Chapter 67 Millennium Huangyao Town
I thought about it for a moment and said, "If you think about it carefully, in fact, everything is quiet to enjoy, and moving to promote. ”
When Fu Fengzi and Bai Xuemei heard me say this, they thought about it separately. After a while, Bai Xuemei said: "People live in the world, and things stand in the middle. Everything itself is more dynamic than static, but the individual is still quiet. Individuals seek stability in their lives, countries seek peace and development, and even our practice methods are all in motion. ”
Fu Fengzi stroked his beard again, and then said: "Animals will grow, grow old, sick and die, and vegetation will grow and wither. If there is no movement, there is no life, and there is no stillness, and vice versa. It seems that my more than 30 years of retreat have been long enough... As he spoke, he slowly stood up and looked out of the house through the window lattice, as if he had figured something out.
I looked at his back, and then said, "Do you know the specific situation of the world now?" "I would like to remind him that there are very few places in the world that are so suitable for seclusion.
"Hahahaha, I don't know much. But it seems that a lot has changed a few decades ago? ”
"That's right! Not only...."
"Daoist friends don't need to say it, after waiting for this fate, I should experience it myself." Fufengzi turned around and interrupted me, and I smiled and nodded.
The three of them talked for a long time, and they all got something. Just as it was almost dusk, Fu Fengzi's face changed slightly, revealing a sad expression, but he didn't say anything. Bai Xuemei and I also noticed this, and each understood what was going on in their hearts.
Sure enough, his sad expression was only instantaneous, and after he returned to normal, he said, "White Fairy, Nansheng Daoyou." Sitting down with the two of you today, Fufengzi benefited a lot. Seeing that the golden crow is about to fall, the time is not early, and we have waited for the fate to be completed so far. The two murderers have been punished, and the matter should be closed, so please come with me! ”
Although Fu Fengzi had no sad expression on his face, there was a little bit of expression in his words, of course, this feeling may also be that he was in it. The three of them walked out of the gate together, and Bai Xuemei said: "Fufeng Daoyou, I am a disciple of Shuchuan Qingxi Valley, if Daoyou has leisure in the future, you can go to the valley as a guest." ”
"Good! The white fairy was invited, and Fufengzi would definitely go to visit him one day. He stood still on the edge of the cliff and turned back.
Master and I don't have any sect dojos, so after thinking about it, I took out the phone book on my body, wrote my mobile phone number on it, and then handed it to Fufengzi and said, "Fellow Daoist Fufeng, I am generally a casual cultivator with you, and this is my contact information." Seeing that he looked puzzled, he explained: "Daoist friends will understand after they go down the mountain." ”
Fu Fengzi smiled slightly, took it and put it in his arms, then turned his head to face the mountain stream, and cast a spell with both hands. I saw that in the white mist of the mountain stream, two figures flew out and landed on the ground opposite, apparently asleep.
When he finished doing this, he turned his head and said, "The person has been released, and the two Taoist friends can find a trail under the cliff on the east side of the opposite side and leave, and I will meet you later." As he spoke, he turned into a white mist and disappeared in the white mist of the mountain stream. Looking back, I saw that the door was closed with the wind, standing alone in place.
Bai Xuemei and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. "Let's go." I said lightly, stepped into the void, and walked to the opposite side, Bai Xuemei followed behind.
When I came to the two people, I saw that they were all dirty, and there were bruises and scars on their faces, and the two should have clashed. "How are you going to get them down?" Bai Xuemei asked with a slight frown.
I turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard of sleepwalking?" As he spoke, he extended his aura to the two Heavenly Spirits, and used the Dream Alchemy Illusion to control their Yin Consciousness Realm.
I saw the two of them slowly stand up, although their eyes were still closed. Bai Xuemei smiled, understood what I meant, and then the four of them walked towards the cliff on the east side. Walk along the edge of the South Bamboo Forest for about 500 meters, come to the edge of the stone cliff, and sure enough, I saw a stone path five meters below.
The sunset on Shengtang Mountain is unusually beautiful, and the mountains are all covered with a layer of red under the light of the afterglow, which looks sacred and solemn. A group of four people shuttled through the forest valley and let the mountain wind blow.
Bai Xuemei and I have been gone for about forty hours. At about nine o'clock in the evening, I finally took them back to the bottom of the mountain. As soon as he knocked on the door, the spell was removed, and the people inside saw them enter the house first, and then there was a disorder, some crying loudly, some shouting others.
As soon as the two of them woke up, they saw their families, and they were naturally happy and excited. However, due to being tossed for several days, the body has long been prostrated and weakened. Before he could say a word, his body's nerves reacted, and then he was unsteady on his feet, and he was about to go soft to the ground. Fortunately, there was someone next to him with sharp eyes, so he quickly stepped forward to help them sit down.
Bai Xuemei and I also walked into the house, but no one paid attention. Of course, we didn't care, and went back to the room that had been arranged for us. There are more people downstairs now than when we went up the mountain, and it should be another person's family who has also arrived.
That night, I retraced my experience in the realm of yin consciousness and practiced comprehension. When I woke up the next morning, I found that the gang had already gone. Maybe it was before dawn that the two of them were sent to the hospital.
Not long after, the liaison officer of the Ninth Department also took the initiative to call and expressed the gratitude of the leader, saying that this month, Bai Xuemei and I would be given bonuses. Bai Xuemei and herself didn't care, so they cleaned up their mood and drove back to the Nanning garrison again.
In the next half month, the two resumed their daily routine from the previous year, practicing and solving the tasks assigned by the above. With the improvement of cultivation ability, some tasks have been grasped for me.
On March 17, Bai Xuemei and I received two tasks at the same time, and they were not in the same direction. That morning, Jiubu had already arranged her travel plan, and Bai Xuemei only needed to go to Nanning Railway Station to take a car.
Of course, I chose to drive there, after all, it is more convenient to have a car. Bai Xuemei's driver's license has been obtained, but because she has no car for the time being, she still takes public transportation.
This time, my destination is in the town of Huangyao, about 40 kilometers west of Hezhou. And this mission is also a bit special, Captain Xiang personally explained this past on the phone, just to inquire about the news, asking me to pay attention to the movements and purposes of the monks in the town, and contact him in time after discovering something.
The journey was not close, and I rested in Liuzhou City for one night, and the next day at dawn, I continued to hurry, and finally arrived at my destination at noon.
Huangyao Town is not all modern towns, but has ancient towns that have been handed down since the Song Dynasty. Because the town is located between the mountains, a large number of ancient buildings have survived to this day. When I came to the outskirts of the ancient town, I parked the car on the side of the road and walked to the ancient town.
Walking into the ancient town, I saw that the Ming and Qing Dynasty style buildings abound, all of which were based on stones and built of blue bricks. The exterior walls of the house, once painted with white lime, are now slightly mottled, and the green bricks are completely exposed by dampness and human factors, about half a meter above the ground.
I looked around as I walked, passed by the Huang ancestral hall, and continued inward. The ground of the ancient town is paved with rectangular stone slabs, and in some places it is made of irregular stones, but they are all smooth and unusually smooth due to pedestrians' trampling. There are all kinds of small shops open along the street, and the smell wafts into the air from time to time.
It has also been inhabited by modern celebrities, such as He Xiangning, Ouyang Yuqian, Qian Jiaju, Zhang Xichang and a large number of celebrities. Turn right along the street at the fork in the road, not far from Ouyang Yuqian's former residence, now it is a person to go to the empty house, lock the door, perhaps in order to attract visitors, there is a wooden sign on the door to introduce.
Continuing to walk, seeing that he was about to leave the ancient town, he turned left and walked in. There are many children playing in the alley, and there are pedestrians leading cattle and horses passing by. Soon after, there was a Guo ancestral hall, and there were two small lakes on the left.
When he came to this house, he became less frequent, so he turned back and walked along the little lake. Soon I saw the Wu ancestral hall, standing directly opposite. Walking alone in the ancient town, slowly moving forward, I also saw the local legend of the fairy well.
I was looking at the Xingning Temple in front of me in a daze, and suddenly I heard a female voice say, "Little brother, can you take a picture for me?" ”
I turned my head to see a girl with a ponytail, a beautiful sweet potato seed face, wearing a full set of light blue denim clothes, the denim jacket was unbuttoned, and the inside was a white T-shirt with English characters, she was looking at herself curiously, and when she saw me turn her head, she said what she just said.
"I probably didn't shoot very well." I said, taking the camera she handed me.
"It's okay, just shoot it." She said with a smile, and then stood in front of the Xingning Temple.
I picked up the camera and looked at the button position, then looked out of the viewfinder, half-crouched to find a good angle, and pressed the shutter. "Take a few more shots." She said happily, changing her standing posture and position again.
After taking five photos in a row before stopping, she walked over and took the camera and said, "Thank you so much, my name is Mo Pingping." ”
"No thanks, my name is Feng Yiyun."
"Wow, that's an interesting name."
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment."
"Are you going to the East Gate Tower?"
"Where's the East Gatehouse?" I asked, confused.
"It's over there." She pointed in a direction.
"I haven't been there yet."
"Then let's go together, I'll show you the way." Mo Pingping said.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"My hometown is here, of course I'm familiar with it." She walked in front of her, occasionally holding up her camera to take a few pictures.
The two chatted as they walked. After getting acquainted, I asked her to take a few more photos. We walked north along the road, passing by Yong'an Gate, Longmen Banyan and Ancient Stage. Then turn around and cross the stone jump bridge to turn south.
For half a day in the afternoon, I just followed her around. She also told me about some legends in Huangyao Ancient Town, like a little tour guide. In the afternoon, I finally got tired of walking and sat down to rest in front of a stall selling bean curd.
"What do you do?" Mo Pingping asked me curiously.
"Me! It's not working yet. ”
At this time, a man said behind me, "Pingping, why are you here?" I've been looking for you for a long time. ”
Mo Pingping looked up when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Ah! Dad, what are you looking for me? ”
"Your uncle is here, come home with me." He looked at me as he spoke.
I looked at him at the same time, and saw that he had a long face, glasses, a gray suit, and a watch on his hand. He was a few points taller than me, and he didn't smile.
"Okay! Feng Yiyun, do you want to go to my house to play? She stood up and said.
Her dad glared at her, and I smiled wryly and said, "Thank you, I have other things to do, so I won't bother." ”
"Oh! Then I..."
"Not leaving?" Her father had already taken a step forward, and then turned his head to ask.
Mo Pingping said impatiently: "It's here!" ”
I didn't look at her, but I felt in my consciousness that she was looking at me, Mo Pingping was stunned for a moment and then turned to leave. It was almost dusk, and then I left the scene and went to the farmhouse hotel directly opposite.
Why do you want to follow this little girl? For the first time she called me, I could see that she was white, and though it was extremely weak, it caught my attention. Later, in her father's body, she was also found to have white gas, and her cultivation was not low.
After separating from Mo Pingping, he received a call from Captain Xiang, who said that he had received information that a person who knew something inside had also come to Huangyao Town. I can use the identity of the nine departments to find out the inside story from him. In the end, he gave himself the man's mobile phone number.
After walking around the ancient town for a day during the day, except for the Mo family's father and daughter, I didn't see any other monks appear, and I didn't feel anything wrong. However, if you want to find something, you will need to investigate it in detail before you can be sure.
took out his mobile phone and dialed the number given by Captain Xiang to see if he could find the person to ask for more information. After the phone was connected, I identified myself as a member of the Ninth Division, and he was unexpectedly easy to talk to, and said that he had arrived in the ancient town and stayed in a hotel.
This person's name is Huang Jingzhong, and it seems that he has crossed paths with Jiubu. Now that it was almost dinner time, I invited him to eat with him. Huang Jingzhong didn't refuse, and agreed to come down. After booking a meeting hotel, I hung up the phone and walked to it.
It didn't take long for me to go to the Yiyi Hotel first, ask the front desk to make sure that Huang Jingzhong hadn't come yet, just waited for him in the box, ordered three dishes first, and contacted him again. It didn't take long for Huang Jingzhong to come.
I saw that he was not tall and a little fat. However, although his eyes are small, he is smooth and agile, and he speaks very steadily. This hotel is not luxurious, and the so-called private rooms are only made of decorative partitions, and there is no door.
As soon as the two met, he took the lead in stretching out his hand and said, "Huang Jingzhong, Your Excellency is Fenglin?" ”
"Master Huang is really good eyesight, please take a seat." As I shook his hand, I said with a smile.
After the two finished their polite words, they added two more dishes. In this restaurant, there are not many people eating now, and it is estimated that because it is not an official scenic spot, there are not many tourists.
The conversation gradually led to business, and after a while of talking, I asked. "Master Huang, what do you think are the chances that they will find that thing?" I asked, handing it to him.
"Thank you! I don't know, after all, that's just a matter of legend. He took it and said.
Huang Jingzhong's cultivation is only a little stronger than Mo Pingping, but in the conversation, his experience in the rivers and lakes is very sophisticated. He said that the monks who came to Huangyao Ancient Town recently were for an ancient artifact, a powerful artifact.
