Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 51
The bonfires were piled up, and there was the sound of crackling firewood everywhere.

"...The Tubo people are okay to talk about, and those warlike lords are not difficult to deal with. The worst is the evil monk who cultivates the Buddha of Joy..."

"...The three major sects of Esoteric Buddhism, with Huanxi Buddha as the head, are also the most evil. Those evil monks are called monks, but they are actually evil demons. Even the other two major sects are also looking sideways at them."

"But the Huanxi faction is the most powerful. Why? Because there are too many lustful people in the world."

Qian Sisuan sat opposite Luo Ning, chatting with Luo Ning across the campfire, intending to get closer.

"Brother Luo and his female relatives should be extra careful about those evil monks. A few days ago, some evil monks sneaked into the county and took away the daughter of the county guard, which made the county guard furious."

"The Great Compassion Temple where the evil monks are housed, including the abbot and the monks and pilgrims, are all locked up and imprisoned."

Luo Ning nodded and said: "I know about this, it was a big commotion before. Can the evil monk catch it?"

Qian Sisuan sneered: "Where can I catch it? That evil monk is said to be a sixth-rank master with tyrannical strength. Once he escapes, how can he catch him?"

"Could it be that the county guard still dares to send troops to Tubo to be important? If he provokes the Tubo cavalry to attack the county, his official role will come to an end."

"The evil monk harmed many women in this county, and even the county sheriff's daughter was murdered, but she was able to escape, which shows the incompetence of the government."

"The government is incompetent, and my business is difficult to do..."

Luo Li and Su Chuo didn't want to hear this, so they left the campfire together and went back to their carriages.

The cardamom girl got into the carriage, lit the lantern, took out the booklet, and recorded it seriously:

"April Jiazi, Xue Bingyu sent killers to assassinate brother."

"Jiazi in April, earning 50 taels of gold."

"...Old man can hardly walk anymore. I guess he can only walk a hundred miles at most. My heart aches."

Seeing the two women leaving, Qian Sisuan let go and said:
"It is said that the evil monk is extremely disgusting. He also likes female corpses. He is a monk from Yanshi Temple."

"According to the government's interrogation of his accomplices, he has another purpose here, which is to find a peerless female corpse and use it as a wonderful corpse lotus in the Yanshi Temple."

"My fellow party, this evil monk has the supernatural ability to sense the aura of corpses. He can clearly perceive the aura of corpses within ten miles, and he can immediately visualize the appearance and physique of corpses..."

"I don't know why, but he came to this county to look for some peerless and beautiful corpse. Could it be that there are still powerful and beautiful female cultivators in this county who have fallen? I haven't heard of it."

"However, the county is thousands of miles away, so it's not easy to find that peerless and beautiful corpse? Even if he can sense the aura of corpses, it will not be easy."

Luo Ning's heart moved even more when he heard that.

Faintly, it seemed that he had grasped something.

Luo Ning thought about it, and said, "Why did Qian Chaofeng suddenly mention this?"

Qian Sisuan's chubby face showed a smile: "Actually, it's to remind Daoist Luo that I'm going to the border with my female relatives. If I meet that evil monk..."

Luo Ning thought for a while, nodded and said: "Qian Chaofeng is right. If it is convenient, I will settle them down and prevent them from entering Tubo."

He felt that what Qian Si Suansu said made sense.Since Tubo Huanxi Buddha is powerful, it is indeed inconvenient to take a woman with him, and it will easily arouse the covetousness of those disgusting and evil monks.

Qian Sisuan's reminder to turn a corner is of course also for the safety of the caravan.

All night.

.........

Early the next morning, everyone hurried on the road together.

A group of 30 people, the momentum is not small.

Passing by the deserted courtyard again, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Qian Si got off his horse, took out a jug of wine, and faced the deserted courtyard far away, sprinkled wine to pay homage.

A group of people walked through the prosperous Wangyou Township in the past, but saw that the fields were barren and uninhabited, and they saw empty courtyards, like haunted houses.

Although many courtyards are covered with thorns and vines, they can still see the original style.

The stone lion carvings under the broken walls, the embroidered houses of Zhumen that have not yet completely decayed, the green brick avenues overgrown with weeds, the collapsed bridges at the river ferry, and the decaying ships all silently tell the glory of the past.

Qian Sisuan pointed to a village with row upon row of courtyards with emotion and said, "When I was young, I used to come here with my uncle. It is called a prosperous place."

"How do you say it? Jinshan Yinshan Wangyou Township, every household is full of money. At that time, the richest town in Yizhou was this remote Wangyou Township!"

"I remember that at that time, poppies were everywhere, and the aroma of brewed drug cream was everywhere for dozens of miles."

"Oh, there is a brothel called Wangyoulou. It is a gold-selling cave that specializes in receiving foreign merchants. The girls in it can be compared with those in Jinguan City."

"It's a pity, it's only been 20 years, and it has become like this. Alas, Fellow Daoist Luo, even monks of my generation cannot avoid the sigh of unforeseen events."

Hearing this, Luo Ning felt that the abacus of money was becoming more and more interesting.

When I first came into contact with this person, I felt that this person is an out-and-out businessman.But with more contact, I feel less and less like a businessman.

They walked for twenty or thirty miles, but there was no smoke or people, no dogs barking and chickens crowing.

As if lost by the world.

Even though the sun was shining brightly in broad daylight, everyone felt terrified.

Qian Sisuan continued: "After the death of Wangyou Township, the government was perfunctory, and many corpses that were too lazy to bury were placed in Yinyue Villa."

Yinyue Villa!

Luo Ning murmured even more when he heard this.This is the second person he has heard about Yinyue Villa.

"Thirty miles away, it will be Yinyue Mountain Villa." Qian Sisuan pointed to a horn-like mountain in the distance, "It's just under Qingniu Mountain."

What?In front is Yinyue Mountain Villa?

Luo Ning casually waved his horsewhip and asked, "Are we going to pass through Yinyue Mountain Villa?"

"Yinyue Villa is a must pass." Qian Sisuan said.

"It is the intersection of official roads and the upper reaches of the Chi River. There are many pedestrians traveling between the three counties and Tubo.

"If someone dies and cannot transport the body back home for a while, it will be placed there."

Luo Ning shook his head secretly.

Unexpectedly, Yinyue Mountain Villa turned out to be the only place to go to Fengzhu Mountain.

The crowd walked for more than ten miles, when a gust of wind suddenly blew, and they immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.

"There's a dead person ahead." Luo Ning's expression turned serious.

When he got close, he saw a courtyard full of corpses in disorder.

There are as many as twenty or thirty.

There are many horses tied outside the yard, kicking and snorting anxiously.

Seven of the horses were still tied with women.

The women were tied to horses and their mouths were all gagged.

"What's going on?" Luo Ning flew off the horse, untied a woman's rope, and removed the cloth strip from her mouth.

"Help…"

"Bandit, dead... Rush..."

Luo Ning's consciousness swept away, and he saw a large number of dead bodies, who really died by killing each other.

Seeing so many corpses, Qian Sisuan looked strange.

"Brother Luo, the cause of death of these thieves is very similar to that of Mo Gu and the others."

Luo Ning nodded and asked the woman, "What did the robbers shout before they died?"

Seeing that Luo Ning was a good-looking boy, the woman replied in shock: "It seems...it seems that I said something strange, I don't understand."

Luo Ning said: "Is it 'Cuckoo, blah, blah, blah...?"

The woman nodded abruptly, "That's right! Gong Gong, that's what they shouted!"

Luo Ning felt a little nervous.He untied all the women who were snatched by the thieves, and immediately gained a square inch of wish power.

Among the seven women who were robbed, there was actually a little girl of a different race.

The girl of the foreign race was about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Luo Li.

This young girl's skin is fair and rosy, her eyes are as black as jewels, and her facial features are handsome and delicate. Although she lacks three points of elegance and adds a touch of wildness, she is very upright and seductive.

She was wearing a gown with a left lapel embroidered face, her hair was braided and decorated with pearls.There is also a wreath necklace on the chest.

It's completely dressed like a noblewoman from a foreign race.

At this moment, she didn't cry, but looked at Luo Ning, who rescued her, with strange eyes, and her fingers were still pinching.

"Which Qiang chieftain's family is this?" Qian Sisuan said.He knew some Tubo language, but not Qiang language.

But he could see that this girl should be a Qiang.

In the borderlands of Yizhou, there are some Qiang tribes whose chieftains are chieftains.In fact, most of them belong to the Dangxiang survivors and Xianbei survivors, but they are collectively called Qiang.

The strange thing is that this little Qiang girl is the youngest, but the calmest.

After she was untied, she saluted Luo Ning with her hands on her heart, and said two words that were similar to Xia Yu, but definitely not Xia Yu, as if she was returning to her nest.

The crowd couldn't understand it, but Luo Ning, who had the magic power of interpreting, understood it.

What she said was: "My divination is correct, I will save the day."

"Auspicious nobleman, you have brought me peace."

"The white shaman of Bayan Mountain and Murong Lingbei, the daughter of Tugubu, have met your lord."
