When he arrived at the rumored Niangniang Temple, Wu Jian stopped. It's the season of peach blossoms, and it's the best time of the year. The horse incense cart stretched for several miles, and the intersection to the Niangniang Temple was blocked very tightly.

Everywhere are young men and women who are stirred by the smoky spring, dressed in fresh clothes and makeup, talking and laughing and enjoying the mountain scenery. It's not so much to worship the peach leaf Niangniang, but to come out to find love. From time to time, there are quite beautifully dressed women, accompanied by the maids, and return happily, only to know that they have drawn a marriage lot in the temple and got a lot.

Wu Yan couldn't help but be speechless, Peach Leaf Niangniang was probably not married before she was alive, but after her death, she was in charge of marriage, isn't it ridiculous. However, this is also in line with the habits of the people of Zhao State, and these gods in the general temple are often given some inexplicable duties.

For example, those who manage the rain have to manage their children, those who manage war have to manage wealth and fortune, and those who manage grains have to manage marriage. All in all, it is a multi-task, the responsibilities of the gods are increasing, and the scope of business is getting wider and wider, but I don't know if these gods can eat it.

But you don't care if you try it, it doesn't work at all, and you tear down and rebuild a statue of a god. Since you have done this, you have to work hard and be diligent, or you will do anything.

On the road, there were also passengers who wanted to take a boat like Wu Gan, and when they saw that they could not enter the temple, they were anxious to turn around.

Wu Geng was shy, strong, squeezed through the crowd, and walked towards the Niangniang Temple.

From time to time, there were dissatisfied accusations on the road, but Wu Gan didn't care. Pregnant women always have the privilege of not seeing their belly bulge, even though the baby is just an egg.

Finally squeezed to the front of the Niangniang Temple, Wu Yan reached out and took a stick of incense from the old woman Miaozhu's hand with a face like a walnut, and prepared to enter the temple proudly. Miao Zhu stopped him and stretched out his hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Incense money, one or two pieces of silver."

"One or two." Wu Gan's eyes widened, although there were a lot of thorn jade coins on his body now, and even one Yaoyu was there, Wu Gan was still reluctant to give up the silver or two.

A tael of silver is enough for a worldly family to eat a big meal, or buy a lot of clothes. Wu Geng won't blink his eyes when he should spend the money, and he can't spend a penny if he shouldn't spend it.

Miao Zhu glanced at Wu Jian with disdain, and turned his gaze to the person behind him, as if he didn't give it.

In desperation, Wu Gan paid the incense money. When he walked into the temple with blue bricks and green tiles and a simple shape, he regretted the unjust payment of this money. In the center of the main house, there is a statue of the peach blossom lady, and the lacquer on it is still very bright, far from the solemnity in other temples.

The peach blossom lady has a face like a full moon, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a peach blossom in her hand, and a white deer on her side. The white wall next to it is full of poems, which are supposed to be written by literati who visited this place.

At the top, there is a small poem that attracts Wu Gan's attention, only envy the gold and jade in the book, and nine out of ten people are guilty. This crooked poem is placed on these brocade sentences on the wall, which is quite ironic. This temple blessing will not be erased, let this poetry overwhelm the text.

Wu Yan smiled, took a colorful silk bracelet from another temple blessing, which was a certificate for worshipping the peach leaf Niangniang, threw the long incense on the table, turned around and was about to go out. Miao Zhu hurriedly stopped and reminded Wu Gan that it was disrespectful to only ask for incense and not worship Niangniang, whether it was swimming in the mountains or crossing the river, it was inevitable to encounter unsafe things.

Looking back at the statue, Wu Yan smiled and said: "It is still difficult to save yourself in life, and how can you save others after death." After speaking, he ignored the obstruction of the temple and walked away.

When he went out, looking at the crowd of people, Wu Yan was a little worried, it had taken a lot of effort to squeeze in, if he went out again, it would be dark to say that the ferry would not be able to catch up today.

Looking around, there was no one on the slope beside the road, and there were many peach trees, and there was no road under the trees. Wu Yan patted his head, why didn't he choose to walk down the slope when he came in, it was a waste of time.

Suddenly, he walked up the slope. There was an exclamation behind him, and Wu Yan was slightly surprised in his heart, not knowing why these people were making such a fuss. In the eyes of everyone who were puzzled and gloating, Wu Yan walked into the peach forest.

"Why don't you dissuade this person?" A tourist who was waiting to enter the incense asked about the temple blessing.

"People who don't even worship Niangniang, remind him what to do, and when he suffers, he knows that Niangniang's divine power is indisputable." Miao Zhu pursed his lips, and his eyes were actually belted.

Happy.

As soon as I entered the peach forest, the surroundings were suddenly much darker, and the cold and swishing wind twisted left and right in the forest, making a low whimper. A layer of rotten leaves and branches was piled up in the forest, and a smell of decay came to the face. The peach blossoms on the tree are pale in the dark, like paper flowers with rough workmanship in a yin and yang shop.

Wu Yan tightened his clothes, lifted the bird egg in his arms, and stepped on the thick leaves.

The forest was lifeless, not a single living creature was in sight, and even the bee butterflies that disturbed the spring day disappeared, and only the rustle of footsteps could be heard.

On the black bark of the surrounding peach trees, wounds were cracked one after another, and reddish-brown peach gum flowed out, like human scars. The branches that stretch out in all directions form a thick fence, blocking the noise outside and the breath of spring.

Wu Yan snorted coldly, pulled out his broken knife, and walked towards the forest while chopping the branches that blocked the way. While walking, a gust of wind blew, and a few crimson peach blossoms fell on his shoulders.

The dense peach trees in front of him gradually thinned, and a small Mo in the forest appeared in front of him. Gently patting his arm, Wu Yan continued to walk forward. The road is getting smoother and smoother, as if someone is cleaning it from time to time, and the peach trees on both sides are also rejuvenated, and the rich floral fragrance is like aging, and it has been smelled for a long time, and it has the meaning of smoking.

At the end of the road, a small courtyard appeared, with white walls and gray tiles, the walls of the gatehouse were delicately carved, and the black gate was ajar. Walk up to the door and gently tap the knocker a few times.

There was a squeak, but the door opened, and a woman in green was sitting under a peach tree, quietly doing female red, ignoring Wu Gan's arrival.

The peach tree is like a coiled dragon, with a strange posture, stretching in all directions, accounting for half the size of the yard. The peach blossoms on the trees have gone, and there are peaches with red and tender mouths.

Wu Yan walked into the courtyard with a big grin, did not shy away from the difference between men and women, and looked at the woman with his arms folded.

After a pillar of incense, the woman finally finished the last stitch and gently bit off the silk thread with her teeth.

"Where did the guest officers come from, and why did they trespass on people's houses?" When the woman saw Wu Qian, she blamed her.

Wu Gen smiled coldly, "Since you invited me here, where did you come from?" ”

The woman's eyebrows are clear, her body is soft, and she has a melon seed face, but she also looks graceful. smiled slightly, "The guest officer is also a capable person, and he is not afraid of the little woman's tricks." Do you know that the peach forest here is my private property, and it is forbidden for people to pass. ”

Wu Yan sighed and brushed off the petals on his shoulders, "Who would have thought that the admired Peach Leaf Niangniang would look like this." ”

The woman chuckled and said, "So what, when you get here, even if you have some means, you can't help it." Either go back to the temple to worship, or stay here. ”

Wu Gen touched his nose, "I've been alone since I was a child, if I join the girl, I'm afraid that there will be no incense at home, so let's find someone else." Besides, the girl is so old that we are really not suitable. ”

The woman's apricot eyes glared, "I have been worshiped all these years, but I have more compassion, and I kindly left you a life, but I don't know how to lift it, so let's stay." When the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly rose, blowing petals all over the ground, and the flowers rained like butterflies, which were finely fragmented, blocking Wu Gan's sight.

After the wind passed, the scene had changed, and the delicate courtyard was gone, except for a peach tree covered like a cloud. @ The peaches on the tree turned into human heads, and seeing Wu Gen screaming loudly, the piercing sound came out, which couldn't help but make people upset.

The woman changed into a black dress and her face was cold. Stretched out a finger and pointed at Wu Gan, and suddenly several peach blossoms shot out. The delicate peach blossom was like a sharp arrow at this time, and the edge of the petals was as thin as a knife blade, making a sharp whistle that broke through the air.

Jingling, Wu Gan danced the knife to protect his body, and the peach blossoms hit the back of the knife, making a crisp sound.

The woman snorted coldly, her hands stretched out to the sides, the black skirt hung down, her body slowly floated, and her fair face was covered with a layer of green. At the same time, countless peach blossoms that fell to the ground also flew up with it, gathering more and more, and turned out to be a peach blossom cloud.

"Go." The woman screamed, the goose feathers and snow fell in the clouds, and thousands of peach blossoms fluttered one after another, and they went towards Wu Gan. The field suddenly shone with swords, and the sound was endless.

The clouds dispersed and the snow ended, and Wu Gan's figure appeared, unscathed. Since he set foot on the land of Zhao State, Wu Jian has worn the golden silkworm clothes on his body, plus the exquisite armor lined inside, and these methods of women are naturally useless.

。

The woman under the tree frowned, thought about it, stood on top of the peach tree, and with a move of both hands, countless peach blossoms flew from afar. With both hands, the peach blossoms in the air rotated, and finally turned faster and faster, becoming more than a dozen circles.

The woman patted the peach tree, and the human head on the tree fell and fell to the center of the circle, like a huge human eye. The peach blossoms kept spinning, and the head in the middle emitted a low rhythm, and Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and drowsy.

The woman screamed, and the circles made of these peach blossoms flew towards Hao. A strange fragrance wafted out of the circle, and the eye-like circle seemed to grow larger and larger. The bursts of floral fragrance make people want to indulge in it, and there is a beautiful scenery in front of them.

The woman's ethereal voice came, which seemed to whisper lingering in her ears, and Wu Gan's eyelids were heavy, and he stood motionless and sluggish.

"Even if I am a cultivator, it is difficult to resist, let alone a rough person with no aura. The appearance is quite good, and it is not bad to make flower fertilizer. The woman sat on the peach tree and shook her head slowly.

Suddenly, Wu Yan on the ground opened his eyes, his face was playful, and he was in front of the woman in the blink of an eye. The cold light of the broken knife flashed, and the woman was divided into two halves without saying a word. The body fell to the ground, but without a trace of blood, it gradually turned into a peach branch.

The circles in the air like human eyes, as if crazy, flew towards Wu Gan one after another, and the heads and teeth of the people in the middle clicked. At the same time, the black soil on the ground rolled, the ground rose and fell like waves, and dry hands came out of the soil.

Soon, carrion-corpses, white-boned skeletons slowly emerged from the soil, some with weapons in their hands. Look at the remnants of the clothes on the body, some strong and some young, there are dozens of them, and they are coming towards Wu Gan. The kind lady in the temple has so many unjust souls hidden under her.

Wu Gan cut off the rotting corpse and head in front of him, ignoring the woman who reappeared in the distance. @ The Divine Movement was launched, and after a soft sound, the person was already under the peach tree. Without dragging mud and water, Wu Gan avoided the obstructing branches, plunged the broken knife deep into the tree, and slashed down hard.

The body of the tree is very tough, like dozens of cowhides stacked on top of each other, and it is very obscure to start, and there is no feeling of destruction and decay at all.

The knife went down two feet, and then it was exhausted. As the woman screamed, the branches writhed and shot at Wu Gan. Completely ignoring the approaching rotting corpse, Wu Gen pulled out the broken knife from the tree, and next to the huge peach tree, a string of Wu Gen's afterimages appeared. The sword light almost formed a curtain of light, and countless broken leaves and stumps fell from the trees, like a summer afternoon shower.

This kind of little demon, that is, bullying mortals, is really no challenge to Wu Gan, who is used to fighting and is not afraid of charm.

"That's enough." The woman screamed in pain.
