"Brother Shi, in fact, we are in the same year, but we are taking the Wenju exam, and Brother Zhou is taking the martial arts, and he will go to the capital with us at the beginning of next year to participate in the exam!"

The third floor of Daoxiang Building is very large, but there are only eight Tianzi boxes, each of which is aimed at one foot of Daoxiang Building, and opens two windows, so that you can overlook Pingfeng County, which is the most exclusive dining place in Pingfeng County.

Xiaoyou stood aside to serve, and the three of them sat down in turn.

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't expect Brother Shi to be so powerful, but I listened to it...... Wuju people are not only masters of martial arts, but also wizards of the art of war, and they are future generals!"

In this world, both civil and military are important, the literati are in the first class, the warrior kowtows to the gate of heaven, it is difficult to distinguish a high and low, even if the civil official suppresses the military general for a while, but if the military general breaks through the last level, the identity will completely change.

Those who can pass the martial arts examination are all first-class good players.

"Ming Yuan laughed!" Shi Tianze had his own pride, "The Lishui case is one of the two most famous demon murder cases in our Xiangjiang in the past ten years, and a total of twenty-three people died before and after, which is very different from the official announcement of nine lives!"

"Two?"

"I know this, one is the draining case three years ago, and the other is the disappearance of the Zhenjiang Water Temple nine years ago, Tianyang, you should know, we have many rivers and islands in the Xiangjiang River Basin, and the location of the Zhenjiang Water Temple is the place where the Xianghe River and the rivers converge, and the incense was also strong in the early years, but I don't know why it suddenly fell into ruin!" Zhou Mingyuan took over as he spoke.

"Nine years ago, there was a group of sons with their female dependents on a spring outing, passing through the Zhenjiang Water Temple, staying overnight for a day, the next day eight people disappeared, the people of the government looked for half a month, and finally under the guidance of a wandering Taoist priest, under an ancient tree not far from the water temple, more than 100 bodies were dug up, and the missing eight people were all in that pit! When they were dug out, the bodies of the eight people were entangled by the roots, and the blood did not seep out at all!"

Zhou Mingyuan obviously has the habit of understanding strange news, after all, living in this world, if you don't want to know these things, someone will tell you.

"And then?"

"The wandering Taoist priest proposed the method of burning the ancient tree on the spot, saying that the tree has become a refinement, if it is not burned before midnight, everyone present today will suffer, and the officials and people at that time are blinded, and the Taoist priest will say anything. Immediately ready to set fire to the tree, the strange thing is that the torch can not be lit, even if it is lit, it is either rain or wind, the weather is changeable in the afternoon, and in the end the ancient tree is not lit, and finally there is no way, the Taoist priest with three pig killers and a head shaver stayed in the Zhenjiang Water Temple, and the local officials immediately went to Xinghong Temple to find the great monk to ask for help!"

"What happened that night, no one knows so far, only know that when the great monk of Xinghong Temple arrived the next day, the Zhenjiang Water Temple had been destroyed, the Taoist priest was drained of blood and hung on the ancient tree, the pig killer and the head shaver were all crazy, seeing the scene at that time, the eight great monks of Xinghong Temple formed a circle around the ancient tree, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha, which made the officers and soldiers burn the tree!"

"The ancient tree burned to death, and the matter is not over yet. Xinghong Temple has not stopped, built the top Buddha temple on the site of the Zhenjiang Water Temple, and moved the golden body of the top Buddha master, and this is the end of the matter!"

Zhou Mingyuan dictated it very clearly, and obviously didn't know much about this strange news.

"I heard my master say this, saying that there was a female corpse buried under the tree, and the resentment entangled the tree to make the ancient tree become a fine, and then began to take revenge on the world, if it was not discovered early, the disaster may be even greater, you must know that even now, the top Buddha Temple will still open the altar every year! I have also participated, and I have seen the ancient tree that was burned to death!" Shi Tianze said with a little sadness, "I won't tell you that one of the eight people who died that year was my cousin, and it was precisely because I knew about this matter that I abandoned literature and martial arts!"

"Brother Shi Gaoyi!"

After listening to this story, Tong Tianyang couldn't help but think of Ruolan Temple in Liaozhai, isn't that an old tree causing trouble? Maybe the person who left this story back then also happened to experience this kind of thing.

"Don't give me a gold sticker, I'm just afraid of death, I'm afraid that one day I will die in vain. Shi Tianze raised his wine glass and drank it all, his bitter expression was self-evident.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about the draining case!" Seeing this, Zhou Mingyuan immediately took the topic aside, obviously he didn't know that Shi Tianze had such a past.

"The water draining case, and this matter is similar, many people think that the water monkeys did it, in fact, the water monkeys rarely harm people, they see people in the water, think that they have met their companions, pestering the people who fall into the water to play and play, but do not want people to be impassable, but once this problem is discovered, the water monkeys will drag people up and send them to the shore, the water monkeys in the water drainage case are the same, they not only did not harm people, but also saved a lot of people! This matter is not my nonsense, many people along the river know. Shi Tianze said, "In the Lishui case, the real victim was the first to die Liu Chuanfu, who raised a wicked man on an island overgrown with reeds, and was finally killed by the wicked man!"

"Qiu, it's a python with no horns on its head, it's vicious, it's ruthless, and it likes to hide in a place where it gathers yin. ”

"The boatman raises the horse?"

Tong Tianyang asked puzzled.

"Yes, the boatman is not an ordinary person, but an elder of an evil sect in the south, relying on the special environment of draining water to raise a fool, and if he commits many injustices, he will kill himself, and the evil man who has been abused by him for a long time has calculated the time, killed him in the water, lost his keeper, and the evil man has nothing to eat, so he swims out to make trouble, and this is the case of draining!" Shi Tianze didn't say a single thing and said something amazing.

Everyone thinks that water monkeys are harmful, but no one thought that this plot would be so tortuous.

"In order to kill the evil man, the masters of several nearby counties have gone, I am one of them, we spent ten days, found the evil man's hiding island, the reed island is full of corpses, white bones, compare the counties near Lishui, the number of missing people in the past few years, the number is very different!"

Shi Tianze said it simply, but everyone knows that this job is not easy to do.

"And then!"

"Removing the evil is a very dangerous thing, in order to avoid death, that day on the island are all good hands, I used a knife so I went up, the warrior monks of Xinghong Temple went up to eight people, a total of seventeen people, we first used the lamb under the sweat medicine as bait, the evil swallowed an hour later, we killed on the island, but even so, we are still not the opponent of the evil one, the weapon is cut on the body of the enemy, like cutting on the gold and iron, I still remember when the evil snake tail swept over, I was directly pulled out more than ten meters, if it was not a muddy river beach under the body, maybe I would have been killed by the fall！”

"In the end, the warrior monk of Xinghong Temple, who served the monk with his body, was swallowed by the evil beast and came to a center to bloom, which was removed, but even so, the warrior monk was not better, his whole body was corroded, and he did not leave a piece of good meat, and he lasted for two hours, and finally died in Lishui County!"

The Tianzi box was silent for a long time, Shi Tianze poured a few glasses of water and wine in a row, he felt earlier that he had walked out of the shadow of the draining case, but now it seems that it is obviously not, he knew that this would be the case, Tong Tianyang didn't ask, maybe he wouldn't tell this story.
