Luo Xunjian was overjoyed when he received the news sent by Ye Xiaotian, and immediately led his people to the cottage of "One-stop". Under the wise command of Luo Xunjian, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department fought bravely and were invincible, and quickly occupied Long Lingyun's lair with lightning speed.
In the fierce battle to conquer the bandit's lair, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department won the victory with absolute advantage because of their well-trained, brave combat and proper tactics. Nineteen people.
Among the seven seriously injured, some were stung by wild poisonous peaks, some were bitten by poisonous snakes, some were wounded by poisonous ants, some were stabbed by poisonous flower vines, and some were blinded by the juice splashed by poisonous arrow trees. The serious one was stabbed by a bandit pretending to be dead.
However, all of their injuries were injuries suffered in the battle with a dragon bandit. As for poisonous injuries... Who said bandits can't be masters of poison
On the way back to Hu County, Ye Xiaotian and his party escorted the captives and Sheng Miao, who thought they were bulky and did not take away some belongings, so they sent Zhou Bantou to rush back to the county government to report the letter.
How could Ye Xiaotian forget his brother at such an opportunity to enjoy meritorious service? Bantou Zhou, Su Xuntian, Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others all followed, but they didn't even enter the forest, and only walked outside the forest. A shed was built beside it, which is called "supply of military supplies".
After the news came back to the county government, Huazhi County was overjoyed, and immediately reported the good news to Tongren Mansion in the form of an official document.
The triumphant returning team was warmly welcomed by the elders of Huxian County. The heads of Long Lingyun and the Thirteen Eagles under his command were hung on the top of the city under the orders of Huazhi County. Some disabled and surrendered bandits were put in prison. , Waiting for Tongren Prefecture to send people to liberate them.
Ye Xiaotian accompanied the spring-faced Huazhi County to deal with the rewards and condolences from the elders of Huxian County and the jealous or envious congratulations of Huxian County officials, so he dragged Huazhi County, who was reluctant to leave this lively scene, to the third hall, and "a swarm of bees" The news of the infighting with "Yilong" was whispered to him.
Hua Qingfeng's face was full of joy when he heard it, and he disappeared immediately. If Long Lingyun and the Thirteen Eagles under his command were all killed by the "swarm of bees", then the government's contribution to the "one-stop" extermination of the bandits will be greatly reduced Yes, but Lin Yuanwai is the party involved in this matter, and he must not be able to hide it.
Hua Qingfeng took the courage to make a decision with great difficulty, and he got such great credit. He really didn't want to affect his political achievements because of the inexplicable "swarm of bees". Hua Qingfeng thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: " This matter must be discussed with the magistrate, so as to have a satisfactory idea. How about this, the county will personally escort Lin Yuanwai to Tongren tomorrow morning, and report this matter to the magistrate!"
This sentence hit Ye Xiaotian's heart, Hua Qingfeng is the official seal of a county, this credit is indispensable no matter what, but the main credit is still Ye Xiaotian, but if the "swarm of bees" is involved, his credit is nothing Prominent too.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Very good! I believe the magistrate doesn't want to let a 'swarm of bees' interfere with this good thing! I hereby wish you success!"
After leaving the third hall, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help thinking of the words said by the leader of the "swarm of bees" of Lin Yuanwai School: "I didn't expect him to find here, but the old man underestimated him!"
Why not "government", not "they", but "he"? Who is he referring to, if it's me, then... Ye Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly.
※※※
In a large hall of Gu Temple, silver bells rang rhythmically.
Sunlight slanted in from the bracket-shaped window, and it was shining on a black altar with a big belly and a small mouth. A white hand, as white as jade, was holding a wooden pestle, and was pounding in the black altar, and the altar made a "puff" sound. The sound seemed to be that some kind of insect was being pounded into a pulp, but the strange thing was that the fragrance emitted from the altar was like flowers.
Following the gentle movement of the jade hand, the string of silver bells tied around Hao's wrist danced happily, and the sunlight reflected on the silver bells, emitting dazzling brilliance. The light reflected by the silver bell reflected on the girl's beautiful face again, as if the water was shining.
"Master, how about the altar Gu?" The pretty little girl in Miao clothes who was pounding the jar like garlic was Sister Sun. old woman character color guy.
The three-foot-square stone slab in the center of the room was pried up. Below it was a pit. The depth of the pit was level with the ground. You could see that there were many jars neatly stacked inside. The ground is a few inches lower to allow the flagstones to cover it.
Ge Cai shook his head lightly, regretfully said: "This altar is also dead, it seems that I should choose another place, this pit for raising Gu may not be easy to use."
Sister Sun pursed her lips, and said hesitantly: "Uh...Master, I heard people from the outside world say that we Gu masters are omnipotent, so why are the Gu you raise either used to harm people or to save people? "
Ge Cai couldn't help laughing, and said: "Silly boy, it's so hard to raise Gu. If it can't be used to save or harm people, what is the use of raising it?"
Sister Sun rolled her eyes and didn't speak, her face was a little red at first: "Uh... For example, let people have children to decide whether to have a boy or a girl. My sister-in-law in the lobby gave birth to six children, all of whom are girls. The eldest cousin is unhappy all day long, if only there is a male birth gu."
"Whimsical..."
Ge Cai, who is always serious in front of people, is unusually kind in front of his little apprentice whom he loves like his own granddaughter. His mouth that has lost all his teeth is pursed, and the wrinkles on his face become more finely wrinkled when he smiles: "If the ancestors I have devoted myself to studying this thing, or there is really some Gu in the world that determines whether to have a boy or a girl. Anyway, my master never taught me, and I have never thought about this thing. Hehe... "
Ge Cai took another jar, smacked his lips, and shook his head lightly, it seems that the Gu raised in this jar also failed. Sister Sun said disappointedly: "Is that so...then... then, is there any way, master, to make a man fall in love with you?"
Ge Cai laughed loudly: "You kid, you are just teasing the master. Look at how old the master is. If you want a man to like it, you have to like it wholeheartedly, unless you turn the man into a lunatic."
Sister Sun's pretty face turned hot, and she said cheekily: "Master, they mean... they mean me."
"You?" Mr. Ge Cai glanced at her, and said with a smile: "A cute girl like you, a man will fall in love with you at the first sight, and he promises to be devoted to you."
Younger Sister Sun pouted and said unhappily: "Master will talk nicely to coax people, that person is blind, but he just doesn't like him, what should I do?"
Ge Cai was startled, and said: "What, you like a blind man?"
Sister Sun was so angry that she put down her troublemaker, and said to the master, "It's not that I'm really blind, I mean, he has blind eyes, so he can't see how people treat him well."
Ge Cai said "Oh", put down the jar and walked to Sister Sun, tsk-tsk said: "Oh, my precious little apprentice really has a sweetheart. Tell the master, which village he is from, he must be very outstanding The only way to win your heart is to win your heart?"
Sister Sun said: "He is... he... Master, please tell me first, is there any way?"
Mr. Ge Cai sighed and said: "Girl, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The human heart is the most difficult thing in the world. Who can guarantee that a person's mind will be on you, and it will never change?
However, if you really like him, just cast a Gu on him, if he dares to leave you, tell him that life would be worse than death! My precious apprentice is not an ugly girl, such a beautiful woman, coupled with the threat of poison, I don't believe there is any man in this world who would dare to betray you! "
Sister Sun said distressedly: "But he is invulnerable!"
"Um?"
Mr. Ge Cai's dim old eyes suddenly became sharper, he stared at Sister Sun brightly, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, that man you like... who is it?"
"Ah! I... I..."
Sister Sun panicked, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Master, let's continue building altars, there are still several jars, maybe there will be Gu developed."
Ge Cai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "You girl, you have a habit of beating children. When you want to tell a lie, you like to talk about it. Tell the master, who is the man you like? ?”
"me… "
Sister Sun was forced to be helpless by her master, she said pitifully: "Master, can you stop asking?"
Mr. Ge Cai stared at her without saying a word, while Sister Sun lowered her head lightly under the watch of the master, twisted the corner of her clothes, like a child who made a mistake, and said timidly: "Yes...is the venerable...godfather...brother? "
Mr. Ge Cai frowned his snow-white eyebrows and said, "What's the name?"
Sister Sun said awkwardly: "He said... He said that we are not very old, don't want me to follow my brother to call him Godfather, just call him Brother Xiaotian." I was not happy about His Holiness' offense.
Guy Gecai thought for a while, and said to Sister Sun: "Come on, put down the jar, sit down, and tell me everything about you honestly!"
Half an hour later, Sister Sun finally finished speaking, and she glanced timidly at the master, only to see this old woman over eighty years old sitting there, her eyes were staring, her face expressionless. Younger Sister Sun whispered, "Master, are you unhappy?"
Gecai murmured: "Yes! Yes..."
Sister Sun lowered her head and said dejectedly: "I know, she is a little wishful thinking. She is just a wild girl in the mountains, how can she be worthy of... Master, don't be angry, it's a big deal... I don't want to think about it anymore..."
Sister Sun said, crystal clear teardrops rolled in her eyes. Ge Cai didn't hear what she said at all, the oldest elder of the Gu Cult stood up excitedly, turned around in the room, and muttered to himself: "We old guys, we have been in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time. , my head has turned into an elm lump, why didn't I think of it."
Sister Sun asked timidly, "Master, what did you not think of?"
Ge Cai clapped his palms together, and said: "He just wants to marry a wife and have children, and leave a descendant! Why should we let him travel around the world for so long, so that there will be no venerable in my divine religion for twenty years. Pick a few women Give him the doll and let him give birth at will, will he still have an excuse not to return to his place when the time comes?"
Sister Sun, who has always been outspoken, complained unhappily when she heard this: "Master, the fat water is not flowing into other people's fields, how can you turn your elbows outside! Can't people give birth?"
