Two carriages, Xiao Hei and the old shopkeeper, ran on the official road, heading towards Yecheng.
But Baiyu Temple was in chaos.
Not to mention that the elders of Luohan Hall were completely blind, even the abbot lost an arm. This was not the most terrifying thing.
Because the monks on duty in the main hall discovered that the magical weapons in the hands of the three Buddhas were not only smashed into pieces by the young man.
What frightened them was that there was a tear on the face of the Third Buddha that could not be wiped away.
A drop of golden tears hung on the face of the Third Buddha. The monk on duty put up an air and carefully held a handkerchief, but he couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard he wiped it off.
For a moment, the elders and disciples from the temple who came after hearing the news fell down in front of the Buddha and chanted scriptures in unison.
While crusading against the evil deeds of the world, he secretly regretted his own actions.
Suddenly, there was a burst of urgent chanting in Baiyu Temple, echoing in the main hall and spreading to the surrounding pagodas.
Before the monks could recover, the monk soldiers who had narrowly escaped chasing Xiao Hei came to report. Hundreds of monk soldiers were knocked down by a divine thunder into the river. Their life and death were unknown, and they obviously could not come back.
The abbot, who had just bandaged his wound, spurted a mouthful of blood three feet away from the Buddhist hall upon hearing this.
With a look of shock on his face, he shouted: "Quickly report to the officials in Liangzhou City to catch today's murderer."
It was night, the city lord of Liangzhou City received a letter asking for help from Baiyu Temple. The forty-year-old city lord looked at you and laughed.
He threw the letter in his hand on the table.
He said calmly: "These guys will be dealt with one day."
The master asked carefully: "Since they have sent a letter, you have to show off, right?"
"Be a shit!"
The city lord waved his hand and said: "They know where that young man came from, where he is going, and who his name is? Who knows if there is someone behind him that we cannot offend?"
The master was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile: "Then I will hang a notice outside the city gate to let everyone know that an evil person has gone to Baiyu Temple and that the criminal is wanted in Liangzhou City."
As a result, everyone in Liangzhou City knew that the Baiyu Temple outside the city had been invaded by a villain.
The next day, some good people went to Baiyu Temple together. They wanted to see the tears of the third Buddha.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, they found that Baiyu Temple had been closed. It was said that it would not be open to the public until the murderer was arrested and brought to justice.
People's curiosity became even more intense, and they all speculated whether half of the main hall of Baiyu Temple was cut off by the young man's sword, causing the abbot and the monk to issue a decree to close the mountain.
At this time, Xiao Hei was on his way to Yecheng.
Except for his brother Li Xiuyuan who took him with him before, seeing the Buddha in Baiyu Temple this time was the first time he had entered a temple in his life.
Unexpectedly, he replayed the scene that happened when his brother was in Tianluo City and Jinguang Temple.
The difference is that the opponents were replaced by the elders of Luohan Hall and the abbot of Baiyu Temple.
The two little guys are very good at it. Under Xiao Hei's continuous teaching every day, Xiao Qingqing has learned to bab and shout "Guo Guo!"
Little White Lang Yaner is changing every moment, her coat is getting brighter and her eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
The old shopkeeper said that the little one had only refined less than half of the inner elixir of the big snake, and she had to slowly absorb and refine the rest by herself.
If it comes, it turns into two little guys who have not yet gathered their energy, but are refining elixirs and tempering their bodies all the time.
Looking at the cold wind that was gradually rising on the official road, Xiao Hei sighed and said: "I didn't expect that when we arrived at the Imperial City of Northern Qi, it would almost snow."
The little white wolf Yan'er howled twice, obviously not taking this winter seriously.
Xiao Hei was stunned, looked at her and smiled: "What are you talking about? Have you never seen the river frozen?"
While they were shouting, the carriage stopped.
Hearing the sound in front of him, Xiao Hei opened the car curtain and saw a majestic city that was much taller and majestic than Liangzhou City.
"Sir, the Imperial City of Northern Qi has arrived."
The driver turned around and greeted Xiao Hei: "The shopkeepers in front are queuing up, waiting to have their identities checked and enter the city."
"Oh!" Xiao Hei muttered: "Then just wait, I didn't expect to arrive at the imperial city now."
Looking down at the two little guys, he grinned and said, "Don't be afraid, it hasn't snowed yet today."
The high city walls intimidate everyone who comes from afar, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression, as if if you dare to mess around, this majestic city will suppress you at any time.
Xiao Qingqing obviously didn't show any fear, but pulled Xiao Hei's sleeve and shouted: "Eat, eat..." The little guy rode the carriage all the way and was hungry again.
"Don't worry, I'll find a place to stay in the city and I'll feed you two as much as you want."
Xiao Hei touched the heads of the two little guys and said with a smile: "In the days to come, you will grow up slowly in this imperial city. I don't know when my brother will come to us."
Squinting his eyes, Xiao Hei put down the curtain in his hand. He did not expect that the Imperial City of Northern Qi in his dream would look like this before. It seemed not as good as the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty?
This is too fast, isn’t it? The snow hasn’t fallen yet? I don't seem to be mentally prepared at all.
Yecheng in the Northern Qi Dynasty has arrived.
…
It was different from what Xiao Hei had imagined. He originally thought that he would stay in the inn with the two little ones for a few days.
But I never thought that the Empress had already rented a shop in Yecheng. Although it was not in the center of the market, it was much better than the one at No. 47 of the Imperial City.
Just around the corner from the busiest market in Yecheng, and just a few steps away from Shop No. 17 in an alley, two carriages stopped.
The old shopkeeper Yu Wencheng knocked on the door, and two waiters immediately came out to answer the door.
The man guarding here was deeply shocked when he saw that there were only two carriages, one old and one young with two children.
The letter they had received before was that this trip should be a caravan with more than thirty people. For this reason, they had to rent a few more yards in order to accommodate the many brothers.
The old shopkeeper shook his head, frowned and looked at the coachman Lao Wang behind him who was driving the carriage to the backyard and said: "You two have a rest for two days, and then follow these two guys back to the imperial city."
When the boy heard that something had happened, he didn't say much, but led the two of them to the backyard.
The room in the courtyard was very clean. Apparently the guy had just hired someone to clean it.
Xiao Hei took out the goat's milk and poured two bowls of it to feed the little guy. After a while, the two waiters and the old shopkeeper walked into the living room.
The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hei and said, "I want to tell the Queen about the strange things that happened and ask her not to send anyone over for the time being. What else do you have to say?"
"There's nothing to say. Tell your queen that Xiao Hei will stay here with peace of mind, so she shouldn't worry."
Xiao Hei thought for a moment and then said, "Let's wait for two more days. I'll go around the streets and buy some gifts for Sister Qingyu and go back later."
The two imperial guards were both from the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty. After hearing Xiao Hei mention the empress and Qing Yu, he naturally knew that Xiao Hei's status was not low.
He didn't ask much at the moment, but went to the yard to help the driver move things.
The old shopkeeper looked at the two little guys enjoying their meal and sighed: "Many of the goods on our road have been damaged by the big snake. As a result, I'm afraid we won't be able to open a grocery store."
Xiao Hei wiped the mouths of the two little guys and said with a smile: "Move this matter later. I will go shopping tomorrow and you can ask them to help me prepare two jugs of milk."
Regarding opening a store, Xiao Hei and his brother have been together for a long time, and they have already figured out some tricks.
Besides, the two of them are just lurking in the imperial city, and they are not really doing business to make a lot of money.
In his opinion, even if he works harder and imitates his brother in brewing some wine, he can still survive in the imperial city.
What he is anxious about right now is to buy two dairy goats and raise them himself. Even if he couldn't find a place in the city that sold goat's milk, he estimated that the two little ones would be able to eat meat like him until next spring at most.
After eating, the two little guys closed their eyes. Xiao Hei picked them up in a large sunny room, put them on the bed, and turned around to walk into the yard.
After walking around the yard twice, he called out two waiters and the old shopkeeper.
Pointing to the gate of the backyard, he said: "If it doesn't work here, we'll have craftsmen come over today and build two layers of stone walls here. Also, chop down the two trees outside the yard."
"Why are you cutting down the trees? Do you want to barbecue?"
The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "You can buy firewood for barbecue at the market."
Xiao Hei shook his head: "Shopkeeper, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. This tree was cut down and dragged in. It will be slowly used for barbecue in the future... This tree is higher than the wall. Is this leaving a way for thieves?"
Regarding the yard where he lives, Li Xiuyuan has taught Xiao Hei countless times that he cannot leave a door behind the yard and there cannot be trees outside the yard. This is the most basic truth.
In the past, his brother had to worry about this matter. Now that his brother is away, Xiao Hei has no choice but to follow Li Xiuyuan's example and put in some effort to make this place a safe place.
When the two guys heard this, they immediately understood.
Looking at Xiao Hei, he said, "Don't worry, we'll go find someone right away. We can fix it tomorrow at most."
Xiao Hei then breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Find the owner of this shop and tell him that I want to buy this place and not rent it anymore."
After looking around, he found that the terrain here was okay, so Xiao Hei wanted to imitate his brother and bought the shop on his own initiative.
The old shopkeeper nodded and said: "Let's do it this way, we bought this yard."
Naturally, the waiter would not have any objections. After all, a shop was nothing to the Empress of Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Hei thought about buying some coats for Qingqing before it started to snow, and he also had to buy some snacks for himself.
This winter, he has no plans to let the old shopkeeper open for business.
The gold coins they got from selling the Orochi materials last time were enough for them to live in the Imperial City of Northern Qi for more than ten years.
He wanted to learn how to be an older brother and a father to two little ones, while at the same time, he wanted to practice his sword-drawing skills and snow-cutting skills to become more perfect.
After all, fighting against people in Baiyu Temple made him understand that his ability in front of him was still far behind.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei looked at the old shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, please finish the business of this shop with the owner tomorrow. I will take the two little guys to go shopping on the street."
Even if Shuzi is not here, Xiaohei also wants to go shopping.
Unlike Li Xiuyuan, whenever Xiao Hei goes to a new place, the first thing he does is go shopping, or at least buy a bunch of things and pile them back.
Afraid of starvation.
The old shopkeeper is not afraid of Xiao Hei taking the two little guys out to cause trouble. After all, this is the imperial city of Northern Qi, not the Baiyu Temple back then.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Xiao Hei and asked, "Have you thought about what business we are going to do if this grocery store fails to open?"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said, "What's the hurry? When you get settled, shopkeeper, hurry up and buy some coats. I heard that the winter in Northern Qi is colder than in the Imperial City."
The old shopkeeper looked at Xiao Hei and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Now that we have come to Northern Qi, don't mention the imperial city of Zhou again in the future."
Xiao Hei slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my pig brain."
The alley where Xiao Hei is located is called Nanmen Alley. Turning around Nanmen Alley is the most lively Gold and Silver Street in the Imperial City. It is a must-have place for merchants. I don’t know that since that year, this place has been given such a tacky place. name.
After feeding the two little guys, Xiao Hei hugged the two little guys and went out at half past midnight.
It was still early and there were not many people on Jinyin Street.
But Xiao Hei knew that since this was the busiest place in the imperial city, the seemingly ordinary merchants had more money in their pockets than anyone else.
Smelling the strong aroma of meat, Xiao Hei ducked into the noodle shop on the roadside.
