"Second Senior Brother, what do you mean by forcing the little junior brother down the mountain like this!"

"Fourth junior brother, this is not right, senior brother, where do I have to embarrass him, it's not that the junior brother voluntarily wants to go down the mountain. ”

"You ......"

"Humph!"

Qian Zhi looked at the senior brother in charge who was still with him poorly, and flicked his sleeves angrily and walked out of the Shangqing Palace, chasing in the direction of the little junior brother of the Houshan Patriarch Palace.

......

"Senior brother in charge, what's the trouble. ”

"I can't always be the same as my senior brother, when I was young, the master didn't let me go down the mountain, and when the senior brother went down the mountain, I didn't dare to go down the mountain, hesitated for more than ten years, and finally made up my mind to go down the mountain, but I became the head of the house, and I couldn't go down the mountain again!"

"Ugh..."

"Let the young people solve the problems of the young people themselves, you don't care so much!"

......

......

The next day, Qingcheng Mountain Patriarch Palace, Mao Shi.

The gate of the Patriarch's Hall was opened.

Since the little junior brother entered the ancestral hall, it has been rare to open the door so early in the past few years, and after opening the door, a young Taoist priest walked out, with a little stubble on his face that had been scraped off, a yellow crown on his head, a green shirt, and a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and nothing else.

"Lethe"

The young Taoist who came out was stunned, looking at a pretty woman standing quietly at the door, with apricot eyebrows and ruddy lips, wearing light cyan clothes, plain clothes and light makeup, she was really like a fairy out of the dust, covered with a layer of tulle, and the style was the clothing of the female disciples of the Qingcheng faction.

"The ancestral hall is cold, prepare more clothes,...... the young Taoist priest's lips trembled, his head turned slightly to the side, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the woman in front of him.

"Master Qingwei's nephew, how precious!" I didn't know what to think of, but I finally said this.

The delicate woman's eyes were immediately moistened with a little water.

"You bastard!" the pretty woman covered her mouth with the corner of her sleeve, but she couldn't hide the choking sound, turned around and walked away, walking faster and faster.

“......”

The young Taoist muttered to himself in Qingcheng Mountain in the morning, but this was said to the old ghost in the mountain......

......

Qingcheng Shandan level thousand, as long as the foot disc is stable enough, it is not difficult to go down the mountain, although Li Lichuan is a little lazy in cultivation, but he has been practicing for more than ten years, and there is no problem at all in going down the mountain.

There is a two-zhang high stone tablet standing on the side of the Dan step, and the three big characters "Chicheng Mountain" are chiseled out by three on it, Qingcheng Mountain is also called Chicheng Mountain, it is estimated that the name of Chicheng Mountain is the first, and this tablet naturally has been carved for many years.

The patriarch hall of the Qingcheng faction has eight big characters of "Qingxiao Town Law, Lingyin Chicheng", and the word Chicheng is estimated to come from this, these eight characters are the words of the Qingcheng faction, and it is passed to the head of this generation Zhang Ling is the seventeenth generation, so the generation of the head is the beginning of the green character, and the road number is Qinghengzi.

As for the other brothers, they don't have words and road numbers, one is to save trouble, and the other is unnecessary, if you don't make a big reputation, who cares if you use a road number.

Standing on the Dan Steps, there were two people.

One person is chubby, and he is alive and well, it is Li Lichuan's fourth senior brother Qian Zhi, and the other person is quite surprising to him, it is his unsmiling third senior brother Lu Zhongting.

"Little junior brother, come here"

Seeing the little junior brother from afar, Qian Yan beckoned and jumped twice.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he walked over.

"Little junior brother, this is for you, the first time you went down the mountain, I guessed that you didn't know what to bring, and sure enough, I guessed it, hahaha!"

Senior Brother Qian put a bulging burden behind his back on Li Lichuan's hand.

The little junior brother immediately borrowed it and had a bitter face, this bag was the same as it looked, it was very heavy, but I didn't know what it was so heavy.

"Little junior brother, the mountain is not as good as the mountain, be careful in everything, your lazy temperament should also be changed!"

After speaking, he handed over an old peachwood sword that he had been holding just now.

Taking the burden, the peachwood sword was carried behind his back and slammed to the ground towards the two people standing in front of him.

"Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, cherish!"

Then bow to the Heavenly Master Cave in the southeast direction.

"Master, the apprentice has come down the mountain!"

Turn around and leave......

Dan steps thousand, step a thousand steps!

After walking a long way, the figure is about to be hidden by the green trees.

"Little junior brother!"

A long cry came out from afar.

The senior brother in charge said...... When you get tired one day, go back to the mountain!"

On the Dan steps, the little junior brother shook the full gourd in his hand, chuckled, and didn't look back.

......

......

......

There is a small village more than 20 miles southeast of Jincheng, because it is close to the Minjiang River, the old people in the village took a name earlier, Linjiang Village, and it is called to the present, from the beginning of a small village of more than a dozen families to the village of dozens of families now.

Although he is only a village, the people in the crop field have been eating in the field for half his life, and he is worthy of the name given by his father who died of illness in the early years, and he is only in his forties and has a small half of his hair gray, his face is dark, and he has a slight hunchback.

A family on the periphery of the river embankment is Liu Dawei's newly built house, although it is a village head, but his family's house is not much bigger than other households, they are all neighbors, they take care of each other on weekdays, although they have a hard time, but there is no big wave, even if it is a drought for a year or two, they can be hungry and full to live.

It stands to reason that this world is not bad, there have been no military disasters for many years, and the days should be better and better, who would have thought of this!

Linjiang Village is now worried in the house.

The house is the help of the villagers, who built a new house for a few years, and the villagers build a house very simply, the wood is ready, and the villagers help it, and they don't need to pay for their work, and they are done with a meal.

"That's not good! The widow at the head of the village had only one and a half children left before she died, although she said ......"

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Liu Cunzheng's face, and he opened his mouth in a slump of words.

"Then what if you don't, hundreds of people in the village are here!" said an old man with little hair in the middle, glaring at his little eyes.

It turned out that Liu Cunzheng was not the only one in the house, there were three old men sitting in the house, and the oldest one was about a few years old, sitting on the edge of the earthen kang.

"That little disaster star doesn't even know who his father is, when he asked before, he only said that the child's father died, but she killed the old lady who worked hard to bring her up, this child is unlucky, maybe it is the disaster that their mother and son brought to our village. Another old man, who had lost most of his teeth, also puffed out his cheeks.

"But if that kid dies, I'm afraid that the widow will not be able to die!"

"That wild boy who doesn't have a father doesn't care what she does, she dies clean!"

"Knock, knock. ”

The old man, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, picked up the wooden staff on the side and poked them on the ground, and the room, which had been a little noisy just now, was quiet again.

Liu Cunzheng, who was standing on the side, looked at the past, and did not squeak, this old man's surname is Feng, it is the previous village Zheng, the people in the village respectfully call Feng Lao when they see each other on weekdays, and after the old village is running away, some things such as conscription and tax burden can naturally not be done, and the position of the village is on his head, if you really want to say that Liu Dawei can be the village Zheng, or Feng Lao is optimistic about him and mentioned his name, so Liu Dawei is also quite grateful.

The three of them looked at Feng Lao, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, quieted down, and waited for the old village to speak.

"When I was young, there was also a disturbance in the Minjiang River at that time, all saying that it was fishing in the village, robbing the dragon king of food, offending the dragon king in the river, and harming three families. After more than ten years in the village no one dared to fish, a few years ago insect plague, the harvest in the field was less, there were villagers who did not listen to the advice to fish, I thought to myself, if you don't go fishing, you will starve to death, even if you are eaten by the dragon king, it is better than starving to death, so I didn't care about them anymore, I was afraid for half a year, who would have thought that so many years have passed and nothing has happened, I still wondered, I didn't expect this retribution, or came!"

The toothless old man on the side trembled, "Invite disaster, invite disaster, serve the dragon lord well, and naturally it will be fine!"

"There are two hundred people in the village, how can you live if you are really annoyed by the dragon lord, or lose a child, the dragon lord may spare us as soon as he is happy!"

Liu Cunzheng was silent, on one side was a wild boy without a father, and on the other hand, hundreds of lives in the entire village, although the fool was innocent, but he couldn't throw his boy who was not a few years old.

"Okay...... Take her and sacrifice her to the Dragon King!"

As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Liu Cunzheng gritted his teeth.

......

......

The next day, at the head of Linjiang Village,

A wooden case six feet long and three feet wide stands in front of the Minjiang River, with a white linen cloth spread on the wooden table, five large bowls on the table, holding grains, and an old candlestick in front.

There was a group of people kneeling behind such a simple desk, and the three old men who took the lead were the three old men who discussed in the main house of Liu Village yesterday, and they also knelt in front of the desk.

The people of a huge village are here now.

There was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of the case, her hands and feet were tied with straw ropes, and she was thrown behind the desk.

......

"It's time! Let's get started. The old village, who was kneeling in front of the crowd, spoke up and reminded in a low voice.

Liu Cunzheng wiped the sweat on his head, although it was already past the beginning of winter, and the weather was cold, but when he thought that he was going to hold a sacrifice, and there was a village kneeling behind him, he couldn't calm down, although he had been to the city a few times, but there was still a lot of gap between it and now, and he swallowed his saliva.

"Xiaomin Linjiang Village is the village, a few days ago, I didn't know where to offend the Dragon King, and now I am leading the two hundred and eight people in the village to make amends to the Dragon King. ”

After saying these words, Liu Cunzheng also knelt down as if his whole body strength had been gone, and kowtowed three times to Minjiang.

"The Dragon King spares his life!"

"Let our family of three go!"

"Lord Dragon bless, Lord Dragon Lord bless!"

"...... Dragon King"

"The Dragon King will spare the little people!"

“......”

The villagers behind Liu Cun also kowtowed, and the scene was quite chaotic for a while.

"Don't you leave her to the Dragon Lord!" the toothless old man who knelt next to the old village glared at the little girl who was shivering behind the desk.
