Chapter 444 The Mantis Catches the Cicada
[Congratulations, you successfully helped Uncle Jiu obtain the status of the God of Japan. 】
【Congratulations, you have once again achieved the achievement of 'deep filial piety' and will be rewarded with 2,000 filial piety points. 】
【Your current filial piety balance is: 2191 points. 】
Shao Qing, the moment he turned around, three lines of system characters suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
Qin Yao paused, and a smile appeared on his face that was released from the bottom of his heart.
Very good, just as he expected, the achievement of deep filial piety is not a one-time achievement. Ten thousand moral virtues in exchange for two thousand filial piety may seem like a small amount of money, but in fact it is a huge profit. After all, adding a few points does not mean adding points of moral virtue.
With a thought in his mind, the characters in his eyes disappeared. Qin Yao ducked to the cliff and jumped down.
In a blink of an eye.
His tall and strong body floated lightly on the ground. Looking up, he saw the big-headed ghost in front of the mountain wall who had just released his shackles.
"Who are you?" The big-headed ghost didn't sense his presence at all. It wasn't until he was about to leave that he spotted Qin Yao with his peripheral vision.
"You have no right to know who I am..." Qin Yao slowly drew out the God-Zhanping Sword, and a murderous aura that shot straight into the sky instantly filled the entire valley, locking the big-headed ghost's body: "If you want to survive, Just answer me a few questions honestly "
The big-headed ghost felt cold all over, and the hair on his body stood up. He asked fearfully: "What's the problem?"
"You were hired by Lei Gang. Or are you just taking orders from him?" Qin Yao said quietly.
The big-headed ghost said without changing his expression: "I don't know any Lei Gang..."
"Huh."
"Bang!"
Qin Yao raised his hand and threw the God-cutting knife. The long knife broke through the air and flew to the big-headed ghost like lightning. Under his gaze, it instantly pierced its chest.
The huge impact even sent it flying, and it was heavily wedged against the mountain wall.
"Ah..." The big-headed ghost shouted in pain, holding the back of the knife tightly with both hands.
"The answer is wrong, I'll give you one last chance." Qin Yao stepped forward slowly, with an indifferent expression.
"I said, I said."
The big-headed ghost almost roared: "I have an employment relationship with him, and he asked me to cooperate in a play to coax a fool. The boy learns the five ghosts' fortune-traveling techniques... Sir, no matter what grudges you have with him, it has nothing to do with me."
Qin Yao strode up to him, taking advantage of his fear, and stretched out his hand to press it down! On its head, a soul-searching technique was forcibly performed.
The spiritual consciousness entered the other party's world of consciousness, fast forwarded through the memories of countless crimes committed by this evil ghost, and finally found the scene about Lei Gang.
From the memory point of view, this guy is quite honest, and what he just said is basically true; but also from the memory point of view, in terms of the sins this guy has committed, it is a sin to let him continue to live!
With his consciousness withdrawing from the opponent's world of consciousness, Qin Yao slightly raised his palm on the head of the big-headed ghost. A platinum fireball gradually gathered in his palm. When he gently touched the scalp of the big-headed ghost, he suddenly felt It turned into a torrential fire and ignited his entire body.
Qin Yao drew out the God-Beheading Sword, took two steps back, and watched the big-headed ghost disappear into ashes under the flames. He summoned the white jade official seal with a flip of his hand to check Yin De.
According to his opinion, considering the extent of the evil deeds of this big-headed ghost, he must have a hundred points of Yin De. However, before he took the initiative to click on the details of Yin De, he was caught by the Yin De floating above the official seal. The total amount was shocking.
Total amount: one thousand four thousand and three points.
14003?
Grass.
Where did this ten thousand and four come from?
He opened the income details with a face full of astonishment. The first thing that caught his eye was:
Lin Fengjiao transferred 10,000 to you.
Qin Yao: "..."
Although he had already speculated in this regard, after seeing the transfer information with his own eyes, he still felt a mixture of emotions.
For a time, there was no excitement at all about spending two thousand filial piety points in vain.
"Huh..."
After a long time, Qin Yao gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a thought in his mind, he disappeared in an instant.
Two days later.
It is noon.
Mao Xiaofangzheng, who was dressed in a gray and white gown, was taking Xiaohai to dry herbs in the courtyard. A rickshaw suddenly stopped in front of the open door of Fuxi Hall, and a man with a mole on his chin walked out of the car. Fat guy.
"Wait for me here."
The fat man said to the rickshaw master, then pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, walked slowly into the dojo with heavy steps.
In the courtyard, Mao Xiaofang, who heard the noise, raised his eyes and looked up: "Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Master Mao?" The fat man cupped his fists and saluted, and asked politely.
"I am Mao Xiaofang." Mao Xiaofang nodded and said in return: "Your Excellency, you are here to see me?"
The fat man took out a banknote from his arms and said respectfully Delivered to him respectfully: "It's a trivial matter, but it's not a sign of respect."
Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly and pushed back his palm: "I can't accept this gift because I don't deserve it for no merit. Please tell me why you are here."
The fat man held the bank note, pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Yu Da Chu Yu should be your disciple, right?"
"Ah Chu?" Mao Xiaofang was dumbfounded.
From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the other party actually came for Ah Chu.
"Yes, Mr. Yu Dachu won at least a thousand yuan in the five casinos I opened."
The fat man said respectfully: "Because I heard that he is your disciple, We have done nothing about this.
But I open a casino to make money. If Mr. Yu continues to win, my family fortune will soon become his. So I came here this time to ask Master Mao to give me a life. "
Mao Xiaofang: "..."
He knew that A Chu liked gambling, but winning a thousand yuan still shocked him.
Normal situation No matter how lucky one person is, it is impossible to win them all, let alone accumulate one thousand yuan!
"Master Mao, if you think my greeting gift is not enough, I have more here!" . ”
The fat man took out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes, put it on the shelf where Mao Xiaofang was drying herbs, and begged: "I just ask your disciple not to mess with me anymore."
Mao Xiaofang took a deep breath. , solemnly said: " In fact, I don’t know anything about this matter! If you believe me, please go back first, and I will definitely give you an explanation after I understand this matter.”
Fat man. Startled slightly, then Then he took back the banknote and said quickly: "Of course I believe in Master Mao. If you are busy, I will leave first."
Seeing his broad back disappear from sight, Xiaohai swallowed hard: " Master, I think there must be some misunderstanding. How could Ah Chu win so much money?"
Mao Xiaofang narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Yeah, how did he win so much money?"
afternoon.
A Chu, wearing a brand new gown, hummed a tune and jumped into the dojo like a child. When he caught a glimpse of Mao Xiaofang standing in front of the main hall, he suddenly smiled and said: "Master..."
< br>"Achu, come in." Mao Xiaofang turned around and stepped into the main hall.
A Chu was in high spirits and didn't notice anything wrong with Master's mood at all. He strode into the main hall: "What's the matter, Master?"
"Kneel down!" Mao Xiaofang stood there In front of the statue of the ancestor that had been hung up for some time, he faced Ah Chu and shouted sternly.
Ah Chu's heart trembled, his smile quickly faded, he knelt down on the futon obediently, raised his head and asked: "Master, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You don't know what you did? "
Mao Xiaofang shouted.
A Chu's face turned pale and he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Yu Dachu, do you still remember the three precepts of our sect?" Mao Xiaofang asked seriously.
Ah Chu said guiltily: "Remember, remember..."
"Which three precepts?" Mao Xiaofang asked again.
Achu was speechless.
Mao Xiaofang's eyes turned cold, and he turned around and took out a cane from behind the pillar: "May I ask you, what are the three precepts?"
"One precept betrays one's trust and deceives one's master and destroys one's ancestors. The second warning is that the mind is not right and the magic is harmful to others; the third warning is that the Taoist magic is used indiscriminately and disturbs the people," Ah Chu said anxiously.
"What else?" Mao Xiaofang looked indifferent.
"Violators, violators..."
"What about violators?" Mao Xiaofang shouted.
"Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the school." Ah Chu said with fear.
“Tell me, which precept did you break?” Mao Xiaofang asked.
A Chu: "Using Taoism indiscriminately, disturbing the people?"
Mao Xiaofang's eyes turned cold, and he hit A Chu on the back with a whip, pulling out a kid from his body, and then kept whipping continuously. Five blows, and all five imps were pulled out, rolling on the ground in pain.
“Is it just a matter of using Taoism indiscriminately and disturbing the people?!”
A Chu was speechless.
"From today on, you will..."
"Master!"
At this time, Xiao Hai rushed in from outside the door, knelt down in front of Mao Xiaofang, and interrupted his voice: "A Chu was just confused for a moment."
" If everyone who makes a mistake says that he was confused, then what's the point of having rules?" Mao Xiaofang shouted.
"Master, please, please let Ah Chu go this time." Xiao Hai kowtowed.
A hint of bitterness appeared on Mao Xiaofang's face: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules."
Ah Chu's heart trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Mao Xiaofang, but his eyes were extremely unfamiliar.
"Junior brother." Lei Gang was suddenly helped into the main hall by Lei Xiu and called in a low voice.
“Senior brother.” Mao Xiaofang greeted him.
"It's true that there are state laws and family rules, but I believe A Chu has good intentions. Just like Xiao Hai said, he was just confused for a moment. Why don't you give him a chance." Lei Gang said sincerely. Ah Chu was stunned and turned to look at Lei Gang, feeling a warm current surge in his heart.
Just because he did something wrong, the master beat and scolded him, and even expelled him from the master, which was ruthless.
But at this critical moment, the uncle stepped forward and interceded for him. How could he not be grateful and excited?
"Senior brother." Mao Xiaofang frowned and said, "If we can't be dealt with strictly, then where can we set the rules?"
"Serious words, serious words."
Lei Gang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no greater good. Ah Chu, do you know your mistakes?"
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Ah Chu hugged Mao Xiaofang's legs and said loudly: "Master, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away."
In fact, he The reason why he stays in Fuxi Hall shamelessly is not only because of the relationship between master and disciple, but more because he has a clear understanding of himself.
A Chu from Fuxi Hall is a respected mage in the town.
After Yu Dachu left Fuxi Hall, he no longer had the qualifications to be superior to others. No matter how much money he had, it would be difficult to keep it in the end.
Not to mention, only by staying in Fuxi Hall can you have the opportunity to come into contact with Xuanmen Taoism. In the future, you can use Fuxi Hall as a springboard and use the Maoshan Platform to move towards a higher and larger world...
In the courtyard.
Qin Yao looked at this scene indifferently.
He knew that from now on, Yu Dachu's loyalty no longer lies with Mao Xiaofang. Once the situation changes and the other party needs to choose between Mao and Lei, today's scene will turn into a stick. The needle pierced Yu Dachu's heart deeply, driving him to throw himself at Lei Gang!
The relationship between master and apprentice for many years is not as good as one time of help. Is this an exaggeration?
Very exaggerated.
Is it common?
Also very common.
How many brothers who have shared weal and woe have turned against each other because of one thing?
Even... just because of a woman!
The human heart is so cold. If a good person does ten thousand good things, others will only take it for granted. But if he does one bad thing, it will immediately become the source of disintegration...
Many times, what’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
Often once a crack appears, it is doomed to a broken ending!
Qin Yao has a clear understanding of the current situation, but has no intention of putting out the fire at this moment.
Let the bullets fly for a while longer...
“That’s it, that’s it.”
In the main room, Mao Xiaofang hesitated for a long time, and finally threw the cane to the ground and said: "Ah Chu, kill these five little devils yourself and abolish the magic. I will spare you today. But what happens next? This time, no matter who pleads for you, it’s useless. Listen clearly. Are you ready?”
“Listen clearly, Master!”
A Chu was cruel, picked up the rattan that Mao Xiaofang dropped on the ground, and beat the five little devils hard. These little devils were dying, and their hearts became increasingly heavy.
"Also, send back all the money you have won. We will never keep ill-gotten wealth or ill-gotten wealth." Mao Xiaofang said again.
If beating the five brats to death made Ah Chu feel heavy, then asking him to send the banknotes back was tearing out his heart.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to refute at all, he could only nodded silently and accepted the matter.
"Go ahead." Mao Xiaofang waved his hand.
A Chu put the cane on the table and strode out of the main hall.
"Junior brother, you are too harsh." Lei Gang sighed.
Mao Xiaofang was helpless: "I am now the head of Fuxi Hall, and I cannot let the founder down."
Lei Gang shook his head, not knowing what he meant, but he stopped talking.
A few days later.
Late night.
Lei Gang stood on the top of a mountain, looking at the brightly lit town in the distance. He took a white cloth bag from his waist and opened the bag towards the town.
“Huh...ha.”
"Eh."
"Hahaha."
......
As all kinds of scalp-numbing laughter sounded, green lights emitted from the bag. He flew out and rushed towards the town one after another.
“Chi.”
After putting away the ghosts in the bag, Lei Gang suddenly pulled up the mouth of the bag, and his body disappeared in an instant...
The next morning.
A large group of people gathered together and knocked on the door of Fuxi Hall. When they saw Mao Xiaofang, they immediately started talking like a group of ducks communicating.
Encountering this situation early in the morning, Mao Xiaofang's brain hurt from the noise, and he waved his hands vigorously: "Folks, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, speak slowly, one by one. . ”
“Master Mao, it’s a disaster. I opened the door this morning and saw a bloody handprint on the door.
I thought it was some naughty kid's prank, but who would have thought that many people in the neighborhood had bloody fingerprints on their doorsteps, and that's not how the prank was played. "An old man wearing a double-breasted black shirt said first.
"Yes, yes, I think it is most likely caused by ghosts. Master Mao, you must protect us. "An aunt said loudly.
"Take me to see it. "Mao Xiaofang said.
After a while, everyone gathered around Master Mao and came to a shop.
Mao Xiaofang stretched out his hand to wipe the bloody fingerprints on the door and murmured: "There are indeed some ghosts. gas. ”
"Yes, Master Mao, what do you think we should do?" the aunt said quickly.
Mao Xiaofang: "Tonight, we will open an altar to catch ghosts!"
Night.
Long Street.
Mao Xiaofang stood in front of a Dharma altar, holding a mahogany sword in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"I'm going to do magic tricks later."
In the crowd, Shu Ning, who was holding a new camera, murmured.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Seeing the unkind looks from the people around him, Lin Zhijian gently tugged on Shu Ning's clothes.
On the throne.
Mao Xiaofang dances with his sword, chants incantations, moves around, and performs magic to attract ghosts.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the surroundings were always quiet, with no trace of ghosts at all.
Gradually, Mao Xiaofang stopped and fell into deep thought.
"Junior brother, let me try it..." When the crowd of people watching began to talk about it, Lei Gang came to Mao Xiaofang's side under the attention of countless people.
Mao Xiaofang hesitated for a moment, handed over the peach wood sword, and silently moved away.
Lei Gang caught the peach wood sword, used his power to cast a spell, and a strong wind suddenly rose between the heaven and the earth. Just this prelude was enough to overwhelm Mao Xiaofang.
Soon after.
Green ghosts appeared from the strong wind, screaming and rushing towards the altar.
"Is there really a ghost?!" In the audience, Shu Ning was stunned, and his worldview instantly collapsed.
She thought that the people in Fuxitang might have faked it, but the ghosts floating in the air were obviously not created by fakery.
"Junior brother, you protect the safety of the people, and I will catch the ghosts."
Lei Gang said, took out a cloth bag, knocked out the ghosts one by one, and then forced them into the cloth bag.
Mao Xiaofang, who planned to catch ghosts, heard Lei Gang's arrangement and had to withdraw from the legal platform to protect the safety of the people. However, at this moment, he heard some harsh noises from the crowd...
"Master Mao couldn't summon ghosts no matter how hard he tried, but Master Lei summoned them with just one move. Does this mean that Lei Is the master’s cultivation much higher than Master Mao?”< br>
"You still need to ask? That's for sure! Otherwise, why would Master Mao call him Master Lei?"
"Now, it's good, there are two masters here, we will be here in Gantian Town from now on Don’t be afraid of these things anymore.”
Hearing this, Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly.
He always felt that there was something very fishy in this, and nine out of ten the fishiness was in those ghosts!
In a blink of an eye.
Lei Gang put the last ghost into the bag, and raised his hand to send the bag to the candle to ignite it.
"Senior brother, wait a minute." In order to find out the truth, Mao Xiaofang immediately shouted.
Lei Gang paused slightly and said, "Junior brother, do you have a question?"
"I want to question these ghosts." Mao Xiaofang said.
Lei Gang: "If we don't burn them to death now, I'm worried that something else will happen if we have long nights and dreams."
Mao Xiaofang: "I think if we don't find out the truth, it might still be possible. Something similar will happen again.”
Lei Gang hesitated for a moment and finally handed the bag to Mao Xiaofang.
"Hello, Director Lei, I am a reporter from the Sun News. Can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
At this time, Shu Ning boldly came to Lei Gang and said loudly.
"Sorry, I won't accept interviews." Lei Gang declined, and then turned and walked into the darkness.
"It's okay, everyone has dispersed." Mao Xiaofang clapped his hands and said to everyone.
After everyone dispersed, Mao Xiaofang took the cloth bag back to Fuxi Hall, released one ghost after another in turn, and questioned him carefully, but no matter how he questioned him, he could never find out the reason.
at the same time.
Outside Fuxi Hall, at the corner of the ancient house, Qin Yao, whose whole body was covered by shadows, whispered: "Athena, Xiao Wenjun, keep an eye on the town. Something strange will definitely happen tonight..."< br>
