Chapter 246 Qingzhou Bandit Leader
Qingzhou is located to the north of Xinduo, separated by Xianzhou and Chongshan Prefecture
From Xianzhou to Qingzhou, there is a waterway connecting it, called Xian River, which passes through the two provinces and leads directly to the provincial capital of Qingzhou.
Chen Shi rested for a night in the provincial capital of Xianzhou, and early the next morning he came to the dock by the river. There were many passenger and cargo ships traveling between the provinces.
Among the many boats, there was a painting boat docked on the shore. The boat girl raised her head and looked towards the shore
Chen Shi was as important as Mr. Qingtian, so their father and daughter divided the work, one guarded Mr. Qingtian, and the other guarded Chen Shi.
She is responsible for guarding Chen Shi,
During this trip to Qingzhou, the waterway was the most convenient, so she moved the painting boat to the Xianzhou River early and waited for Chen Shi.
After a while, Chen Shi really caught her eye. Pretending to meet by chance.
As soon as she entered the boat, she heard a loud popping sound, and heard many boatmen exclaiming and tutting.
She hurriedly looked outside and couldn't help but gape
She saw Chen Shi's wooden cart jumping into the Xianzhou River, and Chen Shi and the black dog jumped on it.
The canopy of the wooden cart opened with a swish, the wheels turned, and it drove out of the dock.
The boat girl stared blankly at the wooden cart going further and further away. Under the canopy, there was actually the shadow of Feng Bo, no more than three inches in size. He held a cattail leaf fan and stirred up the strong wind, causing the wooden cart to drive very fast in the water, even faster than the speed boat in the river! br/> It was two days after Chen Shi arrived in Qingzhou Province.
He took out Li Tianqing's letter, turned it to the back, compared it with the geographical map, and looked up at the mountains on both sides of the bank.
According to the geographical map drawn by Li Tianqing, the Guan Sheng Emperor Temple was not located in the provincial capital of Qingzhou, but at the foot of the mountain on the left bank.
He found a simple pier with more than one room. The pier was deserted and there were several old fishing boats docked.
The wooden cart jumped onto the pier and skillfully shook off the water stains on the cart.
Chen Shi gave it a warning look and realized that This action seemed a bit familiar
There was a town not far away, and several government officials posted notices outside the town
A man carrying a hoe passed by, and one of the yamen officials grabbed a steel knife and pressed it on his neck.
The man knelt down in fear and kept begging for mercy. The officer pressed a knife on his neck while reading the notice.
"Not a wanted criminal."
The yamen officer smiled and waved for him to get out.
Chen Shi looked at the notice board. There were many arrest warrants for gangsters on the notice board. Some were yellowed, some were torn apart so that their faces could not be seen clearly, and some had arrest warrants posted on them. There were already more than a dozen of them, which were thick and thick
He took a cursory glance and realized that there were three to five hundred wanted notices on the notice board.
One of the wanted notices states that a man named Wang Erniu stole a hoe from next door, committed a capital crime, and is on the run.
Chen Shi read it twice and was shocked to see that Wang Erniu had indeed been sentenced to death.
There was also a scholar named Fang Jin who [thrown stones at the county magistrate's official sedan, and is on the run from death.
The widow Yue Xiu'e does not want to go to the archway and wants to remarry. She is on the run for a capital crime.
Xu Tiezhu trampled on more than ten young seedlings in the field and was fined five silver coins. He refused to accept the fine and was sentenced to death. He is at large.
The Yamen servants also noticed him, and seeing that he was wearing a Juren Taoist robe, they said politely: "Which gangster does Juren recognize? If he can be captured and brought to justice, the Yamen will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
Chen Shi said sternly: "I am a Juren from Xinduo Province, and I abide by the law. If I meet a bandit, , I will be escorted to the government office to receive the reward.
Does any of the officials know how to get to Weidang Village?
Weidang Village? You walk along this road for about ten miles. There is a mountain road along the road. You can see a lake about seven or eight miles away, and the lake is surrounded by reeds.
Weidang Village is right next to it, facing Qingzhou Fucheng.
Chen Shi thanked him.
Several government officials watched him leave with the wooden cart and the black dog, and then checked the arrest warrant on the notice. They couldn't find a face similar to Chen Shi's and sighed with regret.
Chen Shi walked forward. There were many wooden piles on both sides of the road. The wooden piles were in the shape of a cross. Each wooden pile had naked people hanging on them, some were male and female, and some were still alive.
The sun was scorching, and the prisoners were dehydrated from the sun. The dead corpses were pitch black. When Chen Shi passed by, he only heard a buzzing sound, and black flies flew up from the corpses, circling around them
As he passed by, the flies flew back down, and the bodies became pitch black again.
He also saw two yamen guards, holding a prisoner, with a rope around his neck and hanging the prisoner under a big tree.
The man hanging in the tree kicked his legs hard and died.
Chen Shi wondered: "Aren't the laws of Qingzhou not the laws of the Ming Dynasty? Why are they so strict?
The expressions of the two yamen servants suddenly changed. The young yamen servant held down the handle of his waist knife and shouted :
You have committed a serious crime by making irresponsible remarks about the laws of Qingzhou!
The older yamen officer quickly stopped him and smiled at Chen Shi: "He drank too much and did not want to arrest you. I will make amends on his behalf.
The young yamen servant was puzzled, so the older yamen servant quietly pressed his hand and signaled him not to talk too much.
Chen Shi drove away.
The older Yamen servant complained: "
Didn't you see? He is wearing the clothes of a civil servant, and his cultivation must be much higher than the two of us! If you attack him, we will be the ones hanging on the tree later!
The young Yamen servant said solemnly: "But still It was Mr. Liu who had thought carefully.
It’s just that he was misrepresenting our Qingzhou laws.”
Chen Shi walked all the way and saw many such lonely big trees on the roadside, with one or two or three corpses hanging on them.
Some corpses have only skeletons left, but they have not been removed.
The wind blows, and the bones hanging on the tree collide with each other, making a crackling sound, like ripe nuts on the tree.
There are many evil spirits in the mountains and fields. From time to time, a human roar is emitted, and the evil spirits gather in the ravines or ponds. Some are gray, and some are green and visible to the naked eye.
Similar evil spirits are everywhere, floating in the mountains like clouds.
Chen Shi looked up at the sky. There was only the sun in the sky. The moon had not yet come out. Qingzhou’s Xie Chong was already moving around.
He saw several babies lying lazily on the roadside, with their baby-like heads hanging on the trees and taking a nap.
Chen Shi and the wooden cart passed by, and these hundreds of babies just opened their sleepy eyes
They looked at them in confusion as they walked by, then squinted their eyes and fell asleep again
They had no urge to hunt, which was very different from the evil spirits in other places
Chen Shi said in his heart: "These evil spirits Vegetarian, he ate too many convicts and became lazy
He walked more than ten miles and found the mountain road. After walking for six or seven miles, he saw a reed marsh. The reeds had grown long tail-like poles, like white and light gray fox tails, and they were in groups.
And Weidang Village was just opposite the reed marsh.
He took out a geographical map to check the direction, and came to the place near the foothills of Weidang Village
It was sparsely populated, with only an ancient temple standing at the foot of the mountain
In the field outside the temple, several big-eared weirdos sat or stood around the temple, listening and writing and drawing
"
Are the Heavenly Listeners monitoring the Temple of Fortune?
Chen Shi was quite surprised. After comparing it with the geographical map, it was indeed the right place.
But why were the Heavenly Listeners monitoring the Temple of Fortune?
There were some Heavenly Listeners monitoring Chen Shi some time ago, but after Chen Shi arrived at Danan Lake, the Heavenly Listeners seemed to have disappeared from the world and could no longer be found.
"
What did Tianqing do? Why are there so many Heavenly Listeners?
As soon as he thought of this, he saw Li Tianqing pushing open the temple door.
Li Tianqing was surprised and happy when he saw him. He hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Xiao Shi, I've finally waited for you!"
Chen Shi jumped off the wooden cart and said with a smile, "I was delayed in Qianyang Mountain for several days and have been worried about your safety.
It's great that you're okay!"
Li Tianqing raised the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "I plan to go out to Qingzhou Prefecture today to send a letter to tell you that I have nothing to do, so that you don't have to come.
I never thought you would have arrived!.
In the distance, the ears of the listeners stood straight, and the pens in their hands were swishing to record the conversation between the two.
Li Tianqing gave them a wary look, invited Chen Shi into the temple, and closed the temple door.
Chen Shi looked at the Temple of Wealth and saw that the interior of the temple had been cleaned by Li Tianqing, the doors, windows and roof had been repaired, and the yard was well maintained.
There are spiritual fields on the left and right sides, where some spiritual medicines are grown and are very healthy.
There is also a well in the courtyard, which has been cleaned
There is also a release pond, which has also been cleaned, and the water in it is crystal clear.
On the walls on both sides, there were criss-crossed bloodstains, as if someone had his head cut off with a very fast knife, and the blood flew out and splashed on the wall!
He felt an inexplicable pressure coming on him, and he couldn't help but look towards the main hall.
That is where the extraordinary power is most intense.
He walked forward, and the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger. It seemed that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him. The gods and demons who stood tall and tall were sitting in the mountain of swords and sea of fire, sleeping, and their bodies were extremely majestic. When he woke up and opened his eyes, his evil head would fall to the ground!
The closer Chen Shi got to this hall, the stronger the sense of oppression became, which made him jump with fear.
There are also many knife marks and shocking bloodstains on the walls of the temple
"
Tianqing, are you sure this is the Temple of Wealth, not the Temple of War?"
Chen Shi asked
Li Tianqing dragged the plaque and said with a smile: "Look,
Chen Shi looked at it and saw that it was indeed the Temple of Wealth, and he became more and more confused: "Is the sense of oppression from the God of Wealth so strong?
He had seen many gods from China, and the one with the strongest sense of oppression was the Guan Sheng Emperor. It was as if he had a big knife on his neck, ready to chop him off at any time!
But there was no evil atmosphere here. The main hall It should be the place where Li Tianqing practices.
There is sunlight shining down from another world.
Some children in yellow clothes and black hats are sunbathing in the temple.
Chen Shi senses carefully and does not notice the smell of evil elements. On the contrary, the three lights of righteousness here are very strong, and the righteousness of heaven and earth is abundant, no less than that of the small temple behind his head.
Although the extraordinary power of the shrine in the temple is gathering, it is still very early before it can be condensed into a divine form.
He visited for a week. This temple was different from other ancient temples he had seen before. Most of those ancient temples were in inaccessible places, but the Temple of Wealth was at the foot of the mountain, with its entrance facing Qingzhou City.
>
In the past two days, I have slept very soundly, and no evil spirits have broken into the temple.
Chen Shi also felt relieved and suggested: "Since you are not in serious trouble, why don't we just move this Temple of Wealth
Li Tianqing was stunned: "Move it?
Chen Shi smiled and said: "You need Sanguang Zhengqi to practice now. Where can you practice without this temple? Next year I will go to Xijing to take the imperial examination. How can you practice without the Temple of Wealth? Of course, I will take this Temple of Wealth with me. It is like a small temple behind my head. I can carry it with me and practice at any time." OK.
Li Tianqing asked for advice: "How to do it?"
Chen Shi looked around and said, "With this method, the entire God of Wealth Temple can be moved into a one-foot-square courtyard!
Li Tianqing knew about his talisman skills, and quickly bowed and said: "Please Xiao Shi.
Chen Shi sacrificed Nascent Soul, floated over the Temple of Wealth, and carefully observed the layout of the temple. Then he felled a big tree, cut off a section of wood, controlled the sword energy, and carved a temple on the wooden pile.
After Chen Shi completed the carving, he still needed to repeatedly imprint the talismans to ensure that the internal space of the temple was as large as the Temple of Wealth.
In this way, the Temple of Wealth can be moved to a small temple.
This is a delicate and delicate job that cannot be completed in a day or two.
When they talked about some sensitive points, the two of them wrote them down on paper to avoid being recorded by the listeners outside the temple.
After dinner, Chen Shi lit the lamp and continued to carve the small temple, while Li Tianqing gradually entered Mengduo.
Unknowingly, at midnight, Chen Shi also felt sleepy, yawned, and was about to put down the work in his hands. Suddenly, a great sense of oppression came over him, and in front of his eyes was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. Lai
Chen Shi’s heart was pounding, he mobilized his Yuanying, pumped up his energy and blood, and gradually he was able to see things around him, but his vision was still a little blurry,
He could only see the outline and could not see the details clearly.
At this moment, Li Tianqing, who was sleeping, stood up straight!
Chen Shi was about to wake him up when he saw Li Tianqing flying out of the hall. Chen Shi rushed out of the hall and saw Li Tianqing landing on a red flame horse, and a green dragon's energy whirled around him.
He ran out of the Temple of Wealth at great speed, only to see Li Tianqing already raising his knife several miles away. A green blade flew out, and one was devouring the corpses of prisoners hanging on both sides of the road. Xie Su was stunned, and his head fell off his neck.
The cut was so smooth that the corners of Chen Shi's eyes twitched wildly!
This knife was close to the Tao!
Li Tianqing galloped on his horse, his horse hooves stepping on the fire, killing evil all the way, and headed straight for Qingzhou City!
Chen Shi knew something was wrong, and immediately rushed forward with all his strength, but he was getting further and further away from Li Tianqing.
Li Tianqing was still a few miles away from the provincial capital of Qingzhou, when a blue sword light flew out and there was a roar. The gate of Qingzhou City flew up in the light of the sword and split into two halves!
Chen Shi looked from a distance, Li Tianqing struck again, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner hanging on the city suddenly split from the middle.
This magic weapon for holding the city was split open with a knife!
Chen Shi was frightened and rushed into Qingzhou City with Li Tianqing.
The city was in a commotion.
There were wanted criminals posted on the bulletin board at the city gate. When Chen Shi passed by, he glanced hastily and saw the bandit leader at the top of the list. He was riding a big horse covered in red flames, the fire was blazing, and he was holding a blue dragon sword in his hand. He looked murderous
And the face of the bandit leader was none other than Li Tianqing!
Chen Shi was stunned.
It turns out that the evil spirit in the temple is not evil spirits, but Tian Qing!
Wait a minute, then who is the one who goes to kill Tian Qing every night?
This time, Kavin is even more stuck than I thought!
