Chapter 283 Guangde Ancient Temple
Yang Shucheng saw the substitute and asked, "What are you doing?"
The substitute knew that Yang Shucheng recognized him, so he had to say: "I was deceived by Magistrate Huang to be his substitute. In fact, I didn't do any bad things."
Yang Shucheng looked at the two beautiful ladies on the horse and asked, "Why are they following you?"
The substitute hurriedly said: "They followed me voluntarily."
Yang Shucheng then said to the two women: "Are you being coerced by him? Just be bold and say, I can make the decision for you. I was the one who killed Magistrate Huang."
The two women were scared and lowered their heads, not daring to look at anyone, but now they said in unison: "No, no, we follow him voluntarily and live a peaceful life."
Yang Shucheng looked at them without any panic. Since he was willing, he couldn't stop them.
Yang Shucheng said to the substitute, "You should do your own thing and don't harm others, otherwise I won't be polite." Then he said to Wang Huaguo, "Let's leave quickly."
Wang Huaguo was in a hurry and didn't want to delay here. After hearing this, he stepped forward and took Yang Shucheng towards the northwest, leaving behind the three others.
When the substitute saw that Yang Shucheng and the others were far away, he hurriedly led the horse and headed west.
We have been walking on the road for several hours, and after walking twenty or thirty miles, we can already see Nizui Town.
They didn't dare to enter the town. They saw a big mountain on the left, which was Longzhong Mountain. The mountain was quite high, with dense trees and gushing streams.
In the middle of the forest, a temple popped up. At this time, I was tired from walking and a little hungry, so I decided to go into the temple to eat and rest for a while, and then continued on the road, as far away from Xiangyang City as possible.
Walking into the forest, we soon came to the temple. This is an ancient Guangde temple. There is a Duobao Pagoda inside, which towers into the clouds. It is an ancient relic in the temple and is famous far and near.
The substitute led the horse and walked into the temple. There were seven or eight monks in the temple. Seeing that there were visitors, they treated the guests generously, so they stayed in the temple to rest and eat.
When the monks in the temple saw the three men carrying a big baggage, they knew that the men had kidnapped the women and fled here.
These monks were greedy for the treasures in their bags. With a glance, everyone stepped forward, took steel knives, and chopped the three of them into pieces. Before he could dispose of the body, he opened the bag and snatched the gold, silver and jewelry inside.
Seven or eight monks grabbed these things, and they started to fight for more. Everyone wanted more, and no one wanted less. Naturally, the spoils were unevenly divided, so they started fighting, and both sides suffered losses.
A few days later, people from Nizui Town came to the temple to offer incense. They were so frightened when they saw corpses scattered on the ground that they hurriedly ran to Xiangyang City to report to the official.
An official from the city came to the ancient Guangde Temple. After conducting an on-site investigation, they found out that the person was harmed by greed for money. He buried the body and confiscated the property in the bag. Of course, some people also used it for personal gain, and some were greedy.
It can be seen that don't embezzle ill-gotten gains, otherwise it will harm yourself.
Poor Huang Junguo, who tried every possible means to become the prefect of Xiangyang for more than 20 years. He plotted day and night and stole countless gold, silver and jewels. As a result, his money was gone, and his life was gone. Where could he have any chance to enjoy it!
But it was said that Wang Huaguo took Yang Shucheng and ran north to the Han River, climbed onto the Laolong Embankment, and ran west along the river on the embankment.
This old dragon embankment is neatly repaired and planted with willows and peach trees. In spring, with green willows fluttering and peach blossoms blooming, it is quite a sight.
Wang Huaguo and Wang Huaguo had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery and ran all the way. After running for more than ten miles, I saw a mountain in front of me, running from south to west, until it reached the Han River, like a tiger.
It does not go to the river to drink water, but looks up towards the other side.
On the other side is the famous Jie Peizhu, which Yang Shucheng and Pi Guoshi had visited from Madame City.
Wang Huaguo said: "That family is right in front of Hutou Mountain."
When Wang Huaguo first arrived in Xiangyang, he didn't know why he got to know a family at the foot of Hutou Mountain, and now he was in a hurry to save them?
It turned out that Wang Huaguo and Wang Huixiu were living together in the Yanghu Temple. Wang Huixiu was very busy recruiting White Lotus followers to rescue her husband Chen Haitao every day.
Wang Huaguo was very leisurely in the temple. At first, he was honest and sat in the temple, waiting for Yang Shucheng's arrival.
But after waiting for a few days, Yang Shucheng had not come back yet. How could he, a nearly twenty-year-old boy, stay still? He was very restless and wanted to go shopping around.
He told Wang Huixiu that Yang Shucheng had saved her life. Now another person went to the city to save her husband. She was not familiar with them. Now that Wang Huaguo was going out to play, she didn't think much about it. He nodded in agreement.
Seeing that he was penniless, he took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Wang Huaguo.
Wang Huaguo was not polite and went out with a few taels of silver in his arms.
It was his first time to come to Xiangyang, and he was not familiar with it. He didn’t know where to find fun, and he didn’t go up the mountain. He just came from Songshan Mountain and was not interested in wandering in the mountains, so he walked towards Xiangyang City step by step. .
He walked to the city gate and saw four soldiers checking for spies at the gate. He wanted to sneak in and look for Yang Shucheng, but he was afraid of meeting Cao Fengying and Cheng Tuding. Then, without Yang Shucheng's protection, he would be captured by them again. If you force me to ask about the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra", I will definitely not tell it, and I will be beaten again.
He had been beaten several times, so he was afraid of being beaten, so he had to leave the city gate, walk to the Han River, and go up to Laolong Embankment.
Standing on the embankment, looking at the Han River, the waves are rushing downstream.
He walked westward along the Han River. Not far away, there was a row of houses under the embankment, and the smell of food wafted in the distance.
It turns out that there are many ships carrying goods from the Han River up to Yunyang and down to Wuchang, and there are also many boatmen. Their families are poor and they dare not go to Xiangyang City to spend money. When they come outside Xiangyang City, they come to this area. Take a break and eat.
When Wang Huaguo walked here, there were seven or eight small restaurants open along the river. Because they were facing the boatmen, there were no high-end meals. They just used some beef offal to make soup and served it with some steamed buns.
Wang Huaguo was also tired from walking and hungry, so he walked to a house and ordered a large bowl of beef offal and two steamed buns, and started eating.
He had some spare money given to him by Wang Huixiu. After eating, he paid and continued walking forward.
After walking for a long distance, I saw another row of houses by the river. Most of them were thatched and bamboo houses, with some willows and bamboo shoots, which looked quite elegant.
Wang Huaguo stood on the river embankment and looked towards the row of houses.
At this time, the fence door of one of the houses opened, and a naughty woman came out.
When Wang Huaguo saw him, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned his eyes away.
The woman saw it and shouted towards the embankment: "Little brother, come down."
When Wang Huaguo saw people calling him, he couldn't be stingy anymore, so he followed the people's calls and walked down the river embankment step by step.
Walking to the fence gate, the woman asked: "Little brother, you are here, why don't you come in?"
Wang Huaguo looked at the woman who was speaking and was startled.
It turns out that this woman is indeed a slender woman when viewed from a distance on the embankment. But now when she gets closer, she is an elderly woman.
She put on a thick layer of white powder and bright red lipstick. Her teeth were as yellow as egg white, like a tiger with its mouth open, ready to eat people.
Wang Huaguo blushed and turned around to walk away. The woman stepped forward, grabbed the Rafflesia fruit, and pulled it towards the fence door. Wang Huaguo was pulled hard by the woman, unable to break free, and was quickly pulled into the courtyard.
