Chapter 173: The Year of Ding Lu
Ding Lunian sat in the grass pavilion and spit out quietly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The body is lying together, the movements seem to have a fixed beat, in such a rhythm, the thoughts slowly extend into the distance, and the surrounding scenery seems to be three-dimensional in front of you, turning into a small world to support your own self-cultivation, which is a mysterious and mysterious realm, ordinary people can also do it, but it requires a high degree of concentration, and cannot be as easy as the Taoists.
This is his daily compulsory homework, and the reason why he is in the open-air grass pavilion is not because he wants to enter the red dust to practice, but because he has a task...... Observe people.
To be precise, eyeliner, as far as Ding Lunian knows, it is actually similar in nature to the spies sent out by various families.
However, few people guessed his identity.
Now he is an evolutionary Taoist, but in the past, he had no faction, he was simply called a Taoist, not a real person, no famous casual cultivation, naturally will not exist in a certain Taoist temple, this is the area where he often appears, and then he simply settled here, speaking of which, the scenery and terrain here are good, which is very suitable for him.
In order to admit his feelings, he can be regarded as responding to the request of his fellow Daoists in Huiji County, and when he practices every day, he helps them keep an eye on people...... A group of people, who he regarded as Zhang's people, because one of them who often came and went was a son of the Zhang family of Wu County, named Zhang Lu, who heard that he was not in harmony with the family, so he simply moved out and lived in a nearby house near the river.
At a fixed time every day, Ding Lunian would see Zhang Lu's frame passing by the grass pavilion, and occasionally he would see people in his family coming out and walking around, but they seemed to be afraid of something and didn't dare to go far...... Especially recently, what worries him a little is that it seems that the family has also found themselves spying on them, so that they haven't been seen for days.
The last time he appeared was the day before yesterday, Ding Lunian remembered it very clearly, because it was a delicate woman who traveled, it seemed that it should be Zhang Lu's concubine, and after walking around here for a while, by chance he could still see the woman secretly observing himself, until the last moment when he looked over, the woman also looked over.
Gaze at each other in mid-air.
contact, all with fear and worry.
But the woman quickly withdrew her gaze and ran away...... Ding Lunian felt that he was exposed, and hesitated to continue, but there was no movement in the next two days, Zhang Lu did not show any abnormality to himself, and the woman was too, and he would still come out cautiously, so he put his mind at ease and continued to monitor, after all, the fellow Daoists of Huiji County may be beneficial to him, and a young man named Hei Qi'er plans to invite him to practice in the newly built Taoist temple, and it will not be regarded as a casual cultivation in the future.
Just need to get through this time......
It was now afternoon, and Ding Lunian spit out for a moment, and then stretched his waist.
Zhang Lu seemed to be drunk yesterday, and he remembered that when he walked this way, he pulled the curtain and vomited, but now the vomit has been buried in the mud, which is not disgusting.
"Isn't he coming out today?" With a casual remark, Ding Lunian planned to get up and walk home.
His home is not big, it is a thatched hut, quite close to here, according to his observation, Zhang Lu rarely goes out in the afternoon, so even if he goes home at this time, he will not miss anything.
The sun is shining and the white clouds are long.
Ding Lunian walked slowly, breathing the air around him, looking at the slightly bleak beauty, but it was also pleasant.
The humble hut was right in front of him, and because it was so shabby, there was nothing in it that was worth the thieves' visit, so he simply didn't put it on the chain.
Pushing open the door, stunned.
He froze there, but soon he exclaimed in surprise, "What...... How are you? ”
……
The car drove slowly on the official road, leading from Qixia Mountain to the official road of Huiji.
Now it is in Kure County.
There are two ox carts in total, one for He and one for Wang Ning, it is not good to ride together now, but it is okay, Wang Ningzhi is just going to do something here, so on the way, the two ox carts are separated, and the He one is the first to go home.
"Is it almost there?" Wang Ningzhi asked.
"Soon, I've seen the river, let's go along the river." Said the harvest driving in front.
Wang Ningzhi no longer asked, but lifted the curtain and looked outside, it was an unknown river, it was said to be a river, but it was not big, it was more appropriate to call it a stream, according to the place that Hei Qi'er told himself, it should be here, the scenery is not bad, the population is relatively sparse, and there is only one small village.
He was looking at the scenery and was fascinated, and the harvest driving in front of him suddenly said, "Erlang, it's here." ”
In the distance, but in the field of vision, there is a house near the stream, which seems to be a little old, at least it tends to be quaint, this should be Zhang Lu's house, the so-called place where the remnants of the Zhou family live - Wang Ningzhi thought.
However, instead of rushing towards the old house, the cart turned a corner, turned away from the stream, and after a while, the harvest shouted "...... the ox cart" and slowly stopped.
Wang Ningzhi got out of the car, followed the instructions of the guards, and saw a thatched hut in front of him, which was relatively remote, although it was a small village next to it, but there were tall trees all around, and the small thatched hut was hidden in it, so it was a little difficult to be noticed.
"I didn't see anyone on the road just now, so I guess I was at home." Fengshou said this, walked in front of Wang Ning, and saw that the door of the hut was not locked, so he pushed the door in, but quickly turned around and walked out, and spread his hands at Wang Ningzhi's stall who was approaching, "There is no one inside." ”
"No one?" Wang Ning was stunned, he remembered that Hei Qi'er said that this Taoist was very attentive and rarely went out, could it be that he was so unlucky today that he happened to meet a Taoist who went out?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still walked in and looked at it, it was empty, there were few things, and he had to lock the door.
His eyes wandered, and seeing that he had found nothing, he turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly, his eyes stayed on the ground.
"Go farther, you all go farther." As he spoke, he looked at the footprints in the house after making sure that the harvest and his footprints were.
Big and small, messy, and in some places there is strong friction.
The eye followed the footprints, and the doorway was even more messy, and there was a lot of friction, as if someone had dragged something here, or...... These footprints disappeared not far away.
"What's wrong Erlang, what's wrong?" Harvest asked.
Wang Ningzhi took a deep look at the old mansion by the stream, his eyes were deep, and he said, "That Taoist may have had an accident." ”
"Something's wrong?" Fengshou quickly reacted and looked at the old mansion, "Yes...... People there? ”
"Quite possibly." In response, Wang Ningzhi walked towards the ox cart, "Don't delay, hurry up, this place is not suitable for a long time." (To be continued.) )
