readx; The Taoist priest of Lu Xian Temple suggested burning the Taoist temple, and when Cao Bianjiao heard it, he shook his head again and again and said, "Then how can it be done?" We came here to suppress the bandits, and the bandits didn't set fire, so how can we set fire? ”

Lu Yuansheng also objected loudly: "Dao Chief, I can't help it!" Not to mention that this is your place of cultivation, there are many temples, and the fire is all burning; It is said that this Lu Xian Temple, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, blessed the people of Huangliang Dream Town, and has a history of hundreds of years. The recent popular drama "The Story of Handan" by the pen %fun www.biquge.info%pavilion is that Mr. Tang Xianzu Tang stayed here overnight, and he got it by chance. In the hearts of the people of the town, Lu Xian Temple is no less than an ancestral hall, how can it be burned down because of these bandits? ”

But the Taoist chief said very resolutely: "But if you don't burn the Taoist temple, these bandits will always hide inside and hurt people with birds!" For the sake of a dead Taoist temple, do we have to let the officers and soldiers who saved our lives take more risks? You are reluctant to burn, the poor road is hands-on, I believe that Tianzun will also understand the poor road! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned his apprentices to look for torches and other things. At this time, many villagers also rushed to hear the news, including Lu Yuansheng's father. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Yuan Sheng doesn't need to say much, the Taoist chief is right!" Today we burned the Lu Xian Temple, and tomorrow we can rebuild it, reshape the golden body of Tianzun, and ensure that the incense is more prosperous than before! Everyone worked together to burn down the Lu Xian Temple! ”

The people also hated these bandits, so they used mobilization to find things to start the fire and threw them through the courtyard wall. The Lu Xian Temple is purely a wooden structure, and it is lit by fire, and in an instant it is already thick smoke and flames. Looking at the Lu Xian Temple that was engulfed by the fire, everyone was sad and happy, and the Taoist chief just shouted a few words of goodness, and then he cried loudly, and Cao Bianjiao and other Guanning iron cavalry soldiers were all deeply moved.

After a while, there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling from the Lu Xian Temple. After a while, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and more than a dozen bandits whose clothes and hair were burned staggered out, rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire, while shouting incessantly: "Grandpa Guanjun spare his life, I am waiting to surrender!" ”

When the people saw that these bandits, who had plagued them for several days, still had the face to beg for mercy, and their eyes were red, they rushed up and beat them to death. Cao Bianjiao wanted to ask for some valuable information from their mouths, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop him, and persuaded bitterly: "Don't be excited, folks, the court has its own laws, and hand over these villains to the general to deal with, and promise to relieve everyone's anger!" ”

Only then did everyone stop in anger, and more than a dozen Guan Ning soldiers stepped forward to kick the bandits, stepping on the flames on their bodies, but they were not lightly kicked, and several people were kicked and broke their ribs on the spot. At this time, the fire in the Lu Xian Temple was getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly heard a "boom", the largest hall, the Lu Zu Temple, had been burned down, and the sparks and heat waves suddenly surged, and everyone hurriedly took refuge in the distance. As for the bandits who didn't run out, they must have been burned to charcoal.

So far, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has completely controlled Huangliang Dream Town. Cao Bianjiao ordered his subordinates to conduct a carpet search in the town to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net, and on the other hand, he organized the villagers to extinguish the embers and found time to interrogate the dozen or so bandits.

Soon the bandits confessed their leader, who was about twenty years old, fat and strong, but he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and everyone laughed and laughed.

Cao Bianjiao didn't laugh, slammed the iron spear to the ground, and asked sharply: "Ben will ask you a few words, you have to recruit from the truth, otherwise you will be disemboweled!" ”

The leader was so frightened that he was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed like garlic and said: "Although the general asks, the villain will never dare to deceive, but beg the lord to spare his life!" ”

Cao Bianjiao sneered and said, "What's your name?" ”

The man hurriedly replied, "The villain's surname is Xuanzi."

"Gourd?" Cao Bianjiao said inexplicably, "How can there be such a surname?" Are you trying to trick the general? ”

Frightened, the man quickly kowtowed: "No, no! Back to the words of the general, this is... This is a black word, in fact, the villain's surname is Fan. ”

Cao Bianjiao asked a few more words before he realized that all bandits who fell into the grass for secret purposes, for the purpose of concealment, often concealed the words they actually wanted to say when talking to each other, and replaced them with a word that outsiders did not understand, but the bandits knew what it meant, which was a black language, also known as "incision" or "lip dictionary". For example, in the black language, "head" is called "scoop handle", "eye" is "trick", ear is "tailwind", "friend" is "side by side", "reconnaissance" is "stepping on the plate", and so on.

And "瓤子" is originally a black word for "rice", because of the homonym, it can also refer to the surname "Fan". Cao Bianjiao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and yelled: "Now that you have been caught, you still dare to talk black to Ben General?" No matter how honest you are, Ben will pick out your pair of 'tricks' first! ”

The man was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again, and confessed one by one. It turned out that he was really the bandit boss on Mafu Mountain, and it turned out that there were only a few dozen bandits on the mountain. But since last year, a mysterious organization called the "White Lotus Sect" has approached them and asked them to join the sect collectively and be loyal to the sect leader.

Of course, the surnamed Fan refused at the beginning, but the protector of the White Lotus Sect was ruthless, and killed seven or eight people on the spot. The bandits are like this, they bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they will see the wind and the rudder the most, and the surname Fan is so frightened that they hurriedly surrender, and since then Mafushan has fallen under the control of the White Lotus Sect.

In accordance with the requirements of the protector, the surnamed Fan began to recruit troops to expand his strength, and successively attracted many people to join the gang, and now it has grown to more than 500 people, and the courage to rob houses is getting bigger and bigger. Guangping Mansion has long known that there is such a bandit, but it is pretending to be deaf and dumb, and when there are dozens of people, they don't dare to exterminate it, and now that it has become hundreds of people, they don't dare to do it, so Liu Yangcui will shrink in the city and dare not come out.

And this time, the person surnamed Fan received the latest instructions from the Dharma Protector: Now that the world is in turmoil, it is the time for the White Lotus Holy Sect to save the world. The Holy Sect Master was determined to support King Fu to ascend the throne and reorganize the dynasty, and King Fu also respected the Holy Religion as the state religion, and now their identity is no longer bandits, but official soldiers.

Since it is an official army, it is necessary to act in a righteous and bright manner. The Dharma Protector gave them two tasks, the first was to raise food for the army as soon as possible and prepare for a decisive battle with the army that supported the Duan, and the second was to take over Quang Binh Province.

However, the surname Fan also knew that he was a little bit of a pound, and although the officials and soldiers did not dare to come to suppress him, it was obviously unrealistic for him to capture a big city like Guangping Mansion. So he had to try his best to complete the first task first, to put it bluntly, it was to go down the mountain to rob, as long as he could grab a little more, even if he couldn't beat Guangping Mansion, he would be able to make a difference. The richest near Mafu Mountain is Huangliangmeng Town, so more than 300 people surnamed Fan will occupy this place. In addition, he sent more than 100 bandits to disperse into several units and loot in Wei County and other places, so that the Daimyo's mansion was disturbed.

Cao Bianjiao has been in Liaodong for a long time and is not familiar with the White Lotus Sect. However, the confession surnamed Fan also made him highly vigilant, and he felt that it could be corroborated with the rumors in the famous city. He couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Mother, it seems that Zhu Changxun and Hong Chengchou, the two kings, are really reversed!" ”
