When Song Ciwan was walking through the lobby, he heard someone say: "In the previous dynasty, Hanqiu Mountain was originally a Buddhist mountain! On the mountain, many wealthy families' family temples were built one after another. Those who lived in the family temples were all A female family member of a wealthy family, a monk and a pure cultivator!"
This simple sentence sounds ordinary, but somehow it has an indescribable feeling of horror, which makes the listener stop involuntarily and want to hear the truth of the story again.
Yu Lin was one of those who stopped.
Song Ciwan saw him standing there, listening involuntarily, so he stopped and listened carefully with him.
The storyteller had a weathered face, drank several glasses of wine, and had a few drops of alcohol on his messy beard. Others called him Mr. Luo.
Luo Sanye sat down at the table drunkenly, slapped the table with his hand, and said "Hey": "The family temple, do you know what kind of life the people who live in it live?"
"Wearing single clothes in winter and cotton-padded jackets in summer, we carry water and chop firewood, water gardens and plant vegetables. We no longer have the wealth and luxury of the past, and we no longer call slaves and maids, not to mention..."
"Reciting Buddha's name every day in front of the green lantern, knocking the wooden fish and copying sutras, kneeling and facing the wall are commonplace, and frying meat with bamboo shoots is a daily accompaniment. Newcomers will always be bullied by the old ones. Don't you know that the old people are also the original ones? They were once newcomers, and they were bullied by their old friends at that time!"
…
Mr. Luo spoke fluently about ancient times, and his words and sentences felt like he was actually there. More importantly, there was always an indescribable strange atmosphere in his words, which caused all the noise in the lobby to pause, and more and more people put down their thoughts. The topic turned to listen carefully to this person talking about ancient times.
At this time, a fool suddenly asked: "Fried meat with bamboo shoots? This is not a temple renovation, how can you still stir-fry meat?"
People became quieter, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter in the lobby.
The fool was still puzzled. Someone told him: "Fried meat with bamboo shoots is not really fried meat. It is beating people with bamboo sticks. There is no injury on the person's face, but the pain on the body will kill him!"
If it hurts an individual to death, it is only the predecessors who are hurting, not the people in the lobby today.
Therefore, after the man's words fell, there was another burst of "hahaha" laughter, and the mysterious atmosphere was inexplicably warmed up again.
There was still a drunken atmosphere in the lobby, and Mr. Luo also laughed loudly, and then said: "Fried meat with bamboo shoots is actually just ordinary, there are some tricks you can't think of! Such as inserting fine needles under the nails, eyes, ears and mouth My nose was covered with wet paper, which made me unable to breathe. I was about to die, so I reluctantly removed the paper."
"There are also those who cannot evacuate in time, and the person is gone at that time. What should I do if he is gone? Hey, that's not a problem!"
"When one enters a family temple to practice spirituality, it is said to the outside world that he is actively cultivating and praying for his family. In fact, those are all sinners who were punished in the mountains. Does it matter if a few sinners die?"
Someone shuddered when they heard this and said: "Master Luo, these people who were punished to the family temple, you said they were originally the women of wealthy families. In this case, they must have good backgrounds. What mistake did they make? How come you have to suffer like this?"
Mr. Luo took a sip of wine and said with a drunken smile: "There are so many crimes! Those who marry are either jealous and unworthy, or have been childless for many years, or disrespect their elders, or hinder their husbands... ... There are also some, which don’t have to have any names. They just say that one zodiac sign does not match and the attributes are incompatible, so they ask you to go to the family temple to practice for a period of time. Can you not go?"
"There are also those who are not married, there are concubines who are suppressed by their aunt's mother, there are eldest daughters who are suppressed by their stepmothers, and there are those whose parents have died who are suppressed by their relatives. There are countless names for that."
"There are also some people who have both parents, but are jealous of their biological parents. They have a bad life, hey, they just have a bad life!"
"The land of Xuanyuan at that time was not like ours now, where the world is unified and all nine states are co-lords. At that time, our land in Huailing was governed by a country called Yun State."
"In the last years of the Yun Kingdom, there was a severe drought. Three thousand miles of bare land, from north to south, was like chaos!"
"I don't know how many heroes raised the flag of righteousness. They were killed and blood flowed like rivers..."
As Mr. Luo spoke, he gestured with his hands: "There was a young lady who was a pure monk in Hanqiu Mountain. One day when she was cutting firewood in the back mountain, she met an injured young man. She saw that this man was covered with injuries, but despite her own situation It’s difficult, but it also gives rise to a desire to retreat.”
"The young lady rescued the young man and hid him in the back mountain. She saved her own water and food every day, only to hide it quietly in her arms when she was chopping firewood, and brought it to the back mountain for the young man to eat."
"From young people, I heard about a completely different world."
"I heard that someone took advantage of the injustice on the road and drew a sword. At that time, he beheaded the villain but was wanted, so he simply rebelled against the court and joined the rebel army."
"There was a woman from a noble clan who saw that her child was pitiful, so she gave him a pancake and a pot of drinking water. However, she was sued to the clan, saying that she had met her husband in private and gave and received gifts in private. The clan sentenced her to sinking into the pond. die!"
"Although some people mentioned that the child was only eight years old, men and women do not sit at the same table when they are seven years old. If a woman gives bread to an eight-year-old child, it is a private gift!"
"Ah……"
He laughed, and the people who listened intently couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
Mr. Luo Sanye said: "The young man told the young lady that the woman resisted the clan with great strength and had a dagger hidden on her body. At that time, he stabbed to death the clan leader who had sentenced her to sink into the pond."
"After stabbing the clan leader to death, she took advantage of the chaos and fled. Soon after, she had a strange encounter outside, practiced martial arts, and later joined the rebels."
"That woman is General Shuiyun, who later became famous in the rebel army, the Red-browed Empress!"
People praised again, and some said: "We still have the Red Eyebrow Empress Temple there."
Mr. Luo continued: "Miss often talks with young people, and she learned that if people are oppressed, they can resist. She also understood that the world is big, and it turns out that it is not just the courtyard of the back house, and the gloomy Hanqiu Mountain.”
"The young lady made an appointment with the young man. Once the young man recovers from his injuries, she will escape from Hanqiu Mountain with him, join the rebel army, see the scenery of the world, and see what a world without clan constraints is like. of!"
"It's a pity that although everything was good, the young lady was followed by the bhikshuni who lived in the same room and found out the clues before the young man recovered from his injuries."
"Later, you all know that the young lady was sentenced to sinking in the pond by the clan. She also wanted to imitate the Red-browed Empress in assassinating the clan leader and taking advantage of the chaos to escape. However, with the example of the Red-browed Empress in the past, these people can imitate it later. . They cut off the lady's hand tendons and hamstrings in advance, stripped her to a thin piece, and tied her tightly."
"The young lady was so humiliated that she sank into the pond and died, but the young man escaped."
"Not long after, the rebel army broke through the Shunling City at that time and wiped out several wealthy families in the surrounding area! Another person set a fire on Hanqiu Mountain and burned the family temple on the mountain to the ground."
"From then on, the sound of bhikshuni chanting sutras was no longer heard on Hanqiu Mountain, but there was mist coming down from the top of the mountain."
"If someone passes by the foot of Hanqiu Mountain, he can vaguely hear a woman calling, please stay, stay with me..."
He said the last sentence while holding his throat and imitating an ethereal and delicate female voice.
Everyone in the lobby got goosebumps when they heard this.
Someone screamed in horror: "Ah!"
Mr. Luo slapped the table with a bang and burst into laughter.
After laughing a few times, he suddenly let out a wine burp, then lay down on the table, snored, and fell asleep!
Everyone in the lobby was still enjoying what they heard, but Mr. Luo was drunk to death, who could wake him up at this time?
People couldn't wake Mr. Luo up, but they could continue to talk: "We mud-legged people know the difference between men and women, but fortunately they are not as scary as some wealthy people. In this way, our lives will be even longer." Better off!”
"Hey, are you dreaming, what do you eat, and what do others eat? You eat one cake, but others can eat a basket of cakes!"
"Hahaha!"
People laughed again.
Yu Lin woke up from his dream and quickly walked out.
When he walked outside the Di shop, he blushed and said to Song Ciwan, "I'm sorry, Sister Yueniang, I wasted the time."
Song Ciwan smiled and said, "Brother A Lin, don't you know that I also want to hear it?"
Yu Lin scratched his head and smiled relaxedly this time.
The two of them first went to a store outside to buy snacks, dried fruits, wine, and other gifts. Song Ciwan secretly put a small porcelain bottle in the snack box while Yu Lin was not paying attention, and contained a Qi-moving pill.
Sitong Escort Bureau did not settle in the official residence store, but went to their branch in Huailing City.
In fact, the headquarters of Sitong Escort Bureau is in Pinglan City, and their branches are spread all over Cangling County. It is precisely because of this that Sitong Escort Bureau has the confidence to dare to cross several cities and take people all the way to Pinglan.
When he arrived at the Sitong Escort Agency, Yu Lin reported his name as Escort Wei, and it didn't take long for him to meet him.
Although everyone in the escort agency was resting, no one drank or indulged.
The lights in the escort office were brightly lit, and everyone was replenishing and packing things they would need on the road in an orderly manner.
Yu Lin and Song Ciwan followed Escort Wei into the small hall where the Escort Bureau was waiting for guests. Escort Wei glanced at the things Yu Lin brought and said with a smile: "My nephew is just trying to covet me. Our Escort Bureau has regulations. On the way to escort, No drinking allowed.”
Yu Lin said slightly awkwardly: "Uncle Yu will take it with you and drink it when you get to Pinglan."
Bodyguard Wei suddenly laughed: "My nephew Ji Yan, then I will accept your uncle Yu. When we get to Pinglan, I will drink this wine with you!"
Yu Lin looked frightened again and said: "Uncle Wei, I'm sorry, my nephew came here because my mother made a decision, we, we won't go to Pinglan. My mother wants to ask Uncle Yu to ask if the escort agency can Is there any way to send news to Suyang? If it is convenient, please help me bring a message to my father."
As he spoke, he took out the brocade bag containing ginseng from his arms.
There is no need to open the brocade bag, the aroma of ginseng will already come out through the bag.
Bodyguard Wei looked solemn and said, "You want to bring a message to Suyang?"
Yu Lin's face was full of anxiety and shame, and he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Bodyguard Wei put his hands on the small table and tapped his fingers lightly.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Well, it's reasonable for you not to go to Pinglan anymore. But I can't vouch for you about going to Suyang to spread the word. I can only say that you write down what you are going to say. If there is a chance and the news can be passed on, it will pass naturally!"
Yu Lin was so happy that he stood up and said respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Wei!"
He also mentioned that Song Ciwan needed to continue to Pinglan and asked escort Yu Wei to take care of him at his convenience.
This escort Wei was not embarrassed and readily agreed.
Song Ciwan didn't speak during the whole process, standing quietly aside like a pendant.
Bodyguard Wei recognized her face and did not ask her why a young lady did not simply stay in Huailing like her family, but instead trekked thousands of miles to Pinglan.
Finally, he asked the apprentice who was following him to send Yu Lin and Song Ciwan out.
After the two of them left, Guard Wei opened the box of snacks in the small hall. He picked up a Sanhua cake and threw it into his mouth to eat. After taking a bite, he noticed the small porcelain bottle in the box.
He frowned and opened the porcelain bottle, poured out the pills inside and took a look. Then... the three-flower cake in his mouth fell to the ground in shock!
"Ah!" Guard Wei shouted, hurriedly protecting the bouncing pill in his hand.
It's just that he was too careless just now, so that he was so shocked that the pill almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he was in the late stage of Zang refining after all, and although he almost had the same hands and feet, he was able to put the pill back into the bottle quickly and gently once he used his martial arts skills.
It happened that his apprentice came back from seeing Yu Lin off. Seeing his master in a hurry, he couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Bodyguard Wei quickly stuffed the porcelain bottle into his arms and said with a solemn expression, "Did you personally send my nephew back to Didian?"
The disciple said "Ah": "I, I, the disciple only sent people to the door, do you want to send them to the di shop?"
Bodyguard Wei immediately said with a straight face: "Of course we have to send him back to Didian! Even though we are in the city, do you think it will be safe this night? Go quickly!"
Seeing that he was serious, the apprentice immediately agreed and ran out.
He went to chase the man, leaving escort Wei grinning in the small hall.
Bodyguard Wei took the rest of the gifts back to his room, and then began to actively inquire about spreading news for the Yu family. He also went to find other bodyguards he knew well and helped Song Ciwan get a carriage seat in the bodyguard team.
Song Ciwan and Yu Lin were caught up by the apprentice of the escort Wei, and Yu Lin felt flattered at that time.
So, one strictly followed the teacher's orders, the other was grateful and deliberately flattered, and coupled with the quiet pendant Song Ciwan, the three of them returned to Didian in a relaxed and happy way.
Bodyguard Wei's apprentice said goodbye and left, while Yu Lin's steps were still a little light.
I saw that the crowd talking loudly in the restaurant had dispersed a lot, and the topic of Hanqiu Mountain had been passed over by people. Some people were saying: "I heard that the Demon King level originally corresponds to the god refining stage, but we can support the true king of light to transform into a god. In the later stage, you will be able to kill the demon king in reverse, and it will not be an ordinary demon king, but a golden-winged roc!"
"Our True Lord Fuguang is at a disadvantage because our training time is too short. Humans can only join the list if they are under fifty years old. Is True Lord Fuguang still thirty years old?"
"It's really unfair that the demon tribe is on the list if they are under 100 years old!"
People talked and criticized Fang Qiujian, as if he himself had become an unparalleled genius standing at the pinnacle of the world.
The night is so noisy, and the lights of the world always make people linger.
Song Ciwan shared a room with Aunt Jinhua and Yu Chan. When they fell asleep late at night, she used the dreaming technique to make their dreams more beautiful and deeper. Then she practiced while waiting for midnight.
After a few hours, she was able to operate the heaven and earth scales again to conduct sales!
