A few adults grabbed a child and didn't let go, Qiao Ran didn't speak, but the village chief couldn't sit still, so he immediately got up and walked over, grabbed the man led by him and scolded: "It's not a big deal for the little boy to steal two fish to eat, why catch her?" ”

The man who was scolded was stunned, and instinctively opened his mouth to justify: "No, it's not a two-tailed ......"

Pei Qingqing also cried out with a flat mouth: "I didn't steal, this is a ...... bought"

For a while, the child's crying and the man's gossip of defense made people dizzy! The village chief rolled his eyes when he heard this, and after he settled down, he stopped them loudly, and then said loudly: "What's the matter? You speak slowly one by one, and the boy speaks first! ”

"No need, I hear you clearly." The girl who was sitting on the side of the stone mill and drinking water put down the tea bowl in her hand and stood up, and said, "This child in my family said that he bought two fish, but those few said that the fish were gone, and I think what they want to talk about is not about these two fish, I am afraid that all the fish are gone." ”

Several men who couldn't speak clearly nodded their heads again and again, and one of them said excitedly: "As this lord said, the fish in the mountain spring are gone." ”

"How could the fish be gone?" The village chief was puzzled when he heard this, and even glanced at the men with some suspicion, with a look of "don't lie to people".

This suspicious look made the men jump to their feet in a hurry, hurriedly opened their mouths, and said in a wooden voice: "It's just that the fish is gone." ”

There is a Taoist temple at the east end of Shanyuan Village, of course, it is too much to say that it is a Taoist temple, the size is smaller than the houses of many villagers, so small that only one person can live. Earlier, the Taoist temple lived in the mad Taoist man and his master, and after the old Taoist priest died, only the Taoist who was sometimes crazy and sometimes sober was left.

This humanist has no ability, but the fish is well raised, and the fish is raised in the mountain spring next to the Taoist temple, which tastes fat, and has always provoked the diners who will eat in Chang'an. Occasionally, this Taoist who is not afraid of meat and fishy also catches and eats it himself, so except for the name of the Taoist, no one in this village regards him as a Taoist, all as a fish farmer.

These three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, there is no difference between fish farming and farming, and over time, Shanyuan Village has long been accustomed to the existence of this Taoist temple.

After listening to the village chief's ins and outs, Qiao Ran smiled, and she said, "In this way, the fish in the whole mountain spring are gone?" She's such a big child," she said, pointing to Pei Qingqing and said, "Where can you hide the fish?" ”

This makes sense, and when the village chief heard this, he immediately glared at the village men and shouted, "What Lord Qiao said is right, can this half-old child hide the fish?" When the fish is gone, he goes and asks the madman, who does he ask about the fish? ”

One of the men immediately explained when he heard this: "The mad Taoist is also gone," paused, he couldn't help but glance at Pei Qingqing beside Qiao Ran with an aggrieved face again, and said, "First I waited there to repair the ancestral temple, and the crazy Taoist rested on the ridge, and then she came," the man said and pointed to Pei Qingqing, the sturdy man like a cow also had a look of grievance on his face at this time, "The mad man went to the mountain spring with her." During this time, I waited for a few others to be outside digging wood, and so many pairs of eyes watched, and no one but her had ever gone in again. ”

When it came to Shen, they went to get fish at the time they had made with the mad Taoist, and they went to the Taoist temple, and then they saw a mountain spring with no fish left, and an empty Taoist temple.

So this group of men hurriedly ran over, and on the way, they met Pei Qingqing's nail rake that was persistently ploughing, flying to the tall trees at the head of the village, and flying down, causing the children to exclaim again and again, and took out all the sugar pills in their pockets and offered them with both hands. This extremely brave appearance of flying up and down, coupled with the "bad character" of deceiving the child sugar pill, immediately made several men forget that this was also a child, and drove her here.

Then he was stopped and reprimanded by the village chief.

"I bought it myself." Pei Qingqing flattened her mouth, and cried even louder, and after the village chief took out the only little sugar pill left in his pocket, Pei Qingqing stopped crying "pitifully".

Look at her clever look! Qiao Ran pulled Pei Qingqing to his side, and then looked at the villagers and said, "The fish should not have been stolen, but I also think it's strange why the fish suddenly disappeared." ”

She paused as she spoke, and looked at everyone with a smile: "In this case, we might as well go over and take a look, maybe we can find it." ”

Of course, if you can't find the fish, it's good to find the madman. After all, if the person really disappears, the matter will still fall on her head.

Shanyuan Village is also considered rich among the villages around Chang'an, which can also be seen from the avenues built in the village. Qiao Ran thought to herself that she was not a jack of all trades, and it was impossible to know everything clearly, but in Da Chu, the cost of building a road should be expensive.

This point can be known by looking at He Taiping's bite of the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu in order to build the road. As for why he didn't bite Bai Zhijun who took the initiative to come forward, firstly, Bai Zhijun is now in prison and is still locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, and secondly, although Bai Zhijun is now one of the most valued generals in front of His Majesty, and he is also rich, and he is a rich person compared to most people, but that bit of wealth, He Taiping did not even mention a word to let him pay, it can be seen that Bai Zhijun's net worth is not qualified to pay for road construction in He Taiping's opinion. Only the people in the clan who have been in the palace for generations, such as the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu, have won He Taiping's eyes with the money passed down from their ancestors.

Of course, the road built on Chang'an Avenue is incomparable with the road in Shanyuan Village, which is far higher than that of Shanyuan Village in terms of manpower, material resources and requirements.

However, this did not prevent Qiao Randu from thinking about how much the money to build the road would cost.

"How long has this road been built?" On the way there, Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask the village chief beside her.

"It's been more than ten years." The village chief couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "If it wasn't for the old Taoist to pay this money back then, my Shanyuan Village wouldn't have been able to build this road." ”

The villagers in the village do not have to worry about food and clothing, and occasionally they can buy some beautiful clothes and send their children to a private school or something, but the "huge investment" of road construction really makes the villagers pay for it, and I am afraid that they will have to take out half of the family's funds. Which village is not muddy? The villagers who have lived here for generations obviously have no idea of paying for this kind of non-essential object, and even when the old Taoist pays for the construction of the road, most of the villagers are still at a loss.

Of course, there are also advantages, after the stone road is repaired, on rainy and snowy days, the villagers and children will no longer be so easy to slip and fall.

The old Taoist has done good deeds for the village, so the villagers often take care of the crazy Taoist people in their daily lives. This time, the good person disappeared, so he naturally came over in a hurry, but made a joke about pulling out a child.

Qiao Ran echoed twice: "In this way, these two are really good people." ”

"People are good, but poor people often go crazy," the village chief said with emotion, "It's okay when I'm sober, but when I get crazy, people run around, and I don't know what to say in ......my mouth."

It is also for this reason that everyone calls him a madman.

A person who could run around and go crazy from time to time was gone, and the villagers were naturally in a hurry to find someone. At this point, it is not surprising why these men in Shanyuan Village were arrested because of this, even a child like Pei Qingqing.

The planed wood on the ridges in front of them was placed on the side of the road in a mess, and the men from the village hurriedly said, "We used to plane wood here," after saying this, he pointed to the path in front of him and said, "This is the only way to go to the Taoist temple." ”

As soon as these words came out, Pei Qingqing flattened her mouth again: she just bought a fish, and left after buying it, who knows where the crazy man ran away with his fish.

In the past, there was never anything wrong with Zhang Xie to buy fish, let alone when this person went crazy, but this time she came and had an accident, how can there be such a reason? Pei Qingqing was aggrieved.

The hand on his shoulder patted it gently, and Pei Qingqing grabbed the corner of the girl next to her: What are you afraid of, she didn't do anything bad, with Miss Qiao here, she would never be put in prison.

The trail is not long, but after walking a hundred and ten steps, it suddenly opens up in front of you. At the end of the trail is a small mountain spring with narrow water flowing down from the rocks. Qiao Ran compared the width, probably no more than the distance she could have opened her arms to embrace. The mountain spring stands against the mountain, and the surrounding trees are verdant, Qiao Ran looked around, and did not see the mountain road to the mountain.

It's a chain of mountains. While there were many similarities between this plane and the plane she was in, there were more paradoxes, starting with the landforms, some similar, some different. When she was idle, she also thought about this strange paradox, if the same person in different time and space can be famous in the world, maybe it can be attributed to the words "gold will always shine", such as the poet fairy Li Bai, there is also such a person in this time and space. But the plausibility of the topography made her feel more interesting, the same Chang'an City, the same Lishan, but different mountains.

She read from the "Chronicles of Chang'an Land" that this mountain range has an extremely elegant and immortal name, called Nondao Mountain. In the past, Yang Gong, oh, by the way, this Yin Yang Warlock named Yang Yunsong, who was proficient in the art of Kanyu, also had a person with the same name and surname and even the same mastery of the art of Kanyu in her time and space, which was also very interesting.

In short, Yang Gong praised this Dao Mountain as an excellent feng shui treasure, so His Majesty hereby does not allow the people and magnates to go up the mountain indiscriminately to break the feng shui of this Dao Mountain. After all, the imperial tomb has also been moved to the Nondao Mountain, and even the top wealthy and powerful people have to use power and money to obtain a good land of one acre and three points on the treasure land licensed by His Majesty to make an ancestral tomb to protect future generations.

Therefore, this mountain spring is probably the mountain spring water left in a certain place on the mountain, and a small waterwheel was made in the mountain spring to drain the water, and the water in the mountain spring was slowly led to the farmland on the side.

It's good to take what you need. Qiao Ran's gaze fell from the mountains to the Taoist temple on the side, saying that it was a Taoist temple, but in fact, it was a thatched house.

Indeed, as the village chief said, Qiao Ran followed the village chief into the Taoist temple, and saw that only one stone statue was enshrined in the middle of this Taoist temple.

She paused and looked at the statue.

The villager who went into the inner room and searched around, and even turned under the bed also walked out of the inner room, and hurriedly said, "No, I still haven't seen the figure of the madman." ”

Someone said that he couldn't help but exclaim: "Why don't you go to the Dao Mountain!" ”

After all, except for the road leading to the entrance of the village, the only thing that can be walked here is the Lundao Mountain, which His Majesty is not allowed to go to.

"If you go up the mountain at will, you will go to prison, and if you go up the mountain at will, you will have to be beheaded." Some villagers couldn't help muttering, and there was a little more worry in their tones, "I don't know if if you run up like crazy, can the adults open the net and ......" Speaking of this, the villager suddenly slapped his head and hurriedly looked at Qiao Ran.

"My lord, will this crazy person be beaten up when he runs to the mountain?"

"Yes, he is a madman, and he can't break any feng shui alone, can Your Majesty let go of the madman?"

……

Qiao Ran's words made Qiao Ran can't help but curl the corners of her lips, facing these simple villagers, as long as she can, she has always answered questions.

"Don't worry, if he is really crazy and runs up by himself, as long as he doesn't break the feng shui or anything, he will come out in a few days even if he goes to prison, and he won't die for his crimes." The girl paused as she spoke, and then said, "I just looked at it once, and as far as my eyes could see, there were moss all over the place, and there were no footprints or traces of slipping, so I don't think it was very likely that he would go to Dao Mountain." ”

When the villagers heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded: I didn't see anyone on this road, and it was impossible to talk about Dao Mountain, where could this crazy Daoist run with his fish?

Can people still disappear out of thin air?

Confused by the villagers' confusion, Qiao Ran shook his head, but suddenly turned his head and asked the village chief on the side, "This crazy Taoist is a Taoist?" ”

The village chief snorted and said, "Yes, isn't the ancestor of this Taoist family still offering here?" He said, pointing to the stone statue facing the gate.

"Taoist ...... Master Zu? The girl couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and then beckoned to Pei Qingqing, who was squatting by the mountain spring and meditating, and called her over.

Pei Qingqing, who entered the door, didn't know why, but she still walked over.

"Who do you see this statue?" Qiao Ran pointed to the stone statue in the room and asked her.

Q: What does this do? Pei Qingqing looked up blankly, and then was shocked: "Isn't this Zhang Daoling?" ”

The villagers looked at them blankly, looking uncertain.

"If it is an orthodox Taoist priest, on the premise of only offering a stone statue, most of them will respect the ancestral master." Qiao Ran explained.

The village chief listened and explained: "Yes, the old Taoist also said that this is their ancestral master. ”

"But the patriarch of the Taoist family is not him!" Qiao Ran smiled, pointed to the stone statue in the room, and said, "This is the ancestor of those Yin-Yang Warlocks of the Yin-Yang Division. ”

Zhang Daoling was originally a Taoist priest, and there was no problem in the Taoist temple, she could also see Zhang Daoling's stone statue in the Xuanzhen Temple, but no matter how much it has a relationship with Taoism, Zhang Daoling is not the ancestor of Taoist priests.

The villagers were stunned when they heard this: So, this crazy Taoist temple is dedicated to the ancestors of the Yin-Yang Warlocks, and the old Taoists and the crazy Taoists are Yin-Yang Warlocks?

It scares them! The Yin and Yang Warlock who is rumored to call the wind and rain? Where do these two look like yin-yang warlocks?

But now is not the time to solve the puzzles. Qiao Ran paused and asked the villagers, "Is it water-permeable?" ”
