Speaking of a thunderstorm approaching in the mountains, Zhang Xiaobian'er ordered more than 2,000 soldiers from Yanying Camp to take shelter in Qingluo Town.
But Li Si, the wild goose on the side, often walked in the bushes and was the most alert and alert.
He looked down from a high place and saw that the ancient town was extremely quiet and there was no trace of human beings.
He thought that the residents had long been away due to war and natural disasters.
They escaped completely, but the ancient town in the mountains was dark, cold, and gloomy.
It was not a good place no matter how you looked at it.
Yan Pai Li Si thought about it and told Zhang Xiaobian'er that Qingluo Town is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is difficult.
It doesn't matter if we all camp in the ancient town to rest, but if there are Cantonese bandits nearby, we will definitely take advantage of the wind and rain. , high If they attack Linxia, Yanying will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but it is better to leave all the troops on the ridge, and only take a small number of soldiers to go to the town to find out the situation.
In this way, the troops can be divided up and down, and a horns can be formed to look after each other. potential.
Zhang Xiaobian'er didn't want to stay in the tent with the army in the rain, so he sent an outpost to explore the way, and took the four brothers and sisters of Yanpai Li and a group of brave men straight to Qingluo Town in the mountains.
As we got closer and closer, we saw not a single person in the town.
The sky was cloudy and not raining, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker.
Apart from the roar of thunder, this large ancient town was actually deserted.
Not even the crowing of cocks or the barking of dogs could be heard.
Just because the world was in chaos at that time, the legal system was in vain.
Whether they were rebel bandits or the officers and soldiers of the Qing court, they were no different from bandits and bandits.
They drank and ate meat in the camp, robbed gold and silver on the way out, killed people and set fires.
Activities like this were commonplace.
No matter where they went, the people would all run away, and all the houses in the place would be empty.
Therefore, although Yan Ling'er and others saw that the town was empty and the air of death was heavy everywhere, they were not too surprised.
They knew that even if there were some old, weak, women and children in the town who could not escape, they would have met the Qing army at this time.
They all closed their doors and hid, so they asked the following regimental heroes to hold swords, spears and guns, and guard closely on both sides of the battalion officer, taking careful precautions.
Zhang Xiaopian'er followed the army and ignored the movements in Qingluo Town, staring at the long-faced Arhat cat.
As long as the cat didn't speak, the sky would fall and it wouldn't be able to hit the third master's hair.
But once it saw the omen and spoke, his life would soon be over, but he didn't know if he could escape.
Zhang Xiaobian'er was wearing a military uniform on the outside, black cicada light armor that could protect against water and fire on the inside, and concealed a sharp-edged musket.
Although he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, he still showed a restless look that alternated between happiness and sadness.
Yan Pai Li Si, who was following him, looked at him with eyes wide open and asked him, saying that most of our Yanying brothers were background thieves. hour We have always been guarded and jealous by the government, and the Cantonese bandits also hate us to the core, but Third Brother does not need to worry about it.
As long as the brothers are still breathing, no matter whether they are coming with open guns or hidden arrows, they can be blocked by Third Brother.
Zhang Xiaobian'er knew that Yanpai Li Si was very loyal, but what happened to the old ghost in the forest was weird and unspeakable, and he couldn't tell the truth, so he reasoned that it was not because he was worried about his own safety, but that as soon as he entered Qingluo Town, he remembered the old things. , even though it has been several years, I still feel itchy with hatred when I think back to it.
When Yan Pai Li Si and Yan Ling'er heard this, they felt even more strange.
They didn't know what old thing it was.
In fact, this is not what Zhang Xiaobian'er just made up.
It turns out that Lingzhou has been a prosperous place for thousands of years, a place where fish and dragons have changed.
It has been known as the "Seven Wonders" since ancient times.
The first one is extremely famous, and it is undoubtedly Yunzhong.
Tower shadow.
In the past, the ancient pagodas of Tawang Temple reached into the sky.
Whenever the fog gathered in the distant mountains outside the city and the sun's shadow shone, there would be a strange phenomenon of groups of pagodas coming towards the temple.
It was known as the "Pagoda City" among the people, and it has always been associated with Dengzhou Haishi.
They are equally famous, but as the Lingzhou Tower King was destroyed in the war, the wonders of Tower City have long been lost.
Secondly, there is the Cat Immortal Temple in Lingzhou City.
Although the land is vast and rich, the strange customs and customs of worshiping cats as immortals are only found in Lingzhou, so it can be called a temple.
Absolutely.
Some of the seven unique features of Lingzhou refer to historical sites, and some refer to customs, each of which is different.

The last one of them refers to Qingluo Shaobing.
Qingluo Ancient Town on the edge of Lingzhou produces excellent spiced beef, as well as butter and sesame biscuits.
The biscuits are sandwiched with beef, and eating them together is even better.
It’s really unforgettable.
There are many shaobing shops in the town, each with its own unique folk crafts and ancestral secret recipes.
In the first two years when Zhang Xiaobian'er was not yet prosperous, he went to Qingluo Town to do some dirty tricks.
He was greedy and wanted to order some food from the sesame cake shop, but he was caught on the spot by his pigtails.
He also got the stolen goods.
Not only did he fail to eat the sesame cakes, but he also had a good meal.
Thinking back to this day, he still feels aggrieved. pregnant.
But he couldn't say that to Yan Pai Li Si and Yan Ling'er.
The third master couldn't afford to disgrace that person.
He only said that he was a hero at the end of his life and was in poverty.
When he passed here, he met a Shaobing shop and watched the boss making Shaobing.
The craftsmanship really needs to be taught, so I tried to beg him for some sesame seed cakes so that I could support my eighty-year-old wife at home.
Who would have thought that the man who made sesame seed cakes was extremely stingy and looked down upon others, so instead of refusing to give alms, he would hit him with his fists.
He also broke several of Third Master's ribs by kicking him.
Even now, whenever it's rainy and wet, the pain in the bones is excruciating.
Yanpai Li Si was annoyed when he heard this: "This guy is really bullying others.
You know, a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years.
Third brother, do you remember which shaobing shop it is?
When the brothers come looking for it, kill the good and the bad in his family first." , then set a fire and burn him completely, leaving no trace behind, so that the bad breath can be solved. " Zhang Xiaobian'er pretended to be free and easy and said: "Times have changed, and I still care about those old things.
I just remember the past.
When I think about the time when I was wandering around and suffering from hunger, I always thought that if I get rich in the future, I will have no worries about food and clothing, and be happy all day long.
But now today Today, although I am a mess After entering the palace, the flower feathers worn on the head of a third-rank official were tied to his head.
He no longer had to worry about food and clothing, but he had many hardships that he had never thought of before.
It’s true that wild flowers grow every year, and troubles arise every day without roots.”
While everyone was talking, they arrived at the middle of the street in Qingluo Town.
In the middle of this ancient town is a thousand-year-old temple.
When it was prosperous and prosperous, it was also a famous temple in Lingzhou, called the Crock Temple, which worshiped the City God.
It has been abandoned for a long time now.
The temple gate is in ruins, the sacred road is desolate, and the clay sculptures of imps, judges, bull heads, and horse faces in the hall are all staggering, with arms and heads missing.
At this moment, a thunderbolt rang out in the middle of the day, shaking the roof tiles of the ancient temple.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the wind roared, and heavy rain came.
At first it was a drizzle, then it was like a torrential downpour, just like a river toppling the sea, and the rain and mist covered the field and the sky was lost.
Waterfalls hang down in front of the eaves, boats are sailing on the land, waves surge in the streets, floods flood the houses, rivers overflow, streams and lanes are everywhere, heavy rain falls in a moment, and rivers are suspended in the sea in an instant.
Yan Pai Li Si hurriedly took everyone to avoid the Crock Temple.
Those who were marching and fighting did not have so many taboos.
When they arrived at the temple, they sat on the ground.
Seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, they ordered the regiments in the camp to boil water for cooking.
Zhang Xiaobian'er had something in his mind and was in a trance.
He couldn't sit or stand.
While he was anxious, he saw that there was an apse in the temple.
He wanted to have some peace and quiet, so he walked there.
The four brothers and sisters Yanpai Li were afraid that he would encounter an assassin, so they followed him closely.

The three of them, with a few followers, walked from the corridor to the front of the back hall.
Suddenly they heard a lowing cow coming from the door.
They couldn't help but feel strange.
The people in this town had fled long ago.
Where could there be any more people?
What's more, the cow is in this abandoned ancient temple.
Zhang Xiaowei'er said: "This cow was probably stolen by some meat-and-wine monk and raised here.
Killing animals and eating meat in a ruined temple is exactly what wild monks do.
Since he was hit by the third master, he just stewed it for the brothers in the camp."
Isn't it better to eat beef in a pot than to eat those rough dry foods?"
He kicked open the door of the palace and looked inside, only to see some food in the palace.
There was a dim oil lamp burning on the ground, and the ground was covered with dust and cobwebs.
The clay statues of the five gods in the shrine had long since lost their appearance.
A green cow was tied to the pillar at the door, and there was a stove panel in the corner.
There was raw meat inside, and the basket next to it was filled with sesame cakes.
Looking at the decoration, it looked like a shop that slaughtered cows and made sesame cakes.
This kind of shop is usually very common in Qingluo Town, but for some reason it is hidden in a temple.
What's even more strange is that there is a shiny black coffin parked in the house.
Zhang Xiaowei'er and others were surprised.
Could it be that the zombie in the coffin became a spirit and opened a shop here to slaughter beef, stew meat and make sesame cakes?
Yanpai Li Si was born in the green forest.
He was extremely courageous and intelligent.
He had killed many people since he joined the army.
He didn't care about life and death.
How could he care about these strange things.
He snorted coldly, and was about to call his left and right men to come forward, take out the green cow, and kill it on the spot, skin it and eat its meat.
Zhang Xiaobian'er has learned a lot about clouds and things, and can not only identify cats and dogs, but also all kinds of cows and horses.
When talking about famous horses and good horses, they are often worth tens of thousands.
Among them, the names are nothing more than black horses, rouge horses, mugwort greens, hay yellows, flame horses, green-maned beasts, white dragon horses, jade-crested horses, etc.
They can travel a thousand times a day and travel a thousand times a night.
Walking eight hundred years, Bole knew how to tell horses in ancient times, and these matters are not a problem.
But when it comes to the art of fortune-telling, I think there are only green oxen, yellow oxen, and buffaloes.
Although they are huge, they are mostly used to plow fields and pull plows.
Isn't it true that fortune-telling is the art of slaying dragons in name only?
In fact, there are also good and bad luck in cattle.
From the point of view of ugliness, Zhang Xiaobian'er noticed that the green cow tied in the house was extremely weird.
It turns out that all docile and strong cows must have "longevity and long span of life", that is, a wide forehead and long horns.
However, this ownerless green cow has less hair and more bones, with a cold tongue and tall hooves.
There are spiral hairs all over the forehead, and the eyelashes are messy and angular.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a ghost.
When the green cow saw someone coming in, it raised its head, showed a fierce look in its eyes, snorted and muttered.
Yanpai Li Si had murderous intentions and said to Zhang Xiaowei'er: "Third brother, I have seen many cows and horses, but I have never seen such vicious beasts that don't know how to die.
This cow can be killed but not kept."
Zhang Xiaowei'er also wondered: "It is said that the old cow often crows, which is probably a sign of treasure in its belly."
As he said this, he walked forward and touched the cow's back, trying to see whether the cow was in decline or in good health.

Worthy of health.
A green cow has two teeth at the age of three, four teeth at the age of four, and six teeth at the age of five.
Every year thereafter, a segment of the backbone is connected.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put his hand on the cow's back, he touched a piece of meat. scale.
Zhang Xiaobian'er's heart suddenly tightened, and he realized that the green cow in front of him was not a cow at all.
He hurriedly lowered his head to look at the long-faced Arhat cat following behind him on the ground.
The cat was opening its mouth to scream.
This was really "terrifying" My heart is broken, my heart is shattered, my soul is shattered, and my soul is in ecstasy.”
