Chapter 244 Heading to Taiyuan
Hearing that Lu Xiaofeng was fine, Cun Xin ate the flat peach with peace of mind, and immediately felt much better.Cun Xin thanked her so much, Baitang and Hua Manlou hurriedly waved their hands and refused.

Baitang changed the subject: "Third Princess, do you know which family Xiao Xun Huan was sent to? We are about to go to the world, so I can visit Xun Huan for you."

Cun Xin was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That family has something to do with my West Sea Dragon Palace."

Baitang smelled gossip: "What's the relationship? Can the princess tell us something?"

Cun Xin is a very lively person. After being imprisoned on the shore of the West Sea, she has not seen a single person for several decades.

"My second cousin is the Dragon King of the Qiantang River. These things were told to us by my second cousin: There is a small village beside the Qiantang River. In the village, there is a gentleman named Ma Yuan who is half-farming and half-educated. . The people of Ma Yuan had only one daughter in middle age. She was born with both virtue and beauty, and everyone called her Miss Ma. Miss Ma married a scholar named Gu from the same village when she was married. Scholar Gu's family was impoverished but had a fierce stepmother. Mrs. Yu. Her stepmother was not very popular in the village, but Miss Ma was very popular and was praised by everyone. Mrs. Yu was jealous of Miss Ma and often tortured Miss Ma on the basis of her status and filial piety, making her chop firewood every day. I go to the fields to carry water, wash clothes and cook, doing non-stop work, but I can only eat wild vegetables.”

Cun Xin took a sip of the drink (provided by Baitang free of charge), and added saliva: "Of course the scholar Gu knew that his stepmother abused his wife, but he couldn't help her out because of his filial piety. Now, he can buy a few maidservants to serve his stepmother, so that his wife will not have to work so hard. It happened that his friend recommended him to go to a merchant to assist in the business. Although he was a farmer and became a merchant , the status has been lowered by two or three levels, but at this time, the ancient scholar can't control so much. What he needs most now is to earn money to support his family, so that his stepmother and wife will not have to work hard. He is capable and upright, abandoning Confucianism Going to business is an overkill, and won the trust of the boss, and after going there for more than half a year, the salary earned was sent home one after another."

"It's just that this ancient scholar misunderstood his stepmother's nature. Such a fierce and greedy woman will only want more when she has money. The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is difficult. Yu enjoys lavishly every day, Soon it was difficult to make ends meet, but how could Mrs. Yu, who was used to enjoyment, want to live a poor life before, so she set her sights on her young and beautiful daughter-in-law. It happened that there was a bully named Zhang Huhu in the town to which the village belonged, who had always coveted Ma Da. The girl's appearance is just that Miss Ma is chaste and self-sufficient, and there is no chance to take advantage of it. After Mrs. Yu came to the door, the two colluded together, and Mrs. Yu took money from Zhang Hu and tricked Mrs. Ma into the carriage that Zhang Hu came to pick up. The eldest girl is clever, she learned the truth from the coachman's tone, and she jumped into the river for Bao Zhenjie."

"At that time, there happened to be a Taoist who was already a hundred years old. He had a white beard and a hale and hearty spirit. Because of business, he slowly steered the steering wheel. He caught a glimpse of a woman coming up the river. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead. As soon as the Taoist thought of compassion, he He wanted to save people, but he was a man who had never been close to women in his life. He had never had a hand with any woman since he was a child. Now that he was older, he was very reluctant to break his lifelong precepts for a woman. However, the current was fast and the rescuer The opportunity passed in an instant, and the Taoist thought for a moment, and said: "I would rather lose my spiritual practice than die without saving her." Then he moved the boat closer, pointed the big girl's body with a bamboo pole, squatted down, and dragged her over with all his strength. Who would have thought that the eldest girl has been drowned for too long, and she has already faded away."

"The Taoist thought that since the person is dead, the body should also be pulled up and carried to the shore and buried in the ground for safety. So he dragged the body onto the boat with all his strength, but unexpectedly, the body's abdomen was flooded, and the bones were swollen. Just halfway through the dragging, he heard the scratching With a bang, one of the legs of the corpse was twisted off. Then several huge waves came and capsized the Taoist’s boat. The Taoist only knew how to swim, but he had to take care of the dead aunt. If he didn’t pay attention, he himself drowned In the Qiantang River."

"My cousin was cruising in the river at that time, and found that the two souls had their own origins, so he took them into custody and brought them to the Crystal Palace. The Taoist restored the memory of his previous life, and it turned out that he was Xuandu, the apprentice of the Supreme Lord. The great mage went through calamities in the lower realms, and this was a catastrophe of cause and effect. Because of her unintentional injury, Miss Ma’s body was disabled, and she will also be physically disabled in the next life.”

"Shortly after Miss Ma threw herself into the river, Gu Shusheng returned home with a full load of money. Who knew that what he got back home was the wail of his wife's martyrdom. Gu Shusheng was so sad that he sank all the gold and jade into the river. At the place where his wife threw himself into the water, he also abandoned his family to learn Taoism, but he didn’t know where he was. However, a mountain gushed out from the place where he threw his jewels. The mountain is called Jinshan."

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing's Shuiman turned out to be the relics of the gods, could they be suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda.

"My cousin made a good relationship with the two of them because of this incident, and even sent them to be reincarnated. Because Miss Ma did not forget the golden mountain, she was reincarnated in a family named He Yuxian at the foot of the golden mountain. He Yuxian was named He Yuxian. I am not ignorant, I can speak when I fall to the ground, and when I get older, I am determined to practice Taoism, and one day I will leave my hometown to meet the fate of immortals and cultivate the body of immortals, known as He Xiangu."

Bai Tang and Hua Manlou listened with great interest. They had all heard of the legend of the Eight Immortals. According to the legend, He Xiangu was the apprentice of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl. They never thought that there was such a period in her previous life.I don't know if her husband in the previous life will become a fairy after cultivating Taoism, and will there be any entanglements with him in the future!
Cun Xin continued: "Great Master Xuandu went to a family of officials in Taiyuan and named him Li Xuan."

Well, this must be Tieguai Li.

"When Mrs. Li was giving birth, she dreamed of a man throwing herself into his arms. When she woke up, the room was filled with a sweet smell, and the child was born smoothly. The couple knew the child's origins and loved them very much. But Li Xuan had a strange nature and did not want to be an official. I just want to become a monk and practice Taoism. In my previous life, I was a Taoist. I loved doing good deeds and never did anything bad. Unexpectedly, when I was about to die, I saved a woman’s body and mutilated her body, which still haunts me. I have achieved Taoism in this life. In the end, he must find the woman and repent in front of her before he can become a Xuan. Father Li regarded her as crazy and scolded him and refused to allow Li Xuan to talk such nonsense again. But Mrs. Li believed in the immortal way and believed that her son must have something. He always had good words to comfort his son. More than ten years later, Taibai Jinxing was entrusted by Taishang Laojun to take Li Xuan away from the mortal world. My cousin, the Dragon King of Qiantang River, sent Li Xuan to be reincarnated and formed a good relationship, so he accompanied him. They went to the Li Mansion with Taibai Jinxing. When Mr. Li saw him coming home, he believed that his son was not an ordinary person. Mr. Li ordered people to draw the images of Taibai Jinxing and his cousin in the picture, and worship him morning and night, in order to bless the entire family. In fact, there is no need for other gods to bless the Li family. It is the Li family's blessing that Master Xuandu can be reincarnated into the Li family. Although it is an exaggeration to say that one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, but with the presence of the god Li Xuan, as long as the Li family does not do anything that will cause anger and resentment, Evil deeds can lead to wealth and prosperity. Fortunately, the Li family is a good family. They are not complacent because of the appearance of gods in the family and forget about it. They still pass down poems and books to the family, and they have been passed down for six generations now..."

"Is Xiao Xunhuan sent to Li's family?" Bai Tang asked, Tieguai Li's natal family, Cun Xin's mother would definitely find a backer for her grandson.

"Yes. The queen mother asked her cousin to go with her. The Li family has a collection of the portrait of the cousin. They will definitely fulfill the commission of the cousin and the queen mother with all their heart. They are good to Huan'er." Cun Xin said to herself Said to convince myself.

Bai Tang patted Cun Xin on the shoulder, comforting the mother who was separated from her son: "Is there anything you want us to bring to Xiao Xunhuan?"

Cun Xin wiped away her tears, got up and went to the bedside to get a few small clothes: "Help me bring these clothes to Huan'er!"

The small clothes can't be seen to be made of any material, but the feet are very delicate, which looks comfortable and delicate.

"Good workmanship!" Bai Tang couldn't help but praise.

Cun Xin smiled wryly at herself: "When I was in the West Sea Dragon Palace, female reds didn't know how to cook. During the 1000 years of living with Yang Jian, I learned how female reds learned to cook, and I wanted Yang Jian to wear me. The clothes I make eat the meals I cook, but unfortunately, he never gave me a chance. In the past 1000 years, I can only continue to be a female celebrity to pass the time, and it is difficult to not have good skills."

Baitang and Huamanlou sighed after hearing this. Huamanlou hadn't met Yang Jian yet, but she had already lost a good impression of this respectable god.In ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but if you dote on your concubine and kill your wife, you will be punished, and even an official will lose his official position because of this. As for Yang Jian, he is so indifferent to his wife for a woman who is not his woman , Even his wife took the blame for him, but he was indifferent, and he was a husband in vain.

The two asked about the specific address of the Li family and left the shore of the West Sea.Baitang took out a sword and enlarged it to a size that could accommodate three people, and jumped onto the sword with Hua Manlou.Although Yu Jian has flown twice, Hua Manlou still finds it novel and interesting.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Baitang said.

Hua Manlou smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't have spiritual power and immortal energy, even if I learn the method of driving, I can't use it."

Bai Tang grinned, but didn't say what he wanted to persuade Hua Manlou to be a god, and the two of them went all the way to Taiyuan in silence.Taiyuan, known as Jinyang in ancient times, was the birthplace of the Li family of the Tang emperor, and it was very lively and prosperous.As soon as Baitang entered the city gate, he was attracted by the food stalls along the street, such as noodles, sauced meat, pastries, Mengfeng cakes, fermented glutinous rice, millet porridge, old tofu, halal steamed dumplings, mouse cave yuanxiao, fish and sheep buns, enema... Along the way, Baitang's backpack was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
