Lingxian Zhenjun

To the north of Jiangcheng County, Dajiang is blocking the front.

Chen Yuan led the fat Taoist and the little Taoist to a remote path with few people. This is what he once walked in that world. He didn't expect that after Datong, it would still be preserved, which surprised him a little.

After leaving the range of Jiangcheng County, Xiao Dao Tong's child's nature was finally revealed. Without the restraint brought by this Taoist robe in front of others, the skills learned from the fat Taoist, climbing trees to dig out bird eggs, and fishing in rivers, that is called a Proficient, the corners of Lao Sun's mouth twitched.

"This kid usually tells him to recite the scriptures, but he can't memorize them anyway. He can learn these things as soon as he learns... I don't know who I look like. Hey, boss, why are you watching me? Can you understand everything in this way?! "

Chen Yuan looked away, too lazy to listen to his sophistry, but seeing Xiaodaotong playing wildly around, she felt that this was the childhood a child should have, but seeing Xiaodaotong sliding down from the tree, offering treasures with the newly caught chicks It seems to show the Taoist, as if it coincides with the appearance of the crazy old man.

After all, Master also likes to play like crazy.

"Yingxian, give me the bird."

Chen Yuan seldom spoke, but when she spoke, Xiao Daotong obediently handed over the chick in her hand. In my impression, this Mr. Chen was better than his master and he had to be obedient.

"We practitioners, don't kill rashly. If you eat it for food, it's okay, but if you play with life, it's wrong." Speaking with a child can understand, Chen Yuan will raise her hand, The chick in the hand was wrapped in mana, lifted to the treetop out of thin air, and gently released to the nest.Afterwards, he asked Qu Xiaodaotong in a gentle tone.

"Do you understand?"

The latter nodded: "Understood, you can eat, but you can't play around."

"Ah."

Chen Yuan smiled and gave her approval without hesitation, which made Xiao Daotong quite happy, as if she had understood a lot of truths, and she didn't do as much nonsense as before. Well, it would be great if she didn't pull a big snake with thick wrists from the grass.

The fat Taoist hurried up, took the snake in his hands, quickly wrapped it around a few times, tied it with a bow, and stuffed it into a yellow cloth bag.

"This can be eaten, made into dragon and phoenix soup, it will be a great tonic."

"It's up to you."

Chen Yuan just tried to reason with the child, but unexpectedly, the fat Taoist took advantage of it, causing the corner of his mouth to twitch.

The three of them chatted while walking, and the fat Taoist talked endlessly about cooking. After about half an hour, they walked out of this forest path and arrived at the foot of a mountain. There was a big river in front of them, and there was a fishing village nearby.

The rice fields were getting yellow, and many farmers were still busy pulling the dead ears in the fields. When they saw Chen Yuan and the other three, they just glanced at them and continued to work.

If there is a fishing village, there will naturally be a ferry, and it is also possible to cross the river by boat.

The fat Taoist hadn’t gone back to the north for many years, excitedly urged Chen Yuan to hurry up, and passed along this dirt road. When he saw the ferry ahead, there were many people standing there. It seemed that they were wearing clothes from the fishing village just now. village people.

Everyone frowned and whispered to each other, while the old men and men who looked like fishermen in front were frowning and looked at the mess.

Chen Yuan squeezed into the crowd and frowned. The ground was full of yellow talismans, half-burned incense candles, and chicken, duck and pig heads were also scattered on the ground.

"The three of you are going to cross the river?" Seeing Chen Yuan's face, a villager next to him said, "If you can't get through, all the good boats in the village have been requisitioned by the government and taken to help the army cross the river."...

"Isn't there still a boat?" The fat Taoist pointed to a small boat tied to the bridge in the distance.

The villager just now shook his head and sighed.

"If there is one, we can't pass it. Grandpa Jiangshen won't let it pass. Look at the tributes over there. All of them have been overturned. We won't accept our things."

"Brother, do you see what I'm wearing?"

The fat Taoist shook his robe, but the surrounding villagers took a look, and someone sneered: "Who knows if it's true or not, there are many Taoist monks bluffing and cheating these days, and a monk came here a few days ago. The next day, he was caught with money and ran away.”

"Fart, this way is a real monk, and you don't get a penny, you just say where is that Jiangshen?! Let me show you this way!"

After the fat Taoist finished speaking, he quickly turned his head and said in a low voice, "Master, don't rob me this time."

"Ask what's going on first."

Chen Yuan was afraid that the old grandson would make trouble. Since he was called to stop Jiangshen, he probably had the right way. Besides, he did feel a faint evil spirit remaining on the surface of the river.

The fat Taoist nodded, carrying the mahogany sword on his back, let Xiao Daotong follow, strode to the front of the crowd, and asked which fishermen to go to.

"Which one of you will tell me, who is He Jiangshen? Why are you angry again?"

Several fishermen saw a Taoist priest, and hesitated to speak, but the villagers nearby shouted: "Master Taoist, it is the old Wu family who caused the disaster."

An old man who was named suddenly turned red and then turned pale, and yelled at the good-natured villager, and then the old man explained to the fat Taoist: "Master Daoist, don't listen to their nonsense, it's not my fault, It is clear that Jiang Shen wanted my son to be handsome, so he insisted on marrying his daughter."

"It's such a good thing..." The fat Taoist's eyes lit up, and he suddenly heard Chen Yuan coughing behind him, and quickly straightened his face, "Why, you should explain it in detail."

Seeing that the Taoist priest was not afraid, the old man let out an 'ah' and squatted down on the ground.

"Taoist, to be honest, the old man does not agree with this marriage. How can anyone marry a bastard... A few days ago, the old man took his son to the river to fish, and suddenly there was a heavy rain, and he stopped at the nearest shore in a panic. Unexpectedly, there was a family there, the big family was quite grand, thinking about using the eaves to hide from the rain, but an old man with white beard and white hair came out, not only did not drive me father and son away, but also invited us in for dinner. After changing into clean clothes, while we were having dinner, the old man suddenly said that his daughter has not yet left the court, and she has taken a fancy to my son, whether she can get married."

The old man sighed again.

"...The other party is a big family. My father and son have been fishermen for generations. I wanted to refuse, but the face of the master was a little displeased, but I didn't mention it later. I just drank and ate with my father and son. Afterwards, I sent the two of us to the room to rest, but on the second day, I found that there was a large courtyard, and my father and son were sleeping by the river beach. I thought it was just a dream, but I didn’t know that my son had There is an extra marriage contract!
Back home, in the middle of the night, the old man heard the sound of gongs and drums, opened the door and saw, oh, there are all fish and shrimps in the river, they are so big! "

The old man made gestures, he was as tall as a human, "Wearing a red coat, he stopped at the door of my house, and the scene almost scared the old man to death, but the scary thing was still behind. In the sedan chair, there was a man with stubby limbs. , a bloated woman with a flower crown, a face like a jade plate, a big red mouth, protruding eyes, and there seems to be light shining in her eyes..."

"No blocking?" Chen Yuan couldn't help asking when she heard the story.

"It must be stopped, the old man's feet were so frightened at that time, they sent the woman in without saying a word, and dragged my son out of the room, worshiped heaven and earth forcefully, and left the woman alone, Take the empty sedan chair and leave."

"What happened later? How did you anger that Jiang Shen?"

"My son doesn't want to marry this woman like this. She's ugly, she's still a monster. He doesn't live in the same room as that woman, and she doesn't come out during the day and only shows up at night. My son can't stand it, and points at her every night. After a few days, the woman ran away crying, but after that, the fishing boats in our fishing village could not get out of the river, and were sent back by a strong wind as soon as they reached the river, and sometimes even the bottom of the boat was covered. Dig a big hole..."

The old man squatted on the ground, clapping his hands loudly: "What a crime!"

"One head has become a fine bastard."

The fat Taoist patted the old man on the shoulder to make him stand up, "I will let it know how powerful it is, and I will take care of your affairs."

He patted his chest and spoke decisively.
