On this day, if someone came to Wang Zhe with a pheasant in his mouth.
"Want to eat beggar's chicken again? Didn't I tell you that I should eat less meat in the future and eat more grains and wild fruits in the mountains?"
Woof woof, woof.
“Should dogs eat meat?”
Laifu barked twice more.
"I also learned to talk back."
Wang Zhe waved his hand and a rope flew out, like a flying rainbow, and landed on Laifu, immediately entangling it. Laifu fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move, and could only moan softly.
"You just know how to eat. Let's think about how to break this "Feihong Lock" first, right?"
"With such a big appetite, it seems like I have to go down the mountain."
Laifu's body is getting bigger and bigger, and his food intake is also astonishing. For the time being, he cannot live by eating wind and drinking dew like some mountain spirits. It has almost eaten enough food in the mountains.
Not long after Wang Zhe came down the mountain, he saw two guards riding horses and riding past in a hurry. It seemed that something urgent had happened.
After walking a few miles, he met a group of beggars on the road.
After asking, I found out that they were all people living near Pengze. Some time ago, heavy rains fell in Pengze, causing floods that submerged the sky, earth, and houses, leaving them homeless.
This time he did not go to Lizhou County, which was relatively nearby, but to Kuaiji Prefecture.
In addition to buying some things, he was also going to inquire about some information.
The tributes were robbed, the governor and the county magistrate were killed, and another monster appeared in Guobei County. Each of these was a major event and the court would not leave it alone.
Last time, Feng Zhenglong from "Tianfeng Pavilion" brought him some trouble.
Whether it was the "Lost Soul Bell" or the "Feihong Lock", he saw how unique and terrifying these magic weapons were, and he might fall for them if he wasn't careful.
These days in the mountains, he is also thinking about his next path.
Since he is the top grade, he should first find a way to break the barrier between immortals and mortals.
Many magic weapons have little effect on human immortals.
Once you reach that point in your practice, you can better communicate with heaven and earth, and by borrowing the power between heaven and earth, you will be more confident in dealing with the monkey.
He stopped and walked along the way and met many people who were fleeing.
When he arrived at Kuaiji Mansion and entered the city, he found that there were more beggars here.
He first went to a restaurant in the city.
If you want to know what major events have happened in this city recently, the best place is to go to a teahouse or restaurant, where people will most likely talk about these things.
A few dishes, a bottle of wine, and quietly listening to people chatting in the restaurant.
"What happened to this city recently? There are so many beggars?"
"I heard that they came from Pengze, and there was a flood in Pengze, which flooded many places."
"Is there still flooding at this time of year?"
"I heard that there was a monster in Pengze Lake who was excited and causing trouble, causing the flood. In order to defeat the monster, the court even used Pengze's navy, which also attracted fire from the sky."
"Tianhuo, what kind of monster is that so powerful?"
"Then I don't know."
Peng Ze, monster?
Wang Zhe looked out the window and looked at the beggars on the street. They were in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions and thin skin.
"Is it a monster harming people again?"
Seeing that it was noon, three more people came into the restaurant. The walking posture of those three people was different from ordinary people, and they showed that they had great skills.
"Gentlemen, the private rooms upstairs are reserved for you!" When the waiter saw these people coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and led them upstairs.
After a while, the dishes were brought up. It was obvious that those people had unusual identities. Wang Zhe listened attentively.
"That guy is really not a thing. He brought us here. Instead, he said that our guards were unlucky and that the criminal escaped!"
"The official level is overwhelming. Not to mention that we can't go back. Even if we go back to the capital, the adults above will only believe him or not us."
"I've already found someone to take care of it. No matter how much money I spend, it's important to save my life first!"
"Come, drink."
"Why did Prince Linyuan send people here? Why is he paying attention to this matter?"
"You don't know this. Guo Ding was able to take the position of prefect of Kuaiji thanks to the advice of Prince Linyuan. It is said that they have known each other since their ancestors."
"Prince Linyuan is a close minister of His Majesty, can we..."
"Don't think about it. Those people have already left, so why should he help us? By the way, another Taoist priest died in the prison last night."
"If you die, you will die. You will be killed sooner or later anyway."
Wang Zhe could hear the conversation between these people clearly. They were the few Baiqisi internal guards who stayed behind.
In prison, Taoist priests? Those Taoist priests from Songfengguan are still in prison.
"Please be kind and give me something to eat."
"Go away, get out of here."
A burst of curses interrupted Wang Zhe's thoughts. It turned out that there was a seven or eight-year-old child begging at the door of the building. The waiter pushed him out and fell to the ground. After getting up, he secretly wiped his tears and sobbed softly.
.
"You're so hungry, come on, can I give you this?"
Wang Zhe handed these buns to the children.
"Thank you. You are a good person and will be rewarded. Bodhisattva will bless you."
After taking the bun, the child hid it with ragged clothes, as if he was afraid of being robbed, and then turned around and ran away.
Wang Zhe thought for a while, ordered another basket of steamed buns, and followed behind him.
Soon he followed the girl to a dilapidated house at the foot of a city. He saw the child going in and came to a dying child. He escaped and handed the steamed bun to his mouth.
"Xiao Zhan, eat something, some steamed buns." The child moved his lips and took a bite.
A few beggars nearby asked about the smell and came over. The child was holding a bun in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other. He was staring at the people nearby, his body trembling slightly.
"Get out of the way!" a voice sounded, and several beggars turned to look, only to see a young man walking towards them carrying a basket of steamed buns.
The eyes were a bit cold, they didn't dare to look at each other, they lowered their heads subconsciously, and then backed away.
"A group of adults and two children were fighting for something to eat!"
"My benefactor." When the child saw Wang Zhe coming, he hurriedly said hello.
"Is this your brother?"
"Yeah." The child nodded.
"He is sick." Wang Zhe saw that the Qi on the top of the child's head was very weak and was still entangled with gray Qi.
Wang Zhe helped him up, regained some of his energy, and then tapped the child's body a few times, pushing along the meridians on his back to drain out the blood.
After a while, the child's face looked much better, and the ominous gray in the breath above his head also dissipated.
"Where are you from?"
"Pengze."
"You can eat first, there is another cage here."
The child ate the buns with big mouthfuls and devoured them. He was obviously very hungry.
"Why are you begging?"
"There was a flood in Pengze, and there was fire from the sky. Our house was flooded. My parents took us to seek refuge with our relatives, but we encountered robbers on the way and our parents were killed." The child burst into tears as he spoke.
Come down.
"Master Lin, how many are there here, how about you take a look?"
Just as he was saying this, four people came to the ruined courtyard, two of them holding sticks in their hands.
"Hey, who are you? Get out of here!" One person glanced at Wang Zhe and said sternly.
Bang, the response was a slap, and the man flew out spinning, fell to the ground, and passed out immediately. The remaining three people were stunned with fear.
"Forgive me, good man, but we have blind eyes and cannot see the mountains." The three men turned around and started to run away.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing here?" Wang Zhe said coldly. The three people still wanted to run, but they suddenly fell to their knees on the ground at the same time.
The three men trembled and told the truth.
They heard that there were beggars here, and they were going to pick out the children. If they were girls, they could be sold to the government or a brothel when they were raised, while boys could be sold as hard labor or trained as thugs.
"You do this kind of thing a lot, right?" Wang Zhe's eyes became colder after hearing this.
"No, you didn't do much?"
"How many people have you killed?" Wang Zhe pointed to the leader among them.
"No, no, it's illegal to kill someone. How dare you?" the man said hurriedly.
nonsense,
On the spot, Wang Zhe slapped him away from the air, threw him against the wall of the courtyard, and stuck him directly on it.
"You two."
"My hero, spare your life. We really didn't kill anyone. He has killed people, and he killed more than one. Once again, I saw him throwing a person into the river with my own eyes!"
One of them kowtowed and pointed at the person who was slapped away by Wang Zhe just now.
"Ah, yes, yes." Another person echoed.
Well, Wang Zhe nodded, asked two more questions, and then slapped those two people away.
The two children on the side were very excited, and the beggars not far away were frightened.
"My dear friend, can you teach me this? I want to beat up bad guys too!" The child, who has not yet recovered from the illness, clenched his little fists.
"You can't learn it in an instant." Wang Zhe smiled.
"Please teach me." The child knelt down and was about to kowtow. Wang Zhe gently waved his hand and dragged him up.
If you think about it carefully, this can be regarded as fate.
He then passed on a few mantras to the two children, which were recorded in the Taoist scriptures. Long-term practice can strengthen the body.
Afterwards, Wang Zhe left here, taking the four people away with him.
Some deserve death, and some crimes deserve punishment not even death!
About half an hour later, shrill shouts rang out from an alley.
"Kill people, kill people!"
"Jinlai Tower" is also a famous place in Kuaiji Mansion.
Wang Zhe stood in front of the impressive building.
A thug carries several lives on his back, but what about the shopkeeper behind him? How many evil things must he have done?
So he came.
The shopkeeper of Jinlailou is a fat middle-aged man who usually smiles and has a kind face, just like Maitreya Buddha.
On the top floor of the building, in a very luxurious room, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe was talking to a fat man.
"Shopkeeper, the money was sent over. Ten thousand taels were collected by Captain Yu's wife."
"Just accept it, I'm telling you, there's no one in this world who doesn't love money.
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. How can the prefect and the county magistrate who have been killed not be noble on the surface but do things secretly better than us?
Having money can make the devil push the wheels, but if he doesn't push the wheels, it's just because he doesn't have enough money!"
