The leaves are yellowing, the dew is rolling down the blades of grass, and the faint white mist is obscuring the vision from high and low not far away.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting colder.

With the opening of the gate of the county, a small monk handed over a copper coin, and then slowly walked into this comfortable county town in the yawn of the soldiers guarding the city.

The entrance fee to Kuimu County actually costs five coppers, but for monks and Taoists, Kuimu County will always have a little preferential treatment, so it doesn't matter if you don't give it. Not only to enter the city, but also to eat and stay in the county seat, monks and Taoists do not need to spend money.

This is mainly due to the fact that a few years ago, Mrs. Chen, the mother of the great anti-king Water Dragon King, had a strange disease, and the Chen family searched for doctors in the county, but the doctors were helpless.

At this time, there was a monk who came together at night and cured Mrs. Chen, although Mrs. Chen became unable to see the sun since then, but her spirit was getting better day by day, her legs and feet were convenient, not like an elderly person.

After the Water Dragon King learned of this, he understood that it was two masters, and he wanted to win them over and deal with many cultivators under General Chilian, so he had searched for the whereabouts of that monk many times, but to no avail. In order to leave a good impression on that monk, he ordered that all monks and Taoists, as long as they were in Kuimu County, should be paid by the Chen Mansion.

The Water Dragon King's move attracted many monks and Taoists to Kuimu County, and there was no shortage of people who ate and drank, but there were really a few of them who had Taoism, and after being persuaded by the Water Dragon King, they joined the camp of the Water Dragon King.

As for those who eat and drink together, do not learn and have no skills, the Water Dragon King will not refuse, after all, he still lacks some miscellaneous soldiers who burn fires, cook and transport food.

A tiger's beard is not easy to brush.

In this way, the monks and Taoists who thought that the Water Dragon King was buying horse bones for their daughters ran away one after another.

Joining the camp of the Water Dragon King, of course, you can enjoy wealth.

But how much is this wealth especially enjoyable?

What's more, participating in the army fight is not conducive to cultivation, and sooner or later it will cause demons in the heart and go mad and die. Otherwise, there are so many families in the spiritual realm, why don't you see those families directly pulling together a team to rebel?

The power of the Spiritual Illusion Realm family is much stronger than those who oppose the king.

For example, Zhongnan Purple Mansion, the seventeenth family, no matter which one they are, they all have the strength to fight against the king all the way. But in the end, he only sent a few disciples who had no intention of cultivating and let them roam in this troubled world.

The most he did was to use the treasure ships in the sect to help transport grain and grass. As long as those disciples were not stopped by some demons and ghosts, Zhongnan Zifu would never be involved in the Central Plains of the disciples under them.

Even if these disciples will be defeated and killed because of this!

Therefore, the current Kuimu County looks very strange. Monks and Taoists enjoy preferential treatment, but there are few monks and Taoists in the entire county.

Tan Mo didn't realize this at first, until he asked for a bowl of somen noodles in the inn, and when he had to pay after eating, the shopkeeper refused to accept it anyway, and then Tan Mo understood from the shopkeeper's account that there was such a thing.

After listening to Tan Mo, the first thought in his mind was that he had actually walked for so long and had not yet stepped out of the territory of the Water Dragon King, the power of the Water Dragon King was really terrifying!

At this time, the shopkeeper asked, "Where did the little master come from?" Where are you going? In this chaos, could it be that the little master went out alone? Or is your master and elder here nearby? ”

"The little monk Ming Wuyan is from the Lotus Temple, and this time, he wants to return to the temple." Tan Mo clasped his hands together and said truthfully.

"It seems that the little master is a real master!" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was full of smiles, and then he beckoned the innkeeper and served Tan Mo good tea and pastries.

Tan Mo wanted to refuse, but the shopkeeper was too enthusiastic, saying that it was Mrs. Chen's order, and asked Tan Mo not to make it difficult for him, Tan Mo saw that this was also osmanthus cake, as if the little county lord loved to eat the whole, and after thinking about it, he accepted it.

"This donor, please help pack this osmanthus cake, the little monk has a nephew, but he likes to eat this thing, this time I go back, it's not good to be empty-handed." Tan Mo said to the inn guy.

The innkeeper had already been instructed, no matter what Tan Mo said, he would do it, not to mention just packing an osmanthus cake.

After packing, seeing that the shopkeeper hadn't come back yet, the innkeeper ran and said, "Little Master, there are still some osmanthus cakes, why don't you take them together?" ”

Tan Mo thought about it for a while, and felt that his senior brothers were very greedy, and he should bring them a copy, so he nodded and said, "Thank you so much!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, little master, please sit down, if you have any orders, call me." As he spoke, the innkeeper refilled Tan Mo with hot tea, and then went to the kitchen to pack the osmanthus cake.

Tan Mo was drinking tea, and suddenly saw the innkeeper leading a brightly dressed middle-aged man to walk in, and then walked in front of him, and the shopkeeper said: "Little Master, this is Steward Sun in Mrs. Chen's house, after knowing that the little master is coming, he specially came to meet the little master." ”

Tan Mo was not surprised by this scene.

He had already guessed this when he had disappeared after the shopkeeper had warmly entertained him.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

There is no pie in the sky.

It's just that he is in Kuimu County, the territory of the Great Anti-King Water Dragon King, but Tan Mo is not good at not giving face, if the people of the Chen Mansion want to see him, Tan Mo can only meet with them and listen to what they say.

Anyway, with the gods in his body, if he wants to leave, he will be easy.

"Little Master is from the Lotus Temple? Sun of Lotus Temple heard the king talk about it, it seems to be in Ningjia County, right? Steward Sun said with a smile, and gestured towards Tan Mo.

Tan Mo returned the salute, nodded and said, "It's Ningjia County." ”

"It's not close on this road, and the little master has no car or horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for two or three months!" Steward Sun couldn't help but be confused.

Tan Mo understood the meaning of this Steward Sun's words, this was doubting him, but it was just very tactful and vague. Tan Mo thought about it, and in order to avoid trouble, he decided to appear in front of people.

"So what?" Tan Mo clasped his hands together, his figure disappeared in an instant, and he reappeared, it was already on the street outside the inn, he turned his back to the door of the inn, leaving only a back of Steward Sun and the innkeeper, and then said slowly: "I don't know if Steward Sun still thinks that it will take two or three months for the little monk to go back?" ”

Steward Sun was in a daze, Tan Mo disappeared all of a sudden, startled him, and then heard Tan Mo's voice, only to find that Tan Mo was already on the street, couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Sun has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask the little master to forgive him!" ”
