Longhu Mountain, Tianmen Peak.

The smell of oil wax that had lingered on the mountain for a long time finally dissipated, and the golden light that used to fill the mountains and fields finally dimmed, revealing the true color of the mountain rocks.

There were occasional sporadic and faint chanting sounds at the foot of the mountain, and the chimes and conches were weak.

On the path up the mountain, you can often see black paper cranes, clinging to the stone crevices and branches in twos and threes, sometimes fluttering and fluttering paper wings, or jumping around, lazy. It is rare that the black paper crane is like the past, dancing like a black storm day and night, swinging with the terrifying energy of rolling everything.

"Ha~hmm."

A red-clothed mage of the orthographic generation yawned halfway, hurriedly covered his mouth, and saw that the Taoist priests around him were unconscious, he breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his tired and red eyes in private, and picked up the golden mallet on the side. Knock on the chime again.

The mountain spirit at the top of Tianmen Peak has always been peaceful, except for eating the food sent to the door by Longhu Mountain every day, reading a book to relieve boredom, and there is no movement.

However, on Tianmen Peak, hundreds of meritorious mages were in two shifts in the dragon and tiger talisman formation, but they did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Now three months have passed, and under Tianmen Peak, there are thirty-six character guards, one hundred and eight orthographers, and a total of one hundred and forty-four dragon and tiger Taoist priests are guarding the talisman formation in two shifts, but they can't bear such a toss.

The butter treasure candles all over the mountain burned out, the ten miles of purple gold merit clouds were scattered to the point that there was nothing left, and even the Dan paper crane driven by the dragon and tiger qi was almost unable to fly, these are the key treasures for suppressing the heavenly demons, and the magic weapons are still like this, not to mention these fleshy mortals in Longhu Mountain?

But there was one man who was very spirited.

"Oh hey—oh hey, thud—hey."

The immature children's voices spread far and wide, and many Taoist priests heard about it and shook their spirits.

A huge snow-white red-capped crane with a height of more than half a zhang opened its two paws, spread its wings, and screamed at the Taoist priests.

It has a food box around its neck, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy carrying a bookbag.

That Dao Tong hugged the slender neck of the crane with his two arms, and sang about the mountain slipper in his mouth, looking excited. The small body swayed up and down with the running crane, like a weed blown by the wind.

The Taoist priests were shocked, and many Taoist priests on the periphery raised their hands one after another: "Shouyi junior brother (senior uncle), Shouyi junior brother (senior uncle)." Come down! Come down! ”

As soon as he heard this, his body got up, and he rolled down the grass slope more than ten meters high, and hit a tree stump, only to stop in front of many dragon and tiger Taoist priests. The precious purple robe was stained with a lot of grass dust.

The crane followed it down the grassy slope, and the bird, as if spiritual, used its head to push against the ground and flapped its wings to chirp.

Gurg--- Boom-

"Hmm~"

She sat up and rubbed the back of her head, looking fine.

"Senior Brother Shouyi, you're going to frighten us."

A Dragon Tiger Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Yi first flattened his robe. Cai Chong Fu Array many dragon and tiger Taoist Shi Shiran saluted, and said crisply: "Senior brothers and nephews are working hard, I am instructed by the master and his old man to go up the mountain to send fasting food." ”

"Okay, you go."

A Taoist priest with gray temples nodded kindly. ，

Hearing this, he picked up the food box from the neck of the crane, straightened the bookbag on his chest, hummed the mountain tune and walked forward, and the rest of the dragon and tiger Taoist priests also watched him leave.

On Tianmen Peak, there were originally more than 1,000 precious fragrant Nanmu, and the roots and giant trees had to be hugged by three or four people, but in April, there was a Qinghuo Heavenly Demon, and these Nanmu were burned to ashes, and the fragrance lingered in the entire Tianmen Peak for several days, but today, the whole Tianmen Peak is only bare, and it is no longer beautiful.

On the top of the cliff sat a beautiful woman in barefoot green clothes, with several stacks of books in her hand, these books were more annotated by the collection at first, and later, most of them were boudoirs like "Pearl Yuan", or "Dongyang Night Monster Record" This kind of fairy and strange story.

She has a copy of "Zhongshan Poems" on her knees, two slender fingers teasing the neck of the black paper crane next to her, and the snow-white feet are under the glow and clouds, like an ink painting, beautiful.

Yu Yu went up the mountain and hummed in his mouth: "Lalala, lalala, black cat catches heads~"

When the woman heard the singing, she turned her head happily, blinking her watery eyes, and the whole person suddenly became vivid.

She opened the two-tiered food box and served the dishes outside one by one, still steaming.

"Today's lunch is fried noodles, sesame oil mixed with gnocchi silk, monkey head chop cabbage heart, gossip tofu, this is a famous product on the mountain, there is always Wang Hou Guizhou to taste. There is also a pot of purple jade syrup (wine). ”

Danniang thanked her, she took the black jade chopsticks handed over, her eyes flashed and she pulled a few times in a few delicate porcelain plates, and she didn't look very appetizing.

In the end, she only caught a few chopsticks and pimple silk, and then she didn't move.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Danniang was a little embarrassed, but she still said shyly: "Some of today's dishes I can't eat." ”

"What? How? "The second monk is confused." If you still can't get used to eating, then I'll ask the kitchen to change it. ”

"Eggs are added to the fried noodles, and this tofu contains fish, shrimp, snails, and donkey mutton, which I can't eat."

Yu Ying didn't think anything: "Write it down, next time I call the kitchen to do it." ”

"And ......" Danniang raised her head and added: "Your chef especially likes to have a dish of chicken fat before the table, can you tell him not to add more." In addition, I liked the rice candy last time......"

The more Danniang spoke, the quieter her voice became.

Maybe she also felt that her picky eating was too abrupt, and her face was red when she said these words.

"Written down, written down." Yu Xuan suddenly asked, "Mountain spirits and wild gods, don't they all eat meat?" ”

Danniang shook her head when she heard this, she has become familiar with Fei Ying these days, and she didn't talk outside: "I used to eat meat, but I ate less." But ......"

He had a palm in his hand, and there was a black moon ring and a small black ding.

"Since I have been beaten by the Taoism of others, I feel sick and sick to my stomach when I get a little oily, and it has become a different kind of wealth disease. In fact, I have a headache myself, he always thinks that I don't put oil and salt. ”

She looked up: "What?" ”

Danniang blinked and smiled at him: "It's nothing." ”

Fei Ying didn't care, the adults like the master and brother were used to talking to themselves like this, and Wei Ying had long been accustomed to it.

Yu Yu took off the book bag and muttered: "The second half of the "Biography of Liu Yi" you want has been sold in the bookstore, I only collect new stories, you can take a look." ”

"Sold out? Are the two bookstores of Kuaijiege and Dahuang Cave sold out? When will there be a new one? ”

Danniang's disappointment is beyond words.

Yu Yang held up a book above his head, handed it to Danniang, and shouted: "Look at this, look at this, this is also the story of the dragon girl and the scholar falling in love." ”

Danniang took it, she didn't care much, but she saw a small booklet sandwiched between the two books, and the bibliography was "Zha Li Bohai Dou Five Immortals", which immediately attracted her attention.

She opened the contents of the pamphlet and read it attentively.

Sitting on the side, she tilted her head, and happened to see that under the hem of Danniang's skirt, there was a purple-red scripture pressed and a fist-sized square seal.

These two things don't look good, but in fact, they are the second of the treasures of several inheritance mountain gates in Longhu Mountain, the three or five merit seals, and the "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra", the thousand-year-old inheritance of Longhu Mountain, are all related to these treasures.

"Woo~"

He stuck out his tongue and stood up on the rock, and his two fingers reached the cover of the purple scripture pressed under Danniang's thigh.

It may be that she can read and read, Danniang didn't seem to notice Fei Ming's actions, until Wei Ming's hand touched the scriptures, she didn't raise her head and said: "You are naughty casually, and you have to make your brothers and sisters under the mountain work hard." ”

He lowered his head and raised it for a long time: "You are not a bad person, why did you come to the door to rob my family's life-saving treasure?" ”

Danniang's gaze moved from the book to the face of the girl, and said helplessly: "I will explain it in a few months, if the Heavenly Master is willing to let me go, I will present the "Taiping Cave Extreme Sutra" and the Three or Five Merit Seals with both hands, but he doesn't agree, he has to kill me, do I still want to do what he wants?" ”

Yu Ying shouted to his own teacher: "It was you and my new junior sister who cooperated with each other and stole and polluted my treasure, how could it be my master?" ”

Danniang pursed her lips when she heard this: "You can say anything, just don't say that I am in harmony with that person who has no mind, I really can't afford to lose this person." Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that it won't be the ...... if I didn't fall into your Dragon and Tiger Mountain's invitation to enter the urn."

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, her eyes staring at the girl: "Listen to the story?" The name is mindless and unhappy. ”

With a smile on her face, she nodded her head again and again.

He brings water and food to Danniang these days, and his favorite thing to listen to is the story in Danniang's mouth, there is a black cat that catches the head, a villain who fights wits and courage with mice, and the story of seven treasure gourds fighting goblins, he likes them all very much.

Danniang raised the booklet in her hand: "Then next time, bring this book to me, okay?" ”

————————————————

The flat-bottomed boat with dark grass and moss made a trembling sound, the ten-meter-high sail was full, and the black dragon flag fluttered in several places, and the boat slowly left the port.

"This time, in addition to escorting the adults, I also bet on a hundred boxes of mercury, a hundred boxes of pepper, and two hundred boxes of white wax. are wrapped in sacks in ballast, and do not go through the accounts of the government. When you get to Jiangnan, you can earn fifty percent on your backhand. In the past, the rules were clear, and in addition to the adults of the Shandong Maritime Safety Bureau, there was also a pump to calm you. ”

Chen Yuewu retreated left and right, there were only him, Li Yan, and Zha Xiaodao in the room, and he lowered his voice: "It's about fifteen thousand taels." ”

Li Yan frowned: "I don't dare to take this money casually, you said that the rules are clear, I look at the emperor is not clear, the imperial history is not clear, and the Shandong Domain Yamen is not necessarily clear." The Maritime Safety Bureau is under the control of Longhu Mountain, they are full of fat intestines, and when the time comes, will they drag me into the water? ”

Chen Yuewu smiled: "How many years, it's also this rule." If Longhu Mountain does not fall, this rule cannot be broken. ”

"The rise of Dragon Tiger Mountain is only a hundred years old, how do you know that he can't fall?"

Li Yan smiled.

Chen Yuewu sighed, he pondered for a while before he spoke: "These words should not be said by me, but there are no outsiders ...... right now."

He looked at Li Yan with a serious face: "Your Excellency is Li Chengliang and Master Li's lineage, and Lord Li has a great relationship with the cabinet, and several cabinet elders have a bad relationship with the Taiyi Pavilion of Longhu Mountain, so my lord, you have a bad sense of Longhu Mountain, this is normal." But my lord. ”

He furrowed his brows: "Now the root system of Longhu Mountain has completely been completely wrong with my Ming Dynasty." The current stall of the imperial court is absolutely inseparable from Longhu Mountain. My lord, if you don't accept this money, you will also provoke people's jealousy and hatred for nothing, and you can't do it. ”

Li Yan didn't speak immediately when he heard this, and he pondered for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll accept this money." ”

"Yes, with your words, I am relieved."

Chen Yuewu said with a smile

"Don't be busy, this money, you bought all the food for me, go to the famine, I don't care where there is a famine, you give it to you, come back, I want your documents."

"Okay." Chen Yuewu's admiration for Li Yan in his heart was a little more: "There is nothing else, the villain will retire first." ”

"Old man Chen, walk slowly."

After sending Chen Yuewu away, Zha Xiaodao couldn't help but speak: "You are generous enough, this has to be four thousand Yan Fu points, you say send it?" ”

Li Yan stretched out a finger: "If I take this money, I will hand the knife handle to Longhu Mountain, and whenever he wants to stab me, he will stab me." ”

Cha Xiaodao frowned: "No, after all, no one in Longhu Mountain has a grudge against you, how can there be so many twists and turns?" No, the purpose of our visit was revealed. ”

With the last sentence, he lowered his voice.

"Maybe it's not that there's a feud, it's that someone is trying to win me over and force me to get on his boat, it's sugar-coated shells. In short, the money should not be safe. ”

Li Yan's tone was not very sure.

After thinking about it, Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, in short, let's take a step at a time, let's go to Jiangxi this time and think about it, it's not much easier than climbing to the sky." I'm ready for a strong man to break his wrist, it's a big deal, I won't come to this fruit in the future. ”

It is now mid-July, and there is only more than a month left before the final September deadline of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the bad news that the dragon and tiger flags have been lost and snatched from all over the country.

The two capitals and thirteen provinces can protect the dragon and tiger flags in their hands, and they are at ease, and there have been no large casualties so far, only the fourteen flags of Liaodong, Li Yan's amazing performance naturally attracted the attention of many people.

There are the chief officials of the various departments of the court, the dragon and tiger Taoist priests who ride on the horse, and the high merits of the Taiyi Pavilion of the Heavenly Master Dao......

At present, flags from all over the country have fallen into the hands of foreign roads, and snowflakes from all over the country are generally sent to Beijing.

Natural disasters, civil unrest, demons, and all kinds of disasters have a tendency to erupt.

Some people are gearing up, thinking that this is a great opportunity to bring down the Heavenly Master's Dao, and some people swear that they will carry the Dao system of the Heavenly Master's Dao and never let Xiaoxiao mess up the foundation of the ancestor.

At the time of the turmoil, only no one knew what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of the Heavenly Master and the Divine Emperor, the two powerful people who stood at the top of the Dao system and the society respectively......
