Linqingzhou is located at the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, north and Beijing, west to Luoyang, south to Hangzhou, has "prosperous pressure two Beijing, rich Jiaqi County" said, the population is known as one million, known as the world's first wharf, the world's granary, is the country's famous commercial metropolis.

The poet Huangfu Shu once wrote "Linqing New City Tour" and said: "You don't see, Qingyuan will be the world's nothing, yesterday to build the west of the city to prepare Hu, the long river ten miles of thousands of ships, is to know the guarantee for the good map." The Ge boat faintly crosses the river, and the steaming glow shines on the double flying building. Huajing Dingzhi competes for strength, and the air pressure is one hundred and two in the state. Words in the Qibo River, left and right sails to read the pheasant. The first ones are in chaos, and the red waves and green trees are singing. My emperor has been hanging his clothes for 20 years, and the jade silk group is a literary ceremony. Bian Tou Yan and slightly unprepared, between the Jin Dynasty nearly many bases. The Jintang Committee lost the long-term Gu, and the city was glorious. It is also heard that Anshi goes down to the East Mountain, and there are horses to drink the river water. ”

"Huh!" Dong Rengui and his entourage got off the boat, walked along the bustling crowd for a while, and came to the square in front of the Yangong Temple.

"Dong Lang, what's wrong?" Du Yu on the side called Dong Rengui, and when he saw that he didn't react, he pushed him and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I see that horse weird. Dong Rengui suddenly came back to his senses when he was pushed by Du Yu, shook his head and said: "That horse is neither alive nor dead, I don't know where it came from!"

"Neither life nor death?" Du Yu couldn't help but look at the horse Dong Rengui was referring to curiously, "That's an ordinary horse, except that the tail is burned, it's no different, right?"

"You can't see the difference. Dong Rengui smiled: "There are some things that cannot be seen with the naked eye......

"Brother Dong likes that horse?" Li Chao, who came from afar, saw Dong Rengui and Du Yu pointing at a horse, and did not move for a long time, thinking that Dong Rengui liked that horse, so he thought: "Brother Dong has taken good care of me along the way, not to mention the martial arts skills that have taught me many times, and also taught me a set of footwork and a set of grappling fighting methods, I have long been thinking about giving him a gift to show my heart, but I don't know what he likes, and now that I find out that he likes that horse, how about I buy it and give it to him?"

With this in mind, he strode towards the shabby scholar who rode the scorched-tailed horse, intending to buy it.

“...... If it is an ordinary horse, unless it is old, weak, sick and disabled, it is generally full of light in its eyes, how can it be dim......" Dong Rengui was explaining the difference between the horse and Du Yu, when he suddenly found that Li Chao actually walked in front of the horse, talked with the owner of the horse twice, and then quarreled.

"Let's go over and see what's going on!" Seeing that Li Chao and the horse owner had a conflict, Dong Rengui frowned and pulled Du Yu over.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" When Dong Rengui walked over, Li Chao and the horse owner had already been surrounded by people watching the excitement, looking at the onlookers, he immediately took Du Yu and separated the crowd into the circle, grabbed Li Chao, who was about to start beating people, and said, "What happened?"

"They bully us outsiders!" Li Chao, who was held back by Dong Rengui, pointed indignantly to a few people around the horse owner: "Do you think that there are many people?"

"What's going on?" Dong Rengui's eyes were cold, and he looked at the few people surrounding the horses.

"It's all a misunderstanding. The shabby scholar who was holding the horse in the crowd smiled bitterly and said, "Just now this strong man wanted to buy the horse in Zaixia, but because the horse is not mine, he said that he would not sell it......"

The scholar explained: "Zaixia's surname is Cui, and he is a native of Linqingzhou, and I don't know whose family this horse is......"

"Brother Dong, listen. Li Chao angrily interrupted Cui Shusheng's words, pointed at him, and said: "He was riding a horse, and he actually said that he didn't know who the owner of the horse was! You don't know who the owner of the horse is, how could the horse fall into your hands? Could it be that you stole it?"

"Oh, that foreigner barbarian, who are you spitting feces all over your mouth?" Before Cui Shusheng could speak, several companions around him pointed at Li Chao angrily and scolded angrily, rolling up their sleeves as if they were going to beat someone.

"Who are you talking about?" Li Chao is not good at stubble, and when he heard this, he suddenly exploded, and he stepped forward to beat and scold him.

"Brother Li and assistant!" Dong Rengui frowned, reached out and lifted Li Chao's back collar and carried him back to the place.

"Oh, the foreigner is going to beat people, the foreigner is going to beat the locals, the local men of Linqing are ......" The young man who was taken aback by Li Chao's actions shouted loudly, until he was snorted by Dong Rengui's cold drink and quieted down like a duck choked by the neck.

"Shut up!" Dong Rengui snorted coldly at the babbling young man, making him quiet for an instant, and suddenly said to Cui Shusheng: "You continue!"

"Yes!" Cui Shusheng was taken by Dong Rengui's momentum, and said resignedly: "This horse often appears near my house, and I don't see anyone to take care of it, I want to go to Shanxi recently, but I don't have a horse, so I grabbed it, tied the reins, and planned to ride to Shanxi, before leaving, I have told my family, if there is someone looking for a horse, say I am riding to Shanxi......

After listening to Cui Shusheng's explanation, everyone quieted down.

"I see!" Dong Rengui nodded and said, "Then can you take me to the place where this horse appeared?" ”

"This," Cui Shusheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay!"

took Dong Rengui and his party to their home

Cui Shusheng's house was not far from the pier, and everyone walked for a while to arrive. His home was simple and poor, the courtyard wall was dilapidated, and there was a lawn in the yard.

"Is this the place?" Dong Rengui asked as he walked around, looked at his surroundings.

"Yes, this is it. Cui Shusheng nodded.

"What kind of family is this family next to you?" Dong Rengui asked after turning around, looking at the east neighbor of Cui Shusheng's house.

"Oh, this is the Zeng family, an ordinary family. Cui Shusheng saw Dong Rengui ask about the eastern neighbor, and said with some surprise: "His family has always been ordinary, his life is very tight, and I have never seen a horse in his family!"

"Hehe, just go in and see. Dong Rengui smiled and walked towards Zeng's house.

After the group came to explain the reason, they were invited into the door by the Zeng family. When he entered the master's room, Dong Rengui's first sight fell on a painting hanging on the wall.

This is a painting of a horse by Chen Ziang, one of which is very similar in color to the horse, and the hair on the tail is burned a little by the incense.

Seeing this painting, Dong Rengui suddenly realized that it was the horse in this painting who had gained spirit and turned into a demon.

Thinking of this, Dong Rengui was going to find the master to buy the painting, and when he was looking for the master, a young girl suddenly appeared and stepped forward to take off the painting......
