"This young hero, thank you for your help. The young actor Tu Chengli is from Yin County, Yuezhou Prefecture."

Seeing Lu Xin paying the tea money, the scholar smiled happily and hurriedly sat over. He was still shouting, but at this moment, he seemed to be fine, staring at the boy in front of him. While speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the beef into his mouth. Looking at the intoxicated expression, he obviously hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

It's no wonder that the tea stall owner called him a rogue at first. Lu Xin was a little uncomfortable at first, but when he saw a patch on the scholar's cuff, he shook his head and had to order another plate of meat.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the shopkeeper's person is not very good, the beef made in sauce is pretty good. I can eat some and go on the road for another two or three days."

It took almost half a minute to Butu Chengli to eat half a plate of beef. Then he glanced at Lu Xin, smiled awkwardly, and began to search for something from the package.

"I'm so hungry to travel among the poor mountains and rivers for a few days. I'm so angry that I offended you. I hope the young hero can forgive me. In return, I can borrow the divine book I have collected for many days to watch. This is a treasure, a peerless lonely book, so don't reveal it."

Tu Chengli took out a yellowed book from the package, and his expression suddenly became sneaky, and his voice was extremely low. Lu Xin frowned, took the book and looked through a page, his face turned red, and he quickly pushed it back.

"Spring Palace Picture?"

"Shh! What spring palace is called mandarin ducks playing in the water, flying immortals from the sky. The old saying goes that spring night is worth a thousand gold, which comes from this book. Think about it, we are born handsome men, walking in this wilderness, can only be accompanied by nightingales and lonely lamps, so lonely. If this book is used as accompaniment, how much lovesickness and sorrow can be relieved? Judging from the age of the young hero, he is similar to that of the young actor, he must be able to understand the artistic conception, hehehehe..."

Tu Chengli's lewd smile was extremely vulgar, his eyes were confused, and he didn't look like a scholar. Lu Xin sighed in his heart, and then he let out a sigh and said coldly: "You came out of your hometown to take the exam, you are penniless. It's fake to lose your wallet, and it's true to have some food and drink. I'm right?"

"Why did the young hero say this?"

"Okay, don't put it on me. You have patches on your sleeves and don't even have to change clothes in the package, which shows your embarrassment. Anyone who goes to Beijing to take the exam, even if his family is poor and hungry, will buy a decent outfit before going out to avoid being underestimated. My background is the same as yours. In this situation, not to mention a bag of money, even a penny is regarded as life, so how can I lose it?"

Lu Xin's words made the scholar gradually change his face. He didn't seem to have expected that the person in front of him could clearly explain his situation in a few words. He had to collect the picture of the erotic palace and talk about his life experience with Lu Xin.

Tu Chengli was seventeen years old this year and was born in a fishing village in the northeast of Yin County. His parents went fishing at sea when he was two years old and never came back. He was taken care of by villagers since he was a child, and he was also a man who had eaten a hundred families. At the age of five, he herded cattle for a wealthy family and began to learn to recognize words. According to Tu Chengli himself, he was an extremely smart person and was born to be a material for studying. The scriptures that others would take two or three years to read, but he could memorize them in one or two months, and even recite them backwards.

Later, because of his talent and talent, Tu Chengli was very popular with the masters of the mansion. He helped him study in the county school. Tu Chengli, who arrived in the prosperous place, was obsessed with the bustling city for a long time. Not only did he stop reading, but he walked with a group of gangsters all day long. After wasting a few years of time, he had no progress in his studies, so the masters of the mansion no longer cared about him. Tu Chengli, who had no financial resources, quickly had no way out and had to start studying again. Two years ago, he became famous for a poem, which made all the scholars in the county know about his literary talent. This time, the county recommended it directly to Chang'an as a village tribute.

"According to what you said, a scholar who is famous in Yin County has received a quota for the township tribute. Didn't the county government give you some money to go on your way?"

Although Tu Chengli talked a lot and spoke with both emotions, Lu Xin naturally didn't believe in his previous performance. Just such a lustful and greedy person would be unreasonable to say that he had the best literary talent in the whole county.

"Oh, the mountains and rivers are hard to find, and the ancients did not deceive me. If even the young heroes don't believe in the dragon and phoenix, then in this world, I dare to ask who else can have a heart to do with Tu? Forget it, it's better not to say it or not..."

Tu Chengli sighed a long time ago, and while talking, he wanted to pick up food and eat. Lu Xin quickly moved his chopsticks to stop him. At this moment, a group of horses suddenly ran over in front of the tea stall. More than a dozen people were wearing straw raincoats and hats and galloped away. Because the horses were running too fast and were very close to the tea stall, the mud splashed from the horse's hooves instantly fell all over the crowd. Moreover, the tea and beef on the table were all splashed with mud and could not be eaten. Tu Chengli was furious and stood up suddenly and wanted to scold. But when he saw the leader stopping not far away, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly lowered his head and sat back.

At this time, Lu Xin was naturally unhappy. Not only did he say that his clothes were dirty, he had not eaten much of the second plate of beef he ordered, but he was ruined again. They were all bought for money, so he naturally wanted to ask the other party for an explanation. He immediately picked up the Yin-Yang Going to the Fairy Sword and got up to speak.

At the same time, the leader of the horse team walked to the tea stall owner.

"Shopkeeper, how far is this place from Heihu Town? There are two roads left and right down the mountain. Which one should I take?"

"If you go back to the Lord, Heihu Town is still twenty miles away from Heihu Ridge, and you can reach both roads. However, although the one on the right is steeper, the distance is short..."

"Thank you, let's go."

The leader turned around and called his subordinates, and after that, he wanted to get on the horse again. Lu Xin didn't let him go like that. He was about to shout out, but unexpectedly, Tu Chengli, who was beside him, was blocked by Tu Chengli.

"Are you crazy? Everyone in the Imperial Temple dares to provoke you and don't want to live?"

"The Temple of the Imperial Temple?"

Lu Xin frowned. He seemed to have heard these three words somewhere. The scholar looked frightened. Although he lowered his voice and spoke, his hands were trembling obviously. Seeing this, Lu Xin had to suppress the anger in his heart and sat down again. The horse team quickly disappeared into the woods. Apart from the countless hoof prints left on the ground, the group of people seemed to have never appeared.

"The Imperial Temple you mentioned is the imperial institution?"

"It seems you know a little, I was scared to death just now. Fortunately, I was sharp-eyed and saw the man's dress under the straw raincoat. You may not see clearly that he was wearing a special official uniform from the court. His collar and cuffs were stitched with patterns representing the Imperial Temple. Moreover, the people behind him, wearing armor, must have been elite cavalry dispatched from the local area. Onmyoji of the Imperial Temple handled the case, I am afraid there are some demons nearby!"

When talking about the last two words, Tu Chengli tightened his clothes, as if he felt a little cold. Lu Xin then remembered that he had heard these three words two years ago when he was in the City God Temple in Xiaoxi Town. At that time, in order to prevent the Onmyoji of the Jiudu Gate from killing people, Du Yuetao moved out of the Imperial Temple to threaten, but unfortunately he did not succeed.

"You know Onmyoji too? Have you ever seen it?"

"Have you seen it? Of course it is impossible, but now in this world, there are demons and monsters everywhere. Among the people, the legend of Onmyoji has long been well-known. However, the legend is legendary, I have never seen any Onmyoji who will come out to cure diseases and save people."

"Haha, that's right. Onmyoji practices Taoism to become an immortal, and he will suffer thousands of disasters. Who cares about the life and death of all living beings? As for this imperial temple, how much do you know?"

Lu Xin got Yin and Yang Traveling to the Immortal Sword. According to Wuyouzi, he was a destined person to practice Taoism. The Imperial Temple was an institution of the Tang Dynasty court. If he wanted to go to Chang'an, he had to know something about it. Otherwise, he would be involved in the dispute between the court and the major sects without knowing anything, which would be too unfair.

"Actually, I don't know much about the Imperial Temple. I heard some rumors when I was in the market. But you have heard of Dali Temple, which has taken charge of prisons and arbitrarily in the world and suspected cases, and has great authority within the court. The Imperial Temple is like the Dali Temple in the underworld, which specializes in the case of ghosts and gods. Although I don't know how powerful the Onmyoji who were enthroned by the court has, as long as I go out to do the job, it is equivalent to receiving the emperor's order, and I can kill first and then report..."

Lu Xin was not comfortable eating this tea in Heihuling. But from Tu Chengli, he knew a lot of interesting rumors. The thunderstorm passed in less than half an hour, and the night had completely fallen. Lu Xin was originally planning to ride a horse to stay in the town alone. But Tu Chengli insisted that he wanted to walk together, saying that it would be a companion on the road. However, he refused and had to agree.

The two of them walked on the muddy mountain road very slowly. There were twenty miles from Heihu Ridge to the town at the foot of the mountain. Although it was not far away, it had just rained and it was night. Even a trainee like Lu Xin had a difficult time walking. Not to mention Tu Chengli, a scholar, was extremely weak, and many sections of the road were carried by Lu Xin.

Boom!

When the two walked about ten miles away, another thunder was thunder in the sky, followed by a strong wind and heavy rain. The mountain road was no longer able to walk, so there was no way, so Lu Xin had to take Tu Chengli into the woods to hide. There was a dense bush around. Although the big trees above could cover most of the rain, they could not block the cold mountain wind. Tu Chengli was so scared that he shivered and hugged Lu Xin throughout the whole process.

"I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes and I've met you. Now I'm fine, I have to stay on the mountain all night."

"Stand together, help together... The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If you meet me, it is a blessing from heaven. Brother Xin, you can't leave me alone. Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."

"Damn, say it again, throw it out immediately or believe it or not? Also, don't call me Brother Xin."

"Okay, Brother Xin, I know I'm wrong."
