Chapter 54: Stealing Mountain Ginseng
"What is it? 300 gold bricks? And what did the old Taoist priest say?"
Ma Xiaoyu was very curious about what could be worth 300 gold bricks.
"Hehe, a wild ginseng, enough to bring people back to life Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, hey, it's a pity, I lost it for no reason. ”
"Oh, what did the old man say?"
"Lao Dao told the fourth master that it is very human to be able to steal ginseng from such a strict Qiao Mansion without knowing it. ”
"Lao Dao just said such a sentence? Then why does the fourth master hate Tianjimen? What does this have to do with Tianjimen?"
Ma Xiaoyu couldn't understand it more and more, although he knew that the old way meant that it was not ordinary people who stole ginseng, but it could also be mountain spirits and wild monsters or something, why did the fourth master conclude that it was the hand of Tianjimen?
"Brother Ma doesn't know, at that time, the fourth master found Tianjimen to buy this ginseng, and only three people in the entire Qiao Mansion knew, one was me, one was the housekeeper of the vault, and the other was the fourth master himself, but we didn't know about Tianjimen, you said that this ginseng was just bought back for a day, and it was lost, and the fourth master didn't look for Tianjimen, who could he find?"
"I'm afraid these inferences alone are not convincing, right?"
Ma Xiaoyu always felt that there was something else he didn't know, maybe the sixth master didn't know.
"Hehe, Brother Ma is really a smart person, it is indeed not only these, just ten days after the ginseng was lost, one of the four masters' subordinates inadvertently discovered one thing, that is, the great elder of the Tianji Gate suddenly left the Tianji Gate with a child who had just turned one year old, this was a very common thing, the fourth master didn't think much about it, so he let people continue to monitor the Tianji Gate, what is strange is that since the big elder left, the Tianji Gate has been closed, no matter who goes, he will not open the door, which makes the fourth master start to be suspicious. ”
Ma Xiaoyu still couldn't hear what was going on here, but Ma Xiaoyu knew that the great elder and the one-year-old child that the sixth master said were Tianjizi and Jimo, but what does Tianjizi and Jimo have to do with this shameful ginseng?
"Brother Ma must think it's very strange, why did I make such a big detour, in fact, this ginseng was stolen by Tianjizi in the first place, as for the person who sent to steal the ginseng or what, then we don't know. ”
"No, why did Tianjizi steal the mountain ginseng? Isn't the mountain ginseng sold by Tianjimen to the fourth master?"
"Hehe, I couldn't figure it out at the time, but later, I found someone to check the child in Tianjizi's arms, and I suddenly realized. ”
"That child was born with a strange disease, but his physique is very suitable for cultivating the spell of Tianjimen, Tianjizi learned that when his senior brother was cultivating in Changbai Mountain, he found a wild ginseng, and wanted to take this ginseng and give it to the child, but the old man of Tianji rejected Tianjizi, because of the relationship of the environment, Tianjimen also suffered a great disaster, and many disciples in the door even had a problem with eating, he wanted to use this ginseng to change the fate of Tianjimen, and in the end, the old man of Tianji sold the ginseng to the fourth master. ”
After the sixth master finished speaking, he looked at Ma Xiaoyu, he knew very well that Ma Xiaoyu definitely understood the meaning of his words.
"Oh, no wonder Tianjizi wants to leave Tianji Gate, it turns out that this is the case, then why didn't the fourth master find Tianji Gate to get the gold back?"
"Hehe, you underestimate the fourth master too much, what he cares about is not gold, but face, he feels that he has been teased, so he has always held a grudge, if Tianjimen can say his difficulties openly and brightly, presumably the fourth master will definitely not stand idly by, but unfortunately, the people of Tianjimen are really not good. ”
"Sixth Master, have you found out what it was that stole the ginseng back then? Was it Tianjizi himself, or was it?"
Ma Xiaoyu was very curious about who could steal such a valuable thing from the heavily guarded Qiao family compound.
"Hehe, Brother Ma, you are also half a Taoist, I told you clearly, it is a fox demon, a fox demon who has become a spirit, and Tianjizi relied on the wild ginseng stolen by this fox demon. ”
After listening to the words of the sixth master, Ma Xiaoyu immediately thought in his heart, could it be related to the fox demon on Qiao Ren's body, and he must ask later.
"If that's the case, then the fourth master is indeed generous enough, it's been ten years, and I haven't seen the fourth master settle accounts with Tianjimen, if it weren't for Young Master Qiao Ren's illness, I'm afraid that the fourth master wouldn't want to deal with the people of Tianjimen anymore, right?"
"Yes, when I learned that the wild ginseng was stolen by Tianjizi, I wanted to take someone to Tianjimen to ask for an explanation, but I was stopped by the fourth master, the fourth master felt that it was best to leave a little leeway, so that if there are any difficulties in the future, it is better to find someone to help, plus the evidence is insufficient, the fourth master stopped this, but no one thought that it has only been ten years, and the fourth master's family has really had an accident, and I didn't expect that the fourth master went to Tianjimen in person, and these old bald donkeys refused to help, do you say that the fourth master is angry or not?"
When Qiao Liuye said this, there was a trace of fierce light in his eyes, but when Ma Xiaoyu looked at him, he immediately reined in.
Ma Xiaoyu was about to ask about Tianji Gate again, when he heard someone shouting outside:
"Sixth Master, Young Master Qiao Ren vomited a lot of dirty things again, and Madam asked Mr. Ma to hurry up and take a look. ”
When Ma Xiaoyu heard this, he quickly stood up to say goodbye to the sixth master, and then walked out of the room.
When he came to Qiao Ren's room, Ma Xiaoyu found that Qiao Ren's condition had worsened, and the yin qi on his body became more and more intense.
Ma Xiaoyu hurriedly invited everyone out, he wanted to ask the little fox what was going on.
"Come out, how did I tell you, you dare to play tricks on me, I'll beat you to death now, do you believe it or not?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoyu's words were finished, the cute little fox demon came out, and as soon as he got out, he looked at Ma Xiaoyu aggrievedly and said:
"Immortal, spare your life, I don't care about my business, I don't know what's going on, I feel that a strange force has penetrated into his body, and it is wantonly absorbing his yang energy. ”
The aggrieved appearance of the little fox demon made Ma Xiaoyu feel that maybe what she said was true, so he quickly stretched out his hand and put it on Qiao Ren's arm.
In fact, it wasn't a big deal, but Ma Xiaoyu felt that if he hadn't discovered it early, this Qiao Ren might really die, because there were more than a dozen wandering ghosts living in his body now.
Ma Xiaoyu also knows that these wandering ghosts have nothing to do with the little fox, this is because Qiao Ren's body is very weak, yin flourishes and yang declines, so the wild ghosts and ghosts around here take advantage of the weakness and want to get a piece of the pie, these wild ghosts and ghosts have no thinking, they don't know anything, they know that they are attached to people, absorb people's yang energy, and they are generally attached to sick people, because sick people, yang energy is generally weak.
