Lu Zhaoling said very seriously, "Old man, my surname is Lu, I am here to show my respect, I am from the Xuanmen."

It’s time to release the name of the master’s school.

Anyway, she and her senior fellow apprentice have decided that no matter whether the master will appear in the future, they will rebuild Zunyi Temple in the Great Zhou and establish their sect again.

Moreover, regardless of whether the master is alive or not, his name will continue to be on the position of the abbot of the temple. In the future, they will accept younger brothers and sisters instead of disciples. After all, as a master, the responsibility is heavier.

"Expand branches and leaves" for the master.

(Yin Yunting: Master, I have never used this word.)

The old man was at a loss for a moment. They had never heard of Zun Yiguan, and they didn't know any of the people from Xuanmen.

However, it is enough to just know that he is an expert.

"Master Lu, we all know that you just saved us."

The old man added, "Those who massacred the village did not search or rob anything, but when the officials came into the village to clean up and deal with the situation, they took away every valuable thing from every household."

He sighed, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, "We don't have anything to give you."

The others also looked at each other, somewhat ashamed.

Lu Zhaoling felt a little sad when she saw them like this.

The villagers of Cuosha Village all seem to be simple and kind-hearted. How can we say that they have done something wrong in their previous lives when they encountered such a disaster?

"Uncle, you don't have to give me anything. I'm not here for reward."

Although Lu Zhaoling said this, the villagers still looked guilty. In the end, she could only tell the truth.

"Old man, in fact, if I do a good job here, the emperor will reward me."

"emperor?"

The villagers were shocked.

"Master, can you see the Emperor?"

"Yes, I can. Even if I don't meet the emperor myself, I can still meet the King of Jin. Have you heard of the King of Jin?"

Lu Zhaoling originally thought that they would not know the King of Jin. After all, this place was so far away from the capital. Zhou Shiyue had been traveling outside in the past few years. Apart from the dignitaries in the capital, people in such a remote village might not have heard of him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished her words, a ghost floated out from the crowd and suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Prince Jin? Can I see Prince Jin? I have something important to tell him!"

The ghost was very excited.

He had been unconscious before and followed the villagers in a daze. When he heard Lu Zhaoling mention Prince Jin, the two words "Prince Jin" pierced his heart at once and he suddenly woke up.

Lu Zhaoling looked at him.

I saw that his eyes were big and bulging, his double eyelids were very deep, and his face was slightly round.

She paused, "Brother Frog?"

The ghost's eyes widened in fright, and indeed looked a bit like frog eyes.

"How do you know my nickname? Can you, the people of Xuanmen, use other people's nicknames?"

Frog Brother was so shocked that he almost prostrated himself before Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Lu Yuan, he told me."

"Xiao Lu," Brother Frog was still impressed by her, "I didn't expect that you have such a wide network of contacts. From the palace to the border military camps, you know people there."

"Why do you want to see King Jin?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

When Brother Frog heard her ask this, he hesitated for a moment, then said to her, "Master, I'm really sorry, can I talk to King Jin first? This matter is very serious, I've been holding it in for so long, and I can't just talk about it now."

He hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't believe you, Master. It's just that this is a military matter, and you may not understand it..."

Lu Zhaoling didn't force him.

"Okay, then I'll let you meet King Jin, and you can talk to him in person then."

"Great, thank you Master!"

Brother Frog was very excited. He had never thought that he would be able to meet King Jin one day, and that he would have a chance to tell the things he had kept secret until his death.

Lu Zhaoling originally wanted to find Brother Frog to inquire about the village and the military camp, but now he didn't have to look for him anymore because he came out on his own. That was perfect.

"Then think carefully about what happened before the massacre."

All the people were thinking hard.

Brother Frog was also thinking about it. He turned his gaze to a middle-aged man next to him and suddenly remembered something.

"Master, I remembered one thing, but I don't know if it's unusual."

"You said."

Brother Frog pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "He had just arrived in our village, three days before the massacre. He is the only person we can remember who had just arrived in the village in the past two years."

All the villagers looked at the man.

The middle-aged man looked up in astonishment and pointed at himself, "Me?"

The villagers also reacted, but many of them spoke for the middle-aged man.

"Wasn't he killed too? If there was something wrong with him, he would have run away."

"Yes, this matter should have nothing to do with Uncle Yao Gen."

A middle-aged woman wiped her tears and said, "Yao Gen came to live with me. He used to live in the city. I have known him for a long time. He was just a peddler and did nothing else."

It turned out that Yao Gen was a man who used to sell goods in the border town by carrying a load on his shoulder. The woman occasionally came into the town and met him by chance.

The woman's husband died of illness a few years ago, and her daughter is already married. Yao Gen's wife ran away with someone before, and his son also despised him for being incompetent and didn't know where to run off to.

After the two met and interacted with each other a few times, they came up with the idea of ​​living together.

The house Yao Gen lived in in the city was very shabby and could not withstand the wind and snow in the winter, so after marrying the woman, he moved into Cuosha Village.

As a result, just three days after moving in, he encountered the tragic massacre of the entire village, and he and his wife died here.

The woman grabbed Yao Gen's arm, feeling very guilty.

"If he hadn't married me, and if I hadn't persuaded him to live in the village, he would have been fine, and would still be doing business in the city."

Yao Gen patted the back of her hand.

"How can you be blamed for this? You didn't know this would happen. Anyway, we are married, and it's good to have someone to walk with on the road to the underworld."

Some of their neighbors also spoke well of Yao Gen.

"Uncle Yao Gen is a nice person."

Brother Frog waved his hands, "I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Uncle Yao Gen."

Everyone was stunned.

"I mean, didn't everyone go to the wedding banquet on the day when Uncle Yao Gen got married?"

"Correct."

"Because it was a wedding, we set off firecrackers, remember?"

After hearing what Brother Frog said, many people remembered.

"Yes, yes, yes. When the firecrackers went off, for some reason a lot of wild rabbits appeared all over the village!"

Lu Zhaoling was stunned for a moment.

"Hare?"

She never thought of it, how could it be a rabbit? Shouldn't the thing that was startled out of the village be a mouse?

"Yes, it's a rabbit."
