Early morning.
The slightly cold wind blew away the white mist, and thin clouds floated in the frozen blue sky.
With the scattered sounds of roosters crowing at dawn, Yishui County gradually woke up from its sleep.
As usual, Cui Tianyou came to work at the Exorcism Department office early.
Last night, because he was drunk and high, he annoyed the "tigress" at home, and he was kept outside the house to blow the cold wind all night.
Although as a cultivator, sleep is not necessary for Cui Tianyou, but at this moment, he was yawning constantly because of mental and physical exhaustion.
"Hmph, when I become successful one day, I must divorce that damn bitch!" He cursed secretly in his heart, "First go to the Jiaofangsi in Luojing City to have fun for three days and three nights, and then accept A beautiful concubine with seven or eight bedrooms, let’s have a good time as an official!”
As the official in charge of documents, money and food, the first thing Cui Tianyou does after arriving at the Yamen every day! , is to read the latest Di newspaper, understand the important events that have happened in the Da Qi court recently, and synchronize these news to other officials.
The imperial court of Da Qi used special magic formations to deliver reports to various prefectures and counties.
As a result, local officials can almost always know about important national events at the first time.
"I wonder if there has been any new progress recently in the case of the Lu family's murderous house that has been hotly debated across the country," he thought to himself while flipping through the newspaper, "The reward of five thousand meritorious services, and Those top-grade spells look really appetizing!
“Oh, it would be great if all these rewards were mine.
"With these meritorious deeds, maybe I can improve my cultivation to a greater level - wait until then, let's see if that damn tigress still dares to be arrogant."
At this moment, he saw a clear line of large characters written on the front page of the Di newspaper:
"The case of Lu's murderous house has been solved."
Cui Tianyou was immediately stunned. Keep your eyes open.
He knew that the case of Lu's haunted house was not an ordinary haunting incident.
According to rumors, the ghost in the abandoned old house is powerful and cunning - it is good at hiding its true identity with illusions, and can make people fall into traps silently and lose their way.
If Cui Tianyou remembers correctly, yesterday's newspaper still wrote that "the case is confusing and there is no progress."
How could it be solved so easily in just one night?
This sounds too unbelievable!
"Who is the person who solved this case? How could it be so amazingly efficient?" Cui Tianyou silently guessed in his heart, "Could it be that a saint took action?"
However, , in the next second, Cui Tianyou knew the answer to this question.
I saw him looking at the very familiar name in the newspaper, dumbfounded, feeling as if he was dreaming.
“Yishui Exorcism Department Experience Gu Xu... Damn it, is this newspaper fake? How could it be this guy? "
Cui Tianyou clearly remembers that not long ago, Gu Xu mentioned to him more than once that "it is important for people to have self-awareness", "don't have unrealistic thoughts", "and Desires that do not match your own abilities will only make people feel painful." "We are all weak and helpless second-level monks. Cases of the level of Lu's Haunted House are too deep for us to control, so we should not get involved. "...
Thinking of this, Cui Tianyou pinched himself hard to confirm that he had sobered up.
Then he took a serious look at the Di newspaper and saw that it was stamped with The seal of the Da Qi court also exudes a special aura of true energy - which shows that this newspaper is indeed genuine and not a forgery.
"That little bastard Gu Xu is just like that. Making a fortune silently! Cui Tianyou shook his head and couldn't help but cursed, "On the surface, he said no, no, no, no, but secretly he made earth-shattering news quietly!"
"Hmph, when he comes back, I must ask him to treat me to dinner at Piaoxiang House! Damn it, how dare you deceive me about my feelings! I hope I don't make you poor!"
…………
At the same time.
Shi Xiaohan walked briskly towards the small courtyard where Gu Xu lived.
She jumped and jumped as she walked, like a little sparrow with fluffy feathers.
The early morning sunshine gently caressed her pretty oval face, making her skin look as smooth and translucent as white porcelain.
The purpose of her trip is simple.
She was going to find Gu Xu for breakfast.
Although the health meals made by Gu Xu were too bland and did not suit her taste, she liked the feeling of sitting face to face with Gu Xu on both sides of the dining table and chatting with him freely. .
Soon, she arrived at No. 17, Ping'an Lane, where Gu Xu lived.
Seeing the solemn black door and the steps at the door, she felt a sense of pride in her heart. She couldn't help thinking: "Gu Xu's house is finally a little bigger." He should look like an official of the Qi court."
She climbed up the steps and knocked lightly on the door.
"Gu Xu, I come to you for dinner again!" She said with a smile.
But Gu Xu did not respond to her, nor did he open the door for her like before.
A moment later, she heard an emotionless voice coming from inside the door: "My young master is out on business, please leave a message if you have anything."
Shi Xiaohan recognized that this The voice belonged to the little book boy Gu Xu had drawn on the screen using the art of talisman and seal script.
"Going out to do errands! Going out to do errands again!" The smile on Shi Xiaohan's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he stamped his feet depressedly, "That guy really only knows how to do tasks all day long. !
"Hey, if you are short of elixirs, just tell me no?" Why go to such lengths? ”
Come full of expectations and return full of disappointment.
Shi Xiaohan finally turned around and left, and went back to work in the Exorcism Department gloomily.
However, at this moment, a dark-skinned, short boy held a newspaper in his hand and ran towards Shi Xiaohan happily.
It is Wang Yang, the exorcist department clerk and Gu Xu’s die-hard fan.
I saw him waving the newspaper and saying in a high-spirited manner: "Master Shi, come and read the latest Di newspaper! Brother Gu has secretly done a big thing outside without telling us. !"
"Gu Xu? What is he doing outside?"
Hearing the word "Brother Gu", Shi Xiaohan immediately stepped forward in three steps. , snatched the Di newspaper from Wang Yang's hand.
When she saw the contents of the newspaper clearly, she took a deep breath and stood there blankly, unable to believe her eyes.
"'Eradicating the evil spirits in the Lu family's haunted house overnight and solving a serious problem in Qingzhou Prefecture'...Is this...did he really do this?"
"Of course! "Wang Yang chuckled and said, "This is the official newspaper of the imperial court. It is stamped with the imperial court's seal and cannot be faked.
"Master Shi, do you even doubt Brother Gu's ability?" I have always believed in him! "
"No, I don't doubt it. "Shi Xiaohan said without thinking.
At the same time, she still had half a sentence left in her heart: The ghost in the Lu family's haunted house looks so scary, I'm just afraid that he will get hurt inside.
