I live in a sandy state outside Yanhai, and the weak water is willing to flow northward. Although it is not as beautiful as Japan, it is still a paradise for thousands of years.
The name Shazhou first appeared in the first year of Xiankang, Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, Zhang Jun combined the three counties of Dunhuang, Jinchang, and Gaochang with the three battalions of the Western Region Protector, Wuji Xiaowei, and Yumen Grand Protector.
It was set up as Shazhou, and the state government was in Dunhuang.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, Shazhou Dunhuang had become much more prosperous due to the Silk Road, and at least it looked like a decent small town.
In the southwest of the small town, there is a somewhat dilapidated temple. The courtyard on the left side of the temple is dedicated to Buddha, and the courtyard on the right side is dedicated to Laojun. No matter which god you want to worship, it is very convenient...
Let me tell you quietly, in the backyard of this temple, the courtyard separated from the Buddhist path by a wall also enshrines Confucius.
Although this temple is somewhat nondescript, it is indeed the Xuantan of the Taishi Bureau in Shazhou.
However, because Shazhou is not taken seriously now, there are no Taoist priests placed in this mysterious altar. There is only one unlucky guy who can barely inspire a few talismans. His name is Deng Xianfeng.
Of course, the Taishi Bureau did not expect Deng Xianfeng to subjugate demons in Shazhou. His only role in staying in Shazhou was to ask for help from the Taishi Bureau in case some uncontrollable monsters appeared here. That was all.
Although there was a desert near Dunhuang in later generations, the vegetation here was still relatively lush in the early Tang Dynasty, and now the sky is actually gloomy, with rain still falling in the sky.
Deng Xianfeng was sitting on the Hu bed at the entrance of a side hall of the temple. He was lowering his head and gnashing his teeth as he competed with a piece of baked, hard Hu cake in his hand. Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, and a man in clothes appeared in front of him.
Taoist priest in white.
"Excuse me, are you Taoist Master Deng Xianfeng?"
The Taoist priest in white took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Deng Xianfeng.
"Qing Weizi, the supervisor of the Qihuan Department of the Chang'an Taishi Bureau, is here to solve the problem of the evil dragon in Heihe."
"What?"
Deng Xianfeng was a little surprised when he looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him who looked very handsome but extremely young, about the same age as his own son at most.
The raindrops fell on the handsome little Taoist priest in white, as if falling on an oilcloth, sliding down his clothes. Although he was standing in the rain, his clothes were still fluttering in the wind, with no trace of wetness at all.
.
Not only that, there was a little milk cat lying on the shoulders of the little Taoist priest in white. The hair on its body was very soft.
"You are the supervisor of the Prayer Department of Chang'an Taishi Bureau? In other words, you have already established your foundation and entered Taoism. Are you so young..."
For some reason, Deng Xianfeng looked at Kong Qing's face with a disappointed expression and murmured.
"I'm almost 40 years old, but I still can't build a foundation. It's really annoying to compare people to each other!"
"Daozhang Deng..."
The corners of the Taoist priest's mouth twitched and he said it again to Deng Xianfeng.
"The poor Taoist Qingweizi, the supervisor of the Qihuan Department of the Taishi Bureau of Chang'an, is here to solve the problem of the evil dragon in Heihe!"
"oh oh……"
Deng Xianfeng just woke up from a dream and threw the injured and hard biscuit to a hundred years ago. Then he stood up in a hurry and saluted Kong Qing.
"Deng Xianfeng, Shazhou Xuantan, Taishi Bureau, has met the real Qingwei!"
"Daozhang Deng is too polite..."
Kong Qing also returned the gift and replied very humbly.
"The poor Taoist has little talent and little knowledge. He has only built a foundation to enter the Tao, but he cannot be called a real person. Taoist Master Deng can just call the poor Tao Qingwei. In addition, the poor Taoist has just arrived and does not know what the situation of the Black River Evil Dragon is?"
"Okay, Taoist Priest Qingwei!"
Deng Xianfeng was not willing to call a Taoist priest who was about the same age as his son a real person, so he said it like a donkey.
"This Heihe evil dragon has lived in Heihe for many years. Its temperament is relatively violent and capricious. It will cause floods at every turn, destroying houses and submerging fields. It destroys the crops that have been planted, and it should be because of frequent floods.
The floods also caused the fields to be abandoned and unable to be cultivated. So the local residents also left their homes..."
Kong Qing's brows wrinkled slightly.
"Since this evil dragon behaves like this, why didn't you report it to the Taishi Bureau earlier and let the Taishi Bureau get rid of him?"
"In the past few years, a certain person did report to the Taishi Bureau several times..."
Deng Xianfeng hesitated for a moment, then continued.
"But the Taishi Bureau couldn't spare any manpower at that time, and the key point is that this evil dragon is more respectable. As long as the Shazhou officials bring tributes to the river every few months and earnestly offer sacrifices and pray, it can keep its peace for a few months.
."
Kong Qing nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party meant, and then continued.
"What about this time?"
"This time it was mainly because of the Turkic invasion. The previous governor of Shazhou was transferred away, but the new governor of Shazhou has not yet arrived. As a result, the sacrifices were delayed..."
Deng Xianfeng let out a long sigh and pointed to the sky.
"Because there was no one to offer sacrifices, the evil dragon became angry. It has been raining continuously for several days, and the water in the Heihe River has been rising. If there are no sacrifices in two days, then the floods may rush in.
Dunhuang, the people of this city are about to feed the fish."
"oh!"
Kong Qing looked at the rainy sky and frowned.
"Well, it seems that Pindao has to solve the rain problem first..."
As he said that, the long sword carried on Kong Qing's back had already flown out of its sheath. Then Kong Qing stepped on it and flew up in front of Deng Xianfeng. Then he flew higher and higher, and soon he flew out of the courtyard of the temple.
Arriving in the sky above Dunhuang City.
Because the flying speed of Kong Qing's sword was not very fast, and the clothes he wore were bright, when he stopped in the air, almost everyone in Dunhuang City could see him when they looked up.
"That should be enough here!"
After Kong Qing estimated the distance between himself and the ground, he shook his sleeves.
"go!"
A flash of fire flew out of his sleeve, then turned into a red sword light and slashed towards the dark clouds in the sky.
boom!
When he hit the dark clouds, Kong Qing snapped his fingers, and the blue gemstone on the ring went cold. Then a violent explosion sounded, which instantly spread throughout Dunhuang City.
Alarmed by this huge sound, the people who were still hiding in Dunhuang City walked out of their homes one after another and looked towards the sky, just in time to see a red light like a huge sword cutting through the lead-black clouds in the sky.
A sword mark appeared.
The sun shines through this sword mark and shines right on Dunhuang City.
Wow...
Seeing this miraculous sight, all the people in Dunhuang City instantly cheered.
Listening to the cheers of the people below, Kong Qing stood on the Gu Chen sword with his hands behind his hands, and put on a cool and handsome pose. The corners of Kong Qing's mouth were slightly raised.
There was no other way. In order to regain the confidence of the panicked people in Dunhuang who were frightened by the evil dragon, Kong Qing could only do this.
"*******,*******!"
Yes, that’s it!
It's not at all because Kong Qing likes to show off his holiness in front of others and likes to show off.
He Qingweizi is a low-key Taoist!
Then, Kong Qing took a deep breath and shouted in a thunderous voice.
"cut!"
The fiery sword light in the sky turned and slashed again at the dark clouds in the sky.
boom!
Kong Qing flicked his fingers slightly and dubbed again!
At this time, there were already two sword marks, one horizontal and one vertical, in the lead-black sky, as if a cross had divided the sky into four pieces. The sun shone in the rain, reflecting the excited faces in Dunhuang City.
"about there!"
Kong Qing lowered his head and looked at Dunhuang City below him.
“It’s time to start dealing with these dark clouds…”
As he spoke, Kong Qing reached into his arms and took out a written talisman. It was a mahogany talisman with cloud seals written in cinnabar. Just looking at it made people feel warm in their hearts.
This is the first talisman, the fire talisman, that Kong Qing made after absorbing the Hu Gong Talisman Technique!
Of course, it is not entirely true to say that it was all made by Kong Qing, because Kong Qing took a trick and borrowed the power of a certain Chang Ming Gong's granddaughter, which is actually equivalent to using the other party as a protector in the future.
"The red sun is dazzling, the fire is blazing... I will omit the following, go!"
Kong Qing held the fire talisman between his two fingers. After reciting two incantations, he flicked his wrist and the peach wood fire talisman flew out of his hand. Then, with the help of the Ring of Wind, it flew higher and higher, directly flying
When we arrived among the dark clouds in the sky, we were in the middle of the two sword marks cut horizontally and vertically by Kong Qing.
Just after the fire talisman entered the clouds, Kong Qing activated it without hesitation.
boom!
This time there was no dubbing by Kong Qing, the activated fire talisman exploded directly in the clouds, as if there was an extra sun in the clouds, the light was dazzling, and in the middle of the light, the figure of a certain granddaughter of Chang Ming disappeared in a flash.
.
The people of Dunhuang City opened their eyes and stared at the sky in shock.
After a flash of fire, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been pierced by countless sharp arrows. Wisps of light emerged from the clouds and shone on the earth.
Then, the strong wind roared in, tearing the dark clouds that had been torn apart into pieces again, and then blew them around.
The clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the sun appeared in the Dunhuang sky for the first time in a long time.
As the rain stopped, an angry roar suddenly came from the bottom of the Black River, and then the originally fast-flowing river became even more intense.
Wow!
The people of Dunhuang City looked at the Taoist priest in white standing in the sky and let out a burst of cheers.
With the sound of cheers, Kong Qing suddenly felt that there seemed to be a magic weapon trembling slightly in his demon refining pot. Kong Qing put his mind into the demon refining pot and looked carefully.
He discovered that it was the Vedic Pestle that he had long forgotten.
"What's happening here?"
Kong Qing's mind moved, and the Skanda pestle appeared in his hand.
As if sensing that he had left the Demon Refining Pot, the Wei Tuo Pestle that was trembling slightly began to light up with a hazy golden light, and then Kong Qing could feel that it was as if the Wei Tuo Pestle was absorbing something.
"Could it be that……"
Kong Qing looked at the Skanda pestle in his hand, and then at the cheering people of Dunhuang under his feet.
"What the Skanda Pestle is absorbing is the power of incense and aspiration?"
