I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang

Seeing the old man's family eating Ga Beng Xiang, Li Miaozhen could only bear the discomfort in his heart, and picked up the water cup made of bamboo tube.

She had just escaped by pretending that she was full.However, Li Miaozhen still shook the water in the bamboo tube in advance, for fear of anything unusual.

The water is very clear and there is no smell, it seems to be the only normal thing in this villa.

She just wanted to drink water, when she suddenly remembered that the bamboo tube was the old man's family's public water cup.She is usually a little cleanliness freak, and she feels a little nervous, so she doesn't even drink water.

The table full of Webster's Burning Tail Banquet was quickly swept away, and the sky darkened.The old man asked Li Miaozhen to go to the guest room to rest. The so-called guest room is a place that looks similar to a horse pen.

A few bamboos have been built into a shed, with air leakage on two sides and direct wind on the other two sides.There were some gravels under the shed, and the old man said, "I heard that Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in Chang'an City, used copper coins to pave the floor, and gold and silver to make the walls. Take a look, my lord, ours is not bad, right?"

not bad?Almost there!

Li Miaozhen felt that their family might not be in good spirits, so she showed an awkward but polite smile: "You are right."

"Young master, rest!"

The houses in the villa are all low adobe houses. Just as the old man raised his feet and wanted to leave, a dirty little head poked out from the narrow window of the adobe house opposite, shaking wildly: "Hahahaha! Crazy, do you really think you are a dignitary, a prince or a general?"

"Don't pay attention to that crazy woman in front of you." The old man didn't take it seriously, but he still remembered to tell her.

Li Miaozhen: "...OK."

After the old man left, she sighed and took out two quilts from the space.The quilt she had exchanged with others a few days ago was made with silk. Although it was not as good as the one in the palace, it was still more comfortable than pebbles.

She spread out the quilt, took out a few sheets of white paper, cut them and turned them into white walls and bricks, turning the inside into a simple residence.Although Li Miaozhen can transform into a palace while eating and sleeping in the open air, the illusion can't last long.Therefore, Xiaoli is often on duty at night and sleeps during the day.

There were also pancakes and water in the space, so she took them out to share with Xiaoli, and prepared to continue on her way tomorrow morning.

……

"Bang! Boom!"

"His Majesty sets out to drive"

"Candied haws! Selling candied haws!"

The chirping sound poured into Li Miaozhen's ears, she heard the sound of messy footsteps, and the laughter of passers-by.From time to time, there are children chasing and playing, and girls smiling shyly.

She slowly opened her eyes, stood up from a purple jade coral screen, leaned against the diamond window and looked down.Suddenly, she thought she had returned to Chang'an.

The wide road is full of traffic and pedestrians.Although it is night, there are long strings of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, and the lights are as bright as day.

Li Miaozhen has been to the night market on the [-]th day of the first lunar month in Chang'an City. By comparison, it is no less prosperous and lively than Chang'an City.She walked out with great interest, and looking back, the house where she stayed was magnificent, with green tiles and vermilion eaves, carved beams and embroidered houses.

The old man I met during the day was wearing a new satin dress. When he saw her, he shook his fan and smiled, "Young master, come out to play at night too!"

She nodded: "Well, come out and have a look."

The old man was hospitable and took her on a night tour in person, introducing the local customs and special snacks in the introduction.The two were wandering in the street when a man dressed as a servant rushed over and shouted when he saw the old man, "Old Master, you are here. Your Majesty invites you to the palace to participate in the banquet!"

"Okay." The old man laughed loudly: "Master, let's go together?"

Li Miaozhen nodded confusedly, was dragged by the old man to sit on the sedan chair, and felt that in the blink of an eye, he passed through many palace gates and arrived in the palace.

In the resplendent and magnificent hall, the emperor was entertaining his ministers. The prime ministers, grand masters, censors and other high-ranking officials all had friendly faces at first glance, as if they had seen them in the daytime.

When the emperor saw the old man, he held a lamp and said with a smile: "Old man, who is this hero?"

The old man said: "It's the old minister's student."

The emperor asked: "What kind of art is proficient in?"

Pushed by the old man, she subconsciously replied, "Know a little bit of Taoism."

"Okay!" The emperor clapped his palms and said with a smile, "How about making him the national teacher of our court?"

All the ministers applauded in unison, celebrating that the emperor had won another talent.The old man whispered in his ear, telling her to thank her.

"My lord, what are you still doing in a daze? From now on, you will be a high-ranking national teacher!"

Li Miaozhen didn't want to be a national teacher, she frowned, her mind gradually became clear.She remembered that she went to a mountain villa at dusk, and lived in a shanty with air leaks on both sides and two sides open.

Something is wrong?

She made a formula in her hand, and then waved it towards her eyes, the palace she saw quickly disintegrated.Under the silent moonlight, dozens of villagers reveled in the high open space. They sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very happy.

Looking back, how can there be a bustling street?Some are just a winding path, a few children running around.

What a powerful illusion!

She looked at the old man and the emperor who was waiting for her to thank her. Although her clothes were covered with patches, the confidence and happiness on her face did not seem to be faked.Li Miaozhen tried to break an illusion. She took out a handful of freshly cut peach branches from the space, with copper coins hanging on it, ready to cast a spell.

She took only one step, and the old man roared angrily: "What are you doing?! Are you disrespecting His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers stood up ferociously, picked up the pots and pans in their hands, and rushed over to escort them.There were also two strong men brandishing hoes and running towards Li Miaozhen.

The emperor ordered: "Catch the demon master!"

Li Miaozhen turned around and ran away. She threw a blank piece of paper into a skateboard and slid down quickly.At the same time, she quickly fished out the little pear who was licking the water beside the stinking ditch, and rushed to the foot of the mountain, leaving the villagers behind.

In the dense jungle, Li Miaozhen supported the tree trunk to breathe.

It's really evil, if you accidentally fall into the Tao!

Xiaoli drank too much stinky water, and just drank a lot of wind, and now she just rolled on the ground in pain.Li Miaozhen had no choice but to feed it some pills, tossing and tossing until it was almost dawn, and Xiaoli would feel better.

It was wronged and said: "Princess, I was drinking nectar just now, and I also ate a lot of fish and shrimp!"

I'm afraid it eats worms and larvae.Li Miao really thought about it, but felt it would be too cruel to tell it.She tactfully said: "Maybe I'm full. Find a place to rest. It's almost dawn. I'll go to the village to have a look."

Xiaoli nodded obediently. After taking the elixir, it has recovered a lot, and now it needs to rest.Li Miaozhen went to see the weirdness of the villa alone, she couldn't just sit and watch these people live in their dreams.

The morning light is dim.

Before going up the mountain, Li Miaozhen changed into a white cloth and dressed up as an ordinary country girl.And because of her special pupil color, she wore a veiled hat.

She went up the mountain quietly, and when she met villagers, she used blindfold to hide.There are not many people in the villa, but they also get up early, and everyone looks like a marionette, chopping firewood and farming with a dull expression.

Their dark circles are very deep, and it looks like they haven't slept well for many days.When doing farm work, they seem to have several personalities, one moment is the domineering master, the other is the steward, and finally they are themselves...

"Hey, anyone?"

Li Miaozhen had already walked across from the old man's house yesterday, looked around cautiously, and then knocked on the opposite wooden window.

No one responded, Li Miaozhen whispered again: "Others say you are crazy, I know you are not! Please tell me, what happened nearby?"

A skinny child walked by with her head drooping, and she hastily disguised herself as a wall.After the child left, she realized that the dirty head was sticking out again, looking around.

"I'm here." She said.

The old crazy woman gave Li Miaozhen a dull look, she was also terribly thin.The old crazy woman murmured: "What's the matter! I don't know, since the village built the ancestral hall, everything has changed, they are all crazy..."

"What happened to the shrine?"

The old man on the opposite side came out, saw an old mad woman talking to herself, and couldn't help but mocked a few more words.After being stimulated by him, the old mad woman retreated into the earthen house again.

After the old man left, Li Miaozhen called her through the window a few times, but the old madwoman crouched in the corner with her head in her arms and never responded.

In desperation, she could only look for the ancestral hall in the villa first.

……

In the southwest corner of the villa, there is a Meng family ancestral hall.

The Meng family is the common surname in the villa. Li Miaozhen looked around, and it should be the ancestral hall that the old crazy woman said.The ancestral hall looks very new, with a small courtyard surrounded by white walls and black tiles, and two large willow trees are planted at the door, spitting out buds in the wind.

Willows attract ghosts, and it is strange to plant them in this place.Li Miaozhen saw that no one was guarding her, so she opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Miaozhen felt a strong ghostly aura, wandering around.She had been prepared for a long time, and with a flick of her hand, the peach branch appeared in her hand.

For her, exorcising ghosts is all about pediatrics. Just chanting spells and talismans, coupled with magic tools, she caught a lot of little ghosts with ease.These little ghosts also admitted that they thought it was fun to tease the villagers, so they kept making troubles in the mountains.

The leading little ghost shouted: "Xianggu, please let us go, we will never dare again!"

They looked like they were seven or eight years old, probably children who died in vain during the famine.Li Miaozhen smiled softly and said, "Okay."

The little ghosts cheered and praised her for her purity and kindness, and lined up to leave the Meng family ancestral hall.Just when the first kid was about to step on the threshold of the ancestral hall, the black door suddenly slammed!With a sound of closing, a talisman flew over and sealed the door.

The little ghost exclaimed: "Xiangu, you???"

In front of the memorial tablet, Li Miaozhen held a talisman and was dressed in white.She pursed her lips into a smile, and through the light veil of the veil, she said to the little ghosts: "Is it okay to use a second set of illusion? Do you think that what I want is praise and fame?"

The little ghost said: "Xiangu, what did you say?"

She flicked her right hand lightly, and in an instant the childish faces of the little ghosts faded away and turned into ugly goblins.Seeing her see through the illusion, the goblins bared their teeth and rushed towards her.

Li Miaozhen didn't panic, the talismans in his hands turned into lightning bolts, knocking them down.The rest of the mountain spirits ran away quickly, but ran towards the back door of the ancestral hall.

She hurried to catch up, only to find out that the back door of the ancestral hall was a cliff when she went out.She hurriedly hid her figure with blindfolds, and the goblins saw that she was not chasing her, and jumped down the cliff after going around three times in the same place.

Li Miaozhen followed the gourd to draw a ladle, and when she raised her head again, the scenery under the cliff changed.

After confirming that it was not an illusion, she jumped down with confidence.

……

black.

Endless black.

The sound of dripping water came from the rock wall, Li Miaozhen stopped to listen carefully, and then looked around.After she broke into the tomb door just now, after chasing for a while, she couldn't see those mountain spirits anymore.

It is obviously a large tomb with a long history, with many tomb passages and countless robbery holes.Li Miaozhen also has no sense of direction. When she was at a fork in the road, she could only choose the tomb passage she wanted to take by divination.

As she walked, she felt that her surroundings became quieter, and there was almost no sound of dripping water.

The brilliance of the night pearl illuminated the tomb passage, and Li Miaozhen looked at the stone carvings on the rock wall, feeling that the style was different from what he saw at first.When she first came in, the stone carvings on the rock wall were portrait stones of the Han Dynasty, but now, she feels that the clothes and hats of the characters on the stone carvings look like the style before the Spring and Autumn Period.

Li Miaozhen is suspicious of divination.

Keep going, good luck.

However, her tomb path has come to an end, and there is a stone gate ahead.She stared at the door. Could it be that the old monster's lair was inside?

Thinking of this, she immediately armed herself and made full preparations to catch the monster.Li Miaozhen saw that there was an animal head organ next to it, so he pressed it, and the stone door slowly opened.

The tomb chamber is so large that it can even be said that it is a cave with natural water accumulation. There is only a small island in the center of the water, and a coffin is placed on it.

Li Miaozhen looked east and west, but she didn't have any evil spirit at all.

She made a boat out of white paper, floated over, and walked to the island.The lid of the coffin was missing, and she could see the person lying safely inside when she lowered her head.

She gasped.

What good luck, isn't it Luo Gongyuan who fled to death three years ago? !
