Xie Toad's words confused Wang Qilin.

He asked rhetorically, "Master Dao, do you mean, we have been cheated again?"

Xie Toad nodded heavily.

Wang Qilin was furious: "Is it really anyone who can cheat us?" Come, what's the matter, you tell me well, how can we let people cheat this time?"

Xie Toad asked, "Do you know about my Taoist family's beheading of three corpses?"

Everyone nodded: "I've heard about the book." ”

"Is it possible for a person to behead three corpses to become an immortal?"

"What is becoming an immortal? is becoming a saint!

"Brother, tell me carefully, how old?"

Xie Toad shook his head and said: "Storytellers don't understand Taoist practice, just tell stories, Taoism is not so powerful to kill three corpses, three corpses are three desires, cut them in order to break through the realm of cultivation, and enter the innate the day after tomorrow." ”

"The three corpses are also called the three corpse insects, and the Taoist book "Dream Three Corpses Say" says: There are three corpse insects in the human body, three insects in the upper corpse, three insects in the middle corpse, and three insects in the lower corpse. ”

"Among them, the corpse insect is named Peng Hou, and in the human head, it is stupid and stupid, and has no wisdom. ”

"The corpse insect is named Peng, and in the human chest, it is troublesome and delusional, and it cannot be quiet. ”

"The corpse insect is named Peng Jiao, and in the human belly, it makes people covet the desires of men and women. ”

"Wait," Xu Da interrupted him and said, "Seventh Master, this is a bit like the three souls of a person?"

Wang Qilin nodded, to be precise, the three corpse insects were like the three souls in reverse.

People have three souls, fetal light, refreshing spirit, and ghostly spirit.

Among them, the main life of the fetus, and the long-term residence of the human body can make the mind refreshed, prolong life, and in turn, it is the middle corpse insect Peng quality.

The spirit of the cool spirit is wise, and it can make people plan all things, and in turn it is the corpse insect Peng Hou.

The ghost spirit master controls it, which can make people control the desire for wine and preserve the spirit, and in turn it is the corpse insect Peng Jiao.

Xie Toad nodded and said: "There is indeed some connection between the two, but what we want to say has to be explained in detail, we don't have time for the time being, the old Taoist priest will talk about this game first." ”

"The Jin Yangzi you killed is Peng Jiao, one of his three corpses, a corpse worm, which has no substance, like a ghost. ”

"And the corpse insect is arrogant and lascivious, and it is interested in both men and women, so it will want to ravage you when it sees you. ”

"The purpose of this bureau is for us to help Jin Yangzi cut off the three corpses and break the realm!"

"If the old Taoist priest didn't guess wrong, Jin Yangzi is still alive, and he has not been able to enter the innate from the acquired realm for a long time, so he decided to refine the three corpse insects and break through the cultivation by cutting the three corpses!"

"But Jin Yangzi's predecessor is my righteous path master, if he beheads three corpses and breaks through the realm to enter the innate realm, wouldn't this dynasty have one more help to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty?" Shen San asked in confusion.

Xie Toad said: "What is this bureau for, the old Taoist priest is not easy to say, maybe this bureau was not set up by the remnants of the previous dynasty, but Jin Yangzi or someone related to him wanted to find someone to help him cut off the three corpses and break the realm, so he brought us here." ”

Xu Da reacted and asked, "Houmen, is Houmen designing us?"

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." It may also be that Jin Yangzi has been out of the rivers and lakes for 20 years, who knows where he has been?

Wang Qilin said: "Dao Ye, how did you make this judgment? Is it because Jin Yangzi is lustful?"

Xie Toad said slowly: "No, it was the old Taoist priest who suddenly understood what the jade eggs in the jade box that Zhao Rongsheng gave you tonight were. ”

"That's also a three-corpse insect of Jin Yangzi, if my guess is right, it should be Peng Hou, the corpse worm!"

"Isn't it the treasure of the old eunuch led by Huangquan Prison?" Xu Da asked, "That's what Yang You told us at the time, saying that this is the baby of Grandpa Wan of Laoshizi......

Speaking of this, he nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, the father-in-law's baby is a worm." ”

Shen Yi touched the back of his head and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Da whispered a few words to him, and laughed violently: "That squirting monk's baby is not a worm, haha, it's a snake!"

"Yes, you're a snake, a vegetable snake. ”

"Why the rookie snake?"

"Don't eat meat. ”

Wang Qilin couldn't help it, and forcibly endured the pain and punched each of them: "When have you stepped on the horse, are you still making yellow tongues here? Do you know that we have been cheated?"

Shen Yi said: "It's you, the seventh master, who they want to pit, not us." Anyway, Seventh Master, you seem to have been cheated several times? Do you want to go to fortune telling, the monk thinks that you are missing the five elements, so someone always comes to send you a pit. ”

"Shut up!"

Wang Qilin turned the topic back and asked Xie Toad, "You said that the jade egg is a corpse worm?"

Xie Toad said: "The jade egg is imprisoned in a jade box, and the box is written with a beetle character, and Xu Ye explained this word a lot that day, but he forgot its meaning in ancient times." ”

"The old Taoist priest was also careless, and was brought into the pit by his so-called Confucian disciples, just listening to him......"

"Master Dao, our own people, it's not appropriate for you to put a basin on my head at this time, right? Xu Da said unhappily.

Xie Toad ignored him and said to himself: "The ancient work "Da Dai Li Ji" records that the ancients called all things that can give birth to spiritual wisdom insects, collectively known as the five insects, which are beetles, scales, hair, feathers, and kun. ”

"Yes, yes, that's true," Xu Da added decently, "In fact, this kind of title has also been passed down to the present, you see that the people in the mountains call the tiger the big worm, and the people in the southern wilderness call the snake the long worm." ”

"And what is a silverfish?"

"Silverfish without hair or feathers are humans, earthworms, toads, loaches, and some scaleless fish. Xie Toad said.

"So it's not actually a jade box, it's a cage, a cage that traps insects, and what was trapped before was the corpse worm!"

"According to the old Taoist's guess, it should be Jin Yangzi who released the three corpse insects in order to break through the realm, and originally wanted to kill them in order to enter the innate world. ”

"But I don't know what went wrong, the three corpse insects ran out one after another, and the corpse insects were muddy, cruel and murderous, and they should have been touched by the Xingtian Sacrifice, and the Xingtian Sacrifice subdued and condensed the corpse insects into jade eggs, and trapped them in a jade box cage. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Huangquan Jian didn't know how to know this news, so he asked Yang You to sneak in to find this thing?"

"No, Master Dao, this can't be said, if the jade egg is a corpse worm, then how can Zhao Rongsheng's words be explained?"

"He said that as long as the jade egg is released, Yang You will be able to find it by himself, but why can Yang You find it? This is not Yang You's three corpse worms!"

Xie Toad hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhao Rongsheng doesn't know the truth, after releasing the corpse worm, it shouldn't be Yang You who can take the initiative to find it, but can know its news!"

"If the corpse insect is free, it will inevitably restore its nature and kill the Quartet, with the well-informed information of Huangquan Prison, can you still find it?"

Xu Da also guessed: "Seventh Master, Dao Master, will that Du Gongzi just find a corpse worm?"

Wang Qilin quickly understood what he meant: "The remnants of the previous dynasty want to wait for the twenty-eighth year of the lunar month to throw the corpse worm into the market and let it kill the Quartet?"

Xu Da nodded hurriedly.

This is a valid guess.

Once the corpse insect recovers its true body, it is the image of Jin Yangzi, and when he kills people indiscriminately in the market, it is indeed difficult for the imperial court to connect it with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The soldiers of the New Han Dynasty regarded themselves as the divine weapons of the Heavenly Empire, and let them slaughter the common people for no reason, even if they were foreign people, they had a hard time getting through the hurdles in their hearts.

Not everyone is as brutal and inhuman as the Dongying warriors, and the people cultivated by the Confucian environment are still different from the livestock raised by the law of the jungle on isolated islands.

Tonight's war is over, Wang Qilin arranged for Shen San to take people to the Lu family's old mansion to clean up the mess, and bring people back to the post house himself.

Four teams came to him to report the situation, but no one had fled.

Wang Qilin found that Ma Qingfeng was not there, but Hua Qingyi said blankly: "I don't know what happened just now, with a bell ringing, all the corpses brought by Master Ma fell to the ground." ”

Wu Wu nodded: "Yes, I have been to see the Seventh Master, it is so miserable, it is all on the street." ”

Wang Qilin pretended not to know: "Is there such a thing? You comfort him more, I need to rest now, so I won't visit him." ”

Turn around and run.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly asked Xie Toad: "Dao Ye, as you said, what we killed tonight was Jin Yangzi's corpse worm, and it is very likely that the remnants of the previous dynasty wanted to drive this corpse worm to kill last year, which is more in line with the news sent to us by Huang Junzi and Hou Men." ”

"Why are you speculating that this is a game, and that someone wants to take advantage of our game?"

Xie Toad said: "Because the remnants of the previous dynasty can't drive the corpse worms to help them do things, no one can drive the corpse worms to do things for themselves." ”

"Three corpse insects are not people!"

Wang Qilin was silent for a moment and said, "I think I might be able to drive him." ”

"Who gave you confidence?"

"The way the corpse looked at me gave me confidence. ”

Xu Da said: "Uncle can also drive him!"

Xie Toad and Wang Qilin looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Da said: "Uncle told him that if you come from behind, he can only come from behind!"

Wang Qilin said angrily: "This is called a no-choice, it's not your arrangement!"

When he returned to the inn, he found a room and slept in.

It happened that he had just bought the Nine Herbs Great Tonic Pill before he traveled, this pill had the miraculous effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, so Wang Qilin took one before going to bed.

He thought that it was fortunate that no one saw him taking this pill, otherwise wouldn't it confirm the rumors of his kidney deficiency?

Because of internal injuries, he slept lazily, and rarely slept until midday.

When he woke up, he found Wen Kui standing outside respectfully.

Wang Qilin wondered: "Master Wen, what are you waiting outside, can you wait for me to come out and say no?"

Wen Kui hugged his fists and said: "The seventh master needs to rest last night because the people of his hometown were injured in a bloody battle with a strong enemy, and it is natural for him to wait outside the door for a while. ”

Wang Qilin's bravery, toughness and integrity last night deeply touched him, and he was really convinced by this new iron captain.

Wen Kui didn't have anything to do with him, he just wanted to tell him the news that everything was normal in the township last night, and there were no houses rotting or strange deaths.

"It seems that the previous three tricks were committed by the corpse worms of the Lu family's old mansion?" Wang Qilin asked after hearing his report.

Wen Kui nodded and said, "It must have done it." ”

Wang Qilin asked Xie Toad: "Does the corpse worm have this ability?"

Xie Toad said: "It's hard to say this, the three corpse insects do have magical powers and can also make magic weapons." But the old Taoist priest felt strange, why did Jin Yangzi's corpse worm kill those three families in the township?"

The strong man brought the freshly cooked buns, and Wang Qilin pinched one in one hand and squatted on the ground and gnawed on it.

Xu Da also came out to eat, then took out a clove of garlic from his arms and muttered: "If you eat meat without garlic, the taste will be half less." ”

Wang Qilin nibbled on the bun and asked, "How is the excavation of the old well of the Lu family's old house?

Wen Kui said embarrassedly: "The wall of the old well was blown up and collapsed, and there are sparks underneath, I don't know if there are still explosives and saltpeter remains, so I can't dig it out." ”

Although saltpeter doesn't explode, it can burn, and it's just as powerful when burned.

"The whole Lu clan has been monitored, and then the Lu clan patriarch hanged himself. Wen Kui said respectfully.

Wang Qilin's mouth stopped chewing and asked, "The patriarch of the Lu clan committed suicide, when did he commit suicide?"

Wen Kui took a deep breath and said, "Last night." ”

Wang Qilin sneered: "Look at it, look at it, there is clearly a problem with this." Let's go, go and have a look after eating. ”

Before going out, he thought for a while, and then said, "You arrange for someone to guard the corpses next to the river, and we will go to see it later, let Dao Ye take a look." ”

In Shanzao Township, the Lu family and the Wang family are clearly distinguished, and the Lu family lives in the southwest corner, and there are no Wang people and other people here.

There was no farm work in the winter, and the Lu family stayed at home, so the Heavenly Supervisor sent Lux and You Xing to search along the street, and they were guarded.

Every house is a prison.

He walked to the southwest of the township, and Wen Kui introduced him to the orderly houses one by one.

The Lu family has developed well in Shanzao Township, I don't know if it is the good choice of feng shui or the blessing of the ancestors, the whole family has spread its branches, and now there are more than 50 families.

Wang Qilin asked Wen Kui to bring all these people over the age of 14 to the Lu ancestral hall, regardless of gender.

Hearing this news, an old man from the Lu family hurriedly came over, and when he saw Wang Qilin kneeling on the ground, he bowed: "My lord, my lord, women have to enter the ancestral shrine, this is the rule!"

Wang Qilin said lightly: "The people of the New Han Dynasty must not collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty to rebel, this is not only a rule, but also a national law!"

The old man looked up and asked blankly, "Dare to ask what you mean by this?"

Wang Qilin said expressionlessly: "Some of you Lu clan have colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty with the intention of rebellion, and according to the law of the country, they should be beheaded and the whole clan will be connected!"

The old man's face changed on the spot, and he kowtowed again and again: "My lord spares my life, my lord forgives my sins, my lord knows my sins, my lord knows my guilt! Where must there be a problem with this, our Lu family cultivates and reads heirlooms, is loyal to the monarch and loves the country, how can we collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty? There must be a misunderstanding in this!"

Wang Qilin said: "Old man, get up, it's useless for you to say this." The Lu clan did not collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty, so how could they hide in your Lu clan's old mansion?"

Next, he came up with the classic theory of the ruler when he bullied the ruled: "A slap can't make a sound." ”

"Besides, this official killed the remnants of the previous dynasty last night, and the patriarch of your Lu clan committed suicide that night, and now you tell me that your Lu clan has nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Wang Qilin looked at Xu Dadao: "Do you believe it?"

Xu Da shook his head firmly: "I don't believe it!"

Wang Qilin asked Wen Kui, Ma Qingfeng and the others: "Do you believe it?"

The group shook their heads: "I don't believe it!"

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand at the old man and said, "Look, the big guys don't believe it. ”

The old man said with a sad face: "My lord, my lord, this matter must be very strange, but the grass people and others really have nothing to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

He looked up at the ancestral hall and said, "Otherwise, can you interrogate my Lu clan outside?" Don't go to the ancestral shrine, women can't enter the ancestral shrine!"

Wang Qilin said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense! This official is going to judge you people in front of your Lu ancestors, so that your ancestors can see what kind of descendants they have raised!"

Fifty families have nearly 500 people, but fortunately, the ancestral hall of the Lu family was built a few years ago, like a small temple, with a wide courtyard to accommodate these people.

Wang Qilin brought a lot of people this time, the big seals, small seals, and Youxing wrestlers were lined up in rows and rows, with black official robes and fierce gods, which frightened the common people to tremble.

Li Ta weaved through the crowd, using his strong and powerful physique and brutal countenance to put pressure on them.

Wang Qilin jumped on the eaves of the ancestral ancestral hall, stood on it and said sharply: "The Lu clan of Shanzao Township, who is very rebellious, actually colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty to rebel, and the crime should be punished by the nine clans!"

As soon as these words came out, a bunch of people shook off the field.

Last night the ancestral house was in turmoil, they had already vaguely guessed that something was wrong, and in the morning the patriarch hanged himself, and the discerning people were even more worried.

But no one thought that they would be accused of such a crime, and after reacting, the audience began to cry bitterly and knock on the ground!

Wang Qilin looked down at everyone majestically and continued: "However, God has the virtue of a good life, and the saints are benevolent today!"

"This official remembers that most of you are innocent and are just implicated by your relatives, so I am willing to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions!"

"There must be some of you who know the news of the remnants of the previous dynasty!"

"And there must be some people who have been hiding in the countryside and haven't left yet! They are all strangers with raw faces, and some of you must have seen them!"

"As long as you provide clues, this official can not blame your Lu clan for the past!"

"If you refuse to confess to this official with a fluke heart, it will be to give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and make amends, and put yourself and your clan on death row, that is, to exterminate the Lu clan!"

"This official advises you in one word, be lenient in your confession, and strict in your resistance!"

"Whether you and the Lu clan can continue to live in Shanzao Township depends on your wishes! Ladies and gentlemen, take people away, go back to their respective homes, and close their jurisdiction!"

If you are willing to confess this morning, you will live, if you are not willing to confess, then the entire Lu clan will be put in prison and beheaded all over the house!

Wang Qilin waved his hand heavily, and the Youxing wrestlers all drew their waist knives to fuel the momentum.

He felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was a pity that the corpse refined by Ma Qingfeng was all reincarnated by the Heavenly King Reincarnation Bell last night, otherwise it would be of great use if he kept it.

The dead can bring more deterrence to people than the imperial court.

Not long after kneeling, the whole Lu clan was brought back one by one, Wang Qilin left the big seals and small seals to manage the Lu clan in batches, and he and Xie Toad and others went to the river to see the bones again.

The skeleton was dug up, and Xie Toad immediately said 'huh' when he saw it: "That's not right." ”

He squatted down to take a closer look at the dry bone, pointed to the bone and asked Wen Kui, "Lord Wen, did you find this dry bone in a lightning strike tree?"

Wen Kui hugged his fists and said, "Returning to Daoye, that's right." ”

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is not a skeleton, or these bones do not belong to a person!"
