Chapter 57: The Monster Who Blocks the Way

Chen Jingzhi and the two got into a large carriage and rushed to join another caravan outside the city. It's just that not long after leaving the city, Chen Jingzhi jumped out of the lane, "Brother Xu, you send Brother Yang over first, I still have some things to deal with, and I'll be there later." ”

Xu Da took a look and saw that Yang Tingqing had no opinion, so he drove to the east of the city.

Chen Jingzhi looked very leisurely, and walked towards an old willow tree by the river a mile away. This willow tree is several feet high, with thousands of branches hanging down, and the greenery is verdant.

"You've been staring at us all the way for so long, maybe you want to invite me to have a cup of tea?" Chen Jingzhi looked at the willow tree, as if talking to himself.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with cold eyes walked out from behind the willow tree, wearing a cloth coat, very simple, "I want you to die." ”

Peng Or walked out step by step, with a compelling momentum, and asked blatantly, "You killed the weasel on Pheasant Ridge, so take your life to pay for it." ”

"I said that how could two wild demons who are not in the climate pray for the sealing technique, and it is indeed supported by the gods. Chen Jingzhi smiled, "But I'm very strange, what can two low-level monsters do in Pheasant Ridge?"

"You want to know?" Peng said abruptly, "I'll tell you if you're dead." ”

Chen Jingzhi waved his hand, "Slow down, let me guess." He was not afraid of the other party at all, but looked carefully, and saw that Peng He only had a few silver threads on the crown of his head, and he was dressed plainly, which was completely different from the Dao Palace he had seen, and said with a smile, "I think you want two weasels to rob passers-by and get silver taels for you to practice, which is really a bit inferior." ”

"What are you talking about?" Peng Or was hit by Chen Jingzhi's words, and was immediately furious, and immediately pulled out a magic sword from his waist, and his feet were like the wind, and a sword stabbed out.

Chen Jingzhi's feet were lightly touched, his arms were naturally stretched, and his person quickly swept backwards against the shallow grass on the ground, bringing a soft breeze, and then he heard his hearty laughter.

"What's the matter if you think about it carefully? Why be angry and angry, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry?"

As soon as Chen Jingzhi's words fell, the Lei Lingzhu in his hand instantly pulled out a bang and slammed into the opponent's magic sword. Although that magic sword added a lot of refined iron, it was only a mortal sword, and it was hit by a magic weapon like Lei Lingzhu, and it was already broken with a sound.

Peng He was shocked, the sword had already been handed out, and when he was stunned, Chen Jingzhi turned over and jumped up, and then kicked out like a raging wind under his feet, and with a bang, he kicked Peng He in the chest. Peng He had a pain in his chest, was hit hard, was kicked out, and hit the big willow tree again, and the willow tree behind him was shaken for a while, and then he saw Peng He fall to the ground, covering his chest, and holding his breath in his chest.

"I think you have a lot of ability, so dare to instruct monsters to block the road and rob passers-by?" Chen Jingzhi smiled, very disdainful, this kind of person does not have much ability, but he thinks very highly of himself, and always likes to use all kinds of means.

"I advise you, practice hard, and don't take the wrong path. Today is outside the city, if it were somewhere else, I would not have lectured you a lesson, but would have cut off your dog's head. After Chen Jingzhi finished speaking, the corner of his mouth smiled, and he turned around and floated away.

Peng or his eyes were even more vicious, he was originally because of the poverty of his family, even if he entered the Pingchuan County Dao Palace to become a walker, and even under his painstaking cultivation, he was promoted to the patrol court. But even if he tried so hard, his fellow disciples in the Dao Palace still looked down on him and sneered everywhere.

He only wanted to practice to the Inspector now, and then he wanted to see who would dare to look down on him. It's just that it's so easy to practice, especially from a poor background like him, and there are obstacles everywhere. In desperation, I thought of asking monsters to help me practice, one or two hundred taels of silver a year, and the elixir on the mountain is also a lot of help.

After a moment, he stood up, covered in dirt and grass, and gritted his teeth and looked in the direction where Chen Jingzhi had gone.

After Chen Jingzhi solved Peng He's stalking, he quickly caught up with Xu Da's carriage.

The convoy to Guangcheng Mansion is a large convoy, and the owner of the convoy is Guangcheng Fucheng, which originally sent goods from Guangcheng Mansion to Pingchuan County, and this time it was back, and the convoy did not bring much with it. However, everyone is happy, and the things in Fucheng are not worried about selling in the county.

Yang Tingqing and Chen Jingzhi sat in the car, he chatted with the coachman guys from time to time, and listened to the coachmen guys talk about the ghosts they had encountered before, he was extremely excited, but in the end, he would say a sentence, the strange force was confused, and he stayed away. The coachman's men were very happy to talk to him when they saw that although he was a showman, his words and demeanor did not discriminate against them, the peddlers.

Yang Tingqing also learned a lot of things from them, which improved his thinking to a certain extent. He now reflects on the fact that in the past, he wrote articles that were too formalistic and ignored the connotations.

The speed of the convoy was not fast, and Chen Jingzhi sat on the car, closing his eyes and resting his mind. It's not that he holds his own identity, it's that he doesn't stop practicing when he has nothing to do. After walking for a long time, I passed a post house, and there was a tea stall under a big tree nearby, and an old couple was selling sour plum soup.

As the old man shouted, everyone felt thirsty, and saliva rumbled in their throats. The steward of the caravan also gave people a little rest, feeding the cattle and horses. A caravan of twenty or thirty people walked towards the tea stall, and the old couple hurriedly greeted them, with a smile on the wrinkles on their faces, "Steward Song, are you going back to Fucheng?"

Steward Song waved his hand and said with a smile, "Old Tietou, hurry up, serve sour plum soup, one bowl per person." He pointed to the men of their caravan and exclaimed, "Feed our cattle and horses with water and grass." ”

The old iron head smiled, "The old man knows, you sit, I will immediately ask my son to feed the horses and cattle to you." ”

Chen Jingzhi and the two also entered the tea shed together, and the old woman moved the old long wooden chair out. Some of the coachmen were already tired from sitting and were standing and stretching. The old woman came over with a bowl of sour plum soup, and Chen Jingzhi also held a bowl, and then he put a few copper coins.

The old woman grinned, they were the merchants who followed the convoy, the convoy would not pay them, and they accepted it happily. A few businessmen saw it and did the same, but there were also a few people who endured it and still didn't want to drink a bowl of sour plum soup, after all, it was three dollars.

Lao Tietou personally came up with a few fruits and a few bowls of sour plum soup and handed them to Steward Song and said with a smile, "I have been freezing the sour plum soup in the cellar for a long time for the past few nights, just waiting for you to come." ”

Steward Song laughed, very satisfied, grabbed the fruit and ate it, sweet and sour, and couldn't help nodding and saying, "Is there any good thing in Lao Tietou Village recently?" If there is, I will buy it and bring it back to Fucheng. ”

"It's only been summer recently, and the mountain goods haven't come out yet, but there are some dried shiitake mushrooms and fungus. The old iron head said with a smile on his face, "But there is a Ganoderma lucidum, and I don't know if the steward can't look at it." ”

"Ganoderma lucidum?" Steward Song's eyes lit up, "Take a look." ”

"I have already called my granddaughter to call the man over, Steward Song, you drank the sour plum soup, and he came. The old iron head smiled, other things are nothing, they are found everywhere, but medicinal materials like Ganoderma lucidum are rare.

Steward Song smiled, if it was really Lingzhi, then he could accept it. He waited for half a bowl of tea, and then he saw two farmers running over.

Steward Song asked, "Lingzhi belongs to the two of them?"

The old iron head was puzzled, and quickly took a look, sighed, and said in his heart, "Steward Song, this is not, the Tie Wu carrying the hemp bag is not called by the little old man." ”

Steward Song looked at his expression and said with a smile, "Does Tie Wu also have good things?" If there really is, take it and accept it." ”

The old iron head stiffened his face and smiled, "This is not easy to say, yesterday Tie Wu went out to weed the farmland and caught a nine-pound bamboo leaf green in the field." On the same day, Tie Wu was going to slaughter the big green snake, but he heard that the big green snake could be sold for a good price in the county, so he stayed. may have heard that Steward Song was coming, so he followed along. ”

"I don't think you seem to be willing to sell me the green snake by Tiewu. Steward Song became interested, "I haven't seen a nine-pound bamboo leaf green." ”

"Steward Song, I haven't seen it either, so I'm afraid that I'll become a spirit, but I don't dare to make up my mind. The old iron head was a little scared as he spoke, snakes, foxes, weasels and the like in the mountains looked strange, and the people in the village would not provoke them.

At this time, Tie Wu and the two of them had already run over, a little panting, a middle-aged farmer, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, holding a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum, and said, "Master, I picked Ganoderma lucidum, you can take a look." ”

Steward Song took it, looked at it, and shook his head slightly, this Ganoderma lucidum has an average color and appearance, but it is not rare, and said, "Two taels of silver, put it here." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. "The farmer is thankful, he is about to kneel, he went to the county to find someone to ask the pharmacy, at most one or two or five pieces of silver, he is not willing to sell, so he keeps it. He thanked him for his kindness, holding two small pieces of silver.

Tie Wu's eyes rolled when he saw it, but at this time, he found a handsome young man who seemed to be smiling at him, Tie Wu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Chen Jingzhi looked at the bamboo cage that Tie Wu was holding in his hand, a cloth bag was squirming inside, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Steward Song said, "What kind of good thing are you?"

"Master, I caught a big snake, bamboo leaf green, nine catties and nine taels, I caught such a big snake for the first time, begging the master to give a price. Tie Wu bent over, a chrysanthemum on his face.

"Untie it and see. Steward Song glanced at it a few times and waved his hand, this person was too close, and his bad breath gave him a headache.

Tie Wu was full of joy, immediately opened the burlap bag in the bamboo cage, and was cautious, shouting, "Master, this bamboo leaf is very fierce, I was almost bitten by this long insect yesterday." ”
