Chapter 38: The Promise to Save Lives

Before he reached the yamen, Hu Xianxian saw a circle of people pointing under a pillar. She squeezed into the crowd and looked at the pillars where several heads hung from them.

Looking at those heads, she opened her mouth a few times before she spoke in a dumb voice: "Tall and wide? Also, there are high mountains...... They are all from Gaojia Village! They are guilty, but they don't die if they sin. ”

Someone in the crowd snorted coldly: "If you say something fake, isn't it because you want them to die?" You have the big backer of King Shenjun, and you will punish whoever makes you wronged? ”

"Me?" Hu Xianxian's eyes swept around him, "How can I move someone like King Shenjun?" The prince did not participate in the suppression of bandits. I hate those bandits, but these people above are not the ones I hate! ”

Cheng Haofeng stopped the crowd that surrounded them more and more: "Who did you listen to to catch the surname Gao, and it was the prince who killed the surname Gao who was angry with Hu Xianxian?" ”

Someone said loudly: "The people in the government said it when they paid the premium!" “

Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian looked at each other, this Che Ang is really ruthless, not to mention borrowing things to make money, but also leading the people's grievances to King Shenjun and Hu Xianxian.

Seeing that they did not speak, another onlooker said, "You don't have any quibbles, do you?" Originally, the prefect of Che only wanted to arrest a few bandits with lives on their hands, but it was Hu Xianxian who instigated the prince to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and even the daughter who married out of Gaojia Village was arrested. ”

Hu Xianxian's eyes were bloodshot and frighteningly red, but she had no tears: "Who do you say is the leader of Gaojia Village?" It's Gao Youbiao! Where is he? Was he caught? And who is the best in the North Gate? It's a treasure! He was originally caught by the people of Yuanmingguan and sent to the official mansion, but why didn't he have his head on it? Gao Youquan, who is the best at bad ideas, hasn't seen his head cut off for public display, right? The person I hate the most isn't on it at all! There are mountains, high and wide, and they are the people who helped me......"

She wanted to say more, but her nose was too sore to speak. She really couldn't have imagined that things would turn out like this, and that so many innocent people would be implicated.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Zhutou came over with a few catchers to disperse the crowd, and when he saw Hu Xianxian, he pretended to say, "Miss Hu? Is the prince okay? The prefect and the lowly have punished these people who dare to imprison and abuse you, are you satisfied? ”

Hu Xianxian looked at him and sneered three times, and then said loudly: "Don't hurry away, big guy, listen to me." If the prefect doesn't release the innocent people, I will take everyone to rob the prison! ”

Hu Xianxian didn't want her father and fellow villagers to misunderstand that she was a person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and the fox faked the tiger, so she looked at Ma Zhutou coldly.

Ma Zhutou's face also darkened, and he endured his anger and continued to talk nonsense: "Miss Hu, don't think that you can talk nonsense if you have the prince as a backer!" ”

Hu Xianxian bit his lip to suppress his anger, he really didn't understand why these people had to pull themselves and King Shenjun together.

Cheng Haofeng blocked her behind him and said in a deep voice: "She didn't talk nonsense, it was you who talked nonsense!" Her backer is not King Shenjun, she went to the King of Shen's Mansion for help just by chance, and she has nothing to do with King Shenjun. You hear clearly, Hu Xianxian's backer is my Cheng Haofeng. ”

Cheng Haofeng pushed away the fast catch in front of him, and pulled Hu Xianxian to Hongbin Tower. Because he walked too fast, Cheng Haofeng was injured by the pull, and he stopped to cover his chest.

Hu Xianxian saw that blood was oozing from his chest, and hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a hurry, let's find a medical hall to apply medicine and then leave." ”

"Go back quickly, I'll have to use my own aura to heal my wounds. Those herbs are not good at healing the injuries caused by the concussion of the internal organs. ”

Hu Xianxian helped him up and asked, "Didn't you get a lot better after a night's rest last night?" This Qin Mufeng is too, how can he put such a heavy hand on his senior brother? ”

"My injuries have indeed healed a lot, although I have entered the mortal world, I have immortal qi to protect my body, and my wounds heal much faster than ordinary people. The sixth junior brother is not heavy, he only used one success, with his current strength, even if I don't enter the mortal, I can only fight with him to a draw. ”

The two talked as they walked, and Hu Xianxian was puzzled when he heard it: "Then why did you suddenly aggravate your injuries?" ”

"Blame myself." He stopped to rest for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The immortal family pays attention to peace of mind, especially not to have resentment and revenge, which will cause mental disorder and give birth to demonic obstacles. I was angry because of you, and I was angry because of the sixth junior brother, but I only cared about you and worried about you, and I didn't want to hurt you. But along the way, it really makes me want to break those dog officials to pieces! Just now, the blood was surging, and the wound was split again......"

Hu Xianxian held his hand tightly and said softly: "Don't be angry, I really didn't know that your anger would damage your body." I'll see where there is a carriage, and I'll get back to heal as soon as possible. You just heal yourself, I'll think of a way to let the car go. ”

As soon as she arrived at the door of Hongbin Building, a girl in colorful clothes ran out with a smile: "Sister Hu, you are back." I still want to eat the dumplings you made, but they all laugh at me. ”

Hu Xianxian looked at the girl in front of him and laughed: "Miss Mai, aren't you afraid of being choked again?" ”

"If it weren't for my brother's clumsy appearance that makes people laugh, how would I be choking? It's all my brother's fault. Sister Hu, don't call me Miss Mai, you just call me Nasha. I think a lot of interesting things will happen with you, if it weren't for Abba saying that Lingzhou City has just been pacified and unsafe, I would have come to Hongbin Tower a long time ago. ”

Mai Nasha said a long list, Hu Xianxian wanted to help Cheng Haofeng enter the door as soon as possible, but he was embarrassed to say her.

It was easy to wait for Manasha to finish speaking, Hu Xianxian and Cheng Haofeng had just walked into the lobby, and Mataha opened her arms and walked towards Hu Xianxian enthusiastically: "Xianxian, I miss you so much." ”

Cheng Haofeng stretched out his hand to block Hu Xianxian, and said with an unkind face: "She has something important to do, and I'll chat with you later." ”

Hu Xianxian laughed and helped Cheng Haofeng to go upstairs, and Maitaha felt that Cheng Haofeng treated him so coldly, which was really a little inexplicable.

He looked at their backs and said, "What's the matter?" I'm looking for immortals to have important things. The dishes we made together last time in the palace were very popular, and I am going to open a Tianfang restaurant with Xianxian. ”

Hu Xianxian didn't reply when he heard this, the second fat, the third uncle, they all surrounded Metaha and asked.

Entering Pan Zongqiang's room upstairs, Pan Zongqiang lay upright on the bed, Hu Xianxian said loudly: "Get up, what do you sleep in the daytime?" ”

Cheng Haofeng sat on his bed and crossed his legs: "Don't shout, he can't get up." ”

"Can't get up? What happened to him? Hu Xianxian felt cold in his heart, thinking that Pan Zongqiang was dead.

"His soul should still be confronting Kuai Diancong, you go out first. You take care of the guests and don't bother me. As he spoke, he closed his eyes, and the expression on his face gradually became calm and indifferent.

Hu Xianxian pulled the door lightly and muttered quietly: "Talking halfway makes people worry blindly." ”

She went downstairs to the lobby to chat with everyone, and then instructed the bolt and said, "Bolt, you pay more attention to Master Pan's room, don't let people go there to make noise." ”

I went to the kitchen to make some rice balls for the Mai brothers and sisters to eat, and she didn't eat lunch and ate them together.

A few people talked about trivial matters while eating, and Metaha talked about how solemn and complicated the ceremony of King Shenjun's sacrifice to his father was, and how regretful it was to be unable to attend in person while watching from afar.

But Manasha said that those cumbersome etiquette were not interesting, and there was some accident in the old prince's cemetery at the end, which was quite scary.

"Accident?" Hu Xianxian swallowed the rice balls in one gulp, almost choking on himself.

"Xianxian, are you alright?" Mataha asked her with concern.

He also said to Manasha, "Don't be startled when you eat rice balls, what should I do if the fairy chokes?" What kind of scary accident, isn't it just crawling out a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants? ”

Hu Xianxian glanced at Maitaha: "It's you who mentioned it yourself, why do you blame Nasha?" Then he smiled and said to Manasha, "Nasha, tell me what is going on." In our Central Plains, the tombs of dignitaries and nobles are all set up to cut off insect roads, how can there be many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the cemetery of the old Shenjun King? ”

Manatha raised an eyebrow at her brother and stuck out her tongue before talking about it.

Even in the Kingdom of Heaven, the tombs are filled with insecticidal spices. Even if the poor are buried shallowly, with wild dogs to dig and snakes and rats to live in, they will not suddenly pour out in large groups.

In the Central Plains, which has always paid attention to funerals, and in the luxuriously built prince's cemetery, many, many, many snakes, insects, rats and ants suddenly poured out......

Mainessa looked at the people around her again, and whispered in Hu Xianxian's ear: "It is rumored that the old prince believes in Buddhism and originally wanted to be cremated. King Shen did not listen to his father's will and insisted on being buried according to the royal family, which caused a resurgence of snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”

Hu Xianxian pursed his lips and pondered: "It shouldn't be like this, it is impossible for the prince to be cremated, and the royal regulations are not allowed." ”

Seeing that Hu Xianxian denied his sister's statement, Mai Taha raised his eyebrows proudly at his sister: "Of course it's not such a mysterious reason, it's that the old prince is unwilling to set up a broken insect path, and he said that he can't accidentally hurt the lives of ants." Ordinary people's tombs are very small,

There won't be many snakes, insects, rats and ants, but the prince's cemetery is large, and there are many flowers and trees, so there must be many small animals living there. On that day, a lot of sesame oil was used in the ceremony, and a lot of fragrant offerings were set up, which of course attracted a lot of small insects and beasts that were preparing for the winter. ”

Hu Xianxian nodded: "There is some truth, those sacrifices laid out are just good food for the winter in the eyes of small insects and beasts." ”

She thought for a while and looked at Mai Taha seriously: "Young Master Mai, is it when the sacrifice is about to be completed that a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants gush out?" ”

"I don't know very much either. “

He said that he waited outside the cemetery with some foreign merchants that day, wanting to see the pomp and honor guard of King Shenjun's sacrifice. Suddenly, a lot of people ran out in a panic, yelling and saying that the monster had run out.

Mataha also ran around, fearing that the things would come out and bite people. But the strange thing was that after an hour, he didn't see any insects crawling on the street, and he thought that someone was deliberately making trouble.

Two days later, I heard that there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the cemetery, but only a few snakes and rats were killed outside the cemetery.

Hu Xianxian was silent for a long time and said, "I know why the people in the palace are searching for and buying the insect-definite bell grass at a high price, in order to prevent those snakes, insects, rats and ants from running out. ”

Mataha and Manasha both nodded, and Hu Xianxian said again: "Young Master Mai, Nasha, if you need anything, just go to the second fat and ask for it." I still have something to do, so I can't spend more time with you. ”

Hu Xianxian went to see his mother, explained some things to the guys, and then sat silently in Pan Zongqiang's room.

Not long after, Pan Zongqiang woke up and saw Hu Xianxian, he said with some surprise: "Xianxian, are you waiting for me here?" ”

Hu Xianxian said coldly: "Master Pan, you go out first, and I'll borrow your room." ”

Pan Zongqiang's face changed immediately, and he snorted in his nose: "This is my room, you lonely men and widows are in my room, but let me go out?" ”

Hu Xianxian sneered and said, "Master Pan, do you want to make the people of the Kuai family unlucky?" Do you want to have a peaceful birthday for the rest of your life? If you want to, go out first. ”

Pan Zongqiang grinned, hung his head and walked out, saying as he walked: "I really can't stop this woman." ”

As soon as he left, Cheng Haofeng slowly opened his eyes, "What are you going to say?" ”

"I'm looking for the Worm Bell Grass."

"What you are looking for is not a mundane thing, it is extremely difficult to find."

"Aren't you a god? I've figured it out, I'm going to cultivate. I want the bad guys to be punished, to figure out what is in charge of everything in this world? “

He asked, "That's what you want to cultivate?" ”

"Yes, if you don't seek immortality, you don't want to be able to attain the Great Dao, just want to understand whether there is good and evil retribution between heaven and earth, and whether there is fairness and justice."

Cheng Haofeng sighed: "There is a tree full of fruits, but you can't pick it, will you ask someone to help you pick it or find a way to pick it yourself?" ”

"Of course, you have to figure it out on your own. Won't you just pick a piece of fruit? What does this do, you ask? ”

"Nothing. I'm going to look for the Extinct Bell Grass. ”

She didn't notice that Cheng Haofeng's eyes were overflowing with sadness, she only felt a little lighter in her heart. She stretched her waist and yawned and said, "Find Qin Mufeng to help you, he even knows where the Dream Crystal is, these things will not be difficult for him, and when he overthrows Kuai Diancong, he can be with Wanzhi smoothly." ”
