After the young man's smashed soul dispersed, the black clouds that enveloped the sky over Qingyao County gradually began to dissipate.

Ma Chengxin, who was unfettered and regained his freedom, shook his head with Senior Sister Qian, never thinking of meeting a master who did not show his face.

The kind-eyed old man sighed and said if he wanted to talk to the people in the county, let them come and see the benefactor who saved Qingyao County, Dong Nanyan and the others hurriedly waved their hands, saying that they didn't need to bother much, and they didn't want to do anything.

Qiao Zhuangyuan didn't know what to do, and kept thanking Dong Nanyan and them.

Although something happened in Qingyao County, Dong Nanyan and his party planned to stay in Qingyao County for two more days, one was to see if there was anything to do, and then Ma said from the bottom of his heart, it was difficult to come out of it, so he would go back after a while to see the mountains and rivers of Qingyao County, there was no harm.

Moreover, Cao Wan'er and the others in this group should be resting for a few days before returning to Linjiang Palace.

After the suppression of the black clouds dissipated, every household in Qingyao County finally dared to open the doors and windows, after learning that it was Liu Junshou who colluded with demons and ghosts, the whole county was angry, and the crowd surrounded the county guard's mansion, and the crowd was crowded, wanting to peel the skin and bones of Liu Junshou, who bit his tongue and committed suicide, in order to vent his anger.

The old man with kind eyebrows stood in front of the two tall stone lions, comforting the people, there is no way, at this moment, which person is in charge of Qingyao County, and the local people do not listen or believe it, if there is a person in charge who dares to say a few more words, I am afraid that he will be drowned by spitting.

The county guards in the county are colluding with demons and ghosts to be the masterminds of the county town, how can anyone trust the stewards of these county guards now?

Although the kind-hearted old man Wu is a respected old immortal in this county town, and it is also the reason why he informed the people of the county town about this, but at this moment, the people are angry, and the old man is a little stretched.

On a street in front of the county guard's mansion, looking at the crowd surrounding the county guard's mansion like an iron bucket, Senior Sister Qian sighed, "Take the blame." ”

Ma Cheng glanced at the young man next to him, teased Cao Wan'er and said, "What, our little chivalrous girl in Linjiang Palace doesn't plan to take action and help the anxious old man Wu relieve the siege?"

Cao Wan'er has a big head, walks the rivers and lakes, has clear grievances, pays attention to a quick knife to cut through the mess, and acts cleanly and neatly.

Ma smiled heartily and asked the young man beside him who had been watching the crowd in the county guard's mansion, "What's the matter, Xiaoyou has the heart to solve the siege?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't want to." ”

Ma was a little surprised, "Oh, why is this?

The young man was a little depressed, and whispered: "How can I help? If the needle is not pricked in my body, I can't feel the pain, how can I feel so much empathy." ”

The old man was dumbfounded, just this sentence, the truth of the world is exhausted.

Senior Sister Qian looked down at the young man and sighed in a trance.

Cao Wan'er wanted to comfort the young man, but was quietly pulled by Senior Sister Qian beside her.

In the end, no one expected that the turmoil in the county guard mansion was resolved by a scholar who was covered in water vapor, and the man who was miserable by the county guard mansion pushed aside the dense crowd step by step, walked to Wu Lao's side, and faced the sea of people.

The crowd was silent for a while, and everyone knew that this was the fierce ghost who was considered by the whole county to be an evil county some time ago, and now after knowing the truth, he found out that the water ghost scholar in front of him was also a miserable and miserable poor man.

When the crowd quieted down, the steamy scholar spoke softly, "Death is dead, what else is there to make noise, think about it, if there is a reason, your relatives are also dead because of my innocence, if you want to be angry, just come to me." ”

The scholar knelt down in front of the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I am ashamed to have killed the people in vain. ”

Wu Lao had mixed feelings for a while, shook his head, and knelt down with the scholar, "I'm confused, I can't tell if it's a person or a ghost." ”

The entire Qingyao County, big and small officials, all knelt in front of the county guard's mansion.

The crowd was silent.

Who is to blame? The old man who knelt down with kind eyes was an old god born and raised in this county, who helped the people and took care of the township on weekdays.

Who do you hate? Hate that steamy water ghost scholar?

It's just another poor person who is in sympathy with the same disease.

Qingyao County, although most of the officials did not benefit the township, but they have never heard of anyone who preys on the people. It's all their duty, busy with their own errands.

An old man on crutches shook his head and sighed, "That's it, don't kneel, you won't come back." ”

The old man bent down at the person kneeling in front of the county guard's house, and choked up: "If you don't peel your skin and cramp, you can't come back, you can't come back, but don't let him be buried in Qingyao County, and pollute the water and soil of my Qingyao County." ”

After the old man straightened up, he turned around and waved his hand, and the crowd began to leave, his eyes blurred with tears.

————

"One, two, three, four...", while walking up the mountain, the man in white robe counted the steps like when he was a child, but compared with when he was a child, his steps were a little heavy at the moment.

When I was a child, when the master led a few children up the mountain, there was always one child who was too lazy to leave and wanted the master to carry it up the mountain.

The man walked up against the wind and snow, and he came back late this time, and he didn't know if he could see the child again, as if he hadn't seen him for more than 20 years.

Nine hundred and ninety-six.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and you will reach the top of the mountain.

Standing on the nine hundred and ninety-six steps, the man stopped moving.

Above, there was an old man in a white robe with white hair, sitting on the 999th floor, stepping on the 997th step.

This mountain was originally neatly lined with a thousand steps, but the child who was too lazy to walk up the mountain would come to grind the steps if he had nothing to do, and it took several years to grind him down.

However, after a few years, the child can no longer walk up the mountain, so the remaining steps can be preserved.

The man's face was full of regret, was he a step too late!

As if he was afraid of the wind and snow here, the white-haired man who was already in the wind and snow like the old man spoke softly: "Is there any salvation?"

The white-robed old man who had just thrown out three rounds of the Great Day not long ago exhaled.

"Difficult. ”

A cold light bloomed in his eyes as if he had been sprinkled into the starlight, and the man asked softly, "Who is it?"

The old man sneered, "What's the matter, Jin Gui's body bones want to move?"

Pointing to the top of his head, the old man smiled: "Go to Qingtianguan, out of the dust mountain, when you are a guest in the Heavenly Palace, you must have a polite number, as for the Boundless Palace, you must be polite, lower your posture, remember not to lose the courtesy, now the outside is saying that our mountains are all rebellious people, if you are ostentatious under the banner of the sacred mountain, it is really embarrassing." ”

After hearing this, the man did not say a word, and turned straight and walked down the mountain.

In the wind and snow, the old man put away his smile, "It doesn't matter if you are ashamed of Shenshan or not, don't embarrass me!"

The man who had stepped down the hill nodded lightly and turned around.

"Don't worry, I promise that the mothers who beat them won't recognize them!"
