Chapter 73： car rattle

It has been 253 years since the founding of Yu State. Qingyuan City in Qingzhou experienced many wars at the beginning of the founding of the country, and then it was rebuilt many times. Now that singing and dancing are on the rise, Qingyuan City has more than doubled in size compared to what it was more than two hundred years ago.

Originally, the hill where Zhang Shiping was located was far away from Qingyuan City, and the mountain road was rugged, and the nearby villagers had to walk for two hours with their feet, but now from the east gate of Qingyuan City, there is a road that can The Loess Avenue, which accommodates four carriages in parallel, leads directly to the foot of the mountain. It was built by the three families of Zhao, Sun and Li in the city eight years ago. Building roads and bridges is the favorite thing of the Liangshan family. Building such a road will bring good fortune for decades. reputation.

But it is not easy to build such a road that is similar to the official road and is tens of miles long. First of all, the loess on the road is steamed in cages and then paved, so as to ensure that half of the road does not grow. Weeds, and then hammered and leveled, so that as long as there is no heavy rain that is rare in a century, the road will not be muddy.

Before dawn, a few veterans guarding the city, with some ruffian in their oily work, slowly closed the city gate. There were five carriages on the road outside the east gate of the city, rattling away towards the outside of the city. , Chen Dui, who was defending the city, was holding a blue cloth money bag in his forehand, and weighed it a few times in his hand. Several casually dressed soldiers next to him rushed over after closing the door.

Another impatient guy stretched out his hand, and he didn't know what he was muttering. Team Chen was reaching out and slapped a hand like a chicken paw, "Why is it so urgent, there are no rules."

The people next to him were old-timers, and the thin monkey who stretched out his hand was Chen Duizheng's brother-in-law, so he could be a little more reckless, but they wouldn't dare to do anything directly. Not to mention that the last yellow team lost his job, I heard that a few days later, he still carried his things and went to the official home of Chen team.

What's more, everyone in the Chen team is accepting errands, and they can drink a mouthful of soup even if they can't eat meat. Life is very enjoyable, much better than before under the squeezed Huang Laokou.

Team Chen opened the money bag in front of everyone, there was a large ingot of silver and more than a dozen pieces of silver in it, the torch shone over, the silver was shining, and the eyeballs of the onlookers were glued to it, Team Chen raised his forehand As soon as they were lifted, their eyeballs ran up, and when they were pressed down, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

Everyone looked eagerly at Team Chen putting the big ingot of silver into his bosom and throwing the rest over, they immediately burst into laughter.

The thin monkey pressed two small pieces of silver into his belt, and leaned over to his fourth brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, tell me what is hidden in that car, it's so mysterious, and we won't let us take a look at it. "

Team Chen was patting the thin monkey, and said angrily, "Why do you care so much? You can't stop your mouth if you have money?"

"The money can block the upper one, but it all flows out from the bottom. Brother-in-law, please give me more." The thin monkey stretched out his hand with a smile. Last month, there was a girl like a dream in the Chunfeng Building, Cardamom Nianhua, but With the appearance of a phantom fox demon, Thin Monkey spent all his money on her, the taste of ecstasy, tsk tsk, his bones are crisp when he thinks about it, he swallows several mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously.

Chen Dui just ignored his brother-in-law. Some people's greed can't be filled. Even if a mountain is filled in this hole, there is no tip left. I was able to help him find this job because of my daughter-in-law's begging.

Chen Dui was turning around and leaving. It was so early today to open the door for these people. In this weather, if you don’t go home and hug your wife in bed, how can you go to Chunfeng Building to find a concubine? Chen Dui is shaking his head with a smile. His daughter-in-law just bought a new washboard a few days ago. Thinking of this, his knees hurt a little. Could it be that the weather is going to turn cold recently?

…

Zhang Shiping fell on a hill outside the city, and there was a Taoist temple built on the hillside, the Taoist temple was dark at night, only a few rooms were still lit, and the doorkeeper was drowsy.

Zhang Shiping used the invisibility technique, and released several kinds of qi-retaining formulas, most of these formulas were found in the Buddhist scripture pavilion, and only one was the secret technique given to him by Master Xu.

On the way, while driving the Qingling ancient boat, Zhang Shiping practiced the secret technique called Feathering Technique on it. This secret technique is not too difficult. The door feathering technique has mastered a bit.

Zhang Shiping wandered around the Taoist temple expressionlessly, his spiritual consciousness kept sweeping everywhere, the main hall, the central hall, the backyard of the Taoist temple, even the humble woodshed, well, and abandoned houses, he did not let go place.

He kept his composure and checked all the Taoist temples, and his spiritual consciousness swept several feet deep into the ground.

It took half the night, Zhang Shiping saw that the sky was getting brighter, and then he disappeared.

In a dense forest outside the Taoist temple, in a phantom formation where a figure is hidden. Zhang Shiping already knew the truth, but he frowned. The information in the jade slips given to him by Zongmen Jindan said that there were five low-level qi training monks here, and there was another monk who was suspected to be at the seventh level of qi training.

But Zhang Shiping turned around, and he only found five qi-training monks in the Taoist temple, none above the fourth level of qi-training. There was also a monk who was suspected to be in the late stage of qi-training, but he didn't find any trace.

According to the information on the Jade Slips of the Zongmen, this cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training is an important figure in contact with the Ten Thousand Blood Sect's stronghold in Qingzhou, Yuguo. But their cultivation was low, and they didn't dare to follow this person directly, for fear of being found out and killing themselves, so up to now, Zhang Shiping still doesn't know where the Ten Thousand Blood Cult's stronghold is.

Zhang Shiping hasn't gone to the Zongmen Hall in Qingyuan City yet, but he still remembers the last time the Zongmen Hall was in Fengyi County, Qi State. Many immortal cultivators who have not made any progress in cultivation for more than ten years meet someone who can increase their mana and let him take another step forward on the road to longevity, even if it is just a little bit, who will care about good and evil at that time, as long as it is useful can.

In the early morning on the mountain, in front of Zhang Shiping's formation, there were a few small birds with gray-brown feathers perched on the branches of the tree, their wings fluttered, chirping, and jumping on the branches.

The distant mountain wind blew, and the leaves whirled and rustled. Zhang Shiping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, moved his ears slightly. He still closed his eyes, but turned his head to listen to the sound in the wind.

But after he stood up, with a wave of his sleeves, six blue flags stuck on the ground suddenly flew up, forming a straight line and flew towards his palm one by one, Zhang Shiping entered a little bit into the storage bag Mana, collect the six flags in his hand.

Zhang Shiping was walking through the forest, and within half a cup of tea, he arrived at the place where the sound came from. Instead of going out, he hid himself, restrained his breath, and watched the carriages in front of him driving on the mountain road.

The five carriages were all about the same size. In the front of the carriage sat a middle-aged man who looked like a butler in a green gown and a black round cap. A man next to him was waving a whip. There was a hollow sound in the air, "drive, drive."

Zhang Shiping squinted his eyes and looked at the carriages in front of him. The five drivers were not ordinary people. Although he was quite far away from these carriages, with the assistance of the Celestial Eye Technique, Zhang Shiping saw that the five coachmen were all powerful, with strong hands and feet, and powerful swings, and their temples on both sides were even more bulging. In the secular arena, he is a first-class master.

There are not many people in the secular world who can make these people willing to be coachmen. Zhang Shiping stroked his beard. Among these people, he was most interested in the man who looked like a housekeeper.

Under Zhang Shiping's Heaven's Eye technique, one can clearly see the faint aura on that person's body. This person is an immortal cultivator with a cultivation base of the sixth level of Qi training. Zhang Shiping wondered if this is the suspected late Qi training monk.

After all, the disciples at the entrance of the Zongmen's gate in Yuancheng during Yu Guoqing, at most, were only at the fifth level of Qi training, so it was inevitable that they would misjudge the opponent's cultivation level.

No matter how fast the carriage is, Zhang Shiping hangs behind without haste, watching these carriages passing a forked mountain road, and after turning left, the only one going up that mountain road is the Taoist temple that Zhang Shiping inspected last night Now, Zhang Shiping became more certain about his speculation in his heart.
