Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Black Cat
After some arguments, near evening, everyone finally dispersed, and Lu Fan was invited by the village chief to his home as a guest.
After Ma Yong sent someone to move Qin Xueye back to the room, he walked alone under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village and pondered secretly.
Xiao Ye's stomach was pierced, it was a good thing that he was lucky enough to survive, it stands to reason that he should be grateful to that Lu Shenxian, but for some reason, Ma Yong always felt that this Lu Fan was of unknown origin and quite suspicious.
Indeed, his means are extraordinary, and he can easily help Xue Ye stop the bleeding with those medicinal powders, and he looks like an immortal.
But Ma Yong has been observing the other party's words and deeds, and feels that this person is not as kind as he shows.
Now there are a lot of troubles in Huaiyang Village, the people in the village can't get out for some reason, the people outside can't get in, and there are demons hiding in the shadows, these things are very urgent and should be solved as soon as possible, but Lu Fan is not in a hurry, it is easy to open and close his mouth, and as soon as the conversation turned, he immediately asked Su Lin again.
The more Ma Yong thought about the other party's previous behavior, the more he felt that the other party had no intention of helping them solve the demons at all, and was just here to find Su Lin.
And the most suspicious thing was that he smelled a faint smell of corpses from the young man.
He has been dealing with corpses for so many years, he is very familiar with this smell, and he will never smell wrong, although it is extremely light, but Lu Fan does have a corpse smell on his body, and he should have approached the more seriously decomposed corpse not long ago.
Within a radius of ten miles, there is probably only Yizhuang where there are such corpses, and the other party is likely to have been to Yizhuang.
Xiaoye said that Su Lin went to Yizhuang to catch the demon, he believed that with Su Lin's intelligence, he would not make a mistake, and the demon should be in Yizhuang, but this Lu Fan went to Yizhuang, and he didn't mention Su Lin, and he didn't mention the demon, what does this mean?
Eccentric.
It's really weird.
"Meow~~"
A long cat bark came from the old locust tree, and Ma Yong looked up and found that the black cat had been squatting on the branch, and the golden cat eyes were staring at him.
In the next second, the black cat jumped from the tree and landed lightly.
It arched its back in front of Ma Yong, its body stretched and expanded, the black hair seemed to melt together, turning into the texture of paint, and finally the melted fur gradually solidified and softened, transforming into an ink-style outfit.
The cat's body gradually took on the form of a human, she threw her neck back, and a heroic woman appeared in front of Ma Yong.
The other party's sword eyebrows are starry, the bridge of the nose is high, and the squinted eyes have a hint of coldness.
Before Ma Yong could react from the shock, the other party took out a gold token and held it up in front of Ma Yong.
The token is hooked by nine dragons, the carving is complex and exquisite, and there are four words written in the middle "Zhenwu Shangyu".
Zhenwu is the name of the reign of Zhu Jiuqin, the Taizu of Great Xia, and the word Shangyu means edict, the emperor's order, and the one who holds this token is the minister sent by the emperor himself!
Of course, after Zhu Minben ascended the throne, he changed his name to Shangwen, so the minister in front of him followed the orders of Emperor Taizu, who had died, and came here?
No, this guy is a becoming! She's not human!
…… But this token is indeed genuine, and just by seeing this carving, you know that this token can never be faked.
Oops, when you see the token like the emperor in person, you should bow down!
Ma Yong was about to kneel, but the woman spoke.
"You don't need to bow down, you need to take a step to speak." Lu Zhuyu glanced at Ma Yong and walked into the forest outside the village.
"The adults have come here from afar, what do you want to tell the villains?" Ma Yong asked respectfully.
On the way over, Ma Yong had already thought about it, although the other party had changed from a cat to a human, it didn't mean that she was a demon, seeing that this woman was extraordinary, and her eyebrows were full of nobility, the means by which the cat turned into a human should be the monk's magic power, not the demon's magic method.
This Lord Qincha should be an immortal cultivator like Lu Fan.
As soon as he thought of this, Ma Yong was a little depressed in his heart, and said that since Emperor Taizu knew about the existence of immortal cultivators, and even issued a royal decree to immortal cultivators, he must also know that there are demons in this world.
Since Emperor Taizu knew that there were immortals and demons in this world, why did he tell the world to get rid of superstition?
Lu Zhuyu: "You can't tell anyone what I told you. ”
"It's natural, the villain still understands this."
"What's the name of the guy you saw earlier?"
"My lord, are you talking about Lu Fan? He claimed to be a cultivator of immortals, and he came here to find immortals. ”
"Immortals? What is the name of the immortal? ”
"Uh...... Su Lin. Ma Yong hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth.
Lu Zhuyu nodded suddenly in realization: "It turned out to be him." ”
She groaned for a while, and said bluntly: "Ma Zhutou, I don't want you to do much, you have to think of a way tonight, when the monk rests in the evening, call everyone in Huaiyang Village out of the village, go to the neighboring village to rest for a while, and come back tomorrow at noon." ”
"It's easy to do!"
"No, it's actually not easy to do, you can't mention me to anyone, you can't make the villagers suspicious, and you can't let the demon consciousness called Lu Fan cultivate, you have to think of your own reasons.
This matter must be done before the third watch, otherwise, the people of Huaiyang Village may be affected. Lu Zhuyu said.
Cold sweat flowed down Ma Yong's forehead, and he suddenly felt that this task was almost impossible to complete.
If he wants to mobilize the whole village without alarming Lu Fan, it is already difficult to ascend to the sky, not to mention that he can't mention Qincha, what reason does this make him use?
Ma Yong pursed his lips, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the villain can't do this, but the villain can let Lu Fan leave Huaiyang Village alone!" Go to the place you designated, I don't know if this method is possible? ”
Lu Zhuyu frowned, puzzled: "How did you let him leave Huaiyang Village alone?" ”
"He has been looking for Su Lin, but Su Lin has not returned, and I can use this reason to lure him out of the village."
Lu Zhuyu bowed slightly: "This is better, when I am ready, I will appear in front of you in the form of a black cat, and then you will ask him to go to the cave ten miles south of the village to find Su Lin."
After Lu Fan leaves, you can leave with the villagers, walk in the direction of Pingshan City, and when you pass by Xiqiu Village, remember to put on all the people in Xiqiu Village. ”
After speaking, Lu Zhuyu took out an official seal and a piece of paper from the pouch on his waist and knocked them on the paper.
"It's up to you how you write the paperwork, anyway, you have to get all the people from the two villages to leave the village.
After that, you take them to Pingshan Castle, and after you hit the wall, you sprinkle the powder I gave you in a jar of water, and everyone takes it by mouth, and then they fall asleep.
When you wake up, you'll be at Hirayama Castle. ”
Lu Zhuyu said, took out the celadon medicine bottle and handed it to Ma Yong, reminding: "Don't make a mistake about this step." ”
"The villain understands!" Ma Yong nodded vigorously in agreement.
Lu Zhuyu nodded, didn't say anything more, jumped over, re-transformed into a black cat in the air, and disappeared into the depths of the woods like a ghost in a few vigorous jumps.
