Shuzhong has the reputation of "the country of abundance" since ancient times, the products are abundant, the people are outstanding, and there are many famous mountains and rivers in Emei and Qingcheng in the territory, and I don't know how many magnificent poems have been left in the past and present.

Now the heroes are in dispute all over the world, the Central Plains is constantly slaughtering, and even the imperial capital Chang'an has almost not been spared the disaster of swords.

However, all parts of Shuzhong are still rich and prosperous, and the county city of Chengdu is full of singing and dancing, and it has not been affected by the war at all.

In the southwest of Chengdu, there is a Taoist temple called "Qingyang Palace", the fame is far inferior to the Erwang Temple in Dujiangyan, but the incense is also prosperous, and there is an endless stream of good men and women every day.

There are Lingzu Building, Mixed Yuan Building, Qizhen Building, Sanqing Palace, Doumu Palace, Huanglou Palace, Tang Wang Palace, Sanzhen Palace, Sanguan Palace, etc. on the third floor and six halls, plus Bagua Pavilion, Merit Temple, Xiaoxitian, Shuiyuntang and many other pavilions and scenic spots, intrigue and corner eaves and walls, even if you don't believe in Sanqing, you will also take this place as a good place to go out.

It is now March, and the cold spring in the north is beginning to melt, but the suburbs of Chengdu have already bloomed like a brocade breeze and sunshine.

At noon, the Qingyang Palace was crowded with people, and the air was filled with green smoke and a strong smell of incense.

Diao Xiaosi drove a big car to mix in the flow of people who came to worship incense, and slowly drove to the mountain gate of Qingyang Palace.

Now the cart puller has been replaced by two big green mules, and there are many carts and horses coming and going, but they are no longer conspicuous.

Diao Xiaosi stopped the car, came to the mountain gate and saluted the two gates, and said with a smile: "Two Taoist leaders, I came from Chang'an City under the guidance of a friend, and I want to visit the real people. ”

An older doorman looked Diao Xiaosi up and down, and saw that it was a hairy young man who was less than twenty years old, dressed casually and ordinarily, and he didn't bring an entourage with him, not like the prince and grandson from a famous family in Beijing.

Hearing Diao Xiaosi name and say that he wanted to see the host of the palace, he smiled and said, "You melon baby is not small." I don't know who your friend is, don't tell Poor Dao that it's an old woman sweeping the streets in Chang'an City. ”

Diao Xiaosi's temper has become very good, firstly, after all, he has to ask for others, and secondly, Chengdu and Emei Mountain are not far away, so it is better to be low-key for the sake of his own life.

He forced his mind to cultivate this door, and said with a smile: "The Taoist chief is half right, my friend's work is indeed similar to sweeping the floor. But he didn't just sweep the streets. ”

The head of the door glanced at Diao Xiaosi, cheered up, and said, "Could it be that he still cares about sweeping the thatched house?"

Diao Xiaosi's smile did not change, and he replied in a gentle voice: "His surname is Li, and his single name is a Yuan character." The bad old man cleans the world, including the thatched house, of course. ”

The door head was like a rooster that was only choked by the neck, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Diao Xiaosi in a daze, no matter what, he couldn't believe that this kid would have anything to do with Li Yuan, the prince of Tang Guo, who was in charge of the government and the opposition.

The younger doorman next to him saw that his senior brother was embarrassed, and stepped forward and said: "The little baby talks big, just like you, you don't even deserve to lift shoes for Tang Guogong." People like you who swagger and deceive the autumn wind have seen a lot of poor roads over the years. ”

Diao Xiaosi was furious, and was about to fly up and press a shoe print for this kid, when he heard someone in the mountain gate call out in surprise: "Little fourth brother, is it you?"

Diao Xiaosi heard the prestige, and saw Yu Linglong, Xia Peiheng and his wife walking out of the mountain gate accompanied by a Taoist priest from Qingyang Palace.

As soon as he saw Xia Peiheng, he felt sick to his stomach, but after all, he and Yu Linglong had fought side by side in a bloody battle, which could be regarded as a friend in distress. Since people took the initiative to greet enthusiastically, Diao Xiaosi couldn't ignore it, and beckoned to her: "Mr. Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Only then did the two men know that the "melon baby" in front of Lu Dao was actually Diao Xiaosi, who was shocked by Wang Xuanshu in the virtual realm of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum a few days ago.

Thinking that he once pointed at the nose of the Jinding monk and scolded his mother in front of the public, the two heads of the door couldn't help but shudder, and apologized in a sneering manner: "It turned out to be Diao Gongzi, we have eyes and no beads, forgive our sins!"

"I-" Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes at the two doors, pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't it a melon baby?!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" the two doormen smiled and bowed again and again to apologize, looking embarrassed.

At this time, Yu Linglong walked closer, and Xia Peiheng stood far away and did not follow.

Diao Xiaosi didn't wait for Yu Linglong to speak, and asked first: "Mr. Yu, why did you come to Qingyang Palace?"

Yu Linglong said with a wry smile: "Two days ago, my father received a letter from Uncle Geng, saying that he was going to resign from the head of the Jiangzhou Branch of the Huitong Dart Bureau and go to Chang'an to start a new business. Dad was anxious and sad, and he accidentally went wrong while cultivating, and now he is seeking medical treatment and recuperation in Qingyang Palace. ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and almost blurted out that he deserved it. But seeing Yu Linglong's gloomy expression, her eyebrows were worried, these two words lingered in her throat for a long time, and she couldn't bear to add fuel to the fire after all.

Yu Linglong is known as the Zhuge of the Female Middle School, how could she not know that Diao Xiaosi has a grudge against her father and husband? She sighed and said: "There are indeed many things that Pei Heng has not done well in Chang'an, and it is no wonder that it makes people angry. ”

Diao Xiaosi glanced at Xia Peiheng and said, "Fifty taels of silver are sold for Liuyuan, do you believe it? Do you dare to say that the person surnamed Xia didn't take any benefit among them?"

Yu Linglong hurriedly said: "Little fourth brother, you misunderstood Pei Heng about this. The situation was ......"

Diao Xiaosi smiled and interrupted her defense: "Mr. Yu, we are old friends. You should know that I, Diao Xiaosi, have never been the ones who are willing to suffer. Trouble tell the surname Xia a word, let him send 50,000 taels of silver to Qingyang Palace within three days, this matter is for your sake. ”

Yu Linglong said slightly angrily: "Little fourth brother!"

Diao Xiaosi said leisurely: "Don't worry, only 50,000 taels can't kill him." I bet that the surnamed Xia received 180,000 yuan from Wang Xuanshu, otherwise how could he be in such a good mood to help Zheng Guogong's Mansion speak, and even the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Yuanba were so angry that they wanted to beat him? I can guess this kind of thing, and you should be able to guess it. ”

Yu Linglong was silent for a moment, and Diao Xiaosi smiled: "Three days, no waiting." After speaking, he said to the two doormen who were standing on the side with four stupid eyes: "Excuse me, and say that I am waiting here to see him." ”

The two gates woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stumbled into the mountain gate.

Yu Linglong smiled bitterly and said, "Little Four, you are still the same." I will persuade Pei Heng to make amends to you, I just hope that my father will not know about this matter. I'm worried that his body won't be able to stand it. ”

Diao Xiaosi nodded and said: "Mr. Yu is good to say, I didn't come to Chengdu to find Xia Peiheng's bad luck, but it is inevitable to let him taste a little bitterness, which you should know." ”

Yu Linglong sighed secretly, knowing that Diao Xiaosi was not talking big. Perhaps the most wrong thing Xia Peiheng did in his life was to squeeze out Geng Shaohua and sell Liuyuan cheaply. At that time, although he also felt deeply inappropriate, he tried to persuade him in private, but after all, he still acquiesced in his approach.

But who would have expected that Diao Xiaosi not only came back alive from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but also cultivated to a great advancement, and even the Jinding Divine Monk could not help it. Today's Huitong Dart Bureau is scattered, his father is seriously ill in bed, and internal and external troubles are endless, so he is not Diao Xiaosi's opponent at all.

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong couldn't help laughing at herself: "I also overestimate myself." His current opponent is the Jinding Divine Monk, Wang Shichong...... How can a little one be qualified to be his opponent?"

She looked back at Xia Peiheng, who had a cold face, and said astringently: "Little fourth brother, I'll go." ”

Diao Xiaosi watched Yu Linglong's back leave, remembering the past when he died Duan Zhentian, he shook his head and muttered: "Niang Xipi, why did your heart become so soft? ”

Suddenly, someone behind him said: "Why should Diao Gongzi be annoyed, good intentions will eventually be rewarded." ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with a dark face standing in front of him, who looked a little similar to Ye Fashan, wearing a cyan Taoist robe, and his hair was combed neatly.

The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi said: "Poor Dao is the host of Qingyang Palace, I don't know what Diao Gongzi has come all the way to see and teach?"

Diao Xiaosi has met many leading figures in the two realms of righteousness and demons over the years, and his vision has become more and more poisonous, and he suddenly saw that this Taoist essence in Tsing Yi has a deep introverted bearing, which is definitely at the same level as the old thief three years ago.

He said what he meant in the future, and the real person bowed slightly: "Since it is a matter that Tang Guogong personally confessed, the poor Dao should serve himself." Without waiting for Diao Xiaosi to be happy, he suddenly said: "Heavenly King Cover the Tiger-"

Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and vaguely remembered that Li Yuan seemed to have said to himself about such a thing as a code connection, but what was that code word?

The smile of the faint real person gradually faded, and he repeated: "The Heavenly King covers the tiger." ”

Diao Xiaosi was in a hurry, opened his mouth and said, "Chicken stewed mushrooms!"

The real person was stunned, and coughed dryly: "Monks don't eat chicken." ”

Diao Xiaosi scratched his head and tried to recall: "What is the second half of the couplet-the pig standing opposite?"

The face of the real person immediately darkened, and he patiently guided: "Master Diao, don't worry, you think about it again." ”

"Heavenly King Cover Tiger ......" Diao Xiaosi meditated bitterly: "Sleeping and snoring? Noβ€”it should be going to eat oden more like thisβ€”"

The scattered real person was completely speechless, and said: "Diao Gongzi, can you not think about eating and sleeping? In life, you should always do something meaningful." ”

Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted his head and shouted: "There is a heavenly king and a tiger on the earth, everyone is here to gamble! The dead old man said that life is full of gambling, this thing is always meaningful, right?"

The scattered real person couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Diao Xiaosi's shirt, and shouted in his ear: "It's the river demon of Pagoda Town!"

Diao Xiaosi was almost deafened by him, and said in confusion: "What did you say?"

The real person gritted his teeth and said: "I repeat, you heard clearly, the joint code given by Tang Guogong is: 'The king of heaven covers the tiger, everyone comes to gamble'β€”β€”"

Before the words fell, the good men and women at the door suddenly fell to their stomachs.
