The group walked for another six or seven days to the boundary of Fangcheng, and heard that the Qing army was marching towards Shanxi, and the Dashun army had withdrawn westward, and Tang Hai was even more worried. Ye Yang said with a smile: "We have broken away from Dashun, whether he Li Zicheng is dead or alive, whether the righteous army is victorious or defeated, we have nothing to do, what is the big brother worried about?" Tang Hai scolded: "You are really ruthless and unrighteous, even if Li Zicheng is wrong, what is the crime of the righteous brothers?" Besides, if the righteous army can't resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the country will be in danger of falling into foreign tribes, and there will never be peace in the world. Ye Yang was scolded, stuck out his tongue, and hid to the side.

Everyone came to the outskirts of Fangcheng, although everyone was tired, but they were worried that the Dashun Righteous Army in the city would carry out Li Zicheng's pursuit and killing order, so they did not dare to enter the city to rest, so they had to settle down in the suburban village shop.

At this time, it was still early, but everyone was already sleepy, and the village store had limited rooms, so most of the people had to choose a clean place outside the store and fall asleep. Tang Hai was restless, so he simply walked outside the store, but when he saw the green trees, the birds and flowers, and the blue sky and breeze, and gently brushed his face, Tang Hai suddenly felt refreshed and more energetic.

Unconsciously walked four or five miles, came to a dilapidated Taoist temple, but saw a large bluestone outside the Taoist temple sleeping on an unkempt old Taoist face, a broken bowl on the head, a cane on the body, a pair of rotten shoes under the feet, open clothes, belly exposed. Tang Hai walked into the Taoist temple to take a look, but saw that there were only porcelain jars, earthen stoves, wooden beds, stone benches, and nothing else.

Strange, since it is a Taoist temple, why not offer the three Qing, the four royals, and the eight immortals? Look at the old way again, his face is thin, and he sleeps soundly in the sky, isn't it that he went out to beg for food and didn't get it, and he slept very sleepy?

Tang Hai touched the silver ingots in his sleeves, then took them out and gently put them into the broken bowl next to the beggar's head, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Tang Hai sighed lightly, Yiyue's mood was swept away by this scene, and she no longer had the elegance she had before, so she had to turn around and walk back. After walking less than ten steps, a lazy voice came from behind: "Good things become bad things, sad! Alas! ”

Tang Hai turned his head suddenly, saw Lao Dao stretching his waist, slowly got up and sat on the big bluestone and rubbed his eyes, and then asked, "Why did Lao Dao say that good things have become bad things?" ”

Lao Dao said: "Poor Dao slept here for seven days, in a dream of wandering to the purple mansion of Da Luo Mountain, was listening to Taishang Laojun talk about the pure scriptures, suddenly heard a crisp sound, looked back, but it was a piece of silver, Lao Jun scolded: 'What do you want to be pure when you are greedy for gold and silver in your heart?' Go back, I won't let you go here. 'Poor Dao fell from Daluo Mountain in a startle, alas, although you are kind to charity, but you quarrel with the poor Dao's sweet dream, isn't it a good thing to do a bad thing? ”

When Tang Hai heard this, he smiled, bowed and said, "Tang Hai was negligent for a while, sinful, sinful. ”

Lao Dao waved his hand and said: "You have a good heart, but the method is wrong, and you are not a bad person, innocent, innocent." Lao Dao picked up his crutches and stood up, and said as he walked out of the Taoist temple: "A sound will wake up the poor Dao, which means that the poor Dao is not strong enough, and I can't complain about you!" Alas......"

Tang Hai saw that the old Tao entered the Taoist temple, and then looked at the bluestone painting two strange pictures, take a closer look, the left picture is a circle, there are some irregular white dots and black dots inside, the outer circle is written with the words "purple, black, red, white, green, blue" and so on, the inner circle is written with the words "Li, Kun, Dui, Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun" and so on, the right picture is a box, there are many black and white circles in the box, Tang Hai watched repeatedly, and he couldn't understand what this thing was.

While pondering, Lao Dao took a sip of water from the Taoist temple and came out again, and when he saw that Tang Hai hadn't left yet, he said strangely: "Why don't you leave yet?" Poor Dao only likes to be quiet, and does not want to be disturbed by others, you take the silver and leave, Poor Dao does not need this yellow and white thing. ”

When Tang Hai followed Wang Shan, he heard that the Taoist had a thaumaturgy, called Qimen Dunjia, it was difficult to have a proficient person throughout the ages, and now he saw that this old Taoist chief was weird, and guessed that he must be proficient in foreign arts, so he asked: "Please forgive Tang Hai for disturbing me, dare to ask the old Taoist, what you painted is the wonderful method of Qimen Dunjia?" ”

Lao Dao said with a smile: "This is the purple and white nine-star map and the Luo Shu Fangyuan map, although these two pictures are not Qimen Dunjia, but they are also connected with it, if you want to be proficient in Qimen Dunjia, those who are not physically and mentally pure can not do it, and the poor Dao only knows a little bit about the skin." ”

Tang Haidao: "I heard that Qimen Dunjia can arrange troops to line up, predict good and bad, seize heaven and earth, unpredictable, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Lao Dao laughed and said, "So what? ”

Tang Hai exclaimed: "Is there really such a thaumaturgy in the world? ”

Lao Dao said: "Qimen Dunjia is just based on the nine palaces, looking at its eight gods, and the weft is based on the three strange six instruments, eight doors and nine stars, depending on the auspicious and evil of its arrival, thinking that it is avoiding, to put it bluntly, it is not unusual." ”

Tang Haidao: "Dare to ask what is the 'Three Wonders'? ”

Lao Dao replied: "The three strange ones, B, C, and D are also. ”

"What is the 'Six Instruments'?"

Lao Dao said: "The six rituals, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui are also." ”

"What is the 'Eight Gates'?"

Lao Dao said: "The eight gates, the door of retirement, the door of life, the door of injury, the door of Dumen, the door of view, the door of death, the door of shock, and the door of opening the door." ”

"What is 'Yagami'?"

Lao Dao said: "The Eight Gods, Zhifu, Snake, Taiyin, Liuhe, Gou Chen, Vermilion Bird, Nine Lands, and Nine Heavens are also." ”

"What is the 'Nine Stars'?"

Lao Dao said: "Nine stars, Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianfowl, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren, and Tianying are also. ”

"What is the 'Nine Palaces'?"

The old Taoist said: "Nine palaces, one white, two black, three blue, four green, five yellow, six white, seven red, eight white, and nine purple are also." ”

Tang Hai was overjoyed and bowed: "Can the old Taoist make a divination for me, a layman?" ”

Lao Dao said with a smile: "One thing, one Taiji, one thing, everything in the world depends on the will of heaven, people only need to follow the will of heaven, why force fame and wealth?" ”

Tang Haidao: "Tang Hai doesn't seek fame, and he doesn't ask about wealth and nobility, just because he wants to go to Daba Mountain, and ask the old Taoist to Bu Yibu for the good luck of this trip." ”

Lao Dao was slightly startled when he heard the word "Tang Hai", and immediately shook his head and did not reply.

Tang Hai replied: "Tang Hai sincerely asks for a hexagram, and the old Taoist can ask for as much silver as he wants." ”

Lao Tao said: "The law is not lightly transmitted, the hexagram is not lightly divined, those who believe in my Qimen Dunjia, do not take a penny, those who do not believe, charge 100 gold, you are persistent, the old way will deduce it for you, if you believe, act according to my advice, if you don't believe, you will take a hundred gold rewards, how?" ”

Tang Hai arched his hand and said, "Listen to the orders of the Taoist leader." ”

The old Taoist laughed, came to sit cross-legged on the bluestone, erased the previous two pictures with his hands, asked Tang Hai about his birthday, calculated the location of Daba Mountain, and scribbled on the bluestone with a small pebble in his hand. After the start of the game, the old way carefully deduced, smiling, painting and painting, the smile on his face gradually converged, slowly became solemn, and after a while, the old way looked suspicious, worried, and finally shocked, suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang Haidao: "If you want to travel far, you can only go south, there must be no deviation, Daba Mountain is the southwest direction, if you go, you will become a powder in the blink of an eye!" ”

Tang Hai said respectfully: "Don't hide it, Tang Hai has been favored like a mountain, and he vows to send his benefactor home safely, but these benefactors are people from the southwest, and I have sent them for hundreds of miles, so how can I give up halfway." ”

Lao Dao said: "Yiqimen Dunjia speculates that there is a fierce god in the southwest, if you go, there will be a disaster of blood and light, even if you are lucky, you must protect the three souls and lose the seven spirits, leaving the trunk and broken branches." ”

Tang Haidao: "How do you say it? ”

Lao Dao said: "Look at this situation, Tianpan Dingqi, and the six places are the signs of Suzaku throwing themselves into the river." Ding is fire, Vermilion Bird is also, Gui is water, River is also, Ding is on Gui, Vermilion Bird falls into the river. and add the fierce door, the fierce star, the fierce character, and the fierce god are all dry and strong, and they commit the palace of the year, which is the appearance of great murder and evil. ”

Tang Hai bowed and said: "Thank you for the teachings of the old Taoist, but Tang Hai promised to send the benefactor home safely, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he will not dare to lose his trust." ”

The old Taoist said: "So, you don't believe in the poor way?" ”

Tang Hai smiled slightly: "Old Dao Chief, wait a minute, wait for Tang Hai to go and get the gold." ”

Tang Hai turned around and left, and the old man laughed:

The breeze caresses the bright moon,

The bright moon shines on the Qin and Han dynasties.

Where to see the fame of the Qin and Han dynasties,

Let's look at the rhetoric on paper.

Tang Hai didn't care, and went straight back to the village store, everyone had already woken up, and Liu Jia said, "Where did the eldest brother go?" Tang Hai said: "I went to the forest for a trip, met a strange Taoist priest, said that he knew a little about the art of Qimen Dunjia, I tried to let him deduce a bad luck, he said that if he believed in him, he would not take a penny, if he did not believe that he needed to be paid a hundred gold, I promised him." After some deduction, he even said that we would die if we went southwest, and I didn't believe him, so I came back to get the gold. ”

Si Ren said strangely: "This Taoist priest is really strange. Qiuguang said with a smile: "Why doesn't the eldest brother say believe him, won't he save a hundred taels of gold?" Zhang Chuan said: "Big brother has met a liar." Ye Yang said: "Big brother won't fall for him." ”

Duan Qi said to the wolf: "Quickly take a hundred taels of gold and give it to the eldest brother." Ye Yang exclaimed: "What? Do you really want to give him gold? Xiaolong, Shan Yong, Ala Tai, Liu Jia and the others were also surprised, and the wolf tyrant couldn't believe that Tang Hai would really send gold to that old man, so he stood there still, looked at Duan Qi, and then looked at Tang Hai.

Tang Hai said with a smile: "Since there is a word first, how can we break it, and besides, the old Taoist is very pitiful, so let's do something good, Brother Wolf Tyrant, take the gold." ”

The wolf bully left, and Lu Qi said: "Big brother, since the southwest direction is more auspicious, let's not go." Tang Hai said with a smile: "The old way of the village is joking, and you can believe it is true?" It is the bounden duty of our 18 people to send Huang Yi and the other 58 people back to Daba Mountain, give them family assets, and let them live and work in peace and contentment. ”

The wolf took the gold and handed it to Tang Hai, and Shan Yong said: "Big brother, I'll go with you." Ye Yang said: "I'll go too." Duan Qi said: "It seems that Lao Dao is a master, I will also go to meet him." Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu also shouted to go and see, Tang Hai said: "Okay, but the old Taoist is in rags and unkempt, and the brothers are gone, so they must meet each other with courtesy, and don't laugh at others." ”

The seven of them walked all the way, but they saw that the road was full of dead branches and leaves, and there were weeds and rotten trees on both sides. Tang Hai stopped and looked around, shook his head and said, "I took the wrong road, it wasn't this road before, let's go back." Back outside the village store, Tang Hai looked around, thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be the road over there." The seven of them walked along another road for a long time, but there was still no previous scenery, Tang Hai hesitated, looked left and right, and found that he had gone wrong again, so he had to return again. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Tang Hai looked at each path carefully, and always felt that all of them were like the roads he had just walked, and after distinguishing them for a long time, Tang Hai decided to try again and walked towards one of the roads again.

Ye Yang said: "Forget it, I won't go, and I'll come back in vain later." Sure enough, as Ye Yang expected, it didn't take long for Tang Hai and the others to return in a huff.

Duan Qidao: "Big brother, the path here is complicated, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it, so it is better to go back and ask the store." Shan Yong said: "Seventh Sister is right, the shopkeeper has opened a store here, and she must know the situation in the nearby villages." Lu Qi said, "There's a woodcutter over there, I'll call him over." Lu Qi was just about to pass, Tang Hai said: "Brother Lu Qi, let's go over." ”

Tang Hai strode forward, and when he arrived at the woodcutter, Tang Hai saluted and said, "Big brother, can you ask for directions?" ”

The woodcutter put down the firewood on his shoulder and said, "Well, I also want to put down my burden and rest." ”

Tang Haidao: "We are passers-by, just now I walked alone along a wide road with elegant scenery, saw an old beggar in front of a view, and said something to him and came back, now I want to find him again, but I can't find the original way, may I ask the eldest brother if you know this old man?" ”

The woodcutter thought for a while and said, "Could it be that you have met the old way of the three soils?" ”

Tang Haidao: "Three old roads? ”

The woodcutter said: "Yes, this old Taoist came to our village more than ten years, when he came to our village with a broken bowl, a cane, wearing straw sandals, and begging in rags, several villagers saw that he was pitiful, so they gave him food, and the rich man Meng Quan also asked him to help watch the mountain, so as to avoid the pain of wandering, and since then the old road of Santu has lived here with us." ”

Wang Feng said: "Oh, isn't Santu his real name?" How can there be a person with the surname three in the world? ”

The woodcutter said: "Of course not, his name is Wang Santu, and according to himself, he is the descendant of the fairy prince Qiao." ”

Wang Yu laughed and said, "There are no gods in the world." ”

Tang Haidao: "Thank you, eldest brother, may I ask the eldest brother where he lives, can you show me the way, the younger brother will be rewarded." ”

The woodcutter said, "It's difficult, and I can't find him." ”

Lu Qi said: "Didn't the woodcutter brother say that he was helping the rich man look after the mountain?" ”

The woodcutter said: "This is true, but if the old man hides himself, then no one can find him?"

Tang Haidao: "Big brother only needs to take us to his Taoist temple." ”

Wang Yu said: "Yes, others can hide it, how can the Taoist temple hide?" ”

The woodcutter laughed: "Don't underestimate the old way of Santu, he knows a lot about Qimen, proficient in Dunjia, when Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu fought, the people in the surrounding villages and towns were killed and injured countless times, the old road of Santu let the people of our village hide in the mountains, he alone in the mountains around the sparse stakes of hundreds of stakes, tens of thousands of officers and peasant troops in the mountain melee at the bottom of the mountain, but how can not kill the mountain, our whole village people can be saved. ”

Tang Hai was shocked: "So Santu Lao Dao is near us, but he deliberately hid himself?" ”

The woodcutter said: "As long as he builds a few haystacks near the Taoist temple, others don't want to disturb him, I think you still have this heart." ”

After the woodcutter left, Xiaolong sneered: "This woodcutter is playing tricks. Shan Yong said: "I don't believe that he can hide anywhere, let's look around again." Tang Haidao: "Forget it, since the old Taoist wants to be quiet, we don't have to bother, let's go back." ”

Everyone traveled to Dengzhou, Tang Hai saw a desolation, so he ordered Lu Qi and Lin Yuan to go to the village to inquire about the situation, and after a while, the two reported: only because Li Zicheng's troops retreated to Shanxi, the Qing army pursued all the way, and Zuo Liangyu of the Ming court took the opportunity to lead his troops to capture many prefectures and counties in Henan and Jingxiang, and the peasant army broke and left, and now the officials and troops are everywhere to liquidate the officials of the Dashun Dynasty and the people loyal to the Dashun Dynasty. When Tang Hai heard this, he frowned even more.

Duan Qidao: "Today's Dashun country has to resist the Qing Dynasty in the north, and the south has to deal with the remnants of the Ming, and the enemy is facing on both sides, so it must be in a difficult situation." ”

Ala Tai said: "If Li Zicheng acted according to the yin and yang of the eldest brother, how could he be in today's predicament?" ”

Qiuguang said: "You deserve it." ”

Liu Jia said: "It seems that we can't enter Dengzhou, so we have to bypass it." ”

Duan Qidao: "Now that Dashun and Remnant Ming regard us as enemies, we need to be especially careful. ”

Tang Haidao: "They regard us as enemies, and after we get into trouble, we have to regard them as friends." ”

"Why?" The crowd was puzzled.

Tang Haidao: "The faint monarch is dead, the Tartar is coming, a demon is dead, a demon is coming again, perhaps, this demon is hideous, even more violent than that demon, we can only unite Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Jiangnan Mingting, and all the heroes of the world to deal with the Qing army, in order to save our Chinese Han people and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Everyone nodded yes. Duan Qidao: "Further forward is Jingxiang, we need to be extra careful, don't encounter Zuo Liangyu's army." Tang Haidao: "First send a few brothers to investigate the military situation." Tang Xi, Qiuguang, and Lu Qi asked for help to explore the way, Tang Hai agreed, and the three of them rode away. Tang Hai ordered everyone to set up tents and rest on the spot.

When it got dark, the three Pegasus came back and said, "Gucheng, Baokang, Xiangyang, and Jingmen are all occupied by Zuo Liangyu. Xiaolong said: "To go to Daba Mountain, you must pass through Gucheng, Baokang, and Xiangyang, and the road ahead is blocked, how is it good." Alla Tai said: "There is still a detour. Duan Qidao: "This place is close to Daba Mountain, if you take a detour, there are more than 1,000 miles away." Tang Hai was silent, and Tang Xi said: "Big brother, you can't believe the words of the old man of the three soils. ”

After listening to Tang Xi's words, everyone remembered the old Taoist of Santu again, and Ala Taihaha laughed: "Brother Tang Xi, do you really believe that stinky Taoist priest, he is obviously talking nonsense." Ye Yang said: "I'm afraid, Zuo Liangyu was our defeated general, he dared to stop us, and we destroyed him." Xiaolong said with a smile: "When we fought with Zuo Liangyu back then, each of the brothers had a few thousand soldiers under their hands, a total of fifty or sixty thousand horses, and now we have a total of seventy-six people, how to destroy him?" When Ye Yang heard this, he had to sigh heavily.

Tang Haidao: "Brothers, rest for the time being, let me think about this matter." ”

Everyone slept, and Shi'an and Qiuguang were on duty at the east and west ends. Tang Hai sat in the tent and pondered, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the oil lamp on the table swayed from side to side a few times and was blown out. Tang Hai was worried about the strong wind outside, so he took two clothes out of the tent, first went to the east to give one to Shi'an, and then went west to put on one for Qiuguang, and then slowly paced back.

Walking to a tent, I heard whispers inside, stopped to listen, and heard Wu Fei say, "Brother, why don't you sleep?" Wang Hua said: "Dengzhou is only two or three days away from Daba Mountain, and I am about to see my father and mother, so I am not excited." Hearing another sigh, Wang Hua asked, "Brother Huang Yi sighed for something." Huang Yidao: "Back then, our township protector with more than 50 Buddhas followed the Buddha Lord uprising, before leaving, my father told me to fight bravely to kill the enemy, eliminate the demon and protect the religion, even if he died, he also glorified his ancestors, and now the demon Chongzhen Emperor is dead, and the Buddhas who went with us are dead, and I am the only one who comes back alive. Wu Fei persuaded: "Brother Huang Yi is so confused, the Buddha said back then, raise righteousness to subdue demons, the living worship will be crowned marquis, and the dead will be crowned gods and immortals, you were just a little Buddha at that time, and now you are a dignified and mighty general, you have made such a great contribution to the Great Buddha Country, and you will be able to achieve positive results when you die of old age in the future." Huang Yi said: "Well, that's what I said." By the way, what are the plans of the two brothers to return to Daba Mountain? Wu Fei said: "Needless to say, continue to protect the third phase of Pudu Dafa, I, Wu Fei, live and die as a person in the Great Buddha Country, and die as a ghost in the Great Buddha Country." Wang Hua said: "My home is close to the Void Tibetan Temple, after I go back, I will honor my parents at home during the day, and go to the temple to accompany the Bodhisattva at night." ”

When Tang Hai heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he staggered back to his tent step by step, and couldn't help crying softly.

Early the next morning, Tang Hai gathered all the brothers and said: "I have made up my mind, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front, I will never avoid the road, Tang Xi, Wolf Ba, Qiuguang, and Lu Qi will go ahead for half an hour, and explore the military situation of the Ming Army and the Dashun Army along the way, once there is any movement, we must report quickly." The brothers did not leave their swords, and they must be extremely careful along the way, and they must not fall into the ambush of the Dashun army and the Ming army. ”

Everyone continued to move forward, during which in order to avoid the spies of the Ming army and the Dashun army, Tang Hailing took more small roads and less official roads, so cautious and slow, walked for a few hours, and finally arrived in Baokang County, and everyone was overjoyed.

Xiaolong said: "We have entered Daba Mountain, and after walking for a while, we will arrive at Baokang County." Ala Tai said: "When the Bashan brothers are dismissed, we can go to Sichuan to do a big job." Liu Jia said: "I will never be controlled by others in the future." Duan Qi said: "Isn't Li Zicheng worried that the eighteen of us are secretly conspiring with the eighteen sons, we are going to play the banner of the eighteen sons." Alla Tai said: "Yes, whoever said that the eighteen sons specifically referred to him Li Zicheng alone." Liu Jia said: "As long as the eldest brother raises the evil sword again, he will not worry about gathering hundreds of thousands of horses." ”

Unconsciously, it was almost dusk, and everyone came to a river, the river was not wide, but it was the rainy season, the water was turbulent, Tang Hai said: "Everyone is tired, so they will find a place to spend the night." Si Ren said: "Just now we passed by the market town and couldn't stay, but we lived in this no-man's land, how could we sleep?" Alatai dragged Siren aside and whispered, "Brother, we are a group of seventy or eighty people, and wherever we live, we will attract attention, and it will inevitably cause trouble. When the Bashan brothers are sent home tomorrow, there are only eighteen of us, you can live wherever you like, tonight will be one night, Hugh will complain again, lest the eldest brother be sad. ”

After settling in, Duan Qi said, "I'll take a few brothers to the market town I passed by just now to buy some food." Tang Haidao: "It's hard work for the seventh sister." ”

Duan Qi took Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu to go, and Ye Yang caught up with the four of them: "I'll go too, I'm hungry, I'll go to the town first and then I'll talk about it when I'm full." Lu Qi said: "It's okay, Brother Ye Yang is full of strength, we will put the food we bought into a bag and let Brother Ye Yang carry it back, and a few of us will be relaxed." Ye Yang said: "Lu Qi, you think well, I carry it alone, you are empty-handed?" Lu Qi said: "We don't eat when we go to the town, we buy food and bring it back to eat together, you have to eat first, you don't have to carry it, do you want a few of us hungry men to carry it?" Duan Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu laughed.

The five of them came to the street laughing and bought steamed buns, steamed buns, meat rolls, steaks, leg of mutton, and flatbread, and packed five bags. Ye Yang was really full, one person carried a big bag, Duan Qi, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu each carried a small bag, and the five of them returned along the same road.

When I walked to the door of a house, I saw an old man sitting on the ground, arguing with a young man not far away......

I only heard the young man sneer: "Old man, your lady ran away with someone, and she didn't have half a tael of silver if she wanted to continue the string, she has been lonely and single for more than ten years, what are you doing alive, it's dead!" Ha ha. ”

The old man argued: "Although your father has five or six wives and concubines, haven't they all run away, why doesn't your father die?" ”

The young man was furious: "Hey, you're still very good at defending yourself, let me ask you again, you have worked hard all your life, built countless houses for others, but you have lived in a thatched house for a lifetime, won't you live in vain in this life?" ”

The old man argued again: "I live in a high-rise building or a thatched hut, but it doesn't hinder your family's affairs, why do you insult me for no reason?" ”

The young man scolded again: "You sold all your sons, and you are embarrassed to live, if it were me, I would find a cliff to jump on." ”

When the old man heard this, he no longer refuted, but began to cry.

Hearing the strange words of the old man and the young man, Ye Yang put down the bag and asked the old man: "Uncle, what are you two arguing about, it makes people feel so strange." ”

The old man said: "Alas, it's hard to say. ”

Ye Yang squatted down and said: "Old man Hugh should be in a hurry, slowly say and listen to me, you meet me Ye Yang, it is more effective than meeting Bao Qingtian." ”

The old man sighed and said: "The old man was originally from Fugu County, when the bandits, the whole family was robbed, I fled to Baokang with my mother-in-law and young son, after settling down, I built a house for others for a living, because I couldn't support people, I had to sell my young son to a Jiangnan merchant and took it away, and then there was a famine, my mother-in-law also left me, and now, the old man I am alone and live by begging. ”

The old man cried again as he spoke, and Ye Yang pointed at the young man and said, "Who is he?" Why did you insult you? ”

The old man said: "This beast is the son of the big family Nanshanwen, who has been frivolous since he was a child, and does all kinds of evil. A few years ago, the rebels came, confiscated his family's 300 acres of land, and left only five acres for self-cultivation, and all the family's savings and grain were confiscated. His father, Nan Zhiwen, had five or six wives and concubines, and when this big change occurred, all the wives and concubines ran away, and his father and son became stateless villains overnight. Recently, the rebels are gone, and their father and son have come back to life, although I did not provoke him, but when the rebels opened his granary for relief, I received three liters of rice, and for this reason, his father and son held a grudge and came to look for trouble every now and then. When the old man said that he was sad, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Ye Yang was furious when he heard this, and Duan Qi, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu were also indignant for the old man. Ye Yang pointed at the young man and scolded: "It was the righteous army who opened your granary, and he had nothing to do with it, why did you insult others?" ”

Nan Jia said evilly: "It's not why, I just don't see him used to it, it's not because of three liters of rice." ”

"Why is that?"

Evil Shao said: "I, the eldest young master of the Nan family, has a noble face, and was born rich, but now he is a family with four walls, and there is nowhere to stay, but he, a beggar who has escaped, has nothing else to do, and is useless, but why does he live so freely." ”

Ye Yang was about to beat someone, but was stopped by Duan Qi and persuaded: "What this young man from the Nan family said is that this old man has nothing else and is useless, but he is happy and comfortable, which is really annoying." ”

Ye Yang, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu were all surprised when they heard this, I don't know how Duan Qi could say this, the young man of the Nan family was quite proud when he heard it, and scolded the old man and said: "Look, this eldest sister also said so, which shows that I am right." When the old man saw that the passers-by were also helping the evil boy speak, he sighed and couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.

Duan Qi comforted the old man and said: "He insulted you because he was stronger than you, if you were stronger than him, I don't think he would insult you." He turned around and asked the boy again, "Is it not?" ”

The evil of the Nan family was triumphant, and put on a proud posture like winning the champion and said: "The eldest sister is right, when it comes to learning, he doesn't know a word. When it comes to land, he has no land. As for the house, he slept in a grass house overnight. In terms of physique, he is old and frail. In terms of appearance, he has a hunched back and a wrinkled face. In terms of the future, he is about to die, and he is already a skeleton in the grave. If he is stronger than mine, I will not scold him. ”

Duan Qidao: "If he is stronger than you, what do you say?" ”

The evil young man of the Nan family sneered: "Let it be disposed of." ”

Duan Qidao: "In my opinion, you are inferior to him." ”

Nan Jiaxiao was shocked: "Joke, I will be inferior to him?" Say it, if it is, I will let it be disposed of, and I will never break my word. ”

Duan Qidao: "Really? ”

Nan Jia smiled evilly: "It can't be fake, you can say it quickly." ”

Duan Qi sneered: "Listen well, although he is lonely and widowed, he has a lady after all, and you have never been married in your life, so you are not as good as you." Although he gave a son to others, he finally had a son, but you have no heirs, so you are not as good as two. Although he is poor and embarrassed, he can know the destiny of heaven and live a long life, and you died in a young age and became a short-lived ghost, which is better than you. ”

The evil young man of the Nan family was annoyed and funny, and scolded: "Who are you, why are you full of nonsense? I am so young, I will naturally marry and have children in the future, and I will have no illness or disease, you dare to curse me to die early? ”

Ye Yang laughed and said: "Seventh sister is seventh sister, you have to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to kill someone, it is flavorful, it is flavorful." After that, he said to the evil young man: "Boy, listen up, although you are young, don't underestimate the old man, the way of heaven is impermanent, how do you know that you will be stronger than the old man in front of you in the future?" Don't be rampant in the next life. ”

After Ye Yang finished speaking, he went straight to the evil young man, and the evil young man was furious, and he casually picked up a long knife to cut Ye Yang, but Ye Yang kicked him away, and the knife was lost on the ground. The young man was horrified, he got up and ran away, Ye Yang chased after him, grabbed him, turned the person around, and knocked out a few teeth with just one punch. With another punch, the evil young man fell to the ground, and as soon as he stood up, Ye Yang kicked him in the middle of the chin. is a handsome young man, and he entered the ghost town of Fengdu in a daze.

The five people wanted to leave, but the old man said: "Five righteous men, you are gone, what should I do?" ”

Ye Yang was stunned for a moment, looking at Duan Qi, Lu Qi, Wang Feng, and Wang Yu. Lu Qi smiled: "Brother Ye Yang, you caused the matter, you look at it, let's go." ”

Wang Feng couldn't stop snickering, and he also picked up his bag and left.

Ye Yang looked at Wang Yu, Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I didn't kill people." ”

Ye Yang was helpless, and grabbed Duan Qi and said, "Seventh sister, the three of them are not righteous, you have to make up your mind." Duan Qidao: "You are more effective than Bao Qingtian, ask me what to do?" "Come on, and go with the three of them.

Ye Yang was helpless, and said to the old man: "Uncle, kill people, I can do it, what to do after killing people, I don't know, otherwise, you run away quickly." ”

The old man begged: "The righteous can't leave the old and the decayed, the evil is dead, how can I get out of it?" The old man is penniless, where can he escape. ”

Ye Yang said: "You go with me, I'll give you some silver taels, you go away and fly high." ”

The old man bowed and said, "So, thank you for the righteousness." ”

Duan Qi told Tang Hai about the situation in the morning, and when he saw Ye Yang coming with the old man, Tang Hai said: "Don't worry, it's getting late, you can rest here for one night first, and give you some silver taels tomorrow morning, and you go elsewhere to find a livelihood." "The old man thanked him. Tang Hai also asked Lin Yuan to return with Lu Qi to hide the evil young man's body so as not to be discovered by others.

The arrangements were made, and seeing that the old man was in rags and very pitiful, Tang Hai said: "My husband is sleeping in my tent, and I will go and squeeze with my brothers." ”
