According to the immortal book "Mountains and Seas", Tongye Continent is full of mountain gods and spirits, and this is indeed the case.

Even if Chen Ping'an has deliberately bypassed those aura-filled landscapes and rivers most of the time, or the filthy and dangerous realms that are fearful, sometimes he will still catch the way, for example, Chen Ping'an saw a small town with brilliant lights in the middle of the night, Chen Ping'an did not have a map in his hand, thinking that he needed to supply food, so he followed the lights all the way, because the map has always been a forbidden thing of the dynasty and the state, and it is more strictly controlled than weapons.

There is no night ban in that small city, but there are city gate guards to check the customs clearance documents, and when Chen Ping'an successfully entered the city, he found an inn that has not yet closed to stay, but the shopkeeper shook his head and waved his hand, saying that Chen Ping'an gave the wrong money, they don't accept it here, each country has its own standard copper money, which is normal, but even real money and silver are not collected, it is a little weird, fortunately, the shopkeeper pointed the way, saying that there is a place where you can convert gold and silver into their money, and then come to the inn to stay after the exchange.

So Chen Ping'an found a shop, the counter is extremely high, almost one and a half high, Chen Ping'an followed the customs, stepped on a small bench, said that it was in exchange for money, gave a few silver ingots, in exchange for a bunch of Tongbao copper coins and a stack of banknotes, the copper coins are heavy, full of color, on the banknotes, Chen Ping'an saw that there are the imperial court and Yinzhuang Zhuyin on the top, he didn't think much about it, returned to the inn, handed over the money, and showed the customs clearance documents, and the shopkeeper meticulously recorded it in the case for the local yamen household officials to inquire.

The next day, Chen Ping'an was ready to go out, and the shopkeeper was still planning over there, smiling and reminding Chen Ping'an that there was a folk custom here, chatting with people, and not saying the word "paper" on a piece of paper, such as talking on paper and a piece of paper would never be able to say, otherwise he would be out of the city, no wonder he didn't remind him.

Chen Ping'an remembered in his heart, after thanking him, he went to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt and two sets of clothes, when he came back to eat at the inn, he only felt that the food was bland and tasteless, and then left the town, after walking out of dozens of miles, the outline of the city could be vaguely seen, and when he encountered a sudden heavy rain, Chen Ping'an stood on a mountain and dilapidated pavilion to hide from the rain, and had nothing to do, and slowly walked the pile to practice boxing, but saw an amazing scene, the city in the distance at the foot of the mountain, like a puddle of mud, melted in the heavy rain.

Chen Ping'an hurriedly took out the things he had bought in the small town, as well as the copper coins and banknotes, and his scalp suddenly went numb.

It was all cut out of white paper, just like a living person burning paper in the sun to a dead person.

As if amused by Chen Ping'an's embarrassment, someone sneered and laughed inside the walls of the pavilion, and their voices echoed through the walls in the pavilion.

Chen Ping'an was just surprised by the strangeness of the small town before, but he was not really afraid of these gods and monsters, so when someone in the mountain pavilion pretended to be a ghost, Chen Ping'an quickly eased up, just sat on a bench made of old wood in the deep mountains, looked at the miserable white wall opposite, and drank silently.

Unless you are extremely unlucky and meet a mountain demon or a demon giant who is good at disguise, most of you are a shallow person. It's not difficult for that thing to scare ordinary people, and it's not difficult for Chen Ping'an to slap it to death.

The one who didn't know that he had hit the iron plate, so he made a fool of himself, and his voice pretended to be even more gloomy, "You're not afraid of me?"

Chen Ping'an didn't hold the sword on his waist, stood up, slowly walked to the wall, snapped, and directly pasted a pagoda town demon talisman on it, and a crying begging for mercy immediately sounded inside, which seemed to be slightly childish, Chen Ping'an didn't take off the yellow rune paper, and asked with a smile: "Do you say I'm afraid?"

The guy shouted, "I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm about to come back to life!"

"Come out, hide and hide, I'm really going to be polite to you, tell me what the hell is going on in that town. ”

Chen Ping'an took off the demon suppression talisman, put it in his sleeve, and sat back in his original position.

Out of the wall out of a palpitating young boy, in front of and behind are embroidered with a piece of official complement, but not like the secular court colorful, only black and white, he cowered and stood at the base of the wall, looking at the fairy lord sitting opposite, not only bowed, but also sang strangely, self-declared identity, it turned out to be a land lord of the former dynasty, after changing the emperor and the surname of the country, he was automatically classified into the list of old ministers, without the official body, the already meager Taoism, more and more humble.

He was the beloved young son of a feudal official, and before the first seven days of his death, a wandering fairy passed by, so he entered the mourning hall to help his father operate, and he became a land lord who did not enter the rank, and the incense was quite prosperous, in order to let him shelter the feng shui of the ancestral tomb of the family, and then the mountains and rivers changed color, and everything became a passing cloud.

Looking back, the matter is not big, but quite interesting, Chen Ping'an asked the prince of the land without the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and asked more about the origin of the paper man town, it turned out that more than 10,000 residents of the town died overnight in a huge man-made disaster that seemed to be a natural disaster, the imperial court in order to prevent people from panicking, ordered the surrounding states and counties to block the news, and also invited Buddhist monks to come and do a ritual, so that it did not evolve into a dangerous and evil place.

Chen Ping'an asked what to do with the town after the rainstorm, and the boy smiled and said that it didn't matter, as long as the weather was fine for a few days, it would return to its original state.

Chen Ping'an squatted on the ground, facing the town, and burned the paper money and paper clothes in the pavilion.

The boy squatted aside and sighed: "This fairy lord never thought that he was still a good person. ”

Chen Ping'an laughed.

By the way, I asked the boy about the situation of the mountains and rivers within a radius of thousands of miles, whether there was a fairy family or a ferry, and the boy answered one by one, and there was no hiding.

It says that there are about 800 miles to the north, and there are indeed demons who are haunting the mountains. It is not often to do the deeds of the robbers and mountain people, the mountains and mountains are quite stable, there are few rumors of the people suffering, at the peak of the momentum, many mountain qi practitioners have to detour, but then suffered an accident, then fell silent, I heard that there are only three or two kittens and dogs, and it is not a climate. What is the truth, it's hard to say, there are all kinds of rumors outside, some say that it is the immortal master of the Fu Ping Sect who feels that it is an eyesore, and some say that it is the Buddhist practitioner who settled over there, and there are goblins who do not have long eyes, which provokes the anger of the Buddhist master King Kong, so there is this catastrophe.

Chen Ping'an was slightly surprised, when he was in Dali, the mountain road where the ghost of the wedding dress appeared, made Chen Ping'an difficult to let go.

There are some dead branches in the pavilion, with the help of the boy, gathered together, lit the fire, one person and one monster, squatting by the bonfire.

Although the boy looked at his immature face, he had actually survived for five hundred years, so he explained the reason to Chen Ping'an, "The reason why the demon on that mountain will rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest." In addition to the relatively mild temper of the mountain king, there are also many violent people under his command, of course, there is no bodhisattva heart, but the division of one side, the most afraid of the reputation of the stinker, let people talk about the color change, ten hundred hundred and thousand, in case of provoking the children of the fairy family who have enough to eat and support nothing to do, coveting the worldly reputation of slaying demons and demons, how is it good?"

Chen Ping'an nodded.

The boy put his palms close to the fire, and said with a smile: "To kill or not to kill?" Kill the small one, the big one, and the big one, and then the old one." Even if you have the ability to kill two and one pair, and kill all three, they will all be killed, and the local government will report to the court, and the emperor will feel that he has lost face, so he will go and ask the immortal master to come out of the mountain?"

The boy said helplessly: "It's the most annoying." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, it would have been a mess of porridge a long time ago, how can the people under the mountain still live, just say that in that town, more than 10,000 people died, what would their relatives and friends in the countryside think? Overnight, everyone is gone, and the living people will also be afraid." ”

The boy was stunned, and never seemed to have thought about this question.

The boy in the back told some anecdotes about the neighborhood, mostly from his hearsay, after all, hundreds of years have passed, and he has to find some fun to pass the time.

After the heavy rain stopped, Chen Ping'an said goodbye to this small land announcement and continued to hurry.

Only the boy was left standing outside the pavilion muttering to himself.

During Chen Ping'an, he also passed by a barren mound, and a group of Hanshi scholars who had entered Beijing to take the exam stood in front of a large tomb, showing a look of shame and amazement.

Then I saw two snow-white foxes emerging from between the tombs, and the scholars were doing it.

There were also a few young foxes, lying on the tomb, snickering and laughing, their eyebrows and eyes were full of longing and shyness, not at all like a vicious demon, but like a greedy child.

Those who read returned the salute one after another.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's amusement for a while, he knew that it must be the fox demon who was bewitching people's hearts, but Chen Ping'an didn't have too much worry, the fox demons in the world, no matter which continent, often do not act brutally, they have been born close to the human race since ancient times, and more to break through the love barrier, improve the realm and cultivation.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an did not expose it on the spot, and let those scholars discover that the so-called Gaomen Huawu in front of them was actually just a tomb.

Chen Ping'an just quietly guarded the grave.

Sure enough, the next day, those scholars left the mansion of the wealthy family safely, and everyone was overjoyed, only feeling that it was a good affair, and their lives were in vain.

Chen Ping'an smiled and left.

Three hundred miles later, Chen Ping'an arrived at a small country called the Northern Jin Dynasty, passing by a city, just happened to run into the bazaar, Chen Ping'an really bought two strings of sugar gourds, I heard that the Northern Jin Dynasty was very famous, there was a big stone, according to legend, one of the Bodhisattva's enlightenment addresses, known as the Stone Lotus Terrace, the boulder is wide and five zhang, can accommodate hundreds of people. One person can make it shake, and no one can explain the principle. The emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty toured the west, and after trying it in person, Longyan was happy, making the temple famous.

But when Chen Ping'an asked several people, everyone said that they didn't know what to do if they went to the temple, Chen Ping'an remembered that when the boy talked about it, it should have happened two hundred years ago, and two hundred years in the world is enough to change many customs.

Chen Ping'an hesitated, but persevered, until he asked someone about the ruins of the temple, he went to a trip, the grass was overgrown, there was neither popularity nor demonic energy, the twilight was gloomy, in the sunset, Chen Ping'an found a boulder, and he couldn't see anything strange.

Chen Ping'an finished eating the last sugar gourd, threw away the bamboo stick, and turned to leave.

After Chen Ping'an walked out of the dilapidated gate of Rugo Temple, on the top of the boulder, a small person probed his brain and emerged from the stone.

It sat on a stone and was silent.

It turns out that the truth that this lotus platform will shake is because it gave birth to a "little lotus man" with the charm of earth and stone, it likes to hide and giggle, every time someone tries to shake the boulder, it is immediately full of interest, swaying left and right, and the boulder will shake with it, so people misunderstand.

It's just one day, it feels a little boring, the shaking of the stone lotus platform begins to "sometimes do not work", and finally completely "does not move like a mountain", it turns out that it left the stone lotus platform, wants to go to a distant place to find a companion, year after year alone, it feels lonely.

In the end, it found two partners one after another, a snake spirit, a roe deer spirit, and a little lotus man with a pure heart, and they were deceived by them into taking away a small arm of "cloud roots and earth spirits" and a yellow lotus leaf. But it always insists on finding a partner. Eventually, it found a flower spirit that didn't ask it for anything, and it took her back to Shiliantai to play with them and tease the tourists together, but in the end, when it woke up from sleep one day, it found that the aura of Shiliantai was gone, there was nothing left, and the flower essence was gone.

The stone lotus platform, which had lost its spirituality, was once again ignored, and finally completely forgotten, leaving only a one-armed little spirit who often sat on the edge of the stone platform, humming folk songs and gently shaking his feet.

It occasionally feels a little sad because it doesn't know if those three partners are doing well now.

If they're having a bad time, why don't you come and see yourself, it will comfort them.

If they're doing well, why don't they come to see themselves, they'll be happy for them.

It couldn't figure it out.

The little one suddenly turned his head and saw the stranger in a snow-white robe, sitting on the other side of the stone, drinking to the sunset.

Spotting his gaze, he smiled at it.

Frightened, the little guy hurriedly got up, jumped, and his body sank directly into the boulder.

Chen Ping'an laughed, jumped off the stone, and really left this Rugo Temple, no longer teasing that little spirit.

The little guy hid in the stone for a long time before he dared to sneak out, and after looking around to make sure that the man was no longer there, he came to the place where the man was sitting, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he found a coin with a haunting aura.

The spirits of the world, most of them like the fairy money on the mountain, and feed on it.

Putting down a snowflake money, Chen Ping'an is just a casual move.

But when Chen Ping'an left the city, walked out of the official road, and just entered the mountain, he found that in front of the path, there was a teary-eyed little thing standing, holding the snowflake money in both hands, looking at Chen Ping'an, the little thing seemed to be both apprehensive and happy.

Chen Ping'an walked over slowly, the little guy was timid by nature, and disappeared on the road in an instant, so he repeated it several times, and the little guy followed Chen Ping'an for nearly 100 miles of mountain roads.

Chen Ping'an didn't take the initiative to approach it, and followed him from not far away.

One big and one small go together.

When Chen Ping'an was about to walk out of the mountain boundary, he met a little goblin who seemed to be crazy, ragged, staggering, and muttering a sad sentence repeatedly: "How to become a Buddha with such a heart, how to become a Buddha, how to become a Buddha......

Frightened, the little guy didn't care about anything, ran all the way, and hid at Chen Ping'an's feet.

After that, the little guy was completely unguarded, either jumping around Chen Ping'an, or squatting on Chen Ping'an's shoulder.

Later, Chen Ping'an took this new partner who couldn't speak, passed through a country where there was constant war, and the lives were devastated, forcing a group of heroes to fall into the grass and occupy the mountains as kings, and set up a big banner.

Chen Ping'an heard all the way that the heroic deeds of these 36 heroes were heroic and superb, and they were so heroic and superb in martial arts that they were able to pull mountains and rivers one by one. Chen Ping'an naturally didn't believe it all, but he also thought that if he had the opportunity, he would go to that mountain to take a look and see the heroes, even if people might not be willing to drink at the same table with him, it would be good to be chivalrous from afar.

As a result, Chen Ping'an went to see a black shop selling human meat buns, Chen Ping'an saw that several foot merchants fainted, so he also pretended to be unconscious, tied people to the back of the shop, and threw them on the large long pork board, and then some shop guys carried boning knives and yawned towards them.

In a nearby state city, the executioner was about to execute a big Kou, and dozens of people robbed the law field, especially a big man, armed with a double axe, slashed all the way over, killing up, laughing, whether it was watching the lively people, or officers and soldiers, all of them were cut in half by a board of axes.

There was a swarthy man with a short figure who taught him a lesson, and then he stopped stupidly, frowning and smiling, and lost the slightest bit of anger.

The swarthy man glanced at the strong man and waved him away, and the man looked around, his face full of exhaustion, but more relieved and happy.

Fang just reprimanded the strong man with the axe, and he said it sharply, but at this moment, looking at the back of this henchman, he smiled at the corner of his eyes.

This group of people successfully saved people in the law field, prepared their horses early not far away, galloped wildly, and quickly left the chaotic state city.

The officers and soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to pursue them.

When everyone turned over and dismounted, they were in high spirits, and walked into their shops one after another in laughter, only to find that there was no familiar couple in the shop, only a young man in white, and a long sword was placed on the wine table in front of him.

The sword is full of energy.

However, as soon as the incense was burned, Chen Ping'an left the shop.

In the shop behind him, some people are dead and some are alive, all of them are heroes in the eyes of the world, and it is true that almost everyone dies unambiguously, and when they die, they are still heroic.

However, the group of people who survived, most of them were silent from beginning to end, or took the initiative to stop when they were a little injured, they did not speak wildly, and there was not much meaning of revenge in their eyes. On the contrary, there is a kind of confusion, as if to say, life is already like this, and it can only be like this.

Chen Ping'an doesn't care about this.

Leaving the shop, he found that the horses on the side of the road were piled up, and after thinking about it, Chen Ping'an led a tall horse from the side of the road, turned over and got on the horse, and it was a matter of course, very skillful.

First it was swaying, and then it was the rivers and lakes.
