At dawn the next day, Lu Yezi and Liang Shiming came to Qin Mansion to meet Qin Yuanwai and ask for rewards.

Although Qin Yuanwai was full of promises, he arranged for the reward to be offered to him when he was leaving, on the grounds of letting Lu Yezi stay for a few more days and saluting and thanking.

Qin Yuan's careful thinking, Lu Yezi knew best, it was nothing more than wanting to verify whether the water ghosts had been completely eliminated.

At first, Liang Shiming was also unsure, but three days later, there was no strange drowning at the water's edge.

During this period, Lu Yezi asked Qin Erye to make two new outfits for the two of them, while Liang Shiming met the fox girl again in a dream.

When asked about the eldest lady of the Qin family, the fox girl said that she was to blame, and Liang Shiming remembered that day outside the back garden, she was beaten by the servants of the Qin Mansion, and guessed that she must have come to save her halfway, so the servants fled in a panic.

But when I think about it at this time, what happened to me was not done by Miss Qin, it was really the maid who caused trouble.

When Liang Shiming argued with the fox girl again, the fox girl did not answer, so she concluded that the charm of Miss Qin was caused by her, and accused her that she should not be so ruthless.

Unexpectedly, the fox girl didn't pay attention to it, and in the end, she only heard her coquettish voice, and after the green smoke dissipated, she disappeared.

Liang Shiming woke up and told Lu Yezi about it, Lu Yezi was dumbfounded, and then seemed to be more respectful to Liang Shiming.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Qin Yuanwai held a banquet for Lu Daoye to see him off, and during the banquet, he inevitably mentioned his daughter's marriage, and Lu Yezi pushed it off and then discussed it.

Instead, Lu Yezi pulled Qin Yuanwai aside and told all about the murder of Jia Daochang.

It is said that Najia Daochang was really harmed by the water ghost, and this matter was all caused by the Qin Mansion, in order to ensure that the wealth of the foreign family was not lost, so it was hypothesized that he was lost.

After hearing this, Qin Yuanwai nodded in agreement, and praised Lu Yezi for being thoughtful, so he also promised Lu Yezi that he would let the little Taoist boy stay in the mansion and would definitely be treated well.

After the banquet was over, Qin Yuan sent Qin Erye to accompany him personally, and sent a carriage to send the two to Baishui Town.

At this time, with the money, the two hired a horse-drawn carriage to rush to the Taohu ferry, twenty miles east of the town, and prepared to take the waterway north to the west of the river.

The owner of the car drove the carriage out of the east gate and ran out of more than ten miles in one go. In the carriage, the two sat upright and did not speak, but they were in a much better mood with each other than before.

Liang Shiming lifted the curtain and poked his head out, there was no one around, and he saw the lush trees beside the road flowing rapidly, and the eagerness in his heart was also comforted.

Just when he was looking forward to himself, the wild man in the car shouted that he was in a hurry, and after stopping the carriage, he jumped out of the car and ran to the side of the road to relieve himself.

Liang Shiming also got out of the car, taking the opportunity to stretch his muscles, and inadvertently he looked at the opposite side of the road, but his eyes were attracted by an old tree.

The old tree embraces the thick, arm-thick roots that drill out of the ground from under the soil, like a dragon, entwined and entrenched under the tree, and on it, there is a Taoist priest sitting with his eyes closed.

The Taoist priest wore a high bun, a hairpin pinned, dressed in a gray sermon robe, and hung a ponytail in his hand to whisk the dust.

Seeing that he is about forty years old, he has a dark and thin body, but his appearance is also very strange, which is very different from ordinary people.

His face was particularly narrow, and he said officiously that he had the face of a horse, with a hooked nose, thin lips, and a goat's whisker on his pointed chin.

And what surprised Liang Shiming the most was that next to this Taoist priest with a horse's face, there was a sika deer tied to him.

This deer is huge, similar to a donkey, but it is skinny, and the hair on its body is dull, and its owner must not have taken care of it on weekdays.

At this time, the sika deer saw that there was no grass to eat, so he stretched his mouth to the head of the horse-faced Taoist and chewed his hair.

Seeing Liang Shiming standing stupidly, Lu Yezi walked over while tying his clothes and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing, let's go. ”

Liang Shiming said that he was going to get into the car with Lu Yezi, but at this time, he heard a voice behind him: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Taoist friends stay!"

The two turned around, and Liang Shiming saw the horse-faced Taoist under the tree, who had already stood up at this time, and was walking towards this side with one hand.

Seeing that it was a person dressed as a Taoist, Lu Yezi was overjoyed, and immediately replied: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Taoist friends are invited!"

As the horse-faced Taoist approached, Lu Yezi couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart, because he never thought that there would be a monk in this world who was more ugly than himself.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, why are you going this time?" the horse-faced Taoist walked up and asked.

"Oh, poor road...... Poor Dao is going to visit a distant old man. Lu Yezi said casually.

"Oh, I see. The horse-faced Taoist said that his eagle eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked tightly, "Could it be about the 'natural disaster'?"

When this remark was spoken, Lu Yezi and Liang Shiming couldn't help but be stunned, especially Lu Yezi.

The last time he heard the word 'heavenly difficulty', it was when the master said when he returned from Xiangji, and now that the master has passed away, he heard the Taoist in front of him say this, and he is expected to be a fellow Taoist invited by Master Huiwu of Xiangji Temple, so he also feels very cordial.

As if he had met an old man by chance, Lu Yezi's nose was sour at this time, and he couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, the horse-faced Taoist glanced at Liang Shiming and asked Lu Yezi, "Daoist, who is this donor?"

"Oh, this is a poor lay disciple. Lu Yezi said.

"Junior Liang Shiming. Liang Shiming saluted tightly, but saw Lu Yezi on the side give him a blank look, as if he blamed himself for reporting his name and surname at will.

"Liang Gongzi, where is the clan?" asked the horse-faced Taoist with interest.

"The junior Wujin clan. ”

"Dare to ask, was Liang Gongzi born in Wujin?"

"Exactly. ”

The horse-faced Taoist nodded in disappointment.

"Dao Chief, that's ......," Liang Shiming asked puzzled, pointing to the tree in the distance.

The horse-faced Taoist turned around and saw that Liang Shiming was referring to the sika deer under the tree, and the tunnel: "This sika deer is a poor road mount." ”

Hearing that the horse-faced Taoist could actually ride a deer, the two of them were shocked.

"Daoist gods, I haven't asked for advice yet. Lu Yezi asked tightly.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! It's all blame on the poor Dao, just happened to meet the Dao Chief's heart and was happy, and he forgot about the Dao Gate for a while. The poor Taoist family name is Jia Mingzheng, the road name is Tianlu Xianshi, and the monk is in Jiangyin Xiangshan Temple. ”

Listening to the horse-faced Taoist explain his background one by one without reservation, Lu Yezi actually felt that he had a little villain's heart, so he saluted with a little embarrassment: "It turned out to be a Tianlu Immortal, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

At the same time, when Liang Shiming heard that the horse-faced Taoist in front of him claimed to be surnamed Jia, he instantly thought of the tragic death of Daoist Jia, and at this moment he unconsciously exclaimed: "Jia!?

The horse-faced Taoist was slightly stunned, and asked tightly: "Why is Liang Gongzi surprised? Could it be that you have also met a Taoist with the same surname as the poor Dao?"

After Lu Yezi glared at him fiercely, Liang Shiming felt lost, so he denied it again and again: "No, I don't know, I don't know!"

Having said that, he had an unnatural expression on his face.

As if he didn't notice it, the horse-faced Taoist stroked his goatee and said lightly: "Poor Dao has a younger brother, who is also in Sanqing, surnamed Jia Mingneng, and he became a monk in Chaoxianguan in Baishui Town, not far from here. I don't think he has much cultivation, but he has the reputation of 'white water and half immortal'......"

At this time, the horse-faced Taoist seemed to say unintentionally, but Lu Yezi and Liang Shiming were more and more cold.

Suddenly, the horse-faced Taoist stared at the two of them with dead eyes, and asked with a suspicious face: "I look at the direction of the two of you, it is Baishui Town, could it be that the two of you have seen your brother Jia!?"

Lu Yezi pretended to be calm, scratched his face with his hand, turned his head to the side, and said vaguely: "Oh, no, no, I haven't seen ......"

"Don't deceive!" didn't wait for Lu Yezi to continue, and the horse-faced Taoist said loudly.
