Chapter 246: The Legend of the Shadowless Temple and the Phoenix Land
Remembering that she had already sent two bowls to Scud's mother, Qi Xiaoting broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly asked Scud, "How do you feel?" ”
Scud: "I saw that the dumplings were not very fast, so I ate more wine and food, and only tasted one dumpling per plate." After drinking ambergris herbal water, it's okay now. I hurried home to see my old mother. ”
The shopkeeper: "Maybe it's okay, those two bowls weren't cooked with this, and they were served by Fei Ye himself in the kitchen, without running through the hands of the hall." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Don't be lucky. You hurriedly take two hand-twisted gourds and send them to the old man. To be on the safe side, if there is nothing to do, drink it quickly. ”
Scuds took the gourd and ran out of the door. His own mother, he thinks more than anyone else.
"Look, is the poison sprinkled on the outside of the dumplings, or is it wrapped inside?" Long Yi reminded.
Qi Xiaoting took things out several times, and simply explained the situation to him with a sound transmission.
Qi Xiaoting broke the dumplings with chopsticks, and tried the stuffing with silver chopsticks, but fortunately, there was no poison in the filling. Qi Xiaoting hurriedly transmitted the sound of Long Yi.
Ryuichi: "That's when you serve dumplings." Look for it on the body of the runner. ”
"Where is the man who brought us dumplings now?" Qi Xiaoting asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper: "It's not in the kitchen, it's just delivering food to customers." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Hurry up and catch him, don't cast everywhere, in that case, your inn must be closed." ”
The shopkeeper led Qi Xiaoting to the kitchen, where was the shadow of the new employee
"Where's Xiao Yue'er? Where did Xiao Yue'er go? The shopkeeper asked a shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper: "I saw him go out in the northwest direction, maybe he went to the latrine." ”
At this time, there are street toilets everywhere in the countryside, and when there are many guests in the inn, the staff of the store do not use the toilet of the inn. One is for cleanliness, and the other is for the convenience of guests.
The two came to the toilet facing the street in the northwest direction, but they didn't see Xiao Yue'er's shadow.
"Did you see the guy in my inn?" The shopkeeper asked a passer-by.
"Out of the village." The passer-by replied: "In a panic, I ran towards the Qingliangjiang Bridge." ”
The bridge that passers-by said is the Tanglin Bridge, a tributary of the Qingliang Jiangxi River. After crossing the bridge, the road leads straight to Wang Jun. And there are many villages on both sides of the road, so it's really not easy to find one.
"You go behind, I'll put on the magic talisman to chase after you." Qi Xiaoting said to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is an ordinary person and can't use the magic talisman, so Qi Xiaoting can only choose to fight alone.
Catching Xiao Yue'er is very important, one is to find out the purpose of his poisoning, and the most important thing is to get the antidote from him.
Ambergris herbal water can detoxify, but time is slow, Li Hong's life is saved, and it will take three or two days to recover his strength.
The antidote is one thing to one thing, just like brine tofu, which can receive immediate results.
Qi Xiaoting walked like a fly under the effect of the Divine Talisman, and after a while, she caught up with Xiao Yue'er, who was running away in a panic.
"Do you still recognize me?" Qi Xiaoting stopped in front of Xiao Yue'er, stared at him and asked.
"You...... Not a guest of Room 3? Xiao Yue'er also recognized Qi Xiaoting: "The dumplings have been given to you, you don't eat dumplings at the inn, what are you doing here?" ”
"The dumplings are complete, but the poison has also been detected!" Qi Xiaoting glared angrily: "Go back with me and make things clear!" ”
"Poisonous?" Xiao Yue'er pretended to be surprised: "I dare to assure the heavens that this poison is definitely not mine." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "It's you and not you, let's talk about it when I go back." We don't wronged a good person, and we don't spare a bad person. Say, are you going by yourself, or am I carrying you? ”
"You...... Carrying me? Xiao Yue'er showed a disdainful expression: "I don't know who is carrying whom?" After speaking, he spit out a breath of demonic breath, wanting to smoke Qi Xiaoting down.
Qi Xiaoting had a demon suppression talisman on her body, and she drank ambergris herbal water, which was enough to resist the demon qi.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Qi Xiaoting saw him use nirvana, "Smack!" A slap knocked him down, stepped on another foot, and hurriedly went to his pocket to get the demon charm.
"No!" Long Yi stopped him by saying, "If you knock it back to its original body, you won't be able to ask anything." Tie him up and bring him back to ask. ”
Qi Xiaoting hurriedly used her mind to take out the demon rope from the space, tied the hands and feet of the little demon, and returned to the inn.
Scud had already returned, saying that his mother was fine, that there was no poison in the two bowls of dumplings at home, and that his mother was safe and sound.
Li Hong, Dongsheng, and Li Hei'er, after drinking ambergris herbal water, their stomachs didn't hurt anymore. But he was exhausted, tired and unable to keep up.
Qi Xiaoting threw the little demon on the ground and shouted, "Where is the antidote?" Take it out and spare your life. ”
The little demon has a hard mouth, but he doesn't admit that he is poisoned, and he also says that there is no antidote.
"It's not you who poisoned it, so what are you running for? Why do you use demon mist to fan me? ”
The little demon knew that he had exposed his feet, so he lay on the ground and played a scoundrel and said no more.
Qi Xiaoting took a look, took out a three-edged needle, and said, "Say not to say, don't say to pierce people." ”
Xiao Yue'er saw that the three-edged needle was as thick as a soybean grain, and it had to be pierced with a needle, and he didn't pierce his lips! I thought: I have been captured, and I can't hide without saying anything, so I hurriedly said: "In my right pocket." ”
Scud reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small paper bag. Spread out, and inside was black powder.
Qi Xiaoting didn't know whether it was true or not, so she sprinkled the noodles in the bag on top of the poisonous dumplings, and then tried it with silver pieces. Sure enough, the poison was gone. Knowing that this was the real antidote, he gave Li Hong, Dongsheng, and Li Hei'er some each.
Scud and Qi Xiaoting ate less, and there was no major problem, so they didn't take it again.
"Who poisoned you?" Qi Xiaoting asked the little demon again.
Xiao Yue'er: "It's an old way, he told me about the appearance characteristics of a few of you, and said that as long as you come, you will find an opportunity to poison you." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "When did you say that?" ”
Xiao Yue'er: "Yesterday morning. He asked me to come here and apply and wait for you. ”
Yesterday morning, it was time for them to rescue Wu Cuiying home. It seems that the snake demon can pinch and calculate, and he has expected that they will come here to stay and eat dumplings.
"Where have they gone now?" Qi Xiaoting asked again.
Xiao Yue'er shook her head: "I don't know." I only heard that it seems to be going from Zao Forest to the Shadowless Temple. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Shadowless Temple? Where is the Shadowless Temple? ”
Scud: "There is a shadowless temple on T-shaped street at the west end of Wang Jun Village. The entire Thornjin Prefecture, just this one, must have gone there. ”
"What else did they tell you?" Qi Xiaoting asked Xiao Yue'er again.
Xiao Yue'er: "No. They said, as long as you die with medicine, he will take me as a disciple, follow him to fight the world, and make me a great official in the future. ”
"Smack!"
Qi Xiaoting took a picture of the demon talisman, and Xiao Yue'er appeared in her original form, which turned out to be a big-eyed thief - a vole.
"Let's be a big official in the next life! For your sake, for the sake of providing the antidote and information, spare your life. Get lost! ”
The big-eyed thief looked at everyone in confusion, and then slipped out along the wall.
The shopkeeper stuck out his tongue: "My good man, it turned out to be a goblin!" No wonder it's called Xiao Yue'er, it turned out to be a little demon. It's a shame that you've come to get rid of it, or else you wouldn't know what would have happened! ”
Scud: "If you know it's a goblin, why don't you kill it?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "It can be cultivated, at least it must have hundreds of years of cultivation." This fight back to the original body, everything started from scratch, which was more uncomfortable than asking for its life. I'm afraid I don't have the heart to cultivate anymore. A big-eyed thief, why should he take his life? ”
The shopkeeper removed the poisoned dumplings and wanted to cook new ones. After this toss, everyone no longer has an appetite. Qi Xiaoting settled the account, and the five of them marched towards Wang Jun Shadowless Temple together.
The Shadowless Temple is in the middle of the T-shaped street at the west end of Wangjun Village, and there is a folk legend about this Shadowless Temple:
In Wangjun Township, Jianjin Prefecture, there is such a saying: "Wangjun has a T-shaped street, and there is a shadowless temple on T-shaped street, which is located in the west of the village." ”
About T-shaped Street, Shadowless Temple and Phoenix Land, the folk legend is as follows:
A long, long time ago, the Hundred Bird King Phoenix went to the Heavenly Palace to participate in the Hundred Immortals Meeting. When he returned to Penglai Xiandao after the meeting, he settled in a field in the west of Wang Jun Village, and the land covered by its figure was protected by the land god.
The wind can't blow away the soil, and the water can't wash away. Over time, the land protruded into a phoenix shape, with a radius of dozens of acres. The tail of the phoenix faces west, the head rushes east, the eyes are two clear pits, and the beak is a bright avenue.
Later, three families of Wang, Zhou and Bian moved in, and lived in the east, south and north of the phoenix beak respectively.
After a long time, it has multiplied from generation to generation, and it has become a village, and the street has formed a "D" shape.
Since the Wang family came the earliest, the village was named Wangjun Village. The three surnames live in harmony, but they are also safe.
I don't know what year and generation, a family surnamed Zhao moved from elsewhere. Old man Zhao heard the story of the phoenix land and thought: It is said that the phoenix does not fall into the treasure land! Since you have settled here, there must be treasures underground.
He did everything possible to get his hands on the phoenix, and took his children and grandchildren to dig up treasures there. After digging for half a year and six months, not a single stone was dug up.
Old man Zhao was puzzled, so he found Mr. Feng Shui to see what kind of blessing the Phoenix Land Lord had.
Mr. Feng Shui looked around the village, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "This land is indeed a treasure, but it is better not to alarm it." ”
Old man Zhao was overjoyed when he heard that "it is indeed a treasure land", and hurriedly asked, "Why is the treasure treasure?" Why can't you be alarmed? But it doesn't hurt to ask the gentleman to make it clear. ”
Mr. Feng Shui said: "This phoenix landlord is an official fortune. If he is buried in the heart of the phoenix after death, the Lord himself will call the emperor king in the next life; If it is buried in the legs, the descendants of the lord will be in and out of the prime minister; If it is buried in the wings, the son-in-law of the lord's descendants is an official in the court.
"It's just that this phoenix has been sleeping for thousands of years, once it is buried in the bones, the magic suddenly rises, and its beak that sticks into the village will peck at the creatures in the village, and exchange the people of a village for the glory of a family. So, it's better not to alarm it as well. ”
