Ichthyosaur

Daoist Santu ate every grain of rice in the bowl, and put the bowl back into the food box.

Long Chi packed up the food boxes, and was very curious to see so many people gathered on the mountain to watch Bamenzhai robbing ghosts and burial boats.She asked Taoist Santu: "Master, do you gather here to take this opportunity to eradicate the evil of Bamenzhai?" At least Mr. Li Tang had this idea.

Santu Daoist took a deep look at Longchi and said, "I often teach you to be upright and open-minded, and to do things that you can do. Although Bamenzhai is harmful to one side, the ghost burial boat is not a good person. Taking advantage of the seven-story building No matter what the reason is for fighting Bamenzhai and eradicating Bamenzhai, it is helping ghosts to kill people.”

Mr. Li Tang's voice came: "This is a small matter. Those who do great things for the sake of righteousness should not stick to small things."

Longchi turned his head to look, and saw Mr. Li Tang performing lightness kung fu, pointing his toes on the rock, and after a few leaps, he landed on the mountain peak, and the small mountain peak became even more crowded.

Mr. Li Tang held a feather fan and greeted everyone.He smiled and said to Longchi: "It seems that you listened to what I said this morning."

Taoist Santu glanced at Mr. Li Tang, and shouted: "Longchi." He asked, "Even if we can take the opportunity to destroy Bamenzhai, how can we guarantee that Qichonglou will not stay here and cause trouble? Come with the bronze boat, and now the bronze boat has already heard the news and fled, how can the anger of the Seventh Floor be calm?"

Longchi squatted on the ground, holding his chin and muttering: "Then how many more people will die?"

Daoist Yuxuan smiled lightly, gently touched Longchi's casually draped hair, and said, "Don't worry, look again." He twitched slightly.No matter how good the clothes are made of, if they fall to Longchi, they will be too dirty to look at after two days of wearing them.The little girl is hardworking, the teacher and apprentice's small dilapidated house, she is the inside and outside of it, the house is spotless, and her clothes are changed every day, but she can't stop plunging into the river all day long to pick up floating corpses with her bare hands.It's impossible for a little girl to go into the water naked like those rough men.The river is deep, and ordinary small boats would sink in a single wave, and it would take a lot of effort to sail a boat that can travel in the river.

Along both sides of the river, even if there are no water bandits, many people will drown for various reasons, and there will be corpse hunters in many rivers near Shuiwan.Corpse hunters have dealt with corpses all year round, and the dead are full of evil spirits and deep resentment. Even those who can become corpse hunters are hard-fated people. It can be seen at a glance for miles.

Although Longchi looked dirty, her clothes couldn't see the original color, and her face was so smeared that people couldn't see her face clearly, but her body was only stained with dirt and dust, and she couldn't be more clean.The heart is clean, the eyes are clean, the body is not stained with those messy filth, and it is very comfortable to get along with.

Longchi squatted on the ground, and Taoist Yuxuan liked to touch her head, so she let Taoist Yuxuan touch her head.She had always suspected that Taoist Priest Yuxuan must have raised her when she was a child, not the kind that people gave Lingmi and clothes, but the kind that was brought with her.She remembered that before she was very young, there was a soft voice like Daoist Yuxuan gently touching her head, making her grow up quickly.

Daoist Santu and Ergouzi looked sideways at Daoist Yuxuan and Longchi together, their expressions were subtle.

Ergouzi used to raise a dog named Dahuang, and he often squatted like this for him to touch his head.Although Xiaochizi's liking to squat in the dirt pit is purely a bad habit he did not know when he developed it, but at this moment the two of them do look alike.

Daoist Santu saw the happy face of his apprentice, and the good mood of Daoist Yuxuan, he felt terrible.

Those little Taoist priests glanced over Taoist Priest Yuxuan and Longchi vaguely.They all knew that Daoist Yuxuan gave Longchi food and clothes every season, and Longchi's treatment was better than that of the temple master.But Daoist Yuxuan has a great background, they can only be greedy and envious.

Taoist Master Yuji, the master of the Taiping Temple, looked at the battle below with a solemn expression.With his skill, this mist is not enough to cover his sight, and the situation below can be fully seen.He noticed that among the people on the mountain, except for Yuxuan, who was calm and relaxed, and these juniors who were not strong enough, all of them were staring at the direction of Bamenzhai with serious expressions. , I don't know if anyone is pretending.

Long Chi squatted there, yawning in comfort, and started digging the ground with his hands again.

Daoist Yuxuan saw that the little girl was going to pretend to be a radish essence in public again, so she couldn't help but want to laugh. She pursed her lips to hold back her laugh, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Little Chizi, I'm thirsty." After she finished speaking, she handed out a dime Suiyin handed it to Longchi and said, "I have tea here, you go to the tea house in the town to buy some pastries, then go to Hulujing to fetch water for making tea, and keep the rest of the silver for pocket money."

Long Chi didn't dare to answer, turned his head to look at Master, and asked, "Master, am I going?"

Santu Taoist nodded expressionlessly, and ordered: "By the way, go to Bamenfang for a stroll."

Longchi responded, took the silver and jumped down the mountain peak, tiptoeing to the ground, and ran away like a gust of wind.

Because of Longchi's fast pace, he usually avoids the villagers and goes through the trails in the crop fields or through the woods when he is on his way.After she descended the mountain, she walked through a cornfield that was as tall as a person. As soon as she came to the main road leading to the town, she saw dozens of people running past in front of her, heading towards Bamenzhai.

These people carried machetes on their backs and wore black short jackets. Although they ran extremely fast, their pace and speed were very even, and the distance between the front and rear was consistent, and they looked very neat.

There is a meeting every three days in the town. As long as she is not working, she will go to the town.If Mr. Li Tang had no business, he would shake his feather fan and give comments to passers-by.Those who can make Mr. Li Tang comment are all famous people who have traveled far and wide.Thanks to Mr. Li Tang's blessing, she has learned a lot, but this is the first time she has seen such a group of people.

Long Chi went to the town, first went to the teahouse to buy pastries, wrapped them in oiled paper, and then took the pastries to Bamenfang for a stroll.

Bamenfang is the site of Bamenzhai. There are pawnshops, gambling halls, brothels, restaurants, inns, weapon shops, grocery stores, etc., and basically everything except the daily food and use of the villagers can be found here. Most of the peddlers here also come in and out to buy things.Occasionally, some people who were robbed of the ship broke into Bamenfang.

The person who manages Bamenfang is a general manager under Bamianlongwang, who is known as the smiling Buddha.He is fat and round, full of fat, laughing and laughing, especially like the big-bellied Arhat enshrined in the temple.The difference between him and Arhat is that what Arhat holds is a Buddhist bead, while his hand is a skull bead.There are 81 skull beads the size of a baby's fist.

She heard from Mr. Li Tang that the skull beads in the hands of the smiling Buddha are made of baby skulls.Take the baby born in the cloudy year and the moon, the soul of the baby is locked in the skeleton, and it becomes a ghost baby.The skeletons were their skulls. During the refining process, the skulls continued to shrink until they were as big as a fist.

She thought that the smiling Buddha must have returned to Bamenzhai after such a big event happened in Bamenzhai, but she didn't expect to meet the smiling Buddha just after entering Bamenzhai.

Surrounded by people, the Laughing Buddha came out of the restaurant. When he saw her, he laughed and called out, "Little Chizi, are you here to hang out again?"

Longchi and the Laughing Buddha have also known each other for a long time.The water bandits in Bamen Village encountered resistance when they hijacked the ship, and they often suffered casualties. The corpses floated downstream to the corpse beach and were picked up by her.People from Bamenzhai often came to her to claim the corpses.Even the evil water bandits had already paid the price with their lives. She still had to find a place to dig a pit to bury her body, and she simply asked the people in Bamenzhai or their relatives and friends to take it back for a good burial.Bamenzhai accepted her love and made an agreement with their masters and apprentices. With the boundary stone in the lower reaches of Bamenzhai as the boundary, the upper part is the boundary of Bamenzhai, and the lower part is the boundary of their master and apprentice. Bamenzhai cannot Come to the boundary of their master and apprentice to rob the ship. As long as the boat passes the boundary stone, it will be safe.

Long Chi replied, "Yes." She walked up to the Laughing Buddha and said, "Many people died in Bamen Village, and many broken boats floated down the river. I can't enter Bamen Village. Just come here to have a look."

The Laughing Buddha said with a smile, "You are straightforward."

Long Chi said: "Lord Buddha, I'm asking you..." Her eyes rolled, her face was full of curiosity and she hesitated to speak.

The Laughing Buddha was still smiling, he pointed to Longchi, and said, "What is there to inquire about?" He smiled more kindly, and said, "This time, I have to trouble you again. In this way, the deal will be done." , how about we take a break and let you have some free time?"

Longchi smiled as kindly as the Laughing Buddha, but he was thinking in his heart: "So many of you have died, you must rest and recruit troops to replenish your population!" She said, "I know most of the people who come and go in the town. , but I saw a group of people today, dozens of them, and it was the first time I saw them." She added: "He went to Bamenzhai." Laughing Buddha.

The smiling Buddha looked at Longchi with a half-smile, and said in a three-point warning and seven-point joking tone: "It's not good to be too curious."

Longchi's face was full of sincerity, "If they also float down the river, I must know who I fished." While she was speaking, she caught a glimpse of the expressions and eyes of the men beside the smiling Buddha.She knew what they were thinking, and on the one hand she felt unlucky, on the other hand, she thought that one day they would be lucky enough to be worthless, and they would be picked up by her so that they could be buried properly.

The face of the Laughing Buddha was full of fat, and his eyes were squeezed into slits. His eyes were shining brightly, but his face was still kind, and he said, "When it's time to know, you will know it naturally."

Longchi let out a sigh, and put on an expression that was no big deal, and said, "Isn't it just the help you brought in, to get a share of the pie." She said, "Their skills are much stronger than your subordinates, and they are also more well-trained. There are only a handful of people who can meddle in the business of Bamenzhai, dare to rob seven buildings, and dispatch so many masters at once." She tilted her head, looked at the smiling Buddha with a playful face, and said, "You too I know, I like good people to stick to their end.” After speaking, he waved his little hand, and went bouncingly into Bamenfang.

A subordinate beside the Laughing Buddha shouted in a low voice: "Lord Buddha."

They have always been as polite as possible to the little girl Shi Tanzi.They have been making a living by licking blood at the edge of a knife all year round. If they don't keep it together, they will disappear one day.If you are lucky, if you die on the boat, you can be brought back by your brothers. If you are unlucky, if you die in the water, you have to ask the little girl to come.If the corpse doesn't float up, ask her to look for it in the ditch full of wandering corpses.With a radius of hundreds of miles, no one is more familiar with the corpse ditch than her. If they send people down by themselves, nine out of ten will be hard to get back.If the corpse floated on the river, the little girl would pick it up easily.Her aunt was in a good mood, so she found a cool place to put it, pulled a straw mat to cover it, and sprinkled insect repellent on it. When they went to identify the corpse, they could basically take the whole body back for a proper burial.If she is in a bad mood, she can help you cross over, and then throw the body under the sun to expose it to the sun. When someone finds it, it will be a pile of rotten meat full of maggots.The soul is gone, and the corpse is so rotten that even if it is taken back, it will only be burned to ashes by a fire.

In the past, a brother wanted to show her some color and make her obedient, but if she saw something wrong, she could run faster than a rabbit, and she was also quite tricky.She was young and small at that time, but she was dexterous and fast, so she was not easy to catch.She took out a sword and stabbed the person three times, and several brothers almost lost their descendants.She also ran to the town and yelled all over the town, saying that dozens of gentlemen in Bamenzhai bullied her and a child, and everyone knew about it.Bamenzhai is fearless in doing this kind of business, but he can't stand the humiliation.

The Laughing Buddha waved his hand, the subordinate understood, walked over a few steps, and coughed beside Longchi, leading Longchi to the corner.The subordinate said in a low voice: "This matter, it's not that our Buddha is unwilling to tell you, but that we can't say it."

Long Chi let out a sigh, and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, who cares."

The subordinate's voice was even lower, and he said mysteriously: "That group of people, even our Dazhai Lord, has to be polite, it's not something you can inquire about." He ran away in a hurry.

Long Chi snorted softly: "If you say it, it means you didn't say it."
