how a stallion is made

The wilderness, wild mountains, rustling east wind.

Looking at a solitary lamp from a distance, it is an earthen house with the general layout of a courtyard.

"Boom, boom."

Someone knocked on the white wooden door under the wind and sun, and the host of the yard walked to the door with a machete.

"Who's outside?"

"I'm a small merchant passing by here. Because I was greedy for some distance, it was getting late and I haven't found a place to stay yet."

Hearing the voice sound a little too young, the host murmured in his heart.

"I'm sorry, master, my young master took over the family business recently. After all, he is a little younger, so he just walked past the accommodation. If it is convenient, we will leave after staying for one night. Please be kind, our young master is weak. I can't stand the wind blowing in the cold spring night, please trouble me." It was the voice of another person, who was obviously older.

At this time, the young voice suddenly added: "Master, we will pay for the rest."

After about a few hours, the wooden door creaked open.

"Come in." It was an old woman, dressed in a patched coarse sackcloth, with her eyes half-closed, she looked Tantai up and down and closed her eyes.

As soon as Tantai Shuhe entered the door, he saw a family in the main room having dinner around, and it was almost dark at this time.Looking from a distance, you can see the remaining veins of Qixia Ridge, which is very quiet.

"Thank you." Pei Chao bowed.

This is already the territory of Chuzhou Mansion, I don't know why Tantai Shuhe knocked on more than a dozen households before finding one willing to open the door to take them in.I don't even know what Tantai Shuhe is doing, he just flew to this place from Lin'an, which is hundreds of miles away!

But Pei Chao didn't say much after all, and he couldn't figure it out because the prince's actions were escaping.

There is a plate of fried shepherd's purse on the table, which is green and oily, and it is a new wild vegetable.Tantai Shuhe sighed, and took out a bowl of Drunken Flower Yin meat from the jade pendant in the bundle, originally intending to save it for supper.But looking at this scene, he really might not be able to eat it.

The meat was placed on the table, Tantai Shuohe said to the children: "Eat."

All the children swallowed secretly, and the youngest was about to stretch out his chopsticks, but his elder brother smacked the back of his hand with the chopsticks.The voice was crisp, and there seemed to be a trace of embarrassment on the dark face of the male host.

Tantai Shuhe silently sighed again, his behavior was indeed abrupt.After all, he is still an outsider of this family, so it is unavoidable that he looks like giving alms.

"Pei Chao, do you want to eat?" Tantai Shuhe turned around and asked Pei Chao.

"Don't you eat, sir?" Pei Chao asked back.

"I—have no appetite?" Tantai Shihe smiled, he had already established his foundation, and he basically couldn't feel the feeling of being hungry.

"..." Uncle, don't look at me even if you don't have an appetite.

Tantai Shuhe moved a small bench to the door, and the old lady who had finished her meal early was also sitting on the threshold, her slightly cloudy eyes were filled with the faint light of the oil lamp.

"Grandma, can I ask?"

The old lady gave Tantai a sideways look, and said vaguely, "Nuocan remembers Naxi?"

Tantai Shuhe analyzed carefully for three seconds before he realized that the old lady was saying "what do you want to know?" He continued to ask: "We just came from the east and wanted to spend the night here, but we locked many doors along the way, but No one opened the door. What's the matter?"

"Bull monster!" The old woman replied suddenly, with a distorted taste on her obscure face.

"Uh..." Tantai Shuhe suddenly remembered that there are such things in this world, even cultivating immortals, so what are monsters?

"My lord, are you here from the east?" At some point, the male owner of the family had finished his dinner and stood behind Tantai Shuhe.

Tantai Shuhe thought for a while and said: "Yes."

"What does the young master sell?"

"Uh... Actually, my family controls the salt industry." The emperor, not to mention the salt industry, but iron and grain are all owned by his family.

There was a strange reverence in the male host's eyes, and at the same time, he still didn't believe it: "But you don't have anything on you, sir?"

Tantai Shuhe smiled: "I'm here to inspect the industry, not to transport salt, there are a few guys in charge of salt transport."

"But, son, is this going west?"

"Ah."

"There are still industries in the west?"

"This one……"

Pei Chao suddenly interjected: "There is Baling to the west, and the Duhu Mansion to the west!"

"The young master's family business is also very good!"

Tantai Shuohe breathed a sigh of relief, it was really difficult to make up a lie.

"By the way, master, Grandma just told me that there are monsters here, what's going on?"

As soon as the host slapped his thigh, he yelled out, but this kind of yelling had a lot of depressing feeling: "Hey! Young master, you came out of the heap of rich clothes and jade food. I don't know what life is like for us small people. How miserable—do you know that there is a Ridge of No Return in the west? In my mother’s generation, there was a man-eating monster who lived there! Call, call, what does it seem to be called?"

"...Wei Jing?" Tantai Shihe added weakly.

"Yes! That's what it's called! I heard that the ridge is a place where you can go and never return. Since the ogre came out, you can't even go up the mountain! It is said that there are horse drivers I used to be able to see that devil leading a group of ghosts and monsters holding a cannibal meeting across the mountain!"

Pei Chao looked at Tantai Shuhe expressionlessly, even a non-immortal person like him knew that Wei Jing didn't eat people.

Tantai Shuhe smiled, and didn't try to refute, what kind of Wei Jing is... Ghost, who knows?

"Son, don't tell me! This devil didn't do anything after all, he didn't leave anything behind, the devil knows if such a person really exists." The male master curled his lips, "I was scared by this devil when I was young." of."

"..." Tantai Shuhe still couldn't find the inevitable connection between Wei Jing and the place where he couldn't find a place to stay, he looked up at Pei Chao, Pei Chao just rolled his eyes and didn't speak.

"My lord, didn't you hear the story of this devil when you were a child?" The host looked at Tantai Shuhe in disbelief, "There is a song, what is it called——Bi An Suo, Soul Suppressing Key, Ye Yue Tomorrow, a hundred ghosts are walking, on the way to Huangquan, the King of Hades will detour!"

The expression on Pei Chao's face was very rich.

Tantai Shuhe twitched his eyes and smiled: "Master, I don't know what's going on with this monster. But, can you tell me what it has to do with the fact that the door is not open for guests?"

"It doesn't matter..." The host scratched the back of his head.

"..." Pei Chao stood aside and took a deep breath.

"But, but, when spring begins in our place, a monster appeared!"

Tantai Shuhe raised his eyebrows: "What monster?"

"Lotus Demon!"

"..." It's really a strange monster breed, Tantai Shuohe raised his head and asked, "Pei Chao, whose territory is the Chuzhou Mansion?"

Pei Chao thought about it carefully: "Theoretically, it should be the territory of the Ruan family, but... the situation of the Ruan family is not much different from that of the Huang family."

Tantai Shuhe looked at the male master of this family: "Master, hasn't your government gone to Sanqing to find someone from the Zhang family?"

"My lord, you don't know. The Zhang family of Sanqing, they don't have the mood to pay attention to us small people. Since the devil came out, they have been fighting with ghosts all day long. The monsters in our place are not Ghosts, of course they won't come. I heard from Widow Lin next door that the people sent by the government have been thrown out." The host said angrily.

"Then there is no other home?" Pei Chao asked aloud.

The male host thought for a while: "The Jinling Qin family said they sent someone there, but there has been no movement."

"What about the Chu family in Huainan?" Tantai Shuhe couldn't help asking.

The male host asked blankly: "What kind of fairy teacher is that? Is it powerful?"

"Where's Zhuge from Qingzhou?" Pei Chao added, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I don't know." The male host almost fainted, you must know that he has never been out of the territory of Chuzhou Mansion.

Pei Chao looked at Tantai Mohe, and Tantai Mohe had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly.Chu's swordsmanship does not go out of the mountain, no one can enter the formation of Zhuge's family, nine of the ten children of Qin's family in Jinling are outside in the waves of rivers, lakes and seas, and Ruan's is just an old man... But if the government is sincere Please, it is not impossible to invite these people to make a move.

"Alas—" Tantai Shuhe sighed, the immortal sects are really more unreliable than the other.

"My lord, it's time to rest." Pei Chao looked at the sky and said suddenly.

Tantai Shuhe glanced at him, understood that this man had something to discuss, he yawned immediately, said goodbye to the master's house, and went to the only vacant firewood shed.

The firewood room is usually dust-free, and the ground is full of broken leaves and slag.

Tantai Shuhe closed the door, cast a spell, turned around and asked, "What did you find?"

"The government actually doesn't want to get rid of demons." No one knows better than Pei Chao the twists and turns in these matters. He is also an old official who has been in business for more than ten years. He has never eaten pork and seen pigs run away. ?

"Indeed." Tantai Shuhe looked at Pei Chao seriously, obviously the two wanted to go together.

Since the government is unwilling to get rid of this demon, there must be huge interests tempting them behind.Being able to let them join forces, they are willing to bear the risk of being scolded and even thrown away after being exposed.

"Go to the government tomorrow." Pei Chao said.

"No, I can't go - I can't go." Tantai Shuhe replied immediately.

Pei Chao paused: "Indeed."

"This is for you, please don't lose me." Tantai Shuohe took out the suet white jade pendant hidden on his body, and put a trace of life soul on it to make a life card.

"My lord means—" Pei Chao narrowed his eyes.

"Split up."
