Chapter 20: Suspicious Letters
Jian Xu, who had fought a great battle, searched out a letter from the body of a gust of wind, and unfolded it to see that there was not a word on it, only a few pictures. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Strange, who is this letter for, not a word!" After several efforts, he found that Jian Xu, who still couldn't read the letter, could only complain a few words and put it away.
Back at Zhao Zhukuai's place, the two of them were naturally surprised by Jian Xu's appearance, although Jian Xu had already changed into the clothes of Jinxiufang, but he was forced to suffer a full blow from a gust of wind, and he couldn't run away from internal injuries.
Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two, Jian Xu could only explain: "Don't look at me like this, I just had a fight with that gust of wind just now and was a little injured." ”
"Hey! Brother, you really encountered that gust of wind, and you made such a mess, ha, are you in trouble? Baicaodo is right down there. Zhao Zhu laughed heartlessly.
"Alas~, Dao Chief, I hope you will forgive me, Lao Zhao is like this, but he has no malicious intentions. I don't know if the long injury is serious? If necessary, I will immediately go to Baicaotang to find a doctor. "The other catcher is coming out again to play the round.
"Hehe, no~, this injury is not in the way. By the way, I found a letter from that gust of wind, you can take a look. Jian Xu took out the letter and handed it to the two of them.
"Let me see...... What the hell are these paintings! After Zhao Zhu glanced at it a few times, he shouted. Catch fast, goblins... Ay! And our county, there is not a word! It is incomprehensible. "Zhao Zhu, looking sideways and vertically, can't see why.
"I don't understand it either, so don't ask me." When the other catcher saw Zhao Zhukuai staring at him, he shook his head again and again.
"Then I'll give it back to you, you can take it to the county magistrate, maybe the magistrate can see something." Zhao Yu quickly stuffed the letter back into the envelope and handed it to Jian Xudao.
"That's good." Jian Xu put the letter in the package and turned to leave.
"Hey! Wait a minute! ”
"What's wrong? Zhao Zhukuai, is there anything else? Jian Xu stopped, turned his head, and asked suspiciously.
"I almost forgot, you also did the brothers a great favor, I should have invited you to drink, but unfortunately we can't get out, I have a bottle of medicine here, you can take it, I think you will use it." Zhao Yu quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms.
"Okay, thank you Zhao for hurrying up." Jian Xu didn't plan to accept it, but when he saw Zhao Zhukuai's face, "If you don't accept it, it's not over", he still took it and put it away.
"Ha, don't look down on that bottle of medicine, it was given to me by an immortal, and it's very useful. If I didn't really have a place to use it, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you. Zhao Zhukuai's face hurt.
"Well, it seems that I'm still clumsy." Jian Xu really didn't expect that this inconspicuous bottle actually contained good things.
"Okay, the things have been given to you, you can go to the yamen."
"Farewell." Jian Xu arched his hand.
After returning to the yamen, Jian Xu handed over the letter to the county order.
"Oh? You're saying it was scavenged from the goblin boss Gust of Wind! That's a good look. As he spoke, the prefectural order began to read carefully.
"Hmm~, this letter doesn't look like it's written by a monster, but it looks like someone wrote it to a monster! It should be for that gust of wind. The prefectural order quickly came to a conclusion.
"But the meaning of this letter is strange." The prefectural order twisted the whiskers.
"Hmmm! Prefectural Commander, do you understand?! Hearing this, Jian Xu was suddenly shocked and hurriedly asked.
"No, no, it's just my speculation. Come, you see. The prefectural magistrate shook his head and pointed to the first picture on the letter.
"This painting depicts the inseparability of catching fast and fighting goblins; Looking at the second one, someone sneaked into the city. If you look at it together, it should mean that the goblins distract from the hunt, so that others can fish in troubled waters and blend into the city. ”
"Well, what you say makes sense." Jian Xu nodded in agreement.
"I think this letter must have a lot to do with that demon path. Dao Chief, please go and ask that guy, bluff him, and see if you can pry his mouth open. ”
"Okay." Jian Xu nodded, took the letter from the county order, walked to the demon road, and showed it to him.
Demon Dao originally lowered his head and stared at the floor, as if there was some treasure on it. At this time, a pair of black cloth shoes came into his eyes, and when he looked up along the shoes, trying to see the face of the owner of the shoes, a white paper blocked in front of him.
Demon Dao's attention was immediately shifted to the paper, and when he glanced at it, Demon Dao's face immediately changed greatly, and he immediately lowered his head, shivering, and sweating.
Such an obvious change naturally couldn't hide from Jian Xu's eyes, and he immediately asked, "Bold demon!" Dare to hide it, quickly tell everything you have committed, and maybe spare your life! ”
"Hmm...... Well...... This adult doesn't know the small ...... What has the little one done? How...... I don't understand you. The demon wiped his cold sweat and stammered.
"Humph! You dare to say you don't know?! Look at the letter! You wrote it, right?! Jian Xu almost pasted the letter on the face of the demon road.
"I ...... I... I really don't know. Demon Dao's eyes drifted around, but he didn't look at Jian Xu, and then said to the county order: "Lord county order, the little one really doesn't know anything." Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued, "I'm a cultivator, how can I have anything to do with goblins? I was wronged. The demon also shouted injustice.
"This guy didn't say a word before he saw the letter, but now he knows that he is afraid, but he doesn't bluff anything, he is so hard-mouthed, it seems that he still has to unravel the secret of the letter in order to pry his mouth open." Jian Xu thought to himself. "Go and ask the Lord, maybe you can unravel this letter."
Guang Zhenzi, who was watching from the sidelines, read the letter once, pondered for a while, and said: "There are a lot of doubts in this letter, I'm afraid that there are still secrets hidden in Ninghai County that we don't know, I think that the demon Dao may know something, but he is just a pawn, it is impossible to know anything important." "Hiro Mako returned the letter to Jian Xu." Eliminating demons is the top priority at the moment, and just now you said that this letter came from a gust of wind. That gust of wind was one of the five demons of the Yellow Wind Cave, so it seems that these monsters must have come from the Wind Cave. ”
"The Wind Cave? What is it? ”
"I'll tell you more about this later, now you go to the Chenghuang shrine in the south of the city, ask the Chenghuang about the monster, and also ask about this demon." Hiro Mako instructed in detail.
"Okay, disciple knows." Jian Xu nodded and set off for the south of the city.
The Castle Shrine is located just outside the city gate on the left. The niche is not big, and it is only one person hugging wide, and the seven-foot high body is carved from bluestone, and there is a gold leaf city god statue pasted inside.
Jian Xu came to the shrine and saluted the statue of the city god.
"Hehe, Jianxu Xiaoyou, I guess you're almost there." Suddenly, the city god seemed to "come alive".
Jian Xu looked at the City God in front of him and moved, as if he and the City God were talking through a window.
"Lord Chenghuang?" Jian Xu asked tentatively.
"Hehe, please forgive me, this city god can't get out for the time being, so I can only communicate with you in this way." Chenghuang said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay." Jian Xu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Xiaoyou not only got rid of that gust of wind, cultivated in order to get it, but also had a broad mind, which is really admirable." Lord Chenghuang approvingly.
"You've won a prize." Jian Xu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"You ask about the origin of the demon road?" Chenghuang Ye looked embarrassed, "It's not that this Chenghuang doesn't want to help you, but I don't know much about the origin of that demon Dao, I only know that he has been active here for many days, day and night, sometimes walking around the city, sometimes measuring and calculating, and the shape is mysterious." Therefore, if you want to find out where he came from, you have to rely on your own efforts. "Lord Chenghuang said helplessly.
"But..."Lord Cheng Huang suddenly became serious, "there is an important matter at the moment, and you need to deal with it as soon as possible. ”
"Huh? What's that? ”
"One of the Five Demons of the Yellow Wind, Old Diamond Wind, has set up camp in Qingweikou, so I don't think anything good will happen in the future. You should inform Guang Zhenzi and Zhang Xianling of this matter as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard by the goblins. ”
"I see, thank you." Jian Xu arched his hand.
"No need to be polite, guarding Ninghai County is also my duty, you can go quickly." After the city god finished speaking, the golden light flashed, and the city god statue changed back to its original appearance.
