Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 132 Accident with an old friend outside the town, harvesting snow spirits in the mountains

If you know "Pupil Technique", and then follow Jiang Xuan's line of sight, you will see 23 evil spirits exuding strong evil aura, even turning into wolf-shaped evil spirits, attacking in this direction.

If you look more carefully, you will find that the center of these evil spirits is a spiritual light belonging to the human race.

"coming?"

Yang Shoutian cast a divine sense in the direction Jiang Xuan was looking at, and then frowned:

"How did the baby end up in the evil swarm?"

At the same time Yang Shoutian's words fell, those evil spirits had already rushed to the border of the mass grave.

In the dark woods under the moonlight, pairs of scarlet eyes also appeared.

"Ow~"

With a howling sound like a wolf or a dog coming from the forest, those evil spirits with scarlet eyes also walked out of the mass grave amidst sparse sounds.

"Earth sickness?"

Earth boredom refers to wild dogs that dig up graves and eat corpses and turn into evil spirits.

Xia people have always paid attention to the afterlife, but in troubled times, people are not as good as dogs. It is a blessing to be buried in a mat after a guest dies in a foreign country.

In this case, no matter how deep they are buried, those extremely hungry wild dogs will dig up the soil and eat as long as they smell a scent.

According to folklore, these wild dogs were disgusted by the mother of the earth after digging the soil, so they turned into evil spirits, so they are called jiyan, which means the earth hates them.

Glancing at the yellow loin at the head, Jiang Xuan then turned his attention to the baby on the back of the loin.

"Hey, what a little girl."

"Fifth Master, do you accept girls?"

Looking at the little girl who was restrained by evil energy to prevent her from falling, Yang Shoutian nodded, "Take it."

As soon as Yang Shoutian's words fell, a trace of human gratitude flashed in the scarlet eyes of the leader of Earth's Sickness.

It barked at the earthworms who were leaning over to attack them, and then walked up to Yang Shoutian alone, put down the baby that had been on its back, and then took a few steps back.

"Fifth Master, the red string around Di Yan's neck seems to be the same material as the little girl's swaddle."

"He didn't become evil to protect the Lord, did he?"

"Dogs understand human nature, there is a possibility."

While answering Jiang Xuan's question, Yang Shoutian picked up the little girl on the ground.

Looking at the chubby little girl in the package, Yang Shoutian nodded again:
"And it's very likely."

"If I'm not mistaken, this little girl has been relying on eating spiritual fruit to continue her life."

"Where can such a young child find the spirit fruit? It can only be found by this group of earthworms."

After the words fell, Yang Shoutian glanced at the leader of the earth lords, then looked around at the earth lords who were baring their teeth at him, and finally fell on the leader of the earth lords again:

"In the future, let Pindao know that you dig up the soil and eat it, and Pindao will definitely make you fly into ashes and annihilate."

"As for this little guy, the poor Taoist took her away. When she grows up, she will teach her to practice Taoism. Whether she can enter Taoism or not depends on her own good luck."

Hearing this, the big yellow dog-like earthworm knelt down in front of Yang Shoutian and kowtowed three more times before returning to the mass grave with a group of earthworms.

Before entering the deep forest, Jiang Xuan couldn't help being moved by the way it looked back at the infant baby.

However, he was moved. Seeing that those earth-loathings were out of the range of his spiritual perception, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but look at Yang Shoutian:

"Fifth Master, do you just let them go like this?"

Yang Shoutian, who was teasing the baby, looked at Jiang Xuan in surprise, "You didn't let me do it?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned speechless, and after a while he heard Yang Shoutian speak again:

"Those geoglyphs were planed for food, but only when they were feral dogs."

"After becoming evil spirits, not only did they not continue to plan food, but they also fed on evil spirits and ghosts. They never harmed anyone, and even helped passers-by who were attacked by ghosts, so if you can let them go, let them go. "

"In today's world, it is not easy for all spirits in the world."

"Besides, it's not that I didn't leave tricks on them."

"If they dare to continue digging up the soil or hurting innocent people, they won't keep them."

"Wow~~"

As soon as Yang Shoutian finished speaking, the baby who was being teased by him suddenly burst into tears.

Then he looked at Jiang Xuan innocently:
"What should I do if I cry? It seems like I peed my pants."

Jiang Xuan spread his hands:

"How do I know, I have never raised a child."

"Why don't you take her to Yujiang Town to find a woman to change her pants?"

"As for the future, why don't you find someone to take her after you go back to the mountain, and you will take her as your disciple when she grows up?"

Yang Shoutian nodded when he heard the words, "That makes sense, so let's go to the county seat first."

After saying that, he waved his hand and brought Jiang Xuan to Yujiang Town.

Open the door in the morning, the mountains are covered with snow, the snow is clear, the clouds are light, the sun is cold.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Xuan couldn't help exhaling a mouthful of mist when he opened the wing room of the Taoist temple and looked at the flying snow outside.

"It's already November 23rd, and it's the light snow season, and it's really time for snow."

Exhausted in a breath of air-conditioning, Jiang Xuan frowned again and looked at the sky covered with heavy snow:
"But judging by the astrology, this snow should not have fallen today, let alone for so long and so heavy."

"Master, are you up?"

Just as Jiang Xuan watched the stars pinching his fingers, Li Zhenzhen who was passing by the wing came up to him:
"Where is Master Yang? Why didn't you see him?"

"My uncle has already returned to the mountain. You are busy sending those children home. It's normal if you didn't notice."

Li Zhenzhen nodded when he heard the words, and then said:
"Then Master, do you want to eat?"

"If you want, the disciple will do it now."

Looking at the little boy led by Li Zhenzhen, Jiang Xuan shook his head:
"Forget it, you should send these little guys home first."

"As for me, it's time to go north to Beijing again."

When Li Zhenzhen heard this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to send this child back."

"After sending him home in the morning, the disciple realized that his parents had passed away years ago, and now they are living in his uncle's house."

"It's just that the conditions of his uncle's family are not good, and now that he is in Zaoxue, forcing him to stay may harm him."

"I thought about it for a while. If there is only one disciple in this Taoist temple, it would be strangely deserted, so I plan to accept him as a Taoist boy."

"When the disciple reaches the Dao base level, and this kid can also enter the Dao, he will be included in the gate wall."

"It's not easy to enter the Tao."

Patting Li Zhenzhen on the shoulder, Jiang Xuan took out a bag of spiritual wheat seeds after thinking about it:
"This is how I got the spiritual wheat seeds by accident. After planting, I can get spiritual wheat, but usually I need a technique like "Spring Wind Transforming Rain Technique" to nourish the spirit, otherwise the harvest will not be high."

"When you have time, open a few acres of land behind the Taoist temple, plant it, and then record the growth law of the lingmai."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan greeted the little fox and little tiger who were building a snowman:

"Let's go, it's time to hit the road."

Hearing this, the two cubs dropped the half-built snowman, stepped on the soft snow, ran to Jiang Xuan's side and started circling him.

Reaching out to pick up the two worry-free little guys, Jiang Xuan tapped the Azure Dragon Ring again, summoned Fang Ritu and put it on the little donkey's head.

The next moment, the little donkey, who had been shivering in the cold in the livestock shed, narrowed his eyes and showed a comfortable look.

With the Fangri Rabbit brand body warmer, the little donkey felt that he was doing well again.

Leading the little donkey to the outside of the Taoist temple, he looked back at Li Zhenzhen who was seeing him off, and Jiang Xuan immediately waved his hand, "Don't send it off."

"Although the evil cultivator is dead, there are many things going on in the town."

"Now that the heavy snow is falling suddenly, it is estimated that many people in the town are not prepared. If one fails, many people will freeze to death this winter."

"If you have time to send me off, why don't you do something for the common people, even if it's chanting the "Sutra of Saving Human Beings" to prevent the breeding of evil spirits."

After listening to what Jiang Xuan said, Li Zhenzhen bowed respectfully to Jiang Xuan at the entrance of the Taoist temple:
"The disciple obeyed, and the disciple respectfully sent off the master."

After waving at Li Zhenzhen again, Jiang Xuan drove a donkey cart out of Yujiang Town under the snowstorm.

Before going out of the town, the little tiger flying in mid-air, gathering snowflakes suddenly lowered down, and came to Jiang Xuan with a snowball in his arms:

"Master, aren't we going north? How do you go south?"

"Didn't you find that there is something wrong with the snow?"

Hearing this, the little tiger suddenly thought of something, flew up into the sky, circled around and then landed on the donkey cart, "This snow is really a problem."

"I went around the sky just now and found that only the twenty miles around Yujiang Town have snow."

"Out of this range, it's sunny outside."

"Yeah, the snow started to fall at midnight last night. It was so heavy when it fell, and it was still so heavy when we went out this morning."

"Last night, I thought it was time to snow in the light snow season, but after doing the math this morning, I realized that the snow was not right."

After hearing this, the little tiger showed curiosity, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Is someone doing it? Or is something evil making trouble?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head when he heard the words, "It's not like that at all."

"I can't figure out exactly what happened, but I'll know when I get there."

Just as he was about to call out Tu Rang to let him open the way, there was a sound of horseshoes behind Jiang Xuan, and then a clear and melodious call reached Jiang Xuan's ears:

"Little Taoist, hello~"

Looking back, isn't it the little girl in green who I met on the Qinhuai River is running towards me on a horse?

The one who walked beside the little girl but was able to keep up with her was that handsome monk named Yu Duxiu.

Seeing the two, Jiang Xuan was not in a hurry to trace the source of the heavy snow, and got off the donkey cart and waited by the roadside.

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Layman Liu, and Fellow Daoist Jade, long time no see."

Liu Xiu'er, who was still wearing green clothes, landed on the ground and waved her hands:

"Little Taoist priest, you made a mistake. You should call me Miss Xiu, and then the little monk Mr. Xiu."

"When I marry the little monk in the future, I will find a small village where I can hide from the world. I will wash, cook and have children for him, and he will teach the children in the village and be a teacher."

Looking at the little girl who smiled happily when talking about the future, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but secretly sighed.

She said it happily, but judging by the appearance of the little monk, this future is very difficult to realize.

"Little Taoist."

"No, my grandma said that you can't add small characters in front of Taoist priests, it's impolite."

As she spoke, Liu Xiu'er turned around on the snow with her hands behind her back:
"Master Jiang, why are you here?"

Hearing Liu Xiu'er's address, Jiang Xuan couldn't help being speechless.

Although the word master is also one of the titles for Taoist priests, it easily reminds him of those monks with fat heads and big ears, as well as a certain master surnamed Ma in his previous life.

So he spread his hands and went back, "Pindao is not very old, so Miss Xiu should call me a little Taoist priest, and Pindao doesn't mind."

"As for coming here."

Having said that, Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, then pointed to the sky where the heavy snow fell, "This snow came in a strange way, so Pindao is going to go to the source to see."

"Miss Xiu, what are you and the little monk doing here?"

Liu Xiu'er smiled and embraced the little monk's arm when she heard the words:
"My grandma said that there is a chance for me in Xuanhe, so she let me come here."

"I was afraid that Brother Xiu would be seduced by those foxes in the Qinhuai River after I left, so I pestered Zen Master Dawei to let him promise Brother Xiu to go out with me."

"Before we were looking for opportunities by the river, we saw that the snow here was a little abnormal from a distance, so we rushed over to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you."

Looking at the little monk who closed his eyes and lowered his head and whispered "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form", Jiang Xuan chuckled, "Little monk, why don't you dare to open your eyes to see Miss Xiu?"

"Your master drinks flower wine on the flower boat every day, but the Buddha's heart is crystal clear and spotless."

"As a Zen master's disciple, don't you even have the courage to look at Miss Xiu?"

Hearing this, the little monk opened his eyes, showing a helpless face and said:

"Brother Jiang Dao, do you need to help Miss Xiu play tricks on me?"

Jiang Xuan just wanted to say a few words to make fun of when he heard the words, but suddenly looked up to the sky.

It was already snowing like goose feathers, but it suddenly became heavier.

"I wanted to chat with you two more, but depending on the situation, it is not allowed."

"The poor have to deal with the heavy snowfall first, otherwise the people in Yujiang Town will have to leave their homes and move the whole town if the snow falls again."

After saying that, he looked at Tu Ran:
"Seven miles to the south, open the way ahead."

"only."

Tu Ran responded, and then opened a three-foot-wide loess road on the snow.

As soon as he walked onto the loess road with the donkey cart, there was a sound of horseshoes in Jiang Xuan's ears.

Looking back, didn't Liu Xiu'er follow with the little monk?

"Little Taoist priest, I am not in a hurry. If it is mine, it should be mine. We will go with you."

Jiang Xuan smiled when he heard the words, "Then I will thank Miss Xiu on behalf of the people of Yujiang Town."

"Mr. Xie Xiu."

Liu Xiu'er said seriously.

"Okay, okay, when I go back, I will send a message to the abbot of the Taoist Temple in Yuyang Town, and let him inform the people to give you Lianglisheng Temple."

Liu Xiu'er rarely blushed when she heard the words, "That's not necessary."

"I didn't intend to let those people thank me."

After walking seven miles while laughing and talking, the source of the snowstorm also fell into Jiang Xuan's eyes.

"Brother Xiu, look quickly, what is that?"

Liu Xiu'er leaned half of her body on the little monk, pointing at the little creature in the snow that looked like a mule but was covered in snow and was not as big as a young wolf dog, her face was full of joy.

The little monk who closed his eyes and chanted sutras did not open his eyes, and said directly, "It should be Xue Jing."

"It's just that snow spirits usually live in high mountains and snowy regions, so I don't know how this snow spirit came to Beihe Mansion."

Looking at the snow spirit that was standing within a radius of three feet without a trace of wind and snow, Jiang Xuan had a guess:

"This snow spirit must have swallowed some spiritual material to become a spirit."

As he spoke, he pointed to the unknown Lingzhi at Xuejing's feet, where only the roots were left, but still shone with spiritual light:

"It's a pity that a good spiritual plant was wasted."

Liu Xiu'er shook her head when she heard this:
"It's the little white mule's ability to eat that spiritual plant. Even if he doesn't eat it, other creatures and even evil spirits will eat it, so it can't be called a waste."

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xuan again:
"Little Taoist priest, do you have a slave animal bag? If you don't have a slave animal bag, you will be in trouble."

"It is said that the hairs on Xue Jing's body are condensed by the essence of the world's snow. Every hair that falls on the ground will accumulate a foot of snow. If there is no slave animal bag, then this snow spirit is really difficult to deal with."

Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard the words, "Although there is no slave animal bag, Pindao happens to have a demon refining pot."

As he said that, he had an extra black jade-colored demon refining pot in his hand.

Then he thought about it, and took out the apricot blossom wine that Qu Jiulang had given him.

Jiang Xuan, who likes to read all kinds of myths and tales, naturally knows about Xuejing.

It looks like a white mule, but it snows heavily when it sheds its hair.

These eighteen characters are the most accurate description of Xue Jing.

Reaching out to pat the top of the jade wine jar, Jiang Xuan immediately smelled a strong fragrance of apricot blossoms.

The aroma of glutinous rice and wine mixed in Xinghua Township seemed to bring him back to the Qujia Distillery in Jersey County.

Recalling the scene on the wall of Jersey County back then, Jiang Xuan couldn't help laughing:

"Pindao really didn't drink a sip of the two altars of peerless apricot blossom wine."

He stretched out his hand and put the wine jar in front of Xue Jing who ran up to him when he smelled the aroma of the wine. Seeing it happily drank a jar of apricot blossom wine and then fell drunk on the snow, Jiang Xuan smiled again:
"Maybe on the way back, we can ask Qu Jiulang for some more apricot blossom wine."

"This wine is really a good thing."

He reached out and patted the demon refining pot to put Xue Jing away, and then Jiang Xuan reached out to grab it, and three crystal clear hairs fell into his palm.

It's just that this hair doesn't seem to be popular.

The moment it fell into Jiang Xuan's palm, these hairs turned into water vapor and dissipated.

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky cleared away for no reason, and some pale sunlight fell to the earth at the same time as the last snowflake that fell.

Looking at the crystal clear ice flowers on the branches, Jiang Xuan showed a smile on his face.

He also indirectly saved a whole town of people.

Although those people don't know, this feeling is not bad.

"Little Taoist, since the snow has stopped, brother Xiu and I should go back to Xuanhe to find opportunities."

Looking at Liu Xiu'er who was holding the little monk's arm and waving to him, Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you?"

"Poverty."

Before Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Liu Xiu'er started waving her hands frantically, "No, no, no."

"Brother Xiu and I can look for it slowly, don't bother you."

Liu Xiu'er actually knew where the opportunity was.

But in her eyes, how could chance compare with the time spent with the little monk?
