When he first entered the Daizong Palace, Zeng Yu felt a little strange, the statues and incense cases on this hall were neat, the two big candles were burning brightly, and the three treasure incense sticks inserted on the incense burner exuded the green gas of some kind of herb, and the three treasure incense was only burned a small part, which should have been lit a moment ago, who would incense the Dongyue Emperor here?

When Zheng Shi spoke, Zeng Yu paid attention to the movement behind the statue, and heard someone coughing sullenly in the apse, and immediately signaled Zheng Shi not to speak, he first went to the outside of the hall to take a look, in the twilight and snow, Fang Maoqi and two thieves were wandering outside the gate of the Daizong Palace, of course, this was sent by Wu Ping to monitor him, but who was the coughing person in the apse

Back to the hall, Zeng Yu bowed to the statue of the Emperor Dongyue, took a candle from the incense case, and Zheng Shi went to the apse to look, the statues of the seventy-two divisions of the two hells are hideous and terrifying, I wonder if those thieves will feel the fear of guilt when they come here?

The apse is empty, there seems to be a light in the southwest corner, Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi approached with a candle, and saw that it was a quiet room, the door was closed, Zeng Yu looked in from the crack in the door, but saw an oil lamp, the lamp was dim, and a pale haired Taoist sat on the futon, staring at it -

Zeng Yu entered the Seven Stars Temple, did not see the Taoist priest elsewhere, must have fled, but did not expect that in this secluded place there was an old Taoist priest sitting alone in the quiet room, quite curious, immediately knocked lightly on the door, the Taoist was stunned, motionless, then heard the footsteps in the front hall, Peng Laoqiu was shouting: "Zeng Xiucai - Zeng Xiucai?" ”

Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi walked out of the gang, Peng Laoqiu held a brazier with both hands, another thief carried a big bamboo basket, the two of them stood in front of the statue and looked around to find Zeng Yu, Fang Maoqi also rushed in, seeing that Zeng Yu and the two were here in good shape, and they didn't escape anywhere, so they "hummed" and turned around.

Peng Laoqiu put down the brazier and said with a smile: "Two talents, good wine and good food." He moved the incense burner on the incense table aside, and the other thief took out a jar of wine and a few large bowls of fish in the bamboo basket and put them on the incense table, and then took a piece of fat meat and put it in his mouth to chew, and said vaguely: "Two Xiucai, please eat." ”

Zeng Yu smiled and said: "It is very inappropriate to put the wine and food on the incense case, it looks like fighting with Emperor Dongyue for food, sin, sin." ”

Peng Laoqiu laughed and said: "What is this, the brothers are still playing with the captured women in front of the Sanqing statue, that is called ridiculous, and I haven't seen five thunders in the sky, so these fairies and ghosts are all fake, they are all clay wooden tires, there is no need to be afraid at all, hehe, come on, come on, my old Peng Jing and the two show talents have a bowl of wine." So saying, he went to open the mud seal of the wine jar.

The hatred and disgust in Zeng Yu's eyes flashed away, and he said lightly: "Put the wine and food on the ground, it's too awkward to put it on the incense table." ”

Peng Laoqiu and another thief laughed and laughed, laughing at Zeng Yu's pedantic, Peng Laoqiu also climbed onto the throne, stretched out his hand and patted the belly of Emperor Dongyue, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, look at me." As he spoke, he slapped the emperor's belly hard, making a "pop" sound, and said: "What can I do if I pee on this clay wooden tire, hahahaha-"

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared behind the statue of the Emperor Dongyue, holding a cane in both hands, and hit Peng Laoqiu's left leg and calf, Peng Laoqiu was quite agile, screamed in pain, and quickly jumped off the throne, jumped on one leg and screamed in pain, rubbed his left leg and scolded: "Tongchen Laodao, you dare to hit Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife, ah, dare to fight."

Zeng Yu saw that the person who swung the cane and beat Peng Laoqiu was the pale Taoist man he saw in the quiet room of the apse, this Taoist chased Peng Laoqiu with a rattan cane, and scolded: "The Peng family has such an animal as you, and the soul of the ancestors will not be able to live in peace, animal, the Taoist master will kill you today."

Another thief wanted to step forward to help Peng Laoqiu, but was dragged by Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu smiled: "Look at the excitement, look at the excitement, Lao Peng is a local, and he is an old acquaintance with this person." ”

The thief heard Zeng Yu say that it was lively, so he stood by and watched, the old Taoist priest chased Peng Laoqiu to play, Peng Laoqiu dodged left and right, jumped east and west, grinning like a monkey, Zeng Yu's side of the thief laughed.

Peng Laoqiu's back was hit with a cane again, the pain was numb, only to escape from the hall, the old Taoist priest poked the rattan cane in front of the temple door, and scolded angrily: "The animals of the Peng family dare to come in again, and the Taoist will kill you alive." When he spoke, his eyes squinted at Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi, and when he took a breath, he asked Zeng Yu: "Where did you two Xiucai come from?" ”

Zeng Yuzuo said: "Xiaosheng came from Guixi, went to Shangrao to take the exam, and met this gang of bandits by the Xinjiang River-

Fang Cai smiled and looked at the lively bandit annoyed, and shouted: "Zeng Xiucai" said that he was very dissatisfied with Zeng Yu calling them "bandits", if it wasn't for King Wu valuing Zeng Yu, then he would be polite.

Zeng Yu turned his head to look at the thief and said, "What are you calling a thief if you don't call it, rich man?" No rich people? Poor? Do you think it's shameful to be a thief? ”

The thief said: "You have to call a good man." ”

Zeng Yu smiled, waved his hand and said, "You go out first, I want to ask this Taoist chief for some things." ”

The thief stood still, he was reluctant to accept the good wine and food on the incense table, and asked, "What do you ask?"

Zeng Yu shouted: "Is this what you can ask, then you go and give King Wu some guidance." ”

The thief opened his mouth and stammered, and Zeng Yu shouted again: "Go out." "The bandit has slipped out of the woods.

Peng Laoqiu rubbed his hands and feet on the stone steps in front of the hall, and said strangely: "Why did you come out of the king's plate?" He said angrily: "You kid didn't come to help just now but he was still laughing, you are itchy and underwhelming, right?" ”

The thief named Wang Panzi was a little angry, but he was scolded by Peng Laoqiu when he came out of the palace, he was angry, raised his foot and kicked Peng Laoqiu's crotch, and scolded: "You dog thief dare to scold me, how long have I followed King Wu, you only came two days ago, dare to play prestige in front of me, I will beat you to death." ”

Peng Laoqiu was kicked down, and when he got up, he was timid, and he said inwardly: "I am waiting for Zeng Xiucai on the order of King Wu, if you dare to beat me, I will sue you to King Wu." ”

The Bandone King Pan sneered: "You go, you go, hurry up, if you don't go, you will be a dog thief." ”

Fang Maoqi walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Panzi pointed at Peng Laoqiu and said, "Brother Fang, this kid wants to ride on my head with the momentum of those two talents, what a fucking dog." ”

Fang Maoqi said disdainfully: "What is the power of those two showmen, as long as the king gives an order, I will chop him into meat sauce." ”

Wang Panzi said: "I don't think those two Xiucai want to defect to our king at all, the Xiucai surnamed Zeng just scolded me for being a thief in person, it's really fucking annoying." ”

Fang Maoqi sneered, didn't say anything, thinking that the kid surnamed Zeng still dared to say a thief or a thief in front of King Wu, but King Wu didn't have a seizure on the spot, and look at what kind of famous hall this kid can see when he looks at the sky at night, if there is no famous hall, tomorrow morning will be their death date.

At this time, two thieves came in with a horse and a mule, and Laifu followed behind with a burden, Peng Laoqiu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "These are all Zeng Xiucai's things, King Wu ordered, to be returned to Zeng Xiucai - hey, the servants of the Zeng family who carried the burden, follow me into the palace, Zeng Xiucai and they are in the palace." ”

Fang Maoqi and Wang Panzi didn't stop them, they just sneered.
