In the side hall, Gao Ning sat cross-legged on a round futon with a clay plate in front of him.
With a knife in his left hand and a bamboo ruler in his right hand, he built a small house bit by bit.
A three-story building completely made of clay.
Although they were all pitch black, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing fell in love with each other just after they laid eyes on each other.
It's just that the style of this three-story building is weird. There is no roof or tiles. Even the top is square, and the reserved windows are too big and the doors are too small.
Anyway, it's very weird.
"I've met Taoist Priest Qinglian!"
Walking into the side hall, Bai Suzhen pulled Xiaoqing and bowed. After all, he is a great monster who has been cultivating for more than 1,700 years. Not only did he become a teacher of Mother Lishan, but he also received the concubine of Guanyin. He did not dare to do anything else.
It is said that there is still some effort in cultivating Qi.
"You are here!"
Gao Ning raised his head and showed a smile: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't expect to come now. Sit down!"
The two women did not sit down, but looked at each other in surprise.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask: "Did you know we were coming?"
Lu Chen took a knife and simply cut on the beams that had not yet been capped. He replied: "This is inevitable. You were so bold as to steal the silver from the treasury and give it to Xu Xianhua. This guy is really stupid."
Can I spend money without getting into trouble?"
Xiaoqing was speechless for a moment.
That's right, after what happened, the two women finally found out why Guanyin was in trouble.
Bai Suzhen bowed and said sincerely: "Since the Taoist priest is willing to see my two sisters, he can probably guess what we want. I wonder if I can ask the Taoist priest to come forward and make a few rounds.
My husband is innocent. He didn't know about this from beginning to end. Is this good?
Let's find another batch of silver to make up for the shortfall in the bank. Can we solve it at this time?"
"What good thing are you thinking of?"
Gao Ning shook his head, "The treasury's silver was stolen. This is a ground-breaking answer. It can be the kind of answer that can be heard by Datian. If it cannot be found out, although the county magistrate will not be in danger, he will be in trouble...
Nowadays, people are worried for no reason, and finally found the thief. Recovery of the money is only one of them. Severe punishment to scare Xiaoxiao is the real purpose.
Therefore, Xianggong Xu may be in trouble this time!"
"How dares he? A mere dog official dares to touch my family?" Xiao Qing was furious: "If he touches my husband with one finger, I will kill all the people in the county government!"
"Xiaoqing!"
Bai Suzhen quickly pulled Xiaoqing behind her and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, Master Taoist. Xiaoqing only has five hundred years of Taoism. His hair style is a bit hasty and his mind is immature. He just talked nonsense. Please don't take it to heart!"
"Sister!" Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly widened when she heard Bai Suzhen talking about herself.
Bai Suzhen didn't even look at her, she still said sincerely: "Taoist priest, all the mistakes are my fault. My husband is innocent after all. Even if he is at fault, it is just an inspection, and he will not be jailed."
.Taoist priest..."
"stop!"
Gao Ning raised his palms, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes showed a bit of coldness: "Bai Niang, I see that the two of you are clear on the spiritual platform, with divine light in your body, and you are not idiots who devour blood and practice, so please take care of them.
But this is not the reason why you treat me as a fool! You have been practicing for more than 1,700 years, so you don’t need me to teach you how to ask for help, right?"
Bai Suzhen was shocked and froze on the spot.
After a while, the expression on her face slowly subsided. The previous excitement, pleading, pain, and self-blame seemed to be just an illusion. In an instant, her face returned to the indifference and cold-bloodedness unique to snakes.
Xiaoqing had never seen such a familiar feeling before, so her eyes widened.
"What does the Taoist want?" Bai Suzhen said coldly.
"Easy to say!"
Gao Ning smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A small square wooden table suddenly appeared in front of Bai Suzhen and Bai Suzhen. On the table were a stack of rice paper and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones.
"I heard that White Snake studied under Old Mother Lishan. I think there should be some orthodox Taoist exercises. I would like to borrow them for a look. Is it okay?"
Bai Suzhen's complexion changed slightly: "Taoist Priest Qinglian, you..."
"Don't get me wrong, it's just a look. Taoism techniques can be used for reference. If you gain more insights, you can also introduce new ones.
Come to think of it, when Mother Lishan taught you the technique, she didn't tell you not to teach it to others, right?" Gao Ning smiled.
Bai Suzhen was silent.
Not to mention that there was no warning, she had not even seen the true form of Mother Lishan.
Are you kidding me? More than a thousand years ago, she was just a somewhat spiritual snake.
What is the identity of Old Mother Lishan? She is a talented person who can lead three Bodhisattvas to play the game of True True Love and Lotus on Monk Tang's journey of seeking scriptures.
Even though the mother and daughter all appear in incarnations, being the mother of three Bodhisattvas represents a high status in itself.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Gao Ning's request is not excessive.
But he also knows that it is not advisable to force excess.
Seeing that Bai Suzhen didn't speak for a long time, Gao Ning grabbed another handful of mud from the bucket next to him, put it on a smooth motherboard, kneaded and beat it repeatedly until the viscosity was moderate and the surface was smooth.
Then I used a small tool made of bamboo to roll it out to an even thickness and cut it into a moderate size.
"Don't worry, I am Qing Songzi and I have had a similar experience. The basic method will not change. You don't have to worry. We secretly learned your method. If we say we can learn from it, we will just learn from it!"
Gao Ning said casually: "Of course, I can't guarantee too much about Xu Xian. After all, this is the human world, with dragon energy suppressing it. Sometimes it's hard for us cultivators to take action.
I can guarantee that Xu Xian will not suffer, but you need to leave Qiantang!"
"Leave Qiantang?" Xiaoqing was a little angry: "What do you mean? Drive us away?
Gao Ning looked at her like a fool.
Bai Suzhen suddenly had an idea and blurted out: "Exile?"
"It's okay! But here I suggest you change your identity. You don't even need to change your name. There are so many people with the same name in the world. As long as no one investigates, no one will care at all."
Gao Ning said: "And Xu Xian's original identity will be defined as a wanted criminal."
Bai Suzhen frowned and hesitated: "Isn't there a better way?"
Gao Ning thought for a while: "You don't want to leave Qiantang?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head: "I want to make up for my mistakes!"
"Got it!" Gao Ning snapped his fingers: "Then I'll give you another plan!"
"What?"
"Simple, ordinary people only know that Xu Xian spent money to build a security hall. But Xu Xian doesn't have to be Xu Xian!"
Gao Ning shrugged: "It's so simple to change one's appearance. I just need to find someone to pretend to be Xu Xian. During the period when he was imprisoned in the prison, he was still busy with the security hall outside, and he still spent a lot of official money every day.
Spend it outside, what do you think the county magistrate will think?"
"Arrested the wrong person?"
"Framing?"
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen said it at the same time, and after finishing speaking, their eyes lit up at the same time.
Obviously, they also thought of the beauty of this method.
"That's right! The county magistrate will definitely be furious, and then send people to arrest the other Xu Xian. Do you think that at this time, one Xu Xian will confess and the other Xu Xian will cry out for injustice.
Xu Xian, who confessed, not only provided the place where the remaining official silver was hidden, but after taking off his disguise mask, he discovered that he was actually Li Gongfu's old enemy, or a criminal thief who had been chased by him before. Do you think the county magistrate would do it at this time?
how to think?"
Both Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were speechless.
Gao Ning still had some unfinished thoughts and continued: "If at this time, my master, for the sake of his friendship with Capt. Li, comes forward to put in a good word for Xu Xian who is complaining about injustice, what do you think the county magistrate will do?"
"Let him go! He will definitely be let go!" Xiao Qing said excitedly.
Bai Suzhen looked complicated: "There is no doubt that all the blame will be placed on the Jiangyang thief, but..."
Gao Ning smiled, showing his sharp white teeth: "Why should I help you like this? You are monsters, right?"
Bai Suzhen was silent.
She looked at the small table in front of her, hesitated again and again, then gritted her teeth and said, "Just a look?"
Gao Ning said seriously: "Just a look!"
"Okay, then I'll write this "Song of Enlightenment"!"
After saying that, Bai Suzhen sat on the ground, picked up the brush and started writing bit by bit.
Xiaoqing tried to persuade her, but when her words came to her lips, she just turned into a sigh.
In the end, I didn't know what I was thinking, and I glared at Gao Ning again.
Gao Ning rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.
Speaking of it, Xiao Qing, who has been practicing for five hundred years, seems to have a low IQ. Every time he takes the initiative to think and want to help, he will do bad things with good intentions.
It seems that in the entire story of White Snake, except for one moment when he cooperated with Bai Suzhen to flood the Jinshan Mountains, he was either transparent or playing the role of a pig teammate at other times.
Now it seems that I forgot to develop my brain when I transformed.
Bai Suzhen's hand speed was extremely fast. In less than five minutes, she had already written three pages of rice paper.
She put down her pen and stood up. Gao Ning raised his hand to take the photo. He scanned it from beginning to end, then shattered the rice paper and buried it in the mud.
As if he had done something trivial, he continued to play with the little house with concentration, saying: "It's not bad, it's righteous and peaceful, and it contains the principles of heaven and earth. It's indeed Old Mother Lishan, and she does have some skills!"
Bai Suzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiaoqing was a little stunned: "Is this the end?"
"What else? We agreed that it was just a matter of observation. Okay, no need to pester me again. You two return the same way. I will make some arrangements here and then send someone to act according to the plan." Gao Ning said casually.
Bai Suzhen asked: "What do we need to do?"
Gao Ning thought for a while: "Well...it's true. I'll find an opportunity to transfer you out first. Aren't there five ghosts around Miss Xiaoqing? Just find someone to go in and get whipped twice at most. It will take three to five days.
The situation has come out!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
Bai Suzhen pulled Xiaoqing to salute, and the indifference on her face disappeared again, replaced by the most affectionate white lady.
Her eyes showed gratitude, she bowed to Gao Ning again and again, and after apologizing again and again, she took Xiaoqing into the air and disappeared.
It wasn't until the two women left that Gao Ning chuckled and shook his head with a somewhat unclear meaning, "It turns out that this is the real thousand-year-old snake demon! Sure enough, everything is to cut off the cause and effect. The more you learn, the more you learn.
