143: Reason
Liang Hai looked at the people on the river, with a little surprise in his heart.
Because he knew that this piece of the river had been blocked, because on his side, Sanliang refused to set the tax amount set by the Pinghai Gang, so Jiuliwan was blocked here.
At least any one of the three beams going out of the river will be intercepted, and may even die.
The Pinghai Gang said that if they didn't pay the full amount of taxes within seven days, they would drive the water monster to the Spirit Eater.
The Pinghai Gang is good at serving water monsters, and can prey on all kinds of spirit fish and plant baths that are bred in the water on both sides of the river.
At the same time, it is also an important helper of the Pinghai Gang against the enemy.
In the past two days, among the three beams, no one dared to send people out of the river, because if there was only one water monster, it would be fine, but it would appear in groups, even if they also practiced the water method, it was still difficult to resist the water monster in the water.
Standing on the rooftop viewing platform looking at Liang Hai on the river, he was shocked when he saw someone coming on the river, but he felt that the people on the river who went down the green boat seemed to be somewhat familiar.
At this moment, the underwater waves rushed up, and a huge mouth appeared under the waves, swallowing towards the green boat.
However, the person on the green boat seemed to have been prepared, and there was a golden light on his body, but it floated like the wind, just avoiding the underwater raid, and at the same time saw his hand grabbing downward, and the huge strange fish that rushed out of the water and was falling towards the water was actually caught by an invisible force.
From a distance, I saw that the people and the waves brought out were taken in the void, and they could no longer fall back to the surface of the river.
Liang Hai only recognized it at this time, the water monster was the Pingjiang water monster that the core disciples would have in the Pinghai Gang, and the cultivation method was only known to the core members of the Pinghai Gang, and the Pingjiang water monster cultivated would also be different, all kinds of strange things.
It is said that there was once a legendary big man, and this water monster was refined into an external incarnation.
At this time, the water monster was caught by the person who rode the green boat with his backhand.
Before he could figure it out, he saw that flames suddenly gushed out of the water monster's body, the flames seemed to burn out from the inside, the flames burned out, the water monster seemed not to be dead, it was still writhing and struggling, but soon it stopped moving, although it was not burned to ashes, it had become pitch black, and fell into the water.
In the distance, in the middle of the river, on the big boat, the young man in white suddenly fell backwards, trembling all over.
The woman next to him was in a hurry.
"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you, senior brother, senior brother......"
The senior brother on the deck didn't move and couldn't answer, she immediately said loudly: "Go back to the gang, quickly." ”
"Yes!" There was a loud voice from the crowd.
……
In Liang Hai's eyes, the person in the air turned around and stepped into the void, as if stepping on the swirling river wind on the river, like a big bird, towards the river bank, when the other party got closer and closer, he finally saw the other party's appearance clearly,
Is that?
Zhao Daochang!
The son's senior brother in the lower courtyard of Tiandu Mountain.
He clearly remembered that once, when his son came home, he brought this senior brother Zhao Yingyun back, and every year when he came back, he inevitably told his story in the mountains, and it was inevitable that there was his senior brother Zhao Yingyun in the story.
For this Zhao Daochang, his son is very respectful.
He thought that after his son died, all ties would be severed, but he never thought that he would see him again today.
Memories of his son couldn't help but flood back into his heart.
Zhao Yingyun did not go to the roof of someone else's river viewing platform, but landed on the wooden ferry. He looked at the people on the roof, and then at the many people on the shore who seemed to be facing the enemy, and made a salute, and said, "Zhao Yingyun, the poor Dao Tiandu Mountain, has seen you. ”
After speaking, he looked at Liang Hai on the river on the roof, saluted again, and said, "I've seen Uncle Hai." ”
When he came to Liang's house in Jiuliwan, he was Liang Daozi's identity as a fellow disciple, and he was called Uncle Hai at that time, and now that Liang Daozi is not there, he still calls him so.
Liang Hai's heart fluctuated, jumped down from the roof, looked at Zhao Yingyun, and said, "It's really Daoist Zhao." ”
After he finished saying this, a lot of words suddenly poured out in his heart, but after it came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it, so he had to bow deeply and said, "Daoist Zhao, it's okay." ”
"Uncle Hai, Fushou!" Zhao Yingyun saluted again.
He looked at Liang Hai's face, if it weren't for the wind and frost on his face, just looking at the outline, it could be seen that Liang Daozi looked very similar to him.
Liang Hai shouted backwards: "Prepare wine and set up a banquet." ”
Those who were still stunned in place The Liang family agreed and immediately went to prepare.
And Zhao Yingyun was introduced into their big guest hall by Liang Hai.
The hall is called 'Wind Hall', and there are couplets on both sides.
"No disaster, no difficulty, blessing extended!"
"I am fortunate to have fun, and I am virtuous!"
When he stood in front of this door, he read it with Liang Daozi, who told him that their ancestors had written it when they built a hall here when they first separated.
Over the years, people have long passed away, and the words he left behind, as well as the expectations and entrustments he left behind, are still here.
At that time, Liang Daozi's words were still in his ears, but the person had been dead for many years.
He walked up the stairs step by step, and no one knew what he was thinking.
A little boy next to him looked at him curiously.
After entering the hall, sitting separately from the guest and host, Liang Hai praised Zhao Yingyun's profoundness, and for a while, Liang Hai said a lot of things, but he seemed to avoid talking about Liang Daozi.
At this time, there was a woman sitting next to her from the back room, she was Liang Daozi's mother, after sitting for a while, she seemed to have something to say, but she was stopped by Liang Hai with her eyes, but after a silence, she finally couldn't help asking.
"Daochang Zhao, the old woman has something to say, I don't know whether to ask." The woman said.
"Auntie, please speak." Zhao Yingyun actually already has a number in his heart.
"My son, Daozi, how did he die?" After the woman asked, Liang Hai also looked at Zhao Yingyun with a burning eye.
At the same time, there were other people in the room, and they all stopped.
In fact, they didn't know how Liang Daozi died, only the news came, saying that Liang Daozi was dead, they didn't even see the body, and no one told them the reason.
Zhao Yingyun pondered for a moment and asked, "Who sent this news back?" ”
"It is a disciple of the lower courtyard who traveled here, his name is Yang Liuqing, I heard that it seems that he has a good relationship with Daozi in the lower courtyard." Liang Hai asked.
"It's him." Zhao Yingyun sighed and said: "Yang Liuqing is a taciturn character, but he is a very affectionate person, when he is in the mountains, he often walks with Daozi. ”
Zhao Yingyun thought that Yang Liuqing did not say the cause of Liang Daozi's death, probably because he died at the hands of the same family, so it was difficult to say, so he did not say the reason.
And when he was notified, he didn't know if it was before or after he killed Xu Yajun, he thought it might be after.
Because he felt that if Xu Yajun hadn't died, Yang Liuqing wouldn't have been able to face Liang Hai, but Xu Yajun was dead, and he couldn't say that someone had avenged Liang Daozi, because Yang Liuqing himself didn't know it at first.
"Daozi was killed by a Xuanguang disciple in the lower courtyard, although I didn't see it, but I also found out, after he died at the hands of this person, he was buried in the Yangling Law Fishing Ground." Zhao Yingyun said.
"Daozi, why did he kill Daozi?" Liang Hai asked: "Although Daozi is lively and talkative, he is not the kind of person who will offend people, how can he make enemies with others." ”
"Daozi is good at fishing for spirit fish, that person wants to accept him by his side, Daozi is unwilling, and rejects the other party, but he annoys the other party and actually kills him." Zhao Yingyun said.
Liang Hai was silent for a while after hearing this, he knew that Liang Daozi was in the mountains, and he was following the person in front of him, Zhao Daochang.
Liang Daozi's mother next to her cried bitterly: "How can there be such a vicious person, is there no one in Tiandu Mountain?" ”
"The mountain is not strict about the affairs of the lower court, and it is not a murder in the mountain gate, and the murderer is also a child of the mountain family." Zhao Yingyun paused when he said this, but everyone in the room who heard him understood what he meant.
Liang's mother sobbed, and Liang Hai sighed.
At this time, the little boy who had been eavesdropping next to him suddenly said loudly: "When I grow up, I must learn powerful spells to avenge my father." ”
Zhao Yingyun looked at the little boy who was about ten years old, and asked in surprise, "Is this a child of Daozi?" Does he have a baby? ”
In his memory, Liang Daozi had no children.
"This is his eldest brother's successor, Daozi is unmarried, but I don't want him to have no queen, so let his eldest brother pass on a child to continue the incense for him." Liang Hai said with a long sigh.
Zhao Yingyun looked at the little boy, and the perception in his eyes did not seem to be fake, of course, it could not be taught by others, so he couldn't help beckoning.
The other party walked over, Zhao Yingyun touched his head, and said: "At a young age, he has ambition, and he must be a good man when he grows up." However, there is no need for you to avenge your father, because the person who killed your father is dead. ”
"Dead?" After Liang Hai heard these two words, he also stood up.
"Yes, he died in the third month and eight days after the death of Daozi, this person was ordered to go down the mountain, to go to the mountain to appoint, in the middle of the road, in an inn, was killed by someone casting a spell in the bed dream."
After Zhao Yingyun finished speaking, Liang Hai asked anxiously: "Does the Taoist know who killed him?" ”
Zhao Yingyun didn't answer, but leaned sideways to pick up the tea on the table and took a sip gently.
Liang Hai immediately stopped asking, but gave a deep salute.
Zhao Yingyun hurriedly put down the teacup, held his arm up, and said: "Uncle Hai made this great gift and killed me, Daozi followed me in and out of the mountain gate in the mountains, and went down the mountain with me to subdue demons and catch ghosts, I was really ashamed that I couldn't protect him." ”
Liang Hai looked up to the sky and sighed.
Zhao Zhiyun knew that the pain of losing a child must be very painful, not to mention, a family can produce such a gifted monk, and the whole family can provide him with cultivation in the mountains, but the news of his death suddenly came, that feeling can be imagined.
Over there, Liang's mother said loudly: "It's good to die, it's good to die, Daochang Zhao, you kill him to avenge my family's Daozi, and it is not in vain that Daozi will fight with you." ”
Zhao Yingyun made a salute, sighed in his heart, turned to look at the boy beside him, and said, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Liang Jidao." The boy said loudly.
"Okay, it's good to follow the Tao, can you start learning the Tao?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"Since last year, I have been studying in our Sanliang Daotang." Liang Hai said.
Zhao Chengyun pondered for a moment and said, "I'll test you later, see how you learn, whether it's good." ”
The little boy was excited and said loudly, "Well, there is no one in the Dao Hall who learns better than me. ”
Zhao Yingyun reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile: "The personality is a bit similar to Daozi." ”
In this way, between everyone talking, the banquet was almost ready.
At the banquet, Zhao Yingyun asked if there was something going on here, why someone blocked the river, why someone said that there were water monsters here, and there were water monsters attacking him.
So, Liang Hai sighed and said what happened here recently, and Zhao Zhiyun knew that it was the Pinghai Gang that collected too much tax.
"What about the rest of the place? It shouldn't be just this nine-mile bend here, are there any other places? Zhao Yingyun asked.
"The Four Seas Gang did not receive it at the same time, but came one by one, and after this section was handed over, they would find the next section of the family on the river." Liang Hai said.
"The Pinghai Gang is powerful, I'm afraid even if the three beams are together, they won't be able to resist the Pinghai Gang." Zhao Yingyun said.
"Yes, but if we hand it over, they will do it again next year, won't we be squeezed cleanly." Liang Hai said: "The Liwan Liang family has a good relationship with the head of the Xutu faction in the nearby Jinshan, and he has already gone to ask the other party to help yesterday. ”
"What kind of cultivation is the head of this Tu Sect?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"The cultivation of years of foundation building, and the person who enjoys a good reputation in the local area, has him to come, or he can talk about peace, or there is room for maneuver." Liang Hai said.
When he said this, he seemed to think of something, stopped his chopsticks, looked at Zhao Yingyun, and said, "Just now, the water monster killed by the Dao Chief, that is, only the core disciples of the Pinghai Gang will raise it, and it was burned to death by the Daozi." ……”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yingyun immediately understood that the other party was worried that he would make a heavy attack and provoke the anger of the Pinghai Gang.
"Uncle Hai don't worry, the water monster attacked me, I killed no one to say anything, if someone comes to talk about it, just look for me." Zhao Yingyun said.
"Dao Chief, this Pinghai Gang is powerful." The person who spoke was Liang Daozi's eldest brother, and he was the only one on the entire banquet.
It's just that when Zhao Yingyun and Liang Hai were talking, they just heard it silently and didn't interject.
At this moment, someone outside shouted: "Oh no, the people from the Pinghai Gang are here." ”
A few people eating and drinking in the house, Zhao Yingyun would not move, Liang Daozi's eldest brother Liang Songzi's hands trembled, and Liang Hai's face also changed.
And the offering is to push away the stool and run outside.
He was followed by Liang Songzi.
When Liang Hai also stood up and saw Zhao Yingyun who was standing still, a new idea was born in his heart, and he said secretly: "Daozi often says that his senior brother has excellent talent, is it that in just over seven years, he has already built a foundation?" ”
But soon I thought that even if the foundation was successful, it was only a new foundation building monk, and there must be a small gap compared to the two old foundation building monks of the Pinghai Gang.
Even though the Tiandu Mountain exercises are subtle, the mana, as well as the magic weapons, all require time to practice and practice.
