Su Chen couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at the blue brick courtyard wall covered with moss and exuding an ancient atmosphere in the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

When he was still very young, he often heard the fishermen and adults in Zhouzhuang mention the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and knew that the Hanshan Taoist Temple was a solemn and holy place.

And the real person of Hanshan is in the hearts of the people of Wu County, has a high prestige, and is the highest person in the world.

Not to mention the common people, even if the Gusu officials and dignitaries, and even the county magistrate wants to see the real people of Hanshan, they have to visit the Taoist temple respectfully.

Later, Su Chen joined the Medicine King Gang and became a disciple of the rivers and lakes, and he had a deeper understanding of the real influence of Hanshan Zhenren on the rivers and lakes of Wu County.

Hanshan Zhenren is one of the seven Grandmaster Realm masters recognized by the rivers and lakes of Wu County, ranking first.

The five major gangs in Wu County, the Giant Whale Gang, the Heavenly Eagle Gate, the Medicine King Gang, the Iron Sword Gate, and the Horse Gang, although their gang leaders are also masters of the Grandmaster Realm, they are not as good as the real people of Hanshan.

It's just that the Hanshan Taoist Temple is a place of cultivation outside the world, and the Taoist priests eat the incense of the people of Wu County, and rarely get involved in the conflicts of interest between the gangs in the rivers and lakes to compete for territory.

The view of the main Hanshan real person, not often in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, it is rumored that he likes to make friends with all kinds of masters, often go out to travel, the dragon sees the head but not the end.

On weekdays, in the Hanshan Temple, there are five major personal disciples of the Hanshan Zhenren, Qinghe Daochang and others, as well as many small Taoist priests who are disciples and grandchildren. Many of them are top masters in the first- and second-rate realms.

Su Chen couldn't help but wonder.

This Ding 13 is just a second-rate small leader of the Giant Whale Gang, how dare he sneak into this Hanshan Taoist Temple with many masters?

"This Cold Mountain Taoist Temple is the holy land of Wu County, even if it is the strength of the five major gangs in Wu County, they dare not offend it in the slightest. This water bandit leader actually dares to hide here, he is really not afraid of death!"

Su Chen said secretly, stayed outside the Hanshan Taoist Temple for a while, decided to follow up and take a look, and then followed the wall to sneak into the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

...

The Hanshan Taoist Temple is quite large, and the courtyard is deep.

During the day, there are many believers and pilgrims coming and going in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and it is smoky and quite lively.

The front yard is the majestic treasure hall, the courtyard is the eaves and corners of the Tibetan scripture pavilion, the Taoist calligraphy and painting garden, the hexagonal bell tower with heavy eaves, and the poetry tablet gallery of the ancient style.

The backyard is where the Taoist priests live, and there are few people walking, which seems quiet and empty.

Su Chen sniffed the smell of the fishy smell in the air, and sneaked to the backyard where the Taoist monks of the Cold Mountain Temple lived, near a side house.

Su Chen sneaked to the corner of the wing room, and soon heard the sound of the conversation between the water bandit Ding 13 and a middle-aged man in the wing room.

"Ding Shisan, who asked you to come to the Taoist temple? Leave immediately! Fortunately, the master is not here, otherwise he would have taken your life when he saw you appear in the Taoist temple. ”

The middle-aged Taoist chief spoke in a low and stern tone, and even a little annoyed and angry.

The water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang have always been vigorously surrounded and suppressed by the county officials of Wu County, and the famous water bandits have posted portraits at the city gate and are wanted.

If the leader of the water bandits enters and leaves the Hanshan Taoist Temple in private and is discovered, it will definitely cause great trouble to the Taoist Temple.

"I knew that Lord Xianzun was not here, so I dared to sneak in. If Immortal Venerable was there, who would dare to appear so boldly under his nose. ”

Ding Shisan refused to leave with a dead face, and shouted: "However, Lord Qinghe Dao, you gave me the intelligence news of the Li family's cargo ship, saying that it could make a windfall, so I took more than ten brothers to rob the ship." But the idea is too strong, and there are actually first-class top masters of the Medicine King Gang hidden on the ship!

You've made me miserable, and now I've made a big mistake and broken more than a dozen of my brothers. With such a big loss, but the silver was not recovered, how can you ask me to go back to the gang and give an account to the hall master above. You have to give me an explanation for this, don't think of sending me away without saying a word!"

"Hmph, that Li family is a big fat sheep that this Dao Ye has raised for several years, and it is cheaper for you to sell it. Before you make your own move, don't you carefully investigate the situation on the cargo ship, bump into the master of the Medicine King Gang, and complain that the fat sheep is too prickly?!"

Qinghe slammed the table, pointed at Ding Shisan, who had a laid-faced face, trembled angrily, and scolded Ding Shisan.

The fact that Ding Shisan, the leader of the water bandits, robbed the rich merchants of the Li family was the information he provided.

The boats of the Gusu River come and go frequently, but they are not boats, and the bandits dare to attack.

Those fishing boats and small sampans in the counties of Wu County have already paid a monthly weighing fee of one tael to the Giant Whale Gang, which is a stable source of income every month, and the water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang will naturally not rob again.

And those large merchant cargo ships that travel from south to north seem to be quite "fat", and often hide first-class master dart masters to escort valuable goods with the ship.

Especially the cargo ships of the four major gangs in Wu County, which are even more handy, and are escorted by masters of various gangs.

The bandits licked the blood from their knives and accidentally collided with a merchant ship protected by a first-class top master, which was bad luck, and it was a common thing to be destroyed.

Therefore, if the bandits want to rob a certain fat sheep and rich merchant on the big river and make a windfall smoothly, they must have very accurate information in advance, including the whereabouts of the people and cargo ships on board, otherwise they will often go empty and be busy in vain.

There are a lot of believers in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, and there are often rich merchants in Gusu City who come to worship before going out, begging for peace in and out.

As the acting host of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, the head of Qinghe Road often deals with wealthy businessmen, and is naturally extremely well-informed, and knows the financial resources of these believers.

But he couldn't do it himself, so he colluded with the bandits and conspired to make a fortune together.

This wealthy businessman of the Li family ran a number of rice shops in Gusu County, and he was quite wealthy.

A few years ago, the head of Qinghe River used the high-level relationship of the Medicine King Gang to introduce the daughter of the Li family to the Medicine King Gang as an inner disciple, and the carp jumped into the Dragon Gate, and the Li couple were extremely convinced of him from then on.

The wealthy merchants of the Li family often came to the Taoist temple to make incense, and every time they went out, they came to the Taoist temple to pray for peace, and even chatted with the chief of Qinghe Dao for a few words.

Qinghe thought that the Li sheep had been raised for a few years and was very fat, and at least tens of thousands of taels of silver could be slaughtered, so he sold the news of the Li family's cargo ship to Ding Shisan, the small leader of the water bandits, and asked him to take the water bandits to rob the road halfway.

Qinghe Dao Chang wanted to take the opportunity to make a windfall, and he and Ding 13 percent of the silver he robbed, and he was eighty percent and two percent. This Ding Thirteen is a small leader of the water bandits, and he has little appetite and takes little.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident, Ding Shisan led a group of bandits to ransack the rich businessmen of the Li family, and unexpectedly bumped into the master of the Medicine King Gang and missed.

This made Qinghe Dao Chief very disappointed, although Ding Shisan had lost more than a dozen of his subordinates, he also lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in vain.

The wealthy businessman of the Li family will definitely be much more vigilant when he is robbed this time, and he will even suspect that his whereabouts have been leaked, and it will be difficult to start again in the short term.

At least for a few years, it will not be convenient to touch this fat sheep again.

"Ding Shisan, a fool, must be making excuses for his mistakes, so he deliberately shirked the first-class master of the Medicine King Gang. If you really met a first-class master, you would have been cut into eight pieces a long time ago and went down to the river to feed the fish. ”

Qing Dao Chang's heart was extremely annoyed.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he sniffed carefully, as if he smelled a strange irritating smell on Ding Shisan's body.

"Idiot, you have been tracked by someone with a herbal mark, and you have been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, you are so careless! A first-class master has a keen sense, if he is tracked down to the Taoist temple, won't it affect my Taoist temple!"

Qinghe Dao Chang couldn't help but be angry and scolded.

Ding Shisan was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, and he already felt aggrieved. He was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but sniff his body carefully, and also smelled a smell of aquatic plants.

"Don't worry. The smell of H'Houtynia cordata is just that, often in the water, how can you not get a little smell of weeds. Besides, even if there are really first-class masters tracking him, he doesn't have the courage to spread wild in the Cold Mountain Daoguan. ”

Ding Shisanhun didn't care.

He often messes around in the big river, and it is inevitable that the river will be stained with some unpleasant smells such as houttuynia cordata and water bitter grass, and he will not take it to heart, and he will not feel that something is wrong.

Qinghe Dao Chang was impatient, waved his hand again and again, and asked Ding Shisan to leave quickly.

"Hmph, that's natural, my master Hanshan Zhenren is the highest person in Wu County, who dares to come to my Hanshan Taoist Temple to make trouble! As long as you are not caught on the spot, it is useless for the county order to come. You go immediately, and next time I will give you another news of a fat sheep to make up for your loss. ”

This time, Ding Shisan's slaughter of the fat sheep missed, and he had no way to remedy it, so he could only let the water bandit leader leave as soon as possible. This matter must not be implicated in the slightest bit of the reputation of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, otherwise the master will blame him, and no one will be able to bear it.

"This is what you said yourself!"

Ding Shisan was pleasantly surprised, but he was worried that Qinghe Dao would regret it.

"Let's go! ”

Qinghe Dao Chang is very impatient.

"Okay, okay, you must sell me another fat sheep!"

got the promise, and Ding Shisan, the leader of the water bandits, put on a hat and hurriedly climbed over the wall and walked out of the Taoist temple. This time, the fat sheep was not slaughtered, but lost more than ten subordinates, even if it was a blood mold, I can only look for a chance to turn it over next time.

Su Chen hid in the corner behind the house outside the courtyard, listening to the conversation between Qinghe Dao Chang and Ding Shisan, but his heart was shocked.

This Qinghe Dao Chief is not an ordinary Taoist priest, he is the head of the five major personal disciples of Hanshan Zhenren.

On weekdays, the real people of Hanshan travel all over the world, and they are all Qinghe Dao chiefs instead of real people, presiding over the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Su Chen couldn't believe that the head of Qinghe Road, the dignified Hanshan real person, actually colluded with the water bandits, took advantage of the Taoist temple incense, grasped the news of the pilgrims' whereabouts, and leaked it to the water bandits, let them rob, and share the stolen money together.

"Banditry" is a major crime, and it is one of the major crimes of killing the head set by the government, second only to the crimes of "rebellion, rebellion, and banditry".

In recent years, there have been many disasters in the 13 counties of Wu County, and the number of displaced people has become more and more serious.

Once the bandits are discovered, they will be beheaded.

Su Chen's eyes were cold, and he secretly disdained it.

Back then, Hanshan Zhenren treated him, a little fisherman with no background, and saved his life, and he admired Hanshan Zhenren very much.

Unexpectedly, Qinghe Daochang, the eldest disciple of Hanshan Zhenren, disgraced his master and became a scum among Taoist priests.

Hanshan Zhenren has rarely been in the Taoist temple these years, and has traveled all year round outside, and the dragon has no end in sight. I'm afraid that this Qinghe Dao chief dared to do anything wrong when his master was not in the Taoist temple.

This Qinghe Dao chief is the mastermind behind this big river robbery, and he is even worse than Ding Thirteen.

It's just that Su Chen knows very well that even if he tells this matter, others will not believe it, but will say that he is slandering the Qinghe Dao Chief and insulting the reputation of the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

The crime of banditry is unsubstantiated, and of course it is necessary to obtain ironclad evidence.

Su Chen secretly pondered, Qinghe Dao Chang's tone should be that he rarely meets Ding Shisan, so there must be secret correspondence. Only the evidence of the crime can make this green river chief unable to quibble.

Perhaps in this room where the Qinghe River chief lives, he can find secret letters, or stolen dirty goods.
