Lost Charm

On the way back to the Underworld, Qian Jiguang's face was swollen with anger.

Without him, he was only teased by Yuchi Jiong again.When he stepped into the room of Fushi Beizhen, with Meng Yingming's expression of "I'm looking for you, but if you come here, don't leave", he realized that he was being tricked.

He wasn't the only one who teased Xu Qin, so why did he get stabbed at every time?

Thinking of what Meng Yingming said to him just now, Qian Jiguang couldn't help but blush, and dug a hole in the ground for the rest of his life.

He shook his head vigorously, shaking everything out of his mind, focusing his gaze on the corridor in front of him, but suddenly heard Yuchi's flattering voice coming from the underworld hall at the end.

"I didn't know they would say that, don't be angry, okay?"

Qian Jiguang: ...a strong feeling of pampering his wife came over his face, Yuchi Qianhu is not far from becoming a wife slave.

Xu Qin's innocent voice sounded: "Can't they see that we have nothing?"

Qian Jiguang raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Xu Qin really didn't see that Yu Chijiong was the biggest pusher. If he really wanted to stop him, he would have stopped him when he ran away yesterday. Yuchijiong had bad intentions at all.

Yu Chijiong's helpless voice then sounded: "This is something that can't be stopped, let them pass it on. I was young and frivolous and once fought against them. Since then, there have been more Ning Baihus who are only sealed by the emperor. They know how to measure, but you The more they resist, the more they think it's real, Xu Qin, I don't want the emperor to give me a marriage."

Qian Jiguang: Well, Yuchi Qianhu, let's see how big your cowhide is for you to brag like this.

Xu Qin was silent for a while before saying: "...Okay."

Qian Jiguang turned his head sideways, his eyes flashed in thought, what exactly did Yu Chijiong want to do?Back then, it became a joke because it was passed on to the Imperial Teacher, and it became true if it wasn't true. However, Xu Qin was his acquaintance, and the Imperial Advisor would never pass these things on to the Emperor.Using rumors to restrain Xu Qin, so many eyes staring at Xu Qin, is it because of what Xu Qin wants to do?

Qian Jiguang looked at the gate of the Underworld, and it turned out that he had something to report to Yu Chijiong, but since he wanted to bring Xu Qin with him, he could go to He Tong, or even Meng Yingming... It's not impossible .He turned around and left, but Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin in the Underworld didn't know he had been here, and the topic changed from the peach blossom incident just now to wind chimes and black shadows.

Xu Qin poured tea for Yu Chijiong, poured himself a cup, and asked, "What is Yangming Villa?"

Yuchi slacked his shoulders, and replied indifferently: "The department in charge of entry and exit in the demon world. The one on our side is called Mingzhongsuo, and the one on theirs is called Yangming Villa. They think they are very romantic and vulgar. the name."

Xu Qin memorized the name silently, and just when he was about to ask again, Yu Chijiong drank the whole cup of tea in one go, and put it on the table with a bang: "Is that stinky Qian Jiguang absent from work again today? He's too courageous." Now, the application does not need to be approved!"

Seeing that Yu Chijiong was a little angry, Xu Qin immediately returned to his seat, with an expression of "I'm very good and now I'm starting to work".

Yuchi Jiong: ...

He calculated the time, lowered his head, that's all, he got rid of the most important things first, and Qian Jiguang just put them away.

The two wrote in silence, and there was a harmonious atmosphere for a while, until Xu Qin raised his head cautiously, and tentatively said: "Yuchi Qianhu, I don't understand something, can you..."

Yu Chijiong smiled wryly, and interrupted Xu Qin, "Xu Qin, do you need to be so afraid? Ask, what's the matter?"

Xu Qin thought to himself that you don't even know the horror of throwing a cup. Sometimes when his adoptive father got angry, the cup fell and the evil wind blew up, and the whole room disappeared like this. You put the cup like this, especially for people like you who deal with monsters. God knows what will pop up, so hurry up and dodge.Of course, Xu Qin will not say these things, he took three or five applications bluntly, put them on Yuchijiong's desk, and said: "I found out that the handwriting of this document is from the same person, and the following There is a red seal, which seems to be Yangming Mountain Villa."

Yu Chijiong praised: "That's right, He Tong forgot to tell you, you actually found out by yourself. Go to the side and find a copy of Strange News. Don't take it wrong. It's the latest one. Let me tell you what it is. .”

Xu Qin obediently went to the study to find the record of strange news, but there was a thick one near the door. Although the pages were yellowed, the curls were not flat. It can be seen that it was turned into a book after being turned over a lot. This way.Yu Chijiong explained to Xu Qin: "Some monsters have no sense of mind. At this time, the literati and refined scholars of Yangming Villa will apply for them. Usually these are not applications, but to inform us of any monsters that will come."

Xu Qin asked curiously, "Why do you want us to approve if you are sane?"

Yuchi Jiong sighed, and said: "Because there are no sanity, most of them are gods and beasts, and even the harbingers of disasters in the human world. We can't stop them from coming."

He deftly opened the anecdote, turned to a page, and pointed to the words on it for Xu Qin to read: "Last February, there was a severe drought in Liaozhou. You see, as early as January, "颙" had already come. .”

"Yong?"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas says that its shape is like an owl, its human face has four eyes and ears, its name is 颙, and its sound is its own name. Seeing it is a severe drought in the world." Seeing Xu Qin's expression of not understanding, Yuchi said, To explain the words simply, "Yong looks like an owl from a distance, but it has a human face, four eyes and ears, so it calls "颙 颙 颙 颙", hence the name Yong. Its appearance implies that there is Drought happened."

Xu Qin showed a look of half-understanding.

"You haven't heard of it, have you? There is a book of mountains and seas in the fire cabinet. Go and memorize it. You don't need to blurt it out, but at least you have to memorize it by heart." Yu Chijiong pointed to the cabinet, and brought the topic back to those applications. "So what we have to do is to copy it down, and these things are handed over to the national teacher."

"National Division?"

"Yes, it's him." Yu Chijiong carefully scanned the applications, "Just like that 颙, even if it comes, we only know that there will be a severe drought, but we don't know the date, so we need the national teacher to calculate where there will be a disaster. , to prepare early. Hey, this time there is Zhu Yan, there is a war."

Sun Lie's cynical look appeared in Xu Qin's mind, and he couldn't believe it, "The national teacher is so powerful?"

Yu Chijiong glanced at Xu Qin, "He is very good at this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in this position. However, the so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters, no matter how accurate the national teacher's calculations, the officials will always have a way to make things difficult, so even if you prepare hard No matter how good it is, it cannot reduce the harm of the disaster to the people.”

Hearing this, Xu Qin was filled with displeasure, "But... isn't the national teacher accurate? Some officials believe him?" Don't those people care about the number of human lives buried in a natural disaster?

"Let me teach you a word, if you are not of my race, your heart must be different." Yu Chijiong comforted: "This is Daliang's officialdom, learn from Xu Qin, don't get involved, especially those of us who deal with monsters, They are not worthy even to carry shoes.”

"I... can't understand."

"So this is the reason why the national teacher chose the sons of Beijing officials to enter the underworld. It will take a while to change their inherent thinking." Yu Chijiu smiled lightly, and the smile was full of vicissitudes, "Don't talk about them, even the common people have this attitude. Otherwise, it would be good if the Underworld was built in Shuntian Mansion, so how can it be used here? Xu Qin, in recent years, there have indeed been more people like you who have seen monsters everywhere, but when it comes to changing everyone's minds, it takes a long, long time. For a long time, maybe next year, maybe thousands of years later, what we can do now is to arrest those officials who refuse to work.”

Xu Qin lowered his eyes, he felt uncomfortable hearing this now, what about Yu Chijiong?How many years has he been here, not only have he heard and even witnessed that group of officials again and again, in the name of being noble, refusing to "collaborate" with demons?

"Now the national division's calculations go straight to the imperial court. Only the cabinet knows the truth. Other officials think that the celestial phenomena are different. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, right?" Yu Chijiong patted Xu Qin on the shoulder, "First put these We have copied something, we will wait here for news from Shuntian Mansion, after you copy it, take it to Meng Yingming.”

Xu Qin thought for a while, there was nothing he could do right now, and there was only these things he could do well, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Xu Qin's cuteness, Yu Chijiong couldn't help but reached out and touched his head, "I really found such a younger brother."

Xu Qin was stunned, the ridicule of the embroidered clothes in the morning was automatically played back in his mind, his face blushed, he took those applications and anecdotal records, and retreated to his position like an arrow.

The soft touch in his hand has not dissipated yet, Yu Chijiong withdrew his hand with a broken smile, thought for a while but couldn't help but said: "Now there is no one else, why are you hiding?"

Xu Qin lowered his head, pretending to be obsessed with work, and refused to respond.

After the unitary hour, the Shuntian Mansion had already sent the documents. Obviously Meng Yingming had invited the people back and they had already given in. They didn't expect that their work speed would be further improved if they got involved with the University Scholars.

"How come almost everyone has a line of medical records... Did Yuchi Qianhu ask them to add it yesterday?" Xu Qin also read it together, and soon saw the difference.

"I just told them that Yuanwailang's incurable disease was cured, and it seems that Shuntian Mansion is also smart." Yu Chijiong nodded, "This thing is pretty good, if it wasn't for the good record of the work, we would be here now I can't see so many...about forty?"

"It's 42, including Yuanwailang, it's 43." Xu Qin corrected.

"43 lives, there may be more if they missed it... What kind of death is this - a long cough did not heal, but fell to the ground and died? Look at what is written here: "There is no hiding or rubbing Scars, no blood from the mouth, eyes, ears, and nose, only a red mark around the neck, the corpse's flesh was softened with charcoal fire, green onions, peppers, peppers, and white plums were used as pancakes, and paper was spread on the corpse. I took it out of bad cakes, but there was no trace of damage'... This is because the cause of death is unknown, and the Shuntian Mansion wanted to find a reason to stop the other person’s mouth, those people were guilty and thought about it hastily, but they hit it off with the Shuntian Mansion.”

Yu Chijiong casually flipped through a page, and already saw something was wrong.

The author has something to say:

The post-mortem report is based on the "Winning Injustice Collection", plus my own bragging
