"Click......"

Shi Jian took a bite of the bright red melon pulp, and the full juice overflowed in his mouth, full of sweetness. The cold melon juice flowed down the throat into the stomach, and the chill spread to the whole body, instantly sweeping away the summer heat.

"Cool!"

Xiang Sheng was also eating melons, and when he heard Shi Jian's comfortable shout, he laughed and said: "You have too many ghost ideas, you actually take Maoshan Fubing watermelon, if your master knows, he will have to clean you up." ”

Shi Jianle said: "My master has done no less ridiculous things than me, fifty steps and a hundred steps, he won't care." ”

Xiang Sheng casually threw away the melon skin, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, picked up the cigarette pot and took a few puffs, and suddenly asked, "Guy, how long have you been in the water?" ”

"It's been ten months."

"Life flies so fast!" Xiang Sheng sighed with emotion and said to Shi Jian: "Next time you go, you go alone." ”

Shi Jian looked at Xiang Sheng in surprise, Mr. Walk asked the apprentice to go out alone, which represented that the master recognized the apprentice's skill in chasing corpses, and after this trip, the apprentice could leave the school.

"Why, don't you dare?" Xiang Sheng deliberately stirred up Shi Jian.

Shi Jian smiled and said, "Master Xiang, you don't need to provoke me, I have learned the corpse expulsion technique from you for ten months, and now there will be no problem for me to walk alone." ”

"Okay, I'll see."

Xiang Sheng took a beautiful puff of his cigarette, and the smoke from the puff made Shi Jian's face on the other side blur a little. Compared to ten months ago, this girl's skin has darkened, after all, the wind and sun are blowing every day. He has grown taller, his body is as strong as a calf, and his temperament is a little more mature. Only those eyes have not changed, they are still bright.

Recalling the experience of the past ten months, Xiang Sheng couldn't help but show a smile of satisfaction and relief on his face, Shi Jian was really too smart and talented.

With the foundation of Maoshan technique, learning corpse chases is a thousand miles a day, and it only took him one month to learn all the corpse chases.

Then it took another month to learn the thirty-six skills of driving out corpses, and from the third month, Shi Jian was already able to be a guide, and the skill of controlling dead corpses showed no traces of novices at all, which surprised Xiang Sheng.

After the fourth month, Xiang Sheng no longer taught him the thirty-six skills of driving out corpses, but taught him Zhu You's thirteen subjects and some walking experience.

"When I was young, I lost an apprentice who was like a parent, and in my old age, I got a talented heir, and God treated me well. In fact, Dao Chief, you don't owe me anything, but I owe you a favor. ”

"Ahem." Xiang Sheng smoked too hard, choking on the smoke and coughing violently.

Shi Jian kindly reminded: "Master Xiang, don't smoke or drink if you're not in good health." ”

Panting evenly, Xiang Sheng disagreed, and had his own words: "Son, if you don't take advantage of the time you are alive, it will be too late to go to the underworld when you die." ”

"To be honest, I don't really think there's any fun in smoking and drinking."

"You don't understand, you Taoist priests have no fun when they have pure hearts and few desires."

Shi Jian argued: "Master Xiang, you are one-sided, we cultivators go with the flow, seek the way of heaven, have their own pleasures, and never forcibly suppress their desires. Look at me, I am greedy, meatless, and I like beautiful women all the same. ”

Xiang Sheng asked curiously, "Yan'er, you Maoshan disciples are going to marry daughters-in-law?" ”

"The Maoshan faction belongs to the Zhengyi faction, and they can marry wives and have children, but the Quanzhen Dao is not good, and they must strictly abide by the rules and precepts."

"You're not too young, it's time to think about starting a family, do you have someone in mind? Would you like me to introduce you? ”

Shi Jian said embarrassedly: "I have been cultivating on Maoshan all the year round, and I don't have many girls in contact, and I don't have a favorite girl yet." ”

"I'll introduce you to a ......"

"Is it pretty?"

"You are a gentleman, your understanding of women is too superficial, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, and appearance is secondary......"

"That's because whoever marries a good wife can take a concubine."

"You...... Sling the bull. ”

"Master Xiang, let me ask you, is my wife beautiful?"

"Pretty and virtuous."

"Then why didn't you find someone who was virtuous and ugly?"

"Nonsense! Swear black is white.! Hopeless! Rotten wood cannot be carved! Xiang Sheng brushed his sleeves away.

On the front street of the county seat and at the entrance of the county office, cross-eyed hid behind the stone lion and looked around, with a hesitant look on his face.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked out of the county office and descended the steps to merge into the pedestrians on the street.

The cross-eyed heart was crossed, and he shouted loudly: "Lin Zhutou, please stay." ”

Lin Jiuying stopped, turned his head to look at the smiling and flattering cross-eyed, and frowned, "Who are you?" What do you want me to do? ”

Cross-eyed flattered: "Lin Zhutou, I'm the cross-eyed Adu of Shili Town, last time you came to Shili Town to arrest people, I also saw you." ”

Hearing the three words of Shili Town, Lin Jiuying's heart suddenly became angry, and he asked impatiently, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Borrow a step to speak."

Cross-eyed looked left and right, pulled Lin Jiuying to a more remote corner, and asked in a low voice: "Lin Zhutou, the wanted warrant says that as long as you provide clues about the murderer Zhang Daring, you can get a reward of three hundred taels of silver, is there still any silver?" ”

"Yes......" Lin Jiuying immediately reacted, grabbed his cross-eyed eyes and asked urgently: "Do you know where Zhang Daring is?" ”

Cross-eyed smiled: "Of course I know." ”

"Say it quickly."

"Lin catches the head." Cross-eyed stared at a pair of cross-eyed eyes with a lewd look.

Lin Jiuying snorted coldly: "Don't worry, as long as you help me catch Zhang Daring, I will definitely report to the county master truthfully and ask for credit for you." In addition, I will personally give you another fifty taels. ”

Dou cross-eyed's eyes lit up, he never expected such a surprise, and said excitedly: "Zhang Daring is hiding in Wanfu Yizhuang in Jiulijing, Lin Zhutou quickly take someone to catch it." ”

"Wanfu Yizhuang?" Lin Jiuying's face instantly turned cold, "The official officials have searched Wanfu Yizhuang, not to mention Zhang Daying's shadow, not even a single hair of him has been found." ”

"Eh, Lin Zhutou, don't go, what I said is true." Cross-eyed grabbed Lin Jiuying, and hurriedly said: "Today I helped send a coffin to Master Xiang to Wanfu Yizhuang, and I saw Zhang Daring in Wanfu Yizhuang......"

"Did you see his face with your own eyes?"

"Well, I didn't see his face, but I saw his back." Cross-eyed swore and said: "Lin Zhutou, you have to believe me, I have played with Zhang Daring since I was a child, and I am too familiar with him, that back, that big ass, I dare to guarantee that he must be Zhang Daring." ”

Seeing that the cross-eyed words were clear-sighted, Lin Jiuying was skeptical, but still decided to believe him once.

In fact, he also suspected that the surname Xu in Wanfu Yizhuang had something to do with Zhang Daring, the last time he pursued Zhang Daring, he was inexplicably cut by his subordinates, and he lay down for several months before recovering.

"Zhang Daring knows that I have accepted Master Tan's silver, and if this person is not removed, I will not be able to sleep and eat. There is also the death of Master Tan, said to be an accidental death in a fire, I think this matter is inseparable from Zhang Daring, Master Tan is very likely to be killed by him, although I escaped from my injuries in the county, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to seek revenge on me. ”

"The first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers."

"However, the surname Xu in Yizhuang is a bit evil, so he must be cautious, and when it gets dark, he will call a group of Yacha brothers to rush into Yizhuang and arrest him. Someone died in the chaos, but it had nothing to do with me. ”
