Chapter 1016: Who is crowned like a lotus flower?

The journey was safe and sound. Qingni took the two strange people who seemed to be picked up from the inside and returned to the town smoothly. Maybe the sneaky and dirty place in the eyes of outsiders is lovable in the eyes of the girl. When she returned to the town, the thin girl Obviously, she relaxed a lot, and her footsteps were a little light. Previously, she followed the sword-backed boy in the wilderness. Qingni's body was obviously a little stiff, and her heartstrings were tense all the time. Maybe she was born and raised here. In other words, there is a day and night difference between a familiar town and an unfamiliar world outside.
The young Taoist asked, "Young Taoist Qingni, does the town have a name?"
"Feng Le."
"In the past, soldiers fought for war, but now the four seasons are all lovely."
This Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown is wearing a heavy cotton robe, which is only knee-length, and a cloth strip is tied to the calf. It is probably due to the lack of official roads in the Hehuan Mountains, and there are some thorns on the leggings. , Barb.
The girl is more worried at the moment, or she is afraid that when she returns to her residence later, Sister Zhou will be angry. Don't look at Sister Zhou's gentleness and kindness. She usually speaks in a soft voice, but after spending time with each other year after year, the girl has long discovered that in fact Uncle Liu and the others are all in awe of Sister Zhou.
After seven turns and eight turns, Qingni led the young Taoist priest and the sword-backed boy into a dark alley. On the way, she occasionally turned her head to look back, and saw that Taoist priest was a thief, was he stepping on the spot?
Zhou Qiu, who was holding an umbrella and embroidered shoes, appeared at the corner of the two alleys, frowning slightly, "Why are you back?"
The thin and dark girl twisted the corners of her clothes and pursed her lips. She thought of some lame excuses along the way. When she saw Sister Zhou, the girl would not want to lie.
Fortunately, the sword-carrying youth helped open the siege and explained: "I was under the tree before, and from the moment I accepted the money, this trip was accepted, but I didn't say when I would set off for the journey, Miss Zhou, I promise to take the green mud. Just bring out the Hehuan Mountains, with all the beards and tails, and jumping around. If Miss Zhou doesn't believe me, I can swear here, if Qingni loses a single hair in the town tonight, I will be by my side. This Daoist Lu, who claims to be my close friend and relative, cut off his dog's head, apologized to Miss Zhou, and apologized."
Daoist Lu looked dazed, "Huh?"
Zhou Qiu suppressed his anger and asked, "Who is this?"
The young Taoist hurriedly turned his head, coughed a few times, moistened his throat, made a bow, and said loudly: "Xiao Dao is Lu, he is proficient in measuring characters and drawing lots, especially good at reading palmistry, the price is fair, and the old man has nothing to do with it. Bully, don't accept the money!"
A man in armor walked out from behind Zhou Qiu, his palm resting on the hilt of the waist knife. When he saw this scene, he was reluctant to scold the silly girl, and he couldn't say anything in person, so he could only complain in his heart: "Zhou Qiu, talk about it yourself. Look, what kind of business is this?"
Zhou Qiu also had two big heads, and said in his heart: "Blame me, I found the wrong person."
The man asked, "It really doesn't work, so I'll go to Old Man Qi for help?"
Zhou Qiu said, "Let's talk about it when I talk to them."
The man reminded: "Don't delay for too long."
Zhou Qi touched the girl's head, "I'm usually so obedient, how come it's a critical moment, and I'm making a fool of myself instead."
Qingni whispered: "Home is here, Sister Zhou, Uncle Liu, you are all here, and you are reluctant to leave."
Zhou Qiu smiled bitterly and said nothing, and led them to a simple but clean house. The girl put down the messenger bag and knew the way. She went to the kitchen to take out the white bowl, took the gourd and spooned out the glutinous rice wine from the wine jar. , The four of them sat around a small table in the courtyard. After Qingni brought the wine bowl to the table, she did not serve the table. She poured herself a bowl of glutinous rice wine and sat on the threshold of the kitchen door.
The man with a sword smiled and said, "My name is Liu Tie. I believe that Young Master Chen and Daoist Lu have seen it. They are no longer from the world. The two of them don't care about this, and they are willing to drink at the same table. Respect the two of them first."
Both the sword-backed boy and the young Taoist priest held up their wine bowls, and Liu Tie drank it all. Zhou Qiu didn't drink, so he pushed his wine bowl to the man in armor.
Chen Pingan asked, "Where is Brother Liu from? Listening to the accent, it doesn't look like someone from Qingxing Country."
Liu Tie said, "It's from the north."
Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Which is north, north of Dadu?"
Liu Tie shook his head and said, "Master Lu is joking. To the north of that Dadu is the Dali Dynasty."
Lu Chen praised: "The realm of Xiaodao may not be high, but his eyes are very accurate. At first glance, Brother Liu is a strong general on the battlefield.
Liu Tie was stunned for a while, but Zhou Qiu's face was as usual.
The girl over there at the door wondered, "Isn't it arrogant?"
Is this condescending Taoist priest an ignorant and incompetent scholar?
The sword-backed boy smiled and said, "Is it possible that you read a fake character?"
Lu Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "Which mountain is Brother Liu currently living in? Xiaodao heard that the two mountains, Zuiyuan and Wuteng, each have military camps, and they are both strong and strong. If you don't have the ability to get a school captain, the eyes of the stewards of the two governments will grow on their buttocks."
Liu Tie smiled, "I can't climb high. I don't talk about these unpleasant things, I still have something to do, so I will stay soon."
After drinking two bowls of wine, Liu Tie said goodbye and left. Zhou Qi got up to see them off, went out to the alley, and smiled bitterly. There is a cave mansion cultivation base, a Qi trainer cooperates with a pure martial artist, and the confidence to Qingni to leave this place is even greater. Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest has a stagnant breathing in the town, and the breath is quite turbid. Obviously, he can't adapt to the small town for a while. The Yin evil aura on the side is definitely not a cultivator of the Middle Five Realm.
Zhou Qiu was both a spy and a military cultivator during his lifetime. Therefore, Liu Tie's dozen or so cavalry, whether during his lifetime or after his death, were very convinced of Zhou Qiu.
Chen Pingan asked, "What's the little girl's real name?"
The dark girl sitting over the threshold was speechless, how did she find out her gender?
Zhou Qiu said with a smile: "Ni Qing, turn around and take the homonym."
The young Taoist asked, "What's your surname?"
Zhou Qiu said with a smile: "Master Lu is a of Taoism. Haven't you read the Great Master and Qiushui of that Taoist master? Ni, who knows no clues, knows right and wrong and cannot be divided into small ones. Not to mention a high-gong master like Lu Daochang, it seems that even a cultivator outside of Taoism, or even an ordinary master of a scholarly family, should know these two sentences, right?"
Lu Daochang was anxious, "Xiaodao just hasn't read any of the chapters, so why is she a fake Taoist? Did Miss Zhou bully Xiaodao from a poor family and didn't read much?"
Chen Pingan twitched the corners of his mouth and took a sip of the glutinous rice wine, which was not as good as Dong Shuijing's wine.
Zhou Qiu smiled and said, "The level of the Dao is not about the endorsement, Chief Lu Dao"
The Taoist sighed and said, "What kind of person is this person, how can he make Miss Zhou so familiar..."
Chen Pingan said: "It's almost there."
Lu Chen had to stop the bragging that he had already written, changed the subject, looked at the thin and dark girl, smiled and said, "Ni Qing, good name, the sun rises, and Yitian Ni, the autumn air is strong and chilling. , The fresh air is great, and the vegetation is withered. In fact, Qingni is also a good name, Qingni Xiaojianguan, wind and snow thousands of mountains. The real name is Ni Qing, and the Taoist name is Qingni.
Zhou Qiu had doubts in his heart, because just based on the sentence "Sunrise and Yitian Ni", this Taoist priest surnamed Lu must have read the Great Master and Autumn Water.
She glanced at the sword-backed boy who sat down to drink and kept his mouth shut, and then at the young Taoist priest who drank seven or eight sips without drinking a drink or two. One of them was not astonishing, and he was so eloquent.
, Hippie smiley, so curious. No wonder the two friends can get together?
Zhou Qiu said, "Master Lu."
It really couldn't be delayed any longer. The rainbow light and the sword light that lit up over the Momo Peak were just greeting her.
The young Taoist hurriedly said, "Just call Brother Lu."
Zhou Qi turned a deaf ear and said, "What kind of place is Fengle Town? I think you two have a lot, especially tonight is the day of the wedding banquet in Hehuan Mountain. The fish and dragons are mixed, and the level of danger is far greater than usual. Liu Tie and I have a personal grudge. The solution, but the odds of winning are not high. I know it is impossible to do it. Naturally, there are reasons for it. There is no need for the two of you to ask. It is only because I am destined to take care of Ni Qing, so I will find Chen Gongzi earlier. Ni Qing took him out of the Hehuan Mountains, away from this place of right and wrong. After I became a ghost, I lived in Ni Qing's ancestral house. Later, Liu Tie and the others also settled in this alley. Over the years, some ghosts have The things that shouldn't be done are actually Ni Qing's help. Repaying kindness and revenge is the right thing to do, so I urge the two of you to take Ni Qing out of Fengle Town quickly. Bet dart, I can give you an extra amount of fairy money."
Chen Ping'an pointed to Lu Chen, "I had planned to go to the capital of Qingxing Kingdom. He wanted to go back. I swore that when Ni Qing returned to the town, there would be an opportunity waiting for her."
Zhou Qiu looked at the Taoist priest.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest had already turned to his side, facing the gate of the courtyard, not looking at Miss Zhou.
Zhou Qi was helpless, so he had to wait for news from Liu Tie and asked the old man surnamed Qi to help him, and let the master of the golden body and realm find someone to send Ni Qing out of the town.
There are a few in the hospital, and the next step is to drink and not speak.
Liu Tie soon brought an old man and a woman here. Zhou Qi stood up and cupped his hands, "Senior Qi, Miss Lu."
The old man's surname is Qi Mingsong, he is the chief guest secretary of the Zhang clan in Tiancao County, and a warrior with a golden body.
The last time the cultivator Zhang encountered a wall here, it was Qi Song who was in charge of the rear of the palace, and the greater damage was avoided. The two sides shouted drums to withdraw their troops. Only Qi Song walked to the town at the foot of the mountain alone. Fu Yang and Yu Chunzhi also didn't want to fight to the end with an old man who was in martial arts, so they let the other party live at the foot of the mountain. In the spring of this year, another direct disciple of Qi Song came. Although she was a woman, she was a The extremely ruthless martial artist has made many shots in Fengle Town. This girl named Lu Mo, in her thirties, is already at the peak of the five realms of martial arts. It is said that the Qingxing Kingdom wants to recruit her to serve Forbidden army instructor.
Qi Song was a chubby old man with a halberd beard and a frog belly. He was smiling. He saw the cotton-robed Taoist priest and the straw-shoe boy.
The young Taoist waved his hand vigorously and said with a smile: "The visitor is a guest, so what are you doing, there is no shortage of wine at home."
That Lu Mo is not as slender and plump as Miss Zhou. At first glance, he really doesn't look like a trainer, but more like a pampered lady from a wealthy family.
The Taoist priest Fangcai was staring at the door of the hospital, and the first person who came into view was not the woman's profile.
The Taoist winked at Liu Tie, hey, it turns out that Brother Liu likes to eat pork belly that is both fat and thin.
Liu Tie was like a cloud, and he just pretended he didn't see the strange face of Daoist Lu. Ni Qing moved two benches from the main house, and Sister Zhou and Uncle Liu, the master and the apprentice, sat on one each.
Zhou Qi said bravely, "Young Master Chen, Daoist Lu, I won't go around in circles with you. Liu Tie has already negotiated with Senior Qi and Miss Lu, and Miss Lu will personally go out and Ni Qing all the way out of the town."
Chen Ping'an nodded, only saying a good word, and then there was no movement.
Lu Chen felt that he was thin-skinned, so he could only remind in a low voice, "Brother Chen, I don't have any eyesight. Miss Zhou is implying that you take out two bags of immortal money."
Chen Ping'an squinted, "It's none of your business."
Lu Chen was so anxious that he almost pinched his feet, "Don't be stunned, a bag of snow will pay for Master Qi and Sister Lu as darts, and a bag of Xiaoshu will be returned to Miss Zhou."
Qi Song laughed, reaching out and gently stroking her bulging belly.
Lu Mo frowned slightly, where did these two swindlers appear, the young man surnamed Chen really has the four realms of martial arts?
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Perhaps Lu Daochang has misremembered, that bag of Xiaoshu money is the fee for escorting darts that I agreed with Young Master Chen."
"My brother, this is all a lie?! Didn't you say you only earn a bag of snow money earlier?"
The young Taoist opened his eyes wide, then his face was full of eagerness to try, his eyes were hot, and he rubbed his hands and said: "People are fortune and birds are killed for food. Usually, their heads are tied to the belt of trousers. A bag of Xiaoshu money! This dart, Pindao took it! Not Lao Sister Lu is driving..."
Lu Mo's face was expressionless. He picked up the wine bowl, but turned the toe of his shoe gently. Suddenly, the young Taoist flew out with a bench. She was a little surprised. The Taoist was so weak?
She had to turn her wrist, a gust of wind cleverly "pad" between the Taoist priest and the wall, the young Taoist fell to the ground, got up, put his hands on his hips, raised the other hand, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay... It's just a small thing, it's a small thing, it's a small thing!"
The sword-carrying boy was indifferent to this, just raised his head and said, "Miss Lu is so rash and tempted, isn't she afraid of hitting hard nails? Or is it that the guest Qingwufu of the Zhang family in Tiancao County has such a fierce temper?"
Qi Song nodded and smiled and said, "Harmony makes money, and harmony makes money. Lu Mo, quickly apologize to Daoist Lu, Xiaoyou Chen is right, be kind to others when you go out, don't always think that the whole world is a ghost with ill-conceived minds."
Lu Mo got up and clasped his fists and said, "What a sin."
The young Taoist priest carried the small bench, staggered back to his original position, and said with a grin, "The family doesn't speak two languages, and the beating is kissing and scolding, it is love, Sister Lu..."
The young Taoist's expression suddenly changed as he spoke indecent words, the little girl dared to be so presumptuous with the Taoist, watching the dart... with a stride, smashing the bench as a hidden weapon at Lu Mo. As a result, the ghostly figure walked around the table in a few steps, grabbed the bench with one hand, threw it on the ground, and then came to the Taoist priest, an elbow hit him on the chest, and the Taoist priest lifted his feet off the ground. He fell into the main house of the house on the side of the air, slammed his back against the edge of the Eight Immortals table, squeaked, fell a dog and ate shit, and lay on the mud floor in the house. Brother Chen, save me.
The sword-carrying boy took out two bags of fairy money and threw them on the table, "If you like to take care of things, take them."
Zhou Qi glanced at the two bags of money on the table, her eyebrows stood upright, took a deep breath, and finally managed to hold back, without opening her mouth to explain the mystery. Ren escorted Ni Qing back to the town toll.
Lu Mo put the bag of Xiaoshu money into his sleeve, then threw another bag of fairy money to Ni Qing, and said with a smile, "Little girl, we can go on our way."
Zhou Qiu said, "Liu Tie, him for a ride."
The man in armor put down the wine bowl.
Ni Qing hesitated. Seeing that Sister Zhou showed signs of anger, he had to pick up the oil-paper umbrella and the package again, and left the house with the woman. Looking back, Sister Zhou nodded at her, and the young man with the sword was drinking with a straight face. , The Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown, lying on the threshold of the main house, waved at her, and even laughed.
Walking in the alley, the girl remembered something, and reluctantly used her inner voice, saying, "Uncle Liu, that Daoist Lu has a very strange crown on his head. I have never seen it in the town."
I heard Sister Zhou say that a serious Taoist priest with a severance order must be well dressed and must not be arrogant.
The crown is in the shape of a fish tail crown. It is a line of inheritance, but the young Taoist priest surnamed Lu is a lotus Taoist crown. Here in the town, there are also some qi trainers who came from eccentricities, who like to dress up as "dao masters", but they don't have this kind of dao crown.
Liu Tie's expression changed slightly, and he asked with a smile, "How do you say it?"
Ni Qing said: "The crown of Tao is like a lotus flower."
Liu Tie stopped, looking complicated, hesitating for a while.
If he remembers correctly, in this Aquarius Island, the only Taoist priests who are qualified to wear the lotus crown, except for a few unknown Taoist temples on Shengaozong Mountain whose incense is withered, there is only the Lingfei from the old Dashuang Dynasty. Look, the previous Guanzhu Xianjun Cao Rong, only because he is the disciple of Baiyujing Lu Zhangjiao, is wearing a lotus crown, and both are honored. This is still the secret story on the mountain that Liu Tie heard from Zhou Qiu.
The most mysterious thing is that the young Taoist priest in Liu Tie's eyes is not wearing a Taoist crown at all!
If it is said that he can't see through the blindfold, that's all. Zhou Qi is a Longmen monk with a strong family background. How can she see through?
The surnamed Lu was either a bold and ignorant Shan Ze Yexiu, or a genealogical Taoist priest from Lingfei Temple? !
Liu Tie was thoughtful and continued to move forward, seemingly casually asking: "Miss Lu, can you see the Taoist priest's lineage and roots on the mountain?"
Lu Mo smiled and said, "It's just a poor and sour liar, but he's really a Qi practitioner, and he knows some breathing techniques to strengthen the body. I used skillful strength in the two strokes in front of me in the courtyard. As for being so embarrassed, I have to pretend that I don’t want to. With my master’s eyesight, except for the Earth Immortal, I can’t deceive the old man. If it is really a land immortal who travels all over the world, his words and deeds will not drop in price like this.

Liu Tie asked again with a heartfelt voice: "It is rumored that the Jinque faction of Old Master Cheng has the lineage of the Qingjing Peak Jinxian Temple. It has a prosperous incense and has always been as good as the Qingqing Peak. Moreover, it has some origins with the southernmost Lingfei Temple?"
Lu Mo was greatly amazed, and he used the martial artist's method of concentrating his voice and said with a smile, "Is Liu Biaochang so well-informed that he even knows this kind of mountain insider? The ancestor of the Jinque School, the true Taoist lineage of the founder of the mountain, is indeed from the Lingfei Temple, but for some unknown reason, Jinxian An has been reluctant to talk about this matter to the outside world for hundreds of years. Flying to the palace, climbing up the relationship, not to mention publicizing it to the outside world, it is not right to hide and hide. Master guessed that the founder of Jinxian Temple was probably an abandoned disciple who was driven down the mountain by Cao Rongtian, so I don't dare to mention this at all. Master knows this because he has a good relationship with the ancestor of Zhang's family in Tiancao County, and he has nothing to say."
Liu Tie clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and asked the girl beside him in his heart, "Ni Qing, does the Taoist priest have words to reveal his identity? Think about it carefully, and don't let any clues go away."
Ni Qing said: "It's all unreliable and strange words, such as what Qi Tianjun of Shengao Sect is familiar with him, he is not familiar with Qi Tianjun, and said that if I join forces with them, I can kill any fourteen realms, um, according to that According to Taoist priests, there are fourteen one-level Qi practitioners."
Liu Tie was speechless, spit, and scolded the liar of the dog days, and then said solemnly: "Go, let's leave the town quickly."
Then he hurried back and reminded Zhou Qi that he must stay away from the Taoist priest who ate the bear's heart and the leopard's gall, as well as the boy who carried the sword.
For some reason, the girl felt empty in her heart.
Those two weirdos who had not met for a long time, although neither of them were righteous, their words were interesting. For example, when he was resting by a river in the middle, the young man with the sword brushed off the soil, chewed the grass roots, and stared at the river in a daze. Seeing that no one was there, the Taoist priest turned his head and took the initiative to talk to her, asking her if she knew why a person's left ear could hear better than his right ear, and what meant facing the loess and his back to the sky... She ignored it, and the Taoist priest took care of himself It is explained that there are yin and yang qi between heaven and earth, the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the earth is dirty, and there are many living things, and the left ear belongs to yang, so the heaven hears sharply, the right ear belongs to yin, and the earth hears better, in addition, there are differences between men and women... Here, the young Taoist pointed to the river with a smile, and said something that made Ni Qing, who was never afraid of ghosts, feel horrified. He said that if there were floating drowned corpses in Hanoi, even if they were soaked in water beyond recognition, the people on the bank would still look at them. Men and women can be identified. Men regard their faces as yin and their backs as yang. Therefore, when a corpse floats in water, it must be facing the bottom of the water and turning its back to the sky. This is also a clue that we humans are in the dark Signs, after all, the head of all spirits is not a call for nothing...
On the other side of the courtyard, Zhou Qi sent Qi Song to the corner of the alley. The old man patted his abdomen lightly and said with a smile, "Since the purpose is the same, why not join hands with us?"
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "Two things."
The old man sighed, "Even for personal revenge, as long as Miss Zhou is willing to reveal her identity with the Liu Clan of Qingxing Kingdom, why wouldn't Hehuan Mountain refuse to hand over the monster that was tipping the bill for the Wilderness?"
Zhou Qi said indifferently: "There is no evidence."
Qi Song hinted: "Evidence? As long as the monster falls in Miss Zhou's hands, won't it be there?"
Zhou Qiu smiled, "According to the military rules of the border, for the sake of selfishness, the abuse of public weapons should be executed according to the law."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Qi Song had to give up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The two people in the courtyard, whose origins are unknown, you should be careful."
Back in the small courtyard, Zhou Qiu looked at the young Taoist priest who sat back in place and rubbed his waist, still stubborn, "Miss Zhou, don't look at your brother Lu who looks weak, and your skeleton is not strong enough. I am sick and alive. This is the great benefit of the 'God's presence' where the Taoist heart is tough and the soul is fixed. As long as Miss Zhou does not dislike it, Pindao will immediately teach Miss Zhou a Daoyin technique, not to mention thunder at night You will feel palpitations, even if you walk in the sun during the day, it's okay, come, Rong Pindao first show Miss Zhou a palmistry, what Pindao has learned is complicated, you need to prescribe the right medicine to get twice the result with half the effort..."
Zhou Qi waved his hand, "Master Lu has kindly accepted it, Young Master Chen, don't blame me for the expulsion order."
Chen Ping'an said: "Take people's money to help people eliminate disasters. Those little summer money should be regarded as the reward for Daoist Lu to solve problems for Zhou girl."
Lu Chen stopped rubbing his waist, "What?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Zhao Fuyang and Yu Chunzhi from the Hehuan Mountains, have they ever colluded with the savage demon clan? And did the Liu clan of Qingxing Kingdom know anything about concealing the report? Don't tell me that there is no evidence, you and Liu Biao Long, just have a guess in your mind."
Zhou Qiu was shocked, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "Who are you?!"
The conversation she had just had with Qi Song was quite far away from the house, not to mention a Qi practitioner at the Dragon Gate realm and a martial artist at the golden body realm, how could the two people in the courtyard be able to hear it casually?
The young Taoist chief said aggrieved: "'You', Miss Zhou, you are missing a word. The poor Taoist is also a strong hero! The most unaccustomed to injustice in life."
Chen Ping'an glanced at Lu Chen, "Seeing money to do things."
Lu Chen put down the wine bowl and burped, first muttering, as if whispering to others, and then the Taoist priest shook his sleeves.
Helpless is also helpless, just seeing money to do things, not taking money to do things.
Who made Pindao and Chen Shanzhu be close friends and relatives who could drink as soon as they met?
Zhou Qiu put his hands on his sleeves, wondering, is this poor and sour Taoist pretending to be a ghost? Just what's the point?
After a while, a young woman with a bun with appeared out of thin air on the other side of the alley. She was slender and showed a high forehead. She looked at the sword-carrying boy in the courtyard and said with a smile, "Master."
