"Knock, knock......"

The knock on the door was heavier and more urgent.

"Uh, what time is this, why are people still coming?"

It's the end of the hour, and it's almost blackjack!

Anyone else visiting Castle Peak Temple?

As for passers-by......

Qingshan Temple is on a lonely mountain, and I don't have to go anywhere to pass here.

Therefore, there are no bandits in this Daqingshan.

"Pack up, I'll take a look." Seongseon pushed the chopsticks and stood up.

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "Senior brother, I'll go with you, I'll carry a lantern for you." ”

……

Chengxin watched the two leave, frowning.

"At this time, there are still people coming in the middle of the night?"

"It's not going to be those guys who are going to get moving, are they?"

The closer he got to the time, the more uneasy he felt, and the invisible pressure had been pressing on him.

"Huh? Wrong! ”

"I was going to wash the dishes sincerely, this kid!"

Damn, I was too focused on thinking about things, and I actually took advantage of this kid.

……

"Senior brother, did you say that the person who knocked on the door late at night was a human or a ghost?" Lu Ping asked as he followed Chengshan.

Chengshan smiled and said, "Maybe it was a pilgrim who came to offer incense during the day, but he got lost, and finally found his way at this time." ”

Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "The incense of our Qingshan Taoist Temple is not so prosperous, right?" ”

Qingshan Taoist Temple relied on doing things for the county government and receiving "Yulu" from the county government.

Of course, every New Year's holiday, there will be more or less pilgrims coming, but there are not many, after all, the mountain is high and the road is far away.

Isn't it fragrant to worship the Taoist Buddhist temple in the county directly?

"Senior brother, go open the door."

"Yes, senior brother."

Lu Ping easily lifted the heavy wooden bolt.

Chengshan looked at Lu Ping and nodded with satisfaction, thinking in his heart: "This kid may not have noticed it himself, these days, he has grown taller and stronger. ”

"It seems that the effect of the bone broth is surprisingly good."

……

Lu Ping first opened a crack in the door and looked out through the crack in the door.

There was a group of people standing outside the door.

Although the night was dark, Lu Ping was able to see them very clearly with his excellent vision.

The first group was a man dressed in a black shirt with a knife hanging from his waist.

And behind him, two people, a man and a woman.

And then ...... There was also a carriage that followed.

But the carriage kept some distance from them.

They are also dressed in official uniforms.

"Xiaodao Chief, open the door, I'm the head catcher of Qingshan County, Wu Yong."

Wu Yong?

Lu Ping is impressed.

He often comes to Qingshan Taoist Temple, and his friendship with the second senior brother is very, very good.

Probably because they have similar personalities, and they both like to "play two", which perfectly fits the eight words of wine and meat friends and smelly similar.

"Squeak......

The heavy wooden door rattled and the door opened.

Lu Ping clenched his fists casually and said, "I've seen Wu Zhutou." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the people behind him.

Wu Yong catches his head and is slightly fat, but he is burly, and this bit of "fat" does not feel cumbersome on him.

Probably the fat people are very kind, so Wu Yong has the best reputation among the three major catchers in Qingshan County.

"Xiaodao Chief, the speed of your long body has been a bit fast recently, I didn't dare to admit it at first, hahaha......"

"By the way, is our brother here?"

The second senior brother Chengren, his family's name is Wu Ren, but he felt that this name was not good, so he changed it to Wu Dashan.

At this time, Chengshan walked over, his body was straight, implying majesty, and said: "Wu Zhutou, the second junior brother has followed the master out to do things, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"By the way, a late-night visit, what's the matter?"

Seeing Chengshan, Wu Zhutou's face immediately changed, and said: "Chengshan Daoist, if there is no important matter, I will not come in the middle of the night, how comfortable it is to sleep with a sister in Chunfeng Lou at this point." ”

Lu Ping thought silently: ...... Wu Zhutou, you are not upright in your thinking!

"Dao Chief, let us in first?"

Seongseon didn't immediately agree, his eyes passed through the two people behind him, and looked directly at the carriage.

Catching heads is also a high authority in Qingshan County, and he is a master.

Although he is usually kind, his official authority will not be less.

But at this moment, in front of the senior brother, this Wu Zhutou is like a little brother, very respectful.

Wu Zhutou said: "Chengshan Daoist, this time we are ordered to come and bring a noble person to Qingshan Taoist Temple to pray for blessings and see a doctor. ”

Chengshan said: "Pray for blessings? See a doctor? ”

"My Qingshan Daoguan Mountain is far away, and the ancestor who worships it has never heard of any apparitions."

Lu Ping: ...... It's you, senior brother, you say this about Master Zu, are you sure he won't be angry?

The elder brother continued: "As for seeing a doctor...... There are a lot of famous doctors in the county, why bother to come here? ”

At this time, the senior brother was very cold, and he had the intention of driving people directly.

Wu Zhutou raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised.

However, being treated like this by the senior brother, he didn't have any displeasure, but hesitated to ask:

"Honest and benevolent Taoist, is the Taoist temple ...... recently Not peaceful? ”

Chengshan said indifferently: "Well, it's not peaceful, we ourselves may die, you send people at this time?" ”

When Wu Zhutou heard this, he was directly taken aback.

"So, what now?"

He knew how powerful this Qingshanguan senior brother was, and he actually said that, which means that this place is really very dangerous.

"It's already so late, and we can't let us go down the mountain at this time, and this noble person came from afar to come to Qingshan Temple by name, otherwise I wouldn't have come at this point in time."

Chengshan thought for a while and said, "Chengshan, take Wu Zhutou to the guest room, but now the Taoist temple is understaffed, and you need to clean up the guest room by yourself." ”

"Tomorrow at dawn, let's go down the mountain."

"Wu Zhutou, you also said, this is a nobleman, and you don't want the nobleman to die on this Qingshan Taoist Temple, right?"

"This, Chengshan Daoist, let's let the nobleman's carriage go to the backyard first, and then arrange for people to rest."

"Sincerity." Seongseon shouted.

"Okay, Wu Zhutou, let the carriage follow me." There are still stables in the backyard, but they are not guarded.

After all, there are only a few brothers in the Taoist temple.

Lu Ping passed in front of the two catchers next to Wu Zhutou, but he was a little surprised in his heart: "These two catchers are quite strange." ”

This is definitely not the two who usually follow Wu Zhutou.

But he didn't care, after all, it was normal for the Yamen to be replaced, and he hadn't seen all the catches.

Lu Ping arrived in front of the carriage, waved his hand at the coachman, and said, "This big brother, come with me." ”

Horse-drawn carriage, very luxurious!

Lu Ping didn't know how to describe it, but whether it was the tall black and red horse or the carriage that showed grace and luxury, it was not something that a remote county like Qingshan County could have.

The coachman was silent, and greeted him himself, but he did not make a sound, but only lightly whipped the horsewhip.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened.

A nice voice came out: "This little Taoist ......"

The sound is good.

The tone is clear and steady, like the spring water of an empty valley, leisurely but calming the mind.

It's just that Lu Ping heard something wrong from this voice!
