Chapter 215 Xiaojin's Disappearance

"Hurry up, hang up the plaque!" Zhang Dahei shouted loudly.

Several servants were standing on the ladder, hanging a huge plaque.

There are three large characters 'Baron's Palace' written on this plaque.With the title of title, this house can be called a 'mansion', which is aboveboard, not a secret claim.

This plaque weighs more than 300 kilograms, and it is made of high-quality red sandalwood, which is an old sandalwood from the Jinhua Empress Temple. The best engraver in the county was hired to carve these Zhang Wei characters on it.

It is said that this word was sent by the big boss in the capital.

The original small plaque now hangs below.

The moment the plaque was hung, all the neighbors came to congratulate, but there were few people in Tianmen County, and the congratulatory people were sparse, not lively enough.

Zhang Dahei looked at the plaque with satisfaction, as if it was hanging in his own home.

Suddenly, he was attracted by a child at the door.

The child was wearing a cumbersome dress, and he looked like a jade carving. He was looking up at the plaque in a daze.

Zhang Dahei looked at it, and still wondered whose family it was, so he went up and asked, "Child, whose family are you from? Why are you here? Where is your adult?"

He thought that the child's parents should be nearby, and they probably also came to congratulate him.

But the child ignored him, but stared fixedly at the plaque.

At this time, someone suddenly called Zhang Dahei, and Zhang Dahei did not continue to take care of the child, but turned around and left.

After looking at the plaque for a while, the child raised his legs and walked into the baron's mansion.

Today is the day when the Baron's Mansion was listed, so many people came to congratulate Zhang Wei for being a lord.Naturally, there are people coming and going in this mansion.

And this child was wearing a complicated and gorgeous dress, and his appearance was carved in powder and jade. He could tell at a glance that he was a child of a wealthy family.When the servants of the Zhang family saw him, they would only think that it was someone brought by a guest.

Ever since, the child walked all the way to have a look, and actually came to the backyard.

The backyard is where the family members live, and it is generally not open to the public.But Zhang Wei's home is very special, because he has no family members, and Xiaoqian, the only female family member, is entertaining guests in the front hall at this time.

The Zhang family is very busy today, most of the servants are entertaining guests in the front yard.

After the child came to the backyard, he walked in without hesitation.He looked left and right.Came to the side of the Demon Town Tower in the backyard.

He looked at the Demon Town Tower with a frown, and then walked away. This thing gave him a bad feeling, and he didn't want to stay for long.

As he was walking, he saw soybeans resting in the yard.

Soybean doesn't need to entertain guests, so he hides in the backyard to enjoy the quiet.When the kid walked in, Huang Dou blinked and looked at him.

He suddenly said: "This is a private place, isn't it impolite for you to enter without warning?"

The child also blinked at him, and suddenly said, "You can talk!"

Huang Dou looked at him again, and said angrily, "Is it strange that I can talk? Who are you? Why are you here?"

The kid thought for a while, walked up to Huang Dou, sat down, and said, "I'm also a baron, so I came in to have a look."

Soybean smiled when she heard the dog face.

"What do you mean you are also a baron, just come in and have a look?"

"My father said that he would give me a baron's mansion. I have never seen what a baron's mansion looks like, so I came in to have a look."

The child said honestly.

Soybean looked at him again, his eyes were pure and his mind was calm, he did not lie.

Huang Dou sighed and said, "Even so, you still have to inform the owner here."

The child nodded half-understanding, and said, "Then you are the owner of this place? You are the only one talking to me all the way in."

Soybean lay down on the soft grass and said, "I'm not the owner of this place, um... I'm half the owner."

The master is the master here, so I'm half the master, so that's okay, right?

At this moment, the bell around the little boy's waist suddenly rang, and he immediately stood up and said, "Oh, someone is looking for me, I have to go."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran two steps, jumped into the pool in the courtyard, and disappeared without a trace.

And at this time, the three great immortals also came out from the corner. They looked at the pool where the child disappeared, and asked, "Brother, who is that?"

Huang Dou glanced at him and said, "I don't know him either, but he's not a bad person."

The three great immortals nodded, and then said: "Young master said, let us entertain Chenghuang and the others, big brother, let's go."

Huangdou nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

After speaking, the three immortals and Huang Dou walked into a small hall.

This is a side hall in the backyard. It was originally used by the hostess to entertain some close friends.But now the place is full of ghosts, cold pig's head, cold chicken, cold fish and wine are placed on the table.

Although there was no one in the entire flower hall, the sound of toasting and eating was constantly heard.If ordinary people hear it, the timid may get sick from fright.

But in the eyes of Huang Dou and the three immortals, this place is full of ghosts.

Sitting in the middle of the dining table was a man in a red official uniform. This man was the City God, named Wu Qianpawn.This former pawn was a veteran of the current dynasty. After the overthrow of the previous dynasty, he took the initiative to bring his family to open up wasteland here. After his death, he was named the City God of Tianmen County by the imperial court.

Over the past hundred years, the Wu family has flourished here.However, the family did not produce any scholars, it was just an ordinary family.

Speaking of it, Wu Chenghuang is quite aggrieved, because this is the territory of Granny Jinhua, he is no different from a transparent god.

But Zhang Wei is still very good at uniting comrades, he specially invited Wu Chenghuang here, no, he just finished chatting with Chenghuang, and sent Huangdou and three immortals to accompany him.

There is no other way, no one else in the family can see the Yin God, so they can only come to accompany him.

............................................................

After a burst of water splashes and a few 'gurgling' sounds of water, the little boy appeared in the Swan Lake Biyou Palace.

The Ninth Prince looked at him with raised eyebrows, and scolded: "You sneaked out again? Why did you leave the mansion?"

The little boy didn't speak, just lowered his head, twisting his clothes with his fingers, not daring to look up.

When the Ninth Prince saw him, he felt restless.He scolded: "Since you are here with me, you should listen to me and don't run around, you know?"

"Yes, brother." The little boy finally responded in a low voice.

"Don't call me brother! Call me Ninth Prince! I don't have a younger brother like you!" Ninth Prince shouted at him.

Hearing this, the little boy lowered his head even more, his hands were twisted on the hem of his clothes and he did not move.

The Ninth Prince snorted coldly, and unconsciously glanced at the small bell on the little boy's waist, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, but he still left.

After the Ninth Prince left, the little boy sat down sullenly.With his legs curled up, his head buried between them, he cried, "I don't like it here, I miss you so much, Mom."

In the empty room, there was no one, no one heard his words, and no one heard his cries.

As night fell, the Zhang Mansion finally ended its day of hustle and bustle.The golden Town Demon Tower emits a faint golden light, and the ghost beads on the top of the tower emit fluorescence.

The starlight attracted by the two large formations began to emerge, embellishing the night sky here into a sea of ​​stars.

It is still very hot in August, and people who come out to cool off at night will come here unconsciously, admiring the beautiful lights here.

For them, this is the most beautiful place in the county.Although it is not possible to enter the Zhang Mansion for close observation, the tall Demon Suppressing Tower can be seen from the outside, and the light emitted can also shine for several miles around.

Adults are chatting and drinking tea under such a landscape, children are playing and running wildly here, and young lovers are shy and smiling in love.

This place has obviously become a civic activity square in Tianmen County.

Of course Zhang Wei will not drive these people away, he even provides free tea to the people here every night!

In the Zhang residence, Zhang Wei was discussing something with Xiao Jin.

"Xiaojin, how about you help me deliver the goods to Yinshanshan City in the future?" Zhang Wei said to Xiaojin with a smile.

The cute little Jin tilted the crane's head and said strangely: "Why?"

Zhang Wei touched his beak with a smile, and said, "Because you are the most suitable at home. You fly fast, and it only takes half a day to get to Yinshan Mountain from here. You can come back in the same day, and the others have to run away." For several days."

Xiao Jin thought about it, and it was indeed so.He nodded and said, "But I can't buy anything."

"It's okay, I have a list, and the people in Shanshi will help." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Xiao Jin said, "If that's the case, I have no problem."

Zhang Wei also smiled and patted him.During this time, Gui Yi went back to practice.He had done enough work, got enough sword washing pills, and then returned to practice impatiently.

This is not a good thing for wage earners. If you earn enough, you will spend it!Never consider the feelings of the boss, no, Zhang Wei, the boss, has to recruit again.

The next day, Zhang Wei handed over a large package of elixir to Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin would take the package of elixirs to Yinshan City for trading, and then purchase the medicinal materials Zhang Wei needed.

Most importantly, Zhang Wei began to purchase Sun Moon Essence from Yinshan City.This essence of the sun and the moon is the supplementary material for refining the Qingzheng Yuan Dingshen Pill. It was refined by the monk who came out of the yin god and used the yin god to collect the energy of the sun and the moon.

This thing is very time-consuming. The first ray of purple air at dawn every day is the material for refining Nisei.The monk wants to take advantage of this time to collect innate purple energy.

On the night of the full moon every month, it is time to collect the moonlight of the full moon, which is the material for refining moonlight.

These two things are time-limited and labor-intensive, but the sun and moon essence obtained is very useful.Direct use can restore mana, and it can also be used for refining tools, alchemy, setting formations, cultivating spirit beasts, and so on.

Zhang Wei didn't have so much energy to refine this thing, so he decided to use the easiest way - buy it!

He is rich, and he can buy anything with money!

Seeing Xiao Jin fly away, Zhang Wei went to the county government office.Although the backyard of the county government office is very large, Zhang Wei still moved out.After all, I have my own house.

Riding a green horse, Zhang Wei came to the county government office.There is nothing to do today, let's deal with government affairs and resolve disputes over the inheritance of the family.

Tianmen County is like this, this place is still very peaceful.

In the afternoon, I chatted with the three sisters of the Hu family who came out to let the wind go, and began to count how many days to get married.

It's terrible to calculate, according to the demon calendar, the recent good days will be two years later... So it will take two years for Zhang Wei to get married.

In the evening, the three sisters went back.Zhang Wei also rode to get off work.As the boss of a county, he doesn't have to work overtime and gets off work on time every day.

After returning home and having dinner with Xiaoqian, Zhang Wei started alchemy.

Just practicing and practicing, he felt something was wrong.

Why hasn't my bird come back yet?
Calculating the time, Xiao Jin should have been back long ago!Even if he wasted some time playing around on the road, but it's already dark, doesn't he know how to go home?
It's a pity that Zhang Wei is not a monk who can pinch and count.

He is now like a parent who is anxious about how his child has not come home after school. He is always restless, but it is not that dangerous whim.

Desire to take soybeans to look for it, but the journey is three thousand miles... How can I find it?
Just wait.

Zhang Wei waited for one night.The next morning, Xiao Jin still didn't come back, which made him unable to calm down.

Can't wait any longer.

So Zhang Wei took soybeans and picked up the fox cart from Jinhua Niangniang Temple.

The speed of the fox cart was very fast. It turned out that Zhang Wei also had a wolf cart pulled by seven wolves, but the seven wolves were released after serving their sentences because of their good behavior.

Riding a fox cart, Zhang Wei headed towards Yinshan Mountain.

After a day and a night, the running fox cart finally arrived at Yinshan Mountain.Today, Yinshanshan City did not open, because it opened only the day before yesterday.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Wei is a distinguished guest, he can meet people from Yinshan City.

After passing the VIP token, a girl came riding a red leopard soon.The woman who rushed over was none other than Shangui Yingluo.

She rushed over in a hurry, and when she saw Zhang Wei, she asked, "Alchemist Zhang, what do you want from us?"

Zhang Wei nodded, and said seriously: "My spiritual pet, Xiao Jin, came here to trade the day before yesterday, and he hasn't gone back."

"Ah! He ran away with the money?" Yingluo's first reaction was this!
Then she looked at Zhang Wei's black hair, and she immediately said, "I'm sorry, I said something wrong."

Zhang Wei didn't know what to say, but he still said, "Xiao Jin is a golden crane, and he won't run away with money. I just want to know where he went."

Yingluo stuck out her tongue and said hastily, "I'll go ask your lord right now! Then wait a moment."

After she finished speaking, she muttered aloud and began to ask her boss.Not long after, she opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Master Zhang, your spiritual pet didn't show up the day before yesterday!"

Zhang Wei was taken aback, and said, "Impossible, I watched him set off!"

Yingluo also said seriously: "It's not wrong. Every time someone trades in your name, we will record it. This time, there is really no one from you, let alone a spiritual pet."

Zhang Wei looked at Yingluo and knew in his heart that she didn't need to lie.Yinshan Mountain City has been open for so many years and has gone through thousands of years, so it still has this reputation.

So, where did Xiao Jin go?If he hadn't come here, where else would he have gone?He will never get lost, even if he doesn't know the way to Yinshan City, he still knows the way home.

So Zhang Wei said: "My spiritual pet is gone, I need help from Yinshan City."
