The scorching sun hangs high, the trees are still without wind, the earth is like an oven, the heat is steaming, and everything becomes weak and dying in this blazing sun.

The weeds on the roadside drooped, the fragrant flowers withered, and there was no sound except for the cicadas in the forest.

Three figures came faintly on an official road outside Nanma Town, faintly in the steaming air.

There are three Taoists, two in front of one green and one white, and there is a white-clothed Taoist priest in the back, but he has a cloth umbrella embroidered with the beautiful scenery of the river on his head, blocking the poisonous flames above his head.

These three people started from the Five Blessings Concept and came to investigate Xue Buyu, Yu Ling, and Mo Xiao, who were the big man in black.

Although Xue Buyu and Mo Xiao are both dressed in white, their temperaments are completely different.

Although Xue Buyu, who had returned from the Flame Emperor, was not as dark as when he first came back, his skin was already a little bronzed, and although his body was slender, judging from the body wrapped when he walked, he was full of explosive power, and he had a sense of rage like a jungle beast.

Mo Xiao is more like a scholar on a trip, with a fair face, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a relatively thin body.

"Sixth Senior Brother, what do you look like with an umbrella? You know, a real man, you have to dare to face the scorching sun, dare to face the dark face, you see, what is the difference between you and the eldest girl?"

Trekking all the way, approaching Nanma Town, Xue Buyu, who was in a relaxed mood, had the intention to joke with Mo Xiao.

"Stinky boy, do you still know that I am your senior brother, do you say that about your senior brother?"

Mo Xiao laughed and scolded in the back, and under the smile of the handsome face, there was infinite charm and extremely bewitching, "Xiao Yu, you must know that for Senior Brother, the most important thing is not the Dao realm, but this fascinating face!"

He stroked his cheek with his orchid finger, even in the face of the two big men, he was deeply self-absorbed, Xue Buyu felt a chill in his heart, and Yu Ling was even more creepy, and he didn't dare to answer the words of the two brothers, just lowered his head and hurried forward.

"Senior brother, what did you learn the Tao for?"

Xue Buyu kicked the stones on the ground, and suddenly turned around and asked.

"Hmm!"

Mo Xiao pressed his face with his fingers, raised his eyes to the upper right, pondered for a moment, looked at his junior brother's face and said, "My family is not as rich as Mo Yan's family, but it is also rich." At that time, I thought that people are inherently dead, or their faces are wrinkled, and they die ugly, so it is better for me to go out to learn the Tao, and at worst, I can still maintain my youthful appearance when I die. In this way, even if you die, it is beautiful. ”

"Eh, Senior Brother, your purpose for learning the Tao is high, it's really high!"

Xue Buyu turned around and gave Mo Xiao a thumbs up, praised him with a clear conscience, shook his head helplessly, and said secretly, this reason is strange!

I used to only know that learning the Tao is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, to stay away from the red dust, to pursue tranquility, or to become a monk since childhood, this is a last resort, for the sake of beauty, in order to maintain the youth of the monk to learn the Tao, I really heard of it for the first time.

It's really a big world, there are no wonders, how can there be such a big difference between people's ideas?

This is a man who learns the Tao for the sake of beauty! Senior Brother Mo Xiao is really a very human being!

The three of them entered Nanma Town, and under the leadership of Yu Ling, they went straight to the Wang family's mansion.

"Here it is!"

The gate was closed and covered with dust, and it seemed that the Wang family did not know that there was a giant rat living under the foundation of their house, let alone that the rat had been deceived and their home was safe.

Several people stared at the house for a while, but they didn't find anything strange.

The three of them circled around the Wang family, and looked carefully, the high wall and deep courtyard, the bamboo forest outcropping in the courtyard, and the sycamore canopy had stretched out beyond the courtyard wall.

Back at the gate of the house, Xue Buyu supported his chin with his hand and said, "Two, it seems that the strange noise of the Wang family is the strange rat, and there is no ghostly thing." ”

Mo Xiao under the embroidered umbrella heard this, and nodded slightly, "Exactly!"

He looked up at the sky again, took out a pink embroidered handkerchief from his cuff, gently wiped the invisible sweat on his forehead, folded it and put it back in his sleeve, and said weakly: "Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother, let's find a place to rest first!

After that, he ignored the two of them's promises, stepped forward, and paced along the road towards the store with a wine flag hanging at the door.

A woman wearing a floral apron on the side of the street was smashing thoughts with the fat aunt on the side, and suddenly saw this line of strangers dressed in Taoist robes, and there was a little strange in her heart.

Hearing that the fat aunt was still thinking in her ear, she stretched out her right hand to stop the other party from nagging, and pointed in the direction of the three of them, her eyes were confused, and her face was full of smiles.

When they got closer, the two were still staring at Mo Xiao intently.

Xue Buyu listened to the second daughter: "Whose girl is so handsome!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Mo Xiao roar angrily: "You two long-mouthed women, who are you girls?"

Xue Buyu heard that the voice was wrong, and when he turned around, he hurriedly grabbed his angry figure, and said in his mouth: "Senior brother, senior brother, don't be angry. What do you see with them?'

Holding Mo Xiao, who was struggling and jumping in his arms, he glared at the two women fiercely and said, "Close your beaks and see clearly, this is a man!"

The woman wearing the apron had white eyes and said disdainfully: "It's still a man! He has thin skin and tender flesh, white and red, and he still has a flower umbrella! Look around, that man has an umbrella?"

She didn't give up, she clearly didn't pay attention to a few people, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed on the street with the other, "Do you see, do you see? That man has an umbrella!"

"Stinky woman, you give me death!"

Mo Xiao, who has always been proud of his appearance, suffered such a shameful humiliation, and immediately clasped his silent wrist to break free, although he couldn't kill anyone, but he went up and slapped the woman into dozens of mouths, which was also a way to relieve his hatred.

The two mothers-in-law still had to fight back, but when they saw Xue Buyu and Yu Ling still carrying swords on their backs, they immediately shut up, the two looked at each other, and returned to their homes with a smoke, and closed the door with a "bang".

"Let's go, brother, let's go!"

Xue Buyu grabbed Mo Xiao's wrist, forced his smile, and dragged him away.

"Stinky woman, dare to talk nonsense! The next time I see them, I have to catch a few ghosts and throw them to their house, serve them well, and see if I dare to chew the root of my tongue again in the future!"

The handsome Taoist with an angry face and red ears drank all the wine in the porcelain cup in front of him with a "slap", and slapped it on the wooden table in front of him with a "pop", gritting his teeth and his face full of hatred.

"Senior brother, foolish woman in the countryside, why do you bother with them!

Xue Buyu persuaded as he picked up the wine jug and carefully filled it for him, "Senior brother, even if this matter is over, what should we do next?"

"Whew!~"

With a long breath, Mo Xiao closed his eyes and pondered for a while, opened his open eyes, and looked at Yu Ling on the side, "Senior Brother Yu, what do you think?"

"Poof!"

Yu Ling, who was drinking beautifully with a wine glass, listened to his high arguments, but he didn't know that the problem was thrown back by him, and he couldn't hold back for a while, spewing out a mouthful of wine mist.

Ignoring the disgusted gazes of the two, Yu Ling calmly wiped the table in front of him with his cuffs, picked up a piece of mutton with green bamboo chopsticks and put it in his mouth casually, closed his eyes and shook his head to savor it.

Mo Xiao saw that he was pretending to be a ghost and turned a deaf ear to his words, so he said in a strange manner: "Senior Brother Yu, good boy!

"Uh~"

Yu Ling's Adam's apple moved up and down, swallowing the mutton in his mouth into his stomach with all his might, and slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Mo Xiao obliquely, "Did I do it too obviously, or are you too smart?" ”

"Don't tease!"

Mo Xiao waved his hand in front of him, seeing that the old Taoist who was serious and serious in the past has become more and more righteous recently, he turned his head fiercely and glared at Xue Buyu, he learned from this kid, he is in his fifties, what are he thinking about all day long? This trembling brain circuit is very characteristic of divergent thinking.

"Senior Brother Yu, the clue of the Wang family's compound has been broken, and the only one who knows is the black-clothed man, but the world is so big, where can we find it?"

"Senior Brother Mo Xiao, don't be in a hurry! As the saying goes, the crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the dim light. ”

"Oh?" Mo smiled and glared, "You mean let's go out and have a good fortune?"

Yu Ling stroked his long beard, "No! ”

Seeing Yu Ling brushing his beard, squinting his eyes slightly, and sitting pretending to be a god stick of a master in the world, Mo Xiaoqi didn't hit one place, rolled his peach blossom eyes, ignored it anymore, turned back to Xue Buyu and said: "Senior brother, this time we go down the mountain, senior brother has great expectations for us, no matter what, we must also find out about this giant rat." ”

"Hmm~"

The chopsticks in Xue Buyu's hand were like lightning, his mouth was full, and he nodded and replied vaguely: "Got it, senior brother." We'll just play down the hill for a while. ”

"Huh~ is to eliminate harm for the people, and work tirelessly! What nonsense is the truth!"

"Okay!

Since coming to Wufuguan, influenced by a group of enthusiastic Taoist friends, Yu Ling and Chen Fu, who used to only eat vegetarian food, have bid farewell to vegetarian dishes.

At the beginning, he was still a little unaccustomed, but after getting along for a long time, subtly, his temperament also changed slightly.

The three of them were sitting in the store, the sun was shining outside, there were many people in the house, and it was a little stuffy, the three of them summed up, anyway, there was no one in the Wang family's house, so it was better to go there to hide.

Outside the wall, looking around, the sun was dazzling, and there was no one around, the three of them flew in very skillfully, followed the stone road in the bamboo forest to the residence, pulled open the iron lock outside the door with their bare hands, and pushed the door in.

The inside of the house can be called cooler than the outside, because there has been no one for a long time, the furniture is covered with a thin layer of dust, Yu Ling found a mahogany carved chair, flicked it casually with the wide sleeves of the robe, sat on it, and breathed a comfortable sigh.
