Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 112 Immortal Gourd
Qin Chuan dug a pit not far from the well, buried the pear tree seeds, and watered it.In fact, Huangsha secretly buried Yuanye's body under the pit.

Of course, pear tree seeds did not grow pear trees all at once, as in the story of planting pears.

What's more, the Taoist priests in the original story now only have clothes and hats left.

Really teach people emotion.

But the pear tree seeds don't grow too slowly. Once watered, they will soon take root and germinate.

Wang Fu was stunned, "Liu Xian, have you changed the way of immortality?"

Qin Chuan smiled: "Perhaps spring is coming soon."

Wang Fu: "It grows faster than bamboo."

According to folklore, there is a punishment called bamboo punishment in Xiuyiwei, which is to take advantage of the fast-growing characteristics of bamboo.Wang Fu has also heard of it, but he knows that that kind of bamboo is more special than ordinary bamboo.

Of course Qin Chuan couldn't tell Wang Fu that there was a dead man buried under the pear tree.

"Brother Wang, why don't you go back?"

"You don't even leave me for a meal."

"Because I'm going to go out and go to the country."

"Then I'll go too."

"There will be unclean things. It's okay for me to be here, but I'm leaving. I don't know if I will follow you."

Wang Fu waved his hand quickly, "I have joint pains these days, so I need to go back and recuperate first."

"Remember to practice."

"it is good."

...

...

Qin Chuan went to the countryside to go to the Kitchen God Temple in Zheng Village.

A few days ago, when he was preparing for the relocation of the Earth Temple, he put the soul-receiving rice on the shrine of the Kitchen God Temple by the way, and asked Sun Shan to help supplement the soul-receiving rice with the power of the Kitchen God.

Of course Sun Shan agreed.

He was worried that he would not be able to do his best for Qin Chuan.

Today, it happened to be the day we agreed to pick up the soul rice.

Nothing happened along the way, and Qin Chuan was also fine. He slowly came to the Kitchen God Temple.

On the road, he also met villagers who knew him but he didn't know.Not Zheng Village, not Qin Village, probably people from other villages in Shiliba Township.

Anyway, Qin Chuan has long been a well-known handsome young man in ten miles and eight villages.

He walked slowly and did not arrive at the Kitchen God Temple until evening.

At this time, every household raises cooking smoke, so there is no need to say polite words to so many unfamiliar villagers.For the peasant family, eating is more important than seeing a handsome man who came back from the city.

When we arrived at the Kitchen God Temple, inside the statue, Sun Shan's Dharma image escaped from the inside, and he could only see it when he opened his Dharma eyes.

"Immortal Chief, you have to wait another hour to get the full power of the soul harvesting rice. You have to wait."

"Well, I came early."

Sun Shan's Dharma image returned to the statue, and continued to supplement the divine power for the soul-shouling rice.

It's not that he is lazy, but that he wants to further strengthen the effect of the soul harvesting rice. These days are very tiring.

Moreover, the incense in the Kitchen God Temple will not really flourish until after the "sacrifice to the kitchen" on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

In the current Kitchen God Temple, the first real sacrifice to the kitchen has not yet been held.

Qin Chuan then meditated cross-legged in the corner by the door, not performing the Hunyuan Boy Kung Fu, otherwise the masculine energy in his body would affect the Kitchen God.

He just circulated his primordial spirit to do some induction work with the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.

This can be called the cultivation of the unity of man and nature.

In essence, it is to use the primordial spirit to deepen the connection with the heavenly way of this world.The feeling is deep, and if there is any trouble or danger, it will come on a whim in advance.

Of course, ordinary trivial matters are not worth a whim, only those troubles and dangers that are not small, will this happen.

It's cold on the ground in winter now.

Qin Chuan sat cross-legged and meditated. Although he didn't deliberately stimulate his blood, the ground still gathered a trace of warmth under the induction of the primordial spirit.

Gradually, even the Kitchen Temple became warmer.

Dark clouds gather outside the temple, the north wind blows, and it rains coldly.

Next to the Kitchen God Temple is the country road, and after a certain distance is the official road, there are many travelers coming and going.The temple was built in such a location, naturally for the sake of incense.

And there's an added bonus.

Because when passing by, encountering this kind of rainy day, or after nightfall, you can’t find a place to live. If you see such a temple on the road, you can take a rest for one night and continue your journey tomorrow morning.

If there is no such place, it will inevitably disturb the village. These trips are mixed, and if you meet bad people and make a joke, it will be troublesome.

Amidst the sound of rain, some human movements came from outside.

Several passers-by went into the temple to hide from the rain.

They are not locals, and they all have some kung fu.

They were noisy at first, but the conversation in the sound of rain reached Qin Chuan's ears. The general idea was that because there was no guide, they couldn't go into the town to find a hotel to stay in. There were no wild shops nearby, so it seemed that they had to stay in this small temple tonight. Make do with it.

Someone muttered that there was a half-moon slope nearby, and there was a manor with dozens of rooms. They said they didn't want to live here, so they went to live in the manor on half-moon slope.

Immediately no one complained.

The manor on Banyuepo is a ghost village.

These foreigners have heard of it.

After entering, someone shouted: "It's really warm."

The companion pulled up the skirt and pointed to someone inside.

When they saw Qin Chuan's attire, they bowed their hands immediately.Because Qin Chuan was dressed as a scholar, I don't know if they heard what they said just now that there is no way to guide them.

In short, you should be more polite, so as not to encounter nerds or straightforward people, and drag them to go to the government, that would be bad.

They are not robbers who kill people and steal goods, but the little officials who lead the way ask for too much price, and they are reluctant to part with the money, so they choose to lead the way without a way.

This is also a manifestation of the current corruption of Gangji.

Nowadays, the card points along the roads in various places are not as strict as they used to be.

Because disasters occurred in many places, too many people fled.

It can't be blocked, people want to survive.

Qin Chuan didn't care where they were going, and these people didn't want to cause trouble, so everyone calmed down.Fortunately, the Kitchen God Temple was warmer than they expected.

They have been a little tired for a long time.

Several can fall asleep against the wall.

Sleeping may be contagious, slowly falling asleep and falling asleep.Xu said that the temple was filled with the incense of Shinto, and this dream was extraordinarily sweet.

When they woke up, they found that Qin Chuan had left.

Because there was no guide, they were afraid that Qin Chuan would report to the officials, so they decided to leave immediately before dawn, when the rain outside had stopped.

Before leaving, he worshiped the Kitchen God for peace of mind.

I heard that the Kitchen God likes to make small reports. They dare not do big evils, and some people have done small bad things. Pray to the Kitchen God for peace of mind.

...

...

Qin Chuan brought home the soul-recovering rice, a total of nine grains of soul-recovering rice, and now each grain is moist, full and shiny.

Sun Shan really put his heart into it.

The master of collecting souls is not an offensive magic weapon.

It is very convenient to clean up remnants of souls.

Qin Chuan returned home leisurely and contentedly when the rain stopped and the moon rose. Even if he restrained his breath, there were no mountain spirits and ghosts nearby to trouble him.

Under the governance of Zhou Zhifu, Lingzhou Prefecture is much more peaceful than other places.

It's just that the relegation of the imperial court has already come down, and Zhou Zhifu will not be far away when he takes office, and the position of the City God in the future of Lingzhou Mansion may also be temporarily vacant.

The City God is not something that just anyone can sit on.

Soon time came to the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Mr. Liu came to the door again.

He looked at the manuscript and said that there was nothing to revise, and then asked: "When you went to pick up people, did you see the statue outside the temple?"

Qin Chuan nodded, "Well, maybe I accidentally touched some mechanism. I blame me for being too anxious."

Old Liu smiled and said, "It's because I didn't arrange it well. How did I know that there are experts in Lingzhou Mansion, who will settle the matter quickly."

While speaking, he gave Qin Chuan a meaningful look.

Qin Chuan said that I don't know anything, and it is impossible to admit it.

Old Liu continued: "The statue is Lord Qiantang, this time there is a little trouble."

"How to say?"

"The matter of the god statue has something to do with the Dragon Palace. This trouble is not big or small. But if you don't want to step into the Shinto, you have to leave Yujiang for a period of time after the beginning of spring, at the end of February at the latest, otherwise you can only Let you take over the position of Yujiang Dragon Lord."

Qin Chuan: "Just because of Lord Qiantang's statue?"

Old Liu: "It's probably like this. The specific reason is hard to say clearly. There are reasons for Dragon Palace and you. But I can solve it, but you need to leave for a while."

"How long?"

"Six months will do."

"That is not bad."

"I'm sorry for you about this matter. You can accept this thing."

Old Liu took out a gourd.

Fortunately, it doesn't look like a purple-gold-red gourd, but a blue gourd, not too big or too small, and it fits very well when tied around the waist.

"What is its origin?"

Qin Chuan was still very curious.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu did not say that the gourd is a strand of fairy vines from the beginning of chaos, the creation of heaven and earth.

"This is a relic of Mr. Qiantang. No one knows the exact origin. You refine it with your soul, and you can use it to contain things in the future."

"Is it okay to live?"

"It's also possible. Gourds can gather spiritual energy. If you take that little snail demon into it, it must be helpful to her. At least it can extend her life for a few years. This is a treasure in the universe that can hold living things. It is rare in the world, so try not to Leaving out the details, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. This thing is my compensation for you. In addition, I can promise you three things, as long as it is within the scope of my ability and does not violate the purpose of my life. "

Qin Chuan took the gourd and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. It's just that I haven't thought about it yet."

"You'd better figure it out quickly, I don't have much work left."

"Then please live a little longer."

"Haha, I love hearing that."

"By the way, the biography of Liu Yi will be released tomorrow. Is there really no need to revise it?" Qin Chuan accepted the gourd and raised his service attitude to another level.

"No, actually the content is not that important. As long as the story can be passed on."

"it is good."

"You don't ask why?"

"Too lazy to guess."

"Then I ask you to guess once."

Qin Chuan pondered for a while, and then said, "Probably because I don't want to be forgotten."

Whether it's Lord Qiantang, or those 60 creatures...

What is real death?

Probably no one remembers.

In fact, without the biography of Liu Yi, Lord Qiantang would hardly be forgotten, because Qin Chuan learned his swordsmanship.

Elder Liu sighed softly, "That's right."

He then left a bag of dragon scale fruit and left.

Qin Chuan likes Liu Lao being straightforward.

He first put away the dragon scale fruit, then entered the practice room, and began to refine the gourd with the primordial spirit.Yuanshen quickly refined it, and then understood the function of the gourd.

There is a space the size of a small pond inside, and the gourd is born with the effect of gathering spirits. The strength of the aura inside is about [-]% of the effect of gathering spirits when Ying Ning transforms on a full moon night.

Not too much, but not too little.

In addition to gathering spirits, it can also gather evil spirits and condense evil spirits.

When the evil spirit is condensed to a certain level, it can be further compressed by using the power of the soul to form things such as evil spirit flying knives.

This is the attack attribute of the gourd.

As for storing living things, you need to get the consent of the other party. You can't take living things in casually.

After refining the soul, Qin Chuan didn't need to use spells.If you lend it to someone else, you need a spell.This can be set by Qin Chuan himself.

Gourd does not have its own spirit now.

If Qin Chuan needs it, he can refine a divine soul to make it a tool spirit.

He has no such plan for now.

In short, Liu Lao took out this treasure, not only to make him give up the position of Dragon Lord, but also to let him go in a hurry.

It seems that I really have to leave Lingzhou for a while.

But before that, we still have to pass the year.

Zhou Zhifu's transfer order also came into effect after the year.

He will be relegated to Danzhou.

As the saying goes, the ends of the earth.

Danzhou is almost a cape, a very remote place.Many officials heard that they were going to Danzhou to take office, and they would rather die than go.

Going there, it is easy to die in a foreign land.

But the prefect of Zhou will definitely go.

When the memorial to welcome the Buddha bone relic was submitted, he had already made relevant preparations.

I haven't come to Qin Chuan recently, and I don't want to implicate Qin Chuan because of my own affairs.

In addition, the Huang family also kept a low profile.

It is said that the new magistrate belongs to the faction of the Huang family, so the Huang family has kept a low profile recently and did not want to cause trouble, so as not to disturb the matter.

This is very good, everyone can have a good year in peace.

Not long after Mr. Liu left, a person Qin Chuan knew came, and Qin Chuan was a little surprised by the appearance of this person.

The opponent is Cao Shan.

It was the one who was framed by Huang Si of the Huang family.

Yuan Ye approached Qin Chuan precisely for Cao Shan to repay Qin Chuan's life-saving kindness by presenting the land deed to the god capital.

"Meet benefactor." Cao Shan greeted first.

"Brother Cao, why be so polite, I don't know why you came to see me?"

"Our family planned to move to Fengdu County under Linzhou in Berkshire a few years ago. This trip was to say goodbye to Mr. Engong. In addition, a monk from Lingqing Temple came to me and asked me about the title deed of the old house in Beijing. , I pretended that the land deed had been lost long ago, but I just saw that he was very unwilling, as if he was determined to get that thing. Thinking that this thing was already in the hands of benefactor, I came here to remind him. Because the document that passed the deed was covered with red at the yamen Yin, there is a record. As long as you go to the Yamen to find someone, you will definitely be able to ask. Maybe you will find Engong here."

"Lingqing Temple?"

Qin Chuan remembered that Yuanye was from Qingliang Temple to Lingqing Temple.It seems that the monks in Lingqing Temple asked about this matter, and it was Qingliang Temple who ordered them to do so.

But Cao Shan is right, this matter will find him sooner or later.He had also made preparations, but he hadn't seen anyone from Qingliang Temple looking for him. According to Cao Shan, it seemed that the other party hadn't found him yet.

If I want to find Cao Shan, I will find him soon.

Qin Chuan nodded lightly: "Thank you Brother Cao for your kind reminder."

Cao Shan's family will go to Ba County to finalize the situation. Ba and Shu are integrated, but it is close to the middle of Shu. Xiaoqian is practicing in Emei in the middle of Shu.

But the county where they settled is interesting, called Fengdu.

In my impression, Fengdu has another name of ghost town.

It's just that Cao Shan moved all the way there, so he must have someone to rely on.

Fengdu is naturally not as prosperous as Lingzhou, but once Zhou Zhifu goes, the Cao Shan family will definitely be afraid that the Huang family will make trouble again, so it is understandable to want to move away.

Since ancient times, the strong dragon has been difficult to suppress the local snake.

What's more, they are not considered strong dragons, but poor families.

Qin Chuan invited Cao Shan to drink a cup of tea, and then sent him away.

Even if Qingliang Temple finds Qin Chuan, he is not afraid.It really made him anxious, so he used the Shinto martial arts of Qingliang Temple that he learned from Yuanye to get into trouble, and guaranteed to make Qingliang Temple too busy to take care of itself.

Right now, Qingliang Temple does not dare to act near the East China Sea, otherwise the Mojiao clan in the East China Sea would not be vegetarians.

The Qingliang Temple and the Mojiao clan had formed a deep hatred in the Lingzhou Mansion Buddhist bone relic incident, otherwise they would not have ordered Lingqing Temple to come forward and look for the land deed.

Since Qingliang Temple valued that thing so much, he couldn't give it away.

When he arrives in Shendu someday, take a look at the Cao family's old house, what is the mystery that makes Qingliang Temple so unwilling to give up.

In the next few days, Liu Yi's biography began to spread widely.

It has to be said that the son-in-law genre has quite a mass base among the people. Even in Qin Chuan's modern times, the novels of the son-in-law genre still had a great market, and they were all the rage for a long time.

He remembered that there was a novel called Zuo Son, which he started writing when he was in college, and when he was [-] years old, he was still writing it until the time travel did not end.

It can be described as a lifetime series.

Fortunately, the biography of Liu Yi is not a series of living years. The plot of the full text is tortuous, the structure is rigorous, the language is concise, and a twisted story is expressed in a short and concise space.

The main body of Liu Yi's biography is still the story of the dragon girl. The story of the dragon girl comes from Buddhist scriptures. Before Liu Yi's biography, the description of the dragon girl was mostly monotonous and repetitive.

As soon as Liu Yi's news came out, the image of Dragon Girl became much more plump.

For a moment, the popularity of Dragon Girl surpassed that of Ah Qing in the hearts of Lingzhou scholars.

It's no wonder that most scholars are called heartless people. The speed of this change of heart is comparable to that of readers at a certain point.It's really the newcomer over the old.

As Liu Yi's biography spread, many storytellers joined in.

As a result, comments on various characters in Liu Yi's biography began to appear, and Ming Pao excerpted a lot of comments about Liu Yi's biography.

There are positive and negative comments on the three protagonists in it, and there are all kinds of them.

There is also the belief that the prince broke the law with the same crime as the common people, and that the Qiantang Lord has lost countless lives, but in the end he was pardoned for his crimes, which is really outrageous.

However, more evaluations are still concentrated on Long Nu and Liu Yi, who told Liu Lao to stuff the money.

Qin Chuan received money to write the manuscript, with a clear conscience.

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

Gradually, incense about the dragon girl appeared, and these incense came to the Dragon Palace in Yujiang, and entered the body of the dragon girl who was practicing the Taishang Dragon Transformation Art.

The dragon girl benefited from this, and the practice of the Supreme Dragon Transformation Art, which had always been elusive, was now opened up by a small gap.

She inspected the source and discovered that it was related to Shinto incense.

So I told my grandfather about it.
