When Cao Cao and his entourage were about to arrive at the outskirts of Qian County, they met the old man again at the place where they broke up at that time. The old man stood on the side of the road and couldn't stop waving, and after seeing that it was Cao Cao and the others, he said happily: "Sure enough, when it is time for Cao Gongzi, I have to trouble Gongzi to take the old man for a ride." ”

Li Ru was surprised: "Uncle has been waiting here, how do you know that we will come back?"

"Oh, didn't the old man go to find his nephew?" Cao Cao also asked.

"Ahem, don't mention it, my nephew's family has found it, but my nephew is not at home. He was originally a son-in-law, and he could be regarded as having a family, but that family was too arrogant, and called my nephew as a cow and horse, and often ridiculed him. If my nephew is not here, will the woman keep me as an old man? Hey, I have to go to Songshan again. “

"Songshan?" Cao Hong was shocked and said vigilantly, "Senior brother." ”

Cao Hong's vigilance is very reasonable, the old man originally said that his nephew lived in Xuchang, and said that he had gone to Qian County, but now he went to Songshan, is it really a coincidence?

Cao Cao naturally understood what he meant, this was too coincidental, every time the old man wanted to go, it was always exactly the same as Cao Cao and the others, no wonder Cao Hong was suspicious.

Cao Cao still invited the old man to get on the horse. He casually asked, "Uncle, your nephew has run far enough, but the great Songshan Mountain, do you know which temple he is a monk?"

"I know, I know, it's in Fawang Temple, and the woman went to look for him once, and I saw that he was determined to be a monk, so forget it. Listening to the woman's family, there are two main peaks in Song Mountain, one is Taimur Mountain, Fawang Temple is on it, and the other is Shaomu Mountain, there is a Taoist temple on it, called Taiyi Temple, oh, by the way, I heard that the old Guan Lord used to be a big official!"

Isn't this the name also in the blood book?

Cao Hong had something to say: "Your niece and granddaughter-in-law know a lot, what else did she say?"

The old man didn't notice Cao Hong's intentions, and said to himself: "I heard my nephew and daughter-in-law say that the host of the Fawang Temple seems to have some origins, and has some relationship with the White Horse Temple in the capital, it seems that the two brothers are making trouble or something." As for the Taiyi Temple, my niece and daughter-in-law said that the old Guanzhu was also an official in the capital when he was young, and then for some reason, he saw through the red dust and left home, what is the name of Muyou Daochang. “

"Daoist Muyou?" Cao Hong was shocked, could it be that the 'wood' he asked him to find in the blood book was this Daoist Muyou? He felt more and more that this old man was a little strange.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Uncle, are these all your nieces and granddaughters-in-law talking about?"

The old man smiled dryly: "Of course, hehe, of course." ”

Since they were originally going to Songshan, they happened to go there on the pretext of escorting the old man, and with this pretense, those hidden 'Hongmen' killers couldn't figure out the true intentions of Cao Cao and the others.

Sure enough, as Cao Cao expected, although the return route was a long detour, the road was unimpeded and very smooth.

This day has arrived in Songyang County, there are only thirty miles left from Songshan Mountain, riding on a horse, the shadow is enough to see the outline of Songshan Mountain in the northwest direction.

There was nothing to do along the way, and everyone was a little bolder. The sun hasn't set yet, but I'm not going to rush today, find a place to stay for one night, there happens to be a larger inn, called the Welcome Guest Inn.

Tomorrow, I will be separated from the old man, order some good wine and good food and send it to the room, and eat while chatting. The old man was also very happy, and he talked more, and he toasted one by one to express his gratitude, wishing good people good rewards.

Cao Hong returned the old man with a cup, "I said old man, your nephew is really good enough to toss, running around is like playing hide and seek." It's a coincidence, every time your grandson changes places, he goes with us. “

"Yes, yes, if you don't say that the old man has a fate with the young heroes, if you don't have a kind heart, the old man's body, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it for a long time. ”

Li Ru also raised his glass: "Old man, this time your grandson won't run away again, don't wait for your old man to arrive in Songshan, he will return to the vulgar and leave the Fawang Temple, and return to Qian County to continue to be a son-in-law for others, right?"

"Hey, young people now, how many people can be relied on? Like a few young heroes, I'm afraid there aren't many. cough, if my nephew tosses again, the old man won't toss anymore, and he will simply be an old monk in Fawang Temple. ”

The old man said to Mi Yue and Zhang Mei again: "Thanks to the two girls who took care of the old man along the way, like the two of them, who are beautiful and good-hearted, they will definitely be able to find a handsome and handsome Ruyi Langjun in the future." “

The faces of the two of them were crimson, and they didn't know what to say shyly. Mi Yue secretly glanced at the senior brother beside her, and happened to meet Cao Cao's gaze, so she hurriedly turned around and found that Zhang Mei was also looking at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hurriedly relieved the siege for the two, raised his glass and said: "The old man is too polite, it is not easy to go out, you should help each other, there is a banquet in the world, farewell tomorrow, I don't know when I will be able to meet the old man, please drink a few more glasses." “

Everyone was drinking happily, and suddenly they heard a crisp sound downstairs, as if something had been broken, and then they heard the guy shouting.

Vigilantly, everyone gently opened the window of the room, just in time to see the inside of the inn lobby clearly.

It turned out that a great monk strode into the inn, and when he entered the door, he happened to bump into the guy who was serving wine to the guests. This big monk is really big, he is too tall, his shoulders are big and his waist is round, and his fat body trembles when he walks.

His weight was enough for the three guys, and the two collided, and even the wine jar that the guy was holding fell to the ground, and the wine jar was also broken, and the guy hummed for a long time before he got up.

The guy wanted to get angry, but he looked up at the big monk, and then held back his words, he couldn't afford to provoke such a big man.

The great monk smiled and said, "Amitabha, don't do anything, don't do anything." The money for this jar of wine will be counted into the money for meals later. ”

Just give money, otherwise you will be scolded by the shopkeeper. Seeing that the big monk said this, the man hurriedly greeted, "Master, please, the little one will prepare a vegetarian meal for the master." ”

"Wait. The great monk waved his hand and found a table near the door to sit down, and the man hurriedly followed.

"Come to two jars of fine wine, and cut ten catties of beef. ”

"Ah, master, can you still drink wine and eat meat?"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Don't say eat some wine and meat, a few days ago, the little monk set fire to the entire village, burning to death an unknown number of people, Amitabha. “

The big monk spoke, his face was always full of smiles, but the guy was so frightened that he almost squatted on the ground, what? I was so frightened that I hurried to cut the meat.

The words of the great monk tugged at the heartstrings of the Cao brothers. "A fire, a village, could it be that the fire was done by this thief?"

Cao Hong immediately wanted to rush out, but was pulled by Cao Cao.

Don't act rashly yet, and observe for a while.

After a while, the man served the wine jar and beef, and was about to walk away, but was stopped by the big monk, "Man, you have a man named Tang Zhen here, how can he leave his house? ”

"Oh, master, you are talking about the old hero of Zhongyuezhuang, in our Songyang County, he is a famous man, known as the 'Zhongzhou hero', today is the old hero's 70th birthday, I heard that many martial arts people go to congratulate, dare to love the master you too." Tang Lao Hero is the glory of our Songyang County, and he is also a great good man, tonight his family set up a feast, I heard that even the people who can't afford to eat, even beggars can go to eat. The master can relax his stomach, and his wine and food are much better than those in the small shop. "Speaking of Tang Daxia, the guy was interested, chattering, and spitting and splashing.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Even if there is another serving, the little monk can eat it. “

The great monk ate meat and drank wine, and the wind swept away, and half of it was wiped out in a while. The guy had never seen this way of eating, and his eyes were about to fall off.

At this time, another person entered, a middle-aged woman, with her head full of precious jewelry, and her body richly decorated, looking like a noble lady from a large family.

The woman walked straight to the big monk's table, sat down face to face with him, and said softly: "It's such a good appetite, be careful not to miss the right thing, this time I can't do it well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spare you." ”

"So when you come, sister, we will go together, and the little monk will not be confused again. ”

"That's right, the last time the head asked you to find something didn't find it, but the Zhuangzi was burned, if I hadn't said good things for you in front of the head, you could still eat so fragrant this meal?"

The big monk grabbed the woman's left hand and stroked it gently: "Sister's skin is delicate and smooth, how do you take care of it? ”

The woman didn't pull it back, "This matter is done, I'll touch you enough, it's not too early, it's important to get down to business, let's go." "The woman's voice is delicate, like the sound of a swallow and a warbler, and it is very pleasant.

The guy was dumbfounded, listening to the words of the great monk, his face turned red, and he was about to walk away, but he heard that the two were leaving, and he was busy waiting for the checkout.

The woman looked at the man and asked, "Little brother, why is it so hot here, you see, the slaves are sweating." "As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to 'untie his clothes, cool and cool.' Frightened, the guy hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands.

The woman giggled and trembled, slowly took out a large ingot of silver, pinched it gently, and placed it on the table. The silver, which had been pure white in color, suddenly turned extremely black, apparently containing poison.

The guy who was originally smiling was scared half to death, where did he dare to collect this silver?

The woman gave the fellow a charming smile and took the money away. The great monk followed behind her and walked out of the inn together.

Seeing that the two were leaving, Cao Cao felt that he would follow and have a look, so he asked Cao Ren to accompany the old man to drink, take care of the two girls at the same time, and quietly follow out with Li Ru and Cao Hong.

Regardless of whether the burning of Caojiazhuang is related to this great monk, let's go and see it first.

After Cao Cao and the others left, they sat down for a while, and Mi Yue and Zhang Meihe said goodbye and returned to the room first, leaving only Cao Ren and the old man.

Cao Ren was originally a taciturn and talkative person, when there were many people, he ate a lot and drank a lot, but he barely said a few words all night.

Now there are only two of them, and no one speaks, but you look at me and have a drink, and I look at you again and drink a drink. In ancient times, there were many people who came to see the food and wine, and I am afraid that this is the first time that the 'people' have drunk wine.

This way of drinking, it is difficult not to get drunk, but after a while, Cao Ren drank a little too much, the old man helped him into the room and lay down on the bed, looking at the young man in front of him, the old man carefully leveled his body to prevent him from spitting up.

After settling down, the old man just wanted to quit, when he suddenly heard Cao Ren ask: "Uncle, after getting along for so long, I still don't know what your name is, what to call it?"

This is why the talker does not ask, but it comes from the mouth of the drunken man who does not like to talk.

The old man was stunned and was about to answer, but saw that Cao Ren was already asleep.

The old man smiled, turned and walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

He turned his head to look at the room of the two girls, and saw that the lights had already gone to bed, so he nodded silently and went downstairs lightly.
