Chapter 17: Catching the Thief
Xu Xian's Baiyaotang has begun to get on the right track, and business has also improved slightly, but Li Gongfu Li Zhutou has been a little sad recently.
On this day, Xu Xian was sitting in the pharmacy, and when he looked up, his sister Xu Jiaorong came, Xu Xian hurriedly got up and asked.
"Sister, is there something going on at home?"
Generally speaking, Xu Jiaorong would not come to the pharmacy at this time, but now that she is here, there must be something wrong with her family. Sure enough, Xu Jiaorong's eyes turned red.
"Hanwen, your brother-in-law was beaten by Hu County's order?"
"Beaten by Hu County's order?
Xu Xian knew very well that Li Gongfu was conscientious and conscientious, why was he beaten by Hu Xian for no reason?
Xu Jiaorong wiped her tears and choked up.
"Hanwen, it's not because the treasury silver was stolen, the snitch is difficult to catch, and Hu Xianling hit your brother-in-law's board. ”
As soon as Xu Jiaorong said that the treasury silver was stolen, Xu Xian was stunned, and then looked at the white bat on the side and said.
"You did it?"
The white bat hurriedly shook his head and argued.
"Sir, I haven't stolen any silver. ”
If it's not a white bat, who would it be?
"Sister, don't be in a hurry, I'll go get the white medicine and medicinal wine, go back with you, and ask my brother-in-law what the situation is. ”
Xu Xian and Xu Jiaorong returned home, Li Gongfu was lying on the bed, and it seemed that this board was not lightly beaten.
"Brother-in-law, I'll treat your injuries first, and I'll talk about other things later. ”
Li Gongfu's external injury looks scary, but in fact, it is nothing to treat, clean up the wound, disinfect it with medicinal wine, and finally apply white medicine. As long as there is no fever and no inflammation, the wound will heal in three to five days and will soon get better.
After treating the injury, Xu Xian asked.
"Brother-in-law, do you have eyebrows about the snitch?"
As soon as he talked about the thief who stole the silver, Li Gongfu was angry.
"Hanwen, we have seen this snitch, but we didn't expect that this snitch would actually be able to penetrate the wall, so we let him run away. Originally, if I hadn't seen this snitch, everything would have been fine, but now, when we found the snitch, we let him run away, and Hu Xianling said that I didn't catch the thief effectively, which was really angry. ”
It's funny that it's a snitch who can do magic.
"Brother-in-law, do you really see that this snitch can penetrate walls?"
Li Gongfu nodded heavily.
"Hanwen, we have already surrounded this snitch in the corner, but we didn't expect this snitch to walk through the wall, how can we catch this?"
When Li Gongfu said this, Xu Xian knew it in his heart.
"Brother-in-law, you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't get angry and hurt your liver. ”
After Xu Xian comforted Li Gongfu, he came out of the house, left the decoction for recuperation, and left his sister's house.
Back in Baiyaotang, as soon as Xu Xian told the county government about the theft of the treasury silver, Xiaoqing came to his senses, and the white bats on the side were also eager to try, only Ding Li was very calm.
"Xu Xian, this snitch knows spells, but he does these things of stealing chickens and dogs, so we will accept him. ”
Before, Xu Xian had always said to Xiaoqing that he should not show his divine powers in front of others, this was to reduce trouble, but now, if someone uses magic to do evil, then he can't be spared.
"White Bat, you are an old man in Qiantang County, what do you know?"
The white bat thought for a while, a little uncertain.
"Master, I heard that in the Bagua Mountain, there are people who know how to use demons, isn't this snitch from the Bagua Mountain?"
Bagua Mountain?
Haven't heard of it.
Seeing Xu Xian frowning, the white bat said again.
"Master, there is a big demon in Bagua Mountain, called Mrs. Pansi, and her means are very strong. ”
Mrs. Pansi?
Xu Xian thought about it for a while, and knew that this Mrs. Pansi must be a spider spirit, which made Xu Xian stretch out his right hand, and a black spider appeared, which was the spider spirit that Qingluo asked Xu Xian to take care of before, in fact, this black spider is not called Black Widow, but Black Yu'er.
"Xiaoqing, let's go meet this snitch and see what kind of way this snitch came from, and he is so ostentatious in the market. ”
"Okay, Xu Xian, I will let him know that I am powerful. ”
As soon as she heard that there was a fight, Xiaoqing became excited.
Xu Xian looked at Xiaoqing's excited appearance and smiled helplessly.
"Xiaoqing, we're going to catch thieves, not to kill people, you don't want to break people. ”
"Got it, got it, nerd. ”
It was night, and the white bats went to reconnoitre, and soon the white bats came back to report.
"Master, the snitch is here!"
These words lifted everyone's spirits, and finally came.
Lu Liu's life has been very lively recently, since he took refuge in Bagua Mountain and learned this wall-piercing technique, it is really free. Look, this Qiantang County's treasury silver is just like his own family, he can come when he wants, he can take it when he wants, what is the use of catching these quick catches? A few days ago, the head catcher named Li Gongfu still had two hits, but as soon as he was teased by himself, he was beaten by Hu County's order, and he couldn't come. The rest of these crooked melons and cracked dates, they just came in with a swagger, and they didn't recruit them.
Lu Liu was really proud, completely ignoring the guard Kuyin's catch, looking at the locked door in front of him, he laughed contemptuously, and his body was vertical, and he actually entered through the wall, this spell is not bad.
Lu Liu took the silver, walked out through the wall, and happily said hello to the catcher who was guarding outside, and then came out through the wall. It can be seen that Lu Liu is really unscrupulous.
"Xu Xian, this thief doesn't take others too seriously, right?"
Xiaoqing could see at a glance that the thief in front of him had no strength at all, so he relied on the wall-piercing technique to eat. But don't say it, one trick is fresh, eat all over the world, this thief in front of him is like this, it is not easy for ordinary people to catch him.
"Xiaoqing, this is arrogant, after learning some skills, there is no one in sight, but everyone knows that there is no way for good and evil, only people call themselves? Okay, are you all ready? We will lay a net of heaven and earth, so that this snitch has nowhere to escape. ”
Xiaoqing, who appeared first, waved the male yellow sword in his hand, and his posture was heroic, and he was not good at first glance. This made Lu Liuyi stunned, and hurriedly ran to the other side, but he didn't expect that Ding Li had been waiting for a long time. Looking at the sturdy Ding Li, Lu Liu weighed it and decided to change directions.
However, this time, Lu Liu wanted to use the wall-piercing technique to completely shake off these people in front of him. Lu Liu thought it was quite beautiful, but he didn't expect that as soon as he performed the wall-piercing technique, he was slapped down by a white bat.
This road is not working!
There was only Xu Xian left in front of him, Lu Liu gritted his teeth and walked towards Xu Xian, it seemed that Lu Liu was going to fight to the death. However, Xu Xian would not give him a chance, touched the black jade in the palm of his hand, and said softly.
"Xiao Yu'er, it's time for us to play. ”
As soon as Xu Xian's words fell, she saw Hei Yu'er take a sharp breath, and then a crystal clear spider web erupted from her mouth, enveloping Lu Liu in an instant. At this time, Lu Liu knew that he was wrong, and the seemingly weak scholar in front of him was the hardest.
Xu Xian walked up to Lu Liu, looked at Lu Liu with a depressed face, and said with a smile.
"What's your name, where are you from?"
Lu Liu looked at the smile on Xu Xian's face, and trembled, this white-faced scholar was too terrifying.
"Childe, my name is Lu Liu, I am from Bagua Mountain, and I am a subordinate of Mrs. Pansi. ”
At this time, Lu Liu was still pulling tiger skins to make a big banner, wanting to rely on the name of Mrs. Pansi to scare off this white-faced scholar. It's a pity that Xu Xian was not frightened.
"It turns out that you are from Bagua Mountain, then I understand. In this way, I will give you two choices: one is to accept your ability and let you live, and the other is to seal your mana and send it to the yamen, which one do you choose?"
Xu Xian is not nonsense, he sealed the mana and sent it to the yamen, but there was no way to live at all. Lu Liu knew very well that he went down the mountain without permission, and no one would come to save him. In this case, there is only one option.
"Childe, I'll pick the first one. ”
"That's good. Ding Li, take his spell and let him go. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Ding Li stepped forward and slapped his palm on Lu Liu's dantian, and immediately Lu Liu felt that his mana was gone. This made Lu Liu a little resentful, glanced at Xu Xian, and quickly ran towards the outside of the city.
"Xu Xian, why did you let him go?"
Xiaoqing didn't understand.
"Xiaoqing, are you going to kill him?"
Xiaoqing was asked by Xu Xian like this, but hesitated, if it was before, he would have killed it casually, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he is not a county master, how can he decide the life and death of others? Besides, this theft of treasury silver is not a death.
"Xu Xian, what is there to say here?"
Xu Xian looked at Xiaoqing with an expectant look on his face and sighed slightly.
"Although we cultivators are saying that we are going against the sky, we must do things in a natural way. I don't want to kill him, I don't want him to continue to do evil, that's all I have to say. ”
Xiaoqing thought for a while and felt that although Xu Xian did this, although it was very reasonable, he felt that something was wrong.
"Xu Xian, if this person can wake up, then everything is okay to say, but if this person is revenged, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble?"
Xiaoqing's worries are very reasonable, but Xu Xian's cultivation has already found his own way so far, this is the Tao of nature, that is, the way of heaven, and acting according to the way of heaven is just.
"Xiaoqing, there are yin and yang in this world, there are good and evil, but these are all troubles outside the body. For those of us who cultivate the Dao, the most important thing is to keep our original heart, and my Tao is the natural way of the Dao, so how can we mess up our original heart because of the disturbances of the outside world?"
Xu Xian's perception made Xiaoqing think for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she laughed.
"Xu Xian, I don't care what is the way or not, I know that I am determined to follow you, whoever is against you is my opponent!"
Xiaoqing's words made Xu Xian smile bitterly, he is really a child!
