Chapter 17 Dog Rong
After arranging Shi Qing's family clearly, Shi Potian did not say that he planned to stay in Xuzhou City all the time and wait to see jokes or anything.
Well, like in those detective stories, those who have to go back to the crime scene after doing the case to meow at it are actually mentally ill to a certain extent!
It may be that you don't have self-confidence when you're young, or it may be the persecution of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It's like when you go out at night, you may wonder several times that the lights in your house are off.....
It's a disease! Gotta be cured!
Obviously, Shi Potian did not suffer from this kind of intermittent memory disorder of unconfidence, and he had nothing to do to see Shi Qing's family kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, so after finishing his work, he accompanied Dongfang Bai and the monkey out of the city overnight.
After leaving the city, the group of three didn't know where to go, and after learning from the monkey that Lan Li asked them to take a look at the prosperity of Chang'an, Shi Potian also went with him.
Chang'an City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, a rare place where dragon energy gathers in the world, since it travels far away, it is natural to watch!
A group of three people, hurry up.
Ahem, ahem.
With the stone breaking the sky, the three of them finally have a horse, so they will not walk away on foot.
And at the same time as the three of them set off towards Chang'an City, in Chang'an City, a terrifying thing began to spread in the city.
But I don't know when, in Chang'an City, there was an inexplicable strange story.
It is said that at night, there are strange tall soldiers walking the streets of the city, and if anyone encounters them in the middle of the night, they will be stripped of part of their body.
This is not a thriller story to scare a child!
Because in the past month, the county government in Chang'an City has received no less than 100 cases of tall soldiers mutilating ordinary people.
And for these ghost soldiers who are tall but can't find out their history at all, the government officials in Chang'an City also feel inexplicable, and there is no way to find out.
Here's what happened, after asking about the time of the 'ghost' creature, the city's catchers wandered the streets in the middle of the night.
Who would have thought that they would really meet them.
But what if you encounter it?
The seventeen trappers scattered around the city encountered a total of three tall ghost soldiers, and as a result, six of them had their organs removed.
Some are missing hands, some are missing kidneys, and even one is unlucky, who was directly removed from the heart by the ghost soldiers, and died directly.
And ordinary fast catchers, even if they have a certain martial arts foundation, can't hurt these ghost-like existences at all.
This kind of experience, after getting the certification, the catchers in Chang'an City are reluctant to contact again, and the county commander of Chang'an County can't help but report it directly to his top boss in the court, and tell him about the ghost soldiers.
In fact, such a thing, when it happens in other places, is usually handed over to the mercenary union to solve, as long as the rich in the city come to raise funds and draw a bounty money, there will always be powerful people to eliminate this strange rumor.
But Chang'an City is different!
As a country of great cadres, the forces in the Mercenary Chamber of Commerce and Chang'an City have been weakened to a great extent.
This is like the riverside city of the past.
After the matter was reported to the imperial court, it could not be solved immediately.
For the next seven days, the Chang'an County Order did not get an accurate message, but the strange evolution of the ghosts in the city intensified, and even not only the ordinary people in the city were panicked, but even some high-ranking officials and nobles living in the rich area were also frightened by the rumors, for fear that the parts of their bodies would be removed by this inexplicable ghost thing at night.
Everyone is scared.
But on the contrary, the Great Qian's court doesn't seem to care about this matter in the slightest, even if many rich people in the city join hands to entrust a speech official to break out with the court, the Qianhuang didn't care, and even reprimanded the loud speech official in person, saying that the speech official made a fuss and brought these ghosts and gods to the court to discuss, which is really a big deal!
With the characterization given by the Emperor, this weirdness has become a taboo in the court.
Obviously, behind this incident, it is likely that there is something to do with Emperor Daqian, or Emperor Qianhuang must know what is hidden behind this ghost soldier incident.
But since the emperor didn't want to say it, how could they, who were ministers, ask it?
The emperor is unwilling to solve it, so what can the others do?
As a result, the ghost soldiers in Chang'an City have become a taboo in Chang'an City, even if everyone knows about its existence, but for a while, no one dares to target 'it'!
Rich people find more bodyguards for themselves, and those who don't have money try not to go out at night, anyway, the ghost soldiers also run out late at night to do evil, as long as everyone doesn't go out at night, it really has no impact on life..... It's weird!
As a country of a country, Chang'an City is not a small city, every night the main streets in the city are lit up for a night, and it is called a city that never sleeps, which is not the slightest exaggeration!
Is there a night ban in such a city? The disadvantage is not a star!
But as the cases of the ghost soldiers continue to concurre, everyone is not only frightened, but also for the sake of their own lives, they also reduce the frequency of going out at night, and they will not choose to go out at night if there is nothing important.
But even so, the cases about ghost soldiers in Chang'an City are still happening at night.
When Dongfang Bai and the three of them felt Chang'an, they encountered such a situation.
In the evening, in a time-honored store selling mutton foam, Dongfang Bai and the three sat at a table, eating mutton steamed buns while listening to other customers in the store tell strange stories about the ghost soldiers.
"You don't know, the ghost of that soldier only came out at night.
It is said that the ghost of the soldier is nearly eleven feet tall, half a head taller than the courtyard wall of some people's houses, and if you go to the courtyard at night and see a head floating outside the courtyard wall, then you must not make a sound, because what you see is probably the ghost of those soldiers!
But don't panic!
As long as you keep quiet and hide in your house, the ghost of the soldier will definitely not break into your house and kill you! ”
"Eleven-foot-tall man?"
"Storyteller, have you seen it?"
"I'm afraid it's not fooling us, right?"
"Storyteller, do you know how tall an eleven-foot man is?"
Halfway through the story, there was a commotion in the sheep soup restaurant.
Everyone has heard of the so-called ghost soldiers, but this storyteller is the first one who has defined the ghost soldier very vividly and set some rules for him!
In this way, it naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people.
You know, this ghost soldier is not the supernatural stories in the book, but the monster that really exists in Chang'an City, if anyone listens to the story is really like the story told in the real story, completely put the living habits of the ghost soldier in the story into reality, I am afraid that I will die and I don't know how I died!
This kind of life-threatening thing is not something that can be joked about at will!
Seeing that the people listening to the book were dissatisfied, the storyteller seemed to find that he had committed public anger, and according to common sense, he should apologize and change the topic at this time, right?
He doesn't!
Not only did he not change the topic, but he also insisted on his own theory and quarreled with the other diners in the restaurant!
"The soldier's ghost is what I saw with my own eyes the other night!"
"Will you survive after you see it?"
"Where did you see that?"
"That's it! It is! ”
"When I got up in the middle of the night, I saw a head floating outside the courtyard wall, and when the head saw me looking at him, it smiled at me..."
"And then?"
"Yes, and then, you just said it!"
"Say! Say it! ”
"And then.... Then I didn't know, I was just scared and fainted! ”
When the storyteller said this, he seemed to recall the experience of that night, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
And at this very moment.
Wonderful things that everyone is listening to.
Everyone listened, and there was a banging sound on the window.
"Voices coming from there."
"How do I hear someone knocking on a window?"
"We... We're on the second floor..."
As the knocking on the window became more and more urgent, many people in the mutton restaurant looked nervously at the windows around them, and after a while, a group of people really found that a window on the west side was vibrating rhythmically with the sound.
Looking at the posture of the lump down, it seems that there is really a hand knocking on the window outside.....
"This...."
"Two floors, eleven feet..."
"We, shall we open the window and have a look?"
"I'm going to go, you're going."
"Shop, store checkout!"
"Tell someone to go out and have a look...."
"Oh my God, you dare..... Groove !! ”
"! What the hell!! ”
Before the group could finish their words, they saw the window on the second floor suddenly opened, and then they felt a 'human head' with an ugly appearance but a surprisingly large one, looking out of the window.
"Run!!
"It's really a soldier's ghost!"
"Run...."
"Wait, didn't you say he didn't hurt?"
"Do you believe ???"
No matter what you say, if you come out of nowhere and stare at yourself with such a 'thing' that is not good at first glance, normal people will feel panicked in their hearts, even if the other party does not show the intention of hurting others.
So, in a short period of time, the guests on the second floor all ran to the first floor for refuge.
Of course, they didn't dare to go out now, because the monster was blocking the door of the mutton steamed bun.
There are those who are afraid, and there are naturally those who are not afraid.
After seeing most of the guests on the second floor of the Sheep Soup Restaurant running away, the 'ghost soldier' standing outside showed an extremely hideous 'honest' smile on his face:
"What, I'm hungry too, shopkeeper, can you bring me a bowl of mutton?"
The shopkeeper who was hiding at the handrail of the stairs: "??? ”
"The door of your store is too low for me to squeeze into."
As he spoke, the so-called 'soldier ghost' sent in a small piece of silver in his palm, the size of a millstone.....
The rest of the diners on the second floor were stunned, and most of them looked at the storyteller who had told the story before.
This is the legendary 'ghost soldier'?
Isn't this just a foreigner who has grown a little taller and has an ugly appearance?
There are more than one people who have this kind of thought, seeing that this huge strange man has no intention of hurting people, the owner of the mutton soup shop also hurriedly asked someone to bring a large pot of mutton soup from the back kitchen, as for collecting money or something, he didn't mention it!
The weirdo got the mutton soup he wanted, drank it and walked away satisfied.
After he left, a few diners who had chosen to stay on the second floor before seemed to be chatting very familiarly.
"I've heard before that this strange person is from outside our continent, and the creatures in other big states are called dogs, right?"
"It's the dog Rong giant, the human race over there in Xiniu Hezhou, I don't want this giant to be as ugly as described in the story!"
"But this head is really quite tall, eleven feet tall, if this is a piece of iron armor....."
"Don't think about it! In front of the firearms of my Nanzhan Buzhou, in the strong iron can, I can only be suffocated! ”
"Hahahaha, that's nature!"
"Thanks to that Donghai Bo..."
"By the way, you say, these days, there have been rumors in the city that monsters have dug up human organs, is this thing done by these canine giants?"
"Shouldn't it?"
"Maybe, but shouldn't they be placed in the royal reception in the Westside? Why did you put it into the inner city at night? ”
"Who knows what the Holy One thinks?"
"It's really scary, if I hadn't gotten the news earlier, I'm afraid I would have seen this sudden appearance of the dog giant as a ghost."
"Yes, with the appearance of those immortals from Zhongzhou in our Nanzhan Continent, these messy things will appear more and more."
"The current canine giants, the Rakshasa people who appeared before, the pointy-eared elves that appeared before, and those dwarf villains ......"
"The way of the world has become, and I can't understand it more and more."
"Whew, who's to say it's not? Maybe our Majesty the Emperor is planning to come to a trick of worship by all races, so as to leave his name on the green history? ”
"Hahahahaha......."
"What a history! What a name in history! ”
"Don't say anything about it, just this sentence should be a big deal, hahaha, this cup is for you, Brother Guo! Come on! ”
"Hahahaha.... Come on! Come on! ”
Between a few scholars who were already quite young, they ended the discussion inexplicably in laughter and pushed the cup again.
The monkey on the table next to him was a little dizzy.
Look left, look right.
I didn't understand what they meant.......
