Longhu Mountain is located in Jiujiang County, Jiangyou, on the west road of Jiangnan, while Laoshan Mountain is in Qilu. To go to Longhu Mountain, it is natural to go all the way south.
On the way, we passed through Jinling, passed through Huizhou, and crossed the Guanjiang River before arriving at Jiangyou.
Wang Yan and his party of eight people, several of them have learned the method of flying clouds and fog, even if they fly with one or two people, there is no problem at all.
On the third day after leaving the mountain gate, the eight people arrived in Huizhou.
At dusk, the eight people descended the clouds and saw a small town standing not far ahead, so they walked along the official road.
As the sun went down, the figures of these eight people gradually elongated.
This is the southern boundary of Huizhou, which belongs to Qingyang County under the jurisdiction of Huizhou.
"Indus Town!"
Arriving at the entrance of the town, there is a stone tablet standing on the left side of the road, which is very dilapidated, with the words "Wutong Town" engraved on it, which can be vaguely recognized.
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"
The town is not big, the houses are sparse, and the population is not dense.
"Seeing that it's getting late, in my opinion, let's settle down here tonight! It's not too late to go on our way in the morning tomorrow."
Yun Zhongliu looked up at the sky and said his plan.
"Yeah! That's what I mean, Junior Brother Wang, what do you think?"
Chen Xiu nodded first, then turned his eyes to Wang Yan.
"Let it be arranged by Senior Brother!"
Wang Yan replied, his eyes looking straight into the town.
The eight people entered the town one by one, and on the market alleyway, although there were many pedestrians coming and going, but when they saw them, they all showed strange eyes and looked strange, like watching monkeys, whispering.
Several disciples were uncomfortable with these people, and they could not help frowning slightly. After careful observation, they noticed that something was wrong.
"Strange! Senior Brother, have you noticed that along the way, we haven't seen a single man, all of them are women and children!"
Luo Changsheng couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and said directly.
"Yes! I also discovered that the people walking in this market seem to be all women and children, and there is no adult man at all."
Chang Rui also agreed out loud, and was shocked.
"Could it be that you have entered the daughter's country? It's all women!"
Zhang Duan joked and smiled, but his voice was always loud, and this sound immediately attracted several people around him to look over.
"When you go out, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth, don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Xiu rolled his eyes at him, his tone was gloomy, and he reminded him.
As a result, Zhang Duan was silent for a while, and laughed twice.
Wang Yan was also aware of the strange scene in the town. There were all women in and out of the town. Occasionally, there were children with children, but not many. There were no young strong men at all.
A few people came to the center of the town. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians here. There was an inn on the right side of the road. In front of the door was a banner with the words "Fulai Inn".
Even the guy who ran the hall and solicited customers could not see half a person.
In such a secluded town, there are basically not many inns for people to stay in. It is possible that there is only one in the whole town. If you miss it, there will be no more, so the eight people did not hesitate and directly pushed the door open. .
"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, store owner, do you have a guest room?"
Yun Zhongliu took the lead to greet him, and at the same time he asked.
In the counter, a plainly dressed woman was taking a nap when she suddenly heard someone calling, and when she opened her eyes, she was slightly startled.
"A few... A few Taoist priests, do you want to live in a hotel?"
The woman stood up, smiled and greeted Wang Yan and the others.
"Exactly! There are eight of my apprentice brothers, let's have four rooms!"
Yun Zhongliu thought for a while and made a decision.
The board and lodging along the way were all arranged by him, and no one had any opinion. It was really wasteful for one person to share one room, and it was unnecessary.
"Uh... This, several Taoist priests are embarrassed, please forgive the slave family for talking, it is not because the slave family refused to arrange accommodation, there is a reason for this. According to the slave family's opinion, it is better for the Taoist priests to leave the town as soon as possible, otherwise they will be punished by the Mo family. When people see it, they will not be able to leave if they want to.”
Embarrassed, the woman walked out of the counter, persuading her with kind words.
"Oh? Why is that?"
Hearing this, not only Yunzhongliu, but also several other disciples were puzzled, and there is no reason for the shop owner to drive customers out.
"This... This matter is a long story. All in all, it's better for you to leave quickly. The slave family will never harm you. I'm really sorry!"
The woman saluted again and again, and looked out the door from time to time.
"Shopkeeper, dare to ask what happened to the precious land? When I was waiting just now, I didn't see a man on the road. I don't know why?"
Wang Yan looked at the woman in front of him, and simply stepped forward to bow and ask.
"Alas! It's hard to explain this in a few words. All the men in the town were forcibly recruited by the Mo family to work. I see that several Taoist priests are from other places. If they are discovered by the Mo family, they may be If you want to be arrested for work, you might as well leave as soon as possible, so that you can be quiet and peaceful."
The woman looked at Wang Yan and saw that he was handsome and his eyes seemed to have a magical power, making people unable to bear to reject his question.
"Mo Family? Forcibly recruiting people to work? There is such a thing!"
Chang Rui and Zhang Duan on the side looked at each other with surprise.
"Employers and workers, what matters is your love and my wishes. Where can there be a reason for forcibly recruiting people to work? It's not Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall! Is it possible that people who pass by from other places will not be spared? Is there still a king's law?"
Zhang Duan anticipated that it was not the local bullies who were bullying the people.
"I don't know where the Mo family is sacred? Forcibly recruiting people to work is simply lawless. If you do this, don't the government care?"
After listening to her words, Yun Zhongliu's heart was also a little stunned.
"Do? What do you do? The magistrates call him brothers and sisters, not to mention Wutong Town, even the entire Qingyang County, there is nothing you can do about him."
The woman's chest was up and down, and she was very angry when she thought about it.
"The store owner, please tell me the situation! Our brothers, the most annoying thing is that someone is bullying the weak. If there is really any difficulty, but it doesn't matter, maybe it can help you?"
Chen Xiu was also quite curious in his heart, so he couldn't help asking bluntly.
What he cultivates is the one of the practitioners. Since he encounters injustices in the world, he has to take care of them. Not only can he accumulate good karma, but at the same time, it is of great benefit to his own practice, and he can also obtain a lot of merit.
"Hahaha! It's just you? Don't joke about the Taoist priests, the power of the Mo family is not something that a few Taoist priests can afford, so I advise you to keep your own business in order to avoid implicated me too. go in."
The woman stared at a few people with a mocking expression on her face, but she didn't agree with their words at all.
I kindly persuaded them to leave, but they were good.
It doesn't matter if they are courting death, if they involve themselves, the trouble will be big.
