The summoner flew straight into the night sky with a piercing roar.

A firework explodes.

Xu Da raised his head and looked at the people present, he wanted to guard everyone, and now he was the protagonist.

Because he has two heroic souls, Yushanshan and Shangong Youfu, Wang Qilin also lent Jiuliu to him, and he led Jiuliu as if he was holding a police dog.

When was the most glorious moment of your life? And I, now!

The common people were gathered in one place, peeking to look at the front and back, left and right, in front of a big river, behind are two cold and dark male ghosts, on the left is a huge beast ghost, on the right is even more ruthless, a female ghost in red!

No one dared to move.

Wang Qilin and Xie Toad stood in front of the old monk in Guangnan, but the old monk was calm, sitting on the ground shirtless and chanting the scriptures.

The two asked him for questioning, but he ignored it, just chanted with his eyebrows lowered.

The night breeze blew his long snow-white eyebrows and beard, and the snow-white moonlight shone on his bald head and old face.

Wang Qilin sighed and said: "Master Guangnan, you really disappointed the official, the official originally thought that you really learned to feed the tiger with your body and sacrifice your life for righteousness, how can you steal and play tricks? If you really die in the river to go over the water ghost, how good it would be!"

When the old monk heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and lowered his eyelids to chant the scriptures.

Xie Toad said, "Monk, did you instruct the people in this village to beat the soul pile?"

Hearing this, Guang Nan finally raised his head, he folded his hands and bowed and said: "Amitabha, if you don't know the truth, you know that you misunderstand people." After returning to the cave, there is nowhere to shelter from the wind and dust. ”

Fat Wuyi is very envious, this monk is a cultural person, he speaks one sentence after another, and he is in a fog when he listens to it, and he can't understand what he is talking about at all.

Xie Toad smiled slightly and returned the salute, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I already know, why do you need to ask more." It's better to go back, there are green mountains everywhere. ”

"Thou knowest that thou hast asked more about Zen. You might as well sit in a leisurely place, and you have your own cave in the sky. ”

Fat Wuyi looked at Xie Toad in surprise, it turned out that Dao Ye was not only capable and skilled, but also very cultured.

Looking at the two old men, he sighed in his heart: I often call myself a heroine? It turned out to be a hero in the world!

Wang Qilin didn't know what dumb riddles Xie Toad and the old monk were playing, since someone was doing it for him, he was watching from the side.

In the end, Xie Toad became impatient, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Old monk? Whether it's a raw pile or a borrowed soul pile? Is this all a hurtful thing? Do you chant the sutra every day into the dog's belly?"

Guang Nan smiled bitterly: "Please ask the Taoist chief to check carefully, the old monk doesn't even know where to hit the soul borrowing pile, how can he guide others to fight? You won't believe the old monk's words? But the old monk still has to say that the soul pile and the soul borrowing pile in the mouth of the Taoist chief have nothing to do with the old monk. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Do you think that if Yin Neng dies, your ass will be clean?"

Xie Toad also said: "Borrowing a soul pile like this? By no means without arrangement, as long as you shout casually, you can bind people's souls? Can Yin be so old? He can't do everything himself, right? He's going to have to find someone to do it for him, right?"

"And? Maybe this Yin Neng still likes to write a transcript, a codex, a handwritten conversation and something like that? There will definitely be clues in his house. Wang Qilin said firmly.

The old monk is still smiling? But I don't chant anymore.

Wang Qilin touched his bald head and said, "Uncle, you only have one way to go now, and that is to confess and be lenient, what is the use of you saying that you are stubborn here? You can't hide the truth!"

The old monk bowed his head and was silent.

It is clear that he is stubborn to the end.

In this case, Wang Qilin beckoned to Fat Wuyi: "Come, continue to beat him?" Since he won't confess, then you will beat him? Beat him until he confessed. ”

"What if he doesn't confess?" asked Fat Five-Year.

Wang Qilin said: "Then continue to beat him." ”

Fat Wuyi nodded: "I have been beaten without explanation!"

The old monk smiled and said, "Amitabha? Even if the donor kills the old monk? The old monk has nothing to explain. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Well, I hope your mouth can always be so hard." ”

Horses galloping on the shore, flying boats riding the wind and waves in the river? Mao Yiqi led people to come in two ways.

He himself was riding a tall horse, and there was still a distance of dozens of feet, and he stepped on the stirrups with his feet like a dragon, and flew over in the void.

After landing, Mao Yiqi saluted: "Returning to Lord Wang, the twenty infantry troops and forty sailors have arrived, please command." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Control everyone here, check their identities one by one, and look for outsiders." ”

Mao Yiqi shouted: "Humble obedience!"

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and the bustle on the banks of the river soon began.

Wang Qilin asked Xie Toad, "Master Dao, what is this soul borrowing pile?"

Xie Toad said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, Seventh Master, you know, the bridge has locks, scissors, and forks in feng shui, and the rivers and roads are called water dragons and earth dragons, so building bridges on rivers is like locking the dragon's body, if the river has a spirit, it is naturally unwilling to be bound obediently." ”

Wang Qilin knew that after many rivers built bridges, a dragon-slaying sword would be hung under the bridge.

The dragon sword is a parallel license, which is an ordinary iron sword, which is hung under the bridge to give the surrounding people a sense of peace of mind.

If there is a water Jiao who wants to walk from under the bridge like the sea, this sword can break its dragon spine and make it unable to turn into a dragon for life.

Even if there is no water Jiao crossing the bridge, this dragon slaying sword can also deter water beasts from all directions and guard the ghosts in the water.

Whether it is a water beast or a goblin, they naturally do not want to be restrained, and they will do everything possible to prevent the bridge from being built.

So in some places, there is a saying that the stake is sacrificed to the water spirit, which is a useless evil art, and the ghosts cannot take human lives for their own use, so what is the use of sacrificing human lives to them?

Besides, if they need human lives, as long as there are no bridges, people on both sides of the river can only support boats to cross the river, and then people will not be their fish in the water?

But what about building bridges? People who build bridges will cross the river from the bridges, then it's not their territory, they won't be able to kill people anymore.

So as long as the ghosts in the river are not stupid, they will not covet a small profit in the near future and give up the long-term big gains.

It's different with the Soul Pile, this thing is really useful.

Xie Toad sighed and said, "Seventh Master, what you just said is right, if you rely on killing people to be ghosts to guard the bridge piles, then since the ghosts were killed by the people who built the bridge, how can they be willing to guard the bridge? ”

"Borrowing the soul pile is different, it is to use evil means to deceive people and leave a breath under the bridge, and as long as the time comes, as long as the person is brought back, the person will be attracted to the bridge pile by this breath, and be bound in the bridge pile, becoming a water spirit guarding the bridge pile. ”

Wang Qilin said: "The entire dart team has fallen into the evil art of borrowing soul piles, so after Lao Ming and the two of them came here, they would hear the call of their family members, and they would take the initiative to jump into the water to seek death after losing their souls?"

Xie Toad nodded, and the old monk sang another Buddhist poem: "There are thoughts in life, and there are many feelings in my heart." looked at each other silently, and stood alone. ”

Wang Qilin said: "I saw a lot of small clay figures in the water before, so what's going on?"

Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, that is the magic weapon that casts the technique of borrowing the soul pile, in fact, what they are, the old Tao doesn't know very well, the evil art of borrowing the soul pile is very mysterious." ”

He glanced at the old monk and whispered to Wang Qilin: "Seventh Master, you should know how many people will be killed once this kind of evil art spreads, so the righteous path of the rivers and lakes and the court officials never allow this kind of evil art to spread. ”

"Those who know this kind of evil art are either related to some cults that have been passed down through the ages, or they have a relationship with these cults by chance, in short, Guang Yan has a secret on his body, and the evil thing he is carrying is definitely not just this one!"

Wang Qilin nodded and glanced at the old monk secretly.

The old monk was still bowing his head and chanting the scriptures, very similar to that thing.

Mao Yiqi brought a lot of people, and they were very skilled in checking the people, and they quickly finished checking the people on the shore.

The answer disappointed Wang Qilin, only one of the people here is a monk from Guangnan who is a foreigner, and the others are all villagers from Hanyangmen who can be examined.

"But some people say that they have seen strangers mingling in the crowd, but when you fought in the river just now, everything was in chaos, and when the situation calmed down, the stranger disappeared again. Mao Yiqi finally said.

Wang Qilin said: "Who has seen this person? Call them over, and I will ask them a few words." ”

Mao Yiqi nodded and called over the dozen or so young people who were waiting behind.

The young man in the lead was thin, his face was yellow, his eyes were blue, his beard was sparse, and his body looked very weak.

Wang Qilin felt that he should make up for it.

The young man had seen how powerful they were, and after coming over, he nodded and saluted, and introduced himself as Yin Bingfen.

Wang Qilin asked, "Have you seen a stranger before?"

Yin Bingfen hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, my lord, not only have I seen it, but several of our brothers have noticed him coming, and the reason why they noticed him is because this person is very strange, then you will fight in the river, we all want to run home, but he ran forward." ”

Another young man said, "Yes, my lord, the little one was the first to see him, because he was at the side of the little one, and the little one thought he was our brother, so he pulled him and tried to run back, but he pushed him away and saw him running to the river." ”

Yin Bingfen said: "He must have killed our old elder, isn't it?

Wang Qilin asked, "What does he look like?"

Yin Bingfen scratched his head and said, "I didn't see the specifics, sir, it's too dark, and I saw that he was very fat." ”

"I have a big belly, but I ran pretty fast. Someone added.

Someone else simulated it, put their hands on their lower abdomen and said, "It's so big, it's like six months pregnant." ”

"Taller than me. Yin Bingfen gestured, "It's about so high, I didn't see his face clearly......"

"Then how do you know that he is a stranger?" Wang Qilin immediately asked.

Yin Bingfen smiled: "My lord, what you said, the people here are all villagers, and you can know what kind of fart they put when you look at their small faces, so if you are familiar with someone, you can recognize it by looking at your back? That person is a stranger to me from head to toe, an absolute stranger." ”

The young man who spoke before nodded and said, "It's a stranger, the little one has seen his face, he is a beard, with a circle of beards on his face, but the raw sharp-beaked monkey gills are not a good thing at first glance." ”

Wang Qilin said to Mao Yiqi: "Find a painter, paint a person's face according to what they say, and join the yamen to see if you can find such a person." ”

"Sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, bearded monkeys, and large bellies should be easy to find. Mao Yiqi nodded.

Xie Toad said meaningfully: "The premise is that he lives outside the city, or he has to be active outside the city recently. ”

Mao Yiqi said: "Zhending Mansion is not a big city, and there are not many outsiders pouring in and out, so even if this person is an elder brother from a foreigner, he is not afraid, he must eat and drink, and he will always be discovered by the locals." ”

Wang Qilin took the old monk and Lao Ming and others to return by boat, and it was already past the hour at this time, not far from the dawn hour.

He hurried to bring two dart masters to the bridge of the Hanyangmen River section, so that the two of them could feel the existence of the soul borrowing pile.

One of the two dart masters was also about to jump into the river, Wang Qilin asked him, his experience was the same as Lao Ming's, he also heard the greeting of his family, and subconsciously wanted to jump into the water.

He asked the master about the river crossing that day, and the master said that he had indeed heard someone shouting at them and turned around to ask what was going on.

Another dart master said: "I heard someone shouting at us, but I didn't pay attention to the response, because I would check the fish in the river at the bow of the boat, and I liked to fish, and wondered how the dart team could come to the river to catch a fish if it was repaired in Zhending Mansion." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "You like fishing very much?"

The dart master next to him chuckled and said: "Brother Zhu is a fish idiot, he has been poisoned by fishing, and he has to rub the bait in the last thatched house, and he either says that he has a mouth or shouts black drifting, and when he sees a big pit, he wants to throw two poles, and when he sees water, he will go to see if there are any fish!"

The dart master heard the ridicule in his words, and said unhappily: "Fishing cultivates sentiment, and it doesn't cost any money, and you can catch fish to improve your family's life, how good is it? Lu You has a poem that says well——"

"Rich and ordinary, Tianxi is very clumsy, a hundred times and idle. Thousands of cranes and clouds, fishing streams and bays. Although this poem is written in letters, it does not need to be deleted in the future!"

Wang Qilin nodded and said, "Fishing is indeed a good thing, it allows you to avoid a big trouble." But I'd like to ask, how are you fishing?"

The master pointed to the river and said proudly, "You give me a fishing rod, and I give you a fish pond." ”

Wang Qilin smiled: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The dart master next to him said: "Brother Zhu is not joking, adults don't know, Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law is what he fished." ”

"He took a fancy to my sister-in-law, and learned that my sister-in-law's father wanted to build a fish pond to sell fish to support the family, so he relied on fishing to save the earliest big fish in the fish pond, and the big fish multiplied, and there is the current fish pond. ”

Xu Da exclaimed: "In the past, Jiang Taigong fished and won the official, and now there is Zhu Dart Master who fishes and has a wife, which is very powerful." ”

Zhu Dart Master said happily: "I have a skill, and I don't have to worry about the food for the night!"

They chatted and went down the river, except for a little trouble under the Hanyangmen Bridge, everything was normal at other times.

The sky is slightly bright, and the morning light is beginning to appear.

The city gate of Zhending Mansion opened, and another lively day began.

Many vendors were already waiting outside the gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, they lined up to enter in an orderly manner.

These vendors are all engaged in trading, early in the morning selling tofu, bean skins, scones, lard cakes, chopped cakes and sour soup, and noodles.

The locals also like to eat noodles, and their love for noodles is not inferior to that of the people of the county, such as butter noodles, eel noodles, sour soup noodles, fish soup noodles and so on.

Before Xu Da went back to bed, he decided to have breakfast first, and he could sleep well after eating and drinking.

Wang Qilin persuaded him: "I see that there are goat's milk sellers in the city, drink a bowl of hot goat's milk to sleep, don't eat too much, eating before going to bed is easy to get stomach problems, especially easy to stomach reflux water." ”

"Uncle is full, why does his stomach still reflux acid water?" Xu Da said: "Is it because it found that Uncle is eating, so he is greedy?"

The local chopped cakes and sour soup are famous, and vendors carry burdens of dry cakes wrapped in quilts in the front and oily, sour soup in the back buckets.

Whoever wants to eat shouts, the vendor takes the bowl and chopsticks, directly scoops a bowl of sour soup and hands a pair of chopsticks, and then squats on the side of the road to eat and drink.

This kind of eating is very wild, Xu Da grabbed a stack of cakes and ate and drank.

The local chop cake is made of fermented dough baked in a large iron pan, it is very successful in fermentation, after baking, the texture is soft, the outside is hard and the inside is crispy, and then chopped into pieces with a knife to eat.

This cake is also delicious without dish, soft and delicious, and the wheat fragrance is rich.

However, the most suitable is to match the sour soup, the sour soup is a pork bone soup, the entrance is soft and tender, drink a mouthful full of pantothenic fragrance, the appetite will be opened immediately, and it is most suitable for breakfast.

Wang Qilin originally only wanted to eat two bites of bread, but the sour taste rushed to his nose, and he couldn't help it: "Forget it, let's bring a bowl to the master." ”

He looked at Hachimeow with the bowl, and Hachimeow jumped up and climbed a tree.

But he didn't go to catch Eight Meow, but reached out and grabbed Jiuliu next to him, and said, "Come, Six is the most well-behaved, use it as a stool for Dad." ”

Jiuliu didn't prevent it, it thought that Wang Qilin was going to toss eight meows, but people didn't take the usual path, and they came to the east and west.

However, Wang Qilin loved it very much, and first fed it some chopped cakes to make it happy.

Seeing this, the peddler was very distressed, and said: "Alas, I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person." ”

Wang Qilin laughed.

The softness of the chopped cake makes it very easy to absorb the flavor, and when you eat it, you can eat it immediately by soaking the cake inside, and the light dough can quickly absorb the thick soup, and it tastes soft, sour and fragrant in one bite.

After a bowl of sour soup, Wang Qilin's appetite came.

Mao Yiqi was waiting for them, but when the day dawned, the people had not returned to the post house, so he worriedly came out to look for them, and found a few people who were eating on the street.

He hurriedly came up and confessed: "Lord Wang, you have not been well entertained, and you have let the adults eat the rough grain of the Riba people. ”

Wang Qilin glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about, this grain is not rough at all, it is delicious, and your Lord Wang and Lord Xu are from Xialiba." ”

Just as this family finished eating, he patted his ass and left.

After walking away, I vaguely heard the whisper of the vendor behind me: "Zhumen wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road!"
