Gu Zuo turned over the palm-sized ticket in his hand and looked at it, and saw a few lines written on it: Approved by the Judicial Department of Kuaiji County, it is allowed to catch monsters and help the people. It cannot interfere with the Taoist priests' practice of law. They need to listen to the execution of the execution chambers in each county. Violators will be severely punished.

punishment.

There is nothing wrong with the card ticket itself, but Gu Zuo knows that this thing cannot withstand strict inspection because it is not registered with the Kuaiji County Justice Department. Although the Shanyin County Prison Chamber is registered, it is on the supplementary book and the main book.

It doesn't exist. When you are checked by the superior, show the main book. When you have it in your own hands, look at the supplementary book. To put it bluntly, this ticket is illegal.

If you want to be on the official register, you need the approval of the county judicial department, and you have to pay regular taxes every month. If you are only on the supplementary register, the money will be divided privately by a series of people below. But Gu Zuo still has to thank these guys,

Without them, Gu Zuo wouldn't even have a way to eat.

He has suffered from being homeless for half a year and begging on the streets. It is better to have a "home" in Shanyin County than before. Otherwise, he would not be able to fish in Ruoye River. It is the official property of the county!

The name of the museum written on the front of the sign is "Huaixian Pavilion". I don't know who named it. It is much more vulgar than "Hengyi Pavilion". Half a month later, Gu Zuo needs to put up a plaque and hang it up again.

The Taoist temple was opened, but he didn't have the 100 cents to make a plaque.

Gu Zuo has been thinking about whether to run away. He has not entered the spiritual practice and does not know magic. Wang Taoist Master has never taught him how to teach disciples to starve to death. This kind of thing happens a lot, and he understands it very well. What's more, he is just being taught by Wang Taoist Master.

Those who are brought back to serve as a mere facade cannot be said to be masters and disciples.

Whether he should run away or not was a big deal. He had been thinking about it all morning without even a clue. He wanted to break it off with his fingers and crush it into pieces, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

While he was thinking hard, he saw a little book boy wearing a green soft hat running out of the yard. He pushed open the firewood door and came in. He panted and asked, "Where is Taoist Wang?"

Gu Zuo blinked and did not dare to answer. The book boy said: "Invite Taoist Master Wang quickly, our young master is getting angry!"

When Gu Zuo heard this, he didn't dare to continue. He didn't know how to treat people and prescribe medicine. He just said, "Why don't you ask Dr. Lou in the city?"

The young man said: "What is it, Doctor Lou? Our young master has lost something. Let's ask Mr. Wang to help find it."

As he said that, he suddenly looked up and saw that the plaque originally hanging on the lintel of the main room was gone, and he immediately asked: "What's going on?"

Then he saw the Huaixian Pavilion ticket in Gu Zuo's hand. He went over to look at it and then suddenly realized: "Hey, the name of the pavilion has been changed? Congratulations then. Let's go!"

Gu Zuo said "Ah" and said with difficulty: "You are"

The book boy said: "I am He Zhu, the young master's book boy! Didn't you come to our old house of the He family five months ago? Did you forget? With your master!"

Gu Zuolian said he was ashamed: "I'm a little face blind, I'm so sorry."

The book boy said: "Let's go, don't waste time!"

Gu Zuodao: "Master Wang went out to catch monsters and hasn't come back yet."

The book boy grabbed Gu Zuo and pulled him out: "It's the same for you. It's not a difficult task. You'll know when you get there. With the skills of your master and apprentice, you can easily catch him!"

"I'm just Wang Daozhang's boy"

"They're all the same! The black-backed general that Taoist Wang found for our young master last time was very good. You masters and disciples are good at finding things and chasing them. It's really not just a lie!"

Gu Zuo didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Hearing that he was looking for lost property, he no longer resisted, so he hesitated and was pulled down Xiaogushan by He Zhu.

There was a bamboo raft on the Ruoye River. The old man who was holding the pole waited for Gu Zuo and He Zhu to get on the raft. He immediately left the stream bank and went straight down the river. After driving out of the Xiaogushan area, the gentle hills on both sides rolled up and down, and the green trees shaded the looming mountains. In the countryside, farmers are plowing the fields, and the paddy fields are full of rice seedlings.

After a while, the bamboo rafts entered the Xijiang River, and there were several awning boats on the river.

The boy suddenly said: "Old fisherman, do you have any interesting stories these days?"

The pole holder blinked and said loudly: "Congratulations to the secret supervisor on his honorable return to his hometown. This is a great event in Shanyin! He even wrote a poem, which was widely sung in the countryside."

The sound of the voice spread throughout the entire river. Gu Zuo was unprepared and was immediately startled.

The boy asked with a smile: "You can also sing poetry?"

The man holding the pole said: "The poem is well written, I will sing it to you right away! The young man has left home and returned home, but the local pronunciation has not changed and the hair on the temples has faded."

The singing is distant and drifting on the Xijiang River. It has a sad meaning, but it is full of free and easy spirit. In several awning boats, some people poked their heads out and looked at the bamboo rafts.

After the pole-sitter finished singing, the book boy glanced at the passengers in the awning boats, clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful!" He threw a copper coin casually, and the pole-sitter took it and asked with a smile: "Why don't you return it?" Do you want to sing?"

The book boy waved his hand: "That's enough for today."

The old house of the He family is not far from Xiaogushan. Not long after the wooden raft slid up the Xijiang River, it turned into a waterway and there was a magnificent manor on the bank.

After paying the boatman, Gu Zuo followed the book boy into the old house. Inside, there were pavilions, pavilions, willow pavilions and ponds, all overlapping at random. He walked along the corridor several times before arriving at an inner courtyard.

The last time Gu Zuo came to the He family's old house was more than five months ago. At that time, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't remember the way. This was the second time, and he was still in a mess.

On the way, he asked the book boy what the young master of the He family had lost, but the book boy didn't tell him and just let him go.

Young Master He's name is Fu. It is said that this name was given by His Majesty. This shows how much Master He and his father, Secretary He, are trusted by His Majesty.

Secret Inspector He had a son in his later years, so He Fu was not old, that is, he was in his twenties, but his words were a bit old-fashioned and condescending. Perhaps it was because he grew up in Chang'an, and he was attracted to him. It is said that there are only two places in this world: Chang'an and outside Chang'an.

The bookboy He Zhu said, "The young master is anxious and angry," but Gu Zuo did not notice this. Instead, He Fu asked about the gossip in a leisurely manner:

"Are you the disciple of Taoist Wang?"

Gu Zuo had no choice but to explain again: "I am Taoist Priest Wang's boy. I am not a Taoist priest. I told Taoist Priest Wang last time when I came here."

He Fu clapped his hands and laughed: "You are a little older, haha!"

Gu Zuo: "..."

"No need to be ashamed, it's all the same." He Fu waved his hand: "Did you come with your master last time? Why don't I remember you?"

Gu Zuo pointed to the cricket jar in He Fu's hand: "I was giving you a gift, and I was standing by."

"Really? Okay, let's get down to business, Zhuzi, tell him." After saying that, he gently shook the cricket jar, looked at the new insects inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

The book boy turned around and went to the pavilion next to him. He held a large and exquisite bamboo cage under the pillars, with a small civet cat in it, and said: "When the master retired and returned to his hometown, the empress gave our young master a pair of civet cats. The young master and his friend five days ago I was out on an outing and took it with me when I accidentally ran away with one, which is exactly the same as this one. Do you think you can find it?"

Gu Zuo looked at the little civet cat carefully and asked roughly about the markings on the missing one. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This was not the one he picked up a few days ago. It would have been easier if it was, so he had to say: "Dare you Where did it go missing?"

"Kuiji Shanxi Ridge."

He Fu added: "You can't talk about this matter, do you understand? Since Wang Daozhang sent you here, it means that you have this ability. I don't care what Taoist skills you use, in short, help me find it. After the matter is completed, There will be a big reward. I’ll give you three days, let’s get started!”

The boy He Zhu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the stone table in the courtyard. This was for Gu Zuo to use for his calculations.

He Fu was playing with the cat and bugs next to him, and the book boy was waiting on the pen and ink. With the ink and inkstone ready, Gu Zuo forced himself to pick up the pen, hesitated for a long time on the paper, and wrote four words according to the direction: "North" up, "South" down. , left "west", right "east".

After that, there are the heavenly stems and earthly branches, each corresponding to its position according to the direction and number, and then...
Chapter completed!
