"Squeak~~"

The sound of the wooden door hinge is long.

There was a man standing outside, about thirty years old, dressed in soapy clothes and soap boots, although he did not carry an iron ruler and a long knife, but he could also see that he was catching heads quickly. But at this time, his hands were full of gifts, and he also had a smile on his face.

"I've seen you, sir."

"Team leader, this is ......"

"Oh, in Xia Luojun, just live in the door diagonally opposite the door." Luo Zhutou said with a smile, "I have long heard that we have a new master in Sweetwater Lane, but I haven't spared time to visit, forgive me." ”

"I can't afford it."

"I don't know ......"

"Luo Bantou, please come in."

Song You hurriedly invited Luo Zhutou in.

Dayan is a system of liuguan, the chief officials are frequently transferred, and most of the actual power in a place is in the hands of the small officials below, which cannot be neglected.

Among them, the capture is a military position, but it is closely related to the people's livelihood, and it represents the official face, and often deals with the people in the rivers and lakes, which can be described as black and white. Moreover, Dayan's arrest is likely to be hereditary, and the power of a generation of big relations is passed down, which is very difficult to provoke in the local area.

Luo Yi was very respectful to Song You at this time, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he put the gifts he brought on the stone table.

There is a good wine brewed by Tianxinlou, brown sugar from Jiuhe County, cloth from Hejiazhuang, and a set of tea sets, which can be seen to be painstaking.

"Luo should have come to visit a long time ago, but he has been busy arresting thieves recently, and he has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground." Luo Zhutou saluted with his free hand, "I had time to visit Mr. yesterday afternoon, but by chance, Mr. happened to go out." ”

"How can you deserve such a big gift from the head of the class?"

Song You looked at these gifts and frowned.

"Mr. is a master, so he naturally deserves it." Without waiting for Song You to speak, Luo Zhutou said again, "It's not a secret, when Luo arrived yesterday, I happened to meet a tea merchant from Wushan County who also came to visit Mr., and after talking, I heard that the master who cut off the fog ghost on Jinyang Road turned out to be Mr. ......."

"Just do it."

"Mr. eliminates harm for the people but does not seek fame and fortune, Luo really admires, and he should give Mr. a salute." Luo Zhutou said and saluted Song You again.

"That's so polite."

Song You only showed helplessness on his face.

This kind of atmosphere in Dayan society is very heavy, no matter who speaks, they are polite and polite.

For example, the dart master surnamed Chen is not a dart head, but ordinary people call him a dart head, for example, Song You didn't know whether Luo Zhutou was catching fast or catching heads at first, but he also opened his mouth to be a team leader, and for example, ordinary people spoke, they were extremely polite, Song You didn't know whether he was used to it or not, in short, he didn't like it.

Fortunately, Luo Zhutou is also a delicate person, and he doesn't know where he sees this, most of the masters like Mr. don't like these twists and turns.

I'm afraid that I can still win a little favor if I am more direct.

"To tell you the truth, Luo came this time, in addition to visiting his neighbors, he also wanted to ask Mr. for advice."

"Luo Bantou doesn't need to be polite, just say it bluntly."

"It's a long story."

Luo Zhutou sighed:

"In the past year or two, there have been frequent robberies in Yidu City, and the things stolen by the thieves are all treasures in the nobles' mansions, and even stolen to the head of Lord Zhizhou. The adults in the city were furious and ordered us to arrest him immediately, but we tried our best, but we still couldn't catch any trace of the thieves, and even the people in the city once rumored that they were ghosts who committed crimes. It wasn't until a few months ago that we finally saw the true face of the thief, and finally knew how the thief sneaked into the noble mansion to commit a crime and escape our tracking. ”

"Will the thief fly away?"

"Sir, you've heard of it too?"

"I've seen it at the gates."

Song You remembered that when he came, he saw the wanted warrant of a refuge thief at the city gate.

"It's the thief! Although the thief can't fly, he doesn't know where he came from! Luo Zhutou said, looking at Song You, "I wonder if Mr. knows anything about the method of escaping?" ”

"Somewhat understood."

"Really?"

Luo Zhutou said subconsciously.

When the words landed, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "In the past few days, the thief who escaped from the ground has not been caught for a long time, and the adults in the city have already issued an ultimatum, but we have no way to deal with him." Several times a trap was set up, but the thief was timid, cunning and suspicious, and he didn't go into the trap when he arrived, and even the thief stood not far away the day before yesterday and mocked us......

"And don't hide it, Mr.,I also went to ask the master of Tai'an Temple for advice.,But ......"

Luo Zhutou didn't finish his words and shook his head.

"What did the master of Tai'an Temple come up with?" Song You suddenly became a little curious.

"Master Guanghong of Tai'an Temple said, let's dig a circle of pits and bury dung, but we can break the thief's escape technique." Luo Zhutou said and smiled helplessly.

"It may be useful for some people who are not good at learning."

"So, Master Guanghong didn't coax me?"

"There has always been a saying that filth and law are broken, maybe that mage is just looking at the head of the team, and he is not sure in his own heart."

"Luo thinks the same way."

After Luo Zhutou finished speaking, he looked at Song You again: "Sir, is there any other way?" If there is a gentleman who helps and captures the thief, Luo promised to Mr. that he will not only persuade the county magistrate to regard him as if he caught the thief, but also give the full bounty, and there will be additional gratitude. ”

"Listen to the head of the class, that thief is a timid and suspicious character?"

"This is Luo's personal judgment."

"The team leader is very experienced, and you can't go wrong with it."

"I wonder what this has to do with catching that thief?"

"The team leader doesn't know, this retreat technique is the same as the wall piercing technique, there is a particularity, that is, when casting the technique, you must be convinced of the success of the escape method. If the caster himself has doubts and apprehensions, he may suffocate himself in the earth or seal himself against the wall. Song You said, "So since ancient times, people who have learned the technique of penetrating walls and escaping the ground are either firm and courageous, or stupid and idiot. ”

Song You really knew about this art of retreat.

Fu Longguan has a complete range of techniques for retreating and piercing through walls, and even he knows the principles of these two spells very well, but he doesn't know these two spells.

The truth that if you believe it, you don't believe it, and if you believe it, you will be strong, and if you believe it, you will be weak, and if you believe it, you will be strong, and if you believe it, you will be weak, but the wall penetration technique itself is flawed - its flaw is that no matter how well you learn it and use it well, it will always have a probability of failure, just a high or low probability.

You have worked hard for half your life, and you can only reduce this probability a little.

This contradicts the aforementioned statement that "the caster must be convinced of success".

Therefore, since ancient times, few cultivators have mastered these two spells - the more they understand it, the more they know its flaws, the more inevitably their hearts will be shaken when they cast it, thus magnifying its probability of failure, and even forming a vicious circle.

Most of the people who use it are young people.

Luo Zhutou frowned after hearing this.

"Over the past few days, Luo has also met with the thief several times, but only because he knows how to escape from the ground, he let him run away every time. Moreover, Luo already knew where his family lived last month, and he thought he knew a little about the thief. Luo concluded that that person had at most something to do with stupidity, and he was by no means a firm and bold person in the mouth of Mr., nor could he be called infatuated. ”

"Did that man be good at this before?"

"In the past, he was just a down-and-out scholar, and he couldn't get famous, so I didn't know where I learned this art of retreat, and I began to take a crooked path."

"Maybe someone behind him taught him, either because they didn't tell him about the disadvantages of this method, or they used secret methods to make him no longer suspicious and timid. Maybe he only got the method of escape, but he didn't know the secret. Song You paused as he spoke, and after a while, he glanced at the gift brought by Luo Zhutou, and after a short period of silence, he said, "If one of these two is right, I will have a plan to try, but I only ask the team leader to try, and I dare not guarantee that it will be successful." ”

"Sir, please."

"Just break it."

"How do you break it?"

"Do you know that there is a book called Tao Li Sui Ji Ji

"Remembering ...... in the Year of Peach and Plum"

Luo Zhutou didn't understand how the method of breaking the retreat had anything to do with a book.

Fortunately, Da Yan's reading literacy rate is the highest in all dynasties, he was born in a big family, and he has also learned to write, and after thinking about it for a long time, he really remembered it - this seems to be a collection of strange and treacherous stories, which can be seen as a collection of fantasy stories of demons and ghosts.

"Luo has some impressions."

"The team leader only needs to tell him the next time he meets him, and he has recorded that when Tao Li was old, some people are used to using the art of retreating and suffocating to death three feet underground."

"Can it be done?"

"Maybe."

"This ......"

Luo Zhutou was stunned for a moment, although he felt that this was more mysterious than digging a pit and burying dung, but he also said that he would write it down.

After chatting a few more words, Song You sent him away.

This "Peach and Plum Years Chronicle" is also famous. The sales of this kind of miscellaneous books themselves are high, and there is no copyright awareness in this era, and many bookstores have printed them. And the compiler of this book is a Xuanmen Taoist, many things in it are his personal experience or personal hearings, the details of the authenticity is quite high, but anyone who has a little bit of contact with Xuanmen can see this, the thief is both timid and suspicious, after hearing about it, he will definitely go to verify.

Even if he can't read, hearing someone shout it out with such a strong foundation can't help but shake his heart.

If it can be done, it will be done, and if it can't be done, it will be said.

“……”

Song You shook his head and began to count the items.

The bacon and sausage were hung on the beams of the stove house, and the brown sugar tea cakes and wine were also received and placed in the stove house.

"It's been a while."

Song You muttered and looked at the cloth again.

Cloth is the best material, I am afraid that it is the most valuable of many gifts, and then look at the old robe on your body, you can make a new one.

It's just that this cloth is too flowery, and he loves plain colors.

“……”

Forget it.

Although this robe is worn old, it has been covering itself from the cold for many years, and has been working diligently, and it has been honed into the most comfortable and suitable appearance for many years, and now it has not broken the hole and leaked the wind, and it is still keeping itself warm, how can I replace it because it is old?

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw that Sanhua Niangniang had run under the stone table, and the hemp rope that was originally used to carry wine on the table hung down, and it was playing with its claws.

Those who have enough pleasure in it do not know that the dedication of the mouth and body is not as good as that of people.

Song You is like this, and so is Sanhua Niangniang.
