Chapter 57: Report to the Officer
Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts and began to look around.
The ghost was included in the "Dead Jade", and there was nothing left, mainly the snake demon.
The massive corpse of the snake demon lay silently on the ground, its scales shattered and its flesh blurred. After a while, a thin layer of snow had fallen, but it was not as miserable as just now.
Legend has it that the monster has a demon pill, but Qi Xuansu has never seen it, he came to the snake corpse, carefully examined it, and then broke the snake's mouth, and saw a turquoise bead rolling out.
If nothing else, the poisonous gas that was sprayed with Qi Xuansu just now came from this.
The beads were not big, slightly smaller than chickens, Qi Xuansu remembered that the snake demon had brought a box with him when he came, and returned to the house, and sure enough, the box was still on the table, and it was not affected by the fight.
Qi Xuansu opened the box, and a puff of light smoke came to his face.
However, Qi Xuansu had already taken precautions, and had already held his breath while jumping backwards.
After all, the speed at which the smoke drifted could not be compared to the wind, and it did not touch Qi Xuansu in the slightest. But if Qi Xuansu is lustful and loses his guard, most of them will not be able to hide, then he will capsize in the gutter and die unjustly.
"There are a lot of tricks." Qi Xuansu picked up the box, and saw that there was a layer of silk inside, since this box can hold smoke, I think it is a little wonderful. Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pulled out the silk silk, then returned to the house, wrapped several layers of turquoise beads with the silk silk, and put them in the satchel.
After doing this, Qi Xuansu cleared his throat, sank into the dantian, and shouted: "Someone! ”
Not to mention that this voice shook for hundreds of miles, at least the entire Xiang Mansion could be heard clearly.
Xiang's house, which had been silent and pitch black, finally had a human voice, and the lights slowly turned on.
……
Qingshui Temple is named because it is close to Qingshui Station and belongs to Liangzhou Provincial Government.
The provincial government of Daomen can be divided into three levels, that is, state, prefecture, and county. The Taoist government itself does not need to say much, it corresponds to the state level, and the two levels of the prefecture and county under it are called Taoist temples, the difference is only in the size, and the people who have been inside the Taoist gate for a long time are naturally very easy to distinguish, but outsiders are easy to be confused, why is it the same Taoist temple, but this Taoist temple has to obey the orders of another Taoist temple.
Qingshui Temple is a small Taoist temple at the county level, different from the county, the Taoist temple does not manage civil affairs, mainly for the demon preaching to bewitch the people and ghosts and demons harm people, which is also one of the reasons why the Taoist gate and the imperial court have coexisted for many years but have nothing to do.
Zhou Taoist is the deacon Taoist priest of Qingshui Temple, a general view of the power, life is not bad, although Liangzhou is located in the northwest, not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, but probably because of the small number of people in Liangzhou, the secret association is not very noisy. If you think about it carefully, the demons of the secret association are also human beings, and they can't escape human nature, who doesn't want to go to the prosperous Jiangnan? There are a lot of people there, and it is easier to develop believers, and the key is to enjoy it.
Not only are there moths inside the Daomen, but there are also moths inside those secret associations, and there are many members of the secret associations who take the opportunity to develop believers, greedy for enjoyment, let believers fund to support themselves, and also occupy the wives and daughters of believers.
Many secret societies, including the Purple Light Society, the Zhiming Sect, and the Lingshan Witch Sect, are also troubled by this problem, especially the problem of the "Heavenly Court", although it is extremely powerful and has the largest number of people, but the internal corruption is also the most serious.
Even if it is the Qingping Society, which takes the elite route, there are also members like Qi Xuansu who are in the Qingping Association and have their hearts in the Daomen, which can be seen.
Therefore, the eradication of these secret associations by the Daomen is still very popular.
The snow was fluttering, and Daoist Zhou was also elegant, put on his own crane, greeted three or two friends, cooked wine around the stove in the small pavilion, and enjoyed the snow by the way.
It corresponds to the famous poem "Ask Liu Nineteen".
Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove. If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing.
Good artistic conception, good artistic conception.
Just when Daoist Zhou was drinking beautifully, someone came over in a hurry, and suddenly the artistic conception was broken.
Daoist Zhou said unhappily: "So flustered, what's wrong?" ”
The person who reported the news was a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and said urgently: "Deacon, there is a monster!" It seems to have eaten people! ”
Daoist Zhou was taken aback, and a little bit of alcohol suddenly dissipated without a trace: "Monster?!" It's not a demon, it's a youkai? ”
"It's a monster, it's in Xiangjiabao." The Taoist priest said, "There is also a death, I see that Qingluanwei's trial hundred households have already brought people over. ”
"Good guys, let's hurry up, hurry, greet our people, bring everything with the guys, and lose everything when you don't do it." Daoist Zhou was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the elegance of the vassals, and he didn't have the slightest gentleman's temperament, but he looked like a bandit leader who was ready to do business.
The Taoist priest took the order and left.
After a while, Daoist Zhou led the Taoist temple team to go out and go straight to Xiangjiabao.
By the time Daoist Zhou came to Xiangjiabao, it was already early noon, and the group went straight to Xiang's house. At this time, there were many people watching the excitement outside the Xiang Mansion, and there were many discussions, and there were two Qingluan guards with knives standing at the door.
Today, Qingluanwei is no longer much like the secret service of the previous dynasty, but has replaced the functions of the six doors, arresting thieves, arresting demons, and dealing with various murders.
Seeing that the Taoist priests had arrived, the crowd of onlookers parted ways.
The Taoist priests and Qingluanwei are acquaintances, and the two Qingluanwei did not block the road, but took the initiative to meet them, and Daoist Zhou turned over and dismounted, and asked, "You have tried a hundred households?" ”
"It's here, it's here, I'm waiting for the Taoist." A Qingluan Wei replied.
Daoist Zhou threw the reins, straightened his clothes, and then walked into Xiang's house.
The house is messy, people are panicking, there are Qingluanwei's wrestlers along the way, but it saves Zhou Daoist the effort to ask for directions, and just follow Qingluanwei directly.
When I came to the place where the incident occurred, I saw that there were many people standing here. But the most striking thing is the huge snake corpse on the ground, even if it falls a layer of snow, it is very terrifying.
At this time, there were three people standing next to the snake corpse, not alongside the others, obviously people with weight in their words.
One of them is an old acquaintance of Daoist Zhou, who is Qingluanwei's test hundred, and the other two are adult men. One was old, dressed as a gentry, and the other was young, dressed in a cloak.
Daoist Zhou came to the side of the trial hundred households and asked softly, "What is the specific situation?" ”
"I have just arrived. ”
Daoist Zhou looked at the other two.
The gentry dressed humanely: "In the next item such as a forest, the master of this place." ”
Xiang Rulin's face was pale, and he didn't know if it was because he was frightened.
The other person was Qi Xuansu, he took out his waist card and said, "Down there is General Loulan's personal soldiers, Wei Wugui." ”
Daoist Zhou also wanted to take the waist card and check it, so he heard Baihu say softly: "I've seen it, it's true." ”
"It turned out to be a man in black." Daoist Zhou immediately dispelled the idea of looking at the waist card, he is a Taoist person, and he will never be more poisonous than Qingluanwei's vision, especially in identifying the imperial court tokens.
Qi Xuansu told his previous rhetoric again, how he went to the Huzhou palace in the name of the general, passed through here, closed the road in the heavy snow, and how to spend the night. In the middle of the night, a snake demon turned into a woman and came to harm people, but he saw through it and killed him directly.
Daoist Zhou was surprised and said: "The monster that can transform into a monster, to say the least, is also the jade void stage, the brother can kill the monster, and he is not weak in his cultivation." ”
Qi Xuansu smiled: "It's not worth mentioning, it's just a martial artist in the Jade Void stage." ”
Daoist Zhou was speechless in his heart, General Loulan was so magnificent, and the unofficial and unqualified pro-soldiers under his command all had the cultivation of the Yuxu stage, but he thought about it, most of the henchmen of the big people could not be reasoned with the usual theory, and he, the deacon and Taoist priest, saw the Taoist boy who served beside the mansion master, didn't he have to be respectful? Don't look at it as just a pro-soldier without quality, maybe you won't change it for a guerrilla. Maybe this person is not from the man in black at all, but a personal entourage from the palace, so he hangs a pro-soldier without quality.
Shi Baihu said: "Since the Taoist has arrived, if you have no opinion, then I will start the autopsy." ”
Daoist Zhou came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Okay, autopsy." ”
Try Baihu took a pair of gloves from his subordinates and put them on his hands, and Qingluan Wei swept away the snow on the snake corpse and began the autopsy.
