"You say, our Senior Brother Chen finally got an arm, why is the clue still so unclear?"
The four of them walked in the wilderness wearing navy blue cloaks, Liu Bolun looked at the sun in the sky, and complained: "What kind of red whisk women's sleeves are gorgeous in an instant, just this clue is not the same as not saying, we are all out for a month, where are we going to find it?"
Shisheng on the side didn't speak, just looked around to watch the scenery, and Li Hanshan said: "After all, this glazed treasure house is one of the three magic weapons for ascending immortals, and it should be difficult to find it, if someone finds it lightly............"
"Trust me, it would have been worse. Chen Tu Nan answered.
As Liu Bolun said, it had been three months since they went down the mountain to find the magic weapon, but they still had no clue. This time, when they went down the mountain, they felt a slight change, because they were dressed in the costumes of Dou Miguan, so whenever they met those folk demon hunters, they looked at themselves strangely.
Since the last time the disciples of Yunlong Temple Doumiguan competed, the momentum of Doumiguan has become stronger, but Yunlong Temple still hasn't made any moves these days, and I don't know if it's my duty or other plans.
That's it anyway. Shisheng thought to himself that his mood was indeed much better after going down the mountain, after all, he had something to do every day on the road, and on the other hand, he had a lot less time to think about it.
As for Chen Tunan, Shisheng still admires him more, although this person doesn't like to talk much, and he is the most serious among the four, but Shisheng can see that this person has a kindness and justice in his bones.
And he is also quite easy-going, and he doesn't have the slightest shelf of a senior brother, so he and Liu Bolun have a good impression of him.
On this day, the four of them came all the way to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then Liu Bolun complained, Chen Tunan continued: "Actually, I hope this thing is difficult to find, because in this world, there are too many demon hunters and treasure hunters, if this thing is found by others in advance, then what I have to face is not monsters, but people." β
The three of them all nodded after listening to his words, yes, in some kind of Cheng dΓΉ, this world is much more difficult to deal with than monsters.
And at this moment, I saw Liu Bolun smile at Shisheng: "Shisheng, do you still recognize the place in front?"
Shisheng looked in the direction he pointed, only felt familiar but couldn't think of it for a while, and at this moment, he saw the white donkey behind the four of them scolding: "Bah, there used to be the old lady's nest in front!"
It turned out that everyone had gone all the way, and at this time they had returned to the place where they knew each other when they were born. The white donkey's sharp eyes had already recognized this place. And when it came to this, the white donkey had already rubbed up, and I saw it say to Liu Bolun: "Bolun, for you, the slave family doesn't even want a home, you must not bear me." Come on, official, you're tired, ride me, ride me!"
"you donkey. Liu Bolun pushed away the donkey's face with a smile, and then said to the three of them: "If nothing else, we should be able to get to the town before dark, and we don't have to spend the night in the wilderness............ I said, "Are you licking me?"
When the three of them saw that Liu Bolun was such a hero but was harassed all the way by a donkey, they couldn't help but feel funny, and between laughing and scolding, Shisheng suddenly remembered something.
I helped the rich businessman in the town find his son before, and then he didn't even get paid for it, so he went to Doumiguan, well, this time I must get the reward back, it's three sheep.
And Chen Tunan thought for a while, and then also said: "Well, this realm should be almost the sphere of influence of 'Ma Shangqian', he is a great benevolent guest of our Doumi Temple, our disciples can eat and live in their territory for free, after staying in the town for one night, let's leave for their market tomorrow, maybe we can get some news." β
'Ma Shang Qian' refers to a businessman, in this world, some businessmen can even be rich and rival the country, because there is no shortage of opportunities to make money in the troubled times, and this 'Ma Shang Qian' is a big horse merchant surnamed Qian, who sells war horses by wandering around various forces, and is the number one big businessman in the whole world.
Putting aside the idleness on the road, let's just talk about the four of them after they came to the town.
When they came to town, it was getting dark.
Walking on the street, Shisheng looked at both sides of the road, he hadn't been back here for almost a year, there was little change here, but it looked more and more dilapidated, there were few pedestrians on the dirty streets, and the teahouse where Hu Qinjing had been removed before had been closed at this time and had been changed into a brothel.
Everyone originally wanted to find a place to stay, but Shisheng said that he wanted to get back the three sheep that belonged to him, but there was no way, everyone knew that he had a problem with food, so they went with him.
Relying on his memory, he found the rich merchant's home, knocked on the courtyard door, and happened to meet the son of the rich merchant who had been saved by him before, and the son of the rich merchant hurriedly stepped forward to thank him after seeing the world: "Isn't this Engong? Engong, please accept my worship!"
Shisheng didn't care about this, so the son of the rich merchant hurriedly invited them in, and that night there was a big night banquet to thank Shisheng, during the banquet, the son of the rich merchant asked Shisheng: "Engong, I haven't seen you for a year, I didn't think that you were a famous disciple of Doumiguan." β
Shisheng nodded, chewed the mutton in his mouth and asked, "Yes, how was your year?"
Shisheng originally just asked casually, but when he thought that the little boy actually cried after listening to his words, he saw him get up and kneel down to Shisheng, and then cried: "Please be the master of the favor and me!"
When everyone saw him like this, they felt that there must be something hidden in him, so Liu Bolun said: "What is the manly husband crying about? What's the matter?"
I saw that after the little boy got up, he wiped his eyes, his face was haggard under the light, and he said to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, I am originally from this place, my father's surname is Xiao, and thanks to the help of these two benevolent fathers half a year ago, I was able to escape from the poisonous hands of that demon woman............"
Liu Bolun looked at this Xiao Gongzi and thought in his heart: You are a demon woman, but you don't know that the demon woman is now making forage in your yard.
So he asked this Xiao Gongzi to make a long story short, and Xiao Gongzi told him what happened.
It turned out that since he escaped from Yu Niangzi's private post a year ago, his health has been bad, and he has not gone out for more than half a year at home, and in this half year, there will always be some strange things at home, the silver in the cash cabinet and the grain in the granary will be less every few days, and at first, he thought that there was a thief at home, but after strengthening his vigilance, it was still the same.
That's why he thinks it should be the fox fairy and the ghost.
After Xiao Gongzi said this, he sighed to everyone: "After that, our family also invited Taoist priests, but it still didn't work, seeing that the family's money is getting less and less, my father is anxious, because I am now too weak to go out, so he personally sent the horse to a market in Macheng in the distance, but ............ But it's gone!"
It turned out that this Xiao family was also the next family of the 'horse merchant money', and the Xiao family would go to the bazaar of the Qian family in Macheng every year to send horses, but this time they went and did not come back, and there was no news for five months, and Xiao Gongzi sent people to inquire many times, but the news of Master Xiao was not heard, but he heard the rumors of haunting in the city.
Macheng is an important trading place of the Qian family, countless war horses flow out from there every year, and this year there is a news that the Qian Mansion in the city is haunted, according to legend, every midnight, the Qian Mansion courtyard will be lit up with red lanterns, the ghosts in the courtyard are longing, and even from time to time there are screams, but it will be normal in the daytime.
After the person sent by Xiao Gongzi came back, he said to Xiao Gongzi that it was said that someone saw Master Xiao enter the Qian Mansion, but he never came out after that, so Xiao Gongzi suspected that something had happened to his father.
"Something is wrong. Chen Tunan suddenly interrupted Xiao Gongzi's words, and then said: "The Qian family is a good guest of my Doumi Temple, and often asks me to fight for rice to eliminate demons, if his own mansion is haunted, then why don't you ask me for help from Doumi?"
"I don't know. I saw that Xiao Gongzi said with a sad face: "I once wrote to ask, but the response given by the Qian Mansion was normal, and they asked me to personally send this quarter's horse over a month ago, I am only afraid of ...... I'm just afraid of ............"
"You're just afraid that the Qian family has been controlled by demons, and you're afraid that your trip will be a demon, aren't you?" Liu Bolun said.
"Yes!" Xiao Gongzi cried and said: "After what happened a year ago, I am really afraid, so I want to ask all the Taoist elders to help me with this, and the reward is good, as long as I can find out my father's whereabouts, I will not hesitate even if I scatter all my family wealth." β
After everyone heard him say this, they also felt that he was a little pitiful, you said that this father and son were really unlucky, a year ago it was the father looking for the son, and now it is the son's turn to find the father.
After thinking for a while, I saw Chen Tunan open his mouth and said, "We are going to leave for the market in Macheng tomorrow, and we will help you." β
"Really?" I saw that Xiao Gongzi knelt down again, and Li Hanshan stepped forward to help him, and Chen Tunan said to him: "It is my duty to eliminate demons and defend the Dao." β
He is such a person, meticulous in his work, but he has a strong sense of justice in his heart. Li Hanshan looked at his senior brother, although he didn't talk much, he could always say what they wanted to express the most.
So it was decided, and after the meal, a few people didn't sleep, and wanted to help the poor Xiao Gongzi first find out why there was always money and food in this house. So they told Xiao Gongzi to lock the door at night and not come out, and leave the rest to them.
Shisheng was full of spirits, so he used his good nose to smell inside and outside the house repeatedly, except for the white donkey, there was no trace of demonic energy, so he sat on the counter and said to the four people: "It doesn't look like a monster?"
The three of them also felt the same way, so after discussion, they took advantage of the night to hide in the dark of the storehouse, wanting to see what the real reason for the loss of money and grain in this house was.
It was very dark, and in the blink of an eye, the willows were on the moon, and the drums above the town tower were heard beating three watches and three o'clock, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of the sound of the rope in the treasury where the silver coins were stored.
What is this?
(The two shifts are over, and will continue tomorrow.) οΌ
