Lin Mei and I searched everywhere for Xueliyu, hoping to find her and heal her injuries, but unfortunately we searched for several months and never saw her.

I asked Xiaoxue for help, and I also asked Ouyang Zhenfei to use Xiantong to inquire about the news, but every time I got the news and rushed to it, she had just left. At first I suspected that Yuantong was holding her hostage, but later on several occasions witnesses said that a woman was seen riding on an old man's neck and running faster than the wind. From this point of view, Xueliyu has not suffered any grievances, and she is still very chic after losing her cultivation, maybe for some reason she doesn't want to see me, maybe Yuantong feels that she has no face to see me and deliberately avoids me. I remembered that Xueliyu had written to me that she was "fine", so I stopped looking for her, and if she wanted to see us, she would naturally appear; If she doesn't want to see us, wouldn't it make her angry to look for her everywhere?

When Lin Mei and I passed by the capital several times, we secretly went to see Lu Qingwen a few times, and too many things have happened to her in the past few months. Lu Chengshan did not have a beautiful funeral, and he was quietly cremated without even notifying his relatives and friends; Lu Qingwen's parents are indeed important personnel of the military, and it coincided with the adjustment of high-level military personnel, and they "retreated bravely" and returned to the field. The leaders care about them, give them villas and luxury cars, and they have no worries about food and clothing all their lives, except that they cannot travel abroad, their daily life is almost unaffected, and for ordinary people, it is already an unattainable life.

Compared with the ancient practice of punishing the nine clans at every turn, now it is really very civilized and benevolent, and I am somewhat relieved to know that Lu Qingwen and her family have no worries about their lives.

Once I overheard the conversation between Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng, I realized that I had wronged Yuantong, and the person who told Lu Chengshan was not Yuantong, but Qingguang Dao. On that day, the Qingguang Dao people happened to pass by nearby, and saw Yuantong running wildly with the bloody jade, he was very surprised but couldn't catch up with Yuantong, and found the place where we fought along the bloodstains, and met the officers and soldiers who tracked him...... Lu Chengshan knows that I am with Xueliyu, and Xueliyu is involved in this matter, can I still run?

I once killed a companion of the Qingguang Daoist, and the Qingguang Daoist indirectly harmed me once, this is also cause and effect, right?

On the first day of June, the crested hall in my hometown was officially completed by my donation, and the consecration ceremony of the new statue was officially completed. At this time, Lin Mei has been pregnant for more than seven months, her belly is bulging very high, and it is not appropriate to run around anymore, I am ready to enter the secret realm of the Ghost Valley after this matter is over, and give birth to a child with peace of mind.

The overall layout of the crested hall has not changed, it is only renovated from the old, but the original place where the coffin was put has been vacated, and everything is new, it feels much more spacious and bright, and it is no longer gloomy. The main hall is the fairy milk on the top of the fairy rock riding a unicorn, and there are maids and ghost slaves next to it; On the right are Mrs. Chen, Lin, and Li San (Mrs. Chen is Linshui Chen Jinggu, and the other two are also goddesses with great origins); On the left side is the blessed lord of the village and the father-in-law of the land, and a plump and beautiful statue of the goddess is also added, dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes, with nine tails on the back, but the tails look like they are decorative, not like they have grown.

Isn't this a light snow? Although the statue is very different from the real person, Lin Mei and I still recognize it at a glance. Not only are the facial features similar, the eyebrows, eyes, dimples, and the body shape and clothing are all similar, but she also holds a little white rabbit in her hand, who else is there besides Xiaoxue?

I turned my head to look around, it was still early, there were not many people in the temple, but the master who made the statue was there, and today's consecration ceremony was to be carried out by him. I walked over, "Master, why is there an extra statue?" ”

"Ah, Zhang Yuanshou, hello, hello. This is the moonlight Niangniang, can bless the village and outside the village peace, ask for a son, ask for wealth and wealth, the most effective, this one is my gift, do not charge money. ”

I asked in surprise, "Moonlight Lady?" Who told you to make this, and what is the origin? ”

The master who made the statue looked around, looking mysterious, and then approached me and whispered: "After molding all the statues that day, there are still some materials left, and I wanted to throw them away the next day...... As a result, all the materials were just used, no more, no less, you say God or not? ”

"Oh, oh, it's supernatural." I should agree, it seems that this is the idea of the fairy milk, Xiaoxue is really stronger than me, so soon to sit in the shrine. The entire temple is almost full of goddess statues, which is really a veritable crested temple.

Villagers flocked to the village, not only from their own village, but also from nearby villages, among which there were many elderly people and children. The old people are dressed in gorgeous ancient costumes when they enter the incense, and they wear fake flowers and various jewelry on their heads, which is their most enthusiastic activity; Children are playing and setting off fireworks and firecrackers, which is also a rare festival for them.

Grandma took Lin Mei's hand, smiled so hard that she kept asking this and that, especially about giving birth, there was a lot of experience to teach. At the end, he also took Lin Mei to kneel in front of the statues and burn incense, begging the fairy milk, Mrs. and the new moonlight lady to bless the size and give birth to a white fat boy and the like.

I think it's a little funny, please Xiaoxue to bless our children, it's a little funny, right?

Xiaoxue's voice came to mind in my head: "What are you laughing at, can't you?" You kneel down and kowtow three times, and I will send you a unicorn. ”

I turned my head to look at the door, just in time to see Xiaoxue walking in, but it was an unseen spirit. I saw her last month, but today she looks more demure and pretty, with a fairy air.

"Ah, the great god is here, I'll kowtow right away!" I turned around and walked a few steps to the futon, making a gesture to kneel, Xiaoxue immediately flashed to my side and pulled my ear: "Okay, you are willing to kneel for Lin Mei and the child, sure enough, you only love her!" ”

I laughed in my heart: "Why don't you give me one too?" I am also willing to kneel down and kowtow to beg other immortals. ”

"Hee-hee, aren't you afraid that I was born with a tail?"

"Uh, aren't you an immortal now, why do you still have a tail?"

"Can I still have children when I become an immortal?"

“……”

Xiaoxue and I were laughing, Wu Zhangya came over in a brand new white shirt, and the collar and cuffs were tightly buttoned on a hot day, but she did look more energetic. Although I took the lead and contributed most of the money for this reconstruction, he presided over and supervised the construction, and he also felt a great sense of accomplishment and worked hard.

Walking behind him was my second master, Lao Lin, who already had some white hair, but his body was still so strong and tough, his steps were powerful, his face was fierce, and his voice was like thunder: "Stinky boy, don't say a word when you came back, it's great to be rich, don't take me seriously?" ”

I hurriedly greeted him: "Hello Second Master, Hello Uncle Wu, I have just arrived for a while." By the way, I came back with a few bottles of Moutai, and we'll have a drink tonight. ”

Lao Lin immediately turned from anger to joy: "How many years Chen? ”

"At least twenty years, this is a boss in Moutai Town who asked me to do an errand, absolutely authentic."

"Okay, you have such a good thing for me to keep, and you are a little filial."

I exhaled, now that I am in a hurry, I don't have much time to accompany the second master, he has already had an opinion, so I specially kept a good wine to prepare for this pass.

"Xuan Mingxian's nephew, don't come?" The boiled stone people separated from the crowd and walked over.

Before I could speak, the second master rushed over and grabbed him: "Old thing, you're not dead yet!" I've looked for you countless times, but I haven't found a single one, I thought your old bones were eaten by hungry ghosts, and now which mouse hole did you get out of? ”

I haven't seen Boiled Stone since that day when I was separated from Xianyan, and now he still looks exactly the same as before, nothing has changed.

Boiling Shi smiled and parted Lao Lin's hand: "For the old disrespectful things, a lot of people are still moving their hands and feet when they are old, fortunately there are no bandits now, otherwise you would be a bandit!" ”

Wu Zhangya immediately said: "Yes, yes, I have long said that he was reincarnated as a bandit, and I dare to say that he will still be a bandit in the next life." ”

Lao Lin glared at Wu Zhangya and scolded: "Old thief, you dare to say me, if you put it in the past, you will be a traitor, Qin Hui and others, and the people of the country!" ”

……

I was in a trance, like I had gone back in time. In the past, when the master was alive, the three of them often scolded and scolded like this, the master was the most honest and tolerant one, most of the time he only watched from the sidelines, but when he was forced to scold, he was the most ruthless, alas, how good it would be if the master was still alive!

Lin Mei also came to meet everyone, naturally she had a lot to say, and the congratulations to me were endless.

After a while, the auspicious time arrived, and the ceremony began, first Wu Zhangya read an article, mainly to explain the reason for the reconstruction of the crested hall, in order to bless the safety of the township, thank everyone for their money and efforts, etc. It is inevitable that I will be praised here, because I have spent a lot of money on building temples, and I have also paid for the reconstruction of schools, built several wooden bridges that were often washed away by floods into cement bridges, widened paths, dug canals to divert water to irrigate farmland, and sent money and food to people in need in the village...... I laughed at this, fame and fortune have long been out of my mind, and the money spent is not all my money, I just want to do something good with sincerity.

After that, there are ceremonies such as inviting the gods, opening the light, and praying for blessings, and there are already four quasi-immortals present, and this ritual is of course very effective.

After the ceremony, there is a luncheon, and some villagers will prepare dishes and pick them up at the temple, and warmly invite everyone, whether they know each other or not. There are various activities in the afternoon, these are the spiritual sustenance and self-entertainment of the old people, and I have nothing to do with it, I was looking for a chance to play with Lin Mei, and suddenly felt that someone was staring at me, and a very familiar atmosphere.

I turned my head and saw a tall girl in the crowd, wearing a pink dress and a midi dress, with long hair tucked behind her, a smooth and full forehead, beautiful eyebrows and sideburns, and phoenix eyes, standing there like a chicken. She looked at me, although her eyes were still a little melancholy, but her petal-like face gradually showed a smile, revealing her snow-white and neat teeth, and it felt like a gorgeous peony blooming in front of her eyes.

I was stunned for a moment, why did she come?

Lu Qingwen walked up to me and asked generously, "What, I'm not welcome?" ”

"Of course welcome, just ...... You're not here to watch the ceremony, are you? ”

"I'm here to apprentice, will you accept it?"

"Huh?" I was stunned again.

"I want to be your junior sister, not your apprentice!" Lu Qingwen said with certainty, "Do you accept it or not?" ”

Can I say no?
