[Lotus Lantern] Free Sky

"Let's stop arguing about this here, the important thing is to get the horse back as soon as possible. Maybe the master master will come back soon."

"Well, Chen Xiang, you stay here and wait for Big Brother Yang and Second Brother Yang to come back. Boy Baihe and I will go chase the horse."

"No need." Suddenly, Hou Yi and Yang Jian appeared in front of the road.Hou Yi whistled softly, and the horses came back from all directions in a short while.With a wave of Hou Yi's hand, the carriage returned to its original state.

The group boarded the car again, this time, the two boys and Liu Chenxiang were driven into the car by Hou Yi to accompany Yang Jian, and Hou Yi sat alone in front of the curtain and drove.Of course, it is much more stable than those three children.The left and right are just for fun, but it's not too fast.Along the way, talking and laughing, but also harmonious.However, I don't know if the gods need to read the almanac when they go out. The carriage has not been walking on the forest road for a long time, and suddenly a few robbery paths popped out in the deep forest and dense leaves.You said, the sky is bright and the sun is bright, the sky is bright and the sky is bright, and there are people who don't have a brain.Seeing a few masked men rushing down from the forests on both sides with dozens of young men shouting and killing, the aura really has the meaning of a bandit.Relying on the magnanimity of ordinary people, Hou Yi persuaded: "It's not dark yet, and it's too early to cut the path. Get away, don't stand in the way of the master here, hurry home and hug your daughter-in-law!" "

The elder brother who took the lead took a step forward, stuck his neck, and said viciously: "Even if I agree, my knife still doesn't agree. Even if my grandfather is kind, I will let you go under the knife, just ask." Thumb pointed back at the gang of young men, "Will the brother behind me agree?" The group of bandits received a tip that the wife and children of the local magistrate were going to pass by, and these bandits were about to go down the mountain. Robb them to coerce the official not to act rashly.As a result, by mistake, Yang Jian and his party did not catch up sooner rather than by time.

"No promise!"

"No!" Qiqi yelled.

"Did you hear that? It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's that you were so lucky today that you ran into Grandpa's hand."

"Okay, I don't know how this bandit wants to rob?" Hou Yi smiled playfully.

"It's very simple. I have a kind heart. As long as you hand over all the valuables on your body, as well as the family members in the carriage, and this carriage, I will spare your life. How about it?" ?” They thought that Hou Yi was just a coachman driving a chariot, and had nothing to do with the people in the chariot.

"Forgive me?" Hou Yi felt that this was the funniest thing he had ever encountered in his life. He folded his arms and sat firmly in the car, "I haven't spared you yet!"

"Little boy, I don't want your blood to stain this beautiful carriage, so I can talk about it. Come down if you have the guts, I will definitely beat you to your knees and beg for mercy!"

"It's up to you." It sounds strange that a god was robbed by a mortal.Hou Yi glanced at the bandit disdainfully, and said slowly.The two bright lights in his eyes made the bandit leader feel terrified, the bandit leader couldn't help but startled for a moment, and then said: "Since you don't know good and bad, boys, give it to me!"

Seeing that dozens of young people rushed up together, Houyi was about to make a move, Baihe boy said: "Master Houyi, let me do this kind of trivial matter." Saying that, he flew out with a jade flute, The figure was as fast as lightning, and within a few breaths, dozens of bandits staggered and lay on the ground. ——It turned out that the Sleeping Point was tapped by Boy Baihe.The white crane boy flies and stands on the horse,

"Brother in charge, how should these bandits be dealt with?"

"Brother, what do you think?"

"It's inconvenient for us to intervene too much in mortal affairs, so let the local officials know."

A vine appeared in Boy Baihe's hand, and in the blink of an eye, he tied all the bandits to the trees on both sides of the road.

"He Yi."

"Here we come." There was a cry in the air, and when he appeared in everyone's sight, he was already a boy about the same age as Bai He Boy.

"Go and report to the magistrates that there are bandits here. Be sure to let them arrive here before dark. Be quick, lest the officers and soldiers come, and they will die of hunger and thirst, or be eaten by wild animals."

"Okay." Said, and flew away.

"Where is the mountain god here?"

"Here we come." As he spoke, an old man emerged from the ground.

"Please, Your Excellency the Mountain God, take care of the safety of these bandits before the arrival of the officers and soldiers. lest they be eaten by wild beasts."

"Yes. I would like to trouble you, boy Baihe, to greet Master Zhangjiao on behalf of Xiaoxian." The old man said respectfully.

"Teacher is well, you can rest assured. I don't know, is this area still peaceful?"

"In the beginning, there were occasional little demons coming to attack, but for more than a month, they never appeared."

"Very well, back off."

"Congratulations to all of you."

The mountain god bowed cautiously, retreated to the side of the road, and stepped out of the way.After the carriage passed by, he looked at the sleeping thieves, stroked his gray beards and said with a smile, "The thieves are getting better and better now. Don't even look at who the thieves are? This is how you can It's robbery? Overestimate your own strength." After finishing speaking, he turned around in a circle before sinking into the ground again.

Yang Jian and his group continued on their way, but when they were about to leave the forest, smoke suddenly rose from the forest.Although it was raining just after the forest was set on fire, it was unlikely to burn, but judging by the thick smoke, it seemed that the burned thing was huge.It has just rained, and the forest is wet. What can burn it?

"It's so thick smoke!" Nezha raised the window screen and stuck his head out of the window, "Could it be that Orion's house in the forest is on fire?"

"Just after it rained, I just wanted to burn it. How could it be so easy?" Liu Chenxiang continued.

"Woo--" Outside, the carriage stopped, and Hou Yi's voice sounded, as if he was talking to someone, "Dare to ask me, what's going on here?"

"Didn't you see? Burn the books."

"Why?"

"You will know when you enter the city. By the way, if you have books, you can take them out and burn them. Before burning them, go to the yamen in the city to report the number, and you can also receive reward money."

"Is there such a good thing?" Hou Yi asked with great interest, "Can any book be used?"

"That's not true. There's only one kind of book that gets money."

"Appreciate further details."

"Three months ago, we had a new grand lord here. Youdao is the new official's three fires. The first thing is to deal with the accumulated cases of the past few days. The second thing is to investigate openly and secretly. , understand the sufferings of the people."

"So, this new official is a good one?"

"Good official is right. But the third thing is to offer a reward. Not long ago, the Elder Master said that he wanted to refute the rumors."

"Does it have something to do with these books?"

"This son is really smart. If you want to talk about this, Erlang shouldered the mountain, chased the sun, and cut the mountain to save his mother. That is a story that the little old man has heard from his mother's womb. It has been so many years since his ancestors. Liu Chenxiang imitated his uncle and said that he was like a nephew. Uncle, it’s nothing, the big deal is that there is an extra story to listen to. But, this old man thinks, why Liu Chenxiang split the mountain to save his mother must black Erlang God? Then the old man also grew up listening to the legend of Erlang God, God Erlang is affectionate and righteous, hates evil like hatred, and has always been extremely effective. Now, Chen Xiang suddenly appeared to save his mother, even if it was to highlight Liu Chenxiang's charming personality, he should not sacrifice the reputation of other gods against his conscience. Deliberately writing Erlang Shen badly. Therefore, the elder has ordered that "Aloes saves his mother" and "The Holy Mother of Huashan" are all nonsense. I have never heard that Erlang God Yang Jian has a younger sister. Since there is no younger sister, then the whole The story absolutely does not exist, so people here are prohibited from talking about or buying and selling these banned books. Anyone who voluntarily turns in the banned books will be rewarded with five coins, and the more you pay, the more rewards, the more the better."

"Is this old man quite rich?" Hou Yi asked casually.However, the best-selling book in the previous town is directly banned here. It really is a style of each place.There are so many books in this city, I am afraid that this old man will go bankrupt sooner or later.Just because of this untrue legend, it is a bit baffling to make yourself clean.However, Hou Yi really admired this old man from the bottom of his heart.With blood and character——

"That's not true. Let me tell you," he said, lowering his voice, "I also heard that the grandpa was blessed by the god of justice, Erlang God. I heard that the Qin family offended the sky somehow, and wanted to send down thunder and fire to burn the village. It was Zhenjun Erlang who entrusted a dream to the people in the village to tell the news. The brigade commander took everyone to move to the village early the next morning, so the clan was not wiped out. Therefore, the Elder Master can't see this sudden extra story of humiliating Erlang God."

"Old man, you know this old man quite well."

"Of course, because when I was young, I was the book boy of the old man's house. He was five years younger than me. I grew up with the old man, and we still have a little friendship. Later, because of old age, the old man came back Arrived at my hometown. Our village is not far from here, so I would also visit the Grand Master in my spare time. The Grand Master asked the emperor to resign because he was getting old, and begged the emperor to send him back to his hometown as a petty official for the elderly. Therefore, this new elder is not only a new official, but also a native of this place."

"Don't tell me, I have the book "Chen Xiang Saves My Mother" in my car."

"Then you have to hurry up and burn it quickly. If my adults find out, they might beat you up."

"Heh, beat the board instead of burning the books?" Hou Yi asked in a raised tone on purpose.

"My lord was a military general before, commanding thousands of troops, and he had a hot temper. What he admired the most in his life was Erlang Zhenjun, a real man who can secure the world, can set the three worlds with martial arts, and has benevolence and righteousness. How dare you say that Erlang is not good , he can slap you with a big mouth!"

"Hehe," Hou Yi raised his back slightly, "Second brother, did you hear that? Zhenjun Erlang's followers are bulls. This time, it's not because of my brother that I won't let you see it."

"Ah, by the way, my lord said that outsiders are not allowed to bring banned books into the city."

"Second brother, what should we do? They are all banned books." Hou Yi teased with some amusement.
