Seeing this empty big box, Li Xiuyuan knew that this was definitely not the silver taels that the money steward took away, it was definitely a demon and a monster. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, it is also possible that some cultivators have used their means.

However, the possibility of being a cultivator is very rare, and the most taboo thing for a cultivator is cause and effect, as if he didn't ask for himself, he took 10,000 taels of silver, and among the cause and effect, it was enough to ruin his path of cultivation, so it was definitely not a cultivator.

"Let's take a look around. Li Xiuyuan held a lantern and patrolled around the warehouse.

Let's see if we can find any clues.

"Young master, it's gloomy here, the slave maid is a little scared in her heart, let's go out quickly. Fluttershy is scared.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Wait and leave again, let me investigate first." ”

After he walked around here, he didn't find any clues, everything was normal, and he didn't find any clues.

In this way, it seems that the loss of 10,000 taels of silver is likely to be the work of ghosts.

Only ghosts can pass through walls freely, and they can easily take away silver taels.

"Looks like I'll have to ask the master. ”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, planning to take the time to go to Xiahe Village to see if his master could figure out something.

"Let's go, let's get out of here. ”

Just as he prepares to leave with Fluttershy, a squeaky sound is heard in the storeroom behind him.

It's a mouse.

There will be rats in the storeroom.

You must know that the Li family's treasury was built very hard, the walls around it were made of large bluestone, and the soil used to build the wall was also made of clay mixed with glutinous rice, fish glue and other materials.

But there must be demons when it is abnormal.

Li Xiuyuan immediately turned around and returned to the warehouse to take a look.

At this time he saw a white-haired mouse, who was crawling onto a box, picking up a silver ingot and stuffing it into his mouth.

There is a silver ingot the size of an adult's palm, and it was actually stuffed into the stomach by this mouse, and looking at the mouse's stomach there is no sign of bulging, it is still very flat, this mouse does not seem to be enjoying it, and continues to hold the silver ingot and eat it, and after eating a full three ingots, he became a little alert, and his head turned to see Li Xiuyuan striding over.

"Squeak~!"

The white mouse immediately screamed, jumped down from the box, and then quickly ran away along the corner, and finally lowered its head and burrowed into a crack in the stone that was only the thickness of a finger.

Such a small gap was actually drilled into by the white mouse, and it soon disappeared.

When Li Xiuyuan arrived, he happened to see one of the rat's tails disappear into the crack in the stone, and he couldn't catch the mouse.

"This rat is a sperm. ”

His first concern was not the loss of his own three ingots of silver, but the white rat itself.

Obviously, being able to eat a silver ingot as big as his own body in one go, and being able to get into such a small stone crevice, is definitely not something that ordinary rats can do, it must be a monster with Taoism.

"This white rat will have at least one or two hundred years of Taoism, but even if there is Taoism, the white rat has not turned into a human form, and should not know the use of silver, for it silver is a stone, it cannot be eaten, and it cannot be used as garbage, so it must not steal my family's silver for its own use, but for others to steal, only people know the benefits of gold and silver. ”

Li Xiuyuan groaned.

I think there is someone behind this white rat, or someone is pointing it out.

However, stealing is such a thing, and the cultivator will commit cause and effect, and it must not be done by the cultivator.

So who instructed the mouse?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan decided to investigate it properly, but this investigation locked the murderer.

It's not the money steward, it's the white mouse.

Mice are the best at making holes, and the mice with Taoism are even better, and the bluestone cracks can be drilled a little bit, and it is true that only heterogeneous people can do it.

"Let's get out of here. ”

Li Xiuyuan commanded, and quickly left the warehouse with Fluttershy.

When he returned, he told his father about it.

Li Dafu's eyes widened suddenly: "There is such a thing, my Li family's tens of thousands of taels of silver were actually stolen by a white mouse." ”

"Yes father, the child saw with his own eyes, the white rat swallowed three ingots of silver in a row, his abdomen did not distend, and he could escape by burrowing into the cracks in the stones. Li Xiuyuan said: "There is no doubt about such ability, that rat is a spirit with Taoism, and he was targeted by such a spirit in the treasury, not to mention tens of thousands of taels, and all the money in our Li family's treasury at that time was also emptied, so the money steward was innocent." ”

"Then, what now?" Li Dafu was a little uncertain for a while: "Since it is a monster making trouble, let's go and ask the Taoist to go down the mountain to catch the demon." ”

Speaking of his master's blind man, the corners of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched again.

He said: "The master is repairing the avenue, but I am afraid that there is no time, and now the top priority is to seal the stone crack in the treasury, so as not to lose the silver again, as for the money steward, it is better to let him out, give him a sum of silver taels, so that he will go to retire." ”

"The stone crack is easy to do, but the money steward is innocent, he should apologize for his father, and then ask him to continue to manage the money treasury, why should he fire the money steward. Li Dafu wondered.

Li Xiuyuan said: "After this incident, Steward Qian's loyalty must have been shaken, and I am afraid that it is no longer safe to let him be in charge of the treasury, and Steward Qian is not too young, so it is also appropriate to let him return to his hometown and enjoy his old age in peace." ”

"Hehe, Wu'er really deserves to be a delicate heart, delicate, perceptive to people's hearts, and so sophisticated in handling things, but I am very pleased to be a father......" Li Dafu said, but then he saw Fluttershy behind him, and he couldn't help but stop immediately.

He almost forgot that the news that his child had a seven-trick exquisite heart could not be leaked, otherwise he would not be at peace in his life.

"Ahem, the matter of the money steward has been resolved, but the matter of the money treasury is still not at ease for the father, the stone crack is easy to do, but what if the white mouse comes again?"

"You should have a cat at home, and if you have a cat patrolling the storeroom, you can rest easy. Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Dafu's eyes immediately lit up: "Reasonable, reasonable, mice are most afraid of cats." ”

"But the idle cat can't cure the mouse with the Tao, and the child needs to prepare. Li Xiuyuan bowed his hand, and then left.

"Young master, wait for the slave. Fluttershy follows behind Li Xiuyuan like a little tail.

After Li Xiuyuan came to the backyard, he instructed a maidservant, "Where did the black cat in the backyard go?" ”

"Great, big young master. The maidservant hurriedly saluted, and then said, "The black cat is probably napping in the garden." ”

"Go get it, I'm in a hurry. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes. The maidservant answered, and trotted away.

After a while, the maid returned with a black cat in her arms.

Black cats are domestic, not afraid of life, and honestly held by people.

"Fluttershy, take the black cat to my study. Li Xiuyuan said.

Fluttershy takes the black cat from the handmaid and follows him to the study.

"I think about it, I think about it, how did you draw that spirit talisman. ”

Li Xiuyuan sharpened the ink, took a pen, laid out a piece of rice paper, and recalled in his mind a little thing that his cheap master had taught him before.

Talisman!

As the name suggests, it is to open the spiritual wisdom to living beings, which is a relatively advanced talisman.

A cultivator cannot perform without a certain number of deeds.

But Li Xiuyuan is an alternative.

He has the ability to never forget, and immediately recalled the drawing method of the Enlightenment Talisman in his mind.

Learning from the appearance of a blind Taoist in the past, Li Xiuyuan walked the dragon and snake with his pen, and soon a pair of Taoist talismans that he couldn't understand were drawn.
