Qingcheng, the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, is also the largest city at the foot of Xuantianzong Mountain, every month, Qingcheng will go to the lake to hold a priest. I heard that there seems to be a celestial master living at the bottom of the lake who can protect the safety of their Qingcheng, and bless them with smooth weather and peace in Qingcheng.

Today, according to the custom of every month, Fang Hai, the city lord of Qingcheng, brought the people who came here with him every month to hold sacrifices with him to the lake.

This lake is called Qinghu, Qingcheng Qinghu, and the name is quite matching.

"Right ahead." Gongsun Ling pointed to a city in front of him and continued: "The front is Qingcheng. ”

Su Yiming nodded.

When he came, he had already asked clearly, and asked Gongsun Ling if they had a very tall tower in Qingcheng and a bead that would shine.

Gongsun Ling said that this is indeed the case, and it has been hundreds of years, the shining bead has never been extinguished, at night, I know that standing on a higher place in Qingcheng, you can see the shining bead, just like the moon on August 15.

There is a lake outside Qingcheng, which is Qinghu Lake.

At this time, there were many people gathered around the lake, they were scattered everywhere, and not far away there was a very high altar with fresh fruits on it, and several people dressed in Taoist costumes each carried a black feather rooster in their hands and slit their throats.

"Yikes! It turns out that today is the day of the lake festival. ”

The huge lake is simply not in sight.

Su Yiming speculated that half of this lake was outside the city, and half was connected to the city, so it was indeed a big lake.

The water of the lake is blue, and from a distance, there is a big tree in the center of the lake, with lush branches.

Looking at those who were priests, Su Yiming was puzzled: "What are you doing?" ”

Gongsun Shu sighed and said: "This, it's a priest, listen to my father and they say, there is our Qingcheng protector at the bottom of the lake, and once a month, you can bless our Qingcheng with good weather and good weather." ”

Su Yiming nodded suddenly

"Dad, I'm back!"

Gongsun Shu trotted over and waved at a middle-aged man dressed in brown.

As soon as he saw that his daughter was back, the head of the Gongsun family laughed happily, and came over to look at his baby daughter with a concerned face: "How is it, are you having fun going to your grandmother's house?" By the way, what about the servants who are with you? ”

"Dad, don't say it, those servants you gave me are useless, if I hadn't met this son, I would have been captured by the mountain bandits a long time ago." Gongsun Ling pouted with some complaints.

"Yikes! Something happened! Gongsun Zhong immediately became anxious: "Let my father see if you are injured." ”

Even Su Yiming, an outsider, can feel Gongsun Zhong's love for his daughter, let alone in this era, it is estimated that even indeed, there are not many people who love women so much.

"Thank you, young man." Gongsun Zhong arched his hand to Su Yiming: "Where did the young man come from?" ”

Su Yiming paused, for the time being, he can't say that he came from Xuantian Sect, if there is someone from Wang Bao here, it is not very good, it is best. Nor can it be said that his purpose was to take away the pearl on the tower.

Gongsun Ling has already said that the pearl is a treasure of their Qingcheng, if he says that he is here to get the pearl, it is estimated that he can be driven out directly by these people.

"Up!"

Only a man's voice was heard, resounding through the Heavenly Emperor.

Suddenly, the water of the lake sparkled, and then the water began to circle and form a small whirlpool.

"Don't talk." Gongsun Ling hurriedly admonished: "The voice of the priest must be quieter, if you alarm the gods below, Qingcheng will be big. Cumbersome. ”

Su Yiming nodded, immediately closed his mouth, and followed the hundreds of people around him to watch what was happening on the lake.

There were many onlookers, but most of them came from other places and had never seen anything of the world.

The Qingcheng people have long been accustomed to it, and such priests have been in Qinghu for thousands of times, if not thousands of times, but also thousands of times, and it is a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation. It's a bit like worshipping mountain gods in some places on the earth, although you think that even if you worship, it doesn't work, but it's better to worship than nothing.

Follow the customs, and the rules are the rules.

Su Yiming didn't say a word, looking at the surging lake.

Immediately afterward, eight men with eight black roosters ran to the grass next to the lake, and when they were only a step away from the lake, they took out sharp daggers and slit the throat of the black rooster.

The black ink of the rooster's blood dripped into the clear lake.

"How can these people do this? Don't you think you're polluting the environment? ”

Su Yiming glanced at Gongsun Ling, the others were silent, and those outsiders didn't dare to speak when they saw such a strange scene, and they all kept their mouths shut.

A man in a Taoist robe climbed the platform, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, muttering something with his eyes closed.

God mysterious.

Su Yiming looked around, people who had never seen it were attracted by this scene, and he was the same, but he was not as fascinated by those people, after all, he was a person who had watched TV.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

Thick dark clouds gathered over Qinghu.

The strange sight made the people around him exclaim again and again, and immediately closed their mouths.

The black rooster's blood sank to the bottom of the water little by little, as if it had been absorbed by something.

Su Yiming glanced at Gongsun Ling.

Wait for the storm to clear.

Gongsun Ling said, "Okay, it's over." ”

Quite a few people breathed a sigh of relief.

Gongsun Zhong looked at Su Yiming with a smile: "It's normal for a young man to see such a scene for the first time, we in Qingcheng will come here to worship on the first day of the first month, whether it is snow or rain, not to mention that it is raining, and it is the same when it rains." ”

Su Yiming couldn't help but feel that Qinghu was quite mysterious.

"Alright, let's go back first."

Gongsun Ling snorted and looked at Su Yiming: "Master Su will go back with me, it's just right, and I can also repay you for saving my life." ”

"No need, I'll just go to the city and find a random inn." Su Yiming said with a smile.

"Hey, don't be humble Shaoxia, how can the inn be comfortable for my family, you just agree, my grandson's family has always been gracious, you saved my daughter, if you don't even take you home, what will others say?" Gongsun Zhong smiled, and the approachable came over to grab Su Yiming.

The Gongsun family is the largest family in the whole Qingcheng, and it has also been loved by the people in Qingcheng.

Not to mention, the mansion of the Gongsun family is incomparable to the entire Qingcheng.
