Another thought: There is no one in this world who does not hide a ghost in his belly, fuck, as the saying goes, "horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no foreign wealth and do not make money", and it is time for me to be a few days thick.

The black shopkeeper tied his intestines in front of eight hundred taels of silver. He took out all the silver and collected it, and filled all the empty jars with sesame oil. Then lay it out along the wall.

Besides, after the shopkeeper rushed home, the old lady took one last look and returned to heaven, and the family was busy with the funeral. After 35 days of "May Seven", the shopkeeper hurried back to Dongniugu Village in Jianjin Prefecture.

Seeing that his in-laws' family had returned, the shopkeeper Wu pretended to have nothing to do with the oil shopkeeper and moved the oil altar back to his hometown's workshop.

When the shopkeeper opened the seal and saw that all the jars were full of sesame oil, and the silver was gone. was dumbfounded, and was so angry that he wanted to go over and reason with Boss Wu.

But when I think about it, when I leave, I clearly said that it was 20 jars of sesame oil, and now that these 20 jars of sesame oil are in front of you, you want to say that the altar contains silver, where can you go to reason?

The shopkeeper is dumb and eats coptis, and there are words of suffering. One breath is blocked in the heart socket, and I can't afford to be sick.

The benefactor was sick (at this time, the location was greatly changed: the villagers of the five oxbone villages who became wealthy all regarded the oil shopkeeper as a great benefactor who helped him make a fortune. People from the five beef bone villages came to visit with eggs, noodles, snacks, and fruits. There is someone who is good at asking the bottom of the matter, and even persuaded and asked:

"There are no ageless parents in the world, and I don't think you are a person who can't think about it at all. I was fine when I came, but why did I get sick all of a sudden? Is there any unsolvable knot in this? Say it, and everyone will solve it for you. ”

When the shopkeeper saw the sincerity of what people said, he quietly told the people what had happened to him. And instructed: "If you don't have a certificate or a certificate, it's hard to say this." I'm just a dumb loser. There is no propaganda task, you don't say it outside. I said, you listened, that's it. ”

Out of anger, the man said it to his wife. The wife said it to her good friend again. As a result, one passed on two, two passed on, and soon, the people of the five cowbone villages all knew why the shopkeeper was angry and sick.

Although there is no certificate, from the recent daily consumption of Uraizi, people can also see that Uraizi, who usually buckles the rope, suddenly became generous, and a few decent pieces of furniture were purchased at home, and the clothes of adults and children were also brand new. Someone asked him where he had made his fortune, and he said that there had been a boom in business recently. But as people know, his grocery store is very cold.

This incident hit the shopkeeper too hard, not only financially, but also the friendship that he has been with for many years, and the goddaughter he likes. Coupled with the recent loss of his mother, the old shopkeeper finally failed to get out of his sorrow, and he whimpered.

The people of the five Niu Bone Villages, who had received the favor of the old shopkeeper and knew the cause of his death, raised funds to buy him a good coffin with grief, and each village sent representatives to escort the coffin back to his hometown.

Wu Laizi lost forty big ingots for nothing, but he couldn't be happy. Because he gets the eyes of people everywhere. Some people who had been in contact with him in the past were also alienated from him. When they met, they either twisted their faces, or held their heads high, completely ignoring them.

The grocery store is even more deserted and unattended. Wu Zilai felt bored, so he had to move out of Dongniugu Village and go to another place to make a living.

In order to commemorate the contribution made by the old Gengzhi to the village, and also to commemorate the grand occasion of grinding sesame oil in the whole village, the name of the village was changed to the old oil village.

Because the five beef bone villages all have sesame oil mills, they are very famous in the local area. And because the pronunciation of "cow bones" and "oil so" is almost the same, the county government clerk wrote "ox bones" as "oil so" when counting the names of villages. As a result, the five cattle bone villages became five oil villages, which have been used to this day. That's for later.

Back to business:

After the Niugu Bridge was repaired, in the midst of people's praise, Qi Xiaoting bought a small boat and went north along the Qingliang River with Li Hong, Dongsheng, and Li Xinger. Because of the paper crane from the scud, it was said that the two snake demons ran out of more than a hundred miles and entered the tower in the south of Taertou Village.

Taertou Village is in the east of Tanglin Township, on the west bank of the eastern tributary of Qingliang River, and the hexagonal tower of brick and wood structure is built in the southeast of Taertou Village, close to Qingliang River.

It is said that because of the frequent floods here, a Zhenjiang tower was built here, and Taertou Village was named after it.

Zhenjiang Tower is 30 meters high, with a beautiful shape, looking from afar, it is like inserting into the clouds.

It is said that since the construction of this tower, it has really played the role of Zhenjiang, and the flood is much less than before. It is also said that not long after the tower was built, it was occupied by the gods, and there were often fires flickering at night. Sometimes you can even hear human language. People are in awe, and no one dares to step in.

After Qi Xiaoting and her entourage came, the people who watched the tower said that they would not let them in. He said: "There are immortals living on the tower, and when they collide, the gods are angry and don't give the town tower anymore, and the people in this area will suffer from floods again." ”

Qi Xiaoting explained: "We are chasing and killing two snake demons. It is said that he hid in the tower. We are not difficult to be immortals. If there are really immortals, they will forgive us. ”

The tower watcher: "The snake god lives on this tower, aren't you knowingly committing it?" ”

Li Hong stepped forward and asked, "How do you know it's the snake god?" ”

The tower watcher: "There is an old Taoist who lives in the tower, and he often goes to the village to ask the village chief for chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, saying that it is an offering to the tower." Someone followed him, and when he entered the tower, he turned into a very large snake, and people recognized that this was the snake god.

"The snake god also wants a talented girl this year, saying that she will be trained to become a god, and then the tower will be towned to kill demons and eliminate evil spirits for the people."

Qi Xiaoting: "You will give it to him willingly?" ”

Tower watcher: "What's the idea?" The words of the gods are very mysterious, and they cannot but be listened to. Don't believe it, our place used to have floods, since we have this tower, the floods have been less, people have a sick and calamity, come to the tower to make offerings, willing to do it, it will be good. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "That girl is imprisoned in the tower alone? ”

The tower watcher nodded: "It is said to live on the top floor." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Has anyone seen her?" ”

A tower watcher shook his head: "People also have suspicions. Many young men tried to go up and rescue her, but none of them succeeded. Some can't climb to the top floor, and they are scared down; When they reached the top, they were gone, and none of them survived.

"No, the village chief gave me a death order: no man or woman is allowed to enter the tower. The village chief said that he had already taken one in, and he couldn't let this one be used as bait, and then he could take his life in it. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "So, you're not looking at the tower, but at the people?" ”

Tower watcher: "You can say the same thing. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "We are not here to fight the Zhenjiang God here, there are two snake demons who have recently hidden in the tower, one is the snake princess on the god planet, and the other is the snake demon Lao Dao elsewhere." We came after us from Li Taihu.

"They did all the bad things along the way: first, they got the county magistrate into the well, and they pretended to be the county magistrate to sit in the court. After we found out, we injured the snake princess, and they turned into two sparks and ran to the temple in the east of the temple in the east of the temple and let the other snake demons fight for us, and they ran to the Jade Emperor Temple in Guocun to hide.

In this way, they are not honest, hiding in the ears and eyes of the Jade Emperor to do unscrupulous things. After being discovered, he went to the beach in Zhangmi Township, colluded with man-eating ants, and launched a man-ant war. We brought in Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and flooded the beach with water to eliminate the man-eating ants.

"I ran from the beach to the Oxbone Bridge, and almost turned a ten-year-old boy from East Niugu Village into a snake and became their mercenary. After we found out, they destroyed the Oxbone Bridge and ran up the tower here. ”

Tower watcher: "What you said is so terrible, is it true?" ”

Li Hong stepped forward and said, "The monks don't speak, I'll prove to you: it's true."

Scud: "I can also prove to you that this is indeed true. Then he reported to his home: "I am a scud from the village, less than ten miles away from here, I'm afraid you have heard my name, right?" ”

Tower watcher: "I've heard of it, I've heard of it. It's just that these people are not familiar with it. What's more, you ...... Can you have ...... Dragon King of the East China Sea? ”

Qi Xiaoting: "I can invite you." We are all people with magical powers, don't believe it, you see ......" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and a long sword immediately appeared in his bare hand; A little bit of the finger, a large ball of flame appeared on the finger, blazing.

Seeing this, Li Hong lifted a half-human-high stone lion in front of the tower, and also followed Qi Xiaoting's example, and spun it on one finger.

"Look at me." Dongsheng said, using his hand to pull up a big tree with a diameter of more than a foot thick beside him.

At this time, there happened to be a carriage passing by on the road, Li Heier walked over, arched his hand to the driver, said "offended", went up and grabbed the crossbar on the rear of the car, the carriage stopped steadily, no matter how hard the horse in the head pulled, the carriage did not move.

This series of actions stunned the tower watcher, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. He kept saying, "God-man! You are all men of God! Go, I won't stand in your way. ”

So, Scud stayed and watched, and once the snake princess and the others fled, he could chase and keep an eye on them.

Qi Xiaoting, Li Hong, Dongsheng, Li Heier and their entourage entered the tower, and while climbing, they observed, until they reached the top of the tower, and they did not see the shadow of the snake princess and the snake demon Lao Dao.

The tower has ten floors, and the top floor is a platform, and there is an open space the size of two rooms, and on the east side of the open space is a small compartment, each of which is only two or three square meters, which seems to be a place for resting.

In the clearing, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl practicing her sword, and there were two scarecrows beside her who were used as targets, and she was covered with scars.

When the girl saw Qi Xiaoting, her eyes immediately glowed red. didn't ask, waved the long sword in his hand, and stabbed at Qi Xiaoting.

Dongsheng's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly used the weapon in his hand to block the girl's long sword; Li Hei'er rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the girl's arms and twisted them behind her back, and tied her hands behind her back.
