Just like a dream, this Raozhou boy Zhang Xingyan said that when he was seventeen years old, he became the deputy hall master of the "Sihai Hall" of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain.

It is unbelievable that this dream, which has been pleaded for for many years without success, has been realized in one day.

No, in the first few days, Xingyan was often half-convinced about this matter, and he said what the deputy hall master was, so he even became a disciple of the Shangqing Palace, he couldn't believe it, and often pulled the old way of Qinghe, and repeatedly confirmed that it made the old way of Qinghe, which was a little unbearable, so that now when he saw Xingyan coming from a distance, he immediately took a detour like the rabbit pheasant saw the wolf dog, and quickly detoured and fled in a panic!

It's just that thanks to the superb efficiency of the world's No. 1 Sect, it soon gave Xingyan a reassurance. In that spring rain, after Ling Chengzi and others drifted away across the white rainbow, only three days later, they brought several Shangqing disciples, and raised a large number of wood and stone craftsmen in Raozhou and Poyang, and began to build on this horseshoe mountain.

Now, Xingyan has resigned from the position of musician in Huayue Building, and has been wandering around this horseshoe mountain all day, supervising and inspecting with those Shangqing disciples.

It's just that Xingyan is a child from a poor family, and he has always been accustomed to hardships, but now he doesn't do anything and just wanders around, but he is not used to it. So, in the first few days, Xingyan often couldn't help but pull his sleeves and wanted to step forward to help.

Of course, the young man's enthusiastic behavior was very obedient in the eyes of the Taoist priest of the Shangqing Palace next to him, and he would be stopped by the Taoist next to him:

"Let's stop, I want to wait for the disciples of the Qing Palace, how can I roll up my sleeves and show my arms and do such mundane things?

Although, the young man still can't quite understand how this can damage the reputation of the sect by doing a favor and taking a hand. However, these Taoists can be said to be their predecessors, since they are reminded like this, they have their own reasons, and they don't have to worry about it now.

Moreover, often at this time, Xingyan suddenly remembered that he was already a disciple of the number one sect in the world - and besides, what kind of deputy hall master!

According to the observation of Xingyan these days, I learned that the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain seems to be indeed powerful. If nothing else, the money alone is very generous. The young man only felt that the money was spent like flowing water, but Uncle Qinghu, who was in charge of the money and expenses, did not change his face, as if he was buying vegetables on the street—this young man, who had never seen a big scene, was always amazed when he saw this!

And the old Dao Qinghe, who is familiar with each other, is now also appointed as the superintendent of the Horseshoe Mountain Courtyard of the Shangqing Palace because of his meritorious knowledge, and since then he has bid farewell to the idle post of "Raozhou Good Fate Office".

It's just that, in the eyes of the awakening, although this old man said that he had taken on a heavy job, he was still the same as in the past, laughing and laughing all the time, and he didn't take these things about the construction of Horseshoe Mountain as something terrible, and took it to heart. This old man, every once in a while, is going to wake up and go to the wine shop in Raozhou City to have a drink.

This is the past so leisurely. In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed—and now, it has reached the end of that spring March.

Now on this Horseshoe Mountain, the mountains are verdant, the grass and trees are verdant, and the green mountain grasses and shrubs are dotted with all kinds of unknown wild flowers, dotted with this spring mountain that looks like blue clouds. In the air of Ueno, there are fine soft tobaccos woven by spring insects everywhere, like mist, like flocculents—

I can't tell whether it's a floral fragrance or a grass smell, and now the whole horseshoe mountain seems to be full of mist and steaming with a breath of intoxication, just like a mellow wine.

Precisely:

The green mountains are red cries, and the smoke outside the tutu is drunk and soft!

In this great spring, Zhang Xingyan, a young man who had just adapted to his status as a disciple of Shangqing, heard another news, which made him half-believe it for several days:

It turned out that his main hall master of the "Sihai Hall" far away in Luofu Mountain, Liu Zongbai and Liu Dao brothers, have officially resigned from the position of hall master and returned to the Shangqing Palace Baoxia Peak Dharma Palace, concentrating on studying Taoist righteousness, and winning the Taoist name "Qingbai". And his vacancy was unanimously decided by the "Four Sons of Shangqing" who currently has the highest seniority in the Shangqing Palace: In view of the fact that the deputy hall master of Sihai Hall is young and promising, respectful and diligent, he is now officially promoted to the main hall master of "Sihai Hall", and hopes to come to Luofu Mountain as soon as possible to inspect things.

Staring at the news from the book passed by the flying pigeon, Xingyan secretly thought in his heart:

"Ahh ”

So, the young man hurriedly asked the old Qinghe Dao next to him for advice.

Hearing the young man ask like this, the old man laughed:

"Hahaha~ I said Zhang, Tang, Lord! You don't know, I have only one main hall master for many years in the lay disciple hall of the Qing Palace, and you are the first and only deputy hall master over the years!"

Looking at the stunned young man, Lao Dao Qinghe felt even more coke, and then said:

"Isn't this 'young and promising' saying that you—— is still talking about me, a bad old man?" haha!"

“......”

The teenager who just knew the facts, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Congratulations, congratulations! Now Hall Master Zhang, I have to give up a few glasses of pine cone wine to Lao Dao!"

This Qinghe old way, since he tasted the pine cone wine of the Xingyan family, he has never forgotten the mellow and long taste, so that now he is always thinking about the wine jar of the Xingyan family, and when he has the opportunity, he will try his best to get up with a cause, pestering the Xingyan to please drink his wine.

"Alas~ I'm leaving Raozhou. ”

Xingyan was a little distracted for a while, ignoring the old man Qinghe's entanglement.

No wonder the awakening is out of the blue. Speaking of which, he has grown so big, although he has long left the mountains and gone to the city of Raozhou to make a living, but no matter what, he has never stepped out of the boundary of Raozhou. The farthest is just to walk around Poyang Lake in Poyang County, but it is still in the territory of Raozhou.

Although Xingyan was forced by his poor family background, he had already made a living in the teahouse, wine shop, fireworks and willow lane, and the people who came and went from the south to the north, and the people of the three religions and nine streams, were also like cattle hair; every time he heard about the business travels in the rivers and lakes in the north and south, he also longed for those strange things in other places. But now that this "order" is in front of him, he really wants to leave his hometown and go to a foreign place far away in the southeast, but he is still a little reluctant, or a little dazed.

However, as soon as the initial stunned passed, he thought about it for a while, but he was relieved - as the so-called "good men are ambitious in all directions", he could go to the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain, which is famous in the world, to practice Taoism, but no matter how many people ask for it, this is his personal experience. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can we not move forward!

——When I thought of the magic spell revealed by Lingchengzi Dao Chief, Xingyan was even more excited!

When I told my parents about this situation, they were also very much in favor. Although they are villagers in the mountains, they do not mean that they are ignorant and ignorant;

For the old Zhang Tou and his wife, since they saw the magical spells displayed by several Taoist elders in front of their homes, now in their minds, the Taoist priests of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain are all immortals;

It was because he was concerned about the future of the child in his heart, and he made it clear to his parents that he was reluctant to give up, but he was urged by the old Zhangtou couple, saying that the old couple were still strong and strong, so that Xingyan did not have to worry;

Hearing that my father and mother were so reasonable, I was very moved. Because, although there is a saying that "good men are ambitious in all directions", but nowadays filial piety is important, and there is also the saying that "parents are here, not far away". When I mentioned this to my father and mother at first, I was still worried in my heart, and I felt that my move was a little unfilial......

Since my father and mother said so, Xingyan's mood suddenly brightened up - fortunately, after being rewarded by the imperial court, the family is now quite rich. And he was spared all kinds of forced labor, so that my father would not have to go on a business trip and suffer.

It's just that Xingyan is still a little relieved, and he asks the old Dao Qinghe, and often takes care of it for him - now because of his own pine cone wine, this old Dao Qinghe and his father are very familiar.

Since he knew that he would not be able to return home for a while, Xingyan postponed the trip for a few days, spent some silver taels, and hired someone to renovate the house and use the bricks and stones to strengthen the house walls, so he was relieved.

In the past few days, it is that Lingyi'er, who knows that she will soon go to Luofu Mountain in Southeast Yuezhou, which is really high and far away, and the road is treacherous, and the girl is quite relieved. So, Lingyi'er made an appointment to wake up, and went to the secluded place of Poyang Lake to teach her the methods of "ice heart knot" and "water without trace".

After he was familiar with it, the princess of the Dragon Palace seemed to think of something, and advised:

"That 'Ice Heart Knot', I'm afraid it's not so reliable, you must be careful after using it!

It turned out that this girl rarely actually used spells, and she suddenly remembered the first time she met Xingyan, and felt that this "ice heart knot" was probably not so powerful, so she reminded Xingyan tightly, for fear that she would make a mistake in the future.

Xingyan saw that the girl was so worried, but she didn't understand it very well, and said secretly in her heart:

"Uh, I'm going to the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain to learn the Tao, not to catch monsters and fight with people—but this Dragon Palace girl is also kind-hearted. ”

Thinking of this, Xingyan sincerely thanked Lingyi.

Seeing that this young man was so polite, Ling Yi'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said:

"Then the jade flute 'Shenxue' will be placed with you, if you are depressed in Luofu Mountain, you can blow it to relieve fatigue - it's just that in the future, don't spoil the name of the palace's 'Snow Flute Lingyi'! By the way, I almost forgot - this princess has always been generous, this time she wakes up and travels far away, and she will have to reward one or two~"

Although she said this a little arrogantly, Xingyan had been with her for a long time, but she knew that Lingyi'er was just joking with him talking like this.

After Lingyi'er finished speaking, she saw her hand out a pair of white jade lotus flowers from her sleeve and handed them to Xingyan:

"This is the princess's reward, take it!"

After Xingyan took it, the girl couldn't help but add:

"You...... If you have no money at that, sell it, or exchange it for a few taels of silver!"

——A heart of love, overflowing with words.

It's just that this Dragon Palace girl doesn't know much about the two concepts of money: this pair of magical and natural Dragon Palace Jade Lotus is really a priceless treasure;

Looking at the pair of white jade lotus flowers in his hand, which are commensurate with each other and crystal beautiful, how can he not know its value. At that moment, he was also quite moved, and said:

"Thank you, princess, for this treasure. But...... I didn't bring anything good with me as a parting gift!"

"That's ......"

- Somewhat unexpectedly, the princess of the Dragon Palace, when she heard his words, was silent, and seemed to be quite disappointed.

Seeing the girl's demeanor, Xingyan was also quite embarrassed, and secretly complained that she was too careless. Just as he was about to explain what he would give her as a souvenir, he suddenly looked at the Lingyi'er, and seemed to have suddenly come up with a good way, so he raised his head and smiled brightly at Xingyan, and said:

"Stupid~ Aren't there exactly two of the pair of white jade lotus carvings that the palace gave you just now? You can give one of them back to me now!"

"Uh, it's yours, I'll give it to you...... Is this appropriate?"

Hearing this, Xingyan felt a little weird, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"What's that, people think it's suitable anyway!"

——After taking one of the white jade lotus flowers that Xingyan handed back, the girl's face was a little drunk. Just as she was stroking Yulian with her hand, her heart was shaking, but she heard the young man in front of her ask:

"By the way, Lingyi, I have heard you mention it before, the name of this 'Snow Flute Lingyi' is actually well-known all over the world - it's just that I am also well-informed in this Raozhou City, but why have I never heard anyone talk about it?"

"It's stupid, it's famous, of course you don't—"

As soon as she said this, the girl, who was blushing a little bit on her face, seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped talking.

Xingyan was a little surprised when he heard that she was only halfway talking, and he stared at Lingyi'er's face—but saw that this originally happy girl was now a little gloomy.

Somehow, the young man asked about Lingyi, but he just didn't say anything.

The wind on the water rises, the smoke and waves are lost, and in the spring of this lake, the two parted like this.

......

Finally, it was time to get up and go to Luofu Mountain.

And did not remind Yan that he had an inseparable goodbye to his parents, neighbors, and acquaintances in the city of Raozhou, and said that the old Dao Qinghe, who had been sent to the awakening for a long time, took out a book and handed it to the awakening when he was finally about to part.

Awake and confused, I took the book over, and saw that on this ephedra paper, there were a few simple words in the book:

『Town House Exorcism Talisman Sutra』

The young man didn't understand what he meant, but he heard the old Qinghe say in a rare and serious way:

"Wake up, go to the Luofu Mountain, be the master of the four seas, if you don't want to, you can study this scripture, so that you can pass the year and earn a few points of wine money. ”

After that, he turned around and didn't look back, but floated away......

Precisely:

I have heard the water dragon moaning

I once watched the Limbo dance

A lifetime of obsession

No dreams to Luofu
