Mozun is forced to farm
Chapter 22
Lin Zhu lay on the cloud, afraid of falling and couldn't see the scenery below clearly.
"Go ahead...then turn right and you'll be there."
Xie Xuechen groaned, and the cloud shook accordingly.
"Ahhh!!" Lin Zhu grasped the edge with both hands: "I'm afraid of heights Brother Xuechen!! Don't scare me!!"
"Still grabbing the peaches?"
Lin Zhu: ... Brother, how old are you this year? ?
Xie Mingyan witnessed the whole process, and silently turned her head.
I can't stand it anymore, let's take his surname off and call him Gou Xuechen.
The four of them still had some consideration, and they took the cloud directly to the Wujiazhuangzi without making a fuss, found a wood not far away, and then walked over there.
The young master of the Wu family was smiling at the guests at the door, the gifts, horses and horses at the main entrance of the manor were like flowing water, and the guests were all gathered together.
He saw Xuechen in the crowd at a glance, and clapped his hands loudly: "Hero!"
Xie Xuechen took a step back, blocking it with bamboo.
Lin Zhu: "Hahaha long time no see."
"Lin Juren!" The young master of the Wu family bought their cloud satin earlier, and today he specially changed into this bright and colorful dress, smiling brightly: "I forgot to introduce myself. I have worked hard today in Xiawubei Pavilion. Everyone, come here to celebrate your birthday, by the way... Where are the horses and chariots? You are welcome, let the servants take them to our stables and take good care of them!"
Lin Zhu's short-circuited smile froze on his face for a moment.
Xie Xuechen said indifferently: "He came."
Wu Beige expressed admiration: "As expected of someone in the martial arts world, he has such good lightness kung fu!"
Lin Zhu: All right, whatever you say is what it is.
They unwrapped the gift box of the walnut guest, and held out their long, thick fangs with one hand.
During the politeness earlier, there was still a lot of excitement going in and out from the side.
When the two pig teeth came out, the conversation around stopped abruptly and turned into silence.
Wubei Pavilion was already startled: "This—how can I bear this!"
He has been running a shop with his father for many years, and he has only seen ivory as long as half an arm, and he dare not accept such expensive goods easily.
Now I only met Xie Yingxiong once, but he actually found such a rare item! !
Not only Wubei Pavilion was shocked, but the aunts and businessmen who were eating melon seeds and chatting next to them all seemed to be frozen in place. The impact of seeing this thing up close was no less than seeing a god descending to earth.
Are there really such thick and long ivory? !
"To be honest," Xie Xuechen said calmly, "This is a pig's tusk, not taken from an elephant."
"There were wild boars making trouble in the back mountain, so I hunted them away."
Mr. Wu was the first to react, shouted a hero and rushed over to toast.
Their family can make friends with such a powerful person, what a support they will have in the future!
The one who can clear up and confiscate all the horse bandits at the top, has the courage and courage, and dares to eliminate harm for the people and kill this wild boar spirit at the bottom. !
A group of people were surrounded and sent to the table. Before the table started, there were melon and fruit snacks on the plate. It was really dazzled.
Although among these four people, Xie Xuechen is as expensive as an emperor, Xie Mingyan was once a fairy, Su Hongxiu came from a famous family, and he has seen too many banquets and delicacies.
But whoever stays in this barren mountain for a few days, every meal can eat an egg is fresh, and it will be so refreshing to eat again.
Rose Crisp!Custard cake!As many melon seed scones as you want!
You don’t need to start the stove, you don’t need to wash the dishes, you can’t take the big apples with you if you can’t finish them, the walnuts are smashed, peeled, and piled up in a small bowl, and you can add them at any time after eating.
Lin Zhu didn't get this kind of treatment during the Chinese New Year, and he was already clenching his sleeves when he saw the luxurious running water banquet like a harvest feast.
"Restraint." Xie Xuechen said gently: "You are a juror anyway, pay attention to your appearance."
Before the words were finished, the courteous waiter beat the gong to indicate the food, and the beautiful maids walked out quickly with long plates. The cold dishes included drunk crabs soaked in salt and wine, and they opened their shells together to reveal lumps of butter.
The Wusheng plate imitated the style left over from the Tang Dynasty. The meat of pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys and deer was thinly sliced. Although it seemed to be stained with blood, it was wrapped in sauce and rolled into the mouth. After a while, it will be filled with sweet fragrance and endless aftertaste.
After such a variety of cold dishes have been used, the first big dish is roast suckling pig.
The golden one is brushed with honey, the smell of the meat blends with the melon stuffed in the stomach, it is both clear and fragrant, and the multi-layered meat is cut open, and it glistens brightly, and the fire is just right.
Lin Zhu heard the sound of saliva swallowing very clearly.
When he looked up, the man was still expressionless and indebted.
Just pretend, keep pretending, I'll eat all the meat later, heh heh.
The second dish is sea bass stewed with green bamboo shoots. The fish is carefully weighed and weighed, and all fish under five catties are not allowed.
Sea bass flowers are carefully picked out before cooking, and then put on top of the skull after the fragrant soup is sprinkled with green onions.
Before the sea bass moved a few chopsticks, the freshly picked sweet potato sprouts had been stir-fried several times over charcoal fire and served.
The bright green color can relieve the greasy taste just by looking at it, and it is even more crisp and elastic in the mouth. The clear feeling goes from the tongue to the stomach, like drinking a full cup of mountain spring water for no reason.
Eighteen dishes were served one by one, and the singing and dancing during the banquet became more and more new. There were even torch-playing and stilt-walking teams passing by, winning countless applause.
A few outsiders have never seen acrobatics while eating a banquet. When the monkey show was over, the little monkey even touched the apple on Su Hong's sleeve table, chewed and waved goodbye to her.
As a Juren, even if he has not been admitted to a higher degree, Lin Zhu is highly respected in ten miles and eight villages.
According to the rules of this dynasty, just being admitted as a scholar, you can meet the magistrate in the yamen and still not bow down, and you can be exempted from taxes and corvee if you pass the exam, life is much lighter than ordinary people.
Even if he hadn't introduced himself, there were many people who toasted frequently during the banquet, and they were very friendly during the conversation, and he didn't shy away from it.
While watching the dancers whirling around, everyone chatted about new events in the nearby city of Quzhou. They said that the matter of the prefect and prefect who stole stolen goods could not be contained in the paper, and was beheaded on the spot by the special envoy with Shangfang's sword. Not to mention, the seven or eight aunts and wives in the family were all implicated, and handed over many jewelry land deeds to settle the account.
Not only that, the imperial court sent an upright and good official to Quzhou, and specially found the storyteller who took the risk to fight the injustice, and invited him to become a teacher in the yamen.
"What about the booty?"
"It's more than just stolen goods! The houses of the two high officials were directly ransacked, and all the dirty money was used to repair river embankments and build nursing homes. I heard that many children and elderly people who fled famine were adopted. The new magistrate often went to see them." They!"
Speaking of this, the guests at the banquet applauded loudly, and they all listened happily.
The sound of silk and bamboo became more and more rapid, and suddenly someone kicked open the door, and with a wave of hands, servants rushed in, and with a sneer, they drew out their long knives.
"It's such a lively day, why don't you come to invite me, your grandfather?!"
Xie Xuechen was peeling the shell of the drunken shrimp, and raised his lower eyelids slightly upon hearing the sound.
Lin Zhu laughed at him: "You can't eat it directly, and the shell is also very crisp."
Xie Xuechen glanced at him, and Xia handed it over: "Are you coming?"
Lin Zhu was not angry, on the contrary, he really peeled off the shell and separated the flesh two or three times, and his fingertips didn't get any wine.
There were already guests standing up in front of the door, not daring to stay any longer in such a dangerous place.
But waiting for them to run away, the domineering and strong man has already called his buddies to block the front and rear halls, and the Wu family's own servants have also mixed in, as if they were all rebellious!
"Father and son of the Wu family are very capable. They dared to rob people of good land and demolish their houses. I heard that they even killed several children of young widows. They took people into their homes and were not allowed to report to the officials?"
The strong man swung his long knife, and the guests all fell back suddenly, for fear of being affected.
But the faces of those who were still wishing birthday blessings before all changed, and they couldn't believe what he said.
The Wu family has always loved their neighbors and loved their neighbors, and when they do business with acquaintances, they don't bargain or talk about the price, and they often give away a lot of good things. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most kind-hearted rich people in the neighborhood, but in private? !
Wubei Pavilion was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat someone up, his face flushed and he said angrily: "How can you be so innocent! My family has never done half of the evil things you said, the conscience of heaven and earth!"
"Oh, then why did I come to bother you?" The brawny man asked back: "Everyone can see that the flies don't bite the seamless eggs. I am epileptic and suddenly came to you to make me feel uncomfortable?!"
"Your Wu family treats people kindly on the surface, but in fact everyone is a corrupt beast. My little sister is still imprisoned in your dungeon, isn't she?!"
Everyone changed their colors in unison, and when they looked at Wubei Pavilion again, they were all full of interrogation.
Are you still a human, why don't you let your younger sister go quickly? ?
The old man of the Wu family was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the rascal, "You—you—"
Xie Xuechen cut another half-leg of roast suckling pig, sliced the meat with a slanted knife, dipped it in sugar and ate it slowly.
Su Hongxiu has already checked with her spiritual sense. The cellar of his house is full of ice, there is a fart girl, and the so-called miserable widow can't be found in the front house or backyard. She already has a conclusion in her heart.
Seeing that the old man's eyeballs were about to pop out, she turned sideways and said, "I'm going?"
Xie Xuechen smiled lightly: "Don't spill blood on my side, the eight-treasure rice hasn't been served yet."
The brawny man really came prepared this time, as if he wanted to take advantage of the pot of dirty water to turn the Wu family upside down, and shouted angrily: "How can you pretend to be a loyal person now!"
"Slow down." A girl in pink stood up calmly in the crowd: "If you have something to do, go to the government, don't come here to make trouble, everyone is having a feast, didn't you see?"
"Who are you?" The rascal sneered, "Why, you are Wu Xinna's concubine, have you come here to fight him?"
Su Hongxiu leaned over and took a tube of chopsticks, and said softly, "What did you say?"
"I said, get out." The rascal said with a stare, "If you delay the Lord's justice any longer, be careful—"
Before he finished speaking, a chopstick stabbed towards him with strong wind, directly nailing his whole hand to the wall!
Passers-by at the banquet: "Oh——"
"You! You!!" The strong man cried out in pain, cursing: "What are you doing, you tied her up and searched the house!!"
The servants inside and outside looked at each other, grabbed a long stick and rushed over to subdue her.
Su Hongxiu raised her eyes and smiled, and threw out the full barrel of chopsticks with her backhand.
This time, without waiting for the servant to react, 37 thin bamboo chopsticks shot out from the heart, pinning people one, two, three, four, five to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers, the speed is dizzying!
It was as if she had just raised her hand, and the group of servants fell to the ground one by one like dominoes, spouting blood like a fountain!
Passers-by at the banquet: "Wow——"
Lin Zhu was startled, and wondered if this is the female devil, and turned around trying to make eye contact with Xie Xuechen.
"Hey? Where's Xuechen?"
The burly man on this side swallowed his chopsticks enduring the pain, seeing his subordinates being killed or disabled by this monster, he pinned his hopes on the other side, and tried his best to delay the time.
"What kind of witchcraft are you using! If you have the ability, kill me alone!"
The guests at the table looked at Zhi Leng: "Hey——"
"Hey what!" The strong man scolded: "I fight, you are laughing at me, aren't you?"
Su Hongxiu originally wanted to take advantage of the rare chicken soup to go back to the table and continue eating before it cooled down, but now she lost interest and frowned and said, "You are making such a fuss, why on earth?"
The face of the old man of the Wu family was pale, he was afraid that the scoundrel would say it in front of everyone.
The strong man seemed to have sensed it, but he swallowed it after gritting his teeth, cursing: "Don't dare to hit me anymore? Are you afraid?"
Is it okay over there? Hurry up!At this time there is no fire or what!
Su Hongxiu said yes, and walked towards him empty-handed.
Seeing her walking so fast, the strong man was inexplicably startled, and raised his long knife high up to threaten him: "Be careful, I cut off half of your arm—"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman in pink had already flashed in front of her, slashing down fiercely like a knife.
The guests are drinking the soup: "Hiss!"
It's true that the more pink she wears, the harder she beats people. That woman obviously didn't even hold a stick, and she almost beat people into pigs' heads!
Wubei Pavilion was already applauding wildly: "The girl is so skilled!!"
On the other side, in the backyard of the Wu family, a few servants were burning straw with a torch.
It's really strange, there is no wind or rain today, why can't it burn? !
There was already a fight ahead, and if they didn't hurry up, they might be arrested!
Just as he was puffing out his cheeks and blowing air, someone behind him suddenly spoke.
"What about setting fire?"
"Yeah, I'm in a hurry, don't make any trouble," the servant scolded, "What are you watching, hurry up and get out!"
After scolding, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, there was a man in black robe standing behind him, who looked like the legendary general who killed bandits by himself! !
Xie Xuechen smiled.
"Did your parents teach you not to make trouble on other people's birthdays, huh?"
"Ah, this, this..." The servants looked at each other, and were about to run away.
The flames that were still a little bit earlier suddenly jumped up to the height, and swallowed all four of them, without even screaming for half a lifetime!
Xie Xuechen watched the man burn into charcoal, and didn't leave for a while.
What's wrong with this group of people? They only pick people's birthdays to do it.
He stood there thinking about his life, a familiar tremor came from the ground near and far, and a dog's head suddenly popped out.
"Ow!"
"Didn't I ask you to look after the house?" Mozun frowned and looked at Fa Cai with his tongue sticking out, "What are you doing here?"
The dog's head licked the still smoldering flames very honestly, looking at it and wanting to eat it.
"You can't eat this." Xie Xuechen knelt down and patted him on the head: "It's too bad luck. If you want to eat it, you can go to someone else's field and eat something casually. When you are full, go back to watch the house, you know."
"Wang Wang!"
In the main courtyard, the strong man could no longer hold a knife, and he was paralyzed on the ground.
Someone from the yamen soon came to collect the body and shoulders, and there were enthusiastic people to help testify, saying that this person rushed in out of nowhere and made a fuss, and no one knew what he was crazy about.
Wubei Pavilion waited on the old man to calm his breath, and comforted all the guests to go home with generous gifts.
"The reception is not good today, please forgive me!"
The guests also accept it as soon as they see it: "We still get money when we come to the banquet, isn't it good..."
"What problems in your family can be resolved peacefully, we still believe in you!"
"That's right, why have I never heard of your family occupying fertile land... I almost believed the nonsense of that person just now!"
"It must be, we will settle it with the government!"
When everyone was almost gone, the officials in the yamen also waved their hands.
"There are too many people here. You guys must be shocked. Take a rest first. We will come to you tomorrow after registration."
"Alright, be careful all the way!"
Wubei Pavilion sent them out of the door one after another, and when they turned around, they saw Su Hongxiu serving soup.
"Could someone bring the heat?" Su Hongxiu frowned and said, "Why did it get cold so quickly?"
"Cuihua! Bicao! Hurry up and give the heroine hot soup!!"
Xie Mingyan was still gnawing on the burnt oxtail, and said gently: "Is the next dish still ready?"
"On top! You can eat whatever you want!!"
After Xie Xuechen handed over the four charcoal figurines to the officials, he went back to the table and saw that everyone had almost left, so his interest dropped a little.
After the old man of the Wu family drank two pills to stabilize his mind, he came out tremblingly on crutches. Seeing their first sentence, he was filled with grief and indignation: "This old man has never robbed any widows!!"
"No, no," Lin Zhu reassured, "But the matter has come to an end, do you want to tell us the whole story, what's going on?"
Wubei Pavilion was coming out with the maidservants carrying braised rabbit legs, wiping away tears and said: "Benefactor—"
"Steady it!" Su Hongxiu shouted, "I haven't tasted that plate yet!"
Wu Beige handed the rabbit leg to the maidservant, helped her father to sit down, and then revealed all the secrets.
This time they invited Xie Xuechen to prevent this.
"I have long heard that the general is good at literature and martial arts, which is unparalleled in the world!"
"Okay." Xie Xuechen said, "What's hidden in your house?"
They want to search the house and set fire to it, they just want to take something away in the chaos.
Only then did the old man take out a sheepskin from his inner pocket, feeling very wronged.
"This rascal is my distant cousin. During the Lantern Festival six or seven years ago, I got drunk and told him that there was such a treasure hidden in my house."
"Speaking of which, it has been passed down for four generations. At the beginning, it was because my ancestors helped the poor. One day, when they were cleaning the porridge shed, they found such a thing!"
He handed the sheepskin to Xie Xuechen, feeling relieved.
"All the disciples around the ancestors couldn't understand the mystery, but they always felt that something was wrong, so they specially asked the monks who traveled around at that time to explain it."
"When the eminent monk saw the skin, he said that it was definitely not from a mortal sheep, and that it might be something out of this world."
"The written characters and paintings above must be fairy language, how can lay disciples recognize it!"
"Grandmother, I'm afraid my family won't be able to keep this treasure anymore. I don't know how many troubles will be caused if people know about it in the future. I beg you to just accept it!!"
Xie Mingyan leaned aside to read what was written on the sheepskin, and said casually, "Don't yell, this kind of seniority is too messy."
I saw that the sheepskin was unfolded, and there were outlines and dots in it, which looked messy and disorderly, and it was indeed not a mortal handwriting.
Xie Xuechen stretched out his hand, frowned and said, "It's really not the sheepskin of the mortal world."
This leather is tough on the outside and cotton on the inside, and it is not damaged by a knife and will not be burned by fire. Only outside the Three Realms can there be such a thing.
He handed the skin to Fifth Brother: "Do you recognize it?"
"I know a fart." Jie Mingyan clicked his tongue: "Which little grandson of the fairy family made a doodle and was picked up by this person?"
"possible."
"How could it be?" Lin Zhu stretched out his hand and pointed: "It says Bei here, in Sanskrit."
Yixian fell silent together.
Lin Zhu leaned over to look at it, and recognized a few words again.
"It says Cangjiu Mountain here, and it says... I don't know it anymore."
The old man of the Wu family was shocked: "Now the imperial examination still takes Sanskrit?!"
"No, no, I read some idle books." Lin Zhu pondered: "Look at it is a map, have you heard of Cangjiu Mountain?"
Xie Mingyan had a complicated expression: "Do you really know these words?"
"I've never heard of it." Xie Xuechen pondered, "There is Cangshui Mountain in the mortal world, and there is Hatoyama in the north of Wangshidu, but neither of them match."
"At that time, the eminent monk said that by looking for this picture, we might be able to find the unique Shendan in the world." The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "We can't take it anymore, so I will give it to you today."
Wubei Pavilion heard a knock on the door ahead, and stepped on the bloodstained floor to answer the door. After two or three sentences, he turned his head and said, "It was an official who came to ask, there were 52 people involved in the confession, but only 51 people were counted. , does engongenenmu know the situation?"
Su Hongxiu wondered: "Did we let one go?"
"No, it's the mastermind of the murder at the birthday banquet." Xie Xuechen stretched long: "I threw it in the cesspit, and I'm swimming."
"Go ahead...then turn right and you'll be there."
Xie Xuechen groaned, and the cloud shook accordingly.
"Ahhh!!" Lin Zhu grasped the edge with both hands: "I'm afraid of heights Brother Xuechen!! Don't scare me!!"
"Still grabbing the peaches?"
Lin Zhu: ... Brother, how old are you this year? ?
Xie Mingyan witnessed the whole process, and silently turned her head.
I can't stand it anymore, let's take his surname off and call him Gou Xuechen.
The four of them still had some consideration, and they took the cloud directly to the Wujiazhuangzi without making a fuss, found a wood not far away, and then walked over there.
The young master of the Wu family was smiling at the guests at the door, the gifts, horses and horses at the main entrance of the manor were like flowing water, and the guests were all gathered together.
He saw Xuechen in the crowd at a glance, and clapped his hands loudly: "Hero!"
Xie Xuechen took a step back, blocking it with bamboo.
Lin Zhu: "Hahaha long time no see."
"Lin Juren!" The young master of the Wu family bought their cloud satin earlier, and today he specially changed into this bright and colorful dress, smiling brightly: "I forgot to introduce myself. I have worked hard today in Xiawubei Pavilion. Everyone, come here to celebrate your birthday, by the way... Where are the horses and chariots? You are welcome, let the servants take them to our stables and take good care of them!"
Lin Zhu's short-circuited smile froze on his face for a moment.
Xie Xuechen said indifferently: "He came."
Wu Beige expressed admiration: "As expected of someone in the martial arts world, he has such good lightness kung fu!"
Lin Zhu: All right, whatever you say is what it is.
They unwrapped the gift box of the walnut guest, and held out their long, thick fangs with one hand.
During the politeness earlier, there was still a lot of excitement going in and out from the side.
When the two pig teeth came out, the conversation around stopped abruptly and turned into silence.
Wubei Pavilion was already startled: "This—how can I bear this!"

Are there really such thick and long ivory? !
"To be honest," Xie Xuechen said calmly, "This is a pig's tusk, not taken from an elephant."
"There were wild boars making trouble in the back mountain, so I hunted them away."
Mr. Wu was the first to react, shouted a hero and rushed over to toast.
Their family can make friends with such a powerful person, what a support they will have in the future!

There were already guests standing up in front of the door, not daring to stay any longer in such a dangerous place.

Su Hongxiu has already checked with her spiritual sense. The cellar of his house is full of ice, there is a fart girl, and the so-called miserable widow can't be found in the front house or backyard. She already has a conclusion in her heart.
Seeing that the old man's eyeballs were about to pop out, she turned sideways and said, "I'm going?"
Xie Xuechen smiled lightly: "Don't spill blood on my side, the eight-treasure rice hasn't been served yet."
The brawny man really came prepared this time, as if he wanted to take advantage of the pot of dirty water to turn the Wu family upside down, and shouted angrily: "How can you pretend to be a loyal person now!"
"Slow down." A girl in pink stood up calmly in the crowd: "If you have something to do, go to the government, don't come here to make trouble, everyone is having a feast, didn't you see?"
"Who are you?" The rascal sneered, "Why, you are Wu Xinna's concubine, have you come here to fight him?"
Su Hongxiu leaned over and took a tube of chopsticks, and said softly, "What did you say?"
"I said, get out." The rascal said with a stare, "If you delay the Lord's justice any longer, be careful—"
Before he finished speaking, a chopstick stabbed towards him with strong wind, directly nailing his whole hand to the wall!
Passers-by at the banquet: "Oh——"
"You! You!!" The strong man cried out in pain, cursing: "What are you doing, you tied her up and searched the house!!"
The servants inside and outside looked at each other, grabbed a long stick and rushed over to subdue her.
Su Hongxiu raised her eyes and smiled, and threw out the full barrel of chopsticks with her backhand.
This time, without waiting for the servant to react, 37 thin bamboo chopsticks shot out from the heart, pinning people one, two, three, four, five to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers, the speed is dizzying!
It was as if she had just raised her hand, and the group of servants fell to the ground one by one like dominoes, spouting blood like a fountain!
Passers-by at the banquet: "Wow——"
Lin Zhu was startled, and wondered if this is the female devil, and turned around trying to make eye contact with Xie Xuechen.
"Hey? Where's Xuechen?"
The burly man on this side swallowed his chopsticks enduring the pain, seeing his subordinates being killed or disabled by this monster, he pinned his hopes on the other side, and tried his best to delay the time.
"What kind of witchcraft are you using! If you have the ability, kill me alone!"
The guests at the table looked at Zhi Leng: "Hey——"
"Hey what!" The strong man scolded: "I fight, you are laughing at me, aren't you?"
Su Hongxiu originally wanted to take advantage of the rare chicken soup to go back to the table and continue eating before it cooled down, but now she lost interest and frowned and said, "You are making such a fuss, why on earth?"
The face of the old man of the Wu family was pale, he was afraid that the scoundrel would say it in front of everyone.
The strong man seemed to have sensed it, but he swallowed it after gritting his teeth, cursing: "Don't dare to hit me anymore? Are you afraid?"
Is it okay over there? Hurry up!At this time there is no fire or what!
Su Hongxiu said yes, and walked towards him empty-handed.
Seeing her walking so fast, the strong man was inexplicably startled, and raised his long knife high up to threaten him: "Be careful, I cut off half of your arm—"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman in pink had already flashed in front of her, slashing down fiercely like a knife.
The guests are drinking the soup: "Hiss!"
It's true that the more pink she wears, the harder she beats people. That woman obviously didn't even hold a stick, and she almost beat people into pigs' heads!
Wubei Pavilion was already applauding wildly: "The girl is so skilled!!"
On the other side, in the backyard of the Wu family, a few servants were burning straw with a torch.
It's really strange, there is no wind or rain today, why can't it burn? !
There was already a fight ahead, and if they didn't hurry up, they might be arrested!
Just as he was puffing out his cheeks and blowing air, someone behind him suddenly spoke.
"What about setting fire?"
"Yeah, I'm in a hurry, don't make any trouble," the servant scolded, "What are you watching, hurry up and get out!"
After scolding, he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, there was a man in black robe standing behind him, who looked like the legendary general who killed bandits by himself! !
Xie Xuechen smiled.
"Did your parents teach you not to make trouble on other people's birthdays, huh?"
"Ah, this, this..." The servants looked at each other, and were about to run away.
The flames that were still a little bit earlier suddenly jumped up to the height, and swallowed all four of them, without even screaming for half a lifetime!
Xie Xuechen watched the man burn into charcoal, and didn't leave for a while.
What's wrong with this group of people? They only pick people's birthdays to do it.
He stood there thinking about his life, a familiar tremor came from the ground near and far, and a dog's head suddenly popped out.
"Ow!"
"Didn't I ask you to look after the house?" Mozun frowned and looked at Fa Cai with his tongue sticking out, "What are you doing here?"
The dog's head licked the still smoldering flames very honestly, looking at it and wanting to eat it.
"You can't eat this." Xie Xuechen knelt down and patted him on the head: "It's too bad luck. If you want to eat it, you can go to someone else's field and eat something casually. When you are full, go back to watch the house, you know."
"Wang Wang!"
In the main courtyard, the strong man could no longer hold a knife, and he was paralyzed on the ground.
Someone from the yamen soon came to collect the body and shoulders, and there were enthusiastic people to help testify, saying that this person rushed in out of nowhere and made a fuss, and no one knew what he was crazy about.
Wubei Pavilion waited on the old man to calm his breath, and comforted all the guests to go home with generous gifts.
"The reception is not good today, please forgive me!"
The guests also accept it as soon as they see it: "We still get money when we come to the banquet, isn't it good..."
"What problems in your family can be resolved peacefully, we still believe in you!"
"That's right, why have I never heard of your family occupying fertile land... I almost believed the nonsense of that person just now!"
"It must be, we will settle it with the government!"
When everyone was almost gone, the officials in the yamen also waved their hands.
"There are too many people here. You guys must be shocked. Take a rest first. We will come to you tomorrow after registration."
"Alright, be careful all the way!"
Wubei Pavilion sent them out of the door one after another, and when they turned around, they saw Su Hongxiu serving soup.
"Could someone bring the heat?" Su Hongxiu frowned and said, "Why did it get cold so quickly?"
"Cuihua! Bicao! Hurry up and give the heroine hot soup!!"
Xie Mingyan was still gnawing on the burnt oxtail, and said gently: "Is the next dish still ready?"
"On top! You can eat whatever you want!!"
After Xie Xuechen handed over the four charcoal figurines to the officials, he went back to the table and saw that everyone had almost left, so his interest dropped a little.
After the old man of the Wu family drank two pills to stabilize his mind, he came out tremblingly on crutches. Seeing their first sentence, he was filled with grief and indignation: "This old man has never robbed any widows!!"
"No, no," Lin Zhu reassured, "But the matter has come to an end, do you want to tell us the whole story, what's going on?"
Wubei Pavilion was coming out with the maidservants carrying braised rabbit legs, wiping away tears and said: "Benefactor—"
"Steady it!" Su Hongxiu shouted, "I haven't tasted that plate yet!"
Wu Beige handed the rabbit leg to the maidservant, helped her father to sit down, and then revealed all the secrets.
This time they invited Xie Xuechen to prevent this.
"I have long heard that the general is good at literature and martial arts, which is unparalleled in the world!"
"Okay." Xie Xuechen said, "What's hidden in your house?"
They want to search the house and set fire to it, they just want to take something away in the chaos.
Only then did the old man take out a sheepskin from his inner pocket, feeling very wronged.
"This rascal is my distant cousin. During the Lantern Festival six or seven years ago, I got drunk and told him that there was such a treasure hidden in my house."
"Speaking of which, it has been passed down for four generations. At the beginning, it was because my ancestors helped the poor. One day, when they were cleaning the porridge shed, they found such a thing!"
He handed the sheepskin to Xie Xuechen, feeling relieved.
"All the disciples around the ancestors couldn't understand the mystery, but they always felt that something was wrong, so they specially asked the monks who traveled around at that time to explain it."
"When the eminent monk saw the skin, he said that it was definitely not from a mortal sheep, and that it might be something out of this world."
"The written characters and paintings above must be fairy language, how can lay disciples recognize it!"
"Grandmother, I'm afraid my family won't be able to keep this treasure anymore. I don't know how many troubles will be caused if people know about it in the future. I beg you to just accept it!!"
Xie Mingyan leaned aside to read what was written on the sheepskin, and said casually, "Don't yell, this kind of seniority is too messy."
I saw that the sheepskin was unfolded, and there were outlines and dots in it, which looked messy and disorderly, and it was indeed not a mortal handwriting.
Xie Xuechen stretched out his hand, frowned and said, "It's really not the sheepskin of the mortal world."
This leather is tough on the outside and cotton on the inside, and it is not damaged by a knife and will not be burned by fire. Only outside the Three Realms can there be such a thing.
He handed the skin to Fifth Brother: "Do you recognize it?"
"I know a fart." Jie Mingyan clicked his tongue: "Which little grandson of the fairy family made a doodle and was picked up by this person?"
"possible."
"How could it be?" Lin Zhu stretched out his hand and pointed: "It says Bei here, in Sanskrit."
Yixian fell silent together.
Lin Zhu leaned over to look at it, and recognized a few words again.
"It says Cangjiu Mountain here, and it says... I don't know it anymore."
The old man of the Wu family was shocked: "Now the imperial examination still takes Sanskrit?!"
"No, no, I read some idle books." Lin Zhu pondered: "Look at it is a map, have you heard of Cangjiu Mountain?"
Xie Mingyan had a complicated expression: "Do you really know these words?"
"I've never heard of it." Xie Xuechen pondered, "There is Cangshui Mountain in the mortal world, and there is Hatoyama in the north of Wangshidu, but neither of them match."
"At that time, the eminent monk said that by looking for this picture, we might be able to find the unique Shendan in the world." The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "We can't take it anymore, so I will give it to you today."
Wubei Pavilion heard a knock on the door ahead, and stepped on the bloodstained floor to answer the door. After two or three sentences, he turned his head and said, "It was an official who came to ask, there were 52 people involved in the confession, but only 51 people were counted. , does engongenenmu know the situation?"
Su Hongxiu wondered: "Did we let one go?"
"No, it's the mastermind of the murder at the birthday banquet." Xie Xuechen stretched long: "I threw it in the cesspit, and I'm swimming."
