Chapter 13: The Demon Hidden at the Bottom of the Well

Previous Chapter

Lord Fuzun stroked his beard, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and looked at the housekeeper Xiang with a deep groan.

Xiang Rong saw the face of Lord Fuzun and knew that he was afraid that this matter would not be easy to handle today, and he couldn't control other people's mansions with a mere outer door manager.

Is it possible to achieve this?

"Since Xiang Steward insists on searching the Taoist temple, in fact, it is not impossible, the Qing person is self-purifying, the master and uncle were indeed drunk last night, our Taoist temple is not afraid of people to investigate, but the three Qing Taoist ancestors are above, what if you can't find anything?"

"Qingsong, stand down, there is no place for you to speak!" the master pulled me back and reprimanded.

"This is a problem, I'm afraid that if you don't search your mansion today, tomorrow there will be no peace in this Qin Shui Temple, I don't know what to say to the steward?"

"If you can't find out the clues, Xiang Jia is willing to offer five hundred taels of silver as sesame oil money for the Sanqing Dao Ancestor!" Xiang Rong replied without hesitation.

What is the concept of 500 taels of silver? A family of Dafeng people earns about 20 taels a year, which is a free family with three laborers.

For tenants, it is quite good to ensure that the whole family is fed and clothed a year, and to have a savings of two taels of silver.

And one of the outer door stewards of the Xiang family is five hundred taels of silver, and the Taoist people who keep the season think it is a bit incredible, when he was in the state capital Taoist temple, it was only two taels a month!

"Okay!

The clumsy Taoist looked at his little junior brother a little helplessly, he was a teenager than several other junior disciples, it can be said that he watched them grow up, and the old man could not break through the Dao Law for a long time, and a few days ago I heard that he was going to marry a wife, judging from this reaction, it should be true.

The master is just four disciples, alas, I'm afraid that the little junior disciple will really not be able to succeed like this.

"Slow, empty words, you say five hundred taels is five hundred taels? When the time comes, who will we go to if we don't admit it?"

Five hundred taels is not a small amount, don't be fooled by people's red mouth and white teeth.

"That is, you don't look like a descendant of the Xiang family, can you say five hundred taels?" Master gave me an appreciative look and said along the pole.

"It's just five hundred taels!" Xiang Rong took out a roll of silver tickets from his arms and shook it in front of his master.

Well, the denomination is one hundred taels, and there should be about a dozen of them in this volume, I stepped aside with satisfaction and looked at the Xiang family on the field with a smile.

"Since the two sides have reached an agreement, then search it, and this government will give you a witness. Seeing that the master did not come forward to stop him, Lord Fuzun expected that he acquiesced, so he simply did a favor and did not offend either side.

Xiang Rong counted out five silver tickets, handed them to the master, and led his subordinates to search Qin Shuiguan very boldly.

As a steward, he naturally has to bring silver when he goes out, and the family has a big business, and the right to steward is naturally great, and he really didn't look at it with a mere five hundred taels of silver, not to mention that he will find out the cat after a while, but no, he is not afraid of returning to the house without an explanation.

The courtyard of Qinshui Guan Sanjin, the front yard is naturally the main hall dedicated to the patriarch of the three Qing Dynasty, and there are two side halls, which enshrine the patriarch of Taoism, and the middle courtyard is mainly the living room, study and several side rooms for receiving guests, as for the backyard is the place where the Taoist people live in the view.

Normally, the master and I are in the view, but yesterday the room of the master and the armor guards was temporarily cleaned up.

It's strange that they can find out what kind of Taoist temple is like this, it's about silver tickets, and the master really has a heart, and took me to follow Xiang's family, as if he was afraid that they would frame him.

Seeing this, the master shook his head, and pulled the mansion to sit down in the courtyard, the tea utensils were ready-made, and the master of the mountain guard did my work, pouring tea and water for the two of them.

"What is the origin of that demon beast? It actually provoked the head of the Xiang family?" Shouzhuo is the senior brother of the master, and he grew up watching Shoushan and them, and the master is gone, so this line is respected by him.

"It's a five-grade pig dragon, and it has some means in the water, and I don't know the origin, oh yes, when I came back yesterday, the little nephew said that the eyes of the demon beast were scarlet. The second master kept the work in his hands, and replied carefully with a frown.

"Scarlet?" When Lord Fuzun heard this, the hand holding the teacup paused, and glanced at the clumsy Taoist with some meaning, only to find that the other party was also looking at him, and he couldn't help but be stunned again.

The two of them are one older, the other has been an official for many years, and their knowledge is naturally not comparable to that of a Taoist like the second master, and they immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Soon after the founding of Dafeng, they all walked through the war, and the demon beasts were not unseen, only those demon beasts that were blinded by killing would have scarlet eyes!

That's a little weird. This demon beast suddenly appeared in the always calm Qin Shui, although it hurt a few lives, but it was nothing to the demon beast, how could it be crazy to such a point?

Why did Xiang Jia track down this crazy demon beast? Could it be that there is something else wrong with it?

The master shook his head vaguely, signaling his old friend not to draw conclusions easily, the Xiang family of the royal family is not something that can be easily figured out.

"Hehe, come, come, come, let's have tea, and when Xiang is done searching home, we will go back to the state capital, the water here is not as good as the spring water in my yard. Lord Fuzun said with a haha.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Xiang family does not rebel, it is not something that he can move as a mansion, as early as when he went to office, the officials had an explanation, for the Xiang family, they must turn a blind eye and close one eye, and when necessary, they have to pretend to be blind and deaf.

Qin Shuiguan said that it was not big, but it was not small, and more than a dozen family members had completed the search before they had a stick of incense, and they had not even let go of the corners and corners, where were there any clues.

Xiang Rong had a gloomy face, knowing that his guess was wrong, but he was also single, hugged his fist at Lord Fuzun, said a word of interruption, and walked away with his subordinates, presumably looking for other clues.

Master watched Xiang family leave with joy and straightened his clothes, in fact, I knew that he was touching the silver ticket in his arms.

"Put away the silver ticket, Zhang Luo is going to marry a daughter-in-law, so that we can add a nephew!" Not only did I know, but the master also saw it, and said to the master angrily.

The master's old face turned red after a while, he was afraid of the senior brother, when he was a child, the master was merciful, and the matter of punishing the disciples was handed over to the big apprentice. In addition, the little caution in his heart was broken, and an old face naturally couldn't hang up, and he didn't dare to talk.

However, Lord Fuzun laughed and said that this is a good thing, why should the clumsy Taoist embarrass the junior brother, and when the time comes, let's come together to ask for a cup of wine.

The matter is over here, and the master sent the Fuzun and the two uncles out of the Taoist temple, and when I turned around, I heard the master muttering and knew that I was in charge of me, and I was a bachelor for a lifetime and said that I was still talking about me.

Secretly smiled, jokingly told the master that it is, the second master and uncle still have a meeting gift, and the master uncle didn't even look at me much, it's really stingy.

"Hey, you dare to orchestrate your master's uncle, you stinky boy!" the master was amused when he heard this, and pretended to fight. After a deep groan, he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and handed it over.

"You also have credit for this silver ticket, this one is for you, you can keep it, and use it for your daughter-in-law in the future, don't learn from your teachers and uncles, old singles. ”

To be honest, I was still a little moved when I looked at the silver ticket handed over by the Daoist Shouji, although I didn't usually treat him as a master, it's always a good thing to be remembered.

After some resignation, he took the silver ticket and pretended to be happy and put it in his arms.

It seems that I have to repay the favor and find a yellow flower girl for the master, thinking of this, I am a little embarrassed, just call a four-grade Taoist master, and then call a teenage woman a master?

Alas, let's ask for more blessings, I won't worry about you, master.

A bucket of water was brought up from the well, and by the perception of the psychic, he knew that Zhu Polong was lying quietly under the water.

Hmph, Xiangjia, I'm afraid you wouldn't have thought that the demon beast was in the inconspicuous well of the Taoist temple, right?!
