Eat and drink enough and get a good night's sleep.

Wang Qilin didn't feel sick to his stomach, he felt that some of the knowledge he learned in his dream was useless.

What is going on in the dream world? Where does it exist? Could it be Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly?

A series of questions arose in his mind.

He first listened to the Heavenly Prison because he wanted to find out the strange dreams he had since he was a child and the creation furnace that kept circling in his head, but now one of the two problems has not been solved......

But now these two problems are not a problem, the furnace is his dependence, and the world in the dream has matured his mind and broadened his horizons, which are all good things.

Then the question in his mind began to change:

Who am I, where do I come from, and what am I going to do......

Eight Meow and Ninety-Six yawned and stuck their heads out of the bed, and Wang Qilin changed to pondering while rubbing the dog's head and petting the cat.

The sky in April dawned early.

It had only been more than two hours since he came back to sleep after breakfast, but the Yin Yang Dao Divine Skill was working endlessly in his body, and he was now full of energy as long as he took a little rest.

He went and knocked on the door, and Xie Toad and Xu Da also woke up.

The old Taoist priest is old and feels young, and Xu Da is always full of energy as long as he is single.

Wang Qilin took the two of them to the cell to interrogate the old monk, but the old monk was very stable, and no matter what they asked, he would recite the scriptures there.

Zhu Dart Master admired it when he saw it: "If he is willing to fish, he must be a good hand, this determination is amazing." ”

The dart master next to him teased: "You must be a good hand when you go to be a monk, your concentration has been trained, and you can sit all day when you enter the temple." ”

Xu Da rubbed his fists and said, "The fat boy is still sleeping, so change the uncle to beat this old monk?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said: "The fist is useless to him, wait for the witch to come, let the witch put Gu on him, and when the time comes, if he has anything he wants to say, let him say it, if he doesn't want to say it,"

He looked at Guang Nan's old face: "Then go and use Wu Wu as a Gu worm culture medium." ”

Xu Da fell into deep thought: "Gu worms can still cultivate this thing? Can you connect this thing with the human body through Gu worms?" Hey, if you can, those people in the palace will have to call me Dad!"

Wang Qilin asked: "What are they calling your father for? Are you scolding or beating people? Isn't it a shame to be called a parent at such an old age?"

Xu Da looked at him and said, "How do you understand it?"

Wang Qilin sneered: "How do you understand my words?"

The old monk looked up at the two of them in surprise, didn't you want to torture me? Why are you suddenly fighting again?

Xie Toad stood aside and watched the excitement, he was accustomed to this, and it was not strange to see it.

Knowing that they were in the cell, Mao Yiqi, who was called, also hurried over.

Seeing Mao Yiqi's tired face, Wang Qilin said: "Lord Mao doesn't have to follow this official, you should rest." ”

Mao Yiqi hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Wang for your understanding, but it's almost enough to sleep on your humble position, oh, isn't this old monk still saying anything?"

Wang Qilin nodded.

Mao Yiqi came up and whispered, "Use, punishment?"

Wang Qilin said: "I'm afraid that he has cultivated the ascetic lineage, and your torture may not be useful to him." ”

Mao Yiqi smiled softly and said: "My lord, you misunderstood the meaning of humility, everyone has his weakness, what is the weakness of this old monk?"

Wang Qilin and Xu Da's eyes lit up.

Mao Yiqi nodded and said: "Yes, they have practiced all their lives, and all they want is to abide by the rules and enter the West Heaven Buddha Hall to become a Buddha after death?" Therefore, his weakness is the Buddha's heart, which is as light as water!"

"What does it mean to be lowly, let's find a few of the most demonic and charming Goolan courtyard cards in Zhending Mansion to seduce the old monk? Mess with his Buddha's heart and hit his weakness!"

Xu Da hurriedly coughed and said, "Master Mao, you may not know, this official practices Tongzigong, do you understand? Yes, practicing children's skills since childhood? So there is also a soft underbelly? What is the weakness of this officer?"

"Female?" Mao Yiqi asked subconsciously.

Xu Da nodded solemnly: "It's a woman?" Do you want to? Someday? This official was arrested by a cult or the remnants of the previous dynasty? Surely they will torture the officer? But this official is also an iron man, and he will definitely not give in if he is tortured!"

"What do you think they will do at this time? Will they deal with the weakness of their own officials like you?"

Mao Yiqi was a little dazed: "What does Lord Xu mean?"

Xu Da leaned up and whispered, "Can you let those girls?" Let's try to seduce me first, and see if they can disturb my martial arts heart. ”

After speaking, he straightened his waist and looked at Mao Yiqi solemnly, and said seriously: "Don't hide it?" I want to challenge my soft underbelly!"

Wang Qilin pushed him out: ", what did you do when you were in Chang'an City? You don't want to guard your family Luoshui like a jade anymore?"

Xu Da shouted unwillingly: "Miss Luo is unwilling to favor Uncle Yu? Why is the uncle still guarding her like a jade? Isn't that stupid?"

Mao Yiqi scratched his chin and looked at Xie Toad and asked, "Dao Chief, what Lord Xu said just now......

"You just treat it like a piece of. Xie Toad turned and left.

Shen Yi's hometown is called Ancient Books Township? The village is called uphill, which is a very unique village name, Shen Yi explained that their village is on a hillside, because the entry into the village is uphill, and the exit from the village is downhill, so it is called uphill.

Wang Qilin went to the case library to check the information on the uphill and downhill slopes, and found that there was no description of this place in the case file.

He called Mao Yiqi to ask about this place, and Mao Yiqi was surprised: "My lord wants to check the uphill and downhill slopes?"

Wang Qilin said: "The Great Reed River was diverted many years ago and washed away the uphill and downhill, right?"

Mao Yiqi squeezed the corners of his eyes, and said: "It seems to be the case, the matter is quite old, and the lowly post has not yet entered the Heavenly Prison on an errand at that time, let alone the Zhending Mansion in the future, so I don't know much about this matter." ”

As soon as Wang Qilin heard this, he knew that something was wrong, he looked at Mao Yiqi and asked, "You have been investigating the trickery of the Great Reed River, and now tell me that you don't know about the situation of going up and down the slope?"

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be in the important archives of the Heavenly Prison when the torrential rains continued, the Great Reed River was diverted, the mudslides appeared, and the uphill and downhill slopes were destroyed?"

Mao Yiqi sighed lightly and said: "Lord Wang doesn't know anything, he knows about this matter, but he heard about it among the local people, and there is no relevant account in the strange case record of the Heavenly Prison." ”

Wang Qilin suddenly pressed the trickery record in his hand: "This is impossible!"

Mao Yiqi nodded silently.

Wang Qilin walked around the case library with his hands behind his back, and after a few turns, he asked Mao Yiqi: "Tell me what you know, about going up and down the slope, about the ancient book township." ”

Mao Yiqi said: "Ancient Books Township belongs to Luoba County......"

Hearing the name of this county, Wang Qilin's heart moved, and asked, "Is there a seven-jackal township in Luoba County?"

Mao Yiqi was stunned and said, "Yes, there is a Seven Jackal Township, is there any problem?"

Wang Qilin waved his hand and said, "No, the official just asked, you continue." ”

Mao Yiqi said: "Luoba County knows by listening to the name, there is a dam called Luoba in this county, and the ancient book township is under Luoba, there are many ancient tombs here before, and many ancient classics have been dug out, so when the region of this dynasty is redivided, there is such a name as the ancient book township." ”

"The uphill and downhill is the closest place to Luoba in Ancient Books Township, the terrain is very steep, there are hills everywhere, the Great Reed River is there to flow through the mountains and mountains, relying on the Great Reed River, the village of Ancient Books Township is considered to be smooth in wind and rain, and the days are not bad. ”

"Then 20 years ago, the days were long, and 20 years ago, Luoba County was hit by a once-in-a-century heavy rain, and the soil and mountains along the Dawei River continued to collapse, forcing the Dawei River to be diverted and impact the surrounding area of Luoba. ”

"Things happened very quickly, the Luo Dam collapsed, the Dawei River hit the soil mountain, and finally there was a mudslide on the soil mountain, which completely destroyed the uphill and downhill. ”

Wang Qilin asked: "Didn't the yamen go to deal with the river disaster and floods? Even if it rained heavily, it would not be possible for the Dawei River to be diverted and the dam to break through for a while, right?

Mao Yiqi shook his head: "The diversion of the Great Reed River happened very quickly, and it directly washed away the embankment and caused a mudslide. ”

Hearing this, Xie Toad said categorically: "The river diversion will not be so fast, unless it is a Jiaojiao or a water monster, if the river is diverted so quickly, the Heavenly Supervisor should send someone to investigate this matter." ”

Mao Yiqi looked at them and stopped talking.

Wang Qilin asked, "What about the future?" Go on, why doesn't the Heavenly Prison have a relevant account?"

Mao Yiqi said: "According to the news in the Heavenly Prison, it is said that this matter has nothing to do with tricks, so there is naturally no relevant record in our trickery record. ”

"Actually?" Wang Qilin asked him.

Mao Yiqi said: "Actually, there is a strange thing! Before the river collapsed, there were some rumors in the township——"

"One of the most widespread stories is that after the heavy rain began, a group of people and horses carried a sedan chair out of the mountain, and the line was very long, and they hurried out of the mountain. ”

"It was daytime, and many villagers saw this scene, the team was in a hurry, and the road in the mountains was not easy to walk, so they staggered and lost their things. ”

"Some villagers were kind enough to help pick up things, but after they went, they found that the people carrying the sedan chair were all paper people, and they couldn't stand up straight after being wet by the rain, so they dropped the box on their shoulders and saluted!"

After saying this, he shook his head: "But we heard that the accounts of this matter in the Heavenly Prison are all 'unsubstantiated', thinking that it is a rumor spread by the people, of course, the river is diverted, the village is buried, and this kind of thing is indeed easy to be related to some gods and ghosts in the mouths of the people." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "What do you think?"

Mao Yiqi subconsciously asked: "Please make it clear, what do you think of the humble position?"

Wang Qilin asked, "Do you think there are any ghosts and demons in this matter?"

Mao Yiqi hesitated for a few breaths, and finally said: "I think there should be no lowly position." ”

He raised his head, glanced at Wang Qilin quickly, and then lowered his head and said, "Otherwise, there will be no record in the Yamen County Chronicles and our case and library records." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Who was the iron captain of Zhending Mansion at that time?"

Mao Yiqi said: "His name is Gong Anbang, he is a great master, fifteen years ago when he was managing the Great Reed River, they met a very powerful water monkey, Gong is not good at close combat, died at the hands of the water monkey." ”

Wang Qilin asked again: "Who were the big seals in Luoba County and the small seals in Ancient Books Township at that time?"

Mao Yiqi said: "The big seal of Luoba County is Lord Lei Yongjian, the small seal of the ancient book township, and the lowly position is not very clear, and the lowly position is mobilized from Xiang County, so I don't know much about the local rural people." ”

Wang Qilin looked at Xu Da, "This Lord Lei is a little familiar." ”

Xu Da is the gossip and likes to learn about the yamen in various places and listen to the gossip of the officials in the heavenly prison, so he also understands the identity information of officials at all levels.

He knew that Lei Yongjian must have a lot of background, and now he should be in a high position—a very simple inference.

When Mao Yiqi called the former iron lieutenant of Zhending Mansion, he called Gong Anbang by his name, but when he changed to a big seal, he was called Lord Lei.

Xu Da said: "Lord Lei Yongjian is the younger brother of Lord Lei Yongjie, the Lei family is a famous family in the Heavenly Prison, and the Heavenly Prison has their family members as officials in the land of Jingchu and Shu, among which Lord Lei Yongjie is the golden general who governs Shu County, Chu County and other places, and Lord Lei Yongjian is the silver general of Chu County. ”

Wang Qilin nodded and said, "It is indeed a famous family. ”

He pondered for a while, slapped the table and said, "In this way, the big army has not yet arrived, let's go to Luoba County first and take a look?"

Mao Yiqi hurriedly said: "The adults are dedicated to the people, wearing the stars and the moon, and they are greatly admired for their humble positions. However, you have not rested since you came to Zhending Mansion, and you have been running for the people, and you are ashamed to be a local parent official, so you might as well rest today?"

Wang Qilin smiled: "Okay, rest first, then rest first." It just so happens that Dao Ye is going to retreat for two days recently, so let's find a closed room for Dao Ye to retreat, and the official and Lord Xu and Fat Master will walk around and enjoy the spring scenery of Zhending Mansion. ”

Xie Toad stroked his beard and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old Taoist is going to retreat again." ”

They explained to Mao Yiqi that the Taoist retreat was a Qing cultivation, no one was allowed to disturb him, there was no need to prepare food and water, and there was no room for people within ten zhang of the room.

Mao Yiqi made a difficulty, the distance of ten zhang is not small, and it is not easy to find a free house with a radius of ten zhang.

Eventually, he thought of a granary outside the city, and said that this warehouse was not visited on weekdays, so he could go there for retreat.

They sent Xie Toad to the granary, and when they went out, a wrestler said cautiously, "Ladies and gentlemen?"

Xu Da looked back at him, pointed at him and said, "You are, I remember you, your name is - big hemorrhoids?"

Lux said: "Lord Xu has a good memory, and his humble position is Deng Dazhi. ”

Xu Da suddenly patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, Deng Dazhi, Deng Deng Deng!"

He asked, "What do you call us?"

Deng Dazhi timidly asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you going out?" Do you want to prepare a mule for you?"

Xu Da said: "Don't be in a hurry to use the divine mule now, let them live in your house first." By the way, you don't have to be stressed, the mules are healthy, have a good appetite, and are hard-working and good-tempered, so you don't have to worry too much about them, just lock them in the yard. ”

As soon as he heard this, Deng Dazhi's eyes turned red.

I Qi Niang came to them really have a good appetite, they can eat anything, eat eight meals a day, eat a bunch of food, my family's grain storage has bottomed out, and the toon trees in the yard have made them into poles!

But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only respond with a cry: "Humble and orderly." ”

Fat Wuyi knew the virtues of his two brothers very well, and asked thoughtfully: "Are they doing it in your house? If they do it, you tell the official, the official will not spare him, no, kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey!"

Xu Da covered his ears and left.

As an excellent talent, he can't listen to other people's blind chicken neck idioms.

Listening to the fat adult's words and looking at Lord Xu's appearance, Deng Dazhi's heart was cold: What is the determination to kill and make an example of the monkey, this is all for himself.

Can the adults kill them because of their mounts? Surely not!

Adults want to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so in this idiom, am I Deng Dazhi a chicken or a monkey?

He pondered for a moment, no matter whether he was a chicken or a monkey, it would not end well.

Looking at Lord Xu's posture again, he directly covered his ears and left, this is because he doesn't want to listen to himself at all.

Deng Dazhi's heart suddenly felt like ashes, he couldn't live for his own evils, he was bent on slapping the sycophants yesterday, so bear it yourself.

He smiled reluctantly: "The fat lord said that he was joking, he was humble, everything was fine at home, and the two god mules were also very good." ”

The fat five-in-one patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's okay, anyway, if they are demons, then you can sue the wicked first." ”

The smile on Deng Dazhi's face froze: Fortunately, I didn't directly count the evil deeds of your gods and mules just now, otherwise I would have become a wicked person?

Social Society!

Can't afford to provoke!

Wang Qilin and the others sent Xie Toad into the granary and closed the door, Mao Yiqi warmly welcomed them to lunch, saying that there were arrangements for lunch.

"What arrangement?" asked Xu Da.

Mao Yiqi smiled mysteriously at him and said, "The arrangement that the adults wanted last night." ”

Xu Da gave him a reproachful look: You take your uncle to do this kind of thing secretly, why do you still say it in public?

Mao Yiqi prepared a sumptuous luncheon, and the banquet was arranged in the Daxing Garden, the first restaurant of Zhending Mansion, which is an imitation of the garden-style building of the Jiangnan Water Town.

But Xu Da was not interested, he was now waiting to meet Jing Chu's slender waist beauty after eating.

During the banquet, he also mentioned it with great interest: "Lord Mao, this official studied when he was young, and when he read "Mozi and Love", there was such a ......"

"In the past, the king of Chu Ling was a good soldier with a thin waist, so the ministers of the king of Ling all took a meal as a festival, coerced and then brought, and then supported the wall and then rose. ”

Mao Yiqi nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Xu Da asked: "From now on, the Chu people have thin waists for both men and women, but why haven't you seen this official along the way?"

Mao Yiqi said: "After the luncheon, the adults will have something to see." ”

Xu Da immediately laughed when he heard this.

Mao Yiqi also laughed.

Xu Da smiled and stretched out his finger to point at him: "Uncle likes you!"

There are many delicacies on the table, all of which are Jingchu characteristics, and it is a hard dish that comes up, stewed a big king.

Mao Yiqi got up and introduced: "Lord Wang, Lord Xu, Fat Lord, this dish is called Jingsha soft-shelled turtle, which has a long history, according to the research, it is from the Warring States Period, and the "Chu Ci Dazhao" at that time has a banquet list, which specifically mentions that this dish is the most flavorful!"

"As we all know, turtles have always been recognized as a product that nourishes shade, cools blood, and moistens dryness, and old turtles have the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang......"

When Wang Qilin heard this, he looked at him fiercely: What do you mean by this? Who are you talking to?

Fortunately, Mao Yiqi didn't specifically mention his name, nor did he say anything about hearing that Lord Wang likes to make great supplements, he just went to introduce this dish.

After the introduction, Mao Yiqi personally opened the plate, then scooped a bowl of soup and put Wang Batou in it and handed it to Wang Qilin: "Lord Wang, please eat, this is the most supplemental!"

Wang Qilin felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and he smiled reluctantly: "This official is young, there is no need to make up for it, thank you Lord Mao for your concern." It's Lord Xu, right, you take care of it, Lord Xu has been a little overworked lately. ”

Mao Yiqi said: "Then give this bowl of dishes to Lord Xu?"

Wang Qilin pressed the bowl and said: "Forget it, leave it for the official, it's already in front of the official, just now the official said that there was a spit star sprayed in, and it is not appropriate to give it to Lord Xu." ”

Xu Da said disdainfully: "Lord Wang is really hypocritical, if you want to make up for it, just say it, why do you still use this official as a shield? This official will dislike you and spit on Xingzi?

Mao Yiqi looked at the two of them in astonishment when he heard this: Huh, something is wrong with you!

Wang Qilin hurriedly explained: "This official and Lord Xu have been eating in the same pot since the day they met, so it is inevitable that they will eat saliva from each other. ”

Mao Yiqi said: "This subordinate naturally knows, Lord Wang, you eat Wang Batou, this is a mother Wang Ba, and Wang Baba, Wang Ba is also very supplemental, Wang Ba Dan is Lord Xu's." ”

Fat Wuyi smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, the bastard should be Lord Xu." ”

Eight Meow stretched out her paw and pressed Mao Yiqi's arm, and it pushed out its plate with its other paw: Give me something to make up for it too......
