In the west of Hangzhou, there is a dense shantytown.

This is a gathering place for ordinary people in Hangzhou, densely covered by private houses, and only a few small alleys run through.

After a rainy day, the temperature dropped, and many people came out with horses and sat at the gate of their homes, in groups of three and five.

Soak in a pot of dragon wells, hold a pu fan, play chess, and laugh and laugh.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, and the people of Hangzhou City have more than enough food and clothing, which is really a rare peaceful atmosphere.

At the end of an alley, there is a three-hall house with white walls and gray tiles.

The people in the alley all knew that this was the property of a rich family surnamed Wu.

Old Man Wu is now in good health, in his fifties, and has a full house of children and grandchildren.

On weekdays, Zhouji Township has a good reputation. It's just that I've long since moved to the East Side.

However, recently, I can always see some strange discrepancies, which provoke a lot of discussions.

At this moment, outside the middle hall of the old man's house, the ethereal Zen master sat on a rattan rocking chair, holding a pu fan in his hand, and between shaking and shaking, a pair of tiger eyes were half-knocked and half-closed.

On the coffee table on one side of the rattan chair, a pot of good Longjing tea and two plates of dim sum are placed.

Surrounded by bamboo forests, the cool breeze is blowing.

got rid of the henchman of the Mingjiao demon girl, which made the ethereal Zen master feel very happy.

"Han Lin'er is old and weak, and his son is an ambitious person, but unfortunately, he died. This demon girl is now the pillar of Mingjiao, and now it has fallen into the hands of the government. Within Mingjiao, there is bound to be a great chaos. God help me. There are no people from the Ming Sect to make trouble, as long as the treasure of Zhang Jiusi can be successfully revealed, why worry that my White Lotus Sect can't do something big? It's providential. ”

Ethereal thought triumphantly.

"Sect Master, the little one has found out that this ingots were indeed found in Wenzhou. The little one has already sent someone to settle the family. ”

At this moment, in front of the ethereal Zen master, there are still four people sitting.

One of them held a feather fan in his hand, wore a Tang scarf on his head, was emaciated, and had a goatee on his chin, which at first glance thought was Zhuge Kongming alive.

This person is the great protector of Maitreya, named Zhuge Zheng, and he claims to be a descendant of Zhuge Liang.

With that, he handed the silver ingot in his hand to Ethereal.

Ethereal took this silver ingot, sat up and took a look, this is a big ingot of one hundred taels, on the front of the silver ingot, engraved: "God bless two years" words.

The back is engraved: "Beijing pin silver." "Four big words.

Then he took out a silver ingot from his bosom, which was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

"After Zhang Shicheng established the Great Zhou, the year name was heavenly. This batch of silver ingots was cast by me back then. However, this batch of silver ingots was not in circulation, and was directly transported by my senior brother. These silver ingots are undoubtedly Zhang Shicheng's treasures. Ethereal smiled faintly.

At this time, these people sitting there all had smiles on their faces.

"Sect Master, if you find the whereabouts of this silver ingot, you have found Zhang Shicheng's treasure. When we open up this wealth, my White Lotus Sect will make a comeback, and it will not be empty talk. Zhuge Zheng laughed.

"In this case, without further ado, we must go south as soon as possible. It just so happened that the demon girl of the Ming Sect fell into the hands of the government, and she had no time to take care of us. When the source of this silver ingot is found, he will follow the vine and touch the melon, so as not to worry about not finding the treasure. Ethereal stood up and said.

At this time, a porter dressed in gray and patched pants hurriedly entered the middle courtyard with a flat load of vegetables.

He put down his burden, hurriedly walked to the ethereal spirit, bowed his waist and said, "Sect Master, it's not good. ”

Ethereal couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "It's really unlucky." With a little impatience, he asked, "What's wrong with the demon girl?" ”

"The little one just saw the demon girl appear, and he and that Zhang Mu were playing in the West Lake together. The attitude of the two people is very ambiguous. Laughing. It seems ......, it doesn't seem to be what it looks like to be in captivity. The porter said.

Hearing this, Ethereal's face changed suddenly.

Zhuge Zheng said: "Sect Master, could it be that the demon girl has taken refuge in the imperial court?" ”

Ethereal nodded slightly, "There is a possibility." If the enchantress and the court join forces, things will not be good. ”

"What is the origin of this Zhang Mu?" Zhuge Zheng asked.

Ethereal frowned, "It's not clear, this guy is like a sudden pop out of a crack in the stone." I only know that he is a squire of Yongkang, and he has a very good relationship with the lord of Jiangdu. also knew that he was the head of this year's hospital examination. ”

"If he participated in the college examination to get a show, then he shouldn't have an official position. If you have an official position, what else do you do with the imperial examination? Zhuge Zheng analyzed.

"That's what I thought, too, but this kid is weird. When the painting boat fought with the demon girl, the demon girl said that the purpose of his coming to Hangzhou was to take revenge. Judging from our raid on Mingjiao that day, this Zhang Mu is indeed the enemy of the demon girl. According to the strength of the demon girl, it is easy to kill him, why would she suddenly be so ambiguous with him? I thought that Zhang Mu would hand him over to the government, but now it seems that things are not so simple. The ethereal Zen master said.

"Maybe it's because we're too careful, after all, in the face of such a large amount of wealth, how can anyone not be tempted? It is also possible that this Zhang Mu was subdued by the demon girl. If you want the demon girl to be weak in the local area, if you want to fight us, you also need manpower. Zhuge Zheng said.

"There is some truth in what the military advisor said. Let's go, let's go and see for ourselves, if this Zhang Mu is just subdued by the demon girl, then it's okay to say. If this kid is really from the government, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to do. With that, the ethereal Zen master walked towards the gate.

At that moment, the people in the courtyard hurriedly followed him and walked outside.

About half an hour later, the Ethereal Zen Master and his party hurried to the shore of the West Lake.

Hurriedly found a small boat, and the four or five people headed in the direction of the three pools and the moon.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a painting boat from a distance, which was anchored near the three pools and the moon.

On the painting boat, a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old was holding a wine glass and laughing, and the one standing on his side was clearly the demon girl of Mingjiao.

Although the demon girl is wearing men's clothes, the ethereal Zen master can see it really.

The two of them leaned against the edge of the railing, looking really ambiguous.

At this time, the painting boat gradually approached the island in the center of the West Lake.

The ethereal Zen master waved his hand and said, "Catch up and take a look, we are in the shadows, and it is not easy to be discovered." ”

After a while, the painting boat arrived at the dock, and several guards got off the boat first, and then Zhang Mu followed closely with a guard and helped the demon girl to the shore.

They quietly parked the ship in the distance, and immediately felt into the woods.
