The person who quietly sneaked over to deliver the message was a thin man, like a monkey. At this time, he was tied up tightly by the patrolmen and thrown into the wild not far from Li Erlang's house. There were people guarding him.

The man saw the fierce Muramasa walking with a young man, and the expression on his face clearly showed that he did not recognize Li Erlang. The two sides looked at each other for a while, and then the man asked hesitantly: "Are you Erlang of the Li family?"

Li Erlang stared at this ordinary-looking man with a thin build, and did not answer directly: "We are a village with the surname Li. There are many Li families, and there are many Li family Erlangs. Which 'Li family Erlang' are you looking for?"

The thin man was stunned for a moment and then realized: "I just saw you walking out of that house on the roadside! You are the Li Erlang the leader said!!"

This skinny monkey-like man didn't recognize him. He was looking for him based on the location of their house.

This time Li Erlang stopped beating around the bush: "Since you know it's me, just say it if you have anything to say!"

The man on the ground wanted to get up and move towards Li Erlang, but as soon as he moved, he was suppressed by the guards.

The thin monkey suddenly changed into another face, with crazy eyes and a sneer, looking like a madman. He stared fiercely at Li Erlang: "You have killed so many people in our village. You will never live in peace again."

When Li Erlang heard that this person was going to say some strange words, he simply ignored them and asked the question he wanted to know: "What kind of religion do you belong to? What did your leader ask you to preach?"

"Hahahahahaha! I am a member of the famous Divine Ball Sect!! You little mortals are scared to death when you hear the reputation of our Divine Ball Sect!!" Thin Monkey boasted proudly: "Our leader said I'm going to make an end with you today. If I don't see you show up in Shiliang before noon, I will personally bring a miracle to wipe out your ruined village and let you be buried with me!!!" The more he went on, the thin monkey struggled. The more intense the action became, Muramasa had to ask another person to come over and suppress him together.

The thin monkey was so confident that he went crazy: "You don't know yet, right? There is an immortal on our mountain now, and he can control copper balls to kill people. With this miracle, why should we be afraid of the government sending troops to suppress bandits? No matter what, you are dead today. Yeah! Hahahaha!"

Hearing what he said, Li Erlang calmed down inexplicably. He didn't feel any panic at all. Instead, he looked calmly at the thin monkey who was pinned to the ground and kept twisting.

The man smiled proudly and smiled, and saw that Li Erlang still had a calm face. When their eyes met, he found that Li Erlang's eyes still did not have any fear, but were full of sympathy.

Thin Monkey's cracked expression suddenly solidified. He asked Li Erlang with a cold expression, "Why aren't you afraid when I mention immortals and miracles?"

Li Erlang squeezed the handle of the knife in his hand and asked casually with a relaxed look on his face: "Have you ever seen that immortal kill someone with a copper ball with your own eyes? You believe in the miracles of your immortal, and I believe in the knife in my hand." After that, He raised his knife and slashed at the thin monkey's neck.

The blade of the knife flashed in the light, and with its sharp light, the thin monkey was so frightened that the whites of his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

The person doing the compression kicked the thin monkey and found that he was indeed fainted and the ground was wet. The people present immediately laughed.

So unafraid.

Li Erlang turned the sword over and then took it back. It turned out that what he had just swung down was not the blade but the back. The force of the strike was not strong. Even if he slashed down, it would not break the man's neck.

The village leader asked someone to bring the thin monkey back to the village and tie him up. After the county government eliminated the bandits, he would be handed over. After the arrangements were made, he turned around and asked Li Erlang what he wanted to do.

Li Erlang was a little embarrassed.

First of all, not everything the messenger says is true. He was so thin that he didn't have much flesh on his body, and he didn't have any weapons at his side. It seemed that he, like Masan, was a junior member of the bandits. People with this status naturally have no access to key information in the village. At most, they are just disposable microphones. As long as they carry the message, the mission is over. The state government and the county government jointly sent troops to suppress the bandits. There were several villages between Shiliang and them. If the bandits' large army could come directly to retaliate, why send a thin person to send a message to let him pass!

What the messenger said was probably an exaggeration. It was true to take revenge on him, but it was false to attack him. The fundamental purpose was to get him to go to Shiliang.

Secondly, the relationship between him and the bandits is getting bigger and bigger. The last revenge was to hijack the village school. This time, he wantonly exaggerated the "miracle". If it is not eradicated, if there is another time, the bandits will definitely get worse. Therefore, there is another meaning in the messenger's words. When the bandit suppression is over, they will still have the energy to come and take revenge on him.

Even if the bandit suppression is successful this time, someone will escape and save part of the power, and then they will still have to seek revenge on him!

Li Erlang thought for a while and looked at Muramasa: "I want to go."

Muramasa patted Li Erlang on the shoulder and praised his choice: "If we don't eradicate the bandits this time, they will come back in the future."

Li Aweng rushed over and discussed with Muramasa to formulate more rigorous patrol arrangements. Then he decided that in order to protect his family, he would directly let the young and old in the family take refuge in the old house in the village, where Hua Lang and the others were guarding. This way he can patrol with peace of mind.

The old man sighed in his heart. It was obviously none of their business, but every time there was a bandit trouble, their family Li Erlang was involved. This time, he was forced to go to Shiliang.

After hearing this, Li Aniang hated these bandits with all her heart. She kept cursing while packing Li Erlang's food, and continued to greet all the eighteen generations of their ancestors.

While the family was packing their luggage, Li Erlang and Ji Qingyue explained what happened. When they came out of the study, they had a bamboo tube in their hands. Under Muramasa's puzzled eyes, he handed the bamboo tube to Li Jinniang: "Be sure to ask for it." Take good care of what’s inside and don’t lose it.”

Li Jinniang took the bamboo tube, carried it behind her back, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, brother!"

Ji Qingyue wanted to go with Li Erlang, but without saying a word, Li Erlang stuffed the hanging scroll into the bamboo tube. When he came outside, he had no chance to speak.

angry.

The group of people locked the doors and windows, and were escorted by the patrol team to the old house in the village. After settling Li Aniang and the others, Li Erlang rushed to Shiliang again.

The sun will rise at this time and the day has just begun.

Compared with the last banditry incident, this anti-bandit operation was massive. Villages along the way set up wooden spikes on the road to block the way. Passersby were strictly checked by the villagers for fear of missing the bandits in disguise.

Since the last time he disguised himself as an undercover agent to kill bandits in Shiliang Academy, Li Erlang became famous in one fell swoop. Within a few days, his story spread unknowingly throughout the nearby villages. Even if some people have never seen Li Erlang, they will know it. When mentioning him, he praised "Erlang of the Li family is brave and resourceful."

There were almost no passers-by on the flat road. Now walking on the same road, I feel in a different state of mind.

Li Erlang had just completed an interrogation in a village. It was said to be an interrogation, but he was let go as soon as he saw him.

At this speed, we would have to walk for an hour and a half to reach Shiliang. I don't know if everything goes well for my father and eldest brother.

Just as he was hurrying and worrying about the front line, a donkey brayed "Uh-huh-huh--" behind him.

An old man sat on a cart piled high with wild grass, holding a branch and gently spanking the donkey's buttocks to drive the donkey to speed up.

The donkey was in pain, howling and trotting on the road.

The wheels of the car turned very fast, and soon it would overtake Li Erlang in front.

Li Erlang slightly stepped aside to let the donkey cart go first.

The donkey cart passed him by. Ji Qingyue, who was sitting behind the donkey cart and leaning on the weeds, waved to him and silently opened his mouth: Hi~

Li Erlang looked in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes and stared at the people on the trolley. He wanted to slap himself to see if it was an illusion.

Ji Qingyue stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers to ask him to come over, so Li Erlang hurriedly trotted to catch up with the donkey cart.

He followed closely behind the donkey cart, not daring to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the old man driving the cart. He did not dare to scold Ji Qingyue, so he could only lower his voice: "Yuelang, how did you get out?!"

Ji Qingyue straightened up from the haystack and pointed to the bamboo tube on the side: "If you don't carry me, I will carry it myself. You also know that now I can stay outside for four hours..."

Yes, Ji Qingyue's time outside has slowly increased from the first two hours to three hours, and now it has been extended to four hours!

After trying many times, they found that four hours was the limit. After staying outside for four hours, they had to return to the painting and could not come out again after twelve hours. If you come out but don't stay for four hours, the red mole will slowly turn black when you return to the painting. During this period, you can continue to travel between the painting and the real world. After the time is up, you will have to wait another day. If you don't go out, the mole on your palm will always be red.

Li Erlang helplessly grabbed the bamboo tube and carried it on his chest: "What are you telling me about this now..."

Ji Qingyue's plan to change the topic failed as he looked around. He looked at Li Erlang in silence. Because he kept trotting along with the donkey cart, sweat slowly began to form on Li Erlang's forehead and water droplets formed on the tip of his nose.

In the cool morning, Li Erlang was wearing a short robe, carrying a machete wrapped in fur on his back, and a bamboo tube with paintings hanging in front of him, his eyes full of helplessness.

As he watched, Ji Qing was more and more attracted to the glistening beads of sweat on the tip of his nose.

He nodded the sweat on his nose like a ghost, and the next second he met Li Erlang's puzzled look.

He was stunned for a moment, suddenly not understanding why he did this...

Just as Ji Qingyue was about to take back his hand, the rebellious hand was caught in the next moment.

Li Erlang didn't want to let him go easily, so he pulled him forward: "Yue Lang, you haven't answered me yet, how did you escape."

Ji Qingyue lowered his head guiltily and tried hard to withdraw his hand, but it didn't move. So he put his fingers into the bamboo tube and touched the scroll inside.

At that moment, he turned into a black mist, and with a "whoosh", his figure completely disappeared from the donkey cart.

Only Li Erlang's suddenly empty hand was left. He lowered his hand and grabbed the bamboo tube helplessly.

Since Ji Qingyue left the donkey cart, Li Erlang didn't have to chase the donkey cart. He gradually slowed down and shook his head helplessly.

He had absolutely no choice but to compromise with such a straightforward person, except to compromise. In short, it was impossible to go back now, let alone put the painting on the roadside.

You can only take it with you.

He would not tell Ji Qingyue that Jing was filled with joy for his pursuit. The moment he suddenly saw Ji Qingyue, his sudden surprise was filled with a beating heart that he could not detect in time.

Ji Qingyue's muffled voice came through the bamboo tube: "I sneaked out while your sister left me alone in the room, and then I jumped over the wall with the bamboo tube on my back. Don't worry, I'll do it before I leave." I left a note for my sister. I have something to say. I found that the wall of the old house is shorter than yours. If it were as high as yours, I might have to work harder, and maybe others would find me."

Li Erlang didn't realize that Ji Qingyue had such a rebellious side. He always thought that Ji Qingyue was a gentle and gentle student, but he turned out to be naughty.

A young man who doesn't know how to farm, but knows a lot of profound knowledge.

"Sigh... Yue Lang, I'm not worried about the impact of anything you do at home. I'm sure I can resolve it with you. I'm just worried that if you go together, you may have an accident or be in danger because of my improper protection. ." It was rare for Li Erlang to speak so earnestly in front of Ji Qingyue. He let out a long sigh: "When a person is injured, you can take medicine and apply it. What should I do if you are injured? If you accidentally hurt the scroll, you will be injured again. How to do it?"

He never dared to imagine the consequences of damage to the scroll.

Li Erlang was like a monk in Tang Dynasty, talking non-stop while walking quickly.

Ji Qingyue also didn't expect that Li Erlang could be such a mother-in-law. Originally, he had never dared to refute Li Erlang because of his guilty conscience, but now he was annoyed by being talked about, and the remaining guilt in his heart was gone.

"Stop, stop, stop! I can be 100% sure that I am a human when I am outside! Bah! I am a human! Ever since I got the relic and can pass through the barrier, you still see that I leave ink marks when I touch things. ? As long as I am not injured, I will be just like you if I am slightly injured. I should take medicine and apply medicine. As for the scroll, if you are worried about carrying it, just find a place to put it. When the time comes, I will do it by myself. It can also be returned to the painting, so it won’t be lost.”

Since the last quarrel, Li Erlang gradually realized his innermost thoughts, and became more cautious towards Ji Qingyue unconsciously, not daring to make any mistakes.

But Ji Qingyue knew nothing about this.

Li Erlang was helpless now, "Yue Lang, you know that I have regarded you as a family member for a long time. I put you in the old house just to let you stay in a safe place. How can I say that you won't be hurt? Let alone Said I would throw you aside. Just this once, don’t make your own decisions next time.”

Ji Qingyue nodded doggedly: "I know, I will never run around carrying a painting on my back next time!"

Sigh... I really can't control this person anymore.

"Next time, don't go into danger with me again. You are at home now and nothing will happen to the county."

"Oh!"

According to Li Erlang's schedule, it would take two hours to get to Shiliang. Ji Qingyue had already come out of the painting, and there was only less than two hours of "relaxation time" left after arriving at Shiliang.

But maybe he doesn't need to show up. The biggest purpose of his coming is to see what the touted "miracle" is. He should be able to give Li Erlang some methods to crack it.

At this time, Li Jinniang from the old house just went out to get something. When she came back, she found that the bamboo tube and the scroll had disappeared. At that moment, she felt that the sky was about to fall, and she was so scared that her heart would jump out of her throat.

Fortunately, he saw the note on the table in the next second, otherwise the poor sister would have fainted.

Li Aniang heard Li Jinniang's soft exclamation and quickly came in to ask what happened.

Li Jinniang came over quietly: "Brother Ji secretly ran away to find the second brother, and they went to Shiliang together!"

!!!

"what!!!"

When sister-in-law Li Liu heard Aunt Li's shouting, she followed the others and ran over: "Sister-in-law, what happened?!"

Aunt Li twitched her lips: "Nothing... nothing happened... I just accidentally stepped on Jin Niang's foot..."
