Only then did Chu Huan understand that the dwarf had obviously understood that he would come to Chaowu Peak, and knew that he was coming to Chaowu Peak, so he arrived one step ahead of schedule, kidnapped the ghost elder, and pretended to be a ghost elder and waited here.

The purpose of the dwarf, Chu Huan was naturally very clear, he was obviously waiting to learn the demon suppression mantra from his mouth.

The dwarf seemed to know himself very well, and even knew that he had come to find the ghost elder just to suppress the demon mantra, the dwarf claimed to be with him, Chu Huan did not disbelieve it, if the dwarf was really a person sent by Bishamen all the way, then the dwarf had obviously been secretly paying attention to his movements.

Being stared at by such a ghost-like guy on the back of the back, Chu Huan also had some hair under his heart.

"Do you know where the ghost old man is now?" Chu Huan frowned and asked, "After that monster caught the ghost elder, where did the ghost elder be locked up?" ”

The priest had already pointed to the grotto and asked, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

Chu Huan nodded, the sacrificial priest was obviously very concerned about the safety of the ghost elder, Chu Huan agreed, and he immediately rushed into the grotto, and soon, he heard the voice of the sacrificial priest: "Here!" Then he saw the priest carrying a man out of the grotto.

Chu Huan saw that the person who was carried out by the sacrificer was wearing a gray cloth coarse linen robe, his hands and feet were actually tied, and even his mouth was blocked, the sacrificer took out the person, quickly untied the rope, and took out the mabra stuffed in the mouth, and then said nervously: "Ghost Lao, are you okay?" ”

The ghost elder looked over fifty years old and looked ordinary, stood up from the ground, and actually said to Chu Huan: "Thank you for saving each other!" ”

Chu Huan knew that the person in front of him was the real ghost elder, and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the ghost is okay, right?" ”

Although the ghost elder had just suffered a great calamity, he was calm, shook his head, and asked straight to the point: "You are looking for me to ask for a translation of Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Chu Huan nodded.

The ghost old man waved his hand and motioned for the sacrificer to stand down, and when the sacrificer left, the ghost old man stood face to face with Chu Huan and said, "He took great pains for your scriptures, your Buddhist scriptures must be very important." ”

Chu Huan sighed in his heart that the ghost old man was really smart, and he knew the cause and effect at once, thinking that although he was tied up in the grotto by the dwarf and sealed his mouth, his ears could still hear the movement and conversation outside.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Actually, I don't know if this scripture is important, and I don't even know the meaning of this scripture. ”

The ghost old shook his head and said: "You are kind to the ghost party, and you also saved me, in order to express your gratitude, I can help you translate the first three sentences of the scripture, and the later translation, I can't do anything!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned and said curiously: "Why is this?" ”

"You know better than I do what that man is capable of." The ghost old man sighed lightly: "He came from the Western Regions for this scripture, and even came to Chaowu Peak, your scripture has brought disaster to the ghost side!" ”

Chu Huan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

The ghost elder stared at Chu Huan with his eyes, "I don't know if this scripture is important to you, but it must be important to them, and they will do whatever it takes to get it from you." If I translate all of this sutra to you, it will be as if I also know this sutra, and sometimes it is not good to know too much. ”

Chu Huan sighed, he had to admit that the ghost elder was indeed a very wise person.

"You are the benefactor of the ghost side, and I can't let you come for nothing." The ghost old man said: "So I can translate the first three sentences of the scripture for you, which can be regarded as a reward for you." ”

Chu Huan thought about it, and finally said the first sentence of the scripture.

After hearing the first sentence, the ghost elder's eyes became strange, he looked at Chu Huan, pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you a monk?" ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "There is no monk!" ”

"And what's your name?"

"Chu Huan!"

"Your name is Chu Huan?" The ghost elder looked Chu Huan up and down a few times, as if to determine something, "Are you sure your name is Chu Huan?" ”

Chu Huan nodded, the ghost old man sighed, raised his hand to make a gesture, and said with a little apology: "Since this is the case, then please forgive me for not being able to translate a word for you!" ”

Chu Huan was surprised: "Where does this start?" Ghost Lao, didn't you say you could help me translate three sentences? ”

The ghost old man shook his head, his eyes showing guilt, "I broke my promise and got fat, I'm really sorry!" He walked to the edge of the altar, picked up a stone from the ground, and actually put his right hand on the stone wall, his five fingers were open, Chu Huan didn't know what the ghost old man wanted to do, but he saw that the ghost old man had already grabbed the stone and smashed it on his fingers, and he heard a clicking sound, and the flesh and blood of his fingers were blurred, and the skin was already open, and the finger bones were broken.

Chu Huan was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Ghost elder, you ......!" Moving forward, the old ghost finger was dripping with blood, but he raised his other hand, stretched out his hand to stop Chu Huan, shook his head and said: "This is my punishment for breaking my word, I can't translate your scriptures, I'm really sorry." Ignoring the injury of his fingers, he raised his hand and said, "This place is lonely and lonely, not a good place, please go back!" ”

Chu Huan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the ghost elder's eyes were firm, obviously a send-off, Chu Huan hesitated, and finally closed the eleventh salute and slowly withdrew.

He didn't know why the ghost had changed so much.

The ghost old man is feared by the ghost people, and he is highly respected, but all the words he says must be thoughtful, and he will never break his word easily, he has promised to translate the three scriptures, according to common sense, he will never regret it, but he has never translated a scripture, and he actually cut off his fingers, which made Chu Huan very surprised, he really couldn't figure out what kind of scripture it was, so that the ghost old man would rather cut off his fingers than translate a sentence.

What the hell is this demon mantra?

Chaowu Peak was deserted, and Chu Huan knew that since the ghost old man had broken his finger, he couldn't get anything else in Chaowu Peak, so he could only follow the stone beam back to the other side.

He Xigu and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and they were all happy to see Chu Huan come back safe and sound, of course they didn't know what was happening inside the altar, Chu Huan thought about it, and didn't say it to everyone after all.

Except for Hexi Valley, no one knew that Chu Huan came to Chaowu Peak for translation, and everyone naturally didn't dare to ask why Chu Huan came, so after cleaning up, the whole team returned.

Yesterday I came in the middle of the night, but today I returned, but the sun was shining, so before dusk, everyone had already returned to Yi Gusi's village.

Compared to before, the atmosphere in the village was completely different, Yi Gusi instructed the clansmen to set up a banquet, bring out all the best wine and food, and also notify the neighboring cave owners to come to the banquet.

Of course, Hexigu knew that the purpose of Chu Huan's trip to Daqimeng Mountain was to count the household registration and settle the ghost side, so above the banquet, the ghost side was very enthusiastic, although Chu Huan's amount of wine was not bad, but between the staggered plans, the other party toasted, and it was not good not to drink, but when the scene ended, he was also a little drunk.

The next day, the officials of the household department began to count the household registration, Yi Gusi, as the owner of the cave, naturally personally led the officials of the household department to the various households in the village, whether old or weak, all registered in the household register, the sixteen caves of the ghost side, the population added up to less than 20,000 people, but the sixteen holes are also large and small, although Hexi Valley is the ghost master of the ghost side, but its people can only rank third, and Yi Gusi's clansmen, just the most, only one hole, there are more than 2,000 people.

Chu Huan is the highest official at any time, but he is very idle, because he is in Yi Gusi's village, so the affairs of counting the household registration start from this side, Hexi Valley accompanies Chu Huan to drink and chat every day, and when he is free, Chu Huan naturally has to practice the "Dragon Elephant Sutra" and the Bliss Knife.

The affairs of counting household registration are not as simple as imagined, Yi Gusi's clansmen are distributed all over the Bald Rock Peak, not in one place, sometimes after counting a village, it will take a small half a day to rush to another house, two days later, only half of the population has been counted, Chu Huan thought that he would stay in Daqimeng Mountain for more than half a month, but this day he was talking with Hexi Valley about several herbs made by the ghost recipe, but he heard someone report: "Taiyuan City sent someone to visit Lord Chu, saying that there is an urgent matter to see." ”

The so-called people from Taiyuan City are actually not from Taiyuan, but from Taiyuan, and Fang Shihao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, personally escorted them with more than 20 Praetorian Guards.

This messenger came from the capital, and Chu Huan didn't know it, but the will brought by the messenger was unusually clear.

The decree instructed Chu Huan to hand over all the affairs at hand and return to the capital immediately, but other than that, there were no other words, Chu Huan felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't know why the imperial court was so anxious to call him back to Beijing.

It's just that he has done everything he should have done in Anyi, and he actually didn't have much mood to stay, Su Niang and the others were still in Beijing, and they had left the capital for more than a few months now, and they really wanted to return to Beijing.

However, Hexigu learned that Chu Huan was leaving, but he was a little reluctant, and drank bitterly, and when Chu Huan left, he gave away more than ten miles of land, so he was reluctant.

Chu Huan returned to Taiyuan under the escort of Xuanyuan Shengcai and others, Taiyuan seemed to have known that Chu Huan was going to return to the capital, Yuan Chongshang also remembered Chu Huan's exculpatory grace, when Chu Huan went to Daqimeng Mountain, Huang Tianyi and other prisoners were escorted to the execution ground and cut off their heads, and they were hung for public display.

Chu Huan looked at the head, but he didn't know if Huang Tianyi's end represented the peace of Anyi.

Yuan Chongshang led a group of officials and personally sent Chu Huan to Fenglindu Wharf, where the boat had already been prepared, Chu Huan went to Yunshan Mansion by water, and then returned to Beijing by land to the south.

Boarding the boat from Fenglindu, thinking of being here more than a year ago, he was just a down-and-out wanderer, when he boarded the boat, he was even driven away by the boatman, now it is different from the past, a year ago the down-and-out wanderer, now he is like an important minister of the court, the world encounter, unbelievable, but I don't know what kind of encounter the next road will be.
