It was another morning, and a red sun rose from the east, reflecting half of the red morning glow.

In the small tea stall next to the official road, the guy was taking care of the merchants who were resting, and was selling the "Liang" flag on the side of the mouth. When he met a rich merchant, the guy would take out a two-foot-high stone statue and call it "General Liang". He saw that the "General Liang" was wearing a white robe and holding a paper fan, and was not angry and powerful, looking inviolable. He claimed that this was from the sword and axe of "Skillful Hand Liang". Moreover, the "General Liang" was very effective. Most of the villagers nearby no longer worshiped the monks of Kongjue Temple, but replaced it with "General Liang". As the saying goes, it cannot relieve the thirst in the distance. Things within a radius of 500 miles cannot be taken care of by "General Liang".

Under the patient "persuasion" of the friend, several villagers bought the stone statue one after another and took it back like a god.

Chu Qing, who was eating and drinking tea, saw it, frowned, and said, "Brother Feng, when did this Liang Zong become a god?"

Feng Shuzhu looked for a while before replying: "He is not already a god, but he wants to be a god."

Chu Qing curled her lips and said disdainfully: "If I hadn't seen him, I could have been fooled by these people."

Feng Shuzhu smiled, withdrew her gaze, looked at Chu Qing, and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Liang himself?"

Chu Qing frowned and thought for a moment, "Liang Zong, it looks pretty good, but there is a vague disgust."

Feng Shuzhu was stunned and said, "Disgusted?"

Chu Qing took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "It's just that I lack the kind of righteousness that Brother Feng gives people."

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Chu Qing and smiled and said, "Look, it's because he slapped you that way, you have prejudice against him."

Chu Qing put down her chopsticks and said angrily: "No, when am I so scrupulous?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Eat, eat, we have to go to the town after eating to see if there is a carriage to buy it."

When Chu Qing heard about buying a carriage, she turned angry and said, "Really?"

Feng Shuzhu turned her gaze to the guy who was still selling stone statues, nodded and said, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing quickly picked up the rice bowl and stepped on her mouth. She looked impatient. While eating, she secretly observed the people around her. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she picked up some food and put it in a cloth bag, obviously feeding the little fat bear.

The two of them were talking and talking in the corner of the stall. The customers in the store had left one after another. The guy still eloquently introduced the stone statue of "General Liang" to a customer, and had no time to care about anything else.

After Feng Shuzhu finished eating calmly, he threw down some broken silver. The two left the tea stall and walked towards the official road.

Less than a hundred steps after walking out, Feng Shuzhu stopped again, turned around and glanced at the tea stall, and suddenly said, "Why don't this guy sell me the order flags and stone statues?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing stopped, turned around and glanced at the clerk, and said, "I guess it's because we're poor."

Feng Shuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Do we look poorer than the porter?"

Chu Qing nodded while patting the little fat bear bag in the cloth bag, "Well, a scholar and a cardamom girl, what kind of life do you have?"

Feng Shuzhu heard this, nodded slightly and said, "Don't I look like a teacher?"

Chu Qing looked him up and down a few times, shook her head vigorously, and said, "It's not like, it's like an old boy who has been standing for a long time and has failed to get a chance to get a chance." After saying that, she couldn't help laughing.

Feng Shuzhu also smiled and said, "I am not Qiu Baiyi with a ill-fated fate. Two hundred years ago, I was already in the Tanhualang in high school."

Chu Qing was stunned and said, "Who is Qiu Baiyi?"

Feng Shuzhu hurriedly said, "Oh, it's Qiu Baiyi, the current head of Guiyun Temple. She failed the nine tests in the past and was transformed into an immortal by Guiyun."

Chu Qing opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "Ah, such a stupid person can still be the head of the sect."

Feng Shuzhu gave Chu Qing a blank look and said, "You can't talk nonsense. Zhen Xuanqing is highly respected. That is because he has no fate in his career and is destined to practice."

Chu Qing suddenly woke up and nodded and said, "Brother Feng, you said you had been captured in Tanhua two hundred years ago, and I was born then."

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Finish, I'm a little older than you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing glared at her eyes and said, "It's not that it's a little older, it's over two hundred years older. You have to start with me turning into a human form."

Feng Shuzhu smiled gently and said, "How to have such an algorithm."

Chu Qing thought for a while, pointed to the tea stall and said, "Take the pottery bowl we used to eat just now. The pottery bowl is made of clay. If the clay has been for thousands of years, then will the age of this pottery bowl be thousands of years old?"

Feng Shuzhu was stunned when she heard this, nodded and said, "Well, that's right. Qing'er is still a cardamom girl. How could she be a two hundred-year-old woman?" After saying that, she smiled brightly.

Chu Qing gave Feng Shuzhu a blank look and whispered: "This is almost the same."

The two continued walking, heading north, and the official road became wider. However, most of the people who came and went to hold a pennant flag with the character "liang" in their hands, as if they were going to a temple fair. Whenever they met someone who didn't hold a flag, some people would approach and whisper, "People from other places, buy a flag quickly and ensure safety."

Seeing this, Chu Qing frowned, and her expression of disgust was self-evident. On the other hand, Feng Shuzhu smiled and thanked her for her kind-hearted people.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, take a look, take a look, General Liang ordered the flag and the Dharma, first come first served." A rough shout came from the roadside ahead.

I saw a few thick men, each with a trolley, a pile of "Liang" flags, a stone statue of "General Liang" and a wood carving of "General Liang" were placed along the official road, shouting and selling to passers-by. These people were the porters who rested at the tea stall the day before yesterday.

Chu Qing suddenly burst out with a "pop" and her pretty face turned into a clear sun.

Feng Shuzhu said puzzledly: "Why is Qing'er happy again?"

Chu Qing pointed to the porters in front of her and said, "In the past, no one of the flags and statues of gods and saints were invited at the sacred place, but this 'General Liang' was shouted like a vegetable vendor in the market. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "It seems that our 'General Liang' is still not deeply rooted in people's hearts."

While talking, the two had already walked up to a man. The man looked at the two and stepped forward and said, "Two, foreigners, buy a banner of General Liang to ensure your safety."

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "Brother, how much silver does this flag cost?"

When the man heard that there was a chance in business, he immediately turned around and introduced: "This is a big one, three or three of this one, and the smallest one is only one or two."

Feng Shuzhu turned around and pointed and said, "Brother, is this much more expensive than the small tea stall we just passed by?"

The man glared at him and said, "How much does he sell?"

When several other men heard this, they also gathered around to ask how much they sold.

Feng Shuzhu glanced at everyone, picked up the medium-sized triangular "Ring" flag and said, "For this one, only 2 liang, you can get free tea."

The man turned around and shouted in a rough voice: "Brother, the Liang Mansion does not pay any credit, and I agreed to sell it for the same price."

The man, a year-old man pushed everyone away, walked up, squinted his eyes, glanced at Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing, stepped forward and bowed, "What do you call this young man? How do you look so familiar?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled heartily and said, "There are so many scholars in this official way, even the porter. This brother said I look familiar, and I think I remember it wrong." He pointed to the cart behind the man.

The old man was shocked when he heard this and quickly apologized: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I remembered it wrongly, I remembered it wrongly."

Feng Shuzhu took out some broken silver from the cuffs and said, "Although the small tea stall in front is cheaper, I have missed it, so I will buy this flag."

The man with a rough voice smiled and took the silver, stuffed it into his short shirt, bowed and said, "Thank you for taking care of the business, thank you, thank you."

Feng Shuzhu asked in a low voice, pretending to be ignorant, "But I don't know, will this flag work?"

The man looked around and saw that there was no one else, leaned over and whispered: "It's really okay to buy it. If you didn't buy it, it's really a disaster. Just spend money to avoid disasters and follow the customs."

Feng Shuzhu smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you, brother, for your reminder, follow the customs of the countryside."

The man also laughed, making a gesture of invitation and muttered: "Accompany the local customs, and follow the local customs."

Feng Shuzhu pulled Chu Qing, holding the "liang" flag in her hand, and walked a long way forward, but saw Chu Qing lowering her head and looking confused, and asked, "Qinger, what's wrong with me?"

Chu Qing frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It's not a big deal. Brother Feng knew that this flag was a guise of cheating people, so why did he buy it?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled and said, "When you use it, you will know naturally. Besides, we must follow the local customs, right?"

Chu Qing nodded and said, "Then you just lied to those porters and said that the small tea stall is cheaper than them, and what is the purpose of it?"

Feng Shuzhu laughed and said, "I want to test whether these people selling the banners are a group of people or someone else behind the scenes."

After hearing this, Chu Qing became even more confused and said, "How could that little tea stall and that group of porters be in the same group? Didn't the tea stall even cheat the porters and spend more money to buy the order flag?"

Feng Shuzhu looked at Chu Qing half seriously and said, "Qing'er, you remember, what you see and hear sometimes is not necessarily the truth."

Chu Qing seemed to be remembering carefully, nodding and said, "Oh." She asked again, "The elderly porter was very fierce at first. Later, when Brother Feng said that he had admitted his mistake, why did he change his smiley face?"

Feng Shuzhu smiled mysteriously and said, "This is the world. You don't understand, they understand." After saying that, he pointed ahead and said, "Qing'er, you see there is a street market ahead."

On the other hand, the porters watched Feng Shuzhu and his two men gradually disappeared. The man with a rough voice picked up a towel and wiped his sweat, fell onto the cart, and said, "Brother, is this man really a scholar? Why do you think of the habits of the world?"

The older man, squinted his eyes, looked at the direction where Feng Shuzhu had disappeared, and said, "We are rushing to the feet, there is no need to offend people with unknown backgrounds. When the masked man robbed, these two people were not far away. I saw it really, their expressions were like nothing happened."

Hearing the man who spoke in a rough voice, he opened his mouth wide, and thought for a while and said, "Can it be that he was shocked at that time."

The old man rolled his eyes, gave him a look, and said hatefully: "I am stunned by you! I was deceived by someone to confess it to Liang's mansion." After that, he shook his fists and walked back to his cart.

The man with a rough voice scratched his head, looked dull, chased him over and asked loudly, "Brother, when did I say that it was Liang's mansion instructing us..."

The elderly man quickly made an interrupting gesture, looked around at the people passing by on the official road, and whispered: "Go and sell your goods!"

It is said that Feng Shuzhu and Chu Qing walked to the market. It was already evening and the lights were on. The scale of this street was not as large as that of Luotian Town. There were only inns and restaurants on both sides of the street, which mostly provided food and accommodation for past business travelers. However, the difference at this time was that a big red lantern was hung at the doors of each merchant with the word "liang" written on it.

I chose an inn that looked pretty clean. The two of them had just stepped into the store and their heels were not yet firm. The shopkeeper, who was about 10 or 40, greeted him with a smile and bowed, "Two guests, don't you know if you are a top-notch or stay in a hotel?"

Feng Shuzhu looked inside and saw that there were no one in the store except for two customers who were lowering their heads to eat noodles. He looked back at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, why is the business so deserted today?"

The shopkeeper was stunned and then replied, "Young Master is intent, but you don't know that this street market is a temporary place for business travelers to take a break. Some time ago, the two-faced Buddhist and demonic path was launched, and later General Liang was released. Although there was a difference between the two, people from a foreign land couldn't help but be frightened when they heard about it, so the business has been deserted for many days."

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "I am not intimidated by it. We are also from a foreign land, but I don't know what the difference between the two in the shopkeeper's words is?"

The shopkeeper looked back at the two people who were eating noodles and whispered: "This double-faced Buddha has indeed harmed countless creatures for the demonic path. General Liang is actually the son of Minister Liang. Because of his achievements in eliminating demons, his influence gradually increased. I heard that he would build a "General's Mansion" recently. He bought all the horses and vehicles nearby to transport bricks, stones and wood."

Feng Shuzhu frowned and said in surprise: "General's Mansion?"

The shopkeeper nodded and whispered: "I heard it was built on the original site of the Double-Faced Buddha Temple. It seems to be larger in scale, but it is different from the previous Double-Faced Buddha's robbery. This young master Liang Zong has endless gold and silver. A horse can sell for 500 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said, his eyes shining brightly, and he stretched out five fingers and shook it in front of him.

Feng Shuzhu turned around and looked at Chu Qing, and smiled and said, "Qing'er, it seems that you can't buy your carriage here."

Chu Qing kept listening to the shopkeeper's words attentively. After Feng Shuzhu asked this, she came to her senses and pouted, "Then let's go forward. I don't believe that Liang Zong can buy the whole world."

Before Feng Shuzhu could answer, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "What this little girl said is true, but within a radius of 500 miles, there is indeed no carriage available. You just want to go forward and have to walk another two hundred miles before there is a small town. It's too late today. I think you should stay for one night. There are two top-notch rooms in this store. I wonder what you two want to think?"

Feng Shuzhu nodded and said, "Then stay for one night, wait for two rooms, and then make a table with a good banquet to send it to the room."
