Chapter Four Hundred and Forty Seven: Grace and Righteousness! (~)
"Master Mao, we have received a large number of reports from the public saying that you are related to a curse that harms people."
That same day, mid-afternoon.
Song Zilong, the captain of the police station, came to Fuxi Hall with four of his men and said with an embarrassed look on his face.
In the past few years, Mao Xiaofang had helped him solve many problems, and the two had more or less friendships.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many reporters and that these reporters reported with their real names, he wouldn't have come here at all today!
In Fuxi Hall, in front of the statue of the Patriarch, Mao Xiaofang was stunned.
After a long time, he even couldn't help but laugh out loud: "How many reports are there?"
These villagers are so realistic!
Seeing that "Master Lei" was willing to help them, he turned around and slapped "Master Mao" into the mud pit.
"A total of forty-nine real-name reports." Song Zilong sighed: "Master Mao, I didn't want to come."
"I understand." Mao Xiaofang said, "Do you need me to go back to the police station with you to record a statement?"
Seeing his smile at this moment, Song Zilong was slightly stunned.
For some reason, I suddenly found that there seemed to be an extra layer of distance between them, and they were no longer as close as before.
What he didn't know was that the wall was built piece by piece by the villagers who worked tirelessly. There was no straw that broke the camel's back, it was just building it higher and thicker!
It seems that everyone has misunderstood something.
Integrity ≠ stupidity.
Loyalty ≠ naive.
Kindness ≠ dog-licking.
Stubbornness ≠ brainless.
Mao Xiaofang is a person with normal psychology and does not have any pua tendencies. Others have treated him like this. If he puts his heart and soul into helping others, he will not be called a holy mother. He will be called a fool!
"Captain Song, are you okay?" Seeing that he was suddenly stunned, Mao Xiaofang stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.
Song Zilong woke up from his dream and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, what did you just say?"
"I asked if I needed to go to the police station to record a statement." Mao Xiaofang said again.
Song Zilong nodded: "I'm going to give you a hard time."
Mao Xiaofang breathed out softly, turned to look at the two nervous disciples, and ordered: "After I leave, you two must listen to Daoist Master Qin, and don't listen to anyone except his words.
"
The two apprentices were stunned, and Xiaohai said quickly: "Master, don't you listen to what you say?"
Mao Xiaofang frowned: "Isn't what I just stated obvious enough?"
"I understand, Master." Xiao Hai said immediately.
Ah Chu paused slightly and said, "Yes, Master."
Mao Xiaofang glanced at Ah Chu emphatically, then clasped his fists at Qin Yao and said, "Taoist Master Qin, I leave these two incompetent disciples to you."
In front of the guest chair, Qin Yao smiled slightly and said: "As long as they are willing to listen to me, I will not watch them run into the abyss."
Mao Xiaofang smiled from the bottom of his heart and turned to look at Song Zilong: "Okay, Captain Song, let's go."
"Master..." When Mao Xiaofang followed the police uniforms out of the main hall, Xiao Hai couldn't help shouting.
"Remember, listen to Daochang Qin." Mao Xiaofang waved his hand and followed the police uniforms away.
"Dao Zhang Qin, will my master be okay?" Xiao Hai clenched his fists as if grasping a life-saving straw and looked at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao said: "Don't make a fuss. It's nothing. Have more faith in your master. Also, if someone calls you for help, don't go."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and Ah Chu hesitated and said: "There is someone here, who is he?"
"It refers to everyone." Qin Yao said solemnly: "These are troubled times, and someone is planning to harm your master. You'd better stay in Fuxi Hall and don't let him worry about you anymore, or even clean up the mess for you."
Xiao Hai and Ah Chu looked at each other, then agreed in unison.
Half an hour later, Axiu, who was wearing a light gray short skirt, strode into the Taoist temple and went straight to Achu, who was identifying herbs with her senior brother: "Follow me."
"Where are you going?" Ah Chu asked blankly, holding a herb in his hand.
"My father is looking for you." Axiu glanced at Xiaohai and said calmly.
Hearing that it was Master Xiangxun, Ah Chu immediately put down the herbs in his hand, picked up a rag and wiped his palms: "Where is Master?"
If it's something else, forget it, but if Master has something to do, he won't hold back at all!
"Ah Chu." Just as he turned around to leave, Xiao Hai suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"Have you forgotten Taoist Qin's instructions?"
"Master uncle is not a bad person..." Ah Chu paused slightly and argued.
Lei Xiu was watching from here. It was not convenient for Xiao Hai to say anything sensitive, so he only said: "Master asked us to obey Daoist Master Qin in everything..."
Ah Chu frowned and said, "Senior brother, we are not children anymore, we need to have our own thinking and judgment.
Master asked us to listen to Taoist Qin, because he was afraid that something would happen to us, not to let Taoist Qin control us. Now the uncle is summoned, and with the uncle here, what do you think will happen? "
Little sea:"……"
This seems to make sense at first glance.
"Okay, you two, stop bickering. Ah Chu, do you want to go there or not?"
Lei Xiu became a little impatient and waved his hand in front of the two of them.
"Go, of course." Ah Chu opened Xiao Hai's fingers and said quickly.
Xiao Haimumu watched the two people leaving together in a daze. For some reason, something seemed to be missing in her heart, and she felt empty.
"Senior sister, what does uncle want from me?" Ah Chu asked immediately after walking out of the Taoist temple.
"My dad wants to teach you something." Lei Xiu finished speaking, paused slightly, and then added: "He appreciates you very much."
Ah Chu pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle, you are so kind to me."
"Is it my father who is good to you, or Master Mao?" Lei Xiu asked seemingly casually.
Ah Chu's smile froze, and countless stern faces of his master flashed through his mind, and finally he settled on the image of his master holding up a cane to expel him from the school, and he said against his will: "They are all good, they are all good.
"

It is said that a strict teacher makes a good disciple, but this situation generally applies to the gratitude of a disciple after he becomes a disciple.
With their feet still treading in the mud, there are no flowers or applause around them. As a disciple, their favorable impression of Master Yan is far lower than that of Master Yan, even though Master Yan can help them improve themselves more.
If the disciple's consciousness is lower, he may even hate Master Yan.
In the current situation, there is another very critical point. Yu Dachu and Xiao Hai are different. The latter was brought up by Mao Xiaofang, and they share the same love as father and son. The former and Mao Xiaofang only have a simple master-disciple relationship, and Mao Xiaofang may be able to treat them equally.
, but Yu Dachu will definitely not regard Mao Xiaofang as his father.
"Achu, have you ever felt that something has been wrong with your master recently?"
Late at night, on the way back to Fuxitang from the petrochemical villagers' home, Lei Gang suddenly asked.
Ah Chu was startled for a moment and thought seriously: "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Lei Gang: "I feel that your master is becoming cold-blooded little by little. For example, in the past, would your master not save these petrified villagers? Even if he was misunderstood by the villagers."
Ah Chu: "..."
Probably not?
"I suspect that your master has been poisoned." Lei Gang glanced at him and whispered.
Ah Chu's heart pounded: "What kind of poison?"
"There is a kind of poison that can make people gradually become ruthless and righteous, and eventually destroy humanity." Lei Gang said, and suddenly mentioned: "I think if he hadn't been infected by this kind of poison, he wouldn't have to do anything for a trivial matter.
Shall we expel you from the school?"
At this moment, the words "expelled from the master's sect" have become a scar in Ah Chu's heart. It hurts when he mentions it: "Master, is there any way to test it?"
"Yes, yes, but..." Lei Gang hesitated.
"But what?"
"If the level of the Gu insect in your master's body is too high and the strength is too strong, using detection methods may stimulate it, resulting in some overreactions." Lei Gang said.
"Then what should we do?" Ah Chu asked at a loss.
Lei Gang shook his head and said: "I don't know what to do..."
Thinking that his master was gradually turning into a heartless and righteous person, Ah Chu felt a little chilly in his heart: "Uncle, if there is a poison detected, are you sure you can remove the poison for master?"
"It's easy to solve the poison, but it's hard to judge." Lei Gang said: "I'm probably 80% sure."
"That's enough." Ah Chu bowed and said, "Master, please check it out."
Lei Gang shook his head: "Don't you see? He now listens to outsiders and is deeply wary of me. I have no chance to make a move."
Ah Chu understood and said, "How to detect it?"
Lei Gang took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Ah Chu: "There is a pill in it. It is colorless and odorless when dissolved in water. You can find a way to let the junior brother eat it to test whether there is any in his body.
Gu insect."
The trust gained previously was implemented here. Ah Chu took the porcelain bottle without much hesitation: "Then let's give it a try to him when the master comes back tomorrow."
"Good boy." Lei Gang nodded and said, "Remember, you must be careful with the Qin people when administering the medicine, otherwise I'm afraid there will be big trouble..."
"I know, uncle." Ah Chu nodded.
Early next morning.
Mao Xiaofang returned to Fuxi Hall intact, and everyone immediately greeted him...
"Are you okay, junior brother?" Lei Gang asked with concern on his face.
"It's okay." Mao Xiaofang said, "How are you busy over there, senior brother?"
"Fortunately, I'm getting ready to go out." Lei Gang said.
"Are you not cursed?" Mao Xiaofang suddenly asked.
Lei Gang shook his head: "Not yet, maybe it's because I ate a lot of poisonous fruits in Nanyang, and the poison in my body far exceeds the power of the curse."
Mao Xiaofang's eyes flashed: "That's really lucky!"
"No more chatting, I have to continue my work." Lei Gang waved his hand, and Lei Xiu stepped forward spontaneously, helping him gradually go away.
"Master Qin, is there nothing wrong?" Mao Xiaofang looked away and looked at Qin Yao.
"Apart from Ah Chu not listening to me and insisting on going out with Taoist Lei to save people, there is nothing else." Qin Yao said.
Mao Xiaofang's face froze and he said solemnly: "Ah Chu, did Senior Brother Lei say anything to you?"
Ah Chu quickly shook his head and said, "You just asked me to help, and you didn't say anything."
Mao Xiaofang stared at him for a while. Seeing that his face remained expressionless and his eyes were firm, he withdrew his gaze.
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Hai cooked the meal, Ah Chu set out the tea and bowls, and all the residents in the Fuxi Hall gathered together except the Lei family and his daughter who had not yet returned.
"Taoist Master Qin, after Brother Lei comes back tonight, I will have a good talk with him. After the talk, shall we set off early tomorrow morning?"
"Okay." Qin Yao nodded slightly.
Ah Chu felt nervous and asked hurriedly: "Master, Taoist Master Qin, where are you going?"
Mao Xiaofang put down Kuaizi and said with a serious face: "If you go to Maoshan, you may not come back in a short time. Xiaohai, Achu, are you willing to leave your hometown and go to Maoshan with me?"
Ah Chu's body trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Mao Xiaofang in disbelief.
He couldn't imagine that as the current head of Fuxi Hall, how could Master abandon Fuxi Hall!
Suddenly, a word came to mind...
insanity.
The Gu insect must have controlled the master!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief at his choice.
"I will go wherever Master goes." At this time, Xiao Hai said without thinking.
Ah Chu echoed: "Me too."
Mao Xiaofang looked at the two apprentices with a look of relief, nodded slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
It's approaching evening.
Mao Xiaofang, who was cleaning the courtyard with his apprentices, suddenly trembled, then bent his waist, opened his mouth and spat out a stream of dirty blood, and staggered.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Hai quickly threw away the broom in his hand and reached out to hold Mao Xiaofang's arm.
Qin Yao teleported in front of them, reached out and pinched Mao Xiaofang's wrist, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Yu Dachu with a scrutinizing gaze: "Did you poison me?"
"Poison?" Ah Chu paused and waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't poison him!"
Qin Yao let go of Mao Xiaofang's wrist, grabbed A Chu's neck, and said coldly: "Be honest, don't force me to search your soul memory."
"Master Qin, what are you doing?" At this time, Lei Gang suddenly led Lei Xiu into the yard and shouted loudly.
"What a coincidence that Chief Lei is back." Qin Yao mocked.
Lei Gang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"He asked you to poison him, right?" Qin Yao threw Yu Dachu to the ground, stepped on his chest, and pointed at Lei Gang.
"I didn't poison him!" Ah Chu emphasized again.
"Then please explain to me why your master's skills are dissolving rapidly?" Qin Yao asked.
Ah Chu was dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at Lei Gang.
"Stop shouting about catching a thief." Lei Gang said: "It was obviously you who poisoned my junior brother, but now the poison is causing trouble, which has just caused this situation to happen."
"Yes, that's right." Ah Chu said loudly, "I am saving my master."
Qin Yao raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and cursed: "Idiot, if your master accepts you, you will be damned for eight lifetimes."
Mao Xiaofang took a deep look at Yu Dachu, then raised his head and looked at Lei Gang: "Senior brother, if you want this Fuxi Hall, I will give it to you. Why do you need to do this so well?"
Lei Gang: "Junior brother, you are too poisoned. Even now, you still can't tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy?"
Mao Xiaofang shook his head and looked sideways at Qin Yao: "Master Qin, I am a disabled person now. Can I still go to Maoshan to worship the mountain?"
"Of course." Qin Yao said without hesitation: "Maoshan's Master Tongxuan will definitely help you recover."
"Then let's go, Xiaohai, go pack your things." Mao Xiaofang said.
Qin Yao frowned: "Taoist Master Mao, he is like this, are you still unwilling to become his enemy?"
"the last time."
Mao Xiaofang whispered something, and seeing Qin Yao's brows looking a little gloomy, he couldn't help but add: "It was my master who raised me up since I was a child. Without my mentor, there would be no Mao Xiaofang today."
Qin Yao: "..."
The remaining shadow of Lei Zhen has grown into a towering tree.
"Master, please quickly remove the poison from my master's body!" Ah Chu said loudly.
Lei Gang sighed and said: "This requires your master's cooperation, but looking at this situation, how do you get rid of the poison?"
Ah Chu's expression paused, and then he looked up at Mao Xiaofang: "Master, my uncle said that you were bewitched. Can you give him a chance to prove it? Didn't you notice? Since Taoist Master Qin came, you have gradually changed.
I feel less and less like myself.”
Mao Xiaofang: "???"
Why did I take on such a stupid apprentice?!
"Master, I have brought all the salutes."
At this time, Xiaohai took out two packages from the main hall and said softly.
Mao Xiaofang nodded and said to Ah Chu: "If you believe your uncle's words so much, you should stay in Fuxi Hall and follow him from now on."
Ah Chu was struck by lightning and was speechless for a moment.
"Junior brother, you abandoned Fuxitang like this, are you worthy of my father?" Lei Gang shouted.
"Senior brother, isn't it enough to cripple my cultivation?" Mao Xiaofang asked rhetorically.
Lei Gang insisted: "I did not destroy your cultivation!"
Mao Xiaofang shook his head, turned around and said, "Let's go, Taoist Qin."
"Stop!" Lei Gang shouted.
Qin Yao's eyes turned cold and he looked at Lei Gang: "Shut your stinky mouth, or do you believe I will sew it up right now?"
Lei Xiu tugged on his father's sleeve, not wanting to see the conflict between him and Taoist Qin escalate again.
Maybe it was because of the slap on the top of the mountain, or maybe she had witnessed Qin Yao's magic with her own eyes, but she really didn't want to be his enemy.
Lei Gang took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and watched them leave quietly.
"Master!" Yu Dachu shouted loudly when Mao Xiaofang walked out of the gate of Fuxi Hall.
Mao Xiaofang turned to look at him and said: "You have always been smarter than Xiaohai, but your smartness is mistaken for your cleverness. This mistake can easily lead to a lifelong mistake. Yu Dachu, in the future, take care of yourself."
"Uncle, what should we do now?!" Ah Chu murmured as he watched Mao Xiaofang and Xiao Hai striding away.
"Who would have thought that junior brother would be so deeply poisoned? He is so ruthless and righteous that he doesn't even care about my father's kindness in raising me." Lei Gang sighed and said: "All we can do is to protect this building.
It’s Fuxi Hall.”
"Master Lei, Master Lei, is it time to save my husband?"
At this time, a rather handsome young woman stepped into Fuxi Hall and said excitedly.
Lei Gang changed his previous gentle attitude of compassion and shook his head with indifferent eyes: "I'm tired, let's talk about it in two days."
Young woman: "???"
They can wait, but their petrified husband can't wait?
