I am building a fairy garden on earth

Chapter 161

After Concubine Zhou left...

Xu Boqing quietly went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, saw the beautiful woman tidying up the phoenix, he walked over silently, hugged the beautiful woman by the waist, and made a few coquettish screams.

"you……"

Empress Dowager Chen wrapped her pink arms around his neck, cast a glance at him and said coquettishly, "You thief will make fun of Aijia."

"Does the empress like it?"

Xu Boqing sat on Fengta, put the beautiful woman in his arms on his lap, buried his face in his pink neck and took a deep breath, "Sweet~"

"you……"

Empress Dowager Chen recalled the feeling of bathing in the hot spring just now, and her heart trembled...

The scarlet color that had just dissipated on her cheeks reappeared again, and she warned softly: "You...you have worked hard all day, take a good rest, don't make trouble again."

"Well, rest~"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, the yin and yang in his body were out of balance, and he really needed to rest, so he took off his clothes and put the beautiful woman in his arms into the phoenix cave to rest...

The two rubbed each other's ears, and the Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Then Zhu Wenjing annoyed you at the banquet?"

"Zhu Wenjing still doesn't annoy me..."

Xu Boqing said indifferently: "To me, his small thoughts are like a child's play house, and I didn't take it to heart."

"Then how did your concubine Zhou say that you left the table angrily?"

"I'm not annoyed, and it's not because Zhu Wenjing left the banquet, but because of a little demon in Zhu Wenjing's residence."

"Demon?"

Empress Dowager Chen was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously made up the image of a ghost with a green face and fangs. After recovering, she asked with a face full of disbelief: "There are really monsters in this world?"

"Yes~"

"Quickly tell Aijia~"

Xu Boqing pondered for a while, and recounted the encounter with the cat demon at the banquet, the leaving the banquet to catch the demon, and the acceptance of his apprentice Miaojing.

Those who can tell the place are like telling a story, and the places that cannot be told like Liu Heng'e are just mentioned.

When the Empress Dowager Chen heard that the little cat demon with strange eyes worshiped Xu Boqing as his teacher, she couldn't help but a gratified smile appeared on her cheeks; when she heard that there were some other monsters hiding in the capital, she seemed a little worried.

"Aijia thought that the monsters were all ferocious with blue faces and fangs. I never imagined that there are such cute monsters as kittens in the world."

After all, she seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "By the way, the emperor is out of the palace today, which is rare. It is impossible to say that he will go to court tomorrow or in the next few days."

"If you go to court, you will go to court..."

Xu Boqing smiled indifferently...

For Daliang, he has no sense of belonging other than the Palace of Compassion and Ning; for the emperor of Daliang, he has no awe at all;

"How you say now is also the governor of the West Factory."

Empress Dowager Chen rubbed his cheek and said softly: "If the emperor goes to court, as a courtier, you have to go to court too."

"Well, let's go to bed first."

...............

In the next few days...

At the Queen Mother's strong request...

Xu Boqing did not go out in the palace.

I read books during the day, and in my spare time, I went to the Xichang Supervisor to teach the Duan brothers the practice of "Yin Qi Jue"...

I thought that if the Emperor Yonghe came to court, it would be no harm for me, the governor of the West Factory, to show his face at the court meeting...

But he obviously overestimated Emperor Yonghe.

This guy went out of the palace only to go to King Jing's mansion for a banquet to see his grandson, and after returning to the palace, he continued to leave all court matters to his confidantes. Not only did he have no intention of going to court, but he declared a "retreat" practice for half a year, and no one was seen...

And the hanging hearts of all the courtiers fell again.

It's still time to eat and drink...

The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly and said nothing.

After Xu Boqing touched the little black ball made of little ghosts in his pocket, he also remembered the little thief who was thrown into the prison a few days ago.

He is still somewhat interested in alchemists such as magic sticks and witches who run around the rivers and lakes.

To be more precise, I am interested in those ghostly things...

So I took the time to go out of the palace and go around the prison.

Prison Secretary Hu received the news a long time ago and came out to greet him, bowing and saluting, "I've seen the governor in my humble position."

"Don't be too polite."

Xu Boqing waved his hand with a strange expression...

A few days ago when I brought the little thief to the sky prison, the sky was already dark, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Only today did I find that Warden Hu has dark circles under his eyes and his face is a bit haggard.

"My lord, please~"

Prison Secretary Hu led him to the Prison Secretary's house, and smiled as he walked: "A few days ago, I happened to send someone to buy a few jars of 30-year-old wine. It is extremely fragrant, and I invite the governor to taste it."

“Have to try~”

After Xu Boqing took his seat in the Prison Office, he saw that some snacks were ready, so he asked in a teasing tone: "Prison Secretary Hu knows that I will come today?"

"I don't know."

Prison Secretary Hu hurriedly shook his head, unsealed the mud seal on the wine jar, and explained while pouring the wine: "The governor said a few days ago that he would come, so the humble officer must prepare the wine and food properly."

He paused, and said implicitly: "In this way, once the supervisor comes, you don't have to wait; if the supervisor doesn't come, you can have a good meal, right?"

"Hahahahaha, I am interested."

Although Xu Boqing smiled on his face, he secretly lamented that the bureaucratic system is nothing like this. Sometimes the people above just say a word casually, and the people below have to ponder it for a long time.

He picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then asked: "I don't think Prisoner Hu looks very good, but what happened recently?"

"My Lord is concerned."

Prison Secretary Hu didn't know what he thought of when he heard the words, he sighed and said cautiously: "In the past few months, many strange people and strange things have been imprisoned in the prison on this day.

The more weird people there are, the more troubles they will cause. Some things are fine, but some things are evil and cowardly. They can't sleep well at night. "

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing was surprised, and scanned around with his Celestial Eye, and saw that Prison Secretary Hu was not contaminated with any evil spirits except for some Yin Qi.

There are not a few people who died of injustice in the sky prison, especially when they are in prison, the environment is harsh and the sun is not seen, it is very common to accumulate some negative energy.

Not to mention him as the warden who works in the prison, even the older jailers and prisoners will be more or less contaminated.

He took a sip of his drink and asked, "What is it about Xiemen that even a prison officer like you who has worked in the prison for 20 years is frightened?"

"It's not bad to work in the prison for 20 years for a humble job, but in the past, ordinary people were imprisoned."

Prison Secretary Hu also knew that Governor Xu in front of him was kind and kind, and he had some friendship with him, as if he had found someone to complain about.

He pondered for a while, and said with a bitter face: "But those who have been locked in recently are not ordinary people, some made a paper doll, and the paper doll ran away with two legs like a living person.

Some despise the bad food in the sky prison. When the jailer heard the news and came to find him, the man lay on the prisoner in the same cell and drank human blood, cannibalism...

There are also those who were obviously taken to the vegetable market and beheaded, but were arrested again after a few days, it can be said that there are many strange things, and those who look at the humble job are also terrified. "

"..."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly.

Thinking that his cultivation was cultivated in this prison, and he was also involved in a lot of karma, so he should help him.

"There are indeed some alchemists in this world who use small tricks to confuse people's hearts, but they are not unsolvable."

He paused, thought for a while and then smiled: "Do you have any aged peach wood, jujube wood, or sandalwood?"

"Aged peach wood, jujube wood, sandalwood."

Prisoner Hu frowned and murmured, and then asked inexplicably: "I would like to ask, what do you want these woods for?"

"Aren't you so frightened that you can't even sleep well?"

Xu Boqing smiled slightly, and explained: "These three types of wood grow slowly, but have strong yang energy, which can be used to ward off disasters and evil spirits."

At the end, he added: "Especially after the lightning strike, the effect is even worse. Take this wood, and I will help you calm down!"

"Ah, this..."

Prison Secretary Hu was overjoyed when he heard this...

He knew how profound the master Xu's skills were in front of him, and he could turn a great master in the innate realm of martial arts into a lifetime of cultivation.

Isn't it a blessing from cultivation that such a big man actually wants to help him to 'settle his mind'?

"how?"

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Xu Boqing took a sip of his drink and joked, "Do you not need my help? Or do you not want my help?"

"Yes! 1 willing!!"

Prison Secretary Hu's cheeks were a little flushed with excitement, he quickly stood up and saluted, and said: "The humble position is humble, the governor is willing to help, and the humble position is worthy of gratitude!"

"Is there any wood?"

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

Prison Secretary Hu seemed to have thought of something, and said with bright eyes: "In the home of one of my cousins, there used to be a century-old jujube tree that has been passed down for generations!
When Beizhi was young, the jujube tree was as thick as a palm.

Although the trunk is bald, it still bears fruit every year, which is very fruitful, but it was struck by lightning in a thunderstorm more than ten years ago, and even the trunk of the jujube tree was broken.

The elders of that cousin's family felt distressed for a while, and later used the remaining half of the tree trunk to build a desk.

According to Beizhi's cousin, the surface of the desk is delicate and smooth, moist and shiny, and it also emits a faint fragrance of jujube wood.

Some time ago, the humble official went to the cousin's house on business, and found that the desk was still there, and there was no sign of insect bites and ants. I don't know if it meets the governor's request. "

"Lightning struck Zaomu for more than a hundred years."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, and confessed: "If your cousin's house is not far from here, you can bring that desk to me to have a look."

"Not far, not far! That cousin's house is in the capital, and the round trip will only take a quarter of an hour at most!"

Prison Secretary Hu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Please wait for a moment, the governor, the humble officer will lead someone to fetch the desk!!"

"Well, no hurry."

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, then waved his hands and said: "Go, let's go, I've had the wine and the food, and I just want to meet the kid who sent me that night."

"Yes!!"

Prison Secretary Hu bowed and retreated, and trotted out of the prison with a few confidantes after going out...

And Xu Boqing drank the wine in the glass, got up and called two guards to accompany him, and went to the prison...
