Money Mountain, 12 "Road Day Prosperity" The archway, still echoing in Xiao Ru's mind, now he still clearly remembers that the memorial arch engraved on the Xuanwu water map and some incomprehensible esoteric ancient texts, once standing on the top of the money mountain view of money, can be said to be the first school of Taoism today, unfortunately, because an elder in the sect is not doing his job, wrote a few banned books and hyped up, the court on a holy decree to dissolve the concept of money, the so-called tree fell and scattered, after the dissolution of the concept of money, everyone went their own way, where will care about the friendship.

Xiao Ruyi, who has been an orphan since he was a child and has no support, can only choose to wander around after the dissolution of the money concept in the imperial court, but the master of the money view, that is, his master Mo Liufeng, takes care of him very much, among all the disciples, only Xiao Ru is alone, and when he left, he got the love of the master, gave him a spirit talisman and a bag, and told Xiao Ruis to go all the way to the east, go to Qinghe Town, find a person named Li Bailu, and you can have a full meal.

To tell the truth, Xiao Ru has nothing else to ask for, so he hopes to have a full meal, starting from the money mountain, the long road, he has not even eaten a hot meal, almost always begging for a bowl of tea to drink, the best time, a septuagenarian saw that he was pitiful, and gave him half a steamed bun.

"Alas"

Xiao Ru was wearing a shabby Taoist robe full of patches, and a peachwood sword with many holes that had been eaten by insects on his back, and he looked like a typical Taoist priest, but he was indeed a little downtrodden.

"Alas, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts, I hope the ancients will not be deceived, come on"

After sighing, Xiao Ru shook his clothes and continued to hurry.

Moyo is in the evening, he arrived at the master said Qinghe Town, Qinghe Town as its name suggests, in the center of the town, a clear jade belt of Qinghe slowly flowing, the town is divided on the left and right, because Xiao Ru is from the east, so at this moment is located on the left side of the Qinghe River, although they are all Qinghe Town area, but the left and right banks of the Qinghe River, the scenery is very different, take Xiao Ru is located on the left bank, at a glance, Qianmo traffic, the houses are like this, very out-of-this-world feeling. Taking a deep breath and feeling the tranquility of the countryside outside the world, Xiao Ru went to the town, the whole street, large and small shops, are very prosperous and diverse, all flawless, the only thing that makes the little Taoist Xiao Ru feel strange is that the whole street is full of women, no men.

Originally, he thought it was just a coincidence, but when he sat in the tea shed and wanted to drink tea, he found that it was not an accident, even the owner of the tea shed and his buddies were women, and he suddenly realized that all the women were looking at him with a strange gaze.

Xiao Ru saw it without realizing it, looked calm, and began to taste the green tea fried by the female boss of Qinghe Town.

The brown color is very light, but the flavor is strong.

"This sister boss, why are there only women and no men in Qinghe Town" Xiao Ru put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked, the remaining tea, he planned to wait for the temperature to cool down, and swallowed it in one go.

The lady of the tea shed ignored him and listened to his questions without answering, but the lady of the tea shed was a warm-hearted person, her little head swayed when she spoke, and her two slender braids swayed like wicker, and said, "You are from out of town, right?"

"Yes, it's from out of town, what's the matter" Xiao Ru took a sip of tea, quenched the pent-up thirst for many days, and answered the question of the lady in the tea shed.

"Then you don't know, our Qinghe Town is divided into east and west towns with the Qinghe River as the boundary, all the women in the town live on the left bank of the Qinghe, that is, the East Town, and all the men live on the right bank, that is, the west town of the Qinghe."

"Ah" Xiao Ru was dumbfounded when he heard it, and some were speechless, walking all the way from Qian Mountain to here, passing through a lot of villages, and seeing many strange customs, but such strange customs like Qinghe Town are really incomprehensible.

Looking at Xiao Ru is eyebrows frowning, the tea shed girl said, "Do you think it's strange, in fact, as a person from this town, I think it's strange, but it's a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is no way" The woman picked up the teapot, filled Xiao Ruyi's tea bowl, picked up a handkerchief and wiped ten slender and beautiful jade fingers, and then said, "Listen to my grandfather, it seems to be a Tang Dynasty called... Yuan... Yes, Yuan Tiangang's people, this custom that has been established"

"Yuan Tiangang"

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's three words, Xiao Ru felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, he didn't expect that such a seemingly ordinary town would be related to Yuan Tiangang's mythical existence, Yuan Tiangang, as a generation of celebrities, naturally would not pay attention to an inconspicuous town, it is not Qinghe Town, there is no cave.

He is a person whose curiosity is so heavy that he can overwhelm a mountain, not to mention mentioning Yuan Tiangang, so he naturally couldn't help but ask carefully, but just as he was about to continue to ask, the female boss of the tea shed suddenly rushed out with a slap and smashed his tea bowl to the ground, he raised his eyes, and the female boss had an impatient expression on her face.

"The boss... I"

"Give me leave, don't drink the old lady's tea, the old lady is here to drink tea, not to listen to books, to listen to the book theater"

Xiao Ru, who was dressed in a shabby robe, was directly blasted out of the tea shed by the female boss, he was disgraced and embarrassed, and he didn't know that he thought he was bombed because he had no money, and staggered out of the tea shed, he took out a copper coin from a patch sewn in the Taoist robe and threw it into the tea shed, "I'm sorry, the tea money is for you, I'll go first"

Xiao Ru didn't know what violated the bottom line of the female boss of the tea shed, she was bombed so badly, Xiao Ru who lost the last copper coin, can really only drink the northwest wind in the future, and now I just hope to find Li Bailu that the master said "I have no other intentions, just eat enough"

Now he still carries a pouch and a spirit rune in his arms, and the master said that the spirit rune should be handed over to Li Bailu, and the pouch can only be opened when he sees Li Bailu.

"Alas" at a glance, the whole street is full of women, even a fortune teller who sets up a stall.

Although the fortune teller who sat in the five-foot corner of the street was a daughter, but after putting on the robe, he was more serious than Xiao Ru is master, and I remember that when I was looking at money, Xiao Ru also followed the master for a few days to learn the technique of touching the bones and looking at the face, pushing the fortune and measuring the words, and the learning can not be described as proficient, and it can barely be regarded as a beginner.

Xiao Ru approached the female Taoist who told the fortune, his eyes stared straight over, he found that the female Taoist was a little different from himself after putting on the Taoist robe, and there were some inexplicable curves in her breasts, out of curiosity, he stared.

Alas, the first time he went down the mountain, how did the little Taoist priest who had never seen the world know so much, staring at the female Taoist's chest, it was destined to have no good end.

"Hehe, I'm also a Taoist priest, you see" The more he looked at it, the more energetic he became, he even put it on, pointing to the peachwood sword he was wearing on his back and said.

"Hmph, lewd Dao" The female Taoist who lives by fortune-telling slapped Xiao Ruis cheek as fast as lightning, his face immediately became red and swollen, showing five crimson blood marks, this is not over, the female Taoist then kicked again, kicked on Xiao Ru is abdomen, and shouted in pain with both hands, of course, the whole street, no one will sympathize with him, they all think he is hateful.

Xiao Ruyi, who had been in pain for a long time, finally realized that he couldn't get along in the east of the river, he planned to cross the river by boat and go to the west of the Qinghe River to see, there were all men, it should be better to mix, but before leaving, he still had to do one thing, he wanted to figure out what the mystery of this town was, so before leaving, he had the courage to return to the tea shed just now, and the "dead skin and lazy face" asked for an empty bowl from the female owner of the tea shed, in order to uphold the principle of fair trade, he used his peach wood sword in exchange.

Xiao Ru, who got the empty bowl, was extremely happy, just like a child getting his beloved sweet candy.

He ran to the river, scooped out a bowl of white water from the clear river, and placed it on the bank.

The bowl is very small, much smaller than an ordinary porcelain bowl, but the picture reflected by a little pure water in the bowl is like another world.

After placing the clear water, Xiao Ru picked two emerald willow leaves from the weeping willow branches on the shore.

"A bowl of square inches, two leaves and willows, now"

Two willow leaves are verdant, Xiao Ru is left and right hands hold one together, chanting a special spell, with the corresponding movements, it can be clearly seen that the water in the bowl has undergone subtle changes, and a small whirlpool the size of a pigeon's egg slowly appears in the center of the bowl of water, constantly rotating.

What he is using now is actually the investigation technique commonly used by Taoists, this kind of spell can find some answers he wants to know under the premise that the time and place are favorable.

He now has two questions, first, the connection between Qinghe Town and Yuan Tiangang and the mystery of the town, thinking about this problem in his heart, Xiao Ru put a green leaf in his right hand into the bowl of water, the green leaf into the water, naturally dissipated, and then presented a poem in the water "Looking at the sky, clouds, sea, sunken platform" Xiao Ru remembered this poem, began to think about the second question, and threw the green willow leaf in the other hand into the bowl of water, the same scene, the green willow leaf dissipated, presenting a poem "Money settles down and gives birth to plum blossoms"

His second question was that the master told him where Li Bailu, who he was looking for, was in Qinghe Town.

After asking two questions and memorizing two lines of poetry, Xiao Ru threw the clear water into the river along with the porcelain bowl.

After all, the Tao is just a divination, so there will be no specific results, and the answer to the question still needs to be experienced from the two poems.

"Alas, let's continue to meditate"

Xiao Ru sighed and walked to the ferry, named Qinghe, but the river is very wide, the flow speed is very fast, so it is necessary to set up a ferry, Xiao Ru is standing at the ferry, looking at the river, seeing a flat boat on the river surface, swaying with the wind, there is no ferry boat at the crossing, only a stone tablet, Xiao Ru bowed his head, to see the content of the text engraved on the stone tablet, it was written "The sparkling wave boat is free, and there is no need to cross the river with a ferryman"

"If there is no ferryman, what can I do if there is a boat, is this boat really as the text on the stele says, it can do it on its own"

Xiao Ru tentatively stretched out his right foot, lightly stepped on the boat, and after making sure that there was no problem, he put his feet together and stood in the middle of the boat, which was also interesting, the boat was really as the stele said, no need for people to control, and slid by himself.

At dusk, the sunset sinks, and the golden afterglow is reflected on the sparkling waves, and the golden light on the waves is rippling, like a dream.

On the wide river, Xiao Ru traveled to the west bank with one person and one boat.
