General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

On the red clay stove, the teapot is still steaming.

It was snowing in the courtyard.

Master Jingxin sighed softly, clasped his hands together and sang "My Buddha is merciful", raised his hand and said: "Since that day, my old monk has sealed it there."

Following the direction of Master Jingxin, in the courtyard, white snow is flying, with withered vines and old trees, sitting alone.

Huo Changying put on his veiled hat, walked slowly to the bottom of the bodhi tree, and looked down at the bodhi demon sitting under the tree with his knees hugged.

Flipping the seal in his hand, Huo Changying blinked to hide the pity in his eyes.

He asked lightly, "Is it worth it?"

The bodhi demon, who was trapped by the vajra mantra, temporarily suppressed his demonic nature, and looked up at Huo Changying in confusion as if he was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child on his immature face.

With a silly smile, there was a slight dimple on the corner of his lips, "Is Master giving a lecture today?"

Huo Changying took a deep breath, the cold wind entered into his lungs and it was icy cold, he smiled and blinked slowly, and said, "Let's talk about the scriptures today."

Before he finished speaking, golden light instantly enveloped Bodhi Demon's body. He raised his hand to cover Bodhi Demon's eyes. With the sound of incantations in his mouth, the blue-black demonic energy was drawn from the Bodhi Spirit Platform and wrapped around his body in an instant.

A moment later, Huo Changying's index finger tapped on Bodhi Yao's eyebrows, and the lingering green and black demon energy exploded in all directions!

The snow rolled up, and for a moment, the wind stopped.

"Forget about the past, and be a demon."

The light and fluttering words seemed to be scattered like flying snow, and disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Master Jingxin walked up to the confused Bodhi demon, shook his head and sighed, sang a Buddhist mantra, raised his hand and waved: "Leave, and practice freely."

"Do not."

The bodhi demon raised his face, a small dimple formed on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were curved: "I'll just wait here,"

There seemed to be water marks on the immature face, "In the next life, I can still listen to the master's lectures!" In the blink of an eye, there was a pure and bright smiling face again.

Master Jingxin was slightly surprised, but he understood for a moment. He turned his head to look at the figure winding away in the snow, and sighed indistinctly. That person had no memory of taking Bodhi away.

But for Bodhi, is it punishment or mercy?

The old man clasped his hands together: "Amitabha."

Waiting for reincarnation under the bodhi tree, if there is a destiny, see you in the next life.

After Huo Changying left, Master Jingxin sat back on the futon and cooked and drank tea. A young monk walked up to him and said in a low voice, "Master, the things are here."

Master Jingxin nodded, took a pair of scrolls from the monk's hand, and waved his hand to make people leave.

This scroll is exactly the Danqing that once hung in Master Jingyuan's room.

Carefully unfold the scroll—on the old yellow paper, the distant mountains look like Daisy, and the courtyard is deep, but there is no one in it!

The old monk sighed, slowly rolled up the scroll and put it away, seemingly inadvertently looking at the distance, the Bodhi under the tree laughed like a fool, sighed, and shook his head slowly.

Huo Changying came out of Jiming Temple, and refused to go back to the mansion in a sedan chair. He did it today to take advantage of the momentum of Xiao Duo's imperial army commander, and it was useless to go back to the mansion at this time.

Walking on the street, thinking of the wonton that Xiao Duo ate that day, he wanted to eat another bowl, but suddenly bumped into a person, and his wrist was firmly grasped.

"Beauty, where are you going?"

Words of molesting the folk girl Deng Tuzi suddenly sounded in the playbook, and Huo Changying twitched the corners of his mouth under the hood.

Looking up, there was a young man in his twenties, dressed luxuriously, and the jade pendant around his waist was engraved with rich and noble cloud patterns. breath, followed by several strong servants.

"You are so beautiful, tsk tsk, your muscles and bones are not weak." Rubbing Huo Changying's wrist, the corner of the young man's lips curled into a lewd smile: "Show me, isn't this face more beautiful than Tianxianglou's?" The oiran lady is still seductive." As he spoke, the man raised his hand and wanted to lift Huo Changying's veil.

With a familiar look, it seems that he has been doing bully things a lot, Huo Changying squinted his eyes, turned his other wrist under his wide sleeve to pick up the yellow talisman, and was about to recite the mantra.

"Let go of Madam!" Someone shouted from behind.

Hearing this, the forehead twitched again, and Huo Changying didn't turn his head back, thinking to himself that it must be some kind of hero to save the beauty?

"Beauty, you can inquire about my master's name in Yong'an City," the young man said lewdly as he tugged on Huo Changying, and the burly servants surrounded him and booed, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

The corner of Huo Changying's lips curled into a mocking smile, and as he continued to cast spells, the yellow talisman quietly stuck to the disciple's back, disappearing for a moment.

The man touched Huo Changying's sharp eyes through the white gauze, couldn't help but tremble, and then became angry from embarrassment:

"If you don't go with me, I will let your whole family—ah!"

In an instant, the man who was still holding Huo Changying's wrist turned blue, let go of his hand abruptly, pointed at Huo Changying as if he had seen something sinister and yelled tremblingly: "Ghost, there is a ghost!", and ran back like hell He ran into a passing young woman in a hurry, and the man was startled and yelled "Ghost, ghost!" and ran away.

All the servants chased after the man and ran away with bewildered faces.

When the people who saw the uneven road behind rushed over, Huo Changying clapped his hands lazily, smoothed his wrinkled sleeves, and was ready to eat wontons.

"Husband, madam."

Zhao Cheng, who ran over, panted and bent over to support his knees: "I, I watched my wife being bullied from a distance, but I didn't expect that man to run away!" He was quite annoyed in his words.

Huo Changying's forehead twitched. It was Zhao Cheng, so he asked, "Why don't you follow the general?"

Zhao Chengzheng looked sideways at the young man's back, scratched his head in doubt and muttered, "Why does it look familiar?" Hearing Huo Changying's question, he hurriedly said, "The general asked me to come to Jiming Temple to find my wife. I'm afraid only the lady I can solve it."

Huo Changying thought for a while, Xiao Duo called him by name, something troublesome must have happened, presumably it must have been something that very people have seen, it is very likely to be related to ghosts, so he nodded and said: "Take me to see the general."

Zhao Cheng responded, put aside his previous doubts, and led the way respectfully, without a trace of the arrogance he had when he first met, Huo Changying's lips curled up in a funny way under the white gauze veil.

However, Zhao Cheng led the way not to the Duke's Mansion, but directly to the city gate.

Jiming Temple is located in Xinchangfang, which is only a few streets away from the East Gate. The two of them walked there in a short time.

Not far away, Xiao Duo was talking to the soldiers guarding the city. Zhao Cheng ran a few steps over and whispered something in Xiao Duo's ear. Xiao Duo's face darkened, he turned around and saw Huo Changying, and strode over .

"Xiao Duo, what happened, oh..."

Before he finished speaking, he was caught off guard by the man and pulled him into his arms vigorously. Huo Changying's chin rested slightly on Xiao Duo's shoulder, not knowing what happened to this man.

Raising his hand to pat Xiao Duo's shoulder, Huo Changying pursed his lips and joked, "What's the matter, General, it's like this in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that there will be more rumors between the two of us? Ah, yes, I heard about it a few days ago Already, Yongan City is spreading the general..."

"Worried about you," Xiao Duo buried in the boy's neck, interrupting Huo Changying's chanting with a muffled voice.

"Merry whores—ah, what did you say?" Huo Changying picked out his ears, he seemed to be hallucinating just now.

Xiao Duo let go of Huo Changying, clenched his fist and coughed lightly on his lips uncomfortably, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I heard from Zhao Cheng that you were stopped by someone on the road, trying to be frivolous?"

Huo Changying stroked his sleeves and waved his hands nonchalantly, "I'm not a woman, so what are you afraid of!"

Seeing Xiao Duo's face suddenly turning black, he hurriedly added: "It's just a low-ranking apprentice," said with a smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes and said: "Why, the general is worried about me, or is he worried about the general's wife?" 'What about being underestimated?"

Xiao Duo: "..." His ears turned red, he rubbed his fingers behind his back a few times, and his brows were tightly frowned, "The relationship in Yong'an City is complicated, there are many dignitaries, and there are probably people you knew in the past. Do not expose, in case—"

"Nothing in case,"

Huo Changying shook his closed folding fan, and smiled slyly: "I'm the only magic stick in Yong'an City!"

Xiao Duo's brows twitched, he didn't know why he felt those two words were harsh, as if he was mocking his incompetence in the past, failing to protect the baby.

"Okay," Huo Changying said seriously, "Why did General Xiao find you here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Duo told Huo Changying carefully about the recent rat disaster in Yong'an City, which he was ordered to investigate thoroughly this morning.

"Rat plague?"

Huo Changying raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask the commander of the Imperial Army for this kind of thing? Are the Jingzhaoyin yamen, the three provinces and the six ministries all free?"

Xiao Duo was silent, just when Huo Changying thought it was another little secret between him and His Majesty, the man said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu recently encountered a difficult case, he wanted to report it to Dali Temple, but was intercepted by the superior, and the clone It's exhausting."

"So," Huo Changying smiled, "the emperor assigned this job to you, General Changfeng? Catching mice, is this using you as a cat?" He said in his heart that this old ancestor of his family is really————————————————————————

Xiao Duo: "..."

The East City Gate is the closest to the imperial city and the lanes where the rich and powerful live.

It is also the place where the rat disaster is the worst.

Around the city gate, the imperial guards were stationed neatly, with black armor embroidered with gold knives, and the air of iron and blood all over them, directly compared the dusty soldiers guarding the east city gate to the dust.

Huo Changying stared at these young imperial guards, and thought to himself, they are indeed under the command of General Changfeng Xiao Duo, who once fought with Xiao Duo in Goguryeo, and will be a good man to pacify Mobei in the future!

In the last years of the Great Yin Dynasty, the style of luxury and beauty was prevalent, military generals in the court were rare, and there were even fewer iron-blooded men. Even Li Dezhong, the chief servant in the deep palace, often lamented that "after Zhaozong, there will be no great generals". The suppression of the rebel army was defeated thousands of miles away, and it took less than a month from the rebellion of the rebels to the capture of the imperial city. The weak Great Yin court had no power to resist.

Thinking about it, Huo Changying's eyes dimmed under the white gauze hat.

"lady!"

The soldiers shouted in unison to bring Huo Changying back from his old thoughts, and the guardsmen on both sides of the city gate saluted him when they saw him.

Huo Changying's footsteps paused slightly, and then he turned his head to the side with a sharp eye.

In that room, General Xiao with a serious face was nodding at the imperial army, Xiao Duo caught a glimpse of the young man's sharp gaze from the corner of his eye, and rubbed his hands behind his back, pretending not to know.

"General!"

Zhao Cheng ran over from one side of the city wall and said respectfully: "Several mouse holes were found at the base of the city wall. No wonder the brothers surrounded them day and night without seeing any shadows. How dare the rats hide in the dark!" Zhao Cheng sighed.

Xiao Duo frowned, Huo Changying also felt that something was wrong at this time, and tapped the folding fan on the palm of his hand: "In the long run, the foundation of the city wall will probably be eaten away."

When the two walked away, they realized that it was far more serious than what Zhao Cheng said.

At the base of the wall covered by withered grass, countless mouse holes are densely distributed.

Xiao Duo squatted down, stretched out his hands to pick up the soil on the cave wall, and ground it carefully between his fingers, it turned out that it was all fresh soil.

"not simple,"

Huo Changying looked at the small hole in the corner of the wall, and tapped his chin with a folding fan: "The walls of Yong'an City are well constructed, and it is impossible for ordinary mice to make so many interconnected holes in a short period of time."

"Shh-"

Xiao Duo stood up, frowned and wanted to say something, when Changying showed a familiar mocking expression, his slender white index finger was pressed against the corner of his raised lips, his eyes flashed narrowly, and he said something softly.

"General, you have demonic aura!"

Xiao Duo: "..." His forehead twitched suddenly.

Suddenly, a familiar breath came from behind, Huo Changying put away his teasing, turned his eyes sharply to the corner of the wall.

I saw that in the corner, the wall was loose, as if something was arching outwards in the wall.

He walked there with light steps, and the corners of his lips gradually curved into a cold arc.

Suddenly, the soil on the wall loosened, and a small milky white claw protruded out, scraping the soil outwards, and then the soft and furry little round buttocks, and the little round tail cocked up.

The round body seemed to be stuck by the opening of the hole, twisting and twisting and arching out of the hole with difficulty.

Huo Changying frowned, twisted her wrist lightly and pinched the fan, and took the little thing into her palm.

In the palm, the little pale yellow fur ball was in shock, holding its little paws, staring blankly at the beauty in front of her who curled her lips and smiled lightly.

Tilting his little head: "Gee?"

The author has something to say:

small theater

Zhao Cheng: Let go of that lady!

Xiao Duo: Huh?

Zhao Cheng: ... General, I was wrong, I was wrong, you come here, hehehe
