Chapter 80: The Taoist Chief, the Relic

Zhao Zhou thought about it, waited for a few more hours, and also left the courtyard and came to the inn, ready to find someone.

Now at five o'clock in the afternoon, there are nine customers in the store, three tables of wine and food, and four of Zhao Zhou's 'buddies'.

And leaning on the middle table, there was a Taoist sitting alone at a table, and Zhao Zhou saw that he was also him.

"Thank you Boss Zhao for your hospitality." When he saw Zhao Zhou coming, he also stood up and saluted, and said with some embarrassment: "But there are still some things in the poor road, so I hereby confess and resign."

The Taoist who spoke was the Qinghai Taoist, and he was also a master of demon extermination, and he killed four 'Bodhisattvas' who had not yet formed in that plot, but was killed by the last 'Bodhisattva'.

Similarly, when he came here today, he heard that some strange things had happened in the Great Marshal's Mansion, and he specially prepared to go to investigate at night to see if it was a demon.

However, for the sake of those 'bodhisattvas' to be free from disaster, Zhao Zhou also asked Goatee and others to go to the city to 'hang out' during this time, always keep an eye on it, and if they found customers who looked like Taoist priests eating at the inn, or happened to see them on the street, he immediately informed himself and did not let them go to the Dashuai's Mansion.

But if the Taoist does not come, or insists on going.

The goatee also knew what to do, even on the street, and he always said a word, and shot him without asking the reason.

Also coincidental.

This Qinghai Taoist passed by Zhao Zhou's inn at noon today, preparing to rest and eat, and then go to investigate in the evening. The goatee, who was also eating in the inn, saw that the Qinghai Dao chief was extraordinary, not like a simple person, so he quickly told Zhao Zhou, which could be regarded as avoiding this 'death disaster'.

Zhao Zhou also came out of the backyard, and specially looked at the Qinghai Daoist, and after estimating that this Taoist was the person he was looking for, he also made friends with him, and asked the back kitchen to serve him a table of wine.

I went back to the backyard, saying that I was not in good spirits and wanted to rest.

The purpose is to drag him.

This cooker is also a big man among the dozen or so people accompanying Zhao Zhou, his cooking skills are good, at least Zhao Zhou thinks it is very delicious, not inferior to ordinary restaurant chefs, this is not like perfunctory.

And this Qinghai Daoist, seeing Zhao Zhou's kindness, really couldn't refuse.

It can also be said that he does not hit the smiling person.

Anyway, he thought about going to the night, and really sat in the inn for an afternoon, ready to thank Zhao Zhou, and left.

Now.

When Qinghai Daoist saw Zhao Zhou coming, it was not good to thin Zhao Zhou's face, and he also took out a few silver dollars from his sleeves, which seemed to be about to settle the bill.

"Boss Zhao, this matter is really indescribable, the poor road is..."

"Dao Chief, you are a master, this is the money to see the outside."

Zhao Zhou returned the salute, took out a jar of good wine on the wine shelf, and placed it next to his table full of food, "Besides." Now that I haven't finished eating this wine and food, it's really a bit of a waste. ”

"Boss Zhao, you are too polite, this table of food will be served after eating, I can't finish it...."Seeing Zhao Zhou so hospitable, the Taoist chief couldn't cry or laugh. If it weren't for the fact that he was a cultivator, although he saw that Goatee and the others didn't look like good people, he felt that the innkeeper had no malice and no problems with the food, and he thought that he had encountered something 'wrong'.

"I didn't eat at noon anyway, I even ate a piece in the evening. If the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, let's have a drink and leave after eating, so as not to disappoint the chef. Zhao Zhou said, seeing that the Qinghai Daoist sighed a little, and then pointed to the goatees dressed up by the guys next to him, "Especially with so many guys watching, if you leave, I can't get off the stage." ”

"This...."Qinghai Daoist is also blocked by his own 'face', and it is not good to thin the face of Boss Zhao, who has just met, and it is really difficult to answer.

In particular, he was not sure whether the Marshal's Mansion was haunted, and he was even more in a dilemma, so he sat down according to Zhao Zhou's words.

When Zhao Zhou saw it, he also asked the goatee to fill a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and poured two bowls of wine, one point and one push.

"Dao Chief, please."

"Please...."The Taoist chief smiled bitterly, and saw that Zhao Zhou had dried up in one gulp, and he also drank it in one gulp.

And they are also chatting and drinking.

About an hour passed, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

When the Taoist chief was dizzy and grabbed a chopstick shredded meat to drink, drunkenness surged forward, and he suddenly leaned forward, and pulled the dishes and chopsticks in front of him on the ground, making several tables of guests next to him look sideways.

"If the Taoist can't drink too much, why drink more." When Zhao Zhou heard this, he also put the wine glass on the table, and asked the goatee to clean up again, "Prepare a clean room for the Taoist chief." ”

"Good Ratcha!" The goatee also shouted like the shopkeeper, called a person, and carried the Taoist chief into the courtyard.

It's just that after they sent the Taoist chief to the house, they also took out a packet of medicinal incense from their arms and sprinkled it on while lighting the lamp in the house.

"Dao Chief, Zhao Ye has ordered, let you sleep well today, don't worry about anything." When the goatee had finished sprinkling the medicine, he closed the doors and windows, and let the man who had come with him stay and watch, and then went back to his life.

Also in this matter fell.

Zhao Zhou was still eating the table of food and drinking wine in the inn, as if he was not drunk with a thousand cups.

The goatee who came out of the courtyard saw that he was also trotting two steps, and said softly: "Master Zhao, it's done."

"Yes. I can be regarded as saving the life of the Taoist Chief, so that he did not die at the hands of those demons. Zhao Zhou held the food while motioning for the goatee to eat with him, "After all, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

"Yes, Zhao Ye! You're right! The goatee bent down to toast while pursuing, "Zhao Ye is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter to save people's lives!" ”

"Eat."

Zhao Zhou ordered some food with chopsticks, "After eating, don't leave it behind." ”

After speaking.

Zhao Zhou saw that the goatee had a straight face, and he concentrated on eating, and then he drank another bowl of good wine, turned his head to look at the sky, and said to the monk at the counter who was counting today's income: "How long is it?"

"It's already born." The monk dialed the abacus, "About half an hour." ”

"Take someone with you and go." Zhao Zhou said, looked at the goatee who had gotten up before he could swallow the food, and said, "You eat well, and take care of the Taoist chief by the way."

"Master Zhao...."The goatee shouted indistinctly, bowed, and stopped talking.

Zhao Zhou took the monk and a few men out of the inn together and walked straight in the direction of the Marshal's Mansion.

also waited for the group to pass through the alleys and intersections, and arrived in front of the Marshal's Mansion.

It was already around nine o'clock in the evening.

But the strange thing is that there are no pedestrians in front of the Marshal's Mansion now, not even passing by.

And this is also because of the 'haunted' thing of the Dashuai Mansion, basically the nearby residents have heard about it, and they must rather believe it than believe it, whether they can pass from here, and definitely not from here.

At this time, the gate of the Marshal's Mansion was also open, and it was deserted inside, and there were no lanterns even lit, and everyone looked at it in a panic.

"Master Zhao."

It was also here that the monk smelled the faint smell of blood in the air, took a few steps forward, and whispered to Zhao Zhou: "This time should be just right." Now that the 'Yaksha and Rakshasa' have just been born, and they are still eating the Circle Path, it is the weakest time. But they also have 'relics' and can already be used. ”

The monk said, lowering his voice again, "As long as this relic is completed, there is no distinction between strong and weak. As long as it is fed with blood, it can be rounded. ”

"Thank you for your words." Zhao Zhou bowed, took the Qinghong sword wrapped in a strip of cloth from one of his subordinates, suddenly held his breath, stepped forward, landed silently, the reflection next to him floated, one step seventy or eighty meters, and he didn't care if the monks kept up with them.

But.

When Zhao Zhou passed by the main courtyard and walked into the mansion of the other courtyard, he suddenly heard the sound of 'squeak' chewing, and then stepped on his tiptoes, jumped up to the wall, and saw a seven or eight-year-old 'child' in the attached courtyard, lying on the body of a female corpse next to the big tree in the courtyard view.

Again, the squeak is coming from here.

It's just that, in Zhao Zhou's opinion, this 'child' is full of hideousness, has no skin all over his body, and is stained with the flesh and blood of the female corpse under him, and does not look like a 'human'.

"Is this the Yaksha or the Rakshasas." Zhao Zhou observed for a few breaths and saw that it had not yet discovered itself, and then listened carefully to the surroundings, only to find that it was the only 'person' here.

And the other 'Yakshasas and Rakshasas' don't know where they have gone.

"Could it be that the flesh and blood are not enough, they have gone to other places to forage for food..."Zhao Zhou had some guesses, but he didn't care so much, he directly pulled it with one hand, and threw the Qinghong Sword at the 'child' like an arrow!

Time.

With the sound of the 'sassy' wind, as soon as the 'child' raised his head and before he could react, there was a 'snap', and the Qinghong Sword pierced it through and nailed it to the ground.

But even with such a 'strange noise', Zhao Zhou only found that except for the footsteps of the monks and others behind him, there was still silence in the mansion.

Especially with the black smoke, the resentful eyes of this 'child' also looked at Zhao Zhou, revealing a row of bloodshot fangs, and said: "I know that you put me half a month ago."

It spoke, with hatred and begging for mercy in its voice, which blended together strangely, and there was a sense of confusion.

"Zhao Ye?!" At the same time, with a question, the monk also came from outside, first saw that Zhao Zhou was fine, and then saw this 'child', looked around, thought about it, and said: "Zhao Ye, this hungry ghost is good at food, especially the whole five evil ghosts who were only born, must not have enough 'flesh and blood', and the other four left it alone, and went to other places, wanting to go their separate ways and cultivate into a 'righteous body bodhisattva'."

"It's just like I thought." When Zhao Zhou heard the monk's words, he also fell from the courtyard, walked in front of the 'child', and looked at it as if begging for mercy.

"Zhao Ye, these four demons have run away, will too many people die..."One of the people accompanying him saw the flesh-and-blood appearance of this 'child', but he was not indifferent, but was a little frightened, feeling that his master's family seemed to have released a group of 'man-eating monsters!'

However, when Zhao Zhou looked over, this person's scalp exploded, and he trembled and didn't dare to speak.

"How can too many people die?" Zhao Zhou stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder under the man's frightened gaze, "According to the monks, this 'Yaksha and Rakshasa' will only eat the flesh and blood of people with disabilities. If the body is straight, courteous, righteous and filial, where will you be afraid of these things? ”

Zhao Zhou said, looking around, "In this way, those are not the four evil ghosts. It is clear that the four 'bodhisattvas' have traveled all over the world, transformed the 'sinners', and educated the common people, how can you say that the lives are ruined? ”

"Yes.... Zhao Ye.. What are you talking about.... That's the Bodhisattva.. Sa...."The man wept and hurried. The others also nodded their heads and called the 'evil ghost' a 'bodhisattva'.

And the monk went back and forth to the main hall to get five porcelain bottles, and when he saw everyone taking a 'bodhisattva', he also turned his heart and said to Zhao Zhou: "Master Zhao, I have a general technique, and I can use their 'previous life bodies' as a guide to track down the whereabouts of the four 'reincarnated bodhisattvas'."

"That's fine." Zhao Zhou nodded, and looked at the 'child' who begged for mercy, "Since you know that I let the five of you out, why do you only leave yourself?" Could it be that you think that you can save me Zhao Zhou with your own ability alone. ”

Zhao Zhou said, not caring about its begging gaze for mercy, but squatted down, struck an eagle claw, buckled into its heart, twisted, pulled, and took out a round bead with a size of one inch like 'jade'.

"However, now in my opinion, it should be your four brothers and sisters who want to give me Zhao Zhou a gift and prevent me from chasing and killing them. It's just that one is too little to wear a string of hand beads. ”

After Zhao Zhou finished speaking, he rubbed the blood stains on the relics in his hands, and glanced at the trembling person before leaving this courtyard.

"Chase."
