Chapter 38 Strange Talk

The wine is really good wine, rich and fragrant, tangy and intoxicating.

Wang Guan picked up his wine glass, glanced at the silent Daxiong Palace, and said loudly: "I heard a joke in Nanjing City. There was a son of a landlord who was illiterate. Others persuaded the rich man to hire a teacher to teach him. The teacher taught the word "one" first. It is one painting, the word "two" is two paintings, and the character "three" is three paintings. Then the stupid son of the landlord's family proudly threw away the pen and told the rich man that he already knew the meaning of the words and did not need a teacher. The rich man was very happy to hear that, So he resigned as a teacher. One day, the rich man wanted to invite a friend with the surname Wan to drink, and asked his son to get up in the morning to write an invitation card, but it was not completed by noon, so he went to his son to ask. His son complained: "The last name in the world There are so many, why is the guest named Wan? I have only written more than 500 paintings since morning!"

Hearing this boring joke, the group of monsters looked at each other, speechless, and after two or three seconds, they laughed out loud in unison.

Embarrassed yet polite laughter filled the entire hall, the Taoist crown joyfully held up the wine glass, and said to the guests: "Drink with you all!"

"Drink together!"

The demons raised their wine glasses with playful smiles and drank them all in one gulp.

The members of the mission team, seeing the spirits of the group of monsters pouring into their throats, also raised their glasses and pretended to drink.

The wine infused with spiritual energy is really extraordinary. After drinking a glass of wine, any monsters will be flushed and confused. The group of monsters tell old-fashioned jokes one by one, making other ghosts laugh out loud.

The ghost, who has no jokes to tell, also told the story of the recent cannibalism, when, where, and what kind of person.

"I robbed a group of merchants in the mountains the day before yesterday. The best food in it was a fat man, and the best food in him was liver, which was oily, greasy, and smooth."

"Wrong, the best food for fat people is the brain and intestines. The brains are full of fat."

"I think skinny ones are more chewy and chewy."

"Tsk tsk, I really want to eat two more virgins..."

The drunk demon completely tore off the disguise of being harmless to humans and animals, and talked about the experience of eating.

Everyone in the task team sitting in a small corner looked gloomy and uncertain. In the eyes of the demons, they were evil cultivators who had returned to the Central Plains from overseas.

As long as they dare to show the slightest bit of righteous indignation, they will be attacked by a group of monsters immediately, besieged and killed.

Forbearance.

The mandrill Taoist on the first seat looked around the Daxiong Palace and said with a smile: "The banquet is a good banquet, and the wine is good wine. How can there be no good meat?"

With a wave of his hand, the ghost in white flew back to the sedan chair lightly, and a beautiful woman in a long red dress with a puffed belly came out from inside.

The woman had been in a coma, and was carried to the hall. Aroused by the evil spirit, she woke up immediately, looking around and seeing all the hideous and terrifying monsters and ghosts, she screamed and almost fainted.

Hahahaha, the group of demons laughed wantonly when they saw the terrified condition of the pregnant woman. The insolent laughter seemed to tear down the entire Great Hall.

"Don't be afraid, Hong Niang, come to my husband."

Taoist Wang Guan, who was on the first seat, waved his hand and said kindly to the woman.

"Husband, save me!" The woman saw the crown, and ran to the crown in a panic as if grabbing a life-saving straw, hiding behind him, "This is..."

"This is the Lonely Cold Temple, and this is the Temple of Demons." Wang Guan stroked the pregnant woman's hair with his skinny palm, and said softly, "Matchmaker, how long have you been with me?"

"Three, three years." The matchmaker said with trembling teeth, "It has been three years since my husband redeemed me from Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."

"Three years."

Wang Guan felt emotional, and reached out to touch the matchmaker's big belly: "You can be considered pregnant."

The matchmaker seemed to realize something, covered her stomach, and said with a pale face: "Husband, husband?"

"Everyone says sour and spicy, matchmaker, do you like sour or spicy food recently?"

"....acid"

"Is that the son?"

Wang Guan stroked his palms and said to the demons: "It's good to have a son. Having a son is more fleshy than giving birth to a daughter."

?

The ghosts were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and laughed wantonly.

"Yes, yes, Daoist Wang Guan is right. This baby boy has more flesh than the baby girl."

The flattery of the demon sounded like a whisper from hell to the matchmaker, and she trembled all over, not daring to move at all.

"Matchmaker, have you always been weird?"

The more fearful the woman was, the softer Wang Guan's voice became, "My family is not well-known, the business of the store under my name is not good, and I'm not even interested in buying arable land. Tell me, how did I end up in such a short period of time?" Within a few years, accumulated a fortune of tens of thousands?"

"...My husband, my husband can refine medicine."

"That's right, alchemy. Then what kind of alchemy did I refine?"

"I do not know I do not know....."

"No, you know." Wang Guan smiled and said, "You know what pill I made, that's why you insist on living in the small courtyard in the southern suburbs, and refuse to live in the palace."

"...." The matchmaker kept her face pale and said nothing.

"Stupid woman, pitiful, sad, sad." Wang Guan smiled and stroked the matchmaker's belly, "Recently, you are not keeping a promise for the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who lost his mother Ding You and came back three years later, Wang Yuwang kept a promise to collect money secretly. Evidence, want to report me, put me in a dungeon, and rescue your sister from the palace?"

The matchmaker's face was pale, she was shaking like chaff, and her teeth were trembling uncontrollably.

In the Daxiong Palace, the group of demons whispered. For these ghosts, what is the servant of the Ministry of punishment, what is the king's covenant, are all trivial things in the world of mortals. They don't understand, and they don't want to understand what all this has to do with today's banquet relation.

"So, that's the case."

Li Ang sighed leisurely, turned around and said softly to his teammates: "In the thirteenth year of Jiajing, Guhan Temple, the crown, and Nanjing City...I understand too late."

Xing Hechou lowered his voice and said hastily, "What do you understand?"

"From the very beginning, the system has been secretly reminding us of everything behind this mission. All the clues are in front of us, but we haven't found them."

Li Ang smiled wryly, and hammered his head with his knuckles, "Have you ever read a biography of Ming Dynasty figures compiled by the Hanlin Academy in the middle of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, "Guo Chao" Contribution Record ""

? ? ?

What's that? Can I eat it?

""Guochao Xianzhenglu" collected original historical materials such as training records, local chronicles, unofficial histories, and Shinto steles from Hongwu to Jiajing Twelve Dynasties. The content is detailed and highly credible, and it is the same reliable history as "History of Ming Dynasty."

Li Ang explained with extremely fast speech: "And in such a letter history, there is a shocking and sensational strange story."
