Chapter 501: Some Truths Are Quite Natural
At the end of winter, the sky is cold and green, the mountains are frozen and the clouds are not flowing, Chen Ping'an looks around, and as far as the eye can see, there is a dry silence.
This is the color of the world, on the fairy ferry, overlooking thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there is absolutely no such feeling. Therefore, when practicing in the mountains, I don't know the cold and heat in the world.
The hiking stick in Chen Ping'an's hand, which was refined with the immortal recipe of Biyou Palace, showed a verdant color, making this thunder pool vein more similar to the bamboo whip material, otherwise the gold was too conspicuous, but as long as a prohibition was removed, this rough embryo of the ghost-fighting whip that temporarily belonged to Xiao Lian could be restored to its original appearance.
Beiju Luzhou is a little good, as long as you can speak a continent of elegant dialects, you don't have to worry about chickens and ducks talking, Aquarius and Tongye Continent, there are countless official dialects and local dialects of various countries, and it will be very troublesome to travel in all directions.
Chen Ping'an walked to the foot of the mountain, there was still no one around, and gently twisted a yang qi lantern talisman, the burning speed was normal, which showed that on the county side, the possibility of demons being haunted was smaller, and it was very likely that it was the second situation that Jindan Song Lanqiao said, a certain mountain and water god around the county town had arrived, and the golden body was about to collapse, which affected the number of feng shui qi in a place, and natural disasters were born.
It's just that there are no absolutes, Chen Ping'an plans to take a step by step, holding a talisman, walking slowly, until he meets an ox cart full of charcoal in the distance, a sturdy man in shabby clothes, with a pair of children covered with chilblains, go to the county town together, Chen Ping'an extinguished the talisman and walked quickly, the eyes of the two children were full of curiosity, but the country child was shy, so he shrank to his father, the man saw the young man with a cane on his back, and didn't say anything.
The winter is cold and frozen, the mud road is stiff, the ox cart is bumpy, the man is more and more afraid to lead the cow too fast, the charcoal is broken, the price is not high, the rich old man in the city is in charge, one by one, the eyes are vicious, the most provocative, and the words that kill the price are more chilling than the wind and cold that there is nowhere to hide. It's just that this slow, it will involve the two babies to be frozen together, which makes the man a little depressed, and he has already said that they don't want to follow the fun, what is there to see in the city, but the stone lion at the door of the house is scary, the painted door god is bigger, and it will be like that if you look at it, this car of charcoal will really be sold at a good price, and it will bring them back some broken mouths to eat, and the New Year's goods that should be bought will not be less.
The outline of the high wall of the county town can be vaguely seen, the man breathed a sigh of relief, the city is lively, popular, warmer than outside the city, as long as the two babies are happy, it is estimated that they will forget the cold or not.
It's just that the young man wearing a hat on his head, walking neither fast nor slow, followed behind the ox body, which made the man a little worried.
Chen Ping'an quickened his pace slightly, and asked with a smile: "This eldest brother, I am a foreigner who came from afar, I don't know what this county town is called, what is there worth visiting?"
The man was a stuffy gourd, but he didn't dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he pulled out a smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you go back to the master, the front is called Suijia City, it is said that the emperor went to the south and accidentally suffered from the wind and cold, and after a while, he was given such a name." I only know that the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city and the Fire God Temple in the south of the city are the most crowded on weekdays, so you can go and see them. β
"Okay, then I'll go into the city, and I'll go and see these two places. β
Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the ox cart, "I just happened to be on the way, I'm not in a hurry, let's enter the city together, and by the way, I will ask my eldest brother more about the things in the city." β
Although the man looked at it worriedly, when he looked up, the ox cart was getting closer and closer to the gate of the city with him, and he always felt that something could not go wrong, and it seemed that he was a little at ease, so he tried his best to learn from the people in the city to speak, and said more beautiful words: "Then I will say something I know, I can help the lord a little favor, it is the best, I have not read, I can't speak, there is something wrong, the lord will take care of it." β
Chen Ping'an held the walking stick in one hand and the ox cart in the other, and said: "This dare is good, the eldest brother just open up." β
Under the introduction of the man who thought of where to go, Chen Ping'an learned that this accompanying city is in Yinping country, not a small city, and there has been a prime minister in history, so the Kuixinglou incense on the side of the City God's Temple is prosperous, and the Fire God Temple is also noisy, it is said that it is very spiritual to seek wealth, and the rich people who do big business in the city love to go there to burn incense, so the man is to pull the ox cart to go to the market near the Fire God Temple, sell a car of charcoal, and you can buy New Year's goods directly in the nearby shop and go home.
The two children had been secretly looking at Chen Ping'an, but as long as Chen Ping'an smiled at them, they immediately turned their heads, a little embarrassed.
Unconsciously, the ox cart arrived at the city gate, because it was still early, you need to queue up to enter the city, there are some early stalls nearby, Chen Ping'an bought a bowl of millet porridge and a burrito, took off the hat, sat at the table and ate, the two children not far away swallowed their saliva, the man hesitated, took out a small handful of copper coins and handed them to his daughter, got the money, the two babies ran to the stall, and also bought a bowl of millet porridge and a cabbage cake with the fragrance of eggs, the daughter held the burrito and sent it to her father, the man just took a bite, and tore the remaining burrito in half, and returned it to the daughter, the little girl ran back to the table, handed half to the younger brother, and then the sister and brother ate the bowl of porridge together, the man guarded the ox cart, wiped his mouth, and grinned.
The stall business is good, and the two children sit opposite Chen Ping'an.
Chen Ping'an was used to chewing and swallowing slowly, thinking about things at the same time.
The previous trip to the Ghost Valley, the intrigue with the scholar, and the fighting power with the golden eagle spirit of Jixiao Mountain, in fact, were not very dangerous.
But the section of the road between Tongyin City and Qinglu Town, or to be precise, walked down from the cross-continent ferry of the Phi Ma Sect, and then escaped to Muyi Mountain with a sword immortal breaking through the canopy, so that Chen Ping'an still has some heart palpitations, and after a few chess game reviews, he felt that there was a line between life and death, but when he thought of the final harvest, it was full, the fairy money was not less, and the rare objects were not less, there was nothing to complain about, the only regret was that there were fewer fights, and it was not painful, it was not as good as the feeding fist of the down-and-out mountain bamboo building, and it was not enough fun, maybe a little more hearty.
After that, he recuperated in the Muyishan Mansion, and learned a lot of new things about Beiju Luzhou through a stack of Xianjiadi newspapers that he invited someone to bring to read.
One of the most unexpected, of course, is the Taiping Mountain female crown Huang Ting, in the battle of life and death in the mountain, lost to the young handsome man named Liu Jinglong on the mountain, you must know that Huang Ting came to Beiju Luzhou in order to break through the bottleneck of the Yuan Baby, although she is a new Yuan Baby, but Huang Ting's swordsmanship is high, there is no doubt about it, and above Liu Jinglong, who is roughly the same age and cultivation as Huang Ting, there are still two "young monks" whose cultivation, talent, and fortune background are more outstanding , As for the seven proud sons of heaven after Liu Jinglong, just looking at Yang Ning's wrist and heart in Yunxiao Palace, Chen Ping'an did not dare to have the slightest contempt.
In addition to this, there is another place in Tonli Mountain, where Chen Ping'an is very curious.
There are mountains outside the mountain, the great war is constantly tempering the mountain, there is a most suitable Baiquan Mountain to watch the battle nearby, there are more than 100 spiritual springs on the mountain, the aura is full, it is a congenital treasure land, there are more than 1,000 large and small immortal mansions built on the mountain, between the green mountains and green waters, the courtyard is deep, the scenery is pleasant, and it is a first-class place of cultivation, these Baiquan Mountain mansions are only rented and not sold, all of them are carefully built by the Qionglin Sect to hire the Yin and Yang masters to select the site and the Mo craftsman, you can rent for a long time, but the longer the term, the more expensive the price.
Relying on this long-term transaction of rolling money, the Qionglin Sect, which has made a lot of money, relied on the immortal money to pile up a half-hung jade Pujing to worship, and the sect was able to obtain the suffix of the sect.
This sect is in Beiju Luzhou, and its reputation has not been very good, only recognizing money, never talking about friendship, but it does not delay people's daily progress.
Therefore, Qionglin Sect not only made the monks red, but also made the mountain people despised, and there was a popular sarcastic words spread all over the north and south: embroidered pillows on the five realms, two sleeves of the breeze Qionglin Sect.
Chen Ping'an put down the chopsticks, looked at the city gate, there were horses' hooves in the distance in the city, slamming to the ground, it should be a battle of eight high-headed horses, out of the city together, close to the city gate where pedestrians gathered, instead of slowing down the horses' hooves, but one by one riding horses and whips, making the city gate noisy, chickens and dogs jumping, at this moment the people who entered and exited the city with the city have leaned against the wall to hide, the people outside the city seem to be strange, the experienced way, together with the man's ox cart, hurriedly and chaotically approached the road on both sides, and instantly gave way to an empty and spacious roadγ
It's something that happens everywhere.
The group of freshly dressed and angry horses, one by one, sat on horseback, galloped out of the city, a series of hurried horses' hooves were like a string of firecrackers, those arrogant and arrogant children of the powerful, skillfully riding horses whistling past, everyone wore a precious mink fur, held a splendid horsewhip, pulled a knife and carried a bow, and a slave carrying an eagle cage, a good one chasing the wind and electricity.
However, Chen Ping'an's attention was more about the two young people sitting on a stall in the distance, a man and a woman, dressed plainly but cleanly, both carrying long swords, and their appearance was not outstanding, but they had their own bearing, they were each eating a bowl of wontons, their expressions were indifferent, when the man saw the group of people who were driving with him galloping on horseback, he frowned, and the woman put down her chopsticks and shook her head lightly at the man.
Chen Ping'an knew it in his heart.
It should be a cultivator who came with the vision of the driving city.
It's just that the cultivation of young men and women is not high, Chen Ping'an looked at the subtle signs of his spiritual qi turn, and they were two qi practitioners who had not yet entered the cave mansion, although the two of them carried swords, they were definitely not sword cultivators.
When the woman with the sword turned her head to look, she only saw a young man who was settling accounts with the stall owner, holding a bamboo whip and a green bamboo walking stick, the man looked as usual, and his momentum was mediocre, those rangers who roamed the rivers and lakes were no different, the woman sighed, if she inadvertently crashed into the rivers and lakes of this driving city, her luck would be bad, if she was the same as them, she was specifically rushing to the disaster of the driving city. At the same time, there is a strange treasure born, it is really unbelievable, don't you know that the strange treasure has already been determined by the two immortal families of Yinping Country, who dares to touch it, such as her and the same junior brother around her, in addition to completing the secret order of the master, it is more of a dangerous experience.
This real immortal fight, ordinary masters, a little mixed, accidentally blocked the path of a great immortal master, it is the end of turning into powder.
The woman's thoughts wandered.
She herself is already considered the leading monk among the younger generations of the countries including the Silver Screen Kingdom, but compared to those two, she knows that she is far behind, a young man who is only fifteen years old, he was already in the realm of Dongfu the year before last, a woman in her early twenties, more opportunities, smooth cultivation all the way, and more treasures, if it were not for the two top sects to be mortal enemies, it would be a pair of golden boys and girls made in heaven.
More than a dozen national territories, up and down the mountain, seem to be watching the growth and competition of the two of them.
Every encounter between them will be a beautiful conversation that people talk about.
She would actually be envious.
Because the precocious young man who was destined to be in the spotlight from birth, was indeed born with the skin of an immortal, with a gentle temperament, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she couldn't understand, how could there be such a young man in the world who made women forget about it?
As soon as the young man saw that his senior sister was stunned, he thought that he was worried about the next trip, and said with relief: "Senior sister, if we are not sure, we will find that child and leave, and we don't need to pay attention to this unavoidable disaster. β
The woman nodded, then reminded, "Be careful that the wall has ears." β
The man smiled and said: "If it is said that the city is mixed with fish and dragons, and strange people gather, I believe it, but I want to say that this city gate can also meet the world's masters...... I don't believe it, we're not a small sect anymore, the old fairy and little immortal master on the mountain, which one is not a familiar face? Could it be that the monkey trickster is a hidden immortal? Or is the young ranger wearing a hat actually a great master of the rivers and lakes?"
The woman changed color slightly, "Have you forgotten the teachings of the master, travel down the mountain, be cautious in your words and deeds!"
She said this, the woman's eyes quickly glanced at the old man who was squatting on his shoulder, and the young man who walked near an ox cart, and then she was shocked in her heart, the latter was fine, still dazed and ignorant of her junior brother's offensive words, but the old man, who was originally reaching out to feed the little monkey on his shoulder, turned his head to look at her, pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked unkind. The woman stood up and clenched her fists in confession.
The old man didn't appreciate it very much, his eyes wandered, he looked at her from head to toe, and then sneered at the corner of his mouth, and didn't look at it anymore, as if he was a little disgusted with her posture and figure.
The woman didn't care too much, but her junior brother almost blew up his chest, this old immortal guy dared to be so insulting! He was about to take a step forward, but the senior sister gently pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him, "It's our rude first." β
The young man glanced at the old man who was playing with the monkey, kept his face firmly in his heart, and entered the city of Suijia, when the time came to seize the treasure, the forces of all parties were entangled, and there would be chaos.
Chen Ping'an actually took all this into his eyes, and felt a little emotional, the two sides who had become enemies inexplicably had really bad tempers.
In fact, there are more than a dozen countries around this silver screen country, which is weak in aura, Song Lanqiao of the Spring Dew Garden ferry said that the qi practitioners here are a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, and they like to lie in the small pond and lie in the nest, and the real Taoist monks outside are not uncommon to make small profits, and the monks inside are also happy not to cross the river dragon to make trouble, and close the door to make a fortune, and the two Jindan monks with a sparse realm led by the two rival sects each led a group of small minions to fight around, and I heard that the confrontation has been going on for hundreds of years.
However, Song Lanqiao said lightly and casually, Chen Ping'an is still used to walking the rivers and lakes cautiously, and carefully sailing the boat for ten thousand years.
The monks on the mountain, thousands of spells are strange, once they fight, the level of the realm, and even the quality of the magic weapon, they are not accurate, the five elements are mutually restrained, the time and place are favorable, the conversion of the road of fortune, and the conspiracy of the yang are all variables.
After entering the city, in order to prevent the charcoal seller from mistakenly thinking that he had bad intentions, Chen Ping'an did not follow him to the Fire God Temple Market, but went to the City God Temple first.
In fact, Chen Ping'an could see that the man was a pure martial artist, about the Four Realms, after seeing his own figure, the man deliberately breathed turbid and his steps were frivolous, presumably on the rivers and lakes of Yinping Country, a martial artist of the Three Realms with a good foundation, should have been famous, as for why he became a rural woodcutter and charcoal seller, dragging his family to earn hard-earned money, he must have his own story. These Chen Ping'an will not explore, Zifei fish knows the joy of fish.
After the two sides parted ways.
The man led the ox cart, the two children were still carefree, looking around, the man smiled, turned his head to look at the young ranger's distant back, and said to himself: "I didn't even see that I was a person from the rivers and lakes, then it should be the offspring of the second and third realms, alas, how could I come to this troubled water, those immortals who have cultivated immortal law on the mountain, aren't they just dragon-like existences, just shake their tails casually, how many people will drown?"
Chen Ping'an smiled.
That man was a kind-hearted man, and he deliberately mentioned it more, saying that the Lingbao City in the north was worth seeing more places. It should be that he wants to leave the land of right and wrong in Suijia City earlier.
Coincidentally, the old man who played the monkey and the young man and woman with the sword were all the way, and like Chen Ping'an, they all went to the City God Temple first.
Chen Ping'an deliberately slowed down, distanced himself from them, and then stopped at a calligraphy and painting shop on the way, and looked at a stick of incense calligraphy and painting in the shop, but spent a few taels of silver, and bought a few booklets that were originally used by the store as a gift, specifically introducing the famous works of Danqing in various dynasties and generations in the Yinping country.
After putting it into the bamboo box, I left the shop, and the old man and the woman were gone.
After approaching the City God Temple, Chen Ping'an's face is a little dignified, the incense is curling, on the street outside the City God Temple, you can smell the unique smell of the incense, but there are many mountains and rivers and temples, you will know that the amount of incense is not important, and in the word Jingchun, whether it is an orthodox ancestral temple sealed by the imperial court, or an obscene temple created by the people or spirits without authorization, it depends on how many catties and taels of the essence of the incense is. After Chen Ping'an looked at it, he saw this majestic and large-scale City God Temple, with incense lingering, as if he was detained by the City God with a secret method, and it did not leak out at all. The City God Temple and the Wenwu Temple, including the City God Temple, have to feed back to the mountains and rivers, and will strip out a part of the incense essence and scatter it into the surrounding world, so as to benefit the common people in the underworld and shelter the people, so as to form a cycle, instead of being like the City God Temple in front of you, which does not leak a drop of water and collects it all into your own pocket.
Chen Ping'an sighed softly, in fact, it is understandable, this is the self-saving act used by the golden-bodied god in the temple to hang his life, and he can't take care of anything else at the moment, some are similar to drinking to quench his thirst, and in the long run, the disasters will only continue to accumulate and become bigger.
Chen Ping'an didn't
Walking into this city god temple that guards the city according to the law, although the charcoal seller before said it is not very true, but in the end he has personally come here to worship the gods and pray and sincerely, so for the fairy lord worshiped in the front and rear halls, Chen Ping'an roughly understood that the regulations of the city god temple in this city are similar to other places, in addition to the front and rear halls and the Kuixing Tower, there are also the God of Wealth Palace, Yuanchen Palace, etc., which are built according to the preferences of local folk customs. However, Chen Ping'an still opened an incense shop outside the City God Temple, and inquired carefully, the old shopkeeper was a lively and talkative person, and told the origin of the City God Temple, the original front hall was dedicated to an ancient military general thousands of years ago, and it was a meritorious figure of a great dynasty in the early years.
When talking about this edict, the old shopkeeper asked with a smile: "Young man, don't you understand why he is just a third-grade marquis, this civil official was a second-grade scholar during his lifetime." β
Chen Ping'an smiled: "It's a little strange, I was trying to ask the old shopkeeper, do you have a saying?"
If it is said that the rules of many ancestral temples in the world are exquisite, Chen Ping'an has already cleared the door. It's just that if you want to follow the customs, how to follow the law, it is natural to ask the customs first when you enter the countryside.
The old shopkeeper smiled and did not speak.
Chen Ping'an hurriedly asked the incense shop for a tube of incense.
On the road.
The old shopkeeper laughed, and then began to talk about the door inside, "Young man, you look like you're mixed with the rivers and lakes, so you don't know this officialdom, it's normal, the titles and official products in the officialdom are not the same, not to mention the rank of these immortal lords who are worshiped by incense, and it's different, what's the matter, it's confused?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "It's a little complicated." β
The old shopkeeper began to show off his knowledge, shook his head and said: " A few years ago, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued a holy decree to posthumously present our city god as the third marquis, at that time, there was a big pomp, the lord of the Ministry of Rites personally left Beijing, so a big official, personally took the holy decree to our city with the city, after entering the city, and picked an auspicious day of the zodiac, the street outside the shop, see no, that day before dawn, there was a large team of officials from beginning to end, all sprinkled water and cleaned it again, and outsiders were not allowed to watch, I was to watch the excitement, the night before I simply slept in the shop, Only then did I see the old man Shangshu, tsk, it is really worthy of Wenqu Xing, even if you look at it from a distance, we all feel extravagant. β
The old shopkeeper was triumphant, "Let's not look at it as just a county town, but the treatment of the city god in front of me is already equivalent to the city god of the state city, except for the city god temple in the capital and the city god temple in the capital, there is no higher fate." Young man, so you invited incense, you must go to the temple to worship more, kowtow more, although this City God Temple has always been a scholar to seek more wisdom, but our City God Lord has a high official position and great ability, I want you to come as long as you are sincere, you will also shelter one or two. β
Chen Ping'an asked some more civil and military officials in the City God Temple, and sure enough, they were still worthy of two judges, six divisions of the City God, as well as two gods of day and night, and a shackle general. These subordinate officials who assisted the city god have their own origins, and the old shopkeeper is extremely familiar with it, and he has a way to speak, but when Chen Ping'an asked if he had seen the appearance of the city god with his own eyes, the old shopkeeper was a little speechless, his face was a little unnatural, and he replied that we, the common people, where can we see the true body of the city god, even if we stand in front of us, we can't recognize it.
Chen Ping'an smiled: "It should be so, as the old saying goes, real people don't show their faces, and they are not real people, and these gods must be even more so." β
The old shopkeeper's face improved.
The etiquette system of the city god of Yinping Country is roughly the same as that of Aquarius, but there are still some differences, and there are differences in rank and service.
However, Yinping Guodang's posthumous sealing is a bit unusual, and he should have noticed the strange appearance of the golden body of the city god here, so that he did not hesitate to seal a county city god beyond the level.
After Chen Ping'an left the incense shop, he stood on the bustling street and looked at the City God Temple.
It is better to sleep in the grave than in the broken temple.
That's it.
Once the aura of the world's mountains and rivers is transformed, it is easy to attract a situation of reversal of fortune and misfortune.
Chen Ping'an walked towards the Fire God Temple, the weather of the City God Temple has not yet collapsed, and it should be able to last for a while.
On the side of the Fire God Temple, the incense is also prosperous, but compared with the chaos of the City God Temple, the incense here is more clear and stable, and the gathering and dispersion are orderly.
But he also didn't step into it, he is now able to suppress the strange things on his body with his fist intent, but after setting foot in the ancestral temple, whether it will attract unnecessary attention, Chen Ping'an is not sure, if it is not for this trip to the southeast of Beiju Luzhou is too hasty, according to Chen Ping'an's original plan, it is to walk through the swaying river temple in the bone beach, and then go to several major ancestral temples of the secular dynasty, and personally inspect it. After all, it is similar to the swaying river ancestral temple, the owner is a landscape god who is a neighbor of the Phi Ma Sect, with a high vision, and he burns incense at the entrance, and people may not take it seriously, and whether people see it or not, it doesn't mean anything, but the largest river god at the southern end of a continent did not appear in the ancestral temple, but played a role in supporting the artemisia boatman, and wanted to be kind enough to dial himself.
Chen Ping'an wandered around the incense shop near the Fire God Temple again, and asked some of the god's roots.
There is a little bit similar to the old shopkeeper of the City God Temple, this god who sits in the south of the city, has never really appeared in the market, deeds and legends, but more than the city god in the north of the city, and it sounds closer to the people than the city god , Some festivals, because of the jurisdiction of Cangyun Lake, there is a canal owner of the Narcissus Temple's wife, once annoyed the fire god temple lord, the two sides fought, the big stream canal master is not an opponent, so he moved to the lake Jun to rescue the army, as for the final result, it was a passing sword fairy who had never left a name, persuaded the two gods, so that the lake monarch did not exert his magical powers, and the water flooded with the city.
Chen Ping'an thought about it, and then left Suijia City directly, directly chose a mountain path, and secretly went to the Narcissus Temple in the jurisdiction of Cangyun Lake. If it is really a disaster that has brought disaster to a city, it must be taken care of. If the gods in a small place fight, let's see.
In the night, Chen Ping'an came to an ancestral temple along a wide stream, the road was overgrown with weeds and few people, which showed that the incense of the lady of the canal owner had withered.
And this ancestral temple is actually only a few dozen miles away from the market town.
However, Chen Ping'an was on a hill at the confluence of streams and lakes when he saw a group of people walking towards the ancestral temple with torches in hand.
Chen Ping'an followed all the way, listening to their verbal exchanges, some crying and laughing, these well-fed market youths and young men who were full of support actually competed in their own courage, to see who entered the ancestral temple, and really dared to tease the canal master. This kind of thing, in fact, is also common in the countryside, Chen Ping'an's hometown town there was back then, if there is any child, who dares to sleep in the fairy tomb for a night, it is a hero who stands up to the sky, Xinghua Lane once had a peer, claiming that he lay in the fairy tomb for a night, but under the old locust tree, when he mentioned this matter proudly, he suddenly won the admiration of many peers next to him, "after this battle" , He became a child king in the area of Xinghua Lane, and in the years after that, he took pleasure in bullying Chen Ping'an and Song Jixin, the neighbors of Mud Bottle Lane, and of course wanted to be able to let the strangely named Zhigui play his little daughter-in-law when he was playing at home, but it was a pity that he was scolded by Song Jixin, and Zhigui always had a straight face, his eyes were indifferent, and he ran back to the town with Song Jixin, and the peer took the fart worm to throw mud at their master and servant.
In fact, that night, Chen Ping'an happened to go there to worship the Bodhisattva, and saw the peer from a distance, but he just took a few steps outside the immortal tomb and rushed home.
Tonight, Chen Ping'an saw a group of seven or eight people, but he was unwilling to treat himself badly, and brought enough wine and meat. When these people entered the Narcissus Temple that was only two courtyards, the plaque was tilted, the temple had been abandoned for a long time, dilapidated, and the wall was crawling with thick green sage, Chen Ping'an sat on a big tree in the distance outside the temple, with a wide field of vision, Chen Ping'an put the walking stick on his knees, his hands were sleeved, and he raised his eyes to watch the changes.
Chen Ping'an took out the dry food, took off the sword gourd containing the deep stream water of Baojing Mountain, and began to eat supper.
In the small ancestral temple, several bonfires have been lit, drinking wine and eating meat, so unhappy, and there are many meat talks.
There are three statues of one tall and two short statues, which are painted statues, but the years are ruthless, the paint is peeling, and the center is the lady of the canal master, and the left and right should be the attendants.
The three of them are all eyebrows and lifelike, especially the owner of the stream and canal, who is slender, beautiful and beautiful.
Chen Ping'an glanced at it, it was a little strange, those three statues of gods did not look like golden bodies that could hide the divine light.
This is also the luck of those who are in the market.
Chen Ping'an planned to go to Cangyun Lake after eating dry food, but this lake monarch did not have an ancestral temple on the shore, so he had a headache. It's really not good, I have to show up and ask those lustful guys if there are any water god temples nearby.
Chen Ping'an began to close his eyes and recuperate, and began to refine the deep stream of the gloomy water of Baojing Mountain.
At the same time, the mind is slowly immersed, and the inner view method of the entrance to the mountain is used to travel to his own small world.
The contents of some ancient books today are easy to confuse future generations of book readers.
For example, the one who bowed to the people, threw himself into the white horse, and worshiped the water god Hebo. Why is it a white horse, there is no explanation in the book.
As for the sentence that the god of water can't be seen, he waits for the big fish and the big Jiao. It is even more incomprehensible, all continents and places in the world, the gods of mountains and rivers and the golden body of ancestral temples are never uncommon.
Chen Ping'an suddenly opened his eyes, instantly retracted all his qi, and remained silent.
Only looking at the mouth of the stream in the distance, there was a ripple fluctuation that affected the subtle changes in the aura of heaven and earth, and then Chen Ping'an soon saw that the water was rippling, one before and two after the three women, belatedly coming, the first woman, wearing colorful clothes, the clothes were fluttering, the water mist was hazy, and the two maids behind them were also the appearance of the Narcissus Temple, but the posture was actually better than the statue, but the lady of the canal owner, in fact, the posture was far inferior to the statue of the god, I don't know what the skilled craftsman who opened the face of the statue of the temple and the canal lord, every time he went under the knife, what he thought in his heartγ
Shifting his gaze again, Chen Ping'an began to admire the courage of the guys in the temple, one of the young men, climbed up to the altar, hugged the statue of the main god of the canal and gnawed it, and the meat words on his mouth continued, causing laughter, strange screams, and cheers.
When I was young, I always felt that not following the rules was a capable thing.
And when I was young, I met a girl I actually liked, bullied her, was scolded by her a few words, and rolled my eyes a few times, which can be regarded as mutual liking.
The three women from Cangyun Lake, after approaching the ancestral temple, cast a trick and turned into a white-haired old woman and two young girls.
The corners of the old woman's mouth sneered, and after entering the ancestral temple, she had a kind look.
Those young and young men were dumbfounded when they saw this goosebumpy old woman and the two young girls behind them.
For a while, there was no sound in the ancestral temple, only the occasional cracking of the dead branches of the fire.
Especially the young man who was holding the neck of the statue of the Lord of the Canal with both hands and his legs wrapped around his waist, turned his head and was at a loss.
One of the teenagers lightly bumped the young man next to him with his elbow, and said in a trembling voice: "It can't really be the water god Niangniang who asks for the guilt, right?"
The man shook his head, from stunned to surprised, and said with a smile: "Look at it with wide eyes, where is it like, it's just an old lady walking at night, with two granddaughters, most of them are from nearby villages we don't know, we are not shallow." β
The young man secretly wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, because he knew the man's temperament, he was really afraid that he would drink too much, so he would do that evil thing, and cautiously persuaded him: "Brother, let's not be impulsive, we will make a big fuss, and we will have a lawsuit." β
The young man sneered and said, "It's a big fuss, it's good if it's too big, the raw rice is cooked and ripe, and I just happened to marry into the door as a daughter-in-law." Don't rob me, those two girls, I like them a lot, but I'm kind, as long as the one on the left and the one on the right, you can discuss it slowly. β
The old woman pretended to be panicked, and was about to leave with the two girls, and she had already brought people to surround the man.
The young man who jumped on the platform with the greatest courage had already slipped off the statue of the lady of the canal, crossed his hands on his waist, looked at the scene at the door, and said with a hippie smile: "Sure enough, the foreigner with the knife is right, I am now prosperous, Liu San, one of you belongs to you, and one belongs to me!"
Chen Ping'an suddenly frowned.
Look at one of the beams in the temple.
Sitting up, a strong man with thick eyebrows, a knife hanging from his waist, and his legs hanging, he yawned, lazily ripped off a yellow paper talisman on his body, and after it was torn off, the talisman burned out with a bang.
The old woman looked shocked.
The man smiled: "You don't need to do anything, you can't catch fish." β
The man stretched his muscles and bones, and at the same time waved his sleeves, and a spiritual aura like a spiritual snake swam across the walls of the four directions, and then snapped his fingers, and on the walls inside and outside the ancestral temple, a golden light rune suddenly appeared, and the rune was like a bird.
Before his group of market fools set off, he took the lead in sneaking into this Narcissus Temple, and after drawing the talisman, he used a unique talisman and a secret technique, like a turtle's breath concealment technique, which could blind his own qi, otherwise this lady of the canal master would be scared away. As for those detention talismans, it is a good means for the master to become famous, called slush talismans, also known as flying bird seals, after the talisman is completed, it is the most hidden, not easy to detect, really like that Feihong stepping on the slush, on the occasional finger claw, Hongfei where to count things.
However, in addition to this talisman mastery, his own division is a well-known military sect, and he is good at assassination, and it is not the same as the ordinary military forces, so the brothers of the same sect are mostly the personal followers of the generals of the secular dynasty, although in the territory of these more than ten countries, the division is not the top immortal power, but still no one dares to underestimate it. It's just that he has a wild temperament and can't be restrained, for decades, he likes to mix in the rivers and lakes under the mountains, and would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and if he has nothing to do, he will tease those heroes who are like loaches in the water and earthworms on the mountains. Especially those so-called heroines, it is even more special.
The man looked at the old woman and the two girls at the moment, and they were already in the bag.
The old woman asked slowly, "I don't know why this immortal master is trying to lure me out of the lake?
The man reached out and grabbed a wine jug from the campfire, raised his head and poured a big mouthful, then threw it out suddenly, and said in disgust: "These little rabbits, what kind of stuff they bought, a smell of urine, drinking this kind of wine, no wonder the brain can't carry it." β
The man seemed to be in a bad mood, staring at the old woman, "My junior brother and your family Cangyun Lake Hujun, not very dealing, just this time I was ordered by the master to go to the city with the car, Hujun hid in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of his lake, it is not easy to find, I know that you girl, has always been a lonely resentful woman, when my stupid junior brother and Cangyun Lake's grievances, in the final analysis, are also because of you, so I want to take your sacrificial knife, Hujun came, that is just right, as long as he climbs ashore, I really don't scare him at all." Didn't they all say that Mrs. Qu Master was his forbidden body, I will play you to death when I turn around, and then throw your body on the edge of Cangyun Lake, see if he can bear it. β
The old woman's face turned pale.
The two maids are even more miserable and miserable, and the lady of the canal owner can still maintain the trick, they have lost their aura, and they vaguely show their true faces.
Those prodigals in the market were even more frightened.
Especially the frivolous boy standing on the altar, he already needs to lean his back against the idol to stand still and not be paralyzed.
Although Chen Ping'an didn't know how the man was so clever in concealing his qi, one thing was obvious, there were no good people in the three sides of the ancestral temple.
The only boy who was still sitting by the campfire still had some conscience left, but he was already scared to pee his pants by this time.
The old woman simply withdrew her trick and squeezed out a smile, "This Great Immortal Master should be from the Ghost Axe Palace of the Golden Duo Kingdom, right?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and began to scold: "His mother is like you, can you also make my junior brother think about it for so many years after the spring breeze?
Jianghu, help him relieve his boredom, and he has tasted the taste of many powerful ladies and beautiful women, but the junior brother has always felt bored, what's the matter, is it your bed kung fu?"
On the branches in the distance, Chen Ping'an, who always had his hands in his sleeves, squinted his eyes.
The lady of the canal master at the gate of the temple had an ugly face, and she still said in a flattering tone: "Back then, I was in love with the younger brother of the immortal master, not only wanted to be the dewy mandarin duck, but was determined to be a pair of unruly gods and humanes, but I was framed by the cheap maid of the lord of the canal of Zaoxi, and secretly reported the matter to Lord Hujun. β
Seeing the man on the beam, the lady of the canal lord had already begun to hold down the handle of the knife, grabbed a maid with one hand, dragged it forward, and said with a coquettish smile: "Lord Immortal, my two maidservants are quite handsome, so I gave them to Lord Immortal Master as a bed warmer, just hoping to pity one or two, and after they get bored in the coming year, they can be sent back to Cangyun Lake." β
The man asked, "What about you?"
Mrs. Qu Master smiled: "If the Immortal Master can see it, he doesn't dislike the posture of the slave and the willow, so why not sleep together?"
The man was noncommittal, his chin lifted twice, "What do you do with these pickles?"
The lady of the canal lord smiled, "If you offend the gods, you should die, but if you get in the way of the eyes of the immortal master, you will die." I'm going to clean up these guys? The slave has a cup hidden in her sleeve, and she makes wine with the essence of Cangyun Lake's water transportation, just taking this opportunity, please drink and have a good time, I personally pour wine for the fairy master, these two maids are born in the palace dancing girls before their deaths, and they dance to help the fun. β
The man was still smiling playfully and silent.
This made the lady of the canal master beat the drum in her heart even more.
In a split second.
Without warning, the man slashed out.
Mrs. Qu Master shrank her head in fright, but fortunately, the sword light did not take her head, but went outside the ancestral temple.
Mrs. Qu Master lost her face and turned her head to look.
I saw a big tree, under the light of the knife, on the branch, a young ranger wearing a hat raised his head slightly, one hand was still shrunk in his sleeve, and he held the knife light with only one hand.
The man was surprised in his heart, his face remained unchanged, he changed from a sitting posture to a squatting on the beam, holding a knife in his hand, the blade was bright, and he said in surprise: "Yo, what a handsome technique, Gang Qi is pure, and the condensation is complete, when did you come out of Yinping Country as a young martial arts master? I have dealt with the first person in the rivers and lakes of Yinping Country, and I can block this knife with all my strength, but I definitely can't be so easy." β
Chen Ping'an gently put away his palm, the last bit of sword light dissipated, and asked, "The talisman you used to wear, as well as the talisman painted on the wall, are the secret traditions of the master?
The man smiled: "I borrowed a light knife to greet you, and I want to pretend to be an uncle with Lao Tzu?"
The man fell to the ground from the beam, and when he strode towards the gate of the temple, the lady of the canal master and the two maids, as well as the men of the market who had long since dispersed, all hurried to avoid further.
The man slammed his knife on the ground and sneered: "Quickly report the name!" If it is a mountain that is familiar with our Ghost Axe Palace, it is a friend, a friend, you can enjoy the blessings together, meet tonight, and those who see it have a share." If you kid plan to be an old-fashioned and warm-hearted high-roller and act here tonight, then I, Du Yuke, will teach you how to be a man. β
Those young people in the market only felt that what this immortal master said was terrifying.
But the lady of the canal owner was very surprised, the words of the surname Du were actually very mysterious, not to mention showing weakness, but definitely not arrogant.
Next, the lady of the canal owner was even more shocked.
The young ranger disappeared in a flash, stood outside the open gate of the ancestral temple, and smiled: "Then I beg you to teach me to be a man." β
Du Yu held the handle of the knife with one hand, clenched his fist with the other, twisted it slightly, and said with a hideous face: "Is it a division of victory and defeat, or is it a direct division of life and death?!"
As a result, the man replied: "You didn't kill me, you almost scared me to death." β
Mrs. Qu Master really didn't have the courage to laugh out loud, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.
Suddenly, the lady of the Qu Master turned sharply and took a step back, "Du Yu, Du Yu of the Ghost Axe Palace!
Du Yu tugged at the corners of her mouth, okay, it's quite interesting, this aunt can live.
It's just that the man outside the door said again, "How old are the Daoists, two Upper Five Realm cultivators?"
Mrs. Qu Master was happy in her heart, a great good thing! She moved out of Du Yu's prominent identity, the other party is still not afraid at all, it seems that the most unfortunate situation tonight is also to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, it is really necessary to lose both, that is the best, if the stunned young man who was born out of thin air wins, it is even better, to deal with a ranger who has no grievances and no enemies, it is always better to discuss, than to deal with Du Yu, a fierce god who came at him. Even if Du Yu chops the useless young ranger into a puddle of meat, he should remember the little affection of his own talent. After all, Du Yu didn't look like he was going to fight for his life, otherwise according to the stinky temper of the monk of the Ghost Axe Palace, he would have already cut people with a knife.
Du Yu hooked his fingers, lifted the knife, shook it casually, and said with a smile: "As long as you kid can break through the talisman array and enter this temple, I will let you make a move, uncle." β
In an instant, the walls of the ancestral temple circled, and the golden light exploded, and the eyes were dizzy.
Then I saw that the young ranger wearing a hat, like a ghost, had appeared on Du Yu's side, swept his arm on the latter's neck, and beat Du Yu's entire popular mansion and passed out on the spot, and then smashed heavily on the altar in the ancestral temple, not only smashed the statue of the lady of the canal lord directly into two, Du Yu was also trapped in the wall, as for the knife, it fell to the ground, and it made a sonorous sound.
The knife on the ground is as bright as water, and it should be a good knife.
Chen Ping'an held a hiking stick, standing in place, this hand slightly changed the iron riding chisel formation, with a square inch after breaking the formation into the temple, naturally left the strength, otherwise this guy who threatened to make a move for himself should be an unfilial son, let the pair of ghost axe palace avenue couple white-haired people send black-haired people, of course, it is not surprising that the monks on the mountain, who are 100 years old or even thousands of years old, are still young.
The reason why he stayed was naturally that Chen Ping'an wanted to go back and "humbly ask" the two unique talismans with that person.
As for those young men in the market who were scattered one by one, they were instantly stunned by the ripples of qi that came out of the fist.
As for the frivolous young man on the altar, he was hooked up by Du Yu, who flew out upside down, and he was also knocked unconscious, compared to the man in the courtyard, the young man's fate was even more miserable.
Everything was calculated in the slightest.
But it's just a punch.
All that was left was the boy sitting by the campfire.
Chen Ping'an glanced at him, "Can't pretend to be dead?"
The young man quickly fell back to the ground, tilted his head, and did not forget to roll his eyes and stick out his tongue.
Chen Ping'an smiled and asked, "Mrs. Qu Master, I broke your statue, don't you mind?"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and swept one of the young men like a broom, sweeping away the wall, and the man collided with the wall, and there was a slight sound of bones shattering.
The canal owner who was in charge of the water transportation of a river and a river only felt that his bones were about to be shattered.
Mrs. Qu Master hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "If you don't tighten it, it's good if the immortal master is happy, don't say it's broken in two, and it doesn't hurt to break it to pieces." β
Chen Ping'an asked, "What's going on over there in Suijia City?"
Mrs. Qu Master bent down slightly, holding a treasure light flowing immortal artifact in both hands, "The immortal master can drink while drinking, and the slave and maid will say slowly." β
Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "You are not popular with the person surnamed Du, do you think it works? Besides, why does his junior brother miss you, and you don't have any points in your heart? If you really want to find death, you should change your clever method." When my boxing skills are low and I am not deeply involved in the world, I am good at cheating?"
Mrs. Qu Master hurriedly put away the wine cup, but a chill surged from the heavenly spirit cover above her head, and then it was painful, and she slapped her whole body so that her knees sank into the ground.
The spirit swayed, as if in the oil pot, the wife of the canal master endured the severe pain, her teeth fought, and the trills were heavier, and said: "The immortal master is gracious, the fairy master is gracious, and the slave and maid dare not find death by themselves." β
Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "I'm not surnamed Du, I don't have any holidays with you and Cangyun Lake, just passing by." If it weren't for the fact that the surname Du had to make me a trick, I wouldn't be happy to come in. 1510, tell me the inside story of Suijia City that you know, if there are some things I know you know, but you know and pretend not to know, then I will have to make a good sum with Mrs. Qu Master, the cup that Mrs. Qu Master deliberately put in her sleeve is actually a natal object used to carry similar ecstasy soup and peach blossom luck, right?"
The lady of the canal master laughed more ugly than cried.
This guy is clearly a hundred times more difficult than that Du Yu!
The lady of the canal lord trembled, and brought the calamity of the neighbor to the city one by one.
Chen Ping'an listened to her story, and quietly paid attention to the looks of the two maids out of the corner of his eye.
The city god who followed the city was really about to collapse his golden body and reach the end of the incense avenue, the so-called end of the road, but that's it. But like that person's fear of death, the city god is no exception, he exhausted all methods, first dredged the relationship, exhausted his savings, and asked the court for a letter that exceeded the etiquette system, but the effect was still not good, which stemmed from a case that no one cared too much about at the time. But the far-reaching old things, a hundred years ago, there was a case of unjust death of a scholar in the city, and finally in the eyes of the court officials and the people in the market, it is considered to be a grievance, but the truth is far from the case, at that time, the officials of the city god temple did not know that the consequences were so serious, otherwise I am afraid it would be a different scene.
Cangyun Lake and Suijia City are close neighbors, and Lord Hujun, who governs one lake, three rivers and two canals, is deeply rooted, so he knows a lot of insiders, that scholarly family, several generations of people do good deeds
, In the plaque of the family ancestral hall, an incense villain was about to be born, but overnight, a tragic disaster was suffered, and the chickens and dogs were not left. The city god was furious, and began to order the priests to picket this matter, but he never thought that in the end, he actually found the head of the city god temple himself, the original city god temple six divisions headed by the head of the Yin and Yang Division, as the first assistant of the city god god, and the shackle general whose duties are similar to the county lieutenant auxiliary officer, colluded with each other, one turned into a human form without authorization, put on a handsome young man's skin, tempted and bullied the woman of the family, and the shackle general fell in love with the incense villain who had not yet been fully condensed, hoping to bribe a fairy monk, trying to go to the city god pavilion in the state city to serve, and be promoted to the military judge above the divisions under one person, and the shackle general wanted to blackmail the head of the Yin and Yang Division, The two members of the City God Temple, who were supposed to help a county with smooth weather and orderly yin and yang, partnered to invite a group of gangsters who were scurrying to commit crimes into the city, and washed the scholarly door in blood, and the chief official of the Yin and Yang Division secretly hid two beautiful women early, and the golden house was hidden in a secluded mansion in the countryside outside the county town.
If that's the case, even if the city god is a little favoritism and lightly sentences the two auxiliary officials, he will not fall into today's field, the city god who was good at selling his reputation before his death, on the surface, let the ghost officials of the division help the government find the gang of bandits, kill them on the spot, leaving no one alive, and then secretly let go of the head of the Yin and Yang Division, and killed the shackle general who turned his elbow outward, as for the two women, it was naturally difficult to escape death, but I never thought that there was a child in the scholarly door, who happened to play hide and seek with the maid in the house, and hid in the wall, and the maid was loyal to the lord, deliberately died near the wall, and covered the entrance with his own corpseMore than ten years later, with the help of a world-class senior, he was able to change his name and household registration, high school rankings, and for another ten years, his career was smooth, and he became a county parent official, and began to overturn the case.
The scholar who should have a bright future, never married a wife in his life, and there was no scholar and maidservant by his side, one of them took office alone, and the other went to die. He seemed to have sensed the danger in the city, and before he quietly sent a secret letter to a friend in the court, he had already regarded death as home, and finally on that day, he went to the mansion, which had been deserted for many years, and in the night, the man took off his official robe, wore linen and filial piety, kowtowed to incense, and then ...... and died.
In fact, from before he walked out of the county guard's mansion, the ghosts and officials of the City God Temple had already surrounded the entire government office, and the wandering god himself acted as the "door god" day and night.
So late that night, this person walked all the way from the government office to the old house, not to mention the pedestrians on the road, not even the husband.
After cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, three years later, he found that a crack began to appear in his golden body.
The Yin Virtues that had accumulated could not make up for this crack, and they could only watch it spread more and more to the golden body.
So there is a vision of today's driving city.
Chen Ping'an listened quietly, and then the lady of the canal lord said in a slightly gloating tone, and came to a conclusion about the coffin for the Chenghuang Temple in Suijiacheng, "You can't live if you do your own evil, but the wording that they are most familiar with in the Chenghuang Temple is really funny. β
Chen Ping'an finally asked, "The secret letter sent to the capital was intercepted by the City God Temple?"
Mrs. Qu Master shook her head and said: "Hui Xianshi, according to my family Hujun, that Taishou acted quite carefully, and it was indeed sent to a friend in the capital, but for some reason, the mud cow entered the sea, so many years, the court did not know about it, but the person who received the letter, the officialdom was smooth, and he did the criminal department of Shangshu back then, and later the family was prosperous, and the descendants of the imperial examination were very good. β
Chen Ping'an asked again: "Together with this person surnamed Du, why did so many cultivators rush to Suijia City together? Could it be that the City God of Suijia City, who is so glorious and has made so many friends on the mountain, wants to pull the City God's Temple?"
Mrs. Qu Lord, who had been obediently pestle in place, lowered her voice, raised her head and said: "The feng shui of the city is quite strange, after the turmoil in the City God Temple, it seems that there is no way to keep a strange treasure. Rainstorm and heavy snow night, in the county, there will be a treasure light, from a prison, angry bullfighting, so many years of the mountain masters have run to investigate, but have failed to catch the root of the treasure, but there are people who speculate that it is a piece of heaven and earth treasure that has been bred for thousands of years by the luck of a state's mountains and rivers, with the resentment of the city is too heavy, lingering, they do not want to stay in the city of the car, there is a sign of the treasure in the world. β
Chen Ping'an squinted his eyes again and asked, "I just casually asked your wife the princess, and I knew so many appalling truths, and then so many capable people, after so many years, one by one, flying back and forth in that driving city, maybe there are still many monks who have taken root in the city for many years, but there is no immortal master who tried to overturn the case for that family?"
Mrs. Qu Master's stunned this time was spontaneous, not fake, and then muttered: "What are you doing to overturn the case?
Chen Ping'an took off his hat, looked up at the night sky, and scratched his head, "In this way, it is a very reasonable statement." β
On the wall behind the shrine platform, there was some noise.
Mrs. Qu Master only felt a gust of wind blowing on her face, and suddenly turned her head to look.
The Shentai was hit in half by that person, and the dust was flying, and Du Yu, who had secretly woken up and wanted to make a move, was directly grabbed by the neck with one hand by the man and smashed into the ground.
When the man got up, Du Yu had already lost his qi, and he couldn't die anymore.
Then at that moment, as a water goddess, she felt cold all over, like falling into an ice cave.
The man, turning his head sideways, looked at her.
His face was expressionless.
The eyes are like the ancient well, as if the water is deep, there is a dragon swaying, wanting to climb the wall of the well, poking out the head to take a look at the heaven and earth outside the well.
The lady of the canal lord wanted to take a step back and hide farther, but her feet were deep in the ground, so she had to lean back, as if this was the only way to avoid being scared to death directly.
It's just that for some reason, the next moment, the man suddenly smiled, stood up, clapped his palms, put on the hat again, stretched out two fingers, helped him, and said with a smile: "Mountain monks, don't stain red dust, don't get involved in cause and effect, it's a matter of course." β
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
