The thirty-fifth year of the Han Dynasty, October.

Yuzhou City.

The city is full of osmanthus flowers.

In a courtyard somewhere in Yuzhou City, Chen Luo was lying leisurely in the courtyard.

Occasionally, I eat osmanthus cake.

Take a sip of wine once in a while.

There is nothing more enjoyable than this.

Especially the osmanthus cake in Yuzhou City, which has not been eaten for decades, and today's eating, the sense of time and the memories of the past are all out.

General Fei turned into an ordinary and normal goshawk, lying on the peach blossom tree in the courtyard.

Yawn once in a while.

Occasionally looked up at Chen Luo.

The feathers on his body shook and made a metal-like brushing sound, and faintly, sparks flickered on it.

It's also strange to say that General Fei was originally just an ordinary goshawk,

Because fate entered Chen Luo's field of vision.

It just so happened that he opened his mind and became Chen Luo's spirit beast...... It also became the experimental subject of Chen Luo's practice of beast control.

But even if he opened his mind, he was just an ordinary goshawk.

Since that realization in Xianyang, Chen Luo turned into a spring breeze and traveled all over the land of Great Qin and Great Zhou, and under the flame of that finger, General Fei carried out a brand-new, up and down transformation.

The gray hair turns red.

In the middle of the flight, there is now a firelight under his feet, making a crackling sound.

Even the feathers have flame starlight.

It's not a goshawk anymore......

It's just that Chen Luo doesn't know what it is.

What was going on in that state at the beginning, how could it be done, and I still don't know what it was.

Fortunately......

Chen Luo's heart is big.

If you don't understand something, you don't care.

Like a mysterious object in the body.

Three out of five.

Decades have passed......

Knowing where Shushan Road and Wenxin Pavilion were, he didn't have the idea of looking for it.

Not being in a hurry is one reason.

One of the biggest reasons is that whether it is southern Xinjiang or the northern region, it is really difficult to pass...

Coupled with the fact that there are more and more legends of strange ghosts and frost giants, Chen is reluctant to take risks.

Live forever......

Whether it is immortality or immortality, or immortality, Chen Luo has not yet had the courage to be a test.

After all, I am afraid of death!

It's a shame for the majority of traversers......

3 months ago.

Chen Luo walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Dharma Temple, and after leaving the temple, Chen Luo went down the mountain and found General Fei.

And then all the way along.

In the middle, I went to Penglai Xianfang

It was a pleasant surprise.

Back then, I raised a lot of fish in the pond in the courtyard, which was originally for food, but in a hundred years, a carp with wisdom appeared in it.

Chen Luo thought for a moment.

Give it a hint of magic.

Then he ignored it, caught some fish and left.

These fish are fatty and a treat with every bite.

Cat lady loves fish......

Fish, rats, books......

These are her three most important things.

Mouse Chen Luo has no choice, books and fish, as a master, he can still satisfy her.

So Chen Luo caught some more.

A storage bag was hidden.

When the time comes to give it to her, she will surely be happy.

As soon as you are happy, you may turn into a human form, and if you turn into a human form, you may be able to say yourself...... Boom ......

Chen Luo's smile gradually became perverted,

Gave himself a slap in the face.

scolded himself for being perverted.

It's just a cat!

That's your disciple!

You want to cry to her...... Yete is not a human anymore.

As for the harvest of Ku'e Mountain, Chen Luo thought that this was probably the biggest harvest he had ever received over the years.

Bodhidharma is known as the three hundred stunts.

These three hundred stunts are all hidden in the Scripture Pavilion.

In addition to these stunts, there are 30,000 Buddhist scriptures......

Chen Luo likes to read.

Taoist books.

Buddhism is a book.

Miscellaneous.

Confucianism.

Four Arts.

Biography of the princes.

Wait a minute......

It may be a habit cultivated in the Kyoto Library at the beginning, and Chen Luo loves to read.

Over the years, no matter how busy I was, I would take the time to watch for about an hour.

Occasionally, there will be gains.

Occasionally, there is none.

Chen Luo is not in a hurry, if he really goes to read a book for the harvest, then he will be in a bad position.

In two years, Chen Luo read most of the Buddhist scriptures.

Harvest a lot.

Or even a lot.

Buddhism is a family...... Just because; The ideas are different, because the paths chosen are different, and in the end they have walked out of two completely different paths.

But the three thousand avenues all return to the origin.

Buddhism and Taoism naturally have something in common.

Thereupon......

In two years, the eight-pattern golden pill that had unconsciously fallen naturally entered the nine-pattern

The foundation of the Nine Realms was formed in an instant.

As for the three hundred stunts, Chen Luo has learned them all.

It took a long time just to deduce......

Later, Chen Luo couldn't help but go down the mountain.

No way......

It is not his formal style to cause visions from time to time, and sincerity.

Later, there was a formation arrangement, but it was inevitable that some of it would be leaked.

But the biggest gain is the formation of Bitter Mountain......

Chen Luo spent a long time, and he had a vague feeling for that formation.

It's a pity that it's too profound.

Some are similar to the one sand and one world in Buddhism.

There is a means for Sumeru to become boundary.

It's not that simple to study......

Fortunately, I have learned a little, and now I am waiting for intensive research and experimentation.

Maybe one day you can really learn that formation.

If you can learn ...... It is possible to create heaven and earth within the formation.

That...... It is the real immortal means.

Pity......

The formation of Ku'ai Mountain was not to create heaven and earth, but to forcibly change the environment with the help of the formation and manpower.

There are a lot of problems in the middle, and it is difficult to explain them in one word, so I will simply not talk about them.

As for saying goodbye without saying goodbye...... The main thing is that Chen Luo doesn't want to trouble.

Bodhidharma and himself are cause and effect.

They have what they get.

You also have what you get.

When it's time to go, it's natural to go...... It doesn't need to be justified.

……

"But the peerless magic weapon, there are not many things that are bad now...... There's only one left, the blood of the people? ”

Lie on a chair.

The chair rocked.

Chen Luo enjoyed it leisurely.

Muttering in his mouth.

"The Spirit of the Four Seas, the Spirit of the Sea, the Spirit of the Five Elements, the Kunlun Black Iron...... In the past few decades, with the help of Jinyiwei and Red Sleeves, he has almost collected it.

Two or three of them are missing.

One of the most troublesome is the blood of the people...... Well? And one more? Morning and evening spirit dew? What the hell is this? ”

Chen Luo suddenly became a little confused.

He still thought that there was only one blood left, how could there be a morning and evening spirit dew?

But......

"At a glance, I know that this blood of the common people is the most difficult to find, and if you think about it from the morning and evening spirit dew, it is not so difficult to think about it...... If it doesn't work then, go to Shushan and ask Li Qiuliang, that guy should understand.

I think I've heard him mention it before! ”

Chen Luo thought.

Suddenly, a little boy ran in.

He also has a bun in his hand.

"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen......"

He shouted.

Because he ran too fast, he fell directly to the ground with a thud.

He reacted quickly.

The bun was held high by him, but it didn't fall away.

It doesn't hurt either.

Nor do I cry.

He stood up and patted the dust off his body.

He wiped the runny nose with his sleeve.

smiled and came to Chen Luo with a bun.

"Grandpa Chen, here you are, your favorite vegetable bun...... I secretly hid it, and I was going to eat it myself! ”

The little boy is called Yang Xiaokai.

He is the grandson of Yang Zhiwen.

It's just that Yang Zhiwen is gone...... He died a few years ago......

However, his son Yang Bucheng inherited his mantle and became the catcher of Yuzhou City.

This Yang Xiaokai is his youngest son, who is six years old this year.

Chen Luo squinted at Yang Xiaokai, smiled, didn't pick up the buns, but looked out the door: "Come in, your Grandpa Chen is not that old, Zheng Sanniu, your feet are exposed...... Also, Zheng Datou, your head is exposed. ”

Thereupon......

Bang bang

Seven or eight children poured in outside the door.

About the same age.

Both are five or six years old.

It's just that these children, one by one, are covered in mud, as if they have just crawled out of the mud.

"Hello Grandpa Chen!"

"Grandpa Chen has been discovered by you!"

"Grandpa Chen, I'm not called Datou, I'm called Dacheng!"

The children were shouting.

The big head complained to his partners:

"I told you, it's useless to hide, you still don't believe me, now believe me, right?"

"Aren't you hiding too?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to hide?"

"Haha!"

"Brother Xiao Kai just fell like a dog eating, it's so funny!"

Yang Xiaokai: ???

A group of people spoke, but the movements in their hands were not idle at all, some from their bodies, some from the crotch of their pants, and some from their stomachs.

There are fish.

There are loaches

There are crabs.

There are even a lot of big frogs.

They were placed on the ground, and when they were free, some began to crackle and flap their tails, some of them ran around.

The frogs are the fastest.

Started running around the yard,

Now they are in a hurry. ，

My frogs, my fish, my loaches, my crabs shouting in their mouths......

I started to grab it in a hurry.

Chen Luo loves to be clean.

So his yard is clean......

But in the blink of an eye, there's a mud mark here, a mark there... The frog even ran into Chen Luo's arms.

Looking at the children running around the yard and catching frogs all over the yard, Chen Luo's head suddenly darkened.

Some even went up to the trees......

"Zheng Xiaoqi, don't pull it out, General Fei's hair will be stripped by you!"

Chen Luo shouted.

The little girl known as Zheng Xiaoqi was holding the accidentally caught General Fei in her arms, and the little girl still had a feather in her mouth......

Hearing Chen Luo's words, the little girl looked at General Fei, and with some regret, she pulled another feather down before letting General Fei go, and then slid down the peach tree, leaving a long mud sliding mark on the trunk.

Chen Luo's head grew a little bigger.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

This group of boys are all Zheng He's grandsons......

That guy is awesome.

said that he wanted to give birth to several big fat sons, but he really gave birth to seven over the years......

That's it.

And ten daughters!

That is, the guy gave birth to seventeen!

The guy ......

When he returned to Yuzhou City, when he knew about it, Chen Luo almost slapped him to death.

It's so special!

And these children are his grandchildren.

As soon as they heard Chen Luo's words, a group of little children rushed to shout.

It means that they specially grabbed these things and gave them to Grandpa Chen......

Then he said cryptically.

When they were just catching fish, they were accidentally seen by Yang Xiaokai's father, hoping that Chen Luo could save them.

Wait a minute, Yang Xiaokai's father and grandfather will definitely come over.

When the time comes, I hope Chen Luo can say something good......

"Grandpa Chen, please!"

Yang Xiaokai held the bun with both hands,

The rest are either holding frogs or crabs......

looked at Chen Luo one by one.

Still...... It's no wonder that you can be a human being, and you know that you can't do things empty-handed.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Chen Luo took the bun and ate it.

After all, it is a good heart.

I can't see my child being scolded.

Soon.

Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

It's Zheng He and Yang Bucheng.

As soon as he came in, he saw a group of little children covered in mud, and Yang Bucheng's face darkened.

"Chen Ye ......"

"Chen Ye ......"

Zheng He and Yang Bucheng saluted.

"Let's get someone to bring them back first."

Chen Luo said.

Soon there were women outside who came in and took the children away, including the Zheng family and the daughter-in-law of the Yang family.

When leaving, Yang Xiaokai and the others secretly gave Chen Luo a look.

Chen Luo understood.

He patted his chest.

It probably means: "Grandpa Chen protects you thoroughly".

They breathed a sigh of relief.

This time when I go back, I don't have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots.

Wait until they leave the yard.

Chen Luo turned around and asked Zheng He and Yang Bucheng, "Is there a bamboo strip at home?" ”

The two were slightly stunned.

Nodding.

"There is ......"

"That's it, I'm afraid you don't have enough at home, I'll get you some later, it's definitely thick and painful!"

"Then thank you Chen Ye."

"You're welcome, what they asked, you remember to fight to the death!"

Two people: ......

The bunny cubs at home, do you still have this enlightenment?

That's really satisfying them.

In fact, it's not that Zheng He and Yang Bucheng are making a fuss, it's really that Yuzhou City has been a little unstable recently.

There are a lot of things.

Yang Xiaokai The place where they went to catch fish today is called Yuqing River.

The Yuqing River is a river outside the city of Yuzhou......

Usually the water flow is not large.

The water is also extremely clear.

Usually the children love to play there......

But since people drowned there, more and more people have died in the river.

In just five or six years, at least a dozen people have died.

Adults too.

There are also children.

What's even weirder is that they all died at night......

Therefore, when they heard that their children had gone into the water, they were naturally very afraid.

Pity......

After many persuasions, these little rabbits never remembered it.

I always feel that this is not a big deal.

Of course.

This may also be the common denominator of the bear children...... They still don't understand what this death means.

"Yuqinghe has killed a lot of people over the years? Did someone say what's going on? ”

Chen Luo asked.

Zheng He said: "There are a lot of deaths, I remember the beginning, it seems to be a woman, that woman is a concubine outside the city, when I found out that she was dead, the whole city was frightened, the woman was tied, her skin was white, and her face was even more hideous and terrifying."

The government pretended to say that the little concubine was killed by a ghost, and from that moment on, there were many cases of drowning in Yuqinghe! ”

"Killed by a ghost?"

Yang Bucheng sneered: "What the hell? That's what Luo Yuanwai killed...... It's just that Luo Yuanwai is a gentleman in Yuzhou City, and his family has a great relationship with Kyoto, I heard that King Liang's concubine is Luo Yuanwai's sister, he is in Yuzhou City, and even Taishou doesn't dare to offend, let alone Yamen?

Moreover, that woman is his concubine, as a concubine, what is killed, the government can't decide..."

Chen Luo nodded.

"No monk to deal with it?"

"How could it not be?"

Zheng He said: "There are several before and after...... But several of them died, and when they got to the back, no one went..."

"It seems that there is really something in Yuqinghe."

Chen Luo smiled.

I chatted with the two of them for a while.

Seeing that it was not early, Zheng He and the others respectfully retired.

For Chen Luo, whether it is the Zheng family or the Yang family, they respect Chen Luo very much.

Especially Zheng He

knew that when Chen Luo came back, he used to run.

Eighty-something.

I fell several times on the way here.

Seeing Chen Luo, he hugged Chen Luo's thighs directly...... I have to drink with Chen Luo.

The current Zheng family is still an ordinary family.

But there are already more than 40 people in the whole family......

It's not that the Zheng family has no money.

On the contrary, there is money,

It's just that Zheng He still adheres to the truth that wealth is not exposed, and thinks that it is okay to have money, but it is not good to be publicized.

As a result, the Zheng family has also developed in a low-key manner over the years.

People are getting more and more.

In the eyes of outsiders...... The Zheng family is a well-off family.

Rich...... Not counted.

Starve...... No

Ordinary people.

This is what Zheng He wants.

It is also a place that Chen Luo thinks is good.

It's good to be ordinary, and it's good to be low-key, so Chen Luo met the descendants of the Zheng family and the Yang family.

Don't say anything else.

The descendants of the Zheng family, at least for now, Chen Luo is still sure that within three generations, he will not forget his roots.

As for three generations later, this is a hurdle.

What will happen depends on the fate of the Zheng family and their education.

As for the Yang family...... Three generations of single transmission.

It's all good, too.

It's the Yuqing River......

Chen Luo smiled.

Tomorrow is idle, go fishing in the Yuqing River, think it's very good.

……

This night,

Zheng family.

As usual, after nightfall, everyone went to bed early.

Maybe it's a little different.

It was a much brighter night tonight.

Crunch......

In the silence of the night, Zheng Xiaoqi pushed open the door and walked out of Zheng's house.

She closed her eyes.

Nor do they speak.

I didn't wear shoes either.

Just walk quietly down the street......

It's also strange to say,

The soldiers guarding the city gate were still in some energy for a second, but gradually, they yawned, and finally fell asleep against the wall in a groggy state, and they didn't even see Xiao Yu walking out of the city gate.

She walked hollowly,

Finally, we came to the bank of the Yuqing River.

Quietly, after looking at the river in a daze for a few seconds, he then took a step, stepped on the water, and walked towards the river.

Also at the moment it enters the water.

A red feather on Xiao Mi's body suddenly shone brightly.

That's the flames!

Flames are red......

In the night light, it is extremely dazzling.

……

Cheng.

Chen fell in the courtyard.

General Fei, who was originally sleeping in the tree, suddenly woke up, let out a roar, and then burst into flames and flew towards the Yuqing River.

The Night......

There was a flame in the sky, piercing the night.
