Volume 1 The Spark Ignites Chapter 3 Heavenly Palace and Earth
Compared with Zhongzhou, Xiling is located in a remote area, not prosperous, and even a little turbulent.
The forces of all parties are mixed, the Great Sui Dynasty in Zhongzhou can't intervene, the monks of the Great Leiyin Temple, and the bull nose of the Taoist Sect, forming sects in this land, and it is common to violate the ban by force.
When he went to the pawnshop to pawn the blood jade chain, Ning Yi had several hearts, refused the shopkeeper's kindness to auction on his behalf, and took four hundred taels of silver and left...... Ning Yi didn't know, but in the desolate area of Qingbai City, Ning Yi probably knew the bones buried every year.
Even if you can really shoot a thousand taels, it has nothing to do with you.
On a sunny afternoon, Ning Yi led Pei Fu, and the two of them changed into a new set of clothes...... It was purely a last resort that there was no "harvest" for several days.
Who wants to deal with those gods and ghosts?
Ning Yida lived in the Bodhisattva temple for more than ten years, even if he didn't believe in the way of gods and ghosts in his heart, he still had a sense of awe.
What is it that is three feet away?
Ning Yi didn't know, but he knew that his life was not easy.
When you can bow your head, you bow your head, why bother to compete with those who don't?
"Four hundred taels, you and I bought a total of six sets of clothes, spent one tael, bought you a hairpin, spent half a tael, ate a good meal, half a tael, scattered things, plus a total of four taels and a half. Ning Yi snapped his fingers and said with a sad face: "Pei Fu, why did you say that a map of Xiling is so expensive, and it was sold for ten taels?
The girl who was holding Ning Yi's arm changed into a white dress, and specially spent half a tael of silver to buy an imitation sword, which was placed on the waist, jumping and jumping, extremely happy, and said with a smile: "Four hundred taels, we still have more than three hundred taels left, and there is a ~ big handful~"
When it came to "one", Pei Fu jumped a big step forward, turned around and made a cat face, opened his teeth and claws, and could see that the girl was really happy, and squatted down at the roadside stall again, smiling and picking out those little girls' things.
Ning Yi sighed, squatted down with her, watched Pei Fu pick and choose, and finally played with a red fish jade pendant, and couldn't put it down.
Ning Yi said helplessly: "We can't go on foot, we hire a car all the way, Xiling is very chaotic, if you still have to follow the caravan...... You're going to nag me again, just spend your money, anyway, halfway through, if we don't have enough money, I'll sell you, just scrape together some travel expenses, and continue to go back to my broken temple to live. ”
Pei Fu "put it back" with a bitter face, and the hand rested in mid-air, obviously waiting for someone to speak.
Ning Yi looked at the sun shining on Pei Fu's side face, this face was clean and immature, bright and moving, with stretched facial features, like a hibiscus out of the water, gritting his teeth and frowning at the moment, it was really pitiful.
Ning Yi suddenly had a big headache, and said bitterly: "Buy it, buy it." ”
Pei Fu was unmoved, still looking like he was going to put down the jade pendant, Chu Chu said pitifully: "I'm afraid that if the money is not enough, you will sell me and go back to Xiling alone." ”
Ning Yi raised his forehead and sighed: "If the money is not enough, I will sell myself, okay, ancestor?"
Pei Fu was still unhappy, and muttered, "Then don't do it, I want to be with Ning Yi!"
The stall owner looked at the girl's half side face, and was stunned, and couldn't help but want to give away this jade pendant, and by the way, teach the poor boy in front of him a lesson.
Ning Yi sighed, thinking that this girl would probably be a disaster to the country and the people when she grew up, so she hurriedly threw down a small copper coin, turned around and pulled Pei Fu away.
The girl screamed all the way, and the boy dragged in front of him, walked past the street stall, and then stopped slightly.
Pei Fu jumped in front of Ning Yi, supported his knees with his hands, smiled, and said with a smile: "Ning Yi, you are so good!"
Ning Yi didn't eat this set, pinched Pei Fu's face with both hands, fiddled back and forth, looked at the girl's appearance of crying out in pain, thinking that the things were almost ready at this time, he glanced at the still bulging waist bag, was in a good mood, and corrected with a smile: "It's good to be rich." ”
At the gate of Qingbai City, there was a buzzing sound of opening.
The crowd surged.
Ning Yi narrowed his eyes, hugged Pei Fu and took two steps back.
The streets of the White City made way for a road to come out.
After the city gate was opened, more than a dozen tall and strong white horses trampled on their faces, the sound of horses' hooves shook their ears for a while, and the people riding on the tall white horses were all in a big white linen robe, the big white linen robe was not very clean, and there were blood stains that did not have time to be cleaned.
Ning Yi's face became solemn, he turned his back to the cultivators who were riding white horses and wearing white robes, raised a finger to his lips, sighed softly, and then opened his arms and gently hugged Pei Fu.
Pei Fu was stunned, did not resist, pursed his lips, stretched his eyebrows, with a smile, his hands naturally wrapped around Ning Yi's waist, the whole person was buried in Ning Yi's chest, and he took a deep breath.
There was a rustling sound in the crowd.
"It's the people of the 'Heavenly Palace'...... They have always been high-profile, but Xiling is not their territory, why did they come to Qingbai City?"
"I heard about the mass graves outside the city...... Something unclean has run out, and the major forces that are close to each other should all arrive in Qingbai City soon after hearing the news. There are not only cultivators from the Heavenly Palace, but also strange people from the underworld, and several holy mountains over there in Zhongzhou may also come. ”
"And I heard that in the second half of last night, when that 'thing' ran out, Tiangong had already fought with 'it'. Looks like...... Didn't get any benefit. The person beside Ning Yi looked around and frowned in a low voice: "Those people in Zhongzhou are faster than the people from the Great Leiyin Temple and the Dao Sect, which means that there may be a lot of opportunities on that 'thing'." ”
"Serendipity?" another person pondered, "The mass grave has always been evil...... Da Lei Yin Temple and Dao Sect wanted to pry a cemetery, but seventy or eighty disciples died before and after, and none of them came out, will it be this time?"
There was movement outside the gates, it sounded like the sound of a sword, and the crowd began to riot again.
Hearing the conversation between those people before, Ning Yi and Pei Fu were silent for a while, and took advantage of this opportunity to quickly sneak out of the crowd of onlookers in Qingbai City, find a remote place, and then carefully leave the city.
Along.
Mass graves, wicked, unclean things......
These words stirred back and forth in his mind, and the invisible pressure pressed in Ning Yi's heart, last night's experience was like a big stone, even those people in the Heavenly Palace didn't keep it, what kind of thing is it, it can't really be released by himself, right?
The evil feeling in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.
Hurrying all the way, Ning Yi's scalp was numb, and he asked in a low voice: "Pei Fu, when you came down to pick me up, did you see any vision?"
The girl who was carried by Ning Yi all the way trotted was a little confused, and muttered: "No, the cemetery is empty, and the lights are blind, I can't see anything, I climbed up with you on my back, and dragged you away for a while, and finally I was about to leave, when I heard a strange voice on the side of the mass grave......"
Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, the two of us have a big life, if you are slower, meet the Heavenly Palace, encounter the unclean thing, it is estimated that we will all have to finish playing." ”
When he arrived at the Guanyin Temple, Ning Yi was still restless, but Pei Fu was the old god, and he was as calm as a mountain in the wind and rain, stuffing red dates into his mouth one by one, and muttered: "Are you worried about monsters...... That thing came out, and there was a fight with the people of the Heavenly Palace, and it is estimated that it didn't get any benefits, and if you want to find and find the people of the Heavenly Palace, you can't find us, besides, we let it out, and it will come to the door thanks to us. ”
Ning Yi took a deep breath and rubbed his eyebrows.
He looked at his right hand, he didn't say anything about "Sui Yang Zhu" to Pei Fu, the bead was broken in his hand, and since then, the feeling of gloom has been entangled in his heart.
Ning Yi looked around left and right, gritted his teeth and said: "This is the Bodhisattva Temple, I don't believe it, you still dare to make a mistake in front of the Bodhisattva?"
Pei Fu sat at the head of the bed, watched the young man untie the big package, and began to take things outside in the same way.
Xiling is evil, when he was in Qingbai City, Ning Yi bought a lot of self-defense things.
The canned black dog's blood was sprinkled on the ground, and a peachwood sword hung high in front of the temple, swaying in the wind.
Pei was dumbfounded.
Ning Yi shook his head and turned around three times, then took out a bunch of garlic and hung it on the head of the bed.
Pei Fu picked up the garlic with disgust, frowned beautifully, covered his nose and said, "Ning Yi, when did you buy it?"
Ning Yi squinted at the girl, took the garlic, broke half of it, took a deep breath, held back her breath and said: "Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, we will leave tomorrow, if the monster dares to come to the door tonight, I will let it see what it means to be mad." ”
Pei Fu watched Ning Yi stop and go, and arranged the broken temple inside and out, and finally he was still not at ease, so he took out the "Panlong Incense" bought in his bag, lit it quite distressingly, and inserted it in front of the Bodhisattva statue, the smoke in the incense burner dispersed, Ning Yi seriously folded his hands, whispered, stared at the Bodhisattva statue for a long time, and then inserted two cloves of garlic into the incense burner......
The smell of the temple has become very strange.
After doing this, it was already dark, and the two of them casually coped with some food.
Ning Yi inspected again, and the uneasy thoughts in his heart dissipated, only slightly, and pushed Pei Fu into the bed with peace of mind, and said, "Bear with it, it's only tonight and one night, and we'll leave at dawn." ”
Pei Fu pinched his nose, very reluctant, and still squeezed into a small broken bed with Ning Yi.
Ning Yi, who had made all plans, opened his eyes and stared at the string of garlic hanging on the head of his bed, ready to boil it tonight, and just go over.
However, his eyelids were like a pendant, his eyes closed slowly, and the sleepiness in his mind slowly hit.
