Xu Meng walked down the street, thinking of what had just happened in the wine shop, and exhaled lightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't believe that the other party was just asking him for a meal for no reason, you must know that for monks, not to mention that this money comes at hand, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, how can he need to ask for it.

The old Taoist priest must have something to do with himself, but no matter how big or small, Xu Meng doesn't want to get involved.

And his intuition told him that there was nothing good for the old Taoist priest to find him.

I found an inn everywhere, ate some food, and opened a room to stay.

......

Xu Meng sat on the bed, the mana in his body was running, constantly condensing and gathering, and the Zhou Tian acupoints in his body also absorbed all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the mana in his body between exhaling and breathing.

His own cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of refining and refining the god, and he is only a little close to breaking through, the old man with ventriloquist who met in the wine shop a few days ago has slightly improved his state of mind, Xu Meng tried to see if he could break through to the late stage of refining and refining the god.

"Whew~"

Xu Meng exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and frowned, although his cultivation has improved, he is still so close to reaching the late stage of practicing qi and transforming gods, but this gap is like a heavenly mound.

However, Xu Meng didn't care, believing that this gap would not take long to make up.

"Bangbang ......"

There was a knock on the closed door.

"Who?"

"Childe, I'm a shop buddy, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I'll send you some zongzi."

Is the Dragon Boat Festival today? Listening to the sound outside the door, Xu Meng was slightly stunned.

Calculated the time, found that today is really the Dragon Boat Festival, shook his head, smiled bitterly, waved his robe, and the door bolt of the guest room opened silently, "Come in." ”

After getting Xu Meng's reply, Xiao Er opened the door, holding a tray in his hand, saw Xu Meng sitting on the bed, and said with a smile, "This son, this is what our small shop has prepared for you." ”

After speaking, Xiao Er put down the tray in his hand and put down a plate of zongzi and a few snacks inside. "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the city is lively, not only in the city, but even in the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River outside the city, there are many people to worship Longjun and pay tribute to the ancestors."

"You use it slowly, I'll step back first." Xiao Er smiled and withdrew.

If Xu Meng and Amber saw this snack, I'm afraid they would be very happy, Xu Meng looked at the zongzi and dim sum on the table, and unconsciously thought of Xu Meng and Amber.

He laughed, shook his head, didn't touch the snacks on the table, got up and opened the door, and prepared to go out to have a look.

As soon as I got out of the inn, I found that this Jinling city was really different from when I first came, and it was more lively and prosperous.

The streets are bustling, and there are calamus leaves woven into a sword shape on the door of every house, hanging at the head of the door, which is called "Pu Sword", which is used to ward off evil spirits. It is also used to weave mugwort leaves into a tiger shape or human shape, hanging on the head of the door, and can also ward off evil spirits.

Also hanging on the door, there is a five-color peach seal, six inches long and three inches wide, made of peach wood, engraved with five-color characters, the purpose is naturally to ward off evil spirits.

The pedestrians on the street have human shapes and gourd shapes woven from calamus leaves on their heads, and there are many children with incense sachets hanging from their waists, which are filled with cinnabar, realgar, incense and other things, which are not only festive decorations, but also have the effect of warding off evil spirits and driving away plagues.

Children on the street are frolicking on the street, and some children hold a long grass, hold both ends of the hand, and intersect with each other's long grass crosses, pulling each other to see whose grass is tougher, and pulling off other people's grass, this kind of game is called fighting grass.

In the middle of summer in May, the grass is abundant, and the grass is divided into martial arts and cultural fighting.

Martial arts is what I said above, and Wendou is to use the grass name to fight, and the skillful one wins, such as "podocarpus" to "Guanyin willow", and "husband and wife" to "sister flower".

Xu Meng walked on the street, feeling the rich solar terms, a scene that could not be seen in later generations.

As for the calamus grass on each household, it also has some solar terms, but it has some effect of driving away evil spirits and suppressing demons.

When I walked to a place, I suddenly heard a commotion, and as far as I could see, a team of people and horses carrying pigs, cows, sheep and other sacrifices carried out of the city, thinking that they were going to worship the river god and the dragon king.

Xu Meng's heart moved, and he followed, in addition to the sacrificial temple blessings, there were also some people who watched the excitement or went to pray for the protection of the dragon king.

A group of people out of the city, walked a short distance, came to the Qinhuai River, at this time the Qinhuai River is also crowded with people, many scholars stand on the Qinhuai River to look at the dragon boat in the river, and the river to watch the ladies, laughing and talking about literature.

When the people by the river saw this group of people, they all looked sideways and gave way to their positions.

The group walked to the river, put pigs, cows, sheep and other livestock on the wooden plank, first prepared, and then an old man came out and sang the mourning message.

Then, when the planks were drawn out, strange to say, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle of the river, as if bottomless, and swallowed up the tributes such as pigs, cows, sheep, etc.

In the face of this kind of scene, everyone was accustomed to it, and they were relieved to see that Long Jun had accepted the sacrifice, which meant that Long Jun would continue to protect this water and soil.

Seeing this scene, Xu Meng's eyes condensed slightly, separated a wisp of divine sense, and probed into the water.

As soon as the divine consciousness probed into the water, he felt a sense of astringency, as if there was an invisible resistance, his brows furrowed slightly, and the divine consciousness was attached to the pigs and sheep, and there was no astringency.

Pigs, cattle and sheep and other sacrifices sank all the way to the bottom of the water, and there were already some large shrimp and crabs waiting under the water.

This palace Qionglou Palace, majestic and solemn, with mountain stones as embellishments, with pearls as candlelight, with coral treasures as ornaments, there are often a team of shrimp soldiers and crabs around the palace will be patrolling.

This is the Dragon Palace Water Mansion in the Qinhuai River? It was really extraordinary, which opened Xu Meng's eyes.

Fortunately, no one checked the tributes in this team, so they followed them all the way into the Dragon Palace.

Then the pair of shrimp soldiers and crabs will pull the tribute to a large hall, the main hall is extremely empty, there are several jade pillars to support, and there are mountain stone shells to decorate, there is a seat on the main hall, on which all kinds of pendants are hung with all kinds of rare treasures.

Suddenly, a girl ran over from the side, and it was obvious that the girl's status was very high, but she had just appeared, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs present knelt down and saluted.

The girl didn't react to the saluting shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and curiously circled around the tribute, and then pursed her lips in disappointment, "It's these things every year, can't you change them to something new?" ”

"Of course, this tribute is also exquisite, how can you come indiscriminately." A deep voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in a cyan robe appeared, glancing at the woman with doting.

"Then can't you get them to change something?" The girl said coquettishly.

"It's not going to work."

"Where is the thief snooping?" Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he seemed to sense Xu Meng's divine sense, and then his face changed, and he scolded, and a huge pressure suddenly appeared, pressing towards the surroundings.

This wisp of consciousness was suddenly shattered by this tremendous pressure.

Xu Meng on the river bank snorted, a wisp of divine consciousness was broken, and his heart was slightly injured, but Xu Meng didn't care, this wisp of divine consciousness could be replenished in only three or five days.

The essence in his eyes flashed, and there were indeed gods in this Qinhuai River.

......

In the evening, Xu Meng prepared to return to the inn.

After this day's travel, Xu Meng's eyes were opened and he felt quite novel and interesting.

Suddenly, Xu Meng saw a family, and was slightly stunned, even if there was a Pu sword hanging on it, there was a looming demonic aura, and there must be demons and evil in this family.

Immediately, an old man rushed to the door from the side with a wooden box, his face was happy, "Yes, yes, there is help, Master Huichan is here." ”

Hearing this shout, a middle-aged woman ran out of the door, with an anxious face, and asked, "Where is Master Huichan?" ”

"No, I'm wrong, Master Hui Chan is rushing here, I can arrive tomorrow, here is a picture scroll handed over to me by Master Hui Chan, which can shock the demon." The old man said, holding the wooden box.

"Then hang it up." The woman hurriedly invited the old man into the hospital.

Xu Meng retracted his gaze, shook his head, and walked towards the inn, this house was only one street away from the inn, very close, and it was only a moment to arrive.

Walking into the inn, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Childe, I'm tired, I've already prepared hot water and meals for you." ”

Xu Meng nodded, walked upstairs, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Man, do you know what happened to the family on the street?" ”

"Oh, Childe, you know that too?" Xiao Er glanced around and whispered.

"What's the matter?"

"It's that family, that family's surname is Sun, his eldest daughter-in-law somehow provoked a fox spirit and was entangled by the other party, and I can hear a strange cry like a fox every day for the past few days." Xiao Er had a little fear on his face.

"Vixen?"

"That's right, it's the vixen, they've been looking for mages in a hurry these days, ready to exorcise evil spirits."

Thinking of the old man with a panicked look he saw before, Xu Meng nodded, thinking to himself in his heart, this will be in troubled times, all the demons and monsters will come out, and there are many extraordinary and well-known people he has seen in the past few days, such as Lei Cao and the ventriloquist old man, as well as the wine Taoist.

Compared to these people, this vixen is nothing.

"Guest, do you need wine, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, our store has prepared realgar wine, how many glasses do you want to drink?" Xiao Er saw that Xu Meng had no intention of talking more and asked.

"No need." Xu Meng shook his head and walked upstairs.

Ordinary people drink realgar wine to strengthen their bodies, and he is successful in cultivation, but he is not afraid of any diseases.

As soon as he returned to the room, Xu Meng's expression moved slightly and disappeared into the room.
