People sit in the southern sky and watch the ages

Chapter 1 Opening Lanruo Temple

In early spring, when the sun rises, a layer of purple clouds blooms in the sky, covering the blue and black mountains in the distance like gauze.

Dazhou, Jinping Mansion, Beiguo County.

One tall and one short, two yamen servants in soap red, and one posted a bulletin on the gray-black city wall.

A man knocked on the golden gong and saw the people gradually gathering at the gate of the city. He shouted loudly, "The list of demons, there are demons in Lanruo Temple in Heishan who killed business travelers in the past. Ask people with supernatural powers to go and catch them, and you can get Taoism." Twenty merits."

There are evil spirits in Lanruo Temple...
There was a flash of understanding in the eyes of the merchants, and they were not surprised by this.

There are two reasons.

In today's world, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not right, and there are roosters in the morning, so that the five surnames in the southern kingdom are arbitrary across the river, and the islands in the East China Sea do not rule the emperor. There are martial arts domineering inside, and Mongolian peeping outside. , not surprisingly.

The second point comes from Lanruo Temple itself.

Lanruo Temple was originally an ancient temple in the former dynasty, but 50 years ago, the golden Buddha suddenly shed tears, and the eminent monks in the temple died suddenly overnight.

"I didn't expect a good Buddhist temple to become a place for evil spirits!"

A businessman with a round face and a square scarf squeezed in front lamented that his business needs to travel between Beiguo County and Weicheng. Now that Lanruo Temple is rumored to be plagued by evil spirits, who would dare to help him run the business? .

The merchants around were concerned and had different complexions.

"Round-faced Yang, you should be thankful that you still have time to lament here instead of being found in Lanruo Temple by others."

The chunky yamen servant who was beating the gong said with a sneer.

Hearing what the yamen servant said, the businessman surnamed Yang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

He thought for a while, wrapped his blue-gray sleeves around his hands, took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and handed it to the fat yamen servant, "Brother Qin, I don't know what the evil spirits of Lanruo Temple are. ?”

The fat yamen servant held onto the money, secretly thinking that the other party would be a man, no wonder the business has been booming in the past few years, he asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to the reporting institute, or do you not want to be reported to the reporting institute?"

The businessman surnamed Yang said without hesitation, "Of course it's better to report to the hospital."

Immediately, he realized that there was something in the other party's words, and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Qin, you still don't want to take the exam, I'm already an ant on the hot pot. If Lanruo Temple is closed, how can I transport my goods to Weicheng?"

The fat yamen servant patted the shoulder of the businessman surnamed Yang, "I'm going to tell you about it, this temple is in charge of my Dazhou 36 mansion, and the gentlemen in it will not be dispatched if there is no serious matter, so there will be evil spirits." I would rather not be the kind of major event reported to the hospital, otherwise, it would be a disaster."

"So that's what it is, that's how it is." The businessman surnamed Yang nodded repeatedly.

The fat yamen servant went on to say, "The corpses in Lanruo Temple were discovered by merchants passing by during the daytime. There were seven people in total. They were originally passing merchants. They were drained of blood and died. Lord Lieutenant of the County judged that the evil spirit entrenched in Lanruo Temple should only be a genus of Yin evil, and has the ability to cause disaster only recently, so he summoned capable people and strangers near my Beiguo County to exterminate the evil spirit."

The fat yamen servant spoke loudly. The reason why he explained so patiently was because of the broken money given by the businessman surnamed Yang on the one hand, and on the other hand it gave courage to capable people and strangers.

After all, catching evil spirits is a matter of family and life. If you don't understand clearly, no one will dare to rush up foolishly. These twenty skills are not easy to get.

After explaining to the businessman surnamed Yang, the fat yamen servant's eyes were locked on a tall man who stood out from the crowd in the distance. Wearing a wine bag made of yellow cowhide and carrying an epee on his back, he was so capable that he was naturally noticed by the yamen servants early in the morning.

"Is there any outsider who is willing to give it a try? Those who are interested can go to the county government to find out more details."

The bearded man pondered for a moment, then easily brushed aside the crowd with his strong arms, walked up to the fat yamen servant, cupped his hands and said, "Chuzhou Prefecture Yan is willing to give it a try."

The fat yamen servant put away the casualness just now, explained a few words to his companion, and then walked up to the bearded man, "Please."

He led the way straight ahead, followed closely by the bearded man.

Seeing the big man disappear, a businessman in the back couldn't help but sigh, "I've heard that Yan Chuduo is a generous person. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

"Hehe." The old man next to the merchant suddenly sneered twice.

The businessman was a little dissatisfied, and looked at the old man in patchwork clothes beside him, "That strong man exorcised demons in Beiguo County, what are you laughing at?"

The people around were immediately attracted by the sound, and looked at the old man with reproachful eyes.

The old man shook his head, "I'm not laughing at him, I'm laughing at myself."

"Laugh at yourself?" The businessman's eyes were slightly strange, and he felt that the old man must be crazy.

The old man didn't explain. He also pushed aside the crowd and went to the county government. As he walked, he said with emotion, "Twenty exercises, just to confer the talisman. This is Jiang Taigong fishing. Those who wish to take the bait."

Then he sang wildly and loudly,
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but fame and fame can't be forgotten!
Where are the ancient and modern generals? The pile of grass in the barren mound is gone.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget!
In the end, I only hate to get together, but for a long time my eyes are closed.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only the beautiful wife can't forget them!
Jun said kindness on his birthday, and Jun died with others.

Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, only children and grandchildren will never forget them!
There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times, who has seen filial children and grandchildren?"

······
An ancient and majestic gate stands on the side of the dome. The dragon on the vermilion gatepost is mighty, and its five claws protrude through the surrounding pale golden cloud sea, as if it will fly into the sky in the next moment.

Li Changqing withdrew his hand wearily, and the gilt-gold gate towering like a cloud suddenly closed, and the scene just now disappeared immediately.

He rubbed his swollen temples, smiled wryly and looked at the golden door in front of him.

Above the gate, there are all kinds of ever-changing relief sculptures, such as green dragons flying clouds, enshrining mountains and rivers, black turtles lying on their backs, and fairy islands on their backs.

There are also bodhisattvas and arhats who step on the golden lotus to travel between the Buddhist kingdoms.

At the highest point of the gate, the three divine inscriptions on the plaque are dazzling, illuminating the heavens.

Even though Li Changqing doesn't know this kind of writing, he can read the meaning at a glance.

South Gate.

Li Changqing thought of the ballad of the mad old man just now, and couldn't help sighing, "Everyone in the world is good to the gods, but they don't know that the gods will still have their days to die."

He looked around, only to see dilapidated fairy palaces in the distance, Qionglou overturned, and Hongqiao broken.

Devastated everywhere, black lightning spanned thousands of miles, crushing the golden sea of ​​clouds, hitting the divine splendor of Nantianmen from time to time, leaving behind a string of fiery trees and silver flowers.
