"Master Lu Cun's mind is so easy to use, he will surely grow a turtle shell soon."

The old turtle praised with relief, then sighed very lightly, and continued to speak slowly: "If there were Young Master Lu Cun in Xuanwu Hall at that time, probably such a thing would not have happened—at that time, everyone didn't know what to do. What should I do, by the time I realize it, His Highness Baihu has already gone very far..."

Mu Xianyu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.Rubbing his forehead helplessly, he paused for a moment before saying, "Then the ancestor didn't do anything, just let you sell rattles here?"

"It seems to be—it seems not to be. I just sell rattles here, and I don't know anything else..."

The old turtle thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.He just answered vaguely, then looked at him curiously and said, "I just found it strange—Master Lu Cun, how can you call the Lord the ancestor? You should call the father the father."

"I should—what should I be called?"

Mu Xianyu felt his heart sink, and asked in astonishment, subconsciously touched his back with his backhand, and was relieved when he found that he didn't touch the turtle shell.But he still shook his head lightly, instinctively not wanting to admit the fact: "But that's what I called my ancestors when I saw them—the ancestors never corrected me..."

"It may be that the ancestors have not had time to find out that you are Master Lu Cun. This is not surprising. Sometimes it takes the ancestors a few days to recognize His Highness Baihu. The young master looks different from before, so naturally he cannot recognize you. .”

The old turtle was not surprised, he nodded in response, and said patiently and slowly: "You are the star enlightened by the Lord himself. In the past, the four holy beasts each occupied a star position, and each enlightened the starlight as a child— —In addition to you, there are Wenqu, Wuqu and Pojun, the four holy sons will take turns in the next rotation, and now it is your turn."

"So those so-called descendants of the blood of the four holy beasts are not actually the descendants of the four star kings, but the descendants of these four holy sons?"

Hearing that he was not Xuan Wusheng's son after all, Mu Xianyu finally let out a long sigh of relief.Nodding his head in response, he shook his head and chuckled incredulously, "According to this, I have become my own descendant..."

"It's just a coincidence. The Lord said he wanted to reincarnate you into a good family, so he specially sent you into the royal family. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the heir of the Xuanwu bloodline. Under the conflict between the two, your bloodline was reversed. The natal bloodline has been sealed by accident. If His Highness the White Tiger hadn't injected you with the original source in time, gold and water are in harmony with each other, I'm afraid you may not be able to break the seal until now."

The old turtle nodded, looked at him with a slight smile, and said, "That's all I can tell you. As for the rest, the Lord will tell you in person after he recognizes you as Young Master Lu Cun—— Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't seem to understand more now."

Mu Xianyu couldn't help laughing, but shook his head helplessly.Old Gui didn't feel anxious at all, just nodded with a smile, and patiently said: "It's okay. Don't worry, you are still young, and you still have time to think slowly..."

His voice faded away slowly, and a strong repulsive force appeared suddenly as before, pushing the two of them out of that space.Suddenly the hustle and bustle of the street returned to the surrounding area, but the stall in front of him had disappeared without a trace.Mu Xianyu looked around blankly, but couldn't find the old man anymore: "Mo Zhi, can you still find that old man?"

The little flower demon carefully looked around, but just shook her head blankly.Mu Xianyu patted him on the shoulder, couldn't help helping his forehead and smiled helplessly: "I really want to see Mr. Baihu Xing now, I must have a lot of things to talk to him... Forget it, let's go back first. Second Brother and the others must not know what happened just now, remember?"

"remember!"

Mo Zhi nodded seriously, and was led by the little brother to the street, and couldn't help looking back, hesitatingly whispered: "Old Grandpa Gui said that the little brother is actually not an ordinary person...so the little brother It should be able to live for a long time, right?"

Unexpectedly, the little guy paid attention to this matter. Mu Xianyu couldn't help but smile, stopped his pace and turned around, squatted down and patiently rubbed the little guy's head: "Actually, I still have a lot of things to worry about now." I haven't figured it out yet—but my little brother promises you that as long as I can find a way to live for a long time, even if I really want to grow a tortoise shell, I will admit it. I will definitely be with us Mozhi forever, okay? "

The little flower demon's eyes couldn't help but she nodded vigorously, and happily threw herself into her little brother's arms and rubbed against her, then blushed and whispered: "It's better not to grow the turtle shell, it won't look good... "

Mu Xianyu couldn't help but laugh, lightly tapped the little guy's forehead, got up and led him back to the street.Seeing that the two of them finally came back, Ming hurriedly walked up to meet them, lowered his voice and said, "Young master, where did you go with Xiao Mozhi just now? I was just staring at that stall, In the end, you two disappeared in a flash..."

"Buddha said, don't tell me—you've seen a lot of strange things in the past two days, so it won't be worse than this time, just treat it as seeing another strange thing."

Mu Xianyu patted him on the shoulder with a light smile, apparently not intending to tell him the specific situation.After all, there were too many people out there, so I couldn’t ask any more questions, but I could only sigh in resignation, and swallowed back the questions I was full of: “Okay, you can keep playing tricks, I just don’t ask— —Xiao Mozhi is hungry, do you want to eat something?"

"Since Xiaoqing came to our house, I think your temper has become better and better."

Mu Xianyu couldn't help laughing, and knocked his fan lightly: "Xiaoqing is still sleeping in the basin, if you talk too much, be careful and ask Xiaoqing to bite you when you go back."

"What's more - I thought that when Xiaoqing came, I wasn't the only one being bullied at home. But I didn't know until now that Xiaoqing came to our house, but there was another bully... "

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Ji Ming felt full of grievances again, sighed with extreme resentment, and reluctantly followed him back.Chi Feng didn't know what they were talking about, and when he saw a few people coming out, he greeted them with a smile: "My lord, we have been shopping all morning. I know there is a good restaurant here, their West Lake vinegar Fish is definitely a must in Hangzhou, and there are many exquisite teas with Jiangnan flavor. If you want to find a place to rest and have a meal, I will take you to try something new, and see if the dishes in Yangzhou suit you Several tastes..."

"Alright, let's go to the one you mentioned."

Seeing the expectant light in the little guy's eyes, Mu Xianyu smiled and pulled him closer to him, and nodded with a smile.Chi Feng has already seen that although Mr. Mu is the master among the three, he has always come from the thoughts of that young master, so he hurriedly joined in and conjured a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy from behind. The cake came and passed it to him: "Young master, you can try this and see if it suits your taste..."

Mo Zhi looked back hesitantly, saw the little brother nodded with a smile, then took the piece of sugar cake wrapped in butter paper, and thanked him politely, as if he didn't see it at all. He didn't show the fierce posture that he said to tie him up before.Even Chi Feng, who was frightened by him from the beginning to the end, gradually relaxed a lot, and led the three of them to the restaurant all the way, while boldly chuckling: "If anyone's children are as sensible as the young master, they must I couldn't be happier—my son is about the same age as the young master, and he is so spoiled by his grandparents. He wants this or that all day long, and he doesn't grow at all..."

"Mo Zhi has always been very sensible."

Naturally, Mu Xianyu could hear that he was trying to tell himself that there were old and young in his family, but he didn't intend to expose it, so he just responded with a smile.Just as he was about to ask the little guy if he had anything else he wanted, his eyes suddenly fell on a few guards across the street, he raised his eyebrows with interest, and then stopped in his pace.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Chi Feng couldn't help being slightly stunned, and hurriedly followed.Before he could ask what happened, one of the guards strode over and unfolded the portrait in his hand.Unceremoniously checked with Mu Xianyu twice, then raised his chin at him, and shouted in a deep voice: "It's him, arrest this thief who set fire to me!"

"Wait a minute—is there some misunderstanding?"

Chi Feng is a man in the Jianghu, and he has already used money to deal with the officialdom when he usually does business. He has never been chased and provoked by others, so naturally he seldom deals with these secular officialdom servants.I felt flustered for a moment, and was about to ask for clarification, but was pushed away brutally by an officer: "Stop talking nonsense—the Zhang family caught fire in the middle of the night, hundreds of members of the whole family died, and everyone involved in the case must be arrested , it's not your turn to say here that there is a misunderstanding or not!"

"I hid from the yamen guards all the way. I thought it would be quieter here in Yangzhou City, but unexpectedly I was targeted again."

Mu Xianyu didn't feel nervous at all, instead he chuckled lightly, looked at the guard with his hands behind his back, and calmly said in a calm voice: "There are still pictures——who reported to the officer, could it be Is that Brother Zhang Shiyin still alive?"

The leading guard did not expect this person to be so calm and composed, and he hesitated for a while, thinking about it and did not speak immediately.The deputy holding the shackles looked carefully at the gentlemanly scholar in front of him, but felt that nothing would happen, so he nodded boldly and said: "Exactly! If the Zhang family tragedy is not solved for a day, the brothers will die." People who have to be arrested for a day—whether you are the murderer or not, first come to the Yamen with us and then talk about it!"

"My young master, even if you want to go in and go around, you can't make yourself sound like a murderer..."

Ji Ming at the side almost cried when he heard it, and pulled La Mu Xianyu's sleeves in time, for fear that he would say anything more serious.But Mu Xianyu just patted his arm, shook his head and said with a light smile: "Things in the past two days are really too bizarre, if I hadn't met these servants today, I would have almost forgotten the ordinary How are you going to spend your days—since they have chased this way sincerely, I should go in and sit for a while at least to save face. It’s not that once you go in, you can’t come out, why are you in a hurry here?"

Having been so troubled by the past few days, he almost forgot the identity of his highness, and he could not help coughing guiltily, and said stubbornly: "Then why do you change your appearance all the way, forcing me to play this role..."

"Dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide. When it is big, it will make clouds and mist, if it is small, it will hide its shape, if it rises, it will fly between the universe, and if it is hidden, it will hide in the waves."

Mu Xianyu memorized a passage with a light smile, watched with satisfaction as her servant was surrounded by question marks, and signaled the leading servant to wait a little longer.Then he leaned over and supported Mo Zhi's shoulder, and blinked lightly at the little guy twice: "Be obedient, go back with Big Brother Ji first, okay?"

The little flower demon was about to shake her head and refuse, but when she met the mysterious smile in his eyes, she turned her eyes and nodded vigorously.Mu Xianyu smiled and pressed his shoulder, signaling to Mingming to take him back first: "Don't say anything for now, I still have some things to figure out, don't rush to make trouble for me."

Knowing that he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in His Highness's gourd, he could only nod and leave with Chi Feng and Mo Zhi.Seeing that the people had gone far away, Mu Xianyu put the folding fan in his sleeve, looked at the guard with a light smile and said, "I have never worn shackles before, so I have to trouble you to do it yourself - but there is a saying below The front. Some people are easy to catch and hard to let go. Now that you ask me to go in, I will naturally not resist, but if I am not guilty in the future, but you don’t tell me to come out, I will definitely come out..."

Originally, he still had a gentle and harmless aura, and his tone was still leisurely and flat, but his whole body showed a faint majesty inexplicably.Those few servants were usually working in the yamen, and occasionally saw a few important figures, but none of them could compare to the inexplicable majesty and oppression of this person in front of them, but they couldn't help feeling a little guilty for a while.Several people got together and murmured a few words, the leader signaled his subordinates to put away the shackles, and stepped forward to cup his fists at him.

"Young master, we are also following orders. The difficulty of Zhang's family is a serious crime of beheading. We have saved enough face for you by not locking you up in the street - I am impatient, afraid of aggression, and I have no chance to fight Feng. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, and if you want to show your sign, please show it quickly, otherwise, the brothers can only follow the rules, and the words are offensive."

"Finally, I've met someone who has a quick temper... It's a good thing to be quick-tempered. Just focus on this, and I might be able to save you a lifeline—what's your name?"

Finally met Mu Xianyu, who said he was impatient, and was physically and mentally exhausted by the Xuanwu Palace. He felt as if he was being amnesty, and was inexplicably moved for a while.The leading officer frowned and looked at him, before pondering for a moment, he said: "Seeing your calm demeanor and not being surprised, if it is not the real murderer, I am afraid that brothers have offended a big man today. If I tell you my name, I will wait for you." On the day of escape, how can there be a way out?"

"I have already remembered your appearance. If you really want to take revenge on you, the name will be the same whether you tell me or not."

Mu Xianyu smiled softly, and seemed to unknowingly straighten his sleeves, and a white light quickly penetrated into his sleeves.The guard suddenly paused, frowned and looked around, but found nothing.Rubbing his forehead wearily, he sighed heavily and said, "It's been a hell of a time recently... Well, what you said is also reasonable. My name is Jin Hong, and I'm the head catcher of Yangzhou City. Today's business is just a matter of order and I have to do it. If you really wronged Young Master, I hope that Young Master will forgive me in the future and don't blame us brothers."

"You have given me face by not arresting me in public, and I will return your favor."

Mu Xianyu smiled slightly and nodded slightly, then paused for a moment before saying: "The Zhang family caught fire last night, is there anyone who survived? I heard that there is a big man living in Zhang's house. I wonder if that big man was injured?"

Jin Hong looked at him more and more suspiciously, and after a while he shook his head and smiled wryly: "It seems that even if you are not the person who set the fire, you must have a lot to do with this matter--I just hope that you are not someone from that big man, otherwise If we don’t, we’re afraid that we really have no way out.”

"Your mind is indeed quite meticulous, and it's a bit of a waste of talent to be a headhunter."

Unexpectedly, a small head catcher could deduce this point with just a few words, Mu Xianyu couldn't help being slightly surprised, but still shook his head calmly: "My identity is not important for now, since you have For the sake of guessing this, why not tell the truth like me, maybe there will be more ways to survive in the future."

"Alright, after all, your Excellency is either the real murderer or the real dragon. No matter which one it is, these words are not unheard of."

Jin Hong shook his head and smiled, but he didn't hold back anymore, and confessed frankly: "There are more than five hundred people in the Zhang family, and only one head survived. It is said that he happened to go out of the city that night and was not at home. Survival. According to Mr. Zhang, the "big man" you mentioned probably did not survive—and that person brought a few strangers to stay at Zhang's house that night. Mr. Zhang said that the fire was too extreme. Strange, maybe it was the work of those strange friends."

"He said this, but you actually believe it? According to this, before I set fire to it, I have to find a way to live in it so that everyone can see it before doing it?"

Mu Xianyu was dumbfounded and couldn't help asking in surprise.Jin Hong also sighed helplessly and said: "If you don't believe me, what can I do? With that person, if he disappears like this, the whole Yangzhou city will probably be buried with him. If you are a person, you will want to live, Mr. Zhifu I have fainted three times already, so I can't care about being unreasonable, I can catch one or the other. In the future, when Tianwei is furious, I will have an explanation, so I will die a few days later."

He spoke straightforwardly and plainly, and Mu Xianyu naturally understood.I couldn't help being slightly surprised, and after pondering for a moment, I shook my head and said with a light smile: "There is an imperial trial every year before the autumn judgment in Beijing, and every year, a few people who have been tortured and forced to plead guilty are found out. I still don't understand those officials. Since we will be found out sooner or later, why do we need to take such a risky move, but it turns out that only when we really get to the bottom can we get the minds of these local officials..."

As soon as these words were said, Jin Hong's eyes became more and more surprised and shocked. He looked at him carefully, but he still didn't ask that sentence out of his mouth.

Mu Xianyu looked at his hesitant expression, and there was a little smile in his eyes.Seeing that he had reached the gate of the yamen, he took off the jade pendant of Helu Tongchun at his waist, and stuffed it into his hand without any explanation: "Go to the southeast of the city and find a courtyard of the boss surnamed Chi. Give the piece of jade pendant to the person in charge inside. Tell him that if he doesn’t come to pick me up before tonight, I will stay here and never go back, and let him figure it out.”

"Who is your Excellency, please give me a clear..."

The jade pendant is warm and moist, and the carving is exquisite, and anyone who takes a look at it will know that it is extraordinary.Jin Hong felt some cold sweat dripping from his back, and asked in a low voice, but Mu Xianyu just smiled and shook his head, straightened his sleeves and walked into the yamen, casually tossing a gold medal of Youlong to the person who came up to block the way Officer: "Tell your magistrate to come out, I have something to ask him."

"Don't offend, take good care of the young master and wait for me to come back."

Jin Hong grabbed the guard, gave some instructions in a low voice, randomly picked a horse from the yard, got on it, and drove towards the southeast of the city.The officer was confessed by him once, and seeing that the gold medal in his hand was heavy and did not seem to be a fake, he quickly leaned over and made a bow, and led him to sit in the hall: "Master, please wait here for a while, I will reward you right away." The magistrate knows..."

Mu Xianyu didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, looking thoughtfully at the government office in Yangzhou City.I don't know if it's because of the so-called awakening of the blood, but now he can see many things that ordinary people can't see. This mansion is surrounded by a strange layer of black air, and it makes him feel unreasonable when he enters the door. A little restless and vigilant, always feeling as if something strange is going to happen here.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the hall, Mu Xianyu gently stroked the little Baizhi ball in his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Mo Zhi, I have nothing to do here, go and follow Zhang Shiyin closely, lest he play any tricks."

The little flower demon moved when she heard the sound, lightly rubbed against his palm, turned into a ray of white light and went straight to the back hall.Mu Xianyu lowered his head ponderingly, and subconsciously picked up the teacup and rubbed it lightly, but suddenly an inexplicable premonition arose in his heart.He lifted the lid of the teapot on the table and looked inside, and sure enough, he found several familiar dried flowers among the floating tea leaves.

"Master, this is the tea that our magistrate has just used. You wait a moment, and the villain will replace it with a new pot for you."

A servant walked over quickly and said respectfully with a smile.Just as he was about to take the teapot and teacup back for a change, a fan stopped his wrist, he raised his head blankly, and met Mu Xianyu's almost serious eyes: "You said the magistrate has already used this tea? When did it happen, just now?"
