Five days later, Yang Qi appeared on the official road outside Huaiyuan County.
He was holding an oilcloth umbrella in his hand, and the rain was falling like a bead curtain from the sky, and there was a roar of thunder.
"This road is too difficult!"
Standing on a green horse, Yang Qi was wearing a raincoat, letting the rain fall from his head. However, the inferior raincoat could not be compared with the raincoat in his memory. His body was still wet, and there was an invisible chill invading from the rain. If it had been an ordinary person, he would have suffered a serious illness.
"My lord, it should be in this direction, but my subordinate's nose has failed now, but I can't locate the trace of that person?"
There were four other Iron Attendants beside him. The first Iron Attendant had a strange face. His nose was obviously larger than the others, and it was particularly ruddy. At this time, he was sniffing the air with his nose, and there was something in his eyes. have no choice.
His nose has been modified to resemble that of a hunting dog.
It can be regarded as a tracking tool.
The rain covered up many smells on the road, which greatly hindered his olfactory tracking!
Yang Qi was also a little helpless. God was not kind to him. After leaving Xuandu Temple, there seemed to be a dark cloud following him, and it rained non-stop.
Fortunately, this does not affect his tracking skills.
Heavy rain can cover up the traces of mundane smells, but it cannot cover up the taste of the soul.
The green horse under his crotch was stimulated by the rain and snorted. Yang Qi was holding something in his hand, which was a hair.
He followed the traces left by Bai Zhan and entered Huaiyuan County first.
Bai Zhan has a stronghold in Huaiyuan County.
And he also received orders from a certain Tiangang Dao master here, so he peeked into Xuandu Temple and tried to destroy Xuandu Temple.
After Yang Qi forced this point out of his mouth, he entered the stronghold and collected some media information.
The mastermind behind the scenes thought he came and went without a trace, but he didn't know that people leave photos and flying geese leave traces.
As long as there is a little smell, or even a little hair left, he can find him.
This hair was left by one of the followers of the mastermind behind Tiangang Dao.
Although it was not left behind by the mastermind himself, with this thread, there is no fear that he will not be able to correct the other party.
Yang Qi glanced at the four iron servants behind him, and then asked after thinking for a moment:
"What's the boundary ahead?"
The four iron servants thought for a moment, and one of them said.
"My Lord, the front is the boundary of Tianfang Town. I know that there is a Tiandi Temple a few miles ahead. Although the temple is dilapidated, it is still maintained, so it should be able to provide shelter for the Lord!"
Yang Qi nodded.
The group of five people immediately headed towards the Tiandi Temple quickly.
Along the way, Yang Qi saw many refugees. The refugees were struggling on the muddy road. Many of them were seriously ill and struggling to survive.
There are still human remains on the roadside with no one to bury them, which is really pitiful.
The imperial court was at war again some time ago.
Another bandit bandit formed an army in the north and attacked the state capital, destroying several states. The Zhou court activated several powerful vassal kings from the northwest and borrowed hundreds of thousands of their elite troops to put down the rebellion.
At the same time, high-ranking officials will be given generous titles!
Although the Jiangnan states are still relatively stable, there are still some refugees from the North. The refugees have moved southward and poured in, causing a lot of pressure on the Jiangnan states.
Along the way, Yang Qi also saw many refugees relying on some terrain advantages to avoid the thunderstorm in the sky. They were hiding in deep corners. When people passed by, these refugees looked at them with curiosity and greed. , indifferent, but more afraid.
"Trouble is coming!"
Yang Qi saw those secretly peeking eyes.
When the number of proletarians increases, chaos is inevitable.
He who has no permanent property has no perseverance!
After a while, a group of five people saw a dilapidated temple in a mountain col in the distance. Most of the green tiles on it were damaged, and part of the main body collapsed. It looked very decayed in the rain.
Among the many temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Temple of Heaven and Earth can only be regarded as a small temple with not much incense. What is enshrined is not the Lord of Heaven or the King of Heaven and Bodhisattva, but the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother.
Perhaps it is because the status of the two great gods, Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, is too high, so there are fewer people worshiping them.
Of course, the intuitive reason is that the two great gods, Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother, rarely have any good miracles to promote, or their positions are too high, but there is very little incense for worship.
The world has always been realistic.
When Yang Qi and others arrived, they saw that there were no refugees staying at the gate of Tiandi Temple.
Yang Qi's eyes were a little strange, but after thinking about it, he still asked one of his subordinates to knock on the door.
In fact, there was no need to knock on the door, after all, the door was already on the ground.
"May I ask if the temple blessing is in the temple?"
Just when the four iron attendants thought that the Temple of Heaven and Earth was empty, an angry voice came from the still intact right wing.
"Who is shouting outside?!"
He was wearing clothes and holding a hatchet in his hand. When he saw the tall people at the door, his expression suddenly changed and a smile appeared on his face. He also put the hatchet behind his back, bowed his hands and said with a smile.
"Yes, I wonder where these nobles are from. Are they staying in a small temple today?"
At this time, he glanced at Yang Qi who was held in the center by four iron guards, tried his best to smile, stretched out five fingers and said.
"The overnight stay in the small temple is not expensive. Food and accommodation are not included. It only costs five copper coins per person!"
Hearing this, one of the iron servants immediately sneered.
"Isn't five cents expensive? Even the best inn rooms in the city only cost seven or eight cents, and your place is leaky!"
At this time, another iron servant's eyes fell on the black-clothed temple priest who ran out, and suddenly said.
"Brother, I don't think I've seen you before. You shouldn't be the temple blessing here, right?"
Hearing this, Yang Qi's expression changed, and his eyes fell on Miao Zhu, who was dressed in black, with a faint glimmer in his eyes.
Heiyi Temple Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and then said.
"This noble man is talking about the temple blessing for taking office!"
"Several nobles, the Miao Zhu who took office died of cold not long ago! I happened to be on duty near Tianfang Town, so I was sent here!"
There was some complaint in his eyes.
"It was my fate that caused Tai Sui to encounter this ruined temple, otherwise I wouldn't want to stay in this ruined place! This world is so evil!"
At this time, he focused his gaze on a few people, especially the swords they wore, and paused for a moment before laughing.
"My nobles, if it doesn't work, I will give you another penny discount, but no more. Any more will break the rules here. If the patriarch of the town knows about it, I will also suffer! Just a few of them You should do your best and let the villains go!"
There was something pleading in his eyes.
Yang Qi said immediately.
"In that case, let's stay!"
Hearing this, the black-clothed temple priest suddenly beamed with joy. At this time, he combed his disheveled hair and saw a small tumor next to his temple hair. Although it was not big, it was conspicuous.
Yang Qi was not surprised when he saw this. Most of these wild temple blessings are performed by some local people who have many shortcomings and three shortcomings.
According to folklore, it is an old custom because only their destiny can withstand all the disadvantages caused by communicating with immortals and gods.
The group stepped into the main hall of Tiandi Temple and saw two magnificent statues standing under the gray-red curtain of the shrine from a distance. The statues were majestic and majestic.
Only part of the dome above was cracked, causing rain to leak into the temple.
There was actually a side hall around the main hall, and other gods were worshiped in the side hall, but it had collapsed at this time.
In addition, there should be traces of accessories such as the Bell and Drum Tower, Sun and Moon Tower, etc., all of which have become ruins.
Fortunately, the main hall is quite spacious. At this time, the middle-aged Miao Zhu, who was wearing a black wedding dress, took out some hay from the right side room and sent it to the dilapidated left side room, and made several simple hay bunks.
Then he said.
"Several nobles, there is not enough firewood in the temple to cook for our distinguished guests. I hope you will forgive me!"
He made a slight confession.
"It doesn't matter, just go and do your work!"
Yang Qi understands that there are so many refugees and the dead grass on the ground has been picked up, not to mention the firewood that can be burned.
"Thank you for your understanding. However, I still have some wild vegetable cooking cakes in the pot. If you don't mind, you can eat them to satisfy your hunger!"
Hearing this, Yang Qi directly rejected this enthusiastic temple blessing.
There was no fire in the main hall, but Yang Qi and the four iron servants didn't care. Yang Qi's extraordinary body was no longer afraid of a little bit of dampness and cold. The four iron servants were also strong in physique and had strong fire energy, so they were not afraid of the cold at all.
The five of them took out the dry food they had prepared in their arms.
The four iron waiters couldn't bear to be hungry, so they prepared only the best dried meat and rice cakes.
Yang Qi was already an extraordinary person at this time. He only ate some dry food and took out a jade talisman.
This jade talisman is the jade talisman presented by Taoist Cangji. This jade talisman has also been the focus of his research during this period.
This jade talisman contains a special spell deep inside.
Yang Qi could tell that it should be a metallic spell.
The power of this spell is quite powerful, but what Yang Qi values is not the power of this unknown spell, but the principle of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. If he can figure out how to adjust the lever of the resonance witch array, power, or some inspiration.
At this moment, the iron servant with a sensitive nose hesitated slightly, and then said after a moment.
"My lord, I smell a strange smell. I can't describe it!"
It was sudden.
Yang Qi's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at him.
"What does it smell like?"
When Yang Qi entered the temple, although he could see that the black-clad temple priest seemed to be lying, he didn't see anything else.
"fragrance!"
"fragrance?"
Yang Qi was slightly surprised. The iron waiter's nose moved, his eyes were slightly thoughtful, and there was a trace of strangeness, as if he was eager and hungry.
"I have never smelled this smell before, but it smells better than ever before!!"
"I feel so hungry!"
