Chapter 450 What's wrong? Are you trying to steal my thunder?
"What's wrong?" Qian asked, looking at Village Chief Jin with a puzzled expression.
Village Chief Jin didn't have time to explain, he only said, "Take them away quickly, and don't linger..."
“My daughter has woken up. She was completely controlled by the female demon. If she goes berserk, even I can’t do anything about it.” Village Chief Jin’s eyes were filled with pain.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian was slightly taken aback. She hugged Xiao Su Bao tightly and turned to leave.
The little dumpling said, "My master is super powerful, he can definitely save people!"
Wang Mingtian lurking in the shadows!
He suddenly realized that becoming a master wasn't necessarily a must!
Listen to what your apprentice is saying!
"Master~" the little girl's sweet, childlike voice rang out.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.
Wang Mingtian glanced at Xiao Subao, then at the others.
Finally, he said, "Okay, I'll do it!"
The little dumpling immediately clapped its hands at its master and exclaimed, "Master is so amazing!"
Wang Mingtian...
Madam Qian glanced at Xiao Su Bao with surprise. For some reason, she felt that something seemed off about Xiao Su Bao at that moment!
As she was wondering, she felt the ground shaking louder and louder.
Immediately afterwards, the enormous figure appeared before everyone.
At this moment, Jin Ruhua's eyes were red, and her muscles were bulging, as if she was about to go berserk at any moment!
The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.
Ling Buqi and Xiao Mobao instinctively stood in front of Qian Shi and Xiao Su Bao.
Tang Bugui's brows furrowed as well.
"Or should I do it?"
Tang Bugui looked at Wang Mingtian with a question in his eyes.
"No need. My apprentice already said I'm very capable. What, are you trying to steal my thunder?"
Wang Mingtian made a hand seal with both hands, and then took a step forward.
Where is my groom?!
Jin Ruhua's voice was slow, yet it had an indescribable quality.
"Ru Hua, wake up!"
Village Chief Jin hurriedly shouted, trying to go over, but Wang Mingtian directly rebuked him: "Don't move, unless you want your daughter to die!"
As soon as Wang Mingtian finished speaking, Village Chief Jin took several steps back, looking at his daughter with heartache.
"Ruhua's father only has you as his daughter, so you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you!"
Village Chief Jin looked worried.
Just then, a voice rang out: "Jin Ruhua!"
Wang Mingtian shouted loudly, then stomped his foot hard on the ground and shot away like an arrow.
He was holding a talisman in his hand.
Jin Ruhua glanced at Wang Mingtian indifferently.
This old man isn't good-looking; she wants to find the most handsome groom of her own!
"Wow, you're so beautiful! You're mine now!"
When Jin Ruyi's bloodshot eyes saw Tang Bugui, she instantly seemed to be injected with adrenaline.
Tang Bugui's eyes were cold, and the long sword in his hand was itching to be used.
Jin Ruyi seemed to sense danger, and she turned her gaze back to Ling Buqi.
"You're not bad either!" he said, and then walked towards Ling Buqi.
In that instant, Wang Mingtian was already close to her face.
Jin Ruyi raised her hand to slap Wang Mingtian away, but Wang Mingtian would not give her that chance.
At the critical moment, Wang Mingtian seemed to have gone mad, taking out a bag of white powder from his pocket and throwing it over.
Qian's lips twitched...
She felt that something was off about the scene!
Before Jin Ruhua could react, she felt a little dizzy!
Before I could even take two steps, my body was already starting to give out.
"Bang!"
She collapsed to the ground shortly after regaining consciousness, her deafening snoring echoing through the air.
Village Chief Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that his daughter was alright, he gave Wang Mingtian a resentful look.
"There are still remnants of a magic formation in this village..."
Wang Mingtian muttered to himself.
Suddenly he saw Bai Yinjun, and regardless of whether the kid wanted to or not, he grabbed him and left.
"Old man, what are you doing? Don't think I won't punish you just because you're Little Su Bao's master! Let go of me!" Bai Yinjun yelled.
That old man is no good!
However, Wang Mingtian completely ignored this guy and simply grabbed him and ran away.
Tang Bugui watched their departing figures with a smile in his eyes.
He picked up the little baby.
"How are you? Were you scared?" Tang Bugui asked in a low voice, looking at the little bundle of flesh in his arms.
Little Su Bao looked at her father's face and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly, as if he had sensed something.
"you……"
Tang Bugui lowered his head and met the pitiful eyes of the little dumpling. The strange feeling in his heart disappeared instantly.
"What's wrong, Father?"
The little dumpling asked softly, seemingly a little scared.
Tang Bugui withdrew his gaze, a strange look in his eyes.
His daughter seemed a bit off; just a moment ago, he even felt that her personality had changed.
Could it be that the female demon left something on the little dumpling?
Upon realizing this, Tang Bugui, who had been relatively calm, suddenly changed his expression and looked quite unwell.
"What's wrong?" Ling Buqi asked, noticing the frowning general.
Tang Bugui remained silent, suppressing his doubts for the time being.
Deep within the little dumpling's mind, a pair of golden eyes suddenly appeared.
But soon, the golden eyes disappeared.
"Father is too amazing!"
The golden-eyed man seemed to whisper something to himself.
The little dumpling seemed to sense something and instinctively said, "Daddy is so amazing!"
Tang Bugui's smile deepened as he looked at the adoration in the little dumpling's eyes.
He gently patted Xiao Su Bao's head and said in a tender voice, "Su Bao is amazing too, she can even save people!"
After Tang Bugui finished speaking, he turned to look at Ling Buqi, who immediately ran over to him like a sycophant.
"Clean things up here, and then find out the whole story!"
Ling Buqi quickly nodded.
Tang Bugui and the others were about to leave.
The surrounding scenery, however, changed completely.
The village remains the same, but the feeling it evokes is completely different.
Before, they felt like they were in a fog, but now they have a sense of being grounded.
Honeysuckle, grass, and many villagers opened their eyes.
They looked around in confusion, their village and home seeming unfamiliar to them.
Those who were still attending the banquet have also woken up. However, their condition is even worse.
Their faces were all pale, and they looked extremely frightening.
"What's wrong with us? I haven't even had a drink, how did I faint!" A young lady from a wealthy family rubbed her temples, her eyes filled with confusion.
Soon everyone noticed something; they looked towards the village chief's house!
"Ah! So many snakes!"
The little girl was so frightened that she fainted.
In an instant, the faces of those attending the banquet changed drastically, and they hurriedly fled.
Fortunately, Village Chief Jin arrived with his men and women, separated them, and carefully escorted them out of the village.
Those people had such a deep impression of Feihua Village that they all rushed home, determined never to come back here again.
As for Feihua wine, they absolutely dared not drink it.
These are all things to be discussed later.
Little Su Bao saw that those whose merits had been drained seemed to have their merits restored at this moment.
"What on earth is going on?!"
Honeysuckle rubbed her temples. She felt like she had just taken a nap, and she didn't recognize anything around her.
Village Chief Jin gathered everyone together.
The rest is none of their business.
But just as they were about to leave, Xiaocao came over.
Her eyes showed surprise.
However, the grass quickly recovered.
She looked at Xiao Su Bao and said, "If you're not in a hurry, can you stay for now?"
Ruolan seemed to have thought of something as well, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"That sorceress also has an underground palace, right below our Flying Flower Village. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Ruolan looked at Tang Bugui, who was a high-ranking general of the imperial court and would likely go to see him.
Ruolan's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes lit up when she thought of the moment Tang Bugui defeated the female demon.
"Daddy... Shall we go take a look?" Little Su Bao looked at her father with bright, sparkling eyes.
Tang Bugui looked at his daughter, and his heart softened slightly.
"Of course!"
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up immediately, and she looked extremely happy.
The group arrived at the village chief's house.
Surprisingly, there was a small Taoist temple in the backyard of the village chief's house.
The Taoist temple does not enshrine the Three Pure Ones or other Taoist deities.
Instead, it was a blue-faced, fanged Rakshasa!
A cold glint flashed in Tang Bugui's eyes. As expected, this was the Yama Palace, one of the Twelve Rakshasa.
"The passage is this way!" Ruolan walked at the front, a strange light in her eyes. If she could, she would wish to have her master torn to pieces.
They opened a hidden room and walked down for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. In an instant, a huge palace appeared before them.
Tang Bugui carried the little dumpling inside.
"Daddy, look!" The little dumpling's eyes lit up instantly as he pointed to a huge luminous pearl not far away and shouted.
"It's the East Sea Pearl!" The little dumpling had seen it before in Lan Xin'er's room.
However, that luminous pearl was very small and not as beautiful as the one in front of us.
The little dumpling looked at Tang Bugui with bright, sparkling eyes.
Tang Bugui never expected that his daughter was such a little money-grubber...
His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.
"You like these gold and silver jewels!" Tang Bugui asked, looking at the little girl in front of him.
Little Su Bao's eyes fell on those things, but she shook her head.
"Su Bao likes money. If Su Bao has money, Mommy can buy delicious food and help Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Nephew Da Bao get married..."
The little dumpling's eyes sparkled as she spoke.
However, the little dumpling's smile faded slightly the next moment.
She noticed a faint grayish wisp of gas on the silver coins.
This bad luck made the little dumpling very uncomfortable.
She didn't like the gold and silver jewelry here; she really disliked it.
"But Su Bao doesn't like these!"
The little dumpling's eyes seemed to hold a hint of seriousness as it spoke.
Tang Bugui was slightly taken aback, and looked at the little dumpling, asking, "Why don't you like it? If you're willing..."
Su Bao, however, spoke first, shaking her head.
"Su Bao doesn't want to! Su Bao likes the money she earns herself!" Little Su Bao said firmly, her eyes clear.
She looked at her father and reached out her little hand to hold his head. The two of them looked at each other.
The little dumpling said to Tang Bugui in a sweet, childlike voice, "Daddy, Mommy said that a gentleman loves money but acquires it in a proper way, and a woman who loves money must also acquire it in a proper way..."
Her gaze fell once again on the gold and silver jewelry before her, and then she said to Tang Bugui, "This is all ill-gotten wealth; we cannot use it, or it will bring bad luck!"
Tang Bugui looked at the chubby little dumpling who was trying so hard to be serious and speak like an adult, and felt a little helpless.
"Having a bad luck fruit means bad luck!" the little dumpling muttered to herself.
Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Subao, a strange glint in his eyes.
Sure enough, my daughter is different now...?
Just as Tang Bugui was about to speak, he felt a lightness in his arms.
The little dumpling had broken free from Tang Bugui and now looked like a little spinning top.
"Daddy, come quick, there's so much money here!"
Little Su Bao's eyes were still bright and sparkling, but there was not a trace of greed in them.
Tang Bugui curled his lips into a smile and walked behind his daughter.
If the little dumpling really likes gold and silver treasures, he can give them to him.
But it seems that Shuyu has taught her very well.
Tang Bugui smiled, but then a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
It must be said that this female demon is quite capable.
The treasures inside this underground palace are countless!
Among them, gold and silver are countless.
Little Su Bao and Little Mo Bao held hands, and led Bai Yin Jun to search around below, giving off a sense of adventure.
Ms. Qian followed closely behind, fearing that the children might encounter some danger.
"You lot, slow down! Bai Yinjun, don't touch me! Xiao Su Bao, watch your step! Xiao Mo Bao... slow down, don't run!" Madam Qian was chasing after them, and she wanted to beat them up instantly.
"How is this sorcerer so powerful, managing to acquire so many fine things!" Qian couldn't help but glance at the large box of jade before her.
Ms. Qian was taken aback. As she chased after the children, she couldn't help but look at the things inside.
I've never seen so many amazing things in my entire life.
Even when she was in the mountain stronghold, what she saw was only a drop in the ocean.
Ruolan clenched her fists slightly upon hearing Xiaosubao's words before speaking.
"All of this money was obtained by that guy through swindling the people..."
Seeing that both Madam Qian and Tang Bugui were looking over, she paused for a moment before beginning her explanation.
At this moment, Ruolan's eyes were filled with hatred. She looked at Tang Bugui and Qian Shi and said, "That guy put something addictive in the Feihua wine he made!"
As she spoke, Ruolan looked around and finally found a box of things in an inconspicuous place.
Upon seeing this, Tang Bugui's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
Xiao Su Bao and Qian Shi couldn't help but come over.
The little girl's expression changed instantly after just one glance from the baby.
Her eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her nose.
Such dense black energy!
The black aura seemed to be searching for a target, making Xiao Su Bao afraid to breathe.
"What is this?" Bai Yinjun stepped forward, pinched a shell, and sniffed it.
He opened his mouth as if to take a bite, but Xiao Su Bao slapped it away.
"You can't eat it!" Little Su Bao recognizes this thing.
The mute old woman had once helped her save someone, and that person's family had many of these things.
The mute old woman was very angry that time and used a lot of very bitter medicine.
Little Su Bao still remembers that family.
The man was so thin he was just skin and bones, and his face was a sallow color.
In his family, his father had died, leaving only his parents.
The little dumpling heard from someone that the uncle used to have a wife and children, but he just loved eating this stuff so much.
Then his children were sold, and his wife ran off with someone else.
"Grandma said...this thing will ruin a family!" The little dumpling's eyes were filled with terror.
Bai Yinjun quickly threw the thing away, his little face full of seriousness.
"My goodness, is he really that amazing?" Bai Yinjun instantly stood next to Xiao Subao, looking incredibly obedient.
Little Su Bao nodded solemnly.
Tang Bugui's expression darkened slightly as he walked up to his daughter.
"Su Bao, who did you see eating this?" Tang Bugui asked his daughter.
Little Su Bao thought for a moment, then said, "It's an uncle in Stinky Fish Alley, outside Kyoto!"
Tang Bugui nodded, indicating that he had made a mental note of it.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated; opium poppies...
Tang Bugui took a deep breath, his eyes filled with coldness.
Even she had never seen so much opium before.
"Do people here grow poppies?" Tang Bugui asked, glancing at Ruolan.
In the Great Shang Dynasty, poppies were strictly prohibited.
"No, there are no people here, and we don't know where the sorceress got these things from. I've seen quite a few in those houses over there."
Then Ruolan led them to the other side.
Sure enough, there was even more stuff here, and it looked so chilling!
This isn't opium poppy shells, it's opium!
Tang Bugui's face was ashen. If it weren't for his daughter being there, he would probably have had the urge to go back and kill the female demon.
"Damn it!" Before Tang Bugui could even speak, Ling Buqi had already cursed out.
"What should we do with these things now?" Ruolan asked Tang Bugui.
Tang Bugui frowned slightly. The processing of the longevity ointment was very troublesome. It could not be thrown directly into water, nor could it be used with fire!
But more importantly, these things absolutely cannot be left behind.
If someone were to ingest it, it could really cause problems!
"Grandma said that this kind of thing can only be made with quicklime!" Just then, a childish voice suddenly came.
Xiao Su Bao stood to the side with Xiao Mo Bao by her side, her brows furrowed and her little face serious.
“That opium poppy shell can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, but… this is a bad thing. The mute old woman said it’s harmful!” Little Nair Tuanzi seemed a little angry, her brows furrowing tightly.
Tang Bugui paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Su Bao with surprise.
What exactly is it that the mute old woman doesn't know?
If he had the chance, he really wanted to meet that legendary mute old woman!
Tang Bugui looked at the little dumpling, suppressed his anger, and asked the little dumpling, "Do you know the specific method?"
The little dumpling paused, glanced at the gazes of the people around her, and then said, "Soak it in seawater for half a day, then pour in quicklime, then cut these things open... After the water boils and it's cooked, just discharge the wastewater into the sea."
Xiao Su Bao recalled as she spoke.
Everyone listened very attentively.
Ling Buqi pulled out a small notebook and a charcoal pencil from somewhere.
He wrote countless words in meticulous detail.
“In the past, the imperial court used burning, but the drawbacks were too great... Moreover, after burning with tung oil, it can still be extracted again, and one or two tenths can still be extracted without any problem. Using this awesome method is not bad, and there is no need to worry about it being extracted again.”
Ling Buqi watched, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
He and Tang Bugui had once wiped out a small island that was inhabited by people who used this kind of drug.
All they could do back then was burn it. Fortunately, it was on an island, and there were no civilians around.
Even so, some people still hear ghostly wails and howls from that place year-round.
Animals become excited when they smell the omega-3.
"Little General, is there something you don't know?" Ling Buqi looked at Xiao Su Bao with a hint of respect in his eyes.
Little Su Bao blinked, a little embarrassed, and said, "Su Bao didn't know Brother Ling was so good at praising people!"
Ling Buqi...
Tang Bugui, who was standing to the side, had a heavy heart, but upon hearing his daughter's words, his smile broadened.
After a pause, Tang Bugui said, "Well, I don't know either!"
Ling Buqi's face immediately fell, and he looked at his great general and his little daughter with a pitiful expression.
Seeing Ling Buqi's resentful gaze, Madam Qian slightly curled the corners of her lips.
However, soon everyone stopped caring about these things.
Little Su Bao somehow managed to get to the highest seat.
The little dumpling blinked its eyes, staring intently at the ghost mask on its mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo Bao looked over and asked Xiao Su Bao with a puzzled expression.
Little Su Bao said in her sweet, babyish voice, "It's really ugly..."
When Ms. Qian heard the little girl's words, she was both amused and exasperated. She was about to reach out and pick up the little dumpling.
Suddenly, Xiao Su Bao grabbed the seat, which was taller than her, with both hands and feet and climbed up.
Before Qian could finish her work, Xiao Mo Bao was already squatting down, supporting Xiao Su Bao's feet with her back.
The Qian family...
This kid's pretty good!
Mrs. Qian looked at Xiao Su Bao, then at Xiao Mo Bao, and felt that the children were too young...
Thinking of Xiao Mobao's experiences, Madam Qian felt even more sorry for him.
Little Su Bao was unaware of what Qian was thinking. She reached out, grabbed the ghost mask, and then pulled hard.
"Snap!"
Almost simultaneously, a new entrance appeared in the stone wall behind the seat.
The Qian family...
"Daughter...can you let your mother calm down...?" I hate secret rooms the most!
Little Su Bao looked at Qian Shi with her big eyes sparkling, appearing exceptionally innocent.
Ms. Qian pursed her lips, momentarily at a loss for words.
Little Su Bao turned to look at Madam Qian, tilted her head slightly, and asked timidly, "Mother, did Su Bao get into trouble again?"
Little Su Bao rubbed her hands together, looked at Qian Shi, and then cautiously tugged at Qian Shi's sleeve, saying, "Mother, don't be angry, okay?"
Looking at the soft and adorable little dumpling, how could Mrs. Qian possibly stay angry?
Besides, the little dumpling did a good deed!
Madam Qian ruffled the little dumpling's hair and said, "Mother isn't angry, and Su Bao hasn't caused any trouble. Su Bao has been helping everyone all along!"
When Xiao Su Bao heard Qian Shi's affirmation, her big eyes instantly brightened.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, making her look exceptionally cute.
Tang Bugui looked at his daughter, then glanced at the entrance and said, "Guard Ling, you two go in first and take a look. Take torches, and if the flames go out, come out immediately!"
Ling Buqi nodded and called two guards to go inside.
However, the little dumpling suddenly grabbed Ling Buqi by the back of his collar...
Because she was on a stool, it was difficult for her to grab onto other places.
Ling Buqi immediately perked up his ears and stood up straight.
"Young general, what do you say..."
