Verse 37: The temple is small and the demon is windy

Send a guard to contact the local intelligence station, and the ship will pick up the transfer.

While waiting, Ma Ling and the others accompanied the three generals to practice martial arts.

Unexpectedly accepted the four generals, thinking that Wang Qing had arrived in Huaixi, Zhao Yue thought about it and asked Xiao Jiasui: "The big officials travel the world, do you know that there are those famous heroes in the two Huai?" ”

Xiao Jiasui understood, thought for a while, and said: "Jingxiang and Huai have been many heroes since ancient times. Sui has heard the words of Ergou, Erma, Erteng, Erjie, Erxie, Four Fierce, Four Evil, and Four Hao. ”

"Er Gou is the brother of Gou Huan and Gou Ying, the family is a big local family, the earliest famous, the most famous, brave and ruthless, unwilling to be subordinate, known as the god of Huaixi Ermen."

"The second horse is Ma Qiang and Ma Jin brothers. Er Teng is Teng Ji and Teng Ji brothers. The second jie is Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong. The second Xie is the brothers Xie Yu and Xie Ying of Nanfeng. Sui only heard of his name, and these people are said to be uncertain, and it is difficult to determine where they are. The four murderers are Baofeng's Wushun; Lu Cheng and Ni Wei of Wanzhou; Liang Yong of Jingnan. The four evils are Huang Jianzhang, Huang Zhongshi, Guo Gan, and Chen Yun of Ande. Erhuang is not a brother. All eight of them are said to have taken possession of the mountain and acted with cruelty. ”

As for the four tycoons, they refer to the four wealthy families of Jianghuai, Fan Quan, Ji Sansi, Liu Yijing of Yun'an, and Shangguanyi of Liangzhou. Among the four, only Fan is a literati. The other three are all capable. Sui had inadvertently fought with Shangguan Yi. His people make an iron hammer, his arm strength is outstanding, he is extremely brave, and he also has literary brilliance. ”

"If the second son has the heart to subdue these four people, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult. They are conceited and have a very high spirit, and the countryside is difficult to leave, and their roots are in Jianghuai, and they live a prosperous and happy life, and they have no motivation to change. ”

"The most famous ones are Qian Wei and Qian Yi; Xiao Yinfeng, Xiao Yinhuang, two pairs of brothers. They are all children of rich families, so that they can use guns and sticks, and they have not heard of deeds, but they are afraid that they may not really have great abilities because of their family strength. ”

Zhao Yue clearly remembered that Wang Qing's Ji Shan Army had two horses and two Tengs, and Yuan Lang.

"Have you ever heard of a man named Yuan Lang? Probably make a strange weapon called Laos. ”

Xiao Jiasui shook his head: "What Sui said is just to make a name for himself." There must still be many heroes hidden among the people of Jianghuai, but there are various reasons that are not visible to the world. ”

Liangshan received more than half of the one hundred and eight generals, bringing together a variety of professionals, but most of the rest were able to fight, either they didn't find it, or it was inconvenient to recruit them as an officer.

Zhao Yue felt that there were too few generals who could pick up the beam at the moment, and he was determined to take a trip to Lianghuai or even Jingxiang to try his luck. The heroes who saved that piece of land all followed Wang Qing when they arrived, but they were originally conscientious men but became fierce.

"Daguan, Yue went south this time to find four heroes who can do both water and land. They are Fei Bao of the red-bearded dragon, Ni Yun of the curly-haired tiger, Gao Qing of the Taihu Lake, and Di Cheng of the thin-faced Xiong. ”

Xiao Jiasui belonged to a penetrating person who knew the meaning of the strings, and immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The second son is determined to go to Jianghuai. Sui Yuan went to recruit the four heroes on behalf of the second son. ”

"Good. The big officials go, Yue Zi is relieved. I'll let Iron Rhino accompany you. He is clever, experienced when going out, and familiar with the contact point, so he is a companion on the road to be safe and convenient. ”

Xiao Jiasui was moved in his heart.

He originally thought that even if Zhao Yue gave him the task, he would send multiple good hands to follow and monitor.

This is also normal, after all, the two sides have only been in contact, and there is no substantive understanding, and what Cangzhao is planning is too important, so it is not possible to leak the slightest chance, and it is also appropriate to be cautious ten thousand times. Who knew that Zhao Yue actually trusted him so much, and almost completely let him do it himself.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing his excitement, Xiao Jiasui said solemnly: "Sui Xie Second Son's trust." If you can't complete the task on this trip, you are willing to take the lead. ”

Zhao Yue smiled: "Big officials, if I can't recruit them, if I lose you again, it will be a big loss." Just go safely, and don't have the pressure to become a benevolent if you don't succeed. The four men were said to be very assertive. I'm not sure, so I'll give it a try. Cheng Bucheng went to Zhoushan on time to train the soldiers who transferred the past here. That's the right thing. In the future, there will be more reliance, and you can't talk about life and death lightly. ”

Xiao Jiasui also smiled: "Sui remember." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and high-fived: "See you in Zhoushan." ”

Xiao Jiasui and Lu Tiexi left immediately.

Time was pressing, Zhao Yue arranged Fan Rui's passer-by, and immediately set off to turn to Lianghuai.

Hurry up and travel more than 20 miles, it is almost dark, but in front of you is a barren mountain range.

He hurried forward for a while, but there was still no one to be seen.

In this era, the population is small, and it is not like the world where you came, and when you go out, your eyes are full of people, and you are panicked, but there is no convenience of hotels everywhere. Camping in the wilderness? Or do you want to catch up and see?

Zhao Yue glanced as he walked, and suddenly pointed to the woods on the side of the road and said, "There seems to be a temple." ”

Everyone took a look, and sure enough, a little eaves flying ridge was faintly revealed in the forest.

Find a deserted path and go in to see, the temple is not small, but it has been dilapidated, fortunately it is built of stone and cement, it is still very strong, the wooden windows are mostly broken, the window paper remains, there are large and small holes, the gate is still intact because of the thickness, and it is still closed, it seems that someone did it intentionally.

Wu Neng dismounted and opened the door, and Zhao Yue took a look, it turned out to be a deserted mountain temple.

The statue of the mountain god has been partially stripped to reveal its true color, the whole is carved in stone, although it is not delicate but carved out of the spirit, the bare legs are naked, the muscle lines are exaggerated, the feet are like animal claws, the waist is carved with leopard skin, one hand holds an unknown flower, the other hand holds a snake staff, and the tiger that roars with its head roared under the seat, looks at the face of the mountain god, the bloody mouth and fangs, the eyes are bursting, the ears are long, and the face is extremely hideous.

This temple must have been very prosperous in the past when it was of this scale.

There was no one in the temple. When I went in, I saw that the kang shop in the wing room was still good, and it was covered with thick hay. The grass is still fresh, and someone must have spent the night here not too long ago.

Looking at the fire pit again, the ash fire marks also prove that there are people who use it regularly.

"There is no place for birds in front of the village, and there is no store behind the village, and passers-by should cherish this as a foothold."

Ma Ling guessed at random.

Zhao Yue nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Let's stay with the mountain god general tonight." ”

It was still very cold in March, and the breeze was swishing like a knife, especially at night. It is better to have a house to live in, no matter how dilapidated it is, than to stay in a thin military tent in the open field.

Everyone is used to doing things outside, and they are used to it, and they don't care about this hardship, and they are all bold and heroic, and they are not afraid of the horror of the gods, and they are accustomed to finding firewood and water, cooking and feeding the horses.

The guards took out their camping equipment and spread them on the kang or sat or lay down to relieve fatigue, laughing and chatting, and passing the bedtime before bedtime.

Zhao Yue, Ma Ling, and Lu Tieniu walked in front of the temple.

Behind the temple, there is a vicissitudes of life locust tree standing alone in the wild grass, which should have grown for hundreds of years.

Zhao Yue looked at the ancient trees with their branches fluttering, listened to the sharp and mournful whistling of the canopy in the cold wind, and the wolf howls from time to time in the mountains, and clearly felt a hideous and terrifying atmosphere.

He couldn't help but think of a movie he had seen in his previous life.

Roadside wild forests, ancient trees, barren grass, deserted ancient temple Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Montenegro old demon, Taoist priest, cold wind, ghosts crying wolves, gloomy everything

The environment is too similar. If you want to make a movie, you don't have to re-set it.

Zhao Yue glanced at the darkening and darkening sky, and said with a smile: "It's really a temple demon!" ”
