"Haha, long time no see. What brought the three of you here?"
Ye Ming laughed and stepped forward, his behavior was very exaggerated.
Seeing this, Mu Zhi had waved and said hello just now, but now she jumped back and hid behind Ren Rui.
Ren Rui didn't hide, he smiled and stepped forward. He thought Ye Ming would give him a hug, but he didn't expect that the other party just circled around him and Mu Zhi, but instead walked to Jing Zhou Lao Dao and put his arms around him. .
"Brother Jingzhou, long time no see!"
Old Taoist Jingzhou was surprised to see that this person didn't care about the turbidity on his body that had not yet been cleaned up, and was in contact with him like this:
"Friend Shan Yuan, long time no see."
Hearing Master Jingzhou call himself a fellow Taoist, Ye Ming immediately turned around and said to Ren Rui and Mu Zhi:
"Did you hear that your master called me fellow Taoist? Why don't you call me uncle to hear it?"
When Mu Zhi heard this, her face fell, she turned her head and ignored him.
Ren Rui smiled slightly and didn't care about it.
After the two parties met, Ye Ming enthusiastically took them to a nearby restaurant, ordered a large table of wine and food, and chatted with them while eating.
Miss Shen also followed, but basically didn't speak.
However, after Master Jingzhou looked at Miss Shen for a few times, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"There's something unusual about this girl!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have noticed her problem, Miss Shen asked:
"What did the Taoist priest see?"
Old Taoist Jingzhou shook his head and said:
"Well, Pindao sees that you are a blessed person, with a full destiny and a rosy face. I guess you are carefree and live a happy life."
When Miss Shen heard this, she politely showed a professional fake smile.
Seeing this, Master Jingzhou knew that he was right and nodded proudly.
Seeing this, Mu Zhi silently lowered her head and ate her food.
With such a master, I suddenly felt so embarrassed.
Ye Ming enthusiastically took Old Dao Jingzhou to eat and drink, and took the opportunity to ask about what happened after they separated last time.
In fact, there is not much to say.
The three of them were exorcising evil spirits along the way.
It's just that most of the monsters I encounter are not strong, and there are almost no powerful ghosts.
It's strange to say that in today's troubled times and with so many ghosts coming out of the underworld, it should be easy to find powerful ghosts, but so far, the ghosts they have seen along the way are not very strong.
All those powerful ghosts seemed to be hiding.
Then they talked about the old servant again.
Knowing that the master behind the old servant had taken action to rescue him, Old Taoist Jingzhou frowned and said:
"Pindao feels that the master behind this old servant must be a vicious, cruel, cold-blooded being who likes to watch those close to him kill each other."
Mu Zhi silently picked up a piece of meat for the master and asked him to eat more and talk less.
Ren Rui smiled and said:
"Brother Shanyuan won't really let the old servant get away easily. If my guess is correct, you should have a way to find the lair of the evil behind the scenes."
"Senior nephew Ren Rui is indeed smart, but please remember to call me uncle."
When Miss Shen saw Ye Ming admitting that he had a solution, she looked at him without surprise.
She knew that this cheap brother was by no means a simple person.
Later, Ye Ming talked about the strange turtle in Sui Lake.
After Master Jingzhou learned about it, he was helpless.
People have luck protecting their bodies, but they really don’t have any good solutions.
After the two parties chatted for a while, Ye Ming saw that they had almost eaten, so he took Miss Shen to leave first.
The three of them watched.
Later, the three of them, Mr. Jingzhou, who were full of wine and food, got up and were about to leave, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Guys, you haven't paid for your meal yet?"
"Meal money? Didn't the two people who left just now treat us? They didn't pay for it?"
Mu Zhi asked in surprise.
"But that young master said it was your treat?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the direction Ye Ming and the two left and said.
When Mu Zhi heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth:
"Master...is this guy really a senior?"
"this......"
...
Ye Ming and Miss Shen went all the way to He Shichuan's house. As soon as they arrived outside the door, they saw the concierge coming out to greet them and inviting them in.
He Shichuan had just returned to the house not long ago. When he heard that the two men were here, he immediately invited them to the living room to talk.
He was accompanied by his eldest son, a young man with a passable appearance.
He Shichuan first talked about the case of Mr. Chen’s patricide. Since the case lacked important witnesses and Mr. Chen had a background, it was difficult for the county magistrate to judge. He directly sent the person back to the Chen family and asked the Chen family to handle it according to family law. this matter.
When he learned that the magistrate chose non-stick pans, Ye Ming just smiled and said nothing.
Later, He Shichuan talked about going to watch outside Sui Lake.
He is already preparing pigs, muttons and other meats. When the time comes, these things can be used as sacrifices for the turtle monsters to appear and eat.
Although it is generally said that after the monster is full, the number of injuries will be much less, but it is not without precedent, and He Shichuan is still a little worried.
Miss Shen asked:
"Since the monster can eat sacrifices, has no one tried poisoning it?"
“It’s been tried, someone has tried it a long time ago.
It's just that the monster seemed to be invulnerable to all poisons. At that time, several large jars of arsenic were mixed in the sacrifices, and they were all eaten by it, but nothing happened.
If the monster didn't know arsenic and didn't know it was poison, I don't know how many people would have been killed by its anger! "
He Shichuan had obviously thought about this method, but when he heard it was ineffective, he had to give up.
After hearing this, Miss Shen had no idea what to do for a while and planned to go outside Suihu Lake to see the situation tomorrow.
That night, both of them stayed at He Mansion.
Mr. He seemed to have taken a liking to Miss Shen and was very attentive to her, helping her with everything.
In this regard, Miss Shen's refusal was very clear, but this person was not very thick-skinned and felt a bit like a beggar.
I have to say that although this person is average-looking, he is really rich if he is rich. The quilt that Miss Shen rests on at night has been replaced with goose down, and other appliances are even more exquisite.
If it were another woman, she would probably give in when faced with such a money offensive.
It's just that Miss Shen is not an ordinary person and remains unmoved.
Early the next morning, He Shichuan took a group of servants and many sacrifices, and invited Ye Ming and Miss Shen to go to Suihu to check.
When his son saw this, he wanted to go with him in order to show his masculinity.
He Shichuan did not hesitate to scold his son and strictly ordered him to stay at home.
Going out this time is always risky.
If he died at the hands of a monster, at least he would still have a son to inherit the family business.
If father and son are finished together, then their He family is really finished.
After all, Mr. He was somewhat wise. He did not disobey his father's words just because of the woman. He stayed here obediently and did not act like a monster.
The He Shichuan family's team swaggered out of the city. Many people in the city saw this scene and started talking about it.
Some of the bold ones came forward to ask directly, and everyone was delighted to learn that He Shichuan planned to find a way to eliminate the evil turtle king.
But there are also many people who are pessimistic about this.
Over the years, the monster has been wreaking havoc in Sui Lake. Everyone has tried many methods, but to no avail.
I don’t know if Mr. He can succeed this time.
Many people who had nothing to do followed along.
He Shichuan led everyone to the hillside three miles away from Sui Lake to watch. He paid a lot of money and ordered four strong men to go boating in the lake and throw out sacrifices.
Those four people knew that they would probably never come back, so they all made arrangements for their funeral arrangements in advance.
The reward He Shichuan gave them was enough for his family to survive.
The four people loaded the sacrifices into the boat, sailed to the lake, and began to scatter the sacrifices.
As the sacrifices were thrown down, even from a distance, everyone on the hillside could see a huge black shadow appearing at the bottom of the lake.
The black shadow swam in the water and ate all the pigs and sheep that fell down.
After a while, it was seen emerging from the water.
It turned out to be a giant turtle even bigger than a boat.
The giant turtle continued to eat the sacrifices thrown by several people, but it seemed that its patience was limited. It disliked the people who threw them too slowly, and actually bumped into the boat.
The hull of the boat was shattered, two of the four strong men were killed on the spot, and the other two also fell into the water.
One of them was hit on the head by a broken board and fell unconscious in the water.
Only the last person tried his best to swim to the shore. Fortunately, the giant turtle only wanted to eat and had no intention of chasing him, so he was able to save his life and come back.
The other three people, along with the sacrifices, were all devoured by the giant turtle.
Everyone watching from a distance was horrified when they saw this. Although the monster did not come ashore, many people still ran away in fear and did not dare to stay here.
He Shichuan also looked at Ye Ming with a pale face:
"Mr. Shanyuan, look at this..."
"Don't ask me, it depends on my little sister."
Ye Minghao irresponsibly shirked responsibility.
To be honest, He Shichuan didn't really believe in Miss Shen. He came here mainly to see what Ye Ming had to say.
At this time, I had no choice but to cast a questioning look at Miss Shen.
Miss Shen did not respond to He Shichuan, but stared at the giant turtle gradually disappearing into the lake, thoughtfully.
Seeing this, He Shichuan wanted to stop asking, but he forcibly stopped. He did not dare to speak and looked at Miss Shen nervously.
After a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on Miss Shen's lips. She looked at Sui Hu and said slowly:
"Brother is right, everything depends on people. This monster can be removed with our own human power."
He Shichuan was greatly surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what he had thought of, so he asked.
Miss Shen just smiled and said:
"Master He believes in my words, so please do as I say and keep it to get rid of this monster."
When He Shichuan heard this, he nodded repeatedly. For him, as long as he could get rid of this monster, he would not hesitate to lose everything!
After that, everyone returned to Hongsui County, and He Shichuan started to act according to what Miss Shen said.
First buy 20,000 jins of noodles, then 5,000 jins of sugar, 50 pigs, cattle and sheep, and finally, 100,000 jins of iron.
He Shichuan used his face and connections to activate the government's iron-making bureau to melt all 100,000 kilograms of iron into finger-sized iron pellets.
He also invited a large group of people to knead flour with sugar and make dumplings and steamed buns.
Except for meat, all dumplings and steamed buns must be filled with an iron bead.
On this trip, He Shichuan spent countless connections, face, and money, and mobilized hundreds of people to help, making the incident known to everyone in Hongsui County.
It took half a month to make enough dumplings and steamed buns to fill four large ships.
During the past half month, Miss Shen has been helping to look around and check for errors and omissions.
Mr. He also took the opportunity to follow her as a follower, constantly trying to please her.
Seeing this, He Shichuan did not reprimand his son, but instead supported him somewhat.
During this time, he also discovered that Miss Shen's abilities were really incredible.
My son is incompetent. After I leave in the future, I don’t know what the He family will be like.
It would be great if I could have a good wife.
Seeing that Miss Shen had no intention, He Shichuan was also a little worried.
Seeing that all the preliminary preparations were completed, Miss Shen informed He Shichuan that he could start to eliminate the demon.
When things got to this point, He Shichuan naturally knew Miss Shen's plan.
Recruit eight strong men again to take charge of sailing.
Among these eight people, one was the one who was lucky enough to survive last time.
He Shichuan did not break his promise last time, and afterwards he paid a large sum of money to thank several of them who dared to die.
The families of those who died benefited more than the living ones.
This man was not afraid of death and just wanted to earn more money for his family. Knowing that He Shichuan kept his word and would not break his promise, he applied again at this time.
This time, almost all the people in the city came out in full force to watch the demon slaying in Sui Lake.
Even the county magistrate was protected by a group of government officials and followed him from a distance...
