It's a simple thing to do in the countryside, and the food you eat is very simple.
Although I had no appetite, seeing that dusk was falling and night was approaching, I ate about 70% of the food and drank a bottle of energy drink to replenish my energy.
While eating, Li Jingzhe drove over on a broken motorcycle. He was in Peppa Pig's hide-and-seek group and learned about the murder of Master Huiqing.
After Li Jingzhe paid one hundred pieces of silk gold to Uncle Lu, he took a large bowl of rice to a table where many guests were walking around but there were many dishes and he started eating as if no one was around.
He has an unusually good appetite and doesn't mind leftovers, as long as the portion is large enough for him.
I suspect one hundred dollars is not enough for this guy to eat a meal.
Fortunately, the people who come to Ziyang Temple are all good men and women who don't want to take away the food for cheap, so there are still a lot of leftovers.
Aunt Lu and Master Qingxiao also came later, but they only paid for the silk gold and offered incense before going back. Now the Luo family does not call for a truce, and no one dares to relax.
When the night sky fills the sky, people who come to eat are basically gone.
There were still some Taoist friends from Master Huiqing who came, and even representatives of the Luo family came and brought a large bag of money.
"Luo Guoan of the Luo family, on behalf of the Luo family's investment, has presented two hundred thousand silk gold. My elder brother asked me to pass on a message that this matter has nothing to do with our Luo family's investment. Please forgive me and accept the change."
It was Luo Guoan, the Luo family, and several company representatives who came.
I stood up with a gloomy face, ready to refute a few words.
Uncle Lu stretched out his hand to ask me to calm down, and said calmly: "If you don't mind the simple dishes in the mountain village, let's have a simple meal."
"No need." Luo Guoan said and drove away in a hurry with the representatives.
"Uncle Lu, the Luo family..."
"Since they came to offer silk and gold, they just don't want to form a deadly feud with the Nandao League. Although Ziyang Temple is small among the Nandao League, it is really the Luo family's work. Within three days, the Nandao League will come out in full force.
, But it’s impossible for them to completely remove this matter. I won’t let them get away with colluding with Zhao Tu’s Gao Pingdao." Uncle Lu said calmly.
"I will not refuse anything Uncle Lu wants from me. The Luo family not only colluded with Zhao Tu, but also took grandma's things and sold them to Gao Pingdao." I looked at Master Huiqing's coffin, and my anger had nowhere to go.
vent.
"Chen Chu, calm down your emotions and don't get carried away by your anger. You will have to face the Fusang people later. That is no joke. Once you lose the fight, there will be no future." Uncle Lu frowned.
said.
I glanced at Xu Beicang opposite me, and I knew in my heart the importance of this battle.
"I checked the opponent's fighting skills information for you. It said that he was good at using shikigami. He was good at using ancient warriors. When he was young, he traveled to the Fuso Islands and searched for shikigami. If you don't have a way to deal with it, just tell me and I will
I'll buy you some time to leave here." Uncle Lu was also afraid that I wasn't sure.
"I have a way to deal with his shikigami. It's just grandma's thing. I need to ask them if they have taken it." I said.
"Shall I take you over to have a chat with them?" Uncle Lu stood up after saying that, and then took me to sit in front of Xu Beicang.
"Before the fight, my nephew wants to say a few words to you." Uncle Lu said.
"Say." Xu Beicang frowned.
"If I win, I will return the things that Xu Dongting took away from my grandma! Those are not the things of your Ethnic and Religious Coordination Association!" I said.
"Since it has been handed over to the Ethnic and Religious Coordination Association, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I heard that there are not many things handed over to the Ethnic and Religious Coordination Association, that is, the official seal and a few brands. These are all registered with the Zhongdu Yin Division. I will give them back to you.
?They are not qualified either." Xu Beicang said calmly.
"You kid, your tone of voice when talking to my master is too rude! Quickly fight with me!" Kubo Shota stood up and pointed at me and said angrily.
I looked at him coldly and said, "Are you afraid that it will be too late and there are no emergency room doctors in our country to treat you?"
The veins on Kubo Shota's forehead bulged out: "Don't regret saying these words!"
"Old Xu, at nine o'clock, let's go to the bamboo forest behind Ziyang Temple." Uncle Lu looked at the time.
"It's nine o'clock. If you lose, each of you will take someone back." Xu Beicang said.
"Don't seek revenge, for it will not harm your wife and children."
"Don't seek revenge, don't bring harm to your wife and children."
After the two parties agreed, Uncle Lu took me back and said, "Go to the back mountain to preach the Dharma altar. Remember to be careful."
After I nodded, Lu Yingxue looked at me worriedly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go with you!"
"You stay here and don't go anywhere." After I said that, I looked at Uncle Lu.
After nodding, he began to persuade Lu Yingxue earnestly.
After I put on my robe and equipment, I quickly arrived at the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
The bamboos in the south are clustered together. It is said to be a bamboo forest, but in fact it is a path up the mountain opened in the bamboo forest. It is not the same concept as standing in the bamboo forest in the TV series.
Not long after I went up the mountain, Uncle Lu told me that Shota Kubo was also going up the mountain.
It seems that everyone agreed on nine o'clock, but no one really waited until nine o'clock to start directly.
A battle of wits is a life-and-death battle, and a fight is almost a matter of life and death. If ordinary low-level mages bet on the probability of not dying or coming back to consciousness, there is still a chance.
But if you meet an expert who often decides the outcome on the basis of life and death, no one can give in to anyone else.
Kubo Shota also knows the truth not to underestimate the enemy.
I set up the altar in the middle of the road up the back mountain. After lighting the candles, I placed the Purple Nectar Bowl, Jasper Dragon Pattern Gui, Sanqing Bell, Heavenly Formation Flag, Official Seal, Bronze Kitchen Knife, etc.
superior.
After Kubo Shota arrived, he took out a white candle and white ash from his backpack, and drew a five-pointed star with himself as the center, which was a formation they called the Platycodon Seal.
Then white candles were lit at the tip and intersection of the five-pointed star.
This can be regarded as paving the altar.
"All those who are facing the battle are arrayed in front!" Kubo Shota hung a sword wrapped in white cloth on his waist. After placing it on the stage, he immediately chanted a mantra and formed a seal, then exited the five-pointed star and inserted the summoning flag.
In an instant, the surrounding Yin Qi was forcibly absorbed into the five-pointed star by him!
Then he took out a piece of talisman paper stamped with a red seal and threw it into the center of the five-pointed star!
The air waves in Yin Yang's eyes are rolling, and it looks like he is casting a spell!
Doesn't this guy follow the rules?
"Kubo Shota! If you cast a spell before the time is up, are you planning to break the rules of the fight?" I scolded him coldly. There is still at least half an hour left.
"That's the time agreed by Master. Theoretically, I don't have to obey it!" Kubo Shota said coldly, and immediately sang a Taoist song: "The man is inspired to cross the Western Pass, and the sword can only be returned with a clear name, and the land of ancestral home is full of loyalty.
Bones, the end of life is other mountains! Yin and Yang Dao! The Tiger of Kai Fei!"
The Fuso general in red armor, holding a knife and a spear, suddenly appeared in the center of the five-pointed star!
Its eyes were flashing red, and its anger was boiling!
