After breakfast, Xu Ce called Ah Wei and asked him to cooperate with Mao Shanming, while Xu Ce himself stayed at the Baohe Inn with Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu has many questions that he needs to ask Xu Ce for advice. Although it feels a bit strange for the master to ask his disciple for advice, there is nothing that can be done about it. Who asked Xu Ce to become a foundation-building monk first? Uncle Jiu besides asking Xu Ce to talk about his feelings,
I can't find anyone else.
In addition to asking Xu Ce for advice, Uncle Jiu had another option, which was to go back to Maoshan and ask his elders for advice.
But the delay has been too long, and I can't leave now.
The master and the apprentice stayed in the inn for most of the day, and it was not until late afternoon that they left the inn and went to the government office.
Not long after Xu Ce and Uncle Jiu left, an uninvited guest in disguise appeared in the Bohe Inn.
This person is none other than the female bandit leader!
The female leader of the horse thief had been quietly hiding outside the Bohe Inn last night, observing secretly all night. She saw everything at Uncle Jiu's birthday party last night, including Xu Ce taking out the Yuanyang Pill, and she knew everything about it.
Chu.
But Xu Ce was too strong, so she didn't dare to act rashly. She kept waiting for Xu Ce and Uncle Jiu to leave the inn before she took action.
The female horse thief first sneaked into Xu Ce's room and started rummaging around. If she could find a pill similar to the Yuanyang Pill, she felt that she would be more certain of rescuing the two horse thief brothers.
However, the female bandit leader soon became disappointed. Xu Ce's room was empty, not a single hair was left.
Then, the female bandit leader went to Uncle Jiu's room and found a lot of things, including various low-value magic weapons and some simple clothes, which were equally worthless to her.
Finally, the female bandit leader opened Mao Shanming's room.
I was quickly attracted by two oil-paper umbrellas.
"What's this?"
The female bandit leader picked up the oil-paper umbrella and looked at it carefully. She ran her hand over the oil-paper umbrella and could clearly feel the Yin Qi coming.
Suddenly, a surprise flashed in the eyes of the female bandit leader.
She is an evil cultivator, but her main specialty is the art of poisoning, but this does not prevent her from knowing what is in this oil-paper umbrella, a little devil!
"Hmph! I didn't expect that the Maoshan monk who believed himself to be the righteous man would also raise a kid. It seems that he is just a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals his reputation!"
The female bandit leader snorted with disdain.
Then, the female bandit leader grabbed two oil-paper umbrellas, opened the window, jumped out nimbly, and then disappeared.
Yamen prison cell.
After Xu Ce and Uncle Jiu arrived, they saw that the security team members were very busy under Mao Shanming's various arrangements.
After Ah Wei saw the two coming, he walked over with a bitter look on his face and said speechlessly:
"Uncle Jiu, benefactor, you are here. What's going on with Taoist Master Mao? He keeps asking for all kinds of things. He wants eighteen roosters, three black dogs, and cinnabar and so on.
I remember that when we were dealing with so many ghosts in Yizhuang, we didn’t use so many things.”
"My benefactor, why don't you just take action? Master Maoshan Ming is just wasting people and money."
Ah Wei had a complaining look on his face. He had been busy for most of the day, but he was very tired.
Maoshan Ming didn't know why. This was obviously Taishan Town. This guy didn't go to the security captain of Taishan Town for help, but left everything to him, and Awei couldn't refuse.
Xu Ce glanced inside and saw that Mao Shanming was wearing a goose-yellow Taoist robe and was so busy that he didn't even notice that they were coming.
This gave Xu Ce some confidence, ten minutes, he must hold on.
Xu Ce smiled and said:
"Awei, try your best to satisfy Taoist Master Mao Shanming. If nothing happens, he will be my uncle in the future, which will also be good for you."
"Oh, I understand, benefactor."
Ah Wei nodded. Xu Ce had already spoken. What else could he say? What a miserable life!
"Captain Awei, you are helping me get some ink fountains and cinnabar. We are running out of cinnabar."
Mao Shanming shouted loudly.
Ah Wei had a black streak on his head and five kilograms of cinnabar had been used. The entire yamen was almost painted red. He gritted his teeth and replied:
"Okay, I'll get ready right now."
Mao Shanming turned around and saw Xu Ce and Uncle Jiu arriving. He walked over excitedly, cupped his hands and said:
"Uncle Jiu, Fellow Daoist Xu, you are here, it's a mess here..."
Xu Ce waved his hand and said:
"No problem, it is a great blessing for the people of Taishan Town to see fellow Taoist Mao being so serious.
Fellow Taoist Mao, don’t pay attention to us, you can go and do your business.”
Mao Shanming nodded and said:
"That's okay. I still have a lot of arrangements to make, so I'll get to work first."
"Go ahead."
…
"Master, it seems that I may have more than one master uncle."
Xu Ce said with a smile.
Uncle Jiu nodded,
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Mao's actions were beyond my expectations. As the saying goes, sincerity will lead to gold and stone. If you pay hard, you will definitely gain something.
Disciple Xu Ce, I think that if the female bandit leader really comes, and if Taoist friend Mao is defeated, we, master and disciple, have to save his life, otherwise I will not be able to overcome the hurdle in my heart."
"What Master said is absolutely true. This is natural. It is just a test. If it really takes the life of Taoist friend Maoshan Ming, spreading the word will also damage my reputation in Maoshan."
The two were chatting, and then looked at the unrecognizable yamen cell. The master and apprentice couldn't help but twitching at the corners of their mouths. When this matter is over, the security team members of the Taishan Town yamen will probably have to clean it.
Mao Shanming was scolded to death.
"Master, let's go back to the inn first. It's a bit hurtful to look at it here."
Xu Ce said, "I can't bear to look at it. All kinds of ghostly symbols are still in conspicuous places."
"Well, let's leave first so as not to affect Fellow Daoist Mao's free expression."
Uncle Jiu responded, and then the two of them turned around and left.
Out of sight, out of mind.
For an orthodox Taoist priest like Uncle Jiu, the preparations made by Mao Shanming are really too rough. If Uncle Jiu had done it instead, the materials would have been saved by at least half, and the effect would have been even better.
The sky is gradually getting dark.
On a graveyard in Taishan Town.
The female leader of the horse thief was digging a grave, covered in disgrace. Around her, more than twenty graves had been thrown away.
After leaving the Bohe Inn, the female bandit leader went to steal a shovel and has been busy until now.
After stealing Mao Shanming's oil-paper umbrella, she made a new plan. Since she was no match for Xu Ce, she would use Gu magic to create a powerful man to be her helper.
The ghost in the oil-paper fan is a soul, but what it lacks now is a corpse with a strong physical body, and the forbidden poison is applied to it!
