Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 12

Let's say Wuyou turned back without merit.

On Zhou Yu's side, he roughly guessed the cause of his inexplicable headache.

It must be caused by someone casting a spell secretly.

Since the other party did not dare to retaliate blatantly, but resorted to such indecent means, then the mastermind behind the scenes is ready to be revealed.

Most likely it was Cheng Dajun.

Of course, conjectures cannot be used as evidence. Even if Zhou Yu is a Juren, it is impossible to report to the official based on inferences.

That would instead scare the snake away.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu came to the study and drew a portrait from memory.

This portrait was exactly what he had seen yesterday afternoon.

Although I only glanced at the other party at the time, I was able to draw seven or eight points with my super strong memory.

After painting the portrait, he called Butler Wu to the study.

"Butler Wu, go find some trustworthy people, and go to various inns in the city to secretly look for this person.

Remember, don't show the portrait in person, but keep the person's appearance firmly in your mind. "

Butler Wu asked suspiciously, "Master, what's wrong with this man?"

"You don't need to ask so many questions, in short, you must find this person's whereabouts.

Once you find it, don't startle the snake, and see who he is in contact with. "

Butler Wu vowed: "Master, don't worry, the villain will definitely take care of it."

After Butler Wu left the study, Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a murderous look in his eyes.

This was the first time he encountered a crisis after traveling to this world.

Once it is confirmed that the mastermind behind the scenes is really Cheng Dajun... If he doesn't kill this guy, it will be a waste of time.

Although Confucianism emphasizes "gentleness, courtesy, thrift and concession", it is by no means without bottom line and principles.

Concepts such as "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" and "all living beings are equal" do not work in Confucianism.

Confucianism clearly distinguishes between good and evil, a gentleman and a villain.

For example, "Close to a gentleman and far away from a villain", "Close to vermilion is red, and close to ink is black."

"Historical Records" has a cloud: the virtue of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of the grievances must be repaid!
Someone once asked Confucius: "What do you do to hate your parents?"

The Master said: "Sleep with a thatch and a dry pillow. If you don't serve as an official, you will share the world! When you meet various markets and dynasties, you will fight instead of fighting against the army!"

The general idea is that if you encounter such a thing, you must be at odds with the enemy.If you encounter an enemy on the road, don't think about going home to get a weapon, and rush forward to fight to the death.

After breakfast, Zhou Yu went to the private school to give lectures for half an hour, and then arranged for a group of students to study by themselves.

Soon after, I changed into a set of ordinary clothes and went to the street alone.

He was still a little worried, and wanted to walk around to see if he could meet the skinny old man from yesterday.

I wandered around a lot, but found nothing.

After all, Guobei County is neither big nor small, and it is not easy to find someone aimlessly.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Yu could only walk towards home.

When passing through an alley, many people surrounded it, and they didn't know what they were watching.

Such lively Zhou Yu was naturally lazy to watch, and continued to move forward without stopping.

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Don't be too expensive, you see clearly, this is no ordinary fox.

The whole body is snow-white, without a single hair.

Moreover, it is full of spirituality, and it may become a delicate beauty someday..."

"Blow it! Even if what you said is true, it's not worth 15 taels of silver."

"I want five taels of silver, sir."

"No, no, no, this fox is the best. I managed to catch it with great difficulty. At least 12 taels..."

The sound reached Zhou Yu's ears, making him stop involuntarily.

After thinking about it, he finally walked into the crowd.

A little white fox was locked in a cage, curled up into a ball, with teary eyes, a terrified and pleading expression.

After seeing the appearance of the little white fox, Zhou Yu couldn't help but move.

He could definitely feel that this was indeed a spiritual little white fox.

The fox seller is an old man, he should be a warlock who has been around for a long time by looking at his attire.

"I pay twelve taels."

Zhou Yu looked up at the old man and said.

As soon as the words came out, the fat man who bid before was suddenly unhappy.

"Who are you? Dare to raise the price with the uncle, you know that I..."

When he said this, his expression suddenly froze, the muscles on his face trembled, and then he changed into a flattering smile.

"It turned out to be Master Zhou, the villain has offended many people, many offended..."

Zhou Yu was too lazy to argue with such people, so he took out a piece of silver and handed it to the old man.

"Forget it, ten taels is ten taels, the silver is mine, and the white fox is yours."

The old man took the money and strode out of the crowd.

It's not so exciting, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Zhou Yu picked up the cage and said to the little white fox as he walked, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I will take you home now, and tomorrow I will take you to the countryside to release them."

As soon as the words fell, the little white fox unexpectedly changed from his previous tearful appearance, nodded happily, and let out a few "嘤嘤" sounds in his mouth.

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

This little white fox can actually understand human language?Is it really refined?
In order to confirm the speculation in his heart, Zhou Yu said again: "Can you understand me? If you can understand, you can shake your head, and if you don't understand, you can nod."

"Hey~"

The little white fox nodded quickly.

Then something seems wrong...

"Hey~"

He quickly shook his head again, looking annoyed.

"Hahaha~"

Seeing this little guy with such a rich expression, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Just now, he deliberately reversed the words, just to test whether the little white fox can really understand human language.

Facts have proved that this little white fox can really understand, but the reaction is half a beat slower.

Not long after, Zhou Yu returned to the mansion.

When Ah Zhu saw the master coming back with a little white fox, she couldn't help but run forward without making a fuss.

"What a cute little fox... Master, don't you like raising birds?"

Zhou Yu said unhappily: "This is the master who rescued him from others and released him."

"Oh~ Master is really a kind person..."

"Azhu, go and get some water, and bring fruit to the study."

"Good sir~"

Ah Zhu went away in response.

Zhou Yu came to the study carrying the cage.

For the sake of safety, he closed the door first, then knelt down and said, "Little white fox, I will let you out now.

But you have to promise me that you are not allowed to run around. "

"Hey~"

The little white fox nodded obediently.

"Ah, very good."

Zhou Yu looked relieved, and reached out to open the cage.

After the little white fox came out of the cage, he found a red rope tied to its hind legs.

Judging from the way the knot was tied, it should belong to some kind of magical prohibition to prevent it from escaping.

So, Zhou Yu asked again tentatively: "Little white fox, don't move, I will help you untie this."

Hearing this, the little white fox nodded happily, and obediently stretched its hind legs.

This little guy is simply too human.

For a moment, Zhou Yu regretted his previous promise to release life.

Such a well-behaved and obedient little white fox is so much fun to keep at home...

Sure enough, as soon as the red rope was untied, the little white fox became much more flexible. He quickly ran around the study room, and then ran to Zhou Yu.

squat.

Then he folded his front paws and bowed.

Seeing this action, Zhou Yu believed that this little white fox had already become a spirit, or was about to become a spirit...
