Chapter 166: Conversation Behind the Scenes

The distance between Lingqian Township and Fucheng.

If it is according to one person with two fast horses.

All the way non-stop, fast horses, whips up.

It only takes a day to arrive.

But if it was a horse-drawn carriage, it would have been delayed for about three days.

Ultimately.

Jin An agreed to the eldest lady's request and came to Lingqian Township.

In addition to what the eldest lady promised, there must be thick and thin.

He also intends to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Never again.

lest the ghost fetus in Zhang's belly really become a climate, be born, and then be angry and look for him, the enemy who killed his father, to take revenge.

After sitting in the carriage for three days, the first two days were not too bumpy, and the official road was not too bumpy, but on the last day, after getting closer and closer to Lingqian Township, the road began to become more and more bumpy.

It's getting harder and harder along the way.

It's a convoy.

There were three carriages.

Each carriage is pulled by two foals with the most endurance of the most.

And in front of and behind the convoy, there are more than a dozen guards raised by He Fuyang, protecting the front and rear, preventing any blind bandits from hitting the convoy of the eldest lady of the He family.

These guards are not comparable to those ordinary guards in He Fu.

He has a powerful body, his temples bulging, and a bow of horns on one side of the colt, and a bag of arrows on the other.

This kind of horn bow can't open the bow without two or three hundred catties of strength.

If you want to pull a full bow, you can't do it without five or six hundred pounds.

These people are all good at riding and shooting, and they are not afraid of the harassment of those horse thieves, and if they encounter ordinary bandits, they will shoot directly from a hundred paces away.

These are the elite guards of He Fuyang's lineage.

According to what Jin An and Li Escort heard, these lineage guards are all masters of horizontal training between third-rate and second-rate masters, and they can be good at using swords, guns, swords and sticks when they get off their horses, and they can be good at riding and shooting when they get on horses, and they are strictly disciplined, and they are trained according to the specifications of Kangdingguo's cavalry.

The cost of cultivating each person is a few hundred taels of silver.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a master who is smashed out with money.

One person smashed a few hundred taels of silver, and there are more than a dozen people here, which is equivalent to 10,000 taels of silver moving, and He Fu is really wealthy.

Along the way, Jin An has not been idle, he has been constantly observing, figuring out the visualization map of the Great Demon God, and improving his spiritual martial arts every day.

On the contrary, on the last day of the old Taoist priest, his buttocks were turned upside down, and finally he simply walked out of the carriage, sat in the front of the car, and chatted with Li Huwei from all over the world.

So in the carriage at this time, only Jin An and the sharpening sword that had been in a daze were left.

This time, when he encountered a gang of antique dealers, it was likely to turn into a group battle in the end, and Jin An naturally wanted to bring the master of sword sharpening with him.

In the unlikely event of a large group battle, you will not be isolated.

As for the greedy and stupid sheep in the Taoist temple.

Jin An was temporarily thrown into He Mansion to raise.

It is estimated that there are a bunch of ewes bleating around now, indulging in the wine pond meat forest and unable to extricate themselves.

If someone can carry the weight for Jin An, he also wants to be quiet.

Thinking of the Li Fat Guard, who was bent on hitting the evil spirits in He Mansion, and this time he also followed the eldest lady's convoy to Lingqian Township, Jin An couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart.

Li Huwei finally got his wish to hit the evil spirit this time.

I don't know if after seeing the man-eating ghost fetus this time, Will Escort Li continue to think about finding a headless village to be the headless corpse king......

"Little brother, we have finally arrived at Lingqian Township, Lao Dao, I have already seen Lingqian Township at the foot of the mountain. ”

The voice of the old Taoist priest shouted outside the carriage.

When Jin An heard this, he lifted the curtain, and immediately there was choking dust on the dirt road flying in, and the outside of the carriage was yellow and cloudy, and the vision was very poor, Jin An hurriedly put down the curtain to block the loess in the outside world.

The carriage traveled for another while, and after the road was not too bumpy, Jin An lifted the curtain again.

This time it was better outside the carriage, although there was still yellow dust flying, but because of the leeward relationship, it was not as uncomfortable as before.

Now the carriage is halfway up the mountain, and it is hurrying down the mountain.

From the location of Jin'an, it happens to be seen that at the foot of the mountain, there is a large open land, the fields are long, the sky is connected to the earth, the water is clear, and the surrounding green mountains are embraced, setting off the calm and peaceful field scenery.

According to the words of the old Taoist, this is a treasure land of feng shui, Lingqian Township is backed by five mountains, due north is a horse Pingchuan, every day the sunshine is sufficient, this is a feng shui treasure land for placing yang houses, called Wufu Linmen,

Although Jin An doesn't understand the feng shui of the old Taoist, it can be adjusted.

But just looking at the scenery of the fields at the foot of the mountain from a distance did open his mind and body a lot.

I heard that if people are open-minded, disaster is far away.

As he got closer and closer to Lingqian Township, Jin'an also saw that on all sides of Lingqian Township, there were high walls erected, showing irregular rectangles

Those high walls are also built with simple wall stacks, which can easily prevent the invasion of bandits and bandits.

In Lingqian Township, there are two largest Zhuangzi.

A big village is very popular.

The other large village, which covers an area half the size, is empty, and there is not even a single figure in sight.

Jin An's mind moved.

It seems that the unmanned Zhuangzi is the house of the Zhang family.

As the carriage kept moving and changing directions, Jin An also saw the situation of Zhangjiada Zhuangzi from multiple angles.

It was a three-hall courtyard.

Mansion Gate.

Pendulum door.

Outer courtyard, inner courtyard.

Wing room, ear room, lower room, main room, kitchen......

In the inner courtyard there is also a small flower pavilion with lush trees.

Just when Jin An was about to turn his gaze to the He family's ancestral house, suddenly, his gaze froze.

I don't know when a famous old monk stood in the Zhangjia Zhuangzi, and the old monk also saw the mighty convoy of Mrs. He's family, and calmly watched the convoy enter Lingqian Township.

Lingqian Township is said to be big and big, not big or big, I have heard the introduction of the eldest lady, the population of Lingqian Township is about more than 1,000 households.

A central axis runs through the entire Lingqian Township.

As soon as the convoy entered Lingqian Township, it found that the atmosphere in Lingqian Township was a little wrong, it was too calm here, and it was rare to see a few people along the way.

Popularity is sluggish.

The doors of many shops are closed.

This looks like there has been a lot of trouble recently, and many people have fled from Lingqian Township.

The convoy continued to move forward in Lingqian Township, if you want to go to the ancestral house of the He family, you must pass through the Zhangjia Zhuangzi, when the convoy passes through the Zhangjia Zhuangzi, you see the Zhuangzi gate that was originally sealed by the government, and the seal has been torn off at this moment.

Jin An couldn't help but think of the old monk he saw in the Zhangjia Zhuangzi when he was halfway up the mountain before.

His eyes groaned.

He performed a qi looking technique on the Zhang family's big Zhuangzi, and as a result, this hope made him very surprised.

The convoy just passed by Zhangjiada Zhuangzi, and did not stop along the way, and continued to rush to the ancestral house of the He family, but since he had performed a lookout on Zhangjiada Zhuangzi, Jin An's brows on the next journey had not been loosened.

He seemed to have made some unexpected discovery in Zhangjiadazhuangzi.

The convoy passed through the streets of the depressed popularity, and when they came to the ancestral house of the He family, they finally saw a lot of living people, and many people in the ancestral house of the He family immediately came out to greet them.

When they saw the eldest lady get out of the carriage, the He family cheered, and many people had smiles on their faces.

Jin An felt that the smiles of these people were more of a relieved smile.

It's like finding the backbone all at once.

And when they saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest, a combination of an old man and a young Taoist, these He family members all looked at them curiously.

Since Jin An practiced martial arts, his five senses were keen, and he heard these subordinates secretly discussing them.

"These two Dao Chiefs are the masters invited in the Fucheng that the eldest lady sent someone to notify in advance?"

"What do I think of that young Taoist priest, like a monk and more like a Taoist priest?"

"But the old Taoist who took the lead has a sense of immortal spirit in the world, and the young Taoist should be the disciple of the old Taoist, right?"

The voices of these subordinates were quickly attracted by the third carriage.

The carriage was larger and more spacious than the carriage in which the eldest lady sit, but it was always covered by a curtain, which cut off the eyes of the outside world, and no one inside was seen coming down.

Was it because there was no one in the third carriage?

Everyone began to wonder what was in this third carriage?

The eldest lady did not delay the time on these side matters, she took Jin An, the old Taoist priest and others, and came to the inner courtyard of the He family in a familiar car to meet the old man of the He family directly.

The old man of the He family is an old man with a tough body, and beside the old man, there are several old people who are similar to the old man He and are of similar age.

Jin An secretly speculated that these people should be the brothers of Old Man He, and they were also the real leaders of the He family.

This is obviously a family meeting of the top of the He family.

The eldest lady waved away the two maids beside her, but did not let Jin An, the old Taoist, the sword sharpening, and Li Huwei leave, it is obvious that the eldest lady does not shy away from this family meeting that is related to the life and death of the He family.

The eldest lady thought that the four outsiders present were the ones she trusted the most.

"Little brother, look at the old man sitting next to Old Man He, the conjugal palace is covered by black gas, and the adulterous door in the corner of his eye is broken, which means that the life of the husband and wife has come to an end, and he has just divorced his wife. And it represents the heavy black gas of the Wealth Palace, indicating that it is the time when there is the most money to spend when you have encountered things recently. Looking at his black Yintang again, he has been unlucky recently, and the whites of his eyes are green silk, which shows that this bad luck has made him worry in his old age. ”

"I dare to bet on a bowl of haggis noodles, this person must be the uncle who was cuckolded by evil and obscenity. ”

Jin An and the others are from the eldest lady's side, so they naturally sat on the eldest lady's side, and the old Taoist priest secretly pulled the corner of Jin An's clothes, and whispered with eyebrows.

When more than a dozen people were seated, after a brief introduction, Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise, and was guessed by the old Taoist priest.

That person was really Uncle He Gui, whose name was He Liangchou.

Some of these people in the house are the brothers of Old Man He, and some are the sons of Old Man He or the sons of several brothers of Old Man He.

are all high-level members of the He family.

"Father-in-law, I got Zhao Hong's report, and immediately rushed back to the He family's ancestral house, and I was delayed on the road for a few days, I don't know what is the situation of the Zhang family and the Zhang family now?"

"On the way here, I saw an old monk in the empty Zhangjia Zhuangzi, is that the old monk the senior monk invited by Yali from the White Dragon Temple in Fucheng this time?"

The eldest lady asked Old Man He.

Old man He: "Yes, the monk is indeed a senior monk from Bailong Temple, his name is just arrived this morning, half a day earlier than your daughter-in-law and the two Taoist leaders." ”

Although the literati are light.

But Old Man He became more and more open-minded the more he lived, even in the face of a young Taoist like Jin An, he was commensurate with his Taoist appearance and polite, and he did not rely on the old and sell the old because Jin An was young, and despised Jin An.

"As for the people of the Zhang family, there is also Zhang Xiang... According to Mr. Yuan, the Zhang family raises tigers, and dozens of people should have entered the mouth and belly of the ghost fetus in Zhang's belly. ”

"Mr. Yuan is a master of the world among the antique dealers who came to Lingqian Township, and it is this Mr. Yuan who discovered the truth that Zhang's ghost was pregnant and stole children to eat in Lingqian Township. ”

"Oh?"

The eldest lady looked around at everyone in the house: "I have been in the ancestral house for so long, why haven't I seen this worldly master, Mr. Yuan, and his antique dealers?"

"We also think it's strange to talk about it. ”

This time, it was another old man sitting next to Master He, who was the eldest brother of Old Man He and He Liangchou of Uncle He

Next, the eldest lady, Jin An and others learned about what had happened in the last few days.

It turned out that the gang of antique dealers had disappeared in Lingqian Township for several days.

Since the day when they took the initiative to exorcise evil spirits, the group of antique dealers were in Lingqian Township, and they could still see people for the first two days.

Busy in and out of the mountains near Lingqian Township every day, and living in the ghostly Zhang family's big village every night, it looks like he is really seriously looking for the disappeared Zhang family.

But on the third day of the overnight stay in Zhangjiada's Zhuangzi, the gang of antique dealers disappeared inexplicably.

All are missing.

At first, the villagers were speculating whether the antique dealers were not good at learning and art, and the cowhide was blown loudly, and the Zhang family swallowed a piece of the skin, right?

Here's the blame.

Since then, Lingqian Township seems to have returned to calm, and I have not heard of any pregnant women who gave birth to stillbirths early, and it seems that the Zhang family has successfully exorcised evil spirits and no longer continues to steal children to eat.

I have not heard of anyone missing or having their poultry bitten to death.

In this way, it should be that the exorcism has been successful, and the Zhang family, who is pregnant with a ghost fetus, has been subdued by Mr. Yuan, a master in the gang of antique dealers.

But if the exorcism was really successful, why did the antique dealers suddenly say goodbye?

According to normal logic, shouldn't it be that the wealthy He family asks for a good reward, and then makes the villagers of Lingqian Township grateful and continue to buy antiques in Lingqian Township?

That's why the He family felt strange.

It doesn't make sense.

Just when He Gui's uncle He Liangchou spoke, the old Taoist priest kept staring at him, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, when He Liangchou finished speaking, the old Taoist priest asked He Liangchou: "Yintang is black, and the tail of his eyebrows is also divergent, which is obviously a sign of bad luck." The lower lip is sunken, the corners of the mouth are deflated, this is the loss of fortune, day by day, black lines gradually emerge in the person, indicating that the loss of fortune is slowly overcoming the master, slowly forcing people into a desperate situation, maybe not immediately forced into a desperate situation in a short time, but in the end it is still impossible to escape the disaster......"

"Logically speaking, this is a sign of being haunted by unclean things, but the old way I look at this donor, there are no black lines in the whites of his eyes, it's strange, this donor, have you encountered anything strange around you recently?"

The words of the old Taoist priest can be said to be very unlucky.

It's displeased.

"This Daoist Chen, Zhang's slut, should have been exorcised at this time, and there are still some unclean things that can entangle me. I, He Liangchou, have done things above board all my life, and if I don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of evil people knocking on the door in the middle of the night. ”

The old cow eats tender grass and eats five green "uncles" He Liangchou on the top of his head, and he is confident.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, don't blame the uncle, I'm straightforward, the origin of these two Taoist leaders, have you figured out the niece and daughter-in-law?"

"Don't end up with a fortune when the time comes. ”

Maybe it was because he was driven back to the countryside by the eldest lady, He Liangchou has always complained about the eldest lady, and his speech was slightly prickly.

The eldest lady and Jin An are both well-cultivated people, but they are not aggressive towards the old man who has one foot in the coffin, they all trust the old Taoist priest (Chen Daochang)'s eyes, and they will never look at the wrong person, so they all look at the old Taoist priest (Chen Daochang).

Want to hear what the other person has to say?

The old Taoist priest is not a person who is afraid of things.

Originally, because he was eager to save people, he spoke a little straight, and he was a little apologetic in his heart, but at this time, He Liangchou was almost pointed at his nose and scolded him for being a charlatan, and the old Taoist priest with a good face was not in a hurry to save people at this time, and planned to give He Liangchou a little hardship.

So he said with a blank face: "I said, donor, you look like an evil spirit, but it doesn't necessarily look like an evil spirit, you think about it carefully, have you encountered anything strange around you recently?"

"The lower lip is sunken, the corners of the mouth are deflated, black lines gradually emerge in the middle of the person, the fortune is damaged, day by day is not as good as the day, slowly forcing people into a desperate situation, this fortune is damaged, and there are several situations, such as what has been done recently to damage the yin virtue?"

"Or get entangled in something unclean?"

"Or was someone borrowed your fortune?"

"Of course, according to what the donor said, you don't do bad things, and you are not afraid of evil people knocking on the door in the middle of the night, since you are not entangled in evil spirits, nor do you do things that lack yin virtue, then there is only one left, donor, have you lent anything to outsiders recently?"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he finally reminded He Liangchou: "For example, I have lent my birthday, hair, nails, blood, dander, etc.......

Poof!

Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, He Liangchou, who was originally sitting on the Taishi chair with no regrets, fell to the ground with his legs straight.

Several old people in the He family were in a hurry, and they called for help, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and they were directly scared to death, and there was no big problem.

Now even Jin An is curious, what is the matter, what is He Liangchou lent to scare people like this?

This time it was He Gui's father, and Old Man He answered the questions in the hearts of Jin An, the eldest lady and others.

It turned out that He Liangchou not only borrowed things, but also put his birthday, hair, cut nails, blood, dandruff... It's all lent out.

And the people who asked him to borrow these things were actually the same group of antique dealers.

Now Jin An and the others are even more curious, why did that group of antique dealers borrow these things?

Why is the He family so relieved to lend to those outsiders of unknown origin?
