Chapter 488: Shi Yuqing
Xiangyun Mountain. It is located in Henan Province. Henan Province is one of the twenty-four provinces in the world. The twenty-four prefectures in the world are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so there is a saying that it is called the Central Plains.
The Central Plains is rich, but Xiangyun Mountain and Yunlong Mountain are the same as the veins, this generation of mountains and mountains, if those martial arts masters with profound martial arts, or those who are proficient in Xuandao magic, it is fine.
Those ordinary people whose ancestors lived in Xiangyun Mountain basically found it difficult to wade through mountains and rivers and come out of Xiangyun Mountain.
The Xiangyun Mountains are vast and the mountain roads are inconvenient, so even under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, there is no way to penetrate into the Xiangyun Mountains.
Therefore, in addition to the periphery of Xiangyun Mountain and a few large counties and towns, those small villages that go deep into Xiangyun Mountain, the imperial court simply let them go. There is no tax burden, and all the problems are left to them to solve.
There is nothing particularly famous about Xiangyun Mountain.
There are too many famous mountains and rivers in the world. Mount Tai is famous for being high, Yellow Mountain is outstanding for being dangerous and strange, and Yunlong Mountain is shrouded in fog and veil, and it is named after resembling a long dragon. In addition to these famous holy places in the world, there are too many mountains and rivers whose names no one knows.
Xiangyun Mountain is just one of them. And maybe because of the Xiangyun Mountain Boundary, there have been no powerful literati, and there are no foreign writers who write poems to praise her, so the most famous person in the Xiangyun Mountain Realm is a woman.
This woman's name is Shi Yuqing. It is rumored that Shi Yuqing was born without crying or making trouble. The midwife in charge of the delivery tried her best to pinch her and pat her, but she couldn't make her cry. Generally speaking, when the baby is born, the midwife must make her cry. From the sound of crying, you can judge whether the child is healthy, and at the same time, whether there is something blocked in the mouth and trachea.
If a child is born without crying or fussing, then it is very likely that she will die. However, unexpectedly, Shi Yuqing did not die young, but grew up healthily. It's just that she never cries, she never laughs, and she never speaks. But under the corner of her eye, there is a tear mole, very beautiful.
When she was seven years old, Shi Yuqing's mother fell ill and died. Only she and her father were left to rely on each other. When she was ten years old, her father was killed by robbers on the way. So she was left alone. After Shi Yuqing's parents died, her uncle was disgusted with her killing his father, so he sold her to a large family as a concubine.
It's a pity that in just three years, this family was destroyed by a fire. Only Shi Yuqing and an old servant who served her survived. After that, Shi Yuqing married many times. Because she is stunningly beautiful, captivating the country and the city, and legend has it that as long as she is a man, she will be charmed by her when he looks at her, and he will be fascinated from then on. Therefore, the people she married were basically either rich businessmen or dignitaries.
However, these people, after marrying Shi Yuqing, basically only three years ago, they encountered misfortune and their families were ruined. So folklore has it that Shi Yuqing was a natural disaster. Whoever marries her is unlucky. But even so, there are still people who don't want to eat after seeing Shi Yuqing's beauty, and just want to spend a good night with her.
Finally, when Shi Yuqing was twenty-four years old. A wealthy businessman took Shi Yuqing as a concubine, but the original wife of the rich businessman was not an ordinary person. Her father was born in the middle of the world. is a famous swordsman on the rivers and lakes, specializing in walking the world and killing ghosts for people. This girl grew up under the influence of her father since she was a child, and she also practiced her skills.
When this woman heard that her husband wanted to take Shi Yuqing as a concubine, she secretly peeped, her husband was in a trance, as if he had been disabled, and secretly inquired again, and learned about Shi Yuqing's identity and origin, and she had an idea in her heart.
On the surface, this woman said very generously to her husband that she was willing to accept Shi Yuqing. But in fact, she secretly spent a lot of money to invite all kinds of masters in the rivers and lakes and some mages who specialize in catching ghosts and eliminating demons.
On the day Shi Yuqing entered, the original wife of the rich businessman took these people to catch Shi Yuqing. Then they stripped Shi Yuqing of her clothes and pushed them to the vegetable market, and then at the entrance of the market, they counted the accusations against her, saying that she was in calamity to the demon country! Then the original wife of the rich merchant picked up a big knife and cut off Shi Yuqing's head with a knife in the vegetable market.
From being arrested, to being stripped naked, and even being killed, Shi Yuqing never said a word from beginning to end. She never showed a frightened expression, let alone begged for mercy, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Until her head was cut off, something unbelievable happened.
Shi Yuqing's beautiful head rolled twice on the ground, but at this time, in the flat ground, there was a light breeze, and this light wind blew, and Shi Yuqing's head fell on the ground, and it rose against the wind and fell back on her body.
Seeing such a situation, the original wife of the wealthy businessman was shocked, but she shouted and let the surrounding masters in the rivers and lakes and Xuandao who were invited by her take action to suppress Shi Yuqing. But with a wave of Shi Yuqing's sleeves, those people stumbled and fell to the ground, motionless.
Then Shi Yuqing sighed and just said, "I was originally a fairy in the sky who left the sea of sorrow, but I was punished to the lower realm because I committed the rules of heaven." Now, it can be regarded as a calamity, and you can return to the fairy court. Saying this, Shi Yuqing turned into a fairy and soared in the day.
And so ends the story. It's just that among the folklore, there are other legends. Some legends say that the original wife of a wealthy merchant is actually an immortal in the sky. She went down to earth with Shi Yuqing in order to slash her and help her complete. It is also said that after Shi Yuqing flew to the immortals, the wealthy businessman's family died violently.
In addition, there is also a saying that Shi Yuqing is actually a demon who does evil. Specializes in lurking in the world and harming people's lives. Use the lives of mortals as food to improve your cultivation and Taoism. It's just that after being discovered, she was worried that she would kill all these people and attract the attention of the righteous masters, so she pretended to be a fairy and fled.
But these are all rumors, and the truth of the past has long been buried in the past and is not known to anyone.
However, although Huijue followed the words of his master and came to Xiangyun Mountain, after walking around the boundary of Xiangyun Mountain, what made him quite helpless was that he couldn't find any Longjian Village at all.
The Xiangyun Mountains are vast, and there are many small villages on the mountains. Some of these small villages do not interact with the outside world at all, but live like a paradise.
