[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

After leaving Lijia Village, they went to a nearby ferry to take a boat.

In winter, the river is not too turbulent. Even if it goes upstream, it will reach Chu in a few days.The boat was still driving in the river, suddenly Xu Hang noticed that the boat stopped, and it stopped for a while.So he came out of the cabin to see what was going on.

Yuzao had been on the deck a long time ago, and when she saw Xu Hang coming out, she waved to him.

After Xu Hang passed by, he saw a dragon hovering in the river in front of him, and the tail of the dragon stirred the river water to the sky.Xu Hang was surprised when he saw it, so he asked the boatman, "What is this dragon doing?"

The boatman said: "The Lord Dragon is diverting water to spread rain. It seems that there will be rain in these two days."

The appearance of the boatman seems to be familiar, probably such a thing of fetching water from a dragon should be very common here.

After a while, the dragon soared into the sky, and the vortex on the river ahead gradually subsided, and the boatman sailed again.

In the evening, they finally reached the pier.

As the boatman said, it rained heavily that night.

Xu Hang and the others opened an upper room in the inn. When they were at the counter, Xu Hang stopped by and asked: "I heard that there is a poisonous weed in the river here, which can kill you if you eat it. Be careful to eat it by mistake."

The shopkeeper said: "You are talking about water mang grass, but it is still January, the climate is too cold and it doesn't grow very much. This kind of grass usually blooms after three or four months in spring, so you don't have to worry about encountering it."

Xu Hang nodded to express his understanding. No wonder the river was very calm except for the dragon fetching water just now. It is probably because the water reckless ghosts are hiding to rest in winter.

Just as he was about to go to the room, another person came in from the inn.Hearing the sound, Xu Hang turned his head and looked back. The one who came in was a young man dressed in silk and satin, who looked very wealthy, but the other party looked a little depressed, Xu Hang didn't care, turned his head and walked up the stairs with Yuzao.

But Xu Hang didn't intend to have a chance with the other party, but this boy took the initiative to talk to them: "Are the two brothers also from other places?"

Seeing that the other party was talking to them, Xu Hang paused for a while, and responded politely.

Then he heard the man smile wryly and say: "Then you have to be careful. The waterways here are well developed and there are many businessmen coming and going. Some people make a living by defrauding others on this road. The local people call these liars swindlers. I didn't like it at first." Knowing the way here, now all the money has been cheated, and the servant who came with me has also been separated from me."

Xu Hang thought that the other party wanted to ask him for help, and when he was about to ask for details, Yu Zaoqian threw a silver coin from the stairs above him and landed right in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and Yuzao said coldly, "Give him a room, and the fee will be deducted from it."

Xu Hang saw that Yuzao had arranged before, so he didn't plan to go there, and then the two went upstairs directly.

After entering the room, as usual, after Xu Hang put down his things and changed his clothes, he began to meditate.

However, at night, the inn did not usher in the dead of night, on the contrary, it became more lively.

In the room next to Xu Hang, the sound of yelling and dice could be heard from time to time. Yuzao, who was a little bored and combing his tail hair, frowned, raised his hand, and cast a barrier to block the sound.

The room fell silent for an instant, until midnight, when suddenly someone knocked on the door outside.

Xu Hang opened his eyes and stopped his cultivation. Yu Zaoqian looked uneasy, seeing the people outside kicking the door and trying to force his way in, he raised his finger, the door was inserted and he went up to the stage, the door was opened all of a sudden, and several officials dressed up people come.

These officials came in aggressively, saying that they wanted to hunt down gamblers.

Xu Hang denied it directly: "The room next door is playing, and we didn't participate."

But the official came out with a man, it was the young man they met when they were staying in the store, the official said: "I heard that you gave him money as the principal, and asked him to share the bill with you after gambling."

Xu Hang and Yu Zao frowned when they heard the words before, and then the official didn't wait for them to react, he went directly to lift the quilt on the bed, and ordered them to open the luggage and check the amount of money.

At this time, Xu Hang and the others naturally sensed something was wrong, and Yu Zaoqian looked unkindly and said: "There is no reason to accuse the crime without evidence."

But he immediately thought of something, and suddenly turned into a sneer: "You can check it casually, if you can't find something today, you don't have to expect to be good today."

Seeing his arrogance, the officer murmured in his heart for a while, but he didn't stop searching.They quickly opened all their luggage and packages, but although there were a lot of things in the packages, there was no money, just some clothes and yellow paper.

The officials didn't believe it was like this, they poured out all the contents, and found that it was really worthless things.

Xu Hang watched their behavior coldly, and finally when the officials wanted to search them, he said, "Are you really from the government?"

The official took out his token and said, "What? Do you think we are fake?"

Yuzao said: "I think it looks like it. I still feel that you are slandering people out of thin air. Why don't you just go to the government."

The official said angrily: "It's wrong, it's wrong, detain them quickly."

Xu Hang had already determined that there was something wrong with these people, and when he saw that he was going to make a move, he simply shot first, and slapped it out with a single palm. People are gone.

Yuzao couldn't get used to it, and wanted to embarrass them, Xu Hang dissuaded him: "The situation is not clear, so don't make any extra troubles."

At this time, the young man who was taken over by the official sent hurried to them in shock, and said gratefully: "Thank you two benefactors for saving me again. I didn't identify you just now, it was the people in the same room who were on the first floor. Seeing that you gave me money, so I wanted to bring trouble to the east, and it is still because I have implicated the two of you."

Yu Zaoqian was not willing to give him a good look: "Oh, it's good that you know."

The boy's face turned red and then turned pale, Xu Hang asked strangely, "Don't you live alone in the room? Why do you have roommates?"

Seeing him asking, the young man hurriedly said: "When we opened the room just now, two more people came, and the inn didn't have enough rooms, so the shopkeeper suggested that we share the room. Unexpectedly, they gambled money in the middle of the night and lured all the guests from other rooms away. Come to gamble."

Then the young man took the opportunity to introduce himself. It turned out that his surname was Jin, and he was a son of an official family in a neighboring province.

"Now that I think about it, that group of people just now should be gang Nianyang. Seeing your expensive clothes, they wanted to blackmail you through me." The boy said.

"Ah."

Xu Hang responded without saying anything, so the young man surnamed Jin had no choice but to go back to his room awkwardly.

After he left, Yu Zaoqian sneered and said, "You still want to play tricks in front of me."

At this time, Xu Hang also saw that the boy had a problem, and he should be an Nianyang himself, but after thinking about it, he found that their situation was really linked together. If it weren't for their ability and knowledge, they might have just When the group of fake officials came in, they were already in chaos and fell into a trap.

"I think they haven't given up yet. When we check out tomorrow, we might meet again on the way." Yuzao predicted.

Xu Hang thought for a while, and suddenly wanted to see how much power these Nianyang had in the local area: "Then soldiers will come and cover them with water and soil, and see what they have."

Although the tricks of that group of Nianyang were not enough for a thousand-year-old fox like Yu Zaoqian, but suddenly he wanted to see how many tricks they could use, just as if they were just playing with them.

"Alright." Yuzao's eyes flickered, obviously interested.

When the two checked out the next day, they saw the boy again.

When the young man surnamed Jin saw them, he came over to greet them warmly, and then put on a embarrassed look, saying: "Well... I have an unfeeling request. I don't know where the two benefactors are going? I have a relative who is The county magistrate of the nearby county, there are too many tricks on this road, I really can’t handle it by myself, I hope someone can send me to my relatives.”

Yuzao raised an eyebrow at Xu Hang, her eyes probably said: Look, this group of Nianyang really didn't give up.

Xu Hangdao: "We are here to play, and there is no fixed place to go."

The young man was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly said: "If you can send me to my relatives, I will definitely thank you both when I arrive!"

Yuzao said to Xu Hang through voice transmission: He has worked so hard to perform, are you still not hooked?

Xu Hang looked at him helplessly, then turned around and said to the young man, "Okay."

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this.

Then they were going to rent horses. Xu Hang suddenly remembered that the painted horses he had accepted at the beginning were obviously more convenient than the ordinary horses that had to be fed and cared for, so he simply took them out.

The young man was very surprised to see that after he took out a scroll and opened it, a horse ran out of it.

Xu Hangdao: "It was originally a horse drawn by Zhao Ziang. Because the painting is so aura, it has a shape after a long time, and it can come out of the painting when it becomes a real horse."

Zhao Zi'ang was a great calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, and he was also good at painting. His authentic works are very rare and expensive today.

When the young man heard this, he looked at the horse with eager eyes.

This horse has become smart and intelligent, and when it came out, it immediately recognized that Yu Zaoqian was as difficult to mess with as Xu Hang, so it was very quiet and did not respond to the boy's overtures and compliments.

Seeing this, the boy had no choice but to go back to the horse he had rented.

After Xu Hang got on the horse, Yuzao sat up behind him, and then walked according to the place provided by the young man.
