Chapter 206 Longevity Palace
ps: A chapter at noon, please support the monthly ticket, thank you everyone. ◎,
"Who?"
When Qi Xiang heard the doorbell, she frowned slightly, and she looked a little confused. At that moment, he turned off the computer and walked out to open the door. As soon as the door opened, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.
“Huh?”
At first glance, Qi Xiang was shocked and then smiled: "Lychee, why are you here?"
Lizhi stood quietly outside, with a somewhat shy expression and said softly: "I saw you here, and I came here."
"Come on, you stay in this hotel too?"
Qi Xiang laughed and wanted to invite someone to come to the room to discuss, but after a change of thought, he walked outside, closed the door, and said gently: "Lychee, it's almost noon. Let's go down, I'll invite you...to continue to drink the soup."
"No..." Lizhi shook her head and said shyly: "I want to eat meat."
"Uh?" Qi Xiang was stunned and nodded: "No problem."
Qi Xiang smiled, but she didn't think that lychees were a little girl who could be abducted. He vaguely felt that lychees should have come for something.
He thought in his heart that Qi Xiang was not slow, so he took her to the restaurant downstairs.
"Come on, this time, you order your own dishes."
Qi Xiang smiled and handed over the menu, observing with interest. When he noticed his gaze, Lizhi lowered her head shyly, and her slender little hands clicked on the menu, and quickly shrank back.
"Fish-flavored shredded pork?" Qi Xiang saw it and suddenly realized: "I understand..."
"Brother, come here."
Qi Xiang greeted the waiter and asked, "Do you have any masters who know how to cook Sichuan cuisine here?"
“…yes, yes.”
The waiter nodded immediately. It was a five-star hotel at least, and the chef's skills were definitely not bad. Proficient in the cooking of eight major cuisines, and it was definitely no problem to just Sichuan cuisine.
"Then let's have a table of his best Sichuan cuisine!" Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "It's more authentic. There are authentic Sichuan girls here. If it's not delicious, I will pay as much as possible, but I will pour the dishes in public."
"I understand, understand."
The waiter glanced at him and his heart was immediately awe-inspiring. I guess he regarded Qi Xiang as a rich second-generation chasing a girl. If he was dissatisfied with him, such a playboy might not be able to do it.
After serving a cup of tea for the two of them, the waiter hurriedly went down. He went to the kitchen as soon as possible and warned the master to show his real skills and never slacken easily.
At this time, Qi Xiang took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Lychee, yesterday... the soup shop was on the roof, why did you suddenly disappear? Where did you go?"
Qi Xiang just asked casually and didn't expect to get a reply.
Unexpectedly, Lizhi actually said it, its voice was soft and slow. It was very clear: "Someone ran out of the manhole cover underground, and grandma asked me to chase after me, so I went."
"Hmm?" Qi Xiang was full of thoughts. She was shocked and surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you chasing?"
"It seems like I'm stealing something." Lizhi whispered: "Two people fought underground, one ran away in the tunnel. The other person crawled out of the manhole cover. Grandma, I'll chase the person who crawled out..."
"Are you catching up with him?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised.
"No, I ran away for him." Lizhi had a little regret in her eyes and was very embarrassed: "I was about to catch him, and he suddenly sprayed a mouthful of blood, and then the speed was several times faster, and I couldn't keep up..."
"Oh, it's okay." Qi Xiang blinked and comforted: "I will definitely catch him next time I meet him."
Lizhi nodded slightly, and suddenly stretched out her little hand, and a copper coin appeared on the table.
"What is this?" Qi Xiang's eyes turned and he also condensed. Because he vaguely noticed an unusual obscure atmosphere on his copper coins.
"It fell off that person." Lizhi explained: "Grandma said, I can't deal with him alone, and I want to find someone to cooperate, so... I'll come to you."
"Cooperation?" Qi Xiang was surprised and thought about it, and then she smiled and said, "We cooperate... It's okay. But... what about your grandma, why didn't you see her?"
Lizhi seemed to have received some advice, and he immediately pursed his lips and said something about this problem.
Qi Xiang didn't ask much, and his attention was turned to the copper coins on the desktop.
At first glance, copper coins are very ancient and dark in color, and they feel like they have experienced many years of vicissitudes. On the money, there are some strange thread marks, which seem to form a text.
However, the text is strange and different from commonly used fonts. At least Qi Xiang can be sure that the words on the copper coins are not simplified traditional Chinese, nor are they seal scripts, but some kind of symbol-like symbols.
After observing for a while, Qi Xiang picked up the copper coin and looked at the other side of the copper coin. This side was slim and had no words or symbols.
In other words, if you want to explore the origin of copper coins, you can only start from the front.
Qi Xiang thought about it for a moment, then shook her head gently and said frankly: "Lizhi, I am ignorant and have a shallow understanding. I can't recognize what this is. Do you know?"
"I don't understand..." Lizhi shook her head and said in a soft voice: "But grandma said that this should be a token of a disciple of a secret sect."
"Secret Sect?" Qi Xiang thought something, pinched the copper coins, and focused on looking at them again.
Qi Xiang gently stroked the copper coins with her fingers, and she was full of thoughts: "The two people fought in the tunnel. Is this because of uneven distribution of spoils? Or is it that someone wants to be a bad guy and intercept the road halfway?"
"I thought it was a person from the Ten Directions, but it seemed that he was not..."
Without enough information, Qi Xiang had many speculations, and felt that she was not good enough, she was confused and had a big head.
At the same time, the waiter brought people to serve the dishes. Seven or eight dishes were all famous Sichuan cuisine, and they were also the chef's specialty. Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, couple lung slices, and re-cooked pork...
A plate of delicious dishes, steaming hot and spicy.
Qi Xiang glanced at him and the most impressive thing was the green and red peppers that almost filled the plate. As soon as the dish was served, a stream of spicy air came to his nose, which was fragrant and choking.
The smell made him salivate and he was worried.
"Two guests, please use..." The waiter was understanding and took two big-bellied goblets, poured a glass of boiled water for each of them. Then he stepped back.
"I can eat spicy food even if I underestimate people..."
Qi Xiang glanced at him and saw the boiled water in the cup rippling slightly, round after round, as if it was rippling. At this moment, his heart moved and his fingertips bounced.
"Pop!"
In an instant, the copper coins in his hand rolled in the air, hooking up a perfect parabola and then sank into the cup silently. The copper coins entered the water, causing a small splash of water.
Lizhi's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, revealing a bit of curiosity.
At this moment, the boiled water in the cup slowly calmed down, but the copper coins in the water changed slightly. Under the projection of the light, the strange symbols on the surface of the copper coins actually twisted in the water to form a seal character.
"life……"
Qi Xiang glanced at it. There was a happier look on her face, but more of it was confused: "What does it mean?"
"Wanshou Palace!"
Lizhi suddenly exclaimed lightly, and her clear eyes seemed to have a layer of fog, hazy. The sound was erratic: "It must be Wanshou Palace, no doubt. I didn't expect... Under the great disaster, Wanshou Palace has not yet been destroyed..."
Qi Xiang felt something was wrong and couldn't help but shout: "Lychee?"
“……Eh?”
Lizhi's eyes flashed. Her eyes were clear and clear, but she was panicked, as if she was hiding something.
Qi Xiang was silent for a while. Then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "The Wanshou Palace you mentioned is the so-called secret sect?"
"This..." Lizhi lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her little hands, and whispered: "Actually, I don't know very well, I have to ask my grandma to find out."
"It's okay, Wanshou Palace... I seem to have heard of it somewhere." Qi Xiang thought about it, took out her cell phone and said, "I'll check it."
After checking, the results were soon obtained.
Of course, it was just an open result. Anyway, after reading the information I got searched, Qi Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "This Wanshou Palace seems to be a bit...unpredictable."
Wanshou Palace, also known as Jingyang Temple, is thousands of them spread all over the country. It has the function of a fellow townspeople's guild hall and is also a place to pray for gods. In the palace temple, the gods worshipped is the blessing master Xu Zhenjun.
Xu Zhenjun is Xu Tianshi, one of the four famous Taoist masters. He was born in the Jin Dynasty and his real name was Xu Xun. In the first year of Taikang, he was appointed as the filial and honest official and served as the ruling of Jingyang. He was called Xu Jingyang.
Xu Xun was in Jingyang for ten years and was honest in his official position and had outstanding political achievements. However, given the chaos in the Jin Dynasty, he knew that national affairs could not be done, so he returned to the east. In order to commemorate him, local people built shrines and sacrificed them all year round.
These living temples are the origin of the Jingyang temple.
In the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhenzong of Song believed in Taoism and admired the achievements of Xu Tianshi, so he changed the Jingyang Temple to Wanshou Palace. For a moment, Xu Zhenjun's beliefs became more and more profound among the people, and the incense continued to spread.
During the Qingming Festival, merchants from all over the country had the habit of building guild halls when they went out to do business. However, merchants in Jiangxi were a bit special. The guild hall they built was Wanshou Palace.
It can be said that wherever the footsteps of Jiangxi merchants go, there will be Wanshou Palace.
It was from that time that Wanshou Palace had taken root in various places, and in modern times, there were still traces of Wanshou Palace in various parts of the country.
"Can this Wanshou Palace be one of the hidden sects in the world of cultivation?" Qi Xiang thought seriously and felt that the possibility was not very great.
After all, from ancient times to the present, besides the inheritance of blood and master-disciple, faith is often the easiest to gather people's hearts. Therefore, some ambitious people often use religious organizations to win over the people's hearts and rebel.
Wanshou Palace does not seem to have any bad deeds in this regard, but it is not the only one who knows the face.
Qi Xiang didn't mind speculating on anyone with the most sinister intentions. You should know that Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang had not usurped the times. Some things were not something that he didn't want to do, but he didn't have the chance to do.
All right……
This is a bit conspiracy theory. Qi Xiang shook her head and tried to analyze the matter with a fair attitude.
