"Yes, sir, there were a total of thirteen guests who stayed in our inn last night, all of whom stayed before and after the unitary time, and there were no guests who came at night at all."

"Yes, then we won't check, so as not to delay the rest of the guests."

Hmm, why the sudden politeness, is it? In the blink of an eye, these people who have been seeing the people like fierce gods have become better on weekdays, can they!

Jiang Liu stood on the ground and listened carefully, it was not the voice of the shopkeeper, it should be the voice of the catcher, it was the catcher who spoke in an instant, and then he heard another voice say; "Damn, a bully died, it's worth our fight, it's over if I deal with it, okay, boss, let's go, you'll check it here, boss, don't forget, you have to set a table for us at the storm at noon."

"Yes, yes, I can't forget, I can't forget," it may be the voice of the boss, although Jiang Liu has not seen the boss, he can analyze it.

Kicking, stomping, after the chaotic footsteps, everything returned to calm, Jiang Liu then thought about it, at first he was dreaming, Chai Wok was really dead, and now it is the messenger who checked the shop and left, then, when will he stay, quickly, Jiang Liu walked out of the house, observed vigilantly, and after confirming that the officials were gone, he hurriedly came to the edge of the well, fetched water to wash his face, and then came to the front desk, found the guy, and after settling the account, he gave the guy an extra money.

As soon as Jiang Liu walked out of the door of the inn, the shopkeeper kicked out, and Jiang Liu was so frightened that he panicked for a while, until the shopkeeper pulled Jiang Liu and said; "Last night our county town Chai Lao was poisoned, that is a powerful character, I heard that Chai Lao Ye killed countless people, after killing a person, but also to find a girl to help him alchemy, for this county girls were not less by him scourge, just now came a group of officials, to investigate the poisoning of Chai Master people, was sold by my boss, so, they didn't even enter the guest room, at that time I was worried about you, just when you stayed was around the time, but now it's okay, you go quickly, save a while and come to the official errand."

After listening to the guy's verbosity, Jiang Liu's panicked heart calmed down a little, he hurriedly thanked him, and then left the county without looking back.

The river wants to go home, the road is very far, take the dry road to climb over a mountain, cross a ridge, and walk nearly a hundred miles to get home, take the waterway, much simpler, save more trouble, take a boat, go down the river, you can watch the scenery on the shore from afar, enjoy the river water closely, put a pot of turbid wine, watch the tide rise and fall, and the rowing people come to chat a few words, add a little sorrow, chant a section of willow bank, the wind and the waning moon, and vent all kinds of helplessness after the fall, a thousand sorrows.

Helplessly, there are many risks in the waterway, and the river has fallen to the point where it is now, and it is all caused by the waterway, so as soon as he walked out of the county seat, the river made up his mind and went back along the old road, taking advantage of the money now, first to keep himself for a night, for himself to eat water and rice, some money, and then go back to the dilapidated temple to see what is going on.

Don't report the robbery by the robbers, don't talk about the fact that you were tricked into the robbers' den and almost died, the gold is definitely not your own, according to the big ghost, it shouldn't be the two robbers, what is going on, I don't understand, I don't want to, bury the gold back to the place where I met the monk, and leave it to the monk to deal with, anyway, the gold is not my own, as for the money turned out from the three dead ghosts, it can just be worth the money that they robbed of it, which is called the restoration of heavenWhoever should be is who's.

The river was walking fast, very tired, there was no way, the wanderer returned home, how could there be no eagerness, walking, walking, he arrived at the previous small village, came to the old man's house, said a few words to the old man, quietly put down some money, said goodbye to the old man, and went to the temple.

This time he did not enter through the mountain gate, but walked to the backyard from the collapsed ruins, and went directly to the house of the little monk, looked up at the open-air roof, and said to the pile of straw; "Master monk, I was chased and killed by the robbers in a daze, and thanks to your gift, I got a small bag of gold from the robbers, but unexpectedly, in the process of suing the official, I caused trouble, fortunately there is a powerful little worm in the small bamboo tube you gave, which saved my life, and now I will return these things to you, I can't find you, so I have to bury these things in the ground of this room, and when you come back, you will naturally be able to find them."

After Jiang Liu finished talking to the straw pile where the little monk had slept, he immediately dug a small pit on the ground with his hands, took out a small cloth bag containing gold, and put it in the pit, and then he went to take out the small bamboo tube in his arms, and when he took out the bamboo tube, he still felt light, but when he wanted to put the small bamboo tube in the pit, he couldn't hold the small bamboo tube.

Ding Dong, the small bamboo tube fell on Jiang Liu's feet, the pain was unbearable, strange, helpless, Jiang Liu held the bamboo tube that fell on his feet with both hands, but the small bamboo tube did not move at all, seeing that his feet were about to be pressed into the ground, Jiang Liu had no choice but to bend down again and reach out to take the small bamboo tube, this time the small bamboo tube was the same as the beginning, light as nothing, Jiang Liu subconsciously put the small bamboo tube into his arms again, there was no heavy feeling.

Try again, Jiang Liu came to curiosity, took out a small bamboo tube, and wanted to put it in the pit as heavy as a thousand jun, he couldn't put it in, and put it back in his arms, so he was fluttering, helpless, Jiang Liu said; "It looks like you're on me, and I don't care what you're doing, so I'll take you with me."

Jiang Liu buried the bag of gold, clapped his hands, and went on the road again, over the mountains and mountains, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, needless to say, the bubbles on the feet fell layer by layer, and finally became cocoons, and he saw Zhushan County, where is home, so his footsteps immediately became lighter.

Jiang Liu's home is close to the east of Zhushan County, Jiangjiachong, is a big family, Jiang Liu's father in the early years of Jiangbei County, nearly thousands of miles away from his hometown, served two terms as a county minister, and later saw that he was not used to the darkness of officialdom, so he had to return to his hometown, according to his father, Jiang Liu did not let Jiang Liu go to the exam, but Jiang Liu felt that the Jiang family should be stronger than the generation, as the so-called blue out of the blue and better than the blue, so, Jiang Liu, who had studied hard for ten years, went to Jiangning Mansion to catch the exam with full confidence that he would be successful, but the result was not successful.

Jiang Liu passed through the county seat, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a young man wearing linen and filial piety hurrying from the village. "Second brother, why do you wear linen and filial piety?"

The young man lifted up his eyes, and saw that it was a river, and took three steps and two steps, ran to him, grabbed his hand, and choked up, and said; "Your father, my second uncle, passed away yesterday, and before he died, he opened his eyes and waited for you to come back, still nagging in his mouth, he shouldn't have taken the test, he shouldn't have taken the test."

Jiang Liu listened to his second brother's words, screamed, and fainted, and when he woke up, he was already in his own house.

The relatives of the clan were all in their own yards, and when they saw the river and woke up, the elders of the clan said; "Jiang Liu, come and close your father's eyes."

Jiang Liu mourned, knelt in front of his father's coffin, and cried; "Father, the unfilial son has returned, and I regret not listening to my father's teachings, not only did I not go to high school, but I am still in danger."

After Jiang Liu finished crying this, he reached out and closed his father's eyes that had been open, and the patriarch breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted loudly; "Third brother, let's go with confidence, Liu'er is back!"

In the dark, Jiang Liu followed the clansmen to take care of his father's funeral in tears, and the two sisters who had already left the cabinet returned to their home in the neighboring village with their men on the night of the funeral, and Jiang Liu was the only one left in the house.

Seeing relatives and friends disperse one by one, Jiang Liu returned to calm, burned the first seven, Jiang Liu felt very sleepy, and it didn't matter whether it was dark or day, he fell asleep on the bed, he slept until midnight, as if he felt that he was floating lightly in the air, he looked at the sky, gray, looked at the ground, clearly saw that there was a temple that had just been built, the red mountain gate was wide open, and entered the courtyard before and after entering the mountain gate, the front yard was the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which enshrined the Buddha, Manjushri and the eighteen Arhats, Facing the Buddha, it was a small monk wearing a purple robe who was folding his hands to worship the Buddha, and behind the monk stood a monk wearing a gray robe.

Jiang Liu wanted to take a closer look at who the two monks were, but a gust of wind blew, and the two monks were gone, but he saw a person walking in from outside the mountain gate, with a medium stature, a white face, a bookish face, wearing a bamboo cloth gray robe, Jiang Liu felt that this person was very familiar, and he was about to identify it carefully, when suddenly a fog filled him.

The river was floating in the thick fog, and he was feeling that he was stuffy and hot, when suddenly the fishy wind blew, and the thick fog disappeared in an instant, and a blue and white python opened its bloody mouth and writhed its huge body towards him.

Jiang Liu screamed; "I'm dying!"

Then came the crow of the big rooster of the reed flower in the yard; "Oh, oh, oh," the golden rooster announced, the sky was light, Jiang Liu woke up, opened his eyes and sat up, the birds in front of the house and behind the house began to chirp non-stop, Jiang Liu felt very lazy, couldn't help but get off the ground, pushed open the door and walked towards the yard, to the yard, he saw that the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs of the family were all around, so he had to feed them first, and then walked out of the yard, towards a hill not far away.

This hill is called Youdao Mountain, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, called Wuliang Temple, there are often three or five Taoist people living in the Taoist temple, sometimes more, sometimes less, only the long hair is elegant, the face is furrowed, the eyes are only a slit, the body is surprisingly tall, he wears a cyan Taoist robe all year round, no one knows his age, and he lives in the Taoist temple for many years.

Jiang Liushen sent a ghost, walked up the mountain, unconsciously came to the Taoist temple, he didn't think about pushing open the mountain gate and walked in, he just walked in a step, he heard a sudden sound like a crane behind him; "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, sin, sin, wonderful, wonderful!"

Early in the morning, the sun has not yet come out, the river flow feels strange, turn around, fix your eyes, take a closer look, it turns out to be the host of the view, holding a Buddha Chen in his hand, his hands are rubbing, facing the river.

Immediately Jiang Liu also folded his hands and prayed; "I don't know if I went out of the mountain gate so early, it's very abrupt, very abrupt, and I hope that Haihan is one."

The Taoist returned the salute; "Master Jiang Shi is really a distinguished guest, how dare the old man not welcome him!"

Jiang Liu thought that this old Taoist almost didn't look at him in the past, but what is it today, so he stepped forward and spoke; "It's very unpleasant to disturb Dao Chang Qingxiu."

The Taoist suddenly grinned, is it a smile? Is it crying? Jiang Liu was surprised, smiled in return, and the Taoist signed up for himself; "Don't give up, you are fortunate to have three lives, and you have to meet a great monk."

Jiang Liu is in the clouds, when did he become a great monk, do not abandon the name of this old way, the first time I heard about it, what about him, he should come down and talk about it.

Jiang Liu clenched his fists again; "It's an honor to hear about the Dao Changya."
