My weird life

When the morning light faded, the Beilu Mountain monks in the dilapidated temple had already finished washing, had their morning lessons, and packed all their belongings onto several carts.

Old Taoist Yuanqing and his wife were busy putting saddles on the strong horses.

Several horses were shaking their heads in the hay shed, neighing, and showing some resistance to the reins, bridles, and other items on their bodies.

"Xianchun, go help your parents!" Chilong Zhenren called out Xianchun among the Taoists and asked him to help Yuanqing Taoist couple - Xianchun was in the queue and frequently turned to see his father. On my mother's side, she was also afraid that her parents would not be able to control a few strong horses and would be injured by the horses.

Master Chilong waved his hand, Xianchun quickly bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Master."

He hurriedly left the queue and went to help his parents.

He raised his eyes and looked at the trees in the distance. A handsome Taoist priest wearing a black robe walked through the woods with a sword on his back and returned to the ruined temple. Master Chilong withdrew his gaze and said to his disciples: "Your master is back too. Ah, we can leave right away!

This time, let’s go to the nearest town of Nanxia first.

There is a big fair there today, and the "Wandering Gods and Ghosts Convention" at Ksitigarbha Temple will be held there. We also went to see the excitement and have breakfast at the fair instead of cooking it at home.

After breakfast, we strolled around the market and headed to Nanxia Pier.

Sell ​​a horse and buy a boat.

…”

Chilong talked to his disciples about what they would do today.

The Taoists are all young men and women. They usually live in the deep forest and have little contact with the outside world. In fact, all of them have long felt that such a life is very boring. However, their masters and masters have been planning big events in recent days. They were strictly ordered to stay at home and practice well, so naturally they did not dare to disobey their master's orders.

Until today, all the Taoists were summoned by their master and learned that they could go to the market today to watch the excitement. Their eyes suddenly lit up and their excitement was palpable.

Su Wu carried several wooden swords on his back and walked from the woods in the distance.

He nodded slightly to Master Chilong and said hello.

All eyes were focused on him.

The master looked at the hilts of several wooden swords behind him and asked with a smile: "Is the wooden sword finished?"

"It's done." Su Wu nodded.

"In the past few days, you have cultivated your righteousness bag, learned my flying sword technique, and now you have developed a few peach wood swords - I knew that you would gain something from your practice this morning, so I called everyone in advance "When you come back, we will go to Nanxia Town for a walk!" Chilong Zhenren said with a smile, "In this wild forest, we only eat some wild vegetables every day, and we are short of oil and salt. It is just the right time to go to the town for a toothpaste!"

Su Wu listened to the complaint of Master Chilong, then took off the sword bag on his back and handed a peach wood sword wrapped in a linen bag to the disciples: "Take these wooden swords with you. If your lives are in danger, , someone can generate a sense, and as long as you are still within a hundred steps of my master, I can activate the sword talisman to save you."

He paused, turned to Master Chilong and said, "Today is already the ninth day of April."

"That's right!" Master Chilong nodded, "I just told them that today we will have a big meal at the market, and then we will sail to the Min River together.

The biggest thing was done four or five days in advance.

All the Dharma lineages in Nanlu are waiting in vain for ‘April 14th, the real Lu Mountain will appear’! "

Su Wu looked at the real Chilong, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."

He turned to his disciples and said: "I'm lending these wooden swords to you. You must remember to keep them with you no matter what situation you encounter! This is at stake for your lives!"

"I understand, Master!"

"I will obey my master's orders!"

All the disciples responded one after another.

Seven of the ten peach wood swords were divided and handed over to his disciples. Su Wu put the sword bag on his back again. There were only three wooden swords left in the sword bag. Next to the sword bag, there was a foot and a half of shark skin sheath. Long and short swords.

Master Chilong glanced at the sheathed dagger behind Su Wu, then looked around. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he waved to the disciples: "Get in the car and let's go!"

Several strong horses came from the Hunlong Taoist Temple in Jiyun Town, pulling the Beilu Mountain Group Road on the cart, slowly through the deep forest, onto the main road, and headed for Nanxia Town.

The grass grows, orioles fly, and the green willows support the wind.

At this time of year, there is always a lot of rain.

The convoy of Beilu Mountain was walking on the road. Before the morning light had dissipated, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The rainwater could only slightly wet the surface of the passers-by's clothes. There was still dust on the dirt road trampled by the horses' hooves. up, not wet by the drizzle.

Today is the big market held in Nanxia Town every ninth and twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

And because the Ksitigarbha Temple's Wandering Gods and Ghosts Conference was held here, there were many pedestrians and vendors on the road, carrying various home-produced vegetables, fruits, livestock, etc., on their way to the market in Nanxia Town.

On the road, it is actually very rare to see a convoy of several horses like Beilu Mountain.

Passers-by couldn't help but cast their eyes frequently on the traffic lanes.

Chilong Zhenren didn't take it seriously. Every time he walked for a while, he would see old people carrying goods and old women with young children, and he would take the initiative to stop the car and give them a ride.

More and more people were sitting on the cart.

Women, children and the elderly sat on the edge of the car, talking about the weather in recent days, the crops planted in the fields, and the new things they occasionally encountered. The journey was not boring.

It seemed like just the blink of an eye.

The motorcade took people to Nanxia Town.

"The Wandering Gods and Ghosts Convention won't start until noon!" The old man carried his bamboo basket from the cart. There were a few goose eggs lying in the bamboo basket, and two goose eggs with their heads down and lifeless eyes hanging next to them. Rooster, he pointed to the southeast of Nanxia Town and pointed to Beilu Mountain, "The ninth day of April is the birthday of a local 'master' in Nanxia Town.

Therefore, the "Wandering God Team" from Ksitigarbha Temple will come to Nanxia Town.

Originally, the Wandering Gods and Ghosts Conference was prepared for gods and goddesses from all over the world.

You wait until noon and you will see the Youshen Team coming from the 'Fu Laoye Temple'! "

"That's it." Master Chilong listened to the old man's introduction, nodded, grinned at the old man and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!"

Hearing the sound, the old man looked Chilong up and down, his eyes especially on his big beard for the longest time. The old man shook his head and said: "I am the same age as you, but you call me husband, and you call me old. ah……"

As he spoke, he put the bamboo basket on his back and walked away slowly.

Master Chilong was left standing there, his mouth slightly opened, and no words were spoken for a long time.

'Zhengyi Xingsheng', Xianchun, Xianzhen sisters, and Su Wu all heard what the old man said to Chilong Zhenren, and the seven disciples all suppressed their laughter and blushed.

Su Wu shook his head and led the horse towards the market town: "Let's find a place to have breakfast first. There are still many things to do after breakfast."

Everyone agreed in unison and followed Su Wu with their horses.

Chilong Zhenren had a depressed look on his face. He stayed for a moment and hurriedly followed the convoy.

After breakfast, it was still a long time before noon.

The Beilu Mountain group wandered around Nanxia Town.

Speaking of wandering around, Chilong Zhenren led his disciples and bought a lot of things.

I bought several musical instruments such as flutes and guzhengs.

In addition to practicing Taoism, delving into the mysteries of music theory is probably Chiryu's second favorite hobby.

Wandering like this until almost noon, with the sound of playing and playing from the Fu Laoye Temple in Nanxia Town, the Wandering God Team of the Ksitigarbha Temple was finally ready. At noon, this team wore various colorful opera robes and painted faces. The team wearing all kinds of ferocious facial makeup invited the paper-tied 'Master Fu' to the center of the team. The whole team staggered around Nanxia Town with strange steps.

People from all over the world gathered here, many of whom wanted to watch the gathering of wandering gods and ghosts.

As a result, the people poured into the streets beside the market town, following step by step the team of wandering gods, and walked around Nanxia Town.

The Beilu Mountain Road was surrounded by crowds, and they watched the entire "Wandering Gods and Ghosts Conference".

In the discussion of the people watching,

Learned a lot of information.

'The Ksitigarbha Temple's Wandering Gods and Ghosts Conference has been held since the first day of April. Starting from the first day of the lunar month, Ksitigarbha Temple has sent out several teams of wandering gods, starting from various points in the Minjiang River system and traveling around many prefectures and cities in Fujian. market town, until April 14th,

Various gods enshrined in various cities, towns, and localities will be gathered together and invited to the place of 'Yuanxi Ferry'.

On April 14, all the gods tied with paper will be burned to ashes at Yuanxidu of the Minjiang River.

The entire Wandering Gods and Ghosts Conference has since come to an end.

But in the first half of April, there are not only the "Wandering Gods and Ghosts" at Ksitigarbha Temple, but

The Pu'an altar, the Lingpo society that Zimai faked among the people, the Taoist altars of various Taoist schools controlled by Heijiao Mountain, and several Taoist temples will hold various Dharma gatherings and fasting festivals in the first half of April, and all families will gather at Yuanxidu this place.

By April 14th,

This is the busiest time in Yuanxidu. ’

‘Yuanxi Ferry’ is undoubtedly a crucial place for the Nanlu Mountain sects.

The location of the ‘Real Lu Mountain’ as deduced by the Nanlu sects,

It should be at ‘Yuanxi Ferry’!

"The Yuanxi Ferry is quite far from here, and the land route is extremely difficult. It requires climbing over many dangerous mountains and going deep into inaccessible places. However, I have inquired with several Dan family members. If we can take the water route, then Much faster.

Those Dan family members promised a certain person that if we take the water route, they will send us to Yuanxi Ferry before April 14th! "Master Chilong sat on the carriage and watched the carriage gradually leave Nanxia Town and go to the nearest dock. He then discussed with Su Wu, "I originally planned to buy a boat and choose it in the nearby waters of Minjiang River. Location, try to step into the land of Zhenlu Mountain.

However, all Nanlu sects gathered at Yuanxidu, which shows that Yuanxidu is an extraordinary place and is closer to the location of Zhenlu Mountain.

It may be easier to get to Zhenlu Mountain from there.

So, what if we also cross to Yuanxi River? How many Dan family members are invited to be guides and boatmen?

how do you feel? "

"Anything is fine." Su Wu said.
