Wang Qilin returned to the post house with his front foot, and Meng Zhongxian came with Dr. Meng on the back foot, and also carried a bag of pastries......

The black beans that were happily nibbling on a mooncake sniffed, and then smiled happily: "It's the taste of chestnut crisp." ”

Meng Zhongxian yelled at Wang Qilin, Wang Qilin didn't want to make things too ugly, he said: "Lord Meng, I don't want to make you ugly and dare not interfere with your work, but you already know the situation, Dr. Meng's character is really despicable, I can't stand it!"

Xie Toad and Xu Da also already knew what was going on, Black Bean was the little baby of the post house, and when they saw him being bullied, they came up to help.

Xie Toad stroked his beard first and said: ""Yi Chuan, Xiang Chuan, Qian" has clouds, there are mountains in the earth, and he is humble. We Taoists all know that a gentleman loses more and loses less, and he has to weigh all kinds of things and then learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to make them even. Are peasant children supposed to plow the land all their lives? Can't they find a way out by studying?"

"The Book of Changes has clouds, the sky is strong, the gentleman is self-improving, the terrain is good, and the gentleman is virtuous. Dr. Meng has selfish virtues but no virtues, how can such a person be worthy of the important task of a doctor? How can he teach the children the way of a gentleman and the way of being a man!"

Xu shouted: "Let me ask Master Meng, what kind of livelihood did your ancestors make for the last three generations?"

Meng Zhongxian proudly hugged his fists and said: "The Meng family is passed down from Liu Bei's account during the Three Kingdoms period, and Yidu County is too shou Mengda, and he inherits his family with poetry and books, and he inherits his ......family with loyalty and filial piety."

"I'm not asking about your ancestors, I'm asking about your ancestors for three generations, what did your grandfather do?" Xu Da interrupted him and asked.

Meng Zhongxian said in a low-key manner: "Grandpa Benguan is a teacher. ”

Xu Da sneered: "Is he famous?"

Meng Zhongxian stopped talking.

The previous dynasty regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, and there were only a handful of Han people in each county who could study and gain fame.

Xu Da said: "If you don't have a reputation, you are a farmer, and Dr. Meng's previous words also scolded Master Meng." ”

Dr. Meng hurriedly shouted, "The student doesn't dare, the student and Master Meng are cousins, how can I scold my grandfather?"

Xu Da suddenly became even more angry: "It turns out that you are also a peasant, so now you have obtained a reputation and become a petty official, and then you will cut off the way of other peasants who want to study and become an official? Fuck, you old thief ......?"

"Ahem, Lord Xu, speak civilly. Wang Qilin gave him a look.

Xu Da changed his tone and said: "Wu Caoye, the first husband of Ru Zhihao, unload the mill and kill the donkey, no, cross the river and tear down the bridge! How can your grandfather have such an unfilial descendant as you? What kind of face do you have to see your grandfather when you die?"

Shen Yi came out of the back hall and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" Amitabha, I heard you scolding, hurry up, tell me what's going on, the spray monk has not been able to scold people in the past two days, his lips are itchy, hurry up and let me have a good time." ”

Black Bean was stunned, did the elders like Beans so much? Beans were wronged, were the elders so angry?

But what did Dou suffer from? He hugged the moon cake and fell into deep thought.

Wang Qilin said: "Forget it, even if this matter is over, don't say too much, let's go their own way." ”

Meng Zhongxian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Lord Wang for your magnanimity, Lord Wang, Dr. Meng has poor personal morality, which I don't deny, but his knowledge is first-class good, and his patience in teaching children is also first-class good, so ......"

"So it's better to be like this," Wang Qilin's heart moved, "Let Mr. Meng resign from the doctor's position first, and come to teach my nephew to try, if he is really good at learning and teaching my nephew well, then we will think about it in the long run." ”

Meng Zhongxian looked at his cousin Meng Zhongyi beside him, and Meng Zhongyi saluted and smiled bitterly: "But it is driven by Lord Wang." ”

Fuck you, what else can I say now?, he scolded indignantly in his heart.

The matter was settled, and the two brothers of the Meng family said goodbye and left.

In the middle of the night, another rain fell.

The autumn rain continued, and the rain was not over until the morning, and Meng Zhongyi braved the rain to teach.

He entered the post house with a thick stack of books but couldn't find black beans, so he asked, "What about the old man's students?"

Mu Xi smiled: "I work at the other door." ”

"Part-time job, what kind of work does he do at a young age?" Meng Zhongyi went out to look, and saw the small figure of Black Bean holding a big bowl, and his feet were busy working in a breakfast shop without touching the ground:

"Uncle, your ravioli. ”

"Uncle, do you want tofu brain? Do you want salty? No, no, salty is not delicious, sweet is delicious. ”

"Uncle, come here, there is everything here, make sure you are comfortable!"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong's beard trembled, he strode over and stretched out his hand to grab the black beans and was about to belittle the merchants, but suddenly remembered the loss he suffered yesterday because he despised the peasants, so he changed his angle and said: "The gentleman is far away from the cook, it is insulting to Sven, you are insulting to Sven." What about Lord Wang, I'm going to sue him!"

Heidou asked, "Is the Lord Wang you said an uncle?"

"Yes!"

Heidou pointed to the house and said, "He's helping to cut bones in the kitchen, and today Aunt Suisui wants to stew a very fragrant big bone broth to make cakes." ”

"Lord Wang in the kitchen?"

"Yes!"

Meng Zhongyi swallowed his saliva and fell into despair.

Wang Qilin was using the Taiyin Soul Breaking Knife to chop bones quickly, and suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Seventh Master, Seventh Master, something!"

"What's the matter?" Wang Qilin heard Yang Dazui's voice and asked casually, "Is there any information from monitoring Duowen Temple?"

"No, it's the Parrot Island that has disappeared in the river for many years has reappeared!" Yang shouted.

Suisui Niangzi took the knife and said, "Uncle, you have to go ahead and get busy." ”

Wang Qilin wiped his hands and went out and asked, "What Parrot Continent?"

Yang Dazui said: "There are some small islands in the Jixiang River, you know, right? The largest one in it is called Parrot Island, but many years ago there was a big flood in the Jixiang River, and then the water receded and the river island was gone, and the county chronicle said that it was washed away by the big water, but just this morning, someone sent a letter saying that this river island appeared again!"

Wang Qilin became vigilant and said, "Although the autumn rain has been continuous recently, there has been no heavy rainstorm, how can there be an inexplicable appearance of Hezhou?"

Yang Dazui said: "Yes, so this thing is very weird, the common people say that this parrot island is carried by a big king, this big king is the river god, and it has appeared again." ”

The Suisui lady who came out to pour the water said with a smile: "The people like to talk about strange rumors the most, and the three of them become tigers, I'm afraid that someone made up the story." ”

Wang Qilin said: "No, it is groundless, folk rumors will not spread for no reason, you have to pay attention to the statement about this parrot continent, there may be some information in it that is useful." ”

Yang Dazui said admiringly: "The seventh master is really a god operator, that's right, this rumor really didn't appear for no reason, it was a few poor fishermen who floated on the Jixiang River all year round to fish, last night they suddenly had the same dream, that is, a big king eight appeared, telling them where there are many fish and where the water is deep." ”

"There is also a family, his child drowned a few days ago, but the body has not been found, last night their husband and wife also had the same dream, the dream is still a big king eight appeared, told them where the child's body was entangled in the water and weeds, but the couple took their relatives to that place just after dawn, and sure enough, they found the body of their son. ”

There were many people eating in front of the breakfast stall, and it was surprising to hear this, and rumors about the mountains and wilderness began to brew.

Wang Qilin said: "Go and see, in addition, listen to your meaning, there is a river god in the river, and then you always call people the king eight, so that you are not afraid of being retaliated by the river god in the future?"

Yang was startled and said, "Seventh Master, I'm just repeating the original words of the informant, the River God Master won't trouble me, right?"

Wang Qilin smiled: "Don't worry, the river god won't be so stingy, otherwise it wouldn't be a god." ”

Yang asked with a big mouth and anxiety: "Then can you beat the river god?"

Wang Qilin said proudly: "Regardless of it, the mountain god and the river god, as long as you dare to do evil, I can destroy it!"

In the corner of the stall, an ugly and sturdy young man snorted: "If your mouth is on the cow's belly, you can really brag." ”

A man with two mustaches on his mouth whispered, "Huang Gongzi, you can shut up!"

Wang Qilin and Xie Toad put on their robes and hats and rode out of the city, without leading the way, running down the Jixiang River, and soon saw a group of people braving the rain on the riverside to watch the excitement.

The enthusiasm is extraordinary.

The rain curtain is continuous, and the smoke cage river surface, the flowing auspicious river seems to be locked by rain.

Through the gray rain curtain, Wang Qilin really saw a small island in the river, with stone houses on it and boats moored around.

There were already officials maintaining order, and a loud voice was shouting at the river: "Whoever dares to go out of the boat will sit in the prison! Whoever dares to go to the continent will be in the prison!"

"You are not allowed to go to Parrot Island, no, no one!"

"Row the boat back to me, and want to go sightseeing in the prison, don't you?"

Wang Qilin dismounted with a smile and said, "Who is shouting here? It's quite rhyming." ”

There was a boat parked on the shore, Yang Dazui beckoned, and an old man rowed over.

After Wang Qilin got on the boat, he asked, "Old man, what's going on with this Parrot Island?"

The old man helped the hat and said, "We also wondered, when we came to fish this morning, we saw this parrot island appear." ”

"That's what it came out of this morning?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, we only came here this morning, and this area was occupied by strong men before, and we were not allowed to get close, so we haven't been here for a long time." ”

Wang Qilin nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Who is the strongman who controls here, do you know?"

The old man shook his head again: "I don't know, anyway, they are very domineering, whoever dares to row over, will be sunk and beaten." We dare to come here today because last night the river god said that there are many fish here, and let our poor people come to fish. ”

The auspicious river is not a big river, and a few words of kung fu arrived in front of Parrot Island.

There are obvious traces of man-made operations on Parrot Island, not only houses, but also the construction of a dock and a small piece of farmland, on which if there were fewer people, they would be self-sufficient.

Wang Qilin went up to the dock and saw Xie Toad pinching his fingers.

He asked, "Did the Daoist find anything wrong?"

Xie Toad said: "There used to be a water array in this place, and Parrot Island never disappeared, it should be that someone took advantage of the heavy rain and flooding to set up a formation to hide Xiaozhou, so there are usually people who guard the vicinity and do not let the fishermen approach, they are afraid that the fishermen's boats will accidentally hit Xiaozhou and discover this secret." ”

Wang Qilin stepped on the Xiaozhou pier and first saw a collapsed flagpole and a former dragon flag that fell to the ground.

Seeing this, he was shocked: the remnants of the previous dynasty!

Now he can't let the people go to Xiaozhou, he said to Yang Dazui: "Go back and inform Xu Da quickly, let him quickly inform us that Lord Tiewei is coming to Jixiang County!"

Yang said with a big mouth: "Do you want the fast horse of the Yamen?"

Wang Qilin said: "We don't need to be fast to contact the Fucheng Station, there are secret treasures available. ”

The secret treasure they use is a strange worm, called the green worm, the mother and child are closely connected, there is a record in the "Huainan Wanbi Technique", saying that "with its children and mothers, put it in the urn and bury it under the eastward Yin wall, and open it after three days, that is, follow each other." Eighty-one coins with the blood of the mother, and eighty-one coins with the blood of the son, and the money is more intertwined. The mother is used for the child, and the mother is used for the child, and the money is repaid. ”

This is talking about the money of the worm, which is smeared with the blood of the mother worm and the child worm, so that the money coated with the blood of the mother worm is collected and the money coated with the blood of the child worm is slain, and the money will fly back by itself afterwards.

In the same way, if you put away the money coated with the blood of the child worm and spend the money coated with the blood of the mother worm, it will fly back on its own.

The "Inner Stroke" chapter of "Guiguzi" also describes this: "With its intention, if you want to enter, you will enter, and if you want to go out, you will go out, and if the mother of the worm follows her son." ”

Listening to the heavens is directly used by the green worms, not to kill them, but to let them fall into a deep sleep, the county post house holds the subworm under the mother worm of the city, so that something important happens, as long as the worm is awakened on it and posted a small letter on it, it will automatically fly into the mother worm, and then the people of the post house of the prefecture will recognize which county the subworm that flew back belongs to, and it can come directly.

Xie Toad looked at the stone houses and asked, "Do you want to go in and search?"

Wang Qilin shook his head: "The matter involves rebellion, this is a serious case, and we may not be qualified to participate, so it's better to be honest and wait for the arrival of Wan Daren." ”

He's got a good plan, but he can change faster.

When someone learned that the heavenly supervisor had arrived, he rowed forward and bowed down at the bow of the boat: "My lord, my lord, help!"

Wang Qilin asked, "What's the matter?"

The one who kowtowed was a fisherman with a bitter face, and he said in a panic: "My lord, my brother came to the island in the morning, and he disappeared!"

Wang Qilin's color suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "Who let you go to the island?"

The fisherman said with a sad face: "I'm sorry for my lord, the villain and his brother rowed here, and saw the traces of human habitation on the island, so my brother was curious, and our brother got the guidance of the river god last night, and came here to fish in the morning, and he didn't care about eating and rebelling, and he was very hungry, so he wanted to go up and borrow a fire to grill a fish, but he never came out again." ”

"Then after your brother went up, he disappeared directly?"

"No, he went up and told me that there were people here, and he saw that someone was waving at him, and he wanted to borrow a fire, and also to inquire about what was going on here, but the other person was gone. ”

Parrot Island is surrounded by weeds, and there are dozens of stone houses of all sizes, which stand alone in the rain curtain, with a sense of silence and gloom.

The river made a rattling sound, and the rain fell on the river and made a 'crackling' sound, but there was no sound on Parrot Island.

Wang Qilin had long felt weird, so he didn't rush up to search for meritorious service.

But now that a fisherman is missing from it, he can't stay out of it anymore.

He said to Xie Toad: "Dao Chief, you help me sweep the formation, I'll take a look." ”

Saying that, he took out ninety-six and put it on the boat, the little tengu is still a little licking dog, and now he is still breastfeeding, he has no combat effectiveness, and he will only get in the way with it.

Xie Toad said: "My lord, you can bring Jiuliu, the tengu can ward off evil, and the cry can ward off evil spirits." ”

Ninety-six's fur was drenched in the rain, and it felt uncomfortable and shrank into a ball and shouted: "Six-six, six-six-six." ”

Eight Meow bravely came out, stood on Wang Qilin's shoulder, and raised his eyebrows, making a posture of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.

Wang Qilin followed Xie Toad's instructions and took Jiuliu, but the legs of this little thing were very short, and after walking a few steps, its belly was full of muddy water, and it felt uncomfortable, so it lay down and exposed its belly to bask in the sun, but the white-haired girl who lay down turned into a little earth dog.

He had no choice but to take Jiuliu into his arms first, and just as he was bending over, he heard footsteps in front of him.

The footsteps were fast, and the sound of 'chirp, chirp' sounded when stepping on the waterlogged stone road on the riverbank.

It's clear.

Wang Qilin raised his head violently, and as far as his eyes could see, a figure disappeared into a stone house at the very end.

He knew that this figure wanted to lure him deep into the river island, but he didn't let the other party's conspiracy succeed, and wanted to go back to the boat first to take a boat to the back of the stone house where the figure disappeared, and enter the stone house nearby, so that if there were ambushes in other stone houses, he would not be able to hurt him.

Thirty-six plans, Gou is the best plan.

But as soon as he turned around, the situation changed!

Xie Toad is gone, the boat moored next to the pier is gone, and the people watching the excitement by the river are gone.

He was surrounded by rain and fog!

Even he couldn't see the surface of the river anymore, as if he had suddenly left Parrot Island and went to another place, a place full of rain and fog.

Only the stone houses have not changed, and they still stand silently on the ground.

Wang Qilin suddenly understood: no wonder he felt very lonely when he looked at these stone houses before, obviously a small river island, there were dozens of stone houses on it, it should be crowded enough, but at first glance, he felt that they were lonely.

If it were the current environment, it would make sense, there are only a few dozen stone houses in the misty world, and although the stone houses are crowded together, there are still too few......

The rain fell on the roof of the stone house and flowed down the eaves, and the raindrops hit the bluestone slab like a small transparent flower.

A small flower blooms.

Another small flower blooms.

Countless small flowers are blooming.

Wang Qilin clenched his demon sword and asked in a deep voice, "Dao Chief, can you hear me?"

The sound seemed to be absorbed by the rain curtain, and he didn't feel like it was coming far.

It reminded him of an anomaly he had noticed earlier, the sound of the river was so clear, but the island was silent......

Eight Meow helped him call around: "Meow meow!"

Ninety-six squeezed the water and blistered his eyes, and not to be outdone, opened his mouth and let out a milky cry: "Six-six-six, six-six-six!"

Despite the treacherous environment, Wang Qilin still wanted to laugh.

The tengu cry is really unusual, this is a non-mainstream spirit animal.

It stands to reason that the tengu cry can ward off evil spirits, but the environment has not changed much after the ninety-six call, Wang Qilin doesn't know if the ninety-six is too small and the power of the cry is insufficient, or the environment here is not actually a demon, but what kind of array Xie Toad said.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, he took off his coat, took off his cloak, buckled the demon knife and walked forward lightly.

Yameow jumped down and walked in front of him to find his way.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "Eight meows are very brave!"

Eight Meow squinted at the ninety-six eyes in his arms, and his little eyes were very contemptuous!

The stone houses were in front of him, but he didn't enter the stone houses after walking dozens of steps, and these stone houses were still in front of him.

"Eight meows, keep up with me!" he took a deep breath and rushed towards the stone house, King Kong practicing magic and preparing to start.

As a result, he didn't walk a few dozen steps just now and didn't reach the stone house group, and this time he rushed in one breath in a wild run.

Eccentric!

Wang Qilin braked urgently, but the bluestone slab was very smooth in the rain, and Bameow ran too fast and didn't brake the car for a while, and slid forward several steps.

In the end, the butt sat on the ground, just like ice skating.

His face was dazed.

Wang Qilin wanted to laugh, but the sound of footsteps came into his ears: "Papapa!" "Papapa!"

The footsteps were urgent.

But he's stopped!
