Volume X: 12 Swapping Falsehood for Truth
The stars were dark all night, and only the sound of coquettishness pierced through the silence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
In the early morning, I went to Ganquan Village in the northwest with my clothes.
Hearing the news that there were jade horizontal fragments in Ganquan Village, Shen Mu and the others came to Ganquan Village.
Ganquan Village is surrounded by water on all sides, the bamboo forest is luxuriant, the villagers make a living by raising bamboo fishing, because there is a spring in the village, its spring water is as sweet as Ganyi, so it is called Ganquan Village.
As soon as everyone came to the outside of Ganquan Village, it began to drizzle, and the slightest rain hit their faces, making people feel refreshed and sweet.
"Gan, Quan, Villageβthis is it, right?" Fang Lansheng looked up at the tall bamboo village sign at the entrance of the village, scratched his head and asked the people behind him.
Xiangling wiped a trace of rain from his face and chuckled: "There is really a lot of water~"
As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Mu affectionately, which made Shen Mu feel excited, and he didn't know what he meant.
At this time, an old man with a white beard, bent over and on crutches, walked out of the village, and looked at Shen Mu suspiciously: "...... How many are they? β
Ouyang Shaogong bowed his hand to the old man and said: "I have something to do, and I have to come here from Jiangdu, so I have to spend a few days." Dare to ask the old man, is there a place to stay in the village? β
The old man wiped the rain from his eyelids, nodded and said, "...... Our village, the place is very small, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to stay overnight, I see you-"
At this time, Shen Mu felt a sound of footsteps behind him, and then he heard a simple young man's voice, saying, "Pei Gong, since you are a guest from afar, let them stay with me." β
When they looked back, they saw a handsome young man in coarse cloth looking at them, walking in this direction.
Pei Gong looked at the young man, and said with a different color: "Yunping, you...... Are you back so early? β
Yun Ping said: "It's not too early, and it's not a big deal to just pick some herbs." Pei Gong, your wind chill happened to be not long ago, why did it come out? It's better to go back to the house to rest and rest, and I will greet the guests. β
Pei Gong nodded and said, "...... Okay, so you can talk slowly...... I'll go first......" said, still a little uneasy, and then turned to Yun Ping and said, "Yun Ping, you...... Don't slack off people. β
Yun Ping said: "Pei Gong can rest assured. β
The old man was still a little worried, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Looking at the staggering back of the old man leaving, Yun Ping hugged his fists at Shen Mu and the others and smiled: "Fortunately, the contemptible Luo Yunping is the village chief of Ganquan Village. β
Fang Lansheng was surprised: "I thought that the village chief and the town mayor could only be ...... with the old man who had lived a long time."
Luo Yunping smiled: "Haha, what the little brother said is not wrong. It's just that the village is a little different, almost all the young people go out to make a living, and only come back to see it during the New Year's holidays, and the rest of the village are mostly old and weak women and children, so everyone recommends me to take care of these relatives. β
Feng Qingxue praised: "Amazing~ You have to take care of so many people alone, then you must be very powerful?" β
Shen Mu doesn't like to listen to this, I wipe it, in front of Lao Tzu, praise other men for being amazing, it seems that Lao Tzu will give this little girl a good taste at night, so that she knows what is really powerful.
The young man Luo Yunping was praised by the beauty, and he also said with a shy face: "...... That is, if you are strong and strong, you can do your job, you can climb the mountain, this help, that family, it's all small things, and you can't do anything if you really encounter big things......"
I'm rubbing, how much more do you want to do here?! No, since this little girl has now been taken over by Lao Tzu, you must punish this little girl at night!
Shen Mu coughed lightly, and Luo Yunping hurriedly said: "Alas, don't talk about this, look at a few people dressed up, not like ordinary people, how can they come to our small village?" β
Ouyang Shaogong said: "It's not a secret, we are here to find something, hoping to find some clues." β
Then Ouyang Shaogong explained the purpose of coming in detail, and then asked Luo Yunping: "...... That's it, I don't know if Brother Luo has an impression of this thing? β
"......" Luo Yunping lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "...... A few months ago, a seriously injured man collapsed at the entrance of the village, and we took him into the village and hired a doctor, but the injury was too bad, and the doctor could not do anything, and the man died not long after. Before he died, he took out a small piece of jade to me, saying that it was for this treasure that he was killed...... That thing can't be a jade shard, right? β
Ouyang Shaogong said: "Brother Luo said that after the seriously injured person died, did he escape from his body and be sucked into the jade?" β
Luo Yunping shook his head and said, "...... I saw that he was out of breath and hurriedly called the doctor...... I didn't pay attention to ......."
Ouyang Shaogong didn't expect to get the whereabouts of the jade horizontal fragment in this way, and he was very excited in his heart, but he said expressionlessly on his face: "I don't know where the jade is now?" Yes or no, you can see at a glance. β
Shen Mu didn't say a word, just watched the conversation between the two lightly, but in his heart he was thinking about the matter of the jade horizontal fragment.
Luo Yunping hesitated a little and said, "...... I, I was afraid of causing trouble, so I hid it in the Fujisen cave in the middle of the village, where spring water gushes out during the day and can only be entered at night. β
Ouyang Shaogong's eyelids jumped slightly, and he arched his hand: "So...... Can you bother Brother Luo to get it for me? Or we can go to Fujisen Cave in person. I will thank you afterwards. β
Luo Yunping shook his hand and said, "I don't want any reward, that thing doesn't belong to Ganquan Village in the first place, of course it should be returned to you." β
Ouyang Shaogong said: "Then thank Brother Luo first." β
Luo Yunping said thoughtfully: "...... Ouyang Gongzi, you just said...... Using the power of jade horizontal fragments to refine medicine will refine evil things, and it is a curse or a blessing after people take it, this kind of ...... Is this bizarre thing all true? β
Ouyang Shaogong affirmed: "It's true, so I'm in a hurry to find the fragments, so as not to cause endless harm." β
Luo Yunping said: "...... I see, I'll take you into the Fujisen Cave after nightfall. It's not dark yet, so you can wander around the village, and if you're tired, you can go to my house and take a nap. My home is on the other side of the bamboo bridge, so it's easy to recognize. β
Ouyang Shaogong hugged Luo Yunping and said, "Admit it!" β
Hongyu looked at Luo Yunping's departing back, with doubts in her eyes, and muttered, "This Luo Yunping ......"
Feng Qingxue was puzzled: "...... If the thing hidden in the vine immortal cave is really a jade horizontal fragment, it is extremely smooth. β
Ouyang Shaogong smiled indifferently and said: "It's a good thing that there are no twists and turns, the scenery here is very beautiful, let's take a walk and take a look, it can be regarded as stealing half a day of leisure." With that, he and Hongyu walked towards the village.
Xiangling laughed and said, "Hehe, Xiangling wants to catch fish ~ big, fat fish ~" said with a worried face: "But ...... Is there anything in the water? β
Fang Lansheng said: "Don't you know if you go and see?" β
Feng Qingxue smiled: "I'm also with you." β
Xiangling didn't know the current relationship between Shen Mu and Feng Qingxue, and when she saw that Feng Qingxue also wanted to be together, she pouted and said a little unhappy: "You, you are here too?" β
Feng Qingxue said noncommittally: "Can't you? β
Xiangling glanced at Feng Qingxue and said disdainfully: "...... Come, come, come......"
As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at Shen Mu again: "Brother Tu Su is also here to play, right?" β
Shen Mu said indifferently: "There is something else to do." So saying, he walked towards the village.
Xiangling was a little disappointed and said, "Okay...... Then we'll catch the fish ourselves. β
Shen Mu walked into the village and saw Hongyu standing next to a bamboo house, looking down as if thinking about something.
When Hongyu saw Shen Mu, she stepped forward and whispered to Shen Mu, "...... Luo Yunping is a demon and not a human. I just wandered around the village and found nothing unusual. The village chief is quite popular with the people and is said to treat people very well,...... Only the Pei Gong just now seemed to be about to speak and stopped. β
Shen Mu naturally knew that Luo Yunping was a demon, so he just nodded and said, "When we were at the entrance of the village, the old man didn't want us to stay overnight, maybe there was something else to hide. β
Hongyu said thoughtfully: "...... It seems that we can only wait and see what happens. Since the art of divination points to this place, it doesn't make all sense to think about it. Baili Gongzi, forgive me for trespassing, Ouyang Shaogong is this person, and I hope that Gongzi will pay more attention. β
Shen Mu's heart moved, it seemed that Hongyu had already seen that Ouyang Shaogong had a problem, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he said, "What do you mean?" β
Hongyu muttered: "Shaogong's words and deeds make people feel like a spring breeze, nothing is bad, but it is too good, just like the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, how can there be such a flawless person in the world?" The more jade and English the gentleman, the more people can't see it thoroughly. What's more, I have heard that the saint and gentleman are as good as water, and water is good for all things without fighting. It's so deeply hidden, and it's unsettling. β
Shen Mu finally saw someone who understood, but said expressionlessly, "Why are you talking to me about this?" β
Hongyu said: "If you want to say it, you will say it, my son and I are just meeting in Pingshui, it is abrupt, I don't listen to the rain, you take it yourself." β
Shen Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, I wrote it down." β
Then, Shen Mu rested on the bamboo bed of the bamboo house, and when he was pretending to sleep, he suddenly heard an eagle's cry.
When he opened his eyes, it was Ah Xiang who flew in from the bamboo window, landed on a bamboo chair beside him, and shouted at Shen Mu twice, Shen Mu spent 5,000 happiness points in order to understand the words of birds and beasts, so that he could understand what Ah Xiang said.
Ah Xiangshi said that this place is very dangerous, and asked Shen Mu to leave here as soon as possible.
Shen Mu sat up, picked up the Burning Silence Sword beside him, drank a cup of clear spring water on the bamboo table, only to feel sweet and moisten his throat, making people sleepy, and said to Ah Xiang: "It's okay, it's dark, Ah Xiang, you go to wait outside the Fujixian Cave first." β
Shen Mu knew that Luo Yunping, the village chief of Ganquan Village, wanted to trick them into the cave and use them as food for the vine tree demon, and the jade heng fragment was actually not in the vine immortal cave, but on Luo Yunping's body.
So, he said to the system: "System, how much happiness value do I need to exchange for seven jade horizontal fragments?" β
"Ding Dong, host, each piece of jade horizontal fragments needs 100,000 happiness points, and seven pieces need a total of 700,000 happiness points."
ββ¦β¦ System, I said in exchange for seven fake jade horizontal fragments, and it is a jade horizontal fragment that others can't distinguish between real and fake, how much happiness value is needed? β
"Ding Dong, host, you need a total of 7,000 happiness points, do you want to exchange it?"
"Yes, I got it."
"Ding-dong, host, payment successful."
As soon as the mechanical sound of the system fell, there were seven more fake jade horizontal fragments in Shen Mu's hands, and then Shen Mu spent another 2,000 happiness points to buy a storage bag.
Shen Mu had already made up his mind in his heart, put the other six storage bags, and then left one piece, held it in the palm of his hand, and then silently recited in his heart, summoning the merry female ghost, "Xiaoyu, come and help me." β
As soon as the words fell, a green light suddenly passed, fell to the ground, and turned into a human form, it was the merry female ghost Dong Xiaoyu.
Dong Xiaoyu smiled charmingly, stepped forward, and complained to Shen Muyou: "Master, you have ignored others for so long, and people still think that you have forgotten about them." β
ββ¦β¦ How can I forget, now I have one thing for you to do......" Saying that, Shen Mu asked Dong Xiaoyu to stun Luo Yunping, the village chief of Ganquan Village, with psychedelic techniques, and Dong Xiaoyu naturally did as Shen Mu instructed.
When Dong Xiaoyu returned to his life, Shen Mu summoned the Five Poisonous Beasts Courage Pig again.
"Mutter." When the courage pig saw Shen Mu, he rubbed it on Shen Mu's face affectionately, as if he was still saying something.
Shen Mu just gently held up the courage pig with his palm and said, "Very good, your cultivation has progressed, it seems that those spiritual grasses that are fed to you are very beneficial to your cultivation." β
"Uh-huh!" The courage pig was appreciated by the owner, and the two small round eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and his face was happy.
Shen Mu handed over the fake jade horizontal to the Courage Pig, and asked the Courage Pig to replace the real jade horizontal fragment on Luo Yunping's body with this fake one.
When the Courage Pig received the order, he immediately instigated two small blue wings and flew to Luo Yunping's house.
Although Luo Yunping is a demon, he is a little demon, his mana is low, and he can't bear the psychedelic technique of the merry female ghost at all, and at this moment, Luo Yunping has been stunned by the psychedelic technique on the bamboo bed.
As a fairy beast, the Courage Pig just took a small mouth, spit out a light blue air flow, and landed on the fake jade horizontal fragment in the small hand, and then the blue air flow wrapped it, and the jade horizontal fragment drilled into Luo Yunping's arms with this blue air flow, and then the blue air flow wrapped a jade horizontal fragment and floated lightly in the small hand of the Courage Pig.
This piece of jade fragment is the real jade fragment, Courage Pig stared at the jade fragment in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and turned around and flew away from this bamboo house with a smile, and flew towards the bamboo house where Shen Mu lived.
It didn't take long for a jade horizontal fragment to fall into Shen Mu's hands, "Well, courage, you did a good job, okay, you go back to the spirit beast bag to cultivate first." β
"Uh-huh!" The Courage Pig happily returned to the spirit beast bag.
After an hour, the sky was dark, Shen Mu walked out of the house, a full moon had risen in the night sky, the moonlight was about to fall, and it was falling on the people outside the house, it turned out that everyone was ready and was waiting outside.
Seeing Shen Mu coming over, Luo Yunping, the head of Ganquan Village, stepped forward and smiled at Shen Mu: "It's just right to come, everyone is here now, please go to the place where the spring is coming." β
Everyone followed Luo Yunping to a cave, which was the vine fairy cave, and everyone entered the vine fairy cave together, but below was an open place, surrounded by green mist, and the insects were singing.
