Chapter 1 Shangxian (this chapter is free)

The story begins in the dark barren mountains, around the noisy bonfire, and a magnificent and majestic world has opened up...

In the spring season, the weather is still cold.The night wind in the mountains and forests whined, and it blew into the main hall of the Taoist temple with only half of the gate left, but was staggered by the lively atmosphere inside.

In the middle of the main hall, a raging bonfire was burning, surrounded by more than a dozen men, drinking and eating meat, laughing at each other, sweating profusely, and it was very lively.

There was a black-faced man inside, sitting first under the head, with the loudest voice.He took a sip of strong wine, and shouted with the strength of his drink:

"Brother Xuanqing is here, and our brother's annual business is equivalent to ten years. This year's situation is better than last year, and everyone is earning a lot of money, and it is just around the corner!"

The whole hall responded loudly, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.The black-faced man laughed loudly, took another sip from the gourd, turned his head and saw that the "Brother Xuanqing" he was talking about didn't seem to have heard the flattery just now, and he was still posing in his usual posture, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, The eyelids seem to be closed but not closed, making a trick, it looks unpredictable.

The black-faced man took a deep breath in his heart, but still put on a respectful look on his face, and greeted: "Brother?"

Hearing the greeting, Xuan Qing opened his eyes. He had black beard and hair, bright skin, and his expression and demeanor were unhurried and dignified. He hummed: "What's the matter?"

The black-faced man salivated and said, "Brother, shall we still make offerings to Lao Lu this year?"

Xuan Qing glanced at him: "Except for Lu Guanshi, who else can talk in the mansion?"

The black-faced man shook his head greatly: "Let me tell you, the eyeballs of the surnamed Lu grow on the forehead, and it's the worst thing to talk about. It's better to go to the boss of the Chang family. This person is in charge of the Shrimp Beard Grass and has a good relationship with him." Now, you can get the price of high-grade if you take it in the past with ordinary quality, where can you find such a good thing?"

The Taoist glanced sideways, and said with a sneer, "I don't know much, don't you? That guy Chang Rong has earned a lot of money every year, and he has already raised his heart. If you want to pay tribute to him, how much will you need to feed him? Besides, That guy has fixed a few groups of regular customers, and he earns a quick and steady income every year, and he doesn't even bother to roll his eyes at us individual customers..."

Speaking of this, Xuan Qing paused, and Fang said: "Have you found the way?"

"No, no, just watching the big brother and that surnamed Lu fight, it's very hard, we can't see it..."

The black-faced man retracted his head when he said something disgusting to himself, and cursed in his heart: "Shit, why don't you just rely on someone surnamed Lu to give you some advice? Damn, you even called your godfather, why don't you sell it?" Is your wife going?"

He hated and feared the leading brother.He hated this person for stealing his original leadership position, but was also afraid that this person had a high-level cultivation base, which was already the pinnacle of ordinary practice, and he also had very exquisite talisman methods. Killing him would be like killing a chicken.

The two people here were fighting each other, but a person bumped into him outside and shouted: "There is a deal!"

In the main hall, everyone's spirits were lifted.It's so cold, could it be that this year's profit market is about to open?

Xuan Qing remained calm, thought for a while, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

The watchman outside was rubbing his hands and exhaling, when he heard the words, he immediately bent over and said, "The ones who run the bills, walk steadily, and the others can't see clearly."

Xuan Qing was a little dissatisfied, glanced at the person and saw that he was still respectful, that's all, he straightened his beard and murmured: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and you dare to walk alone, you are either stupid and bold, or you are capable... …Heizi, blow him up and listen to it.”

"Okay!"

The black-faced man grinned and looked around. The people next to him, needless to say, put their swords in their hands, and they could respond in time when the situation was wrong.Only Xuan Qing put on that inscrutable posture again, and the hall fell silent for a while.

Everyone said it was a Taoist temple, but in fact it was just a lonely room, regardless of the inside, it was more like an earth temple.Not long after, everyone in the hall heard footsteps coming from outside.Immediately there was a knock on the palace door, the visitor was very polite, and his voice was low and sweet:

"Is it convenient inside?"

Those in the hall were less polite, the black-faced man yelled roughly: "Where did you come from!"

"Looking for a place to rest."

The black-faced man's face collapsed, and the others also sighed.Judging from their experience, this is at most a small loach. Maybe there will be a day when it will eat fat, but it is destined to have no harvest tonight.

Seeing these people's tired and lazy looks, Xuan Qing stared at them. The black-faced man frowned and laughed busily: "Picking 'medicine'? It's the grass mower... Come in!"

The man outside thanked him again, pushed the door open and entered.The mountain wind blew in along with his figure, causing the bonfire in the hall to sway, and everyone cast their eyes at it, and then they were all stunned.

The black-faced man was the quickest to react, he stretched his tone, and said with a smile: "Well, it turns out that he is a fellow... and a little boy!"

As soon as the strange words came out later, the whole hall roared with laughter, and the spirit that had just slumped rose again, and the momentum was quite strong.

No wonder the black-faced man said this, the person here is indeed a handsome Taoist priest, he doesn't look very old, needless to say the so-called full moon face, red lips and white teeth, just the skin is more delicate than women, let these people The rough men who were accustomed to the wind and the sun looked at him hotly, and a few of them had dirty thoughts, and even moved their minds to other places.

This handsome Taoist priest is quite tall, with a long sword slung across his shoulders, but he habitually bows his back slightly, looking very honest and shy. It was a little unnatural to get up, stuck in the doorway, and seemed to want to get out.

Seeing this scene, the black-faced man is even more sure that this is a young child. There is no oil and water for the time being, and he also finds it boring. However, since Xuan Qing became the eldest brother, he has always followed the method of "killing mistakes and never letting them go". I can cough, signaling to my companions to slow down, and I will continue to perform according to the familiar routine:

"Since you are a fellow Taoist, why haven't you come up to meet Immortal Master Xuanqing? This is a fairy with great supernatural powers. If something leaks through his fingers, it will be enough for you, a little Taoist, to enjoy for a lifetime!"

"Zheng Da, why are you making so much noise?"

It was the first time for Xuanqing to speak out since the handsome Taoist priest entered the door. Although it was in a closed-eyed gesture, the first time he opened his mouth, the dozen or so people around the bonfire all shut up. open.

Now, it's time for Xuan Qing to play.

Seeing that more than ten big men were shocked by Xuan Qing's words, the handsome Taoist also heaved a sigh of relief, his expression became respectful, he took a step forward, and saluted: "Scattered person Yu Ci, I have met Xuan Qing Immortal Elder."

Only then did Xuan Qing open his eyes, glanced at Yu Ci, lowered his eyes again, and spoke in a flat voice:

"Did the little Taoist go to the Rift Valley to pick shrimp grass?"

Yu Ci answered yes.
