[Shuili Township under the jurisdiction of Fucheng].

Qi Wufu looked at the address left by the murdered girl at that time, and still pinched a trick to get out of the door, but when he walked out of the door, he turned around and saw the gate of the city, above the main gate of the city, there was a very powerful city tower, and the highest place in the main hall was lying on the left and right There were majestic bronze statues of divine beasts.

Mocking the wind likes to look far away, while Pepper is disgusted by enemies entering his lair.

On the city gate and tower, there are many statues.

But Qi Wufu always felt that the mockery on the gate of Zhongzhou City was a little strange.

I always feel like I'm alive.,It seems like I've just looked at myself.。

Then he immediately turned his head away.

Now his eyes are looking straight at the clouds over there.

'Delusion? ’

The young Taoist was surprised, and then he noticed that the mocking wind was staring at him.

Bow slightly in the direction of the statue.

I saw that the mocking wind seemed to shake a few times, and the eyeballs were obviously slanted, and it was obviously a stone carving, but it seemed to have a stiff feeling.

"Sure enough, it's a big city in Zhongzhou, which is different from the dream."

Qi Wufu thought about it and recorded this matter in his heart.

The method of the earth is immediately operated, following the direction of the jade book record given by Tao Taigong, even if you move forward with the help of the leyline, you don't have to worry about losing the way, Zhongzhou Mansion City is the most prosperous place in the entire Zhongzhou, even if it is in the empire, it is only inferior to the imperial capital of the capital, and the people who can live in the city [in the square] only occupy a small part, and most of them are in the villages outside.

There are still such divisions as villages, towns, townships, and districts.

Shuili Township is not too far from Fucheng.

It is based on a river near the left of the city, a village near the water, when Qi Wufu went, it was still early, and the river flow speed in winter seemed to be slower, the whole village was considered rich, you could see people coming and going, the look on the face was happy and happy, many families had already posted couplets, and were ready for the New Year's Festival.

The young Taoist saw an old man sitting on a chaise longue, lazily basking in the rare warm winter sun.

So he stepped forward to ask, and based on what the girl told him at that time as evidence, he only said that he was the person who knew the girl, and he was entrusted to come to this village, and the old gentleman still held a book in his hand, raised his eyes to look at him, and said: "You are talking about Zheng Xiu's family, her daughter has been lost for a long time, and there is still news coming back?" ”

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, where is her home now?"

"Her family? This, hey, things are complicated, little Taoist, come with me, I'll show you the way. ”

The old gentleman shook his head, put the book in his hand to the side casually, and immediately motioned for Qi Wufu to follow him forward.

When chatting, Qi Wufu knew that this old gentleman had studied and passed the examination, but he had been unhappy in his career, and he returned to his hometown when he was old, reading and appreciating flowers every day, and also teaching and teaching children to read, but he was also happy, and when he mentioned the missing child, he also sighed for a long time, saying that he had taught her to read and write, but he never thought that he would disappear suddenly.

The old gentleman walked to a door, stopped suddenly, looked at Qi Wufu, and said, "Little Taoist, you tell me." ”

"Is that kid already ......?"

The old man wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing the young Taoist's expression, he had already guessed something, but he just sighed.

He tapped on the door and shouted, "Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian? After shouting a few times, no one answered, so he pushed open the door and motioned for Qi Wufu to come in, this yard seems to be an ordinary farmhouse, originally one side of the land should be reclaimed, planting some vegetables, but it has been deserted, the courtyard is full of dust, and there are weeds in clumps, obviously it is already the New Year's Festival, but there is no preparation.

The old man tapped on the door, and it was a little before someone heard the voice.

A person groped out of the door, the girl's mother, who should have been less than forty years old, but now she looked withered, shaped, and most of the black hair had become white, and the rest of the black hair was all withered, like the withered grass after autumn—

The roots have been broken, there are no nutrients, and the vitality has dissipated like a fluttering canopy.

The old man sighed.

The look was gloomy.

"When she was a kid, I hugged her."

"When she was born, the old man was your age, she was a young student, and I watched her grow up, and I never wanted to be like this."

The old man spoke quietly.

The woman just said, "Ah, is it Brother Zhou?" ”

"You came to me, did my girl find me? Or do you know about her?! ”

The woman was expecting to speak, but her eyes were blank, and the direction she was looking at was not right, Qi Wufu didn't ask, just said, "I have news from her......"

"Ahh

The woman became excited when she heard this, and took a step forward, but instead she hit the table next to her, and something spilled down, she staggered and fell to the ground, but she just stretched out her hands and grabbed the palm that Qi Wufu wanted to support, and her voice was almost unshapely, and said:

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Buddha, thank you Thank you Thank you Jade Emperor, my daughter, daughter ......"

She burst into tears.

The old man was about to say that this is a Taoist priest, how can you say that he is a Buddha and Bodhisattva if you want to thank him?

The young Taoist half-knelt down, gently supported the wrinkled palms with both hands, and replied in a gentle voice:

"Well, the Bodhisattva will bless her...... It will also bless you. The woman seemed to have suffered a huge shock, cried a lot, and fell into a deep sleep, Qi Wufu pushed the door open, and even the pungent breath had a feeling that it was about to slowly decay, and he helped the girl's mother back on the bed.

Then take the pulse of it.

The old gentleman stood by.

Qi Wufu raised his hand after a long time and said, "There is already a stubborn illness in the body...... grief and sorrow, and the spirit is greatly consumed; He also rarely eats and drinks, and his body's vitality has been greatly depleted...... The vitality is seriously damaged, and you need to recuperate with peace of mind, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not live long. ”

"Just her eyes."

Qi Wufu looked at the old man.

The old man said, "...... She was not in good health, but later she struggled to pull her eldest daughter, you know, many people in the village were reluctant to see a doctor when they were sick, so they stayed up and stood up, and then got sick; My daughter finally pulled her up, and asked us to help find a good mother-in-law's house, but later my daughter pushed it in order to see her, saying that if she went there, it would be too far from home. ”

"The in-laws didn't want her to go over, and they had a few big fights."

"Later, then the girl disappeared."

"Her mother dragged her body to look for it, searched and searched, and she didn't find it for a few months, and her body couldn't walk, so she had to cry, crying and crying, and her eyes were blind."

"But I don't dare to die yet."

"I'm afraid that my daughter won't be able to find herself when she comes back one day."

"Just hold on, we'll bring her something to eat, we'll come to eat."

"People, that's it, no matter how bitter you are, if you don't want to die, you always have to stay up."

The old man spoke.

Qi Wufu was quiet for a long time, he stretched out his hand and pointed out, but in an instant, he clicked the acupoints on the woman's body on the bed, and in an instant, even the old man sensed that her breath had become stable, and the young man seemed to be a little pale, the old man was surprised, and said, "This is ......"

Qi Wufu said: "The so-called acupuncture is just to promote righteousness and drive away evil spirits. ”

"That being the case, using my qi as a needle to stimulate its own vitality is a more direct and simple method."

"I'll be here to help her recover and recuperate before leaving."

The old man looked at the young man's needle, and still couldn't help but say, "Do you have anything to do with her?" ”

The Taoist replied, "It doesn't matter. ”

"Then why did you do it to such an extent?"

Qi Wufu replied: "Promise." ”

"And, the one who killed her daughter is a Taoist priest, and she can be regarded as a Taoist disciple after all."

"It should be so ......"

The old man was even more puzzled, and asked:

"It's a disciple of the Daomen, what does it have to do with you?"

The young Taoist didn't answer, and in the end he just smiled gently:

"I'm lowly in cultivation."

"It's just that if you can help, it's just help, and it doesn't matter."

There is a roll of white paper in his cuff, on which are written the experiences of countless people, and he once sighed that the life and death of a person was just a line of words and a little ink mark, but now I know that that little bit of text, a little bit of abrasion, is so heavy.

The young man helped clean up the messy house, and the old man also helped.

Finally much cleaner and new.

The old man sighed: "It's rare for the New Year, I also brought some red paper couplets, and then I have to write a post about the king of the stove." ”

He went to fetch the red paper, and Qi Wufu picked up the pen and wrote the text.

The young man wrote a couplet, and the old man couldn't help but applaud and say, "Good words, good words!" ”

"I'm better than the old man, come on, come on, you can also write the post of the prince of the stove."

Qi Wufu picked up the pen.

The things and emotions experienced by Huang Liang are gradually forgotten, but what he once mastered is truly preserved, and the practitioner's control of the body allows him to exert the calligraphy of the once unconfused master, so he writes a text post of prayer and blessing, hoping that the Lord of the Stove can bless this miserable person in the second year.

The old man admired the young man's words, and suddenly shook his head and smiled: "I wrote it wrong, I wrote it wrong." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Wufu looked down, but he didn't see a single word written wrong.

The old man stretched out his finger and pointed, and said with a smile: "Look at it, it's been five years since Jingyun was here, why are you still writing Jingyun for four years?" ”

"Jingyun five years? But ......"

The young Taoist was stunned, he clearly remembered that when he left, he was going to celebrate the New Year of Jingyun in the fourth year.

At that time, I chatted with Li Puyu's uncle and talked about "Dengji Deyin" three years ago.

When the old man saw that he didn't believe him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young man, don't think that I can't remember clearly when I'm old. ”

"Four years ago, I promulgated the "Dengji Deyin", old man, I can return to my hometown after getting benefits, how can I not remember clearly?"

Four years ago? "Dengji Deyin"

Qi Wufu was stunned, and in an instant, countless possibilities turned in his mind, and he obviously hadn't been away for so long.

Leaving aside the experience on that island, the time for the boat ride is only one day and one night, how can it be a year?

His thoughts suddenly flickered.

I thought of the sneering sneer of the sloppy fortune teller today and the expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

'Yesterday? ’

"If it had been yesterday, nothing would have happened, little Taoist. ’

A ridiculous thought came to the young Daoist's heart.

"I've been meditating on that river for a year?!"

Just when he realized it.

It's as if the barrier of knowledge has been broken.

The vitality in the body suddenly began to change.

A few maneuvers, and then—

Skyrocket!
