Qinan Prefecture, Qu County.

The red sun in the early morning shone in front of the uneven houses, and before the city gate was opened, there were manure trucks passing by the door of every house, spending a penny or two to buy the gold juice placed at the door, sweeping away the filth in the city and starting a new day.

When the red sun slowly rose, the water trucks passed by the doors of every house one after another, and when they saw the people with water signs hanging at the door, they stopped the car and knocked on the door to sell water to the people who had no wells at home.

Of course, the people who are next to the river in the city don't need it, they eat the river water. It is rumored that the big river in Quxian County has a spirit river where the dragon king flies, and the water in the river is naturally spiritual water.

And next to the river, there is a tall dragon king temple.

When the morning sun shines on the temple plaque of the Dragon King Temple, you will hear a "creak~", and the red lacquer door will be pushed open, and a woman in her thirties who has not yet coiled her hair will come out.

When a naughty child sees a woman, he will run up to her with a smile and say, "Aunt Yue, ask for candy!" Ask for sugar. ”

The woman would smile and take out a small basket from behind the door, which contained small sugar pills, which she would give to the children.

When the sugar pill is eaten in her mouth, the sweet feeling goes to her heart, and the children will disperse in a hurry after thanking her.

Every first and fifteenth day of the new year, Siyue will send some sugar pills to satisfy the hunger of this group of poor children.

When she looks at the children running through the houses in the sun, she feels innocent.

"Miss Siyue, it's early."

A voice woke her up, but it was a temple across the river, and Zhao Banxian was calling her.

Siyue smiled lightly: "Morning, Zhao Miaozhu, you have to be idle today?" ”

"Haha, that's for sure." Zhao Banxian is only forty years old, but his appearance looks very young, with long hair on his temples and a divine robe. "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, these people all go to worship the land of the city god, and the gods of our family are not allowed to worship."

Siyue smiled, "Then why don't Zhao Miaozhu go and join in the fun and see the Chenghuang Temple Fair?" ”

"Hey, how can the Chenghuang Temple Fair be as lively as our Longliu Temple Fair? The children in this market all know: Longliu is not separated, Longliu is a family. Next month is June 6th, so I'm busy. At that time, Miss Siyue, you are only afraid that you will not be able to be busy, but do you need help? ”

Si Yue politely refused, and said, "It's time to do your homework!" ”

As soon as she said this, she took the opportunity to return to the Dragon King Temple.

On the other side of the river, Zhao Banxian always wanted to be close to her, and his thoughts Siyue also understood.

It's just that Zhao Banxian, as a disciple of Liu Xian, must be from the same immortal family if he wants to get married, but in this way, the question of who is the master of the two immortal families will occur.

Moreover, Si Yue never thought of marrying mortals again, she made up her mind not to marry in this life and serve the Dragon King for the rest of her life!

The temple door will not be closed every day until it is dark and sunset, and thieves and thieves do not dare to come to these two temples to start.

Siyue walked back to the temple and sat in front of the statue of the god to recite the scriptures silently, called the "Dragon King Sutra".

"I am facing the heavens today, and Baoding burns pure incense. Go up to the three realms to nine days, down to the five lakes and the four seas. Five famous mountains and water mansions, ten continents and three islands and fairy mountains. May the rain be cast with grace and light, and the nectar will be poured to help the world. Incense offerings - the void of all the gods and other beings in the past. At that time, the Dao monarch used to be above the three days, and he ...... to view the world"

The words and verses floated to the mountains beyond the mountain with her chanting accompanied by the green smoke curling up in front of the statue of the dragon king.

Qingcang has a stronger and stronger desire for mountains, rivers and seas, he wants to plunge into the rivers, lakes and seas, and wants to enter the sea to play in the water.

The prayer verses of the human woman in the temple sounded very pleasant to him, like a dragon falling into a dream, opening up the world of dragons in his mind.

Finally, in the middle of a morning, Qingcang decided to leave.

Jiao out of the black mountain white clouds, snake pangu pond green miasma falls.

Qingcang came to the Valley of the Snake King and said goodbye to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan sat on the boulder, quietly looking at a Taoist scripture, the sun shining on his body was soft and elegant, with a sense of tranquility.

Qingcang turned into a young man, the young man's green robe was like ink, his face was like a crown of jade, he relaxed his steps and stood behind Bai Lan and didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, Bai Lan on the stone turned a page of the book and slowly read a poem in the book: "Sixu Ninefold True Dragon comes out, and a wash of the ancient world is empty." You've grown up and are no longer the little snake you used to be.

It is a divine dragon one day, entrenched in the sky, raising clouds and rain, and the dragon travels the world.

But you must always remember that you were not born a dragon, but heaven and earth made dragons, and only with the will of heaven and earth can you have your way to become a dragon. Therefore, always remember that the dragon is born of heaven and earth, is the spirit of heaven and earth, and is the god of all beings. ”

Qingcang nodded and said, "Brother teachings, Qingcang keep it in mind!" ”

Bai Lan put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked in front of him, looked at the heroic young man, and chuckled: "Longxiao Shenzhou shook hundreds of rivers, traveling all over thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains. The heavens have a great responsibility on their shoulders, and they have gone down to the earth. Can you withstand the dangers ahead? ”

"I will not forget my original intention and live up to my brother's trust." Qingcang said solemnly.

"Heh~" Bai Lan smiled: "If you can't do it, it doesn't matter."

Just walk, and look ahead, there is light on the road. Looking back, there was me behind me. ”

Qingcang's eyes were touched, and he knelt down on his knees to Bai Lan, "The eldest brother is like a father, Qingcang travels far away, and my brother is cherished!" ”

Bai Lan smiled: "Go, the mountains and rivers are waiting for you." ”

Qingcang turned into a human Jiao, straight into the pool, startled a pool of water rippling.

Bai Lan stood in the sunshine and said to himself with a smile: "When the child grows up, there will be a time to travel far away." ”

Qingcang swam from the deep mountains and small pools to the big river, and went all the way north to Qu County, the starting point of his dragon.

On this day, it is the sixth day of June in the world.

The streets are bustling with people. The pilgrims in front of the Dragon King Temple and the Liuxian Temple on the riverside are endless, the hawkers of all walks of life outside the temple set up stalls and walk the alleys, and the pilgrims and people happily visit the temple fair, worship the dragon willow.

Some old people made some dragons, willow candy figures, and shadow puppet plays, which attracted the joy of the children. There are also all kinds of pendant jewelry, strings of strings, each of which is hand-woven by them, and the red thread needles are all industrious.

There is also a river, there is a dragon willow boat play, there is a dragon boat and a willow fang, the dragon boat plays in the water, the willow fang long song, and the female courtesans also stand in front of the gods.

The children carried all kinds of papier-mâché dragon fish lamps and long willow scarves, running in the streets and alleys, singing familiar songs: "By the Qu River, worship the dragon willows." The willow is in front, and the dragon is in the back. Xian Ping'an, Wang Changxing. Liu Xian is rich, Long Wang is expensive, Long Liu is not separated, Long Liu is a family. ”

On this day, the incense in the Longliu Temple was flourishing, and there were not a few pilgrims in the east of Quchenghuang.

On this day, Siyue was busy until dusk, the pilgrims had gradually dispersed, and the sunset passed through the gate of the Dragon King Temple and shone on the tall statue of the Dragon King.

Si Yue rubbed her waist, even if there was no fortune telling job in the Dragon King Temple, she was very busy, and she wanted to accept a few disciples, but it was difficult for the girl's family to support, if there was really any miracle, most of them would be thrown away, buried, and drowned as demons......

She was just about to close the temple door, but she saw a slender hand blocking the door, and a sunny voice came: "Pilgrims are coming, why doesn't the temple welcome them?" ”

Si Yue was stunned in her heart, since the other party said this, she had no choice but to open the door and let him go to the pillar incense.

"In that case, the pilgrims should come in quickly, the dragon king god does not like incense at night."

A young man in a green robe walked into the temple, looking at a frog with a dragon head and a horned snake body in the tall Dragon King Temple, and was a little stunned.

"Here, incense. If you come late, I won't charge you incense money, and the poor people in our Dragon King Temple can afford to worship it. Siyue handed him a pillar of incense.

The young man looked at the incense handed to him and was stunned, pointed to himself in some surprise, and then pointed to the incense, "Do you want me to put on incense?" ”

"This little boy, why don't you go to the Dragon King Temple for incense?" Si Yue looked at him with a strange expression.

"No need, I'm just curious about the Dragon King Temple, come in and take a look."

The boy waved his hand and turned to leave.

Si Yue sighed: "Which young master of this family is so ignorant? When the incense is burned, there is no reason not to worship. ”

As she spoke, she lifted the incense and knelt down, inserting it into the incense. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly noticed something in the kneeling futon.

Siyue reached out to open the futon suspiciously, but it was a cyan scale.

She was shocked in her heart, where did this come from?

By the way, that boy just now!

Si Yue hurriedly ran out of the temple gate, looked around but found that the young man was long gone, only the lights outside the door were bright, and the men and women by the river lit a lantern of the Longliu River to illuminate the Qu River.

She held the green scales in her hand and muttered to herself, "It must be the Dragon King!" It must be the dragon king god himself! ”

……

The endless lights of the river, as shown in the picture never stop the years.

Life is short for decades, and it is like a big dream.

When the morning sun rose and shone in front of the old temple gate, a gray-haired old woman opened the temple door, and the children in front of the door waited and shouted again: "Granny Yue, Granny Yue, ask for candy!" Ask for candy! ”

A smile appeared on Granny Yue's wrinkled face, "Don't worry, don't worry. Xiaoyue, come out and get candy for the children. ”

"Hey, okay." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl carried a small basket and walked up to the children and grabbed a handful of sugar pills.

On the other side of the river, the old and twilight Zhao Banxian shouted: "Mrs. Yue, why are you lazy today." ”

Granny Yue smiled: "Old, old." In the future, I'll let Xiaoyue come out to make the main incense. ”

"Yes, then it's time for my disciples to be out of the school."

Next to the Qu River, the Longliu Temple has been passed down year after year, and the mother-in-law of the month has lived for 99 years, just missing a hundred, such a person is said to be blessed, because the last year of the lack will be counted as the October of the reincarnation in the next life.

A hundred generations change the sky, and the king of Hades will not leave anyone.

……

Fengdu country, a big river, the water waves are monstrous, the wind and rain are like injections, at the bottom of the river, a catfish spirit is fighting for life and death with a green python that is half a Jiao and half a snake......

In the Valley of the Snake King, Bai Lan, who has been precipitated in the years, is almost 400 years old.

His demonic power has also reached six hundred years, but he has not caused the Transformation Tribulation.

Bai Lan was not in a hurry, he still continued his ordinary cultivation life for a hundred years.

Until, one morning, Bai Lan took off the gourd hanging in the cave and the true yang mirror and walked out of the mountain, and the thick mountain fog spontaneously retreated on both sides of him, opening a clearly visible mountain road.

Outside the mountain, two herb pickers climbed the steep slope of the mountain rock with bamboo baskets on their backs to look for herbs.

"Brother Da Heng!" One of the younger herb pickers approached the older herb pickers and whispered, "Brother Da Heng, do you feel that something is staring at us?" ”

Daheng was digging a white beard grass, and when he heard this, he felt a chill behind him, and the sun and shadows in the forest at noon were staggered, and the time when the yang energy was at its peak was also the time when it was most prone to evil energy.

When the peasant children want to go out to play at noon, they are strictly ordered by their parents and elders, especially in the summer. The peasants spread the word "At noon, the ghost shows its head." At this time, the yang energy is the heaviest, and the yin energy is the heaviest in some places.

Daheng sweated profusely because of Yusheng's words, "Yusheng, don't talk nonsense." ”

"No, Brother Da Heng, I really feel like something is staring at my back." The young Yu Sheng said with a trill.

Da Heng tried to muster up his courage after hearing this, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, there is a brother." ”

Saying that, he tried hard and shouted: "Where did you come from, filthy thing with no conscience, call your grandfather, I caught you and stuffed you into the......"

A series of rough shouts and curses resounded in the mountains and forests, echoing with human voices, as if they had some popularity.

Da Heng felt a tap on the shoulder, turned around and said, "What's wrong?" ”

He looked back, only to find that the fish behind him was gone.

Da Heng's heart twitched suddenly, only to feel that his breathing was about to stagnate, Yu Sheng was gone, who was patting him on the shoulder just now?

A cool breath rushed from the soles of his feet to his brain, and he continued to shout and scold loudly without thinking about it, and kept saying all the swear words he knew in his life for a moment, until he was tired and his throat was smoking.

Peasant rumors: If you encounter something unclean, you will shout insults, so that those things will know that they are not easy to mess with and retreat.

His insulting echoes echoed all around, and the sound of Hengsheng's breathing.

"Giggle~"

A child's voice laughed, mixed with the echo of Hengsheng's insults, faintly.

Heng Sheng's hair stood on end in an instant, and the courage he mustered up was finally discharged.

He shouted in horror: "Yusheng! Yusheng! Where are you? Is there anybody? Help me! Help me! ”

Even if he didn't see anything, Hengsheng was so frightened that he fled frantically through the forest.

"Whew~Whew~Whew~"

Hengsheng ran for a long time, and the cold on his tired sweaty body was also dispelled a lot, he thought that he should run away now, right?

But when he looked up, he suddenly found that the surroundings were still the same place where Yu Sheng disappeared just now.

"Whew~"

A gust of wind blew, and the branches and leaves collided and made a soft "rustle" sound, as if something was scurrying between the leaves.

"Giggle~"

The strange voice sounded again, this time more clearly and truly, Daheng looked around in horror, feeling the laughter getting closer and closer, as if something was rushing towards him from an unknown perspective.

Human perception is so strange, even if you don't see it, you can always predict something, this kind of horror is even more devastating.

"Woo woo woo~"

The baby's laughter turned into a cry, and the sun around the forest was hidden by layers of dark mist, and noon turned into midnight!

"Ah~!"

A sharp and piercing sound sounded, and from far and near, a pale palm with ten fingers and slender fingers reached out from the back of his head and covered his eyes.

At this moment, Da Heng only felt that his chest suddenly warmed up, and he hurriedly took it out, it was a talisman, which his mother asked for from the Liuxian Temple a few days ago!

The yin qi around him instantly receded a lot, and the palms that stretched out from the back of his head disappeared.

Da Heng was so frightened that he almost collapsed, he held on to the last talisman and walked out in horror.

At that moment, the sound of breathing came from behind him.

"Brother Da Heng, wait for me! Wait for me! ”

He looked back, but saw that it was Yusheng who walked over with a limp, "Brother Da Heng, I didn't stand firm just now, and I rolled down and fainted." Brother Da Heng, why is your face so ugly? ”

Da Heng trembled, he saw that it was Yusheng, as if he had something to rely on, after all, one person and two people are still different.

"Brother Da Heng, come and help me, I have a leg injury and I can't walk."

Daheng hurriedly said: "Okay! Good! ”

He took two steps, and suddenly stopped, and his heart tugged again.

"What's wrong? Brother Daheng? Yu Sheng wondered, "Come here?" ”

"Yusheng." Daheng's voice trembled: "You... Why didn't you speak? ”

"Huh? Is that actually the case? Yu Sheng suddenly laughed.

Daheng retreated in horror, his eyes already red and bloody.

Yu Sheng chuckled and said, "After all, the first time people are human, they can't remember everything." ”

By the end, his voice had become childish, like that of a baby.

In the mountains, Bai Lan carried a gourd around his waist, a true yang mirror on his chest, and walked calmly in the mountains with a long flute in both hands.

It's just that I don't know when I walked, the clouds darkened, the sky disappeared, and for a while, it seemed to be late at night.

Bai Lan was unmoved and continued to move forward slowly.

"Giggle~"

The sound of immature children's laughter came out, accompanied by the crying sound like a night cat's spring, and the combination of crying and laughing made people's hearts go crazy.

Suddenly, the strange sound was much louder, and it was extremely piercing, and something rushed in the dim mist.

Bai Lan stopped, came back to his senses, and glanced at the mist.

In an instant, the screaming stopped, and the fog receded, but the sky was still dim as the netherworld.

On the west side of Ten Thousand Snake Mountain, hundreds of miles away, there is an old locust tree, and there is a woman's bones buried under the root of the tree, and there are small soil bags, and in each small soil bag is a small baby girl.

The woman under the locust tree was still pregnant with three children in her bones, and was tortured by a Gu worm that burrowed into her body and devoured her heart and flesh for nine days and nine nights before dying.

A man covered in dirty blood let out a strange laugh, "Ghost Mother Gu, take you to explore the path first, don't let me down, otherwise your three children will have to suffer!" ”

The branches and leaves of the old locust tree swayed gently, and a crow flew down on the branches.
