"Why, how could this happen?"
Watching from a distance that black bull that was bigger than a house was wreaking havoc from east to west, grabbing people who couldn't escape along the way, his eyes were red and his mouth was full of blood. The prefect Zhao Mingxing shuddered and his voice changed. .
"Please, please ask the Imperial Preceptor to write to Kyoto and the Master Wen, and you will draft the document."
"Li Gongfu, this is what you said about everything being under control. You also said that the matter has been taken care of. But in the end, is this how you fooled me? Beat me, beat me hard."
The prefect is known as a selfless man, and he is often proud of the fact that the city of Hangzhou is peaceful and the people live in peace.
At this time, monsters started to appear one after another, so that's okay.
especially.
"Where's the Yang family? How's it going?"
"The most troublesome thing is here, sir, although Mr. Xiuwen, the old man of the Yang family, has been in office for many years, there are still some old memories alive in Beijing.
His eldest son has now entered the Hanlin Academy. He has never held an important position, but he is quite noble. If the news of his family's murder spreads, even if the master quells the demonic chaos afterwards, he will..."
While Li Gongfu was being slapped with a grin on his face, a thin middle-aged man wearing a scarf beside him spoke softly without even looking at Capt. Li.
As the head catcher, if such a big thing happened in the city, if he didn't take the blame, who else could take the blame? Unfortunately, the blame was a bit big, and he really couldn't bear it alone.
The author Bo didn't say it clearly, but Magistrate Zhao had already thought of the unhappy ending.
At that moment, his face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "No, we can't report to the capital. The capital is far away from the mountains and rivers. Asking the Imperial Master to send someone out would be too troublesome for his old man. By the way, the high altitudes of the Jade Emperor Temple and the Huanglong Cave. Where are the people?”
"According to Master Qingmu, the host of Jade Emperor Temple, Master Zhang, has not returned from his travels. Everyone in the temple is doing their homework behind closed doors and no outsiders are seen. Huanglong Cave has been abandoned for many years. It is said that the dojo has been occupied by wild beasts in the mountains and forests. There are no visitors there. It’s so nice to go.”
"Who handled the trouble last time with the Fox Fairy?"
"Sir, this is Jinshan Temple. I heard that their abbot, Zen Master Fahai, has a compassionate heart and is very capable of exterminating demons. It would be fine to invite him."
The author of the article has some difficult words in his book.
"only……"
"But what? You haven't sent someone to invite him yet."
Magistrate Zhao was furious.
The magistrate's Yamen is not afraid. The whole family, young and old, live in the back Yamen. There is a door god to block it and a civility to protect it, so monsters can't get in.
However, if the people in the city lose their support, chaos may arise.
"Sir, Jinshan Temple is far away from here. Even if we send someone to invite someone, it will take at least three days to go back and forth. This..."
Three days is neither long nor short.
However, distant water cannot quench near thirst.
The bull demon is so ferocious right now that every day, no one knows how many people are suffering, and when will they be allowed to slowly go around asking for help?
As for the ordinary police officers in the government, when faced with this kind of thing, there is no need to send people to die. As long as you look at the difference in size between the two sides, you will know that sending people up is just like meat buns beating dogs, and it is useless at all.
"Master, yes, there is a way."
Li Gongfu was beaten to pieces. He was still listening to the conversation between the two magistrates while he was grunting. Then he screamed.
"stop……"
Magistrate Zhao frowned and looked at Li Gongfu very unkindly: "It's all you, so useless. The city has caused such a disaster, but you don't know it. You only know how to use the corpse to eat nothing all day long. What can you do?" , why don’t you tell me quickly.”
"My brother-in-law has recently become a master and his skills are very good." Li Gongfu stood up and said unsteadily.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao was becoming more and more impatient, he did not dare to delay, and quickly said: "That man is the owner of the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall. He originally lived in Tianshui Lane in the west of the city. His family was neglected and no one knew his ability. Last time, There was a demon in the Yang family, and the pig demon was rampant. With the mentality of giving it a try, his subordinates invited his disciples to take action... As a result, the pig demon was beaten to death by him.
The purpose of this bull demon is very clear. First, it crushed the Yang Mansion and massacred people, and then went to Tianshui Street to eat people indiscriminately, making people panic. It was probably to avenge the pig demon. "
Li Gongfu spoke tactfully, explaining the whole story in just a few words. He did not accuse Magistrate Zhao of anything, but Zhao Mingxing understood the origin of the matter.
Because after the pig demon incident, the prefect's Yamen, under the pressure of the gentry in the city, issued an order to find the five gods, and sent people to destroy the statues worshiped in each house. It was probably this incident that provoked Niu Demon.
Worshiping the Wutong God is not new in Hangzhou and has been going on for many years.
It’s not like no one benefited from it.
The existence of these secretly enjoying incense is generally just a benefit obtained from transactions.
Mortals offer sacrifices, and once they are satisfied, no matter what they ask for, nothing is answered.
There are quite a few dilapidated families in the city who have been resurrected by worshiping the Wutong God. They always get some strange opportunities. They either make a fortune, get promoted, or even marry the person they like that they have never been able to get close to in their whole life. In short, for them, For those down-and-out families who have no choice but to worship the God of Five Tongs, it is hard to say whether they will make a profit or a loss.
Of course there is a price.
After all, he is not a real god, but a little god pretending to be a monster. Once his desires are not satisfied, the consequences will be quite serious.
The most frightening thing is that these monsters are not as particular about moderation as humans. Their desires are endless. If they dare to propose conditions to sleep with women at home today, they will want to eat a few boys and girls tomorrow. Who can catch them? who.
Sooner or later, everything you get will be given back.
Ordinary people can never satisfy the appetite of monsters.
Here comes the problem.
In front of this evil god with endless desires, are you satisfied or not?
In fact, both the people and the government are well aware of the dangers of worshiping the Wutong God, but under normal circumstances, they really don't dare to stir them up.
One is a question of whether you are willing to fight or suffer.
On the other hand, a gentleman keeps a respectful distance from these weird things, not wanting to offend them too much.
If Yang Lin hadn't killed the pig demon in full public view on the street, the government would not have been forced to order its incense to be taken away.
"Then go find him. Now Tianshui Street is almost in ruins. Since he has such a powerful ability, why is he hiding and not showing his face?"
When Zhao Mingxing heard that someone could subdue demons, he immediately stopped panicking, stroked his long beard under his chin, and said coldly: "Is it possible that that person is just like Taoist Qingmu and the Master of the Fayuan Pavilion, who exaggerated his reputation?"
"Master, that man has now moved outside the city. He is recruiting disciples. I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the city easily."
Li Gongfu looked bitter.
He talked about the fact that Yang Lin destroyed the houses that day and later took the initiative to compensate the people for their losses.
After everyone heard this, their faces turned ugly.
"It's extremely stupid. Since you have an expert by your side, you didn't even think about currying favor with him. Why is our government office so short of money? You idiot, you are really an idiot. Wouldn't it be better to keep him in the city?"
Zhao Mingxing is quite sober.
Although there is nothing to do about the demon chaos.
But I can see some things clearly.
Obviously, the owner of the Prison Suppressing Martial Arts Hall was expressing his dissatisfaction.
After working so hard to slay demons and paying for it, no one feels bad about it, so they simply don’t get involved.
When people live outside the city, it means that if something happens in the future, don't come to me. "
If you really have the ability, you don't have to go to him.
It's a pity that something happened, and it wouldn't be possible without him.
"When we leave the city, I will go and invite him personally. If we can quell the bull demon incident, we can build a temple for him and make him famous.
Moreover, some gentry were summoned, and if they did not want their families to be ruined, they would raise some money as a fee to quell the demon. "
