Six years.

One afternoon in the middle of summer, the sun was scorching, the heat was steaming, and through the distorted heat, the Youmu River was crowded with people. In the lively room, there are peasant women in raccoon clothes, children swimming to escape the heat, old men fishing under trees, and a monk drawing water by the river.

The monk who draws water is called Shuzhen, is a miscellaneous monk of the Half Moon Temple, was taken in by the temple six years ago, and then shaved his home, and since then he will come to the river every day to draw water.

The Half Moon Temple was rebuilt on the site of the mountain temple that had been smashed at the time, and the mayors of several towns called on many people, as well as many people who had seen the Bodhisattva's apparitions and volunteered to help, to build a Half Moon Temple that was three times the size of the previous mountain temple.

The three main halls in the temple are all based on the painstaking guidance of a traveling monk who passed by at that time, and the golden statue of the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform is enshrined in the center of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Guanyin are standing on both sides. After the completion of the construction of the Half Moon Temple, this monk was also left by everyone and became the host, and then gradually accepted many disciples, and the Half Moon Temple gradually became more and more prosperous.

Shu Zhen, who has nine ring scars on his head, carries a full bucket, passing by Lao Suo, only to see that the fishing rod in Lao Suo's hand is pulling upward, and a river fish will rise out of the water in response, coming towards Lao Suo, Lao Suo took the river fish about the length of his small arm, looked at it, showed a smile, and then took off the hook in the fish's mouth, threw the river fish back into the river, and continued to fish, until now, the half-entered bamboo basket is still empty. Shu Zhen, who was passing by, shouldered a flat shoulder, folded his hands and said to Lao Suo: "Amitabha!" Lao Suo laughed.

After several towns around Crouching Tiger Mountain were ravaged by New Year beasts, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, every household would set off firecrackers to disperse the year beasts that meant bad luck, and it slowly became a New Year tradition. It also took a lot of effort to rebuild the town, and Xiaweicheng also sent people to assist in the reconstruction of the town afterwards, although it was a drop in the bucket, but it was better than nothing.

However, when people came to Xiawei City, the Seven Star Village on Crouching Tiger Mountain was also quietly changed to the "Seven Star Dart Bureau", and the three masters Pi Yixia also went to the official mansion of Xia Wei City to get an approval, and the Seven Star Dart Bureau suddenly became justified, so the brothers in the village no longer call themselves bandits, and they call each other dart masters and dart heads.

Today's Seven Star Dart Bureau still undertakes the security work of the surrounding towns, as usual, half a month to go to the town to collect a New Year's money, and the towns have no objections, after all, relying on the Seven Star Dart Bureau to drive away a lot of lawbreakers, the surrounding area can also have a peaceful life.

There are now more than 500 people in the dart bureau, and the escort work has gone as far as the other side of Luoxia Continent. In the past few years, the Seven Star Dart Bureau has relied on the accumulated reputation, so that many squires and wealthy people in the town and city are willing to let the Seven Star Dart Bureau carry their goods, even if their harvest is still higher.

On Crouching Tiger Mountain, the plaque of "Seven Star Village" has been replaced with "Seven Star Dart Bureau", even the wooden fence at the door of the Dart Bureau has been removed, the blue brick and stone wall has been repaired, and the two mighty and tall stone lions at the door are still sent up the mountain by several towns around the day before the opening of the Dart Bureau, which can give enough face to the Oriental Jade.

At this moment, the sun was high, but a half-grown boy appeared at the door of the dart game, carrying a bamboo basket, and was turning around and shouting to someone: "I'll be back in a while!"

The young man is slightly immature, with a pair of eyes like a spring in summer, with frosty eyebrows, thin cheeks, a nose bridge like green mountains, and red lips and white teeth, a handsome young man.

Lu Cong, who is already twelve years old, is wearing a coarse linen cool shirt, wearing a silver sheath short knife around his waist, his complexion is slightly white, and his body is a little thin.

Lu Cong went out this time to go to the Buffalo Mountain to pick the golden bell fruit, this fruit ripens in this midsummer every year, and Wu Niang likes it very much. Since Lu Cong heard a mountain farmer say two years ago: Only Buffalo Mountain has the golden bell fruit in the surrounding area. In the future, Lu Cong will pick some back every year to relieve Wu Niang's cravings. Buffalo Mountain also belongs to one of the peaks of Wohu Mountain, but it is far away, and it will take an hour to go with Lu Cong's current foot strength.

Halfway through, Lu Cong couldn't stand the heat, jumped directly into a clear pool, soaked comfortably in it for a while, from the soles of his feet to the pores of the Tianling cover were relaxed for a while, and then he got up again, letting the clothes stick to his body, and the spring water in his pocket flowed downstream.

There is a path in this mountain, which is still a shortcut found by Lu Cong himself, but the mountain road is a little steeper. Lu Cong was athletic, and he was still flying fast in the mountains, bringing the sound of the wind, and after a while, the coarse cloth coolshirt on his body was already dry, and he was getting closer and closer to the Buffalo Mountain.

Shui Xuanzong, a young man dressed in a turquoise water cloud robe, with a white jade crown and bundled hair, a tall posture, sharp sword eyebrows, and a pair of eyes like the moon in a well, dignified and psychedelic walked out of the library pavilion.

Lu Xiao is holding two books in his hand, but they are all classics in the world, and the contribution to the sect that Ji Yun sends to him every month is always no more than two days, and then it is gone, and then he has to borrow some classics in the world to see, those old Zhuang Confucius and Meng, they have seen seventy-seven eighty-eight in the past few years, and now they are in their hands that Han Feizhi said.

Although Lu Xiao's current realm is only the second realm of the human realm, he is not fast or slow in cultivation, but he has read a lot of classics in the world, and he is a little interested in the beautiful places in the world.

Lu Xiao was very happy today, and he didn't care that the disciples outside looked at him and pointed:

"This is the patriarch brother?"

"Shh

"What are you afraid of, we are already earth immortals, and he is only a human realm, and he can't beat us!"

"After all, he has a high seniority! let him hear it, and if he can't say it, he will put on small shoes for you!"

"Cut! I'm not afraid! That is, if I am lucky, I will be reincarnated as an ancestor!"

"Don't say it! He's coming!

“。。。 ”

Lu Xiao would hear these similar words every day, and at first, he was still a little annoyed in his heart, but as time went by, he was a little older, and he read more books, so he didn't care anymore.

In the morning, beside the ancestral hall, Ji Yun gave Lu Xiao a green lotus, although it is just an ordinary magic weapon, but the mana of the human realm is enough to control, and it can be used as a means of transportation, Lu Xiao took the opportunity to say to Ji Yun: "Senior brother in charge, I don't know if I can go down the mountain and go home?"

Ji Yun thought about it, nodded, and called Elder Xiluo, who was originally going down the mountain, and said, "Xiluo, please go to Luoxia Continent with Senior Brother Lu, and when Senior Brother Lu is done, go to Fu Mishan to take a look, the output of spiritual gold seems to be a little abnormal recently, and I don't see the news coming back, you go and investigate." ”

"Yes!" replied Elder Xiluo with a blank face.

Stay until noon, Xiluo and Lu Xiao converge at the mountain gate, Xiluo's driving and riding device is a plum blossom spirit branch, it is said that Xiluo was obtained when he was looking for a spirit in a dream, and when he woke up, this plum blossom spirit branch was lying quietly beside him, extremely strange, even Ji Yun said that Xiluo was blessed to the heart, and heaven and earth favored him.

Lu Xiao sat on the plum blossom spirit branch with Xiluo, and Xiluo immediately asked with a cold face, "Where are you going?"

Lu Xiao immediately replied: "Xiadi Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Xiawei City. ”

Before Lu Xiao could sit down, Xiluo harnessed the plum blossom spirit branch and galloped away.

Lu Xiao sat at a staggered tree trunk at the end of the plum blossom spirit branch, and Xiluo was standing at the forefront, his clothes fluttering, and his body was blue and flowing in a water cloud robe, rippling blue waves. With the slim posture of the stream, the eyebrows are like willow leaves covered with frost, the eyes are like the pearls of the South China Sea, crystal bright, the delicate nose, the thin lips are slightly red, although the chin is speechless, the figure is graceful in the wind, just like the fairy in the world.

An hour later, the plum blossom spirit branch fell in the courtyard of Changshuxuan, and the stream left first, leaving Lu Xiao with a happy face, looking around at this familiar place.

The courtyard door behind Lu Xiao suddenly opened, and Zhou Shu, who came in, looked vigilant, looked at Lu Xiao, who was dressed like an immortal, and asked, "You... Who are you?"

"What's the matter?" Li Xinting was also coming from the backyard, looking at Lu Xiao, he suddenly realized something, and asked tentatively, "Could it be Lu Xiao?"

Lu Xiao smiled and nodded, and before Li Xinting was so excited that he was about to ask, Lu Xiao then asked, "Where is Xiao Cong?"

"This... Li Xinting suddenly whispered.

Lu Xiao looked puzzled, looked around and saw that there were no children in the school room at this time, and suddenly a trace of ominous premonition came up.

Lu Xiao had to ask Li Xinting: "Where did Xiao Cong go?"

Li Xinting's face was embarrassed, but Zhou Shu pulled Lu Xiao's sleeve from behind, and shouted a little hideously: "Your younger brother ran away by himself, and now you are here to ask for someone, what is the matter?"

"Ran away?" Lu Xiao suddenly became impatient.

"yes, just ran. Zhou Shu's tone was even more vicious, lest Lu Xiao see something: "That night for some reason, when we got up the next day, he disappeared and took everything away!"

"Why did Xiao Cong leave? Didn't my father and second uncle come back?" Lu Xiao looked at Zhou Shu, although the evil woman on Zhou Shu's face was disgusting now.

"Yo, don't you know, your father and your second uncle are dead!" Zhou Shu said again, ignoring Li Xinting's expression on the other side.

"Dead? No wonder!" Lu Xiao looked tired, remembering the ominous premonition that he had for no reason at that time, and it was really something.

Lu Xiao was a little depressed, Li Xinting was about to step forward to ask something, but Zhou Shu pulled him down, and Li Xinting had no choice but to watch Lu Xiao walk out of Changshuxuan's courtyard step by step.

Heavenly Court, Da Luo Tian.

Emperor Haotian sat on the throne of Xuanjing, the divine ring behind his head was shining, his face was majestic, the jade crown of the Nine Xuantian Baoluo was in front of his forehead, the bead curtain shook gently, and a god general holding the pagoda under the seat bowed down and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what is the matter with summoning Weichen here?"

Emperor Haotian tapped his fingers on the throne and said slowly: "King Li, the thousand-year period is coming again, you can go to the ghost domain for me!"

Li Jing immediately received the order, and the pagoda was held up in front of his forehead and said to Emperor Haotian: "Obey the order, Weichen will set off immediately!"

Li Jing was about to retreat, when Emperor Haotian suddenly asked, "Does King Li Tianwang want to take the third prince of Nezha with him?"

Li Jing bowed, the pagoda blocked his face, Emperor Haotian couldn't see his expression clearly for a while, only to hear Li Jing reply: "Such a trivial matter, why do you need Weichen's father and son to go together, please rest assured, Weichen will not dishonor the holy order!"

"In that case, then you go!"

Emperor Haotian looked at Li Jing's departing back, his eyes were dark, and he thought: Who else could it be?
