Yingcheng County Yazhong.

Zhang Guozi's body was stiff and straight, lifeless.

Seeing Li Hongru and others coming, Zhang Lie also pulled Zhang Guozi's eyelids, and there were white eyeballs underneath.

If you die like this, it will be difficult for the gods to save you.

It was only at this time that Li Hongru seriously observed the true appearance of the other party.

This is the appearance of an old man in his sixties, with some white hair and a somewhat hunched back.

"Let's settle in the ground!"

In a small place like Yingcheng, the Dali Temple branch did not move in, and there were more than 20 people in the yamen.

That's the total number of people who keep the city safe.

And the external defense battalion is not something that can be used to work if it wants to be transferred, and it is already very hard to find people at this time.

Qin Huairen said.

The dead are dead, what can they do.

The money is difficult to recover, and you need to suffer a loss.

If there is no relationship between the county government, it is difficult to find Zhang Guozi.

"Alas, the case is closed!"

Zhang Lie sighed heavily, and then asked the officials to carry Zhang Guozi's body down.

He looked worried, and said to Qin Huairen that he would find a suitable mount as soon as possible, and then paced away.

"One hundred and twenty-two lives."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh a little.

"It's a pity that he has a good trick of turning into a donkey."

Although he despised Zhang Guozi's character, everyone was quite envious of Zhang Guozi's technique.

With this technique, it is much easier to travel, and there is no fear of encountering the accident of losing your mount.

The crowd whispered a few words, and finally had to wander around, and they had to find a place to eat some food.

At this time, everyone also followed Li Hongru closely.

When they bought a donkey, they emptied their own money, and it was difficult for everyone to have a penny, and if they wanted to take out some more silver, it would only be the valuables on the pawn.

"Shall we experience some folk suffering today?" Li Hongru asked.

"Do you want to eat bitter and sweet meals again" Pei Nie muttered: "Brother Hongru, you are so generous, invite us a few more meals." ”

"You haven't eaten a bitter meal yet," Li Hongru said with a smile.

"Could it be that there is a worse meal than the one we ate yesterday?"

"Dried vegetables with hard buns are worse than steamed cakes."

"That's the best meal in the inn that's all I can make."

"I hate the sand in the buns."

Everyone muttered for a while, and was about to go on the road, Li Hongru didn't think about eating badly, but the journey was quite long, and he really had to buy some dry food in advance, so he had to remember the bittersweet and sweet.

There is only one restaurant in Yingcheng, and everyone walked for a long time before they found the restaurant and sat in it together.

At this time, there were few customers in the restaurant.

There were only two temporary customers passing by, who ordered a peanut and wine, and took a few steamed buns, and chewed them slowly.

"Are there 900 steamed buns?"

After ordering the main meal, Li Hongru was also asking about the dry food.

The hard steamed buns in the inn are indeed a little sandy, look at the white steamed buns in the restaurant, the color is obviously much better, only need to blow in the cold wind, and it is suitable for becoming dry food for the journey after being frozen.

"Nine hundred?"

Xiao Er, who took the order, looked at the table in front of him, and suddenly felt that he had encountered the rhythm of the overlord's meal.

"Do you have enough money?"

Xiao Er asked in a low voice, and when Li Hongru put some broken silver on the table, he was relieved.

"As long as you have money, our Chunyue Building will definitely be able to make it" Xiao Er said: "I just need the guest officer to wait patiently, our boss took over a big deal yesterday, and the ingredients for making steamed buns were a little empty, and they didn't make up for it for a while." ”

"Could it be that someone else ordered a lot of steamed buns," Li Hongru said strangely.

"I just ordered rice noodles, probably thinking about going home and making them myself!"

After a few words of conversation, Li Hongru ordered dozens of catties of peanuts and asked for some cold meat, which solved the matter of dry food.

Everyone was full of wine and food, waiting for the restaurant to make steamed buns.

After a few hours, I saw Zhang Lie come again.

The other party took two servants and re-received some mounts.

This time, there was a bit of a mixture of mounts, including a yellow horse with a bad appearance, and a donkey with a low head, taking the route of mixing and matching.

It seems that Yingcheng's mount is indeed a bit difficult to handle.

"Young Master Qin! Ladies and gentlemen! ”

Zhang Lie's face was painful.

This is also a disaster for him.

It's just that he took on a troublesome matter, and he entrusted it to a non-person, so he could only be responsible for it to the end, and he put his old book into it.

"Thank you, Lord Zhang," Qin Huairen hugged his fist and said.

The mounts are complete, and although they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, they can barely make a long trip.

Zhang Lie also prepared some hay very thoughtfully, so that the horses and donkeys would not be able to find grass in the snow.

At this time, many steamed buns in the restaurant are also being baked.

Qin Huairen looked at the sky, there were still a few hours before it got dark at this time, and it was suitable for a long trip.

He talked to everyone, and everyone immediately nodded.

There are people waiting for dry food in the restaurant, there are people who take care of and adapt to the new mounts, and Li Hongru and others go back to the inn to clean up.

Li Hongru still has to bring Lao Huang over to meet.

Everyone has their own things, and there is a parting of ways for a while.

"It would be nice if we could learn the skill of turning a donkey into a hand, if we want to run the inn, we will directly call a little donkey to come out and travel."

"Yes, I haven't heard of any magic to turn into a little donkey, I'm afraid this kind of magic is going to be lost."

Along the way, Li Hongru and Li Wuji chattered.

Parting from Yingcheng, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.

After receiving the inn's storage and settling the accounts, Li Hongru led Lao Huang out.

Going to the restaurant again, Li Hongru sensed that something was wrong, and there was some confusion in his mind.

"How?" Li Wuji said.

"Something always feels wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"Maybe I'm a little too careful."

Some thoughts flowed in Li Hongru's mind, and some clues seemed to be felt in the messy clues.

"Remember when you called me back?" Li Hongru asked: "I was taken aback at the time, but the little Taoist priest of Tongxuanguan didn't seem to have any emotional changes, and it seemed to be a bit commonplace. ”

"Little Taoist?"

This is a person that Li Wuji pays less attention to.

I just remember that the other party was giving gruel to the poor.

"I stayed in Tongxuanguan for a long time, and I didn't see anyone go to offer incense, and there was no money in the merit box."

"They have to maintain the porridge and water of hundreds of people every day, and they have to survive themselves, how can they survive."

Li Hongru just thought about the 900 steamed buns he bought, and when he raised his hand, he counted two taels of silver and spent them.

Thin porridge is much more affordable than steamed bread, but if it takes a long time, it is also a lot of money.

Li Hongru felt that with the strength of the metaphysical view, it was difficult to support this kind of charity.

There is a high probability that the other party has property of unknown origin.

The more Li Hongru thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem with the metaphysical view.

In addition, the Guanzhi fruit died too strangely, and he actually fell into the pit while riding a magic donkey.

This way of dying is very bizarre, just like Li Hongru practicing his sword, practicing and practicing, stabbing himself to death with a sword.

Many of the clues in his mind were difficult to form, but he sensed that something was wrong.

"Why don't we go to the metaphysical temple again?" Li Wuji said.

"Look," Li Hongru nodded.

"Go quietly."

"It's up to you."

Li Hongru can only swagger when he goes to Tongxuanguan, but Li Wuji has a skill, and there is no problem in jumping up and down.

was instigated by Li Hongru, and Li Wuji finally agreed.

He rode Lao Huang slowly, while Li Wuji ran quickly.

After staying for a while, he was almost close to Tongxuanguan, and suddenly saw Li Wuji coming like a big bird.

"The door to the Xuanguan was closed, I found a prescription place and went up to the wall, water was boiling inside, I thought it was boiling porridge, but I didn't expect to open the lid, and it was boiling people."

"Cook people?" Li Hongru said strangely.

"Yes, there is a young man with a purple body soaking in hot water in it, and when I look at his face, he seems to be faintly like the offspring of the old donkey seller Zhang Guozi."

"He's in the metaphysical temple, where did he get some descendants."

Li Hongru sneered, and suddenly thought of some old immortals that Li Baoguo had mentioned.

"Could it be that you are good at fast aging, and you are good at pretending to be dead, and you have deceived us?"

A combination of many spells can produce unexpected results.

Use the speed aging technique to make reverse use, turn yourself into an old person, and then demonstrate that rejuvenating children and pretending to be immortals is a means of cheating money.

But if you use this method to change your appearance, it is also an application.

Combined with some weird spells, it may not be impossible to escape from prison.

Thinking of Zhang Guozi's attainments in using paper-based donkey techniques, Li Hongru's doubts couldn't help but deepen a little.

He decided to see for himself.

After all, he can still see some falsehoods with his heavenly eyes.
