We went to the Black Dog Xiazhuang this time. Before we came, Xu Xuanhang had already contacted the goddess by phone. One was a first-class character from the Earth Immortal, and the other was a master of the witch sect who was highly regarded by Xu Xuanhang. A little disappointed, I thought they might use some kind of advanced technique to get in touch.
In fact, the development of Black Dog Xiazhuang is similar to that of Baimao Liuzhuang, and the gap between the rich and the poor between the two villages is not large.
When I arrived in this village, it was already dark. The old goddess lived in the westernmost part of the village, next to the root of the mountain. She was considered a celebrity of this generation. This was mainly due to her great god who danced with her hands. Listen to Xu Xuanhang. Said that the goddess was almost ninety years old.
At such a young age, can she still dance
When I asked what family members this old lady had, Xu Xuanhang said: "I had it before, but now I don't. She originally had a son, she married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to her grandson, but at the age of twenty He disappeared in a shipwreck many years ago, and no body has been found yet, I am afraid he is already dead."
Shipwreck? I wanted to ask about the details and the location. Xu Xuanhang said the word "Yangtze River" and then changed the subject and said, "Although she is a very good-looking person, this is after all a scar of someone else's family. After a while, she will arrive at her house. , don't ask, don't ask, just listen to me with peace of mind."
I nodded and said nothing.
When the car arrived at the west end of Xiazhuang Village, Ah Wu found an open space and stopped, and we got out of the car one after another and followed Xu Xuanhang to the house of the goddess.
Along the way, Xu Xuanhang gave us a brief introduction to the goddess.
Her name is Jin Xiaoying, and Xu Xuanhang said that apart from making a wish with him, Zixue and the white fox, Awu and I will call her Granny Jin.
Only then did I realize that I was the youngest of our group.
Soon we came to an old stone house. The door of the house was two black lacquered doors. The doors were tightly closed. There were two door piers on the left and right sides of the door frame. The paint had come off, revealing the yellowed wood inside.
It must be because of the frequent sitting of people.
This thing, the door pier, was at the gate of the old house of the villagers when I was a child, and almost every household had it, but with the changes of the times, the gate pier at the entrance of the new house has disappeared.
There are two portraits of door gods on the door, but because of the long time, the original red paper has begun to turn light red, and even a little white.
And this yard is also surrounded by several old stone houses.
It's just that these houses don't seem to have such a strong yang energy, and they don't look like houses for people to live in at all. This is probably related to the age of that grandmother Jin.
Xu Xuanhang knocked on the door a few times and said, "Girl Jin, I'm here."
girl!
Well, since Xu Xuanhang is called the strongest Taoist priest in the past 100 years, he must be in his 100s. It is not too much to call the 90-year-old Granny Jin, but it still sounds awkward to us.
Xu Xuanhang knocked on the door a few times, and I suddenly smelled a faint scent of incense, and then I saw a wisp of blue smoke drifting out from the crack of the door, and then I heard the sound of the latch opening "click" inside,
Then the black lacquered door opened on its own with a "creak".
I was amazed and surprised when I saw this scene. The ability to control incense is also first-class and strong.
Xu Xuanhang said with a smile, "Girl Jin, it seems that your skills have improved a lot."
We entered the gate, walked along the aisle, and found that there was a pile of coal on one side of the aisle, and a few tattered vitex frames, lying in the middle of the aisle, it looked very messy, as if This house has long been inhabited by people.
These things blocked our way, so I was about to bend over to pick them up, but before I could reach out, the light smoke floating in the air quickly entangled the baskets, and in a moment those baskets were neatly thrown into the coals pile on.
I couldn't help but be amazed again, this Granny Jin's technique is similar to my wind control technique, but her skills are much stronger than mine. My wind control technique can only move the talisman, while Granny Jin can open the door, move thing.
Xu Xuanhang didn't think much of it, he walked inside on his own, and I quickly followed in his footsteps. When I entered the yard, I saw three large houses and one small house. There was a chimney on the house. It's the kitchen of Grandma Jin's house.
Among the three large rooms, there was a light on in one, but the light was very dim. The door of the room was open, so Xu Xuanhang led us directly into the room.
The display of the room is even simpler. There is a table, two chairs, black cabinets, and a Tukang. On the Tukang sits an old lady in a black padded jacket. She has short hair and a lot of folds on her face. However, there was a radiance in her face, and more importantly, she looked very kind.
When we went in, she was cooking a fire on the edge of the kang, and she was holding a hot yam (sweet potato) in her hand. When she saw us, she didn't say hello, she just took a bite, and I Seeing that her teeth are very good, and there is no missing tooth in her mouth, could it be dentures
Maybe it was because the yam was a little hot, and she sighed while eating it, as if those of us didn't exist at all.
Seeing this scene, Xu Xuanhang was not angry. Instead, he moved a chair and sat down beside the stove and said, "Girl Jin, here we are."
Jin Xiaoying looked at Xu Xuanhang and said, "I saw it, let's talk about it, what's the matter with you coming to me this time, but I'm a little flattered that you have such a great ability to come and beg me."
Jin Xiaoying spoke to Xu Xuanhang in such a tone, but Xu Xuanhang had no temper at all, and there was even some kindness in his eyes, he took out the Sen Luowu drum from his backpack and handed it to Jin Xiaoying and said, "I am for this witch drum. Come, I already told you on the phone."
Jin Xiaoying looked at the Senluo Wugu for a few moments and said, "I can't repair this drum, although I am stronger in witchcraft than you, but I am not strong enough to repair what you can't repair, tell me, are you? Still thinking about this white cat fairy and want to take its fairy body away?"
Take away too? Why did Jin Xiaoying use one word? Could it be that Xu Xuanhang had taken something from Jin Xiaoying
It is possible, perhaps because of something like that, Xu Xuanhang felt indebted to Jin Xiaoying, so he indulged Jin Xiaoying's attitude towards him.
But at this moment, I have no right to speak, so I can only watch quietly.
Hearing what Jin Xiaoying said, Xu Xuanhang also smiled and said, "Girl Jin, we encountered something on the way here. There is a litter of wild cats living in the white cat fairy's temple."
Jin Xiaoying snorted and said, "What's so strange about this, it's not like there are wild cats living near the temple once or twice, don't change the topic, I ask your purpose, if you are for the white cat fairy. If you come from the body, then I can only send you two words 'delusional'."
Xu Xuanhang was not angry, but continued to laugh and said: "My apprentice found that litter of wild cats. He was shocked when he saw it. Do you want to know why he was frightened? If he wants, I will let him give it to him. You talk."
After Xu Xuanhang finished speaking, he pointed at me, and I also took a step up and bowed to Jin Xiaoying and said, "Mr. Jin."
Jin Xiaoying looked up, then continued to lower her head and said while peeling the yam skin: "Xu Xuanhang, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for decades, you actually accepted a second apprentice other than Stupid Fox, and he was still alone, it's a pity that he is A short-lived ghost, with a strong vision, I am afraid that he will not live for five years. You are really strange. Others choose to be talented and smart, but what about you? The first apprentice is a stupid and stupid one. Stupid fox; the second apprentice is a short-lived ghost with mediocre qualifications, is it possible that you and your eldest apprentice have been together for a long time, and you are also infected with stupidity and stupidity?"
When Jin Xiaoying said this, I felt that Xu Xuanhang was going to be angry, but he still smiled and said, "I swore to you/grandma that I would not be angry with you or do anything to hurt you, so no matter what you No matter how you say it, I will not care about you. As for the two apprentices I accepted, they are exactly as you said, but only in this way will it be challenging. Believe it or not, within three years, my short-lived ghost apprentice will become this kind of apprentice. The youngest Celestial Master in China."
three years
My goal is five years, and as long as five years come, I will be satisfied.
After listening to Xu Xuanhang's words, I was a little bit at a loss as to what the hell Xu Xuanhang was trying to do, was it simply used to "bluff" Jin Xiaoying? No, he was serious, and I suddenly realized something in my heart. Xu Xuanhang's self-esteem may have been stimulated by some of Jin Xiaoying's words. He was pranking with Jin Xiaoying. May make me take some extraordinary measures to practice Taoism.
Would it be the same as wishing to let me eat all that mess, like that baby-faced cat…
Imagine the tumult in my stomach.
When I was thinking about it, Jin Xiaoying smiled and said to Xu Xuanhang: "The youngest Tianshi should be that Chen Kunxi, but he was over thirty years old when he became a Tianshi, and yours is about the same age as a Tianshi. He is forty years old, but your apprentice is only in his early twenties this year, how old will he be in three years, Xu Xuanhang, how credible do you think you are?"
Xu Xuanhang looked at Jin Xiaoying and smiled again and said, "I have traveled all over the world in these years, but I have collected a lot of magical powers and treasures. As long as I am willing to teach, that kid is willing to study hard. In three years, it is not difficult for him to become a celestial master. , Jin girl, why don't we make a bet, if this kid can break through the Celestial Master within three years, if you are not dead, you will teach him all your magical powers, and accept her as your successor, This will also save you from losing your skills."
Jin Xiaoying was stunned for a while and then said: "Haha, good you Xu Xuanhang, you are still thinking about my ability, you have great supernatural powers, will you like my ability?"
Xu Xuanhang rubbed his hands together and took a deep breath. "The ancient gods are not only good at Taoism. To know more about the ancient gods, you must be proficient in witchcraft."
It seems that Xu Xuanhang really came for the magic power of Granny Jin! Is my master a good person or a bad person
