The man wept and said, "I am the cook here, and the judge is my brother-in-law, and they are all dead." He began to cry again, sobbing and unable to speak.

Chen Lu was taken aback, this is a relative, brother-in-law, there is no reason to kill his brother-in-law, and he has to let so many people accompany him to the funeral. So he calmed down and said, "Don't cry yet, talk slowly." ”

The cook said: The inquisitor thinks that the Celestial Empire has helped to put down the plague and has sent food for relief, so he should call them for a meal as a token of gratitude.

The institute is not one of those big yamen, and there is no condition to eat too well, so I went to the neighborhood to buy some wine and food, and everything was arranged. The master came back from a business trip, asked about the cause and effect, and told the interrogator that it was not appropriate to do so.

He said, first, this is the plague period, and the officials of the Celestial Empire usually cover their mouths and noses, set up big tents outside to receive outsiders, and let people come to eat, which is a bit out of place. It's not good if people don't come, come on, and feel uneasy, afraid of contracting the plague.

Second, the money for the medicine is still taken by others, so let's just not return it to others, and we are still extravagantly inviting others to eat and drink, which is not good, forget it.

Everyone said that it made sense, and the examiner said, "Okay, then let's eat it ourselves, and it can be regarded as a celebration." At noon, I treated everyone and asked those who had finished delivering the medicine to wash up and drink wine. ”

The cook said, "I ate well at noon, but I don't know why there was a strange movement, so I asked the burner to take a look, and soon it fell there, and the same is true of the one who serves the food, you have all seen it." I don't see it well, I sit here and pretend to be dead. When he heard that someone was coming, he didn't dare to go out, so he waited for someone from the government to come. ”

Chen Lu ordered: "You hurry up and find someone nearby, protect this place first, and wait for treatment together." Tell you, don't have a bad idea, my old man has a skill, and the ten directions of the world can't hide from my eyes, go quickly. ”

Mantai took Chen Lu and the others to the interrogator's signing room. There is an office here, and there is a bedroom with a delicate little kang that can sleep four or five people.

The military doctor said: "My lord, these people are undoubtedly poisoned, as for what kind of poison, I can't tell what kind of poison it is. ”

Chen Lu was also thinking, which side did this? If it was to prevent the plague, then he should go to the mission to find him Chen Zicheng's trouble, and it would be easier to go to the mission, so why should he go to the Li Wen Institute?

Everyone was thinking about it, and there was crying outside to grab the ground, needless to say, it was the family. Chen Lu asked them to wait for news first.

This incident also quickly alarmed the guards of the Thousand Households, and when it was almost dark, the Thousand Households led their troops to surround the Counseling Office. The military doctor and Qianhu exchanged views with them, they were dealing with the aftermath, and Chen Lu and the others returned to the station.

Nalan waited anxiously, and the military doctor told the story again.

Nalan said: "Lord Chen, since the people from the Thousand Households have come, it is okay to hand them over, it is useless for us to be here, it is better to catch up with the brigade earlier." There is no Master Chen in the team, first, there is no guide, and second, there may not be any chaos. ”

Chen Lu said: "No, there is Hasan, we have to start and finish well, and we can't leave a tail for others." Chen Lu saw that these people were not dead, and it didn't seem that they had made a dead hand.

Chen Lu still remembered what his family members said to those who watched the excitement, that it was the plague lady and the Liwen Institute that fought, and the Liwen Institute was defeated.

Will you be able to find any clues here?

Dolan didn't say a word the whole time. Chen Lu said: "Nalan, don't sleep at night, take care of the camp, and my old man will quietly go to the Liwen Institute." ”

Nalan was taken aback and said, "Is it useful to go at night? ”

"Of course, but what about here?"

Nalan nodded and said, "Yes, you should be more careful." ”

After dinner, and seeing that it was about to be the second watch, Chen Lu rode to the Institute of Reasoning and lay down on a small hill behind the Institute. Looking at the sky, the sky was cloudless, the moon was sparse, and he took a big breath of fresh air here.

At this moment, he noticed that a trace of black qi appeared in the air, from less to more, changing sharply in the air, and suddenly, this black qi rushed towards the Li Wen Institute. Seeing the reason, Chen Lu shouted loudly and sacrificed the Qinglong Sword.

The black qi hesitated, and immediately flew north, a blue light followed, Chen Lu turned over and got on his horse, and the big green horse took off into the air, chasing after the green light. In the blink of an eye, the big green horse fell.

Chen Lu looked around, and it turned out to be the mountain where the medicine was collected.

He thought that many books recorded the story of the mountain god. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Taiping Guangji" all mention mountain gods.

There is a record in "Liezi", there is an article "The Fool Moves the Mountain", there is a sentence, "The god of snake hears it", and this god of snake is the god of the mountain. These guys can't be offended, but they really haven't heard of this road immortal in the Ten Directions of the Universe.

Chen Lu found his Qinglong Sword in the moonlight, it was inserted into the ground, and next to it was actually a medicinal chicken gall. Chen Lu suddenly realized that it was this medicine that was being consumed.

He said loudly: "Medicine chicken gall, you originally did a great deed, a great good deed, to help you succeed in cultivating immortals, but you did such a dirty thing. It's just that my old man doesn't know, but since he knows, how can he sit idly by? Hurry up and show up, otherwise my Qinglong Sword will slash and kill all the medicinal chicken gall, and there will be no grass left here in the future. ”

shouted in Mongolian, Han, and reply.

Chen Lu waited for a while, but there was no movement, and he said loudly: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, it's special." The green dragon sword was sacrificed, and the volley was slashed in the air, with a miserable scream. The Green Dragon Sword flew up again, and was about to slash down again.

"Don't be angry, Lord Shangxian. A voice came, and Chen Lu put away his sword. A courtyard appeared in front of him, and two green-haired Humpty Dumpty men came out, saying in the Western Regions, "Please follow me." Chen Lu smiled, it wasn't just the guys from Boling Lake who had green hair.

Chen Lu found that it was already daytime, which was too fast, and it was another day in a flash. It's a good thing that he didn't come with Nalan, otherwise he would have to let the family arrange it after he went back, and spend the night outside, he thought that the envoy must be very anxious at this time.

He walked into the courtyard, it was spring, here pavilions and pavilions, rare flowers and plants, beautiful. He walked and watched, and soon came to a hall, and the two men said, "Sit down, and the messenger will arrive at once." ”

Chen Lu looked at the hall, there were four rows of chairs, each row was equipped with a tea table, and a delicate teapot was placed on it.

He smiled, his mind was full of medicinal chicken gall for the past two days, and he let this medicine chicken gall make a problem. He raised his eyes and looked around, there were all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and the paintings were all some strange flowers and plants.

At this time, a person walked in, also short and fat, over the age of old, his hair was already green and white, and the top of his head was already exposed, his face was expressionless, he arched his hand to Chen Lu, and sat on the main seat. Chen Lu also arched his hand and said, "I've seen my husband." ”
