"Thank you, Master Wu. www.biquge.info Lin Qi smiled, "I won't tell you, this Xiaoyi of yours is the best one among the few in the neighborhood, it is well managed, there are so many businessmen in the backlog, and I haven't heard of any troubles." It was very popular, and the reputation spread to Shangfeng's ears, and Shangfeng once said that if Master Wu's small town could be maintained, he might be able to approve a village. When the time comes, you will be the chief of the pavilion. ”

The fat man became happy, and gave his hand again and again: "Borrow your auspicious words, borrow your auspicious words." ”

Lin Qi beckoned to the back and asked a few companions to prepare first.

"In this way, I will take the first step, before dark, there are still five or six gathering places to run, and next time I come over to visit Master Wu. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Brother, next time you come over, you will definitely have a big feast, and you won't get drunk and don't go home." ”

Lin Qi and Master Wu looked at each other and laughed, flew on their horses and galloped away with a few people.

The fat man stared at Lin Qi's back, the smile on his face gradually faded, and with a wave of his hand, he took the child off the high platform, and the surrounding businessmen couldn't wait to rush up.

The notice of the Forbidden Law Hall may be the only way out for them now, so how can they not care about it.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I'll read it to you!" The innermost merchant was pushed in a circle, and finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to cry out.

Feeling that the strength around him was a little smaller, he hurriedly read it out loud: "Tell my father and fellow villagers, there are bandits swarming in the sky, causing trouble around Yangzhou City, robbing and killing people, doing all kinds of evil, the number of more than 2,000 people, erratic, coming and going like the wind, I forbid the law hall for the people, send an army of 3,000, and send troops to fight." Now the range of 50 miles outside the Yangzhou city is drawn as a battlefield, and no one can approach it, so as not to be plundered by a swarm of bees on the horizon, or accidentally injured by the battlefield. Forbidden Law Hall Yangzhou Branch. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar around.

"Is this worth it? It will be turned into a battlefield directly! I look at this Shang Lu, don't figure it out within half a year!"

"What should I do? What should I do? My truckload of fresh fish, should it stink in the car?"

"Do you really want to go on a boat? But the water bandits on the river are haunted, and if they encounter them, they will lose all their money!"

"You don't have anything to lose, what about good things, you don't even have your life when you encounter water bandits!"

"Alas, let's go home! It seems that the business of Yangzhou City cannot be done. ”

"Brother Chen, why don't you and I return together, rent a big boat in Lincheng, and come to Yangzhou City by water?"

"But the bandits?"

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? You and I are both big caravans, with more than 300 carriages and horses, plus manpower guards, not to mention three or five boats, forming a fleet, as long as you are careful, those bandits will not dare to come!"

"That... Well, there's only one way, let's fight it!"

Everyone was talking about it, and more than half of them were inclined to charter a boat. The rest either shook their heads and sighed and prepared to go home, or they talked with their peers with small calculations, wanting to sell the goods to others at a low price.

But the merchant circled around looking for the fat man, but the fat man was nowhere to be found.

In the small courtyard of the landlord's house, the fat man sat in the front hall and drank tea slowly, frowning.

A thin old man in a green robe walked out of the back of the hall, and the fat man hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully: "I wonder if Mr. heard about what happened just now?"

The old man in the green robe nodded slightly: "You mean the Forbidden Law Hall?"

"Yes!" The fat man nodded: "This forbidden law hall is by no means simple, I have heard of Lin Qi, I heard that he is a cool official in Linxian County, a jailer in the family for generations, and is known for being ruthless and greedy for money." I heard that as long as he was in prison, there was no one who did not hate him! But on the contrary, he was alive and well, and this cannot but be admired!"

The old man in the green robe said: "But such a person is willing to do things for the Forbidden Law Hall, seeing that he has a basis for his actions, and he speaks quite a bit of discipline, obviously not a false and wrongful snake, this Forbidden Law Hall really has some doorways." ”

"There is no way!" the fat man sighed and said: "Uncle sent a letter, in the eighteen salt farms in Huainan, the salt has been piled up, but the merchants who buy salt have decreased in batches, and behind it is this forbidden law hall that is playing ghosts. My uncle asked me to find out about this matter, but now I can't even enter Yangzhou City, what should I do about it?"

"Is it true that you can't get in?"

"It's true that I can't get in!" the fat man said with a wry smile: "These days, I have used various methods to tell a path to leak out, and I have used the tricks that Mr. taught me to secretly promote the anger of the merchants and let them go to explore the way. However, eighteen caravans were sent away, but there was not even any news. ”

"Where's the waterway?"

"The waterway is even more evil!" said the fat man: "I have mobilized a total of five big boats, and they set off for Yangzhou at various times, but every time it takes less than half a day, the boats will come back by themselves." But not a single figure on the ship was gone, not to mention the merchants and goods, not even the boatmen who were holding the boat. It's as if a bunch of ghosts are piloting a ship and teleporting these back for us to continue giving away. ”

The fat man said, and he shivered instead.

The old man in the green robe frowned and said, "What does Master Fahe say?"

"Clean evil, you know, it's not uncommon for boats to walk in rivers and see blood. The ballast stone of the ship's hold alone is indispensable for several lives. But on the ship that came back, there was no ghost qi without a little bit of it, and even the usual yin qi and evil qi had dissipated completely. If it weren't for the same appearance, Fa and Master would have thought it was a new ship!"

The old man in the green robe muttered for a long time, "Keep sending! Send five or six water-based servants to each boat, and tell them to jump one and swim back every few miles." Go to the farthest point, try it repeatedly, and always find the key thing!"

"Yes! ”

"It's up to them, anyway, the news hasn't spread yet, and the businessmen behind will continue to come over, and we will be happy to have them die to explore the way. Remember, you have to hold the shelf, and now it's them begging you, not you. Beware of the details that reveal flaws. ”

The fat man nodded and said, "The kid understands, let's do it!"

Inside the tavern, several merchants returned dejectedly.

At this time, Tianliang had eaten all his fill, and was leaning on the table, difficult to pick his teeth with a chicken bone, Tiande was loading steamed buns into his baggage, and it seemed that he was going to continue his journey.

Seeing his movements, a businessman shook his head and persuaded, "Don't waste your efforts in vain, this Dao Chief, the notice of the Forbidden Law Hall has already been posted." Within 50 miles of Yangzhou City, it has been turned into a battlefield, and no one is allowed to pass. If you want to enter Yangzhou City, I think you still have to take the waterway!"

Tiande arched his hand and said: "Thank you for mentioning it, but the two of us are in our bodies, and we must enter Yangzhou City before sunset today, and now we will change the road and waterway, I'm afraid it's too late!"

The man frowned and said, "Why don't you little Taoist priest listen to people's advice! This is a battlefield in front of you! There are six or seven thousand people on both sides combined, and this knife and gun exchange are going back and forth, if you are caught up in it, how can you still die!"

Tianliang slapped the table and said loudly: "How do you speak, how can my senior brother be an ordinary person, the Liuding God Spell protects the body, the sword and gun are inaccessible, and the water and fire are inviolable, even if you are involved in the battlefield, what can you do, just kill the general." ”

Tiande hurriedly stopped him and arched his hand: "Thank you for your concern." Although I am not good at cultivating the two humane methods, I should still be able to protect myself. Tens of thousands of people are fighting, murderous, to detect with the art of hope, to dodge in advance, the mountains and forests are vast, there is always a road to Yangzhou City. ”

"Hey, the little Taoist priest still has such a ability? Can you take me with you? I'm just a relative, with only seven or eight horses and a dozen people around me, and I move lightly, unlike a big caravan with horses and horses. ”

"Well... Tiande Tianliang glanced at each other and nodded slightly: "Monks, it is convenient for them to be with others, so why not." It's just that after the two of us have achieved a small success, this is the first time to use it, and there is no guarantee whether it is negligent, in case there is a mistake, I hope that the layman will not be surprised. ”

"It's not strange, it's not strange to be walking outside, it's not uncommon for mandrill tree monsters to be lonely and wild ghosts, and there are even more bandits on the road, since we can get here, we still have some confidence in our own strength. As long as I don't encounter a large army, I have the confidence to retreat!"

Tiande nodded: "In that case, we don't have to delay any longer, let's go on the road immediately!"

The man opened his mouth, but before he could say a good word, a ragged man named Hanako suddenly rushed in from the end of his eyebrows.

"It's over, it's all over! It's all looted, more than a hundred samurai, more than 300 taels of gold, all gone. ”

Hanako knelt on the ground like a madman and cried, leaving everyone around her stunned.

A merchant tentatively took two steps forward, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... Brother Yuan?"

Tell Hanako to ignore it, crying desperately.

The merchant frowned and said, "Brother Yuan, can you calm down and tell us what happened?" Didn't you go home three days ago?"

Someone next to him sneered and said: "Do you still need to ask? At a glance, you can see that he has come halfway and regretted it! He had no face to go back on his words and came to Xiaoyi to continue to wait, so he could only take risks and was finally looted. However, he was able to escape with his life, and he was really worthy of a loach, slippery and hands-free, and even a swarm of bees in the sky couldn't catch him. ”

"There is a swarm of bees in the sky!" called Hanako shouted violently, with hatred in her eyes: "Heavenly Phoenix, I will never spare her!"

Tiande frowned and said to Tianliang: "His heart has been severely damaged, you go and recite a few words of pure heart mantra to him." ”

Tianliang nodded, walked forward with a full hiccups, pinched a sword trick loosely in his right hand, muttered a few times in his mouth, and suddenly a blue light popped up, and it was called Hanako's eyebrows in the middle.

Hanako shivered, and her expression gradually calmed down.

He looked up at the dawn and solemnly clasped his fists in salute. He breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

The merchant said again: "Brother Yuan, can you tell us all about the past?"

Asked Huazi to wipe her face, and said with a wry smile: "My heart is hurt, let everyone see the joke!" That brother Tai is right, I can't live by myself, I recklessly led the caravan into the dense forest, and wanted to go around Yangzhou City from a hidden path, but I was made up by a swarm of bees in the sky, and even people and goods were looted. ”

"How did you get out of it yourself?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I was cold at night that day, and I had unbearable colic in my abdomen, so I happened to find a secret place to pay tribute, so... Hanako smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Did Brother Yuan see how many people were swarming in the sky?"

My caravan, including the coachmen, the guards, the servants, and the executioners, add up to only one hundred and fifty people, but only fifty-five people can really fight and kill, and there are exactly fifty-five people who are swarming on the edge of the sky. It appeared like the wind, dispersed quickly, quickly subdued the guards, and then escorted everyone into the dense forest. ”

The old man stepped forward, put a basin of water in front of Hanako, took two steamed buns from his daughter-in-law and put them on the table next to him, pointed to the steamed buns and pointed at him, smiled and turned to leave.

Hanako gave her hand gratefully: "Hurriedly scoop up the sweat towel and wipe her face." ”

Tiande admired in his heart, took out a silver coin in the hand of his son and daughter-in-law, smiled and pointed to the flower child, and raised a finger and gently put it on his lips.

The daughter-in-law, who looked to be forty years old, smiled and nodded, pushed the silver coat back, and pointed at the old man.

Tiande nodded, smiling even more happily.

People in the world have good intentions, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it is good.

A few businessmen were still around the man called Hanako, asking about all kinds of details, Tiande listened for a while, and saw that the man was talking about the same thing over and over again, and there was no other useful news, so he stopped listening, said hello to his junior brother, picked up his baggage and prepared to leave.

Tianliang said: "Senior brother, don't you wait for that person?"

"No, he'll follow if he wants to!"

The merchant who had just discussed that he wanted to go with him stood up with a smile, turned around and gave an order, and two small servants ran out.

Xiaoyi was originally established temporarily, all the goods were from the landlord's family, buy some wine, open a small gambling house, and get some groceries and seasonal fruits, seven, seven, eighty, eight and eight add up to only five or six shops, through the center of the high platform, walked less than a mile, has walked out of Xiaoyi.

On the path, before entering the edge of the forest, more than a dozen men were already waiting there.

The merchant at the head arched his hand, smiled and did not speak, and the others did not speak, they all looked at the Taoist priest suspiciously, as if they did not believe that they could take themselves through the forest to Yangzhou City.

Tiande didn't speak at dawn, Tiande didn't speak because there was nothing to say at all, and he had already said it in advance what he needed to tell, and the next thing was just walking.

Tianliang didn't speak, because he was too full, one chicken and four steamed buns, plus two large bowls of tea, he felt that his throat and eyes were bubbling, for fear that a mouthful of water would rush out.

A few people walked in the woods, the path was winding and rugged, with many forks, and at first you could see the horseshoe marks of ruts, but after a few turns, they actually walked out of the road and walked directly through a bush. (To be continued.) )
