Wolf Dysprosium

The name of Xianmen Tao comes from some ancient legends: people who practice Taoism in the world become immortals, or immortals in the sky go down to the earth to play and have fun. There is always a way to go in and out.Xianmen Dao is just located in the center of Dayu, and it is an important position that runs through the north and south, west and east. There are deep and precipitous places with many legendary stories such as Zhouzhou Canyon and Panxian Cave.

The Tao of Immortals is the way for immortals to ascend to the sky and heavenly fairies to descend to earth.

First there was the Immortal Gate Road, then there was the Immortal Gate Pass, and finally an Immortal Gate City was gradually built up.There are many mountains around this place, and there are many houses and villages. Many people who seek Taoism and immortality set up sects and preach around them. Therefore, when it comes to immortal gates, it is called "seven sects and nine religions".

Helansulfone and Balonger did not know these things.The two said a few words to the passer-by who made the noise, and walked towards the fairy gate together.The passer-by turned out to be a businessman, and he told He Lansong and the two that the elephant was the one that traveled thousands of miles from Chiyan to Liangjing during the Lantern Festival.Every year, Chi Yan and his party rode several elephants from the edge of the humid southern border to the north, and they must pass through the fairy gate.

Many people near Xianmen have never seen an elephant, and they all call it a "sacred elephant". Whenever the red swallow team passes by, people kneel and worship beside the road, shouting the name of the holy elephant.If it is rainy, many people will dig mud statues in the quagmire stepped by the holy elephant. A small clay sculpture "traveled by the holy elephant" can be sold at a high price in Xianmen City.

Balonger whispered to He Lansone: "Isn't this the same as our witch? This is a witch elephant."

"Hush!" The merchant quickly waved his hand, "You can't talk nonsense."

He Lansone and Balonger changed into Da Yuren's clothes in Liang Jing, and Balonger shaved off his full beard. At first glance, the two of them were undoubtedly Da Yuren, but the merchant still recognized their identities at a glance.

"We will arrive at the gate of the fairy gate in a while. Don't say anything bad about the holy elephant. In fact, the elephant has been rotten since it died. If you get close, you will be able to smell the smell of rotting flesh. Now that the weather is getting hotter, then The bad meat is all rotten and full of insects, and the stench is unbearable."

Balonger asked in lame big language: "Then you still worship?"

According to the merchant, the elephant was huge and died at Xianmenguan due to illness, and the Chiyan people couldn't take it back.They wanted to cut the elephant body into small pieces after the ceremony and push them into the sinking water.In summer, the submerged water is strong, and it can push small pieces of elephants all the way into the sea.

"But Wen Tianzong's people stopped it, and it didn't work. It is said that Wen Tianzong spent some money to buy the elephant from the Chiyan people, and the Chiyan people left, leaving behind this huge corpse." The merchant said. Said, "This is a sacred image, it is used for blessing, of course you have to worship it."

As we walked, it began to rain.He Lansone remembered that after they left Liang Jingcheng, they encountered heavy rain every now and then.The rain was so fierce that the three of them couldn't ride forward, so they took shelter from the rain in a desolate temple beside the road.Gradually other passers-by came to the Taoist temple, and the merchant whispered with them about the origin of Tianzong.

Wen Tianzong originated from Xianmen, and it has only been more than 30 years old, but it is already the most prestigious gang in Xianmen.Among the seven sects and nine sects of Xianmen, Wen Tianzong is the leader.Followers of Wentianzong are all over the immortal sect, from officials to prisoners, there is no one who does not know Wentianzong.

"I'm also a believer of Tianzong." The merchant said, "Qianzong has always done good deeds and spread good luck, even in Liangjing, he made a big statement. Lord Xia Houxin, the guardian of Xianmen City, is also the same to our suzerain I have a lot of respect, and I have always been treated as a guest at the seat. The suzerain has a lot of experience with Changsheng, and I heard that there are people in the Dayu Palace who asked our suzerain to ask for longevity."

Balonger couldn't help asking: "You came from Liangjing, and you didn't see anyone selling children along the way? I heard that Da Yu doesn't have slaves, so why did you buy the child?"

The merchant said with a smile: "There are too many uses. You can be a slave, or you can be a child bride-in-law at home. No matter how bad it is, you can resell it in the Fireworks Lane. Buying and selling, and the child, at least have a mouth." Eat your fill."

Balonger: "You ask Tianzong to do good, why don't you help these betrayed children?"

The merchant was surprised: "How can this help? People are born poor or rich, cheap or noble, it's all destiny. Destiny cannot be violated."

Balonger: "That person has to eat and shit, and he will always die. Isn't it against the destiny of your suzerain to practice longevity?"

His voice was thick and loud, and many people in the Taoist temple heard it and cast dissatisfied eyes.The merchant's face darkened, he shook his sleeves and walked away without talking to them.

Balonger: "Did I say something wrong?"

He Lansone: "That's right. But Baron, you can't say the right thing all the time."

The two were eventually driven out of the Taoist temple in the rain, and had to walk forward wearing coir raincoats.

Approaching Xianmen Pass, one can see several large sheds standing around the elephant skeleton from a distance.The shed sheltered from the rain and covered the elephant bones well.When I got closer, I found that there is a stone platform under the elephant bone, which is a bit higher than the ground, so that it cannot be soaked by rain or stagnant water.

The shed was full of people kneeling and burning incense. The smell of all kinds of incense sticks was mixed, and the strong smoke was also mixed with a strange rotten stench, which made the nose feel like vomiting.But the people who bowed and kowtowed didn't feel any difference at all, they chanted words and shook their heads.

After passing the Xianmen Pass, the front is the gate of Xianmen City.The two showed their documents, and the guard asked, "Do you have a pass token for Tianzong? If not, you can buy it from our goalkeeper..."

Balonger was drenched in the rain all the way, full of anger: "You bastard asked Tianzong? There is no such thing as a bird."

The guard was about to say something, but when he was blocked by him, his face immediately darkened, he smiled coldly, and waved for the two to pass.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so He Lansone didn't have time to take a closer look at the situation in the city. He saw a nearby building under the guise of "staying in a hotel", so he hurriedly followed Ba Longer into it.

The store was full of people sitting there, all of whom came to take shelter from the rain.The store is divided into upper and lower floors, the lower two floors are places for eating, and the upper one is the inn.

"Shopkeeper, how much is it for staying in the store?" He Lansone walked to the counter and asked.

The shopkeeper raised his head and saw his eyes, and was taken aback immediately: "Isn't he from Xianmen?"

"Northern army merchants come to Dayu." He Lansone said, "Are there any vacancies?"

The shopkeeper spread out his palm at him: "Pass the token."

He Lansone: "What pass token?"

"This is the property of Wentianzong. You are not from the Xianmen. If you want to live in this shop, you must have the pass token of Wentianzong."

Balonger couldn't understand: "Da Yu still has this rule?"

"This is the rule of our Xianmen." The shopkeeper smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't have one, you can buy one from the goalkeeper when you enter the city. But now it's raining heavily and travel is inconvenient, you can buy it from me, the price is the same .”

He showed two fingers: "Two pennies."

Balonger slapped the counter hard: "You are worse than bandits!"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows: "You barbarian, what are you yelling at! When you come to the realm of the fairy gate, you have to follow the rules of our fairy gate!"

He Lansone held Balonger back, beckoning him to stay calm. "All the inns in Xianmen are from Tianzong?"

"Nine out of ten."

He Lansone said to Balonger: "Let's go find another inn."

The shopkeeper immediately sneered: "It's better to leave."

He Lansone just turned around, and another old man walked in outside the door, wearing a hat and coir raincoat, but wrapped tightly around a basket behind him.He also came to stay at the hotel, and like He Lansone, he did not ask for Tianzong's pass token.

"There are no such rules in the world!" The old man said angrily, "Is Tianzong covering the sky with one hand? When will even the inn of Xianmen be under his management?"

"It doesn't matter, old man, our inn has been bought by the suzerain, and we will do whatever the suzerain says to accept guests." The shopkeeper said, "Old man, look at the rain outside, it seems like it's breaking the sky. Yes, don't hesitate, stay here, a pass token is worth the money, and it looks like you can't afford it, judging by your attire."

"If I can afford it, I don't want to!" The old man said loudly, "Ask Tianzong, ask Tianzong, is Xianmen City still a big Yu city? Ask Tianzong to control it everywhere. ... The country is about to perish. Demons are everywhere! Demons are everywhere!!!”

It doesn't matter what he yelled, many people in the store stood up one after another, raised their eyebrows and raised their eyebrows: "What are you talking about, old man! Who is the demon!"

The old man was taken aback, those in front of him were obviously followers of Wen Tianzong, they rushed towards him one after another, pushing and shoving him.Someone even took advantage of the chaos and beat him on the head, and the old man couldn't dodge in time, and blood came out of his nose immediately.He staggered, stumbled when he was pushed out of the inn door, fell to the ground, the basket on his back fell, and the books inside fell out one after another.

"Hey! He's a scholar who sells books!" Someone laughed, "It's all a facade, how much money can a scholar have!"

The old man hurriedly put the books that had fallen into the rain into the basket, only to be kicked again.Baskets and books all flew into the rain, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.

He Lansone and Balonger were untying their reins, and looking back, Balonger rushed over immediately.He took off his coir raincoat and put it on the old man, and shouted a Beirong dialect at the people in the inn.

"Bei Rong barbarian! It's Bei Rong barbarian!"

The people in the inn were frightened immediately, and they all stopped.Balonger helped the old man up, and He Lansone had put the wet books back into the basket, still covering them with the coir raincoat.

The two of them didn't want to cause trouble, so they helped the old man onto the horse and walked into the rain.Unexpectedly, the old man was stubborn and stubborn, wiped the rain from his face, turned his head and said angrily: "Ask Tianzong is an evil sect, who knows who is a clear and bright person in the world, who doesn't know! You are addicted to heresy, worshiping ordinary people as gods, one day you will... ..."

Balonger stomped his feet angrily: "Hi! You old man! Shut up!"

He and He Lansone rode the horse alone, and the other led the horse, and galloped forward.A large group of people poured out from the inn, following the three people and two horses, quarreling and beating them.

There was a lot of yelling, and the windows of Yue Lian Lou on the second floor of the inn were pushed open.A splash of rainwater poured in, and he covered his forehead with a folding fan, squinting his eyes for a closer look.

"What happened?" Jin Yan asked.

"Two people rescued the old man." The rain was so heavy that it covered the sky, and he could only see two young men in big clothes. The two horses, one black and one brown, couldn't tell the history, "Jiang Hu People who fight against injustice and act bravely in the name of righteousness may be my children of Mingyetang."

There are only Yue Lianlou, Chen Shuang, Jin Yan and Cen Rong in the private room.Cen Rong stared at Yue Lianlou's fan, holding his breath secretly: "Hero Yue, you are holding my fan."

"Yes, so what?"

"There is an imperial seal on it."

"I see. The old emperor's handwriting is pretty good." The fan was soaked, and the landscape and inscriptions painted on the fan were blurred.

Cen Rong gave up communicating with him, turned to Jin Yan and said, "I'm going back to Liangjing tonight. There is a lot of rain this summer, and there are many poisonous insects in the fairy gate, so you must be careful. I will send you here all the way, in my heart... well, I really don't want to." willing."

Yue Lianlou smiled: "Oh, let's go! Let's go, let's go."

Cen Rong ignored him, said while holding Jin Yan's palm, and said in a low voice: "If I have made any mistakes, I should make up for it by accompanying you all this way, right?"
