After Yi Dan, Agu Qiyu and Zuo Zhutian returned to Shenghai Town, Yi Dan took off his fur hat and said to Agu Qiyu: "Brother Agu, without further ado, let's hurry up and act separately now." Please go back to the inn to find Lin Xiao and ask her to mobilize the people here. Zuo Daxia and I went to Shengji, and we went back to the inn to meet in the evening. ”

Aguchi said: "Okay, no problem, you two can go with confidence." ”

Yi Dan and Zuo Zhutian came to Shengji City, and after several inquiries from passers-by, they easily found the shop called 'Rongzi Salt Shop'.

Far outside, you can see a few men busy carrying salt. And Rong Li put on a fur coat, baked a brazier on the counter, and played with the abacus to settle accounts. His wife, Xiao Shi, and son Rong Mian, were in the place where the salt was stacked, directing the men. The family is happy and looks extremely happy.

Yi Dan and Zuo Zhuotian walked to Rong Li's counter, Rong Li, who lowered his head to settle the accounts, didn't notice it at all, Zuo Zhuotian opened his mouth to greet Rong Li: "Boss Rong is busy." ”

Rong Li looked up and saw Zuo Huatian and Yi Dan standing in front of him, he immediately stopped the abacus in his hand, and said happily with wide eyes: "It turns out that the two benefactors are here, Rong Mou has lost his welcome, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Hurry up, please sit on the kang. With that, Rong Li turned his head and shouted to his wife and son: "Madam, Mian'er, come here quickly, our benefactors are here." ”

Xiao and Rong Mian walked over, and Xiao smiled and said, "The slave Rong Xiao has seen two benefactors. Mian'er, come over and see your benefactor Zuo Daxia, last time thanks to Zuo Daxia for saving you. ”

Rong Mian jumped over and said happily: "Under Rong Mian, thank you for Zuo Daxia's life-saving grace." ”

Zuo Daotian said: "You're welcome, hoeing the strong and helping the weak is a matter for people in my rivers and lakes, and you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Rong Li said to Yi Dan: "Sister Yi, you are here too." In the past few days, I have always thought about the things along the way, and I really want to go to Taibai Mountain to find you. It's a pity that my parents didn't allow it. Hey..."

Yi Dan said: "Thank you Rong Gongzi for your concern, I miss you all very much, may I ask Rong Gongzi, are you feeling better?"

Father Rong Li hurriedly replied: "It's all right, it's all right." Since the expulsion of the Gu poison, our family Mian'er has returned to its former sensibility and kindness, and the great grace of the two Rong Li is unforgettable, please accept Rong Li's worship. Saying that, Rong Li was about to kneel down and bow, Zuo Zhutian and Yi Dan hurriedly stopped Rong Li.

"Rong senior, please don't be polite. As the saying goes, evil prevails over good. As long as all the good and righteous people in the world are united, I believe that all evil forces will be defeated. ”

"Yes, evil is invincible, Miss Yi is right. Oh ma'am, hurry up and serve tea to the two benefactors. With that, he turned his head and said to Mrs. Xiao.

Zuo Xuantian hurriedly said: "Oh, no need, we are here today to ask for something, and I hope that Boss Rong can make it convenient." ”

"Zuo Daxia doesn't have to be polite. The two of you are the great benefactors of my Rong family, as long as you two tell me, I will do it for you. I don't know what Zuo Daxia has to do to serve below?" asked Rong Li.

Left Scratch the Sky and said, "Oh." We don't need you to go to the soup, we want to borrow some salt from you. ”

"It's a trivial matter, Zuo Daxia, you are too polite and humble, you are my benefactor. How can you say that you have borrowed salt? I will give you as much as you want. Rong Li said.

Yi Dan hurriedly answered: "Senior Rong, here's the thing. There is a martial arts predecessor who was taught by the Great Virtue Sect Leader Huang Yuetian. Trapped on a small island where Gu insects are raised, we want to pave the road with earth to save them, but the soil is damp, and we are afraid that the locusts will still climb the road, so we want to borrow some salt from you and sprinkle it on the road. In this way, they will be able to come safely. It's just that you may need a little too much salt, and we can't think of any other way for a while because of the heavy snowfall, so we're here to ask you for help. ”

"I see, how much salt do you want, but you can open your mouth. Rong Li said.

Yi Dan thought for a while and said, "I did a rough calculation, it will take about sixty or seventy stone of salt. ”

Rong Li's eyes widened and he thought for a while and said, "I now have a total of fifty stones in this salt shop, and I will go to other salt shops to collect fifty stones for you, and make up enough for one hundred stones, and you have to pave that road tightly, what do you two think?"

Yi Dan's eyes widened, he didn't expect the salt merchant Mr. Rong Li in front of him to be so generous, so he said gratefully: "Great, thank you Senior Rong for your righteous support, I have three taels of gold here, which is also a gift from a righteous friend before, I have been reluctant to use it, you take it first, if it is not enough, I will think of another way to make enough money for you." ”

Rong Li waved his hand and said solemnly: "What do you think of me Rong Li? If you give me money, I won't give you this salt." ”

"This..."Yi Dan didn't know what to do.

Rong Li continued: "The two of you saved my son, this kindness is higher than the sky and the sea. Even if I let Rong Li risk my life, I will not give up, let alone a few stones of salt here?"

Yi Dan said: "But Senior Rong, you make a living from this salt trade, if we empty your salt, how should your salt shop continue to operate?"

Rong Li said: "It's okay, I'll just ask the salt official for some rations, it's a big deal that the people of Shengji City will eat less salt this winter." You are eradicating demons for our Bohai Kingdom, and I will support you no matter what. ”

Yi Dan didn't expect this salt merchant Rong Li to be so generous and righteous, so he thanked him: "Thank you Senior Rong, you understand the righteousness, I am here to thank you for the people of Taibai Mountain!"

Rong Li said: "The two heroes don't need to be polite, when will the hundred stone salt be delivered?"

Yi Dan said: "If it's faster, how long will it take to adjust?"

"It can be done in two days at most. Rong Li replied.

Yi Dan said: "Okay, may I ask Senior Rong, do you have carrier pigeons?"

"Oh yes, we business people just want to keep abreast of supply and demand news, how can we not keep a few carrier pigeons with us. Rong Li said.

Yi Dan said: "Okay, I'll bring a carrier pigeon back in a while, and if we set a specific time, I'll fly the pigeon and pass it on to you." Please send the salt to Taibai Mountain in time, we have our own response, what do you think?"

"Alright, no problem, just do it. As soon as I received the letter, I sent a hundred stone of salt. Rong Li said.

Yi Dan thought for a while and said, "Oh yes, let's transport all the salt up the mountain, do you think there is any easy way to do it quickly and effortlessly?"

"It's easy, I'll just take some pulleys and rope and hang myself from the bottom of the mountain. Rong Li said.

Zuo Daotian said: "Okay, there is Boss Lao Rong in this matter!"

"Where, where, I don't have much ability, but I can still afford this little strength. Is there anything else you need to do next?" asked Rong Li.

"Oh. No, the other thing is very simple, we've already figured out a way. Yi Dan said.

"Okay, may I ask if a few heroes will uproot the Great Virtue Sect this time?" Rong Li asked.

"Well, that's what we're going to do. Yi Dan said.

"That's great, as long as I can eradicate the scourge of the Great Virtue Sect for my Bohai Country, I will support you even if my family is bankrupt. Rong Li said.

"It's really hard to accommodate the seniors. Yi Dan said.

At this time, Rong Mian on the side said, "Dad." I'll be there next time I carry salt, right?"

"Okay, you can go too, but be careful, the Great Virtue Sect is extremely evil. We can't do it again like last time. Rong Li said.

"Dad, don't worry, didn't the Divine Dragon Medicine King say it last time, as long as you wipe your body with concentrated salt water, you can prevent Gu worms from getting in. We all have to be prepared in advance. Rong Mian said.

Yi Dan said: "What Gongzi Rong said is right. Please allow everyone to wipe their bodies with concentrated salt water before sending salt, just in case. ”

"Well, okay. Thank you Miss Yi for reminding me, Rong remembered. Rong Li said.

At this time, Shaw brought the carrier pigeon and said, "Two, the carrier pigeon is here, please bring it to you." ”

Yi Dan took the pigeon cage and looked at it and said: "Well, that's it for the time being, we still have something to do and leave first, thank you three!"

"Okay, two heroes, please go slowly. Rong Li's family of three stood at the door and waved goodbye.

In this way, even if Yi Dan borrowed salt, he and Zuo Zhutian quickly returned to the inn in Shenghai Town.

At this time, Aguqi and Lin Xiao also walked back to the inn dejectedly.

After Lin Xiao saw Yi Dan, he hurriedly asked, "Sister Yi, you came back so soon, have you borrowed salt?"

Yi Dan took the one in his hand and showed it to Lin Xiao and said: "I borrowed it, you see, we brought back the carrier pigeon, and when the time comes, we will use the flying pigeon to pass the book to agree on the time to send salt." How are you doing? Have the villagers agreed to help?" Yi Dan asked.

Lin Xiao said embarrassedly: "Hey, I'm really sorry, it's because I don't have the ability to persuade them." ”

After hearing this, Yi Dan asked very puzzledly, "Why? Didn't you tell them that we were here to eradicate the Great Virtue Sect?"

Lin Xiao said: "That's right, that's why they avoid us." ”

Aguchi on the side said: "Maybe they are afraid of getting into trouble." ”

Lin Xiao: "Yes, they all seem to be afraid of the obscenity of the Great Virtue Sect, and none of them dare to agree to us." ”

When Yi Dan heard this, he said angrily: "How can this be true, it is because these people are too kind that they are arbitrarily bullied by these evil rats. Let's go and try again. ”

Lin Xiao asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to those villagers, I want to convince them and ask them to help us save people. Yi Dan said.

"But those villagers said that if we fail, they are afraid that the Great Virtue Sect will retaliate against them in the future. Lin Xiao said.

Yi Dan thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed true. Brother Agu, do you think that we should think about it in the long run, and save people and fight against the great evil cult, can we do it at the same time?"

Zuo Huatian thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay, so that the problem can be completely solved, and those villagers won't be frightened and dare not help us." ”

"Zuo Daxia is right, I will go to those villagers again now, tell them the news, and hope that they can help us eradicate the Dade cult together. ”

Lin Xiao said: "Okay, Sister Yi, then I'll take you with me again." ”

Under the leadership of Lin Xiao, Yi Dan and the others came to the door of a villager's house at the foot of Taibai Mountain. It was an old man about fifty years old, and the old man was carrying a basket of forage, which should have been ready to feed the livestock, but when he saw Lin Xiao going and returning, he hurriedly returned to the house and closed the door.

"Knock knock" Lin Xiao knocked on the door and asked, "Uncle Li." Uncle Li, open the door, I'm Lin Xiao. ”

The house responded: "You go, don't waste your efforts, I won't go." ”

Yi Dan stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiao said: "This old man's surname is Li, I came to him just now, but he was resolute and didn't agree to help us." ”

Yi Dan asked, "What is the reason?"

Lin Xiao said: "His wife was beaten to death by the Dade Sect, and his son was also taken away. I guess he probably didn't dare to accept our request because he was afraid of the Great Virtue Sect. ”

Yi Dan said: "That's good." Let me try. ”

After that, Yi Dan came to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said to Uncle Li inside: "Uncle Li, my surname is Yi, and I am from Zhongyuan, can you please open the door and listen to me say a few words?"

Uncle Li's voice came from inside: "Go away, I don't want to listen, I want to live a few more years with this old bone." ”

Yi Dan said: "Uncle Li." Don't be afraid. We came to Taibai Mountain this time to deal with the Great Virtue Sect, please believe us, we will definitely eradicate the Great Virtue Sect completely. that you may no longer be persecuted by them. ”

A questioning tone came from inside the door and said, "If you really have the ability to eradicate the Great Virtue Sect, then come and tell us later." We are all ordinary mountain villagers, and we don't have the ability to go against those people. ”

Yi Dan said: "Uncle Li, listen to me. We must eradicate the Great Virtue Sect, but we must also rely on your strength. If you are willing to help. We will eradicate the Great Virtue Sect more quickly, otherwise, we will give the Great Virtue Sect a chance to breathe. We're going to give up all the work we've done. ”

Uncle Li asked: "I'm just an old man who farms and hunts, what can I do to help you? That Dade Sect is all martial arts masters, aren't we all going to die? Don't lie to me, this old man, I still want to bury this old bone in the ancestral grave and leave a whole corpse." ”

Yi Dan patiently explained: "Uncle Li, please believe me, we don't need you to fight hard with the Great Virtue Sect, we just need to use your farming skills to help us transport sand and dig soil and pave a road." ”

"Transporting sand and digging earth to pave a road, what kind of help is this?" asked Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li, this is like a war. Not everyone has to be like a soldier, fighting the enemy with a sword. There are also many people who transport grain and grass in the rear, although they did not directly participate in the battle, but they ensured the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the soldiers, and they are also heroes. Yi Dan hurriedly explained.

"However, but the Great Virtue Sect is too powerful, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat them, but it will cause the people of Taibai Mountain to suffer even greater losses. Uncle Li said.

Yi Dan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Li, please listen to the next sentence." It is precisely because everyone is afraid of the Great Virtue Sect that it fuels their arrogance and arrogance. If all the good people in the world are united, I believe that the evil Great Virtue Sect will be driven out of the Bohai Sea and completely eradicated. If you're lucky, you might be able to find your son again. ”

The old man heard Yi Dan mention his son who had been captured by the Great Virtue Sect, and finally slowly opened the door. After seeing Yi Dan's appearance as a woman in white clothes, he said firmly: "If this is really the case, I will fight this old life, and I will go with you to destroy the Great Virtue Sect." ”

Yi Dan saw that Uncle Li opened the door, and finally smiled and said, "Great, Uncle Li." As long as we, the kind people, are united, stay sober at all times, and don't be invaded by Gu worms, we will definitely completely eradicate the Great Virtue Sect, eliminate the harm for Taibai Mountain, and commit treachery for the Bohai Kingdom. ”

"Okay, may I ask when are you going to do it?" asked Uncle Li.

"For now, let's tentatively schedule the day after tomorrow, early the day after tomorrow, we will meet at the foot of the north of Taibai Mountain. Yi Dan said.

Uncle Li said, "Okay, do you need me to prepare something?"

"You don't need to prepare anything, you just need to bring a hoe and basket that you usually do, and nothing else. Yi Dan said.

"That's good, it's simple, early the day after tomorrow, I'll be there for old decay. Uncle Li said.

Yi Dan said happily: "Great, thank you, Uncle Li." ”

Uncle Li clasped his hands together and said, "This time, the people of Taibai Mountain have been saved, and my son can come back." Great, thanks Bodhisattva. ”

Yi Dan looked at the family next door and asked, "Uncle Li, is there anyone in the next door?"

Uncle Li said: "Yes, they were originally big families, but now there are only a few old people who fish and farm at home. ”

"Why?" Yi Dan asked.

"Their son. They were all caught up the mountain by the people of the Great Virtue Sect. Lin Xiao said.

"I see, can you ask Uncle Li to take me to find them?" Yi Dan asked.

"No problem, come with me. ”

Yi Dan, under the leadership of Uncle Li, came to the door of the house next door.

"Knock knock," Yi Dan shouted, "Is anyone home?"

At this time, three old men of about fifty came out, although they were dressed in tatters and simple, but from their eyes, they revealed the cultivation of knowledge.

One of the old men asked, "What are you doing?"

Uncle Li stepped forward and said, "Old Liu, these are all heroes of the rivers and lakes, and they are here to ask us to help." Eradicate the great religion. ”

When Lao Liu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Is it? May I ask you, heroes, do you really have the will to eradicate that cult?"

Yi Dan said: "Of course, this time we came to ask for your blind date assistance to eradicate the Great Virtue Cult together." ”

The old Liu Lao said with tears: "Great, I've been looking forward to it for so many years, and I finally see hope." May I ask how many heroes need us to do it, even though we are in this home. Now it is no longer what it used to be, but as long as you sincerely help us, we will smash the pot and sell iron, and we will also support you in eradicating the great evil cult. ”

Yi Dan hurriedly explained: "Uncle Liu, you misunderstood. We're not here to ask for money, we just need you to bring hoes and baskets to dig and pave the road. We'll do the rest. ”

"Dig and pave the way. It's as simple as that?" asked Lao Liu.

"Yes, it's as simple as that. Yi Dan said.

"That's fine, don't talk about digging. As long as you can really eradicate the Great Virtue Sect, even if you move mountains, we are willing to do so. Lao Liu said.

"Well, thank you then!" Yi Dan said.

At this time, an aunt next to Lao Liu said: "If it was before, we could still use the money to help you." Our family was originally the richest family in these ten miles and eight towns. Our money is earned by generations of hard work. Now all our possessions have been taken away by the people of the Great Virtue Sect. Hey..."

Yi Dan asked: "This Great Virtue Sect is so hateful, robbing money and people. ”

The aunt said: "Yes, they said that as long as we hand over the property and our children are in the mountains, we can have no worries about food and clothing." He also said that there is a doctor for what is a disease, and the old is educated. We gave them all our possessions, but my son was still drained of blood and died. ”

Lao Liu said: "That's right, not only that, but those people also come to the village regularly to loot, and if we don't give money and food, they will kill people and burn houses." There were originally dozens of people in our family, but now only a few of us are left, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. ”

When Yi Dan heard this, he asked suspiciously, "In that case, why don't you run away?"

"Who doesn't want to escape? But they watch us very strictly, and if they find someone running away, they will kill them as soon as they are caught. And the family will be affected, knock out the tooth and be humiliated for life. Lao Liu said with a handful of snot and tears, and the missing teeth showed a big gap. Yi Dan couldn't help but shake his head again and again when he saw Uncle Liu's pitiful appearance.

The aunt continued: "That's right, the most hateful thing is that those disciples who came to kill people and rob goods were originally ordinary people who were captured by the Great Virtue Sect and carried up the mountain. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the sect leader poured into them, and they all became crazy devils, helping to abuse and harm their own villagers. ”

Yi Dan hurriedly explained: "Hey, in fact, they have all been poisoned by Gu and become puppets at the mercy of others, and they themselves don't know what they are doing. Please don't blame them. We are here this time to rescue them all, to expel all the poison from them, and to eradicate the great evil cult in one fell swoop. ”

Lao Liu said: "That's great, if it can really succeed, I, Old Man Liu, am willing to erect a monument and build a temple for you, and praise it from generation to generation." ”

Yi Dan said: "Uncle Liu doesn't have to be polite, it is within the duty of the people in our rivers and lakes to eliminate harm for the people, as long as you can support and assist us, our chances of success will be greatly increased." If you are all under the influence of that cult and are unwilling to help you. With the strength of just a few of my people, I am afraid that I will never be able to eradicate the evil tumor of the Great Virtue Sect. ”

Lao Liu said: "Well said, to eradicate evil, we still need everyone to unite." Let's go, I'll take you from house to house. With me here, I believe they will give you a little bit of thin noodles. After that, Lao Liu led Yi Dan and a few people and walked towards almost the other people.

"Then thank you, Uncle Liu!" Yi Dan said as he followed.

Under the leadership of Uncle Li and Uncle Liu, Yi Dan and several people went door-to-door, knowing and persuading every villager patiently with emotion and reason. Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and by the time it got dark, seventy or eighty villagers had been convinced. They all agreed, offering to come and help.

Saying goodbye, Yi Dan, Uncle Li and Uncle Liu said: "Thank you two old men for your great support! The day after tomorrow, I will ask Miss Lin Xiao to come and inform you of the specific departure time, and ask the two of you to help inform the villagers to prepare in advance." ”

"Well, please rest assured, a few heroes, this matter is on the two of us. After the two agreed, they said goodbye to Yi Dan.

On the way back to the inn, Lin Xiao said with admiration: "Sister Yi." I admire you so much. I went to invite them before, but no one asked for help, but I didn't expect that as soon as you went, so many villagers agreed to come and help. ”

Yi Dan said: "It's not a difficult thing. In fact, those villagers also hated Dadejiao very much. It's just that he was forced by obscenity, and he had no choice but to give in. If someone really has the ability to destroy the cult, they can also ensure the safety of the villagers. I am confident that they will support them unreservedly. This may be since ancient times. The truth of what people say, 'there is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust'. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiao said: "Well, I understand. Thank you, Sister Yi!"

"Thank me for what?" Yi Dan asked.

Lin Xiao: "Thank you for your teaching, I will remember it for the rest of my life and will not forget it." ”

"Hehe, the little girl is getting more and more sensible. Oh yes, are your legs better?" Yi Dan asked.

"Well, after taking Sister Yi's elixir, I have been much better, but the doctor said that I can only walk with this crutch in the future. But it doesn't matter, I'm still the cheerful and happy Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Well, if only you could think of it. In fact, life is not perfect, how many people are healthy, but their minds are crippled, and although your legs and feet are a little inconvenient, you are sincere, brave, lively and kind. In my heart, she is the soundest and most beautiful girl, you have to believe in yourself, understand?" Yi Dan encouraged Lin Xiao.

"Well, I understand, thank you Sister Yi for saying that, with your support Sister Yi, and this iron birch cane, I feel that my life is actually not so bad. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Well, maybe God is testing you, maybe there are better things waiting for you in the future, you can't live up to it. Yi Dan said.

"Well, okay. Oh, by the way, Sister Yi, we've found so many villagers today, have you seen enough?" Lin Xiao asked.

"I think that's it for the time being, it's already dark, let's not disturb the villagers anymore. Let's go back to the inn first and discuss the rest of the matter. Yi Dan said.

"Okay, let's go back first" With that, Lin Xiao ran to the front quickly with a cane.

"Lin Xiao, be careful, your injuries haven't healed yet. Yi Dan admonished.

"It's okay, my injuries are all healed, you see, your legs are not as fast as I am. Lin Xiao said proudly.

"That's good, we have to catch up with you, otherwise we will be compared to you. Yi Dan said with a smile, kicked his legs, and flew over with light power.

Yi Danfei stepped forward and walked side by side with Lin Xiao. The two looked at each other in the snow. Yi Dan grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and conveyed a breath of true qi to her. Then he said: "Lin Xiao, you listen to me, the dantian is angry, his legs are erect, he uses his crutches to borrow strength in the snow, and then bounces up and runs ahead." ”

According to Yi Dan's words, Lin Xiao transferred the true qi that Yi Dan conveyed to her in her body, and finally pushed the true qi to the crutches, borrowed strength on the snow, and suddenly flew up from the ground. Yi Dan pulled Lin Xiao, and the two flew forward in the snow.

"Ah, I'll fly, I'll do it lightly..."Lin Xiao shouted happily.

"It's not good to speak, so as not to leak the true anger. Yi Dan grabbed Lin Xiao's hand and reminded her. Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, and flew forward hand in hand with Yi Dan and the two on the snow.

"Hey, you two are waiting for us. Zuo Zhutian jumped up with a big sword, and then, several people used light skills and chased forward in the snow. (To be continued.) )
