"O daughter! You're scared to death! Zhao Yuanwai, who was dressed in dust, hugged Zhao Ruyi as soon as he entered the house, crying earth-shatteringly.

"I didn't dare to tell your mother, if something happens to you, what will we do with the old couple! Daughter......"

Zhao Ruyi was hugged to death, so he could only pat his father on the back while smiling awkwardly at Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi.

Zhao Eryuanwai and Zhao Yuanwai look similar, but they are a little whiter and fatter, as for Ma Jing's father and him, they are all carved out of the same mold, they are all the same five big and three thick, that is, the beard is longer.

At this time, the two were also persuading on the side, "Fortunately, my niece is fine" and "Okay, okay" persuaded Zhao Yuanwai.

"What was going on, how were those bandits killed?"

Zhao Ruyi said: "It was ...... at that time"

Liang Wenxin said: "At that time, we all fainted, and when we woke up, we saw dead bodies all over the place, and we didn't see Zhao Yuanwai, so we were taken all the way here by the carriage." ”

Master Ma asked, "Who are these two?" Liang Wenxin wore a veil, but he didn't look at it directly.

Without the help of others, Ma Jing returned on his behalf: "These two are miracle doctors invited by the Zhao family, and they really have the ability." After a little introduction, he asked, "But a monk with a hat made a move?" ”

Chen Muzhi and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all shook their heads.

Seeing that others were puzzled, Ma Jing said: "Recently, the boundary of this area is not very peaceful, and there are cases of disappearance of women from good families everywhere, but there have also been several robberies, and there are rumors that they were rescued by a monk with a hat. ”

Master Ma whispered, "What about the Red Stone Temple? ”

"I sent someone from above to check it, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. And because the world is not peaceful and the yamen is short of manpower, the Shangguan asked the military department to send people to inspect, and then this work fell on me, so that I couldn't sleep for a few days, alas. ”

Ma Jing explained the situation to his father with an embarrassed face, although he was quiet, but a person who cultivates the truth has a sensitive hearing, and at such a close distance, he can't escape Chen Muzhi's ears at all.

That Zhao Yuanwai had calmed down at this time, and seeing that Zhao Ruyi was fine, he didn't stay anymore, and set off directly back to Beiyang City.

This way hugged back and forth, and at noon, he arrived at Beiyang City.

Zhao Yuanwai and Zhao Ruyi were in a car, the father and daughter were talking, and Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin were in a car.

Gently lifting the corner of the car curtain, there is a circle of city walls more than two zhang high outside Beiyang City, although it is also simple and imposing, but compared to the kind of Muji City, the city wall is full of smelting stones, which is far behind.

Chen Muzhi whispered: "It's the first time I've come to the mortal city. ”

"That's because we cultivators concentrate on cultivation and have little contact with the mundane. Generally, after the age of thirty, the avenue is hopeless, and it may be possible to run to this mundane world. Liang Wenxin also leaned over the curtain of the car and took a look, and saw the shops, restaurants, and pedestrians on the street, all kinds of people, shoulder to shoulder. The voices of shouting, bargaining, and striking iron came and went, and he smiled slightly: "The world of flowers is also very lively." ”

Turning his head to stare at Chen Muzhi's face, he asked with a smile, "Why didn't you ask me why I said that someone else saved me?" ”

"Master probably doesn't want to cause trouble for me, right?"

Liang Wenxin's hand touched Chen Muzhi's hair gently: "How can you be so smart at such a young age?" When I heard about the disappearance of those women, I can tell you're feeling a little fluctuating too. ”

"I'm thinking, if I have the strength, I must save people and catch those bad guys!"

"How can I save it? Find a place to squat every day and then see the bad guys rush in? How long will it take? One month? Or three months? The stories described in the book often involve heroes when they get off the mountain, save people, and seize treasures, but on the road of cultivation, these are very few. ”

"And if you see it?"

"If we see it, we will definitely make a move, this is called fate, if there is a benefit, it is called chance. But I still hope that you will protect yourself on the premise. Those who cultivate the truth are not here to save the world, but the most important thing is to practice for longevity. ”

"Hmm." Chen Muzhi nodded heavily, but he thought of the sentence "There are injustices in the world, and all living beings are suffering", when I practiced on the mountain before, I didn't think that every day was to collect medicine, practice, and draw talismans, so the owner of Qingliu Mountain was worried about bad business all day long.

After coming down the mountain, he met with the Shuramen monk he met with Liang Siyan, the killing ring by Yang Hu on the beast boat, the evil disease in Qijia Village, the horse bandit who committed murder halfway, and the woman who was taken captive...... There are too many evil deeds in the world, and there are even more places that have not been encountered. Ordinary people can't do anything, but what can a cultivator do?

I suddenly thought of the hand-copied sentence I saw in the "Taiyi Thunder Book": "To be a hundred Buddha Temple, it is better to live alone." Slaying demons and destroying demons, King Kong's angry eyes are also great compassion. Chen Muzhi rubbed the storage bag, looked at the crowd coming and going from outside Beiyang City, and after thinking about it, his heart was more eager for strength than before.

At this moment, a line of golden yellow descended from the gap in the clouds on the horizon, and quietly shone on his carriage, sprinkling a piece of brilliance.

"Huh?"

On the roof tiles of a tall building on the side of the street, a young monk who was meditating slowly opened his eyes.

……

In addition to Zhao Erren, there were other shops to deal with, so he left first. Chen Muzhi and their carriage continued along the smooth street to the south of the city.

After a short time, they came to a high-gate compound, where the courtyard was prominent and there were no idle vendors. Pieces of flat bluestone slabs, in this prosperous, every inch of land in Beiyang City, paved out a large square.

At this time, there were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages parked on one side of the square, and a high platform more than one person high was being erected with thick wooden stakes in the center, presumably to hold a "contest to recruit relatives" in the future.

Outside the gate, two stone lions one foot high, carved lifelike, guard both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate. The copper nails on the door are shining, and the plaque on the top of the door "Zhao Mansion" is hung high, and the end is magnificent.

The people outside the door went to the inner courtyard to report while they stepped forward to hold the carriage.

"Then Zhao Yuanwai, since we have arrived safely, then the dog and I will go back first." Master Ma said aloud.

"Huh! This time, thanks to Master Ma and the virtuous nephew, the little girl was able to return safely. How can there be a reason to turn around and go back to the door of the house, be sure to go to the house to talk, and it's not too late to have a light meal and leave! Zhao Yuanwai took Zhao Ruyi out of the car to thank him.

"Busy with official business, busy with official business, come to the door another day to disturb, hehe."

Ma Jing waved his hand on the horse and said, "Sister Zhao, wait for me to come back in the ring!" ”

Bidding farewell to the Ma family's father and son, Zhao Ruyi sulked in annoyance, saw Chen Muzhi and Liang Wenxin get out of the car, and hurriedly greeted them.

"Sister Liang, little divine doctor, let's go!"

Led by Zhao Ruyi, the two stepped into the mansion. After the two courtyards, along the nine-curved corridor, it is really a garden, a wide courtyard, a green pond in the middle, there is also a plank road for walking, there are some water birds and koi fish wandering in the pond, and on one side of the pond is a rockery and strange stones piled up into a hill, and there is a small pavilion on it.

From the side of the rockery, follow the path paved with white stones, turn the small bridge and water, and pass through an arch to enter the inner courtyard.

High pink wall, blue-black bluestone pavement, spring season, birds and flowers in the courtyard, several small buildings are chic and exquisite, staggered, next to each planted some strange flowers and plants, this is the season of flowers, it is simply beautiful like a fairyland.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Even Liang Wenxin praised it loudly.

Chen Muzhi thought of Liang Wenxin's thatched cottage, which was indeed one in the sky and one underground, and thought to himself: "I don't know what happened to the little black cat in the cottage, I was in a hurry at that time, and I didn't ask someone to take care of it." ”

Zhao Ruyi said: "These flowers and plants are planted by my grandmother, and she has always liked to plant flowers and grass. ”

"Coming back? You didn't encounter anything on the way, did you? How" entered the inner courtyard, and was greeted by a group of women, led by a beautifully dressed woman, followed by some maids in blue cloth skirts, standing on both sides.

Pulled Zhao Ruyi over and looked at it carefully, "How did you get dirty?" Where did you stay last night? ”

Zhao Ruyi seemed to be more afraid of his mother than Zhao Yuanwai, and replied, "In the woods." ”

"In the woods? What's going on? He looked back at Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi, "Who are these two?" ”

"The miracle doctor who was invited back from Qijia Village."

Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi bowed slightly with Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao also saw the salute, turned back to the maid and said, "You go and prepare things for the young lady and the distinguished guests to change clothes and bathe." ”

"Yes." His own maid went down and prepared.

Zhao Yuanwai said: "This is not in a hurry in advance, how is my mother?" ”

Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "It's still the same, but now I sleep longer." ”

Zhao Yuanwai turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Liang Wenxin, and said, "Please go this way." Then he led the group to the largest house in the backyard.

The house here is in the best place of feng shui in the courtyard, the sun is shining, the wind is warm, and the house is painted with vermilion lacquer, which is also gorgeous. But when Liang Wenxin and Chen Muzhi arrived not far from the house, they both frowned and looked at each other in unison, and the room was filled with a black gas at this time.

I don't know the source of this black gas, looking at Zhao Ruyi, they are all different, I think mortals can't see it.

Liang Wenxin said softly to Chen Muzhi: "Be careful." "Follow Zhao Yuanwai and they into the house together.

The room was spacious and bright, and there were some maids standing, and through the beaded curtains, I saw an old woman with gray hair lying on the beautifully carved wooden bed, her eyes were open at this time, and she could no longer speak, and the Yin Tang was black, and it was obvious that the black gas had entered her body, and the black gas in the room was emitting from the top of her head.

"Doctor, take a look." Zhao Yuanwai retreated from the left and right people, and asked Liang Wenxin to heal.

Liang Wenxin stretched out his jade hand and put it on the old lady's wrist, and after a while, the two beautiful eyebrows frowned together, and said: "The old lady's pulse is already very weak, the qi and blood are weak, and the external evil enters the body, this is a poison!" ”

"Who poisoned it?" The crowd shouted.

"It's said it's poison, or rather, it's voodoo, Muzhi, do you remember the stone platform where the spirit stone bought people's heads in Muji City? It is also a curse that putting a person's name and blood, or hair, in a ritual vessel can cut off the person's luck. ”

"Of course I do."

"But this thing doesn't have much effect on people who cultivate the truth, strength is the root of everything, and these cursed things will have sense. Powerful monks, just go directly to break the curse; And against the weak, you don't need to go through such a lot of trouble......"

"Please Immortal Master, save my mother!" Zhao Yuanwai stopped shouting at this time, and knelt directly on the ground to beg.
