After the centipede spirit was eliminated by Ping Daochang and the others, the mountain temple on the outskirts of the city returned to its former peace.
That day, the big locust tree in the courtyard of the mountain temple was struck by thunder and split into two halves. The other half had been burned to black charcoal, while only the other half was still lush and leafy.
After suffering this disaster, the old locust tree turned out to be a blessing in disguise and became a human body. After a burst of golden light, the spirit of the old locust tree finally transformed into a human body. It curiously examined its human skin and self in the yard. feel good.
At this time, the golden light of the mountain god statue in the mountain temple also appeared. The mountain god appeared and came to the old locust tree spirit and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, after thousands of years of practice, you finally got your wish and transformed into a human body today. .”
Hearing the sound, the old Sophora tree looked up and saw that it was the mountain god. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Old Sophora tree's success today depends entirely on the inspiration of the Mountain God. If it weren't for the mercy of the Mountain God, Old Sophora tree might have ended up with the centipede." He ended up like a spirit."
The mountain god smiled and said: "I see that it has been hard for you to practice Taoism for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, you have never harmed anyone or harmed the common people. Regarding the matter of the centipede spirit, you are also forced by its lustful power. You dare not offend it, so you can only treat it." Turn a blind eye. That’s why I made an exception that day and told you those prophecies. Unexpectedly, you actually understood the mystery. I guess your life should not be cut off."
The old locust tree said gratefully: "If it weren't for the prophecies of the Mountain God, 'It's hard to escape a disaster, but to overcome it and perish. After a disaster, you can be reborn, and you can make up for it. Take advantage of opportunities in disasters, and bring fate in disasters. Opportunities come and blessings are grasped by the benevolent." 'Lao Huai would not think of a way to induce thunder from the sky to destroy the centipede spirit, to do justice for heaven, to eliminate demons and defend the law, to prove my innocence, Lao Huai, and that centipede spirit are not the same species."
The mountain god said: "What a Nirvana and rebirth! It was your original compassion, repentance, and reparative heart that enabled you to get this opportunity today and become single in human form."
Lao Huai knelt down and worshiped God: "Thank God for giving me the opportunity to be reborn, Lao Huai. From now on, Lao Huai will definitely be compassionate and continue to practice with great concentration in order to seek the Taoist Golden Immortal."
The mountain god said: "Looking at Lao Huai's piety, you will definitely be able to achieve righteousness."
…
Two days later, under the careful care of the people of Fengling Town, Ping Yitong's funeral was buried with dignity and splendor.
The people of Fengling Town carefully selected a geomantic treasure land for Ping Daochang and buried him in a beautiful place not far from Fenglin Town.
In order to thank Chief Ping Yiyi for his great kindness to Fengling Town, the people of Fengling Town placed a spiritual altar for Chief Ping Yiyi in the square on West Street, so that the people of Fengling Town will never forget Chief Ping Yiyi from generation to generation. His kindness will allow Ping Yiyi to enjoy the incense of Fengling Town for generations to come.
Today at Fulin Inn, Miss Mulian prepared a table of delicious food and wine to treat Du Xinrui and others.
Everyone sat around the table, and Miss Mulian spoke to add to the fun. She raised her glass and said, "Thank you all for eradicating the centipede spirit that harmed Fengling Town and restoring the peace of Fengling Town. Thank you!" At this time, Mu Lian said: Miss Lian's tone became solemn, "I would also like to thank Chief Ping. Without him, Fengling Town would no longer exist. With this glass of wine, we pay respect to Chief Ping. We wish him a good journey and may he reach bliss soon."
All the people raised their wine glasses with a solemn mood and devoutly offered a glass of wine to the deceased Ping Daochang.
After giving a drink to Ping Ichichang, everyone quietly cleared away their heavy hearts and began to eat and drink happily.
The female monk said: "Since I left home, this is the first time I have eaten the most delicious food. In addition, because of the incident with the harmful centipede spirit in the past two days, I have not had a good meal. Rice, I must eat as much as I can today to make up for the losses in the past few days."
Du Xinrui said: "Sister Nvba has indeed worked hard. How about we toast Sister Nvba together and thank her for coming in such a timely manner? Otherwise, I don't know how to resolve this centipede essence matter?"
Everyone raised their glasses and toasted to the female emperor. Hearing the words, the female emperor felt a little ashamed in her heart. She said a little shyly: "What I just said was a joke. I didn't expect that sister Xinrui would take it seriously. This glass of wine How can I afford it? Otherwise, I think this glass of wine is still a toast to our friendship. How about we toast to the everlasting friendship?"
Everyone said in unison: "Okay, let's drink to our everlasting friendship."
Du Xinrui raised her wine glass and said to Nuba: "Sister Nuba, I toast you this glass of wine. If you hadn't appeared in time that night, my life might have been over. Sister, thank you for saving my life."
The female slave raised her wine glass and said, "Sister, you are serious. You are not allowed to mention trivial matters anymore, and you are not allowed to keep them in mind. You are my sister. If you say these things again, it will be out of sight." After speaking, the female slave raised her wine glass and accompanied Du Xinrui. Drink it all in one gulp.
As soon as Du Xinrui's wine glass was placed on the table, Yi Ran filled it up for Du Xinrui. Dao Xin and Yi Ran raised their wine glasses. Dao Xin said: "Miss Du, Junior Brother and I can't speak. We only have one sentence to say, thank you for your kindness. Help.”
Du Xinrui looked at the wine glasses raised by the two Taoist priests. She also picked up the wine glasses filled with wine and said, "When you go out, you should take care of each other. The two Taoist priests don't have to worry about it. After drinking this glass of wine, only If you need me, Du Xinrui, just ask, because we are friends."
Dao Xin and Yi Ran smiled and said, "Yes, we are friends, cheers."
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together, accompanied by laughter.
Dao Xin and Yi Ran filled their wine glasses again, raised their glasses together, and said to Miss Mulian: "Mr. Mulian's face..."
Before Dao Xin and Yi Ran could finish speaking, Miss Mulian interrupted: "I know what the two Taoists want to say. It is me and the people of Fengling Town who have to thank us. We don't need to say more. Thousands of words are all in this wine glass, let us do it!"
He said resolutely: "Miss Mulian is indeed a generous person. Well, I won't say much. All the words are in the cup. Let's have a drink."
As the saying goes, a thousand cups are too little to drink with a close friend, and this is true. The female slaves and the others are all good-natured people, and fate has brought them together.
Miss Mulian asked: "Now that the centipede spirit that caused trouble in Fengling Town has been eliminated, I wonder what your plans are. Why don't you stay in Fengling Town for a few more days, and I will lead you around, as long as there are no monsters causing trouble. , we still have a lot of fun places in Fengling Town."
Du Xinrui said: "I appreciate Sister Mulian's kindness. We have a long way to go. Seeing that the Kunlun Enrollment Contest is coming soon, we can't stay here longer for fear of missing the time and not being able to catch up with the Kunlun Enrollment Contest."
Miss Mulian said, "When does your sister plan to set off?"
Du Xinrui glanced at the female slave, who made an expression that let her make the decision.
Du Xinrui said: "Now that the monster trouble in Fengling Town has been eliminated, there is no point in staying here any longer. We want to leave for Kunlun early tomorrow morning."
Miss Mulian said: "Since the two of you have something important to do, it's hard to force my sister to stay. If the two sisters come to Fengling Town again in the future, don't forget that you still have a sister here."
The female master said: "Sister Mulian, don't worry, as long as we have time, we will come to Fengling Town to visit your sister.
Now that Du Xinrui and Nv Ba have been found, only Dao Xin and Yi Ran are left. We still don’t know what their plans are. Now that Ping Daochang is dead, what should they do next? Nv Ba and the others also want to You know, see if you can help them.
Miss Mulian asked Tao Xin and Yi Ran, "Two Taoist priests, now that Taoist priest Ping has passed away, I wonder what the two Taoist priests have planned next?"
Dao Xin said: "Originally, we wanted to follow the master to travel around the world, slay demons, and do harm to the people. But now that the master is gone, he left so suddenly. We haven't thought of what we should do for a moment."
Miss Mulian said: "First Priest Ping is kind to our Fengling Town. If the two Taoist Priests don't dislike it, how about staying at my Fulin Inn?"
Dao Xin said: "Thank you Miss Mulian for your kindness. I will go down with my junior brother to discuss what we should do next before we make a decision."
Miss Mulian said: "In this case, I won't force others to do anything. If the two Taoist priests need me, Mulian, just ask, and there is no need to be polite to me."
Dao Xinhe resolutely thanked her and said, "Thank you, Miss Mulian."
After having enough wine and food, several people were a little tipsy, but their minds were still clear and they were just a little excited.
Miss Mulian said: "When sister Du Xinrui first came to our Fengling Town, she was caught up in the evildoers and did not see the bustling night scene of our Fengling Town. Today, I will take this opportunity to take everyone to visit our Fengling Town." Night view of the town.”
Everyone said in unison: "Okay, it just so happens that we also want to see the night view of Fengling Town and visit the bustling night market of Fenglin Town."
Leaving the table in a mess, they took advantage of the alcohol and excitedly walked onto the night streets of Fengling Town. The night market in Fengling Town is indeed well-deserved. Even after midnight, pedestrians on the street are still walking shoulder to shoulder, one after another. The vendors on the street are also full of dazzling things, and the stall owners are very busy.
Miss Mulian said proudly: "How is it? The night market in Fengling Town did not disappoint you, right? Our Fengling Town enjoys the title of 'Nightless Sky'."
The female demon said: "The prosperity of Fengling Town is no less than that of the Imperial Capital, except that its scale is not as big as that of the Imperial Capital."
Miss Mulian said: "That's because our Fengling Town is located on an important traffic thoroughfare, that's why it's so prosperous now."
Du Xinrui asked: "Sister, have you been to the Imperial Capital?"
The female monk said, "I've been there once."
Du Xinrui envied Dao Dao: "I didn't expect my sister's experience to be so broad. I think that so far, Maplewood Town is the farthest place from home for me."
"My sister wants to go to the Imperial Capital. What's the difficulty? When we finish our studies in Kunlun and come down the mountain, I will take you to the Imperial Capital to play. Then you can do whatever you want and play as long as you want."
The two of them agreed that when they returned from their studies at Kunlun Mountain, they would go to the imperial capital together.
The few of them wandered around the bustling Fengling Town Night Market until they were almost ugly before returning to Fulin Inn. After a day of exhaustion, everyone fell on the bed and fell asleep with their heads covered as soon as they returned to the inn. Except for Dao Xin and Yi Ran, they were still planning their whereabouts. They were lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Insomniac Dao Xin and Yi Ran left their rooms in unison and went to discuss with each other what they should do next.
