"There's a teahouse in front, go and take a rest, the poor monk is poor." The lotus monk was in a good mood, so he turned his head and shouted at the sedan chair that was far behind.

"Thank you, Master Lotus." Several palanquin drivers hurriedly thanked them.

This is an official road, there are a lot of people who come and go, after Tan Mo arrived, only one table was free, so the four palanquin men held the bowl, sat on the ground, and drank big, while Tan Mo, the little county lord, the lotus monk and Meng Tingzhang sat down around the table.

Then Meng Tingzhang said to Tan Mo: "Little Master seems to be a little different. ”

When he spoke, his eyes were always looking at Tan Mo.

However, the look in his eyes was confused.

But he was not confused about Tan Mo's changes, but he was confused about himself, because for some reason, looking at Tan Mo at this moment, he suddenly had an urge to eat Tan Mo.

This made Meng Tingzhang stunned.

He really couldn't understand, how could he have a thought?

To be honest, since he ran out, he did find that there were some things wrong with him, such as only remembering the general outline of his seclusion place, but not remembering many details, or he remembered the ability of the female ghost clearly, but he couldn't remember what the female ghost looked like at all, there were a lot of things that were wrong, but it never made him feel unbelievable like now.

He actually wanted to eat a little monk?

He's not a refugee on the run!

Tan Mo noticed the change in Meng Tingzhang's expression, so he confessed: "The little monk finally took the last step and achieved the Six Emperors. ”

"It's just the achievement of the Six Emperors?" Meng Tingzhang frowned slightly, but he didn't ask again, he picked up the tea in front of him and wanted to take a sip, but the steaming tea made him reject and disgust from the bottom of his heart.

This was not the first time this had happened, so he poured out the tea and asked the teahouse owner to change him with a bowl of unboiled well water.

Drink it all.

Meng Tingzhang suddenly felt extremely comfortable, just like this well water, moistening his limbs and bones, making him extremely comfortable.

Looking at the changes in Meng Tingzhang's drinking of a well water, Tan Mo couldn't help but glance at the bucket containing well water several times, this is obviously just a very ordinary well water, and it is a little turbid, why Meng Tingzhang drank it, the whole person was refreshed, and it looked like a watered grass and trees.

Tan Mo took note of this and planned to discuss it with his senior brother later, but he thought that his senior brother should have noticed it too.

So he looked at the Lotus Monk.

Sure enough, the Lotus Monk blinked slightly, which was a gesture.

Before, he saw each other because of old people, and he didn't think much about it after Meng Tingzhang's explanation was reasonable, but with Tan Mo's reminder before, how could he continue to trust Meng Tingzhang or even be negligent?

Meng Tingzhang had a problem, maybe it was something he didn't even realize about.

Then this also means one thing, what Meng Tingzhang said is ominous, can only be used for a little reference, as for what it is, it still needs to be seen.

He couldn't let it go.

After all, Meng Tingzhang's relationship with him back then was really good.

Of course, once he finds the slightest clue involving the Ominous King, then he will immediately leave with Tan Mo and the little county lord.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, he continued on his way.

At this time, because the lotus monk was sweating and smelling of sweat, the little county lord was not happy to stay with the lotus monk, although Tan Mo was also sweating, but the faint fragrance could not be covered, and the little county lord followed Tan Mo, which made the lotus monk roll his eyes.

When the sun sets, I enter a mountain town.

This small county town located in the mountains is not big overall, and the most lively county center has only three streets, and there are only a handful of shops for buying and selling, and there is not even an inn.

However, a wealthy family in the county town brought people to greet them after hearing about the arrival of the great Confucian Meng Tingzhang, and invited them into their homes.

Compared with the dilapidated county seat, this rich family looks magnificent.

Even because of the collapse of the current dynasty, this rich family directly raised private soldiers in the mansion, with as many as 300 people, patrolling day and night in batches, which can be called heavily guarded.

This rich family is like the emperor of the soil in this mountain city.

This "soil emperor" is surnamed Li, and his name is Yuanhe. In his early years, he also donated an official body, but after the collapse of the Qing court, he directly took off his official uniform and raised a private soldier, without the intention of occupying the mountain as the king, but in this area, he undoubtedly has the final say.

Li Yuanhe is a disciple of Confucianism, and he prides himself on being talented, and he also gives himself the nickname "Half Confucian", realizing that he can be regarded as half a Confucian.

The locals were afraid of him, so they all called him Li Yuanhe, a half-great Confucian, as he wished.

This time, Li Yuanhe heard that the great Confucian Meng Tingzhang was going to pass by here, and he made preparations in advance, not to let Meng Tingzhang accept him as an apprentice, but to let Meng Tingzhang admit his knowledge.

In this way, Li Yuanhe can change from "half Confucian" to a real Confucian.

After enjoying enough glory and wealth, Li Yuanhe began to pursue this fame for centuries. In his opinion, this great Confucian reputation can undoubtedly be enjoyed for centuries.

After all, from ancient times to the present, no matter how the dynasty changes, the emperor has used Confucian disciples to govern the world.

Confucian disciples govern the world, and naturally, they will promote the well-known Confucianism of Confucianism. In this way, isn't it a hundred years old?

Li Yuanhe's abacus played loudly, so at the banquet, Li Yuanhe frequently toasted Meng Tingzhang, and Meng Tingzhang naturally didn't want to drink.

However, Meng Tingzhang didn't give face like this, although Li Yuanhe was secretly angry, he didn't have a seizure, but began to discuss knowledge with Meng Tingzhang.

Li Yuanhe prides himself on being talented, but in fact he has no real talent, and the poems he writes, without exception, are limericks, and it is good to be able to barely rhyme.

Tan Mo and Lotus Monk have been expressionless, relying on Meng Tingzhang's reputation, they are here to eat a meal, after hearing the poem written by Li Yuanhe, he couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling that this person is really asking for trouble.

However, Meng Tingzhang's performance surprised Tan Mo and Lotus Monk.

Meng Tingzhang actually wrote a limerick poem, and in terms of style, it is similar to Li Yuanhe's, which seems to be imitating.

This made Li Yuanhe very happy, but he didn't expect Meng Tingzhang to sell him face like this.

It was immediately a scene of joy for the guests.

At this time, the lotus monk quietly took Tan Mo and the little county lord out.

"Little junior brother, county lord, do you see something?" The Lotus Monk asked with a calm face.

Tan Mo nodded.

The little county lord also nodded, and then said, "Uncle Lotus, I didn't see anything. Xiao Muyu also nodded, and neither did he. ”

The corners of Tan Mo's mouth twitched, didn't you see what you were nodding?

So he thought about it, but decided to dismantle the stage: "Senior brother, I can see that Mr. Meng is imitating, just like babbling." ”

"Well, listening to what you say, junior brother, then the poor monk can be sure that Meng Tingzhang is just a puppet at the moment."

"Puppet?"

The Lotus Monk nodded, his gaze solemn: "The puppet produced by peeling the skin and filling the grass." ”
