"There must be a monk with great magical powers here, hiding in the dark, and when he saw me looking into the distance, he deliberately lit a cooking smoke to lead me into the urn. ”

"Knowing this, you still throw yourself into the net, Chen Qingniu! Are you stupid or stupid?"

"Less nonsense, give some useful advice!"

"If you come here, you will be safe, if you can't do it, you can fight a bloody way, what else can you do?"

"A broken puppet, what kind of blood road are you talking about?"

"Chen Qingniu, believe it or not, the old lady will part ways with you?"

"Slow down and don't send it. By the way, Shi Ji, take out the book "Rites and Justice". ”

"Immortal Master Chen, I think it's okay, the more dangerous we are, the more we should fight together against the enemy and tide over the difficulties together!

In the noisy communication between the two sides with divine will, under the guidance of the Meng schoolchild, Chen Qingniu finally saw the school, located halfway up the mountain, next to the largest old locust tree.

The main dry skin of the ancient acacia, such as the dragon and phoenix of the seal, is extremely kitsch, according to the rare traces of the fire, adding a bit of simple charm.

Outside the thatched-covered mud house, a young gentleman in a scribe's green shirt sat on a small bamboo chair and quietly looked at Chen Qingniu and Xie Shiji.

There are also two bamboo chairs beside this person for entertaining guests.

Chen Qingniu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward quickly, laughed and said, "Yo, such a coincidence! Wang Daqi Immortal is also here, what a life is not to meet!"

It is the Lotus Peak Martial Fetal Wang Jiao!

Wang Jiao lifted the old wine jug, took a sip of wine, nodded to Xie Shiji, and ignored Chen Qingniu, the guest.

Xie Shiji was also surprised, but still nodded in return.

Chen Qingniu sat down with a big grin, Wang Jiao asked the child to go home for dinner, and the child left respectfully, with a decent appearance and a bit of the bearing of a scholar.

Chen Qingniu looked left and right, pretending to be surprised, "Where is your sword?"

Wang Jiao said flatly: "I advise you, either turn around and go south, you should go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to enjoy the scenery, or simply go west to fight for the opportunity of gluttony, that is, don't go to the border military town to practice soldiers." ”

Chen Qingniu said angrily: "Are you my father or my mother, so wide?"

Wang Jiao sighed, "When I didn't say it." ”

Chen Qingniu asked curiously, "Why did you become a teacher in this small place?" I thought you went directly to that Southern Taoist Ancestral Garden. ”

Wang Jiao asked rhetorically, "Haven't you realized the many oddities in Liangzhou City?"

Chen Qingniu said heartlessly: "Yes, why don't you hurry up and pack up and run away, otherwise you won't bump into your old man." ”

Wang Jiao asked again: "Then do you think that when you reach the border, you have really escaped from the chessboard?"

Chen Qingniu was silent.

Wang Jiao also stopped talking.

The atmosphere is a little solemn, only the breeze blows, and the locust leaves rattle.

Wang Jiao inexplicably jumped the topic and said slowly: "This place is now used to be called Tianshi Village, but in the Liangzhou Geographical County Chronicle, it is still called Huaimu Village. The ancestors who first migrated here, were the prisoners of the early days of the founding of the Suzaku Dynasty, and were a group of scholars who lost the party battle, this old locust tree, which was planted at that time, was named Ruihuai, and the villagers like to call it the hometown Huai, the meaning of the words is self-evident. I'm sure you've noticed the strangeness of the ancient battlefield outside the village, and you've also seen the ancient sword hanging under the arch bridge. As you might guess, it was my desire to meet you that drew you here with the smoke of the cooking. Of course, don't get me wrong, I came here before you did. You and I met purely by chance. ”

Chen Qingniu asked, "Apart from reminding me, what else do you have to say?"

Wang Jiao raised his head and took a sip of wine, was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "I'm ready to leave Nanzhan Buzhou, so I say goodbye to you." ”

Chen Qingniu frowned.

Wang Jiao smiled a little and asked, "Why did you go against common sense and didn't want to explain to Huang Dong in the end?"

Chen Qingniu said with an angry face: "That mother-in-law is not righteous, she will not save her when she sees death in the Prime Minister's Sect, and she will not feel guilty afterwards, she even came to ask me about the guilt, what do you want me to do? !

Wang Jiao looked at him, smiling but not speaking.

It was Chen Qingniu who was the first to lose, and said with white eyes: "I know that I can deceive her, but I can't deceive you." Now that you've cleared the door, why are you asking me what I'm doing?"

Wang Jiao said with a smile: "The battle of the Prime Minister Sect probably hit your weakness, you were really annoyed and resentful at the time, this is true, so you said angry words." But after that, you and I both know that with Huang Donglai's temperament, since she is willing to take the initiative to find you, it is her unique way of obeying softness and admitting mistakes, you really can't ask for more, right? In this case, why don't you want to get off the donkey down the slope, it's a big deal to visit your hometown Liangzhou together, and go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and you can not practice as a soldier?

Chen Qingniu raised his hands, "Okay, okay, don't expose my old bottom again, let's let it go with the wind, okay?"

The corners of Xie Shiji's mouth, which had not sat down, were hooked, but Chen Qingniu turned her head and glared at her fiercely, she immediately restrained her smile and straightened her face.

Wang Jiao said with emotion: "Your heart can't go far on the Avenue of Eternal Life. ”

Chen Qingniu replied hesitantly, "I don't have that much ambition." ”

Just like this risk, in addition to the temptation, in fact, the real reason is very simple, Xie Shiji eats a lot, although she doesn't pay attention to what she eats, but Chen Qingniu hopes that she can eat well.

Some people's happiness is very simple, but the more this is the case, the more people around them don't care, which is not right in Chen Qingniu's opinion.

Wang Jiao glanced at the burly maid who looked like a door god and nodded, "Yes." ”

She and Xie Shiji are both lotus slaves in name, slaves and maids.

But in those years of the Lotus Palace, Chen Qingniu treated all women as equals and treated each other with courtesy.

The man under the mountain may not understand.

But this is also the reason why Wang Jiao is willing to show up here, otherwise Chen Qingniu's honor and disgrace are dead or alive, what does it matter to her?

The smoke is decreasing, the barking is getting lighter, and the sun is setting, quiet and peaceful.

Wang Jiao suddenly asked, "Do you know why this place is called Heavenly Master Village?"

Chen Qingniu replied casually: "There was a Taoist real person from the ancestor here?"

Wang Jiao shook his head, "Tell you a story?"

Chen Qingniu said with a smile: "If the immortal Wang Daqi is willing to say, I will listen." ”

Wang Jiao smiled, turned his head to look at the old locust tree with a thick trunk, and was stunned.

In the village, this old locust tree has always been regarded as a very spiritual existence, and for hundreds of years, the villagers have relied on it for their livelihood in times of war and famine. Year after year, dead branches break and fall, but the locust branches never hurt anyone.

The ancestors of the villagers, the grandfathers of the grandfathers, must have enjoyed the cool here in the summer, telling the old stories of the deceased for generations of descendants.

At this time, Wang Jiao's eyes were in a trance, as if there was something worth missing there.

Chen Qingniu suddenly realized something.

What can make Wang Jiao can't let go and can't get over it is not those majestic mountains and mountains, not some Longtan tiger's den, but only one person.

Wang Jiao stood up, approached the old green locust tree, raised his head, and told the story.

"The Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain often go down the mountain to travel all over the world, and in the market, they are all respectfully called the Heavenly Master, and the common people are from the bottom of their hearts, and they have a good reputation. ”

"And those heavenly masters are also worthy of this honorific title, within a continent, the footprints are all over, whether they are wearing yellow and purple clothes, or wearing ordinary Taoist robes, they are noble and noble, do not exceed the rules and precepts of Longhu Mountain, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the money collected, whether it is a dignitary or a common person, as long as the other party does what he can, and sets up an altar, there is never any ambiguity. Every year, there will be a celestial master who goes down the mountain to catch demons, and he dies for this, and the Taoism dissipates. ”

"There was once a young man with amazing talent, the real descendant of the Zhang family of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, who traveled down the mountain for an unknown number of millions of miles, but in the end, only for the thirty copper coins promised by a poor family, he personally ventured into danger, and at the last moment, even if he knew that the situation was not right, he still chose to die with the deeply hidden demon giant. ”

"Thirty copper coins, the young real man did not receive it until he died. ”

"I'm afraid that as long as this person's life can be exchanged, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will be willing to take out a cave in Longhu Mountain in exchange for it! After a large number of real people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion arrived all the way, together with the culprit's family, the people of the entire village spontaneously knelt on the ground, just waiting for the thunderous anger of those old immortals to be killed. Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, the Heavenly Master's Mansion said kind words and comforted the family, and only collected the thirty copper coins. ”

After that day, every household in the village set up a tablet of the Heavenly Master on the incense table, with the name of the real person written on it. ”

"For hundreds of years, the incense has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

Chen Qingniu sighed: "That young real person died here, and his death, that body luck, for countless years, because of the pious villagers to worship incense, in turn has been blessed to the village, which makes the children here, before the boy is nine years old, the girl is six years old, often born with a sense of aura, better than the children in other places." It's just that most of this subtle root and bone favor has disappeared with the passage of time, and after adulthood, it is still unnoticed.

But no matter what, the real person of Longhu Mountain back then really deserves the title of 'real person'. ”

Wang Jiao shook the flask gently, "At that time, I traveled with him all over the world, here, I watched him hang his male and female swords under the arched bridge, and I saw with my own eyes that after he learned the details of the devil, he still resolutely and generously died. ”

Chen Qingniu secretly pursed his lips.

Wang Jiao turned his head and smiled: "Don't believe it, there are really such upright and pedantic people in the world. ”

Chen Qingniu said stupidly: "I can't do anything with death." ”

Wang Jiao's eyes played with taste: "Who knows what will happen in the future." ”

Chen Qingniu laughed angrily: "Don't curse me!"

Wang Jiao returned to his chair and continued: "You must know that some ridge dragon veins and rivers and streams belong to the spiritual objects of the world. Especially the python's road to the sea and the dragon, and then as he expected, there was a mountain Jiao trying to enter the river along the stream, and then into the sea to turn the dragon, where it passed, because the Jiao needed to accumulate momentum, resulting in a flash flood, before the beast passed through the village, where would put the sword in his eyes, never thought about crossing the bridge, he suffered enough, and on his back, he was drawn out of a blood groove that could be seen deep in the bones and bones by the rune sword, so that after it entered the river, it had to temporarily stay in a lake to recuperate, almost cutting off the possibility of turning into a dragon......"

Chen Qingniu was shocked: "Is it the female Jiao of Shanghu who was killed?!"

Wang Jiao smiled and said, "You guess?"

Chen Qingniu's face turned slightly pale, and he said in a deep voice: "That young man just arranged a talisman sword, and he endowed it with such a great supernatural power, so what kind of terrifying cultivation is the demon he did not hesitate to suppress at the cost of changing his life?"

Wang Jiao narrowed his eyes, obviously very proud, but deliberately said in an indifferent tone: "Flying Ascension Realm." ”

Chen Qingniu stood up suddenly, jumped up, came to the high branch of the old acacia, and looked at the area where a Zhuolu boundary monument was erected, with a solemn expression.

Wang Jiao quipped: "Okay, rest assured, that demon has been completely suppressed and subdued, you are really a vegetarian when you are the old heavenly master of Longhu Mountain?"

Chen Qingniu fell to the ground in a daze, a little embarrassed, "That's good." ”

Wang Jiao's expression was dark and uncertain, "One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, one side of the world also has the number of heaven and earth, and there will be a certain number of qi numbers." For example, this Xiliang, whether it is the power of incense and the power of the incense, or the number of mountains and rivers, at most one person can support the Tao. Originally, it was the devil who wanted to swallow mountains and rivers here and soar into an immortal ...... in one fell swoop."

She was only halfway there.

Chen Qingniu's mind turned sharply, after Wang Jiao, the tenth immortal, leaked the heavenly secret, in this way, many things made sense, the devil lost this opportunity, Shanghu Mujiao took his place, and Lu Fazhen of the vassal king's mansion killed him, hoping to take it for himself. But the problem is that Chen Qingniu doesn't think that Lu Fazhen can succeed, this is a mysterious intuition, and he always feels that although Lu Fazhen already belongs to the people who have attained the Dao, he is always a little bit less meaningful.

A line apart is often a world of difference.

Wang Jiao said with a smile: "After you have a meal, I will leave Nanzhan Buzhou." Chen Qingniu, you can do it yourself, at least don't die in front of me. ”

Chen Qingniu glared and said, "It's a friend, can you say something good when you leave!"

Wang Jiao laughed and said, "Then I wish you to be invincible in the world and live forever!"

Chen Qingniu laughed and said happily: "Borrow your auspicious words!"

The dinner was in a villager's house, and I respected this private school gentleman, three generations of eight people, and they all respected him very much.

In the twilight, after walking to the arch bridge together, Wang Jiao suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Qingniu, his eyes were profound, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said softly: "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, before leaving, I will give you something, once it is sacrificed, it can suppress all the monks under the Ascension Realm, it is a Zhenshan magic urn of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, which is powerful enough to destroy the mountains and the sea! It's just that if it is not a matter of life and death, you don't have to use it easily, because there is only one chance." Remember, remember. ”

Chen Qingniu was radiant, "I knew that Wang Wuti was a kind person!"

Wang Jiao motioned for Chen Qingniu to stretch out her hand, and then she also stretched out her hand, her face was full of solemnity, only to see that her palm suddenly bloomed with bright light, slowly sticking to Chen Qingniu's outstretched palm, at the same time, the two eyes met, everything was silent.

Chen Qingniu put away his palms and said with a hippie smile: "Wang Qixian, otherwise you will also give me that wine gourd?"

Wang Jiao ignored his inch, and just reminded in a low voice: "Fan Xuanyu, Lotus Peak, Guanyin Seat, you have to be careful of all three." ”

Chen Qingniu restrained his smile and nodded, "I will." ”

Wang Jiao turned around and limped to the end of the arch bridge, Chen Qingniu looked at her back and suddenly shouted, "Wang Jiao!"

She turned her head, a little confused.

Chen Qingniu said with a smile: "Otherwise, don't go to Longhu Mountain, you can mix with me, so you can be full of wine and meat, and you don't have to sleep in the open." ”

Wang Jiao smiled and looked deeply at the young Lotus Peak Keqing, "Cherish." ”

Chen Qingniu still didn't give up, "Wang Jiao, you are already weak in your legs and feet, and you are running so far, aren't you tired?"

Wang Jiao had already turned around, raised his arm, and stretched out a middle finger.

Chen Qingniu muttered helplessly: "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you deserve to be unable to find a lover for nine lifetimes." ”

Wang Jiao's footsteps paused, and the long sword hanging from his waist showed signs of being unsheathed.

Chen Qingniu immediately shut up.

Then her sword rose like a rainbow, and both the man and the sword disappeared in a flash.

After seeing this martial artist, from beginning to end, the painted puppet that had been jumping happily never showed up.

When Xie Shiji brought back the horse, the puppet sneakily drilled out of the cuffs, climbed all the way along the arm, and finally sat on Chen Qingniu's shoulder, and exclaimed: "What a powerful little mother-in-law." ”

Chen Qingniu smiled: "This is a genuine immortal, otherwise do you think?"

The painted puppet poured cold water and said: "People are obviously looking for their beloved man, obviously they look down on you, you have been blind for so many years, and the bamboo basket is empty, what are you proud of? I am ashamed of you!"

Chen Qingniu rubbed his chin, "If you say so, I seem to be a little embarrassed." ”

Syllable!

The puppet sitting on his shoulder was flicked off by a finger.

On the ground more than a dozen feet away, the painted puppets covered in dust got up, and while running back, they opened their teeth and claws and jumped to their feet and scolded, "Chen Qingniu! You will only be angry with me, right?

Chen Qingniu got into the carriage, but did not enter the carriage, and sat behind Xie Shiji.

The cursing painted puppet jumped into the carriage and sat cross-legged, his hands flapping his body vigorously, splashing clouds of dust around it.

It glared at Chen Qingniu viciously, but it was a pity that the latter didn't pay attention to it at all.

It sighed, continued to bow its head and carefully wipe the dirt, and after a long time, it looked up with a smile and asked, "The surname Chen, do you want to know where the woman lied? Don't forget, I was also a woman when I was alive, and I was born with a keen insight into women lying." Besides, the woman wasn't really good at lying, so I saw through it at a glance...... Two eyes at most!"

Chen Qingniu said flatly: "Shut up." ”

It still didn't want to die, "I really don't want to know?"

Chen Qingniu held his cheeks with one hand, "I don't want to." ”

It shook its head, "One is dragging mud and water more than the other, not refreshing, not happy!"

Chen Qingniu smiled: "How good are you, you have survived for five hundred years." ”

It was anxious again, "Don't hit people in the face, scold people don't expose their shortcomings! The surname Chen, do you know the rules?!"

Chen Qingniu smiled, "I understand the rules in the world, but they are just small rules at the bottom." ”

At this time, he missed his childhood playmate Liu Qi a little, and he didn't know how this guy mixed up in the Vermilion Bird Palace, the most well-behaved place in the world.
