115: Canyon Ghost City(1/2)
At night, it started to rain.
The rain was not heavy, and the fluttering wet the tile surface and gathered into water droplets. The droplets fell on the soil under the eaves. A small four-legged snake jumped in front of the small puddle, climbed up the wall, and penetrated into the beam.
Under the eaves, a little Taoist boy was reading in the room.
The content of the book is exactly the cultivation experience written by Lou Jinchen.
In another room, three people, Lou Jinchen, Guanzhu, and Shang Gui'an, were sitting there, with three lights in the room emitting light.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you. With your level of cultivation, there is nothing to say to you, but I still want to tell you one thing. Don't try to stand out in anything, and go to the Five Zang Palace to sit more often.
The last time I wrote to Wanghaijiao to ask if there was a Taoist temple of the Five Zang God Sect, the church replied to me that there was no such thing, but I think our Five Zang God Sect is still pretty good," said the temple owner.
"Master, your impression of me is getting more and more skewed. Outsiders think that I, Lou Jinchen, am brave and fierce. In fact, although I, Lou Jinchen, love swords, I am also a person who loves poetry." Lou Jinchen said.
Shang Gui'an, who was next to him, immediately echoed: "Master, I have memorized a poem written by my senior brother: I have sharpened a sword for ten years, but the frost blade has not been tested. Today I will show you the sword, who will have any injustice!"
When Lou Jinchen heard him reciting his poem, he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know this poem?"
"Deng Ding told me what he said to me after he came back from Wanghaijiao. I even copied it down as my practice motto. Senior brother, do you think I can be as good as you are now after practicing swordsmanship for ten years?"
The viewer couldn't help but sigh: "Look, the poems written are also about fighting and killing. A great senior in the Five Zang God Sect once said that the matter of gods and ghosts is not about fighting and killing, but about fighting and killing.
Friendship, many people who ask gods to conquer ghosts do so because they have friendship with them."
Lou Jinchen scratched his head a little and said: "This is just a casual recitation, it does not represent my character."
"I know that senior brother also has a song called "Ming Yue". Senior brother, what is your relationship with the bright moon that looks over the sea?" Shang Gui'an asked again.
Before Lou Jinchen could speak, the viewer sighed again: "Qianjing is no better than other places. There are young people and elders from aristocratic families, sects, and royal families living there. If you like women, you have to inquire carefully about their identities. The aristocratic families
Don't mess with the legitimate daughters, the disciples of the sect, or the women of the royal family. You need to know that if you mess with the juniors, they all have elders who have come forward, but you don't, because you are your own elder."
When Lou Jinchen heard what the viewer said, he wanted to refute it at first, but in the end he nodded. He could feel that the viewer was worried about him.
"Please rest assured, my Lord, I am not a womanizer. I went to the capital just to see the scenery of the capital and give some relics to others. I know that when foreigners come to the capital, they must first be humble in everything. It is best
Don't meddle in other people's business." Lou Jinchen said.
"As long as you understand in your heart." The viewer still said uneasily.
Lou Jinchen has decided to go to Qianjing and has been delayed here for a long time. It is estimated that the time for the fifth master's grandson to catch Zhou has passed.
He wrote down some of his thoughts and experiences, and then went to Qunyu Mountain and found Bai Xiaoqi.
Bai Xiaoqi was sleeping there, and there were some hedgehogs surrounding her, as if they were waiting for her to tell stories when she woke up.
When Lou Jinchen appeared, she woke up immediately, which made Lou Jinchen wonder if she had been pretending to sleep.
"Lou Jinchen, are we going to Qianjing?" Bai Xiaoci asked in surprise.
"Yes, are you going?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Of course I want to go, I don't want to stay here and tell stories every day." Bai Xiaoci said.
"Don't you like to talk?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"I don't like it anymore, I want to be a quiet hedgehog." Bai Xiaoqi said loudly.
"Very good, Bai Xiaoqi, you've come to your senses!" Lou Jinchen said, "Where are your third aunt and grandma? Go and tell them."
Bai Xiaoqi immediately moved her short legs and went to find her third aunt and grandma amidst the envious eyes of all the hedgehogs. Although she didn't know what enlightenment meant, she felt that Lou Jinchen was complimenting her. Own.
After spending another half day in the mountains, Lou Jinchen left with Bai Xiaoqi.
It can be seen that Bai Xiaoqi is very happy.
Although she was very happy when she came back, there seemed to be something that made her want to stay away during these days back home.
Nothing happened along the way. As she was riding on the horse, Lou Jinchen asked her what happened.
"Lou Jinchen, do you know how much I envy you?" Bai Xiaoci sighed.
"Why do you envy me?" Lou Jinchen asked, wondering in his mind whether she wanted to say that she had exquisite swordsmanship, profound magic power, and was good at poetry and walking?
"I envy you for not having any relatives. You are a person without a grandma and aunt." Bai Xiaoci shouted with envy.
When Lou Jinchen heard this, his whole body became a little stiff.
"Are you scolding me with these words?" Lou Jinchen asked suspiciously.
"No, my grandma is nagging in my ear every day, saying that I should be an independent and wild white fairy, and not be raised in a vine every day. My third aunt also said that I am fat and that there will be no other white fairy in the future. Immortals will like me." Bai Xiaoqi said angrily.
Lou Jinchen didn't know how to answer for a moment. The key was that he didn't know what the hedgehog was thinking.
"Then, what do the other white immortals mean?" Lou Jinchen asked, suddenly wanting to understand the thoughts of these white immortals.
"They all asked me to tell stories, asked me how much delicious food I had eaten out, and some asked me how I got along with you and said they wanted to learn from me." Bai Xiaoci said, "I told them Said, to be a white fairy, you must be charming and attractive. Only in this way, those humans will take the initiative to look for you. They didn't believe it at first, but they didn't believe it until you came to me."
Lou Jinchen suddenly felt that what she said was not very nice, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
…
Qianjing is in the north, go all the way north.
Originally, he planned to visit Jiangzhou Mansion. After all, Deng Ding's family was there. However, Jiangzhou Mansion deviated from the route north to the capital, so he did not go.
He galloped along the official road with his sword hanging on the saddle and a baggage hanging next to it. Inside the baggage was a Qiankun embroidered bag. The so-called Qiankun embroidered bag is exactly how to describe this bag, but Lou Jinchen felt that , this brocade bag still has a lot of room for improvement. Although I don’t know how it is made, it would be best if it could only be the size of a sachet and not too heavy to hang around the waist.
Or sew it into the sleeves, wave the sleeves, and store those items inside. There is a universe in the sleeves, which is the Taoist style.
There was a rattan hanging on the other side of the saddle, and Bai Xiaoxian lay in it to sleep. She was used to this kind of bumping.
Lou Jinchen rarely cares about Sutou anymore.
He has slept in the wilderness.
The road forked, and a wooden sign hung on a big tree in the middle of the road, which read: "There are ghosts occupying the left road, please take the right road."
Lou Jinchen turned the horse's head and turned to the left road.
It can be seen that the road on the left was once a wide road, but because there were fewer people walking on it, the road became deserted, overgrown with weeds, and unknown vines eroded the road surface.
It was dusk, the sun was shining on my face, which was a bit dazzling, and the weather turned cooler in late autumn, and the evening breeze was slightly cool.
When Lou Jinchen came to a canyon, he immediately stopped and began to look at the canyon.
"Look at the black hole ahead, covered with dark clouds, but there are lights shining in the desolation. This must be a ghost market. Let's go in and take a look." Lou Jinchen said.
The so-called ghost market is full of ghosts and monsters, and the monks mixed in are also some evil cultivators.
But sometimes there are some good things in the ghost market. Yiyun, the seventh master of the family who Lou Jinchen once knew, said that she bought her wishful hairpin in the ghost market, so when he saw such a ghost market, he
I want to go in and have a look.
This ghost market is in a canyon, on the left side of the road, and does not block the main road. However, it is also because of the emergence of such a ghost market that this road was abandoned.
Lou Jinchen did not dismount, and the little hedgehog became energetic. I don't know when, she also fell in love with this kind of fun of exploring the unknown.
When he came to the entrance of the canyon, there were several large red painted characters on the stone wall.
"Stone Gorge Village!"
This used to be a village.
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone ground, making a "clucking" sound, and the originally quiet "ghost market" seemed to be disturbed.
Lou Jinchen raised his eyes and looked around.
This canyon was indeed a village originally, because there were portals on both sides of the canyon, and small stone roads were cut out on the cliffs of the canyon, winding to every home on the canyon cliffs.
In those doorways, some people were sitting in darkness, some had lights on, some were standing with 'ghosts', and some were 'paper figures' standing there, seemingly waiting for customers.
Come to your door.
In the middle of the canyon, there are several piles of flames, but compared to this long canyon, the flames obviously cannot dispel the darkness.
At the bottom of the canyon, on the ground in front of the rows of caves, there are stalls one after another, with all kinds of strange objects on them.
Lou Jinchen fell from his horse and the little hedgehog climbed onto his shoulder.
He came to the first stall and squatted down.
First, he took a look at the stall owner. He was an old man wearing a black hat. He was too thin. When Lou Jinchen looked over, he happened to raise his eyes to look at Lou Jinchen, his eyes glowing green.
Lou Jinchen felt an urge to "look at each other" in his heart. He lowered his head and started to look at the thing on display. It was a stone. He reached out and picked it up. His hands were cool. He knew it was very hard when he touched it.
Asked: "What kind of stone is this?"
"The Yinming Stone." The old man in the black hat said.
"What is Yinming Stone?" Lou Jinchen didn't understand these materials at all.
The old man glanced at Lou Jinchen with glowing green eyes, but did not answer, obviously disdaining to answer.
Lou Jinchen did not pursue the question, but looked at one of the jade pieces and wanted to pick it up, but the old man took out a black wooden stick from under his clothes and touched it on the jade, saying: "If you don't understand, don't take it.
"
"Yes, you know these things are valuable, so I won't touch them, I will only look at them," Lou Jinchen said.
He looked at the items placed on the animal skin, but none of them he could understand, so he stood up and continued to look at the next person.
Lou Jinchen could clearly see that the items placed on this stall were all pieces of wood with layers of Yin Qi wrapped around them, and some of them were carved into human shapes.
