Dressed for a thousand years

When Qi Runsheng woke up, he felt sore all over, as if he had had an unpleasant dream.

As soon as he got up, he discovered a strange phenomenon—although he was sleeping on the bed and covered with a quilt, the clothes on his body from yesterday hadn't been changed. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't remember how he fell asleep yesterday.

Clothes that were always neat were crumpled, and belt knots were messed up.

"What's going on?" Qi Runsheng pressed his temple, and with the other hand he was absently arranging his clothes.

At this time, a seal talisman fell out from his loose skirt.

Qi Runsheng picked it up casually, but saw a piece of bright red on the talisman paper...

"This is... a goblin?" Qi Runsheng lost all sleepiness immediately.

Qi Runsheng was the number one scholar handpicked by the emperor of the Daji Dynasty. He was supposed to return to his hometown in fine clothes, but he was catching up with the rare drought in the south.Floods in the south can be said in the past, and droughts are almost unheard of. In addition, the magistrate of Shuanghe Town in the south reported the birth of Tai Sui, which makes people have to think about it.

Qi Runsheng's hometown is not far from Shuanghe Town, so the task of ascertaining the truth of the news fell on him.

Before leaving, the most mysterious national teacher in the entire Daji (dynasty name, table Tucao) handed him a seal talisman, saying that he could feel the filth of "Tai Sui".

Qi Runsheng sneered at this, he doesn't believe in gods and ghosts at all, if he really wants to say that, he is the number one scholar this year, shouldn't he be the Wenqu Xingjun who descended to earth?

But Qi Runsheng still brought it, after all, the emperor's order is hard to break, so it's good to show off.

So before going home, Qi Runsheng went to Shuanghe Town to inquire about it, heard about the Han family in Xihe Village, found the legendary Tai Sui Temple, and saw that not-so-good sculpture.

Didn't Tai Sui say that Tai Sui is the god of the year who manages misfortunes and fortunes in the world? Then he should be a very upright god, Qi Runsheng thought, and made up a lie.If there is really Tai Sui here, if you hear what he said, no matter if you see through him or really believe it, you will not be indifferent, right?Once Tai Sui gets angry and the filth leaks out, the seal talisman will react, right?

But nothing happened, and Qi Runsheng didn't feel anything.

He remembered that he came back later, and he didn't know what happened after that.

Things are weird.

Doubt is such a magical thing, as long as there is a slightest possibility, you can no longer stick to what you thought.

Qi Runsheng woke up early in the morning and felt that something was wrong, everything was unusual, and when he saw this seal talisman presented by the national teacher, it felt like a basin of cold water poured on his heart.

He remembered what the national teacher said, "If the seal talisman turns black, it may be born in Tai Sui. If it is another color, it is more likely to be a goblin."

So, the drought in the south was actually caused by goblins?

************************

As the New Year approached, Lijiu's valley became very depressed, and all the leaves of the little peach blossoms fell.

However, Su Qing's small temple is quite prosperous. Not only is it decorated with joy, but there are also more people offering incense than usual in the past few days.His small temple has often come to worship together with the family recently, and will also send many snacks with farmhouse characteristics.

Of course, Su Qing would not touch those tributes. All these things went into the stomachs of the children who came to play in his small temple, and a few little beggars who wandered here.

It is said that these little beggars are from other surrounding villages. It has not rained a few times this year, and the crops in the fields have dried up, and some families have suffered.Speaking of this, Su Qing also heard villagers complain: If Xihe Village was not close to a river, the crops in the field would probably not be able to escape.

Probably because of this, the villagers of Xihe Village are very tolerant towards these exiled children.

Occasionally, Su Qing would change her body and mix among those children, leading them to take a bath, wash their clothes, sweep the floor or something, and let them live here.

Qing Jian, as always, does not object to Su Qing's behavior, but does not agree with it either.But since his small temple has regular residents, the snake spirit spends more and more time sleeping in his cave.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, Su Qing was looking at the little beggars in the temple with great interest, taking the food he had begged for and putting them in a pot to cook Laba porridge, but the corner of his eyes caught the fox tail at the door. .

Beaver Nine?

Su Qing walked out the door, and sure enough, he saw a man with fox eyes standing at the door with a smile on his face.He didn't wear his signature red clothes today, but changed into a white robe with soft fox fur on the neckline, still looking gorgeous.

"Little Tai Sui, Little Taohua wants to see you." Li Jiu said with a smile.

Su Qing looked behind Li Jiu, but didn't see anyone.

"Xiao Taohua is at home, I'm here to pick you up." Li Jiu continued to explain with a smile.

Su Qing felt a little strange.

Li Jiu's valley was only brought by Qing Jian a few times, and the Peach Blossom Demon, who looked like his younger brother, came to visit him from time to time, but the fox brought him every time.

"Then let's go." Su Qing looked back at the bustling small temple and agreed.

Li Jiu was much gentler than the snake spirit, and thoughtfully pasted a talisman on Su Qing so that his speed could catch up with her.After a while, they came to the hill outside Lijiu Valley.

Li Jiu stopped here.

"Why?" Su Qing asked curiously.

As if Li Jiu didn't hear it, she turned to Su Qing after a while and said with a smile, "It's nothing."

************

Little Peach Blossom sat coldly on a bare branch, and the fox's marriage temple under the peach tree collapsed.

Seeing such a scene, Su Qing finally realized that something was wrong, subconsciously stepped back, but bumped into something...

"Beaver Nine?"

"I'm sorry." The fox said with a sigh.

He clicked on the charm that had just been pasted on Su Qing's body to help him speed up, and then Su Qing found that he could not move.

"Li Jiu, what are you doing?" Su Qing couldn't even show off his evil spirit for a moment, and asked Li Jiu anxiously and angrily.

Li Jiu ignored him, but said loudly: "I brought Xiao Tai Sui, can you let Xiao Taohua go?"

Hearing Li Jiu's words, Su Qing subconsciously looked at Xiao Taohua sitting on the branch, only to realize that his movements of hands and feet were unnatural, and he was trapped on the tree.

Su Qing opened her eyes wide in shock, and was surprised to find a person walking out from behind the ruins of Lijiu Temple.

With long white clothes and long black hair, he looks like a marble statue. There is no superfluous expression on his face. He looks like the national magic stick in the novels and comics that Su Qing has read before.

The man ignored Su Qing, but waved his sleeves.

The little peach blossoms on the tree fell, and Li Jiu's gorgeous white clothes also disappeared.

"You..." Su Qing looked at Li Jiu's familiar red clothes, which had become tattered and blood-stained, and was speechless.

"It's okay, it's just fur, it will grow back soon." Li Jiu smiled wryly, and changed into neat clothes for himself, but his pale face could not be concealed, "He is Daji's national teacher, I don't know what to do. Some way to get here through my Marriage Temple, I want to burn the little peach blossom."

Su Qing understood instantly.

It was the national teacher in front of him who threatened Li Jiu to harm him.

The national teacher turned to Su Qing, just as he was about to say something, the little peach blossom that fell to the side suddenly exploded and flew to the back of the ruins.

"do not go!"

Li Jiu, who had been paying attention to the Peach Blossom Demon, immediately shouted to stop him, but failed to stop him.

Su Qing watched Xiao Taohua chase a person from behind the ruins.Take a closer look, heh, he is still an acquaintance, the fake Taoist priest who dug him up at the beginning seems to be haunted.

With a cold face, Xiao Taohua pursued that Taoist priest very persistently.And the expression on that Taoist priest's face...as if he had seen a ghost.

what happened?

Something flashed through Su Qing's head, but she couldn't remember it.

Li Jiu looked very anxious, keeping his eyes on Xiao Taohua and the Taoist priest.The unusual scene also attracted the attention of the cold national teacher, making his eyes move away from Su Qing's body.

At this time, Li Jiu's eyes turned and tore off the seal talisman attached to Su Qing's body.

Almost at the same time, the marble-like national teacher turned his head and frowned, his eyeballs were frighteningly white.

"Are you really Tai Sui?" The national teacher frowned even deeper.

Su Qing was frightened, and the evil spirit that hadn't been released for a long time immediately wrapped around his whole body, and he regained his black robe and pale face. The answer couldn't be more obvious.

However, the national teacher in front of him who could beat Li Jiu so badly was still questioning him with an expression of "how could I make a mistake".

To be honest, the way the national teacher opened his eyes was much more pleasing and childish.

"I observed the sky carefully, but I didn't see any signs of Tai Sui's birth and disaster. Why are you here?" After being surprised, the national teacher asked calmly.

"I don't know, probably because someone dug me out." Su Qing raised the corners of her mouth maliciously, but she was telling the truth.

"It's not predestined, why do it?" The national teacher asked coldly.

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant," Su Qing thought for a while, and replied, "If you want to go against the sky, you will be punished by the sky."

Of course Su Qing understood that the Tai Sui that the national teacher was talking about must be the immortal Tai Sui Xingjun.But Su Qing has no ability to let others down, except for letting go of evil spirits to make people unlucky. He is sure that he has not disguised himself as a fairy.

But it is absolutely unacceptable now.

Su Qing heard that this year, the south, which was originally a water town, has experienced a drought. This kind of natural disaster cannot be solved even in modern times with advanced technology.He doesn't know if there is a real Tai Sui controlling this, but he thinks that even if the drought in the south is abnormal this time, it is due to long-term climate change, which is caused by various reasons.Thinking about it, even if Tai Sui Xingjun is really in charge of this, people should do things according to the rules, and it should be like this this year.

So Su Qing didn't think that this natural disaster had anything to do with him.But the national teacher in front of him, who is quite powerful in combat, obviously thinks that a goblin has caused trouble. If he admits that he is not a god, he will be wiped out every minute.

So although Su Qing's answers were all true, he was both angry and worried, so his tone and demeanor were very aggressive.

***

On the other side, Li Jiu was also extremely anxious.

Xiao Taohua has just re-formed, and she doesn't understand the worldly ways, Li Jiuben intends to teach him slowly.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and Xiao Taohua unexpectedly let Xiao Taohua meet this Taoist priest again.

At first, Li Jiu was a bit lucky, the Taoist priest who killed Xiao Peach Blossom had turned into a bad old man, and he wouldn't recognize it.But he didn't expect that even if he couldn't recognize him, Xiao Taohua still remembered this person.

Having been with Xiao Taohua for 300 years, Li Jiu knows Xiao Taohua's character very well.Although Xiao Taohua, who was chasing the Taoist now, was expressionless and ugly, but Li Jiu could still see a trace of doubt on his face.

This told Li Jiu that Xiao Taohua did not recognize the Taoist priest.

So what Li Jiu has to do now is to kill that person before Xiao Taohua recognizes him.

After making up his mind, Li Jiu narrowed his eyes, stopped chasing the Peach Blossom Demon, and diverted to intercept the Taoist priest. Suddenly, the fingernails on his right hand grew violently, and went straight to the Taoist priest's heart...

The Taoist priest was terrified, fell to the ground and rolled in embarrassment, and managed to avoid Li Jiu's sharp claws. Seeing that he was still looking to kill himself, he immediately couldn't care about anything, even rolled and crawled towards the peach blossom demon. Running in the direction, hissed loudly: "Mutao save me!"
