Broken mirror to practice Taoism

"Which one does Master think it is?"

Xue Yuandao didn't answer Ergou, but changed the subject, "Didn't you just want to ask where the money came from?"

"Ah?" Ergou was a little confused.

"Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Xue Yuandao took Ergou all the way across Guiyuan.Guiyuan is indeed a plain here, as long as you step out of the house, you can see all kinds of flowers and plants.All the people here live on this plain, and even some flowers and plants grow on the houses built with mud.

"Master, what if it rains in this place?" Ergou couldn't help asking as he looked at the forts piled up with mud.

"It never rains in Guiyuan." Xue Yuandao explained, "This is a plain where the four seasons are like spring. There will be no harsh winter or hot summer. Even the rainy season seems to avoid this city on purpose."

"Wow!" Ergou exclaimed in surprise, "So powerful?"

"We're here." Before Ergou could continue asking, Xue Yuandao had already stopped.Ergou looked in front of Xue Yuandao, this mud castle was different from the surrounding mud castles, it was not a simple semicircle, but a regular square, somewhat like houses in the Central Plains.

But the four corners of this house are not sharp because of the softness of the soil, and they are slightly curved.Above the gate of the mud castle, there is a plaque in the shape of mud, with two big characters "Yuluo" written on it.

There was a puppy at the door. Xue Yuandao squatted down and patted the puppy's head. The puppy yelled friendlyly at Xue Yuandao twice, then turned around and ran into the castle.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"This mud castle doesn't have a gate, and visitors can't knock on the door, so the little dog at the gate passes it on for them."

After hearing Xue Yuandao's explanation, Ergou noticed that there was a puppy at the gate of every fort on this road.People in the Central Plains also have the habit of keeping dogs. When Ergou used to beg for food, he could always see people from rich families taking their servants out for a walk with their dogs, so he didn't notice it when he first walked in.

Sure enough, not long after, the puppy brought a man to the two of them.The man was dressed very plainly. When he saw Xue Yuandao and Ergou, he asked very respectfully, "I don't know what you two are doing?"

"Exorcism." Xue Yuandao answered succinctly.

The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and said to Xue Yuandao and Ergou in an inviting gesture, "Please come inside!"

Ergou was invited in along with Xue Yuandao. After entering the castle, Ergou discovered that the construction of Guiyuan was really amazing.Even though it is indoors, it is still covered by grass, and there is a pool of water in the center of the grass. The two sides of the pool are decorated with stones, which looks very atmospheric.

Ergou followed Xue Yuandao while looking at every scene in surprise.

"This little brother is probably coming here for the first time." The man noticed Ergou's behavior and couldn't help asking.

"Well, it's my first time here." Ergou responded to the man's words, "It's amazing."

"Haha." The man smiled, and then said, "This is the wisdom of our ancestors, and we are just passing it on. I grew up here, and I am used to it."

Although the scenery inside is very spectacular, it is a castle after all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot be compared with the courtyards of wealthy people in the Central Plains.Under the leadership of this man, the three of them soon came to a house.

The reason why it is called a house is because it is indeed like a house in the Central Plains, and it looks like a square.It's just that this house is made of mud, and there are no doors and windows as the entrance, but a relatively high step.

"Your Majesty, the little one has already brought him here."

The man walked to the top of the steps, Xue Yuandao stopped Ergou and asked Ergou to wait with him at the bottom of the steps.

A deep voice came from inside, "Let them in."

"Yes."

The servant did not get up after responding, but still knelt on the ground, but slightly moved his body away, leaving a way for the two to walk in.Xue Yuandao led Ergou up the steps and into the house.As soon as they entered the house, Ergou saw the owner of the voice just now.

He is indeed a very majestic man, and he is very worthy of his thick voice.The lower half of his face was completely covered by his thick beard, leaving only a sausage-like mouth in the middle.

"Your Excellency is a Taoist priest?"

Xue Yuandao stood in front of the man and nodded.

"That's really great!" The man said in surprise, "My king's name is Lizha Mo Ulmado. If the immortals don't mind, they can call me Ulmado."

"Let's get down to business." Xue Yuandao didn't want to be polite with this person, so he said directly.

Ulmodo was not angry with Xue Yuandao's attitude, instead, he politely served food, sat down with Xue Yuandao and Ergou, and then slowly said: "This matter started half a year ago. Speaking of..."

Half a year ago, Ulmodo's daughter Li Zha Mo Lilier turned 17 years old. According to Guiyuan's rules, 17 years old is an adult.After becoming an adult, Guiyuan's daughter has to marry a man from the same family according to the marriage contract made by her parents.

Lizhang Molili and Liluo's Liyuan Pugero grew up together, but there was a servant Ainan who served Liyuan Pugero in between.Ainan was five years older than Lilier, but happened to be the same age as Pu Geluo.Since she was a child, Lili didn't like the servant of Pugeluo very much, but Pugualuo was more gentle, and Ainan was homeless without father and mother, so even if Lilier didn't like it, Pugualuo Nor did he order Ainan to leave.

Just a month ago, the three of them went out to play together, and happened to be robbed by robbers. As a servant, Ai Nan must protect his master.Lilier and Pugero came back, but Ainan died there.

Probably after going through that kind of thing, Lilier didn't complain about Ainan when she came back.In order to thank Ainan for saving the lives of Lilier and Pugeluo, the two families followed Lilier's suggestion and built a tomb in a distant mountain, which was regarded as a practice for the child.

Without Ainan, the relationship between Lilier and Pugle was very good. On the second day of Lilier's coming-of-age ceremony, the two families discussed and prepared for their marriage.But during this time, the relationship between Lilier and Pugle suddenly became cold.

The two were always arguing, the worst time Pugle even slapped Lilier.

But Lilier didn't get angry, and Pugle didn't apologize, so the two families thought it was a joke between the two children, and then didn't care.Until the night of the wedding, Pugle was out drinking with the guests, and after a few drinks, he suddenly fell on the table and fell into a deep sleep.The guests thought he was drunk, so they jointly carried him into the new house.

As a result, when they got to the new house, they saw that the walls of the new house were all stained with blood, and Lilier's body was sitting on the bed in the room just like that.At that moment Pugle suddenly woke up, and ran towards Lilier on the bed.

And Lilier had already lost her breath, and the blood on her body was all coagulated on the wedding dress.

The guests felt very sympathetic when they saw this scene, and wanted to step forward to comfort Pugel, but Pugel just took a look, and then walked out of the room expressionlessly.

About half a month ago, Pugel's mother saw that Pugel had been bored in the house and was unwilling to go out. When Pugel's brother came home, he wanted Pugel's brother to persuade him.But as soon as they entered the door, the two saw that the four walls of Pugel's room were covered with the same blood stains as Lilier's wedding room, and Pugel died in the same way as Lilier.

"Puggle and Lilier grew up together, and Lilier is the only daughter of the king, and Pugle is like the king's son." Ulmodo said painfully, "But within a month, Ben Wang not only lost his only daughter, but the key is that the murderer has not been caught by the government so far."

"Where is the princess?" Xue Yuandao asked Ulmado.

When mentioning the princess, Ulmodo's expression became even more sad, "Princess... she was long before Lilier got married..."

"You take me to see her."

Ulmodo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

When Ulmodo walked out the door with Ergou and Xue Yuandao, the servant outside the door still knelt on the steps without looking up.Ulmodo led the way, and Ergou deliberately walked up to Xue Yuandao, and asked in a low voice, "Master, why does that person keep kneeling like that?"

Xue Yuandao didn't speak, but Ergou could feel Xue Yuandao's voice resounding in his mind, "Guiyuan has different honors here, the royal family is the most honorable, and as servants of the royal family, they can only kneel down and worship, except for growing up with themselves. "

Er Gou didn't make any more noise, and obediently followed Xue Yuandao.

It didn't take long for the three of them to go to another room. There were two maids standing on the steps of the room. The moment they saw Ulmodo, they immediately knelt down.Ulmodo took Xue Yuandao and Ergou up together, and when he passed in front of the maid, he asked, "Is the princess all right?"

"Your Majesty, Princess...is not very well."

Ulmodo didn't blame them, just sighed deeply, and then walked in with Xue Yuandao and Ergou.

There was a stone table just after entering the room, and a very beautiful woman was sitting at the stone table, staring straight ahead with blank eyes.Ergou already knew the identity of this woman without Ulmado's introduction.

"Vivier, I brought someone to see you."

Ulmodo didn't call himself "the king" in front of this woman. All the coldness in his eyes turned into tenderness in front of this woman.Ergou couldn't help being a little surprised, looking at the scene in front of him.

Ulmodo lowered his head slightly, and gently branded a kiss on the face of the famous "Vivier" princess. Vivier didn't respond at all, but Ulmado was not angry, and just helped her tidy up slightly. After getting dressed, he turned to Xue Yuandao and said, "Look, Immortal."
