Taoist chanting

Zhang Wenfeng expected this to be the case. None of the gods who were broken and died in a fierce battle would submit to them. He just said as a matter of routine, "As far as I know, the White Witch, the Red Witch, and the Black Witch in Great Liang They have already joined hands, and even the soul-shattering black witch occupies a place in it, if you go to defect to Great Liang, you must be careful."

There was faint blue light in the woman's eyes, and she didn't speak for a long time. Back then, the black witch who was shouted and beaten by everyone was able to get along well. She was in a complicated mood. After a long time, she asked: "Zhongshan God and Where is Wei Yan now? Did he join An Chao?"

"No, they chose the lower realm."

Zhang Wenfeng won't say much about the relationship between him and Zhong Wenyong, there's no need, he wants to chat with Yang Shuilan, who has become the Goddess of Water, and find out how she is. He came to cut off the big river and wipe out the water god who didn't make a fortune. Even if he paid a certain price, he accepted it and cut off this bad relationship.

In terms of incense and love, some people are worth making friends with, and it is better to end some of them as soon as possible.

The woman understood that what Guanzhu Zhang said about the Nether Realm meant entering reincarnation, not cursing maliciously.

She was dazed for a while, and said: "I will go to Daliang in a few days. There were some things back then, and I had to ask them for an explanation and ask them to clarify. No matter what the answer is, I will go to the south to find a Daliang to live in." Cultivation, working with black witches, I can't do it."

She has no friendship with Weiyan, the former water god of Yaoxi River, but she has an inseparable relationship with Fairy Qiuyun, so she has a good relationship with Fairy Qiuyun's partner, Zhong Shanshen. Present the imprint of the divine scroll to Guanzhu Zhang, and she will talk to Guanzhu Zhang about her future plans, so it's okay.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenfeng thought for a while and said, "In recent years, the Wu Clan has spared no effort to recruit the gods of mountains and rivers left over from more than 500 years ago. They once sent Wuxiu to go deep into the territory of the Da'an Dynasty to find the whereabouts of the gods of mountains and rivers that were suppressed. Three months ago , Sheng Burao, the guardian of the Wu Clan, fell on the outskirts of Luobaoling."

He said two unrelated things.

The woman bowed her hands to thank her, especially the latter news, which was very important to her.

"Monastery Master, I heard that you have collected a few pieces of golden body and a piece of golden gall. I wonder if you can sell them to me? You can set the price, and I will trade with you within three years."

She is almost destitute now, and has no extra treasures to exchange for golden body fragments.

Negotiate the business first, and come to the transaction later.

Zhang Wenfeng did not refuse, and asked, "How is your relationship with Zhong Shanshen?"

The woman said casually: "The gods of mountains and rivers in our southern area, the mountains do not change, so the relationship is not bad." Seeing Guanzhu Zhang take out a five-inch-high black bottle from the black cloth bag hanging around his waist all the year round, her eyes were fixed. , said: "This is Fairy Qiuyun's Shanmu Shoumin bottle, the treasure of Nawu...is it given to you by Zhong Wenyong?"

She got the news later that Fairy Qiu Yun died in battle in front of the Jinni Mountain Temple guarded by Zhong Wenyong.

The regret of the soul is extremely tragic!

This is the second time Zhang Wenfeng has heard of the name "Fairy Qiuyun". The first time it was said by the public lieutenant of the land, he said: "I will temporarily keep it for Lao Zhong, and there are the relics of Fairy Qiuyun inside."

The woman's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked, "When did Zhong Shanshen come to the Underworld?"

She heard other meanings, Zhong Wenyong was prepared, he should have asked Zhang Guanzhu to be the token holder, so that he could "refresh his mind" at that time.

"Almost three years."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't want to talk about the details of Zhong Wenyong's visit to the underworld, so he took out three pieces of golden body and a piece of golden gallbladder from the Nawu bottle, and threw them at the independent tide woman in the river, saying: "Return to the original owner, please take it away." it is good."

After such a long conversation, he decided to make an additional investment instead of a transaction.

He didn't need to know what happened back then, which made the woman have to go to Great Liang to ask for an explanation. This woman was not cynical, nor did she compromise. She could tell that she had a good relationship with Zhong Shanshen. Lin Lin finally made it up, and it was worth his help.

The woman was also quite surprised, she didn't expect that Guanzhu Zhang didn't mention any conditions, and directly handed over these precious items that are of great use to her, with these fragments, it can save her a lot of time.

She was not in a hurry to go to Great Liang, but first went to the southern wilderness to find a Dadu to hide and practice.

Arching her hands, the woman fell into the river with the tide and disappeared in an instant.

Don't say thank you for your kindness, the river flows westward.

On the way back, Zhang Wenfeng told the two about his conversation with Yang Shuilan.

Hearing that the temple master returned the pieces and pieces of the water god empress's golden body to Yang Shuilan, Tu Kun grinned and gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "The temple master is generous, this business is not a loss!"

Except for Yang Shuilan, the fragments of the incense that were stolen by the Yin God of Water Prison were of little use to other gods.

Zhang Wenfeng smiled, without further explanation, and said, "Leave some respect."

Chapter 403 Fate has ups and downs

Late autumn is bleak, the air is solemn and condensed, and the dew turns into frost.

With dry grass and frost under their feet, Zhang Wenfeng and Lezi with messy hair walked in the woods by the stream, picking and choosing, telling the legend of Yang Shuilan's transformation from an ordinary woman to the goddess of water overnight. The story is not long and full of twists and turns.

The rising sun slanted, casting on the three of them through the woods, and the shadows stretched long.

Lezi and the old cripple were dumbfounded, with complicated expressions on their faces. If they were told by another person, they would not believe it, but they half-believed the monk's strange talk.

"She...is Yao Xihe...the reincarnation of the water god empress..."

Lezi stuttered and stuttered when he was nervous. After a while, he calmed down and said, "Can I still see her? I want to ask her, ask her some things, and make a conclusion."

Zhang Wenfeng thought for a while and said, "You can go to the bank of the Yaoxi River and try it later at night. In the dead of night, burn three sticks of incense and recite her name. It's best to go in the next two days. After a while, it will be difficult for her to come back after leaving this mundane matter."

"Isn't she the Empress of the Water God of Xihe River? Where else can she go?"

"She is the reincarnation of the water god of the previous dynasty. Now that she is awakened, it is difficult for her to stay in the territory of Da'an Dynasty for a long time."

Zhang Wenfeng explained that he guessed that after talking with him, Yang Shuilan would be willing to show up to see the fun. If the marriage contract in this life is not broken, the beginning and the end will be left behind.

The old cripple was a little worried, and asked, "Brother Feng, can I trouble you to run with me?"

"You hire a carriage, just go to Xihezhou Town this afternoon."

"Brother Feng, please take care."

After receiving such a letter and hearing that Yang Shuilan was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Water, the old cripple and Lezi did not feel the grief and indignation of yesterday, but instead felt a strange sense of relief and curiosity.

The sun rises, and the water evaporates.

Zhang Wenfeng, the second senior brother and Yue Anyan led ten disciples from Huaqi Realm to the field to harvest mature spiritual rice, without letting other apprentices intervene, the donkey and mountain badger flew up to the field in the backyard on the top of the mountain with a load of spiritual rice, Hu Qiang'er And two green weavers Jingmei are in charge of flipping.

The old cripple, Lezi, and Wei Xingde tied up all the straw in the field, and the two women and two apprentice cooks were cooking in the kitchen.

At the beginning of the afternoon, I heard the report from the apprentice on duty, and some guests came to visit.

Zhang Wenfeng simply washed his feet, put on cloth shoes, tidied his robes and hair, walked from the edge of the field stream to the memorial archway, greeted and greeted Chen Qingqiao who came to visit, served tea and chatted on the mountain, and the old lame father and son took leave after lunch and went to town Get in the carriage and go to Xihezhou Town.

Chen Qingqiao saw that Zhang Guanzhu, who was already aloof and superior, was still harvesting in the fields by himself, his trouser legs and cuffs were stained with fresh mud.

He didn't want to interrupt for too long, so he took out a wooden box from his cuff and said:

"A few days ago when I went out, I came across a chance and gained a little bit. I found an item that I could barely get out of my hand. It just happened to be your promotion gift, Guanzhu Zhang. Please accept it."

He and Zhang Guanzhu were poor and lowly friends, and he had no idea before coming here. He was worried that Zhang Guanzhu's status would become high, and the relationship would become unfamiliar, and there would be an invisible gap between him and him. He specially prepared two different gifts for different treatment. gift.

If a hot face sticks a cold butt to curry favor, he doesn't want to make his flesh hurt by spending money.

But Zhang Guanzhu treated him as usual, so he took out the most expensive gift.

Zhang Wenfeng took the wooden box and said with a smile: "What good thing? You keep it for yourself, giving it to me is just icing on the cake..." Opening the wooden box, looking at the black dirt in the box, Zhang Wenfeng closed the lid with a "snap", and Not to mention the icing on the cake, he put away the box directly, and said: "Chen Guanzhu, you have a good chance this time, if you can get a piece of land and soil, then I will accept it politely, and give you a rich man's autumn wind."

This kind of treasure is hard to come by, and it is suitable for other uses.

The small piece of divine soil in his hand, even if he used it sparingly, there was not much left.

Chen Qingqiao was very happy when he saw that his friends knew the goods, so he smiled and told about the opportunities he encountered when he went out. He made many friends in the county and had a wide network of contacts. With his three-inch tongue, he recruited the old antique who was looking for death and life, and got many treasures from the land mother.

Among them, the divine clay was the most special item, and he gave most of it to Guanzhu Zhang.

Zhang Wenfeng asked Chen Qingqiao to sit down for a while, and he went out for a while, carrying a small cloth bag and three saplings into the door after a while, and said with a smile: "Don't make a fool of yourself, thinking that I don't want to be human. Seeds of rice and spirit maize, the two saplings are cultivated spirit peach and spirit plum, and the remaining one is spirit tea tree, as long as you say no, I will put it back immediately."

He has used wood gas to keep the saplings alive, and transplanting in autumn is no problem.

Chen Qingqiao quickly snatched it over and said, "There's no reason to put back the things that were sent out? I took them all, and the more the better, anyway, the presents were delivered today, and I'm waiting for your promotion banquet to come and drink."

"The exact date has not yet been determined, but it is estimated that it will be years ago, and I will send you an invitation card then."

The two chatted for a while, Chen Qingqiao took his things and got up to leave.

Sending off Chen Guanzhu, he returned to the field to pick up the sickle and continue to work. He liked the joy of harvest and the kind of fulfillment.

In each season, the wood gas in the Ling paddy field is slightly different, either lively and brisk, or vigorous, or mature and stable.

Paying attention everywhere is knowledge, and practicing with heart everywhere.

After the evening class was over, Zhang Wenfeng and the donkey flew in the air, and quietly came to Xihezhou Town to find the carriage parked on the embankment and the old lame father and son.

I got my wish and saw Yang Shuilan, who was as cold as ice in the river, and his form changed drastically.

The once thin and dumb girl has now become a water god empress who does not eat fireworks in the world, with a majestic demeanor, unapproachable, and even less humane when she speaks, completely cutting off the thought of fun.

Lezi originally wanted to question, but how could he still say it?

He and Yang Shuilan became acquainted with each other because of half a coarse grain pancake. At this moment, their identities are so different and they are destined to die.

In the end, the old cripple personally dissolved the engagement, and from then on they went their separate ways and owed nothing to each other.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't show up. He knew that he couldn't hide from Yang Shuilan's investigation, and the person who tied the bell had to be untied. It would be great if it could be resolved peacefully without getting involved with each other. Above is a catastrophe.

After breakfast on the second day, the three chatted over tea in the tea room, and the old cripple knocked on the door with Le Zi and walked in.

Lezi's attitude is very firm. He wants to learn Taoism, break the oath of the year, and walk the hard way of "learning Taoism through martial arts".

"I implore the temple master to accept it, Lezi must work hard and concentrate on martial arts!"

No matter how hard it is, can it be harder than going hungry on a boat?

He was suffocating in his heart, a man was born between heaven and earth, his head can be cut off and blood can flow, how can a woman who has become a god be looked down upon?

He also has a career to accomplish.

Zhang Wenfeng nodded slightly: "Yes!"

Chapter 404 The New Disciple

A tall and thin figure was running among the mountains and forests, with iron sand cloth bags tied to his legs, jumping up and down, punching with both hands, sweating profusely, and it took twenty or thirty li to go back and forth.

Alone and silent.

The old cripple stopped going after seeing it a few times, feeling inexplicably sad.

He is old, but in fact he only wants to live a normal life, entertain his grandchildren, and enjoy his old age in peace.

He patted the donkey that was following him, let out a weak cry of "Donkey Ri's", the wrinkles on his face became more profound, leaned on a wooden crutch, and went back to the kitchen to find something to do.

From autumn to winter, the chill is strong, and the fire will be used to try new tea.

The second senior brother put down a few pieces of letter paper in his hand, and said: "Our Taoist temple spent a lot of effort to train Gu Chaowen from an ignorant urchin to a monk in three years. He took care of his face and wanted to send him away when a letter was sent lightly. People are good at calculating, so what about the ancestor of Jinfengguan? He still can't get rid of the vulgarity of the market, he is good at calculating, and he doesn't have the half-high demeanor."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't stop the second senior brother from discussing people's right and wrong behind his back, and he was also angry.

Cultivating Qi does not mean that there is no anger.

Sniffing the fragrance of the tea, he took a sip of the freshly fried autumn tea, put down the teacup and said, "I asked Gu Chaowen for his opinion earlier, and he said he would follow his elders' orders. According to his meaning, it is not a day or two for him to discuss this matter with Gu Quan , It’s been a long time, and the tolerance is so good at such a young age, and there is no word of mouth, it is a good thing for this kind of deep, heartless and ungrateful person not to stay in the fairy temple, and it is not worth getting angry."

The second senior brother laughed angrily: "Collusion, cooperation between the inside and the outside, like an uncle, like a nephew, okay, okay, before you officially become a disciple of Xianling Temple, it is better to leave during the apprenticeship, so as not to waste Taoist resources."

Three years of dedicated training, in exchange for such a chilling result.

You Gu Quan wanted to take your nephew to the Golden Wind Temple and bring him to practice. It was understandable, but you went there yourself to show your sincerity and respect the teacher, shouldn't you?

Even if I received a letter last year, it is more pleasant than dismantling the stage at this time.

After an apprentice becomes a monk, there is a ritual to formally join a Taoist temple as a disciple.

Before that, the Taoist temple will not restrict all apprentices.

The apprenticeship is only a few days away, and Gu Quan's approach is compliant, but unreasonable. It is a kind of behavior that is annoying.

Yue Anyan persuaded: "Shan Zhang, he is shameless. We still have to follow the rules. After we ask Gu Chaowen, he is willing to participate in the apprenticeship graduation the day after tomorrow, so we will keep him for a few more days. We are not in a hurry to drive him away. It doesn't look like us No tolerance."

"I know, I'm just upset."

The second senior brother wanted to make himself more magnanimous, so he drank a cup of tea, but the results of three years of hard cultivation made people stung, and he was still the best one. He felt useless no matter how he recited the scriptures, so he thought about it and suggested:

"Guanzhu, before the other apprentices formally enter the Taoist temple, let them go home for three days, and consider whether they are willing to join the Taoist temple? In order to eliminate those who are vacillating and have other ideas, there will be another "questioning" assessment, the topic I Come to draw up, those with impure goals and flaws will not be accepted, and the prefix of our Taoist temple is a foregone conclusion, so we don't have to worry about not being able to recruit like-minded disciples."

Zhang Wenfeng nodded in affirmation: "Good!"

Ning Que's mother abuses, strives for perfection.

Xianlingguan has survived the difficult period and won the time and space for leisurely development.

Gu Chaowen stayed to attend the apprentice's graduation ceremony, and left the mountain gate with other apprentices who had not broken through. The head of the mountain announced new rules to the sixteen monks who were about to become disciples of Xianling Temple.

After three days, 16 people gathered in Qingzheng Bieyuan, and no one was absent.

After a series of "questioning" by the head of the mountain, it took more than half a day to pass all the tests.

The three priests were quite relieved that the three years of careful teaching and personal influence were not in vain.

Select an auspicious day, and hold a formal ritual of entering the mountain gate.

On that day, I specially invited Yun Qiuhe, the head of Feng Chengyun, Chen Qingqiao, Che Sheng, and others from the Daolu branch of the county to come to watch the ceremony. The big brother Jia Dean, the third senior brother Shang Zheng and the families of the seventeen monks were naturally there, so there was no alarm Friends in county and state cities.

"The way of practice lies in the existence of the teacher. If the teacher does not exist, how can the way be obtained. Today there are those who are pure in character and talented, Wei Jingjie, Shi Nanguan, Yan Jing, Shang Qingyun, Tie Jinlin, Shui Qingru, An Beiyuan, Zhuang Mi, Shen Shan, He He, Cui Zhongxian, Zhang Xuandong, Shi Wenzhan, Zhang Xuanyan, Zhuang Yu, Chen Zhong, borrowing from the Immortal Temple... Those who borrow are far away, those who borrow are because of them, and those who save are advanced Yes. To save my mortal body and enter the Taoist rank, I will pay each other with my teacher and teacher, and pass on my ancestors, so when I am a teacher of rites, I will not forget my roots."
