"Are you sure that the Tiekou Divine Calculator is setting up a stall here?" Jiu Hui accompanied Lin Wei to search twice in the place where he was deceived, but he could not find the so-called Tiekou Divine Calculator.
Lin Ou nodded affirmatively: "The day I met him, he was here."
"Girl, who are you looking for?" The woman at the clothes mending stall next to her saw Jiu Hui and Zhi You walking back and forth twice with a cat and a bird, and said enthusiastically: "If you want to find someone, just ask me. That's right. I've been running a clothing repair stall here for more than ten years, and I'm very familiar with it."
"Auntie, I heard that there is a fortune teller nearby who is very good at telling fortunes. Why is he not here today?" Jiu Hui squatted in front of the stall and helped the woman organize the clothes on the stall.
"Are you talking about a crooked mouth?" The woman glanced at Jiu Hui, then looked at Zhiyou who was following her, waved her hands and whispered, "Little girl, auntie, let me tell you the truth, this crooked mouth You are just lying around and cheating, and you don't know how to tell fortunes at all. You and this man are both blessed, so there is no need for fortune telling. "
"I see. Fortunately, my aunt told me the truth, otherwise I would have been deceived." Jiu Hui was quick with her hands and feet and helped arrange the clothes on the stall: "Thank you, aunt."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The woman smiled happily, feeling that she had done another good deed.
When Jiu Hui walked to the corner, Lin Ou finally couldn't control the sadness in his heart.
"Liar, really a liar..." Its mung bean-like eyes were full of tears, and the feathers on its body had lost their luster: "My silver, my white silver."
"You don't care about your boss who has been in prison for three years. You only care about money?" Bai Qi flicked his tail and slapped Lin Yu twice. When he becomes the boss in the future, he will definitely not accept such stupidity and disloyalty. 's younger brother.
"The boss will not die in the Demon Suppression Prison, but if my money is gone, it will really be gone." Lin Yu retorted plausibly: "Do you know how hard it is to earn money?"
Seeing that the cat and the bird were about to quarrel, Jiu Hui frowned: "If you continue to quarrel, when others find out that you can speak human words and attract disciples from other major sects, I will not care about you."
Bai Qi and Lin Yu immediately became quiet. Bai Qi even meowed a few times, pretending to be a normal and ordinary cat.
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy meat buns." Jiu Hui was very satisfied with their knowledge. She and Zhi You turned around a few streets before finding the meat bun stall that Er Meow wanted to eat.
The meat bun stall is doing very well, and the few tables set up on the street are full of customers. When Jiu Hui was paying the bill, she heard several diners joking with a middle-aged man.
"Waizui Liu, you were beaten up just two days ago, and you came out to lie to me again today?"
"My little girl is fine. If he insists on saying that he is overcoming this or that, he deserves to be beaten to death."
Wrong mouth Liu
Jiu Hui looked at the middle-aged man. He was thin, with dark yellow skin. His beard and hair were all messy. He looked like he hadn't taken care of them for a few days. He had a yellowed cloth wrapped around his right leg, which made him look extremely sloppy. .
While chewing the meat buns, he cursed and replied: "A little girl has no brothers. What is her life if it is not to defeat others?"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The forest owl yelled crazily, flapping its wings and wanting to scratch the middle-aged man's face. It's this liar, it's him who defrauded me of two hundred taels!
"Mr. Liu, the fortune teller?" Jiu Hui walked to the middle-aged man and sat down: "I heard that you are a good fortune teller. Do you want to help me tell fortunes?"
"Girl, this man is a liar, don't believe his nonsense." Some diners were worried that Jiu Hui would be deceived, so they advised him: "If you really want to tell your fortune, go to Old Man Wang on the east corner, he charges less. "
"Thank you all, I came to see Mr. Liu today for an old matter." Jiu Hui thanked everyone and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Liu told the fortune of a junior in my family. The junior gave Mr. Liu two hundred taels of silver. My husband gave him a feather, I wonder if he still remembers it?"
"Two hundred taels?!" Everyone gasped, they had defrauded so much money, no wonder they came to the door.
"Waizui Liu, you really have lost your conscience, how dare you defraud people of so much money." A tall diner stood up and grabbed Waizui Liu: "You are here to watch, he is lame. My legs can’t run away, girl, please report to the City Lord’s Mansion and ask him to arrest him.”
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and report it to the city lord's palace." Everyone came to their senses and gave Jiu Hui advice: "I wonder if these two hundred taels can be recovered?"
"Don't accuse people unjustly. Although I, Old Liu, like to swindle some money, it is absolutely impossible to swindle two hundred taels." Waizui Liu struggled hard, "If you have the ability, call out the younger members of your family."
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The forest owl flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and soon disappeared.
"My little girl is fair and fair. You won't be deceived at first sight." How could the diners believe Wrigley Liu's sophistry and held him down with all their hands and feet. A young man walked up to Jiu Hui with a blushing face: "Girl, don't be afraid, I have asked my brother to report to the city lord's palace."
"Let me go, let me go." Waizui Liu struggled to no avail, and his face turned red and thick with anxiety: "I'm not afraid even if the people from the City Lord's Mansion come, no one can accuse me unjustly!"
"It's you who took my two hundred taels of silver!" At this time, a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old squeezed into the crowd. He jumped up and down with anger and explained clearly where and when he met the crooked Liu: " There were other people present that day, so you can’t deny it.”
Lin Ou is a bird demon, and he also has a loud voice when he transforms into a human form. Despite the chaos, his voice is still the loudest among the crowd.
Seeing that Lin Yu rolled up his sleeves and was about to start a fight with Waizui Liu, Jiu Hui retreated to Zhi You and whispered: "Why do I feel that Waizui Liu really has no impression of this matter?"
For ordinary people, two hundred taels of silver was a huge amount. Waizui Liu had defrauded Lin Eu of so much money. He shouldn't have reacted this way when he saw Lin Eu.
"I fell ill that day and slept at home for a whole day. I woke up when it was almost dark." Waizui Liu remembered it very clearly. He didn't know what happened that day. When he woke up, it was already evening, and he was worried that he was sick. , and even went to Huichun Hall to grab some medicine and take it back.
"The guys at Hui Chun Tang must still remember me. It was almost dark when I went to see the doctor!"
"You go to get medicine in the evening, and it won't delay you to go out and lie to people during the day." Someone familiar with Waizui Liu exposed his lie: "I clearly saw you that morning. You were holding a fortune-telling flag in your hand, and you were thinking. You went to cheat money and didn’t even pay attention to my greetings.”
"The young master is here!"
"I've met the young master!"
Seeing how trusting and welcoming the people were to Tao Xiangyi's arrival, Jiu Hui knew that the Tao family was highly respected in Taolin City. No wonder Tao Er went crazy on the street and no one beat him up. It turned out that it was all because of the respect of his father and elder brother.
Tao Xiangyi did not expect that Jiu Hui and Zhi You would be here, so he dismounted and saluted the two of them: "I wonder what you are doing when you enter the city?"
Jiu Hui smiled and pointed at Lin Ou and Waizui Liu who were blocked by the diners, and told what happened: "There may be something fishy in this matter. Let's accompany you to the city lord's government office."
The city guards took Waizui Liu away. Tao Xiangyi saw that Jiu Hui was still at the bun stall, so she stood by and waited for her.
"You all have just met me by chance, but you are willing to help me. I would like to thank you all." Jiu Hui took out a few grains of silver and handed them to the boss of the bun shop, and helped everyone pay for the buns: "The new year is coming, I wish everyone a safe new year. , good luck in the coming year.”
The buns didn't cost a lot of money. Everyone accepted Jiu Hui's treat with a smile, and imitated Jiu Hui's example and returned the favor: "Good luck to everyone, good luck to everyone."
Tao Xiangyi watched this scene quietly, feeling a little touched in his heart. Over the years, he had helped his father guard Taolin City and had come into contact with many immortal cultivators, but he had never seen an immortal cultivator who blended in with ordinary people as perfectly as Jiu Hui.
These mortals who were joking with Jiu Hui did not know that they were helping immortal cultivators who did not need their help. So when Jiu Hui thanks them, they will be happy and satisfied, instead of feeling fearful and uneasy.
This is a normal thing, but for a high-ranking immortal cultivator, it is so unusual.
The City Lord's Mansion was very efficient and quickly found out that many people had indeed seen Waizui Liu setting up a fortune-telling stall on the day of the incident. The city guard also found a purse at the foot of Waizui Liu's bed, which contained exactly two hundred taels of silver.
"Young City Lord, I really don't know where this money comes from." Waizui Liu was at a loss as to why so many people had seen him that day, but he was clearly asleep until the evening.
Could it be, could it be haunted...
"Young City Master, I really have never done this. It must be haunted, yes, it is haunted!" Waizui Liu looked around in horror, fearing that an innocent soul would suddenly appear to seek his life.
Who is this ghost
Is it the old woman who jumped into the river because of his fortune-telling a year ago, or the old widow who died of illness after being defrauded of her money
Or have they all turned into ghosts to take revenge on him
"Fairy Jiufen, Immortal Zhiyou, look at it..." Tao Xiangyi was so frightened that he peed his pants when he saw the crooked mouth, and waved his hand to have him pulled aside.
"Could it be a robbery?" Lin Yu was so frightened that he went crazy when he saw Waizui Liu. He had some doubts about whether the person who told him his fortune was actually Waizui Liu.
"It's not about seizing the body." Jiu Hui took out three sticks of incense from Najie and lit it. The incense flew up in the air and circled Waizui Liu three times. The ignited smoke seemed to be afraid of getting close to his body and scattered around. On the fourth lap, the three sticks of incense suddenly broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
"This incense is called the incense to invite the gods. It uses building wood as a guide. Burning this incense can understand the heaven and the earth, and identify the three souls and seven souls." Jiu Hui bent down and picked up the broken incense: "If someone has been taken away, the smoke will It will enter the brain through the seven orifices. If it is not captured, the smoke will rise in a straight line to the sky."
"Jianmu?" Lin Ou's tongue was tangled: "Isn't Jianmu withered and broken long ago?"
"Well, so this is a family heirloom left by the elders in the village." Jiu Hui emphasized: "The more you use, the less it will be."
"Excuse me, Fairy Jiuhui, what is the meaning of this kind of smoke escaping around?" Tao Xiangyi didn't know Jianmu, and he didn't know how to ask about it: "It's neither a house taken away nor a house not taken away, what else can there be?" possible?"
Jiu Hui raised her head and stared at the sky. After a while, she slowly shook her head: "I don't know."
The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to snow.
Several people stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for an hour, and Lin Yu recovered his two hundred taels. Waizui Liu was taken to the prison of the City Lord's Mansion because he deceived people many times and indirectly killed innocent old people and widowed women. Judgment will be held on the same day.
Tao Xiangyi wanted to keep them for dinner, but Jiu Hui still wanted to take Zhi You shopping, so she said goodbye to the city lord's office.
Not long after leaving the city lord's office, it began to snow lightly.
"It's snowing."
"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and next year will be a good harvest."
Jiu Hui stopped and looked up at the falling snowflakes. The fine snowflakes were like catkins carried by the wind. She blinked and shook the snowflakes off her eyelashes: "It's snowing."
The children on the roadside jumped up and down with excitement because of the arrival of the first snow. The naughty children stuck out their tongues to taste the snow. The adults, who were worried about the children freezing, yelled at them to go back to the house, but they did not forget to look up at the falling snow, and then put a thick cotton coat on the children.
The snow fell harder and harder, and soon there was a thin layer of snow on Jiu Hui and Zhi You's hair. Infected by the joy of passers-by, Jiu Hui bought two bunches of red hawthorn balls and gave one to Zhi You: "It will make you feel better if you eat something sweet on a snowy day. Try it."
"I'm not in a bad mood." Zhiyou took the hawthorn ball and took a bite. It was so sour that his handsome face changed slightly.
He was just tired of the white snow all over the sky.
"It's so sour!" Jiu Fen was so sour from the hawthorn balls that her facial features were squeezed together: "This is not sweet at all."
Turning around, she saw that Zhiyou was already eating the third pill. She reached out and snatched it away: "You are so sore that your eyebrows are wrinkled. Don't eat it."
Zhiyou licked the icing sugar on his lips: "It's not very sour."
"But it's not sweet enough." Jiufen put away the hawthorn balls: "Don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable."
"Let's go." Jiu Hui pulled up his wide sleeves: "There is a candy ball seller in front. I will take you to try it."
"Boss, Tangqiu, can you pour some sugar juice on us?"
"Thank you boss, I wish you a big fortune."
"Boss, here are two peach blossom cakes, I want them freshly baked."
"The boss's sugar pancakes are so delicious. Will you come again on New Year's Eve?"
"Yes, yes, I just moved to Taolin City not long ago. My family is very strict and I rarely go out on weekdays."
Bai Qi followed the two of them with difficulty on his four fat legs. The snow was falling harder and harder, and there was already a layer of snow on the road. He looked at the little demon girl chatting with the stall owner while eating, and sneered.
These mortals call each other "girl" happily. If they know that she is a monster, why not be scared to death
"Boss, help me cook two bowls of glutinous rice dumplings." Jiu Hui took Zhi You and sat down at a stall selling glutinous rice balls: "Zhi You, what kind of filling do you like?"
Zhiyou shook his head blankly: "I don't know."
He had never gone shopping with anyone before, and he didn't know what food there was in the world.
"Then one bowl of sesame stuffing and one bowl of peanut stuffing." Jiu Hui patted the snow off her shoulders: "I'll give you half of mine later, and you can try both."
"Please wait a moment, sir. It will be ready soon." The stall owner is a woman in her twenties. Compared with others, her clothes are a little thin, but she moves quickly and cooks two bowls quickly. The glutinous rice balls come out.
"Try this from me first, do you like it?" Jiu Hui gave the dumplings in her bowl to Zhi You, waiting for him to speak.
Zhiyou scooped up the glutinous rice balls given by Jiu Hui with a spoon and took a bite. The glutinous rice balls burst open and the hot filling came out. The filling was very sweet and fragrant.
"Isn't it delicious?" Jiu Hui looked at him with a smile.
Zhiyou nodded.
"You may not like snow, but you can try the delicacies that you like in the snow." Jiu Hui divided another glutinous rice dumpling into Zhi You's bowl: "The road to cultivation is long, and happy and unhappy things may happen. We must work hard to make it better. Be happy yourself."
The hazy hot air turned into white mist and hovered in the air. Zhiyou lowered his eyelids and said, "Yeah."
When the light snow turned into heavy snow, Jiu Hui glanced at the busy stall owner. A little fluffy tail tip was exposed under the stall owner's skirt.
"Boss, pay the bill." A big man stood up and stood in front of the stall owner, just blocking Jiu Hui's sight.
"Boss Song, the medicine you gave me yesterday was very effective. I took it once at night, and my waist doesn't hurt anymore when I wake up today." The big man paid the bill and said loudly: "It's snowing so hard, you are setting up a stall outside alone. It’s not safe. What if someone comes to trouble you? Just close the stall and go back.”
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and close the stall." An aunt came over and blocked Boss Song even more tightly: "Hurry up now and I'll help you close the stall."
"Boss, the glutinous rice balls you made are delicious. We will come again next time." Jiu Hui looked away and smiled. She put down the broken silver: "It's cold, you go home early."
After Jiu Hui and Zhi You left, the aunt and the man who were helping to close the stall secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Did the girl just now not notice
On the way back, Bai Qi observed Jiu Hui's face, and when he saw there was no abnormal expression, he said, "Why did you let that squirrel demon go?"
"She has the aura of merit and virtue and is a good demon. Even the mortals who know her true identity are trying their best to cover it up for her. Why should I deal with her?" Jiu Hui stretched out her hand to catch the falling snow: "Crooked Mouth Liu is a human being. , she is a demon, but who is more hateful among them?"
"If you ask me, those two mortals are so courageous, they dare to protect the monster." Thinking of the bitter past when he was chased by humans for fear of being chased, Bai Qi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "You Wangshu Pavilion is not doing something right, and the city you are protecting will be affected." Something is wrong with the people.”
This squirrel demon was of low cultivation and could not control the demonic aura on his body at all. He did not believe that Wangshu Pavilion had never discovered it.
"How did you know that something was wrong with us, not outside..." Jiu Hui paused and looked at the stream of light speeding ahead, pulling Zhi You sideways to avoid it. She took off her shawl, which was as flexible as a dragon, and whipped it hard on the leaving Liuguang.
"Ouch." Liu Guang fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain. Unexpectedly, he was still an acquaintance.
"It's you again! The high-altitude sword flies so fast, you don't want to kill others!" Jiu Hui let go of Zhi You, put her hands on her hips: "You're celebrating the New Year, don't force me to slap you."
Zhi You looked at Jiu Hui who stood in front of him without hesitation, slowly lowered his head, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The eldest disciple of the Shenji Sect, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen from the fall, was lying on the snow. He looked at Jiu Hui who was stepping on the flying sword, and desperately reached out to cover the purse around his waist.
He is really out of money!
