Volume 1 Wen Dao Qianqing Chapter 1 Qingchen
Bafeng Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. There is a purple bamboo forest on the east side of the town, called the Purple Forest. This bamboo forest has been around for some years, and it is said that at the beginning of the town's construction, this bamboo forest has existed, and now the bamboo is towering into the clouds, and at a glance, the clouds are steaming, and I don't know where it leads. The old people in the town often rest in the threshing floor, and the children also play here, and the tired children will spontaneously form a circle and tell stories to the old people.
"Children, do you know why we are called Bafeng Town here?" asked the old man, as kind as ever.
"I don't know. The children in a circle replied loudly in unison, so cute.
"Haha......" The old man seemed to be satisfied, and continued with a smile: "Once upon a time, there was an immortal who was seriously injured in a fight, and he came to the place where this Bafeng Town is located by chance, and found that the aura here is sufficient, which is suitable for cultivation and recuperation, so he stayed here. Later, after the injury was healed, he traveled around and found that there were eight dangerous peaks on this mountain, so he opened a sect on this mountain, and later built this town, and later people called it Bafeng Town. ”
"But, Grandpa Lei, why are the immortals hurt?" asked a child.
"Kid, immortals are also human, and of course they will be injured. The old man said with a smile.
"But grandpa, aren't immortals immortals? I saw an immortal flying in our town that day. Another child asked.
"Little one, but my mother said it was a kite. "Yes, my dad bought me a kite, and I rode on my dad's shoulder to watch him fly it." ”
The little one was robbed of white by several children, and his face flushed slightly, so he went to argue. For a while, the children chattered about their affairs, and forgot to ask the old man whether the immortals were immortals or humans. The old man looked at everything in front of him with a smile, and walked away quietly on crutches.
"Grandpa Lei, is it interesting that you trick the children into playing like this every day?" a young man came out of the wheat stack next to the threshing floor, followed the old man one after the other, and asked as he walked.
"How can I say I lied to them, it's a real thing. The old man's face was suddenly full of anger, and he no longer had the kindness and kindness he had just now. "Li Qingchen, you stinky boy, you are so angry with the old man, you actually said that I lied. The old man picked up the crutches and was about to hit Li Qingchen, Li Qingchen hurriedly went to hide, but the old man was faster, and with a "snap", the crutches still hit Li Qingchen's buttocks, and Li Qingchen grinned in pain.
"Grandpa Lei, I'm not talking nonsense, look at you, since I was a child, you said that there were immortals who built Bafeng Town here, it's been ten years, why haven't I seen an immortal, what do you say you're not cheating?" Li Qingchen retorted while rubbing his buttocks.
"You, stinky boy, you have a lot of ideas, it seems that I have to show you how good I am today. The old man said, lifted the crutch, Li Qingchen saw this, pulled his legs and was about to run. Lei Lao grabbed Li Qingchen: "What are you running, and I don't want to hit you, come, see what this is." Lei Lao took out a piece of yellow and crumpled paper from his arms, this kind of paper Li Qingchen recognized, every year and the festival, every household will paste this kind of talisman in the corner to ward off evil spirits.
"Grandpa Lei, isn't this a talisman for exorcism?" Li Qingchen wondered, what the hell is this old man selling, he has a big stack of such things.
"Yes and no, hehe, stinky boy, you see. I saw Lei Lao holding the talisman seal between his two fingers, and read it in his mouth for a while, the talisman's seal was golden, and the whole talisman's seal was no longer wrinkled, it became smooth as new, and the most amazing thing was that the talisman flew a few meters away on its own, and with a "break" in Grandpa Lei's mouth, it exploded, leaving only a few wisps of black smoke in the air.
"Thunder...... Grandpa Lei, what is this?" Li Qingchen suddenly stuttered when he saw this scene, he was used to seeing this kind of paper on weekdays, but he never thought that it would have such power.
"Haha, stinky boy, you see it, don't you dare to say that there are no immortals. Lei Lao suddenly became proud, and he really looked like an old naughty boy.
"Grandpa Lei, I believe it, you are an immortal! You teach me, I also want to learn this talisman to fly, so that I can be handsome on weekdays. Li Qingchen pulled the old man, swaying left and right, begging bitterly.
The old man glanced at Li Qingchen, ignored him, and walked forward on his own.
"Grandpa Lei, you just teach me in the face of my father, I promise not to teach others, I won't teach Chen Erwa. Li Qingchen said.
The old man still didn't pay attention to Li Qingchen.
"Grandpa Lei, if it wasn't for my father and mother who saved you, you don't know whether you are alive or dead now, so teach me for the sake of my father and mother saving you. Li Qingchen's eyes were full of cunning, he knew that this trick was absolutely useful, he wanted Old Man Lei's things since he was a child, and this killer move was simply invincible.
Sure enough, Lei Lao stopped.
"That's it, stinky boy, listen up, it's a mantra. The old man whispered again and asked, "Remember, the mantra is very important, and a wrong word will not work." ”
Li Qingchen nodded, indicating that he understood. He said: "Then Grandpa Lei, you are busy with you, I see that you can use immortal arts when you are old and strong, it should be no problem to go by yourself, I won't help you go back......" After speaking, Li Qingchen ran away.
"This stinky boy is the same as his father back then...... Ouch, the angry old man's heart hurts, I have to find some wine to drink to suppress this evil spirit. Lei Lao shook his head, looked at Li Qingchen, who had already run away, and said helplessly.
Li Qingchen got the formula, ran back home excitedly, and turned out a stack of talisman seals in the messy backyard warehouse at home. "I didn't expect my mother's usual talisman to be so fun, hehe, let me play enough. Li Qingchen smiled, as if he saw the scene of shaking Chen Erwa on the spot with a talisman performance.
"I have to go to Erwa and let him witness the moment when I became an immortal. Thinking so, Li Qingchen stuffed these talismans into his arms and ran out.
"Qingchen, why are you going? I've got my meal ready, it's time for lunch. A middle-aged woman saw Li Qingchen running out of the yard in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted.
"Mother, I'm going to find the second baby, and I won't come back to eat at noon. Li Qingchen replied without replying.
"This kid ...... It's really ......" The woman didn't know what she was thinking, so she didn't continue, and let Li Qingchen run out of the door.
Not long after Li Qingchen left, an old man appeared at Li Qingchen's house, it was Lei Lao who had just taught Li Qingchen the Fu Seal formula in the threshing floor.
"Brother Lei, why are you here, you haven't eaten yet, Qingchen just went out, and I'm worried that no one will accompany me to eat......" The middle-aged woman saw that it was Lei Lao, and greeted warmly.
"Haha, I'm uninvited, don't blame me. Lei Lao said with a smile.
"How could it be? Brother Lei is a relative to us. By the way, Brother Lei, you should have something to say here. The middle-aged woman put the meal on the table, and took out a jar of wine from under the bed: "Brother Lei, this is the wine I brewed, just when you came, taste how it tastes." ”
"Mo Ru, I just taught Qingchen the mantra of the Fu Seal. Lei Lao took the wine jar and put it on the table, sighed and said.
"Big brother, how can you ......" When Mo Rufu heard this, he was taken aback, his eyes widened, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, Lei Lao knew that he was wrong, lowered his head, rubbed his hand against the wine jar, and said nothing. But in the blink of an eye, Mo Ru burst into tears again. "Why is the eldest brother so reckless this time, have you forgotten how Qingchen and his father died? I have been hiding it for so many years, what is it for?!" After a pause, Mo Ru cried again: "In the past, I didn't say anything about you when you went to the threshing floor to tell stories, I just hope that Qingchen will grow up steadily, be sensible, and no longer touch the way of cultivation, but now it's good, he knows the Fu Seal formula, and he will definitely pester you to cultivate, he has known you since he was a child, you are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, as long as you mention the life-saving grace of my husband and wife, you will definitely agree." I guess this time is the same. ”
Lei Lao nodded with a little blush, and said in his heart: "Could it be that my current heart is really so unbearable, and I am being toyed with by a child." He glanced at Mo Ru and said, "Don't worry, he only knows mantras, and has no way to control spiritual power, Qingchen will never learn how to use talismans." ”
Mo Ru nodded, and didn't mention it again, only beckoning Lei Lao to eat. The two chatted for a while, and only then did they dilute the worry just now. After eating, Mo Ru cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lei Lao sat at the table and continued to drink.
"Mo Ru, your dyed flower brew is really getting better and better, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink other wine in my life. Lei Lao shouted to Mo Ru, who was washing dishes and chopsticks.
"Brother Lei, if you like it, I will give you a few more jars in the coming year, but there are fewer dyed flowers in this Bafeng Town, not as good as ......" Speaking of this, Mo Ru suddenly stopped his voice, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Big brother, has it been twenty years since that year?"
"What are you talking about, what twenty ......" Lei Lao pinched his fingers, and his face changed: "It's bad, Mo Ru, I'm ruining your business, this year is just twenty years." No, I have to go to Qingchen and tell him that the mantra is fake, I lied to him, and tell him not to believe that there are immortals. ”
"Big brother, Brother Lei, this is already the case, don't look for him rashly, so repeatedly, with his cleverness, he will definitely ask the truth. Since Qingchen doesn't know the method of controlling spirits, he must not take it seriously, and with his temperament, he will always find something more interesting to replace. The thing at the moment is that the twenty-year round of mountain opening is coming, how can Qingchen avoid being selected to cultivate?" Mo Ru frowned, a little worried.
"You can leave this to me, they will always sell me this little face, and this old face is finally a little useful, hahaha. Seeing that Mo Ru didn't blame him, Lei Lao was in a good mood and took a big sip of wine, as if he was about to face a trivial matter.
Mo Ru smiled lightly, this eldest brother is still as hearty and honest as when he was young, although the years are ruthless, it has only changed his appearance.
Lei Lao got up to say goodbye after drinking wine, Mo Ru was also ready to go back to the house to sleep for a while, Qingchen's clothes and half a sleeve were not ready, so he had to hurry up in the afternoon. The boy is growing so fast, more and more like his father when he was younger. Even this playful temperament seems to be in the bones. Thinking of this, Mo Ru laughed, grow up quickly, Qingchen, when you marry your daughter-in-law and give birth to a baby, your mother can rest assured.
Outside, the clouds were blue, as if it was going to rain. Mo Ru muttered, while worrying about whether Li Qingchen would be drenched in the rain when he came back.
At this time, Li Qingchen had already led his playmate Chen Erwa and several other peers to Zilin. Compared with the vividness when he came before, Li Qingchen's face turned red at this time, he sat on the ground, and there were a few broken talismans he threw at random, Li Qingchen knew that he was really in an embarrassing situation this time.
