A few people are like ants in a hot pot, anxious but unable to grasp the essentials. Two days later, another major incident occurred in the town of Hujian - the nearest benevolent contemplator to the town did not know the whereabouts of the master, and the remaining Taoist priests in the temple were all killed overnight. According to the townspeople's rumors, the death was horrible: the skin was swollen and white, the hair was disheveled, and the body was all wet, as if it had just been recovered from the water.

When Cangwen and his entourage heard the news and rushed to the Compassion Temple, they were already waiting outside.

Cangwen saw a woman standing in the open space in front of the view, dressed in a black cloth robe, her hair was tied high on the top of her head, coiled into a Taoist hairstyle.

Cangwen stepped forward, inexplicably feeling that this Dao Gu was very familiar, although her face had never been seen, but it was faintly familiar.

"May I ask this female crown, but what is the origin of this concept of compassion?"

Er is Chang Shi saluted, frowned and said: "The poor road comes from the Fengze Academy of the Attached Mountain, and he studied under the master of the courtyard, Miao Qingzhen; The family teacher and the compassionate contemplation of the Lord are old friends. ”

"But I don't know what happened here. When did the female Taoist arrive? Chiwu asked.

"The poor road has just arrived. I was ordered by my teacher to come to visit, but I didn't want him to suffer such a catastrophe. Er Shi lowered his eyebrows again, "I peeked at the corpse in that view, and it was really unbearable." ”

"The body is still in view?"

"It has been collected by the officials."

"Can the female Taoist elaborate on the shape of the corpse?"

Er is shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "The corpses of those Taoist priests are swollen, and their lips are cyanotic. It looks like he fell into the water and drowned. But I don't know, you are here to solve the mystery? Are you the ones in the public tooth? ”

Cangwen Chiwu glanced at each other: "We are the disciples of the Lord of the Zhiri Palace, and we were involved in this matter by mistake. My brother's house is also full of fog, and we follow the vine, and we feel that the two places may be implicated; In this way, let's go back for a while and sort out the clues again. Then, Cangwen said lightly: "The female crown wants to rush back to the attached mountain to report this evil thing to the courtyard master?" ”

Er is pondering for a long time, raised his eyes to look at Cangwen, and begged: "If I go back like this, Master will definitely send me back to investigate this matter thoroughly, after all, the Lord is still missing." is poor and weak, but wants to talk to the heart. Since you have some clues, and you are tall under the cactus, I will help you find out the master, and when the water comes out, I will return, so that I can present it to the teacher. ”

"Where is the crown of women?"

"If you are poor, go to the town and find a place." After that, Er reached into the burden and groped for a long time, then took out a few grains of broken silver, and his face was red, not without shame.

Chi Wu saw it in his eyes and said, "If the female Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, she will go to my mansion to live temporarily." I asked someone to clean up the guest rooms of the annex, so as not to disturb the Taoist Qingxiu. ”

"How can you dislike the poor and have a place to live. Thank you, donor. Er is smiling at Chiwu.

The group descended the mountain and went straight back to the Hujian Rest House. When you were settled, several people gathered in the hall to discuss strange things for a few days.

"Let's comb through the beginning to see if there are any missing details." Cangwen said. "In this town, there have long been rumors of dragon demons, but it has been calm for many years, and no one has seen it in person; More than ten years ago, there was a yellow crown to Hugh Mansion to give shoes, the gold-soled tiger head shoes are very magical, can cure diseases, protect the family, fortune. ”

Er is looking at the pair of shoes in Chiwu's hand, and his heart trembled.

More than ten years later, Uncle Hugh was guided by the man's dream and gave the shoe to the five-year-old Ru'er. That night, he fell into an evil spirit and threw himself into the well in these shoes, but was saved by a divine power in the well. Cangwen paused, "According to Yu'er's words, he rode up the dragon in the well. Speaking of this, Cangwen glanced at Er is eyes, lost his mind, and said in his heart: This woman is calm, and she is not surprised to hear what I said, but I don't know why.

Seeing Cangwen pause, Chi Wu continued: "Then the senior brother fished out two tiger corpses in Nianzi Lake, and the shoes also changed, and the tiger head was no longer powerful and vivid, and it seemed to have lost its spirit. ”

How could you not check Cangwen's movements, she heard Chiwu's words, and hurriedly said: "You say that the tiger corpse in the lake is the two tigers on the tip of the shoe?" ”

Chiwu didn't answer, and looked at Cangwen.

"The female crown thinks it's impossible?" Cangwen asked rhetorically.

"When the poor Dao heard this kind of bizarreness, he was surprised in his heart." Er is language with self-blame: "The family teacher often teaches, and I am not afraid of chaos and danger in case of trouble, although I think of it, although I pretend to be calm, I still do not meet what I want, you see and laugh." ”

Chiwu waved his hand and smiled, and said, "Soon after, there was a tragic incident of compassion. And according to the words of the female Taoist leader, all the disciples in that view died horribly, as if they had drowned in the water. ”

On the side, Lang Dan suddenly said: "Senior brother, could it be that the Compassion Contemplation Lord sent these shoes to Chiwu back then?" In fact, there is a dragon demon sealed in this shoe, and this dragon doesn't know why he got out of trouble, and then he took revenge on the concept of compassion? ”

"No," Chi Wu said: "Before visiting the Compassion Temple, I asked my father, and he said that the person who gave the shoes back then was a white-haired old man, and the Compassion Meditation Lord was not yet the year of the Mandate of Heaven this year. ”

"Exactly, and the Lord has been cultivating for many years, his face has not changed, and he doesn't look like he is standing." Er is Dao, "The year before last, the Lord visited my Fengze Temple, and I was fortunate to see it. ”

"Daddy and mother often go to the mercy to burn incense, if the Lord is the person who gives shoes, how can Daddy not know?" Akabudo.

"That'...... Or was this dragon demon captured by the Master of Meditation? Lang Dan said again.

"Not impossible." Cang Wen said slowly: "I want to come to the Chiwu family, and the strange things have nothing to do with the dragon demon. ”

"It's just that I don't know if the dragon demon in this shoe is the one in the rumored Nianzi Lake."

"So far, only by finding this dragon can we clear the context and solve my doubts." Cangwen muttered.

"There is a plan for the poor road, but I don't know whether to talk about it." It's a slow road.

"Female Daoist, besides, it's better than us being at a loss." Chiwu hurriedly urged.

"Poor Dao heard that the little master of your mansion entered the well but survived, because of the help of divine power; I heard that the little young master rode up the dragon, so let's assume that this dragon saved his life. Er is said, seeing that everyone around him nodded, "You also told me about the rumors of Nianzi Lake on the road just now." The dragon demon in the lake lost her own child, as a mother, she must not be able to see other children suffering, so ...... "Er is a meal," if it is not for the kind of things that hurt it, how can it help your grandmother and the little master?" ”

When the female Taoist chief said this, it was also appropriate. It's just that if it weren't for the dragon demon, how could my nephew have thrown himself into the well? “

"Maybe the dragon is trapped by spells and can't get out if he doesn't enter the well?" Er said lightly.

Chi Wu clapped his hands violently, "That makes sense. ”

"But I don't know what the female crown has to do to invite you into the urn?" Cangwen ignored Chi Wu and asked.

"Even if the dragon in your mansion is not the dragon demon of Nianzi Lake, it should be related to it. If it is a dragon demon, it will not live long without water, can we invite the little young master to go to Nianzi Lake? ”

"Never!" When Cangwen heard this, he already knew in his heart that Er's plan was: "How can you let Yu'er get into danger again?" ”

Poor Dao knew that several people were worried, so he hesitated to tell him honestly. It's just that," said Er Yes, "once the dragon demon saved the life of the little young master, if he had the intention to kill him, there was already a good opportunity in the night well; Moreover, the three Gu are the master of the Zhiri Palace, and they can't keep the little young master safe when they join forces? ”

Chiwu thought about mentioning Zhiri Palace on the road just now, and he was full of envy and admiration, thinking that the master was famous, how could he lose face? But if he really needs his nephew to be in danger, he is worried in his heart and difficult to make a decision.

"The three of us have gone to Nianzi Lake to investigate, and there is no trace of demons, even if we take Yu'er there, we may return in vain." Chiwu said in a low voice.

"When you go, or the dragon demon just leaves, or she is in the view of compassion, I don't know. Hujian Town is dozens of miles in radius, and there is only one large water source in Nianzi Lake. Er is voice was a little louder, and said, "If the dragon demon is not in the lake, there is no need to worry about the safety of the little young master, I don't know if what the poor Dao said is or not?" ”

"This ......" Chi Wu scratched his head and looked at Cangwen.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Cangwen clenched his fists with both hands, "Senior brother assures you that no matter what happens, you will sacrifice your life to protect you!" ”
