old grace

Xie Qinghe was recovering from his wounds in Xun City, and Fu Chuan was serving him by the couch, so his life was quite peaceful.

After another three or five days, Yun Chao, who had returned to Hanshan to report the news, arrived in a leisurely manner.Knowing that Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan like to live their lives behind closed doors, he intentionally lingered on the mountain for a few days, almost arousing Shangguan Shiyi's surprise, before rushing to Xuncheng leisurely.

Yun Chao has a unique way of contacting Xie Qinghe, no matter where Xie Qinghe goes, Yun Chao can find his master.

Before touching the small courtyard, Yun Chao still remembered going to the cobbler to get the tanned fox skin, carrying the cooked food bought on the street and two jugs of rice wine in his hand, and wandered to the small courtyard.

Fu Chuan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, when he saw this, he put away his gun and went to look at the food box that Yun Chao was carrying: "What did you buy?"

"The meat I ate last time. There are two more fat ducks." Yun Chao gave him the food box, "I'll warm the wine first."

"Eldest brother is drinking tea. Let me go." Fu Chuan put the Muhe gun at the door, took the wine jar, and urged Yun Chao to greet Xie Qinghe, "Brother, please answer the elder brother first."

Yun Chao gave him all the things, lifted the curtain and entered the door.

Sure enough, Xie Qinghe was sitting on the couch drinking tea, when he heard Yun Chao coming in, he rewashed a teacup, and was pouring tea for Yun Chao: "Come and sit."

Yun Chao agreed, bowed his knees, and sat down opposite him. After thanking him for the tea, he held a cup and didn't rush to drink, and asked first, "Master, are you feeling better?"

"Okay. Don't worry. What did Master say?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"Shangguan Daoist said that the ins and outs of this matter have to wait for the master to return to the mountain before asking about it. He has only a half-knowledge, so it is not easy to ask. However, it depends on the circumstances of the master's return to the mountain. There is an old man sitting on the mountain, so the master and the young master don't have to worry about it. Yun Chao fumbled in his bosom, took out seven or eight medicine bottles, and set up a tea table in a daze, "These are all wound medicines brought to the master by the servants of the real Shangguan."

"I said, don't tell Master, I'm injured." Xie Qinghe looked at the medicine bottles and put them away one by one.

It was only at this time that Yun Chao was free to take a sip of tea, and explained: "The servant didn't say anything. The real Shangguan didn't know that the master was injured by lightning. He thought that the real Shangguan didn't have anything to reward, so he randomly grabbed a piece of paper from the cabinet. Right, just opened the medicine cabinet."

Xie Qinghe was also speechless.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yun Chao put the cup down, stood up and picked up Ah Shou who was in the nest: "Why is she still sleeping?"

Seeing the sleepy A Shou, Xie Qinghe felt even worse.

This little thing was put into a small den by Fu Chuan, and it was placed next to the couch, its breathing was so shallow that it almost didn't exist.

Xie Qinghe woke up after sitting in prison for two days, exhausted after the injury, and completely forgot about her existence.So, that day, he and Fu Chuan quarreled in this main room, took off his clothes and let Fu Chuan wipe him, and even quarreled with Fu Chuan...all kinds of private matters were done by Ah Shou's side.

Now he only hopes that Ah Shou will be completely unconscious in a coma, otherwise, he may never see each other again in the future.

Not long after, Fu Chuan cut up the cooked food brought by Yun Chao and put them on plates, brought them out one by one, and asked Xie Qinghe: "Brother Yun Chao brought two pots of rice wine, which are almost warm, can senior brother drink it?"

Rice wine promotes blood circulation and nourishes the body. For symptoms like Xie Qinghe, drinking some of it will be beneficial.Yun Chao is not buying blindly.

However, Fu Chuan still asked one more question cautiously.

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Scoop a bowl, boil it hot, and burn it to get rid of the smell of alcohol."

Fu Chuan immediately went to Zhang Luo: "Hey."

Soon the hot rice wine was on the table, with the meat and roast duck brought back by Yunchao, and Fuchuan stewed the noodles with the leftover fish soup at noon, boiled it in a steaming pot, sprinkled with shallots Coriander, the aroma hits the face.

Xie Qinghe was still injured and had no appetite, so Fu Chuan picked out a small bowl of noodles for him, and he ate a few mouthfuls.

On the contrary, the boiled rice wine lost its smell, and Xie Qinghe took it as a refreshing hot soup, and drank a bowl slowly.No matter how good the rice wine was, it was wine after all, and Fu Chuan didn't dare to persuade him to drink more.I asked twice: "Is the fish noodle soup not to your liking? What would you like to eat? I will make it right away."

"It suits your appetite, it's delicious." Xie Qinghe picked up the chopsticks and ate another half bowl of noodles.

Seeing that Xie Qinghe finally ate something, Fu Chuancai concentrated on the plate in front of him and began to gnaw on the meat that Yun Chao brought back. He couldn't help frowning: "Why is the meat bought in the afternoon not as tasty as the meat bought in the morning?"

Yun Chao explained: "The meat is boiled in the afternoon, soaked in the soup overnight, and it can be cooked in the morning when it is heated up."

Fu Chuan nodded, but he was very considerate of the peddler's cleverness in saving firewood, and he was no longer picky.

Seeing that Xie Qinghe had finished his meal, Yun Chao stood up and brought water to serve Xie Qinghe to rinse his mouth, and began to chat: "Just now I sat at the meat stall for a while, and heard a few gossips. It is said that it was the table where I almost got into a fight with the young master that day. Guests, these few days have been waiting in twos and threes at the stall, saying that they want to see the master again and thank you face to face."

Xie Qinghe gulped and rinsed his mouth, but did not speak.

"They thought that the owner was a family member of a high-ranking official who was visiting privately in Weifu, and even sent a red envelope to the peddler who sold the meat, asking him to help pay attention."

"When the servant passed by, the guests at that table happened to be away. The stall owner and the servant talked about it. After the death of the fox and Gao Sheng, the 'servants' who had been harmed by the fox's magic all ran back, and everyone was busy rehabilitating the family. Ye. Two days ago, the prefect of Tongling came in person and dismissed the magistrate of Xiancheng and sent him to prison, so the people at that table were even more anxious to find the owner."

"I think this group of people is full of utilitarianism and not sincere in finding them, so I push the peddler back and forth, saying that I don't know."

Yun Chao has a golden leaf friendship with the meat vendor. No matter how many red envelopes Zheng Qi and others give, how can they compare with the golden leaf?

Besides, Yun Chao is not stingy.He told the vendor not to reveal his whereabouts, and he grabbed the money bag indiscriminately, and seven or eight gold leaves fell into the money box of the butcher vendor.

Both Xie Qinghe and Fu Rumoran raised their heads.

The prefect of Tongling is Miss Yu's father, and her daughter was harmed by demons and married into an inhumane marriage. It is not unusual for Yu Gong to come to Xian City in person.However, he suddenly came to dismiss Xian Chengling and put him in prison, so it was impossible for him to simply feel sorry for his daughter.

Yun Chao has always had rules for handling affairs, he continued: "I will stop by Xuncheng County for a visit."

"I met the governor of Tongling County, Longlin Guard, in the county office. This person is Xu Jing, and I don't know him. However, there was a baby-faced man in a Taoist robe who came to Xun with Governor Xu. More than ten years ago, the servant When I went to Hanshan to deliver a letter, I passed by Anshao and met him face to face."

Hearing this description, Fu Chuan burst out laughing: "Brother is tight-lipped. The face-to-face confrontation with the secret sentry at the outer door has never been mentioned before?" He still remembers Yun Chao's straight up and down "Crossing the Mountain" method .If it wasn't for the big brother's face-saving, and the master blindly protecting his weaknesses, Yun Chao would have been sacked by the disciples of the outer sect long ago.

Yun Chao blushed and pretended not to hear.

"Li Nanfeng brought a group of people to Longcheng when he left the mountain. It seems that he scattered all his people to the Dragon Scale Guards." Xie Qinghe put down the cup for rinsing his mouth, Yun Chao hurriedly handed over the towel, and he He took it and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, "It's late at night, there must be no business busy, Yun Chao will make another trip and call someone—don't disturb the officials, just send the disciples you've seen call."

Yun Chao agreed and went out immediately.

Fu Ruanyan hurriedly ate meat, not wanting his disciples to see him eating in a mess.

Xie Qinghe couldn't help coaxing: "You eat slowly. Why should your own disciples see others? The head disciples don't eat anymore?"

"The outer sect disciples who met Brother Yunchao face to face must be quite senior. They are the ones that Senior Brother Nanfeng brought to Longcheng." A group of disciples lost face in front of them, "I'm done eating."

Fu Chuan quickly cleared the dining table, lit incense in the room, washed himself quickly, and changed into a Taoist robe with strict laws.

Xie Qinghe couldn't help asking him: "Shall I change clothes too?"

But Fu Chuan felt that Xie Qinghe was good everywhere, no matter how he looked at him, he was very immortal and admirable: "That's not necessary. Senior brother sits on the couch for a while, like a fairy in a niche." Besides , Changing clothes layer by layer is really tiring, Fu Chuan doesn't want the big brother to toss about.

The city of Xun is not big, and Yun Chao's footsteps are also fast, thinking that the master and the young master are eating, he deliberately stopped.

When Yun Chao led Wen Chong into the small courtyard, lights poured out from the originally bare and secluded courtyard, which was silent and solemn.

Wherever the monks live, the geomantic omen of the world must be intimidated. Xie Qinghe's cultivation is the most important in this place, and the four spirits have all accepted Xie Qinghe's suppression, and the atmosphere will naturally change.In Wen Chong's eyes, the small courtyard, which was ordinary and even empty, was just as unattainable as an observatory.

Yun Chao entered the door to announce, and Wen Chong knelt down on the porch in front of the door, waiting to be heard.

"Come in." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Wen Chong leaned over and kowtowed, stood up and lowered his head, and entered the door in an orderly manner.

"Disciple Wen Chong, pay homage to the real master." Wen Chong bowed down again.

"Junior brother Wen," so many years have passed, Xie Qinghe is always practicing magic, and Wen Chong went to Longcheng again and he is not under his nose. It is good that he can remember that this person is a junior, "Long time no see. Excuse me, please sit down. "

Yun Chao handed Wen Chong a small stool, Wen Chong thanked him again, sat down, and said first: "The disciple went to Xun City on business the day before yesterday, and was ordered to observe the atmosphere in the city. The real master is not allowed to summon, and the disciples dare not visit the door hastily, and if they are a few days late, please forgive the sin of the real master."

Xie Qinghe smiled slightly and asked, "Why are you here in Xun City?"

Wen Chong replied: "The disciple was ordered by senior brother Li to serve as the guardian of the law in Tongling County Yamen of Longlin Guard. Yu Hu, the prefect of Tongling, sent a letter saying that there are strange things and anecdotes in Xingcheng that are difficult to decide. He asked Longlin Guard to send people to assist in the investigation. The disciple then came to Xiancheng to investigate the situation together with the governor Xu Jing."

When he was speaking, he looked at Xie Qinghe's face, and asked tentatively: "If the disciple guessed correctly, the Gao family's evil incident must be the real head of the sect who personally helped him?"

Wen Chong went down the mountain to Longcheng eight years ago, and now he is an outer disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, eating the food of Longcheng.

The news that Shu Hanyun lived in the emperor's skin was a secret. In the eyes of Wen Chong and other disciples, they had always followed Li Nanfeng in assisting Longcheng, with a high profile.Wen Chong followed Longlin Guard to Xuncheng to assist in the investigation, purely to help Longcheng.Moreover, the secular imperial power has no obligation to deal with foreign affairs.The big incidents in Xun City have nothing to do with the secular imperial power, let alone him who lives in the Dragon Scale Guard.

——Even if the head master was furious about the incident in Xun City, it was the outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect who were responsible.

Therefore, seeing Xie Qinghe here, Wen Chong was not in a hurry, and was not worried about getting into trouble.

Who knows that the matter of Xiancheng really has nothing to do with him.

Xie Qinghe read the brochure written by Fu Chuan, and asked: "17 years ago, you and Liang Shuang came to Xuncheng to investigate the incident of a scholar surnamed Liu encountering a ghost in the suburbs of the mountain? I have already talked about this matter with my junior brother, so you and my junior brother should have a pair of confessions."

Wen Chong was also dumbfounded, and quickly stood up and bowed down: "I really don't know that this matter is related to the old incident 17 years ago."

Fu Chuan stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Brother Wen, there is no need to worry. There is still something strange about this matter, as long as I explain the past one by one."

Since Xie Qinghe devoured the group of demons, there were far fewer strange events in the world than in previous years. When Wen Chong was a deacon in the outer sect, he did not have a few missions in total.Coming to Xun City was originally a revisit of the old place. A few days ago, I had a chat with Xu Jing, the governor of the Dragon Scale Guard. Now he was asked suddenly, and he was not very confused. pass on.

Wen Chong's statement is not much different from Liang Shuang's.

17 years ago, he came to Xuncheng with Liang Shuang, first visited Liu Sheng's home, and was taken by Liu Sheng to a ruined temple outside the city to check the place where the "ghost hit" was found, and no evil spirits were found nearby. thing.The two were still worried, they first lived in the suburbs for two days, and then searched the city for two days, and after finding nothing, they went back to Hanshan to pay the order and return the order to close the case.

Fu Chuan nodded to Xie Qinghe, found out Liang Shuang's confession, and pointed it to Xie Qinghe.

"You said you lived in the suburbs for two days first, and then searched the city for two days. Are you together?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Wen Chong nodded affirmatively: "The teaching order of the Outer Sect is strict. Disciple and Senior Brother Liang arrest the deacons in pairs and are not allowed to act separately. It is for checking the facts and cross-examining testimony. This prohibition must not be violated."

Xie Qinghe asked again: "Have you ever learned the "Eight Desolation Skills" in the sect?"

Wen Chong's eyes were full of confusion: "Disciple... is ignorant and ignorant, and has never learned this skill."

Fox once said that she learned "Bahuang Gong" from Wen Chong, but Bahuang Gong is a method of ghosts.

It is impossible for an outer disciple like Wen Chong who is not very old to dabble.Even among the inner disciples, Chen Yiwei's practice is poor and Fu Chuan is still young, it is unlikely that he will understand the Eight Desolation Kung Fu.This kind of messy kung fu is either learned by foreigners, or it is learned by geniuses like Xie Qinghe who have enough energy to learn.

"Look it up." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Fu Chuan took out a few Ghost Dao paper talismans and signaled Wen Chong to take them.

Wen Chong took it in his hand inexplicably, the paper talisman was quiet and motionless.

"Senior Brother Wen can keep it close to you. The Zongmen is teaching this talisman these days. If Brother Wen doesn't have time to go back to the mountain to ask for it, I can take Brother Wen to draw it twice later." Fu Chuan explained.

Wen Chong was overwhelmed by the flattery, and he couldn't help but thank him: "Thank you, Brother Fu Xiao, for your guidance. This disciple couldn't ask for it."

Fu Chuan turned his head and glanced at Xie Qinghe, knowing that Xie Qinghe had finished his question, he asked Wen Chong to go to another room to study talisman in a low voice.

It is an extremely prudent occasion to meet with the head master in the Hanjiang Sword Sect. Now that the words are finished, Xie Qinghe will not leave any news about Chong's daily life. After driving, bid farewell obediently.

Xie Qinghe changed his sitting position and slightly propped up his knees.

There are only two ways for the fox to learn so many Hanjiang secrets.Either through Zhibao Cave, or through people.

With the mixed learning of the fox, it will be very difficult to achieve the goal through the "human" approach.Either she has to gather enough outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, or she has to win the top masters of the inner sect of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, namely: Shangguan Shiyi, Xie Qinghe, Shu Hanyun, and Li Nanfeng.Because Fu Chuan was too young, his knowledge and knowledge were still a bit short.

So, is Zhibao Cave?

Xie Qinghe began to think about this question: Is it possible for a fox to have entered Zhibao Cave?

——If the fox has entered Zhibao Cave, she has a better choice. Why did she choose the Eight Desolation Kungfu and other ghost skills?

Thinking of this, Xie Qinghe slowly got up and walked to A Shou who was sleeping.

He really wanted to explore the past of the Yaozu by going back.For example, the world of demon cultivators, such as the purpose of the fox.

However, the demon is a very strange thing.

Although demons and demons have the same origin, demons are human minds, and their essence is a soul.Xie Qinghe Wenling obtained the method of enchantment, and thus sorted out a way to trace back the memory of living people.This method doesn't work on Yaozu.

"Senior Brother, I sent Senior Brother Wen back."

Fu Chuan took a closer look at A Shou, and scratched A Shou's little ears with his fingers, "What do you think, senior brother?"

"I'm thinking, 'Above' has nothing to do with the Yaozu."

"Lei Jie was so aggressive that he wanted to punish Ah Shou. After Ah Shou spit out the remains of the unicorn, the robbery cloud dispersed automatically. I originally thought that this was a little mercy from God. But," Xie Qinghe gently embraced Fu Chuan, "You I already have the ghost way talisman, but you still use the ghost way to become a demon, how do you know that the 'above' can only control demons, ghosts and other souls?"

Xie Qinghe only has the ghost way talisman in his hand, if what Fu Chuan falls into is not the way of ghosts and demons, but the way of demons, I am afraid that Xie Qinghe will be dumbfounded.

Fu Chuan also thought of one thing: "The ghost way talisman method, the elder brother also engraved it according to the method of the younger sister Wen."

Wen Lanlan's predecessor was Jiuzhuan Wenlan Yin.

Nine-turn Wenlan Seal is the magic weapon thrown down by Patriarch Ye Qingxu.

If the "above" is in charge of planning is Patriarch Ye Qingxu, who is proficient in soul-type spells, can drive demons, and has inherited the Nine-turn Wenlan Seal of his cultivation consciousness, there is a high probability that he will also know how to deal with ghosts and demons.

It all makes sense.

Above the sky, after all, it was too far away.

Fu Chuan supported Xie Qinghe back to the couch and sat down, and said: "Brother Wen just asked me that he would write to Longcheng to report local affairs every ten months. Such a big incident happened in Xuncheng, and Longlin Wei will definitely report to the imperial court, he asked me if I should report the news of Senior Brother's visit to Xian City."

"This is a strange thing to say. Li Nanfeng is still recovering from his injuries in the sect, who is he going to report my whereabouts to?" Xie Qinghe sneered.

Seeing Xie Qinghe getting angry, Fu Chuan suddenly remembered that something was wrong.The news that Shu Hanyun was alive was firmly confined to a small area. He knew that Shu Hanyun was alive, and Wen Chong should never know about it.Now Li Nanfeng is not in Longcheng, and Wen Chong doesn't know that the emperor is Shu Hanyun, who is he writing to report Xie Qinghe's whereabouts?

——The secular emperor?

The dignified outer disciple of the Hanjiang Sword Sect has really become a hawk dog raised by the secular emperor!

"Immediately send a letter to Li Nanfeng, telling him to come to Xun City to deal with this matter!"

Xie Qinghe was angry.
