Because of that lantern, my father also saw it back then!

As soon as he said this, the little Taoist priest's body shook and he almost fell off his horse.

Xu Ruoxue said: "There is no mistake in this matter, I did hear my father mention it." It's just that at that time, I didn't know that the lantern was related to the yang ghost, so my father just mentioned it casually, and I just heard it casually, and I didn't pay attention to it. ”

The little Taoist priest hurriedly said, "Ruoxue, you will tell me the details in detail." ”

Xu Ruoxue nodded: "My father said that the moonlight was beautiful that night, and he suddenly remembered my mother, so he ran to the Qingsong Cliff in the mountain behind Qingcheng Mountain, where he drank alone. ”

"When I was half drunk, my father suddenly saw a lamp floating around under the green pine cliff. If you look closely, it is a lantern, a lamp made of lotus flowers. The lotus flower is still very fresh, as if it has just been fished out of the water, and there is still a sense of water all over the body. ”

"My father was a little drunk at the time, and when he saw such a strange sight, he was stunned for a moment, and then he picked a branch and flicked it vigorously. After a soft whistle, the lotus flower was pierced, the candle flame was extinguished, and the lantern floated slowly down the cliff. ”

"It wasn't until the lantern fell that my father realized that it was a strange thing. You must know that the green pine cliff is a cliff, and below it is an abyss. The lantern floated out of thin air, like someone carrying it in the air. My dad was puzzled, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't bother to think about it and went back to sleep. But the next day, the ghost came to the door and haunted my father. My father was so anxious that he naturally left the lantern matter behind. ”

"After the matter of the yang ghost is resolved, my father will think about it again and tell me. He said that he pondered for a long time and thought of a possibility. The lantern should be above his head, and someone tied a silk thread to the lamp, and then carried this thread away. As for why the man did this, there are so many boring people in the world, what does it do? I listened to it and thought it should be the same. Now that I think about it, it's not. ”

"The lantern is carried by the yang ghost, floating in the air. If someone breaks the lantern, the yang ghost will be furious and go on a killing spree! ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. The yang ghost of four years ago, and the yang ghost of now, must be the same ghost! ”

The little Taoist priest sighed.

Four years ago, his Taoist priest went down the mountain because of this yang ghost. Four years later, I had to meet it again. This is really, what a bad fate!

When she was resting, Xu Ruoxue secretly asked: "Husband, the yang ghost that entangled my father, since it is the current yang ghost, what kind of ghost was it that my husband killed back then?" ”

What the heck? It's Liu Qingyan! The little Taoist priest naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, the harmony of the harem is the first!

So he shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

Xu Ruoxue didn't doubt it, frowned and said, "It's strange, that yang ghost didn't hurt people before!" It haunted my dad for days, and it scared people. It wounded and killed the gods and Taoist priests who wanted to capture it. Others didn't move too much, otherwise my Qingcheng Sword Sect would not have suffered heavy casualties? ”

"How did a good ghost become so ferocious now?"

The little Taoist priest sighed: "The world is impermanent! Who knows what happened in those four years? Maybe this yang ghost lost his mind and fell in love with someone, but he was abandoned miserably, so he was angry and crazy. ”

"Hey, there may be a miserable and unfinished relationship hidden here!"

Xu Ruoxue's eyes glared: "Hmph, do you think that all men in the world are just like you, even female ghosts." ”

The little Taoist priest immediately closed his mouth obediently.

The group continued to move forward, speeding up all the way.

Two months later, he finally arrived in Chizhou.

After entering the Chizhou capital, Wang Zhongzhi went straight to the palace.

The little Taoist priest asked, "Lord Zhongguan, why don't you go to Lin'an?" ”

Wang Zhongshou nodded and said, "It's good to teach the little fairy to know that the whereabouts of that yang ghost are uncertain, and no one knows where he will appear in the next moment?" These monks cast their nets everywhere, and there must be a place in the middle to communicate. This place is convenient in Chizhou. ”

After entering the palace, Wang Zhongshou explained his intentions, and the prefect did not dare to be careless, so he personally led the way and brought the group to Tonghui Temple.

Tonghui Temple is a famous big temple in the south of the Yangtze River, the temple has three times, among which there are dozens of pagodas, it is a famous scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

The abbot greeted him and shouted the Buddha trumpet first. Glancing at the little Taoist priest, he said: "The little fairy is here, and this temple is really full of brilliance. ”

The little Taoist priest returned the salute and didn't dare to say anything.

Wang Zhongshou asked, "Can there be a whereabouts of the Yang Ghost now?" ”

This is a casual question. Unexpectedly, the abbot replied, "Yes! ”

"To the west of Shuzhou, about the junction with Chizhou, there is a lake, which is called Gouzi Lake by the locals, and Bangqiu Lake by the literati. There is a different place in this Bangqiu Lake, there are ten miles of lotus. As soon as the lotus blossomed, at a glance, it was full of luxuriance and extremely beautiful. ”

"Three days ago, a grocery store near Bangqiu Lake was inexplicably robbed. The thief was also strange, he didn't steal anything else, but only the candles, and he took them all away. The shopkeeper was a cautious man, and he reported to the official in distress. ”

"The matter of the yang ghost is now in an uproar, and when the local county order heard it, it felt that there was something wrong, and immediately sent someone to check it secretly. Unexpectedly, I found that a lotus lantern quietly appeared in Bangqiu Lake, which was extremely exquisite, and the void was floating. The county commander was shocked and immediately reported it. ”

"Now all the eminent monks are rushing to Bangqiu Lake, and they have been there for a day."

The little Taoist priest asked: "The yang ghost is uncertain, since it is the news three days ago, I am afraid that I don't know where to run now." ”

The abbot shook his head: "I don't know why, the yang ghost stays in Bangqiu Lake now, and appears on time every night." After he appeared, he made lanterns in the lake and did it all night. Now that I think about it, I should still be in Bangqiu Lake. ”

The little Taoist priest said categorically: "Without further ado, there will be changes later." Abbot, send someone to lead me and others at once. ”

Then he arched his hand: "Wang Zhongguan, the poor road has already met with all the senior monks, and the Zhongguan can go back to restore his life." It's been a hard journey. ”

Wang Zhong's attendant raised his eyebrows: "Being able to walk with the little immortal is a blessing from the cultivation of the little three lives." As soon as the little one returned to the palace, he was afraid that he would envy many people. ”

"The little one will return to Lin'an, and I wish the little fairy peace and prosperity, and the horse will be successful!"

Bang Qiu Lake. Doghead village by the lake.

Xu Ruoxue poked the little Taoist priest's waist and said, "Husband, the name of this village is strange, it's called Goutou Village." ”

The monk who led the way pointed his hand and said with a smile: "Do you see that mountain, do you look like a dog's head?" Therefore, this village is called Goutou Village, and the lake is called Gouzi Lake. ”

Kotou Village is just a small village, and it has always been quiet on weekdays. But then the silence was gone.

In the small village, there are monks in and out, and there are many old monks with white beards and white eyebrows.

As a result, among the monks, the little Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was extraordinarily eye-catching.

As a result, the little Taoist priest naturally felt the clear hostility!

This hostility is so obvious!

There was undisguised hatred in those eyes that looked at him. In the corners of the hooked lips, there was a bare contempt. The sneer that sounded from time to time was full of mockery.

Hey, the little Taoist sighed in his heart, he was used to being a "little fairy", and he was really not used to this treatment at first glance.

Xu Ruoxue saw that her husband was despised, snorted angrily, and stretched out her hand to draw her sword. The little priest held her hand and shook his head.

At present, the great enemy should be the same enemy. The enemy has never seen each other, and his own people have fought first, so he can't help but laugh and be generous.

Although he thought so, the little Taoist priest was naturally uncomfortable. Although Buddhism and Taoism are competing, there is no need for this!

It wasn't until he met a few younger monks that the little Taoist priest understood the reason.

"This is the famous little fairy, it's really small, but the little hairy head that has not dried up dares to call himself a fairy? This door is really pitiful, a bunch of old cow noses can't work, so they push out a small cow nose. Daomen has this son, when it is a big deal! This is really reasonable. ”

"This calf's nose isn't good! Oh no, it's a pretty good birth. Maybe it caters to the hobbies of some dignitaries, no wonder, it can make a great name in Lin'an City. ”

"Senior brother is wrong. This calf's nose is very good, you look at the two beauties around him, tsk, amazing! Their Taoism is good at this, they can marry a wife and have children while pursuing the avenue. No wonder so many people are vying to become Taoist priests, not just to covet refinement* and repair the art in the house. ”

Only then did the little Taoist priest understand.

This time, in order to avoid this hot errand, the Sanglu Division and the Daolu Division did not hesitate to say that they were "incompetent" and that the other party was "talented". But in the end, it was the Daolu Division who won.

After this is won, with the old feud between the two divisions, the Daolu Division will inevitably have to ridicule. Didn't the Sanglu Division call himself "incompetent" before? Then you can claim that you monks are really, really incompetent.

The people of the Sanglu Division have lost face and lost their hearts again, so they still hold their breath in their hearts? Not to mention, the people of the Daolu Division have gone too far. The village of Kotou was full of monks, and there was no Taoist priest. Although this matter is indeed in charge of the Sanglu Division, but you Daolu Division does not send anyone, it is true, so ruthless!

Therefore, the monks in this village, whether they are high-ranking monks or young monks who have not attained Taoism, are holding their breath fiercely in their hearts. There is nowhere to vent this breath, as soon as you see the little Taoist, why don't you hurry up and vent your happiness?

This is "the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond", and the little Taoist priest is now the fish in the pond.

After suffering from this unwarranted disaster, no matter how quiet the little Taoist priest was, he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. He was about to ridicule each other, but he heard one of the monks behind him say angrily: "There is a day when the Daomen grows, and it should be prosperous!" This is what the old man said, what, are you not convinced? ”

"Hmph, a few of you, if anyone can fight hundreds of monks in my Daci Temple alone with his own strength, the old man will also send him a word. Wait, do you have the ability to do this? ”

The one who came was, Master True Circle.

When those monks saw Master Zhenyuan, they didn't dare to argue, and they didn't dare to speak.

Master Zhenyuan didn't bother to pay attention to them, clasped his hands together, shouted the Buddha's name, and said: "The little fairy is here, this matter is promising, please!" ”
