Li Youcai was very curious, and leaned over to see what Chen Wenqing was writing.

As a former Confucian disciple, Li Youcai practiced Confucianism and Taoism for decades. Although the talent is limited, and the cultivation only stays in the realm of Confucianism and Taoism, the ability to appreciate poetry is not lacking.

Therefore, when Li Youcai saw that the entire poem was slowly written by Chen Wenqing, the expression on his face became more and more surprised, and in the end, he burst into tears.

"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear."

"Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

Li Youcai read out the song "Jiang Xue" word by word. The voice was both excited, but also a little lonely and gloomy. Tears rolled in his eyes, and his round chubby face cried and laughed.

"Senior brother, I suspect that you are not human at all. You should be the reincarnation of a poet! ”

"This poem does not say that there is no one who will come after, but there is no one who should have been started before." Li Youcai cried with joy, pulling Chen Wenqing for a night and not letting go.

"The younger brother is serious. I also taught this poem by heaven, not to mention that I don't know Confucianism and Taoism at all, so it is just right to pass it on to my junior brother at this time. Chen Wenqing said lightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I don't know, can the junior brother rely on this poem to obtain the recognition of Confucianism, Taoism and righteousness in one fell swoop?" ”

"Senior brother is not a Confucian person, and he may not know the value of this poem. Senior brother is really ashamed, it is better for you to try to start cultivating Confucianism, senior brother! I believe that with the talent of the senior brother, maybe he can double cultivate Confucianism and Taoism. Reach the point where Taoism is true and Confucianism and Taoism are holy. ”

Chen Wenqing didn't expect Li Youcai to still think about himself at this time, and he was moved in his heart, so he said seriously: "Three thousand weak water, only take one scoop." The Tao is vast, and now I am just getting started, but it is not suitable for me to practice Confucianism at the same time. I'll think about it later when I have the chance. ”

"Senior brother, don't refuse again! I should protect the Dharma for you, and you can try to see if you can rely on this poem to gain the recognition of Confucianism, Taoism, and righteousness. If we succeed, our chances of completing the task are greatly increased. ”

"This is the greatest help to Senior Brother!" Chen Wenqing looked directly into Li Youcai's eyes and said heavily.

Li Youcai nodded when he heard the words at this time, and did not refuse. It's just that I secretly decided in my heart that I must protect Chen Wenqing's thoughtfulness and become a qualified protector.

......

Following.

Everyone has come to the second mission destination, Wangjiazhuang.

Wangjiazhuang is located more than 200 miles west of Liuchen County, and is a large village with more than 2,000 people. It is said that Wangjiazhuang has been engaged in ice making and selling for more than 300 years.

Of course, Wangjiazhuang is now not limited to ice making and selling ice, whether it is an inn, cloth, tea, salt, and iron smelting. It's just that ice-making is an ancestral tradition, so when it comes to Wangjiazhuang, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Wangjiazhuang's ice-making ancestral industry.

At this time, Wang Ji Inn.

"Well, it's really refreshing to be able to eat a bite of ice on such a hot day!" Li Youcai picked up the sea bowl, swallowed it along with ice cubes and ice water, and let out a hearty boo.

Chen Wenqing sat on the second floor of the inn, looking at the sparse pedestrians downstairs, and said with a smile: "That's true." Wangjiazhuang's "ice eating" is a must, and I am very curious about how Wangjiazhuang makes ice on this hot day. Could it be that Wangjiazhuang also raised monks and mastered a first-hand ice technique, which was specially used to make ice? ”

"Senior brother said and laughed, how can Wangjiazhuang raise an ice monk? Not to mention the extremely rare Ice Monks themselves. Ice making is the foundation of Wangjiazhuang's ancestral life, and it is indeed difficult for outsiders to know. ”

"What the junior brother said is", Chen Wenqing smiled, and then said: "Since everyone is resting, then we will not delay any longer, and go directly to see the elder of the Wang family Zhuang clan!" ”

The Wangjiazhuang ancestral hall is easy to find.

Everyone asked casually, and then went to the largest and most magnificent building in Wangjiazhuang, and about half a stick of incense took time, and came to the ancestral hall of Wangjiazhuang.

"The poor Dao is the Taoist Chen Wenqing of Zixia Temple, the Taoist number is Chunyangzi, this is my junior brother Zhengyangzi. We were invited to investigate the Wangjiazhuang incident. Chen Wenqing said to the elder of the Wang family in front of him.

"The old decay Wang Chang, who is the head of the Wang family, led the old people of the Wang family Zhuang clan to see the immortal chief! The old man has been waiting for a long time, and it is not an honor to see the two immortal chiefs today, please let the two immortal elders enter. ”

Chen Wenqing followed Wang Chang into the ancestral hall of Wangjiazhuang, and after everyone sat down, Chen Wenqing immediately asked:

"The matter of Wangjiazhuang, can the patriarch talk about it in detail, Poor Dao still doesn't know much about this matter."

Wang Chang respectfully heard this, stood up and said, "It should be, it should be." ”

"About seven days ago. Zhuang Min told the captive chickens and sheep that they were bitten to death by something, and there were two deep black tooth marks on their necks. Moreover, the dead chickens and sheep were drained of their blood and turned into dried corpses. Some villagers have reported that this should be done by zombies. ”

Wang Chang continued: "At the beginning, the old man and the elders of the clan did not take this matter to heart, but only regarded it as the act of a zombie walking corpse passing by accidentally. Because, there are several similar incidents in Wangjiazhuang every year. ”

"It wasn't until later that more and more chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep died, and even some villagers were attacked overnight. So far, there have been thirteen homicides, and the matter is beyond control. The matter has come to this point, and I have to send someone to invite Zixiaguan to come forward to deal with it. ”

The royal patriarch looked sad, his withered hands were on crutches, and his green muscles were exposed, and he was tapping on the bluestone floor with a "dong dong" sound, and his emotions were quite excited.

Seeing this, Chen Wenqing's expression was unmoved, and said, "Is there anything else the old patriarch has forgotten to explain?" Poor Dao once heard the Foreign Affairs Hall tell that the ancestral tomb of Wangjiazhuang seems to have been dug a hole, but the bones of the ancestor of the Wang family are missing in the coffin. In this matter, presumably Poor Dao is not wrong, right? ”

Wang Chang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and after hesitating for a while, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Zixiaguan was so well-informed. Now that the Dao Master already knows, there is no need for the old decay to hide it. Otherwise, I will no longer be sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, and I will be sorry for the people of Wangjiazhuang who died for no reason. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wenqing nodded, and said, "Please also ask the old patriarch to come carefully, so that it is convenient for the poor road to let go of the deeds." ”

"Alas......" the royal patriarch let out a long sigh and said, "This matter is a long story. About 200 years ago, my Wangjiazhuang was a small village with only about 70 households. The villagers were destitute and hungry. I don't know where the ancestor of my Wang family got the half-volume Daomen fragment. ”

"From the fragments, I learned that when a person dies, as long as there is only half a breath left, there is no breath. When buried in the ground, choose a pure yin place, then you can turn into a zombie after a few decades. And the ancestors of my Wang family willingly turned into zombies and benefited the Wang family for a hundred years! ”

When Chen Wenqing heard the words at this time, his face changed, and he suddenly realized, and said angrily: "Could it be that the ancestral ice-making method of Wang Jiazhuang is based on the extremely cold air emitted by the Wang family's zombies?" ”

Thinking of this, Chen Wenqing's stomach tumbled, and he almost didn't vomit it directly.

"Gross... Vomit..."Li Youcai covered his mouth when he heard this, but he was already retching on the side.

"Using the extremely cold air emitted by zombies to make ice is simply harmful! The cold emitted by zombies will make people's yin qi aggravate after a long time, and the cold will enter the body, and the weak and sick people will even die! Chen Wenqing pointed to the elders of the Wang family, and was furious for a while.

"It's worthy of Zixia Guan Gaodao, the old man has only said half of it, and he has already calculated this matter!" Wang Chang looked desolate and said: "My Wang family has ancestral training in front of me, but no one in my Wang family can eat ice. Yes, nothing happened for so many years. ”

"It just doesn't make sense! Wangjiazhuang has an ancestral precept not to eat ice, but it hyped up the benefits of eating ice. Nowadays, Wangjiazhuang ice making is widely spread. There are even people who come from thousands of miles to eat a mouthful of ice, is there any shame in waiting? Chen Youcai stopped retching and glared angrily.

"Alas... This fat Taoist is right, we are indeed ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors. If it weren't for being too greedy, it wouldn't be like this. The Wang family has ancestral teachings, and the ice production will stop for 200 years, and the ancestral land of the Wang family must be burned to the ground, otherwise there may be disasters. ”

Wang Chang continued to sigh and said, "However, Wangjiazhuang made a fortune by making ice. Ice making is a huge profit, and the clansmen can't bear to burn the ancestral business of the Wang family. Who knows, disaster will come! ”

Chen Wenqing pointed to the elders present, shook his head and said, "Zombies are born from the resentment of heaven and earth. Immortal, immortal, immortal, and immortal, he was abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man outside the six realms of sentient beings. Wandering, displaced. ”

"For the sake of their descendants, the ancestors of the Wang family were willing to sacrifice themselves to turn into zombies, and after death, they used their bodies to exude cold air to help Wangjiazhuang make ice and make wealth. From this point of view, although this matter is not recognized by the poor Dao, the behavior of the ancestors of the Wang family is still admirable. ”

"It's a pity that future generations are too greedy. He didn't pity the hard work of his ancestors at all, and the ancestors of the Wang family would never have imagined that the descendants were all wolf-hearted and mercenary! Chen Wenqing continued to reprimand, "As descendants, you have never thought of freeing your ancestors as soon as possible, but are blindly worried about the damage to your interests!" ”

"Can't bear the burning of the Wang family's ancestral business? is mercenary, and it is also said that Ling Ran is so righteous, and the poor road is an eye-opener today! ”

"Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice! That's what you're talking about! ”

Chen Wenqing scolded angrily, took a long breath, and then said: "If you can, Wangjiazhuang will not accept this task!" ”

Wang Chang, as the patriarch of Wangjiazhuang, has been ashamed of what Chen Wenqing said. At this time, when I heard Chen Wenqing say that this task was going to be abandoned, I was suddenly terrified in my heart, and said in a lamented voice:

"We have already realized our mistake, and I implore the Taoist to save the people of my Wangjiazhuang. Otherwise, more than 2,000 lives of my Wangjiazhuang, together with 200 years of hard work, will all be ruined because of the Taoist! ”

Chen Wenqing looked at all this coldly when he heard this, his face was like frost, and he said coldly: "Heh! Is this the beginning of a moral kidnapping? ”

"Wangjiazhuang's century-old foundation was ruined by the poor road?"

"Wait, shameless!"
