There is a saying.
The so-called magic is to use one's own spirit or actions to influence and interfere with all things in nature.
If so, farming is a magic, construction is a magic, speech is a magic, money is also a magic, and it is an extremely powerful and immediate magic.
On April 19, the government issued a heavy reward and ordered Wang Liuzhi to parade through the streets to praise his achievements, which made the whole city rejoice. That night, nineteen monsters made trouble, and one of them was waiting for Li Chang'an. The rest were under strict curfew in the city, and the young and strong families strictly guarded their doors and helped each other. All the monsters were repelled, and only a few died.
On April 20th, the demon once again ate people at night. A mountain hunter set a trap in the city and captured one of the demon. The government rewarded him heavily.
On April 21, Wang Liuzhi and others organized the evil youths in the city to form a team to hunt down monsters at night. Whatever you gain will be generously rewarded.
…
On April 29th, the citizens were delighted when they heard about the monster and actually chased each other to death.
Water moon view.
Deep in the back mountain.
The bloody doctor was hung on the stone wall by a big iron hook. In front of his face, Bo Ziyu read the above content literally.
"Do you hear me clearly? All your demon descendants will be hunted down in less than half a day! If you are sensible, you should quickly explain what you need to explain, so as not to suffer from the pain of peeling and cramping every day."
Bo Ziyu smiled broadly and shook the booklet in his hand.
But even though he was laughing so hard that his mouth was frozen, all he got in exchange was a voice from the leader of the monsters - the doctor:
"Bah."
Just a sneer.
The bright look on the detective's face quickly turned gloomy, and he grabbed the water-stained whip next to him.
After a while.
Bo Ziyu stormed out of the cave angrily.
Not far from the entrance of the cave, on a stone pier, Li Changan and Feng Chong were drinking.
He sat down on the banquet, picked up a wine bowl, and poured wine into his belly.
Li Changan raised his eyebrows.
"What did it say?"
"Not even a damn thing!"
Bo Ziyu looked unhappy.
The situation in the city is certainly not as optimistic as he said.
The government's silver bullet offensive has certainly aroused the enthusiasm of Xiaoshui people, but after all, it is to kill monsters, not to chase chickens and dogs. Whenever monsters come out at night, there will be casualties in the city, but the wealth and silk are attractive, and the shining silver light is temporarily confusing. , it just makes people unable to see the blood and tears shed by the deceased.
What's more, after ten days, although several monsters were killed, how could they hide them? Where is it lurking? Can the demon plague be cured? These key issues still yielded nothing, and instead caused many unexpected troubles.
For example, some gangs fight over monsters; a businessman falsely accuses his colleagues of being monsters and takes the opportunity to smash up their shops; some gossipy women dare to come to the Yamen to ask for rewards... and so on, which makes Bo Ziyu angry. Too much trouble.
Feng Chong, who was hiding in the mountains, was not alone.
In order to protect their homes or catch monsters, people often go up the mountain to seek talismans.
He didn't refuse at first, but more and more people came to ask for talismans, until he found that he did nothing else for the whole day and just used it to draw talismans, which could not satisfy the needs of the public.
He simply stayed behind closed doors. Who would have thought that those who asked for the talisman but could not get it actually paid attention to the talisman used to arrange the magic circle in the temple. For a while, the Shuiyue Temple was frequently stolen.
Li Chang'an even heard that there is a black market for buying and selling talismans in the city. A talisman is worth more than silver, and some unscrupulous people have already started to produce counterfeit products.
As for Taoist Li himself, he often keeps vigil in the city, and of course he has to do these troublesome things.
On weekdays, when he goes out on the street, there are always people approaching him, asking him in various ways where the monsters are, or inviting him to cooperate in hunting monsters.
And just last night, he encountered the trace of a monster. Before he could catch it, a group of "monster catchers" appeared first. They were all a husband and wife team. The men were responsible for rounding up the monster, and the women were responsible for clearing the area and blocking the roads. What did they say? We saw the monster first," and "What kind of money do monks have to steal?" It turned out that the monster was a powerful character. After such a delay, most of the women in this group became widows.
All in all, it's all bullshit.
After working hard for several days, Li Changan finally found some free time, and Li Changan didn't want to let these bad things ruin his mood.
He filled the wine bowls for Bo Ziyu and Feng Chong one by one.
Facing the cold wind in the mountains and forests.
"Drink full."
…………
That night.
A warehouse in the backyard of a certain grain store.
There were a dozen men lurking in the darkness.
Maybe it was because my hands and feet were numb from squatting in the corner, or maybe my balls hurt from being bitten by mosquitoes, but a voice suddenly sounded, showing impatience.
"Shopkeeper Pan, is there really a monster sneaking into your warehouse in the middle of the night?"
Another voice immediately retorted: "Seeing it with my own eyes, how can it be false?"
"That's weird! There are people all over the street (Harmony) who don't eat meat, but they come here to steal the rotten chaff from you?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's a rat that has become a spirit and is a coward."
"What if it's a little thief who fainted from hunger?"
"Bah! Impossible! I recognize that monster. The boy at the noodle shop on the street can't even fill his stomach with noodles, and he comes to steal my rice. He has such a huge appetite, he is definitely a monster!"
The two sang in harmony, their voices getting louder and louder, which made Wang Liuzhi feel angry.
After "parading his merits", he relied on his reputation as a "demon-killing hero" and poured out the money in his hands. Soon he gathered a group of scoundrels who dared to behead people and hunted monsters at night. This is a God-given opportunity to earn a fortune!
Unfortunately, I had bad luck. After a few days, I didn't even touch a demon hair. Instead, I had a few fierce battles with my colleagues and lost a lot of money for soups and medicines.
Today I finally heard reliable news from the shopkeeper. It was not dark yet, so I gathered people to ambush me and fed the long-legged mosquitoes for half a night, just to fight for a turnaround. I couldn't let these two idiots mess with it. Got it!
He immediately shouted in a low voice:
"Shut up! Don't scare away the monster."
However, perhaps it was because he had failed to achieve success for several days, or perhaps because rumors of falsely claiming credit gradually spread, which actually caused his prestige in the team to be greatly reduced. These two birdmen didn't care about Wang Liuye's face at all. On the contrary, they became more and more violent as they quarreled.
Good thing.
A small flag suddenly flew up from the window seat and was waved three times quickly.
That was the code given by the brother watching the wind by the window.
There's movement!
The initial noise immediately disappeared, and everyone was breathless and focused.
Crunch~
The door slowly opened a small crack.
Immediately afterwards.
A thin figure leaned in.
It was dark inside the warehouse and it was difficult to see the face of the person coming in. He could only see his outline and kept shaking his head, alert to the movement inside and outside the warehouse.
Wang Liuzhi lowered his body more and more, wishing he could hold his heart and make it beat slower and quieter.
Wang Liuzhi waited patiently, waiting for the figure to lower his guard, waiting for him to close the door and sneak into the warehouse, waiting for him to bury his head in a bag of rice and make some "swishy" gnawing sounds.
It's now!
Wang Liuzhi was about to give orders loudly, but there was a loud shout from the side.
"Do it!"
time.
A dozen men jumped out from hiding in every corner.
Those who beat gongs and shouted, those who lit torches to drive them away, and those who stabbed and slashed with swords and guns. They were shouting and shouting in a mess without any order.
The "monster" actually made the "monster" run around, got out of the crowd, and headed straight for the door.
Wang Liuzhi ignored his anger and stopped in front of the door with a long stride, waving the torch in his hand.
call!
The person who suddenly burst into flames.
He looks like a skinny kid and extremely ugly.
An overly broad forehead occupies most of the face, a pair of soybean-sized eyes embedded behind a huge nose, and the front teeth sticking out of the lips almost cover the short chin.
He looks like a big rat!
Wang Liuzhi was not surprised but happy.
good! good! good! It is indeed a monster!
He quickly shouted:
"net."
The hot-blooded men suddenly realized that they shook down the special thick net ropes. There was not much open space in the warehouse, and the "rat spirit" had no place to hide, and he was immediately trapped.
Wang Liuzhi stared at the monster in the net happily, like staring at a ball of struggling silver, his eyes gleaming.
But we can't let it run away.
Pick up the whistle stick and hit it on the head!
…………
There was quite a lot of shouting and killing.
When Wang Liuzhi and his gang tied up the rat with a bruised nose and swollen face, he carried it out the door.
Not only the neighbors, but also colleagues came to hear the news.
"Hey, Mr. Six, it's time to open up. Congratulations."
"Rejoice together and rejoice together."
"Master Six is going to get rich again!"
"It's just a small amount of money."
Wang Liuzhi walked at the front of the team with a shy belly, greeting the people around him carelessly. He was as bad as he was in the past, but now he is so arrogant.
It's so cold.
A howling woman suddenly emerged from the crowd of onlookers, and started beating the man who stopped her.
Wang Liuzhi was displeased:
"Who is this bitch?"
Shopkeeper Pan next to him took a closer look and said with a smile: "It's not someone else, it's Mouse Jing's mother."
Wang Liuzhi was startled at first, but when he came back, he found that the woman was just cursing and scratching. Except for her butt (Harmony) being rounder, her waist softer, and her face prettier, she was no different from an ordinary city shrew.
"Hey, I came just in time. Maybe he was reluctant to let go of the baby and didn't report the knowledge, so he happened to be arrested and taken to the Yamen."
With that said, he strode up, snatched the woman up, and carried her on his shoulders.
A big wave of his hand, full of ambition.
"Let's go! Receive the reward from the Yamen!"
