Taiping Inn

There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and I don’t know the year after the cold is over.

Accompanied by Li Xuandu, Su Xi finally left the Demon Locking Tower. After seeing the sky again, she found that she was not as happy as she imagined, and was more confused. Dayou drew his sword and looked around at the heart of being confused and not knowing where the road was. Feel.

She stood outside the Demon Locking Tower and stared at the pagoda that had imprisoned her for more than a hundred years, speechless for a long time.

Li Xuandu stood beside Su Xi and asked, "What are you thinking about, Madam?"

Su Xi pointed at the Demon Locking Tower and said, "When I was detained here, this pagoda was not as broken as it is today. It's really a change of things."

Li Xuandu said: "Maybe in another hundred years, the cave heaven inside will begin to break and disappear. This is due to the times. There are no demons in the world. What's the use of this demon-suppressing tower? However, the demons have never stopped, from the Great True Man's Mansion. The Demon-Suppressing Well is still as strong as it used to be.”

Su Qi sighed, "I think it's a matter of things and people change when coming to Qingqiu Cave."

Li Xuan didn't say much.

Su Xi calmed down and asked, "We're leaving for Qizhou now?"

Li Xuandu said, "Go on my boat."

Su Xi was stunned, and then he saw a snow-white building boat falling from the sky, hovering above the heads of the two.

Su Xi looked at the tower ship, and even if she was in the realm of immortality, she was shocked.

Su Xi asked, "Is this also what the respectful teacher left to Mr. Li?"

"Yes." Li Xuandu nodded.

Su Xi withdrew her gaze and sighed, "In the eyes of mortals, how is this different from the immortals?"

Li Xuan smiled and said nothing, his figure was floating up, and Su Xi followed closely behind, and the two flew to the deck of the Bailong Tower ship together. The Bailong Tower ship then rose up on its own, flew above the clouds, and then headed towards Qizhou.

Li Xuandu invited Su Xi to the living room on the first floor of the building boat and said apologetically, "When my family master was young, he liked quiet but not moving. The building boat was unstoppable for a long time. I just took over and didn't prepare tea. I also want to forgive my wife."

Su Xi shook his head: "It's okay, the young master doesn't have to pay attention to these false rituals."

The two of them sat down separately, and Li Xuandu turned to ask, "I wonder what the situation is in the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan?"

Su Xi pondered for a moment and said, "The fox clan is human, but it is actually not much different from humans. The fox clan in Qingqiu Mountain is divided into two major clans, which is easy to distinguish. It depends on the color. One is the red fox and the other is the white fox. .”

Li Xuandu said, "Mrs. I am from the White Fox clan."

Su Xi said "Yes" and continued, "The same monsters are different. Some monsters have ordinary cultivation and can transform into human form. Our fox tribe is here, and some monsters, especially The genus of the divine beast can only be barely transformed after entering the realm of immortality. It is not thorough and will leave many characteristics. For example, the transformation of the dragon will leave dragon horns or scales, and the existence of human body and beast heads is due to its blood vessels. Because it's too strong."

Li Xuan deeply agrees with this. The one who impressed him the most was Lu Wushen. Even if he turned into a human form, it was difficult to hide the terrifying aura on his body. On the other hand, Su Xi and Li Xuan could hardly detect the so-called demonic aura from her. , no different from others.

Su Xi continued, "After the fox tribe transformed, it imitated humans everywhere. The first thing is to give itself a surname, so the Red Fox tribe took the homonym of the fox tribe, the surname Hu, and our White Fox tribe was born.

An extremely powerful ancestor followed his ancestor's surname Su. Over the years, the changes in the Qingqiu Cave Heaven have been the conflict between the Su and Hu tribes. ”

Li Xuandu said: "When the wife took away the 'Qingyunzhu', the Su family must be criticized by the Hu family, so the wife insisted on returning the 'Qingyunzhu' to the Qingqiu Cave Heaven."

Su Xiao nodded.

Li Xuandu said: "Today is the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still four days before the Little New Year, so time should be enough."

Su Xi said, "Little New Year is the day when the True Lord Siming ascends to heaven. Mr. Li is letting me and True Lord Siming ascend to heaven together."

The True Lord of Siming is the Kitchen Lord mentioned by the people. Their full title is "Nine Heavens Dong Chu Siming Taiyi Yuanhuang Dingfu Zu Shan Tianzun", commonly known as "Kaoshijun", or "Kaoshijun Gong" and "Siming Zhenzun" Luanmen respects it as one of the three benevolent masters, that is, the head of the family, and he is in charge of all the big and small things in the family. The Kitchen God serves the two gods, one handful of "good jar" and the other handful of "evil jar". The family's behavior records will be kept in the jar at any time, and then the total will be reported to the Emperor of Heaven after the end of the year. The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day when the Kitchen God left the earth. God reported to the Emperor of Heaven what his family had done over the past year, and returned to the earth on the fourth day of the day.

Of course, True Lord Siming will not ascend to the heavenly Emperor. The so-called ascension to heaven should be the incarnation of True Lord Siming returning to the Kingdom of God, carrying the power of incense and vows to return to the deity, and then returning to the world. In other words, Siming Zhenjun is a god. Judging from the extent to which the Kitchen God is worshipped by the people, this god should not have died, and its power must be above Zhang Luxu, but it will not interfere in the human world. It is true that the world is divided and combined, what does it have to do with me? The true Supreme Lost and God-like mentality.

In addition, there should be some gods who stay in the world but cannot appear in the world. For example, the often-called Emperor Hudi, even the emperor's honor must worship and worship in the second altar of heaven and earth, and naturally it will not die. Moreover, these two priests are also very powerful, and they control life and death respectively. After all, after a person dies, the soul returns to heaven, the soul returns to earth, and the loess even bury the corpse.

However, some Taoist scriptures believe that the Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven. After the Emperor of Heaven ascended, the Emperor of Heaven no longer exists in the world, and only the Empress Houtu is left, so the Empress Houtu is the Emperor of Heaven who holds yin and yang alone and controls the underworld. Although the Buddhist Ksitigarbha King was powerful, he was not recognized by the court and Confucians, but he could not replace Empress Houtu like the Great Sun Tathagata replaced the Sun True Lord.

Queen Houtu is a righteous god, and she has infinite power. However, the more righteous god, the more she is, the more she cannot interfere with the human world. Just like the deceased Taishang Taoist ancestor and the Emperor of Heaven, she can only watch coldly.

Li Xuan did not deny Su Xi's statement: "This is auspicious day."

Su Xi never refused and recognized Li Xuandu's proposal.

For her, except for the obsession with returning the "Qingqiu Pearl" to the Qingqiu Cave Heaven, there is no nostalgia in the world.

The White Dragon Tower boat flew slowly over the sea of ​​clouds, and saw a golden light. Su Xi came to the window and looked out at the sea of ​​clouds, saying nothing for a long time.

According to Taoist classics, Qingqiu Mountain is located at an unknown place 300 miles east of Jishan. Jishan was originally named "Jishan". "Ji" was originally a star constellation. The mountain was only a mound, and the starlight clouds were above it. Later, there was a fairy living in seclusion here. She tasted breathing and blew dust into a hole, and sat cross-legged in the middle of the sun, revealing golden light on her head. If someone has a disease, he will listen to his simple conversation and he will be seriously ill and lose his mind. If you touch the technique, just breathe and refine it. Although there are mantras, in fact, quietness can lead to enlightenment, and there is no other cleverness. I don't know where to end later.

Jishan is located in Ande Prefecture, Qizhou

Within the county, it borders Linyi County. Ande Prefecture and the prefectures and counties in Zhili are bordered by the long river to the south and face Beihai Prefecture, more than 800 miles away from the Imperial Capital City. Li Xuan was going to Beihai Prefecture, so he had the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to settle the matter.

The Bailong Tower ship quickly left Shuzhou, entered Jingzhou, then passed Zhongzhou, and finally entered Qizhou.

Li Xuan is both an orphan. He doesn't know who his parents are born, nor where his hometown is, so the Li family is his roots, and Qizhou is his hometown. When he goes home, his mood is different, and it is not about returning home in glory. , but there is a kind of thought that only the elderly will have the idea of ​​falling leaves returning to their roots. It can be seen that Li Xuandu is indeed old and his heart is old. No wonder ordinary people say that he is old and old.

At this moment, Su Xi suddenly said, "Young Master Li, please stop the ship, we will go down here."

To go to Qingqiu Cave Heaven, Su Xi must be the main one, so Li Xuandu had no objection. He stopped the White Dragon Tower Boat and made it hide in the white clouds. Then he and Su Xi jumped down from the deck. It was like a banished immortal who came down from heaven and earth, falling to the earth.

With the cultivation level of the two of them, naturally no one noticed them. After landing, Su Xi used illusion to cover up his celestial posture and turned into an ordinary young woman with an ordinary appearance, with an ordinary face, and then looked at Li Xuandu and asked, "If it were Li The young master doesn’t bother you, so why don’t we pretend to be an ordinary couple for the time being?”

Although Li Xuandu didn't know what Su Xi was planning, he still nodded.

Su Xi pointed at Li Xuandu, and Li Xuandu also changed accordingly. In addition to his appearance, the "Yinyang Immortal Clothes" turned into a blue Confucian shirt with a cotton coat inside, which looked a bit bloated and no longer had a wide robe. The elegant and elegant sleeves show that Li Xuan has both scholars and fame, and whether they wear swords or swords. According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, scholars can travel with swords and do not need to lead the way, and there is no need to pay li gold to pass through the Li Pass.

This is also one of the privileges of gentry that Qin Qing and Li Xuan were committed to abolishing. It is not that the father-in-law and son-in-law uphold the idea of ​​equality for everyone, but that the privilege of gentry not having to pay various taxes will seriously affect the local government and the court. For fiscal revenue, some merchants would rather spend money to ask scholars to come forward than pay lichen, just to save some money. As a result, income will become less and less, and the finances will inevitably be deficit. Therefore, such privileges must be abolished. Even if scholars are properly subsidized afterwards, taxes must be paid together to block this gap.

Li Xuan didn't expect that he could experience the privileges of gentry once today.

Su Xi grabbed a rabbit and gently wrapped it around the rabbit's mouth with a small piece of dry vine. Then he grabbed the long ear with his right hand and gently rubbed the rabbit's body with his left hand. After a moment, he pushed the rabbit to the ground. Throw it and said, "Change."

The rabbit rolled on the ground and turned into a black donkey wearing a bridle and reins. Although such changes are not as good as the "fake to the truth" of the gods, they are not far away. Although the earth immortal has the ability to call the wind and rain, they do not have such small means. This is the ability of the ghost immortal.

Su Xi sat on the donkey because she was wearing a skirt, but she couldn't ride a donkey with her legs spread apart. She could only sit sideways and asked someone to lead the donkey.

Li Xuandu took the initiative to take the reins of the black donkey and asked, "Madam, where are we going?"

Su Xi reached out and pointed ahead: "There is a county town not far away, let's go to the city first."

Li Xuan was leading the donkey in front, as if an ordinary couple was rushing on the way.
