The sound of cow hooves is crisp and clear, and the wind and dust are passing through.
Head north.
Time flies, two days and nights in a blink of an eye.
Xiaoqingshan is already in the south, a hundred miles away.
On the road ahead.
A big mountain, as deep as black grass, is getting closer and closer.
The sky was originally clear and bright.
Gradually it was covered by overlapping clouds, and the golden sunlight was also blocked behind the thick clouds.
Gradually, the road ahead was sandwiched between two mountains and ended with a gorge.
The road begins to become narrow.
At the turning point, Xu Qingfeng suddenly heard a burst of lively voices.
I saw a group of figures beside the road.
They were all wearing red silk, beating gongs and drums, and there was a lot of joy and excitement.
There were actually some travelers on the road.
A slender middle-aged scribe wearing a long black coat held a folding fan and held it in front of the guests.
"Dear friends traveling from north to south, listen to me. I am the housekeeper of Huaijiazhuang Gu Yuanwai."
"Gu Yuan's family has ten miles of fertile land and numerous cattle, sheep and poultry. He is the leading gentry in Huaijiazhuang."
"The man in Gu Yuanwai's family died young, leaving only Mrs. Gu to live with her three beautiful granddaughters."
Today, Gu Yuan's family throws embroidered balls to recruit sons-in-law. At the same time, they also entertain guests from all over the world to open up opportunities to recruit sons-in-law. "
"If you can get married to your wife, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth for the rest of your life."
"If you are interested, you may wish to come and give it a try."
Many of the business travelers passing by suddenly became interested and shouted to join in the fun.
Even if the recruitment of a son-in-law fails.
There are also free drinks and food available, which is very attractive to people who travel all year round.
Pedestrians gradually gathered on the roadside, and someone asked loudly: "Where is your Huaijiazhuang?"
The middle-aged housekeeper smiled slightly and pointed behind him:
"Not far, not far, right there."
Follow the direction pointed by the steward.
Among the lush forest leaves, there is actually a faint village, and smoke is rising.
A group of business travelers, led by their servants, happily headed in the direction of Huaijiazhuang.
Xu Qingfeng and his party saw from a distance that such a lively and strange scene appeared in a situation with no one in front or behind.
He murmured:
"So these weird things are playing a double act. Do they think we really can't see anything weird?"
The little fox shook his head and explained:
"The power of ghosts and monsters can invade reality."
“Innate ability to influence what people see and hear.”
"So people will subconsciously ignore the wrong details and follow the plot spun by ghosts and go on in ignorance."
"However, this subconscious spiritual influence has little impact on monks who refine their energy and spirit."
Xu Qingfeng smiled:
"In this case."
"You guys have to pretend to be more realistic for a while and don't reveal your secrets."
The squirrel shook its big furry tail and made a no-questions-asked gesture: "Don't worry, we are masters at pretending to be confused."
"Otherwise, how can we hang out in Qiyun Mountain where blood demons are everywhere."
The turtle opened its big confused eyes and said slowly:
"ah?"
It is really confused and there is no need to pretend.
The steps of the big green cow were neither fast nor slow, making a clicking sound.
Gradually, we approached the procession of recruiting a son-in-law with noisy gongs and drums.
The butler walked forward cheerfully and said the lines he just said again very smoothly.
Xu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and shook his Taoist robe:
"Can a Taoist monk also recruit a son-in-law?"
The butler cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"As long as the young lady likes it and the husband-in-law is willing, it is fine even if he is a monk, not to mention a Taoist priest."
Xu Qingfeng smiled calmly, patted the big green cow gently, and turned towards the village deep in the forest.
"If that's the case, then I'll bother you a little bit."
The butler immediately beamed with joy, waved his hand quickly and said:
"Wherever, Xiao Li, take this Taoist priest to Zhuangzi."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin young man floated out from the crowd of people beating gongs and drums.
With his pale face and thick dark circles under his eyes, he looked like a night owl who hadn't slept in several days.
Although he knew that the other party was sneaky, Xu Qingfeng still clicked his tongue twice and said jokingly:
"Little brother, how many days have you not slept?"
"I'm afraid you might die suddenly on the road."
Xiao Li smiled:
"Taoist priest, you are joking, I am born with this."
He took the reins under the big green bull's neck and was about to step towards the forest.
suddenly.
An energetic voice sounded from behind Xu Qingfeng:
"Wait a minute!"
"We're going too."
Xu Qingfeng followed the sound and looked back curiously.
A man with a strong body, wearing black clothes and a sheathed sword on his waist, strode towards Xu Qingfeng.
Next to him, there was a scholar wearing a white gown and a scarf.
He has a white face and no beard, and is very handsome.
There was a wooden bookcase on his back, like a scholar going to Beijing to take the exam.
The man in black walked to Xu Qingfeng's side in a few steps and said calmly: "Taoist priest, let's go together."
"It's good to have someone to take care of you along the way."
The scholar in white also ran over slightly out of breath and said:
"Xiao Ding, wait for me."
A strange look flashed across the middle-aged butler's brows, and he said cheerfully:
"Okay, let Xiao Li send a few of them to the village together."
Xu Qingfeng nodded slightly and winked at the little foxes calmly.
The man in black is unusual.
Curb the evil spirit and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Under the leadership of Xiao Li, a group of people walked through layers of jungle and came to a hillside.
The vision suddenly opens up.
The scene of Huaijiazhuang became clearer, located in the col at the foot of the hillside.
Everyone did not stop and continued down the hillside.
Along the way.
Xu Qingfeng chatted casually with the man in black and the scholar in white, getting to know each other initially.
The man in black is named Ding Qing.
The scholar in white is called Ning Zhong.
Both of them are candidates going to Beijing to take the exam.
However, one passed the martial arts test and the other passed the literary test.
certainly.
This is just their apparent identity. In Xu Qingfeng's perception, these two people are powerful and full of energy.
He must be a monk who came to kill the demon.
Presumably the previous letters sent by Fang Wende and Meng Huaiyuan had an effect, and Liucheng finally responded.
However, Xu Qingfeng had no intention of showing off his cards to the two of them.
They kill the demon, and Xu Qingfeng looks for the person.
Everyone can show their talents and get what they need.
While talking.
A small village has appeared in front of you.
The village looked lively.
From the entrance of the village, lanterns and streamers were decorated, and red silk trees were hung all the way along the village path to the square in the center of the village.
Wherever Xu Qingfeng and others passed, there were scenes of bustling and crowded people.
Judging from the attire.
There are foreigners and locals.
Everyone was making a lot of noise, and they all hugged Xu Qingfeng and the others, as if they were afraid that they would run away.
A swarm of swarms rushed towards the center of the village.
Passing through a tall Qi red archway, a vermilion embroidered pavilion stands in the center of the square.
Next to the embroidery building is a wooden high platform.
The square under the high platform was filled with wooden tables and chairs covered with red silk, and the tables and chairs were filled with guests.
Xu Qingfeng said to himself in surprise:
"Good guy, this is really a complete show."
