Chapter 17: Resourcefulness and Secrets

"Where are the ghosts? It's just a trick to deceive you, and I'll banish them with a knife. ”

After speaking, the sturdy man on the bed got up quickly, and pulled out the saber from the edge of the bed, and the bright light shook the room, and through the bright light, he could see that the face of a ghost seemed to have been burned by fire, hideous and terrifying, and extremely scary.

"Ahh The man shouted loudly for his men to come to the rescue, but no matter how loud his voice was, there was a deathly silence all around, and it turned out that his men had already been stunned by the Red Scale and the Old Dragon.

Seeing that there was no answer to the shouting, the man was like a ghost, and fiercely slashed at the ghost in front of him one after another, but where the knife fell, he only heard a miserable scream, and the second lady's finger was cut off by him, and it fell to the ground, and blood began to flow.

"Ah, it hurts, it's the ghost who slashed me, please, master, don't kill me, don't kill me, whatever you want, I promise you. ”

The wicked woman, in order to survive, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged for mercy.

"Slut, you have taken my life, and you have cheated on my daughter, saying, Where have you hidden my daughter? ”

The "ghost" that looked like the prime minister flickered suddenly, and her figure had already come to the second lady, so frightened that the second lady trembled, trembling non-stop, she cried and begged for mercy, "Master, spare your life, spare your life, I said, I said it all." These are not my own opinions, but your former protΓ©gΓ© Ding Jun asked me to do this, he has already planned everything, waiting for you to enter the game.

Including that I was able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was also arranged by him, and when the young lady returned to the mansion, she sent someone to report to the official and did not do the little woman's business, it was Lord Ding who asked me to do it, and if I didn't do it, he would kill me. ”

Ding Jun next to him heard that the second lady had put all the blame on himself, and he was angry for a while, and he couldn't wait to slash the knife in his hand at her again and block her babbling mouth. Anyway, the knife seemed to be fixed in the air at the moment, and no matter how much he used his strength, he couldn't make the knife move even a bit.

"Slut, don't frame and frame the good guys, it's all your own opinion, and now you have come to frame the official. After speaking, his eyes glared fiercely at the second lady.

When the ghost saw that the two of them were dying, and they were so cunning, and passed the buck to each other, they shouted, "Shameless man, the old man already knows what the two of you do on weekdays, and there is no need to explain more, and now the old man is asking, where was my precious daughter sent?"

After speaking, a sharp look looked at the two of them, and scared the two of them into begging for mercy. At the same time, the big knife hanging in mid-air was like a divine help, slowly moving downward, straight to the neck of the sturdy man.

If the broadsword is allowed to continue to move forward, in an instant, the head will fall to the ground.

The dog official surnamed Ding, when had he seen this kind of battle, he was so frightened that he begged for mercy for a while.

"My lord, don't kill me, don't kill me, I said, I said, the eldest lady was arrested by the palace and arrested, I heard that she was first locked up in Kyoto prison and tortured. Later, the old emperor died suddenly, she was pardoned, and all the show girls in their books were sent to the cemetery to see the tomb for the old emperor.

It's just that I don't know if she's still alive. ”

Suddenly hearing the whereabouts of the eldest lady, the ghost's figure shook excitedly, and then he said angrily, "If you tell me the whereabouts of my daughter, I can leave you a whole corpse." The two of you, who are embarrassed, trap your teacher, and frame the innocent, deserve death. After saying that, he relaxed his sleeves, and a gust of wind passed, and the two of them fell to the ground like blown out candles.

Seeing the death of the two wicked people, the two ghosts immediately reverted to their human appearance, one was Red Scales and the other was an old dragon.

"Old Dragon King, how is it? My trick is quite effective, killing two birds with one stone, not only easily hearing the whereabouts of Zimo's mother from the mouth of the wicked, but also teaching the wicked a lesson, which is really happy. ”

"The girl is resourceful, the old dragon admires, thanks to the red-scaled girl who is here today, she can help me a thing or two, if only Zimo's child could grow up to be so sensible and capable. The old dragon sighed.

"Zi Mo, Zi Mo is very good, I have always felt that he is very righteous, brave and kind, don't worry, old dragon king, your son must be no worse." Isn't there a folk proverb called: dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice give birth to burrows in the ground, so God is destined to be a hero of the world. Red Scales said vigorously.

"You kid, it's very eccentric, you say this, it does make some sense, the old man has a promising future for Zimo.

Let's go, let's take Mo'er to visit his mother immediately. Here, let it be burned clean again, dust to dust, dust to dust, and an explanation to those who died in vain.

The old dragon and the red scales flew out of the room, and turned around, and the old dragon spewed a breath of fire into the room from a distance, and then the raging flames burst out, burning the two ugly corpses in the flames.

In the distance, a family member woke up from his slumber, saw the house on fire, and called for everyone to go and put out the fire, but no matter how hard they tried, the fire could not be extinguished, and they could only let the fire swallow up the houses.

Some people felt strange, so they exchanged their heads and discussed, "I'm afraid this house is cursed by the ghost of the master, no matter how we put it out, we can't put out the fire." ”

"But no, the second lady is to blame, it is said that there is still the new prime minister who succeeded the master lying in the room tonight. This pair of adulterers will be burned alive. ”

"I'm sorry, it's good to burn them, what good people the old prime minister and the eldest lady are, since they met these two people, they have been completely pitted, not only took away the original family property, but also took away the happiness of the young lady, the official position of the master, today's fire, I'm afraid that the ghost of the old man came to light it. ”

The crowd watched and discussed, but they couldn't put out the fire, so they could only watch in amazement, allowing the fire to burn several houses to ruins.

At this moment, Zi Mo, who was waiting silently outside the courtyard wall, suddenly saw the flames in the courtyard, thinking that the old dragon and the red scale had encountered some terrible accident, and he was so frightened that he was about to rush in to find out.

But when he thought that the old dragon's father had repeatedly told him not to set foot in the courtyard of the house no matter what, he resisted the impulse in his heart and did not go to the courtyard to see the difference.

While Zi Mo was waiting, the red scales flew out of the courtyard with the old dragon and came to Zi Mo's side.

Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Zimo was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the two. "How's it going, Daddy, have you found my mother's whereabouts?"

"Silly boy, with the ghost girl of Red Scales, naturally she won't go home empty-handed, in the future, you have to learn more from other little girls. Lao Long knew that his son had a soft spot for Red Scales, so he seized the opportunity and did not forget to praise Red Scales in front of his son, which not only enhanced the relationship between father and son, but also made Red Scales and Zimo more intimate with each other.

"Daddy's lesson is that I will learn more from the red-scaled girl in the future. After speaking, Zimo shyly looked at the red scales, and when he saw the cute appearance of the red scales being praised with joy and dancing eyebrows, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Red-scaled girl, the way you laugh, it's so cute, in the future, just smile more, seeing you smile, the haze that has been hidden in my heart for many years seems to have been swept away.

Now, my mother finally has news, let's go and find her quickly, I hope she can be auspicious and still alive in the world. ”

"Okay, my son is right, I'll take you to find your long-lost mother. After the old dragon finished speaking, he took Zimo and the red scales to ride the clouds and mist, and quickly walked towards the emperor's tomb on the outskirts of Kyoto.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already arrived at the spiritual vein located on the outskirts of Kyoto, and the old dragon stopped the cloud and landed in front of the mountain, and the three of them carefully observed the scenery in front of them. I saw that the imperial tomb stretched for several miles, the scale was huge, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the feng shui was very good.

There is a high-walled courtyard not far from the imperial mausoleum, the gate is closed, no sound of human speech is heard, pine and cypress trees are widely planted around, it seems that there is a person who watches the mausoleum.

In order not to disturb the innocent people in the courtyard, the old dragon and the red scale gang Zimo changed their shapes, and the three of them disguised themselves as butterflies before quietly flying into the courtyard.

Inside the high wall, several white-headed palace maids were bored, sitting on the stone steps, expressionless, looking at the sky abruptly, their eyes were full of hollowness and dead silence, looking at the empty eyes, the beautiful faces, Zimo and Honglu felt sorry and sad for these poor palace maids in their hearts.

Zimo vaguely remembered his mother's face, he carefully identified it, and didn't recognize the person in front of him, so he denied it one by one, and then vibrated his wings and continued to fly towards the house.

In the dark room, lit by a dim lamp, a thin figure with a familiar back was sitting under the lamp at the moment, rubbing something in his hands.

Seeing that familiar figure, Zimo's heart was suddenly struck by lightning, although many years have passed, although he has lost his memory and forgotten the past, it still can't prevent him from recalling his mother's amiable appearance and familiar figure.

Looking at the thin woman in front of him, Zi Mo couldn't help but tremble his voice, choked and called, "Mother!" Just called out the voice, his mouth was immediately blocked by the red scales with spiritual power, and made a whining sound, until this time, Zi Mo suddenly realized that he was still in the shape of a butterfly, and he was not suitable for talking to mortals at all, if he spoke rashly, he would definitely frighten his mother.
