The black shadow left Zhujiazui and headed towards Lucheng. He found a shopkeeper in a secluded house and reported in a low voice what had just happened. The shopkeeper also had a look on his face, in disbelief.
asked: "But is it true?"
The black figure nodded and whispered: "Master Mu, do you want to report it to the master?"
The man who looked like a shopkeeper nodded immediately: "This is natural. The master has been waiting for so long, waiting for the day when the dragon's cave will see the light again!"
When Heiying heard this, his face was filled with excitement.
"Follow me!" said the man who looked like a shopkeeper, leading a dark shadow straight into the backyard of the house. There was a passage in the backyard leading to the outside of the house. From the passage, you turned around a few alleys, and there was a small building in the suburbs.
Nunnery.
The master of the wooden hall opened the door and saw that there was only a statue of Guanyin standing on a lotus. The decoration was very simple. A pair of candles were lit on the table, and three fragrances were burning. The master of the wooden hall entered with the man in black.
After that, go straight to the small door on the right.
Before the person walked through the small door, a tight, suppressed cough came from inside the door. It was subtle but deep. It could be heard that the person had been ill for a long time.
"Master!" Hall Master Mu stood still, unable to conceal his excitement in his voice, "Dragon Cave has seen the light of day again. Master, the person we were waiting for is here!"
In an instant, the man's coughing suddenly stopped, and almost at the same time, there was a sound of broken utensils.
"Master, are you okay?" Hall Master Mu asked nervously.
There was no sound inside again, and the silence was photogenic.
Hall Master Mu and the man in black looked at each other. Just as they were hesitating whether to open the small door in front of them, an old voice sounded faintly, "Is that person really here?"
Hall Master Mu quickly said: "Yes, Master!"
It was silent inside again.
This time, Hall Master Mu did not dare to step forward anymore. He winked at the black shadow, and the two of them retreated respectfully.
As if a century had passed, the small door finally opened, and a woman walked out slowly. With a slender waist and a graceful figure, at first glance, she thought she was a young girl, but she turned out to be full of...
It was a wrinkled face and white hair. The woman was wearing a washed white dress. She walked to the Guanyin statue and slowly knelt down. The moment her knees touched her breasts, her feet
The statue of Guanyin standing on the lotus suddenly fell backwards, and slowly rose up a row of gold-painted spiritual tablets. The names written on them were all the emperors of the Shura Kingdom before Li Guo. The one at the front was Shura Hui Emperor Shura Ye.
The woman knelt in front of the couch and kowtowed respectfully. A gold silk belt hung from her chest, carved into a jade pendant in the shape of five entwined dragons. The woman looked at the jade pendant and murmured: "Does God really bless me, Shura? The dragon's lair has reappeared.
, Shura’s revival, can the prophecy really come true?”
…
In Zhujiazui, Lucheng, just when Chu Yiqing and Yingqian were holding torches and planning to enter in person, Shan Laoer suddenly looked in the direction of the boundary monument on the opposite side and shouted: "Miss, look, isn't that Lord Lei!"
Chu Yiqing and Yingqian quickly looked up and saw that it was indeed Lei Yuan. He came from the opposite side and said expressionlessly: "Miss, there is a very long cave inside. It is deep and high. There are many turtles, big and small."
It’s all small and dense!”
Just as he was talking, he heard Zhu Tietou's voice coming from inside. The Tietou's wife rushed to the entrance of the cave and saw Zhu Tietou crawling out in a very embarrassed manner with grass clippings and moss marks on his face and body.
Li was holding an old tortoise the size of a millstone. The tortoise's shell was covered with simple patterns. The old tortoise was held in Zhu Tietou's arms. Instead of retracting his head, he looked around with a pair of dark eyes.
Everything outside looks quite spiritual.
"It's really unlucky. There's nothing inside, just turtles. I found the biggest one and took it out!" Zhu Tietou knocked the hard shell of the turtle hard, his eyes lit up and he said, "So
This big guy is probably worth a lot of money!"
Before Tietou's wife could say anything, Grandma Zhu, the oldest in the village, shouted loudly: "Tietou, this turtle is going to become a sperm and needs to be released, but you can't buy it!"
When Granny Zhu said this, everyone agreed. Zhu Yongfa stepped forward and said, "Tietou, this turtle is so big and not afraid of people. It's a spiritual being. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
But Zhu Tietou didn't listen at all. He and his wife carried the turtle and said, "Retribution? Is there any retribution? I'm afraid I won't have money to live my life!"
But Zhu Yongfa stopped Zhu Tietou directly, "No, you are not afraid of retribution, we are still afraid. Look at our area of a hundred miles, other villages are all dry and grass does not grow, but the land in our mouth is wet all year round.
Now, with the help of Miss Chu, we have dug out the spring, and we are about to make a lot of money. We have also dug out black holes. There are so many turtles in the black holes. Maybe these turtles are protecting us. You can sell the old turtles.
Well, if you offend the Turtle God and bring disaster to our mouth, won’t all our descendants and grandchildren be harmed by you? This hole is in our mouth, and it belongs to the big guy. Now the big guys are here more often, we
Just express your opinion and tell me what I mean, right?"
When Zhu Yongfa said this, everyone in the village nodded. Grandma Zhu even said: "Tietou, you are young and ignorant. This turtle is a thousand-year-old turtle. We can't afford to offend it. Let it go now."
The spring is dug out, and the people in our mouth will make a lot of money right away. This mouth is a blessed land. If you destroy this blessed land by yourself, and the people in our mouth will suffer the same fate as you, how can you bear it?"
"That's right, if you're not afraid of retribution, we are, so let him go immediately!" Someone yelled, and everyone in the room stared at Zhu Tietou angrily.
While the villagers were making a fuss, Lei Yuan quickly walked up to Chu Yiqing and whispered: "There is something fishy about this hole, Miss, let's talk about it when we get back!"
Seeing Lei Yuan's solemn expression, Chu Yiqing nodded. It was getting late anyway, so she had to rush back to Lucheng as soon as possible. She just ordered Shan Laoer and the craftsmen to stay to build ditches and irrigate the fertile fields.
When Chu Yiqing turned around, he heard Zhu Tietou and his wife arguing with the villagers.
On the carriage back, Lei Yuan sat outside the curtain and reported respectfully: "That cave is a bit strange. Although my subordinates didn't find anything, the turtles were arranged in a strange row, which seemed to be a symbol.
It seems to be guarding something... Because the time was too short, I didn’t dare to check too carefully for fear of worrying the lady, so I temporarily withdrew. If there is a chance, I would like to go in and take a look again!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "In this case, find a way to seal the mouths of the villagers, especially Zhu Tietou, the turtle in the cave, I am afraid it will also arouse the covetousness of greedy people!"
Lei Yuan responded quickly and got off the bus halfway back to Zhujiazui.
When they returned to Lucheng, it was already Haishi, and Hua Lin was still playing with A Bao. Chu Yiqing asked the nanny to come and take Hua Lin back to sleep.
After a while, Yingqian came to report that it was Hua Qi who wanted to see him, so Chu Yiqing let Yingrun watch A Bao sleep and went to the outhouse himself.
"Aunt Chu, why are you back late today?" Hua Qi quickly stood up from the chair and saluted.
"Some things have not been dealt with, and it has been delayed for a while. It's so late, and you haven't gone to bed yet?" Chu Yiqing asked him to sit down, and Yingqian brought some food. Chu Yiqing also chatted with Hua Qi while eating.
Touching the sky.
"Aunt Chu, I'm here for the sake of nanny and the others. These slaves don't work hard to serve their masters, but they gossip behind their backs, which makes Aunt Chu angry. I'll apologize to Aunt Chu on their behalf!" Hua Qi said.
, he bowed down solemnly and saluted.
Chu Yiqing quickly supported him and said: "Qi'er, it's none of your business if they do something wrong. You don't have to be like this, but don't worry, the nanny is the closest person to Hua Lin. I will take care of Hua Lin for the time being.
I won't do anything to her, but if she refuses to correct herself, I'm afraid..."
Hua Qi quickly said: "Don't worry, Aunt Chu. After this incident, even if they have the courage, they will not dare to cause trouble again. Hua Qi thanks Aunt Chu here!"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and looked at Hua Qi. He always felt that he was very respectful and polite to her. She was a little surprised that he just listened to Hua Lao and was willing to be restrained by him?
"Aunt Chu, if there is nothing else, Hua Qi has resigned, and you should go to bed early!" In a daze, Chu Yiqing heard Hua Qi say.
Chu Yiqing nodded and watched Hua Qi walk out.
Yingqian said while taking the food down: "Those slaves must be afraid of the young lady's punishment, so they went to the young master to beg for mercy!"
"They have been in Hua Mansion for so long and have considered this place their home. Now that they have done such a wrong thing, they are naturally scared and have no reason to go to Hua Qi to ask for help!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, stretching his waist. Today,
I obviously went out for a day and came back very late, but I don't know why, but I'm not tired, on the contrary, I'm very energetic.
"Prepare water for me to take a bath!" Chu Yiqing said. He went back to the room to check on A Bao. Seeing that A Bao was asleep, he meditated and practiced. After Yingqian prepared the bath water, he took a bath****
sleep.
I slept extremely soundly that night, and it was dawn as soon as I woke up. When I looked up, I saw that A Bao had already dressed himself and was smiling at Chu Yiqing.
"Mother, you were exhausted last night!" A Bao obediently stepped forward, tapped Chu Yiqing's shoulders and said, "Mother always leaves early and comes back late these days, and A Bao can't even see her.
Got it!"
Chu Yiqing was so coaxed by A Bao's coquettish tone that he felt soft, so he held him in his arms, kissed him and said, "When the rice is planted, mother, I will play with you for a few days, okay?"
Abao refused and said, "Mom, I've finished reading the paintings. I'm waiting to see. Mother, let's paint first!"
Only then did Chu Yiqing realize that A Bao wanted to wait to watch "Journey to the West", so he couldn't help but gently tapped A Bao's little nose and said: "It turns out that missing my mother is a lie, and I only miss my grandson."
it is true!"
A Bao hugged Chu Yiqing and said coquettishly: "A Bao really wants to kiss my mother!"
Chu Yiqing was so coaxed by his sweet words that he did not go out this morning, but instead helped Ah Bao draw pictures. Hua Lin also became interested and gathered around him with a look of interest on his face.
Lucheng is close to the capital, and any new things will soon spread to the capital. The same is true for the story of "Journey to the West". Originally it was only circulated among a few children. In order to appease the children, the adults also copied the description, and slowly
Slowly, the storybook "Journey to the West" actually reached the capital.
Two days later, the ditch from the spring to the bottom of the hillside was basically completed. It was already March, and the weather was getting warmer. Chu Yiqing wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather to irrigate all the land.
Once, then transplant the rice.
After the emperor withdrew his people, there were still many skilled farmers left, led by Guo Huai. Chu Yiqing took the opportunity to sign another hundred long-term workers, specifically to take care of the vegetable fields and rice fields in Lucheng.
Coupled with the power of Hua Mansion, Lucheng is now completely under Chu Yiqing's control.
On this day, six or seven days had passed since the discovery of Lao Gui. Chu Yiqing planned to go to Zhujiazui again. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Zhujiazui, he saw a look of horror on everyone's face in Zhujiazui.
, Zhu Yongfa even stepped forward and said: "Miss Chu, help me!"
Chu Yiqing was startled and raised his eyes to look at Lei Yuan. Lei Yuan also had a solemn expression. He walked quickly to Chu Yiqing and said: "Zhu Tietou's family was killed last night. Judging from the means, they must be from Jianghu!
"
Zhu Yongfa nodded and said: "It must be Zhu Tietou who didn't listen to what we said and wanted to go into the cave to find that old turtle to sell for money. He offended the turtle god and got retribution!"
When Zhu Yongfa said this, the villagers gathered around and talked a lot, saying that last night someone indeed saw Zhu Tietou taking a torch and trying to enter the cave again. It was not known whether he got in or not, but in the morning,
When the neighbor next door saw that they hadn't gotten up to cook for three days, they went to call the door. As a result, they saw Zhu Tietou and his wife dead on the bed. There was blood all over the floor. It was too horrible to look at.
"Miss Chu, we let the old turtle go. Do you think it will hold grudges against us?"
"Miss Chu, will we get retribution if we dig out that old turtle's home?"
People kept asking, with frightened and uneasy expressions on their faces.
Lei Yuan stepped forward and whispered: "Since the bodies of Zhu Tietou and his wife were discovered this morning, two families have moved out quickly, just because they are afraid of this turtle's revenge!"
Zhu Yongfa also said: "Miss Chu, we are just afraid of losing our lives to earn Miss Chu's money. Now everyone in Zuizi is panic-stricken, and many people want to leave Zuizi!"
Chu Yiqing frowned and said: "Village Chief, I will investigate this matter clearly. Please don't leave in a hurry, fellow villagers!"
Zhu Yongfa said: "We are not willing to leave. Where can we find such a good livelihood? But Miss Chu, you really have to find the murderer, otherwise..."
Chu Yiqing nodded and signaled Lei Yuan to come forward, and the two of them talked while walking along the road to the spring.
"What's going on?" Chu Yiqing whispered. He didn't expect that things here were about to be arranged, but something suddenly went wrong.
"Originally, the matter of the turtles has been settled by my subordinates. People in the village believe that the turtles are spiritual, and the entrance to the cave has been temporarily sealed with stones. No one dares to approach. But that Zhu Tietou was obsessed with money, and why?
I don’t believe in evil. After I released the old turtle that day, I tried to enter several times. I wanted to take his life, but I was afraid of disturbing the villagers. I was thinking of a way, but I didn’t expect that he and his wife both
He was killed, and..." Lei Yuan's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "I'm afraid this man's martial arts skills are not low. He entered Zhujiazui, and I didn't notice at all!"
Listening to what Lei Yuan said, Chu Yiqing also felt that the matter was not simple. What was the purpose of the murder? Was it the cave?
"Have you ever gone in that Shandong area again? Did you find anything?" Chu Yiqing asked in a low voice.
Lei Yuan shook his head: "I went in twice more and found nothing except those turtles. It seems to be just a cave!"
Chu Yiqing frowned, and when he was considering whether to go in and take a look in person, he suddenly saw Yingqian hurriedly come out of her mouth, walked to Chu Yiqing and said urgently: "Miss, two more families have moved away.
The rest of the people are all in panic, fearing the Turtle God's revenge!"
Chu Yiqing paused and whispered to Lei Yuan, who quickly entered the cave.
"Yingqian, call them all here and tell me that I have a way to prevent the Turtle God from punishing them!" Chu Yiqing said in a low voice.
Yingqian went to do it quickly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the villagers in Zhujiazui came out of the mouth. Some of them were still carrying luggage. They seemed to be planning to leave. They couldn't help but come to take a look at the excitement.
When Chu Yiqing saw that people were almost there, he stood at the entrance of the cave and stretched out his hands. Slowly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the cave.
"Listen, what's the sound?" Zhu Yongfa shouted first, and then someone exclaimed: "Oh no, could it be that all the turtles ran out?"
When the man shouted, everyone panicked. Chu Yiqing frowned and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.
After everyone finally calmed down, they saw turtles gradually crawling out of the cave, and then there were more and more turtles, about a hundred of them.
Seeing the densely packed turtles running out of the cave, some worried women and children quickly hid behind their men, and even the timid ones were so frightened that they cried.
The turtles that crawled out slowly crawled toward Chu Yiqing, but suddenly stopped three feet away from Chu Yiqing, and no longer dared to move forward.
"Oh, look, these turtles are afraid of Miss Chu!" someone exclaimed.
As soon as the man shouted, everyone felt that this was the case. At this moment, Yingqian said: "Our lady is the goddess of agriculture who has descended to earth. These turtles are naturally afraid of our goddess!"
When Ying Qian said this, Zhu Yongfa suddenly thought of something and suddenly knelt down and shouted loudly: "Goddess of Agriculture, Grandpa Turtle God has appeared!"
Zhu Yongfa also knelt down, and everyone was stunned. They all remembered the legend of the Goddess of Agriculture. It turned out that it was Miss Chu in front of them, and they all knelt down in confusion.
"Goddess of Agriculture, you must protect our mouth. We old guys can't walk and don't want to leave our mouth!" said an old man in his sixties, and he also knelt down.
Chu Yiqing quickly stepped forward and said, "You guys get up first!"
Zhu Yongfa also stood up with others and asked: "Miss Chu, you must be accommodating with Grandpa Turtle God!"
Chu Yiqing said: "Actually, it was my idea to dig the spring. Even if it offends the Turtle God, it's my fault and it has nothing to do with anyone. Besides, Zhu Tietou is too greedy to blame himself. Even if it's God's retribution, it's a human life."
Naturally, it is best to report it to the official, but by reporting it to the official, people will naturally know about the turtle in the cave, and it may really anger the turtle god!"
Zhu Yongfa was hesitating when someone shouted: "As long as Grandpa Guishen doesn't punish him, Zhu Tietou will die when he dies, and there will be no one else in his family. Let's just collect some money from each family and bury him."
!”
As soon as the man said it, everyone agreed, and Zhu Yongfa said: "That's it, don't mention this matter again in the future. With Miss Chu here, we have nothing to fear!"
Everyone saw with their own eyes the sight of turtles appearing in groups but not daring to approach Chu Yiqing. Naturally, they were convinced and they all nodded. Those who were carrying luggage, seeing that the matter was resolved, went home and put down their luggage and decided to stay.
Come down.
After everyone dispersed, Lei Yuan came out of the cave and drove all the turtles in. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "Miss, this is really a clever move. She even followed their fear of the Turtle God and responded with tit for tat."
,Eye for an Eye!"
Chu Yiqing took out the snake hidden on his body and said with a smile: "I'll have to rely on you more to drive out the turtles!"
Yingqian stepped forward and said: "Miss, you are really smart. This snake is the natural enemy of the turtle. Naturally, they will not dare to come forward when they smell it!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, but still did not forget to tell Lei Yuan: "We still need to continue to investigate Zhu Tietou's matter. I'm afraid someone is already eyeing this place!"
Lei Yuan nodded quickly.
Things in Zhujiazui were temporarily settled. Chu Yiqing settled the more than 100 people he hired in Zhujiazui and gave them some settlement allowance. On the one hand, he used it to protect the three thousand acres of rice and springs.
On the other hand, there was the cave. For some reason, Chu Yiqing always felt that the cave was a bit strange.
In the nunnery on the outskirts of Lucheng City, the white-haired woman listened to Hall Master Mu's report and couldn't help but frown and whispered: "So, those people in Zhujiazui are not leaving?"
Hall Master Mu nodded and said: "They have decided to stay, but after such a commotion, those people also firmly believe in the existence of the Turtle God, and they are afraid that they will never dare to enter that cave again, except..."
"Other than who?" The white-haired woman turned back and looked at Hall Master Mu.
"Except for that Miss Chu and her men!" Hall Master Mu said quickly, "Master, my subordinates have already checked that Miss Chu is from the Palace of Prince Chu in the capital, which is the former Duke Protector's Palace!"
A complex expression immediately appeared on the white-haired woman's face. She stood up tremblingly and said, "It's time to meet her!"
