The Heartless Mage Chapter 28: Night detective


After dawn, I had no intention of paying the rent, and calmly left the hotel with Crescent Moon and Master Gu. The crescent moon was nothing, but Master Gu turned his head three times a step, and kept looking at Xiaochunzi's door. The corpse stench was faintly diffused in the backyard, but a big dung truck was passing by in the front yard.

Inadvertently, he tugged at Lord Gu's sleeve, preventing him from looking around, so as not to attract attention. After leaving the hotel and counting the money, Crescent Moon went to buy ten vegetable buns, all of which were as big as fists. Master Gu ate five, Crescent Moon ate three, and Wuxin ate one and a half—he saw Crescent Moon licking it. She smacked her tongue, as if she didn't know what to do, and gave her the remaining half.

"I'm not afraid of being hungry." He told Crescent Moon: "It's the same strength if you don't eat."

Crescent Moon does not believe it, nor do it. The two pushed and gave way, but one of them missed, and half of the bun fell to the ground. Master Gu watched this, and sighed: "You're an egg, why don't you give it to me!"

Crescent Moon and Master Gu want to know where Wuxin is going, but Wuxin doesn't say anything. The three went out of the city and went up the mountain road, and after a long time, they arrived at Qingyun Temple on Qingyun Mountain. Although Crescent Moon moved to Zhili and lived there for a long time, the farthest he had ever visited was the large temple on the mountain near Wenxian County. The big temple is already splendid, and the monks in the temple are also very fat and very rich; unexpectedly, compared with Qingyunguan, although she has no knowledge, she also feels the custom of the big temple. As soon as she passed the archway, she involuntarily tugged at her sleeves, touched her hair, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, trying to make a solemn appearance; Master Gu also turned his head in all directions: "Oh, heaven and earth! Why haven't I been here before?"

Wuxin walked up the stairs on the bluestone road, and held Crescent Moon's hand slightly sideways. It was late autumn, and there was a bleak scenery in the mountains on both sides, and the dry cold wind passed through the forest, blowing the dead leaves rustling. A small hill streamed down the mountain, and there was a sound of water that seemed to be absent. Wuxin looked up and saw that carved beams and painted buildings faintly appeared in the forest, which was the Jade Emperor Hall behind the mountain gate.

Daoist Master Chu Chenzi seems to have never expected Wuxin to come again. Wearing a black cloak with a mink fur collar, he stretched out his legs and got off his mahogany Arhat bed, and the cloak opened, revealing the spotless snow-white trousers inside.

Wuxin is quite respectful to him, cupping his fists and bowing: "Master, I'm here again."

Chu Chenzi has long hair that is parted in the middle, black and shiny like a fine satin. Squinting his eyes and looking up and down Wuxin, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are all hidden under his long hair, and the face exposed in the middle looks unusually white and young: "Why are you here again?"

Wuxin straightened her waist, as if she was ashamed and ashamed, and bowed her head to Chu Chenzi and smiled: "It's not because of your great uncle—"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chenzi shook his head with anger, and the corners of his eyes and brows were all exposed: "Damn! How can I have a great great uncle? My great great uncle died more than a hundred years ago. Several times!"

Wuxin smiled slightly calmly: "Daoist, don't worry, just listen to me and finish my words. Your great uncle, you are too great to be married and be Jiuyi in Wenxian County."

Chenzi took a step back, raised his hand and patted the small kang table on Luohan's bed, and shouted angrily, "If you talk about it, get out of here!"

Wuxin nodded: "Okay, I'll go outside and talk."

Chu Chen Zi rushed forward and grabbed Wuxin's collar: "Dare?!"

Wuxin raised his hands in a slow manner, patted Chen Zi's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Master Daoist, your great-grandfather-uncle plays with the dead. It's very beautiful."

Chu Chenzi glared at him without speaking.

Wuxin continued: "Let her play, there will be chaos in the future, so I'm going to Wenxian to see the formation of your great master. I saw a man and a woman standing outside the window. Is it? The woman is my wife and the man is my brother. I can't take them to Wenxian for an adventure, so I want to ask you to take them in for a few days. I think with your morals, there will be no ghosts in Qingyun Temple."

Chu Chenzi let go of his hand and turned his back to him with a flick of his sleeve: "What if it's haunted?"

Wuxin walked around to him: "Those who practice Taoism are always compassionate. I think you can protect two lives."

Chu Chenzi looked up at him: "Who the **** are you?"

Wuxin put both hands together: "Master, please, just give them three meals a day."

When Chuchenzi saw Wuxin, it was like falling into the clouds and fog, and his heart was suspended because he could not reach the sky or the ground. Uncle Taishi is a secret in Qingyun Temple, and he only passed the secret to his eldest disciple, because after he emerges in the future, the eldest disciple will be a new generation of Taoist abbots. The secret was originally similar to a mysterious and mysterious story. It was interesting and worthless. However, when Wuxin brought the news of Taishi's uncle, the story and reality were connected, which caused Chuchenzi to have nightmares every now and then.

Chenzi found two small rooms behind Qingyun Temple, and let Crescent Moon and Master Gu live there. Crescent Moon and Master Gu have seen the fluttering style of the Taoist priest, and they admire them very much, and they honestly dare not speak rashly. In the evening, Wuxin sat on the bed of the Luohan who was born in the dust, and told about Yue Qiluo's evil deeds in detail. Chu Chenzi was holding an antique small stove, and his face was uncertain. And Wuxin said at the end, and looked at him across the kang table: "How much worse is your ability compared to Yue Qiluo?"

Chen Zi heard that he finally accepted the words "Great Master Uncle" and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "My Great Master and her are not the same, we can't compare."

Wuxin asked again: "Yue Qiluo can summon the soul of the underground, can you?"

Chu Chenzi shook his head: "I can only suppress the souls on the ground."

Wuxin nodded suddenly: "Oh... not bad, better than me."

Wuxin didn't sleep all night, because after returning to the room, she told Crescent Moon the truth and admitted that she was going to Wenxian County.

Crescent Moon immediately disagreed and persuaded him, so she was eager to try it. Sitting on the bed and pulling her bun, she wanted to cry, but she didn't cry, so she got out of bed and went to look for Master Gu. Master Gu put on a cotton jacket and entered the door, and eagerly let out a rhetoric, saying that he would break Wuxin's leg. Unintentionally raised his foot and stepped on the edge of the bed, he slapped his thigh: "Come on, fight!"

Crescent Moon and Master Gu worked together with both hardness and softness, but they just couldn't cure a careless one. At midnight, I had no intention to set off down the mountain, and Crescent Moon and Master Gu followed behind to send them all the way. Crescent Moon was so angry that she cried and chirped: "What are you doing, you can't get in oil and salt, donkey temper!"

Master Gu followed and said, "It's a donkey!"

Crescent Moon said again: "Let's go with you, more people are better than less people!"

Master Gu licked his lips, but didn't say anything, because he really didn't dare to go to Wenxian, because he was afraid of Yue Qiluo and Ding Datou.

Wuxin stopped, turned around and smiled at the crescent moon, raised his right hand and waved it slightly, making a goodbye gesture. Without waiting for Crescent Moon to speak again, he turned forward to speed up his steps, and disappeared into the night with running and jumping.

Wuxin has become a carefree person, and he acts more neatly. Walking non-stop until dawn, he went into a small restaurant outside Chang'an County for breakfast, and listened to the diners at the next table talking about important events in the county-a female guest came to a hotel at night. , As a result, two days later, the guy couldn't help knocking on the door, but no one answered; kicking the door, the female guest was already rotten on the bed!

"It's not too uncommon for a woman to die." The diners told vividly: "What's strange is that after the autopsy, it was found that the woman had been dead for at least ten days and a half months -- is it strange? The woman was only two days away. I came here by myself."

There was a loud noise in the restaurant. Wuxin understood the account, got up and walked away quietly.

After walking for a long time, I passed Zhuzui Town unintentionally and went straight to the gate of Wenxian County. In Wenxian Taiping recently, the city gates were wide open from morning to night. Inadvertently entered the county town easily, mixed with the crowd and walked towards Gu's house.

In the twilight, the alley where Gu's house was located was silent, with dead vines and old trees. Wuxin slowly entered the alley, and felt that the houses on both sides were not popular. The ghost that had been haunting the Gu house for a few months only scared the neighbors to move away; now that the Gu house is no longer haunted or haunted, why has it become more and more desolate?

Wuxin stopped in front of the two closed black doors. A large brass lock hangs outside the gate, and the lock is dotted with muddy water marks, which seems to have gone through a lot of wind and rain. It is normal to lock the door, Wuxin never thought of going through the door. Out of the alley and around to the back, Wuxin decided to climb the wall and go in. I remember that Master Gu once said that there is a garden at the back of the house, and Wuxin is now very interested in everything about Gu's house.

The wall of the garden is not too high, and I accidentally turned it over when the sun went down. The place where I settled was soft, and it was a thick layer of grass and fallen leaves. The flowers and trees have not been pruned for a long time, and they all grow with claws and claws. From time to time, there is a rustling sound in the dark, and it is the small living creatures who are disturbed. A gust of night wind blew past, rolling up the fallen leaves.

Inadvertently passed a few bushes of thorn roses and found that the garden was not very clean. If people don't come, ghosts will come.

The stone path was covered with fallen leaves, and I walked forward without any intention of identifying it. Arriving at the gate of the garden smoothly, he looked up, but stopped.

There is a small coffin at the entrance of the yard. The wood is dark, and it seems that it can only accommodate young children.
