How to break into Liaozhai

Wang Rui wrote a letter to Wei Xingxian, explaining in the letter that he was entrusted by Nie Xiaoqian to bring back her ashes jar from Lanruo Temple. I hope he can come to his home to discuss this matter.

When Wei Xingxian received this letter, he was so shocked that he couldn't hold the teacup anymore, and rushed to Wang's house immediately.

Seeing Wei Xingxian who was in a hurry, Wang Rui smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll ask you to meet."

He moved out the urn and asked Nie Xiaoqian to come out to meet Wei Xingxian.

Wei Xingxian was quite courageous, but "Damn in the Day" still turned pale with fright, and looked sideways at Nie Xiaoqian for a long time before he dared to speak to her.

Nie Xiaoqian saw her own experience and told Wei Xingxian the truth. When talking about how to kill the two brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, Wang Rui could see that she had no regrets at all.

After hearing this, Wei Xingxian said repeatedly: "You are right! I heard my father talk about the Yumanlou case, so that's what happened."

After telling everything, Wei Xingxian proposed to bring Nie Xiaoqian back to the Yamen so that his father could meet her, so as to clear Ning Caichen of his grievances.

Nie Xiaoqian said: "I also want to go back with you, but I can't go through the main entrance. I'm afraid of the stone lions and plaques at the main entrance of the yamen, and I can't see Uncle Wei's official uniform and official seal."

"It's easy to handle, I will tell my father in advance." Wei Xingxian patted his chest to promise, after Nie Xiaoqian returned to the urn, he patted Wang Rui's shoulder and said: "What you said in the academy yesterday, you Don't take it personally. Just as you said, after dealing with Ning Caichen's matter, let's find a day to sacrifice to the City God and ask him to send a ghost messenger to take Nie Xiaoqian to reincarnation."

He Yunyi stared at Wei Xingxian's hand on Wang Rui's shoulder, could he not pat it?

Wang Rui shook his head generously: "We are good friends, why would I be angry with you?"

After seeing off Wei Xingxian, Wang Rui looked at the sunset in the sky and stretched his waist in satisfaction: "This day is really fulfilling."

After having a delicious meal in the evening, in order to "continue to protect the peace", Wang Rui decided to take care of his eyesight and avoid reading at night. He washed up early and sat on the side of the bed, preparing to go to sleep.

While lowering the curtain for him, the eldest servant girl urged: "Master, the clean obscene clothes are placed by the bedside for you."

Wang Rui groaned, pulled the quilt over and fell asleep.

He Yunyi was very bored by himself, so he went out to the guest room where he lived before. Suddenly, he felt strange, and saw a servant girl sneaking towards this side.

He saw a female ghost possessing her body, and he must have planned to use this maid to do ulterior motives.

Why, he dared to barge in here, so he really didn't take him seriously.

He Yun took out a paper talisman and threw it at the maidservant's forehead, and the female ghost on her body was instantly replaced by a handful of dust, which dissipated into the night sky, while the maidservant rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground.

When he passed by her, he realized that he couldn't help hiding his figure and aura, no wonder that female ghost dared to barge in, she deserved it.

He Yunyi meditated all night in the vacant guest room. At dawn the next day, he went to find Wang Rui, entered the room, and saw him lazily climbing up. doze off.

He wondered if he should use a little spell to wake him up.

"I really don't want to go to school, when is the holiday?" Wang Rui said while untying the belt of his jacket, He Yunyi remembered that he was going to change clothes, his ears felt hot, and he backed out in a mess.

He didn't mean to, really.

Not long after, the servant girl walked in with a basin, probably to wash Wang Rui. After waiting and waiting, He Yun saw Wang Rui come out of his room. He followed him and stared at his shoulder. On the left shoulder or on the right shoulder?

Wang Rui went to the academy after breakfast, but He Yunyi didn't follow him. In the afternoon, Wang Rui came back, not only himself, but also Huang Jiulang.

"Tonight, let's try our best to give dreams to people in the city who have the authority to speak and have access to civilians, such as masters in charge of punishment, clerks, head arresters, pharmacy shopkeepers, well-known doctors, etc."

These people are the "opinion leaders" among the crowd. Once they believe in the dream and put it into action, others will flock to it and follow suit, and there is no need to worry about whether the public opinion will not form a spiral upward trend.

Huang Jiulang said: "Did you hear what Nie Xiaoqian said about the tree demon eating people at the gate of Lanruo Temple? That tree demon is very dangerous. If we can't get rid of it, I'm afraid she will find out that it's us." , that would be troublesome."

"Believe the masses. Everyone is afraid of plague after the flood. As long as you tell them that the old locust tree can prevent the plague, you will definitely dig her up. You will never be lenient."

Huang Jiulang speculated that Wang Rui might want to avenge the female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian, or he wanted to seek justice for those who were eaten by the tree demon. Either way, he was kind.

Getting rid of the tree demon can be regarded as a merit, Huang Jiulang said: "Don't worry, I will help you."

Wang Rui invited Huang Jiulang to dinner as a landlord.

"You like sweets, here's this for you." Huang Jiulang naturally picked up food for Wang Rui. He used to do this when he was eating out, but this time, the food in the chopsticks hadn't reached Wang Rui's bowl. Suddenly, the chopsticks slipped and all the dishes fell on the table.

He froze for a moment, this shouldn't be his mistake.

Wang Rui didn't think much, just said: "I'll clamp it myself."

After the two of them finished their meal, they decided on a list of dream dreams. When the lights of each house were turned off to sleep, Huang Jiulang's ghost came out of his body, went to these houses, and dragged the same dream to them.

In their dream, they saw a tall, majestic and masked heroic general. The general told them that a plague would break out recently, and the whole place would be completely empty. One side is the guardian of the gods. He couldn't bear to lose his life, so he specially pointed out a way to survive. The locust tree outside Lanruo Temple is a treasure. Keeping a branch, root or bark of it will be very effective in preventing the plague.

When they got up the next morning, some of the people who had been entrusted with the dream were dumbfounded at first and did not dare to speak out, but with the idea of ​​believing it or not, they quietly went to Lanruo Temple with a shovel, and once there Look, I found that there are already a dozen people digging the roots of the big tree there.

It turns out that Tuomeng is true, and it's not bad. Hurry up and call your relatives to dig it, and you must not fall behind.

The doctor who also has the heart of a benevolent parent, dreamed of this news, and told everyone he met without reservation, whether it was true or not, I hope everyone can be saved.

So on the street, from time to time, two or three people whispered to each other and discussed, and at the end, someone simply shouted: "Go dig the tree roots, it will be gone if you go late."

After school, Wang Rui followed the crowd out of the city to watch the fun. He sincerely felt that he really had to trust the people. See how motivated everyone was. Wave after wave of people rushed over.

Before he reached the gate of Lanruo Temple, he saw people pushing their own wheelbarrow back and forth, which was full of leaves and roots.

Grandma took advantage of the lack of monks in Lanruo Temple to stir up trouble, but she didn't want these ordinary people to dig out the property of the original temple just because there were no monks to manage it.

Wang Rui heard the sound of sawing something, and looked up. It turned out that someone had climbed up the tree and was sawing branches.

But under the tree, a big hole was dug with a lot of work, and most of its intertwined roots were exposed. There were people who were chopping and sawing.

And the surrounding villages and towns also heard the news from the city, and came in a long line pushing a small cart with tools.

Wang Rui smiled gratifiedly, "Very good, very good, everyone held on, and got into the carriage with their hands behind their backs and went home.

He Yun looked in the direction of the tree demon and raised his eyebrows. This is also a good way to get rid of the demon. I have to say that Wang Rui's head is quite clever sometimes, but he still underestimates the enemy. How can grandma Will sit still.

It used to be that "people are three points afraid of demons and ghosts, and ghosts are seven points afraid of people", but some big monsters are really powerful and frightening, but now hundreds of thousands of people gather together to do one thing, let alone Monsters, even gods and Buddhas have to weigh it.

Even if it is a thousand-year-old tree demon, it will not be able to resist the continuous crowd.

Even at night, these people fought openly, aggressively, and kept making noises, which made grandma dare not act rashly.

Grandma only felt that she had suffered a torture that only human beings could have. These ant-like humans kept digging her roots and holding her bark. She was being dismembered by these people.

Yesterday she watched Xiaoqian being poached by the scholar named Wang Rui and took no action. Firstly, she was unable to act during the day, and secondly, she knew that Wang Rui's back was a powerful Taoist.

"Grandma, I found out. It turned out that many people in the city last night received a dream from a fairy, saying that your roots can prevent the plague, and that's why so many people came here to trouble you." Xiaoqing went out and turned around. After a circle, he brought back the reason for what he heard: "Xiao Die, who was sent to track down that scholar last night, didn't come back, I'm afraid it's..."

Grandma didn't care about Xiaodie's life or death, she just gritted her teeth and said: "What kind of fairy dreams, someone is clearly targeting me!" She was furious and said furiously: "No matter who it is, his calculations are all wrong. Is he the only one who can dream? ? Little trick!"

After all, grandma temporarily abandoned the tree body, and the Yin spirit came out of her body, flew into the city, and tried her best to entrust the dreams to the residents.

In the dream, she turned into a beautiful fairy, and told everyone with a smile: "You have been deceived, that tree is a sacred tree, and it protects you. Under its protection, evil spirits and evil gods cannot touch you. The method tricks you into cutting it down, and when it falls, the hard times will really come. Cutting down the sacred tree will not bring you blessings, but will incur the punishment of God.”

Grandma's magic power is far greater than Huang Jiulang's. When he woke up the next day, almost half of the people in the city had the same dream.

The public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is right. As commoners, they don't know who is lying and who to believe.

However, when he woke up the next day, after everyone had discussed in the street, no one dared to cut trees outside the city anymore, they were all watching.

As soon as He Yun felt the demonic aura emanating from his grandma over the city, he also knew what she had done, so he couldn't help but look in the direction of the academy, Wang Rui, you are smart, but this tree demon is not stupid, I see what you can do next ?

Wang Rui sat among his classmates and listened to all kinds of discussions. His expression changed from confident and satisfied yesterday to gloomy today. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, grandma was unwilling to sit and wait for death. There was a second dream.

Now it has become a Rashomon, and no one dares to cut down trees.

He was in trouble, and he couldn't make another three-time dream. When Huang Jiulang came, the two racked their brains and thought about it, but they couldn't think of a way to solve it. Then the husband came in, and Huang Jiulang had to go back to his place. Turn around from time to time to exchange glances with Wang Rui.

Sir, there is a bad news and a good news. The bad news is that Wei Xingxian is ill. The good news is that the academy will be closed indefinitely from tomorrow until the epidemic is stable.

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other and whispering.As long as you are not stupid, you can infer one message from these two news sir: Wei Xingxian has the plague.

As soon as school was over, Huo Ke took the lead in saying that he would visit Wei Xingxian and asked who would like to go.

Because Wei Xingxian was the county magistrate, everyone had to choose painfully between life and flattery. In the end, some of them chose to leave with their lives, and the rest followed Huo Ke to visit his sick classmate Wei.

Wang Rui wasn't sure if Wei Xingxian had the plague. If he did, he might not be able to eat it. He had been in frequent contact with Wei Xingxian in the past few days, and they had talked a lot. Really took it.

When he arrived at Wei Xingxian's residence, he found out that he was not the only one who got sick, even his father Wei Zhixian was also sick.

So more students who cherished life quit the visiting team at the door and chose to go home. In the end, only Huo Ke, Wang Rui, Huang Jiulang, Ma Xiao and three other students came to Wei Xingxian's bedside.

Not seeing Wei Xingxian for a day, his head was swollen and his eyes swelled into slits: "Didn't I tell the servants to tell you to go back?"

Wang Rui kept a certain distance and asked: "Brother Wei, I want to ask, who have you been in contact with these few days?" Wei Xingxian's outbreak should belong to an earlier group, after all, no one in the city has ever heard of plague. , the only one he can talk about is the Wei family.

Wei Xingxian covered his mouth and said awkwardly: "I know who infected me with the disease, that is Ning Caichen in the prison, my father and several yamen servants who interrogated him are all sick... now there is me... Wang Rui, I'm sorry for you... oh..."

Ning Caichen?Did the god of plague sow the seeds of plague on Ning Caichen?Wang Rui hurriedly said, "What about the others? Are they quarantined?"

"Fortunately, he's still in prison... After confirming that he was not suspected yesterday, I wanted to let him go, but he passed out when he walked to the gate of the yamen, with fever and red eyes... We realized that something was wrong..." Wei Xingxian said weakly: "...Fortunately, this big-headed plague is not difficult to cure. The doctor prescribed a prescription, and within a few days... cough, cough..." Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the ground, scaring the surrounding people. Everyone jumped away.

Datouwen doesn't cough up blood. Wang Rui thought of the plague seeds that He Yunyi handed over to the God of Plague. Could it be that the variant of the Montenegro old demon was sowed by the God of Plague?Think of their Yangxin County as an experimental base?

"I, we'll come see you some other day..." Huo Ke said as he pushed the others out the door. While walking outside, they took off their robes and even took off their boots at the entrance of the carriage. Throwing them all into a corner, everyone looked at each other with pale faces: "We won't get the plague too, will we?"

"No, no." Wang Rui pretended to be relaxed and said, "Go back and take a shower, it's fine."

"Yes, go back and take a shower."

They each rushed to their own homes, while Huang Jiulang comforted Wang Rui and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and I will find a solution for you." Thousand-year-old ginseng can cure all diseases, even small plagues.

Wang Rui said: "If possible, you can help Wei Xingxian think of a way."

This Huang Jiulang didn't want to, after all he didn't owe Wei Xingxian anything, Wang Rui didn't say anything when he saw this.

The trouble now is not just that Wei Xingxian got the plague, but the plague broke out from the yamen, and the infected area is bound to be very large. The yamen servants and small officials come in and out of the yamen every day, and they are the ones who have the most communication. Every time they come into contact with many people , now the city is on the verge of the eve of a mass outbreak of the plague.

Perhaps the god of plague put the plague seed on Ning Caichen when he saw that he was going to enter the yamen, in order to break out in the yamen.

Bad, too bad.

Wang Rui returned home dejectedly. Because He Yunyi didn't follow him when he went to the academy, he was surprised to see him come back in only his middle coat. in a hurry.

"Master, where is your outer robe?" A maid greeted her and asked the question He Yunyi wanted to ask.

"Throw it outside." Wang Rui casually took the new robe handed over by the maid, and sat at the table with his chin in a daze.

He Yunyi didn't get the answer he wanted, so you just threw it outside?Why are you throwing it away?Is someone going to cheat on you?

He was gearing up, thinking that it was someone who was short-sighted looking for death.

At this time, Wang Rui suddenly woke up and said loudly: "Get water, I want to take a bath! Wash it thoroughly."

He Yunyi couldn't help being even more startled, why are you taking a bath day and night?Did something really dirty happen?For a moment, I only felt angry, wishing to crush that unknown bastard.

"Brother, are you inside?" Qing Yuan's voice came from outside the door.

"Don't come in," Wang Rui said, "Wei Xingxian was ill, and I just came back from visiting him. Although I threw away my robe, I still don't think it's safe. I'll wash it thoroughly before I go to you. What's the matter with you?" ?"

"I don't have anything important. I just feel that you don't show up recently. Mom asked me to ask what you've been up to lately."

"Tell her I'm not busy."

Qing Yuan pouted outside the door: "The answer is so perfunctory."

"You can go back to her like this, go, go."

After Wang Rui sent his sister away, the bath water came soon, and He Yun retreated as if he was running away when he saw this.

He Yunyi stood outside the door. After he calmed down, he recalled Wang Rui's words and couldn't help but worry. If Wei Xingxian was simply ill, why would Wang Rui change all his clothes after he went to visit? It can be seen that he knew Wei Xingxian was very good. sick.

The God of Plague has been here, so what could be a severe disease, of course it is the plague.

And Wang Rui had contact with Wei Xingxian again, which turned He Yunyi's worry into worry, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately set off to find the God of Plague.

As a god in the heavens, He Yunyi couldn't figure out his whereabouts, but there were clues. When he gave him the plague seed, he said he was going to investigate the scorpion ghost.

That is to say, after the plague god releases the plague, he will wander around looking for the scorpion ghost and the mastermind behind it.

Mainly follow this clue to investigate, and you will find the God of Plague.

As soon as He Yun knocked out the ground, he asked straight to the point: "Do you know that scorpions and ghosts are usually walking around?"

Land smiled: "Strange, the God of Plague also asked me the same question yesterday."

"Tell me quickly, where he went."

"I told him that the scorpion ghost is the subordinate of the mandrill. The mandrill lives in the Tougu Mountain two hundred miles away. He went there. Hehe, did He Zhenren know that the plague god scattered the plague seeds here and wanted to save the world? ? Ah, He Zhenren? Where is the person?" The land shook his head, and slipped back into the ground with a flick of his sleeves.

Seeing that the Tougu Mountain was not big and there were only a few caves, He Yun searched for it one by one, and finally entered a hidden cave entrance, where he heard painful howls.

"...Hehe, I know it hurts, and if I know it hurts, tell me honestly, why do your scorpion ghosts have plague seeds?" The plague god sat on a stone throne and asked the mandrills below in a leisurely manner.

The mandrills were ugly in appearance, but at this moment, because of the plague poison in their bodies, bleeding from their seven orifices made their faces even more ferocious and terrifying.

"I told you, it was stolen from the old Heishan demon, and the old Heishan demon was killed by a Taoist priest. My cousin and the scorpion ghost didn't come back. I thought they failed. I didn't know until you came to the door. Knowing that the scorpion ghost successfully obtained the plague seed, it was just taken away by that Taoist priest and given to you." A huge mandrill, with its mouth wide open and its fangs bared, moaned in pain: "You, please spare me. That's all I know."

"The Black Mountain old demon died well. As for you, a little mandrill also tried to possess the plague seed... um... unforgivable, unforgivable, let you do something for me before you die."

The God of Plague blew a breath on the mandrill king, and with this breath, a small insect got into its nostril. Soon, the mandrill's skin festered, and green pus dripped onto the ground.

Seeing this, the god of plague kept nodding his head, as if he was recording the symptoms: "This is one of the plague seeds that the old demon from Montenegro got. It looks quite powerful, festering and festering."

As he spoke, he stared at another mandrill, spit out a plague seed and got into its ear, that mandrill shivered, and then vomited up and down regardless.

Seeing its embarrassment, the god of plague let out a series of deep laughter: "Today, I will try these plague seeds on you."

If the mandrill king knew that coveting the plague seeds would attract the plague god, even if he died, he would not dare to move his heart.

As soon as He Yun took a step forward, the noise he made attracted the attention of the God of Plague.

"He Yunyi?"

"Since you are busy, I won't waste your time. I hope you will give me the prescription to treat the plague in Yangxin County. That place is very important to me, and I can't let it go."

The God of Plague stroked his beard: "This matter...is very difficult to handle. Every plague species wants to play its own role. The one released by Yangxin County really attracts my love. It is a cute little one." Guy, it is fulfilling the mission of a plague seed, how can I, as his adoptive father, dismantle it and make it sad?"

He Yun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it, is it interesting to say these unreliable words?

Since the other party had such an attitude, he was not polite: "Then I won't bother, I will go to the God of Medicine for help, and let me tell you what I have seen and heard by the way."

God of Plague and God of Medicine King do not deal with each other. God of Medicine King upholds the idea of ​​saving all living beings, and is also kind to animals. This is why the small animals in the mountains also understand the properties of medicine, and the reason why they will find herbs to save themselves when they are injured is all thanks to God of Medicine. gift.

As for the God of Plague, he specialized in killing all kinds of creatures, and even conducted experiments on mandrills. If the God of Medicine knew about this matter, he would definitely take it to heart and sue the God of Plague when he had the opportunity.

Although everything has pros and cons, mutual generation and mutual restraint, the God of Medicine King obviously felt that the God of Plague should not exist, and had been planning how to get rid of the God of Plague.

The God of Plague heard He Yunyi's implicit intention to go to the God of Medicine to complain, and immediately said: "Slow down, slow down, if you have something to say, don't rush away."

"It's okay if you don't leave, you can return the plague seed of the Black Mountain old demon to me."

"If you give something, how can you ask for it back?"

He Yun stretched out his hand with a firm attitude: "Giving you this thing will actually harm the place I want to protect. It is better not to give it back. If you don't return it, I will go to the God of Medicine and let him judge."

I owed He Yun a favor before, and he caught him using a mandrill to do experiments. The God of Plague couldn't get angry, and it wasn't worth causing trouble for a small place in Yangxin County: "You don't need to go to the God of Medicine! Well, it depends on what you gave me. For the sake of my Heishan old demon plague, I will take back those two little guys from Yangxin County..."

As he said that, he rolled his tongue and took a deep breath, and after a while he heard him say in pain: "The human plague is back, why is the swine fever gone? Oh, it was slaughtered by someone, sorry to see you, there is no way, just be a plague seed." That's the risk."

He Yunyi reminded: "...Fang Zi..."

The God of Plague waved his hand, and He Yun had a pack of medicine in his hand: "Mix it in the rain, and the plague will be eradicated. It's not difficult for you to call the wind and rain." At the end, he continued to talk about the swine fever he lost.

He Yun cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your noble hand." After finishing speaking, he flew away.

When he came to the sky above Yangxin County, he wanted to carry the river water to rain down a little rain for curing the plague, but suddenly he thought of something, it would be too wasteful to just eliminate the plague like this, and he should kill two birds with one stone.

When he came to the backyard of the county government, he saw the dying magistrate of Wei County. He casually assumed the appearance of a scholar, and said perfunctorily and impatiently, "Now order someone to fetch a branch of the big locust tree outside Lanruo Temple." Come, I guarantee that you and your son will recover immediately, that tree can indeed cure the plague, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you will die." After finishing speaking, he disappeared.

Wei Zhixian was stunned, rubbed his eyes and saw no one around, but for him who was so sick that he was half-lived, he believed that everything just now was enlightened by gods, no matter whether others believed it or not, he believed it anyway, so busy He shouted with all his strength: "Go and chop off a branch of a locust tree!"

As soon as He Yun saw that the servants picked up a locust tree branch dropped by someone else on the side of the road and entered the mansion, he waited for a while, then moved the nearby river water, and mixed the prescription given by the God of Plague into it. It rained just enough to wet the ground.

As soon as Wei Zhixian got the branches of the locust tree, he heard it raining outside. It was miraculous, listening to the sound of the rain and smelling the direction of the soil, he felt that the high fever gradually receded, and his whole body regained strength.

Ning Caichen, who was hot and swollen all over in the prison, smelled the smell of rain, and stood up slowly. He stretched out his hand from the small window of the prison cell, greedily catching the rain, and was drenched by the rain, suddenly felt paralyzed. The air is refreshing, the pain seems to be sucked away, and the whole person is alive again.

The next day, as a parent official, with an attitude of being responsible for the people under his rule, he posted a bulletin, which summed up in one sentence: The county magistrate personally verified that the locust tree is effective in curing the plague, and those who don’t want to die should go Cut down that locust tree.

For a while, the balance in the hearts of the common people tilted again, that the locust tree can cure the plague, so they rushed to the locust tree, using all available tools, to dig deep into the roots to cure diseases and save lives.

So the next day, Wang Rui found that not only Wei Zhixian father and son had recovered, but everyone also believed that the big pagoda tree could cure the plague again, and dismembered it again, and this time it was very thorough.

Driven by the county magistrate, all the people in the city poured out to divide the big locust tree enthusiastically.

Looking from a distance, there are black and black human heads in front of the big locust tree.

Wang Rui, who followed to see the excitement, looked at the crowded "Scenic Spot" in front of him, and tilted his head. It's a strange thing. How could everything be resolved overnight?Who is helping them secretly?

There is only one person he can think of, but is he the kind of person who does good deeds quietly and anonymously?

Hmm... Could it be that he wanted to help him, but because of the embarrassment of the incident last time, he didn't show up.

Wang Rui touched his lips subconsciously.

When He Yun saw it, he was startled. You were thinking about that kiss, weren't you? Haven't you forgotten it?

No, it should be unintentional.However, there are only a few days left, and I want to see what kind of flower you are.
