Chapter 5: The Empty Child
Miss Duan returned to the small courtyard where she was staying and saw her subordinates.
The fourth sister could see at a glance that the mood of the owner of the village was a little wrong, it should not be smooth, and he was a little sluggish, but fortunately, he came back safely.
Miss Duan explained the situation simply, and the fourth sister groaned: "This Tang Zhuang owner is very strange, what does he want to do?" ”
"This is a master!"
Sansha still pretends to be profound: "I'm sure that the entire Zhuangzi was conjured by him, and this person's mana is profound, and he must be a great power in the world." ”
"But why does he raise monsters?"
Ersha is also analyzing: "It is likely to be a person in the Demon Dao, we must be careful, we should take turns to keep vigil tonight." ”
"Cut!"
Wusha is not very old, but he can see it more clearly, and waved his hand and said: "There is really some sinister attempt, the owner of the village will not be able to come back just now." The strength of people is so high, they can play those tricks with us. ”
"Makes sense!"
Dasha nodded in agreement, and was even a little curious, wanting to see the three-headed youkai with his own eyes.
Although they couldn't figure it out, the night was peaceful, nothing happened during the night, and they were not harassed in any way.
Could it be that the owner of Tang Zhuang is really not a wicked person, just out of personal preference, he raised a demon beast as a pet?
The more confused they were, the more they wanted to find out the answer, so Miss Duan and the others really had the cheekiness to stay in Tangzhuang, and they didn't leave the whole day the next day.
Tang Zhuang still entertained them with delicious food and drink, there was no shortage of three meals, and they were also provided with hot water for bathing, and each of them was dressed in brand new clothes.
Such hospitality is not only a matter of whether it is hospitable or not, but it is indeed easy to misunderstand: why is it so good to us?
In our body, apart from this life, this body, what else can he try?
With this cautious attitude, in the evening of the next day, someone came to Tangzhuang to spend the night: it was a scholar in white clothes, but his face was gray, and he felt very unhealthy.
Of course, Tang Feng recognized it at a glance, this son was the powerful exorcist Empty Son in the original plot.
The weak physique of the empty boy should be caused by congenital factors, and he was deliberately spoofed in the original plot and called him a kidney-deficient son.
It should be said that his emptiness swordsmanship is quite sharp, the nine swords in the void treasure box are terrifying, and the realm is still extremely high, but the material of the sword is still weaker, and it cannot break Sun Wukong's immortal golden body.
If you want to ask, in the original plot, the empty sword and even the golden hoop stick were broken, how can you still say that the material is not good?
Tang Feng could only answer: It is definitely not a real golden hoop stick, the ghost knows where the broken copper and iron came from.
Later, Tang Feng will definitely personally identify it and see what is going on with this golden hoop stick.
The empty boy carried the treasure box, his gait faltered, his breath was unsteady, and he couldn't straighten his waist when he knocked on the door, as if he might die on the spot at any time.
Tang Feng instructed the housekeeper with his divine thoughts, and put the empty boy in, and the same delicious and delicious hospitality, but he was also curious in his heart: What about his four superb maidservants who carried sedan chairs and scattered flowers? Why do you come on foot?
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the empty boy was just here to spend the night, but he didn't expect that Tangzhuang's hospitality was really unexpected.
"Is it because I am powerful and famous, and I have been recognized by them, that I have been treated with such hospitality?"
The pretentious empty boy didn't think much about it, after eating and drinking, he washed up a little, and after tidying up his demeanor, he took the initiative to ask: to see the owner of Tangzhuang.
"Yes."
The housekeeper replied without asking for instructions: "My master is hospitable, I like to make friends with heroes in the world, and my son is not an ordinary person at first glance, so please come with me." ”
After eating well and drinking well, the empty boy regained some physical strength, followed the housekeeper into the inner house, and saw a young and handsome boy in the living room: Tang Daguanren.
After meeting, the two saluted each other, and Tang Feng directly shouted out the identity of the other party: "Why is the famous empty boy rushing alone, what about your sedan chair maid?" ”
"Huh? Brother Tang really knows about me. ”
The empty boy was a little surprised, but more of it was proud and self-satisfied, and then waved his hand: "Alas, don't mention it, there are many twists and turns...... Don't hide it from Brother Tang, in addition to the overnight, I also want to temporarily hire a few servants in Guizhuang, preferably female, it doesn't matter if you are older, as long as you are strong and can help me carry the sedan chair. ”
As soon as he said this, Tang Feng also understood that this benevolent brother's sedan chair maid was indeed hired temporarily everywhere, how could he be hired to his satisfaction in those mountain villages and towns.
will appear in the original plot always like to dismantle his best aunt.
Young and beautiful little girl, who wants to do this kind of thing, no matter how much money you give, it is impossible to lift a sedan chair for a man, do you want to marry someone in the future?
"Lift the chair?"
Tang Feng did not refuse or agree to the empty boy's request, because he didn't want to cause the four best aunts to lose their roles because of his own intervention.
Then he said to him, "If it is only for the sake of hurrying, I can provide Brother Void with a carriage and the best coachman, but I will not send the women of the village to do such a thing." ”
"Understood, understood!"
The empty boy hurriedly said: "I am very grateful to Brother Tang for having a carriage." ”
He also knew that a serious family, especially a woman from a big family like Tang Zhuang, even if she was just a maid, it was impossible for her to do that kind of work for a little money.
It's also quite good to have a carriage to travel temporarily, and then go to the mountain villages and wild shops to slowly look for those aunts and aunts who don't care about face.
After deciding this, Tang Feng asked again: "Brother Void, as the most famous exorcist in the world, passing through here, isn't there some big demon in this vicinity?" How far is it from my Tang Village? ”
The most famous ...... in the world
This evaluation made the empty boy feel very useful, so he replied truthfully: "Dozens of miles to the southwest, is there a Gaojiazhuang?" ”
The empty boy thinks that it is reasonable for Tang Feng to inquire about this matter, as a gentry here, the family is big, and the monsters that are harmful to people in the neighborhood are infested, so it is strange if he doesn't care about it.
Again, he was not a local, so he didn't know that the manor in front of him had only appeared out of thin air a day ago.
"Gaojiazhuang, of course I know."
Tang Feng nodded: "Over the years, the two of us have had a lot of transactions, but in recent months, I feel, it seems, is indeed a little abnormal......"
Then his expression froze, and he lowered his voice: "It can't be Gaojiazhuang's demon, right?" ”
"yes, quite unfortunate."
The empty boy showed a compassionate expression, nodded and replied: "More than 100 people up and down Gaojiazhuang were killed by a wild boar essence. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his brain, pretended to remember something, and slapped his thigh: "Oh, the two Zhuangzi are so close, that wild boar spirit is strong and has a great appetite, will it harm Gaojiazhuang and come to Tangzhuang to do evil?" ”
There are two main ways for exorcists to receive bounties: one is the official bounty of the Central Plains Exorcism Hall, and the other is the employment fee of local victims.
So, scaring the local gentry or villagers and raising the cost of employment, the empty boy really does a lot as an exorcist, but on the surface it seems more subtle and elegant.
