The scorching sun of the hour is just like the lantern at the beginning. The light is soft and beautiful, and you can't help but feel a little warm when you are in it. However, just after a short hour, the morning light has taken on a slightly dazzling meaning, and people no longer dare to look at it.

Yuan He, who got up early in the morning, had breakfast and was busy with trivial affairs in the hospital. Sitting on the chair in the courtyard, he didn't come to the left and didn't wait for Chen Yijian's figure to come to the right, so he looked a little anxious.

The body that sits can no longer sit still. From time to time, I walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked into the distance along the path. From time to time, he walked home and looked at his wife and children.

is already the same as Yuan He, an anxious wife. When he saw Yuan He going back and forth, dangling endlessly in front of him, he became more and more impatient. Frowning slightly, he said with dissatisfaction: "What did you say to Chen Gongzi yesterday, why haven't you come yet?"

Yuan He, who was walking back and forth in the room, stopped to look at his wife. He said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Didn't I tell you all about my return yesterday! How else can I say it, didn't I just tell Chen Gongzi everything!"

The wife asked, "Then what did Chen Gongzi say?"

Yuan He simply stopped, sat on the edge of the bed and replied, "After Chen Gongzi put forward a condition, he agreed." ”

The wife asked again, "Did Chen Gongzi say when he would come?"

Yuan He thought for a while: "That doesn't seem to be true, he only said that he would help." ”

His wife's face suddenly became a little angry, and she said angrily: "I said Lao Yuan, are you missing a root in your brain." For such an important matter, you don't even ask clearly, do you have a shirt in your heart? ”

Yuan He, who knew that he was at a loss, was a little unhappy on his face. But he didn't dare to say anything, he turned his head and muttered to himself.

Just as this was, someone outside the door shouted: "Old Yuan, Lord Huang asked you to take your daughter to the county office." ”

Yuan He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at his wife on the side. With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "What's going on?"

The wife shook her head: "How do I know what's going on, you go out and ask." ”

Yuan He sighed, and then got up and walked towards the door. After seeing that it was his old acquaintance, Hu Bin, who was on an errand in the county government. Yuan He opened his mouth and asked, "Hu Hansan, what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man who was already sitting casually on a chair in the courtyard without waiting for a greeting looked like a lazy feeling. At this time, he was crossing Erlang's legs without a proper line, reaching out and grabbing a handful of melon seeds from the table, as if he was in his own home. While throwing the melon seeds into his mouth, he said lazily: "I don't know, but it seems that the two immortals want to see you." ”

"Immortal Venerable?" the doubt on Yuan He's face couldn't help but become even stronger.

Then he came back to his senses, and after saying to Hu Bin, you will wait. He hurriedly ran back into the house, and after a while. took his wife and his eldest daughter Yuan Xiaoshan and walked out.

Seeing this scene, Hu Bin, the official couldn't help but let out a 'yo ho' in his mouth. Smile got up from her chair and walked out first. and turned his head to look at Yuan Xiaoshan and her mother, but said to Yuan He: "Old Yuan, are you a drag on your family?!"

Yuan He, who was walking behind, didn't pay attention to him, because he knew in his heart what kind of virtue this person was. Instead, the woman who followed behind said to Hu Bin: "Master Hu, is it Chen Gongzi who wants to see us?"

Hu Bin's eyes looked at the woman, intentionally or unintentionally, swept past her chest. A trace of imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes, and he said with a bright smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't know much about this. However, listening to Lord Huang's title, that Immortal Venerable seems to be indeed surnamed Chen. ”

The woman deliberately ignored the gaze he swept across her breast. After listening to what he said, my heart finally relaxed a little. The anxious look on his face faded a little, and the quiet smile of the past resurfaced. The raised hand gently stroked through the hair of his daughter, who was walking side by side with him.

This made Hu Bin, who had been looking at her, tremble in his heart. Especially when that smile appears on the woman's face, it is simply a charming white life, and there are countless charms.

Throwing all the melon seeds in his hand into his mouth, Hu Bin turned his head and yelled in his heart: "It's really fucking delicious." ”

I don't know if he's talking about the melon seeds in his hand, or something else.

As for Yuan Xiaoshan, who was unknown from beginning to end, he just followed behind his father with a smile on his face. Yuan He didn't say anything to her, so she didn't ask anything. Growing up, no matter what happened, she has always been like this.

Although she was keenly aware of the greedy look in Hu Bin's eyes when he looked at his mother just now. But seeing that her father who was walking in front didn't say anything, she didn't speak. It's just that deep down, the disgust for this person has become stronger.

In her memory, this man called Hu Bin. According to her seniority, she should have called her uncle respectfully. But once when he came to the house as a guest, Yuan Xiaoshan, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Because of the large population in the family, he could not sit down at the dinner table, so he sat on a bench with him. At that time, there were no small round stools in the house.

Next to a square table, on each side is a large bench equal to the width of the table. As a result, halfway through the meal, Yuan Xiaoshan suddenly found that under the table, a sneaky big hand fell on his lap. I almost didn't scare her to cry at the time, but fortunately, she was quite witty. Immediately put down the empty bowl in his hand, said to his parents that he was full, and hurriedly fled from the table.

Since that beating, she has never dared to look at Hu Bin again. Even if they met outside by chance, Yuan Xiaoshan lowered his head and quickened his pace to pass past him. As for the uncle who was known as the generation, she never shouted to Hu Bin again.

The town in the early morning is no better than the town, and it is full of people coming and going.

Walking on the quiet dirt road near the river, the sound of gurgling water and the crisp sound of birdsong came to their ears. Looking into the distance, the green peaks in the depths of the clouds are undulating. The top of the mountain is hidden in it, so that people do not see the real face. Nearby, the houses are built next to each other. The smoke rises and goes straight into the sky. It gives people a kind of white clouds, which are actually formed by the convergence of wisps of cooking smoke.

The road from Yuan's house to the county government is not very far, and it is only about half a pillar of incense.

When Yuan He took his wife and daughter and followed Hu Bin to the back hall of the county government. Huang Ye, who is the magistrate of this town, has already stood at the door to greet him. This made Yuan He, who was a flat-headed ordinary person, a little flattered, and couldn't help but be a little more restrained in his behavior. Fortunately, although Huang Ye is an official of his parents, he does not have a trace of official arrogance at this time. Talking to him is also amiable, no different from the neighbors in the street. This made the restrained Yuan He obviously relaxed.

Looking at Yuan He's family of three, Huang Ye, who was smiling, said: "You are Yuan He, I often hear people say that the woodworking tools you make are very good, and you can help me make one if you have the chance." Of course, you can pay as much as you want. I won't rely on being the magistrate of the county to withhold the fruits of your labor without authorization. ”

Yuan He hurriedly said: "Lord Huang is polite, when do you want you and me to know." ”

Huang Ye nodded with a smile, and then said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's come in quickly." The two Immortal Venerables are still waiting inside. ”

Yuan He's face was stunned, how could he still become two immortal venerables?

But he didn't want to ask much about it. After saying yes, he took a step forward and walked into the back hall with his wife and daughter behind him.

In the hall, Chen Yijian, who was sitting on a chair chatting with the young Taoist priest. After seeing Yuan and his family come in, he hurriedly got up and came to him. With a bright smile, he said, "Uncle Yuan is good, Auntie is good!"

Originally, when he learned that Chen Yijian was an immortal, Yuan He was still thinking about it in his heart along the way. When I went to the county office for a while, how should I talk respectfully to people when I met him. After all, the teenager at this time is no longer the young man who talked and laughed with himself at home yesterday. It's the high-minded and mysterious Immortal Venerable. is the magistrate of the county, and he is also a big man who respects him. If you offend him by not talking about the conversation this time, it will not make him disgusted.

If he was taking the opportunity to say something, he wouldn't care about it. Then find someone to cry to!

However, when the boy came up to him, still smiling as he had been yesterday, he was the first to greet him. Yuan He didn't know what was going on in his heart, and the trace of apprehension that should have existed disappeared inexplicably. It's like the snow in early spring, which melts in an instant under the warm sun.

On the restrained face, a simple smile couldn't help but appear. Looking at the young man in white clothes and handsome face. said: "Hello Chen Gongzi, why didn't you go to the house for breakfast?"

Chen Yijian replied with a smile: "I wanted to come to see a friend, so I didn't go to Uncle Yuan's house to bother." ”

As he spoke, Chen Yijian stretched out his hand and pointed to the young Taoist priest who had already walked to his side. introduced to Yuan He: "Uncle Yuan, he is my good friend. I'm from the same place, so you can just call him Zhang Longhu. ”

Yuan He nodded hurriedly and looked at the young Taoist priest with a bright smile. However, he didn't really call the young man by his name, but shouted to him respectfully: "Zhang Xianzun!"

The young man Zhang Longhu smiled and didn't say much. After Chen Yijian finished introducing both sides, he said to Chen Yijian: "Brother Chen, I have already told you about the specific plan just now. Now people have seen it, but there is one more thing that is more troublesome. ”

Chen Yijian seemed to know what Zhang Longhu was going to say, and after pondering for a while, he said directly: "I have a way, but you have to promise me one condition first." ”

Zhang Longhu was stunned: "What?"

Chen Yijian said with a smile: "No matter what you see for a while, you must stay honest with me, and you must not make a move." ”

Now that the words have been said and said, Zhang Longhu can't guess Chen Yijian's thoughts. For him, the things that can make him can't help but shoot are nothing more than those mountain spirits.

In fact, Zhang Longhu sometimes wonders why he always can't help but want to kill them when he sees the spirits of the mountains. He once asked his master why he had such thoughts. At that time, he was already the master of Longhu Mountain, but he did not answer his question. He just looked at him with a smile and pointed to his heart.

At that time, Zhang Longhu was still young, and he had never traveled down the mountain to such a distant place. At most, in the vicinity of Longhu Mountain, one person and one sword are wandering around. There will understand what the master means, just if he was born with the mountain spirits.

And now, he has walked through the vast Dongsheng Divine Continent, and crossed the boundless sea separated by two continents. Even the Middle Earth Divine Continent, which is only one-third of Dongsheng Divine Continent, is almost about to go all over. During the period, the mountain spirits and ghosts encountered were countless. After swinging his sword mercilessly again and again, he seemed to finally understand what his master meant to him at that time. It's just that this idea is not very thorough, and it is always like being covered by a thin veil, so that he can't see the truth.

Until recently, in the middle of a rainy night. He was in a wilderness, and when he met a pair of fox demons, he completely lifted the veil. Finally, at that moment, I understood the true meaning of what the master wanted to express.

At that time, the pair of fox demons were all monsters that could already be transformed into humans. When Zhang Longhu met them, the fox demon, who had transformed into two beautiful women, was carefully holding an umbrella. One of them also carried a young scholar on his back, looking at it. It should be that the mountain road is slippery on a rainy day, and I accidentally fell and injured my leg. They happened to be bumped into by the two fox demons, and then the two stepped forward and lifted the reader out of the mud. One carries it on its back, and the other holds an umbrella for it.

Along the way, the three of them talked and laughed. When rubbing shoulders with Zhang Longhu, he didn't forget to smile kindly at him. The woman who was holding an umbrella and still had an extra umbrella in her hand smiled at him and asked, "Childe, do you need an umbrella?"

At that moment, Zhang Longhu's whole person seemed to be struck by thunder. The greatsword that I already had in my hand was so stiff. looked at the three people who left their umbrellas and slowly left by their side. Zhang Longhu smiled, laughing very quickly.

"It turned out that the master pointed to his heart and wanted to tell me. Even if it is a demon, there will be good kinds. Born as a human being, there is also malignancy. Good and evil, it is the heart that distinguishes between it!"

Since that day, Zhang Longhu has no longer been killed when he encounters demons.

So after understanding Chen Yijian's thoughts at this time, Zhang Longhu just chuckled and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't hurt the heavens and reason!"

Hearing such words, Chen Yijian was stunned.

A puzzled expression appeared on his handsome cheeks. Looking at this person who has known him for a long time and has become a friend of the Zhang family Heavenly Master very early. Chen Yijian lost his mind for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face again. Reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, he said, "Congratulations!"

Zhang Longhu smiled: "What's there to congratulate, it's still early to break the mirror." ”

Chen Yijian still maintained his attitude and said: "The state of mind is broken, and it is not a matter of time before you cultivate?!"

Zhang Longhu laughed out loud and said, "Then thank you first!"

The conversation between the two made the other four people present a little confused.

looked at two young teenagers, but with a lot of ability. Huang Ye didn't know why, but there was a trace of jealousy in his heart. This made him startled, and he hurriedly suppressed this thought. Walking up to the two of them, he said to the two with a smile on his face: "Two Immortal Venerables, don't you know if there is anything else I need to prepare?"

Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu, who came back to their senses, had some embarrassed expressions on their faces. obviously said that he was here to help others, but the two of them chatted here first, leaving everything aside. Even Chen Yijian, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall, couldn't hide it when he turned his head and saw Yuan Xiaoyi throwing curious eyes at him.

Hurriedly pretended to clear his throat and said, "Please send someone to separate the scene from an open space, and it is best not to let the people get close to the river and the temple." ”

As if answering the arrangement of his superiors, Huang Ye hurriedly turned around and ran outside the house to order.

Then, Chen Yijian said to the weasel and the crested starling in his heart: "Which of you two is coming to the county government now?"

The weasel asked, "Big brother, do you have anything to eat?"

Chen Yijian said angrily: "No!"

The weasel was a little unhappy and muttered, "Then I won't go, you call the crested starling." ”

Chen Yijian had no choice but to say to the crested starling again: "Then you come over now." ”

The crested starling didn't have the eyes of a weasel, and said yes. It didn't take long for the figure to fall into the back hall.

Looking at the myna bird that suddenly appeared, Yuan Xiaoshan, including her father and mother, couldn't help but become more and more curious in her heart.

Chen Yijian's conversation just now, they heard it clearly. Although Chen Yijian was contacting the weasel duo with his heart at the time, he didn't know for what reason. When he was talking to the two, he was not communicating with them in his heart, but directly from his mouth. So much so that everyone present was able to hear the conversation between them.

However, Chen Yijian didn't explain much to them, and turned his head to look at Zhang Longhu beside him. He smiled and said, "It's up to you." ”

Zhang Longhu nodded and walked straight to the crested starling. He took out a piece of yellow rune paper from his bosom and pinched it with his thumb and middle finger in a strange gesture. Then he pointed to the crested starling, and quickly silently recited a difficult incantation. As this spell sounded, everyone soon saw a cyan flame suddenly appear on the rune paper. A speed visible to the naked eye quickly burned the rune paper to the ground.

Zhang Longhu waited until the entire rune paper was burned and the ashes fell from the sky, and then he suddenly stopped chanting the incantation. The right hand of the pinching talisman pinched out five different magic seals in front of him in a row, and finally stopped at the sword seal. And those ashes that were supposed to fall were strangely hovering in mid-air at this time. With a sound of an edict from his mouth, he pointed the sword seal at the crested starling. The ashes continued to move and pounced head-on towards the crested starling.

The three members of the Yuan family on the side were stunned.

What's even more amazing is that these ashes are wrapped in the crested starling. After a while, it was obviously a bird, but it turned into a big living person so weirdly. And this person's appearance is exactly the same as Yuan Xiaoshan.

Yuan He and his wife were already speechless because of this picture.

Even Yuan Xiaoshan, who was a person at that time, could only stand stupidly in place. Looking at the suddenly extra 'self', his face was full of incredulity.

Chen Yijian first looked around the 'Yuan Xiaoshan' that appeared, and then nodded with satisfaction. Wake up the three people in shock and explain to them, "Because we want to eradicate the river god once and for all, we need to seduce him out first. Xiaoyi is an ordinary person, and I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be a change, so I can only change the way. At that time, your shirt will stay in the county office, and Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan will take this shirt to the river. ”

Although they had heard the explanation, the three of them still had surprised expressions on their faces. Especially Mother Yuan, she walked directly in front of the crested starling. Courageously plucked up, reached out and touched her. After discovering that not only do people look exactly the same, but the feel of the touch is completely indistinguishable from normal people. There was an expression of surprise on his face.

said: "This is simply a person!"

Seeing this, Yuan He also stepped forward. Stretched out his hand and stroked the cockling's body, and said with sincere admiration to Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu: "It is worthy of being an immortal, this kind of means is really an immortal." ”

Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu both smiled and didn't say much.

If this kind of trick can also be called an immortal method, then the means that the two of them show for a while, wouldn't it be the immortal method of the immortals!

The people, after all, are still the people!

Originally, Yuan's mother planned to let Yuan Xiaoshan come over and touch 'herself', but she didn't know why. Looking at that 'self', Yuan Xiaoshan just shook his head.

Huang Ye, who went out to arrange, quickly returned to the back hall. When he saw the two Yuan Xiaoxians standing in front of him, the whole person was shocked. A wide open mouth, without exaggeration, can stuff two eggs at the same time.

However, after all, Huang Ye is also a well-informed person. I quickly figured out that this must have been the handiwork of the two Immortal Venerables.

The respect for the two of them in my heart has also deepened.

Putting away the shock in his eyes, Huang Ye said to Chen and Zhang: "Two Immortal Venerables, the disciple has already explained. Next we are ......"

Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu glanced at each other, and they both saw the decision in each other's eyes. Zhang Longhu opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's almost noon, let's rush to the river." ”

Huang Ye agreed with some excitement and took the lead in running outside the house. At this time, where does he still look like an official. Not to mention, the calmness that a reader should have.

——

Before noon, the people had already gathered by the river.

Every household, young and old. At this time, all of them were gathered in front of the Qishui Temple, some people were holding pigs' heads in their hands, and some people were holding slaughtered chickens and ducks in their hands. It's those small-town children, each with all kinds of tributes in their hands. If it weren't for the strict instructions of the elders in the family in advance, it is estimated that they would not be able to bear it, and secretly picked up one or two things from it and put it in their mouths to eat.

Curling cigarettes, all the way from the side of the Yishui River, inserted to both sides of the entrance of the Qishui Temple. Then he respectfully took the three incense sticks that he had left in his hand, walked into the temple, and inserted them into the huge incense burner on the offering table.

Since the area of the temple is not very large, it cannot be entered by everyone at once. Therefore, everyone could only line up at the door in an orderly manner and enter in turn. Only three people walked in at a time, and waited until they finished worshipping the incense and came out with the statue. Then three more people went in, in an orderly manner.

More than 20 officials rushed from the county government to wait until everyone had entered the temple to worship the incense. Only then did he slowly step forward, and after explaining his intentions to them in a general manner, he stopped everyone at a distance of 100 steps from the small temple and the Qishui River.

Seeing this scene, standing in the crowd, Sun Ren, who was the mayor of the town, couldn't help frowning slightly.

But he didn't say much, as if he was thinking of something. The thick eyebrows quickly stretched out, and the fat face couldn't help but show a bright smile. Degree of literature
