Chapter 83: Another Illegal Sect Appears
The next day, the Dali Temple people went to several streets where the little beggars appeared. Fortunately, the little beggar showed up on time today. Xin Hai showed up too many times yesterday, so today he was directly made to lie on the wall.
A white little hand grasped the corner of Gu Qingyun's clothes. The little beggar limped and said expectantly, "Give me some money, Master. Please have mercy on me, Master."
Gu Qingyun pretended to be wealthy, took out a few copper coins from his sleeve pocket, and walked out of the alley with a swagger.
Wuhuan and Zhao Huaiqing encountered the same situation. After paying the money, they walked away in a swagger.
After walking for some distance, he climbed onto the roof and came back to stare at the little beggar.
The little beggar who was begging for money from Gu Qingyun just now was now leaning against the wall lifelessly, holding the bowl for begging indifferently, with no energy at all.
Therefore, many people in brocade and jade robes walked by. Gu Qingyun stared closely. Another person came. This time, the little beggar reacted. He hugged his head first and muttered in a low voice, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
The man kicked the little beggar hard, then went to the alley on the other side and sat down.
Only then did Gu Qingyun realize that these little beggars were being watched by someone. He didn't know whether there were several little beggars being watched one by one, or if there was one person watching each one.
On Zhao Huaiqing's side, the little beggar was very active and kept asking for money. He got a lot of money in the morning.
The situation in Wuhuan is pretty much the same.
It was almost noon when several little beggars stood up and walked silently in the same direction, but they took completely different roads, as if they were deliberately avoiding meeting their little friends.
Only the one in front of Gu Qingyun seemed to be deliberately waiting for something.
Not long after, a little beggar came out from another alley, took the bowl and poured the money into the beggar's bowl. After he was done, he returned to his own alley.
The people from the Dali Temple were chasing them on the roof. It seemed like their direction was set. Even though they were going from north to south, they took every step very carefully, making it almost impossible for them to meet their companions.
When they reached the city center, several people changed direction again. Except for the north, the others went into different alleys.
Several people from the Dali Temple also reacted quickly, looked at each other on the roof, and followed their own goals.
After a while, a few little beggars came out of the city gate, and not long after, the people from the Dali Temple met again.
After the little beggars left the city gate, they relaxed a lot and their steps became lighter.
Gu Qingyun and others soon discovered that they were not really disabled, they were just pretending.
Could it be that we have really found the wrong place? This is just the way these little beggars survive, they are not being persecuted.
But they were unwilling to give up this possibility, so they followed the little beggar not too close or too far away.
It was not until they crossed two mountains and a dam slowly unfolded before everyone that the people in the Dali Temple were shocked.
In a valley so close to Kyoto Prefecture, there is such a flat plain, and it is not considered a county. In Gu Qingyun's memory, this place is at most a farm.
How do they support so many people? Everyone is doing their own thing, some are growing vegetables and raising chickens, some are doing laundry and cooking. In short, they all live and work in peace and contentment.
After the beggars returned to the dam, they separated, went home to change their clothes, and started doing other work.
The dam was surrounded by a simple wall, and outside it was a group of people who looked ferocious.
There are big characters written in front of the dam: Tiandi Jiao.
The matter of the Tianshi Sect is not over yet, so why did the Tiandi Sect come out again? I don’t know what their intention is to keep so many people in the village.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the vicious man from the morning rode his horse to the gate of the village. He looked around vigilantly and heard him cursing, "Where are those little beasts from the morning? Come out and see how much they have begged. They can eat and drink every day, but this little money is so hard to beg, right?" As he said that, he picked up the bucket at the door to vent his anger.
The dam was very quiet, but the man's voice was very loud. Several children came out hurriedly with their bowls in their hands. The man looked at them, especially the bowl of the child he had kicked in the morning.
"Who are you asking for money from again, you shameless guy." After saying that, he was about to hit me.
The child curled up into a ball, crying, "Master Dihuang, Master Dihuang, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, please let me go."
The man called Master Rehmannia hit the child on the ground a few more times before he stopped, then turned around and walked away in annoyance.
Several children knelt on the ground again with expressions of submission.
Because everyone from Dali Temple was still halfway up the mountain looking down, the voices of the people below were so low that they could not be heard. A few children gathered together to discuss something, and Gu Qingyun could not see their lip movements clearly, so he had to give up.
It seems that this is an illegal sect established in the name of Zhuangzi.
I wonder if it has any relationship with Tianshi Sect?
But it doesn't look like a serious place.
Apart from those little beggars, there was not a single child in the entire city. However, there were many adults working hard, and Gu Qingyun had a feeling that something was wrong.
This place can almost be called a small village. If there are no children in every household, then where do all these adults come from?
There are several very tall and large houses in the village. It is completely silent inside, without any movement at all, but there are many people standing there who look like guards.
“There is something wrong with this village.”
“The problem is still huge.”
"Is there someone locked up in that mansion or something?"
“I don’t know, but it feels like a big problem.”
A few people wanted to take a look around, but they didn't know what was going on until they looked.
I saw a few guys making something in the backyard.
Although they did not appear to be making weapons, the sound of "ding-dong-dong" echoed throughout the valley. They poured something unknown into the box, piece by piece, and it was impossible to tell what it was.
"Could it be privately minted coins?" Xin looked at the size of the small box, then at the shape of the small square, and then at the things in the hands of the big men.
"It doesn't look like metal, but it's too far away and I can't see clearly." Gu Qingyun's face was gloomy. It was scary no matter how he thought about it that there was a village with complete facilities so close to the capital.
"It shouldn't be privately minted, otherwise it would be too careless and so obvious." Wu Huan asked out the doubts in his heart.
"Is this lime?" Zhao Huaiqing couldn't help but ask.
Everyone held their breath and looked down, they saw a few men take out the processed small cubes, hit them with hammers, and the small cubes separated into several small lumps.
Lime? It does look a bit like lime, but why do they make lime like this?
The size is too small to be conveniently made into bricks, so why is it broken into pieces?
At this moment, Gu Qingyun remembered the sign at the door, "Heaven and Earth Sect, could it be used to make pills?"
Everyone looked at each other and thought it made sense. The men brought out a furnace and said, "They are really making elixirs..."
