When the bookkeeper saw that the door of the hall was all open, and that the person who looked like a living ghost had gone, someone in the courtyard spoke again, claiming to be handling the case, although he did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but the door was all open, and it was useless to be afraid. While agreeing, he found the fire and lit the lamp.

Sun Haotian waved his hand to Wan Liutang, walked into the cabinet room alone, and said to the bookkeeper: "Don't be afraid, there is no relationship between you. I've ruined two cylinders of color for you because the thieves have ruined them, and here are five emperor dollars, so I'll compensate you! We deliberately let him escape first, so that we could follow him to his lair so that we could capture them all. Don't make a noise outside tomorrow, because the local officials know about it, and it's not good for you. ”

The bookkeeper insisted on refusing to accept the money, Sun Haotian threw the emperor yuan to them, turned over, and saw that the junior brother and the owner of the nunnery had returned to the store, and he also flew into the room. Turning back to the store, I tiptoed back to the store, and saw that the owner of the nunnery and the junior brother had sat down and talked lightly. At this time, it was already about five watches, so he said to the master of Wanliutang and Ciyun Nunnery: "Tonight's battle is full of cold and courage!"

Wan Liutang said: "These two newly dyed red and green thieves are enough to make their phoenix tail gang colored." ”

It's funny to think of each other being embarrassed by the bandits. At this time, Situ Qian and Zuo Heng also came out of the inner room, and the female disciple cultivator in the wing room also came over to inquire about the master. Hearing the humiliation of the bandits, the master of Ciyun Nunnery said: "Don't you think that our handling is ridiculous, the bandits who came this time are not all ordinary people, but there are two of them who are very good at cultivation. If you despise the Phoenix Tail Gang, you will suffer a big loss. ”

Sun Haotian said: "Master of the nunnery, I see that our hidden house has been revealed tonight, and some of the shopkeepers and customers are secretly peeping at us. We get up as soon as the morning breaks, so that we don't have that kind of unnecessary entanglement with them. Let's get on a ride first, and then freshen up at noon!"

The master of Ciyun Nunnery said: "I also think of this layer, so it is better to leave early." I also thought that we monks and laymen walking together was quite eye-catching. Our master and apprentice must take the first step, let's go our separate ways!"

Sun Haotian said: "That's fine, but we still have to echo each other along the road, no matter who knows the traces of the bandits, they must send each other information in order to respond." ”

Wan Liutang said: "As long as we go, we will draw a secret mark on the wall where we go, so that it will not be difficult to find each other." The master of Ciyun Nunnery nodded, and ordered the female disciple to cultivate and hurry back to the wing room to clean up. Sun Haotian also asked Situ Qian to pack the package. Everyone has cleaned up, and it is dawn.

At this time, the store was already up. The shopkeeper didn't go to clean the courtyard first, but rushed to the room, wanting to check the traces of Sun Haotian and the others first, and whether they had hurt anyone at night? As soon as they entered the room, they saw that the owner of Ciyun Nunnery and the two old men were all sitting neatly dressed, and their expressions were natural, and they did not dare to ask if they had had an accident at night.

Sun Haotian said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper! You have settled our food account, and we are going to get up." ”

The shopkeeper said, "What are you busy with? The kitchen is boiling water, can you wait?"

Wan Liutang said: "The shopkeeper should be wordy! We have something important to get up urgently." ”

Seeing Wan Liutang's expression, the shopkeeper didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly turned around and went to the account room to settle the account.

The master of Ciyun Nunnery immediately stood up and said to Senior Brother Sun Haotian: "The poor nun master and apprentice have taken the first step. The four disciples cultivated nature, meditation, fate, and wisdom, and waited together, so they got up with the master of Ciyun Nunnery, went out of the Fu'an Inn, went straight to Longhua Town, and then went to Yiyang City. Here, Sun Haotian and the others also finished calculating the store accounts and got up immediately.

It was not long before dawn and the streets were deserted, except for a few peasants walking out of town. The four masters and apprentices walked out of the red clay slope and down the avenue. In the wilderness, the morning sun is up, the dew has not disappeared, the green trees, the tall and low crops, the green and green make people feel open-minded.

When I arrived in Hancheng Town, it was already the time of the card. The four masters and apprentices have not eaten and eaten since the morning, and as soon as they enter the town, they first look for a shop to fight, eat and rest, and inquire about the money and grain stores here in the market, whether they can exchange the imperial yuan?

Dare to love this Hancheng is a big town, there is a huge money village, and it specializes in dealing with farmers and big landlords in the countryside. All the village markets in this area are gathered here, and they are all deposited and borrowed from this bank, which is quite solid and stable.

Sun Haotian then exchanged all the Emperor Yuan obtained from the Goddess Peak for gold bars, rested in the store for a long time, and then got up from Hancheng. At this time, the fool Zuo Heng was refreshed, and he removed the silver box and suffered a lot less.

The four masters and apprentices hurried to the west of Rishi and arrived at Yiyang City. After staying in the city for one night, Situ Qian went to various shops in the city, as well as the nunnery and other places, and knew that the master and apprentice of Ciyun Nunnery did not live in this Yiyang City.

The next morning, he still got up early, and tried his best to follow the trail of the bandits, but there was no sign of it. Sun Haotian was very anxious, so he had to hurry up and cross Yishui. It was pointed on the small town of Dian, and went straight to the boundary mountain pass north of Song County and south of Yiyang County. Here is the junction of Funiu Mountain and Waifang Mountain, there is a mountain road, you can cross the past, a post road in the south of Ruzhou, you can go through both water and drought, you can go straight into Anhui from the Ru River.

Sun Haotian chose this road alone in order to track the bandits of the Fengwei Gang. After resting, it was already the beginning of the end of the Shen Dynasty, and when I arrived at the boundary mountain pass, I had already handed over the time. If you usually travel, you must first find a store to stay overnight before walking, although the mountain pass is a mountain road that crosses the belly of the mountain, there are also six or seven miles of mountain road. This master and apprentice took this bit of mountain tunnel to heart, and he didn't see any trace of the master and apprentice of Ciyun Nunnery in the past two days, so he was very worried, but fortunately, he had already rested all night, even if he could rush down overnight, the four masters and apprentices entered the boundary mountain pass.

This one entered the boundary mountain pass, walked into more than a mile, but could vaguely identify the road, and suddenly the mountain wind rose steeply.

Wan Liutang looked at the wind and said to Sun Haotian: "Senior brother, this is really bad, we might as well settle down on the other side of the mountain." The weather is raining, and we have no rain gear, so we have to get caught in the rain. ”

Situ Qian said on the side: "Uncle Shi, why don't we go back? It's much closer than the road through the mountain." ”

Sun Haotian snorted from his nose and said, "A young man doesn't grow up like this." It is common to enter the spiritual cultivation realm, eat and sleep in the open air, endure thirst and hunger, if you can't stand these hardships, you can only be comfortable at home as a son-in-law!"

What Situ Qian said, in fact, is not a violation of any rules, for no reason to ask the master to be so beaten, how dare he speak.

Zuo Heng was even more afraid of this uncle, so he hurriedly pulled Situ Qian, walked forward, left several feet, and said to Situ Qian in a low voice: "Senior brother, why are you so stupid, you don't look at the face of the uncle." You see you've been angry since last night. He was so anxious that he lost his temper because he couldn't find Senior Brother Wei's whereabouts, so don't talk more. It doesn't matter, when it rains, let's find a dense wood, or hide in a cave for a while, we have something to eat. ”

Zuo Heng said and patted the blade on his shoulder and said, "I have already prepared food here, and there are two catties of steamed buns here." I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid of hunger! Wherever I go, I always prepare food first, what are you afraid of, senior brother?"

Situ Qian nodded and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, you are not bad, I also know that the master is anxious about the affairs of the senior brother! But junior brother, you have two catties of steamed buns in your package, why didn't I see it?"

Zuo Heng smiled: "If I let the master see it, he will scold me for the rice bucket." I've flattened all the buns, how can you see that!"

When the two of them said this, they heard the sound of footsteps behind them, and when they looked back, they saw that it was the master and uncle who had arrived, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

Wan Liutang said to Situ Qian: "Your master is worried about your Senior Brother Wei in his heart, so he is very resentful. Hurry up under your feet, and we must cross the boundary pass before the rain falls. ”
