[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

Chapter 9, The Book Boy

Huai Xu and Zhang Litang walked to the foot of the mountain, and Quan Shangren had prepared a carriage and waited for a long time.

The man from Quangami comforted the restless horse, but in fact it was not a horse.

Two carriages and four horses are actually four wolves.

Put the skulls of horses on the heads of wolves, and perform illusions, and it is easy to change their shapes.

The only trouble is that this is a wolf ghost, and it cannot walk under the scorching sun, so the people on Quanshang carved many spells on the horse's skull to keep the yang energy out.

Even so, the wolf ghost was still a little uneasy.

Until Huai Xu came, the restless wolf ghost immediately behaved like a big dog.

Naturally, Zhang Litang couldn't see anything, but felt that the side of the two carriages seemed particularly shady.

Huai Xu sat on the carriage and said, "Li Tang, wait a moment, I'll give you a gift."

Zhang Litang froze, looked at Huai Xu and nodded to the two gray-clothed servants, and said: "Shan Bao, Mu Gui, go and fetch the guys hanging from the tree."

The two gray-clothed servants turned around and ran towards the forest, walking and jumping at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Litang asked: "Brother Queyong, these two servants are very capable, they are..."

Huai Xu smiled lightly and said, "Litang will be ready in a moment."

Shan Bao and Mu Gui, who got out of sight, became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into two huge monsters. Shan Bao was a mandrill, and Mu Gui was a wooden mandrill. The skull is covered with human skin, pretending to be human.

As soon as they left Zhang Litang's sight, the two spirits couldn't help but change back to their original forms.

In a short while, the two spirits took advantage of the earth to hide, walked like the wind, picked off the bandit that was hung on the tree by a group of girls last night, and brought them back down the mountain.

When they were approaching, Shan Bao and Mu Gui put on the human skin again, turned into gray-clothed servants, and threw a few bandits in front of Zhang Litang.

Zhang Litang's face changed, revealing resentment and sadness.

He turned to Huai Xu and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Que Yong!"

Huai Xu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to thank you, since you call me brother, I have to think about you."

Zhang Litang was moved in his heart, and he didn't hold back, and said directly, "Brother Queyong, Litang also has a book boy, he was killed by these thieves in order to save me, Litang wanted to help him save his bones , and bring them back to the family for burial.”

Huai Xu gave him a high opinion of him, although nowadays there are masters who treat their servants leniently, but it is rare to say that they can bury their servants in the clan.

In a way, this is unruly.But in Huai Xu's eyes, rules are used to restrain mediocre people.

"Okay, since he is a loyal servant, he should be buried with honor."

Huai Xu pulled Zhang Litang into the carriage, Huang Dalang and Huang Sanlang drove the carriage for him, Quan Shangren leaned in front of the carriage, listening to Zhang Litang pointing the way.

Shan Bao, Mu Gui, Huang Wulang, and Huang Liulang shared a car, and five criminals were tied to the car.

Zhang Litang couldn't see it. After Huaixu got on the carriage, an invisible tree grew on the carriage. It spread its canopy, cast the dark green shade, and gathered all the sunlight.

The wolf ghost was running around under the shade of the trees, its four hooves were cheerful, and it gradually floated into the air, and the vibration was hardly felt on the carriage.

Zhang Litang looked gloomy when he thought of his book boy.

Qingqiu was picked up by him when he was a child. It was the twelfth lunar month at that time. He heard that there was a fox house on the outskirts of the city, and he was persuaded to go see it together.

There is almost no difference between haunted foxes and haunted ghosts. Things like foxes and weasels are much more sophisticated, entrenched in empty houses and do not interact with people. If anyone breaks into their territory, they are easy to be teased by them.

Zhang Litang didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth at that time, and when he was young, he broke into the fox house with a few brats.

The result was naturally being teased miserably.

There was a child surnamed Li who was so angry that he wanted to set fire to the house, but he firmly stopped him.

The foxes are not vegetarian anymore. They wanted to set fire to the house, but in an instant their trousers were burnt. Several children rolled on the ground on the spot. At this time, a thin and small child came out of nowhere and carried a bucket to put out the fire.

This skinny kid is Qingqiu.

Qingqiu was raised by foxes.Zhang Litang didn't know it at the time, he just felt sorry for the child, and when he heard that he had no family and had been living in the fox house, he took him home.

Qingqiu is intelligent, although he is in poor health, he is clever.

Zhang's mother was kind, so she left Qingqiu as a companion for Zhang Litang.

One day when he saw Qingqiu playing with a fox, Zhang Litang felt that he was unusual.

Only then did he know that Qingqiu was raised by foxes.

Qingqiu took Zhang Litang back to the fox house, but the fox house was empty.

Zhang Litang found a note in the fox house, which was left by the fox to Qingqiu. It turned out that they left it for so many years to take care of Qingqiu.

When Qingqiu had a home, they left.

Zhang Litang still remembered that Qingqiu was crying so much at that time, lying on top of him and choking up non-stop.

At that time, he vowed to treat Qingqiu well.

Qingqiu grew up with him, he said he was a book boy, but in fact he was more like a bamboo horse, but he failed to protect Qingqiu, and was saved by Qingqiu instead.

Huai Xu listened to Zhang Litang talking about him and Qingqiu, but saw something different in his eyes.

"Interesting." Huai Xu thought to himself, maybe this bookworm hasn't realized that he has developed a different feeling for the companion named Qingqiu.

"But it's not a bad thing not to know, at least you don't have to be too sad after Qingqiu's death." Huai Xu thought, but didn't reveal it.

When they arrived at the place where Qingqiu was killed, Zhang Litang jumped off the carriage and searched the mountain.

Huai Xu stretched out his hand to gently stroke the tree, sensed the situation in the forest, and found Qingqiu lying on a piece of gravel.

Qingqiu was born with delicate features, but his face was covered with blood, and there was a huge wound running across his chest.

However, he did not die.

"strangeness……"

Huai Xu murmured, and stretched out his hand to caress Qingqiu's forehead, a burst of hair-generating energy flowed from Huai Xu's palm to Qingqiu's body, slowly stimulating his vitality.

But when the mana reached Qingqiu's heart, Huaixu encountered an obstacle, and a glowing inner alchemy rolled in Qingqiu's heart. It was this inner alchemy that kept his heart from cooling down and hung his life.

"Fox Dan?" Huai Xu's eyes were full of interest, and his eyeballs twirled on Qingqiu's body, and finally calmed down slowly, not forcibly digging out the Fox Dan.

"Litang, come and have a look, is this your Qingqiu?"

Huai Xu withdrew his hands and stood sideways and shouted.

Hearing Huai Xu's voice, Zhang Litang scrambled over and ran over, seeing the coagulated black blood on Qingqiu's body, tears fell from his eyes.

"Qingqiu...Qingqiu..."

Huai Xu chuckled, and said: "Li Tang, don't cry anymore, you Qingqiu are not dead yet."

"What... what?" Zhang Litang was both surprised and happy with tears on his face, looking rather funny.

"He's not dead yet."

Huai Xu called Master Quan, pointed to Qingqiu and said, "Look at him."

Quan Shangren was a fox fairy, and he knew many ways to save people. On the spot, he folded a piece of wood into a needle, sealed Qingqiu's big chest hole, and fed him a life-threatening ginseng pill.

"Is he a fox?" Huai Xu asked via voice transmission.

Quan Shangren ordered Shanbao and Mugui to make a simple stretcher and carefully carry Qingqiu back to the carriage.Hearing the inquiry, he carefully replied: "No, he is half a fox."

Huai Xu nodded, and said to himself, "No wonder he was adopted by a fox. It turned out to be the child of a fox and a human."

Zhang Litang was attracted by Huai Xu's hue just a moment ago, but at this moment, his soul seemed to be reawakened, and his eyes were glued to Qingqiu.

"Young Master Zhang, don't worry, I've already sealed a few big holes on his chest, so he won't bleed any more. When we get back to the city, we just need to sew up the wounds and cultivate ourselves. Nothing will happen."

Quan Shangren comforted him.

What's more, he still has a fox pill in his heart, even if he is left alone, he will heal within ten days and half a month.

Zhang Litang breathed a sigh of relief, forced a laugh, and said: "Brother, you are laughing at me, Qingqiu and I are brothers, if something happened to him, Litang has no idea."

Huai Xu smiled strangely.

Brotherhood?

He skipped this topic and said, "Qingqiu will be fine, but you may not be safe."

Zhang Litang's expression froze, "What does Brother Queyong mean?"

Huai Xu pointed to the carriage next door, and said, "Li Tang came to Jinhua for the first time, so he probably didn't know about it. Except for a group of bandits on Maji Mountain, there are no bandits in this area of ​​a hundred li."

Zhang Litang was not stupid, his complexion changed immediately, he stood up abruptly, with an ugly expression on his face.

It was also fortunate that the carriage was wide, otherwise he would have hit his head.

"I said, I said why my uncle suddenly became seriously ill, but my aunt couldn't get in touch no matter what!"

Zhang Litang gritted his teeth, and was pulled by Huai Xu to sit down.

"Litang, you haven't arrived in Jinhua yet, so you don't have to worry about getting angry. Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

Zhang Litang frowned, obeying Huai Xu's reassurance, he glanced at Qingqiu, then at Huai Xu, closed his eyes to gather himself.

The Chen family in Jinhua is also a big family in the county. The master of the Chen family, that is, Zhang Litang's uncle, is the teacher of Jinhua Academy, and he is quite famous in the local area.

The reason why Zhang Litang traveled to Jinhua was also to prepare for Qiuwei, and wanted to get some advice from his uncle.But I don't want people to be involved in such privacy and filth before they arrive in Jinhua.

What exactly happened that could implicate him, and even make people not hesitate to pay for murder?

While thinking, Zhang Litang discussed with Huai Xu.

Huai Xu listened without saying a word.

This is Zhang Litang's doom, but he can't be allowed to intervene too much, it's fine for him to help out a little, if he intervenes too much, it may not be a good thing.
