Chapter 32: Looking for Me to Catch Demons? But I'm not a Taoist!
"Ahh
Li Sanlang first hurriedly bowed and confessed his guilt, and then began to look Li Bai up and down.
"You...... You are Li Bai? β
When he saw Li Bai's appearance, the slightly strange gray-white dress, the young and expressionless face and the casual appearance of the long hair on his head tied up with a headband, plus the long sword held in his left hand, he couldn't help frowning a little.
"Exactly!"
"If you want to come and get me today, I'm afraid it's not enough for you alone."
In a feudal empire like the Tang Dynasty, it is natural that people like him Li Bai will not be allowed to run around without a suitable and legitimate excuse. Because according to the government, his current state Li Bai is a fugitive wanderer, and once he is found by the government, he will have the tragic fate of being sent home with a board and repatriation or simply exiled to the frontier as hard labor.
And investigating people like him is naturally one of the responsibilities of local governments and unscrupulous organizations such as local governments, so seeing this unscrupulous person Xiaoshuai in front of him come to find him by name, Li Bai subconsciously thought that the other party came to arrest him.
Of course, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he should indeed be repatriated or exiled, but only if the premise is ...... Can the other party catch or subdue him?
As now, if you can't catch him, what is the use of the law, no matter how strict it is, if it is not enforced?
βοΌοΌβ
"Take, take you?"
Hearing Li Bai say that, Li Sanlang was stunned.
"Why did I take you?"
"You killed someone and set it on fire...... Or was it theft and abduction?! β
After being stunned, Li Sanlang subconsciously pressed the handle of the short knife on his waist, and couldn't help but look at the tall and straight young man in front of him with guarded eyes, even a little taller than himself, while asking with a little hesitation.
To be honest, after being a 'bad guy' for so many years, it's the first time he's met a weirdo like the one in front of him who asked him to take people when he met.
"Humph!"
"I, Li Bai, am upright, how can I do that kind of murder, arson, theft, and abduction?!"
Li Bai snorted disdainfully, squinted a little arrogantly, and seemed to disdain to answer the other party's question just now.
I think that at the beginning, when he personally destroyed the heavenly soldiers and tortured and killed the evil animal, he dared to leave his name on the cave wall, if he really did that kind of murder, arson, theft and abduction, how would he not dare to admit it?
Of course, the matter of 'borrowing' the horse does not count, it is a matter of urgency and the owner of the horse agrees, it is not a robbery, and he will not admit it anyway.
"Li Langjun, you really should be joking......
"Since you haven't done those things, why should I come to get you?"
βοΌοΌβ
"Strange ......"
"You...... You're not here to check my household registration, not for the kind of thing that investigates floating households? β
Li Bai has heard that the government in Hangzhou has recently had a large-scale screening activity, which is similar to a household registration census, and has also investigated and dealt with a lot of floating households and unidentified fugitives for this purpose, so of course he will think that this guy is also here for that matter today, and is ready to violently resist the law and escape.
"Check your household registration?"
"Li Langjun said with a smile, so dignified, what should I do when I check your household registration?"
The bad guy handsome Lin Saburo replied with a somewhat innocent wry smile.
If the other party is a suspicious ordinary person, of course he has to investigate, not only to investigate, but also to bring people to justice! However, at the moment, the other party is a strong and powerful alien who can compete with monsters, even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he probably won't dare to investigate.
And this is called 'different from person to person', he has been on an errand in the government for so many years, he has long known the samadhi, and naturally knows what can and cannot be done.
ββ¦β¦β
Get!
At this moment, it was Li Bai's turn to be a little speechless, because he found that he seemed to be cranky or persecuted paranoia, so he made up for the misunderstanding of the other party?
"Haha!"
"Don't worry, Li Langjun, I have also heard Wang Ren talk about your affairs, but I didn't think about coming to make things difficult for you when I came to visit this time, do you want to take care of you, the government over there should be in charge of you, what does it have to do with my Yuhang County?"
"That's not too hard......
"As long as you don't crash into the door by yourself, we only have the right to wait and don't know that there is such a thing, what's the big deal?!"
After laughing and easing the atmosphere, Li Sanlang hurriedly explained.
He wouldn't say: If Li Bai in front of him is a wanderer with no ability, then what he didn't say, if he was touched by him Li Sanlang, he would definitely not say a word, just clean up the other party and bundle up and search for the belongings on his body, and then twist it to the government to send it down!
But not now, not to mention that he had heard all kinds of rumors about Li Bai before, even if he hadn't heard of it, just now that he saw the iron sword still in the other party's hand, he wouldn't act rashly!
This is just like what his subordinates said just now, everyone is old and young, and the errand is just begging for food, in this dangerous world, as long as there is no deep hatred, and the Li Bai in front of him is not the kind of Jiangyang thief who must be taken down, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, who wants to work hard casually?
"This ......"
"Well, it looks like I misunderstood."
After being silent for a long time, after seeing that the other party really didn't look like he was here to get himself, Li Bai nodded, and his expression looked a little better.
In short, as long as the other party is not here to embarrass himself, then he is easy to speak, and he will not want to shout and kill when he meets like when he faces those demons and monsters.
"What about you...... Is there something else coming to me? β
After determining certain things, Li Bai, who gradually relaxed, asked directly straight to the point.
He didn't want to invite the other party in to sit, so he was very rude to block the other party at the door of his courtyard and ask.
After staying in that kind of small mountain village for a few years, and then fleeing all the way to Hangzhou to live alone and practice swordsmanship, after such a long time, he has gradually developed a trace of withdrawn character, and he is indeed not too good at dealing with this kind of stranger, and he doesn't want to deal with it, because he is afraid of trouble!
"That's ......"
Li Bai's rudeness Li Sanlang didn't care either, because he didn't plan to stay here for long.
"Li Langjun, I heard someone say ......"
"You have the kind of good ability to subdue demons and enchant demons, and ordinary monsters are not your opponents, but is there such a thing?!"
He already knows, there is really a powerful female goblin living here nearby, and since this Li Bai in front of him can live with the goblin, he must not be a normal person? Therefore, he just wanted to hurry up and leave after finishing his business, otherwise he would go back too late, and his companions would really leave him and run back first.
"Ahh
It turned out to be a demon subduer......
"Sort of?"
"But I'm not one of those Taoist priests who specialize in subduing demons and subduing demons, ordinary monsters are okay, just kill them directly! But if you change to something else......"
"Anyway, as long as it's not too strong, it shouldn't be much of a problem."
Li Bai remembered the six lake demons that he had just killed not long ago, that kind of monster could be easily hacked to death by him with a sword, presumably, other monsters must be able to do the same.
Of course, the premise is that he can't be as powerful as the female goblin surnamed Bai, if it's such a big demon, he will definitely not be able to suppress it.
"That's great!"
"Li Langjun, if someone asks you to go to subdue the demon, are you willing to go?"
Hearing that Li Bai did not speak nonsense like the kind of fortune teller liar in the city, but answered with a little humility and caution, Li Sanlang not only was not disappointed, but asked with some joy.
He wanders in the market all day long, and he is very accurate in seeing people, like the kind of guy who likes to talk nonsense and assures, and is used to patting his chest and bragging about himself before doing anything, he generally has no real ability, and like the young man in front of him is so humble and dare not hold up, then he has the ability and ability.
At least, with the other party daring to live here alone, and it's okay to live so close to that goblin for so long, he, Li Sanlang, had to give a thumbs up and praise and admit that he was far inferior to the other party!
"This ......"
"Then it depends on how far away you are talking about?"
Li Bai didn't know why the other party suddenly asked like this, and he didn't know where the other party heard the news that he would subdue demons, but he didn't have much affection for monsters, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked first.
If it wasn't far away, then he felt that he had nothing to do now anyway, and it would be okay to go and see.
"Don't worry! Not far away, in the city of Hangzhou! β
"But ......"
"This matter is a big matter, are you sure you have the ability to subdue demons?"
"Let me tell you, if you can really bring down that monster, in the future in Hangzhou, I will ensure that no one will dare to make things difficult for you, including your household registration, even if you say it, it will be fine, are you willing to try?"
Although he knew that there must be no outsiders here, Li Sanlang still habitually looked left and right, and then stepped forward to Li Bai and asked in a low voice.
"There should be, right?"
"But I haven't killed many monsters, whether I can hold it down or not, I always have to see it first."
Anyway, Li Bai is alone, what is he afraid of?
It's best if he can hold it down, if he can't get down, it's a big deal that he will run away, he is a barefoot lone wolf, he is not even afraid of the heavenly court, and he is afraid that a monster will come to chase and kill him?
As long as it wasn't a spell like that female goblin, he would just slash it with a sword when the time came, and he wouldn't believe that there was anyone alive!
Besides, he just killed a few West Lake water demons a few days ago, and now that he has more troubles, he doesn't have to worry about adding one or two more, he has almost gradually become accustomed to the state of being remembered and guarding day and night to live.
"That's great!"
"We're done! Li Langjun, you wait first, I'll go back first to clarify the situation, and I'll come back to you another day when the matter is settled? β
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and Li Sanlang, the little leader of the bad guys who was overjoyed, instantly became elated, and then made another move, and couldn't wait to turn around and say goodbye and go back, not wanting to stay longer for a moment.
"Yes!"
nodded, although he felt a little strange in his heart, Li Bai finally nodded in response.
After all, he has already bought a house and already plans to live here in Hangzhou for a long time, and at this time, it is always good to have a little friendship with this kind of people in the government, even if the other party is just a small official who does not enter the stream, if he can help the other party a little favor, in exchange for being able to live and walk freely here in Hangzhou, it is great.
