Chapter 472 Panjiu City, Two Errors and One Crime
Li Changxiao walked out of the temple and went up more than 400 meters. Each step was difficult to walk on. The road was steep and high, and it had been in disrepair for many years. There were weeds on both sides. Occasionally, there were strange snakes entwined in front of the road, which made people feel cold.
There were several people walking with him, all of whom were poor people. Thinking that there was a mountain god dining hall 400 meters above the mountain, the temple had always been ruled that only three copper coins could be used for a full meal, so they thought about going up the mountain again.
The road was difficult to walk on, so he had no choice but to retreat. Slowly, only Li Changxiao was left. The dangers and obstacles seemed to be nothing to him. He touched the ground with his toes, and his figure was erratic, like a startled wild goose jumping up.
Finally, he arrived at the dining hall and had to eat the vegetarian food. It is worth mentioning that if he passed the dining hall and wanted to continue climbing up, the road was visible to the naked eye and much easier to walk.
What the meaning is, it is not difficult to guess, but I don’t know whether it is man-made or natural.

He used three copper coins to buy a vegetarian meal, and then went to the spring water in the back mountain to scoop a mouthful of clear spring water to drink. After eating and drinking, he went down the mountain.
Tianjian Mountain is so named. Walking on the mountain road is like walking on a side road. There are strange rocks on both sides. The mountain is very beautiful from a distance, but if you really go up the mountain road and try to climb the mountain, you will complain bitterly.
But the pedestrians on the road dare not complain. They know that it is difficult to climb the mountain but they still want to burn that incense. It is said that this is intentional, and the mountain god is testing everyone's sincerity.
Difficult, difficult.
This difficult road will be smooth in the future.
Most of the people who go up and down the mountain say this to themselves.
Return to the foot of Tianjian Mountain by the original route, and then go around the road. Because Tianjian Mountain is more than ten thousand feet high and reaches the sky, most pedestrians will not spend energy to cross this mountain. Going around the foot of the mountain, the road is a little longer, but it saves a lot of effort.
With the protection of the mountain god, the banditry around seems to be much less. After walking four or five miles along the way, there was no big king who jumped out from the roadside to rob.
Rumor has it that if you dare to rob under the nose of the mountain god, you will be asking for trouble and will end your family lineage.
There are many legends about the mountain god in this area. Most of them are friendly and upright. What caught Li Changxiao's attention is that the mountain god of Tianjian Mountain seems to be more like a "Buddha".
The mountain god is wearing a cassock, stepping on a giant eagle, and his eyes open and close, which is also very unique.
After leaving the Tianjian Mountain area, the next journey will be much more difficult.
Another seven days.
After trekking for many days, Li Changxiao stood on the top of a mountain and looked into the distance, and finally saw a big city. He had extraordinary eyesight, and even from a great distance, he could see the plaque on the city gate, which read [Panjiu City].
Li Changxiao opened the map, which he bought from a peddler along the way. Seeing Panjiu City proved that he was not far away from Dayu City. With the speed of ordinary people, it might take more than three months, but with his speed, he could reach it in one and a half months at the slowest, and within one day at the fastest.
Li Changxiao finally saw the bustling city, and was a little happy for a while. He planned to go into the city and rest for a while.
After all, the hexagram showed that it was fine to do whatever he wanted, so he did whatever he wanted.
He looked at the remaining money on hand, which was still "three taels". After thinking about it, he decided to be free and go to the most luxurious inn.
There are only three famous inns in Panjiu City, one Quzhi Inn, one Huili Inn, and one Chengtian Inn.
Quzhi Inn is located in the downtown area, and nearby is the fireworks and brothels known as the den of money. It is a place full of red dust, but it is also the most desirable. Huili Inn is cheap and generous, simple and elegant, without losing its connotation, and is more popular among merchants.
As for Chengtian Inn, as its name suggests, Chengtian is an inn with unclear relationship with government officials. Li Changxiao spent one or two silver coins to check in at Chengtian Inn, took the room card, and went back to the room.
He slept until the evening, stretched his waist, opened the window, and saw that the street was in a hurry. It was so lively, so he went downstairs and followed the flow of people, strolling while enjoying the local customs.
It was a lively moment.
At night. There were fewer people on the street, and Li Changxiao also returned to the inn to rest.
But before that, he still needed to have a full meal to satisfy his gluttony, and then fall asleep, so that he could be considered sweet.
So, he sat on the stool, called the waiter, waved his hand, and ordered a bowl of hot noodles, a bowl of beef, a plate of crispy beans, and a small glass of wine.
"Sir, each dish for dinner needs an extra three cents." The waiter said in advance.
"It's okay."
Li Changxiao waved his hand, not caring about the small amount of money.
The waiter said "Okay" and went to work. Among the three inns in Panjiu City, only Chengtian Inn was open day and night, because sometimes at night, there would be officials on the road who stayed overnight.
At this time, it was dark outside. Calculating the time, it should be the hour of Hai. At this time, it was pitch black outside, so there were almost no pedestrians.
At this moment, in the lobby of the inn, there was only Li Changxiao, a strange man, who was still not sleeping, but drinking by himself.
After a while, the waiter brought the dishes, first a plate of crispy red beans to whet the appetite, then a bowl of beef. As for the hot noodles and wine, they would have to wait for some time.
Li Changxiao didn't care, first picked up the beef, wrapped it with crispy red beans, and put it into his mouth together. The aroma of meat and beans filled his mouth, and then he took a sip of the spring and winter plum wine he brewed himself.
He felt like he was going to heaven, floating in the air. His appetite was greatly satisfied, and the waiter couldn't bear to swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw this. The greedy bug in his stomach was acting up, and he also wanted to taste it like this.
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
The waiter hurried to open the door, the candlelight flickered, and the cool breeze outside the door blew into the house, mixed with some body odor. Perhaps the people who came here had worked hard all the way, and they sweated a lot, and they were dry and wet and dry again.
But there were three people who came, standing shoulder to shoulder, blocking the door tightly. When the waiter just opened the door, he was startled and thought that the visitor was not friendly.
Looking more carefully, it turned out to be officials.
The waiter took a half step back and bowed sideways, "Master, please come in quickly, please come in quickly."
After the words fell, the three people did not move.
The official on the right raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and pushed the man in the middle heavily.
The man in the middle staggered, and in three or two steps, he stumbled into the inn.
The waiter only understood at this time that the left and right sides were officials who detained the prisoners, and the one in the middle was the detained prisoner.
"Two sirs, you are tired from the journey, what would you like to eat?"
After the three entered the inn, the waiter closed the door and asked flatteringly.
"Two taels of wine, beef, donkey meat." One person shouted heroically.
"Brother, this is not good."
The other person looked at the criminal, "We still have a mission."
"What are you afraid of? With the kung fu of you and me, even if she is given ten courages, can she still run away?"
"That's right."
...
The two sat down, and the waiter first put the wine ordered by Li Changxiao on the table for the two.
The two drank wine to warm up their bodies and felt comfortable all over.
Li Changxiao was not annoyed, but looked at the three people's dress curiously.
Let's talk about the two officials first. One has a tiger back, a bee waist and a mantis leg. One is bald and scarred, and the other has a square face and bright eyes. They are all very energetic. You can tell at a glance that they are masters of martial arts.
Looking at their clothes, they were wearing half-martial and half-police uniforms, one holding a killing stick, and the other carrying a machete, with murderous intent and strong hostility.
No wonder the waiter was frightened to the point of weakness after just one encounter. Just looking at their appearance, they were indeed brave and domineering.
At this time, the two were sitting opposite each other drinking, so happy. Don’t look at them as if they were relaxed. If anyone approached, they would be able to detect it in an instant and kill them.
After observing the two.
Look at the criminal being escorted.
Compared with the two people’s unrestrained and generous, the criminal was aggrieved. She couldn’t sit or move, because the two people’s aura was locked on her.
Any movement could be exchanged for a killing stick.
The criminal had obviously suffered from this before. At this moment, he stood honestly on the right side of the two people’s dining table, watching the two people drinking and having fun, but he was fixed in place.
