Chapter 777
Li Qiufeng was holding a sackcloth burden in his right hand, and he walked to the gate of the City God Temple, and suddenly heard someone say loudly: "Commander Li is here! Commander Li is here!"
At this time, pilgrims come in and out in front of the temple gate, and there is an endless stream, which is very lively. It was Li Qiufeng who didn't notice that someone was waiting for him, and when he heard someone shouting, he was startled. He searched for prestige, but found that several men gathered on the stone steps on the right side of the temple gate had already stood up and walked briskly towards him. When they met the pilgrims in front of them, these men immediately stretched out their hands to push them away. A few pilgrims were about to reprimand, but when they saw the appearance of these people, they were startled, and they dared to speak, so they had to swallow their anger and walk away quickly.
Li Qiufeng recognized these people as Wan Congyun's subordinates. Seeing that they were domineering and reaching out to push the pilgrims, for fear that they would cause trouble, he hurriedly walked a few steps forward to meet them. The man at the head walked up to Li Qiufeng and slammed it to the ground. Several other men also bowed down one after another. When the pilgrims around saw these men, they all had frightened looks on their faces. When he saw that these people respected Li Qiufeng so much, he was surprised.
Li Qiufeng saw that all the pilgrims were looking at him, for fear of causing trouble, so he lowered his voice and said to the men: "Hugh wants to make a sound, come with me!"
Li Qiufeng took a few men to a corner on the left side of the temple gate, looked around at no one, and then said to a few men: "What are you doing here?"
The man at the head looked flattering, and said, "Second Master Wan...... No, no, it was Master Wan Congyun Wan who ordered us to stay here and wait for Commander Li. He had already found the temple of the City God Temple and arranged a good place for Lord Li. Because he was busy arranging people to find out the news, he took people away after he looked at the house, leaving the villain here to wait for Commander Li. If there is anything commanded, our brother will definitely handle it for you. ”
Li Qiufeng frowned and said, "Thank you a few brothers. But it is not good for you to push the pilgrims. ”
The men looked embarrassed and looked at each other. The man at the head said: "Commander Li's lesson is true, and the villains have written it down." ”
After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Qiufeng would hold on to this matter, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation and said to Li Qiufeng: "Commander Li, the villain will take you to live and rest." ”
Several people walked towards the temple with Li Qiufeng. When the pilgrims saw these men, they all made a way. Some people didn't notice that these men had arrived, and walked unhurriedly on the road. However, after the lesson of Li Qiufeng, these men are not as arrogant as Fang Cai. When someone gets in the way, they don't push or shove it, or walk slowly behind it, and then go around it when they reach a wide area. Or say "borrow", and after the pilgrims get out of the way, they rushed to the front with Li Qiufeng.
The scale of this city Mo temple is so large, there are three courtyards before and after, the main hall is located in the second courtyard, more than three zhang high, the eaves of the fighting horns, the carved beams and painted buildings, it is very majestic. It's just that it's getting older, and it's a little old. Nearly 100 pilgrims were crowded in the courtyard, some kneeling on the futon in front of the main hall and kowtowing, and some holding incense in their hands and praying silently. Although there were so many people crowded in the courtyard, it was extremely quiet.
Li Qiufeng looked into the hall, only to see the smoke, faintly saw that there was a tall statue in the hall, but it was far away, and there was smoke in front of him, so he couldn't see clearly. Several men did not stop, and Li Qiufeng had to follow them towards the right side of the main hall.
Several men took the strong autumn wind around the corner gate on the right side of the main hall and walked all the way to the backyard. The backyard is a quadrangle courtyard, and there are more than 20 rooms in the main house and the side room together. There was no one in the courtyard, and there was silence all around, and the sound of pilgrims could be faintly heard from the front yard.
The man at the head said to Li Qiufeng as he walked: "Originally, I should have asked Li to live in the main house." However, it snowed heavily a few days ago, and the main house was in disrepair, and one corner of the house collapsed due to snow, and it has not been repaired yet. I had to ask Commander Li to live in the wing room for the time being, and after the roof of the main house was repaired, I asked Commander Li to move in. ”
Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome, it's good for me to live in the wing." Besides, I'll only stay here for a few days, and when this is over, I'll go back to the inn. ”
The man smiled and said, "Commander Li doesn't have to have any scruples. Your old man thinks it's the first time to come to our Xiuwu County, and you don't know the benefits of this City God Temple. In our Xiuwu County, when it comes to houses, the City God Temple is naturally the number one, and it is more exquisite than the county government. I heard that there was a big official in the previous dynasty, and he originally wanted to occupy this city god temple as a private residence. As a result, the city god Niangniang appeared, and the big official's family made a plague, and seven people died in one night, so scared that the big official no longer dared to fight the idea of the city god temple. ”
When Li Qiufeng heard this, he smiled slightly, and said, "I live here, and the city god will not appear and take my life, right?"
When several men heard Li Qiufeng say this, their hearts were all in shock. The man at the head was even more bitter in his heart, secretly scolding himself for being damned, and only caring about being happy, but he actually said the wrong thing, as if cursing the commander. It was because of his embarrassed face, and he said with a smile: "Li Commander Hongfu Qitian, the Jade Emperor blesses, how can the Chenghuang Niangniang be embarrassed by the adults? In the future, it will definitely be a hundred diseases, blessings and descendants, promotion and wealth, and wealth will be extensive......"
Li Qiufeng listened to this man's words, but his voice couldn't help trembling, knowing that he was scared, so he smiled: "I just said it casually, I don't mean to blame you, you don't have to worry." ”
The man saw that Li Qiufeng's face was as usual, and he was indeed not angry, so he relieved himself. At this time, everyone had reached the door of the first wing room on the left. The man at the head stretched out his hand to push open the door of the house, stood sideways by the door, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Commander Li, please come in." ”
Li Qiufeng nodded, and then walked into the house. Although the room is not very large, it is very elegantly furnished. The tables, chairs and beds in the room are beautifully made and orderly. There are also several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which do not seem to be ordinary.
Li Qiufeng walked to the table in the center of the room, looked around, and then turned his head to the man at the head and said, "This house is so exquisite, is it a bit too much for Li to live here?"
The man said with a smiling face: "Commander Li lives here, which is the blessing of the City God Temple. I won't tell you, just now we asked Miao Zhu to discuss borrowing a room for Commander Li to live in, Miao Zhu was so happy that his body trembled, and he said that he would like to invite the adults to come to the City God Temple, so he chose this room for the adults. The adults stayed there, and the little ones stayed outside, waiting for the adults' orders at any time. ”
Li Qiufeng nodded, and said, "Thank you brothers for your hard work." You don't have to stay outside, just do whatever you have to do. ”
When Li Qiufeng said this, he took out a few pieces of loose silver from his arms and handed them over, and said, "This bit of loose silver, you guys should take it and drink it." ”
When those men saw the silver in Li Qiufeng's hand, their eyes immediately lit up. But the men looked at each other, but they did not dare to reach for the silver. The man at the head said in a trembling voice: "It's a matter of course for us to do things for adults, how can we accept the adult's money?!"
Although he said this, a pair of eyes kept staring at the broken silver in Li Qiufeng's hand. Li Qiufeng said with a smile: "Let's meet for the first time today, Li Mou invited everyone to drink a glass of wine, this is a courtesy, a few people don't have to be polite." ”
The man at the head took the silver, held it tightly in his hand, thanked him repeatedly, and finally patted his chest and swore that as long as Li Qiufeng said a word, their brothers would go to the soup and fight the fire.
After a few men left, Li Qiufeng closed the door and looked around the room to confirm that there were no secret passages or walls, and then he was relieved. He sat on the chair, put the linen bag in his hand on the table, and secretly thought that Xu Yingyang sent Zhang Hao to send this thing, but he didn't know what was inside. He stared at the burden for a long time, and then carefully opened it. But I saw that inside the burden was a long black sheath knife, the shape of which was the same as the embroidered spring knife I lost.
Li Qiufeng was surprised and delighted, took the long knife in his left hand, and weighed it, it was no different from his original knife. He gripped the scabbard with his left hand and slowly pulled out the long knife with his right hand. Seeing the cold light of the blade shooting out from the sheath little by little, Li Qiufeng felt a burst of joy in his heart. remembered that when he met Xu Yingyang, this person once asked about the steel knife in his hand. Thinking about it, Xu Yingyang left his heart at that time, and after Li Qiufeng left, he found an embroidered spring knife for him.
According to the law, the embroidered spring knife used by Jinyiwei could have been made at his own expense, as long as it conformed to the shape. Later, a sword workshop was set up in the palace to create blades for the palace guards and brocade guards. Because it does not cost two silver taels to make swords in the palace workshop, and the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is extremely good, it is because most of the Jinyi guards made swords in the palace workshops later. When Li Qiufeng entered Jinyiwei, the embroidered spring knife in his hand was also made in the palace workshop. Because the workshop is every time to create blades for the same group of Jinyi guards who joined the errand service, Xu Yingyang only needs to find a person who joined the Jinyi Guard at the same time as Li Qiufeng, and he can find an embroidered spring knife that Li Qiufeng is accustomed to.
This time, Xu Yingyang went to Henan on an errand with Tongyang Zhenzhong, and brought a lot of Jinyi guards, and it was not difficult to find a Jinyi guard who was the same year as Li Qiufeng. Li Qiufeng thought to himself that Xu Yingyang's move was of course to recruit himself to do things for him, but he was so meticulous that he was indeed a great character.
Li Qiufeng pulled out the embroidered spring knife and couldn't help but try out a few tricks in the room. This embroidered spring knife is almost identical to the one he destroyed in the valley under the Tiger Head Rock. The more he danced, the more he liked it, and he actually used all the Xuanxu Sword Techniques. I saw the sword light shining in the room, and the knife wind sneered, and the momentum was extremely amazing.
Li Qiufeng can finish a set of Xuanxuan knife techniques, only feel that the whole body is comfortable, so he put the embroidered spring knife back into the sheath, and he is very proud. Just as he was thinking about what to do with the steel knife he had stolen, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the house and walked straight to his room. Li Qiufeng's heart sank, first stuffed the steel knife wrapped in the bed sheet under the bed, and then covered the embroidered spring knife given to him by Xu Yingyang under the futon. When he was ready to put his things away, he heard the footsteps outside the door.
