Chapter 086 The eighth case, sending children to Buddha
Shouzhu!?
Mai Xiaorou said that the red ball in my hand was the longevity bead, which made me stunned. Mai Xiaorou continued: "This time you have to thank the Snake King Pendant. It not only saved you."
I saved my life and helped you keep the longevity pearl, this is all your chance!"
When I looked at the little ball covered with red hair, I only felt it was a little scratchy, and I didn't feel there was anything inconspicuous about it at all.
Mai Xiaojudo: "Eat it!"
I raised the longevity beads in my hand and said, "How about I pluck these hairs first and then wash them with water? Or I can find a pot and get some boiling water to boil them!"
Mai Xiaorou asked me: "Would you like to get some more peppercorns and stir-fry them with some oil and salt!?"
I said: "That's best!"
Mai Xiaorou smiled slightly and said: "Stop talking so fast and eat quickly. That's how I ate back then!"
I still couldn't swallow, so Mai Xiaorou walked up to me and asked me to open my mouth. Then she pinched and cut the longevity beads and stuffed them into my mouth.
I was about to vomit when Mai Xiaorou suddenly put her lips on my mouth and blew a breath of sinister air into my mouth.
The yin energy and the furry longevity beads rolled directly into my throat.
My throat suddenly felt an indescribable tingling sensation!
"Cough cough cough..."
I coughed desperately, but I couldn't cough up anything. When the thing reached my stomach, I couldn't help but feel sick. But this was not the yin energy of the Shouzhu, but the feeling in my heart.
Diaphragm response.
After a while, I didn't feel any discomfort in my stomach, so I felt relieved.
Mai Xiaojudo: "Okay, now you have a longevity bead in your body just like me. In this way, your lifespan can be increased by at least ten years. If the longevity bead is well integrated with you, it will be within three years.
You can definitely break through the Heavenly Master Qualification and become a near-level Heavenly Master!"
I nodded and twisted the dagger in my hand again.
Mai Xiaorou continued: "You should keep that dagger for self-defense. The thing Yang Zhi uses should not be ordinary."
I said "hmm" and said nothing.
Next, Mai Xiaorou took me back to the small hotel in the town.
When we got back to the hotel, Mai Xiaorou told me not to tell anyone about my encounter with Yang Zhi tonight, and not to let Zhang Rui and Tang Qing know that I had the longevity pearl.
I nodded and said yes, since Zhang Rui and Tang Qing have hidden something from us, there is no need for us to be honest with them.
After resting at the hotel until dawn, we hit the road again. By this time, the heavy fog had dissipated.
We drove back to the Tangfu Tea House in the provincial capital before noon.
When we got here, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were already waiting here. After seeing them, I couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You have come back from Gangli Village. I thought you would have to stay there longer."
How many days?"
Zhang Rui and Tang Qing both looked ugly, and their breathing was slightly unsmooth. They must have been injured in Gangli Village last night. It should have been caused by the fight with Yang Zhi and the old lunatic from the Tang family.
Yes.
Zhang Rui smiled bitterly at me and said, "No, we came back last night. Something happened in Gangli Village."
I asked Zhang Rui what was going on.
Zhang Ruidao: "Shortly after you left, Yang Zhi and the Tang family's traitors suddenly appeared. Although they were beaten away by us in the end, they caused us some injuries. I, Junior Sister Tang, am still losing my temper!"
Tang Qing stared at Zhang Rui and said "hum" without saying anything.
Zhang Rui and Tang Qing didn't say anything, but Mai Xiaorou and I could actually guess what happened last night. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing came to support the masters of the Tang family, and then took the longevity among the thousand-year corpse king.
After taking out the pearl, the corpse king woke up. Although his strength was greatly reduced, it was still enough for them to drink a pot.
It was probably at this time that Yang Zhi and the old lunatic from the Tang family took advantage of the situation and took away the longevity pearl.
The two people probably ran away separately, but they couldn't catch up. Not only were they injured, but the longevity beads were lost, it's strange that they weren't angry.
Zhang Rui continued: "Well, we have completed this case. There is no more curse. The people in Gangli Village will slowly recover after some treatment. Your seventh case is also completed. As for the
Your next case should be arranged by Brother Li Dao!"
I said "Oh" and said, "Your car has been left at the door of the teahouse for you. If there is nothing here, we will leave first."
Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
Tang Qing didn't say anything and went directly to a private room. It seemed that she was angry with Zhang Rui, probably blaming Zhang Rui for his poor decision-making.
Zhang Rui smiled at us and said, "You guys can drive the car first. I'm afraid I'll be grounded these days and won't be able to drive it for the time being!"
"Grounded?" I couldn't help but look at Zhang Rui curiously.
Zhang Rui smiled and said: "Forget it, it's a long story. Let's talk about it slowly when we have the opportunity in the future."
With that said, Zhang Rui went after Tang Qing.
Zhang Rui is banned. Should I sympathize with him, or laugh at him for his own suffering!?
I was not polite when Zhang Rui let me drive the car. Mai Xiaorou and I always took public transportation, which was always a bit inconvenient.
That evening we went to the wreath shop in the county seat. When we came this time, Li Guidao was here, but Li Dihuang was not there.
After meeting Li Guidao and saying hello, he smiled and said to us: "We haven't seen each other for a while. The recent cases have been good. The seventh one has been completed. At this rate, it will not take three years."
, you will be able to complete all those thirty-six cases. Once those thirty-six cases are completed, you will be much freer to take on new cases, and you will not have to come here every day for us to arrange them for you!"
Mai Xiaorou and I didn't speak much before Li Guidao continued: "I already know about the case in Licun where you were on duty last night. Were you plotted by Zhang Rui and Tang Qing?"
I frowned and looked at Li Guidao. I really didn't expect him to be so well-informed.
When Li Guidao saw me frowning, he laughed "haha" and said, "Don't be surprised. Even though my master is a small wreath shop, he is very well-informed about his dealings. Not only do I know that they have plotted against you, but I also know that they have plotted against you."
Missed!"
At this point, Li Guidao stopped his smile and said seriously: "Because of this mistake, the Tang family lost two heavenly masters who were in the tribulation period. The head of the Tang family was furious and now banned Zhang Rui and Tang Qing.
If they are not enough, they will have to do odd jobs at Tang Fu Teahouse for the next six months."
Lost two heavenly masters in the tribulation period!? I asked Li Guidao if that meant death.
Li Guidao said, yes!
I quickly asked again: "Did the corpse king from Gangli Village escape?"
Li Guidao said "Eh" and said, "You actually know this. That's right. Fellow Taoist Mai is a corpse, and the corpse poison he was exposed to is the same as that of the corpse in Gangli Village. You can feel its poison."
It is reasonable to exist.”
Hearing what Li Guidao said, I started to feel a little nervous. He seemed to be able to analyze everything. So, would he know that I ate longevity beads?
Fortunately, Li Guidao did not mention the longevity beads, but continued to talk about the corpse king: "As for the corpse king, it doesn't matter, it has been taken care of. If the corpse king runs away again, then Zhang Ruihe
Tang Qing is not as simple as grounding him!"
Speaking of this, Li Guidao paused for a moment and then said: "I heard that Yang Zhi and the Tang family's traitors also appeared in that case last night and took away the longevity pearl. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing made the Tang family's business this time.
Big payout!"
Li Guidao kept talking about these things, seemingly carelessly, but I vaguely noticed that he was testing our tone to see how much we knew about last night's events.
After understanding this, I will remain silent.
Mai Xiaorou was afraid that she had understood it a long time ago, so she remained silent after entering the door.
Seeing that Mai Xiaorou and I were both silent, Li Guidao took the initiative to stop the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about your eighth case."
I asked curiously: "Is there any arrangement so soon?"
Li Guidao said: "Yes, this eighth case cannot wait. You need to rush over before the day after tomorrow. By the way, did Fellow Daoist Mai use your family's soul-weaving net to weave the soul net in the sycamore forest of Bainiaozhai?"
Captured nearly a hundred stray ghosts!?"
Mai Xiaorou nodded and said: "Exactly, there are so many hesitation ghosts, and I have never found a suitable opportunity to send them away."
Li Guidao said "hmm", then handed Mai Xiaorou a photo and said, "This case will provide an opportunity to help you get rid of all those ghosts!"
Mai Xiaorou and I went to look at the photo at the same time. It was a photo of a white jade Guanyin statue. Because the photo was a close-up shot, we couldn't tell where the Guanyin statue was taken.
From this photo, we can't see why.
Li Guidao said to us: "The name of your case this time is 'Songzi Buddha'. The white jade Buddha statue in the photo looks like Guanyin, but it is not. The white jade Buddha statue is a Buddhist statue hundreds of years ago."
As for why a Buddhist statue should be carved for her, a lay disciple who practices Buddhism, there is a story in it, do you want to listen to it?"
Mai Xiaorou and I nodded.
But just when Li Guidao was about to tell a story, a man's voice suddenly came from the second floor: "Guidao, come here first, I have something to explain to you."
Li Guidao immediately said: "Yes, Master, I'm coming right away!"
After that, Li Guidao asked us to wait and then ran upstairs.
Li Guidao’s master, isn’t he the Five Ghost Saints? One of the Three Saints in the supernatural world today!
After Li Guidao went up, I suddenly remembered something. Mai Xiaorou and Grandpa Mai were not as strong as the Heavenly Master. How did they defeat the Corpse King and escape back then.
The Tang family lost two Heavenly Masters in the Tribulation Stage! Those were the most powerful levels among the Heavenly Masters.
Mai Xiaorou said: "It's very simple. At that time, we didn't have as much corpse energy as the introduction in Gangli Village, so the corpse king was a little weaker, but even then, I still saved my life, and now it has become
corpse!"
I did not continue to ask any more questions, but calmly waited for Li Guidao to come back. At the same time, I was also looking forward to meeting the Five Ghost Saints! (To be continued)
