The next day, the caravan packed up and restarted.

Due to the addition of female dependents, the few carriages were used for them to ride (perhaps Steward Xu informed the women of Li Ang's arrangements yesterday, and the women's crying was no longer heard in the carriage),

Li Ang and other distinguished guests had no choice but to hurry away on their own horses.

At first, Steward Xu and Yang Er were still a little worried, thinking that a master like Siemens Taoist might not be good at riding horses, and the next trip would wear out the cross.

I didn't expect several Dao masters to ride well, especially that Kun Dao (that is, Liu Wuxi. The male Taoist is called the dry road, and the female Taoist is called Kundao. ）

"Master Yang, Manager Xu, the two of you have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, have you ever heard any strange stories such as ghosts, mountain spirits, strange people and strange things?"

Li Ang rode on the horse, chatting with Steward Xu and them.

"Chikai?"

Steward Xu didn't know what he thought of, and sighed, "Dao Elder should have heard of it, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Wu Dewei, right?" ”

Leon nodded, "I've heard a little." ”

"A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Master Daokai sent the patriarch Zhang Tianshi with Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng's two disciples to climb Qingcheng Mountain, and use the Taishang Laojun Sword Seal Talisman,

Will be handsome in the eight divisions, subdue the demons of the outer way, punish the evil and hypocrisy, cut down the mountains and break the temple all the way, sweep away the blood and food gods, and save the people.

Since then, the Heavenly Master Tao of Longhu Mountain has become the supreme religion of all dynasties and has been courteous to the whole country. ”

The chubby Steward Xu stretched out his fat hand, pinched his beard, and said leisurely: "Most of the Taoist masters of Longhu Mountain are ethereal and extinct in the secluded mountains and forests, and they don't care about the world, and only a few disciples walk the world and clean up the ghosts.

It's a pity that I don't have the good fortune to meet a master. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Steward Xu felt speechless, and hurriedly said to Li Ang: "Of course, Siemens is a master of Taoism, a scholar of heaven and man, a natural body, pure and quiet inside and outside, and a master of light. ”

"Hehe, Steward Xu is polite."

Li Ang waved his hand, not caring about this freshly baked sycophant, "The Dragon and Tiger Mountain Dao Leader who walks the world, has he ever had a name?" ”

"It's... I have never heard of it. ”

Steward Xu shook his head and said: "There is more than one sect in the world, in addition to Longhu Mountain, there are also Quanzhen, Jingming and so on. It's just that most of the Taoist leaders who go down the mountain don't seek fame and fortune, and even if they exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, they rarely leave their names.

In recent years, there have been a lot fewer stories of exorcism and impeachment of the enchanting gods.

On the contrary, it was Wu Dewei's news, which was widely circulated among the people. ”

"Oh?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows,

The world is in the decay and decline of the feudal dynasty, the so-called country will die, there will be demons, according to Zhu Xuemin's statistics, in recent decades, the frequency and density of demon news from all over the country has increased year by year,

It is only because natural and man-made disasters such as floods, droughts, locust plagues, military disasters, and plagues are more sinister and the impact is even worse that the great harm of demons is concealed.

Steward Xu said leisurely: "In the past, Wu Dewei only collected orphans and abandoned babies from the people, suffered their minds, strained their muscles and bones, starved their bodies and skin, and emptied their bodies.

When he becomes an adult, he is loyal to the king, loves the country, is honest with others, is not afraid of demons and evils, and is brave and good at fighting.

Fang has to receive tokens, wear perseverance, become a martial virtue guard, make magic swords, dancer knives, control the Xuan seal, guard the state and county, inspect all places, and suppress the evil in the world.

However, the situation was difficult and chaotic, the imperial court was weak, and for a hundred years, Wu Dewei no longer adhered to the tradition of only recruiting orphans, and began to select elite soldiers from the army. ”

Li Ang shook his head and said, "If you retrain as an adult, you must not have cultivated it well since childhood." ”

"Exactly,"

Steward Xu sighed, "The demons are weird and powerful, and some demons even have to send a large army to gather and besiege before they can be repulsed.

Wu Dewei was originally the pro-army of the Son of Heaven,

But the feudal towns have been divided for a long time, and Wu Dewei, who is scattered in the prefectures and counties, also has a faint meaning of each for his own lord and for his own war.

Deal with local demons, there are many casualties. ”

After that, Steward Xu paused and sighed: "If it weren't for Wu Dewei's lax armament, the White Lotus Sect would not have acted so arrogantly and dared to 'educate' the bandits outside Luzhou City. ”

Talking about this topic, Steward Xu and Yang Er were both a little depressed and dull.

Wu Dewei didn't work hard, evil spirits were everywhere, and they who worked for the caravan were naturally greatly affected.

As for why he didn't give up his business and stay in one place...

It can only be said that the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and he can't pay taxes, and before waiting for the demons, the government has to eat the commercial houses first.

"By the way, speaking of Zhiwei, I heard a story a few days ago."

Yang Er cheered up and said: "It is said that in a village in Monzhou, the wife of the village chief has just died and has not yet been buried. One evening, the children were keeping a watch in the church, and suddenly they heard the sound of distant music, and gradually came to the courtyard.

The corpse in the hall began to tremble slightly, and a moment later, a white-clothed female corpse sat up from the funeral bed and danced alone to the sound of music from nowhere.

The family was dumbfounded and frightened, and did not dare to stop it, so they could only watch as the female corpse came out of the music and fell to the ground at the threshold.

After a while, he got up again, jumped out of the door, and disappeared into the forest.

At that time, it was getting late, and the forest was pitch black, and the whole village did not dare to chase it, until one watch, when the drunken village chief came home, and heard that his dead wife was chasing after him, he was furious, broke the mulberry branch in front of the door, and chased into the forest.

It wasn't until the mass grave five or six miles away that I saw my wife dressed in a supernatural spirit jumping and dancing in front of a tree.

The village chief was also drunk and courageous, and he was not afraid, but yelled,

The zombie turned around when she heard the human voice and grinned at her husband in a horrible grin.

Without hesitation, the village chief lifted the mulberry branch and beat it, the zombie immediately fell to the ground, and the music stopped, so the village chief carried the zombie back to his home, and buried it smoothly according to the rules a few days later. ”

"And that kind of thing?"

Li Ang smiled dumbly, "This drunk man is much more terrifying than the charm." ”

"yes."

Yang Er also smiled: "This is what I heard from a drinking friend, I heard that the music that attracted the corpse is called confusion, what is confusion?" ”

"Puzzle Spirit."

Li Ang said: "There is a cloud in the "Evening Burial Record": 'When a person dies newly, his soul will not be dispersed, and there is an official palm music in the underworld, advocating that the deceased will be led into the underworld and cannot ascend to heaven, which is called confusing the spirit. ’”

"That's supposed to be the name."

Yang Er nodded in admiration: "The Taoist is really naturalistic. ”

Li Ang smiled, looked at the low mountain in front of him, and said lightly: "Hurry up, the gate of the small city in front of you is about to close." ”

"Goose City behind the mountain?"

With all the previous performances, Yang Er was not surprised that Li Ang was able to know the news of the imminent closure of the county town in front of him in advance (in fact, it was told by the scout soldiers flying in the sky. ）

As soon as the whistle was blown, the horses were urged, and the caravan was quickened to rush to the Goose City.
