Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 205
After Ma Zhou saluted, he called Cui Du, "Brother Cui, come and help me."

Cui Du came over, "Prince Bin, don't you really want to carry the statue on your back and go to a bar for a drink?"

"A real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he not keep his word. Brother Cui, just say you can help me?"

Cui Du smiled helplessly, thinking that although Ma Zhou was free and unrestrained, he would not be crazy. Is it really necessary to ask the gods to eliminate disasters and solve difficulties as he said?
Please drink is just an excuse.

The two worked together to move the statue down. At first it weighed a thousand catties, and they struggled to lift the statue out of the temple step by step.At this time, Cui Du didn't dare to let go.

If the god statue fell to the ground, it would be blasphemy if there really was a god, and I'm afraid it would be even worse.

The more he walked out, the more tired Cui Du became.

It feels like the statue is getting heavier and heavier.

His arms didn't seem to be his own anymore, so he could only hold on.

Seeing that he was about to lose his hold, Ma Zhou said, "Brother Cui, it's best not to give up halfway in a man's work."

Cui Du is an offshoot of the Cui family in Qinghe, seeing what Ma Zhou said, he dared not humiliate his family in front of his fellow villagers.

They walked out of the collapsed mountain gate step by step, as if they had crossed a boundary.

Cui Du felt that the statue, which was as heavy as Mount Tai, suddenly became much lighter.

At this time, the two of them noticed a muffled thunder in the mountain, and looked at the Taoist temple at the same time, only to see that the Taoist temple collapsed in an instant, as if some restriction had been broken, and turned into ashes in an instant.

As if it never existed.

The two looked at each other, and quickly carried away the statue and continued down the mountain to the restaurant.

Ma Zhou found that the black air on their faces was still thick and lingering, and the restaurant was still shrouded in a layer of black air invisible to ordinary people.

At this moment, lights were lit in the store.

Seeing this, the scholar Liu was shocked and said, "You really invited the statue here."

At this time, the statue of the gods bloomed with a clear light, and black mist poured in from outside the store, which was really scary.

Everyone suddenly woke up from the wine and fled in all directions.

Cui Du also wanted to run, but Ma Zhou grabbed him and told him not to move.

In the black mist, two lanterns appeared. When Cui Du looked over, he realized what kind of lantern it was. It was clearly the eyes of a big snake with its bloody mouth wide open. The eyes were like lanterns, emitting a terrifying light.

Those who escaped were entangled in the black mist, and all of them stood still, like statues.

At this time, the ancient sword on the back of the statue was unsheathed.

Immediately, the black mist subsided like a tide.

Indescribable light emerged, dispelling the night and turning it into day.

The god statue was peeled off like an egg shell, and a young Taoist priest walked out, wearing a black Tai Chi robe.The Tai Chi pattern is generally the same as that on the shrine.

The ancient sword returns to its sheath.

Cui Du was still dumbfounded.

Ma Zhou paid homage first, "Ma Zhou from Qinghe pays homage to Daoist Lord."

The young Taoist smiled, "Didn't you tell me to invite me to drink? Where's the wine?"

Cui Du came to his senses at the same time and hurriedly greeted him.

Ma Zhou went to bring a few jars of wine by himself.

The situation outside is very strange.

The shopkeeper and waiter of the inn are like woodcarvings, with no look in their eyes.The bodies of those traveling with Ma Zhou and others were immobilized, and only their eyeballs could move.

A giant snake is fixed at the door of the store, and its two eyes have replaced the store's lanterns to attract customers and ward off evil spirits.

The young Taoist was none other than Qin Chuan. He invited the two of them to sit down and first raised a bowl to drink.Ma Zhou was quite free and easy, and drank it all in one gulp.Cui Du's hands trembled slightly, his mood was agitated and it was difficult to calm down.

He actually drank with the gods.

"Two friends, just took me out of the mountain gate, and we should form a good relationship. I don't know what you want in life?" He asked slowly, like a master on a spring tour, asking his disciples about his life aspirations.

This made Cui Du feel a sense of affinity in his heart, and he was not so afraid.

And Cui Du keenly realized that this was an opportunity.

He is just a branch of the Cui family, and it is not difficult to become an official, but it is impossible to be the governor of a continent.

"The ambition of the students in life is to be the governor of a state, to protect the land and the people." Cui Du said bluntly.He has little talent and knowledge, and dare not have more extravagant hopes.

Qin Chuan smiled, "With Qinghe Cui's family background, it's not difficult to become a governor."

Cui Du: "The Taoist Lord also knows me, Qinghe Cui?"

Qin Chuan smiled indifferently, "How can the first-class readers today not know."

He looked at Ma Zhou again and asked, "What about you?"

Ma Zhou shook his head, "Just now, I invited Taoist Lord to drink, and the intention was to resolve this calamity. Since Taoist Lord offered to help, how could Ma Zhou ask for anything else?"

He looked at Cui Du again, "Brother Cui didn't understand the meaning just now."

Qin Chuan laughed, "Of course I know the meaning of this, but when a person enters a temple, how can he not ask for something for himself? Isn't it better for me to be in front of you than those clay and wood sculptures?"

Cui Du thought to himself, if Ma Zhou hadn't brought him out of the statue, he might have been killed by a monster just now.It's a pity that Ma Zhou has a weird personality, don't miss this opportunity, he said: "Dao-jun, brother Ma has the talent to help the world, but he lacks an opportunity and no one appreciates it."

Qin Chuan looked at Ma Zhou with a smile, "How about I grant you the position of prime minister?"

Ma Zhou withdrew from the table and saluted, "Taoist, matters of the divine way belong to the divine way, and matters of the human way belong to the human way. The prime minister is the key point of the country, how can it be decided by the Taoist king? If so, the authority of the divine way is too great."

"Then what about him just now?" Qin Chuan withdrew his smile.

The invisible pressure made Cui Du unable to breathe.

His heart was bitter, Ma Zhou's eccentric temperament offended the gods.

"As Brother Cui, Qinghe Cui's identity, step into the official career. As long as you are diligent in government and love the people, and make political achievements, you will definitely be appreciated by His Majesty, and you will be able to become the governor of a state in the future. But Brother Cui doesn't know His Majesty, and he still goes back to the past. For example, I think I can't be the governor of the state. The words of the Taoist monarch can give Brother Cui a lot of confidence. He will be less worried about gains and losses, and things will go smoothly." Ma Zhou explained slowly.

Qin Chuan stopped talking and invited the two to continue drinking.

The autumn night is chilly and chilly, and after drinking wine, I feel much more comfortable.

But Cui Du saw that Daojun's expression was cold, and the wine didn't taste good.He finally couldn't stand the invisible pressure,

"Mr. Dao, what about the people outside?"

"After dawn, it will be fine. It's just that the evil spirits invaded, and you will inevitably get sick. They left you and ran away just now, why do you still care about them?"

"The students are a little angry in their hearts, and they can't bear to see them like that."

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, the wine was just finished.With warm eyes, he looked at Ma Zhou, "Your life will be 48 years old, but it is a good fate for you to let me go out of the mountain gate. I will add another 52 years to your life."

After he finished speaking, he smiled, "It's a matter of God to extend life to people. Don't say that I have exceeded my authority."

He laughed and went out.

At this time, the sky was bright.

time flies.

There are singing voices coming from outside the door, far and wide:

The generals said that they were named Marquis, and the piccolo and long songs leaned on the building alone.Everything goes with the wind and rain, rest, the show horse Tainan Jinluotou.

Don't stay behind to urge alcohol, the taste of alcohol seems to go away this autumn.The flower smiled on the old man's head, shyly, and the white-haired flower was not relieved.
