Chapter 43: Meet the Prefectural Order
Early the next morning, Boss Zhang saw Lu Yuan come back safely, and learned that he had killed all the demons in Mr. Liu's house, and immediately admired him.
He took out ten taels of gold as a reward, but Lu Yuan resolutely did not want it.
These yellow and white things are of very low value in the Cultivation Realm.
"Boss Zhang, as I said before, I won't take a penny from the demon this time. You better tell Mr. Liu to come back early. ”
Boss Zhang's face smiled like an old flower: "Okay, I'll send someone to inform you immediately." Since Immortal Master Lu refuses to accept money, he still has to eat the food! The contemptible people booked a table of wine at the best Baihua restaurant in town, and Mr. Liu would also come at that time. I hope you can enjoy your face. ”
"Then Lu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
During the Chinese banquet, Mr. Liu, who was elegant and thin, also came.
He and Boss Zhang frequently toasted Lu Yuan, and everyone drank to the fullest.
Early the next morning, Lu Yuan took the two to Mr. Liu's courtyard to check the situation.
As Lu Yuan said, there was no trace of demonic energy in the courtyard, and all those lingering cold qi disappeared.
After some admiration and chat, the three of them took the carriage back to Boss Zhang's house.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yuan ate something, lifted the carport curtain and looked out casually.
I could finally see the lanterns on the outer wall of the town in the distance.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief:
If you meet a little demon halfway, of course, it is not a problem.
But if he encounters a youkai in the early stage of the second order, he has no problem one-on-one, but it is a little difficult to protect these two mortals at the same time.
Suddenly, he saw several torches near the path in front of him, and faintly heard the voice of someone talking:
"Lao Tzu has been a poor person for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen a cow's belly open like this!"
"Lord Cao, could this be eaten by a tiger?"
"I recognize the tiger's tooth marks, not like it!"
Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he looked at the direction where the voice came from.
Looking through the dark night, he saw four officials dressed in black and two middle-aged farmers, talking around a cow corpse.
The cow's belly was cut open by a sharp object, and all the entrails were gone. The black and red blood of the ox stained the surrounding land and weeds red.
He sat back in the car and said to the two: "Two, Lu saw something strange outside. Please wait a moment, I'll come when I go. ”
The two of them chuckled in their hearts, and immediately realized that this was not an ordinary thing, but they didn't want to say anything, so they had to say in a loud voice: "Immortal Master, please take care of yourself, go early and return early, go early and return early!" ”
Lu Yuan nodded, jumped out of the carriage, and came to the group of torches with a few ups and downs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are polite!" Lu Yuan hugged his fists.
The six of them suddenly saw Lu Yuan appear from behind, and they were all startled.
A farmer pointed to Lu Yuan and stammered, "This big ...... In the middle of the night! You...... Are you a human or a ghost? ”
The gentleman laughed. I am a living person. Lu Yuan said with a smile.
A bad guy with a Chinese character face and a beard held a torch and shone at Lu Yuan: "A little ghost? Feed! Where's your mom and dad? Why are you running here at night? ”
Lu Yuan hugged his fists and said: "Official, I happened to be passing by, so let's take a look." "I want to go inside.
The others looked at him with some curiosity and stopped him together.
"This is not the place you should come to, hurry up and go!" ”
Lu Yuan snorted: "Official, there's a cow inside." I know how it died. ”
The beard looked surprised: "You know? When you look at this cow carcass, you will probably be so frightened that you pee your pants. If you mistreat again, beware of Lao Tzu beating you! ”
"Look at the dress, you should be a bad handsome Lord Cao. And you were right before, this cow was not killed by a tiger. Lu Yuan said lightly.
"You! How do you know? Master Cao Mengcao asked in surprise, "You overheard our conversation?" ”
"It's not called eavesdropping, I happened to be passing by just now, and my ears are more sharp, so I heard it."
Cao Meng felt that this person was a little different from ordinary little ghosts, so he asked in disbelief: "Then you say, how did this cow die?" ”
"There is still demonic energy left on the cow corpse, and judging from the characteristics of the wound, it should have been killed by a wild boar demon who cut open its belly with its fangs."
"Demon?" The two peasants were so frightened that their legs trembled and they almost fell to the ground.
After all, the four bad guys had seen some battles, and none of them showed any special surprise.
One of the fat officials said, "Boss, this kid seems to be right." ”
Cao Meng nodded slightly and asked, "Little ghost, what's your name?" ”
"In the lower land abyss. Demon Master Lu Yuan. ”
Hearing that Lu Yuan was a demon master, Cao Meng's face immediately softened.
"You're so young, are you really a demon master?"
Lu Yuan flipped his palm, and the Guquan Sword on his back immediately flew into his hand. Xuan Li passed slightly, and the blade of the sword was already a blue light, illuminating the surroundings.
With a slight wave, a large stone next to it was immediately cut into two pieces.
Seeing this, the two farmers immediately knelt down: "Immortal Master Lu! You should definitely help us! We farmers rely on ploughing cattle for food. ”
Lu Yuan helped them up: "If it's an ordinary case, I Lu really don't understand, but this has something to do with the demon, of course I want to take a look." ”
Several people took Lu Yuan to the cow corpse, and after Lu Yuan took a closer look, he was even more sure that this was the work of the wild boar demon.
Cao Meng arched his hand and said, "Immortal Master Lu, is it convenient for you to go to the county government with us?" In the future, we also need the divine power of the immortal master to help. ”
"Hmm...... I'm going to escort two friends to town. It's getting late, so let's meet at the gate of the county government early tomorrow morning. ”
Cao Meng said: "That's good." There is a shop selling cold rice noodles opposite the county government, called Jianhuayuan, and the taste is particularly authentic. Tomorrow morning, my old Cao will invite the immortal master to have breakfast there. I wonder if the immortal master can appreciate his face? ”
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to everyone and returned to the carriage.
He briefly told the two of them about the matter, and asked the location of the county office. The two of them said that if there is anything they need help in the future, just ask.
That night, Lu Yuan stayed at Boss Zhang's house and didn't say anything all night.
The next day, Cao Meng was waiting for Lu Yuan in Jianhua Garden early in the morning.
Lu Yuan put the Guquan Sword into the Qiankun bag and stepped forward to greet him.
Cao Meng happily invited him to sit down and ordered two bowls of signature rice noodles.
Although Lu Yuan is a monk, he is not like a Taoist who can open the valley, and he still needs to eat and drink.
Besides, if you don't taste the special food of various places, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?
The cold rice noodles really live up to their reputation, spicy and crispy, and the marinade is long. Lu Yuan quickly killed a bowl.
Cao Meng settled the account, and said while taking Lu Yuan into the county office: "Immortal Master, our county order went out on business two days ago, and it happened to be back last night. This should be in the side hall. ”
Lu Yuan nodded, then sniffed his nose and said in a low voice: "Lao Cao, there is a demonic spirit in the county government. ”
Cao Meng was taken aback: "Demon spirit? Where did it come from? ”
"It's from the side hall." Lu Yuan whispered to Cao Meng.
"Oops! Adults are in danger! ”
Cao Meng ran quickly towards the side hall, and Lu Yuan followed.
"My lord! My lord! I've saved you! ”
"Boom!"
Cao Meng's body was huge, and he immediately slammed open the door of the side hall.
Song County, who was inside, looked at Cao Meng who broke into the door with a blank expression.
"Lord Song! Are you alright? ”
"Something? Master Cao, what can I do? The thin Song County Ling looked at the broken gate and smiled.
