Taoist chanting

Chapter 372 Strange, get ready

By the stream, under the shade of trees, the vegetation is fragrant and green.

Hu Qiang'er collected the mahogany powder that fell from the master's carving bit by bit. For his body, 800 years of mahogany chips are a rare good thing, a great tonic, of course, far inferior to the master's The little lump of divine dirt that was hidden.

For rare treasures like that, only during the Chinese New Year, the temple owner will pinch a handful with his fingertips to reward him.

Every time I think about that taste, my mouth waters. It must taste a hundred times better than the flower wine that the donkey master bragged about.

Zhang Wenfeng gently wiped the small peach wood sword with his hand to wipe off the dust. Both sides of the sword were carved with lifelike peach blossoms, peach branches, and peach leaves. Even the texture of the petals was clearly visible. The position of the rune.

The mahogany flying sword that Zhong Wenyong helped him refine was damaged in the battle with Bian Wuguo.

He flipped through the classics, tried to piece things together, and later asked the earth spirit to carve many mahogany swords of different sizes. Prepare for a rainy day.

"Qiang'er, have you written down everything I told you?"

"Write it down, master, don't worry, I will take care of those two Fuyao fruit seedlings that have been cultivated."

"I don't know how long it will take me to go out this time. The head of the mountain and the others are not good at spiritual planting techniques, so you take care, and I will reward you when I come back."

"The spiritual plants and fruit trees above and below the mountain gate are wrapped around Qiang'er, so there will be no mistakes in keeping them."

Hu Qiang'er swallowed and patted her small chest in agreement.

Zhang Wenfeng laughed and said, "You little greedy cat, isn't it just a little dirt, does it taste so good?"

Hu Qiang'er rubbed his forehead and smirked along with him, he just took that one bite.

An apprentice on duty ran from the archway of the mountain gate, leaped to the other side of the stream with great agility, and saluted: "My lord, a Taoist priest named Chen Qingqiao is here to visit."

"Oh, Guanzhu Chen is here."

Zhang Wenfeng put away the tools and semi-finished mahogany sword in his hand, got up and patted his robe, washed his hands in the stream water, walked to the mountain gate, greeted Chen Qingqiao who came to visit, and greeted him, please come to the mountain.

After sitting down, Chen Qingqiao explained the purpose of coming, and said: "A few days ago, there was an accident at the home of an apprentice in the Taoist temple. His parents fell ill for no reason. He invited many doctors to see him. He took some herbs, but he didn't get better. Both were bedridden and groggy all day long.

I tried my best, and then I was ready to do the funeral. I went home to see the last apprentice of my parents. I returned to the Taoist temple and asked me to take a look. I found out that it was the carpenter who made the new bed furniture for their family. Out of the 'weary win technique' curse harm.

I asked someone to move the patient from the new bed to another room, disassembled the bed, and took out the two small paper figurines hanging under the bed wrapped with hair. The heads of the paper figurines were only a little bit about to separate. After pouring the bowl of talisman water, the patient can get out of bed and move around. "

Zhang Wenfeng asked with a smile, "Did the carpenter catch it?"

He didn't ask why, a guy like this who used magic to take someone's life couldn't let it go.

Chen Qingqiao shook his head: "I went a step too late. The carpenter in the neighboring village hanged himself on the beam at the head of the bed. I have been careful not to let the magic backfire on the caster and not alarm the carpenter. I don't know how he noticed it?"

"Have you found anything?"

"Indeed, I later found out that the carpenter went to Xihezhou Town to learn his craft when he was 16 years old. After I inquired clearly in the town, I rushed to the coffin shop where the old carpenter worked. There was only a room full of dead people in it. One alive, five people in the coffin shop, from the shopkeeper to the boy below, were all hanged in the backyard corridor, hanging neatly and floating around."

Chen Qingqiao sighed, the scene at that time, even as a monk, he felt creepy.

Looking at his expression, Zhang Wenfeng asked, "That old carpenter has run away?"

"Run away. I asked all over the town, including the docks and intersections, but no one saw where the old carpenter named 'Master Xiong' went? I have already handed over the case to the county."

Chen Qingqiao continued: "Feng Chengyun attaches great importance to this case and sent someone to track down the whereabouts of the old carpenter. I heard from my friends in the Daolu Branch of the county that they did not find any useful clues. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. They have been busy for several days. Pending cases pending.

But after thinking about it, I still wanted to track down the whereabouts of the old carpenter, and I always felt that things were not simple, and it was too evil.I don't know if you have time, Guanzhu Zhang, and I want to use your blessing to solve this case and let the wronged soul rest in peace. "

Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "I recommend someone who may be able to help you."

He was planning to go to the Luobaoling Great Forest to the west to practice, and he didn't have time to help find such a troublesome case.

"I don't know which Gao Xian Zhu Guanzhu recommends?"

"My second senior brother, an acquaintance you know, he is good at the technique of divination and derivation, wait for me to call him and see if he is willing to investigate the case."

Zhang Wenfeng got up and went to the door to send a summons, he could not make decisions for the second senior brother, even if he was the master of the temple.

But he believed that the second senior brother was very interested in solving the case, especially that the second senior brother's deduction skills had improved recently, so it was his wish to have a case for him to try.

After receiving the subpoena, the second senior brother quickly flew to the top of the mountain to greet Chen Qingqiao. After hearing about the case, the second senior brother clapped the case and shouted: "Xiao Xiaoxie, everyone should be punished. Chen Guanzhu, let's handle this case together. There are too many mundane tasks to watch the Lord, and I can’t get away from it.”

"Okay, okay, without further ado, let's rush to Xihezhou Town now, I still have a few supplies from Carpenter Xiong, and the second senior brother just happened to show off his skills."

The two hit it off immediately, both with warm hearts, got up and walked out.

Zhang Wenfeng got up to see him off, and said, "Second senior brother, let's take Lu Zijin to handle the case together, he has a good nose."

The donkey heard that he was going on a long trip with Tu Ling, to the very mysterious Luobaoling Forest, so he clamored to go out with him yesterday, but Tu Ling wanted to take the mountain badger out, and in the end the winner was decided by guessing. The Badgers won two of three and earned a chance to go out.

The donkey who couldn't afford to lose chased and killed the mountain badger several times.

But the overall situation is settled, it has no power to recover, and today it will continue to look for the bad luck of the mountain badger after blocking the back mountain.

Hearing that the second senior brother was going to take it out to handle a case, Donkey Pidianpidian followed him.

Sending off the two people and the donkey, Zhang Wenfeng explained to Yue Anyan that he flew into the air and headed east without any delay on the way. He arrived in Zhoucheng in the afternoon, went to the court to visit Xie Hufa as usual, and asked for a lie so that he would not find anything. People who don't reach him.

As a guest minister and supervisor, Xie Hufa didn't arrange much to do from the beginning to the end, he was very grateful.

Xie Hufa told him to pay attention to safety, but did not ask where he was going.

It is an unspoken rule that monks should not disclose their whereabouts when they go out for training or treasure hunting.

After talking for a while, Zhang Wenfeng quit the door, went to Guanfengyuan and knocked on the door of Yun Qiuhe's room, walked in, closed the door, and greeted with a smile.

Yun Qiuhe took out a map and some bottles and cans from the storage bag, and said, "In addition to the general map of the Luobaoling Great Forest you need, I also prepared some antidote powders and pills for you. There is also a bottle of 'Bigudan' newly developed by the Metropolitan Daolu Academy, one can last for three to five days, and it is more convenient to go out in the wild."

Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile, "It's still you who think carefully."

After looking at all the items and putting them into the storage space, he talked for a while, and then went out. He also had to go to the street shop in Fangshi to prepare some items that might be useful.

"Be careful. It is said that the depths of Luobao Ridge are very dangerous."

"I'll take care, don't worry."
