Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth The Return of the Departed will be General, King to King
"These are...yellow mushrooms and bamboo fungus? Others are..."
Wangcheng's home has a stable and can afford to raise good horses. It is considered a wealthy family in the county.
Therefore, he could recognize two of the fillings as expensive vegetarian ingredients, but he could not recognize the third one.
"When did the king change the fillings? Could it be that it wasn't originally..."
Wang Cheng looked stunned.
After a while, the tip of his nose felt slightly sore, and he bowed deeply towards the small courtyard.
Zhang, the Le brothers and others also gradually opened their eyes.
They lowered their heads and looked at Bi Luozhong, who saw that the vegetarian fillings were full of color and fragrance, and exuded delicious fragrance, and they all showed the same astonishment as if they were in the royal city.
This great king seems a little different from the one in the ghost rumors, right?
"Has the rain stopped?"
"No...still coming."
"But how can we..."
At this time, everyone realized that the pouring rain was still falling, but it could not get them wet.
In the mud in front of them, there was a "jade armor" that emitted a faint gleam, as if it had opened an invisible giant umbrella to protect them from the wind and rain.
Just like the small courtyard before.
In the small courtyard, at some point, a faint dim light was lit again.
The great king was obviously not asleep yet, or perhaps he had already woken up.
But no one dared to make any more noise.
They quietly ate the delicious biluo given by the king.
Then they continued to prostrate themselves in obeisance, with expressions of respect, emotion, and expectation...but no one spoke anymore.
Beside a jujube tree not far away, a tall man in a coir raincoat and bamboo hat looked at this scene with complexity.
He sighed softly, then quietly approached the wall of the small courtyard, jumped up, stepped on the wall several times, reached out to hook the eaves of the wall, and turned over, which was considered light and dexterous.
despair!
Lu Wu Jiu landed lightly in the courtyard.
When he raised his head, he saw Chen Chi standing under the eaves, looking towards him.
Their eyes met, and both of them looked a bit unnatural.
It was Chen Chi who spoke first: "Brother Lu, Master Yichen has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Wujiu nodded slightly.
The two walked side by side, half a foot apart, through the narrow corridor.
Chen Chi wanted to speak several times, but when he saw that Lu Wujiu didn't squint and didn't pay attention to him, he had to give up.
Under the bronze candlestick in the back room, a young monk was playing with a leaf.
Lu Wu Jiu bowed his head to the end, but when he stood up, his expression looked slightly embarrassed.
After saying goodbye at Qingchun Tower on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, he met the young monk face to face for the first time.
But he already knew in his heart that the person in front of him was a truly eminent monk who was playing in the human world and had profound Buddhist teachings.
I had mixed feelings all of a sudden? But I didn’t know where to start.
Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at Lu Wujiu, who had complicated eyes, and said with a smile: "Long time no see? "Captain Lu, how are you doing with Qian Jin?"
Lu Wujiu was startled. Then he heard Zhou Yi say again: "I heard that she has just turned one month old? She can already crawl on the ground. It seems that this woman's destiny is very precious. One day, she will marry the number one scholar?"
Madam, Mr. Lu needs to be trained well."
"this……"
How many times did Lu Wu Jiu laugh? He handed it over again: "Master, you really deserve the award. My little girl can only crawl a few months earlier than ordinary children. How can she have such a good life?"
Even so, there was eagerness in his eyes.
He is one of the few people in Wenhe County who understands how capable the monk in front of him is.
Is this a prediction from an expert? Hahaha? You know, my daughter is extraordinary!
With just a few words from Zhou Yi, all the previous barriers disappeared.
"Amitabha, what is the purpose of Patou Lu's visit tonight? The young monk already knows. I also want to ask Patou Lu to do a favor... persuade the people at the door to go back for me, so as not to miss the arrangement of the young monk."
Hearing the last word "arrangement"? Lu Wu Jiu's eyes lit up slightly.
But he was still a little uneasy. He sighed and said, "It's really weird in the county tonight. It is said that many county residents have encountered ghosts and ghosts, and even their lives are in danger. I really don't know if they can be saved."
Zhou Yi whispered: "Captain Lu, don't use these vulgar temptations on young monks. Let's leave quickly while the rain is light. If you don't leave, it will rain heavily."
Lu Wujiu's old face turned slightly red.
He said goodbye to Zhou Yi and crossed his arms. Before leaving, he glanced at the leaves Zhou Yi was playing with... they seemed familiar.
Outside the small courtyard.
Lu Wujiu hesitated for a moment and then walked over.
"This is Lu Wujiu, the county's top arrester. Please come back, all of you."
No matter how much Lu Wu Jiu tried to persuade them, everyone refused to leave. On the contrary, they reminded Lu Wu Jiu to speak in a low voice and not to disturb the king's rest.
"The great king...the great king on the head of the underworld king?"
After learning about Yichen's other identity from everyone, Lu Wujiu was dumbfounded, but deep down in his heart, he was not surprised.
He pondered for a moment, then deliberately said with a straight face: "Everyone who is here tonight has already violated the county's curfew order. If you still don't leave, don't blame Lv for being ruthless."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Zhang's voice sounded: "I heard that Capt. Lu rushed over as soon as possible tonight. Could it be that he also knew that the master was the king of the underworld? I would like to ask Capt. Lu to confirm whether the king will do it or not."
Will you mind our business?"
The leaf in Zhou Yi's hand appeared in Lu Wu Jiu's mind again.
The leaves are yellow and green, as big as an animal's paw, and they seem to be... the leaves of the old locust tree at the entrance of Wangcai Village!
He also recalled that after the murder in Wangcai Village, the villagers told him something related to it - a strange thing about the big locust tree.
A vague thought flashed through me.
Lu Wu Jiu glanced at everyone and said calmly: "I think he will take care of it."
Everyone looked at each other silently for a long time, and Wang Cheng took the lead in nodding.
"I believe in the great king, and I also believe in Lu Patou."
"So is a certain person."
"With Lu Baotou's words, tonight is not in vain... Oh, and that biluo is so delicious."
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Lu Wujiu also hurried home.
When there was no one in front of the small courtyard, a few faint chuckles sounded from an empty street corner not far away, sharp and harsh.
"Giggle, giggle, what a bunch of ordinary people, stupid people, stupid women, so easy to fool."
"If that great king really had a way, he should have taken action long ago."
"What a pity. It's a waste of time and incompetence. The Great King only has one person. How can he rescue more than 90 places in the county by himself?"
"After tonight, there will be many new dead souls in this county. What kind of king in the south of the city has a false name and is so ridiculous."
…
"Damn it! How dare you humiliate Master like this!"
In the back room of the small courtyard, Chen Chi clenched his fists and became furious when he heard the sarcastic words.
"Don't be provoked by them. It's pitiful for a group of lonely ghosts to be used by the ghost behind the scenes... So in the end, send them along with you."
Under the dim candlelight, Zhou Yi said with a smile.
Chen Chi frowned, feeling that as the long night was coming to an end, the yin energy in Wenhe County was getting stronger and stronger, and he was secretly anxious in his heart.
Even if the master is waiting for the ghost behind the scenes to show up.
But once it comes, how can we force it to appear?
Secondly, if it does not show up for a long time, the ghost disaster in Wenhe County will become more and more serious. In a few days, those ghosts will become more serious and cause great harm to the living people in the world.
Let alone a few days...after tonight, I am afraid that many innocent people in the county will lose their lives at the hands of ghosts and monsters.
The monk's whisper came from behind, "Don't worry, it's back."
Chen Chi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Zhou Yi twisting the leaf he had been playing with before - a locust tree leaf.
"Ah? Who is that?" Chen Chi asked.
Zhou Yi put down the leaves, stood up and stretched a lot.
"One of your former 'old friends' was also an 'elite' in Wenhe County in the past, whose conduct was by no means inferior to Mrs. Chu's.
With its help, the young monk can be lazy again this night."
Although Chen Chi didn't know who the "old friend" was, he knew in his heart that the master definitely didn't really want to be lazy.
Rather, they are worried about taking action rashly, alerting the enemy, and scaring away the ghost behind the scenes.
After all, he is an omnipotent holy monk who can exorcise ghosts and monsters.
As the saying goes, pawns versus pawns, generals versus kings, kings versus kings.
The ghost behind the scenes has not yet appeared, so there is no need for Master to act rashly.
…
On the outskirts of Wenhe County, south of Qingniu Mountain.
The torrential rain was hitting the rocks and mud, and a hazy figure was approaching quickly from far away.
Not long after, the tall man, like a stream of blue light, crossed into Wenhe County.
He wore an extended, wide-brimmed bamboo hat to cover up his strange face, which was much longer than ordinary people.
…
"How dare you harm the common people and disturb the great sage. Even though I am thousands of miles away, I, Xiao Huai, will rush back on my horse and will not refuse even though I am far away!"
