Chapter XVIII: Invited Again
After a tired night, the Dream Youtian Master was having a spring and autumn dream, and suddenly saw the color of gold and silver in a trance, and sure enough, he opened his eyes and turned over to see that there was only a plate of gold nuggets shining with golden light on the table of the Eight Immortals, which was originally only a tea set, and now there was a plate of gold nuggets shining with golden light, which dazzled his eyes, and he pinched his thighs urgently, so painful, sure that he was not dreaming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info looked at it, and there were actually three more people and three men in the room.
At this time, Wang Yuanwai actually sat in front of him with a smile, and the two male servants stood behind him with their hands bowed respectfully.
Originally, the Dream Youtian Master was very happy to see the gold nuggets, but he suddenly found that Wang Yuanwai was sitting in front of him, and his smiling face was suddenly a little angry, but the plate full of gold was in front of him, and the anger that had just risen in his heart was naturally suppressed, but he still deliberately kept a straight face and did not speak.
"Oh, Celestial Master, are you awake?" Wang Yuanwai saw that the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master was a little unhappy, so he asked cautiously.
Dream Heaven's eyes lit up, staring at the gold on the table and said, "What? ā
"Heavenly Master, please Haihan, last night, the old man was indeed angry with the butler's lies. Please don't blame the Heavenly Master. This is last night's hard work, so please accept it. Wang Yuanwai stood up and said politely.
"Oh, that's too ...... A little more, right? "The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master deliberately provoked him with words.
"This ......" Wang Yuanwai was naturally clear about this kind of sophisticated human feelings, and he didn't say anything when he heard the words, but glanced at the servant behind him out of the corner of his eye.
One of the servants, who had been attentive to his master's eyes, reached out and took a large gold ingot from his bosom and gently placed it on his plate.
There was a thud of metal clashing.
Hey, looking at this wonderful action and listening to this moving sound, the Dream Heavenly Master laughed wildly in his heart.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Naturally, the Heavenly Master did not show the ecstasy in his heart, but he had already hurriedly picked up the plate of gold nuggets in his hand and wrapped it in a cloth bag.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanwai continued: "It's still a haunted matter of the house, and there is Lao Tianshi to strike again. ā
"Didn't you say that this Heavenly Master is acting? This time, the driver actually came in person, and he really didn't dare to be it. ā
"I hope you will forgive me for bothering the Heavenly Master. The prime minister's belly is so supporting."
"Hmm. Look at this golden ...... The face of the Jinluan Palace, who has been an official for many years, please continue, if this Heavenly Master can serve, he will do his best. The Dream Heavenly Master said lightly.
"The Heavenly Master really has the strength, okay, the old man continued, after thinking about it last night, this matter in the mansion must still be asked by a strong mage. The old man sent people to find all the inns in the town this morning to find the trace of the Heavenly Master. Wait here early. ā
Dream Shadow Heavenly Master looked at that hour, it was already afternoon, presumably he tossed all night last night, tired, fortunately last night was kicked by the cat demon and the injury was not serious, but he could also feel a faint pain. At this moment, this person has seven points of sincerity.
Mengyou Heavenly Master said: "Okay, Gu Nian is sincere outside, and he actually waited here early, but there is a little bit of the momentum of Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms worshipping Wolong, then this Heavenly Master will go again." ā
"Thank you, Heavenly Master. Please. The king stretched out his hand.
"Apprentice, get up and get to work!" The Dream Shadow Celestial Master walked over to the wall and slammed it hard. After a while, Li Tianqi rubbed his eyes and ran over, of course, he was also stunned when he saw Wang Yuanwai and his gang, but when he saw the master's radiant spirit, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Pack your things and go." The Dream Celestial Master commanded, pouting at the bag of gold Nunu placed on the bed, "Pay attention to that heavy bag. ā
"Yes, Master." Li Tianqi hurriedly lifted his spirits and packed up his things.
"Outside, this Heavenly Master told you that this Heavenly Master went to hunt demons last night......" Mengyou Heavenly Master wanted to brag about the cat demon he met last night in front of Wang Yuanwai, but after thinking about it, he climbed over the wall and entered the house without the consent of the owner, this is a crime, although it is a back garden, but it is not glorious. Therefore, the topic was brought to other aspects and was not continued.
Li Tianqi shook his head, feeling a little helpless about him, the master, he was basically asleep the whole time of the demon hunt last night. However, he is naturally not a man of many tongues.
Out of the inn, Fang Jue was already bright. Mengyou Tianshi and Li Tianqi and the others walked slowly, avoiding the passers-by from time to time, and the pedestrians on the street rubbed shoulders one after another, and a man in a strong suit wearing a straw hat walked over, the straw hat covered his face, and soon passed by Li Tianqi and walked over. Although Li Tianqi felt that this person's outfit was a little familiar, he didn't think so.
When I came to the gate of the Yuanwai Mansion again, I saw from a distance that there were already servants waiting on both sides.
"Oh, that's kind. Outside the staff, so grand. The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master smiled.
The king smiled and said nothing.
A group of people walked into the mansion, but the huge mansion was now majestic standing three people with gold and silver masks with blue cloaks. It was Yang Duwei and his two subordinates. When Duwei Yang saw them walk in, he immediately put away the positioning compass in his sleeve pocket.
Mengyou Heavenly Master subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and looked sideways at Wang Yuanwai who was walking beside him.
"Oh, Heavenly Master, don't get me wrong. These court officials, with an edict, came here to find out the facts of the case, just to see if there was anything they were looking for. Wang Yuanwai hurriedly explained.
"What, when we are suspects? You trap! The Heavenly Master was a little dissatisfied, and at this time, Yang Duwei and two subordinates walked over head-on.
"Master, they're the men who rode horses last night." Li Tianqi whispered in the ear of the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master.
"It turned out to be them, but we didn't do anything, what are we afraid of?" The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master looked like he didn't care, but his heart had already begun to beat the drums.
"There are laborers." After Yang Duwei finished speaking, he walked over slowly.
"Wronging the Heavenly Master, in fact, is just going through the motions, after all, they are old acquaintances, and they also have an explanation." The king motioned to his servant and offered another gold ingot.
"Then forget it." The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master smiled and blossomed.
"This Daoist, we should have mentioned to you that we are only here to find something." Yang Duwei arched his hand.
The Dream Heavenly Master also returned the salute: "I don't know what item the military master is looking for." ā
"It's a matter of confidentiality, and I can't say it later." Yang Duwei said.
"Okay, for the sake of the outside of the staff, the Taoist leader and the apprentice will cooperate." Dream Shadow Heavenly Master said.
"Good. You've stayed at that Yuelai Inn dozens of miles west of the city, right? There is an old locust tree. Yang Duwei asked.
"Nope." The Dream Shadow Celestial Master shook his head. At this time, Ding Hu Su Cang was already standing in front of them.
"Really?"
"Seriously."
"Then we had to search our bodies and offend." Yang Duwei motioned to Ding Hu and Su Cang to start searching.
Hearing this, Li Tianqi suddenly subconsciously touched his arms, and was startled, the straw rope necklace was actually missing, and he put it in his arms after he rescued Xiao Yan back into the house last night.
Ding Hu noticed Li Tianqi's sudden movements, became suspicious, and carefully examined his whole body, but found nothing.
"Nope. The miscellaneous old way that the inn junior said should not be them. After Ding Hu Su Cang's inspection, he shook his head.
That little two actually said that I was a miscellaneous veteran? , this kid, next time I see him, I'm going to give him a good look. The Dream Heavenly Master thought hatefully.
"Offended." Yang Duwei said to Mengyou Heavenly Master and Li Tianqi. Then he said goodbye to Wang Yuanwai: "Excuse me, outside the staff, farewell to the court, it has been a few months since your old Zhishi returned home, and we passed by here and received a warm reception last night." ā
"What's the matter, the lieutenant has to come over at any time." Wang Yuanwai said with a smile.
"Good!" Yang Duwei clenched his fists and smiled, "Old superior, his subordinates are entangled in military affairs, so we will leave." ā
The three of them turned around and strode out.
"Looking for something." The Dream Celestial Master muttered as he looked at the departing backs of the three of them.
"Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master. Come, come, please. Wang Yuanwai's words interrupted the thoughts of the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master.
Li Tianqi thought that maybe the straw rope necklace had fallen at the inn, so he didn't look for it again.
Since the time for the practice had not yet arrived, the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master accompanied the king into the inner room to chat.
Li Tianqi came to the black room and saw Xiao Yan packing up his things and about to walk out of the black room.
"Brother Apocalypse."
"Xiao Yan, are you okay?"
"Me? It's okay. I just feel dizzy and swollen, maybe I caught a cold last night. Brother Apocalypse, I thought you were gone. ā
From Xiao Yan's words, she didn't hear her fear of the scene of encountering the cat demon, Xu was taken away in a coma last night, Li Tianqi wanted to tell Xiao Yan, but then thought about it, since the cat demon has been removed, and Xiao Yan is indeed fine, she doesn't know about it, so there is no need to mention this frightening encounter in front of her.
"I won't leave here until I find Xiaohong."
"Brother Apocalypse, is there a clue?"
"I have a feeling that Xiaohong is still in the house."
"Brother Apocalypse, then you have to find her quickly."
"Hmm. Where does she live? ā
"Brother Apocalypse, this is the sketch of the house I drew last night, this is the residence of the maids and the manservants, and over there is the bedroom outside the staff, and this black house is where Xiaohong disappeared last......" Xiao Yan took out a white cloth, on which a sketch was scribbled with charcoal, and several places were marked on it, and she pointed to the sketch and introduced it to Li Tianqi.
"Xiao Yan, you are so smart." Li Tianqi took it.
"Brother Apocalypse, then I'll go and get busy first, otherwise I'll be punished to stay here for the night." Xiao Yan had palpitations.
"Okay."
Looking at the back of Xiao Yan leaving in a hurry, Li Tianqi had an indescribable taste in his heart, he expected that he would become strong and could help these people in need, so he put away the sketch.
After all, last night was already leading the way, and Li Tianqi was still a little happy in his heart.
"Hey! Hey" Li Tianqi couldn't help but think back to the Tiangang steps taught by the master last night, and the wonderful body method of the old monk, and practiced in the back garden. Although the movements are decent, but the inner cultivation method has not been mastered, so I can only play some routines.
