The woman was beautiful and had a slightly darker complexion. Tan Mo noticed before that this woman also had a short sword on her body, although it looked like it was used to scare people, but it could also be seen that this woman was not a lady, but liked to dance with knives and guns.

Tan Mo clasped his hands together and nodded slightly at the woman to show his gratitude.

Then a blanket was draped.

He's not cold, but there's no need to refuse someone's kindness.

After a night, few people in the inn lobby really fell asleep, the candles burned all night, and the teapot was added again and again by the inn guys.

The guests in this lobby don't sleep, where can the inn guys rest?

The innkeeper got up very early, and it was still dark, so he was busy in front of the stove in the dark, washing rice and boiling porridge, and then cutting pickles and bringing them to the people in the lobby.

Tan Mo took a sip of porridge, only felt comfortable, saw that the sky was bright, paid the bill, returned the blanket to the couple, thanked him again, and then prepared to leave.

However, the couple invited Tan Mo to go with them, saying that they had a carriage.

Tan Mo wanted to refuse this time, because he thought the carriage was slow, but Huo'er wanted to come out to breathe, so Tan Mo agreed to come down and follow them.

After a bumpy ride, I finally arrived at the gate of a county town before dark.

This county seat is occupied by General Chilian, because this general Chilian did not rebel against the outside world and claim the king, and in order to promote that he was still loyal to the Qing court and was a loyal minister, so this place still uses the system of the Qing court.

There is a county government in the county.

In terms of convicting people, the county order can try and judge minor crimes on its own, but major crimes must be consulted by the officials.

General Chilian did this because he wanted to hold the power tightly in his hands and prevent his subordinates from doing bad things, which would lead to a fire in the courtyard.

After all, he was a "loyal minister" of the Qing court.

But even if he does this, the reputation of this Chilian general is still not very good.

Excessively restricting the power of grassroots officials, but arbitrarily delegating them to the top, put the top level under General Chi Lian in a state of lawlessness, so the top level can unscrupulously meddle in local government affairs. In order to keep his black hat, the local county commander often obeys the orders of the officials.

If it weren't for the fact that this Chilian general held the military power in his hands, and relied on his banner, many "stunned green" cultivators who had just come down the mountain to work for him, and he would have been overshadowed by his subordinates.

Under the blinds, this makes General Chi Lian still think that he is a good general who asks for the people's life, and what is the matter with a good general like him, enjoying some of it?

So he built a palace for himself to rest.

and wantonly collected beautiful women for their own pleasure.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a water dragon king opposite him, there would be no way to let himself go, and General Chilian would even have the heart to build a wine pond meat forest.

The young couple's residence is in this county seat, which is considered a large local family. However, as a big family in General Chilian's territory, this day is not easy, and he will be extorted every three or five times, so the couple does not have many servants in the family, and there is not much industrial land.

They warmly invited Tan Mo to live in their house, and deliberately gave Tan Mo a sum of silver on the grounds that "my mother believed in the Buddha before her death".

"Why did you say yes? Little monk. As soon as the outsiders left, the fire came out of Tan Mo's sleeve, and she looked at Tan Mo very strangely.

With her understanding of Tan Mo, the possibility of Tan Mo not being saved is far greater than helping each other, the couple clearly has something to ask Tan Mo, and even there is a problem in their house, which she doesn't believe This cunning little monk didn't see it.

Tan Mo pointed to a small box of silver ingots on the table, and then said, "The little monk is a principled person. ”

Huo'er was stunned, what principle?

She glanced at the silver ingot that Tan Mo was pointing at, and didn't understand what Tan Mo meant.

Tan Mo saw that she didn't understand, so he had to say directly: "Just give money." ”

"Before that, yesterday in the county seat, the people of the big family asked you for help, why didn't you make a move? I don't think they won't give you money! Huo'er looked confused.

"No, they haven't given it yet, the family took the initiative to give it." Tan Mo shook his head slightly, and said with a wooden face: "This is given to the silver in advance, and it is given to the silver afterwards, and the meaning is different." ”

"What's the difference?"

"In the former, I took the silver and found that things couldn't be done, so I just turned around and ran, and I didn't lose money and made a steady profit. The latter, if I run away, I won't get anything, it's a loss-making business. Tan Mo said seriously.

Huo'er: "......"

It turns out that you are always ready to see that the situation is wrong, so you will flee with the money!

Immediately, Huo'er's impression of Tan Mo increased by another one.

The face is kind, the heart is black, the brain circuit is strange, and it is very cowardly!

"So what are you going to do next? Are you going to ask the couple what trouble they are in? Huo'er asked speechlessly.

Tan Mo shook his head slightly, he looked at Huo'er in surprise, and said, "Wait, don't you feel it?" ”

She had said before that she didn't feel any traces of demons in the county, which meant that although this person was not very strong at the moment, he still had special means, such as in this investigation.

"Is there one?" When Huo'er heard this, she had to feel it carefully, and soon her face changed slightly, and then she wrinkled her brows and said with a strange expression: "There is really a demon aura that I omitted, but it's not my fault, it's that the demon is too weak." ”

"How weak?" Tan Mo couldn't help asking.

He could only feel that there was indeed a demon haunting the young couple, but he couldn't feel the strength of the demon.

Presumably, the old monk near your temple who is bound by karmic shackles can blow out a dozen weaknesses by blowing a breath at will...... Huo'er wanted to answer like this, but after thinking about it, what if Tan Mo didn't know about the old monk?

So she sorted out the wording, and after finding a reference in her mind, she said, "Only one-seventh of your spiritual power. ”

"It is equivalent to the first layer of the Six Imperial Lower Realm, then it is a snake-level demon ghost." Tan Mo now knows in his heart, such a demon, he is sure to kill it.

After that, he waited in the wing room of the family with peace of mind, and he did not go out until the family called him out to eat.

After eating, he came back again.

Reciting the scriptures, waiting for the night to fall.

The colder it gets, the faster it gets dark. Soon, it was dark, and there were already candles lit in Tan Mo's house, and he covered the candles with a lampshade, but he didn't close the window, but looked out of the window.

Suddenly, Tan Mo stood up, stretched out his hand and shook it gently, and a piece of painting skin immediately appeared in his hand, along with the box of rouge gouache.

Put away the rouge gouache, Tan Mo changed into painted skin in front of the fire, and then walked out.

Huo'er looked at Tan Mo who had disappeared in amazement, and followed without hesitation, but she was afraid of bad things, so she just followed Tan Mo from a distance, planning to see how this little monk dealt with that demon, and by the way, she quietly talked about Mo's magic weapon that was suspected to be a magic weapon.
