Chapter 12: Help
Tang Yi lay on the bed, stretched a big waist, and was ready to get up. He had just sat up from his bed when he heard footsteps outside.
"Tang Gongzi, are you up? Lord Tang, please come to the hall. The head of the official shouted outside Tang Yi's door.
After Tang Yi answered and dressed, he opened the door and followed the head of the official to the hall.
Before he could reach the hall, the sound of two men chatting kept coming. From the voices, it was discernible that one of the chatters was his uncle, and the other man's voice had never been heard.
Tang Yi went in and took a look, and on the chair on the left in the middle of the hall sat a man about the same age as Lord Tang.
As soon as Lord Tang saw Tang Yi coming, he immediately got up and introduced to that person: "This is the Tang Yi I mentioned to you." He also instructed Tang Yi: "Yi'er, this is Lord Liu from Qingshui Town, come and see you." ”
Tang Yi immediately saluted Lord Liu.
After Lord Liu looked at Tang Yi from top to bottom, he stroked his beard and exclaimed: "Lord Tang, your nephew, is a talent, with an extraordinary bearing, and a bright future in the future. ”
"Thank you, Lord Liu, for the compliment." Tang Yi was praised by Lord Liu like this, and Lord Tang also felt that Bei'er had face, and his smile was always on his face.
After a while, Lord Liu gave Lord Tang a look, Lord Tang put away the smile on his face, his eyebrows tightened, and said to Tang Yi with a serious face: "Actually, Lord Liu specially came to our Qingfeng Town to find you this time. He wants you to help him. ”
Tang Yi muttered in his heart, not knowing what Lord Liu was looking for him. He saw Lord Liu drooping his head, his eyebrows tightly locked, and he sat with a blank expression.
"I wonder what the adults need the people to do?" Tang Yi's mind was full of question marks.
Lord Liu slowly stood up, staring at Tang Yi and Lord Tang, and stopped talking.
"Lord Liu, if you have anything to say, as long as I Tang Yi can help, I will definitely help." Tang Yi looked at Lord Liu's appearance, as if he had an unspeakable secret.
"Lord Liu, don't worry about it anymore. For the sake of the peace of Shimizu Town, please tell the truth. Or shall I speak for you? "Lord Jia knows the purpose of Lord Liu's here. He saw that Lord Liu was difficult to speak, and he couldn't wait to explain it for him.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Lord Liu slapped his thigh and said, "Lord Xie Jia's kindness, I will tell you about this matter myself." Alas, the official didn't want to say it, but at this time, I had to say it......"
Then, Lord Liu informed Tang Yi of the strange murder case that had occurred in Qingshui Town, and 1510 unreservedly.
"Please ask Tang Gongzi to help us in Qingshui Town." Lord Liu said as he hugged his fists and gave a big salute.
Tang Yi immediately stopped him in panic and said, "My lord, you are an official, and I am a citizen." How can you give me a big gift, the small people can't afford it. The duty of those who know how to do magic is to slay demons and maintain peace in the world. In this case, please let me check it out first, and please rest assured. If it is the work of the wicked, I will get rid of it. ”
After hearing this, Lord Liu was so grateful that he held Tang Yi's hand tightly and thanked him repeatedly.
After Lord Liu left the mansion, Tang Yi wondered in his heart and asked, "Uncle, these strange things have also happened in Qingshui Town, why didn't Lord Liu ask for help from the strange people as soon as possible?" ”
"The next day, you don't understand. Most people don't believe the idea that evil is the cause of evil. After all, no one has seen it with their own eyes. Especially for officials, they will think it is nonsense.
Second, officials have died so many people in their own jurisdiction, and they have died so strangely, but they are helpless to solve this murder. This cannot be explained to the top, and the people are ashamed of it.
Having said that, even if Lord Liu determines that it was a monster who did it, posted the world, and searched for strange people, it is not announcing everyone, the murder is the work of demons, and after the people know about it, it will definitely cause them to panic. Qingshui Town will be in chaos by then. ”
After Lord Tang finished speaking, he looked at Tang Yi deeply. Then he said, "I'm glad you're here, and I don't know what to do if we don't have you in this town." The next day, the peace of our two towns depends on you. ”
Hearing Lord Tang say this, Tang Yi's expression was solemn, and he suddenly felt that his burden was getting heavier and heavier. Thinking about it in the past few days, I haven't been able to find the clues of the real murderer, and I have a lot of pressure in my heart.
The next day, after Tang Yi packed his bags, he came to Qingshui Town early. As soon as I arrived in the town, I saw that the streets of Qingshui Town were deserted, the doors of the shops were closed, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
"This brother, may I ask ......" Tang Yi didn't know how to get to the way to the mansion, so he grabbed a pedestrian on the road and asked for the way, but before he finished asking, the little brother of the passerby ignored him and ran away.
"Eldest sister, may I ask ......" Tang Yi found another passer-by to continue to ask for directions, but when the woman saw him wearing a short sword, she was so frightened that she stepped on the three-inch golden lotus and seemed to run away, and the speed was not slower than the little brother of the passer-by just now.
Tang Yi saw that the people of Qingshui Town were all in a hurry, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, and he felt that the situation was much more serious than he thought. He sighed and thought about continuing on his way.
"Young man, while it is still dark, I advise you to get out of here quickly. Our Qingshui town is not peaceful. A hoarse voice came from Tang Yi's right.
Tang Yi looked to the right, and the speaker was an old man.
Tang Yi immediately stepped forward and asked the old man, "Uncle, may I ask which direction is the government office of your town?" ”
"Alas, young man, you'd better get out of here." The old man kindly reminded again.
"Thank you Uncle for reminding me, but I came to Qingshui Town for important things, so please show me the way." Tang Yi declined the old man's kindness.
When the old man saw that he insisted on going to the yamen, he sighed, shook his head in confusion, and pointed with his left hand and said, "Go all the way from here, and you will arrive." After Tang Yi thanked the old man, he went straight to the mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the government office, he heard several officials at the door of the government discuss:
"I don't think these dozen or so cases were done by people."
"Everyone in Shimizu Town thinks it's not human, and even us adults don't think it's human......"
"I heard that Lord Liu specially invited a magician to Qingfeng Town."
"Oh? In this way, the people who have committed murders in the town these days may not be people! At this point, the officials shook their bodies involuntarily.
"Shut up, you guys don't talk nonsense, whether it's a human or a demon, you have to let the invited masters have the final say. If it had been the work of demons, what you have said today would be just that; If not, be careful that the adults will not spare you. A stab-laden servant shouted.
"We don't talk nonsense anymore. Don't tell the adults, boss. One of the young officials pleaded in a low voice.
"Huh? Who are you? What are you doing in our office? "There was a little official who noticed Tang Yi. The other officials looked at Tang Yi one after another.
Tang Yi immediately clenched his fists and said, "Fellow officials, Xiaomin Tang Yi, is from Qingfeng Town. Please also give a message to Lord Yanagi. ”
The head of the official immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be Tang Gongzi, there is an invitation inside, my lord has been waiting for Gongzi for a long time." "Immediately take Tang Yi to see Lord Liu.
When Lord Liu heard this, Tang Yi came. muttered happily, "There is salvation." There is salvation. And immediately tidy up the clothes and go to the hall. When Lord Liu saw Tang Yi, he immediately invited him to a seat and served him good tea. As soon as Tang Yi sat down, Lord Liu couldn't wait to talk about the murder in detail.
After hearing this, Tang Yi asked to see the victim's body.
Liu Da immediately ordered the bodies of the victims of the recent murders to be brought.
Tang Yi looked at the corpses, and the deaths of these people were exactly the same as those of the victims in Qingfeng Town. After inspecting it, Tang Yi waved his hand and asked the officials to carry the body down. With a solemn expression, he said to Liu Da: "My lord, these people are being done by demons. ”
Lord Liu had already suspected that it was a demon in his heart, and Tang Yi was not shocked when he said this, but he was worried about whether Tang Yi could catch this demon.
"Tang Gongzi, what kind of demon is this?" Lady Liu asked.
"I don't know yet." Tang Yi shook his head.
Lord Liu didn't know why Tang Yi saw Tang Yi, standing in place and feeling confused, at a loss.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" A few officials beside Lord Liu, seeing Lord Liu in a daze, screamed a few times before Lord Liu came back to his senses.
After Lord Liu came back to his senses, he hurriedly asked, "Then what means do you have to accept this demon?" ”
Tang Yi still shook his head.
Lord Liu was full of hope, and Tang Yi helped to ambush the demon. But at first glance, Tang Yi was also full of sadness, and he didn't seem to have found any way to subdue demons. The whole person instantly turned into ice cubes from the outside to the inside, and it was completely cold.
Lady Liu remained motionless, not knowing what to do.
After a while, "Tang Gongzi, then there is no ...... What the...... Is there a way? Lord Liu asked Tang Yi nervously.
Tang Yi took out yellow paper and vermilion ink from his suitcase, and began to draw talismans, reciting spells while drawing talismans. After all are finished, then use the magic on the spirit runes. A few spirit runes turned into hundreds of spirit runes in an instant.
He handed these talismans to Lord Liu and said, "First distribute these talismans to the local people." Let them carry it with them for self-defense. This is the only thing Tang Yi can do now.
After Tang Yi confessed to Lord Liu, he was about to leave.
Seeing that Tang Yi was leaving, Lord Liu thought that he didn't care about this matter, and his worried heart became even more flustered, and he hurriedly asked again and again: "Tang Gongzi, are you ...... What are we going to do when we're gone? ”
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to find a friend to catch demons together. Please rest assured, I will help you with this matter. After making sure that Tang Yi didn't leave it alone, Lord Liu's nervous and helpless heart calmed down a little.
After Tang Yi left the palace, Lord Liu immediately instructed the officials to send amulets to each family. to keep the peace.
The night was gloomy, and the cold wind kept blowing, and a cloud of gray smoke appeared over Qingshui Town, and tried to fly into Qingshui Town, but it was blocked by the golden light. Gray Smoke found that he couldn't enter Qingshui Town, so he turned around and flew away.
The gray smoke flew not far from Qingshui Town and stopped. muttered, "It seems that the town has invited a master." I'm afraid I won't be able to suck people's blood tonight. "Gray smoke is particularly irritating.
"Huh? Hahaha, there is no endless road. Just as the gray smoke was lost, I happened to see a man.
Ash Smoke happily pounced on the man. The silence of the night can easily lead to inexplicable fear. When the man passing by was walking slowly on the quiet path, he suddenly saw a person wearing a gray robe appear in front of him, the man was so shocked that his whole body shrank, and then swallowed his saliva violently, and asked boldly, "You...... Who? His voice trembled so much that he couldn't even pronounce the words.
"Whew"
The "gray robe" looked up, his eyes shining green, and stared straight at the man.
"Ahh The man's eyes were opposite the green eyes of the "gray robe", his mouth opened wide in fright, he screamed, his legs weakened, and he fainted on the spot.
The "gray robe" walked beside the man, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Delicious!" He opened his mouth, and the essence and blood on the man's body continued to fly into the mouth of the "gray robe".
"What a demon! How dare you hurt people's lives. ”
The "gray robe" was happily enjoying a "good meal" when someone suddenly shouted a question.
The "gray robe" was startled and immediately stopped enjoying the "good meal". When he saw the people who were angry with him. I actually laughed "hahaha".
