Chapter 24: Endless Gold and Silver Roll In

As the saying goes: "The bird flies away with the phoenix, and the person is proud of the virtuous and virtuous", which is not wrong at all.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Shou has been following Huzi for more than half a year, he has learned a lot along the way, under the training of Huzi, he has gradually stepped into the door of cultivation, although his qualifications are not very good, and his age is also on the older side, but fortunately, there are also some immortal roots, after Huzi used the accumulation of elixir spirit stones, he successfully stepped into the Taichu realm, and the temperament of the whole person has also undergone a qualitative change, which makes people look inexplicably deep.

They believe in the reins, go through the village and pass through the shops, sleep overnight, eat and drink thirstily, act chivalrous, help the needy, read all the sufferings of the people, and become more and more firm in their hearts to the Tao. For a few moments, Huzi suddenly felt as if he could actually blend into this landscape, and he knew that he had touched the threshold of the Taixuan Realm.

"Don't, don't", on the edge of the Huai River, the river water kept whirlpooling, a woman cried and fell to the ground, holding the calf of a two- or three-year-old boy grabbed by a Taoist priest, and refused to let go, the same scene, another woman also grabbed the arm of a girl who was also two or three years old and refused to let go, crying to death, a pair of boys and girls were also frightened and cried, but the surrounding villagers just shook their heads and sighed, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

"Li Hai's family, Li Shan's family, this is all drawn by lot, we can't help it, now you have lost your child, next time you may draw lots, it's not the same, you cry like this, once you annoy the river god, our whole village is finished, even if the old man begs you, okay?" an old man with a cane and white hair beat his chest and shouted.

"Patriarch, we are just one child, please, let them go, we are willing to die for the child, you let them go. "It's reluctant to see your child sacrifice in exchange for anyone, even if the animal is in danger when the cub is in danger, it will stand up and lick the calf deeply, let alone a human. The boy's mother, seeing that the child could not be saved, looked at her husband, who was still shaking his head and sighing helplessly, and shed tears, suddenly separated from everyone, and plunged into the well beside her. Everyone was stunned, and with a "snap", the girl's mother's head also hit the stone pillar on the archway at the entrance of the village, and the blood flowed when she landed, and after a while, the person was out of breath.

The man named Li Hai lay on the side of the well fence and cried "Lady, lady", and the man named Li Shan suddenly fainted on the ground, and the old man, who was called the patriarch, paused for crutches and sighed: "What are you suffering for!" The villagers who witnessed this scene were all terrified, and they did not dare to imagine that once they drew lots, this would be their own end.

By the river, a Taoist priest wearing gossip clothes, holding a sword in his hand, and having two beards, said impatiently: "You are still endless, and when the old man is angry, do you want the lives of the whole village?"

The patriarch shook his head, gritted his teeth, waved his hand and signaled that the two children who were crying and had been dumb and had a dumb voice were handed over to the two little Taoists, and the two little Taoists threw the two children with a wicked smile and threw them into the rolling whirlpool, in the whirlpool, a strange fish jumped up, opened its bloody mouth, swallowed the two children into their mouths, the crying stopped abruptly, and the rolling whirlpool gradually calmed down.

The villagers seemed to have forgotten the two broken families in an instant, and they all knelt by the river happily, saying: "Thank you to the river god, may the river god bless our small Linhe village with good weather and abundant grains." ”

At the beginning of the light, Li Hai and Li Shanju were discouraged, and they packed up their baggage overnight, and left this village that made their hearts full of hatred, the indifference and ruthlessness of the people here only made them feel disgusted, and they hated their own incompetence, and could not protect their wives and children, what kind of men are they, and now that their family is ruined, there is no other choice but to leave them.

On the bank of the Huai River, the laughter and laughter in the river temple at the entrance of Xiaolinhe Village are in stark contrast to the sadness of Li Hai and Li Shan, and the two little Taoist priests who threw the boys and girls into the river during the day kept patting the Taoist priest in gossip clothes, "Master's trick is really clever, those ignorant villagers not only have to automatically offer boys and girls to the master to make up for the role, but also offer a large sum of money for us to enjoy, amazing, amazing!"

The Taoist priest dressed in gossip clothes got carried away and said: "I think of me Yunyangzi, I can let these ants be fed, this is also their honor, come to the apprentices, our grandfather and son are a big deal." ”

After a glass of wine, Yun Yangzi slammed the wine glass on the table, and said to himself with a fierce look in his eyes: " I think I am the hall master of the Shuiyue Palace Inspirational Hall, I made such a little mistake, the old miscellaneous hair of the dust grabbed me and didn't let go, and I had to abolish the cultivation of this seat, if I didn't escape quickly, I would definitely be poisoned by him, and I was seriously injured before I fell here, fortunately, there are two of you good disciples, and the teacher can settle down here, and now the cultivation of the teacher has gradually recovered to the same realm of the Dao, and then there is this pair of boys and girls of the essence, and the peak of the Dao Yuan Realm is just around the corner, and it is not difficult to break through the Dao Cheng Realm in a few more years to achieve the earth immortal, and at that time, the teacher will take you back to the Water Moon Palace and destroy the old miscellaneous hair, I'm going to try what it's like to be the palace master's throne, how about each of you being a hall master?"

The two little Taoist priests immediately knelt down and flattered: "Thank you for the cultivation of the palace master, the disciples and others will go to the soup and the fire, and they will not give up." ”

"Hahaha", Yun Yangzi laughed wildly, as if he was already the palace master of Shuiyue Palace at this moment.

Li Hai and Li Shan left Xiaolinhe Village overnight, and met unexpectedly at the entrance of the village, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then walked aimlessly to the east together, Li Hai sighed and said: "Brother, the world is so big, where is our place." ”

Li Shan gritted his teeth, "Two hundred miles to the east, is Huaiyin County, I have an aunt and cousin in Dalinhe Village, I arrived in Huai'an ten years ago, has been running in a hotel, the old shopkeeper of the hotel because he saw my cousin loyal and diligent and married his daughter to my cousin, some time ago I sent a letter to my aunt saying that the old shopkeeper and his wife have handed over the hotel to him to take care of, why don't we go to him, it is better to have a place to live first, earn some silver and slowly avenge my wife and children, as well as my sister-in-law and nephew!"

Although Li Hai is an honest pimple, but if he said that he did not have a little wave in his heart about the innocent and tragic death of his wife and children, Li Shan's words made his dying heart gas a little hope of revenge, and the random two went together, along the way, when they were thirsty, they drank some river water, and when they were hungry, they looked for food from their families, and came to Huaiyin County within seven days, and only came to this restaurant called "Baiwei Zhai" after inquiry.

It was noon when it was the time for passers-by to go to the tip, and the little two of the hotel were standing at the door shouting, and when they saw Li Hai and Li Shan who came over, they were ragged and unkempt, and said with a displeased face: "Go and go, the guests have not used the meal, and there is no leftovers for you, go farther first, and come back in an hour, don't spoil our business." ”

Li Hai was already timid, so he pulled Li Shan and said: "Brother, what the second brother said is right, it's better for us to come back later, don't spoil other people's business." ”

Li Shan was angry that Xiao Ergou looked down on people, and shouted to Xiao Er angrily: "You were born with a pair of dog eyes, and your shopkeeper is my cousin, and I will wait for my cousin to come and break your stinky mouth in a while." ”

"Yo, it's your cousin who is in charge, and the emperor is still my second uncle, the toad yawns, and he has a big breath. Xiao Er said sarcastically.

Li Shan was suddenly furious, grabbed Xiao Er's collar, Li Hai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, Xiao Er thought that the two were going to do something to him, and shouted loudly: "Beat people, beat people." After a while, the entrance of the hotel was crowded with people watching the excitement.

A cough came from inside the hotel, and a man in his thirties, with a pale black face and a green scarf on his head, walked out with a calm face.
