Chapter Twenty-Three: Whereabouts
That's right, Linshan County Zun and Zhang Qingyun are here again.
Without waiting for them to knock on the door, Gu Qianqiu opened the door and greeted him, after all, the face of a county parent official still has to be given.
"What kind of wind is this today, which actually blew the county lord and Zhang Zhutou together? The presence of the two adults made my humble house shine. ”
At this moment, Gu Qianqiu was in a very good mood, after all, the arrival of the county lord Zhuang Weiming meant the arrival of Dao Gong and treasures.
Zhuang Weiming, who is a parent of a county, is not in a good mood at the moment, as long as he thinks that he may bleed again this time, it is strange that his mood can get better.
was to greet and greet him, without the slightest special expression, and said lightly: "What kind of wind can it be, a demon wind." ”
When Gu Qianqiu heard this, he didn't care, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please come in and talk in detail~"
As soon as he sat down, Zhuang Weiming said directly: "What is this official doing here, I believe that Gu Immortal Master, I have expected it, right?" ”
Gu Qianqiu said unhurriedly: "I don't dare to say that I knew it early, I can only say that I guessed a little, but I don't know, whether the guess is right or not." ”
Zhuang Weiming glanced at him, when, the monk who cultivated immortals, was so thick-skinned? It's almost the same as him, an old oilman who has been in the court for more than ten years.
This ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is really powerful, thinking of this, he felt bored for a while, and he was too lazy to continue the ink with him.
With a sinking face and sharp eyes, Zhuang Weiming said in a deep voice: "Since two days ago, there have been rumors in the market that there are demons and demons, and now, several pairs of boys and girls have disappeared in the city.
So far, the whereabouts are unknown, and the yamen has gone through an all-out investigation, and even searched the city, but nothing has been found, not to mention the trace of the demon, not even its shadow has been seen. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Gu Qianqiu, who seemed to be listening very seriously, before he continued: "Until not long ago, someone went to search with an exorcism talisman.
I finally found a little clue, this official is here today, just for this case, and I hope that Gu Immortal Master will help, capture and kill the harmful people and demons, and return me to the mountain a peace. ”
Gu Qianqiu nodded, and asked a little curiously, "Lord Zhuang, where did you find the traces of demons?" ”
Zhuang Weiming glanced at Zhang Qingyun behind him, and suddenly, Zhang Qingyun, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, suddenly 'woke up' and replied immediately.
"We found it in Qingxuguan, ten miles away from the county seat, where there are the remains of a boy and a girl."
Gu Qianqiu was shocked, he was killed so soon? Hurriedly asked, "In the Taoist temple?" Could it be that there is no one in that temple? ”
Zhang Qingyun nodded, his tone was a little sad: "That's true, the reason why we found out about it was purely a coincidence, just because some believers went to pray for blessings and shouted for a long time."
But no one came out, the previous Guan Zhu Qingxu Zhenren, and his two apprentices, all disappeared without a trace, and there was a high probability that they were killed by the demon. ”
After listening to this, Gu Qianqiu's brows tightened, this situation is completely inconsistent with what he thought, in other words, in this world, there are not only demons who eat boys and girls, but also many of them.
Even some old demons and demons are good at this, but when they catch a boy or girl, they don't eat it immediately, but they run out of the demon more than ten miles away to eat.
He really hadn't heard of it, he instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with it, either or the demon, just a little demon, with a cautious and reluctant personality.
Knowing that there is a presence in this city that may threaten his life, he deliberately avoided it so as not to bump into it, but this is also a bit unreasonable.
Either there is a reason why you have to do this, maybe it's to cover up something, or maybe it's the Taoist temple that hides something.
"Immortal Master... What do you think? Seeing that the immortal master didn't know what to think, Zhang Qingyun was so engrossed that he hurriedly reminded him softly.
Gu Qianqiu, who reacted, said slightly apologetically: "Don't blame the two, I thought of something just now, and I was a little absorbed for a while; I don't know what Master Zhuang said just now? ”
"As long as Immortal Master Gu helps me get rid of this demon, this official is willing to pay me a hundred taels of silver, how about it?"
Gu Qianqiu shook his head, Zhuang Weiming frowned, and his tone was a little displeased: "Does Mr. Gu think that the remuneration is too little?" ”
Good guy, I was an immortal master before, but now when I can't talk about it, I will become Mr. Gu? How did your attitude change so naturally?
"No, Gu said earlier, I am also a person from Linshan, as a local person, isn't it natural to contribute money and strength to Linshan?
Where does the dislike come from? What Gu meant, can you exchange the hundred taels of silver for gold? ”
Ahem~
Behind him, Zhang Qingyun coughed several times in a row, looking at Gu Qianqiu's eyes, they were full of surprise, as if to say, there are still such brazen people in the world?
Not to mention him, even Zhuang Weiming, who has been in battle for a long time, couldn't stand it a little, his hand holding the teacup shook several times, and his face twitched even more.
After a while, Zhuang Weiming seemed to come back to his senses, and said with a pity: "Good, this official still has official business, so I will leave first." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and left, and his steps were like flying, because he was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would not be able to bear it at some point, and then he would go berserk.
If it's someone else, then it's okay, if you go berserk, you run wild, who dares to fight back? But Gu Qianqiu is obviously different, he is a monk, he has mana and mastery of spells.
Not to mention the question of whether you can win the fight, if you annoy others, just give yourself a shot, then his ashes may not be found.
"Well, this... The county has something to do, leave first, and hope that the immortal master will not blame, now that the traces of the demon have appeared, I don't know when the immortal master will go to kill the demon and eliminate the demon? ”
Zhang Qingyun was slightly embarrassed, but he still had to bite the bullet and say.
Gu Qianqiu pursed his lips, his mentality was so bad, and he said that the sea had been up and down for more than ten years, who would believe it? I'm afraid it's not that the cowhide is blowing into the sky.
"Since time is pressing, the sooner the better, go now."
Zhang Qingyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly led the way, and soon, he came to the street outside Wutong Lane, pointed to the carriage in front of him and said, "Immortal Master, please~"
Seeing this, he was not surprised, the last time he went to Qianjiazhuang to eliminate demons, the reason why he didn't have these arrangements was just because it was night, and the time was urgent.
Now, it's daytime, although I found the traces of the demon, the time may be a little tight, but this thing can't be missing, otherwise, ask him to walk to get rid of the demon?
Sitting on the bumpy carriage, Gu Qianqiu felt that the bones all over his body seemed to fall apart, and the roads outside the city and in the city were completely two existences.
Along the way, in order to avoid the suffering of bumps, he had no choice but to devote himself to his own world, thinking wildly, as for cultivating or reading.
To distract himself, he tried, but he couldn't, if he did it by force, he would be even more upset.
