"Peng! Peng Peng!"

"Who?"

"Master! Xiaosheng and his friends passed by here for the exam. Seeing that it was already getting late, so I asked for a night's accommodation. I hope the master will be convenient!"

"...You guys come in." Putting the mace back on his waist, Deng Feiyu slowly opened the door and let everyone in, "This is a ruined temple, and I'm staying overnight."

"Oh, that's how it is. It's a fate to meet, I'm Liu Pinyan, how dare I ask your brother's name?" Vigorously shaking off the dust on his clothes, the white-faced scholar said politely like a smiling spring breeze.

"I'm Deng Feiyu."

"That's Brother Deng, Brother Deng, please forgive me for being so abrupt, look at Brother Deng, who is so upright and upright, he doesn't look like a student rushing for an exam, why did he end up in this small temple in the wilderness?" His eyes flickered across his waist , Seeing Deng Feiyu's hesitation, Liu Pinyan hurriedly added, "Hehe, a group of poor scholars are out of the house, it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous, they are so rude, so I hope Brother Deng will not be offended." The color of sincerity.

"It's okay, I'm an arrester from the county government. I came back late from handling the case, so I had to stay here overnight." He waved his hand indifferently. He was familiar with this kind of thing, so naturally he didn't take it to heart.

"I didn't expect Brother Deng to be a member of the government. I really don't know Taishan." His tone became respectful in an instant, and he hurriedly called the three people who were carefully packing their luggage to his side, "These three belong to Xiaosheng. Fellow friends Fan Yi, Li Minsheng, and Du Haoran; Brother Fan, Brother Li, Brother Du, this is Deng Feiyu, Detective Deng."

"Meet Detective Deng."

After bowing their hands and saluting, both parties went to rest after a few words of politeness. They sat cross-legged on the pile of straw. What interested Deng Feiyu a little bit was that among the four people, not all of them were frail scholars with no strength to restrain a chicken. That Fan Yi Although he looks the most delicate and thin, he is actually an out-and-out practitioner. Although he tries his best to hide it, his walking pace and posture are not fake at all.

As the dusk deepened, light rain fell outside the temple, and the water droplets fell along the tile cracks on the futon under the Buddha statue, crackling, which was especially clear in the quiet ancient temple; "Huhu~" the broken window paper was hit by the cold wind Let out bursts of whimpering, listen carefully, there is a faint rustling sound slowly approaching.

"Roar!"

"Ha~yawn~"

Fingers broke the wind, and a low-pitched wail came from outside the temple, and the rustling sound became more and more messy in an instant, "Peng!" However, the moment Deng Feiyu closed his eyes, behind the Buddha statue, a gloomy green light disappeared in a flash, quickly disappearing into the boundless darkness...

The next day, the sky is still dark

In order to avoid delaying time, Deng Feiyu didn't wait for the scholars to wake up. Early in the morning, Deng Feiyu cautiously left the temple gate, rode his horse and galloped for more than half an hour, and finally arrived in front of the agreed inn.

"Oh, spectator, you've been exhausted all this way, hurry up, I'll wait for you to come in and have a rest!"

As soon as he got off the horse, the honest and energetic Xiaoer immediately surrounded him, and without any explanation, he called Deng Feiyu and walked into the inn; he walked through the front yard and into the backyard, and saw a tall and thin man with a green face and beardless holding an iron basin, standing The middle of the courtyard kept yelling something, and seeing someone coming, he hurriedly trotted forward to greet him, "The villain Gao Tongfu, isn't he the shopkeeper of this store, may I ask you, the guest officer, to be a top player or to stay in the store?"

"Shopkeeper, I wonder if there has ever been a girl this tall and dressed in purple living in the store today?" After looking around, but not finding any trace of Zhuifeng, Deng Feiyu already had a conclusion in his mind; "The girl in purple... ...I'm sorry, guest officer, the location of the shop is remote, and there are not many customers all day long, but I haven't seen the one you mentioned before." Shaking his head, the man apologized.

"It's okay, thank you shopkeeper, please open a guest room for me, and buy some food and drinks to deliver to the room." Seeing this man's honest face, I couldn't help but feel a little closer in my heart, and paid the silver taels, but saw that he was always there. Holding the iron basin in his hand, Deng Feiyu couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you doing, shopkeeper?"

"Hey! Look at my memory! I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me." He slapped his head, and the man grinned in embarrassment. I used it to feed the wild cats and dogs in the village, and I forgot about it after I was busy today." After saying that, he slammed the iron basin twice, and several dirty wild cats rushed out from the corner of the wall immediately. , scrambling to be the first to gather around the feet, meowing and begging for food.

"Eat, eat, hey~ I see you are hungry." Putting the basin on the ground, suddenly remembered something, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Deng Feiyu who had turned around and was about to leave, "I'm sorry, sir, I forgot to tell you, because I am a small believer in Buddhism, so this shop does not provide any meat, and I grow some vegetables and beans at home, please forgive me."

"Then... just give me some as you see fit. Not to mention, the green vegetables in this field are really strong. I must have spent a lot of thought on weekdays." When I go to the countryside to do as the Romans do, I naturally don't care about these things. Kong looked at the several vegetable fields of different sizes in the corner of the yard, and casually smiled.

"Haha, what's the trouble? Isn't it the Bodhisattva's blessing for anyone who stutters in the small shop in the mountains? Come on, please treat yourself in the room, and the drinks and vegetables will be delivered right away!" The servant led the way for Deng Feiyu, the shopkeeper clapped his hands, picked up the clean iron basin that had been licked, and walked towards the back kitchen humming a little tune.

"Your shopkeeper is really pious~" Chatting with the boy while going upstairs, the kid looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, dark and thin, but exudes the unique spirit of a mountain baby, after hearing this , and immediately opened the chatter box, "Tell you, our shopkeeper is a good man from ten miles and eight towns. How do you say it in those words? Well, that's sweeping the floor without hurting the lives of ants, cherishing the moth veil lamp, Don't drink alcohol, don't eat meat, there is no one who is softer than him."

"It's a pity..." Shaking his head helplessly, the young servant couldn't help showing regret, "Such a good person just refuses to get married, even if these matchmakers from all over the world break through the door, there are only four of us shopkeepers." Words, dedicated to the Buddha. You said he didn't plan to become a monk, why did he have to be like this?"

"This...Maybe your shopkeeper wants to make more money while you are young, but you don't have that thought yet." After thinking about it, Deng Feiyu said casually.

"Earn more money? Shhh, I'm not afraid to tell you that even the pot for feeding the dog in our shopkeeper is made of gold!" Looking around for a while, the boy deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I drank too much water that day and peed at night. In a hurry, I went to pee in the vegetable field. Guess what, I saw the shopkeeper holding the pot from a distance, ouch, as soon as the bottom of the dirty pot was removed, it instantly turned yellow and golden. The light almost caught my eyes Blind!"

"And this thing?"

"Here! Tianzi No. [-] room, guest officer, please come inside!" Unbelievable, just about to ask more clearly, the voice of Muran interrupted his thoughts, and looked up, but he had already arrived at the door of the guest room.

"Well, you go down first." He rewarded two copper coins casually, and closed the door. Deng Feiyu sat alone at the table and sipped tea. After a while, he heard "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A burst of fine footsteps came from There was a sound coming from the roof, and then, a few gusts of cold wind blew on the neck, but a lavender figure stood in front of him in the blink of an eye!

"Are you back?" Without looking sideways, Deng Feiyu still poured his drink calmly, "Hee hee, I met an old friend on the way back and couldn't help chatting a little more, brother, please spare me this time~" Mei His eyes rolled around, shining brightly, and he fell down on the chair, Bai Leyao said with a smile.

"Old friends? Almost everyone you can call old friends has gone in, right?" Snorting coldly, he thought that he still didn't know the little tricks in this girl's heart, but Deng Feiyu didn't intend to pursue it any further, so he took it out from his arms. A map, "Have you been playing again? How is the case going?"

"Don't make a proposal first, brother, I haven't seen you for a long time~ By the way, I heard that you brought back a child from Wu Desi, what's going on? Tell me quickly. You don't know, this Staying in Lin Xi for a few months, I'm bored to death, the people in the government office are simply..."

"cough!"

"Line, there are clues, but they can't be confirmed for the time being..."

"Huh?" The eyebrows were raised slightly, but Bai Leyao's delicate body trembled inaudibly for an instant; "Master, senior brother, the case this time is really too weird. Every missing person seems to have evaporated from the world. Leaving traces, dead body is not seen, just like the legends, he strayed into the Netherworld by mistake and was taken away by black and white impermanence..." Seeing that the senior brother was really a little angry this time, sticking out his tongue like a kitten , Bai Leyao hesitated.

"Nonsense, there are no ghosts and ghosts in this world! Give me the case." He took the case and glanced over it casually, and all kinds of things were in his heart. I didn't report it in time, but waited until several villages under my rule were reduced to dead villages before responding, so it is totally against common sense, Le Yao, you have checked..."

"Grumpy~"

"Hey... I have consumed a lot these days, I may be hungry again..."

Before the hand holding the teacup was put down, the pink earlobe was soaked in crimson color at a speed visible to the naked eye; "Well, I checked! Due to the transfer of officials, the previous Fengze county magistrate resigned and the new county magistrate took office. There was a vacancy of more than a month, so during this more than a month, the entire Fengze County was almost in a state of no control, and no one paid any attention to the reports of the villagers." Seeing the hairy with Deng Feiyu's playful eyes, he laughed at both of them. Voice, Bai Leyao pretended to be calm.

"Hey...Really, why can't you change your sloppy habit?" A touch of love and affection floated into his eyes, and he lost his temper immediately after being made such a fuss by this girl, and called the servant to bring food and eat. After drinking enough, the two met and went to Fengze County early tomorrow morning to find out.

In the twinkling of an eye, the moon rises in the sky, and everything in the inn is silent, except for the cold wind blowing the treetops and making a light rustling sound. In the darkness, a bamboo tube carefully pierced the window paper, and the blue smoke fluttered and dissipated. Listen carefully and confirm the room After there was no more sound from inside, the man in black tiptoed in, and immediately slashed his sharp blade, slashing at Deng Feiyu's neck without hesitation!
