I heard that the strange people from Dali were searching for monsters in the mansion, and the Xiangfu suddenly exploded. The male dependent didn't have any scruples, and wished that Qi Lu could search his house carefully, so as not to hide a monster and come out at night and kill himself. But the ladies were unwilling, especially some strong maids who closed the door tightly to prevent idlers from entering, saying that they were afraid of ruining their reputation.

Qi Lu couldn't cry or laugh, and then remembered that the era he lived in was not the 21st century, but the Northern Song Dynasty, which paid attention to whether men and women were intimate or not. However, he originally wanted to protect the reputation of Monk Huiyuan, so when he met such a conservative woman, he just pretended to look at the surrounding environment of the boudoir, and said something like the yang energy is flourishing here, how dare the demons get close, and then turned around and went to other places.

Even if it was so perfunctory, Qi Lu finally found traces of demonic energy.

When the master took them to the kitchen, dozens of meters apart, Qi Lu's nose smelled a faint demonic aura, and he couldn't help but stop.

It is necessary to know that the kitchen is a place where people come and go, and ordinary demons will not hide here, otherwise it is easy to expose their traces.

Seeing that Qi Lu had stopped, the master hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Qi, have you found the whereabouts of the monster?" ”

"Ah, that's not it." Qi Lu paused, and he found that just as he answered, the demonic aura suddenly disappeared. He couldn't help but be horrified, the guy who could instantly hide his demonic energy invisibly would never be an ordinary monster, maybe he was still an old demon who had only cultivated for more than a thousand years. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble to deal with him at that time.

"There's the kitchen ahead, sir, please come with me." The unwitting master led the way in front.

"Good, good! I'm sorry for you. Qi Lu responded while looking back at Lao Wu. Seeing that he kept gesturing to himself in secret, Qi Lu suddenly understood that Lao Wu was implying that he was pretending to be confused.

Just when Qi Lu retracted his eyes, he inadvertently saw that the face of the monk Huiyuan on the side had turned pale, and he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself that Huiyuan had also noticed the whereabouts of the monster and was ashamed of his previous reckless judgment?

After thinking about it, the group came to the kitchen, and it was almost dusk at this time, and Xiang Ye was arranging people to prepare for the evening banquet, so Qi Lu came at the right time, and the men and cooks in the room were shuttling non-stop, and they were busy.

The master smiled with a smile on his face and introduced Qi Lu to the busy people in the kitchen.

"This is the chef Liu San, who used to be His Majesty's imperial chef, and because of his advanced age, he came out of the palace and was hired by Xiangye to the mansion."

"He is a fellow Zhao Jia, a distant relative of Mrs. Xiangye, and now he is doing chores in the kitchen."

……

Qi Lu greeted them one by one with a smile, and at the same time looked around, but he never found the slightest trace of demonic energy flowing in the room.

Things finally took a turn when the master introduced a woman who was washing vegetables, "This is Sister-in-law Cen, who is also doing chores in the kitchen." ”

The woman heard the greeting of the master, hurriedly put down the vegetables to be washed in her hand, stood up and said a blessing to everyone. "Slave Cen Biqing, meet your lords."

"Sister-in-law Cen, this can't be helped." Qi Lu hurriedly stopped Cen Biqing's delicate body who was about to bow down, "I am also a rural scattered person down here, how can I accept this great gift." ”

The words were polite, but Qi Lu seemed to have a huge wave rolling in his heart. He subconsciously glanced at Lao Wu and found that his expression was also a little unnatural, and he suddenly hesitated.

You must know that this sister-in-law Cen is none other than a green snake dressed in disguise!

No wonder she can hide her demonic aura in an instant, firstly, she is a descendant of Nuwa, and secondly, her Taoism is far above ordinary monsters!

Qi Lu stared at Xiaoqing blankly, and saw that her bottomless black eyes were as bright as stars and as heavy as the sea, and there was a hint of vigilance hidden in her eyes, as if she had already seen through Qi Lu's origin.

However, Qi Lu immediately calmed down, after all, he only dealt with her after a thousand years, how could Xiaoqing know the details of himself and Lao Wu at this time.

Thinking about this, Qi Lu was immediately relieved, and at the same time, a question that had been haunting his heart for many days was also answered at this moment. That's why as soon as she arrived in Hangzhou, Xiaoqing embarrassed herself everywhere, and even had murderous intentions, it turned out that she knew herself in the Song Dynasty thousands of years ago!

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, new questions came to Qi Lu's heart one after another. Although the green snake is not shallow, what is the purpose of the stealth mansion? The key is that Huiyuan has lived in Xiangfu for a long time, although he is young, he has the true inheritance of Fahai, can't he see that Cen Biqing in front of him is a snake demon?

Qi Lu couldn't help but turn his gaze to Huiyuan, but saw him bow his head and close his eyes, reciting Buddhist scriptures lightly in his mouth, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. Qi Lu then called him tentatively: "Master Huiyuan? ”

"Donor, do you have any instructions, do you need the help of the little monk?" Only then did Huiyuan open his eyes.

Qi Lu saw that his eyes swept in front of Xiaoqing and immediately turned to him, but his face was not shocked, Qi Lu was even more surprised, but he didn't want to ask clearly, so he had to say in a roundabout way: "Why doesn't the master observe the surrounding movements and check the whereabouts of the demon?" ”

"Amitabha, the four great monks are empty." Huiyuan clasped his palms together and said, "There is a female benefactor present in front of him, and the little monk should avoid it." ”

Are you really not close to women, or are you pretending that you don't know everything? Qi Lu couldn't see through Huiyuan's thoughts, so he had to secretly observe Xiaoqing's expression, but found that she was more comfortable than Huiyuan, and Qi Lu suddenly felt a little dazed.

At this time, Lao Wu had secretly pulled his clothes behind Qi Lu, Qi Lu immediately came to his senses, and after he saluted Xiaoqing, he said to the master: "There is nothing abnormal here, please take us somewhere else." ”

The master asked in surprise: "I haven't introduced half of the people in this kitchen, and the gentleman is leaving?" ”

"I know people with discerning eyes, and the room is full of loyal people, so why do I need to understand them all. Master, please take me to find demons elsewhere. ”

"Okay, sir, please!"

Qi Lu walked out of the kitchen and happened to pass by the green snake who was washing vegetables by the well, and saw that she was concentrating on her work without even raising her head. But I don't know what's going on, Qi Lu always feels a cold smile coming out from under her hair-covered face.

While moving forward, Qi Lu pretended to ask the master casually, "That sister-in-law Cen is also on an errand in the house?" ”

The master responded: "No, Sister-in-law Cen has been widowed for many years. ”

"How did her father-in-law die?" Qi Lu asked knowingly.

"This sister-in-law's life is really bitter." The master sighed and said: "She was originally from Hangzhou, and after less than a year of marriage, her husband died of a sudden illness. ”

"Is Sister-in-law Cen's child male or female?"

"It's a boy, just turned three last month."

"There are three without filial piety, and there is no queen for the greatest." Qi Lu groaned and said: "I don't understand below, even if Sister-in-law Cen doesn't abide by women's morals, her husband's family should leave her son and drive her out, but why should she drive the child away together?" ”

"The gentleman didn't know that this child was born with a stubborn disease, and her skin was covered with fish scales, and her husband's family thought it was a freak, so he kicked her mother and son out of the house."

This is a skin disease, which is clearly the body surface characteristics of the bad genes at birth of mixed race children who are combined with shemales! Qi Lu immediately understood that this child was not Xiaoqing's child, but the widow of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. Bai Suzhen was under the Leifeng Pagoda by Fahai Town, and Xiaoqing was angry that Xu Xian killed him, this child has become an orphan, so it is reasonable for Xiaoqing to raise him in order to retain a little blood of his sister.

At this time, Huiyuan also accosted, "This child is really pitiful, the little monk was also moved by compassion after seeing it, so he found a few prescriptions to grab medicine to treat him, but unfortunately the little monk's medical skills are not good and he can't cure his illness." ”

In this way, you also know the bottom line about this matter, Qi Lu continued to ask quietly: "After this sister-in-law Cen was kicked out by her husband's family, why did she come to your prime minister's mansion, could it be that she is related to Xiangye?" ”

"Definitely." The master said with a smug face: "Sister-in-law Cen's mother and son begged all the way, and when they came to the capital, it was already a cold winter, when the snow was falling, and when she passed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, she finally fainted at the door due to physical exhaustion. It was my wife who saw that she was pitiful, so she ordered me to stay in the house. Seeing that she was diligent and quick to do things, the lady arranged for her to work in the kitchen and receive a share of the salary to support the family. ”

Qi Lu couldn't help but admire Xiaoqing's scheming. She disguised herself as a distressed woman and infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion, which seemed to be dangerous, but it was a perfect plan.

It must be known that the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place where ordinary people can come in casually, and it is naturally difficult for ordinary charlatans to detect her whereabouts. In this way, Xiaoqing can hide her identity and raise Xu Shilin with peace of mind.

"Mrs. Xiangye is really kind-hearted, and there will be blessings in the next life." After Qi Lu complimented him, he wanted to ask again, but he heard the master say, "Mr. Qi, in front of you is the wing room where the family lives, and I will take you there to check out." ”

Qi Lu had no choice but to keep silent and go with him.

In the next search, Qi Lu was basically a fool, because he already knew that the source of the demonic qi was due to Xiaoqing, but he was a little strange in his heart, why did this Fahai master disciple in front of him get along with the green snake for so long without the slightest notice, so that he almost quarreled with himself in the hall today?

Qi Lu finally walked around the Xiangfu under the leadership of the master, and finally he pretended to be ashamed and said to Huiyuan: "Master, please forgive me for my rashness, the Xiangfu is really a quiet place, and there are no demons and evil hidden." ”

"The donor doesn't have to take it to heart, maybe when you entered the mansion, you happened to meet a passing monster, and because you were afraid of the donor's mana, you hurriedly ran away, so you had a misunderstanding." Huiyuan didn't care, but excused Qi Lu in his words.

Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask him a few words, when the master came to urge them to go to the banquet. Qi Lu couldn't interrogate any further, so he had to follow him to the hall and found that Ding Wei was already sitting on the chairman's seat waiting, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and reported to him the fruitless search for demons.

Ding Wei smiled, and didn't take this matter to heart, he arranged for a few well-drunk soldiers to sit beside Qi Lu and Lao Wu, and persuaded them to drink.
