Out of the Red Lady Bay, walk a distance is the Liantianjiang fork, to the north into the Liantianjiang River, to the south is the Holy Lake.

I think that at the beginning, the area from the Holy Lake to the Red Lady Bay was still peaceful, but there were large and small stone pillars protruding from the water surface, like mushrooms after a rain, and the big boat was difficult to cross, called Zhenlonglin.

Its scenery is peculiar, well-known in all directions, many scholars and scholars who come to admire it, spend a lot of money to hire boatmen, and enjoy this wonderful scenery of the stone forest.

It's just that after the Red Lady incident, Zhenlonglin was destroyed by lightning and thunder, the water was turbulent, and the stone pillar became a reef.

Over the years, the water has become more and more turbulent, and the human track is even more rare, as if it is a dangerous place.

It's just that at this time, there are many tourists in the Zhenlong Forest.

A flat boat shuttles through the river, dexterous as a swimming fish, and a young man in a green shirt on the boat stands with a flute.

The sound of the flute is long, like crying and complaining.

The river breeze blows the long hair of the clothes, and the wind is arbitrary.

"Jade Xiaozi, I didn't expect that after many years, you still have a stinky shelf!"

The raging river pounded on the few remaining stone pillars, and a bare-chested man sat on the top of one of them, drank the last sip of wine, threw an empty wine jug into the river, pointed at the people on the boat, and laughed.

The sound of the flute stopped, and the young man in the green shirt stood with his hands in his hands, and lightly spit out two words, "Vulgar!"

The man didn't care, looking in the other direction.

In the distance, there was a rickety old man carrying a big red lantern that had been extinguished, using the stone pillar as a step to wade through the water.

"I didn't expect the blind teacher to come, what a surprise. Yu Xiaozi said lightly.

Before the rickety old man could speak, a majestic figure suddenly fell from the sky and stepped on the top of a stone pillar.

The solid stone under his feet was overwhelmed and instantly turned into powder.

The man simply stood on top of the river and playfully said, "That's not all." ”

"A grandmaster who has passed his breath is also worth my wait. In the middle of the river, there was a woman who stepped on the water, strolling leisurely and sneering.

She held a guqin in her hand, the surface of the piano was smooth into the mirror, reflecting a little cinnabar on the woman's eyebrows.

"If you say that, you're not coming, Mrs. Leyin. The blind teacher said in a hoarse voice.

The woman smiled lazily, and even had a bit of amorousness, "Back then, he broke three of my strings, how could I not ask for it back?"

"Yes, I think you're only in the realm of a grandmaster. Yu Xiaozi glanced at Mrs. Leyin, and said in a tone without waves.

"If I don't untie the knot, how can I be willing to break through the situation like this. Mrs. Leyin smiled, and her voice became cold, "Aren't you the same?"

"I was just invited. "The jade flute is still calm.

"I said Xiao Chen, what about that person?" the blind master said in a calm tone, sitting on a stone pillar.

The man standing in the river said indifferently, "Your Excellency is already in Red Candle City." ”

The man sitting on the top of the stone pillar who was drinking frowned and took a sip of wine, "Since he decided to go out in person, what else do you need a few of us to do?"

Yu Xiaozi laughed, "Drunken maniac, what are you anxious about, he may just go to meet his friends, and it's still our business to do it." ”

"I hope so. The blind master shook the lantern in his hand, looking stunned.

......

There is a fairy temple at the east end of the city, which is specially set up for the old gods of Longhu Mountain, and it has always been full of incense.

Near the temple of the gods, there are more good men and women burning incense on the street, and there are many stalls selling special food and children's toys on both sides of the street.

Although Ning Junxi didn't know why Uncle Xiao Qi found a place to settle down and found the Immortal Temple, he was really greedy when he saw those things, so he sneaked aside and bought a string of rock sugar gourds for each person, smiled and ran back to ask for credit.

Qi Shi didn't feel naïve, so he took it casually, but just held it in his hand.

Qi Sixian hadn't eaten it, and thought it was good-looking, but he was reluctant to eat it.

So, Ning Jun was alone gnawing on a sugar gourd, like a stupid child.

In front of the Immortal Temple, Qi Shi bought a well-made boxwood incense tube from a stall on both sides of the road, which was filled with a tube of incense sticks, enough for everyone to enter the temple many times to burn incense, and beckoned the two to enter the Immortal Temple.

Ning Junxi and Qi Sixian were a little inexplicable.

After all, people in cultivation are themselves in order to break through the shackles of the mortal body, and finally advance to the realm of heaven and man, and ascend to the sky.

Although there are very few people who have ascended in the annals of history, this kneeling and kowtowing is not an admission that he is inferior to others, which is really a taboo for cultivators.

Fortunately, Qi Shi is just incense, and Ning Junxi and Qi Sixian draw scoops according to the gourd.

After each of them finished paying their incense, Ning Junxi noticed a couplet on the main hall.

Make a superior wish, get married, enjoy the blessings of the inferior, choose a high place to stand, find a peaceful place to live, and go to a wide place.

This couplet is hanging here, which is really out of place.

Ning Junxi blinked and asked quietly, "Uncle Qi, was this couplet also written by the villagers?"

"No, it was written by the old-timer, and most of the villagers here don't know what it means, so few people care. Qi Shi also replied quietly.

"Oh. Ning Junxi responded thoughtfully.

The three of them walked out of the Immortal Temple, and an old man in green shirts came up to them, and bowed his hands, "Three Taoist friends." ”

Qi Shi just asked lightly, "Where is the Water Moon Mansion?"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the old man in the green shirt glanced at Ning Junxi, stretched out his hand to lead the way, "Fellow Daoist, please." ”

Qi Shi nodded and followed with a blank face.

Qi Sixian understood what Qi Shi was doing here, but he noticed the glance of the old man in the green shirt, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Ning Junxi was thinking about things seriously, he didn't care for a while, he nodded subconsciously, and he followed when Qi Shi left.

After almost half the city, the old man in the green shirt stopped, turned his head and said, "It's here." ”

Qi Shi nodded again.

The old man left directly.

Qi Shi turned his head and saw that Ning Junxi was still thinking about things, and couldn't help but shout helplessly, "Young Master!"

Ning Junxi suddenly came back to his senses and looked around a little dazedly.

In front of him is an alley with an inconspicuous entrance, barely able to pass through two carriages, blue bricks and vermilion walls, but unfortunately it is a dead end.

He blinked, "What's wrong, Uncle Qi?"

Qi Shi smiled again, "There are some things, I still have time to think about them." ”

Ning Junxi nodded obediently, thought about it, and asked uncertainly, "This is Shuiyue Mansion?"

"Hmm. Qi Shi nodded and took the lead in entering.

Qi Sixian opened his mouth, wanting to tell the old man in green shirt just now, but he thought that the man was gone anyway, so he shut up again.

Walking inside, the dead end turned out to be just a blind way, and after walking through that blind way, a faint mist gradually emanated from the gaps in the blue brick road under the feet, which was scattered leisurely, which was very wonderful.

Qi Shi saw that Ning Jun was curious, and explained, "Shuiyue Mansion is an inn for cultivators, and this alley is one of its signboards, called Mirror Flower Lane, which can reflect everything that happens here during the day at night, and it is very interesting to see flowers in the mirror." Next, when you enter the gate of the mansion, you should immediately see a bright moon shadow wall, and the spirit inhabited in the shadow wall is the gatekeeper of the Water Moon Mansion, who specializes in identifying whether it is a monk or not. ”

Ning Junxi was a little curious, "Wouldn't someone who came that night be scared to death?"

"The power of the Water Moon Mansion is very large, and most monks will know about it, and fighting is forbidden in it, so there are many people who hide from the enemy, but it costs a little too much. Qi Shi patiently explained.

"How many spirit stones?" Ning Junxi was very concerned about this.

"The general price is ten six-grade spirit stones a day. Qi Shi thought for a moment and said.

Ning Junxi gasped, "It's so expensive, then don't waste it." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to go back.
