Seeing that Wei Ye got a few more sturdy young people into Peach Blossom Village, fortunately he didn't die, and he was a local detective archer who was in charge of the robbery errand. Liu Taigong knew that these half-army and half-civilian archers were all bad to deal with, and their ability to steal chickens and dogs and make waves without wind and waves was not much better than those thieves and armies.

Now that Peach Blossom Village has been accused of "colluding with demons, killing people and sacrificing ghosts", and has been caught by these detective archers, he will be severely accused of it, so he can hope to get out of such a big case.

However, now that the situation is stronger than people, with Wei Ye such a living immortal who cannot be offended, Mrs. Liu had to accompany him to come over to see the salutes one by one, and sent his family to boil water and make tea, and everyone sat in the roofless hall of the Liu family.

At this time, Liu Taigong was also the role of a tainted witness, there were not many of him, not many of him, but he was still forced by Wei Ye to sit down on it - these people in Peach Blossom Village are still commanded by this old man.

In addition to Liu Taigong, needless to say, Lu Zhishen also has a seat, and then Yue Fei. As the leader of these detective archers, he has a bit of an official color, and Wei Ye attaches great importance to it, so he also sat opposite Lu Zhishen.

One monk, one old and one young, everyone sat down, and Wei Ye opened his mouth bluntly: "Pengju is a newcomer, and I don't know much about the situation here. Although Wei beheaded the opponent's foreign Dao Yuan Shen here, he didn't know the truth of this matter, and he had to tell me about it, Taigong Liu, how did this bandit on Peach Blossom Mountain become a demon who killed people and sacrificed ghosts?"

Mrs. Liu frowned and sighed: "My Peach Blossom Village is located in a remote area, and it is not the right road in the past, and it has never been very secluded. At the beginning of spring last year, I don't know where the two kings came, he was very good at kung fu with a fist and stick, and he got five or six hundred minions, repaired the fence of the walled gate, and occasionally went down the mountain to rob the passing merchants, and on weekdays, he looked for offerings to several villages under the peach blossom mountain. We didn't dare to offend him, so we had to send some grain, rice, meat and salt vegetables every month as filial piety, and the two kings accepted the filial piety, so they restrained the minions from disturbing us here, and everyone was still safe. ”

Lu Zhishen heard this, nodded and said, "It's that they are decent thieves." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she flattened her mouth and didn't dare to say anything, so she had to continue: "It's just that this spring, we came here with a half-crazy old monk who took a book of fate and came to the head of the little old man's door to ask for charity. The little old man had always believed in the Buddha and was kind, and when he saw that he was an old man and was so pious, he invited him to the house to eat and fast, and wanted to make merit with him with some money. I don't want the monk to eat fasting, but I don't want money, as long as I sign the book of fate. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu wiped his eyes and said, "Who knew that the book of transformation was written 'Raising four hundred households from Peach Blossom Village to be reborn in the Pure Land'. I read the book and realized that this monk was a madman, so I wanted to drive him out. Unexpectedly, the old monk was not anxious or annoyed, but held the book of karma and said with a smile, 'You fools, you are blinded by ignorance, and you don't know the compassion of my Buddha, so that's it.' But if the people of a village refuse to give, they will give charity to a daughter of the Tanyue family. 'I only have one daughter under my knees, and I am only nineteen years old, and I still expect to recruit a son-in-law to come to the door and send me to the end of my old age, how can I give up to this mad monk? ”

Wei Ye said: "This monk who has turned into a relationship can't turn into a village, not even the daughter of an old man, I'm afraid he won't give up." ”

Mrs. Liu sighed: "Mr. has a long-term vision, we just say that he is a crazy monk, and after beating him out of a stick, we only tell it as a joke." I didn't want to be half a month later, the monk led the two kings on Peach Blossom Mountain to come to me again, changed his clothes into a set of plain white robes, and rode a white horse. We thought that this monk and the kings had become military advisors, but we were afraid that he would hold a grudge and be a little inappropriate with us. The little old man was helpless, so he found some silver coins and silk, used them to hold them up, and told him to forgive. The monk sneered and said, "Tan Yue has a bad memory again, the old monk didn't want your money at the beginning, how can you ask for these things now." This time, I still have a good relationship with Tan Yue, and I want to build a Buddhist hall here to make merit. After that, he asked the two kings to lead their minions to repair the Buddha hall, and put a painting on the hall before they went. ”

Hearing Liu Taigong say this, Wei Ye's palm flipped over, and a picture scroll appeared on the bamboo slip terminal, which was the nondescript statue of the law: "This painting is hosted by the foreign Taoist gods, both demons and ghosts, not a good thing." Didn't the bald donkey leave this painting in Peach Blossom Village?"

Liu Taigong sighed: "My Emperor Bodhisattva! Isn't it just a mess? Since the Buddha Hall was built, every month and a half of the month, there has been no quiet in this peach blossom village. At first, it was the cats and dogs in the village, and they lost a lot of them in vain, and we thought they were stolen and eaten by passing flowers, and we didn't care. Two months later, they lost several people in a row, and they couldn't see anyone alive or dead. It made everyone panic, so they had to send the young man to walk around without sleeping at night. That night, someone was passing in front of the Buddha hall, but he heard a sound in the Buddha hall, he was a fine person, he didn't dare to come forward by himself, but called seven or eight people to follow and see, but saw the Buddha in the Buddha hall walked down, was stretching out many arms, grabbing a living person from the feet to eat!"

Lu Zhishen clapped his hands and said: "We have seen that monster, and our skills are too sparse, and they were cut to ashes by Mr. Wei, and we don't see any great powers." Seeing that the Sprinkle family sees that your belongings are also inexhaustible for several lifetimes, why don't you invite a mage with Taoism to come and take this monster away?"

Mrs. Liu shouted: "Buddha, you are a true immortal, how do you know the suffering of our Zhuang family! On the ground of our family, there is a Guanyin Nunnery, and there is a mage in the nunnery, whose family name is Long, and the family ranks twelfth, and he is a monk who lives in the fire, because he was born with a good Buddha appearance with a fat head and big ears, and we have always said that he has a Tao. We prepared a red wine ceremony and invited the dragon twelve to come over with his Buddhist sister-in-law to catch demons. The dragon twelve have been in the dojo in my village for several days, and the young chickens, fat geese, sweet wine steamed buns in the little old man's house, I don't know how much he has eaten, and he only reads the "Prajna Heart Sutra" upside down to our ears. In the fifteenth night, he took a wooden sword and a sword, saying that it was a divine soldier handed down by the Buddha, who was good at catching demons and subduing monsters, so he went to find the bad luck of the monster, but let the monster eat fat and greasy, but it made us stop for many months. His sister-in-law of Buddha also wanted to sue us for murdering her man, and she didn't give up with a lot of money, so we had no choice but to invite her to live in the Buddha hall for a night. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ye finally couldn't help but smile and said: "The old man is so decisive, if he is a few years younger, I am afraid that he must be a first-class person in Jia Xu! However, a group of thieves on Peach Blossom Mountain have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, how can they put such a great talent in front of them, and ask that demon monk to be a military advisor, it is really a pity." ”

Mrs. Liu had to laugh and say: "We were also forced to be helpless, and in the end we had to ask the monk for mercy." Unexpectedly, the monk refused to accept the painting, but only told us that if we wanted to live in peace, we had to take twenty-four living people to sacrifice the painting every year. If it is a talented, a person and an official person, then if you eat one painting, you can be quiet for three years, if you are a Taoist practitioner, then you can be quiet for two years if you eat one, if you are a smart and handsome virgin, you can be quiet for a year if you eat one, but they are much stronger than ordinary laypeople. ”

Wei Ye said to Yue Fei: "The demon who kills people and sacrifices ghosts is something that Zhao Da, the ancestor of this dynasty, had when he was an official. Zhao Daguan's family favors his patriotic uncle Wang Jixun, but Wang Jixun messes with a group of demon monks and eats human flesh alive for fun. Because he was a relative of the Heavenly Family, the Zhao Daguan family ignored the matter and waited until Emperor Taizong ascended the throne to behead this group of demons. During the time of Emperor Renzong, there was such a case in Bianjing again, but it was the evil young man of Bianliang who kidnapped the children of the good family, burned them with boiling oil and sacrificed them to the gods, and was played by Bao Xiaosu to the official family, and since then he has set the law of 'Ling Chi, who kills people and sacrifices ghosts'. Later, these people fled to various places, especially in Jingxiang and Fujian and Guangdong. The rule that murder and sacrifice ghosts are divided into three classes also existed at that time. Probably this generation hates people who study and become officials the most, and secondly, they hate cultivators for promoting good laws and breaking their rules of killing people and sacrificing ghosts. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ye changed his words and continued: "But in the past hundred years, whether it is Wang Jixun or the ghosts and demons who kill people and sacrifice ghosts, they have not had this kind of ability to make monsters like the characters here in Peach Blossom Village, at most, the local tyrants of Jingnan Fujian and Guangdong colluded with Wu Zhu to commit some cases. But this demon monk also subdued a group of thieves around him to lead him as Austrian reinforcements, and he was arrogant, but those dirt buns in Jingnan couldn't compare. Although it still looks like a village to protect itself, if it takes less time, I am afraid that it will be Wang Zezhi and others who borrowed Maitreya to start an incident in Beizhou......"

The king of Beizhou rebelled in the city of Shouzhou, which can be regarded as the most famous rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the king used the slogan of "Maitreya is born" to bewitch a large number of outlaws, relying on the strong city of Beizhou to resist for a long time. Wen Yanbo, who was ordered to quell the chaos, could only use money to smash out a wall and surround Beizhou City, which took more than a year to barely quell the chaos.

In the rebellion of Wang Ze in Beizhou, the Great Song Dynasty was able to take such a sum of money to repair the wall, and there were still famous ministers like Wen Yanbo who were willing to do things. But now in the Great Song Dynasty, the wealth of the Quartet converges towards Bianliang like flowing water, but it has turned into the flowers, stones, plants and trees of Genyue, and the palaces of gold and jade.

Xiangzhou is not far from Beizhou, which has now been renamed Enzhou, and it is all from Hebei, how could Yue Fei not hear about the old story of Wang Ze's rebellion? Wei Ye said it lightly, but Yue Fei's expression became more and more solemn.

When Yue Fei was silent, Wei Ye opened his mouth first: "Pengju, since you are a detective archer and do the work of detecting the traces of thieves, Wei will not force you to stay here." In this situation, someone always needs to report to the yamen, and if you don't have to worry about anything, just ask a few of your brothers to run for us?"

When these words came out, Niu Gao, who was obedient with his ears in the hall, suddenly jumped up: "This dare is good! Brother Yue, let's come out once, but we encounter such a great achievement, and we can't say that we will receive many rewards!"

However, Yue Fei looked at Wei Ye and shook his head: "Sir, since I am a detective archer, I should be a thief." If you only listen to the words of Mr. and Taigong, and don't see the truth, then you can't count. There are really thieves with wolf ambitions, Mr. is a monk, and this Peach Blossom Village is just a few villagers, but what to resist, we still have to stay. ”

Lu Zhishen listened, looked Yue Fei up and down twice, and said: "Little brother is kind-hearted and bold, but I will listen to you, we are not the monks who eat fasting and recite Buddha, and the Sprinkle family is the pre-official of the old seed of Yan'an Mansion who is slightly related to the public account, and because he killed a bird, he became a monk." I, Mr. Wei, am not the Taoist priest who burns yellow paper and plays with wooden swords, we are here, not to mention four or five hundred bandits, even one or two thousand big insects descending the mountain, and there is no need to be afraid of it. ”

Niu Gao still muttered below: "Straight lady thief, I said that this monk and Taoist priest don't look like good people, and it really is a good person!"

This time, there was no need for Yue Fei to give an order, and several brothers beside him pounced on him, covering their mouths and pulling their legs: "Niu Man, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"

Wei Ye didn't care about these little things, shook his sleeve, and took out the Dantian Liuzhu Flag. Xu Xuanling's eyes were quick, and he was busy going to the hall to take the Dantian Liuzhu Flag, and was waiting for Wei Ye to give the order, and in Peach Blossom Village, it was a different scene.

Liu Rui, the steward, took the lead, and the men and women, old and young, who could contribute, were all busy. Although Wei Ye just burned the roof and talked about punishment, but everyone didn't hurry up and pick it up, and when it was windy and rainy, they really didn't know where to live.

This night's accident is too strange and strange, if it weren't for the people of Peach Blossom Village, because of the cannibalistic Buddha painting now, they would have been as thick as a cable, but I am afraid that at this moment, in addition to burning incense and kowtowing, they will not be able to do other things.

Liu Rui was busy, he was sweating all over his body, he didn't care about it, took a wooden scoop, ran to the edge of the well platform in the village, fetched a bucket of water, scooped up the water and drank it.

While drinking, the manager of the Liu family in Peach Blossom Village couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This Peach Blossom Village, is it really unfavorable for feng shui? It's a thief and a demon monk, and now there are these Taoist priests who can't be offended! Look at the appearance of the first Taoist, he doesn't look like a compassionate person with dough, but he is very majestic." I'm afraid that this time, everyone will have to break a lot of money......"

Just as he was complaining in his heart, the hand that was holding the wooden scoop stopped, and he said to himself: "Straight thief, why does this water smell?"

When he was wondering, his sight fell suddenly, and he fell towards the dark wellhead, and the last picture left in his field of vision was a headless corpse next to the wellhead, swallowed up by a black mud-like thing in the blink of an eye!
