Chapter 17: The Young Dark Horse Wolf Head Mountain

City God Temple, the City God God was first seen in the Zhou Dynasty's "Book of Rites" Son of Heaven in the eight waxes of the Son of Heaven. The word "city god" was first seen in the first six words of the Thai hexagram in the Book of Changes: "The city is restored to the god, don't use the teacher, tell the life from the city, and be stingy." Among them, "cheng" refers to the city wall, and "god" refers to the moat (moat). The word Chenghuang is used to refer to the city in general, and it was first seen in Bangu's "Liangdu Fu Preface": "Jingshi repairs the palace room, and Jun Chenghuang." Primitive worship believed that everything related to people's daily life had a god, and that "meritorious service to the people was enshrined, and those who could ward off disasters and disasters were worshipped" ("Five Rites General Examination"). The city walls and moats have made great contributions in defending against enemies and beasts, and protecting the safety of the people of a city. As a result, the god of Shui Yong was elevated to the god of the city and was regarded as the guardian deity of the city.

The city god temple of Yangping County was originally located on the wolf's head mountain, because of the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, it has long been abandoned, and now the city god temple has long disappeared from the gods, and has become the gathering hall of the thieves, and the periphery of the city god temple is built with wood and stone in a radius of three miles, and there are houses built with wood and stone for the thieves to live in the wall, and there is this little rule.

When the thieves surrounded the young man and stepped into the gate, an old couple ran towards them, saw Qin Shou, and hurriedly hugged Qin Shou and cried: "Son, I heard that you were arrested, but I am worried that we will die." ”

Qin Shou took the second elder's hand, gently tore it off his body and said, "Father, mother, the child is fine, it was this little master who let the child go." ”

When the old couple saw the young man, they hurriedly knelt down to the young man and exclaimed, "Thank you, little benefactor." ”

Kun Ling also introduced to the people in the cottage: "This little engong is the great benefactor of our whole village, everyone came to pay respects." ”

"Meet Little Engong. "Hula", knelt down again, the young man was a little at a loss by the scene, hurriedly stepped forward, helped everyone up, and said: "Everyone, get up quickly, get up quickly, you can torture me like this." ”

After helping everyone up, Kun Ling raised his hand towards the Juyi Hall and said, "Xiao En, please." Everyone also shouted: "Xiao En, please." ”

The young man was embarrassed for a while, scratched the back of his head, hugged his fists at everyone, and said: "Don't call it like that, I am from Ji County, Hanoi, and my surname is Zhang Mingshizhen." It turned out that this young man was the tiger who had left home to train, and he had come to Duong Binh County all the way from Hanoi to sleep, but he had not yet entered the city, but he met this gang of bandits.

In the Juyi Hall, Huzi listened to everyone's narration, and was sure that this group of so-called thieves was actually forced by the government's forced taxes, because Kun and Qin Shou led several people clashed with the officials who collected taxes, thus injuring the lives of the three officials, lest they affect the whole village, so they took the whole village to the old and young, and went up to this wolf's head mountain to fall into the grass, and in the past few years, they have taken in a lot of displaced people around the mountain, and now there are no less than 200 people on the mountain, they reclaim wasteland outside the cottage, raise chickens and pigs, and are self-sufficient, but just a few years ago, the government sent an army to conquest, not only in the process of resisting the officers and soldiers died more than a dozen people, and injured dozens of people, and even ruined the crops outside the cottage, and the villagers cut off the food rations they relied on for their livelihood, so they went down the mountain to rob the passing pedestrians and merchants to feed the men, women and children of this village.

Just the day before Huzi Road met them, they also robbed a county lieutenant, and found a lot of gold and silver goods in the county lieutenant's bag, as well as the account books of bribes he exchanged with Shangguan, these people were already oppressed by the government, and because the officers and soldiers attacked and injured more than a dozen lives a few days ago, they were angry, so they killed the county lieutenant with a knife, and those servants and women and children did not hurt them, but just let those people flee.

Just because Zhu Lao Liu stepped on the plate and said that there was a little chick, who was tall and big, and it looked like he must be a rich man, and he should have the appearance of wealth, and a few people had the scene of going down the mountain to rob the tiger, but they didn't want to kick the iron plate and were scattered by the tiger.

In order to hide his shame, Qin Shou spit and boasted to everyone: "You don't know, Zhang Engong's martial arts are peerless in the world, and a pair of sledgehammers in his hands are among the thousands of catties, and a hammer will collapse my steel fork dozens of zhang high. ”

Zhu Lao Liu also depicted the eyebrows flying next to him, not wanting to be suddenly knocked on the skull by Qin Shou's chestnut explosion, Zhu Lao Liu's eyes turned black for a while, and he only heard Qin Shou scolded: "Zhu Lao Liu, it belongs to you the most undesirable thing, if it weren't for you, how could I be kicked by Zhang Engong's divine horse, then that's it, you actually saw death and didn't save it, so you ran away like this." ”

Zhu Lao Liu said aggrievedly: "Second Brother Qin, where are you talking about this, if it weren't for me, how would you have gotten acquainted with Zhang Engong, besides, if An hadn't come back quickly to find Brother Kun, you would have been crushed into meat sauce by Zhang Engong's sledgehammer." ”

Qin Shou smacked his lips and said sneeringly: "What you seem to say also has some truth, no matter what, anyway, you kid just have no righteousness." The crowd burst into laughter at the living treasures of the two.

At this moment, a minion ran in and said, "Report, Brother Kun, something is wrong, the officers and soldiers are here again, and it seems that there are no less than three hundred people." ”

Qin Shou was originally a frizzy person, so he picked up the steel fork and shouted: "Big brother, fight with them!"

Kunling also slapped the table: "These dog thieves are too deceitful." ”

After that, he hugged his fist at Huzi and said: "Zhang Engong, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can avoid it, wait for us to repel the official army, if there is still life, and then drink with you in a big bowl." ”

Kun Ling picked up the long lance beside him and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, what should we do if the officials and soldiers destroy my homeland, hurt my brothers, bully my parents, and don't give us a way to live?"

The crowd raised their swords, guns, and clubs in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Kill them all, and avenge the dead brothers." There was a burst of indignation.

"Everyone, and listen to a word. Although Huzi's voice was not loud, it still passed through everyone's voices and entered everyone's minds, and when everyone was stunned, they saw Huzi beckon, and the two sledgehammers placed at the door of the Juyi Hall flew into his hands like wings.

There was a deathly silence in the Juyi Hall, and if a needle fell on the ground at this time, the sound would be heard clearly, and Zhu Lao Liu grew his mouth even longer, and he couldn't close it for a long time, Kun Ling and Qin Shou looked at the two sledgehammers that flew into Huzi's hands with a shocked face, and they were stunned for a while as if they had been immobilized.

Huzi coughed lightly, and everyone woke up from their shock, at this moment they seriously Huzi is a god-like existence, no, it's a god!

Huzi's eyes swept down the crowd: "Don't panic, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Kun Ling saw the methods of the tiger, where would he refuse, I wish this immortal had taken action to destroy this group of officers and soldiers, and avenged them, so he hurriedly pulled Qin Shou and drank everyone: "You still don't kowtow to the immortals, ask the immortals to save our whole village!"

Everyone woke up like a dream, knelt down and kowtowed while shouting: "Immortals help, immortals help." "In a short period of time, Huzi has changed from a little Engong to Engong, and at this moment, he has become an immortal again.

Huzi followed Kunling and Qin Shou to the front of the walled gate, and saw from a distance a tall horse, holding a big sword, behind him was a team of officers and soldiers with bright armor and holding knives, guns and shields, and finally a team of archers with strong bows and crossbows.

Kun Ling secretly said that it was not good, this time the officers and soldiers actually dispatched archers, this time it was troublesome, he looked up at Huzi, and saw that Huzi's face did not change, so he was reassured.
