"Lord Liu, what did you just say?" Xiao Lie couldn't believe his ears and asked Lord Liu in the Imperial History.

Lord Liu stretched out his hands helplessly and read out these six words heavily: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!"

Xiao Lie cried and asked Lord Liu: "My Lord Liu, can you be like this, you have to explain to us if you have anything to say, this inarticulate speech is like killing people with a blunt knife." When we were in the city god's yamen, the city god didn't say anything, we thought, you are the last savior, so we ignored the middle of the night, and came to you for the crime of disturbing your rest, but why did you say that?

Lord Liu waved his hand to let the two of them go back and sit down, and said to the two of them: "Xiao Lie, what you said is the real chill, what you ask for is itself to leak the secret of heaven, I didn't refuse you at that time, and it is impossible to prevaricate you with any high-sounding words now." The six words I just said are shown on the hexagram, and I am not playing tricks. Moreover, not only is it this kind of hexagram that the old hero Luo didn't finish, but even the hexagram of the evil demon that you didn't catch, it seems that God doesn't want us to know the result of these things in advance. Providence is like this, I can't pull it, I have used all the moves that should be used, and now there is nothing I can do. You should die and let it be. ”

At this time, Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong were completely dead, and they sat there one by one with their heads down, and they didn't speak. Seeing that the two were lost, Lord Liu walked up to them and comforted: "Don't be too disappointed, this must be God's test for you, otherwise it would be impossible to have no hint at all." ”

Yin Xuesong patted Xiao Lie, pulled him up from the chair, and said to Master Liu: "It's okay, we just have encountered a lot of things during this time, so we want to know about what may happen in advance, and it can also set up an extra barrier and defense line in our hearts." It seems that it is really providential today, God doesn't want to tell us, so we won't ask more. The two of them bowed to Lord Liu again: "Lord Liu, it's not too early, you should rest quickly, the time will come in a while, don't be too tired, pay more attention to rest, the two of us will go first, and the day after tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up, and you must appreciate it when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely go, and I'm going to let myself relax and relax with your joy. As Lord Liu spoke, he sent Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong to the door.

After the two separated from Lord Liu, they returned to the Duwei Mansion. At this time, almost all the people in the Duwei Mansion were asleep, and only a few yard workers on duty and soldiers on night were guarding the house. Seeing that the two of them had returned, a soldier said to Yin Xuesong: "Commander Shi, the two adults of Jinyiwei have been waiting for you in the study for a long time, as if they have something important to tell you." ”

"Well, I know!" The two of them came to the study, and when they saw Zhao Haiquan and Nangong Junzhe playing chess, they cheered up and said with a smile: "The two brothers are so Yaxing, why don't you go back to sleep? ”

Zhao Haiquan and Nangong Junzhe saw that the two of them were back, and put the chess pieces in their hands on the chessboard, Nangong Junzhe said to them with a wry smile: "You two are back, we are very anxious waiting for you, this tea is drunk, the lungs and leaves are floating, do you listen to me with the sound of water." You said that you went to find the city god, we wanted to wait for you to come back to hear the news, left and right and so on, there was no one, so we had to play chess to relieve the boredom, and finally looked forward to you coming back, let's talk about it, what have you all heard? ”

Xiao Lie found a place to sit down, took a teacup casually, and no matter who it was, he drank a few big sips directly: "I'm dying of thirst, after we came out of the Chenghuang Yamen, we went to Lord Liu's mansion again, so we came back a little late." These two people are really not interesting, they didn't even give us saliva to drink, and my throat was smoking. ”

Yin Xuesong was also thirsty, drank a big bowl, put down the teacup and said to the two of them: "We have not gained anything from this trip." Lord Chenghuang refused to say, but Lord Liu didn't calculate anything, and finally only came to one conclusion, that is, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey. I think we are just this fate, there is no shortcut to take, I can only grope and see step by step. Then he told the two of them why he saw so many Chenghuang soldiers on a mission.

"Although nothing happened to us here, I still can't calm down, and I always feel like something big is going to happen. Nangong Junzhe didn't lie at all, and it could be seen from his expression that he was indeed restless. When talking to people, the eyes are erratic, and it is easy to wander, and I don't know what I'm thinking when I talk.

"I see, you've been busy all this time, and if you could have rested for a few days, you wouldn't be like this. When the two of them are married, find a day when everyone is fine, go to the mountains to have fun, and don't think about anything else. Okay, seeing that the sky is about to dawn, don't go back, stay with us, sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Xiao Lie sent the two people to the guest room.

Just as he was about to walk to his room, a voice behind him gently called his name: "Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie, I'm here, are you deaf, didn't hear me call you?" Xiao Lie, Xiao Lie......

Xiao Lie looked at the voice, and a dark shadow hid behind the pillars of the pavilion and beckoned to him. Because it was dark, I couldn't see who was behind the pillar, so I had to walk over. When I walked to the front and saw that the person hiding here turned out to be Diao Wu, the head of the Soul Hooking Division of the City God's Yamen, Xiao Lie said to him with a smile on his face: "Who should I be, it turned out that Diao Wuye came to the cold house, it really made me shine here, what are you looking for me?"

"I have a little matter, I want to ask you for a favor, I've been too busy lately, you know, the people of the Chenghuang Yamen have been transferred, and everything has fallen into the hands of our Soul Hooking Division, and our brothers are busy and confused. There's really no way around, so I remembered you, and that's why I came here. Diao Wu looked at Xiao Lie and said embarrassedly.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me into the house, I have a few jars of good wine, let's talk while we drink." Saying that, Xiao Lie pulled Diao Wu and was about to go to his room.

Diao Wu shook off Xiao Lie's hand and said to him: "The sky is about to dawn, I have to hurry back, otherwise as soon as the sun comes out, it will be easy for me to come here." If you want to drink, let's drink it another day. ”

"Then what is the reason why Fifth Master Diao is looking for me?"

Diao Wu and Xiao Lie went to the pavilion and said, "There is such a thing, you have never seen an old man on the edge of the Nenjiang River, always wearing a cloak with a hat. ”

"See, what's wrong with him? Could it be that he's a monster? I've long seen that something is wrong with him, whether it's windy or rainy, it's the same one who dresses up, and he doesn't talk to him much, at first I thought he was such a strange old man, but I didn't expect him to be a monster. Xiao Lie said with spittle.

Diao Wu hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense, he's not a goblin, but what I want you to do is really related to him." ”

"It's not a goblin, what are you doing with me, isn't it full of food. Xiao Lie coldly sarcastically mocked Diao Wu.

Diao Wu didn't care, he said: "That's the case, it must have been said more than two hundred years ago." Once, when the city god yamen was cleaned and the local life and death books were sorted out, one of the life and death books was scattered. Lord Chenghuang tore off a page from other books of life and death, twisted the paper, and strung the scattered books of life and death again. I thought the page was a useless piece of waste paper. Which Cheng thought, it records a person's life and good fortune. Now I only know that this old man's surname is Cao, and I also know that he has lived for two hundred and eighty-nine years, and the rest is not known at all, he can't die without the book of life and death, if he doesn't die in the capital city, he won't be able to get the number, and the two officials of the Criminal Division are back here, in addition to promoting the ghost pawn, they also explained this matter, and asked us to solve it as soon as possible. If he is allowed to live for more than a hundred years, he will become an earth immortal, and if there is no place for him in the immortal class, he will become a demon, and then he will be in trouble. ”

"Then how do you know that this surnamed Cao is an old man fishing on the edge of the Nenjiang River. If people are incognito, won't you be able to find out, why are you so sure?" Xiao Lie asked.

"Hey, that's a coincidence!" said that Diao Wu laughed here: "This is thanks to his wife, his wife died the day before yesterday, and our soul was hooked back." When she was interrogated, the woman said to us arrogantly that we could catch ordinary people like her, but we couldn't arrest her masters. When we were stunned, we found out that this mother-in-law was the ninth daughter-in-law of Old Man Cao, not that this old man liked the new and hated the old, but no one could live him. That's how we determined our goal, but tomorrow we have to go to the surrounding counties, and we really don't have time to hook him, so aren't we looking for you. ”

After Diao Wu finished speaking, he took off the soul bag from his waist and handed it to Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie understood, nodded, took the soul bag, and agreed: "Okay, leave this matter to me, after putting him in this, I will send him to the Chenghuang Yamen, you can do other things with peace of mind, you can rest assured that I will do things." ”

"I'm definitely 10,000 relieved, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come to you, no. Okay, then you'll be tired, I'll go first, and the day will be bright soon. After saying that, Diao Wuyi stomped his feet and disappeared.

Xiao Lie looked at the soul bundle bag, laughed, startled Yin Xuesong, who came out of the thatched house and was about to go to sleep, ran over and touched Xiao Lie's head and said, "You are sick!"
