Fairy cage

A sound of blowing sounded for no reason, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the main hall.

"Trumpet, suona?"

Someone heard what kinds of things were played, and they recognized them cleverly, and asked jokingly:

"Is there any family in the clan who is getting married today? Listening to this sound, they are still happy and lively."

But what surprised everyone in the hall was that the sound of the blowing became clearer and more obvious, as if it was heading straight towards the main hall.

The Yu family and the Huang family, who were in a state of surprise, subconsciously focused their attention on Yu Lie, who had just appeared and revealed his identity as an eighth-grade Taoist disciple. They suspected that the sound of playing outside the hall was that of Yu Lie. Brought here.

But Yu Lie had a look of surprise on his face when he heard the sudden sound of blowing. He looked at the rest of the people in the hall in surprise.

At this time, the patriarch of the Yu family paused and said to Yu Lie jokingly:

"Yu Lie, but your fellow Taoists specially came to our house to congratulate you on your promotion? Why didn't you tell them earlier so that the clan could make some arrangements?"

Hearing this, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. He pondered, not bothering to cover up, and simply raised his hands and said:

"No, Pindao is alone when he returns to Diquan County. As soon as he returned to the county town, he rushed over to his clan, and he didn't have time to reunite with his friends in the city."

Hearing these words, the head of the Yu family frowned, and the elder of the Huang family next to him was also slightly confused.

However, the atmosphere in the Huangjiasu Laojian Hall was interrupted again, and anger rose on his face. He drank:

"Clan Chief Yu, whether there is a happy event or a funeral to be done in your clan today, I advise you to discuss the business at hand with Pindao first, and then talk about other irrelevant matters. Otherwise, you will not wait until it is too late."

When the head of the Yu family heard the shouting, a look of resentment appeared on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "What Huang Daoyou said is exactly what he said."

He then looked expectantly at the old man of the Huang family and Yu Lie beside him, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Huang, today the remnants of our clan have returned to the clan. Why don't we and the three of us go to the private room within the clan to discuss this matter in detail. For the rest of the people waiting, Friend Daoist, you just need to give some comforting words first. Give them a sure word, and their hearts will settle into their stomachs, and they will no longer bother fellow Taoists."

The head of the Yu family was hinting to the old man of the Huang family, asking the Huang family to give in and not go too far for the sake of the Yu family having a new Taoist disciple.

Elder Huang Jiasu heard this, and there was hesitation on his face.

Although he still believed that there were four Taoist disciples in the clan including himself, and the family status was still higher than that of the Yu family, but something unexpected happened today, and he was not sure of Yu Lie's specific potential and identity. It seemed that he had to give Yu Lie's Save some face, don't completely tear your face apart.

But at this moment, Yu Lie next to him sneered and said:

"Why bother? Patriarch, the Huang family and my Yu family have signed a contract about their work and so on?"

Hearing this, the head of the Yu family nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Yu Lie asked again: "Did the contract stipulate the time period for payment and various types of mortgage?"

The head of the Yu family had a serious face and nodded. He had already vaguely realized what Yu Lie wanted to say.

The old man from the Huang family next to him narrowed his eyes slightly and had a cold look on his face.

Sure enough, the next sentence is:

"Since we have agreed on a time limit, we can just follow the rules. Why be so procrastinating! If the time limit has passed, we will go to the yamen in the city to ask for instructions to show fairness and give the order."

After that, Yu Lie, who was still staring at the Huang family members, said coldly:

"I, the Yu family, work for your Huang family. They are just working. We are not slaves of your Huang family.

The Huang family can give it to them as much as they want. I don’t want to give it, but my Yu family deserves it and should give it! You can't wait! "

When everyone in the Yu family heard this, their faces turned red and they were very excited.

Many of them waited for Yu Lie's words to finish and immediately shouted out one word:

"Okay!", "Color!"

“Brother Third, what you said is great!”, “Brother Lie, what you said is great!”

Even the head of the Yu family, who looked embarrassed, actually let out a deep sigh of relief.

It is said that this guy has been fighting with the Huang family for a long time today, and he has said a lot of good things, but the Huang family refuses to fulfill the contract, which makes him angry from the bottom of his heart.

Now Yu Lie's words can be regarded as saying what the head of the Yu family wanted to say but did not dare to say.

However, the head of the Yu family was very shameless. He did not applaud like other clan members. He just silently gave in and gave up his position to Yu Lie, allowing Yu Lie to confront the other party.

This guy is half a human spirit, thinking in his mind:

"Yu Lie has become a new Taoist disciple and is a great source of confidence for our clan. Moreover, he is young and should say harsh words. Even if something goes wrong and hurts the harmony between the two clans, he can still do it at such a young age. Turn around and explain.”

Mr. Huang's face suddenly twitched when he was scolded by Yu Lie in front of him.

Especially when Mr. Huang Jiasu looked at Yu Lie's too young appearance, the anger and anger in his heart were entangled with a trace of jealousy, which made him laugh in anger and said coldly:

"Huangkou kid! Even if you have become a Taoist disciple now and returned to Diquan County, you have been away for three years, and the Taoist priests in the city don't recognize you at all. Are you sure you can enter the Yamen with the confession? Once you enter the Yamen, can you find the right person to do the job?"

Mr. Huang Jiasu said threateningly:

"Is it possible that my Huang family is really short of your family's wages?

Young man, the water here is very deep and you can't get to the bottom. Pindao advises you not to get involved as soon as you come back, so as not to delay your future in vain. "

Threatening, Mr. Huang Jiasu seemed to have suddenly remembered something again, and chuckled:

"I suggest you learn from the noble son of the head of your family and cut off from this run-down family as soon as possible. This is the right thing to do."

These words made everyone in the Yu family buzz in the hall, and the head of the Yu family next to him had a face that was even more shameful and angry.

But the head of the Yu family didn't know how to retort. He lowered his head with a look of shame and was speechless.

When Yu Lie heard what the other party said, he frowned slightly and thought in his heart:

"What this person said is indeed worthy of caution. What kind of situation is the Yu family in now..."

Huang Jiasu Lao saw Yu Lie become silent, and the chuckle on his face turned into laughter.

He cupped his hands towards Yu Lie and said in a sudden and soothing tone: "That's all! Fellow Daoist Yu, what I just said was abrupt. Today is a good day for Fellow Daoist Yu to go home after his promotion. It really shouldn't spoil Fellow Daoist's elegance."

The man pondered, and said with dignity:

"In this case, Pindao will give in today. The matter of the Yu family's money and food is just a trivial matter. Pindao can be sure that if fellow Taoist Yu Li is willing to come to my Huang family as a guest tomorrow, he will definitely pay the full amount and let him Have a good New Year everyone.”

After saying this, the old man of the Huang family waved his sleeves, bowed his hands to the surrounding Yu family, and walked out of the hall with a few members of his family.

Among them, Yu Lie, the second sister who was married, looked at Yu Lie hesitantly, but still chose to keep her mouth shut and hurriedly followed the Huang family and others.

At this time, the sound of playing and playing outside the hall was still loud and noisy, with no intention of stopping.

So the old man of the Huang family walked, shaking his head and saying regretfully:

"Tsk, how can such a big family be so noisy? How unbecoming is this? Is it really ruined?"

When everyone in the Yu family saw this, almost everyone was filled with indignation and rage.

"What a Huang family! There is no way for the king to do anything!"

"These days, isn't it the uncle who owes money?"

In particular, many of them had hopes in their hearts because of Yu Lie's appearance, but as a result, the matter of asking for money was still not resolved today. They were even more disappointed than when Yu Lie had just entered the door.

Some people couldn't help but shouted at Yu Lie and asked, "Brother Lie, why are you silent?"

There were also people who shouted: "Brother Lie, you keep your word, let's go! Let's go to the Yamen now and sue the Huang family!"

But Yu Lie stood in the field and heard the noisy voices in the hall, but he just frowned a few more times and remained indifferent.

He was not irritated by the words of the elder of the Huang family, nor was he stimulated by the words of the clan members around him. He rationally chose to stand in the field and watch everyone in the Huang family walk away.

As the old guy named Huang said, Yu Lie still had to worry about the extent of the dispute between the two clans.

If the water was really deep and he stepped in impatiently, that would be the most ridiculous thing.

And the person who should be most anxious and angry at the scene should not be Yu Lie.

Yu Lie glanced at the silent head of the Yu family next to him.

The footsteps of the Huang family and others could be heard beating one after another.

"Two fellow Taoists, there is no need to send them far away."

The sound of chuckles came from the Huang family, and it was the elder of the Huang family who raised one leg high and stepped towards the threshold of the main hall of the Yu family.

Such laughing sounds undoubtedly made the Yu family and others feel even more angry and aggrieved.

But at this moment, the noisy sound of blowing and beating got closer, as if it was right at the door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Huang family and others, who were about to walk out in a swaggering manner, suddenly stopped and seemed to be still.

The leader of the group, Elder Huang, crossed the threshold with one foot and froze in mid-air, unable to land for a long time.

The rest of the Huang family and others also remained stiff.

Such a scene surprised Yu Lie and others, and many people stopped shouting and cursing. They were not sure what the people in the Huang family were doing.

Someone couldn't help but muttered: "Huang, are you chasing evil spirits or ghosts?"

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, a cold feeling suddenly poured in from outside the hall, making everyone in the hall feel cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave and encountered a ghost.

But this cold feeling subsided in an instant after coming into contact with the remaining rows in the hall, and I deliberately avoided it.

Then, the trumpet suona!

The sound of playing suddenly increased to a new level, like an explosion.

The Huang family members, who were standing in a daze at the door, began to move.

They stepped back continuously, their movements a little haphazard, as if they were being forced by someone, they walked straight backwards, not daring to slack off.

Soon, figures of people and horses appeared outside the main hall of the Yu family. They were all golden, bright and dazzling.

The leader was riding on a paper horse painted with gold paint. Its face was covered with strange rune tattoos. It had a crown and a broad belt, and its appearance was stiff and inhuman.

Behind it, there are paper figures and horses arranged on both sides, wearing golden armor and helmets, holding plaques and gold melons as ceremonial guards. They are prosperous and gorgeous, and there are also Buddhist music playing and singing, which is sharp and harsh.

Every time the people and horses took a step towards the main hall of the Yu family, the Huang family members who were about to go out just staggered back a step.

Among the Huang family and others, the Taoist disciple Su Lao not only did not look embarrassed or angry, but instead had a sullen face and hurriedly waved his hand behind him, for fear that someone would be careless and shout:

"When ghosts and gods travel, step back, step back!"

This sound sounded, causing the rest of the people in the hall to react. Everyone stared closely at the group of people walking in from outside the hall.

"Qianjun ghosts and gods!?", "Master ghosts and gods?"

Yu Lie also raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at the people and horses coming over and thought: "There are deep lines on the face, paper riding in the city, and ceremonial guards on the road... It is indeed written in the Taoist book, a specification for ghosts and gods to appear and travel."

The head of the Yu family also recognized it, his face was dazed, and he had no idea why ghosts and gods suddenly came to his family.

For a time, all kinds of thoughts were running through this guy's mind, and he even had bad thoughts. A few drops of cold sweat broke out, and he thought in horror:

"The visitor is evil!?"

Yu Lie also thought of this, with surprise and doubt on his face.

Yu Lie glanced at the head of the Yu family who was sweating next to him, and felt frightened in his heart:

"Could it be that there is someone in the clan who has done something wrong, something that deserves to be expelled from the family, or even wiped out?"

Everyone in the hall seemed to have been poured cold water on them, and everyone in the Yu family looked panicked.

This is really why everyone should not panic. You want to know what kind of existence ghosts and gods are? The lowest of his generation is also a seventh-grade low-level Taoist official. And things that involve such existence are often not trivial matters.

Among many things, the most worthy of action by ghosts and gods, and the thing that ghosts and gods often do is to capture the criminals who have violated the laws of Taoism and confiscate their homes and destroy their families!

Everyone in the Huang family stupidly stepped back, taking about ten steps, before suddenly coming to their senses, and the elder of the Huang family shouted again: "You are all stupid, quickly step back to both sides, don't block the way. "

Everyone in the Huang family dispersed to both sides, no longer standing on the central axis of the lobby, blocking the progress of the paper figures and horses.

Mr. Huang Jiasu opened the way and greeted them, and the Yu family members in the hall also dispersed, revealing a large and spacious road, and "welcome" with confused expressions.

The paper man and paper horse completely walked into the hall.

The leader of the blunt ghost didn't even look at the old man of the Huang family, nor at any of the Yu family members. It turned its head, its eyes finally looked straight at Yu Lie, and dismounted with a snap!

There was a rustling sound of paper. After dismounting, the ghost's body flashed out of the way. Without waiting for anyone's reaction, it suddenly appeared in front of Yu Lie, confirming that it was Yu Lie it was looking for.

The distance was even closer, and Yu Lie could clearly see the appearance of this ghost and god.

He looked at it, his heart skipping a beat, and suddenly he felt that the ghost in front of him, even though his face was covered with weird and dark lines, still gave him a slightly familiar feeling.

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on Yu Lie. They had different thoughts and did not dare to speak.

Under a special kind of majesty and oppression, many ignorant people dare not even breathe.
