"Brother, aren't you eating? Why don't you eat?"
Li Kui started to complain as Wu Song dragged him away. He was already feeling dizzy on the boat. When he got ashore today, he just wanted to have a big meal and didn't want to go back to the boat. Qinbei Pavilion
"Did those few birds offend my brother? I'm going to chop them up right now!"
Li Kui thought that the four Feibao people had offended Sun Lei in some way, so he started to struggle and wanted to go back and kill him.
"Tieniu, why do you always think about killing people? People treat each other with courtesy, we just do it first."
Lu Zhishen gave Li Kui a slap in the face. He had taught Li Kui Buddhism for so long but could not dissolve this stubborn rock. He still looked like a bird until now. He was so angry that he wanted to hit him.
"Brother, what are you doing in the middle of the night? Why don't you leave tomorrow?"
Li Kui is really afraid of riding in a boat. He has been floating on the water for more than ten days. Now he faints when he sees the water.
"elder brother!"
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi waved to Sun Lei and others from the boat.
"Xiaowu and Xiaoqi are really smart people. They knew to prepare the ship before my brother even opened his mouth."
Yang Zhi looked at Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu and sighed, this tacit understanding is extraordinary.
"Huzhou is slightly south of the west, so you can find the direction."
Sun Lei got on the boat and looked at Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi and asked.
"Brother, don't worry. Although this is your first time here, the moon and stars are sparse tonight, so you won't be heading in the wrong direction!"
Ruan Xiaowu patted his chest and said.
"Brother, although we are not familiar with this Taihu Lake, the water surface after dark is the same as our Liangshan Lake. The moon guides the way, making it easy to find the direction."
Ruan Xiaoqi took the oar and oar and prepared to rock it and sail the boat out of the harbor.
"elder brother!"
The shouts of Fei Bao and others came, and four people were seen running over in a hurry.
"Brother, we are familiar with the terrain and are willing to lead the way for him!"
Fei Bao spoke.
"I am willing to lead the way for my brother!"
Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng also said in unison.
"Thank you very much!"
Sun Lei was not polite. Xiaowu and Xiaoqi would definitely be fine on the lake, but not when they reached the shore. Shuidang, harbor forks, and tributaries all required acquaintances to guide them.
Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng were overjoyed after hearing this. Bu Qing and Di Cheng jumped on the fishing boat next to them and started to lead the way. Fei Bao and Ni Yun took the oars and boarded Sun Lei's boat to help Ruan Xiaoqi. boating.
When the sky was getting brighter, the ship finally arrived at the west bank of Taihu Lake. Under the guidance of the four men of Fei Bao, it successfully bypassed the reeds and crossed the harbor fork to land.
"Brother, further west is Huzhou. This waterway is unreachable."
Fei Bao pointed to the west and said.
"Come ashore!"
Sun Lei gave the order, and Li Kui was the first to jump ashore.
"I Tieniu is finally on the ground again!"
Li Kui knew that he would not have to take a boat for the next few days, and he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Taking a boat was simply torture for him, worse than meditating and chanting sutras with Lu Zhishen.
The group walked for another half a day before they saw Huzhou City.
"Strange, why is the city so heavily guarded at noon?"
Yang Zhi frowned as he looked at Huzhou City. At this time, Huzhou City had flags fluttering and soldiers in armor, looking like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"They must be afraid of us!"
Li Kui said proudly.
"Our whereabouts have not been revealed, what are they afraid of? Besides, we only have a few people, do we need to be afraid of a city?"
Sun Lei shook his head.
"Brother, there should be people from the Ming Cult causing trouble outside the city. This often happens in the south of the Yangtze River. Those Ming Cult believers often gather to hold meetings and preach. They are very loud. If they can't control it, they may attack the city. Several Months ago, they attacked Qingxi City, beheaded the county magistrate and a number of officials, and then retreated into the mountains."
Fei Bao spoke.
"Is the Ming Cult so rampant?"
Wu Song couldn't believe it. A strong man dared to openly and blatantly carry out activities outside the state capital, and force the state capital to feel like it was facing a formidable enemy. This was even more arrogant than Liang Shanbo.
"Huzhou is also a big city with thousands of troops. How can it be afraid of a mere Mingjiao?"
Yang Zhi didn't believe it either. As a martial arts graduate, he knew the local military very well. A cult like the Mingjiao was just pretending to be a ghost. It was worse than bandits and bandits. How could the officers and soldiers be afraid of it?
"Brothers, you don't know. There are many Mingjiao believers, and they are all very fanatical. The ones scattered outside the city can be said to be scattered. If they really dare to attack the city, the army will be dispersed in one kill. But who knows how many Mingjiao believers there are in the city. ? Are there any Mingjiao believers lurking in the army? Once the fighting starts, no one can guarantee the outcome."
"Also, this Mingjiao has followers all over the south of the Yangtze River, and many local officials, generals, and soldiers have family records. Although this Mingjiao's slogans are good, its actions are extremely vicious. But if it is pushed into a hurry, it may also implicate innocent family members, so the officials in various places in the south of the Yangtze River have They all stay away, and as long as they don't cause trouble, they just pretend they don't see it."
Fei Bao and others explained that the Ming Cult in Jiangnan was not easy to deal with.
"Been taught a lesson!"
Yang Zhi's face darkened, and he clasped his fists at Fei Bao and the others. In an instant, he understood that his knowledge was shallow and he had no military experience at all. He thought about things too simply. He thought that a small cult was leading the troops. It can be wiped out easily, but I didn't expect that there are so many entanglements in the middle. It can affect the whole body with one move. If you take action rashly, the whole Jiangnan will be in chaos. No wonder all the states in Jiangnan are helpless against this Mingjiao.
"You're welcome, Ambassador Yang. We have also seen too much in Jiangnan. The local government in Jiangnan is ruthless in extortion and the Mingjiao is ruthless, so the four of us live in seclusion in Taihu Lake to find a little living space in the cracks."
Fei Bao and others shook their heads.
"Brother, where are we going to find Pang Wanchun? That guy really only talked about Huzhou when he left, and didn't tell me which village he was from!"
Li Kui complained as he looked at the heavily guarded Huzhou City. Anyone entering or leaving the city gate was strictly questioned, and they could not enter the city at all.
"Go wherever there are many Mingjiao people, and you will always find them!"
Sun Lei looked at the chaos outside Huzhou City and shook his head. It was difficult to find someone to ask about Pang Wanchun's address in the chaos. It was better to go directly to the Mingjiao people.
"This is a good idea!"
Everyone bypassed Huzhou City and followed the believers holding incense and candles to the west.
After walking westward along the official road for an hour, I gradually saw the mountains. There was an altar set up at the foot of the mountain. Around the altar was a circle of men in white clothes, and in the middle of the altar was a man in purple. , in front of this man was a square copper cauldron, incense candles were burning inside the cauldron, and wisps of green smoke rose up. The man finally recited unknown scriptures "buzzingly", and the believers in the audience knelt down and kowtowed in prayer.
"Master Lu, what kind of sutra are you reciting? Why does it resemble Amitabha Buddha?"
Sun Lei didn't understand the scriptures, and he didn't even understand why the scriptures had to be recited in a "buzzing" way. He was unclear, and people who weren't familiar with the scriptures couldn't understand them at all. Even if he recited them wrong, no one would know, so he couldn't. Do you pronounce the words clearly and clearly?
"Sajia is a monk, how can he understand the evil scriptures of these evil cults!"
Lu Zhishen said angrily, this Mingjiao doesn't look like a good thing.
"Amitabha, this senior brother has said it! Mingjiao is also the righteous Dharma, so where does the theory of evil cults and evil scriptures come from!"
A deep voice sounded, and Sun Lei turned around to see a fat monk who looked like Lu Zhishen walking over.
