However, this is really Liu Ruiguang's inner workings. The truth is really not that exaggerated. It's just that he thinks so in his heart, and his fear of Liu Congdie becomes even deeper.
At dawn, Liu Congdie changed into a human form and woke up under Liu Ruiguang's eyes. He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ruiguang, who was staring at the dark circles, and his eyes became more and more confused.
"You don't seem to have slept well." She said to Liu Ruiguang.
Liu Ruiguang forced a smile: "Fortunately, I just woke up."
He didn't sleep all night, who knows what he saw.
I went to the county government office in a daze. Although it was no longer the previous dynasty, the furnishings and decorations here were still the same as before, all in the old style. As the county magistrate, I naturally knew about the past cases in this county.
After thinking hard, I remembered a strange case in Youzhuang's case in the early years. At that time, a woman came to sue a vixen for seducing her man, and said that the vixen was a real fox.
He wanted to go to the county magistrate to send someone to arrest the vixen. He said it with all his heart, but it was all unreasonable and vexatious in the eyes of people at the time. Especially the weird thing about the fox turning into a human being made it even more unreasonable for the woman, including himself. When he saw the woman at that time The person looked resolute, thinking she was messing around, and felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Every time the woman came, he would persuade her, saying how could a fox in the world turn into a human being
But later the woman stopped coming. I heard that Taoist Li took the vixen away for her.
This incident sounded so mysterious that he later thought that the woman was playing a double act with Taoist Li. The reason for doing this was to make Taoist Li famous. Now that he thought about it, maybe it wasn't the case.
Maybe it's true.
Can Taoist Li really take down the goblin
Liu Ruiguang was a little hesitant. It was hard to tell everyone about the existence of a goblin in his family. After all, he was the county magistrate, so he had to save his status and face.
But you can test your tone first.
Is that Taoist Li still there? It had been many years, and maybe he had passed away. Liu Ruiguang checked on Taoist Li's home and the person that day.
I found that he was still there, but he had just moved to the mountains, saying that he wanted to cultivate his moral character. However, to outsiders, it seemed a bit desolate for an old man to live alone in the mountains.
Liu Ruiguang went there in the afternoon. It still took half an hour to climb the mountain. This made Liu Ruiguang exhausted. He arrived at the door of Li Daoshi's house out of breath. He saw the smoke rising above his house and expected that he was lighting a fire to cook.
"Old man, are you there?" Liu Ruiguang stood outside the wall, staring at the hut inside.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Li walked out wearing a white washed Taoist robe. He also held a water ladle in his hand, which made Liu Ruiguang sure that he was cooking.
Seeing that it was Liu Ruiguang himself who came, Li Daoshi was a little surprised. He had been the county magistrate for many years, but even if the world changed, he was still the county magistrate.
"The county magistrate is here." He came over and greeted.
He opened the guardrail of the fence, smiled at Liu Ruiguang, and made a gesture to invite him in.
Seeing that he was breathing a little hastily, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was red and swollen, Taoist Li asked:
"The county magistrate came up to the mountain in person, you must be exhausted."
"Not tired, not tired."
Liu Ruiguang walked into the hut, sat down and took out a handkerchief from his body to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He looked around the hut. There were some yellow talisman papers on the wall, and a mahogany sword hung in the most conspicuous place. In his private mind, I thought that Daoshi Li should still do this for a living.
"You still recognize me." Liu Ruiguang stretched out his hand, put it in the basin that Taoist Li had just brought over, and washed it. There was a towel in it, which looked new, so he washed his face and said to Taoist Li. .
Li Daoshi smiled, the wrinkles on both sides of his eyes were very obvious, and he said:
"There is only one county magistrate, and our parent officials are naturally remembered by everyone."
Liu Ruiguang smiled and looked a little hesitant. He didn't know how to open the topic. Taoist Li saw that he was hesitant and refused to speak. He was worried about the stuffy rice in the pot. It wouldn't taste good after being delayed for a long time. Then he said:
"My lord, you look not only tired, but also haggard, but what happened?"
"It's not a big deal." Liu Ruiguang said reluctantly.
Li Daoshi sighed: "If it is not an unimportant matter, can the county magistrate climb such a high mountain and come to my house at sunset?"
"Forget it, let me ask you, could that fox really turn into a human?" Liu Ruiguang stared at Taoist Li very seriously.
Taoist Li pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"Does the county magistrate really want to ask, are there really mountain spirits and wild monsters in the world? Or is he simply asking about that incident back then? That was the case of Mrs. Wang suing the vixen?"
Liu Ruiguang saw that Taoist Li was also a smart man, so he said directly:
"I want to know if there really are mountain spirits and wild monsters?"
"Of course there are, but now there are fewer and fewer. I remember when I was young, it was called too many. There were many hiding in the mountains." Taoist Li thought of his childhood. It has been more than half a century.
Liu Ruiguang asked implicitly:
"Will they harm anyone?"
Taoist Li glanced at Liu Ruiguang and had some guesses in his mind. He was not in a hurry to confirm it and just said:
"Generally, mountain spirits and wild monsters do not live with people. They are afraid of being hunted and will try to stay away from humans. If they approach people, they will either repay a favor or take revenge. But after all, they are animals, and their wild nature cannot be changed. They have not read the books of sages, and they are even less humane. , so most of them come to take revenge."
These words made Liu Ruiguang's heart tremble. Maybe he was here for revenge
If the weasel at home really came to take revenge on him, what exactly did he do
I don’t quite understand it, and I don’t think too hard about it. In life, sometimes I offend someone without knowing it.
"It's okay to hide in the mountains safely. If someone comes out to harm others, I, Mr. Li, will not let him go. Sir, but a similar situation happened around you?" A trace of cruelty flashed in Li Daoshi's eyes, obviously towards the mountain spirit. Wild monsters are quite annoying and take these things as their own responsibilities.
Liu Ruiguang was still hesitating whether to say it or not. He thought about it and asked:
"Do you think I'm getting a lot older?"
Li Daoshi didn't know why at first, but after a little thought, he knew why Liu Ruiguang asked this question. However, he had only seen the county magistrate a handful of times, and he was not someone close to him. How could he know if he was getting older
But he still said:
"The county magistrate looks to be in his early fifties now."
"What?" Liu Ruiguang was stunned. He was told by the Taoist priest how many years older he was. So was he really much older
It must be that weasel spirit, Liu Ruiguang gritted his teeth, and inexplicable hatred spread in his heart. Just a short time together made him several years older. If he continued, he might not live for a few years.
So being with him is harming him, and she definitely has no good intentions. If she was good to him, how could she let him be like this
