The protagonists are crazy for me

"So Mr. Chu, you don't have to worry any more. With the Immortal Sect, we will surely keep Yu Ze safe and sound." After finishing speaking, the young man patted Chu Jiangli's slender shoulder and left.

Chu Jiangli ground his back molars, although he couldn't calm down, he kept telling himself to keep absolute calm.

He silently recited the mantra to open the universe bag, and took out the entrustment contract of the monks who participated in the operation last night.Every time he saw a name, the corresponding face of the young monk appeared in his brain with excellent memory.Soon, he selected two innocent-looking little monks, and injected a little spiritual power into a certain string of spells on the entrustment contract.

It didn't take long for Chu Jiangli, who was drinking tea in the tea house, to wait for the two innocent and upright little monks.

"Young Master Chu, what's the problem?" The Xianmen entrustment contract has a good "after-sales service", and the three days after the completion of the contract are all "after-sales service" periods.

General Chu took a sip of herbal tea methodically and said, "I want the two of you to testify for me and go to Qianze Hall together."

The two little monks Sang Wan and Du Yun nodded.

When the three of them arrived at Qian Ze Tang, Qing Yu happened to be there too.During these days, Qing Yu has grown up like crazy, and now she is only half a head short of her master.Although his physique is still slender, his whole body has taken on a new look, just like a piece of rough jade has been polished off the outer layer of stone, and the beautiful jade has begun to take shape.

The two masters and apprentices understood each other, climbed up the stairs, and soon arrived under the Shiqi gate of Qianze Hall.

The two young monks guarding the gate saw that Chu Jiangli had come again, and they just wanted to dismiss him quickly: "The hall master is still not here today, Mr. Chu can choose another day to come back if there is something urgent."

Chu Jiangli was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two gatekeepers, so he just said: "It's related to the flood of hosts on the East Street last night. You should first ask through a psychic, and then decide whether the hall master is there or not."

The two little monks looked at each other.

After a while, one of the monks welcomed the four of them into the mountain gate and said, "Hall Master welcomes you."

When the four of them entered the lobby, Zhuo Qijiang was wandering in place with a serious expression on his face.No one will feel at ease if the secret is discovered by someone who is not from the sect.

"The hall master knows what he has done wrong, so I won't beat around the bush," Chu Jiangli said bluntly, "I have already persuaded you to stop the Qin family's blessing banquet, but you have some reason Delayed inaction, this is the first; last night, most of the people who went to the Qin family were infected as hosts, you deal with it privately, lying and concealing the report, this is the second; and the third..." He glanced at the people hiding in the dark. Brother Qianzetang, who has drawn his sword out of its sheath one after another, said, "The catastrophe has already happened, but you still want to secretly deal with the person who revealed the truth. As a Yuze immortal sect, you know that you made mistakes, how can you tell Yu the truth?" Ze people explain?"

The three little ones following behind him also drew their swords out of their sheaths after hearing this, and formed a tense situation with the disciple of Qian Zetang who was hiding in the dark.

And Zhuo Qijiang's complexion was as tense as a knife, obviously hurt by Chu Jiangli's words.He thought that last night's action was enough to be cautious, and he also appeased their family members to keep silent, but he didn't want Chu Jiangli to stare at those people too.

But soon, he put away the nervousness on his face, and calmed down: "As long as I deal with those people secretly, what you said is just empty words. You have only been in Yuze for a long time, but Qianzetang has been established here for hundreds of years. Do the people believe in you or in Qianzetang? And as long as you are gone, no one will know about it, so what if the sword-wielding fairy comes? "

This time, the cultivator in the dark no longer kept secrets, and stepped out directly, pointing his sword at Chu Jiangli.But they also noticed Qing Yu beside Chu Jiangli.Anyone who cultivates can tell a thing or two from the other party's aptitude. Obviously, they know that their talent and cultivation level are not as good as Qing Yu's, so they are scared back two steps.

"I didn't plan for myself, and I won't come to your Qianze Hall easily." Chu Jiangli pointed to Sang Wan and Du Yun beside him, and said, "These two are the witnesses who saw you secretly deal with the host last night. , and not the only two. If I hadn't returned, the remaining witnesses would have made your crimes public for me."

Zhuo Qijiang's expression changed suddenly.

"Qianzetang has been established in Yuze for hundreds of years, but which of these two little monks is not a famous teacher? Some people still believe what they say. Unless you can find all the little monks who work for me and silence them, otherwise Paper can never contain fire."

"You!" Zhuo Qijiang was so angry that his beard would explode.

"Okay, I've finished talking about my chips, I think we can negotiate terms."

Zhuo Qijiang turned his eyes, and said in surprise: "What conditions? Why are we still negotiating conditions."

Chu Jiangli said: "I have what you want, and you have what I want. Isn't this the same as entrusting?"

Zhuo Qijiang passed his hand, lingered on the spot for a while, and then asked: "What conditions?"

"I don't need to make public what you concealed and lied about."

Chu Jiangli's words also confused the three little ones beside him. "Master, why?" Qing Yu asked.

Zhuo Qijiang asked: "What do you want?"

Chu Jiangli ignored Qing Yu's doubts for the time being, and only answered Zhuo Qijiang: "One: From now on, the matter of the host must be announced truthfully; two: Don't obstruct me from thoroughly investigating the matter of the host. Body; Three: Cooperate with me in investigating the host, and tell me the truth about what happened at the blessing banquet, the more detailed the better."

Zhuo Qijiang refused: "Two or three things are allowed. The first condition is related to Qian Zetang's reputation and status in Qishan Fairy Territory. No."

"There's nothing to talk about." Chu Jiangli shrugged and took a step back, "Then everyone, just do it, and other people will announce the truth if they see that I haven't returned. By the way, Qing Yu, how many people can I kill in a while?" How many, remember to give Master and me more support. Sang Wan Du Yun, I’m really sorry to deceive you two, but for the safety of the people, it is also a good choice to die bravely. But remember to run out as much as possible for a while, and put the When your signal flares are released, be sure to let Shimen know that you are in Qianze Hall..."

"..." Zhuo Qijiang was at a loss for words for a moment.How did you come across such a thorn?After weighing it up and down, he said, "That's enough, I promise."

After the negotiation was successful, Chu Jiangli was relieved.

"Tell me if anything strange happened on the day of the blessing feast."

Zhuo Qijiang winked.

On the day of the blessing banquet, the seven or eight monks who were guarding the roof of the Qin Mansion stood up one by one, and replied: "Nothing strange happened, and I didn't see anyone who looked like the host. After the people came, they began to eat and drink. The appearance of eating is really ugly. a bit."

"Didn't you see anyone intentionally hurting someone?" Chu Jiangli asked.

"No."

"Apart from eating in the front yard of the Qin Mansion, have you ever been to other places?" He asked again.

"It's just for free food, why would they go elsewhere. To be honest, the Qin Mansion's blessing feast has really worked hard. Those dishes are something that many ordinary people dare not even think about. After eating Bigu Pill, I still feel that greedy……"

Zhuo Qijiang coughed twice: "Stop talking about irrelevant things."

Chu Jiangli was dumbfounded again.He originally thought that it was Qian Zetang's lack of guardianship that caused the host to spread the magic vine seed silently, but now that he looked at it, he became more and more clueless. "How many people did you deal with privately last night?"

Zhuo Qijiang licked his lips, struggled for a while, and finally confessed truthfully: "There are... 350 and nine people in total." Not everyone was infected.

"……"damn thing!Chu Jiangli just wanted to say vulgar words.But in the current situation, he can only hold back the scolding, and wait until the autumn to settle the score, "You should have a list of the people present. Give me the list, mark the people who were disposed of, and write down the addresses of the people who didn't have an accident."

Qian Zetang had indeed done homework in this area, and quickly sorted out the list.

General Chu went through it once, and after confirming that it was correct, he left Qianze Hall with Qing Yu and the two young monks.

The four of them were going down the stairs, but after two steps, Chu Jiangli remembered something again, and suddenly said to Sang Wan and Du Yun: "What happened today, please keep it secret."

The two had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and their emotions were tense. Even the tiger's mouth holding the sword was faintly sour. Now they suddenly heard Chu Jiangli say so, and couldn't help questioning: "What Qian Zetang has done has violated the taboo of the immortal sect. I will definitely tell the teacher."

Qing Yu was also very depressed: "Master, they have done such a thing, why are they negotiating terms? If it's just for the list and the details of the blessing banquet, it's too cheap for them. I really want the people to see Know their ugly faces."

The apprentice is still jealous, and it seems that he has not been spoiled.

General Chu was very pleased in his heart, and then explained: "I am relieved to hear that the three of you are aggrieved by this matter. I did not cooperate with them just for the list and details. These things can actually be found out. It’s just that it’s faster to ask for information through their hands. There’s another reason why I didn’t tear myself apart with them in front of the common people.”

"What?" San Xiaozhi asked.

"Switching generals before the battle is really a taboo for military strategists. If the current outbreak of the host is regarded as the enemy's formation, then Qian Zetang is the general, and the common people are the soldiers."

The three seem to understand but not understand.Qing Yu said angrily: "I don't want to do anything like this."

Chu Jiangli further explained: "If I confront Qian Zetang in public, firstly, Qian Zetang will hold grudges and deal with me directly. The situation will inevitably lead to civil unrest. The host is not yet clear, and what the people need most is stability. So even if Qian Zetang is strong on the outside, it is a mountain worth relying on in the hearts of the people, even if this mountain is just a phantom. The explanation is clear ?"

Qing Yu nodded desperately.

Sang Wan and Du Yun all cast admiring glances.

"Is that so, then I will definitely not say anything about today's matter, and I will only say it when the time is ripe and with Mr. Chu's permission." Sang Wan said.

"Me too!" Du Yun also said.

Chu Jiangli smiled warmly.

It seems that I did not choose the wrong person. Sang Wan and Du Yun are really well-behaved and have a whole body of righteousness. When they explain their interests, they will indeed help to temporarily hide them. "Thanks to the two little brothers today, my entrustment is over here, please be sure to keep your word."

Sang Wan and Du Yun said goodbye to him and left immediately.

Qing Yu asked: "Master, what should we do next?"

"Of course to collect valuable data."

Master and apprentice took two steps, Qing Yu sighed helplessly: "If I can be like Shen Xianchang, or if Shen Xianchang is here for a few days, then what happened recently will not be so troublesome."

Yo yo yo, is this dependent?

There was a faint smile on the corner of Chu Jiangli's mouth: "Why, do you think Shen Xian has grown up?"

"That's not true. It's okay to have Duan Xianjun. Duan Xianjun has disappeared in the past few days, leaving only his sword servant and me staring at me. Zhixin's mouth is really bad, and the fight is also real. ruthless."

"When Immortal Shen arrives, I'll tell him that you miss him." Chu Jiangli flew up to the treetops in satisfaction.

"I didn't even think about it!" Qing Yu chased after him angrily.

In the lobby of Qianzetang.

The second hall advocated Qianzhi saw that his brother let him go easily, so he asked: "Is that all?"

Zhuo Qijiang overturned the table with all his strength, and was so angry that he was furious: "I told you to keep an eye on Chu Jiangli, but now not only is he not watching, but he is being watched instead, what kind of waste is he raising!"

Zhang Qianzhi was also helpless: "No one thought that so many people attending the blessing banquet would have an accident. It was true that there were not enough people last night. It happened suddenly. Who would have thought that Chu Jiangli would also send someone to watch it. It is impossible to guard against it. But It is true that the disciples in the sect did not keep an eye on it a few days ago and took it lightly."

Zhuo Qijiang asked: "Junior brother, could it be that he deliberately lied to us that there are witnesses outside?"

Zhang Qianzhi shook his head helplessly: "Who knows if it's true or not, you should be careful. The assassination will definitely fail, and he has a very talented young apprentice to protect him, hey. But there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him for the time being. He can even grow prajna flowers, so he might be able to solve this problem for us. Let's use it for now."

"Use?" Zhuo Qijiang was puzzled, "Does my junior have a clever plan?"

"I came to keep an eye on Chu Jiangli myself. As long as I keep an eye on Chu Jiangli closely enough, the solution he comes up with will be ours." Zhang Qianzhi paused. It’s not as good as me, so you can still hide.”

Zhuo Qijiang nodded.

Before returning home, the master and apprentice went to Master Qin's house for another walk.The Qin family has long been changed, there is no master and wife in the house, and now only the humble concubine and her daughter are doing funeral affairs in secret.The secret purchase is naturally the meaning of Qian Zetang.

Chu Jiangli understood the purpose of his visit, and asked the mother and daughter for a share.

When he got home, he asked the kitchen for meat for 20 people, and then entered the place where the six hosts were imprisoned together with Qing Yu.

The sealing paper was still there, and the six people stood by the wall like zombies. The sealing paper was slightly loosened, and the six people slowly woke up.After smelling the smell of meat, they quickly secreted body fluid, which flowed down their necks and wet the skirts of their clothes.

The host at this stage still retains the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, so it is most suitable to solve many questions at this time.

From the news from Qian Ze Tang, Chu Jiangli learned that these infected people had not done anything else in the Qin family other than eating, so there could only be a problem with eating.What he asked the Qin family for was the photo book for the cook to cook during the blessing banquet.

Although he hadn't read in the original book of "Disaster Water", the magic vine species would spread through food, but the facts in front of him had to make him make this guess.

The behavior of the hosts was restricted, but they became agitated under the temptation of food. They kept twisting, grinding their teeth, and growling, wanting to get the plate of fat meat behind the two of them.

Chu Jiangli sat down in front of the six people, took a plate of the finest meat, and tasted his own cook's cooking first. "Well, it tastes great." After eating two pieces deliberately, he pretended to notice the six people with resentful eyes, "You want to eat too?"

The hosts swallowed and nodded desperately.

"It's not impossible." General Chu rolled his eyes at Qingyu, "But we need your cooperation."

Qing Yu opened the album in front of the six people and pointed to one of the dishes.

Chu Jiangli said: "As long as you answer truthfully whether you ate the food we mentioned, the meat behind me is yours. But if you are perfunctory or unwilling to answer, then your illness is very likely to affect your family. .Think about your wives, children, and elderly parents."

The hosts whimpered and expressed their willingness to cooperate.

After half a day of recording work, the master and apprentice finally got the dishes that the six had eaten at the banquet.

Because of the abundance of dishes in the blessing banquet, and the people who participated in the banquet held the purpose of eating free food, there were a total of 33 dishes in the blessing banquet, and four of them ate all of them in a daze; of course, there were also two people who did not like the smell of the ingredients. Or taste, more or less missed a few dishes.

Qingyu went over it carefully, and said, "Just by looking at these, I still can't figure out which dish is wrong."

"Of course not." Chu Jiangli flexed his muscles, "We still need the data of another group of people, bring the spar, and let's go to the homes of those uninfected people."

It took the master and apprentice two days, exhausting their tongues, and a lot of spar, to get the information about the dishes they ate from the mouths of the people who "got shit luck".This comparison revealed a difference.

These 56 lucky people obviously had better tastes than the six hosts, and they didn't taste all the dishes.

As long as you find a dish that none of the 56 people have eaten, and this dish has been eaten by all six hosts, then this dish is most likely the culprit that caused the disaster.

During the comparison process, Chu Jiangli cursed, first scolding Master Qin for not listening to persuasion, he deserves to die, and then scolding that being rich is self-willed, and being so generous when letting people eat for free.The two fought with the lights until late at night, and then at dawn, and finally came up with a dish:

Spread your wings and take off.

"Well, it's a good name, and those who eat it are indeed ascended to heaven." Chu Jiangli smiled coldly.Just looking at the name of the dish, he couldn't tell what the ingredients of the dish were, but after comparing the ingredients in the dish album, the result was obvious.

The raw material of the dish is four-wing clam duck, and it is sliced ​​raw meat.

This is duck sashimi.General Chu disliked the truth in his heart.

Four-wing clam duck, he had tried it when he first came to Yuze.This kind of meat can only be eaten raw, and it needs to be chilled before it can be eaten. The chilled meat is extremely delicious without any seasoning.

Ducks grow up eating jelly grass, which determines their rarity and delicacy, so only rich people can afford it.Looking at it this way, it can explain why only the children of wealthy families had accidents in the first place.

But no matter how much the rich man praised this kind of meat, he never tried it again after eating it once, because he couldn't stand the fishy smell of four-wing clam duck, and to be honest, the taste was just the same. too much.

Just like nouveau riche always like to hang some celebrity calligraphy and paintings arty, the same is true for eating four-wing clams and ducks.Because ducks are rare and difficult to breed, it has become a delicacy in the hearts of rich people; how can ordinary people afford this dish? I heard that this dish is expensive. No matter whether it is delicious or not, after eating it, you can brag about it with others How does the duck meat taste.

But some people have a more sensitive sense of smell, and they don't want to try it just by smelling the smell of raw meat, so even if it is expensive, they don't want to touch it.So this time this group of people was spared.

Seeing Master thinking seriously, Qingyu asked: "So it's the fault of the four-winged clams and ducks? Maybe we've eaten it before, so why are you okay?"

"It's just a tentative conclusion. Let's go to the home of the rich man who had the accident before and ask the deceased if he had eaten duck before the accident, or if he liked this duck on weekdays."

The two master and apprentice put away the materials at hand, left the study and went to the next destination.

However, as soon as they went out, a small air current blew up on the roof of the study.Instead, the person lying on the roof and hiding his figure gradually revealed his appearance.This person is the second hall of Qianzetang who advocates moving.

When he heard the master and apprentice say that the culprit was the four-wing clam duck, he was also shocked, and almost exposed his whereabouts.After confirming that the two had gone far away, he wanted to confirm again, so he concealed his figure and merged with the air, and entered the study "openly and squarely".

Although he couldn't understand a lot of information, after a rough comparison of the recipes on the table and the four words highlighted by Chu Jiangli, he has already asserted that the four-wing clam duck is the culprit.

However, this result was not what he wanted.

Zhang Qianzhi left the study in a hurry and rushed to another place.

In a certain place with clear mountains and clear waters in Yuze, a man about 40 years old was driving four-winged clams and ducks out of the slaughterhouse, muttering to himself while driving.

Seeing his nephew, Zhang Qianzhi immediately called out, "Afan!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Bufan immediately turned his head to look. "Hey, why is Second Uncle here?" He didn't even chase the duck, and ran all the way to Daogu Xianfeng's Second Uncle.

The uncle and nephew stood together, but Zhang Qianzhi looked younger.Because Zhang Qianzhi entered the immortal sect early, it is a compulsory practice for the immortal family to clean his body and set his bones, so his appearance is naturally much younger than that of his nephew who has not practiced.Zhang Qianzhi didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Afan, let me ask you something, did the Hedong Qin family ask you to buy a batch of ducks a few days ago?"

Zhang Bufan nodded: "Yes, I have made a lot of money. I am also lucky to have you, otherwise, where would I get the fairy grass to feed these ducks. Another day I will buy some treasures of heaven and earth to honor your old man, thanks to you. "

Hearing this, Zhang Qianzhi immediately rubbed his hands and stamped his feet: "Hey! Something big happened!"

Zhang Bufan was stunned and asked anxiously, "What's the big deal?"

"Do you know how many people have recently become hosts because they ate your duck? But all hosts are the targets of our hunting. So do you know how many people died this time!" Zhang Qianzhi clapped his hands heavily , emphatically, "At first, there were only sporadic children of wealthy families who had accidents, and at most twenty people died every day, but a few days ago, the Qin family held a blessing feast, and let those who eat free food also eat raw duck slices, More than 300 people became hosts in one day! Tell me, what can I do!"

Zhang Qianzhi regrets that he should have asked his brother to follow Chu Jiangli's advice and cancel the blessing feast.When he thought that this advice came from a junior who was not yet in his double tenth year, he felt inexplicably sour.

Zhang Bufan's complexion changed suddenly, and he stammered: "But you also ate it two months ago, and I ate it with you, why was it okay that time? Second uncle, you must have made a mistake."

"How could it be wrong? I finally came to the result!" Zhang Qianzhi said, "You also said that a duck was eaten two months ago, who knows that your duck is sick now"

Zhang Bufan was very anxious, and argued: "The common food for ducks is better than ordinary people, and the fairy grass is also taken from you. And look at those ducks..." He pointed to Xue Xue, who was running wildly with four wings spread out. The white ducks said, "They are very energetic, how can they look like sick ducks? Besides, didn't you say that the people who ate the ducks have become hosts of magic vines? Do my ducks look like hosts?"

Zhang Qianzhi looked at what his nephew pointed out for a while, but he was also full of doubts. "In short, this batch of ducks cannot be kept." He said, "If it is found out that it is you, I will suffer too."

"I spent a lot of spar to raise this batch of ducks. If you let me abandon the ducks now, don't you let me accompany you until you don't even have any underwear left?" Zhang Bufan was annoyed, pacing anxiously with his hands behind his back.After seeing Second Uncle's extremely dignified expression, he confirmed again, "Second Uncle, is this your conclusion?"

"The final conclusion is not yet known, but eight//nine is close to ten." Zhang Qianzhi jumped on his sword and was about to return to the mountain. "I let you know in advance. Listen to the second uncle and put the ducks as soon as possible before the official conclusion is announced." It's dealt with. If you find out about it, don't blame Second Uncle for killing my relatives righteously."

"If it's not because of me? Who will accompany me to lose?" Zhang Bufan shouted to the sky, but his second uncle had already gone away with his sword.

This is a big deal.Although the second uncle said that the conclusion was not yet certain, he checked the duck in a hurry, for fear that there was a sick duck in it.

But the sick duck is determined not to let ordinary people become hosts.Zhang Bufan still had a fluke mentality, but when he thought of how nervous his second uncle was, he couldn't help thinking the worst.

If there is something wrong with his duck, I am afraid that the second uncle will not be able to protect him. "No, I have to leave before it happens.
