I left Zhuangzi and headed from the south to the north. I met my old friend’s residence on the way, so I went to visit and let me know the details. After walking all the way, while still investigating the recent movement of the river beach, Qiankun Dao's return to the big river beach this time seems to be very low-key, not as big as a few years ago. By this time, many people still don't know that Qiankun Dao has made a comeback.
I lived in Yangjiazhuang for two days and drank wine with Yang Lei for two days. Yang Lei was reliable. He knew that I was going to travel everywhere and told the old friends to make old friends. So he shared some of the burden for me and sent someone there. Go to Shihewan and tell Mu Jiu.
After leaving Yangjiazhuang, the next stop is Tsing Yi Tower. In the past few years, I have been living in seclusion, rarely going out, and have broken contact with Tsing Yi Tower. Qiankun Dao has been retreating for several years. Tsing Yi Tower should probably be moved back to Tongchuan from Xiangcheng, so I went straight to Tongchuan.
After so long, Tongchuan City, as in the past, does not seem to have been changed by the wind and rain on the river beach. When I arrived in Tongchuan, the sky was gloomy and it seemed to be raining.
Wearing a straw hat, I entered Tongchuan through the city gate, and after a few steps, the sky became more and more gloomy, and pedestrians on the road hurried forward to find a place to shelter from the rain. Sticking to a row of eaves, I walked all the way to the Liyuan Theatre. At this time, the rain began to drip.
The Liyuan Theatre was still the same as before, but when I walked up to it, I found that the gate was locked. This place is where the hall masters of Tsing Yi Building often gather. It is usually not closed and locked.
I hesitated for a while, is it that Tsing Yi Tower is still in Xiangcheng? Didn't move back to Tongchuan? After a few years, how could they stay in the small county
After thinking about it, I couldn’t think of an answer. The rain was getting worse and worse. There were no pedestrians around, and there was nowhere to inquire. I raised my head and looked around. There are a few under the row of courtyard walls opposite the Liyuan Theatre. The beggar was shrinking to avoid the rain, I thought for a while and walked over quickly.
These beggars were so bored and dozed off with their necks curled up. After I walked over, they didn't speak, and took the dry food and cooked beef from my bag. The meaty beggar gulped and swallowed, I smiled, raised my hand and handed him a piece.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and the people next to them were also quite greedy. I divided all the dry food I brought with me. Several people were grateful and they became familiar with each other in a moment.
I talked about it for a while, then deliberately averted the topic, pointed at the Liyuan Theatre diagonally opposite, and said, "Isn't this a theatre garden?"
"It used to be a theater, but no one sang anymore. Brother, you are not a local. I don't know this. This is the main hall of Tsing Yi Building. Tsing Yi Building is powerful."
When I was in Tsing Yi Tower a few years ago, I hadn't seen these beggars. The beggars thought it was the first time I came to Tongchuan.
These beggars are wandering around every day. In fact, the news is very well-informed. I heard from them that the Tsing Yi Tower had already moved back to Tongchuan from the small county seat. Only more than ten days ago, the Tsing Yi Tower suddenly disappeared and disappeared.
The beggars said that they were begging here the day before, and the Tsing Yi Tower was still in good condition. At night, they ran to the shabby house in the east of the city to sleep. When they woke up, they came here again. The door of the Liyuan Theatre was locked. , The beggars were still surprised at the time because
The big stage here is never locked.
Since that day, the locked door has never been opened.
After listening to the beggar’s account, I realized that the departure of Tsing Yi Tower was what happened in the past ten days. I have stayed in Tsing Yi Tower for so long, and the rules of Tsing Yi Tower are still clear. It’s absolutely impossible for Tsing Yi Tower to close the Liyuan Theatre.
I wondered whether the sudden departure of Tsing Yi Tower was related to Qian Kun Dao? Speaking of Qiankun Dao and Tsing Yi Tower, it can be considered deadly foe, but when Qian Kun Dao came to Dahe Beach a few years ago, Tsing Yi Lou was guarded by the guardian Dao, and Qian Kun Dao still failed to succeed.
But I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I didn't know what was going on. I still have to find a way to find out.
I pretended to be nonchalant, and chatted with the beggars for a long time. At this time, the rain came quickly and went quickly. After a while, the rain gradually stopped. I left here, along the long street, slowly Of walking.
Walking all the way to the south of Tongchuan, I met two guys who had just come out of the casino. One of them was quite familiar. When I thought about it, I remembered that when I was in Tsing Yi Tower, Tongchuan’s business relied on Tsing Yi. Lou protector, this man, who is in the casino, often goes to Tsing Yi Lou.
I didn't move for the time being. After the two separated, I followed the man, followed in a secluded alley, and stopped him.
"What are you doing?" The man sneered, "open your eyes and see, who is Lao Tzu? You, a thief, dare to follow Lao Tzu..."
I didn't speak, lowered my head, and squeezed the opponent's wrist. The man was in pain, but his mouth was still very hard at the beginning. After I added a bit of strength, he couldn't stand it anymore and started begging for mercy.
"Ask you one thing, let's be honest, it's nothing for you, why is there no one at the Liyuan Theatre in Tsing Yi Building?"
The man was shocked. He didn't expect me to ask this question. He hesitated, and I immediately added a little force. The man grinned and his waist was squiggly like dried shrimps. pile.
The Liyuan Theater seemed to disappear overnight, including the people up and down in Tsing Yi. They also disappeared completely. Those beggars didn't know what was going on, but the man in front of him was a messenger. He said that on the night when the Liyuan Theatre disappeared, it seemed that someone broke into the stage and moved his hands.
But the man couldn’t tell the specific situation. He said that after that night, Tsing Yi Tower had left Tongchuan City. However, some people in Tsing Yi Tower did not seem to have gone too far, and occasionally they could see him near Tongchuan. When he arrived, the man heard people say that at the ferry to the south of Tongchuan, someone had met the subordinates of Qingyilou.
I don’t understand what happened now. However, I heard that there were people from Tsing Yi Tower in the vicinity of Tongchuan, and I felt hopeful. As long as I could find a few people in Tsing Yi Tower, I would know.
I left this man behind, turned around and left, came out from the south gate of Tongchuan City, and went around in a circle, trying to find a person between Tongchuan and the ferry to see if I could find anyone in Tsing Yi Tower.
There is a lot of rain this season. Not long after the rain stopped, it began to drip and drip again. I can have seven or eight miles away, not yet
See a figure.
At this moment, far from the east, a group of fireworks rose into the sky. The sky was gloomy, and it was raining again, and the firework that lifted into the sky was quickly extinguished.
However, I have observed that the fireworks are like the message fireworks of Tsing Yi Tower. Message fireworks are usually set off in emergencies. As long as there are people in Tsing Yi Tower nearby, they will rush off immediately after the fireworks are set off.
As soon as I saw the fireworks, I ran towards the other side with my legs. To the east of Tongchuan City is a very rugged area. After crossing this rugged wilderness, I arrived at Yuanbao Mountain.
I ran to the east for five or six miles in one breath, and the rain continued to fall. At this time, another group of information fireworks rose from the direction just now. The fireworks were also extinguished by the rain. When the second group of fireworks rose, I knew something must have happened. Such fireworks would normally only be set off once during the flood season, and one time would be enough for the people around to see it.
I don't know what happened, but now that I saw the information fireworks and finally had a goal to look for, I speeded up again and went straight from here. After a rush, I reached the outskirts of Yuanbao Mountain.
Yuanbaoshan is just a collective name, not just one mountain, but a continuous mountainous area. The Yuanbao Mountain is relatively deserted, and there are no special products of mountain products, and almost no one sets foot in it.
I rushed into Yuanbao Mountain. The place where the fireworks were set off just now was at least a dozen miles away. I ran towards that side with all my strength, but the mountain road was difficult and it was impossible to run so fast.
There was only a small road in front of me. I followed the small road and climbed up a hill. Before reaching the top of the hill, another fireworks rose on the other side of the hill. At this time, the rain was less, and the fireworks flew high into the sky, bursting into a huge cloud of light.
After setting off the message fireworks three times in a row, there must have been a terrible situation. I looked behind me. It may be because I ran too fast. By this time, there were no people who came to rescue. I didn't care about that much, I quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, looking forward from the top of the hill, faintly, I could see some people gathered on the side of another hill two or three miles away.
The hill on the opposite side is not too high either. I focused my attention. In a blink of an eye, I could tell that someone was guarding the road halfway up the mountain. Many people wanted to rush over. However, the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and two people were blocking it. Mountain roads, it is difficult for the people below to attack.
The distance is too far, through the sparse rain curtain, I can only see a group of fuzzy figures, who is attacking and defending over there. But this situation can be imagined with the heels. It must be the people of Tsing Yi Tower who are holding the mountain road firmly. It is estimated that they will not be able to resist for too long before they continue to set off information fireworks.
I immediately ran down from the top of the mountain, getting closer, and I saw that there were as many as thirty or fifty people under the hill.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the small road halfway up the mountain. The figure was white with beard and hair. It seemed to have suffered some injuries. He wanted to straighten his waist, but was unable to do so.
The rain continued to drip, drenching this man's hair and his clothes.
"Let's go." The man said to the people who were on the path: "You don't have to die with me."
