Chapter 163: Outwitting the Heavenly Whisperer
Jinghai City, Lanzhou County. Goldfish Alley.
It was in the morning, and the streets were full of people and traffic, bustling and bustling.
"Borrow the light and let it go, let it go. ”
A horse-drawn carriage galloped along the street, turned in front of a teahouse, turned into Goldfish Alley, and after walking a short distance, the carriage stopped in front of a deep mansion compound with two golden characters written on the plaque.
As soon as the carriage stopped, three people got out of the car, one of them was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, who was Zhu Wu, the inspector of Lanzhou County, the other was a middle-aged woman wearing a hat and a light veil, and an old man in sackcloth with white hair.
When the three of them came to the door, the old man in sackcloth raised his hand and knocked on the knocker.
"Coming, coming, who?"
With the sound of footsteps in the compound, the vermilion lacquer gate creaked open, and a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes poked his head out, yawned and said, "Who are you looking for...... Zhu Inspector! Subordinate Fu Dabiao, see Inspector. ”
Zhu Wu frowned, and scolded: "Look at you like this, did you just wake up?
"Don't dare, don't dare. Fu Dabiao opened the door and said again and again, "The other fellow doors are on duty everywhere in the house, and no one dares to neglect their duties, please rest assured." ”
Zhu Wu's face was slightly gentle, and he waved his hand and said, "Take me to see Lu Daoyou." As he spoke, he whispered as he stepped through the door, "These days, how has Lu asked the machine's body to recover?
Fu Dabiao whispered: "It's still the same, half-dead without leaving home." But according to your orders, we are nominally here to protect him. It's not good to break in and check what the situation is. You'll have to go on patrol, and you'll see it yourself. ”
Zhu Wu nodded, together with the middle-aged female cultivator and the old man in Mai. followed Fu Dabiao towards the depths of the compound.
Lu Mansion looks small from the outside, but there is a hole in the inside, not only the area is not small, and the small bridges and flowing water pavilions are complete, but maybe the family road is ruined and lack of people to take care of it, everywhere is barren grass, a depression.
The four of them walked all the way, and after walking a short distance, there was a monk who appeared out of nowhere. Come and see Zhu Wu, it seems that this Lu Mansion is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the security is quite strict.
After about half a pillar of incense, the four of them came to the hall in the center of the compound, and a middle-aged man in yellow in his forties greeted him, with a look of panic on his face, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "Immortal Fu Chang, it's been hard work, I don't know what to order?"
Fu Dabiao said: "Steward Lu." Please inform Master Lu, and say that our inspector will personally visit him and invite him to come out to see him. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go. The middle-aged man in yellow said with a smile on his face. "A few immortals, please go to the living room and wait for a while, and I will arrange for someone to serve tea. ”
The group entered the living room. Steward Lu instructed the maid to bring tea and snacks, and hurried to invite the master.
Zhu Wu commanded Fu Dabiao: "Okay." It's none of your business here, go down. Watch the gate and don't let anyone in or out, remember?"
Fu Dabiao agreed again and again and retreated respectfully.
It didn't take long for Steward Lu to walk in from the side door with a one-eyed old man, who was none other than Lu Wenji, who was known as the first person in the East Earth Heavenly Whisperer.
Zhu Wu got up and saluted: "Master, Zhu took the liberty to visit, I don't know what happened to the master's noble body?"
Lu Wenji coughed again and again, and said weakly: "Thank you Zhu Inspector for still remembering my old bones, alas, old, old, Huangquan Road is near, don't mention it." As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Steward Lu, "I have something important to discuss with Zhu Inspector, you go down, and tell your subordinates not to come in and disturb." ”
After Steward Lu withdrew, Lu Wenji suddenly sighed inexplicably, and said gloomily: "Everyone, please be gentle when you kill me later, don't alarm the people who ask Xianlou." In addition, the poor Daoist family members are really innocent, and they hope that the three Taoist friends will spare their lives. ”
Zhu Wu's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Why did the master say this?"
Lu Wenji said proudly: "Your Excellency is not Zhu Wu, and the other two don't seem to be the ones who ask the Immortal Tower. Although the poor Dao is old and dizzy, if he can't even see this little thing, what kind of celestial talker is he?"
Zhu Wu was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "Even if I am not Zhu Wu, how can the master conclude that we are here to kill you, are you sure that you have a bloody disaster today?"
"Do you still need to count this?" Lu Wenji raised his hand and pointed at the old man in sackcloth, and continued, "This Taoist friend seems to have already moved to kill the poor Dao at the first glance, right? Otherwise, although Poor Dao is outnumbered, it is still possible to call the people who ask the immortal building. ”
Zhu Wu's face sank, and he said, "What can I do if I call? Except for the master, who can tell that I am not Zhu Wu? They dare to do something to their own patrol envoys?"
Lu asked the fuselage for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, it seems that Your Excellency has premeditated." It's just that there is something unclear about Poor Dao, I have never known you all my life, why do you want to kill me? Your Excellency can you give me a clear word, don't let Poor Dao be a fool. ”
At this time, the old man in sackcloth wiped his face, tore off a human skin mask, and revealed a slightly childish young face, "Ignorant of life?
"You, you, you, you......"
Lu Wenji was shocked, and pointed at the young man dumbfounded, unable to say a word in a trembling voice.
Zhu Wudao: "Brother Tan, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's take him out first." ”
The old man in sackcloth was naturally played by Tan Yang, Zhu Wu was transformed by Hu Meier, and the middle-aged female cultivator was actually the disguised Zhang Sihai!
Tan Yang nodded, Hu Mei'er turned his head and asked Lu, "Master Lu, you should know very well that staying here is definitely a dead end, and there may be a glimmer of life if you go with us, you can choose what to do!"
"Wrongs and injustices are poor and greedy, and they can't complain about others. Lu Wenji muttered, "I'll go with you, but there are many eyes and ears here." I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this gate. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, since we can come in. You can get out. Tan Yang said, "Now." You call that butler in. ”
Although Lu Wenji didn't know why, he still picked up a small bell from the table and shook it.
After a while, Steward Lu hurriedly ran in, and before he could speak, Zhu Wu, who had been transformed by Hu Mei'er, ordered: "Steward Lu, we have to take the master back to ask the Immortal Tower." Take off your tunic and go to the master's bedroom and stay there, not allowed to come out for two days. Also, don't let anyone see you along the way. Including the people we asked about the fairy building. ”
Steward Lu was confused when he heard this, and muttered: "This is no problem, my master's bedroom is in the backyard, others won't see it, it's just ......" As he spoke, he looked at Lu Wenji uncertainly.
Lu Wenji seemed to vaguely guess something, and said, "Whatever Inspector Zhu tells you to do, you don't have to ask me." ”
The kung fu of a stick of incense has passed, under the skillful hands of Hu Meier. Lu Wenji has become a middle-aged woman wearing a hat and a light gauze cover, while Zhang Sihai has become a housekeeper Lu in yellow. Even Lu Wenji was secretly amazed.
As soon as Qiē was about to stop, the fake Zhu Wu and the others walked out of the living room, accompanied by the fake butler Lu. Swaggering towards the gate.
Sure enough, all the way. The monks on duty came up to say goodbye to the inspectors, but none of them saw the flaws.
Walk to the gate. Fu Dabiao ran up from the gatehouse, opened the door first, and then said with a smile on his face: "Subordinate Fu Dabiao, send off the inspector." ”
Fake Zhu Wu nodded, waved his hand to signal Tan Yang and the others to get into the carriage first, and then whispered: "Lu Wenji's body is almost recovered, and he already has the ability to fly away, just in case, I will bring this Steward Lu back to Qianxian Lou as a hostage, Steward Lu is the nephew and nephew of this old guy, and he has to take care of one or two." ”
"Gao! The inspector is so clever!" Fu Dabiao complimented, "The subordinates admire, really admire." ”
Fake Zhu Wudao: "Although there are hostages in hand, you are not allowed to relax your vigilance." In addition, this time the old guy is angry, you inform everyone that no one is allowed to approach the old guy's residence these days, if you make him angry, I will ask you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Fu Dabiao agreed.
Seeing the fake Zhu Wu get into the carriage and leave, Fu Dabiao suddenly realized at this time, no wonder the dignified inspector wanted to come in the carriage, it turned out that he was secretly arresting people!
The carriage galloped all the way to a remote alley.
Tan Yang and the others got out of the carriage, and at this time he had become an ordinary young monk wearing a human skin mask; Hu Mei'er had restored his daughter's body; Zhang Sihai had also recovered his original state; only Lu Wenji was still dressed in women's clothes, but his face had changed, and his hat and veil had disappeared.
"Brother Yu, you drive the carriage out of Jinghai City. Tan Yang smiled and ordered, "Even the horse and cart are thrown together, we have to leave some clues for asking Xianlou, remember not to throw it too far, lest it be difficult for people to ask Xianlou to find it." ”
"No problem, just wait and see!"
The coachman agreed and drove away, it turned out that the coachman was dressed by Yu Xiaoyu.
"Alright. Tan Yang continued, "Mei'er, you take Lu Wenji, and I take Senior Brother Zhang, and we will move separately into the inner realm of Qingyi, and meet our Bandung business, and be careful on the road." ”
"What?" Lu Wenji couldn't help but lose his voice, "Qingyi's inner realm is the territory of Xianlou, you ...... Aren't you throwing yourself into the net?"
Tan Yang smiled disdainfully and sneered: "It's a shame that you're still a celestial whisperer, you don't even understand this, your age has grown to a dog?"
Hu Mei'er couldn't bear it, and explained: "Master Lu, ask the power of Xianlou all over the world, how far can you escape even if you escape from Jinghai City? It is better to go to Qingyi's inner realm first to hide from the wind and then make plans, it is precisely because Qingyi's inner realm is under their noses that they would not think that you would actually hide in their house." ”
Lu Wenji was stunned for a long time before he suddenly realized, and said with a wry smile: "Tan Daoyou scolded well, Poor Dao has really been in vain all these years, heroes are teenagers, heroes are teenagers! When I saw Tan Daoyou for the first time at the foot of Panlong Mountain, Poor Daoyou knew that Tan Daoyou was definitely not very human......
Tan Yang interrupted coldly: "Stop, you really can't open any pot, if I knew that you would go to Panlong Mountain, I should have killed you a long time ago, and my parents would not have been killed." ”
Lu Wenji was shocked and said, "My parents were killed?"
"It's not good, someone is coming, let's go!" Hu Mei'er said suddenly.
