There is a hole in the mountain

When He Xiu returned to Shen's house, it was already the next day, and he met the whole family of Shen's family busy packing their bags and going out.He lied that he drank too much and spent the night outside after the curfew time.Qiaozhi Shen didn't doubt that he was there, but only told He Xiu to go in and say hello to his mother.

He Xiu greeted Qiaozhi Shen's young apprentice along the way, and wandered into the inner house.Lady Hu is instructing the paper maid to pack up.He Xiu casually placed the two barley gold ingots on Mrs. Hu's cabinet, and disapprovingly lay down on the soft couch with her legs crossed, holding a plate of crispy fried glutinous rice, chewing loudly.When Mrs. Hu saw the gold, she asked why.He Xiu focused on the matter of the Yuan family.Mrs. Hu put the gold in the cabinet, "This wandering man will take the little ghost away, but no matter how evil this person is, he is still a mortal person after all, and he has his own life and death records. No matter how bad it is, there are still those officials in the world, you and me goblins have no right to deal with it."

He Xiu comforted her and said: "The Yuan family sent the dead body of Ma Da to an official. He only said that he was beaten to death by Yuan's family by accident when he started molesting the young lady of the Yuan family in the middle of the night. That guy has done countless evils. This time he died completely. I don't know. How many people are happy, they will only secretly praise me for doing a good job. Besides, the three souls and seven souls were all swallowed up by Jiang Yi'an as dry food, and they will not be able to enter the underworld. How would Fengdu know. Don't worry, mother."

Mrs. Hu was still worried, and explained a lot to He Xiu, "Seeing that Zhongyuan is coming again, the door of hell is wide open, and those who have nothing to do have to find something to catch a few souls and go back to kill them. You just pick this time to make trouble... ... If you accidentally touch the side of Fengdu's gang of stalkers, you will hardly have a quiet time in the future." Turning around and seeing his expression of indifference, he snatched the plate reproachfully, "What I said is you Did you hear everything?"

He Xiu took the dish back, "If you don't trust me, just tie me up in the house."

Madam Hu poked him twice on the head, hating iron and steel, "Whenever I am mad, I will be relieved." She cried again: "Never let me worry. Who am I for? Not all for you."

He Xiu sighed, put down the plate, and licked her face towards his mother, "Mother fox, don't cry, your eyes won't be beautiful if you cry." When it looks delicate, it's like a perennial iceberg has turned into a bay of spring water, moistening the internal organs, as comfortable as ironing.Mrs. Hu has always followed him.Although his eyes were still red at this moment, his complexion had softened.He Xiu took the opportunity to say: "Mrs. Fox, I am no longer a child. How have I ever really worried you all these years?" Seeing that Mrs. Hu was still pursing her lips, she swore pointingly, "I promise. Let me go I will never go east to west, if you let me stay honest, I will never leave the room for half a step. Mother Fox, just rest assured."

Even though she knew that He Xiu always said one thing and did another, Mrs. Hu was still very happy after being coaxed by him, she went out with a smile on her face, and sank into the car with Qiao Zhi on her arm.

It is said that there were 49 large and small lotus temples built in our dynasty, all of which are of the standard of royal Taoist temples, so the one on Subai Peak outside Zhangxian County is no exception.Unsurprisingly, it has inherited the magnificent atmosphere of Shanggong Xianju, Qionglou Yuyu, resplendent and resplendent.From a distance, you can see the purple air lingering on the mountain where the fairy palace is located, and the sound of chanting and praying intersects into a rhyme.Nearly 99 steps have been chiseled from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and a lotus flower is painted every [-] steps.The mountain gate is carved out of huge stones, the cloud pattern is misty, and the lotus is noble and lifelike.A pool is dug in front of the main hall not far from the entrance of the mountain, and it is poured with clear spring water. The pool is full of white lotus.A stone tablet was erected by the pool, with four characters of "past life and present life" written on it.Every year on the Shangsi Festival, believers and men and women stop by the pool and throw a copper plate into the past and present pool at the same time, in order to love each other forever.

It was already noon on the fourteenth of July when the Shen family's group arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Lotus Palace was located.He Xiu lay in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, followed the continuous flow of people upwards, looked up at the golden roof surrounded by purple air, and said, "Aniang, are you sure you can protect me this time?"

Lady Hu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Auntie has already checked, the fairy energy in the Lianhua Palace and the goodness of several generations of the Shen family will definitely protect your stability. Spend tonight."

He Xiu had a pale face at the moment, but still had a disapproving smile, "It's been a hundred years, and it happens every year." He smiled with his lips curled up, "Why don't you let me go, Auntie. I want to see it too." Look, where can this ray of soul go."

When Madam Hu heard this, her pretty face was paler than the silk handkerchief in her hand.She opened her mouth and smiled weakly, "Xiu Lang, don't talk nonsense, if you leave, let my mother..." After all, she couldn't say anything else, she just stretched out her hands and gently hugged He Xiu's shoulders.

He Xiu rolled into her arms, buried her head in her arms, not letting her see her face distorted by pain, and said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, Auntie, I naturally want to live well."

After paying the sesame oil money, he entered the mountain gate.Looking up, you can see the solemn arrangement of five spines and six beasts on the beam eaves, and you can see the upper reaches of the colonnade with its teeth and claws.I don't know if it was because of what Mrs. Hu said, but He Xiu actually felt that the heart-piercing pain had eased a lot.He returned to his usual suave and coquettish demeanor, his eyes wandering around restlessly.Mrs. Hu knew his temperament, and comforted him: "There are many people in the hall, Xiulang should not run around, and he has the right to live in peace for a few days. If he has a disease, I'm afraid he will frighten those mortals."

He Xiu made a clear gesture, but she refused to sit idle and wanted to go to the crowded place.Mrs. Hu held him back, promised him many good things with kind words, and finally coaxed him to rest in the pre-arranged room.

The guest rooms prepared by this Taoist temple for lay people are divided into three classes: upper, middle and lower.Lianhua Palace prides itself on being a sect outside the world, adhering to the practice of "treating everyone equally".The upper, middle and lower third-class rooms are on a first-come, first-served basis.Unfortunately, this is not the case.The rich and powerful families always have a way to get a room from the Taoist chief who allocates the room, and the traffickers and pawns can only live in low-level rooms even if they have money.Qiao Zhichen took out a lot of money this time, and with the help of Mrs. Hu, he got two middle rooms and one servant room for the whole family.Qiaozhi Shen and Mrs. Hu occupy a middle room.Shen Guangsheng and He Xiu made some concessions, but in the end He Xiu couldn't make money, so he took Mrs. Liu to live in a middle-class room, and He Xiu went to live in a low-class room.

The Taoist priests in this Taoist temple are all ordinary people, and it’s okay to coax those ordinary people by chanting scriptures. A big goblin like Hu Niangzi doesn’t pay attention to them at all, but in this Taoist temple protected by purple energy, Those paper doubles still need to be used with caution.After thinking about it, Mrs. Hu decided to put away the demon method, and only accompanied Qiaozhichen to worship in person.Before leaving, he gave He Xiu thousands of instructions, He Xiu agreed casually, and sent her away, leaving Turgen quiet.

He randomly flipped through a few books in the room, which were nothing more than Taoist methods of self-cultivation.He Xiu became impatient after reading a few pages, but promised Mrs. Hu not to go out, so she brought a plate of dried fruit and sat at the window to enjoy the scenery.

There are many people in this inferior guest room, and all the people who are traffickers and pawns live here.As far as the scenery outside the guest room is concerned, it is not much different from the other two classes.In the garden, there are lush flowers and trees, and mountains are piled up with stones.The diversion water enters the courtyard and merges into a pool. The winding path of the covered bridge on the pool is winding. The pool water is clear to the bottom. Not afraid of people.He Xiu took the fruit in his hand and teased the fish and birds in the pond.

Although He Xiu intentionally covered his face, his demeanor attracted the attention of many women just by sitting by the window for a moment.They lived nearby, or passed by, or came here on purpose, and bribed the little Taoist priest who led the laymen to live in with money, and then they knew that it was the house of Xiaolang Shen Jiaxiu, the old Zhang Qiaozhi.In the past, if one talked about the old story of Shen’s family, the first thing people would think of was Qiaozhishen’s skill of turning dead branches into magical skills; now when one talks about old chapters of Shen’s family, people would mention that Qiaozhishen’s stepson was beautiful and handsome. extraordinary.So, in front of He Xiu's window, some people were looking for handkerchiefs, and some people were looking for hair flowers. Some bold people took the opportunity to chat with He Xiu, and some took the opportunity to ask for a change of house for He Xiu.Those who are timid can only watch He Xiu talking to other people in a friendly manner with hatred, and hide in the dark, twisting the veil, and scrutinizing him secretly.

The fox demons are born with beautiful looks, they are proud of their beauty, and they also love beauties.Relying on her beautiful appearance and graceful demeanor, He Xiu has been admired by different people in various ways for more than a hundred years without expecting anything in return.I am used to seeing all kinds of infatuated and admiring gestures, but I don't think much of these little ladies' twisted expressions and their hesitant words.I also saw that most of these people are just flat-headed and straight-faced, and there are very few people with outstanding appearance and body shape, so they don't take it seriously.It's just nothing to do, pass the time by chatting.

When they were having a good time, they saw a young Taoist priest in green clothes coming through the corridor and passing the pillars. When he saw He Xiu, he saluted and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, is it the old Zhang He Xiu?"

"Exactly."

"Scholar Shen of Baixuan Courtyard, please ask Pindao to invite you over to have a meeting." After finishing speaking, he sent a cloth bag, and if you ask again, you won't know.

Baixuan Courtyard is the courtyard where Shen Guangsheng and his wife lived.He Xiu opened the cloth bag, and it turned out to be a woman's bellyband.

He stroked his chin and raised his eyebrows with interest.The apron in the hand is made of bright red silk and satin, with light green silk thread to lock the edges, moon white powder and dark green silk thread embroidered with two beautiful and vivid lotus.The workmanship is meticulous, the female red is exquisite, and the fragrance of the female body is faintly wafting.He Xiu put her nose up and sniffed it, then covered her aching chest and laughed.The little sister-in-law gave the little uncle a belly bag. He had never encountered such a spicy and unique thing.
