Groups of lamas, with half-shouldered shoulders and cockscomb hats on their heads, groups of eight, or sixteen, wandered strangely around the circle of the monastery.

In the procession of eight or sixteen lamas, the four or eight big lamas in front of them all hold sticks similar to feather dusters, but the hairy ones on them are not chicken feathers, but yellow, and look like they are wrapped in a very luxurious cloth.

And the four or eight in the back are holding cymbals, one in each hand, but they don't ring.

They formed such a column and roamed around the perimeter of the temple as if they were patrolling.

Originally, I didn't want to deal with these lamas, because as a cultivator, there are three kinds of strange people when you go out, monks, women and children, and you have to be careful when you encounter these three types of people.

But if we want to walk through here, it seems unrealistic to take a detour, but if we go directly, we will have to pass by the temple in front of us and come into contact with such a procession of lamas.

So you can't hide.

"Lao Du, this is Tianzhao Temple?"

I asked, looking at the misty and oddly shaped temple.

Du Renjie said with some fear: "Yes, this is Tianzhao Temple, if you want to go out of the city, you have to pass through here, these old lamas are not good things, on the contrary, at this point, I am more optimistic about the Hong family, because they have no control over the direction of entering the city, and they can enter at will, but there is some trouble when they go out of the city." ”

I looked at Du Renjie strangely: "Are you stupid? You won't get out of where you came in, huh? ”

Du Renjie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't you notice? These lamas patrol outside the city, they are very greedy, they are allowed to enter but not to leave, if you want to go out of the city, you have to pay some goods, do not peel you skin, that is absolutely not called a peeling monk. ”

Peeling monk?

I looked at the bronze-skinned lamas, and said in my heart that this title is quite appropriate.

However, Tianyi City, as a city that has begun to take shape, should have a rudimentary form such as access control, which is the inevitable development of urban civilization, this kind of regulation was formed in the feudal era, and it became a law in the later period.

"Then how much benefit these peeling monks can want, just give them to them."

I said with a smile.

"To them? Give them that they don't have to go out of the city, and they won't even give you the rest of the money you have prepared. ”

Du Renjie obviously had a big opinion about these great lamas, and his stomach was full of resentment.

"Did you pay the exit fee when you and the young lady of the Hong family went to the Seven Districts City?"

Artugge stopped his horse and asked Du Renjie.

Du Renjie shook his head: "That's Miss Hong Family, how could the Hong family use to pay the entrance fee?" ”

Li Guanyi sighed and said: "It's still a product of the privileged class, this Hong family and Tianzhao Temple are fighting openly and secretly, Tianzhao Temple must have made concessions in some other aspects, the Hong family will give such a big piece of fat to Tianzhao Temple, Tianzhao Temple will definitely exploit the people out of the city to death, they rely on this thing to survive." ”

I nodded and said: "Yes, it is because they exploit it too badly, so the people in the city try not to go out, once they go out, they are all some masters, and it creates an illusion for the people outside. ”

"Let's go, let's go and see if we can get out."

I have already made up my mind in my heart, anyway, there is no wall in a city this day, ask me for tolls, I will directly shoot the Hongmen order in front of them, if it is not good, I will force my way through, according to our analysis, this Tianzhao Temple must have some special care for the cultivators above the Golden Light Soaring Realm, otherwise why would the people who go out are all masters of the Golden Light Rushing Realm?

But I had always been wishful thinking, and I found that we seemed to be about to stop when we could not reach the city gate, because at this moment there was a group of great lamas opposite us.

These big lamas were holding the 'feather duster' and 'cymbals' in their hands, and they came straight at the three of us, and the eyes of the two lamas who were the first of the two lamas were coming at us.

I lamented in my heart, this is the fate of trouble wherever I go, I was born like this, and I have long been mentally prepared.

So I immediately stopped the horses, which were still treading in small steps, and waited for the group of lamas to come.

When Du Renjie saw that I had stopped, he hurriedly floated behind me and looked at the lamas in fear.

I turned my head and looked at him funny: "Aren't you the one punished by the Hong family?" What's the matter with these lamas, what are you afraid of them doing? ”

Du Renjie spat on the ground and scolded: "Phew, people are good at being bullied, ghosts are good at being ridden, they just watch me fall into Pingyang." ”

I rolled my eyes: "Come on!" The tiger also fell in Pingyang, these lamas are afraid that they can surpass you even if they recite a mantra, right? ”

Du Renjie grinned: "Are they willing to overtake me? These bastards threaten me with the excuse of excesses every time, asking me for ghost nails, you look at my hands. ”

I only noticed at this time that on the two ghost claws of this Du Renjie, all the ghost nails were pulled clean, and the bare ones were funny.

The ghost nail is ten very sharp weapons for ghosts, it is a good material for human cultivators to make talismans, and it is a good thing for demons to recuperate, and this thing can grow again, it can be said that it is endless, these lamas know how to control the cost, and they did not directly dismember Du Renjie, but instead kept him in captivity, threw him around to ask for food, and pulled it out if he had ghost nails, which is the same as raising a sheep wool, the key is that this sheep does not have to be fed by itself, how pleasant it is?

When I saw Du Renjie's pair of shriveled ghost claws, I couldn't help laughing, and Atugege and Li Guanyi even laughed back and forth.

What's even funnier is still to come, Du Renjie gritted his teeth and stroked the hem of his black shroud, exposing the two ghost feet, and almost cried in a sad and angry tone: "These bastards, just pull out my fingernails, even the toenails, look at the good things they do." ”

'Poof'

Li Guanyi flipped off his horse.

Artug then burst out laughing.

I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt, tears were about to fall, and I waved my hand and said, "Lao Du, you are so careful to survive, you have really ruined your reputation as a ghost king!" ”

Where does Du Renjie still have a little bit of the temperament of a ghost king, and smiled with a cyan grimace: "It's better to die than to live, I am a ghost who has died once, and I naturally know the true meaning and meaning of living." ”
