Ruan Zun and Ou Peng left the boundary of Huangzhou, continued through the An Fengjun on the Huainan West Road, passed through the Huainan East Road, passed Shouzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou and other places, and then went north through Yanzhou, Tai'an Army, and finally entered the Jeju boundary.

As soon as he entered the Shandong area, Ruan Zun was in a trance.
When he entered the boundary of Jeju Prefecture and saw a huge stone monument on the right side of the official road, with two big words "Jeju" engraved on the tablet, he was even more at a loss, as if everything in front of him was a blurry ghost.
Maybe it's because of his hometown timidity, and his heartbeat has been beating irregularly. I haven't been back for nearly ten years, and many of my hometowns have long been forgotten. However, the invisible pull in the blood made him feel it deeply when he stepped on this land.
Listening to the local sounds of passers-by, eating hometown-style meals, and smelling the smell of plants and trees, Ruan Zun was excited.
That's right, this is my hometown.
Whether it is in a past life or in this life, here, my hometown.
This trip to the north, for Ruan Zun, is not so much an experience, but a journey to find his roots.
"Young master, you, why are you crying?" Ou Peng's surprised voice sounded in front of him. Subconsciously wiping his eyes, Ruan Zun realized that he had burst into tears.
"There is wind, and the sand is blowing in my eyes. He said, rubbing the ground, but there were more tears. After all, he was just over seventeen years old. From one world to another, the same helplessness, the same hardship, it has been a long time, but it seems like it was just yesterday......
It's like a world away.
Ou Peng looked at him suspiciously, but did not speak. He's stupid, but he's not stupid.
"Let's go. Finally, Ruan Zun wiped away his tears, strode over the stone monument, and walked forward.
There are many spiritual priests who come and go on the official road of Jeju Prefecture, and from time to time you can see one or two people in the clothes of the Demon Suppression Hall hurrying by. Ruan Zun spent some money and found out some news from the mouth of a passing Demon Suppression Hall Spirit Master.
Ever since the year before last, a huge black demonic aura fell from the sky and landed on Yangsanpo, Yangshan County, Jeju Prefecture, there has been a miraculous change in Yangsanpo and its vicinity for 800 miles. This Liangshanbo was originally a huge natural lake, known as a radius of 800 miles, the lake is full of tall reeds, the harbor is lined up, overlapping and winding, just like a natural huge green labyrinth. After the demonic energy fell from the sky, the lake at least doubled in size, and the lake swelled, flooding many of the original tidal wetlands. The reed-swamping vegetation has also skyrocketed, almost as tall as a tree.
In the middle of this Yangshan berth, there is a large island isolated from the outside world, called Yangsan. It is rumored that the demonic qi descended that day, and it was falling at the junction of the foot of Liangshan Mountain and the Liangshan Bohu Lake, so on this Liangshan, the original birds and beasts also became evil and abnormal. As for the specifics, not much is known to the outside world. After the demonic qi descended from the sky that year, the Demon Suppression Hall acted quickly, besieging Liangshanbo with heavy troops, and outsiders were not allowed to enter without reason. It is said that there is a group of bandits and grass bandits on Liangshan, and it is not known what the truth is.
After a little rest and a meal in Jeju Prefecture, although it was nearly late, Ruan Zun still couldn't suppress his excitement, left Jeju Prefecture, passed through Yangshan County, and walked briskly towards Yuncheng County in the southwest.
"Young master, listen to that person's words, there are still one hundred and eighty miles away from Yuncheng County here, and if you walk like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to reach Yuncheng in the middle of the night. Ou Peng said, "Why don't we find a place to rest first, and then go tomorrow." It's late at night, even if you go, it's not good to call the door, and it's easy to cause misunderstandings. ”
"Ou Peng, you don't understand my feelings. Ruan Zun said, "If you have experienced those things that I have experienced, you will understand how rare it is to have a homeland in your heart, roots, and dreams." ”
Ou Peng is not good to persuade again.
The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and when they entered the boundary of Yuncheng County, it was already late at night, and it was almost time. The two lit torches and hurried all the way, and they were also arrested by the night patrol and the local Demon Suppression Hall people of Jeju Prefecture many times, and only after lighting the token of the Demon Suppression Hall did they pass safely.
As one of the county towns on the edge of Liangshanbo, Yuncheng County is even more heavily guarded. When he arrived here, Ruan Zun let out a long breath and stayed in an inn with Ou Peng. There are also people in the Demon Suppression Hall and the official government to catch them quickly, and they were interrogated, and in the complaints of the shopkeeper and the guys, they lived in.
The guy gave the two of them a night snack, and was about to go out, when Ruan Zun threw him a big ingot of silver, "Little second brother, wait a minute, I have something I want to inquire about." ”
The man's eyes lit up, and he held the silver in his hand. In recent years, due to the Liangshanbo incident, the local situation has been unstable, and the number of guests has decreased sharply, and the income of the inn has also decreased significantly, and his own income is also very small. The reward of such a large ingot of silver has not been passed for a long time.
"Young Master, just ask. The villain has been running errands in this inn for many years, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, but the news of this coming and going from south to north is really understood. He said confidently.
"Do you know about Liang Shanbo?" asked Ruan Zun.
"Yes! Of course I know!" the guy said busily, "This matter is not called a matter at all, young master, you can find a person from Yuncheng County, and you can tell you one, two, three! However, the villain must know more than others!"
"Okay, then tell me. ”
The guy sat down and talked eloquently, "Since you asked, young master, the villain is not afraid to talk too much." Now this Liangshanbo, due to the long-term siege of the people of the Demon Suppression Palace, there is no news, and the people from the outside world only know that the demonic qi descends from the sky, and the people of the Demon Suppression Hall are trying to eliminate the influence of these demonic qi, and they have also captured extremely powerful demonic beasts in Liangshanbo. But one of the villain's relatives was on an errand in the Demon Suppression Palace, and he revealed some things about Liang Shanbo to the villain in private. For the sake of the young master's silver, the villain can reveal a little bit about it. ”
"The place I want to ask is related to Liangshanbo, but not in Liangshanbo. It's on the edge of Liangshanbo, and there's a Shijie village, you know?"
The guy thought for a while, and his face was embarrassed, "Young master, you are asking the villain, Shijie Village is too far away from the city, and it is on the edge of Liangshanbo, and it is also a place where people from the Demon Suppression Hall often come and go, so it is really inconvenient to inquire about the news." ”
Ruan Zun frowned, and asked again: "Then let me ask you another thing, do you know that there is a Songjia Village?"
"I know, I know!" this time the guy nodded busily, "That Songjia Village is one of the richest places in the county, and Song Taigong, the village owner of Songjia Village, is the financier that even the county lord has to rely on!
Oh, Song Jiang, Brother Song?
Ruan Zun was overjoyed, and he was going to inquire about Song Jiang's news before, but he didn't expect that any guy from a county inn would be able to reveal it unintentionally. It seems that Brother Song is really good in this Yuncheng County.
Shijie Village doesn't know how to do it now, but since Brother Song is the director of the Public Security Bureau, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and the director of the Bureau of Justice in the county, he must be in the county at this time and has not returned to the village.
"Dude. Ruan Zun took out another ingot of silver, "Then Song Zhusi, can you find it now?" Go to him, call here, say that a person surnamed Ruan Zun in Xinzhou is called Ruan Zun, and invite him to come over for a drink!"
