The fleet continued south.
I don't know if it was because of the city massacre, but the rest of their journey went quite smoothly.
Moreover, the surrounding environment is becoming prosperous at an eye-catching speed.
A large number of boats are walking on the river, and the prosperous scene is evident.
There are even some flower boats that blatantly attract customers on both sides of the river. Their bold singing and music make the girls and wives doing laundry by the river blush.
"Jiangnan, this is the best place in Jiangnan!"
Master Gou swung his tail and said cheerfully, with an expectant expression on his face.
Yang Fan couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Is your Bone Lady willing to let you out?"
Master Gou's expression froze.
It has to be said that he is made of flesh and blood.
In the beginning, it was indeed him who conquered Mrs. Bones and made her submissive, just like an angry little daughter-in-law.
But it can't last forever.
Mrs. Bones fought back, which almost killed Mr. Dog.
Damn it, Master Gou didn’t even go to Asuka’s place these days.
There is no other reason for this. It is actually that Mr. Gou has been extremely vain recently. He is trembling when he walks, and he is just reciting the Taoist scripture of being pure and abstaining from desires in his mind!
For a time, Master Gou's family status plummeted.
Even in order to prevent Master Gou from messing around with women, Mrs. Bones even made him a pair of big pants. It is said that there is some kind of mechanism made of bones inside.
It's quite intriguing to use.
"Master Dog, I feel so miserable!"
At this time, facing Yang Fan, Mr. Gou couldn't help but wipe away a handful of bitter tears.
"This woman has changed so fast. She was so gentle and caring before, but now she is clearly an old mother..."
"Master Gou, please don't be sad."
Yang Fan looked at Master Gou who was almost bursting into tears, and suppressed his amusement and said, "After all, there are still many days to come!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Gou wanted to cry even more.
"I thought I would be here for half my life, but I never thought I would be here today!"
Mr. Gou rolled his eyes and lay directly on the wicker chair with a look of despair on his face.
Yang Fan closed his eyes and started practicing.
During this time, he was quite proud.
By virtue of his reputation as a Blood Martial Saint, he collected a huge amount of 2.8 million taels of silver, and he almost didn't loot the coffins of those old eunuchs.
Not only that, he also captured eight Mao Gods along the way south!
They are all obscene priests without orthodox imperial titles, that is, evil gods.
Their power ranges from weak to strong.
The weak ones are probably the same as those who have merged the Tao three times, and at most they can create some nightmares for the people around them, while the strong ones are comparable to ordinary heavenly masters, and can easily control the wind and rain.
However, Yang Fan is not very picky.
One by one, they were stuffed into the Qi and Blood orifices.
At least the question of whether or not should be solved first, and then the question of good or bad should be solved.
It would be best to give them another performance appraisal, and scatter those who fail to achieve it, and use them as nourishment for the Qi and Blood Apertures.
At the same time, he also classified these gods.
There are ordinary people who worship natural gods such as mountains, rivers, water and fire.
There are family ancestral gods formed by people worshiping their ancestors.
There are also gods in some places who received incense after their death. Most of them are in some general temples. These are basically enshrined by the imperial court.
Of course, the most popular ones are the incense from Buddhist and Taoist temples.
It can be said to be at its peak.
However, unlike Taoist incense, which is basically offered to Taoist ancestors, Buddhist incense is first-class no matter how mixed it is.
Various gods, Buddhas and Arhats have almost different requirements for incense.
Yang Fan and others even saw a large temple built along the river on the way. The golden light was so bright and the Buddha's light was so strong that it almost made the night look like day!
There are no fewer than hundreds of large and small Buddha statues enshrined there!
It is a large temple that is famous far and wide!
Moreover, with the temple as the center, there are almost Buddhist fields within a radius of a hundred miles. Ordinary people are tenants of the Buddhist fields. After giving birth to a child, every family even takes pride in sending them to the temple to become a monk.
It almost looks like a country within a country!
That scene made Zhu Yuexian want to bulldoze the temple.
Fortunately, she calmed down in time and ordered her people to continue south, but Yang Fan was already familiar with her temperament and knew that she would not let her go.
Moreover, with Zhu Yuexian's initiative to win over, the relationship between the two has become increasingly harmonious.
Regarding the massacre of the city, Yang Fan also informed the other party that a Taoist temple in the city was intact.
"You mean, maybe someone framed the Wang family?"
Zhu Yuexian asked.
"I am just guessing whether it is the Wang family or not. More conclusive evidence is needed."
Yang Fan shook his head slightly: "I just think that the evidence left by the murderer is a bit too deliberate. Moreover, traces of the Taoist and Wang families are left behind, but it is not as clean as the Buddhist one, which makes me feel more suspicious."
"Buddhism?"
Zhu Yuexian frowned slightly.
Yang Fan proposed a force that she had never thought of.
But this matter has nothing to do with Buddhism, and it seems normal that there are no traces of Buddhism.
"However, the situation in the south is indeed far more complicated than I imagined."
Zhu Yuexian felt a little nervous when she thought about arriving at her destination, Hangzhou Mansion, "However, I believe that the murderer will jump out sooner or later!"
"good."
Yang Fan also nodded.
After all, such sophisticated means of massacre can't be accomplished in a day or two.
Although according to Zhu Yuexian, similar things have never been reported anywhere, but if it is not reported, does it mean there is nothing?
At least as far as she knew, it was not impossible to hide such a thing.
Night falls.
The fleet docked for rest.
Since we will arrive in Hangzhou tomorrow, everyone is in a relaxed mood.
After arranging patrols, some people went to hang out in the towns near the port. These were basically the Zhao family members.
After a tiring journey, they had long wanted to see the prosperity of Jiangnan.
Master Gou wanted to see it, but Madam Bones grabbed him back. His pitiful look made Yang Fan turn his head away from him without hesitation.
Yang Fan took advantage of the night and walked into the town.
Close to the port, this town is far more prosperous than expected, almost comparable to a small town, and there are even merchants from all over the world everywhere.
Therefore, the inns, restaurants, or fireworks venues in the small town can be said to be doing a prosperous business.
The melodious tune can be heard for miles.
Yang Fan walked in the small town, and the lively scene was like a temple fair in his previous life.
After walking around for a while, Chu Lianxin came over.
As expected of the Skin Demon King, he only changed his red dress slightly at this time, and actually gave off a little bit of Xiaojiabiyu feeling.
"How did you come?"
Yang Fan recognized her aura and asked proactively.
Chu Lianxin's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons: "Of course I came to find you. The south is so prosperous, and I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp it."
Yang Fan glanced at Chu Lianxin.
"The Martial Saint can defeat the Demon King. If you come to your door, don't blame me for dealing with you first!"
"Furthermore, my skills in leather refining have been improving recently..."
