Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Because he had a family and nothing important to do, Shi Qian did not rush him. He stopped and stopped along the way, only covering thirty or fifty miles a day.

This Xu Sheng was only six years old. He was in high spirits in the past two days. He would get out of the carriage from time to time and sit in Xu Ning's arms, letting Xu Ning carry him on the way. Unexpectedly, he caught wind and cold on the third day. Although it was not serious, Shi Qian did not dare to be careless. He traveled a long way and found an inn to rest in Wuqiu Town. He asked the doctor in the town to prescribe medicine.

In the past two days, Shi Qian and Xu Ning got along well.

Xu Ning made up his mind to go to Liangshan Prefecture to strive for success, so he naturally paid a lot of attention to Liangshan Prefecture and Zhao Zhen.

That evening, Xu Ning was carrying the cold medicine that had been boiled in the medicine shop. As soon as he came out of the medicine shop, he saw two Taoist priests and several Taoist boys walking in front.

Xu Ning didn't care. When he saw that the group of people had also chosen to stay at the largest inn in the town, he became interested.

After all, how can any monk not go to a monastery to rest, but go to an inn to make a fire and settle down? Seeing that they were staying in the same inn, I listened carefully to the words of the Taoist priest and the innkeeper.

However, their accents were from Shandong. After a few people settled in, Xu Ning went to the counter to chat.

The shopkeeper naturally knew these two generous customers, so when Xu Ning pretended to ask which temple in Wuqiu Town had efficacious and virtuous monks, and asked for an amulet for the child to wear, the shopkeeper opened his mouth and pointed to the place. .

Then he said: "It's a coincidence that a group of Taoist priests are also working in the store today, but it's strange that these birdmen are not serious monks, so they don't leave a Taoist number, but use lay names."

Xu Ning said: "Looking at the attire, I'm afraid they are scammers. I don't know what these people are called. If you meet them in the future, you must not let them deceive you."

"Let me see, hey, one is named Dong Kai and the other is Yu Zhiwang."

Xu Ning was shocked when he heard this. He kept it in mind but kept silent. After chatting for a while, he said: "Shopkeeper, I'm going to see how my son is doing after taking the medicine."

With that said, Xu Ning got up and went to the guest room at the back.

Xu Ning did not go to her room and opened Shi Qian's door.

Shi Qian poured a cup of tea and asked, "Brother, how is my nephew feeling well from the cold?"

"It's almost done. We can hit the road tomorrow. I went to pick up medicine today and met two embarrassing people downstairs."

Shi Qian asked: "Who is it?"

"It was two Taoist priests leading four Taoist boys. These two Taoist priests did not go to the temple to stay, but came to this inn. I asked the shopkeeper, and the names of these two people were Dong Kai and Yu Zhiwang."

Shi Qian heard this and lowered his voice: "Brother suspects that these two are Qingzhou thieves, [Suzaku God] and [Xuanwu God]?"

Xu Ning nodded: "I'm afraid it's these two. Brother, didn't you say that nursery rhymes have been leaked out in Bianjing City recently? I wonder if it was these two who spread it?"

Shi Qian said: "If there is only one person with the same name and surname, it is reasonable to say that both of them are the same. I am afraid they are the Qingzhou bandit leaders. It is not easy to do anything in the city. If these people are really the Qingzhou leaders, not only can they be captured, Being able to figure out the origin of nursery rhymes is also a great achievement, what does the teacher think?”

"That's what I mean. Let's leave early tomorrow. How about we find a secluded place ahead to intercept these people?"

Shi Qian said: "Teacher, nothing else matters, except that these two have Taoism. When it comes to practice, I'm afraid we are no match."

"Brother, do you know what the two of them are doing?"

"Teacher, can you see the gourds on their backs? I heard that the official and Mr. Gongsun said that these two people learned the method of [Huanglong Taoist] Wu Jiao. The gourd contained a black wind and chanted the incantation. , when sacrificed, it can blow up sand and stones, and the black smoke is the most blinding. It is mixed with paper figures, paper horses, and yellow and black beans. Besides, these two also have some martial arts skills, which are nothing compared to Taoism."

After hearing this, Xu Ning asked: "Is there a way to break the two-person method?"

"I heard Mr. Gongsun say that the Taoist teachings such as praying to gods are most afraid of contamination. The blood of pigs, sheep, dogs, feces, menstrual blood, etc. can destroy the Taoist teachings. If you eat pure meat and garlic beforehand, it will also destroy the Taoist teachings. Make it impossible to drive.”

After hearing this, Xu Ning said: "In that case, why not try to make him eat meat? If you can break his Taoism, it will be easy to capture these two leaders."

At the moment, the two were discussing how to make the two of them eat wine and meat, but for a long time they didn't have any good ideas.

The two had no choice but to go to the lobby to look for opportunities. Unexpectedly, these two Taoists were true Taoists, but the Taoist boys were not true Taoists. These two were handsome, but they were all old thieves.

When I was in Tokyo, I could still refrain from eating meat, but after leaving Bianjing, I couldn't hold it back for a long time. Not only did he order wine and meat, he even ordered onions, leeks and garlic, which are smelly and impure condiments that make Taoism forbidden. He ordered a table full and went to the private room upstairs.

This is not the case only in Wuqiu Town. These people dressed as Taoist boys are all smart. In order to curry favor with these two leaders, they treated them to a feast of wine and meat on the way back.

Xu Ning and Shi Qian met and smiled at each other.

The two of them also ordered food and drinks. While the waiter was serving the food, Shi Qian put a dozen big coins on the table and asked: "Second brother, do these Taoists know about that Taoist temple? It doesn't look like it." A monk?"

The waiter said: "Who knows? The shopkeeper also said that these few don't seem to be monks. They asked me to wait until they are good enough to make sure they don't make any mistakes. Just now I went upstairs to add water, and the two Taoist priests and Taoist boys each My mouth is full of food, but these people will only stay for one day and will leave tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Shi Qian said: "The road is not peaceful now. Please ask the second brother to get up early tomorrow and prepare food. We will leave before them to avoid any trouble."

The second brother picked up the money on the table and asked: "When do you plan to eat? I will prepare it in advance."

"We will eat at four o'clock. I will trouble the second brother to take care of and feed the horses."

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

The next day, Xu Ning, Shi Qian and his party got up early, had breakfast, harnessed the horses, and set off.

The two walked more than 20 miles and found a large forest. They hid the carriage in it and ambushed it.

After waiting for more than an hour, they finally saw the six people who were late.

Xu Ning and Shi Qian were standing on the road, each holding a hook-sickle spear and a broadsword. Dong Kai and Yu Zhiwang saw them and shouted, "Where did you come from, you ignorant thieves, to dare to provoke me? Get out of here, or I will chop you into pieces."

Xu Ning laughed and said, "How ridiculous! You two damn thieves, you are not hiding in Qingzhou, but are here to cheat. Today I am going to capture you two and bring you to Liangshan to show my merit."

Dong Kai and Yu Zhiwang were shocked when they heard this. They thought they were exposed, so they took weapons from the Taoist boy.
