I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

"Use your usual method."

A big question mark hung on Cheng County Magistrate's head: "What way?"

Heishan's cold voice came faintly: "Talk to him."

Cheng Jin: ... Subtly feel a little offended to .jpg.

However, Heilulu, who was reasoning with the big frog, felt even more curious: "What kind of reasoning are you talking about? Do you tell him etiquette, righteousness and shame, or is it that the twisted melon is not sweet?"

"No." Hei Shan glanced at Cheng Yi'an with subtle eyes, and then said, "I told him that you have a younger brother who is very good at cooking, and he has become a fine frog. After washing his scriptures and changing his marrow, eating it can nourish and detoxify. The effect of prolonging life, if he doesn't say it, I will beat it to death and hand it over to mortals."

...you can't kill a frog without nodding your head to the ground.

The county magistrate Cheng felt that his reputation had been victimized: "Master, is this official so cruel?"

Montenegro smiled without saying a word.

"Well, he's so resigned so quickly. In fact, the bullfrog in a dry pot is delicious. Have you ever eaten it, master?" Cheng County magistrate touched his digested stomach and made a regretful sound.

Montenegro has no intention of discussing food with others, so he just frowned and pulled the topic back: "This old frog is older than I imagined. It is an old and refined thing, and it has the ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, so it only lived 560 years ago. come down."

Cheng Jin was in high spirits, and put the cold Xiaoshi tea on the table, and sat down at a nearby place: "Then what does he know?"

560 years ago, Liuxian was the most famous wild god in the Taohua River area. He was loved by the people and would satisfy the people's requests one by one.

But the good times didn't last long. Liuxian fell in love with a mortal woman, but was not favored by the world, and eventually turned into a later tragedy.And the person who promoted this tragedy was Liuxian's former friend Qingheng.

According to the family history records left by the Xue family, Liuxian collapsed under the catastrophe of heaven, the Taohua River was stained with blood, and the water and grass were flooded. The people regretted it, but Liuxian was already full of hatred for the world at that time. It was also Qing Heng who came out to quell the disaster.But then, for unknown reasons, Qing Heng suddenly disappeared.

Heilulu once went to the Taohua River to investigate, where there are lush water plants, rich vegetation, and auspicious mountains and rivers. It should be a place of protection for monsters, but the strange thing is that there are no old monsters in the Taohuajiang area.Even newborn monsters have very poor mana, and most of them are still cultivating in the mountains and forests, ignorant of world affairs.

Cheng Jin was naturally excited to finally catch one.

"This old frog said that 560 years ago, he left the Taohuajiang area early because of the imminent disaster in his heart. I asked him if he knew the cause of Liuxian's death. Guess what he said?"

Hei Lulu has really learned badly, and has learned to play tricks: "What did he say? Don't tease me."

How famous Liu Xian was back then, all the monsters near the Taohua River have heard of his reputation.The old frog was still young, but he watched the willow fairy being enshrined by the people. Now that he has returned to the Taohua River as a wild god, he actually has the meaning of imitating the willow fairy.

It's a pity that his morality is so low that even his married daughter can only be forced to force others. Now that he is arrested and threatened to stew himself in an iron pot, he can only tell what he knows.

"He said he heard it. I'm afraid Liu Xian's death was widely spread."

Cheng Jin propped his chin and said: "It's not surprising. It wasn't now. The wild gods should be very common among the people. Liu Xian is still so effective. It's not enough to spread it widely. This makes sense. What happened after that?" ?”

"My lord also asked. The old frog said that he heard that Liu Xian died in response to a catastrophe, or that he died with resentment. He originally wanted to go back to the village of Zuo Nie, but before he could go back, he heard that someone had made a name for himself."

Cheng Jin showed a playful smile: "He also knows about Qingheng's existence?"

"I know, and he has seen Qing Heng." Hei Shan clenched his hands, "Now I finally know the origin of this evil debt."

Wow, this old frog is quite capable of hunting, and this is the only existence that can escape Qing Heng's schemes for a long time.

"No, you said that your injustice is not left by the villagers in Chen Li's village?" Cheng Jin had already recalled that illusion N times, and asked himself that he would not remember it wrong.

When Heishan heard the words, he really sneered: "That's just a very small part. The injustice that really weighs on me and cannot be healed over the years comes from Yu Qingheng's large-scale massacre of the Taohuajiang area."

"What? But the history books in that area have not been dated, and there is no place where resentful souls have condensed... No, 560 was the eve of the founding of the previous dynasty. At that time, there were frequent wars. It’s not impossible. Especially if all the injustices have been carried on by you, the Taoist sect will not notice.” But the history of the human world is so deceptive, what about the underworld?

Liu Xian once said that he had met the old abbot of Mingquan Temple in the underworld, but soon the abbot was wiped out because of the Buddha's light.This ghost has already gone to the underworld, and he still has enough energy to see Liu Xian to confess his last words. There is no reason why the judge can't keep it?

Is it really impossible to stay, or...do not want to stay?

The old abbot worked so hard to escape from Qing Heng's hand and went to the underworld. Instead of going to the judge for help, he went to see Liu Xian. Did he really just tell Liu Xian about Mingquan Temple being destroyed by Qing Heng? ?Or is it that you can't ask the judge for help because you know there is no benefit to asking the judge for help?

At that time, Liu Xian was ruled by the underworld, and he couldn't protect himself. Did the old abbot find a familiar demon to complain about his unscrupulous disciples before he died?No matter how you think about it, it is unreasonable.

If before this, Cheng Jin only felt that Liu Xian was hiding something vaguely and would not speak until he saw Qing Heng, then now, he was absolutely sure that Liu Xian was hiding something.

"According to Liu Xian's description, Qing Heng should have been around 25 or [-] years old at that time. Based on his age, the veteran Daoist I met in Montenegro was Qing Heng."

Cheng Jin understood Hei Lulu's meaning: "You mean, he was still intact back then, and didn't split his soul?"

Qing Heng in his 20s is still a refined and gentle Buddhist saint. What made him plot against his friends and slaughter all living beings?In the next few decades, what happened to him that he would turn from Buddha and plot against the divine beast Tianlu to kill himself?Even at the expense of planning for 500 years.

And in the past 500 years, he has done crazy things. He calculated and destroyed a dynasty as big as the previous dynasty. Relying on the demon concubine, he even got the royal luck of the previous dynasty, but what exactly is he going to do?

I always feel that step by step, although Qingheng is trying to save people's hearts, it seems that he is trying something at every step.

Cheng Jin has never seen the real Qing Heng, so it is difficult to deduce anything based on the current information.

"No, although my mana was not strong at the beginning, but the beast has a keen sense of the soul. His soul was solid at that time, and there was absolutely no damage."

Cheng Jin suddenly asked a question: "Are you sure he is human?"

Montenegro was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's a person."

"Then let's go back to the simplest question. Since he is a human being, how did he manage to live so long?"That's why he split his soul inexplicably?

It would sound a little too crazy if you keep taking homes all the time.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested either. Although this old frog knows a little, he doesn't know much." There is obviously a layer of low air pressure around Heishan.

Cheng Jin saw it, and wanted to liven up the atmosphere: "What about the old frog, what did you do with it? The iron pot was stewed?"

"Put it under the restriction and throw it near Xue's house, and deal with it when you have time."

...it's kind of sappy, but well done and makes you spit mucus on him—

Cheng Jin stood up abruptly: "No, the posture of the frog yesterday was clearly aimed at killing me! You said that you lured him with the resentment of Shuimangcao. Does he have a grudge against Liu Xian?"

Heishan's eyes sharpened instantly: "I'm going to catch him back!"

"No, don't send Tangxi here, send it to the underworld to meet Liuxian." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he quickly retorted, "It's not good, it's too hasty, since this old frog has matured, he dares to do so." Tell a big lie, let's just push the boat along and see what he will do in the future, how about it?"

"Yes." Heishan nodded, and said, "I will quietly follow the restriction on him."

"Secret? If he will be found out, it's okay to stay. If he really has nothing to do with Liu Xian, or the hatred is not deep, I'm afraid he will just run away without a trace. Otherwise, he will definitely do something to come out."

Hei Shan said he understood, he was about to leave when Cheng Yi'an called him back.

"Anything else?"

In fact, Cheng Jin just stopped the demon subconsciously. How should I put it, he was hesitating whether to tell Hei Lulu what he thought in his heart.

"If you have a guess in your heart, and you don't know if it's reliable, will you tell me?"

Montenegro fell silent, with an expression of what did you say.

Cheng Jin immediately raised his hand, with a look of surrender: "Well, I just have a little guess in my heart."

Hei Shan turned around, with a sharp look on his face, Cheng Yi'an would never aim indiscriminately, and the next words might change some of his thoughts: "What guess?"

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, almost covering Cheng Jin's voice, but even so, the demon with outstanding hearing could still hear clearly:

"Master, I don't know if you feel this way. I don't know how to describe it, but if I have to describe it in words, I always feel that Liu Xian doesn't hate Qing Heng as much as he shows."

This is why Cheng Jin has always suspected that Liu Xian still has something to hide from them.

"Why do you think so?" Montenegro's brows frowned deeper and deeper.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the pavilion, Cheng Jin felt a little chilly in his heart: "Intuition, do you still remember how Liu Xian described Qing Heng to us? He said that Qing Heng is his best friend, and it is rare in Buddhism for a hundred years." A genius, humble and elegant, not like a man in the world of mortals."

"If you were calculated by me like this, would you still use such beautiful words to describe me?"
