As soon as he arrived at Yuezhou Mansion, he caught up with this big wind and rain, the sky was dark, and there were bursts of thunder, Liu Dianzong didn't have time to appreciate the bustling market of Yuezhou City, so he could only hide in an inn called Yueyanglou in the city to drink and relieve his boredom.

The façade of Yueyanglou Inn is very magnificent, the main building has a total of three floors, the first and second floors are spacious scattered seats, private rooms, the third floor is the guest room, the decoration is magnificent, quite has the leisurely style of the Great Song Dynasty, red lanterns, bead curtains, The screens are quite elegant, the wine seat on the second floor sits in twos and threes and threes are also trapped business travelers, sighing, complaining that God has blocked their trip, depending on the situation, their business is eighty percent yellow, the wind and rain outside the inn seems to be a middle-aged resentful woman, the more cursed the more crazy, the sound of wind and rain does not stop from morning to night, in the rainy sky, the wine curtain under the eaves is trembling like a hanged ghost, and then farther away, five feet away can not be seen.

Liu Dianzong sat alone in a corner, tasting wine and food, secretly thinking about the next step, and when the storm passed, he needed to hire a boat to secretly enter Dongting Lake to check, and yesterday he saw the golden scroll in the room was already a little strange, and those lines were quietly connected, and they became a few seal characters: 戍午 Xin You Xin Chou. If we extrapolate according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the year of Shuwu is exactly this year, and the month of Xinyou is this month, and the day of Xinchou refers to two days later? I hope this damn wind and rain will stop soon.

When Liu Dianzong was drinking on the second floor, three guests came in at the door of the first floor, and the running hall in the store was a thin and tall old Jianghu, when the guests entered the door, his mouth was not idle, and his voice was high and sharp, "Three inside, please!" Such a big wind and rain is still on the road, it seems that the three of them must not be ordinary people, our Yueyang Tower has a long reputation, that is, it can gather immortal energy, whether the three of them want to eat wine to warm up first, or go into the room to wash and rest, we have a good Dongting Lake whitebait feast, as well as home-brewed rice wine and a lake of spring, the taste is not thick, you see?"

The three guests were all wearing straw hats, dripping, came in and took off the straw hats, only to reveal their true faces, Liu Dianzong's seat was close to the staircase, there was just a gap to see downstairs, he was attracted by the loud voice of the running hall, and when he looked at it inadvertently, he recognized that two of them were old acquaintances, Yin Mengfu, Zhao Shishi, and another person dressed as a noble son did not know, looking at him a little fairy, Liu Dianzong hurriedly turned his face away to avoid being seen by them.

The three of them were drenched in the rain, so they had to go into the room to wash and tidy up, and then come to drink to relieve fatigue, and the running hall led the guests upstairs through the stairs, Liu Dianzong had already left the table and stood by the window farthest from the stairs to avoid Yin and Zhao, and sure enough, when the running hall led Yin Mengfu and the other three people to pass by, no one recognized him.

It's too bad, Zhao Shishi is also here, he will definitely meddle in the matter of "Golden Picture Scroll", the last time the Black Lotus Sect happened, he had almost robbed me of my first work, fortunately I sued him in front of the emperor first, and took away his reward, Zhang Ruyi still remembered him, it is really hateful, this time I must not let him succeed, I must find a way to strike first, but why is Yin Mengfu of the Louguan faction with him? He has a helper, if I am afraid that I will not be cheap, how can this be good? Liu Dianzong held on to the railing, pondering and meditating, and suddenly he saw several silk catchers entering the restaurant, and he had an idea, thinking of the emperor's jade pendant and handbook.

The four catchers are frequent visitors here, enter the door to pick up a no-one seat and sit down, pour tea and pour water, as if returning to their own home, the shopkeeper not only does not dare to dislike, but also comes forward to greet him, "Li Tou, Zhang Tou, a few poor masters, such a strong wind and rain today, but also patrol the streets, it is really a blessing for our neighborhood, a few slow sitting, I let the back kitchen cook a few small dishes, reward a few poor masters." “

"You're busy, let's sit for a while and leave, don't bother you. "The catcher called Li Tou has a mustache, not tall, he said to go, but his body sat steadily, and the other catchers were also ruffian, and they were not polite, so they sat down on the seat, waiting for today's overlord meal, the errand of catching fast was the last in the yamen, the rules of the past dynasties were not to be paid, only a meager carriage and horse fee, and the income of the fast catcher all depended on blackmailing the rich businessmen and anyone who asked for them, Liu Dianzong secretly paid attention, and did not wait for Yin Zhao and others to come down, and went downstairs first to settle the meal money, The store money, before leaving, asked the shopkeeper about the details of these quick catches, it turned out that they were the servants of the Yuezhou Mansion, Liu Dianzong wrote it down and left the Yueyanglou Inn, waiting quietly in a street corner.

Four catchers ate a meal of the sea and drank, finally did not brave this wind and rain in vain, do things for the people, the people have to have something to say, before leaving, the shopkeeper also sent two taels of silver per person, and the catcher was satisfied, put on a straw hat and left, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth with hatred, and whispered in the back: "Suffer a thousand knives, I wish you would be killed by lightning when you go out!"

A thunderclap started, unfortunately did not split the oppression of the people's catch, the shopkeeper was startled by the thunder, quickly retreated, the catchers were drunk seven points drunk, staggered to the Yuezhou Mansion, go back to the point after today's errand is explained, each went home to the wife and children hot bedside.

Liu Dianzong quietly followed the catch, braved the wind and rain, crossed a few streets, crossed a few bridges, and came to the gate of the Yuezhou Mansion.

It's a big mansion, even in the wind and rain, the Zhumen and the top of the palace still give people a sense of majestic oppression, not to mention the several tall pavilions behind the high walls, although they are faintly unclear, but they are definitely not built by ordinary rich and noble people, in front of the gate of the mansion, there are two marble lions squatting as usual, with their manes half raised, and their mouths are open, as if they are about to jump out of predation in the next second.

The four catchers quickly went up the steps, and were just about to enter the corner gate of the mansion, when they suddenly found a young man standing in front of him, dressed as a rich man, carrying a long sword, and carrying the city of people in the rivers and lakes between his eyebrows, blocking their way.

Li Tou was the first to attack, pointing at the person who came and scolded: "You young man, are you going the wrong way, what are you doing at the gate of this prefect's yamen in such a heavy rain, go away quickly, see that you are also like a scholar, you should know the laws of the imperial court." The other catchers also shouted, suspecting that Liu Dianzong was in the way.

Liu Dianzong showed a contemptuous smile on his face, and reached out to take out a yellow talisman from his arms, "Don't make any noise, Poor Dao is here to send wealth to you." After that, he threw the yellow talisman and threw it on the forehead of the most powerful shouting head, and the face of that head suddenly turned blue, and the body suddenly stiffened and did not move, bluffing the others half to death, and they had to draw their swords against each other.

"Don't move. The well-informed Li Tou stopped everyone, raised his hand to Liu Dianzong, and said: "I don't know that this master has hidden stunts, and he is offended, and I hope that the master will let my brother go, and I have something to say." “

"It's still what it looks like. Liu Dianzong beckoned, and the yellow talisman flew straight back into his hand, and he resumed his action again, pointing at Liu Dianzong and scolding the demon, and was stopped by others.

The master took a step to speak. Li Tou put Liu Dianzong aside, and made another move, Liu Dianzong said: "Li Tou doesn't have to be polite, I am a Taoist of Youfang, passing by here, there is a set of wealth and wealth to be dedicated to the prefect, annoying. “

Li Tou was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "It's not a joke to want to see the prefect Lord Jiang, you don't know, Lord Jiang hates Buddhism the most in his life, and he loves that very much." Li Tou said as he weighed the silver with his hands, "In case you fail to offer wealth and nobility and annoy him, we will be beaten with sticks." “

"Don't worry about this, you have also seen the means of the poor road, as long as the poor road sees the adult, I have my own way to satisfy him, and after the deed is completed, I will reward you with ten taels of gold. “

Liu Dianzong's self-confidence dispelled Li Tou's doubts, he gritted his teeth, the temptation of ten taels of gold was still big enough, "This master, you wait here, I'll go in and say goodbye." Li Tou knocked on the corner door of the mansion and entered, and the other catchers stood opposite Liu Dianzong, baring their teeth and cracking their mouths from time to time, slanting at Liu Dianzong. To read

After about ten minutes, Li Tou came out and beckoned to Liu Dianzong: "Lord Jiang is in a good mood today, come in, master, go back, there is no errand today." Liu Dianzong followed Li Tou into the mansion, and the others left the mansion quickly.

Entered the mansion, passed through several gates, passed by the lobby, the second hall, Gongfu, and through a large garden, only to come to the side courtyard, in a delicately decorated flower hall, saw Yuezhou prefect Jiang Kun, he has more than sixty years old, although wearing wide civilian clothes, still can not wrap the fat body, he looks mediocre, but has a ingots mouth, at this time sitting on a bamboo rattan chair, next to the low table put a few kinds of fresh fruits, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old maids are waiting for him to eat pomegranates, six soldiers in the flower hall at the critical place guard, Jiang adults eat fruit intervals, heard Li Tou's low voice, raised his eyes to look at Liu Dianzong。

"You are a Taoist priest, what kind of ability do you dare to say that you want to give me a set of wealth?" Lord Jiang's tone was very calm, with the sophistication of being in the officialdom for a long time, "Although the saint believes in Taoism today, this official is a clear stream, and he will never easily make friends with you like this kind of Jianghu and wild way, you have to be careful, this official's punishment is not a joke." ”

Liu Dianzong gave a salute and said with a smile: "The prefect's incorruptible and high-spirited style, the poor road has long been known, dare to ask the lord if you have ever heard of Liu Dianzong, the real person who protects the country of Longhu Mountain, Lingyun Guan, who is sealed by the Holy Lord?"

"What do you say?" Lord Jiang's face changed, and he was a little surprised, and he retreated the maid and the soldiers, leaving only Li Tou in the flower hall.

"Real people don't tell lies, Liu Dianzong is a poor way, I was sent by the Holy Lord's hand, and I came to Yuezhou Mansion to do a business, and I need the help of the prefect. Liu Dianzong took out the holy jade pendant and showed it to Lord Jiang for a look.

Master Jiang looked at the jade pendant, confirmed that it was the thing of the Great Interior, and knelt down with a plop, and the bamboo rattan chair almost overturned, "The subordinates don't know that the real person is here, and they are far away, forgive the sin!" Li Tou was also frightened into a cold sweat, knelt behind him, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Two of you are exempt, hurry up!" Liu Dianzong let out a sneer in his heart, stepped forward and pulled up Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang asked Liu Dianzong to sit down, and asked carefully: "I don't know if the real person is coming, why are you coming?"

Liu Dianzong was just about to speak, when a housekeeper-like person broke into the flower hall and knelt on the ground: "My lord is not good, the donkey house is making trouble with the goblins, Jiang Jin and Jiang Dou have been eaten by goblins!"

"What are you shouting about! I don't know I have a distinguished guest here!" Lord Jiang angrily reprimanded.

"There are really goblins, big snake spirits, and feet, just where the bones are put in the donkey house, my lord!" the housekeeper Jiang Bin's face turned pale, and after screaming twice, he died tragically.

"Liu Zhenren Haihan, something happened in the house, the old man retired and went to deal with it!" Lord Jiang was afraid of offending Liu Dianzong, and Liu Dianzong also wanted to show his hand in front of the prefect and convince them, so he volunteered, "Since there are goblins in the house, the poor road can't sit idly by, go with you to watch." ”

Li Tou led the way, and the three of them led a team of retinues and Wu Ben with instruments in hand, and followed a verandah to the donkey house.

The donkey house is next to a meadow, covered with several green brick houses, a corner of the meadow, stacked with a pile of white bones one person high, it turns out that Jiang Kun is the most fond of eating donkey meat in his life, and his method of eating donkey meat is very special, first dig four deep pits in the ground, bury the donkey's four hooves knee-high, do not move, and then cover the body with a quilt, boil hot soup next to it, pour the boiling soup on the quilt, drench it several times from the top to the buttocks, wait for the donkey meat to be scalded through the quilt, uncover the quilt, use a willow leaf blade, or roast or fry, put it in the mouth, extremely delicious and refreshing, after eating a meal of donkey meat slices, the donkey is full of blood, still howling and struggling, and only dies after a whileThis cruel and delicious cooking method is called "donkey burning".

For the sake of one's own happiness, I don't know how many injustices have been created!

In recent years, Jiang Kun has used the donkey burning method to don't know how many donkeys have been enjoyed, the white bones have accumulated into a hill, he wants to keep the donkey bones to soak in wine, donkey skin boiled glue, on weekdays here is fishy smell, provoked a lot of beasts, this day in the wind and rain, there was a four-legged green python, lying on the white bone pile to swallow the white bones, on weekdays responsible for killing the donkey, the donkey house Ding Jiang Jin, Jiang Dou heard the movement to check, was also swallowed by the green python, and when everyone came, the green python was lying on the side of the white bone pile, snorting, panting.

"Oh, there are really goblins, how good is this!?" Lord Jiang saw the green python through the rain curtain, and the entourage all stopped, showing fear on their faces, Liu Dianzong decided to let them see the Taoism of Longhu Mountain, jumped to the grass, pulled out the purple cloud sword behind him, pointed at the sword, pinched the trick with his left hand, stepped on the seven stars, and waved the sword with his right hand to split the golden talisman under the book, the golden light was shining, and he flew towards the green python.

The green python is poisoned Feng Tianhuan in its original form, after escaping from Dongting Lake, because of the poison attack and hunger in the belly, attracted by the white bone pile of the donkey house, seeing Liu Dianzong urging the golden light talisman, knowing that the comer is not good, facing the talisman, open his mouth and spit out a green gas, this is the inner Dan vitality of the green python monster Feng Tianhuan, although it is a poisoned body, this green qi still has extraordinary strength, suddenly cut off the golden talisman, and scattered it in mid-air, Liu Dianzong missed a move, and was shocked, seeing that this green python monster was born with four legs, with a dragon appearance, when it was an extraordinary thing, and was about to do it again, he suddenly had a plan, and hurriedly put away his sword and retreated, returned to the front of everyone, and confessed"This monster has a vast mana, and it is difficult to match the poor road alone, I have an old friend, quite some means, and now he is visiting the road in Yuezhou, and the adults can send someone to quickly invite him to help in the war!"

"Oh, tell me, real person, what is that man's name, and where is he now?"

Liu Dianzong said loudly: "His name is Zhao Shishi, he is a descendant of the Shangqing faction in Maoshan Mountain, and now lives in Yueyanglou Inn, and there is a red spot on his right arm. ”

Master Jiang waved his hand and ordered: "Li Zhu, hurry up, you have to take a trip!"
