"You know, evil is brewing."
"Is this Qinghe County? Fate tells me that the person I am looking for is here."
At this time, a girl half-dressed in Tsing Yi was standing in front of the suburban monument in the north of Qinghe County.
The girl has a graceful figure, two braids hanging from her ears, and she is dressed like a Taoist cultivator.
The clothes are plain, the sleeves are wide, and only a white jade-like wrist is exposed between the robes.
Although she looks young, her face is flawless, her waist is slender, and her temperament is superb.
The most impressive thing is that the girl's left hand is holding a yellow flag that is taller than her body, with the message "The iron mouth is cut straight, the fate is immortal."
At this time, she was looking solemnly at the somewhat cold Qinghe County gate not far away, silently.
"Girl, girl."
The driver on the side finally couldn't bear it when he saw that the passenger he was carrying had not paid for a long time after arriving at the destination.
"Qinghe County has arrived, it's time for you to pay."
"Oh, sorry, sorry, this is the fare, please keep it."
The girl, who had a serious face at first, finally came to her senses when she heard the coachman's voice. She quickly took out a piece of silver from the purse in her arms and gave it to the coachman.
"Girl, you gave me too much, I can't find it anymore!"
"It's okay, then there's no need to look for it. This is what you deserve, old man."
Yun Ranmo turned her head and looked at the sky. She felt that she must be very chic at this moment, but as a Taoist disciple, she should have been responsible for saving the world.
Although he is just an old man driving a car now, his meager strength must be able to help him.
The driver who was driving the carriage looked at the girl in front of him strangely. He just thought that there was something wrong with the girl's brain because she was always asking for money.
However, this piece of silver could never catch up with what he usually earns in a month, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to give it up.
But seeing that this girl was only as old as the niece of his second aunt Wang next door, the coachman still kindly reminded Yun Ranmo.
"Girl, although I don't know why you came to Qinghe County, I still want to remind you a few words."
Yun Ranmo's eyes lit up as she held the yellow banner. Her master was indeed right. Good people are rewarded. If she hadn't been so generous just now, she would not have gotten the information proactively provided by this old man.
"Old man, please tell me, is there some unparalleled demon cultivator in Qinghe County, or is there some evil person causing trouble?
"I see that in this county, there are so few passers-by, there must be a big problem..."
"To be honest, I am a fourth-level Taoist cultivator. I came here today because I had foreseen that the troubled devil with a human face and a beastly heart in Qinghe County would appear! "
The driver on the side looked at the Taoist girl who was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Although it is a bit surprising that the girl in front of him is a fourth-level ninth-level practitioner at such a young age, what he wants to say is not unfair.
When Yun Ranmo finally calmed down, the coachman shook his head helplessly.
"Girl, you misunderstood. Qinghe County is very good, but..."
"Just what? Old man, you can rest assured that in such a cold and cold county, either the government and the common people are at the mercy of the people, or there are evil spirits at work."
"Today, I will make the decision for you!"
The old coachman looked at the upright girl and was speechless for a moment.
Why does a girl with such a delicate appearance feel like her brain is not working well...
"Qinghe County is very good. The nearby people are famous for their simple folk customs..."
The coachman looked at the girl in front of him helplessly and spoke in a deep voice...
"This is Qinghe County, he is too poor!"
"poverty?"
Yun Ranmo tilted his head, obviously not understanding what the coachman meant.
Unfortunately, at this time, the coachman no longer wanted to get into trouble and drove away...
But it doesn’t matter.
The girl in green holding the "Iron Cut Straight Cut" once again set her sights on the gate of Qinghe County not far away.
She is a fourth-level life cultivator at Jiuliu Dao Sect. She practices destiny and knows cause and effect.
Today I am coming to Qinghe County to eliminate demons and protect the people of the world!
There is God's will in the dark. Anyone who practices Taoism and does good deeds will get good results, but if he does evil deeds, there will be no good ending!
Fate told her that there was a man with an animal face and a manipulating evil spirit in the Qinghe County right in front of her.
…
In Qinghe County, near noon, Jia Mingan started his daily routine.
In short, patrol.
By the way, let’s collect some more “protection fees” for today.
"Hey, little Mr. Jia, are you here to collect protection money again?"
"This is the cabbage I just picked today, please put it away, hehe."
Taking the fresh cabbage from the roadside vegetable vendor, Jia Mingan nodded, feeling a little helpless.
Yes, this is the protection fee collected by their Tiger Gang every day.
Qinghe County is located in a remote area. It is just a small remote county among the hundreds of thousands of mountains in southern Xinjiang. There are only one or two thousand households in total.
The roads in the county are criss-crossed. In total, there are only six main streets and a dozen alleys.
Qing'an Street under Jia Mingan's jurisdiction is one of the six streets in Qinghe County.
It can be said that anyone who has some plans for their future goals will not stay in this small and big county.
After all, this is a place where gangsters can only collect cabbage when collecting protection money.
After all, in a place like Qinghe County, even if you have money, you can't spend it.
Not to mention the brothels and red houses that were standard in ancient times, even the restaurants on the street are just ordinary farmhouses. It is better for him to cook at home.
The fake gang leader in the novel spends his days eating meat and fish in restaurants, licking blood between knives, and at night he can go to the brothel to take care of the madam's business.
After time travel, the real gang leader patrols the streets every day, collecting "protection money" from the surrounding vendors like his mother begging for food.
He is a dignified young man of the 21st century, traveling through the fantasy world with a golden finger.
And then do this?
One of the things that impressed Jia Mingan the most was that when he was ten years old, the first red house in the county where people could listen to music and make music finally opened in the east of Qinghe County.
A month later, this entertainment venue that dared to eat the first batch of crabs closed down due to poor management.
From then on, those young ladies were no longer seen in Qinghe County.
After all, as the saying goes, who the hell is doing the entertainment industry in a small county town?
The folk customs in Qinghe County are quite simple, and their daily lives are peaceful and safe.
I work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Because I can basically be self-sufficient, I have very little communication with the outside world.
Normally, few outsiders would come to such a secluded place. Even the government only symbolically arranged for a second-level "Confucian scholar" to come and act as the county magistrate.
Jia Mingan continued walking on Qing'an Street. After a while, he had three more steamed buns, two eggs and a small piece of fat pork belly.
Several old aunts selling vegetables thought he was handsome and specially gave him a gift to grow taller.
Jia Mingan weighed the dishes in his hands and estimated that there was almost enough for today's meal, so he was ready to go home again.
Qinghe County is so poor, so naturally his Tiger Gang can't be serious.
The Tiger Gang is said to be the largest gang in Qinghe County, but in fact there are only four members including the gang leader.
Three of them were orphans picked up by the leader of the Tiger Gang.
Although they have never been properly managed, they have used their reputation to gain a place for them in this three-thirds of the county.
Three ruffians with no real jobs, plus a third-level "Gu Master" who doesn't care about anything.
The oldest one has already married and manages three streets.
The second brother is in charge of two streets, and I heard that he recently found a matchmaker to arrange a marriage.
Finally, he, Jia Mingan, is the youngest and is not yet an adult, so he is in charge of one street.
Naturally, the Tiger Gang has some tricks up its sleeve to collect protection fees in a place like this.
Like the wandering beggar who tried to commit fraud just now, as well as other petty thefts, they are all under the control of "rogues" like him.
After all, although no one is willing to come to such a poor place on weekdays, occasionally there are some unscrupulous guests who come to enjoy the autumn breeze.
If someone is acting up and causing trouble, there will naturally be a place for him.
Suddenly, Jia Mingan noticed that there seemed to be some noise ahead, and couldn't help but rush towards the crowd.
As a result, before he walked in, he heard a familiar voice.
"Little girl, this very dangerous thing of mine is the half-hanging handkerchief of the slave of the Demon Lord of the Immortal List. It is stained with great cause and effect. It will cost you at least fifty taels of silver to sell it to you!"
"Hmph, it is precisely because it is contaminated with great karma that you should give it to me for free and let me help you solve your problems."
Jia Mingan managed to get past the crowd of onlookers, and then he saw a familiar old beggar in the crowd holding half a shabby red gauze scarf and speaking plausibly.
Opposite him was a strange girl half-dressed in Tsing Yi Taoist robes, holding a yellow banner with "iron mouth cut straight".
At this time, the girl was full of righteousness, and she looked at the sand towel in the old beggar's hand with a serious expression.
"The Demon Lord Slave is one of the world's top masters of the Demonic Way. He cannibalize people, drink blood, massacre cities and destroy Dao. If you hold this thing today, you have already been infected with cause and effect."
"If you don't want to die unexpectedly in the future, you'd better give the thing to me. I'll slay the demons in the future and I will settle the cause and effect for you."
At this time, the noise caused by the two people was getting louder and louder, and more and more people were watching. The old beggar couldn't help but be slightly speechless.
He knew that he had met his opponent today.
In the past, he was the only one who cheated others. Unexpectedly, the little girl, who looked quite serious, actually wanted to prostitute him for nothing today.
"Girl, don't listen to this old beggar's lie, this is just an ordinary scarf!"
Some people on the sidelines spoke up, and anyone with any brains could tell that the old beggar was a liar. Seeing that Yun Ranmo seemed to have been deceived, they started to persuade him.
"Yes, yes, you heard it too. It's a lie. I won't sell it to you anymore. Little girl, stop pestering me!"
The old beggar also felt unlucky. Seeing that he couldn't deceive anyone with his rags, he turned around and prepared to run away.
"No, you can't leave. I told you that you have been infected with the great karma. If you don't listen to me, you will definitely die in the future!"
No one expected that the girl who was the victim would not let him go.
When the unqualified old beggar saw the girl in front of him and was not ready to let him go, he immediately began to curse and speak dirty words.
But just as he was about to speak, he noticed someone behind him tapping his shoulder.
"Old man, are you still planning to cheat on me?"
Jia Mingan looked at the old beggar from behind with a smile on his face.
Then he stretched out his hand and snatched the scarf from the beggar's hand.
"Come on, girl, put this thing away."
The young man smiled and took Yun Ranmo's little hand and handed the gauze scarf on his hand into her hand.
Although he didn't recognize the girl in front of him, it didn't stop him from being a normal young man of sixteen or seventeen years old.
What a beautiful girl. He has never seen such a handsome little sister in all his years in Qinghe County.
Even if he had seen the most beautiful sister in Qinghe County, she could not compare to one percent of the girl in front of him...
Unfortunately, he is not a demon of lust.
So he reluctantly touched the back of the girl's smooth hand a few more times before Jia Mingan straightened his expression and coaxed away the onlookers.
"Okay, okay, folks, please go back. There's no excitement here."
"And you, if you let me see you again, you will have to lie in bed for the rest of your life!"
Jia Mingan showed a fierce expression and pretended to kick the old beggar.
The old beggar was so frightened that he ran away quickly.
"Girl, there's no need to thank me. This is what I should do."
The boy didn't look at the girl again, he just picked up the eggs and vegetables he had put on the ground before turning around and preparing to leave.
After all, this is just his daily job and responsibility as a "rogue"...
"Stop!"
The girl's pleasant voice sounded from behind, and Jia Mingan turned around subconsciously.
He originally thought that the girl was going to investigate him about eating tofu just now, but in just a moment, Jia Mingan had already thought of ten thousand excuses for himself to deceive the girl behind him.
Unexpectedly, he saw the complicated expression on the girl's face.
Three parts shocked, three parts puzzled, three parts blamed, and even one part pampered!
"Do you know that you have got yourself into trouble?"
Yun Ranmo grabbed his own yellow banner with an "iron mouth cut straight" and anxiously walked to Jia Mingan.
"Why are you helping me? Do you know that if you help me today, you will be the cause of trouble with that demon slave!"
"Girl...what about you?"
Perhaps the girl was too aggressive, so Jia Mingan couldn't help but take two steps back while holding his two eggs.
"Girl, are you stupid? That beggar lied to you about the demon slave's scarf!"
"He just wants to defraud you of your money!"
Jia Mingan is a little funny. Could it be that he met a real fool today? Why do people really believe the words of liars?
Thinking of this, Jia Mingan couldn't help but look up and down at the girl in green clothes in front of him.
She has a graceful figure, flawless face, and excellent temperament. Now that she is close, she can still smell a faint fragrance of jasmine.
This girl looks so awesome, it would be great if she could be tricked into going home to be my wife.
Jia Mingan felt a little regretful, although he was definitely not the kind of scumbag who would play with the feelings and bodies of the opposite sex for his own sake.
But the appearance of the girl in front of him still made him feel a little moved.
After traveling through Qinghe County for so many years, this was the first time he felt this way.
Unfortunately, neither the Taoist robe on the girl nor the way she walked alone in the world told Jia Mingan that the background of the beautiful girl in front of him was not someone he could provoke.
Just touch your little hands and take advantage. There is no ordinary person among the top nine.
"You don't know, but I am a fourth-level Taoist cultivator of fate. I practice fate and know cause and effect."
"The Demon Lord Slave is the Supreme Being of the Immortal Rank, so naturally she does not enter the human world. Now that someone is using her name to make money without knowing it, there will be karma and retribution in the future."
"That's why I asked the old man to hand over the cause and effect to me, and I will be responsible for it in the future."
"And you accidentally intervened in this matter, do you know that you have been infected with the big cause and effect!"
Jia Mingan's eyes lit up when he heard the girl in front of him say that he was a fourth-level Taoist cultivator.
Again, Qinghe County is too small.
This was the first time in so many years that he saw a beautiful girl whose cultivation level exceeded the first level.
In addition, let alone girls, he has never seen a grandma with a cultivation level above the first level!
But seeing the girl talking about this matter so seriously, his face couldn't help but become much more serious.
"Jia Mingan, have you asked the girl her name yet?"
"Jia Mingan, Mingde Anbang, your name sounds like a good name."
Yun Ranmo was muttering in his mouth, his eyes were slightly bright, and he held the yellow flag with "straight iron mouth" in one hand, and made a salute with one hand.
"My name is Yun Ranmo."
"Okay, okay, Miss Ran Mo is named just like her name. She is dressed in green clothes and looks as elegant as ink."
Jia Mingan also skillfully praised the girl in front of him. The girl was wearing a green sleeves, and she did have the flavor of a beauty in a painting.
"It's getting late and it's dinner time. Why don't you and I go home and chat while eating?"
The young man smiled and raised the things in his hands, and enthusiastically invited Yun Ranmo in front of him.
Let me put it another way, he, Jia Mingan, is definitely not the kind of scum who deliberately plays with the feelings of the opposite sex in order to satisfy his own goals.
It is absolutely impossible for him, one of the five outstanding young people of the 21st century, to do such a thing!
