Dawn in the Immortal Mountain Chapter 29: Good wine with a story
Su Mu told the villagers his doubts. He did not observe any ghosts in the peach forest.
Everyone then understood.
"It turns out that sir is also a bachelor in the Yin and Yang Yamen?"
The yamen set up by the imperial court to deal with supernatural matters in local areas were mainly the Yin and Yang yamen. The officials in them, except for the chief officials, could all be called magicians, but those who had great spiritual practice would also be given the honorific title of "great scholar".
However, in the perception of Confucianism cultivators, apart from Xilin Holy Land, there are only a few adults in the Imperial College who can truly be called great scholars.
In addition to the Yin and Yang Yamen, local county schools and government schools sometimes also participate in dealing with supernatural matters.
Originally, there were many students in the county schools who were practicing in this area.
When Su Mu took the exam in Tingyang County, both the Yin and Yang Yamen Office and the county school mobilized manpower.
Su Mu hurriedly said a few words of modesty. If the trainer heard this, the other party would probably be concerned and cause unnecessary conflicts.
Later.
Su Mu and Tan Rusu stabilized the villagers and said that they would first find the trainer and ask them before discussing.
Most of the villagers themselves don't want to cut down the peach trees. It would be best if there are other ways.
So not much effort was wasted.
Regardless of the fact that the leading businessman looked very scared, seeing that the people who were following him had changed their attitudes, he could only look at Su Mu expectantly and said: "Mr. Su, since you have intervened, you must kill the evil ghost."
You can't leave until you arrest him."
Su Mu could quite understand him, after all, his own wife died at the hands of ghosts.
"Please rest assured, Member Zhou, since I have taken care of this matter, I will never walk away,"
Su Mu said seriously: "Besides, these things are within the scope of our responsibilities."
"In this case, there is Mr. Laosu."
"So, where is the master trainer now?" At the moment, we still need to find the trainer first.
"Tong Xunshu has a free and easy temperament and is erratic. For a while, we didn't know where he was."
Zhou Yuanwai said: "However, he will go to Qinfang Tower every evening."
...
Su Mu and his party returned to the town and came to a unique local tavern.
There are also several peach trees planted in the small courtyard of the museum, and tables are placed among them.
Su Mu and his entourage sat down beside the peach, and with the flick of their sleeves they blocked the sound from spreading outwards, "Do you think there is a possibility that there are no ghosts in the peach forest at all, but the training man saw that the peach tree has become spiritual,
You want to take it as your own, so that’s why you have such a thing?”
This is his guess, or suspicion.
"Young Master said, I feel the same way."
"Me too."
It was the young monk who spoke, and he was still in the world in Su Mu's sleeves.
Although there are people who are cultivators of immortality in the world, if monkeys like Monk Hai appear directly in front of people, they will inevitably be regarded as spirit monsters, and they will cause unnecessary trouble if they are not careful.
"No,"
Tan Rusu seemed to have completely regained his composure now, and his tone was as smart as usual, "There are indeed ghosts hiding under that peach tree, and there are many ghosts."
"Ah?" The little monk was surprised.
Yunqi looked confused, but she didn't see anything, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
The same goes for Su Mu. He doesn't feel that Tan Rusu is better than him in this aspect. The main reason is that facts have proven that he could sense the people in the forest before, but Tan Rusu did not notice it.
But looking at Tan Rusu's appearance, it didn't look like he was talking nonsense, "How did you see it?"
"Are you an idiot? If I had spoken out before, would they have let it go?"
Tan Rusu glanced at Yun Qi like an idiot, and then said with some pride: "Don't think that I am really weaker than you in terms of perception. The little hairy monkey and the white fox have all lost to me.
"
Su Mu had no intention of competing with her, and frowned: "That's strange. As we all know, peach trees have the ability to suppress evil, and those ghosts can easily hide in them, unless...unless it's that peach tree.
Deliberately sheltering.”
Hearing this, Tan Rusu felt a little surprised, "You actually thought of it so quickly."
"What?"
Su Mu was slightly startled and said, "What you mean is that it is indeed the case."
Just at this moment.
The waiter came up with drinks and dishes and entered Su Mu's shielding range. He vaguely heard their conversation, but couldn't hear clearly, "Third gentlemen, this is the most famous late spring in this town. Please taste it."
Among Niyang Town's peach blossom wines, Wan Lai Chun is extremely famous, and even many cultivators would find it difficult to refuse.
The waiter knew the identities of the three of them and introduced them carefully.
When he was about to leave, Su Mu stopped him.
"Little brother, I heard someone in the crowd say they were doing some harm to Zhou Yuanwai's family. What's the reason for this?"
Su Mu could see that many villagers in the town respected Zhou Yuanwai very much. He was worried that his words would cause discomfort to him, so he added: "I mean, even if there are evil spirits causing trouble, then the entire Niyang town will be affected."
How can you say that this matter is a matter of Zhou Yuanwai's family?"
"well!"
The waiter sighed, but it could be seen from the twinkling light in the corner of his eyes that he obviously wanted to tell someone, "The three gentlemen are not aware of something now. Member Zhou..."
His words were interrupted by Yun Qi, "I'm just a little girl who follows the young master. I definitely can't be called sir."
The waiter thought to himself that if you were really a girl, how could you sit at the same table as the master?
Of course, he admitted that he sometimes gossiped, but he never interfered in other people's affairs. After saying that he understood, he continued: "A few years ago, Zhou Yuanwai was the county magistrate who managed one side, and later retired and returned home."
"Zhou Yuanwai built a charity village to take in poor people who couldn't afford to eat. Over the past few years, I don't know how many people have been saved. That is, many people in our town have received the kindness of Mr. Zhou, even... even me
I got the errand thanks to Zhou Yuanwai."
"I see,"
Without knowing too much, Su Mu could guess some of the thoughts in the townspeople's minds, and asked with a smile: "So, little brother should have been on Zhou Yuanwai's side before."
"Uh...I didn't."
"No?" Su Mu was surprised and indeed a little unbelievable.
The waiter scratched his head and said, "Sir, I'm really not an ungrateful person. It's really our landlady who doesn't allow it."
"Ha ha,"
Su Mu laughed loudly and said: "I understand, life is like this."
"Best regards, sir."
Later, Su Mu asked the waiter about some things about Zhou Yuanwai, but he didn't say much before a guest called him over.
Su Mu thought about it and slowly picked up the Wan Lai Chun that Yun Qi had poured on the table.
The drink brought him back to his senses miraculously.
"It really deserves the name of late spring!"
He couldn't help but praise that as the wine entered his throat, it felt slightly warm, just like a ray of sunshine shining on him in late spring. Deeper, he could faintly smell the smell of the last peach blossom blooming on the peach tree in late spring.
The fragrance of peach blossoms and the breath of vitality are more abundant.
When the wine is in your stomach, the vitality contained in the buds will flourish in your body and even penetrate deep into your lungs.
This feeling, for Su Mu, who used the Divine Cauldron to cast his body, was like drinking the water of life.
"It is indeed a good wine," said Tan Rusu, who held the wine gourd all day long. He was obviously a good drinker, and he felt as if he had found a treasure.
"Good wine, really good wine." After half the glass, the young monk became drunk.
