Dude, don't be spoiled

Chapter 27 Disciple, Good Eyes

After leaving the relief wall, Chu Han took Yu Zixi to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

"Master, where are we going now?" Yu Zixi asked after Chu Han.

Chu Han pointed to the moon cave door in front, and said, "I heard people say that every few days during the witch festival, there will be a lantern riddle party in the small garden behind, and I want to take you there to have a look."

Yu Zixi reached out and grabbed a piece of Chu Han's sleeve: "Yes."

Chu Han wanted to pull his sleeve out of Yu Zixi's hand, but he pulled it twice, but it didn't come out.He said, "Zixi."

Yu Zixi leaned on his shoulder, raised her face and said, "Huh?"

Chu Han opened his mouth: "It's okay." If you want to grab it, just grab it, as long as you don't tear your clothes.

The two walked along the gravel road to the door of the moon cave. When they turned a corner, they first saw a red line running across their eyes. There were many small golden bells hanging on the line. When the wind blew, the bells rang.

Outside the red line, there is a peach blossom tree covered with vermilion lanterns, and a red note with lantern riddles is hung under the lanterns.A dozen or so people stood under the tree, talking and laughing.

Next to the peach blossom tree, there is a stone niche. Under the dim yellow light from this stone niche, there is a table. In front of the table sits a white-haired old man wearing a blue ghost mask, with thin bones. But thin is not ugly, even a little elegant.

"You two young masters, are you here to guess lantern riddles?" Seeing them walking this way, the old man warmly greeted them.

Chu Han hummed, and was about to move forward when the old man waved his hands at them: "Don't worry, the lantern riddles in Caiyun Temple are different from those outside, you don't just guess which one you want, it depends on fate. You go back first .”

Yu Zixi frowned: "Go back?"

The old man nodded: "That's right. You all retreat to the Moon Cave Gate first, take a note from the wooden box on your left, and then follow the instructions on the note to find the corresponding lantern on the peach blossom tree and solve the corresponding puzzle." , and each person can only guess one, and no more guesses are allowed. If you guess right, the answer to the lantern riddle will solve a difficult problem you have recently, and if you guess wrong, the lantern will spontaneously ignite.”

Chu Han raised his eyebrows: "Solve the problem?" How come guessing a lantern riddle is like fortune-telling...

The old man smiled toothlessly: "Exactly."

Chu Han dubiously walked to the door of the Moon Cave, and he saw a black wooden box. There was a small round hole on the top of the wooden box, just enough to fit a hand in.

Chu Han took out a note, opened it, and saw the word "Quechen".

Yu Zixi glanced at the note and frowned: "What does this mean?"

Chu Han shook his head: "Let's go to the peach tree where the lantern is hung first."

The two circled around the peach blossom tree, Yu Zixi pointed to the lamp on the top of the tree and said: "Master, does the lantern riddle on the back of that lamp say Que Chen?"

Chu Han glanced at it from a distance, and said in disbelief, "Can you see the words on it?"

Yu Zixi nodded: "Yes."

Wow, young man, you have really good eyes... Chu Han stretched out his hand and hooked it, and the lamp hanging on the top of the peach blossom tree floated in front of Chu Han.

He untied the lantern riddle note, turned it over and saw that it really said "Quechen".

"It should be this one." Chu Han turned back to the side of the lantern riddle and read, "It's just in time to watch the sunset in front of the flowers, and Jian Nong's heart is the most lovesick."

As soon as he finished reading, Yu Zixi said, "It's a word for Mu."

Chu Han looked at him: "Guess so fast!"

Yu Zixi scratched his head: "I heard about this mystery before."

Chu Han snorted and asked, "What else?"

Yu Zixi was at a loss: "What else?"

Chu Han pointed to the riddle: "Look, type a name, a person's first name plus surname, at least two words."

Yu Zixi thought for a while, and said, "But the answer to the riddle is indeed only this one word."

At this time, the white-haired old man smiled and said, "Don't be so rigid. If the function of the reminder is only to let you find the corresponding lantern, wouldn't it be more convenient to write one, two, three."

Chu Han immediately said: "You mean, hints are also included in the riddle?"

The white-haired old man nodded: "Naturally."

Yu Zixi muttered: "Quechen, Mu, is this person called Mu Quechen?"

After a long while without seeing Chu Han answering, Yu Zixi called out, "Master?"

Chu Han suddenly came back to his senses, but his expression was not very good: "Quechen, it should not be a person's name, but... a place name."

"Place name?" Yu Zixi was puzzled.

"That's right." Chu Han said, "Zixi, do you still remember, who are the peak masters among the twelve peaks in Yunchuan?"

"Remember, there are two peak masters of the perishing path, namely Chunshan Taxue of Stepping Xuefeng and Quechen Peak..." Yu Zixi was stunned, "And Mu Qingyan of Queshen Peak!"

Mu Qingyan, the lord of Quechen Peak, is as famous as Lord Taxue. At the age of 200, he became famous all over the world because of his inexhaustible cultivation. He is also the older generation who moved mountains to fill the sea [-] years ago and ended the turmoil of Yunchuan's resentful spirits. One of the combat power.

It is said that 120 years ago, when an evil spirit made trouble in a certain place, Mu Qingyan went down the mountain to eliminate the evil spirits. Unfortunately, due to an accident, she died. Even the bones were not found, and even the sword "Kechen" that she carried was lost.

Chu Han looked at the red-bottomed riddle in his hand, and frowned: "If the answer to this riddle is really Mu Qingyan, I think I know whose skeleton was dug out from the corpse pit."

Yu Zixi said: "Master, what you mean is that the corpse belongs to Peak Master Mu?"

Chu Han nodded.According to the cultivation level and the time of death, Mu Qingyan fits perfectly with the skeleton found in the corpse pit.In addition, before guessing the riddle just now, the white-haired old man said that if he guessed correctly, the answer to the riddle could solve their recent problem. If this was true, then it was almost certain that the corpse belonged to Mu Qingyan.

Chu Han turned his head and asked the white-haired old man: "How can you be sure whether the answer to the riddle is right or wrong?"

"Easy." The old man handed over a pen, "Write the answer on the lamp, and you will know it naturally."

Chu Han said: "If we write on the lamp, wouldn't the lamp be useless?"

The old man smiled and said: "A lamp corresponds to a mystery, corresponds to a person, the mystery belongs to you, even if it is abolished, it's just that you can no longer get the answer, and it has no effect on others."

Chu Han glanced at him, and wrote Mu Qingyan's name on the lamp surface suspiciously.

At the moment when the pen was written, the flickering wick suddenly went out.

Since it was wrong for the lamp body to self-ignite, it should be right for the wick to self-extinguish now.Chu Han threw the lamp to the old man: "Just now you said that this answer to the riddle can solve our recent problems, is that true?"

The old man nodded: "It's absolutely true."

"Believe you for now, if it's not true, I will come again." Chu Hanxin said that I will come and cry you again.

After solving the lantern riddles, Chu Han and Yu Zixi went back to the station.

When they entered, Jiang Jue and Luo Changge were sitting in the lobby with gloomy faces.Seeing Chu Han come back, Luo Changge raised his hand first and said, "Ah Chu, I have something to discuss with you."

"Coincidentally, I also have something to tell you, so go ahead." Chu Han and Yu Zixi sat down side by side.

Luo Changge took out a note and put it in front of Chu Han: "There is news from Yunchuan."

Chu Han opened the note, and on it was Yun Mengsheng's handwriting, which said, "The master of the bones is my master of Yunchuan Quechen Peak. Please take the three of you back to Yunchuan as soon as possible."

Seeing that Chu Han and Yu Zixi were calmer than each other, Jiang was by no means calm: "Aren't you all surprised?"

Chu Han said expressionlessly, "Surprised."

Yu Zixi also nodded accordingly: "Yeah, I'm surprised."

Jiang Jue said, "Are you surprised?" There was clearly no expression on his face.

"I was surprised in advance." Chu Han pinched Huo Jue, and directly burned Yun Mengsheng's note.

Luo Changge: "What do you mean?"

Chu Han told them what had just happened in Caiyun Temple.

Jiang Jue said in surprise: "Are you sure that old man is not a magic stick?"

Chu Han took a sip of tea: "I did doubt it before, but after reading the news about the master, I think the word stick can be removed."

Luo Changge kept tapping on the table with his fingertips: "This kind of coincidence seems to be carefully calculated. If it is so, then the old man is not simple. Such a clever person, since I haven't seen a second one since I lost my chance and went crazy."

Chu Han took out a handful of melon seeds, and started nibbling again: "Isn't it time to feel sorry for these times, Jiang Jue, did you tell him in the content of the letter you passed on to the head that we have no way to remove the stains on the bones at present? resentment?"

The resentment of that corpse is too strong, if it is not removed or reduced, only those special characters like Chu Han can move, but this method is too energy-intensive, let alone from Guling to Yunchuan, I am afraid that it has not left Guling County , Chu Han died of exhaustion first.

"Of course I said it, and I'm not stupid. When the head replied, he gave us this." Jiang Jue took out a jade token from his pocket and put it on the table. Yuling, there is the remaining spiritual power of her life on it, although there is no way to get rid of those grievances, but it is still possible to suppress them."

"In that case, let's take the bones back to Yunchuan now," Chu Han said.

Chu Han didn't actually care about when the bones would be transported. What he cared about was how to end the dungeon of Guling as soon as possible while the situation was still under control. He didn't want Yu Zixi to go crazy, let alone fill the Evil Spirit Mountain.

If the little pervert is always so good, Chu Han doesn't mind if he stays by his side all the time.

"So urgent?" Luo Changge choked on his tea.

"It's too late to change, and the master didn't say that, let us transport the bones back as soon as possible." Chu Han said lightly.

Luo Changge spread his hands: "Okay, I have no objection."

Jiang Jue raised his sword and stood up: "I have no objection either."

Chu Han patted Yu Zixi's head: "What about you?"

Yu Zixi blinked, and said obediently: "I listen to Master."

After they all agreed, the four of them went to Yejiao Yizhuang...

The crows landed on the willow branches, facing the night wind, screaming in the night.

The last quarter moon hung in the sky, and the cold light shone into the empty Yizhuang through the broken leaky window.

"Fuck! Where's the corpse?" Jiang Jue said angrily.

When they came in, the bones that were originally placed in the center of Yizhuang had disappeared.

Luo Changge pointed to the sleepy monks outside the door, and couldn't hold back any longer: "Let them guard Yizhuang, they all sleep like fucking pigs!"

Chu Han didn't speak, and went out the door directly, and a water talisman hit the faces of those monks, making them sober.

"Damn it, who poured water on me?" A monk wiped off the water on his face, and as soon as he cursed, Chu Han grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

"Where are the bones?" Chu Han's voice was cold enough to make people tremble.

The monk trembled all over, and turned his head stiffly: "No, aren't you in the house?"

Chu Han kicked down the door and threw the monk into the room: "Look for yourself!"

The monk looked at the empty room and said in horror: "Just now, just now!"

"Who else came here besides us?" Chu Han asked.

The monk swallowed nervously: "No, no one has been here, I don't know."
