From Yishui to Tai'an, even the peaks are meandering, the screen is endless, Su Yang walks slowly in this mountain, the road is mostly on the ridge, there are mountain paths occasionally, it is also extremely precipitous, both sides are all even the peaks and walls, steep and precipitous, the twists and turns are different, look up under the mountain cliff, you can see the sky misty.

Liu Xiucai was anxious to go to Tai'an to watch the temple built by Emperor Dongyue, so as to polish his manuscript, and Su Yang knew that the land of Tai'an was bound to hide the dragon and crouching tiger now, and all parties must have a foothold here, so he was not in a hurry, his steps seemed to be slow and fast, and he shuttled freely between the mountains, all the way to the northwest.

Before arriving in Tai'an, Su Yang wanted to go to another place.

Walking out of the ridge and wading through the thorns, Su Yang walked to the top of the official road.

This place is far from Yishui, and it is very close to Tai'an, and Su Yang walked lightly, heading towards the road outside Tai'an.

The official road is barren on both sides, the sky is uncertain, the wind is endless, as far as the eye can see, there is no life around, there are two pedestrians on the official road, a man and a woman, like a couple, Su Yang's eyes just looked at them too much, these two people hurriedly wrapped their parcels, and accelerated and staggered with Su Yang.

“......”

Su Yang turned his head and looked at the two people who were suitable, only to see that the two of them were in a hurry, and they would not look back, and when they saw Su Yang looking over, the two of them were about to leave quickly.

Now Su Yang already has immortal cultivation, even if it is to maintain the sense of mortals, but after Su Yang's cultivation is profound, his affinity for everything is getting stronger and stronger, ordinary people see Su Yang, that is, a handsome and very friendly person, even at a glance, he can be labeled as a good person in his heart, and naturally has a sense of closeness, but such Su Yang was avoided by two pedestrians.

It's not that Su Yang's mana is not enough, or that these two people are different, it's purely because the people here naturally don't trust the people they meet on the road.

They don't feel safe.

"Blablah, blah......, blah,

The cloudy sky suddenly began to rain, such a heavy rain made Su Yang, who was walking on the road, drenched, and Su Yang looked at the young couple, who were hiding under the tree far away.

It's a commotion on the East China Sea.

Su Yang knew in his heart that the weather changes here in Shandong were completely caused by the confrontation between Chiyou and Guan Sheng in the East China Sea, and now that it was raining rainably, there were changes over there.

"Alas......"

Su Yang sighed, stretched out his hand to draw a talisman, and then waved his hand and hung it on the body of the young couple, protecting the little couple from suffering in this rainstorm.

Opening the paper umbrella, Su Yang walked in the rain, the soil under his feet was soft and rotten, and the wind on his face was like a knife, which made Su Yang chill to the bones, and walked on this muddy road with an umbrella, Su Yang also saw some people hiding from the rain under the trees and stones, after these people saw Su Yang, they turned their backs one after another, not facing Su Yang, or just holding the package tightly in their arms, looking at Su Yang vigilantly.

"The road of life, the dream is like a smooth road, and the wind and frost on the road are dry......"

Su Yang hummed two sentences, and then shook his head, what he saw recently was a scene of everything flourishing and thriving, but when he came here, he encountered such a withering environment, so Su Yang couldn't help humming these two sentences, and sighed: "The people are still suffering." ”

In the capital, Su Yang issued a decree, all of which are going to a good place, but it takes time from top to bottom, and among the officials who implement it, there are also a small number of people who light the yang fire, fan the yin wind, distort a good decree, change the law to toss the people, and grab benefits.

"Huhuhuhuhu......"

A cold wind blew suddenly, the paper umbrella in Su Yang's hand rattled, and even the heavy rain outside the paper umbrella blew on Su Yang's body.

After walking for a stick of incense, Su Yang saw a broken temple, and there were some fireworks in the broken temple, and a few people were in front of the broken temple, watching the torrential rain.

"Housheng, it's raining so hard, what are you still rushing to?"

An old man at the door saw Su Yang and shouted loudly: "Come here, take shelter from us!"

Su Yang raised his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, walked towards the broken temple, and when he arrived at the gate of the temple, Su Yang took the paper umbrella and looked at his body, from his chest down, all of them were wet, but the top was tightly protected by the umbrella and was not wet by the rain.

"How did you get people in......"

"I see this young man as a good person. ”

"Don't look at his face, look at his clothes, he is obviously a rich man, aren't you afraid that he will report the news in the past?"

"It doesn't matter, it's raining like this, they can't chase us on horseback. ”

A middle-aged man and the woman next to him whispered, and the people next to them also heard these words, and nodded their heads one after another, feeling reasonable.

"Then you're not afraid that he's a ghost?"

Another said.

After saying this, there was a sudden silence over there, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all looked at Su Yang.

"I have a shadow. ”

Su Yang pointed to the shadow behind him and said to everyone present.

This small temple is simple, there is a wooden statue of the Buddha enshrined on it, only a door in front, a straw roof, there are several grass nests under the four sides, it is obvious that these people sleep at night, there is this fire in the center of the Buddha statue, there is not much dry firewood, and it is on the verge of extinguishing.

There are men and women, old and young, a total of eight people in this temple, middle-aged men and women are obviously a couple, followed by a son and a daughter, and an old man, a young man in his teens, and two old women.

"Housheng, roast well in front of the fire, don't get cold, if you get cold, it will be fatal. ”

The old man said to Su Yang.

"I'm very strong and don't get cold easily. ”

Su Yang sat in front of the fire, looked at the people in front of him, most of them were thinly dressed, and beckoned: "You all come here quickly, if you get cold, you will really die." ”

In this season when the cold is not gone, after the poor people are cold, they are likely to be gone.

When these people heard Su Yang's words, they all leaned towards the fire, feeling a trace of warmth in front of the fire.

"Housheng, where are you going?"

The old man asked Su Yangdao.

Su Yang looked at the old man's age, in his sixties, dry and thin, but his eyes were quite energetic, and his eyebrows were full of kindness, so he smiled and said, "I'm going to go to the deserted grave in front of me to have a look." ”

Deserted Grave ......

Hearing Su Yang say these two words, the old man's expression darkened, and even a few people around him changed color, and then they each looked sad.

"You also have relatives buried there?"

The old man asked Su Yangdao.

"Nope. ”

Su Yang shook his head and said, "It's just that I heard that the Qi thieves are very evil, so I went to take a look." ”

This desolate grave refers to not a grave, but a bunch of graves, and this desolate grave still has a history, when the king of Qi entered the general, there was a murderous general called Zhang Yuanyi, that is, the one who was holding the people's grievance knife and wanted to behead Su Yang, he once slaughtered the people in Qixia and Laiyang, so that the people there were white bones and blood all over the ground, and when the corpses were collected, the grass and trees in the two places were empty, and the people at that time were all buried in this "deserted grave".

In Liaozhai, this place is also a special book, Pu Songling originally recorded that this is the place where the peasants were killed and buried together after the Seven Uprisings, and the world where Su Yang is located, there is no Qing Dynasty, that is, after the King of Qi entered the customs, Zhang Yuanyi was killed here to quell the rebellion.

There is a famous ghost town here, called Laixiali, and there is also a complaining female ghost here, called Gongsun Jiuniang.

Su Yang wanted to come here, just to see if a ghost town like Laixiali had been to the King of Jizo Bodhisattva.

When the old man heard this, he nodded heavily and said, "This is a fortunate thing, where is it like me......"

The people next to them also looked sad, and their relatives and friends were more or less trapped at that time.

"Qi thieves are indeed hateful!"

The old man said, then looked at Su Yang again, and said: "Housheng, you are only one person, if you are joining in the fun, don't go over there again, it is not peaceful over there." ”

"Oh?"

Su Yang looked at the old man and asked, "Where is it not peaceful?"

"It's not peaceful. ”

The old man sighed when he heard this, and said: "The landlords over there suddenly began to increase the rent, and they directly wanted to take away all our grain, and many people were over there to live by robbing the road, and people like you, who went over there alone, eighty percent were going to be robbed by them, and there have been many strange things over there recently, and the sky is blue, and you can see ghosts on the road......"

"We couldn't live there anymore, so we escaped overnight. ”

If it weren't for the lack of choice, no one would want to leave their homeland.

When Su Yang heard this, he sighed in his heart, the landlords here suddenly began to raise the rent collectively, presumably knowing that there would be no seats for them in the future, so they began to abuse their rights frantically, and the reason why these people ran out overnight was to escape from the landlords.

In later generations, when moving, there were still rules for moving overnight, and there were also some shadows in ancient times when tenants could not live and fled overnight.

"It is precisely because you want to hide from the landlord that you see that I am better dressed, so I am the landlord's person. ”

Su Yang knew the reason for these people's attitude towards him, and said with emotion.

It is precisely because of his clothes that the people here avoid him.

"I would like to ask, where are you going to flee to settle down when you leave here?"

Su Yang asked, he wanted to know if these ordinary people had any plans.

These people glanced at each other, and after talking to Su Yang at this time, they already felt Su Yang's affinity, so after asking each other's opinions, they said to Su Yang: "We are going to Tai'an, Tai'an is under the control of a Qing official, and those landlords are not afraid if they can't run away." ”

The quality of being an official is that the common people also have a scale in their hearts.

"Tai'an is good. ”

Su Yang nodded and said, "I didn't go far, when the corrupt officials and landlords died, you could come back quickly." ”

Some people sleep in the open air, ask for food and walk, and it is hundreds of miles away from them, and it is difficult to go home again in their lifetime, and now, after Su Yang goes to set things right, they can still come back quickly, and when the time comes, they will get the fields without delaying spring ploughing.

"I'm afraid that if we all die, no one will die. ”

When the old man heard this, he sighed deeply, and he had no hope at all about this matter.

Su Yang just smiled.

The fire in this ruined temple is getting smaller and smaller at this time, the dry wood on the top has been burned out, and there is not much charcoal fire below.

"It's raining so hard outside, let's go there to find firewood. ”

The middle-aged couple looked at the rain curtain outside, and said worriedly, they are all thinly dressed, if they can't find firewood, let it rain outside, the cold is pressing, but I am afraid that the body of the old man here will not be able to bear it.

"Isn't there firewood here?"

Su Yang stood up, moved down the statue of the Buddha, stretched out his hand and broke off the two hands of the Buddha statue and threw it into the fire.

"This ...... You...... You're blasphemy!"

The old man shouted in a panic when he saw Su Yang doing such a rebellious thing, and the people next to him also retreated to the surroundings when they saw this, not daring to bear such firepower, feeling a little warmth here is a heinous sin for them.

"Huh. ”

Su Yang shook his head, looked at them and said with a smile: "I just burned a bunch of wood, why are you afraid of being like this?"

"This is a statue of the Buddha!"

The middle-aged woman shouted loudly: "When I arrived in the temple, I was already guilty, why did you let me bear such a sin?"

Su Yang's behavior can be regarded as a Buddha's blood.

"Don't say it's wood, but if it's really like this, then what?"

Su Yang looked at them and said, "If the Buddha once cut meat and fed the eagle, and now he sacrifices a wooden body for you to bless your peace, isn't that also the Buddha's compassion? If the Buddha condemns you because of this, then he is not the Buddha, and if the Buddha condemns me because of this, then he is not the Buddha." ”

If the Buddha has been free from troubles, not indulging, not carrying, always on the other side of the future, and there will be no troubles, Su Yang burned him a wooden body, naturally it will not affect him, and with this to explain the truth to them, it is still a merit.

"Come on, sit down. ”

Su Yang shouted at them.

These people looked at each other, and finally gathered in front of the stove, looking at the statue of Rulai God burning in front of them, it was as if a piece was missing in their hearts, something was burned by Su Yang.

"Is the fire from the statue of the god prosperous?"

Su Yang asked them.

The statues all have a layer of paint on them, and the fire is naturally very strong when they burn, and they all feel warm.

"Those who come to collect your rent are just like these idols, and you are just afraid to get used to them. ”

Su Yang said: "If you unite and dare to take action, it is those who have left your hometown now who make you unable to live." ”
