[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

The mirror was dimly lit, and Huai Xu was leaning on the soft couch, peeking into the secrets of Butler Xie through the eyes of Guard Jiang. Although he couldn't see the truth, what happened can only be deduced.

This mirror can see but can't hear, you can see people's shadows going back and forth, and Huai Xu is a little tired from watching.Flicking his sleeves and covering the mirror, Huai Xu felt a little vigilant, but he wasn't too worried. In fact, it wasn't worth bothering. It was nothing but a mob. How much was it worth thinking about?Not to mention Guanzhu Wang of Shuiyun Temple, even Wushui Shuijun, in front of the Great City God, can't order Huaihuai.

Jiazi years ago, the evil Buddha went south and used the evil method to disrupt the righteous way. After several Buddhist schools were wiped out one after another, all the righteous ways in the world retreated.Righteous way shrinks, way eliminates demons and grows. Today, six out of ten practitioners walking in the world are evil ways.

The so-called world will be chaotic, and there will be evildoers.Huai Xu was born out of chaos, born out of evil ways, but he corrected the evil and returned to the right way, and returned to the right way.It seemed to be accidental, without any reason, but Huai Xu himself couldn't tell what it was.

Sometimes, Huai Xu feels that he has a sense of mission, but in fact, he knows that he cannot avoid it long ago.

What he received was the precepts and dharma of the Great Master, what he received was the kindness and resentment from Lanruo Temple, and what he received was the enmity and enemies of the dynasty.In just over sixty years, Huai Xu has grown from an old Huai Xu to today's Earth Immortal. Could it be that the coincidence of fate was accidental?

Huai Xu lowered his eyes to think, cleared his mind, and a kind of courage to swallow mountains and rivers rose from his chest.Indecisiveness leads to disaster.If one can achieve Taoism and ascend to immortality behind closed doors and mountains, how can there be seniors who have been trapped to death since ancient times.

Rather than being passively involved in this vortex, it would be better for him to handle it himself and stir up the fate. What will happen in the end remains to be seen.

Huai Xu squinted his eyes, and the pride in his heart settled down, turning into a cloud of magic power flowing in his body when he breathed out. When he became stronger, everything would naturally get better, because nothing could stop him.

Steward Xie asked Yan Chixia to get in the car, got out of the car at the old house, served tea, and said, "Daoist Yan and the tree demon have a problem?"

Naturally, Yan Chixia and Huai Xu did not have any problems, but he failed to get rid of the demon last time, and instead was startled back, naturally dissatisfied in his heart.He knew that if he said there were no festivals, he would not be able to reassure Mr. Xie, so he said: "I met him once in Montenegro, but it just didn't work out."

This is another ex-vengeance, and the smile on Steward Xie's face increased a little.

"Daoist Yan, Guanzhu Wang doesn't want to get into this muddy water. He must fight against that monster, but he may not be able to win. Yan Dao is always green, so I don't know if he can be sure?"

Although Yan Chixia didn't like her senior uncle's fearful temperament, she would not arrange her own senior uncle in front of outsiders, saying: "My senior uncle has profound morals, if he can't surely win, I may not be able to."

Steward Xie knew it well, pressed his thoughts, and said: "Then please ask Daoist Yan to stay in the small house for a few more days, I still have a few powerful friends to invite."

Yan Chixia shot him a sideways look, and said, "Hey, it's okay, I have my own place to go, just call someone, I'll come back in three days."

Steward Xie didn't trust his ability, Yan Chixia knew it well, but he really wasn't sure of victory, even though he agreed, he couldn't help feeling underestimated.

Yan Chixia put the cup away, turned around and left the Shen residence, and disappeared.

Steward Xie respectfully sent him away, but he didn't care about it in his heart, secretly said: "So what if it's a disciple of Zhengyang Palace, Zhengyang Palace still wants to retreat in front of the Master of the State Teacher, a junior, even if he has some skills, what is there to do?" Crazy?"

Butler Xie was limited by his talent, he just entered the door of cultivation for the first time, and he couldn't advance an inch. Later, he offended a powerful opponent and was hunted down by his enemies. It was Shen Yutang who saved his life, so he became a big butler in Shen's family in return for his kindness. .But Housekeeper Xie has a few powerful friends, known as the Three Heroes of Ludi, who have been invited to help the Dharma.

Steward Xie fiddled with the iron guts in his hands, coughed twice, and secretly said: "I have been hanging out in the world for a long time, even with the financial support of the Shen family, I have not been able to heal my old wounds. Forget it, this time To solve this worry for Mr. Shen, and to save my life, I will go back to the mountain to practice Taoism with my three elder brothers. Although there may not be any breakthrough, it is good to prolong my life for a few years."

Steward Xie injured his Yuanshen while fighting against his enemies, and fell on the mountain road. He was rescued by Shen Yutang and returned to the mansion. He was saved, but suffered from frequent palpitations and restlessness.Over the years, he has used the power of the Shen family to buy some treasures that will calm his mind and nourish his soul, but there has been no improvement.

In the world, karma is hard to repay, and kindness is the most difficult to repay.Eat the king's salary, relieve the king's worries.Housekeeper Xie knew that this was a quagmire, and he already had the idea of ​​getting out.

Not long after Yan Chixia left Shuiyun Temple, Guanzhu Wang realized that he had disappeared, and he was terrified in his heart. When he calculated his whereabouts with the Da Yan technique, he found nothing.

Wang Guanzhu squinted his eyes, and said: "Brother dotes on him too much, even gave him a treasure to avoid the calculation of the heavenly secrets, if there is a ray of wind and water, aren't you afraid that he will fall into a big stumble?"

Wang Guanzhu didn't know that Yan Chixia's master was so regretful that her guts were green. Yan Chixia got a treasure that could deceive the sky, so she went down the mountain privately. Even he couldn't figure it out, so she sent letters everywhere to ask.

Wang Guanzhu had some calculations in his heart, knowing that Yan Chixia would not be obedient if he didn't let Yan Chixia suffer, so he told his disciples, "I heard that Lanruo King and Heishan Mountain God supported each other, they have returned to the right path, and opened the ghost market again. , send me a congratulatory gift."

"By the way, I have a handwritten letter, which must be delivered to King Lan Ruo in person."

It was already the second day when Huai Xu received the handwritten letter.

Wang Guanzhu's disciples did not find Huai Xu on the mountain, so they had to ask Master Quan to forward Huai Xu, and Master Quan asked the sullen Bai Xianzhi to deliver the handwriting overnight.Bai Xian confiscated all the property in several private treasuries within a day, and his face was not in a good mood.

Huai Xu took a look at the handwritten book, chuckled, and put the book away.Bai Xianzhi stretched his face from behind and asked, "Senior brother, what are you writing?"

Huai Xu said: "Wang Guanzhu of Shuiyun Temple, asked me to help him teach his nephew."

Bai Xianzhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Who is it?"

Huai Xu saw that he was eager to try, and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to the Shen family's old house more often."

Bai Xianzhi raised his brows, chuckled, and said: "No." Bai Xianzhi was not happy to see Huai Xu order him around, making him appear to be very cheap.What's more, Huai Xu stole his private property, no matter how he thinks about it, he will not be happy.

Huai Xu put his hands in his sleeves, watched the child turn and run away, and smiled softly.Bai Xianzhi is just a teenager now, and he is also a teenager at heart, young and young, always jumping out.Sometimes, it is also duplicity.

Bai Xianzhi went out and turned a corner, then walked along the flowing water in the city.After walking through the market, I bought candied haws and chestnuts, and strolled in Changping Lane.The Shen family's old house is in Changping Lane, and those who live in Changping Lane are either rich or expensive.

The vines climbing the wall are lush with green leaves, the flowers have withered, and the voices of people in the courtyard are cheerful.Bai Xianzhi found a house, lay on the roof of the house, and muttered: "Boring."

The sun was shining brightly, the autumn air was crisp, and there were a few wisps of white clouds drifting across the blue sky.

Huai Xu tied up his hair, dressed in Tsing Yi, and dressed as a scholar, no different from the students in Jinhua Academy.Chen Daonian is the master of Jinhua Academy, and both Zhang Litang and Chen Ning are studying in the academy.

Huai Xu stood at the entrance of the school and looked at Zhang Litang and Chen Ning. The master was talking about strategies. Huai Xu listened for a while and felt that it was not to his liking, so he turned and left. From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that he had come.

It didn't go far, Huai Xu saw Zhang Litang's book boy Qingqiu, Qingqiu was with Chen Ning's boy, when Huai Xu walked by, Qing Qiu seemed to be aware of looking in Huai Xu's direction, with a pair of Eyes, with a faint blue light.

Huai Xu looked interesting, with Qingqiu's eyesight, it was impossible to see his whereabouts, but he was surprised that Qingqiu had already learned to use the fox pill in his body.It's not easy for beasts to practice, and I don't know whether Qingqiu's father or mother sent the fox pill in Qingqiu's body, and scattered all his practice.

Mostly it is pity for the world's parents, but how do you know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"Qingqiu, what are you looking at?" Chen Ning's servant asked.

Qingqiu blinked his eyes, recovered his senses and said: "It's nothing, what did you just say?"

The voice gradually weakened, and Huai Xu was enjoying the autumn in the academy, but it was not aimless.

Wherever there are people in the world, there will be disputes, and where there are people, there will be injustice.Although some people were born rich and honored, they are just gold and jade covered with rags; some people were born poor, but they are rough jade wrapped in stone.When it is not carved, it is inconspicuous, but once it is carved, it will glow with unparalleled brilliance.

There are quite a few poor students in Jinhua Academy, most of these students are huddled together to keep warm, so as not to be bullied by the children of the aristocratic family.Fortunately, in the academy, the competition is based on talent and talent, and generally speaking, no major incidents can be caused.

However, it is not true that there will be no major incidents.

Zhai Yangsheng is a native of Tiantai County. He came to Jinhua to study. His parents were bereaved, and he had to sell his old house to spend money to come to Jinhua.Zhai Yangcheng lived a poor life on weekdays, but he was a generous person. If a friend came to ask for help, he would help him with all his money. Unfortunately, he mistakenly handed over to the bandit and kidnapped him. Now he has been reduced to boarding in Fu'an Temple outside the city. for a living.

Chen Daonian took pity on his talent and learning, so he often supported him, and the monks in the temple also took good care of him.Now that the autumn is getting heavier and the weather is getting colder, he can't even add a piece of clothes, so he can only bear it, and because he offended a family member a few days ago, he can't even go back to Fu'an Temple.

Thanks to a fellow villager who was willing to take him in, he was saved from sleeping on the streets.But today, fellow villagers can't help him anymore.

"I'm really sorry, brother Zhai, it's not that my younger brother doesn't want to help, it's just...it's because we are weak."

Of course Zhai Yangcheng knew why, he offended the nobleman, and the nobleman asked him not to stay in Jinhua, how could anyone dare to take him in.

Zhai Yangcheng just smiled and said: "Brother Qu, there is no need to blame yourself. The disaster I caused myself should not have caused Brother Qu."

Qu Scholar looked ashamed, took out his savings, and said, "Brother Zhai, I can only help you here."

Di Yangcheng didn't pretend to be lofty, and accepted it calmly, saying: "Brother Qu, if you go to a place where Zhai is needed in the future, just ask."

Zhai Yangsheng bid farewell to his fellow countrymen, and he didn't have the mood to stay in the academy any longer. He turned around and left the academy, and met a hunter.

The Orion was holding a cage in his hand, and in the cage was a fox with a broken leg.The little fox kept whining, and when he saw Zhai Yangcheng, he shed tears endlessly.

Zhai Yangcheng struggled in his mind, and called Orion to stop him, "Brother, do you want to sell this fox?"

Orion looked at him like that, and said with a smile: "I said Xiucai, don't you want to buy it and release it? Don't blame me for not reminding you, I don't remember this ghost thing well. It's just a beast, not a human being."

Di Yangcheng frowned, and said, "Are you selling it or not?"

Orion chuckled, and said, "Well, if I didn't tell you, I don't think you look rich, so I'll sell you for a tael of silver."

Zhai Yangcheng squeezed the purse, took out the broken silver in the purse, handed it to Orion, and said: "There are only so many, there are still shortcomings, please help me."

Orion glanced at him, sighed, handed him the cage containing the fox, and said, "That's it."

Holding the cage containing the little fox in his hand, Zhai Yangcheng couldn't help smiling wryly. He lifted the cage, stretched out his hand to tease the little fox, and said, "Little thing, for you, I'm going to sleep on the street today."

The little fox whined and licked his finger.

Di Yangcheng's heart softened, he sighed, he carried the little fox out of the city, brought him to the woods outside the city, opened the cage, and said, "Go, don't let anyone catch you next time."

The little fox nodded at him, then limped into the woods.

Zhai Yangcheng watched the fox walk away, gave a wry smile, and turned back to the city.

Not long after Zhai Yangcheng left, Huai Xu in a Confucian shirt appeared next to the wooden cage. Huai Xu reached out and pulled out a picture scroll from his sleeve. When he unfolded the scroll, the wooden cage turned into black smoke and dust, adhering to the picture scroll like ink On the ground, the black smoke and dust disappeared, and on the scroll, there was a picture of a hunter hunting a fox. Whether it was a hunter or a fox, the tools were as lifelike as if they were living people.

"Fantasy empty flowers, which one is fake and which one is real?"

Huai Xu chuckled, and shook the other picture in his arms, the ink on the picture turned into flying smoke, leaving only a piece of snow-white rice paper.

It is not enough to test a person's character just once. "I will test you three times today, and if you are as I think, I will give you a chance."

"There is no light in the east and light in the west. How can you know that it is a blessing? Although you have no official luck, you have Dao Qi. The world of mortals is over. If you follow me back to the mountains to practice Taoism, it will be a good talk."

When Huai Xu tried Zhai Yangsheng for the third time, three strong Taoist priests in Taoist robes entered Jinhua.The three Taoist priests were very similar in appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong physique. When they walked together, it was almost impossible to tell who was who.These three are the Three Heroes of Ludi, three brothers of the same mother and compatriots, who practiced Taoism at the foot of Taihang Mountain all the year round.

After entering Jinhua, Zhenshan said: "Brother Xie invited us to help the Fa. I don't know where he is now?"

Zhenlu replied: "I have a way to find people, brother, don't worry." Taoist Zhenlu held Steward Xie's post in his hand and cast a spell with his thoughts, only to see a gossip map appearing on the post, pointing to a place in Jinhua City.

"found it."

Taoist Zhenlu pointed out the direction, and the three of them headed for the Shen family's old house.While passing through the market, the Taoist from Zhenhai stopped suddenly.The three brothers are triplets, if one has feelings, the others will feel the same way.Zhenshan and Zhenlu followed the eyes of Taoist Zhenhai and saw a [-]-year-old girl with two servants shopping for vegetables.This young girl has a graceful figure, she talks and smiles, she is very delicate and cute.

Taoist Zhenshan focused his eyes and said, "It's weird."

It's not weird, it was Yan'er, Huang Liulang, and Huang Shilang who bought it.

The three brothers saw something wrong, as if it was a ghost or a demon, but this kind of induction was extremely subtle, and it would be ignored if you didn't pay attention.

Being stared at by these three people, Yan Er, Liu Lang, and Shi Lang felt it immediately.Yan'er's hands stopped, and at the same time, Liulang and Shilang turned their heads to look, and saw three Taoist priests, who were aggressive, and the smile on their faces disappeared immediately.

Yan'er sneered, the expression on his face was both indifference and disdain.Yan'er turned her head and said: "Don't look, it may not be for us, if it is for us, you should go first and find Aunt Rong or the king."

Shi Lang said, "What about Sister Yan'er?"

Yan'er smiled, and said: "I have a physical body, and I don't have the seal of the king to protect me. Even if they catch me, they can't do anything to me. What's more, they may not be able to catch me yet."

Yan'er took a Chinese cabbage and put it in Liulang's basket, and already sensed the imposing manner behind him.

Zhenhai Taoist said: "In broad daylight, evildoers are arrogant!"

Taoist Zhenshan had already stepped forward, and the three of them walked towards Yan'er.

Yan'er said: "Let's go." He stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Lang and Shi Lang.

Liu Lang and Ju Lang didn't hesitate, they threw down their vegetable baskets, turned around and got into the crowd.

Taoist Zhenshan said: "Go after him!" He also stepped in front of Yan'er and grabbed Yan'er's wrist.

Yan'er swung his body and retreated sharply. At the same time, a stream of white air in his hand turned into a crane's beak and pecked at Taoist Zhenshan's outstretched hand.

Taoist Zhenshan's hand was like a rock, and he slapped Bai Qi, shattering every inch of Bai Qi's row, and firmly clasped Yan'er's wrist.

"Monster!" Taoist Zhenshan shouted, and the sound exploded like a bell.

Yan'er's face changed drastically, and then he shouted: "Come here, you are indecent, you stinky Taoist priest, how dare you grab my hand and still not let me go!"

Taoist Zhenshan's face was livid, and he raised his palm to cover Yan'er's head.Yan'er was neither surprised nor annoyed, and said: "Where did the wild way come from, who wants to commit murder in the street, is there really no kingly law?"

With this sentence, a group of people has already gathered in the downtown.Taoist Zhenshan didn't know Yan'er's ability, if she ran away with a slap and killed someone in the street, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash away.

Taoist Zhenshan said: "You monster, you come out to harm people in broad daylight, and now you dare to spout blood!"

Yan'er said: "I'm an evildoer? I harm people? Open your eyes and see, I don't look like a evildoer, and who have I harmed? You Taoist priest, you have a little bit of rules and regulations? Don't let go! "

Taoist Zhenshan already regretted that he made a move in the busy city. He didn't expect to cause such a big trouble. How dare he let go now. Not only will his reputation be ruined, but the evildoer will also be unable to catch him.

Taoist Zhenshan clasped Yan'er's wrist, seemingly making Yan'er's wrist turn red, but he was actually suppressing Yan'er's magic power.

There were more and more people watching, pointing and pointing at Taoist Zhenshan, and some people reported to the officials.Seeing that things are getting worse and worse, Dao Zhenshan said humanely: "Monster, you don't have to pretend to be innocent, if you dare to come out in the daytime to harm people, the poor Taoist will definitely not tolerate you."

"Taoist Wuna, this girl has often come to my place to buy vegetables these past few months, why is she a monster?" the uncle who bought vegetables shouted.

When he said this, many people agreed, Yan'er went down the mountain every month to buy, and every time she bought a lot of things, everyone in the market knew her.

Taoist Zhenshan sneered, and said: "Stupid! The evildoer knows the art of illusion, how can mortals see through it."

"Since you say she is a monster, you have to show evidence, otherwise, you don't have to leave today, and we will talk about it when the officials come!" Another person shouted.

Zhenshan said humanely: "Evidence? If you want evidence, I will give you evidence!"

Taoist Zhenshan raised his hand and was about to touch Yan'er's chest. Yan'er said, "Taoist priest, your accent is not from the local area. You are so presumptuous. Do you really think that there is no one in Jinhua? If you want evidence, who knows?" Are you going to cast a spell?"

Taoist Zhenshan ignored him completely, and pointed at Yan'er's chest with enough magic power. He pointed his finger through his chest, and saw a blood hole appearing behind Yan'er, and blood gushed out. Yan'er pointed at Taoist Zhenshan with wide eyes. , opened his mouth and started to spurt blood, and then fell limp to the ground, seeing that he was dead.

Taoist Zhenshan's face turned black. He clearly felt that Yan'er's body was not human-like. When he pointed to it, he could clearly hear the sound of broken porcelain, but the people around him didn't hear it at all, and they were all blinded by Yan'er's illusion.Even though he knew it was an illusion, Taoist Zhenshan couldn't break the illusion, he was not proficient in this method, the most brutal way to break the illusion was to beat Yan'er to death.But the crowd was so angry that he could no longer tolerate him.

Yan'er's unrepentant eyes seemed to be mocking, Taoist Zhenshan crushed Yan'er's wrist with a snap, and in the eyes of others, he was the one who killed Yan'er first, and then broke her wrist.

"Murder! The Taoist priest killed!"

The people around rushed up, and the benches, poles, and baskets were all thrown at Taoist Zhenshan. Taoist Zhenshan suffered several times in his life before he squeezed away from the crowd and escaped with a spell.

The whole bazaar exploded into chaos.

Zhenshan Taoist escaped from the market, and after a while, Zhenhai and Zhenlu Taoists came over, "How about it, have you caught the other two?"

Taoist Zhenhai shook his head, and said: "They escaped through the ground, there are too many people, and they can't use it."

Taoist Zhenshan scolded angrily: "Damn it! Go find brother Xie quickly, I've been tricked by the witch, I'm afraid I'm going to be wanted by the government."

The three joined hands, Taoist Zhenlu led the way, bypassing the crowd, and arrived at the Shen family's old house.

"Huh." Bai Xianzhi sat up straight on the roof not far away, "Interesting."
