The back of Gu Ning'an leaving calmly formed a sharp contrast with Zheng De who followed closely.
The storyteller pinched a fennel bean and put it into his mouth. He looked at the waiter not far away and said with a smile: "It seems that there are still some courageous people in your Lexiang County... That man in Qingshan Sir, I’m really not afraid at all.”
"Sir, you don't know something. This Mr. Qingshan is a famous person in Ansi Courtyard." The waiter responded with a proud look on his face.
The storyteller asked with interest: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what does he do?"
"This... I also heard what the onlookers at the back said..." Having said this, the waiter came closer and lowered his voice and said: "Some people say that he is a god... ."
"Ha..." The storyteller laughed dryly, but did not answer the question again. After all, he himself tells stories about "strange people and strange things." It is completely understandable for the public to spread random thoughts and rumors based on some small details.
The waiter in the shop was also very discerning, so when he saw that the storyteller didn't believe him, he naturally walked away knowingly.
On the other side, Gu Ning'an, who had walked out of the teahouse, led Zheng De towards Ansi's courtyard.
"Mr. Gu, did you find anything?" Zheng De asked in a low voice.
Gu Ning'an responded as he walked: "I didn't find anything special, so there's nothing wrong with Mr. Storyteller."
When Zheng De heard this, his face became even more sad: "What about my dream and my wife's habit of eating raw meat..."
"Don't panic... Is it possible that your wife can still eat you?" Gu Ning'an's joking words made Zheng De even more frightened, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing this situation, Gu Ning'an took out a copper coin from his waist, handed it to Zheng De, and said calmly: "Take this copper coin, hold it in the palm of your hand before going to sleep today...I don't I’m sure your nightmares won’t come back, but at least you won’t be eaten by something.”
After taking the copper coin, Zheng De found that it was no different from an ordinary copper plate. However, having seen Gu Ning'an's ability, he also trusted Gu Ning'an and hurriedly put the copper coin into his lapel.
"Thank you sir!"
"Do you think my wife is possessed by evil spirits?"
Zheng De asked dully.
Gu Ning'an smiled and said: "An Xin, if there is really an evil spirit possessing you, the copper coins in your hand will protect your life."
Hearing this, Zheng De paused for a moment before speaking: "Then this won't hurt my wife, right? How about, sir, come with me to see her?"
"I won't go there for the time being... This copper coin only hurts evil spirits. If your wife hadn't been there, there would be no problem." At a fork in the road, Gu Ning'an stopped and said, "Let's separate here. You first Let's go back."
"Okay..." After responding, Zheng De turned around and walked in the direction of his home. After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked: "Mr. Gu, what if my wife is evil? How can I fix it..."
There was no one behind Zheng De. Just by turning around, Gu Ningan disappeared.
In desperation, Zheng De had no choice but to touch the copper coins on his chest and walked home with a sad face.
..."I wonder what Mr. Gu's sudden visit is about?" As he said that, Xu Chenghuang raised his hand and poured a cup of hot tea for Gu Ning'an.
Gu Ning'an said in a deep voice: "There may be a big chaos in Xiangzhou counties."
Seeing Gu Ning'an being so serious, Xu Chenghuang's heart sank and he asked hurriedly: "Sir, what happened?"
After hearing this, Gu Ning'an wasted no time and directly conveyed everything he saw today and what he had speculated to Xu Chenghuang.
First of all, the storyteller from Gucheng County can match the time when the "real demon" went into hiding. This story comes from a dream... It is quite easy for a real demon to convey the spirit through dreams. .
Secondly, when he was listening to a book in the teahouse, there was something Gu Ningan didn't say or reveal.
That is, after the wife in the story was taken off the red cloth hijab, everyone present except him became ashamed!
It was pitch dark everywhere in the teahouse, and no one noticed that they or the people around them, like the protagonist in the story, had lost their faces.
The people who lost their faces also included Zheng De beside Gu Ning'an!
That's why he didn't say much about it.
When everyone lost their facial features, Gu Ning'an felt a familiar demonic intention from everyone - that demonic intention happened to be consistent with the one emanating from the demonic flame... However, , after the storyteller finished speaking, the demonic intent on everyone disappeared. No matter what method Gu Ningan used to explore, he could not find the hidden demonic intent...
"Mr. Gu, this matter is very serious. I will report it to Marquis Lingyou immediately!" After hearing this, Xu Chenghuang ignored any etiquette and dropped a single sentence to pass the news to Marquis Lingyou in the special way of messenger from the underworld.
After Lingyouhou learned about it, he immediately ordered the city gods of other counties to investigate the matter thoroughly!
Only half an hour later, the information found by various counties was sent back to Xu Chenghuang again.
Xu Chenghuang received the news, but instead of reading it himself, he took it to the secret room and watched it with Gu Ning'an.
A stick of light golden incense was lit, and the green smoke slowly turned into lines of large characters in mid-air.
[Nine counties in Xiangzhou and even Xiangzhou County have discovered storytellers telling stories about the faceless demon! 】
[The city gods observed with their Dharma eyes and determined that when the storyteller was telling the story, everyone in the scene had a brief "disappearance"! 】
[Everyone in the scene, no matter male, female, old or young, all exude a faint sense of magic after "losing their appearance"...]
[Each city god randomly inspected dozens of people in his territory, using the method to search for the souls of heaven, earth, and humans, and all of them found demonic intentions...]
Click!
After Xu Chenghuang read it, he couldn't help but crush the tea cup in his hand, and the hot tea flowed down the seams of his hands: "What a crime... What a crime! Could it be that the people in the nine counties and even the county in Xiangzhou were planted early?" Bewitched?"
Gu Ning'an was silent for a moment, and then said: "The devil's intention is different from the devil's flame. It is hidden in a way that makes it difficult for people to see it at a glance. The tricky thing is that if it is not visible, to eradicate it, it must be eradicated with magical power. Exploring the three souls of heaven, earth and man of those with demonic intentions!"
"There may be hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangzhou counties. It is obviously impossible to use magic to eliminate them one by one!"
"What's more, if the demonic intent is eradicated, if the real demon uses its own means to trigger the demonic intent to explode, then the entire Xiangzhou will instantly become a demonic land!"
Xu Chenghuang, who had an ugly face, nodded and said, "I'm afraid even Lingyouhou Hou can't solve this matter... The fact that he came with a message but didn't say anything about solving the problem of law enforcement proves that he is also helpless... However, he will definitely report this matter to Fucheng Huang, and he can only see if there are any countermeasures from above..."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an nodded and said, "Well, if there is any other news, I would like Xu Chenghuang to inform you. I will go ahead and make some preparations."
Xu Chenghuang cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Gu, walk slowly!"
