The sun sinks into the western mountains, and there are insects all around.
There are no regular wheat fields on both sides of the trail, and there are weeds and thorns all over. In summer, all kinds of weeds grow wildly, and they are more than half the height of a person.
The ox cart crunched along, startling the fox, snake and pika hiding in the wild. There was a rustling noise in the dark grass, and every now and then a black shadow jumped out in a panic. The killer of Piaoping Pavilion sat cross-legged on the carriage, listening vigilantly to the surrounding movement.
It was so hot that there was no room for people to breathe until the sun went down, but the breath was still irritating and dry.
Not only people felt uncomfortable, but even the cows became angry.
"Moo-"
The old cow in the trailer plunged into the weeds by the roadside and chewed it casually.
Today's journey is too long, I haven't been given water or food, and the cows are not good at talking.
With this slap in the hoof, the ox cart full of dry wood was forcibly brought into the ditch, and it jolted violently twice.
The sleepy farm boy fell directly into the grass.
The killer of Piaoping Pavilion was furious from his heart, whipped the whip to the back of the cow, and shouted that he wanted it to continue walking.
As the saying goes, the ox's temper, the ox's temper is very fatal. Stubborn and not looking back, neither of them could hold back.
At this moment, the cow was in a rage, spewing hot air from his nose, turning his head and dragging the car deeper into the field.
The wildly growing weeds brushed against the man's arm, and the sharp serrations on the edges of the blades cut through the skin. The Piaoping Pavilion killer shrank his arms in pain, jumped up quickly, and retreated to the trail.
Looking at the crazy back of the old cow and the scratches on his hands, this Piaopingge killer disguised as a driver could not wait to slap the angry cow.
- can only think, can not do.
The ox cart disappeared overnight outside the village. It can be said that the young man driving the cart was having fun, or that the ox went the wrong way and could not be pulled back.
If the cow dies, it's a big deal.
The common people are not allowed to slaughter the cattle without permission. All cattle are recorded in the official government. When the cattle die, they will go to the yamen to report, and special officials will come to verify the cause of death. Regardless of death from illness, old age, fall, or accidental serious injury, there are no exceptions. If a cow dies in the wild for no apparent reason, the government must catch the killer.
Sometimes the death of a person is a big deal without the death of a cow.
Jianghu people do not take the government seriously, but as a killer who hides his whereabouts, how can he act recklessly
Meng Qi in the distance looked at the Piaoping Pavilion killer who didn't dare to shout loudly, and found it very interesting.
Seeing people unlucky is also a kind of fun.
If it weren't for the guys from Piaoping Pavilion, he wouldn't have separated from the doctor, and he didn't know if Mo Li and the old monk had caught up with the swordsman now.
Thinking of this, Meng Qi groaned slightly.
Although the swordsman's martial arts is good, his mind is rigid. Even without the help of monk Yuanzhi, Mo Li can calmly dig a hole for the swordsman and make him fall into it.
The doctor is so smart! Meng Qi thought proudly.
The ink carp must have caught the swordsman.
Similarly, the swordsman must be dead silent.
- If you want to grab the tail of Piaoping Pavilion, you have to count on your own results.
The curvature of the corners of his mouth widened, and Meng Qi's eyes were full of smiles.
With a "bang", the wheels got stuck in the cracks of the stones, and the dry wood fell to the ground.
The cow couldn't pull the car, and he hummed around in place twice, burying his head and starting to nibble on the sap in the wild.
Seeing this situation, the killer of Piaoping Pavilion knew that the camouflage of driving the car was completely impossible. He looked around irritably, and quickly changed directions while taking advantage of the darkness.
After the killer turned over two dirt slopes, he jumped into a dry ditch without warning, crawled motionless, and watched the corner of the dirt slope to prevent anyone from following.
Meng Qi naturally wouldn't be fooled.
In the next short distance, the killer changed three directions one after another, lying on the water ditch and drilling the haystack to hide the fox hole. Meng Qi was angry and funny, because he knew that he was not exposed, and the killer didn't know that someone was really following him.
But no matter whether it is or not, people just pretend that this is the habit of the Piaoping Pavilion killer, and they will squat first and then talk about it.
Vigilance is enough, and it does work.
(Meng Qi: After all, Fengxingge and other Jianghu people don't have my martial arts skills, such keen eyesight, and the brain to see through all tricks... )
When he thought of the pictures of the many killers in Piaoping Pavilion who kept repeating the movements of jumping, drilling, and lying down without any danger, confronting the imaginary stalkers, and constantly "fighting wits and courage", Meng Qi felt particularly funny.
This is a good material that can support a one-man show, and it is time to go on the stage and carry the banner!
Seeing that the killer entered the fox cave and couldn't get out, Meng Qi simply turned his head and quickly sent the sleepy farm boy along with the car and cattle to the nearest village entrance.
Although I don't know which village he is from, he is always from this eight townships. Speaking of which, this child is also unlucky. Maybe he just went out to deliver dry wood to the car. Two or three miles away, he was unfortunately hijacked on a deviated path.
Meng Qi could have ignored this matter, and it would not be bad to sleep in the wild overnight in summer.
But look at the weasels, foxes, and snakes jumping around in the wild... Ahem, let's send people back.
This is a heart-to-heart comparison, which leads to unbearable hearts. Anyway, idle is idle.
When Meng Qi came back from strolling, the killer had already emerged from the fox hole and was replaced by a big tree girl two miles away.
Condescending, looking for a good location.
Unfortunately, in Meng Qi's eyes, there were many flaws: the leaves beside the thick branches were flattened, the bird's nest on the tree was empty, and the fox that had previously occupied the nest was angrily spinning around under the tree.
-Also bring home with you.
Four foxes, big and small, squatted in grass nests, tried to climb trees, and a bald fox with a white beard ran to Meng Qi's vicinity.
The old fox carefully observed Meng Qi, his hunting talent and cunning nature made the old fox see that the guy who destroyed his cave was Meng Qi's prey.
Meng Qi suddenly turned his head to meet the eyes of the bald old fox, who immediately scurried away without a trace.
When the Piaoping Pavilion killer changed positions to hide again, the bald fox suddenly appeared in front of Meng Qi, then ran and stopped in one direction, as if leading the way.
"Ha." Meng Qi paced with his hands behind his back, his movements unhurried and slow.
As a dragon vein, Meng Qi would not be surprised by this "preferential treatment". He also knew that the bald fox was also guarding him, otherwise, why would the other three foxes disappear? This kind of revengeful, self-conscious little guys is really interesting.
Dragon veins like spiritual creatures.
- A fox is a fox, anyway, now he is a humanoid.
The killer of Piaoping Pavilion finally found that he seemed to be entangled by a fox. He frowned and quickly changed his place to hide.
The bald fox kept sending its other three foxes to sneak in ambush, and every time it pinpointed the killer's location, it would come to Meng Qi to lead the way. The sight of the Pingge killer.
Meng Qi: "..."
The sub-rudder of Piaoping Pavilion was not found, and a nest of foxes were trained to ambush and sneak to expose the killer's old bottom.
What a surprise.
No wonder!
Meng Qi rubbed his forehead twice, and then picked up the bald fox with lightning speed.
The bald fox was stunned, how did this person suddenly appear in front of him when he was more than a dozen paces away
It was about to struggle when it suddenly darkened in front of its eyes. When it opened again, it was shocked to find that Meng Qi was holding a chubby little fox in his left hand. This was the grandchild of the bald fox. At this moment, his claws were scratching in panic.
The remaining two big foxes hurriedly came out to rescue, the family of four wanted to make a cry, but suddenly felt a terrible breath enveloped their heads.
Can you still call? Trembling directly.
The bald fox looked at Meng Qi desperately.
As a result, Meng Qi took it and shook it with the little fox, as if threatening the other two, and then maintained the state of one fox in one hand, and slowly continued to find the killer.
As Meng Qi expected, the killer of Piaoping Pavilion did not continue to "hide and hide" after coming out this time, but started to hurry in the dark.
"He didn't see you, but the atmosphere you made made him uneasy. Killers like him have intuition." Meng Qi said to the two foxes.
This is talking to himself, because the fox can't understand what Meng Qi is saying.
It is true that Longmai likes spiritual creatures, but Meng Qi prefers to bully them. This problem stems from the fact that gerbils are always bullied.
Will Taijing Longmai, who has become a humanoid, take revenge? impossible.
After Meng Qi's intimidation was over, he threw the two stiff and trembling foxes in his hands into the grass, and Shi Shiran walked away.
The Piaopingge Killer had no idea that such a play was being staged around him, and he kept a vigilant posture while looking around and rushing lightly.
Meng Qi's breath was already integrated with the surrounding world. His pace seemed slow, and in a blink of an eye, he was three feet away from the killer.
If it weren't for the shadow in the moonlight that might reveal himself, Meng Qi would not be noticed when he stood directly behind the killer.
In the middle of the moon, Meng Qi vaguely saw an isolated temple appearing in front of him.
The temple is very small, with four walls and a courtyard.
There is no small pagoda dedicated to the relic, but there is a row of long banners embroidered with scriptures standing behind the temple.
The long flags are yellow and white, many of which have faded.
Meng Qi watched the killer go around the small temple and swept into the gloomy forest behind Changfan.
"It turned out to be hiding in a tomb."
Meng Qi suddenly realized that this temple was actually a family temple. The squires and clans often built a temple next to their ancestral tombs, and asked nearby eminent monks or monks from famous temples to be the abbots. The oil, salt and rice cloth used in the family temple are all produced by the clan members, and the scale of this family temple is usually not too large and not well-known.
Unless there has been a first-rank member of the clan, or the clan is famous in the local area, there are endless generations of candidates for the imperial examination in the family.
Ordinary family temples will not be flattered by people, and no one will go to burn incense except for the clan, and they rarely go there on weekdays. There are three monks in the temple, which are considered too many, usually an old monk with two little novices.
There is no money, only the rice grains in the tank.
No one would rob them unless they were hungry. Besides, people in the Jianghu are reluctant to touch these temples, because no one knows what kind of people this family has come out of.
Clans who can build temples for monks to recite sutras, dare not say that they are rich and powerful, at least they will not be poor, so if their children do not go to study for the imperial examination, they will be sent to the most prestigious martial arts sect nearby to learn their skills. Besides seeking revenge, who wants to provoke
Remote, gloomy and desolate, most people still walk around.
It's a really good hiding place. I don't know whether Piaoping Pavilion dug the tomb secretly without the knowledge of the temple monks, or colluded with the monks inside and out.
Meng Qi looked at the candlelight that suddenly lit up in the small temple, and came to a conclusion.
The author has something to say: Fat Rat: Overbearing
fox: shivering
