After digesting Mr. Hai's essence, Ao Xue finally grew two small horns on his head. She touched her own horns and was so happy that she almost burst into laughter.
At the same time, several reminders sounded in Zhang Xiu's mind.
[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released Xi Fangping and rewarded him with twenty years of life]
[God has the virtue of good life. You successfully released the dream tapir and rewarded you with a life span of three thousand years]
[God is kind to you, you have successfully released a fox demon, and you will be rewarded with three hundred years of experience in stealing chickens]
[God has the virtue of good life, and you successfully released a fox demon and rewarded you with three hundred years of experience in the art of living in the room]
[God is kind to you, you successfully released a fox demon, and you will be rewarded with three hundred years of experience in alchemy]
Looking at the long list of prompts, Zhang Xiu was confused for a while. When did he release more than a dozen fox demons?
Walking to the third courtyard in a daze, Zhang Xiu saw that the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard had disappeared, and only Lady Lotus Sanni sat alone by the pond, looking lost. She stepped forward full of doubts and asked: "Three Madams" Madam, why are you the only one left in this yard, where are the other fox demons?"
Sanniangzi gave him a resentful look and said, "Others saw you burning Mr. Hai's yard, and ran away with the yard on your shoulders overnight..."
Zhang Xiu was stunned after hearing this: "@#￥%￥#@..."
These foxes are actually afraid of a kind person like me... This is too cowardly!
Zhang Xiu showed an innocent expression and said, "What are your plans? Do you want to continue living here?"
Sanniangzi said helplessly: "There's no one here anyway. I'm going to buy a boat and move to the lake."
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Well, the scenery on the lake is much better than here, and there is a lot of water there. Even if you wash your feet, you can't smoke the fish."
The third lady clenched her fists in anger: "..."
My feet really don’t stink!
At this time, the figure of the female ghost Xiao Xie appeared in the shadow under the tree. She looked at Zhang Xiu with some confusion: "So you are here to catch monsters. I have been worried all night in vain."
Zhang Xiu smiled, took out a piece of talisman paper, and said, "This is the Yang-Returning Talisman given to me by the Imperial Master. It allows you to use the corpse to revive the soul. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can take it."
Xiao Xie was stunned for a moment, and then said with a happy face: "Thank you, Master!" As he said this, a gust of wind blew up, and he took the talisman paper in his hand.
After holding the talisman and looking left and right for a while, Xiao Xie asked curiously: "Sir, how do you use this talisman?"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "Hey, I didn't know that!"
Xiao Xie: "..."
Then what's the use of giving me this thing?
After writing a letter and asking Xiao Xie to take the letter to the national master, Taoist Xuantian, Zhang Xiu received two more reminders one after another.
[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released Xiao Xie and rewarded you with twenty years of embroidery experience]
[God has the virtue of good life, you successfully released the lotus lady Sanniang, and rewarded you with three hundred years of experience in picking lotus]
After Zhang Xiu looked at it, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not an experience of picking chrysanthemums...
Not long after, Zhang Xiu drove an ox cart to the county government office.
Looking at the officials at the yamen gate, Zhang Xiu reported his identity and entered the county yamen.
In the lobby, the county magistrate was reviewing the case.
A scholar was held down by a yamen servant, and the board fell down with a bang. He didn't cry out in pain, but groaned with indignation on his face.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the scholar, who was Xi Fangping whom he met in the underworld yesterday, waved his hand and said, "Stop!"
The magistrate of Lanxi's surname was Dou, and his name was Dou Jiang. He was a fat man with a fat head, big ears, and a shiny face. According to Zhang Xiu's estimate, he weighed at least three hundred pounds.
When he recognized the person as Zhang Xiu, Magistrate Dou was startled. He asked his master to help him up, and hurriedly saluted, "I didn't know you were coming, so I missed you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Zhang Xiu bowed his hands in greeting, came to sit behind the table, and asked: "Who is the person being tortured in the hall, and why did County Magistrate Dou torture him?"
Magistrate Dou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "This unruly man's name is Xi Fangping. He sued the sheep rich man from his hometown and bribed the city god and the kid to beat his father in the underworld. Sir, do you think this is ridiculous?"
Zhang Xiudao: "What's ridiculous about this? Since there is a plaintiff and a defendant, the case must be tried. If you can't try it, let me come! Come on, capture the rich sheep man and the local city god. I want to Go to court for questioning!"
Magistrate Dou: "..."
I almost forgot, the person in front of me has examined ghosts!
but……
Magistrate Dou said with a wry smile: "Sir, the rich man Sheep is easy to talk to. We can send a servant to pick him up, but the City God... Where should we find him?"
Zhang Xiu sneered: "Bring me his statue, and give me two hundred whips first! If he doesn't come, I will demolish his City God's Temple. Under my rule, I will not tolerate evil deities!"
When Xi Fangping heard this, he shouted excitedly: "Master Qingtian is wise!"
Magistrate Dou: "..."
The two people in front of me really dare to accuse and the other dare to interrogate!
After struggling for a moment, Magistrate Dou bravely led people to the City God's Temple to move the statue of the City God to the court hall.
After hearing the news, the people came to join in the fun one after another. Ao Xue was selling melon seeds and snacks at the front, making a lot of money, and collected the money with a smile.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the hall and saw that the plaintiff and defendant were all present. He clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Shengtang!"
Mighty voices rang out from both sides of the lobby. The rich man Yang shivered with guilt, glanced at the statue of the City God beside him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are all masters, the City God should not be afraid of the Qingtian Master, right?
Zhang Xiu asked loudly: "Xi Fangping, who are you suing?"
Xi Fangping straightened his back and said righteously: "Sir, the common people are suing the sheep rich man for bribing the ghost soldiers to kill my father! The city god is corrupt, perverts the law, and accepts bribes!"
Zhang Xiu turned to look at Rich Sheep: "Rich Sheep, can you plead guilty?"
The rich man Yang said with an innocent face: "My lord, I know it's true, how can I get the common people to plead guilty to such a false accusation? Xi Fangping is clearly falsely accusing the common people!"
Zhang Xiu's eyes moved to the statue of the City God: "As for you, if you don't show up, I'm going to rob...I'll collect your sesame oil money and burn down your City God's Temple!"
City God: "..."
You just said grab it! !
The City God appeared with an angry look on his face, stood in the hall, and stared at Zhang Xiu: "When will it be your turn as a judge in the underworld to judge my case in the underworld?"
Zhang Xiu sneered: "Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy that I...there is someone above me!"
The City God was stunned for a moment. He raised his face and looked above his head. He saw a bearded man squatting on the beam with a look of despair on his face.
This...there really is someone up there!
