Chapter 3 What kind of revenge can a little Taoist priest have?
Jiang Chou only felt that he was waving a broom and slapping it on a ball of cotton, and he didn't feel any hindrance in his hand.
It's a little squishy.
The shimmer exploded like a marshmallow, and when I looked at it again, where was the shadow of Yan Ke in front of me?
Jiang Chou's pupils shrank slightly.
What about people?
You won't be killed by yourself, will you?
No way! Yang Ke is an excellent disciple of Zhongtongmen, how could he be killed by a broom of his own uncultivated person?
Then there is only one explanation left.
Yang Ke teleported with a magical Dao method!
The speed was so fast that I couldn't see his movements at all.
Jiang Chou looked left and right, and the only sound in the backyard was quiet was the sound of paper money being blown on the ground by the breeze.
Didn't find it.
Jiang Chou became more and more afraid, the other party's cultivation was really wonderful, and the range of teleportation was much larger than this small backyard, so he couldn't find the other party at all.
Either way, I'm afraid it's far from over.
When Zhongtongmen came to the door again, Jiang Chou still had to move out.
The other party is in the middle of the door, can you fight against it?
He bent down to pick up the old Taoist's spirit card, carefully wiped it with his sleeve, stared at the handwriting on it and muttered, "Really, why didn't you hold back...... Old man, if I have any advantages and shortcomings because of this, all your paper money will belong to me after I go down. ”
……
Although it was not clear why Yang Ke would use such a powerful trick as teleportation to deal with a defenseless little Taoist like himself, this did not prevent Jiang Chou from being in a solemn mood.
However, dignified to dignified, such a troubled time has come to the hour, and it is time to welcome guests.
Jiang Chou frowned lightly, opened the gate, swept the fallen leaves in the front yard, and lit the candle in front of the statue of Sanqing.
When he lit the candles, he suddenly thought that Yang Ke had snatched his two candles just now, and thought that so much candle paper money would definitely not be able to be taken away, could it be kept for the people of Zhongtongmen?
"Dreaming!"
Jiang Chou's handsome face darkened instantly, and he pursed his lips and walked to the candle pile, the corners of his eyes twitched strugglingly, and he took a deep breath slowly.
Then he filled the entire inner sanctum with candles one by one, in front of the statue, behind the statue, on the incense stand, on the window edge, and even on the ground!
There is not even a place to put your feet in the entire main hall.
Then they lit up one by one.
Hundreds of candles burned in broad daylight, like the surface of a pond of flames, sparkling.
Jiang Chou's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his eyes were a little red.
"Don't let anyone try to take advantage of me!"
He almost gritted his teeth and said this, shook his head sharply, and walked towards the backyard.
If you can't take the paper money away, burn it all to the old man.
"Old man, after burning this time, you don't have the face to ask me for paper money in this life!"
Jiang Chou wiped his face with a worried expression.
Just as he was about to burn the paper money, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the front yard.
Jiang Chou chuckled violently in his heart, Yang Ke came back so soon?
However, before he could think about it again, a hurried roar came from the front yard.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
"Daoist Koe? Are you in there!? ”
The voice...... Is it Chu Banshan, the fast-catching leader of Qinghe County under the mountain?
How did he come? Could it be that there is another case related to demons in Qinghe County?
Otherwise, how could this middle-aged, fat, and lustful head catcher come to a place like Xiaoqingguan, which is so light and bitter?
When Jiang Chou came to the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a head-catching robe, wearing a hat, and a standard black sheath and a simple knife at his waist, standing at the door of the main hall, looking in with his feet on his feet.
His two hairy hands held the belts on both sides, the front of which was obscured by a protruding belly, barely visible.
"Daoist Xiaojiang, so you are here." Chu Banshan saw Jiang Chou, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said.
Jiang Chou walked to the front of the hall around the candles in the hall, looked at Chu Banshan and asked calmly: "Chu Zhutou came to Xiaoqingguan, is there an accident in the county again?" ”
At this moment, Jiang Chou turned his back to the entire hall, and countless candles in the hall were burning in the wind.
Standing in the position of Chu Banshan, these candles seemed to burn on Jiang Chou's shoulders and the back of his head, and the firelight reflected the young Taoist priest in front of him extremely solemn, especially the calm and bright eyes, as if the fairy king was in the dust.
Chu Banshan's expression was slightly in a trance, and he subconsciously had the idea of bowing, and then came back to his senses, thinking that it was not the first time he had seen Xiaojiang Daochang, why he was in a trance every time.
He bowed his head slightly and said to Jiang Chou: "Xiao Jiangdao is like a god, and there is indeed another evil thing in the county. ”
Chu Banshan and Jiang Chou's master and apprentice are also half acquaintances, and they directly explained the matter at the moment.
A strange thing has happened in Qinghe County these days!
In recent days, a total of seven babies have been born in Qinghe County, but the shocking thing is that none of these babies have survived for three days!
Even if someone stays by the baby's side every step of the way, in the blink of an eye, the originally ruddy baby will be stiff and blue, and all of them will die, and even a few babies will disappear, leaving only an empty swaddling cloth.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chou frowned, this was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, and it didn't sound like a mortal.
"After some investigation, I suspect that it was a monster, so I want to trouble the chief of Koe to go tonight." Chu Banshan said.
Jiang Chou didn't agree immediately, and didn't say whether the monster would be too strong beyond his ability, but said that he was in the current situation that he couldn't protect, and once he got off the mountain, would he be able to come back?
But he couldn't bear to watch the baby under the mountain being murdered.
"Does Chief Koe have concerns?" Chu Banshan has been a good person for half his life, and when he saw Jiang Chou's hesitation at a glance, he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "When I just went up the mountain, I seemed to see someone from Zhongtongmen......
The relationship between Zhongtongmen and Xiaoqingguan is naturally known to Chu Banshan, who is the head of the county seat.
"Chu Zhutou understands Zhongtongmen?" Jiang Chou's eyes lit up, and he didn't hide it, and asked.
Whether it is Jiang Chou or the old Taoist priest who drove the crane to the west, they are not serious Taoist priests, they only know that Zhongtongmen is a subordinate sect, and it must be much stronger than Xiaoqingguan, but the others know nothing.
"I don't know much about it, but after all, it is the largest sect in our Qinghe County and Pingyang County next door, and I still know the basic information."
"Zhongtongmen, Jiupin Sect, located in the suburbs of Qinghe County and Pingyang County, there are three affiliated small sects, and the head of the sect is said to be a cultivator of the foundation realm, and there are more than a dozen qi refining cultivators under the door."
"Qi refining...... Zhuji ......" Jiang Chou bowed his head while listening.
Qi refining, foundation building, and knotting Dan are the first three realms of cultivation in this world. Jiang Chou didn't even reach the level of qi refining, and naturally he didn't care about the realm behind him.
Now that I know the approximate strength of Zhongtongmen, although it is not as strong as Jiang Chou imagined before, the more than a dozen Qi refining cultivators and a foundation building master are definitely not something that he can resist.
Is there a difference between a millionaire and a billionaire for a family above and below the poverty line?
They are all existences that need to be looked up to.
"I heard that two days ago, Zhongtongmen seems to have signed some documents with Pei County's order, and Xiaojiang Daochang's worries are not related to this matter?" Chu Banshan asked.
Jiang Chou nodded and said, "They paid 1,000 taels to buy my title deed." ”
"A thousand taels? Little Qingguan title deed?! Chu Banshan's face changed, and he said angrily, "What's the difference between this and robbing?" ”
Jiang Chou smiled: "That's what I said." ”
Chu Banshan sighed, glanced at Jiang Chou and said, "If this is the case, I won't be able to help Daoist Xiao Jiang." ”
"Since Daoist Xiao Jiang can't protect himself, I won't bother. As for the monsters, I'll go find the monks of Bai Yujing in the imperial court, how to say that catching monsters is also their business. ”
Chu Banshan hugged his fist at Jiang Chou and arched his hand, his eyes showed a little helplessness and pity, turned around and left quickly.
Xiao Qingguan is quite good to the master and apprentice, he only collects money and is not greedy, can't he come again in the future......
Thinking that in the future, when he encountered similar cases, he would have to go to Bai Yujing to beg for the group of court monks whose eyes were above the top, Chu Banshan felt a little irritable.
"Chu Zhutou, please stay."
Behind him, Jiang Chou suddenly stopped Chu Banshan.
Chu Banshan turned around, and saw Jiang Chou, who was otherworldly in the light of the firelight, bowed lightly to him, and asked gently:
"I wonder if there is a copy of the "Sect Affiliation Contract" in the yamen?"
