Snowflakes fell in large flakes on the road, on trees, in rivers, and in fields. When the wind blew away, a dense layer of coldness hit people's faces, making it so hazy that pedestrians couldn't see what was happening more than ten meters away.
Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Most people who have been busy for a year are staying in warm homes and happily preparing various things needed for the New Year, so there are not many people at this time. While still walking on the road, there was a thick layer of snow on the road. If it had been November, when there were many people traveling from north to south, the snow would have been trampled down, leaving only a muddy road.
A delicate carriage stopped in the middle of the road. One of the wheels was tilted because it was stuck in the snow. The coachman in decent cotton clothes was whipping the horses there, but he still couldn't pull the carriage, cursing in a low voice. : "I don't know what I think about going out in such heavy snow. I think this person is probably a charlatan."
I tried to push the car again, but found that I couldn't push it by myself. I wanted to ask the guests on the car to get off, but I was afraid of offending him. If I said such a thing in front of the master, I would not be able to do it. flowering. Wait, a passerby walked out of the wind and snow behind. He was of medium and slightly tall build, with white snow on his body and hair.
The coachman immediately came up to him and said, "This kindhearted person passing by, please do me a favor." He imitated the gentleman's gentle language, but it was a bit nondescript.
The passerby stopped when he heard this, and the coachman discovered that he was a young junior student wearing a Taoist robe and holding a long black flag. Although his appearance could only be regarded as ordinary, he had the kind of feeling that the master often said, what is it? With, yes, grace!
Shi Xuan has been walking north from Tongxuan Mountain for several days. The first two days were fine. He passed through the city without encountering any obstacles. Unexpectedly, just after crossing Caihe River, it started to snow for several consecutive days. , the road became very difficult to walk, but fortunately Shi Xuan didn't have to rush, and he also liked snow very much, so walking in the heavy snow every day was quite interesting.
Regarding what the coachman said, Shi Xuan only glanced at it and said with a smile: "You can call the people on the coach to get off and you can push it by yourself. You don't need help from a poor Taoist."
The coachman smiled sarcastically and lowered his voice: "How dare I? The carriage is a distinguished guest of our master's. The little Taoist master will help me. When I arrive in Kaiyang City, Li San and Li Ji still have some reputations. Just ask me for anything."
"Haha, okay, if I come to Fengcheng, I will look for you." Shi Xuan was a little funny when he saw the coachman's appearance, but it was just a matter of convenience, so he would help.
"Oh, little Daoist, don't believe it." Li Ji looked at the carriage behind him and whispered: "My master transferred Fengzhou from Liangzhou to serve as governor. The Yamen is in Kaiyang City. I, Li Er, can still say something in front of the master."
Shi Xuan didn't pay attention to these, smiled and said nothing, and walked to the carriage with the driver. The distinguished guest in the car didn't know what he was doing, but there was no movement anyway.
I stretched out my hand to try, and then with a strong exertion, the wheels of the horse came up from the depression, and then the whole carriage moved sideways a few feet, and then stopped steadily.
After doing this, Shi Xuan was very satisfied with his current strength. The effect of exercising and increasing internal energy was indeed good. He signaled to the driver and continued on.
The coachman's mouth was slightly open and could not be closed. It was not until Shi Xuan's back disappeared in the wind and snow that he felt that his mouth was full of coldness. He turned around and kept peeing to the side, and then rubbed his eyes. : "Damn, this little Taoist priest doesn't look like he has much meat, but his strength is boundless. He can't be some kind of monster, bah bah! Don't scare yourself!"
Hurrying back to the carriage, he raised his whip and continued his journey in the wind and snow.
Shi Xuan waited until dusk when he saw a small town. On the street opposite the town entrance were children playing outside, running around in twos and threes.
The children saw Shi Xuan shaking off the white snow on his body at the street corner. It might have been due to heavy snow blocking the road. He hadn’t seen any outsiders for several days. They immediately gathered around and looked around laughing and pointing. Looking at Shi Xuan's black flag, if Shi Xuan looked back, he would immediately hide on both sides. As soon as he looked away, he would immediately surround him again.
Seeing these happy children, Shi Xuan's mood was also infected, and he wanted to go up and tease the little devils. The sound of firecrackers rang out at the other end of the street. The children became excited when they heard it: "Let's go watch the firecrackers!"
"Don't grab firecrackers from me!"
"Brother...Brother, wait a minute, Xiaoya."
Then they ran over in a swarm. Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, and asked for directions to several aunties chatting on the roadside: "Auntie, where is the inn in the town?"
Several aunts have noticed Shi Xuan for a long time. After all, he is the first foreigner to enter the town today. One of the aunts with a round face and big eyes and a very kind look pointed to the end of the street: "Nuo, go to the end of the street. You can see it.”
Shi Xuan expressed his gratitude. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the round-faced aunt, who was a little mysterious: "Young man, I see you are still rushing out in such heavy snow. There must be something urgent. I tell you. , go to the Chixia Shenjun Temple at the west end of the street to worship, and your wishes will definitely come true."
Shi Xuan thought to himself where this was going, and said to the aunt: "Auntie, look at my body and banners. I am an authentic Taoist priest. This Chixia Shenjun Temple is not from our Taoist sect, right?"
The faces of the aunts were a little ugly, and another aunt who looked very shrewd spoke first: "Oh, little Taoist priests, you Taoist priests are of no use at all. I have been going to Taoism for several years, and my wife has a child. They haven't even given birth yet. The temple of Chixia Shenjun was just built a few months ago. I only worshiped for a few days and my wife is pregnant. Little Taoist, don't be a Taoist priest. It would be great if you worship Chixia Shenjun. ”
"That's right, that's right."
"You Taoist priests who believe in crooked ways will go to **** after death! Only by believing in the Lord Chixia can you enjoy heaven after death!"
The aunties were chattering away. Shi Xuan was not interested in these beliefs and so on, so he turned a deaf ear and walked towards the end of the street.
"This **** little Taoist priest will definitely go to **** after death and be fried by the Chixia God!"
"I think he must have done a lot of bad things!"
…………
Shi Xuan suddenly remembered that he had heard of the Chixia Divine Lord in Xia'an City before. He heard it from the neighborhood gossip. He didn't expect that this Divine Lord now has so many believers? There is also a temple in this small town. This person is said to be very good at begging for children. Could it be that he is the Guanyin who gives birth to children in this world?
At the end of the street, the children gathered in front of a large house and watched the servants of that house setting off firecrackers. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, a group of children rushed up to pick up the firecrackers and play with them. , but was stopped by the ferocious servants. A man wearing a strange robe-like skirt and red clothes walked out of the door and shouted: "Please come to the throne~!"
Then a group of ten men standing at the door wearing the same clothes as him, but in light red, followed the leading man in red holding a wooden sign and walked into the door.
Shi Xuan didn't understand why, so he bypassed the crowd and walked to the inn on the other corner. When passing the crowd, I heard children complaining: "Really, I can't even pick up a firecracker."
"These people in red clothes are so fierce, and they come to my house to get money. My father said that he will not eat meat during the Chinese New Year tomorrow, and he must donate the money to some Shenjun Temple!" As he said, The child actually cried, "I want to eat meat."
"My family also donated a lot of things!"
"My family is the same, my family is too!"
"Hey, kiddos, don't talk nonsense." A middle-aged man who was watching heard these words and taught them a lesson, "This is to show your sincerity to the God. The God will bless your family with a good harvest in the coming year. You will go to heaven after you die! If you dare to talk nonsense, you will go to hell! Your hands and feet will be eaten by evil spirits..."
The children were a little scared after hearing this. They all made faces and scattered back home.
"These naughty little brats don't even look at this big house. Didn't they not believe in the Lord before? Now they are better. Several people in the family have been sick one after another. Hey, I don't know how much money it cost to invite the Lord's magic card in. ." The middle-aged man showed off to the people around him.
"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded in unison.
Shi Xuan became curious after hearing this. He looked at Zhang's Mansion with his Luck Qi Observation Technique. He saw a white air column mixed with a little black, and then a red air column rose up in the manor. The surface was solemn and sacred, but inside it was... There are some black spots, and at the same time, the entire Qi Pillar gives Shi Xuan the feeling of being extreme and stubborn, but the essence is not strong, at least not as good as Shi Xuan himself. As soon as he was rushed by the red air column, the black in the white air column disappeared completely.
Judging from the results of looking at the qi, this Chixia Shenjun does have some cultivation, but he doesn't know what the black spots inside are. After all, he is a "god". When such a situation occurs, Shi Xuan has no experience and knowledge, so he can't judge Not coming out.
Seeing that it was not an evil god, Shi Xuan turned around and walked into the inn.
On New Year's Day, in addition to the owner and his family, even the waiter in the inn went home to celebrate the New Year, but this was good, it was quiet and peaceful, and it was convenient for Shi Xuan to practice.
After a night of silence, Shi Xuan got up early in the morning. The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and the warm sunshine shone on him, giving him bursts of warmth.
Shi Xuan didn't plan to stay in this town for long. After breakfast, he was about to check out and leave. At this time, he heard bursts of crying coming from outside the inn. He followed the sound and saw a man whose clothes were washed white. The middle-aged man in cotton-padded clothes was struggling forward with a large package in his hands. His left leg was held by a woman in her thirties who was similarly dressed in simple clothes and was dragged forward by him.
"My child's father, we can't give it all to God. Our family still has to live a life, wuwuwu." The woman hugged her tightly and cried loudly. Next to the woman stood a little girl, who was also crying.
"Damn you, this is the time to show our sincerity! It can't be shown by saying goodbye at home every day!" The middle-aged man twitched his leg hard.
"You have given them all, and our whole family will starve to death!" "Dad, the second girl is hungry, wuwu."
"It's better to starve to death like this! How sincere! God will definitely let us go to heaven! It will be fine then!" The middle-aged man's face was filled with enthusiasm.
