The light gently came through the leaky cracks in the corners of the house.

The young man may have been tired yesterday, and the two pairs of feet were very sleepless outside the quilt and rubbed each other.

"Nian'an, there's your letter here!" The door of the small courtyard in Beicheng was knocked on by different lengths, and the hyacinths in the courtyard that were hung by the girl last night swayed back and forth.

"Come on...... ....... Nian An struggled to stiffen up, casually put on a shirt and walked out, only to find that something had fallen when he reached the threshold, and quickly stepped back and stepped on his cloth shoes.

......

The door of the small courtyard on the other side was also gently pushed open, and Qiuqiu poked out half of his head from behind the door and looked at the man in his early twenties who was standing at the door of Nian'an's house. She knew this person, a friend in the little second brother's dart game, surnamed Zheng. Looking at this man's dusty appearance, he should have come with a letter from the little second brother from Taiyuan.

"Mr. Zheng, is it Nian An's letter?"

The young man turned his head and looked at Qiuqiu in surprise, the girl who had only been on his waist a few years ago was now standing pretty.

"Xiao Er asked me to bring it to you from Taiyuan, and I told you to go to Taiyuan City to have a look when you have time. ”

Qiuqiu smiled and nodded, and put his right hand into his pocket and lined up a few copper coins for the young man surnamed Zheng.

"You're welcome. The man smiled and put the copper plate back, and caught a glimpse of the wood door in her yard through the crack in Qiuqiu's door.

"Tut-tut......"

The young man pulled his gaze to the courtyard of Nian'an's house, and playfully teased the girl: "Waiting for your wedding feast." ”

......

......

"Copper coins to pay me back ......"

The man held his mouth and slipped away as if he were touching the smoke under his feet.

......

It's a pity that Nian'an has just walked to the ancient well in his yard at this time.

The boy pushed open the door of his house head-on, and the stirring bits of dust made a diagonal line in the sunlight and slowly descended.

"Nian'an, the letter of the second brother!" Qiuqiu's tone was a little fierce.

The young man was puzzled, half of the smile that came out of his mouth was swallowed back raw, and he took the letter with a round breath.

"My brother Taiqi, Wang Xiaoer. The words on the envelope looked untidy, and the words had been smeared several times.

......

......

The boy took the letter, and the girl rubbed her head, and read it in its entirety at the gate of the courtyard.

Nian An bit his mouth: "The little second brother actually took over another dart business so quickly." ”

The girl lowered her head, put her two index fingers together, and stirred it: "It's okay, didn't he talk about buying a house and his daughter-in-law last time? ”

"Hey...... It's just that I heard that the wilderness is dangerous, I just hope he can be safe, money, save it, there will always be it. The young man's tone was normal at first, but when he talked about saving words, his heart suddenly became sour.

"The little second brother has been to a place no matter how far away he is, and he has turned evil into good fortune. ”

"That's for the best. ”

The two nodded together.

......

"Nian'an, do you smell any strange smell on the street today?"

"It's some, it smells like something is burned. It's a dry summer day, so it's better to check the fire before going to bed. As he spoke, the boy gathered away his letter and prepared to retreat into the house.

Qiuqiu looked at the young man's anxious eyebrows, pursed his lips, and had something to say in his throat, but in the end he swallowed it, and the girl straightened the bangs on her forehead and walked back to the courtyard.

Nian An was in a hurry to go to Qingyang Mountain early this morning, so he specially found a stack of pure black thick cloth at home and wrapped it in the extraordinary green stone he found yesterday.

The young man also thought about secretly keeping it and taking an ordinary piece to give the Taoist chief an errand, but in the end, he thought carefully that it was his own life that the Taoist chief wanted to help change, and it was counterproductive to cover it up.

Nian An firmly said that the Taoist chief has great magical powers.

Such a character can't afford to frolic for himself and waste a good time.

......

......

The sky on Qingyang Mountain is slightly darkened today, and when the young man arrives, the Taoist man has changed his unpredictable appearance in the past for the rest of his life, and is holding the blackened pu mat and slapping around in front of the Taoist temple, scolding and scolding.

"Which person who lacks virtue burns the fire candles indiscriminately, smokes black smoke and flies wildly, and the south wind of heaven kills actually blows all to my Qingyang Mountain!"

The tone of his voice is obviously not like talking to himself.

"Dao Chief...... Talking to me?"

"Not with you, with whom? Is there a third person on this barren slope?"

The Taoist approached, and he really looked very embarrassed today, the Dao hat on his head was half crooked, and his handsome face was so black that there were a few finger prints on it.

"Flowers on my face?"

Nian An nodded apologetically, and signaled that there was actually some black soil stuck to the roots of Dao Chang's ears.

"Still not changing your life?"

The Taoist chief bared his teeth and spoke fiercely.

The boy's eyes widened and he nodded vigorously.

"What is this?" Yu Daoren said as he snatched the black cloth package in Nian An's hand and opened it in three or two, revealing the round transparent green pebbles inside.

"You kid got it yesterday?"

"I found it in a small pool by the Wei River yesterday afternoon. The young man paused, motioned for the chief to put the stone in his hand, and then took it.

"This stone is strange, as soon as I pinch it in my hand and dive into the water, it will shine green on its own. ”

Yu Dao's long mouth twisted together and tilted to the right, obviously not believing.

"Let's go and try again. ”

"If I hit this stone and hold it in my hand, it will emit a strange smell. ”

"Let Ben Dao see. Yu Daoren said and subconsciously helped the Dao hat, but he didn't know that he had left a blackened handprint on it.

The young man picked up the stone, crouched down, found a piece of hard soil and knocked it on the nearest one, and sure enough, the stone really emitted a thin puff of smoke and scattered it in the wind.

"Ouch...... Damn, what is this, it really stinks!" The Taoist pinched his nose and waved his hand, motioning for the young man to quickly put the stinky thing away.

The young man was unbelievable.

In his nose, the smoke seemed to have a faint scent like a green lan.

The Taoist took a few steps back: "Put it away, put it away." ”

The young man looked aggrieved and wrapped the green stone back into the black cloth, let go of his hands, and the "fragrance" suddenly disappeared without a trace.

When the stone was completely wrapped, the Taoist opened his nostrils, took a sharp breath, and finally recovered.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Do you smell this smoke and smell it?

The boy nodded firmly.

After hearing this, the Taoist expression seemed to be happy, and he touched a compass from his back and fiddled with it. He held the tray in his left hand, and his right hand dotted around the silver needles on the plate from time to time. Looking at that solemn appearance, it seems to be participating in some great heavenly opportunity.

The boy quickly held his breath.

He was afraid that he would spoil the luck of heaven and earth with one breath, and his eyes swayed left and right with the compass in the Dao Chief's hand.

"Puff ......" There was a sudden sound from the compass, which was so pleasant to the ears of the young man.

"Dao Chief, what have you discovered?"

......

......

......

"Hehe, this compass was torn by me......"

"This ...... This was not good at learning under the master back then, and now he has finally revealed his flaws. Yu Daoren said shyly, and threw the compass behind his back without looking back. I don't know how far this poor Taoist magic tool rolled along the Qingyang soil slope.

Nian An was dumbfounded.

As if to forgive his sins, the Taoist pinched a "Yuqing" hand and sat on the spot and recited: "Nan no Amitabha, sin, sin ......"

"Dao Chief...... I remember this is a Buddhist ritual, right?"

......

"Noise, do you want to change your life?"

The boy's eyes widened again, and he nodded vigorously.

"Then don't gossip, I'm going to help the little lady get rid of the demon today, this is the top priority, you can go back first." That green stone is placed with you, and don't show it to anyone lightly. Since the stone finds you, then there must be your chance, and learning to hold on to it is the other side. ”

As he spoke, the Taoist stood up and patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, impatiently signaling for the young man to leave.

"Go ahead...... Go ahead...... Get out of my way. ”

Nian An turned his head and wanted to leave, but he hesitated, but he turned around and asked, "Dao Chief, why do you want to help me change my life?"

The boy bit his mouth, his teeth chattering.

Yu Daoren didn't speak, stood up straight, straightened out his Dao robe and Dao hat, and pulled out the mahogany sword from behind his back and stuck it on the ground, and with a breath, his robe swelled into a ball.

......

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The mahogany sword drew a circle in place and enveloped the two of them.

The snow-white Dao robe rolled up, and the Taoist pressed down and whispered secretly in the young man's ear: "Everyone in the world says that the Tao is impermanent, Nian An, how do you know that your Tao is not my Tao for the rest of my life?"

Farther in the sky, there was a brilliant thunderclap.

"Go ahead...... Whether it succeeds or not, look at this heavenly opportunity......" Yu Sheng suddenly raised his head, and narrowed the distance between him and the boy in three or two steps.

Nian An lowered his head and tightly put the package into his arms, bowed deeply to the Taoist and the clouds that drooped in the sky, and retreated step by step from Qingyang Mountain.

On the top of the slope, Yu Sheng tore off his Taoist hat, split his head, pinched a Qin dialect, and sang: "The layman is Zhaozhao...... I'm a one-man gangster...... The laity observe...... I'm alone ......"

The compass got up from somewhere and flew back into the hands of the Taoist.
