Chapter 46

Quiet night, moonlight like practice.

The old Taoist and his party lived in the lotus Taoist temple in Hehua town.

Traceless had already felt the place clearly. He took advantage of the night and quietly dived to the Taoist temple.

In the Sanqing Hall of the Taoist temple, the old Taoist sat still, his eyes closed slightly, and his mouth was full of words.

Behind him, there are three masters, Shangqing, Yuqing and Taiqing.

All the distinguished family representatives of Hehua town stood in two rows respectfully and listened to the Scriptures spitting out by the old Taoist priest.

In the whole hall, except for the vague "murmur" of the old Taoist, the dropping of the needle can be heard.

For a long time, the old Taoist slowly opened his eyes.

"Old fairy!"

The squires saluted respectfully.

"The immortal has something to say. He remembers the piety of the people in Hetang Town and is willing to resolve this crisis, but he needs to sacrifice three animals within three days. And sacrifice a couple of boys and girls to calm the anger of the immortal! It began to rain. I've sent someone to make a list of what the sacrifice needs. Benefactors are all famous families in lotus town. For the sake of peace in lotus town, I think benefactors will go all out. At noon on the third day, sacrifice to the river god. You can't neglect it! "“

The old Taoist's words are slow and reasonable. It seems that he is issuing an immortal decree. He looks solemn and dignified.

All the squires promised respectfully and took the list handed by a Taoist boy.

"The immortal will also ask for property? It's strange! "

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the hall, followed closely, and traceless quietly entered the Sanqing hall.

The crowd turned back in amazement.

The Taoist boy beside the old Taoist changed his face and shouted, "demon, how dare you break into my Taoist temple?"

Looking at Wuji, who was leaning against the door of the main hall, all the squires shouted one after another: "demon, don't you think the lotus town is not enough?"

"The old Taoist priest is obviously playing tricks and swindling you out of money. Are you willing to be fooled?"

Traceless said calmly.

"Nonsense! In front of the old immortal, you have been presumptuous again and again. What is your heart? Do you really come to harm the demons of lotus town? "

One squire angrily pointed to no trace, and the others quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the old Taoist.

"Old fairy, calm down! Don't be angry, old immortal!... "

The old Taoist Huoran opened his eyes, stood up slowly, looked at traceless, and said, "boundless Heavenly Master! You are a bold evil spirit. I won't care about you if you make a few rude remarks. However, lotus town will offer sacrifices on a large scale these days. How can you do it here? If you are wise and interesting, leave quickly, so that you will not go to the immortal to commit a crime and harm lotus town! "

With a few words, several squires immediately glared at each other, looked at no trace, and waved and scolded again and again.

If I hadn't seen him carrying a long sword, I was afraid I would have to push and shove.

No matter how hard it is to see these people, they can't believe what they say. There are shining lights in their eyes and they want to make fun of them, but they know that now their minds have been hoodwinked by the old Taoist. No matter how much they say, they are also against their ears.

So he sighed in his heart and turned back and left.

When they saw him leave, they finally gave a sigh of relief and comforted the old Taoist not to be angry.

That night, Tang Qi and others successfully cheated a family. When they were happy, they suddenly saw no trace again.

Traceless pushed open the door of the broken temple and smiled at the stunned Tang Qi and others.

"You... You... Why do you keep following... What do we do?"

Tang Qi was very angry when he saw the innocent smile.

However, the door was blocked by no trace, and there was no way to run.

"Don't be nervous, brother Tang Qi. I'm not here to share the stolen goods."

Without trace, he walked into the broken temple as he said.

Tang Qi's heart was straight and sudden, and he looked at Wu trace nervously.

"What do you want to do?"

"I know you don't really want to rob the road, nor do you really want to cheat, nor do you want to be greedy for money. I used to have misunderstandings about brother Tang Qi. I'm really sorry. "

Traceless language is sincere, and Tang Qi still plays drums in his heart.

"What do you know?"

Traceless suddenly grinned and said, "I know everything I should know."

Tang Qi stared and said, "what are you doing with us?"

Traceless said, "don't you really want to help the people of lotus town? Don't you want to help them? How much relief can you get by doing this? Besides, there are so many vagrants. Can you take care of them? "

Tang Qi looked dejected when he heard the speech.

"I can't do anything. I was kicked by your donkey when I robbed the road for the first time. You always found out when I cheated some money. What do you do?"

"In fact, I also want to help the people of Hehua town. Unfortunately, I am a person with weak power and light words. Even if I have a thousand mouths, I can't let the people of Hehua town believe me."

When Tang Qi heard the speech, he suddenly "ha ha" said with a smile: I remember, you are a demon! People in lotus town still want to drive you away. Who will believe you“

Traceless saw him smile proudly and said with a light smile, "aren't you afraid of me?"

Tang Qi disdained and said, "the old Taoist is full of nonsense. It's OK to bluff the people in Hehua town. I, Tang Qi, am so easy to bluff? Isn't it ridiculous that he himself is a liar and says you are a demon! "

Traceless thumbs up, looks at Tang Qi with clear and bright eyes, and says, "yes, Tang Qi, there is still a sober in lotus town!"

The other four teenagers hurriedly said, "we don't believe it, we only believe brother Tang Qi!"

Traceless laughed and said mysteriously, "I have a funny thing. Do you want to play?"

"Play?"

Five people are stupid. At this time, he said to play.

Traceless nodded slowly and asked, "the old Taoist is a liar, isn't he?"

The five nodded.

"And you hate such a liar, don't you?"

Tang Qi nodded and the four shook their heads.

Tang Qi stared at the four of them, and his eyes were full of questioning. The four people were surprised and nodded quickly.

"Is it fun if we expose the old liar and let the people of Hehua town no longer be cheated?"

Tang Qi took a disdainful look and said, "I don't want to go into the muddy water!"

Traceless mute, dare to tell you for a long time?

But if he wants to force Tang Qi, he also knows that Tang Qi will not agree to cooperate.

The preparations for sacrifice in Hehua town were carried out in an orderly manner, and many items were transported to the Taoist temple.

It's just that the boy and girl have become a problem. Whose child is not heart meat?

All the squires in Hehua town gathered together and discussed urgently. Finally, they decided to cheat two children in the street. If they couldn't cheat, they would catch them.

The squires took more than a dozen strong men to look for them in the street. All the children in the street looked timidly at those who would never come here on weekdays, and their eyes were full of doubt and panic.

Tang Qizheng sat lazily in the long street, chatting and playing with several children.

"Great benevolent people are merciful and want to choose two children here to raise them. From then on, they don't need to wander here and can't even eat!"

A man opened his duck's high voice and wailed, which attracted all the vagrants to see.

Street children wander all year round and live a hungry life. Once they have it, it is difficult to resist.

Many children's eyes shine rarely. They are staring to see who has such good luck and is favored by the good people.

In the future, they can also wear bright clothes and eat hot noodles, steamed bread and even meat they dream of.

Tang Qi stood up slowly and hid all the children behind him with the teenagers.

He knew that this was not a kind-hearted man, but to find two ghosts to sacrifice the river god for the dead.

A tramp's life is worthless, but it's also life. In Tang Qi's eyes, they are even more valuable than these well-dressed so-called good people.

This street is also inhabited by poor people. They are used to the chaos of the street and the appearance of tramps who are discriminated against or even despised by others.

In the eyes of the wandering children, they eagerly hope that the good people can see themselves, but Tang Qi doesn't let them. Tang Qi protects them behind him like the same old hen.

He nervously looked at the dozen strong men and beat drums in his heart.

"Tang Qi? Do you want to be the enemy of the whole lotus town? Let Hehua town fall into a hopeless situation? "

A squire said, looking at the children behind Tang Qi.

Tang Qi looked at them coldly and suddenly said, "your family also has children. Why don't you let your children sacrifice?"

As soon as this remark came out, the people were in an uproar.

In this lotus town, there are few people who dare to talk to these distinguished, rich and powerful squires like this.

But Tang Qi was fearless. He just felt a little scared that he could not protect these "brothers and sisters".

"How dare you talk to me like that! Tang Qi, we let you on weekdays, but we are not afraid of you! Today's matter is very important. Do you think you can stop it? "

"With me Tang Qi, none of you can take them!"

Tang Qi is resolute. He will never compromise on this matter.

"It's up to you."

More than a dozen strong men flocked to catch the children behind Tang Qi.

Tang Qi and the four teenagers tried hard to stop, but how could their thin bodies resist these powerful men like wolves?

The four teenagers were soon beaten black and blue and bleeding.

Tang Qi was also knocked down repeatedly. In a cry, two children under the age of eight were grabbed by two strong Eagles carrying chickens.

Tang Qi's eyes seemed to be bleeding. If he had a knife in his hand at this time, he would recklessly rush up and stab those ferocious strong men.

The vagrants on the whole street cried, and Tang Qi also cried, frantically chasing after the strong men.

Tang Qi is really anxious this time. He is crazy.
