Huocheng in August was full of a murderous atmosphere, and there were several human heads hanging on the gatehouses of the four city gates that opened in all directions, although they were not as Manyun said, but they were still hideous so that outsiders did not dare to look at them directly.

In the open space in front of the Zhou Mansion in Xibei, the black pressure was crowded, but at this moment, it was solemn and silent. Because five or six out of ten of the people gathered here are from the Zhou clan, while the others are Huo Cheng's surnames that are attached to the Zhou family's tail all the year round.

The crowd that was still enthusiastic just now watched Li Zhixian trial all the way from the county office, and then followed the officials to Simen to hang the heads of the mountain bandits, and then came to the "and tie the boat" again.

Patriarch Zhou Tong stood in front of the door of the Great Zhou Mansion solemnly, looked around at the crowd gathered, looked back and bowed to Zhou Xian and other clan elders, and said in a deep voice to the people of Huocheng in front of him: "The Zhou clan has moved to Huocheng to establish Shaolian Hall for nearly 600 years, inheriting the legacy of the ancestors, and has always cherished the reputation of the family and is kind to the people...... But since last year, the clansmen have suffered many accidents, which makes Mingxi feel deeply ashamed......"

"It's not the patriarch's fault, it's those foreign bandits who don't take my Zhou clan seriously!" , There were rough men in the crowd who were not stingy and shouted directly, and they were quickly gagged by the people around them.

I didn't let me continue to say this, but everyone present had a clear understanding in their hearts.

When the case was openly tried in Li Zhi County, the bandits, the women who were found in the bandits' dens, and the second young master of the fifth room of the Great Zhou Mansion all testified that the mountain bandits in Liupanyan deliberately wanted to rob the Zhou family's happy car.

Previously. Zhou Quan of the Great Zhou Mansion was abducted, and Zhou Shen of the Little Zhou Mansion was tied up and his little finger was broken again and again. It also caused the surname of Zhou to be angry.

The Zhou clan has ancestors who have been marquis. has been a champion, although it is inevitable that there will be good and bad people who have caused trouble for several generations, but it is the first time that they have been slapped in the face again and again for no reason.

Huocheng's climate is warm, the land is fertile, and the environment of Chengping for a hundred years makes the people in the city want their young children to be dyed with the gentle and elegant fragrance of books, but at this moment, I have just seen the heads hanging high in the four gates, and then listened to the indignant statement of the patriarch, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in front of the "and tie the boat" boiled with blood and energy.

Zhou Tong bowed his head with tears. Not long after retreating to Zhou Xian and the other old men, a young figure in a dark blue robe immediately jumped up the steps.

"The thieves are making trouble, just to deceive my Zhou family! My Zhou clan has the articles of Wende Gong and Wenchang Gong through the ages, as well as the brilliant annals of Zeting Hou. When Hu rode south, it was the Marquis of Zeting who led 300 clan warriors to defend Huo City, behead the enemy, and then follow my Chen Dynasty ancestor to build immortal achievements. Now that there are foreign thieves insulting me, how can the Zhou man be restrained as a mermaid, and he is willing to protect the peace of the family with a weak body. Lift the three-foot Qingfeng and kill the thieves! ”

The impassioned cheers were immediately echoed by a group of young people.

Zhou Tong, Zhou Xian and others, who were originally standing in front of the Great Zhou Mansion, had retreated to the Great Zhou Mansion at some point, and the "boat" became an ocean of passion composed of young and middle-aged people.

"Brother Chen, it's up to you to take the lead! This time, if it weren't for your insight and opportunity, I would have protected the third sister. I have no shame to face my ancestors and ancestors! ”

"Yes! Zhou Chen has killed a thief, just him! ”

Zhou Chen, who shouted after Zhou Tong at the beginning, was surrounded by the clansmen, and only blushed. Arrangements began to be made for the registration of names. In the response to the shouting just now, the training of the Zhou clan regiment, which seemed to have been driven by enthusiasm, quickly began according to the arrangement that had already been calculated.

Li Zhixian, who had just received the news a few days ago that a thief had burned down the county government and several wealthy households in Hezhou, turned a blind eye to the acquiescence. Referring to Zetinghou's method of organizing Xiangyong back then, there are a group of old men supporting him behind his back. Everything is going according to the established order.

Zhou Chen's eyes burned with a small flame that kept beating, and his fists clenched even tighter. Although he is not sure whether the future will really be as chaotic as Grandpa predicted, at this time he has lit a fire in his heart, and the flames are surging and burning his father Zhou Bai's words.

Only cowards will believe those nonsense, Zeting Marquis is not long, Wenchang Gong is not a concubine, but their names are still written into the history books!

"Xiao Zhou's family pushed Zhou Chen from the second room out?" , Xiao Hong looked at the situation at the door of the Great Zhou Mansion and asked the shopkeeper and others beside him.

"Yes! The boat is small and good to turn around, Zhou Chen belongs to the small Zhou Mansion and is not a long-term heir, if the official family asks, a sentence of young people gathering people out of righteous indignation will be explained. The chubby shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "The son suggested that the sixth lady of the Zhou family be a thief, and the Zhou family will make this gesture at this time, and let Zhou Chen go to the sixth girl at that time?" ”

"The previous advice to Zhou Manyun only focused on her family's geographical advantage, but he forgot that they still occupied people. Secretly being a thief and plotting to assassinate and poison is after all a surprise attack, but it is not the right way in the end. The eldest brother often scolded me for taking the sword sideways, which violated the way of righteousness. ”

Lu Harizi glanced sideways at Xiao Hong, and when he saw that his expression was sincere and serious, he immediately rolled his eyes and sighed deliberately: "If the Zhou family supports Zhou Chen, they will inevitably have to transfer people and things from the hands of the six girls, I don't know if the six girls will feel sad and disappointed." At that time, the Marquis of Zeting led the three hundred tribesmen, that is, the history books said that there was a team composed of servants behind the three hundred tribesmen.

"No, it won't! Zhou Manyun is not such a stingy girl. Perhaps, it was her idea. Xiao Hong responded calmly, his smiling face shining in the sun.

Look, we guessed well, the six girls of the Zhou family in the eyes of the master are different. Lu Harrier smiled implicitly, squeezed a glance at the horse's face, and immediately the guard Zhang who was standing behind Xiao Hong stretched his big long face longer.

Throughout August, Xiao Hong spent almost all of his time in Lu Harrier's seemingly unintentional praise of Zhou Manyun. Although after a few times, Xiao Hong found that something was wrong, but one was that Lu Harizi was an old man who had followed his father for generations, and the other was that those words sounded quite pleasant, so he pretended to go with him without knowing it.

"People in the world hear a lot of chanting scriptures, so they naturally follow a few words of Amitabha, and after a long time, they only think that they are true believers." At the Peach Blossom Ferry on August 29, Zhou Manyun, who was dressed in gray boy's clothes, was next to Hongmei, who was also dressed. Wrinkled a little nose and commented heartily.

"Miss! Don't dare to talk nonsense! Hongmei's little hand immediately covered Zhou Manyun's mouth. Then they pulled her and bowed down to the top of the Buddha boat passing from Fangxi.

Around them were the people of Huocheng, who were also extremely devout.

The nine Buddha boats going up the river were just the fleets of the Xiaozhou Mansion's Shunyi boats, but they were entrusted by the Guangshan Temple in Shinshu to transport the nine relics of Master Lifan, who passed away a few months ago, to the Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou.

The appearance of the Buddha ship is very sufficient, gilt and inlaid with copper, and it looks golden from a distance. At this time, I passed through the peach blossom crossing. Knowing that there were good believers at the ferry, there was a row of monks on the Buddha boat who did not plan to stay in Huocheng, sitting cross-legged and praying for the people with the same scriptures.

The nine-ring Zen staff placed on the side of the monks, and the seven treasures that can only be played by the combined efforts of several small novices, are full of weight.

This time, Guangshan Temple sent relics to Kaiyuan Temple, and such a huge momentum is also related to the secret story of the monk who passed away. According to legend, the identity of this master is the lay family, Song Zhe, the champion of the Xinwei year of the Wuzong Dynasty, who was originally born in the Song family of the Suzhou family. In the year of his establishment, he was able to break through life and death, and he faked his death and avoided Shinshu, where he practiced Buddhism and achieved a complete merit, and formed eighteen rare relics as jade as jade behind him.

The Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou in the north is said to be at the time of the death of Master Fan. Some senior monks have a feeling in their hearts, and they ask people to go south to Guangshan Temple to weep and welcome the master to return home. Guangshan Temple happily agreed, and there was a grand event for the Buddha ship to go north.

Jiangnan is rich and rich, and loves to worship Buddha and monks. I also love talented people more. Listening to the specious story, some people immediately rushed to help Guangshan Temple send the relics north. Not only that, but also Baoshan's good faith donated a large amount of copper goods. It is necessary to follow along the river and cast a bronze bell for Kaiyuan Temple.

Although most of the stories created for the copper goods were written by Man Yun, she still couldn't help but sigh in her heart at this time when she sent the shining Buddha boat away.

Without Grandpa's approval and support, the story of using Song Zhe's identity would not be publicized, but according to Zhou Xian, he was following Song Zhe's last wish to give an explanation to his relatives and friends and the world. At the time of his death, Master Fan, who was already detached, would not mind returning to his hometown.

There is also the Xiao family who wants to leave this batch of goods. Before Youyan returns to Han, collect the copper goods that will be strictly controlled in the future and go north, if it is not that there are unpredictable prophets in the Xiao family, or that they have a faster and more agile news channel than others. Both the former and the latter are scary.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Manyun inevitably has the same utilitarian power. She didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Hong anymore, and she was not interested in the future royal Xiao family, but if the Huocheng Zhou family could maintain an unprovoked cooperative relationship with the Xiao family like this, she thought it would still be good for the Zhou family.

This also coincides with Grandpa Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian told her to stay away from Xiao Hong, but she didn't prohibit the cooperation between Shunyi Boat and Shengping.

The bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle is for profit. Not far from each other, guarding against each other and cooperating with each other, can earn what you want is the right way. Who believes that the whole world is driven by the love affair between men and women?

It's just that Manyun still has some regrets, this time she still wants to kill two birds with one stone to kill two birds and take the opportunity to recover Xiao Wuyuan who is still in Guangshan Temple to the Zhou family, but she doesn't want the host of Guangshan Temple to just accept the money and agree to cooperate, Xianxiu took her apprentice to wander away in a dashing manner, and disappeared.

"Raw copper, monk copper! It's amazing that the six girls can come up with this idea, not only do we not have to lose money to deal with the officials along the road, but we can also receive offerings from believers on the road! On the deck of a Buddhist ship heading north along the river, Lu Harizi continued to do good deeds every day and read Zhou Manyun's benefits in Xiao Hong's ear.

"When this boat returns to Huocheng, I will send you to her?" , Xiao Hong, who finally had the upper layer of sunshine wheat on his face, asked very seriously.

Lu Harrier was speechless for a while, muttering a string of "What people want will be a half-old man like us......", and walked away.

"People don't need me!" , tightened the sail rope in his hand, and suddenly felt that the young man who was a little depressed in his heart ravaged his body and hooked a mast, looking towards the distant Jiangnan.

The surging river is white, and the green hills on both sides of the river slowly retreat from the side of the boat, moving with the water.

Abruptly on the top of a high mountain cliff beside the river, two monks, one tall and one short, are sending the Buddha boat to the north with their hands together. The little novice is handsome and beautiful, and the eyebrows of the middle-aged monk in Tsing Yi are drooping, and the tail of the eyebrows seems to have grown beyond the corners of his eyes.

"Wuyuan, let's go!" , Hyun-so watched the boat shadow go away, and softly called the little apprentice.

"Where are we going?" , Wu Yuan's little face was full of confusion.

"Come where you come, go where you go ......", the two monk shadows walking slowly seemed to have no destination at all.

Where did it come from? Where to go?

Regardless of monks and laymen, regardless of whether they are high or low, in the Lang Lang Qiankun, everyone who does not know their own cause and effect is using their own way to prove the traces of their existence in the world.
