"Leader Immortal, let's accept the boy! From now on, our Shen family will take care of all the mountain goods and soju in the charity office for you!"

"No, no, poor Tao is a virtuous person, how can you accept disciples into my sect at will just because of a few pheasants and a few pots of shochu!"

"Old Lu Xiu, don't be shameless, and don't go to Ganzhou City to inquire. Among the mountain delicacies in the ten miles and eight towns, is the one from our Shen family the most delicious and tender? Besides, you are so shameless. We go to our house all day long to beg for wine, and after drinking, we pat our buttocks and leave without paying anything, it is not too much to accept us as apprentices now!"

"If you don't succeed, you won't succeed. Old Daoist, I'm going to do a morning class right now, and the benefactor will return here!"

……

These are some conversations that took place in Ganzhou City Lingxu Palace Charity Office in the early morning. The source of the conversations is naturally the old Taoist Lu Xiu of the charity office, and the old Taoist Lu Xiu is shaking his head like a rattle drum .And the other one was Gou Wa'er who came to visit early in the morning.

Let's say that early in the morning, Gou Wa'er carried the basket of dead bugs and a lively pheasant, said hello to the little Taoist priest who guarded the gate, and then swaggered into the charity office.

It's rare for this old Taoist Lu Xiu to get up early in the morning, and he is in the middle of the courtyard, holding the long sword in a sword dancing posture. Don't look at this old Taoist, although he is a fool, and the boss is not serious, but his body is stronger than those of the same age. The old man is quite tough, and the sword and punch are quite violent.

And according to what he said, this set of swordsmanship for physical fitness was found by his teacher, Jing Zi, from the library for him.And since he entered the Lingxu Palace at the age of seven, he first practiced this set of swordsmanship that imitated the posture of a red-crowned crane. This swordsmanship also corresponded to his Dao name, called the Red Feather Sword.

When he was 12 years old, this old Taoist formally practiced the profound Taoism in that sect, retreated for ten years, and did not achieve great Taoism until he was 25 years old.At the Danyuan Conference in the same year, Lu Xiu's old way was the best. In the fighting ceremony, there was no one among the younger generation. Within the stroke, another young talent was beheaded under the horse.So after this, the name of Taoist Danyu resounded throughout the younger generation of the Taoist school, and was regarded as a myth by many young Taoists, but the leader of the Lingxu Palace, Jingzi, was afraid that his disciples would be too sharp, after all, as the saying goes If you are too rigid, you will be easily broken, and those who are kind and gentle will not be defeated. This Taoist sage has already made it clear, so he asked the Danyu Taoist to guard a cliff in this Lingxu Palace.

So this old Taoist Lu Xiu stayed on this cliff for three to forty years. When Jing Ziyang arranged the affairs of Ganzhou City, he counted his fingers and remembered that this old Taoist Lu Xiu had been in the mountains for a long time. , this son was destined to have such a chance, and it happened to be on the matter of going down the mountain, so he called the Taoist Danyu who had been practicing hard in the mountains all day long, into the Lingxu Hall, and taught the opportunity face to face in front of the Patriarch of the Sanqing, Let him go down to command the Shanshi Department of Ganzhou City, supervise the Taoist sects in the world for the imperial court and Lingxu Palace, and even defend against the invasion of heretics, as the first line of defense against evil spirits. Only those who are powerful can take on the role, and this old Lu Xiu was ordered in the face of danger.So the powerful Master Lu traveled across mountains and rivers, led the twelve Taoist warriors and all the boys through untold hardships, and finally arrived in this remote city, where he built the Lingxu Palace.

According to this old Taoist, the cause and effect are like this.But Gouwa'er looked at the old man's rascally appearance, but he was not as holy and great as he said.

And Gou Wa'er also talked about the past of Lu Xiu's old way with those little Taoist priests who were guarding the door. Among them, the little Taoist Mingli who knew the details said that maybe this Luxiu old way really died decades ago. That Dao Lin Xuan was awesome for a while, but it really has been too long. People who were still alive at that time either entered the Star Watching Palace, or retired and returned to the secular world. It seems that Lu Xiu is indeed the third disciple of Jingyang Zi, but he was sent to guard the cliff, but it was not because he was too sharp.

You must know that in the competition of spells in this sect, among the younger generation, the outstanding people are all arrogant, with their eyes higher than the top. How can other winners be punished to look at the cliff for this reason? At first glance, it is more than 30 years old. Isn't it miserable to suck the wind and drink the dew?

It is obvious that after winning the first prize in this Taoism conference, he committed some wrongdoing and was punished to go to the cliff to contemplate his mistakes. There are no armors in the mountains, and no years of cultivation. These 30 years will pass by at the flick of a finger.

Now this Taoist school is also employing people. After all, the disciples of the old generation either died or went down the mountain. The old Taoist shouted down and asked him to be the person in charge of the charity department in this city.

As for what the little Taoist said, they also came from the temple where they practiced, they were either chasing rumors or speculating on their own, but Gou Wa'er naturally felt that what the little Taoist said was the truth.

That's why Gouwa'er, with such thoughts in mind, went to see Lu Xiu's old-fashioned sword practice, and he looked more like a tall and thin pheasant dancing with its wings, without the elegance and agility of a red-crowned crane at all.

The old Lu Xiu also saw that the son of a bitch had already stepped into the atrium, so the two of them first taunted each other, you said that I am dignified and look like a real person, but I am a vagabond who is gluttonous and drunk; □Every day and night, eating what was in the bowl and looking at the prodigal son in the pot, it happened that they got nothing; the two fought for a long time, but there was no result, and then there was the scene above.

The old Taoist put the long sword back into the scabbard hanging on the pillar, and then lay back on the reclining chair, panting heavily, Gou Wa'er also walked in front of the old Taoist, and casually held his hand The box he had been carrying all along was placed in front of the old Taoist.

"Little friend from the Shen family, what kind of wild game is this? It's still mysterious. Use a piece of gauze to cover it? Hehehe, let the old man take a look." When the old man saw the basket, he felt like a weasel seeing a chicken. , All of a sudden the monkey became anxious.You must know that although this dog has a very poisonous mouth on weekdays and is especially bitter to him, but after all, he has never treated the old man badly when it comes to eating, so how can this mysterious appearance not make him feel itchy? ?

The dog boy was offended by the old Taoist, and he was in a normal mood. Looking at the situation, he wanted to scare him. He raised his toe and lightly kicked the box. While putting on an inscrutable expression, he said leisurely : "Old miscellaneous hair, things are right in front of you, you will know if you look at them yourself. Why ask me?"

Seeing that the bastard didn't object, this old Lu Xiu said with a playful smile: "Brother, I always pay attention to morality. If you don't say yes, little brother, how dare I..." He said so, but his hands were tight In time, he quickly lifted the cover of the basket, only to hear a cry of "Wow", the old man fell headfirst, and almost threw himself out of the rocking chair.

The young man saw that the big thing was not good, so he walked quickly behind the old Taoist, raised his hands to support the old man, and just stopped the old man from falling. , and shouted in his mouth: "God boy, you are trying to scare the poor man to death! Ouch, old man, my old waist."

While pushing the old man's rocking chair leisurely, the young man rolled his eyes and said sarcastic words: "Aren't you a leader in this world? There is nothing to be afraid of in this mere basket of dead bugs."

It took a long time for Lu Xiu to calm down from the panic just now. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and lifted the basket in front of him, lowered his head and carefully looked at the dead bugs.The face that was originally in pain suddenly became a little dignified, but the tone was still full of complaints: "Hey, I said, boy from the Shen family, where did you get this basket of dead bugs? There should be no bug corpses like this on the mountain, maybe they are outsiders from outside."

Gou Wa'er thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Don't tell me, I have been up and down this mountain for more than ten years. If you want to talk about the inner and outer mountains, I have been there, so it is true." I have never seen this kind of insects before, not to mention the large number, and the death came so suddenly. The dead insects in this basket are still a very small part of the dead insects in that place, which shows how many of those insects there are. Now these bugs have taken up all the fields that our family has just reclaimed, and dozens of them can be turned up with a hoe, so I took some bugs and let the old man see, what the hell is this thing? something."

Gouwaer also took a look at the basket, the worms in it, the original snow-white and fat bodies gradually became cloudy due to the passage of time, showing a yellow color, and the looming human body appeared on the tail of the worms. On the contrary, the face is more ferocious and terrifying.Even Gouwaer, who had watched it many times, couldn't help but shudder.

"To tell you the truth, I have traveled all over the world and read many books, but I have never seen insects like this. It's just that I have seen insects with similar textures in the books in my scripture library, but how to say , the adult insect of this kind has already grown a pair of wings and has a hard shell on its body, and the human face on the tail is indeed unmistakable. After all, this is the only flying insect that looks like a smile, so from my point of view, this It can only be regarded as someone raising a half-baked larva."

As he said that, he didn't know where the old man found a short stick. He rummaged through the pile of bugs, looking for some other clues, but at the end, it seemed that he also found a short stick. A look of bewilderment.

"The old man, you are just talking about it, what the hell is this thing? Will it affect our two family's crops?" Gou Wa'er was still worried about this, so after Lu Xiu finished speaking, he hurried Let's get on with the conversation.

"This worm clearly wants to absorb nutrients to grow. I'm afraid it won't work if you plant your rice. It will be eaten by this kind of worm in a short time. There is not even a trace of wheat belt straw left. Get rid of these caterpillars." The old man stood up and kicked the basket of worms away.But never mentioned the real body of these bugs.

The old Taoist clapped his hands and said: "Shen family boy, don't always say that I am an old Taoist stingy. Today, I will give you three talismans and a bottle of medicine powder. They are all secret treasures in my Lingxu Palace. Sprinkle the medicinal powder on your family's farmland, sprinkle it every three steps, and bury it every five steps, then burn the three talismans to ashes, and sprinkle them on the field separately. After ten days, come and tell me about the situation , if there are no more bugs, then you can farm the land with peace of mind, if not, I am afraid that there will be no peace in Ganzhou city." Turning his head, he saw the young man staring at him blankly, so after that, he put on a flattering expression and said: "That boy from the Shen family, I would like this gift to exchange for the roast chicken and rice wine that have been coming for several days. ?”
