Chapter Forty-Seven: There Is No Good Feast

Baozi sent Li Zaiyuan away, quietly picked up the tape recorder, and pressed the button to stop recording. Everything was packed up and slowly climbed down the beams. At this time, the old centipede Taoist also came out of Zhu Yan's bedroom, pushed open the door and looked left and right, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he hurried away to the backyard by sticking to the wall. The bun followed, tiptoeing to try not to make a sound. In this way, he followed the old centipede all the way into a very inconspicuous side room.

The old centipede entered the house, sat down on the Taishi's chair as if relieved, and as if remembering something, he took out a flower cloth burden from the bed, which was full of small medicine bottles, and he rummaged through them, and seemed to be not satisfied, so he beckoned his subordinates to bring a snack, and told his subordinates to wait outside. He stretched out two fingers by himself, comparing them between his eyebrows, secretly urging the internal force, and suddenly the black mist surging between the seven orifices, this old Taoist was full of black and purple, drooling, and became extremely terrifying. After he held his face purple, he actually spat black saliva at the dim sum, and the black saliva penetrated into the dim sum, but the appearance of the dim sum was still intact. The buns hiding in the shadows are so disgusting that they want to vomit, and others poison them at least with poison needles, poison hairpins, small medicine bottles or something, this old Wu can be good, he will only spit and spit and foam, and the buns can't help but spit out. After that, the old centipede called the people who had been waiting for a long time, and instructed that the dim sum must be sent to the envoy of the bag, and that he must watch the envoy eat it and come back. The next person went to do it.

The bun slipped out of the back window, found the kitchen where the banquet was being prepared, tore the talisman sticker to show its original shape, and swaggered in. When the cooks and handymen saw the buns, they immediately knelt down and said "forgive the sins". Baozi put his hands behind his back and said, "Where are so many sins, I'm hungry and want to eat snacks." A man who looked like a chef in charge came up and said, "Grandpa, I just sent someone to deliver it to you." The bun nodded, "It's good, I love to eat, let's get another plate." This sentence of praise made the chef happy enough, and he thought that when he worked alone in the future, he must write the words of the five-star praise hand-picked by the king of heaven, so how to make a fortune! Baozi also guessed his thoughts, "Rewarding you, I said at the banquet, don't go and confess with your face." ”

The cooks and servants were all very happy, and warmly sent the buns out of the door, and then went to cook happily.

The bun picked up the dim sum and pasted the charm, quietly sneaked back to the post house from the back window, and saw that the main entrance opened a crack, and Roland was negotiating with the person who sent the dim sum with a white face, and the man said with a dead face, "My lord is afraid that the god will be hungry if he waits for too long for the main meal, so he sent me some snacks and told me to watch the god send grandpa to finish eating before leaving." ”

Roland said, "Are you annoying, we have all lost weight recently, and at noon it is usually a pancake fruit, and I don't eat too much." ”

The subordinate still relied on not leaving, and repeatedly stated that it was up to the gods to finish eating before leaving. Baozi knew that the two old ghosts had good intentions, so he tore up the talisman, tidied up his clothes, walked out of the room casually, and calmly took the pastry, "Okay, if you want to see me eat so much, wait at the door." After that, he turned around and entered the inner room, and after a while, he came out with a pastry plate, still holding a piece of mille-feuille puff pastry Fushou cake in his hand, and chewed heavily, "Go back and report to your master, it's delicious!" Don't be too polite, eat too much dim sum, and you won't be able to eat at the banquet after a while. The servant saw the pastry go down with his own eyes, and then he left satisfied.

As soon as the next person left, Zhu Wu asked to see him outside the door. Baozi doesn't have a bad impression of Zhu Wu, at least at present, he has not been found to be directly involved in the murder of himself and the slaughter of living beings, perhaps his father did not let him participate.

"Come in!" Bun sat in the main hall, and Roland stood behind him. Zhu Wu lifted his robe and knelt down, "Report to the god Qincha master, Rong Bing about the governance of Luding Mountain." ”

"You can talk about it," Baozi replied lightly.

"My father Zhu Yan took over the position of Luding Mountain and River God for three days, and the world has gone through more than 1,080 years. During this period, Zhu Yan led all the immortal classes to work hard and work hard, encourage agriculture, build water conservancy, and vigorously carry out ....."

"Inside, Zhu Wu, let's pick some key points, let's get rid of the clichΓ©!"

"At present, the following problems remain. First, Luding Mountain is co-governed by the dragon clan and the heavenly clan, the hanging dragon is respected, and the river god is supplemented. After the establishment of the country, the hanging dragon has successively assisted the twelve emperors of the world, during which the feng shui points of the station were constantly changed to ensure that the feng shui pattern of Luding Mountain is stable, according to the regulations of heaven, until the Xuantong Emperor ascended the throne, the hanging dragon was transferred to the Xishan office in the area of Dafang Town, but suddenly disappeared when he completed his historical mission and was about to return to heaven. The time of disappearance is 41 days, 41 years on earth. During this period, my father Zhu Yan acted as an agent for various tasks, and we arranged a large number of immortal envoys to search, but it was never successful. The second is that a few days ago, a thief who claimed to be the third prince of the dragon clan was arrested, and he was carrying the hanging dragon Neidan, and he is now in the back hall pending trial, and Neidan has not yet been obtained. According to the inference of the lower officials, the Hanging Dragon Fear has been unexpected. The third is that the hanging dragon immortal died, we are infinitely sad at the same time, we found that the feng shui pattern of Luding Mountain has changed, and the fortune of Longxing Fuwang has declined. At present, there are 13 caves and 11 cultivation points in charge of rebellion, or do not come to the meeting, accounting for 45% of the total cultivation points, among which a small number of ghosts and monsters have given up the right path of cultivation and turned to pit people and kill people. Other rebel points are in a state of secession. In the past month, 77 ghosts and ghosts have been investigated and dealt with, a threefold increase over last year, and 13 of them who committed crimes were dismantled on the spot, and the remaining 64 were all sent to the prefecture for imprisonment. In general, it is believed that the public security situation is gradually becoming chaotic, and it is necessary for the Heavenly Court to send more manpower and increase the number of troops stationed in the army to solve all kinds of problems left over after the death of the Hanging Dragon Immortal. ”

Baozi has some appreciation for Zhu Wu's capable work, which is much better than his father, who only cares about himself, at least he doesn't hide the arrest of the third prince. But then I thought that this guy might be in the same league as the old centipede, and I couldn't trust him easily.

"Roland, see what he said is hungry, reward him with two snacks, you talk while eating."

Zhu Wu bowed and said, "God, you are approachable, you don't put on a show, you are really a model for us to learn" and obeyed the order, and ate all the two Fushou cakes in one go.

Baozi got up, helped Zhu Wu up, and took Zhu Wu's hand again and said, "Let's go, let's go to the banquet!" ”

The banquet hall was lit up, all kinds of immortals and local beasts and mountain ghosts who had achieved a little success gathered together, the old Zhu Yan sat upright in the main seat of the hall, saw Baozi and Zhu Wu come in hand in hand, and hurriedly invited Baozi to take a seat, arranged for Zhu Wu to sit in the position of deputy accompaniment, and the guest and host began to drink and talk.

Baozi said, "All the immortal classes have spared no effort to govern Luding Mountain, and have made great achievements, and have seen and experienced it all the way, and will definitely report to the King of Duowen after returning to Luan." ”

Everyone bowed their hands and thanked God for his cultivation. ”

Baozi toasted to the old man Zhu Yan with another cup, "You have worked selflessly in the world for more than a thousand years, silently guarded the holy lake, and made indelible contributions to the balance of the Three Realms, I respect you for this cup!" ”

Zhu Yan's face bloomed with a smile, "Alas, the gods can think so, it is not in vain for us to work hard for thousands of years." As he spoke, he was about to drain the wine in the cup, but Baozi hurriedly stopped him, took his wine glass and wine jug, and exchanged his own set to Zhu Yan, "According to the rules of our Beiju Luzhou, I toast, drink mine, I don't drink." Zhu Yan was shocked, my God, fortunately he poisoned the dim sum in advance, and not in the wine, otherwise he would have lost his life.

He pretended to be calm and surrendered his hand, "Everyone talks about the guest as the host, but where are you a guest, you are the master of our world, the envoy of the permanent king, this is your home field, how you say to drink, I will drink, come!" I'll toast three times! After that, the old Zhu Yan drank three cups in a row as if he was loyal, and all the sycophants in the audience applauded.

A little fairy asked Baozi, "The gods are on the errand, we heard that Beiju Luzhou is vast and sparsely populated, the land is fertile, the people are rich, and everyone can live for nearly a thousand years, is there such a thing?" ”

Baozi poured out his knowledge of geography and history, and pretended to understand it very well, "Beiju Luzhou is indeed richer than the other three states, but it is not so exaggerated, and some countries there, such as Norway, Finland, and Sweden, are all high-welfare countries, where people pay less labor and return more, and the state gives rich money and food, and housing prices are very low." Like Sweden, it is still a *** country, there are not so many constraints between men and women, and they are together casually. Switzerland is the treasury of Jeonbuk Juluzhou, where gold and silver from many countries are stored, and metallurgy, steel, and precision machinery manufacturing are very powerful. Of course, there are also people like the Soviet Union, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and so on, the people are relatively restrained in their pockets, but the national strength is very strong, and the military technology is developed. The people of Beiju Luzhou have a bold personality and like to drink vodka, which is a 70-degree spirit...... "Baozi has made up everything he knows about the north."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they had the heart to go back with the buns, and they wanted to go to Sweden to have a look.

Zhu Yan saw that the time was almost up, and said in his heart why didn't this bun have a stomachache, and his eyes kept looking behind the screen. Baozi also saw Zhu Yan's anxiety, so he turned to Zhu Yan and said, "I heard that the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat in the ground, these two meat deities have never been eaten!" ”

Zhu Yan laughed, "What do I think, isn't it just donkey meat, come, add a dish of freshly splashed donkey meat." Use high heat and big oil, be fast! God, let's eat live this time to call the donkey, that is, cut off a layer of skin from the back buttocks of the donkey, directly pour hot oil on the back buttocks, and then slowly cut off the tender meat, this meat is called delicious! ”

Baozi smiled and waved his hand, "I'm talking about....... Dragon meat. Hearing this, the audience was full of solemnity. Zhu Yan stared at the buns, and then looked at Zhu Wu, "Dragon meat?" ... Hey, the dragon is the honor of the earth immortals, and it is higher than me, how dare I eat dragon meat."

"Zhu Wu!" Bun command to

Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Please send orders from the gods." ”

Baozi stopped smiling, and said with a cold face, "Well, please bring that piece of stinky dragon meat to me to see." Zhu Yan glanced at Zhu Wu, thinking to himself how this kid had sold his father! Zhu Wu never supported the killing of the third prince, and now reflected the real situation to Baozi, and felt ashamed in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at his father, so he only lowered his head and stretched out his arms, "No!" "After a while, the third prince who was tied up with five flowers was escorted up, and he didn't see him for a few days, and this kid lost at least ten pounds. As soon as the third prince saw the buns on the main seat, he yelled "You..."

"Bold" Baozi slapped the table and gagged the mouth of the unobstructed third prince, "The deity is now a holy messenger sent by the King of Heaven to repair you!" Dare to make a time! "Baozi sent to tell him that the deity is here to save you. Of course, the third prince is not stupid, he is obedient and has words, and in a blink of an eye, he generally understands what is going on, and puffs down and knelt down, "The upper is on top, make the decision for me." Then he told me what happened after entering Luding Mountain.

Baozi didn't scold Zhu Yan, but scolded the third prince, "Bastard, you have a stinky mouth, and you say disrespectful words at other people's wedding banquets, you know the most in the whole world?" The bun spitted at the mouth and reprimanded the third prince, and even if the third prince was dissatisfied at this time, he could only listen with his neck stalked. Baozi turned to Zhu Yan and arched his hand, "Senior Zhu, this third prince and his father, that is, the third son of the Dragon King, has now achieved positive results, and is among the Buddhas in Xiniu Hezhou. I heard that the king of heaven was kind, so he ordered me to come to Dongsheng Shenzhou to look for it, and I didn't want to be here for you. ”

Zhu Yan was ten thousand unhappy in his heart, but what could he say, he hated Zhu Wu in his heart for being timid and afraid that things would not work out, and he had to follow the words of the bun on his face, "Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, you see that my old decay has never gone out here for a thousand years, and I am not qualified to enter the heavenly court to face the saint, I don't know this immortal class, and I haven't been to other ministries and continents, so the water washed the Dragon King Temple, come, loosen the tie, hurry up and watch the seat." ”

The third prince pointed at Zhu Yan, "Old thing!" You money-grubbing murderer..."

Baozi interrupted the third prince: "Hey! Can you please shut up? Roland, Palmmouth. Roland was also obedient, and went up with two big-eared scrapers, hitting the third prince and blinking his eyes.

"Third child, I'm now punishing you for not eating or sitting, understand?" Baozi has more eyes, and he is afraid that the third prince's food will also be poisoned. When the servant heard this, he had to move the food that had been served to the side and remove the chair.

"No, what do you want? It's not enough to kill people! "The third prince was indeed hungry for more than two days, and he just wanted to gnaw on a whole leg of lamb, but he really didn't want to put it down after listening to the words of the bun. But when the soldiers behind saw that he was disobedient, they immediately pulled out their swords and put them across the neck of the third prince. Only then did the third prince realize that Baozi was the protagonist of the whole banquet, and he wondered in his heart, this kid was mortal in the flesh, and he was still throwing a big nose two days ago, how could he make such a big scene today, even the immortals hidden in the cracks of the stones in Luding Mountain came to meet, and they were respectful to him one by one.

Baozi stood up, "Now that everyone is here, let's drink this cup to the fullest, and wish Mrs. Zhu a long life, good health, and thousands of generations!" ”

Zhu Yan was about to get up and thank Baozi for his blessings, but Baozi motioned him not to speak, and pointed behind the screen, "Behind the screen, is Daochang Wu?" Come out! We eat, you watch, hungry or not? Zhu Yan was so frightened that he slammed the cup on the ground, and the soldiers hidden behind the curtain tent and the wall thought that they had sent a signal, and they killed with their swords, and the archers behind the wall rounded their crossbows and aimed them at the hall in rows. But the soldiers soon found out that the situation was not right!

Baozi grabbed Lao Zhu Yan's hand, half-hugged him in front of him, and said with a smile, "There is also a knife tip performance!" ”

Zhu Yan trembled and waved his hand, and the soldiers collected their knives and guns and dispersed.

The old centipede also reluctantly walked out from behind the screen, his mouth was still a little swollen, but an arm had grown, but he couldn't hold anything too heavy, he drooped, and looked decadent. The old centipede was very reluctant to bow his hand to the bun, "See the god of heaven." ”

Baozi snorted coldly, "Come on, tie up." The whole audience was shocked, thinking to themselves how this god is a moody lord.

Everyone knows that this old centipede has always been Zhu Yan's guest, how dare he do it casually, his eyes are looking at Zhu Yan, watching his statement. But Zhu Yan closed his eyes slightly, and didn't say yes, nor did he say no. Instead, Zhu Wu got up and ordered, "Come on, tie up!" Then a samurai came over and tied the old centipede to a strong one.

The old centipede begged Zhu Yan, "Old brother, old brother, you can't just be tossed by a few wild children, old brother." ”

Zhu Yan felt that the general trend had gone, and all the plans were frustrated, and now he could only wait for the steamed buns to be poisonous, so he opened his eyes and said some nonsense to delay time, "Oh, Shangxian, this old thing is also the patriarch of Luding Mountain, I don't know what misunderstanding he has with Shangxian?" I know this old thing, he never talks and does things without his brain, and when someone comes, he will be beaten for twenty boards. ”

Baozi smiled and asked slowly, "How can twenty boards be exchanged for more than forty unjust souls?" ”

Zhu Yan pretended to be confused and asked, "Shangxian, what does this mean?" ”

Baozi also asked rhetorically, "You are the local governor, what do you say?" ”

Zhu Yan's face sank, "You said it just now, I'm no longer a local governor, what do you want me to say?" Zhu Yan's sour words were very strong, this was obviously about to tear his face, and he fought with the bun.

Baozi said, "Okay, let's talk about what this old centipede did" Roland stepped forward and told him what happened after entering Luding Mountain, and all the little fairies and monsters were dumbfounded, or bowed their heads and were silent. Baozi listened and looked down at the expressions of the nether immortals, and one by one there were no ghosts in his heart, and those who had ghosts looked down sideways, and some of their eyes were still slippering. It seems that this group of so-called immortals has not been very honest recently, although they will not all go to rob houses and pit people to kill people, but stealing some things, inhaling some yang energy, and ** one or two women are still indispensable. There was a faint smell of sweat mixed with a strange smell of urine.

Zhu Yan stroked his beard and said, "Our immortal family has to speak every word, what is the evidence for your words?" ”

Baozi scratched his head, "Oh, it's really hard to find evidence!" ”

Zhu Yan was a lot more relaxed when he heard this, and laughed, "Oh, the gods may have been tired all the way, and some misjudgments are understandable." "Everyone also agreed, yes, yes, the immortals are working hard, and our Luding Mountain is also safe.

Baozi raised his chin slightly, Roland nodded, took out the blue and white porcelain vase of the old centipede's soul, opened the stopper, and the man in the red sweater and his daughter flew out of it, the two of them stood timidly in the hall, looking around the crowd fearfully, and when they saw the old centipede standing next to them, the little girl was so frightened that she cried and hid in her father's arms. The man in the red sweater was about to rush up and beat the old centipede, but was stopped by the samurai.

Baozi whispered to the two ghosts, "I didn't send you back in time, I thought I was going to be a judge, don't be afraid, say it." The two of them told the old centipede what he had done.

Zhu Yan slapped the table, "What's the matter?" Where did you come from, wild spirits, and who taught you to be witnesses and deceive the Chincha? This is obviously for Baozi.

Baozi hurriedly comforted Zhu Yan and said, "Alas, Mr. Zhu, don't get excited, the level of lonely souls and wild ghosts is low, don't you believe it." It's okay, I'll talk to the errand boy. Then he shouted to the doorkeeper, "Open the door, someone is coming!" ”

Who's knocking on the door right now? The doorman was ignorant, and he didn't dare not listen, so he hurriedly trotted all the way to open the door, and there was a burst of black gas outside, and a team of soldiers suddenly appeared, black helmets, black armor and black cloaks, and white helmets and cherry blossoms swaying lightly in the wind, it was none other than Baozi's new friend and underworld general Li Zaiyuan. Next to the soldier stood a large number of souls of little girls of eight or nine years old.

Li Zaiyuan is the blood of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty, and has a distant relative of the Dragon Clan, who died in the Northeast when he fought in Goryeo, and after his death, he was in charge of all the underworld ghost arrest affairs in Luding Mountain, similar to the public security brigade and the captain of the criminal investigation team. He is the highest official in charge of soul detention, and the lord of the Luding Mountain Immortal Mansion and the Earth Cave is so afraid of Li Zaiyuan that he is afraid of running into it when he walks at night. Seeing Li Zaiyuan leading the soldiers into the murderous walk-in, they all crawled to the ground, thinking that they were unlucky enough today to have a good meal, but they ate the soul-restraint.

When Li Zaiyuan saw the bun, he leaned over and worshipped, "God is above, and the last general Li Zaiyuan knocks on God." On the way to inspect yesterday, we found that 41 wild ghosts were infested collectively, so they were all detained, and the initial investigation found that all 41 people were children who had not reached the end of their lives, and we immediately filed a case for investigation, and according to the children's reaction, we seized the important evidence that Wu Hongpho, a centipede spirit who had been cultivating in Luding Mountain for 1,172 years, was suspected of sucking yin blood, bad gang, and corrupting ethics, and investigated and dealt with a number of stolen goods in his den, and now we are here to detain them. Where is Wu Hongpho? ”

The old centipede fell to his knees, "Here." ”

Li Zaiyuan didn't look at him squarely, "detained and took the underworld to the court." ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly stopped, "Alas! General Lee! General Li Bi is going to sit down when he comes, and he is in a hurry to leave. ”

Baozi also said, "That's right, although this thing is a crime, he is not dead, and the prefecture cannot try him according to the law." Since Zhu Wu, who is in charge of the human world, and Li Zaiyuan, who is in charge of the underworld, and I am the special envoy of the Buddhist family, we might as well organize a task force and have two sessions of trial. How is it? ”
