Chapter 101 save two lives
The master mentioned by Ma Tong is Taoist Liu. Because of Taoist Liu's special identity, in order not to attract attention, Ma Tong always calls him a master. But he didn't know that this person had already lost his soul.
The servant went there soon and returned, kneeling in the hall to report: "Master, Master Liu Daoren is not in the mansion. According to the people who served Liu Daoren, Daoren Liu has also stayed in the villa these days, and he usually delivers food."
"Master is with Jin'er these days?" Hearing this, Ma Tong's face turned pale. He had a glimmer of hope before, but now he heard that Master and disciple Liu had no traces. He already knew in his heart that his son was afraid that he would be in danger.
Outsiders don’t know about the Taoist practitioners, but Ma Tongzong knew very well. He had heard from his son that his methods were very good. He had a corpse beside him, so he could go to the head of the general in the army of ten thousand people.
Ma Tong wanted to recommend it to Mr. Liang a few days ago, but what happened was that something happened in the future.
But as long as you don’t see the body, you must not give up: “You are following you, what’s wrong with him these days?”
"The young master is the same as usual, but a few days ago, he had a small life to find the whereabouts of two scholars from the thoroughfare..."
"Scholar... from Tongqu County. What was found?" Ma Tong asked urgently.
"They are scholars who came to Wanshan Prefecture to participate in the examination. One of them is the head of the case in Tongqu County. A few days ago, they had a conflict with the young master at Yuxianlou.
"Oh" Ma Tong had lost interest when he heard this.
They were just two scholars. In his impression, scholars were all without any hand. Although they were a bit literary, they were all that. The accidents that occurred in the courtyard must have been done by the practitioners.
Could it be Wushan Temple? Thinking of the monk, a name immediately popped up in Ma Tong's mind.
Wanshan Mansion is the territory of Yuqing Dao. If he secretly recruits other cultivators for Liang Hou, he may annoy Wushan Temple. If they secretly send Taoists to kill him... That's right, it must be. It must be that they were killing Jin'er and Fan Yu when they were siegeing and killing Taoist Liu.
Thinking of this, Ma Tongzhe realized that he had guessed the "truth", his face was furious, and finally he almost twisted. Don't they know that Jin'er is my son? He deserves to die
The servant knelt on the ground for a long time, and at this moment, he felt his knees sore. He wanted to get up but didn't dare to. He had to secretly look up at his master, but found that Ma Tong's eyes seemed to be eating people. He was so scared that he shivered and quickly lowered his head.
"You go down and close the door..." After a long time, Ma Tong said breathing.
"Yes, Master" the servant closed the door and left tremblingly.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard a crisp sound inside, and then a suppressed roar came: "Wushanguan, I have never finished it with you, I will repay you for your grudge."
After throwing all the porcelain in the room, Ma Tongshou sat down with a gloomy face.
He was extremely angry, but he did not lose his mind. He was in the position of a general magistrate and had a deep trust from the Marquis of Liang, but after all, he was still a mortal, and he was incomparable to those noble practitioners.
This hatred can only be temporarily suppressed in my heart and will be repaid when I have the chance.
Several Taoists in Wushanguan didn't know that they had been at a loss for a moment and caused a disaster to the Taoist sect. However, even if they knew, they would not take it seriously. Taoist sect always acted like this, and when would they need to report everything to the government?
The young master of the Tongzong family died. Chang Jin originally thought that Wanshan Mansion would make a fuss, so he was even ready to be questioned by the official. As a result, unexpectedly, everything was quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that nothing happened, Chang Jin felt relieved, and then said hello to Wang Qinian and ran to Lang Yuzhu's house. The last time he went to this house, although he just took a quick glance, Chang Jin found that the Lang family had a large collection of books. Not only were there any Confucian orthodox books, but he could also see many Taoist scriptures. What's more, he also found several volumes of the Buddhist scriptures.
Today, when he came to the door, Chang Jin wanted to borrow a few books to read with shame, hoping to inspire the path he would take in the future. He had no plans to be a pure Confucian scholar, so he read a lot.
As for the upcoming prefecture examination, Chang Jin was not worried. He was the head of the case in Tongqu County, and at the least he had a scholar's fame, not to mention that he was quite confident in his own level.
When he arrived at Lang Yuzhu's house, he was walking around the yard by his sister Lang Xiaoyu, and his complexion was three points better than before. Unlike Wang Qinian, this person was invaded by the body of Yin Qi and lost his yang Qi, so his recovery speed was very slow. Judging from this situation, it would be possible to recover as usual if he had more than a month.
Lang Yuzhu still remembers Chang Jin's name, but was a little surprised that he came to the door for no reason.
"Brother Debing has been having a good time recently? I haven't seen each other for many days. Brother Debing still remembers me." Chang Jin asked with a few boxes of pastries.
Lang Yuzhu was puzzled, but he did not stop the door from letting Chang Jin enter. He just bowed awkwardly, "Yunsheng was joking"
"Young Master Chang is here, brother, this is the benefactor I told you. I had no money to get medicine for my brother that day. It was Mr. Chang who paid for me. It was because of that medicine that my brother was healthy now." Lang Xiaoyu next to me also smiled and greeted her.
Hearing this, Lang Yuzhu sincerely thanked him: "Thank you Yunsheng"
"Brother Debing, you're welcome. I'm here to ask for something." Chang Jin didn't go around and said that his purpose of visiting the door and asking for books was not taken.
"This..." If it were before, Lang Yuzhu naturally refused. However, when he thought of Li Niang's advice, he hesitated.
Lang Xiaoyu next to "Brother" was angry when she saw that her brother was nerdy and wanted to be angry again.
"Forget it, Yunsheng followed me to the study to read. You can take any books you like to study, but don't forget to return them at that time." Lang Yuzhu agreed with some pain.
The last sentence made Chang Jin laugh and cry, as if he didn't return the book by himself.
Seeing him picking out two Taoist scriptures and a Buddhist scripture, Lang Yuzhu asked curiously: "Are Yunsheng interested in practicing Taoism?"
"Sometimes flip" knows that most Confucian scholars have no good impression of Taoist priests, so Chang Jin naturally would not tell the truth.
"Oh" Lang Yuzhu nodded and stopped saying a word.
Then Chang Jin refused the request of the brother and sister to keep the meal, and bought some pastries at the entrance of the alley to sit at Zhu Yuanhao's house for a while. He originally planned to return. However, Zhu's mother said she would not allow her to let her go to the dock to call her son back.
After breakfast at Zhu Yuanhao's house, Chang Jin did not return to the inn, but wandered around the market.
Before he could walk far, he saw several hunters selling some herbs and animal skins on the roadside. Chang Jin was not interested in these things. He was about to pass by them, but suddenly stopped again and stared at a little fox tied to the top of the steel fork.
The fox's fur is red, shiny and has a bloody hole on its abdomen. It seems that it is an arrow wound. In addition, it is the legs and two scars that have not yet grown fur.
Isn't this little guy who just rescued from the trap a few days ago? Why was he caught again? It's so lucky.
After checking the weak demonic aura on the other party's head, Chang Jin had already recognized the little fox and shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing a scholar standing in front of his stall, the short-sized hunter immediately understood that the business was coming and shouted loudly, "Young Master, you have such a good eye. This is the fire fox I just hunted from the mountains in the morning. It is extremely precious. Last time..."
"How much?" Chang Jin stopped the other party from boasting.
"The fur of this fire fox is not damaged much. If it is in winter, it can be sold at least seven taels of silver. If the young master wants it, give me six taels." The hunter's eyes showed a little cunning.
"Zhao Laoba, you're crazy about money. You dare to ask for seven taels of silver for a fox skin. This young master, come to my place to see. There is still a good wolf skin and a leather jacket. It's only five taels of silver."
"The fourth brother, you are so impatient to live." The short and thin hunter said angrily.
"Four taels of silver" Chang Jin spoke.
"Young Master, why don't you give me five taels of silver? I'll have to worry about catching this fire fox."
"Okay," Chang Jin agreed immediately.
He usually carries some broken silver on his body when he goes out. He has already sensed it with his spiritual sense just now. The vitality in the little fox is very weak, and Chang Jin dares not delay it anymore. He pays the bill directly and picks up the little fox and leaves.
When he walked away, the hunter who called Lao Si said enviously: "Zhao Lao Ba, you are really lucky. You can hunt foxes and fire foxes when you go out to visit a grave, and you can sell them for a large price."
"Haha, I'm lucky." The short and thin hunter also burst into laughter.
In the morning, he went to the tombs at the foot of the mountain to visit. Not far away, he saw a fire fox being chased by two evil dogs and limping on the mountain road. Zhao Laoba didn't say anything, and took the little fox to the ground, and then took it to the city for sale. He originally thought that the fur was damaged and it was difficult to sell, but he didn't expect to meet a fool scholar, but he actually bought it.
Leaving the two of them, Chang Jin immediately found a corner where no one was around and carefully checked the trauma on the little fox. Although the abdominal wound was pierced, it did not hurt the vital points. Instead, the evil spirit inside his body was messy and obviously suffered other internal injuries.
Chang Jin didn't know how to bandage, but after having the previous experience of rescuing Bai Susu, he didn't feel panic. He stretched out his finger to input a trace of spiritual energy into the little fox's body to repair the damaged meridians.
After a while, the little guy broke away his bright eyes and let out a mournful cry, as if begging for help.
When he saw that it was the human in front of him, his eyes showed a little joy, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a drowsy way.
This little thing is probably a bit lucky. He was caught by himself in both times in danger. Since he met, he naturally had to take care of it. Chang Jin brought the little fox back to the inn, which really caused Wang Qinian to be amazed.
"Yunsheng, I really admire you. You still have the time to raise a fox to play with." Wang Qinian said as he reached out to touch him.
"Woo..." The little fox just happened to wake up. When he saw that it was a stranger, his fur immediately stood up, and his teeth grinned and let out a low roar, and his teeth almost bit his arm.
Wang Qinian was startled and hurriedly retreated to the distance.
