024 errands

In the next few days, the wind and waves were calm, and Xiaobai, who was hiding in the black jade bottle, was not discovered by anyone, even if he ran into Huazhen Daoist, the other party did not notice it at all, which made Wang Shen breathe a sigh of relief.

In this Qinzhou Mansion, except for Wang Shen and Daozheng, everyone is very busy, including Hua Zhendao people, who are also busy all day long. Dao Zheng is the disciple that Hua Zhen Dao people care about the most, and his talent is extremely high, and he was taken down the mountain by Hua Zhen Dao people mainly to scatter his mind and find an opportunity to break through the bottleneck of the eight veins, so he did not send him some miscellaneous things. And Wang Shen's situation also made Hua Zhen Daoist a little surprised, although he can use the spirit suppression technique, but he has no cultivation at all, if he is sent out to do things, he will inevitably have scruples, so he is also idle in the Yin Division and Dao Zheng The two of them stared at each other.

However, this boring day ended after five or six days, and on this day, Huazhen Daoist suddenly called Wang Shen and Daozheng in front of him.

Looking at the slightly solemn face of Hua Zhen Daoist in the room, Wang Shen guessed that this matter was not simple, and sure enough, Hua Zhen Daoren's next words surprised Wang Shen and Dao Zheng.

"Something happened to the Soul Attraction Pavilion in Liuxian, and three lamplighters disappeared one after another, and this matter has been reported to the Chief Deacon of the CD Mansion, and a master has been sent to investigate. However, this Liuxian County is within the territory of my Qinzhou Prefecture, so the CD Dao Chief Supervisor asked us to Qinzhou Zhiyin Division to also send people to cooperate in the investigation. I couldn't find the right person after thinking about it, and the division was relatively empty for the two of you, so I recommended you to go. ”

Dao Zheng was curious when he heard this: "Who did Uncle Huafeng send?"

"Gan Meng and Dao Liang. ”

The two names spoken by Hua Zhen Daoist surprised Dao Zheng, Wang Shen saw that he didn't speak with a bitter face, so he guessed that these two people didn't seem to be on the right path with Dao Zheng, and he also noticed that one of them was actually surnamed Gan, and most of the people with the surname Gan in CD Dao were the children of the powerful Gan family.

"Are we going straight to Liuxian?"

Wang Shen asked.

Hua Zhendao nodded and said, "Yes, you guys will set off now." Although Liuxian County is the boundary of Qinzhou, it is located in a remote area, and it will take two or three days to pass even if it is fast. ”

Hua Zhen Dao knew that Wang Shen was not good at foot strength, so he had already ordered someone to prepare a fast horse, but Dao Zheng could only rely on his own feet to hurry, but Wang Shen saw that Dao Zheng didn't seem to care at all about riding a horse or not riding a horse, and looked at him with a sad face, as if he didn't want to see the two people in Hua Zhen Dao's mouth.

The two said goodbye to Huazhen Taoist and set off directly, riding horses, covering their heads and hurrying, in order to be able to rush to Liuxian the next day, they prepared some dry food on the road, and did not stop to rest all day.

At night, the two finally arrived at a soul-attracting pavilion located between Liuxian County and Qinzhou Mansion, and the lamplighter in charge of the soul-attracting pavilion was also a disciple of Qingyang Palace.

This soul-attracting pavilion is not big, it is similar to the one outside Sanhe Township, there are a total of four lamplighters in the pavilion, all of them are in the pavilion at the moment. When Wang Shen and Daozheng arrived, there was a large iron pot on the fire in the hall, and a pot of red soup was boiling in it.

"Come on, Uncle Xiaoshi, drink a bowl of boiling soup to get rid of the cold first. ”

The disciple of Qingyang Palace in charge is about thirty years old, but he still has to call Dao Zheng, who is only half his age, as his uncle, and Dao Zheng is also an elder, so he just nodded lightly and took the thick soup served by the other party.

The so-called 100 boiling soup is a custom of the various sizes of the soul pavilion under the Yin Division, and at night, a large pot of 100 boiling soup will be boiled in the soul pavilion, and this soup is also extremely rich, chicken, chicken blood, donkey meat, snake meat...... Anyway, whatever meat can be found nearby, throw it in and cook it, then add wolfberry, chili, cinnamon and other ingredients, cook for a few hours, and then drink it when it is completely rotten.

Because the lamplighter is forbidden to drink, and he has to be on duty all night, so this 100-boiling soup is the best supper, which is filled with chili peppers, chicken blood, duck blood and other ingredients, which not only has a rich taste and fragrance, but also can flourish qi and blood, drive away dampness and cold, and the key is to fill the stomach.

Wang Shen also tasted this hundred boiling soup for the first time, before his master and apprentice never followed the ordinary rules of the Soul Attraction Pavilion, and no one cared about the poor countryside, as long as he was responsible for the soul collection duties of the three townships, no one would come to ask about their lives.

While a few people were sitting idlely, the four people in this pavilion seemed to know the correct temper, and they drank the soup by themselves, and they didn't dare to talk much, but Wang Shen was a talker, and after introducing each other, they began to inquire about the affairs of Liuxian.

"It turns out that you and Uncle Xiao were sent to Liuxian? ”

"Well, at this rate, we can get to Liuxian tomorrow. But the younger brother is more curious, what happened in this Liu County, there are actually three lamplighters missing?"

When asked this, the four of them looked a little speechless, they looked at Daozheng's face, and found that he was just sitting next to him drinking soup, and he was not interested in their conversation at all before they began to talk nonsense.

"I heard that all three of them had disappeared in the same village. ”

"No, the village is very remote, and it is said that it is close to the forbidden area. Hey, Naliu County is too, there are only a dozen families in this village, why don't you let them move out. ”

"Who knows, nothing has happened before. Even recently, there have been a lot of things going on in our neighborhood. Do you remember that the son of the woodcutter who disappeared last month has not come back until now, and most of them are afraid that he has also entered the mountain forbidden area and had an accident. ”

Wang Shen was surprised and asked, "What is the mountain ban?"

"The mountain ban is the forbidden mountain, this Qinzhou boundary is the mountain, there are many things hidden in many deep mountains and old forests, we can't grasp the Yin Division, as early as a hundred years ago, the Spring and Autumn Mansion put many places in my country into the mountain forbidden area. Then, the prefectures and counties are responsible for moving out the people in the forbidden areas of the mountain, in case something happens, and the local government is not yet aware of it. Hey, in fact, those forbidden places are basically barren mountains and forests that no one has set foot in, and if they are banned, everyone is relieved, those people just have a long life, so they have to live there. I said, Brother Wang, you don't even know this, do you?"

"Ahh......h I thought you were talking about something. ”

Wang Shen snorted.

"But don't really say it, there's been a lot of mess lately. As far as I know, several of my brothers and sisters who live elsewhere have also encountered a lot of strange things. Either there are living people who have an accident, or they see signs of ghost activity. I don't think there will be any manpower on the CD Mansion side this time, otherwise I wouldn't have transferred the two of you from the Qinzhou Mansion. By the way, Brother Wang, what did you do before?"

"I used to be in Mengxian County, and I was also a lamplighter. ”

"Mengxian? I know this place, and there is a Sanhe Township there, I heard that it has not been peaceful recently, and there are three Tongmen who have just come down the mountain, and one of them is said to be very frightened. However, Meng County is also a big county, and there is a Yin Division over there, and the two uncles in the sect were sent over to deal with it. ”

Wang Shen couldn't help frowning when he heard this, secretly thinking about how something happened not long after he left, you must know that he had never encountered anything strange in the soul he had been there for five years.

A few people chatted about a pot of hot soup for most of the hour before they went to rest, and the four people in the pavilion had to be on duty in shifts, and now it was an eventful autumn, and they had to cheer up. And Wang Shen and Daozheng slept until dawn, and then said goodbye to a few people and continued to rush in the direction of Liuxian.

On the way, Wang Shen couldn't help it, so he asked curiously: "I said Xiaozheng, if you don't say a word along the way, you know that you are hurrying with your head stuffy, what is the origin of those two people from CD Mansion?"

"What else can I do, they are all my disciples under Uncle Huafeng, I have to call Senior Brother. ”

"Why don't you just shout senior brother, according to your age, I think the people in Qingyang Palace are all your senior brothers, right?"

"Hey, you don't understand, those two aren't good stubbles anyway. ”

Daozheng was visibly a little upset.

Wang Shen asked: "I said Xiaozheng, I also have to meet and greet the two of them this time, you can also reveal a little bit of the situation, let me be prepared." If it's really a difficult master, I'll just hide from it. ”

Daozheng thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen sparrows and wild boars?"

Wang Shen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've seen it, what's wrong?"

"You say that if a sparrow chirps at you all day long, isn't it annoying?"

"This ...... It's really noisy. ”

"Well, Dao Liang is such a person. ”

"Huh, what happened to the boar?"

"Wild boar, stupid! Brainless, eight cows can't pull back when they find the right direction. This Ganmeng is stupid by nature, he will do it if he disagrees with anyone, and he will never stop if he doesn't fight the other party who can't get up at all. ”

The Tao is hating the Tao.

Wang Shen saw him looking annoyed, and couldn't help but joke: "You're not his opponent?"

Dao Zheng was immediately deflated when he heard this, shook his head and said: "These two people are the proud disciples of my Huafeng master, and they were Xiao Zhou Tian's cultivation two years ago, and I can't beat any of them." ”

"Hmm, you're still one step away from Xiao Zhoutian, no wonder the two of them don't invite you to see you...... I see. ”

Wang Shen said suddenly.

Dao Zheng suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "I said Lao Wang, didn't you say that your soul suppression technique is also useful for the living? Why don't you help me secretly suppress the two of them, and I will knock them out from behind and clean them up, and I don't know it, what do you think?"

Wang Shen waved his hand again and again: "Don't be, how do I know if my spirit technique is useful to people in the Xiao Zhou Tian realm, or if you let me try it on you first?"

"Huh? ”

Daozheng regained his previous listless and dejected appearance.

There was nothing to say all the way, until it was about to get dark, and the two finally arrived at the boundary of Liuxian County.
