"Too."
He responded with "Yes, yes, yes", but what Lin Xiu was thinking about was how to fertilize these peach blossom trees. According to common sense, it doesn't make sense that such a treasure land of geomantic omen appeared in the new parliament with poor soil and harsh environment. The fine steel sword Lin Xiu hanging on his waist can even capture the thin aura.
"Here we are, this is the Temple of the Five Gods!"
Looking up, a Taoist temple with an area of about half an acre stands on the top of the mountain. The end of the stone road is connected to the gate of the Taoist temple. It is still very busy with people coming and going in the evening.
Following Liu Xueshi, Lin Xiu quickly stepped into the Temple of the Five Gods. Before seeing the statues of the "Five Gods", he first saw the peach blossom tree planted in the garden of the Taoist temple—compared with the peach blossoms outside. , this one bloomed much more brilliantly, and the fragrant smell of peach blossoms almost swallowed Lin Xiu's sense of smell.
Lin Xiu clicked his tongue, and just when he was about to ask Liu Xueshi what kind of peach blossom this plant was, a voice suddenly came: "The two lay monks are here to pay homage?"
"That's right, Bachelor Liu—"
Turning his head, he found that Liu Fugui, who was still by his side just now, had disappeared. When Lin Xiu was a little dazed, the young man dressed as a Taoist had already smiled and said, "Do you mean the fellow layman? That layman just now went to the subjective gone."
"Uh, is that so?"
——Something seems to be wrong?
The thinking could not continue, and was soon overwhelmed by the strong peach blossom fragrance, and even the face of the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple was a little distorted. Later, he seemed to introduce his name, and invited Lin Xiu to do something, hazy Lin Xiu in the obscurity seemed to agree, and then...
the next day.
"—!"
Waking up from the nightmare, Lin Xiu subconsciously pressed his chest and sides, making sure that Ying's Qiankun bag and the refined steel sword used for cultivation were by his side before relaxing a little.
"Hiss... strange ceiling, my head hurts."
Struggling to get up from the bed that exudes the fragrance of peach blossoms, Lin Xiu tried to recall the nightmare just now, but he couldn't remember anything, just like yesterday's memory, with an unreal feeling.
"Speaking of which, why did I fall asleep?"
Patting his head, Lin Xiu tried to remember the reason why he was lying here, but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door, he could only suppress the headache and said, "Please come in."
"Haha, Brother Lin really slept like a dead man, and he didn't wake up until the third o'clock in the morning."
It was Liu Fuhua who came in jokingly, today's Xueshi Liu looked radiant: "At the beginning, I saw Brother Lin wearing a sharp weapon at his waist and he was alone, and I thought Brother Lin was some kind of Jianghu young hero. Just a can of peach blossom wine is enough to get drunk."
Lin Xiu, who patted his head, was taken aback when he heard the words: "Peach Blossom Brew? Have I been drinking?"
"Brother Lin, are you sleepy? Didn't you be invited by the Taoist priests in the temple to stay here yesterday? When talking about the five gods, we discussed peach blossoms, and we talked about brewing wine from peach blossoms. It happened that the Taoist priests in the temple made wine from peach blossoms." There is a lot of wine and the wine is happy."
Hearing Liu Fuhua's words, Lin Xiu's mind also vaguely recalled the scene of him talking and laughing with the Taoist priests and Xueshi Liu with fine wine under the peach blossom tree, and he suddenly understood: "So that's the case, thank you Xueshi Liu Bring me back."
"It's a trivial matter, but Brother Lin, you don't look like you can go to worship subjectively?"
"Visit?"
Lin Xiu was stunned for a while, but after seeing Liu Fuhua's expression, he suddenly realized: "I probably forgot to drink too much, it's okay, the left and right are just paying homage, Brother Liu can go first, and I will start after I wash up."
Liu Fugui responded with a smile, and after the bachelor walked away, Lin Xiu took a deep breath: the fragrance of peach blossoms that filled the other side, for some reason, felt a bit boring at this moment.
He took out the fire mouse leather gloves from the Qiankun bag and put them on. After clenching his fist to make sure that the spiritual power in his body was not disturbed, Lin Xiu raised his palm and pointed it in the direction of the front window, holding his breath slightly——
"...Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Putting down his palms again, Lin Xiu got up and washed the prepared toilet items. After packing up his things, he went out and walked towards the main hall.
After walking out of the living room, Lin Xiu noticed that compared with yesterday, the Temple of the Five Gods was much deserted today. A Taoist disciple dressed as a Taoist happened to pass by. Lin Xiu took advantage of the opportunity to call him to ask the reason, but he didn't want to be stopped. The Taoist said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, Fellow Daoist Lin is asking this. The villagers are busy preparing for the sacrifice these two days."
Sacrifice?
I am a little confused about this word, but what Lin Xiu cares more about is: "Fellow Daoist?"
"That's right, fellow Taoist, do you have any questions?"
Lin Xiu opened his mouth, feeling that he had a lot of problems, but he seemed to have no problems—the fragrance of peach blossoms was too choking.
"It's okay, then, Your Excellency...what's the name of this fellow Taoist?"
"My name is Zhang San. I am called Zhang San because I am the third one. The ones behind me are Li Si and Wang Wu. The ones in front of me are-"
Before the self-proclaimed fellow Taoist "Zhang San" finished speaking, he was interrupted by a scolding: "San'er, don't neglect your distinguished guest!"
Turning around, what I saw was the young Taoist priest who received Lin Xiu yesterday. This young Taoist priest who looked a little older than "Zhang San" walked up to Lin Xiu in a few steps, and stared at Zhang Sanyi fiercely. Only then did he turn to Lin Xiu: "San'er has grown up in the temple since he was a child. If there is any negligence, I hope Layman Lin will not blame him."
Lin Xiu shook his head: "Nothing."
"That's good. Didn't the layman say last night that he would visit the five gods this morning? It just so happens that the auspicious time is coming, why don't we go there now?"
Lin Xiu had nothing to do, but when he left, he glanced past Zhang San inadvertently, but the latter still had that disapproving expression.
……
The distance to the main hall is not far, it can be said that it is only a few steps away, but on the way Lin Xiu stopped suddenly, covered his stomach under the puzzled eyes of Taoist Chen, his face was slightly pale: "cough, let Chen Daoyou forgive me, probably because I drank too much last night, and now I still feel a little nauseous."
"Ah...how about asking the kitchen to prepare a bowl of hangover tea for Jushi Lin?"
Lin Xiu waved his hand and refused, "Don't bother fellow daoist, just let me rest for a while. Fellow daoist might as well prepare for the worship first, so as not to miss the auspicious time in a hurry later."
Chen Daoshi hesitated for a while, but still accepted the suggestion: "In this case, I will prepare first. Laymen should watch the time, otherwise it will be troublesome if the five gods blame it."
After saying that, Taoist Chen left, leaving Lin Xiu alone in the aisle.
"Ha, five gods..."
30. Five "Gods"
Let go of the palm pinching his stomach—the hangover is fake, but the physical discomfort is real. After all, if he doesn’t do this, Lin Xiu is not sure that he can fool this strange "Chen Daoist" all over his body. No, To be precise, the one to be deceived is far more than just a "Chen Daoist".
Looking back at the splendid peach blossom tree in the direction of the garden, Lin Xiu subconsciously wanted to inhale to refresh himself, but he forcibly resisted the urge after realizing his surroundings.
"Anyway, let's try it first."
Instead of moving towards the main hall, Lin Xiu turned around and walked towards the gate. Unexpectedly, he met those villagers who came to worship, but the number was much smaller than yesterday. It should be to prepare for the so-called "sacrifice" : "It's kind of weird..."
Yesterday, because of Liu Fugui's urging, he came in a hurry, and after entering the Temple of the Five Gods, he was in a daze, so that after entering the Temple of the Five Gods—no, it should be after stepping into the boundary of the Five Gods Peak, Lin Xiu didn't have much time to pay homage to them. This time, there were no other people around, and Lin Xiu deliberately wanted to get some information from these worshipers. Once he got close, he found that these villagers seemed to be weird.
"How are you, sir?"
"The five gods bless, the five gods are merciful..."
"Ma'am, I have something to-"
"The five gods bless, the five gods are merciful..."
"Little brother, I have a candy here."
"The five gods bless, the five gods are merciful..."
"Little sister, there will be goldfish in the temple today, do you want to go see it together?"
"The five gods bless, the five gods are merciful..."
Seeing the uniform reactions of the worshipers in front of him, Lin Xiu couldn't stop the chill in his heart, and immediately walked towards the gate without any hesitation. At the same time, he held the Qiankun bag with his left hand hidden in his sleeve, The body tensed to the limit.
The strange thing is, facing Lin Xiu's departure, the people in the whole Taoist temple seemed to turn a blind eye. The ferocious demons or vicious evil cultivators in the imagination did not appear, but Lin Xiu was allowed to step out of the Taoist temple, walking all the way. Walking down Wushen Peak——
"Sure enough, I'm still too young."
Looking at the Temple of the Five Gods standing quietly in front of him, Lin Xiu patted his head, and completely expelled the last trace of luck: "How can the meat that has been eaten be allowed to escape? You all think this is the reason? "
As he spoke, the "miasma-avoiding talisman" hidden close to his chest under the drive of spiritual power suddenly became hot and hot, and the "miasma" that was originally wrapped around his body was also blown away, exposing the real "view of the five gods" in front of him .
There is no such thing as a peach blossom forest, some are just an old Taoist temple that is dilapidated and rotten everywhere.
And from the Taoist temple exuding the air of decaying corpses, a figure who had been separated for less than half an hour slowly stepped out, applauding while showing admiration: "As expected of a disciple of He Guizong, my flower The 'Peach Blossom Miasma' laid down in 12 years has fascinated no less than a thousand people, including dozens if not hundreds of monks, but today it fell into the hands of fellow Taoists, and even fellow Taoists don't know when they saw it through."
As he said that, Liu Fugui asked curiously, "Can fellow daoist explain Liu's little confusion."
The corner of Lin Xiu's mouth twitched, showing a "Dragon King" sneer: "You have made a few mistakes. First, it is impossible for a mortal to easily surpass the perception of a cultivator. After entering the temple yesterday, no matter whether you or Taoist Chen Leaving or approaching me without me noticing."
Chen Daoshi's voice suddenly interjected: "So that's the case, this is a violation of knowledge."
Accompanied by the voice, Taoist Chen stepped out from behind Liu Fugui and stood on the side, looking down at Lin Xiu below.
Seeing this, Lin Xiu paused slightly, and then continued to speak: "Second, you were too hasty yesterday. A cultivator's self-control is a key point in his practice, and he will not easily let himself fall into a state of insanity. Let alone drunk."
While procrastinating for time, Lin Xiu silently added in his heart: I am a teetotal old Two-dimensional, you told me that I drank alcohol last night, and even drank a piece of it all at once?You two are lying.
"You don't know Lin Daoyou. Firstly, it's outside casual cultivators who don't accept the guidance of such a big sect as He Guizong. Not to mention controlling themselves, more of it is 'today there is wine and today is drunk 'I'm a drunk and lustful person, and secondly... since I know that the person who is coming is a disciple of He Guizong, how dare I ignore my response?"
As he said that, a third figure stepped out from behind Daoshi Chen: it was Zhang San whom he met in the aisle just now.
Combined with the title of "Five Gods", Lin Xiu's heart became more and more heavy, and "Ying", who was originally intended to be the back-up, had to be summoned in advance, standing by his side with two-on-three so that the formation would not be too thin.
"This puppet is Lin Daoyou's hole card, right? As expected of a disciple of He Guizong, a mere puppet can have such a false appearance, but it's a pity that it's not enough."
The fourth figure came out from behind Zhang San, with a different expression from Zhang San, but the tone of voice was exactly the same as that of the previous three. Not only that, there was also a piece of yellow paper with "Li Si" on his forehead.
Lin Xiu was silent.
Seemingly intending to listen to what Lin Xiu had to say, "Li Si" told his own story: "Unlike disciples of the sect like fellow Taoists, as a casual cultivator, a certain person has neither the method of cultivation nor the way to protect the Tao. The techniques, from gold and silver that one or two cultivators don’t like, to one or two pills and spirit stones that you take for granted, all of them are treasures that we have to risk our lives to have a chance to get them.”
"It's fine if it's just embarrassment at the beginning, but as someone's cultivation base grows, I find that this situation of insufficient resources has not improved, but has worsened. Grass alchemy cultivation, but after I stepped into the middle stage of Qi training, even if I walked all the way from Qingguo to Xinguo, I could barely meet my daily training needs, and it would be impossible to get any closer."
Accompanied by this increasingly high-pitched tone, the last figure stepped out from behind "Li Si": it was a corpse, and a piece of yellow paper was pasted on the forehead, but it said "Wang Wu".
"Do you still remember what I said to fellow Taoists before? If you can live forever and see for a long time, who would like to have a handful of loess in a hundred years? It's a pity that it is difficult to find immortals, and it is even more difficult to seek Tao..."
Lin Xiu did remember this sentence, but the person who said it at that time should be "Liu Fugui", not "Wang Wu", in other words——
"you……"
Throat was dry for a while: "Is it a person?"
31. — Draw your sword!
Facing Lin Xiu's question, the five of them just showed weird smiles but didn't intend to answer, but continued the "story" in their mouths.
"Fortunately, there is no unparalleled path. Just when someone thought that he could not escape the end of death in this life, he discovered a brand new path in this new country."
Looking across the pale face of "Wang Wu", Lin Xiu's tone could not help but sink: "By killing people?"
The five of them said in unison: "This method is indeed harmful to heaven, but so what? A certain person thinks that he is not weaker than others in terms of spiritual root aptitude and comprehension root. Why did he fall into such a situation?"
——You can go to worship Ruhe Guizong.
Before Lin Xiu could say it, the five of them seemed to have seen what Lin Xiu wanted to say, and said in a sarcastic tone: "He Guizong He Guizong, the well-deserved overlord sect of Xinan Ling, but you think this What does the sect rely on for support? And how much of the merits it collects can fall into the hands of you low-level disciples?"
"Of course those foundation-building monks won't say it, because they got the part they want, and Jindanqi real people won't say it, because they still hope to rely on it to go further. As for the 'Yuanying Patriarch' Not to mention, after all, the Nascent Soul, which is barely maintained by taking over a territory, how could it be possible to give up that long life and enjoyment."
"But what I hate the most are you disciples in the Qi training period. You help the bad guys without knowing it, and you don't know how to repent when you cause serious disasters. What qualifications do you have to embark on the road?!"
