Unexpectedly, in autumn, Tao Qinghu's thoughts were slack and his emotions were like fallen leaves on a branch. He began to secretly disobey his master's instructions, regardless of whether it was foggy or not. Almost every morning, he went to practice the Taoist's aphrodisiac in the bushes where it was difficult to practice the technique. achievement. In the early morning of that day, there was heavy fog, and his figure was almost buried in it, but he could see clearly about 10 meters around. He found a towering ancient cypress standing not far in front, with an ant's nest the size of a sea bowl hanging in its hole. It was probably this creature preparing to hibernate. He seemed to have a grudge against this thing for a lifetime, and he didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling. Encouraged, he walked over and kicked the ant nest. He saw dark ants swarming everywhere, and a few green and yellow pine needles fell from the ancient pine. Tao Qinghu seemed to be addicted to destruction. He kicked him again and rubbed the ground heavily. The poor black sesame-like ants died one layer at a time. There were a few ants with broken arms and legs, but they were probably not dead. Guoxin is still struggling to move its body. Some ants have been trampled so that half of their bodies are stuck to the soil layer of rotten leaves and debris, while the other half is still moving. As he was about to continue stamping, he suddenly heard footsteps, and then he was slapped. The left side of his face was in burning pain. Before he could recover, a male voice shouted in front of him: What did the ant do to you? Are you not afraid of retribution when you kill living beings wantonly? If a practitioner kills living beings, his practice is in vain. It turned out that Master Miaoyi had arrived. He quietly gave a command and his form immediately appeared. Tao Qinghu's face turned pale when he saw it, and he knelt down again, looked at Master Miaoyi, and said, Master, forgive me, it will not be the same for Taoist disciples.
Master Miaoyi looked around at the clouds and mist in the forest, and said angrily: I didn't tell you that there is miasma on the mountain, so you can't practice Qigong. I'm afraid you were poisoned by miasma, and the poisonous attack triggered the demonic nature, so you killed living creatures arbitrarily. You are so incompetent, I don't want to keep you, don't ruin my reputation.
After hearing this, Tao Qinghu kowtowed again and said, Master, you have to believe that Taoist disciples will correct their evil ways and return to the right path.
Who believes you? Master Miaoyi shouted: Go back to Wulong Mountain!
At this time, Tao Qinghu knelt and bumped close to Master Miaoyi, opened his hands and hugged his legs tightly, and said with sobs in his throat: Master, you have to give me a chance to repent, otherwise, I I hold you and won’t let go?
Master Miaoyi was a little moved and asked: How can I trust you?
Tao Qinghu said in a low voice: So be it. Wasn't there a jewelry theft case in Jinhao, a small town at the foot of the mountain? I went to investigate the case. If the case was solved, I would come back. If the case was not solved, I would not come to see Master.
Master Miaoyi thought about it: He couldn't even take action on this case, how could he? When Tao Qinghu saw that the master was silent, he said that he had theft experience and it must be a group of thieves. Master Miaoyi was convinced by him and immediately helped Tao Qinghu stand up, saying that if you solve this case, you will certainly be of great merit. However, there is a process for solving a case, and you'd better report the situation to me every day or often. As he spoke, he took off his invisibility suit and asked Tao Qinghu to put it on. Tao Qinghu was secretly happy but did not show it. He knelt down and said, "I will never let down Master's high expectations."
After leaving the Taoist temple, Tao Qinghu felt depressed all the way, as if he was sinking down step by step from the heights of Wudang Mountain. He walked through the last stone steps at the foot of Wudang Mountain, and in front of him was a corner of the bustling town. He suddenly thought of Feng Tou, the Feng Tou who had been gentle to him. As soon as this feeling swelled, he rationally shrank it. What he faced was how to deliver instructions to the master. A few months ago, he was responsible for the theft of gold jewelry in the small town. Now he has promised Master to catch the criminal, but where can he catch it? He was the biggest criminal lurking next to his master. The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became. As I thought about it, I actually started to hate Feng Tou. If it weren't for her, I might still remember the teacher's training and abide by the Tao rules. Forget it, everything is broken and broken. It will be defeated in the hands of a woman, but it will also be successful in the hands of a woman. He planned to steal a sum of money, find Feng Tou and elope with him.
On this day, the autumn wind and autumn rain blew, and the sound of pipa playing floated from the wooden building in the small town shrouded in mist and rain. Kuai Yi, who was sitting on the wicker chair, suddenly stood up and raised his arms to make a gesture. The music suddenly stopped. He looked at Feng Tou, the only person in the room, and said: Now that the news about the theft of the gold number has passed, you should be able to be accommodating to the thief. Accommodating.
Feng Tou felt quite embarrassed. He was still frightened when Kuai Yi spied on the rings and bracelets stolen by Tao Qinghu, and now he wanted to deal with him again. To be honest, he had a good impression of Tao Qinghu, because Tao Qinghu was devoted to her, but Kuai Yi was different. She was just one of his many playthings, and now she was being used nakedly. She could only obey what Kuai Yi said, and she stood up and promised: Today I will go up the mountain in the rain to find the thief. Kuai Yi said it was up to you, and added a stronger tone: This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Feng Tou was resentful in his heart. You Kuai Yi didn't care about her at all. You were too heartless. It's raining today, the road is slippery, and the mountain road is steep. How can a woman endure it? Feng Tou put away his pipa and went out. Facing Kuai Yi, his face was smiling, but his heart was cold.
Opening an oil-paper umbrella, rain pattered on the umbrella. Feng Tou's shirt sleeves were wetted by sporadic rainwater from time to time. She didn't notice it and felt at a loss. The road became muddy, and she stepped on it, feeling as bad as the road. At this time, she felt that the Wudang Mountains towering in the clouds were very far away. I haven't contacted that Taoist for a long time. I wonder if he still misses the old relationship. She couldn't think too much, she had to find the Taoist according to Kuai Yi's will. From here to Wudang Mountain, she had to pass through the alley of the small town. When she walked around the alley, she recalled the last time Tao Qinghu stole the watermelon while wearing an invisible suit. She was happy at first, but now she felt a sense of loss, including Tao. The rings and bracelets that Qing Hu stole as tokens were buried tightly by her, which became a taboo thought for her. She gathered up the oil-paper umbrella that rattled in the sound of rain. She walked through the hundred-meter-long street with a heavy heart. When she reached the other end, just as she was shaking out the umbrella, a familiar face came into view. The one was carrying a cloth bag. Isn't the young man in question Tao Qinghu? His hair was spread out, and he was no longer dressed like a Taoist man in a bun, but the traces of the bun still remained in the middle of his hair. Feng Tou was a careful woman, and he recognized it at a glance. She raised her voice and shouted: Master Dao——The young man turned around, smiled mysteriously at him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the raindrops gradually became thinner. Feng Tou simply closed the umbrella and peeped carefully towards the place where he disappeared, but saw nothing, so she shouted: Master Tao, please quickly give the order to show your body. I'm looking for something to do with you! There was still silence, as if Tao Qinghu had melted into the air.
Feng Tuo was so angry that she was about to curse Tao Qinghu to the sky and the earth, when she was suddenly hugged tightly around the waist. Although she could feel it, she couldn't see him. Finally the person hugging her spoke: I am Tao Qinghu, where are you going? Feng Tuo said, I want to go to your place. Now that you are here, I will not go anywhere.
Feng Tou retreated into the alley again to talk to him. Tao Qinghu appeared, holding a cloth bag in his hand. Feng Tou asked: Where did you get so many copper coins?
I just came out of the pawn shop on West Street. Tao Qinghu said. Feng Tou asked again: The gold jewelry theft case has just subsided, and you are involved in another theft incident. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?
It's already burning out. Tao Qinghu leaned close to Feng Tou's ear and whispered that he could not fulfill his promise to Master Miaoyi at all. Feng Tou was also anxious. She said that paper cannot contain the fire, and you have to find a way to earn yourself out.
At this time, a man came from the alley. Tao Qinghu immediately ordered him to disappear, but Feng Tou was still standing there. The man was so frightened that he turned around and walked away without entering the alley. He kept shouting: There is a ghost, there is a ghost.
After a while, Feng Tou and the invisible Tao Qinghu came out of the alley and came to the stream. Feng Tou also told Tao Qinghu about his situation. Tao Qinghu scolded the insidious and cunning Kuai Yi, and then said that you should dig out the ring and jade bracelet I gave you from the hiding place before making a plan.
That night, the bright moon glided in the rain and fog in the sky, vaguely like a strange bird swimming at night. Tao Qinghu got a hoe from a farmhouse in the countryside, and accompanied Feng Tou to the back of the Mulou Hotel and took out a gold ring and a jade bracelet that had been buried for a long time. The two of them came to a hotel in the north of the town. When they arrived at the hotel door, Tao Qinghu ordered to become invisible so that only Feng Tou could stay. The boss said that one person lives in a collective female dormitory. But Feng Tou wanted a single room and spent more money. The boss had a beard and looked straight at the pretty Feng Tou. He accepted a few slings of money and showed a greedy look.
Late at night, Tao Qinghu, who was sleeping and snoring after having sex, was suddenly woken up by Feng Tou. He whispered in his ears that the boss was here and was standing outside the door. He also said that the boss would suspect that there was something hidden in the room when he heard such loud snoring. Tao Qinghu asked the man to quickly put on his invisibility suit, and Tao Qinghu immediately complied.
When Feng Tou saw that everything was in order, he walked to the door and said to Luo Xi: There is no one else here at all. You come in and take a look, then you have to go out. Don't have any wrong thoughts. The bearded man said yes outside the door.
Feng Tou put on his clothes and got up and opened the door. When he saw that no one was inside, he said: Female guest, you are so beautiful. If you are willing, I will not only refund the rent to you, but also give you a few coins. Feng Tou was just about to find a word to retort when a male voice beside the door said: You pervert, why don't you get out of here! When the bearded man saw that there was no one in the room, he was very frightened. He turned around and ran away, shouting in panic: There is a ghost, there is a ghost...
People in the rooms next door and nearby also heard the sound and came in droves to ask what was haunted. The bearded man pointed at Feng Tou's guest room and said: There is a ghost in there.
nonsense! Feng Tou stared at the beard and asked: Where is the ghost? Don't bother me sleeping. When all the guests saw Feng Tou's beauty, they seemed to understand something and dispersed one by one. The bearded man murmured in his heart: There is obviously a man scolding me, why do I only see a female guest now? He lit the candle, crouched down and looked at the empty corners under the bed, and then walked away asking for trouble.
Feng Tou closed the door, and Tao Qinghu gave an order and appeared again. He whispered, "It's dangerous. The bearded man is a pervert. If I weren't here, you might give in."
Feng Tou was not interested in this topic, so he avoided it and said: It is not a long-term solution to continue like this. You have to find a way to get us out of this situation.
My only way is to elope with you.
Where to escape?
To escape far away, it is best to go to Tibet or Xinjiang.
They were discussing, and Feng Tou asked him how much money he got. He gave the number, and it was only a thousand coins, but Feng Tou said it was not enough. Tao Qinghu said that I was wearing an invisibility suit and could steal it along the way. Feng Tou thought carefully and said that if we escape, a crime will be committed. The government and the arrest will trace the picture and post it in public places. It will not be convenient to show up at that time, and it will not be a good time to cause trouble. It will be easy to find, and it will create trouble for us to escape. Many unimaginable obstacles. Tao Qinghu praised Feng Tou for having the mind of a military strategist, and agreed with her on the next theft plan.
The next day, a big man, the security guard, stood on both sides of the door of the pawn shop on West Street. They were holding wooden sticks and blocking the door crosswise. Except for customers who had business with the pawn shop, they could enter and exit with courtesy. , general idlers are not allowed to enter.
At this moment, the invisible Tao Qinghu came over. Last time, he did not see two men standing at the door. This obviously showed that the pawn shop where the crime had been committed was on guard. Tao Qinghu originally didn't want to patronize this place anymore, but after traveling around the town for most of the time, all the stores were either heavily guarded and difficult to attack, or there were no coins stored in the cash cabinets. He had to wait until the afternoon, when there was more business and more money was collected. patronize. Tao Qinghu made sure that there was no one in front of the counter, and quietly leaned over. Inside the counter, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was opening a drawer, which was filled with coils of copper coins. He was counting them, and his lips were still moving, as if he was worried. As if someone was robbing him, he closed the drawer's opening in a moment and pressed it with his chest. Then a customer came. He completed a pawn transaction quickly and accurately. While he was fiddling with the coins, he looked around. Even the employees in the shop refused to let him get close, so he pulled away. The drawer, with his two elbows still hugging the edge of the drawer, was like a safety barrier against sneak attacks. The gold-rimmed glasses made a few businesses in this way.
Gradually noon came, and the gold-rimmed glasses looked around again with vigilance and slyness, then opened the drawer, took out a leather bag from the bottom of the cabinet and put the copper coins in it, then tightened the bag's heavy mouth, and walked through the pile of pawn items. In the middle hall, I went to the back, opened the iron door of a dark room, put a bag full of copper coins into an iron cabinet, and then locked it with a big iron lock.
Taking advantage of the shift change between the two grown men at the door, the invisible Tao Qinghu slipped into the pawn shop and was sneaking into the central hall when his gold-rimmed glasses came out of the darkroom and were locked. He turned around and slipped out with some frustration. Feng Tou was walking on the street. They were waiting for him at a hotel in the city to greet him on his triumphant return, but this morning Tao Qinghu returned home empty-handed. Feng Tou said not to rush, but only by doing this "business" properly can we move safely. Tao Qinghu showed his body with a gloomy face. He picked up the wine glass and poured the wine. He drank a few sips and then whispered: There may be tens of thousands of copper coins hidden in a dark room in the pawn shop on West Street. If you can get one or two of them, , we eloped all the way to the Western Regions without worrying about expenses. Feng Tou watched him take a sip of wine and said confidently: I believe you will have a way to get it. No one in the world has obtained this invisibility cloak yet.
While they were drinking, they imagined the wonderful prospect of Yanshuo going to the Western Regions to join forces. Gradually, they became sleepy and asked the store owner to open a room and sleep together. In his dream, Tao Qinghu vaguely felt that his invisibility suit had been bitten by a white rat, but he didn't care. At about noon, Feng Tou woke him up and said: This is a good time for doing business, don't delay, hurry up stand up.
Tao Qinghu rubbed his sleepy eyes away, got up quickly, put on his invisibility suit, and disappeared in the next order. However, Feng Tou noticed that a piece of cloth was quietly shaking when Tao Qinghu moved, and asked what was going on. Tao Qinghu discovered that this The invisibility suit was bitten by a mouse, so I couldn't say no, I had to sew it up. If I didn't elope and Master Miaoyi found out, I wouldn't be able to bear it.
It's fine. Feng Tou said I will find a way to get it done, you wait here. Feng Tuo went out for a while and came back again. She got needle and thread and carefully sewed up the leaks in the invisibility suit. In order to cover people's eyes, she used green thread.
Tao Qinghu once again put on the invisibility suit and went out. He came to the pawn shop hall on West Street where he thought it was the most worthwhile business. The two big men still blocked the entrance with wooden sticks crossed. When a customer came in to make a deal, he also sneaked in. He didn't linger in the business hall, not wanting to waste his energy getting some small money under his gold-rimmed glasses and cause trouble. He wanted to go inside to get a big sum of money for the last time, so he passed through the central hall and waited at the door of the darkroom with a big lock hanging on it. He knew that when the gold-rimmed glasses were not over, he would open the door and go in to store a large amount of money. . After waiting for a cup of tea, he suddenly thought that he should find an exit from the back, so he walked around to the side of the nave and found that there was an unbuckled door. He looked through the crack in the door and saw a vegetable patch outside, surrounded by a large piece of cloth. A field full of rice stubble. He thought it would be safest to escape from here.
At noon of the same day, Master Miaoyi suddenly fell asleep and went to sleep in a side room in the Taoist temple. In his confusion, he saw an old man with white beard asking for the hidden cloak. There was a theft case of gold jewelry. Taoist disciple Tao Qinghu asked me for orders and went to investigate the case while wearing that invisible treasure. When he returns, he will definitely return it to his master.
The old man frowned and said: Your Taoist disciple Tao Qinghu has not got rid of his bad habits and has absorbed poisonous miasma. His heart has become evil and he does evil things. This time he pretended to wear the precious clothes and went down the mountain to steal. I am afraid he will never come back again. .
so what should I do now?
I'm going to take him back, and take back the invisible cloak as well.
While he was discussing with Master Miaoyi, he suddenly transformed and turned into a white mouse that shocked Master Miaoyi.
Master Miaoyi woke up with cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know whether what the old man he saw in his dream was true or not. He was confused and frowned with worry. He immediately asked the Taoist priest to go down the mountain to look for Tao Qinghu.
When the lights were on, Tao Qinghu was still waiting at the door of the darkroom. He held a bag of coins in his hand through gold-rimmed glasses, walked through the hall and took out the key to open the darkroom door, and Tao Qinghu also "floated" in.
