Three Stories of Fox One

The moonlight painted the simple hut with a layer of silver, and the aroma of honeysuckle floated in the courtyard, making the air smell sweet. In the small yard, there is a vegetable garden on one side and a grape rack on the other. The hut flashed with a little light through the dense leaves of the climbing tiger. The mountain tiger has already captured all the walls of the hut and is recently trying to extend its green wrists to the window. Heavy shadows were cast on the desk in front of the window in the moonlight, shaking on the scholar's face and the books in his hand.

On a hot summer night, a trace of breeze made people feel twice as happy. At this time, the wind sent a soft voice from the bamboo fence full of melons and trumpet flowers: "Mei girl, are you going to provoke that nerd again?" The other one lowered his voice with a smile. The scholar pressed his hand on the window sill and looked at it, but only the shadows on the ground flashed into his eyes.

The scholar picked up the book again, but there was no way to concentrate on those words again, because there would always be some strange things that would happen when he held the book, disturbing his mind.

Liu Mei lay on the window sill and looked at the scholar face to face for a long time. Seeing his seriousness in reading, she couldn't help thinking of making trouble. She jumped on the grape rack, folded a bunch of green grapes and threw them at the man under the window. When the scholar pinched it between his fingers, it had turned into a bunch of purple ripe grapes. Liu Mei smiled as she looked at the scholar holding grapes in her hand.

A few minutes later, the scholar who ate the grapes that disturbed his reading picked up the book again. Liu Mei picked up a leaf in the palm of her white hand and gently blew it into the small firelight under the oil lamp. Finally, with a "wave", the light was extinguished by the desperate worm. The scholar lit the light, and after the light turned on again, Liu Mei again concocted it in accordance with the law. After the lights went out several times, the people in the window seemed to be tired of it. The room had been sinking in the dark and there was no movement. Liu Mei stuck out her tongue: "This makes me angry." She smiled and lifted her skirt to hide it at the door, trying to see what the scholar was doing in the dark room. As soon as she arrived at the door, she had to open it. The scholar stood in front of the door and opened the scroll in his hand for her to appreciate.

The woman painted on the scroll is beautiful and charming, with two deep dimples on her face with endless smiles, and standing in the courtyard with flower branches in her hand, which is exactly the portrait of Liu Mei. Liu Mei stared at the scholar with a delicate smile. No matter how good painting skills are, how can she record all her beauty on paper?

The scholar stretched out his hand to Liu Mei, and the two gently walked into the hut together.

Unconsciously, summer goes to autumn. After autumn and winter, Liu Mei has been reading with scholar Xu Yuye for more than half a year. Since the birth of this girl, the originally lonely hut has always been full of warmth and laughter.

At the beginning of this night, the moonlight was bright, and the moonlight reflected the moonlight, shining brightly in the world, and the world was like a large piece of crystal. Liu Mei lit a pot of charcoal fire and put it in the room. I don't know what she used, but the room was warm and sweaty. Xu Yu then opened the window and read the snow and moonlight. It was so interesting that he wanted to leave the book and recite a few poems to the moon and make a picture.

"Tea." Liu Mei brought the tea set and put it in his hand.

"It's still Meier who knows my heart best." The scholar threw the book and laughed with tea. Liu Mei polished the ink on the table and looked at him with a smile. The scholar took a few sips of tea and began to paint the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Are you going to get married?" Liu Mei sat next to him and suddenly asked with a red paper in her hand.

The scholar's hand shook, and a drop of ink fainted in the bright moon on the paper: "You know."

"Don't you want me to know?" Liu Mei put the paper with the woman's birthday back on the table.

"Isn't that right?" The scholar smiled and said, "It's natural for a man to marry a woman. Sooner or later."

Liu Mei sighed softly: "Yes...sooner or later..."

The two were silent for a while, and Liu Mei said again, "My sister had already asked me to go back to Kunlun Mountain to practice. I didn't know when to say goodbye to you. Now it seems that I should also go."

"What, you're leaving!" The scholar suddenly stood up and looked panicked, "Why are you, why..."

"There's no reason, I just think it's time to go." Liu Mei still said with a smile.

The scholar grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "I thought you wouldn't care."

Liu Mei frowned, tilted her head and asked, "What about her? Doesn't she care?"

"She's just... Meier, only you are my confidant." The scholar hugged her firmly for fear that she would disappear, "Mei'er, I only have you in my heart, only you! Do you want me to peel my heart out and show it to you? She, she is just..."

"She is your wife, your lifelong couple, and the mother of your future children." Liu Mei put away her smile for the first time and said to him, "If you marry her, you should treat her well. How can you have the heart to let her husband be shared!"

"But, you, you are not a human!" The scholar blurted out in a hurry.

Liu Mei stared at him. After a moment, Liu Mei smiled and said, "It's good that you know what my alien is. Stop, Xu Lang, stop..." She kissed the scholar's forehead gently. Before he said anything more, her figure had dissipated like a fog. The scholar shouted, and her shadow rushed away, but only held it empty. Meier, don't go when you come back... Do you really don't understand my heart..." The scholar ran to the courtyard and shouted sadly, leaving a series of footprints on the flawless snow.

Liu Mei stood on the virgin in the courtyard and looked at him, and muttered for a long time, "You don't understand... You don't understand..." This time she flew into the air and didn't look back.

The woman threw the clothes in her arms into ** and said angrily to the lying man, "That little devil howled again. Go and have a look!"

The man listened, and there was a faint cry of the baby. He said lazily, "He is probably hungry. If you feed him, he won't cry."

"Hey, I've fed it several times a day! I have to change his diapers and wash clothes... endless! Why did you come home with such a disaster if you had nothing to do?" The woman was furious and sat on the edge of the bed.

The man sighed and said, "At least it's also my cousin's child. After their couple died, didn't you allow his uncle to take them away and have to stay?"

"Let them take it away. Do they really want children? Why did they cheap them for that little property?

"If you take it back, you have to raise him well. In case something happens, it will be gossiped by the neighbors.

What are you talking about? What's the gossip? Are those three dilapidated houses and two acres of wasteland enough to raise children? How much do we have to pay? There are so many children who have died. Why should we talk to me?" The woman lost her temper and finally walked out of the door angrily.

A small baby was tightly placed in ** wrapped in a quilt, crying vibly, and his little face turned red. In late autumn, although the child was wrapped like this to avoid getting cold, it was more convenient for mosquito bites. The smell of diapers that had not been changed for many times attracted flies to buzz around. In addition, the water and rice had not been stained with teeth for most of the day. No wonder he cried so much. The woman was annoyed by his crying and went over and slapped him hard. The child choped with pain and then cried harder. The woman cursed loudly, but had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get some food for him.

The woman stepped into the door with half a bowl of cold rice. Fortunately, the child finally stopped, but she was surprised to find a gorgeous woman sitting by the bed holding the child in her arms, holding a strange bead in her hand and putting it in the child's mouth for him to suck. Seeing the woman come in, he looked up and smiled at her. The woman's beautiful smiling face made the woman lose her mind for a moment, but she immediately pulled down her face and pointed to her and shouted, "Who are you?" What are you doing at my house?

The woman shook her head at the baby with a smile: "All right, little guy, don't be so greedy. Just don't be hungry. You can't eat too much." She took back the bead and put it into her mouth, and the baby immediately cried in protest. All right, little guy, all right, no, no, no crying, full, sleep..." She stood up and patted as she walked, patiently coaxed. The woman was furious when she saw that she ignored herself, but looking at her gorgeous clothes and delicate figure, she suddenly thought of something, threw down the bowl and ran out. After a while, the woman pulled the man and rushed in again. The man was still holding a big wolf dog in his hand. When the wolf dog saw the woman, it screamed fiercely.

The woman just put the baby to sleep and was woken up by the barking of the dog and cried again.

The woman was a little unhappy on the road. She squeezed her mouth and stared at the wolf dog. The calf-like dog's barking suddenly stopped, sobbing a few times, and went out from the man** with her tail between her. The man couldn't pull it. The woman coaxed the baby a few more words before asking in a coquettish voice, "What's the matter?"

"Who are you? What are you doing at our house?" The man stepped on the threshold and summoned up the courage to shout, ready to turn around and escape.

The woman smiled extremely delicately: "My name is Liu Mei, don't you recognize me? I'm just here to see this child. You don't have to pay attention to me. The woman dragged the man and said in a trembling voice, "Just, that's her, the fox spirit who is in good with your cousin, I saw her through the window?"

Liu Mei opened the child's quilt and wanted to change into the small clothes she brought for him, but she saw that the child's face and back were full of rashes from wet clothes, bright red and terrible appearance. Her smile cooled down and her eyes were sad. After a long time, she pointed her finger at the child's skin and sighed, "Do you want this child to die? He lost his parents at a young age. Don't you feel sorry for him at all?

"Isn't it enough for us to control him? You have to make us think of her as our ancestors!" Although the woman was also afraid, she was not weak at all.

Liu Mei gently shook the child in her arms and paced back and forth in the room to meditate. After a long time, she said, "Well, I'm afraid that this child won't live long after staying with you. Why don't you let me take him away?"

"Did you take him away?" Hearing that the burdened man was about to agree happily, the woman shouted first, "A boy is worth ten taels of silver. Take it away if you want to! I want my child to leave money!"

Liu Mei's pretty face sank without a smile and said coldly, "Can you stop me if I want to take him away?" Her smiling appearance originally gave the woman the courage to be greedy, but now her cold face makes the other party shudder and no longer speak. Liu Mei gently took off the child's original clothes, dressed him a new one, and walked out of the door in her arms. Walking outside the threshold, he suddenly turned around and smiled and said, "For the sake of taking care of him for a few days, I will give you some reward."

The woman's eyes had just shot greedy eyes and suddenly let out a miserable cry - she saw a long cow's tail sticking out of her buttocks and swaying livelyly. You fox! No, Fox Fairy... Fox Fairy... You come back... You have a lot..." In the wailing of the couple, Liu Meilian walked lightly and disappeared in the courtyard...

The wind and cold autumn night, Daoquan, lying between the branches, tried to shrink his neck, hoping that the battle could start quickly and end early so that he could leave this place. He peeked at his two brothers: Daozhen stood in the shadow behind the rockery and could not see his expression from this angle, but he could see his body standing straight and motionless in the cold wind; Taoist was pasted in the middle of the back wall of the house, looking around, and did not seem to pay attention to the cold. They chose a good position, but put me in this ghost place that is not against the wind. Daozhen muttered in his heart and complained to the two brothers.

The courtyard is very quiet. In the starless night, the mountains, ponds, pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard are as unreal as silhouettes. Only the color of the lighted window can bring a warm warmth. There were two figures on the window paper. The man was making gestures and saying something. The woman laughed and tried to hit him with the handkerchief in her hand. Soon the light was extinguished, and the whole courtyard fell into darkness.

Daoquan was thinking nonsense. He didn't know what good things this demon was doing in there, but he saw Daozhen come out from behind the rockery and walked towards the house. Daozhi also pulled out the mahogany sword on his back and walked forward. After seeing himself fall, Daoquan hurriedly jumped from the tree to the yard. In a hurry, his clothes were hooked by branches. Unexpectedly, he fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, making a loud sound and a painful cry. In the originally quiet night, such a sound could be heard a few miles away.

Daozhen and Daozhi looked at each other and immediately changed their original careful movements. They jumped to the front door and stared at the door with their swords. When Daoquan slapped the dust on his body and got up from the ground, he saw a dark shadow breaking out of the door and fighting with his two brothers. Daoquan also pulled out his sword and opened his hands around the two demons, but he couldn't find any room to start, so he couldn't help reminding: "Big brother, be careful!" The second brother is behind you." Fight, fight, and work harder." Come on, come on, he's dying."

In Dao Quan's loud shouts, the fight has slowly come to an end. Although Dao Zhen and Dao Zhi are full of wounds, they still subdue each other to the ground with their full strength. The man covered with spells rolled on the ground and finally howled to show his original shape - a hedgehog the size of a rabbit.

Daozhi came forward and gave it a fierce kick: "Beast, only a few years have dared to come out to harm people, and now I see where to escape." But he was pierced by the soles of the thorns and had to take off his shoes and fall on the ground.

At this time, the courtyard was already brightly lit. The family members who came to check after hearing the sound surrounded the small yard. Seeing the end of the struggle, someone had already run to call out the staff. Even the young lady, who had just been lingering with the monster, stood untily at the door of the house, as if she had not figured out what had happened, and looked blankly at the yard until two bold girls helped her in the room.

Dao Zhi kicked the hedgehog on the ground in front of the outsider and said with a smile, "It's a good dream that disturbs the outsider in the middle of the night. Look, this is the thing that fascinates your daughter."

Seeing the monster roll over, the staff and the family around him dispersed and fled far away to the other side before standing. The clerk wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Three Taoist priest, why are you back? This monster... What did you come to my house for? Who told you to come! Isn't there a royal law?" The outsider not only didn't care much about the monster being caught, but shouted at the three Taoist priests.

Tao Zhi sneered and said, "Why do you think that driving us away during the day can dispel our determination to eliminate demons? But it's strange that your daughter has been fascinated by monsters for a day and a half. It's not that you don't know, why don't you treat her, but instead drive us away the Taoist priest who came to eliminate demons? Are you single-minded to recruit this monster to be the son-in-law?

Daoquan pulled out the monster with his sword and said casually, "Well, then the outsider is really discerning. Look, this son-in-law... But how did I hear that your young lady is going to get married next month and marry to the field member's house in Lin County? How many son-in-law did you choose?"

The face outside the member became ugly, and the family members around him also stared at the three Taoist priests with weapons, and their eyes were full of excitement.

"Hahaha, you know that you are afraid of monsters, but we Taoist priests who can eliminate demons are not afraid!" Daozhen laughed loudly and suddenly waved his sword to cut the small tree beside him. The small tree with the thickness of eggs broke in response, and the mahogany sword in his hand was actually sound. He looked at the crowd coldly and kept playing with the sword in his hand, as if to ask, "Who dares to come forward?" The family members were all scared by him and looked away hesitantly.

"Thank you, many Taoist leaders for saving the little girl. Come on, please have a meal in the hall. In addition, there is a thank-you gift, please." The clerk thought for a moment and changed his mind. His face was full of smiles and he actually invited them.

Dao Zhi waved his hand: "I don't need wine and dishes. If you have any gifts, just bring them. We won't refuse."

"Come on, go to the account room and get 100 taels of silver for the three Taoist leaders."

"slow!" Dao Zhi interrupted the outsider's words and asked with a smile, "One hundred taels of silver, did I hear you correctly? As far as I know, the only bride price given by the Tian family to Lingyuan is a village, two shops plus 2,000 taels of silver, not to mention how much business you get from them every year after the marriage of the two families? Is such an important marriage worth a hundred taels of silver in your eyes? If any of our three brothers accidentally said it and let the Tian Yuan's family hear it, how cold it would be to know that you don't pay so much attention to this marriage, don't you think so?

The outside face sank, and the Taoist priest's implication is obvious. If they don't give them a satisfactory price, the fact that their daughter is confused by the monster will reach the ears of outsiders. The most serious consequence is that the matter will reach the ears of their relatives in the future.

It is when our business needs the strong support of the Tian family, so we have this marriage with a family age difference of more than 20. If the other party knows that their daughter has had such an ugly thing, and the marriage is still in the second place, isn't it going to make a big mess? Originally, when his daughter was just beginning to be entangled by monsters, he thought that it was his daughter who did not want to marry Tian Yuan, who was 20 years older than her, in order to resist this reluctant marriage. He didn't pay attention to it at all except for strictly restraining his family from talking to others. Who knows that as the days passed, her daughter's confusion gradually became crazy. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like she was acting herself, and at night, she closed the door early and stayed alone in the bedroom. People outside heard the sound of men and women laughing and playing. Originally, those charming things of monsters were talked about as villagers, but who knew that they would talk about themselves when their daughter was about to get married.

The staff sent the girl to accompany their daughter at night, but at night, these people fell asleep. When they woke up the next morning, they would find that each other's hair was tied together and thrown into the flowers in the courtyard. After several such shocks and the wind, frost and dew in the cold night, most of the girls fell ill, and a few strong men had been knocked down by their will and refused to step into the lady's room at night.

It was only then that the staff really became anxious about his daughter's affairs.

It's just that his daughter was deeply confused at this time, and the monster was also familiar with the way and could not be driven away. The anxious member secretly invited monks and Taoists to come to catch up several times. I don't know whether it was the monk's profound Taoism or the high-ranking people who were invited. Anyway, the three times of the practice not only did not work, but the monster became more and more arrogant, and it also went in and out of the boudoir in broad daylight. And after such a lot of toss, there were gradually rumors outside that the young lady was haunted by monsters. In order to keep the marriage, the staff hurriedly restarted to block the news, regardless of whether his daughter was fascinated by the monster or not, and prepared to marry her first.

A few days ago, three Taoist priests suddenly came to the door and threatened to hear that there were monsters in the house, and they specially came to eliminate demons. At this time, the most unpleasant thing to hear was that he not only accused several Taoist priests of not following the rules and talking nonsense to ruin his daughter's reputation, but also instructed the family to show weapons, release the vicious dogs, and drive them all out. Originally, I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that they would touch the door by themselves, and they really had the ability to catch the monster.

"What on earth do you want?" The clerk asked with a gloomy face.

Daozhi smiled and said, "The Taoist temple of the poor Tao has been in disrepair for a long time. I heard that you have always been kind to do things. Why don't you give a thousand taels of silver to the poor Tao and let us go back to build the Sanqing Hall?"

"One thousand taels!" Hearing his lion open mouth, the officer rushed up like a needle.

"Other than 2,000 taels?" Dao Zhi " bargained" with him with a smile.

Seeing that they were unwilling to give up, the staff roared viciously: "You are blackmailing! I, I'm going to take you to see the officials and say that there are monsters here. Who has seen them! If you get a hedgehog, you will say it's a monster. I think you are crazy about money! I'd like to see if you dare to cheat so openly in the lobby of the government!"

"Haha..." Dao Zhen looked up to the sky and smiled, and suddenly stretched out his mahog's sword and pointed to the hedgehog. The hedgehog immediately turned into a man and lay on the ground dying. Many families were so scared that they screamed.

"Extra, since we can subdue him, we can naturally let him leave freely. It's not good for you to cross the river like this." Dao Zhi once again smiled and went forward to negotiate. Do you think we should leave him and just leave? Maybe this hedgehog monster will not be angry with your family after this disaster tonight. Instead, it will realize that it is wrong with the young lady and may go there in a few days. However, even if he goes, the monsters in the world know that you are kind and don't allow Taoists to come to you one after another. It's not necessarily come to you. Today, a tiger, a carp tomorrow, and later a sparrow... Hahahaha, I just don't know if you have so many daughters, otherwise it's better to recruit a son-in-law. ."

The face outside the member changed from red to black, from black to white, from white to green, from green to yellow. For a while, it was extremely colorful. Listening to the Taoist priest's words, if they are not threatened by them today, they will let this monster go at this time. They have Taoist protection. Of course, they are not afraid of this subordinates to revenge. , as a family, they are bound to become the object of this monster's anger. It can be imagined that the monster's revenge method is bound to be hundreds of times more powerful than that of confusing his daughter, and the last few words of the Taoist priest seem to vaguely explain that his family will be demonic in the next days. It is not known whether there are monsters from the reporter Xiaomen, but these powerful Taoist masters will definitely "invite" some monsters to come to their homes from time to time, but when will these monsters leave? It's hard to say what you will do before you leave.

He was stunned for a long time and finally said, "I really can't take out a thousand taels of silver. How about 500 taels?"

"The staff is really a master in the business field. This ability to stop the waist and bargain is really smart, but it cuts 2,000 taels to 500 taels at once, isn't it too stingy?"

"It's obviously one thousand taels. When did it become two thousand taels?"

"Well, when we first deal with each other, one thousand taels is one thousand taels. Let's take out silver taels and send some of our annoying Taoist priests on the road." Taoist raised his hand and said.

The member looked at him like a fire in his eyes for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Bry silver to the Taoist masters."

A thousand taels of silver is not light and small in size. When the clerk endured the pain and lifted out the small box, he was still cursed secretly in his heart: Let's see how you carry this box on the road? It's good to be robbed by robbers on the road. He intended to prepare silver tickets for them, and the Taoists didn't seem to be planning to ask for light and easy-to-take silver tickets. They saw that Daozhi came forward and didn't know what he had done. Seeing that the box full of silver shrank in his hand until it became the size of a nail, he took it and was gently thrown in his sleeve. Bowing goodbye to the staff, several Taoist priests went away with words and laughter.

Walking in the wilderness, the morning light has gradually emerged after the thin fog. The three Taoist priests walked in the field with the morning dew. Although they didn't sleep all night, the three of them were energetic and were holding the silver of the big ingots in their hands to pass each other.

"This is two silver in the past, hahahaha, I have never seen so much silver in my life..." Daoquan smiled fearlessly and held the silver tightly in his arms, with an expression that he wanted to swallow it.

"Look at your promising appearance, as if you have never seen silver in your life!" Daozhi grabbed the silver from his arms and gently kicked Daoquan. "Learn from your second brother and never pay attention to these things outside him."

Daozhen interrupted him coldly and said, "I don't pay attention to silver, just put that kind of thing in my pocket. You'd better not forget the share that should be given to me, or I won't help you lie in front of the master.

"Look at what you said, when did I forget you!" Dao Zhi said, took out about 200 taels of silver and handed it over. Then he took another ingot of silver (just fifty taels) and handed it to Daoquan, "Here you are. Take it."

"Why do I only have this little!" Daoquan protested with dissatisfaction.

"Do you still have the face to ask?" Dao Zhi slapped him on the head and said, "Tell yourself, what did you do today? What did you do for me? Not only did he not do what I said, but also shocked the beast in advance. When you and your second brother were busy fighting monsters, you were still watching the fun! I gave you this because of your kindness for the first time you came out and didn't ask you to go back empty-handed. What? Don't you think it's too little? Just..."

"No, no, no, brother, how can I be too little." Daoquan hurriedly picked up the silver.

"Remember, master, don't leak your mouth to me, or be careful of your tongue!" Dao Zhi added a vicious exhortation, "I can rest assured that you are the one who didn't handle the door." He said that this gave Dao Quan the back of his head again.

"Brother, don't worry, I will never reveal a word, hey hey hey, as long as there is such a good thing in the future, you can think about your little brother."

"You are sensible. Let's go back!"

Dao Quan was quietly looking at the two brothers all the way. He was the latest to get started. This was the first time that he was allowed to follow the two brothers out to do business. The ability of the two brothers to eliminate demons in Jinan Province opened his eyes. The snake spirit harmed countless people and once ate several Taoist monks who went to surrender, but they did not bow down and kill under the hands of the two brothers. Daoquan's admiration for the two brothers increased from the beginning to the end. He had felt that his Taoism was good, but he didn't expect that it was not worth mentioning in front of real monsters. But the two brothers are so powerful.

Usually, in his opinion, the eldest brother Taoist ambition is a little frivolous, and he spends much less time on practice than on vulgar things. His favorite thing is to manage the money in and out of Taoism. He often closes his door in the room to count money until midnight. The second brother usually only practices sword practice, is quiet, and rarely ignores Daoquan, the new little brother. However, when it came to business, the eldest brother was calm and capable, the second brother was decisive and heroic, and the snake spirit did not even survive a hundred rounds in their hands.

The performance of the two brothers when eliminating demons was admirable, but what impressed him more was the random response of the brothers.

After hearing about the monster in the town and being told that there were no monsters, they all thought that the brothers were going back. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother not only did not believe the family's lies, but also subdued the monster in one fell swoop, and got such a large amount of money by grabbing the owner's braids. As for the second brother, who usually doesn't talk much and looks so serious, he didn't expect him to cooperate so well with the eldest brother at the critical moment. If it hadn't been for his several timely threats, it wouldn't have been so easy to get today's silver. It seems that with the two brothers, there is a great future. Daoquan touched the silver in his arms and thought happily.

Daoquan was originally the second son of a poor scholar. His parents did not know how to farm, manage property, do business, but they gave birth to seven or eight children in a row. The income of his father's usual teaching and his mother's weaving day and night was not enough for the family to make a living, so Daoquan had to find a way to fill his stomach at a young age.

Digging some wild vegetables, doing some odd jobs, stealing something, and begging for a few mouthfuls of food. In short, in order to deal with the hunger that followed him since he was a child, he used all the methods he could think of, so that he remembered when and why he left his home. In his memory, he began to wander around when he was eight or nine years old until he was seventeen or eight years old. Naturally, the child who is floating alone has suffered all the hardships and experienced the wind and frost. Who knows that he fainted at the door of a Taoist temple the year before last because of hunger and cold, but was rescued by the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. There are only three Taoist priests, one old and two young, but they look very comfortable to eat and drink spicy food. After seeing it, Daoquan wanted to become Taoist priests in order to make a living.

The old Taoist priest of the Taoist temple was a little old-fashioned and insisted that he had no chance to accept him, but he saw that it was a good profession and refused to leave in the Taoist temple. Fortunately, when he was a child, he learned some words from his father and read several books. In addition, he has been wandering in the world for so many years. He is relatively smart. He has learned a lot of tricks to slap horses, and his hands and feet are also very diligent. He rushes to do some chores every day. He is busy running before and after running. He actually makes his eldest disciple Daozhi happy, from time to time in front of the master. He said good things for him before, and said that he was poor and homeless. If he didn't take him in, it didn't mean that he didn't save him.

The old Taoist priest has a good heart. He was moved by the eldest apprentice for a long time, and actually accepted him as a closed disciple. It's just that he looks down on the qualifications of this little apprentice. He only treats him as a handyman who works in the view and rarely teaches him. On the contrary, the eldest brother is very willing to teach him and urges him to practice from time to time. Therefore, he sneered at himself from time to time and liked to tease himself, but Daoquan was very grateful to him. The second brother is really not easy to get along with. Usually, he looks down on his poor-noted brother and doesn't talk much to him, let alone point him out.

Daoquan saw that Daozhen usually ignored the eldest brother, and automatically regarded this situation as an open and secret struggle between the two brothers. In his mind, for the master's unique learning, for the future throne, for the master's unique magic weapon... All kinds of assumptions were designed in his conception. Since there is a conflict between the two brothers, he, a closed disciple, naturally stands firmly on the side of the eldest brother. Therefore, he was not cold to his second brother and drew a clear line with him. Unexpectedly, I saw a completely different situation from what he thought when I went out this time. The two brothers not only did not fight, but had a good relationship. The second brother almost obeyed the eldest brother's words. The two cooperated seamlessly, but they made the whole Dao confused.

"Lao San," the three Taoist priests rushed on their way for a few days. Seeing their Taoist temple in front of them, Taoist suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Bring that gourd." Daoquan immediately took out the gourd with the hedgehog monster from his waist and handed it over. Dao Zhi took the gourd in his hand and threw it and said, "What should this guy do? If you bring it back to the view, the master will immediately know that the three of us have secretly done good deeds outside.

"It takes effort to kill this kind of harmful animal." Daozhen's cold words made Daoquan next to him shiver.

Tao Zhi seemed to say unbearably, "Although this evil beast is hateful, it is not yet damned. It's a pity that his practice of killing him for many years has been destroyed. Alas, I can't help it. It's better for him to die than our three brothers to be taught a lesson by their masters. With that, he turned his head down and patted the gourd on the bottom, and a huge hedgehog rolled from it to the ground. As soon as he landed, he kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Several immortals, spare the small ones. I will never dare to do it again..." This gourd is not refined to catch monsters, but Taoist picked it from the wall of other people's courtyard. The monsters inside can still hear the movement outside. Just now, he said He heard all the words of the scholars discussing to kill the hedgehog monster, so as soon as he came out, he desperately begged for mercy, hoping that the other party could give himself a way to survive.

Dao Zhi was not moved at all. He thought about it and signaled: "The second brother's hands and feet are sharp, or you can do it."

The hedgehog hugged Daozhi's leg and begged: "Xianchang, you are compassionate. There are still mothers and children in my family that need to be supported. What if you kill me and our whole family... Ohohohoho..."

"My wife and children are in a big family and still go out to seduce good women. Damn it!" Daozhen said and showed the mahogany sword.

"Taoist priest, Taoist priest... Ho ho ho ho... It's not easy for me to practice hard until today... Ho ho ho... Forgive my life... I really don't dare anymore..." The hedgehog cried loudly when he saw death. Daozhen didn't know how many monsters had been killed. How could he be soft for such a plea? His sword was about to stab his heart.

"Wait a minute!" Dao Quan blurted out.

"What are you doing? Do you want to plead for this evil? You have left. In case he is found by the master, the three of us won't be able to eat it. Dao Zhi slapped him fiercely in the back of the head.

Dao Quan smiled and said, "How can I? I don't think such a small thing is not worth the second brother's own hand. I think I'll let it do it for you.

"Ha ha, so that's what you're thinking." Dao Zhi laughed.

"Yes, the two brothers have killed the snake spirit when they went out this time. Poor your little brother hasn't opened yet. Do you think it's me..." He rubbed his hands and looked anxious.

"This kind of thing is also worth grabbing. If you have the ability to practice yourself, you can't kill any monsters in the future. Remember to leave his Neidan and eat it, which is good for you. After saying that, he turned around and left first. He really didn't like this little brother's future.

Tao Zhi patted Daoquan's head with a smile: "Okay, he belongs to you!" After saying that, he also left.

Daoquan stared at the trembling hedgehog on the ground, scratched his head with the sword in his hand, and said coldly, "Now you know you are afraid? There was no need to do bad things at the beginning!"

The hedgehog kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Forgive my life. I was also fascinated for a moment. I heard the girl discuss with his lover. In order not to let her father marry her to the family she didn't want to go to, she had to pretend to be fascinated by the monster and let the family take the initiative to divorce. I think she will pretend to do so anyway. I'll help her do it. Fake come true... Taoist priest, I was stunned by beauty for a moment. I promise that I won't dare to do it in the future. Please forgive me this time... It's not easy for me to practice for so many years... You human beings can't be sentenced to death for the crime of rape. Don't kill me... Whoo-woo..."

Daoquan looked at him and frowned. The last sentence of the hedgehog moved him. Humans rape women and will never be sentenced to death. Why must this monster be sent to a dead end? After all, this would not happen if the woman's father used his daughter as a tool to make a fortune. He bit his lip and kicked the hedgehog and said, "Get out of here. Remember, don't let my two brothers see you again in the future, or even I can't eat with you!"

The hedgehog didn't expect to let go so easily. He was overjoyed and got up and ran away.

"Wait a minute," Dao Quan shouted at him again, "Give me your inner elixir!"

The hedgehog was shocked and subconsciously shook his head. Handing over his cultivation is equivalent to seven or eight out of ten. Of course, he is not willing to give up his years of hard work.

"Life is the same as Neidan's own choice." Daoquan said impatiently, "Anyway, if you die, I can take Neidan by myself." He didn't covet an inner elixir, but just remembered what Daozhen said before he left. If he goes back empty-handed, it is bound to cause the suspicion of the eldest brother and the second brother. He doesn't want to make trouble for himself because he has forgived the monster for a moment. In addition, this monster raped woman and let him go if he didn't give up. Who knows if he will do evil more unscrupulously in the future? Even if he doesn't kill him, a certain punishment is still necessary.

The hedgehog knew in Daoquan's cold eyes that if he did not exchange his life with Neidan, then what was waiting for him was to die and lose Dan to come together. He spit out a bright walnut-sized bead from his mouth and threw it on the ground, and then quickly disappeared into the grass.

Daoquan saw such a thing as the monster Neidan for the first time. After picking it up it with his hand, he looked at it carefully. In fact, it was like a poor pearl with mottled texture and not so crystal clear. The difference is that the inner elixir shines and feels soft. " Can this kind of thing increase cultivation? Daoquan weighed and said to himself in his hand. But he didn't eat it, but put it in his sleeve and walked quickly to the Taoist temple.

Although Yiyun Taoist is a famous Taoist, his Taoism is not big, only a main hall, two rows of wing rooms, and a small backyard where he lives alone. Daoquan entered the side door and quickly ran to the backyard where the master lived. If their brothers went out for business, they should visit the master first thing after coming back. However, Daoquan knew that the master would always meditate at this time every day, so he was not worried about being late to make the master unhappy. Sure enough, when he quickly rushed to the courtyard where the master lived, he saw the two brothers still kneeling in front of the master's door. Before the master's practice was over, he came behind the brothers and quietly knelt down, pulled the eldest brother's clothes and stuffed the inner elixir to him.

Dao Zhi looked back at him and said nothing.

After more than half an hour, the door of Yiyun Taoist finally opened. A 40-year-old Taoist came out and looked at the three disciples and said, "Get up. How's it going?"

"That snake demon has been killed by a disciple!" Daozhen rushed to say.

Grab the credit of the eldest brother! Daoquan thought so and secretly took a look at Daozhen's back fiercely.

"Kill?" Yiyun Taoist frowned.

"That evil beast has done a lot of evil, and his disciple has killed it." Daozhen kowtowed and said.

"Dao Zhi, I know that the second brother is easy to kill, so I asked you to go with him. Why don't you stop him?"

Dao Zhi said with a wry smile, "Master, you know, the hands and feet of the second brother are more neat than me."

"Useless things!" Yiyun shook his sleeves at him in anger, "Obviously, you wanted you to catch the demon back, but you killed it and paid attention to me as a master!"

"Master, I know that you are kind-hearted and the evil monsters are reluctant to kill. They still have to let them go for a few years, but how many of the monsters you are in charge of are really regretting? Is it the monsters you released that still do evil after a few days, or do you want to eradicate them again? In this case, it's not the best to get rid of them from the beginning!"

"How dare you talk back!"

"Master, I'm not talking back, but..."

"Enough, roll back to the wall for three days!" Yiyun Taoist scolded angrily. Daozhen did not panic. He saluted the master, turned around and walked out.

Mian Yun Taoist smiled bitterly: "This child is stubborn."

Tao Zhi hurriedly saluted and said, "Master, the second brother is just jealous of evil. I really can't see those monsters doing evil in the world. Please calm down and don't blame him."

"I'm not angry with him." Mianyun Taoist shook his head and sighed: "It goes without saying that you three apprentices, Daoquan has just started. Among you two, your personality is easy-going. Although you are a little lazy, with your talent, there will always be achievements in the future..." Hearing Master's evaluation of himself like this, Taoism shrank his head and secretly spit out his tongue to Daoquan. Taoist Mian continued: "But Daozhen is different from you. His qualifications are not as good as yours, but his personality is very resolute. He is serious, and he refuses to admit defeat or is not sloppy, so he can't help but be a little stubborn. What I'm most worried about is that he will fall into the magic barrier because he is too persistent."

Dao Zhi and Dao Quan listened to his teaching, and Mian Yun turned to Dao Quan again: "Tao Quan, you are the latest to get started. What do you have to do with your two brothers this time?"

Daoquan saluted: "Master, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. This sentence is really a reasonable saying. The disciple went out with the eldest brother and the second brother this time, which is really rare. If there is such an opportunity, he will ask the master to send more disciples to follow the brothers to study.

"Go out to study, I think you are eager to go out and play." Yiyun Taoist, who has always been serious, rarely joked with his disciples and waved them to retreat.

Dao Zhi and Dao Quan went out one after another and saw that it was still early. Dao Zhen did not follow the master's instructions to face any wall, but took off his coat and practiced his sword in the yard. Seeing Dao Zhi and Dao Quan coming out of it one after another, he sneered: "Every time I am scolded and you to be praised."

"So it's a matter of personal character." Dao Zhi leaned against the pillar and said with a smile.

"The old rule, you have to treat us to eat it tonight." Daozhen put away his sword, picked up his coat and left. His relationship with Taoist is always a little awkward. Sometimes they have a tacit understanding, and sometimes they don't see each other. Daoquan really can't understand it.

"Don't worry, here is the inner elixir of the hedgehog. Do you still want to give it to Lao San?" Dao Zhi took out the Neidan and asked.

"Give it to Lao San. It's rare for him to have such a good heart that he is about to catch up with Master." After saying that, he left first. Daozhi threw Neidan to Daoquan: "It's yours. It's good for you to eat, but don't learn from the second brother. It's addictive to eat this food."

It turns out that the brothers know everything. Daoquan curled his lips until the two of them slipped to a nearby village to eat and drink, but deliberately did not bring himself with him. I guess it was because he secretly released the hedgehog, and they wanted to punish themselves a little. Nedan, eating it can increase his cultivation... He looked at Nedan in his hand and began to think.

Dao sat on his room with his knees and stuffed the inner elixir into his mouth with a little panic.

After the entrance, Neidan felt like a fire entering his mouth. He didn't have time to think too much about it. He swallowed it directly, and then meditated. The heat slid down his throat all the way into his stomach, and immediately turned into flames and rushed to his internal organs. Daoquan carefully guided it to blend with his practice. Together, although the hedgehog is not very profound, it is of great help to the shallower Taoism. When Daoquan opened his eyes, it had been a day and a night. He looked at the morning light outside the window and couldn't hide his excitement. He opened the door and rushed to the courtyard.

Daozhi and Daozhi have finished their routine cleaning work every morning. They are dancing swords in the corner of the yard. Dao Quan rushed over and shouted, "Big brother, second brother, this inner elixir is really useful. My cultivation has really increased a lot."

Dao Zhi knocked him on the head with the hilt of his sword: "What are you shouting about? Are you afraid that the master can't hear you?"

Dao Quan nodded repeatedly and fell into fantasy: "If I often get this kind of internal elixir in the future..."

"You want to do beautiful things!" Dao Zhi hit him again, "It's not that simple. This inner elixir is so useful to you because that monster's cultivation is higher than yours. Can you often get the monster Neidan higher than you to eat? Besides, do you know how monsters practice? Do you think they all rely on Taoism practice? If you eat the monster Neidan, you are not afraid of becoming a half-human monster.

Daoquan smiled sadly, but Daozhen said, "As long as you can keep up with your cultivation and absorb it all, what does it matter?"

"The inner elixir of monsters is always unknown, and they all have a strong foundation for their own practice."

It is not the first time that Daozhi and Daozhen have politics in this regard. They have insisted on their own opinions and shouted, but Daoquan did not speak out to help the eldest brother as usual, because deep in his heart, he thought that he was more convinced of the second brother's theory in this matter.

When the three brothers were arguing here, Yiyun Taoist came out from behind. He disrupted his daily life when he was supposed to have been in the morning class in the morning. The three brothers knew at a glance that something must have happened. They quickly stopped their debate and went forward to salute.

Zhang Yiyun saw that the three apprentices were practicing diligently and felt quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "The three of you have been practicing diligently recently, so that I can rest assured when I go out."

The three looked at each other and asked, "Master, are you going out to defeat the demon again?"

Zhang Yiyun's Taoism is profound, and people often ask him for help thousands of miles away. In recent years, three apprentices have gradually grown up, and Zhang Yiyun has also given them some easier things to do, but when the situation is serious, or there are old friends who can't escape, he still has to go there in person. He didn't say anything about Taoism and nodded and said, "I may go there for a long time this time. You are good at practicing. Don't go out to make trouble, you know?"

Last time Yiyun Taoist went out, the daughter of a farmer's family near the village who often delivered vegetables to Guanzhong was forcibly taken as a concubine. After the old father's tearful crying, Daozhi took Daoquan to the family to make a scene and forced the girl out. After that, because of Yiyun Taoist and many in the court Senior officials also had contacts. The big family did not dare to be his enemy, so the matter was over. However, the two brothers received a heavy punishment afterwards. This time, Zhang Yiyun specially told him before going out, which was naturally specifically for the two of them. The three apprentices bowed together and said, "Yes."

As soon as Yiyun Taoist went out, the life in the Taoist temple immediately became idle. The original daily routine things, such as cleaning, practicing martial arts, asking for peace to the master, etc., began to "reduce" with the personalities of the three brothers, such as Daozhen. After Zhang Yiyun went out, he excused to devote himself to practice and put everything Daily chores, including the laundry and cooking of the brothers, which were originally rotated, are all pushed away. I either meditated or practice martial arts every day. Daozhi also exerted his lazy personality to the extreme, claiming that it doesn't matter if he doesn't sweep the ground for a few days. There is dirt on the ground and no tripping. What does it matter if the clothes are dirty? It's not that you can't wear it without washing. In short, you can do anything. Only people take food as the sky, and you can't be sloppy in eating, so they go out to eat and drink every day, always You have to come back drunk. Daoquan's ranking is the smallest, and the two brothers naturally pushed them all on him, but no one checked and urged him anyway, and the place was like a ghost charm. The clothes were rubbed casually and counted as washing. As for eating, six out of ten meals followed the eldest brother to eat, but there was an excuse. If you don't practice with too many people, you will be happy and at ease. The days without a master at home are like a leisurely holiday for the three brothers, Bei.

Daoquan didn't know how to drink. He went out with his eldest brother every day, but he was inevitably filled with a few cups by Daozhi. On this day, he followed Daozhi to the restaurant in the town and was filled with ten cups by Daozhi. Finally, he couldn't support it and fell down. Dao Zhi muttered and vented his dissatisfaction with this little brother who was not good at drinking, but the other party had fallen asleep and could not hear it at all. Daozhi couldn't help regretting that he would have had to carry him back to his reputation, and it would have been better to drink him less.

Daozhi shop asked for a few pots of cold water, but Daoquan still didn't want to be sober. Daozhi had to suffer by himself. He carried him back and hugged him all the way and threw him back to **.

When Daoquan woke up, it was nearly a thousand nights. He pressed his head as if it was about to crack and sat up from **. It took him a long time to figure out that he was sleeping in his bedroom. He rolled down from ** with his hand and climbed to the table to drink water, but he didn't expect that the kettle on the table was Empty - he has been cutting corners these days, and all the work of getting water and sweeping the floor is not complete, but he is not even ready to go into the water.

"Alas..." Daoquan sighed, staggered to open the door, and wanted to find water in the tank in front of the kitchen.

The yard is dark, and the sky seems to be a little hazy, and you can't even see a starlight. After several years of practice, Daoquan's eyesight has been strong, and he is extremely familiar with this small Taoist view, so he is confused to touch the direction of the kitchen, and he can't wait to hold the big tank in his arms and drink the cold water inside. And to moisten my burning tongue and throat like it's going to dry.

Daoquan staggeredly and approached the kitchen, but found that there seemed to be a figure swinging at the door of the kitchen: "Oh, the eldest brother must be drunk and looking for water to drink here." Thinking of the fact that the person who drunk himself is now suffering from the same pain as himself, Daoquan suddenly felt much better, but he did not dare to follow closely. He was afraid that he would be scolded for not fenging water on time and boiling water to send it to his brother, so he hid behind a tree and wanted to wait for the other party to come out before entering. Go. Unexpectedly, while he was waiting against the tree, he saw the shadow appear in front of him in his drunken eyes.

"Master, brother..." Daoquan just said a word and stopped, because he was not his brother in front of him, but a delicate young woman. "You, you..." Daoquan shook his heavy head hard and pointed to the other party and didn't know what to say.

The young woman was dressed in a palace costume and her face was beautiful, as if it were a sudden moonlight in the dark. She gently moved the lotus to the whole road and asked delicately, "Little Taoist priest, what can I do for you?"

Daoquan shook his head quickly, thought about it, and quickly said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Why did you ask me instead?"

The woman came to the front of Dao, gently twisted her arm with her hand and said, "I've driven a lot of roads. Can't I rest my feet here?" You are such a considerate idiot!"

Diaoquan was overwhelmed by her coquettishness. She took a few steps back before stammering and saying, "You, if you want to find a place to rest, you can stay in my room for one night. Don't disturb my brothers. They won't allow strangers to come to the view."

The woman showed a happy look and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, that's trouble you." With that, he came forward and took Daoquan's arm affectionately. Daoquan has never been so close to a woman, and his mind was uncontrollable. He almost crawled and fled to a place farther away from her: "Don't move your hands and feet... I don't mean that... I just kindly took you in for a night, nothing else..." He said, but the saliva he couldn't help swallowing exposed. His true intention.

The woman winked at him: "I'm going to take someone to your room and say these serious words?"

"I, I'm kind to take you in for one night. Don't think about it." Daoquan stressed again.

"Okay, you are a kind-hearted little Taoist priest. That's fine." The woman covered her mouth and laughed, and she felt dizzy again.

Dao Quan swaying and walked drunk to lead the way. While repeatedly telling the woman to whisper, don't fall in love with his two brothers, he said to the woman without saying a word: "I live in the room over there... It's my eldest brother, and my second brother over there... Their ears But it's very bright. If they know that I have taken you in, not only will you be kicked out, but I won't be able to eat..." He chattered, but didn't see it. When he turned to guide the way for the woman, the woman's originally gentle eyes suddenly became as cold as ice, revealing endless murder. .

She held her fingers several times and couldn't help taking action several times, but listening to Daoquan's guidance, she thought that her current situation was really not conducive to fighting with the three Taoist priests at the same time, so she decided to walk through the room in front of her, which was said to be his eldest brother, and arrived at the western wing of the little Taoist priest living alone before starting.

While nagging all over, he walked forward with unstable steps, coupled with the pungent smell of alcohol and vomiting from time to time, he was obviously a drunk who had lost his reason in front of beauty. The woman looked at his back disdainfully and didn't pay attention to the lustful Taoist priest at all. She started from him to ask for justice for her grievances for so many years. The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, depicting the torture she was going to put on her whole body in her heart.

Daoquan walked to the door of the wing room and turned around and said, "That's it. Let's go in, enter the room and go to bed..." As we reached out to push the door, we suddenly shouted, "Second brother, there is a monster!" He knocked open the door and rolled straight into the room.

The female monster was stunned. A Taoist priest had jumped over the head of Daoquan who rolled into the room and stabbed her with a long sword. The female monster jumped back, and Daozhen pressed forward and fought together in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Daoquan got up from the ground with sweat. He sweated coldly and his clothes were attached to his body. After such a shock, most of the wine woke up. As soon as he saw this woman, he immediately realized that she was a monster, and after the other party used charm to seduce him, he was more determined that the other party was not good, but he felt that his magic power was not as good as the other party. What's more, he was drunk and was definitely not the opponent of the other party, so he simply pretended that he was confused and took the opposite brother. The residence is led away. He thought that it might not be safe for the eldest brother to lead the monster to be drunk, so he said that the room of the quiet second brother who liked to live alone was his residence and led the monster here.

"Fortunately, I was clever and picked up a life..." Dao Quan muttered with sweat. He went to the door to fight and saw that his second brother had gained the upper hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that with a little cleverness and cleverness, he saved his life.

Daozhen fought with the banshee while scolding the other party angrily: "Who are you? How dare you come to our view to find something!"

At this time, the female monster was no longer the charming appearance just now. Her eyes flashed red, her hands turned into claws, and the cold light with her sharp teeth in her mouth bit hoarse to Dazhen's throat several times. A big furry tail behind her showed her true face. Seeing his current appearance, she said to herself: "It turned out to be a fox."

When the female fox heard the real question, she smiled coldly: "Who cares about your broken Taoism, or is Zhang Yiyun's stinky cow nose that trapped me here and tortured me for so many years! Since I can escape today, I want to compensate for the lives of your Taoist priests!"

What! Daoquan was shocked when he heard her words. She was a monster of Master Guan!

In Zhang Yiyun's room and Dan room, there are many gourds hanging on the wall, all of which are monsters trapped by Zhang Yiyun! Daoquan heard from the eldest brother that when the master deals with the monster, he will be determined according to the depth of the other party's evil deeds. If he does too much evil, he will kill him directly, and if the evil deeds are still shallow, he will imprison him. After a certain period of time, if the imprisoned monster does repent, Zhang Yiyun believes that the punishment for him is enough and will also release him. Let them go back to the mountains and forests to continue their practice career. However, the fox girl in front of her not only doesn't seem to have any regret, but also looks fierce. She seems to have a strong hatred for her master and her brothers. The most important master is not watching at all. How did she get out? Daozhen and Daoquan coincidentally thought that someone broke into the master's residence and released the fox girl.

"Go to the big brother! Go to the master's room and have a look!" Daozhen shouted to Daoquan, and a more fierce offensive rushed to the fox girl.

Zhang Yiyun has subdued demons and exorcism for so many years, and there are dozens of imprisoned monsters. If all of them are released... If all of them are released and so many monsters rush up, we will tremble when we really think about it. He knows the cultivation of Daoquan, and it is useless if he goes there by himself. Daozhen also understands this. One point, so I asked him to call him Big Brother Daozhi. While thinking about the place where Daozhi lived, Daoquan also muttered in his heart that it was earth-shaking here. Why didn't the eldest brother move at all?

Daoquan was young and weak, and he had experienced few things. When it came to time, he was inevitably panicked. He almost rolled and crawled to Daozhi's room and shouted as he shook the door: "Big brother, big brother, get up quickly. Something's wrong! Big brother..." He shouted for a long time, but there was no movement in the door. He was anxious and simply adopted the method he had just used in front of the door of Daozhen. He struggled hard with his shoulder and knocked open the door of Daozhi. He rushed into the room and found that the room was empty, and there was no sign of the eldest brother's Taoism at all. Where did the eldest brother go so late?

Daoquan didn't have time to think much about it and rushed back to the courtyard. He heard that Daozhen's fight with the fox girl still came from his ear. He looked around blankly and didn't know what to do. He thought about it and ran to the backyard by himself.

There are only three houses in Zhang Yiyun's courtyard where he lives alone. The courtyard is paved with stone bricks, and various flowers and plants are planted in the interval, which is indescribably simple and simple. However, as Zhang Yiyun's apprentice, Daoquan knew that the master arranged a lot of prohibitions and arrays here to prevent outsiders from entering at will. The three brothers were warned by the master for the most times not to enter the master's bedroom and Dan room casually. Daoquan did not know whether the eldest brother Dao Zhi, who was most valued by the master, was compared with him. He knew more ways to enter the master's room. In short, he knew nothing about it. He circled around the yard, but did not dare to enter the room casually.

Several rooms were quiet, not like people or monsters inside. Daoquan lay on the cracks of the window and looked into the room. Although there were stars and moon in the sky, only a dark place was seen in the room, and the outline of the furniture in the room could not be seen. Daoquan knew that this was the role of Master's spell, and his heart was a little relaxed. Everything seemed to be nothing different. Maybe it was just that the fox girl happened to escape. He thought so in his heart and was about to turn away to help Daozhen, but he heard a soft sound from Master's bedroom.

"Who!" Daoquan didn't bring a sword, so he pulled out his dagger, patted the master's door hard, and then listened to the sound of footsteps inside moving to the door. He held the dagger and prepared attentively. In his heart, he thought that pushing the door must be a monster or a sword-drawn intruder. Unexpectedly, after the door opened, it was Taoism that appeared there. He frowned and shouted at Taoism who was persistent with a dagger to stab: "Little brother? What are you going to do?"

Daoquan was also stunned and said for a long time, "Big brother, you scared me to death. What are you doing in the master's room? Yes, a monster escaped. The second brother was fighting with her. He asked me to beat you to see if there was anything abnormal in the master's room. I saw that you came by yourself when you were not in the room. Did you also find something wrong? The other monsters in it didn't escape, did they?

Dao Zhi frowned more tightly when he heard this, "What? Or did you run one? Let's go and have a look!" After saying that, he walked out first.

"In the master's room..." Daoquan asked uneasily.

"It's okay inside. Why don't you come with me!" Daoquan's tone was very tough and impatient, so Daoquan did not dare to ask more. Although he looked back several times uneasily, he still followed.

When Daozhi and Daoquan arrived, Daozhen had finished the battle. The fox lay on the ground with its original body flesh and blood. Daozhen was holding a crystal clear inner elixir in his hand and was standing beside it and watching it thoughtfully. It seemed that he still forgot the hobby of not to seize the monster's inner elixir at this time.

"Second brother, are you all right?" Daoquan ran over quickly. Daozhen saved his life this time, made him feel much better about Daozhen, and he couldn't help getting close to him.

Dao Zhen shook his head and asked, "What happened in the master's room? How did this monster escape?

Dao Zhi said, "I don't know how she came out. I saw it in my master's room, and everything in it was as usual."

Dao Zhen was puzzled, "Did someone come to save her on a special basis? So why did you see that I was going to kill her, but you didn't come to save her?

The fox demon was scarred, and Dao Quan thought in his heart that he must have tortured her for a long time before taking her life. It turned out that it was to attract the people who saved her. For this second brother's hard heart, Daoquan has been learned. Even if it is a monster, there is no need to be so vicious, right? However, Daoquan only dares to think about this idea in his heart, and he has no courage to say it.

Taoist and Tao are all frowning and thinking. If this happened after the master left, they inevitably think a lot. Zhang Yiyun's room can be entered by ordinary people. If someone deliberately went in to save the banshee, why did he watch her be killed? If he could break Zhang Yiyun's spell, would he still Don't you dare to appear because you are afraid of the three little Taoists? Or did they think too much, only that Zhang Yiyun's prohibition on the ban on the ban on the banshee failed and made her escape. How did she get out of Zhang Yiyun's residence? Is it possible that this fox girl, who can't even defeat Taoism, has the ability to pass through Zhang Yiyun's Taoist formation?

They were puzzled and all kinds of speculations came to their hearts. At this time, they all remembered something and said, "When I saw her, she came out of our kitchen."

The three brothers immediately rushed to the kitchen.

Everything in the kitchen is old, only the lid of the water tank was lifted - Dao Quan originally thought that the figure on the side of the water tank was the eldest brother Dao Quan. In the corner of the stove, a gourd rolled in the firewood, and the purple mahogany lid was thrown aside. Daoquan picked it up and handed it to the eldest brother. Daozhi looked over and over several times and handed it to Daozhen. After the three brothers looked carefully, they frowned more tightly.

This is indeed the gourd used by their master Yiyun Taoist to imprison monsters. In addition to the spell, there is also a small fox image engraved on it, which means that it is a fox spirit. This kind of gourd is grown by themselves in Taoism. The three brothers take turns to take care of the vegetable field and watch them grow and mature. Naturally, they are very familiar with it. The carving above is from the craftsmanship of Yiyun Taoist, and the three brothers are more common and will never admit mistakes.

How did this gourd get here? If the spell fails and the fox girl gets out of trouble by herself, why does she have to bring the gourd here? If someone let her go... Three people, look at me, I look at you, no one will say what they think, but see the same doubts as themselves in the other party's eyes.

Daozhi walked to the water tank, read some words in his mouth, and drew a few spells to point to the water. A clear tank of water seemed to have been put into a little ink, spread like a fog in the water, and finally the whole tank of water became dark.

"Toxic." Taoist squeezed out these two words from his teeth.

The fox girl was seen by the water tank because she was poisoning the water at that time. Although she didn't dare to say that the three brothers would be poisoned, at least if she was drunk, she might scoop up a ladle and drink it.

"What a poisonous fox demon!" Daozhen said hatefully, "If she escapes immediately, where shall we go to catch her? She intended to harm others, but in the end, she harmed herself!"

Daoquan nodded when he heard it, and it was really the same thing.

"But who stole this gourd from the master's room? Bring it here again to release the fox demon? Is it a monster's accomplice or someone else? How did she enter the master's room without touching the array? Taoist said to himself as if he were questioning the two brothers. The same problem actually swiveled in the minds of Daozhen and Daoquan, but when they looked at the jar of poisonous water, no one said anything.

Since the monster escape incident, the life in the view has suddenly become tense. Daozhi and Daoquan no longer always have nothing to do, and Daozhen no longer practice martial arts. They live a regular life like Yiyun Taoist in the view, and from time to time they will go to the courtyard where Zhang Yiyun lives. If you walk in the middle, you must make sure that everything is normal before you can feel at it.

Now Daoquan is standing in the master's yard, looking at the vines on the wall in a daze.

These vines will soon bloom and bear fruit, growing green and cute little gourds. When the gourds grow up, they can be used to imprison monsters after being treated by the master. There are a lot of gourds every year, and I don't know how many of them will be used by the master. I don't know what it's like to think of those ever-changing monsters imprisoned in such a small gourd? They must be looking forward to freedom all the time, right? Daoquan wandered around the yard.

Daoquan did not get all the trust of Zhang Yiyun because of his short entry time, so he was not taught how to enter the master's residence and Danfang. He didn't know what it was like. Every time he heard the two brothers describe that the walls were full of gourds with various monsters, Daoquan's heart would be born. There is a very strange feeling. What kind of room is that? What a mysterious existence is the master who lives in it every day. Every time Daoquan stands in this small courtyard and looks at those rooms that he is not qualified to enter, he will have a very strange feeling to the master who should have been very familiar with. What's more, in such an extraordinary period, it is full of all kinds of illusions about those houses.

At this time, the master's door opened, Daozhen came out, nodded to him and said, "Everything is as usual!"

Daoquan followed Daozhen and suddenly heard Daozhen talking to himself: "Except for me and the eldest brother, no one should be able to enter the master's room without touching any array... If the visitor has such a great magic power and looks at the prohibitions of the various arrays laid by the master as nothing, why should he hide his head and tail? Come out directly, the three of us are not enough for him to rub to death with one hand, is it..." His voice became lower and lower, and Daoquan only heard his last three words say "Big Brother..."

Daoquan jumped up like a needle: "Second brother, what are you talking about!"

Daozhen seemed to have just woke up and said something in his mouth. He seemed to be shocked and waved his hand in a hurry: "No, no, I didn't say anything, I just said... Maybe..." He, who had always been calm, was very embarrassed under the pressure of Daoquan, and muttered that he didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and hurried away.

"Damn! He actually said that the eldest brother... said the eldest brother..." Daozhen's suspicion of Tao Zhi made Dao Quan angry. He had always respected the eldest brother Dao Zhi more than the master. How could he stand the "anatary enemy" of the eldest brother Dao Zhen, who had always been unpleasant to see, saying that to him?

Dao Quan punched the tree a few times angrily, and immediately thought of Dao Zhi and made Daozhen's nonsense to the eldest brother. However, when he strode to the door of Daozhi, he hesitated again. He knew that although he was with the eldest brother The relationship is very sincere. Although the second brother Daozhen and the eldest brother seem to be cold on the surface, in fact, the friendship between the eldest brother and the second brother is far from being able to catch up. Will he run in and say this boldly make the eldest brother think that he is provoking discord and making trouble, and... He looked at Dao Zhigang The newly repaired door remembered that when he came here to help the eldest brother that night, Dao Zhi was not in the room, and when he got outside the master's door, he came out of the master's room.

Did the eldest brother find out something before he met the witch, so he hurried to the master's room to have a look? So why didn't he warn himself and his second brother, and after so many days, he didn't say anything... Dao Quan thought so and stopped in front of Dao Zhi's door. After his nose touched the door, he suddenly realized what he was thinking and couldn't help scolding himself as a bastard. Where did he think he was!

"Why are you sneaking at my door? Come in." The door opened and he said, "What's the matter?"

"No, it's okay." Daoquan's heart was full of guilt and stammered, "I just went to the master's room with my second brother and wanted to tell you that everything was as usual, but I didn't come in because there was nothing in your room."

"What can I do in the room by myself, and I can't play with it!" He is not in a good mood and is also vicious to Daoquan. Daoquan knew his temper, but followed him into the door with a wry smile. Daozhi sat down and sighed and suddenly asked, "Lao San, the more I think about this, the more wrong it is... How can I think about it? It doesn't seem like an outsider to break in and do it. Do you think I'm too much... But... Alas..."

"Big brother..." Dao Quan looked at the sad Taoist spirit and suddenly understood that it was not only the second brother who suspected the eldest brother, but also the eldest brother was also full of doubts about the second brother. No wonder that no matter who went to the master's room to check these days, they would call their peers, and they did not know how to enter the master. The method in the father's room, secondly, he was drunk at night, and thirdly, the fox girl's first attack was herself. The addition of the three items in one place proved her innocence. Among the three brothers, he is the only one who is by no means suspicious.

At this time, Daoquan understood that in the past few days, there have been various precautions between Daozhi and Daozhen. Their performance in front of them may not be to show themselves that they are innocent like themselves.

"But there is always a reason for a person to do things, right?" Dao Zhi continued to say to himself, "Wouldn't the second brother have the idea of beating the monster imprisoned by the master for Neidan?"

When this word entered his ears, Dao's mind immediately flashed the picture of Daozhen holding the fox demon's inner elixir and the body covered with fox demon scars at his feet, and he couldn't help shivering. At this time, another scene came to his mind: when he rushed into the Taoist room for help, Daozhen flew out to rescue him in neat clothes, holding a long sword, and even hanging the scabbard well around his waist. Is it possible that the second brother had the habit of sleeping with his whole body neatly dressed with weapons, or... He had known that there would be a fight at night. , so you are waiting with complete equipment?

Daoquan thought of opening his mouth here, but didn't make a sound. Up to now, there is a heart disease between the two brothers. Isn't it pouring fuel to the fire when he says this and that? In fact, there is a reason in his heart that he doesn't want to admit it - here In this case, he also has doubts about the behavior of his eldest brother Daozhi, so he is unwilling to talk more. But the eldest brother is right. There must be a reason why people do things, right? Why did the eldest brother or the second brother do such a thing? The master is kind to both of them, and they are well aware of the master's temper and rules. Is it possible that they will really touch the master's reverse scales for a monster's inner elixir? It's impossible. It must be that this matter is too sudden. The eldest brother and the second brother are nervous all day long and infect themselves with suspicion! An outsider must have broken in and let the monster go, but how did this person get in...

This period of life can be said to be very chaotic. In addition to practice and daily work, Daoquan always observes nervously every day. It seems that there may be mysterious masters hidden in every corner. Sometimes out of confidence in the master, he does not believe that anyone can enter Yiyun Road without touching the array. In the human room, he inevitably turned his doubts to the two brothers. What on earth was the eldest brother doing that night? Why did he appear in the master's room? Even before that... did he intend to get himself drunk? Why did the second brother dress neatly when he went out to save himself? Did he know that there would be a fight?

If you want to go on like this, you don't know if you are going crazy.

Now the most anticipated thing in Daoquan's heart is that Master Yiyun Taoist comes back quickly. He has inexplicable confidence in his master and feels that as long as he comes back, everything will be solved. Thinking so, I unconsciously asked the two brothers again and again when the master would come back. On this day, he followed Daozhi again, talking about where the master had gone and why he didn't come back. Daozhi couldn't help looking at him with a smile and asked, "Lao San, do you think everything will be solved when the master comes back, right?"

Daoquan nodded his head as a matter of course, but was fiercely fingered by Daozhi: "You fool! I have been with Master for several years, and I still don't know anything about his character! If you can't figure things out before Master comes back, as soon as Master gets home, the bad days of my second brother and I will come - but nothing will happen to you. After all, you are innocent and will be punished for ten days and a half months at most.

"What!" This is completely different from Daoquan's thinking. He originally thought that if the master was here, life would return to its original peace, but there was no more. Maybe he didn't know much about the master's temper. In short, he realized at this time that the master's return would never turn big things into small things as he hoped, but would take over. As soon as the matter is investigated, in case of a result that it is really done by the eldest brother or the second brother, what will happen? Thinking of this, I had a burst of heart palpitations and looked at the eldest brother speechless, so the peaceful life I hoped for could not be achieved in any case.

Dao Quan asked with some panic: "Big brother, that, that..."

Dao Zhi sighed and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Daoquan shook his head: "Big brother, what's the use of asking me, but you and the second brother should figure out a way quickly!"

Dao Zhi looked at him and asked, "Lao San, do you doubt whether I am more or the second one in this matter?"

Daoquan was stunned by his question, and then said impatiently, "Big brother, isn't it just letting a fox demon go? What's the big deal? Even if it's one of you and the second brother? What's more, it may not be you. Let's think of a way to deal with the master quickly.

Dao Zhi didn't expect him to say such a thing. He smiled bitterly and put a hard word on his head: "It turns out that you are thinking about this kind of thing when you have been thinking hard there these days."

In fact, Daoquan has been thinking nonsense in the past few days, and he can't say what he is thinking. However, after listening to Daozhi's words, he suddenly understood his real intention: he doesn't want his peaceful life to be disrupted. What he thinks most is not the eldest brother or the second brother who is more suspicious, but how to fool the master. Bring life back to its original track. So when Dao Zhi said this, he did not deny it with a bitter face.

"You are getting bolder and bolder, and you are actually thinking about how to fool Master. When Master comes back, I will sue you and see if you will be punished!"

"Brother, didn't I say that in front of you? I know you won't say it to Master." Daoquan sat down and held his chin, frown and said, "Big brother, seriously, I really thought you did it at first. You drank so much that day, and the fox girl was so beautiful. Maybe... Hey, you just think about it like that. Don't stare and clen your fist. I really just want to think..." He dodged left and right. Fleeing from Daozhi's fist, "But later I thought that the second brother had more end points than you. He knew in advance that something would happen and waited in the room neatly, and in such an urgent situation, he still had to take care of the inner elixir of the monster... Most importantly, he didn't ask the master's room when he asked us. What, as if he had already known everything..." As he said, he carefully glanced at Daozhi's face and saw a trace of approval in his eyes, he continued, "But I thought that if the second brother did it, his character would definitely kill him immediately. How could he delay her in our water tank? Poisoned and then attacked me again? I broke my head and couldn't figure it out, so I think it's better to let things pass like this and then pretend that nothing happened.

"You really..." Dao Zhi laughed, "But I really can't lie to Master. I'd better try my best to figure things out. I really don't understand. After Master comes back, I will tell him truthfully. Please deal with it."

"Alas..." Daoquan actually felt that he had a good idea, but everything had to be decided by the eldest brother.

"Second, come on in." Dao Zhi suddenly said loudly to the door.

Daoquan turned around and saw Daozhen coming in from outside the door. Taoist sat down with a comfortable look and said, "I don't want to eavesdrop outside the door, but I don't want to come in at that time." Looking at Daoquan, Daoquan suddenly understood that he must have arrived outside the door when he talked about what happened to his second brother. Because he was still describing his doubts about him, he did not come in. Daoquan's face suddenly turned red to the root of his stomach, and he shrank behind Daozhi and dared not go to see Daozhen.

Daozhen said to Dao Zhi and Dao Quan very seriously: "The reason why I was dressed neatly that night was that I didn't sleep at all. When Dao Quan came to call the door, I just came back from the door and came back from the outside. As for why I went out, it was a little private matter, and it had nothing to do with this matter. Close." After saying this, he looked at Daozhi. Although he didn't ask, his meaning was very clear.

Daozhi immediately met his eyes and said, "I went to the master's room to find something - this is what the master allowed me to use, so you don't have to worry. At that time, I will explain to the master myself that I just accidentally found one gourd missing on the wall at that time."

Everyone has something that they don't want others to know, and the eldest brother and the second brother are no exception, just their reasons... Daoquan shook his head and was satisfied that the two brothers were willing to explain the reason to each other and to him. He muttered, "So I still think we should find a way to deal with it. Let's talk about it after the master's level.

"You are not bold and dare to think about fooling your master!" The two brothers scolded with one voice, and Taoist slapped him on the head.

Before Yiyun Taoist came back, things had changed. That night, Daozhi and Daoquan came to visit the master's courtyard as if they had been used to in recent days. Daoquan still stood in the courtyard and watched Dao Zhi look from the bedroom to the Dan room one by one. He looked up at the stars in the sky and took a few deep breaths. The master was coming back soon, and he had no idea about it. Thinking of this, he was at a loss and didn't know if the two brothers had come up with any good ideas.

"Ah..." There was an exclamation from the room. Daoquan rushed to the room before he could think about it, but he was shot out by the array laid by his master. After lying in the yard dizzy, he did not figure out what had happened. At this time, a white light rushed out of the house and shot straight into the sky. After a slight pause above, it quickly disappeared into the night sky in the distance. Dao Zhizhi rushed out of the room and watched the disappearing white light stamp his feet repeatedly. Daoquan got up from the ground and saw that Daozhi's arm was bloody. Before he could make a sound, a wind fell in front of him with a figure. He took a step back alertly to see that the other party was the second brother Daozhen.

"What's the matter? I saw a demon rushing out... Big brother, you are injured!" Daozhen was surprised to go forward to treat the wound for Taoist.

"The fox demon has been released as soon as I entered the door." After Dao Zhi's wound was sprinkled with medicine, he was forced to crack his teeth in the great pain stimulated by the drug. He breathed cold air and said, "She made a sneak attack, and I was unprepared..."

Daoquan looked at the master's room, which was dark and could not be seen from the outside. He couldn't help saying to himself, "Why is it a fox demon again? Did the master catch a lot of foxes?

His words made Daozhi and Daozhen's eyes jump. Why is it a fox demon? Daoquan didn't know that the two of them knew clearly that there were really many kinds of monsters trapped by Yiyun Taoist. If it was a coincidence that two fox demons were released twice, it would be too coincidental. And who can break into Yiyun Taoist's room twice in a row? Especially tonight, when the three people were on guard, another monster was released.

"Big brother, when you went in, had the fox demon been released? Why didn't she escape early and wait until you go in instead? The tone of Taoism is hard.

"I don't know." Taoist's answer has no feelings.

Dao Quan looked at this and that, and his heart was full of worries.

From that night, the most worried thing was that Master would come back, but this day will come after all. A few days after the second fox was released, Zhang Yiyun returned to the watch. Daoquan kept beating drums in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He just knelt side by side with his two brothers and told the original story to Yiyun Taoist.

Yiyun Taoist's face was covered with a layer of frost. His face was ugly when he entered the door. Daoquan originally wanted to persuade the two brothers not to add fuel to his anger, but Daozhi said, "Master saw everything as soon as he entered the house. Do you think you can hide it?" Then he pushed him back.

Yiyun Taoist's eyes turned from Taoism to Taoism, and then from Taoism to Taoism. Even Daoquan, who knelt on the ground and did not look up, could feel it. He was analyzing whether this kind of thing would be done by these two apprentices? Which one will they talk about? Taoism or Taoism? Maybe Daozhi released the fox demon after entering the house, and then got injured. He pretended that the fox demon had been released after entering the door, and the illusion that he was attacked. Maybe Daozhen followed him and slipped into the bedroom while Daozhi was checking in the elixir room, released the monster before Daozhi entered the door, and then slipped out in the chaos and pretended to hear the sound. The appearance. If the doubts are much similar to their two, but from the bottom of my heart, there are still more suspicions of Taoism. However, with emotion, he would rather be the real thing done by the second brother.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yiyun Taoist suddenly said, "Lao San, come in with me."

"Ah?" Daoquan raised his head blankly and saw that Yiyun Taoist had turned around and walked to the room. Daoquan made a winch, and Daoquan came to his senses and quickly followed.

This is the first time Daoquan entered the master's bedroom. Although he tried his best to put on a respectful look in front of the master, he couldn't help staring around. Yiyun Taoist's bedroom is as simple as his Danfang. Except for a cloud bed, several Putuan, a few cases, a Yaoqin, and a furnace of fragrance, there are only those large and small gourds hanging on the four walls. Seeing these gourds, he thought that there was a monster trapped in each of them. He couldn't help shivering. Can he really sleep in such a room? Master is really profound, and he will not be able to sleep if he were himself.

"Lao San," looked at Daoquan kneeling respectfully in front of him. Yiyun Taoist looked at him for a long time before asking, "What do you think of this?"

"I, I..." Daoquan rarely talks to his master face to face. His Taoism is passed down from generation. Usually, he usually greets the two brothers routinely, so he is very nervous at this time and stabs for a long time before saying, "I think it must be done by outsiders. Master, the eldest brother and the second brother can't do it!" Please be aware!"

Yiyun Taoist stared at him for a moment and nodded: "Lao San, you are the latest to get started. You have never been very close to me. You have a good relationship with your two brothers, and your child is soft-hearted. I knew that you would try your best to exonerate them, but have you ever thought that if it was really one of them So where did he put you and his other brother? Has he considered your situation with me as a master? To be clear, does he really treat you as brothers like you?

"Master..." Dao Quan shouted in pain.

Yiyun Taoist looked at him gently and said, "Lao San, I also encountered a trouble when I went out this time. There is a profound monster who has challenged me because I have killed too many evil monsters over the years. If I didn't accept him, wouldn't it destroy the prestige of our Taoist sect and grow those evil ambition? I have responded to this challenge. Ten days later, he came here to fight with me. What do you think at this moment, if there is another traitor among them, what should I do?

Daoquan opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.

Zhang Yiyun's magic power is profound. In recent years, Daoquan has seen several people who came to ask for advice and run away by him. This time, even he is so solemn. It can be seen that the strength of this monster is indeed extraordinary. If there is anything else to distract the master at this critical moment, Daoquan dares not think about this. Fruit." So, Master, I'll go... I'll go..." He wanted to assure Master and do something, but he didn't realize that he didn't know what to do at all, and what can he do with his ability?

Yiyun Taoist looked at him with a depressed face and said with a smile, "I really have something for you to do."

"Master, as you can tell me, I will try my best to do it!" Daoquan patted his chest to guarantee.

"It's not that difficult. Just take good care of the two of them. I won't tell them about fighting with people, and I won't pursue this matter again. In this way, if one of them really does those things, I will think that I have a secret investigation and become more and more flustered, and it is bound to reveal some flaws. If you stare at them and see anything wrong, you will come to sue immediately. Tell me."

Daoquan didn't expect that the master would let him do this, and he didn't expect that the master trusted himself so much. He looked at Yiyun Taoist with mixed feelings for a moment and couldn't say anything. He said for a long time, "Master, Daoquan must do what you ordered, but I believe that this matter must not be the eldest brother or the second brother. Do it."

Yiyun Taoist nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing that Master no longer talked to him, Dao Quan saluted him respectfully, and then retreated. When he went out, Yiyun said in a loud voice, "You three go back and rest. I want to be quiet."

Dao Zhi and Dao Zhen looked at each other and stood up, rubbing their already numb knees. Dao Quan saw that they did not ask him. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

In the next days, Daoquan lived in tension and hesitation. The two brothers obviously knew what the master wanted Daoquan to do, but they didn't say anything, but when they spoke to Daoquan, they added something clear about themselves, which made Daoquan uncomfortable, although he was ordered by his teacher. However, after all, the object of surveillance is what he has always regarded as his brother. When facing their eyes, Daoquan often feels guilty. Several times, he wanted to take the initiative to say to his brothers that he was ordered to monitor them, but he couldn't say it. What's the point of making these to show that he is more trusted by the master than them? Or do you show your kindness while monitoring them? Daoquan was afraid that his brothers would think wrong, so he couldn't speak.

"Big brother, let's eat." After setting up the food, Daoquan said that the master has always eaten alone, and Daozhen always likes to be alone these days, so there are only their brothers at the dinner table.

Dao Zhi grabbed the steamed bread and took a bite, and then asked vaguely, "Master, did you say when the person who challenged him would come?"

I was shocked when I heard this and dropped my chopsticks on the table.

"Master doesn't allow you to tell us, right?" Taoist still eats and drinks, and doesn't care about Daoquan's gaffe at all. "This is his character. He is careful in everything, even his apprentice... Alas, it's my fault that I can't figure things out and let him believe my innocence."

Daoquan picked up his chopsticks, wiped the oil stains on them with his clothes and asked, "Well, how did you... know that big brother?"

"I have been with Master for more than 20 years. I know his old friend. Master accepted the challenge from his friend, and the apprentice of the friend that Master visited this time was also a good friend. He sent a letter to me and asked me if I needed him to help us, so I didn't Got it." He said with a smile, "I think Master must have scruples about this challenge, otherwise he won't let go of this matter, but I don't know when the other party will come? Master must need what our disciples have done for him, but we let him not trust us at this time, so that we can't share our worries for him. Damn it!" He bit the steamed bread in his hand with great emotion.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Dao's mind and blurted out, "Big brother, will it be the man who challenged the master? He used this method to distract his master from fighting well.

Taoism shook his head after thinking: "It is unlikely that the Taoism will not be low for opponents who can make Master pay so much attention to. Such a master must disdain to use this dirty means."

Daoquan curled his lips and thought: What does Taoism have to do with character? Whoever stipulates that people with high Taoism will not use despicable means, but he did not distinguish him from Taoism and turned to the topic and said, "So... what can we do for Master?"

"Master didn't tell us to do more." Dao Zhi said to himself, "In the past, the master would... alas..."

Daoquan knew that someone had come to provoke before, and the master must have asked the eldest brother to help him do something every time, but this time... No wonder the eldest brother's mood was so dull. Daoquan secretly put a pot of wine he got in front of Daozhi, hoping to make him feel better.

"Good boy, dare to go out to make wine behind his master's back. Bring it and confiscate it!" Dao Zhi grabbed it and didn't forget to put a finger on Daoquan's forehead, and his mood really improved a lot.

When Daoquan came to Daozhen's room to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he found that he didn't move the food at all: "Second brother, isn't today's food not to your taste? Then at night, I..."

Daozhen has been sitting under the window and staring out of the window, always paying no attention to his nagging. It was not until Daoquan went out that he asked, "You and the eldest brother both know, but you are hiding it from me, right?"

"Ah?"

"Hmm." Daozhen sat down and said, "I have been with Master for almost ten years. I still don't know his habits? If he meditated without leaving home after coming back from the outside, there must be a strong opponent's door-to-door challenge in less than half a month.

Dao Quan almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. One had followed the master for 20 years and the other had followed the master for ten years. The master actually let himself monitor the brothers? Isn't it difficult for yourself? As he muttered in his heart, Daozhen said, "I know you will definitely tell the eldest brother, but you won't tell me. Sure enough, you and the eldest brother are good brothers..." Hearing Daozhen's words, he heard the rare complaints in this usually cold brother's tone, and thinking of other people's help to him several times, he knew that he knew When he wanted to let go of the hedgehog demon, he turned to the tolerance when he left without saying anything. Daoquan couldn't bear it and stammered to explain, "Second brother, I didn't tell the eldest brother that he knew it - he has been with his master for almost 20 years."

When Daozhen heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, but said nothing more.

Daoquan knew that he didn't believe him and blurted out, "Second brother, Master asked me to monitor you and the eldest brother. He said that if he let go of this matter on the surface, the traitor would definitely think that he was investigating secretly and maybe he would show his feet in front of me. Second brother, I really don't believe that you did it, so I didn't say anything to the master, but now that the master is the enemy, he is suspicious of us. How can help him is the important thing?

Daozhen closed his eyes for a long time and suddenly asked, "Do you still have the wine you asked for? I want to drink too!"
