Leyou said, taking out the fur that he peeled off before, "The fur of the wolverine is even more precious! Even in the case of very low temperature, the breath coming out of the mouth will not freeze, and it can still remain soft and dry .so great for a hood or collar! Here you go!"
Fu Shu took it and looked it over carefully: "The palace lord knows a lot! But what can such a treasure do for me?"
"God took it to make a decent robe!"
Fu Shu smiled: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your kindness! But I am a god, and I don't have cold and heat, so Palace Master should save it and make a piece of clothing!" He was about to hand it over.Le You refused to answer, "God take it! My family has a lot of fur."
Fu Shu stroked the snow-white wolverine fur lightly, not knowing what to think, and replied in a low voice: "Well, then I'll keep it."
"Can God make robes?"
"will not."
"Is there no one at home?"
"I will, but she's gone."
Leyou saw that Fu Shu had not shy away from mentioning the guy who caused chaos in the Six Realms before, but now he brought up his embarrassment again, saying: "God has not cleared up the suspicion of these two people, so I don't shy away from it. I am afraid that I will forget what they have done. What might you have done?"
"Palace Master! The suspicion is yours, not mine. If I don't mention it, you think I'm guilty. If I mention it, you think I'm pretending to be open. This is really embarrassing!"
Le Youben was just teasing him, and it seemed that he had a villainous heart when he said that.Turn over the meat on the shelf, cut a piece for Fushu, "God eat it first if you're hungry."
Fu Shu took it, tore off a small piece, tasted it carefully, and remained silent for a while.Leyou asked him: "Why, isn't it delicious?"
Fu Shu said, "It's delicious!"
Leyou tore off a piece from Fushu's hand and tasted it himself, "I heard that the whole body of the wolverine is precious, but the meat is not very good, it's a waste!"
"Don't waste it, you can eat it!"
Le You grabbed the meat in Fu Shu's hand and said, "Don't eat it! I'll hunt two more pheasants." Then he released Hui Yi and asked, "Xiao Yi, are you hungry?"
Yi Yi drooled looking at the wolverine meat on the shelf, "Hungry!"
"It's all yours!" After saying that, he jumped to catch the pheasant.
After Xiyi greeted Fushu, he started to eat the meat voraciously, and said, "It's delicious!"
It's good to feed!
…………
The next day, the two rushed to the capital, asked a few times in various libraries and restaurants that literati loved to go to, and finally got Zhai Qiao's place to live.
Leyou Fushu knocked on the courtyard door, and a servant answered, "Who are you two young masters looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this where Zhai Qiao lives?"
"It's our master."
"Is he at home?"
"Who are you two?"
"Brother, please make a report and say that someone from Xuan Tu came to tell him about the disappearance of his family."
The boy must have known about Zhai Qiao's life experience, so he immediately said: "Young masters, wait a moment, I will report right away."
After a while, the servant turned around and invited the two of them inside, "Master happens to be studying at home today, please sit down in the main hall, you two, he will come right away."
As soon as Leyou and Fushu picked up their teacups, Zhai Qiao came over, saluted the two of them and said, "You two gentlemen are very polite! My servant said that you two came from Xuantu? But my old father and youngest son have found it?"
Leyou Fushu saw that although the courtyard was not big, Zhai Qiao's clothes were full of wealth and nobility, so he must have been treated well by the lord's family, so he replied: "Mr. The disappearance case of more than ten years has been solved, I asked the principal culprit, and he said that he never harmed your family, so the two of us came to ask you, do you still remember what happened that day?"
After such a long time, when Zhai Qiao remembered what happened back then, his face was still full of grief, he turned his head and wiped away his tears, and said after a long time: "There was nothing abnormal on the day when the old father and young son disappeared. The family is poor. In order to save oil lamps, the old father I read the book for me, and took my son to bed early. I read the book until late at night before I rested. I didn’t hear any unusual noises throughout the night. I didn’t see my father and young son the next morning. I thought my father was afraid of making noise, so I went As usual, I took my youngest son and went to work in the field first, so I made breakfast and waited for them to come back to eat together, but I didn’t return after a long time, so I had to go to the field to find them. People asked them if they had seen my family, the old and the young. People in the village said they had never seen them, and they helped me find them together. I searched in and out of the village all day and found nothing. That night, my father and children never returned home, so I believed in the villagers. It is said that they were probably also murdered and taken away!"
After Zhai Qiao finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face, he pressed his cuff with his cuff, and said, "I made the two gentlemen laugh."
Leyou helped Shu and waved his hands: "Mr. Zhai is very filial, why would you laugh at me?"
Di Qiao wiped away his tears and asked: "If my family was not captured by the man that the father-in-law said, then who did it?"
"I don't know yet, this is also the reason for our trip, to see if Mr. Zhai remembers anything unusual, and to find out the mystery of the disappearance of Lingtang and the youngest son. Now it seems..."
Zhai Qiao understood what Le You said: now it seems that it may be difficult to find out why.He sighed and said: "It's been a long time, I don't have any hope, thank you both for coming from afar to tell me about it!" He looked at the sky and said, "Come here, go and tell Madam that we are preparing a feast for distinguished guests."
The servant got the order to go down, Leyou Fushu both refused politely: "Master Zhai, you don't have to be polite, the two of us didn't bring any good news here, I can't afford a feast!" Saying this, he was about to leave.However, Zhai Qiao was very kind to persuade him to stay: "What are you two father-in-laws! It has been five years since the disaster happened in my family. I thought that no one would investigate anymore, but I didn't expect to wait until the two father-in-laws came to inform us of the progress. For the sufferer, it is very meaningful, and how can a table of simple meals be rewarded for one or two, and I hope that the two gentlemen will not despise the humble and simple, and use some vegetables and rice at will, so as to show my love for my family!"
Zhai Qiao said it sincerely, and if Leyou couldn't help her, he forced to refuse, so he agreed.
Le Youzhong sat down and said: "My son is now famous and his family is harmonious and prosperous. If you know him, you will feel at ease."
Zhai Qiao said with a slight smile: "Thanks to Yue's family and his wife for falling in love with each other!"
"I don't know how the young master and Mrs. Ling got acquainted?"
Zhai Qiao said: "According to my father-in-law, they saw me on the day they released the list in the town. After inquiring with others, they learned about the misfortune in my family, so they felt pity for me and recruited me."
"Young master is a blessing in disguise!"
Di Qiao smiled: "my wife and my father-in-law's family treated me as my dearest relatives. I don't know in which life I have achieved such a good fortune! But, it would be great if my old father and youngest son could share today's wealth with me!"
……
Several people chatted for a while, and the servant reported that the lunch was ready, so Zhai Qiao took Leyou and Fushu to eat.
☆. Can the palace lord tell the world the truth?
After the meal, the two bid farewell to Zhai Qiao and left the hospital. After walking away, Fu Shu asked Le You: "Do you have doubts about Zhai Qiao?"
Le You said: "It's hard to say, but during our conversation, someone kept eavesdropping and the breathing was tense and short, which made me a little puzzled."
Of course, Fu Shu also had a perception, "The sound of breathing is a woman. I don't know who it is, why does she want to eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"I don't know. It's just that what we said should be known to the whole house. Why did the woman eavesdrop? Why is she so nervous? Does Zhai Qiao know that there is someone in there?"
"So you deliberately said that Di Qiao's old father, Quanxia Youzhi, is to test Di Qiao?"
"That's right, although Zhai Qiao's family has been missing for more than five years, but there is no definite news of his death, how can we conclude that he is under the spring? But Zhai Qiao didn't subconsciously refute when he heard this, as if he was sure of his father and youngest son. Already dead."
"I've been missing for more than five years, so it's reasonable to conjecture..."
"It is indeed reasonable, but you have also seen that five years later, when we mentioned his family affairs, he still couldn't hide his grief. For such a family-sick person, even if he already has a guess in his heart that his relatives will never come back, he still still There will be hope, just like the Qiu Mansion and the scholar's house we visited before, the relatives of his two families have been missing for a long time, but they have never given up hope of their family's survival, even the servants in the family, such as Bi'er from the Qiu Mansion has never been sure that his young lady is dead and cannot return it. How could this Zhai Qiao be so indifferent when we said that his family is dead?"
"Could it be that he really knew that his family had already died? How could he know?"
"Whether it is known that his family is dead, or hope is dead... In any case, Zhai Qiao and the eavesdroppers behind the house are suspicious."
"But his sad expression doesn't seem to be fake..."
Leyou looked at Fushu, "God, how many years have you lived in seclusion?"
"The palace lord suddenly asked why?"
"God said that you are many nine hundred years older than me, but I don't think you act like you have lived so long."
"Does it mean that I don't know what to say?"
"It can also be said that Shangshen has a clear mind, as if he has never seen many filths in the world."
"The palace lord wants to say that I'm stupid, right? It's not a gentleman's job to turn a corner and swear."
Le You smiled, "No, I just want to say that Shangshen has a pure heart, and I don't think people in this world know how much sincerity can be faked if they want to deceive and deceive."
Fu Shu thought about Zhai Qiao's expression again, but he still didn't dare to suspect that those tears that couldn't be wiped away were faked. "The palace lord's indifference is no worse than that of Di Qiao! Even if you suspect him, you can still eat his food!"
"Great hospitality is hard to turn down!"
"I'm afraid it's to see more flaws in Zhai Qiao? Can you see it?"
"It's not a flaw, but I feel that Zhai Qiao seems to be enjoying the rich life of being surrounded by others. During the meeting, he talked about the examination of merit and fame, and he also talked about the way of officialdom management. He doesn't seem to be a poor scholar. opinion."
"How can it be regarded as the opinion of poor scholars?"
Le You said, "The poor scholars I met before were all indignant and dissatisfied with the filth of the officialdom, but this Zhai Qiao has no aversion to those things that exchange money for a smooth official career, on the contrary, he looks like he can handle it with ease."
"Or he is rich now and has changed his mind?"
"Maybe……"
"Then what's next?"
"Return to Xuantu!"
"Not here to observe if Zhai Qiao behaved strangely?"
"The place where the incident happened is not here, and [-]% will not behave strangely."
"That's to go to Zhai Qiao's house to see."
"Correct!"
"It's just that it's been more than five years since the incident happened, so I'm afraid I can't see anything."
"Let's go and see first."
"it is good!"
The two went directly to Zhaijia Village and asked about Zhai Qiao's residence. After opening the door and entering, they looked depressed, and Fushu asked strangely: "Didn't Zhai Qiao say during lunch that he specially reserved the yard and not sell it, just to wait for the family members to come back? No matter how you see it, take care of it."
Le You thought the same thing, and turned around inside and outside the house a few times, "If you don't see the hidden soul, it's probably not the work of the Fox King."
"Well. When we came last time, the old farmer said that when Zhai Qiao left the village, he only brought a few old clothes with him, and did not bring anything else. It can be seen that if the Fox King did it, then the souls of his grandparents must still be here In the yard. I don’t see you now, it’s probably someone else who did it. Mistress, do you suspect that Zhai Qiao knew about the disappearance of his grandpa and grandson, or do you suspect... that he did it?"
Seeing what Fu Shu said was what he was thinking, Le You glanced at Fu Shu appreciatively, "We can't say for sure right now, let's take it as what he did, the God of God thinks that he is a scholar who will disappear the two of us overnight , how to do it?"
Fu Shu pondered: "If you want to be invisible, you can only do things quietly in your own yard, confined to the yard... Could it be that they were killed and buried?" It was the look of "Shangshen is intelligent" again, and I didn't bother to bother with him about the teasing meaning in it, but said in surprise: "Look at Di Qiao, he doesn't look like such a crazy person! And why did he want to kill his relatives?" !"
"Let's not speculate why he did this, first check to see if he really did it, if he was killed and buried, then we need to find out if there is the corpse of the grandson in this yard!"
"Okay, Palace Master, please!" Fu Shu thought that Le You was going to pick up Jiang Hao to check, but he didn't want Le You to watch Fu Shu not move. "What's the matter, Palace Master?"
"Also ask God to help me find out!"
"The Palace Master's Jiang Hao can't find it?"
"You can't find the ground, and you can't find the bones."
"Okay!" Fu Shu probed intently, "In the room!"
When the two came to the house, they saw that the furnishings should be Father Zhai Qiao's bedroom.Fu Shu pointed to the ground: "It's right here!"
Leyou didn't know if she didn't know how to dig the ground with force or out of respect for the deceased, she went to the yard to find a shovel and dug it up one by one.With great strength, he soon dug up two sets of bones, one big and one small, they must be the grandparents.
Leyou didn't move the two pieces of bones, looked at them and said, "I need to find someone to test the cause of death."
"How does the palace lord explain our act of trespassing on other people's houses and digging the ground?"
"How can I explain it! If he doesn't come, I will tie him up!"
As he said that, he threw the shovel violently, and went out to the Yamen to find Wu Zuo.
From time to time, Wu Zuo and a group of yamen arresters were quickly found, and it seemed that everyone did it voluntarily.
Le You pushed Wu Zuo into the door, "Quickly check!"
Wu tremblingly entered the room for an autopsy, and came out after a while and said, "It was poisoned!"
"How long have you been dead?"
"No less than five years!"
There was a great battle among the crowd, many villagers had already gathered outside the house, Le You randomly found someone and asked, "Do you know where Mrs. Di Qiao is buried?"
The man nodded.
"lead the way!"
Everyone in the yamen followed the villager and Le You to dig up Mrs. Di Qiao's grave. After his inspection, "It was also poisoned!"
All the villagers were shocked when they heard the words, and they all said: "How is it possible! This lady of the Zhai family obviously had a bad delivery, and she died after half a year."
Wu Zuo glanced at the villagers, "Do you know how to do autopsies?"
The villagers shook their heads.
"Then don't question my ability to eat!"
A villager said: "My lord just said that he was also poisoned to death. Could it be that other people were poisoned to death?"
Before the yamen could respond, another villager said, "They just came out of Zhai's house. Didn't they say that someone in Zhai's family was poisoned to death?"
"There is no one else in the Zhai family!"
"Didn't you forget that Papa Zhai and his grandson disappeared five years ago?"
"Could it be that he didn't disappear, but was poisoned to death?"
"Which one is devoid of conscience! He's going to harm the whole family!"
"Where is the whole family? Obviously, there is still Zhai kid alone."
"Then why doesn't he harm Zhai boy?"
"How do I know!"
"That kid Zhai never goes out on weekdays, who can harm his whole family under his nose!"
"that is!"
"Is it possible?..."
"Could it be Boy Zhai himself?"
"Nonsense! I watched Zhai grow up! That kid is the most kind and filial, how could he do such a thing that is unacceptable!"
"Then who else do you think can go to Zhai's house without anyone noticing and kill three people without letting kid Zhai bump into him?"
"Then how do I know? There are so many monsters, goblins, capable people and strangers in this world, who knows which one! Didn't you say earlier that it was the thief who kidnapped people everywhere in our Xuantu!"
"Isn't that a flower picker? What kind of harm is he doing to people, young and old!"
"I'm not him, how do I know! Didn't everyone say that when Grandpa Zhai disappeared earlier?"
"If Kid Zhai did it himself, why did he kill his whole family?"
...............
Everyone was arguing.Leyou asked the arresters to listen for a while, and Fang said to the leader: "I will leave this matter to your yamen, and you must investigate to find out the truth!"
"Yes!" After the chief of the police answered, he remembered that the person in front of him was neither an official nor an official, why bother to listen to his orders, and was waiting to refute, and then heard Leyou tell him Zhai Qiao's residence in the capital.After speaking, he left.
The chief arrester came back to his senses and saw no one there, so he had to stop the disturbing villagers, "The yamen is handling the case, shut up! Open up!"
Fu Shu walked to a place where there was no one and asked Le You: "Leave this matter to the yamen?"
"The world is a matter of the world, I don't have to ask."
Fushu looked at Leyou's stinky face from digging Zhai's grandfather's grave and said, "Didn't the Palace Master say that he has seen such things too often? Why are you still so aggrieved?"
Le You said harshly: "No matter how much you see, you can't get used to it!"
Fu Shu didn't feel any good in his heart. Although he has lived for many years and has seen and heard a lot, he still feels shuddering after experiencing such evil, and doesn't understand why people in this world can be so evil.
The two walked blindly all the way without saying a word, and walked outside a temple from time to time, Le You saw the people worshiping the gods coming in and out, and said with emotion: "For those who pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, it is better to prevent the people around them from longevity! "
"It's not all villains, the palace master calm down."
Leyou snorted, looked at the Bodhisattvas in the temple from a distance, turned and left.
Fu Shu looked at these people who worshiped the gods, followed behind Le You thoughtfully, and bumped into Le You's back within two steps, "What's the matter, Palace Master?"
Leyou frowned and thought about it, then turned around and walked quickly into the temple.
Walking into the temple, regardless of the presence of people worshiping, he moved away from the crowd and stepped forward to examine the statue carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he looked, and he turned around and grabbed someone and asked, "What god do you worship?"
The people didn't like him at all when they saw his behavior without reason, but now they saw him recklessly arresting people and asked him, without any manners at all, they said angrily: "My lord is so rude!"
Fu Shu pulled Le You over, and asked everyone kindly: "I'm sorry, he just got angry, and he still hasn't controlled his temper, so I'm sorry for angering everyone! I don't know which god is worshiping here? The incense is so strong, I waited elsewhere but never saw it."
Seeing that Fushu was talking so well, everyone replied: "This is the fox fairy that only our Xuantu has! It is very effective, so the incense is very popular!"
Leyou's thoughts were confirmed, he sneered and went outside.Fu Shu hurriedly followed, "What is the palace master doing?"
Le You said harshly: "They are all liars!"
"What does the Palace Master mean by this?"
"Does God still remember that the Fox King took away a boy when he ascended?"
"Of course I remember! I mentioned it yesterday, although I am old, I am not forgetful."
"We couldn't figure out why he would embarrass a mortal child before. When I asked him, he was just vague. Now I understand!"
"What does the Palace Master understand?"
"At this moment, everyone in the temple is worshiping the Fox King!"
"But the fox king is a man, and the idol in this temple is a woman, and the fox king just ascended a month ago. According to the waiter at the inn, the Xuantu people have been worshiping this fox fairy for many years."
"That's right! Aren't they just fake fox fairies who have worshiped for many years!"
"Palace Master, please speak more clearly."
"The appearance of a man and a woman is not very important. It must be that mortals have seen too many fox fairy ladies and seldom see fox fairy men, so when making the statue, they made a female image on their own. Let's talk about this merit. I asked the Fox King that day, what is his merit? How did it come from. He said that he was used to doing good deeds in the world and accumulated them. Although I thought something was wrong at the time, I didn’t get a clue. Now I finally know what is wrong. The little girl we met when we went to the Fox King Cave said However, their great king has been cultivating immortals in the cave all year round, and he rarely goes out. How did he do so many good deeds and accumulate so many merits for him to ascend? I guess he has been fulfilling common wishes in the mortal world many years ago, lying Claiming that he has ascended to become a fox fairy, let people spread the praises of him, build temples and statues, and send little demons to secretly listen to the wishes of ordinary people from time to time, and let them choose some small wishes within their ability to fulfill. This makes people believe that he can really manifest spirits, and more and more people worship him, and the merits will be accumulated!"
"Little demons don't wonder why they want to do things for mortals?"
"God forgot, the whole clan in the Xuantu Fox Realm has the ambition to cultivate immortals! They came to the world to do good deeds, not only helping the Fox King, but also accumulating merit for themselves, so why not do it!"
"This Fox King! Merit depends on deception, cultivation depends on drinking people's blood, and keeping precepts depends on taking advantage of loopholes. He is really deceitful and cunning! No wonder Tianjun's good temper made him so angry that he lost his patience."
"Shangshen and Tianjun are very familiar?"
Fu Shu didn't want to talk about this topic, so he only replied vaguely: "I know... It seems that the fox king asked the palace master to wipe the child's memory because he was afraid that the child would remember the things in the upper world, and tell the story of the fox fairy who worshiped in the mortal world and him. The appearance is similar, so that someone who wants to hear it will destroy his temple. Is it possible that he is still lucky and wants to save these merits and do it again? I don’t know how the upper world will deal with him. "
"I don't know."
"Would the Palace Master tell the world the truth?"
Le You thought for a while, "Everyone in the world suffers, and it's not a bad thing for someone to make a small wish for them, so let's leave the Fox Realm to continue like this!"
Fu Shu nodded, and went to the town together with Le You.
☆、Master Honeysuckle
"Palace Master, wait a moment!"
Le You turned her head and saw Fu Shu was picking red fruits on the side of the road with the hem of his robe wrapped around his back, "God, this fruit is all over the place, but no one picks it, I'm afraid it's not edible."
Fu Shu kept saying, "I know, I don't want to eat."
Seeing that the juice of the fruit had already stained Fu Shu's white robe, Leyou thought to himself that this God is not particular, so he took out a cowhide bag and took the fruit, "Not for eating, why?"
Fu Shu picks it up and throws it into Leyou's hand, "For my small courtyard. To make the courtyard beautiful, we need to take into account the changes of the four seasons. This honeysuckle has greenery and flowers in spring and summer, and leaves and fruits in autumn and winter. It couldn't be more suitable. "
"There are greenery and flowers in spring and summer, leaves and fruits in autumn and winter...there are so many trees and flowers like this, why does God have to travel all the way from Xuantu to stain his clothes in vain!"
Fu Shu's sleeves were also stained red by the fruit syrup at this time, but he didn't care, "There are, but there are not many trees like honeysuckle that are full of golden leaves and red fruits that are about to drop into the winter. Dotted with snowflakes, I am the only one to enjoy such a vivid winter scene in Baxia, haha..."
Leyou didn't have much interest in these things, Baba held up the cowhide bag and waited for the helper to pick them slowly and carefully.A scholar-like man next to him heard Fu Shu's words and came over to pick the fruit. He didn't want to stain his clothes, but he couldn't find a bag or a big tree leaf to pack it in. He didn't know what to do.Seeing this, Fu Shu looked at Le You, and Le You reluctantly took out another calfskin bag from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Shu.Fu Shu took it and sent it to the scholar, "Master, do you want to pick some fruits to take back?"
The scholar said shyly, "Exactly."
Fushu then called Leyou over to pick the fruit together, the scholar thanked Leyou, rolled up his sleeves and imitated Fushu to pick the crimson ripe fruit, and asked as he picked it, "Master, do you know how to pick this fruit back?" How to plant it?"
Fu Shu said, "I have never planted it before, but it is probably the same as the other seeds. The pulp is mashed and washed, and the pure seeds are selected by water. They are dried in the shade and stored until the next spring. Then they are taken out to accelerate germination and planted."
The scholar listened attentively, Fu Shu saw his innocent appearance and felt close to him, and asked him, "Where do you want to take the young master?"
The scholar said, "Jimo."
"It's not far from Xuantu, where is there no honeysuckle?"
"Maybe there are, but I've never seen them."
"Jimo is warmer than Xuantu. Presumably this fruit can hang on the tree for the whole winter."
The scholar smiled when he heard this, "That would be the best."
Le You weighed the bag, "Is that enough?"
Seeing that the bag was almost full, Fu Shu withdrew his hand reluctantly, "Then pick these first." After saying goodbye to the scholar, he went to the inn with Le You.
Back at the inn, Leyou ordered Xiao Er to deliver the food, and Fushu packed the fruit.Leyou saw that he was full of red pulp again, and asked, "Can't God cleanse himself?"
Fu Shu looked at himself and said with a smile, "Yes, no rush, I'll clean up the fruit after I've packed it."
Leyou shook his head.Fu Shu laughed at him, "The Palace Mistress loves cleanliness so much, but thinks I'm an eyesore?"
Leyou didn't speak, so Fushu took it as his acquiescence, shook his head and asked again: "Palace Master, this matter is over, can I get back on my chin?"
"Of course, God can come and go freely, without asking me."
"When I get back to my chin, how will the Palace Master keep an eye on me?"
Le You glanced at Fu Shu, "I hope that guy won't make trouble after you and I parted, otherwise God will really be confused."
Fu Shu poured the crushed fruit pulp into a basin and washed it, "I hope that guy will come out sooner, so that the Palace Master can find out who he is and catch him sooner."
……
After the meal, the two of them went to a place where there was no one, so as to take off the clouds, and went back to their respective houses. Suddenly, they saw a young man in black robes rushing past, holding his sharp eyes, and shouted: "My lord, we meet again!"
The young man kept walking, looked sideways at the two of them, and continued to run forward without answering.
"Huh? Did you admit the wrong person? Isn't this the scholar who picked fruit with us earlier?"
Leyou looked at the young man's back and said, "They really do look exactly the same."
"Then why didn't he answer me?"
"do not know."
The two were about to continue walking, when they saw another person running in a hurry, they hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen a young man in black running past?"
Fu Shu didn't say whether or not, and asked the person: "Why is the Taoist priest chasing him?"
"Subduing demons and demons! Did the two young masters see which direction he ran?"
"What did he do?"
The Taoist chased him wholeheartedly, seeing that Fushu not only did not tell the young man where he was going, but also asked him endlessly. Impatient to talk to him, he left a sentence of "Kill" and ran forward, and the direction happened to be where the young man went.
Fu Shu was so close to the scholar when picking the fruit, so he knew that the scholar was not a human being, but he hadn't touched his real body. At this time, the Taoist said that he had violated the precept of killing, so he asked Le You: "Did the Palace Master visit the scholar earlier?" What kind of monster is the scholar?"
Leyou said: "I have no reason to spy on people and do what they really do."
Fu Shu thought for a while, "I want to follow, Palace Master, let's say goodbye, see you tomorrow!" After speaking, he also ran towards the direction of the demon, and after running a few steps, he found that Le You was also following him. Later, "Why is the Palace Master here?"
"Subduing demons and eliminating demons."
"Didn't the Palace Master do this work after receiving the documents from the upper realm?"
"Why did God follow?"
"I don't think that scholar looks like someone with bloody hands, so I want to find out."
"Then I'll go and see what's going on, and see if Shangshen Guanren is accurate."
"Mr. Qingluo hasn't seen the Palace Master for more than a month, so won't you be in a hurry?"
"Could it be that God doesn't want me to follow?"
"Where is it! Palace Master, please!"
The two of them were running and fighting, and from time to time they caught up with the Taoist. The Taoist saw them and said: "This monster is dangerous, you two don't want to join in the fun!"
"It's okay, it's okay, the Taoist priest caught your demon, let's take a look."
The three of them chased for a long time but still couldn't see the black-robed youth, the Taoist stopped and complained, "I lost it for you!"
Just as Leyou was about to refute, Fushu waved his hand, "I'm really sorry, Daoist! It's just that I met that young man before, and I saw that he didn't look like a murderer, so I was afraid there might be a misunderstanding, so I followed him to have a look. "
The Taoist heard the words and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid it's not this person."
"We only met him more than an hour ago, and we will not admit our mistakes."
The Taoist chief looked at the two Fushus, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Fu Shu said, "If the Taoist priest has something to say, you might as well speak up."
I don't know if the Taoist saw Fu Shu's identities were good, he hesitated for a moment and said: "It is inconvenient for Xiao Dao to tell others about this, but since you two are involved with them, Xiao Dao is afraid that something bad will happen to you in the future, so let's say something Listen to the inside story with you."
"them?"
"That's right, they! The two young masters said they met the young man. Xiaodao said that you misidentified him. It's not a lie, but because I've been chasing him for more than two hours today, and he didn't have time to stop and chat with him. "
"Could it be twins?"
The Taoist shook his head, "It's not twins."
Fu Shu was surprised: "Aren't they twins? There are people who look exactly the same in this world?"
The Taoist thought he was tired from chasing him, so he sat down on the side of the road and said, "He is not human."
Fu Shu also sat on the ground and said, "I know."
The Taoist didn't expect Fu Shu to see it, and looked at him in surprise, "The two young masters are extraordinary, and they are also practitioners, but I don't know what state they have entered? How can you tell at a glance that he is not human?"
Fu Shu didn't want to reveal the person's identity, but said: "I waited for Dao Xing, and I can indeed see that he is a demon, but I haven't checked it out, so I don't know what kind of monster it is."
The Taoist sighed, "You are already so powerful at such a young age, and you will be fearful in future generations!"
"Congratulations! Can the Taoist priest explain why he concluded that the young man and the person I saw earlier are not twins?"
"Because I have seen dozens of people like that!"
"Dozens?"
"That's right, it's a long story..."
"If the Taoist priest has nothing to do, please tell me in detail, I have a lot of free time!"
The Taoist was about to speak, but his stomach grumbled a few times at an untimely time. Fushu heard the sound and said, "The Taoist priest is killing the people and forgetting to eat and sleep. I wonder if it is possible for Xiaosheng to invite the Taoist priest to have lunch? The Taoist priest can say no after eating." eat."
The Taoist was really tired and hungry after chasing him for so long, but he didn't refuse with an embarrassing expression on his face, "Thank you so much, my lord!"
Fu Shu got up, "Please, Daoist!" Then he looked back at Le You who had been standing beside him, "Gong...Young Master, are you going with us, or at home first?"
Le You said, "Let's go and listen together."
"Okay, let's go back to town then."
Fu and Shu were afraid that sitting and watching the Taoist eat would make him feel embarrassed, so they took some chopsticks to accompany them.The Taoist finished his method and said: "Xiaodao heard that there was a monster in Jimo, so he went to have a look. He didn't want to encounter a monster eating people, so he swung his sword and cut off the arm of the monster. I fought hard, picked up my arm and ran, not thinking that he was not very knowledgeable, but he ran fast. I chased him for several days without catching him. One day, the monster suddenly stopped running. The first battle. I went up and found that he had found helpers at some point, and they looked exactly like him. He fought up without saying a word. I knew after a few times that the helpers were not strong enough, and they fought so fiercely. After a while, they lost the wind, and I took advantage of the situation to chop off the two of them with the sword, and buried them on the spot."
"Good work, Daoist! Then the rest of the people came to seek revenge from you?"
The Taoist waved his hand, "My lord, you are absurd. If I'm really good at it, I should have finished them by now."
"They have many brothers, so there is nothing they can do."
"No, not brothers."
"How to say?"
"After I killed those two monsters, I was about to go back to my teacher's school. I didn't want to happen by chance. I saw two people who looked exactly like those two on the road. At first I thought they were brothers. I was lamenting the strange things in the world. It allowed me to see Sishenger in a few days, but after a closer look, I realized that it was Sisheng, it was obviously the two monsters that I buried in the ground a few days ago!"
"He didn't die?!"
"That's right! He didn't die! The two of them ran away when they saw me, and I chased them up and beheaded them. This time, just to be safe, I cut off their heads and buried them in the ground."
"He cut off his head, he must be dead this time!"
"It's dead, but it's not dead."
Fu Shu was stunned, "Please ask the Taoist priest to explain more clearly."
"I'm afraid of another strange change, so I guarded their cemetery for a few days, not wanting to let me see such an unbelievable thing!"
"What kind?"
"I buried two heads and two bodies in the soil, but saw four people who looked exactly the same crawl out of the soil!"
"What!" Fu Shu and Le You were really surprised this time, "Could it be that the monster is not only unkillable, but can also regenerate?"
"Yes, I was too surprised, so I didn't kill them immediately. They crawled out of the ground and ran away after seeing me. I didn't chase after me, but dug open the mound to check. Really gone."
"The two heads and two bodies turned into four complete and fresh monsters?"
"That's right!"
Fu Shu and Le You looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes: such a strange thing is really unheard of, never seen before. "and after?"
"Afterwards, I chose a direction to chase and dismembered one of the monsters. This time, I didn't bury them anymore. I just put them in front of my eyes and watched them regenerate!"
Fu Shu thought about the scene and felt disturbed, "Hi Taoist...! Can you see how they regenerated?"
"I see! The torso after being dismantled into eight pieces has turned back into its original body, and then grew into a complete body one by one in a few days, and after growing up, it turned into a human form, exactly the same as before!"
"The Taoist priest saw the original body of the monster? What kind of monster is it?"
"Ji Gu."
"It's actually Ji Gu!" Fu Shu saw Le You's face was blank, as if he had never heard of this thing before, and explained: "It's a kind of insect, most of them live in warm and humid lands or in the sea." He asked again: "Although this insect is common , but the maximum
Fu Shu took it and looked it over carefully: "The palace lord knows a lot! But what can such a treasure do for me?"
"God took it to make a decent robe!"
Fu Shu smiled: "Thank you, Palace Master, for your kindness! But I am a god, and I don't have cold and heat, so Palace Master should save it and make a piece of clothing!" He was about to hand it over.Le You refused to answer, "God take it! My family has a lot of fur."
Fu Shu stroked the snow-white wolverine fur lightly, not knowing what to think, and replied in a low voice: "Well, then I'll keep it."
"Can God make robes?"
"will not."
"Is there no one at home?"
"I will, but she's gone."
Leyou saw that Fu Shu had not shy away from mentioning the guy who caused chaos in the Six Realms before, but now he brought up his embarrassment again, saying: "God has not cleared up the suspicion of these two people, so I don't shy away from it. I am afraid that I will forget what they have done. What might you have done?"
"Palace Master! The suspicion is yours, not mine. If I don't mention it, you think I'm guilty. If I mention it, you think I'm pretending to be open. This is really embarrassing!"
Le Youben was just teasing him, and it seemed that he had a villainous heart when he said that.Turn over the meat on the shelf, cut a piece for Fushu, "God eat it first if you're hungry."
Fu Shu took it, tore off a small piece, tasted it carefully, and remained silent for a while.Leyou asked him: "Why, isn't it delicious?"
Fu Shu said, "It's delicious!"
Leyou tore off a piece from Fushu's hand and tasted it himself, "I heard that the whole body of the wolverine is precious, but the meat is not very good, it's a waste!"
"Don't waste it, you can eat it!"
Le You grabbed the meat in Fu Shu's hand and said, "Don't eat it! I'll hunt two more pheasants." Then he released Hui Yi and asked, "Xiao Yi, are you hungry?"
Yi Yi drooled looking at the wolverine meat on the shelf, "Hungry!"
"It's all yours!" After saying that, he jumped to catch the pheasant.
After Xiyi greeted Fushu, he started to eat the meat voraciously, and said, "It's delicious!"
It's good to feed!
…………
The next day, the two rushed to the capital, asked a few times in various libraries and restaurants that literati loved to go to, and finally got Zhai Qiao's place to live.
Leyou Fushu knocked on the courtyard door, and a servant answered, "Who are you two young masters looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this where Zhai Qiao lives?"
"It's our master."
"Is he at home?"
"Who are you two?"
"Brother, please make a report and say that someone from Xuan Tu came to tell him about the disappearance of his family."
The boy must have known about Zhai Qiao's life experience, so he immediately said: "Young masters, wait a moment, I will report right away."
After a while, the servant turned around and invited the two of them inside, "Master happens to be studying at home today, please sit down in the main hall, you two, he will come right away."
As soon as Leyou and Fushu picked up their teacups, Zhai Qiao came over, saluted the two of them and said, "You two gentlemen are very polite! My servant said that you two came from Xuantu? But my old father and youngest son have found it?"
Leyou Fushu saw that although the courtyard was not big, Zhai Qiao's clothes were full of wealth and nobility, so he must have been treated well by the lord's family, so he replied: "Mr. The disappearance case of more than ten years has been solved, I asked the principal culprit, and he said that he never harmed your family, so the two of us came to ask you, do you still remember what happened that day?"
After such a long time, when Zhai Qiao remembered what happened back then, his face was still full of grief, he turned his head and wiped away his tears, and said after a long time: "There was nothing abnormal on the day when the old father and young son disappeared. The family is poor. In order to save oil lamps, the old father I read the book for me, and took my son to bed early. I read the book until late at night before I rested. I didn’t hear any unusual noises throughout the night. I didn’t see my father and young son the next morning. I thought my father was afraid of making noise, so I went As usual, I took my youngest son and went to work in the field first, so I made breakfast and waited for them to come back to eat together, but I didn’t return after a long time, so I had to go to the field to find them. People asked them if they had seen my family, the old and the young. People in the village said they had never seen them, and they helped me find them together. I searched in and out of the village all day and found nothing. That night, my father and children never returned home, so I believed in the villagers. It is said that they were probably also murdered and taken away!"
After Zhai Qiao finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face, he pressed his cuff with his cuff, and said, "I made the two gentlemen laugh."
Leyou helped Shu and waved his hands: "Mr. Zhai is very filial, why would you laugh at me?"
Di Qiao wiped away his tears and asked: "If my family was not captured by the man that the father-in-law said, then who did it?"
"I don't know yet, this is also the reason for our trip, to see if Mr. Zhai remembers anything unusual, and to find out the mystery of the disappearance of Lingtang and the youngest son. Now it seems..."
Zhai Qiao understood what Le You said: now it seems that it may be difficult to find out why.He sighed and said: "It's been a long time, I don't have any hope, thank you both for coming from afar to tell me about it!" He looked at the sky and said, "Come here, go and tell Madam that we are preparing a feast for distinguished guests."
The servant got the order to go down, Leyou Fushu both refused politely: "Master Zhai, you don't have to be polite, the two of us didn't bring any good news here, I can't afford a feast!" Saying this, he was about to leave.However, Zhai Qiao was very kind to persuade him to stay: "What are you two father-in-laws! It has been five years since the disaster happened in my family. I thought that no one would investigate anymore, but I didn't expect to wait until the two father-in-laws came to inform us of the progress. For the sufferer, it is very meaningful, and how can a table of simple meals be rewarded for one or two, and I hope that the two gentlemen will not despise the humble and simple, and use some vegetables and rice at will, so as to show my love for my family!"
Zhai Qiao said it sincerely, and if Leyou couldn't help her, he forced to refuse, so he agreed.
Le Youzhong sat down and said: "My son is now famous and his family is harmonious and prosperous. If you know him, you will feel at ease."
Zhai Qiao said with a slight smile: "Thanks to Yue's family and his wife for falling in love with each other!"
"I don't know how the young master and Mrs. Ling got acquainted?"
Zhai Qiao said: "According to my father-in-law, they saw me on the day they released the list in the town. After inquiring with others, they learned about the misfortune in my family, so they felt pity for me and recruited me."
"Young master is a blessing in disguise!"
Di Qiao smiled: "my wife and my father-in-law's family treated me as my dearest relatives. I don't know in which life I have achieved such a good fortune! But, it would be great if my old father and youngest son could share today's wealth with me!"
……
Several people chatted for a while, and the servant reported that the lunch was ready, so Zhai Qiao took Leyou and Fushu to eat.
☆. Can the palace lord tell the world the truth?
After the meal, the two bid farewell to Zhai Qiao and left the hospital. After walking away, Fu Shu asked Le You: "Do you have doubts about Zhai Qiao?"
Le You said: "It's hard to say, but during our conversation, someone kept eavesdropping and the breathing was tense and short, which made me a little puzzled."
Of course, Fu Shu also had a perception, "The sound of breathing is a woman. I don't know who it is, why does she want to eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"I don't know. It's just that what we said should be known to the whole house. Why did the woman eavesdrop? Why is she so nervous? Does Zhai Qiao know that there is someone in there?"
"So you deliberately said that Di Qiao's old father, Quanxia Youzhi, is to test Di Qiao?"
"That's right, although Zhai Qiao's family has been missing for more than five years, but there is no definite news of his death, how can we conclude that he is under the spring? But Zhai Qiao didn't subconsciously refute when he heard this, as if he was sure of his father and youngest son. Already dead."
"I've been missing for more than five years, so it's reasonable to conjecture..."
"It is indeed reasonable, but you have also seen that five years later, when we mentioned his family affairs, he still couldn't hide his grief. For such a family-sick person, even if he already has a guess in his heart that his relatives will never come back, he still still There will be hope, just like the Qiu Mansion and the scholar's house we visited before, the relatives of his two families have been missing for a long time, but they have never given up hope of their family's survival, even the servants in the family, such as Bi'er from the Qiu Mansion has never been sure that his young lady is dead and cannot return it. How could this Zhai Qiao be so indifferent when we said that his family is dead?"
"Could it be that he really knew that his family had already died? How could he know?"
"Whether it is known that his family is dead, or hope is dead... In any case, Zhai Qiao and the eavesdroppers behind the house are suspicious."
"But his sad expression doesn't seem to be fake..."
Leyou looked at Fushu, "God, how many years have you lived in seclusion?"
"The palace lord suddenly asked why?"
"God said that you are many nine hundred years older than me, but I don't think you act like you have lived so long."
"Does it mean that I don't know what to say?"
"It can also be said that Shangshen has a clear mind, as if he has never seen many filths in the world."
"The palace lord wants to say that I'm stupid, right? It's not a gentleman's job to turn a corner and swear."
Le You smiled, "No, I just want to say that Shangshen has a pure heart, and I don't think people in this world know how much sincerity can be faked if they want to deceive and deceive."
Fu Shu thought about Zhai Qiao's expression again, but he still didn't dare to suspect that those tears that couldn't be wiped away were faked. "The palace lord's indifference is no worse than that of Di Qiao! Even if you suspect him, you can still eat his food!"
"Great hospitality is hard to turn down!"
"I'm afraid it's to see more flaws in Zhai Qiao? Can you see it?"
"It's not a flaw, but I feel that Zhai Qiao seems to be enjoying the rich life of being surrounded by others. During the meeting, he talked about the examination of merit and fame, and he also talked about the way of officialdom management. He doesn't seem to be a poor scholar. opinion."
"How can it be regarded as the opinion of poor scholars?"
Le You said, "The poor scholars I met before were all indignant and dissatisfied with the filth of the officialdom, but this Zhai Qiao has no aversion to those things that exchange money for a smooth official career, on the contrary, he looks like he can handle it with ease."
"Or he is rich now and has changed his mind?"
"Maybe……"
"Then what's next?"
"Return to Xuantu!"
"Not here to observe if Zhai Qiao behaved strangely?"
"The place where the incident happened is not here, and [-]% will not behave strangely."
"That's to go to Zhai Qiao's house to see."
"Correct!"
"It's just that it's been more than five years since the incident happened, so I'm afraid I can't see anything."
"Let's go and see first."
"it is good!"
The two went directly to Zhaijia Village and asked about Zhai Qiao's residence. After opening the door and entering, they looked depressed, and Fushu asked strangely: "Didn't Zhai Qiao say during lunch that he specially reserved the yard and not sell it, just to wait for the family members to come back? No matter how you see it, take care of it."
Le You thought the same thing, and turned around inside and outside the house a few times, "If you don't see the hidden soul, it's probably not the work of the Fox King."
"Well. When we came last time, the old farmer said that when Zhai Qiao left the village, he only brought a few old clothes with him, and did not bring anything else. It can be seen that if the Fox King did it, then the souls of his grandparents must still be here In the yard. I don’t see you now, it’s probably someone else who did it. Mistress, do you suspect that Zhai Qiao knew about the disappearance of his grandpa and grandson, or do you suspect... that he did it?"
Seeing what Fu Shu said was what he was thinking, Le You glanced at Fu Shu appreciatively, "We can't say for sure right now, let's take it as what he did, the God of God thinks that he is a scholar who will disappear the two of us overnight , how to do it?"
Fu Shu pondered: "If you want to be invisible, you can only do things quietly in your own yard, confined to the yard... Could it be that they were killed and buried?" It was the look of "Shangshen is intelligent" again, and I didn't bother to bother with him about the teasing meaning in it, but said in surprise: "Look at Di Qiao, he doesn't look like such a crazy person! And why did he want to kill his relatives?" !"
"Let's not speculate why he did this, first check to see if he really did it, if he was killed and buried, then we need to find out if there is the corpse of the grandson in this yard!"
"Okay, Palace Master, please!" Fu Shu thought that Le You was going to pick up Jiang Hao to check, but he didn't want Le You to watch Fu Shu not move. "What's the matter, Palace Master?"
"Also ask God to help me find out!"
"The Palace Master's Jiang Hao can't find it?"
"You can't find the ground, and you can't find the bones."
"Okay!" Fu Shu probed intently, "In the room!"
When the two came to the house, they saw that the furnishings should be Father Zhai Qiao's bedroom.Fu Shu pointed to the ground: "It's right here!"
Leyou didn't know if she didn't know how to dig the ground with force or out of respect for the deceased, she went to the yard to find a shovel and dug it up one by one.With great strength, he soon dug up two sets of bones, one big and one small, they must be the grandparents.
Leyou didn't move the two pieces of bones, looked at them and said, "I need to find someone to test the cause of death."
"How does the palace lord explain our act of trespassing on other people's houses and digging the ground?"
"How can I explain it! If he doesn't come, I will tie him up!"
As he said that, he threw the shovel violently, and went out to the Yamen to find Wu Zuo.
From time to time, Wu Zuo and a group of yamen arresters were quickly found, and it seemed that everyone did it voluntarily.
Le You pushed Wu Zuo into the door, "Quickly check!"
Wu tremblingly entered the room for an autopsy, and came out after a while and said, "It was poisoned!"
"How long have you been dead?"
"No less than five years!"
There was a great battle among the crowd, many villagers had already gathered outside the house, Le You randomly found someone and asked, "Do you know where Mrs. Di Qiao is buried?"
The man nodded.
"lead the way!"
Everyone in the yamen followed the villager and Le You to dig up Mrs. Di Qiao's grave. After his inspection, "It was also poisoned!"
All the villagers were shocked when they heard the words, and they all said: "How is it possible! This lady of the Zhai family obviously had a bad delivery, and she died after half a year."
Wu Zuo glanced at the villagers, "Do you know how to do autopsies?"
The villagers shook their heads.
"Then don't question my ability to eat!"
A villager said: "My lord just said that he was also poisoned to death. Could it be that other people were poisoned to death?"
Before the yamen could respond, another villager said, "They just came out of Zhai's house. Didn't they say that someone in Zhai's family was poisoned to death?"
"There is no one else in the Zhai family!"
"Didn't you forget that Papa Zhai and his grandson disappeared five years ago?"
"Could it be that he didn't disappear, but was poisoned to death?"
"Which one is devoid of conscience! He's going to harm the whole family!"
"Where is the whole family? Obviously, there is still Zhai kid alone."
"Then why doesn't he harm Zhai boy?"
"How do I know!"
"That kid Zhai never goes out on weekdays, who can harm his whole family under his nose!"
"that is!"
"Is it possible?..."
"Could it be Boy Zhai himself?"
"Nonsense! I watched Zhai grow up! That kid is the most kind and filial, how could he do such a thing that is unacceptable!"
"Then who else do you think can go to Zhai's house without anyone noticing and kill three people without letting kid Zhai bump into him?"
"Then how do I know? There are so many monsters, goblins, capable people and strangers in this world, who knows which one! Didn't you say earlier that it was the thief who kidnapped people everywhere in our Xuantu!"
"Isn't that a flower picker? What kind of harm is he doing to people, young and old!"
"I'm not him, how do I know! Didn't everyone say that when Grandpa Zhai disappeared earlier?"
"If Kid Zhai did it himself, why did he kill his whole family?"
...............
Everyone was arguing.Leyou asked the arresters to listen for a while, and Fang said to the leader: "I will leave this matter to your yamen, and you must investigate to find out the truth!"
"Yes!" After the chief of the police answered, he remembered that the person in front of him was neither an official nor an official, why bother to listen to his orders, and was waiting to refute, and then heard Leyou tell him Zhai Qiao's residence in the capital.After speaking, he left.
The chief arrester came back to his senses and saw no one there, so he had to stop the disturbing villagers, "The yamen is handling the case, shut up! Open up!"
Fu Shu walked to a place where there was no one and asked Le You: "Leave this matter to the yamen?"
"The world is a matter of the world, I don't have to ask."
Fushu looked at Leyou's stinky face from digging Zhai's grandfather's grave and said, "Didn't the Palace Master say that he has seen such things too often? Why are you still so aggrieved?"
Le You said harshly: "No matter how much you see, you can't get used to it!"
Fu Shu didn't feel any good in his heart. Although he has lived for many years and has seen and heard a lot, he still feels shuddering after experiencing such evil, and doesn't understand why people in this world can be so evil.
The two walked blindly all the way without saying a word, and walked outside a temple from time to time, Le You saw the people worshiping the gods coming in and out, and said with emotion: "For those who pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, it is better to prevent the people around them from longevity! "
"It's not all villains, the palace master calm down."
Leyou snorted, looked at the Bodhisattvas in the temple from a distance, turned and left.
Fu Shu looked at these people who worshiped the gods, followed behind Le You thoughtfully, and bumped into Le You's back within two steps, "What's the matter, Palace Master?"
Leyou frowned and thought about it, then turned around and walked quickly into the temple.
Walking into the temple, regardless of the presence of people worshiping, he moved away from the crowd and stepped forward to examine the statue carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he looked, and he turned around and grabbed someone and asked, "What god do you worship?"
The people didn't like him at all when they saw his behavior without reason, but now they saw him recklessly arresting people and asked him, without any manners at all, they said angrily: "My lord is so rude!"
Fu Shu pulled Le You over, and asked everyone kindly: "I'm sorry, he just got angry, and he still hasn't controlled his temper, so I'm sorry for angering everyone! I don't know which god is worshiping here? The incense is so strong, I waited elsewhere but never saw it."
Seeing that Fushu was talking so well, everyone replied: "This is the fox fairy that only our Xuantu has! It is very effective, so the incense is very popular!"
Leyou's thoughts were confirmed, he sneered and went outside.Fu Shu hurriedly followed, "What is the palace master doing?"
Le You said harshly: "They are all liars!"
"What does the Palace Master mean by this?"
"Does God still remember that the Fox King took away a boy when he ascended?"
"Of course I remember! I mentioned it yesterday, although I am old, I am not forgetful."
"We couldn't figure out why he would embarrass a mortal child before. When I asked him, he was just vague. Now I understand!"
"What does the Palace Master understand?"
"At this moment, everyone in the temple is worshiping the Fox King!"
"But the fox king is a man, and the idol in this temple is a woman, and the fox king just ascended a month ago. According to the waiter at the inn, the Xuantu people have been worshiping this fox fairy for many years."
"That's right! Aren't they just fake fox fairies who have worshiped for many years!"
"Palace Master, please speak more clearly."
"The appearance of a man and a woman is not very important. It must be that mortals have seen too many fox fairy ladies and seldom see fox fairy men, so when making the statue, they made a female image on their own. Let's talk about this merit. I asked the Fox King that day, what is his merit? How did it come from. He said that he was used to doing good deeds in the world and accumulated them. Although I thought something was wrong at the time, I didn’t get a clue. Now I finally know what is wrong. The little girl we met when we went to the Fox King Cave said However, their great king has been cultivating immortals in the cave all year round, and he rarely goes out. How did he do so many good deeds and accumulate so many merits for him to ascend? I guess he has been fulfilling common wishes in the mortal world many years ago, lying Claiming that he has ascended to become a fox fairy, let people spread the praises of him, build temples and statues, and send little demons to secretly listen to the wishes of ordinary people from time to time, and let them choose some small wishes within their ability to fulfill. This makes people believe that he can really manifest spirits, and more and more people worship him, and the merits will be accumulated!"
"Little demons don't wonder why they want to do things for mortals?"
"God forgot, the whole clan in the Xuantu Fox Realm has the ambition to cultivate immortals! They came to the world to do good deeds, not only helping the Fox King, but also accumulating merit for themselves, so why not do it!"
"This Fox King! Merit depends on deception, cultivation depends on drinking people's blood, and keeping precepts depends on taking advantage of loopholes. He is really deceitful and cunning! No wonder Tianjun's good temper made him so angry that he lost his patience."
"Shangshen and Tianjun are very familiar?"
Fu Shu didn't want to talk about this topic, so he only replied vaguely: "I know... It seems that the fox king asked the palace master to wipe the child's memory because he was afraid that the child would remember the things in the upper world, and tell the story of the fox fairy who worshiped in the mortal world and him. The appearance is similar, so that someone who wants to hear it will destroy his temple. Is it possible that he is still lucky and wants to save these merits and do it again? I don’t know how the upper world will deal with him. "
"I don't know."
"Would the Palace Master tell the world the truth?"
Le You thought for a while, "Everyone in the world suffers, and it's not a bad thing for someone to make a small wish for them, so let's leave the Fox Realm to continue like this!"
Fu Shu nodded, and went to the town together with Le You.
☆、Master Honeysuckle
"Palace Master, wait a moment!"
Le You turned her head and saw Fu Shu was picking red fruits on the side of the road with the hem of his robe wrapped around his back, "God, this fruit is all over the place, but no one picks it, I'm afraid it's not edible."
Fu Shu kept saying, "I know, I don't want to eat."
Seeing that the juice of the fruit had already stained Fu Shu's white robe, Leyou thought to himself that this God is not particular, so he took out a cowhide bag and took the fruit, "Not for eating, why?"
Fu Shu picks it up and throws it into Leyou's hand, "For my small courtyard. To make the courtyard beautiful, we need to take into account the changes of the four seasons. This honeysuckle has greenery and flowers in spring and summer, and leaves and fruits in autumn and winter. It couldn't be more suitable. "
"There are greenery and flowers in spring and summer, leaves and fruits in autumn and winter...there are so many trees and flowers like this, why does God have to travel all the way from Xuantu to stain his clothes in vain!"
Fu Shu's sleeves were also stained red by the fruit syrup at this time, but he didn't care, "There are, but there are not many trees like honeysuckle that are full of golden leaves and red fruits that are about to drop into the winter. Dotted with snowflakes, I am the only one to enjoy such a vivid winter scene in Baxia, haha..."
Leyou didn't have much interest in these things, Baba held up the cowhide bag and waited for the helper to pick them slowly and carefully.A scholar-like man next to him heard Fu Shu's words and came over to pick the fruit. He didn't want to stain his clothes, but he couldn't find a bag or a big tree leaf to pack it in. He didn't know what to do.Seeing this, Fu Shu looked at Le You, and Le You reluctantly took out another calfskin bag from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Shu.Fu Shu took it and sent it to the scholar, "Master, do you want to pick some fruits to take back?"
The scholar said shyly, "Exactly."
Fushu then called Leyou over to pick the fruit together, the scholar thanked Leyou, rolled up his sleeves and imitated Fushu to pick the crimson ripe fruit, and asked as he picked it, "Master, do you know how to pick this fruit back?" How to plant it?"
Fu Shu said, "I have never planted it before, but it is probably the same as the other seeds. The pulp is mashed and washed, and the pure seeds are selected by water. They are dried in the shade and stored until the next spring. Then they are taken out to accelerate germination and planted."
The scholar listened attentively, Fu Shu saw his innocent appearance and felt close to him, and asked him, "Where do you want to take the young master?"
The scholar said, "Jimo."
"It's not far from Xuantu, where is there no honeysuckle?"
"Maybe there are, but I've never seen them."
"Jimo is warmer than Xuantu. Presumably this fruit can hang on the tree for the whole winter."
The scholar smiled when he heard this, "That would be the best."
Le You weighed the bag, "Is that enough?"
Seeing that the bag was almost full, Fu Shu withdrew his hand reluctantly, "Then pick these first." After saying goodbye to the scholar, he went to the inn with Le You.
Back at the inn, Leyou ordered Xiao Er to deliver the food, and Fushu packed the fruit.Leyou saw that he was full of red pulp again, and asked, "Can't God cleanse himself?"
Fu Shu looked at himself and said with a smile, "Yes, no rush, I'll clean up the fruit after I've packed it."
Leyou shook his head.Fu Shu laughed at him, "The Palace Mistress loves cleanliness so much, but thinks I'm an eyesore?"
Leyou didn't speak, so Fushu took it as his acquiescence, shook his head and asked again: "Palace Master, this matter is over, can I get back on my chin?"
"Of course, God can come and go freely, without asking me."
"When I get back to my chin, how will the Palace Master keep an eye on me?"
Le You glanced at Fu Shu, "I hope that guy won't make trouble after you and I parted, otherwise God will really be confused."
Fu Shu poured the crushed fruit pulp into a basin and washed it, "I hope that guy will come out sooner, so that the Palace Master can find out who he is and catch him sooner."
……
After the meal, the two of them went to a place where there was no one, so as to take off the clouds, and went back to their respective houses. Suddenly, they saw a young man in black robes rushing past, holding his sharp eyes, and shouted: "My lord, we meet again!"
The young man kept walking, looked sideways at the two of them, and continued to run forward without answering.
"Huh? Did you admit the wrong person? Isn't this the scholar who picked fruit with us earlier?"
Leyou looked at the young man's back and said, "They really do look exactly the same."
"Then why didn't he answer me?"
"do not know."
The two were about to continue walking, when they saw another person running in a hurry, they hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen a young man in black running past?"
Fu Shu didn't say whether or not, and asked the person: "Why is the Taoist priest chasing him?"
"Subduing demons and demons! Did the two young masters see which direction he ran?"
"What did he do?"
The Taoist chased him wholeheartedly, seeing that Fushu not only did not tell the young man where he was going, but also asked him endlessly. Impatient to talk to him, he left a sentence of "Kill" and ran forward, and the direction happened to be where the young man went.
Fu Shu was so close to the scholar when picking the fruit, so he knew that the scholar was not a human being, but he hadn't touched his real body. At this time, the Taoist said that he had violated the precept of killing, so he asked Le You: "Did the Palace Master visit the scholar earlier?" What kind of monster is the scholar?"
Leyou said: "I have no reason to spy on people and do what they really do."
Fu Shu thought for a while, "I want to follow, Palace Master, let's say goodbye, see you tomorrow!" After speaking, he also ran towards the direction of the demon, and after running a few steps, he found that Le You was also following him. Later, "Why is the Palace Master here?"
"Subduing demons and eliminating demons."
"Didn't the Palace Master do this work after receiving the documents from the upper realm?"
"Why did God follow?"
"I don't think that scholar looks like someone with bloody hands, so I want to find out."
"Then I'll go and see what's going on, and see if Shangshen Guanren is accurate."
"Mr. Qingluo hasn't seen the Palace Master for more than a month, so won't you be in a hurry?"
"Could it be that God doesn't want me to follow?"
"Where is it! Palace Master, please!"
The two of them were running and fighting, and from time to time they caught up with the Taoist. The Taoist saw them and said: "This monster is dangerous, you two don't want to join in the fun!"
"It's okay, it's okay, the Taoist priest caught your demon, let's take a look."
The three of them chased for a long time but still couldn't see the black-robed youth, the Taoist stopped and complained, "I lost it for you!"
Just as Leyou was about to refute, Fushu waved his hand, "I'm really sorry, Daoist! It's just that I met that young man before, and I saw that he didn't look like a murderer, so I was afraid there might be a misunderstanding, so I followed him to have a look. "
The Taoist heard the words and said, "Young Master, I'm afraid it's not this person."
"We only met him more than an hour ago, and we will not admit our mistakes."
The Taoist chief looked at the two Fushus, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Fu Shu said, "If the Taoist priest has something to say, you might as well speak up."
I don't know if the Taoist saw Fu Shu's identities were good, he hesitated for a moment and said: "It is inconvenient for Xiao Dao to tell others about this, but since you two are involved with them, Xiao Dao is afraid that something bad will happen to you in the future, so let's say something Listen to the inside story with you."
"them?"
"That's right, they! The two young masters said they met the young man. Xiaodao said that you misidentified him. It's not a lie, but because I've been chasing him for more than two hours today, and he didn't have time to stop and chat with him. "
"Could it be twins?"
The Taoist shook his head, "It's not twins."
Fu Shu was surprised: "Aren't they twins? There are people who look exactly the same in this world?"
The Taoist thought he was tired from chasing him, so he sat down on the side of the road and said, "He is not human."
Fu Shu also sat on the ground and said, "I know."
The Taoist didn't expect Fu Shu to see it, and looked at him in surprise, "The two young masters are extraordinary, and they are also practitioners, but I don't know what state they have entered? How can you tell at a glance that he is not human?"
Fu Shu didn't want to reveal the person's identity, but said: "I waited for Dao Xing, and I can indeed see that he is a demon, but I haven't checked it out, so I don't know what kind of monster it is."
The Taoist sighed, "You are already so powerful at such a young age, and you will be fearful in future generations!"
"Congratulations! Can the Taoist priest explain why he concluded that the young man and the person I saw earlier are not twins?"
"Because I have seen dozens of people like that!"
"Dozens?"
"That's right, it's a long story..."
"If the Taoist priest has nothing to do, please tell me in detail, I have a lot of free time!"
The Taoist was about to speak, but his stomach grumbled a few times at an untimely time. Fushu heard the sound and said, "The Taoist priest is killing the people and forgetting to eat and sleep. I wonder if it is possible for Xiaosheng to invite the Taoist priest to have lunch? The Taoist priest can say no after eating." eat."
The Taoist was really tired and hungry after chasing him for so long, but he didn't refuse with an embarrassing expression on his face, "Thank you so much, my lord!"
Fu Shu got up, "Please, Daoist!" Then he looked back at Le You who had been standing beside him, "Gong...Young Master, are you going with us, or at home first?"
Le You said, "Let's go and listen together."
"Okay, let's go back to town then."
Fu and Shu were afraid that sitting and watching the Taoist eat would make him feel embarrassed, so they took some chopsticks to accompany them.The Taoist finished his method and said: "Xiaodao heard that there was a monster in Jimo, so he went to have a look. He didn't want to encounter a monster eating people, so he swung his sword and cut off the arm of the monster. I fought hard, picked up my arm and ran, not thinking that he was not very knowledgeable, but he ran fast. I chased him for several days without catching him. One day, the monster suddenly stopped running. The first battle. I went up and found that he had found helpers at some point, and they looked exactly like him. He fought up without saying a word. I knew after a few times that the helpers were not strong enough, and they fought so fiercely. After a while, they lost the wind, and I took advantage of the situation to chop off the two of them with the sword, and buried them on the spot."
"Good work, Daoist! Then the rest of the people came to seek revenge from you?"
The Taoist waved his hand, "My lord, you are absurd. If I'm really good at it, I should have finished them by now."
"They have many brothers, so there is nothing they can do."
"No, not brothers."
"How to say?"
"After I killed those two monsters, I was about to go back to my teacher's school. I didn't want to happen by chance. I saw two people who looked exactly like those two on the road. At first I thought they were brothers. I was lamenting the strange things in the world. It allowed me to see Sishenger in a few days, but after a closer look, I realized that it was Sisheng, it was obviously the two monsters that I buried in the ground a few days ago!"
"He didn't die?!"
"That's right! He didn't die! The two of them ran away when they saw me, and I chased them up and beheaded them. This time, just to be safe, I cut off their heads and buried them in the ground."
"He cut off his head, he must be dead this time!"
"It's dead, but it's not dead."
Fu Shu was stunned, "Please ask the Taoist priest to explain more clearly."
"I'm afraid of another strange change, so I guarded their cemetery for a few days, not wanting to let me see such an unbelievable thing!"
"What kind?"
"I buried two heads and two bodies in the soil, but saw four people who looked exactly the same crawl out of the soil!"
"What!" Fu Shu and Le You were really surprised this time, "Could it be that the monster is not only unkillable, but can also regenerate?"
"Yes, I was too surprised, so I didn't kill them immediately. They crawled out of the ground and ran away after seeing me. I didn't chase after me, but dug open the mound to check. Really gone."
"The two heads and two bodies turned into four complete and fresh monsters?"
"That's right!"
Fu Shu and Le You looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes: such a strange thing is really unheard of, never seen before. "and after?"
"Afterwards, I chose a direction to chase and dismembered one of the monsters. This time, I didn't bury them anymore. I just put them in front of my eyes and watched them regenerate!"
Fu Shu thought about the scene and felt disturbed, "Hi Taoist...! Can you see how they regenerated?"
"I see! The torso after being dismantled into eight pieces has turned back into its original body, and then grew into a complete body one by one in a few days, and after growing up, it turned into a human form, exactly the same as before!"
"The Taoist priest saw the original body of the monster? What kind of monster is it?"
"Ji Gu."
"It's actually Ji Gu!" Fu Shu saw Le You's face was blank, as if he had never heard of this thing before, and explained: "It's a kind of insect, most of them live in warm and humid lands or in the sea." He asked again: "Although this insect is common , but the maximum
