Ichthyosaur

Longchi trotted all the way home, and first took the big bucket to fetch water from the well in the village.

There is a well in the village called Gourd Well, which is said to have been ordered by Mr. Li Tang's master.

When the well was dug, the head of the tidal flat village was still a young man, and Mr. Li Tang had not yet become the apprentice of the old man.There was a drought that year, and the old man wandered here to light this well for the villagers, and said that the tidal flat village is a treasure land of geomantic omen.

The tidal flat village is next to Shitanzi, and there is such a haunted place. Everyone doesn't believe that the tidal flat village is a treasure of geomantic omen, but this well is really a good well.It is clear and sweet, and even in the dry years when there is no drop of water, it still produces water and has never dried up.She was curious, and once sneaked into the well in the middle of the night to see what happened.The well is in the shape of a gourd, with six springs flowing out of it.She has grown up so big, and has encountered two severe droughts. The wells in Shiliba village and the town ran out of water, and the gourd well still produced water as usual. Drain.With such a well, the villagers have never had a famine. Even if it is close to Shitanzi, people in the tidal flat village are unwilling to move away. It has gradually developed into a large village with more than 300 households and a population of nearly [-].

Hulujing is not the only well in the village. Most of the time, villagers get water near their homes. Villagers who are a little further away from the well only come to Hulujing when there is a drought or when there is not enough water for banquets at home.

Not far from Longchi's house, old man He also had a well in front of his house. Longchi always thought his water was muddy and refused to use his water.Every morning, she fetches water from the gourd well to fill up the water tank at home, and then cooks breakfast.

People in the village got up early, and every household was busy cleaning the gates and yards to feed the poultry and livestock. When they saw Longchi passing by with a bucket, they all greeted him warmly.

She does the work of burying corpses all day long, and everyone spreads the word that she knows magic spells, so when people in the village find floating corpses, they will ask her to deal with them, and if there is something wrong with their house, they will ask her to look at them.The only things that can make trouble in the village are wandering ghosts, or rats, snakes, and the like.Ordinary people can't deal with them, so they are nothing in her eyes.For those who practice Taoism, it is their duty to eliminate evil spirits from all over the place.But she doesn't do free work, which is not good for her and the master's family. The master said that it will owe karma, so she will take two copper coins as a token.

Before she reached the gourd well, she saw someone stepping on the edge of the well and looking into the well from a long distance away.

This man was about 30 to [-] years old, wearing a loose gray robe, wearing a pure sun scarf on his head, and holding a feather fan in his hand, waving the fan leisurely.

Mr. Li Tang is a frequent visitor in the village.He owns a fortune-telling parlor in the town, which is open on market days, and in his free time he takes his fortune-telling sails from village to town to tell fortunes for others.It is said that he has a bit of moral skills, and he will deal with it for others when he encounters any unrest.He charged fortune-telling to ward off evil spirits, and he was called dead for money.

Because his fees are expensive, even if he has a gourd well connection with the tidal flat village, people in the village will go to her or her master when they have something to do, and they will not go to Mr. Li Tang.Mr. Li Tang knew that there was no business in the tidal flat village, so he would still come every month or so to see the well or the town's feng shui.

She greeted Mr. Li Tang, filled two buckets of water, and walked back quickly with a bucket of water in each hand.

Lifting water is a basic skill, which requires walking like flying, with the heels not touching the ground and water not being spilled.Not only is she carrying water like this, but Er Gouzi is also doing the same. Some people in the village wanted to follow suit, but they didn't stick to it.

After practicing for more than ten days, she can walk faster than others can run. No one in the village can keep up with her except Er Gouzi.

Mr. Li Tang is also a capable person. He seems to be walking slowly, but he is not behind at all. He followed her at a distance of two steps and asked, "Little Chizi, did something happen last night?"

Long Chizi asked: "Do you want to inquire about the Seventh Floor?"

Mr. Li Tang waved the feather fan in his hand, with a strategizing attitude, "If Bamenzhai really wants to build a seven-story building, it is very likely that both sides will suffer. The ghost burial boat has always been that people don't attack it, and it doesn't attack people. We There is no need to conflict with it, but..." His voice changed, and he continued: "Bamenzhai has been a disaster for so many years, causing countless harms, just because it is powerful and protected by the Eight Gates, we have been helpless it."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Long Chi, who was only busy on his way, and said "tsk" dissatisfiedly, "You should pick up the conversation, chatting with you is so boring."

Longchi retorted: "I don't rely on my words for a living."

Mr. Li Tang suddenly became unhappy, "Am I relying on my mouth to eat? I have a golden eye and a sharp eye, and I rely on my ability to eat. Let me tell you, there is no one in this area without me. I'm going to die, I'm not sure about the face..." Before he finished speaking, Long Chi stopped and looked at him with big watery eyes.He knew what Longchi was going to say, so he quickly covered Longchi's mouth with a feather fan, and said, "You're free, you don't count!"

Longchi said "Go" disdainfully, and said, "The cowhide is blown." He continued to walk home.

Of course Mr. Li Tang didn't admit it, "It's not a matter of whether the leather is broken or not. The bracelet on your left hand looks like a piece of broken copper..."

Longchi answered: "I know, I know, it's actually a treasure of the fairy family, called a bracelet of escape, it has no other purpose, it's just for you fortune-tellers, so that you can't see my face and can't calculate my fate. You’ve said it eight hundred times, can you put it another way?”

Mr. Li Tang said: "One thing I dare to say is that your life experience is related to this bracelet."

Long Chi was too lazy to talk to Mr. Li Tang.When her master picked her up from the pile of corpses on the corpse beach, she was only less than a month old, and she only had this bracelet on her body. Any fool would know that this bracelet is related to her life experience.

While talking with Mr. Li Tang, she came to the Sancha alley in front of the house.

Mr. Li Tang said: "Remember to make my breakfast." He waved his feather fan and went to Shitanzi.

Longchi continued to fetch water, and she went back and forth three times to fill up the water tank and light the fire for cooking.

She was born afraid of fire and didn't like the feeling of being roasted by fire. When she was a child, she didn't even dare to go near the stove, and she didn't dare to help her master light a fire until she was six or seven years old.

There is no food in her family, but the rice she eats is different from what the villagers eat.Her family uses five-color spirit rice for cooking. The rice grains are much fuller than ordinary rice, oval, round and round like pearls, with a hazy five-color halo on the surface.Five-color spiritual rice must be boiled in clean water. If it is boiled in the turbid water of Mr. He's house, the cooked rice will be dark yellow and rotten into a ball.After being boiled with the water from the gourd well, the rice grains are milky white, one grain after another. The hot water vapor floats on the rice and gathers without dispersing. When placed in the sun, it will faintly glow with colorful light.

This rice is only available at Taiping Temple in the town, and people in the village can't even buy it.However, if a family has a baby, you can come to her house and ask for a handful of rice, which will be cooked into porridge for the baby.The child cooks porridge with ten grains of rice every day. After eating for a month, his body is very strong. There are very few children in the village who die due to illness.

The master said that the tidal flat village is close to Shitanzi, and there are too many corpses buried in Shitanzi, so it is inevitable that the filthy atmosphere will infect the villagers. Newborn children are the most vulnerable, and even a little filthy atmosphere can kill them.The aura contained in this five-color spiritual rice can help newborns resist evil and strengthen their bodies.

Longchi lives next to Shitanzi all the year round, and does the work of burying corpses. Taoist Yuxuan of Taiping Temple often sends her young disciple Gua Chu to give her Lingmi.She heard the hexagram and said at the beginning that Taoist Yuxuan sent people to send Lingmi before, but her master refused to accept her. Later, when she was picked up, her master saw that she was difficult to support, so she went to Taiping Temple to ask Taoist Yuxuan to ask for rice.

Occasionally when she went to Taiping Temple, Aunt Yuxuan asked about her master's recent situation, and she always sighed: "It's a pity!"

As for what is a pity, Aunt Yuxuan never told her.

She cooked the meal, and Mr. Li Tang came over to eat on time.

Mr. Li Tang has a small appetite, and can only eat half a bowl for a meal, but every time he eats the bowl is cleaner than if he licked it.

She eats a lot, and recently her appetite has increased again, and she needs to eat three and a half bowls for a meal to be full.She was worried that she would make Taoist Yuxuan poor.

After Mr. Li Tang put down the bowls and chopsticks in Longchi, he couldn't help but sighed: "The rice bucket." It wasn't a curse, it was a compliment.So edible.If his master didn't go there, his appetite would be inferior to Longchi's.This five-color spiritual rice is unusual, if you eat too much, you will burst your meridians with qi, which can range from disability to death.Long Chi eats so much and is still alive and kicking, which shows his profound skill.

Longchi almost stuck his chopsticks into Mr. Li Tang's nostrils.After eating her food, she scolded her for being an idiot!She snorted heavily, not bothering with him, put the bowl of rice she had left for Master into a food box, and brought the food box to Master to deliver.

She ran fast with the lunch box, and Mr. Li Tang was able to keep up with her at first, but it wasn't long before she left him behind and disappeared.

When she arrived at Bamenzhai, she saw that Yin Qi had receded from the cliffs on both banks to the bottom of the cliffs.Even on a sunny morning, the surface of the river is still filled with ghost fog, and nothing can be seen except the top of the seven-story building, but there are crashing sounds and screams from time to time, and people can be seen coming from ghosts along the river. Floating out of the mist and floating on the water, there is no struggle, and it is not known whether it is dead or alive.

When she climbed up the small mountain, she saw that the small mountain was full of people, almost unable to fit.

Beitang Weiji of Jishi Medical Center stood together with his two little drug boys named Mingyue and Shenqiu. The master of the Taiping Temple, Taoist Priest Yuji, and the glamorous and beautiful Taoist nun Yuxuan brought a dozen of Taiping Temple's priests. The little Taoist priests huddled together.The one-legged king of the blacksmith shop was standing on the edge of the cliff leaning on a cane, followed by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy who was as strong as a calf. That was his only son, Wang Tie.Mr. Wu, the black, skinny ghost-like old man from the coffin shop, also came with his two apprentices, old man Zhong from the incense shop, Grandma Bai from the town's famous dancing fairy, and a man from the next village who arranged weddings and weddings for others. Mr. Yin Yang is here.

They were all old acquaintances, Long Chi greeted them, went to his master, handed him the food box, and said, "Master, eat."

Santu Daoist said "hmm", took the food box with no expression on his face, and calmly picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Longchi turned his head, and saw Taoist Yuxuan looking at her master, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as if she was smiling, the light in her eyes was like the ripples of sunlight shining on the water, which was moving.Longchi thought to himself: "Master Yuxuan must want to be my teacher's wife." She asked, although she and her master are cultivators, her master wears Taoist robes all the year round, but they are not monks, so they can get married.
