The difference between one silver dollar and five silver dollars is still huge.
However, the system task was completed.
[Temporary trigger mission: Help Orange Bureau catch/eliminate evil spirits]
[The mission has been completed, and the reward, the Bright Heart Sword, has been distributed. 】
There is an extra swordsmanship book in his mind, but he still has to talk to Ju Ju about something, so Pei Mengqing has not learned it yet.
To practice this thing, you need to find a quiet place and a period of time without being disturbed by others.
Just like there are only a few people who can read a book in a busy city, there are also a few people who can practice in all kinds of messy environments without being affected by the outside world.
"I accepted the commission from the county government and came to investigate the mutated tiger. I got one silver dollar for the truth and five silver dollars for the mutated tiger carcass." After saying this, Pei Mengqing paused and looked at Ju Ju, "Brother Ju Ju, Do you have any good ideas?"
At this time, Orange Bureau showed its wisdom:
"It's just that you detected an evil spirit and it's attached to a tiger. It's fine if you haven't killed it. According to the information from the Ragdoll and Devon Cat factions, there may be organizations that believe in evil in the yamen of various counties and counties. eyeliner.
"I heard that Fengzhang Road and Yuanshan Road have been cut off. Lianggu Road would not have been able to remain open if I had not relied on you to help. Yingchuan Road is the direction in which the enemy enters and exits, so it will not be blocked for the time being. If you tell the county government the truth, and if the insiders of the evil organization learn that the evil spirit on Lianggu Road has been eradicated, they may send new evil spirits."
Ragdoll and German cats are different from other types of cats with more numbers. Due to market scarcity and good looks, once they appear in the world, they are gradually monopolized by dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and landlords, and their prices are constantly raised. , so that ordinary cat lovers are often deterred by the expensive prices of these two products.
However, it is precisely because of this that these two groups of cats have successfully blended into the upper class of the human world and become the best spies to inquire about, collect, and deliver important information such as the trends of human society.
These two groups, as well as some other minority cats, are the well-deserved royal guards of the cat clan.
"Orange Bureau, do you know anything about the tragedy in Jieliang County a year ago? Could it be that the cutoff of county roads this time is a precursor to the tragedy in Jieliang County?"
Combining the information obtained from the practice system, Pei Mengqing made a reasonable guess and turned the conversation to Juju.
"Huh? It seems that there are some smart people in Liangzhou County. As we walked, I said, I was going to the city to join my cousin."
Juju jumped onto Pei Mengqing's shoulder. Pei Mengqing's first reaction was to dodge, but he didn't.
"cousin?"
So, there is at least one cat as powerful as Juju in the county.
"Well, my cousin is a mixture of Tianyuan Cat and Jin Jianshi. My aunt and my mother have the same mother."
The term "mixed blood" is quite awkward when used with cats. Generally speaking, mixed blood animals are called "chuaner".
"I would like to ask, is your cat tribe a matriarchal society?" Pei Mengqing asked another interesting question.
His thinking was actually very fast, but he often strayed into some strange things. He thought of the videos he had seen in his previous life. Cats basically did not form families, but mated every time they reached puberty. The final scene was that of a mother. Cats take a group of kittens with them, and when the kittens grow up, they continue to breed.
"Yes at first, but later because it was smarter to drive and capable of raising a complete family, we changed to monogamy."
The big orange on his shoulders still put a lot of pressure on Pei Mengqing. One person and one cat chatted while returning to the town.
During this period, Pei Mengqing also told the Orange Bureau about the Dark Night Chaos, and the Orange Bureau agreed to help him solve the problem of Ernst and Young Pawnshop, but he had to go to his cousin first.
When passing by the Ernst & Young Pawn Shop, Juju's expression became extremely solemn after seeing the "blood donation truck".
Afterwards, Bureau Orange told Pei Mengqing about several evil organizations active in several northern states.
They are the Dark Night Chaos whose home base is in Yanzhou, the Tianmeng Pavilion that has its home base in Jizhou, the Suppression Group that has its home base in Sili, and the Gate of Nothingness that has its home base in Xuzhou.
As for the beliefs of these evil organizations, Orange Bureau said that he did not know, because even if he knew about those terrifying existences, he would still be a danger.
When they arrived in the city, one person and one cat worked separately. Pei Mengqing went to the Yamen to report the investigation results, while Ju Bureau went to find his cousin. Around dinner time in the afternoon, they met at Zhang Baicheng's noodle stall on the edge of the town.
Pei Mengqing went to the county government office, took the paper she had received from the aid station, handed in the task, and successfully received one silver dollar.
As a result, he finally had a small amount of assets. He found a ready-made clothing store that was not closed yet and bought a well-fitting "Hu suit" with velvet, which had pockets inside to hide money.
While keeping warm, the long sleeves didn't get in the way. He couldn't guarantee that his sleeves wouldn't block his vision during the fight, or that his sleeves wouldn't be cut when he drew his sword.
Pei Mengqing also found a hotel, rented it for one night, took a hot bath, and washed out the original shabby clothes in a frugal manner.
Using a long sword to trim the part, he cut a scarf from his old robe. If he raided Ernst & Young's pawnshop tomorrow, he could use the scarf to cover his face.
He didn't use the afternoon to rest. There was an undercurrent surging throughout Liangzhou County, and he didn't know when it would explode. He had to practice hard in every quiet time he could find.
During the operation of "Sum of Qi Sound", it continuously circulates and absorbs Qi, gradually transforming Pei Mengqing's body to a suitable level. Perhaps that level can be called flawless.
It's just that this time without Ju Ju's help to gather Qi, he had to absorb it on his own, and his efficiency was much slower.
As for the Mingxin Sword, he was overjoyed. There were prerequisites for this swordsmanship, and he could only start learning it when he reached the next realm - the soul-nourishing realm.
In the evening, Pei Mengqing's stomach was already growling after he skipped lunch. He still didn't know how far he could go without eating.
Put all the silver coins into the pockets inside your clothes, and string the copper coins into a bunch, wrap them in cloth, and hang them around your waist.
The sword can also be hung on the waist. The previous one-piece robe had no place to hang the sword, so he could only hold the sword.
When he arrived at the noodle stall, Tachibana was already waiting there. He was burying his head in the bowl, making a happy sound of "purring" and eating the food in the bowl.
There is another orange cat next to him, but the color is more golden and the body is slimmer. He is probably Orange Ju's cousin.
Judging from the coat color, Juju's cousin is undoubtedly more attractive than the dark orange Juju. Even Pei Mengqing, who is not a cat slave, can't help but want to step forward and pet her.
"Xiao Pei, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Tachibana raised his head from the bowl, with a broken noodle stuck to his hairy cheek.
"Is this Brother Ju's cousin?"
The hybrid of the pastoral cat and Jin Jianli sat up straight, looked at Pei Mengqing, and said hello:
"Hello, my name is Xiaori."
