"I wonder where the old gentleman lives?"

"Shiyi County."

Thinking that his next stop was Changshan County, and he was just about to pass through Shiyi County, Li Hao responded.

"Then I'm going to bother the old gentleman."

The old man smiled and said that it was nothing.

Afterwards, several people went down the mountain together. Li Hao didn't expect that this old man's body was really good, and he didn't say he was tired all the way.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I saw a carriage parked not far away, and the groom was feeding the horses. The old man walked straight over and motioned for Li Hao to get into the car with Guan Hai.

After getting into the car, Li Hao sighed, "Old man, your body is quite good!" ”

When the old man heard this, he laughed, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." ”

As soon as I set off, it began to rain on this day, and the rain gradually became heavier.

Li Hao asked the old man curiously, "Old man, is this because of the three gods?" ”

The old man nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Little friend, you don't know anything. In fact, at the beginning, these three sacred incense will be fulfilled after the petition. But now it won't be fulfilled until it's burned out. And the time of this rain is gradually shortening. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Li Hao thought about it, and the voice last night said that these three divine incense only have the effect of dispelling the plague and calming the storm, and he couldn't help but be a little curious about why the efficacy and effect of the three divine incense are becoming less and less.

"Do you know why, old sir?"

The old man shook his head helplessly.

Li Hao had to sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Is it because immortals can't meddle in mortal affairs? All these reasons?

After almost an hour, the rain gradually became lighter and slowly stopped.

……

Along the way, take a horse-drawn carriage. The old man saw that Li Hao's face was a little uncomfortable, thinking that Li Hao was uncomfortable, and after learning that Li Hao was not used to sitting in the carriage, he asked many times if he wanted to stop and rest. But Li Hao said every time that he could still persevere, but he thought in his heart that he would never take a carriage again in the future. He felt that he was not feeling well. It's been bumpy all the way, and this belly is turning over and over. Looking at Guan Hai and the old man, the two of them looked calm, thinking that they had long been used to it.

Fortunately, after three or four days, I finally arrived in Shiyi County.

The carriage did not enter the city, but came to the outskirts. After a few people got out of the car, the groom drove the carriage and left directly. The two followed the old man to a farmhouse, and the old man motioned for the two to follow him in.

Entering the courtyard, Li Hao asked the old man curiously, "Old man, are you alone?" ”

"yes."

"Where's your family?"

Hearing Li Hao mention his family, the old man's back looked a little lonely.

Immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, Li Hao hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, old man." ”

The old man waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm used to being alone." I hardly go out except for the monthly sacrifices. Usually no one comes here, so I wanted to invite you to come and visit. ”

Why is that? You are a priest, and normally you are a member of the government. ”

Li Hao didn't understand, the status of the priest was not low, and it was impossible not to even have a stammering person.

"Hehe, because I am a priest, they think that I should be high and out of step with them. But how do they know what I'm doing? And if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be where I am. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Li Hao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. If the old man is a little selfish, this Changshan County will probably be the same as other places. At the same time, I was also curious about the second half of what the old man said.

"Sir, I wonder if you can tell us why?"

The old man asked the two to sit down in the courtyard and poured a few cups of tea by himself. Then he slowly told the two of them about his experience.

Originally, his family was not honest, but it was no problem to be well fed and clothed. But when his father died, he told him about Yan Gong and left three divine incense. He also said that this matter can only be told to future generations when he is about to die. At the same time, he also forced him to swear that if he encountered a great disaster in the world, he would have to use these three divine incense, and if necessary, he would have to scatter all his wealth.

After years of drought, even if he emptied his family, it would be useless. His wife was gone, and his son was drafted into the army, leaving him alone. He didn't go anywhere, so he stayed here, relying on the three divine incense, and became a priest.

The original Changshan County Shou didn't know where to know some of his deeds, and he also took good care of him. But later, an order was issued and a county guard was changed. The man first canceled the sacrifice, thinking that it was all superstition, but then it did not rain again. He had to be a priest again, and he has been a priest ever since.

After listening to the old man's past, Li Hao and Guan Hai didn't speak for a long time, both of them wanted to open their mouths to comfort the old man, but they didn't know how to speak for a while. Li Hao originally didn't want to say the incense recipe of the three gods, but now he felt that he had to say it.

"Old man, I actually know the recipe of these three divine incense."

When the old man heard this, his face was full of surprise at first, and then he returned to normal in an instant, with an expression that was indeed like this. waved his hand, signaling Li Hao not to speak.

"I'm glad you told me, but I don't think I'll need it either. The effect of these three divine incense is getting weaker and weaker now, maybe I haven't used up the rest yet, and this rain will never rain anymore. And I don't want to move anymore, it's time to take a break. Can you tell me that the incense recipe is still there, I'm already satisfied. ”

Looking at the old man's tired expression, Li Hao was a little ashamed.

"Okay, two little friends, I invited you to be guests, the past, let it pass, you two have to have a drink with me today."

The two also agreed again and again.

"Then old man, then I have to show you a hand and try my handiwork."

"Oh? Could it be that Xiaoyou can also cook? ”

Li Hao didn't ink, he went directly to the courtyard to pick some vegetables to fry, and took out some steamed buns to bake, which made the old man amazed.

At the dinner table, the old man took out the wine and poured it for a few people. After eating the food, I tasted the baked steamed buns again, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad!" Not bad! Xiaoyou is really amazing! This roasted steamed bun goes with wine, it's really good! ”

"Hehe, the old gentleman complimented me."

After a few people drank for a while, the old man was a little dizzy, and Li Hao helped the old man to the room and withdrew.

After a simple tidying up, Li Hao and Guan Hai casually found a place to rest.

Before leaving the next day, the old man handed Guan Hai a scroll.

"When we chatted yesterday, I saw that you were angry and bloody, this book is a self-cultivation method handed down by Yan Gong, you can try it."

When Guan Hai heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "This can't be done!" ”

The old man did not answer, nor did he take the scroll. Just smiled and went back to the house.

Although Li Hao didn't understand why the old man wanted to give Guan Hai this scroll, he still came to Guan Hai's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Guan, you can accept the old man's heart, maybe he just wants to leave something." ”

Guan Hai had no choice but to put the scroll away, bow to the house, and then leave with Li Hao.

The old man heard what Li Hao said in the house, and also saw Guan Hai's farewell when he left, and muttered in his mouth: "Yes, I just want to leave something to prove that I have come to this world." ”

……

"Where are we going next?"

"Go directly to Zhending County."

"Huh? Don't you go to Changshan County? ”

According to the route, it is obviously much more convenient to go to Zhending County after going to Changshan County, and you can replenish it. But Li Hao listened to what the old man said, and felt that this Changshan County Guard was not a good person, so it was better to go directly to Zhending County.

"Don't go, work the road, go directly to Zhending County, and you will reach our destination."

Guan Hai now knows where Li Hao is going.

"By the way, who are you going to go to?"

Li Hao smiled mysteriously, "Go, don't you know." ”

……

I hurried unhurriedly, and it took about half a month to finally arrive in Zhending County. When the two arrived at Zhending County, it was already night, so they found an inn to stay.

The next day, Li Hao asked around the street if there was a family surnamed Zhao nearby. Although I know that Zhao Yun should be around twenty years old at this time, it seems a bit deliberate when you say your name directly.

When a woman was passing by, she heard someone looking for someone surnamed Zhao, so she asked Li Hao, "Are you looking for someone surnamed Zhao?" ”

Hearing that someone knew, Li Hao hurriedly responded: "Yes." Big sister, you know? ”

"Who are you?"

Li Hao had already prepared his words, and opened his mouth to say: "We are relatives of his family, and when the old man in the family left, let me come to Zhending County to join him, and he has two children at home." ”

When the woman saw that what Li Hao said was in good shape, she believed his words. Pointing in a direction and telling Li Hao, out of the county gate, there is a village in front of him, which is Zhaojia Village, and you can go to the village to inquire.

Li Hao thanked the woman and went in that direction with Guan Hai.

When I came to the village and asked the villagers, the rhetoric was still the same as before. The villagers didn't suspect anything, after all, they could tell the whole story of other people's families. Then he led the two of them to the door of a courtyard.

The villagers banged on the courtyard door and shouted inside, "Zhao Yihe, Zhao Yihe, someone is looking for you." ”

"Huh? Someone looking for me? ”

A voice came from inside, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out. This man has good facial features, but his skin is a little dark, and he is obviously a farmer.

"No, they came to you and said that it was your family who chose a house."

Zhao Yihe looked at Li Hao and Guan Hai, and asked with a blank face: "Are you relatives who choose a house?" ”

"That's right. My name is Li Hao, and I am the nephew of your second aunt's daughter-in-law. This is my cousin Guan Hai, who looks a little anxious, but he is very honest. As he spoke, he also pointed to Guan Hai on the side.

Anyway, there are no Taiping Dao people here, and Li Hao is not afraid that someone will know Guan Hai's name.

And the corners of Guan Hai's mouth twitched, squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Li Hao continued: "The family said that you live in Zhending County, and you have two sons, and the eldest has been sick since he was a child. In terms of seniority, I should call you uncle. ”

Listening to what Li Hao said, Zhao Yihe really thought that Li Hao and the others were his distant relatives for a while.
