"Cluck, cluck. ”

In the courtyard of the government office, a rooster flapped its wings and raised its feathers, like a fighter, and paced back and forth in front of the door of a room while crowing.

This rooster is huge, three times the size of a normal rooster, and it is bright red throughout, and its feathers do not have a trace of variegation.

People who don't know only think that this is the rooster that crows in Li Xiuyuan's mansion.

But those who know know know that this rooster is extraordinary, and can eat evil spirits and drive away evil spirits.

When he was in the house, the ghost and god saw that they were going to take a detour, and they didn't dare to approach, for fear that they would be pecked if they were not careful.

However, this rooster is very quiet on weekdays, never running around and crowing, but crows three times a day when the sun rises, and does not make any noise other than that.

Li Xiuyuan called this rooster Lei Gong.

Because it was left by the heavenly thunder lord.

"What's the matter with this rooster, why has it been staying in the courtyard and refusing to disperse, the two envoys were almost pecked as soon as they went out, if this offended the two envoys from the imperial court, how could it be done? I think it's better to kill this chicken, presumably General Li won't blame us." "Stay

Several officials at the door stopped the rooster from entering.

"Kill this rooster? Are you crazy, this is the rooster that crows in General Li's mansion, it has been raised so big, who knows how many years it has been raised, if we beat it to death, who knows how General Li will punish us." The other older officer's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly stopped the others

of this thought.

He has been on an errand for so many years, and he understands very well that the cats and dogs in this big man's house have to be carefully served, and they can't be driven away casually, treated badly, let alone killed.

"If we can't get rid of this rooster, we can't stay here forever, and the dog still has time to nap. ”

"Hugh has to complain, now is the time to be on an errand, where is the errand is not an errand, is it not to find the street, catch the thief and move the knife you are at ease? ”

The older servant said in a suppressed voice.

"Listen, there are footsteps, and there are a lot of people, coming here. A clever servant of the Sudden reminded.

Everyone's hearts froze, and they immediately became upright, and they didn't dare to talk to each other anymore, stealing and playing tricks.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan took the third sister of the fox and a few personal soldiers, and the servants strode here.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw red roosters pacing around the yard.

"Lei Gong, come here. Li Xiuyuan beckoned.

The big red rooster moved his head, glanced at Li Xiuyuan, and then ran over quickly with a roar, standing honestly, putting away his attacking posture, and looking as steady as Mount Tai.

"The little one has seen the general. ”

The four officials guarding the door hurriedly and respectfully saluted.

"Excuse me, those two imperial envoys are inside?" Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, General, it's inside, Lord Fu is worried that the two envoys will have an accident, so he specially ordered a few small people to guard here to ensure the safety of the two envoys. A team leader said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, hard work, knock on the door, just say that General Ben is visiting." ”

The head of the team answered, then turned around and knocked on the door: "The envoy, the envoy, the small one is the head of the yamen, General Li is here, and I invite the envoy to open the door to meet you." ”

Immediately, a voice came from inside the room, with a bit of panic: "What? Then General Li is here, quickly, open the door and invite General Li in." ”

"No, you can't open the door, the rooster is still outside, and as soon as the door is opened, the rooster rushes in, and we die. Another person panicked and stopped.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, his eyes flashing with golden light, and he peeked into the house.

But I saw that in the hall of the house, there were jade belts, treasure armor, gold and silver silk, and all kinds of court rewards, and in one room, two envoys wearing court official uniforms were trembling and curled up on the bed at this moment, hugging each other, looking terrified to the extreme.

The two envoys were both white-faced and beardless, one was old and slightly fat, and the other was young and thin, looking like eunuchs.

But take a closer look.

Although these two eunuchs have human skins, they have two huge centipedes curled up in their bodies.

One is blackened and has the thickness of an adult's arm, and the other is yellowish and slender like a snake.

"Ah, Divine Eyesight, who, that god is spying on us?" the slightly chubby eunuch was suddenly startled, and subconsciously screamed.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and withdrew his Divine Eye Technique.

The Tao is not low, his divine eye technique has been detected, but it is not as good as his master, he can see at a glance that he is peeping, and these two centipede essences don't know that the person who peeps is himself.

"Childe, how is it, are they two demons?" The third sister of the fox snuggled up to her, winked her eyes, and said delicately.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Two centipede essences, one is about five hundred years old, and the other is about three hundred years old, it's really not easy, no wonder I'm afraid of Lei Gong, it turned out to be a nemesis." ”

The third fox sister pursed her lips and smiled: "It's only eight hundred years of Taoism, and you don't know how many thousand-year-old demons you killed, and you're still afraid of these two little elves?"

"I'm not talking about their Taoism, but as centipede spirits, these two monsters can become the envoys of the imperial court, and the things contained in them have to make people think deeply. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, the officials of the imperial court are protected by good fortune, it is difficult for ghosts to get close, and it is difficult for demons and evil to cause harm, and it is indeed not easy for two centipede spirits to become the envoys of the imperial court. The third sister of the fox said.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand at this moment and said, "Stand down, there's nothing to do with you here." ”

"Yes, General Lee. The servants saluted, and then quickly withdrew.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the Jia Shidao beside him, "You are guarding the gate of the courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter without my order." ”

"Yes, General. ”

A team of armor soldiers around him answered, and immediately retreated to the gate of the courtyard with their fists clenched and guarded the exit.

Li Xiuyuan strode over, without the slightest drag, and directly stretched out his hand to open the door.

"The two envoys of the imperial court, don't hide, come out, in Xia Li Xiuyuan, the two envoys should have heard my name, if my expectations are good, which national teacher should send you, the national teacher is really good, the eunuchs in the palace can cast spells to occupy the body, and they have become the imperial court."

of the Upper Envoy. ”

He stopped, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked calmly at the two eunuchs hiding in the room.

The slightly chubby eunuch showed a strange smile on his face at this moment, as if he was afraid, as if he was surprised, and he had a strong smile on his face; "The little one who met the saint Li had heard that there was a saint in the south, and it was a blessing to see the honor today

The star blocked the door, and he didn't dare to go out half a step, so he had to call for help and ask the saint for forgiveness. ”

"Don't say a saint, when it reaches the ears of the official, you still think I'm going to rebel. Li Xiuyuan said: "Since I have arrived, why haven't I shown up?"

"I'm afraid of the rooster next to Lord Li. The chubby eunuch said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Without my order, Lei Gong won't eat you, come out." ”

Looking at the big red rooster next to him, he asked him to back a little, so as not to scare the two centipede spirits from coming out.

"Yes, yes, yes, with Master Li's words here, the little ones are relieved. ”

As he spoke, the two eunuchs cautiously walked out of the house, the older eunuch was better, and the younger eunuch walked a little paralyzed, almost half-kneeling on the ground, half-crawling out.

"Huh~!"

Lei Gong behind him let out a scream, and his head moved to stare at the young eunuch.

"Ah~!"

The young eunuch immediately fell to the ground in fright, and the skin on his body suddenly deflated, and quickly deflated, and a slender centipede curled up in the skin, not daring to move.

The centipede spirit of these three hundred years of Taoism is afraid that this big rooster is afraid to such an extent.

"Hmph. ”

Li Xiuyuan snorted heavily when he saw this: "The national teacher sent such a thing to Yangzhou?

I was hummed by this.

The chubby eunuch was startled, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask Lord Li for forgiveness, the ancestor has no one available now, so I let this little guy fill the façade, its Taoism is too low, revealing its ugliness, here the little one apologizes to Lord Li, and asks Lord Li not to go to heart." ”

"The National Teacher's Taoism is at least a thousand years, no, at least two thousand years, and he is the highest Taoist spirit I have ever seen, and there is no one to use such an existence like him?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The slightly chubby eunuch said with a bitter face, "Back to Lord Li, I can't hide it, the situation in the capital is complicated, and the ancestor is also struggling to support it, the five immortals in the north, the dragon king of the great river, the powerful ghosts in the underworld, the overseas yakshas, and the masters of Taoism, the arhats of the temple, and the foremen of the estuary

, the god of the temple, the scholar of the Wenruo galaxy...... Although the ancestor is high, but the spirit is not orthodox, there is a lot of restraint, it is good to be able to stabilize the situation in the capital, and these little spirits dare not go out at will, otherwise they will have to be killed. ”

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his expression froze: "Where has the capital become, why are there so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”

"Don't you know that the country is about to die, and there must be demons? The luck of the Great Song Dynasty is declining, and the change of dynasty will be within a hundred years, and when the dynasty changes, the spirits in the capital steal the high position, Nacheng surrenders, and seeks the protection of the next dynasty, incense, so that it can last for hundreds of years.

The chubby eunuch said.

"Borrowing the fortune of the country to avoid robbery?" Li Xiuyuan immediately understood the meaning of his words.

"Yes, yes, some spirits are too guilty, so they hide in the capital, avoid lightning strikes, natural disasters, national fortune, and imperial energy, and ghosts and gods can't detect it. The chubby eunuch said: "But the demons and spirits who can mingle in the capital are extraordinary, and ordinary spirits cannot stand in the capital."

Foot, among the six doors of the imperial court, there are people who specialize in killing demons and demons. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "This is different from what I thought, I thought that the world is full of spirits, ghosts and gods, and there should be a little better in the capital, but now it seems that I am wrong." ”

The third fox sister next to her smiled and said: "Childe, haven't you heard that most of the officials of the imperial court are the star monarchs in the sky?

It's just that the time has not yet come, and the miracle is not visible. ”

"You say this, is it possible that the concubines and palace maids around the emperor are not mortals?" Li Xiu said from afar.

The third sister of the fox said: "This is a matter of nine times out of ten, the son does not hear the fox fairy Daji in the Shang Dynasty, Zhen Mi who was transformed by Luo Shen in the late Han Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan, the Taoist real person in the former dynasty, and the lady of the flower bud with ice muscles and jade bones, try to ask which woman who has been passed down through the ages is an ordinary person?

God, after all, how can an ordinary woman have the posture that fascinates all beings?"

"I read a lot of books, third sister, don't lie to me, it's not recorded in the historical records. Li Xiuyuan was surprised.

These words made him feel that the historical records he had learned before could be thrown into the kang and burned.

"Hehe, if Childe is famous in history, maybe the little sister Qing'e can also leave a name in history, does Childe think that the little sister is an ordinary person? Mortals can't see the truth of the matter with the naked eye, there are a lot of books in the green mountains of the slave family, and Childe may as well go and read it when he has time that day, the so-called historical records,

Legends of ghosts and gods are everywhere. The third sister of the fox said.

"Lying on the ice and begging for carp, it was the filial piety of a mortal who moved the god of water and gave him fish, otherwise how could mortals melt the ice and catch the fish?"

"Ye Gong is a good dragon, there is a real dragon who went down to worship Ye Gong, this is clearly recorded in the history books. ”

"Is Emperor Tang Ming's Moon Palace also a false rumor? The dragon horse picture of Zhang Seng Miao in the hands of the prince can be turned into a dragon horse and appear in the world, it can be seen that his finishing touch is also true, the slave family does not read much, I can only remember these, I don't know if I can convince the son?"

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and said suddenly: "When I go back, I asked Qing'e to burn the historical records at home." ”

The third sister of the fox chuckled: "It should indeed be burned, the historical records are to fool the people of later generations, the real high-ranking and powerful people will not believe this, they believe in the imperial history handed down from the dynasties in the palace, as well as the family history left by the various big clans, those are true."

History, but Childe's ability is here, and it is not difficult to extrapolate everything that has happened before. ”

"I haven't learned this skill yet, after all, I haven't studied Taoism, I just rely on divine power, although it is like Taoism, in fact, it is just the power of divine power. Li Xiu said from afar.

Theocratic?

The chubby eunuch was shocked when he heard this.

It is rumored that the saint in the world beheaded the Dongyue Divine Monarch and seized the divine power, and all the ghosts and gods in the world were shaken.

However, hearing is false, many ghosts and gods think that this is fake, what kind of god is Dongyue Shenjun, how can he be beaten down by a mortal from the heavenly palace and cut off the divine power.

Now it seems that this rumor is not false.

The saints in the world really have the divine power in their hands and have the ability to do the right thing for the heavens.

Thinking of this, this slightly chubby eunuch was even more in awe of Li Xiuyuan.

"I'm sorry, the topic has diverged a bit, where did you talk about it just now? Yes, there are a lot of ghosts and spirits in the capital, and there are so many spirits that the national teacher can't deal with them?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, yes, the ancestor's deeds are also dwarfed, this time the small one not only brought the holy decree, but also brought the ancestor's words. The chubby eunuch said.

"What?"

"Please go north to Beijing. ”

As he spoke, he immediately knelt on the ground, his head bowed, respectful and humble.
