It is said that a large group of wild dogs in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses in the Deserted Burial Valley came into the city and disrupted the Lingzhou law field, killing and injuring countless soldiers and civilians.
In the end, they were all killed on the spot by the brave soldiers.
After the melee, dead people and dogs were everywhere in the middle of the street.
It is pity that this rich and famous city, a prosperous place, has become a shura field of ghost crying gods.
The governor, Mr.
Ma, could not help but get furious when he saw clearly from upstairs.
He mobilized his troops to close the city gate, and sent a group of brave men to hunt down the Mastiff in the streets and alleys.
But soon someone came to report that the vicious dog had been seen escaping across the city and into the barren mountains.
Mr.
Ma quickly gathered a crowd for discussion.
He said to the officials: "This beast likes to be evil, and it seems to be well prepared.
He actually wants to assassinate an official of the imperial court.
He must be controlled by the evil magic of creating beasts.
If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, he will It will become a serious problem."
According to the practice of the Qing Dynasty, people at the same level were in charge of civil affairs and military affairs, and Manchus were in charge of Han Dynasty.
However, Admiral Tuhai had no real power in Lingzhou.
He only filled a false position.
In fact, he was a supervisor sent by the imperial court.
Moreover, this person He is a mediocre and incompetent person.
He had just seen the divine mastiff bite the executioner of the Ministry of Justice to death in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly jumped up to the tower to commit the murder.
Under the bombardment of a row of muskets, he was able to escape unscathed by leaping onto the roof of the building.
It was really like a "celestial dog" , couldn't help being frightened and flustered, and just excused himself by saying that the matter was entirely up to Mr.
Ma.
Ma Tianxi didn't expect him to have any real insights, so he immediately asked everyone to make suggestions.
An aide said: "Most of the wild dogs outside the city wander in groups and have no fixed location during the day.
They will only gather in the barren mountains and poor valleys after sunset.
It is better to send a brave and capable officer with a sentry.
Bring more firearms and sneak into the pit of corpses at night to completely exterminate them."
Another staff member said: "Although there are many wild dogs, they are not a cause for concern.
Military strategists have a saying that to capture the thief first, capture the king.
First, we must try to get rid of the evil dog leading it.
But this dog is called a divine mastiff by the people, and it is definitely not Can be compared to ordinary wild dogs and vicious dogs.
He only has a green face and fangs, is very ferocious, and is alert and sharp.
When he leaps, he can go straight to the top of the city.
If the monsters in Journey to the West don't appear, or the beasts in the list of gods come down to earth, even if they send many brave men, they may not be able to deal with them. enemy."
Mr.
Ma nodded and said: "That makes sense.
In your opinion, what should be done?
If you have a good idea at the moment, you can speak out and share your worries for me."
The staff member often claimed to be well-informed and knowledgeable, but since he joined Mr.
Ma, he has been unable to offer any good advice.
Today, he just needed it, and he immediately said: "I once heard some foreigners say, In that Western and heroic country, there are also many vicious dogs running rampant, so it should be There is a popular custom in the country.
When a man is called a gentleman, when he goes out on the street, he will hold a stick in his hand, which is called a civilized stick.
It is specially used to drive away dogs.
As soon as the wild dogs on the street see this stick, they will stay away.

Run away and don't dare to approach, because dogs are evil by nature, which is an innate habit of creation."
After hearing this, everyone on the side said: "The British and the barbarians are all barbarians living in the sea.
They have never been civilized by the king.
Although their ships are strong and powerful, those gentlemen still beat dogs with sticks when they go out on the street." , but I don’t know that in our Qing Dynasty, Civilized sticks for chasing dogs are always used by beggars.
However, dogs do hate sticks.
Even the most ferocious wild dogs will be discouraged when they see sticks.
They should be given to the soldiers and civilians of Lingzhou.
Keep plenty of short sticks to prevent vicious dogs from harming people again.”
Everyone offered suggestions, but after all, no plan was feasible.
When they were at a loss, spies suddenly came to report that the Cantonese invaders were divided into several groups and came to attack the city.
The return was sudden and concealed, and the forward was now less than thirty miles away from the city.
Lord Ma hurriedly asked how many bandits were coming, and the spy reported: "We saw them sweeping over the mountains and plains, with swords and spears like forests, and soldiers and armor like rain.
It's hard to count."
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side.
Let’s not mention the sudden news that the Guangdong invaders were attacking the city.
How Lingzhou City deployed troops and generals to lock up the city for defense.
Let’s just say that Zhang Xiaopian’er was wrapped in the flow of people running around the execution ground. , and ran after him involuntarily for a while, not knowing where Sun Mazi and the black cat beside him had fled.
He arrived alone on a narrow street.
At this time, he could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south.
He was secretly glad that he had not been bitten by a vicious dog in the chaos.
When he saw that there was no one around him, he sat on the steps in front of a house and shouted.
Gasp.
Zhang Xiaobian'er thought to himself that he thought the city would be more stable, but he didn't expect it to be so uneasy.
This time, the wild dogs suddenly went crazy and killed countless people.
The streets were full of people who died violently.
It would be better to go find Sun Mazi and go together.
It would be better to leave the land of right and wrong and flee to the capital to find a way to make money.
Just as he was making calculations in his mind, he suddenly heard a cat meowing on the wall.
When he looked up, he saw that it was the moon-shadowed black-eyed golden cat.
Zhang Xiaowei stood up and said to the black cat: "Glutty cat, where are you going to mess around with?"
I’ll teach your third master how to find it.
I would like to follow Mr.
Zhang to the capital to see what he has to offer.”
Before Zhang Xiaobian finished speaking, he suddenly felt that someone was grabbing the braid on the back of his head.
The pain caused him to take a breath of air-conditioning and cursed: "There is no such thing as a king.
Who dares to pull such a thing after eating a bear's heart and a tiger's guts?"
"Zhang Cardou's braids" He only heard a dry laughter like sawing wood behind him: "Hey, now I have made a card head, but do you still remember the old friend?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaowei'er already knew that it was the person he met in the golden coffin tomb.
The old ghost in the forest hurriedly changed his words and said: "How dare you forget the great kindness of the old gentleman."
Zhang Xiaobian'er felt his braids being loosened, so he straightened his clothes and hat, turned around and saluted, and saw the old ghost in the forest wearing a wide-collared robe.
The clothes were old and tattered, and he didn't know which dynasty or generation he wore.
His face was still covered with a veil, and only his two withered eyes were exposed.
He didn't look like a living person at all.
I just heard him ask: "Zhang Card Tou, I once gave you advice on how to make a fortune, but you have achieved it."
Zhang Xiaobian'er was originally angry that although the old man had wealth and wealth, it was the official's treasury, which made him sick because he didn't eat the mutton, and suffered a lot of trouble, but when he saw the look of the old ghost in the forest, he was really Three points don't look like a human being, seven points look like a ghost, how can I dare to speak out?

Not willing to ask for trouble, he had no choice but to tell the whole story with a grimace, and finally said: "Although the old gentleman's advice is good, I can't make a lot of money in my life.
The thief will be repaid by the thief, and the money has not warmed up yet." , and was taken down by a group of policemen on the street.”
The old ghost in the forest said: "The two people who escaped from the Golden Coffin Village with you, one is Caotou Taisui, who can help you with some strength; the other is the White Tiger Star Lord of the Sangmen.
Take that girl with you, How to make a fortune seems to be the same This is not the place in your destiny that attracts the evil stars to deceive the Lord, but you don’t have to worry about it.
I have seen many people in my life, but among the best fortune-tellers in the world, no one can be the right one. , there will definitely be good fortune from you in the future.”
Zhang Xiaobian'er was overjoyed when he heard that he could still make a fortune in the future.
As the saying goes, "Wine can make a person's face red, but money can charm the heart."
At this moment, he couldn't even think about whether what the old ghost in the forest said was true or what his intentions were.
He immediately prostrated himself and begged the master to take a look.
Self-creation.
The old ghost in the forest didn't say anything.
He picked up Zhang Xiaowei'er and led him around to the Cat Fairy Temple behind Mao'er Lane.
After arriving at this quiet place with no one around, I asked him: "Zhang San, please tell me what your life ambitions are."
Zhang Xiaobian was too embarrassed to directly say, "I have nothing else to ask for except money," so he replied shamelessly: "Don't think that this kid is just a bachelor playing in the market.
The fire is too long, and the latch is too short.
No matter how you look at it, I am not like a pillar that holds the sky and the sea, but I have always had great ambitions and often want to do something heroic. " The old ghost in the forest sneered and asked: "Tell me, what is a hero?"
Zhang Xiaowei'er said: "Since ancient times, all heroes must not be engaged in production and labor, and they must not work as cattle or horses for others.
They must have means.
He is generous and straightforward; he never cares about money, travels everywhere, spends money like water, and makes good friends.
When you are with friends, you do not hesitate to use justice and wealth; set great ambitions, achieve great things, and spread your reputation widely, then you are a true hero and a true hero."
In fact, the meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, if you want to do great things, you must first have something.
As for money, there is a saying that "people who don't have money to help their spirits are weak will have difficulty coping with the lack of money."
The old ghost in the forest nodded and said: "Well, it is true that a hero has a vulgar mind.
Although he is a bit extravagant and unnatural, this is also the unruly part of a hero's mind.
But you missed the money in the Huaiyuan Treasury.
In recent years, all the wealth and prosperity have been lost, and it is really difficult to achieve great wealth."
Zhang Xiaowei'er was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Young man, I don't expect to have the finger that turns stone into gold like Patriarch Lu Chunyang.
I don't even dare to expect to be lucky enough to find a cornucopia.
I just want to have a copper mountain and a golden cave."
A lifetime of wealth means you are content, and you will burn incense and worship the Cat Fairy every day.”
The old ghost in the forest said: "Those copper mountains and golden caves are both rich and powerful, and you may not be able to get them yourself.
However, although your financial luck is low, you happen to have the general star in your head, and you have the military luck.
It’s a sign of prosperity.
If you follow my advice, you will surely become an officer in charge of the army within a year.
When the time comes, I will show you a path to prosperity, and you will still be majestic and wealthy.”
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaobian'er felt that all the bones in his body were a few taels lighter.
He never dreamed that he would have such a good life.
It was probably because the ancestral graves in his hometown were smoking.
To be powerful these days is to be rich.
If you can really become a general commanding the army, Guangzong Yaozu can restore the old Zhang family's family status.
It's not a problem.
You don't need to be an officer as high as the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, as long as you can get a general. , I am already very powerful, and I am busy asking for advice on how to behave in the future.
The old ghost in the forest said: "The sign of great rule in the world is that the earth's energy flows from the north to the south.
Now that chaos arises from the south, the world will be in chaos.
It is a good opportunity to make contributions.

If you catch up with your luck, don't say it is."
A military officer of the third or fourth grade, I'm afraid even the high-ranking official It is not difficult to do.
Now in the barren mountains and poor valleys south of the city, a Mobei Mastiff has gathered a large group of wild dogs to cause harm.
Although there are many officers and soldiers in the city, it is difficult to kill it.
The whole Lingzhou Mansion must have trouble sleeping and eating, and it will be a mess.
If you want to achieve great success, you must first win this title.”
Zhang Xiaobian'er was speechless after hearing this.
Today he saw with his own eyes how ferocious the Mastiff was.
Even figures like Liu Wuye, the executioner of the Ministry of Punishments, were disemboweled on the spot.
Moreover, this beast walks like flying and is unpredictable.
It is said that it is a musket, knife and spear.
Even if it is a trap and poisoned, it will be seen through.
The officers and soldiers in the city can do nothing about it.
How could Mr.
Zhang have any means to deal with it in the past few days?
Although the black cat was used to break the evil spell of the mouse monk.
It just happened to be a conflict between physical properties, but I have never heard of a strange thing in the world where a cat can subjugate a dog.
The old ghost in the forest ignored Zhang Xiaowei'er and took out a package of things from his arms.
It was filled with salted fish and bacon.
He tore it into pieces and threw it on the temple floor.
The wild cats in Cat Alley smelled the salty smell and immediately gathered in from all directions.
Zhang Xiaobian'er didn't know what kind of medicine the old ghost in the forest was selling in his gourd, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to squat in the corner and watch.
After the old ghost in the forest had fed the cats to fullness, he told Zhang Xiaobian'er: "I want to borrow a few things from their ancestor's side.
How can they not give up without giving me some benefits first?"
Zhang Xiaowei'er was even more curious.
It was said that the Cat Immortal was originally a famous thief in Lingzhou City.
Later, because he stole the Night Pearl from the palace, he was worried about being caught by the government, so he hid in the world incognito.
What's going on in this temple?
There will be things around him The old ghost in the forest pried open some green bricks under the shrine, and a wooden box was revealed.
It looked antique and old, and it must have been buried for many years.
After opening it, it was just a set of night clothes worn by a snitch.
When he saw these things, he sneered gloomily again, and then said to Zhang Xiaowei'er: "This is the outfit that the Cat Fairy wore back then.
It's called Black Chan.
Not only is this thing as light as nothing, but it can also avoid knives and guns.
Fire does not burn, but it floats when it touches water.
This is a rare thing The treasure he got, but even more rare, were the kitten ears he kept at the bottom of the box.
With this outfit, you only need to do this and this tonight to capture the Mobei fierce mastiff.
It’s as easy as picking something out of a bag or closing a door with your backhand.”
This is exactly: "Plan to catch the jade rabbit in the moon, and plan to catch the golden crow in the sun."
