The ancients did not know the current month, but this month once illuminated the ancients.
According to the locals, the Chengdu-Chongqing Ancient Post Road has three streets, four towns, five post stations, and seventy-two halls along the way. One hall is 15 miles long, and the whole journey is about 500 kilometers.
If you don't fly with the sword, it will take at least 20 days from Shujun (now Chengdu) to Yuzhou (now Chongqing), and it will take at least more than a month if you stop and go in the middle.
After arriving in Yuzhou, turn to the waterway, take a boat to Tongguanyi, and then go down the river from Tongguanyi to Jingzhou. After arriving in Jingzhou, go down to the south of the Yangtze River along the waterway.
Bai Suzhen galloped along the post road.
Along the way, what she saw and heard made her feel more and more heavy.
?Since the Anshi Rebellion, the situation in Datang has gone from bad to worse.
The scramble for power and profit in Chang'an City intensified the separatism of various feudal clans.
The soldiers were in chaos, the people suffered, the fertile land was barren, and the people were displaced.
Seeing the sunset, there are still more than 30 miles away from the nearest post station.
Bai Suzhen got off the post road, followed the path, and came to the gate of an earth temple.
The Earth Temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and the surrounding weeds are overgrown, making it a dilapidated scene.
"I will spend the night here tonight."
Bai Suzhen tied up the horse, picked up some dry firewood and hay from the surrounding area, and lit a bonfire.
The flames reflected her face red, but it still couldn't cover up the dust.
She took out a piece of white flour steamed bun from the bag, and took out a jug from the things close by.
A mouthful of steamed buns, a mouthful of wine.
Don't have a taste in my heart.
The fire made a "crackling" sound, as if telling something.
The night is lonely, the starry sky has no moon.
In the dark night, you can't see your fingers.
"Little friend, is this wine good?" Temple Master Xianyun stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Bai Suzhen didn't look at him, and said indifferently: "Senior, you have worked hard."
Seeing that she is calm and calm, like a normal person, Xianyun Guanzhu suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that there are masters of the Qingcheng faction hiding by her side?
Bai Suzhen took out a jug of wine and threw it over to him, saying: "Please drink, senior."
Master Xianyun took the jug, paused, and said: "I want to exchange a jug of wine for Jin Chan, isn't my little friend too naive?"
Bai Suzhen took a sip of the wine and said with a smile: "Before you start, let me treat you to a jug of wine. I still have some respect for the elders."
Immortal Xianyun doesn't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd, but if he can become the junior master uncle mentioned by the disciples of the Qingcheng sect, he is at least at the elder level, and his realm is not weaker than him. But if you look at your age, it seems that you are not the kind of person who has practiced for many years.
"Senior, don't worry, this wine is not poisonous."
Master Xianyun showed embarrassment, whether he drank it or not.
"I don't know what to call my little friend?"
"I'm Bai Suzhen, the head of the sect, Yu Xuzi, is my senior brother. By the way, do you still know each other?" Bai Suzhen said indifferently.
Master Xianyun felt a tug in his heart.
Yu Xuzi, that is one of the top ten immortals of the Taoist sect.
He also wants to know him, but he is not qualified!
"Fellow Daoist Bai, why don't you think so? Can I exchange other treasures with you for the Golden Toad?"
Bai Suzhen turned her head to look at him, and said, "Senior, I think you must have made a mistake. This golden toad is something that has no owner, so why exchange it!"
The face of Xianyun Guanzhu turned black instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Friend Bai, this golden toad was entrusted by Pindao to be raised in Li's residence."
"Is it really based on evidence?" Bai Suzhen asked.
The Lord Xianyun pondered for a moment, and said: "Do you know why the poor Taoist entrusted Jinchan to Li's house? Because this Li Yuanwai is willing to use her daughter's heart and soul to nourish Jinchan, and the benefits to him are endless. wealth."
Bai Suzhen's heart was stabbed by something suddenly.
Li Qiuyue didn't mention this to her, probably because of the painful memories washed away by this old Taoist.
"Does her daughter know the truth?"
Xianyun Guanzhu said: "How could his stupid daughter understand that her hard work can bring his father a fortune. This deal is worth it!"
Bai Suzhen breathed out a deep breath, and said coldly: "Death to a foolish daughter, in exchange for a lifetime of wealth. It is indeed a worthwhile deal!"
The Master Xianyun got up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, I have said everything that needs to be said. Jin Chan's poor Taoism is determined to win, even if he offends the Qingcheng faction, he will not hesitate!"
white?, it is better to die and bring countless wealth to the Li family, which is also a kind of filial piety! "
"Filial piety? Tiger poison doesn't even eat its offspring!"
"Shangxian is right. It was Li Shunyang who was obsessed with money, so he did this kind of thing. As long as Shangxian saves my life, I will definitely seek justice for Qiuyue."
Bai Suzhen said coldly: "Don't worry about it!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Suzhen disappeared into the formation.
She wants to use the Liangyi array to refine Xianyun Guanzhu into a physical body, so that Li Qiuyue can hide in it and live in this world like ordinary people.
There is a mixture of ice and fire.
The Lord Xianyun let out a heart-piercing scream ?
After decades of painstaking efforts, it turned into nothingness, and finally became someone else's flesh.
Perhaps, Xianyun Guanzhu didn't even think about it until his death, why did he end up in such a miserable end?
There is a saying in Buddhism, do not do any evil, but do all good.
Between heaven and earth, if you plant melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. Therefore, whether you plant a good cause or a bad cause, be the cause. When fate meets, it will definitely bear good or bitter fruits.
This is cause and effect.
It's a pity that Master Xianyun only thinks about Jin Chan so much that he forgets that he is still between heaven and earth, and he cannot escape cause and effect after all.
