As soon as the five masters left, the prohibition in the courtyard was removed, and the two demons were the first to come to their senses.

"What's going on?" Lu Shiyi pinched his fist and released it, always feeling that he was missing something.

Mo Huaigu nodded, indicating that he also felt the same way. He swept around, and when he saw Liu Yanshu holding his forehead, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps and asked, "Master Hou, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Liu Yanshu's eyes tightened, and he slowed his gaze to Zhou Xuanqing on the other end. Not long after the brazier at her feet was extinguished, there was still cyan smoke coming out, and she smiled faintly at him with the flower cat in her arms:

"Fang Cai Wudao Master came up, we chatted with him for a while, and finally he brought Xiao Tan's remnant soul back to the underworld. ”

Liu Yanshu's expression changed when he heard her say 'we', and asked, "Who else besides you?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Ah Hua opened her mouth at the right time and yawned, stretched out the tip of her long tongue and licked a circle of hair, baring her teeth and saying, "I, Little Flower Master." ”

Zhou Xuanqing also laughed and agreed: "Yes, yes, it's Ah Hua." ”

Liu Yanshu hurriedly glanced at the spotted cat, and said indifferently: "It's late at night, it's nothing, go and rest early." ”

Zhou Xuanqing still wanted to say something, hugged Ah Hua in his arms, turned his head and said, "Okay, Xiaodao is really sleepy, and Master Hou will go to bed early." ”

Looking at her distant back under the moonlight, Liu Yanshu's eyes darkened.

"Master Hou, she?"

Lu Shiyi opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by Liu Yanshu raising his finger, "Needless to say, Ben Hou is measured." ”

The next day, the morning light brightened.

Zhou Xuanqing got up late, and he didn't see how Governor Yang and Cai Youzhi handled the affairs of Huangshan, but he only knew that the Huang family really didn't come to the door to make trouble, and it must have been the trick made by Hou Ye.

She straightened her robe, shook the hem of her sleeves, and then her body shook slightly, and a slight 'jingle' sound sounded in her arms, attracting the attention of the spotted cat.

Ah Hua listened with pricked ears, stretched out her claws and pressed Zhou Xuanqing's feet, and asked, "What is hidden in your arms?"

Zhou Xuanqing was asked by it, as if he was reminded. She took out the hollow golden eagle in her arms and handed it over: "I forgot to tell you, the jade bead here is the demon pill of Hu Siniang, you can take it." ”

The spotted cat was overjoyed, took it and pressed it under its paws, and rubbed it for a while before he became suspicious: "How did you get it?

Zhou Xuanqing cleared his throat in embarrassment, turned his face and said, "Don't think about it, it's the demon monarch who let me go here for the time being, maybe when I think about it, I'll ask me to go back." Anyway, I'm not afraid of him, you can take it away and give it to Hu Siniang. Speaking of which, it's only been half a month since you left for the time being, and with your ability, you will definitely be able to find them soon. ”

After saying that, she vaguely felt that something was wrong: What did I bother to explain to a cat?

Ah Hua rolled her eyes and said leisurely: "That's okay, Xiaohua Ye is welcome." I'll leave right away, and I'll be back in two days. ”

Hearing the meaning of this, this cat still wants to come back? Zhou Xuanqing wondered: "If you find your master, just accompany them." ”

"It's no fun to follow you. Anyway, it's such a happy decision!"

Hey, is it okay to be so assertive? Sure enough, it's an unusual cat, and I've really lost my eyes before.

Zhou Xuanqing muttered to himself, watching the cat disappear into his eyes.

Liu Yanshu Shi Ran walked to the door of the room, knocked on the door, and reclined.

Long and jade, dignified and uninhibited. Zhou Xuanqing smiled after coming back to his senses: "Is there something wrong with Master Hou?"

Liu Yanshu flicked his sleeves and strode in, his peach eyes swept around the room, but he didn't sit down. He asked:

"What about the dead fat cat?"

Zhou Xuanqing pursed his lips and laughed dryly: "Ah Hua misses Mr. Kong, so leave for a while." ”

Liu Yanshu pondered and spoke: "You said yesterday that the Demon Monarch took you to Luo Ming Mountain, but what other intentions?"

Zhou Xuanqing didn't expect him to ask about this, thinking about how to deal with it, his eyes lit up, he approached him unhurriedly, and made a sudden move!

I saw her kick sideways and hit the lower plate. Liu Yanshu made a decisive move, flipped her wrist and buckled her raised calf, and lifted it up, forcing Zhou Xuan to stand on her legs and jump up.

"You're playing tricks!"

"Do you want to tell Ben Hou to cut off his children and grandchildren?"

Zhou Xuanqing had a weak heart, and said dryly and perfunctorily: "Previously, the demon monarch pretended to be the Hou Ye, and he deceived Xiaodao into Baizhuang. Xiaodao is not afraid of being fooled again, so he wants to try the truth and fake. ”

"Your dog's nose is not working?" Unfortunately, Liu Yanshu didn't think so, and his subordinates didn't relax.

"If Fang Cai really accidentally kicked it" - Zhou Xuanqing made a movement to wipe his neck: "Will Master Hou want Xiaodao's life?"

Liu Yanshu weighed it carefully: "No, Ben Hou will keep you for treatment." Some things should get better. ”

Phew, what logic!

Liu Yanshu hooked his lips, smiled in his eyebrows, and let go.

"It just so happens that Ben Hou wants to go to Na Luo Ming Mountain to have a look, and you lead the way. ”

～

At the foot of Luoming Mountain, the eyes are full of autumn light, red leaves everywhere, and the mountains are beautiful.

A couple was sitting in the gazebo, one with a serious face and the other sobbing.

looked at the man in his forties patting the woman in Luo Yi and comforted: "Don't be sad, it's a good thing that the great real people send people to choose the boys and girls to serve." Doesn't it mean that the imperial court will issue 50 ingots of silver? Our children are just learning to make Jiao rituals, recite scriptures, and not endure hardships. ”

The woman choked and wiped her tears: "The court has changed its tricks, and last month it was necessary to build an altar to worship, and this month it was said that it was going to choose a prodigy. Haven't you heard that there are some powerful people in the capital who have dirty intentions, who knows if the child is hiding his name when he goes?"

"Then what can be done? The government says it wants it, but it can't refuse to give it. ”

It turned out that in addition to building altars on a large scale, the imperial court also collected many children and boys. If the former is for His Majesty's recuperation and longevity, then the latter is a bit far-fetched. Although it is said that it does not matter whether it is rich or poor at the time of election, but the rich and powerful have already made good connections, even if the birthday is closed, the officials in charge of selecting people will turn a blind eye, and most of them are still selected from poor families.

The so-called love for the son is heartfelt, and this woman is naturally unwilling to be separated. At noon today, the family sat in the gazebo and talked about the child's stubble.

The seven or eight-year-old child didn't understand what the adults were worried about, and the siblings hid behind the bushes to play.

The couple talked for a while and came to no conclusion, and the woman got up and came looking for the child.

"Don't hide, it's time to go back to dinner. ”

She shouted for a while, then began to look around the bushes again. However, only half a man's tall weeds were blown from side to side by the wind, and there were no two children in the field!

"Come on, the child is gone!"
