Chapter 243
As the name suggests, Gao Tianzhang is more than ten feet long, standing in front of Feng Zigui, who is no more than four feet tall, regardless of others, he firmly has the upper hand in terms of momentum.

Feng Zigui raised his head with difficulty, his ugly face full of galls was full of astonishment, as if he couldn't figure out why the mountain spirits were still speaking rudely to the Dao City God just a moment ago, and how they turned into Gao Tianzhang to attack him in a blink of an eye.

This wood-spirited wind monster who said in Fuda's mouth that "three sticks can't make a fart" has been moaning for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word, so he turned his eyes for help to Daocheng God who was sitting not far away.

In fact, it's not just the Fengzi ghost who is watching the Dao City God, the golden bottle boy who is born on the top is also closely watching every move of the Dao City God. The pair of ferocious vertical eyes glared viciously at the host of tonight's banquet.

The same is true of Gao Tianzhang, who has many eyes and ears. He used one face to intimidate Fengzi ghost, and the other three faces and six eyes were not idle. Even the two tables of Qi Jingzhi and Dead Man's Clothes are also under its surveillance.

Qi Jingzhi watched with cold eyes, how can he not see the key point?
Gao Tianzhang's sudden attack on the Fengzi ghost is clearly the three mountain spirits throwing stones to ask for directions, intending to test the reality of the lineage of the road gods, and also want to see the position of all the guests.

Under the eyes of everyone, Dao City God's face sank like water, and he was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said: "The lineage of the God of Road is the buffer between the Daqi court and the Meizhou Mountain Spirit. It's really just suicide."

Seeing that the Dao City God seemed to have given up, Jin Ping Hai laughed: "In the eyes of the court, how much stronger are you Dao Jing road monsters than me and other mountain spirits?"

"I don't care about other people. Since the lineage of the road god is useless, then obediently give up the road in Baqiu Town! The people in the town have my protection, and there will never be anything like Sakabi hurting people again. I can't say it." The Jin Ping child also has a taste of the incense of the human race!"

There was also a greedy smile on the face of the vertical-eyed woman, and she said sharply: "My old wife is enough to have Xiashan, and there is no need to increase the land, but it's just... Lu Shen's lineage must give my wife a monthly filial piety. Thousand catties!"

As it spoke, it stretched out its hand and pointed at Lishan Guangye beside him: "If it's like him, one catty of meat can be worth two catties!"

"No way!"

Before Daochenghuang could answer, Lishan Guangye shook his head like a rattle: "One thousand catties is too much! So many people are missing every month, it will definitely attract the investigation and even encirclement of the Town Demon Institute, which is not worth the loss. .If you stick to me, five hundred catties will hold you up to the sky!"

He paused, stretched out his hand and patted his rosy and plump face, and expressed dissatisfaction in his tone: "It's not easy for poor people to have enough to eat. How can the meat of this young master compare with the fatness of this young master? One catty of young master's meat... At least it is worth ten catties of others!"

The vertical-eyed woman was startled when she heard the words, she never thought that this little fat man was so delicious, but he was crazy, and wanted to argue with him about the price of meat.

Gao Tianzhang, however, smelled something different from Lishan Guangye's abnormal behavior, and immediately became alert.

It immediately stretched out a palm towards Fengzi ghost: "Fengzi ghost, although you made some mistakes before, you are still considered to be a mountain spirit, and you deserve to die for your crime. How about this, I heard that you have conceived a few galls over the years. Zun, it looks like it's almost ripe, so let's hand it over as an apology!"

"Gall bottle?"

Lishan Guangye's two round eyes were shining brightly, and he said with great interest: "The ghost of Fengzi in the mountain village, the god of Shilang in Jiangmiao. A thousand urn gardens, a glass of wine."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that this gall bottle is the essence of the maple ghost. It can increase the smell of alcohol and stimulate the aroma of wine. Drinking it often can prolong your life. It is not easy for this coward to breed gall bottles, and now I am forced to pay them all. It's like cutting flesh and bones, even if you don't die, you will lose half your life!"

Hearing this, Feng Zigui's whole body trembled, and tears burst out of his eyes first, and his face, which was not quite human, became more and more distorted.

Seeing that only Lishan Guangye said a few innocuous words, and none of the guests stood up to stop him, Mr. Gao Tianzhang took the initiative without hesitation, and pressed the largest gall on Fengzigui's bald head, like a blade His sharp nails plucked out the gall immediately.

Many eyes gathered, and saw that a big hole had appeared on the top of Feng Zigui's head, and thick amber juice sprayed out, falling all over his head, and at the same time, a faint frankincense wafted out.

In Gao Tianzhang's palm, there was a strange-shaped object.

It peeled off the dead skin on the outside of the object neatly, revealing a strangely shaped and natural wood-carved wine glass inside.

The Fengzi ghost stared blankly, until Gao Tianzhang handed the gall bottle to the Jin Ping Boy, and it finally let out a heartbroken scream.

However, the screams only started, and the two large galls on the back of Fengzigui's neck were dug out by Gao Tianzhang one after another.

"enough!"

Seeing that Gao Tianzhang refused to give up, and stretched out his hand towards Fengzi ghost's heart, the Daocheng God, who had been indifferent all this time, finally said: "The gall bottle is of no use to the mountain spirits that have become climates. You have already shared one, don't bother Insatiable greed, let alone killing them all."

"Dao Chenghuang personally interceded, I naturally want to save face, so I will spare this guy." Gao Tianzhang stopped his hand in a very eloquent manner.

It looked at all directions, and even turned its face to Cheng Deqi behind the counter. The shopkeeper Cheng trembled in fright, and almost fell off the wooden stool.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Gao Tian said slowly: "It's such a 'thousands of embroidered gardens, a drink of wine in gall bottles'. Now that there are gall bottles, the only thing missing is good wine. Being the shopkeeper, it seems You just happen to be a wine jar, right?"

The smile on Cheng Deqi's face was uglier than crying. He pointed to the wine jars that were served with the dishes before, and his voice was trembling: "These are old wines that have been cellared for many years in our store. They are the most sweet and mellow. In the past, when traveling, there was always a smell of fragrance and resting horses, which is also the origin of the name of Xie Ma Zhan."

Gao Tianzhang shook his head: "It doesn't matter what kind of wine, after drinking it for so many years, I'm already tired of it."

"I heard that shopkeeper Cheng is the best wine in his life. He often hates that his stomach is not full of wine. Every time he drinks three shi, he is not half full. He has to drink five shi and fill his stomach with good wine, so that he can be at peace and happy, even singing wildly. Dance, joy endless."

"That much Xie Ma old wine has entered your stomach. After years of refining, it must have become alcohol. As the saying goes, it is better to enjoy the music alone than to enjoy it together. The shopkeeper Cheng should also take it out and share it with us."

Gao Tianzhang paused, and his tone became more serious: "Fengzigui's fate is in sight, shopkeeper Cheng, please don't let me do it myself. My strikes are never serious, but bumps and bumps are inevitable."

Cheng Deqi was born in pitch black, and there would be no changes in his complexion such as red face and white face, but he was obviously terrified. The wooden stool under his feet shook violently, and the stool legs quickly hit the floor tiles, making a rattling noise. The continuous and crisp sound.

It has a mournful face, it doesn't know whether it's fear or hatred, and even its teeth are chattering: "Cheng's existence today is all due to the kindness of nature. Alcohol is a rare treasure. Cheng's virtue is shallow and blessed, how dare he enjoy it alone? "

"That's right! Shopkeeper Cheng can have this insight, it can be said to be right!"

Gao Tianzhang gave a compliment, as if he had thought of something, he actually stuffed the gall bottle that belonged to him back into Feng Zigui's hands.

It pointed at the amber juice flowing down from the top of the maple ghost's head and neck, and laughed like a ghost crying: "These are maple gums, right? It is said that it can be used as incense and medicine, which can promote blood circulation, relieve pain, detoxify and strengthen muscles, but I don’t know what it would be like to put it in wine and drink it. Speaking of which, this maple balm is also the essence of your body, so it must not be wasted easily.”

Now that the matter has come to this point, Feng Zigui has no choice but to accept his fate.

It inserted the gall bottle into the big hole on the top of its head, gritted its teeth and endured the pain, and scooped out half a cup of maple balm, and the frankincense in the lobby of Xiema Inn became more and more intense.

Seeing this, Dao Chenghuang sighed, shook his head and said: "Why is this! This hall is all my generation, so why bother?"

It pointed at Gao Tianzhang's seat: "Please return to your seat, if there is no more seats, the day will be bright."

Mr. Gao Tianzhang always listened to persuasion, and felt that the purpose of gaining power and probing had been achieved, so he immediately snatched back the gall bottle containing sweetgum balsam, and then sat down as good as he could.

But it didn't forget the alcohol in Cheng Deqi's stomach, and set aside a pair of eyes to wait for the poor shopkeeper.

Daochenghuang, as if nothing had happened, picked up the previous conversation very naturally: "Now that the two pairs of black and white road gods have disappeared for no reason. Under the changing circumstances, the three of you want to renew the contract with the road gods. This is a matter of course. However, before that, we still have to help each other, otherwise such a tragic disaster may not fall on the heads of the three, and it will be too late to regret."

Seeing that it was showing weakness, the other two mountain spirits were no longer aggressive, and Jin Ping Hai'er stretched out a finger to point Li Shan Guangye and Qi Jingzhi one by one: "Since we are discussing such a big matter, how can we treat irrelevant people like this?" Let it in? I've never seen these two unfamiliar faces before, they're nothing but comrades!"

Li Shan Guangye gave up when he heard this, pointed to his nose and said, "Why are you not the same way? Some people look at me as a stranger, but I look at them with a kind face!"

"Let's just say you are a golden bottle child. Judging from your breath and appearance, you should be a rainbow spirit in the mountain stream, but you have the blood of the human race on your body, so you should be half human and half demon. One of your parents is a rainbow spirit, and the other It is the human race."

Hearing this, Jin Ping Haier's face immediately changed, and the eyes on the top of his head were even more fierce.

Looking at its appearance, all the guests knew that what Lishan Guangye said was true, and all of them were surprised, even Gao Tianzhangren and Shuyanpo were no exception.

Lishan Guangye smiled triumphantly: "The rainbow man is also the emperor's bow. The special arrow stele in Meizhou is often engraved with the eight-character inscription 'the bow is broken, and the arrow comes to the stele'. It is natural restraint for you. No wonder the road god is now If you are weak, you will be so arrogant."

"Just now, when you heard that the two pairs of black and white road gods might have been killed, you immediately threatened to redefine the scope of the territory. You clearly took the two comrades, Gao Tianzhangren and Shuyan Po, as arrows on the string, which is a bit inappropriate. kind."

Li Shan Guangye provoked so blatantly, although Jin Ping Hai'er's face was cloudy and uncertain, but he didn't refute even a word, because facing such harsh words, it's not enough to just deny it outright.

"Jin Ping child, I heard that your old mother lived in the town of Baqiu and mixed with the cross-eyed people. I felt strange in my heart, but you insisted on not allowing me to visit you several times. It turns out that because this!"

The vertical-eyed woman looked at Jin Ping'er up and down with scorching eyes, without concealing her covetousness: "The old mother who is regarded as your life by you is actually a pervert! Even half of you are a pervert!"

Hearing this, Jin Ping Boy was furious: "You old man, don't you want to die?"

Li Shan Guangye quickly interrupted with a wave of his hand, and smiled treacherously: "You two are old friends, how can you turn your back on me just because of a few words about my face?"

He suppressed his smile, and suddenly said to Gao Tianzhang, "If I guessed right, your real name should not be Gao Tianzhang..."

Gao Tianzhang immediately sneered: "The name is for people to call me, and when others call me Gao Tianzhang, I agree that this Gao Tianzhang is my real name."

Lishan Guangye didn't answer, and turned to look at Dao Chenghuang: "Dare to ask Chenghuang, why is there a custom of erecting a stele to block arrows here in Meizhou?"

Dao Chenghuang took a deep look at this chubby young man. Although he didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, he replied without hesitation: "Most people in Meizhou believe in the theory of fortune-telling, and attribute all the disasters and catastrophes in their lives to Guan. As soon as you encounter setbacks, you must try to overcome the evil spirits, and among them, the evil spirits that children may encounter are the most numerous and attract the most attention."

"As the saying goes, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. People in the world value children very much, but children are difficult to support. If you want to truly survive and grow up, you need to pass 36 levels and get rid of 72 evil spirits. Among them, the general evil spirit is the most taboo level. Sha, it is easy to cause children to die young."

"This general evil is also known as the general arrow. Its verse says: Youxu Chen is not prosperous in spring, and it is dead in summer when it is not Maozi. It is taboo in autumn when Yin Wu is ugly, and it is disaster in winter Hai Shensi. One arrow wounds and dies at the age of three. Two arrows must be taught to die at the age of six. Three arrows are hard to live at the age of nine, and four arrows are dead at the age of 12."

When Dao Chenghuang said this, all the guests were still confused, but Gao Tianzhang's breath suddenly became a little unstable.

If only Gao Tianzhang was alone, Dao City God would not be afraid. Seeing this, he just glanced at him and continued: "Because of this reason, once a child in Meizhou is found to have committed the crime of General Sha, his parents will seek out monks, Taoists, and witches to wish him well." The older generation used methods such as talismans and doubles, among which erecting steles to block arrows is the most common."

"In the beginning, the arrows blocked by the arrow-blocking stele were specific to the general's evil spirit, but over time, as the method of erecting steles to avoid evil spirits became popular, the arrow-blocking stele became wider and wider, able to block any evil spirit, and a special There are all kinds of people erecting monuments to seek longevity and wealth."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected: "The people's demands are so mixed, it's no wonder that the black and white road gods can't distinguish between good and evil, and even deliberately lead people astray."

Dao Chenghuang was startled, and was about to speak, but Li Shan Guangye preempted him.

The chubby boy cupped his hands towards Qi Jingzhi, and exclaimed: "Brother, you really hit the nail on the head!"

"Since ancient times, people's hearts have been the most unpredictable. The black and white road gods are not officially appointed by the imperial court, but are born by the thoughts of the world. Naturally, they will keep changing with the hearts of the world. Whether it is good or evil is not completely free."

"Although the local government and the Town Demon Academy knew about the harm of the road gods, they simply turned a blind eye to the turbulent public opinion. Unless the road gods in a certain place are really outrageous, they will take action to kill them. However, the old The monument is destroyed and a new monument is erected, but the root cannot be removed.”

Qi Jingzhi knew that Lishan Guangye intended to explain for himself, so he immediately nodded appreciatively: "I see."

Lishan Guangye smiled even wider, looked at Gao Tianzhang and said: "There are many children's grievances faintly entangled in you, and it is very likely that you are the general evil in Meizhou Mountain. If you really want to name yourself It should be General Gao Tian!"
