Chapter 23 is misleading

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming heard a lot about the little thief from the tavern in charge. The most important thing is that most of the little thieves really stole their souls, and this little thief can be found through Zhu San. So Mu Qingming took his disciples to eat and drink enough, and then rushed to the small vegetable garden. And they saw a Zhu San who started a new life and changed his face. Mu Qingming understood his intentions, and Zhu San was also curious about what he was looking for that little thief. Zhu San satisfied his curiosity, and without hesitation, he took Mu Qingming and them to the city to find the little thief. And the Immortal Dao Grand Judge, who returned to the Immortal Dao stronghold, also handed over the seven soul qi he had received. 】

The sun was in the west, and it was hotter than noon.

Fortunately, on the edge of Zhu San's few acres of thin fields, there are a few old trees on the edge of the ridge. Where Mu Qingming and they are, it is under the shade of a little tree, but they can also enjoy the shade.

The black dog had already fallen under the tree, spitting out its long tongue and opening its mouth, and snorting roughly.

After Zhu San helped his daughter-in-law to sit on the ridge, he picked up the cigarette stick on the ground, shook off the dust, lit it again, and asked, "Do you want to buy antiques?" ”。

"Sort of, I heard that this kid recently got a few fun gadgets, but I couldn't find this kid." Mu Qingming didn't deny it, nodded and said, "After inquiring around, I said that you know where he is, so didn't he come to you?" ”。

"Well, I took this kid for a few days when he started, and he was not easy to support when he was a child, so he recognized me as a godfather." Zhu San walked to his daughter-in-law's side, leaned down and took out a bowl from the basket at her feet, picked up the teapot on the side and poured a bowl of water, turned around and returned to Mu Qingming, and handed the bowl of water to Mu Qingming: "He doesn't live in the city, of course you can't find him in the city." Since he was able to work alone, he actually supported the pot a few times by himself (the pot is the incision of the tomb robbers, indicating that the team organized a gang to open the tomb and rob the tomb), and with some savings, he bought some houses outside the city in Yangxianpo. He would only go into the city on weekdays when he was hungry for wine or sold stolen goods. In a moment I will send my daughter-in-law home, and I will take you to him. His nest is quite secret, and you won't find it if I don't take you around for a long time. ”。

Mu Qingming knew that this sheep fairy slope, it was not far from the north gate, although it was located in the undulating mountains outside the city, and there was a fairy word in its name, but it was not related to the immortals. The name comes from the Yi language "Yasibo", which means a place full of bayberry and other sour fruits.

Both sides of the mountain road are indeed overgrown with bayberry trees, one by one. The bayberry is as big as a walnut, sweet and sour. Mu Qingming loves to eat bayberry, and he is familiar with the bayberry vendors in the city. I once heard a little girl of the Yi nationality who sold bayberry in the city say that the best bayberry near the city and outside the city is on the slope of this sheep fairy.

So he knows this place.

The breeze slowly brought a burst of coolness, and Mu Qingming handed a sip of the undrunk tea to Jiaoyun, whose lips were a little dry, and motioned for her to drink it first and then thank Zhu San. Pulled Zhu San aside again, glanced at Zhu San's daughter-in-law not far away, lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Where did you 'kidnap' this lady from?" is so knowledgeable and white, and when I look at the past, the family is not a hard time, maybe I have invited my husband to teach at home. How do you look at it, it's not worthy of you, the five big and three coarse and swarthy. ”。

Zhu San, who knew that Mu Qingming was just a joke, smiled stupidly, and simply told Mu Qingming how he knew this daughter-in-law and what the situation was with his daughter-in-law before, Mu Qingming shouted again: "When you get married, you don't invite me to a wedding wine." ”。

"I invited, and I went to Shala Lane in person against the yin wind. But the servant of your family, named Miaotian, said that you and your wife have gone back to their hometown. Zhu San cried out and explained, turned around to help his daughter-in-law up, and took Mu Qingming and them back home.

Today's farm work, Zhu San is not considered to continue. Take Mu Qingming to find the little thief Zhang Xiaosheng, that's the right thing.

After settling his daughter-in-law, he took Mu Qingming and them along the base of the city wall, next to the shadows, and walked westward. After walking for a long time, they came to a hillside in the northwest outside the city.

Kunming is a dam (basin), and the mountains in the dam are not high. However, the small hill that Zhu San took them to climb this time was steep and rugged.

The mountains are full of bayberry and hawthorn trees, each with lush branches and leaves, tall and straight. In the mountains, there were only paths made by shepherds and woodcutters, not even a large road. And the villages are scattered at the foot of the mountain, and there are not many families on the mountain.

I really don't know how this little thief put this nest on the mountain in this wilderness.

Mu Qing meditated and asked Zhu San, who was leading the way, and Zhu San said as he walked: "This place is so hiding." In case you are caught by the government sending troops, you can find a random place to dig into the grass, and the ghost will not be found. ”。

Mu Qingming looked around, the weeds under the trees were also luxuriant, and he didn't ask much if he thought about it. And when he entered the mountain, he had already seen a little bit of soul qi left, bringing up the binding force, and there was a corpse qi floating in the woods.

Although those little bits of corpse qi have faded a lot so far, it proves that the soul qi must have appeared in this place.

Zhu San took them around the mountain, and suddenly stopped. Not far in front of them, there was a mountain thatched hut and a simple courtyard made of long bamboo strips and a fence, which appeared in front of Mu Qingming......

West Mountain, under the small stone forest.

In the stronghold of the Immortal Dao, the dim lights were lit in the deep corridors, and they were still shrouded in silence and darkness as before. So much so that the believers in the stronghold often can't tell the difference between day and night.

The chief judge took the tattered straw hat on his head and used it as a fan in his hand, and slowly walked towards Liu Yang's stone chamber with the fan wind.

He walked to the door of the stone chamber, and the disciples had already pushed the door open for him. The Grand Judge did not even stop his feet, and after throwing the broken straw hat in his hand to the disciples, he walked into the stone chamber.

Behind the stone gate, the cold air was cold, and the yin wind was howling and whirling.

Sitting in the stone room, Liu Yang, who was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, was able to sleep soundly in this cold environment. The soft snoring sound from his slightly long mouth came to an abrupt end the moment the Grand Judge stepped into the stone chamber. Then the door of the stone chamber slowly closed.

Liu Yang, who had already woken up, immediately sensed the restraining force emanating from the arms of the grand judge in front of him. A spirit, all sleepy.

"Did you get it back?" Liu Yang, who had already sat up straight, widened his eyes, stared at the grand judge standing in front of the stone case, looked up and down at the coarse cloth clothes and pants on the other party's body, and couldn't help laughing.

In the past, he was used to seeing his junior and younger brothers in brocade clothes, wearing clean and tidy clothes, at first glance, Liu Yang was really not used to this coarse linen dress with patches.

"This thief is really a ghost, and his soul qi has indeed been sold a lot of stolen goods by him in time. However, he did not sell his soul qi to an antique shop, but sold it to a family in the city that had an old man who had died, and used it as a nail. The chief judge didn't care about Liu Yang's inexplicable laughter at all, he just reached into his arms, escaped his soul and put it on the stone case, glared and scolded: "Tyrannical things, tyrannical things." What a magic weapon to nail the coffin. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, and all seven soul qi were placed in front of Liu Yang.

Liu Yang looked at it, and his eyes flashed with excitement. From the length to the thickness, there is also the pattern on the soul qi, with the special corpse qi that continues to emanate from it, after confirming that it is the soul qi that the grand judge has brought back, the excitement in his eyes has not diminished but increased.

However, in the blink of an eye, the excitement faded away, and was replaced by suspicion and confusion.

He glanced at the soul qi lying on the stone case, and after counting carefully to confirm that there were only seven, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the big judge opposite, his face was solemn, and asked, "Why are there only seven?" ”。

He had already obtained eight soul qi, and with the current seven soul qi, the Immortal Dao had a total of fifteen soul qi. It's just that according to the methods and methods recorded in ancient books, Liu Yang obviously created thirty-six soul qi.

Twenty-one more souls are missing.

"It's seven, and I've searched all over the city, but I only found these seven soul qi." The Grand Judge shook his head, and after saying that he didn't know why there were only seven, he explained to Liu Yang: "I searched all over the city, except for Shala Lane and Yulongdui, as well as other places in the Governor's Mansion, and only found seven soul qi. ”。

He did search all the city, but not the outside. So the tone was so calm that Liu Yang thought for a moment when he heard the words, and he didn't feel any clues.

Liu Yang slowly tightened his brows and stood up. Slowly walked to the side, facing the portraits of the ancestors of the Immortal Dao hanging on the bookshelf on the wall, and thought silently.

He kept an eye on the Grand Judge, but he didn't find anything unusual about the other party. Including the matter of finding the soul qi, the chief judge is also doing his best, and it is impossible for him to hide the soul qi privately, and he will not hide it.

But this also successfully misled Liu Yang.

After a blink of an eye, Liu Yang thought of another possibility that he had speculated before. The rest of the soul qi has been melted into silver water by the old thief, and then cast into a silver lump or something.

As the saying goes, the inch is short and the ruler is long, the soul is relatively special, and the binding force is also very strong. But once it is not formed or deformed, or the talisman seal on the soul qi is smoothed, the special binding force in its body will disappear. Even the effect of the soul energy will be null and void.

The rest is just ordinary silver.

It's easy to sell it to that silversmith shop and use it to make silver jewelry or something.

In this way, not only would the Immortal Dao not be able to track the soul qi, but even if it was recovered, it would only be possible to get a pile of ordinary silver.

"I remember you mentioned that the old thief had a small silver stove in his house, which seems to be a backup tool used to melt silver into silver water, right?" After a long time, Liu Yang turned around and asked the Grand Judge.

"Yes." The Grand Judge bowed slightly, and without much thought, he replied, "I also mentioned this matter when I was chatting with the disciples in private." ”。

"Well, you go and rest first." Liu Yang waved his hand, paced back to the stone case and sat down. After watching the Grand Judge open the stone door and walk out, he looked at the seven soul qi on the table as the stone door closed again, and pondered.

Although there are only fifteen pieces, each soul qi is enough to hold one thing. Fifteen soul qi is enough for the Immortal Dao to be used as a killer weapon.

Were the words and actions of the Grand Judge intentional? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[Sheep Fairy Slope of Suolongren Small Theater - Located at the intersection of Xuefu Road and Hongshan East Road, there is a long slope that spirals upward. In addition to the origin of the place name mentioned in the article, there are two other origin of the place name here.
