The coachman reined in his horse, slowed it down, and made a slight bounce. The little Daoist anxiously said, "If we walk slowly like this, will we reach the Three Purities Pavilion today?" The coachman couldn't help but say, "You guys are afraid of things, but also afraid of things too fast. How am I supposed to catch it? If you can do it, then hurry up. " The little Daoist kept arguing with him. The three girls tried again and again to persuade him. The car jolted through the night, and only when the sun rose did they arrive at the town of Gutta.

In the car, the four of them were in so much pain from being jolted that they preferred to abandon the car and walk. The four of them got off the car and stretched their muscles before finally feeling comfortable. The coachman followed. The little Daoist asked a man who was taking a morning walk: "Would it be good to go to the Three Purities Pavilion Road from here?" The man said, "Don't talk about going there. The roads within a hundred miles of us are all smooth and easy to walk on. "The road to the Three Purities Pavilion is the easier one to take."

The little Daoist was happy to hear this, but felt conflicted and said, "It's not easy to walk on the road from the ditch to this place after a bumpy night. "What's going on?"

The man said, "Why did you come all the way to the Three Purities Pavilion? Wrong way. That road is to Jinzhou, very easy to walk. The driver must have been unfamiliar with the road and thought it was so close. This road you have come to is used by the villages to pull in crops for temporary use. The grass is deep, and no one is going. "

He then asked, "Where are the people driving the carriage?"

"He's from Gouzi Street," said the little Daoist.

The man laughed and said, "Is he not familiar with this road? "They have evil intentions."

The little Daoist thanked the man for his advice, and went to the coachman to argue, "To think that you are such a clown, taking us this way. That mister has already said that you have evil intentions! You're too bad! Too damaging! To take money from someone is not loyal. You have taken the wrong way, tormented us, missed our time and our journey. " The coachman was silent. The three girls were afraid that he would continue to play tricks on them, so they advised the little Daoist, "Forget it, forget it. At least he was here. Little brother, don't say too much. "

The little Daoist did not say anything, but stared at him. Walking into a restaurant in town, the little Daoist said to the driver, "You've also had a hard night, so I'm sorry to trouble you. I asked someone if I could go to the Three Purities Pavilion Road. We went into the restaurant and had dinner before we left. " The three girls were glad to hear the way. After taking a look at the front of the restaurant, he then went to the restaurant to buy some food.

The driver rolled his eyes and the bad idea came again. He said to the little Daoist, "Please, Master. I went to drink the cattle. " The little Daoist looked at him as if he wanted to make a fool of him, and said, "Let you eat for free." I'll spend money on food. " The coachman smiled and said, "Sure, sure. "You go in first." When the little Daoist saw that he was really heading to the well to drink some cattle, he turned around and walked into the house.

The little Daoist entered the room and saw three old men drinking at the same table. They ate and told stories. Listening carefully was the story of the strong from ancient times until now. An old man said, "Now the bandit chief, 'A Lamp', has surpassed his predecessors. In broad daylight, under the solemn rule of the Republic of China, he dared to raise a flag to recruit troops and gather a crowd to rebel. How could the country not fall into chaos in the future? The people still want to live peacefully? "

The little Taoist and the three girls were eating while listening to the story. After the meal, the coachman had not come in yet. The little Daoist said, "It's already been half a day and the food has already turned cold. Why hasn't he come in yet? I'll go hurry him up. " The three girls followed him out, fearful that he was going to quarrel with the coachman. The four of them searched the front yard and back, but there was no sign of the car. The little Daoist said, "Did he go to another restaurant to eat? I told him to let him eat my money for nothing. "

At this moment, a woman walked in. She seemed to have just returned. A dustpan with a gong on one side and a broom on the other. Lady Lin stepped forward and asked, "How many restaurants are there in this town? Is there anything else around here? " The woman said, "One for each West Street, East Street, and three for this house." The woman left. Lady Lin said, "Dao brother, quickly go find him. There are also two other restaurants." The little Daoist first went to the restaurant on the west side to see if he could find it, then ran back to the restaurant on the east side to find it. The little Taoist came back and told the three girls, "This is bad! I've looked for both restaurants, and there's not even the shadow of a car. " When the three of them heard this, they panicked.

So the coachman's name was Wang Huan. Because he had a lot of bad ideas, he had been given the nickname "Worse". He often hoodwinks at foreign merchants. No one in the area uses his car. When the little Taoist and the three girls got into the car, he discovered that all four of them had money on them; they were up to no good. The little Taoist was frightened by the fact that he drew his sword when the car came to the deserted area to arouse his suspicion.

After dark, he repeated to himself, "A person with martial arts skills, regardless of gender or size, is good at hitting people. This little old Daoist had a treasured sword in his hand, and he was also clever, making him difficult to deal with. Once I make a move, even if the four of them were to beat me, I would definitely not be a match for them. I ended up losing my money and my life. " The little Daoist was on guard against him. Even if he walked until daylight, he would not be able to do anything. He took advantage of the little Taoist's arrival to finish his drink and ran back to the ditch in the car.

The four of them were anxiously looking for a car when a woman walked in from the back street. The four of them went up to ask, and the woman said, "You guys can stop looking. The driver was notoriously bad. I saw him in the car, clawing at the animals, running away and out of the street. They had run a few miles. How do you use his car? You're not going to pay up? "

The little Taoist said, "My master hired the car and paid for it. I didn't like him when I came here, and sure enough, he lied to us. Left us on the way. "

The woman said, "That person could be damaged. Earning unscrupulous money was still petty. I'm from Gouzi's mother's house. I came to visit last month with my child and came back to take a ride in his car. There were a few pairs of socks in the bag, but they were gone when he got home. Sitting in a car, who would have thought to be on guard against him? When I saw him driving away, I thought he was afraid I'd want socks. "

Having lost all hope, the four of them went back to the old man and asked him, "May I ask how far it is from here to the Three Purities Pavilion?" An old man said, "Let's leave now. We can only arrive at dusk."

"How far is it to Jinzhou from here?" The old man said, "But this one is close. We'll be there in just a couple of hours."

The four of them thanked the old man and walked out onto the street. They then asked another group of people, "Can we hire a car in this town?" Those people all said, "How could there be a taxi in this town? You can go. " So it turned out that when these men and women heard that the four of them had been tricked, they all understood.

The little Daoist felt panic and despair in his heart, but he did not dare to act in front of others. As the four of them walked out of town, he said, "This is bad. It would take them a day to get to the Three Purities Pavilion. They were afraid that something might happen to them. I'm not afraid, the three of you are young and attractive. What should I do? "

A broad city girl said, "Don't make things difficult for us, brother. I have relatives in Jinzhou, and the three of us are going to sue for marriage. You go to the Three Purities Pavilion alone. We won't implicate you. "

The little Daoist turned grief into joy and said, "This is great. As long as you have something to take care of, then nothing will happen to you. I'm a stinking Taoist and no one wants me. What's there to be afraid of if I walk alone? Let's not talk about anything else. I'll send you guys to Jinzhou first. "

Thus, the four of them stepped onto the road to Jinzhou and set out on their journey. That's right: bad people and bad things are bad, good people and good things are done. Before the four of them reached Jinzhou, they were also chased by a group of cavalrymen.

As for the four of them, they chatted as they walked, browsing the scenery. Unknowingly, he had already left Gutai Town. He suddenly saw a fork in the road leading to the Three Purities Pavilion. There was a guidepost at the intersection with the words "Road to the Three Purities Pavilion" engraved on it.

The three girls stopped when they saw the words on the stone. A girl with tears in her eyes said, "Little brother, let's break up. "This fork is for the Three Purities Pavilion." The little Daoist said, "Before we reach Jinzhou, I can't leave you behind." Lady Lin stopped the little Daoist and said, "Your path is very long, don't send me off. The three of us walked without a hitch. "Don't worry." The little Daoist then said, "Halfway through, I am worried. I will watch as you enter your relatives' house before I can leave. Don't say anything. "Walk."

Another girl said, "You see, from here to Jinzhou, there are many villages. When the three of us walk, you can rest assured that we won't be a burden to you. "Don't worry, little brother. Let's meet up early with Master."

The three then invited the little Daoist to their home as a guest before leaving in tears. The three of them were extremely grateful to the little Daoist Fa Ming for reconstructing his heart. The three of them turned their heads and walked away.

The young Daoist sat on the ground and watched the three of them. The three of them disappeared down the slope. Then he got up and said, "They are safe. As a man, I am able to support myself and walk alone. I am not afraid of anything. " He took the road to the Three Purities Pavilion and started running.

He was about a mile away when he saw a squadron of cavalrymen running toward him from the direction of the town of Gutta. The cavalrymen ahead were almost at the crossroads. He said in shock, "Crap! This must be after us. These bandits are really powerful. They chased us all the way here. They know me, what should I do? " He hurried to hide in the bushes by the side of the road.

He walked a few steps and thought, "I can't hide. The three sisters could at most walk two or three miles before the cavalry could catch up to them. Let the cavalry chase me and they'll be safe. If they catch me, I'm talking nonsense. At most I'll get a beating. " He stood there, standing on his toes and looking out at the cavalry. I'm afraid the cavalry can't see him.

As expected, when the horsemen reached the fork in the road, they reined their horses and looked at the road. Someone pointed and said, "There's a man there. "Chase them down and ask them." Then they all ran down the road and galloped after the little Taoist. The little Daoist turned and ran again when he saw the cavalry chasing him. The cavalrymen quickly ran in front of the little Daoist, and reined in their horses to surround him. The young Daoist looked at them and saw that they were a group of soldiers. He did not recognize any of them, so he was relieved.

Seeing that the little Daoist was a child, all the cavalrymen jumped down from their horses and asked, "On your way here, did you see an old Daoist and three young ladies?"

The little Daoist felt somewhat puzzled and thought, "They obviously came to chase after me and the three ladies. Why are they asking me this?" It occurred to him to lie and say, "I saw it. An old Daoist and three beautifully dressed ladies. "

"Where did they go?" "How long has it been?" The little Daoist said, "The old Daoist and the three young maidens were just walking in front when a group of cavalrymen came to pick them up. When we got close, they helped us all onto horses and ran back. "

The cavalrymen looked at each other for a moment and then asked, "How many are there in that group? What clothes? Did you hear what they said? "

And the little Taoist spouted nonsense and said, "That gang of forty or more people, they wear multicolored clothes. They say the commander of a lamp is in a hurry. They must be the people of a lamp. Hurry up and catch up, you can still catch up. "

When the leader of the soldiers heard this, he cursed, "Damn it, this Lamp of Lights is going against the 28th Division. He would not even bother to pay for the official position. We have to go all the way against us. This bastard had really hardened his heart after suffering such a heavy burden. Now he's putting up flags in our district to show us off. These three girls and that old Taoist are related to the future and fate of our twenty-eight divisions. They got it again. This time, no matter what happens, we will definitely not spare him. " He glanced at the soldiers and said, "More than forty of them have come. A dozen of us. The difference was huge. I can't chase after them. "
