The master nodded, recalled the dream of last night a little, and then explained it in detail to the lame Taoist from beginning to end. It's a draft, you can see it, and if you change it tomorrow, it won't change too much.

After hearing this, the lame Taoist was stunned for a few seconds, revealing a look of surprise, "There is such a strange thing?" Then he looked my grandfather up and down, and exclaimed: "Brother Liu is really very human, no wonder he can slay the dragon by himself!" ”

When the master heard this, he waved his hand lightly and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of person I am, judging from the handwriting of the construction of the city in my dream, it is not something that ordinary demons can do. ”

When the lame Taoist heard this, he groaned and asked, "Brother Liu is suspicious...... Is this the work of the Immortal Family? ”

The master nodded, "Demons and ghosts, never dare to make such a mistake." ”

The lame Taoist pondered for a moment again, and said: "To say that the temple is very large, thirty miles east from here, in the mountains, there is a temple of the Han Dynasty, which is the place where the Han Gaozu Liu Bang defeated the sword, it is said that the Han Gaozu and Xiang Yu battled, the soldiers were defeated and fled to the bottom of the mountain, asked the sky with a sword, inserted the sword into the stone, did not think, when the sword was drawn, but a clear spring emerged from the stone, so it was called the sword spring, and now there is a sword spring and a sword test stone in front of the temple of the Han Dynasty, although the temple incense is not prosperous, but it is famous in ancient and modern times. ”

When the master heard this, he weighed it in his heart for a moment, and said: "In this way, the city in the dream is also quite royal, and the two may be related. ”

The lame Taoist hurriedly said: "My senior brother has been to the Hanwang Temple a few times and is familiar with the path, so let him accompany you to ......"

When the sun was on the third pole, Xiao Laodao and several people finally woke up, and the others were nothing, Xiao Laodao got up and scolded, scolding the city and those guys who could only hear the sound but couldn't see the figure eighteen times.

During the meal, when I heard that after the master arrived there, he was respectfully carried back, Xiao Laodao was stunned and asked my master, "Those rabbit cubs, why do you call you 'adult'?" ”

The master shook his head, Xiao Laodao snorted his teeth, and said, "It seems that they are just some dog minions, and there should be people above them!" ”

The master said: "After eating, I would like to ask Brother Xiao to accompany me to the Hanwang Temple, the city in our dream may have something to do with the Hanwang Temple." ”

"Hanwang Temple?" Xiao Laodao looked puzzled, "What can it have to do with that broken temple?" ”

The master said: "If it is in the yang world, unless it is approved by the imperial court, ordinary people, building this city, is like a rebellion, the yang world is like this, and the underworld is also like this." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled when he heard this: "According to my brother's meaning, could it be that the King of Han led people to build a city, and he still wants to fight Xiang Yu over there?" ”

The master said helplessly: "Brother Xiao said that he laughed, the King of Han has been 15,600 years ago, and after his death, he will either be a god, an immortal class, or reincarnated, how can he lead the troops to build a city and start a war." ”

"And what are you going to see there?"

Tai Ye said: "To have such a big author, there must be his own dojo in the yang world, and the Tao is high and powerful, the first brother said before, in the vicinity, only the Hanwang Temple has some origins, maybe it is the immortal family that descended on the Hanwang Temple." ”

Xiao Laodao touched the stubble on his chin, "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with us, but now, the disaster comes from the sky behind closed doors, okay, it's okay to go and see." ”

When the girl heard the words on the side, she also wanted to follow, but Xiao Laodao and the grandfather couldn't do anything about her, and there was no danger anyway, so they agreed.

After everyone had breakfast, it was basically almost noon, Xiao Laodao, my grandfather, and the girl who was an entertainer, each rode a horse and rushed towards the Hanwang Temple in the east.

More than 30 miles, it didn't take half an hour to arrive, at this time, what caught the eyes of the master was a broken temple surrounded by mountains, in front of the temple gate as the lame Taoist said, there was a pool of spring water, on the edge of the spring water facing the temple gate, there was a stone three feet high.

Xiao Laodao pointed to the stone and said to my grandfather: "This is the sword drawing stone, there is a long flat groove on it, it seems to be pierced with a sword, it is said that Liu Bang pierced the sword into this stone, and when he pulled out the sword, the spring water came out of the place where the sword was pierced." ”

The master looked at the sword drawing stone, but didn't care, Xiao Laodao continued: "In my opinion, this is just a legend, if the sword can really pierce into the stone, what kind of divine weapon it should be, I have tried it with the short sword on Eleven's body in the past, but it can't be pierced at all, brother, do you want to use your Liangyi Yin Yang Sword to try it too?" ”

The master hurriedly said, "Brother Xiao, let's go into the temple and have a look." ”

When the girl next to her heard this, she pulled out a dagger from her waist, "I'll try it." With that, he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the sword drawing stone.

The master and Xiao Laodao also dismounted, tied the three horses to a tree, and were just about to greet the girl, but the girl had already returned from the stone, with an unhappy face, "I really can't get in, only a few shallow traces are pierced." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled.

Hanwang Temple, there is no courtyard wall, only a main hall, there is a plaque hanging on the door of the hall, it is written "Hanwang Temple" three big characters, on both sides of the temple door, is a couplet, it is said that it is also mentioned by a certain literati.

Walk into the main hall, facing the door of the temple is a statue of a god wearing a robe and hanging a sword at the waist, in front of the statue is an offering platform, with incense burners, candles, incense, etc., the whole looks very old, and the years should not be small.

Xiao Laodao casually picked up the incense on the altar, put three incense sticks on the statue, and then asked my grandfather, "Brother, what do you want to see here?" ”

The master said: "Although this temple is dilapidated, it is also clean, and there is no dust on the platform. ”

Xiao Laodao said: "There is a small door behind this hall, out of the small door is a forest, in the woods, there is an old man, he is here temple Zhu, it is noon, the old man may go back to the forest to cook." ”

A few people turned to the back of the main hall, and on the back wall, there was indeed a small door, which was more than one person high, and when they got out of the small door, there was a forest in front of them, a path about a foot wide and trampled out, leading straight into the depths of the forest.

The three of them walked along the path into the woods, and after walking a short distance in the woods, a small wooden house appeared in front of them, and in front of the wooden house, there was an earthen stove, and at this time, an old man wearing a torn cotton jacket and a cotton hat was cooking in front of the stove.

Xiao Laodao shouted from afar, "Old incense master, haven't eaten yet?" ”

The old man's ears are quite good, he turned his head to look at the voice, he was stunned, and when my grandfather and a few people came closer, the old man looked at Xiao Laodao a few times, "Isn't this Xiao Daochang, what's the matter, have time to come to Dawang Temple to sit?" ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "I just came back from outside, and I came to see you." ”

Then, the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and the grandfather looked at it next to him, Xiao Laodao seemed to be quite familiar with this old man of Miaozhu.

At this time, the old man of the temple wished that he was not cooking, so he hurriedly introduced the grandfather and a few people into the wooden house, and made a pot of wild mountain tea picked in the mountains for the grandfather and a few people with the hot water that had just been boiled in the pot.

Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand into his arms, took out two ingots of silver the size of eggs, and put them on the table, "Old incense master, I came in a hurry today, I didn't bring anything for you, these two ingots of silver, you can accept them and buy some rice and noodles by yourself." ”

The old man of Miaozhu saw it and hurriedly waved his hand, "Daochang Xiao, no need, I haven't used up the silver you left last time." ”

Xiao Laodao said: "Last time was last time, this time is this time, you can accept it, it's not easy to be alone, I asked you to go where I live, you don't want to go, you have to guard this broken temple." ”

The old man smiled in the temple, "It's good to stay in the temple, a few days ago, the king of Han also appeared, and the king of Han said to me, I have meritorious service in guarding the temple, and after I am a hundred years old, I will be crowned an official and knighted." ”

"Really?" The grandfather next to him asked coldly, "What does King Han look like?" ”

The old man was stunned, looked at my grandfather, and asked Xiao Laodao: "......Who is this little brother?" ”

Xiao Laodao hurriedly introduced, "This little brother is amazing, on the side of the Yellow River, there is a famous exorcism master, he is, the son of the exorcism master, single-handedly, he has killed the dragon king in the Yellow River, and the Xiangma Village on the top of the mountain, known as the dragon slayer!" ”

"W-What? Dragon Slayer?! The old man's face suddenly changed, "Really, really found ......" After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the wooden house, no one paid attention to it, sat down on the small horse next to the stove, and lit the fire again.

Seeing this, the master and Xiao Laodao looked at each other, and the master lowered his voice and said, "It seems that we have found the right place, this old man must know something." As he spoke, the master suddenly stood up from the stool and was about to walk out.

Xiao Laodao also hurriedly got up and stopped the master, "Don't mess around, this old man has a very strong temper, let me ask him." ”

The master glanced at Xiao Laodao and sat back on the stool.

Xiao Laodao moved a stool out of the wooden house, and sat next to the old man of Miaozhu, the master saw it clearly in the house, the old man of Miaozhu glanced at Xiao Laodao, and said stubbornly: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything!" ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed, "What do I ask you, I'm here to help you cook." ”

"I don't need you to help me, you can leave quickly, and don't come back in the future."

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he slowly suppressed his smile, "Old incense master, we have also had a friendship for several years, not to mention our friendship, every time I come over, I will give incense to the Han prince and kowtow, there is a way not to look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, you don't have to be so ruthless." ”

The old man of Miaozhu glanced at Xiao Laodao again, and sighed lightly, "You are a good person, but, you can ......" The old man of Miaozhu turned his head and glanced into the room, just met my grandfather's eyes, the old man was excited, hurriedly turned his head back, lowered his voice and said in Xiao Laodao's ear, although the voice was low, he still gave my grandfather a clear sound.

The old man said, "This young man you brought is a scourge, and wherever he goes, he can't be ......peaceful."
