Mingyi looked at the book in a daze, and his sallow face due to dehydration opened the dye vat, and after a while, he weakly called out to the little junior brother.

"What do you want Mingji to do?!" Master Yuankong was even more angry, and picked up the Zen belt and hit, "Don't think he will help you cover up the past!" ”

"No, Master, it's really not ...... this time" Mingyi wanted to hide, but because of his weak body, he couldn't dodge, so he could only ask Li Congzhou for help with his eyes.

Li Congzhou stepped forward helplessly, "Master, this time ......"

"Don't plead, it's none of your business!"

Li Congzhou blocked in front of Mingyi, "Master, this time there is really something else hidden. ”

"What's the secret?"

Li Congzhou paused, saying that he bumped into Gu Yunqiu's master and servant when he came back, "They also bought a lot of books, it was dark, and we didn't hold the lights when we picked up the books, so maybe we made a mistake, and I can't blame the senior brother." ”

That's what he said, but he always thought:

Did the little gentleman deliberately hit him and steal the dragon and phoenix while he was unprepared, in order to harm him with this filth?

Master Yuankong frowned, looked at Li Congzhou and then at Mingyi, and finally chose to believe, "I see." ”

However, he still doesn't have a good face for Mingyi, "If you don't go down the mountain and break the precepts, you won't cause such a thing!" Senior brother doesn't look like a senior brother, Mingji will be ruined by you! ”

"And since this thing is the son of King Ning, you want to return him, don't ask Mingji to handle it again, don't listen?!"

Mingyi nodded hurriedly.

Master Yuankong glared at him hatefully, and walked away with a drop of his sleeves.

Under the moon, the breeze in the Zen Monastery was gentle, and Li Congzhou saw the master leave.

When Master Yuankong walked away completely, he stared at the inky night for a long time before turning back to Mingyi, who was half-lying on the bed, and said, "Senior brother, I'll go out for a while, you turn off the lights and go to bed first." ”

Mingyi didn't ask much, and waved his hand to show that he knew.

Li Congzhou withdrew, slowly closed the door, and when he looked up again, his expression was grim and his pupils were deep, like a fierce beast awakened in the darkness -

Stepping on the wall, he dodged out of the monk's house, walked around the temple, and pulled out a tall horse with pure black fur from the deep mountains and dense forests.

Li Congzhou climbed the saddle and turned over on the horse, leaned over and raised the whip, and the horse galloped down.

His goal was clear, and he went straight to the western suburbs of the capital along the mountain road.

At this moment, the capital had been given the key, and although he had made some detours, he still arrived at Anxi Station, eighty miles west of the city, before midnight.

In the northwest of the post station, there is a wild shop, and there is a string of bright lanterns hanging in front of the store, on which a big "Sun" character is clearly written.

Li Congzhou observed for a while, tied his horse behind a big tree a few feet away from the post station, and quietly approached the backyard of Yedian on foot.

There was a fire in the middle of the courtyard, and two strong men were napping with a knife.

On the ground beside them, there sat a dozen teenagers and girls tied together with iron chains, their clothes in rags and no shoes on their feet, staring hatefully at the two strong men in the middle.

Li Congzhou secretly sneered, jumped into the courtyard with a leap against the wall.

He has practiced this nocturnal technique since he was a child, and he has put a lot of effort into the two years since he was reborn, and he has been able to climb the water, walk alone for thousands of miles, and chase the wind for thousands of miles.

He landed silently, and the people in the courtyard didn't even notice him.

Li Congzhou did not hesitate, jumped out of the firelight and shadows, took the eagle claw skill in his left hand directly to the throat of one of them, and snatched the cloud ring moon with the Pu knife with his right hand, and wiped the neck of the other person.

With a click, blood gushed out, and the flames in the pond jumped, and the two strong men fell to the ground silently.

The boys and girls who were bound to the ground were staring at him in horror with wide eyes. And Li Congzhou just grabbed the knife flower with his backhand and cut off the chains on their bodies one by one.

He didn't understand the Miao language, so he could only use the gesture of communicating with Wuying in his previous life, and pointed to the south outside the courtyard.

Then he didn't care if the group of Miao teenagers understood it or not, and turned over and went to the second floor of the Ueye store - this was the property of the tooth man surnamed Sun.

On the first floor, there is a wild shop on the adjacent official road, and when there is no tooth business, he sells some simple wine and food to passers-by, and the second floor is where he lives.

Sun Ya didn't know anything about what was happening in the courtyard, and he was still lying on the bed and sleeping.

Li Congzhou kicked open the door and dragged the knife in his hand step by step.

The tip of the knife hung down to the ground, and it pulled out a burst of oozing metallic sounds.

Sun Ya on the bed was awakened, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a figure with a knife on the floor in front of the door in the dim residual moonlight.

He screamed and shrank into the corner: "W-who?!" ”

Li Congzhou didn't say a word of nonsense, flipped the knife as soon as he lifted it, and threw it with his forehand aimed at Sun Ya.

The martial arts of Baoguo Temple originated from Shaolin, in addition to the leg fist method, the palm power is also extremely high. Li Congzhou has studied and practiced hard for the past two years, and a simple knife is like lightning, nailing through Sun Ya's chest with a whoosh.

Sun's eyes were cracked, his buckteeth were wide open, and a hissing sound came out of his throat, and blood gushed down the hole in his chest, quickly staining the quilt and the entire bed.

Before returning to the National Temple, Li Congzhou inquired: This man surnamed Sun Ya is a family that started from the "two-legged sheep" business, and there was a great drought and starvation in Guanzhong that year, and many poor people changed their children to eat.

Sun Ya spied on the business opportunity and actually abducted hundreds of children from the Kanto area.

Some of them were taken away directly, and some of them ransomed from their families, saying that they were introduced to Guanzhong on an errand, and as a result, when they went to Guanzhong, they sold them to local wealthy families at twenty or thirty times the market price and became their vegetable people.

The two-legged sheep is not a sheep, but a trade that eats human flesh.

That year, the deceased was in the middle of the Guanzhong, but several wealthy families were discussing that the meat of the seven or eight-year-old girl was the best, and the boy's meat tasted sour, so that the grandson would have less "rams".

Later, this matter was discovered by the imperial court, and Sun Ya spent a lot of money to bribe the officials who tried the case, and was released after only one year in prison, and started to do errands for others again.

Looking at Sun Ya's frozen body, the corners of Li Congzhou's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty essence.

He rummaged through it, lifted the blood-stained cotton wool, and found a secret compartment under the bed as he wished, and in the dark compartment was a box of silver—about what Sun Ya had accumulated over the years.

Li Congzhou took out the box, pulled a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, poured out the silver, then tied the bag of silver tightly and walked back to the side of the courtyard, and threw it to the group of Miao people:

"And then."

The nearest young man took it, and the cloth bag was scattered in a corner, revealing a full silver inside. A group of Miao people looked at it in amazement, gesturing and asking why.

Li Congzhou only raised his eyebrows and motioned to them again: Go.

After speaking, he didn't care whether the Miao people understood it or not, and reflexively went back to Sun Ya's room.

He fixed beside the bed for a moment, and finally saw a money bag pressed under Sun Ya's body, the money bag was half soaked in blood, and the originally dark yellow cloth was also dyed a dark red.

Li Congzhou sneered, took it out and weighed it twice, and he didn't dislike it, so he withdrew it into his chest.

Then he turned around and went out of the wild shop, went to the tree outside the post station to untie the reins, and urged the horse to return to the Dragon Mountain.

A whip sounded, the black horse spread its hooves, accompanied by the midnight bell of the post station, and a shocking fire burst into the distance with a bang, and billowing smoke rose from the northwest—

"Let's go, let's go!"

Li Congzhou didn't look back, only under the blood-red waning moon, deepening the smile on his lips.

Back at the monk's house, Li Congzhou unexpectedly found that the light in the room was still on.

He gently pushed open the door, only to find Mingyi flipping through the book with red peonies on the cover.

The inside pages of the book were filled with coloring and illustrations, and from a distance, there were white flowers in the past, Rao was alive for two lifetimes, Li Congzhou couldn't help but close his eyes, and called out angrily: "Senior brother! ”

Mingyi was fascinated by it, and was frightened by his voice, and subconsciously stuffed the book under the pillow, "Back, back?" ”

Li Congzhou stared at him coldly.

Mingyi was not ashamed at all, "Senior brother is sick now, how can I return the book if I don't have the strength on my body?" Lie here and there is nothing to do, just see what is tight, and when it is better in the future, I will go and return him. ”

Knowing that his senior brother was of this temperament, Li Congzhou rolled his eyes, turned around and went to the kang, and lay down face in.

"Senior brother turns off the lights."

Mingyi responded, but only used the monk's robe to block the candle flame, and when Li Congzhou fell asleep, he quietly took out the book again:

To say that this rich and noble family is really different, he has read a lot of this thing, but he has never seen such a different -

The books next to it all write about how men and women are happy, and at most add a little monsters, gods and ghosts, past and present lives.

This book is very different:

At the beginning, it was written that the rich man who had killed his wife fell in love with a handsome scholar, and then turned the page to the scholar asked the rich family to go to another woman, and after five pages, the three of them made a trip, and after eight pages, the successor room and her mother joined the war.

Mingyi was eye-opening and couldn't stop, so he read it all night and fell asleep with a book.

The next day, as soon as Li Congzhou opened his eyes, he felt that something was covering his face, and he reached out and touched the hula sound, but he didn't care if the bedside scroll fell.

As a result, I sat up and looked closely, but I saw the sentence "Wearing armor and holding a gun, breaking through the red door", and there were two men in obscene postures and stacked on top of each other.

Li Congzhou breathed heavily, and his eyes were instantly stunning.

He looked at Mingyi, who was snoring on the side, grinded his teeth fiercely, and then stretched out his hand vigorously, and the thin pages of the book instantly turned into pieces in his palm.

Li Congzhou turned over and got out of bed past his senior brother, and went to the mountains to fetch water and chop firewood as usual.

Only when passing by the Jiuqu Bridge, he glared at the direction of the small courtyard of the palace-

○○○

Separated by a wall, inside the wings.

Gu Yunqiu, who got up in the morning to read, was lying in front of the bookcase, holding those business books and reading them with relish-dim sum is very useful, and there are also books that speak about hidden words in the city, which is very much in line with his heart.

For example, the popular "pinching yard" in Shaanxi and Jin is that buyers and sellers hide their hands in straw hats or cuffs, and understand the price by touching each other's fingers, which can be kept secret and not known to a third party.

Another example is the stall at the mouth of the canal, if the spout of the wine bottle is on the back of the wine bottle, it is asking - whether you are your own family or an outsider, if you want to show your identity as a family, you have to put the wine bottle spout and the wine bottle spout in a line.

……

As he was watching, he suddenly sneezed twice in a row.

Dim Sum came over when he heard the voice, "Childe, but it's cold?" ”

Gu Yunqiu rubbed the tip of his nose, "It's not cold." ”

Someone is probably reading him behind his back, right?

- I don't know who it is, I want to remember him early in the morning!

It's really rat belly chicken intestines, be careful with your eyes.

"That's right," he looked out the window and lowered his voice, "Later, A-Niang will go to the main hall, you tell me, take you to do something big——! ”
