At this time, the moon is in the sky, and the clouds in the sky are like waves, which cannot hide the frost of the moon. Seven or eight stars are shining in the cumulus clouds, digging out caves to hide in. Occasionally look at the human world, if you look towards the bustling place

, then turned into a meteor and fell to the earth, never returning to heaven to endure loneliness.

Since Lou Jinchen already knew the purpose of his visit, he said: "I don't think I will participate in your gathering of immortals, but you are worried about disturbing the temple owner by passing near Huoling Temple, so I can go and talk to the temple owner, but

We at Huo Ling Temple are not thieves who cut corners. It is really not a good idea to say buying a road. If the temple owner hears it, he will definitely scold me, but it is still okay to make friends."

After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, doubts appeared in the eyes of the woman with the triangular head. She thought: "Did he refuse to pay for the road?"

While she was still thinking, she heard Lou Jinchen say again: "Since we are making friends, it is normal to give some gifts when we meet. I think it will be easier for me to say something to the master."

After hearing this, the triangular-headed woman suddenly understood what Lou Jinchen meant. She felt that his words were elegant and exuded the unique nobility of a Taoist priest.

"It seems that I still need to learn more, and learn from such an elegant scholar." Bai thought to herself, and immediately responded: "We make friends in the mountains, and we never disappoint. Taoist priest, I retire."

The Huo Ling Temple returned to calm. Lou Jinchen closed his eyes and took in the moonlight, but what was different from before was that his Dharma thoughts also shrouded the sword on the low table.

He also trained this feeling to be consistent with his own breathing. He believed that after getting used to it, this feeling would become as natural as breathing. As long as he still needs to breathe, he will always feel the yin and yang.

Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding have already gone back to the house to sleep. For them, they will always need to sleep if they cannot ingest the essence of heaven and earth and enter deep concentration.

The east is getting whiter, and birds are leaving their nests to look for food.

Lou Jinchen stood up and picked up the wooden bucket to carry water. Although he was now a senior brother and had entered the spiritual practice, he would still carry water every day as long as he was in the temple. If there was no firewood, he would still go outside to find dry firewood, or

Drag the fallen tree back.

Sometimes, he would think about whether to dig a well in the yard, but he couldn't do it himself, so he could only give up on this idea.

Lou Jinchen, who was sitting side by side with Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding under the eaves, eating a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge, heard someone knocking on the door. Deng Ding put down the porridge in his hand and wiped his mouth.

Just went there, which reminded Lou Jinchen of the etiquette he felt when he was in Deng's house. Although Deng Ding was a boy and didn't pay much attention to these things, some things had been ingrained in his bones under the influence of his ears and eyes.

At this time, the door of Huoling Temple must have been open, but the visitor knocked at the door and did not come in directly. It was obvious that this was not a pilgrim coming to offer incense.

After a while, I heard Deng Ding shouting: "Senior brother, the new head of the Lu family in the city has brought several friends to visit the head of the temple."

Lou Jinchen did not get up. He was still sitting there eating porridge. Shang Gui'an next to him had already put away the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and stood aside.

Of course Lou Jinchen didn't know this, but after all, he was not born and raised in this world. He grew up in a relatively relaxed environment, so he didn't put down his bowl and chopsticks. He only finished half of the porridge and it was smelling delicious.

Lou Jinchen knew that the Lu family in Swimming City was good at building temples and invited "spirits" to enter the temple to suppress evil spirits in the earth.

It's just that two heads of family died in succession. It is conceivable that the Lu family, which has been famous in this swimming city for many years, will probably decline unless the Lu family can find a good successor.

The first person to come was an old man, who was older than Mr. Lu Er that Lou Jinchen had ever seen. He was followed by some young people, who did not hesitate to see Lou Jinchen. Now Lou Jinchen's reputation is not small, and

Instead, the leader of Huoling Temple seemed mysterious.

However, they said they wanted to visit the temple owner, so Lou Jinchen did not talk much with them and asked Shang Gui'an to report to the temple owner. After a while, Shang Gui'an came back and took them to the temple owner's room.

During the waiting process, it was Lou Jinchen who chatted with them. He didn't say anything, just introduced each other.

They were all the younger disciples or close relatives of the people who died in Matoupo that day. However, Lou Jinchen felt that the head of the Lu family was just an overachiever, and the young man next to him would be the real person in charge of the Lu family in the future.

He felt a sense of vigor from the young man and the love and care of the current head of the family.

They left before lunch, but Lou Jinchen was called in by the visitor. The visitor complained slightly: "They came here to ask about the specific situation in Matoupo that day. You also know the details.

Why let them ask about this view?"

Lou Jinchen immediately understood that the temple owner was annoyed by those people, and that the temple owner was not a person willing to receive people.

"When someone calls on the temple master by name, the disciple should inform him clearly. If the temple master is not willing to meet him, he can just refuse to see him." Lou Jinchen said.

"What are you talking about? This temple is established in the swimming area. Although it has been approved by the government, it is not easy to offend fellow Taoists. In the future, you should bear more responsibility for this temple in dealing with people." The master of the temple.

said.

Lou Jinchen discovered once again that although the temple owner doesn't like to talk to others, he understands these things very well.

"The master of the temple hides himself in peace, but lets his disciples take care of these common things. The disciple has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, but he will offend others." Lou Jinchen said.

"It's your reason to offend others. What does this mean in the original view?"

The visitor picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. It was brought back from the valley that day and was used by Granny Du to entertain the guests.

Lou Jinchen smiled. The master of the temple was indeed a sensible person, and he was also a Taoist. It would not be wrong to call him a Taoist.

What the master of the temple means is that if you offend someone, it must be because of the principles of your sword practice and your practice. There is no need to tell him.

Lou Jinchen has practiced swordplay since he was a child. A sword is a weapon and a tool for killing people, so it naturally needs a scabbard. Lou Jinchen’s scabbard is the result of the poems he memorized since he was a child, some rules taught by his grandfather, and what he has learned in school since he was a child.

Those virtues in books.

Although he may not be able to do it all, it allowed Lou Jinchen to form his own three views.

There are heroes and gallantry in poetry, there is sadness and pathos, and there is romance and lofty sentiments. People who love these will never have the character of being a coward, at least they have their own dignity in their hearts.

Time flew by and another three days passed.

The unknown triangular woman hasn't come yet. Lou Jinchen is actually looking forward to their money for traveling. He wants to see what they can give.

On the fourth day, the triangular-shaped woman finally arrived, but she was already blind in one eye.

"Why is this triangular-shaped demon blind?" Lou Jinchen sighed in his heart. He had a good impression of this triangular-shaped woman.

However, she seemed to have had a struggle, and lost the struggle.

"Taoist Priest, I came to say goodbye to the Taoist Priest. After I returned the day before yesterday, the immortals held a meeting and said that they would prepare gifts to send to Huoling Temple, but some immortals did not agree. We had a conflict, and even I

My grandma was caught by them." The triangular-shaped woman lay on the wall of the courtyard and said sadly.

"Why don't they agree? Do you have any rules in this regard?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"We, the Immortal Family in the mountains, generally treat people well and value harmony. There are no rules in the mountains and fields. However, if there are strong people living in a temple or a cave, then we need to take a detour when we go out, which will often delay our attack.

In time, our groom is likely to die, so we will buy a route to a place like Huo Ling Temple so as not to take a detour." said the woman with a triangular head.

"That means there are some great immortals among you who think our Huo Ling Temple is not worthy?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Yes, Taoist Priest, there are many immortals in the Huangxian sect who do not agree with our proposal. Liuxian's groom is not in the Swimming City area. The Fox Fairy has always been aloof and just watches from the sidelines and does not care about these things. The Gray Fairy is close to the Huangxian

, this time the Huangxian faction invited a group of apes from other places to come to the mountains, and they sold all of our Baixian territory to the ape tribe."

Lou Jinchen understood clearly. The five immortals he knew were divided into fox immortals, yellow immortals (weasels), willow immortals (snakes), white immortals (hedgehogs), and gray immortals (rats). The weasels invited a group of apes.

Came back and drove away the White Fairy Hedgehog.

However, Lou Jinchen thought that the woman with the triangular head was a snake.

"Who are you?" Lou Jinchen asked directly.

The triangular-headed Bai who was lying on the wall suddenly shrank from the courtyard wall as if she had been insulted, and then heard her sobbing, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Lou Jinchen rubbed the back of his head. He learned so much in school and learned a lot of spells here, but he never learned how to coax a girl. Oh no, she is a banshee.

Is it a hedgehog or a snake?

Lou Jinchen put on his sword and stepped out. The wind suddenly picked up, as if the wind blew him up the courtyard wall, and then fell outside the wall. Looking for the sound, he saw a hedgehog huddled under the courtyard wall.

.

"It's actually a hedgehog, so what do I see? Why does it look like a snake head?" Lou Jinchen thought to himself, but he really didn't know how to comfort a hedgehog, so he could only ask: "Are you okay? I'm actually a hedgehog.

I haven’t been practicing for a long time, so I don’t know the rules for many things.”

"Woo, I'm leaving." The hedgehog looked about the size of two adult fists, with gray and black thorns on its back. Lou Jinchen couldn't see her face at all.

"Where are you going?" Lou Jinchen asked smoothly.

"I'm going to Qianku Mountain to find my third aunt to save grandma." The hedgehog cried and said.

Lou Jinchen didn't know where Qianku Mountain was at all, and he didn't want to get involved in the grudges in the mountain. He couldn't care about human affairs, let alone the affairs in the mountain.

Seeing this thorny creature running in the night, I couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"

The hedgehog had submerged into the grass and made no movement. Just when Lou Jinchen thought she didn't want to tell him, he heard a voice saying: "My name is Bai Xiaoqi."

This, the name was chosen so casually.

The next day, Lou Jinchen stood in front of the Huoling Temple. He saw a group of people. To be precise, more than ten people were tied together with ropes, and there were more than twenty people driving them.

Everyone had shoes or some weapons in their hands, and they were shouting and whipping those who walked slowly.

Lou Jinchen didn't know who they were, but tying up more than ten people to the mountains early in the morning didn't seem like a good thing, and those people didn't seem like good people.

Both Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding were startled by the sound. They left Huoling Temple and came to the slope, looking at the group of people below.

After Deng Ding looked at it carefully, he suddenly said to Lou Jinchen: "Brother, I recognize one of these people. He is a famous horseman in Swimming City. He can invite the immortals from the mountains to come and possess him. He is quite famous. He once helped me.

My father solved a serial murder case."

Lou Jinchen immediately understood what was going on. Yesterday, there was an internal fight among the immortals in the mountains, which affected the people who worship the immortals in the human world. Those arrested must be the grooms of Bai Xian. Bai Xian

Xian failed and implicated these people.

"Do you know anything about the groom?" Lou Jinchen asked.

Deng Ding was the son of a head catcher in Swimming City and had been an official for three generations. Before he arrived at Huoling Temple, he had already thought about what magic to practice and naturally studied the horseman and the immortal family.

"In this area of ​​Swimming City, there are many Chuma families, and some even cover the whole village. What they enshrine in their ancestral halls is not the spiritual tablets of their ancestors, but the memorial tablets of the immortal family. They themselves do not have much ability, but they have been taught since childhood.

Training can allow the Immortal family to possess them and use some spells. For these people who work as grooms, they actually pay a high price for the family, because the lifespan of grooms is not very long."
