded, "The Gu Sect is divided into a sect leader and a high priest, the sect leader is majoring in martial arts, and the sacrifice is in charge...... Call for wind and rain to ensure smooth wind and rain in southern Xinjiang. ”

"This method has always been miraculous in the outside world, but it is incomprehensible. ”

"Why didn't you see the martial arts commentary...... Li Qinghe turned his head and asked.

"Heh, the Gu Sect Sect Master is ranked seventh in the Martial Arts, closely following the head of the Sword Pavilion, but no one knows the strength of its High Priest, and some people in the outside world speculate that maybe the High Priest's strength is not strong at all, but this method is really elusive. ”

Li Qinghe blinked, as if he thought of something, but was interrupted by Zhao Fanfu.

"Don't say anything, look at the time and place, speculate on the wind and rain, there are many capable people in the rivers and lakes, and the court is not willing to lag behind, this kind of trick can be concealed for a while, can it be concealed for a lifetime?"

"Is it really so weird?"

"Brother Zhang will not know if he stays here for a while, when the New Year is over, there will be a ceremony in the main city of Southern Xinjiang, and the high priest of the Gu Sect will personally dedicate himself to preside. ”

Zhao Fanfu sighed: "I have to go and see what the strength of this legendary high priest is, now the three-year period is coming, the martial arts review is going to be updated again, and the rivers and lakes are capable of producing many people, especially Li Qinghe, who is the leader of the new generation with the Taihe Mountain breaking the tide, I think, young people from all walks of life should go down the mountain to fight for a reputation." ”

Saying that, Zhao Fanfu beckoned Li Qinghe to go down to see the excitement, and Li Qinghe followed with some embarrassment.

Boss, what a fart.

"Why doesn't anyone know the strength of the Gu Sect High Priest?"

"Because the high priest does not go out of southern Xinjiang, sometimes before the end of the year, the locals don't even know about the generation. ”
