Talk about the world of mortals in detail

A woman seemed to have a maid waiting beside her, and a carriage came to pick her up at the door. Based on the information Xue Yuan knew, the identity of the woman could be revealed.

Naturally, the other party was most likely the county magistrate's wife. Xue Yuan wanted to go directly and explain the situation, but he hesitated at this moment. Maybe it was not the best time.

The people over there had already gotten on the carriage, and then the carriage started to move. Xue Yuan, relying on his good foot power, followed directly from a distance.

Just as Xue Yuan expected when he followed, the carriage came all the way to the City God's Temple in the city.

Seeing this scene, Xue Yuan nodded slightly. The county magistrate's wife was right to come to the Chenghuang Temple. In her situation, it would be somewhat effective, and she might even get better directly.

Outside the City God's Temple, Ms. Liu and her maid Qiaoer got off the carriage together. Today, Qiaoer looked at her with a somewhat evasive look, but Ms. Liu was as usual.

"Qiao'er, actually you can rest at home today, you don't have to stay with me all the time."

"Madam, Qiao'er will always be Madam's maid, and she will definitely accompany her!"

Although I just experienced the pain of breaking the melon last night, it actually didn't affect my movements too much today, and the slight discomfort in my lower body was nothing.

Moreover, Qiaoer knew that she would need the wife's nod in the future so that she could change from a maid to a concubine. Otherwise, she would just be a maid having sex with the master.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said nothing more. Qiaoer was still relieved. As a dowry maid, she was actually given to Guan Xinrui together, but Mrs. Liu had always been stronger in the past.

Now that I have looked back, instead of setting up a new concubine for my future husband, it is better to give Qiaoer a title, at least she is one of my own.

However, these things just flashed through Liu's mind at this moment. Today she came to the temple to worship the gods.

With three pillars of fragrance and ten taels of incense oil, the blessings from the City God's Temple greeted the county magistrate's wife with smiles and accompanied her attentively throughout the whole process.

When the incense burners walked out of the City God's Temple, Taoist Xue frowned a little further away.

The county magistrate's wife seemed to have remained unchanged from the time she entered the temple to the time she left the temple.

Could it be that the City God didn't even look at her?

Judging from Xue Yuan's experience, this situation may have many explanations, but it is also likely to fall into the category of "retribution", and gods such as the City God will probably not care.

Xue Yuan thought about it for a long time, and decided to try it in front of the woman to see her character. After all, her appearance was good for her senses.

While thinking about it, Taoist Xue carried his things and walked towards the temple gate, choosing a place to stop.

It seemed that he was originally going to set up a stall here, but when he turned around, he inadvertently saw Mrs. Liu and Qiao'er coming out. Then he stared at Mrs. Liu intently, with a frown on his face.

The distance was not too far, the other party was wearing a coarse sermon, and he looked like this, so it would be strange for Mrs. Liu and the maid who had just walked out not to notice.

Xue Yuan's expression was not frivolous, and he looked a little older. Qiaoer took two steps forward and asked.

"Taoist over there, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, I'm so impolite!"

Taoist Xue bowed his hands and bowed, then Fu Xu put down his suitcase and began to sort out the things on it. The first step was to take down the flag and throw it to the ground.

The flag was directly driven into the ground, and the "Old Immortal Miao Gua" on it was also revealed. However, when packing things, the Taoist frowned and looked back at the woman next to the carriage over there.

On the street far outside the temple, Yu Weng and Hui Mian looked in the direction outside the Chenghuang Temple, and the latter couldn't help but laugh.

"Sir, Taoist Xue is quite good at acting!"

"Hey, how many people who are traveling in the world can't act?"

Taoist Xue's movements over there also attracted Mrs. Liu to take a few steps forward.

"Master Taoist, is there anything wrong with me here?" "As a Taoist, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Qiao'er, don't be rude!"

Mrs. Liu stepped forward and said a few blessings before speaking.

"This Taoist priest, you might as well tell me."

Xue Yuan saw that this woman's words and deeds clearly belonged to a lady who rarely went out, which was not the right thing to do. He thought for a moment and nodded.

"I think this lady is a person with good fortune, but I don't know why today the hall is darkened and filthy. It seems that disaster is coming."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My wife will be fine!"

Qiaoer scolded angrily, and the driver beside the carriage also came over. He also received a salary from the yamen and was considered a member of the public servant.

"Don't dare, don't dare, just pretend that Pindao didn't say it!"

Taoist Xue waved his hands repeatedly, picked up the box and moved a step away, as if he couldn't afford to hide.

"My wife just paid homage to the City God, and the temple blessing said that the City God will bless my wife."

Qiaoer couldn't help but say something, but Taoist Xue over there was minding his own business. He took out a small horse tie from his backpack and placed it on the ground, but he still whispered.

"Worshiping gods does not necessarily mean that gods will bless you, and temple blessings may not be correct. They are just using people's money to say nice things."

"Are you saying that the City God is not working?"

When Qiaoer said this, Taoist Xue straightened up and smiled.

"The City God doesn't care about everything. At least he doesn't care about your matter."

Taoist Xue boasts that he has some ability since he has learned Taoism. He is not omniscient, but he is well-informed. He is also confident and calm when he speaks, and he feels a bit like a Taoist master.

Liu was in the capital when she was a child, and later returned to her hometown with her father. She had seen some of the world. At this moment, her intuition told her that the Taoist in front of her was capable.

"Taoist Priest, please forgive us for being rude just now, but I wonder if the Taoist Priest can help me solve my dilemma?"

Taoist Xue sat on the pony he had set up and looked at Ms. Liu calmly.

"Then it depends on what kind of dilemma it is. If you can trust Pindao, Madam can tell Pindao about the things she has encountered in the past few days, especially some weird and unusual things!"

In this case, the coachman moved the stool on the carriage, and Ms. Liu did not hide anything. She described in detail the coldness she had felt in recent days and the nightmare she had last night.

When talking about the nightmare that woke him up with a scream, Xue Daoren's heart moved, and he realized that the sound he heard yesterday was here!

After listening to the narration, Taoist Xue pondered for a moment before speaking.

"From what you said, you rarely go out, let alone commit any evil. If it's convenient, can you allow Pindao to go to the county government office to have a look?"

Qiaoer interjected.

"Madam, do you need to ask the master about this?"

"It's okay, Taoist priest, just follow us back to the county office. I'll send someone to talk to the master later."

Then the carriage left the area of ​​the City God's Temple, and Taoist Xue sat outside with the driver and went to the county government together.

On the side of the City God's Temple, Hui Mian lay on Yu Weng's shoulder and asked.

"Sir, you won't let Xue Yuan confront Beihai Dragon Lord, will he? He may not even be able to withstand a sneeze from that old dragon."

Yu Weng shook his head.

"He wants to deal with the Haiyu County Magistrate, and also mess up the old dragon's plan. As for confronting the old dragon, he thinks too much."

As Liu's identity, when she has a nightmare and feels uneasy, it is not a problem for a seeker to come to visit her home, and she does not need Guan Xinrui's permission first. Of course, a notification is still required.

At noon, Mr. Xue followed Liu's carriage to the county government office, and was followed by two assigned government officials, who were relatively free to inspect the county government official residence.

Taoist Xue held a whisk in one hand and a compass in the other, walking around the county government office, mumbling words from time to time.

However, what the Taoist said was actually more of a meaningless sound. After all, there were people following him, so it would be inappropriate to just wander around. Even Taoist Xue sometimes needed to put on a show.

However, after wandering around the county government office for a long time, Xue Daoren's doubts became more and more growing.

I searched many places in the county government office, but almost didn't find anything special. I originally thought it should be in the backyard. After all, the county magistrate's wife's main activity area was also there, but Taoist Xue searched for a long time in the backyard, and even I briefly entered some rooms, but found nothing.

The eyes of the government servants who followed the Taoist gradually became impatient. At this time, Taoist Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to some places he had never been before, otherwise he would probably have to perform a show in order to escape today.

After passing through the front corridor, they reached a courtyard archway. Xue Daoren walked quickly through it, and just after passing the archway, he caught a glimpse of the compass that seemed to move.

When I stood still and looked carefully again, everything on the compass was normal again, as if it was just an illusion.

At this time, the two government officials behind quickly chased after him.

"Hey, hey! You can't go there!"

"Yes, you can't go there!"

"Why? I have to go and have a look over there!"

Taoist Xue turned around with a compass in hand and asked, but he didn't force his way in. One of the government officials said.

"That's my lord's study over there. How can I just let you, a pretentious person like you, go there?"

"That is, if the adults are to blame, we must not be punished?"

Taoist Xue nodded.

"That's right, then I won't go."

While speaking, Taoist Xue turned around and wanted to leave. When the two government officials relaxed their vigilance, they immediately turned back and rushed directly to the front.

"Oh, you're such a bastard!" "You're not allowed to go—"

The two yamen servants were shocked and hurriedly chased after them. Xue Daoren also had a stubborn temper. He had to go now. His legs swung back quickly and he ran like a gust of wind. His speed was faster than the two yamen servants who had boxing and kicking skills. Can't catch up.

They rushed directly to the county magistrate's study. Taoren Xue looked down at the compass in his hand, but there was no movement!

A government official guarding the door of the study also made a warning move, and then looked behind him. Two government officials were chasing him.

"You're still running, catch him!" "You're so bold!"

The two government officials behind him, one on the left and the other on the right, grabbed Xue Daoren's shoulders respectively. The latter did not resist, but looked at the compass in his hand with a frown.

"How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"

"How could it happen? When you go to jail, I will let you know how it happened!"

Amidst the commotion, there was a voice coming from inside.

"What's the fuss outside?"

The majesty of the county's leader is still there. With these words, everyone outside became quiet, and one of the government officials responded quickly.

"My lord, this is a Taoist priest invited by my wife. He is walking around in the house, pretending to be a ghost."

Taoist Xue couldn't bear it anymore and immediately scolded him.

"What are you pretending to be? The poor man is just investigating!"

Guan Xinrui in the room had already put down his pen. Someone had indeed come to report this matter just now. He walked to the door and opened it to see what was going on with the so-called Taoist.

When the door creaked open, although Daoren Xue raised his head, his peripheral vision keenly caught the slight jump of the compass pointer.

Then he looked at the magistrate of the county at the door of the study. He had a good appearance and a good demeanor, but just looking at him like this made Taoist Xue's hands and feet feel cold, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

This feeling is very strange and disturbing, even if Taoist Xue thinks he is not bad at it!

What I’m looking at are people?
