Sichuan and Shu are mountainous, the road is difficult, even if there are good horses, the speed of the two is not fast.

When she had a little free time, Xu Ruoxue instructed the little Taoist priest in his swordsmanship. She has no selfishness, and the little Taoist priest is naturally humble in learning, and she consciously makes rapid progress.

On this day, when they arrived at Shunqing Mansion, the two entered the city to rest.

After going to the restaurant station and other places as usual, but still found nothing, the two found an inn to live in.

It's really hard to sleep in the open on this road. After a full meal of local specialties first, Xu Ruoxue took the little Taoist priest to the lively place for a walk. The little Taoist priest also bought a lot of high-quality rouge gouache, Xu Ruoxue said no, but she was really happy in her heart.

After returning to the inn, the two went to sleep.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the little Taoist priest can't sleep after tossing and turning in bed. Since that night, he and Xu Ruoxue have not been in love. The so-called full of warm thoughts, this is finally settled down, how can he still hold back when he eats the marrow and knows the taste?

The little Taoist priest got up quietly, slipped to the opposite side, and knocked on the door.

How many knocks, but didn't answer? Knock again, keep knocking, I'll go, this little lady must be shy, otherwise, even a pig will wake up.

At his insistence, Xu Ruoxue's voice finally sounded in the room: "What are you doing, Dead Daoist." ”

"Ruoxue, I have something I want to discuss with you, can you open the door?"

"Dead Taoist, there must be nothing good, don't open it."

"It's urgent, it's very hot. If I don't discuss it tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night. ”

"Turn right when you go out, and walk two hundred steps to the east, and there is an alley dedicated to quenching the fire of men. Hmph, didn't you look at it three more times just after that. ”

"Hey, I don't eat the best shark fin, but what kind of pig food? If it snows, it's good, my heart is very hot. ”

"It's easier to do. Go downstairs and turn right three steps, there is a well in the small courtyard on the east side, you jump down, and you can make sure that any fire will be extinguished. ”

I'll go, this wicked woman is so ruthless!

The little Taoist priest of the qi knot pushed the door directly, but no matter how hard he tried, the door did not move at all.

In the house, Xu Ruoxue, who was leaning on the head of the bed, said with a smile: "This woman has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and when she goes out, how can she not prevent fire and theft and flower thieves." ”

After a few more pushes, I heard the little Taoist priest outside the house sigh: "Okay, Ruoxue, you should rest early." ”

Then there were footsteps, then there was the sound of the door closing.

Xu Ruoxue was stunned, I'll go, give up so easily? Is this girl worth your effort?

After listening for a while, there was no movement outside the door, Xu Ruoxue couldn't help but say angrily: "You stupid Taoist, the door is closed, you won't try to push down the window?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice outside the door laughing: "I'm a stupid Taoist priest, just waiting for Madame's words." ”

Xu Ruoxue was ashamed, and after an exclamation of "ah", her face was flushed. She buried her head in the bed, never daring to probe again.

A flower thief entered through the window, laughed disgustingly, and at once burst over and held her down.

Xu Ruoxue sighed.

……

The next day, the first thing the little Taoist priest did after going downstairs was to retreat into the upper room. What are you kidding, although Miss Xu is rich, she can save it, isn't it?

It wasn't until he finished eating breakfast that Xu Ruoxue went downstairs delicately. Looking at the walking posture of Xu Nuxia, the little Taoist priest was very proud, which made the beauty very shy.

After this night, the two stayed in the inn, and they were inseparable all day, as good as honey and oil. The little Taoist priest wanted to rest for only two days, but the more he stayed, the more he didn't want to leave. The little Taoist priest sighed, no wonder many people want beauties not to be beautiful, it turns out that the power of beauties is really so full!

Fortunately, the little Taoist priest was resolute after all, and after the fifth day, he finally gritted his teeth, pulled the angry Xu Ruoxue, and left Shunqing Mansion.

Along the way, it was a meal and a camp, Xu Ruoxue made a small temperament, and forced the little Taoist to practice swordsmanship whenever she was free, and the little Taoist sweated profusely. annoyed the little Taoist, and every time there was no one around, he pestered her to practice the "cheap method", which also made her sweat profusely.

After more than a month, he arrived in Lizhou.

When they set off from Puzhou, the two were still an awkward couple. After arriving in Lizhou, the two were reluctant to leave Xuzhou for a moment.

After resting at the inn for a day, the little Taoist priest went to find Mamoto Mamoto.

Mamoru Mamoko is easy to find. He is a true disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, which has a Taoist temple in Lizhou called Jiuxiao Temple.

Jiuxiao view is a big road view, and the building is not magnificent. On weekdays, incense should be at its peak, but this time it is sparsely populated. At the gate of the Taoist temple, there is not even a Taoist child.

After entering, I only listened to the birdsong, but did not see the human voice. The little Taoist priest felt more and more strange as he walked, and finally saw a middle-aged Taoist priest, he stepped forward and bowed, and asked: "Daoist friend mercy, may I ask where is the Taoist master of Shouzhenzi?" ”

The Taoist priest's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "Uncle Shi is not here. Near Japan, if you don't burn incense and don't place orders, you will go back where you come from. After speaking, the Taoist priest bowed his head and hurriedly left.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the little Taoist priest turned around and wanted to slip away, but it was too late.

A fast-looking man had already greeted him and shouted, "That Taoist priest, if you want to find Shou Zhenzi, come and come, and lead you there." ”

Xu Ruoxue snorted coldly, and pressed her hand on the Blood Sea Sword. The little Taoist priest blocked her hand with his body and shook his head imperceptibly.

Seeing that a few catchers behind him surrounded him, the little Taoist priest arched his hand and smiled: "That's it, then there will be a labor catcher." ”

A few arresters escorted the two of them through a large hall and came to a side room, in which sat two officials and three old Taoist priests.

As soon as he saw the Taoist priest among them, the little Taoist priest stepped forward and bowed his head: "Master Li is above, please accept the junior worship." ”

The Taoist priest said, "Who is the Taoist friend?" Why do you do this great gift? ”

The little Taoist priest was even more curious: "Ah, how can this be? Uncle Shouzhen didn't even mention this to Uncle Wuzhen?

"That's right. The younger generation is a Huoju Taoist priest in Bazhou, and he has a relationship with Uncle Shouzhen. Seeing that the younger generation was dedicated to the Tao and had pure qualifications, Uncle Shouzhen said that he would introduce the disciples of the Shenxiao faction. ”

"The younger generation has been waiting for news in Bazhou for a long time, but there is no news. In a hurry, I brought my wife to find it, and wanted to stay in Jiuxiao Temple, with a long-cherished dream of my life! ”

"Uncle Shouzhen, the three generations of the younger generations are Taoist priests, the ancestors have a descendant temple in Bazhou, and the younger generations are familiar with the "Morning and Evening Homework Sutra", "Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching", "Duren Sutra", and have studied the "Shangqing Sutra" ......"

His mouth is like a river, and there are many words, like the water of the Yellow River surging endlessly, and its surging momentum makes the few people sitting there have a big headache when they hear it.

The official at the guest of honor took the teacup and coughed, but the little Taoist priest was unaware. The official frowned, snorted coldly, and the little Taoist priest saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and his waist pole was straight, and he immediately said: "This lord is invited, the three generations of poor Taoist ancestors are all true people, and the family heirloom 'Qingwei Heavenly Venerable Blessing Array' is very effective, seeking wealth and wealth, seeking officials and promotions." Adults look at it and are in a high position, so it's better to try it. The price is not expensive, and a small dojo is only three hundred taels of silver. The dojo is even more cost-effective,......"

The catcher was stupid to hear, and it was really fearless for the ignorant. In front of Lord Zhizhou, this little Taoist priest just talked nonsense to his face, and even cheated money in person.

Lord Zhizhou waved his hand impatiently, and Wu Zhenzi in the middle hurriedly said: "This Taoist friend, I have something to do recently, and I don't accept incense, let alone accept Taoist priests. Senior brother, you have to send off your friends. ”

The little Taoist priest shouted: "Don't, from Bazhou to Lizhou, the poor road walked for a full thirty-seven days, and spent thirteen yuan and another three thousand one hundred and twenty-seven copper coins, the poor road ......."

He still had to fight for it again, but the old Taoist couldn't hold it anymore, so he pulled him away like a plague.

When he walked to the side door, and seeing that no one was paying attention, the old Taoist gently knocked on the door three times with his hand, and then closed the door.

The little Taoist priest made a full set of plays, and muttered and walked away. After walking a long distance, Xu Ruoxue couldn't wait to say: "Husband, this matter is very strange, and the Shou Zhenzi you are looking for is afraid that he will get into great trouble." ”

The little Taoist priest's face was as gloomy as water, and he glared at her. Isn't this nonsense?

The two rode horses, returned to the inn, and after entering the room, Xu Ruoxue asked, "Husband, what happened, why is your face so ugly?" ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "Hey, Ruoxue, I'm afraid this thing is coming at me." Someone set up a net in the Nine Nights, waiting for me to throw myself into the net. If I hadn't talked nonsense, I am afraid you and I would not have been able to get out today. “

Xu Ruoxue was shocked: "How can this be? ”

"Ruoxue, some of the things in Sanniu Village in Dazhou and Prince Gong's Mansion in Chongqing, I have hidden some of them, for fear that you will worry. Now it seems that it is no longer possible to say otherwise. ”

At that moment, the little Taoist priest told the mysterious gang one by one.

Xu Ruoxue said: "Dragon, when you are diving in the abyss, no one knows!" Dragon, when it soars into the air, the world is shocked! Our Great Song Dynasty really has this mysterious force! ”

The little Taoist priest sighed: "Yes, I didn't dare to believe it when I was in Sanniu Village, but after I arrived at Prince Gong's Mansion, I was sure of it." ”

He smiled bitterly: "They claim that they can stir up the storm with a wave of their hand; In a moment's time, you can decide the life and death of the people. I believe that now, too. ”

Xu Ruoxue frowned and said, "The official in the side room today is a member of the fourth grade. That mysterious force can command a court official, such a power is really terrifying. Husband, you have ruined their big things twice in a row. I'm afraid,"

Speaking of this, Xu Ruoxue got up and left: "Husband, let's leave Lizhou and go back to Qingcheng." ”

The little Taoist priest sat still: "If it snows, will the Qingcheng Sword Sect be able to protect me?" Besides, if it's because of the incident in Sanniu Village, then Shou Zhenzi was just dragged down by me and suffered from the pond fish. Now that he is in danger, abandoning him and ignoring such things, I can't do it. ”

Xu Ruoxue was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "But,"

The little Taoist priest waved his hand and stopped what she was about to say: "Ruoxue, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me." Hey, this time it's extremely dangerous, I can't drag you down, you can go back to Qingcheng by yourself. ”

Xu Ruoxue was furious: "What is this saying, husband?" You and I are husband and wife, your life and death are my life and death, how can I give up my life and death. ”

The little Taoist priest persuaded two more words, and when he saw that Xu Ruoxue didn't listen, he acquiesced. After all, although his Taoist skills are excellent, his martial arts are sparse, if Xu Ruoxue's guards are missing, I am afraid that he will be dead and alive this time.

"Husband, now that Jiuxiaoguan is being targeted to death by the government, where should we start with the matter of Shou Zhenzi?" Xu Ruoxue asked.

The little Taoist priest replied, "It's simple. The old Taoist priest who sent us out knocked three times on the side door, which must have invited us to meet at the side door at the third watch tonight. ”

The third watch sounded, and the little Taoist priest was already waiting outside the Jiuxiao Temple.

He was anxious: Hey, Shou Mako, what happened to you?
