Chapter 114: A Daoist Friend of Mine
Li Xiangyi just reported Xie Jiashu's name, which caused a burst of exclamations.
Without waiting for everyone to get close to him, Tianjiao, who ranked fiftieth on the continent list, a figure walked into the post house in the wind and rain.
This is a young woman with beautiful looks and elegant temperament.
Almost the entire people hiding from the rain in the lobby of the post house recognized the identity of this young woman at a glance.
Li Xiangyun also recognized it.
Because she is currently one of the most famous monastic women in the entire Beizhige Continent.
Donghua Mountain, Jiang is nearly late!
Not only because she is the only descendant disciple of the Donghua Mountain Divine Lord, but also because she ranks third in the new continent list announced two days ago.
The top three people in this year's Beizhi Gezhou Continent People List:
Iron Gun Gate in the North, Xie Biao.
The Chen family in the south is already ill.
Donghua Mountain in the east, Jiang is late.
It is not known what the other major regions of Beizhige Continent are now, but in the eastern realm, Jiang's name and portrait have already spread to every corner of the eastern realm.
This woman is proud of her and is the pride of the entire Eastern Territory.
So as soon as she appeared on the stage, there was no one in the post house who was rare Li Xiangyi, who was on the list of fifty "Xie Jiashu".
"It's Fairy Jiang who has arrived!"
"Fairy Jiang, hurry up and please!"
"Fairy Jiang came here in the rain, is it to be sharp or stay? All the costs are on me! ”
The monks who were sheltering from the rain in the lobby got up to greet them and spoke enthusiastically.
Even a few young boys and girls such as Qinghua Zongtian Xiaoqing also gave up the lovely little Qianjun and greeted Fairy Jiang.
Li Xiangyun and Xiao Qianjun also saw Jiang's portrait in the evening after the gold list of Donghucheng Avenue was announced, and it was very unexpected to meet at the post house at this time.
Li Xiangyi guessed that this Donghua Mountain heir had something important to do, and he came here in the rain.
Xiao Qianjun suddenly remembered the explanation of the senior sister when she went down the mountain, it seems that the senior brother really has a fate with this sister Jiang Jinwan, and not long after entering the eastern border, he met her.
The little guy carefully looked at Jiang Jinwan in the crowd, and saw that she had an elegant temperament and beautiful appearance, a few points more beautiful than the one in the portrait, and was very happy.
Such a sister Jiang is worthy of her senior brother.
She wanted to go up and say hello, but when she saw a group of people around her, and she seemed to have something important, she had to hold back.
Jiang Jinwan's slender posture and a golden long sword pinned to her waist added a bit of heroism to her demure and elegance.
It makes people dare not have frivolous blasphemy.
Although she came in the rain, there was not a drop of water on her body.
After responding to the warm greetings of everyone in the post house one by one, she walked through the crowd and found the post house junior.
"Xiao Er, I have something important to find the shopkeeper, please invite the shopkeeper out, this is the honorarium." Jiang took out a bag of Dao copper coins in the evening and handed it to Xiao Er.
This post house is a private post house, not the official post station of the imperial court, and the owner is a middle-aged shopkeeper.
can let Donghua Mountain pass on and invite each other with a lot of money, obviously this post house shopkeeper is not simple.
This made Tian Xiaoqing and other rain monks very surprised.
Before that, they had always thought that this was an ordinary post house, and Xiao Er was also very ordinary, although he had cultivated, he had not yet entered.
Listening to Jiang's words in the evening, and seeing the Great Dao copper coin she handed over, Xiao Er acted calmly as if he had changed someone.
He didn't take the money bag immediately, but asked with a smile: "The master has gone out three days ago, and he is not in the post house at the moment, but he left some explanations before leaving." ”
"Dare to ask Fairy Jiang, why did you come to the door today?"
Jiang frowned slightly, but he still replied: "I have a Dao Gu friend, and during the cultivation process, there were some accidents. I would like to ask your host, Mr. Zou, to calculate a hexagram for my friend, so that I can find out the root cause and think it is a cure. ”
The innkeeper smiled and said, "It seems that my master's premonition is not wrong, Fairy Jiang really came to him for divination." ”
Jiang's expression became clear recently, and he said, "So, Mr. Zou has already calculated that I am coming?" Did you leave a hexagram to teach me, so that I could save my friend from the disaster? ”
The innkeeper shook his head: "Fairy Jiang misunderstood, my master was spiritually touched, and he expected that Fairy Jiang would come to the door, and he didn't divination." ”
"The master has recently committed a murderous crime, and it is not appropriate to make calculations, so there is no hexagram left."
"However, the master left a bag for Fairy Jiang, which can point out the direction for Fairy Jiang, but in the end, I dare not guarantee whether I can make Fairy Fairy friends turn evil into good fortune."
"May I ask the fairy, do you want this bag?"
In order to save his friend, Jiang has tried many methods recently, but they have not succeeded.
Later, she had the guidance of an immortal elder, if she didn't want to trouble her teacher, she could save her friend for the innkeeper.
Therefore, although I heard that the owner of the inn had left, I was a little disappointed.
But if you have a bag left, you won't push it back.
"I want this bag."
The innkeeper took the money bag, took an autumn harvest money from it, and then took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Jiang Jinwan.
"This tip only costs one penny."
"Thank you!"
Jiang put away the money bag and opened the bag recently, only to see a note inside.
When I opened it, there were only four words on the note: Great Star Harvesting.
The Great Star Harvest?
Jiang was a little puzzled lately.
There was a monk who was hiding from the rain closer, and when he saw the contents of the note, he was also very puzzled.
However, no one dared to disturb Fairy Jiang.
Li Xiangyun and Xiao Qianjun, because they were far away from each other at the beginning, couldn't see the content of the note, but it was a little strange to see Jiang Jiang's face sad recently.
"Little Er, how do you interpret this note?" Jiang asked recently.
The innkeeper shook his head: "Fairy Jiang has a blue heart, and she doesn't need to say much from the villain, she can naturally solve it." ”
Jiang frowned lately.
Soon she reacted, turned to look at the people in the lobby, unfolded the note, and said, "Is there any hero who knows the 'Great Star Picking Technique'?" If you understand, please let me know, Jiang will be thanked in the near evening! ”
Including the blue and white sect Tian Xiaoqing and others, all the rain monks didn't know what to do, and shook their heads one after another.
Li Xiangyun and Xiao Qianjun were both a little surprised and glanced at each other.
Then Li Xiangyi stepped forward and said, "I understand." ”
Some people were surprised to see him out of the ranks, and some people took it for granted.
After all, he is the "Xie Jiashu" of Hanshan Academy.
Jiang Jinwan had a hint of joy between his eyebrows, and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" ”
"Don't dare, Hanshan Xie Jiashu."
"It turned out to be Gongzi Xie, do you really know the [Great Star Picking Technique]?"
"Yes."
"Great, my friend is in an urgent situation at the moment, and he urgently needs his son to save him, please don't excuse me, I will thank you afterwards."
"Fairy Jiang is polite, it is the duty of my generation of scholars to help the needy, not to mention that Donghua Mountain and Hanshan Academy have an old relationship, since I can help the fairy, I will not stand idly by."
"Thank you, Childe!"
Jiang hugged his fists in the evening to thank him.
The inn junior said: "Fairy Jiang, to treat your friend, you should need a quiet room, please come with me!" ”
"Thank you!"
Then Jiang Jinwan, Li Xiangyi, Xiao Qianjun, and the sleeping girl Xianlong followed Xiao Er to the backyard of the post house.
The other monks who were hiding from the rain knew that it was important to save people, so they didn't go to join in the fun.
took Jiang Jinwan and Li Xiangyi to a quiet upper room in the backyard, and Xiao Er retreated.
Li Xiangyun asked directly: "Fairy Jiang, dare to ask where your friend is at the moment?" What disease did you suffer? ”
Jiang showed his hand in the evening, and a white and chubby baby girl appeared on the bed.
Xiao Qianjun looked at it with wide eyes: "Sister Jiang, is this your friend?" ”
It looks smaller than her.
Jiang Jinwan showed a wry smile and said: "This is my friend, named Yun Mian, is a Taoist aunt of Huluguan, because she was invaded by external evil when she broke through the realm, she went mad and became her current appearance. ”
"I have seen many doctors, and they all say that only by finding out when she was invaded by foreign evil can it be possible to save her, otherwise she will not only remain in this baby state, but within a month, her soul will wither, and her body will melt until she dies."
Li Xiangyun nodded: "I understand, no wonder the owner of this inn will leave the words 'Great Star Picking Technique', [Great Star Picking Technique] can not only pick the stars in the sky, but also pick a certain life mark of living beings for reading." ”
Jiang Jinwan also instantly understood, and hugged his fists again and said: "That being the case, without further ado, I also ask Gongzi to immediately perform the [Great Star Picking Technique] to explore the root cause of Yun Mian's invasion by external evils." ”
Li Xiang promised, and then waved his sleeves, a starlight shone, and in the quiet room, a picture scroll of the years immediately appeared.
……
Longxi Town, Mengshan County, has a tradition of becoming a monk.
Every year after February, when the second dragon raises its head, many families will send their children to Taoist temples to be ordained and become monks.
It is a very natural thing to be a Taoist priest in Longxi, if you have many children in your family, have few fields, or look smart, you will want to send them to the Taoist temple and become a Taoist priest, not only will you have this mouthful, but it is also possible to exempt your family from taxes and servitude.
In some years, a dozen boys and girls in a village wear robes.
Yun Mian is a little girl, and she also wants to become a monk.
She didn't have many brothers and sisters, and the family didn't have a lot of land, but she was frail and sickly since she was a child, and she had three serious illnesses before she was two years old.
The father and mother of the little girl were very worried, but her grandmother refused to accept her fate and called her younger brother.
The old lady's younger brother, that is, the little girl's sixth uncle, was the master of a Taoist temple called Huluguan in the north of the state city.
As soon as they met, without waiting for the sixth uncle of the road number Qingxu to drink saliva, the old lady directly said that the crown girl is my favorite granddaughter, I will give her to you, no matter what method you use, you must raise her to adulthood.
The old lady is the eldest sister, and she has her own prestige, even if the Qingxu Taoist has become a monk, it is not easy to disobey.
Looking at the little girl who was purple, the Qingxu Taoist pinched his fingers and said Sister, don't worry, this crown girl has a relationship with my Daomen, I accepted it, but now the opportunity has not come, and I will pick her up in six years.
Ploughing in spring and planting in summer, harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter, the years do not stop and six years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The crown girl of the year grew to be eight years old.
On the day of his birthday, a tall old man in a green robe walked into Yunjia Village, and it was the Qingxu Dao chief who fulfilled the contract.
The little girl Yunmian had eaten her grandmother's longevity noodles early, and her mother was reluctant to give up and fried two more poached eggs.
Last night, the family had already told her about the monk in advance, and as soon as the little girl saw the Taoist chief of Qingxu in a Taoist robe, she understood what was going on, and respectfully called out to the sixth uncle.
After a brief greeting, the Taoist of Qingxu said to Yun Mian: "The time has come, say goodbye to the elder." ”
The little girl immediately knelt down, kowtowed to her grandmother and parents three times, and bowed to her two brothers.
After saying goodbye, when she walked out of the house, she was an outsider, and she didn't know when she would see her again.
"Little Liuzi, I'll hand over the crown girl to you!" The grandmother called out the name of the head of the Qingxu Road.
"With the blessing of the ancestors, it will be fine." Qingxu Road Chang replied.
Then he made a joke and left with the little girl.
The grandmother and mother were very reluctant, but they could only be sent to the gate of the hospital and watched the two go away.
Xiao Yunmian suddenly turned around, beckoned and shouted, "Grandmother, mother, take care of your body, Mian'er will come back to see you!" ”
……
The sun is warm and clear in early spring, and everything grows.
Walking out of the village, the Qingxu Daoist suddenly paused and looked at the little girl in the clouds.
The little girl carried a small package on her back, looked up and asked, "Sixth uncle, what's wrong?" ”
Qingxu Daoist asked, "Can you go?" ”
The little girl nodded, "Yes!" ”
After making an agreement that year, the Taoist of Qingxu left a qi cultivation technique, and his grandmother has been urging her granddaughter to practice all these years, day after day, rain or shine.
Although the little girl's physique is still very weak, her body is much thinner than her peers, but it is much stronger than when she was a child, at least she doesn't have to worry about a long time to travel.
The chief of Qingxu took the little girl and continued on the road.
Soon the two came to Longxi Town, where the Taoist of Qingxu bought some incense candles and hemp paper, and went to another shop to buy some cinnabar, lamp grass and other items.
The little girl followed and was very curious.
After leaving the town, the two went all the way north.
The little girl asked, "Sixth uncle, are we going back to Huluguan directly?" ”
Qingxu Dao said: "No, let's go to Zishui Town first." There have been some strange things in Xiaohe Village recently, and Li Zhengtuo people have found Huluguan and asked me to go over and have a look. Since it's also a ride, let's take a walk. ”
"So the things you just bought were all for practical purposes?"
"Yes."
The little girl blinked, looking forward to it.
She heard her second brother say last night that the sixth uncle, who is the master of one view, has great magical powers.
……
Towards evening, an old man and a young man came to Zishui Town, which is located in the west of Mengshan County.
Xiaohe Village, who got the news in advance, was already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Li Zheng's surname is Li, a white-haired rickety old man, on crutches, when he saw the Qingxu Road Elder coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, followed by a few young men.
"Qingxu Daoist, our village has prepared some wine and food, and I will give the Taoist and the small Taoist to pick up the wind, and please follow the old man into the village. The village is poor and has suffered disasters, so don't dislike the simple food. Li Zheng sincerely invited.
The little girl Yunmian changed into a small Taoist robe halfway, looking delicate and smart, and Lao Li was mistaking it for a formal Taoist child, and she was courteous.
Qingxu Dao said: "Lao Tanyue has a heart, but it's still early, let's take a look at the situation in the village first, and wait for the pickled ingredients to be sorted out, and then it's not too late to eat." ”
Li Zheng couldn't help but respect when he heard it, and the secret way was worthy of being a gourd master, and his demeanor was pure.
Before the Taoist of Qingxu, Xiaohe Village had invited several monks and monks to relieve the difficulties, but as a result, those Taoists and mages who claimed to have great magical powers were inferior in Taoism, and their conduct was even more misconduct.
The contrast between the two compartments shows morality.
"Daoist Gaode, old and decaying, please come with me!"
Li Zheng sighed with nostalgia and led him to the village.
Qingxu Dao said: "Old Tanyue, let's talk about the specific situation." ”
Li Zheng replied with a salute and said: "About half a month ago, there was a sudden whimper in the village at night. On the second night, there were not only the cries of children, but also the wailing of old men, the sorrows of women, and the screams of young men. ”
"One more night, not only did these voices become more terrible, but the village also lost a child, and then a few nights saw the woman, the old man, and the young man disappear one after another, and the people of Baijian Village have searched everywhere to no avail, and so far four young children, three women, three old men, and three young men have been lost."
"The old man searched for several waves of alchemists and mages, but failed to find out the source of the disaster; reported to the county government, and the county lord personally did not get anything. Therefore, I can only ask someone to nag the Taoist, please ask the Taoist to solve the difficulties of our village, Xiaohe Village will bow to worship, build a shrine and erect a monument, and forever remember the great grace! ”
Saying that, Lao Li was about to bow down with a cane.
The Daoist of Qingxu hugged him and said, "Lao Tan Yue is serious, subduing demons and driving away evil spirits is a matter for my Dao disciples, and it is not enough to worry about it. ”
Then he continued to walk, and as soon as he walked into the village, the Qingxu Daoist frowned.
The little girl also sensed that this village was unusual.
At this time, it is dusk, the sun is setting, and there is still afterglow pouring on the earth, but Xiaohe Village is dark and lonely, and the village is separated by a stream outside the village, but it is like two worlds.
"Sixth uncle...... the little girl couldn't help but look at the Qingxu Daoist.
Lao Li Zheng also asked: "Dao Chief, can you see what kind of evil is at work?" ”
Qingxu Dao looked at it for a long time and said, "I already have eyebrows." ”
Lao Lizheng and several young men were very happy when they heard this, and bowed down to worship and said, "Please kill this evil sect!" ”
"It's not difficult to punish evil, but it's not time yet."
"Dare to ask when?"
"Tonight."
Lao Li is entertaining two distinguished guests in his house.
The precepts of Huluguan are relaxed, and they do not avoid drinking and eating meat, and the Qingxu Dao Chang's appetite is reduced, but the little girl in Yunmian has a good meal.
A moment before midnight, the Qingxu Dao Chief, the Yunmian Little Girl, Lao Lizheng, and several young men appeared in the ancestral temple in the village.
The Qingxu Daoist was dressed in an old Taoist robe, holding a dusty whisk, and a Qingfeng magic sword behind his back, with a solemn expression.
He handed the little girl a brass bell the size of a palm and instructed, "If you notice something unclean approaching, shake it." ”
"Yes!" The little girl took the bell and nodded heavily.
The Taoist of Qingxu instructed Qingzhuang to keep the candle of the ancestral shrine unextinguished, and then strode away and walked into the night.
The little girl in the cloud crown held the bell tightly, looking at the darkness outside the temple, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
There was a cloudy wind that swept through the village, followed by a whining sound.
