Wei Hao carried Shi Taigong onto another horse. There was an old man guiding him, so he was not afraid of going wrong.
On the way, Yu Niang asked: "Shi Taigong, what are you trying to control here?"
"Oh, it's a convicted rat spirit."
Shi Taigong brushed his beard and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it will be expired in another hundred and twenty years."
"God, hasn't Mr. Shi been here for more than three hundred years?"
"I have been here since the previous dynasty, and it has been three hundred and eighty years."
Upon hearing this, she was stunned for nearly four hundred years, and Yu Niang was even more stunned: "Is that rat spirit actually kept here for five hundred years? What crime has this committed?"
"Stealing a dragon scale and keeping it in check for five hundred years is already a very generous act. If it were any other mouse, it would have been killed long ago. How can you still let the little old man stay here motionless for three hundred and eighty years?"
Speaking of this matter, Shi Taigong was quite proud of himself. Suppressing the ghosts who had made mistakes was always a good job.
Anyway, just stay still and practice on the spot.
If the local population is prosperous, this blessing will not only be for people, but also for the elves.
The original body of Shi Taigong has long been surrounded by local people and a temple has been built. The incense is also quite prosperous.
Just walking along the way, Wei Hao saw potholes everywhere and said: "Shi Taigong, you have a pothole in the east and a hole in the west. You just separated your family. Why is this?"
"These potholes are old trees that have aged well. They are used to make furniture and the tops are used as beams. They are all used together. Even if you don't use them, you can sell a tree for a lot of money."
"I'm not dead yet, but my son has separated the family first. It's really embarrassing!"
After Wei Hao finished speaking, he said angrily, "When I saw it, even Shi Taigong was about to be divided."
"Xianggong Wei is really joking. What do you want to do with a piece of stubborn stone?"
"Even if it's just a stepping stone?"
Wei Hao's words were angry, but they were also reality. They had reached the point of breaking up the family. It was estimated that each of them would have to lick the oil stains in the oil pot.
However, after walking for a while, I saw a small temple that was as tall as one person next to a big beech tree. Inside was the true form of Taigong Shi, a stubborn blue stone.
The small temple has black tiles and white walls, but it is neat and tidy, except for the outer area, which has suffered a lot.
The holes are connected together like ditches, and they are meant to dig out the big zelkova trees.
When Shi Taigong saw this, he was dumbfounded.
Just now I said that stubborn stones are useless and no one will tell me, but now I am just slapping myself in the face.
At this time, the crowd was moving and noisy. There were several men with red faces and thick necks, but they were all wearing Tongsheng hats. They must be scholars studying somewhere.
"I should have a share of this house-building stone!"
"How can four people divide a stone?"
"Then I don't care, if you have it, you will have it, if you don't have it...then you won't have it!"
"I am the eldest son, so of course the spiritual stone belongs to me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, family property has always been shared equally, you want to take it all for yourself?!"
"I am your brother!!!"
"You still know that you are the elder brother, and this is how you take care of your brothers?"
Several brothers were arguing incessantly at the entrance of the small temple, which made Wei Hao's blood pressure rise.
He immediately yelled: "Shut up!! We don't separate families when our parents are here! It's no wonder that you are also scholars!"
"who are you?"
"What do our own affairs have to do with you?"
"That's right, how can I allow you to meddle in other people's business?"
"There are other people waiting, so let's go quickly."
Wei Hao laughed angrily and stared at the four people: "You losers who can't even wear a scarf. I am Wei Hao, a student in Wufeng County. Which college among you is from? Tell me your name!"
"ah?!"
"Suzaku Academy Wei Xiang?"
"He is a scholar of Mingshu Science Department..."
"With merit and fame..."
The four brothers immediately changed their faces and hurried forward to flatter and salute.
"Underachievers, I have met Senior Wei..."
The four of them spoke together, their tone was kind, and they were completely different from just now.
Wei Hao went numb immediately, his face changed faster than the sky.
He was really shameless, arrogant at first and respectful at the end. Knowing that he was Wei Hao, the "Red Man Scholar", he immediately became such a flatterer.
"Stop fighting! You shameless people are worthy of calling me senior!"
Wei Hao was furious. He turned over and dismounted, but suddenly he felt that the ground was sinking, and a hole appeared. After a while, the entire ground was collapsing, and even the big beech tree next to the small temple also fell in an instant.
Already.
When the tree fell, the small temple was also destroyed, the tiles were shattered on the ground, and Shi Taigong's body was also covered with debris.
"Oh, it's really a sin for the juniors. I had to dig a tree a while ago, so I dug a hole in advance to occupy the position. I never thought that it would cause the ground to subside and let the beech tree fall. It's a sin for us to disturb Senior Wei..."
Hearing the brothers talking, Wei Hao was fine, but Taigong Shi was shocked.
"What?! We dug it a while ago?!"
Shi Taigong was horrified and quickly checked the underground. It was better not to explore. When he looked down, he found that the underground was empty except for a cave.
"Disaster! Disaster has arrived! That rat spirit actually escaped!!"
Taigong Shi was beating his chest and crying loudly. He had been ordered to suppress it for five hundred years, but it had already been three hundred and eighty years, and now he actually let the spirit of suppression escape!
"Um?"
When Wei Hao heard Shi Taigong's cries, he suddenly woke up and thought to himself: It is not something that a normal scholar should do, such as separation of the family while his parents are still alive.
So he walked to the ruins of the collapsed small temple, held on to the boulder protruding from the ground, and asked: "Tai Gong Shi, these brothers, were they always like this in the past, and the brothers became enemies?"
"How is that possible? This Shijia Villa is a blessed place. Not to mention the beautiful people, it can be regarded as a land of outstanding people. These four brothers were originally filial sons in the local area and brothers and sisters. They are quite famous in Wuya County."
"So... it's a drastic change in temperament?"
"Just a few days ago, there was a sudden quarrel over trivial matters, and in the end they refused to give in, even to the point of separation..."
"Well……"
Wei Hao nodded and suddenly had an idea.
A good family is suddenly about to fall apart. Is this what normal people should do?
And now, the rat spirit that Taigong Shi suppressed has also escaped, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
Wei Hao then asked: "How is the relationship between the rat spirit and Shi Taigong on weekdays?"
"The little old man is suppressing it. How can he have a good tone? He just curses every day and slanders every night..."
"In this way, it is appropriate."
"Oh! Mr. Wei, how come you still say 'it's appropriate' when disaster is imminent!"
"Shi Taigong, you are anxious and confused. Haven't you ever thought that the big change in temperament of these four brothers was caused by the rat spirit?"
"Uh, this..."
Shi Taigong was stunned for a moment, but he thought it was possible, but he still said strangely, "But it only has more than three hundred years of cultivation, and it has no means of deceiving people. How can it do such a thing?"
"There is no rat spirit, but can't I borrow it?"
Having said that, Wei Hao said, "On the way here, you said that the third prince Wu who rushed to the 'Dajiang Dragon God Mansion' was 'recruiting talents'..."
