Li Chuan looked at Chang Ridu's appearance again, with a thick face, thick and mixed eyebrows, and bright eyes, as if he was in his early forties.

Then he noticed Zou Jingping's appearance, which was much darker and thinner than the last time he saw him, with wind and frost on his face.

Twilight seemed very happy to see them, and while leading them in, he said, "It's been a long time since I've had a guest at home, so please forgive me if there's anything you don't have to entertain." ”

After entering the door, Li Chuan only felt a sense of luxury rushing to his face. Carved railings and jade masonry, strange flowers and plants, all kinds of exquisite objects, are all piled up there, only to feel that the whole person is wrapped in wealth.

After Li Chuan roughly estimated the price of a few furnishings, he stopped counting them.

He was also a little surprised to see the situation in the general's mansion.

Neither of them spoke, and followed Twilight through the cloister and into a small two-story building. The interior is very elegantly furnished, but the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and the books on the shelves are all of extraordinary origin.

It is estimated that when Chang Xiao first came back to visit him in Sanyi Hutong, he brought the ancient books of calligraphy and painting from here.

After Chang Ridui invited them to sit down, after waiting for the people to serve tea, he said, "Xiushan County, and what happened in Wochi, the dog told me. I should have come to thank you, but at this time, the situation in Beijing is complicated, and there are too many rumors, and I am afraid that it will cause trouble to you. ”

Li Chuan said: "Without Chang Gongzi to show us the way, it wouldn't have been so smooth." ”

Then, Chang Ridui looked at Wen Guying and asked, "Daoist Wen, do you recognize Daoist Qian Xinnong?" He was also a monk of the Four Shrines. ”

Hui Ying asked: "Senior Brother Qian, do you recognize it?" ”

Chang Ridui said: "It's been almost forty years, when His Majesty ordered the killing of the python in the Swallow River, and he took the initiative to find me, informed the python of his weakness, and also saved my life. Is he okay now? ”

"He's dead." Review should be said.

Chang Ridui was shocked and said, "How come? How did he die? ”

Wen Guying said: "Twenty or thirty years ago, he left the Four Divine Palaces and went to another sect, and when that sect was in turmoil, he passed away. ”

When Li Chuan heard this description, he thought of the Frost Leaf Gate.

Chang Ri lost his mind for a while before he spoke again and said, "How come? We also made an appointment, and when I finished the worldly relationship, I would cultivate immortals with him and asked......"

Wen Guying said: "If Senior Brother Qian knows that there are still people who remember him, he will be very happy. ”

After a little more small talk, they finally got to the point. Chang Ridui said: "After you came to me last time, I asked Mr. Zou to go to Yashan County for a trip, and I didn't come back until half a month ago. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that Li Chuan and Wen should misunderstand, he explained: "Although Mr. Zou has no position, the people below me obey him. ”

"Did you find anything?" ”

"Mr. Zou, come on." Chang Ridui said to Zou Jingping.

"Okay." Zou Jingping sat up straight, and said: "In the past few months, I have indeed found a lot of unusual places, but I dare not judge whether this information is useful or not, and whether some guesses are right." So I will tell you all the things I have seen and heard along the way, and if I am too verbose or have said too many useless things, I ask Mr. Li and Wen Daoyou to forgive me. ”

Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zou is humble, for our words, you have been busy for so many months, it is really ...... Great work. ”

Wen Guying also said: "This matter involves the gods and demons, and even the Xuanmen monks are not sure to find out what is going on. If you think it's worth talking, you can tell it in detail, and maybe you can find the truth from it. ”

Chang Ridui said: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Li and Wen Daochang are their own people, you can just say it." ”

So Zou Jingping began his narrative. La said: "After I arrived in Yashan County, I did not go directly to the barracks, but pretended to be a Langzhong, starting from Longquan County, all the way to Qingtan County. Prince Su's mansion is in Qingtan County. ”

Listening to Zou Jingping's narration, Li Chuan somehow remembered Lao and smiled.

Zou Jingping said: "Prince Su was under house arrest in the palace in the winter of the previous year, and when he went to Heyuan Town to suppress demons, it was already the autumn of the second year. So by the time I arrived in Yashan County, Prince Su had been in the fiefdom for nearly a year. ”

"But I walked all the way and found that Yashan County was still relatively stable, and I thought that if I wanted to find the relics of gods and demons, I would only ask the local officials and the people in the palace of Prince Su, and it would be difficult to find clues. After the demon was suppressed in Heyuan Town, it is estimated that the key points of people and things have been taken away, and the rest are either unaware or willing to hide these hidden people with their lives. ”

"So, when I walked along the way, I often went to places where there were demons or other unusual rumors, and I did encounter a few little demons, all of them were in danger, and I didn't get much information. When I arrived in Qingtan County, I stayed in a hunter's house in a barren mountain and heard some ......"

Zou Jingping stopped suddenly.

As soon as Li Chuan wanted to speak, he saw Chang Ridui standing up and walking towards the door. Outside the door there was a man dressed as a steward.

After talking to the steward in a low voice, Chang Ridui walked back, and he apologized to Li Chuan and Wen Guying, saying, "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, and I don't know what happened. ”

Li Chuan said: "General Chang hurry up." ”

Chang Riwei nodded, he explained a few words to Chang Xiao, asked him to entertain them well, and then said to Li Chuan and Wen Guying: "I'll go back quickly, and before dinner, I will definitely come back." They treat this place as their home, and everything is casual. ”

Then he walked out again, and soon disappeared between the towers.

After a moment of silence in the room, Chang Xiao said, "Uncle Zou continues." ”

"Okay." Zou Jingping spoke again, and he said: "That Orion, knowing that I was Lang Zhong from out of town, asked me if I knew how to cure soul loss. I asked him who the patient was and what his symptoms were, and after he said a few words, I asked him to take me to see the patient, but he was hesitant. ”

Hearing the word lost soul, Li Chuan and Wen Jiuying glanced at each other, and Chang Xiao's expression became serious.

Zou Jingping continued: "I knew that there was something strange in it, so I didn't ask again at that time, but said a few methods......

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then, a few sharp female voices came in, and the words "rebellion" and "get out of the way" were vaguely heard.

Chang Xiao and Zou Jingping's expressions changed. When Chang Xiao was about to get up, Zou Jingping took the lead in standing up and said, "Young master, I'll go for a trip." ”

Chang Xiao hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After Zou Jingping walked out, Chang Xiao explained: "Aunt Jiu is making trouble again. During this time, Uncle Zou was not at home, so she had the final say on all matters at home, and now Uncle Zou is back...... She probably thought her father was here, so she ......"

Li Chuan didn't want to get involved in Chang Xiao's family affairs, so he said, "Don't worry, it's just right...... There are a lot of books here, and many of them seem to be unique books, just enough to read. ”

Chang Xiao said: "Which copy Mr. Li likes, just take it back." ”

"No, I ...... I'll just take a look at ......," Li Chuan said.

Li Chuan and the three of them chatted for a while, and then admired the general's collection for a while, and the noise outside stopped, but Zou Jingping never came back.

After another round of tea, Chang Xiao couldn't sit still, he said, "I'll go and see the situation, Mr. Li Wen Daochang, you wait for me." ”

"Go ahead." Li Chuan said.

After Chang Xiao's figure also disappeared from view, Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying and said, "Daochang Wen, you didn't make a mistake this day, right?" ”
