Tang Jiu secretly looked at the mountain god. The Loli mountain god felt the surprise in his eyes, turned his face to the other side without leaving any trace, and at the same time transmitted a message to him:

"What are you looking at? If I look at you again, I'll beat you."

Humph, shouldn’t people be allowed to have some dreams?

The mountain god's voice sounded in Tang Jiu's mind. Hearing this tone, she must have become angry. Tang Jiu quickly comforted her:

"It's nothing. You will definitely become like that in a few years. Don't be discouraged."

These words were like stepping on a cat's tail. The little loli exploded on the spot and stepped on Tang Jiu's toes while others were not paying attention.

"Go away! Who cares?"

Haha, I have slept for thousands of years, and if I wake up, I will still be like this. It will be useless in a few years!

The fingers are connected to the heart, and the toes are also connected to the heart. When you step on it, it will hurt so much.

"Ahhh!"

Tang Jiu screamed and jumped up holding his feet.

"My feet!"

The screams alerted other people, and everyone looked over. Some people asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Did you hit something?"

"No, it's nothing. I knocked a little bit just now. It's not a big deal. Look, it's nothing."

After saying that, Tang Jiu laughed and took two steps on the ground, enduring the pain as if nothing was wrong.

Seeing Tang Jiu in such pain, Loli Shanshen felt much better.

You deserve it for messing with me.

Compared with many mountain temples, the mountain temple in Qianqiu Mountain is quite large. There is an apse behind the front hall, and there is a large sycamore tree in the middle yard.

This tree is alive and well under the careful care of the villagers of Qianqiu Village. It is lush and green. After the temple builders cleaned up the front and back halls, they also carefully loosened the soil and fertilized the sycamore tree.

Water.

"Look at this phoenix tree. According to legend, there is a divine bird called the phoenix. It is said that this tree once attracted the phoenix to descend. Ever since our ancestors built the temple, this phoenix tree has been planted here. There are probably tens of thousands of people growing up here today.

years."

An uncle introduced this tree to Tangjiu and the others, his tone full of pride. There may not be a few ancient trees in the world, but this is one of them.

Tang Jiu and Loli Shanshen pretended to be amazed in their outfits, which greatly benefited the uncle.

But in fact, the two of them were extremely calm. One was the tree spirit of Wutong. How could she lament that she had lived so long? The other, Tang Jiu, had seen even more incredible trees.

The tree in Yunyou courtyard is the real sacred tree.

Taking care of the tree is the last task of the temple builders. After watering it, they can go home.

At this time, the uncle who had been weeding asked the two children:

"You two kids, come with us. By the way, I still don't know what your names are?"

"My name is Tang Jiu."

"My name is Qingqiu."

"Oh oh oh, okay, my surname is Meng. You can just call me Uncle Meng. When you get to the village, you can stay at my house."

"Okay, Uncle Meng."

Since Uncle Meng sincerely invited me, why not go and repay him when I have the opportunity in the future.

At this time, the two girls who were cleaning the statues came over and asked:

"Little brothers and sisters, how do you clean such a tall statue?"

The two girls were very curious, but when they saw Tang Jiu tilt his head, he said innocently:

"We didn't clean the stone statue. It was so clean from the beginning."

The two girls were stunned in place...

Tang Jiu and Qing Qiu left Qianqiu Mountain with Uncle Meng and the others. The direction of Qianqiu Village was just opposite to the direction Tang Jiu came from, so Tang Jiu had not encountered this village before.

Qingqiu has never left Qianqiu Mountain. The tree in her body has not yet been able to transform. She can only condense her consciousness into a human form and become her incarnation. And her incarnation has never left Qianqiu Mountain because she wants to protect it.

Pass.

It's strange to say that it only takes hundreds of years for ordinary flowers, plants and trees to become spirits, but her sycamore tree has been unable to transform into spirits for thousands of years.

Sometimes she also wonders: Could it be that a phoenix really lived here? Otherwise, why would she be so special?

It's a pity that there is no way to verify these. I have never seen a phoenix or something.

Qianqiu Village is at the foot of Qianqiu Mountain, not too far from the sycamore tree in the mountain temple. Qingqiu cannot leave her body too far, so Qianqiu Village happens to be within her range of activities.

If it were further away, she wouldn't be able to get through.

It was getting late, so Uncle Meng and the others went to the village chief to explain their tasks. By the way, they also talked about Tang Jiu and Qingqiu. The village chief was kind-hearted and allowed them to live in the village.

There seems to be something slightly wrong with the village chief today, as if he has something on his mind.

"Village Chief, nothing happened today, right?"

Everyone looked at the village chief with puzzled faces, wanting to know what the village chief was thinking.

But the village chief didn't want to say anything to them. He looked up at them and said angrily:

"It's none of your business. If you have nothing else to do, get out of here and don't be an eyesore to me."

He waved his hand impatiently twice and began to "see off the guests". When Uncle Meng and the others saw that the village chief was angry, they could only leave in despair, but they were also sure that something must have happened to the village chief, and it was definitely not a good thing.

.

Uncle Meng's family has a wife, no elderly people to support, and no children, so he lives a relatively prosperous life.

Uncle Meng had a daughter before, but she died at a young age. This made Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng like children very much, so they welcomed Tang Jiu and Qingqiu, especially Qingqiu. The arrival of the little girl made Aunt Meng miss her.

After they all went to bed at night, my deceased daughter secretly cried in her room all night.

From then on, Aunt Meng treated Qingqiu like her own daughter, taking care of her so meticulously that Qingqiu even felt a little embarrassed.

Many days have passed, and no one has figured out what exactly happened at the village chief's place. Some people just said that some time ago, a county official came to see the village chief, but he didn't see clearly. He just said that he was looking for the village chief.

The man's clothes looked like they were worn by officials, but he didn't know if they were.

The village chief was unwilling to talk about this matter, so the matter was left undisturbed.

But a few days later, the person who came to the village chief came again. As expected, the person was an official. This time he brought many officers and soldiers with him, looking like he wanted to cause trouble.

The villagers looked from a distance and saw that this group of people had surrounded the village chief's house, as if they wanted to ransack the house to prevent anyone from escaping.

"Bah, what kind of official? They are obviously a group of local ruffians."

"Oh, please stop talking and don't attract them."

Some of the villagers who were watching from a distance could not help but secretly curse. Their official of Dayu was not a bad wolf. The imperial examination of Dayu was controlled by the court, and those who could pass the examination depended on their background. Dayu had already

There aren't many scholars left, and even if there were, they wouldn't take part in the imperial examination.

Not only was the court filled with this group of well-connected households, but even the magistrates of the counties in Dayu, even the county magistrates, county lieutenants, and the policemen below were all appointed through connections. In addition to being arrogant and domineering, they also

Does nothing.

"It's weird, why do these guys who can't afford to get up late target the village chief's family? The village chief's family must be very poor."
