Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 10 Luo Daoren
On a snowy night, a wandering Taoist priest in a cyan robe walked on the road with a black and yellow earth dog, the Taoist priest had a long beard, wore a concealed buckle jacket, and held a pair of exquisite Nanmu banner sticks in his hands. A man and a dog were in the snow, leaving a long list of neat plum blossom dot star marks along the way, and they came towards Crouching Tiger Town in a hurry.
Since the beginning of the month, Fuxia Town, Jumu Town, and Huanxi Town around Wohu Town have disappeared from time to time in the town, and then there will be some strange noises in the town at night, and even some people are injured at night, just lying on the street, so people have been panicking recently.
What's even more strange is that those injured people were found the next morning, and when they were asked, they all forgot what happened at that time without exception, and they all seemed to have been erased from the memory of the night out of thin air, and all kinds of rumors spread for a while.
The worried people of the towns did not dare to turn on the lights at night, and even during the day they were very cautious, at most they only asked each other if any family members were missing again, mixed with some of their own wild speculations:
"Did you hear that? Someone is missing again!"
"Who?"
"Zhang Ermazi of Huban Street, when I checked people in the town today, I went to his house and found that there was no one, and there was a mess everywhere, like a beast following up. ”
"If you want me to say, that Zhang Er Mazi is not a good person, and he has done less to bully and dominate the market in the town?
"That's what I said, but it's a human life!
"It can't be the people of Qixingzhai who did it, right?"
"I don't think it's like these scoundrels, they all have dirty hands. ”
"I heard from my cousin that something happened in their town, and many of the lawless bullies in the town are gone, and I don't know what's going on!"
"No, it's the same with my daughter-in-law's mother's house. ”
"This is strange, isn't it true that they all got retribution?"
"Don't say that, I'm still scared, I have to go to the mountain temple to worship!"
"You don't know yet? The mountain temple has been smashed! Just a few days ago, the statues of the mountain god lord have been pushed up, and now the mayors of several towns are all working together! I want to find out why! I guess it was the monster that night who did it!"
"Don't scare me! What can I do? No, I still have to ask the mountain god to bless me! Bless our family safe!"
“。。。 ”
Since Dongfang Yu said that he would let the head of the mountain take the strange things in the nearby towns, every time he went down the mountain, he changed from one person to a group of two, Pi Yixia thought that the two people were in danger, and at least they could take care of each other, and no matter how bad they were, one person could go back to the village to report the news.
This time down the mountain to collect the New Year's money is the fourth master Pu Chang and the seventh master Hu Yunfan, the people and horses have also changed from one team to two teams in the past, a group of bandits have a total of twenty horses, all of them are light horses and hanging knives, and they galloped towards Crouching Tiger Town at night.
The bandits of Qixingzhai heard the sound of horses' hooves along the way, splashing snowflakes everywhere. By the moonlight, when he saw a vague figure in front of him, Pu Chang raised his hand and said in his mouth: "Huh!" took the lead in slowing down, and Hu Yunfan and the other bandits also slowed down, until they approached the figure in front of him, only to find that it was a Taoist priest with a dog.
Pu Chang sat on the horse and bowed the door to the Taoist priest who was leaning on the side of the road when he heard the sound, and said loudly: "Is the Taoist chief going to Crouching Tiger Town?"
took the dog Taoist to return the salute, and said to a group of bandits: "Poor Dao Luo Dao people, they are going to Crouching Tiger Town, and the donors need to be more careful when walking at night!"
Pu Chang smiled heartily: "Daoist Luo said that he laughed, we are specially walking at night! ”
The black loess dog next to Luo Daoren heard Pu Chang's words, but he was dissatisfied, "Wang!" and barked twice!. Pu Chang smiled, looked at the somewhat unkind black and yellow earth dog, and said: "It turns out that the Taoist chief still has your partner, disrespectful and disrespectful! I hope you will protect the Taoist well! Luo Daochang, I'll leave first!" Pu Chang immediately gave up his hand again, and then clamped his legs, and the horse under his crotch immediately walked forward, and the other bandits immediately followed.
As the sound of the horse's hooves went away, Luo Daoren calmed down and said to the black and yellow earth: "Xiaohong, it seems that there is no one we want in this town in front of us! Let's go and ask for food! After doing the work of these days, let our grandfather also have a full stomach." ”
Hearing Luo Daoren's words, the black and yellow clay dog named Xiaohong flicked his tail towards the sky quickly.
Although the people in Crouching Tiger Town have also heard about the strange things in other towns, no one in Crouching Tiger Town has not had an accident so far, and the people are not so panicked, but the mountain temple has been smashed to make everyone worry, and because of the proximity to Qixingzhai, the people in the town are more or less at ease. Therefore, the arrival of the bandits from Qixingzhai is a good thing for Crouching Tiger Town, which is also a matter that is difficult for outsiders to believe.
At this time, the bandits of Qixingzhai who collected the New Year's money from the shopkeepers in Wohu Town also received a lot of "hearts" from the people by the way. The main Pu Chang is here, so there are especially many, no one around Hu Yunfan on the side comes, and occasionally a grandmother gives a shoe insoles, but he still recognizes the wrong person, which makes Hu Yunfan want to go back to the mountain immediately, but thinking about the woman in his heart, it seems that she did not appear today.
Until the New Year's money was collected, Hu Yunfan was still sullen, and the "thin tiger" also became a "stuffy tiger". Pu Chang was happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he had no choice but to say to Hu Yunfan seriously: "Seventh brother, don't worry! Fate, it's wonderful! If you two have a fate, you will naturally meet!" Hu Yunfan had to nod slightly, but he still kept looking forward to it.
On the other side, the Luo Dao people who entered the town took the little red around them, and only a few families had already eaten their bellies, and they couldn't breathe when they walked.
Luo Daoren touched his belly, took a breath and said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, can you smell that our two are still playing in this town? If not, you can only wait." ”
Xiao Hong moved her black nose and sucked hard, and suddenly the doors and windows of the houses in Crouching Tiger Town made a loose sound, shaking non-stop, and then returned to normal after a while, Xiao Hong immediately ploughed the ground with her front paws, turned around and walked out of the town, Luo Daoren hurriedly supported the cane, supported his waist and followed.
Outside the town, two brothers, Li Dameng and Li Xiaowei, were walking towards the town from outside.
Li Xiaowei looked left and right and said to Li Dameng: "Big brother, we smashed the mountain temple, no one should know, right?"
Li Dameng grinned and said to his younger brother with a look of indifference: "Then who knows, don't worry." ”
Li Xiaowei hesitated and asked, "Then, what should the old Taoist do?"
Li Dameng's eyes showed a fierce look, and he said coldly: "Wait until we get the money promised by the old Taoist first, and then... After speaking, Li Dameng, who had a meaty face, pointed his right hand down in the air.
Immediately, Li Xiaowei, who was short on the side, also nodded lightly.
