The jujube leaves spread their wings, and the pomegranate branches coil around the dragon.
The warm wind circulated around the corridor and poured out of the gate, blowing the hair of the people in front of the door.
Yang Chaoxi stared at Sun Hunian, her eyes were gentle, and the black beard under her chin was getting thicker. The sadness, reluctance and entanglement in her heart actually faded a little after a long time: "Lin'er is Lin'er, and junior sister Qin is junior sister Qin.
, Mr. Yang can naturally tell them apart. They look similar? It’s just a coincidence."
Sun Hu Nian nodded noncommittally, and then asked seriously: "We, the 'Four Beasts of Mang Mountain', pinched earth to make incense and used water instead of syrup to form brothers of the opposite sex, are you still willing to recognize each other?"
Yang Chaoxi knew what he was worried about, and solemnly clasped his fists: "Is it child's play to swear an oath by pointing to the sky and make an alliance with blood? I... decided to leave the mountain, which is both self-exile and self-salvation. If I violate my original intention, I will force myself to stay.
In the mountains, when I look at you all day long, I will only think about the past, and it will become more and more difficult to let go. No matter whether you are practicing Taoism or being a human being, you will only become more narrow-minded and paranoid, let alone meditating and living in peace?
Outside the mountains, the sky is high, the clouds are vast, and there are all kinds of things. It is the best place for us to sharpen our minds, distinguish good from evil, and understand right and wrong! If one day, Mr. Yang can not think about the past, live up to the present, and not be afraid of the future,
You should hang up your sword and return to the mountain, and then sit with your three brothers in the forest and listen to the spring, drinking and talking."
Sun Hunian saw that he had indeed figured out a lot of things, but he still couldn't let go of Niu Pang'er's murder of his love. He didn't dare to force him to persuade him anymore, for fear that it would be counterproductive. So he stepped forward and patted his back and said: "
Brother understands. If Junior Sister Qin is interested in you, it can be regarded as a good match. Brother only hopes that you will return with your spouse as soon as possible."
After all, the words involved Lin'er, so Yang Zhaoxi didn't want to say anything else. He had just received the "Shangqing Hanxiang Sword" from Wu Tianshi, and the first thing that came to his mind was to go to Nan City to find the old beggar Long Zai Tian.
Return this magical weapon to him.
So he cupped his hands and saluted and said: "Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Huang, Boss Sun! I have to go to Nanshi, so I won't stay here much. If the master has something to call me, he can come to Nanshi and ask the beggars to look for me.
.”
Sun Hu thought for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked curiously: "What Nanshi? What beggar? Has Yang Laosan already sneaked in to beg for food?"
When he wanted to ask more details, Yang Zhaoxi had already turned around and disappeared.
Huang Shuo hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Junior Brother Sun, don't chase after him! Chong Lingzi is just a good friend of Nanan City's beggar gang, how can he go begging for food? A monk only goes to beg for alms! No matter how bad we Taoist priests are, we will not be able to meet each other.
, drawing talismans, divination, which one can't make a living?"
"That's true..." After hearing this, Sun Hunian nodded with conviction.
Talking about both ends of the spectrum.
But Liu Xiaomu was sitting in the main room, watching Yang Zhaoxi out of the main hall door with Qin Xiangchu, and then said in a deep voice: "Tianji! There are no outsiders now. If I get any news, I will tell you one by one!"
After saying that, he casually took out the four jade pendants with a cattail pattern, put them together in his palms, and recited the mantra. After the mantra was finished, he opened his jade hands, and the four jade pendants flew to the four corners of the hall, immediately erecting an invisible sound barrier.
Tan Xiangchu was not surprised. He raised his hands to make a flame and said: "Saint aunt, long blessings! The servants and maids in the mansion go to the South City, North City, and West City to hire people. However, no matter how much the foot fee goes up, the servants hear that they are paying for the money."
They were all afraid to bury corpses. I guess it was because Taiwei Palace conducted a large-scale roundup of Zoroastrian people last night, which made people panic, so they didn’t dare to accept this job... However, there were some skinny beggars who gathered around to join in the fun, saying
It only costs half the fee."
Wang Jin had openly taken action, but the Zoroastrian believers could only hide and dodge. Liu Xiaomu's expression was obviously not very good. She pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it! It is a top priority to bury the bodies of the believers as soon as possible. Please help me, beggar."
I have also heard that there are few treacherous people. So you send people to contact them. The more people there are, the better.
When the bodies were found, they were all packed in iron boxes and sent to the dilapidated "Fox Temple" outside Hui'an Gate for safekeeping. Three days later, they were all transported to the "Tower of Silence" in Dongqiu.
Holy burial ceremony. At that time, arrange for all believers who have not been arrested to go with me."
"Magu!" Tan Xiangchu bowed in response, but hesitantly said, "Holy Aunt, the Earth Protector of the Dharma seeks to see you... She said that she failed to protect the 'Saint Girl', and she knew that she was to blame for her death, so she came here to take the blame."
Liu Xiaomu frowned and became angry. Qin Xiangchu suddenly felt a chill coming to his face. With a "pop" sound, he half-knelt on the ground. But he heard Liu Xiaomu say one word at a time: "Call him, come in!"
Tan Xiangchu responded quickly, got up and ran out.
After a while, Protector Tianji walked in quickly, half-kneeling and saluting: "I am not good at martial arts, I have disobeyed the Holy Aunt's instructions! After a fierce battle last night... I was kidnapped by the 'Saint Girl' by the armored guards of Taiwei Palace. I am so humble!"
Come to plead guilty and ask Holy Aunt to punish you!"
Liu Xiaomu saw that his robes were in tatters, his cheeks were stained, and there seemed to be blood seeping out from his right shoulder, under his ribs, left ankle, etc. The anger in his heart subsided a bit: "Except for the 'saint' who was kidnapped, other brothers in the cult
How is it now?"
Tianji Protector said tremblingly: "Those, those armored guards lurked around the Zoroastrian Temple, kidnapped the 'Saint Girl' and then left. I led the detective horses to pursue me, but most of them were injured by their crossbows... Now, now we are all
Hiding in the Lidefang Zoroastrian Temple to recuperate..."
"Ye Sanqiu! Could it be that you think you are a member of the Ye clan, so I wouldn't dare to kill you! Losing the 'Saint Girl' is already a big mistake. Sparing one's life and not pursuing her is making the mistake even worse! You are so smart that you think you should abandon a fake Saint girl.
In exchange for the safety of all brothers, this deal is a good deal, right or wrong?!"
Liu Xiaomu exposed the Tianji protector with one word, and his voice and appearance were already fierce.
"Holy Aunt... you know everything. I don't dare to argue. I ask Holy Aunt to execute the punishment according to the canon." Tianji Protector Ye Sanqiu's face turned pale and he said weakly.
Liu Xiaomu snorted coldly: "Ye Sanqiu, do you think that if you violate the religious rules, you will die?" As she spoke, she flicked her jade hand, and saw a red light shoot out from her middle finger, and penetrated into Ye Sanqiu's eyebrows, "This way'
The essence of Lihuo is sealed into your upper Dantian. If my aunt doesn't take it back after half a month, she will burn your brain to ashes. By then, you will be stupid and stupid, even if you want to die, you will not be able to get it."
"Holy Aunt's magical power! I understand the rules. I just don't know what the Holy Aunt wants me to do?" Ye Sanqiu was sweating coldly. Once these methods of controlling the Niwan Palace were applied, the Holy Aunt's wishes would not be achieved within half a month.
, that is, life is worse than death.
Liu Xiaomu planted the Lihuo Essence in his upper Dantian, so naturally he wanted to keep him useful, to perform meritorious deeds, and to see the consequences. Then he suppressed his anger and asked: "How is it over there at the Zoroastrian Temple now? The armored guards have already been withdrawn.
, or are they still lurking around?”
Ye Sanqiu then straightened up and answered honestly: "Now we are still besieging but not attacking. I don't know what these mail guards want."
Liu Xiaomu nodded slightly: "That's it! Wang Jin was frustrated yesterday and became angry because of shame, but he is not completely crazy. This is not 'siege but not attack', but 'encircle the point and call for reinforcements', just waiting for our believers hiding in the city
, I couldn’t bear my temper and took action, so I could catch them all in one go.”
"Holy Aunt is so wise! What should we do for the present?" The Essence of Lihuo was planted in the Dantian, and it was like a sharp knife hanging above his head. Ye Sanqiu naturally wanted to make up for it, so that the Holy Aunt could take back the Essence of Lihuo earlier.
Refined.
Liu Xiaomu has gradually regained his composure: "I have ordered Tianji Dharma Protector to collect the dead believers. Since you have learned about the search horse, you have ordered them to leave the city cautiously and act with caution to find the brothers who escaped yesterday. Inform everyone that they will be there in three days.
Gathered outside the 'Tower of Silence', they held a holy funeral for the deceased brothers in the church. In this way, searching for the dead and the living, it won't take a few days, and the plan will be completed!"
"Magu!"
Ye Sanqiu responded respectfully. He was about to say a few more compliments, but Liu Xiaomu waved his hand to stop him: "Although this matter is a bit dangerous, it can be done by leaving it to Tan Ma. What I want you to do is another matter.
.”
Although Ye Sanqiu didn't know what was going on, he still put his hands together and said, "Sage, please give me instructions."
The corner of Liu Xiaomu's lips slightly raised: "Last night, my aunt and his entourage took the boat into the city. They left the boat in a hurry and did not have time to bring the bodies of Chishui Protector and other brothers back from the bilge. I am afraid that the boat has already fallen into the hands of the public. So.
This matter requires you to come forward and visit an old friend. He must have a good way to send those corpses out of the city."
Ye Sanqiu looked suspicious: "I wonder which old friend the holy aunt is talking about? I have no clue."
Liu Xiaomu suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "This person calls himself the 'White Mountain Man', and he has been in Luoyang recently. Although the old Taoist Ye Fashan has become an adult, he should always take care of the kindness of his master!"
Ye Sanqiu said with mixed feelings: "Li Changyuan? When I was young, I met this person a few times, but...we couldn't talk about any friendship."
"Oh?" Liu Xiaomu's expression changed, "If you don't give it a try, how will you know the depth of our friendship? If he refuses to help, then my aunt will also give you the 'Essence of Lihuo'."
Ye Sanqiu's face suddenly fell, and he said like a mourning concubine: "I humbly accept my order!"
Outside Changxia Gate, the fields are green and the wild trees are lush.
Several hectares of Taoist fields spread out, with lush millet seedlings like green lichen. As far as the eye can see, it is a prosperous scene.
There are some grave mounds scattered in the field, some are covered with willows, and some are overgrown with weeds. They are obviously old graves. Only one bare earth mound is particularly eye-catching, but it is a new grave. The afternoon sunlight is slightly hot and dazzling.
, there are endless flies in front of the new tombstone, and the stench fills the sky.
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew up, carrying dust and sand, and "crackling" swept away the disgusting flies. The flies fell away, and a tiger head whose skin and flesh rotted and became unrecognizable was instantly exposed to the broad daylight.
The evil wind was green and gray, lingering for a long time, curling into a dragon's whirl, and turning into the appearance of a big man with golden eyes, staring at the tiger's head in front of him, his eyes were filled with surprise, anger, and most of all, a bone-chilling coldness.
"Third brother! I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have capsized in the gutter. It seems that my heritage of the Tiger Clan has completely missed you! I have already advised you to use the 'Morning Dew and Evening Frost Kung Fu' to collect yin and replenish yang, and the 'Blood-Eating Yin Kung Fu'
There is no joy without blood...these little tricks will have limited achievements after all, but you refuse to listen. Today, you are dead and your soul is gone. Do you regret it?"
As the golden-eyed man spoke, his face was filled with disdain and a sneer. The tiger-headed golden pupils had long been broken, and his eyes were hollow, seemingly filled with endless resentment. This golden-eyed man didn't mind the stench that hit his nostrils, so he stretched out his hand and
The tiger patted its head. A stream of blood that did not belong to the tiger's head separated from the broken skin and rotten flesh, and condensed into a blood bean-sized droplet, which was collected into the palm of his hand.
"It turns out to be a human race? Since I, Huo Awu, have traveled here as an immortal today, I will settle this grudge on your behalf. Whoever dares to take action against our tiger clan, whether human or demon, must be prepared to have their entire family slaughtered. Jie Jie
Jie Jie Jie..."
Following the evil bird's surly laughter, the golden-eyed man turned into evil wind again and swept away without a trace.
