From the prefect to the elder, one of the people in the public gate of Dengzhou City is counted as one, and all of them have received the silver of Di Tingsan, and there are large and small shares, and no one wants to get involved in this case. As for how they should put this huge murder to rest, that's their own problem.

The reason why Shen Gui chose to sit in the Wanghai Tower was that in addition to having full confidence in his skills, the main reason was that he could not sail due to the wind and rain and the forbidden sea, so he could only sit in the dangerous city and wait quietly for the day when the wind and waves would be calm. However, there is more than one Wanghailou in Dengzhou City, and he is not interested in staying where he is and helping those soap officials who have received black money to complete the case; So when he broke Xu Tianchuan's neck bone, he immediately cheered up and dragged a fatal injury to leave this Wanghai Tower.

If there is any Jianghu people who don't value money and wealth so much, and don't want to be among the mainstream society, it should be the Huazimen people. Looking at the world, in any beggar's nest, except for those women with crippled limbs or no relatives and no reason, most of the gentlemen are either born lazy, or those liberals who live one day at a time and are unwilling to be restrained.

Of course, the rules of the rivers and lakes are also a kind of constraint; But this restraint is at least cloaked in a moral veneer; In their eyes, they can bring a feeling of warmth and security, and there is no hardness and coldness of the law. After all, these rules are constraints in their own hands.

There are several low mounds in Dengzhou City, which were originally opened up for the believers and pilgrims of Xuan and Shi, and established temples or Taoist temples respectively, providing places for the people of Dengzhou to burn incense and pray for life, life and death, burial and other activities. I don't know when the gentlemen of the Confucian school began to act in a more and more domineering manner: through a series of light and dark means, they completely cleaned up these clergy who served the Buddha and cultivated the Tao and alchemy from the Dengzhou Mansion; It's not just his Dengzhou Mansion family, now in the entire Ludong Road, there is only a Guoxing Temple in Jishui City, and a Qingxuguan, and the rest of the state and county governments are already the territory of the Confucian school.

Most of the Confucian schools established academies and schools in prime locations near the Yamen; For those vacated barren hills and mounds, there must be no interest in the slightest. Over time, these temples and Taoist temples that no one cared about became hidden places occupied by the three religions and nine streams.

And the rudder of the beggar gang in Dengzhou City is located in the ruins of a Taoist temple called Bixia Palace.

After escaping from Wanghai Tower, Shen Gui went straight to Bixia Palace in the south of the city; Tonight, the wind and rain were urgent, and Shen Gui was seriously injured at this time, and it was completely by relying on the last bit of clarity and stubbornness in his mind that he barely braved the torrential rain and came to the mountain gate of Bixia Palace:

"The official of the Wu family, come to hang Fan Laozu's regiment...... (The beggars of the Wu family came to seek help from the Fan family). ”

After exerting all his strength and shouting like this, Shen Gui's eyes went dark and he fainted in the muddy field at the foot of the mountain; At the same time, the dense forest at the foot of the mountain shook slightly, and two beggars with rotten mats and broken straw hats jumped out. After the two of them walked to Shen Gui's side, they exchanged glances at each other, and then they each took one of Shen Gui's arms and walked towards the mountain road with all their might......

I don't know how long it took, Shen Gui's mind gradually came to his senses; He hadn't opened his eyes yet, but he felt that his body was unusually warm and dry, except that the smell was not very good, it was even more comfortable than the guest room in Wanghai Tower. He thought about it carefully, remembered what he had done before he fell unconscious, and planned to continue pretending to be asleep, trying to find out as much as possible about his surroundings before making a plan.

"Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up, aren't you hungry?"

Just as Shen Gui pricked up one ear to eavesdrop, an old voice came from behind him; Shen Gui had to open his eyes when he heard this, and after moving his hands and feet slightly, he found that after the repeated baptism of fierce battles and torrential rain, the dense wounds of different sizes on his body were just painful and itchy, but the redness and swelling did not worsen, but there were signs of improvement!

After confirming that he was in good health, he turned his head to follow the prestige. I saw that in this slightly dilapidated Taoist temple, there was an extremely thin one-legged old beggar, who was sitting on a broken futon and holding a fire, and there was a large iron pot with a broken rim on the fire, which was tumbling and foaming......

"Uncle, where did I show my bottom?"

“… Where is the bottom exposed? Just now, your kid's snoring sound shook the sky, so big that my uncle couldn't hear the thunder outside, and now there are mosquitoes flying in his ears and eyes! ”

Shen Gui scratched his head embarrassedly, muttered in a low voice, "I usually sleep quite honestly......", and his hands carefully propped back on the ground, intending to sit up from the haystack......

"Don't move, don't mess with the medicine you just dressed! You know that for the sake of the two of you medicinal herbs, Little Brother Qi almost ransacked all the large and small medicinal herb shops in Dengzhou City! But it's also thanks to the two of you, at least within three years, this broken kiln mouth called Hanako is not short of medicinal materials! ”

After the one-legged old beggar said this, Shen Gui hurriedly craned his neck and looked around; He saw all the whole hall, except for himself and the one-legged old beggar; In many dark corners, there are still pairs of curious eyes; And on the other side of the fire, there was an old man with bare feet and a bare belly! With a bag of cigarettes in his left hand and a pot of wine in his right, he was leaning against the mottled pillar of the temple and looking at himself......

"Old Man Sheng? You've got ...... belly."

"If you don't move the knife for too long, your craftsmanship is rusty......"

"Where's Qi Yan?"

"The rule of Xiaoyimen is to steal rain and not snow, what do you think?"

“…… Then our wound medicine is also what he pondered? He may be okay with sweat medicine, but this healing ......"

Shen Guigang was halfway through speaking, and a clear voice came from behind the statue that couldn't see clearly:

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Shen Jushi doesn't need to worry, this medicine is prepared by the poor Dao, and it has nothing to do with Qi Jushi. ”

Shen Gui looked at the firelight, and saw that the person who spoke was a thin Taoist with a handsome spirit and eyes like a torch. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, and his true body had just emerged from behind the idol; He held a set of jade pounding pots and pestles in his hands, like a rabbit in the Moon Palace, grinding the Chinese medicinal materials of the mortar......

"Zhang Qingniu!"

"It's immeasurably real!"

This medicine brewing dao leader, who seems to be a rabbit into essence, turned out to be the current head of the Xuanyue Dao Palace-an immeasurable real person!

You must know that Xuanyue Dao Palace is located in Xuanyue Mountain in the land of Jingchu, and Ludong Dengzhou City is nearly 3,000 miles away; Coupled with his identity as Zhang Qingniu, and the current real person in charge, the significance of his departure from Xuanyue Mountain now is no less than that of His Majesty the Emperor's personal expedition! Presumably, his trip of 3,000 miles must not be as simple as acting as an emergency rescuer.

Shen Gui looked at the Taoist leader who suddenly appeared, and then thought of his senior brother Guan Beidou who was mixed with Di Ting, and immediately became angry:

"Zhang Qingniu, why don't you cultivate immortals on Xuanyue Mountain and ask, what kind of excitement are you here to make the world lively? What's wrong? Do you also want to follow Guan Beidou to eliminate demons and defend the Dao? Come to a touching drama of fighting tiger brothers? Don't look at me now, I'm injured, but it's more than enough to clean up your bull's nose! “

Speaking of this, Shen Gui was about to get up to meet the enemy; But I saw that the immeasurable real person put down the medicine pestle and waved his right hand at will, and there was a soft true qi that was invisible to the naked eye, and slowly pushed the waist pole he had just lifted back onto the haystack!

"Save it, you don't even have a complete piece of clothing on your body, what kind of tough guy are you? Besides, if Poor Dao really had the intention to kill you, when you snored and grinded your teeth, you would already be dead! Don't think that if you have the spiritual roots planted by the two Heavenly Spirit Veins in your body, you can ensure that you dominate the world! You don't even know how to use it, is there a difference for you or not? Shen Gui, you'd better be clear, even though Poor Dao is not the enemy of Yan Shenggong, after all, he is also the real person in charge of Xuanyue Dao Palace, and it is definitely not comparable to Xu Tianchuan and others! ”

Zhang Qingniu in front of him has an extremely tough attitude, which is not the same as the old man in Shen Gui's impression!

"After walking more than 3,000 miles, if you don't want to help Guan Beidou, are you here to eat seafood?"

"Even though it's a brother, there's no need for a nostril to breathe. I just want to tell you one thing: this sudden storm is not providential, but man-made! If the poor road is correct, the rainstorm will last for seven days and seven nights; After seven days, Dongyouwan can return to its former tranquility; But the name of Youbei Third Road will disappear forever on the Huayu Continent! Of course, that includes many of your old friends and those two confidants. ”

When Shen Gui heard this, he was a little disapproving. If you want to artificially control a storm that lasts for seven days, who can have such magical powers except for the reincarnation of the Dragon Prince?

"Providence or man-made, I will not argue with you; I only remember that Sheng said that three days later, at midnight, the storm will stop for a moment, and we can sail across the sea overnight to reach the sea city of Ninghai in Guanbei! ”

"Hmm...... This statement is indeed true, but Sheng turned his head to observe the celestial phenomena, relying on his rich experience in sailing and steering the ship, not the Tianyan Dao Array with his miraculous skills like my senior brother. Therefore, he can only predict when the storm will stop, but cannot change the trajectory of the celestial phenomena; Besides, there is only one Sheng Beichuan in the whole world, and it can be observed when this storm will stop? ”

After Shen Gui heard this, his thoughts in his mind were instantly disordered; Intellectually, he has accepted the words of the immeasurable real person, but due to the close relationship between him and Guan Beidou, he still has some doubts in his mind:

"Do you mean that Di Ting also knows when, where, and how we will go to Ninghai City? So if we go according to the original plan, we will definitely be pursued by Di Ting on the ship? ”

Before the immeasurable real person could speak, Sheng Beichuan glanced at Shen Gui first:

"You think too highly of yourself, don't you? How much do you know about things on the water? ”
