"A small Yangzhou city has actually attracted people from Penglai Island, recently this Yangzhou City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, what are you here for?"

Or rather, he was beaten back to his normal appearance.

"Where is it difficult for my Penglai Island monk to come and where is it going to be difficult to tell you? What qualifications do you have to ask this, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about my palace monk. ”

Ximen Xun bowed his head slightly and said weakly: "The fairy laughed, how dare the old man have such disrespectful thoughts, it's just that the countrymen haven't seen a Lingbo fairy like you for too long and are a little surprised." ”

"Oh, is that so?" the hooded woman disagreed.

"Don't dare to deceive in the slightest. After that, Ximen Xun gave a martial arts fist salute to the woman in the hat, looking respectful.

"I disturbed the fairy's practice a lot just now, and now that the misunderstanding has been solved, then I will take a step back first, and I won't hinder the fairy's eyes. Ximen Xun first cautiously moved two steps, he glanced at the woman in the hat out of the corner of his eye, and did not move, and suddenly kicked up, like an old ape climbing a tree, climbing over the wall and escaping without a trace.

The woman in the hat sneered: "Hehe, the old man is so afraid of death, it's not worth my shot." ”

"Junior, thank you to the fairy for coming to the rescue. Lu Jingyuan bowed to the hooded woman.

The woman in the hat looked straight ahead and said, "It's just a convenient thing, you don't need to thank me." ”

"It may be an inconspicuous thing for the fairy, but for the younger generation, it is like being pulled back by the ghost gate after being closed for a while, and the younger generations dare not forget this kindness. ”

"Boy, you're a nice guy, and I'm a little impressed. ”

"I don't know if the fairy is not named, and the younger generation will have the opportunity to repay the fairy in the future. Lu Jingyuan, who had been keeping his head down, gently looked up at the purple-clothed woman wearing a hood, the condescending fairy gave people a great sense of oppression and crampedness, and his cultivation was shocking and noble.

"Penglai Island, Bihai Palace, Lu Lianying. ”

Lu Jingyuan remembered the name seriously, and then opened his mouth again: "If Fairy Lu has any needs in Yangzhou in the future, only if he doesn't think the juniors are despicable, he will come to the Lu family's mansion in Yangzhou City to find the juniors, and the door of the Lu family will be opened for the fairy at any time." ”

After Lu Jingyuan finished speaking, he rubbed his chest and helped Chen Xiu up, and the two of them staggered all the way.

"Wait. The fairy surnamed Lu waved his hand and threw out a beam of light.

"Hmm, Fairy Lu, is this?" Lu Jingyuan looked at the two jujube-colored pills that suddenly appeared in his palm, and his face was shocked.

"The two of you are seriously injured, if there is no miracle medicine, I am afraid that it will not last long, I still remember your promise just now, so you can't die easily, eat it, it is good for the injury." The fairy surnamed Lu had a very soft voice, and it didn't seem to be mixed with any feelings, and her actions should have really aroused interest in the words of the gentleman just now.

"Thank you Fairy Lu, thank you for your great kindness. Lu Jingyuan felt that the wounds in his body had already healed, so he didn't take the pill, and only fed Chen Xiu the next one, and the latter slowly adjusted the lingering breath in his body, and this immortal medicine really had a miraculous effect and began to play a role.

"That junior took the first step and didn't disturb the fairy's retreat here. ”

Lu Jingyuan walked to the open field in the front yard and suddenly heard a slight sound and shadowy sobbing in the side house on the west side, so he went to check alone, and found a burlap bag containing a person, he quickly untied the pocket, and sure enough, it was the little daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family who was abducted by thieves a few days ago.

Probably after the effect of the medicine, Xiao Qianjin woke up but found that she was bound in a sack, but she didn't know what the situation was, she didn't know what the thieves would do to her, so she didn't dare to move and secretly cried alone.

"Little girl, don't cry, the bad guys have been beaten away, you are safe now. Lu Jingyuan looked at the little girl with a porcelain white complexion and smiled with a smile.

"Who are you? Where am I now? The little girl stared at him timidly with wide eyes, and she glanced quickly at her surroundings, still frightened at the words of the young man.

"We are currently very close to Yangzhou City, and my brother will take you home later. ”

"Big brother, do you know where my house is?" The little girl believed Lu Jingyuan's words after confirming that there was no trace of that gang of vicious and evil people around.

"I know you, your surname is Yu, and your home is in Shangshufu, Yangzhou City. ”

"Brother, you're also from Yangzhou! Because the little girl didn't stand up for a long time, her legs and feet were a little numb, and she almost fell down when she stood up happily, and Lu Jingyuan pinched her shoulder.

The little girl was about four feet tall, wearing a dark green skirt, wearing a golden longevity lock around her neck, and a thick black hair.

"Yes, the eldest brother is also from Yangzhou, my family is still very familiar with your family, and I came to save you this time. Lu Jingyuan squatted down to help the little girl pat the dust on her body, and then stood up and led the little girl out of the side room.

"Big brother, what's your last name?"

"My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Jingyuan. ”

"Lu Jingyuan, my brother's name is very good!"

"Oh, yes? I think it's pretty good. ”

"Brother, my name is Yu Shuangshuang. ”

"Parking and sitting in love with the maple forest in the evening, the frost leaves are red in February flowers, frost frost, what a poetic good name. ”

"Brother, you really can talk!"

............

The woman surnamed Lu wearing a hat looked at the backs of the three people in the distance, a little distracted, his eyes were all fixed on the young boy in brocade clothes, her strange behavior at this time was not because of the mysterious aura that suddenly erupted on the previous person's body, but because she couldn't help but breed some strange emotions when she saw the handsome face to the extreme.

The outline, the eyes, seem to be a little familiar?

Forget it, forget it, since she can't think of it, she doesn't think about it, she suddenly turned around and disappeared in place.

————

Yangzhou is the central hinterland of the Yan Zhao Dynasty, the richest in the Central Plains belongs to the Yan State, and the Yan State is the most proud of Yangzhou, which has been spread for nearly 1,300 years.

Since ancient times, the wealthy gentry of Yangzhou counties and counties have been as many as cattle and barnyard grass, and the financial resources of the four major families are even comparable to the small countries of the Central Plains, and the traders and people are happy to make a living, and the famous private houses can enjoy a stable life, and the nobles can reach out to cover half the sky, and the golden trough in the hinterland is not groundless, which has been confirmed by countless people.

There are four major families in Yangzhou, namely Zheng, Lu, Song, and Sun, and the four families are famous families in Yangzhou. Zheng Mansion is Yan State Anyang Hou, Lu Mansion sits on the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce, Song Mansion ancestor is the founding father, as for Sun Mansion I don't know why it rose, but it is like dung, and gold is used as soil.

The huge Lu Mansion covers an area of nearly four acres of land, and the courtyard walls are all red kiln treasure bricks. Yangzhou red kiln brick is the palace royal use, there is a kiln factory in the northwest of the state, occupies most of the mountain, stands in Yangzhou this rich land for nearly two hundred years, but there is no slightest trend of decline, every day to come and go merchants, the palace eunuch is countless, so the red kiln silver brick is famous all over the north and south of the river.

The lowest layer of the outer wall of the Lv house is stacked with ancient brown Yun'an Dali blood swallow stone, the middle layer of masonry red bricks is overlapped and stacked to a foot high, and the top layer is covered with green grease glazed tiles, and the three colors and textures complement each other to show the luxury of Yonghua.

The main gate is made of two solid slabs of copper and black iron first cast and then pressed by precision, which is impregnable and impregnable. Three feet above the forehead of the door hangs an agarwood cork plaque framed by a gold bag, and the four characters of "Yangzhou Lufu" on the plaque are flying dragons and snakes, which contain the momentum of great fortune and great luck.

As early as 30 years ago, a middle-aged Taoist who passed by here stared blankly for an hour under the plaque and muttered, "These four characters are mentioned by the land immortals, who are rich and noble, can attract phoenixes to live in, and can protect the people of the tribe for 50 years of peace and peace." ”

Although time has passed, as the Taoist said, the Lu Mansion has risen step by step in the past 30 years, and it has really been blessed by the gods in the world.

After Lu Jingyuan and the other three arrived in Yangzhou City on horseback, he first sent Chen Xiu to send his little daughter back to his house safely, and then wandered the streets alone, not coming back for a long time, wanting to see what new tricks Yangzhou City had added, and casually looking for those friends who came and went in the wind and rain on weekdays.

It is the middle of winter in the lunar month, Yangzhou is located in the northern plain of the Central Plains, naturally it is a heavy snow, there are few merchants and tourists in the daytime, the heavy snow covers a small half, and in a blink of an eye, it is trampled again, the soft white snow on both sides of the road turns into a slender trickle to meet the drainage ditch, and there is a small stall at the corner of Dangyang Street.

"Authentic Taoism, fortune-telling and divination, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and it is not allowed to absolutely not collect money!" A priest is sitting on a purple wooden bench, dressed in a white Taoist robe, with a pair of yin and yang Xuanyu painted on the back, a pair of yin and yang Xuanyu with heads and tails painted on the back, a dim yellow old jade hairpin with some years old inserted in a high bun, and a few strands of white hair are left at the sideburns, fluttering like feathers.

The Taoist priest in front of him looked at his face and nodded slightly, different from the ordinary middle-aged people's fat and bloated, the Taoist was emaciated, energetic, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, looking left and right, whenever someone passed by, he raised his head and stretched his neck to shout and beckon.

"This girl, don't leave in such a hurry, I see a red spot on your eyebrows, this is a great omen!" The Taoist priest shouted, slapped his palm on the table, startled the woman in the yellow dress passing by, the Taoist has a profound appearance, sitting dignified and serious, quite imposing, and his eyes are bright.

"Master, are you really talking about? Don't you deceive the little girl?" The woman in the yellow dress looked suspicious, she was passing by this street market for the first time, and she was originally happy to visit her mother, but she was intercepted by the Taoist priest halfway, and her face was a little embarrassed.

"Master, what do you say?" the woman sat down in disbelief.

"Girl, just now the old man pinched his fingers, but someone in the girl's family is sick? And he has been sick for a long time, and he can't be paralyzed for a long time, is it true?" The middle-aged Taoist priest gently pulled the sleeves of his shirt up, pretending to be deep, and stared at the eyes of the woman in the yellow dress very seriously.

"Hey, the master is really clever, how do you know these situations, I haven't mentioned them to outsiders?"

The woman in the yellow dress was suddenly very worried in her heart, and a few hints of surprise vaguely sprung up, and she placed the covered bamboo basket on the snow.

"Girl, can you take a closer look at the bowl-sized handwriting on my flag?" the Taoist raised his hand and pointed upward, coughed slightly, covered it with his left hand, and sold a pair of Sven.

"Authentic Taoism. The woman read word by word, the rag of sheepskin hanging on the banner was like the foot cloth of ordinary people, and the few black letters were like plasters pasted on the cloth.

"Yes, Poor Dao was born in Xichuan Bailongguan, and he is an orthodox Taoist disciple. I just observed that there is a trace of unknown clues in you, out of a heroic and righteous spirit, the ancestral master's legacy is not visible, and he will not be rescued in an emergency, and he will not be eliminated in trouble, so he hurriedly stopped you in the next place, do you know what the meaning of the red mark in the center of the eyebrows is?"

"The slave family doesn't know, master, please speak!" The woman in the yellow dress was convinced at the moment, although the Great Yan Kingdom was the place where Confucianism was carried forward, it could be said that there were talents walking all over the streets in a country, and there were countless people, but Confucianism was prosperous but it was not the only one country.

A thousand years ago, there was a heyday when a hundred schools of thought contended, and then under the ruthless crushing of the wheel of history, the school of no mathematics was eclipsed, and those who could survive and flourish under the big waves were regarded as the scholars of the world.

As early as 800 years ago, the Taoist school was introduced to the central Yan Kingdom from the Southern Chu Treasure Realm, and for a long time under the rule of Confucianism and many rules, the sudden Qingzhi Taoism was easily bred and thrived in the Yan Kingdom, and became the second only great religion to Confucianism.

The woman in the yellow dress has a graceful figure, not to mention how luxurious and rich she is, not to mention how luxurious and wealthy she is, but also a second-class mansion maid and maid.

The palm-sized face was slightly red, a pair of bright eyes were full of sorrow, and two bundles of willow eyebrows were tightly wrinkled and almost crowded together.

The playful wealthy maid in front of a pillar of incense was still elated, and when she was called by the Taoist to sit down, there was an omen of impending disaster.

The woman's eyebrows really have red marks, not to mention whether what the priest said is true or false, these red marks must have been made by the woman in the yellow dress herself.

"If you want to avoid the evil and get the auspicious first press the copper coin ten times, this is the rule set by the ancestors can not be bad, one less is more dangerous, it is a disaster for people and things, our Taoist pays attention to collecting money and eliminating disasters from people, if it is not the original number of compensation is. The more the Taoist priest talked, the more mysterious he became, he was originally full of interest, his saliva was dry, and he kept a silent expression after slowly drinking a sip of warm tea.

"Master, I only took out five copper coins, and the extra five coins really can't be taken out......" The woman in the yellow dress stopped talking, her fingers clasped the hem of her skirt, and she twisted and pinched a little.

"It's still the same sentence, one less is more dangerous, and there are cheap ones, but I'm afraid that the culprit can't be eradicated, think about it yourself, and then talk about it after thinking about it. The Taoist said that the wind was light, it seemed that it was not his own business, and he didn't care at all, and he greeted the travelers by the way.

"Alas, that aunt, you wait, the poor road sees that your eyes are dark, and the hall is purple, for fear of bad omen!"

"Bullnose old man, who do you say is the aunt!

"Then eldest sister, eldest sister, you wait to hear what I have to say!" The Taoist looked at the middle-aged woman with fierce eyes helplessly, could it be that he had just said the wrong thing? Isn't it right to save people and accumulate blessings? So a person sighed there.

"Then, the master, I will give you ten copper coins, no more than a penny and no less, this is my two months of savings, and today I will explain it here in one fell swoop, just to break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, I hope the master can bless my family with safety." The woman in the yellow dress struggled with her eyes, suddenly stiffened, bent down and took out ten copper coins in the bamboo basket, and gently rested them on the mahogany table.

"The reason why your mother is sick is not because she is naturally sick because of old age, but because others have played tricks on villains and planted a curse in each of your three families. As for you and your sister who is under the age of sixteen in the family, the evil magic will only slowly invade your mental organs, and the end of less than fifteen years will be the same as that of your fifty-seven-year-old mother. ”

"Then master, please save the slave family, our family has always been very good to neighbors and relatives, although it is not a rich and noble family, but it also earns conscience money to live a stable life, and has never offended others, who persecuted us so much, master, you want to save the little girl!"

The girl in the yellow dress had red and swollen eyes, her chest slowly rose and fell due to mood swings, the woman choked and whispered, holding a silk handkerchief in her left hand to wipe the tears on her face from time to time, and the light makeup was obviously a little messy after a swallow warbler cried, and the Taoist tried to calm the young girl's silence and gently reminded.

"The girl doesn't have to complain like this, the beautiful girl is crying like a big cat, there is a way to deal with the symptoms, just wait for a while, the little skill of the demon carving insect will not fall down. Just a few clumsy evil arts, I will draw a few charms for you, a golden light charm, three evil charms, three peace charms, and keep the family safe and sound. ”

The Taoist tinkered in the drawer for a long time, pulled out seven or eight yellow charms, spread them on the table, there is a bowl-sized jade inkstone in the upper right corner, obliquely put a cow consumption jade pen, the Taoist holds the pen in the inkstone trough and turns a circle evenly, the cow consumes full of pitch-black ink, the Taoist borrows a wooden ruler to press the yellow charm, and draws dozens of handwriting with the pen, all in one go, without stopping at all.

The posture was like that of a Confucian bachelor, and eight nine-inch talismans were written in obscure words, and the woman was stunned and in a daze, and the worries in her heart gradually disappeared.

"The Golden Light Mantra is placed vertically on the door beam on the inner side of your door, and be careful to avoid the view as much as possible. The evil charm is torn into pieces and brewed into tea with boiling water, and the three of them drink it once a day in the morning and evening, which is enough for seven days. The three peace charms are worn close to the body, keeping your family from demons, and finally I am sending you a charm to enshrine next to the statue of the Bodhisattva in your house, have you remembered the usage of the eight charms?"

"Master, the little girl has remembered, I can hear this life-saving dependence clearly. The woman in the yellow dress solemnly put away the eight golden talismans and put them in her underwear to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Thanks to the master's kindness, the little woman is gracious and thanks, farewell!" The snow became more and more ferocious, and the woman wrapped in a silver silk cotton coat and a bamboo basket disappeared in the market, and the sky was dark.

"Wow wow!" I don't know when a crow rested on an old withered willow overhead, and the Taoist raised his hand to look.

"Let's go, you bad thing, don't cause bad luck to the poor Dao!" The Taoist dug a stone at his feet and threw it at the crow, and the blackbird screamed out of the Taoist's sight.

Just as the Taoist was closing the stall, a cough suddenly sounded, and a figure came by the wind and snow, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and walking towards the Taoist with a gloomy face.
