Chapter 7: A Beautiful View in the Sword

In front of the Land Temple on South Street, a pile of flammable wood was erected.

It was more than half a person tall and drenched in a lot of kerosene.

Mu Qingyao was tied to a pile of wood.

The people around were excited.

The five-year-old woman found a torch and cursed loudly.

Mu Qingyao looked at the gloomy sky and smiled bitterly.

She had imagined the tragic scene of being bitten to death by a monster, she had imagined that she had been pierced through the heart by an enemy with a sword, and she had even imagined falling into a trap and being trapped alive.

She had thought of many ways to die.

I didn't think that I would die at the hands of a group of people.

Fate seemed to have played a big joke with Mu Qingyao.

She is not afraid of danger and tries hard to protect the people of the world, but she has become the murderer who killed her.

Turning her head, Mu Qingyao saw that in the dilapidated land temple, the broken mud head of the land lord was facing her, as if she was laughing.

Just as the was about to set fire to the lumber pile, a man with one hand missing was squeezed out of the crowd.

"What are you doing! Killing people in the street, there is no royal law! ”

The man is a butcher who sells meat in the bazaar.

"What a royal law! Can the king get the evil spirits? ”

"Hundreds of children have fallen into evil, this is the reason for this woman, burn her, and the children will be saved!"

"The law does not blame the public, and besides, we are burning evil spirits!"

"That's right! Burn her! ”

The crowd erupted in angry roars, and some people urged the woman to light the fire quickly.

The man who lacked hands was in a hurry and yelled:

"Can't burn! She is the woman brought back by Brother Yun! It's definitely not a demon! ”

The man recognized Mu Qingyao, so he tried his best to stop it.

Brother Yun'er's words quieted down the surroundings, and even the became hesitant.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted:

"There were no outsiders in town yesterday! She's just a foreigner! She only had so many evil things when she entered the town, she must be evil! Brother Yun also has a time when he looks away! ”

If the first person speaks, there is a second.

Soon, more and more people were shouting again, yelling and burning her.

The man who lacked hands was pushed aside by a few strong men, how could he stop hundreds of people by himself.

The handless man was pushed to the ground and yelled at the crowd around him: "You have fallen into evil! You've just fallen for evil! ”

The woman approached the pile of lumbers and picked up the torch viciously.

The torch raised was as if it was fixed behind her, and no matter how hard the fierce woman tried, she couldn't smash it.

The looked back.

With one hand, he grasped the torch steadily.

Behind the fierce woman was a grim young man dressed in black, carrying a knife on his back and his eyes cold.

"Isn't it that Zangshi Town has been too peaceful in the past few years, and you have nothing to do."

Yun Que's cold words startled the woman to let go immediately and retreat a few steps.

The crowd around them fell silent.

People's footsteps are unconsciously retreating, giving way to a large circle of open space in front of the Land Temple.

Yun Que carried a torch, looked around and said:

"I want to see the evil spirit, okay, I'll bring some back tomorrow, so that you can see enough."

There was a boom, and the sound of rolling thunder was heard in the sky.

The people trembled, and they retreated a few feet back, as if the young man in black was even more terrifying than the evil one.

Many people in the distance rushed to hear the news.

One of the skinny men squeezed into the crowd, jumped up and slapped the in the face, causing the to spin around three times.

"Loser! Who the told you to come here to sprinkle! Can the woman brought back by Brother Yun be evil! You're kicked in the head by a donkey, aren't you! ”

The said aggrievedly: "What kind of ability is it to beat a daughter-in-law!" Our son can't live now, isn't it an evil thing! ”

The thin man scolded with a blue face: "My son will die today!" I also believe in Brother Yun! Without Brother Yun, all these people in our mine would have died last year! Whoever of you does not believe, stand up now! ”

The people around them bowed their heads one after another, showing shame.

The existence of Yun Que is like a legend in Zangshi Town.

Although the people are ignorant, the people are not stupid, Zangshi Town has been able to be so stable for many years without demons, relying not on the governance of the county order, but on the demon hunter of Qinghu Mountain.

A team of officials hurriedly came, led by Wu Dachuan.

After asking the reason, Wu Dachuan was also very angry, and threatened to arrest all the troublemakers back to the county office.

Yun Que untied Mu Qingyao's rope and left Nanjie with the other party.

When I returned to Buyi Lane, it rained heavily.

"Why are you here?" Mu Qingyao said softly.

"I'll send you to Hundred Jade City." Yun Que shook the Yueyu hanging around his neck and said, "This thing must be worth two hundred taels of pairs." ”

Mu Qingyao laughed lightly, and said, "It's worth it." ”

"The things on the mountain are not life-saving, with you or not, I will kill the wolf demon, and this piece of jade will be used as an escort fee."

Yun Que put Yueyu into his collar and said, "But I said in advance, I will only go to Baiyu City, I won't leave one more step, and when the time comes, you can find a way to go back to the Imperial City by yourself, and we will clear the two of you." ”

Mu Qingyao quietly looked at the black-clothed young man opposite, and said softly, "Thank you." ”

"Don't thank you, it's just a sale, you and I want it, I can still afford the work of two hundred taels of silver." Cloud lacks a way.

"Do you still have old clothes, I want to bathe."

Mu Qingyao's white dress was stained with oil, and her hands and feet were stained with a lot of kerosene, which was very embarrassing.

"There's a set in the cupboard, so you can only take a shower in the house."

Yun Que pointed to a wooden barrel in the corner.

He has only one room in this house, and he has to cook in the yard.

Rummaging through a set of gray robes, Yun Que helped boil hot water and fill the barrel.

"I'll go out and wait."

Yun Que held the knife and opened the door.

The rain outside was heavy and pouring.

Mu Qingyao hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, you just turn your back and don't look back." ”

Hearing this, Yun Que closed the door again, sitting on a stool with his back to the barrel.

"Don't worry, my words count, and I will definitely not look back."

"I believe in you."

After Mu Qingyao saw that Yun Que was sitting with his back to him, he pursed his lips and began to bathe in his clothes.

It was pouring rain outside, but it was unusually quiet inside.

There was only a slight sound of water waves.

The little county lord has never had the experience of bathing in front of outsiders, and there is always a blush on his pretty face.

Halfway through the wash, Mu Qingyao gritted her teeth lightly and suddenly turned her head to look.

Yun Que was sitting on the chair as usual, with his back to the barrel, and he was concentrating on fiddling with the long knife.

"You're a gentleman."

Mu Qingyao whispered in a very soft voice.

On the wooden chair, Yun Que just sighed.

Gentleman?

Only a fool can be a gentleman.

Yun Que readjusted the angle of the blade and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the knife.

Take a few glances and swallow your saliva.

When Mu Qingyao changed into a clean gown, the heavy rain outside also stopped.

The clothes are a little loose, after all, they are men's clothes.

Mu Qingyao tied her waist with the belt on her skirt, and her long hair like a waterfall was simply tied into a ponytail, and the whole person was clean and refreshing, less delicate and more heroic.

"When you go, you set the time for your employer, but I suggest the sooner the better." Yun Que put away the long knife and turned around.

"I want to see those evil kids." Mu Qing Yao said.

"They want to burn you, and you still go to visit people, and the Bodhisattva is not as merciful as you." Cloud lacks a way.

"The people are ignorant, the most easily deceived by others, I can see that there are people behind the instigation of the scene just now, I don't blame them, I'm just worried about the safety of those children, and I won't have hundreds of children who have no reason to fall into evil together, I have learned some medical Taoism with my master, maybe I can help, if I go like this, I feel uneasy." Mu Qing Yao said.

"I know most of the people in the town, there are a few fresh faces in the crowd, and it is dangerous to leave a minute late." Cloud lacks a way.

"You'll help me before I get to Hundred Jade City, won't you?" Mu Qingyao smiled playfully.

"Throughout the ages, there have always been many things to be the owner, anyway, the work of two hundred taels of silver, you can toss it casually before you arrive in Baiyu City." Cloud lacks a way.

Out of the door, the two came to the house of the person who had an accident recently.

A family of three, on weekdays, they rely on picking some wild fruits in the mountains to sell, and in winter, they go up the mountain to chop firewood and come back to sell, and their lives are very hard.

The family is a daughter, four years old, her eyes are rolling, sometimes foaming at the foam, her breath is weak, and it seems that she will not live long.

When Yun Que came in, the husband and wife were staring at their daughter at a loss.

"What did Lang Zhong say?" Cloud lacks a way.

Seeing that it was a cloud shortage, the couple was like seeing a life-saving straw.

"Lang Zhong has seen it, and he only said that he was infected with evil like other children, and he was not cured."

"Brother Yun, save my child! Please! ”

Yun Que glanced at the dying girl and said, "She is not evil, and your family is not evil, I can't save it." ”

When the couple heard this, they collapsed to the ground together, hugged their heads and cried.

"I'll try."

Mu Qingyao said and walked to the side of the girl, carefully checked the pulse, and the distant mountain-like eyebrows slowly frowned.

The couple hurriedly wiped away their tears and waited quietly.

After a long time, Mu Qingyao withdrew her hand and said to the couple:

"Draw a basin of water, pour it on the child, and let her vomit at least three times until she vomits."

The couple hurriedly complied and called for clean water.

They are now in a hurry to go to the doctor, anyway, there is no other way, and Lang Zhong in the big city can't afford to hire it, so he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The girl was poured a large basin of water and vomited three times.

Then the girl's face improved, her breath was sufficient, and she woke up after a while.

The couple was overjoyed and thanked each other.

Mu Qingyao asked the two of them to spread the way to rescue the other evil children.

Then he left the house.

"I looked away, and it was really evil." Cloud lacks a way.

"You read that right, the girl is not evil, but poisoned, I can't see what poison is, I can only use this method to alleviate it, fortunately it works." Mu Qingyao said worriedly.

"Even a few years old dolls can be used, it's not an evil thing, there are many evil people in the world who are dressed in human skin, born like people, but they are more cruel than demons." Yun Que sneered.

Mu Qingyao was speechless for a while, and a kind of self-blame appeared in her heart.

The quiet town, since her arrival as the county lord, has become someone else's chessboard.

The innocent people in the town have also become other people's pawns.

"Let's go now." Mu Qingyao cheered up and said firmly.

Only when she leaves can the town of Zangshi regain true peace.

At the intersection, Wu Dachuan and two fast figures hurriedly came.

"Brother Yun! But I found you, and the county commander asked you to hurry over for an autopsy! ”
