Doom Roar

Many days later, the news of the fire in Shanyang City came from the merchants who came to do business in Jiangbei, but no one could explain the inexplicable cause of the monstrous fire, and it could only be attributed to God's punishment in the end.

For a while, remarks like God bless the Song Dynasty were very popular among the people, and Song Emperor Zhao Gou's prestige among the people suddenly increased a lot, which was an unexpected gain that no one expected.

Some people are happy but others are sad.

The fire also caused the Jin Kingdom to be puzzled. The current Jin Emperor Wanyan Zongqian was furious when he heard the news and ordered the Ministry of War to investigate the matter thoroughly. But it can't explain how the kerosene, which is estimated to be nearly ten thousand shi, entered the city and flowed into the granary under the eyes of the garrison.

For a time, people in the court of the Kingdom of Jin were panicked, and no one dared to mention the matter of going south to attack the Song Dynasty. [

After all, if you don’t understand the cause of the fire, if people burn it once, they can burn it again. No matter how rich the family background of Jin Guo is, it can’t help such a disaster. First toss yourself down.

Of course, these "messy" follow-up events have already been related to Xu Mo.

At the moment, he is busy with an earth-shattering event - digging the West Lake.

This was also one of the two requests that Xu Mo made with Song Emperor Zhao Gou before he went to Shanyang to set fire, to drain the West Lake and dig down the Leifeng Pagoda.

Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing were still imprisoned under the Leifeng Pagoda. The so-called digging up the Leifeng Pagoda was just for show, but draining the water from the West Lake must be done. How can I be subdued?

Jinkou Yuyan did not just say it casually. With Zhao Gou's imperial decree, officials of all sizes in Suzhou Prefecture immediately acted with extremely high efficiency. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of civilians were conscripted to go to the West Lake. They dug ten miles of canals in one day, and the speed was very fast. It's jaw-dropping.

Xu Mo originally thought that the monk Fa Hai would have to wait for ten days and a half months, and maybe he would hold on until the day when the gate was opened to release the water before he could show his defeat, but he didn't expect that he would invite Xu Mo on the first day and night of digging the canal. Let's go up the mountain.

At this moment, Xu Mo has the imperial decree in his arms, and he has the protection of the Great Song Dynasty, so he doesn't have to worry about what tricks Fa Hai will play on him. He doesn't even bring the imperial guard of honor, and goes to the meeting alone.

"Long time no see, benefactor Xu still has the same demeanor."

Monk Fahai was still talking nonsense with his eyes open. Xu Mo had been digging canals and transporting soil on the construction site all day, covered in dust and dust, no matter how he looked at it, he was not elegant.

"Zen Master Fahai, you and I are old acquaintances. Ming people don't speak secretly. You should know why I am here this time. If you want to let me go, give me a good word."

Xu Mo was convinced of Fa Hai at this moment, and he was not polite in his words.

"Amitabha! The benefactor saved all the people from the fire and water. This achievement is just around the corner to become a king and a prince. Why do you have to ruin your future for two evildoers?"

"Excuse me, I'll go back and continue digging ditches..."

"Benefactor Xu, please stay! The poor monk let those two monsters go."

If Xu Mo's oil and salt are not imported, Fa Hai can plan. Now Xu Mo's identity is an imperial envoy, and with the imperial decree of the Song Emperor, let alone demolishing the Leifeng Pagoda, it is razing the Jinshan Temple to the ground, subject to the rules of the world. Due to limitations, Fa Hai could only watch and not take action. Now Xu Mo was just digging ditches at the foot of Xizhao Mountain, which was enough to give him face.

Under the guidance of Fa Hai, Xu Mo soon met the two daughters Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing. The two were dressed in plain clothes, but their mental state was good. Obviously, they did not suffer any abuse during the period at the bottom of the tower.

What surprised Xu Mo a little was that during the period of imprisoning the second daughter, Fa Hai actually removed the remaining "drug" and "nature" of Bai Suzhen's rejuvenation pill, making her return to her original appearance.

But this is not to say how merciful this monk Hai is, it is probably just because he is afraid that Bai Suzhen will make Jinshan Temple poor. [

Although I don't know why Fa Hai suddenly released the two sisters from the bottom of the Leifeng Pagoda, Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing couldn't help but see Xu Mo when they got out of the pagoda.

Bai Suzhen, who has a gentle temperament, can still maintain a certain degree of restraint, and Cen Biqing hugged Xu Mo on the spot without any scruples and sucked his blood. It seems that the confinement life during this period has made this greedy little The chili is choking enough.

"Benefactor Xu, this time, because of your great merit in designing to force the army of the Jin Kingdom to retreat and save all the people from fire and water, the poor monk was exempted from the punishment of the green and white snakes. I hope you will restrain these two snakes after you go back You evildoer, don't do anything that hurts the heavens and reason again, or I will not forgive you lightly!"

Holding a golden bowl in his hand, Fa Hai spoke with a strict tone of righteousness. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the two snakes, the green and white snakes, were not guilty of any crimes at all, but he still had to say the cruel things that should be said, just like saying "No to Qingshan" after suffering a loss Change the green water to flow or something.

This is the rule of the rivers and lakes, you don't lose if you lose.

"Thank you for reminding me, Master, I remember."

Xu Mo clasped his hands together, and politely returned the gift. Since Fa Hai was subdued, he always wanted to save some face for the other party.

Fa Hai laughed loudly, as if there had never been any conflict between the two, he threw a wooden sign to Xu Mo and said: "Next time the benefactor comes to sweep the pagoda, with this wooden sign you can resist the Buddha's light, don't tear down the Buddha statue... "

"Thank you Master for making it happen."

Xu Mo didn't know how Fa Hai guessed that he would visit Leifeng Pagoda again, but since the words were made clear, it would be a good thing that he wouldn't have to sneak around like being a thief next time.

Now that Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing were rescued, digging the West Lake would be an act of insanity. However, the imperial decree cannot be wasted. Xu Mo simply asked these folks to re-reinforce the embankment along the river in Qiantang County. contribute.

After attending a banquet hosted by a large number of officials, including the prefect of Suzhou, Xu Mo took Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing back to his home in Qiantang County.

Gu Pan, Li Gongfu and Yan Wan were the only people who welcomed Xu Mo at home. After questioning, they found out that as early as half a month ago, a tall, sloppy woman came to take Xu Xian'er away, and left a message to let Xu Mo go. After Xu Mo came back, he went up the mountain to look for her.

Xu Mo naturally remembered the agreement he made with Liu Zuimo at the beginning, and after settling the affairs of the family, he immediately set off for Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain is located near Xinzhou on Jiangnandong Road in Dasong, which is in modern Jiangxi Province. It is almost a thousand miles away from Qiantang, and even riding a horse takes five days at the fastest.

However, Xu Mo now needs to have as many scruples as before. Even in the daytime, he can ride the auspicious [Liuzu Tianshuang] to swagger through the market. Anyway, his status as an imperial envoy can protect him from all unnecessary threats trouble.

In this way, Xu Mo traveled thousands of miles to the foot of Longhu Mountain in just one afternoon.

The original name of Longhu Mountain is Yunjin Mountain. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the first generation of celestial masters, found the famous mountains and rivers. Seeing the magic and beauty of this place, receiving the true energy of the world, and capturing the yang essence of the void of the universe, he finally chose to make alchemy here. It became a dragon and a tiger, and then it got the name of the mountain.

Whether this legend is true or not is still subject to textual research, but this Longhu Mountain is a treasured land of immortals. The Luxi River connects several strange peaks, rocks, lush forests and bamboos on both sides, forming "a stream of streams and glazed glass, thousands of layers of clouds, mountains and purple emerald piles." "The wonderful scenery."

It takes a detour of dozens of miles to get to the gate of Longhu Mountain by land. Xu Mo didn't want to be too high-profile and cause unnecessary trouble, so he chose to enter the mountain by water like everyone else.

As a famous sect of Taoism, Longhushan can't help pilgrims to go up the mountain to worship, so there are also ferrymen on the Luxi River who make a living by ferrying all year round.

However, it may be that Xu Mo came by accident. For some reason, he did not see the spectacular scene of the ferrymen waiting in line by the river mentioned by the mountain people. Come on a bamboo raft. [

Xu Mo yelled at the boatman to stop the bamboo raft. Just as he negotiated the price and was about to set off, two young men suddenly appeared on the river bank.

Being convenient for others is convenient for oneself. Xu Mo has never been the kind of domineering person. Anyway, there are enough places on the bamboo raft, so it's okay to bring two more people.

"Thank you, brother. If it wasn't for your kind help, the two of us would have to detour for dozens of miles to reach the gate of Longhu Mountain."

The two youths clasped their fists to express their thanks immediately after stepping on the bamboo raft. Xu Mo saw that the two of them had extraordinary looks and treated people politely, so he felt good about them, so he sat down on the bamboo raft and chatted with them after returning the gift.

During the conversation, Xu Mo learned that one of the two is called Huang Hong and the other is called Huang Guang. Even if they are cousins, they are also brothers. They came from a small Taoist sect called Taiyimen. Martial arts competition in Longhushan recruits relatives.

"Brother Xu, seeing that you are introverted and introverted, you are also a person with extraordinary skills. You must have come here to recruit relatives for the martial arts competition, right?" The younger brother Huang Guang has a slippery personality and a sense of familiarity. After saying a few words, they have already started calling brothers and sisters, "People choose one person to recruit relatives in martial arts competitions, but Longhu Mountain chooses ten people this time. Even if you don't want to form a Taoist partner with the female disciples on the mountain, you can choose a magic weapon as a prize. Let's go, it's really a martial art, a big deal!"

"Ten?"

Xu Mo was stunned. Didn't he just recruit relatives for Xu Xian'er alone?Why did it suddenly become ten?

But he immediately realized that this time Longhushan was probably just beating a rabbit, taking the opportunity of recruiting relatives for Xu Xian'er, expanding his influence among all the sects in the world, and attracting elites from other sects to join in the form of marriage. A good abacus.

"That's right, this time Longhushan recruited relatives and husbands for ten female disciples at one time, and I've heard that these ten female disciples are all beautiful, and their cultivation qualifications are also top choices.

In particular, there is a woman named Xu Xian'er, who is twenty-nine years old, and her face is as pure and clear as a Guanghan fairy. Don't give up.

It's a pity that this martial arts competition is not based on rankings to choose sons-in-law, but ultimately depends on the individual wishes of those female disciples, but this also gives me a chance to wait for the disciples of the small sect, and those with good looks like you, Brother Xu, are even bigger Take advantage..."

***

The plot has sped up, did anyone see it?Martial arts competition and recruiting relatives is the last plot of this illusion, and then you can truly return to the real world.
