Chapter 17 Granny Lang

The professionalism of the masons far exceeded Fang Dou's expectations.

The division of labor is clear. As the technical director, Peng Shijiang leads the team formed by the discipline, and each undertakes a part of the task.

Various professional tools that work twice the results for half the effort.

Soon, the renovation of the broken temple will be on track and run efficiently.

Fang Dou didn't bother, he walked to the open space next to him for cultivation.

Peng Shijiang and the others are not surprised, the world is not peaceful, and monks also need to practice martial arts for self-protection.

Not to mention, these masons are all strong, their hammers can smash stones, and it is not difficult to smash people's heads, so they can pick up jobs everywhere, and they are not afraid of Highway Robbery.

Since the introduction of 'Golden Rooster Pile', the daily cultivation has improved, the throughput of World's Essence Qi has increased, and the physique has been enhanced rapidly.

As for the dog spirit, there are many people with mixed eyes, and they don't show it.

The broken temple is so busy in a frenzy that it has become a small construction site, but there are uninvited guests in the county town.

Before the city gate, Guo San's bounty has been withdrawn, passersby are talking about it, and the fugitives were arrested yesterday.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are still checking passers-by, but they have relaxed a lot.

An old lady in floral clothes, with a bamboo basket on her right arm covered with floral fabric, walked to the city gate, "Master soldier, I want to enter the city!"

The old lady has kind eyes, every wrinkle on her face when she smiles, exudes a kind and peacefulness, making people think of the old mother and Old Ancestor at home.

The officers and soldiers are usually fierce, but their voices softened when they saw the old lady.

"What's in the basket?"

The old lady lifted the cloth and picked out an egg, "It's all home-grown eggs, the soldier will take a few and fry them. It's fragrant!"

"Forget it, you sold it yourself, and bought some oil and salt for your family!" city.

The old lady thanked her repeatedly and entered the county town with a basket of eggs.

If these officers and soldiers look closely, they will find that most of the eggs in the basket are empty, with only the outer shell, which can be blown away by the light breeze.

However, a small number of solid eggs, with the contents inside, might scare the soul flew away and scattered.

If you lift the egg and expose it to the strong sunlight, you can see that what is inside is not egg white and yolk, but a curled embryo, with hands, feet and healthy limbs, just like a human infant. .

No one knows that the old lady's name is 'Granny Lang', a well-known demon in the folk.

Granny Lang entered the city and looked at the dilapidated streets on both sides, "Guo San'er has been tossing so hard!"

When she saw the head of a fugitive who was executed on the archway at the street entrance , in the middle is Guo San's head, two eyes have long been dug out, staring blankly below.

"Good brother, big brother is here to pick you up!"

Even the other monsters in the rivers and lakes don't know that Granny Lang is a man, but she is just a boy and a girl, and she always dresses up as a kind person Old lady, kidnapping women and children everywhere.

His real name is Lang Qi, and he and Guo San are brothers. Both of them make a living by trafficking in human beings.

The difference is that Guo San gathers a gang of beggars and gathers a crowd to do evil, while Lang Qi has a powerful spell and usually works alone, and no one can bring him down.

This time Guo San was sentenced to beheading. Lang Qi was out of town. When he returned, he heard that Guo San failed to escape and was beheaded.

"Good brother, I will definitely avenge you!"

Lang Qi thought to himself that the human trafficking business in this county was blank after Guo San's death, and he had to find another helper. , to support him to replace Guo San.

Guo San's evil deeds can only make waves in this county, and the notoriety of 'Granny Lang' spreads across seven counties in the south of the Yangtze River. How many people hate him for gnashing teeth, but they don't even know his true face.

In the final analysis, Lang Qi is the black hand behind Guo San.

"hehe!"

Lang Qi chuckled lightly, with a hunched body, like a slow-footed Old Lady, walking on the street and unremarkable.

......

'"Old lady, are you out of eggs?"

When Lang Qi was out of the city, city gate officers and soldiers asked enthusiastically.

'Mr. Lang' shook her head in disappointment, "No one buys eggs!"

The officers and soldiers kindly comforted her, "The city just suffered a disaster, and the people are reluctant to buy them, you go this way Go, there should be business in the town over there!"

Lang Qi nodded, "many thanks, soldier!"

After he left, a riot broke out in the county town.

Guo San's head hanging on the archway was stolen under broad daylight, and everyone was watching, but no one could tell who did it.

In the city, thirteen young children disappeared and thirteen more distraught families.

The bamboo basket carried by Lang Qi was filled with thirteen eggs, and inside was still the shape of a curled human infant.

"Broken temple, Little Monk, interesting!"

Lang Qi sneered, walking down the country road with a bamboo basket on his back.

He learned from the people that Fang Dou was offering his head, but he was not in a hurry to break the temple to take revenge.

Lang Qi is cautious by nature and guessed that Guo San was killed by Fang Dou after returning to the broken temple.

This ruined temple may have been run as a nest by Fang Dou, and it is dangerous to break in.

He found out that Fang Dou often came to the city to buy, he decided to ambush halfway.

The first thing is to find a local helper.

Lang Qi recalled the fugitive notice posted by City Gate, and there were still a few at large.

One of them is called 'dismounted thief', which is quite capable!

"It's you!"

......

"Little master, the wood and stone of this temple are all the highest materials."

"Look at the collapsed beams and pillars of the South Hall, which have survived the rain and the wind and are immortal. These are the top-grade wood used in the Imperial Family Palace."

"Those stones are even Top Grade. !"

As the construction period progressed, Peng Shijiang talked more and dragged Fang Dou to study the temple.

He was even more curious about the stone statues in the temple. How could a scholar be enshrined in the monk temple?

In contrast, Fang Dou, a 'monk', is not surprising wearing a daoist robe.

"The material of this stone statue, forgive me to speak bluntly, can't be seen!"

Fang Dou was also later and knew nothing about the history of this temple.

The renovation of the temple, under the arrangement of a group of masons, took more than 40 days, and it was finally completed.

"Master Peng, you've worked hard!"

Fang Dou cut 2 gold taels and added some silver and copper coins to make up 50,000 yuan.

Stonemason Peng took the money and was delighted. Fifty thousand dollars is not a small number. If it were all copper coins, it would be difficult to carry.

This is the best combination, gold and silver are easy to carry, plus copper coins and pockets.

"Little master, the north and south side halls have been repaired, but the doors and windows of the south hall have to be built, so we can't live in it for the time being. I will temporarily seal the discipline with thatch to prevent wind and rain from coming in!"

Fang Dou nods, and we have to wait until the next time we enter the city, and then invite a carpenter to make some wooden beds, tables, chairs, and benches by the way.

After the masons left, Fang Dou looked at the renovated temple with a sense of satisfaction.

The original south hall, which was overgrown with grass, has been rebuilt at this moment, and the whole temple has become like a 'broken temple'.

It's not cheap, one ingot of gold is almost used up, half of the silver is spent, and the remaining copper is the most.

"Money!"

Fang Dou thought that he would have to spend all kinds of money in the future.
