Strange Records of Xijing

"Come here, it's him."

In the river, two water ghosts gathered together, chattering and looking at Su Yan on the river bank.

Su Yan ignored them, but squatted down, and patted the ground with his right hand three times.Accompanied by Su Yan's movements, ripples suddenly appeared on a certain part of the river surface, and something emerged from a corner of the water, and quickly flew towards Su Yan's direction.Not far from Su Yan, this thing broke out of the water, and the water droplets brought up reflected the morning sun into colorful rays of light. The two water ghosts under the water were stimulated by the sunlight, and hurriedly swam deeper.

Su Yan stretched out his hand to catch it, it was the bronze mirror he handed to Tian Qi yesterday.He pressed the protruding end of the bronze mirror with one hand, silently recited two incantations, and then pressed it hard, and a black frog popped out from the mirror.

Tian Qi has been hiding in the mirror, he can't see the situation outside, he is frightened and frightened, his sense of time is greatly weakened when he is panicked, and he doesn't even know what time it is outside.

At this moment, he was sucked out of the mirror by a strong suction force, and he was panicking. After seeing Su Yan's face clearly, he let go of a big stone in his heart, but tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Su Daochang, so, so..." Tian Qi couldn't speak for a while, choked up for a while, then wiped his face, and continued, "Last night, there were, there were two fisherman-like people Come here and catch all the fish spirits."

"Fisherman?" Su Yan didn't believe it. Although the three fish spirits were not very skilled, how could they not be able to escape from the hands of ordinary fishermen since they had cultivated their demon bodies?

He put Tian Qi down, but because Tian Qi was so frightened, he turned around and hugged Su Yan's foot immediately after landing, and refused to leave no matter what.Su Yan didn't care either, he brushed the mirror with one hand, and uttered a few strange syllables, afterward, some pictures appeared on the mirror.

Tian Qi leaned over curiously, and after a while exclaimed: "It's us!"

On the mirror, it is the scene of Tian Qi bickering with the three fish spirits.

Tian Qi quickly remembered: "It happened last night. A certain person couldn't sleep last night, so he chatted with them in the river."

"Well, keep watching." Su Yan patted Tian Qi on the head, signaling him to be quiet.

The picture continued to flow, and suddenly, the scene in the mirror began to shake for a while, and then some black and green stripes appeared in the mirror.

"It was someone who took a mirror and got into the aquatic plants." Tian Qi learned his lesson and explained to Su Yan in a low voice.

Su Yan asked Tian Qi: "When did those fishermen appear?"

"Hurry up," Tian Qi became even more frightened, and hugged Su Yan's ankle tightly, "It didn't take long for a certain person to get into the aquatic plants, and the mirror lit up."

As Tian Qi said, the scene in the mirror changed quickly, and through the aquatic plants and the river water, a small boat could be seen coming on the river.There were two fishermen on the boat, each with a harpoon in their hands, one of them took out a bottle first, poured some black worms out of it, and threw it into the water.

After these insects fell into the water, they immediately changed from black to white, and finally their entire bodies became transparent, almost merging with the surrounding river water.If it weren't for the bronze mirror to capture this scene, I'm afraid no one or demon would have noticed this at all.

These bugs quickly rushed to the three fish spirits. At this time, Tian Qi had already sensed the danger and jumped into the bronze mirror first.After Tian Qi's body disappeared from the mirror, the bodies of those transparent bugs in the picture had grown several times, and the fish essence was wrapped in it.The fish spirits sensed something was wrong, but they didn't find this kind of bug, but tried to break through this invisible obstacle with their bodies.But it was obviously in vain, because soon, two fishermen on board picked up their harpoons and caught all three fish spirits.

After stuffing the three fish spirits into the fish basket, the fishermen did not continue to search the vicinity, but put away their harpoons and left with the boat, Tian Qi also escaped unharmed.

Tian Qi had already forgotten his fear at this moment, he walked towards the bronze mirror unconsciously, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but was discovered by Su Yan, who quickly stopped him.

Su Yan grabbed Tian Qi's two strong hind legs and put him beside him: "Be careful, this bronze mirror cannot be touched casually."

Tian Qi nodded, and asked curiously: "Daozhang Su, why can someone hide in the bronze mirror last night, but can't touch it now?"

"Yesterday I specially set a spell so that you can go in." Su Yan put away the bronze mirror and got up, "Mirrors are used to straighten clothes. Ge Hong once wrote a sentence called 'Only you can't change the truth in the mirror. No matter how powerful the monster is, it can't hide the real body in the mirror. Last night, there was my spell on the bronze mirror, so you won't get hurt."

Tian Qi nodded, he turned into a monster inexplicably, the specific experience has long been forgotten, there is no other senior monster to teach him, he can only wander all the way, and finally settle on this river embankment.

The feng shui here is mediocre, the big monsters look down on them, and the little monsters eat, drink and play all day to pass the time, and they don't plan to practice hard at all-of course, they don't know how to practice.Tian Qi grew up in such an environment, it is conceivable that he did not understand what Su Yan said.

"Su Daochang, where are we going now?"

Su Yan untied the cloth bag hanging from his waist: "You hide in first, let's go to Xijing."

"Go to Xijing?" Tian Qi got into the cloth bag obediently, and the voice came out from the cloth bag muffled, "Are those two fishermen in Xijing?"

"I don't know." Su Yan replied truthfully, "I need you to do me a favor after entering Xijing. Whether I can find the fisherman or not depends on you."

When he heard that Su Yan was going to Xijing to find the whereabouts of the two fishermen, Tian Qi immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't hesitate to ask Daoist Su, I will do my best."

Su Yan returned to Taixuan Temple, asked Xiaodaotong for a secluded place, and asked him to guard the door far away so that no one would come in by mistake.

This is the first time Tian Qi has been in a Taoist temple. Although a little monster like him is not deep in Taoism, he is naturally alert.Taixuan Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Xijing, and there are dozens of Taoist priests in it. The righteousness of Tiangang for many years made a little monster like Tian Qi tremble, and he almost fell on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Don't be afraid." Su Yan patted Tian Qi and asked, "You came to find me, did you ask the sparrow demon in Xijing?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Tian Qi replied, trembling at the same time, and he couldn't speak fluently.

Seeing him like this, Su Yan sighed inwardly, and opened the cloth bag: "Forget it, let's change places."

As soon as his words fell to the ground, Tian Qi got into the cloth bag with a swish, and refused to come out after saying anything.

Su Yan shook his head helplessly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.He found a few pine nut candies and stuffed them to the little Taoist boy, as a thank you gift from the little Taoist boy for helping him.

Leaving Taixuan Guan, when Su Yan was hesitating where to go, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes from the left.He turned his head to look, and saw a gorgeous carriage driving towards this side at a fast speed. The driver was waving his whip and shouting loudly. If any pedestrians on the side of the road could not dodge in time, they would be whipped by the whip.

At this moment, a child who was playing with a bamboo ball on the street seemed to have been frightened, and stood there blankly, not knowing how to avoid it.

The coachman clearly saw the child, but he didn't let the carriage stop, and cursed: "Where did you come from, you dare to stand in the way of Duke Niu!"

As soon as these words came out, the passers-by who were watching all gasped and talked a lot, but they didn't dare to go forward.

Su Yan stepped forward suddenly at this time, he grabbed the child's shoulder with one hand, and with a little force, he brought the frightened child into his arms.Then, he turned sideways and threw the child to a passerby next to him.

After doing all this, the carriage was about to hit Su Yan, but the four horses driving the carriage neighed together, and the carriage suddenly turned sideways.

The coachman immediately jumped out of the carriage to save his life. One of the four horses was carried by the carriage, and then fell down and hit the carriage.

A man's cries of pain came from the carriage, as well as a child's cries.The coachman just woke up like a dream, and quickly grabbed the horse's reins, pulled the horse up, and kicked the horse's buttocks hard.

The horse suffered from pain, but did not dare to resist, and just kept spinning around in place.

The coachman quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, leaned in, and pulled out a young man dressed as a son.

Su Yan quickly recognized the identity of this person, it was Niu Chunhui who had provoked Pei Jingxing twice in a row.

Niu Chunhui did not bully the market once or twice. Some of the passersby recognized him and whispered to his friend next to him, "It's Niu Guogong's grandson, tsk tsk. carriage, don’t shake him to death.”

"Niu Guogong's grandson? You can't afford to provoke him."

"Hurry up, hurry up, Niu Guogong is just such a grandson, if he finds us, then we won't be able to clean up even if we jump into the Yellow River."

"Hey, if you want me to say it, you deserve it!"

"Did you hear that there are still children crying inside? When did Duke Niu have a great-grandson?"

"Maybe he was born somewhere. Let's go, let's go quickly. We can't afford to mess with this person."

A lot of onlookers left, but more came up.Niu Chunhui was supported by the coachman and kept crying out for pain, but when he glanced at Su Yan from the corner of his eye, he stopped crying all of a sudden.

"My lord, let's meet again."

Niu Chunhui fell into the carriage so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he deliberately put on the pose of a rich man, which really made people laugh.

Su Yan ignored him, but quickly walked to the overturned carriage, leaned in, and took out a crying child from the carriage.

This child was only four or five years old, and looked thinner than the child Su Yan had just rescued. There were several red and swollen patches on his cheeks, which didn't look like they were knocked out, but more like they were beaten.

Su Yan carried the child out, only to find that the child's hands were tied behind his back, and there was a deep bruise at the corners of the mouth on both sides, which was obviously tied up with cloth strips.

"Ah Fu!" Just as Su Yan was at a loss for what to do with the crying child, there was a sudden shout from outside the crowd. A middle-aged woman squeezed into the crowd, and when she saw the child in the hands of a passerby, she jumped at it. past.

"Ah Fu, how are you? Are you injured?" The woman snatched the child, held the child in her arms, and groped up and down for a while.

The child named Ah Fu finally came to his senses at this moment, cried out with a wow, hugged the middle-aged woman and kept calling "Mom".

Ah Fu was crying over there, and the child in Su Yan's arms was crying more and more fiercely.There were cries one after another, one cry higher than the other.

Seeing Su Yan holding the child stiffly, the kind-hearted woman hurried forward, took the child from Su Yan's hands, and held it in her arms to comfort her.The woman also noticed the child's injury, and said vigilantly, "This child should not belong to him."

When the woman said "he", she looked at Niu Chunhui who was at the side, Su Yan followed the trend and turned her head to look, and frowned when she saw who was coming.

"What are you talking nonsense, you country woman!" Hearing what the woman said, the driver supported Niu Chunhui and cursed, "Why doesn't this child belong to our Duke Niu?"

"Niu Guogong?" The woman was frightened and dared not speak out while holding the child.

Su Yan couldn't see it, and said: "I heard that Niu Guogong is over half a hundred years old, this young man is young, when did he become Niu Guogong?"

The coachman raised his brows and wanted to yell, but was stopped by Niu Chunhui.He pushed the driver, cupped his hands towards Su Yan and said, "Young Master, I am the grandson of Duke Niu, and also the future Duke of Niu. I have a predestined relationship with you. In this huge Xijing, I have met you for the third time. Ask your son's name."

Su Yan didn't even bother to look at him: "I've seen you?"

Niu Chunhui's smiling face froze, and a surge of anger rushed up in his heart.Considering that he is the only grandson of Duke Niu and the next Duke of Niu who is certain, just because of his status, there are countless men and women who come forward and recommend themselves as pillows.Now Su Yan rejected it with only four words, making it clear that he would not give Niu Chunhui face.

However, roses always have thorns. I am used to those ordinary people who cater to me. Now that a beauty with a different style comes here, it can be regarded as a change of taste.Besides, this trick of refusal and welcome, once you get the person, you can get it back with profit.

Thinking of this, Niu Chunhui became angry again, and said with a smile, "Then today we are acquaintances. My surname is Niu, and my name is Chunhui. May I ask your surname?"

Su Yan simply ignored him this time, turned around and took the child who had stopped crying from the woman's arms, and asked, "Where is your home?"

The child was too young to answer the question, so he just said: "My house has tall trees and many big tanks filled with colorful water."

"The child is talking about the dyeing workshop." The woman said to Su Yan, "His family should run a dyeing workshop, or be near the dyeing workshop."

"Thank you." Su Yan thanked the woman, then walked out of the crowd with the child in her arms.

Niu Chunhui felt ashamed when he touched his nose, and was out of breath.It's just that he knows that this is not a good time to settle accounts with Su Yan, and that child is the key.

He hurried forward and reached out to grab Su Yan's shoulder: "My lord, this child is my friend's son. My friend has something to go out and asked me to take it with me for a few days. Please return this child to me."

Su Yan seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and when he dodged to the side, Niu Chunhui's hand was missing.

"Your friend's son?" Su Yan didn't believe it, he lowered his head and asked the child in his arms, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know." The child replied softly, "He is a bad person. He said he would give me candy, and he tied me up and didn't let me speak!"

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers were in an uproar, and they looked at Niu Chunhui in the wrong way.

"Tsk tsk, Duke Niu's grandson actually did such a thing."

"It's a good thing he has the face to talk about child abduction and trafficking."

"Didn't you see that someone lied, talking about a friend's son. Hey, tell me, what does he want to do by tying this child back?"

"Tsk tsk, it takes a human face and a beast's heart to attack a child."

"My God, Niu Guogong's grandson actually abducted children. By the way, have you heard that several children and girls have disappeared during this period, he must have done it too, right?"

"What are you talking about!" These words fell into Niu Chunhui's ears, his face turned blue and red, he yelled at the passers-by who were watching, then turned around and slapped the driver.

"How do you drive!"

The coachman said in distress: "Master, I don't know what's going on, the carriage seemed to hit something and suddenly fell down."

Niu Chunhui went to look at the place where the carriage fell. Su Yan's hands and feet had long since disappeared, so how could he see what was going on?

Niu Chunhui suffered for no reason, so he slapped the coachman several times and cursed: "Then what are you going to do now, tell me to go back?"

The coachman hurriedly said: "Master, there is a restaurant nearby, you go and sit there for a while, and I will call you a car."

Niu Chunhui was ashamed to stay here any longer, snorted, and asked the driver to lead him to the restaurant.

Although everyone suspected Niu Chunhui of abducting children, they did not dare to offend Niu Guogong, so they had to watch Niu Chunhui leave.

Su Yan patted the back of the child in his arms, comforting him: "I'll take you home."
