Chapter 24

"I think the Changshengzi is for your own good." Song Wentong was cooking in the small kitchen, and the flames were soaring, "Although what that guy said is not very pleasant, it is all true."

Mu Gesheng lay on the eaves, "Well, I can hear it."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm hungry." Mu Gesheng poked his head out of the window, "A meeting can take so long, what shall we eat?"

Song Wentong threw it over with a shovel, but he dodged it, "I can smell it, beef brisket stew pot - remember to put less spicy."

The party lasted until the afternoon, and the crowd had just dispersed. Mu Gesheng really didn't expect to be able to leave for such a long time. He was so hungry that he slumped on the roof to enjoy the coolness, and the ginkgo tree was luxuriantly above his head. "Shu Tan." He sighed nostalgicly, "I haven't been in a room for many years."

"Just now I was talking nonsense in the waterside pavilion." Song Wentong snorted, "After a while, the true shape will be revealed."

"Isn't it waiting for you to cook? It's half a day's leisure." Mu Gesheng said, "That's all. I'll have to live in the barracks for a while. I have too many things to do. I think we'll see each other in a while." No more."

"What do you want to eat? Ask someone to tell Zhu Hua in Yeshui."

"Okay, do you want to give me money?"

"Are you fucking looking for a beating or something?!"

Song Wentong's angry shout spread far away, and Wu Zixu, who was about to open the door to come in, was taken aback, "What happened to you, fourth child?"

"Third brother, you came just in time." Mu Gesheng beamed with joy, "This is not enough, let the second child add more food."

Before finishing speaking, Song Wentong threw out a chopstick with his backhand, brushed Wu Zixu's ears and temples, and did not enter the door, "Come whenever you come, what are you doing with the ghost behind you?"

A person turned out from behind the door, and bowed to salute, "Mozi knows everything clearly."

"I wanted to ask when I came here." Song Wentong said while chopping vegetables, "As for the matter of the Seven Family, it's fine if Wu Nian comes. Why do you Fengdu judge come to join in the fun? Is it too long to die?"

Standing in front of the door was a man with an umbrella in his hand and a white face in green clothes. It was Cui Ziyu, the magistrate of the Department of Yin Law.

"I didn't intend to offend you." Cui Ziyu dragged his voice like a drama, and spoke in a high-pitched voice: "The whole story, please listen to me one by one."

"Stop talking nonsense, I just heard people talk about it all morning." Song Wentong took the soaked beef out of the basin and slapped it on the cutting board, "If you dare to tell a story here, I don't mind serving you with wine .”

Everyone in Ginkgo Study has a long history with the Department of Yin Law. The first time Song Wentong and Mu Gesheng made trouble in Fengdu, they were punished by the Department of Yin Law.At that time when everyone saw Cui Ziyu for the first time, the judge presented the crimes one by one in the hall. His long and drawn voice was even more outrageous than now. Mu Gesheng was about to fall asleep when he heard it. After a beating, he finished reading the crime in one breath and went down to receive the punishment.

Hitting the judge in court was originally a higher crime, but Cui Ziyu suppressed it with a blind eye.Since then, the judge's speech problem has finally eased, although it is still urinating, but it will not take a long time to read a crime.

Mu Gesheng jumped off the eaves, and slid a braised chicken paw from the stove, "What's the matter, Master Cui?"

"I've met Mr. Mu." Cui Ziyu bowed and saluted, "I came here this time to ask for a hexagram."

Song Wentong became angry when he heard it, "Are you courting death?"

"Third, stop the second." Mu Gesheng waved his hand, turned his head and smiled at Cui Ziyu: "Master Cui, you have seen what happened this morning, I have no intention of inheriting the position of fortune teller, but I am under the seat of Master." A villain, if you ask me to tell a fortune now, everyone will not look good."

Having said that, Mu Gesheng thought over and over in his heart. It is impossible for Cui Ziyu to understand the truth he said just now, but even so, the other party still came to ask for divination, so what he asked for was by no means a trivial matter.And Cui Ziyu was brought by the third child, which proves that this matter has something to do with Fengdu, and Wushi is also involved.

There are many strangers in Feng Cang, but the judge went all out to invite people. Now there are only two people left in Tiansuan's sect. The elder brother can't leave the mountain in Penglai, so he is the only one left.

What the hell is it that you have to ask the heavens to make a hexagram?

Mu Gesheng's thoughts changed sharply, and he heard Cui Ziyu say: "Mr. Mu, do you know that Fengdu City is Xiguan?"

Chengxi Pass, the land of Abi, Yin soldiers leave the pass.

This name is so powerful that even Cui Ziyu lacked three sighs when he said it, and his tone was cautious.

Muge Shengxin said that I know it too well, what I did there can scare you to death.

Lian Song asked Tong, "What's wrong with Chengxiguan?"

"Since you know the west pass of the city, you must also know what is in the land of Abi." Cui Ziyu said: "When the Yin soldiers leave the pass, they will come whenever there is chaos. In recent years, the world has been in chaos and the land veins are unstable. There is a fear that there will be major changes.”

Mu Gesheng: "So?"

"Changes in the west pass of the city will directly affect Fengdu and even the land line of China. Yama of the ten halls is making preparations early. But God's will is unpredictable, so I sent an official to ask Mr. Mu for a hexagram, and calculate the next time the Yin soldiers leave the pass. time."

"There is a change in the pass, let the king of hell send people to suppress it as soon as possible." Song asked Tong, "What time is the time for the Yin soldiers to leave the pass?"

"If the Yin soldiers do not leave the gate, even the King of Hades will not be able to forcibly wake them up and suppress them; on the contrary, even if the King of the Ten Palaces of Hades makes a move, it may not be guaranteed. Once the Yin soldiers riot, it will even endanger Fengdu." Cui Ziyu bowed to the end, "Life and death At this time, the more you prepare, the more chances you have of winning, please show me your shirt, Mr. Mu."

Mu Gesheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Master Cui, what you are asking for this time is not an ordinary hexagram."

"Your Majesty understands."

"Back then, my second son and I were reckless, and Ginkgo Study owes you a favor." Mu Gesheng sighed, "It's not unprecedented to change the dynasty, and the chaos in the world is not once or twice, but I have never heard of the city. There has been a change in Xiguan because of this, and I have never heard of such a crisis in Feng."

"Mr. Mu." Cui Ziyu said: "Such a sudden change has never happened before in China."

Mu Gesheng was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Yes."

"It is no longer a simple change of dynasty."

After a while, Cui Ziyu leaned over to express his thanks, and disappeared in place.

Each of the three brought a bowl and squatted on the steps to eat.

Song Wentong ate very quickly, and went back to the kitchen to refill after a while, and made another pot of tea, "You are asking for trouble by doing this."

"This is the end of the matter, second child, why don't you say something useful." Mu Gesheng transferred all the vegetables to Wu Zixu's side in exchange for the meat in his bowl, "I still have to find out where Master put the mountain ghost's money. …When I went abroad, I didn’t take it with me, so I gave it to Master, but it’s best if I can’t find it, because there’s no telling the truth.”

"Don't make such foolish ideas." Wu Zixu said: "Sir gave the money spent by the mountain ghost to the abbot of Baishui Temple for safekeeping, and the seven families all know about it."

Mu Gesheng was dumbfounded, "Damn, why don't I know."

Song Wentong sneered: "You don't take the position of fortune teller, how dare you call yourself a member of the Seven Family?"

"I'm not a member of the Qi family, but I have to help the Qi family." Mu Gesheng shook his head repeatedly, grinning his teeth and said, "Everyone is a fucking exploiting class—Did you throw the chili jar into the pot, my second child, why is it so hot?"

"It's spicy, you deserve it, you can eat it or not."

"What kind of tea do you drink if it's not spicy?"

The two started to poke each other with chopsticks, and Wu Zixu was caught in the middle, and said helplessly, "You are such an adult, why do you still eat like a child? Do you want me to coax you?"

Mu Gesheng stretched out the bowl in front of him, "Then do you think it's spicy or not?"

Wu Zixu: "I was listening to Judge Cui just now, it's possible that the second child's hands are shaking if he doesn't pay attention..."

Song Wentong put down his chopsticks, "Then don't eat it."

Wu Zixu immediately rebelled, "Not spicy."

"No, no, no." Mu Gesheng yelled, "Second brother, Ye Shui Zhuhua, is this how you do business? Have you fed your conscience to the dog?"

Wu Zixu: "Does he have that kind of thing?"

Song asked Tong: "Hey!"

The three of them talked to each other, and they were about to quarrel, and the gate of the courtyard was pushed open again.

"Excuse me." It was Chai Shuxin, "The abbot of Baishui Temple asked Mu Gesheng to go to the meditation room."

"You still haven't left in three or nine days?"

Chai Shuxin showed no expression, "I just played a game of chess with the abbot."

"Then you haven't eaten yet?" Mu Gesheng stood up and pointed backwards, "The second child made beef brisket, do you want to eat it together?"

Wu Zixu nodded in agreement: "Exactly, the four of us haven't eaten together for a long time."

"Didn't you fucking say it earlier." Song Wentong kicked Mu Gesheng, "It was the last bowl just now, it's gone."

"It's such a big pot, is it gone?" Mu Gesheng couldn't believe it, "How many bowls did you eat?"

"What's your opinion on the rice cooked by Lao Tzu?"

"I counted." Wu Zixu raised his hand, "Six bowls." Then he was slapped into the bowl.

"Second brother is thanks to your good looks. Otherwise, you will not be able to get married if you have such a big appetite." Mu Gesheng sighed, quickly avoiding the chopsticks thrown by Song Wentong, and then encountered difficulties, Chai Shuxin was him The one who opened his mouth to stay, this person doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so what kind of treat will he offer?Why don't he cook by himself?

Chai Shuxin seemed to see his thoughts, and said, "Don't bother."

"Fourth, you also filled three bowls, right? Why don't you say me?" Song Wentong was still yelling.

This sentence reminded Mu Gesheng, "This is a bowl I just filled, and I haven't eaten it yet, why don't you try it?" He stuffed the bowl and chopsticks in his hand to Chai Shuxin, "The brisket braised pot made by my second child, The taste is not bad."

Song Wentong immediately stopped talking, and gave Wu Zixu a look: Is this person crazy?

Wu Zixu also looked surprised, although they both knew each other when they were teenagers, their friendship is very comparable, and the three of them often rob each other for food.But it was Chai Shuxin, Yao's family always liked to be clean, when he came to Ginkgo Study for a month, compared with his room, the room of the three of them was like a dog's kennel.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chai Shuxin took Mu Gesheng's bowl without changing his face, and began to move his chopsticks.

Needles could be heard in the courtyard, and everyone watched Chai Shuxin finish a bowl of rice.Mu Gesheng was also a little stunned, he really meant to be teasing at the beginning, but who knew that things were going too smoothly, but unexpectedly.

Chai Shuxin handed the bowl to Mu Gesheng, and was about to speak when he coughed suddenly, Wu Zixu turned his head immediately, "Fourth brother, are you kidding me again?"

"What?"

Wu Zixu pointed to Chai Shuxin who was coughing non-stop, "Did you put medicine in the bowl?"

"Are you kidding me? I am this kind of person in your eyes?"

"Is not it?"

But Chai Shuxin waved his hands, tried to calm his breath, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any tea?"

Wu Zixu was taken aback, "Tea?"

"It's too spicy."

Song asked Tong: "..."

Mu Gesheng's triumphant laughter came from the yard.
