Chapter 295: The Old Mansion of the Zhuang Family
Before leaving, he admired the broadsword at the top of the sword mound, Qu Yan tried hard but there was no result, Qi Changzheng also wanted to go up and give it a try, but before he could climb to the top, he was rejected by the sword spirit of the god-killing sword.
I originally wanted to use spiritual power to try to communicate, but after thinking about it, the Yuan Dan in Zhihai was condensed by the remnants of the Yuan Shi Emperor, if it really resonated, Qu Yan would be embarrassed in front of him, besides, he didn't like to use swords, and the swords were rarely used now, so he gave up this plan.
After saying goodbye to Quyan, he rushed to Qingzhou City, and there was really no Yuanshi in the villages and towns along the way, but the Yuanshi in the city and county area increased a lot, and from time to time you could see the warring Daoist and Buddha sides in remote places.
Since eloping with the little princess to the Tongtian Mountain Range, one of the few times he participated in the battle of Dao Buddha, the result was very boring, and he never participated in it again, and the flying palace in a hidden state only stopped to watch for a while and left, without delay on the way, it only took a few days to rush to Qingzhou City.
Qingzhou City was obviously heavily guarded, Qi Changzheng originally wanted to send the fire crocodile to the Qinglong Mausoleum first, but when he saw these many Yuanshi, he temporarily gave up this plan and flew directly to Tangkou Town.
Tangkou Town is smaller than Qingniu Town, it is estimated that it is a small county town in the previous life, but the population is very large, from time to time there will be monks wearing Taoist robes among the pedestrians, a few people landed in the woods outside the town, mainly the white tiger can not be restrained, in the beast bag to hurry up, to the ground it can not hold back, so let it play in the jungle by itself, a few people walked into Tangkou Town.
Zhuang Xiaodie's emotions were a little excited, and she held Qi Changzheng's hand tightly, Qi Changzheng comforted her, and several people went to Zhuang Xiaodie's original residence.
Walking past a restaurant with a small scale, Zhuang Xiaodie said that this restaurant was originally her family's property, and it was because of the restaurant's booming business that it was coveted by the Buddha.
Her parents are mortals, and they also know the way of business, and the Buddha who comes to the door is very well placed, who wants the Buddha to be fed, but another restaurant not far from this restaurant is a red dealer's business is booming, secretly making it bad, and spending a lot of money to hire the Buddha to come to the door to provoke.
This purposeful Buddha is not easy to send, once or twice can deal with the past, a few more times, the dealer can't bear it, Zhuang's father complained a few words, and was beaten by the Buddha.
This time the business could not be done, so he resold the restaurant and took over the owner of another restaurant.
Zhuang's mother has good craftsmanship, so she bought a door near her home to make some snacks, although it was hard, her life was prosperous.
Unexpectedly, after the Zhuangjia restaurant was sold to the boss surnamed Chen, there was no Zhuang's mother chef, but the business plummeted, the boss surnamed Chen was also a figure with a face in Tangkou Town, his brother was the mayor of Tangkou Town, the boss surnamed Chen poured bitter water on his brother, and the mayor was powerful, and the next day, an official sent an official to seal the Zhuangjia shop and arrest Zhuang's father.
Zhuang's mother and wife said that they made some snacks in the back kitchen, and the pick-up and delivery in the store were all handled by Zhuang's father, and the Zhuang's father was arrested, Zhuang's mother panicked, and found her own brother to visit the yamen, and she always had to figure out the matter.
Zhuang's mother's younger brother also has good cooking skills, but he is not good at business, and he only opened a small wine shop, and he is still young.
This sin is inexplicable, although Tangkou Town is the head of the official family, but the Buddha is domineering, occupying most of the territory of Tangkou Town, and the Taoist is biased towards a couple, although it can be regarded as occupying a place, but it is not recognized by the officials, and the small-scale conflicts of Buddhism and Taoism are always defeated.
The location of the snack shop opened by the dealer is still very embarrassing, it is in the dividing area of the territory of the two sides of the Taoist Buddha, and there are often Taoist masters who come to eat.
Zhuang's mother was helpless, so she sent a lot of money to the yamen, which saved Zhuang's father's life, but Zhuang's mother was told that if she wanted the yamen to release Zhuang's father, she would have to go back to the restaurant to take charge of the kitchen.
In this world, it is rude for a woman to show her head, and it is good to say that her own restaurant is hiding in the back kitchen, but when she goes to another house to take charge of the kitchen, this nature is different. Zhuang's mother had no choice, so she agreed for Zhuang's father.
In this way, Zhuang's father was released, and Zhuang's mother went to Chen's restaurant to take charge of the kitchen.
Who knows, the boss surnamed Chen is not a thing, not only let Zhuang's mother cook, but also let Zhuang's mother accompany those drinkers to eat and drink, how can this Zhuang's mother accept it.
Zhuang's mother is still in her thirties, Zhuang Xiaodie inherited the appearance of Zhuang's mother, you can imagine how beautiful Zhuang's mother is, it's good to not see the drinkers in the back kitchen, the boss surnamed Chen threatened Zhuang's mother to accompany the guests, Zhuang's mother had no choice but to show up, this time, the root of the bane was left.
Zhuang Xiaodie was only six years old at the time, and the scene of that night is vivid, Zhuang's mother returned home drunk, hugged and cried with Zhuang's father, and was discussing the escape from Tangkou Town, when the door of the house was slammed open.
A Buddha staggered in, obviously drunk high, and when he saw Zhuang's mother, he began to take off his monk's robe, ignoring Zhuang's father's existence at all.
Although Zhuang's father had no power to restrain the chicken, he was the head of the family after all, and he also had the blood of a man, so he took a woodcutter to fight with the Buddha, and where was the opponent of the Buddha.
Zhuang's mother and wife were frightened, and hid the six-year-old Zhuang Xiaodie, and when she came out, Zhuang's father had fallen in a pool of blood, Zhuang's mother pounced on Zhuang's father and panicked, but the arrogant Buddha caught her into the room, Zhuang's mother struggled and cried, and escaped from the room while the Buddha was unprepared.
The Buddha kicked her over, and tore the skirt of the Zhuang mother next to the corpse of the Zhuang father, the Zhuang mother struggled to no avail, her hand touched the wood chopping knife, screaming that it was a knife to the Buddha, and the Buddha who was caught off guard was cut in the face with a knife, and in a rage, he actually grabbed the wood chopping knife and cut off the neck of the Zhuang mother, and then scolded and left.
And all this, Zhuang Xiaodie who is hiding under the bed sees it.
The Zhuang's house is also located at the junction of the Taoist and Buddhist forces, and soon after the Buddha left, there were people in the Taoist Gate who appeared at the door, and saw this tragic scene, and sighed again and again, so he brought Zhuang Xiaodie back to the Taoist Temple.
The Taoist who brought Zhuang Xiaodie into the Songhe Temple was the Taoist head of Tangkou Town at that time.
Qi Changzheng was also stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Taiping, who tested his Taoist qualifications, was actually Zhuang Xiaodie's guide.
Speaking of Shantaiping, Qi Changzheng returned to Songheguan this time, and heard Li Qingyun mention him, saying that Tangtaiping had also turned into a baby, a few months earlier than Li Qingyun's baby, and now he is also one of the deputy sect masters of the Shuifeng Fu Sect, and has also been promoted to the position of the elder of Songheguan.
It's just that he has already left Songheguan to go to Qingniu Town, Qingniu Town is not far from Tangkou Town, and I don't know if he will meet him in Tangkou Town.
The closer she got to the house, the more excited Zhuang Xiaodie became, and when she got closer, she saw the lock hanging on the door, and then looked at the clean courtyard door, and her brow suddenly furrowed.
Erdan said "Huh", walked a few steps quickly, pointed to the lock and said, "Senior Sister Zhuang, isn't this your house, why is it still a new lock?"
Even the second egg saw that something was wrong, and Zhuang Xiaodie's face turned cold.
Qi Changzheng spread out his spiritual power, the courtyard was clean and dry, obviously someone lived here, "Could it be that the yamen took your house away?"
Zhou Yu said behind him: "It must be so, these officials really deserve to be killed." ”
Qin Huang was careful, went to the side and asked the neighbor next door, and turned back to say that this house had been empty for more than ten years and uninhabited, and some time ago there were many Taoist priests in the town, and a few Taoist priests cleaned up the house and lived in.
Zhuang Xiaodie's face hesitated, Qin Huang and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and looked at Qi Changzheng.
Qi Changzheng didn't care about this, he drew his knife and cut the lock, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and in an instant, Zhuang Xiaodie's eyes turned red, and he walked through one room after another, and finally stopped in the middle room, did not go in, leaned on the door and looked into the house.
Qi Changzheng patted him on the shoulder, half-hugged her and said, "It may also be that the senior brothers of our own Taoist temple couldn't find a room to live in, and when they saw that this house was empty, they moved in." ”
Zhuang Xiaodie said, "I don't blame them, I just think of Daddy and Auntie......"
Zhuang Xiaodie choked up and couldn't go on, so Qi Changzheng hugged her in his arms and made her cry as much as she could.
After Zhuang Xiaodie's mood calmed down, several people sat down in the courtyard, discussing how to find the Buddha, and also wanted to see which Taoists occupied Zhuang Xiaodie's house.
