Luo Shixing seemed to be taken aback when he heard the explosion of thunder, his hands shook, and he pressed his cane heavily on the inspector's forehead, and the sharp part made the opponent's forehead cut instantly.

However, at this moment, the inspector had no intention of pursuing it, and he himself was taken aback by the thunder.

Especially when Luo Shixing, as the high priest of the Ouluo tribe, thundered when he was blessing him, it was not a good omen.

Especially after the explosion of thunder, there was continuous thunder, and the sky was still thin with moon and stars, and there was no sign of rain.

But the thunder seemed to be getting closer.

At this time, only the dancing flames in the brazier illuminated the altar. Luo Shixing's expression was very serious, and he retracted his cane and poked it heavily on the ground.

The dull sound produced by the contact of the cane with the bluestone floor suddenly overwhelmed the thunder, and even the flames of the big firepit and small firepit behind him jumped up a lot in an instant, and the beating frequency became faster.

And the dense thunder paused for a moment as if it was suppressed.

After the thunder stopped, the surrounding area was very quiet, so quiet that not many insects and birds could be heard.

Luo Shixing looked around and found that there was no thunder and said to the inspector in a low voice: "It's just a sudden accident, let's continue."

As he spoke, he raised his cane and pointed it at the inspector's forehead, but just as the cane was about to touch the other's forehead, there was another thunderous sound.

This time it's even closer!

Luo Shixing not only tapped the ground with his cane this time, but even recited a few spells silently.

The flames of the fireplace behind him were getting higher and higher, and the thunder was also getting louder!

The inspector's face turned pale. If he hadn't realized that the thunder was only aimed at himself at this time, it would be impossible.

And nowadays people really believe that one day will strike five thunders, does this mean...

The inspector's legs went limp and he knelt down on the ground, prostrated himself deeply and shouted, "Fire God, calm down. I have never been disrespectful to Vulcan, and I have never done anything harmful to nature. Please learn from Vulcan!"

Luo Shixing frowned and said, "The Vulcan will not do this for no reason. Tonight's blessing ceremony ends here."

After he finished speaking, he asked the inspector to be helped down, and he didn't ask him any other questions from the beginning to the end, and then he muttered to the brazier for a while, and then he was dismissed.

After the show ended, Luo Shixing changed into a set of casual clothes and went to look at the inspector. At this time, the place where the inspector lived was filled with the smell of medicine.

Luo Shixing went over and asked the servant: "What's the matter?"

The servant immediately said: "The inspector was quite frightened, and he is making soothing soup."

Luo Shixing looked inside, just in time to see the inspector's figure reflected on the curtain, as if he was listening to the voices in the yard, so he deliberately said in a moderate voice: "Take care, don't tell the inspector that I'm coming Pass."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the inspector who had just hid behind the curtain immediately came out and shouted: "Please stay, envoy."

Luo Shixing paused, turned his head to look at the inspector and said very gently: "Some accident happened tonight. The weather in Lingnan is changeable. It is often sunny in one second and rainy in the next second. Please don't let the inspector Heart."

His tone was very gentle, and it really sounded like he was comforting someone, but the inspector was more and more frightened by his comfort.

He knew that the weather in Lingnan was changing rapidly, but it was obviously not tonight. The moon tonight was big and round, and the bright light covered all the surrounding stars. How could it look like it was about to rain?

What's more, after the blessing ceremony, the thunder disappeared, and it doesn't appear again until now, who is not afraid of it?

The inspector pulled Luo Shixing's wrist and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the priests of the Ouluo tribe can communicate with the Vulcan. I wonder if you... have communicated with the Vulcan tonight?"

Luo Shixing's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but he said, "Where is it so exaggerated, how can God communicate with people casually."

The inspector knew from his expression that there must be something wrong, and the other party obviously wanted to cover up something, so he said quickly: "Please don't lie to me, what is the oracle of Vulcan, just tell me. If there is something that offends Vulcan, I can also plead guilty to Vulcan."

Luo Shixing said helplessly: "The inspector is not from the Ouluo tribe, and the Vulcan will not be too strict. You don't need to worry about these when you return to the Central Plains."

The inspector became more and more uneasy. Sometimes people are like this. The more you reassure him, the more nervous he becomes, always wondering if there is really something wrong.

The inspector resolutely said: "No, I can't bring disasters to my family, the gods must not be disrespectful, so please tell me."

Luo Shixing sighed: "But I don't want to embarrass the inspector."

He said that he didn't want to embarrass the inspector, but his eyes crazily hinted that he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. What he was worried about was that the inspector would hold a grudge when he went back.

As soon as the inspector heard it, he immediately said: "I have been in Lingnan, and the envoy has always entertained you wholeheartedly, knowing everything. I fell in love with the envoy at first sight, and I have absolutely no other thoughts."

Luo Shixing: ...

Although he knew that the inspector meant that he liked him very much, so he would not cheat him, but what does this love at first sight mean?Don't use idioms indiscriminately!

Luo Shixing coughed lightly and asked, "Then...the inspector will think carefully about whether he has done something unspeakable."

After he finished speaking, he said immediately: "The inspector doesn't need to tell me, as long as he thinks about it and makes amends."

From the beginning to the end, Luo Shixing seemed to have a special desire to survive, wishing to cover his ears and not want to hear anything. The more he was like this, the less the inspector would suspect him.

Of course, people don't think about pretending to be ghosts when they discover visions these days.

The inspector thought for a while, his expression moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Is Vulcan angry because of this?"

How could Luo Shixing know which one it was? These days, there are few aristocratic officials with integrity, and there may be many things that can't be seen in the dark. What if the other party gets it wrong?

Most people have the idea of ​​escaping, and when they encounter things, they will subconsciously choose the one with the least cost.

What if the inspector confessed to him that he shouldn't have robbed the women?Of course, this is not to say that the inspectors really robbed civilian women, but compared with treason, this crime seems to be less serious.

Therefore, he coughed softly and said implicitly: "The God of Fire is the god served by the Ouluo tribe. Normally, such an oracle will be issued only when the Ouluo tribe is in danger, but I think the God of Fire must have misunderstood it. What about the inspector?" Will it be detrimental to Jiaozhou? That's why I told the inspector not to take it seriously, and explain it to Vulcan when I go back, maybe Vulcan felt angry that the inspector sent by the imperial court misunderstood him."

Luo Shixing directly delineated the area, so it's not something that the inspectors can just fool around.

After being silent for a while, the inspector suddenly asked, "Have you discovered the thing buried under the tree?"

Luo Shixing's expression was well controlled, and he said in a daze, "Under the tree? What tree?"

The inspector observed carefully for a while and found that the other party did not understand, so he sighed and said: "To be honest, I have a heavy responsibility this time. Many people in the court suspect that Jiaozhou forged tax records, so this time I am clearly Inspector, in fact, there is another inspector, the inspector visits the people, can know more, but unexpectedly offended Vulcan."

Luo Shixing:? ? ? ?

My trousers are... no, I have been tossing around for so long, you told me it was because of an unannounced visit?

But the problem is that since it is an unannounced visit, why use strange symbols to deliver the message?Especially that symbol is very similar to Tubo script.

It's a pity that Luo Shixing had already denied the discovery of the stone slab just now, so he couldn't ask any more questions at this time, so he could only say with a smile: "It is right for inspectors to be cautious, and this can be regarded as being responsible to the court. Vulcan shouldn't be so unkind. Please rest assured the Inspector."

From the beginning to the end, he never said that he wanted to see the inspector, nor did he show any doubts about the inspector, as if he trusted him very much, which reassured the inspector a lot.

He smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I don't have to hide it in secret. I will send a servant to send a message tomorrow."

Luo Shixing asked again: "Just now the inspector said that under the tree... I don't know if it is important news? If so, we should dig it out as soon as possible. If someone accidentally finds out, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

The disgusting things you did yourself made us play around, now you should also disgust yourself.

Sure enough, the inspector's expression froze after hearing this, and he said with a dry smile, "Exactly."

Luo Shixing cupped his hands and said, "This way, the Inspector's rest will not be disturbed. Let's just pretend that what happened tonight never happened, and the Inspector needn't think too much about it."

The inspector breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

Luo Shixing told his servants to take good care of the inspector, and watched him finish drinking a bowl of soothing soup before leaving.

When I returned to the main courtyard, I found that everyone was very crowded. One of the bosses didn't go home, probably waiting for the result.

When Cheng Jingwei saw Luo Shixing, he asked, "How is it?"

Luo Shixing's expression changed from his previous gentleness, and he snorted coldly and said: "It seems that he still hasn't frightened him, and he's actually lying. What he said is that the imperial court sent two people here, one in the open and the other in the dark. , He is the inspector on the surface, and the one in the dark is the inspector, who is responsible for visiting the people."

Cheng Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "It sounds reasonable, but...the symbols they use to convey messages are unheard of."

It's okay if the bosses can't see it. Cheng Jingwei fought countless rounds with the Tang army back then, and he knows all kinds of ciphertexts of the Tang Dynasty like the back of his hand, but he has never seen this kind of symbol.

It's just that he couldn't say this, but it was enough for him to firmly believe that there was something wrong with the inspector.

Li Youdao said slowly: "He just wants to throw this matter out to silence you. If you continue to pursue it, you will be contemptuous of the court, so that's fine."

"Ah?" Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Li Youdao then said: "Let him go, this matter is just like what you told him, pretend it never happened."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was silent for a while before he said: "But he might be a secret agent in collusion with other countries, how can he ignore it?"

It is not a mistake to protect oneself wisely, but if everyone thinks about protecting oneself wisely, what is the way out for this country?
