Since I have never been to Longshan County. When Xu Changqing spent some time looking for Lu Jiada, it was already night. Longshan County is a small county town in the mountainous area of northwestern Hunan Province. There are no more than 100 households, and the population is mainly composed of ethnic minorities such as Tujia. However, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China continued to turmoil, many Han people who fled the war have fled here to settle down, although in terms of living customs, cultural beliefs, etc., there are many conflicts between the Han and other ethnic minorities, but under the mediation of some powerful scholars, there is finally no major chaos

The earthen temple that Xu Changqing is going to is not difficult to find, just like on the hill outside the county seat of Longshan County, although there are still some believers who come here to make incense, but the temple is in disrepair, more dilapidated, the main hall is still a simple temple, and the rest of the side halls have been occupied by outsiders who have fled here, and Luo Haitao's family is one of these outsiders who have fled.

Luo Haitao was originally a wealthy family in Hebei, his family had a field and a house, and he still had an industry in Tianjin, but it was a pity that he offended a big man who couldn't be provoked a few years ago, and the family had to leave his hometown, and all his family property was sold in exchange for cash with him. It's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to be willing to let him go like this, and releases the route of his family's escape south and the news that he is carrying a huge amount of money, wanting to borrow a knife to kill people and kill the Luo family. However, the other party never expected that Luo Haitao, an old man who is nearly sixty years old this year, would have a unique skill. With the power of one person, he sent away all those robbers, and there was no danger along the way, and finally escaped to Xiangxi, a place where the other party's forces could not touch.

"Boss, it's time for us to settle down! If we continue to escape like this, it's so big that there's nothing small to stand it! Brother Ying'er, I had a fever yesterday, although I took medicine today and the fever subsided, but my body is still weak, and if I continue to hurry, I'm afraid that the old disease will recur. At dinner in the evening, my wife whispered to Luo Haitao while sandwiching dishes for her grandchildren.

Luo Haitao put down the dishes and chopsticks. looked at the tired looks of the children and grandchildren around him, sighed, slapped the table hard, and decided: "Don't run away! Don't run away! With that, he went back to the house and took out a part of the money after selling his property, handed it to his eldest son, and said, "Wood, you and the second and third children will go to Longshan County tomorrow to buy some land and real estate." We settled down in Longshan County. The third child has entered the foreign school and worked as a comprador for a few days, and these business things are clearer than the two of you, and you will listen to the third child in everything tomorrow. ”

"Got it!!" The sons hurriedly took the money and replied.

After the order was finished, Luo Haitao didn't have the heart to eat, and was about to leave the room, but his wife stopped and said, "Don't eat? It's so late, it's raining, where are you going?"

"I'm going to practice for a while

"Grandpa, I'm going to practice too." After hearing Luo Haitao's words, his grandchildren also dropped their dishes and chopsticks. Surrounded by.

Although the family knew that Luo Haitao was a peerless student, they thought it was just some health regimens, but this time they fled south, but they found that Luo Haitao, the head of the family, was completely hidden. When fleeing to Henan not long ago. There were more than a dozen sturdy and vicious thieves in the rivers and lakes who blocked their way, but Luo Haitao just walked back and forth, and these more than ten thieves all died on the ground. The third child of the Luo family, who was walking behind, had checked the injuries of these people and found that each of them had their chests sunk in all directions, as if they had been smashed by a hammer, and since then the children in the family have admired Luo Haitao.

The adults of the Luo family knew that it was useless to practice martial arts, so they put their hopes on the children in the family, hoping that they could learn Luo Haitao's one-and-a-half moves and a half, and also have a self-defense technique. Although the family has mentioned this matter openly and secretly. But Luo Haitao didn't agree, his reason was that his gossip You Longzhang was secretly learned, and he was not allowed to pass it on privately without the permission of the gossip door.

Originally, the Lord of the Luo family did not have any expectations for the requests of several children and grandchildren this time, after all, the previous times ended in failure. However, what they didn't expect was that Luo Haitao did not immediately refuse this time, but after thinking about it, he said: "You little guys can learn boxing, but you need to be literate to learn boxing. ”

With that, he motioned for a few guys to go back to the table to eat, and then walked out of the room. Several adults of the Luo family only woke up from their surprise at this time, and their faces showed joy, after all, their children could learn Luo Haitao's kung fu. Even if there are only a few successes, this is enough for future generations to settle down in this troubled era. Come to think of it. The adults of the Luo family also had no intention of eating, so they casually picked up a few mouthfuls of food and turned around and went back to the house. Turn out some of the books at the bottom of the box and get ready to teach your children to read.

The reason why Luo Haitao changed was also for the sake of his children and grandchildren, and the reason why he was reluctant to teach his own mastery when he was in Henan was mainly because he was afraid of being blamed by Baguamen. After all, stealing kung fu is a taboo in the rivers and lakes, once investigated, even if he is Dong Hai's servant back then, he will not escape the disaster of waste, if it is passed on to his family, he will also be implicated, so he will always refuse. However, now that he has fled to the south, and the power of the Bagua Gate is mainly in the north, the worries in his heart have completely disappeared. I felt that I should pass on my gossip to my family, so I made a promise just now.

After deciding to settle in Longshan County, Luo Haitao felt that he seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and the worries and hesitations in his heart also dissipated. His state of mind has also changed from being anxious and fearful for days to being peaceful and natural, and he feels that the bottleneck of his cultivation of the Dragon Palm over the years may have a breakthrough.

Come to the main hall of the Land Temple. At this time in the evening, there was no one in the temple, and the temple had already taken the sesame oil money, and went to the county seat under the mountain to listen to the song.

In his hometown in Hebei, there is also a land temple there, and Luo Haitao, as a celebrity in his hometown, often presides over some worship activities on some festivals, so he is no stranger to the statue of the land god. However, what puzzled him was that the land god in front of him was obviously no different from the land god he had seen before, but he always felt that this land god was a little weird, and the statue did not seem to have the harmony of ordinary gods, but there was a kind of yin qi wrapped around the statue, which gave people a feeling of some evil, especially this kind of night was very strong.

Although he sensed that something was wrong with the statue of the land god, Luo Haitao, who was a master of art, did not take it to heart, and after entering the main hall, he put a stick of incense on the land according to his habit. Then he began to practice the Bagua You Dragon Palm in the main hall of the Land Temple.
