Chapter 322: Human life is like a mustard
The next morning, the morning sun was rising.
The temple door of the Requiem Temple suddenly opened, and one after another luxurious rune cars streamed out from behind the door.
Most of the convoy rolled up clouds of dust along the wide, straight official road, and galloped in all directions, but four speeding cars stopped at the foot of the mountain, waiting quietly.
Half an hour after the convoy left the temple, a carriage withered dragon and tiger, and the rune flying car with a misty cover drove out of the gate, and the cart was pulled by two white-fronted tigers with a length of one foot and eight feet, and a silver-white body.
The two white tigers were majestic, and they roared with a tiger roar, kicked the ground with four claws, stepped on the wind, and suddenly brought a gust of wind under their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the white tiger dragged the speeding car and ran down the mountain, and kept running along the official road for a moment.
The rune car was three feet above the ground like a cloud of smoke, speeding with the wind.
The four speeding cars at the bottom of the mountain followed closely without saying a word, but they were gradually pulled farther and farther away.
The white tiger gallops in the wind,
In the carriage, Zhao Sheng lay lazily on the soft couch, yawning and sleepy.
In the corner of the carriage, Gui Li looked serious, sitting on the box seat with a straight body, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Zhao Sheng, who was sitting out of shape, with a ruthless look on his face.
Guili is the righteous cultivation of the Demon Elimination Hall of the Requiem Temple, a Taoist priest in the middle stage of Qi refining, and he is the one who is really responsible for eliminating demons and destroying demons on this trip.
Zhao Sheng just came out to gild it, and by the way, he collected the filial piety of all ethnic groups.
"Come to Senior Brother, relax a little. Don't always keep an old face, beware of not being able to find a Taoist companion! Zhao Sheng rubbed his eyelids and suddenly teased.
"Sanbao, if you continue to mess around like this, you will definitely achieve nothing when you grow up. Uncle Bao is really too spoiled by you, and he has repeatedly connived at your reckless behavior, which is simply a waste of this first-class qualification. Lake Tu! Although the words of Guili were cold and hard, his expression was distressed.
"Hehe, senior brother, you are completely blind and worried. Master, I am very smart and extremely understanding, and I don't need to work hard at all. It's just a foundation realm, and the master is handy. Even if the little children in the Dao Hall practice hard day and night, they can't compare to a finger of the master. Zhao Sheng said casually.
He told the truth, but he didn't believe a word.
"Hmph, arrogant, you will have to suffer in the future!" Gui Li lowered his face coldly and scolded.
Zhao Sheng didn't seem to hear it, still with a hippie smile on his face.
Seeing this situation, Gui Li simply closed his eyes and exercised, ignoring the lazy goods who couldn't support the wall in the mud.
The atmosphere of the carriage suddenly fell silent.
Zhao Sheng restrained his smile, sat up straight, and opened the curtain of the carriage casually.
As the curtains were removed, a large field of golden wheat suddenly came into view.
The speeding car is speeding forward, and the scenery along the way is swept behind at great speed.
Along the way, the wheat fields are endless, stretching to the end of the field of vision, and the water canals can be faintly seen beside the field road.
The wind blew the wheat waves, and the ears of wheat were low, revealing farmers in sackcloth and straw hats in the fields.
Zhao Sheng's eyes wandered, nodded and smiled slightly, most of the farmers in the field were ruddy, with meat on their cheeks, obviously there was no shortage of food on weekdays to fill their stomachs.
In a short time, there were many vegetable fields and medicine fields in the middle of the wheat fields.
The two suns gradually rose to the heavens, and the sun was scorching, scorching the earth.
Along the way, dilapidated and filthy farms and villages were left behind by speeding cars, and Zhao Sheng's vision occasionally appeared in the sight of a dock fort surrounded by brick walls.
Just after the afternoon, the White Tiger Flying Car had already traveled more than 500 miles.
Zhao Sheng's eyes were blazing and he looked outside, and the scenery outside at this time was very different from the beginning.
The ears of wheat in the wheat fields beside the road were thin and sparse, the soil in the fields was crumbling and cracked, and the peasants working in the fields were all yellow and thin, weak, and numb, with almost no anger at all.
Suddenly, Zhao Sheng pointed outside and asked, "Senior Brother Gui, is this field a temple property?" Why is it so careless? ”
Guili glanced outside, and his tone was calm: "The field boundary in the temple has just passed. This field is not the property of the temple, but the Wu family. ”
"Oh, no wonder the people working in the fields are all thin, it turns out to be the tenants of the Wu Papi family!" Zhao Sheng laughed.
"Sanbao, your kid didn't cover his mouth, aren't you afraid that the master will be unhappy when he hears it, and deliberately punish you?" Guili frowned and said in a reproachful tone.
"Hehe, it's just the two of us here, will the senior brother go to report to the main scripture?" Zhao Sheng's rhetorical question made Guili speechless.
Gui Li is Bao Yan's henchman, and it is impossible for him to "surrender to the enemy" and blow himself up.
There are many hills in the Requiem Temple, among which the mountain is naturally the largest headed by the temple treasure, followed by the master Wu Changyong and his group.
Wu Changyong's group of people is the face of the local family in Hufeng County, and they are also the representatives of their interests.
However, Bao Yan is an alien strong dragon specially sent by the temple, and of course the two mountains are secretly fighting for power and profit.
But because Bao Yan is a master of the foundation realm, not to mention his strength, he is also black-hearted and ruthless, but he has great righteousness in his hands, so he can suppress all objections with the power of one person and govern the local family.
You must know that Requiem Temple, as the "uncrowned king" of a county, has many industries in the temple and is super large-scale, and the annual output is so profitable that it is difficult for outsiders to imagine.
Just one point, from the morning out of the temple gate to noon, the distance is 500 miles away, along the way through the fields, mountains, forests, rivers and lakes are all the real estate of the Requiem Temple.
In terms of land production alone, the number of acres of land in the field register in the temple exceeds one million mu, and the area of fertile land accounts for nearly half of Hufeng County.
However, the field is only one of the outstanding items in the Requiem Temple industry, and the output of any spiritual field and spiritual ore related to the cultivation of immortals is the main source of profit.
You can imagine how lucrative it is!
The speed of the flying car is very fast, and after a while, dozens of miles have passed.
At this time, an ancient city with dense population, busy traffic, and towering city walls suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Sheng's eyes.
However, the speeding car did not stop for a moment, quickly circled the city, and continued to fly along the official road into the distance.
When the small sunset in the middle of the double day, the sky is a little darker, and the sun is no longer so hot.
The two white tigers gasped for breath, and their mouths sprayed puffs of hot white mist, and they quickly stopped galloping, and finally stopped in front of a huge manor with blue bricks and red tiles, antique colors, and many pavilions.
As soon as Zhao Sheng and Gui Li got out of the car, a group of middle-aged and elderly people dressed gorgeously and with good faces rushed forward.
After a while, four speeding cars hurried here from afar.
Four and a half teenagers jumped out of the car, each followed by a middle-aged man.
They didn't even dare to complain, they only smiled at each other, and then hugged Zhao Sheng into the manor.
At night, in a tall building in the depths of the manor, the lights are brilliant, the sound of silk and bamboo comes out, and the open space in front of the banquet is swaying and singing.
The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, everyone was smiling and courteous, and the voices of praise and compliments were endless, and the banquet seemed to have reached a climax.
Sitting on the chairman was undoubtedly Zhao Sheng and Gui Li, and the other four Dao Tong and Dharma Protector Wuzong only sat in the second seat.
Zhao Sheng's interest was not high, his right hand was holding his cheeks, his eyes were blank, and he loved to ignore the compliments of others, and his heart seemed to be no longer here.
At this time, a round-faced Taoist boy in the second seat secretly glanced at the master, and quietly made a few gestures with both hands.
Seeing this, the head of the Zou family suddenly realized, and hurriedly clapped his palms, and the singing and dancing during the banquet immediately stopped, and waved his hand again, and the dancers immediately bowed and quietly retreated.
The head of the Zou family smiled, and said loudly to Zhao Sheng: "The countryside has little drinking, simple singing and dancing, and Wan Wangbao Young Master Haihan." When the old man learned that the young master was in the village, he specially prepared a corpse fighting scene, so as to make the people laugh. ”
As soon as it was said that the fighting scene, everyone was interested, and a chubby young Taoist stood up and shouted: "Since it is a fighting play, you must have a colorful head to enjoy it!" Otherwise, who will be rare to see! ”
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Fang said it well! Why don't you let the old master of Zou sit in the village, let the two sides of the fight play first, and then I will make a bet? ”
"Senior Brother Sanbao, what do you think? You won a lot from me last time, and this time I'm going to win it back with interest. ”
Zhao Sheng put down his right hand, looked at Xi Jian's many different eyes, and suddenly grinned, "Okay!" This Taoist master has always gambled, and this time he will definitely kill the Quartet and win a good time. Old man Zou, hurry up and let people play. ”
Seeing this, the old master of Zou clapped his hands lightly, and a team of mermaids in Tsing Yi came out, skillfully removed the banquet, and served tea and snacks.
At the same time, with the sound of chains mopping the floor, two groups of people came in from outside the building.
One of the men pushed a thin boy with a wooden flail around his neck, his arms tied behind his back, and his feet with a pair of thick iron chains.
Another group carried a wooden coffin, from which a shrill scratching sound could be heard.
Seeing this posture, Zhao Sheng knew it in his heart. The next fight scene is the very popular corpse death fight in the Great Gu Dynasty.
The result of the deathmatch is either the person being devoured by the zombie, or the zombie being torn apart.
When the lid of the coffin was lifted, a nine-foot-tall zombie covered in white hair stood up straight from the coffin, its eyes blood-red and full of resentment.
This corpse is a white-haired walking corpse, and its hard power is by no means inferior to that of a first-class martial arts master.
Seeing this, a pink-faced boy couldn't help laughing: "Haha! This is clearly a gift of money to the masters! Hurry, what's the stake? I will crush the living corpses! ”
When the others saw this scene, they also nodded, very satisfied with the Zou family's knowledge.
Zhao Sheng's brows were furrowed, and he immediately shook his head greatly, "It's not good, it's not good!" What the master wants to see is that he is evenly matched, what is there to see in the end of being torn apart in one face, let's change someone! ”
"This..."The head of the Zou family groaned slightly, and when he saw the eyes of the grandson of the family, he suddenly felt certain in his heart, and immediately nodded with a smile, raised his hand and patted it gently.
The thin boy was about to be dragged down.
However, at this moment, he suddenly struggled hard, his face was full of anxiety, and his mouth made a whining sound.
Well?
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he ordered: "Take off his mouth plug and listen to what he says?"
There was no need to wait for the master's orders, and someone next to him immediately obediently removed the wooden core stuffed in.
The thin young man coughed a few times, and shouted at the Zou family with a stubborn face: "What you say doesn't count." said that in the end, no matter what the result is, it will forgive the usurious debt owed by my family.
If I win, I will have a hundred taels of silver. My sister is still waiting for me to redeem it! Your words don't count! I can fight, I can fight! ”
"Haha, interesting! A lowly breed is so affectionate and righteous. It's better to let him play, lest people say that what we talk doesn't count. ”
This is true! But I don't know what Senior Brother Bao thinks? ”
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Zhao Sheng's face showed a hint of gangsterism, and he said impatiently: "You guys are endless!" Master's words don't work, do they? Isn't it just a hundred taels of silver, the master is happy today, rewarded! ”
As he spoke, he pulled it into his arms, but suddenly he was empty.
But in the next second, Zhao Sheng's face was full of pride, he pulled out a handful of yellow paper talismans, and deliberately showed off: "The master has no silver in his hand, but the talisman has a hundred taels, only today, and it will not be changed when it is outdated, who wants it!"
"I want it!"
"I want it!"
"I want it too!"
Seeing that everyone was raising their hands enthusiastically, the old man of Zou asked the clansmen not to join in the fun, coughed and said in a low voice: "Ahem, the old man also wants to replace a few." But not with one hundred taels, but at the market price, to ensure that Young Master Bao will not suffer. ”
Zhao Sheng casually sprinkled the talisman on most of the table.
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said nonchalantly: "The old man is quite discerning, you look at it!" But don't lose that kid. The master looked at him pleasing to the eye. ”
"Young Master, don't worry! Old and decayed. After speaking, the old master of Zou glanced at the people.
The servant hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and pulled the young man out. The thin young man was quite clever and didn't say a word when he saw this Qingxing, but the moment he walked out of the door, he glanced back at Zhao Sheng reluctantly.
Zhao Sheng's face was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about this person's gaze.
After this episode, the Zou family sent another middle-aged man with a strong body and two knives.
Everyone quickly made a good bet, and a human-corpse fight broke out immediately.
The middle-aged man is vigorous, has at least 30 years of internal energy, and has rich practical experience.
Faced with the white-haired walking corpse who was not afraid of death, this person ran around the field and did not fight hard.
His tactics were completely correct, but the protagonists of the spectators were a few impatient minors.
When he first fell into the fight, he was constantly coaxed and urged.
Under the hint of the head of the Zou family, the middle-aged man had to give up his previous tactics and take the initiative to fight face-to-face with the walking corpses.
In an instant, blood flew wildly, corpses roared and knives roared, and the middle-aged man was soon covered in scaly wounds, the wounds were black, and the black gas faintly flooded his face, obviously the corpse poison was deep.
When the walking corpse was cut off an arm, the middle-aged man with the knife suddenly fell to the ground limply, and the ending was like a dead corpse.
"Next, next!" Seeing this, the Dao Tong was not only not afraid, but his face was flushed with excitement, and he was eager and excited to urge loudly.
Next, three more people came on the field in a row, but they were all torn apart by the living corpses.
It wasn't until a twenty-year-old young master of the Zou family appeared that the living corpse was beheaded by a sword.
The teenagers won a lot of money, but the Zou family didn't even frown and paid the bet on the spot.
Of course, there were no real losers in this fight from start to finish. Those who really lose are never looked down upon by the people in the hall.
