Chapter 31 (1) Water Cloud Taoist Temple

The funeral relics found from the ancient tomb were secretly transported to the cave of Sanrenxia, and Hu Bolt seized the time to clean up, repair and identify, and when Xiaobai, Xiaoyue and several other students did not have class, they came to the cave to help and be Hu Bolt's assistant.

Inside and outside the cave, after the repair of Thor and others, a defense mechanism was set up, a sentry concealment was established, and a zigzag step was carved out outside the cave entrance, and the hidden steps could be bent up without a rope, and a new surveillance bunker was dug on the hill above the cave entrance, so that the movement in the distance could be observed.

That night, the cave was very lively, in addition to Hu Xuan and a few students were busy repairing cultural relics, He Yuan, Gai Jiaotou, Jiang Yuniang, Li Erhei and others all gathered in the big cave hall to chat, the hall area is too large, although there are a few rows of tables and chairs, but it still seems very wide, everyone is sitting at the table drinking camellia, Li Erhei said with some regret: "It's a pity, I didn't go to the civic meeting." I heard that you made a very wonderful thing, Lu Daya was greatly embarrassed, and the people raised their eyebrows. ”

"You will play a more important role in the future," He Yuan said: "You can't attract their attention, this time Lu Daya has made you an official, and he won't let you be idle." ”

It turned out that Lu Daya sent Hua to join the army and others, and went to Sanhuzhai to give Li Erhei the official title of "Captain of the South Hunan Special Team", and asked him to "monitor the actions of the rebel party bandits and mobs, and cooperate with the provincial government to appease the place."

Regarding the official title of this "captain of the special team", according to the plan agreed with He Yuan and others, Li Erhei agreed and proposed to let the government distribute guns and ammunition. Li Erhei proposed to issue military uniforms again, but this time China joined the army and agreed, and at that time he approved 50 sets of military uniforms, and Zhang Xiaoliu and others took them out. It was transported to the cave of the Three People's Gorge. Li Erhei said to He Yuan: "My people, don't wear that dog skin, keep it." ”

"These dog skins will be useful in the future." He Yuan was very satisfied.

Speaking of this lively citizens' assembly. Everyone's interest was still very high, and Professor Wan said: "This victory of justice over power has a great impact not only on our Hunan, but also on a national scale. It represents the awakening of the people, which has reached a new height, and the national struggle against hegemony will open a new era. ”

Gai turned his head and said: "At the same time, we must also see that after Lu Daya and they fail, they will not give up, and they will definitely fight back wildly, we must be careful." ”

As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps, and when he heard the sound, he knew that it was the stone lock. Sure enough, Shi Suo's sturdy body shook into the hall from the outside branch hole, walked to the table, picked up a bowl of tea, and poured it into his mouth.

"Why are you here?" Dafeng asked.

"My big black found out the secret, and our brothers went to follow it," Shi Suo said proudly as he sat down, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.

The big black mastiff, because of his cleverness and alertness, has become everyone's right-hand man. Shi Suo saw that everyone was staring at him. was even more proud, and said with a gesture: "Today I went to Niujia Village to buy straw raw materials with Zhao Laoer, and I just got into the car." When I walked to the head of the village, Da Hei suddenly arched my trouser legs vigorously, you know, all the most intelligent dogs will not bark, when it wants to bark. It's all to intimidate the enemy, and when you shouldn't, you don't scream blindly......"

"Don't talk about dogs, talk about you and Zhao Er." Dafeng urged.

"Da Hei arched my trouser legs, I knew that something was going on, looked at the pergola with four hands, only to see two people on the road, shrunken head and walked forward, one is a thin monkey, the other is a bangzi head, the weather is cold, these two guys cover their faces with scarves, copy their sleeves and go forward, and they can't see their faces clearly, but the bangzi head is a minion under Lu Daya's hands, I have followed him with Da Hei before, although I can't see his face clearly, but Da Hei is so smart, I already know that it is him, I'm afraid I can't see it, and I deliberately come to remind me. I said to Dahei, 'Good brother, I see what you mean, thank you. I said to Zhao Lao Er again: 'Second brother, you go by yourself first, I have to look at the bangzitou over there and what to do." ’”

"Shi Suo, you're really getting smarter," Dafeng stretched out his fingers and complimented.

"Not enough. Da Hei and I quietly followed the two boys, and saw them enter a small temple at the head of the village, and before entering the temple, the two of them stumbled a few words, and said, 'Go quickly, enter the temple.' The other skinny monkey said; 'Go into the temple to burn incense, it is right, you always do not respect the immortals and Buddhas, sooner or later you will suffer retribution, lose money in business, go out and be beaten, and your wife runs away with someone ....... ’”

"Haha."

Shi Suo also smiled, and then said: "As soon as I heard what this thin monkey said, I felt that the voice was quite familiar, it turned out that this guy was not an outsider, it was the black spider that I had once caught, he was Mr. Yu's dogleg, I was happy, and I dared to love old friends." So, I quietly followed them and hid outside the walls of the small temple, but it happened that the broken temple was so broken that there were holes in the walls, and what was said inside could be heard outside. I heard a muttering voice in the temple, and it was the black spider who was casting a curse on the gambling god and said, "Master Guan, you can bless me." 'It turns out that this is a Guandi temple......"

"Why are you getting more and more verbose, come on, what did the black spider say?"

"Hehe, the black spider said: Master Guan, you bless me to go out smoothly, find the Demon King of Variety, and invite him smoothly, that **** Demon King is a guy who kills people without seeing blood, don't let him be indiscriminate and kill me first......"

"Demon King of Variety?" Dafeng asked, "Who is that?" Who is the Demon King of Change? ”

Several people around shook their heads, Jiang Yuniang, Li Erhei and others were all well-informed people in the rivers and lakes, but no one had heard of this "Demon King of Variety".

Shi Suo continued: "When I heard it, I also thought it was strange, Bangzitou and the Black Spider, what kind of Demon King of Variety are they going to invite, what are they doing? I'll have to take a good look. So I hid next to the broken temple, after these two boys came out of the temple, Da Hei quietly followed them, I quietly followed Da Hei behind, just like that, we kept walking along the road, until we came to an inn, the two boys went into the inn to sleep, and Da Hei and I came back and reported to you. ”

Everyone talked for a while, and He Yuan said: "Let's mess up their citizens' assembly." Lu Daya and the others must be racking their brains to deal with us, what kind of Variety Demon King is this, maybe it is also their new plan, Shi Suo's tracking today is very good......"

"It's mostly the work of the Big Black."

He Yuan put down the cigarette pot and smiled. "No matter who the Demon King of Variety is, we have to figure it out, we can't let go of Lu Daya's every move, and we will continue to track it tomorrow."

"It's better for me to go with Dahei." Shi Suo said with interest.

"Nope. You and Dafeng have another mission. ”

The next day, before dawn, Zhang Xiaoliu and the little ghost were sent to track the black spider. The two of them walked to the inn that Shi Suo had said, and hid in a pile of firewood by the side of the road.

The two of them only met when they attacked Sanhu Village, and they didn't know each other, so the little clever man asked, "Brother, are you good at tracking?" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu smiled, "Have you forgotten what I do?" I'm a bandit, and I track and step on the plate, and it's all housekeeping. ”

"Yes, yes. I forgot about it, and I want to teach you how to track it. ”

In the early morning, the weather was the coldest, and although they were hiding in the firewood stack, the two of them were still shivering from the cold. Through the gap in Chai He, staring at the door of the inn, the little clever asked, "How do you step on the plate?" ”

"That's majestic," Zhang Xiaoliu boasted, "Riding a tall horse, the brass bell on the horse's neck can be heard from miles away." The saddles are all made of brass, and they look like gold from afar......"

"Wait, you three households, that broken mountain road is steep and narrow. It's like a ladder, and it's hard for the monkey to get up, where does the tall horse come from? ”

"This ...... Hey, hey, shhh, look, there's someone coming out of the inn. ”

Two figures. When they left the inn, they covered half of their faces with scarves, shrunk their necks, and walked on the road. Exactly as the stone lock described, one is a short, skinny monkey, and the other is a bangzihead. The two men set off early, and as soon as it was dawn, they got up.

Xiao Jiling and Zhang Xiaoliu quietly got out of the firewood pile and followed behind.

In the morning of winter, the wild is full of white frost, the cold is pressing, the villages, roads, and hillsides next to the road seem to have not woken up, and there is no one in sight, and there is a touch of red glow on the east mountain, slowly filling half of the sky, the little ghost caged his sleeves, tilted his head, and said to Zhang Xiaoliu: "There is a horse bell behind you, is it coming over by stepping on the plate?" You see, the saddle is struggling, maybe it's brass. ”

Sure enough, there was a faint sound of horse bells behind him, and in the morning light, a carriage caught up from behind. The horses were athletic, they ran very fast, and in a moment they caught up.

There were two people sitting in the carriage, a middle-aged man driving the carriage, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, and at the back of the carriage sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy young man, with a childish face, carrying a dung basket on his back, and a five-strand dung fork on the basket, which seemed to be a half-sized man who followed the carriage to collect dung. In the carriage of the carriage was a large square wicker basket, which was so large that it almost filled the entire carriage, covered with a straw curtain, and I don't know what it was.

There was hoarfrost hanging on the horse's head, and the air from the horse's mouth became a white mist due to the cold, trotting all the way, the two people in the car couldn't stop bumping, and when the car went behind Xiao Jiling and Zhang Xiaoliu, the driver of the car shouted enthusiastically: "Walking buddy, are you tired?" Take a ride with you. ”

Zhang Xiaoliu waved his hand, "No, thank you, brother, it's cold, let's still do activities." ”

The carriage was running fast, and if it caught up with the black spider in front, it would be difficult to follow, so the two had no intention of taking the carriage. The driver smiled, flicked a whip, and the carriage continued to run forward.

After walking for a while, the sun rose and gradually entered the mountains, and the mountains on both sides were glowing with golden light in the sun, and they seemed to be full of life, and suddenly the little ghost pointed to the front and said, "Look." ”

The carriage in front of him caught up with the black spider and the head of the bangzi, the two boys got into the carriage one after another, and rode away, and the little clever stomped his foot regretfully, "Let's not take the car, people are not polite, this time it's troublesome." ”

The carriage ran fast, Xiao Jiling and Zhang Xiaoliu had to speed up their pace, trotting, and were so tired that they were panting, but fortunately both of them were young and strong, so they were not thrown off by the carriage. After chasing for a while, Zhang Xiaoliu said: "No, those two boys have been sitting in the carriage, are they just on the same road as this car?" ”

After calculating the distance, at least ten miles of land had been run out of the car just now, and the black spider and Bangzitou had been sitting in the car and had not come down, and the little ghost was also suspicious, "Yes, are they in a gang?" ”

All the way forward, the black spider and Bangzitou have been sitting in the carriage, except for the young man who occasionally gets out of the car to pick up some horse manure, but there is no other movement. Zhang Xiaoliu and the little wit behind him guessed left and right, but they could only open their legs and chase hard from afar, seeing that they were going deeper and deeper into the mountains, the mountain road was tortuous, and the population was getting thinner, the little wit gasped and said: "Why do I think we are like fools today." ”

"What can you do if you're not stupid? Chase after it. ”

The carriage in front of him came to a stop at the foot of a hill, and the young man who was collecting dung jumped out of the car, carried the dung basket on his back, and walked down the path to the mountain, while the black spider and Bangzitou also got out of the car and followed the young man up the mountain together. The carriage dropped three passengers, followed the main road, and continued to run forward.

Zhang Xiaoliu, who was hiding behind and peeping, and Xiao Clever guessed again, and they couldn't get the point after arguing for a while, but they only felt that the dung pickup boy went up the mountain to "pick up dung", and there was a big article. Zhang Xiaoliu said: "I have lived in the mountains for so many years, and I have seen people who go up to the mountains to hunt, but I have never seen people who go up to the mountains to collect dung. ”

Walking up the mountain road, there are steps and narrow roads everywhere, gradually rugged, and the young man in front of him and the black spider and Bangzitou talked and laughed all the way, until they came to a Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is built on a platform on the hillside, the scale is not large, and a few old trees in front of the door have a hug thickness, which seems to be some years. Zhang Xiaoliu said, "Let's go in too." ”

Approaching the gatehouse of the Taoist temple, I saw the three words "Water Cloud View" written on the lintel, pushed open the half-covered mountain gate, looked inside, a shadow wall blocked in front of me, there was no figure left and right, the two tiptoed, walked into the courtyard, just turned the shadow wall, but was startled, only to see the black spider, Bangzitou and the dung picker boy were standing on the back of the shadow wall, staring at the wall, the dung picker with the dung basket saw the two of them walk in, hehe smiled, "Let you take the carriage, you don't sit, you are tired of walking, right?" ”

"Hehe," the little wit smiled wryly, "who knew we were on the same road, and we both regretted it." ”

On the back of the shadow wall, there is a large yellow paper, on which a few lines of words are written, Zhang Xiaoliu and Xiao Jiling leaned over to take a look, and the paper reads: "Those who enter the temple and make a wish to travel, each person must first contribute three yuan of sesame oil money, silver and foreign money, put it in the merit box, and introduce it by his own acquaintance." Those who do not follow the rules will not be accepted, please turn back. (To be continued.) )
