The sound of an explosion somewhere in the city alarmed the city of Shule, and the people in the streets raised their heads and looked into the distance beyond the eaves. The ladies hurriedly ran to the yard to collect their clothes, and also looked up at the sky.

"How can there be thunder on a sunny day?"

Li Siye bent down and reached out to stroke the black mane, so that it could recover from the shock as soon as possible. He looked up at Zhao Daochang, who was standing in the courtyard like a chicken, and said as if sighing: "The movement is too big to be tested in the city, so I will do it in the temple in the future, and find a test site on the Gobi Desert." ”

Zhao Zheng sat down on the ground with a puff, and muttered: "No wonder I want to name it Thunder Temple, it's because my brain is too stupid." ”

He sat on the ground and pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned over and stood up and said loudly: "General Li, a certain Taoist priest!" Pedantic heaven and man, and the Tao is one, how can you abandon the original and the end, abandon the avenue and seek small skills, this thunderous view, I ...... I can't stay any longer! “

Dejected, he turned around and walked to his house, cleaned up inside, gathered a package and put it on his shoulder, closed the door with both hands and sighed.

"Daochang Zhao," Li Siye dragged the reins of the horse to the door of the house, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, his body was as immobile as a towering green mountain, and he said loudly: "You said that you are a Taoist priest, you are dedicated to seeking the Tao, ignoring chores, and not asking about the world, then I will ask you, why did you come to the west of the moraine?" Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on practicing in the Feng Shui treasure of Jiugong Mountain in the Central Plains. ”

"I," Zhao Laodao said helplessly, with a complicated expression, "I told you before that Poor Dao came to the west to preach my Taoist teachings among the Kunlun Tianshan Mountains. The true meaning of the universal Taoism. ”

"Look, you don't even believe it. All religions seek common ground from the outside, only Taoists seek their hearts inward, and those who seek their hearts do not need to travel thousands of miles, nor do they jump around. You're just trying to make a name for yourself in the name of opening a Taoist temple in Shule Town. You want to become famous, and you want to be the master of the only Taoist temple in the west of the city, so as to open the door and establish a faction to gain the attention of the dignitaries of Chang'an. ”

Zhao Laodao was said to be in his mind, and only glanced at Li Siye from under his eyebrows, but he didn't blush.

"If you really want to be a well-known Taoist priest, you should stay here in the Thunder Temple, you can continue to chant the scriptures, and continue to practice alchemy. It's just that you want me to get me some explosives in your spare time, which is unacceptable? ”

"This ......" Zhao Laodao stood hesitantly in the courtyard with the package, and leaving was just a way for him to protest, hoping that Li Siye could compromise, but from the moment it seems that this martial artist is dead to this fire alum method.

"I will point out to you two clear paths, the first way, you give up the Taoist temple and leave, I can go elsewhere and find another Taoist priest to serve as the master. The second way, you stay and continue to be the master of this thunder temple, you can also continue to alchemy, practice, I will also continue to spend money to build the front yard of the mountain gate, the front and back halls of the Taoist temple. You just need to understand who is cultivating this meditation and what is the real purpose of the meditation. ”

Seeing Zhao Zhengyi's hesitation, Lu Tu and a few other cheap apprentices hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the master's burden, and at the same time crossed his hands and persuaded him: "Master, stay, this thunder view can't be presided over without you, and a few of us still want to learn alchemy from you."

Zhao Zheng sighed, turned around and left, and Lu Tu and the others hurriedly stopped in front of him: "Master......"

He straightened his face and said, "If you want to go to the toilet for the teacher, can't you?"

Several people hurriedly gave way, and Zhao Zhengyi spread his legs and ran to the southwest corner.

Li Siye nodded approvingly, and ordered the four of them: "Clean up, repair the courtyard wall, and try to find an open place outside the city in the future, there should also be a blacksmith shop next to the Taoist temple, and slowly raise it."

The four of them bowed in unison: "Wow!"

He turned his horse's head, left the Taoist temple, and walked along the streets and alleys in the direction of the town envoy's mansion. Zhao Laodao walked out of the toilet and looked at General Li who was drifting away in puzzlement.

The method of ambushing alum has long existed, and Li Siye's performance also shows that he knows that sulfur and saltpeter in alchemy can cause fierce fire, but that's all, how much can it help the soldiers? Although the exploding wall was a surprise to him, it was just a small trick for him, and for everyone, to add a little bit to the various offensive and defensive equipment.

Xiaoshu is Xiaoshu after all, how can he reach the Great Dao, and use his Taoist temple as a guise for a little Xiaoshu, this General Li's head is really strange.

Li Siye straddled his horse and walked through the streets and alleys returning to the town envoy's mansion, passing by the ruins of Geng Gongjing in the Han Dynasty.

For some reason, he decided to pay homage to the monument again, so he turned over and dismounted, and walked through the canopy to the edge of the well, and looked inside, and there was a bright place the size of a full moon at the bottom of the deep well, as if reflecting the light of the sky.

"There's water?"

In order to be convinced that what he saw was true, he found a stone by the well platform and threw it gently, and the stone slammed into the wall of the well and fell into the depths, and the sky at the bottom of the well was broken like a mirror, rippling layer by layer.

"Ha, there's water!"

When the people nearby heard the laughter, they ran towards the well in twos and threes, and after looking down, they also shouted: "Geng Gongjing is out of water!"

One of the old men carried a poplar cane, trembling to the well, Li Siye was afraid that he would accidentally slip down, so he hurriedly held on, so that he poked out his chin and looked at the deep well.

The old man was so excited that his white hair trembled: "Sure enough, it's out of the water, this is a rare auspicious sight." ”

The people congratulated Li Siye one after another: "Li Zhen, the blessing is profound, and it benefits one party." The well has been dry for 30 years, and successive town guards have dug deep into the mud, but they have not been able to lead to the sweet spring. Today, the town guard made a bow by the well, and the clear spring has gushed out, which is the high heaven queen soil feels your piety, so it leads the spring out of the well gift. ”

Li Siye touched his head and was a little confused, he actually just came to the well to take a look, why did he come to worship the well?

"Where is it dried up in thirty years, it should have dried up for seventy years, and the old man remembers that during the reign of Gaozong Longshuo, this well has already dried up." It was the old man on crutches who spoke.

Li Siye asked with interest: "Dare to ask the old man about his longevity."

The old man stroked his pale beard and smiled: "The old man is ninety-nine years old this year."

He hurriedly stood up respectfully, crossed his hands towards the old man, and said, "It turns out that the old man is already a human being, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Hey," the old man waved his hand: "Before the full hundred, I dare not call Renrui." However, the general's administration benefited Shule and moved the heavens, which was an auspicious time unseen in 70 years. I wanted to bow and worship each other, but I had no choice but to be inconvenienced, which is really a big pity. ”

It is true that the older people are, the better they speak, Li Siye said again and again, how dare he dare, and helped the old man to sit down on the stone near the well shed, and several people also gathered around him, chattering excitedly, as if there is water in this well, this year will be able to wind and rain, their crops can also be harvested, and cattle and sheep can also be fat.

At this time, some people have taken the initiative to get buckets and hemp ropes, but there are no wheels and stone frames on the edge of the well platform, and several people hang the buckets around the edge of the well, and take turns to relay the water up. The first bucket was slightly turbid when it was lifted, so it was poured out directly, and then the second bucket, and when the third bucket of water was lifted, it was already clear and clear.

One person scooped it up with a wooden scoop and presented it to Li Siye with both hands, Li Siye stretched out his hand to take it, but handed it to the old man: "Old man, please drink first."

The old man hurriedly put down the wooden staff, held it with trembling hands, and looked solemn as if he was holding the sweet rain given by the gods, and he raised his head and drank all the water in the scoop.

The people scooped up the second scoop of water, Li Siye reached out and took it, raised his head and drank it, wiped his beard and said to everyone: "Everyone tastes the new water in this well, and also touches the blessings of this spiritual land."

"Whoa."

The people lined up in turn to scoop up water and try it, and Li Siye sat there, chatting with the old man while he was wandering, imagining what the benefits of this matter were.
