Chapter 184: The Dilemma Ahead
What kind of sect Jin Shengtang is, and how much strength it has, many onlookers on Suzaku Street know it, but there are basically no people who dare to talk in public, the black mother secretly observes, and can already guess how big Brother Meng's origin is, so the background of this sect, what is strange in it, it is worth thinking about. Zhong Kui has to stuff Luban No. 7 into it, which is equivalent to breaking into the interior of Jin Shengtang, and the plot is definitely not simple.
The old master didn't speak, and he could guess the things that the black mother was thinking in his head, so the black mother's series of performances made him quite satisfied, which was reasonable.
Before he walked out of the street, Brother Meng was still on the side, so he said with a straight face: "It's not the first time we've gone out, as long as we can find a place to live, we can live a good life again, why are you staying here and worrying?" ”
After listening to the old master's words, the black mother nodded and looked at Luban No. 7 again, but no longer shouted roughly, but kept silent, lowered her head, and walked straight to the southwest.
"Hey, a few brothers, Chang'an City is prosperous and prosperous, there are many places to go, I'm afraid there is only the southwest to go, it's ...... there"
Among the common people, the majority of them are wise and wise, and there are also well-wishers who are righteous and courageous. Zhong Kui, the magistrate of Chang'an City, saw the head and the tail, and it is said that he lived there, and it was frequently haunted there, and strangers would definitely lose their lives if they went!
The purpose of Brother Meng's stay is to prevent people who have sinned a lot from harming him, as long as someone makes a sound, he will glare, which is more fierce than a hungry wolf. Those who spoke had to shut up.
Until the stranger walked away and couldn't see his back, he asked the two little apprentices to shout: "Hey, hey, hey, listen up, all the officials, today because of the trouble caused by the rude foreigners, a few of our Jinshengtang miserable people can't perform, and as a result, they haven't earned a copper plate, and they can't go back to the top!" Please also ask the officials to take care of one or two, let my two ignorant little men play around twice, and then give some small money that can fool the top? ”
The content of the begging is pitiful, but the voice is so domineering that it makes the scalp tingle, how can people really think that Brother Meng is begging? That's a threat!
The unlucky passers-by walking on the street, whether they were busy or not, all stopped to watch the performance, but Brother Meng didn't know that his move was exactly what the Black Mother wanted, they didn't encounter any obstacles, and walked out of Suzaku Street smoothly.
The shouting voice was far behind, and Meng Qi glanced cautiously around a few times before he dared to speak: "Master Teacher, Brother Hei, Zhong Kui has waited for us for so long, and he hasn't waited for anyone, will he run out to find us?" ”
Hei Mu couldn't answer, glanced at the old master, and expected to look the most knowledgeable, but the old man shook his wide-sleeved green robe, but he didn't speak, he didn't need to ask, and he didn't know Zhong Kui's situation.
Ben Hei Mu had no choice but to guess and say: "First of all, judging from Zhong Kui's appearance and characteristics, it is not ordinary, I estimate that none of what happened in Chang'an City can escape his eyes, including how Jin Shengtang's people are doing nonsense." Maybe he's just watching us somewhere, you say? ”
"My black brother's stupidity is not ordinary, do you still need to guess what you said?" Mengqi became smarter at this time, and even said that the black mother was stupid, and really regarded herself as a student who was valued by the old master.
"Okay, then I'll go ahead and explain." Hei Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and then said: "Zhong Kui is the biggest official in Chang'an City, but ordinary people can't see him, and when they can see him one day, he will be a dead man, so what does this big official do every day, who can say accurately?" ”
"Huh? Who knows what great things Zhong Kui does at home every day? The old master was able to remove the disguise at this time, and he couldn't wait to speak, and when he opened his mouth, the essence of the old man was revealed.
Mengqi's analysis is the most insightful: "Before, you were all hidden in my dream beads, and I was the only one who could see the overall situation, and at that time, I could see that Zhong Kui was more than a mysterious person?" It's the best of the mysteries! His mystery involves both the living and the dead, that is, Zhong Kui is not only full of mystery to the residents walking on the street during the day, but also to the dead who appear at midnight, right? ”
"Wow!" The old master shouted: "Mengqi really said a little truth, in the pond of Jixia Academy, you are the only one standing outside Mengzhu. But you don't have to be crepe-like, you have to bite the text and chew the words, how to distinguish the dead from the living, and what they have in common, directly say that it is the judge who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and can play people on both sides, so that in case we don't find him, even if Chang'an City comes in vain, won't it be over! ”
It seems that the old master is going crazy, worried that he has been tossing for so long, but the bamboo basket is empty, and in the end even the road to how to go back to the primeval era has been blocked, and he will never see Jixia Academy again in this life, how sad is that?
Hei Mu comforted the teacher and said: "You can relax, if we can have the ability to leave Suzaku Street, it will mean that there is no endless road to heaven." If the wicked people make money on the street in a dignified manner, it means that they didn't come along, so it's all right. What is that called Brother Meng in Jin Shengtang, the purpose of dealing with us is to get Luban No. 7, he is already satisfied, why are you still chasing after us? I think we'll be able to clean up next. As long as you see Zhong Kui, you can rest assured that you can go forward, what should you do at that time, how to cooperate with Luban No. 7 inside and outside, and listen to Zhong Kui's instructions quietly! ”
"That's right, as long as Zhong Kui appears, all problems will not be a problem. But if he doesn't show up, the problem will get bigger and bigger! The southwest side of the city is haunted, and when the ghost comes out in the middle of the night, doesn't it really have to be swallowed by the evil spirit? Black Mother, whether we succeed or fail, it depends on whether Zhong Kui shows up or not, and whether the first step taken by the Tianshu Search Brigade is right or wrong, we will see......"
The old master cried with an old face, and pointed out to the two that there was no turning back from the start of work, and they could only advance and not retreat now, but they were in a dilemma.
He looked at Mengqi and said, "Brother Qi, you already know my origin, and you are also more powerful than me, I mean the power of Mengzhu." You know more about Zhong Kui than we do, when you were hiding in the water, Zhong Kui appeared right under your nose, so why don't you tell the two of you, how to judge where Zhong Kui is? Maybe with the help of the dream beads he has stayed in, he can really find out the specific location? ”
"Yikes!" Mengqi scratched his head vigorously, his memory was not very good, and as soon as he was reminded by the black mother, he thought about the key points, clapped his palms and laughed: "Exactly, I remember that when Zhong Kui and I were separated, he reminded me to find his map, which was hidden in the dream bead!" ”
