Tianping is in the northeast of Sichuan and Shu, and the caravan followed by the Chu Sleeve family from southern Xinjiang will naturally not cross Tianping, and now Yang Xiaoyang and the three of them set off from Zhongnan, if they don't want to detour, they can only take the ancient road of Tianping.

Yang Xiaoyang told Li Congwen's old servant Chen Shouyi about his concerns, Chen Shou's white eyebrows raised, and he said with a smile that he knew how to go, and he had been there before.

Yang Xiaoyang felt that although Chen Shou bent his back when he said this, he still had an indescribable pride, which Li Congwen, the eldest son, never had.

Yang Xiaoyang is not a person who likes to use his brain, and Li Congwen also trusts Lao Chen very much, so the two of them drove the horse by Chen Shou and chatted in the carriage by themselves.

"Congwen, how many taels of silver did you bring with you when you went out this time?" Yang Xiaoyang didn't have much silver left, hoping that Li Congwen would bring enough silver for the three of them to go out into the rivers and lakes.

"A hundred taels of silver. ”

Yang Xiaoyang pursed his lips, feeling that the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not grand enough to go out without bringing a few thousand copper coins, and it was best to put it in the carriage and pull it away.

"And how much do you have left?"

"More than one or two. Li Congwen squinted and dozed softly.

Yang Xiaoyang's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "You used ninety-nine taels of silver along the way, how did you spend it?"

Li Congwen plucked out his ears with some dissatisfaction, opened half his eyes and said to Yang Xiaoyang: "It's just eating, drinking, and having fun all the way, and it will be spent in two months, and it is still left over after selling the two horses of me and Lao Chen." ”

The imperial capital is less than a thousand miles away from Zhongnan, and ordinary people can get there in less than a month, and it took them more than twice as long, and it seems that the road is indispensable.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't care how Li Congwen was a loser, after all, he wasn't much better before, but he cared about the next few days.

"How many taels did you sell your horse?"

"Two horses were sold for six times. ”

"Your two horses are ponies?"

Li Congwen was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and shouted: "That's the war horse that General Yang gave me!

Yang Xiaoyang pointed at Li Congwen and couldn't speak, the war horse worth 100 yuan was sold like this, what is the difference between it and giving it away for nothing.

Who knew that Li Congwen was interested in this, and then said: "Xiaoyang, you said that it was a coincidence, I sold horses on the way to Nanshui Town, but today I saw them again in Nanshui Town." It's a lot of fate!"

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Li Congwen with a smug face, didn't know where to be proud, and asked, "Then how are they now?"

Li Congwen was even more proud of this question, patted Yang Xiaoyang's thigh, and said loudly: "Isn't it one of the horses you bought just now!"

Yang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes and almost fainted. After straightening out his breath, he pointed to Li Congwen, who was humming a small song, and couldn't speak, feeling a little regretful and following him down the mountain.

Thinking of the fat horse merchant again, Buyou sighed.

The chariot drawn by the war horse was naturally extremely fast, and it took more than an hour to reach a small town on the edge of Nanshui Town, Heshan Town.

The autumn noon sun was still scorching, and it was a little stuffy to stay in the carriage, so Yang Xiaoyang accepted Li Congwen's proposal and went into an inn to rest for a while.

Only rich and noble families in Mingwu only eat three meals a day, so there are very few people who eat at noon in Heshan Town, and most of them drink tea.

Lao Chen asked Xiao Er to lead the carriage to the stable, and the two went through the door first and found a remote place to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, he ran to Xiao Er, and before Xiao Er could speak, Li Congwen slapped the only one or two pieces of silver on the table, but said softly: "Bring all the good wine and food." ”

Xiao Er is an honest man, he doesn't know that he doesn't need to find the one or two pieces of silver, so he handed over a string of money in Li Congwen's strange gaze, and he carefully strung it with a red rope.

Yang Xiaoyang had to sigh that most of the people under Zhongnan Mountain were kind-hearted and good people, and as for the unscrupulous horse merchants that Li Congwen encountered, Yang Xiaoyang blamed Li Congwen.

Yang Xiaoyang put the string of money into his arms, and kept it for Li Congwen, and the provincial prince Li was reduced to the streets and couldn't afford to eat in the future.

Li Congwen didn't even look at the string of money, ate the big meal with his head bored, and drank a bowl of wine in one gulp with a seemingly arrogant attitude.

Yang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes and poured himself a bowl of tea, he had seen Uncle Xu drink wine at Uncle Xu's house before, and he drank it all against the jar, and he looked down on Li Congwen's drinking method.

In fact, I was also curious about what the wine tasted like at the time, and then I took a sip and fell unconscious, and I haven't drunk it since.

The movement of Lao Chen sitting down broke Yang Xiaoyang's memories, but he saw Li Congwen calling Xiao Er over again.

"Little Er, let me ask you something. ”

"Guest, please. ”

"What kind of Jianghu sects are there near this Heshan Town?"

"This used to happen, but after the court issued a chivalrous order, all the small sects in our neighborhood left, scattered, and most of them went to work for the lords of the court. The nearest sect is dozens of miles away, and the small ones are not clear. ”

Li Congwen sighed and waved his hand to let Xiao Er continue to work. Yang Xiaoyang didn't know what the chivalrous order was, and asked Li Congwen suspiciously.

"The chivalrous order was issued by Uncle Yang three years ago, saying that he wanted to recruit the forces of the rivers and lakes for the use of the imperial court, and he did recruit many masters for the imperial court. ”

"But forced?"

"At the beginning, I was opposed by many big sects, and after being led by Uncle Yang to level a few families, I became honest. In fact, it is a matter of your affection and my wishes, those sects can't keep people, they will go against the court, and no one can be blamed if they are destroyed. ”

Li Congwen picked up the bowl and drank it all, Yang Xiaoyang silently took a sip of tea, and Lao Chen knocked peanuts with his sallow teeth.

The three of them were silent for a while, Yang Xiaoyang asked Xiao Er for oil paper, wrapped the leftovers on the table, and said to the two before going out: "I have something to go out, you don't have to come with me." ”

Li Congwen and Lao Chen were left looking at each other, but the two didn't follow to see what was going on.

Yang Xiaoyang ran all the way out of the town and found a flat stone deep in a forest and sat down. opened the box and saw that Xiao Di was still sleeping, so he gently pinched her nose.

Xiao Di woke up, muttered a spell in her mouth and flew up, her copper basin was later improved by the ancestor, and she could fly without rune paper.

Yang Xiaoyang saw that Xiao Di was flying happily, and couldn't bear to interrupt, so he opened the oil paper bag when Xiao Di had enough, and took out a spoon from the box to feed Xiao Di.

In fact, the patriarch said that Xiao Di didn't need to eat, but he was too obsessed with it. Yang Xiaoyang didn't care whether Xiao Di needed it or not, he just wanted it, and he fed it.

The two chatted while eating, and it took a long time to finish eating. Yang Xiaoyang cleaned up the residue and let Xiao Di lie down in the wooden box with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xiao Di is sleeping longer and longer, and there is only one year left before the three-year period.

Although he is only one step away from the human immortals, he doesn't know when he will be able to break through, and he thought that the ancestor said that it was not difficult for him to break through the human immortals, so he put a little bit of heart.

Back at the inn, Li Congwen proposed to go all the way west first and take a look at Guanzhong, but Yang Xiaoyang had no opinion.

The carriage left Heshan Town and walked on the sheep intestine path, and it was not until the sun set that he saw a small village.

The wheat outside the village was golden and dazzling.

It may be because the village is relatively remote, outsiders are relatively rare, and Yang Xiaoyang saw many children in the village looking secretly against the wall, looking very curious about the carriage.

The carriage stopped at the head of the village, and Yang Xiaoyang saluted an old man sitting on a stone at the head of the village, and asked, "Old man, the three of us came from Heshan Town, and we came here for four hours.

The old man returned the salute with a smile on his face, "The old man's name is Wang Ren, and he is the village chief of this Wangjia Village, and there happens to be a vacant house in the village, so the three of you come with me." The old man didn't speak very strongly, and the spots on his face looked even older with his loose skin.

Yang Xiaoyang and Li Congwen followed the village chief into the village, and the three of them chatted while walking, while Lao Chen caught the car behind.

"Our village is relatively remote, we don't see outsiders on weekdays, and I don't want to welcome four distinguished guests in two days, the old man is so happy. I don't know the name of your guest?"

"The poor Taoist name is Yang Xiaoyang, and he once cultivated in a grass building in the south of the country. As soon as Yang Xiaoyang wanted to introduce Li Congwen, Mr. Li couldn't wait to grab the conversation.

"The younger generation's name is Li Congwen, and he was lucky to be born in a rich family. Because of his yearning for the martial arts style in Guanzhong, he specially traveled in Guanzhong with his friends, and Lao Chen in the back was the old man in the house. Dare to ask the village chief, who is the other guest you are talking about?"

"Oh, it was yesterday that a master with the Dharma name Jingyuan came to the village, and now he is spending the night in the village. Coincidentally, the extra vacant houses in the village are together, and a few can be neighbors for a few days. ”

Yang Xiaoyang looked at Li Congwen's face full of excitement, worried that he liked monks, and took a step away.

The group walked from the south side of the village to the west side, where there were a few slightly old wooden houses.

Yang Xiaoyang saw Li Congwen looking left and right, pulled him, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so excited?"

"It's rare to meet a master, if it's a high-ranking monk, he dials me a little bit and I may be invincible in the world!"

Yang Xiaoyang shook his head, not believing that a few words could make an invincible out.

Yang Xiaoyang was fantasizing about the appearance of the monk in his mind, when he saw a bald head coming out of a room, reflecting the light under the sunset.

Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, and saw that it was a young monk with a sad face, wearing a shabby robe, but it was very clean. Although he is a bald head, he has a fight with the handsome Li Dagongzi, and his complexion is whiter and tenderer than many ladies, and he is a fair little monk.

The monk was followed by a dark-skinned child, crying and mourning.

Yang Xiaoyang was a little suspicious of the monk's Taoism, but Li Congwen rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed the monk's hand, and startled the child next to him.

"Dare to ask which temple the master is practicing?" Yang Xiaoyang seemed to see the light in Li Congwen's eyes.

The monk was stunned for a moment, broke away his hands and put his hands together, "Amitayus Buddha, the donor should call the poor monk Master." The poor monk's Dharma name is Jingyuan, and he practices in Jiuhua, and participates in the Heart Sutra of the King of the Earth. ”
