"It is not a day's work to build the Jiangshen Temple and the establishment of the Water House..."

Xu Boqing arched his hand and said with a smile: "I will come forward to arrange for people to repair the Jiangshen Ancestral Temple, and I have to worry about my sister-in-law about Susu's Water Mansion." ”

"This matter..."

Ao Lan waved her hand casually, and then looked at the righteous girl on the side, as if she was emotional, and said jokingly: "As the saying goes, God appreciates food and eats, Su Su, you are God chasing after you to feed food." ”

Xu Susu knew how shallow his heels were before, and he also knew who such a deep blessing came from now.

She secretly glanced at her teacher, and said shyly: "The great kindness of the teacher and the godmother, the child has long remembered it in his heart, and he will never forget it in this life." ”

"It's not something to forget."

Ao Lan bowed her head slightly and said, "This broad road paved for you by your master is a fate that many cultivators can't dream of. ”

"Sister-in-law is serious."

Xu Boqing complimented in a teasing tone: "Without the full support of my sister-in-law, I would not be able to pave any road as a lonely person." ”

Xu Susu saw that his teacher and godmother excused each other, and while snickering at the corners of his lips, he also obediently poured wine and tea on the side...

Stay until you are full of wine and food, and talk about it.

Xu Boqing pondered for a while, and explained: "I don't understand the matter of Shuifu, Su Su, you have been following your godmother recently, learning how to coordinate a water." ”

Xu Susu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and asked, "Master, are you leaving?" ”

"Not bad."

Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and then explained: "There are many mountains and rivers in Jiangling Mansion, and the matter of repairing the ancestral temple should not be delayed sooner rather than later, and as a teacher, I have to explore the people of Jiangling Mansion to prescribe the right medicine." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing."

"Su Su is here with me, you can rest assured..."

Ao Lan also knew that her little uncle was entangled in mundane things, so she didn't keep it much, and when she saw that the righteous girl seemed to be reluctant, she quipped: "What? Is it reluctant to give up your master? Still don't want to be here with me? ”

"No, no..."

Xu Susu's cheeks were like fire, and he said sneeringly: "The child is worried that the teacher is alone, and there is no one around him who is not used to serving tea and pouring water. ”

"Don't worry..."

Ao Lan was relieved: "Your master has traveled to Hongchen for many years, and he is not used to it? ”

“……”

Xu Boqing bowed slightly, but secretly thought in his heart, sister-in-law, you look down on Xu someone, I really can't get used to the days when there are no beauties around me.

"Your godmother is not far from Jiangling Mansion, and the location of your Water Mansion is also in Jiangling Mansion, so you can go to find a teacher at any time if you want to."

His voice paused, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Besides, when the statue of the ancestral temple is built, even if you don't come to find a teacher, you have to come to find you as a teacher." ”

"Okay then."

Although Xu Susu was reluctant, she still nodded obediently.

"Boqing, wait a minute..."

Ao Lan's voice paused, as if she had thought of something, and left her seat after standing up, as if she was looking for something.

After a while, she returned to her seat with a red gourd in her hand, and said with a smile: "I know that you are good wine, this gourd contains some old wine, which can be kept on the road to quench your thirst." ”

With that, he casually threw the gourd to the past.

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing was shocked after taking the gourd.

Xu is because the red gourd contains wine, the hand is heavy, and it is a little warm, and you can even see that the treasure on this gourd is overflowing, and it is obviously not ordinary.

He rubbed it in his hand for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this gourd treasure is overflowing, not like a mortal thing." ”

"It's not a treasure."

Ao Lan didn't hide it, and explained: "This gourd was originally made of a spiritual root, and although it is small on the outside, it can accommodate the water of rivers and lakes inside.

Moreover, the gourd contains an innate essence of plants and trees, and the ordinary mountain spring water can be turned into a nectar spirit spring in just a few days, which is suitable for holding wine. ”

“……”

Xu Boqing listened to the sour...

I tried my best to get the magic weapon, thinking that I had to save the 'face' of being a master, but I still owe my disciples a master gift.

But the gourd that holds the wine is a treasure made of spiritual roots!

My sister-in-law said, 'It's not a treasure', it must be humble, just listening to what 'spiritual root' and 'innate grass and tree essence' are not comparable to ordinary magic weapons...

He rubbed the gourd in his hand carefully, frowned slightly and asked, "Sister-in-law, will this gourd be too valuable?" ”

"Precious?"

Ao Lan glanced at him with her eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Boqing, when did you become so young?" ”

Her voice paused, her tone softened, and she said: "This thing is useless to me, you left in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to send you, this time I can't forget it." ”

"Since it was given by my sister-in-law, then I would be disrespectful..."

Xu Boqing didn't pretend to excuse himself, but added a new label of 'rich woman' to Ao Lan's 'sister-in-law', 'surviving person', 'dragon king' and other labels in his heart.

Seeing that he accepted the gourd, Ao Lan's expression softened a little, pursed the corners of her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law knows that you are entangled in the world, so I won't keep you anymore, and I can often come to play in my spare time." ”

"As it should be."

Xu Boqing drank all the wine in the cup, and he didn't mean to stay longer, and turned into a flash of light and left.

The pearl in the Dragon Palace is illuminated, there is no difference between day and night, but out of the Tongtian River, only then do you realize that it is a dark night with sparse moon and stars outside.

He stood on the surface of the river and pulled out the wine gourd given by his sister-in-law, and the mouth of the gourd not only wafted out the unique spicy taste of the wine, but also accompanied by a surging fragrance of plants and trees...

Just smelling the taste, I felt that my tongue was full of relish, so I simply raised my head and tasted it in the moonlight, and then said: "The scenery is beautiful, the wine is beautiful, the people are more beautiful, wonderful~"

With that, the figure disappeared into the night......

Gangneung Province...

At the foot of Xiao'an Mountain, there is a dilapidated river shrine...

A few years ago, for some reason, the statues of the Jiang Shen Shrine in Gangneung Prefecture were all broken overnight, and the government of Gangneung Prefecture then came forward to put the Jiang Shen Shrine into the category of obscene shrines, and it was strictly forbidden for the people to worship the Jiang God.

There is no shop in front of the village and behind the village, and after the Jiangshen Shrine at the foot of the mountain is deserted, it has become a temporary foothold for pedestrians and merchants in the past.

At this time, under the tree outside the Jiang Shen Shrine, there were a few mules and horses tied to them, as well as a few boxes of goods, and in the ancestral hall were two piles of firewood, fireworks and birds.

Eight middle-aged dart masters in short and energetic suits sat scattered next to the larger firewood pile, and they baked the butchers and dry food they carried by the fire, and there were waist knives beside them.

There were only two young people sitting next to the small firewood, a Confucian with thin lips and a hooked nose and a long robe, and a scholar servant with a bookcase beside him...

Although they all spent the night in the Jiang Shrine, the two groups of people were clearly distinguished, and they were obviously not all the way.

At this very moment...

There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the Jiang Shrine, and the Confucian looked outside with a slight frown, while several dart masters glanced at each other, and they all stopped chatting and looked over.

It can be vaguely seen that the person who came is a middle-aged man in a white shirt with an elegant bearing, and there seems to be a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

The person who came was Xu Boqing, who had changed his appearance...

It was already dark, and considering that the governor of Gangneung Mansion might have fallen asleep, he did not rush to look for it, but searched in the territory of Gangneung Mansion...

Later, he noticed that there were some fireworks in the dilapidated Jiangshen Shrine, and he had nothing to do, so he pressed the cloud head, thinking of exploring the people of Jiangling Mansion by the way.

Xu Boqing saw that the two groups of people in the Jiang Shrine were looking at him, and arched his hand and smiled: "Xu passed by this place alone, thinking about finding a place to stay overnight after dark, but he never thought that there was a master in this place, and he looked forward to you Haihan where he was disturbed. ”

"Mr. Xu is polite."

The head of the dart master stood up and bowed in return, and said, "This Jiang Shrine is a borderless land, and we are just here a moment early, so we can't talk about disturbing it." ”

"It's inconvenient to go out."

The Confucian scholar with thin lips and hooked nose also echoed: "Sir, as long as he is not a thief who seeks money and kills, he can find a place to rest by himself." ”

"Thank you very much..."

Xu Boqing smiled and arched his hand, and then walked into the ancestral hall.

The idol in the main hall has long been broken, and even the eucalyptus table has been cracked and used as firewood.

He looked for a corner and pushed away the dry grass, but saw that there was still a small half-broken idol lying under the dry grass, which happened to be half of the face of the leper old man.

His expression couldn't help but be a little dazed, as if the demon punishment by the Qianling River was just yesterday.

He casually kicked the half of the mud fetal statue aside, and deliberately said: "Tsk, this Jiang Shrine has been an ancestral shrine in Jiangling Mansion for decades, but in the end, it can't even keep a piece of mud tire." ”

The two groups of people who were resting glanced at him with strange expressions when they heard this, and the leader of the dart master asked, "Mr. Xu is not from our Jiangling Mansion?" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Boqing pretended to be surprised and asked, "How did this old brother see that Xu was not from Jiangling Mansion?" ”

"Hehehehe..."

The dart master explained with a smile: "Even I, a rough person, know that the Jiang Shrine has been established in our Jiangling Mansion for more than two hundred years, but Mr. Xu said that it has been decades.

So I guess that Mr. Xu probably knows some about Gangneung Mansion, but he is not from our Gangneung Mansion. ”

"I see."

Xu Boqing pretended to be suddenly enlightened, arched his hand and smiled: "Contemptible Xu Boqing, ancestral home of Jianyang, came to Jiangling Mansion once a few years ago, I wanted to show off, but I never wanted to be ugly." ”

"Jianyang? Gangnam's? ”

The dart master's eyes suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something, and asked meaningfully: "I take the liberty of asking, which religion does Mr. Xu believe?" ”

"Which ??? teach"

Xu Boqing was slightly stunned when he heard this.

I deliberately said the wrong thing just now, thinking that if someone accosted me, I could take advantage of the situation to chat.

It's really as I thought, but why can't I understand this?

Seeing his distracted posture, the dart master was also slightly stunned, and asked, "Mr. Xu is not from heaven?" ”

"Heaven?"

Xu Boqing frowned and pondered......

'Kingdom of Heaven' is the name of the rebellious country in Jiangnan, and behind the rebellion in Jiangnan is the White Lotus Sect demons, and the White Lotus Sect demons are used to confuse the people's hearts, and the method used is to persuade people to believe in religion.

According to the dossier found in Xichang, in the past few years, Jiangnan believed in various folk teachings such as: incense burning religion, mixed yuan religion, Hongyang religion, etc., as many as dozens!

When this dart master heard that his ancestral hometown was Jianyang, he first asked himself which religion he believed in, and then asked if he was a person from heaven, obviously mistaking himself for a person from the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of this, Xu Boqing explained with a wry smile: "Although Xu's ancestral home is in Jianyang, he left a few years ago, and he is not from heaven. ”

“……”

The dart master also realized that he was thinking too much, and arched his hand and said with a smile: "Recently, the folk teachings of Jiangling Mansion have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and I hope Mr. Xu will not blame me." ”

“……”
