Xiaoyantian Village, Karamay, Xinjiang

The area where the Xinglong supermarket in Xiaoyantian Village is located is the most prosperous area within a radius of dozens of kilometers, a new temple has been completed in the northeast corner of the Xinglong supermarket, with vermilion lacquer walls and glazed tiles, green trees in the courtyard, and bluestone paving. On the shrine of the main hall in the temple, there is a fairy who is as high as five meters and has a good demeanor, this fairy is dressed in a lilac robe, holding a jade Ruyi, her legs are slightly bent to make a flying shape, behind her skirt, a pair of boys and girls step on the colorful auspicious clouds, hold the sword and pipa and follow closely. I have to admire the modern industry for the improvement of the statue of God and Buddha, just for this purple-clothed fairy, both the body and the face are vivid, in addition to being several times larger, and Li Qingru who is standing in front of her at the moment is exactly the same, as if she herself changed into purple clothes and climbed the altar to concave a posture there.

Because the villagers bowed down one after another when they saw Li Qingru himself, Li Qingru, who was ashamed and annoyed, cried a lot, so the village chief ordered the closure of this new scenic spot called "Ruguan Ancestral Hall". At this moment, only the village chief Wei Guanglun, the village party secretary Lu Liancai, the director of the Karamay City Customs Management Bureau, Li Qingru's parents Li Changlin and Zhang Guizhi are left in the main hall of the Ruguan Ancestral Hall, and Li Qingru, who seems lonely but always beautiful and elegant.

After being accepted as a disciple by Shuang Hate Mo, Li Qingru notified her parents by phone, but because she needed to hit the small pass of the third layer of the Qi refining period in the past six months, she couldn't leave the mountain to go home to visit her relatives, and she needed to go home to visit her parents after successfully breaking through the realm.

Parents even knew how great the immortal sect was under the advice of well-informed villagers, but after learning that there were so many more powerful and mysterious immortal sects above the Wangxue Sect, such as the Mier Wara Sect, the Mo Yi Sect, the West Fire Wangzong and the Zheluo Sect, the parents' cognition was greatly subverted, and they sighed that their daughter was still not good enough. However, being accepted as a disciple by the Wangxue Sect and mastering the immortal method for a long life is already something that a poor family like them would never dream of.

But that day, the baby daughter called and said that she was accepted as a disciple by the two heads of the Tianshan faction, and she would practice in the Gully Shooting Peak in the future. The husband and wife, who had been in the fruit stand business all their lives, didn't understand what was going on for a while, but after their daughter explained, they suddenly realized that this one called the "Tianshan Sect" was actually the real immortal abode above the What Tile and Fire Sect, which was an existence that few mortals, even the head of the Wangxue Sect couldn't find.

As soon as this kind of thing spread in the village, it immediately exploded, and several well-informed old men said to Li Changlin: "The head of the Tianshan Sect is the mountain god who despises the aunt!" She's the Shojin of the Tsuchibe in the immortal class! Whether it is wind or rain, the Tianshan Mountains are all under her control! If it weren't for the fact that Ru Yatou was led away by Ren Xiuhua Immortal before, she could be accepted as an apprentice by the mountain god, who would believe this! ”

When Li Changlin and Zhang Guizhi were still in the clouds, the village chief Wei Guanglun and the village party secretary Lu Liancai both came to the door. Over the years, because the baby girl Li Qingru is the only one who has practiced with the true immortals in Shili Eight Village, the village cadres have been quite polite to Li Changlin and his wife, but this time they came to the door and used a car to pull a whole trunk of grain, oil, meat and eggs, and when they were carried into the house, they resolutely did not need the help of the husband and wife, which made the couple flattered and at a loss.

Li Changlin beckoned the two to have dinner at home, and when they were eating, Wei Guanglun finally said his purpose. It turned out that after the news spread that Li Qingru was accepted as a disciple by the head of Tianshan Mountain, the leadership team of Xiaoyantian Village had a plan, that is, to build a shrine for Li Qingru, a living fairy can naturally attract pilgrims who come to ten miles and eight towns to make a wish to enter the incense, if Li Changlin and his wife can persuade the girl to perform a fairy trick in front of the guests from other places, the effect will be ten times better!

Li Changlin and his wife are villagers who have never seen much of the world, and they think in private, and it seems that setting up a shrine for their daughter is also a beautiful thing to glorify their ancestors, and Wei Guanglun said: "After the ancestral hall is built, the incense money in the village and your family will be divided into two or eight." The temple was built at the expense of the village, so the village takes the big head, and your family takes the small head. ”

Li Changlin bowed his head again and again: "It should be, it should be." ”

As a result, there was the scene of Li Qingru standing in the Ruguan Ancestral Hall and breaking down and crying.

When she first returned to the village, when she walked on the street, regardless of men, women and children, as soon as they saw her, they would call her "Ruguan Niangniang", kneeling on her knees and praying sincerely and chanting, and the things she prayed for were even more bizarre and varied. Some begged her to give her property, some begged her to let the children in her family be admitted to a good high school, and some begged her to let her give birth to a son, Li Qingru herself had never given birth to a son, how could she have the ability to give someone else's son? The pretty face suddenly turned crimson like a glow. The most embarrassing prayer came from the widow of Shuangqiao Street, who begged Li Qingru to give her a man, with an additional condition: it was best to be able to fight every night. Li Qingru, a yellow flower girl who was less than eighteen years old, didn't understand what the additional conditions meant for a while, and Li's mother Zhang Guizhi pulled her daughter away with a calm face.

----

Li Qingru looked around, her eyes swept over the faces of the village chief Wei Guanglun, the village party secretary Lu Liancai, the director of the Karamay City Customs Management Bureau Shi Lingyu and her parents in turn, stretched out her jade hand to wipe away the tears that remained in the corners of her eyes, and then did the rudeest and most impolite thing she had done since she grew up - angrily brushed her sleeves away.

Although she has been away from home for many years, her boudoir parents still clean it carefully and maintain the same appearance as when she left home last time. Li Qingru ran home and returned to her cozy cabin, ignoring her parents who were chasing her and couldn't catch up, and let them apologize and beg outside the door.

Li Qingru, who was angry with her parents, locked herself in the room for more than ten hours, and her mother was afraid that she would be hungry, so she put the food at the door, but she didn't see her daughter open the door for more than ten hours.

Li Qingru couldn't bear to torture her parents like this, so she had to open the door.

Li Changlin said: "Qingru, I didn't expect your mother and you to disagree, it's because your parents are not good, when Wei Guanglun wanted to build a temple, he should have called to ask for your opinion." ”

Zhang Guizhi said: "Yes, Qingru, now the temple has been built, and you have also seen that there are not 1,000 pilgrims every day, but 800, and the incense is more prosperous than the mosque in Karamay!" You didn't come back a few months ago, and the village gave our family more than 3,000 yuan a month, which is 20% of the incense money. It's more than 3,000, and your father and I can't make money by getting up early and selling fruit for two months. ”

Li Qingru has no other way than to choose to compromise, Ruguan Ancestral Hall has become a local scenic spot, and many outsiders come here, so it is impossible to demolish the temple, and it is even more impossible to let the parents give up the monthly incense money share, the temple is dedicated to the so-called "Ruguan Niangniang", and they, as the biological parents of "Ruguan Niangniang", are even more unlikely to abandon them.

At this time, the noise of the crowd and the crying of the woman knocked on the door came from outside the hospital. Li Changlin ran out to open the door and take a look, it turned out to be Xu Xiaocui, who was steaming steamed buns in the north of the village, holding her two-year-old baby and standing outside the door, only to see that the boy was covered with blood. There were also more than a dozen men and mothers-in-law from the same village who came with her, almost all of whom Li Changlin knew, and Lu Liancai, the village party secretary, was also among them.

As soon as Xu Xiaocui entered the door, she knelt on the ground and cried: "Please save my family's second strong family!" ”

Li Changlin and his wife hurriedly called out their daughter, and they really didn't know whether there was a way to treat their daughter for such a serious injury.

Xu Xiaocui's husband Tian Benlong runs cars outside all the year round, and while she steams steamed buns and sells them, she pulls her two children, Tian Dazhuang and Tian Erzhuang, alone. Today she didn't pay attention, two-year-old Tian Erzhuang and his friends ran to the yard of Lao Liu Tou next door, there was a well in Lao Liutou's yard, a group of bear children climbed on the edge of the stone well, the youngest Tian Erzhuang did not hold steady, and fell into the well with his head down. In the deep winter, the water at the bottom of the well was frozen into ice, and when the men fished Tian Erzhuang out of the well, Tian Erzhuang had almost no breath, a big hole on his head was bursting, blood gushing, and his body was soft, and he didn't know how many bones he had injured.

Xu Xiaocui hugged her baby and cried in the courtyard of Lao Liutou, she howled so much that no one in the yard had any ideas, and finally someone proposed that Lu Liancai, the village party secretary, use his car to send Tian Erzhuang to the hospital in Karamay. But some people said that Tian Erzhuang seemed to be out of breath at this time, and he didn't know if he could be saved if he could be sent to the hospital. Suddenly, Lu Liancai thought: "Isn't the living fairy in our village in her house!" Why don't we go to her? So the crowd came to Li Changlin's house.

Master Shuang Hate Mo was very fond of her, a little disciple, and personally collected countless pills in the Dan Pharmacy of Gonglang Hall and stuffed them to Li Qingru, among which there were two seven-turn Zhutian Dan, and the rest were from one to six turns. Seeing that the child was so badly injured, Li Qingru was also very distressed, and quickly took out a "Four Transformation Bone Pill" and stuffed it into Tian Erzhuang's mouth.

When the pill entered Tian Erzhuang's mouth, it immediately spread to his limbs and bones, the broken muscles and bones were quickly restored, the torn flesh and skin healed quickly, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at everyone in confusion.

Cheers and shouts like thunder suddenly sounded in the courtyard of Li Qingru's house, and Xu Xiaocui cried even more heartbreakingly, and took the lead in kneeling on the ground and kowtowing frantically. Seeing this, everyone also hurriedly knelt down in unison, chanting words in their mouths, the scene was extremely absurd, which made Li Qingru regret saving the child.

"Ruguan Niangniang showed her magical powers and brought the dead child back to life!"

In order to prevent the gate of Li Changlin's house from being razed to the ground by the "pious" wishers, the village police station set up a cordon 50 meters outside Li Changlin's house, and all the foreign pilgrims were all guided by special personnel to go to the Ruguan Temple to make incense, and were not allowed to enter the village.

Li Qingru was expressionless as he packed up his few clothes and personal belongings, and put them into his Sumeru bag one by one.

Mother Zhang Guizhi asked crampedly, "Qingru, when will you come back next time?" ”

Li Qingru said coldly: "I don't know, it depends on the situation." ”

Zhang Guizhi said: "Your father and I are afraid of delaying your cultivation...... Practice, don't dare to call you casually, remember to call more when you're not busy. With that, he pushed several large lunch boxes that had already been packed in front of Li Qingru.

Li Qingru finally couldn't help it, and said: "Mom, after I leave, you will inevitably be pestered by them to ask for this and that, you and my father move quickly, we won't live here." ”

Zhang Guizhi said: "But ......"

Li Qingru said: "I know you are reluctant to pay the twenty percent dividend, you ask my father to go to the village chief Wei tomorrow, don't tell him to move, sign a permanent contract with him first, write down the details of the dividends of the Ruguan Ancestral Hall, and attach the bank card number to the contract, let him put the money on the card every month, and wait for two or three months to move quickly." ”

Zhang Guizhi was pleasantly surprised: "Ah! That's a good idea! I'm going to tell your dad! ”

Looking at the back of her mother turning away, that figure is actually still gentle and slender, but the years have destroyed her to the vicissitudes of life, and her beautiful skin is not with her mother? Li Qingru sighed, continued to bow her head, folded the last long dress neatly, and put it into the Sumeru bag.
