Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 141 Refreshing
Li Lijun seriously suspects that the giant snake in Liujiazhuang is the one he killed in Saga Mountain.

At that time, the giant snake once questioned the toad, why did it eat the people on its territory?Toad didn't take it seriously at all, and told it to eat a few people at the foot of the mountain as compensation.At that time, the toad said that the giant snake could be allowed to eat four people, which would be double, and the giant snake took advantage.

It can be seen that the toad ate two people on the giant snake's territory, and it happened to be the same number as the missing official's son and oiran.

Liu Dalang bought living people from outside to worship the giant snake. It is estimated that the giant snake thought that the children of officials and court officials from outside were also its offerings.It is used to eating people, but there are no rumors of giant snakes eating people around. It turned out that it was because someone specially enshrined it and prepared offerings for it.

The giant snake went to Mount Saga to find Toad to settle the score, but died in the hands of Li Lijun, so naturally he could not return to Liujiazhuang.Without this backer, Liu Dalang couldn't prove that he was not a murderer, so he was imprisoned.

It's just... who was the one who rescued Liu Dalang in Liujiazhuang?
Although the county magistrate insisted that there were "people" who rescued the prisoner Liu Dalang, and refused to believe the latter's claim that "demon snakes eat people", but there were so many of them there at that time, a normal person could throw two officials away with a gust of wind , Take away Liu Dalang they escorted?Even a master of martial arts, at least he will show his figure, right?If you are a practitioner, it is not impossible to do this, but why should the practitioner save Liu Dalang, a dandy who has corrupt morals and does not take human life seriously?
Li Lijun suspects that besides the giant snake, there may be other monsters in Liujiazhuang.It's just that I don't know what the origin of the monster is, and what is the relationship with the giant snake?Will it be traced to Mount Saga?

Due to all the mistakes, Liujiazhuang has now become the property in her hands.If she doesn't want her own interests to be damaged, sooner or later she will wipe out all the unfavorable factors in the village.It seemed that she had to find time to go around the village to see if she could find the giant snake's lair and its accomplices.

As for Liu Dalang, she thought that he was already in danger.Anyway, he is not a good person, and Li Lijun has no need to sympathize with him.

This night, Li Lijun was a little restless.She thought about it carefully, how to find out the situation in Liujiazhuang?How to deal with that unknown monster?The weapon in his hand is still a bit worse.Although she has a lot of good things in her storage compartment, with her current cultivation level, there are not many that she can use freely.She needs to strengthen her strength and increase her bargaining chips, so that she can be sure to solve the matter quickly and low-key.

In the middle of the night, she quietly released two little black cranes, flying in the direction of Liujiazhuang in Jingyang.She had already observed the nearby terrain from the air with a drone, so she probably knew where Liujiazhuang was located.Perhaps within a day or two, she will not be able to determine what is causing trouble in Liujiazhuang.But as long as her little black crane is there, any monsters will be found by her once they show up, and they will never escape from her palm!

The practice in the early morning of the next day allowed Li Lijun to recover quickly, and the dark circles under the eyes that were slightly showing signs of disappearing quickly disappeared.Li Shen, who came to accompany her for breakfast, didn't notice anything wrong at all.The uncles and nephews quickly consumed the food, got off the boat, boarded a cart or rode a horse, and followed the funeral procession to Sanyuan.

From Jingyang to Sanyuan, it is only thirty or forty miles away, which can be covered in one day.They set off early in the morning, without delay on the road, and finally arrived at their destination, Qingliang Temple, located north of Luqiao Town, Sanyuan County, before the sun went down.

Qingliang Temple is built on the mountain, with a grand scale, and it is a famous temple within a radius of tens of miles, and its incense is at its peak.Not only local believers often come to offer incense, but even Xianyang and even Chang'an City, people come here from time to time.It is said that the former residence of Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, is in Luqiao Town, and there is also a temple dedicated to him locally.Li Lijun may not know much about it, but the two mothers Cui and Lu, as well as Mrs. Shao, and the uncle Li Shen who lives next door, are quite familiar with Luqiao Town and Qingliang Temple, and they can tell all kinds of things related to them. Rumors and allusions come.

It seems that the King of Sui didn't choose a temple randomly as a place for his daughter-in-law's remains.

Li Lijun saw that Qingliang Temple had specially vacated a quiet side hall for Chen's coffin. Chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, Chen was also quite satisfied.

She specially thanked Sima of Sui Palace.After all, these ceremonies were all arranged by the other party.Even if the other party's attitude is a bit arrogant, as long as he doesn't neglect Chen's heir concubine, Li Lijun will not take other matters to heart.

Chen's coffin is temporarily placed in Qingliang Temple.Li Lijun left behind two family members, who are responsible for going to the temple every day to take care of various affairs inside and outside the side hall, as well as offering incense in front of Chen's spiritual tablet.It's not that she can't trust the monks in Qingliang Temple, and it's not that there is no one in her own family, so why should she leave her mother to outsiders to take care of?

Qingliang Temple is actually only ten or twenty miles away from Saga Mountain. It takes only a short ride on horseback, and it takes less than half a day by car. It is quite convenient to go back and forth.Li Lijun was thinking, he could spend more time with his mother in his spare time, or let the two nuns come to visit.But more importantly, the cemetery at the west foot of Saga Mountain must be completed as soon as possible, so that the mother can be buried in the earth as soon as possible.

Although it was quite close to Saga Mountain, it was getting dark, and Li Shen didn't want to travel at night, so he persuaded Sima of the Sui Palace to stay temporarily outside Qingliang Temple.

There are many cave dwellings at the foot of Qingliangsi Mountain, where pilgrims from other places can live.The interior layout of the cave dwelling is simple, but cleaned fairly cleanly.The two nuns inspected critically, and then led people to clean up the largest and best room among them, and gave it to Li Lijun to live in.

Li Lijun lived in the cave at night, but felt that the mountain was quite cold, and the temperature seemed to be several degrees lower than outside.In contrast, Saga Bieye is just a bit more windy.

She looked up at the top of the cave dwelling, and felt that this kind of construction was quite economical in materials.In a place like Guanzhong where loess terraces are everywhere, cave dwellings may be more cost-effective than brick houses.It is only necessary to ensure that the soil in the kiln will not fall off, and the roof of the kiln will not collapse. It can be said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, but the lighting is not very good.

Li Lijun is wondering if he needs to dig a few cave dwellings on Saga Mountain to add houses for people to live in?At this time, Li Shen's voice was heard from outside: "Is Li Niang asleep? It's just right that she didn't sleep. Please come out, I have something important to discuss with her."

Li Lijun put on his cloak and went out. Seeing Li Shen's sullen expression, he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Shen, what's wrong?"

Li Shen said: "Li Niang, the Zhuangzi that the Lin family gave you is right next to the Zhuangzi that gave me. I want a bigger Zhuangzi. Can you sell me your Zhuangzi? I will pay the market price." Paying money will not make you suffer."

Li Lijun raised his eyebrows: "Why did Uncle Shen mention this all of a sudden? I haven't heard that you want to buy my Zhuangzi before."

Li Shen only said: "Anyway, you just sell Zhuangzi to me. You are a child, and you have a lot of money in your hands, so it's better to collect it. If there are too many fields, you Aye will just ask for the things. You can’t say you’ve suffered a loss. Instead of keeping the farm, you might as well sell it to me. Anyway, I have money in my hand, so I won’t make you suffer.”

He has said this twice, and he just said the day before yesterday that it is too much for the two families to withdraw money.

Li Lijun thought for a while, and already guessed the reason why he did this: "Uncle Shen, have you heard that there are monsters eating people in Liujiazhuang? Are you afraid that I will be in danger, so you want to buy my farm?"
