Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Chapter 9 Scholar meets Immortal (2)

Li Xiucai followed his cousin Chen Tongpan on a dusty journey. After many twists and turns, he finally arrived in Guangxi.

After Chen Tongpuan took office, everyone lived in Tongpuan's office.

As his cousin, Li Xiucai naturally enjoyed this treatment.

Li Xiucai, who had just arrived, had nothing suitable to do for a while, so he was arranged to study in the backyard.

On this day, Li Xiucai was tired from studying, so he walked around the courtyard so that he could familiarize himself with the environment and get some rest.

When I turned to the west wing, I found that the door was locked and seemed very mysterious.

This greatly aroused Li Xiucai's curiosity.

He found the old housekeeper of the government office and asked why the door was closed. Is there any treasure inside?

The old housekeeper replied mysteriously. He had never heard that there was any treasure inside, but he had heard that it was haunted! So no one dares to open the door, and no one dares to go in!

Li Xiucai became even more curious.

He said: "I'm not afraid of ghosts! I want to go in and see what happens!"

The old housekeeper gave him the key and ran away as if he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Li Xiucai opened the door and walked in, and found a garden inside, with a pavilion and rockery, many exotic flowers and plants, and many towering trees. The air is fresh and the environment is beautiful.

Li Xiucai fell in love with this place at first sight.

So, he found Chen Tongpan and explained that he wanted to move to the west wing.

Chen Tongpan had long heard that there was something strange there, but no one had ever gone in. I advised my cousin to give up the idea.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiucai insisted on moving there, and Chen Tongpan had no choice but to agree.

Li Xiucai happily moved into the west wing alone.

After living there for more than a month, I didn't see anything unusual or anything strange, which made me feel even more at ease.

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Xiucai was alone in the garden raising a glass to the bright moon. He was half drunk and started to write poems!

He raised his glass and chanted loudly: "The moon shines like water on the tower,..."

Before he could chant the second sentence, someone in the air was heard clapping and laughing, and chanting loudly: "'The moon is as bright as water flooding the tower'! What do you think of my sentence? You changed the photo Although the word ' is only one word different, the artistic conception is not good!"

Li Xiucai was shocked and turned pale. He looked up and saw an old man wearing a white rattan hat and ge robe, sitting on the branches of the plane tree in the courtyard.

Li Xiucai was so frightened that he woke up from drinking and screamed: "Ghost! There is a ghost!"

He hurriedly ran into the bedroom, closed the door tightly, and plucked up the courage to look out through the crack in the door.

I saw the old man jumping lightly from the branch to the ground, touching his long beard and saying: "Don't panic! Don't be afraid! Is there any elegant ghost like me in the world?!"

Li Xiucai asked through the door: "I wonder what kind of immortal this old man is?"

The old man said: "It's okay not to mention this! Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You and I, elegant people, do something elegant! How about we drink wine, sing songs, recite poems and admire the moon together?"

Li Xiucai saw that his beard and eyebrows were white, he had an ancient charm, and he looked like an outsider. He was no different from ordinary people and did not look like a ghost.

As a result, he was no longer afraid and gradually relaxed.

He opened the door, walked into the courtyard, and invited the old man to sit down at the table where he was drinking.

The two of them drank wine, admired the moon, recited poems, and had a great time!

After a long time, the moon had set in the west and the night was deep.

Li Xiucai suggested that he go into the house and record the poems he composed that night so that they could be recited in the future.

The old man Xin readily agreed and walked into the room with Li Xiucai.

Li Xiucai spread paper and studied ink, but the old man was not humble and started writing as soon as he picked up the pen.

It's just that the characters written by the old man were all the same as tadpoles. Li Xiucai didn't recognize most of them, so he asked him curiously why this was the case.

The old man explained: "When I was learning to write when I was young, this type of font was popular in the world. I also thought this type of writing was too troublesome, so I am now practicing regular script. But I am used to writing this type of font, and my hands are familiar with it. As soon as I put down the pen, I wrote it accidentally.”

While the two were chatting, Li Xiucai learned that the youth the old man mentioned was actually before Empress Nuwa mended the sky! In total, it has been more than [-] years!

Li Xiucai didn't know whether he was drunk or because of the old man's elegant demeanor, but he was not afraid. He felt that he was meeting an immortal Taoist.

From then on, the old man will come every night!

The two drank and recited poems, deeply in love. Fortunately, no one else dares to come in here easily. If others see it, they will definitely think that the two of them are like Long Yang!

When Chen Tongpan's boy brought food to Li Xiucai, he accidentally discovered that Li Xiucai often drank wine with his glass in the air and muttered something.

But when the book boy looked across from him, it was clear that there was no one there.

The book boy felt very strange and hurriedly reported the matter to Chen Tongpan.

Chen Tongpan couldn't help but remember that when he saw Li Xiucai recently, he found something was wrong with him. Feeling lethargic and dazed, as if he was going to be sick.

At this time, after listening to the report from the book boy, he had to believe that there must be something weird in the west wing. His cousin had provoked something dirty!

Thinking back again, Master Su Min's sixteen-character motto makes me feel deeply guilty.

He quickly asked the book boy to call Li Xiucai over.

Looking at Li Xiucai's lifeless look, he said sadly: "Cousin! It seems I was wrong! The 'die in Guangxi' that Lord Su Min said was really the 'death' of life and death! I shouldn't have I’ll take you to Guangxi, if you stay any longer, I’m afraid those four words will come true!”

Li Xiucai suddenly realized what he said after hearing what his cousin said. Don’t dwell on the old man’s various signs!

Li Xiucai felt scared and felt that he had to leave Guangxi quickly to get rid of the old man's troubles.

He discussed with Chen Tongpan that he should go home to escape.

Chen Tongpan thought that if he returned to Haichang alone, it would be better to take the water route or take a boat.

Li Xiucai also thought it was better to take a boat.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he boarded the ship at the pier, he saw the old man waiting for him there. Looking at the situation, it seemed that only he could see it, and no one else could.

At this point, there was no way to hide, so Li Xiucai had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The whole journey was uneventful and there were no accidents.

On this day, when the boat arrived in Jiangxi, the old man suddenly said to Li Xiucai: "Tomorrow, the boat will enter Zhejiang, and you will be home. My fate with you will be over. At this time, I will not I'm being polite to you, let me tell you the truth!

I have been cultivating Taoism for ten thousand years, but I have not been able to achieve the right results! The reason is that I lack three thousand kilograms of sandalwood to carve a statue of Xuannv! With this image, I can attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven!

Now I want to ask you for these three thousand kilograms of sandalwood. If you don't agree, I will dig out your heart and lungs instead! "

Li Xiucai was shocked and asked: "What kind of Tao does the immortal master practice?"

The old man said: "It's a big road!"

When Li Xiucai heard it for the first time, he was confused: What kind of Taoism is this?

Think about it again: "jin" and "车" together form the word "cut"!

At this thought, Li Xiucai became even more frightened!

This is coming to kill me!

He didn't dare to refuse directly. If he made the old man angry and killed him at once, it would be too late to regret it!

He thought he should stabilize the old man first and then find a solution when he got home.

He said perfunctorily: "Three thousand kilograms of sandalwood is not a small thing! My family is poor, so I have to wait until I get home to find a solution!"

The old man has been waiting for ten thousand years, and he is not in a hurry these days.

So I returned to Haichang with him.

After arriving home, Li Xiucai excused himself to find relatives and friends and tried to find a way to deal with the three thousand kilograms of sandalwood, so he was able to escape.

After the relatives and friends knew the whole story, they all agreed: "Could it be that the 'Nanshan stubborn stone' mentioned by Master Su Min was fulfilled in this monster? Could it be that he is a stone spirit?"

Another friend said: "Ask me, if he lived in Nanshan, he would be inseparable!"

Li Xiucai thought it made sense.

The next day, the old man came to Li's house and asked how the three thousand kilograms of sandalwood went.

Li Xiucai talked about him. He seemed to ask casually: "Does the Xianweng's family live in Nanshan?"

The old man suddenly changed his color and cursed: "Who asked you to ask this?"

"No one, I'm just asking casually! Why is the immortal so angry?"

"Impossible! You can't ask such a question! I've been with you for so long, and you've never asked! There must be some evil person with ill intentions who taught you to ask!"

Relatives, friends, and neighbors heard the noise in the Li family and gathered around to ask what it was about.

Li Xiucai saw the crowd and was no longer afraid. He told everyone what had just happened.

Everyone said: "Suddenly he refuses to admit it, then take this old monster and let's go to Sumin Temple together and let Master Sumin have a look!"

The old man said stubbornly: "Just go! Am I still afraid of you?!"

Now that the words have been spoken, everyone went to Sumin Temple together.

When he was about to arrive, the old man saw the plaque of "Sumin Temple", his face suddenly changed, and he turned around to run away.

Li Xiucai saw this and hugged him with both hands. All relatives and friends also came forward to help and forced the old man into Sumin Temple.

The old man roared and flew away into the sky! It disappeared in a moment!

Since then, this monster has never appeared again!

Later, Li Xiucai pretended to be from Tangxi (today's Jinhua, Zhejiang), took part in the examination, and got the Jinshi title!

And the invigilator is the number one scholar Yu Zhen!

This Yu Zhen is said to be the reincarnation of Master Sumin!

At this point, all those sixteen words of motto have come true!
