Bai Cheng saw that he was acting secretly, so he gently followed behind him and hung from a distance.

Cui Boyuan walked out of the alley, bypassed a street, walked towards the west of the city, walked a stick of incense, and came to the edge of the small river in the west of the city.

At this time, the night is dark, the shops along the street have been closed, only a wine shop by the river, still brightly lit, the water surface is sparkling, and a group of men in the wine shop are drinking and boxing.

Just as Cui Boyuan was passing by the wine shop, someone in the group of men suddenly raised his head, saw Cui Boyuan passing by, and shouted: "Isn't this Cui Er, the money you owe Zhao Ye, when will you pay it back?"

Before the words fell, a big man got up and rushed out of the wine shop with three or five men to catch Cui Boyuan.

Cui Boyuan heard someone shouting to pay back the money just now, but he didn't turn his head back, he ran away, and when he heard someone chasing after him, he worked his legs and ran desperately, but the burden behind him seemed to be a little heavy, unlike these men, who were brisk and surrounded after a while.

These four or five people surrounded Cui Boyuan in the middle, and a blue-faced man walked out slowly, and said: "Cui Er, I haven't seen you for a long time, our brothers went out to do business, and they haven't come back for more than half a year, but you are bold, listening to Zhao Ye's chatter, saying that your kid owes money, do you really want to die?"

Cui Boyuan said angrily: "Boss Zhao set up a bureau to deceive people, I don't go to report to the official, it's already cheap, and he dares to ask for an account!"

The blue-faced man sneered and said, "Report to the official, are you going to rebel? Break his legs for me, I see how he will report to the official?"

Before the words fell, several men around him had already rushed up and punched and kicked Cui Boyuan.

Cui Boyuan resisted twice at the beginning, but after a cup of tea, he couldn't resist it, he squatted down with his head in his hands, just beaten, and couldn't fight back, and after a while, he really couldn't bear it, and shouted: "Stop! I'm going to help the Taoist chief in the west of the city, and if I delay the Taoist chief's business, your lives are not enough to compensate." ”

The few people who beat him stopped when they heard this, turned their heads to look at the blue-faced man, and the blue-faced man sneered: "What kind of miscellaneous old man, I still want to scare your uncle, if I don't break your leg today, Lao Tzu will roll out from here." ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone behind me speak: "I'm afraid you have to get out today." ”

The blue-faced man was stunned when he heard this, and then roared angrily: "That person who doesn't have long eyes dares to come to entertain Lao Tzu?", before the words fell, he only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and fainted on the spot.

Several big men over there were beating Cui Boyuan, and suddenly heard a cry of pain here, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see the blue-faced man lying on the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and next to him stood a young man in blue cloth clothes, holding a wooden stick the thickness of a fist in his hand.

Seeing a few men turn their heads, the young man smiled and said, "I'm sorry for all brothers." ”

After that, the young man flew over and hit the back of his head with a stick, and after a while, he knocked several people unconscious, and then looked at Cui Boyuan, who was still squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, still not daring to raise his eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng smiled and said, "Second Brother Cui, why did you come here in the middle of the night to relax?"

Cui Boyuan didn't see anyone do anything for a long time, but at this moment he heard someone calling him, looked up and saw that it was Bai Cheng, sighed and said, "Why is Eleven Lang here? ”

Bai Cheng waved his hand and said: "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, but they can't talk about jokes, the younger brother sits quietly in the house at night, so he came out to look around, and saw a restaurant here from a distance, so he asked for a pot of wine, just now I saw the second brother passing by, and was about to call the second brother to drink together, but I didn't want this group of people to rush out, but I taught the second brother to be frightened." ”

Cui Boyuan said: "I was in a hurry, but I didn't see my brother." ”

Speaking of this, Cui Boyuan suddenly looked around, gasped and said, "These people are all brothers?

Bai Cheng smiled slightly and said: "We have been traveling for a long time as a businessman, and these two tricks are just a protective body. ”

Cui Boyuan sighed again and again, saying that I want to have two hits, and I won't be chased and beaten by these people.

The two chatted for a while, and Bai Cheng suddenly asked, "But I don't know where the second brother is going in a hurry?"

Cui Boyuan said: "Don't hide it from Eleven Lang, I'm going to the Taoist Temple in the west of the city." ”

Bai Chengqi said: "If it is said that the Taoist chief preached, he can naturally do it during the day, why do you have to go there in the middle of the night?"

Cui Boyuan gritted his teeth and said: "When others ask, the second brother will not say, since Eleven Lang asked, the second brother will not hide it, the scriptures taught by the Taoist chief during the day can be learned by everyone, and what is taught at night is the true scriptures, which can only be learned by those of us disciples who burn incense and enter the hall." ”

Bai Cheng smiled slightly and asked, "Since it is a true scripture, can the second brother make a recommendation and take me with him, so that he can meet a few Taoist masters?"

Cui Boyuan refused to agree at first, but he couldn't bear Bai Cheng's hard work, and because Bai Cheng had just saved him once, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Eleven Lang has to go, just come with me, I will fight the Taoist chief to punish him, and I will also think of letting Eleven Lang enter my door." ”

Bai Cheng followed Cui Boyuan one after the other, and walked towards the Taoist Temple in the west of the city.

Just as Cui Boyuan turned around, Bai Cheng reached out and picked up a stone from the ground, flicked it backhand, and woke him up on the jade pillow of the blue-faced man, before turning around and leaving.

The two walked more than two miles along the river, and came to a stone arch bridge, Cui Boyuan had just eaten a beating, and he was tired of walking at the moment, so he leaned on the bridge to rest.

Bai Cheng saw him stand, also standing on the bridge, looking into the water, only to see the murmuring water under the bridge, clear and transparent under the moonlight, a few fish floating quietly in the water, with the waves up and down, a few small stone lions on the stone arch bridge are cute and cute, like living creatures under the moonlight, I can't help but sigh in my heart, even though Jianghua City is more prosperous than here, but there is no such a small bridge and flowing water, but such a beautiful scenery, but some people turn a blind eye, it is really a thousand miles of horses, and Bole is not often.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, the two of them went on the road again, crossed the small bridge, walked another stick of incense, bypassed a pine forest, and suddenly a Taoist temple appeared in front of them.

Although this Taoist temple is not small, but hidden in a pine forest, if the living people come here, may not be able to find the way, the two of them passed through the pine forest, came to the main gate of the Taoist temple, only to see the black lacquer gate above, a golden plaque horizontally, on which is written "Xuanguitang" three big characters.

Cui Boyuan came to the door, one heavy and two light, knocked lightly, not long after, the door opened a crack, stretched out his head from the inside, this person saw that it was Cui Boyuan, and complained in his mouth: "Why did the second brother Cui come? Come in quickly, hey, why did the second brother bring people here, this can't come in." ”

Cui Boyuan pushed open the gate, rushed in with Bai Cheng, and said, "I will naturally know when I see a few Taoist masters." ”

Bai Cheng didn't know the details of several Taoist priests in Xuangui Hall, so he first transported the nameless mental method to restrain the qi and blood of the whole body, and then entered with Cui Boyuan.

The two of them walked through the front yard to the main hall, where many people were already seated.

Bai Cheng swept his eyes and saw a statue of a god in the main hall. Graceful and luxurious, it is a female fairy image, there are three futons under the statue, there are three Taoist priests sitting cross-legged, all wearing apricot yellow Taoist robes, the older ones in the center, full of white hair and bitter face, the Taoist priest on the left looks more than thirty years old, but on the right is a young Taoist priest in his twenties, with a cynical face, below the three Taoist priests, there are also seven or eight people sitting cross-legged, all wearing blue sermon robes, besieging a semicircle, surrounding the three Taoist priests in the middle, and then hugging and shouting outside to sit thirty or forty people, these people sit on the ground, but they are all poorly dressed。

As soon as the two of them entered the door, the young Taoist priest under the statue changed his face and said angrily: "Your disciple is so bold, you dare to bring outsiders here, do you really want to try the rules of the hall?"

Cui Boyuan didn't reply, just ran two steps in a row, threw the burden aside, knelt down in front of the three Taoist priests, and cried and said: "The three patriarchs are above, and the disciples were captured by the minions of the government when they came over today. ”

As he spoke, Cui Boyuan lay on the ground, crying nonstop.

Bai Cheng stood aside, secretly saying in his heart that he didn't expect the second child of the Cui family to have such acting skills, it was really a snake with a snake and a rat with a rat.

Seeing Cui Boyuan crying non-stop, the white-haired old Taoist in the center frowned and was about to open his mouth, and the middle-aged Taoist priest on the left opened his mouth first to speak: "Boyuan, don't be sad, there is a teacher for you to call the shots in everything, and you will talk about things slowly." ”

Hearing the middle-aged Taoist priest open his mouth, Cui Boyuan stopped crying and told what happened tonight, but he hid the part that was collected for debts, and exaggerated the fact that Bai Cheng was beating people with a big stick, saying how brave and invincible Bai Cheng was, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The middle-aged Taoist priest listened and said, "It's no wonder for you, you can sit down and listen to the scriptures." ”

Before the words fell, the young Taoist priest sneered and said: "How can there be such a clever thing in the world, it's not that you are timid and afraid of things, making things up, or a villain design, who wants to blend into our hall, Lu Jianshan, you don't want to be deceived by him!"

After that, the young Taoist priest didn't wait for the middle-aged Taoist priest to open his mouth, stood up with a "poof", pointed his finger at Baicheng with a sword, and shouted: "Tell me honestly, who sent you to dare to come to my Xuangui Hall to be a spy!"

Bai Cheng pretended to be resentful and said: "Where did the Taoist chief say, the villain is just a small businessman, and when he sees injustice, he draws a sword to help, where is a spy." ”

The young Taoist priest also kept Bai Cheng distinguishing, sneered slightly, took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, shook it out of thin air, spontaneously combusted without fire, and then flung it forward, a ball of fire flew straight towards Bai Cheng, this fire light rose when it saw the wind, it was only the size of a teapot at the beginning, and it was already the size of a wheel when it flew in front of Bai Cheng.
