Chapter 130: To Gangneung (I)

Where should I go after leaving the "Heavenly Paradise", Qi Xuansu did think about it.

It's also strange that he doesn't have a tight mouth, he once mentioned to the eighth day that he wants to send Liuhu to Zhili, even if the eighth day of the second day wants to help him keep a secret, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be tricked.

Thinking about the worst in everything, Qi Xuansu can only think that his whereabouts have been exposed.

From Zhongzhou to Zhili, the fastest distance naturally goes down the Yangtze River, and after arriving in Qizhou, it goes north along the Grand Canal. The second is to take the land route, directly into the territory of Zhili, although not as fast as the waterway, but the shortest distance.

Now that their whereabouts have been revealed, these two paths are no longer feasible. As long as the Daomen gives an order, Qi Xuansu can become a turtle in the urn.

Qi Xuansu thought about it and decided to play a game of darkness under the lights, and retreat as advance.

That is, from Zixian Mountain to Beiyang Mansion in Zhongzhou, then take Jiangling Mansion in Huzhou, and then go down the river, pass Jinling Mansion, go to sea from Putuo Island, and then go north by sea, directly bypassing Luzhou and Qizhou, and arriving at Bohai Mansion by the sea.

Five days was enough time for Qi Xuansu to rush from Zixian Mountain to Beiyang Mansion non-stop.

Beiyang Mansion is called North, in fact, it is located in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou, connecting Luzhou in the east, Huzhou in the west and south, it is an important place for Jianghuai, known as the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Qi Xuansu had no interest in Beiyang Mansion, and he didn't even go to Fucheng, so he took Liuhu Lake directly around Fucheng and several large and small county seats, avoided large and small Taoist temples, and only stopped in remote villages and towns along the way.

On the seventh day after leaving Zixian Mountain, Qi Xuansu and Liuhu arrived at Jingzi Town, which is located on the border between Zhongzhou and Huzhou.

Why did this town get its name, Qi Xuansu has no way of knowing, but the town is surrounded by peach trees, it is spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the spring breeze moves, the falling flowers are colorful, and it is very beautiful.

After all, Liuhu is a girl's heart, and she is already an idiot.

The two did not enter the town, but rode along the road at the edge of a huge peach forest, and after walking out of a section, they found a huge stone monument, which looked to be some years old. Qi Xuansu stood in front of the stone tablet, read the words on the stone tablet, and finally understood the reason for planting peach forests here.

In the last years of the Great Wei Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and evil demons came to Dongshan behind Jingzi Town, slaughtered the villagers of Dongshan Village, killed people and detained souls, and practiced evil arts, which made Jingzi Town dark and miasma, and people's hearts were panicked.

The young Xuansheng and the only great heavenly master with the surname Yan Feiqing passed by here, went to Dongshan to exorcise the evil spirits, and used peach wood as firewood to ignite the peach wood with the "method of fire in three cyls and three dings", and burned Dongshan Village, which had turned into a ghost, into ashes.

At that time, there were still many corpses in the town below the mountain, and the Great Heavenly Master instructed that the peach trees should be incinerated, and the elder did not dare to slack off, so he led the villagers to cut down a few peach trees outside the town according to the method taught by the immortal master, and set up a firewood pile on the spot to burn the corpses.

And because the evil demons laid down the formation, to a certain extent, they have polluted the leylines here, and over time, it will inevitably form a bad land, the so-called evil land. It is a place where yin and evil qi gather, and if a person rushes into it, it is easy to become robbed of his mind, and he will be seriously ill after leaving the evil land, or he will die directly in the evil land.

The people often say that a certain place is evil, and that people often die, or die in accidents, or commit suicide, and the people will call it "cannibalism", and this kind of place is usually the evil land.

If there are enough dead people in the evil place, it is called "gluttony", in which the dead souls must not be detached, just like a snowball, the anger and resentment are getting bigger and bigger, that is, the place is becoming more and more "gluttonous", if left unchecked, it is very likely to harm one party.

Because of this, Yan Feiqing asked the people of Jingzi Town to plant a peach forest in advance here, so that the peach trees could ward off evil spirits and take precautions to prevent bad ground.

The people here keep in mind the teachings of the immortal master, plant peach trees from generation to generation, more than 200 years later, there are peach trees all over the mountains, and even develop into a livelihood, there are often people in the Taoist sect come here to buy peach trees, one is that there is no shortage of peach trees for more than a hundred years here, with the cutting and planting, will not sit and eat the mountain empty, and the second is related to the Xuansheng and Yan Datianshi, ask for a lottery.

After reading the content on the stone tablet, Liu Hu was surprised: "Fake, right?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It is said that Xuansheng liked to do chivalrous things when he was young, and he met Yan Dazhen very early, so it is not impossible to do this. ”

Liu Hu asked: "Uncle Wei also likes to be chivalrous, after many years, will someone also erect a monument for Uncle Wei in Zixian Mountain?" ”

"Maybe, but only if I can become a real person, preferably the kind that is full of peach and plums." Qi Xuansu said with a smile, "People are prosperous, children and grandchildren are angry, and the talent of being an ancestor has a bright face." Do you think, if the Daomen fell apart soon after Xuansheng passed away, and then Confucianism made a comeback, and Daomen became a traitor, would Xuansheng still have such a lofty status as he is today? ”

Liu Hu smacked his lips: "Da Zhenren...... That's a naΓ―ve Taoist, difficult. ”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "It's really not easy. ”

Because people from the Daomen often came to Jingzi Town to buy peach wood, Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu completely dispelled the idea of going to the town to settle down, and continued to walk along the edge of the huge peach forest. Along the way, the eyes are full of peach blossoms, which is enough to see.

After Jingzi Town, you will enter the territory of Huzhou, and there are two days away, which is Jiangling Mansion.

From the division of the Daomen, it still belongs to the Taiping Road, and the Bohai Mansion in the territory of Zhili belongs to the Taiping Road, which can be said to be the opposite of each other.

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, even if someone could see through his little tricks, it would take a while. By that time, he had already sailed out on a boat with Willow Lake. And he will not take the sea ship of the Daomen, but take the official ship of the imperial court as a man in black, which is undoubtedly the best cover.

However, there is a good saying, smart is mistaken by smart. In other words, a fool will gain a thousand thoughts, and a wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.

Qi Xuansu thought very well, but he was a little negligent.

When he first pretended to be Qin Wuxi's personal soldier, he played the banner of going to Jiangling on Qin Wuxi's order, because the Qin family was the hereditary king of Jiangling County, and the palace was located in Jiangling Mansion, Huzhou.

Since he wants to pretend to be Qin Wuxi's confidant and personal soldiers, he naturally wants to have a relationship with the palace, and it is very reasonable to pretend that he was sent by Qin Wuxian to the palace located in Jiangling Mansion, and he can avoid many unnecessary inquiries, after all, it involves the private affairs of the palace.

Now, he's really going to Gangneung Mansion.

On the other hand, after Zhang Yuelu dealt with the matter of Tianle Taoyuan, he decided to use "Ying Long" to send all the bodies of Liu Futong and Su Ran to Yujing, because the impact was significant, and it involved those behind Liu Futong, who should have been escorted by Zhang Yuelu in person, and presented the case to Cihang Zhenren, but Zhang Yuelu did not want to return to Yujing, so he decided to let Xu Lingguan, who followed him, personally be responsible for escorting, and Mu Yan and Tian Baobao were responsible for transferring the case.

As for the other principals, they continued to exterminate a small group of cult demons, and afterwards returned to Yujing by flying boat from various provincial governments, and Tiangangtang reimbursed the round-trip expenses.

Although Xu Lingguan and others were opposed, Zhang Yuelu was not only the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall, but also the "Qin Messenger" appointed by Jin Que and Cihang Zhenren to deal with the matter of "Tianle Taoyuan", and no one could disobey him, so he could only act according to orders.

The reason why Zhang Yuelu was reluctant to return to Yujing was mainly because he was unwilling to let go of Wei Wugui, who was already close in front of him.

However, there was a problem, although she had sorted out Wei Wugui's whereabouts, she didn't have much clue where Wei Wugui would go next. On the eighth day, Yang was already afraid of her, avoided her, and kept silent. Zhang Yuelu didn't have much to do, and the eighth day was raised by a person in the court, not a person in the Daomen. Second, on the eighth day, there was no handle, and Zhang Yuelu couldn't force him unreasonably with tough means.

So Zhang Yuelu didn't know that Qi Xuansu would go to the Bohai Mansion in Zhili.

But Zhang Yuelu knew that Wei Wugui claimed to be Qin Wuxi's personal soldier, claiming to go to Jiangling Mansion on Qin Wuxi's orders.

Holding the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Zhang Yuelu decided to go to Jiangling Mansion, even if she pounced, she could also check the follow-up progress of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce by the way, the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce that was deeply involved with Liu Futong was mainly active in the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, but the head office was located in Jiangling Mansion in Huzhou.

At this time, seven days had passed since Qi Xuansu left Purple Immortal Mountain, and logically speaking, it was basically impossible to catch up. However, Zhang Yuelu can mobilize "Ying Long", although she does not plan to return to Yujing, she can let "Ying Long" carry her to Jiangling Mansion, and then she disembarks in Jiangling Mansion, and "Ying Long" and others continue to return to Yujing.

In this way, Zhang Yuelu didn't even need a day's time, but had to go to Jiangling Mansion before Qi Xuansu.
