On the way to Anhui this time, Xu Xuanhang did not make a detour, but went all the way south to Shouchun County.
On the way, I was also for Xu Xuanhang's main purpose of our trip. He didn't answer me directly, but instead asked me if I knew what "Sidu" was.
I really know some of this, but it was all mentioned when I heard Master Liu tell some stories about his travels around the country to hunt down ghosts. The god of water; the god of the Yangtze River in the south; the god of the Yellow River in the west; the god of the Huai River in the east.
It's just that later, the feudal courts of the past dynasties repeatedly gave Sidu new titles, dukes and kings.
I told Xu Xuanhang what I knew, and when he heard my description, he smiled and nodded and said, "It seems that you still know some fur, so have you heard the story of Huainan King Liu An becoming immortal?"
I quickly nodded. I have heard this story too. King Liu An of Huainan respected Taoism. He had eight Taoist priests who were proficient in various suspense techniques. You, Mao quilt, Lei quilt, Wu quilt, Jinchang.
These eight people helped Liu An, the king of Huainan, to compile "Huainanzi", and Huainanzi is a book about immortal Huangbaishu.
Of course, the reason why I know so much is that it comes from a well-known little fairy tale, that is, "One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to the sky." The chicken and dog licked/licked the golden vessel containing the residue of possession elixir, and flew into the fairyland.
Of course, I personally think that this story has a lot of water in it. Cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal is by no means easy.
After I told what I knew and thought, Xu Xuanhang gave me a rare slap, which made me a little embarrassed, but soon I thought of Xu Xuanhang asking about Sidu and Huainanzi respectively. Could it be that there is some connection between the two
So without waiting for Xu Xuanhang to speak, I asked: "Master, this time we are going to Shouchun, which is by the Huaihe River. If the Huaihe River is said to be the God of Dongdu Dahuai, is it possible that Huainan Zi Chengxian has a relationship with the God of Dahuai? relation?"
Xu Xuanhang didn't answer my question, but looked at the scenery outside the car window and said, "Winter will be over in more than a month, and when spring is over, you will be with me for almost half a year. How's your law study going?"
I didn't understand why Xu Xuanhang suddenly asked these questions, so I said, "Almost all of them can be used proficiently."
Xu Xuanhang said "Oh": "Almost, that is, there are still some things that you can't master. You have to work hard, unless you don't want to learn the great magical power I gave you in half a year."
I hurriedly said, "Master, rest assured, the disciple will continue to practice diligently, and master will not be disappointed."
I worship Xu Xuanhang as my teacher, just to learn great skills. Before learning great skills, I am willing to learn any small Taoist skills.
Seeing that the topic was split by Xu Xuanhang, the energy in my heart was still a little hard to come by, so I asked Xu Xuanhang again: "Master, tell me, is there any connection between the King of Huainan and the God of Dongdu? We are going there this time. Does it have anything to do with them?"
Xu Xuanhang said with a smile: "I don't know if King Huainan has anything to do with the God of Dongbu, but the case we took this time has something to do with King Huainan. It's just a side."
case? It turns out that when we left Zhengzhou, Xu Xuanhang had already taken over the case here. When did it happen, how could I not know
Seeing my questioning face, Xu Xuanhang said, "It's a big boss here. I showed his family Feng Shui before, and he benefited from it. Now one of his friends ran into some trouble, so he introduced him to me. When you were recovering a few days ago, I received a call from that person, and after a few days, we will come over when you are healed."
Since this matter can be delayed, it means that it should not be a major matter of human life.
When I asked Xu Xuanhang what was the matter, he said, "It's the big boss' friend's yard that has a problem, and it can't live there anymore. Let's go to Shouchun for a few days and wait for the boss's friend. The family has come from Beijing, you can help him see what's going on in that house."
I asked Xu Xuanhang curiously, "Master, am I alone?"
Xu Xuanhang nodded and said, "Yes, haven't you learned all the skills of the six-phase evil talisman? You can't handle this little trouble."
Little trouble, I still don't know what's going on, Xu Xuanhang told me about little trouble
I continued to ask him if he could give me some news, and if he would attract some ancient monsters like the previous few times. In that case, I can't handle it.
Hearing my question, Xu Xuanhang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I dare to teach you a person about this matter, which means it's really not a big deal."
I asked him in return, "What happened to Huandou last time, didn't you take me to bet, and let me bring a burden..."
Before I could finish speaking, Xu Xuanhang slapped me on the head and said angrily, "It's not for your own good, you don't know what to do now, do you want to give me the magical power of the Six Elements Shafu for the teacher? Abandoned?"
I hurriedly shook my head, I paid my life for this skill, and Song Jiaqi and I almost stayed in that dream forever.
I didn't ask any more questions along the way, but Xu Xuanhang said again: "Every time we go to a place, you know enough about that place, it's always good, we're going to Shouchun this time, it won't be far north. It is Bagong Mountain, where Liu An, King of Huainan, and his eight Taoist priests cultivated elixir and ascended to immortals."
I asked Xu Xuanhang if he was here to investigate the details of the Huainan King becoming immortal, and he shook his head and said, "I have already investigated this matter several decades ago, so I don't need to investigate it anymore, the reason why I am with you Speaking of this, I hope you know that in Taoism, in addition to Taoism and Talismans, the techniques of alchemy and medicine are also extremely powerful."
I nodded and didn't speak. As for alchemy, I had contact with the alchemy room and the alchemy furnace once in Qianlingguan, and after that, I hardly had anything to do with alchemy or medicine.
I heard Master Liu say that the techniques of alchemy and medicine were very popular in ancient times, but the precious medicinal materials needed for alchemy can take hundreds of years, even thousands of years. As for the later cultivators who had no medicine to practice, this technique of alchemy and medicine also went into decline.
Xu Xuanhang mentioned alchemy. Could it be that the case I dealt with this time has something to do with alchemy and medicine
Xu Xuanhang didn't tell me too many things. We also came to Shouchun County slowly after leaving Zhengzhou for about half a month.
Shouchun is a famous historical and cultural city. You can see antique buildings everywhere. Walking on some streets, I can't help but have a feeling of returning to the ancient times.
The place we stayed this time was not a hotel, but a jade shop. The main front of the jade shop is a two-story building, with two courtyards and a back garden with a rockery and a small lake. The architectural style is the standard garden scenery of the Jianghuai generation.
The plaque at the entrance of the jade shop has four big characters "Cangqiong Jade Pavilion". As soon as you enter the door, the counter is full of jade accessories. At this time, A Wu went to find a place to park, and as soon as the rest of us entered the jade shop, one of them was wearing a cheongsam. The graceful female clerk came over and said to Xu Xuanhang, "Master, I'm sorry, we can't bring dogs in our store."
Naturally, she was talking about making a wish with the white fox behind Xu Xuanhang.
Xu Xuanhang looked back at the white fox and said, "Is there something wrong with your eyes, this old man is a fox, where is the dog?"
I couldn't help covering my mouth beside me and started laughing at the wish.
When the waitress was yelled at by Xu Xuanhang, she looked a little aggrieved and said, "Master, foxes can't do it either. We can't bring pets in here..."
Xu Xuanhang was dressed strangely and led a fox, so our group had enough to turn heads. At this time, many people gathered around the door of the jade shop to watch the fun, and of course there were some tourists who came to Shouchun County to play. .
When Xu Xuanhang was talking to the clerk, a middle-aged woman wearing a gold-trimmed cheongsam walked over. There was a small sign on her heart with the words "shop manager" written on it. She was obviously the person in charge here.
When she saw Xu Xuanhang, she pushed the female clerk away and asked Xu Xuanhang, "Master, is your surname Xu?"
Xu Xuanhang nodded, and the store manager immediately led Xu Xuanhang and us to the inner hall with a respectful smile.
After entering the inner hall, then entering the back door, and then entering the courtyard, the store manager said to Xu Xuanhang: "Master Xu, our boss has instructed him that he saw a fox with a surname. Master Xu, just live in the wing room in this courtyard. There are many vacant seats here. Master Xu, there are many vacant rooms here. Also eat at the store."
After speaking, the store manager said again: "By the way, there are three dormitories over there, and a few cannot live in them."
When I heard this, I whispered: "You work, eat and control, it's not bad."
The store manager smiled and said, "It's our boss who is good."
After we were arranged, the store manager went back to the jade store to continue working. I asked Xu Xuanhang if the owner of the jade store was the one he had helped, and Xu Xuanhang nodded and said, "Yes, but I have been with him for more than ten years. I haven't seen you in years, he still remembers me, it's rare to have this kind of heart, it's rare that I didn't point him in vain at the beginning."
After living here, Xu Xuanhang and the white fox couldn't get out of the house. Zixue couldn't be free, so they came to me and told me to take her to the streets. / The legs are also suffocating. Zixue said this, and I agreed. Anyway, this Shouchun county is not big, and you can see the surrounding moat after walking for a while.
The cultural atmosphere here is so strong, I am somewhat looking forward to the case I will face this time.
