Chapter Twenty-Six: Mushrooms Become Immortals 25

"Just follow me and see."

Outside, lightning and thunder roared again, and dust was blown into the air as the wind blew fiercely.

Zhao Yue hurriedly closed his eyes, and at the same time pulled Xiao Jining back together.

The door of the ruined temple was fragile, swinging back and forth in the wind, as if it would fall at any moment, and the sound of creaking was drowned out in the whistling sound.

After the strong wind, the torrential rain gradually increased, and the sky outside was dark and dreary, and the dilapidated temple had no lighting tools, and it became very dark.

In an instant, the rain poured down, and the light in the temple became even darker.

"Xiao Ningzi, this is too dark!" Zhao Yue couldn't help but look around.

Xiao Jining rolled his eyes silently, "You can't make a lighting spell?"

Zhao Yue didn't want to quarrel at this time, and after snapping his fingers, the surroundings lit up.

"You go to the left and I'll look over there." After speaking, Xiao Jining walked over.

Zhao Yue rubbed his arms alone, looked left and right, and finally walked to the left.

There were some miscellaneous items piled up in the left corner, Zhao Yue walked over and rummaged through them, and there were some messy wooden strips in the pile of weeds.

Rummaging through it, Zhao Yue saw a cloth bag hidden inside, and the cloth bag seemed to be a cuboid thing.

Zhao Yue lifted the cloth, revealing a box with black and gold locks.

"Xiao Ningzi, I seem to have found something!"

Xiao Jining ran over a few steps to investigate the box with her.

The box was first locked, and secondly, it was the outside, but they were mortals, and that was hard for them.

Zhao Yue let the lock open by itself with a spell, Xiao Jining opened the box and saw what was contained inside.

It was a pure gold bowl, and the bowl had intricate patterns on it, and it was very exquisite.

Just by looking at it, you know that it is very valuable and valuable.

"That's it, let's go." Zhao Yue closed the box again, and then wrapped it in cloth.

At this time, the sound of rain outside the temple became louder and louder.

"Stop!"

Suddenly some men with long knives broke in from outside the door, blocking their way.

Xiao Jining stretched out his hand to block Zhao Yue behind, "Who are you?" ”

"You thieves are stealing things openly, fence me up!" The leader waved his hand, and suddenly the people behind him rushed in and surrounded them.

"Tell me clearly, who is the thief?" Zhao Yue shouted.

"What you are holding in your hands is a golden bowl with a twig pattern, it is a treasure, and you are greedy for money, so you have a bad heart and steal it!"

This person was so eloquent that Zhao Yue laughed angrily.

"You only see that we have it in our hands now, how can you be sure that we stole it? Could it be that you are with us, and you have seen it with your own eyes?" Xiao Jining stood up and confronted him.

The man at the head was stunned, a little angry, "Bold fanatics, dare to distort the facts!" Take them down for me! ”

The people around suddenly approached, and the long knives in their hands brushed up on the necks of the two of them.

Xiao Jining and Zhao Yue glanced at each other, their eyes were resolute, and they flew up to the beam above the temple together.

The people below were already dumbfounded, everyone knew that mortals couldn't fly, and there were only a few kinds of people who could fly, either immortals or demons.

But people always think in the bad way, so this group of people thinks that the two of them are demons.

They retreated in unison, feeling fear in their hearts.

The most rampant man who had stood at the front now had trembling legs and could not close his mouth.

"They, they're demons...... Monster! He pointed the tip of his knife at the two men.

"Yes, we are youkai, very scary youkai, scared to death!" After that, Zhao Yue made a very exaggerated grimace.

Xiao Jining glanced at her sideways and only felt a little funny.

"Youkai also come to steal things from the mortal world, what a sin!"

"You have no evidence, what are you talking about here, and who are you? Is this treasure yours? Zhao Yue looked down at the people below and asked.

"Of course this is ours, my master lost the treasure and asked us to come to look for it, but I didn't expect to see you...... Two youkai are here. ”

"And what evidence do you have to prove that this treasure belongs to you?"

The people below were talking, "Presumptuous, how can we prove it to you?"

"Then we don't need to prove it to you!" Zhao Yue and Xiao Jining flew down the beam of the house together and stood in the temple again.

All at once they gave up a large piece of open space.

"You, you...... Don't move......"

They were a little scared, but they forced themselves to raise their knives, and they looked fierce.

"You can't beat us again, so don't stop us, be careful of hurting yourself." Zhao Yue looked around, hugged his fist and pinched the joint.

Xiao Jining gave her a look, and after Zhao Yue received it, the two of them teleported outside the temple.

They thought about it carefully, and now no one knows who the owner of this treasure is, and they must not hand over the treasure rashly.

But it is not appropriate to put it in their hands.

So Zhao Yue came up with a good idea, first secretly find out who lost the treasure, lock the target and then dig deeper, so that there will be no mistakes.

The officials of the mortal realm also have to consider it, and they don't know if they are corrupted internally, in case they also covet this treasure, it will undoubtedly send this treasure into the mouth of another tiger.

The two of them have been wandering in the mortal world for the past few days, and they have searched around the place where the thief appeared, and soon have clues.

"You said there was a rich family here, and they had built a golden bowl with a lot of money, and since they had so much money, why didn't they ask more people to guard this treasure?" Zhao Yue touched his chin and pondered.

Xiao Jining replied on the side: "But you think, this treasure is made of heavy money, it must be quite valuable, everyone in the world is greedy, do you dare to guarantee that those who guard the treasure will not have the intention of stealing?" ”

Zhao Yue pondered for a while, it is indeed like this, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, which is difficult to guarantee.

This treasure is said to be a treasure, but in fact it is also a hot potato, and everyone wants to get it.

That being the case, things are a bit troublesome, and they can't make a public announcement at the moment, and they have to go around and investigate a lot, which will waste a lot of time.

However, during this period, Zhao Yue also did a lot of good deeds and accumulated some merits for himself.

One night, the lights were still on in one house, and there was still the sound of talking in the courtyard.

Zhao Yue pulled Xiao Jining over and listened.

"You guys, where did that thing go......

"We were guarding it a few days ago, and in a blink of an eye, it was gone......"

"Do you all eat dry food? I asked you to keep it guarded, but now it's good, everything is lost, you all get out of ......" The man was furious, trying his best to keep his voice down, but it was still loud.

The few people who were reprimanded were resentful, but at the same time they were also guilty.

"Do you think it's a lost treasure from this house?"

Xiao Jining looked at the people in the courtyard and said, "We'll find out tomorrow."

The two squatted on a tree in the courtyard here all night, and the next morning, Zhao Yue wanted to turn over and almost fell off the tree.

Fortunately, Xiao Jining woke up early, and quickly grabbed her arm.

"How can you sleep so well, please figure out that this is on the tree, if I didn't pull you would have fallen." Xiao Jining looked disgusted.

Zhao Yue rubbed her eyes, and the feeling of weightlessness for a moment made her a little foggy, so she hadn't thought of anything else.

"I forgot! Now let's take a look at the situation. ”

Zhao Yue adjusted his state and leaned against the tree.

The courtyard was in the most corner, so few people came here early in the morning, and the two of them stayed like this for a while before leaving.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, I had just landed on one of the eaves of a roof when I heard people talking in the house.

"I have to report to the yamen today!"

"Master, our house has been robbed, I don't feel solid when I sleep this night, you can invite a few nurses! Okay, okay?" It was a woman who spoke, and her voice was charming.

The man reprimanded: "Go aside, where do I have spare money for you to ask for a nursing home, I have to find my treasure!" Don't bother me! ”

The boy's voice was heavier, and the woman called him twice with a crying voice after a while, and then in exchange for more unpleasant words from him, she couldn't stand it anymore and began to cry.

Zhao Yue felt that this family was really in line with the situation, this man lost his treasure, he was so anxious that he couldn't even listen to the woman's words.

In this way, it is better to quietly return the treasure, so that there is no need to trouble the yamen, and then things will become more variable.

Xiao Jining grabbed her and analyzed with her, "You see that if you return this treasure to him directly, it is not appropriate, now we only know that he lost the treasure, but what if it is not this treasure?" ”

"But how can it be possible to lose so many valuables here in a row, I don't think it's very probable."

"No matter what, we can't be hasty, you should also understand the hidden dangers brought by this treasure."

After Xiao Jining finished speaking, Zhao Yue fell silent.

Eventually, the two decided to follow the man from the family.

The man sat at home for a short time before he went out and went all the way to the yamen.

When he arrived at the gate of the yamen, he struck the big drum outside as usual.

He didn't want to show off, but there was no way, the man's face was full of sorrow, and the strength of his hand to beat the drum was not very strong.

"Who's beating the drums outside the door?" A man came out of the door and asked.

"The grass people are a family here, and the house was stolen two days ago, and a thing was lost, and I want to ask the adults to make the decision to find it for the grass people."

Yanai thought about it and invited people in.

Xiao Jining and Zhao Yue naturally won't stand outside the door, they need to enter the door to listen to the specific content.

After entering the hall, the man saw the adult and said, "Lord Zhang, the grass people have lost a treasure, and I hope the adults can find it for the grass people." ”

"Then you tell the official what happened truthfully, and the official will come to find clues."

The man said honestly.

There are many men with their own emotions in the middle process, and Zhao Yue basically skips them.

"My lord, that treasure is a golden bowl made by the grass people, carved with a twig pattern, it is a very fine object, and it is kept at home on weekdays, but I don't know why it was remembered by the thief and ......stole it for me."

The man wept bitterly and sat with his face hidden.

That Master Zhang sat in his seat and pondered.

"In this way, this official will file a case for you first, and then send an arrester to investigate, and you will definitely be informed of the results, so you will go back today."
