The words are divided into two ends.

On the Chongyang day, Wu Qi ordered him to follow the Lingxian King Temple to Shu County, searching for traces of ghosts everywhere.

Xu Shujing was not idle either. The incense burner demon said it was extremely credible, but Sun Xiaowen's confession also has certain reference value.

He still found the tattooed man.

This person is named Deng Xiaoyi. He was originally in the opera troupe and practiced a lot of kung fu since he was a child. Later, the opera troupe was disbanded, and he performed his skills with his three or five friends to make a living. After a few years, he broke up again and went to Shu County in circles and had no fixed livelihood.

Deng Xiaoyi is thirty-five years old, and he has no wife or relatives. He has no hobbies except for drinking, and his neighbors say he is normal.

"Sir, I don't know what happened?" Deng Xiaoyi forced a smile.

He looked a little depressed, with a long face, a narrow nose, thin lips, thin eyes, a gourd on his right arm, but a bald, squinted old man's head grew on the gourd.

"I ask you, why are you wandering in Lingxian King Temple?"

Xu Shujing was stern and majestic when investigating the case, and every word was sonorous and powerful. In line with his sharp eyes, he was wearing an official uniform, which was particularly intimidating.

Deng Xiaoyi defended: "The young man was blowing and sunbathing outside the temple, and there was nothing to do on weekdays."

“Nothing to do?”

Uncle Xu looked at him coldly: "Then tell me, how did your house in the west of the city come from?"

He took a piece of bamboo paper from the officials beside him and slapped the table.

Write from right to left on the paper from top to bottom:

"The king of the founder will voluntarily sell a house in Milaifang, Xicheng City, Shu County to Deng Xiaoyi."

...

"House price 22 trump card"

The "Shu County Judicial Order" is stamped below.

"How can you buy a house worth twenty cents??"

Xu Shujing slapped the table and said angrily: "How can you get the money you have when you buy a house?"

Wu Qi, who was watching, thought that the government is an official, and as long as he still lives in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to avoid its supervision.

Take this house deed as an example. The buyer and seller can choose private deeds and official deeds.

Private contract means that the buyer and seller have agreed to a transaction privately, and the tooth is required to testify and the neighbors are guaranteed, and each should print or press a fingerprint. However, if these people cannot be found in the future, the title deed will be invalid and difficult to transfer or use as a certificate.

The better thing about the official contract is that the local government has a conclusive stamp, and the signature certificate of the main official and the official is in triplicate, one copy for each buyer and seller, and one copy for each of the buyer and seller, and one copy for each of the buyer and seller. If the buyer and seller lose or have a dispute, the official contract will be kept by the official.

Whether it is convenient for transactions or safe preservation, official deeds are obviously better than private deeds. Therefore, except for some special transactions, most of the deeds are official deeds.

The official deed belongs to the judicial military management of one of the seven military officials, and the judicial military seal must be stamped.

Fan Gang, the judicial officer of Shu County, happened to be the immediate boss of Xu Shujing, the military officer of the Justice.

Xu Shujing directly checked the dealer's surname and found Deng Xiaoyi's deed three months ago, and directly exclaimed his face.

“…”

Deng Xiaoyi was speechless for a moment: "This...is a long story, but the young man did not commit crimes. The money was given to me by someone else."

"You have no relatives and no reason in Shu County. I want to know who will give you twenty coins of money." Xu Shujing said coldly.

"Mr. Xu, can I ask if I can?"

When Xu Shujing saw Wu Qi speaking, he immediately said, "Master, please ask."

He said to Deng Xiaoyi: "This is Taoist Master Wu Qi from Fuyun Temple. He came here specifically to send demons. Taoist Master asked, you answer truthfully."

Wu Qi glanced at Deng Xiaoyi's tattoo on his arm: "Is this Mr. Deng's arm Guo Gong?"

He read books and remembered that Guo Gong was a character in a puppet show. He usually looked bald and squinted, smiling without saying a word, and being the leader of the funny actors.

"The Taoist priest understands tattoos?" Deng Xiaoyi was slightly surprised.

Wu Qi smiled: "I know a little bit, an elder also has a tattoo."

He is not a condom.

There was indeed a tattoo in Fuyun Temple, and it was a five-clawed black dragon.

When Wu Qi was a child, he bathed in the waterfalls in the mountains with his grandfather Wu Daoji and Elder Yan. At that time, Elder Yan showed his upper body, and a ferocious five-clawed black dragon entrenched his right chest, all the way to his right forearm, which was quite impressive.

At that time, Wu Qi was curious about why Elder Yan had dragons but grandpa didn’t.

Elder Yan just smiled and wiped his body with a towel, saying it was just a tattoo. When he was young, he was ignorant and had a good look, but he couldn't wipe it off.

This passage made Wu Qi remember clearly.

Later, when he looked through the books of Fuyun, he also had some understanding of tattoos.

Tattoo originates from tattooing.

The tattoo is to carve the knife into the bones of the prisoner's face and dye it with ink to show punishment.

The tattoo is not bone-knitted, it only stabs the epidermis, and is also called a little green, which is favored by evil people in the streets. The tattoo face is difficult to recover in a lifetime, but the tattoo can be washed away by acupuncture.

Wu Qi was puzzled when he was young. Why did Elder Yan say that his tattoo was difficult to erase? Could it be a tattoo?

This question was not asked after all.

"It's true as the Taoist priest said."

Deng Xiaoyi lifted up his sleeves and exposed his arms: "The old man on the gourd is Mr. Guo, and the young one was stabbed in Chang'an. At that time, as a tutor, he was inevitably involved in dealing with hooligans and thugs, and it was more convenient to have tattoos."

"I see."

Wu Qi's eyes slowly moved down: "Can Mr. Deng say that why you have no shadow?"

Xu Shujing also looked at the ground and found that the shadow under Deng Xiaoyi's feet only reached the collar, and there was no head above the collar.

Previously, Deng Xiaoyi wore a wide round necklace and a hat on his head. He couldn't see it in the sun. He took off his hat, but the shadow inside disappeared.

"This matter has something to do with the person who sent me the house."

Deng Xiaoyi scratched his head and talked about his own experience.

...

At the age of thirty, Deng Xiaoyi came to Shu County all the way.

He could not afford to rent a house in Shu County, but he was unwilling to crowd in the public temple with dozens of beggars and patients.

The so-called Gong Temple is a temporary residence set up by the Tang Dynasty government in various counties to provide temporary residences for some homeless people and refugees. There is almost no charge, but it is inevitable that it will be dirty, messy, foul smell.

Deng Xiaoyi rented a small house in the hunter's office outside the county, went to Shu County to find work during the day, and came back to rest at night.

He often sat at the candle, staring at the fire in a daze.

Especially at night, everything is silent and people are particularly lonely.

Deng Xiaoyi was really depressed and could only chat with him for fun.

He looked at the shadow on his wall: "Shadow, shadow, we have been together for so many years, won't you talk to me?"

Unexpectedly, Shadow really responded and said, "Since that's the case, I dare not obey."

Not only was Deng Xiaoyi not afraid, but was very happy. Finally, someone could talk to him at night.

After spending many years together, Shadow knows Deng Xiaoyi very well. Every person is a shadow. No matter whether you chat or joke, you will have a tacit understanding, as if you are brothers.

However, it is still a bit weird when talking about movies, and Deng Xiaoyi cannot help but regret it.

The shadow immediately understood what Deng Xiaoyi meant and transformed himself into a handsome boy in black.

The two talked at night with candles and said nothing.

A few days later, the shadow turned into a graceful girl in black. Deng Xiaoyi was very happy. The two of them fell in love with each other and began to do a husband and wife matters, singing happily every night.

Each person and one shadow, they talk and have fun, and they also share a bed and sleep together. They are brothers during the day and husband and wife at night.

Later, Deng Xiaoyi also took the shadow girl out during the day. However, in order to avoid being discovered by someone, he wore a wide dress and a thick dress, a hat and a hat to cover up.

The shadow can change rapidly, and it turns into various dignitaries, celebrities, noble ladies, monks, Taoists, nuns and scholars every day, which also makes Deng Xiaoyi sink into it and can't extricate himself.

Gradually, Deng Xiaoyi found that the shadow began to go out alone during the day.

He was very worried.

I was worried that the shadow would be discovered, after all, Jianyouwei and the monks of the three religions were both in Shu County.

I was also worried that the shadow would be kidnapped by others, so that I would not only lose my brothers or my wife.

Shadow insisted on going out so that he didn't have to worry.

The good times did not last long. When the summer came, Shadow told Deng Xiaoyi that it would go to the Netherworld Cave Heaven to practice magic to ascend to the path of immortality. He came here to say goodbye. If they were destined to each other, they would become husband and wife and brothers in the future.

Deng Xiaoyi was worried and forced to do it, crying and begging, but the shadow was still unmoved.

Before leaving, Shadow gave him a sum of money and asked Deng Xiaoyi to buy a house in Shu County. He stayed for a year before moving in, and lived a good life from now on and stopped thinking about it.

After saying that, the shadow rose up on the wind and returned to silence.
