It is said that it is another morning, and a red sun rises from the east, reflecting half of the green morning glow.

In the small tea stall next to the official road, the guys were taking care of the merchants who were resting back and forth, and the "Liang" character was selling the "Liang" character flag at the mouth like a hanging river. When he met a businessman who looked like a wealthy businessman, the guy would also take out a two-foot-high stone carved portrait and call it "General Liang", only to see that "General Liang" was wearing a white robe and holding a paper fan, not angry but mighty, and looked awe-inspiring and inviolable. It is claimed that this is from the "skillful hand Liang" under the knife and axe, and this "General Liang" is very effective, most of the nearby villagers are no longer dedicated to the monks of Kongjue Temple, but replaced by "General Liang", as the saying goes, far water can not quench the thirst of the near, within a radius of five hundred miles, there is no "General Liang" can not take care of it.

Under the patient "persuasion" of the guys, a few more villagers bought the stone statue and held it back like a god.

Chu Qing, who was eating and drinking tea on the side, frowned when he saw it in his eyes, and said, "Brother Feng, when did this Liang Zong become a god." ”

Feng Shuzhu looked at it for a long time before replying: "He has not become a god, but he wants to be a god." ”

Chu Qing pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "If you haven't seen him in person, you can really be blinded by these people." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled, withdrew his gaze, looked at Chu Qing, and said, "What's wrong with Liang Gongzi himself?"

Chu Qing frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Liang Zong, it's okay to look at the appearance, but there is a vague indescribable disgust." ”

Feng Shuzhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Disgusted?"

Chu Qing took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, "It's just that it lacks the sense of righteousness that Big Brother Feng gives people." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Chu Qing and said with a smile: "I see, it's because he slapped you, you have a prejudice against him." ”

Chu Qing put down her chopsticks and said angrily: "No, when did I become so careful." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Eat, eat, after eating, we have to go to the town to see if there is a carriage to buy." ”

When Chu Qing heard that he was buying a carriage, he immediately turned his anger into joy and said, "Really?"

Feng Shuzhu turned his gaze to the guy who was still peddling the stone statues, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she quickly picked up the rice bowl and stepped up to pick up the rice in her mouth, looking impatient, while eating, she also secretly observed the people around her, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she took some more food and put it in a cloth bag, obviously feeding the little fat bear bag.

The two of them were in the corner of the stall, talking word by word, the customers in the store had left one after another, and the guy was still introducing the stone statue of "General Liang" to a customer, and he had no time to take care of anything else.

After Feng Shuzhu finished eating unhurriedly, he threw down some broken silver, and the two left the small tea stall and walked towards the official road.

After walking less than a hundred steps, Feng Shuzhu stopped again, turned around and glanced at the small tea stall, and suddenly said, "This guy, why don't you sell the order flag and stone statue to the two of us?"

When Chu Qing heard this, he also stopped, turned around and glanced at the guy, and said, "I guess it's because we are poor." ”

Feng Shuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Do we look poorer than porters?"

Chu Qing patted the little fat bear bag in the cloth bag, and nodded: "Well, a scholar, a cardamom girl, do you have any livelihood?"

Hearing this, Feng Shuzhu nodded slightly, and said, "Am I not like a teacher?"

Chu Qing looked him up and down a few times, shook his head vigorously, and said, "It's not like, it's like an old boy who has stood up after a long time and has not been able to do it for a long time." I couldn't help but laugh after saying that.

Feng Shuzhu also smiled and said: "I am not an ill-fated autumn white clothes, two hundred years ago, I was already a high school Tanhualang. ”

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "Who is Qiu Baiyi?"

Feng Shuzhu hurriedly said: "Oh, it's the current head of Guiyun Temple, Xuan Qing Zhenren Qiu Baiyi, who failed to rank in the nine tests in the past, and was turned into an immortal by Guiyun Zhenren. ”

Chu Qing opened her mouth wide and said, "Ah, such a stupid person can still be the head of the house." ”

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Chu Qing and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Xuan Qingzhen is extremely respected, that is because he has no career and destiny, and he is destined to practice." ”

Chu Qing suddenly came to his senses, nodded and said, "Brother Feng, you said that you were hit by Tanhua two hundred years ago, and I was only born at that time." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Count, I'm a little older than you." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "It's not a little older, it's more than two hundred years older, you have to count it from the time I turned into a human form." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled lightly and said, "How can there be such an algorithm." ”

Chu Qing thought for a while, pointed to the small tea stall, and said, "Take the clay bowl we used to eat just now, the clay bowl is made of clay, if the clay is thousands of years old, then the age of this clay bowl is thousands of years old?"

Feng Shuzhu was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "Well, yes, Qing'er is still a cardamom girl, how can she be a two-hundred-year-old old woman." After saying that, he smiled heartily.

Chu Qing glanced at Feng Shuzhu and said in a low voice, "It's about the same." ”

The two continued to walk, all the way to the north, and the official road gradually became wider, but most of the people who came and went held a pennant with the word "Liang" in their hands, like rushing to a temple fair.

Seeing this, Chu Qing's brows tightened, and her disgust expression was self-evident, but on the other hand, Feng Shuzhu smiled and thanked the well-wishers for their admonitions.

"Walk by, don't miss it, take a look, take a look, General Liang's order flag, law minister, first come, first served. A rough shout came from the side of the road ahead.

I saw a few stout men, each with a trolley behind him, which was full of "Liang" flags, "General Liang" stone statues, and "General Liang" wood carvings, all the way down the official road, shouting and selling to passers-by, and these people were the porters who rested at the small tea stall the day before yesterday.

Chu Qing suddenly laughed out loud, and her pretty face turned cloudy to sunny.

Feng Shuzhu said puzzledly: "Why is Qing'er happy again?"

Chu Qing pointed to the porters in front of him and said, "In the past, the banners and statues of the immortals and saints, which of them were not asked for in the sacred place, but this 'General Liang' was shouted at like a vegetable vendor in the market, isn't it ridiculous?"

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he nodded and said, "It seems that our 'General Liang' is still not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

While talking, the two had already walked up to a man, who looked at the two of them and stepped forward and said, "Two, strangers, buy a 'General Liang' order flag to keep you safe all the way." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "May I ask Brother Tai, how many silver taels does this flag cost?"

As soon as the man heard that there was a show in business, he immediately turned around and introduced: "This side is big Wu Liang, this side is three taels, and the smallest one on this side is only one tael." ”

Feng Shuzhu turned around and pointed, "Brother, are you much more expensive than the small tea stall we just passed by?"

The man glared when he heard this, and said, "How much does he sell?"

When several other men heard this, they also gathered around and asked how much they were selling.

Feng Shuzhu glanced at everyone, picked up the medium-sized triangular "beam" flag and said: "This side, as long as there are two or two, tea will be sent for free." ”

When the man heard this, he turned around and shouted in a rough voice: "Big brother, the Liang Mansion is not trustworthy, and it will be sold for one price." ”

I saw that the one-year-old man pushed aside everyone, stepped forward, squinted his eyes, glanced at Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing, stepped forward and arched his hand: "What is the name of this son, why does he look so familiar?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled heartily and said: "Don't say that you are a scholar on this official road, there are so many porters, this brother said that I am familiar, I think it is inevitable that I will remember it wrong." He gestured to the cart behind the man.

When the old man heard this, his body was shocked, and he hurriedly apologized: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong." ”

Feng Shuzhu took out some broken silver from his cuffs and said, "Although the small tea stall in front is cheaper, the two of us have missed it, so let's buy this flag." ”

The rough man took the silver with a smile, stuffed it into his shirt, and arched his hand: "Thank you for taking care of the business, thank you, thank you." ”

Feng Shuzhu pretended to be ignorant and asked in a low voice, "But I don't know, does this Lingqi work?"

The man looked back and forth, saw that there was no one else, leaned over and whispered: "Don't hide it, if you buy it, it's really fine, if you don't buy it, if there is really a disaster, you should spend money to avoid disasters and follow the customs." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled, arched his hand and said, "Thank you brother Tai for reminding you to follow the customs." ”

The man also laughed, and said while making a gesture of please: "Follow the customs, follow the customs." ”

Feng Shuzhu pulled Chu Qing, holding the "Liang" character order flag in his hand, and walked a long way forward, but when he saw Chu Qing bowing his head and looking confused, he asked, "Qing'er, is there anything you don't understand?"

Chu Qing frowned, thought about it, and said, "It's not that I don't have any confusion, but I haven't figured it out, Brother Feng knows that this Lingqi is a cover to defraud people of money, so why do you want to buy it." ”

Feng Shuzhu said with a smile: "When you use it, you will naturally know, and besides, we also have to follow the local customs, right." ”

Chu Qing nodded and said, "Then you just deceived those porters, saying that the small tea stall is cheaper than theirs, what is the purpose?"

Feng Shuzhu laughed and said, "I just want to test whether these people who sell orders are a group of people, or if there is someone else behind them." ”

Chu Qing was even more confused after hearing this, and said: "How can the small tea stall and that group of porters be in the same group, and don't the tea stall guys also trick the porters into spending more silver to buy the Lingqi?"

Feng Shuzhu looked at Chu Qing half-seriously and said, "Qing'er, what you remember, what you see, and what you hear is sometimes not necessarily the truth. ”

Chu Qing seemed to be remembering it attentively, nodded and said, "Oh." Then he asked: "That old porter was fierce at first, and then when Brother Feng said that he was wrong, why did he change his smiling face?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the rivers and lakes, you don't understand, they do." After speaking, he pointed ahead and said, "Qing'er, you see there is a market ahead." ”

On the other hand, talking about the porters, the backs of the two of them gradually disappeared, and the rough man picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, fell onto the cart, and said: "Big brother, is this person really a scholar, how can he look like a habit." ”

The old man, squinting his eyes, looked at the direction where Feng Shuzhu had disappeared, and said: "We are in a hurry, there is no need to offend the characters who don't know the details, when the masked man robbed, these two people were not far away, I saw it really, their expressions were like nothing at the time." ”

The man who heard the rough voice opened his mouth wide, and thought for a while: "Could it be, I was stunned at the time." ”

The old man rolled his eyes, gave him a blank look, and said hatefully: "I see that it is you who are stunned! With that, he shook his fist and walked back to his cart.

The rough man, scratching his head and looking sluggish, chased after him and asked loudly: "Big brother, when did I say that the Liang Mansion instructed us to ......?"

The old man hurriedly made an interrupting gesture, looked around at the people passing on the official road, and whispered, "Sell your goods!"

It is said that Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing walked to the market, and it was already evening, and the lights were on. The scale of this market is not as good as Luotian Town, a only street on both sides, nothing more than inns and restaurants, etc., mostly for the past business travel to provide food and accommodation places, but at this time the big difference is that each merchant door is hung with a big red lantern, on which the word "beam" is written.

I chose an inn that looked fairly clean, the two of them just walked into the store, their heels were not yet stable, and the shopkeeper who was about forty years old greeted each other with a smile, and arched his hand and said: "Two guest officers, I don't know if it's a tip, or a hotel?"

Feng Shuzhu glanced inside, and saw that there was no one else in the store except for two customers who were eating noodles with their heads bowed, and he retracted his gaze and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, why is business so cold today?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Childe has a heart, but you don't know, this market is really a temporary resting place for business travelers, this time ago there was a double-faced Buddha and demon road, and then there was General Liang, although the two are different, but people in a foreign land can't help but be frightened, so the business has been deserted for many days." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "It's not a secret, we are also people from a foreign land, but I don't know what the difference between the two means in the shopkeeper's mouth?"

The shopkeeper looked back at the two people who were eating noodles, and said in a low voice: "This double-faced Buddha has indeed killed countless creatures for the Demon Dao, and this General Liang is actually the son of Liang Shilang. ”

Feng Shuzhu frowned, and said in surprise: "General's Mansion?"

The shopkeeper nodded, and said in a low voice: "I heard that it was built on the original site of the double-faced Buddhist temple, and it seems to be on a larger scale, but it is different from the previous double-faced Buddha to take advantage of it, this Liang Zonggongzi has endless gold and silver, and a horse can be sold for five hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper said with a glint in his eyes, and stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of him.

Feng Shuzhu turned to look at Chu Qing and said with a smile: "Qing'er, it seems that your carriage can't be bought here." ”

Chu Qing had been listening intently to the shopkeeper's words, and was asked by Feng Shuzhu before he came back to his senses, and pouted: "Then let's go further, I don't believe that this Liang Zong can buy all the world." ”

Before Feng Shuzhu replied, the shopkeeper shook his head and said: "What this little girl said is true, but within a radius of five hundred miles, there is really no carriage available, you just want to go forward, you have to walk another two hundred miles to have a town, it is late today, I think the two of you still live for one night, there are two first-class guest rooms in our store, I don't know what the two of you think?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Then stay for one night, two first-class rooms, and then make a good banquet on the table and send it to the room." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was immediately out of control, rubbed his hands and said, "It's just this deposit, son, do you see?"

Feng Shuzhu suddenly came to his senses, took out a piece of fifty taels of silver from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Is it enough?"

The shopkeeper took the silver ingot, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, nodded again and again, and said, "Two distinguished guests, please upstairs." ”

Just as the shopkeeper led the two upstairs, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered, turned around and said, "The two distinguished guests just said that they wanted to buy a carriage?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded, and said strangely: "What, the shopkeeper has a way?"

The shopkeeper said: "I just suddenly remembered that you can't buy a carriage, but our store has a rabbit horse (note: a name for donkey) car, usually used to buy vegetables and goods, anyway, the business has been cold recently, and the store can't use it, if you don't give up, you can temporarily rent it for a day." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile, turned his head to Chu Qing and said, "Qing'er, what do you think?"

Chu Qing glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Obviously there is a carriage, and he lied to us, of course he wants to rent it, and he can rent it for a day." ”

When Feng Shuzhu heard this, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Then there is a shopkeeper, we will rent a rabbit carriage for a day to use, as for the rent, ......."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the son's deposit is just deducted." ”

As he spoke, he sent the two to the guest room, turned around and said, "The two distinguished guests will rest for a while, the wine and food will be presented later, and there is a guest room next door, and the door has been opened, so I won't disturb it, please take care of it." ”

Listening to the shopkeeper "kicking" a few steps downstairs, Chu Qing walked in and looked at the room, this inn looks simple and ordinary from the outside, but the guest room is quite elegantly arranged, the room is mainly decorated in dark black, light white gauze tent, black wood carved bed, ebony bottle rack, pink and white walls are hung with calligraphy and paintings, and the ground is actually oiled with black paint.

Chu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and released the little fat bear bag from the cloth bag, but seeing that it was still sleeping, he picked it up and put it on the bed, turned around and said, "Brother Feng, why do you want two rooms?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "I've been sleeping in the mountains for a few days, and I'm going to lie down and rest, I can't sit and sleep all the time." ”

Chu Qing let out an "oh", and then said, "Then I slept in this room, and you can go next door after dinner." ”

Feng Shuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Qing'er can live in whichever room she likes." ”

While talking, he heard a knock on the door, Feng Shuzhu turned around and opened the door, but saw a young man, holding a plate, standing at the door and saying, "Hello guest officer, you want wine and food." ”

Feng Shuzhu let the guy into the room, and while watching the guy put the wine and food on the table, he asked, "Why didn't you see the little brother when you entered the store?"

When the guy heard this, he stopped with a smile and said, "The little one was sent out to buy firewood by the shopkeeper, and he just came back." ”

Feng Shuzhu said again: "Does the shopkeeper have any other explanations?"

When the guy heard this, he patted his head and said: "Look at my memory, the shopkeeper said that the two of you want to rent a rabbit carriage, and the little one will put the car in the morning and park it in the backyard, and the two of you can go to pick it up early when you are finished." After finishing speaking, he finished the wine and food, put away the plate, and said, "If the guest officer has any other needs, please feel free to give orders." ”

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Brother Lao, come and collect the dishes and chopsticks tomorrow morning." ”

The man answered, withdrew, closed the door, and went down the stairs.

Chu Qing was curious about what the backyard looked like, so she pushed open the window, and at this time the two of them found that this room was built on the side of the back street, and when the window was opened and faced the backyard, a small courtyard could be seen. The ground is quite flat, some flowers and plants are placed bonsai, there are a few sheds on the east side, and it is vaguely visible that there are "horses" grazing inside, and there is a "carriage" that Chu Qing has loved for a long time next to it, and the remaining few seem to be used for stacking firewood and sundries, and outside the courtyard wall is a deep forest.

Chu Qing turned his head half confused and said, "Brother Feng, why did I see that the carriage had no shed?"

Feng Shuzhu took a bite of food and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper has already made it clear that it is a car for loading goods, how can it be compared to those high-end carriages that sit on people." ”

Chu Qing was suspicious, walked back to the stool, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Brother Feng, why is it called a rabbit horse?"

Feng Shuzhu raised the wine glass and drank it on his back, took advantage of the situation to cover his smile with his sleeve, and said: "This rabbit horse is a horse with long ears, shorter than the one you see in Luotian Town, but it is more suitable for you to drive." ”

When Chu Qing heard that he was short, he was full of joy and said, "Isn't that cute?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded "um" and said, "And he is very obedient, and he doesn't run fast." ”

Chu Qing listened to it, glanced at the little fat bear bag lying on the bed on his back, and said, "Isn't it cuter than the bag." Perhaps in her mind, the rabbit horse depicted at this time was a miniature version of the horse, perhaps somewhat related to the white rabbit, but the fact was that it was a donkey.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, urging: "Brother Feng, eat quickly, go back to the house to sleep after eating, let's get up early tomorrow morning, if you can't get up, I can call you." ”

Seeing this, Feng Shuzhu said: "It's better to take this pot of wine back to the house to eat, and the two of them will talk while eating together, delaying time." ”

Chu Qing chewed the food in her mouth a few times hard, nodded again and again, and said, "Mmmm, go, go." ”

Feng Shuzhu picked up the wine jug, looked at the roof, doors and windows, and said, "This house is quite solid." ”

Chu Qing didn't know what he meant when he heard this, but he had been thinking about the rabbit carriage, so he didn't think deeply, but just said, "Brother Feng, I will call you very early!"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Feng will definitely accompany you to get the rabbit carriage early." Seeing that Chu Qing didn't say anything more, Fang took the wine jug and turned around and walked out.

Feng Shuzhu pushed the door and walked into the next room, lit the candle on the table by the moonlight, looked at the room, and was similar to where Chu Qing lived, so he put down the wine jug and sat down.

Slowly brought a glass of wine to his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, as if he was smelling the wine, and as if he was thinking about things, everything that had happened since he came out of Liangfu in Luotian Town, walked through his mind one by one, and suddenly, he was frozen at Granny Duan's .......

He opened his eyes suddenly, and said to himself, "It's not good." ”
