Chapter 235: The Death of the Daoist (1)

The jujube is also ripe after the frost in winter, and the taste of the ripe jujube is as sweet as honey. Li Xiaomai thought that he didn't need to take off the jujube and eat enough at this time, so he ran over to the tree and prepared to climb up.

But Li Xiaomai was a little hungry and panicked, and fell to the ground without paying attention, Mo Wuwen immediately ran over and asked eagerly, "Did you fall?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Ouch hey~" Li Xiaomai rubbed his waist and stood up.

"Great wizard, great wizard, great wizard." Suddenly, three weak shouts rang in the ears of the last unheard. Mo Wuwen looked around and saw that the shouts were coming from under the rocks beside the trees, and he stepped through the grass to see a white shadow dangling in a small cave made of two rocks.

"Ghost of Liao!" Mo Wuwen couldn't help but scream, and seeing that no one could do it around, he whispered to Bai Ying, "Didn't you go to reincarnation?" ”

"Niu Tou Ma Mian said that I should have died ten years ago, and if I missed ten years of reincarnation, I have to wait for another fifty years before I can be reincarnated again."

"Then why are you here?"

"I've been looking for you for days, Grand Wizard. Finally, last night I smelled the breath of "Da Dan Tongbao" at the Sunset Inn and found you who were asleep, and I didn't bother to go directly to the copper coin to sleep, and suddenly a violent force squeezed me out of the copper coin. The glare of the sun nearly wiped me out, but luckily I found a cave to hide in the midst of the scurry. I didn't even catch my breath when I happened to see you, the Great Wizard. ”

"I don't know where it fell, we've been looking for a big circle."

"Great Wizard. I feel that the breath of "Da Dan Tongbao" is getting farther and farther away from this~~"

"In which direction?"

The ghost of the Liao Kingdom was silent for a while, pointed in the direction of Shunzi City, and said affirmatively: "There! ”

"Master, come over and eat some jujubes first." Li Xiaohe held a large handful of jujubes and chewed them while walking towards the end.

Mo Wuwen also grabbed a tuft of pears and chewed on them, saying, "The ghost of the Liao Kingdom said that the copper coin is in Shunzi City, and we will also go to Shunzi City to inquire about the news of the shopkeeper and Wang Jin's father and son." ”

"Master, aren't you going to look for the mountain god?" Li Xiaomai put down the crutches in his hand and said hurriedly.

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." Mo Wuwen said.

"Haha, Master. When did you become a monk? Mo Wuwen's words actually made Li Xiaomai laugh.

"Let's go find the mountain god, and we can take the ghost with us when it's dark." But this is still a little far from the residence of the mountain god halfway up the mountainside, how can I bring the ghosts with me. Mo Wuwen racked his brains to think, and suddenly his brain opened. Even if ghosts can be hidden in copper coins, they can also be hidden in watches.

Mo Wuwen thought of this and immediately approached the small cave and put the celadon and the watch together. When the celadon glows faintly, the ghost of the Liao Kingdom flies into the watch.

Mo Wuwen put on his watch and walked towards the place where the mountain god lived in his memory, the topography of Longming Mountain has not changed for thousands of years, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the rocks that pressed on the mountain god's residence.

Mo Wuwen took the celadon piece and knocked it east and west, and called softly, "Mountain God, Mountain God, Mountain God~~" But no matter how Mo Wuwen knocked and shouted, the rock was still a cold rock, and there was no reaction.

In Longming Mountain in late autumn, the sky quickly became dark. After many attempts, Mo Wuwen also gave up calling to the mountain god and said, "Let's go to Shunzi City, I still have a few changes that the shopkeeper found me at the Sunset Inn, let's go down the mountain to buy something to eat." ”

At the foot of Longming Mountain, Mo Wuwen saw the lights of the farmhouse in front of him lit, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The door creaked open, and a sturdy villager stuck out his head to look at Mo Wuwen and asked.

"Big brother. We're passing by and want to buy you something to eat. Mo Wuwen looked at the villagers and had some copper coins in his hands.

The villager looked at Mo Wu again, then turned back into the house, and after a while brought up a bamboo basket with a few roasted sweet potatoes and said, "We only have these things." ”

Mo Wuwen hurriedly took the bamboo basket, handed the copper coin to the villagers, and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

"Wow wow, so much money!" The villagers' eyes lit up when they saw so many copper coins in their hands, and by the time he raised his head, Mo Wuwen had already walked away.

When Mo Wuwen brought the sweet potato to Li Xiaomai's eyes, Li Xiaomai took a deep breath and wanted to inhale the fragrance of the sweet potato. But Li Xiaohe unceremoniously grabbed the sweet potato from the bamboo basket and stuffed it into his mouth, coughing cough and almost choking himself.

And Mo Wuwen just picked up the smallest sweet potato and slowly gnawed it and was reluctant to eat it, Li Xiaomai saw this scene, so he broke the sweet potato in his hand into two pieces and handed it to Mo Wuwen The slightly larger sweet potato and said, "Master, give~"

Mo Wuwen smiled and took the sweet potato and took a bite of it, patted Li Xiaomai's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go to Shunzi City!" ”

They continued to walk for a while, and soon arrived at the east gate of Shunzi City, where the streets and alleys were faintly lit.

Tuk-tuk, from far to near, the sound of horses' hooves. "Woohoo~~" The officers and soldiers stopped in front of them with guns and horses.

The villager who sold sweet potatoes flipped off his horse, pointed at Mo Wuwen, and said to the capital, "Master Jiang." It's him, the person you are looking for who looks exactly like the Heavenly Master, I don't know where he got the money, took a few sweet potatoes and actually gave me half of the money. As soon as the words were spoken, the villagers regretted that they had shown their mouths, and what if they all asked him for this half of the money.

Du Tou saw Mo Wuwen, but shook his head and said to the villagers, "You recognized the wrong person, the murderer will not be him." ”

"Murderer? I don't know about this master, I just think he is like the Heavenly Master. Didn't the general say that whoever provided the traces of people who resembled the Heavenly Master would be greatly rewarded? After speaking, the villagers raised their heads and saw the majestic eyes of the capital, and they were frightened and immediately changed their words and said, "The little ones are dazzled, damn it, damn it, the little people will leave." ”

Du Tou didn't speak, just rode his horse and watched the villagers flee in a hurry, jumped off the horse, and motioned for the officers and soldiers to check elsewhere. Seeing the officers and soldiers walking away, he walked to Mo Wuwen, handed over the "Da Dan Tongbao" and said, "Your Excellency, take it." ”

Mo Wuwen thought to himself whether this head recognized the wrong person or what tricks he was doing, and looking at Du Tou's respectful appearance, it was estimated that it was more likely that he recognized the wrong person. Anyway, Mo Wuwen will take "Da Dan Tongbao" first.

"Your Excellency, the Sunset Shopkeeper and those two fathers and sons are also your people?" Du Tou still whispered so humbly.

"They're my friends."

"Yes, Your Excellency. I'll let them go right away, but why did you kill the Dao Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Lord Envoy? Damn, the little one should be damned, the little one shouldn't ask~~" After asking, Du Tou saw Mo Wuwen with a blank face, thinking that he had made him angry, and he was so scared that he even trembled when he spoke.

"When was the Dao Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion killed? We didn't do it. Mo Wuwen was secretly frightened, but he didn't dare to speak more, for fear of revealing his stuffing.

"You didn't kill people!" Du Tou was even more taken aback.

"It's not the people we killed. My friend, where are they? ”

"In the prison of Shunzi City, Lord Envoy."

"Why are they in prison?"

"Before the Taoist chief was killed, the Taoist priest saw that the shopkeeper of the Sunset Inn took a few people to see the Taoist chief, and one of them was dressed as a heavenly master, which should mean that you are the envoy. After the shopkeeper left with you, the Taoist chief seemed to be undecided and went to rest early in the evening. It wasn't until the next day at breakfast that the Taoist priests knocked on the door and no one answered, and when they smelled blood, they broke through the door and found that the Taoist priest had been stabbed to death on the bed with his own sword in the chest. Dutou said in detail.

"Do you think we absconded for murder?"

"According to the villagers, the shopkeeper fled in the direction of Shunzi City in a carriage, and we chased them all the way until we found the shopkeeper's carriage at the foot of Longming Mountain and grabbed them. The shopkeeper summoned the envoy to go up Longming Mountain, and we went up the mountain to search, fortunately, I picked up the token of the envoy and knew that it was my own family, and I didn't offend you. ”

"Then let them go, we still have urgent things to do."

"Definitely, definitely. However~~" are a little embarrassed, and they can't speak for a long time.

"What's the matter, you say."

"After the prisoner is imprisoned, no one can take the prisoner out without the decree of the county magistrate."

"Then you cooperate with us to rescue people."

"Your Excellency, you just do what you ask, and the little ones do it." Du Tou said resignedly.

"You send us to prison." Mo Wuwen thought for a while and said.

"Master~~" Li Xiaomai wondered if Master was crazy and went to throw himself into the net.

"It's okay, Xiaomai." Mo Wuwen comforted Li Xiaomai very calmly.

"Sending you to prison? Envoy, are you kidding? "Dutou thinks that the words that have not been heard of at the end are incredible.

Mo Wuwen muttered something in Li Xiaomai's ear, and then said to Dutou, "No kidding." You bring me a knife into the cell. Remember to bring good food and wine to the cell bosses, and when they get drunk, you can prepare a carriage for us outside the cell. ”

"Your Excellency, there's no problem with this. However, if you escape, you will be absconding in fear of crime, and the officers and soldiers will continue to hunt you down. ”

"When the news of our imprisonment broke, the real killer let his guard down and maybe show his feet."

"The envoy means that the murderer will blame you for the murder?"

"Not necessarily. We don't know why we killed the Dao Chief, have you heard that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is missing anything? ”

"No, the Taoist priests didn't say anything."

"Come on." Mo Wuwen put his hands on his head and said.

"What?" Du Tou looked at Mo Wuwen with puzzled eyes.

"Tie me up, what are you doing in a daze."

"Master~~" Li Xiaomai still wanted to stop Master's crazy adventure.

"Tie them up first, remember it's a slipknot." Mo Wuwen commanded the head.

Dutou took out the rope from the bag on the saddle according to the instructions of Mo Wuwen, and tied Li Xiaohe's hands in a slipknot under Li Xiaomai's teaching, which seemed to be firm and practical, and the rope would be released as soon as he held it up. Then he tied up the last Wuwen Ruli Xiaomai one by one, and escorted them to the city of Shunzi on horseback.
