Chapter 356: Frightened Taoist Lanli(1/2)
Baishi Town.
This is an ordinary small town. There are hundreds of households in the town, with a total population of more than a thousand. The business is prosperous and the traffic is busy.
It is now the ninth year of Tianbao's reign in the Tang Dynasty. It is a time of peace and prosperity. Even in small towns like this, every family is well-off and living a very prosperous life.
Inside a courtyard.
The little girl served a middle-aged man a cup of tea and said while holding back tears: "Uncle Jiao, I believe that brother Jiao Fei will come back safely."
The person sitting in that seat was an ordinary middle-aged man from a small town. He smiled bitterly and touched the little girl's head. Then he looked at the woman in the opposite seat and said, "Half a year has passed, and the newspaper official has also
I have reported it, and I have searched when it is time. My mother and I are now mentally prepared for some bad news. The main reason we came here this time is to tell my brother and sister about the marriage between my child and your Xiaolian.
Let's forget it, luckily it hasn't become a name yet, otherwise it would really be a delay for your family, Xiaolian."
The woman of the Lin family sighed inwardly, looking at the eldest brother of the Jiao family, she couldn't bear it. However, she also knew that this was a good thing for her family, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Previously, even the teachers at the academy said that the Jiao family's Jiao Fei child was smart and intelligent, and that he would definitely be able to get a good name in the exams in the future. The neighbors in the town also liked the child very much, knowing that he had a bright future.
Therefore, marrying the Jiao family is something that a merchant family like the Lin family would be happy to do.
But who would have expected that something like this would happen, that a living person would disappear from home in one night.
Half a year has passed. For such a long time, everyone in the town has speculated that something unexpected must have happened.
So, this marriage is over.
The middle-aged man surnamed Jiao was a little apologetic and said: "I still feel a little sorry. In the past six months, his mother and I have been looking for the child in the surrounding counties and counties. We forgot to tell you, my brother and sister, so I tell you now."
It's too late, and it has delayed Xiaolian for half a year. My brothers and sisters can rest assured that Mr. Jiao is popular around the state and county, and he will definitely be able to find a good family for Xiaolian."
Although Mother Lin was comforted when she heard this, she also felt a little relieved.
The Jiao family had a very good relationship with them. Even though something like this happened to the Jiao family, they knew that the marriage would definitely go wrong.
But there was no way they could just come to the stall to arrange the marriage when their son had gone missing not long ago.
We are all neighbors, and they cannot do things that add insult to injury or add salt to the wound.
Now that it's better, the Jiao family has come to take the initiative to resign from the agreed-upon marriage, so they don't have to feel any psychological burden and can rest assured to find another family for their daughter.
But, at this moment.
The beautiful little girl, with red eyes, said: "No, Uncle Jiao, brother Jiao Fei will be fine at all. No one has been found, how can we say he won't come back? Although Xiaolian is not as good as brother Jiao Fei
I have read books like that, but I also know the orders of my parents and the words of matchmakers. As long as there is no definite news from brother Jiao Fei that he is dead, I..."
"I, Lin Xiaolian, have been waiting for him."
"This... child, you..." Jiao Fei's father's eyes filled with tears and he was deeply moved.
Mother Lin looked at her daughter with a troubled face. She knew that her daughter really liked the Jiao family child.
But there's no point in waiting for someone who hasn't been heard from for half a year.
Then Jiao Fei might have already...
The father of the Jiao family also knew the seriousness. Although he was moved, he could not let the little girl delay for his child.
He continued to help Mother Lin persuade Lin Xiaolian.
Unexpectedly, although Lin Xiaolian is still young, she is stubborn and always says she must wait.
In the end, Jiao Fei's father and Lin's mother shook their heads and sighed, but did not persuade them any more.
Anyway, Lin Xiaolian is only fourteen years old now. She is still young and still has a little girl spirit. Maybe when she turns eighteen or nineteen, she will naturally forget about Jiao Fei.
Later, Jiao Fei's father left two kilograms of pork and one kilogram of rice wine and walked out of Lin's house.
On the bluestone path in the town.
Jiao Fei's father saw a man passing by holding a little girl, and heard the girl calling the man "daddy". The father and daughter were harmonious.
He thought of his son again, and couldn't help but be moved by the scene, and burst into tears. He just lay there dead on the street, sobbing continuously and bursting into tears.
…
"Dad, why is that uncle crying?"
At the end of the town, on the bluestone road.
Zhou Xi'er pulled Zhou Yi's sleeves, raised her head and asked.
Zhou Yi replied softly: "His son left home for half a year and there was no news, so he thought his son was dead, so he was very sad."
Zhou Xier asked curiously: "Then is his son really dead?"
Zhou Yi said: "No, his son is alive and well now, and he has the fate of cultivating immortality."
Zhou Xi'er suddenly broke away from Zhou Yi's hand, and ran towards that direction with her little legs. She turned around and said to Zhou Yi: "Then I'm going to tell that uncle that his son is still alive, so he shouldn't be sad."
Zhou Yi looked back at his daughter and ran to Jiao Fei's father and said, "My father said your son is still alive."
Jiao Fei's father wiped away his tears, looked back at Zhou Yi, expressed his kindness and gratitude, then touched the little girl's hair and said something in reply.
He thought that his ugly behavior had been discovered by the parents, and asked the little girl to comfort her.
Although Zhou Xi'er's tone was childish, she said seriously: "Uncle, dad will never lie to me. Your son is really alive."
Father Jiao was very grateful, but he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Said a few more words.
The little girl nodded her head and suddenly said loudly: "Uncle, just wait at home. My father is very powerful. I will definitely let him bring your son back to you."
After finishing speaking, the little girl ran towards Zhou Yi holding the windmill, "Dad, you know where his son is, right?"
Zhou Yi looked at his daughter's bright eyes and nodded slowly, "I know."
Zhou Xier giggled and said, "Then let's go find him."
At the end of the street, Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Okay, since it was Xi'er who said it, then daddy will take you to find him."
He naturally knew where Jiao Fei was at this time.
For half a year, he should have been following Taoist Lan Li near Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
It just so happened that what Zhou Yi was looking for was Taoist Lanli, so he complied with his daughter's small request.
………………
In the ninth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was in its prime.
However, this prosperous lord of the Tang Dynasty was already in his twilight years and his life was approaching.
Just when Emperor Li Tang was about to die, for some unknown reason, someone happened to get the treasure of Taoist Chunjun, one of the ten ancestors of the ancient Taoist sect, the Chunjun Immortal Pot, and dedicated it to the emperor.
As the emperor of the human world, the Emperor of Tang naturally knew that there were many strange people and strange things in the world, and there were even more Taoist people who could live forever.
After getting this pure Jun fairy pot.
Then the news spread that hundreds of Buddhist and Taoist people from all over the world came to participate in the water and land ceremony in the capital, and wanted to invite one or two experts among them to use the Pure Pure Immortal Pot to extend his life.
It is said to be a water and land Dharma gathering, inviting all the wise people from all over the world.
But in fact, those who went there were all low-class people.
Those who have truly cultivated the immortal soul will not care about the orders of a mortal emperor.
But because of the existence of this Pure Jun Immortal Pot, everything is different again.
This Chunjun Immortal Pot is a top-notch "magic weapon".
magic weapon.
Even among the nine major sects of Taoism today, there are only two or three of them. Especially because this magic weapon was refined by one of the ten ancestors of the Taoism in the past, even those experts who have achieved immortality in the soul.
Got an idea.
………
Taoist Lan Li is not a member of the Xuanzong Taoist sect, but a Taoist cultivator of the innate body of gods and demons. He is also the master of the Northern Demon Sect, one of the five demon sects.
Although he is a member of the Demon Sect, he secretly entered the Kunlun Sect and learned Taoism decades ago. Therefore, he is more suitable for cultivating the true meaning than some authentic Xuanmen. The Demon Sect cultivates the physical body, while the Taoist Sect cultivates the soul.
Entering the realm of dual cultivation of life and life.
Taoist Lanli originally practiced in the north and was in charge of the Northern Demon Sect. This time, he accidentally heard about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's Chunjun Immortal Pot, so he came all the way from the north. When he passed through Baishi Town, he unexpectedly
I was moved by the kindheartedness of a young man from a small town and taught him an orthodox magic sect.
Then, he took Jiao Fei all the way to Chang'an.
…………
This day.
Suddenly, there was a bright light in the palace, thunder and fire, like thunder, and a few thunders directly destroyed more than a dozen palaces.
It is Taoist Lanli.
With Taoist Lanli's Taoist practice and his status as a demon sect, how could he care about the earthly emperor's thoughts and directly enter the palace and snatch the Chunjun Immortal Pot out?
