The so-called 'birds are dying, and their songs are also mourning; There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but there is a precondition: that is, in the depths of this person's soul, the last trace of good thoughts needs to be kept.

And in the eyes of the altar master, whose soul has been 'purified', the whole world is just a life-and-death Shura field, and there is no kind character and the brilliance of human nature at all. Therefore, as far as the two confessions of Ma Laohan and the altar owner are concerned, Shen Gui is more willing to believe the latter.

It's not that the old man who has a lot of blood debts is nobler and purer than the altar master; It was because Ma Laohan firmly believed in his heart that he, the king of Yama, who was asking for his life, would not be angry with his son because of his guilt. As long as he is willing to believe in the existence of justice, then the light of justice will definitely shine on their father and son.

For Ma Shishi, who is unaware, justice will give him Li Le'an's best to heal; And for Ma Laohan, who aided in the abuse, justice will also make him pay the price of his life for his despicable behavior.

Ma Laohan, who was willing to die, called his righteous son Xiang Mancai and explained to him what happened after his death. He not only instructed Xiang Mancai to take over the position of his village head, but also instructed him to do the first thing after taking office was to smash the 'golem' of Huayu Tianshen from house to house; moreover, he also set the last village rule in this life for Tiger Neck Village: no fasting monks, no accepting Tao, no talking about ghosts and gods, and no vain cultivation of magic methods.

As for the Ma Shi who overdosed, in fact, as Li Le'an said, she was not completely sure in her heart. However, before leaving, she still left a map of acupuncture points, and instructed the women in the center of the village to use silver needles to stimulate the reflex points around his body every day, as shown in the picture, and slowly regulate them with the prescription of clearing and detoxification. As for when Ma Shishi will wake up and whether he can wake up in this life, I can only hope for God!

From Yanjing City, which is located in the north of Yanzhou, to Chang'an City, which is located in the hinterland of Sanqin, the straight-line distance on the map is about 2,200 li; If you choose the official road and take the nearest and safest imperial post road, in fact, everyone should go straight to the southwest.

But after leaving Tiger Neck Village, everyone had to take a turning back road, heading straight to the northeast in the opposite direction of their destination. Now the road under their feet is the official road leading to the direction of Julu County.

In fact, in terms of geographical location, whether it is Shunde Mansion in the west or Yecheng in the south, they are far larger than Julu County, and the transportation is more convenient. Because the Shunde Mansion is adjacent to the Central Plains and the land of the Three Jin Dynasty; Yecheng is not only a strategic point at the forefront of Yanzhou, but also a large city that can be compared with 'Shimen City, the capital of Yanzhou'.

However, the heart of being a thief is weak, the courage to steal things, the land of Sanjin has been the base camp of northern merchants since ancient times, and by the way, Shunde Mansion, which also 'lives next to each other', has been "pulled" into a big trading city;

It can be seen that although these two places are obviously thousands of times better than Julu County, they are by no means suitable for the Huashen Sect to participate in them. And don't think that Shunde Mansion doesn't have the hardcore henchmen of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, and the Heavenly God Sect can do anything wrong! That is the sphere of influence of the Jin merchants, and compared to the Yecheng guarded by Cai Ning, who is a battlefield leader, it is definitely not safe!

Since the people of the Huashen Sect can transport tobacco and soil in Julu County in a grand manner, then they are at least wearing the same pants as the county prince of Julu County. In other words, this imperial fan in Shen Gui's pocket not only cannot be regarded as the 'Shang Fang Sword', but it can also cause the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry, and bury the other four 'remnants of the same party' of the 'Imperial Court Criminals' in this Julu County!

Everyone drove the lost carriage slowly, and less than two hours later, they saw the low earthen city wall of Julu County from a distance. Shen Gui stretched out his hand and patted the carriage, and Qi Yan, who was driving, also stopped the horse with understanding.

"Wake up, we're here. You yourself drive into the city in a carriage, and sneak into the wild geese in the dark, and touch the bottom of this Julu County. The three of us were waiting in the tea shed outside the city. In addition, Dayan, you have to be extra careful when you sneak into the official mansion, if this county lord is really secretly colluding with the people of the Huashen Sect, then in the back hall of the county government, there are likely to be some scum in charge of staying behind. Neither of you is very skilled, so don't fight anyone! We'd rather get nothing than be greedy for merit. ”

Just as the previous altar master explained, in the Huashen Sect, there are still some outlaws who lick blood from the knife, and now they are called 'Demon Suppression Venerables'. Don't look at these people, they are all the bottom three of the three indiscriminate, but no matter how inferior their conduct and how morally corrupt, it does not represent the level of their ability. Although Qi Yan has made outstanding achievements, he has too little experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and it is easy to act rashly when encountering problems; When Qi Hui was a child, although he also traveled through the Taibai Mountains and forests with his two brothers; But judging from his current body, I'm afraid it will never have anything to do with the word 'martial arts'.

After the Qi brothers left, Shen Gui, who was dressed as a son, took Li and Yan, two 'beautiful wives and concubines', and walked into a tea shed in front of the city gate together.

But in any important trading town, there are many such tea sheds outside the city. For whatever goods are entered, they must pay taxes; And this Julu County is just a transit station for merchants, not the main sales market, so many people will be accustomed to cutting goods outside the city gate in order to save freight costs.

"From afar, there are several heavy passes, clouds and flying sand; Xiaoqing came to Huangliangke from afar, and rode a horse and a sword into Beishan. This Julu County is worthy of being a battleground for the ancient soldiers, and it has the killing spirit of the Golden Iron Horse! After stepping on this ancient battlefield, I seem to smell the heroic blood that has been lingering for thousands of years! ”

The people who were chatting and laughing in this small tea shed, in addition to those thinly dressed and sturdy laborers, there were also many 'private teeth' with a cuff pulled up, and they were in contact with business. Now that everyone saw a scholar with two young and beautiful women walking into the tea shed, they were naturally attracted to attention.

Yes, as Shen Gui himself said, this Julu County is an ancient battlefield; Therefore, for thousands of years, those scholars who love the style of Biansai often come here to 'collect style'. But these literati usually only haunt here in spring and autumn. First, the scenery of spring and autumn is different; Second, it is too hot in summer and too cold in winter. It's true that they like the poetry of the Biansai style, but they don't want to live that hard life! The scenery of 'the desert is lonely and the sun sets over the long river' is certainly very beautiful, but if you do a field investigation, it will definitely not be able to resist the beautiful wives and concubines at home, and the small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard are more pleasant......

This is the shrewdness of those 'Ye Gong Good Dragons'.

And a sour literati like Shen Gui who came out to travel in the 'Sanjiu cold wind', at least in the eyes of the locals of Julu, is indeed a novelty! Isn't it, as soon as Shen Gui and the three of them sat down, a private tooth who had cleaned up his head and face, and although his clothes were also sewn, he would never lose his clean and decent teeth......

"This son is polite, he is a local of Julu, named Yu Dong, and he makes a living by 'selling errands' on weekdays. The villain saw that the prince had an extraordinary bearing, and he had a strong bookish atmosphere, so he must be a disciple of a saint who came to visit the local terroir. Although the villain has no talent and no virtue, fortunately, in this acre of three-point land, he is barely a transparent person! I don't know if the prince is a newcomer to the giant deer, but there is something he can serve below? ”

The reason why Shen Gui 'sighed with emotion' was simply to attract others to talk to him. Now Yu Dong, who is attracted by him, although he is only a 'private tooth', but from his words and sentences, it has already shown that he is not a vulgar and stupid person.

"Brother Yu is polite! I don't know what kind of reward I need to pay if I really need Brother Yu to 'mention it from the side'? ”

"Son, you are too polite, if you are fortunate enough to walk with you, you can always hear the high opinions of the virtuous brother, it is a great opportunity to increase your knowledge, so why talk about yellow and white things? Take a walk, Yu will take you into the city to find an inn, and after settling down, he will take you to eat some local specialties. If Childe is a good drinker, then you should even more taste our 'mud pit burning' here...

When Shen Gui heard this, he also understood what the other party was doing for a living. This Yu Dong is actually just a 'tour guide'. Don't look at him who doesn't take the silver directly from his own hands, but no one will work for others in vain, and the wool will always come out of the sheep. If Shen Gui walked with him, no matter how he ate, drank, moved, sat and lay in Julu County, even if he only spent a copper plate, he would not lose Yu Dong's share.

After thinking about this, Shen Gui also shook the Wensheng fan in his hand and beckoned to Yu Dong, who stood up:

"Don't be in a hurry, Qi Mou came to this Julu County, he came for Sanmei, this food, wine and beautiful scenery, Qi Mou must have to appreciate it! However, I came from afar, and I had already drunk the dust on the road, but now my body is a little tired, and I have to rest for a while, so I can only bother Brother Yu to stay for a while! ”

Yu Dong's face was slightly red after hearing this, and he felt a little anxious, so he hurriedly walked back and apologized repeatedly...... But at this moment, a cold snort came from the crowd of rough men who were working hard:

"Hmph, Yu Dong! I didn't expect you kid to really have shit luck! I wanted to eat ice, and hail began to fall in the sky! I remember you haven't opened for dozens of days, but today you caught a big fat sheep! Good job! Brothers, they're all waiting for you! ”
