[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

Since the year when Master left, Taihang Temple has never been as lively as it is now.

The six of them stepped into the Taoist temple together, as if even the Hall of Supreme Purity seemed cramped, not to mention there were several secret guards from Gong Jiu crowded on the beams of the room.The brazier, which was originally at the right temperature, made people feel hot and dry, so Mo Qi removed some charcoal fire.

Li Anran took Dongfang An into his bedroom with selfishness that he couldn't express, and settled him down.With a serious face, he stretched out his hands to smooth out Dongfang An's messy hair hanging on his shoulders meticulously, tied it around his shoulders, stepped aside cautiously and stood upright, then rubbed his fingers, and thought about it for a while. The feeling of the hair remaining between the fingers.

Li Anran: Hey...hehehe.

Soft, cool and smooth.

Li Anran suddenly raised his hand as if his ears were scalded, and rubbed his already hot ears.

Yang Guo had already poured hot tea for himself very familiarly, and while stuffing a cup for Xiaolongnv to cover his hands, he couldn't wait to turn off the charcoal fire, and said to Mo Qi who stepped into the senior brother's room: "I have long admired the name of Immortal Mo Dao When my aunt and I were traveling around, we often heard the name of the Taoist Immortal, and we admired the Taoist Immortal's benevolence and righteousness."

Since Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv retired from the Jianghu, the couple has seen the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty to the full. The vicissitudes of the past time imprinted on him have been washed away by happiness, and they will be crushed by the gods. The remaining youthful spirit under Xia's composure returned to the surface again.

At this time, Yang Guo, although his right arm was broken and his temples were white, his face was calm and unrestrained, and the eyes he met with Xiao Longnu from time to time were full of sweet happiness, and the ecstasy of the past had melted into him. Tenderness and sweetness.

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you two. My senior brother has been guarding the Taihang Temple for ten years. Except for supplies, he has almost never stepped out of Taihang Mountain, so he doesn't know anything about the world. I..." Mo Qi first explained to Li Anran, and waited for the explanation When it came to me, I got stuck.

Yang Guo was very alert, and immediately found a way for Mo Qi to step down: "I know, I know. Although Taoist Immortal is ranked second in the Jianghu Baixiaosheng Shenbing list, he never seeks to be famous in the Jianghu. Every time he makes a move, it is for Handle the case. Daoxian's heart is in the common people, not in the Jianghu, and he has never heard of me and my aunt's name, which is normal."

Mo Qi didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he just lowered his head silently and poked the charcoal.

Yang Guo smiled.

If Mo Qi's indifferent appearance fell into the eyes of other people, they might still feel that Mo Qi was unreasonable, but Yang Guo had lived with the cold-tempered little dragon girl for so many years, and he was most impressed by this kind of introverted person. You have to understand that Mo Qi is only embarrassed by his own praise at this time, and the appearance of bowing his head and dialing charcoal is a bit cute.

From this point of view, Mo Daoxian is indeed sincere in his heart, and the rumors of those common people should be correct.

Yang Guo smiled, a little mischievous, but with a bit of maturity and introversion after going through all kinds of twists and turns: "It seems that my aunt and I really misunderstood."

Li Anran finally came out from the inner room: "Don't mention this, please tell me first, why did you come to find Dongfang Xing?"

Holding the hot tea in her hands, Xiao Longnv just looked at Yang Guo without saying a word.

Yang Guo put on a solemn expression: "This starts from three days ago."

"My aunt and I rarely revisit the old places after we retired. Firstly... most of them are not so happy memories. Secondly, even if there are happy memories, the world is unpredictable. Those old places It was almost destroyed in the end."

"After traveling all over the country, we thought, other places are more convenient, but we have to try to see if we can go back to the Tomb of the Living Dead - that's where I lived when I was apprenticed to my aunt. If I can go in, We simply retreated completely, and stayed in the tomb of the living dead, spending the rest of our lives together."

"When we entered the tomb of the living dead, we specially brought gunpowder, because we put down the dragon-breaking stone at the entrance of the tomb of the living dead when we were avoiding the enemy. Without gunpowder, we couldn't open it at all. But when we arrived at the entrance of the tomb of the living dead , only to find that... that Dragon Breaking Stone has already been blasted away."

Li Anran and Mo Qi looked at each other.

Who would want to go to the tomb of the living dead?

Yang Guo said: "At the beginning, we thought that some of the bull-nosed Taoist priests who belonged to the Quanzhen Sect were resentful towards us, so they went to the Quanzhen Sect to ask for an explanation. The decree is to prepare for the grand conferment ceremony for the national teacher, and the whole teacher has been very busy—"

Mo Qi opened his eyes slightly: "Conferring the crown... the grand ceremony?!"

Yang Guo was surprised: "Huh? You are the national teacher, don't you know—oh!" He came to his senses, "No wonder they told me to keep quiet, so this is a surprise prepared by the Holy Majesty for you!"

Mo Qi's hands trembled: Whether it was a surprise or a fright is another matter.

Yang Guo coughed dryly: "I won't mention it, I won't mention it." He endured it for a while, but still couldn't help revealing, "But I think you can really look forward to it, I think they are quite well prepared—— Although he kept pulling his face the whole time."

Yang Guo scratched his face: But, when those bull-nosed Quanzhen sects saw him, didn't they all keep pulling their faces.

Li Anran snorted coldly: "Of course they want to put on a face, my junior brother and I both belong to the Zhengyi sect, and they are two different ways from Quanzhen sect, not the same family."

"Then why do people from the Quanzhen sect prepare for this grand ceremony?" Yang Guo couldn't help asking.

Li Anran elongated his voice and said: "For the king's policy, you can't rely on it. To cultivate the emperor's mind, you need to master the way of balance. Quanzhen Sect is also the number one state religion in the Song Dynasty. Now the Holy One wants to let a decent person come. As a national teacher, of course you can't neglect them, you have to pull them to work together, to show that I didn't neglect you, and I still respect you very much."

Yang Guo thought about the stinky faces he saw at that time, and couldn't help laughing, "I don't think they feel respected anymore."

Li Anran let out a sigh: "It's enough for an emperor to show respect. As for whether it's true or not, he doesn't care if you feel it or not. Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect has been going downhill since Wang Chongyang's death. The people who come out are all crooked melons and jujubes, the Holy Majesty may not be sure, but they are also unhappy."

Mo Qi frowned: "Brother, don't speak behind your back."

Li Anran made a gesture of covering her mouth: "I won't say anything, I won't say anything."

Li Anran muttered in a low voice: "The younger brother is stricter than the master. Who is the senior brother?"

Yang Guo was amused again.

"..." Mo Qiquan pretended not to hear his brother's muttering, and asked Yang Guo with a tense face, "It wasn't done by someone from the Quanzhen Sect, who did it? Did you find it?"

Yang Guo said: "We came to Songxi to find out who this person is."

"At that time, we questioned the people of the Quanzhen sect, and then we went back to the Tomb of the Living Dead to see if the contents were still there. After searching around, we found nothing missing, only a few bottles containing jade bee jelly. But I drank all the jade bee jelly in that bottle long ago, otherwise we would definitely have taken them away when we fought against the enemy and put down the Broken Dragon Stone to escape from the tomb of the living dead."

"—the Nine Yin Scriptures hidden in the coffin are fine."

Li Anran covered his ears: "Hey? Hey? I heard something just now. The wind was too strong, so I didn't hear it."

He didn't want to get involved with something like "Nine Yin Scriptures" that could cause disputes in the world.

Yang Guo laughed and said, "The tomb of the living dead has been blown up once. Of course, my aunt and I can't keep it on the coffin. We have already destroyed the things engraved with the scriptures of the Nine Yins. Brother Li, it's okay!" Otherwise, I wouldn't just say this news."

Mo Qi fell into deep thought: Could the person who enters the tomb of the living dead be a shadow person?

After careful consideration, he felt that it was unlikely.After all, no matter how the shadow man acts, he is always in the dark.They don't want to expose themselves, which means they can't provoke famous heroes in the arena.

Since Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv can be known by Gong Jiu, and they can force senior brother Li Anran to such a situation, they must have a lot of fame in the Jianghu.The shadow people shouldn't want to attack them.

Furthermore, the person who exploded the tomb of the living dead took away the bottle of jade bee jelly.Jade bee jelly does have miraculous healing effects, but this effect is enough to make the shadow people not hesitate to expose the possibility of others, should they take action for this?

Mo Qi shook his head in his heart.

There is also a holy product with miraculous healing effects. There is no need for the shadow people to take such a big risk for jade bee jelly.

Yang Guo continued: "Although it is said that the lost things are only a few empty jars, but the thief blew up the resident of our sect! If it gets out, do we want to lose face in the tomb of the living dead? So my aunt and I released the Jade Bee , I want to follow Jade Bee to chase this person."

"That person should have left not long ago. Jade Bee led us all the way and chased us to Songxi."

Xiao Longnu nodded lightly: "When we arrived at Songxi, we were supposed to follow Jade Bee to find those stolen Jade Bee Jelly bottles and find the thief. But at the gate of Songxi Town, we unexpectedly met Arrived at the Eastern Miracle Doctor."

Yang Guo nodded: "That's right. We didn't recognize him at first. If it wasn't for the fact that the Eastern Miracle Doctor was being bullied by a group of hooligans, we might not have noticed the Eastern Miracle Doctor who was dressed like a beggar on the street."

Xiao Longnv's voice was ethereal and pleasant, like a cool spring in the mountains, she said softly: "Guo'er and I thought that finding a way to cure the Eastern miracle doctor was more important than finding those empty bottles, so we didn't follow Jade Bee took away the Eastern genius doctor and found a place to live."

Yang Guo continued Xiaolongnv's words and said: "This morning, my aunt and I went out and wanted to buy something to come back early. Unexpectedly, the Eastern miracle doctor sneaked out of the residence when we were not around. When we bought something back, the room was empty. No one. My aunt and I searched for him for half a day, but we couldn't find him."

"In desperation, my aunt and I jumped onto the roof. We were in a hurry to go to the doctor, and we wanted to look around to see if there was any Oriental doctor, but in the open window of a wing room in Jiangshanzui, we saw Dongfang struggling to jump out of the window. The genius doctor, and Brother Li who is pulling on the belt of the genius doctor of the east to prevent the genius doctor from jumping out, this is a misunderstanding..." Yang Guo looked at Li Anran in embarrassment.

Li Anran was furious: "Can you think less negatively? You saw me grabbing him to prevent him from jumping out, shouldn't you think that I was afraid that he would break his leg?! Why do you think I stole him out? , What about the disciple who wants to do something wrong?!"

Yang Guo coughed lightly: "Ah... this, Brother Li. I told you, don't blame me. At that time, your expression was really like that of Deng Tuzi, full of joy..."

Li Anran's head went bald for a moment, and when he remembered that he touched Dongfang Xing's waist, he really couldn't help laughing a little, and couldn't explain anymore: "I'm——I'm—hey! Anyway! It's you who are blind!"

Li Anran glanced around in embarrassment, and was suddenly taken aback: "Hey, junior brother. Where is the white-clothed boy you brought back? What's his name--it's Gong Jiu, right?"

"Are you asking Mr. Ninth?" Xiao Longnu said calmly, "He went to the backyard and took three incense sticks."

Li Anran was confused: "What does he use incense for?"

Mo Qi pursed his lips, remembering what he had said to Gong Jiu before: "I once told him that my master's tomb is right under the biggest pine tree after the Taoist temple where I learned from my master."

Yang Guo guessed: "Master Jiu went to the backyard to offer incense?"

Li Anran: "What?"

Li Anran almost jumped up on the spot.

What's the relationship between him and his younger brother's master, and that Gong Jiu?Why should he offer incense?No, why did he go to Shangxiang? !

Etc., etc.This Ninth Young Master seems to be the man who gave his Junior Brother the Book of Songs. From this perspective... Is his guess true?This, this ninth son will be his sister-in-law in the future, so he went to offer incense to the master?

He was full of speculations when the door of the bedroom opened, and the cold wind blew the snow into the palace nine decorated with snow-white sable fur and inlaid with pearls.

Gong Jiu brushed off the snow from her body, didn't say anything else, and immediately said to Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv: "You two, the misunderstanding must have been cleared up now?"

As soon as Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv nodded, Gong Jiu continued, "Very good. Now, shouldn't it be time to mention the matter of compensation?"

Yang Guo opened his mouth blankly.

Gong Jiu walked up to Mo Qi's side, tapped Mo Qi's chest with his backhand, and said: "The restaurant you smashed was opened by Mo Daochang. Regardless of how much money is needed for the decoration, decoration, and construction of the restaurant, Just the wine in there—do you know how much a jar of Four Seasons Wine costs?"

Yang Guo closed his mouth, feeling bitter in his heart.

Of course he knew that he was also a drinker.

The wine of the four seasons was widely circulated in the southeast and northwest of the Song Dynasty, and it was said that it was worthless.The only time he drank the Four Seasons Wine was because of his entrusted Dongxie Huang Yaoshi, who got a glass of Four Seasons Wine from Huang Yaoshi.

It's a pity that when he drank it, he didn't take it seriously at first, and when he realized that he wanted to pour another glass, most of the Four Seasons Wine had already entered Senior Hong Qigong's stomach, and the last glass But in Huang Yaoshi's hands, he no longer has his share.

Huang Yaoshi also sighed: "The delicacies on the jade plate are worth ten thousand dollars, but this wine is worth ten thousand gold, so it's not a loss."

Xiao Longnv asked in a low voice: "Guo'er, is it very expensive?"

Gong Jiu stepped on Mo Qi who wanted to say "no problem": "Of course, it's very expensive. Besides, it's not so expensive."

Xiao Longnv simply raised her head: "We will definitely pay it back, how much should we pay?"

Yang Guo covered his face: "Auntie..."

Gong Jiu: "I have to pay..."

Wait, how does this count.

Gong Jiu, who has always been hard at arithmetic, made a gesture, and one of the hidden guards who had been nesting on the roof beams of the Taoist temple fell down, and he took out an abacus out of nowhere, obviously well prepared.After crackling for a while, he said to Gong Jiu: "Master, I don't think I can pay back the money even if I sell ten Condor Heroes. At least, this amount..."

The dark guards made a comparison of eight.

Yang Guo swallowed his saliva: "8 taels...gold?"

The dark guard was expressionless: "The Condor Hero was joking, it's eight-figure gold."

Yang Guo's heart almost stopped suddenly.

Before Yang Guo wanted to speak, Gong Jiu shook his head and said, "The Daoist is drunk, the silver and gold are used to help the disaster-stricken or poverty-stricken people in Song Dynasty. Once smashed, I don’t know how many more people will not receive relief, and will suffer somewhere in the world..."

Yang Guo was about to suffocate: "Master Ninth!" He glanced at his aunt who was already showing sadness, and said sincerely to Mo Qi, "I'm really sorry, my aunt and I never thought it would cause such a consequence..."

Xiao Longnv said before Yang Guo stopped her, "We will try our best to repay it."

Yang Guo covered his face again.

Gong Jiu's expressionless cold face finally evoked a smile, but this smile was very cold, very cold, so cold that Yang Guo's hands were sweating: "How can I pay back the eight-figure gold?"

Li Anran watched from the sidelines for so long, and her original attitude towards Gong Jiu had changed from a dislike of "a mother-in-law looks at a daughter-in-law" to a pleasant surprise of "this daughter-in-law is good".

Gong Jiu's struggle for every inch is almost a perfect complement to Mo Qi's bad habit of giving in every step of the way.

Li Anran had already seen Gong Jiu's purpose, and immediately chimed in: "This can only be repaid if you sign a deed of selling yourself!"

Xiao Longnv froze for a moment: "Sell... the contract?"

Yang Guo continued to cover his face.

Gong Jiu crossed her arms and said, "You two, don't you plan to take responsibility for the mess you broke?"

Yang Guo put down his hands and said with difficulty: "There is no other way..."

Gong Jiu interrupted: "Do you have enough gold to rebuild this country?"

Yang Guo said weakly: "...No...No..."

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows: "Or, can you borrow enough gold to repay the debt?"

Yang Guo: "...No, it's not..."

Usually I don't think so, but now that I think about it, all the friends he knows are poor?Oh, Yaoshi Huang doesn't count.But he didn't have the face to ask Huang Yaoshi for eight figures of gold——

Yang Guo covered his face with his hands again: "Sign... sign, let's sign." He sighed, raised his head and said to Mo Qi, "I believe Daoist Mo will not let my aunt and I do bad things, right? "

Gong Jiu asked bluntly: "If you were asked to do it, would you do it?"

Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv shook their heads together.

Li Anran rolled his eyes: "That's all right, hurry up, I have pens and paper here." Li Anran ran into the study happily, brought out a bunch of things, and said enthusiastically, "Do you need cinnabar? Coincidentally Yes, I have them here too! They are all leftovers from practicing talismans before, good cinnabar!”

Mo Qi, who was still being stepped on by Gong Jiu: "..."

The one that was smashed seems to be my restaurant, and the owner of the contract seems to be me, but why is there no room for me to speak here?

...Forget it, I still want to think about how to get back the "Crown Conferment Ceremony".

Mo Qi sorted out all the grievances in his heart, when Gong Jiu grabbed his hand again, and pressed his thumb on the wet cinnabar, and pressed on the contract of sale that Gong Jiu had drawn up.In the process of pressing, I was disgusted and urged by my senior brother: "Why are you so slow, you still retract your hand, what are you retracting? You are not the one who wants to sell!"

Mo Qi couldn't help but stamped his handprint on the paper: ... But why do I feel like I'm also the one being betrayed?

Gong Jiu neatly folded the freshly released deed of prostitution, stuffed it into the sleeve of Mo Qi, and was extremely satisfied. Just as he was about to say something to finish, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then Dongfang Xing, who had never been Falling off the bed, there was a small sobbing sound from the pain of the fall.

Li Anran was already sitting on the chair, but when he heard the sound, he jumped up instantly, turned his head and ran inside, fell into a dizzy moment, bumped his head against the screen, and took a few steps back while covering his head, not having time to manage the pain Painless, swollen or not, bumped or not injured, clutching his dizzy head, he staggered into the room: "A Xing!"

Yang Guo was immersed in the shock of "I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have not experienced any ups and downs. Today, I actually fell under the rock I lifted and signed a contract of sale", when I suddenly heard two muffled sounds in the room. Noise, also slowed down.When he looked up, he saw Li Anran covering his head and rushing into the room, as if he was going to reincarnate.

Yang Guo thought honestly: Brother Li is really worried about the Oriental genius doctor, we misunderstood earlier, we really shouldn't.

Everyone followed into the inner room, and saw Dongfang Xing being rolled up by the quilt, wrapped into a silk cocoon, lying on the ground crying aggrievedly; and standing beside Dongfang Xing, squatting down and thinking Li Anran wanted to reach out and hug Dongfang Xing, but after a while he withdrew his hands and stood up, back and forth as if he was practicing squats.

Mo Qi: ...Brother, I'm getting silly again.

He stretched out his hands and hugged Dongfang Xing neatly, put him back on the bed again, untied the quilt wrapped around Dongfang Xing, and a foul smell came out.

Yang Guo subconsciously covered Xiaolongnv's nose: "Hey, what kind of smell is this? Why does it smell like urine?"

Mo Qi frowned, and lifted the quilt from Dongfang Xing's body, and sure enough, he saw a map surrounded by the quilt.

Goddess Xiaolong looked dignified, and took Yang Guo's hand away: "Before that, there has never been a miracle doctor from the East...well, bedwetting..."

Li Anran asked dryly: "Does this mean that his condition is getting worse?"

Mo Qi nodded: "Yes. But we have to wait. The medicinal ingredients in the medicinal bath are not complete. If these symptoms are caused by poison, using internal force to probe the situation in the brain will probably have the opposite effect."

Li Anran was silent for a while, the corners of his eyes turned red, then he raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, went forward to get the dirty quilt, carried Dongfang Xing down and lay down on the couch beside him, changed the sheets, quilt, Covered by the quilt, hugging the dirty bed: "Don't move, wait for me to come back and change his clothes."

"Ah?" Yang Guo stretched out half of his hands.

Xiao Longnu stretched out her hand silently and pulled Yang Guo's hand back.

Yang Guo didn't see anything wrong, Xiao Longnv didn't speak much, but she could clearly see Li Anran's expression and the way he looked at Dongfang Xing.

Li Anran went out quickly, and rushed back like a gust of wind, as if afraid that someone would secretly change Dongfang Xing's clothes while he was away.

Mo Qi led Gong Jiu and Xiao Longnv pulled Yang Guo out of the bedroom door, stood in the corridor blowing the cold wind, icy snow beads hit the faces of the four of them.

When Yang Guo raised his hand to shield Xiao Longnu from the snow, there was another sound of something being knocked down in the room, followed by Li Anran's shout: "A Xing! What are you going to do?!"

The bedroom door was pushed open with a creak, and Dongfang Xing, who had already changed her clothes, stumbled out, her eyes slightly straightened, and she walked out foolishly.

Li Anran chased him out from the door: "Where are you going?!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Mo Qi's mind: "When the ninth son and I discovered Dongfang Xing, he seemed to be yearning for a place, which seemed to be in the south."

Hearing this, Yang Guo couldn't help recalling: "Ah! That's right, the first time we saw the Eastern miracle doctor in Songxi, although he was surrounded by those hooligans, he still wanted to go south."

"Is it because there is something in the south of the town?" Gong Jiu pondered.

Mo Qi said to Li Anran: "Bring an umbrella, let's go with Dongfang Xing to the place he wants to go and see what is there that makes him want to go even after he becomes crazy."

·

·

Songxi Town is built on the mountain, and the terrain in the town is uneven. In addition, the snow is falling continuously and the snow is deep on the ground. Dongfang Xing's road is not stable at all. Unsteady.Li Anran was holding an umbrella for him in a respectful manner at first, but in the end he had to support Dongfang Xing halfway on his shoulder, lest the other party really take a step or fall.

Although Songxi Town is considered remote, there are actually quite a few people living in it.Most of them came to settle in Songxi Town where General Huang retired because of the name of General Mu Huang, thinking that with a general like Old General Huang in the town, Songxi Town would be very peaceful.

"People have never heard of death, but they are so stupid that they can't take care of themselves after eating, drinking and sleeping. Tell me, what's the difference between dying and dying?"

"Yeah yeah……"

"I heard that there was another fool in the east of the city yesterday."

"Don't mention it, how many days are not stupid in this city?"

"This is how to do ah!"

"Cold salad! General Huang is in charge of the world. Could it be possible that he can still control the sudden stupidity of a 40-year-old man in your family?"

Everyone followed Dongfang Xing all the way to the south, and heard a lot of gossip from passers-by.

"This is obviously a problem?" Yang Guo frowned and said, "How could it be possible for so many good-looking people to suddenly appear and become stupid for no reason? Ninth Young Master, what kind of person is that General Huang you're talking about?" ? If he is really a good general, how can he ignore such an obviously problematic situation?"

Gong Jiu: "On the battlefield, he must be a good general. Otherwise, the general in Bianjing would not have returned his resignation over and over again when General Huang said he was going to retire. There are indeed few generals available in Song Dynasty, and each one is very precious."

Gong Jiu paused for a moment, then took a look at Mo Qi: "--What's more, there is a general's nemesis here, but now I see one less."

Mo Qi had a complicated expression: "..."

Yang Guo asked, "Oh? How do you say that?"

Dongfang Xing walked slowly, seeing that it would take a while to get to where he was going, Yang Guo couldn't help wanting to gossip.

Gong Jiu didn't want to say it, but when he saw Li Anran, Mo Qi's senior brother, he couldn't help turning his head, looking a little eager to hear, so he said that from Yumen Pass to Manli, Mo Qi "killed" Tell me how many generals you have.

The hidden guards also followed slowly on the roof, thinking in unison in their hearts: Young Master Jiu really talked a lot today.

Looking at Li Anran, who was excited to listen and would look back from time to time, the hidden guards were as bright as a mirror: it wasn't because Daoist Mo's senior brother wanted to listen.

The point is, Mo Dao Chang's senior brother.

The story of Gong Jiu is not long. He is not very talkative, let alone a storyteller, but who made the things that happened in the past two months too many and wonderful.He briefly explained the matter and the case, and everyone had almost reached the southernmost edge of Songxi Town.

In fact, the further south you go, the less people there are on the side of the road, and the dilapidated houses that occasionally sit in the fields become more dilapidated.Dongfang Xing still didn't stop until he saw a shabby thatched hut whose roof was made of thatch.

"Where is this...?" Li Anran drove Dongfang Xing, and looked at the thatched hut suspiciously.

The cottage is very small, with only two rooms.The latrines are in the open air. Going to a latrine in this kind of snowy weather may directly cause sores on people's buttocks.

Dongfang Xing wandered back and forth in front of the two rooms, then pushed open the wooden door of one of the rooms and stepped in.

It was warm in the house.

Although from the outside, this thatched hut looks really shabby, but when everyone poked their heads inside, they realized that this small room was filled with all kinds of things full of life, and it was well organized. Bamboo dragonflies and rattles are scattered in different places in the room, and the beams and pillars of the house are covered with strange graffiti.

For example, flying side by side, a bird that is smaller than the other, such as a painted wolf with a round belly...it looks very interesting.

"Is this the child's room?" Yang Guo raised his head and surveyed the whole house.

Mo Qi's eyes fixed on one spot: "No."

"Huh?" Gong Jiu followed his gaze.

An old man with white hair and beard was shrinking in the corner of the room, looking at the crowd with horror on his face, with tears in his cloudy eyes, as if he was about to cry from fright.

"Ah!" Yang Guo hurriedly turned around and bowed to the old man, "Don't be afraid, old man, we are not evil people..."

Gong Jiu: "He doesn't understand."

Yang Guo: "Huh?"

Mo Qi lowered his eyes: "He is crazy too."

"You! Who are you!?"

While Yang Guo was still in shock, an angry questioning voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Why did you break into our thatched cottage! Get out!"

The young man outside the door rushed over in a few steps, his face flushed, and he raised his fist in a daze to hit the people in the room.

Yang Guo turned sideways, avoiding the fist, and grabbed the young man's fist with his left hand: "Medicine bag?"

The man was holding a large package of medicine in his hand, which was wrapped in paper.

"Let me go! Who are you?! What's the purpose of coming here?!" The man struggled, "Aren't you sent by those white-eyed wolves?! Tell you, as long as I have breath, I will definitely I won’t let you touch Old General Huang!”

Yang Guo was startled: "General Huang?" He turned his head abruptly, looking at the stupid old man shivering in the corner, "He, he is General Huang?!"

There was a puzzled expression on the young man's face, but it was quickly regained by vigilance: "Are you trying to lie to me?"

Yang Guo let go of the young man's arm: "What you lied to is true. Hey, don't you believe me?"

Yang Guo stepped aside and pointed at Gong Jiu: "Look at the fur coat this young man is wearing, huh? The white sable hair is pure, without a single variegation. Look at the pearls, round and lustrous, without a single blemish .Do you think the man who sent us has enough money to afford this fur coat?"

After Yang Guo finished talking about Gong Jiu, he pointed to Mo Qi again: "Look at this one again, look at this dark pattern, look at this embroidery worker, look at this thread again, they are all melted with gold! Do you think—"

The man lowered his arm: "Enough, I believe it."

He glared at the people in the room, and stood in front of General Huang: "Even if you weren't sent by those white-eyed wolves, it's wrong for you to break into private houses! Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

Gong Jiu raised his chin, and pointed in the direction of Dongfang Xing who was still standing still: "We followed him."

The man's expression changed.

Li Anran asked anxiously: "Have you seen Ah Xing... Is this the person I'm supporting?"

The man hesitated for a moment, put down the medicine bag by the table, nodded and said, "I've seen it before, he...he came to treat the old general's dementia."

Li Anran anxiously said: "Then why is he also crazy?!"

When the man was questioned like this, he couldn't help but angrily said: "How do I know?! I just invited a genius doctor to treat my old general. He didn't cure the old general, and he was also crazy. How do I know why!? I still I want to ask him why he didn't cure my general's illness!"

"What kind of miracle doctor..." The man scratched Dongfang Xing, who was standing beside him like a dumb man, with his eyes, while opening the medicine bag, "Bah, it's not because it can't be cured, so why don't you pretend to be stupid!"

Li Anran's eyes instantly turned red with anger: "What did you say—"

Gong Jiu blocked Li Anran: "Don't be so red-eyed."

Gong Jiu looked at the man, and said: "I can tell you, this Daoist Mo and I came to Songxi to handle the case. Now there are many people with dementia for no reason in Songxi, and we follow this oriental doctor all the way. Come and find your thatched hut."

The man stared at him: "What do you mean?!"

Before he had time to close his eyes completely, his neck felt cold.

A long and narrow sword was already across his neck.
