Fang Chang left Lizhou and headed south.

From here, the sky and the earth suddenly changed again. The ground was uneven inch, the mountains and valleys were deep, the strange peaks and rocks were endless, and the monkeys and birds were singing endlessly.

It is the cold winter, and the mountains and rivers are covered with plain scenery.

The large-scale snowfall a few days ago put on silver makeup on the plants, trees, mountains and rocks. The wind blew and snow rolled. It could accumulate several feet deep in some depressions, which was really difficult for pedestrians and vehicles to get away.

Fortunately, no one took huge risks to challenge the mountain roads, leaving this official road with no trace.

Fang Chang carried a package and an oil-paper umbrella, walked slowly among the mountains and steeply along the official road.

The depth of the snow had no effect on him. He stepped on the snow surface, and even the shallow traces were left, just like a man made of cotton.

If anyone in the martial arts world sees it, his eyes will turn green with envy, and then he will bow his head and hold his legs and refuse to let go.

At this time, he was watching the scene behind the snow, and was in high spirits. He sang with a gourd, his voice echoed in the mountains, scaring away many birds and beasts. However, the lyrics and tones were not in line with the situation, but some heroic songs he liked in his previous life, fortunately no one heard them on the road.

The matter in Lizhou has been concluded.

Fang Chang and Gu Shan jointly took a long list of monsters to Yongjia Prefecture and met the magistrate Qi Nan.

The latter was surprised to see the prisoners they had captured. After sending a service to clear the streets in front of the Chenghuang Temple, the three of them brought these monsters to visit the Chenghuang Temple.

When they learned that they were coming to the door, Wen Chenghuang appeared to meet.

The City God was very pleased with the results of the two and gave high praise. The first time he saw the gods appear to meet, the magistrate Qi was very excited and grateful.

Including Guo Da on the back of Gushan, the monsters were jointly imposed by Gushan and Wenchenghuang, and were cut into wild animals and released into mountains and fields, allowing them to survive and fend for punishment.

Due to the key role played in this incident, Wen Chenghuang's merits were longer than Gushan and Fang, which was directly beneficial to the cultivation of the gods.

This profound merit made Wen Chenghuang the most powerful god among the gods Fang Chang had ever seen.

The City God told them that he was preparing to communicate with his colleagues about this matter. Since he had no unified superior and could not leave his post without permission, he could only send a letter to inform the neighboring City God of Land and Mountain Gods, so that they could be vigilant and contact the practitioners in their respective territory in advance.

After leaving the city god together, Fang Chang warned the county magistrate Qi Nan:

"Qi Magistrate, although this incident has passed, we must guard against it. We must extract resources and strengthen the military preparations in the palace to prevent the people from being disturbed after the chaos."

Hearing the words, the magistrate bowed:

"Mr. Fang's words are reasonable. The subordinates will be careful of this matter. They are preparing to go to see the magistrate and discuss this matter with the magistrate."

"This peaceful scene in the mansion has condensed a lot of effort. If anyone wants to destroy all this, he will be the mortal enemy of the lower official!"

Fang Chang nodded:

"There will not be peace in the next few years. Magistrate Qi is more careful and take care of himself."

After leaving the Yongjia Prefecture Office, Fang Chang did not wait for the prefect's action, but said goodbye to Gushan directly.

Gushan was staring at Lizhou. I thought that after Lady Cai escaped, she would not dare to come back. After missing the constraints, the magistrate's aftermath should also be implemented smoothly.

When they parted with Gushan, the other party told Fang Chang:

"Mr. Fang, if you go back to Jingzhou next, it is better to go south from here and find a boat in Lianzhou, follow the river and go down the river. After getting ashore, you can return to Yunzhong Mountain from Xingqing Prefecture, which will be much smoother than rushing in the wind and snow."

Fang Chang acted according to his words and made this trip to the south.

…………

The scenery in Lianzhou is different.

The boundary of wind and snow seems to be here. Although the surrounding mountains and rivers are gray, there is a faint greenness that seeps out, bringing vitality.

The food here is also different. Since it is close to the south and near Shu, it is already a place for rice and fish. The staple food is rice. Is the fishery developed? Even the wine has different flavors. Fang Chang found a tavern and refilled the gourds he had drunk.

Rice wine is very cheap, the only shame is that the wine in this store has not been steamed, the degree is not high, and it tastes too fast.

You can hear the sound of rivers waving from a distance, but this river that goes straight into the East China Sea does not have a unified name, but is different from each section. The river in Lianzhou is called Dongxu River, which is very wide and passes south of the city. It can be transported and fished, and it is also the livelihood of a large population.

However, when we walked to the south of the city, we did not see any passenger ships, but a group of cargo ships were mooring here. The ship workers and laborers were carrying large bags of cargo up and down.

Fang Chang was confused and casually pulled a casual person beside him and asked:

"Brother, if I want to find a ferry, where are I going? Why is there nothing here?"

Seeing that Fang's appearance is so close to others, the other party told him:

"Is this guest coming from another place? But by chance, every day during the year, you can see many ferries taking care of work when you come here every day, but today is not possible. This day is when boatmen gather together to worship the river god. So there are no figures on the pier upstream and downstream, and it is deserted."

He bowed slightly and Fang Chang smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. If it weren't for what you said, I don't know what happened here... In addition, I don't know whether outsiders are allowed to watch their sacrificial scene?"

"Of course." The middle-aged man replied: "That's a lively place. There is nothing wrong with the left and right winter, and I usually hold it tight in the house. When encountering such a thing, of course I have to support the elderly and the young and go see it together."

"Every day, half of the vendors on the market are fewer, but when they go to the Jiang Temple, they are greedy for the many customers there and are willing to spend money, and they can make dozens of times the average profit, but this is only one day. The vendors call this day a 'little enrichment'."

"Fortunately, the prefectures and counties attach great importance to it every time, and they will send a large number of people to maintain order. Otherwise, if they look like the one inside, there will definitely be chaos..."

While speaking, he shook his head, as if he knew very much about the situation.

Farewell to the stranger who was guiding the way, Fang Chang planned to take a look.

After leaving the city, he spread his body in the snow everywhere, and quickly marched upwards. The road was very wide and smooth. There were quite a few people holding the elderly and young people on both sides to see the sacrificial scene.

The big path leads directly to the Jiangshen Temple. From the conversations of the passers-by next to it, I learned that this Jiangshen Temple is quite effective, and a wealthy family has built this road only after fulfilling their wishes.

There is the sound of silk, bamboo, gold and drums from afar, which is slightly rough, but also has a novel artistic conception.

The ceremony was grand. Because the number of boatmen and boatmen gathered together, there was a lot of money to organize this worship, so the conditions were pretty good. At least all the items were available in the ceremony and the offerings were very rich. Some scholars in the city were invited to write prayers.

Fang Chang found someone and asked, "Brother, I wonder when the end will be done?"
