"Sixth brother, the Taoist chief asked us to keep an eye on the person who was telling fortunes."

Coming to He Liu's side, Su Hao said in a low voice.

"Got it."

He Liu nodded with a serious expression.

"I hope it's going to be fruitful this time."

After Su Hao sighed, he walked back to his stall, although the head of the True Xuan Dao set up a stall here at the ferry, and there were no less than two or three hundred merchants who asked him to tell fortunes in front of the stall every day, but compared to the thousands of merchants on the entire Yellow River, it was just a drop in the ocean, and those who kidnapped the merchants did not often make a move, and it was completely a matter of luck to meet them.

Su Hao was still thinking about it, at this time, there was another sound of knocking on the table in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the signal sent by the True Xuan Dao Chief.

Seeing this, Su Hao's expression was a lot more solemn, two in a row, it seemed that this time there might be a harvest, and then got up and walked towards He Liu.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Su Hao coming over again, He Liu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"There's another one, and this time it may be rewarding."

Su Hao said in a low voice, although people often die on the Yellow River, but now it has not yet reached the real troubled times, the deterrent power of the imperial court is still very sufficient, even if it is a water bandit, most of them are just robbing money, and rarely kill people, this kind of situation of meeting two people who have the appearance of death in a row is still very rare.

In the past three months, I have only met three merchants who have the appearance of death, two are water bandits, one is a water ghost looking for a stand-in, the first two let them be saved, and the latter one, when they arrived, the other party had already been dragged down the river by the water ghost.

"I'll let Shizhong and Ganyang keep an eye on them."

Hearing Su Hao's words, He Liu's eyes lit up, they had been a scoundrel here for three months, and they had long been impatient.

…

On the other side, Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen, who had been sent by the True Xuan Dao Chief, walked towards the ferry with a little frustrated face.

"How can this fortune teller be as divine as you say!"

Tian Wen pursed his lips: "There are so many people, and there is not even one who has a windfall." ”

Hearing Tian Wen's words, Xiang Shuncai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Tian, everyone has this windfall life, if everyone has it, this windfall life is worthless." ”

"Let's go, get on the boat, don't let the others wait."

Tian Wen shook his head and said, he also knew that this windfall was not for everyone, and spending a few copper plates to tell fortunes was just to satisfy his fantasies.

However, the two of them didn't know that not far behind them, He Liusan was following closely behind them.

"The two of them look like they're leaving the ferry, Shizhong, you go and prepare the boat first, Ayang, you go and invite the True Xuan Daoist and Brother Su."

Seeing Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen walking towards the ferry, He Liu said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

After Jiang Shizhong and Gan Yang answered, they dispersed.

When Su Hao and the three of them arrived at the ferry, He Liu and Jiang Shizhong were already waiting at the ferry, while Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen were nowhere to be found.

"The two of them just went down the river in a boat, let's catch up."

Seeing Su Hao and the three of them coming, He Liu hurriedly said.

Hearing He Liu's words, several people did not hesitate, and boarded the ship directly, this time was the biggest chance to catch the murderer, missed this opportunity, and I don't know how long I have to wait next time.

Fortunately, the ships of Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen had just left, carrying a large number of goods and merchants, and only a moment later, the ships of Su Hao and others were far behind them.

"You can't follow it like that."

Looking at the merchant ship where Xiang Shuncai and Tian Wen were, the two boatmen were staring at them closely, He Liu frowned.

Their boat is a small fishing boat, which is the boat that the bandits most often use to keep an eye on, and if they keep an eye on them like this, the other party must mistakenly think that they are water bandits, and if they continue to follow, the other party may directly dock at the next ferry, in this case, their plans will be ruined.

"Let's get over to them first, I'll find an opportunity to put the paper figures on their boat."

After pondering for a moment, Su Hao spoke: "With the connection between me and the paper man, as long as it is not too far apart, I will sense it. ”

He Liuda was overjoyed: "Then it will trouble Brother Su." ”

Hearing this, Su Hao just smiled, took out a small paper figure from his sleeve, and then urged the internal force to force out a few drops of blood from his fingertips to completely dye the little paper figure red.

Seeing this scene, the True Xuan Dao Elder couldn't help frowning, and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in his heart.

This paper man and paper horse technique is also a Taoist spell, and later it was passed to the folk for various reasons, but the ordinary people of the folk do not have the Taoist practice method, so those ordinary people modified this Taoist spell beyond recognition, and turned it into the left way of the left way.

However, he was dissatisfied, and he didn't say anything, this spell was not from his pavilion, and it had been passed on to the people for hundreds of years, and it was not his turn to point fingers, and the reason why he was dissatisfied was only that Su Hao was dissatisfied with the evil spirit of using a good Taoist spell.

When the True Xuan Daoist frowned, Su Hao also saw it, but he didn't care much, and the Taoist people were not dissatisfied with them for a day or two.

The grievances between the left road and Taoism have a long history, in the Han Dynasty, Taoism is just an idea, has not completely formed a sect, each school of Taoism is free and scattered, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the concept of the unity of the three religions began to appear, some schools that do not believe in the three religions were gradually eliminated, and some of the inheritance left over from the people became one of the origins of the left way.

Later, the lineages of witches, Gu, shamans and other ethnic minorities were introduced to the Central Plains, so all the lineages outside Buddhism and Taoism came together to form eight hundred side gates.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Taoism was extremely prosperous and had a great social influence, and some people who were left behind came in the name of Taoism to ruin the reputation of Taoism.

Later, after wars and turmoil, some Taoist spells began to be scattered among the people and were changed beyond recognition, which stabbed the lifeblood of Taoism, and the contradiction between the two sides became even greater.

So after hundreds of years, all the people who are on the side of the door and the left way have begun to be treated by the Taoist people, but the Taoist people are dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and they have no way to kill all the people who are on the side of the door and the left way, after all, the world is the world of the imperial court, and the people of Taoism must also abide by the law, and it is impossible to kill innocents indiscriminately, so they can only be angry and denounce all the practitioners of the side door and the left way as warlocks.

What is a Warlock?

In the eyes of Taoists, people who do not learn and do not know how to do it are warlocks.

…

Just when the small fishing boat crossed the merchant ship, Su Hao took advantage of the fact that the other party was in the blind spot of vision, and with a flick of his finger, the little paper man flew into the cabin of the merchant ship with the wind.

"Sixth brother, it's okay."

After sensing that the paper figure had drifted into a remote corner, Su Hao said in a low voice: "As long as it is within five miles, I can sense the location of this ship." ”
