Zhou Xing is a person with a background, he was originally a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, the so-called Zhengyi, also known as the Taoist Gong, is a kind of document that records the name of the god and the general.

Zhou Xing is the Taoist priest who received the first award, and he has cultivated for many years, and has cultivated to the sixth grade, and has the name of the Taiji Left Palace Leader Cactus Thunder Command, this grade and name, different from the world, these official names and grades are just the job grades of Taoist priests in the immortal world.

Although Zhou Xing's qualifications are not good, but fortunately, he is hardworking, and he is about to be awarded the second time, and he happened to go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits, and met Zhou Dian's mother, and fell in love at first sight, regardless of marrying, and became a Taoist priest of Huoju. The so-called Huoju Taoist, that is, the Taoist priest in the Zhengyi Sect has not left home, people call it the Huoju Taoist, they can live in the palace, they can also have a family, do not abstain from alcohol and meat during the non-fasting period, accept disciples to preach, but the convention is that the father does not pass on the son, the Huoju Taoist usually wears vulgar clothes, and only goes to practice when there is a festive funeral.

Although Zhou Xing became a Taoist priest of Huoju and could not practice the Five Thunder Righteous Method, after all, he was taught and a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect, so it was not a problem to catch ghosts and draw talismans, but within two years of this good day, the wife he married gave birth to Zhou Dian and passed away, and there was no way Zhou Xing took his son back to Longhu Mountain. Eating and drinking all day long, passing in a daze.

The rule of the Zhengyi Sect is that the father and son of the Huoju Taoist priest cannot be passed on to each other, so Zhou Xing found someone with a good relationship with the same door, let Zhou Dian worship under the door, and also became a Taoist. But Zhou Dian was born with a vision, don't look at his five big and three thick looks like he is in his thirties, in fact, he is two years older than Lin Qi, his left side of the face birthmark covers his eyes, there is a name, called ghost blinding, he was born to see ghosts and spirits, but his right eye is no different from ordinary people.

Zhou Dian is a material for learning the Tao, Wu surnamed Gao is scary, that is, he has been suffering from epilepsy since he was a child, his brain is sometimes not enough, and he speaks straightforwardly, once he drank, Master Zhou Dian drank too much, and began to brag about his profound Taoism.

When the master blew to forget himself, it was the best time for the apprentices to pat themselves, everyone seized the opportunity and echoed one after another, you say a word to me, what flesh and numb words have come out, what is unprecedented, what will be achieved sooner or later, pedantic and manable, mana is strong, Master Zhou Dian was fluttering for a while, and his mouth and smile couldn't be closed. Seeing that this meal of wine was about to be completed, this guy came to a sentence without a head: The master's Taoism is so strong, and the surname is so high, why haven't you become an immortal?

This brick directly slapped his master from the clouds to the world, and he didn't speak with a gloomy face, and he broke up unhappily.

As far as Zhou Dian's mouth is concerned, if others hadn't seen his father's face, he would have been torn apart a long time ago, who would really teach him? But Zhou Dian doesn't care, if you teach me, I will learn, if you don't teach me, I will play by myself, originally such a small life is not bad, then I think that in the past few years, the world has been plagued by famines, and the people can't eat, who has spare money to worship God.

The same is true on Longhu Mountain, the incense money is less, this week is a person who can eat, a meal can be up to the other seven or eight Taoist priests, other Taoist priests have opinions, Zhang Zhenren also feels helpless, called Zhou Xing and his son, talked about a channel, summed up just a few, now the mountain is sluggish, your son is too able to eat, the mountain can't afford to support you, go down the mountain.

In desperation, the two of them went down the mountain, but if it is not peaceful today, nine out of ten places are either drought or waterlogging, it is not so easy to find food to eat, and fortunately, Zhou Xing has studied Taoism for more than 20 years, not how profound it is, but he knows a lot, he can tell fortunes and criticize eight characters, find a yin house to see a feng shui, he understands, he can drive away evil spirits and catch ghosts, and he can also drive out corpses and call souls.

After running around for so many years, he mixed up food and clothing, but he broke out a nickname in the rivers and lakes, Zhou Xing's face was too long, and he was pimple, and his donkey face was too human, and everyone called him a donkey head old way. When I met Lin Qi, it was also because I took a job to drive the corpse, and I wanted to pick up a man named Qian Siyuan from the local town and send it to Huanglinggang, and it was a long way from here to Huanglinggang, but the price offered by the other party was high, a full fifty taels of silver, which was five times that of an ordinary corpse.

Lin Qi was already desperate, chasing Zhou Xing to apprentice, Zhou Xing saw that he was smart and clever, and he also liked it, Zhou Dian shouted on the side to accept it, and Zhou Xing agreed, but the real apprentice had to wait for him to tell the mountain gate before he could be regarded as a formal master and apprentice, and now he is a registered disciple.

To say that Zhou Xing is not a bad person, the reason why he accepted Lin Qi is because in his business, sometimes it is inevitable to pretend to be a ghost, and someone has to cooperate to earn more silver, but his son Zhou Dian is a heartless person, and he can tell the truth about it, and if he can earn ten taels of silver, in the end, he can collect five taels Thank God. Zhou Xing also has the heart to find a partner or apprentice, but his poor virtue is that no child is willing to send him into his wolf's den, so it has been delayed until now.

Seeing that Lin Qi is a smart and clever person, without his parents, he won't have so many entanglements, and he will cooperate with him to say something scaring to people in the future, and he can earn more money, such a good thing, where to find it? I took it right away, took Zhou Dian and Lin Qi, and rushed to the town.

This town near Lin Qi's house, called Fenglin Town, there are hundreds of families in the town, although it is a small town, it is also complete, Lin Qi has never walked out of the mountains since he was a child, and when he walked under the city gate, he saw a dead man hanging on a flagpole outside the main gate, this person is in his thirties, his tongue is sticking out, his skin is shriveled, and it seems that he has hung some days, at this time it is autumn, people are dried under the wind and cold, and his eyes are blown into two meat balls, and people are also like bacon, shriveled and thin, swaying, and very infiltrating.

There was also a notice posted on the city wall next to it, Lin Qi looked at it, and it said that this person was a demon of the White Lotus Sect, who used witchcraft to confuse people's hearts, and instigated the people to rebel......

Lin Qi looked strange, but Zhou Dian traveled south and north in the past two years, and said to him: "In the past two years, the world has not been peaceful, there have been troubles everywhere, and the government will hang them if they catch them, hang them on the city gate, and scare the people." ”

When Lin Qi heard him say, he praised him for being well-informed, Zhou Dian is a rectum, Lin Qi is a crooked intestine and can speak, coaxing Zhou Dian to grin all the time, I just feel that this Xiao Lin Zi is simply the best person in the world, and shouts that there will be buns in the future to divide Lin Qi's half. Never eat alone.

There is little gossip, but it is said that Zhou Xing took Zhou Dian and Lin Qi to the town, found the only inn and stayed overnight, Zhou Xing did not have much money, the three of them lived in one room, he slept in the bed, and let Zhou Dian and Lin Qi sleep on the ground. After breakfast, I waited for the employer to come to the door, but I waited left and right, waited for a day, and no one came to find it, Zhou Xing was a little unable to sit still, the silver had been spent almost all the way to come, and I was expecting to receive the deposit first, so as to get through this period of time, if the employer did not come, it would be cut off.

Zhou Dian lay down and fell asleep without thinking about it, Lin Qi was also over-drained these two days, and fell asleep unconsciously, leaving Zhou Xing unable to sleep with a sad face, looking at the bright moon outside the window and sighing, very sad.

Seeing that the moon was on the willow top, Zhou Xing couldn't wait for his employer, so he thought about sleeping, and just made the bed, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "It's Zhou Xing in the house, is Zhou Daochang long?" ”

The voice of the person who came was very soft, and there was vigilance hidden in his tone, but Zhou Xing was happy in his ears, and hurriedly responded: "I am Zhou Xing, but the employer is here?" ”

The door creaked open and a man in his forties came in, wearing a green robe, with a lofty spirit, and he closed the door carefully, then turned around, hugged his fists and said: "Han Shantong in Xia Luan City, let Dao wait for a long time." ”

Zhou Xing waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing, dare to ask where Xishen is?" Will you leave tonight, or tomorrow night? ”

Han Shantong smiled at him, took out a silver ingot from his arms, about twenty taels, stuffed it to Zhou Xing, and said, "Leave tonight, the god of joy is hanging at the gate of the city." ”
