Huai'an Temple

Suddenly they heard a commotion from a distance, and the two followed the sound. It was Li Tan who was leading his subordinates in the back hall, confronting them.

In the first half of the month, the epidemic was difficult to control, and the family members often died. Occasionally, there were women who survived, and they were not infected with the disease.Shen Tuan said that the body must be burned and buried deeply, and Li Tan followed the instructions step by step, and no one ever disobeyed.

In the second half of the month, the epidemic subsided somewhat, and most of the deaths were old, young, women and children, but young and strong men survived.At this time Li Tan wanted to burn the corpse again, and there was resistance.

People in the world pay attention to being safe in the earth, and serving death as life.How willing to burn the dead bodies of relatives.So they pulled the dead out from the apse one after another, caressed the corpse and wept bitterly, saying they wanted to go back for burial.Of course Li Tan didn't allow it, so they began to argue.

Shen Tuan persuaded: "Everyone, all your relatives died of the epidemic. This disease is very easy to catch! If you don't burn it, I'm afraid it will be revived again. At that time, the medicine stone will be useless, and the corpse will lie thousands of miles away!" Everyone turned a deaf ear.

Xue Zhu whispered: "How can they understand this! You speak human language!"

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes: "I said, how many of you can dig a deep burial when you go back? Find a thin coffin, open the head of the grave and bury it. What's more, roll the mat and throw it on the mass grave. What do you do if the dog gets out? If you catch the disease again, the gods will not be able to save you!"

Li Tan also said: "This was decided by the county a long time ago. Two batches have been burned before. This time it is just as usual. It is useless for you to stop."

Liu Er, who was teased by Xue Zhu last time, had an old mother and couldn't make it through.At this time, Liu Er was rolling in the sky, and Liu's mother had been dead for many days, and she was already swollen and rancid, and he did not come to collect it.Today Li Tan wanted to burn it, but he made a fuss.Weeping: "My son is not filial! You will not enjoy the blessings while alive, and you will be burned to ashes when you die!"

Xue Zhu poked around in his arms, threatening him: "Why is it you again? Didn't you stand enough?"

Liu Er cried even more exaggeratedly, pointed at Xue Zhu and said: "I understand, I understand! Why must the corpse be burned, it must be cured by you, a monster who knows evil methods!"

Everyone looked at each other and talked one after another.

"Could they have any intentions?"

"Since you know magic, will you burn the body and take away the soul?"

"Isn't Daoist Shen muddleheaded a while ago? I heard that he was insane, and it will be healed so soon!"

"It was cured by harvesting the soul, right? Then how did you say the plague came? Could it be..."

Xue Zhu was furious and wanted to do something.Li Tan sternly shouted: "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense, take them all back!" He asked people to pull away the crowd, and the dead bodies were carried away and burned on the spot.Black smoke billowed from the back mountain, and crying and howling filled the ground in front of the temple.

Shen Tuan was surprised at first, but became calmer as he listened.He stopped Xue Zhu, bowed his hands to Li Tangong, turned and left.

Xue Zhu still said indignantly: "This is really hard to be a good person! If you don't stop me, I will give them a nice meal!"

Shen Tuan shook his head: "Forget it. Originally, accumulating virtue was not for them. I also understand today why saints are not benevolent!"

People's hearts are like water, and people's movements are like smoke.Last month, Shen and Xue were the gods who saved the world, but this month they have become demons who are causing harm to the world!It is said that the two of them are two snake demons practicing in a cave, two brothers, no, how did the two snakes commit trouble, hit the heavenly palace, and were injured by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then how and why they were injured, how and how to create plagues, how and what Harvest the soul and nourish the soul to increase mana!

It is simply the male version of The Legend of the White Snake!

Shen Tuan turned a deaf ear and was able to meditate every morning and evening.During the day, he held Xue Zhu to practice his sword.The hand was about to grab it, and it was light for a while.His hand was slowly caught by the talisman, so he had no choice but to let him run away.

And until the winter solstice, thin snow and red plums.The epidemic has completely disappeared, and the two popular demons are also out of date.Shen Tuan was finally able to make the talisman recite the incantation, and then defended against Nanming, recovering seventy-eight out of ten.

When Xue Zhu was bored, he also pestered Shen Tuan to practice formation.In addition to the old third kind of sleepy array.They also experimented with different formations that can produce hallucinations, and mazes that cover the five senses.Until one day, he pushed Shen Tuan into the formation for two hours... Then he was exhausted and was chased by Shen Tuan with a sword...

Because of the seven killings, Shen Tuan's cinnabar was delayed.The two planned to take another trip to Wanqing to see Xiaomu.

It's only halfway to the Dangshan boundary.It's the end of the year, Shen Tuan has no desire for material things, sits with a piano book, is still in Xueqing Taoist robe and ermine cloak.His hair was loosely tied, and the hood of his cloak was thrown over his back.Xue Zhu has a young mind, but he thinks the cloak is in the way.Ying Nianjing wore a rouge-colored fur coat.Futou leather belt, tightly tied arrow sleeves, and fast boots.The red clothes and white snow are so bright.

On the deserted street, a woman with scissors suddenly rushed out, going on a rampage, stabbing anyone she saw.Pedestrians escaped one after another.Xue Zhu took a closer look, this woman was young, short in stature, and appeared to be insane.The eyeballs were rolled up, and most of the exposed whites were bloodshot.

"Master, this...?" Xue Zhu asked in a low voice.

Shen Tuan looked at it and replied: "There must be something evil, but I don't know what to do now. Stop her, don't let her hurt anyone."

Xue Zhu touched his chest out of habit, and said in embarrassment: "Hey, if people are unlucky, they will go to hell if they wear Taoist robes, but I will go to hell if I don't wear Taoist robes!"

Shen Tuan stepped forward, pulled out the wooden hairpin on his head, picked it from the woman's hand, and snatched the scissors.The woman froze for a moment, turning around in a daze, her expression confused.Shen Tuan pulled his hair and said in a low voice: "Hey! I don't dare to trouble you, young master! I'll do it myself."

Xue Zhu hurriedly complimented: "I don't have master's skill like yours! Compared with master, I'm half disabled!"

The two were arguing, the mad woman seemed to have a clear understanding, she suddenly jumped at Shen Tuan and shouted: "Ninth Brother!" Shen Tuan didn't want to touch her, so he had to dodge and dodge.However, the woman spotted him and said that my husband should not go, and rushed straight up.Seeing that he couldn't catch him, he fell to the ground crying, beating his chest towards Shen Tuan and wailing.

Xue Zhu endured so much pain, and finally smiled and said: "I, I say you'll just throw yourself into chaos and give up... Puff ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Shen Tuan didn't pay attention to him, just squatted down, looked at the woman carefully, and listened to her crying insanely, it's you!Not you not you.Who are you?

At this time, a panting man came running on the street, wearing short clothes, cotton shoes, bald head and sweaty face.As soon as he saw the crazy woman, he rushed forward and grabbed her: "Pearl! Wake up, let's go back!"

Strange to say, as soon as he came, the pearl went crazy immediately, and asked with a surprised face: "How did I get here? I don't remember at all!" Seeing that Shen Tuan had been looking at her, he turned and hid behind the man, and asked in a low voice: "Ninth brother, here, who is this gentleman?"

This young man named Brother Nine bowed to Shen Tuan, and said with an apologetic expression: "This gentleman, my wife, yes, I'm a little...I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry."

Shen Tuan narrowed his eyes, arched his hands, and said: "Young master, the student is a foreigner. This year is the big competition. My cousin and I are going to the provincial city and country exams. We pass by expensive places, but we have nowhere to stay... "He said stumblingly, with a look of weakness.

Brother Nine hurriedly replied: "If you don't mind it! Just go home! It's just to suppress the shock with my husband!"

Shen Tuan hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, young master! This is bothering you!"

Brother Jiu waved his hand: "Where am I, what kind of son is I? Everyone calls me Han Jiu, and my husband also calls me Han Jiu!"

Shen Tuan nodded, and said: "Then you don't need to address Mr. Xiang, student Shen Nan."

Xue Zhu looked at his awkward appearance, and knew that there must be a reason.Didn't ask much, just saw Li, bowed his head and followed.

Han Jiu's family lived not far away, and there was a grocery store facing the street.Turning around the back hall, there is a backyard with three rooms in the main room, neither big nor small.As soon as he entered the hospital, he heard a series of shouts from inside: "This bastard is getting more and more crazy! The young daughter-in-law actually ran into the street! Didn't she do it on purpose to be watched!" Han Jiu shouted inside embarrassingly: "We have a guest!" Only then did the sound stop.

Pearl went back to the east wing and never came out again.An old woman in her 50s and [-]s walked out of the main hall, and looked at Shen and Xue impatiently.

Shen Tuan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Greetings to the old lady, student Shen Nan, and his cousin passed by here, and they are here to stay. I am sorry to bother you." He took out a piece of silver from his arms and put it on the table in the main room.His footsteps were shaky all the way, his breath was disordered, he seemed to be terrified by the old woman when he first entered the courtyard, he did not dare to look at her with his head down.

Xue Zhu thought to himself that he really didn't have such acting skills, so he had to hold hands more and talk less.He looked at Shen Tuan from time to time, trying to find some hints.It's a pity that Shen Tuan didn't look at him.Xue Zhu slandered, who is your cousin? !

In the evening, the two sat opposite each other in the West Wing.Xue Zhu couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on?"

Shen Tuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "Hush, keep your voice down. I think that Han Jiu is not quite right."

Xue Zhu was stunned: "Then why are you pretending to be a scholar? Let's fight!"

Shen Tuan rolled his eyes: "I must know who he is?! Besides, where to fight? On the street?"

Xue Zhu hesitated: "Then, what should we do? You still want to talk to him?"

Shen Tuan narrowed his eyes, and said with a smirk: "I want to talk to you! Who started in chaos and ended up giving up?"

Xue Zhu's talisman grew, and his cheeks also grew, and he said happily: "You give me a bath, and I will talk to you."

Shen Tuan got up to catch him, Xue Zhu stepped out, but bumped into someone.

It was Han Jiu.

Shen Tuan moved his arms around Xue Zhu behind him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Han Jiu looked the two up and down, raised the corner of his mouth, and teased, "Cousin? Brother Qi?"

Shen Tuan was furious and shouted: "Fart!" and punched him.

Han Jiuyi stepped aside, smiled lightly, and said, "Because of embarrassment!" He stretched out his right hand, opened a small amber fan, and raised it upwards.In desperation, Shen Tuan took out a bunch of things from his bosom and stuffed them into Xue's bosom.

When he came back to his senses, Shen Tuan was standing on a bustling street, surrounded by many people, all looking in one direction.

Glazed golden tiles, green pillars and red corridors, music and music, surrounded by green clouds.But it is a Wa Si Gou Lan.I saw a man with a white face and sharp mouth pushing and shoving some children.Two little girls, Cardamom Nianhua, hugged each other and wept.A smaller boy, disheveled and barefoot, was slapped to the ground, kicked and beaten.

The man seemed to be afraid that people would not know him, so he shouted loudly: "Little beast, how much food have you eaten for nothing? Why don't you sell it? If you don't go in again, I'll take your skin off today!"

Shen Tuan frowned, stretched out his hand to pull the man away, and looked down, the boy was eleven or twelve years old, curled up, his cheeks were flushed, and his lips were bleeding.When he raised his head, his forehead was bruised, his eyes were full of tears, and his features were beautiful. It was Xue Zhu!
