Chapter 478 Undercurrent

In the Elong Mountain Temple, the statue of the mountain god is made of stone, and more than a hundred craftsmen spent several years carefully carving it.

The statue of the god stands in the middle of the hall, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He sits sideways on a giant turtle, wears loose sleeves, exposes his breasts, holds a fan in his hand, and looks up to the sky to smile.

The incense is indispensable, and the stone carving body has a layer of dust on the surface. This is the result of long-term incense and incense.

The god of incense would not find this thing dirty.

The mountain gods and the gods of the four directions of Dayu State really have their own characteristics and are different from each other. But if they insist on having some similarities, they are not entirely lacking. Li Changxiao discovered one thing and started to make more guesses.

But if you want to confirm it, you still need to go to multiple temples and see all the statues before you can make an inference.

In the Elongshan Temple, people were coming in and out. Some people were kneeling down and praying devoutly. Some people were offering incense and praying. The crowd was surrounded by people in white clothes. However, that handsome man seemed inconspicuous. No one looked at him, let alone paid any attention to him. It stops.

Maybe there was a hint of pretense and he was withdrawn from the world.

After looking at each other like this for a few times, he took in the entire appearance of the statue, not missing any detail. After seeing its charm clearly, Li Changxiao did not want to stay for a long time, so he left.

After leaving the temple, he looked at the street. Seeing the three people walking side by side, they had arrived at the corner of the street. The prisoner who was being held by the shoulders was still on the soft bed with his legs and feet, almost half-carrying him away.

The sharp claws were clasped on her shoulders. Although it was extremely painful, without this help, she would not be able to walk.

Li Changxiao withdrew his gaze, a little light accumulated in his eyes, and then disappeared.

Right and wrong, true and false, he can't hide it from himself, but the time has not come yet.

"As the hexagram shows, it's really not wrong."

"Travel slowly and as you please, interesting things will happen, good and bad will be vague, and the harvest will be unpredictable."

Li Changxiao dug into his pockets.

There is still plenty of money today, and it is still early, so let’s go in style.

…

Let's talk about Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's party. Since they left Elong Temple, they walked for several miles, crossing streets and alleys. There were many people walking around. Passers-by looked sideways and stopped, shaking their heads, sighing or pity.

The unknown prisoner regained some strength and gradually found his feet on the ground. However, the black iron ball was really heavy and dragged him along, causing his ankles to ache.

Under the body-covering robe, the body was entangled with sin ropes, and the hands were tied behind the back, almost completely fitting, causing pain, numbness, and even loss of consciousness. Just walking is a torture.

But he walked all the way.

It's uncomfortable.

To go to the extreme south, the trip may take three or four years. In other words, the suffering and torture of this journey will last three or four years.

Fortunately, I have at least three or four more years to live...

Zhang Longwei stood half forward to meet the road. He took the criminals along the way and visited the major temples one by one. It was a routine matter.

Finally, the criminal was escorted back to Chengtian Inn and thrown into the stable.

Zhao Hu sneered and left with Zhang Long, intending to drink up the unfinished wine.

The prisoner couldn't get up. She had shackles on her feet, tied with a black iron ball, and a sin rope on her body. It was as tough as iron wire and could not be untied by many human beings. It would be with her for the rest of her life. His upper body was tied up, his hands and feet were tied up, and he had nowhere to use his strength, so he couldn't get up.

In the end, everything fell into despair, and he lay on the ground in a daze. The only exposed eye was completely gray, and could no longer make any waves.

…

On the other side, brothers Zhang Long and Zhao Hu escorted the unknown prisoner back to the stable and went straight to the lobby. It was past Chen hour, noon had not yet arrived, and it was not lunch time. There were only a few people in the hall, just twos and threes.

The two masters were sitting there, making bold moves, and no one dared to neglect them. Zhao Hu glanced at him, and no one in the hall dared to look at him.

The killing stick shows murderous intent and only makes people fearful and cold. Zhao Hu pushed hard, and the stick was embedded in the ground. Then he let go, and the killing stick still remained upright, taller than a person, and exuding cold air.

With a wave of their hands, the two ordered vinegared fish, tofu rolled with meat, crispy beans, soy-flavored beef, donkey meat...

There are some meat dishes but no vegetarian dishes. I also remembered that when I got up in the morning, I didn't drink any wine, so I lit four jars, and finally took out ten copper coins and sprinkled them heroically.

The sound of coins rolling around was heard, and the waiter hurriedly picked them up. Seeing the embarrassed look, the two brothers laughed boldly, eating meat and drinking wine, having a great time.

After only eating a few mouthfuls, it was inevitable that he would feel bored. Zhao Hu smashed the wine bowl and broke it all over the floor. The diners around him were startled. Zhao Hu asked: "Brother, eighty taels is a lot. Just eating is not worth it." Come out."

Hearing this, Zhang Long frowned and said, "That's right, that's right. The road is blocked and long. The road is blocked and long. There are mostly mountain roads and forest roads during the escort. The gold and silver treasures only hurt my shoulders."

"It's just here, I can spend some money going out."

Zhao Hu became interested and said: "Well, it's rare for you and me to stay overnight and pay a visit to the mountain god. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to have a good time."

"When I came back, I heard someone say that the oiran from Zuichun Tower in Panjiu City is very beautiful. Since the two of us feel that the money is too heavy for us, why don't we use it quickly?"

Zhang Long took a sip of wine, his face turned red, and he waved his hands and said: "That's not right, that's not right. The prisoner is still here. If he is left here to have fun while we wait, we are derelict in our duties."

"Your Majesty's laws are strict. It's not like you haven't seen her kill any prince who broke the law a few days ago."

"Whatever happens if something unexpected happens, do you and I still need our heads?"

When Zhao Hu heard this, he was also discouraged and said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Long put a piece of beef into his mouth, took another sip of wine and said, "How did I know?"

"Hey." Suddenly, Zhao Hu's eyes lit up, "I thought of an idea, so that the two of us can go to Zuichun Tower without neglecting our duties."

Zhang Long hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it?"

Zhao Hu said: "In this case, the two of us will take him away, take him away, isn't that convenient?"

Zhang Long's eyes lit up, slapped the table and stood up, praising: "Good plan, good plan, you are really smart."

The two thought of this, and quickly filled their stomachs, and even stopped drinking the wine. They went to the stable and called the prisoner who was lying on the ground, dazed.

The prisoner did not respond to the first few calls. Zhang Long felt that his authority was violated, and he was angry and threatened coldly: "If you don't get up again, I will break your bones!"

After saying this, his momentum was extremely strong. However, why should a person with a dead heart be afraid of this? The nameless prisoner glanced sideways, like dead water, without any emotion.

Even if Zhang Long split her in half at this moment, what would it matter?

Long pain or short pain, it's all pain. She is a dying person, what else can she care about?

Zhang Long became even angrier, and with his sword, he cut a long crack in the ground with just the momentum.

Even so, the prisoner still did not move, and this time, it was Zhang Long's turn to be in pain.

His Majesty has ordered that this person must be sent to the southernmost place, without any mistakes, and must not die halfway, so Zhang Long punched and kicked her, humiliated her in various ways, but he was very careful and did not dare to take her life.

The prisoner was obviously heartbroken, but it was more troublesome.

At this time, Zhao Hu grinned and sneered, but said: "Brother, the situation is abnormal, there must be something wrong. I suspect that she did not get up, and it was the store waiter who discussed the escape plan with her when he was feeding the horses last night."

"I will go and behead the waiter! Enforce the law impartially!"

After that.

He picked up the stick and was about to leave, murderous, poor waiter, who was about to die under the stick without knowing the reason.

Hearing this, the prisoner immediately started to struggle and stood up. He used all his strength and various methods to finally stand up.

Zhao Hu then stopped.
