I played as an assistant in ancient times

"Oh, it's probably this thing. I picked it up from the alchemy residue in Taixu Temple last time." Shen Changsui took out an irregular green stone the size of a thumb from his waist.

Zhao Xiaoqi took a closer look and found that it was a piece of fluorite. This thing is said to be a medicine. Some of it will glow at night if exposed to the sun for a long time.

He nodded, stepped back and said, "Shen Tongsheng, you should go to the Taoist temple to pray. What kind of troubles have you encountered recently when you go out?"

"Thank you Zhao Xiaoqi for your understanding." Shen Changsui paused and said, "I wonder if Uncle Zhuang..."

"Stop, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Zhao Xiaoqi thought that it was because of the boy in front of him that his team had found a clue after searching in Panshan for several times without success, so he said after a moment's silence: "So far, the bank has little to do with this.

But whether the arson case investigated by County Magistrate Tan is related to it is unknown at this time, so you should just take care of yourself."

After saying that, he walked towards the room opposite to rest.

Shen Changsui returned to his room with an oil lamp in his hand to wash up. He also warned the cat that had its head out from under the bed sheet, "A martial arts expert is staying here, so don't move around."

He took the opportunity to take off his coat to quickly read the letter written by Xiaoye, then handed it back and put it away, saying, "Do as she says, but it would be better to find a female leopard and put it in a cave on the mountain top of Cui Jundian."

"Not put it in the original place?" The little black cat's eyes suddenly widened. It asked, "How do you find it?"

Shen Changsui washed his feet and said, "We have disturbed the mother leopard's cave. When we filled it up, we even deliberately used stones to scrape down a large area of ​​soil. Only you two can no longer dig holes and fill the boxes.

Find a new hole, the cloth used to bandage its wound, and some thread... "He paused, but then thought that this would not be a good idea, as it would be easy for others to find out the problem when they searched the mountain tomorrow. So he said, "It doesn't matter, as long as we know that we are on that hill, we can find it even without any signs.

After it is done, you don't need to look for me anymore. Take it back to the mountain in the village, choose a place to stay temporarily, and let Xiaoye show it the little leopard at any time.

I believe you will find a suitable place to hide."

"..." Little Black Cat didn't believe in himself, and didn't understand why he believed it.

Of course, its potential is still not small. After slipping away before dawn, it found the mother leopard soon after, and then the two cleverly sneaked into Cui Jun Temple halfway up another hill.

There are only two elderly temple keepers guarding the temple. It is quite quiet and desolate.

After searching everywhere, the two clever people, one big and one small, managed to push the three boxes into a small cave behind a small wooden statue in the back mountain.

The little black cat even blocked the hole with the little wooden statue and said, "It's just enough to fit three in."

Then they sailed away. Just as a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, they emerged from Wuzhong Mountain and headed towards Jiuli Village along the path that the little black cat had taken.

Shen Xiaoye woke up after a night of drowsiness, completely unaware that the little black cat was sneaking around with a bigger "tabby cat" in broad daylight.

She watched her uncle hurriedly driving the car to look for her grandfather. It was pointless to follow him, and the housework had to be finished as soon as possible.

So he didn't practice martial arts again, but called his cousin to help him pour out the jars of blue water.

Finally, dig out the precipitated indigo mud from the bottom of the jar, filter out the water, and then pile it into a clean tank for storage.

At this point, the production of two or three hundred kilograms of indigo has been completed. If you want to dry it and store it, you need to dry it in the sun, but Shen Xiaoye is no longer in the mood for that.

She needed to sort and dye the cloth she received as quickly as possible, and spent the whole morning dyeing it with boiling hematoxylin water.

At noon, when she asked the women in the village to take the dyed cloth to be rinsed, she saw her grandfather and uncle coming back with relaxed expressions, and Uncle He and Uncle Qian Wu were also in the car. She then asked, "Did you find it?"

"With Mr. Pan." My grandfather was found by Captain Lu and a soldier when he was asking around along the official road. They said they came early in the morning before dawn to report that Sui Ge'er was safe and brought a letter.

Shen Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that Xiao Xuanmao had probably found his uncle, "Where are the village head grandfather and fifth aunt?"

Grandpa dropped off the other two people at the intersection and asked her to get in and go home together: "He said we can only pick him up after Sui Ge'er comes back, and Captain Lu also said that he is staying in the guesthouse and eating well, so it's okay.

As for the fifth aunt, she couldn't get into the county government office yesterday afternoon, so she went on a boat to visit some relatives, and she hasn't come back yet."

"She alone?"

"The young man from a wealthy family is following. It won't be too far, otherwise it would be impossible to go without a guide.

You don't have to worry about him. While your uncle is not out on the expedition, hurry up and dye the cloth."

"Okay." Shen Xiaoye took the letter and opened it impatiently. She was very happy to see that her uncle was safe, but there was no hint of the little black cat on it.

When she was puzzled, her grandmother Lin was even more puzzled than her at night, "Xiaoye, the cat has not been seen for a whole day, where did it go?"

"Maybe." Just as Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, a meow was heard, and the little black cat appeared in front of him again in a disheveled state.

The whole family looked at it: "Could it be that it has entered the mountains?"

"Meow meow..." The little black cat called pitifully and helplessly, but he couldn't shed any tears of sorrow.

After washing, drying and feeding it, Shen Xiaoye realized what this guy had done.

It and the big leopard were discovered halfway on the road. Some people were scared away while others were brave enough to chase them.

The two animals had no choice but to run back to the forest quickly. After a while, they lost their way a little bit. It was not until it got dark that they returned through the forest and came back along the official road.

Shen Xiaoye said: "In fact, you can enter Fushan from Wuzhong Mountain, and then directly come to the forest behind the village."

“I’ve never been there, and Leopard Mom doesn’t know which mountain Jiuli Village is.

It didn't come in a straight line last time, maybe it took a longer detour." The little black cat felt very aggrieved.

But Shen Changsui felt more aggrieved than it. He had clearly agreed to find a cave on the mountain of Cui Jundian, but he and the people who were searching here didn't find anything.

Staying overnight in the mountains, he couldn't help but stand outside to enjoy the cool breeze, and was very impressed by the place where the little black cat hid his things.

As he was sighing, Taoist Master Hengxi, who had been invited back, came over and said, "I have lived in the mountains for many years, and I didn't even know that someone had hidden something in Wuzhong Mountain."

Shen Changsui regained his concentration and said, "There are many caves in the mountain. Can you guarantee that you have been to every cave?"

"Of course not." Hengxi looked at him for a few times and thought that this young man was very good at hiding things. He didn't show any sign of picking up a scimitar in front of his elder brother that day.

Shen Changsui felt uncomfortable being stared at by him: "Master?"

Just as he said this, he heard someone shout, "Found it, found it, several boxes."

The two of them ran straight to the source of the sound. Shen Changsui saw the three familiar boxes and felt a little happy. The next moment, he heard Zhao Xiaoqi say, "Search here carefully again."

The soldiers and a team of imperial guards dispersed immediately, and Zhao Xiaoqi also came over to ask, "Master Hengxi, could you please investigate whether there are any hidden mysteries inside and outside this temple?"

"This... is not under my jurisdiction, so please don't be presumptuous."

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. This is a matter of great importance. We have already issued orders to investigate any location."

Taoist Priest Hengxi looked at Shen Changsui and nodded helplessly. It would have been better if the young Taoist friend had told him a day or two earlier. His senior brother who was good at geomancy just happened to come to Beijing the day before yesterday.
