A cloth ball that looked similar to a sandbag flew through the air. The cat jumped up and caught it steadily, then picked it up again.
She originally ran towards the woman, but when she saw the Taoist open his eyes, she immediately turned around, walked towards the Taoist, stood up and put the cloth ball on the Taoist's lap.
"Okay, you heartless person, I wasted so much time playing with you!" Wu Nuxia pretended to be angry, but her tone was smiling. After speaking, she turned to look at the Taoist, "What did you just do?
"
"It's just a small thing."
The Taoist picked up the ball on his lap and threw it.
Wu Nuxia asked from the side: "Is the Taiwei Mansion looking for someone to deal with you? Do you want to fight with you?"
"The heroine is smart."
"Don't try to coax me with cat talk."
"Say I'm used to it."
"How did the Taiwei's Mansion find someone to deal with you? Did you lower your head? Did you resolve it? How did you resolve it?" Wu Nuxia seemed to be particularly interested in this kind of thing, "Tell me carefully."
"Not much difference." Song You replied, "The Taiwei Mansion invited a Taoist to cast a spell to harm me."
"It seems that this wave has been resolved?"
"Resolved."
"Let me tell you that Taiwei's Mansion is not easy to mess with. Not to mention the government, the family can also invite strange people and strangers from the private sector." Wu Nuxia sighed, "Money can make all the trouble, you will have trouble in the future.
Already."
"I'm good at fighting. The difficulties in the Qimen method are actually easy for me."
"What about the government?"
"This is troublesome, but it is just trouble."
"That's quite loud!" Wu Nuxia laughed, "If the official Zhang Haibang arrests you, how will you explain it?"
"There are many ways to solve it."
"tell me the story."
"It's like learning a little about the art of change."
"Hey! This is good! This is good!" Wu Nuxia shouted twice, and then said, "I thought you would leave Changjing early and continue traveling if you were forced to do so. It seems that I was overly worried.
.”
"I will stay here at least until next year."
"The relationship is so good, I really can't bear to let you go."
"But there is a difference in the end."
"yes."
Wu Nuxia also replied with some emotion.
"But that's a matter for the future. We'll talk about the future later. Let's talk about the immediate matter first." Wu Nuxia paused, "You are not a lowly person. You were harmed by someone. Are you going to find a way to get it back in the future?"
"Already found."
"Um?"
"Already found."
"How did you get it back?"
"Exercise small punishments and persuade them to change their ways."
"You couldn't have made the captain deaf and mute, right?"
"That's not true."
"That's good."
"I wonder if the heroine knows Dou Qiuyao and everyone?"
"Master Dou?" Wu Nuxia frowned and glanced at him sideways, "Why do you ask about this person?"
"I met his descendants in the Taiwei Mansion."
"That man is actually hiding in the Taiwei Mansion? No wonder so many people in the world can't find him."
"It sounds like the heroine knows."
"Know."
Wu Nuxia pursed her lips, and then said: "Dou Qiuyao was a master of painting hundreds of years ago. It is said that he was very skilled in painting and had the ability to make a living by painting people. However, he rarely painted people, and he had no paintings of people.
It has been passed down to this day. Some people say that some of it has been passed down, but they are all collected by wealthy families. Some people say that the people he painted came alive and naturally ran out of the painting, leaving the painting empty.
Anyway, I haven’t seen any of his paintings of people or animals left behind.”
"Could it be that the thing that the female hero, the senior, was fighting for was the painting left behind by Master Dou?"
"How did you know?"
"Guess."
"clever!"
Wu Nuxia nodded and continued:
"Many years ago, there were rumors in the world that Master Dou left behind a unique painting, which was more valuable than all previous paintings and has been hidden by his descendants. I don't know if it is true or not, but Master Dou has always followed
The money from the sale of just one painting is enough to last many people in the world for eight lifetimes.
"It's just that the Dou family was not easy to mess with at the beginning, and many people in the world did not dare to rob it openly. I heard that some thieves secretly sneaked into the house to look for it, but could not find it. Later, the Dou family fell, but the descendants of the Dou family also
Clever, he quickly hid in the rivers and lakes.
“The world is so big, how can it be easy to find people?
"In recent years, news has spread again. It seems that the former wife of the Dou family leaked the secret. In short, a lot of Jianghu people came to find them. The descendants of the Dou family had to pack their bags and move away again. They were homeless again. I don't know.
Where to escape.
"The last time I heard news was years ago.
"Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Dou family were hiding in the Taiwei's Mansion. Most of the paintings also ended up in the Taiwei's Mansion. This is good, there will be less disputes in the world, and fewer people will die. I think no matter how brave they are,
You don’t dare to go and rob things from the palace of the Imperial Lieutenant, do you?”
"I see."
Song You nodded repeatedly and smiled.
In fact, since he came to Changjing, he didn't go out to see many things. Most of them relied on fate. He looked at them when he met them and listened to them when they met him. So many of the things he learned were just side effects.
Today, quite a few corners have been connected.
So much so that a picture was drawn in my mind.
After the decline of the Dou family, the descendants of the Dou family hid in the Jianghu. It is not known whether there is a real treasure or it is just a rumor. However, some people in the Jianghu do not like to be reasonable. The descendants of the Dou family have no other choice but to hide in Tibet. Last winter
The descendants of this generation chose to hide in Changjing. They didn't know how to leak the news, and they didn't know how to be chased by the Jianghu people. Before they reached Changjing, they were intercepted by the Jianghu people.
Fortunately, the Dou family still left some treasures behind, such as the picture of Two Tigers Confronting the Mountain.
Master Dou, who I saw today, was hiding and running, and was almost surrounded outside Changjing City. Fortunately, he met the military attaché who was leading troops to Beijing for duty. Military Attaché Zhengyi was rescued by him, and then entered Beijing.
However, Jianghu people have their own intelligence and are quite capable.
While he was in Changjing, he was still often visited by people, who would attack at night with the intention of seizing the treasure, which made him exhausted.
The previous owner of this house was one of them, and he died under the bite of two tigers.
Until Master Dou hid in the Taiwei Mansion.
When I was thinking about it, I heard Wu Nuxia’s voice:
"Oh, that's not fair!"
Song You's eyes returned to calmness and he turned to look at her:
"What's wrong?"
"Whatever you ask me, I'll just babble and talk to you. If I ask you anything, you'll just dawdle and mingle, unable to come up with a few words, and you won't be able to satisfy my curiosity at all."
"..."
Song You thought for a while and then said to her:
"I'm sorry then."
"?"
Wu Nuxia stared at him with wide eyes.
It seems that these words are a bit familiar, but I can't remember them for a while.
In the end, I had to give up.
There was nothing left to talk about, so she simply stood up, patted her butt, adjusted the position of the dagger in her arms, clasped her fists and said goodbye to the Taoist, saying that if she needed help, just call her, and then went out directly.
The Taoist was left sitting in the room, playing ball with the cat.
Playing with the ball and thinking at the same time.
What happened today is also interesting.
Not only did he meet the master of painting who was skilled in painting portraits of generals, but he also heard about the bloody battles in the rivers and lakes.
I also saw that the prince of the dynasty did not want to die and asked someone to extend his life. In the end, he was played by strange people in the Jianghu, and he became a human being and a ghost without knowing it. If he had not met him, he would have been tortured in the future.
"brush……"
The cloth ball was thrown countless times.
The sun is setting outside.
It was getting late, and the air was filled with fluttering sounds, either swallows or bats.
…
The lame Taoist passed through the palace gate and met the saint all night long.
"I was planning to invite the Imperial Master."
"I have disturbed your majesty's sleep. Please forgive me." Although the imperial master bowed to apologize, there was a bit of a smile on his face. "It's just that some interesting things happened in the city today. I thought your majesty would like it. I just didn't know that your majesty heard about it."
Have you passed?"
"I've heard something about it, but I don't know if it's the same as what the Imperial Master heard." The emperor said.
"I guess it's different."
"oh?"
"I dare you, Your Majesty, please speak first."
"I heard that Captain Chang passed away."
"Pindao also heard about it."
"I heard he died suddenly."
"Exactly."
"I heard that there was a demon who murdered Captain Chang."
"Of course."
"The Imperial Master said this. I am afraid that what I heard is really different from what the Imperial Master heard." The emperor chuckled twice, "I will ask the Imperial Master to tell me."
"Pindao heard that Lieutenant Chang had run out of oil and lamps, but he was worried about the future of his only son and refused to die, so he went around looking for strange people in the rivers and lakes to extend his life, and finally found a monster." The Imperial Preceptor was with the emperor.
Walking in the garden, half a step behind, he slightly bowed his upper body, "The demon appeared to have developed a magical elixir and tricked Taiwei Chang into taking it. In fact, he used evil methods to imprison Taiwei Chang's soul in his body after his death, and also managed to ensure that the body could function freely for the time being.
Chang Taiwei was made to think that he was still alive, but in fact he had been dead for two days. As for that strange man, he had already escaped with a lot of money under the pretext of gathering medicine."
"It's really different."
The emperor was still taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, with no surprise on his face: "The imperial master is more knowledgeable."
"Although your Majesty has heard that Captain Chang was killed by a young Taoist, in fact, your Majesty already knows what happened." The Imperial Preceptor said, "People from the Wu De Guard must have gone to investigate."
"Nothing can be hidden from the Imperial Master."
"Don't dare..."
"That one is the successor of Fulong Temple?"
"Exactly."
"Listen to the Imperial Master's lecture first."
"The only son in Taiwei's house, Chang, was looking for a future to please the queen, so he set his sights on a magical cat. Unexpectedly, the magical cat was the child of Taoist friend Fulong Guan. The son of Taiwei relied on his family background, often took advantage of him, and finally met an expert.
He was punished by an expert and had his hearing stripped off." The imperial master simply narrated, "After the Taiwei found out, he first asked someone to go to the Taoist monk's residence in Fulongguan to deliver gifts and beg for mercy. The Taoist monk did not agree, and then asked an official to go away for three days.
All the attempts were fruitless. Finally, as a last resort, he invited a Taoist priest whom Pindao knew well to use a spell to force fellow Taoist Fulongguan to surrender. During the period, he painted a picture as a matchmaker. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest appeared in the painting and revealed that he was dead.
After all, the witchcraft was broken and people were freed on the spot."
"Appearing in self-painting?"
"yes."
"It's like a spiritual manifestation."
"People who practice spirituality and practice at a high level may sometimes have the ability to manifest spirits even though they are not gods."
"Where are the rest of them?"
"In addition to being deprived of his hearing, the prince's son received the same punishment as the housekeeper and was forbidden to speak for the rest of his life."
"Um."
"The Taoist who was invited by Captain Chang to perform magic was originally from Juxian Mansion, and he also practiced in Luming Mountain with Pindao. However, Pindao later felt that this person had a wrong heart and practiced magic mostly to harm others, so he
After driving him out, this man was said to have often harmed others after living in the Jianghu in Changjing. The fellow Taoist who met Fulongguan in this way was also punished to not speak for a lifetime. Naturally, he was no longer allowed to cast spells, and was
He was tortured by the curses he often used to harm others. I heard that the Taoist friend asked him to go back to Luming Mountain to practice hard, but he made a lot of enemies in Changjing, and I don't know if he can still go back to Luming Mountain."
"What kind of magic is this?"
"The poor Taoist knows very little about magic. I don't know what kind of magic it is. I only heard that the fellow Taoist didn't cast the magic at that time. He only said that he would punish them with deafness, so they became deaf, and he punished them with muteness, and then they became mute."
"Um……"
"There was also a painter who had no intention of harming anyone, but was threatened with his life by the Taiwei, so he was not punished."
"interesting……"
The emperor couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Does the Imperial Master think that these fairy tales in folk rumors are like this?"
"yes……"
The Imperial Master trailed off, a little disappointed.
The emperor first asked about the methods of dharma, and then asked about the fate of the others to satisfy his desire to know more about the world of monasticism. As he grew older, he became more and more interested in these.
