Under the doorway of the West City Gate of Weinan County, there were twenty or thirty people gathered, who looked like a group, but their clothes were very different. Some are like scholars, some are like farmers, and some are simply like bandits.

"I haven't seen him for a few days, and Lord Lang is getting more and more energetic. When a scholar-like person saw Li Qiang, he stepped forward and waved his hand to salute.

The weather is already late autumn, and the scholar is still holding a folding fan in his hand, but the calluses at the tiger's mouth do not match his scholar's outfit at all.

"Are you ......" Li Qiang hesitated, not recognizing who the person in front of him was.

The scholar didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lord Lang is really forgetful, I only saw it outside the city a few days ago." ”

A few days ago, outside the city?

Li Qiang recalled that a few days ago, outside Weinan County, he only encountered a group of bandits.

Looking at the scholar's face and the calluses on his hands, is it ......

Li Qiang suddenly realized and recognized the scholar: "You are the axe...... , Jade-faced Wyvern!"

The scholar said: "The jade-faced flying dragon is just a nickname, thanks to the grace of the adults, and now it is no longer needed." The villain's surname is Sun, and his name is Sun Wukong. ”

Grandchild...... Goku?

Hearing the name, Li Qiang asked in surprise: "Your name is Sun Wukong, didn't you learn the scriptures?"

The scholar was stunned: "Learn the scriptures? The little name is the grandson who is full of descendants, the five of one, two, three, four, five, the sky is empty, and the family has been farming for generations, and has never taken any scriptures." ”

It turned out to be just a duplicate name.

Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. Just now he was still wondering, Tang Seng has been on his way for a while, Sun Wukong should have been released from the Five Elements Mountain, and now on the way to learn the scriptures, how could he be in Weinan County.

Think about it, if he is the real Monkey King, how could he fail when he robbed himself outside Weinan County before?

The scholar in front of him was the jade-faced flying dragon who robbed him of the leader of the axe gang when Li Qiang came to Weinan County before.

After inquiring about the situation in Weinan County from Yumian Feilong and others that day, Li Qiang gave them some silver and told them to fend for themselves and stop being bandits. Unexpectedly, the jade-faced flying dragon came to Weinan County today.

Qi Xu secretly whispered: "I didn't expect that we were robbed by Sun Wukong before." ”

Zhou Fa also replied softly: "Haha, I also won Sun Wukong that day!"

......

A few people whispered, talking and laughing at the name of the scholar, but no one pointed out that the scholar in front of him was a thief who robbed the house before.

Sun Wukong used to be from Weinan, and this time he came back presumably to make a living in the city, and everyone tacitly supported it with actions.

Seeing that Sun Wukong really abandoned the bandit's livelihood and returned to the county seat, Li Qiangxin comforted: "I don't know what Brother Wukong is going to do when he returns to the city this time?"

Sun Wukong didn't answer Li Qiang's question, and asked: "Yesterday during the Double Ninth Festival, I saw a team of soldiers and horses entering Weinan City, presumably the adults have captured the county order and subdued the river demon, right?"

When Zhou Fa heard this, he suddenly said angrily: "You know it's a river demon, why did you tell us that it was a river god that day!"

When Li Qiang and others were interrogating Sun Wukong and the Axe Gang outside the city before, everyone said that it was the river god in the river. Now Sun Wukong said that the river demon in the river is the one in the river.

Since you know it's a river demon, why didn't you say it earlier!

Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "In this Weinan County for decades, everyone has said that the river god is the river, before he was surrendered by the adults, how dare I say that he is a demon?"

Sun Wukong has his truth, and there is no way for everyone to refute it.

Li Qiang said truthfully: "At the river sacrifice ceremony yesterday, Weinan County ordered suicide, and the river demon ran into the river and has not yet been surrendered. ”

"The river demon hasn't been surrendered yet?" Sun Wukong's face showed some panic: "That...... I'm afraid that the people will still suffer from the river demons. ”

I'm afraid the people will have to suffer from this river demon.

Sun Wukong's words made Li Qiang speechless, Li Qiang was ordered by the emperor to visit Weinan County, and it was within his duty to destroy the river demon. He may not be able to defeat the river demon, but the frequent situations in the past few days have made him retreat a little.

In the past few days, the actions of Father Wu, Fan County Order, and the people of Weinan have made Li Qiang's teeth cold. Every time I think about it, I feel a chill in my back. If you risk your life in the river and save only this kind of person, will it be a little unworthy?

But yesterday's Zhang Lao Wu's actions gave him some hope.

At least Li Qiang's kindness, Zhang Lao Wu is appreciative. Yesterday, with Zhang Lao Wu, the dozen or so big men who spoke for themselves also appreciated it.

There is only one life for yourself. But the lives of 20,000 people in Weinan County are also lives.

Li Qiang couldn't help but think of the figure of the master drinking and chanting poetry.

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. ”

If Master were in his own position, what would he choose......

After the Axe Gang was broken up by Li Qiang and them a few days ago, most of the gang members returned to the cottage one after another. After all, they have nowhere else to go except for cottages.

Sun Wukong distributed the silver given to him by Li Qiang to the brothers, disbanded the cottage, and let the gang find a way out, just don't be a thief anymore. At this time, the twenty or thirty people who followed him were the ones who originally lived in Weinan County and wanted to return to the city to make a living.

The silver given by Li Qiang can also give them a full meal for a month or two, which is enough time to go to the city to find a living. A big man has hands and feet, and he works hard to make money, so he may not be worse than a thief who licks blood from the knife's edge!

Even if you become a tenant, plant a field for a few years, and save some belongings, you may still be able to say that you will have a daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat boy in the future!

After a few more pleasantries, Li Qiang asked the soldiers defending the city to let Sun Wukong and others into the city, Sun Wukong and others thanked Li Qiang, and then dispersed.

"You go back to the county government first, and I'll go up and have a look." ”

Waiting for Sun Wukong to disappear on the street corner, Li Qiang left a sentence and quietly followed.

The ability to turn qi into a person is very simple for monks who enter the Taiqing Realm, but it is just a distance.

Li Qiang's current cultivation is the sixth realm in the Taiqing realm, the top grade of the earth immortals, and he is only a line away from the immortal realm of the fifth realm.

Although it is said that the vast majority of monks in the same realm will be unable to advance an inch in their lives, and they will not be able to attain immortality. But even so, people who have the cultivation of the Earth Immortal Realm are rare.

Li Qiang came out of his body with a wisp of true qi, and quickly locked Sun Wukong, who had just left, and quietly followed.

There has been little change in Weinan County over the years, after walking a few hundred meters and passing a street or two, Sun Wukong stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard that had not been inhabited for a long time.

The courtyard door had decayed, and when Sun Wukong pushed it open, half of the door made a strange "squeak" sound.

The house was small and empty except for a table and a few stools. I don't know if it was after the owner left, someone took away all the belongings, or if there were only these few belongings in the first place.

There were two spirit tablets poured on the table, and the room was covered with dust.

Sun Wukong took water from the well in the small courtyard, took off his robe, and put it on his shoulder. Then I tore a piece of the sleeve of the inner lining and used it as a rag.

The breeze brought the coolness of late autumn and couldn't help but make him shiver.

Dip the rag in water, wring it out, wipe a corner of the table first, fold the robe on your shoulders and put it in a clean place. Then he began to wipe down the few remaining objects in the house.

There weren't many things, and they were wiped off in a while. Sun Wukong changed his robe again, waved his hand, bowed, and bowed to the spirit card that had been straightened: "Dad, mother, my son is back." ”

In the empty house, Sun Wukong said a lot to his parents' spiritual position.

From the original experience in Weinan County, to the days when he was a bandit, and then to his future plans.

"My son is no longer a bandit.

My son would do some chores in the county and read some books.

Next year, the court will have an autumn festival, and my son wants to try again.

If you pass the test, you will go to Chang'an City to fight for fame.

If you can't get by, find a shop to be a partner, or be a tenant for the landlord, and you can also eat enough. ”

After that, Sun Wukong bowed his head and bowed three more times.

Li Qiang was outside the door, listening to Sun Wukong's words word for word. He took out a piece of silver from his bosom, sent it to the corner of the room with his true qi, and then turned to leave.

Li Qiang made up his mind, he seemed to know what he needed to do.
