Chapter 21 Silk Play
After realizing that the middle-aged man in front of him was a more hateful figure than Xu Han, he decisively returned to Xu Han's arms, and he hid behind Xu Han and stared at the man in front of him with wide eyes.
Xu Han saw these in his eyes, but he didn't break them, but looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Brother Chu has figured out the affairs of Longyin Temple in Great Xia these days?"
Xu Han made a plan to come to Great Xia early in the morning, but the trip was delayed because of the blood yuan in his body, Chu Qiuli was an idle person, Xu Han saw that he was bored by his side, so he simply asked him to come to Great Xia first to find out the situation.
Chu Qiuli was a rectum, and he said that he would leave, and Xu Han only found that he was no longer entangled, so he remembered that there was still Chu Qiuli who screamed and called him.
"Hey, this Great Xia is even more mixed with dragons and snakes than our Great Zhou, just this famous sect is a big handful, no wonder we can't win against others. Although they all died in the name of the first sect, this Longyin Temple is much stronger than Linglong Pavilion, and it is estimated that in the entire Great Zhou, only the Daomen Qinglian Temple, which does not ask about the world, can be compared with it. It's a pity that Chu Qiuli obviously didn't grasp the point of Xu Han's question, or maybe he was idle alone for too long these days, so he opened his mouth and began to babble.
"What Demon Heaven Gate, Blood Knife Mountain, Burning Sky Valley, Falling Moon Gorge... Each one is enough to compete with our Linglong Pavilion, known as a sect of three doors and twelve towns, which is the sect of this Great Xia. ”
"This sect naturally refers to the Longyin Temple, and the three gates are the Demon Heaven Gate, the Extreme Gate, and the Chixiao Gate, let me tell you that there are only three major sects, and there are one or two immortals sitting on the bright side. ”
"Especially this Demon Heaven Gate, known as the number one evil sect in the world, and Chixiao Gate can be described as incompatible. It is said that a few days ago, an elder of the Demon Heaven Gate eloped with a female disciple of the Chixiao Gate, and this matter can make a lot of noise, while saying that it was your disciple who seduced my family elder, and on the other hand, it was said that your family elder forcibly kidnapped my disciple, and that it was so troublesome that the two sides almost fought, and in the end, it was..."
Seeing that Chu Qiuli's eyebrows were fluttering, and there was a tendency for him to talk all day by himself, Xu Han hurriedly interrupted him: "That, Brother Chu, let's talk about these interesting things later, you tell me first what the situation is in the Longyin Temple, can we find a way to get in?"
Chu Qiuli also seemed to be aware of his deviation, he pursed his lips, and pretended to say calmly: "This..."
"Could it be that Brother Chu has been here for half a year and hasn't figured out anything?" Xu Han still can't understand the meaning of this big man, with Chu's hatred, if he really knew something, I'm afraid he would have already told him at this time, so could he still be like this, and the words were unknown?
Xu Han suddenly felt a little big, and secretly said in his heart that he really shouldn't pin his hopes on this man.
"Xiao Han, what kind of eyes are you, do you think that someone Chu is only spending time drinking and not doing serious things these days?" Chu Qiuli seemed to feel something from Xu Han's gaze, and said loudly at that time.
It's just that the appearance is somewhat lacking, and there is a lack of confidence.
"Huh?" Xu Han only glanced at Chu Qiuli lightly when he heard this, and didn't say much.
Chu Qiuli, who was still menacing, suddenly lowered his head like an eggplant beaten by frost, and muttered in a low voice: "Even if it is, I have heard some news." ”
If the aggrieved appearance falls on a beauty like Ye Hongjian Fang Ziyu, it is a little bit of an angry little daughter-in-law's style, which will inevitably arouse the pity of others, but it falls on Chu Qiuli, a raunchy middle-aged man, but it makes people laugh.
Xu Han glanced at him and asked, "Then what kind of news are you talking about?"
"That's a lot..."Chu Qiuli, who heard this question, suddenly became interested, "Speaking of that Demon Heaven Gate elder..."
"Focus. Xu Han impatiently interrupted Chu Qiuli's mouth that had just begun.
"......" The excitement on Chu Qiuli's face suddenly vanished, and he looked at it for a long time before he cautiously asked: "The holy woman of the Falling Moon Gorge is in love with the abbot of the Zen sect of Longyin Temple..."
Of course, as before, this story was interrupted by Xu Han again at the beginning.
"So, you still haven't got anything, right?" asked Xu Han.
"......" The middle-aged man lowered his head and thought about it, and in the end, he could only nod sullenly and said, "Hmm..."
......
At the end of the night, Xu Han and his party finally arrived at their next stop, Huangsha Town, which was a hundred miles away from Moyan City.
The land of Liaozhou, located on the border, is barren and has little vegetation, and because of this, most of the land in Liaozhou was rewarded to various meritorious officials as a fief by the imperial court of Great Xia, and this Huangsha Town is said to be the fief of a marquis. However, this place is too barren, and the marquis only regards it as a kind of honor, and has rarely managed it until even taxes are exempted, which has created a lively scene of endless traders in Huangsha Town.
There were few people along the way, and when he arrived in Huangsha Town, Xu Han felt as if he had come to another world, where people came and went.
Although Xu Han sighed in his heart, he was not very interested in it, he was still thinking about how to get into the matter of Longyin Temple, leading everyone through the bustling city, and going to find an inn to rest.
Chu Qiuli hadn't found anything in the past six months, at least he figured out that every five years, in March of spring, Longyin Temple would open its mountain gate to recruit guests.
These guests were called sword bearers by Longyin Temple or by the rivers and lakes of Great Xia.
As the state religion of Great Xia, Longyin Temple is also the first sect recognized by the rivers and lakes of Great Xia, and has always been responsible for maintaining the stability of the rivers and lakes.
In return, these sword-wielding people can look at the classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Longyin Temple according to the level of cultivation and the amount of credit.
You must know that as the second best library in the world to Taiyin Palace, the classics in Longyin Temple contain almost half of the exercises in the world, and even many ancient secrets that everyone has never heard of can also be found in this scripture pavilion.
This is naturally a place that people from all over the world flock to, and at this time, monks from all over the world can be said to gather here, in order to join this organization called the Sword Bearer.
Xu Han calculated, next year's spring day is the beginning of this grand event, and they will have to pass through Liaolong Erzhou, with their footsteps, such a distance can only be reached in a little more than a month, but after all, they are not familiar with the place, Xu Han in order to ensure that it is most appropriate to hurry up in case, so Xu Han has no intention of stopping at the lively scene in Huangsha Town.
It's just that there are too many people coming and going on this street, as Liaozhou may even be the only city in Daxia that is exempt from taxes, the vendors in Huangsha Town are happy, and Xu Han and his party are a little struggling to walk among them.
Finally crossed the most prosperous street, came to the end of the street with fewer people, and was about to look for the inn, Xu Han suddenly found that the Xuan'er on his shoulder and the whine that followed him disappeared at some point.
"Hey, Fang is still here, why don't you know where you ran in a blink of an eye?" Chu Qiuli on the side was also a little stunned.
Xu Han frowned, and secretly said that these two guys did their best to cause trouble, although they were slanderous in their hearts, but Xu Han, who was worried about the safety of this wolf and cat, had to turn around and plunge into the crowded crowd again, to find the two naughty guys, Chu Qiuli couldn't say much when he saw this, so he could only hurry up.
The two of them didn't go far, they squatted in front of a small stall not far away, squatted and sat on the hand, Xuan'er squatted on the head of the whin, both of them stared at the direction where the vendor was, and the curiosity written in their eyes was as if they had found something amazing.
"You're really uncomfortable. Xu Han, who found the two "people", stepped forward and thought about educating them well, but before the words came out, he stopped.
"There are foxes in the west who have cultivated finely, with autumn in their eyes and spring in their mouths. ”
"Wandering in the world in human form, I happened to meet an immortal in Daomen. ”
I only heard a faint singing from the place where the vendor was, but I saw an old man who was over the age of sixteen sitting behind the curtain, lighting a candle, his hands were flying, and two shadow puppets were walking back and forth on the curtain, and with his soft singing, a story slowly came out of his mouth.
"The fox Taoist walked together, and the rivers and mountains were more than half of the three years. ”
"The green shirt Taoist is boyish, and the ignorant fox demon looks overwhelming. ”
"Accompanied by several years of affection, a month to make a lifelong decision. ”
The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't seem to be suitable for singing such a tune, but his tone was extremely strange, and he could always grasp everyone's heartstrings, and the shadow puppet in his hand was even more vivid, so that everyone couldn't help but integrate into his narration, so that Xu Han stood in this scene, and the visitors gathered in front of this small stall more and more.
At this time, the old man's tone suddenly became high-pitched.
"There is a storm in the south, and the charm is chaotic!"
The boy drew his sword and went, and the fox walked in the shadow. ”
"The evil trick is treacherous, and the life of the Taoist hangs in the balance. ”
"In order to save her sweetheart, the demon girl appeared in her true body. ”
"The world is chasing each other, and all the demons are gone!"
"The Taoist sword wants to be slashed, but he can't bear to drop his neck!"
"The fox is pregnant with Liujia and wants to return to the mountains and forests. ”
"I don't want people to be angry, but I am angry with the sky. ”
At this point, the old man suddenly stopped, and the noisy streets were quiet at that time, as if they were all waiting for the old man's next words, but the old man did not speak again for a long time.
"What's going on in the back of that?" asked the impatient spectator.
"Yes, what about the back? It's good to sing, and after singing, the master will give you a reward!"
"Yes, yes, sing faster. ”
With someone taking the lead, the crowd began to rush at that time.
The old man cleared his throat unhurriedly at that time, and then continued to sing.
"Millions of thunderbolts have arrived, and eight thousand immortals have come. ”
"The fox died with anger, and the young man took the sword and hidden. ”
"A hundred years of things in the world are all posthumous. ”
"The old man reverts to the loess, and the Taoist travels in frost and snow. ”
"Thousands of years in the snap of a finger, juvenile into a celestial. ”
"The lotus pond is born, and the immortals are induced. ”
The young man's eyes were cold, and he brushed his sleeves and retreated from the immortals. ”
"A sword stabs into the sky, just ask why it is not peaceful!"
