Dragon Pattern Roll Set
Chapter 130 [Borrowing the Corpse to Return the Soul]
Gongsun effortlessly proved that both Fang Jun and Fang Wu were poisoned to death. At the same time, it was also found out that Fang Wen and Fang Cai were also poisoned with chronic poison and could die at any time.
Now, Fang Ba was completely speechless.
Pang Ji looked at Fang Ba's dejected appearance, then at the two corpses lying on the ground, and then at his son Pang Yu, who was alive and kicking behind him, feeling a little sympathetic to Fang Ba with his white hair for no reason.All the thousands of thoughts he had brewed along the way to teach the Fang family a good lesson disappeared, and he stepped forward to salute Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, I, Yu'er..."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Bao Qing, this case is not over yet, we need to catch the real culprit, and give justice to the two young masters."
Bao Zheng sternly agreed.
After that, Zhao Zhen didn't seem to be bothered to lose his temper any more. He was about to become a father. One can imagine the pain of losing a son. Although there were many doubts, Zhao Zhen always trusted Bao Zheng. Since he came back, the case was handed over to the Kaifeng government. The trial is enough, and it can be regarded as calming down a storm.
Gongsun detoxified Fang Wen and Fangcai, and everyone went back to their homes.
Fang Ba's face softened a little at this time, and he asked Bao Zheng, "Bao Xiang, can I take my son's body?"
Bao Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun actually wanted to find out how Fang Jun and Fang Wu were poisoned, so he said, "My lord, if you are willing to perform an autopsy, it will help you catch the murderer who poisoned your son..."
"Can my son be resurrected after catching the murderer?" Fang Ba asked rhetorically.
Gongsun frowned slightly.
"Forget it." Fang Ba looked very depressed, and bowed his hands to Gongsun, "Thank you sir for detoxifying my son, I just want to take my two children home."
Everyone looked at each other.
Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao—when he said that Pang Yu was the murderer, the old man insisted on avenging his son, why did he lose his arrogance this time?
Gongsun still wanted to argue a few words, but Master Bao gave him a wink.
Gongsun immediately stopped talking, Bao Zheng nodded, and the other party was domineering, "The old prince can take the bodies of the two sons back, but the case should be thoroughly investigated by the government."
Gongsun prescribed a prescription for Fang Junhe and told him to take it on time.
After the Fang family's father and son left, Zhao Pu called two shadow guards, "Keep an eye on them and see if the corpse was buried directly, or if there is another use for it."
The shadow guards nodded and left.
Gongsun asked Zhao Pu a little puzzled, "The body was either buried or burned, what else can we do?"
Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment.
"There are many uses."
At this time, Lin Yehuo, who was yawning, said, "Could this old man believe in some gods and ghosts, and plan to bring his two sons back to life?"
"Can you be revived after death?" Gongsun and Bao Yan said in unison, with somewhat similar expressions.
Lin Yehuo gave a dry laugh, "There are some crooked people who have done this, and Suqing knows better...it seems to have something to do with the resurrection of the dead."
Bao Zheng was a little curious, so he invited Lin Yehuo and the others to Kaifeng Mansion as guests, and asked Su Qing about this "borrowing the corpse to return the soul".
……
Once everyone returned to Kaifeng, the whole imperial city became lively.
Gongsun was the busiest one, and was first dragged by Taishi Pang to give Concubine Pang a physical examination.
Gongsun prescribed some anti-fetal medicines for Concubine Pang, and instructed everyone to take good care of her. Concubine Pang is in good health, so don't be too nervous.
Later, she was found by the queen mother, who had a migraine for the past few days, Gongsun gave her acupuncture, and was invited by all kinds of civil and military officials to the mansion for consultation when she just left the house.
Zhao Pu went to the barracks to arrange soldiers and horses, and when he came back, he couldn't even find Gongsun Mao, only the youngest son in the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.
Ouyang Shaozheng introduced Long Qiaoguang to Zhan Zhao and others.
Long Qiaoguang is really talkative.
Not all the people from Huofengtang came, Liu Hanxing and others all went back, Lin Yehuo took Suqing and followed Xiao Liang around the world.
In fact, Suqing also wants to return to Huofengtang, he still has a sect to take care of, but Liu Hanxing and the others said that leaving Lin Yehuo alone does not know what trouble will happen, so everyone guessed rock-scissors Bu and Suqing lost, so they had to stay and "take care" of their leader.
After Zhan Zhao finished handling the matters to be dealt with in the case, he walked around the Kaifeng mansion twice, and found everyone, except Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao asked Tianzun who was drinking tea with Yinhou in the yard, "Where is Yutang?"
Tianzun smiled, "Probably went to buy food for you."
Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head, turned around and left somewhat embarrassed.
Yin Hou shook his head helplessly, "Your Yutang is really interesting. I don't like to eat, but I search for delicious food from all over the world to feed the cat."
Tianzun smiled lightly, "My Yutang is naturally good..." He was about to compliment a few more words, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Before you..."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yin Hou asked, "What do you want to say? Why are you hesitating when you are over 100 years old?"
"What does hesitating have to do with how old I am?" Tianzun squinted at him.
"Say it." Yin Hou glared at him.
Tianzun held the cup, "Did you see the stork ears just now?"
Yin Hou was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "I know what you want to say."
"Sure enough..." Tianzun frowned.
"Surely what?"
The two looked back, no one was there!Bow your head again... Little Sizi was standing beside them, holding two small bowls of red bean paste in his hand.
After Tianzun and Yinhou took the bowl, they saw Bao Yan, Bao Fu and Xiao Liang were distributing red bean paste to everyone, which was a dessert made by the kitchen lady.
The fourth son climbed up the stool, sat on Yin Hou's lap, and looked at the two curiously.
At this time, Zhao Pu, who couldn't find Gongsun, also came over with a bowl of red bean paste, "Where are Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang?"
"In vain, I went to Tianxianju to buy some fresh wine." The fourth son crawled over Yin Hou's lap and crawled to Zhao Pu's side.
Zhao Pu picked him up and put him on the table, fed him red bean paste, and said with emotion, "Bai Yutang is so talented. He only buys one portion of Tianxianju's first-grade fresh brew a day. He ordered it half a year in advance, right?"
"Three months ahead of schedule." The fourth son swayed his legs, "Maomao asked just now, and then went out, it should be looking for Bai Bai."
While feeding the fourth son, Zhao Pu asked Tianzun and Yinhou, "Have the two seniors heard the saying of resurrecting the soul through a dead body?"
"We were talking about this just now." Yin Hou patted the head of Xiao Wu who was close to him.Xiao Wu has been a little disappointed recently, Zhan Zhao is very busy, and he disappeared in a flash just now, so it didn't even have a chance to rub against him.
"As far as I know, the stork's ear has been dead for many years." Tianzun frowned slightly, "There is no reason to stand there so alive."
"Stork ears?"
While talking, Lin Yehuo also came, holding red bean paste and admiring the cooking skills of the lady in the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion.As soon as he sat down, he found that Zou Liang was sitting next to him.
Lin Yehuo pretended to be surprised, "Oh? You're here? I thought it was a stone stool!"
On the side, Ouyang Shaozheng and Long Qiaoguang laughed and beat the table.
Zou Liang looked at the two speechlessly—is it so funny?
"Oh, idiot!" Suqing also sat down next to Lin Yehuo, a little crowded, so he touched Zou Liang with his arm, "Sit over!"
Zou Liang looked at him, and said softly, "Could you let the stone stool sit on it? Who is as amazing as you!"
……
Lin Yehuo was choked for a moment, busy thinking of what to say to fight back.
On the other side, Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang Shaozheng continued to laugh until they pounded the table.
Zhao Pu asked Suqing, "Do you know how to resurrect a soul with a dead body?"
Su Qing nodded, "Are you talking about spells or sorcery?"
"Is there a difference?" Zhao Pu asked.
"If it's a spell, then it's witchcraft, which uses poison or some mechanism to create the illusion of resurrection."
"What about sorcery?" Everyone was curious.
"Evil magic is more evil!" Su Qing said, "It has something to do with the soul!"
"Soul?" All the masters present tilted their heads to look at him.
It was the first time for Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang to hear about it—there is such a thing as a soul?
Su Qing reached out and put her own shield on the table.
"What a handsome shield!" Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang are used to seeing all kinds of weapons. It is true that everyone's weapons are very handsome, but Su Qing's shield is particularly domineering!
The fourth son stretched out his hand and lifted it, but he didn't move at all—it was so heavy!
"Did you see the incantations and patterns on the shield?" Su Qing asked.
Everyone nodded. In addition to the scene of hell, there are many strange words on this shield.
"It's like a ghost talisman." The fourth son stretched out his hand to touch it, it was so cold.
"This is a ghost talisman, that is, the underworld. According to legend, my shield is the cover of the entrance to hell, so the underworld on it is for soul-suppressing." Su Qing said, "The underworld is very mysterious. Nine out of ten fortune-telling Taoists Half of them are liars, the real underworld can control the soul, it is the spell of the yang world to control the yin world."
The more people listened, the more mysterious they became.
Lin Yehuo finished drinking the red bean paste, pointed to Suqing, and told everyone, "His ancestors have been hunting ghosts and subduing demons for many generations."
"Oh..." Everyone understood.
"The resurrection of the soul of the sorcerer is actually a kind of soul-locking technique." Su Qing continued, "When the child was just born, he was branded with the underworld of locking the soul, which is a soul-locking talisman. In this way, the child No matter what happens in the future, the soul will not leave!"
Everyone frowned slightly... Is there such a saying?
"If the person with the soul-locking talisman dies, there are two ways to bring him back to life!" Su Qing stretched out two fingers and said in detail, "The first is to use the corpse to resurrect the soul. As the name suggests, the resurrection is not your own." Body! The second is resurrection from the dead, using your own body!"
"So amazing?"
At this time, someone behind everyone spoke. Looking back, it was Bao Zheng holding red bean paste, and behind him were two fathers and sons, Pang Ji and Pang Yu.
Pang Yu was released by Bao Zheng just now, now he and Grand Master Pang are more concerned about the case. After all, besides wronging Pang Yu, there are people who want to poison Concubine Pang.
"The two methods, is there a detailed method of operation?" Bao Zheng asked Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded, "The first method is more common, because it is not easy to be discovered! The method is to find two living people, extract his soul, and then take out the soul locked in the body of the deceased, and put it into the It was taken out of the body of the soul! In this way, after being revived, it will be the soul of the deceased and the body of other people!"
"How do I get it out?" Bao Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise—what a strange force!
"The specific operation is more complicated. There must be a mage. My ancestors called this kind of person who takes people's souls and pretends to be souls. They are also called ghost messengers."
"Ghost messenger?!"
Everyone was startled, and immediately thought of what Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had seen outside Fang Ba's barracks before, the ghost messenger who disappeared when they arrived at Yaoji Paper Shop!Reminiscent of the sudden reappearance of Stork Ear after being dead for many years, is there any connection?
"What about the second method?" Bao Zheng asked, "How can I bring myself back to life?"
"This technique is even more technical, and it requires ghosts to do it, but this method is more cruel!" Su Qing said, "Blood sacrifice is required!"
"Blood sacrifice..." Zhao Pu sighed.
The fourth son asked curiously, "Jiujiu, do you know?"
Zhao Pu nodded and asked Suqing, "Do you need to massacre thousands of people?"
Su Qing nodded, "Does the Ninth Prince remember the Uighur general Landu, who sacrificed thousands of people to revive his lover in order to revive his soul?"
Zhao Pu nodded.
"My lord, which battle was it?" Bao Zheng wondered why he hadn't heard of it.
"These are some legends circulating on the battlefield." Zhao Pudao, "About 300 years ago, the lover of Uighur General Landu died of illness, and he didn't know who he listened to, saying that the blood sacrifice of thousands of people could kill his lover. And resurrected, so he slaughtered all the innocent people in a village... But the ending was not happy. It is said that after his lover was resurrected, the entire military camp was suddenly infected with the plague, including Lando, none of the 10,000+ people were spared. There are also Many people said it was retribution."
Bao Yan was horrified, "Can you really be resurrected?"
The fourth son kept shaking his head, "When a person dies, their internal organs will be destroyed. How can a person come back to life? Impossible!"
Zhao Pu pinched his face, "So it's a legend."
"However, no matter what kind of resurrection, there is one key point!" Su Qing's words once again attracted everyone's attention.
"The corpse must be intact!" Su Qing said lightly, "If the corpse is damaged, even a little bit, otherwise it will not be able to be resurrected, or... if it is resurrected, it will not be the same person as before! The soul-locking charm is very weak , Once the body is damaged, the soul will leak out. At that time, the resurrected person will be a living dead! It will harm countless people."
"Oh." Bao Yan said suddenly, "Brother Zhan and the others pierced Fang Jun, what should we do?"
Pang Yu raised his hand and knocked him on the head, "You are really a nerd, do you believe this? You are clearly deceiving!"
Su Qing nodded, "Although these crooked methods have been around for a long time, at least I haven't seen any that have really succeeded."
"Then the technique of resurrecting the Ghost Banner General back then is considered a sorcery, right?" Yinhou and Tianzun asked Suqing.
"Anything that involves ghosts or souls is a sorcery, and you need to understand the underworld." Su Qing asked suddenly, "You just said that Zhan Zhao stabbed Fang Jun's body?"
"Yeah, it's such a small hole." The fourth son gestured for the size of the needle's eye. The needle was given to Zhan Zhao by Gongsun, so he understood.
"According to the legend, it is impossible for Fang Jun to regenerate with his original body. Even if he is resurrected, he will not be the original him. The only way is to use the corpse to revive his soul... Moreover, he must use the corpse of the person who destroyed his corpse."
Everyone was silent for a while, surprised, "Use Zhan Zhao?"
Su Qing nodded and emphasized, "We can only use Zhan Zhao!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Yin Hou touched his chin suddenly, "How did you draw that soul-locking curse? It is necessary to draw one on my Zhaozhao's body, so that the soul will not be taken away by others."
……
"Ah Choo..." Zhan Zhao, who was walking on the road to Tianxianju, suddenly felt the sun dazzle his eyes, raised his face, and sneezed loudly.
"Yo, Mr. Zhan, have you caught a cold?"
"Wear more!"
"That's right, let Mr. Gongsun prescribe you a prescription."
The vendors on both sides and the passers-by they knew and didn't know all talked to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao greeted and asked the past all the way, his head was full of things about the case.He originally wanted to come to Bai Yutang and come out to get some air, but the market in front of him was noisy, why are there so many people?
In the end, Zhan Zhao became more and more strange as he walked. The streets were filled with big girls and young wives. This is not a festival. Where did so many people come from...
"Auntie." Zhan Zhao went to a very familiar shumai shop in front of him, bought a bunch of shumai, and asked the auntie while gnawing, "Why are there so many people?"
"Haha!" The aunt was very heroic, and her smile was dull, "Didn't the Zhao family army come with a hundred thousand troops at the gate of the city! That's a hundred thousand young men, and apart from married couples, there are at least fifty thousand bachelors. There is no lack of generals leading civil and military talents, and they are tall and handsome... The girls will naturally come out to have sex!"
"Oh..." Zhan Zhao understood, don't talk about it, it's a solution!Zhao Pu should hold a blind date or something, and solve the marriage issue for the officers and soldiers in his barracks.
"Hey, Mr. Zhan, do you have a sweetheart?" The uncle who was making siu mai asked Zhan Zhao with a smile.
"Hehe." Zhan Zhao finished eating the siu mai and immediately ran away, scratching his head with a smile, and all the uncles and aunts behind him laughed at him, "Oh, I'm so shy! I must have a sweetheart!"
Zhan Zhao made it difficult for pedestrians to avoid him, and most people knew him, so he was almost too busy to greet him, so he simply went to the roof and walked slowly.
Tianxianju is just ahead. This restaurant is also a legend in Kaifeng. The owner is the previous chef of the imperial dining room.
Fatty Wang cooks one dish every day, called Tianxian Noodles, which is very expensive, and if you want to eat it, you have to queue up, it may take half a year or a year.
Bai Yutang had made the reservation three months ago, so we had to wait for a while, but there happened to be a family who had not been in Kaifeng for the past few days.Fatty Wang met Chen Xing'er on the street yesterday, and asked her if Bai Yutang wanted to come early to pick it up, Chen Xing'er hurriedly said yes, so... Bai Yutang brought the food himself.
"It turned out that you came in person." Fatty Wang was making the last stuffed shrimp, and looked in surprise at Bai Yutang who came in through the window.
"En." Bai Yutang sat by the railing and waited without saying a word.
Chef Wang carefully packed Tianxian brew into an exquisite food box and put it at Bai Yutang's hand.
Bai Yutang took out a bank note and gave it to him, but Fatty Wang didn't take it, and waved his hand, "I won't take your money."
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, a little puzzled - he didn't have any friendship with Chef Wang, so there was no reason to take other people's things for nothing.
"Hey." Fatty Wang came over with a sudden smile and said, "What would you do if I told you to have a drink with me instead of charging you?"
Bai Yutang's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Haha." Fatty Wang quickly stepped aside and waved his hands, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't cut me."
Bai Yutang put down the banknote and was about to leave, Fatty Wang said, "I don't accept your money because I need your help with something."
Bai Yutang stopped and looked at him in a blink of an eye.
"I thought you sent a girl here and wanted her to bring a letter, but God helped me that you came here by yourself!" Fatty Wang hugged his arms in distress, "I've been in some trouble recently."
"Why didn't you report to the officials if you were in trouble?" Bai Yutang asked coldly.
"Hehe..." Chef Wang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I wouldn't bother you if I could report to the government, would I?"
For Zhan Zhao's sake, Bai Yutang listened patiently. As for why it was for Zhan Zhao's sake... Bai Yutang always thought that Zhan Zhao would like anyone who cooks well... Aiwujiwu?
"Half a month ago, I received a gift, or... a deposit." As he spoke, Chef Wang dragged out a box from under the table and put it on the table. With a heavy "bang", it can be seen that the box is very heavy.
Fatty Wang opened the lid of the box, pointed at it, and signaled Bai Yutang to look at it.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and saw that it was a box full of gold...
After taking a look, Bai Yutang was surprised.Of course, it’s not like Qian Wuye has never seen such a small amount. The reason why he was surprised was that all the gold bricks inside were made into the shape of a coffin. There was an inexplicable sense of joy and a little gloomy.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and asked Fatty Wang, "What do you mean?"
"Oh... this is something only a cook would encounter." Fatty Wang explained to Bai Yutang helplessly, "Some meals are made for the living, and some are for the dead."
Bai Yutang still didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Someone wants to do something for you and ask you to cook?"
The corner of Fatty Wang's mouth twitched, "Fifth Master, you lack common sense, tofu rice is also made for living people."
Bai Yutang looked at him for a while, and then asked, "I'm also a living person, how can I have common sense about what dead people eat?"
"Uh..." Fatty Wang rubbed his chin, unable to think of anything to refute.
Bai Yutang ran out of patience, and asked, "Why don't you make a long story short, or talk about it another day?"
Fatty Wang hurried over to close the window, fearing that Bai Yutang would escape, "Fifth Master, you can't leave. If you can save me this time, I'll make you whatever you want in the future!"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, but this can be considered. Chef Wang's culinary skills are famous all over the world. If he can learn all his life skills, he probably won't repeat the same thing for a year. Then I don't know if it is possible to feed Zhan Zhao into a fat cat. ?
"Speak." Bai Yutang simply found a stool and sat down.
"This kind of deposit is called Ming Xijin, and it's for cooking for ghosts!" Chef Wang said mysteriously.
Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning, "What do ghosts eat? Incense and candles?"
Fatty Wang laughed dryly, "Don't be joking, Fifth Lord, incense and candles are only used for Qingming sacrifices, and ghosts eat people!"
Bai Yutang felt that he didn't hear clearly, "What do you eat?"
"Cannibal!" Chef Wang said helplessly.
"So...someone paid you to have a human feast?" Bai Yutang asked.
Chef Wang nodded.
"Then... whose meat is used?" Bai Yutang became inexplicably curious.
"It is said that the murderer has not been caught yet, and if he is caught, he will be captured alive and sent to me." Fatty Wang patted his chest for fear, "According to the rules of making meditation seats, the meat and organs are all made directly from living people. , A total of ninety-nine and 81 dishes will be made."
Bai Yutang didn't want to help Fatty Wang for some reason, not because of anything else, but because he felt sick to his stomach, Zhan Zhao probably could only eat Tianxian Niang this day, and he didn't want to eat for two days.
"Fifth Master, help!" Fatty Wang cried with a sad face.
Bai Yutang frowned, "Why do you beg me to save you? You can ask Zhan Zhao to save you for such a thing."
"Is there any difference between please and Qiu Zhanzhao?" Fatty Wang spread his hands, "Aren't you two lifelong friends?"
Bai Yutang blinked - he couldn't think of any rebuttal, this fat man was quite sharp-tongued.
"I feel like someone is staring at me when I go in and out these few days." Chef Wang said helplessly, "The other party's skill is much better than mine. I'm afraid he will die before he arrives at Kaifeng Mansion and sees Zhan Zhao."
Bai Yutang suddenly understood, it turned out that Fatty Wang asked Chen Xing'er to bring a letter saying that the Tianxian brew was free for a day, it was not a coincidence at all, he was the one who asked for help.
"Who gave you the money to do the meditation banquet?" Bai Yutang asked.
When Fatty Wang heard this, his face turned green again, "This is also the reason why I didn't report to the police. No one will believe me!"
Bai Yutang frowned, and urged Fatty Wang to speak quickly.
"It's... Chai Rong." Fatty Wang stuttered.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Which Chai Rong?"
"Shi... Shizong Chai Rong..." Fatty Wang was complete.
Bai Yutang stopped talking and stared at Fatty Wang, seemingly hesitating whether to punch him awake or ask Mr. Gongsun to come and show him?This person is talking in his sleep during the day, he doesn't know whether the Tianxian brew he made is poisonous or not, don't eat that greedy cat.
Seeing Bai Yutang's expression, Chef Wang knew that he didn't believe him, so he said helplessly, "I'm telling the truth! It's not like I haven't seen Chai Rong's portrait before, and he looks very similar! He didn't speak the whole time, and the martial arts around him One of the masters is Huang Shihai, the originator of Kunlun."
Bai Yutang stared at him again, "Huang Shihai has been dead for 100 years, if he is alive, he will be older than my master."
"But he said he was Huang Shihai, and he really looked like he just crawled out of a coffin." Chef Wang said helplessly, "And he is holding a soul-breaking knife. Who is it but Huang Shihai?"
The more Bai Yutang heard it, the more bizarre he felt, "Which dead person do they want you to serve as a banquet?"
"They didn't say this, they just asked me to prepare the ingredients." Chef Wang explained, "There are a lot of ingredients to prepare for the meditation banquet."
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Take me away!" Fatty Wang said sincerely.
Bai Yutang looked disgusted, "It's more realistic to kill you directly."
Fatty Wang was obviously joking, restrained himself, and said seriously, "Can you help me find a ghost exorcist to take a look? Or help me ask your master... I know Tianzun is in Kaifeng."
"I need to look for the ghost exorcist. I can ask the master for you, but he probably doesn't know Huang Shihai." Bai Yutang said.
"It doesn't matter, he is very knowledgeable, maybe he can help me." Chef Wang hurriedly thanked him.
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "If you don't feel safe, go to Kaifeng Mansion to take refuge."
Chef Wang went on to thank him, and gave Bai Yutang an extra jar of good-quality osmanthus wine. Bai Yutang took it and walked away from the window, full of suspicion—this is really strange!
As soon as he left Tianxianju, Bai Yutang was also surprised by the bustle outside. He went straight to the roof, but saw Zhan Zhao standing on the roof in the distance.
Bai Yutang went over with the food box, and saw Zhan Zhao standing on the roof confronting someone.The man looked short and fat from the back, with a gray monk's head, wearing a lama robe, but Taoist leggings and sandals on his feet, a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and a dust whisk behind his back, which was neither fish nor fowl.
Inexplicably, Bai Yutang felt that this figure from the back looked familiar.
At this time, Zhan Zhao's expression can be described as horrified and puzzled.
……
It is said that Zhan Zhao was on the roof just now and was rushing to Tianxianju, when he heard someone say, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few years and I'm still alive and kicking."
Zhan Zhao stopped in his tracks, wondering who?With such high internal strength, the voice is still familiar.
At this time, a chunky figure appeared on the roof not far away.
Zhan Zhao took a look and was stunned on the spot.
Who is this Taoist monk and lama in three costumes?This is a top-notch master in the Jianghu martial arts world. He has no solution to his Dharma name, and is known as the "Monk of Unknown".
Why is Zhan Zhao surprised?Because Monk Wupu died five years ago!The whole rivers and lakes know it.Zhan Zhao had known Wu Jie since he was young, and the two had a good relationship. After Wu Jie died, Zhan Zhao went to visit his grave. Now that a person who had been dead for five years appeared in front of him, Zhan Zhao really couldn't accept it.
The weirdest thing is that Wujie's appearance hasn't changed at all, but his face is gray and his eyes are lifeless, and his whole person has a sinister aura.
"Oh, Mopu, this is your little friend Zhan Zhao?" At this time, another person landed, standing on the higher roof behind Mopu, squatting down and looking at Zhan Zhao with a smile.
Zhan Zhao couldn't come back to his senses, he knew the person coming!
This man's name is Yan Fei, nicknamed Flower Butterfly, he is a flower picker, and this man is not only a womanizer, but also a man.As an official, Zhan Zhao naturally knew about this notorious villain.But Zhan Zhao knew better that Yan Fei was already dead!He died together with his equally bad brother Yan Feng, and at the hands of Bai Yutang.
About three years ago, Bai Yutang passed by a town shop. It was a coincidence that the restaurant where he lived was opposite a girl's incense pavilion. When Yan Fei came out to do evil at night, Bai Yutang heard the movement and rescued the girl. Seeing that Yan Fei didn't like it, He chopped him down with a single knife. Later, Yan Fei's younger brother Yan Feng wanted to attack Bai Yutang to avenge his elder brother. Bai Yutang chopped him in half with a single knife. Everyone in Jianghu knew about it.Yan Feiyan Feng Qinggong is good at martial arts and cunning, so many officials and knights chased and killed them, they both missed one after another, and even lost their lives.This is Bai Yutang's great act of eliminating harm for the people. Zhan Zhao remembered that Bao Zheng told him before that Bai Yutang could actually get a very generous bounty for killing these two scumbags.
But at this moment, that scum Yanfei came back to life?It just appeared in front of Zhan Zhao, which makes Zhan Zhao not confused.
"Tsk tsk!" Yan Fei stroked his chin and looked Zhan Zhao up and down, "Isn't it pretty! Better than Bai Yutang's eyes, especially the eyes, so pretty..."
Before Yan Fei could finish speaking, a sentence came from behind him suddenly, "It's not enough for you to die once, do you want to die one more time?"
Yan Fei was taken aback for a moment, and as soon as he turned his head, Fei kicked him in the face.
Yan Fei flew into the air with an "oops".
"Bai Yutang!" Yan Fei covered his nose to see the person who kicked him clearly, and stared.
Zhan Zhao also saw it, and saw Bai Yutang carrying a food box and landed next to him, and stuffed the food box into his arms.
"Uh..." Just as Zhan Zhao was about to speak, Bai Yutang's saber was already out of its sheath, and he leaped into the air with a murderous aura, obviously aiming to kill Yanfei for the second time.
It was too late for Yan Fei to hide, he was stabbed in the stomach, and the whole abdomen was cut open.
Bai Yutang's knife should have split Yan Fei twice, but Yan Fei's body was very light, so the one that fell was a little slower than Bai Yutang estimated, and it was not cut off. The mouth is enough, and there is no doubt that he will die.
"Wow!"
It's just that Yan Fei fell to the roof, didn't vomit blood and died, and didn't roll all over the floor. Instead, he covered his stomach with one hand and pointed at Bai Yutang with the other, "Bai, you don't need to kill me if you fucking see me!"
Bai Yutang landed next to Zhan Zhao, the two exchanged glances and frowned.
Bai Yutang's stabbing was no joke, whoever gets stabbed will die!But Yan Fei didn't die, and not a single drop of blood flowed out, but there was a big gash in his belly. He grabbed the wound with one hand, like a torn piece of clothing, and looked at Bai Yutang quite proudly, " Want to kill me? It's not that easy."
"Are you sure?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, his murderous intent came up, and he said to chop you up, let's see if you can put it together yourself.
Yan Fei was obviously afraid of Bai Yutang, knowing that despite his handsome appearance, the Chinchilla was not cute at all!He quickly hid behind Wujie.
Just at this moment, there was a strange flute sound in the distance, somewhat like a Qiang flute, and the sound was muffled.
Yan Fei and Wu Jie looked at each other, and in a flash... disappeared.
Bai Yutang frowned as he watched the two disappear into the crowd, and ran quite fast.
"Cat, what's the matter?" Bai Yutang retracted the knife and asked Zhan Zhao, but he didn't hear Zhan Zhao's reply, wondering if the cat was overly shocked?Looking back...
At this moment, Zhan Zhao held the food box in one hand and lifted the lid to look at the vegetables inside, then closed the lid, hugged him contentedly, "Heavenly Immortal Brew! I've wanted to eat it for a long time!"
Bai Yutang supported his forehead——Zhan Zhao's nerves were twice as thick as noodles, and he didn't even take it to heart if he dared to bring back the dead and resurrect his soul in front of delicious food.
Now, Fang Ba was completely speechless.
Pang Ji looked at Fang Ba's dejected appearance, then at the two corpses lying on the ground, and then at his son Pang Yu, who was alive and kicking behind him, feeling a little sympathetic to Fang Ba with his white hair for no reason.All the thousands of thoughts he had brewed along the way to teach the Fang family a good lesson disappeared, and he stepped forward to salute Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, I, Yu'er..."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Bao Qing, this case is not over yet, we need to catch the real culprit, and give justice to the two young masters."
Bao Zheng sternly agreed.
After that, Zhao Zhen didn't seem to be bothered to lose his temper any more. He was about to become a father. One can imagine the pain of losing a son. Although there were many doubts, Zhao Zhen always trusted Bao Zheng. Since he came back, the case was handed over to the Kaifeng government. The trial is enough, and it can be regarded as calming down a storm.
Gongsun detoxified Fang Wen and Fangcai, and everyone went back to their homes.
Fang Ba's face softened a little at this time, and he asked Bao Zheng, "Bao Xiang, can I take my son's body?"
Bao Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun actually wanted to find out how Fang Jun and Fang Wu were poisoned, so he said, "My lord, if you are willing to perform an autopsy, it will help you catch the murderer who poisoned your son..."
"Can my son be resurrected after catching the murderer?" Fang Ba asked rhetorically.
Gongsun frowned slightly.
"Forget it." Fang Ba looked very depressed, and bowed his hands to Gongsun, "Thank you sir for detoxifying my son, I just want to take my two children home."
Everyone looked at each other.
Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao—when he said that Pang Yu was the murderer, the old man insisted on avenging his son, why did he lose his arrogance this time?
Gongsun still wanted to argue a few words, but Master Bao gave him a wink.
Gongsun immediately stopped talking, Bao Zheng nodded, and the other party was domineering, "The old prince can take the bodies of the two sons back, but the case should be thoroughly investigated by the government."
Gongsun prescribed a prescription for Fang Junhe and told him to take it on time.
After the Fang family's father and son left, Zhao Pu called two shadow guards, "Keep an eye on them and see if the corpse was buried directly, or if there is another use for it."
The shadow guards nodded and left.
Gongsun asked Zhao Pu a little puzzled, "The body was either buried or burned, what else can we do?"
Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment.
"There are many uses."
At this time, Lin Yehuo, who was yawning, said, "Could this old man believe in some gods and ghosts, and plan to bring his two sons back to life?"
"Can you be revived after death?" Gongsun and Bao Yan said in unison, with somewhat similar expressions.
Lin Yehuo gave a dry laugh, "There are some crooked people who have done this, and Suqing knows better...it seems to have something to do with the resurrection of the dead."
Bao Zheng was a little curious, so he invited Lin Yehuo and the others to Kaifeng Mansion as guests, and asked Su Qing about this "borrowing the corpse to return the soul".
……
Once everyone returned to Kaifeng, the whole imperial city became lively.
Gongsun was the busiest one, and was first dragged by Taishi Pang to give Concubine Pang a physical examination.
Gongsun prescribed some anti-fetal medicines for Concubine Pang, and instructed everyone to take good care of her. Concubine Pang is in good health, so don't be too nervous.
Later, she was found by the queen mother, who had a migraine for the past few days, Gongsun gave her acupuncture, and was invited by all kinds of civil and military officials to the mansion for consultation when she just left the house.
Zhao Pu went to the barracks to arrange soldiers and horses, and when he came back, he couldn't even find Gongsun Mao, only the youngest son in the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.
Ouyang Shaozheng introduced Long Qiaoguang to Zhan Zhao and others.
Long Qiaoguang is really talkative.
Not all the people from Huofengtang came, Liu Hanxing and others all went back, Lin Yehuo took Suqing and followed Xiao Liang around the world.
In fact, Suqing also wants to return to Huofengtang, he still has a sect to take care of, but Liu Hanxing and the others said that leaving Lin Yehuo alone does not know what trouble will happen, so everyone guessed rock-scissors Bu and Suqing lost, so they had to stay and "take care" of their leader.
After Zhan Zhao finished handling the matters to be dealt with in the case, he walked around the Kaifeng mansion twice, and found everyone, except Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao asked Tianzun who was drinking tea with Yinhou in the yard, "Where is Yutang?"
Tianzun smiled, "Probably went to buy food for you."
Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head, turned around and left somewhat embarrassed.
Yin Hou shook his head helplessly, "Your Yutang is really interesting. I don't like to eat, but I search for delicious food from all over the world to feed the cat."
Tianzun smiled lightly, "My Yutang is naturally good..." He was about to compliment a few more words, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Before you..."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yin Hou asked, "What do you want to say? Why are you hesitating when you are over 100 years old?"
"What does hesitating have to do with how old I am?" Tianzun squinted at him.
"Say it." Yin Hou glared at him.
Tianzun held the cup, "Did you see the stork ears just now?"
Yin Hou was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "I know what you want to say."
"Sure enough..." Tianzun frowned.
"Surely what?"
The two looked back, no one was there!Bow your head again... Little Sizi was standing beside them, holding two small bowls of red bean paste in his hand.
After Tianzun and Yinhou took the bowl, they saw Bao Yan, Bao Fu and Xiao Liang were distributing red bean paste to everyone, which was a dessert made by the kitchen lady.
The fourth son climbed up the stool, sat on Yin Hou's lap, and looked at the two curiously.
At this time, Zhao Pu, who couldn't find Gongsun, also came over with a bowl of red bean paste, "Where are Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang?"
"In vain, I went to Tianxianju to buy some fresh wine." The fourth son crawled over Yin Hou's lap and crawled to Zhao Pu's side.
Zhao Pu picked him up and put him on the table, fed him red bean paste, and said with emotion, "Bai Yutang is so talented. He only buys one portion of Tianxianju's first-grade fresh brew a day. He ordered it half a year in advance, right?"
"Three months ahead of schedule." The fourth son swayed his legs, "Maomao asked just now, and then went out, it should be looking for Bai Bai."
While feeding the fourth son, Zhao Pu asked Tianzun and Yinhou, "Have the two seniors heard the saying of resurrecting the soul through a dead body?"
"We were talking about this just now." Yin Hou patted the head of Xiao Wu who was close to him.Xiao Wu has been a little disappointed recently, Zhan Zhao is very busy, and he disappeared in a flash just now, so it didn't even have a chance to rub against him.
"As far as I know, the stork's ear has been dead for many years." Tianzun frowned slightly, "There is no reason to stand there so alive."
"Stork ears?"
While talking, Lin Yehuo also came, holding red bean paste and admiring the cooking skills of the lady in the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion.As soon as he sat down, he found that Zou Liang was sitting next to him.
Lin Yehuo pretended to be surprised, "Oh? You're here? I thought it was a stone stool!"
On the side, Ouyang Shaozheng and Long Qiaoguang laughed and beat the table.
Zou Liang looked at the two speechlessly—is it so funny?
"Oh, idiot!" Suqing also sat down next to Lin Yehuo, a little crowded, so he touched Zou Liang with his arm, "Sit over!"
Zou Liang looked at him, and said softly, "Could you let the stone stool sit on it? Who is as amazing as you!"
……
Lin Yehuo was choked for a moment, busy thinking of what to say to fight back.
On the other side, Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang Shaozheng continued to laugh until they pounded the table.
Zhao Pu asked Suqing, "Do you know how to resurrect a soul with a dead body?"
Su Qing nodded, "Are you talking about spells or sorcery?"
"Is there a difference?" Zhao Pu asked.
"If it's a spell, then it's witchcraft, which uses poison or some mechanism to create the illusion of resurrection."
"What about sorcery?" Everyone was curious.
"Evil magic is more evil!" Su Qing said, "It has something to do with the soul!"
"Soul?" All the masters present tilted their heads to look at him.
It was the first time for Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang to hear about it—there is such a thing as a soul?
Su Qing reached out and put her own shield on the table.
"What a handsome shield!" Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang are used to seeing all kinds of weapons. It is true that everyone's weapons are very handsome, but Su Qing's shield is particularly domineering!
The fourth son stretched out his hand and lifted it, but he didn't move at all—it was so heavy!
"Did you see the incantations and patterns on the shield?" Su Qing asked.
Everyone nodded. In addition to the scene of hell, there are many strange words on this shield.
"It's like a ghost talisman." The fourth son stretched out his hand to touch it, it was so cold.
"This is a ghost talisman, that is, the underworld. According to legend, my shield is the cover of the entrance to hell, so the underworld on it is for soul-suppressing." Su Qing said, "The underworld is very mysterious. Nine out of ten fortune-telling Taoists Half of them are liars, the real underworld can control the soul, it is the spell of the yang world to control the yin world."
The more people listened, the more mysterious they became.
Lin Yehuo finished drinking the red bean paste, pointed to Suqing, and told everyone, "His ancestors have been hunting ghosts and subduing demons for many generations."
"Oh..." Everyone understood.
"The resurrection of the soul of the sorcerer is actually a kind of soul-locking technique." Su Qing continued, "When the child was just born, he was branded with the underworld of locking the soul, which is a soul-locking talisman. In this way, the child No matter what happens in the future, the soul will not leave!"
Everyone frowned slightly... Is there such a saying?
"If the person with the soul-locking talisman dies, there are two ways to bring him back to life!" Su Qing stretched out two fingers and said in detail, "The first is to use the corpse to resurrect the soul. As the name suggests, the resurrection is not your own." Body! The second is resurrection from the dead, using your own body!"
"So amazing?"
At this time, someone behind everyone spoke. Looking back, it was Bao Zheng holding red bean paste, and behind him were two fathers and sons, Pang Ji and Pang Yu.
Pang Yu was released by Bao Zheng just now, now he and Grand Master Pang are more concerned about the case. After all, besides wronging Pang Yu, there are people who want to poison Concubine Pang.
"The two methods, is there a detailed method of operation?" Bao Zheng asked Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded, "The first method is more common, because it is not easy to be discovered! The method is to find two living people, extract his soul, and then take out the soul locked in the body of the deceased, and put it into the It was taken out of the body of the soul! In this way, after being revived, it will be the soul of the deceased and the body of other people!"
"How do I get it out?" Bao Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise—what a strange force!
"The specific operation is more complicated. There must be a mage. My ancestors called this kind of person who takes people's souls and pretends to be souls. They are also called ghost messengers."
"Ghost messenger?!"
Everyone was startled, and immediately thought of what Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had seen outside Fang Ba's barracks before, the ghost messenger who disappeared when they arrived at Yaoji Paper Shop!Reminiscent of the sudden reappearance of Stork Ear after being dead for many years, is there any connection?
"What about the second method?" Bao Zheng asked, "How can I bring myself back to life?"
"This technique is even more technical, and it requires ghosts to do it, but this method is more cruel!" Su Qing said, "Blood sacrifice is required!"
"Blood sacrifice..." Zhao Pu sighed.
The fourth son asked curiously, "Jiujiu, do you know?"
Zhao Pu nodded and asked Suqing, "Do you need to massacre thousands of people?"
Su Qing nodded, "Does the Ninth Prince remember the Uighur general Landu, who sacrificed thousands of people to revive his lover in order to revive his soul?"
Zhao Pu nodded.
"My lord, which battle was it?" Bao Zheng wondered why he hadn't heard of it.
"These are some legends circulating on the battlefield." Zhao Pudao, "About 300 years ago, the lover of Uighur General Landu died of illness, and he didn't know who he listened to, saying that the blood sacrifice of thousands of people could kill his lover. And resurrected, so he slaughtered all the innocent people in a village... But the ending was not happy. It is said that after his lover was resurrected, the entire military camp was suddenly infected with the plague, including Lando, none of the 10,000+ people were spared. There are also Many people said it was retribution."
Bao Yan was horrified, "Can you really be resurrected?"
The fourth son kept shaking his head, "When a person dies, their internal organs will be destroyed. How can a person come back to life? Impossible!"
Zhao Pu pinched his face, "So it's a legend."
"However, no matter what kind of resurrection, there is one key point!" Su Qing's words once again attracted everyone's attention.
"The corpse must be intact!" Su Qing said lightly, "If the corpse is damaged, even a little bit, otherwise it will not be able to be resurrected, or... if it is resurrected, it will not be the same person as before! The soul-locking charm is very weak , Once the body is damaged, the soul will leak out. At that time, the resurrected person will be a living dead! It will harm countless people."
"Oh." Bao Yan said suddenly, "Brother Zhan and the others pierced Fang Jun, what should we do?"
Pang Yu raised his hand and knocked him on the head, "You are really a nerd, do you believe this? You are clearly deceiving!"
Su Qing nodded, "Although these crooked methods have been around for a long time, at least I haven't seen any that have really succeeded."
"Then the technique of resurrecting the Ghost Banner General back then is considered a sorcery, right?" Yinhou and Tianzun asked Suqing.
"Anything that involves ghosts or souls is a sorcery, and you need to understand the underworld." Su Qing asked suddenly, "You just said that Zhan Zhao stabbed Fang Jun's body?"
"Yeah, it's such a small hole." The fourth son gestured for the size of the needle's eye. The needle was given to Zhan Zhao by Gongsun, so he understood.
"According to the legend, it is impossible for Fang Jun to regenerate with his original body. Even if he is resurrected, he will not be the original him. The only way is to use the corpse to revive his soul... Moreover, he must use the corpse of the person who destroyed his corpse."
Everyone was silent for a while, surprised, "Use Zhan Zhao?"
Su Qing nodded and emphasized, "We can only use Zhan Zhao!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Yin Hou touched his chin suddenly, "How did you draw that soul-locking curse? It is necessary to draw one on my Zhaozhao's body, so that the soul will not be taken away by others."
……
"Ah Choo..." Zhan Zhao, who was walking on the road to Tianxianju, suddenly felt the sun dazzle his eyes, raised his face, and sneezed loudly.
"Yo, Mr. Zhan, have you caught a cold?"
"Wear more!"
"That's right, let Mr. Gongsun prescribe you a prescription."
The vendors on both sides and the passers-by they knew and didn't know all talked to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao greeted and asked the past all the way, his head was full of things about the case.He originally wanted to come to Bai Yutang and come out to get some air, but the market in front of him was noisy, why are there so many people?
In the end, Zhan Zhao became more and more strange as he walked. The streets were filled with big girls and young wives. This is not a festival. Where did so many people come from...
"Auntie." Zhan Zhao went to a very familiar shumai shop in front of him, bought a bunch of shumai, and asked the auntie while gnawing, "Why are there so many people?"
"Haha!" The aunt was very heroic, and her smile was dull, "Didn't the Zhao family army come with a hundred thousand troops at the gate of the city! That's a hundred thousand young men, and apart from married couples, there are at least fifty thousand bachelors. There is no lack of generals leading civil and military talents, and they are tall and handsome... The girls will naturally come out to have sex!"
"Oh..." Zhan Zhao understood, don't talk about it, it's a solution!Zhao Pu should hold a blind date or something, and solve the marriage issue for the officers and soldiers in his barracks.
"Hey, Mr. Zhan, do you have a sweetheart?" The uncle who was making siu mai asked Zhan Zhao with a smile.
"Hehe." Zhan Zhao finished eating the siu mai and immediately ran away, scratching his head with a smile, and all the uncles and aunts behind him laughed at him, "Oh, I'm so shy! I must have a sweetheart!"
Zhan Zhao made it difficult for pedestrians to avoid him, and most people knew him, so he was almost too busy to greet him, so he simply went to the roof and walked slowly.
Tianxianju is just ahead. This restaurant is also a legend in Kaifeng. The owner is the previous chef of the imperial dining room.
Fatty Wang cooks one dish every day, called Tianxian Noodles, which is very expensive, and if you want to eat it, you have to queue up, it may take half a year or a year.
Bai Yutang had made the reservation three months ago, so we had to wait for a while, but there happened to be a family who had not been in Kaifeng for the past few days.Fatty Wang met Chen Xing'er on the street yesterday, and asked her if Bai Yutang wanted to come early to pick it up, Chen Xing'er hurriedly said yes, so... Bai Yutang brought the food himself.
"It turned out that you came in person." Fatty Wang was making the last stuffed shrimp, and looked in surprise at Bai Yutang who came in through the window.
"En." Bai Yutang sat by the railing and waited without saying a word.
Chef Wang carefully packed Tianxian brew into an exquisite food box and put it at Bai Yutang's hand.
Bai Yutang took out a bank note and gave it to him, but Fatty Wang didn't take it, and waved his hand, "I won't take your money."
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, a little puzzled - he didn't have any friendship with Chef Wang, so there was no reason to take other people's things for nothing.
"Hey." Fatty Wang came over with a sudden smile and said, "What would you do if I told you to have a drink with me instead of charging you?"
Bai Yutang's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Haha." Fatty Wang quickly stepped aside and waved his hands, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't cut me."
Bai Yutang put down the banknote and was about to leave, Fatty Wang said, "I don't accept your money because I need your help with something."
Bai Yutang stopped and looked at him in a blink of an eye.
"I thought you sent a girl here and wanted her to bring a letter, but God helped me that you came here by yourself!" Fatty Wang hugged his arms in distress, "I've been in some trouble recently."
"Why didn't you report to the officials if you were in trouble?" Bai Yutang asked coldly.
"Hehe..." Chef Wang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I wouldn't bother you if I could report to the government, would I?"
For Zhan Zhao's sake, Bai Yutang listened patiently. As for why it was for Zhan Zhao's sake... Bai Yutang always thought that Zhan Zhao would like anyone who cooks well... Aiwujiwu?
"Half a month ago, I received a gift, or... a deposit." As he spoke, Chef Wang dragged out a box from under the table and put it on the table. With a heavy "bang", it can be seen that the box is very heavy.
Fatty Wang opened the lid of the box, pointed at it, and signaled Bai Yutang to look at it.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and saw that it was a box full of gold...
After taking a look, Bai Yutang was surprised.Of course, it’s not like Qian Wuye has never seen such a small amount. The reason why he was surprised was that all the gold bricks inside were made into the shape of a coffin. There was an inexplicable sense of joy and a little gloomy.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and asked Fatty Wang, "What do you mean?"
"Oh... this is something only a cook would encounter." Fatty Wang explained to Bai Yutang helplessly, "Some meals are made for the living, and some are for the dead."
Bai Yutang still didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Someone wants to do something for you and ask you to cook?"
The corner of Fatty Wang's mouth twitched, "Fifth Master, you lack common sense, tofu rice is also made for living people."
Bai Yutang looked at him for a while, and then asked, "I'm also a living person, how can I have common sense about what dead people eat?"
"Uh..." Fatty Wang rubbed his chin, unable to think of anything to refute.
Bai Yutang ran out of patience, and asked, "Why don't you make a long story short, or talk about it another day?"
Fatty Wang hurried over to close the window, fearing that Bai Yutang would escape, "Fifth Master, you can't leave. If you can save me this time, I'll make you whatever you want in the future!"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, but this can be considered. Chef Wang's culinary skills are famous all over the world. If he can learn all his life skills, he probably won't repeat the same thing for a year. Then I don't know if it is possible to feed Zhan Zhao into a fat cat. ?
"Speak." Bai Yutang simply found a stool and sat down.
"This kind of deposit is called Ming Xijin, and it's for cooking for ghosts!" Chef Wang said mysteriously.
Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning, "What do ghosts eat? Incense and candles?"
Fatty Wang laughed dryly, "Don't be joking, Fifth Lord, incense and candles are only used for Qingming sacrifices, and ghosts eat people!"
Bai Yutang felt that he didn't hear clearly, "What do you eat?"
"Cannibal!" Chef Wang said helplessly.
"So...someone paid you to have a human feast?" Bai Yutang asked.
Chef Wang nodded.
"Then... whose meat is used?" Bai Yutang became inexplicably curious.
"It is said that the murderer has not been caught yet, and if he is caught, he will be captured alive and sent to me." Fatty Wang patted his chest for fear, "According to the rules of making meditation seats, the meat and organs are all made directly from living people. , A total of ninety-nine and 81 dishes will be made."
Bai Yutang didn't want to help Fatty Wang for some reason, not because of anything else, but because he felt sick to his stomach, Zhan Zhao probably could only eat Tianxian Niang this day, and he didn't want to eat for two days.
"Fifth Master, help!" Fatty Wang cried with a sad face.
Bai Yutang frowned, "Why do you beg me to save you? You can ask Zhan Zhao to save you for such a thing."
"Is there any difference between please and Qiu Zhanzhao?" Fatty Wang spread his hands, "Aren't you two lifelong friends?"
Bai Yutang blinked - he couldn't think of any rebuttal, this fat man was quite sharp-tongued.
"I feel like someone is staring at me when I go in and out these few days." Chef Wang said helplessly, "The other party's skill is much better than mine. I'm afraid he will die before he arrives at Kaifeng Mansion and sees Zhan Zhao."
Bai Yutang suddenly understood, it turned out that Fatty Wang asked Chen Xing'er to bring a letter saying that the Tianxian brew was free for a day, it was not a coincidence at all, he was the one who asked for help.
"Who gave you the money to do the meditation banquet?" Bai Yutang asked.
When Fatty Wang heard this, his face turned green again, "This is also the reason why I didn't report to the police. No one will believe me!"
Bai Yutang frowned, and urged Fatty Wang to speak quickly.
"It's... Chai Rong." Fatty Wang stuttered.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Which Chai Rong?"
"Shi... Shizong Chai Rong..." Fatty Wang was complete.
Bai Yutang stopped talking and stared at Fatty Wang, seemingly hesitating whether to punch him awake or ask Mr. Gongsun to come and show him?This person is talking in his sleep during the day, he doesn't know whether the Tianxian brew he made is poisonous or not, don't eat that greedy cat.
Seeing Bai Yutang's expression, Chef Wang knew that he didn't believe him, so he said helplessly, "I'm telling the truth! It's not like I haven't seen Chai Rong's portrait before, and he looks very similar! He didn't speak the whole time, and the martial arts around him One of the masters is Huang Shihai, the originator of Kunlun."
Bai Yutang stared at him again, "Huang Shihai has been dead for 100 years, if he is alive, he will be older than my master."
"But he said he was Huang Shihai, and he really looked like he just crawled out of a coffin." Chef Wang said helplessly, "And he is holding a soul-breaking knife. Who is it but Huang Shihai?"
The more Bai Yutang heard it, the more bizarre he felt, "Which dead person do they want you to serve as a banquet?"
"They didn't say this, they just asked me to prepare the ingredients." Chef Wang explained, "There are a lot of ingredients to prepare for the meditation banquet."
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Take me away!" Fatty Wang said sincerely.
Bai Yutang looked disgusted, "It's more realistic to kill you directly."
Fatty Wang was obviously joking, restrained himself, and said seriously, "Can you help me find a ghost exorcist to take a look? Or help me ask your master... I know Tianzun is in Kaifeng."
"I need to look for the ghost exorcist. I can ask the master for you, but he probably doesn't know Huang Shihai." Bai Yutang said.
"It doesn't matter, he is very knowledgeable, maybe he can help me." Chef Wang hurriedly thanked him.
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "If you don't feel safe, go to Kaifeng Mansion to take refuge."
Chef Wang went on to thank him, and gave Bai Yutang an extra jar of good-quality osmanthus wine. Bai Yutang took it and walked away from the window, full of suspicion—this is really strange!
As soon as he left Tianxianju, Bai Yutang was also surprised by the bustle outside. He went straight to the roof, but saw Zhan Zhao standing on the roof in the distance.
Bai Yutang went over with the food box, and saw Zhan Zhao standing on the roof confronting someone.The man looked short and fat from the back, with a gray monk's head, wearing a lama robe, but Taoist leggings and sandals on his feet, a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and a dust whisk behind his back, which was neither fish nor fowl.
Inexplicably, Bai Yutang felt that this figure from the back looked familiar.
At this time, Zhan Zhao's expression can be described as horrified and puzzled.
……
It is said that Zhan Zhao was on the roof just now and was rushing to Tianxianju, when he heard someone say, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a few years and I'm still alive and kicking."
Zhan Zhao stopped in his tracks, wondering who?With such high internal strength, the voice is still familiar.
At this time, a chunky figure appeared on the roof not far away.
Zhan Zhao took a look and was stunned on the spot.
Who is this Taoist monk and lama in three costumes?This is a top-notch master in the Jianghu martial arts world. He has no solution to his Dharma name, and is known as the "Monk of Unknown".
Why is Zhan Zhao surprised?Because Monk Wupu died five years ago!The whole rivers and lakes know it.Zhan Zhao had known Wu Jie since he was young, and the two had a good relationship. After Wu Jie died, Zhan Zhao went to visit his grave. Now that a person who had been dead for five years appeared in front of him, Zhan Zhao really couldn't accept it.
The weirdest thing is that Wujie's appearance hasn't changed at all, but his face is gray and his eyes are lifeless, and his whole person has a sinister aura.
"Oh, Mopu, this is your little friend Zhan Zhao?" At this time, another person landed, standing on the higher roof behind Mopu, squatting down and looking at Zhan Zhao with a smile.
Zhan Zhao couldn't come back to his senses, he knew the person coming!
This man's name is Yan Fei, nicknamed Flower Butterfly, he is a flower picker, and this man is not only a womanizer, but also a man.As an official, Zhan Zhao naturally knew about this notorious villain.But Zhan Zhao knew better that Yan Fei was already dead!He died together with his equally bad brother Yan Feng, and at the hands of Bai Yutang.
About three years ago, Bai Yutang passed by a town shop. It was a coincidence that the restaurant where he lived was opposite a girl's incense pavilion. When Yan Fei came out to do evil at night, Bai Yutang heard the movement and rescued the girl. Seeing that Yan Fei didn't like it, He chopped him down with a single knife. Later, Yan Fei's younger brother Yan Feng wanted to attack Bai Yutang to avenge his elder brother. Bai Yutang chopped him in half with a single knife. Everyone in Jianghu knew about it.Yan Feiyan Feng Qinggong is good at martial arts and cunning, so many officials and knights chased and killed them, they both missed one after another, and even lost their lives.This is Bai Yutang's great act of eliminating harm for the people. Zhan Zhao remembered that Bao Zheng told him before that Bai Yutang could actually get a very generous bounty for killing these two scumbags.
But at this moment, that scum Yanfei came back to life?It just appeared in front of Zhan Zhao, which makes Zhan Zhao not confused.
"Tsk tsk!" Yan Fei stroked his chin and looked Zhan Zhao up and down, "Isn't it pretty! Better than Bai Yutang's eyes, especially the eyes, so pretty..."
Before Yan Fei could finish speaking, a sentence came from behind him suddenly, "It's not enough for you to die once, do you want to die one more time?"
Yan Fei was taken aback for a moment, and as soon as he turned his head, Fei kicked him in the face.
Yan Fei flew into the air with an "oops".
"Bai Yutang!" Yan Fei covered his nose to see the person who kicked him clearly, and stared.
Zhan Zhao also saw it, and saw Bai Yutang carrying a food box and landed next to him, and stuffed the food box into his arms.
"Uh..." Just as Zhan Zhao was about to speak, Bai Yutang's saber was already out of its sheath, and he leaped into the air with a murderous aura, obviously aiming to kill Yanfei for the second time.
It was too late for Yan Fei to hide, he was stabbed in the stomach, and the whole abdomen was cut open.
Bai Yutang's knife should have split Yan Fei twice, but Yan Fei's body was very light, so the one that fell was a little slower than Bai Yutang estimated, and it was not cut off. The mouth is enough, and there is no doubt that he will die.
"Wow!"
It's just that Yan Fei fell to the roof, didn't vomit blood and died, and didn't roll all over the floor. Instead, he covered his stomach with one hand and pointed at Bai Yutang with the other, "Bai, you don't need to kill me if you fucking see me!"
Bai Yutang landed next to Zhan Zhao, the two exchanged glances and frowned.
Bai Yutang's stabbing was no joke, whoever gets stabbed will die!But Yan Fei didn't die, and not a single drop of blood flowed out, but there was a big gash in his belly. He grabbed the wound with one hand, like a torn piece of clothing, and looked at Bai Yutang quite proudly, " Want to kill me? It's not that easy."
"Are you sure?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, his murderous intent came up, and he said to chop you up, let's see if you can put it together yourself.
Yan Fei was obviously afraid of Bai Yutang, knowing that despite his handsome appearance, the Chinchilla was not cute at all!He quickly hid behind Wujie.
Just at this moment, there was a strange flute sound in the distance, somewhat like a Qiang flute, and the sound was muffled.
Yan Fei and Wu Jie looked at each other, and in a flash... disappeared.
Bai Yutang frowned as he watched the two disappear into the crowd, and ran quite fast.
"Cat, what's the matter?" Bai Yutang retracted the knife and asked Zhan Zhao, but he didn't hear Zhan Zhao's reply, wondering if the cat was overly shocked?Looking back...
At this moment, Zhan Zhao held the food box in one hand and lifted the lid to look at the vegetables inside, then closed the lid, hugged him contentedly, "Heavenly Immortal Brew! I've wanted to eat it for a long time!"
Bai Yutang supported his forehead——Zhan Zhao's nerves were twice as thick as noodles, and he didn't even take it to heart if he dared to bring back the dead and resurrect his soul in front of delicious food.
