Chapter 31: Wishing you prosperity
After a burst of chickens and dogs, Yang Jian and Jigong explained their intentions and stayed at Zhang Xiu's house.
After all, Zhang Xiu is the only person with demonic energy on their side, and only by following him can they find and eradicate the minions of the Heavenly Demons, and restore peace to the world.
Zhang Xiu took the two of them to walk in the city for a long time, and finally came to an inn, and looked at the door for a long time with a frown, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and asked in a low voice, "Is that Heavenly Demon's minions inside very tricky?" ”
Zhang Xiu came back to his senses and said, "No, I'm a little thirsty, but I don't have any money with me, and I'm thinking of a way to drink tea without spending money." ”
The corners of Yang Jian's eyes twitched twice, and he said, "Go in, I'll bring the money." ”
Zhang Xiu showed a smiling face: "Then I'm welcome, this time second cousin, you pay the bill, next time Master Daoji comes!" ”
Ji Gong shook his head when he heard this: "The monk can't even afford clothes, but he can't afford to entertain guests." ”
Zhang Xiudao: "Master, don't be modest, with your super cultivation, you can make a lot of money by going to the dock to carry a sack for a few months!" ”
Jigong: "......"
The cultivation I have accumulated in my ten lifetimes of cultivation is used to carry sacks?
Jigong rolled his eyes and followed Zhang Xiu to the inn.
asked for a few refreshments and a pot of tea, Jigong grabbed a piece of shortbread and ate it without any image, and the shortbread dregs splashed on the table, making Yang Jian frown.
was about to make a sarcasm, when suddenly, a middle-aged man with a thin face came into the backyard, leading five donkeys, tied them to the stable, and instructed the shopkeeper: "I want to stay in the hotel, go out to do some errands first, and come back in a while." ”
Then he remembered something, and said, "Don't give them water to drink." With that, he went out.
The donkeys were irritable from the sun, kicking and barking in the backyard.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he was afraid that they would disturb the other guests, so he led them to a shady place.
As soon as the donkey saw the water, he struggled to run over, and the shopkeeper let the donkey drink enough. In the blink of an eye, I saw a donkey rolling on the ground, making the yard dusty.
The shopkeeper was a little flustered, standing in place at a loss, and kept saying, "What's wrong with this donkey, how is this good?" ”
A donkey is not cheap, and if he dies in his shop, the customers will definitely ask him for compensation.
And even if he buys the donkey, he can't sell the sick donkey meat to other guests to eat, won't the money be wasted?
Zhang Xiu looked at the rolling donkey, and felt a little unbearable, and said: "This donkey is sick, you said that I should release it or put green onions and ginger?" ”
Yang Jian glanced at him: "The money I brought is not enough to buy a donkey." ”
While the two were talking, the donkey rolling on the ground suddenly turned into a woman, and stopped rolling in pain.
The shopkeeper was stunned by the scene in front of him, and stood in place, not reacting for a long time.
Zhang Xiu and the others also came to the courtyard with a surprised face, looked at the woman on the ground, and looked carefully.
Yang Jian frowned slightly and said, "It's not a monster, she's a human." ”
Zhang Xiu asked, "This eldest sister, how did you become a donkey?" ”
The woman opened her mouth in a panic, but her tongue was so hard that she could not speak.
Seeing this, Jigong put his hand into his clothes and rubbed a mud pill and fed it to the woman's mouth.
After eating the mud pills, the woman retched, and said in a trembling voice: "It was that demon who turned me into a donkey just now!" He's coming back, take me away! ”
Ji Gong suddenly slapped his head and said: "I remember, in the past fifty years, there has been a kind of witchcraft in the south of the Yangtze River, which is said to be able to turn people into livestock, and the livestock that comes out are exactly the same as the real ones, and the appearance is completely flawless, which is called animal creation."
Those who were turned into cattle were either sold to work or slaughtered, and those who cast spells made a profit. I've only heard about it before, and this is the first time I've encountered it. ”
Yang Jian said with a cold face: "Actually casting such a witchcraft on a person that hurts the heavens and harmony, this person should be killed." ”
The shopkeeper listened to the conversation of several people, and his face turned pale with fright, and he trembled: "Go to the official, I want to report to the official!" ”
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'm an official!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a token and shook it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes, "I am the Jinhua prefect who visited Weifu privately." ”
Then he pointed to Yang Jian and Jigong, and introduced: "These two are my guards, Sandezi and Fayin. ”
Yang Jian: "......"
Jigong: "......"
When I came out for a cup of tea, why was my name changed?
And on your token, it says "Wishing you prosperity"!!
The shopkeeper didn't seem to see the words on the token clearly, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted Zhang Xiu: "Master, what should the villain do now?" ”
Zhang Xiu said: "Bring this woman into the guest room, and I will send someone to take her home later, and I will take care of the rest." ”
The shopkeeper had the backbone of the main heart, no longer afraid, and took the woman to the guest room, and then went to the counter to make calculations as usual.
After a while, the middle-aged man who had left earlier came back with five sheep and tied them to the yard.
Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly found that the donkey was missing, and his face couldn't help but change, and he shouted: "Shopkeeper, why is my donkey missing?" ”
Zhang Xiu walked out of the hall with a smile on his face and said, "I want your donkey." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at him, saw that he was wearing a gorgeous robe, and at first glance he was the young master of a rich and noble family, so he put on a smiling face and said: "Hello young master, that donkey is the best of the five, whether it is for transportation or work, it is a good hand." If you want, young master, just give me five taels of silver!" ”
Zhang Xiu's face changed, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Do you know how the last Hangzhou prefect died?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned: "How did you die?" ”
Zhang Xiu sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I don't know." ”
Middle-aged man: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Then you talk!
Looking at the middle-aged man with a messy face, Zhang Xiu continued: "I don't pay for watermelon on the street, I want you to be a donkey, you dare to ask me for money?" Sandezi, Fa Yin, let him know who has the final say in this Qiantang County! ”
Yang Jian and Ji Gong walked out from behind the door, one carrying a wooden stick, and hit the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the two wooden sticks that attacked, and for no reason he had a feeling of inescapability, and stood in place in a daze, beaten on the head and bleeding.
Feeling the pain, he remembered to fight back, clutching his bleeding head as he recited the incantation.
Jigong smiled and said: "The spell is right, the monk and I will too, I will bomb you!" ”
There was a loud bang, and a thunderbolt blasted towards the top of the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man was instantly struck by the cold, shivered, and lay down on the ground with numbness and convulsed his body.
Zhang Xiu's eyes glowed red, and he looked through his memories with the Dafa of Ecstasy, and his expression gradually became solemn: "I have found the minions of the Heavenly Demon, that person claims to be the King of Merit, and the demon in front of him is his subordinate." ”
