old grace

Chapter 298

More than 30 years ago, when Xie Qinghe first came out of the rivers and lakes, he came to Xun City, and he still barely remembered the layout of the north and south of the city.

He asked Ding Tong and others where Gao Sheng's house lived, and saw that he seemed to be going to visit Gao Sheng's house soon, suspecting that his party was a private visit by a high-ranking official. Zheng Qi and Qian Zhu were very concerned, and urged him repeatedly. : "Brother Zun, that Gao Sheng is really evil, and even the county government's 'Ming Jing Gao Xuan' can't suppress him. If you want to go to his home to question the crime, I'm afraid you have to ask for one or two things in the town, so you can't beat him." evil spirit."

The folks believe that both the imperial power and the upright officials have great power, the dragon spirit of the emperor can suppress evil spirits, and the authority bestowed by high officials can also suppress evil spirits.As for why the Xun Chengling didn't expose Gao Sheng's true colors and allowed him to harm Ding Butcher?That, of course, is because the officials of the Xicheng Order are not big enough!

"Thank you for your advice, I will understand it." Xie Qinghe thanked a few words sincerely, and said goodbye to Zheng Qi and others.

Xie Qinghe returned to his home table, seeing Fu Chuan who was holding a teacup was obviously nervous and cramped.He wanted to comfort his junior brother with a few words, but he couldn't even convince himself. He could only touch Fu Chuan's head and comfort him: "It's never too late to make up for it. Let's deal with it as soon as possible."

The three or two years when Gao Sheng was in trouble in Xun City happened to be the time when Fu Chuan officially took over the affairs of the outer sect of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

There's not even the slightest room for turning around in this matter.There are another 1 reasons. If something goes wrong, Fu Chuan, as the principal, must be responsible.Even if Xie Qinghe is in the position of Fu Chuan, he has to take the blame honestly.

He specifically emphasized the word "we", which is to expressly declare that I am not responsible for this matter as the head of the sect.I am your Taoist companion, your senior brother, and I will solve troubles with you.

A few simple words made Fu Chuan calm down. He bent down and picked up the little leopard, and kept nodding: "Yes. Let's deal with it now. Senior brother, I will pay the bill, so let's go."

"I heard that the lucky student lives in the mansion on the east side of the water bridge."

Xie Qinghe judged the location and direction based on the layout of the city in his memory, and pointed to the long street in the east. "Let's go meet him and see what he is."

The younger brother is deep and sensitive, and the two are always entangled in public affairs and personal affairs. Xie Qinghe can only try his best to comfort him.

Always emphasizing "we" and bringing Fu Chuan by his side every time, all wanting to imply to Fu Chuan that their relationship is not only the master and disciple, but also the closest Taoist couple in the world, the sweetheart who supports each other.

Fu Chuan looked back at him: "Elder brother, I understand."

Xie Qinghe patted him on the shoulder: "Okay."

Yun Chao, who was behind him, swallowed the egg in his mouth before standing up.

When passing the small cart next to the food stall stove, Yun Chao suddenly bent down, and took a carrot from the small basket hidden inside.

Fu Chuan paid money very richly when reconciling accounts, and the peddler made a lot of blood, but he didn't care about taking the radish he ate at lunch as an extra.He watched happily as Yun Chao wiped the radish on his sleeve, and took a bite.Hey, it's delicious.

The peddler was counting the money happily, Yun Chao, who was walking away, tossed his hand, and a gold leaf fell directly into the peddler's hand.

The peddler was dumbfounded.

Gold Leaf!

gold?solid? ...really gold? !

Yun Chao held up two fingers and shook them, and the person had drifted away.

——The master gave me a lot of money, but I had no chance to spend it.Buy a radish and eat it, it's very good, relieve the tiredness!

■

The Gao family's mansion is located on the east side of the water bridge. It was originally the property of Yugong, the prefect of Tongling, Yue's family, and it was used as a dowry for Yu's family.

This house is suitable for Taishou Yu to live in, Gao Sheng is only a mere boy, so it is inevitable that he has exceeded the rules.Fortunately, in recent years, the political situation has been peaceful, and the emperor has not pursued the people's trespassing very much. In the deep house and compound, ordinary people can't get in, and even if they are a little bit out of line, they are locked in the door.

Standing in front of the Gao family's mansion, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were watching the feng shui inside the house, neither of them saw any evil spirits.

On the contrary, the little black panther lying in Fu Chuan's arms let out a threatening whine, and its hair stood on end.

Fu Chuan let out an uh, wow wow wow: [Can we talk? 】

The little black panther wowed and wowed to express a meaning, there is something very powerful in it, she can't beat it.

Fu Chuan let her stick into his arms, stroked her ears and chin, and comforted her: [You don't need to hit her.Don't be afraid. 】

The little black panther's round eyes lingered on Xie Qinghe's body for a moment, then plunged headlong into Fu Chuan's creaking nest, as if wanting to bury his head in it.Fu Chuan was at a loss for what to do by her, and was still a little itchy: [Oh, don't get into it, it's not a pocket, it's a creaky nest... I'm protecting you, I'm hugging and hugging, my arms are in the way, don't be afraid. 】

Seeing that the junior brother was almost unable to control the situation, Xie Qinghe raised his sword formula, and Hanjiang sword ring came out in response.

In order not to shock the world and disturb the people, the sword ring of Hanjiang turned into a phantom when it flew out, and went straight to the sky.From a height of tens of miles, an invisible barrier was lowered, covering the entire Gao family mansion.

Since the little black panther proved that the Gao family mansion was different, Xie Qinghe skipped posting and visiting.

"Go in and have a look."

Several people climbed in directly from the courtyard wall.

The layout of the Gao family mansion is orderly, the servants are placed in the front house, the garden is in the back, and the master's residence is in the middle.

After entering the house, I saw a few beautiful maidservants chatting and embroidering flowers in the house, and there were also vases, fruit plates and snack boxes in the servant's room, which were full everywhere, and it seemed that they were living a good life.Just standing by and listening for a while, Fu Chuan frowned slightly.

These beautiful maidservants who were chatting and laughing together were talking obscene words that could not be seen, and the protagonist of the topic was "Master".

Gao Sheng has only one widowed mother, and he is the only "father" in the family.

From the conversations of the beautiful maidservants, I learned that they were not lowly slaves, this one was the wife of the Hou family, that one was the daughter-in-law of the Ding family...all of them were female relatives of Gao Sheng's former enemies.They casually talked about their former husband's family, and even compared their ex-husband's and "grandfather's" bed skills. Panting again and again.

Fu Chuan gave Xie Qinghe a wink: Is this bewitched?

——How could it be possible that all the wives of Gao Sheng's enemies hated her husband's family so much?Fu Chuan didn't see anything special.

Xie Qinghe made a gesture, signaling to speak in front.

There may be some masters in the Gao family, and the beautiful maids guarding the front building are all ordinary people. Xie Qinghe and the others passed by the door swaggeringly, they were immersed in laughter and didn't notice it, they were still chatting about embroidery, laughing coquettishly.

When the house is big, there will inevitably be vacant spaces, and it is impossible for people to be everywhere all the time.

Xie Qinghe's walk in Gao's house was like visiting an observatory, he opened the door and entered a flower hall, followed by Fu Chuan, and Yun Chao closed the door behind him.

"Ah Shou is so nervous, that thing should be in the house. I can't sense it." Xie Qinghe gestured, "It must be the same as what happened last night. This kind of monster can live in the chaos of yin and yang, and it is hard to find in the yang world. Junior brother, take out the ever-burning lamp and follow me."

He wants to open the underworld.

Fu Chuan took out the ever-burning lamp from the space, imitated Xie Qinghe's appearance, and tucked it behind his back with the never leave or abandon spell.

After Xie Qinghe confirmed his preparation, he also took a look at Yun Chao who was standing by the door. Yun Chao bowed and nodded, and then he picked up his fingerprints, chanted a spell and cast a spell to break through the underworld.In an instant, the surrounding scenery overlapped in depth, and countless times were condensed into an instant.

The underworld has come.

Xie Qinghe took Fu Chuan's hand, seeing that it was a little inconvenient for Fu Chuan to hold the little black panther, so he took the little black panther and carried it in his hand.

"Eldest brother," Fu Chuan watched as the little black panther was grabbed by the back of the neck cowardly, "I... hold it."

Xie Qinghe changed his mind, hugged the little black panther in his arms, and tilted his head to signal: "Let's go."

Walking in the underworld also needs to bypass the obstacles in the yang world. Without the ever-burning lights, Fu Chuan would have no idea how to walk.With Xie Qinghe leading the way, Fu Chuan still had the lantern tucked into his body, so he couldn't help but look back at Yun Chao—he was worried that Yun Chao would get lost in the underworld.

Yun Chao didn't look at the road at all, and followed behind them at a leisurely pace, with walls piercing walls and pillars piercing pillars, as if there was nothing.

Fu Chuan was also not curious about Yun Chao's origin, anyway, if Yun Chao could keep up, he would not look back.

Walking along the shadowy road for a while, Fu Chuan saw a half-empty and half-real wonder again.

It was a high platform like a palace, towering into the sky, extremely majestic and magnificent.There is a green pool under the stage, the water is sparkling, and a foot-long red carp swims leisurely under the lotus leaves.The white jade steps and the golden rails are full of opulence and wealth.

Fu Chuan couldn't help looking up at the palace that went straight into the sky: "I live so high up, isn't it tiring to climb up and down?"

"Yun Chao." Xie Qinghe ordered.

Yun Chao, who was behind him, took a quick step, and the sword ring on his thumb flew out. He chased the long sword and flew out, holding the sword in his hand.

With just one strike, the foundation of the high platform was directly leveled.

Different from the buildings of the Yang Dynasty, this towering palace did not drop bricks, stones and wood. After being dug up by Yun Chao, it was like a painting with its nails removed, floating from the sky lightly. fall.

Along with the "Palace" picture scroll falling, there were two naked men and women hugging each other.

As soon as the woman stretched out her hand, clothes flew from nothingness, wrapped the two of them, and stared at Yun Chao vigilantly.

The man, however, was so angry that his face was flushed, and he moved the baby that was not in the right place with indecent movements, and roared: "Zhong Zhong, why don't you kill these reckless and rude wild men!"

Xie Qinghe can't tell which of these two people is the monster.

Both of them looked like ordinary human beings, they didn't have evil spirits on them, and they didn't have the characteristics of animals like Ah Shou.The women are slender and beautiful, while the men are tall and tall, with extraordinary physiques, and they are all in good health without hidden diseases.

With a thought, Xie Qinghe looked down at the little black panther lying in his arms: "Which one are you afraid of?"

The little black panther whimpered at the woman, and didn't dare to crawl into Xie Qinghe's nest, and even covered his eyes with his paws.

Gao Sheng also noticed something unusual at this time.Xie Qinghe and the others looked calm and fearless, but Hu Zhongzhong behind him remained silent and hadn't even made a move to kill anyone.He was not afraid, walked up to Xie Qinghe with his head held high, and asked, "Who are you waiting for? Why did you come to my Happy Heavenly Palace?"

Xie Qinghe's eyes fell on the woman and asked, "What are you?"

After the woman thought it over, she didn't run away, didn't answer, a long whip flew out of her sleeve and lashed towards Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan was very ashamed and annoyed.The temptress thought for a long time and finally chose him to attack, obviously she looked down on him, thinking that he was the weakest point among the three.Weaker than the elder brother, he also recognized it.This seductress actually thinks that he is weaker than Yun Chao!This is quite shameless!

When the long whip struck, Fu Chuan quickly took out the Muhe Spear from the portable space, and flew forward.

Xie Qinghe closely followed Fu Chuan's figure, ready to respond at any time, and said helplessly to Yun Chao, "I'm angry."

Yun Chao originally wanted to catch up with his helper, but when he heard Xie Qinghe stop him, he stood aside with his hands tied.The little master is angry, so naturally he has to vent his anger himself, so it's not easy for him to go up and join in the fun.

However, Xie Qinghe watched Fu Chuan's end with a little pampering at the last moment, but as soon as he finished speaking, his face became extremely solemn.

Fu Chuan stabbed several times and forced the temptress to move around in the void. He was also taken aback when he could distinguish the temptress's figure and steps. Grabbing the tip of the whip, he pulled it hard: "Who is the art of the temptress?!"

No one thought that he looked gentle and handsome, but he was so savage in fighting!

Hu Zhongzhong's long whip was pulled so tightly by him, it was absolutely impossible to pull it out, even people were pulled back and forth by him.

Fu Chuan's right hand holding the whip was also dripping with blood, but he didn't intend to let go at all. The tip of his left pistol approached Hu Zhongzhong's face: "I ask you, who is the art from? If you don't understand today, you will be tortured." !"

Hu Zhongzhong tugged twice but didn't move, he just let go, two silver lights flew out from between his fingers, which turned out to be very rare Emei thorns.

Fu Chuan's extremely stern and ferocious eyes just half faded, he threw away the long whip she left behind, and tried to attack her a few times.The woman was as proficient at using the Emei thorn as with the long whip, but she was no match for Fu Chuan at all—Fu Chuan didn't hit her as viciously as before. Such a handsome and beautiful skill.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.Both Xie Qinghe and Yun Chao knew that Fu Chuan had the chance to win, but Gao Sheng felt that he was about to win.

"What is your origin? Why did you come to my house to be aggressive?" Gao Sheng asked Xie Qinghe again.

Yun Chao looked him up and down several times, and asked, "You are so upright and calm, do you really think that you are blessed and will never die?"

Gao Sheng showed a mysterious smile.

Before he could speak, Yun Chao slammed his fist on his face, frowned and said, "Why are you smiling?"

Yun Chao withdrew [-]% of his force when he shot, but this punch still hit Gao Sheng so hard that he couldn't make a sound, and fell straight down.

This punch also startled Hu Zhongzhong who was fighting with Fu Chuan, she made a hasty feint, stepped in front of Gao Sheng, and glared at Yun Chao: "Don't hurt my husband!" Her voice was indescribably delicate Soft and glutinous, like newborn wildflowers in the dew of late spring.

As soon as the words fell, Yun Chao turned over and landed behind her, dragging Gao Sheng who was lying on the ground to a distance.

Hu Zhongzhong was about to chase after her, but Fu Chuan's spear just touched her throat: "Speak well, my elder brother doesn't like your husband very much."

Before this, no one knew how the relationship between the man and woman was. Hu Zhongzhong was very tight in protecting his husband, but he took the initiative to hand over his vitals.

Now that Yun Chao has Gao Sheng in his hands, Hu Zhongzhong can't beat Fu Chuan who is blocking the way, so he can only stomp his feet bitterly: "Okay. I'll give you the skin, don't hurt my husband!" She still held two Emei coins in her hand Thorn, without saying a word, pierced the sharp thorn into the side of the neck, and pulled out a hole.

Surprised, Fu Chuan stopped quickly: "Stop!"

Hu Zhongzhong had already scratched his skin with his hands, as if he really wanted to peel himself out alive, he was quite angry when he heard this: "You want to go back on your word?! Don't you just want my skin? Why don't I give it to you?"

"I don't want your skin." Fu Chuan couldn't stand it anymore, and shot the Emei thorn flying away from Hu Zhongzhong's hand.

Hu Zhongzhong was even more surprised: "You..." She always thought that Fu Chuan's kung fu was almost the same as hers, but who knew that Fu Chuan could take away her weapon so easily.

"You answer my question first. What are you?" Fu Chuan asked.

This question seemed to offend Hu Zhongzhong, she took a breath of displeasure, and said reluctantly: "I am a fox. It is the fox you use to sew clothes and make scarves. Do you really want my fur now?" gone?"

This temptress can't get around the matter of leather.With a thought in his mind, Fu Chuan asked, "Who told you that we want your skin?"

Hu Zhongzhong thought for a while, looked back suspiciously at Gao Sheng who was still in a coma, then looked at the little black panther held in Xie Qinghe's arms, and asked back: "You...you really don't want my skin?"

"It is true that you have seen people wearing fox fur in the world. Then have you ever seen someone wearing human skin?" Fu Chuan asked back.

Hu Zhongzhong said in amazement: "But I, I am a fox."

"You don't say you are a fox, who would know that you are a fox? Neither the senior brother nor I can tell." Fu said.

Hu Zhongzhong was stunned.

After a while, she cautiously asked Fu Chuan: "You really don't know that I'm a fox?" Before Fu Chuan could answer, she shrank her neck again and muttered to herself, "Yes, if he knew I It's a fox, why ask me what it is again?"

"Now that you know I'm a fox, don't you want my skin?" Hu Zhongzhong asked again.

"No." Fu Chuan pointed at Gao Sheng, "Did he tell you that someone wanted your skin?"

Hu Zhongzhong pursed his lips, showing a trace of stubbornness: "Humans are the primates of all things. It is not a shame for a fox to be coaxed by others."

After Fu Chuan talked to her for a few words, he felt that the situation was not right, so he couldn't help asking, "How old are you?"

Hu Zhongzhong raised his head, held up her slender fingers still covered with blood, and said old-fashionedly: "Five years old!"

Even if Fu Chuan already had some associations, he was still struck by lightning when he suddenly got this answer!He just saw Gao Sheng and Hu Zhongzhong hugged together and fell from the sky with hot eyes. Hu Zhongzhong is quite different from A Shou - she has no animal shape in her body, just like ordinary people. Fu Chuan is very difficult to accept.

"He knows you are only five years old?!" Fu Chuan asked angrily.

"Why do your questions always gossip? I am a fox. I am five years old. I lived in the woods outside the city when I was a child. Three years ago, my mother suddenly disappeared. I came to the city to look for her and met my husband. He He lied to me that if he didn't stay at home, he would be arrested by a Taoist priest to make a scarf. I will stay here with him until today." Hu Zhongzhong said.

At this point, Fu Chuan suddenly reminded: "Brother Yun Chao!"

Yun Chao looked at Gao Sheng who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and said, "Don't worry, little master, I'm watching him."

Fu Chuan evaluated Hu Zhongzhong's confession, then looked at Gao Sheng, and asked: "You admit to being so ignorant, where did Gao Sheng's bizarre luck come from? He taught you how to make the former enemies' family fortunes disappear? It was him Teach you to bewitch the eunuch's daughter? He taught you to rob women from good families?"

Hu Zhongzhong was confused: "Huh?"

"It's also he who taught you to help him get a million-dollar family, a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and a half-city scene. But the only thing you don't want to do is to touch the career that you have been obsessed with since you were young. Get an official position and be a high-ranking official?” Fu Chuan asked the most important point.

Gao Sheng's fortune was definitely guided by an expert who is familiar with the inside story of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

He is domineering in the city of Xun, but never persecutes the "old friends" who escaped from the city of Xun.He can control people's hearts, he can bring prosperity to the sky, he has money, and he also has a good wife, but his most desired career has not improved.Zhiguai novels also like to write about little monsters who repay their kindness, make their benefactor rich, get a good wife, give birth to a son, and become the number one scholar.

Unless, someone pointed out Gao Sheng and told him that there are people who can reach the sky above the court, and if they make too much noise, they will "draw attention".

Hu Zhongzhong was ignorant and ignorant, but Fu Chuan thought that Gao Sheng had something else wrong.But Gao Sheng also lay on the ground like a dead dog.Is there someone else planning everything behind it?Or... Hu Zhongzhong and Gao Sheng, who is pretending to be stupid?

Just now.

Xie Qinghe made a sudden move, and slapped Hu Zhongzhong with a palm in the air.

There was no suspense in this palm, Fu Chuan didn't even have the confidence to react, Hu Zhongzhong fell down in response.

She could no longer maintain her human form, curled up on the ground for a moment, and directly transformed into a red fox with smooth fur.

Seeing that she was about to run, Fu Chuan blocked her way with a gun and said, "Don't move."

Hu Zhongzhong took two steps back, bared his teeth and stared fiercely at Xie Qinghe: "Bad guy!"

"Your fox is over [-] years old, why insist on playing the tricks of a five-year-old little fox? You are the first monster in Xingcheng who lured scholars into the mountains and forests to mate with you and give birth? You have hidden for more than ten years and sent six The disciple Bowo sent to investigate this matter is a good method." Xie Qinghe pulled Fu Chuan while speaking, preventing Fu Chuan from approaching Hu Zhongzhong again.

Hu Zhongzhong saw that he couldn't deny it, so he stopped holding his throat and pretending to be tender, and said with a smile: "I knew that you were with them. However, you are more capable than them. Not only have you found my Happy Heavenly Palace, but you also know that I am not a real person." ...I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with."
