At the junction of Tang and South Korea, because of the perennial war, the people are not able to make a living, and the land is barren and rarely populated. It was only after an armistice was signed between the two countries that two countries began to return to the wilderness.

On the desolate land, a pair of young men and girls walked in the distance, and the young man's clear voice could be heard from afar.

"Senior sister, why did you choose such a place where birds don't, and you didn't even see a ghost for three days, it's extremely boring. This tone is naturally Jiang Jianqiu.

He had been cultivating on Huai Mountain for nearly two months before he recovered, Ling Nanzi instructed the two of them to travel down the mountain to increase their knowledge, after the incident of Chengjing, the old man broke his arm, and his spirit seemed to be depressed a lot, Jiang Ling and the others did not think of a way to persuade them, so they only went down the mountain according to the master's wishes.

"Senior brother, now that Chengjing is in turmoil, some of the forbidden troops in the capital under Wan Shanhe have become rogues and plundered everywhere, although we are not afraid of those rogues, but the master has explained that you can't use immortal magic and Taoism on ordinary people, so there is always some trouble when walking near Chengjing. As for Tangyin Mountain, there are many demon beasts, and you and I are not qualified to go to the mountains to train, so we have to come to this area. Ling Shengxue's voice was as calm and indifferent as ever.

Jiang Jianqiu waved his hand, walking on the wilderness for a few days made him feel a little irritable, and said loudly: "I know, the problem is that we haven't seen a ghost in this barren mountain and mountain for a few days, 'enter the world to practice', what is this cultivation, do you practice walking?"

Ling Shengxue suddenly looked ahead and said, "Senior brother, look, there seems to be someone over there?"

"How is it possible, aren't you dazzled!" Jiang Jianqiu casually looked in the direction of Ling Shengxue, there were really people over there! I saw that a few farmers were cultivating fields in a wilderness, and looking at their rear, a large area of land had been reclaimed.

Jiang Jianqiu suddenly came to his senses, and ran towards the group of farmers with a shout. The farmers were a little surprised to see strangers coming, after all, there were few pedestrians in this wilderness.

Jiang Jianqiu nodded at a farmer who was at the head, and said with a smile: "Uncle, my junior sister and I are lost around here, may I ask what kind of boundary is this?"

The farmer smiled innocently and said, "This is the Qingying Ridge, which is the battlefield where Tang and Han have fought many times. Little brother, look at your dress not like ordinary people, are you a monk on some immortal mountain? ”

Jiang Jianqiu nodded with a smile and said, "We are disciples of the Huaishan Sect, and now we are ordered by our master to travel down the mountain to practice, and we have inadvertently passed by here. What is the direction of the nearest town?"

The peasant was confused when he heard the name of the Huaishan faction, and it seemed that he had never heard of it. He thought for a while and said, "The nearest should be Qingshan Town, where it is more than a hundred miles to the west. ”

Jiang Jianqiu nodded, thanked the farmer, turned back to Ling Shengxue and said, "Let's rush to Qingshan Town first, and then decide on the next step when we inquire about the surrounding situation." ”

Ling Shengxue didn't answer his words, but stared directly at the group of farmers, and after a while, she walked up to the farmers and asked, "Uncle, where did you get this jade talisman on your chest?"

Jiang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, only then did he find that these farmers all had a pale green jade talisman hanging on their chests, with some charms carved on them, which looked like they should be from the hands of the immortal family.

The farmer smiled and said, "This is a gift from the immortals, this area was originally a battlefield, and many people died, and now there are often ghosts and ghosts that hurt people. The immortals gave us this jade talisman with the effect of exorcism and self-protection, and without this jade talisman, we really wouldn't dare to open up wasteland here. ”

Ling Shengxue nodded and said, "Can you let me take a look at this jade talisman?"

The farmer nodded, took the jade talisman from his chest and handed it to Ling Shengxue, Ling Shengxue picked up the jade talisman and looked at it for a long time, then returned it to the farmer, and said, "Thank you, may I ask if the immortal is around here?"

"More than 20 miles to the west, there is an ancient temple, the immortal is now temporarily living in the earthen temple, his surname is Tu, he will open the altar to preach the Dharma once every seven days, and the people who go will give this amulet, and the people in this radius of dozens of miles are indebted to his protection. ”

Ling Shengxue nodded, thanked the farmer again, and then turned to walk towards Jiang Jianqiu.

Jiang Jianqiu looked at Ling Shengxue and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this jade talisman?"

Ling Shengxue shook her head and said, "It should indeed be the function of exorcism and self-protection, but there are some techniques that I don't understand very well, and they don't seem to be the talisman techniques that have been circulated in Central Continent, so I'm a little curious." This earth immortal is not far from here, we might as well go and find out. ”

Jiang Jianqiu nodded and said, "At least it's better than taking a walk in this deserted wilderness." He suddenly laughed and said, "How can this person have the surname 'Tu', is he the land lord or not?"

"Senior brother, this immortal has sheltered the homeless people within a radius of dozens of miles, and his merits are immeasurable, you should respect him. ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go and meet this land lord immortal. ”

On the barren field, there is an ancient temple standing alone, the temple occupies a small area, only two layers of courtyard, the courtyard walls around are damaged, some places have completely collapsed, it seems that no one has repaired for many years. There are two magic flags inserted in front of the main entrance, on which some scriptures are written, and a gust of wind blows through the magic flags and moves with the wind, adding a bit of weirdness to this desolate ancient temple.

It was already afternoon when Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue walked to the place where the ancient temple was, and the area was full of empty wilderness, and the ancient temple was very conspicuous, and the two of them didn't have much effort to find it.

When they walked to the temple gate, Jiang Jianqiu looked at the leaky courtyard walls everywhere, thinking that even the walls had collapsed, what was the meaning of this gate. Still, he stepped forward and slapped the gate a few times.

The sound of a knock on the door echoed in the wilderness, and only the whirring wind sounded on the other side of the door, and after a long time, just before Jiang Jianqiu completely lost his patience, the door creaked outward, and an elderly man walked out slowly, this old man was stunned when he saw Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue, and asked with his hands folded: "May I ask what the two donors are doing?"

Jiang Jianqiu clasped his fists and saluted and said: "We are disciples of the Huaishan faction, and we heard from the villagers that there is an immortal surnamed Tu who distributes jade talismans in this temple to eliminate disasters and solve problems, so I came to ask to see this immortal." ”

The old man smiled when he heard this, and said, "The surname of the contemptible people is the name of the earth, and the immortals can't talk about it, and it is I who distributes the jade talismans here." You two have come from afar, please come in and talk. ”

Jiang Jianqiu and Ling Shengxue nodded, and followed the old man into the temple. After entering the front yard, I saw that the house in this temple was also in disrepair, the statue on the throne in the main hall had been removed by whom, only an empty pedestal remained, there was only one tablet on the incense case, which said "Linglong Young Master", three incense sticks were inserted in front of the tablet, and the light smoke was swirling.
