Zhou Kao nodded and asked,

"Since you are family, why don't you ask these people to inform the Queen and take you away?"

When Yu Niang heard that Zhou Kao wanted to take a shortcut, she thought to herself that this was not possible.

"My benefactor, have you forgotten about redeeming your crime by making meritorious contributions?"

Yu Niang secretly curled her lips and reminded Zhou Kao that she had not spent enough time with her husband!

"Too."

At Yu Niang's secret signal, Huang Taigong, who was standing nearby, also spoke while leaning on his cane, "Prince Zhou, you may not know that Empress Bingyi is out looking for her, and no one will come to help her for a while."

Zhou Kao asked suspiciously.

"There must be someone in charge, right?"

"This……"

Huang Taigong looked at the signal his young lady was sending him, feeling a little embarrassed.

He quickly tried to make up for it, "We elves don't hold a high position in the palace. If anyone knows about the incident involving our team, they will be punished."

Yu Niang on the side quickly gave a thumbs up to the clever Huang Taigong.

Alas, my poor lover, please surrender to me, fufufufufufufufufufufufufu!!!

In this way, Zhou Kao was forced (tricked) into understanding why Yu Niang had to go to the East China Sea.

After reporting to the East China Sea, it can be regarded as "making amends for the mistakes", so naturally a mark will be made to offset the merits and demerits.

I thought it was common among mortals, but I didn't expect that monsters and elves were also so helpless.

The meal in the system turned out not to be that delicious anywhere else.

"Oh, Mr. Huang, why is the road leading into the village so bumpy and full of potholes? I think it's been there for a while. Why hasn't anyone repaired it? Is there a demon haunting it?"

"Ugh……"

Huang Taigong sighed and stamped his feet,

"It's not some monster at all. This is the result of the seven sons of the owner of the manor fighting over the division of the family property. What a foolish thing to do! I've made a fool of myself, Mr. Zhou."

"Ah?? The owner of such a large manor didn't leave a will?"

"This……"

Huang Taigong was full of ashamed. He was here to suppress criminals and bring good fortune and luck, but in the end, the host family was in turmoil. This was an insult to his career.

After a struggle in my heart,

Huang Taigong then said, "The old owner of the manor... the old owner of the manor is not dead, he is still alive, but he has been bedridden due to anger for many days..."

Chapter 40 The Seven-Colored Stone Suppresses the Golden Snake Demon, but There is No Calabash Brothers

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kao flew into a rage. Zhou Kao was a highly qualified person with noble moral qualities.

Although he won’t hold others to his own standards, this is a human matter???

Shameful! !】Yue/Yi Yi starts i-sTi strange hiss (V) wheel

"Seven brothers are fighting over the family business, and they've even made their parents bedridden with rage? Lead the way! I want to come and ask for your advice!"

Zhou Kao's heart of wanting to stand up for the weak was moved at this moment, and his hands were itching even more.

It’s been a long time since I last saw him. I want to practice boxing and kicking with someone.

Zhou Kao looked at Zhuangzi in the distance and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

There is no delay now.

Zhou Kao put Hu Shigong on another horse. With the old man guiding the way, he was not afraid of taking the wrong path.

The main reason was that Zhou Kao was afraid of hitting the wrong person.

You need to find someone who understands to lead the way.

On the way, Zhou Kao tilted his head and asked, "Gourd Stone Master, what is the origin of the monster you suppressed here?"

Hu Shigong stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "Oh, it's a golden snake spirit that committed a crime and was caught by the chief steward."

"Speaking of which, in another hundred and twenty years, it should be due."

Yu Niang interrupted at this time,

"Oh? Hasn't Hu Shigong been here for over three hundred years?"

Yu Niang really didn't know about this. At that time, Yu Niang was still a child and was playing around.

Who cares what the people below have done wrong.

But Yu Niang was secretly annoyed when she saw her husband chatting passionately with the old man again.

This young man, what is there to talk about with this old man? He has neglected my charming young lady.

"It's been here since the Tang Dynasty, exactly 380 years ago."

After hearing this, they were stunned for nearly four hundred years. Zhou Kao was even more shocked: "That golden snake demon has been suppressed here for five hundred years? What crime has it committed?"

He's on the same level as a certain monkey. Did he also break the rules of heaven?

"I stole a Seven Star Elixir from the master's house.

Well, it’s also stealing pills.

Hu Shigong shook his head, his tone quite proud.

"Suppressing it for five hundred years is already a great mercy. If it were any other long-term insect, it would have been destroyed long ago. How could it allow me to cultivate peacefully here for three hundred and eighty years?

Suppressing the evil spirits that commit crimes has always been a good job.

You don’t have to travel around and you can also practice with the spiritual energy of this place.

If it comes across a place with a large population, Hu Shigong will passively gather luck, the villagers' lives will be better, and the incense offerings will be endless.

This blessing is not only for humans, but also for elves.

The seven-colored stone that was the body of the Gourd Stone God was collected by villagers who knew the value of it and built a small temple, which was very popular.

Halfway through the journey, Zhou Kao saw that the mountain road was full of potholes on both sides.

He couldn't help but frown: "Mr. Hu Shi, you have a pit here and a cave there, it's just a division of the family, why is it so serious?

Hu Shi Gong shook his head and sighed, stroking his beard and saying, "These holes were once filled with centuries-old trees. Now they've been cut down and used as beams or furniture. Even if they don't need them themselves, they can still fetch a lot of money if sold.

These days, good firewood is very valuable.

Zhou Kao snorted coldly: "The father hasn't even died yet, and the sons are already fighting over the family property. How shameful!

After a pause, he said angrily, "If this continues, I think even your stone, Hu Shi Gong, will be divided up by them sooner or later.

"Mr. Zhou was joking.

Hu Shigong laughed.

"I am but a piece of stone, what's the point of dividing it?

"It's okay to use it as a stepping stone, right? After all, it's a stone of seven colors, and the seven brothers each have a different color.

Although Zhou Kao's words were spoken in anger, they also revealed the truth.

Now that it had come to the point of dividing the property, not to mention the large properties, even the residue in the oil bottle had to be scraped clean and divided equally, the manure in the toilet had to be weighed by kilograms, and not even a single drop of soup could be left out.

After turning a bend in the mountain road, I suddenly saw a small temple about one meter tall standing next to an ancient locust tree.

The temple with black tiles and white walls was neatly kept, with a half-worn red cloth banner hanging under the eaves.

Inside the temple, there is a piece of seven-colored mottled stone, which has a dark luster under the influence of incense.

Seven colors? Suppressing the snake demon? No Calabash Brothers.

Zhou Kao felt secretly regretful.

The small temple had black tiles and white walls, and was kept clean, but the outer area was in ruins.

Dozens of earth pits are spread all around like scars, and the deepest ravines have been dug to the roots of ancient locust trees.

Several hoes were stuck crookedly in the soil, obviously someone had been sweating here not long ago.

Hu Shigong's stone face was about to crack.

Just now he said that no one was fighting for the stubborn stone, but in the blink of an eye he saw that his own temple had been dug into pieces.

At this time, the crowd was moving and noisy. Seven men wearing boy's scarves were arguing with red faces and bulging veins on their necks, looking like fighting cocks.

But they all wore boy's hats, so they must be scholars studying somewhere.

"I should have a share of this blessed stone!"

"Bullshit! The eldest son inherits the throne by right!"

"How can seven people divide a stone?"

"Then I don't care. If I have it, I have it. If I don't have it... then I have nothing!"

"If you want to smash it, smash it for seven pieces!

"I'm the eldest son, so of course the Fushi Stone belongs to me!"

"Stop talking nonsense. The family property has always been shared equally. Do you want to take it all for yourself?!"

"I'm your brother!!!"

"You still know that you are the elder brother, and this is how you take care of your brothers?"

Several brothers were arguing at the entrance of the small temple, which made Zhou Kao's blood pressure rise.

"shut up!

Zhou Kao shouted sternly,

"How dare you divide the family property while your parents are still here? You guys are wasting your time studying sage books! No wonder you're still just students!!!"

Zhou Kao's words directly hit the nail on the head for those people.

This old man was still a student, yet he was scolded by a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

The seven red-faced and angry brothers immediately turned their guns towards Zhou Kao.

"who are you?"

"What does our family affairs have to do with you?"

"That's right, how can you meddle in other people's business?"

"You guys, please leave quickly."

Zhou Kao laughed out of anger, staring at the four people: "You are useless people who can't even wear a handkerchief. I am Zhou Kao, a scholar from Beiguo County. Which academy are you from? Tell me your names!"

"what?!"

"What happened to Xiqierling? What happened to Qishan 4 Liu Academy Weekly Examination?"

"He is a scholar who can participate in this year's autumn examination..."

"I have a reputation..."

The four brothers suddenly changed their expressions and put on smiles as if by magic.

The eldest son, who had been arguing the loudest, even staggered and nearly tripped over his own sleeve as he hurriedly bowed.

"I'm a poor student, nice to meet Mr. Zhou..."

The seven of them spoke at the same time, their tone was kind, completely different from before.

Zhou Kao felt nauseous. His expression changed faster than the weather.

He is really shameless, arrogant at first and then flattering. When he knew that he was Zhou Kao, the demon-killer, he immediately became fawning.

"Stop trying to flatter me! You shameless bastards, how dare you call me sir!"

Zhou Kao was furious and jumped off his horse.

Just about to scold.

But suddenly I felt the ground sink and a hole appeared.
