That night, Shen Congrong and the two stayed in Li's mansion, and Shen Congrong's various arrangements, through the hands of Li Cong's cronies, were conveyed without attracting people's attention, and the time of one night was enough for Mulian Town to make all preparations.

The next day, Shen Congrong and the two said goodbye to Li Kun and went to the dock. Outside the Li Mansion, a figure saw Shen Congrong and the others coming out of the Li Mansion, and said goodbye to Li Kun in front of the mansion, so he rushed back to the Gutian Inn from another way to report.

In the Gutian Inn, Liu Hu was puzzled after listening to the report of his subordinates: "You said that they talked and laughed and said goodbye to each other at the door?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Liu Hu thought about what the problem was, he thought of a possibility, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Li Kun told his true identity and went to see the big array? Hmph, anyway, the big array can't find me, if Hu Lao Er is exposed, then the next thing needs to change." ”

After making up his mind, Liu Hu got up and tidied up his clothes and said, "Let's go, go back to Mulian Town with them." ”

At the dock, Hu Lao Er was already standing by the dock, ready to greet the boatman, Liu Hu appeared at the right time and shouted: "Eh, isn't this Hu Lao Er, you want to go back?"

When Hu Lao Er heard the shout, he turned his head to look, and after finding that it was Liu Hu, he saluted and said: "Coincidentally, Shopkeeper Liu, the time for this is indeed too long, and the work here is over, of course I will go back." ”

Liu Hu invited Hu Lao Er and said, "It just so happens that I'm going back, so let's take my boat." ”

Hu Lao Er looked a little embarrassed and said, "How embarrassing is this." ”

Liu Hu pretended to be angry and said, "Eh, what's so embarrassing about this, don't you look down on my ship?"

Hu Lao Er waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, since Shopkeeper Liu has said so, then it will be too bad for you not to sit down, thank you Shopkeeper Liu." ”

"It's okay, they're all from the same town, and they should help each other. Liu Hu said that this is not a matter.

At this time, Shen Congrong and the others appeared in Liu Hu's field of vision "at the right time", and Liu Hu beckoned and shouted, "The guest is going back?"

Shen calmly walked next to Liu Hu and arched his hand: "Yes, let's go back, I talked with Master Li for a day, and I gained a lot, and I agreed on a time for Master Li to come to the door, and now there are other things, go back and get the horse and set off." ”

Liu Hu invited: "It's just right, I'm going back too, why don't we go together?"

Shen said with a smile: "Naturally, it's the best, thank you shopkeeper Liu first." ”

Liu Hu turned sideways, ready to invite Shen Congrong to board the boat, this time he saw Hu Lao Er, and hurriedly said: "By the way, this is Hu Lao Er, a native of Mulian Town, he didn't go back to work in the field half a month ago, and he reported to his daughter-in-law in a hurry, who wants to work here, until now." ”

When Hu Lao Er heard Liu Hu introduce himself, he politely arched his hand, and Shen calmly nodded in response.

Liu Hu saw that Shen Congrong didn't behave anything special, as if he didn't know about the disappearance, and he had never seen Hu Laoer, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Please, let's all get on the boat." ”

After getting on the boat, Shen Congrong and the two were still arranged in the room when they came, and Hu Lao Er followed Liu Hu to Liu Hu's room on the grounds of reminiscence.

After Shen Congrong and the two entered the room, Feng Muge checked it as usual, and after confirming that there was no problem in the room, he pasted a soundproof note. Then he said: "Liu Hu only came to Mulian Town a month ago, what old story can he have with Hu Laoer? ”

Shen said calmly: "No matter what plan he arranges, Hu Lao Er can't get any information on his side, and we won't need Hu Lao Er for our next actions, if he still lets Hu Lao Er participate in his plan, it can only be a superfluous move, tonight, all his plans are in vain." ”

In Liu Hu's room, Liu Hu stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and Hu Lao Er stood respectfully behind him.

"What happened in the workshop, and why were there only the two of them?" Liu Hu asked.

Hu Lao Er replied: "Nothing happened in the workshop, everything is as usual, last night, the steward paid me and told me that I could go home, and I can only come back today." ”

"It's business as usual? Those two people didn't go to the workshop? This is impossible, they obviously saw you, and they also knew about the secret room, how could they not go?" Liu Hu didn't quite understand, and after thinking for a while, Liu Hu thought that Shen Congrong was the future Qintian Supervisor, and Feng Muge was also a master of Taoism, so it was not difficult to discover Hu Laoer's secret and tamper with it.

Turning his head to look at Hu Lao Er, Liu Hu pointed at Hu Lao Er's eyebrows, Hu Lao Er's eyes turned into a whirlpool under Liu Hu's movements, talking about everything that happened yesterday, including the content of the little demon who said Kuyuan Mountain, but he didn't know that all those words and spirits had disappeared.

Putting down his fingers, Liu Hu smiled and said: "Hmph, carving insect skills, but I actually let Li Kun temporarily clear his suspicion, it doesn't matter, as long as you go to ask about Kuyuanshan, in the end you still have to return to Li Kun's head." ”

slapped Hu Lao Er on the head, Hu Lao Er suddenly closed his eyes and softened, Liu Hu grabbed Hu Lao Er and let him sleep on the table, and he prepared some wine and food to go to Shen Congrong's room.

knocked on the door and reported his name, Feng Muge opened the door and invited Liu Hu to enter the door.

"When I go back this time, the guests will be leaving, and it is rare to have someone who has the same hobby, and must have two more drinks. Liu Hu put down the wine and food, these performances are just like what Li Kun said, when he meets someone with the same hobby, Liu Hu can't wait to follow the discussion.

Shen said calmly: "Then it's disrespectful, shopkeeper, please sit." ”

Along the way, several people drank and chatted like this, which seemed very harmonious, but they all had their own calculations in their hearts.

After arriving in Mulian Town, several people scattered and left, Shen Congrong and the two went to the town guard's house, Liu Hu returned to Qingyangju, Hu Lao Er went back to his own home, the people in the town saw Hu Lao Er and asked him where he went, Hu Lao Er just smiled and didn't talk much, but the news that the first missing person Hu Lao Er had returned had spread all over the town, and the families of other missing people came to ask him where he had gone and whether he had seen his family.

After Liu Hu returned to Qingyangju, he arranged with Sun He what to do if someone said that he was a person from Kuyuanshan, and then left.

In the town guard mansion, the news of Hu Laoer's return has spread, but Jin Yu, the town guard, did not show any joy, and did not ask Hu Laoer's house, because Shen Congrong had already sent someone to talk about it last night.

"My lord, can you really wipe out all the demons and rescue the villagers this time?" Jin Yu asked Shen Congrong.

Shen Congrong recalled the appearance and behavior of a famous spirit yesterday, wrote something on the paper, and said after hearing Jin Yu's words: "Don't worry, this time the demon chaos in Mulian Town can be solved, as for all the villagers to be rescued intact, there is no guarantee, they have been in the hands of the demon for a month, and it is very likely that they have become a half-demon, or even dead, and their bodies are occupied by demons." ”

"Well, I hope they're all okay. Jin Yu sighed, hoping that the villagers would all come back intact.

Shen Congrong's pen kept going, and soon, after drawing the last stroke of the talisman on the paper, he took out a straw villain, Shen Congrong pasted the paper on the villain, pinched a trick in his hand, and chanted a spell in his mouth. With Shen calmly's movements, the villain gradually turned into a real person, and his appearance was dressed up, which was a word spirit in the workshop yesterday.

Jin Yu looked at the person who was transformed from a straw villain, and asked with some shock, "What is this?"

Shen said calmly: "This is the spirit of the word, the spiritual object generated by borrowing the spiritual power and the words given to it, this time to find the villagers and destroy the nest of the demon, he is a very important part." ”

Jin Yu carefully looked at the word spirit and found that the word spirit was very similar to a person, and suddenly had the idea of wanting to touch it to see what the difference between it and a person was.

Shen calmly saw Jin Yu's thoughts and said: "The spirit of words is no different from a person, unless you take the initiative to test it, or ask about things that are not in the record, you can't see it, including touching." ”

Jin Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "By the way, the matter of Hu Laoer's return has been full of wind and rain in the city, is he?"

Shen said calmly: "He is also a word spirit, made by the demon, we used him to convey the message we want to convey to the demon, usually speaking, the demon made the word spirit because this person has not yet become a half-demon, and the body is still there, so he may still be alive." ”

Jin Yu nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Shen Congrong tied a thread on the character spirit, wrapped the other end around the compass, pinched a trick in his hand, pointed to the line, only to see the line slowly disappear, and a red dot appeared on the compass.

Putting away the compass, Shen calmly said to the word spirit: "Go." ”

After receiving the order, Zi Ling's eyes slowly cleared, and he left from the side door of the town guard mansion and went directly to Qingyang Residence.

Entering Qingyang Residence, Zi Ling walked to the counter and whispered to Sun He, "I'm from Kuyuan Mountain." ”

When Sun He heard this, he stopped what he was doing, looked up at Ziling, and Liu Hu explained that if someone said that he was from Kuyuan Mountain, he would point him to Li Mansion in Pinggu County. This is because he learned from Hu Lao Er that Shen Congrong had mastered this clue, and in order to point the finger at Li Kun, he arranged it, but the person in front of him was a person he had seen before, and he was the word spirit created by Liu Hu, should he say the same?

Sun He's heart was suddenly a little entangled, and Liu Hu was not in the store, this word spirit has been lurking in Li Kun's attack and defense, and now the code must have been discovered, if you say that this person is pointed to the Li Mansion, isn't it just sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Zi Ling saw that Sun He didn't answer for a long time, and said it again, Sun He gritted his teeth, thinking that it was his own person anyway, and it was okay. Then he replied, "Go out from the west of the town, go straight for thirty miles, and twenty miles to the south, and there is a willow tree on the top of the mountain, and strike it three times on the trunk, and someone will answer you." ”

After Zi Ling got the information, he left, and Sun He continued the work he was doing, waiting for the temptation that had ended.

In the town's guard, Shen calmly looked at the compass and said, "It's moving." ”
