Sword of Coming

In the territory of Dali, all the gods of mountains and rivers enshrined by the imperial court are nothing more than a clay statue and a temple in the eyes of the people. Even the gods of the Five Mountains are like this, without exception.

But if it is in Dongbaopingzhou outside Dali, let alone the great river gods like Tiefu River in Longquan and Chongdan River in Hongzhu Town, I am afraid it is an unpopular god like Longxuxi Hepo. As long as he can follow the With a good relationship with the local government, and the absence of a powerful Immortal Mansion sect nearby, they were able to build a Shanshui Mansion in an honest manner. The specifications of the Mansion were no different from those of the Huang Zi Gongqing of the secular court, or even exceeded.

The Hanshi River Water God, as one of the few gods in the Huangting Kingdom, spent many years building a luxurious mansion with a "Big Water" plaque on a section of the Hanshi River where there are no towns within a hundred miles. Thousand acres of land. It is only announced to the outside world that the owner of this place is the Chu family, the founding father of Huang Tingguo. The descendants of the Chu family have a good way of making money and have this huge business. In fact, the real owner is Hanshi Jiang Zhengshen.

Tonight, the mansion is brightly lit, with birds singing and dancing, and glasses of wine mingling among each other.

The house is full of wealth and wealth.

There are ever-burning lamps hanging on both walls, which are rare treasures in the mountain mansion. The price is not the lamps with exquisite shapes, but the drop of ambergris. Everlasting lamps are mostly used in places such as emperors' secret chambers and mausoleums. They only need an ordinary candle, and then put a drop of lamp oil taken from the oil of the deep-sea amber whale on the wick. If the quality of the ambergris is good enough, the lamp can last for hundreds of years, and The fragrance lasts for a long time and can calm the mind, not inferior to the best sandalwood.

There is a man in a green robe sitting high on the throne, holding a white jade wine cup and shaking it gently. The wine is golden yellow and thick and fragrant.

There is a circular patch embroidered on the chest of the man's robe, which is a golden dragon.

The twenty-odd guests in the hall who came from far away were all practitioners with good status. However, they still appeared to be courteous and courteous when facing this man in green robes. There was occasionally a trace of fear in their eyes and expressions. It was not just the guests. Respecting the master is so simple.

Qiulu Inn.

Inside the house, the boy in white had been gone for a long time. With the bright light, Chen Pingan finished carving the first white jade hairpin and looked up at Li Huai who was lying on the opposite side. "Would you rather carve the two characters Li Huai or Huai Yin? If you carve a name, it would be like Baoping and Shou." One, simple and clear, Huaiyin has a little bit of meaning.”

Li Huai was worried. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's up to you."

Chen Ping'an picked up the black jade hairpin and said, "How about using this one? The color matches Huaiyin better."

Li Huai nodded, then summoned up the courage to ask: "Chen Ping'an, will you punch Lin Shouyi to death just because you are angry? I think that even though Lin Shouyi became a qigong practitioner, he can't If he fights with you, I guess it will only be a matter of one or two punches. Actually, Lin Shouyi has a bad temper. He is more boring and has more curvy intestines than us, but he doesn't have any bad intentions..."

Chen Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you thinking about? How could I fight with Lin Shouyi?"

Li Huai timidly added, "In case Lin Shouyi takes the initiative to challenge you, Chen Ping'an, you can take action then, just teach him a lesson. Remember not to attack too harshly. Lin Shouyi is a son of a rich family, so don't I'm thick-skinned and I'll be fine with being beaten by Li Baoping a few times, but I don't think he can withstand the beating."

Chen Ping'an didn't know how to explain some things about people's hearts, so he could only say: "I will pay attention to it."

Li Huai was completely relieved now, and immediately with a smile on his face, he got up and ran to the small bookcase, took out the painted puppet and the silver ingot, sat down at the table, let the puppet step on the silver ingot, and asked casually: "Lin Shouyi told me before that all the big cities in the world will build the City God's Pavilion in accordance with the etiquette established by Confucianism for the dynasty. The county town has the City God's temple. The county guards and magistrates, parents and officials, will guard the side of the world, the City God. I am responsible for the security of the underworld, patrolling the territory and preventing ghosts and evil spirits from secretly causing trouble. Chen Ping'an, you said that the City God's Temple we went to before was so big and it was set up in the county town. Why is it still called a temple? No. Should it be called City God's Pavilion? Besides, we have been walking around the City God's Temple for so long during the day. Could it be that we have actually met the City God, but we just didn't recognize him?"

Chen Pingan thought for a while, "You have to ask Cui Dongshan about this."

Li Huai shook his head vigorously, "I don't like that guy, he's so weird and weird."

In a room, two girls, one big and one small, sat opposite each other with an oil lamp separated by them. One was wiping her bamboo flute, and the other was clasping her hands on her chest, looking at them eagerly.

The little girl in the red cotton jacket said: "Thank you, you like to snore at night, and your snoring is like thunder. I sleep in my tent at night, so far away from you, I can hear you."

The swarthy girl raised her head and smiled: "Sorry, I don't snore when I sleep."

Li Baoping raised an eyebrow, "How do you know you don't snore when you sleep?"

Xie Xie gently rubbed the bamboo flute with the pads of his fingers, deliberately imitating the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket's eyebrow raising gesture, "Because I am a Qi practitioner, the mountain god in your eyes."

Li Baoping raised his chin high and asked: "Then do you have a small book box?"

Thank you beyond words.

The little girl who finally came back victorious took out the pile of books from the bookcase and started reading at night. It was her favorite landscape travel book, which wrote about strange mountains and rivers, about mountain spirits and ghosts, and about scholars and fox fairies. . The little girl looked attentively, sometimes frowning, sometimes feeling enlightened, sometimes jumping for joy, sometimes being stunned.

Thank you all, he subconsciously stretched out a finger and gently touched the edge of his cheek.

Lin Shouyi sat in the small pavilion with his eyes closed, calmly concentrating, breathing in, and carefully feeling the "water flow" between heaven and earth. The big waves washed the sand, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and put the water that seemed to be drifting around the well with the water. The essence of Qi is picked up bit by bit and collected into the acupoints.

Even if there was a lot of noise coming from the old well, the young man remained indifferent. Fortunately, the target of the ghosts and ghosts floating out of the well was obviously not him, Lin Shouyi, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

The "Langlang Book on the Clouds" that Lin Shouyi saw at first glance on Qidun Mountain is a Taoist secret book on the practice of the Five Thunders Zhengfa. It involves the specific practice of the lower five realms. There are only some general words about it, but it falls down. In the hands of Lin Shouyi, who is good at calculation and deduction, the effect is amazing.

Soon, several qi palaces in Lin Shouyi's body felt a swelling feeling. Lin Shouyi was still unwilling to give up. He traveled all the way through mountains and rivers. He had never felt such a strong aura of pure spirit. Lin Shouyi did not want to miss it. Half an hour later, Lin Shouyi's face was rosy, like a hungry ordinary man who had no control over the big fish and meat and ate his fill in one breath.

Suddenly, someone slapped Lin Shouyi on the shoulder. Lin Shouyi burped and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. It was truly turbid air, filthy and fishy. The uninvited guest quickly waved his snow-white sleeves to disperse the acquired filth. Filthy, he complained: "You're such a coward, aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to death?"

Lin Shou was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Isn't the more the better when a Qi practitioner absorbs the spiritual energy hidden between heaven and earth?"

The young man in white said angrily: "As Xie Xie said, how can one wine glass hold a thousand kilograms of wine? The more the better? According to your statement, those guys who established the religion and claimed to be the ancestors have already swallowed up the spiritual energy of several worlds. Where are the opportunities for other Qi Practitioners? Of course, we must proceed step by step, and absorb as much spiritual energy as we dig out several caves."

Lin Shouyi felt a little scared and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The young man in white sat cross-legged and looked at the old well where spiritual energy was rising. However, this ethereal scene could only be seen by the Qi practitioners or martial arts masters who entered the hall. For ordinary people, even Putting my head into the well, I just felt it was cooler than elsewhere.

Young Cui Zhang turned around and smiled: "I saved your life, how about you lend me a talisman? It's a loan, and I will pay it back in the future."

Lin Shouyi hesitated for a moment.

Young Cui Han twitched his lips, "Don't worry, it's not the four most precious ones, it's just a very good, but not the best, gold powder talisman."

Lin Shou nodded and said, "Okay."

Cui Zhang snapped his fingers, slipped out a golden talisman from Lin Shouyi's arms, and fell into his palm. Cui Chang lowered his head and looked at it with admiration in his eyes.

Talisman paper is one of the foundations of the Taoist branch of the Talisman Sect. Common talisman paper in the world is yellow mounted paper. The next layer up is hard yellow paper called "Huang Xi", which is commonly used by Taoists all over the world. .

There are also some special cases, such as the cyan talisman paper with the reputation of "after the rain, the sky is sunny", and some colorful talisman papers, many of which are specially made by the emperor and other people, and are often used to reward civil and military ministers during festivals. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy a wealthy family.

Talisman paper is generally used for Taoist talismans. Taoist talisman is the authentic and fundamental talisman in the world, and is known as the ancestral line of many talismans. However, the talisman paper is not necessarily limited to paper such as yellow paper. Taoist immortals and land gods can draw talismans out of thin air and create a talisman without the need for actual talisman paper. Military strategists also have characters for killing and suppressing, and Confucianism also has scripture content. Compared with military strategists, it is a little more complicated, and the fonts are mostly in block letters. The regular script is divided into the fonts of seven or eight calligraphy masters, and there are many sayings such as "Ba Zheng" and "Zheng Jiu". Buddhism is famous for its seals. Although there are some talismans, they are relatively rare.

Lin Shouyi asked curiously: "What kind of magical power is this?"

Cui Zhang carefully put the gold powder talisman into his sleeve and said casually: "You will understand when you reach the middle five realms. At that time, Qi practitioners can condense their thoughts into heart strings. The level of Taoism and the depth of cultivation will determine the number of heart strings. The quantity and thickness of it. That’s what is called picking up objects from the air.”

Lin Shouyi is now at the pinnacle of the third level of Qi Practitioner. In just a few months, he has reached such a rapid pace that he can reach the sky in one step.

Not only because the young man was born to practice Taoism, but also because of A Liang's bottle of wine.

Rich people like to buy big snakes from woodcutters in the mountains and cut the bile of snakes into wine, which has amazing medicinal effects.

So one can imagine the mystery contained in the medicinal wine soaked in the demon elixir of an Ascension Realm great demon.

The young man in white stood up and said with a smile: "A Liang is your guide for practicing Taoism and mountain climbing. You must cherish this opportunity. If you don't cherish it, I will..."

Lin Shou asked bluntly: "What will happen?"

The young man in white changed his statement and said with a smile: "I will be unhappy."

The young Cui Chen's original statement was "I will kill you."

After Lin Shouyi's bulging feeling gradually faded, he began to close his eyes and concentrate again, using his body to hide the wind and gather water to build his own bridge of immortality.

The young man in white tiptoed, jumped out of the pavilion, walked towards the old well, and twirled the gold powder talisman borrowed from Lin Shouyi with his fingers.

Lin Shouyi shouted in a low voice: "Cui Dongshan, what are you going to do?!"

With a playful smile on his face, the young man in white walked to the mouth of the well and faced Lin Shouyi in the pavilion. The young man Cui Han raised his two fingers, gently shook the talisman between his fingers, stepped back, and slid into the well. At the same time, he silently recited: : "Avoid water."
