"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes. It drives away evil spirits and traps evil spirits, protects life and protects the body. Wisdom is clear, and the mind is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss."
"..."
Inside the temple, shallow chanting slowly sounded.
Wang Hongguang's voice angrily scolding everyone suddenly stopped.
Surrounded by the temple, the deep and slightly magnetic voice instantly made the restless crowd calm down and look at Xu Ping solemnly.
My heart is extremely calm, as if I have entered the sage mode.
The beautiful woman lying in Xiao Cui's arms was in the middle of a nightmare. Suddenly, a gentle voice, like a spring breeze and drizzle that nourished her heart, rang in her ears.
She looked around, seeing the endless sea of desire and the dark world.
The seawater was still swallowing her, but that sound made her full of strength and she swam towards the shore with all her strength.
Just when she was finally about to swim ashore, something seemed to be grabbing her ankles in the water, threatening to pull her into the sea.
Permanently addicted.
"Ah...help..."
The seawater flooded her mouth and nose, and her whole body became panicked.
But the soft voice in her ears continued, giving her endless power.
Suddenly, she felt her body light up, and she saw a figure in front of her, pulling her along the waves and walking slowly towards the shore.
The churning sea water suddenly calmed down at this moment.
At this time, she relaxed her brows and slowly relaxed her whole body.
Even when she was sleeping soundly, she still had a sweet smile on her lips.
The nightmare just now was swept away, and the hazy figure in front of her pulled her to the shore and turned to look at her.
She desperately wanted to open her eyes and take a closer look, but no matter how she looked, the figure in front of her was still blurry and her facial features were not clear.
It is said that any girl is not pregnant, but why not a widow?
…
Looking at the woman in front of him who had escaped from the nightmare, Xu Ping smiled and thought to himself, you are so lucky to have met me.
Otherwise, you will either eat smelly socks or eat incense ashes.
Suddenly, Xu Ping frowned.
He felt as if something was slowly entering his body, making him feel inexplicably comfortable.
It's incense!
His eyes lit up, and he looked at the statue of Emperor Wenchang, and then he realized that he seemed to have attracted the incense offered by these people.
Wouldn't it be nice to do such a thing in front of others?
What is the difference between this and robbers, bandits, and natori?
Xu Ping looked at it intently for a while and found that there was no reaction from the statue in front of him, and he immediately felt relieved.
After he calmed down for a moment, he discovered the reason for this change.
It turns out that due to the improvement of one's own Taoism, the magic of incense belief has also been upgraded to a higher level, with more magical effects.
You can intercept incense in front of the temple and use it for yourself.
Of course, the premise is that you have to perform some miracle to transfer the lingering incense to your body.
Xu Ping secretly remembered this change and then stopped chanting the Meditation Mantra.
Everyone in the temple woke up instantly and put on civilized clothes. Finally, someone started to suggest that we should send her to the hospital.
Just when Wang Hongguang looked at Xu Ping in shock, the charming and beautiful woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her spring-filled eyes, and happened to see Xu Ping in front of her.
There is a rumor that when you wake up from the endless darkness, the first person you see may be the person you want to see the most.
But at this moment, what she saw in her eyes happened to be the figure in her dream when she was unconscious, and the voice of the young boy in front of her overlapped.
"Ah this..."
The beautiful woman opened her mouth subconsciously, then quickly blocked her mouth.
"Auntie, you're awake. How are you? Don't let anything happen to you?" Wang Hongguang asked, squatting next to her with concern on his face.
What I didn't say is, whether I can walk sideways depends on you.
Looking at her nephew's big face, the woman looked slightly unhappy, then raised her head and asked, "Xiao Cui, what happened to me just now?"
Xiaocui's pretty face also turned from white to red, and she said with lingering fear: "Madam, you fainted just now, um..."
"It seems that this gentleman saved you."
Following Xiao Cui's gaze, the woman raised her head and looked at Xu Ping in front of her. Facing the eyes coming from outside, the man in front of her seemed to be bathed in the sun.
The hazy figure seemed slightly familiar.
"Quick, help me up."
The woman's voice was slightly panicked. With Xiaocui's help, she hurriedly stood up and straightened her posture a little.
She was wearing a floral cheongsam, with a heart-shaped cutout on her chest, revealing a patch of snow-white skin. After smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes, she covered her chest and bent over to express her gratitude: "Thank you sir..."
"Huh?!"
Her expression changed, she took away the palm covering her chest, and looked down at her plumpness.
Where is jade?
Xu Ping stretched out his right hand and showed the jade sword in his palm, "Are you looking for this?"
This jade sword is made of white jade, with a slightly moist and warm feel. It is only about three centimeters long, has no edge, and has a torn red rope hanging from the hilt.
The jade sword lay quietly in Xu Ping's palm. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she felt angry and annoyed: "How could you take advantage of someone's danger and be so frivolous with me?"
Although the words were reprimanded, the tone was gentle and there was no trace of anger or cowardice, but more of it.
Xu Ping chuckled: "If I hadn't pulled off this jade pendant in time, I'm afraid...Mrs. Wang would have fallen into an endless sea of desire."
"My surname is not Wang..."
The beautiful woman's voice became softer and softer, as if she was shy, and even goosebumps appeared on the exposed skin on her chest.
Xu Ping suddenly realized what kind of brain this was.
Thinking that he was Wang Hongguang's aunt, he subconsciously called Mrs. Wang and blurted out: "Then what is your name?"
"Zhou Lianqing."
Xu Ping nodded: "You do look quite young."
The beautiful woman was anxious: "Oh, I am not this young, I am..."
For a moment, she didn't know how to describe it.
Looking at the reaction of the woman in front of him, Xu Ping was a little stunned. What was going on with this inexplicable contrast?
Aren't you supposed to be the type of sexy beauty and aloof lady?
Looking at the jade sword in his palm, Xu Ping condensed slightly and asked: "Who gave you this jade sword?"
The woman was lowering her head and didn't know how to explain it. When she heard this, she felt a little puzzled in her heart, "I bought it myself. The person who sold it said that wearing it on my body can help me sleep. I, I have had some problems recently.
I couldn't sleep, so I bought it."
Wang Hongguang also sensed something was wrong and interrupted: "Mr. Xu, is there something wrong with this jade sword?"
The beautiful woman's face changed slightly, and Xiao Cui's face behind her changed from red to pale again.
Of course there is a problem!
But it's no problem now.
The nightmare in the jade sword had been turned into ashes by Xu Ping's true energy, and he was also rewarded with a dream.
Just now, this beautiful woman was used as a test subject to try some dream-inducing techniques on her.
Gu Jing
Could it be that someone wanted to harm her, or she simply bought the ghost jade... Xu Ping thought for a moment and smiled: "Mrs. Zhou, I saved you just now, this should be correct, right?"
Zhou Lianqing gently nodded her head, not knowing why, she raised her head again, a look of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Xu means..."
Xu Ping directly expressed his thoughts: "How about giving this to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lianqing's pink cheeks turned slightly red, but for a moment, she did not agree immediately.
It's not that she is stingy, the main thing is...
This jade sword was something she had worn personally, and she was giving it to a man, who was about the same age as her nephew, so she felt shy.
Seeing that she did not agree, Xu Ping frowned: "If Mrs. Zhou is unwilling, I can pay for it."
Zhou Lianqing suddenly felt a little depressed and said in a low voice: "Since Mr. Xu wants it, of course I am willing to give it to you, but..."
Xu Ping asked: "How?"
"Listening to the meaning of the red light just now, could it be that my sudden dizziness has something to do with this jade sword?" Zhou Lianqing asked with a frown, her eyes seeming to drift towards Xiao Cui next to her.
Xu Ping thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It is true, there is a nightmare hidden in this jade sword, specializing in nightmares."
"Over time, the wearer may even wonder whether he is in reality or an illusory dream."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and asked with concern: "I wonder where Mrs. Zhou bought this jade sword?"
"Xiao Cui!"
Zhou Lianqing gave a sweet shout, and the maid next to her immediately knelt down with a look of panic on her face: "Madam, I really don't know anything. The person who bought the jade pendant said it could help with sleep, so I recommended it to you, madam.
We know each other."
Her sudden kneeling action was particularly eye-catching, and many people in the temple were looking in this direction.
Looks like a big sweet melon!
Zhou Lianqing also noticed it and said in a deep voice: "Get up first and talk later."
Naturally, she would not reprimand the servants in the family in public and act like a monkey for no reason.
"Let Mr. Xu see the joke."
Xu Ping shook his head and was noncommittal.
Xu Ping didn't want to interfere with other people's family affairs, so getting this jade sword was an unexpected surprise.
Although this sword is very small and short, what is concentrated is the essence. Why is it so short?
As if there was nothing more to say, Xu Ping scratched his forehead and said to several people: "In that case, I'll take my leave."
Zhou Lianqing was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "I have to be saved by Mr. Xu, and he is a colleague of Hongguang. How about letting me be the host and prepare some wine?"
I still have business... Xu Ping shook his head: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhou, for your kindness. I have something to do in the afternoon."
He looked at Wang Hongguang next to him and asked: "Where is your master now? It's still early. Please take me to find him."
Wang Hongguang was still thinking about how to bring the two of them together at the wine table. When he heard that Xu Ping mentioned that he wanted to see the master, he became serious, "Master should be back in the afternoon, but I don't know what Mr. Xu has to do in the afternoon, so it's not convenient to go."
Waiting at the police station?”
Xu Ping nodded directly and said, "I happen to have nothing to do this afternoon, so it doesn't hurt to wait."
Zhou Lianqing suddenly looked depressed. Just now you said you had something to do in the afternoon. Are all men so duplicitous?
…
Baidu Trading Co., Ltd.
Sun Hai, who was imprisoned by the piles of information, his eyes were red, carefully flipping through the letters and documents on the table.
Most of these letters were exchanged with Maoshan disciples from various places, and there was nothing special about them.
Therefore, Sun Hai's main concern is those contract documents.
After picking through dozens of different documents, he finally found the document about the building.
He picked up the tea and took a hasty sip, rolled up his sleeves and read through it vigorously. At the same time, he thought that after finishing this matter, he must ask Xu Ping to invite him to the Japanese food store again, otherwise he would go crazy.
After reading several copies in a row, Sun Hai stared at the design drawings for the construction of the building in front of him and suddenly paused.
"No, no!"
According to the records on the documents, the original building address was a little further away from the street.
But this design drawing later required that the overall structure of the building be extended forward more than ten meters, which is where it is now.
Sun Hai also thought about it. At that time, he was already preparing to start construction, but Shi Jian suddenly wanted to change the drawings, which he did not agree with at the time.
But in the end, the designer said that there was a defect in the place, the soil was too soft, and the foundation was not strong enough, so he had no choice but to agree.
But now that I think about it more carefully, there are a lot of strange things.
"If there is really a problem, then this designer must know what is going on?" Sun Hai muttered to himself, looking down at the signature on the design drawings with a tense look on his face.
At this glance, he frowned slightly.
The signer is a Japanese, but he also plans to study abroad in Japan in the near future, so he has been studying Japanese whether at home or in Japanese food stores.
The person who signed the document is named Ichiro Arai.
…
When Xu Ping came out of the police station, it was already dusk and the sun was setting.
The purpose of his trip was also achieved. He asked Feng Lao to find some insiders in the provincial capital and buy some good quality swords from them.
Wooden swords can also be used, copper coin swords can also be used, as long as they are not ordinary objects, they can be used.
Of course, you have to pay for it yourself.
As soon as Feng Lao heard this request, he made Xu Ping understand on the spot what it meant to rest against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
He directly selected several good-quality copper coin swords from his collection and let Xu Ping choose as he pleased.
Although these copper coin swords are not as good as the one given by Uncle Jiu, they are still usable.
In this way, Xu Ping gathered seven swords in one day.
After sending Xu Ping away, Wang Hongguang told his master what happened in Wenchang Temple.
Mr. Feng sat on the Taishi chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, and asked: "You mean, he recited the Taoist meditation mantra when he was in the temple?"
Wang Hongguang nodded.
Everyone knows the eight sacred mantras of Taoism. Although Wang Hongguang doesn't know them, he can hear them just from the mantras.
Feng Lao muttered to himself: "Could it be that he comes from Longhu Mountain?"
No one knew the origin of Xu Ping Daoxing, and he was a little curious.
"Master, if he is from Longhu Mountain, then why does Maoshan have to deal with him? Aren't they both under the same sect?" Wang Hongguang asked curiously.
Feng Lao looked surprised and said: "Who said Maoshan wanted to deal with him?"
"That's how it's spread in the circle."
Feng Lao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "I told you not to listen to rumors outside. Fortunately, you are saying this to me, Master, otherwise it wouldn't be a joke."
As he spoke, his face became solemn and he said: "To tell you the truth, what Maoshan wants to deal with is the White Lotus Sect, and I heard today that the identity of the leader of the White Lotus Sect has been found out by Maoshan."
"White Lotus Sect?" Wang Hongguang said: "So that's the case. I thought Maoshan was really gathering his disciples to deal with him."
"But Master, why do you think Mr. Xu needs so many copper coin swords? Is it related to the construction site?"
Feng Lao's eyes widened: "Don't ask, don't ask him. Since the other party didn't tell us, it means that this matter is beyond our ability."
"Mr. Xu did this for our own good. He didn't want others to wade into this muddy water..."
"This kind of mind and spirit are not possessed by ordinary people."
At this time, Zhou Lianqing, who happened to come outside the door, felt inexplicable emotions in his heart when he heard this last sentence.
I remember when they first met, they stared at me unscrupulously, and when I tried to be friendly, I was rejected outright.
She couldn't help but think: "I thought that man was being serious, but he was actually playing hard to get. It turns out that he was not what he seemed."
I thought the other party was trying to make me feel bad, but I didn’t expect that he actually regarded me as his aunt!
For a time, this charming woman, who had been widowed since her wedding night, became dejected.
