When Ming Yijun asked this sentence, the air seemed to freeze.

The two officers were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and they couldn't say a word. And Zhan Lu was also stunned by this scene, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Suddenly, there was a "dang chang" sound at the door, breaking the silence. It turned out that the Taoist priest threw the heavy copper compass in his hand on the ground and ran away as if he were in smoke.

The legs of the two officers were weak, and they secretly complained in their hearts. Originally, I thought that this was a good errand, not only to save trouble, but also to knock a sum of money if I couldn't keep it. Who would have thought that they would really encounter such a monster? Now that the Taoist priest has run away, but the two of them still have to go to the county master to get their lives. You can't just walk away. The two of them thought so, and although the two were trembling, they still held the scabbard in their hands, and pulled out their knives to face the giant beast in front of them.

Ming Yijun naturally wouldn't be afraid of this kind of mortal blade, but he hated being pointed at with a knife like this. He frowned and snorted, and the steel knives in the hands of the two officers snapped from them.

The two officers were completely frightened at this time, and when they tried to run wildly, they only felt that their legs were completely unable to exert their strength. simply knelt on the ground and pleaded with Ming Yijun:

"The two of us have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, and we don't know that the Divine Monarch is here, so we collided with the Divine Monarch and asked the Divine Monarch for forgiveness. ”

Ming Yijun ignored them, just closed his eyes again, closed his eyes and recuperated, the two wanted to take this opportunity to slip away, but their legs were weak and they couldn't move at all.

At this time, the footsteps of two people suddenly came from outside. One of them walked unhurriedly, while the other seemed to be a little muddy.

The two men gradually approached, and everyone saw that the one walking in front was the Taoist priest who had just run out. The Taoist priest was slumped at this time, and he completely lost his spirit.

The person who followed the Taoist priest was also a Taoist priest. It's just that the Taoist priest in the back has a beautiful appearance, a very delicate face, and the Taoist robe he is wearing is also quite exquisite, and his appearance is by no means comparable to the previous Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest seemed to be a person in charge of the overall situation, he walked closer, stretched out his hands and flicked it gently, and the two servants only felt a light on their bodies, and stood up.

But I saw this Taoist priest bowing to Ming Yijun:

"Shenjun, my teacher and nephew are reckless, I don't know that Shenjun is here, and I can't help disturbing Shenjun's sleep. ”

Ming Yijun didn't open his eyes, just nodded:

"Next time, tell him to be careful and don't always make a fuss. ”

The Taoist priest respectfully replied yes, and then took his master and nephew, carried the two messengers out, and carefully closed the door, before he said to everyone:

"The one inside is a divine beast born in ancient times, and now he lives in seclusion here for a while, you are so bold!

The two officers were shocked, and after a while, they recovered and thanked the Taoist priest:

"Thank you for saving your life today, who is the Taoist chief?"

The Taoist priest pointed to the wizened Taoist priest next to him, and said with a smile:

"I'm this kid's uncle, and my name is Qingxuan. ”

The two messengers looked at the wilted Taoist priest standing next to him, his face was full of weather, and he looked like he was in his forties, and then looked at the Taoist priest in front of him who claimed to be a Qingxuan Taoist with white lips and red lips, and he was in his twenties, and they all showed a look of disbelief. But I saw the wilted Taoist priest kneeling down with a puff and said to Qingxuan Daodao:

"The little nephew is not good at learning, and he has caused trouble for my uncle. ”

The two messengers believed it, and hurriedly saluted Qing Xuan, and said:

"Our brothers were sent down by the county magistrate, and now when we encounter such a thing, the knife is broken, and we really can't go back. I also asked the two Taoist masters to accompany us to the county, tell us about today's events, and testify for our brothers, so that we can explain. ”

Qing Xuan readily agreed. The two messengers bowed their hands to Zhan Lu:

"I'm sorry to disturb the little lady today. We are also tolerant and involuntarily. ”

Zhan Lu said that he couldn't stand the two of them, and gave the two servants five taels of silver, saying that they couldn't let them break the knife in vain.

After the two messengers thanked Zhan Lu, they asked Qing Xuan to take his nephew with them, leaving Zhan Lu to turn around and go back to find Ming Yijun.

At this time, Ming Yijun had already changed back into human form, with clothes on his body, and sat in the room very leisurely. Seeing Zhan Lu come in, a smile appeared on his face:

"You sent those guys away?"

Zhan Lu glanced at him:

"Why are you lying in the house like that? It scared me to death when I saw it. ”

Ming Yijun smiled:

"It was noisy outside, so I went inside and hid to sleep. It wasn't comfortable to sleep in human form, so I changed back to my original form. I thought it would be a few days before they came, and who knew those guys would come so quickly. ”

Zhan Lu snorted and asked again:

"The helper you're looking for is Qingxuan?"

Ming Yijun nodded:

"Exactly. Although he is not a human body, he is also a Taoist priest of Taibai Mountain. The people here still attach great importance to those bull-nosed old ways in Taibai Mountain, and he is not low in Taibai Mountain, so it is perfect to ask him for help. ”

Zhan Lu nodded:

"I see, I thought you had someone else to help you. ”

Ming Yijun laughed:

"Who else do you think I can find? If I let those scattered immortals I made friends with in the past, or those who have not helped or devoured them, they may not be able to help, such a trivial matter, they have to turn against me. That fox not only has the identity of a Taoist priest, but he has always been very clever, so it is very suitable for him to do this. ”

Zhan Lu smiled:

"He's handled it well. It's just that now your true body has been shown by those two officials and the Taoist priest, how can it be good?"

Ming Yijun shook his head:

"It's okay. The fox is a measured person, knowing that this matter is very important, and letting the people in the market know that my storage is not a good thing for me or for Taibai Mountain. He would have told them not to talk nonsense. But even if there is any rumor, I don't have anything to fear, it's just that you still have to stay here, it's a bit troublesome, it's really a big deal, but I just took you back to the southwest. ”

When Zhan Lu heard Ming Yijun say this, he was relieved. I turned around and went to the kitchen to bring my food. When Ming Yijun looked at the green dish, he couldn't help frowning:

"Dandelion, how did you come up with this?"

Zhan Lu smiled:

She said that this is a fresh wild vegetable in the spring, and it is best to eat it now. I've only blanched it with water, and with the sauce, it should be delicious. ”

Ming Yijun smiled:

"It's kind of ambitious, but it tastes a little bitter. ”

Zhan Lu was a little curious and asked:

"Is it unpalatable?"

Ming Yijun stretched out his chopsticks, took a few slices of sauce, and put them in his mouth:

"It's not unpalatable, it's a bit interesting. ”

Zhan Lu also sandwiched some to eat, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it delicious?"

While the two were eating, Daoist Qingxuan came back from the county office, and he smiled:

"The matter is settled, I explained to the county commander to understand, only said that Lang Jun is a divine beast in the sky, can keep one side safe, the county order heard about it, and quickly wanted to come to visit, I told him that Lang Jun is happy and quiet, just don't bother. The county magistrate even claimed that he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I only said that people outside the party did not want to associate with the officialdom, so the county magistrate gave me twenty taels of silver and sent me out.

Ever since Lang Jun told me about this, I've been paying attention to it nearby. It just so happened that I went out for a while, and when I came back, I realized that something had happened. Fortunately, the kid they found was my nephew, and when I saw him running out outside, I quickly brought him back, but fortunately, I didn't cause trouble for Lang Jun. Now that the two officials and my nephew have been told well, they will definitely not talk nonsense. ”

When Ming Yijun heard this, he said:

"I'm tired. ”

Daoist Qingxuan was just about to say goodbye, but he heard Zhan Lu say:

"Since the Taoist chief came to help, and he didn't eat at the county master's place, wouldn't it be good to just eat with us? ”

When Ming Yijun heard this, he was quite displeased, but he didn't come out. However, how clever was that Qingxuan Daoist, how could he not be interested, and hurriedly said:

"You don't have to, I have to rush back to Taibai Mountain, so I won't accompany you this time. ”

Seeing that he insisted on refusing to stay, Zhan Lu sent him to the door, and came back to eat the wild vegetables with Ming Yijun along with the rice. Zhan Lu ate sweetly, but Ming Yijun didn't eat much. Seeing this, Zhan Lu ordered another bowl of noodles for him to eat.

For the next two months, time flowed like water, perhaps because Zhan Lu couldn't taste bitterness, and after she tried many dishes that were sweet and sour, or salty and spicy, she became interested in bitter foods. Therefore, she always has to make something more or less bitter every day. What bitter gourd, lotus seeds, bitter endive, etc., do it in a different way.

Ming Yijun didn't like to eat bitter tastes, but he didn't say anything, no matter what she cooked, he ate it silently.

And so it was the beginning of July.
