Chapter 11: Kneeling Temple

Qi Donglai sat on the wall, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said faintly after a long time, "Some people can only sing and sing small songs, play the huqin to please Miss Xiangjun, and they are worthy of fighting with me here, what is it, it is not all the way with Jiang Xiaobai." With that, Qi Donglai turned around and walked into his room, slamming the door shut.

Jiang Xiaobai focused on being his little wooden figure, and after half an hour, he installed all the parts of the little wooden figure and polished the surface, and then sat down and admired what he thought was a masterpiece on the table.

"Master Jiang, what's so nice about this little wooden man, you better have a cup of hot tea first. Saying that, Assyria handed the teacup to Jiang Xiaobai, who took the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Assyria, your tea-making skills are good, is it the taste of your hometown?"

"That's what my hometown tastes like. ”

Jiang Xiaobai grinned, this Assyria is good, you can let him do more housework in the future, how can he not eat and drink for nothing.

"Assyria, what are your plans for the future, you really want to stay with me for a long time. ”

Assyria's eyes were a little evasive, and he was also a little lost, "What else can I plan, find a way to enter the Divine Machine Gate to study." Master Jiang, what is this Qi Dong, saying something bad all day long, I think only you can endure this kid's cold words. ”

"Assyria, people live, a few spitting stars can't bear it, in this small town people scold you a few words, you are anxious with others, then you can hang yourself with a noodle. Besides, that Qi Donglai is also a poor person, and the brother and sister are also few caring people in this Sun Town, why should you be like him. ”

"What the master said is, for example, that I just spent all my money in the sauce purple, and I haven't been looked down upon by many people, and I also said that I am a fake prince, and besides, if you go and pretend to be a prince, you can still fake the dish after clearing the customs. If I am like Qi Donglai now, wouldn't I lose my worth. Assyria seemed to have been told sad things by Jiang Xiaobai, and his mouth was full of grievances.

"Stop, stop, I'm not listening to anyone crying, tomorrow we'll see if that kid Xie Shishi will dig ginseng, and you kid will follow him to see if you can earn some tuition." ”

In the courtyard next door, the delicate girl in a light-colored dress heard the conversation between Jiang Xiaobai and the two, as if she had touched her heart, and tears fell down her cheeks like dew drops on lotus leaves.

Although the girl was in tears, she didn't cry in the end, stood in the courtyard for a long time, and looked back at Qi Donglai's room, the door was closed, and she could only hear the faint sound of reading inside.

The girl standing in the courtyard seemed to have made up her mind, opened the courtyard gate, carefully closed the courtyard gate again, and then walked in the direction of the west gate, and the steps were so big that the girl almost fell several times.

On the bank of the Duck River outside the west gate of the town, today is a lively scene. Although there was no sunlight in the afternoon, and the fog was still over the town, in the barren clearing by the Duck River, there was a group of people building and building, digging foundations, and driving wooden stakes, while a dozen and a half boys were rolling iron hoops, jumping sandbags, and playing their familiar games in the open space.

Sun Town is not very good, and this afternoon there was news in the town that surprised the people of the town. It is said that there is a large family in Qingyun Lane, the son of a large family, who returned from a 12-year study tour in Hanshan College, in order to repay the township and benefit the people, he plans to build a township school on the bank of the Duck River in the west of the city to teach the children of the town to read and learn words for free. This is a good thing for the people of the town, this is not just the beginning of the foundation, the inside and the outside three layers are full of lively villagers.

The four major families were not far behind in this good thing that benefited their neighbors, and immediately declared that they would contribute money and efforts to build the township school as soon as possible, and the people of the small town were of course happy to see it happen.

The girl Qi Dongying stood silently in the crowd, as if the excitement in front of her had nothing to do with her, she looked at all this happening in front of her, her face showed a slight sarcasm, but it flashed away in the corner of her eye. On the construction site, a tall young man in a Confucian robe is directing the craftsmen to ram the earth, sweating like rain.

"Is it still doing such useless work, this side of the world, a broken township school can still be imprisoned, it's really whimsical. Hey, these scholars are really stupid to read!" The girl shook her head, and was about to leave, when she suddenly raised her head and met the eyes of the young Confucian scholars, and the girl raised her head proudly and met the gaze, without dodging.

The young Confucian seemed to be busy, bowing his head and pointing at the operations of the craftsmen, not taking her seriously. The girl seemed to be a little lost, turned around and walked to the ferry, and bent slightly to the old man Yan who was smoking a dry tobacco pouch.

"Grandpa Yan, I want to cross the river, is it okay?" The voice was soft and waxy, like the chirping of insects.

Uncle Yan put the dry tobacco bag under the sole of his shoe and knocked it a few times, stood up, jumped on the boat, and held the boat pulp. smiled and said, "Miss Qi get on the boat, it's getting late, and the girl has to go out, so you have to be careful." ”

The girl jumped on the boat, but her eyes were fixed in the direction of Nuwa Niangniang Temple, "Then thank you grandpa, I'll go to Niang Niang Temple to make a wish, it's okay." ”

Old man Yan is just paddling, decades of life in the town, he also knows some secret things, he asks what he should ask, and the other party who shouldn't ask doesn't say, and he doesn't bother to ask.

When the girl came ashore from the boat, she didn't forget to bow to Old Man Yan, say thank you, and walked towards the direction of Nuwa Niangniangniang Temple with her unsteady steps.

When she walked into the bluestone road with ginkgo trees on both sides of the temple, it was rare for countless colorful clouds to appear above the temple, floating in the sky like flying flotsam.

Every time the girl took a step forward, it was very difficult, but she was determined to continue to walk, and there seemed to be layers of ripples in the air that hindered her path, and in the air fluctuations, the girl could no longer take a step.

She was terrified, her legs involuntarily knelt down, facing the direction of the gate of the Niangniang Temple, crying: "The slave has been practicing here for three thousand years, and the reincarnation of the fetus has been more than 200 generations. ”

Saying that, the girl kowtowed on the bluestone slab, and it didn't take long for the blood on her forehead to flow like an infusion, and the blood dripped from her forehead, quickly soaking into the bluestone cracks, turning into lotus flowers, and instantly solidifying on the bluestone slab.

"Beast, you dare to use the blood lotus to destroy the path of reincarnation of the Great Dao. In the void, the Taoist priest descended from the sky, with a wave of dust in his hand, the bluestone slab recovered as before, smooth as a mirror, and the little blood stains dissipated invisible.

"The slave and maid have seen the Taoist, and the Taoist is looking at the slave and maid for the sake of the slave and maid who have been practicing here for 3,000 years, and let the slave and maid have a way to live, so that the slave and the maid can return to the fairy road, so that they can serve Nuwa Niangniang. ”

"Duplicity, do you know that this avenue of immortal reincarnation was made by Nuwa Niangniang's painstaking efforts for three thousand years with the soul of the star stone, and you actually used the blood lotus flower to deliberately destroy it, almost making it dusty, if you let Nuwa Niangniang know, you don't even have the qualifications to return to the heavenly way. ”

Yin Lu looked at the weak girl, sighed again and again, and the dust was blown in the air.

"That's it, that's it, let you go this time, go back!"

The girl Dongying suddenly felt that the pressure was relaxed, her body was able to move as usual, and the ripples around her body also dissipated invisibly. But instead of getting up, she knelt on the ground, unwilling to leave.

"What, do you want to send you back to Luoguo Lane in person?" The young Taoist priest turned around, looking like he was about to enter the temple gate, and ignored him.

"Dao Chief, please stay, the slaves and maids have something to ask for, and please listen to the Dao Chief, who is interested in the fate of the Dao of the Initiate. ”

Yin Lu stopped, glanced at the girl kneeling on the ground, and shook his head, "Say, what else do you have to do, I'm just guarding the Nuwa Niangniang Temple here, and I can't do anything if the requirements are too high." ”

"Dao Chief, I have been practicing here for three thousand years, and when Yuan Zun sealed me here, is it true that all the fault lies with the slave maid? Spending so much effort to make the Dao Gate collapse, the Divine Race fell, but was taken advantage of by the Western Bliss Sect, many of my immortal masters and Taoist friends have lost interest in the Dao of Common Evidence since then, isn't Yuan Zun responsible? These three thousand years of lies should also be exposed to the world!"

"Hey, as long as there is a way in your heart, you can expect a way. Isn't the girl here preaching for 3,000 years?" The young Taoist priest sighed, and then said: "There is no trace of the Yuan Zun, and the legend has it that he flew up to the ethereal sky and sat down with the Buddha of the Western Heaven to discuss the Tao. It's a pity that since then, the Daomen has fallen apart, and the branch of the poor Dao is also a withered talent, so the master sent me down the mountain to rebuild the mountain gate. ”

"Since the Taoist knows the deep meaning of it, why bother to wade into this troubled water, I don't know how many immortal families will fight for this immortal magic weapon and die here, why not do a carefree Taoist cultivation. If so, the little woman is willing to help the Taoist elder and think about it. After the girl finished speaking, she looked up at the young Taoist priest with firm eyes, the blood-red silk thread in the corner of her eyes was charming, and her face was glowing with a little color, a little delicate, and more of a sultry ecstasy.

"Hahaha, even if the Dao Gate collapses, Poor is willing to rebuild the Dao with his own strength. Girl, please go back, as for the seven days later, whether to leave or stay, girl, please do it, Poor Dao is willing to do his best to protect the common people in this cave, and no one will be allowed to do anything wrong here. The young Taoist priest swept the dust with his hand, his eyes firm.

The girl still knelt on the bluestone slab, reluctant to get up, looking at the tall figure of the young Taoist priest, she didn't feel a little fascinated.

"The slave and maid practiced here for three thousand years, because of the curse of the seal, never lived to be sixteen years old, the little girl was either insulted by robbers and died, or was struck by lightning, or tortured to death by her stepmother, in this life with the narrow-minded prince of Qi as a brother and sister, accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world. So I implore the Taoist to break the seal for me, even if I can't return to the fairy gate, the little woman is willing to do so, and not be cursed by that life. ”

Saying that, the girl kept kowtowing, as if the Taoist chief would not stop if she did not agree.

"Well, go back, I'll figure it out for you. Remember, don't regenerate evil thoughts, it's not easy for you, all things have spirits, and the poor way will send you back to the immortal path. ”
