This seat has been reborn as a rebel of Xianzun
Chapter 18 The Truth
"What's the matter with a necklace, let them come here." With an angry face, Zhou Daguan accused the maid who was kneeling on the ground.
"Master, that necklace is very important to the young lady. She never took it off. Today, for some reason, the necklace disappeared when I woke up," the maid said cautiously, "There is no reason for the necklace to disappear out of thin air. What does the young master mean? , there may be a thief in the house."
Zhou Daguan's face was red and white, and he was choked up for a while and couldn't speak. Today, in front of the two immortals, this is really embarrassing.
Feng Wujing put the teacup in his hand back on the wooden table with a thud, not a single drop of the tea, he tapped his knuckles on the armrest of the wooden chair, and the ending sound raised a pleasant tone: "The spider spirit failed to seek revenge in the mansion because of the Miss Rong's necklace has protected your Zhou Mansion."
The boy continued in an orderly manner: "Besides, I have to tell you that the spider spirit becomes stronger and stronger in the process of sucking the blood of the villagers. If we didn't arrive even if we arrived, the necklace might not be able to last for long. Don't you Haven't you noticed that the spider webs in the corners of the Zhou Mansion are getting denser?"
Zhou Daguan was stunned, went through all the details in his mind, and finally got up in shock: "Quick! Find the necklace!"
Gu Langqing watched the development of the situation in silence, then turned his head to look out the window, gradually thinking about it in his heart.
Zhou Daguan asked anxiously: "Well, then, two immortals, now that the necklace is gone, if the spider spirit comes to the door again, wouldn't it be the end of us!"
Feng Wujing squinted his eyes: "That's not the case, the spider spirit is dead, could it be that you guys have provoked something else?"
Zhou Daguan was speechless, with fear in his words: "No, how many lives does this spider spirit have? Dayuan and I clearly killed him last time..."
Feng Wujing: "..."
This official Zhou is also a fool. He manipulated one after another, and his brain is not good enough. How can he be confident that he can kill a goblin with an ordinary weapon.
Gu Langqing's eyes were silent, he looked at the branches outside the window, and directly bypassed the topic, his crow's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "We help Zhou Gezhuang kill the demons, can we make three requests?"
"Yes, yes! You two are the great benefactors of our village. Just ask for anything you need! I will definitely do it for you."
Gu Langqing lowered his brows and eyes, his demeanor instantly became cold and holy, Feng Wujing admired his appearance, it was really different from his appearance in the cave yesterday.
Gu Langqing said: "First of all, you will tell Miss A Rong about Mr. Zhou and the goblin in a while."
After several conversations, Miss A Rong has a pure personality, and she doesn't seem to know the existence of spider spirits.And it was really uncomfortable for her to be kept in the dark by the entire Zhou family.
When Gu Langqing thought of something, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Okay, okay." Zhou Daguan hesitated for a while, but still agreed, maybe in his own heart, he also felt that it was not kind to do so.
"Then, you tell the villagers everything you did."
Zhou Daguan choked, and said tentatively: "But Xianjun, you didn't say it, the current situation, it's useless to tell, will it only increase panic?"
"This is the third thing I want to say." Gu Langqing changed his voice and nodded, "You are responsible for bringing all the villagers out of the village."
Feng Wujing rubbed his fingertips on the table, looking intently at Gu Langqing's side where he was seriously talking.
Gu Langqing noticed the burning gaze and turned his head silently.
Zhou Daguan stayed where he was, obviously thinking that this idea was absurd.
Gu Langqing said: "I know, this matter will not be done for a while, and I don't want you to confess to everyone what you have done right now."
Zhou Daguan hesitated and said: "Then..."
Gu Langqing's expression was light: "You first slowly guide the villagers to accept the idea of moving back to the city, and then find a reason to lead the villagers to move out in the future, and I will come and see."
"Okay, okay, but it's a little difficult..." Zhou Daguan was thinking.
For the villagers who have been imprisoned in Zhougezhuang for more than a hundred years, the idea of not being able to leave the village has been deeply ingrained in their minds, and it will be difficult to change in a short time.
"If you stay in this kind of ghost place, your whole village will die sooner or later," Feng Wujing added coldly, "There are obviously better places to live and live outside the village, so you have to stand still and be a frog in a well."
Everyone in the guest hall fell silent under Feng Wujing's sarcasm, and the hall fell silent for a moment.
"Okay, well said!"
An old shout suddenly came in from the window, followed by the sound of opening the door, an old man appeared in front of the door, meeting the eyes of everyone, the old man was not afraid at all, but smiled crazily: "Mr. I told you earlier that staying in the village is not a long-term solution. The war has passed a hundred years ago, and it is time to find a new place!"
This old man is the old man Li who guards Yizhuang.
His hawk-like gaze was fixed on Mr. Zhou, and he was still dissatisfied after cursing, his old face was filled with righteous indignation.
Zhou Daguan's face was pale: "Old man Li, you stay in Yizhuang every day, are you stupid? If you really want to do this, you can't do it just by saying it."
Old man Li cursed: "You have been doing nothing in the village all day, worrying about useless things, I am worried for you!"
Old man Li's violent curses attracted a crowd of servants from the Zhou family to watch. Everyone looked at this scene of violating the law, but they were not surprised on the surface.
Gu Langqing made a guess in his heart, casually chatted with a maid, and asked in a low voice about their relationship.
The maid was careless, and turned her head to tell the truth: "No one in this village knows that old man Li and my officials are good brothers who have played since childhood."
Hearing the expected answer, Gu Langqing silently nodded.
"When you showed me the handbook, I suggested that you take the villagers out to have a look. Look at you, if you don't listen to me, it will cause disaster in the end! Who is to blame?"
Seeing that the noise was getting louder and louder, Zhou Daguan waved his hand and dismissed the audience: "It's okay, blame me. Now I have agreed to Xianjun's words, and I will take everyone out when I find a chance. Don't stay in the corner of Yizhuang. Stay at my house, that's unlucky."
Old man Li's face remained unchanged, and he retorted: "What's unlucky, I think the location of your Zhou Mansion is even more unlucky!"
……
In the end, the two quarreled with each other until their mouths were dry, and they drank a sip of tea together, and started the war again, which seemed to mean that they would not give up even if there was no winner.
He even forgot the two immortals who were sitting on the VIP seat beside him.
Feng Wujing was not in a hurry, he leaned lazily on the seat, and looked at Gu Langqing's whole body up and down.
At this moment, a maid trotted into the house, blushing: "Officer, the thief who stole the necklace from the house has been found."
"Who?" Zhou Daguan asked immediately.
Old man Li stabbed the knife unhurriedly: "Yo, Zhou's mansion has turned into a thief."
Zhou Daguan gave him a glare, but ignored him.
The two are about the same size, if there is a slight difference, it would be that old man Li is thinner, probably because he guarded Yizhuang and honed it day after day.
The maid said: "Hey, old man Li has a really good relationship with my family officials. They have been arguing for ten years, and it's not annoying."
Hearing these words, Feng Wujing snorted lightly, and watched as the thief in the mansion was escorted into the guest living room, it was a maid.
The maid turned her back to Feng Wujing, he could only tell that the woman was not young, she should be around 50 or [-] years old.
The thief was shaking like a sieve, knelt in front of Zhou Daguan and dared not move.Ah Rong and Zhou Dayuan also arrived after a while, from the looks on their faces, they seemed a little tired.
A Rong had already put on the necklace again, and reprimanded: "This necklace was given to me by my mother. I have worn it since I was a child, and the color is old. It means a lot to me, but it probably can't be sold to you." A few bucks, why are you stealing it?"
The maid's voice was full of fear, and she choked up and begged: "I didn't do it on purpose, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Hearing these words, Feng Wujing was slightly startled, and the fingers pinching the cup shrank suddenly, the voice sounded familiar.
Zhou Daguan said humanely: "You look up."
The maid raised her head slowly.
Zhou Daguan looked at the maid's face for a while: "Why did you steal the necklace?"
The maid was stunned for a while: "The Bodhisattva asked me to steal it! Don't blame me, really don't blame me!"
Zhou Daguan asked doubtfully, "Bodhisattva?"
The maid was silent for a while: "Bodhisattva... Bodhisattva said that he can't say it."
Gu Langqing, who was sitting on the side, took a sip of tea: "That's not a Bodhisattva, that's a spider spirit. It's okay, let's talk."
The maid trembled when she heard the voice, and turned around——
Feng Wujing looked at that person, Chen Yinyin.
A series of clues colluded in his mind, Feng Wujing's dark eyes flickered, he was puzzled that day, why Chen Yinyin wanted to work in the home of the official Zhou whom she hated, suddenly had a reasonable explanation.
Chen Yinyin showed doubts on her face: "What spider spirit? It was the Bodhisattva who helped me get Ah Sheng..."
Realizing that she had slipped her mouth, Chen Yinyin stopped her mouth.
Feng Wujing's expression was indifferent: "There is Buddha's light on that string of necklaces, and it has been protecting Zhou Mansion from unreasonable disasters. In order to retaliate against Zhou Mansion, the spider spirit turned into a bodhisattva to help you open the coffin and steal Chen Asheng's body, and then asked you to help him steal it." Necklace, to avenge her, understand?"
Feng Wujing pouted his head, a loose strand of hair hanging from his temples was hanging on his shoulders, as if he was in a trance.
After all, the spider spirit was a step too late, Chen Yinyin succeeded and the spider spirit died, and it was only a few days away.
Feng Wujing looked at Gu Langqing with unclear meaning.
What a coincidence, how could there be so many coincidences in this trip.
More like...someone deliberately designed it.
Gu Langqing said: "This eldest sister is also eager to love her son, Miss A Rong, so there is no need to pursue it."
Ah Rong pursed her lips and nodded sullenly.
Gu Langqing sighed softly, when A Rong knew the truth, she didn't know if she could maintain her current mentality.
Such disasters, sufferings in the world, and wrong steps are all resigned to fate.
A Rong's eyes were flushed, and she said Nuo Nuo: "I saw my friends."
Zhou Dayuan put his arms around her shoulders and comforted her, "Yes."
A Rong said: "But when we first arrived in Zhougezhuang the year before last, there were 16 people in total. My friends... were all kicked out by you, and now we don't know whether they are dead or alive."
The people on the side had already realized that they had wrongly blamed the sixteen outsiders. Everyone had more or less followed the crowd to get rid of the "disaster" they called. Now that the truth is revealed, everyone feels a little uncomfortable.
Ah Rong cried, "Why, why should we be treated like this..."
Naturally, Feng Wujing, who was watching coldly, didn't have the slightest emotion in his heart, where did the Mozun get his feelings?
He was even a little puzzled, people were already dead and whereabouts were unknown, no matter what happened in the past, it was already in the past, why he still had to worry about it so much.
Feng Wujing felt a little bored and leaned back in his chair lazily.
The whole guest hall was haunted by the little girl's low sobbing, which made everyone's heart tremble.
At the end, Old Man Li's slightly hoarse voice said: "Girl, come with me, your friends are all in Yizhuang in the village."
The window sills were shining brightly by the sunlight, the girl slightly raised her head, and the tears of her mother-in-law flashed under the light, like brilliant pearls.
It turned out that old man Li took the initiative to invite Ying to go to that ghostly place in Yizhuang for the purpose of...
While everyone was shocked, the same thought suddenly came to their hearts, it was dawn.
Gu Langqing on the side coughed softly, used his spiritual power to condense a talisman, and handed it to Mr. Zhou: "This talisman can withstand the damage of a demon once. Mr. Zhou, don't forget to promise us."
Behind him was Zhou Daguan's repeated thanks, Feng Wujing got up and followed Gu Langqing out of the house.
Looking through the dark green banana tree above, peeping out the blue and cloudless sky through the gaps in the clean and damp leaves, Feng Wujing heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his eyes towards Gu Langqing.
Do you want to follow Gu Langqing back to Wangyou Peak?
Gu Langqing's brows and eyes were gentle: "Do you want to ride the sword or walk?"
"I want to know," Feng Wujing licked the corner of his lips ambiguously, "What did you dream about in the cave?"
"Master, that necklace is very important to the young lady. She never took it off. Today, for some reason, the necklace disappeared when I woke up," the maid said cautiously, "There is no reason for the necklace to disappear out of thin air. What does the young master mean? , there may be a thief in the house."
