Chapter 6: Spooky
Jiang Changkong returned to Nanping Town, showed the identity card to Zhang Hu and the others, and announced the order of the Demon Division.
When Zhang Hu and the others learned that Jiang Changkong had not only become a trainee black guard, but also the director of Nanping Town, they were shocked and envious.
Jiang Changkong, who was the weakest chicken among several people more than ten days ago, turned his face and became a big man in Nanping Town.
And all this has to do with the fact that he called Jiang Beili a "second uncle".
The three of them beat their chests in their hearts, and they all regretted it crazily, why didn't they call the second uncle when Jiang Bei died!
If they had called at the time, maybe today's director would have been one of them!
If time can be repeated, don't call it second uncle, even if it's called father and ancestor, it's no problem!
It's a pity that Jiang Farewell turned to ashes on the day he left.
I don't have a chance to scream.
But since the matter has become a fait accompli, and Jiang Changkong's strength is indeed the strongest, the three of them are not single, so they directly admit it with their fists.
"Meet Master Jiang!"
The three of them looked sincere and hugged their fists.
Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Changkong's face.
These three guys...... It's not bad, I know how to advance and retreat.
If you have the chance, you can give them a little benefit.
Becoming the official supervisor, Jiang Changkong not only has to consider the security of Nanping Town, but also is responsible for the expenses of the patrol house.
He is also responsible for the salaries of Zhang Hu and the three of them.
In addition to this, there were other errand wages, although not much, that is, one tael per person per month, but it was always an expense.
All this money is out of his pocket, and the Demon Town Division will not give this money.
But the security tax in Nanping Town is actually not much.
In the huge town of Nanping, large and small businesses are basically monopolized by the Guan family.
It is basically impossible to receive the tax of the Guan family.
The power of the Guan family is too strong.
Guan Yulong, the son of the Guan family, is the deputy commander of the Qinghe County Defense Army, and it is said that he is also the head of Song Yi, the third son of the Qinghe County Order.
What's more, Guan Yulong's father-in-law used to be an outer disciple of the Jade Immortal Sect.
In the name of a cultivator family, even the imperial court can't do anything to him.
There is such a relationship, and the Guan family can be said to be a dominant family in Nanping Town, without scruples.
Therefore, even when Jiang Bieli was still alive, don't think about receiving any security tax in the Guan family.
This is also the main reason why Jiang Bieli is often unable to pay his salary.
Now, it is Jiang Changkong's turn to become the supervisor, and this kind of thing will be his turn.
Jiang Changkong naturally knew that this kind of thing was difficult to solve.
Either pay out of pocket, or find a way to transfer out of here.
But that's not an option at all, and it's the same everywhere in a world like this.
Therefore, Jiang Changkong believes that the only solution is to strengthen himself.
Everything is built on strength.
With strength, everything is solved!
When the strength is so great that it overrides everything, no matter what kind of charm he is, he will be slashed with one sword!
Let the three of them continue to patrol, and he will continue to practice with his sword in the courtyard.
It is not without benefit to become the director of the patrol house in Nanping Town, in addition to not needing to patrol, there are also people to serve.
For example, cooking, laundry, cleaning, and having their own errand to do.
And he only needs to concentrate on cultivation.
In the courtyard, Jiang Changkong kept swinging his sword.
I practiced until the evening, and then I stopped.
In the courtyard, Jiang Changkong stood with his sword in his hand, glanced at the sunset that was gradually setting in the distance, and his eyes flashed slightly.
"I have to go home and tell the original parents the news that my cultivation has finally broken through to the second grade of martial arts, which can be regarded as a wish of the original body."
This is the only obsession of the original body.
Resolving this obsession is not only to give an explanation to the original body, but also to make one's thoughts clear.
Then he left the patrol room and walked towards Dongcheng District.
On the way, he ate something and then bought some incense candles, offerings, and paper money.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I happened to meet the Yu Niang next door coming back, and greeted him with a smile: "Changkong is back." β
Yu Niang is the daughter-in-law of Jiang Yiqiang next door, 26 years old this year, smart and capable.
Goose egg face, fair skin, born with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, beautiful appearance.
Because he has never given birth to a child, he has a well-proportioned figure and is plump and attractive.
The whole person looks like a ripe peach, and the water can be squeezed out when touched.
Proper royal sister!
Such a seductive stunner often attracts the attention of men.
This also led to the 'Yiqiang Noodle Restaurant' opened by her family doing particularly good business.
"Why did it close so early today?"
Jiang Changkong asked in surprise.
Although he doesn't come back often, he is still very familiar with the jade girl next door.
This is the time when the noodle restaurant is at its busiest.
But now, the proprietress of Yu Niang has returned.
"Sister-in-law Xianglin didn't come today, I'm really too busy to be alone, so I can only close."
Yu Niang said with a smile.
"Brother Yiqiang can't go out yet?"
Jiang Changkong asked.
At the mention of her husband, Yu Niang suddenly looked helpless, sighed slightly and said:
"Well, since the last time his eyes were flashed by lightning, he can't see the light now, and locks himself in the house all day, I'm really afraid that he will be like his mother in the future."
Jiang Changkong nodded slightly.
Jiang Yiqiang's mother has been blind for many years, if Jiang Yiqiang is also blind, then this family can basically only be supported by Yu Niang alone.
In the twilight, he turned his face to look at the big locust tree that had been split by thunder not far from the door.
Half a month ago, this nearly 100-year-old locust tree was directly scorched by a thunderbolt.
If it hadn't been for a heavy rain that extinguished the thunder fire, the entire tree would have burned out.
It is said that Jiang Yiqiang's eye was burned by thunder that day, and he has been staying at home since then.
Jiang Changkong smiled at Yu Niang and said, "It's okay to close early, you are busy all day without a day off, and you should let yourself take a break." β
"Or the sky will be considerate."
Yu Niang's peach blossom eyes were crooked, and she said with a smile.
Jiang Changkong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This woman!
dared to tease him at his own doorstep.
Aren't you afraid that her husband will kill her?
Then he turned and opened the door and walked in.
Yu Niang looked at the sturdy back of this nineteen-year-old boy, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, her long eyelashes fanned, and the corners of her mouth rose.
Jiang Changkong closed the courtyard door casually.
turned around, but his brows furrowed slightly.
I didn't come back for more than ten days, my house was burglarized, and there was a mess everywhere.
However, there is nothing of value in the house, almost all the walls of the house are deserted, the rats have to starve to death, and it is estimated that the thief will hide his face and cry after coming.
Entering the house, Jiang Changkong smiled a little wryly.
The only quilt left had been stolen, and the bed was left with only a frame, and the bed board was gone.
"This thief is really not empty-handed."
Jiang Changkong shook his head.
Back in the living room, wipe the dust off the table, straighten it and place the portraits of the original parents on it.
Then the offering was placed on top and the incense candles were lit.
While burning paper money in the brazier, he told his original parents the news that he had become a martial arts second-class.
When the paper money is burned, it is as if a ritual has been completed.
The obsession in his mind had disappeared unconsciously, and Jiang Changkong suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
It actually made him feel sleepy.
Just when he was a little confused.
Suddenly, a gentle voice came: "Son, you have been practicing all night, you are tired, my mother stewed an old hen for you, come and eat it while it is hot." β
Mother?
Jiang Changkong Huo Ran opened his eyes.
If it was the predecessor, maybe it wouldn't have woken up so suddenly.
Because the title of 'mother' represents attachment, home, and warmth.
But for a traverser, the title 'Niang' only exists in history.
Jiang Changkong turned around.
I saw a beautiful woman in an apron, standing at the table with a pot of chickens, looking at him kindly.
It is Li Xueyao, the mother in the memory of the predecessor.
If it is the predecessor, even if you know that your mother is dead, you can't tell whether the person in front of you is real or fake.
It's too real.
Whether it is the demeanor or the breath, it is exactly the same.
But Jiang Changkong is different.
The moment he opened his eyes, he subconsciously turned on the sword heart Tongming.
Li Xueyao in front of her immediately became different
Although he was still smiling, his smile was eerie.
This is...... Uncanny!
No wonder I was suddenly sleepy, it was this thing!
Jiang Changkong's eyes were sharp, without any nonsense, he stepped out in one step, and raised his hand to slash at 'Li Xueyao' with a sword.
'Li Xueyao's eyes widened, and her face was full of incredulity.
She hurriedly shouted, "Son! No!! β
But Jiang Changkong was not moved at all, his eyes were calm, as if he hadn't heard it, and the sword in his hand was fast and urgent, and it fell suddenly.
Hmmm-
'Li Xueyao' took a lightning step back.
Jiang Changkong's sword actually slashed into the air.
"Son! I'm a mother!! β
'Li Xueyao' shouted in a hurried tone.
"Insult mother, damn it!"
Jiang Changkong snorted coldly, then took a step forward and slashed out with a sword against 'Li Xueyao'.
Although it is the mother of the predecessor, Jiang Changkong feels that no matter whose mother it is, the mother must not be insulted.
This weird turned into the image of the former mother, that is damned!
'Li Xueyao's body flashed again, and she easily avoided Jiang Changkong's sword.
Her eyes suddenly glowed green, and she looked at Jiang Changkong and said with a smile: "Boom...... I'm not confused, it's interesting~"
As she spoke, her mouth cracked, all the way to the base of her ear, revealing a mouth full of fine fangs.
Then his entire body exploded suddenly, and a huge scarlet eye appeared in the air, the size of a man's fist, staring at him calmly.
The exploding blood mist retracted violently, converging on the giant scarlet eye.
The giant eye suddenly grew larger, and at the same time, the blood was in full bloom.
In an instant, it was like a huge blood moon, exuding boundless coercion.
Jiang Changkong only glanced at it, and felt as if he was standing in the world of corpse mountains and sea of blood, with an endless abyss in front of him.
In the abyss, a bloody light shot straight at the door of his face.
His eyes were like swords, and the green steel sword swung violently, and a sword intent attached to it, surging out.
The giant red eye was split in half in an instant.
Faintly, Jiang Changkong heard a terrible scream.
Subsequently, Jiang Changkong felt his eyes light up.
Everything became clear, and everything was as it had been.
β¦β¦
The underground chamber of a mansion.
In the dim light, a man wrapped in a black robe suddenly screamed, and his thin hands covered his eyes violently.
Then he fell straight down, and fell to the ground with a thud, his whole body convulsed, and his mouth foamed.
After a few breaths, his head tilted, and then he didn't move.
β¦β¦
Jiang Changkong didn't know all this.
He was now immersed in the Sword Codex space.
Just when he slashed the weird just now, a white point of light the size of a mung bean suddenly appeared in the sword codex space.
For this sudden white point of light, Jiang Changkong was very surprised.
What is this?
At this moment, he "saw" the illusory figure standing with his hands hanging down on the sword codex, facing the small white point of light.
My heart moved: Could 'he' move?
All along, this illusory figure has been an uncontrollable existence.
Except for telling him the correct way to swing the sword and not moving if he didn't cultivate correctly, he didn't find any other abilities.
But now, this phantom is actually facing this white point of light that suddenly appears.
This means that this sword training phantom does not seem to be immovable.
He subconsciously wanted to manipulate the phantom to grasp the white point of light.
As soon as the thought appeared, the phantom moved, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed it, the white point of light fell into 'his' hand, and then merged into 'his' illusory body.
A stream of information appeared......
Jiang Changkong's eyes widened.
"It turns out that this white point of light is actually the energy that can be supplied to the illusory figure to make a sword!"
Immediately, the illusory figure began to swing his sword.
The cultivation is the basic swordsmanship.
Chop, stab, sweep, horizontally, wipe, tease, chop, cut, block, return......
When he was cultivating, Jiang Changkong felt the same way, as if he was cultivating, and his physical body was moving in rhythm with the phantom cultivation.
The cultivation of the phantom in one sword and one style is very standard, and gradually these simplest sword moves begin to connect, like a cloud of flowing water in the same class, swaying freely, and in the end there is only a piece of sword light......
In the blink of an eye, the basic swordsmanship is a small success!
Jiang Changkong was shocked.
After a sword technique practice, the phantom once again stood motionless on the sword codex.
And Jiang Changkong's physical body has undergone obvious changes.
The biggest change is that this Xiaocheng's basic sword technique exists in his body like an imprint, forming muscle memory.
In other words, it was as if he was cultivating himself.
And all this is only a moment in the outside world.
"The Sword Book can still be used like this! This white dot of light is such a good thing! β
Jiang Changkong was pleasantly surprised.
Then he thought: "This white point of light is obtained after killing the weird, so does it mean that as long as you kill the weird, you can get this white point of light?" β
At this moment, I suddenly heard a familiar shout of panic from next door.
"Jiang Changkong - help!!"
Jiang Chang's hollow mind instantly left the sword codex space, and his eyes froze.
Sister Yuniang!
From the voice, it can be heard that Yu Niang is suffering from great panic.
At this moment, Yu Niang shouted again: "Jiang Changkong, help!" One strong mutatedβ"
Jiang Yiqiang has mutated?
Jiang Changkong's expression changed slightly.
However, Jiang Yiqiang is just an ordinary person, even if he mutates, his strength is not much stronger.
It's just different for Yu Niang.
After all, Yu Niang is just an ordinary person.
Jiang Changkong quickly came to the courtyard, jumped suddenly, grabbed the head of the wall and supported it with one hand, and climbed over the courtyard wall between the two houses, which was less than three meters.
Boom!
As soon as she landed, she saw the royal sister Yu Niang with a thin skirt and two big white legs exposed in the bright moonlight, and ran over with a panicked and turbulent look.
Due to the panic, one of the embroidered shoes on his feet ran away.
As soon as she arrived in front of him, the plump royal sister threw herself into his arms and hugged him with both arms.
At this time, Jiang Yiqiang and his blind mother walked out of the house.
The blind lady's eyes are no longer blind at this moment.
In the night, both of them had bloodshot eyes.
Yu Niang turned her face, suddenly frightened, trembling all over, hugged Jiang Changkong and stomped her feet and said in a panic: "Come out!" It's out! Jiang Changkong, what should I do? What should I do? β
Jiang Changkong's expression was calm.
When Jiang Yiqiang and his blind mother first appeared, he turned on the sword heart for the first time.
Under the clear sword heart, Jiang Yiqiang and his blind lady were covered in black gas, with green faces and fangs, and hideous faces.
Apparently, both have turned out to be weird.
Jiang Changkong suddenly thought that after the thunder and lightning half a month ago, Jiang Yiqiang didn't dare to go out.
Maybe Jiang Yiqiang was already weird at that time.
It's just that poor Jade Niang doesn't know.
If she knew that she had been living with Weird for the past five days, I don't know what she would have been scared of.
However, since Jiang Yiqiang and his blind mother have become weird, they can't stay.
At this moment, Jiang Yiqiang's eyes were glowing with blood, and his thin black hands with green muscles were waving kitchen knives, and he shouted angrily in a hoarse voice:
"Jade Lady! You are a woman who holds my empty brother at night, what kind of system has you become! Hurry up and get me back! β
When he spoke, he didn't pay attention to the blood foam rolling in his mouth and the chicken feathers at the corners of his mouth shaking.
As he spoke, he strode towards the two of them brandishing a kitchen knife.
White hairs quickly grew on the thin body.
The whole person seemed to be inflated, and became extremely thick.
The royal sister trembled with fright.
Jiang Yiqiang roared: "You stinky bitch, you know that Lao Tzu can't be humane, don't let Lao Tzu touch it, it turns out that Hong Xing went out of the wall to attack the little man!" A pair of dogs and a man, damn it! β
The empty eyes suddenly glowed with blood, like a bloody sun.
I don't know if it's because he was too emotional, Jiang Yiqiang's mouth opened too wide and exceeded the limit.
The mouth grinned at the base of the ear, revealing a mouth full of fine black fangs.
The tongue is gray, and there are a few maggots wriggling on it, and the smell is tangy.
The black tendons on the thick cyan arms hovered like twisted vipers.
Jiang Changkong looked disgusted.
He found that it was not good for what he saw under Kenshin's clarity to be too real.
Raising the hand is a sword slash, and the sword intent is attached to it.
Hmmm-
The sword flashed.
A white-haired human head flies.
Jiang Yiqiang's stout body suddenly looked like a deflated ball.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, black blood flowing from its neck, emitting a strong stench.
It seems to have been dead for a long time.
At the moment of Jiang Yiqiang's death, a white point of light appeared in the Sword Codex space
Jiang Changkong looked at Jiang Yiqiang's blind lady at the door of the hall.
At this time, the blind lady's white hair was longer and thicker than Jiang Yiqiang's.
He has become a white-haired monster.
Seeing the death of 'son Jiang Yiqiang', the white-haired monster's 'blind lady' was suddenly frightened, and she turned around and was about to flee.
Where would Jiang Changkong let her escape, and his body rushed over as fast as lightning.
The 'blind lady' saw that she couldn't run away from Jiang Changkong, so she turned around and pounced.
He cried out, "Give back my son!! β
If it weren't for the clear sword heart, Jiang Changkong would definitely see the miserable appearance of a blind mother-in-law.
But under the clarity of the sword's heart, the white-haired monster 'Blind Niang' had red eyes, black palms, and half-foot-long nails, and grabbed at Jiang Changkong.
Jiang Changkong's face was calm, and he slashed out with a sword.
Burst~
The blind woman's head flew up, and the headless corpse fell, black blood splattered, emitting a stench stronger than Jiang Yiqiang's corpse.
Jiang Changkong estimated that this blind lady had been dead for a longer time.
A dot of white light appeared in the Sword Codex space.
One glance at the two shriveled black corpses.
Jiang Changkong said to Yu Niang, who was still trembling, "Okay, it's okay." β
"Wait until tomorrow for someone to drag the body away."
Then he turned around and walked over the wall.
The trembling Jade Niang grabbed him: "Can I sleep with you tonight?" β
