After Li Yu handed over the matter to Zhang Xisheng, he set out and left the county town.

A black car was driving on a loess road.

Because it rained this morning, the road was very muddy and the cars drove very slowly.

"Sir, why do you think you want to go to Hebo Temple to have a look?"

In the co-pilot of the car, a man in a military uniform suddenly asked curiously.

The man's name is Du Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes in middle-aged appearance, and a rough temperament. He is Li Yu's company commander of the guard company.

As for Liu Ziyu, Li Yihan and others, they all have important things to do and cannot leave.

"I heard recently that the Hebo Temple was effective and I was a little curious."

Li Yu held Ling Yun in his arms, and he was not dissatisfied with being disturbed.

Du Jin saw that Li Yu was not interested in talking, so he was tactful and did not ask again.

The car was very quiet along the way, and only the "sizzling" sounds from Lingyun from time to time sounded.

Li Yu leaned on the seat and looked out the car window.

Many of the fields outside have been abandoned, and occasionally pass by a village and are dead, and no one has lived there.

Suddenly the car stopped in front of him, and Du Jin immediately went down to inquire after the car stopped.

After a while, Du Jin returned and said with a look of ugly expression: "Sir, it seems that he was a bandit in front of him. There are many corpses scattered on the road, and it needs to be dealt with before he can pass."

This kind of thing is very normal in today's era. Some defeated warlords, deserters on the battlefield, and the surviving civilians may become bandits.

However, judging from the situation of the corpses, it should have been a short while since Du Jin was worried that the bandits had not yet gone far.

"Take me to see." Li Yu nodded slightly, unable to see any expression.

Du Jin immediately arranged for the soldiers to guard the surroundings, and then led Li Yu to the scene of the corpse.

This is a valley, with hillsides several hundred meters high on both sides.

Although the mountains are not high, the trees are dense and easy to hide.

There were more than a dozen corpses scattered on the messy ground, including old and young, men and women.

Men are basically killed by bullets, while women are not dressed and have many fresh scars on their bodies. They are obviously suffering from inhuman abuse before their death.

"In the ravine next to Mr., there are two broken carriages, and these people may be from a large family."

Du Jin walked from the side and analyzed.

Having a carriage and a large family often means that these people are very rich, and it is not surprising that they are targeted by bandits.

"Find a place and bury them all."

Li Yu glanced at the corpse on the ground and shook his head and returned to the car.

About half an hour later, Du Jin brought people back and the car started again soon.

"Sir, we found a ravine to bury the body and the carriage together."

Du Jin sat in front and said nervously.

He didn't know if he could be satisfied with this.

"Just let them get buried."

Li Yu nodded, not blaming the other party for burying it too hasty.

Du Jin and the others have never known each other. It is already a perfect mercy to help clean up the corpses so that the deceased will not have to expose the corpses in the wilderness.

He can't blame anything.

"Are there many bandits near Huangmei County?"

Li Yu skipped this topic and asked another thing.

"In the past, there were many, but after the regiment commander led his troops to suppress the bandits several times, only three bandit forces remained."

Du Jin said without hesitation: "But there is no bandit force in this area to target. The murder may come from outside, and it is likely to be a group of bandits."

"After going back, let Ziyu lead his troops to suppress the rest."

Li Yu's expression was plain, and he determined the life and death of the bandit in one sentence. "If you are not sure, let King Liuli Yu help."

Du Jin felt aware that he did not dare to speak casually.

After more than two hours, the journey went very smoothly.

The car turns from a spacious road into a narrow road. The only thing that has not changed is that the road is still bad, which tests the driver's skills even more.

Du Jin grabbed the seat with both hands and his body shook up and down with the car.

He looked embarrassed and felt that his butt was almost shaking.

Li Yu's expression was as normal, and his body was like a magic needle for stabilizing the sea without wavering.

At this moment, Du Jin envied Yi Ren even more.

Fortunately, after the car drove a few miles, I saw Hebo Temple.

The Hebo Temple is built on the side of a small road, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres. It is the largest water temple in several nearby counties.

Before the car arrived at the temple, it attracted many pilgrims to watch.

But when the car stopped, the pilgrim who was originally watching quickly ran away.

This is not how good the quality of the people, but that many soldiers got out of the car, which caused panic among the people.

In the eyes of most ordinary people, soldiers and bandits are often just wearing different clothes.

When the temple Zhu heard a car appear, he had already arrived at the door.

When he saw the soldiers walking out of the car, his heartbeat missed on the spot.

"I wonder what the hell is there for you to come to the small temple?"

Temple Zhu was a gray-haired old man wearing a washed gray cloth dress. With the help of the young man, he found Du Jin who looked the most like the chief and asked carefully.

"My name is Du Jin, not Jun Ye, don't call him wrong again."

Du Jin glanced at the man getting out of the car in his eyes, and his face turned dark when he heard the old temple prayer words in his ears.

"Yes, yes, the villain understands it."

Lao Miaozhu was frightened by the other party's expression, and then he saw the fierce man trot towards a young man.

The young man looked handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, and he was holding a sable like a dog in his arms.

"I wish you to meet the chief of the Little Man Hebo Temple!"

Lao Miaozhu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Don't be too polite, get up quickly."

Li Yu smiled and helped the other party up, which made Lao Miaozhu a little flattered.

"Thank you, sir. I wonder what you need to do when you come to the small temple? The villain must help you with all your strength!"

Lao Miao Zhu bowed again and said nervously.

"My original surname is Li, and I just came here to visit Gui Temple. I hope I will forgive you if I have any nagging." Li Yu said in a gentle tone.

"Then... the little man leads Mr. Li and introduces the small temple."

Although Lao Miaozhu didn't believe the other party's words in his heart, he did not dare to refuse.

“So best.”

Li Yu nodded and then visited Hebo Temple accompanied by Lao Miaozhu.

Through the gate is a square. There is an incense burner in the center, with smoke scattered inside, and many wooden signs after the incense burned out were inserted.

"This temple was built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. When the Huai River was flooded, the local governor..."

Lao Miaozhu followed Li Yu and talked about the temple and became much more confident and calm.

Li Yu listened to the other party's introduction and came to the main hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge statue of god is about three meters high, but the human figure is a long dragon head, wearing a crown and a dragon robe, which is the classic folk image of the Dragon King.

But is the water god of the Huai River also the Dragon King?

Li Yu was puzzled and asked Lao Miaozhu.

"I don't know about this villain, but the Dragon Prince was indeed invited by him a hundred years ago."

Lao Miaozhu shook his head, but he couldn't explain the reason.

"Of course the God of Water should worship the Dragon Prince!"

Someone in the crowd outside the hall suddenly roared, which attracted Du Jin's dissatisfaction.

With a look, a soldier rushed into the crowd and picked up the person he had just spoken out.

The other party was a young man with many tampons on his clothes. After being caught, he became weak and he knelt on the ground and buried his head.
