Seeking the Dao in the Seemingly Mundane Mortal World

Chapter 107: Small town oddities

Views:

In the sound of firecrackers, one year old is removed, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tu Su.

Thousands of doors and thousands of households are in the dark, always exchanging new peaches for old symbols.

The spring rain is continuous, but the air in the town is not as fresh as after the rain. The sound of firecrackers is crackling everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke permeates the streets. There were children running around in the rain, picking up some dry firecrackers and trying to ignite them.

New Year's Eve...

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Qin Yi stood outside the town and watched the scene of the firecrackers from afar. Only then did he know that the terroir of Qianguo is similar to that of China, and there is also a Spring Festival.

I really miss it, and finally found a familiar thing in another world.

I don't know if there is such a festival custom in Nanli...

Even if there was, Li Qingjun probably didn't have time to celebrate the New Year at this time.

This is a small town in the territory of Qianguo. It is a small town, and it feels very lively, which is comparable to the county in Nanli. If it rains heavily in Nanli, no one will be seen on the street.

He came to this town because he heard on the way that there is a fairy mountain nearby. It is said that there are immortal ruins there, so there is a Taoist temple in the mountain. Fifty years old...

The number two hundred and five made Qin Yi want to complain, but "Immortal Relics" and "Longevity Law" made him very interested, so naturally he would come to look for one or two.

That's right, if there are immortals, there will naturally be Taoist temples. Don't talk about the view of Xianji Mountain, there is not even a tile on the mountain, no wonder there are not many people who believe it. But in fact, Xianji Mountain is the real fairy, right now, the proud and charming in the ring proves this.

The sky is already dusk, and the spring rain is in a hurry. Looking at the distant mountains, there is still some distance, blurred and indistinguishable in the rain. Qin Yi planned to stay in the town for one night first.

He was at the archway outside the town at the moment, looking at several notices posted on the street.

Among them, there is a hanging list, saying that the well in Wang Yuanwai's house is inexplicably dry, and there is no water in the stinky ditch behind the house. The hanging list hires experts who are proficient in well surveying and dredging, and must be paid heavily.

Qin Yi looked at it in a trance, and many things in the past flashed by in the blink of an eye.

At that time, everyone looked at the list and thought that the Zhangjiazhuang incident was most likely artificial, and finally went...

Right now on this list... The wells are inexplicably dry, and even the ditches have no water. A large family can't find out the normal factors, and will be tossed to the hanging list for help. It is really possible that there are monsters and ghosts.

At the foot of this so-called "fairy land", are demons at work? Qin Yi smiled.

If it was you, you would definitely be excited to see it.

Your portion, I did it for you.

The child picked up another firecracker, but put another squib in the rain. The child wiped his nose and threw the Squib away angrily.

"Hey, that's for sure."

A firecracker was handed to the front, and it seemed to be dry and usable. The child happily took it over and raised his eyes to see that it was a good-looking big brother, squinting with a smile, very kind. But in this cold spring weather, this eldest brother was only wearing a thin green shirt and looked cold for him.

The child didn't think too much, lit the firecrackers and threw them into the puddle next to him.

With a "bang", the muddy water splashed, and instead he blew himself up like a mud monkey.

Qin Yi laughed and said to himself, "Ye Ling must like it, I wonder if there are firecrackers there."

"Who is Ye Ling?" the disgraced child asked curiously.

"A kid as stupid as you are."

"I'm not stupid, I'll help my mother make soy sauce!" The child said unconvincingly, and then became curious again: "Big brother, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Little boy, which family is Wang Yuanwai's family in the town?"

"That's the proprietor of our house." The child whispered: "My mother said that the proprietor is too dark and stubborn on weekdays, so he was punished. Big brother, don't go..."

Qin Yi rubbed his head: "I said that I'm not a stupid child, can I say this to anyone? If your mother finds out, she won't kill you."

The so-called Wang Yuanwai is an old bureaucrat who has returned to his hometown. For the town, he is a first-class big man. He owns one-third of the land in the town, and most of the townspeople are either his father's laborer or his scumbag. Qin Yi stood at the door of Wang Yuanwai's house, looked at the vicious housekeeper, and shook his head slightly.

I'm afraid it's wrong.

It's been more than half a month on this journey. Originally, I wanted to slay demons and demons, but some strange things I saw along the way were often man-made. The demons were not cut, but there were many bullies. Now this king outside the family can probably be called a monster fighting a bully, a dog bites a dog

Then there's nothing to worry about...

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Liusu said, "Let's see, you haven't seen anything along the way. After all, there is something that might be peculiar that you have to look at, regardless of the other."

Qin Yi thought: "Why do I think you want to have fun?"

"Can't I have fun? What a boring journey."

"I really doubt how you got here in the mountains for tens of thousands of years now."

"Just because you've been in the mountains for a long time, can't you?"

"Okay..." Qin Yi had to step forward.

Jiading has noticed this guy for a long time, standing at the door is stupid and doesn't know what to do, sneaking. So he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Professional plumbing dredging, sewers, sewage pipes, telephones... um, I'm here to help you solve the well problem."

"Just you?" Jiading looked at Qin Yi suspiciously. He was dressed in a green shirt and had a handsome temperament. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a scribe who would do such a thing

I saw him sneakily and didn't drive him away before, just because he felt his temperament was extraordinary, unlike ordinary people. As a result, this guy is not only an ordinary person, but also a water well

Qin Yi said with a smile, "I won't charge you anyway if I can't do it. You don't care what I look like. If I'm already on the list, why don't you pick someone?"

The housekeeper went in suspiciously and complained. After a while, a frowning butler came out. He didn't ask any more questions, and said directly: "Since you're here to see the well, come with me quickly."

It seems that this was also tossed down by the problem of the well, and it is estimated that the owner was forced to throw it into the well...

Qin Yi followed behind and was about to enter the door, when suddenly someone came from outside, shouting all the way: "Qinghe Taoist priest is here!"

The butler was overjoyed and greeted him from afar: "If a Taoist priest casts a spell, the problem will be solved!"

Qin Yi turned his head to look. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, a middle-aged Taoist priest came slowly. He was wearing a gossip robe, with five willow long beards floating in front of his chest, holding a whisk, and a peach wood sword hanging diagonally on his back. Set off by the smoke of the firecrackers, he looked extraordinarily immortal.

It's really a bit of a practice... First floor of Feng Chu? Or the second floor

Not bad, it was the first Taoist priest Qin Yi had seen since he traveled north. It seems that Xianshan might really have some kind of way.

If it is simple and demonic, as long as a Taoist priest on the first and second floors of Fengchu has a little bit of real art, it is indeed enough.

It's just that even after the housekeeper and his family were all around the Taoist priest, he found himself standing by the door alone, and no one paid any attention...

Qin Yi burst into laughter, and followed the crowd in silently.

Ding Qi, the gatekeeper, said: "Qing and Taoist priests are here, why are you a scribe going in?"

"The Taoist master does his own way, and I'm in charge of me, so why don't you all... If you have a beautiful lady in your family, you might as well get acquainted..."

Qin Yi responded casually, but suddenly there was a warning sign in his heart, as if he was being watched.

Quickly turning his head to look, there was a round figure in yellow clothes on the corner of the street, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.
