Chapter Seventy-Eight: Strange Stories of the Ancient Tombs
"Daochang Li?!"
Zhang Ran looked at this bloodied young Taoist in surprise, and he didn't quite understand why he was so embarrassed.
This Li Daoren is the innate qi refiner who once invited Zhang Ran to become a sect guest!
However, this one of the only three innate qi refiners in the county had completely lost his previous bearing at this time......
"Divine doctor, heal my wounds first!"
Li Daoren grinned and sat on the ground, even throwing the flying sword aside, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Ran even saw the crack on the flying sword!
"What kind of monster are you fighting?"
Zhang Ran secretly complained, but his hands didn't stop, first helped the injured Li Daoren into the house, and then began to check his injuries.
After a while, Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, don't look at Li Daoren's embarrassment, covered in blood, as if he was seriously injured.
In fact, he only had a few long and deep cuts on his back, and a few ribs were broken, which was not a serious injury for the Qi Refiner......
The wound on his back has been sealed by Li Daoren with spiritual power, not much blood has been shed, and the broken bones have also been reset by him, Zhang Ran only needs to bandage the wound to speed up the recovery.
There were no medical utensils prepared in the house, only some yellow silk silks specially used for casting spells, so Zhang Ran used the silk silk as cotton cloth and tied Li Daoren horizontally several times.
He secretly took out a few healing pills to promote wound healing from the red envelope, and helped Li Daoren take it internally and externally......
Li Daoren, who was injured in his back and could only lie on the soft couch, sighed:
"Thanks to the divine doctor for saving me in time, otherwise my old bones might have left some dark wounds!"
"Don't thank me yet, tell me what's going on?"
Zhang Ran put his face on the board:
"Daoist Li, aren't you an innate qi refiner? How could it hurt like this? ”
As one of the only three qi refiners in the county, Li Daoren's ability is really powerful enough, and with one move of flying sword and pill, even the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant dare not try the edge.
Even the county order can only consume him with spells from a distance, and once he enters the effective attack range of the flying sword, Shen Xiu's fragile body will be killed by a sword in seconds!
In terms of lethality alone, none of the county government trio dared to compare with him.
But even such a cowhide qi refiner was also beaten to the point that his ribs were broken, and even the flying sword was cracked......
"It's a demon in an ancient tomb."
Li Daoren hated and said:
"Originally, there were ordinary sects on the rivers and lakes who reported to my Songtao faction, saying that there were demon beasts in the northern villages of the county border that hurt people, and they injured several good hands in a row.
"Who would have thought that the demon beast lived in an ancient tomb, although the poor road seriously injured the demon beast that was not in the climate with a sword, but accidentally triggered the tomb protection mechanism, and was caught off guard by the mechanism, and the demon beast took the opportunity to sneak attack, so he was injured......"
As he spoke, Li Daoren struggled to stand up from the couch, Zhang Ran was still a little worried, but when he saw that the other party seemed to be fine, he relaxed his heart.
Li Daoren raised his hand and made a move, and the flying sword outside flew back in response to the call, turning into a pill that he swallowed in one gulp, and the moment he swallowed it, his face distorted, as if there was some kind of strong pain.
He smiled helplessly:
"Actually, all the injuries on Poor Dao's body are small, and the cracks of this flying sword are serious injuries, I don't know how long it will take to cultivate before it gets better......"
"Divine doctor, I know that you have a relationship with the county zun, please inform him of this matter as soon as possible, and let the county zun solve the demon beast and seal the ancient tomb so that no one can enter by mistake."
Zhang Ran nodded when he heard this, but he was puzzled:
"Since this is such an important matter, why don't you go and explain it to the county lord in person?"
"Hehe......"
Li Daoren sneered:
"How dare you go to see the county with this appearance! Maybe you'll have to go and never go back......"
……
"Really?!"
In the small hall, the county commander's eyes narrowed.
Zhang Ran said seriously:
"Daochang Li did say that there are demon beasts and traps in that ancient tomb......"
"Not this! Is this official saying that [Li Cong] is really injured? ”
The county commander's eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement, and Zhang Ran's heart sank:
It really made Li Daochang right, between the ancient tomb demon beast and the news of his injury, the county commander didn't care about the previous news at all, and this excited appearance made Zhang Ran have no doubt that he would take the opportunity to beat the water dog!
If one can't be done, the ancient tomb has not been solved, and he Li has to be solved first......
"Don't you know, that Li Cong is not only the ancestor of the Songtao faction, the largest force in the county, but also the backer of all the martial artists in the county."
"The warriors rely on his existence, and even dare to openly confront the county soldiers, he is one of the sources of all the unstable factors in the county, if a few of him are lost, the annual Jianghu cases will be at least half!"
Zhang Ran suddenly realized, no wonder these two parties have always been at odds with each other, it turns out that this is the Xianxia version of the official struggle with the local underworld gangs......
Although the temptation to kill Li Daoren was great, the county magistrate finally regrettably gave up this plan:
"Forget it, since he didn't dare to come in person and let you pass the word, it proves that he is giving in to the official by taking advantage of his injury, hinting that he will retreat and recuperate from his injuries in the near future, and will not come forward to protect the warriors of the rivers and lakes, since this is the case, ......"
The county magistrate was overjoyed, and immediately took a blank official document scroll, waved his big hand, and walked the pen away......
Zhang Ran peeked at it, and the content was almost the same:
[Recently, the underworld forces in the rivers and lakes have been rampant, and I really can't bear the county master, so I inherited the responsibility of the imperial court and obeyed the will of the people, and decided to personally organize the county soldiers to a big campaign to severely crack down on the underworld forces......]
Boy!
Zhang Ran secretly thought, this order, at least the forces in the county don't want to mix up, the county lord is determined to get them, and those "heroes of the rivers and lakes" have no choice, so go to prison obediently......
Perhaps it was the problem of consciousness caused by joining the imperial court, Zhang Ran's position was obviously shifted to the side of the imperial court, and he was extremely disgusted with these "heroes" who disturbed social order.
If he stood on the position of the rivers and lakes, he would probably be scolding the dog officials and his minions at this time, persecuting the children of the rivers and lakes who do the right thing for heaven and rob the rich and help the poor......
Wait a minute! Did you forget something?
Zhang Ran was stunned, and then hesitated:
"County Zun, you are here to organize a crackdown, what should you do about the ancient tomb......
"Minor problem."
The county magistrate smiled slightly, put down the pen and ink in his hand:
"Strike hard? Well, that's a pretty good name, so let's keep it in the future. ”
"The official has to organize a crackdown, the county lieutenant has to personally lead the troops, and the county has to handle daily official business, and you are the only one who goes......"
Zhang Ran was shocked:
"Me?"
"That's right, it's you!"
The county order said solemnly:
"As the successor of this official, you naturally have to go through a lot of experience, and this is a good opportunity for training."
"Your qi and blood cultivation is on par with the county lieutenant, and you also have the cultivation of the Yuan Shen, and your combat effectiveness alone is stronger than any of the three of us, and even worse than Li Congdao, what you lack is just experience."
"Besides, since that demon beast is not a climate, and Li Cong has already seriously injured it with a sword, it is relatively simple to deal with......"
In short, who else is you!
Zhang Ran is stupid, what about squeezing labor?
I'm just the next county magistrate, and strictly speaking, I can't be considered a court official yet, and shouldn't these jobs be the responsibility of your parents' officials......
But Zhang Ran really couldn't speak, in the expression of the county order's face [believe you, it will definitely work], his lips moved, and finally he saluted helplessly:
"Then thank you for the county's kindness......"
