Snowflakes fell on the road, trees, rivers, and fields in large flowers, and the wind blew away, and a dense cold rushed to people's faces, making passers-by unable to see the situation more than ten meters away.

Fortunately, the New Year is coming soon, and the vast majority of people who have been busy for a year are nesting in warm and warm homes, happily preparing all kinds of things needed for the New Year, so few people are still walking on the road during this period, and the snow on the road has a thick layer.

A delicate carriage stopped in the middle of the road, one of the wheels had been crooked because it was stuck in the snow, and the coachman in a decent cotton coat was whipped the horses there, but he still couldn't pull the carriage, and scolded in a low voice: "I still have to go out in such a big snow, the lord doesn't know what to think, this I think eighty percent is also in the rivers and lakes." ”

I tried to push the car again, and found that I couldn't push it by myself, so I had the intention to call the guests in the car to come down, and I was afraid of offending this person, if I said so much in front of the master, my ass would not bloom. Wait, a passer-by came out of the wind and snow in the rear, with a medium and slightly tall build, and snow on his body and hair.

The coachman immediately caught up: "This kind man passing by, please do me a favor." "I learned the Sven language of the old man, but it was a bit nondescript.

The passer-by stopped when he heard this, and the coachman realized that it was a young young student wearing a Taoist robe, holding a black long flag, although the appearance can only be regarded as average, but there is a kind of old man often said, what's coming, yes, demeanor!

Shi Xuan has been walking from Tongxuan Mountain to the north for several days, the first two days are fine, through the city, did not encounter any obstacles, I didn't expect that just after crossing the Cai River, it began to snow for several consecutive days, the road became very difficult to walk, fortunately, Shi Xuan does not have to hurry, and he likes snow very much, so every time he walks in the heavy snow, it can be regarded as a special interest.

Shi Xuan only glanced at the coachman's words, and then said with a smile: "You call the people in the car down, and you can push it by yourself, so why do you need help from the poor." ”

The coachman smiled and lowered his voice: "How dare I, the car is a distinguished guest of my master, Xiao Dao Ye helps, and when I arrive in Kaiyang City in the future, I Li San Li Ji still has some fame, so if you have anything, just look for me." ”

"Hehe, okay, if Poor Dao goes to Fengcheng, he will find you. Shi Xuan was a little funny when he saw the coachman's appearance, but he would help if it was convenient.

"Oh, little Daoist, don't believe it. Li Ji looked at the carriage behind him, and said in a low voice: "The master of my family has been transferred from Liangzhou to the history of the Fengzhou assassin, and the yamen is in Kaiyang City, and I Li Er can still say something in front of the master." ”

Shi Xuan didn't pay attention to this, smiled and didn't speak, and walked to the carriage with the coachman, the distinguished guest in the car didn't know what he was doing, anyway, there was no movement.

He stretched out his hand and tried it, and with a sharp force, the wheel rose through the hollow, and then the whole carriage moved a few feet to the side, and then came to a steady stop.

After doing this, Shi Xuan was very satisfied with his current strength, and the effect of forging his body and adding internal qi was indeed good. He signaled to the coachman and went on.

The coachman's mouth opened slightly, unable to close, until Shi Xuan's back disappeared into the wind and snow, he felt that his mouth was full of coldness, and he kept snorting to the side, and then rubbed his eyes: "Damn, this little Taoist priest doesn't look like a few taels of meat, this strength is boundless, it won't be a spirit, don't scare yourself!"

He hurriedly returned to the carriage, raised his whip, and continued his journey in the snow.

Shi Xuan didn't see a small town until dusk, and the street facing the entrance of the town was children frolicking outside, running around in twos and threes.

The children saw Shi Xuan shaking off the snow on his body at the entrance of the street, it may be that the heavy snow blocked the road, and he hadn't seen a foreigner for several days, so he immediately gathered around, looking at it with a smile all around, and some pointed to Shi Xuan's black flags, if Shi Xuan looked back, he immediately hid on both sides, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately surrounded him again.

Seeing these happy children, Shi Xuan's mood was also infected, and he wanted to go up to tease the ghosts, but the sound of firecrackers sounded at the other end of the street, and the children were excited when they heard it: "Go and see the firecrackers!"

"Don't steal firecrackers from me!"

"Brother...... Brother, wait for the little girl. ”

Then they ran over in a swarm. Shi Xuan shook his head with a smile and asked a few aunts who were chatting on the side of the road, "Auntie, where is the inn in the town?"

Several aunts have been paying attention to Shi Xuan for a long time, after all, they are the first outsiders to enter the town today, and one of them has a round face and big eyes and a very kind aunt pointing to the end of the street: "No, you can see it when you walk to the end of the street." ”

Shi Xuan expressed his gratitude, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the round-faced aunt, who was a little mysterious: "Hou Sheng, the eldest lady sees that you are still rushing outside in such a heavy snowfall, there must be something urgent, the eldest lady told you, go to the Chixia Shenjun Temple at the west end of the street to worship, and you will definitely be able to make your wish come true." ”

Shi Xuan thought to himself, and said to his aunt: "Auntie, look at my body, this flag, I am an authentic Taoist priest, this Chixia Shenjun Temple is not our Daomen, right?"

The faces of the aunts were a little ugly, and another aunt who looked shrewd spoke first: "Ouch, little Taoist, you Taoist priests are useless, I have been to the Taoist temple for several years, my daughter-in-law has not given birth to a child, this Chixia Shenjun Temple was only repaired a few months ago, I only worshiped for a few days, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, little Taoist, don't be a Taoist, how good it is to believe in Chixia Shenjun." ”

"Yes, yes. ”

"You Taoist priests who believe in crooked ways will go to hell after death! Only if you believe in the Chixia Divine Monarch, can you go to heaven to enjoy after death!"

The aunts were babbling that Shi Xuan was not interested in these beliefs and the like, and walked to the end of the street without turning a deaf ear.

"This damn little Taoist priest will definitely go to hell after death and be fried by the Chixia Divine Monarch!"

"I think he must have done too many bad things!"

............

Shi Xuan suddenly remembered that he had heard of this Chixia Divine Monarch in Xia An City before, and heard it in the gossip of the neighborhood, but he couldn't imagine that this Divine Monarch already had so many believers now? This is said to be very spiritual, is it the world's send-off Guanyin.

Walk to the end of the street, the children are gathered in front of a large family, watching the family set off firecrackers there, and when the firecrackers are heard, a group of children rushed up, wanting to pick up the firecrackers to play, but they were stopped by the fierce and vicious families, and out of the door came a man wearing a strange robe and skirt, like a red cloth, and shouted: "Please God~!"

Then a group of ten men standing at the door, dressed in the same clothes as him, but pale red, walked into the gate, following the leader of the red-clothed man holding a wooden sign.

Shi Xuan didn't see the reason for it, so he bypassed the crowd and walked towards the inn on the other corner. As I passed by the crowd, I heard the children complaining, "Really, it can't be done to pick up a firecracker." ”

"These people in red clothes are so fierce, and they came to my house to get money, my father said that he won't eat meat during the Chinese New Year tomorrow, and he must donate the money to some god's temple!" ”

"My family has also donated a lot of things!"

"My family too, my family too!"

"Hey, little ghosts, don't talk nonsense. When a middle-aged man on the lookout heard these words, he taught them a lesson, "This is to show his sincerity to the Divine Monarch, who will bless your family with a good harvest in the coming year, and will only go to heaven after death! If you dare to talk nonsense, you will go to hell in the future! You will be eaten by evil spirits and your hands and feet......

The children were a little frightened when they heard this, and they all grimaced and scattered home.

"These troublemakers, don't look at it, this big household, didn't you believe in Shenjun before, but now it's okay, there are several sick people at home one after another, hehe, I don't know how much silver it cost to invite Shenjun's god card in. The middle-aged man showed off to the people around him.

"Yes, yes. Everyone nodded in unison.

Shi Xuan listened to his curiosity, and looked at the Zhang Mansion with luck and qi technique, only to see a white air pillar, mixed with a little black, and then a red air pillar rose in the mansion, the surface was solemn and sacred, but there were some black spots inside, and at the same time, the whole air column gave Shi Xuan the feeling of extreme and stubborn, but the essence was not strong, at least not as good as Shi Xuan himself. As soon as the red qi column was rushed, the black in the white qi column disappeared completely.

Judging from the results of Wangqi, this Chixia Divine Monarch really has some cultivation, but he doesn't know what the black spots inside are, after all, a "god", in such a situation, Shi Xuan has no experience and no knowledge, and he can't judge it.

Seeing that it was not an evil god, Shi Xuan turned around and walked into the inn.

On the New Year's Day, in addition to the owner's family in the inn, even Xiao Er has gone home for the New Year, but this is good, it is clean and peaceful, and it is convenient for Shi Xuan to practice.

After a night without saying anything, Shi Xuan got up early in the morning, and the snow that had been fluttering for several days finally stopped, and the warm sun shone on his body, bursts of warmth.

Shi Xuan didn't plan to stay in this town for long, and was about to settle out and leave after breakfast, when he heard a burst of crying from outside the inn, followed the sound, and saw a middle-aged man in a white-washed cotton robe, holding a big package in his hand, struggling forward there, his left leg was held by a woman in her thirties who was also dressed plainly, and he dragged it forward.

"The child's father, can't all be dedicated to the gods, our family still has to live, woo woo. The woman clung to her arms and wept aloud. Next to the woman stood a little girl, who also cried.

"You damn it, this is the time to show our sincerity! Not every time we say goodbye at home!" the middle-aged man twitched his legs.

"It's all dedicated, and we're going to starve our family to death!" "Daddy, the second girl is hungry, woo." ”

"It's good to starve to death like this! How sincere! The Divine Monarch will definitely let us go to heaven! It will be fine then!" the middle-aged man's face was full of enthusiasm.
