The Tao family was hospitable, so naturally they couldn't let Wang Qilin and his entourage leave directly after saving people, they arranged a luncheon, and they had to eat and drink well to entertain them anyway.

Zhuang Mengdie also kept Wang Qilin, saying that he had promised to invite him to eat flatbread rolls and large slices of meat, but there was no such food for breakfast, and they hadn't eaten it yet, so they changed it to lunch.

With the light of Chang'an City, Bayi has developed very well, with many wine shops and buildings.

People in the west have to borrow more or less from Bayi to go to Chang'an City, so the diet here is Westernized, all kinds of Hu cakes, mutton, beef, etc., and the dishes are rough, heavy oil and salt.

Wang Qilin also saw the ...... of selling cut cakes

The banquet arranged by the Tao family is in the depths of an alley, there are willow trees at the mouth of the alley, there are flowers in the alley, spring has arrived, the willow trees sprout, flowers **, and the small alley has a big spring.

The New Year has given Huangfeng wine, and the old and old still divide the tail fish.

The alleys are closed to the sun, and the small garden removes snow to get spring vegetables.

This restaurant in the alley is a bit of a fifth taste.

It is not a fly restaurant that hides the old folk taste in some legend, but an old wine shop full of fame, which has survived for a hundred years and has been open here, and even Zhuang Mengdie knows the reputation of this restaurant.

The restaurant was originally called Youjiujia, which was first used to sell wine, and then the host married a royal chef and began to sell exquisite dishes, so it was renamed Youjiu Youcaijia.

The Tao family is not a wealthy family in Bayi, but it is very famous, and the housekeeper Tao Yin brought people in to greet them in person.

Knowing that Tao Chan had woken up, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and shouted: "Let the kitchen stew an old black chicken, didn't Zhang Er just send an old turtle in the morning?

Tao Yin smiled and thanked him, and then introduced Wang Qilin and others, saying that it was these adults who saved the son.

The shopkeeper immediately patted his chest and said, "Today, you just need to pay for the food, the wine money is free, please drink to your heart's content!"

He played a good abacus, and the group came with horses, and they didn't dare to drink too much on horseback.

For a long time, there have always been cases of Brother Gongzi injuring people after drinking and injuring people inside and outside Chang'an City, so the Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City also specially issued a law, saying that drinking does not ride a horse, and riding a horse does not drink.

The shopkeeper saw a lot of people, and his eyesight was extraordinary, and he could see at a glance that Zhuang Mengdie was by no means an ordinary person.

He asked Zhuang Mengdie's identity in a low-key manner, and learned that this was the son of the Imperial Doctor's family, and immediately patted his chest and said that the price of today's wine and food was free, and he thanked the son of the Imperial Doctor for his help on behalf of the Tao family......

Wang Qilin is accustomed to the cooking skills of Suisui Niangzi, and he only eats fresh food in Chang'an City, and he has never felt that the chefs of the major cuisines in the capital are any powerful.

The dishes of the wine and vegetable families taste good, and when he learned that they had not been to the Western Regions, Tao Yin specially invited them to taste the dishes of the Western Regions.

One of the main dishes he chose was hand-grasped lamb, a large plate of lamb chops and leg of lamb, the meat was oily and trembling, sprinkled with salt particles, white and rustling, as if a layer of frost had fallen.

The shopkeeper personally served the food, and he introduced: "My family mutton is sheep, because sheep meat is more tender. Maybe the big guy will think that the mutton is fishy and unpalatable, haha, but my family has a secret technique to deal with it, so I guarantee that the guest officers can't eat a little fishy. ”

He saw that there was a Taoist priest on the seat, and hurriedly changed his words: "If the two real people are not Huoju, then the villain can prepare some vegetarian food for you." ”

Xie Toad Ji sang for the first time: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Lao Dao is not a picky eater in his life, he can eat two catties of meat, and he can drink two catties of wine." ”

Daoist Gu Feng waved his hand and said: "Senior brother has a good amount of food, Poor Dao can't eat so much, and mutton can eat at most a catty." ”

Wang Qilin's side has already started.

This mutton is very badly cooked, and it tastes tender, and it really doesn't have a mutton flavor.

Eat meat and drink a lot of wine and have fun!

Zhuang Mengdie picked up the lamb chops to eat, and he hated the fat on the large pieces of mutton.

This is the difference between the sons of the family and Wang Qilin, the children of the country, the sons can't eat fat, Wang Qilin still lacks oil and water in his stomach, he likes mutton with fat, so it complements the lean meat, the lean meat has a taste, the fat meat has a fragrance, it melts in the mouth, and he is satisfied.

The shopkeeper also served a dish of egg-wrapped beef balls, and after this dish was served, there was a strong aroma of benzoin, which was very appetizing.

He said proudly: "The benzoin used in our shop comes from the southern foot of the Shule Tianshan Mountains, where the benzoin is full and rich in flavor, please taste it, it is definitely different from what you feel elsewhere." ”

The egg skin is fried to a golden brown, and the inside is wrapped in beef cubes, the egg skin is crispy, the beef juice is rich, put a piece in the mouth, the aroma of benzoin and the fresh aroma of the beef complement each other, and the group of people who eat it are full of praise.

There are other dishes in the back that are just as brilliant, Wang Qilin and his party are satisfied with eating, and finally they eat and drink to support their stomachs and roll melons.

After they rested for a day or two, they left Bayi, the Tao family was hospitable, and the housekeeper Tao Yin brought gifts to them all the way, and sent them all the way, all the way out of Bayi Sanli.

Seeing everyone's backs go away, he returned to the city with Pheasant Mountain, and hurriedly returned to the ancestral house to visit Tao Chan.

As a result, there was only one servant in the ancestral mansion, so he asked, "What about the young master and the young lady?"

The servant said, "They haven't come back, they're still in the study, aren't they?"

Tao Yin felt strange, although there was a place to live in the study, but it was a place for the next person to live in the backyard, why did his young master stay there?

He went to see that Tao Chan was indeed in the backyard, drinking tea and basking in the sun at the stone table.

And Dow sat sullenly on the side, with tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he had quarreled.

In this way, Tao Yin was stunned: "Young master, why are you staying in this place, why don't you go back to our mansion?"

Tao Chan put down the teacup and smiled weakly, and said: "I'll go back in a few days, I'm too weak to move, just now my wife helped me walk a few steps, and I couldn't help but get angry out of breath." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Tao apologetically: "Is Madame still angry with her husband? It's my fault, I hate myself for not being able to use my head, and I almost made a big mistake when I went astray, and now although I have returned to the world, my body is useless, alas." ”

Tao Yin thought for a while and said, "Young master, don't think so, if you are weak now, then how about I ask Pheasant Mountain to find a sedan chair to carry you back? ”

Tao Chan said impatiently: "Wait for me to raise my body first, and when I can go, I will walk back by myself, what is it to let people carry it back now?

Tao Yin saw that he was angry, so he had to laugh and give up the idea of persuasion.

He didn't say more, and Tao Chan's attitude softened: "Uncle Yin, have the adults from the capital left?"

Tao Yin hurriedly said: "Left, oh, this is the talisman they left behind, young master, you have to put it away." ”

Tao Chan lazily reached out to take the talisman, he said that he was very tired and wanted to rest quietly, Tao and Tao Yin had to leave.

The inner door to the backyard closes, and the backyard becomes an enclosed space.

Tao Cicada lazily basked in the sun until the sunset, and then slowly shouted Tao Yin to clean up a room for himself, and slowly walked into the house.

Tao Yin said, "Young Master, your talisman is still on the table. ”

As he spoke, he diligently sent Tao Cicada into the house.

Tao Chan thanked him after getting the amulet and watched him walk out of the courtyard.

Seeing the door closed, he pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Is this kind of talisman what can it protect? At most, it will warn you when a ghost appears." ”

He tossed the small amulet in his hand, and the talisman paper burned......

Seeing this, he suddenly turned his head to look around, and a red figure flashed away.

The afterglow of the setting sun is getting more and more dispersed, and the orange-red light falls to the ground through the cracks in the branches, and the color is strange and strange.

A cat meow suddenly sounded from the roof above him: "Meow!"

The voice was shrill and piercing, and the cat's footsteps quickly faded away.

It was like it was scared of something.

Standing at the door, Tao Chan felt a chill surging behind him.

This room is unoccupied on weekdays, and the pieces of paper on the windows and doors are a little damaged, and the cold wind is blowing and the pieces of paper are rattling.

But there is no reason for the wind to blow out of the house.

Tao Chan turned around with a gloomy face, and a woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab appeared on the north wall for no reason.

It seems to be embedded in the wall, and the body and the wall are now one.

Seeing this, Tao Chan laughed and said: "It seems that there are indeed a lot of things staring at this body, and it really makes the old Taoist priest's crow mouth right, but you, a little female ghost, dare to covet my things?"

Seeing the female ghost move, its body suddenly appeared behind Tao Chan, stretching out its slender jade hand and grabbing Tao Chan's neck.

The weakness on Tao Chan's body disappeared suddenly, and a huge face grew out of thin air behind him with his fists clenched, his mouth opened to occupy half of the huge face, but instead of teeth, many arms grew on his gums, stretching out and tearing female ghosts one after another.

The female ghost stepped back, her giant face chasing, and her arms stretched out more.

Tao Chan didn't reply, and smiled softly: "Don't leave if you come." ”

The giant face let out a sudden howl, and then thud as if something had shattered.

Hearing this, Tao Cicada's face tightened, and he clicked his toes on the ground and turned back quickly.

The giant face shattered, and the red hijab on the female ghost's head was torn apart by it, revealing an ugly face covered with hideous wounds.

And a cat.

Black cat.

The black cat's tail stood up, and he stood there waving his front paws in a mess, glaring at him with a 'I'm super fierce' look.

Tao Chan had seen this black cat, and when he saw the black cat appear, he immediately gasped: "It's broken!"

Two figures landed in the courtyard one after another, and a burly figure was climbing over the wall.

There were two people standing on the wall, one was a Taoist priest with a fairy wind bone, and the other was a fierce man with a big sword, and there was a handsome and delicate young man between the two.

The six people who had already left had returned.

Xu Da climbed the wall and jumped down, carrying the wood-burning divine knife and rushing forward: "Demon, eat the uncle's knife!"

Tao Chan's figure rushed off the roof and stood up, he looked at Wang Qilin in distress and shouted, "Why are you back again?"

Wang Qilin said: "We felt that you had a problem, so we came back to take a look, and it turned out that you really had a problem." ”

'Tao Chan' didn't quibble about anything, he smiled bitterly: "Where did I show my horse's feet? I thought I imitated Tao Chan very similarly, how could you outsiders who have never seen him see the problem?"

Wang Qilin took out the little yellow book and shook it and said, "I really don't see anything wrong with the Tao Cicada you imitated, I only see that you have a problem in the illusion world." ”

"Tao Chan entered the Illusory Realm to seek immortality, he is just an ordinary scholar, how many days have he been in the Illusory Realm to become the master of the Illusory Realm?

"You shouldn't show off your control of the illusion world, at that time I began to suspect that you are not the real Tao Cicada, but the spirit of learning Tianlu!"

"Besides, we don't know Tao Chan, and you don't know much about him. You don't know what he did before he fell into a coma, you told me in the morning that he was ashamed of his ancestors so he didn't dare to enter the ancestral house, but you didn't know that Tao Chan wanted to see his wife Tao before he fell into a coma, and he finally saw Tao. ”

Wang Qilin wanted to say more, but Zhuang Mengdie was already impatient and shouted: "Demon, where did my cicada brother go? Where are you trapping him? Release him!"

Li Xue Tianlu said helplessly: "Don't wronged people, I didn't trap him, and now I don't know where he went, everything he has now is the result of his death!"

Zhuang Mengdie roared excitedly: "You don't want to bewitch the people, Lord Wang, Xie Zhenren, you hurry up and arrest him!"

Li Xuetianlu shouted: "Slow down, don't do it yet, I'm a monster, but I haven't harmed anyone!"

"Where's Tao Chan?" Xie Toad asked.

Wang Qilin flipped through the paper of the pamphlet and shouted: "Look at the handwriting left by these people, you still say that you have not harmed anyone?"

Li Xue Tianlu said unhappily: "Where did the words on the paper say that I have killed people? I am also transformed by Rui Beast, how can I harm people to reduce my own blessings and cause disaster for myself?"

"Take this Tao Cicada as an example, this body is what he doesn't want, I just picked up a rag!"

Zhuang Mengdie shouted: "What a clever man with sharp teeth and clever words! Tao Chan doesn't want this body?"

Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Zhuang Gongzi, don't worry. Feng Ya Demon, the old Taoist and ask you, is Tao Chan infected with a vicious disease, so he is afraid of death and wants to cultivate the way of immortality. ”

However, he soon found that the way of immortality was unreliable, so he changed his mind and changed it to a golden cicada that broke out of its shell and took its body for his own life. ”

Zhuang Mengdie couldn't stand it anymore when she heard this, and immediately wanted to interrupt him.

But Gu Feng blocked his words and shook his head at him: "Childe, keep watching." ”

Zhuang Mengdie stomped her feet angrily, her face full of anxiety.

Li Xuetianlu was also stamping his feet, and he was stomping his feet happily: "That's right! Taoist priest, you are really powerful, how do you know the truth?"

Xie Toad smiled bitterly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, so that's the case! No wonder Lao Dao felt that everything didn't make sense before, no wonder Lao Dao couldn't figure out how he could fall at the door of the ancestral mansion with great fortune for no reason. ”

"No wonder he wants to say to his wife, but he will open his eyes all night long and repay his life for not raising his eyebrows!"

Wang Qilin immediately reacted: "The soul in Tao's body is Tao Cicada's?"

Li Xuetianlu looked at them in horror and said, "You guys are really amazing, you actually guessed the truth?"

He said quickly: "Here's the thing, Tao Chan fell into the fear of death after his father's death, and suspected that he had a dark ghost, and he wanted to live a long life, so he secretly took various tonic medicines in private. ”

"It turned out to be a matter of three parts, and his body was finally poisoned!"

"He first approached me and wanted to cultivate the Immortal Dao, but he didn't want to stay in my Illusion Realm, he wanted to live in the Yang World and still be able to cultivate the Immortal Dao, isn't this too beautiful?

"Knowing that I couldn't let him live forever in the Yang World, he left my Illusory World, and instead, as the Dao Master said, he changed his way to continue living in the Yang World. ”

"I don't know exactly how, but it does have something to do with his wife, because he once asked me something-"

"Can you let his wife's ghost enter the illusion world!"

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad in embarrassment and said, "It's bad, it's not easy to handle things now." ”

Li Xue Tianlu hurriedly said: "The matter has nothing to do with me, I just know that this body is useless, and I don't want to be a Fengya demon forever, so I plan to look like Tao Chan and let you take me out and attach it to him." ”

"And after I came out, I also presided over justice, I scolded Tao Cicada in Tao's body in the afternoon, scolded him for being wolf-hearted and dog-hearted, and harming his wife, but he was very good at acting, he pretended to be innocent and cried, and said that I was crazy!"

Wang Qilin asked suspiciously, "How do you know that we are going to enter your illusion realm to find Tao Chan?"

Li Xuetianlu sneered: "I'm a monster, my body is the book in your hand, you guard my body and speak, of course I can hear and see." ”

Xie Toad nodded.

Wang Qilin groaned and said to Xie Toad: "Dao Master, you first watch him here, I'll go and bring Tao over, and then we will investigate specifically." ”

"I'll go!" Zhuang Mengdie hurriedly said, "You guys stay here together, don't let him escape with Tao Chan's body!"

He had a deep relationship with Tao Chan, and in case of accidents, he quickly called Tao over.

Wang Qilin looked at Tao carefully.

There is nothing wrong with that.

He looked at Xie Toad, and Xie Toad also frowned: "Immeasurable Tianzun, her soul is stable, and she doesn't look like she has been taken away." ”

Dow was confused and dazed.

However, she has been reading since she was a child, and when she saw that everyone who should have left returned to her study, she knew that the matter about her husband had not been resolved, so she asked: "My lords, Zhuang Gongzi, is there any problem with my family Langjun?"

Li Xue Tianlu shouted at her: "Don't pretend, you are not Tao, you are Tao Cicada!"

Hearing his words, Tao couldn't help but hide his face and cry: "Your Excellency, but you are returning because my family Langjun is crazy? After my family Langjun woke up, he said that he is not him, I am him, is he crazy?"

Xie Toad tore up his beard in distress and tore off several in a row.

Wang Qilin asked Tao: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, please recall carefully, after your husband fell into a coma, did you have any strange experiences?"

Tao said sadly: "No, the experience of the slave family is just miserable, not strange. ”

The slave family's husband suddenly fell into a coma, the slave family was originally pregnant with the Tao family's blood, but when he saw the husband in a coma, the slave family was overly sad and lost the child in the womb. ”

Since then, the slave family has felt that his spirit is in a trance from time to time, and sometimes he will subconsciously do something, and when he looks back, he forgets what he did. Sometimes I'm talking to someone, but I quickly come back to my senses and forget what I said......"

Tao said and cried again: "Could it be that the slave family has also lost their hearts and gone crazy?"

Wang Qilin and Xie Toad spoke almost at the same time:

"Have you ever been pregnant with a child?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, are you sure you lost your child because of excessive sadness?"

Dow nodded gloomily.

Wang Qilin muttered: "But I will open my eyes all night long and repay my life for not raising my eyebrows!"

"Whoever says an inch is careless, he will be rewarded with three Chunhui!"

"I probably know the truth. ”

Xie Toad smiled bitterly: "The ancestor of the Tao family, it is really upright!"

Zhuang Mengdie looked at the two of them in confusion and asked, "Seventh Master, Zhenren, what are you two talking about?"

Wang Qilin said with a straight face: "If Lixue Tianlu is telling the truth......

"Of course it is!" exclaimed Li Xue Tianlu, "I can make a heavenly oath!"

Wang Qilin was about to speak, when Xie Toad suddenly flew to Tao and flicked his sleeves, Tao suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground with his legs weak.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mengdie asked, "Is there really a problem with Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Wang Qilin understood his intentions, and said with a wry smile: "Dao Ye is protecting her and letting her know the truth, which may be too cruel for her." ”

Zhuang Mengdie asked, "What is the truth?"

Wang Qilin said: "Tao Chan does want to change his body, but he doesn't want to change it to his wife, he wants to change it to the child in his wife's womb!"

"So he wrote a picture to his wife, 'But I will open my eyes all night long, and repay my life for not raising my eyebrows'! When will a woman not raise her eyebrows in her life? There are many reasons for this, and the loss of a child is one of them!"

"He also left another word, 'I am willing to repay Sanchunhui with an inch of grass'. With this clear will, he said that he would repay Tao's mother in the future. ”

But in the end, his plan did not succeed, he failed to occupy his child's body, the child was gone, and his soul was gone, but after all, it affected Dow, causing her to be in a trance from time to time. ”

Xie Toad said: "His soul is not gone, it still exists, but it is trapped in Tao's body. Therefore, Tao sometimes goes into a trance, and that's because Tao Cicada's soul sometimes competes for the right to control his body. ”

"The reason why the child is gone is not that Tao is too sad, but that the ancestor of the Tao family saw that Tao Chan had done something disobedient to others, and beat the child in a fit of rage, so that he could not complete the plan. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Tao Chan's ghost left his body at the door of his house, and he thought that with the help of the blessing of the ancestors, he could smoothly change his body. As a result, he underestimated the righteousness of his ancestors, and his ancestors would rather cut off their bloodline than allow him to mess with the ethics of the Gangchang. ”

Xie Toad sighed: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, people are not as good as heaven." The Tao family has ancestors blessed yin, and Tao Chan may be fine if he honestly heals after discovering that he has a problem with his body, but he chose the wrong path!"

"Heaven is still against evil, but self-inflicted evil is not allowed!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Mengdie was dumbfounded: "How can this be?"

Xie Toad said: "To prove that this matter is not difficult, the old Taoist priest can lure out the yin soul trapped in Tao Cicada's body. ”

Zhuang Mengdie's eyes lit up.

Xie Toad continued: "But don't have any hope for him, the Yin Soul has been away from the body for so long, even if it returns to the body, it will not be able to merge with the body normally, and the best result is that Tao Chan will become a fool." ”

Li Xue Tianlu shouted, "What about me?"

Xie Toad said coldly: "You are not the owner of this body, where did you come from, where do you go back, otherwise you will be beaten to death by us!"

Li Xue Tianlu's face suddenly turned hideous, and he said sharply: "I see that you don't take my Rui Beast Tianlu in your eyes?

Wang Qilin pinched the sword technique, and the eight swords behind him shook rapidly, and the sword spikes swayed, like colorful waves.

Li Xue Tianlu roared: "It's too much deception, I just want to use this body, anyway, this body has been destroyed, you let his Yin Soul come back, his body will continue to break, but I can make it back to normal in my hands!"

Wang Qilin shouted: "No one else can snatch your things, and you can't rob your things if they are not yours!"

Li Xuetianlu stared at him deadly, and suddenly his body fell to the ground weakly.

A shadow quickly faded away.

Wang Qilin held up the little yellow book and shouted, "Your body is here, I can give it back to you!"

Li Xuetianlu's voice drifted back with the night wind: "I know who you are, you owe me, I will take it back myself! I will come back, wait for my revenge, king! seven! Lin !!"
