I bought fifty catties of cabbage and fifty catties of radish, and directly wrapped the remaining leeks from the leek stall selling them, and I didn't buy much, just five or six catties.

Put the dishes into a wooden box protruding from the back of the carriage, which is directly fixed at the back, used to put things specially, and you can also put a basket on it, which can be tied with a rope, and you can put a lot of things.

Of course, Tilt Yan just uses them to cover up, and the vegetables are still placed in the ugly space, and some light things are put outside to make a show.

To be honest, the carriage that Zhang Mancang got for her was really good, and she liked it very much when she finished pulling it back before.

It looks a little old on the outside, as if it was deliberately old, not like it was just made, but it is really comfortable on the inside.

Inside, unlike before, it was just a flat bed, just lay a quilt in the carriage and lie down, now a fifty-centimeter-wide cabinet is made on one side, which can be used as a seat and people can sit on it.

In the middle of the night, you can spread the futon to sleep, and during the day, the futon can be put away to put the charcoal stove and table.

The table was the kind she had asked Zhang Mancang to fold before, and it could be put away at any time, and there was also a place for the futon, which was placed in the cabinet under the seat.

The cabinet door is sliding, although there is no such roller as in later generations, and there is some sound when opening and closing, but it is still very convenient to use, at least it is more space-saving than drawers and ordinary cabinet doors.

The edges and corners on it are also rounded, not the kind of sharp corners, so you don't have to worry about hurting if you bump into it, and a thick layer of sheepskin is laid on it.

It's the sheepskins that she unloaded in the carport before, Zhang Mancang has washed them, and they are neatly spread on them, and they look warm, and they usually sit on them, or sit under them as a backrest.

There are also two tables, an ordinary small square table, and a circular hole dug in the middle, in which you can put a charcoal stove, and you can also put teacups and food around the copper kettle in the middle.

The carriage was much taller and more spacious than the shed she had built herself, with plenty of room to sit on top of the cupboard.

There is a crossbar in the middle of the top of the shed, which can be used to dry things or hang lanterns.

These are all the creations of Zhang Li and Zhang Mancang's master and apprentice, and Qian Yan was quite surprised when she saw this.

The front doors and windows are also sliding doors, this is not the idea of pouring Yan, the sliding door itself has been in the Tang Dynasty, like those jewelry boxes with sliding lids or something has long been available, so this is not an innovation, many carriages are also such windows and doors are not unusual.

There is also the big bear that I said before, Zhang Mancang did it, the shed in front directly covered the horse's body, and only the horse's head was exposed in front.

It can't be helped, if you cover the horse's head as well, it does work a bit hard, and it also affects its vision.

It's easy to say, only the horse's head is exposed, and it's usually like this, and when it snows and rains, it's good to cover the bear's head with a skin.

After leaving the town and going to Shangguan Road, because there is still quite thick snow on the road, the sled board under the car comes in handy, it is easy to walk, the speed is also fast, and it is more stable than the wheels, so Tianyan can make up for it in the carriage without worrying about being woken up.

Ugly and ugly can finally come out of the space, and roll around the cabinet twice directly with the money.

"This carriage is really good, there is no sound at all when it walks like this, unlike the one we made, which crunched when the wind blew there."

Qian Yan nodded, "This is a professional, and it is definitely not comparable to our amateurs." By the way, what's going on at Lingguang Temple? Is there any movement? ”

Ugly: "Yes, they have already released the rumor that the monastery will be closed on the fifteenth day of this month, that is, tomorrow, on the grounds that they will pray for the blessing of the next year, and they will recite the scriptures for forty-nine hours.

They have been transporting things to the altar below for the past few days, probably because they are afraid that too many pilgrims will affect their actions on the fifteenth, so they will simply not open it to the public. ”

Qian Yan frowned, "That's fine, at least it won't implicate innocent people, so what's the use of the altar or can't you see it?" ”

Chou Chou shook his head, "I can't see it, it's just a poton on top of the table, and there are everlasting lamps below, and there are no statues of gods, not even an offering table, so I can't see what I want to sacrifice at all." ”

The altar in the tomb in the Prayer Village before at least had a portrait of Qiqi on it, and I also knew that it was the tomb of the ancestor Yin Jin, and I could probably see what was sacrificed.

And under this Lingguang Temple, the ugly and ugly have been carefully explored inside and out with divine consciousness, and there are no portraits carved coffins or anything, none of them.

If it weren't for the shape of the platform and the lantern placed underneath, it would not have been obvious that it was an altar, and people would have thought it was a secret room.

And the things they prepared are also strange, they are those bones and ores, if you don't see it, ordinary things don't have energy fluctuations, and they think that the other party has some refining skills and is preparing to refine magic weapons.

Some of those ores may also be able to refine metal components, and the bones are completely ordinary beast bones, and there is nothing special about them.

At least it's not the bones left by some demon beasts, and they don't have the conditions for refining.

So now we can only wait for them to use the altar to know what it is for.

Chou Chou is also very curious about this, and the other party has not harmed people's lives during this time, so Chou Chou is not in a hurry to make a move, and is ready to find out the situation, and it is not too late to deal with the other party in the future.

They must have to dispose of each other before leaving, but they can't leave such a half-demon, and a half-demon who has eaten people, here.

Although it is not Xiangxiang's kind of rui beast that cultivates by merit, but this is not a dumping Yan, she will definitely not let this half-demon who hurt people's lives go.

Besides, the other party eats all children, so that there is no evil anger and resentment, and it does not help it at all, which makes it a little angry, so there is no need to keep him.

This is also the idea that Qian Yan doesn't know how ugly she is, otherwise she will probably have to give it an ideological and political lesson, what kind of idea is this? I also hope that people will eat people and eat their grievances for it to cultivate.

But for the ancient beast of Ugly and Ugly, it is understandable to have this kind of thought, it is good if it does not take the initiative to do bad things, it can't be asked to be a fierce beast that eliminates violence and peace, but it is too difficult for a strong beast.

Because they had already used their divine sense to probe in advance when they walked forward, no matter how thick the snow was, the carriage would not go out of the official road.

And when there is someone in front of her, she will sit outside in advance and pretend to catch the car, and as soon as there is no one, she will get into the carriage.

It's still very cold outside, especially the face blown by the cold wind is very uncomfortable, although I wear gloves, but I can't cover my face completely, and I can't wear glasses or anything, so I can still suffer a little less sin and suffer a little less.

At their current speed, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in Ping'an County in the afternoon, so they did not stop for lunch at noon, and prepared to go to Ping'an County to go to the county seat to have a good rub.

Even if you are hungry halfway, there are hot meals and pancakes in the space, as well as the meat buns, which can be taken out and roasted on the charcoal stove, so there is no need to stop and delay the time.

He only stopped to feed the bear fodder and warm water, and the rest did not stop again.

Sure enough, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the gate of Pingyuan County, paid five cents to enter the city.

Although Pingyuan County is not as big as Yunling County, it is not small, it is much more prosperous than Yunling County, and the shops inside are more complete.

Tilt Yan didn't plan to stay in the inn in the county seat, because they still wanted to see what the hell was going on in the Lingguang Temple, it was inconvenient to live in the inn, and it would be more troublesome to go in and out in case there was any situation over there.

Moreover, Lingguang Temple is not in the county seat, but on the mountain in the north of the county seat, which can be passed through the county seat or bypassed from outside the county seat.

Generally, if you go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you will not enter the county, and you can go directly to the mountain from another path.

I went around the main street, found the largest restaurant with the most people, asked Xiao Er to park the carriage, and found a seat on the side of the hall.

I ordered a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes, and had a good meal, to be honest, in fact, it is similar to the dishes in Fucheng and Yunling County, all of which are mutton.

No way, it's impossible to eat pork here, but there is beef, but there are very few people who eat it now that it is used to pull carts and plough the land, and the most eaten are mutton and chicken and the like.

The food cooked here tastes okay, and each chef's skills are different, and they still have their own characteristics.

As for the greens or something, it's still the same radish and cabbage, at most some dried vegetables and mushrooms, so this Qianyan is not forced.

After eating enough, I packed another one, went to the carriage to take down a food box, packed the food and left the restaurant, so that the ugly ugly could be directly received into the space to eat, and the saved ones were left to cool outside.

They didn't go directly to Lingguang Temple, but first found the teahouse with the most people, although the restaurant is said to be a place to eat and a place with the most people, but if you want to hear some news, it has to be a teahouse.

After all, the people in the restaurant are busy eating, and there is less time to chat, and most of the people who go to the teahouse are idlers, and you can hear a lot of news.

When I entered the teahouse, I still found a place to sit down, ordered a pot of tea and peanuts and melon seeds, and sat there and listened quietly.

Now just after dinner, there are a lot of people in the tea house, some of them sit around a table in the lobby, and some people sit in the private rooms upstairs.

In the morning and afternoon, there are storytellers in this teahouse who tell stories on the platform in the middle, but now there is no time at this time, and it will take an hour to do it.

It just so happened that everyone was chatting, and I could hear it with my ears.

She told Chou to pay attention to see if there was any news they wanted to hear.

There is also news from Lingguang Temple, most of which say that it will be closed tomorrow.

It turns out that this has happened in the history of Lingguang Temple since its establishment, and it is said that in addition to the temple being closed during repairs, there was also a prayer for this kind of blessing ten years ago, which also said that it would pray for the people here, and then recited the sutra for 49 hours.

I heard that the second year after the blessing was indeed good harvest in the wind and rain, and later the county order also wanted to let Lingguang Temple do a ritual once a year, but the host of Lingguang Temple refused, saying that it would only be done when they had a sense, and it may not be effective to do it every year.

The person who said this was an old man in his fifties and sixties, saying that his family used to live in the village at the foot of Lingguang Temple Mountain, and his mother would go up to offer incense on the fifteenth day of the new year, but he did not go on the fifteenth day of that month, so he remembered it deeply.

Qian Yan looked at him curiously, he was not dressed like a farmer who planted crops, although it was not silk and satin, he was also dressed in muslin, so he should have opened a shop in this city to do business.

When I was young, I lived in the village, and it didn't necessarily happen when I became more developed.

After that, there were three new people at the table next to her, and it seemed that they should have waited for someone to meet, so they ordered a pot of tea and nothing else.

After sitting down, I heard a person whisper: "If it doesn't snow tonight, we should be able to get to Pingliang City tomorrow."

If it snows, it will be troublesome, and you can't cross Pingliang Mountain during the day, so you can only find a place to wait for the night.

We'd better pay attention to some villages and towns next to official roads in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late to find them temporarily. ”

A young man next to him asked, "Second uncle, why can't we just cross Pingliang Mountain?" ”

Another middle-aged man replied: "You don't know if it's the first time you go out, that Pingliang Mountain can't go up the mountain at night, it's okay during the day, as long as you go up the mountain at night, you will disappear, whether it's a single person or a whole convoy, you can't be spared, those who are missing haven't been found until now, you say it's not dangerous." ”

The young man's eyes widened as he listened, "Really? But how did you know that they were missing? ”

Tilt Yan nodded secretly, yes, she wanted to know too.

The man who was called the second uncle said: "In the past few years, several convoys over there have been accidents, and I began to think that there was another wave of bandits on the mountain, and the Pingliang County Order also sent the county defenders to investigate, but found nothing."

It is said that it took more than half a month to search the entire Pingliang Mountain.

In fact, there are far more than those convoys, there are many people who go up the mountain alone but no one notices, after all, many of the people passing by are not locals, and even if they don't go back, their families don't know where it happened.

This was discovered only after an accident occurred to a merchant in Pingliang County.

The merchant just came to the town on this side of the mountain to settle the bill, and he could have gone back on the same day, but he didn't wait for anyone, and the family reported to the official.

The people from the government came to the town here to check, and the people from the town said that the person had returned that day, and many people had seen it at that time, so the people from the government went to the village at the foot of Pingliang Mountain to inquire, and the people there did see a car going up the mountain at about the same time.
