Chapter 112: It Definitely Didn't Work Out
readx;? The screen was silent for two seconds, as if hesitating to speak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The room was empty, and there was no furniture except for the screen. Shen Liang hugged the black cat, simply sat on the ground against the wall, trapped in it for nearly a day and a night, hungry and sleepy, and had to protect the children of the Wang family at all times, beware of the attacks of those infant spirits and evil beasts, he was already too tired to do it.
The tea trays brought by Wang Lun were all buckled on the ground, and there was no tea left. Xu Mu rummaged through the blue lacquered water cup that Feng Yuan gave him in his backpack, wanting Shen Liang to drink some water to quench his thirst first.
He picked up the cup and froze, this morning he came out in such a hurry that he forgot to fill the water!
Looking at Xu Mu's annoyed look, Feng Yuan guessed seven or eight points, he chuckled and rubbed Xu Mu's head, "You guys wait a while, I'll go downstairs to get water." ”
[I have, I have tea.] The screen looked like it wanted to make meritorious contributions, and quickly released a teapot with fine white porcelain painted flowers, accompanied by two cups.
Xu Mu: ..................
Are you sure this thing can be drunk?
If you look closely, this set of tea sets painted with the pattern of roses in the old town is almost exactly the same as the one that Wang Lun smashed on the ground just now, and the spout of the pot is still steaming!
[I collected it in this house a few days ago,] The screen was stared at by Xu Mu a little weak, and a few words came out on the white silk, [Sometimes, I will collect more things. 】
Xu Mu was still wondering if there was a problem with this pot of tea, but Shen Liang, who was already so thirsty, couldn't help it, he flicked his fingers and threw Zhang Tianhuo talisman on the screen, and poured himself a cup with his hands and feet, "I'll drink it first, if there is a problem, the talisman is enough to burn it." ”
The white silk of the screen twitched, [It must be fine.] 】
Feng Yuan looked at the pot of tea, and raised his eyebrows to look at the screen, "In that case, do you have a chair or a sofa?" If it does, it doesn't need to be used in vain.
Xu Mu: ..................
Brother, do you think it's Tinker Bell?
[There are only two chairs, can you add a round stool?] The screen asked cautiously, and his attitude was very cooperative. It remembered that this man was the one from the Three Realms Public Security Administration.
The corners of Xu Mu's mouth twitched, and there were two more chairs in the room with a hat in their early four and a porcelain round stool made of rosewood.
Shen Liang grabbed the porcelain-faced round stool nearby, and Feng Yuan dragged Xu Mu to sit down on the two official hat chairs next to him. The screen couldn't delay any longer, so he had to talk about his own affairs slowly.
Six hundred years ago, this rosewood screen was ignorant and enlightened, and after a hundred years of cultivation, a bird crashed into the screen and landed on the branches. It suddenly realized that it could actually "swallow" something from the outside into its own screen.
As a result, it began to lure various objects into its screen, trying to draw additional aura from them.
In this way, it unscrupulously "eats" the Quartet, and more than two hundred years later, it accidentally "swallows" a child. The child's family invited a powerful Taoist priest to subdue it, which was only at the third level at the time, in three or two clicks. After spitting out the child, it was taken away by the Taoist priest.
I thought that I would definitely be completely killed by the Taoist priest, but I didn't expect that the Taoist priest took away half of its qi root, but said that he could give it two options. One is to kill it now, and the other is to provide it with an elixir for the youkai to absorb aura, as long as it helps to catch more children in the future.
The Taoist priest who caught the child? Xu Mu and Feng Yuan glanced at each other, and at the same time thought of the group of evil ways that were extinguished.
"Is that Taoist priest a person who is empty?" Xu Mu asked. Such a frenzied act is too much like a gang of wasted guys.
Shen Liang raised his chin and looked at Xu Mu, he still remembered that Xu Mu had asked him this question last time, but he didn't know, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Master, but he forgot it.
None of the people in the room paid attention, and when they heard the word "void", the black cat's leisurely tail paused violently.
[I don't know, although I have met four or five Taoist priests one after another, none of them have told me their names. 】
"Do you have a way to find them?"
[They come to me every time...... By the way, the bottle where they put the elixir has a red pattern, as if it is a flower with nine petals. 】
Nine petals? Xu Mu looked at Feng Yuan, the other party shook his head slightly, he didn't know what this so-called nine-petal flower meant.
The courier brother blinked, it seemed that he had to find a chance to ask the pig again, it was useless to see something with a similar pattern in Xuzhi at the beginning.
The screen of desperate survival chose the second way. Moreover, the pill given by the Taoist priest was much richer than what the screen usually swallowed by itself, and eating one was worth three or five years of its usual cultivation. The screen could not resist this huge temptation, so it began to "devour" children under the age of ten in various places under the direction of the Taoist priest.
Every time a Taoist priest came to pick up a child, he would give it a large amount of pills. But the Taoist priest only needs the flesh/body of those children, and most of the three souls and seven spirits are drawn out by the Taoist priest, some are directly destroyed, and some are thrown on its side. It was afraid of being found abnormal, and it did not dare to release the souls of those children, and those children who were trapped in the screen lingered for many years, and over time, some of them became resentful spirits.
Shen Liang puffed out his baby's fat face melancholy, and those who besieged them should be the resentful spirits in the mouth of the screen.
"Those light-colored children on the screen, are all souls left?" Xu Mu remembered the difference he had observed before, and asked the screen.
【…… Right. The screen took a long time before answering. That's why it just said that he couldn't do anything about the children who were taken away before. Most of them are just spirits or spirits.
Feng Yuan's slender fingers tapped on the armrest of the official hat chair unhurriedly, and he said in a cold tone, "For the tiger, how much worse is your behavior than killing these children with your own hands?"
[My lord, they took my qi root, if I don't help, even if I escape, I will be caught, and then it will definitely be a dead end. The silk surface of the screen twitched, trying to justify himself.
"Afraid of death or to take those pills to cultivate, you know it in your own heart. Feng Yuan's tone became more and more cold, "If you can't provide some clues to atone, I can't help you." ”
His knuckles felt like they were striking on the screen, and the white silk on its body twisted.
The screen was entangled for a while, and seemed to be thinking hard, [They usually come to me once in about ten years, and the last time they came, it should be ** years ago. 】
In other words, regardless of whether the evil path is a void or not, they should soon come to the screen to take away the children it has devoured during this time, and as long as they are arranged around it, they should have a chance to catch those people.
Feng Yuan secretly estimated himself in his heart, and still looked at the screen with a cold face, "It's gone?"
[My lord, I really don't know much about them, otherwise, otherwise I would have sacrificed all the things I have collected over the years to you, which is considered atonement?]
After a period of darkness, many things were piled up in the room, ranging from the Luohan bed around the screen, the Ruyi pattern warped head case, the small ring earrings, and the women's jewelry head, almost drowning the three people in the room. If Xu Mu hadn't blocked it, one of the small square tables that suddenly slipped down almost hit Shen Liang's nose.
The courier brother twitched the corner of his mouth, this screen is really a good hand for living at home.
Wait a minute.
Xu Mu looked at the exquisitely carved flower tooth tray corner on the small mahogany square table in front of him, and suddenly reacted, these things are real antiques, not usual!
The bronze goblet on the left, compared to the one in the enlightened beast store, is worth at least 250,000, the double fish mirror in front, this size is also 200,000 and did not run, and the jade bracelet over there is imperial green, and it is estimated that one million can't be taken down.
The courier brother's eyes are shining, in this pile of things, you can exchange it for hundreds of thousands of dollars if you take one piece out!
Feng Yuan poked the cheek of the little wealth fan, "Just take a look, these must be handed over to the Three Realms Public Security Administration." ”
Xu Mu: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feng Yuan turned his head to the screen and said, "Take everything back first." ”
The screen was busy and began to recycle again.
Watching those things leave him one after another, the empty joy of the little wealth fan's glass heart was simply broken.
Seeing his wilting appearance, Feng Yuan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a wicked taste, "Otherwise, in order to praise you for your help this time, I would like to pick something for you." ”
Xu Mu immediately raised his head.
Feng Yuan bent down and picked up two fallen copper coins from the ground, and threw one to Shen Liang, "I'll give you a shock." Then he put the other one in Xu Mu's palm, "This one is yours." ”
Xu Mu: ....................................
Can you pick a cheaper one?
Thinking of helping the children downstairs find their families, Feng Yuan interrogated the screen a few more questions about the identities of the children downstairs. It's a pity that the screen only remembers that these children were "swallowed" in Yuzhong and Hanxing, and it is not clear who the children's surnames are or the information of their families.
After the three of them went downstairs, the Wang family was very grateful, knowing that they had not eaten lunch, Wang Lun specially booked a table in the largest Dingtai Building nearby. I heard that the grandson was back, and Wang Xu'an's sick wife was mostly better, and everyone had a happy meal.
The Wang family was not half dissatisfied with Feng Yuan's decision to arrange someone to take away the screen, and Wang Xu'an also specially gave two bank cards to Feng Yuan and Shen Liang respectively as a reward. Shen Liang felt that he didn't help, and he wanted to excuse himself with a small face, but Wang Xu'an refused, and he also saw it in the painting with his own eyes when Shen Liang protected his grandson, not to mention, with Master Shen's current reputation, it was worth spending money to make a friend. Wang Lun and his wife also specially sent three Jinyuan's VIP cards to Xu Mu Feng Yuan and Shen Liang, and said that as long as they came, they would all be free of charge.
During the banquet, Wang Xu'an also patted his chest and promised that if those children could not find their families in the future, they would all adopt them, and he should thank God for sending his grandson back.
On the way home, Shen Liang briefly talked about the situation of his strayed into the picture screen, and Xu Mu gave Shen Liang and the black cat science about the nonsense. Shen Liang was stunned inexplicably, he didn't expect that there was such a group of Taoist priests in the world, with great talent, but they were all used on crooked roads.
Xu Mu told him that he had already directly bumped into those people and reminded Shen Liang to be more careful in the future.
The black cat was stiff in Shen Liang's arms, and he didn't say a word the whole time.
When he got home, Feng Yuan handed the bank card to Xu Mu, and the courier brother who checked the account immediately widened his eyes, and counted the zeros in the text message back and forth several times, and there was actually a full million in it!
Xu Mu locked the card in the safe in the study at that time, and of course, put the copper coin in it by the way.
Half an hour later, I didn't feel at ease, so I went to the study to take a look. After taking a shower, I went over and looked at it again.
Before going to bed, when he got out of the quilt and wanted to run to the study, he was stopped by Feng Yuan and pressed on the bed, "Don't toss, that card just came out this year, it must not have been cultivated into a monster, and it can't run." ”
Xu Mu: ..............................
