Early the next morning.

Li Xiuyuan stood next to the water tank and couldn't help but look at a tattered rune paper that had been pecked on the ground.

Apparently, there were people who used spells to probe himself when he was in bed.

"No, the trap I left has taken effect, this paper crane was not pecked down by Lei Gong, it was knocked down by my spell, and then it was pecked by Lei Gong, so the purpose of this paper crane is not to investigate me, but to steal this white lotus?"

"It didn't even take a night to pass, and two passers-by came one after another? ”

Li Xiuyuan bent down and picked up the tattered rune paper: "This is the origami technique of the Daomen, could it be that there are still cultivators in the capital who have mixed in? No, no, the spells of the Daomen are not necessarily cast by the Daoists, and it is very likely that such spells are deliberately used to induce me to make mistakes, thus."

It's good to get rid of the connection. ”

He put the tattered paper talisman next to his nose and sniffed it.

There is no smell of incense in the temple, so it can be seen that it is not a spell cast by ghosts and gods, and there are no traces of the folding of cultivators on it.

Cultivators of origami cranes are taught by the master by word and deed, so the origami technique is fixed, and over time some habits have been formed.

Some Daomen people who have studied magic deeply can even tell which Dao disciple's spell was cast by the traces of origami.

"There's a scent on it, it's the scent of rouge...... This paper crane is the work of a woman. Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "But no matter how deep you hide, you will always cast a spell on this white lotus, no matter how cautious your spell is, you can't count it in my hands."

There is also a treasure that can be used to inquire into the past. ”

He wasted no time, took out the past mirror and probed it.

Sure enough, the picture in the mirror went back to last night.

When the sky was slightly bright, a paper crane flew from a certain direction in the capital, silently, and even Lei Gong, who was napping on the roof, was not alarmed, which showed that the way of this spell caster was extraordinary.

"It's not that Lei Gong didn't notice it, it's that there is no demon energy on this paper crane, Lei Gong is the most sensitive to demon energy, ghost energy, if there is no demon energy and ghost energy, it is just an ordinary paper crane flying in, then it will not attract Lei Gong's attention, is it possible that the person who casts the spell has even taken this into account? Or is it her cultivation

Xing has reached an extremely high level, and even his own demonic aura can fade?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the big red rooster hanging out in the yard and didn't think about it for a moment.

Follow the trail of the paper crane and investigate all the way.

Li Xiuyuan saw that the paper crane wandered around the capital several times, flying in an irregular manner, sometimes landing on the courtyard of a certain place, sometimes landing on the roof of a temple, and sometimes stopping on the eaves of ordinary people's homes.

He knew that this was done on purpose by the paper crane.

The more complicated the deeds, the more difficult it will be for the cultivators to use the method of calculation, and it can be said that the traces of paper cranes cannot be calculated at all.

Because there are so many things involved.

For example, the courtyard of a certain family, which is the residence of a high-ranking official of the imperial court, is it not difficult for you to calculate?

For example, on the roof of the temple, maybe there are gods and Buddhas who are stationed, don't you think that the gods and Buddhas themselves are causing trouble?

But there is always a source for this crane.

Finally, as soon as the picture stopped, Li Xiuyuan saw a painting boat docked on the river.

This painting boat is one of the many painting boats on the river, and there is nothing special about it.

However, there was a paper crane flying out of the window of the painted boat, and then there was a demonic aura running away, and that demonic aura Li Xiuyuan recognized that it was the doppelganger of the lotus essence.

"There must be a master of the Wutong Sect in the ship, and the lotus essence is asking that person for help, but in the past, the mirror was not omnipotent, and he couldn't see the scene in the cabin......" Li Xiuyuan lost the clue when he investigated here.

He knew that the thief was so cautious, and let the paper crane investigate, so it could be seen that he would not show up easily.

And the spell was broken at night, and the master of the Five Paths Sect also knew his ability.

It is estimated that there is already the idea of giving up the lotus essence.

"If I go to the painting boat to look for people now, I guess I won't be able to find anything, I'm already startled, and it would be a waste of time to go again. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and decided not to think about the matter of the Wutong Sect.

If this sect is really entrenched in the capital, it will still show its feet.

As for this lotus essence, continue to put it here for fishing.

Look at how many more thieves still bite the hook.

"Young Master, are you awake? At this time, a voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, interrupting Li Xiuyuan's thoughts.

Li Xiuyuan's gaze was taken back from the white lotus flower in the water tank: "It's Han Meng, what's the matter?"

"There is a rich boy who came to the dart bureau and said that he wanted to visit the eldest young master, and I heard Sha Jin say that the person's name is Du Wen, who is a famous yaman in the capital, and the dart head who went out with the eldest young master last time was worried that this person was looking for trouble, and the small one did not dare to be careless, so he came to tell the eldest young master. Han Meng said.

Duwen?

Li Xiuyuan remembered the dumb disciple who was frightened by the goblin yesterday, and said with a smile: "Just assume that he is here to find trouble, but it doesn't matter, it's just a dumb disciple, don't take it too seriously, but I really have to show my face in this matter, and I can't let this place be disturbed by this nonsense all the time." ”

Now.

Inside the lobby of the dart board.

Du Wen was no longer as frightened as yesterday, and returned to his usual posture, he sat there drinking tea, tilting his head to look at the darts inside and outside.

"It's really easy to find this son, I really didn't expect this Li Xiuyuan to live in the dart bureau Li, no wonder those people under my son didn't use it one by one, and it took a long time to find out a little news. ”

Although his face was calm, his heart was a little impatient.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Du Wen hurriedly said, "Don't you have a person here who makes tea? ”

A dart head with a dark face, but it is not good to offend this servant, after all, the owner has not yet come, so he said: "I made this tea, I am a rough man, I don't know how to do such fine work, and please forgive this son, the small one will be changed for the son." ”

After saying that, he took the tea again and left.

But he didn't go to the back kitchen, just walked around outside, spat a few mouthfuls of the tea, and then muddied it with his fingers and brought it back.

Du Wen took a sip after taking it, and said with satisfaction: "This hot and cold is almost the same, but the tea leaves are a little worse, and they are not as good as the tribute tea in my house." ”

The dart head looked at his nose and nose and his heart, but he didn't answer, only to see Du Wen eat his own saliva and feel happy in his heart.

And after a while, Li Xiuyuan strode in.

"Is it Du Wen, Du Gongzi? I just met yesterday, why is Du Gongzi so anxious to come to visit today? Is there something you want to come to me for advice? Although I should be happy when a guest comes to visit, but today I can't be happy in any way, Du Wengongzi

Tell me, what's going on?"

His attitude was not friendly.

After all, Du Wen's attitude towards himself before was also very bad.

Du Wen said: "Li Gongzi, I was a little offended by what happened last time, but you also fell on me, this matter should be settled, we are all scholars, we should be open-minded, we should not put some small frictions in our hearts, don't you care?"

Li Xiuyuan was surprised: "So Du Gongzi is here to take the blame and apologize?"

Du Wen's face sank and said: "The last thing between you and me has been settled, I am not here to ask for sin, I am here to learn from you the spell of catching ghosts and eliminating demons, I hope you can teach me." ”

Teach you to catch ghosts and eliminate demons?

Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and finally smiled dumbly: "I can't teach you, I won't teach, and I don't want to teach, if Du Gongzi has nothing to do, please go back, I am embarrassed to speak ill of you when you visit me today, if it is spread out, I think that my courtesy in this house is not careful, and people will see a joke."

, so please don't embarrass me. ”

This Duvine is really whimsical.

Yesterday I saw myself casting spells, and today I actually came to let me teach him spells.

Who does he think he is?

If you want to learn, do you have to teach yourself?

And I don't weigh myself, if this spell is easy to learn, what else will happen to me in the world?

There are masters who can cast spells everywhere, and there are no ghosts and spirits to mess around.

Du Wen did not leave in a rage, but stood up and said: "Li Xiuyuan, I know that you don't want to teach, so I thought of a way, I buy a spell from you, you teach me a spell, I will give you a thousand taels, if you teach me two spells, I will give you two thousand taels...... Come, give the silver

In. ”

After saying that, he called out.

Immediately, several servants brought in a chest.

The chest was opened, and it was filled with white silver.

"This is 10,000 taels of silver, if it is fake, only ask for ten spells. Du Wen pointed to a box of silver, quite smug.

In his opinion, there is no one in this world who cannot be impressed by 10,000 taels of silver.

is to go to the temple to burn incense, and give himself dozens of taels of silver, and the incense must not be obediently given to himself?

The six pure monks are still like this, not to mention this Li Xiuyuan.

"How, this is real money, teach on the spot, I will give it on the spot, and I will never be in arrears. Du Wendao.

"How dare you use silver money to humiliate my young master?" Han Meng on the side immediately became angry.

When he pursued the eldest young master, he seized millions of taels of silver when he was in turmoil in Jiushan, and the eldest young master didn't even look at it before taking it to disaster relief, rebuilding houses, and cities.

What is this 10,000 taels, this is not humiliating, what is it?

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to signal Han Meng not to say much, he smiled and said: "Du Gongzi is really generous, since you are so sincere, then I can't teach you." ”

"That's right, who will put the silver and not make money? This son thinks that you are powerful in magic and have good skills, if you are other Taoists, mages, this son will not even look at it. Du Wen nodded in satisfaction.

Li Xiuyuan said again: "It's just that there are many taboos in learning spells, because you often face gods and ghosts, so you not only have to have extraordinary courage, but also have a tenacious heart

Meaning teaches you some spells. ”
