() Only then did Chu Huan understand that the dwarf obviously knew that he would come to Chaowu Peak, knew that he was coming to Chaowu Peak, so he arrived one step ahead of time, took the old ghost hostage, and waited here pretending to be the old ghost.

Of course, Chu Huan was very clear about the dwarf's purpose. He was obviously waiting to learn the mantra of suppressing demons from his own mouth.

The dwarf seemed to know him very well, and he even knew that he came to look for the elder ghost for the purpose of suppressing demons. The dwarf claimed that he was with him like a shadow, but Chu Huan believed it. Then the dwarf has obviously been secretly watching his movements.

Being stared at by such a ghost-like guy, Chu Huan also felt a little hairy.

"Do you know where Gui Lao is now?" Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Where did the monster lock Gui Lao after he captured him?"

The sacrificial priest pointed at the grotto and asked, "May I go in and have a look?"

Chu Huan nodded. The sacrificer was obviously very concerned about the safety of Guilao. Chu Huan agreed, and he immediately rushed into the grotto. Soon, he heard the priest's voice say: "Here!" A person was hugged out of the grotto.

Chu Huan saw the person carried out by the sacrificer, wearing a gray cloth and coarse linen robe, his hands and feet were tied, and even his mouth was sealed. The sacrificer carried the person out and quickly untied the rope , took out the linen stuffed in the mouth, and then said nervously: "Old Ghost, are you alright?"

Gui Lao seemed to be over fifty years old, with an ordinary appearance, stood up from the ground, and said to Chu Huan, "Thank you for saving me!"

Chu Huan knew that the person in front of him was most likely the real old ghost, so he folded his palms together and said, "Don't dare, the old ghost is all right?"

Although Gui Lao had just encountered a catastrophe, he calmed down, shook his head, and asked straight to the point: "You are looking for me for the translation of Buddhist scriptures?"

Chu Huan nodded.

The elder ghost waved his hand to signal the sacrificer to back down. After the sacrificer left, the elder ghost stood face to face with Chu Huan and said, "He worked so hard for your scripture. Your Buddhist scripture must be very important."

Chu Huan sighed that the ghost old man was really smart, and he knew the cause and effect at once. Presumably, although the dwarf tied him in the grotto and sealed his mouth, he could still hear the movement and conversation outside.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Actually, I don't know whether this scripture is important or not. I don't even know the meaning of this scripture."

The old ghost shook his head and said, "You have been kind to Ghost Fang and saved me. To express my gratitude, I can help you translate the first three sentences of the scriptures, and the rest of the translation. Forgive me for being powerless!"

Chu Huan was startled, and wondered, "Why?"

"You know that man's ability better than I do." The old ghost sighed softly: "He came from the Western Regions for this scripture, and even came to Chaowu Peak. Bring disaster!"

Chu Huan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Gui Lao stared at Chu Huan, "I don't know if this scripture is important to you, but it must be important to them, and they will spare no effort to get this scripture from you. If I take this scripture I will translate all the scriptures for you, so if I also know this scripture, sometimes it is not a good thing to know too much.”

Chu Huan sighed, he had to admit that Gui Lao is indeed a very wise person.

"You are Gui Fang's benefactor, and I can't let you come here for nothing." Gui Lao said honestly, "So I can translate the first three sentences of the scriptures for you, which can be regarded as my repayment for you."

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said the first sentence of the scripture.

After hearing the first sentence, Gui Lao's eyes became strange. He looked at Chu Huan, pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you a monk?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "I'm not a monk!"

"Then what's your name?"

"Chu Huan!"

"Your name is Chu Huan?" Gui Lao looked Chu Huan up and down, as if to confirm something, "Are you sure your name is Chu Huan?"

Chu Huan nodded, Gui Lao sighed, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said apologetically, "Since that's the case, please forgive me for not being able to translate a word for you!"

Chu Huan was surprised and said, "Where did you start? Guilao, didn't you say you could help me translate three sentences?"

Gui Lao shook his head, with a look of guilt in his eyes, "I broke my promise and became fat, I'm really sorry!" He walked to the edge of the altar, picked up a stone from the ground, and actually put his right hand on the stone wall, with five fingers spread out, Chu Huan didn't know what Gui Lao wanted to do, but he saw that Gui Lao had already grabbed a stone and smashed it hard on his middle finger. He heard a click, and his middle finger was bloody and bloody.

Chu Huan was taken aback, and lost his voice, "Old Gui, you...!" Going forward, Old Gui's finger was dripping with blood, but he raised his other hand, reached out to stop Chu Huan, shook his head and said, "This is my punishment for breaking my promise!" , I can’t translate your scriptures, I’m really sorry.” He raised his hand regardless of his finger injury and said, “This place is lonely and deserted, it’s not a good place, please go back!”

Chu Huan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Gui Lao's eyes were firm, and he was obviously seeing off the guests. Chu Huan hesitated for a while, and finally bowed together and slowly withdrew.

He didn't know why Gui Lao had such a big change.

Gui Lao is feared by the people of Guifang, and his morals are highly respected. Whenever he speaks, he must be thoughtful, and he will never break his promise easily. He has already promised to translate three scriptures. According to common sense, he will never go back on his word, but even one scripture He cut off his middle finger without even translating it, which surprised Chu Huan. He really couldn't figure out what kind of scriptures, so that Gui Lao would rather cut off his finger than translate a sentence.

What the hell is this demon-suppressing mantra.

Chaowu Peak was cold and clear, and Chu Huan knew that since Gui Lao had severed his finger, he would not get anything else from Chaowu Peak, so he could only follow the stone beam back to the other side.

He Xigu and the others had been waiting here for a long time. They were all happy to see Chu Huan come back safe and sound. Of course they didn't know what happened inside the altar. After thinking about it, Chu Huan didn't tell everyone.

Except for He Xigu, no one knew that Chu Huan came to Chaowu Peak for the purpose of translating the text. Naturally, no one dared to ask why Chu Huan came here. After tidying up, they returned as a team.

He came here at midnight yesterday, but returned today, but the sun was shining, so before dusk, everyone had already returned to Yi Gusi's village.

Compared with before, the atmosphere in the village was completely different, Yi Gusi ordered the clansmen to host a banquet, and brought out all the best food and drink, and also notified the neighboring cave masters to come to the banquet as soon as possible.

Of course, He Xigu knew that the purpose of Chu Huan's trip to Daqimeng Mountain was to count household registration and give Guifang a place to settle down, so at the banquet, Guifang seemed very enthusiastic. Although Chu Huan was not bad at drinking, but During the exchange of toasts and cups, the other party toasted, but it was not easy to drink, but when the show ended, they were a little drunk.

From the next day, the officials of the Household Department began to count the household registrations. As the master of the cave, Yi Gusi naturally led the officials of the Household Department to all the households in the village, no matter how old or weak they were, they were all registered in the household register , Guifang Shiliudong, the combined population is less than 2, but the Shiliudong is also big and small. Although He Xigu is the ghost master of Guifang, his tribe can only rank third, and Yi Gu Si's clansmen are the largest, and there are more than 2000 people in his cave alone.

Chu Huan is the highest official at any time, but he is very leisurely. Because he is in Yi Gusi's stockade, the household registration work starts here. He Xigu drinks and chats with Chu Huan every day. When he is free, Chu Huan Huan naturally had to practice the "Dragon Elephant Sutra" and the Bliss Knife.

The matter of counting the household registration is not as simple as imagined. Yi Gusi's tribe is distributed all over the Bald Rock Peak, and they don't live in one place. Sometimes, after counting a village, it takes half a day to catch up. After going to another house, after two days, only half of the population was counted. Chu Huan originally thought that he would stay in Daqimeng Mountain for more than half a month, but he was talking to He Xigu about several kinds of herbs made by Guifang. , but heard someone report: "Taiyuan City sent people to visit Master Chu, saying that there is something urgent to see."

The so-called people from Taiyuan City were not actually from Taiyuan, but set out from Taiyuan, and Fang Shihao, the commander of the imperial guards, led more than 20 imperial guards to personally escort them.

The messenger came from the capital, and Chu Huan didn't know him, but the message brought by the messenger was extremely clear.

The decree ordered Chu Huan to hand over all the affairs at hand and return to the capital immediately. Apart from that, there was no other words. Chu Huan felt a little strange, wondering why the court was so eager to call him back to the capital.

It's just that he has finished all the things he should do in Anyi, and he doesn't really feel much in the mood to stay. Su Niang and others are still in the capital, and it has been more than a few months since they left the capital, and they really want to go back Beijing.

On the contrary, when He Xigu learned that Chu Huan was going to leave, he was a little reluctant. After drinking heavily, when Chu Huan left, he sent more than ten miles away, so he was reluctant to part.

Chu Huan returned to Taiyuan under the escort of Xuanyuan Shengcai and others. It seemed that Taiyuan already knew that Chu Huan was going back to the capital. Huang Tianyi and other criminals were escorted to the execution ground to have their heads beheaded, and even hung them up for public display. When Chu Huan left Taiyuan City, he saw the heads hanging high above the city gate.

Chu Huan looked at the head, but didn't know whether the end of Huang Tianyi represented peace in Anyi.

Yuan Chongshang led a group of officials and personally sent Chu Huan to Fenglindu Wharf. The boats had already been prepared here. Chu Huan went to Yunshan Mansion by water, and turned south to return to Beijing by land.

When I boarded the boat from Fenglin Ferry, I thought that I was just a downcast wanderer here more than a year ago. When I boarded the boat, I was even chased away by the boatman. Today is different from the past. The downcast wanderer a year ago is now an important minister of the court. , The fate in the world is unimaginable, but I don't know what kind of fate the next road will be.
