Chapter 406 The carriage
"This..." After hearing the gatekeepers and soldiers said, the old man and the young man couldn't help but feel strange. They had never met before, and today they were the first time to meet. If they just asked them to come over and sit for a while, they could still be said to be hospitality. If they were invited to stay, they were so respectful... strange, so weird!
As if he saw the suspicion of the old man and the young man, the gatekeeper smiled embarrassedly and said, "You don't have to be too careful. In fact, I'm asking you two to stay in the house. In addition to being difficult to find inns in the city, I want to help you, but more of it is selfish. I just saw the martial arts of this little brother, and he didn't even see clearly. He flew from the horse to the other side. I think it would be extraordinary to reach out. I just told you that there is a monster in the city now... Hehe, I have an old mother in the next family, and I'm afraid she will be in danger when she comes in, so I'll go home to live. But I know that my martial arts is just right. Even if I encounter monsters, I'm afraid that they will not be the opponent. I can be skinned and eaten by the other party in just a few strokes. So..."
"So I want to invite us to come over and protect you two?" The young man suddenly realized and turned to the old man: "Dad, as this elder brother said, the inns in the city are now full, so it is difficult to find an empty room. Why don't we go over and take a look?"
The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well! Meeting is a fate. Since the young man is so polite, it would be impolite if he refuses again. Oh yes, I still don't know that the young man's surname is honored? Lingtang is born this year?"
"Go back to my father-in-law, the young man's surname is Yin Xiaotian. I'll teach me Xiaotian." The gatekeeper said, calling the old man and the young man into the city while closing the city gate. Of course, he was not alone in guarding the gate, but his companions had already left before, and he was only left now.
After entering the city, looking at the empty streets in the city without pedestrians, the boy couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Brother Xiaotian, why do you say that there are monsters in this city? When will it be? I see that there are no one on the street. Is it because of monsters? Or do you dare to go out all day long?"
"The little brother has observed it very carefully, and his association ability is really rich. Yes, our Qingshan County only makes monsters at night - it cannot be said to be monsters, or maybe evil ghosts. In short, every two days to night, the city will think of ghosts and howls, first in the east of the city, and gradually move to the west of the city. As long as you hear that sound at night, one person will inevitably die in the city..." Yin Xiaotian closed the city gate and said, while leading the old man and the young man to their house.
At the same time, a carriage gradually approached at another city gate.
The carriage is not big, it looks ordinary and not luxurious. The person who is driving the car is a young Taoist priest who looks in his twenties. While urging the horse to go quickly, he turned around and rushed into the carriage and said, "Master, Qingshan County is in front of him. 'He' is really here? Let's not meet 'him'?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice came out from the carriage: "Don't see you, there is nothing left and right. In short, the hexagram shows that he is here. As for whether he is really here or not, he will have to wait until he enters the city to inquire."
While talking, the carriage was approaching the city gate. This city gate was the East City Gate, and the old man and the young father and son entered the West City Gate. Although the closing time of the two city gates was the same, there was no table in ancient times, and the time could not be accurate to minutes and seconds, and the closing time was slightly different. The Xicheng Gate guarded by Yin Xiaotian had been closed, but the East City Gate was just about to be closed.
The young Taoist priest rushed to the car and was immediately stopped by the gatekeepers just like the old man and the young man. By chance, the officer and soldier were the one who inspected Zhang Xuanqing the day before yesterday, and the one who inspected Luo Siyuan did not come.
This person's name is Zhao Defang. He has a bad temper on weekdays, especially in recent days, people in the city are making monsters, and people are panicking, and he is even more unhappy. When he checked Zhang Xuanqing last time, he didn't lose his temper, so he gave the officer and soldier who checked Luo Siyuan a few face. Today, he was unlucky today and lost money in gambling. Seeing that only one day later, another person stepped on the spot, and immediately got angry. He stopped the young Taoist priest and cursed and said, "What's the matter? It's not dark, and I have to wait for the city gate to be closed. Hey! Is this spot here for reincarnation?"
The young Taoist priest couldn't help but frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was well-educated and bowed with a smile, "This official invited me, I'm here to see you. I wonder what's wrong with the official stopping me?"
Zhao Defang continued to curse and said, "What's the matter? Routine! Do you know when you go to the city to check? Gangbangbang, hurry up and let me see if there is any criminal hiding in the car!"
The young Taoist priest frowned even deeper, but when he went to the city to investigate, there were common things at this time. At that moment, he suppressed his anger and turned around and asked for instructions: "Master..."
However, after he had just said two words, Zhao Defang could no longer wait. He reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest and wanted to pull him down.
What a young Taoist priest, he let out a soft hum from his nostrils, but he didn't see how he was doing. Zhao Defang uched and covered his hands and cried bitterly.
At this time, there were still two people guarding the city gate with him who had not left. They were fat and thin. Seeing this, they hurriedly surrounded him and asked in panic: "Brother Defang, what's wrong with you?"
"It hurts, it hurts..." Zhao Defang couldn't say anything, but he only knew that he was covering his hands and shouting pain.
The other two guards pried his hands apart, but saw that his hands were clean and intact. Why did he still scream?
The thin guard soldier turned around and shouted at the young Taoist priest, "Well, what's wrong with my brother?"
The young Taoist priest was about to speak when his master's voice sounded in the carriage: "What's wrong? Qingfeng, what happened?"
Before he finished speaking, the curtain of the car was lifted from it by a white and slender hand, revealing a gorgeous face.
This man is about thirties, with delicate facial features, red lips and phoenix eyes, fair skin, and looks like he is in his twenties. He is wearing a light blue Taoist robe, a feather crown on his head, and a folding fan with his hand. He doesn't look like a Taoist priest, but rather a scholar. His face, if he was born on a woman, he would be afraid that he could support a brothel. Unfortunately, he is a man, and a Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest called Qingfeng hurriedly jumped off the shaft and turned around and saluted: "Master, why are you out?"
The Taoist priest from the blue robe smiled and said, "Why did you think you are out? You are so big and so reckless. If I don't come out again, I don't know what trouble you are going to cause me!"
It's strange that this blue-robed Taoist priest looks only in his thirties at most, but when it comes to Taoist Qingfeng who is in his twenties and his age, it seems to be talking about his son.
