In the past, Xiao Xia admired this Yunzhou man surnamed Huang a little, because he was a smart person. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

When I first saw him, Xiao Xia had just come to Luoshui City for a few days, and was kicked out of the Taoist temple where he was boarding, and he was looking for an inn for those porter coolies to eat and eat. The big man of Yunzhou sat at a table next to him, the tall man was very conspicuous, his hair was tied behind his head casually, his face was full of stubble, even if he was not wearing animal skins, his ears and necks were hung with animal teeth and bones, which made people know at a glance that he was a native of Yunzhou.

As soon as I sat down, I ran into someone from the Luoshui Gang who came to post a notice and a list, offering a reward for the clues of the skinning murderer who was a sensation today, and also hired all kinds of people who are good at dealing with demons and ghosts as the guest of the Luoshui Gang.

During this time, there were several inexplicable murders in Luoshui City, and several rich sons were arrested and skinned alive and tortured to death. Originally, it was not the turn of the Luoshui Gang to come forward, but at the beginning of this year, the Bai Shao Gang leader of the Luoshui Gang met a blind fortune teller, and on a whim he had to ask the blind man to calculate for him, but the blind man refused at first, and then he couldn't open his mouth, saying that the Bai Shao Gang leader was afraid of a bloody disaster in the second half of the year, and died a miserable death.

For this kind of nonsense, the young gang leader naturally laughed at it, and the blind man was also thrown into the Luojiang River to feed the fish. After half a year, almost no one can remember this incident, but this skinning murderer suddenly appeared in Luoshui City, and the deceased were actually a few friends of the young gang leader, and the guards and monks invited by several rich sons died inexplicably, and the young gang leader panicked, so this list was posted.

There is no shortage of strong kung fu people Luoshui Gang, Qingzhou's top two gang status is to be killed with a knife and a punch, the three major protectors in the gang are the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes of Qingzhou, and the incense masters under their command are also one in a thousand talents, ordinary monsters are naturally not afraid, but the few monks and guards who died this time are not general, and there is no trace of the murderer, Luoshui Gang only sent people to invite the masters of the Taoist Buddhism on the one hand, and invited strange people who are good at dealing with monsters and ghosts to be the guest in the gang, in order to be perfect。

"His grandmother's, it's a pity, what about the guest of the Luoshui Gang. The Yunzhou man muttered, licked his fat lips, and shook his head regretfully.

Xiao Xia, who was sitting next to him, happened to hear it, was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, because he was talking to himself in his heart just now. The Luoshui Gang controls the waterways and trade roads within a radius of 100 miles from Luoshui City, not to mention that the rich rival the country, there is no shortage of money, and the white old gang leader is really heavy in order to protect the young gang leader. Even if you don't talk about the bounty after catching the murderer, as long as you sneak in and eat as a guest, it is enough for many people. On the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to eat a good bite of idle food.

It's just that Xiao Xia also understands that he is a catty, and even the Crow Daoist is much stronger than him, so how can this idle meal not be his turn. But this Yunzhou big man sits crookedly, his eyes are cloudy, and his spirit is scattered, neither like he is strong in kung fu, nor like he has practiced magic powers, at most, he is full of brute force, he goes to the dock to resist things, and when the gang is angry, he is a good hand at gathering the number of people or something, as for the bowl of idle rice of the Luoshui Gang Keqing, Xiao Xia really didn't see what qualifications he had to sigh this pity.

For a while, the people in the inn were either talking about each other, or eating with their heads bored, and most of them were thinking about the reward. Suddenly, the Yunzhou big man sighed, stretched his neck and looked in one direction, as if he had found something.

Xiao Xia followed his gaze, and in the far corner, a young girl was sitting alone at a small table quietly eating with her head down. This girl is also wearing ornaments with animal teeth and bones, and she is also wearing a colorful feather coat unique to Yunzhou women, her appearance is not beautiful, but she is shy and fresh with the unique shyness and freshness of a girl in the mountains. Obviously, this girl is also from Yunzhou.

There are thousands of miles between Yunzhou and Qingzhou, and it is also this Luoshui City that is connected by water and sea, so you can occasionally see one or two Yunzhou natives who come here to do business. There are two of them in this small inn, and it can only be said that it is a coincidence. Yunzhou Dahan looked at the girl in a daze, was stunned, suddenly stood up and walked over to say hello in Yunzhou dialect, the girl saw her fellow villagers, and also invited Dahan to sit down. After a while, the Yunzhou man suddenly stood up and shouted to the people around him, "Brothers and friends. Huang had just come to Luoshui City for a few days, and he couldn't imagine that he would be able to meet a fellow villager from Yunzhou in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away, and he was so happy! I will invite you to the wine and dinner tonight, everyone please eat as you like!"

The voice of the Yunzhou man was very loud, and he smiled very boldly, and the Yunzhou girl next to him saw that the people in the inn were looking here, and lowered her head timidly, and looked at the big man on the side with some reproach in the corner of her eyes, but also some joy. It's a woman's nature to love to be noticed.,Even if you're a little scared because you're shy and thin-skinned.,But after all, it's still a girl.。

Most of the people in this inn are traders and coolies who are eating at the tip, and the food and wine can only be regarded as rough. But in any case, it must have been a pleasure to have someone to treat, and everyone sent congratulations and congratulations, and a few young traders even half-jokingly called out the good couple Tiancheng and the like, which made the girl's head bury deeper and her face redder.

Someone wanted to be arrogant, Xiao Xia naturally unceremoniously asked for another bottle of light wine and a lot of vegetables, sat in a corner and ate it fiercely, but he didn't expect that his luck would also come after eating this meal.

Luck comes from the Raven Daoist. In the previous murders, the famous Taoist monks around Luoshui City were hired by the rich sons who were victimized, and they also died at the hands of the mysterious murderer. Before the Luoshui Gang came to invite the Daomen masters, they could only rely on him to support the façade on the talisman spell.

The crow Taoist who received the invitation of the Luoshui Gang was also overjoyed, and he was angry and tried to be strong, and after driving Xiao Xia away, he meditated in the Taoist temple and adjusted his qi, determined to concentrate on drawing a few high-grade spirit talismans to eliminate demons and become famous. How do you know that this human eye master is low, and there is something wrong in forcibly drawing a high-level spirit rune, and a fiery dragon spell is about to be completed, and a breath of true qi can not be connected, and the true qi of the talisman is out of control and devours together, blowing himself and half of the Taoist temple into the sky together. When Xiao Xia had eaten enough and walked back to the Taoist temple to pack up his things, he only saw the crow Taoist lying half-dead on a pile of ruins and moaning.

Although he didn't lose his life, he also went to half of it, and the Luoshui Gang couldn't go there, but the Crow Daoist was reluctant to accept the deposit, so he had to discuss with Xiao Xia and let him replace him. So after demonstrating a few talismans, with a few Dharma protectors and worshipping the eyes that pinched his nose, Xiao Xia also changed, from a down-and-out Jianghu guest who didn't even have money to eat to a temporary guest of the No. 1 gang in Qingzhou, temporarily staying in the helm of the Luoshui Gang and protecting the young gang leader with other masters.

After assessing him, there was another person who was recommended, and it was actually the Yunzhou man in the inn.

This big man still looked very honest, and said loudly: "My surname is Huang, from Yunzhou." I heard that the white gang leader was looking for someone to help catch demons, so my friend introduced me to try it. Today, I will take a name called Huang Desheng, and I wish the Luoshui Gang a victory!"

The original names of the natives of Yunzhou are generally very awkward, and most of them who come out to run the rivers and lakes take their own Zhongzhou names, and this Yunzhou Han is even more fun, but the old protector Zeng who was sitting on the Taishi chair was not interested in this, only raised his eyelids, and said lightly: "I don't know what unique skills Friend Huang has to deal with demons and ghosts?"

Yunzhou Dahan touched his messy hair, laughed, and with his hands crossed, the two bone bracelets on his wrists touched together, and two half-virtual and half-real beast figures appeared beside Dahan, a white giant wolf and an ape the size of a man.

With a sigh, Elder Zeng's eyes widened, nodded, and said to Hu Qian next to him, "Please also ask Lord Hu Xiang to evaluate it." ”

According to their habit of fiddling with machinery and equipment, Shenjitang always likes to sort everything into categories, whether it is monsters and ghosts, drug materials, or even the skill level of people in the rivers and lakes, they are all labeled as one, two, three, four, and so on like goods. Although many people disdain this, there are indeed places that others are not as good as others in terms of knowledge and appreciation. Hu Qian took out a small piece of crystal from the armor on his waist, looked at the phantom of the two beasts carefully, and nodded and said: "It is probably the demon soul of the fourth grade, it should be the spirit beast spirit enshrined in the Yunzhou indigenous cottage, it is quite a rare thing." ”

Many of the natives in the mountains of Yunzhou will raise some spirit beasts in the mountains to guard the cottage, if the loyal spirit beast dies in battle, the obsession with the master and the cottage will not disappear, the witch doctor elders in the village will do the trick, and their spirits will be included in the utensils. There is not much difference between the spirit beast spirits and the demon spirits and ghosts driven by ordinary warlocks, but they are connected with the master's heart, and they are more flexible in operation, and there are some magical functions that the demon soul does not have.

"But it's just a demon soul of the fourth grade," Elder Protector Zeng frowned. This four products are not low, but it doesn't seem to be high enough, and the three-legged cat who pinched his nose and recognized the three-legged cat who can cast the Daomen charm is really no choice, and this one is like this, and the money doesn't matter, and it's not very good to say.

Fortunately, at this time, Hu Qian added: "According to the information in my hall, this thing is different from ordinary demons and ghosts in that it still retains its own spirituality, and if it can work together with its master, it will have other wonderful uses." ”

The old protector Zeng thought about it, and finally nodded: "Then there is a friend of Lao Huang, and the old man will send someone to arrange a place for you to live." As the old Bai gang leader said before, as long as we keep the safety of our young gang leader, and then work together to get rid of the skinning demon that has plagued my Luoshui City in the past few days, there will be a hundred taels of gold to give. ”

The Yunzhou man, who changed his name to Huang Desheng, smiled, arched his hand and thanked him, and couldn't help but have a smug look in his eyes.

Xiao Xia stood aside and didn't say anything, just snorted. He had also seen the bracelet that summoned the spirits of the two spirit beasts before, and it should have been worn on the hand of the Yunzhou girl.

"Brother Huang, your bracelet is so delicately polished, how can it look like it is for girls?"

has become a temporary guest of the Mixed Luoshui Gang for a leisurely meal, Xiao Xia casually found an opportunity and asked casually as if he had noticed it by chance.

Dahan was stunned, then clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Xia has good eyesight." This bracelet was originally used by my sister to defend herself, and she said that it was too dangerous for me to wander the rivers and lakes alone, so she gave it to me alive or dead. ”

Xiao Xia sighed: "It turns out that Brother Huang still has a sister in Yunzhou's hometown?"

"Where. It's the righteous sister who only got married a few days ago. It's a coincidence that we can also meet fellow villagers in Luoshui City, which is thousands of miles away from our Yunzhou. We talked about the deed, and we married brother and sister. Now that my sister has taken a sea boat back to Yunzhou, I heard that the old Bai gang leader is asking someone to deal with the skinning demon, so I want to stay and see if I can help. ”

It is said that smart people tell nine points of truth and one point of lie, and there are even smarter people who don't even need to tell a single point of lie, as long as they do things without relying on lies to cover up. Compared to his own luck, he got in, and his methods are really smart, and Xiao Xia has to admire it a little.

It's just that sometimes being smart is not necessarily a good thing, just like luck comes, and it's hard to tell whether it's good luck or bad luck in the end. Just the day after Xiao Xia and Yunzhou Dahan arrived, Bai Shao's gang leader disappeared.

It's not that the people around him are not well protected and guarded, but the young gang leader himself secretly ran out after repelling a few masters of personal protection, and under strict questioning, the young gang leader's personal chief said that the young gang leader was in response to the appointment of a confidant, and went out to enjoy the flowers under the moon in the middle of the night. The problem is that the young helper can have everything, that is, it is absolutely impossible to have a confidante. The young helper is very interested in Hongyan, yes, but that interest is to sleep with Hongyan, and the young helper is very good at appreciating faces, breasts, and buttocks, but he has never appreciated any flowers in his life.

Fortunately, the Luoshui Gang recruited a lot of money from all parties who were good at tracking, and immediately chased the traces of the young gang leader. The three protectors of the gang led a good hand to chase all day, and finally at noon the next day, they found the young gang leader who had been stripped of his entire skin in the woods under Lanlin Temple, and of course he also saw the young gang leader's skin with his feet, and the girl in white sitting high on the branch.
