You old woman with a yellowish face, if you were lucky at that time, you might have become a land fairy, and you would still be attracted to a mortal woman with withered colors?"

Shao Yuanran smiled and said, "We'll talk about it then."

Shao Yuanran was silent for a moment, then the wind whistled in his ears, and he asked: "Master, what is the reason for our sudden visit to Biyou Mansion? Is it related to the Feijian message from the capital received yesterday?"

Yin Miaofeng smiled calmly and said: "It's not a small matter anyway."

Shao Yuanran smiled helplessly. Since the master did not want to say more, he could only suppress his curiosity.

Biyou Mansion is the residence of the buried river god, similar to the Jinhuang Mansion where the third prince escorted prisoners.

It's just that Jin Huang's mansion has lost its owner, and now it's mostly filled with mountain spirits and ghosts.

After this battle, the fortunes of the Northern Jin Dynasty were seriously damaged. Jinhuangshan Shenfu Lord will soon be escorted to Mirage City. The Songzhen Lake Water Temple, which has been in tit-for-tat for hundreds of years, collapsed even earlier. The Water God

The remnants of the temple were only a few soldiers and generals, and they were insignificant. The Northern Jin Dynasty was lucky if they could not disturb the place.

However, Shao Yuanran burst into laughter when he remembered something. The lady of the mountain god who had just been married into the house by Lord Jinhuang and became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. This woman was really unlucky. She thought that a husband and wife could love each other for hundreds of years, which was far better than the world.

The man and woman in love never imagined that this would end like this, but they just didn't know how Mirage City would deal with her.

But these nonsense and trivial matters in the world are just interesting things on the path of spiritual practice.

What Shao Yuanran saw in his eyes was the carefree life of the earthly immortals, and what he thought in his heart was immortality, living as long as heaven and earth.

Shao Yuanran's heart was full of pride. There was no one on either side of the river, so he laughed and said: "Master, I'm going to learn how to walk across the river like that giant dragon!"

The young Taoist priest from Jinding Temple floated to the surface of the river and stepped on the water. Every time he stepped on the river, there was a huge splash, but not a drop of water touched his Taoist robe.

Yin Miaofeng was still floating by the river. He glanced at the beautiful appearance of his proud disciple on the river, laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You brat, you will become a land god in the future, how can you do that?!"

————

Chen Ping'an only roughly knew the distance and direction of the Water Temple, but fortunately he only needed to keep an eye on both sides along the river.

According to Yao Zhen and Yao Jinzhi's respective accounts, the temple buried in the river three hundred miles away from the post house was built on an unknown hill by the river. The slope is gentle. The temple fair is held from the first to the fifteenth day of March every year.

There are more than a hundred incense fairs to honor the gods and perform performances, which is very lively. dignitaries from nearby states and counties will give out porridge and tea during the temple fair.

Yao Zhen said with emotion at that time, "For the gods of mountains and rivers, opening a mansion is the first threshold. If you can upgrade your mansion to a palace, then you will truly achieve enlightenment."

It is no different from a fairy family on a certain mountain who obtained that sect name.

Yao Jinzhi highlighted another wonder of the Water Temple. There is a statue of the Goddess of Inspiration enshrined in the side hall. She prays for children and is famous all over the world. Almost every day, women come from afar, mostly from wealthy families, to have children.

If you are in a difficult situation, you can come to this side hall of the Water Temple, kowtow, burn incense, and donate some money. Then you can ask the old woman who prays for a small clay doll with a red thread around its waist and tie it to your wrist. Once you return home, you will have a child.

Go back and repay the vow, but the clay doll you take home cannot be thrown away, but must be enshrined as a way to repay the kindness of the Queen of Inspiration.

But what Chen Ping'an really wanted to see was the more than two hundred large white jade steles erected in front of the Water Temple. Most of them were the burials of the river gods in history after they helped the Liu family of Daquan calm down the drought. The imperial court and literati paid tribute to the buried river gods.

beautiful essay.

In less than two hours, Chen Ping'an, who kept looking around, "drifted" along the water of the buried river and finally arrived at the mountain beside the river.

It was dark at night and the gate of the Water Temple was closed, but Chen Pingan could still see the bright lights over there from a distance. This was why Chen Pingan saw the Water Temple at a glance.

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized what he looked like. Although Pei Qian and Zhu Lian couldn't see it, what if there were Qi practitioners in the middle and fifth realms over there at the Water God Temple? Would they see through it at a glance and regard him as a troublemaker who haunts the night?

demon?

This made Chen Pingan hesitate.

Is it possible that we have to travel three hundred miles by water in vain? Including the way back, it is six hundred miles.

However, after much deliberation, Chen Ping'an, who was floating in the middle of the Buried River, still decided to try to land on the shore. The worst result would be to glance at the water temple gate from a distance, alert the temple priest or the monks here, and be hunted down three times.

Baili had no choice but to ask Yao Zhen, the old general at the post house, to come forward and explain.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Yin Shen Yeyou? Chen Ping'an, aren't you a pure martial artist? Can you still be reasonable?"

Chen Pingan turned around and looked around, dumbfounded.

Thirty steps away, there was a scholar in a green shirt squatting on the river, holding a lot of hair with both hands, as if trying to pull someone out of the river.

It's none other than Zhong Kui.

Chen Ping'an came to Zhong Kui and asked, "What is this?"

Zhong Kui raised his head and said with a smile: "I was fighting for space at the Water Temple just now. I thought that after dawn, I could burn some incense and pray for God's blessing, so that Jiuniang would be more pleasing to me."

Chen Pingan pointed to the hair in Zhong Kui's hand, "I'm talking about this."

Zhong Kui rolled his eyes and said: "What else could it be, the unjust water ghost buried in the river? It should have been attracted by your Yin Shen. If it eats you, your cultivation level will skyrocket. I saw it poking its head, and its face turned out to be...

It's not as ugly as ordinary water ghosts, but rather watery and handsome. I just want to discuss it with this female ghost and come out to chat with me."

Because Zhong Kui was not the yin god and yang god who traveled far away from his body that night, with his majestic energy flowing out wantonly. Tonight, he was like an inn, deliberately concealing his energy. Therefore, the water ghosts at the bottom of the river did not sink their heads like that night.

He trembled when he entered the deepest part of the water. Otherwise, even if Zhong Kui only got close to the Water Temple, the ghost buried in the river would probably be gone.

Zhong Kui's two sleeves contain the chilling autumn wind, but it doesn't matter whether you are a water ghost who died unjustly or an evil ghost who suffered retribution.

Chen Ping'an looked at the female ghost Qingsi in Zhong Kui's hand, and then looked at Zhong Kui who was tug of war with the female ghost.

Chen Pingan asked: "Is it fun?"

Zhong Kui nodded.

Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at the water temple in the distance.

Zhong Kui let go of his hair, and the shadows under the river disappeared in a flash, as if he had received an amnesty.

Zhong Kui stood up, put his hand on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You'll know if it's fun or not if you look carefully."

The two suddenly fell into the river.

The Yin God travels at night and sees everything in the world as bright as day.

Even in the river, at a glance, his vision is still unobstructed, and his eyesight is on par with Chen Ping'an's true body's martial arts cultivation.

Chen Ping'an had seen many ghosts and ghosts, but this was the first time he felt...disgusting.

Not far away is the water temple and the people with lights.

But that's it. Under the river water, around Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui, there were densely packed water ghosts "standing". They were motionless. Most of them were wearing snow-white clothes, with their dark hair covering their faces, falling straight to the ground.

Around her waist, she looks like a reserved lady going out to the streets, wearing a power hat commonly known as a virgin hat.

Not only that, Chen Pingan looked down and saw a pair of silver-white eyes as big as lanterns, extremely cold, staring at the two of them but unable to see clearly its body.

There is at least a mile between the two sides, but those eyes are still so huge. You can imagine how huge this thing is if you look at it up close.

Zhong Kui smiled and said: "It and the water ghosts were all attracted to you, but they didn't dare to speak. Once you come here, although the Yin God is just a prototype, it is still a little unusual, so they don't dare to act rashly.

, just because they are greedy, they keep gathering together. Moreover, they have evil intentions, hoping that you can alarm the monster at the bottom of the river and fight so that they can get a share of the pie. As a result, you happened to stop at the Water Temple, and you

Don't move any more, the monster down there is probably going to explode with rage, and he doesn't dare to act rashly. After all, the Biyou Mansion where the River Goddess is buried is not that far from here."

They come, the security.

Chen Pingan looked around as if he was admiring the scenery.

Zhong Kui was also looking around and shouted: "That pretty water ghost girl just now, are you still there? If you don't want to continue being this water ghost, I can slap you to death. As for whether I can

I can't guarantee reincarnation, but it won't be difficult to help you escape from the shackles of that monster at the bottom of the river and no longer have to help it do evil and harm others."

The pair of lanterns became slightly larger.

Chen Ping'an subconsciously squinted his eyes.

It's like when I was fishing for eels on the edge of a field when I was a kid, I happened to see one, and its head and body slowly swam out.

This monster buried in the river, according to a rough estimate, is actually bigger than the two black and white snakes and pythons in Qidun Mountain.

Chen Pingan asked: "Does the god who buried the river water ignore it?"

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "No matter what? No matter what, the reason why this grumpy Water Goddess doesn't like to show up is that she has tried to kill this demon again and again. She has injured the foundation of the golden body three times, almost every thirty or forty years.

, I have to teach this monster a lesson. In a hundred years, there will even be a real life-and-death fight. The worst one, the golden body of the Water Temple was cracked, and most of Biyou Mansion was submerged."

Chen Ping'an was even more surprised, "The imperial court doesn't try its best to encircle and suppress it? If the Daquan imperial court can't do it, your academy won't care?"

Zhong Kui held the back of his head with both hands, "The world is not simple. This water monster can survive to this day not only because of its Taoism, but also because of its brains. Besides, the middle part of Tongye Continent is so big, and Dafu Academy is so big."

There are even fewer people who can kill this monster. Scholars in the academy should cultivate their moral integrity, study and learn every day. They are very busy and strive to be a sage, a gentleman, a saint, and be able to do what they did in the Middle-earth Divine Continent.

There is a statue of a great sage in the Confucian Temple. Besides studying, he has many things to do. Besides, there is a gentleman waiting for him in the Daquan Dynasty."

Chen Pingan nodded, understanding in his heart.

During the trip to Ouhua Blessed Land, I had a panoramic view of all kinds of things in the world.

All Zhong Kui had to say was that there had been a gentleman from the academy who had been in charge of the Daquan Dynasty for a long time, and Chen Ping'an would have revealed that there was also a sectarian dispute in the academy.

But Zhong Kui then opened Chen Ping'an's eyes, pointing to the pair of lanterns at the bottom of the river and said: "Try glaring at me again? Believe it or not, I will skin you and cramp you, and send it to the buried river god as a gift?"

The water monster slowly retreated.

The water ghosts then dispersed.

Chen Pingan asked: "Congratulations?"

Zhong Kui nodded and said: "The reason why I came here is that I got the news that Mihe Biyou Mansion will be upgraded to Biyou Palace in an exception. Daquan Liu's decision has been approved by our academy. In fact, the Daquan Dynasty originally did not have the qualifications to grant the title."
