The monk got up early, Zhou Zhengqing was ravaged by Xiaobai and got up, Zhou Zhengqing grabbed Xiaobai Xun and threw it to the side, and gave a few pieces of leftover tiger jerky, over there Brother Ashou had already pushed the door in and delivered food to the two. Pickled rice porridge, the portion is very large: "Brother Zhouquan, brother will send you two some rice." Ah Shou put the food on the table, waited for the two of them to come and sit down, and said to Zhou Zhengqing with a smile: "Brother, you two eat, brother, I will discuss something with you two." Zhou Zhengqing gobbled up, drank a mouthful of porridge, and then put chopsticks and pickles in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Brother, you said, I have no other advantages, just warm-hearted."

The monk didn't intervene with the two of them, and greeted his stomach by himself.

Ah Shou rubbed his hands and smiled: "It's nothing else, it's just that I went to see the village chief last night, and the village chief heard that you two are immortal figures, and I want to see the world." Zhou Zhengqing glanced at the monk: "Just the two of us, when I saw the village chief, I turned around and lost people, and the master is probably going to quarrel to expel me from the division again."

When Ah Shou heard this, he felt that there was a drama: "Brother Zhou Quan, you meet the village chief first, there are some things I can't do, otherwise, I won't come to trouble my brother."

Zhou Zhengqing put down his chopsticks: "Okay, Brother Ashou, you are a sincere person, for your face, we also have to meet the village chief."

Ah Shou patted Zhou Zhengqing's shoulder and smiled: "Brother gives face, he is a cheerful person."

Waiting for the two to put down the chopsticks, Ah Shou beckoned his daughter-in-law to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and led the two out of the house.

Yi'an Town, the tavern diagonally opposite the pastry shop, the girl came early to clean up the shop and clean it inside and out, and the girl was a little unhappy. A man dressed in white entered the door, with a delicate face, combing his hair in a bun, pinning a delicate hosta, hanging a jade pendant from his waist, and holding a folding fan in his hand. I found a seat at random: "Girl, serve wine!"

The guests were drinking, and there was no reason why the store would not sell some, and Miss Jinyi didn't look at the man in white: "Ten years or eight years?"

The man in white squinted and smiled: "If it was done back then, you have to taste it first." The girl rolled her eyes and sneered: "It looks like a son, but I don't want to be shy!"

The man in white played with the paper fan: "Isn't it because of the girl's shyness that I put it in my bag?"

As soon as the words fell, the young man in white was cold all over his body, obviously the warm sun of early spring was soothing his whole body, but he was covered in cold sweat. Just now, as if he was completely isolated from his surroundings, he was in the void, if it wasn't for the girl at the counter to stop his hand, he was afraid that he would naturally break his soul here, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Lip stick, girl is a good means." ”

Just about to get up and exit the door, I didn't want to go to the counter, the girl sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, held her chin in one hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds with the other, and her eyes were firmly fixed on a beam above the door, and there was a small box hidden on it: "Put down the wine money, get out, don't be an eyesore!"

The young man in white got up, smiled wryly, hugged his fists, and took out his money bag. It's okay now, the butt hasn't been hot yet, a piece of broken silver is on the table, and I was about to turn around and go out, but I heard the girl's voice: "There is still money to buy life!"

The boy in white almost jumped at the risk of another sword. Damn, I didn't drink a sip of wine, I paid for the wine, and I had to take out some more money to buy my life, but I thought of the girl's sword style, I really didn't dare to make a mistake, and reluctantly took out a golden coin. Obediently put it on the table, and asked cautiously: "Girl, can I go?"

Jin Yi stretched out his hand and threw a jar of wine: "Don't move too much, otherwise you will take another sword." The young man in white had just taken over the wine jar, and when he heard this, his legs were a little weak, because he was trying to find a place, use the immortal supernatural powers, soar through the clouds, and leave quickly.

This white-clothed man, who didn't drink wine, but was seven points drunk, staggered away with the wine jar in his arms. Jin Yi put away the broken silver and fairy coins, quickly moved a stool, put it at the door, stood on the stool, took off the wooden box, opened it, and suddenly had a smile on his face, just with a little melancholy.

The boy in white is called Lin Yuegui, who was born in a big family, and he was very depressed at this time, but he came here to repay his personal affection, and he tried the depths, but he took a lot of money, and he almost put his little life here. It was not a small amount of money, it was the kind of white spring coin that was rarely seen in the life of ordinary casual cultivators, and the white spring coin was the most valuable among the several coins of the immortal family. Even if you have a solid foundation, you can't waste money like this, right? That extremely handsome girl, not only is her temper not very good, but she is really terrible when she moves, and what is even more terrifying is that the dotted lips have too big a background, and it is a rumor, a few dangerous blades that will run away immediately once they are matched, and they are all famous for killing.

Lin Yuegui felt that he was also lucky, and he had the courage to tease the woman with the dotted lips in her hand, but since she left alive from under the sword, that white spring coin was also worth it. It's just that the Sun thief who let himself taste the favor with this, I'm afraid this account will have to be recalculated.

At this time, Zhou Zhengqing didn't know that her Jinyi girl earned him a lot of money, and with an understatement of the sword, she scared away a fairy in the Engraved Law Realm.

Ah Shou took his thoughtful brother and a bald head to the village chief's house, which was very large. In the more than 200 years since moving to Taoyuan Village, the village chief can be said to have become a hereditary system here. The three of them entered the gate, and there were three rooms in the courtyard, with a vegetable patch circled on one side and a chicken coop on the other. In the innermost room, a man in his mid-forties with gray-haired hair pushed open the door, with a wooden cigarette pouch rod pinned to his waist. When I saw the three of them, I quickly let them into the house. The village chief unhurriedly took out the cigarette pouch pot, filled it with some tobacco, lit it by himself, grabbed the cigarette pouch rod with one hand and pointed to the tables and chairs in the room: "Sit, sit, there is nothing to entertain everyone at home, so I soaked some chrysanthemum leaves, drank saliva, warmed my body, and it was strange that it was cold in spring." Ah Shou took out the teacup and poured tea for the two of them.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at the village chief with a cigarette pouch: "Village chief, we young people, we can bear the cold, I heard that the village chief wanted to see the two of us, so we hurriedly came over." After a while, we will buy some needlework and dry food from the village chief, and we should be on our way, don't we dare to ask the elders of the division to wait for a long time, right?"

The village chief looked out the window and turned back with a smile: "It's not that I have to keep you in this ravine for a few more days, it's true, alas." The village chief sighed. Ah Shou also had a sad face. The monk was direct, and he silently recited the scriptures, and he looked like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change his color.

Zhou Zhengqing then asked: "Village chief, if you have any problems, you can tell me, and if you can help, we will do our best."

Zhou Zhengqing made up his mind to stay early in the morning, this village is really a bit special, and he is in an embarrassing situation outside the control of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, just saying that he quietly guarded the altar all night last night, which is indeed very strange. In front of the gloomy room, the woman who was tied up was like a living sacrifice, and the sound of the night that Brother Ashou said did not appear. In addition, the most important thing is that Zhou Zhengqing found that he couldn't leave the village last night, and at first he thought that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, but when the sky was bright, Zhou Zhengqing tried it again and denied the conclusion that the ghost hit the wall. However, Zhou Zhengqing can be sure that it is definitely not the masterpiece of the national teacher, that is, his own Mr. Han, with Mr. 's means, this kind of clumsy carving insect skills, that is, dog meat can't be served. If it weren't for the monk's desire for Zhou Zhengqing to go and see the woman on the altar first, Zhou Zhengqing wouldn't have found out about these things. Ever since the monk saw the altar, the monk has actually been thinking that the monk is indeed a good monk. He wanted to save people, but he couldn't do it, even if the monk really saved the woman, then after the monk left, would the woman's fate really change, and the monk did not have the force to save people for a while.

Zhou Zhengqing wandered outside all night, and when he came back, he showed the monk his current situation, and the monk did not hand Zhou Zhengqing the wine gourd this time, first, the monk also felt weird, second, the wine gourd was out of wine, and the third was that the monk was also weird, not only did not speak, but even a little depressed.

The village chief took a sip of the cigarette pouch and pot, and slowly spoke: "My surname is Tao, and I am the fifth oldest in the family, and I have no name, everyone calls me Tao Lao Wu." The village chief surnamed Tao paused and spat out a cigarette: "It was about ten years ago in the summer, and it rained a lot, but the special thing was that the thunder was very loud that day. The rain continued overnight, and the next morning the villagers woke up to find that a large part of the mountain had collapsed to the west, but fortunately no one was hurt. Just smashed an old house that no one lived in for a long time. But something terrible happened.

The day after that, a man died in the village, and the death was very miserable, and no matter how strong a person was, he would be emaciated after death. After that, every other month, there would always be a person in the village who died inexplicably, and all of them died in the night. People began to panic, and everyone was afraid that they would be the next to die. After that, everyone discussed that they wanted to escape from the village and go outside, but something even more terrible happened, no one could leave here, and everyone would always return to the village after going around and around. This atmosphere of terror enveloped the whole village. We began to think of ways to worship the gods of the mountains, the land, and the gods, but it was like a place abandoned by the gods, and no one could help us. People said that the mountain god was angry and wouldn't let us out of the mountain, so he ......". The village chief stopped talking.

The monk's face was ugly, and the monk was silent, but the monk was never stupid, and even he was always smarter than many people. Sincere monks recite scriptures silently, and only in this way can they ease their inner restlessness. The monk looked at Zhou Zhengqing, his eyes clear and firm. Zhou Zhengqing understood, so everyone began to sacrifice the murderer with living people. Zhou Zhengqing even had a chill down his spine, he couldn't imagine that people's hearts could be so ruthless.

Zhou Zhengqing didn't seem to hear what the village chief meant, and sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such suffering in the village." The village chief's face was overjoyed: "Little brother Zhou Quan, did you promise to stay and help?" Zhou Zhengqing laughed and replied: "Brother Ah Shou, village chief, what if I don't agree?"

Ah Shou's sad face had a little smile, and his originally angular face instantly became a little cold: "Hehe, Brother Zhouquan, it's better to agree, when the matter is resolved, it's not too late for me to bring you some good food and then go on the road." The monk originally held the Buddhist beads and recited the scriptures, but suddenly he lost his voice and leaned down on the chair. The village chief knocked on the cigarette pouch pot on the sole of his shoe, and looked up at Zhou Zhengqing: "I said little brother, your bald friend who made the knife has fallen asleep, or you should think about it again!" Zhou Zhengqing looked at the scene in front of him, suddenly felt very funny, and then fell backwards.

In Kyoto, Daming, somewhere in the palace, a middle-aged man, dressed in blue, had a cold face, but now he actually had a smile, Zhao Jiu's mixture could save him a lot of thoughts for Han Tuolu.

Zhou Zhengqing opened his eyes and looked at the monk: "What do you want to do?" The monk stopped chanting and looked up at the environment. Both of them were tied up and trapped in a cellar, with nothing but cold and gloomy surroundings. The sincere monk showed sadness: "I just heard part of the facts, and I felt cold all over my body. The monk's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy or sorrow. Zhou Zhengqing pouted: "You can stop me from killing, but can you bear this body?" The monk was silent and no longer bothered Zhou Zhengqing. Zhou Zhengqing didn't bother to find himself bored, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The monk didn't get any poison, and the fainting was just a reminder to Zhou Zhengqing to kill people slowly. If Zhou Zhengqing wanted to kill, he had no ability to stop it, he just reminded him as a friend. The monk also knew that Zhou Zhengqing was not killed, but Zhou Zhengqing's emotional changes made him remember it vividly, and that kind of crazy atmosphere had already impressed the monk when Zhou Zhengqing fought with the evil tiger who was cultivating.

When Zhou Zhengqing pretended to faint as a monk, he had already sensed that he was slowly losing control, and instinctively wanted to destroy everything in front of him. Thinking back to before leaving his hometown, he couldn't help but think of what the girl said that the anger could not be suppressed, thinking of that girl, his heart was slowly calm for no reason, and he let his brother Ashou handle it. As for why the monk was not poisoned, he Zhou Zhengqing saw with his own eyes some kind of pill that the monk put in his mouth to prevent people's hearts before going out, no matter how it is said that it also came from a big temple, this means is not surprising.

Two hours later, the sound of footsteps came, and Brother Ah Shou opened the small door on the cellar, and the originally dark sight shone in as the scattered earth and gravel fell. Brother Ah Shou climbed down the ladder: "I said Brother Zhouquan, think about it, you shouldn't know, even if I let you go now, you can't get out of Taoyuan Village, I originally planned to wait for you to know that you can't get out, and then ask you to help, but you, a little clever, we feel that we can't hide it, more is better than less, and direct points also save mutual suspicion." ”

Zhou Zhengqing looked at his old brother Ashou: "Brother, what are you talking about, I'm just joking, don't we have to catch ghosts first if we want to go!" The burly man's hearty laughter came: "Haha, I'll just say that my brother Zhou Quan is an understanding person, you still have to tease my little brother." Saying that, he walked to Zhou Zhengqing's side, untied the rope, and went to untie the monk: "Let's go, go out to eat something good, I must be a little sour and numb after tying my hands and feet all morning." ”

Zhou Zhengqing climbed out of the cellar mouth, and there were six strong men standing outside, holding an unstructured and simple big knife in their hands, without a scabbard, it seemed that this was the source of his confidence that Brother Ashou would let himself out so easily. The monk and Ah Shou climbed up, and Ah Shou patted Zhou Zhengqing on the shoulder: "Brother, you are both disciples of the Immortal Family, I also have to prepare and make a show, but I can't lose the face of Taoyuan Village." ”

Zhou Zhengqing laughed: "Brother Ah Shou is a little condescending to stay in the village, it's better to wait for me to catch ghosts, go back to Shimen with me, and learn some fairy spells!" Ah Shou led the two to the front house, six strong men with simple knives followed behind, Ah Shou said as he walked: "Brother said it's not funny, I don't dare to climb high, brother, you catch ghosts, I will nest in this small mountain village for a lifetime, don't worry about food and clothing, and save yourself to worry about eating outside." ”

When I entered the house, there were a few dishes on the table, with meat and vegetables, which was very good. The three of them sat down, and the six strong men with knives did not enter the door, but stood outside the door. The monk was silent, eating his meal, and was tied up all morning, already hungry. Zhou Zhengqing asked while eating: "When are we going to catch ghosts, if we wait for ten days and eight days, it is estimated that my master will not be able to bear to find him." There was a strong grinding sound of the door folding, and the village chief dragged the cigarette pouch pole into the house and did not sit down: "You must solve the current problem first, don't you? You are all smart people, and the man-eating ghosts are our common enemy, solve it, we can meet all your conditions, and a few more friends will also be a good thing for you." Not only for us, but also for the more than 200 innocent villagers in the village, but also for yourself. We have never done anything wrong and just want to live simply. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Zhengqing to speak, the monk stood up: "The little monk is willing to bear it." This monk, who has rarely spoken, has made up his mind at this moment, perhaps from the moment he walked into Taoyuan Village, he has already made up his mind. Zhou Zhengqing didn't know why the monk took this burden in one bite, it is true that the monk is kind, but the monk has always been a smart person, and he is not pedantic and smart.

The village chief looked at the monk who had never said anything: "Little brother, that's right, I haven't moved your things, and the white wolf hasn't been treated badly, so I'll ask the two immortals to take action." If nothing else, the ghost will appear tonight. The village won't trouble the two of you for anything, so we'll leave the dirty work of drawing out the ghosts. The monk raised his head slowly, and his voice was not loud: "Don't bother the donor, the female donor let her go home." The village chief surnamed Tao hesitated, and Ah Shou put down his chopsticks: "Fifth brother, believe this little brother once, if he is not sure, he can't say it, besides, this bald little brother will not think about what if, you say yes." ”

Village Chief Tao Wu nodded: "Since that's the case, then listen to you." After catching a terrible ghost, the wine and meat are enough. As he spoke, he lifted the stem of the tobacco pouch, loaded it with tobacco leaves, lit it, and went out. Ah Shou also got up to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Zhengqing: "Brother Ah Shou, let's walk around the village in a while, we have to find something that can be used." In addition, the wolf cub had to take care of the two of us, and the monk didn't like to talk, so I pointed to it as a companion. Ah Shou grinned: "That's not a big deal." The painful sound of the door opening came, and as the old wooden door collided with the door frame, Ah Shou went out.

The two of them had all their things in the house, Zhou Zhengqing rummaged through the monk's bamboo box and took out a gourd, but was snatched away by the monk. The monk opened the gourd, sniffed it, closed the lid again, and set the gourd aside. Zhou Zhengqing touched the monk's bare head: "Yo, the monks want to drink?"

At least now, this monk who was born in the realm of the law has deeply realized the sentence "The law does not rise alone, but the realm is born".
