Yan Chixia guessed correctly, Zhiqiu was indeed near Guobei County.

He is similar to Yan Chixia, he likes the kind of unrestrained life in the rivers and lakes where the world is his home.

On the same day, Zhiqiu had just finished a job and was paid ten taels of silver.

This guy can't afford money, and when he has money, he will definitely find a place to eat and drink......

When I was full of food and drink, and when I left the restaurant, I found that the direction of Guobei County was full of demonic energy, and I couldn't help but move in my heart, and immediately rushed to the direction of Guobei County.

In the afternoon, when passing through a village, I found that the village was beating gongs and drums, and the villagers were busy preparing for the ceremony.

Curious, he quietly turned into the village to find out.

At this time, in the small courtyard of the village chief's house.

There is a small table in the courtyard, on which are several dishes such as roast chicken, hare, and braised fish.

At the table sat an old man and a young man, munching on meat and drinking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

The village chief and his wife, as the masters, could only stand to the side, secretly swallowing saliva and watching the two eat Hu Tianhai.

These are all drinks and dishes that the villagers helped to make, for fear of neglecting these two immortal masters.

In fact, this old and young man are liars who walk the rivers and lakes, and they know a little bit about the tricks of the rivers and lakes.

The master and apprentice have been unlucky lately, often having a meal but not a meal, and they are almost about to become beggars.

I didn't expect the heavens to be beautiful...... A vision suddenly appeared in the sky, and black clouds formed grimaces, which frightened many villagers and spread rumors.

This made the master and apprentice secretly happy in their hearts, and they felt that the "business opportunity" had arrived.

After all, people are the best to deceive when they are frightened and helpless, just like falling into the water, even if they see a straw floating on the water, they will subconsciously grasp it.

The master and apprentice were well versed in this, so they pretended to be masters and came to this village, talking nonsense, coaxing and frightening, saying that this is a catastrophe from heaven, a catastrophe in the world, and there will be a river of blood at that time, and there will be countless lonely souls and wild ghosts in the world......

In other words, on weekdays, it is difficult to deceive people.

But now the grimaces that appeared in the sky had already frightened the villagers, and the master and apprentice used a little trick to reveal their two small tricks......

Suddenly, he was regarded as a savior by the villagers, and they all implored the two immortal elders to find a way to help the villagers resolve the crisis.

The master and apprentice had already prepared, saying that they were sent by heaven to come down to pray for the poor people......

In fact, this statement itself is inconsistent.

If you talk about the great calamity that came from heaven before, what will you say that God sent down to save the people......

But how can the people think too much? How dare you question it?

Even if he had doubts in his heart, he could only treat the two of them warmly with the psychology of believing what he had and not believing what he didn't have, and he didn't dare to have a trace of slackness.

The master and apprentice ate and drank here, and the villagers ran to set up a stage and beat the gong according to their request......

These are nothing more than going through the motions, and since you want to deceive people, you have to do it decently.

The ultimate goal of the master and apprentice is not only to eat and drink, but also to cheat a sum of money.

For this reason, a lot of so-called amulets have been prepared, and they are planned to be sold for 100 wen each.

Presumably, the people in the village gritted their teeth, and even if they borrowed money, they had to buy it...... As soon as the news spread, villagers from other villages will definitely come to ask for help.

In a few days, you still have to earn a few dozen taels?

After a while, the old man with the goatee seemed to feel that someone was standing aside to eat, so he said to the village chief and his wife, "Okay, you two don't stay here, go and see how the villagers are prepared." ”

"Yes, yes, those two immortals, please slow down!"

The couple dared to say more, so they quickly responded with a smile, and then left the courtyard.

No one watched, and the master and apprentice didn't care about their image, they didn't even bother to use chopsticks, and grabbed them directly with their hands.

Eating meat in a big way and drinking wine in a big bowl is called a pleasure.

When the dishes on the table were almost finished, the apprentice finally burped to his heart's content, rubbed his stomach and said, "It would be nice if it was like this every day, I'm afraid that our master and apprentice haven't eaten like this for a year." ”

The goatee pulled out a piece of meat stuffed between his teeth with his hand, looked at it, and was reluctant to throw it away, but stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it again.

On his face, he scolded with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Look at your kid's talent, eat so much, drink so much and you will be satisfied?" ”

"Or else?" The disciple was a little unconvinced.

"Nonsense, of course, to earn silver, to earn many, many silver.

With silver, why do our masters and apprentices bother to sleep outside and be looked down upon?

When the time comes, how majestic will it be to buy a house and buy some fields to be a master? ”

As soon as he heard this, the disciple's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, what the master taught is ...... With the silver, the disciple not only has to buy a house, but also a few daughters-in-law, hehe......"

"Stinky boy, you know how to miss women......"

"Master, look at what you said, the disciple is a man, isn't it normal to think about women, and it's not normal to think about it......

By the way, the widow Zhao who came to us to ask for a talisman before is really called a water spirit.

If the disciple coaxes her, he will quietly help her do a Dharma ......"

"Smack!"

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head.

Goatee said angrily: "You are a bad man, although you are not a good person as a teacher, we still have to talk about rules when we walk the rivers and lakes."

Your behavior like this is a taboo.

It doesn't matter if we cheat to eat and drink, but don't use despicable means to bully a woman from a good family.

If you kid can't hold back, go to the kiln, and then dare to think cranky and be careful to cut you for the teacher......"

"Disciple, don't you have no money......

"If you don't have money, don't think about it, either hold it back or solve it yourself......"

Just as the goatee spat flew to teach the disciples, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

The master and apprentice were taken aback, and quickly got up and shouted in unison: "Who are you?" ”

The one who came was none other than Zhiqiu.

"Aren't you two immortal elders? How? Can't see where it came from? ”

Although the goatee has no ability, after walking around the rivers and lakes for a long time, as soon as he saw Zhiqiu's dress and momentum, he knew that he had met a real master, his face became pale, and his voice trembled.

"That...... I don't know that there are masters here, and the old man is rude, so the old man will take the bad guy away. ”

"Leave? Aren't you here to help the villagers out of trouble? ”

Goatee looked embarrassed: "This ...... How dare the old man speak of this meager skill to eliminate the disaster, and hope that my friend will raise his noble hand and let my master and apprentice go together. ”

Zhiqiu couldn't help but said coldly: "Old fellow, I see that you finally said a few words that are still a little conscience, I won't embarrass you today, you master and apprentice will go and admit your mistakes to the villagers by yourself." ”

"Huh?"

The master and apprentice looked at each other.

"Why, if you don't want to go, don't you dare to go?"

Zhiqiu slowly drew his sword.

The cold light swept by, frightening the master and apprentice......

"Go, go, go."

Under the coercion of Zhiqiu, the master and apprentice had to run out to find a group of villagers to admit their mistakes, saying that they were not immortals at all, but just came to cheat and cheat and drink silver.

As soon as they heard this, the villagers were naturally angry, and rushed up, beating the master and apprentice with blue noses and swollen faces, and vomiting out the wine and meat they had just eaten......

When it was dark, Zhiqiu rushed to Lanruo Temple.

Now, several masters of the trilogy have finally come together: Master Baiyun, Shifang, Yan Chixia, and Zhiqiu Yiqiu.

Coupled with Gu Ming, the five of them joined forces, and they were afraid that they would not be able to cure the old demon of Montenegro?

After chatting for a while, Zhiqiu told him what he had seen halfway.

He has seen not one, but three, similar incidents, all of which were taken advantage of by some charlatans to fool the people.

Hearing what Zhiqiu said, Gu Ming couldn't help frowning and said, "These gods are really too hateful, taking advantage of the panic of the people to take the opportunity to collect money. ”

"It's not strange to see it, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The more chaotic it is, the happier they are, because only then can they fish in troubled waters. ”

"No, I can't let these people cause more panic, I have to go back and ask the county government to post a notice to reassure the people, so that the water will not become muddy."

The court must win the hearts of the people.

Magistrates must also win the hearts and minds of the people.

When the people's hearts are lost, the people's hearts are in turmoil, which is not a good thing for a magistrate.

The important thing is that if Guobei County really wants the people to be in turmoil, it will further boost the momentum of the old demon of Montenegro.

Therefore, what Gu Ming wants to do now must first appease the people.

……

Early the next morning, the county government posted a few notices in the city.

This time, the announcement was not hidden, and it concisely explained yesterday's vision, which should have been done by the Demon King of Montenegro.

The county government has reported to the imperial court and hired a master to deal with it, so that the people should not panic and reduce going out.

At the same time, those who deliberately spread panic rumors will be arrested once discovered.

Outside the city, the county government also sent people to inform the squires from all over the country, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of each village, and once they found that there were gods fooling the villagers, they would all be arrested!

In this way, it is much purer.

Although the people were still worried in their hearts, the government made a statement, which was like giving everyone a reassurance, and they had a little hope.

In the next few days, the county calmed down.

However, the outskirts of the city are not peaceful, and from time to time there are monsters, ghosts and the like attacking the villagers.

Fortunately, there was not much movement.

Because at this time, there were many demon hunters in Guobei County.

These demon hunters don't help in vain, because their nature is similar to that of killers, and they are all in it for money.

The difference is that the target of the demon hunter is the demon, while the target of the killer is the human.

Although Gu Ming took out a little personal baggage and spent a few hundred taels of silver, the effect was quite obvious.

With the help of these demon hunters, the casualties of the common people were not large. After all, these demon hunters are all professionals, and they don't run around blindly, and they generally choose a place with a nearby village to wait for the rabbit.

Many times, as soon as those unlucky monsters appeared, they had already burped before they could hurt people.

For this reason, the people are also a lot more relieved.

In addition, Gu Ming, Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu, Master Baiyun, and Shifang took turns to attack separately, and finally stabilized the turbulent situation.

However, at this time, Montenegro had an unusual movement......
