However, this is really Liu Ruiguang's psychological function. The fact is not so exaggerated, but he thinks so in his heart, and his fear of Liu congdie is deeper.
At daybreak, Liu congdie becomes human again under Liu Ruiguang's eyes. When she wakes up, she opens her eyes and stares at Liu Ruiguang, who is staring at the black circles under her eyes. Her eyes become more and more confused.
"You don't seem to sleep well." She said to Liu Ruiguang.
Liu Ruiguang forced out a smile: "fortunately, just woke up."
He didn't sleep all night. Who knows what he saw.
I went to the county office in a daze. Although it was not the last dynasty, the decorations here are still the same as before. They are all old-fashioned. As a county magistrate, I naturally know the past cases of this county.
After pondering over it, I remember a strange case in the early years when I was handling the case. At that time, a woman came to sue the fox spirit for colluding with her man, and said that the fox spirit was a real fox.
The county magistrate wanted to send someone to arrest the fox spirit, which he swore. But at that time, it was unreasonable in people's eyes. Especially when the fox became a strange thing among people, it seemed that the woman was unreasonable, including himself. At that time, seeing the woman's resolute expression, he thought that she was making a fuss. He was still very embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Every time a woman comes, he persuades her, saying that there is no fox in the world who has become a man.
But later the woman didn't come. It was said that Taoist Li had collected the fox essence for her.
It sounds so mysterious. Later, he thought that it was a woman singing double reed with Taoist Li. The reason for the trouble was to make Taoist Li a bit famous. Now, maybe not.
Maybe it's true.
Can Taoist li really take away the goblins?
Liu Ruiguang hesitated. It's not good to say that there's a goblin in his family. It's the county magistrate who wants to face up.
But you can find out first.
Was Taoist Li still there? It's been many years. Maybe it's not certain that he died. Liu Ruiguang checked Taoist Zha Li's home and him that day.
When I found out that he was still there, I just moved to the mountain and said that I wanted to cultivate myself. However, from the perspective of outsiders, it's rather desolate for an old man to live alone in the mountain.
In the afternoon, Liu Ruiguang went. It took him half an hour to climb up the mountain. Liu Ruiguang was exhausted and panted to the door of Taoist Li's house. When he saw the smoke around his house, he expected that he was making a fire to cook.
"Old man, are you there?" Liu Ruiguang stood outside the wall, staring at the hut inside.
After hearing this, Taoist Li came out wearing a washed white Taoist robe with a ladle in his hand, which made Liu Ruiguang sure that he was cooking.
Taoist Li was surprised to see that Liu Ruiguang himself came. After many years as the county magistrate, the world has changed. He is still the county magistrate.
"Here comes the magistrate." He came and said.
Opening the fence, he smiles at Liu Ruiguang and makes a gesture to invite him in.
Seeing that he was short of breath, his forehead was covered with sweat and his face was red, Taoist Li asked:
"the county magistrate came up to the mountain in person. I'm tired."
"Not tired, not tired."
Liu Ruiguang went into the hut, sat down, took out a handkerchief from his body, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked around the hut. There were some yellow runes pasted on the wall, and a peach sword was hanging in the most prominent place. He thought to himself that Taoist Li should still make a living.
"You know me." Liu Ruiguang held out his hand and washed it in the basin that Taoist Li had just brought. There was a new towel in it. He washed his face and said to Taoist Li.
Daoshi Li smiles. The wrinkles on both sides of his eyes are very obvious. He says: "there is only one county magistrate. Naturally, everyone remembers our parents."
Liu Ruiguang smiles and hesitates. He doesn't know how to open the topic. When Taoist Li sees that he hesitates and refuses to speak, he thinks about the stuffy food in the pot. After a long delay, it's not delicious, so he says:
"the adult looks not only tired, but also haggard, but what happened?"
"It's not a big deal." Liu Ruiguang said reluctantly.
Taoist Li said: "if it's not an unimportant matter, can the county magistrate climb such a high mountain and come to my home at sunset?"
"Well, can the fox really become a man?" Liu Ruiguang stares at Taoist Li very seriously.
Taoist Li pondered for a while and said slowly:
"the county magistrate wanted to ask, is there really mountain spirit and wild monster in the world? Or just ask about that? Is that the king woman suing the fox spirit? "
Seeing that Taoist Li was also a smart man, Liu Ruiguang said straightforwardly:
"I want to know if there is really a mountain spirit and wild monster?"
"Naturally, there are, but now there are fewer and fewer. I remember when I was a child, it was called more. There were many people hiding in the mountains." It has been more than half a century since Taoist Li thought of his childhood.
Liu Ruiguang asked implicitly:"Will they do harm?"
Taoist Li took a look at Liu Ruiguang. He had a little guess in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to prove it. He just said:
"mountain spirits and wild monsters generally don't live with people. They are afraid of being killed, and they will try to stay away from human beings. If they are close to people, they will either repay kindness or revenge, but they are animals in the end. Their wild nature is hard to change, they haven't read the books of sages, and they are even more inhumane 。”
This made Liu Ruiguang's heart tremble, mostly for revenge?
If the weasel at home really came to him for revenge, what did he do?
I don't understand, and I don't want to. Sometimes I offend someone in my life, but I don't know.
"It's just safe to hide in the mountains. If you come out to harm people, I, Li, can't let it go, my Lord. But there's something similar happening around you?" Taoist Li flashed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes. He obviously hated the mountain spirits and wild monsters, and took these things as his responsibility.
Liu Ruiguang is still hesitating to say or not. After thinking about it, he wants to ask:
"do you think I'm old?"
Taoist Li didn't know at first, but he knew why Liu Ruiguang asked this question with a little association. But he saw the county magistrate a few times, and he was not the people around him. How could he know if he was old?
But he still said:
"the county magistrate is now in his early fifties."
"What?" Liu Ruiguang was shocked. He was said to be several years older by this Taoist priest, so is he really a lot older?
It must be the wolf spirit. Liu Ruiguang gritted his teeth and felt inexplicable hatred at the bottom of his heart. He just lived together for a short time, which made him old for a few years. If he continued, he would not live for a few years.
So to be with him is to harm him. I have no good intentions. If I am good to him, how can I let him do this.
