Let me start with the opening words of this chapter.
There is a saying: "If you know the world well, don't open your mouth.
Even if you meet people, you will only nod.
If you don't even nod, your life will be peaceful and happy."
This means that there are countless things in life.
All the troubles and hardships are caused by oneself.
As the saying goes, "Right and wrong are just for talking more, and all troubles are caused by forcing oneself to stand out."
Therefore, I advise you, no matter how broad your mind is, don't show off your skills in front of others, so as not to provoke endless disputes.
It was just because Zhang Xiaobian had planned to kill a Tatar dog in Huangzhan Ridge.
After he came back, he boasted to everyone and boasted about many of his proud tricks.
After all, he was young, shallow and could not hold his breath, and he did not know the rules of the public affairs.
As a result, he was put at the forefront of the storm.
Now that Lingzhou City has seen a strange phenomenon of clouds and mist, all the officials naturally want to recommend Zhang Pai.
Head to find out what is causing the trouble.
Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Mazi were conveyed to the south gate in a daze.
They didn't know what urgent matter they were worried about.
When Master Ma called them to his side, he pointed at the thick white fog in front of them that was shaped like an ancient pagoda. reason.
It is said that there was a pagoda in Lingzhou City hundreds of years ago.
It was majestic and glorious, reaching into the clouds.
It was regarded as the king of pagodas in the world.
There were often monsters hiding in the pagoda, and some shocking and strange things often happened.
The strangest among them is the wonder of "seeing the pagoda".
Legend has it that it only appeared five times in a century.
In the past, every twelve years, white mist would rise from the mountains near Lingzhou City, and the sun would shine on it.
The shadows of countless ancient towers appear.
The tower shadows in the clouds vary in size, and they appear all of a sudden.
The one in front disappears, and the next one appears immediately.
The most numerous pagodas were seen.
Within half an hour, sixty-four pagodas appeared one after another.
Legend has it that the spirits of famous pagodas within hundreds of miles came to meet the pagoda king as scheduled.
Later, this ancient Lingzhou pagoda was destroyed by the war and disappeared from the world.
It became an old legend that even the locals had never heard of.
Mr.
Ma is familiar with many local chronicles, so he knows that in the previous dynasty, there were indeed such bizarre and strange scenes.
However, although there are clear records, the reasons mentioned in them are not credible.
This phenomenon is like a fantasy city of mountains and seas.
Because the tower is incredibly tall, once sunlight casts the shadow of the ancient Lingzhou Pagoda on the clouds, the shadow of the tower will also change as the clouds gather in the sky.
This gave rise to the widely rumored vision of "seeing a tower".
The current situation is no different than before.
The Cantonese invaders failed to bomb the city the day before yesterday, but instead destroyed several connected houses in the city, which happened to be the former site of the Tower King.
A crack in the ground opened under the ruins, and a vast white mist rose up from it.
The mist seemed to have a tangible form, floating in the air and condensing into the shape of a tower.
There was no sign of dissipating for a long time.
Ma Tianxi told Zhang Xiaobian'er that this cloud-mist tower has about 16 floors and is the same shape as the tower king that was destroyed in ancient times.
It is like the tower spirit of that ancient tower appearing.

Such abnormal and unreasonable phenomena have caused panic among the soldiers and civilians all over the city.
At a time when people's hearts are in danger, rumors are circulating, one after another.
Now it is also the time when the Guangdong invaders are besieging the city.
Nothing can be done carelessly.
I want to find someone.
A few heroes with sharp eyesight and outstanding courage went to the cave under the clouds and mist to trace the source.
Zhang Xiaopian'er is shrewd and slick, and before he has finished listening to the words, he has already understood.
Now that the matter has come to an end, it is impossible to shirk it, and it has to fall on him.
Instead of waiting for Master Ma to make the decision, it is better for the third master to act like a hero and take the initiative.
He stepped forward and quickly stepped forward to ask for help.
Zhang Xiaobian'er had received a lot of advice when he met the old ghost in the forest for the second time in the Cat Fairy Temple.
At that time, the old ghost in the forest once told Zhang Xiaobian'er that if he wanted to achieve success, he must be willing to take extraordinary risks and do some great things in Lingzhou City that ordinary people could not do.
As the saying goes, "No one wants anything from life to death, just to be famous all over the world."
As long as you have a reputation, you will have the opportunity to become a marquis and prime minister in the future.
If you are afraid of wolves before going forward and tigers behind you, you will be timid and timid all your life.
Always be an unknown unknown person.
These few actions are related to the success or failure of Zhang Xiaobian'er's prosperity and wealth.
The first thing was to go to Huangzhan Ridge to capture and kill the divine mastiff.
Now that the matter was done, the mastiff head was hung on the street by the officials overnight for public display; and the second thing was to meet the ancient Tower King.
This is by no means a trivial matter.
Fortunately, the old ghost in the forest has already explained the general context, and the rest has to be decided by his own devices.
Zhang Xiaobian immediately reported to Master Ma that this cave from which white mist gushed out was indeed the former site of Lingzhou Pagoda King Temple.
After the ancient pagoda was destroyed, the foundation of the underground pagoda is still there.
However, there is no underground palace under the pagoda, but a deep well.
Hidden at the bottom of the well is a wind and rain bell, which is an ancient artifact cast in bronze.
Whenever the wind and rain come, the wind and rain bell can buzz by itself, and it has been proven to be successful every time.
It was always used in the temple to enjoy incense.
Later, the monks in the Pagoda King Temple hid this object at the bottom of the tower to avoid war disasters. .
Now the white mist is morphing and condensing.
It is because there is treasure in the well that is eroding the sky.
It will dissipate on its own in less than two days.
Mr.
Ma was amazed when he heard this.
He never expected that Zhang Xiaobian'er, a knight-errant who only looked for empty jobs on the street, could be so knowledgeable about the past and the present.
According to the classics, the Wind and Rain Bell does exist, but the Pagoda King Temple has been destroyed for hundreds of years.
Who would have known that there was something hidden in the ancient well at the bottom of the tower.
Zhang Xiaobian did not dare to tell the old ghost in the forest who had revealed the secret.
He only lied that he had been diligent and studious since he was a child.
He had studied under many famous teachers and had been taught by experts.
As the saying goes, "If you search a well three times, you will get good water, and if you follow three masters, you will be highly skilled."
Not only did he learn the art of looking at cats, but he also learned how to hold back treasures from an old Taoist priest, and he knew the origins of various treasures in the world, as well as how to retrieve them. of different means.
Master Ma heard that he was exaggerating and was doubtful about this, but he also saw that what he said was meaningful and he must have his own means to deal with it, so he remained calm on the surface, only nodded slightly and praised: "Zhang Paitou is really a strange person."
Then he asked He said, "Do you dare to take some people down to the bottom of the well and fish out the storm clock to open my eyes?"
Zhang Xiaowei'er reported: "Unknown to Enxiang, there are two golden-scaled carp in the water at the bottom of this well.
They guard the wind and rain bell and don't allow others to come near.

They have lived for a long time and have become accustomed to the weather.
The soldiers went in bravely I have no choice but to die in vain.
I am willing to go down to the well with Sun Paitou and dozens of Lingzhou cats.
If I have a narrow escape, I will definitely be able to take out the Wind and Rain Bell and present it to him at dawn tomorrow.
In front of Enxiang Hall.”
Master Ma said: "You are so courageous, but it is not as good as before.
It is the time to calm down the chaos.
There is no joke in our army.
If you can do this, I will definitely use you in the future."
Then he ordered to go down and send troops to guard.
All around, people were waiting to get closer, and they called the whistle again to listen to Zhang Paitou's orders, and then took their own people to inspect the city defense.
Zhang Xiaobian'er boasted about Haikou in public, but in his heart he was only three-thirds sure.
Listening to Master Ma's words, he actually issued a military order for himself.
If he succeeds, everything will be fine.
If he fails, he will have to raise his head.
I came to see him, but I didn’t have the arrow to turn back when I opened my bow, so I had to ask Master Cat Fairy to respond quickly so that Master Zhang could succeed immediately.
Zhang Xiaowei'er asked someone to buy some noodles and steamed buns, and took them with him straight to the Cat Fairy Temple.
He and Sun Mazi came to the temple, kowtowed a few times to the Cat Immortal, burned two sticks of incense, and sat down to tidy up.
Sun Mazi admired Zhang Xiaobian'er for single-handedly decapitating the divine mastiff.
He just saw that he had accepted the errand ordered by Master Ma.
He didn't know what clever plan he had.
He was very curious about it and didn't dare to reveal it suddenly. , only then did he ask how to act.
There is a saying that "officials do not have three days to rush, but seven days to relax."
Whether it is too hasty to take out the weather clock in one day and one night should be considered in the long run, or it is better to seek a life limit that does not limit the time.
Although Zhang Xiaobian'er was unsure, he pretended to be calm and unconcerned on the surface.
He did not tell Sun Mazi clearly, but just boasted: "Think about those stupid men and women in the countryside when we were in Golden Coffin Village. , who is willing to look at us squarely?
Poverty and frustration are common among wise men, but we brothers have spent ten years sharpening their swords, and have never tried the frost blade.
When the time comes, they all show their talents as generals and prime ministers, and there is nothing they can do except turn the world upside down.
Organizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world are all a matter of course.”
Zhang Xiaobian'er tried his best to talk quickly and said that he needed to recharge his energy.
He fell asleep and fell asleep until it was getting late.
After he had regained enough mental strength, he ate some dry food to fill his stomach, then got up and put on the cat fairy.
The black cicada was left walking in night clothes, with a cat's face on her head.
He asked Sun Mazi to quickly pack up and bring ropes, whistle sticks, lights and candles and other necessary things.
It was now dark, and more and more wild cats were gathering in the Cat Fairy Temple.
The Moon Shadow, Black Eyed and Golden Silk Cat that Zhang Xiaopian always brought with him was also among them.
Jin Yunu is the leader among Lingzhou's colorful cats.
Except for the domestic cats scattered in various streets and alleys, almost all of them have gathered here.
I saw among the group of cats, fat and thin, tall and short, fierce and kind, beautiful and ugly, greedy and lazy, male and female, big and small, there were almost all kinds of cats, and I couldn’t see them at the moment.
All.
Zhang Xiaowei'er memorized the cat catalog and at a glance, he knew that most of the wild cats in the temple were famous products produced in Lingzhou, such as the long-faced Arhat, Thousand Wen Coin, Bridge Gold, Thin-Eared General, Jueji Breed, Round Although Taihu, Zaoshanglan, Sleeping God Lu, Ye Minglan and Maozhi have their own shapes and habits, they are all tabby cats with excellent appearance.
Zhang Xiaowei'er bowed to the cats and said: "Zhang San, the little man, has always respected the cat fairy the most.
Today, I would like to help all the cat masters and cats to help out by putting up a cat formation.
This matter is of great importance.
Everything is important."

I hope you can help me."
After saying that, he took out the fox jade from his arms, held it in his palm, and put it in front of the golden jade slave to take a look at it.
Fox jade belongs to yang, and cat eyes belong to yin.
In response to the principle of attraction of objects, cats are inevitably very curious about this object, and they gather around to take a look.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Xiaobian'er winked at Sun Mazi, held the piece of fox jade in his hand, and the two of them jumped out of the circle and walked quickly towards the door.
The wild cats were stunned for a moment, but they still wanted to see what the fox jade was, so they followed behind it under the leadership of Jin Yunu.
The procession dragged on, as long as a street.
Under the cold moonlight, hundreds of wild cats meandered slowly towards the ancient well of Tawang Temple.
This is exactly: "I just captured the evil god in the mountains, and then I went to the bottom of the well to catch golden scales."
