The cloudy light of the early morning soon filled this private room facing the street. The street outside the window was lively, and the bustling ghosts were going back and forth on the street.

The martial ghost doctor in the room stood up, and when he was about to say something, Hu Lan, who had already walked out of the private room, quickly disappeared in front of his eyes.

The martial ghost doctor wanted to speak and stopped, but he never said anything, nor did he follow, but just stunned and opened the half-hidden door in place.

After a long time, the two brocade-clothed human souls who had followed him into the city before walked out of the private room opposite the door and directly entered the private room where the martial ghost doctor was.

After closing the door, one of the souls said to the martial ghost doctor who was still stunned, "Good job, now go and bring the medicine and treatment equipment, and return to Shizhu City immediately." ”......

Xiao Shizhu's luxurious and gorgeous shrine, after leaving Duxi City, went all the way to the south, and went straight to Shizhu City and did not enter the city, but quietly stopped in the ancient temple in the mountains and forests outside the city.

The temple here was built ten miles east of the city, on the top of a high mountain surrounded by thousands of rocks, and was built on top of the huge rock on the top of the mountain.

The bluestone platform under the mountain gate falls 36 layers, and it is built on the huge rock with ancient style bricks, and is surrounded by 72 planes on the cylindrical round stone platform. A three-foot-high wall was built around the platform, similar in shape to the city wall. There are three main halls on the platform, and one hall in the east and west. There is a bronze statue of Nuwa and Fuxi in the main hall, which is about one zhang high, and the casting is exquisite.

Xiao Shizhu's shrine stopped directly in the purple square in front of the majestic main hall. So far, he has stopped here for five days, and Xiao Shizhu has no intention of leaving.

This place is not only a temple to worship the ancient gods, but also a stronghold of the local Xuanjiao branch.

The reason why Xiao Shizhu did not enter the city, but came here, is that the mountains here are high and dense, and it is not easy to expose his whereabouts. Second, the branch hall of Xuanjiao is safer than in the city. Third, this is how it will not disturb the people.

The prestige of Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother is too high in the Nine Shadows Kingdom. If you follow the gods into the city, you will definitely be welcomed by the people in the city, which is hundreds of times more exaggerated than picking up idols at the airport in the world.

At that time, half a day's work will be delayed, and the ghost people may have to come to welcome them, and they will waste a lot of military power to maintain law and order, and the people will lose money. Xiao Shizhu still has to deal with that enthusiasm, it is too tiring.

And he still has a lot of business to do, this kind of enthusiasm of the whole people, it is better to wait until he has nothing to do, and then enjoy the pride and pride it brings.

Xiao Shizhu, who had finished washing in the shrine, sat on the throne in the shrine hall and glanced at the corner not far away, lying on the soft cushion with big flowers.

At this time, both legs of Dahua's front legs were wrapped in bandages, and one of the dog's legs was also splinted.

Seeing this appearance, Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, and asked Dahua: "Next time in the mountains, do you dare to run around and jump around? This time I didn't fall you to death, but I broke a leg, which is considered your fate." ”。

Dahua opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue, wagging her tail when she looked at him. The spirit is not bad, and that little injury doesn't seem to be a big flower either.

It's just that it's been hurting for a hundred days, and it can't run around anymore.

"Ignore him, it's not like he asked you to chase that Lu Shu to make it like this!"

At the same time, the ghost mother who came out of the back bedroom glanced at her husband and said to Dahua: "When you are well, don't follow him to go crazy, you will follow me and ensure that you will not be hurt again." ”。

After that, he did the other phoenix pattern throne next to Xiao Shizhu.

But Dahua didn't seem to understand, tilted her head and looked at the couple in a daze. It likes to watch Xiao Shizhu and his wife bickering, although he doesn't understand it too well, but every time he looks at it, he is so focused.

"Don't say it, without our big flower injury, I don't have a reason to send that martial ghost doctor back to Yuque City first. Xiao Shizhu smiled disappretently, and said proudly: "Now, the martial ghost doctor has entered the city." It won't be long before he and Hu Lan will be connected. ”。

Xiao Shizhu said, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Then, he remembered the cotton ball that was infused with Xuan power, but it was his youngest daughter Xiao Fu's tea blood, and he couldn't help but smile even more.

He firmly believed that after seeing the normal blood on those cotton balls, Hu Lan would definitely believe that it was his ghost blood. Next, Hu Lan will definitely take action.

What exactly does Hu Lan want his ghost blood to do, he will soon be able to find out.

Thinking about playing fox lan like this, Xiao Shizhu was happy in his heart.

"Do you think Fox Lan will believe that it's your ghost blood?"

At this time, the ghost mother no longer quarreled with her husband, and asked thoughtfully with a solemn face.

And Dahua felt bored after seeing that they were not bickering, so she turned her body over slightly, lay on her side on the mat and closed her eyes and took a nap. The front leg with the splint on it is not pressed underneath.

The ghost mother's eyes were faintly worried, or was she afraid of such a fraud, what if she was discovered by Hu Lan?

"We shouldn't be worried, we're glad that the technology of the Yin Division has stagnated shortly after the old ghost ascended to the throne. Otherwise, only a DNA test is needed to detect the increase. Xiao Shizhu was full of confidence, and couldn't help but joke: "Now it's okay, the ghost blood is my daughter's and my soul's, and there is still my mystical power residue on it, there is no testing medicine for Hu Lan, if he can distinguish the true from the fake, I really don't want to kill him." ”。

After a pause, Xiao Shizhu smiled again: "You can rest assured, even if he puts the cotton ball in front of the old ghost of Xudu, he doesn't know if it's fake." I'm curious, what does this old ghost want my blood for?"

Seeing that he was so confident, the ghost mother temporarily put away her worries and felt at ease.

It's better to wait and see what happens, and rash actions will only startle the snake and make them peep at the leopard.

At this moment, Qinglan and Chenruo walked in. After the two ghosts brought in the breakfast of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, they placed them on the small table in the middle of the two thrones one by one.

This breakfast is very simple, nothing more than a few eggs and two bowls of millet porridge, some small pickles and a few scallion pancakes that are no more than the size of a palm.

The country's war and construction all cost money, and if you can save it, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and even Lai Yueqi's spending is frugal.

In Xiao Shizhu's words, as long as you eat enough and have enough nutrition, the money saved will be used on the blade.

Therefore, Xiao Shizhu's eating and drinking consumption basically does not pay attention to pomp.

The whole breakfast, that is, the utensils that are held, are gorgeous. All of them are fine jade, dishes carved from extremely complicated handicrafts, and chopsticks carved from green horns. But these cumbersome and delicate tableware were also made in the era of the ancient gods, and they have been kept in the treasury of the Yuque Palace.

It is not a new artifact ordered by Xiao Shizhu now.

Everything was laid out, and after serving the hot tea that had just been brewed, Chen Ruo left to prepare Dahua's breakfast. Qing Lan just stepped aside and stood still, and reported to Xiao Shizhu: "My lord, Lord Lin Cong of Xuanjiao has sent an urgent report, and the martial ghost doctor has secretly completed the connection with Hu Lan according to your request." And Fox Lan also took the bloody cotton ball you arranged to make. ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu answered, picked up his millet porridge with chopsticks, and began to eat.

The light millet porridge overflows with a unique fragrance and tastes good. Just smelling it, Xiao Shizhu also moved his index finger.

"What is the reaction of Hu Lan. Xiao Shizhu, who had just taken a bite, asked slightly vaguely while chewing the food in his mouth.

"Xuanjiao's return, Hu Lan has nothing abnormal for the time being, and has not found any clues. After getting the cotton ball, he said, 'He really, he really came back safely from the vast yellow spring, after killing a circle.' ’。 Na Qinglan thought back to the reply she received, and said everything that Xiao Shizhu had reported on the Xuanjiao without changing a word: "Then I also told the Martial Ghost Doctor that the commission will be sent to the Martial Ghost Doctor's house." Let the Martial Ghost Doctor forget about it, and Hu Lan and the Martial Ghost Doctor will no longer know each other from now on. No one has ever seen anyone. ”。

After a pause, Qing Lan said again: "Then Hu Lan went back to the mansion directly, and never left the mansion again." ”。

"Hmm. At this time, Xiao Shizhu, who had already eaten only half a bowl of millet porridge, put down the dishes and chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said, "Order Lin Cong to keep an eye on this fox who is pretending to be sick." If there is a slight abnormality in every move, you must report it to me as soon as possible. ”。

Xiao Shizhu guessed Hu Lan's purpose, and judging from the words that Hu Lan said in the report, Hu Lan seemed to be unable to believe that Xiao Shizhu really came back from the Yellow Spring unharmed.

Xiao Shizhu thought, didn't he know before that he would not be able to come back?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shizhu's mind quickly recalled those nine deaths in the Yellow Spring.

"Yes, Lord Lin Cong has done all this. A nodding Qinglan next to him said, "Please rest assured, my lord, he Hu Lan is visiting the kiln, and there are also Xuanjiao disciples secretly following." ”。

"That's good. Xiao Shizhu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Qinglan's side, and asked, "Is there anything else you want me to know immediately?"

"There is no more in Yuque City. After Qinglan recalled everything, she answered affirmatively.

"Then you can go and have breakfast. Xiao Shizhu picked up his dishes and chopsticks again.

But Qing Lan hadn't left yet, and stood where she was and said to Xiao Shizhu: "But there is news from Shuoyue Island, General Yingzhao reported this morning that the envoys sent by the Beiyin Dynasty will arrive on Shuoyue Island in three days. Everything was arranged as before, and the negotiations will take place as scheduled in three days. ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't seem to care about the affairs of Shuoyue Island anymore, but after humming something, he immediately asked again: "By the way, what about Ah San's side? Are you ready to use this to hype up the incompetence and weakness of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and the unrighteousness and helplessness?"

Hu Lan nodded a few times, and before she could speak, Xun Xiang walked in quickly, and after standing still in front of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, she saluted and said, "Lord, **, there is a new report from Shuoyue Island." ”。

With that, she hurriedly took out an unopened secret letter from her sleeve and offered it with both hands: "The urgent letter just sent by the flying car." ”。

Xiao Shizhu had to put down the dishes and chopsticks and took the letter.

The ghost mother saw that there was residue on the corner of his mouth, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, she picked up the plain towel and carefully wiped the corners of her husband's mouth clean.

After Xiao Shizhu opened the letter, he motioned to Xun Xiang to go down first.

After Xun Xiang left the shrine, Xiao Shizhu unfolded the letter in his hand and read it carefully.

After taking a closer look, Xiao Shizhu laughed.

His face was full of joy, and after a sudden smile, he put down the letter in his hand and shouted again and again: "Good, good, good." This time, I want to see if the Northern Yin Dynasty can raise its head at the negotiation table. ”。
