The Tongtian Canal flowing out from the Qianyuan Palace divides the Heshan Fang into two, the bridges in the Fang are dense, the embankments on both sides, the green and yellow willow trees are towering.

On the east coast, there are many ink shops and calligraphy and painting shops, clean and elegant, with a high and ancient style, and it is the most elegant place in Yujing City; On the west bank, there are many food shops, wine shops and goulan, which are very popular with the smell of fireworks in the world, and some people say that the west bank is the most vulgar place in Yujing City.

The east and west shores, one elegant and one vulgar, form a sharp contrast.

However, no matter how elegant the east coast is, it will inevitably be stained with the smell of copper after all, and the speculative businessmen who resell gather here, speculate and cheat, and fight openly and secretly.

The "elegance" on the east coast is not as real as the "vulgarity" on the west coast.

At this time, in the Gou Ji mutton shop on the west bank, the old cousin was holding four bowls of mutton soup on his arm, all of which were coarse porcelain bowls.

He put the beech wood table on the ground, the sound was very loud, but the soup did not spill out at all, and the red oil on the soup and the dozen or so slices of mutton in the bowl trembled in unison, causing the diners to applaud.

The old man's unique skill can be described as superb, and it is precisely because of this that it has attracted countless diners, all of whom are popular.

In front of the mutton shop, there is a bridge that crosses the canal for fifteen zhang.

Seeking seclusion is one of the top ten elegant things at the moment.

The name of this bridge is "Tongyu", which is self-evident!

After crossing the bridge, walk more than 150 steps to the right, and it is the most famous Qianxinzhai on the east bank.

There is a cloud in "Daozang": "Hearing stops at the ear, and the heart stops at the symbol." Those who are angry are also those who are empty and treat things. Only the Tao gathers the void. The void is also fasting. ”

There is also a poem that says: "Bitterness and sincerity are everywhere, why should you sit and learn to fast." ”

However, "Asking the Heart" is not this "Heart" also!

Wenxinzhai is a comprehensive shop with pen, ink, calligraphy, painting and antiques, and is famous for its 'extreme luxury'.

Of course, the most valuable person has to count the "Worm Ancient Coins" inside, and only one is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

It is rumored that this ancient money is a thing of the fairy world, after the collapse of the fairy world, this money falls into the mortal dust, if you collect all nine hundred and eighty-one pieces, you can have a certain probability to get a legendary immortal spell.

However, often those who bought ancient money and went home, if they were left unattended, they would disappear at night. There are also guests who come to the door to question, and the host of Xinzhai said: "The beetle has a spirit, and the fairy fate cannot be forced, and the green worm flies away, but the fairy fate has not arrived." ”

Whether there really is a spirit or not, outsiders do not know!

One hundred and fifty steps away from Wenxinzhai, it is Tongling Lane, there is a Niangniang Temple in the alley, it is quite effective, and the incense is endless.

The Great Trunk Buddha is prevalent, and the people in the market respect the gods of all parties very much, and the scale of this Niangniang Temple is not large, but the establishment is not low.

Under the top of the Nine Ridge Mountain, the cloud pier is replaced, the god platform is built at the north wall, and two red silks descend, lining out the colored sculptures of three Niangniang.

Shang Qing and the three of them came to the Niangniang Temple, and Qin Shiyue suddenly stopped.

He has been married for more than three years, but now he has no children, and his mother has repeatedly advised him to accept the child, but he has a deep relationship with his wife and does not want to break his wife's heart.

I heard that this Niangniang Shrine is asking for a miracle, so you might as well ask for a wish for the time being.

The three of them entered the ancestral hall, there were many pilgrims, and the shrine enshrined the three Xiao Niangniang, namely Yunxiao Niangniang, Bixiao Niangniang and Qiongxiao Niangniang.

Yunxiao Niangniang's law minister was wearing yellow and white colored clothes, holding a mixed yuan gold bucket.

Bixiao Niangniang was wearing a green fairy dress and holding jade Ruyi.

Qiongxiao Niangniang was wearing a red fairy dress, holding a double dragon golden Jiaojiao scissors, and her face was handsome and compassionate.

The Lingzhu in the ancestral hall is a short old woman wearing a satin blue shirt with a collar, and she has set up a flat case in the ancestral hall to sell incense and candle offerings.

In the territory of Daqian, where there are temples dedicated to the gods, there are spiritual blessings to take care of secular affairs. Although the spiritual blessings have no real power, they are divided into high and low deeds, large and small. Judging from the incense of the Niangniang Temple, this old woman can be equal to the eight-rank official.

Shang Qing looked east and west at the Niangniang Temple, and Qin Shiyue walked to the old woman's case, and the old woman said: "Yellow sandalwood has fifteen Wen and three roots, white sandalwood has twenty-four Wen, and Qinglong Sandalwood has forty-five Wen." Candle twenty wen pair. ”

On the right side of the table, tired of a piece of yellow rune paper outlined by red bamboo cards and cinnabar, the old woman continued: "Fifteen talismans to ward off evil spirits, twenty talismans to seek marriage, thirty-five talismans to seek children, eighty-eight talismans to seek wealth, and one, two, two or two coins and silver ......"

Qin Shiyue took out a silver coin and put it on the desk, the old woman has been doing spiritual blessings for more than 20 years, and she is a must to observe words and colors, only to see her smiling and handing Qin Shiyue three green dragon sandalwood, a pair of candles, a child charm and a red bamboo card, "Put the bamboo card under the pillow for forty-nine days." ”

Qin Shiyue lit incense, lit candles, burned talismans, and bowed sincerely three times.

Shang Qing stood in front of the case, without the intention of paying homage to incense and asking for charms, took out a portrait and opened it in front of the old woman's eyes: "The old lady has seen this person?" ”

The old woman thought for a while in confusion before shaking her head and said, "I've never seen it!" ”

Shang Qing took out a few copper plates, stacked them in front of her, and said in a depressed mood: "This is my lady, she has an awkward relationship with me, she ran away from home, and I have been looking for her for many days......"

Dongfang Xi shook his head when he heard this.

The old woman looked at the person in the portrait again for a moment, and then said, "Childe may wish to ask for a psychic talisman and ask the three mothers." ”

The size of this Niangniang Temple is not large, there are generally pilgrims who come to the door, most of them ask for children, and the rune paper is just "warding off evil spirits", "seeking wealth" and the like, Shang Qing is the first time I heard that it can also be psychic.

"Then ask for a psychic talisman." Shang Qing said.

The old woman looked at Shang Qing carefully, and saw that this descendant was dressed in black, wearing a plain cloak, looking resolute and handsome, and there were faint aura fluctuations on her body, so she said happily: "The spirit talisman needs to be guided by five hundred years of green dragon sandalwood, a total of six hundred and sixty taels of silver." ”

Shang Qing was stunned when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Qin Shiyue, only to see that the other party took out a large amount of treasure money from his arms, and Shang Qing also gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.

The old woman personally brought Shang Qing to the front of the colored sculpture, and when he lit the incense, she instructed: "Son, please drop a drop of fingertip blood on the talisman, keep your mind, and you will see the three mothers." ”

Shang Qing did so, and the rune paper lit up with green smoke.

As the green smoke rose, the space inside the shrine seemed to begin to rotate, merge, and turn into chaos.

Qin Shiyue and Dongfang Xi suddenly had heavy eyelids and were drowsy.

In the chaos, an empty voice sounded: "Who is coming?" Quote your name. ”

Shang Qing stood in the chaos, suddenly opened his eyes, and only saw an island on the open sea, and from a distance, the mist was thick and the water vapor was thick.

He walked with his feet, as if he could walk on the wind.

On the island, stand up and watch, only to see thousands of cypresses, ten thousand sections of repairs, with rain in the middle of the sky, with smoke and a pale. There are thousands of steps, there is a bamboo house at the end, there is a small courtyard in front of the house, the courtyard is full of strange flowers, and the grass by the bridge is fragrant. At the end is a blessed land of gods.

Shang Qing opened his mouth and said: "Shang Qing, the big demon hunter, ask to see the three mothers. ”

The courtyard door of the bamboo house creaked open, and three women came into view, one wearing yellow and white colored clothes, one wearing a green fairy robe, and the other wearing a red fairy robe, with similar faces, all handsome and compassionate.

The woman in colorful clothes said, "Who are you?" ”

Shang Qing didn't look directly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he crossed his hands and said: "Senior Shang Qing, I came here to find a trace." ”

The woman in colorful clothes said, "Come in and talk about it carefully." ”

After speaking, he waved his robe, and Shang Qing was lifted by a gentle air current, and slowly drifted into the small courtyard.

Shang Qing forcibly suppressed the breath disorder in his body, tightened his mind, took out the painting in his arms, and handed it to the woman in colorful clothes: "She is my lady, I have been looking for her for many days, if the three mothers have seen her, please do not hesitate to tell her." ”

The woman in the colorful dress handed the painting to the woman in green and the woman in red and asked, "How did you get here?" ”

Shang Qing told the truth.

The woman in colorful clothes showed a happy smile on her face, hooked her fingers, and a bamboo chair fell next to Shang Qing, and the woman in colorful clothes said, "Little boy, please sit!" ”

Then he hooked his fingers again, and the tea cup on the bamboo table on the side floated up and stopped in front of Shang Qing.

The woman in the colorful dress had a pleasant face: "The little boy drinks tea." ”

Shang Qing picked up the teacup, not meaning to drink.

The green woman said, "Yunxiao, this person is a little familiar! ”

The woman in red also spoke: "I seem to have seen it two days ago. ”

Shang Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "The lady in red, can you tell the juniors where she went." ”

The woman in red seemed to smile: "You said she is your lady?" How to prove. ”

Shang Qing's eyes dodged slightly, and he knocked the rim of the cup with the tea lid, ready to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock, but when the woman in colorful clothes saw this, two fine lights burst out in her eyes.

"Alas...... The lady in red didn't know, the younger generation and the lady have been married for three years, but there has been no heir, Jiaci urged me to take a concubine, I refused, I never thought that my conversation with Jiaci was listened to by my mother, she was angry, ran away from home. The three mothers, the younger generation is now anxious, worried, unpleasant, and can't sleep at night......" Shang Qing paused for a moment, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he suddenly whispered:

"If the three ladies have really seen my lady, please tell the younger generation, the younger generation is grateful, if the lady is found, come to the shrine every day to pay tribute to the incense and thank you."

A teardrop slipped into the teacup, Shang Qing closed the lid and held the teacup in the palm of his hand.

The woman in red was moved, and after a moment of silence, she said, "She seems to have entered the bun shop next door." ”

Shang Qing got up, put the teacup on the bamboo case, turned around and bowed his waist, and thanked him: "Thank you for telling the lady in red, the younger generation thinks of his wife, so he will leave." ”

The woman in colorful clothes said loudly: "Since the little boy is here, let's have a cup of tea and leave!" ”

She hooked her fingers again, and the teacup hung in front of Shang Qing, who picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Oh, he only felt that the sky was spinning, his figure staggered, and when he looked up, the mist was shrouded in front of him, and the figures of the three women loomed.

In the Niangniang Temple, the old woman stood with her hands in her hands, looked indifferently at the three people who fell to the ground in front of her, groped around Qin Shiyue, took out a stack of treasure money, and then shouted behind the statue of Niangniang: "Butcher Xing, come out!" ”

A big man with a meaty face walked out, glanced at the three people on the ground, and said with a smile: "Granny Hua, you are getting bolder and bolder now, and even the people of the official family dare to do it." ”

The old woman bowed to the statue of Sanxiao Niangniang and said, "Butcher Xing, deal with it cleanly, if you cause trouble for the prince, take care of your head." ”
