Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 245
The official document of the puppet emperor being captured and sentenced was sent from the capital to the counties and prefectures, and then passed on to the townships in turn. This autumn and the cold season, the official roads from north to south, the tolerance government servants on fast horses carrying official documents and waving whips, bursts Shouting and loud noise on the road.

The crops along the way have already been harvested, and the farmers who raised and prepared the land were not curious when they heard the loud shouts, and they did not know how many times.The business travelers on the road pulled their livestock to avoid it.

drive!
The whip cracked, and the tolerance on the fast horse galloped for a while, then slightly reined in, slowed down, let the horse relax for a while, looked at the faintly targeted small county ahead, and laughed and chatted with his colleagues beside him.

"How about it, when we get there later, we will have half a day free, brother will treat you to flower wine later, the kind with meat!"

"Haha, thank you very much, brother picked the horse faster, otherwise I don't know when I will arrive in Qu County."

The previous tolerance stroked his short beard on his chin and smiled, "If the horse is not fast, it's better to ride a bull!"

At this moment, the two of them faintly heard something, and the booming sound in their ears spread to this side. The moment they stopped their horses and turned back, the farmers in the fields on both sides straightened their waists.

next moment.

A cloud of smoke and dust approached from far away, slanted across the sky and came towards this side at high speed, chasing behind the two of them.

"Then... what is that?!"

The eyes of the two of them widened, and the horse under them jumped to the side of the road without waiting for them to react.

There is a wind blowing over.

As if time slowed down at this moment, in the field of vision of the two of them and two horses, an old cow with a blue back was covered with yellow talismans, its head was raised and its tongue was thrown, saliva was flying around, and the afterimages of its four legs quickly stepped out.

A person in the carriage behind was reading a book, a fat man was eating pancakes, and an old man poked his head out to look around, his beard and hair blowing in the wind.

On the carriage, there was even a monk standing firmly on it, with his feet spread apart, his hands clasped together, his monk's robe fluttering around, and the side of the carriage was still open, and many wooden carvings of people, like living creatures, were clattering there. There was a lot of noise and dancing.

Time back to normal.

Like a gust of wind, the bullock cart rushed past the two of them, and the smoke and dust they rolled up made them cough non-stop.After a tolerance came to his senses, he stammered and pointed in the direction where the smoke and dust disappeared.

"Brother...just now...is that a cow?"

The other man panted heavily with a pale face, and after swallowing his saliva, he nodded his head: "It seems to be a... cow, and even passed us two!"

"Why don't we try another cow next time?"

The two subconsciously lowered their heads and looked at the two horses under their seats. Seeing what they saw, the two horses spat and barked twice.

The smoke and dust billowed, and quickly disappeared at the end of the road. After crossing the small county in front, the mana of the yellow talisman on the running cow dissipated, and then slowly slowed down.

'Damn it, I'm exhausted. '

Twenty miles ahead, you will leave the southern boundary of Hezhou, which is the mountainous area in the south, including the famous Tongtian Mountain.According to legend, in ancient times, many people in the local area saw a fairy stepping on the cloud and fell to the top of the mountain, so it got its name. According to word of mouth, there are many temples in the mountain. Roads are built in Qiancai Mountain, which is convenient for pilgrims to go up and down the mountain. There are also many business travelers passing by to pray for a safe journey, or to pay their respects on the mountain when business is booming.

Tongtian Mountain seems to be famous and sage, but Chen Yuan doesn't believe it. It is more likely that the county magistrate and the squire jointly created a road to wealth...

There are so many pilgrims and business travelers, if it is Yulong Mountain, let alone the beasts in the mountain, I am afraid that Zu Yi's body will be dug out.

……

The ox cart stopped by the side of the road, and on the roof of the carriage, Zhenhai jumped down, holding a Zen stick and a golden bowl in one hand, saying goodbye to Chen Yuan and the fat Taoist, not to get away, but to leave from here within a radius of twenty miles. Start looking south, and ask the local mountain people along the way.

It is impossible for Chen Yuan to run directly to the junction in one breath, and then search in all directions. He can only start from the beginning, and search south inch by inch.

If he had the opportunity, he would also ask the gods of the land and mountains.

"The little master is careful along the way. You go to the left, and I will go to the right with the old grandson."

Zhenhai understood it, nodded, said nothing more, and walked towards the mountain on the left with the Dharma seal erected.Seeing that the monk was gone, Chen Yuan glanced at the master pulling the big toad man to stand up and gesticulating there, smiled and told the old cow to turn around and go to the rolling hills on the right.

Passing by a tea stand by the road, I also bought rice cakes and steamed buns, and put a pot of turbid wine brewed by the store itself. I opened it and smelled it, and there was a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.Chen Yuan took a bite of the pancake, then sipped a little of the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and drove the ox cart through the mountains, feeling quite leisurely and unrestrained.

"Old Sun, come for a while!"

"Okay, boss, listen up." Sun Zhengde poured a glass of wine, stood staggeringly in the car, shaking his swollen belly, and played an impromptu song. It is the singing of birds flying in the mountains.

Chen Yuan also brought a cup to the master in the carriage, and told him to only have one cup to taste, and not to drink too much.At this moment, the autumn sun in the eyes suddenly overcast, and there was the sound of wings flapping, rushing across the sky.

Chen Yuan poked her head out and looked up, and saw a huge black shadow flying from a distance, passing directly above the ox cart, without opening her eyes, she could tell that it was a well-trained bird, but it was just too big for some reason. Run out during the day.

"Whoever sang the song, it's so ugly!"

Just as he was thinking, there was a voice in front of him that suddenly interrupted the sound of the fat Taoist's song. There were two carriages parked in the forest, and among the withered and fallen leaves, there were three couples of men and women. They were gorgeously dressed and wore jade hairpins. , or prostitutes in brothels and the like, invite you to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival in the mountains here.

"Offended offended."

Chen Yuan smiled and cupped her hands at the six men and women, "When my companion sees the mid-autumn day in the mountains, he can't help singing a song. I really don't know if there are other people around, so please excuse me."

"You rough people like you can appreciate the autumn mood?" A young man shook his fan and sneered. The female family next to him saw the carriage and couldn't help being curious: "Hey, are you acting?"

"Exactly."

"It's just right, I'm tired of watching the mountain scenery, how about you give us a show here?" Seeing the curiosity of the woman beside him, the young man closed his fan and clapped his palms, "The show is over, and you will have money. "

The bullock cart stopped, and when Lao Niu gave Bai Bai a look at the men and women over there, Chen Yuan smiled and waved her hands: "I'm afraid I won't be able to perform for some of you today, I still have things to do."

At this time, Chen Yuan's words fell, and her eyes turned away from the three pairs of men and women, and fell to the mountain road ahead. An old woman with a cane and a hemp scarf wrapped her head passed by. Chen Yuan couldn't help but frowned. A mountain spirit.

The monsters here are going to have a meeting, or Tang Seng passed by here, and it is rare to see one of them on weekdays, but today they ran into two in a few steps.

The old woman seemed to have also seen the men and women here, and her old face, as dry as bark, was overjoyed at first. When she saw Chen Yuan, her face turned pale immediately, and she walked quickly on crutches.

"Hey, talking to you, what are you doing over there?!"

Next to the young master, another brocade-clothed man came over, his figure was much taller than the others, and there was a long sword inlaid with gemstones on his waist.

Chen Yuan turned her head, still smiling, but her words were to warn them: "Leave quickly, after the sun goes down, this mountain may not be peaceful."

"Tch, we haven't been afraid of anyone in this area, even the bandits at Laolongshan, if they hear our father's name, they have to obediently come over to pay their respects."

When those people heard the warning words, they seemed to be stimulated, and they refused to let go. There was also a man and a snickering female companion who stepped forward and grabbed the old cow by the reins. Playing, not letting him go.

Seeing that they were such rascals, the fat Taoist rolled up his sleeves and got out of the car.

"Okay, Fat Daoist will act for you, don't regret it!" He spat and rubbed his hands, and then went to grab the mahogany sword behind his back, but was stopped by Chen Yuan.

He said in words that only the two of them could hear: "They are just ordinary people, just playing with their temper. You use the method of transforming soldiers and slap them on them, so you can't beat them to death."

"This... this is true, I was confused by a few pustules."

The fat Taoist looked at the gradually turning yellow sky, and then looked again. Those men and women who were not afraid of being scalded by boiling water snorted and turned their round faces away.

……

At dusk, the sun hangs on the top of the mountain.

In the mountains more than 70 miles away from here, birds are screaming, beasts are running, and under the yellowing forest, a figure in a scholar's robe is sitting on a rock and reading a book.

As if feeling something, he frowned slightly, raised his face to look slightly north, and smiled suddenly.

"Meiniang, Youlan, you two are going to meet a distinguished guest, please come here, but don't tell me who I am first."

There was a gust of wind in the forest, and the fallen leaves were swirled in a whirl. In an instant, two enchanting and beautiful women came out, all wearing dresses, tulle shoulders, and high buns. With the jade hairpin inserted, between the application of rouge, there is still a little red between the eyebrows.

The second daughter, Qi Qifu bowed down and said delicately: "Yes."

"He is my friend, you two should treat him well."

After saying that, the scholar waved his wide sleeves, indicating that the two of them can leave.The two girls got up just now, riding a gust of dark wind, they both floated out of the forest.

For a moment, the scholar on the rock had something on his mind, no matter how ugly he was, he stood up and looked in the direction where the two women disappeared, with his hands behind his back, and he pressed his lips tightly.

There was a light 'hiss' in the mouth.

"Why did he come, but it's also just right. It's a blessing to catch up with the banquet of the Longevity Empress at this time. Let's fulfill the previous promise and introduce the demons to him."

Thinking about it, the scholar laughed quite complacently.

In the past, you entertained me, but this time you can be regarded as letting me go back to the East.

Smiling, he simply went back to the cave in the forest, asked the little monster under his command to prepare drinks, and waited while reading a book and drinking slowly.

It's interesting to think about the expression of my friends when they see me.
