The Huaihuang Kingdom was a small country in the north. It was a barren land and both the government and the public were so poor that the king could not send officials to worship the gods of the Five Mountains on time, so there was a saying that officials from the two departments of ritual and household did not go to the mountains.
It may be that the imperial court did not pay enough respect to the Lord of the Five Mountains. In addition, local temples were sparse and incense was not popular. Demons often appeared in the towns and countryside of Huaihuang State, so there were often real people and eminent monks from other countries traveling around the mountains and rivers to save the people from fire and water.
However, these local high-ranking people could never enter the real dignitaries of Huaihuang Kingdom. Later, they simply avoided the capital to avoid getting into trouble.
On this day, at the border pass between the Huaihuang Kingdom and the Yinping Kingdom in the south, there was a scholar in white wearing a bamboo hat. He handed over the customs clearance document, entered the border town, wandered around, and sat on a bamboo box at a market overpass.
, gnawing on the scallion pancakes I just bought, chatting with the local people and some businessmen who did not do much business, and listening to the storyteller telling some strange stories about gods and gods. The storyteller is old and has never thought of getting angry.
Quezu, who could raise his voice loud enough to make a loud noise, and spitting everywhere, said that a very ferocious monster had appeared in Buyao County before, entrenched on the top of the mountain, and turned into black smoke at night and sneaked into the county, specifically to abduct the yellow-flowered girls.
, the government could not stop it at all, but the old man who was invited by a county magistrate set up an altar, which attracted thunder. In the middle of the night when the moon and stars were sparse, there was a sudden heavy rain and thunder, and the big demon hid in the miasma-filled place.
At the top of the mountain, there was a crack, and there was a lightning strike deep into the mountain. Afterwards, a brave woodcutter followed the movement into the mountain and saw that it was a big snake as thick as a well that was killed by the thunder. It was a pity for those yellow flowers.
My dear daughter, in the mountain col, there are skeletons everywhere and jagged bones. From the looks of it, they should all be those unfortunate women.
Everyone who listened gasped, their hair stood on end, and their spines felt chilly.
The traveling scholar in a snow-white robe was also startled along with the others.
Ding ding dong dong, some listeners took the lead to give the reward, and people from behind took out their pockets one after another and threw some copper coins in the big white bowl. The storyteller glanced at the harvest in the bowl, stroked his beard and smiled, it was enough to buy two jugs of wine.
.
Finally, the storyteller told that there are also demons and lawless people in Yuhu County. Unfortunately, the prefect of this county is a miser. He has no connections and is unwilling to spend a lot of money to hire real people. The immortal masters will go down the mountain to subdue the monsters. The people of Yuhu County are really pitiful.
, was entangled to death. Fortunately, although the evil demon was unscrupulous, it was fortunate that he was not of high moral character and was far inferior to the Buyao County snake demon who was killed by thunder. Otherwise, it would be a tragedy in the world.
What the common people like is excitement, so a man asked who the monster of Yuhu County was, and the storyteller told him that there was a hanged man in white clothes in the county, who liked to scare the watchman and knocked on people's doors late at night, causing the county to lose sight of people at night.
No one dares to go out, and there are foxes and rabbits in the wilderness. There are often voluptuous women with beautiful flowers, who like to seduce men and absorb the essence. There is also a group of fierce ghosts who have driven away the temple monks, doves occupy magpie nests, and a girl in green at the ferry.
, using the river as his home, making waves.
Some people don't believe it, saying that the Yinping Kingdom and our Huaihuang Kingdom have always been stable, and there have been no monsters and evil spirits for hundreds of years. How come they are suddenly popping up all over the place? Could it be that they are stuffed guys who are deliberately pretending to be evil and defrauding people of their money?
The storyteller puffed his beard and stared, saying that he had seen with his own eyes the corpse of the snake demon in Buyao County and the pale face of the green water ghost at the ferry.
The audience laughed in disbelief.
The ancient old man looked around, and finally looked at the scholar in white who had just finished eating scallion pancakes. He raised his hand and said, "This scholar who traveled far away from home must have read a lot and has a wide range of knowledge. Ask him if there are any ghosts or ghosts in the world."
. Scholars, even if you have never seen it with your own eyes, what you have heard of it counts."
Everyone looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat. The man shook his head and said, "I have never seen it, and I have never heard of it."
There were boos everywhere.
When the storyteller saw something bad, he hurriedly put away the big white bowl and closed the stall. None of his damn scholars are good at it. It's fine if they don't support money.
I don't have the slightest hope of being named on the gold list.
As soon as the stalls were closed, the audience and spectators dispersed.
The storyteller glared fiercely at the foreign scholar who was on a study tour.
Chen Pingan smiled, stood up, and put the bamboo box on his back. The sword fairy, sword gourd, and jade bamboo fan had been put into the bamboo box before. The only thing in his hand was the green hiking stick.
Along the way, the hiking staff has been refined. At the same time, he has hidden a few yellow paper talismans made of ordinary materials in his sleeves. They are Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, Dust Cleansing Talisman and Barrier Breaking Talisman, which are common in the "Authentic Alchemy Book".
Introductory talisman.
Chen Pingan walked to the old man and said, "Old sir, I'll buy you a drink. Do you want to drink it?"
The storyteller looked at him sideways and his hands were weak. He didn't look like a gangster who was robbing houses. It's just that the road was not easy to walk. God knows where on the road, looking at a small puddle with very shallow water would make someone sprain their feet, so
Even though he was really greedy, he swallowed hard and refused with a smile: "No, no, I appreciate this young master's kindness. I have to hurry on, cross the border and go to Yinping Country to make a living. The inns here in the city charge like death."
Pigs, sleeping on the street will cause trouble, why not just pass the customs and sleep in the wilderness, no matter what the heaven or the earth."
Chen Ping'an said regretfully: "Okay, then I won't keep the old gentleman, I'll just save myself a pot of Bishanlou's fly whisk wine."
The ancient old man's eyes lit up, and the alcohol bug in his stomach began to rebel. He immediately changed his face, looked up at the sky, and laughed: "Looking at the sky, it's too early, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, and let the Silver Screen Country
Brothers Kong Fang, please wait a little longer. I will not refuse the young master’s hospitality. Let’s go to Bishan Tower. I haven’t tasted this fly wine yet. Thanks to the young master, I can have a good drink.”
Chen Pingan nodded and said with a smile: "Old sir, why don't you invite your apprentice to join you?"
The old man looked angrily, turned around and waved, calling the guy who threw the money into the bowl first, and said in a low voice: "Young Master has a good eye."
When they arrived at the largest restaurant in the city, the three of them sat down on the second floor under the guidance of the attentive waiter. Chen Pingan ordered a table of dishes and three pots of wine. The old man waited until the three pots of wine were served, then silently placed the scholar on the table.
The bottle of wine beside his disciple was placed silently in front of his eyes, and he said with a smile: "I just forgot to tell you that my disciple doesn't know how to drink. It's a waste of money for you, it's a waste of money."
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "Then I'll ask the waiter to remove the extra wine, it's only twenty taels of silver."
The old man quickly put his arms around the two jugs of wine and said, "Don't worry, sir, there's no reason to take away good wine after it's been served. Isn't this just asking a beautiful woman to undress and get on the bed and then get out? It's a huge disgrace to the scenery. How can it be like this?"
Chen Ping'an opened the mud seal, poured himself a bowl of wine, and asked with a smile: "Isn't the old gentleman from Mengliang country?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I come from the Qingjing Country in the far west. I have been a storyteller since I was twenty-six years old. I have traveled to more than ten countries, and I have been to Mengliang Country once. It is a place that is rare to find in the world.
Utopia, I was thinking of a place to retire in the future, so I chose Mengliang Country. Anyway, I no longer have any relatives or worries in my hometown. If my apprentice can live up to his standards and earn real money, I can be buried in my hometown after I close my eyes.
there."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Then just drink."
Chen Ping'an could only see that the storyteller in front of him was a third-level qi practitioner, but this meant that the old man in front of him was either a real lower-level monk who traveled around, or his cultivation level would be far higher than that of Ye.
Ye Han and Fan Weiran are two golden elixirs. In the territory of more than ten countries, apart from the two masterminds behind the scenes, Ye Han and Fan Weiran are the well-deserved "top of the mountain" monks.
One day before, ripples of spiritual energy on the borders of more than a dozen countries shook, like spring thunder, which made Chen Ping'an feel something in his heart. He immediately raised his sword into the sky and saw an extremely long golden line suddenly appearing on the ground, and then burned like ashes.
It should be one of the great monks who removed the restriction on magical powers that was locked up in the enclosure. He was probably the man behind the Mengliang Kingdom who obtained the rare treasure from Suijia City. As for the other great monk, who is only named Xia Zhen for the time being, he has never shown up yet.
, is looking for trouble for himself. Logically speaking, this is very wrong. Fan Weiran's Baodong Wonderland, Ye Han's Huangyue City, and all the mountains headed by the two forces are most likely caged birds and fish in the pond raised by this person.
With such a huge damage and no movement, there are two possibilities. The lion is fighting the rabbit with all his strength. Xia Zhen is waiting for him somewhere now, or... Jiang Shangzhen has secretly been waiting for him before he showed up in Suiji City.
After cleaning up the mess, Xia Zhen was either dead or had a chance to escape, but his vitality was severely damaged and he was unable to deal a fatal blow to himself.
If the storyteller in front of him was really the master of Mengliang Kingdom who came all the way to see him, Chen Pingan would be too lazy to argue with him and just roll up his sleeves and fight.
The old man smiled and said: "Why, the young master has an acquaintance in the Mengliang Kingdom? Are they sworn enemies or worried relatives and friends? If it's the latter, after I finish the Yinping Kingdom, I will travel to the Mengliang Kingdom with my silly apprentice.
I can send a message to the young master, that is..."
The old man smiled and stretched out two fingers to gently twist.
Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "There is no deep grudge or big grudge. I just admire the extraordinary methods of an expert from the Mengliang Kingdom. He is meticulous and flawless. I really want to sincerely invite him to drink a pot of wine. Anyway, the overall situation is now
It was decided, just like the review of the chess game. This expert made the first move in the past, with great power and calmness in the middle game. At the end of the game, he made so many wonderful moves, but no one understood it and cheered a few times, just like you, old gentleman.
When telling a story, if the whole place is silent and silent, even if you get a large bowl of copper coins in the end, wouldn't it still be a big pity?"
The old man took a sip of wine and said, "Although I don't know what the young master is talking about, it sounds reasonable. Then let's go one by one?"
Chen Pingan picked up the wine bowl, touched it with the old man, and drank each other.
It's not just drinking wine with like-minded people that makes you feel good.
In the light of swords and shadows, fighting with flies and dogs, looking at each other as enemies and enemies, and murderous aura flowing in the cups and bowls on the wine table, this is also practice.
As for the strange phenomenon that is happening in this small northern country, Huaihuang Kingdom, the sudden increase in demons is also related to the flood of spiritual energy pouring into the territory of dozens of countries from the outside. Without the existence of the thunder pool that shocked all things, people are naturally jumping for joy, as if they were awakening.
Afterwards, snakes and insects were ready to move and burst out of the ground.
It's just that Chen Ping'an doesn't plan to quarrel with the master of Mengliang Kingdom and the monk behind the scenes named Xia Zhen for the time being. Above the golden elixir, Nascent Soul is okay, and he can still run away if he can't be beaten, but as long as there is a Jade Pu realm, he can still run away.
There is no need for both of them to be a huge trouble for themselves. Chen Ping'an doesn't have the right time, place or people. If the other party really wants to kill him at any cost, with the temper of the monk from Beiju Luzhou, there will never be any hesitation.
.In Luzhou, Beiju, where the Sword Immortal is exclusive, there were more than one or two foreign monks with backgrounds and backers who died suddenly.
Otherwise, if Chen Ping'an is more ruthless, he can use the sage's jade token to collect these spiritual energies that are pouring into the upper reaches of the river like a tide. However, using this jade token across continents will make Liu Laocheng jealous in Shujian Lake.
Taking it out and using it in Juluzhou would be a different story. It would be very taboo, and it might lead to resentment and accountability from Yizhou Academy.
The two people behind the scenes, compared to Xia Zhen, Chen Ping'an was more afraid of the great monk who was involved with Mengliang Country. They planned carefully and planned every step. There was no need for the man to take action himself. He just sent two of his subordinates to obtain the casual item.
In the end, if he had not broken through the formation at the Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace, the Golden Body Realm warrior who deliberately became the grandson of the Qi Practitioners of Mengliangfeng would have continued to hide.
If you see Du Yu, you will have a rough idea of the situation of Ghost Ax Palace. If you see the master of Shaoxi Canal and Mrs. Zaoqu, you will have a rough idea of the customs and customs of Cangjun Lake. If you see Yan Qing, you will know the general situation of Baodong Wonderland.
This is the principle behind Huang Yuecheng's style. Of course there will be errors. However, the longer we get along and the more monks we see, the closer we will be to the facts and the truth, and that eventuality will become smaller and smaller.
Sometimes, you can still see the whole picture at a glance, that is, the Chenghuang Lord, Fan Weiran and Ye Han who accompanied the city, because they are all heads of the family, and the family tradition is often decided by them.
One looks up, the other looks down, and the two together are like the beginning and end of a vein. Once someone picks up both ends, you can't escape the eyes of others no matter how far you go.
The world is complicated, and if you want to live an easier and easier life, you can either cover your head with a quilt, live by yourself, accept hardships and enjoy blessings, or you can only watch and think more. The latter requires hard work, and a mountain is always higher than a mountain.
, even the saints from all walks of life who sit in the small world, as if they are the gods, once they step out of their own small world, they are still tied up and living under the fence of others. They still need to look at the many contexts and complicated rules of the world.
Being reasonable may not be useful.
Knowing the rules is never a bad thing.
Is the Lord of the Lake Yinhou unreasonable? But he knows how to find out other people's rules and grasps the context of Chen Pingan's actions. Therefore, on Cangjun Lake, dark clouds cover the jurisdiction, and Chen Pingan does not dare to kill him for fear of being killed.
The lakes, rivers and canals all flooded, affecting countless innocent people. In the Dragon Palace, he was no less worthy of death than Ye Hanfan Weiran, but he took the initiative to promise to protect the people under his jurisdiction in the future, repair the fate of the mountains and rivers, and make up for his mistakes, so the sword in white clothes
Not one of Xian's punches or swords landed on his head.
Then the storyteller and his apprentice devoured the food.
Chen Pingan just drank the wine from the bowl slowly without moving his chopsticks.
The storyteller burped and said with a smile: "Young master didn't even move a chopstick. He just drank. Is he not hungry at all?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm really not hungry. Besides, I think this meal should belong to the old man."
The old man said helplessly: "Young Master's words are like a bald donkey talking about Zen, making people confused."
Chen Pingan asked: "When will the old gentleman cross the border and go to Yinping Country?"
The old man smiled and said: "I'm leaving now. I've had enough to eat and drink. By the way, I've learned some fortune-telling. The young master has treated me to such a meal, why don't I do a fortune-telling for the young master? Don't worry, young master, I won't charge you any money."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao."
The old man took out a few copper coins that he had obtained earlier from his sleeves, threw them on the table, twirled his beard and pondered, silent.
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.
The old man gently moved the copper coins on the table with his fingers, frowned and said: "Young Master is kind-hearted, and he is a person with deep blessings, but you must also be careful. Blessed people will not end up in unlucky places. Old sayings are never empty words. Don't listen to them.
To make a general statement, I think the young master can go anywhere during his trip to the Huaihuang Kingdom in the north, except for Jicuo Mountain, which is more than a hundred miles ahead. For the young master, it is a place of no happiness.
It may not be too dangerous if you go there, but if you encounter evil spirits blocking the way and causing extraneous problems, it will not be beautiful after all."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will listen to the old gentleman and go around Jihuan Mountain."
The old man raised his head and said with a smile: "Young master, do you really believe this?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "How can you not believe what the old man said? Anyway, traveling to Huaihuang Country and taking a few extra steps on the detour is nothing."
The old man stood up and praised: "Then I won't bother you, young master. I'll leave first and get out of the gate quickly. Telling fortunes and revealing secrets are always disturbing."
Chen Ping'an nodded, "After I finish drinking this pot of wine, I will take a detour to the north. I will not go to Jihuan Mountain to seek trouble."
The old man left Bishan Tower with his dull apprentice.
Chen Pingan finished the pot of local specialty fly whisk wine, and when he went downstairs to pay the bill, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, and gave him a full twenty taels of silver with wine and food. It turned out that the storyteller came downstairs.
At that time, he secretly took away two pots of Bishanlou Town Store's twenty-year-old wine, saying that a friend sitting upstairs helped him pay the bill. Chen Pingan was not too concerned, because there was no need to guess the identity of this person.
, it saves you a worry, you don’t have to be distracted and delay your practice, and it’s still very cost-effective to pay more than ten taels of silver.
In the end, Chen Ping'an really bypassed the Jihuan Mountain. There are many waterfalls in the mountain. It is a beautiful place with beautiful landscapes and rivers that he wants to visit.
Bun in the mountain.
In a pavilion halfway up the mountain for people to rest.
A young man with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, his face ashen, was surrounded by Ye Han, Fan Weiran and a second ancestor woman from Baodong Wonderland.
It was Xia Zhen who luckily escaped death.
Xia Zhen roared angrily: "Old man, why are you ruining my affairs?! I have clearly told you that I have sent a letter to the great swordsman in the middle. This person is an accomplice of Jiang Shangzhen. Even if Jiang Shangzhen is hiding in the dark, he will still
You are frightened and cowering! You scared away the bait this time. Once the Great Sword Immortal becomes angry, do you really think that you have refined the Xiantian Sword Pill and reached the upper five realms?! Are you stupid? I have sworn that half a sword
The Immortal Soldier is yours, and I only ask for the rest of his possessions, and you’re not satisfied yet?! We both have to gain nothing to be happy?"
On a mountaintop in the distance, an old man in a Confucian shirt smiled slightly. A storyteller and a dull-looking young man appeared beside him, and then their bodies overlapped and became one person.
It should be the immortal method of traveling far away together with the true form of the Yang God and the Yin God.
The old man smiled and said: "Don't scare me with these vain words. With the temper of that great swordsman, even after receiving the secret message, he didn't bother to act like this and still fished. You really think that we are here in this ten-year-old family."
Does a small fight in the country need to be so strenuous?"
The old man was the national master of the Mengliang Kingdom. He pinched a messenger flying sword with his fingers and gently broke it into pieces. "What's more, the Great Sword Immortal has never received your secret message."
Xia Zhen's face was gloomy, and he suddenly laughed angrily, "Are you planning to form a deadly feud with me, Xia Zhen?!"
The old master smiled and said: "The territory of these dozens of countries has a lot of spiritual energy now. It is a good and not a bad place. You and I have been neighbors for many years. You Xia Zhen is notoriously difficult to deal with. Although it hurts now
The Great Dao is fundamental, but I still can't kill you, and it's even harder for you to kill me. What we are competing is who can reach the upper five realms first, so why should I watch you send a message to the Immortal Mansion of the Great Sword Immortal in the middle of the country?
The Great Sword Immortal really hates Jiang Shangzhen so much that he is willing to lower his body and attack a little sword cultivator. When the time comes, you will fall in love with such a good friend. If others remember your friendship, I will become a Jade Master in the future.
Pujing, how can I have the nerve to compete with you for the territory of these dozens of countries? Xia Zhen, it’s a pity that you are so angry that you have slowed down the speed of swallowing the spiritual energy of the border, and you have to lead three lackeys in Jihuan Mountain, which costs a full two years.
For ten years, the mountain-moving formation was carefully laid out, but in the end it seems that it has no chance of being used?"
Xia Zhen sneered: "Aren't you here?"
The old man pretended to be surprised and said, "That's right. I just don't know who is more lethal and powerful between my little sword pill embryo and your mountain-moving formation. Sooner or later there will be a fight between you and me.
, it saves trouble if we go ahead of time. Today is not the same as before, when you were strong and I was weak, and things took turns, you Xia Zhen couldn’t see the situation clearly? "
The Mengliang Kingdom's national master smiled and shook his head, "But it's not that I look down on you, Xia Zhen. This talisman array can indeed hurt him, but it may not be able to trap him. I am here to help you rein in the cliff. You Xia Zhen
I really shouldn't be so kind-hearted as a donkey, relying on a secret letter that I don't know if it will be lost in the sea, and dare to play a trick with Jiang Shangzhen. In order to prevent you from catching any clues about these hundreds of years of news,
The news is blocked. I am not as well-informed as you, but I know more about some old things in the past than you, Xia Zhen. If you send a secret letter to the great swordsman in the north, I will not intercept this flying sword.
.”
The old man held back his smile and looked at Xia Zhen, his eyes full of sarcasm and pity, "Because that is a male swordsman. His beloved only daughter was harmed by Jiang Shangzhen, which delayed his path. Naturally, he would spare no effort to kill Jiang Shangzhen, but you
The person who sent the letter is a woman. It seems that you are not very clear about the grudges between her and Jiang Shangzhen. What she resents is not that she regrets her infatuation with Jiang Shangzhen as the rumors say, but that she hates this person.
I've drifted away from each other and flirted with women everywhere. If I really want to meet each other, I'll tell Jiang Shangzhen a few nonsense words and drink the ecstasy soup. Then I won't be afraid that the female sword fairy will turn around and reward you and me.
Sword? So you, Xia Zhen, are really not a good ally. If that young man had a higher moral character and was the same Nascent Soul as us, I would join forces with him and kill you. As for now, the matter
At this point, there is no point in talking more. I will not fight with you and consume Taoism. You can slowly absorb the spiritual energy to recover, step by step. According to my deduction technique back then, your Nascent Soul bottleneck is already there.
It will arrive a month later than me. Now it seems that your Taoist mind is actually still unstable. At the level of you and me, if you still behave in the wild cultivator style that took advantage of you back then, you will suffer a lot."
The pavilion that Xia Zhen had set up suddenly turned into powder. Ye Han, Fan Weiran and the second ancestor of Baodong Fairyland were all forced out one after another, hovering in the wind, with panicked expressions on their faces.
The old man turned a blind eye and said, "You and I have finally formed an alliance to work together. I am hiding my name in Mengliang Country. Although I did have an agenda at the beginning, the experience of the mortal world is really beneficial to the Taoist heart, so I can suppress you everywhere, always Earning more than you, do you really think it's just a calculation? No, I was the one who caught the opportunity of Yuanying Hedao before you Xia Zhen. If Jiang Shangzhen was really that person's friend, how could he deliberately stay? Future troubles are nothing more than looking further ahead than you and I, and we have calculated that today will happen. Aren't you afraid? I am afraid, because this is a conspiracy. I am willing to put myself in a urn, ruin your good deeds, and open up a way for my future. The Zongli sect covers the territory of more than ten countries and takes action. For you, Xia Zhen, it is naturally a conspiracy, one after another, and the bamboo basket is empty every time. I even guessed that this flying sword that was intercepted by me was a messenger. , Jiang Shangzhen left it to me on purpose."
Xia Zhen restrained his momentum and said with a smile: "You ruined my big things and messed up my mood. You old thief has a good plan."
The old man sighed: "Xia Zhen, true or false, good or bad, no matter what my original intention is, true or false, according to the previous agreement, I will not deliberately prevent you from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, I have already taken the first step. No, I should It’s two steps. So in the future, when I break through the realm and advance to the upper five realms, I will give you another choice, whether to escape from here and continue to be a wild cultivator living in the mountains and swamps, or to be the chief worshiper of my sect. You and I no longer need to engage in unnecessary disputes over this little piece of landscape territory? If we can share the honor and disgrace and share the same concerns, we are both despised wild cultivators. How can we not be the Northern Ju? An eternal story from Luzhou?"
Xia Zhen remained silent, looking up at the old man in Confucian shirt standing on the top of the mountain.
Finally, Xia Zhen asked with a smile: "Did you have such a big appetite from the beginning and wanted to win me over as your sect's worshiper?"
The old man shook his head and said: "Under the upper five realms, even if you are what the world calls a land immortal, everyone will still follow the crowd. After I obtained the merits and rare treasures, my state of mind has now become more perfect, and I have such a broad-minded vision. Therefore, Jiang Shangzhen will you After being wounded, I had no intention of beating up the drowned dog. Otherwise, since I had intercepted the flying sword, how could I watch you lingering in this Jihuan Mountain? Even if you exchange injuries for injuries, you must also eliminate the roots. What wild cultivator can't do that? "
Xia Zhen held down the green horned snake that was sleeping soundly with both hands, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Then have you ever thought about the fact that I have more than one messenger flying sword? You intercepted that one, it was just a cover-up? Did I let it happen on purpose? Did you catch it? You might as well calculate it. From the time when Jiang Shangzhen left the city and returned to the south, and when I appeared at Jihuan Mountain, did I, Xia Zhen, calculate that he and the Northern Sword Immortal were expected to appear together? .”
The old man sighed, "That's all. If you want to bet, that's up to you. You, Xia Zhen, are already red-blooded from betting, so it's useless to say more."
Xia Zhen smiled ferociously and said: "Yes, I'm already red-blooded from gambling. If you keep standing here talking without pain in your back, don't blame me for trying to get hurt again. I also want you to refining the sword pill slower!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "That's all, just treat me as one of the younger members of our sect in the future to worship in the Jade Pure Realm."
Xia Zhen waved his sleeves and said sternly: "Get out of here, old dog. I'm annoyed by you!"
The old man laughed it off and disappeared.
Xia Zhen stood in the ruins of the pavilion, walking in a circle like a caged animal, and then waved his hands, and dozens of large and small peaks, including Jihuan Mountain, rose up in the air like the roots of the mountain were cut by a knife, and were controlled by Xia Zhen
In the mountain-moving formation, the mountain tip points to the ground, hovers upside down, and then hits the ground one after another. Every time it hits the nearby mountains and rivers, it raises dust that covers the sky and the sun. The power of each time the mountain hits the ground is already intense.
The astonishing killing power between Jindan and Nascent Soul, but it is a pity that the mountain-moving talisman array is a dead thing, it takes too long, and cannot be moved. The young swordsman who deserves to be cut to death is trying to scare the old bastard.
Without entering the boundary of Jihuan Mountain, the magnificent mountain-moving formation became a joke and decoration, and was used by Xia Zhen to vent his anger.
Within a radius of thousands of miles, everyone felt a shocking movement.
Seeing Ye Han and the others, their hearts tightened.
In the end, Xia Zhen will pull out the roots of the Bunhu Mountain at his feet, ride it into the sea of clouds, and then smash it down high.
But Xia Zhen frowned.
On the ridge road, two people walked down, three people to be precise.
A man and a woman who looked like Taoist couples stood side by side, talking and laughing. The woman was holding a swaddling baby in her hands, with gentle eyes.
An extremely slender snow-white sword hangs from the woman's waist.
Xia Zhen already has scalp troubles.
As for that man, it sent shivers down Xia Zhen's spine.
The man complained: "Mani Mani, it disturbed my and Sister Li's child, and it took a while to make funny faces before it stopped."
Xia Zhen was really desperate this time.
The woman nicknamed Sister Li by men.
If it was really the person I guessed, I wouldn't even think about escaping today no matter how hard I tried.
In the middle of Luzhou in Beiju there is a female swordsman named Li Cai.
The name of the natal flying sword is Snowflake.
The sword is called Frost Dragon.
He is one of the Sword Immortals who has not gone to Daoxuan Mountain together and is still staying in Luzhou, Beiju.
To show respect, the Sword Immortal became the Great Sword Immortal.
It sounds far-fetched.
But that killing power is real.
Every Sword Immortal of the Upper Fifth Realm in Luzhou, Beiju, has no water at all. The Jade Pu Realm monks, such as the one from the Qionglin Sect, even the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, are not very interested in provoking, and they would find it embarrassing if they win.
.But if a new sword cultivator reaches the Jade Pu Realm, he will almost have to fight with other sword immortals for several times. If he dies, it is natural that he has bad luck. He is not very capable and dares to be the leader. He cannot afford the title of sword immortal. He dies.
Pulled down. But if you can survive, you will be qualified to stand together on the land of Beiju Luzhou.
Xia Zhen gritted his teeth, faced the mountain road, and saluted, "I've met Sword Immortal Li and I've met Senior Jiang."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled playfully, "Hey, now you know how to call me senior."
The woman frowned and said, "If you weren't sensible enough to know that Feijian sent me a letter to inform me, you would be dead right now. You wild cultivator, do you know etiquette? Please change the order."
Xia Zhen almost had his head exploded on the spot, and said in a trembling voice: "I've seen Senior Jiang, I've seen Immortal Li Dajian!"
Jiang Shangzhen patted the female Sword Immortal's arm, "Don't be like this. Sister Li still doesn't know what kind of person Jiang Lang is? He never minds these false courtesy."
The woman snorted coldly: "I'll settle your debt later. Do you want to go to Shujian Lake to help you show off your prestige? I won't promise you that."
Jiang Shangzhen looked calm, bent down, lifted up a corner of the baby's clothes, and said with a soft smile: "Xiao Ni'er, the mother you just met is angry. Grow up quickly and learn how to speak, so that you can help your father plead for mercy."
The corners of the woman's mouth raised and then lowered.
Poor Xia Zhen is going crazy.
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and looked at Xia Zhen, "You, like me, can fight and run, which is very valuable. That's why I left you half alive. I thought that as long as I met Sister Li and went south hand in hand,
If you can live a little more peacefully, I won't care too much about you. However, your ability to run away is half as good as mine, but your brain is muddled. That Mengliang Kingdom's Imperial Master has said so many honest words to you, every sentence
When you are his biological son, you are better off because you can't even listen to a single word. When I was in Luzhou, Beiju, I met many people from the mountains who wanted to die and then helped them realize their wishes. But you
It’s really uncommon for someone to seek death in such a different way.”
Xia Zhen said in a deep voice: "I beg Senior Jiang to give me another chance, one last time!"
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "The Great Sword Immortal from the north was really secretly seduced by you. It's just that we, husband and wife, worked together to fight against the enemy. We finally managed to fight back. Near the big road in the middle, we were chopped out.
A huge river bed and a big cave should have created a big lake in vain now. Do you think it is fun or not? It is really difficult for him. A swordsman, just to kill me, Jiang Shangzhen, has to hide his head.
Tail, it’s a good thing Sister Li is familiar with his swordsmanship, otherwise I, Jiang Shangzhen, would have killed me with a piece of tofu in your Beiju Luzhou without even leaving an arm or a leg. The one who is so dangerous is so dangerous.
It’s dangerous, you Xia Zhen, you are such a non-stop master, I’m afraid of you, okay? Uncle Xia Zhen, I’m begging you, am I right?”
Xia Zhen has no hesitation anymore and will never be kind!
There was a bang.
Hundreds of Xia Zhen were transformed from the true body, either riding the wind, running wildly, or escaping to the ground, and fled one after another. As long as you can escape one of them, you can survive! This secret method is extremely costly, even if it makes you injured.
It's better to be injured than to be beaten to death by two upper-level five monks.
Jiang Shangzhen said in surprise: "This was not the way to escape last time. Good guy, he is truly a fairy in the eyes of these ants. It scared me to death."
The female swordsman next to Jiang Shangzhen twitched her lips and put her palm against the hilt of her sword. After a slight trembling sound, the sword was not unsheathed.
From all directions in the sky and earth of Jihuan Mountain, there are strips of snow-white sword energy rolling in, either straight, winding or floating.
In an instant, the world became silent.
Jiang Shangzhen stretched out his hand, grabbed a golden elixir and a small person the size of a grain of rice, and put them into the Qiankun Small World in his sleeve. He grabbed it again and put the sluggish green snake with horns on the ground into his sleeve, and said angrily: "
I’m so annoyed that I’m being asked to make money and gain treasure again!”
The female Sword Immortal Li Cai glared at him.
Jiang Shangzhen called the infant child in her arms a few times by her newly-given name, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll give it to this little Nier as my future dowry."
Li Cai saw that the three people over there were an eyesore, and he became impatient and asked, "What do you think of these three frogs in the well?"
Jiang Shangzhen looked sideways at the three of them.
The three of them were already hovering in the air and kneeling down.
Xia Zhen is the mountain immortal in their hearts.
He died in just the blink of an eye?
Jiang Shangzhen moved gently and helped the woman pat one of her sleeves, "Why don't we forget it? In front of our daughter..."
As he spoke, a willow leaf passed through Ye Han and Fan Weiran in an instant, and finally disappeared into Jiang Shangzhen's body. He smiled and said: "Anyway, Xiao Ni'er is sleeping, so she can't see her."
The corpses of two Jindan monks fell into the foothills of Jihuan Mountain.
Jiang Shangzhen didn't even look at it.
With the little rags and belongings they have on them, is it worth it for me, Jiang Shangzhen, to bend down and stretch out my hands? Is it worth it to delay me from making a lot of money?
Only the last second ancestor of Baodong Fairyland is left, a woman-looking monk of Longmen Realm, still trembling and lying on the ground.
The two began to ride the wind southward.
Li Cai was not surprised at all.
If it hadn't been for the talkative man next to me, I would have died at the golden elixir bottleneck.
Jiang Shangzhen lost half his life that time.
This was one of the few losing trades Jiang Shangzhen made during his trip to Luzhou, Beiju.
But she still doesn't know why he did this.
It was true that he liked her back then, but it was just as much as he liked other beautiful women, maybe a little bit more, but he definitely shouldn't fight so hard for her.
She has been wanting to know the answer for so many years, and even made a special trip to Tongyezhou. However, she failed to meet Jiang Shangzhen that time.
When she returned, the old sect leader also helped her scold Jiang Shangzhen, saying that such a ungrateful bastard should die in the Yunku blessed land. Miss Li's eyes were dirty even if she looked at him one more time. He deserved the chaos in the blessed land and almost died in it.
Damn it... But Li Cai also knew that the old sect leader still told Jiang Shangzhen a lot of things about himself in a roundabout way, obviously hoping that he would not give up on Jiang Shangzhen.
But until she reunited with Jiang Shangzhen, Li Cai, who is now a female swordsman in the middle of Luzhou, Beiju, didn't want to know the answer.
Li Cai turned his head and looked at it and asked, "Aren't you going to say hello?"
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and said: "I have too much to do with He Xiaoliang. Plus you are by my side. I am a foreigner and I am not afraid of trouble. But you are a monk here and I can't get you involved."
Li Cai smiled slightly.
She suddenly frowned and asked: "As for the Suijia City Heavenly Tribulation, I see that Yunhai Yuyun and the weaker Nascent Soul are a big trouble. How did they stop it?"
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "What else can I do? I'm just trying my best. Sincerity is spiritual, and you still have to believe it once in a while. Human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, geography is not as good as heaven's laws, and principles are the best. Who is the person pretending to be the national master of Mengliang Kingdom?
It is very difficult to catch a glimpse of the sky in the Nascent Soul Realm, so naturally the future is brighter than Xia Zhen."
Li Cai nodded, deeply convinced.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly said: "I heard that you have accepted an excellent female disciple? Now she is expected to be among the next ten."
Li Cai looked strange.
Jiang Shangzhen rolled his eyes and said: "Why are you worried about me? Rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests. A family only likes one on the hill. This is the purpose of Jiang Shangzhen, who walks on the mountain as fast as the wind and will not fall down for a thousand years as steady as a pine tree!"
Li Cai's face turned frosty and he asked: "Then why do you ask this?"
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that she will make the same mistake again. I want to learn from my master and fall in love with a good man who is worth a lot of money."
Li Cai shook his head, "My disciple has a firmer heart than I did back then. He will never like anyone in this life. The idea of a good girl being afraid of pestering a man will not work with my disciple."
Jiang Shangzhen laughed loudly and said: "That's wrong, I'm afraid that she will get involved with my good brother."
Li Cai laughed endlessly.
Jiang Shangzhen said with a playful smile: "Sister Li, let's make a bet. If I lose, I will just let it go. But if you lose, sister Li, will you be the nominal worshiper of my new sect in Shujian Lake?"
Li Cai nodded and said, "Okay!"
Jiang Shangzhen looked strange, "Sister Li personally learned about my gambling skills back then. Why are you so happy this time?"
Li Cai smiled and said: "My disciple needs to be in seclusion for thirty years. Can that young man wander around Luzhou in Beiju for thirty years?"
Jiang Shangzhen reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the female sword fairy, "Good sister, please spare me this time?"
Li Cai looked lonely and asked, "Can't you just like one person?"
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said, "Let's wait until the day when Sister Li is at a higher level than me."
Li Cai sighed, cut off some ripples with his heart sword, and went to the Skeleton Beach with Jiang Shangzhen, and took the Pima Sect cross-continental ferry to Aquarius Continent.
It is said that the bastard next to me is going to a place called Luopo Mountain in Longquan County of Dali to ask for a name to be enshrined in the name of Yuanying Realm Zhou Fei.
Judging from his tone, it seems that it may not be possible yet.
Li Cai turned around and glanced at Jiang Shangzhen, who was thinking quietly.
If you laugh and talk to others, you deserve a beating.
When you are not smiling, you are very serious.
It is a pity for such a person. It is said that the only woman he could not let go of in his life turned out to be an ordinary woman at the foot of the mountain. He had never touched her. He just watched her get married and have children. She grew old and gray-haired, and passed away peacefully without any disasters.
Li Cai hesitated for a moment, "Jiang Shangzhen, if you met the same woman again today, would you still like her so much?"
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Li Cai was a little confused.
Jiang Shangzhen said slowly: "For the first time in my life, I saw a graceful girl in the mountains and fields, climbed high and saw the majestic mountains and rivers, raised my head and saw immortals soaring in the clouds, and watched the sun and moon hanging in the sky while riding the wind. It is a completely different scenery from the many similar scenes I have seen in the future. It may not necessarily be the same.
It must be so beautiful when you first meet someone, but that feeling lingers in your heart and will never be forgotten for thousands of years."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled again and turned around, "Just like when I first met Sister Li, she was walking up the fragrant steps with her socks on and her gold-leafed shoes in hand..."
Li Cai said angrily, "Shut your stupid mouth!"
Jiang Shangzhen said softly: "Madam, please don't be shy, my husband is upset."
Yuhu County, Huaihuang Kingdom.
There are many notices posted by the government and wealthy families at the gate of the county city. They all ask experts to do things at their homes. Most of them end with words saying that they will be rewarded with a lot of money. As for the specific amount of silver, there is no word.
carry.
Chen Pingan carefully read the notices under the wall. It seemed that there was quite a chaos inside and outside the county.
After purchasing some dry food items in the county town, Chen Ping'an settled in an inn that night and sat on the roof of the house drinking quietly at night.
Sure enough, on the streets of the county town late at night, there was a snow-white figure flying around, sticking out her tongue, and her face was distorted. Her feet were off the ground and she was floating around. However, she had a weak evil spirit. As long as there was a door god posted on every house, no matter whether there was a door god or not,
She didn't want to be pregnant with spiritual energy at all. Now the county guards have been replaced by two bold young men with strong yang energy. The Yamen also specially gave them a reward, which can buy two bottles of wine every day. The white-clothed female ghost hanged
She wanted to get close to them several times, but as soon as she got close, she was knocked back by the invisible Yang Qi. After hitting the wall several times, she walked away in despair, and went to some poor people in the market to scratch the walls of the Chaimen courtyard. Some of them were deeply sleepy and snoring.
Ru Lei couldn't hear anything outside at all, except for some people who were sleeping lightly, shivering with fear, which made her giggle, which made her even more frightened.
Chen Ping'an saw that the hanged man had not really entered the house and harmed anyone, so he pretended not to have seen it.
Lie on the eaves, cross your legs, take out the folding fan and gently shake the breeze.
The most fearful thing about veins is that they will stretch out, and the two ends cannot be seen clearly. Once they reach the blue sky and fall down to the underworld, there will be past and next lives. The height, height, and front and back are all uncertain.
What's more, I'm afraid that the branches on a line will intertwine and fork out countless thin lines, and good and evil will be blurred and intertwined, creating a mess.
Especially when a line is stretched and it is no longer just a matter of fact, then the further you look, the more difficult it will be.
Just like the female ghost scares people and disturbs the people, it is not wrong for any cultivator to kill her, and it is reasonable to accumulate evil virtue. But if we look a little further, the ordinary people around Yuhut County know that there are things between heaven and earth.
Ghosts, when you have evil thoughts in your life and want to do evil in the future, do you have to think more about the saying that good and evil are rewarded, and the world is reincarnated? That female ghost wanders around at night, as long as she has never really harmed anyone, how should she calculate right from wrong?
Right or wrong? Or why did she hang herself to death back then, was able to persist in her obsession and became a ghost, and what kind of injustice did she suffer?
Chen Pingan closed his eyes and slept until dawn.
Nowadays, practice happens everywhere and all the time, so it doesn’t matter how you travel at the moment or how fast or slow you go.
In the early morning of that day, when Chen Ping'an left the city, he saw a group of four people carelessly unveiling a government official list. It seemed that they were going directly to find trouble with the group of ghosts who had stolen the temple.
Chen Pingan was a little confused. These four people, two women and two men, were not wearing bright clothes. They were not pretending to be poor, but they were really not rich. The oldest one was a middle-aged man with a second-level martial arts training. That young man should be
She is his disciple, barely a pure martial artist. As for the two women, they look like they are sisters. They are also Qi practitioners who have just set foot on the path of spiritual cultivation. The spiritual energy contained in the Qi palace is so weak that it can almost be ignored.
If the great monk from Mengliang Kingdom pretending to be a storyteller could let Chen Pingan see the cultivation level of a second-level qigong practitioner, but he was still wary of it, it was actually due to the weather.
The four men and women in front of me are really just shallow.
It's probably not difficult to deal with the white-clothed hanged female ghost floating around the county town, but the temple outside the city is clearly filled with swarms of ghosts, and they dared to occupy a temple that was originally popular and drove out all the monks. The four of them
People should be difficult to deal with. If you are not careful and don't use the bottom of the box to save your life, you may end up making dumplings in that temple.
Chen Pingan thought for a while and did not go out of the city directly. He listened to the whispers of the four of them that they thought no one could hear. They were trivial words about going to the shops in the city to buy more yellow paper to draw more talismans and grinding the gold ingots on their bodies into gold powder.
A young girl with two blushes on her cheeks said that it would be best to ask the government for a deposit, and then go to the Chenghuang Temple and Man Mo Temple to borrow some incense-infused utensils through the official documents of the county guard. We would have a better chance of winning.
If it is bigger, the trip to Jinduo Temple will be more secure.
The young man complained a little, saying why he didn't subdue those fox spirits and rabbit monsters. With two rewards in total from the government and the wealthy family, it would be easier to earn money and the risk would not be great.
The slender, middle-aged older woman explained to the young man in a low voice that once the ghosts of Jinduo Temple knew their whereabouts, they would be on strict alert and it would be even more difficult to succeed.
Chen Pingan listened to their conversation in a very serious tone, not at all relaxed. He was not as heroic as when the man took off the plaque.
Chen Ping'an left the county town and went to the Jinduo Temple outside the city, which was thirty miles away.
Then we stopped at a roadside pavilion seven or eight miles away from Jinduo Temple, where we rested and waited. Outside the pavilion was the gurgling stream of the mountain.
I waited until noon to see the four people in the group.
Chen Ping'an didn't wait for them to approach and started walking towards Jinduo Temple.
Carrying a bamboo box on his back and holding a hiking pole, he slowed down his pace, like a frail scholar struggling to walk.
The four of them quickly followed the scholar in white. When they passed each other, the leading man was holding a large incense stick. He glanced at the man and quickly looked away. The seemingly honest and dull boy grinned.
Laughing, the scholar also smiled with him, and the young man laughed even harder. Even though he had turned his head, he did not immediately close his mouth.
The older woman frowned, but did not speak. Her sister wanted to speak, but she grabbed her sleeve and signaled her sister to stay quiet. The girl gave up, but the girl with two natural blushes walked out a few steps later.
, still couldn't help but turned around and asked with a smile: "You, a scholar, are you going to Jinduo Temple to burn incense? Don't you know that all the people in Yuhu County are not going, but you are better off, are you just trying to get the first incense?"
"
The scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath, and said with a smile: "I just came to Yuhu County. A friend of mine is familiar with the monks of Jinduo Temple. He said that he can stay and study there. It is clean and does not cost money.
.”
Just as the girl was about to speak, her sister pinched her arm. The pain made her wrinkle her face. She turned around and whispered: "Sister, it's broad daylight and the sun is shining brightly. There won't be ghosts from temples nearby to spy on the news."
If scholars follow us to Jinduo Temple, and when we fight with those ghosts, should we save them or not? It would be more difficult not to save them. Anyway, if we don’t save them, we will just kill the demons and earn money. I still can’t bear it in my conscience. I
I need to inform him and ask him not to go and die in vain. There is nothing difficult about reading. He has to rush into the ghost cave. This guy is really bad. He has such bad luck. He won't be named on the gold list at a glance.
Good luck."
Her sister sighed and flicked the girl's forehead hard with her finger, "Try to speak as little as possible. If you stop the scholar, you are no longer allowed to be willful. You must obey me on this trip to Jinduo Temple!"
The girl was so happy that she slowed down her pace and walked side by side with the scholar, getting further and further away from the three people in front of her.
The girl's first sentence was very clever, "Has this scholar ever been married? What do you think my sister looks like?"
The foreign scholar who was on a study tour laughed and said, "Girl, please don't say it's a joke."
The girl suddenly smiled and said, "I'm teasing you."
Then the girl said with a straight face, "The next step is no longer a joke. The Jinduo Temple is very dangerous now. A large group of vicious ghosts appeared out of nowhere and drove away the monks in the dusk. Even an abbot who knew some Buddhism died there.
They were killed on the spot, and many monks and pilgrims who could not escape died. They occupied the temple, but they are really good at eating people, so you should not go there. There is not a single bald monk in the temple now. I am not trying to scare you, if you don’t believe it
, you can go to the county and ask around. If I lie to you, your trip will be in vain, but if I don’t lie to you, wouldn’t you die in vain? How can you get fame and glory? "
The scholar asked: "Then how do you burn incense?"
The girl stamped her foot and said, "Can't you see that we are capable people who can conquer demons and eliminate demons?!"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Where are the monsters and monsters in the world? Girl, please stop tricking me."
The woman and the man in front looked at each other and shook their heads.
The young man even twitched his lips.
Only the girl with pleasing blush was a little anxious, "My sister said that you scholars are stubborn and it's the hardest to turn back. If you continue to be so ignorant, I will knock you out with a punch and then leave you in the pavilion.
Yes, but this is also dangerous. If one or two ghosts escape at night and smell human scent to them, you will still die. You stupid goose who has become stupid from reading, hurry up and leave!
"
The scholar said stupidly: "I'm starving right now, and I'm short of money. I really can't afford to walk back and forth from the county. I'll take a look outside Jinduo Temple later. If there are really no pilgrims or monks, I'll turn around immediately."
Just leave.”
The young girl lamented: "My sister said that those profound ghosts can use magical powers, cover the sky with evil energy, and avoid the sun with black clouds. How can you run away then?"
The girl shouted forward: "Sister, I'd better take this silly goose back to the county town first. At worst, I'll run faster and I'll reach Jinduo Temple before dark."
Her sister said angrily: "We have chosen the time in advance. We are worried that the ghosts in the temple may appear during the day, so we try to put up as many talismans as possible. Once the evil ghosts can control the dark clouds and cover the temple, what will we do without you?
, do you want to help the three of us collect the bodies afterwards? Have you forgotten about the incident before?!"
The girl was unhappy. She made a cry, looked downcast, and said to the scholar: "Scholar, let's go. We don't know each other. We won't make fun of you and deliberately lie to you about Jinduo Temple being haunted by ghosts."
But the scholar made her so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, and he insisted on going to the entrance of Jinduo Temple to have a look.
She was about to reach out and punch him, but he was kind enough to treat her like a donkey, but she couldn't just watch him risk his life.
Unexpectedly, the nerd took a step back and said, "Girl, don't hit people. A gentleman talks but doesn't fight. If I knock you out and leave you alone in the pavilion, someone will steal my bamboo box. You
Compensate me?"
The girl turned around, quickly followed her sister, and raised her hand to wipe her face vigorously.
She wondered how there could be such unconscionable people in the world.
She was almost heartbroken to death.
But she couldn't help but turn around and see that the guy was really following her.
When she was hesitating whether to take a black punch, good guy, he wasn't smart when he should be smart, and he wasn't stupid when he should be stupid. He actually stood still and didn't move forward.
Just as the girl was about to scold him, her sister grabbed her arm and said, "Stop being ridiculous!"
The girl lowered her head.
Chen Pingan smiled knowingly.
It seems like I let a good man down.
He still followed slowly, the distance between the two sides getting further and further away.
The girl just wanted to turn around, but her sister angrily said: "You have to kill us to make you happy, right? Aren't you afraid that that person is actually an evil accomplice?"
The girl finally stopped turning around.
Walk with your head lowered, taking a pebble with each foot.
Her sister lamented, "With your temper, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. We have seen good intentions and evil retribution along the way, okay?"
The girl said oh and did not refute.
In the distance, the scholar in white was bored and moved the stones back to their original positions with a hiking stick, smiling and saying: "Is this really true?"
Approaching Jinduo Temple, the girl turned her head secretly. The mountain road was twisting and turning, but the scholar could no longer be seen.
The four of them walked another mile, and their vision suddenly became clearer. The young woman looked solemnly and said, "We're here."
The man nodded.
I saw that the faint evil spirit in Jinduo Temple was flowing erratically, but it was extremely thin and dispersed in the wind. The woman said doubtfully: "It seems something is not right. We looked at the temple from a distance last night. There should not be so little evil spirit."
The man thought for a moment and said: "This is a good thing. Maybe the sun is shining brightly in the sky, forcing those filthy ghosts to hide in the ground. It is just time for us masters and disciples to put up talismans, sprinkle glutinous rice to pour blood, and you can set up the formation. Here we are.
At dusk, when there is a lingering light in the sky, we will use thunderous means to beat them out of the ground. These evil creatures will no longer have the right time and place, and we will be safe."
The young woman nodded, turned to her eager sister and said, "Cheer up and don't take it lightly. There are endless tricks of evil beings. If this Jinduo Temple is really a trap that lures the enemy deep into it, we will be in trouble."
Let’s go.”
The girl's eyes sparkled, "Sister, don't worry."
Arriving at the gate of Jinduo Temple, the girl with red cheeks and a strong figure swept up the wall. On the ground in front of the main hall, there were many bones lying on them. They should be the monks and pilgrims who had died unfortunately. She quickly threw a piece of expensive money.
The yellow paper talisman written with gold powder happened to be pasted on the lintel of the main hall door. There was no sign of burning on the talisman. After a moment, she turned around and said: "There are no ghosts in the front hall. Uncle Song can rest assured to paste the talisman on the temple door and enter."
After that, just throw rice around the wall."
Then the two sisters began to enter the temple first. On the walls and pillars, ordinary yellow paper talismans were posted. Only some important places like the plaques on the door of the main hall were pasted with gold powder ground to make ink.
Rare talisman.
The two masters and apprentices even threw the incense sticks casually outside the temple, took off the packages respectively, took out cotton bags containing heavy amounts of old glutinous rice, and several cowhide water bags containing black dog blood, and began
From the front hall, we "set up the formation" in a familiar manner.
Until the end of this vast temple, when the four of them met, they were all safe and sound.
There was only one side hall with a closed door. The girl said that the evil spirit was very strong, so they worked together to post dozens of yellow paper talismans on the doors, windows, and eaves of the roof. The young woman personally posted the talismans on the roof, and then the girl began to put the tiles piece by piece.
Lifting it up and letting the sunlight shine into the side hall, a wailing sound could be heard from inside, as well as the sound of black mist being burned to ashes by the sunlight.
The four of them finally landed at the door of the side hall.
Look at each other and smile.
The young woman is holding a demon-binding rope that she bought when she lost her fortune and paid forty snow coins!
Her sister was even weirder. She had been muttering something before, squatting on the ground, taking out an embroidery bag, and untying the knot, and the ancient copper coins of various shapes rolled and scattered on their own.
As for the master and the disciple, they were bare-handed. However, the man hung a circle of darts on his waist, which were engraved with talismans and seal scripts. They were obviously not the secular weapons of martial arts warriors.
The woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that the evil spirits in the temple are not as advanced as both parties expected, and they are very afraid of the sun. And if nothing unexpected happens, there are not dozens of evil spirits gathering in Jinduo Temple at all. It is just that the people of Yuhut County are too afraid and spread rumors.
Only then did they have the opportunity to make big money.
What a stroke of luck!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s good luck!
Previously at the county magistrate's office, I had a lot of bargaining with the high-ranking official, who coaxed, lied and threatened, and finally got the government's promise of five thousand taels of silver. If it was just this little money, even if they
After going through all kinds of hardships, it is definitely not cost-effective to suppress the ghosts that are entrenched in Jinduo Temple, and it is even more not worth it if there are casualties. However, in addition to the reward offered by the Yamen Office, there is also a large amount of income, so the prefect agreed
The other amount of silver that came down was 30,000 taels of silver that wealthy pilgrims in the city were willing to chip in to top up. In this case, it would be worth the risk to go to Jinduo Temple.
I never thought I would pick up a big leak for nothing.
The man was overjoyed and looked around, feeling very satisfied. As long as he cleaned up the ghosts in the side hall, he could go back home and ask the government office for the 35,000 taels of silver. At that time, they would be divided into 35,000 taels of silver as agreed in advance.
The two masters and disciples should also have ten thousand taels of silver to take the lead.
Sure enough, today is an auspicious day for slaying demons!
Then the two sides began to really take action. When the girl's copper coins circled the side hall, one by one they stood upright. When the girl put her fingers together and recited the chant silently, they immediately dug into the ground. The girl's face turned pale and she looked up.
To his sister.
The young woman nodded and whispered to the man: "My sister and I will go to the roof first to see how deep the ghosts are. If they are forced out, take action immediately. Don't let them escape to the underground of the temple. If
They can't hide, so you might as well demolish this side hall while the sun is still strong. My sister's copper coins can be drawn underground to make a prison, but they won't last long. So we must act quickly when the time comes."
The man nodded and just reminded: "Don't worry."
The two sisters went to the roof of the side hall again and threw yellow paper talismans inside. Occasionally there was a precious talisman with a gold powder seal script pattern mixed in.
The young man also took out a bronze mirror, tilted the mirror, and shined light on the windows of the side hall.
A young scholar in white clothes and carrying a bamboo box was actually sitting on the roof not far away. However, he had a secret carrying stele of Ghost Ax Palace affixed to his body. Given the cultivation level of the four of them, it was natural that they could not see it.
What follows is a "heart-stirring" fight.
Black smoke billowed into the sky, even if it was swarmed with talismans one after another, and the young woman was hit with the demon-binding rope again and again, causing the black smoke to scatter. There were also young men who used bronze mirrors to shine and burn them, and even men who dart penetrated the black smoke.
The smoke seemed to be still raging unbridled after escaping from the cage of the side hall. When the black mist dispersed by the demon-binding ropes, talismans and bronze mirrors floated away, it actually turned into a land similar to a ghost beating a wall.
The four of them were trapped in it. Even if the girl tried her best to control each talisman, she could only transform into slender fire dragons. She could not break through the wall of black fog that blocked the sky and let the sunlight pass through. The four of them were suddenly in danger.
, sisters, the master and the apprentice were back to back, already injured. In order to save the young man holding the mirror, the girl was hit in the back by a black smoke. She vomited blood, but still struggled to get up, and continued to take out a stack of her pens.
The yellow paper talisman was drawn with a pen, and the talisman was thrown away, and finally turned into a talisman fire dragon, which would protect the four people even if it exhausted its own spiritual energy.
The scholar in white frowned, slapped his forehead, and said helplessly: "With your little abilities, you still dare to come to Jinduo Temple to slay demons. I have already helped you kill nine out of ten of the evil creatures.
.”
He smiled slightly and snapped his fingers.
The black smoke that had previously been suppressed by some kind of restraint suddenly stagnated and turned into a ferocious ghost that was more than ten feet tall when it landed. After being exposed to the sun, it was finally killed by the four people in a dangerous situation.
The girl bent over, wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and nose, and said with a bright smile: "Sister, I didn't hold you back this time, did I?!"
The young woman who survived the disaster had red eyes. She walked quickly to her side, supported her sister who was already unsteady on her feet, and glared: "You are trying to be a hero. Stop talking and take good care of yourself."
The young man looked at the shattered ancient mirror in his hand, and then glanced at the panting master next to him. The latter was stunned for a moment, then saw the fierce look in the young man's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded lightly.
The man looked around and laughed and said: "Miss Xining, girl Tsuen, today is a Qingming Festival, and it seems that all the demons have been wiped out. Why don't we just spend the day cultivating in the temple today, and then go to the county town tomorrow?"
The young woman frowned, "Although Jinduo Temple has indeed lost its evil spirit, the evil spirit has been entrenched for a long time after all. If there is a fish that slips through the net, my sister and I have already used up the talismans and are unable to fight anymore, so we should return quickly.
The county town is the best."
The young man shook his head and said: "Sister Xining, if we go too early, the prefect of the county will definitely think that it is too easy for us to conquer the demons. If we really meet a shameless person, five thousand taels of silver is not bad, and it is written in black and white.
, we can probably take it away, but it’s hard to say whether the prefect would have the evil intention to take the 30,000 taels of silver. Not only can we not leave today, but we have to tear down more temple walls before we can get enough.
We must pay a large amount of reward, and we must also deliberately tell the prefect that one or two evil spirits have escaped here. After we take the money, we will need to add another five thousand taels in order to complete the task of eradicating evil."
The girl rolled her eyes, quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away, vomiting blood again, which was a bit embarrassing.
The young woman thought about it, nodded and said with a smile: "That's it. We will return to the county town tomorrow. Let's stay in the temple for one night. My sister just needs a good rest."
At this moment, a panicked scholar in white ran out from the side passage of the front hall, "Why are there so many bones on the ground in the front hall of the temple? Why can't even a single monk see them... Could there really be a demon at work..."
The girl was annoyed by him now, but seeing that he was still alive and kicking around made her feel a little relieved.
After that, the master and the apprentice went to collect the remaining talismans and put the old glutinous rice back into the bag, which would be needed later.
The young woman chose a secluded wing of a temple where wealthy pilgrims could live and copy scriptures. The girl sat cross-legged in the corridor and began to breathe.
Her sister continued to visit various places to avoid any further accidents.
The cowardly scholar insisted on following them, picked up the bamboo box, and sat on the steps as a doorkeeper.
At dusk, the young woman returned, searched for some rare books, scriptures and other items that seemed to be relatively valuable, packed them in a large package, and carried them back.
The girl opened her eyes, smiled at the scholar's back and said, "It's going to be night soon, and a vicious ghost will appear soon. Why don't you run away?"
The scholar in white turned his head and smiled at her: "The book says that people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are more afraid of people's hearts. But I think you are a good person, girl, so it is better to stay with you."
The girl thought hard and raised her fist, "Are you praising me or scolding me? If you keep being such a bastard, be careful of me hitting you?!"
The scholar raised his hands and said, "A gentleman speaks but never uses his hands."
The girl let out a laugh, her playfulness was all over the place, "I am not a gentleman, I am a woman. Come on, let me give you a punch and make you smarter. If you don't even think about it, you will be named on the gold list!"
That man was really a nerd who had read stupidly, and he actually laughed and said: "I think the girl acts openly and aboveboard, has a kind heart, and is no worse than a gentleman."
The young woman looked displeased, "Since the young master is a scholar who claims to be a gentleman, he should know some etiquette for men and women. Why are you still staying here shamelessly? Is it appropriate?"
The girl felt that the scholar had become a little smarter again, so she heard him say: "I am not a gentleman, I am just a poor scholar. There is really a ghost in Jinduo Temple. I can't run out and die. It's better to stay here."
The young woman said sternly: "Get out!"
The girl was about to speak, but was frightened by her sister's glare.
The scholar had no choice but to walk out of the yard with the bamboo box in his arms.
Most likely you were thinking about it on the other side of the wall, facing the wall?
The girl whispered: "Sister, why are you so fierce? You are just a nerd."
The young woman frowned and said: "You need to recuperate now, and you can't make any mistakes. This person appears on the incense burning road, which is already weird. Following us into Jinduo Temple is even more unusual. If he hadn't walked on this road before us,
On the road, let alone driving someone away with words, I will not hesitate to take action against him."
She said softly: "Okay, you continue to rest."
The girl nodded, but still glanced sideways at the courtyard gate.
Her sister laughed angrily and said: "There are no ghosts anymore. There are only five of us alive. He just slept outside in fear for a night. He doesn't worry about your own sister? Nor does he worry about them who are fighting side by side with us.
I am worried about what he will do as an outsider. Why are you tempted when you see that he is a scholar? I told you, this scholar is the most unreliable in the world..."
The girl begged: "Okay, okay, I will practice now and practice well!"
The night falls.
The girl sat on the other side of the corridor, breathing quietly and immersed in her thoughts.
The young woman sat on the steps to take a rest, not daring to fall asleep.
After all, it is at Jinduo Temple.
Suddenly, a handful of darts shot through the air from the courtyard gate.
A familiar figure kept striding forward.
Although the young woman was frightened and shocked, she still rolled her sleeves and scattered those sharp darts.
A sharp knife was thrown straight at her sister's neck, with great force and heavy force. It was a young man squatting on the wall who made the move.
The young woman allowed a dart to be driven into her shoulder and flew away. She grabbed the sharp knife that was only two inches away from her sister's neck with her hand. However, the man who was a pure martial artist had already stepped to her side.
The punch hit her temple, causing her to break through the wall and most of the windows, and she fell into the side room. She vomited blood and struggled several times, but she couldn't get up.
The young man lightly jumped off the wall and said with a wicked smile: "Master, can you please stop killing Tsuen girl? It would be best if Sister Xining is also beaten to death, and the hands and feet of these two gods will be destroyed."
The man raised his palm and slapped it at the girl who forcibly interrupted the conversation. He shook his head and said: "This little girl is more troublesome. Master will help you keep her sister."
The young man laughed loudly and said: "You will gain both wealth and sex!"
The man suddenly turned his head, grabbed the girl's neck with one hand, and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
The young man also quickly came to the man's side.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a head popped out and said timidly: "Buddhist Pure Land, it's not good for you to do these things, isn't it?"
The livid-faced girl moved her lips slightly, as if she wanted to remind the stupid goose to run away.
The man seemed to have seen the girl's appearance, and was stunned for a moment, "This good little girl, you want me to save you? Don't worry, I am the most chivalrous person. I have read so many books by sages. To be honest, I
In fact, if I have accumulated a lot of righteousness, I will be happy a thousand miles away..."
The girl tried her best to shake her head, tears falling down her cheeks.
The little girl has two lumps of blush.
Very cute.
The man's eyes slowly narrowed, and he no longer had that stupid look. He appeared openly from the courtyard gate, raised his hand, snapped his fingers, "Come out, some people in the world of the world deserve to be in the underworld."
The ghost ate to satisfy his hunger."
The two masters and disciples saw a fierce ghost more than ten feet tall walking out from behind the good-for-nothing scholar. His aura was far more violent than the one before.
The man immediately let go of the girl's neck and said, "Young Master is actually the ghost king here. It's all a misunderstanding. In fact, our master and disciple have no intention of offending your place. They are just two cultivators who are greedy for merit and rewards..."
The fierce ghost turned into a ball of billowing black smoke and instantly enveloped the man. His blood and flesh were torn apart, his bones exploded, and his heart-rending screams were heard.
The young man was not frightened by this, and he still had the strength to tiptoe, jump up on the wall, and quickly go away.
Li Gui seemed to have received the order, let go of the dead man, swept across the courtyard wall, and chased after him. Soon, the same tragic sound was heard.
Then a ray of sword light fell from the sky, and the ghost outside wailed loudly, resounding throughout the heaven and earth. It was estimated that it could be heard in the county and city, and it must have scared countless people, but soon the world became silent.
The girl was stunned and asked foolishly: "Are you the King of Ghosts?"
The scholar smiled, sat on the steps and asked, "What do you think?"
The girl suddenly said: "Don't eat me yet, I'll go see my sister first."
The scholar nodded and said, "Okay."
The girl wanted to glare at him, but when she thought that he was most likely the ghost king of Jinduo Temple, she quickly went to see her sister and helped her out of the house.
The young woman smiled bitterly and was speechless, waiting to die.
She could see clearly what was going on outside earlier.
The girl looked at the pool of flesh and blood on the ground, her expression complex and her eyes gloomy.
how so?
Instead of dying at the hands of a ghost, he almost died at the hands of the master and apprentice who traveled most of Huaihuang Kingdom with them.
They usually look pretty good.
When they walked out of the house, the scholar in white had already stood up and walked to the yard. He turned to the little girl and said: "Looking back, your sister will definitely tell you with more certainty that there are always so many bad people in the world. Little girl, you
There is no need to feel disappointed, everything in the world is either always like this or it is right. No matter how many times you have seen and encountered it, over and over again, one after another, I hope you will remember that you are still right."
The man took out a bamboo hat and put it on his head, "You see, good people repay evil people with bad consequences, at least tonight it is true."
After the man walked out of the yard, he suddenly leaned back and said with a bright smile: "Little girl, you are so beautiful. You will definitely find your right husband in the future."
The little girl couldn't help but wipe the tears from her face, "I hate it!"
The little girl suddenly remembered that golden light, her eyes sparkled, "You are actually a sword fairy, right?"
The man slowly stood up straight and said with a smile: "I am a swordsman who is too stupid to read."
After that, the man turned into a white rainbow, rose up from the ground, and headed north. (https:)
