At that time, the night was deep, and the clouds revealed a round of moonlight.

At the mountain gate, a figure in a black bronzing robe walked out of the mountain gate, Lu Liangsheng looked up at the Qingyue who was covered, and stepped forward to the altar step by step.

On the tribute platform, incense and candles burn.

The wind blew through the high platform, the green smoke and clothes were flying, Lu Liangsheng looked to the north of the city, the sparse lights extended, crossed the city wall, stood in the suburbs of the night temple, the mud statue standing in the general's ancestral hall, the divine light flickered, and a phantom shadow walked out.

"Judge of the punishment of evil, come with this king. ”

In a moment, the phantom turned into a divine light and rushed out of the temple gate, crossed the night sky and fell to the high platform of Furong Pond, Ji Xin arched his hand towards Lu Liangsheng, and the chief officer of the Punishment Division who followed behind him also arched his hand, unlike Chenghuang, he was more serious, and bowed down.

"I've seen Lu Guoshi. ”

"No need to be polite, let's get started. ”

Lu Liangsheng nodded at the two of them, and also called the pig Gangguan who was wandering at the mountain gate, the latter gritted his teeth, turned into a wild boar and went to the high platform, staring at Ji Xin opposite with fierce eyes.

"How many lashes?"

"Ten!"

Ji Xin was dressed in an official robe at this time, and reported the numbers with a solemn expression, the city god who guarded the city had its own rules, and the monsters made trouble, if it was just an unintentional move, ten whips and a small punishment would be enough, not more, not less, otherwise Taishan Yin Si would report and verify it, and he would also be responsible.

Report, naturally you have to check the past of the monster, and the punishment division over there spread out the law book, asked the pig demon to become a sperm, and looked at the content that appeared on it, and his hands trembled.

Lu Liangsheng naturally noticed it and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

The judge closed the law book and looked at the city god on the side, and the sound of the law passed into the other party's ears: "Lord City God, the origin of this demon ...... Some are big, see for yourself. ”

Ji Xin took the law book suspiciously, looked at the vertical handwriting that appeared on it, and put the law book in his sleeve.

"If the law is not strict, it will not be cured, and if the order is not good, it will not be strict, what does the above matter have to do with my yin, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished!"

The huge pig body that crawled in front of the stage lowered his voice.

“...... Canopy Yuan ......"

"Don't scream. The pig just turned his huge head sideways, his eyes moved up, and he glanced at the moonlight hidden by the clouds, "My old pig is not the kind of person who dares to do it, otherwise, when the moon comes out, my old pig will not do it!"

Lu Liangsheng saw that Chenghuang and Zhu Gang were muttering, and wanted to hear it clearly, but unfortunately it was blocked by spells, and soon, Ji Xin nodded at the national teacher in front of him, he protected this city, and he had his own special spells, and a jade plaque in his hand was conjured, held it on his chest, and bowed to the city.

The incense mana connected the City God Temple and spread rapidly along the city wall......

......

In the dark outline of the city, the lights of thousands of homes are gradually extinguished, and occasionally a few barking dogs can be heard in the streets and alleys, and there are faintly lit window lattices, and the cry of a baby is heard.

Knock Knock –

The night breeze blew through the long street, rolled up the quiet flags, the misty streets, and the burning lanterns, carried in the hands of the gentry, and walked this way.

"In the dead of night, be careful of the candles, close the doors and windows to prevent thieves riding on the wall, and be optimistic about the mother-in-law~~~"

Knock knock!

The watchman knocked on the bangzi, walked slowly past the restaurant with bright lights, and in the open door, four scholars with hooked shoulders stumbled out with lanterns.

“...... That Lu Liangsheng is a fellow villager with us, so he doesn't take care of it!"

"Yes, tomorrow is free, let's go again!"

"But I'm afraid of that grandma......"

One of them pinched the flask, said a word, fell to the ground with a thud, and the three who walked in front looked back drunkenly at him.

"Hey, I'm not drunk with a thousand cups, .....ahh

As soon as the words fell, in the white fog rising from the street, the three of them shook twice and fell down one after another, Wang Feng took two steps with a lantern.

"Today's wine is so intoxicating....."

The lantern snapped to the ground, the crooked lantern, the range of the firelight, the swaying figure lay straight down, and the snoring sounded.

White fog spreads.

In the closed wine shop, the guy who closed the door pulled the door and sat down by the wall to sleep, and the shopkeeper who settled the account scolded and walked out of the counter, pointed with his finger, his eyes were suddenly confused, and he stumbled to a nearby square table, the chopsticks cage overturned, and the chopsticks spilled all over the ground.

The night was quiet, and the people, who had long since turned off their lights, muttered and gradually fell silent, and slept more deeply, and the window lattices with firelight not far away coaxed the noisy children to sleep, and together with the adults, they sat down on the ground and fell asleep together.

The mana that ordinary people can't see spreads, and the soldiers walking on the walls of the imperial city fall asleep one by one with their weapons in their arms, and in the huge palace, under the lamps and candles, the emperor who corrected the chapter held the pen and looked at the words on the chapter, became blurred, rubbed his eyes, yawned a long time, and fell asleep on the desk.

The endless black tide wrapped him like a dream, as if in a dream, and in the distance in the black, he vaguely saw a high platform, and a familiar voice sounded.

"Today, there are monsters in the city to make trouble, demolish a building in the east city, but read that it has no intention of offending, whip ten whips, and warn the demons of the Quartet, don't disturb my Dasui city and the people!"

In the dream, Yang Jian seemed to see Lu Liangsheng wearing the robe of the national teacher during the sacrifice to the heavens that day, standing on a high platform, majestic and solemn, and shouted: "Where is the judge of the Chang'an City God's punishment of evil!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the darkness.

Wrapped in the yin wind, a figure in a high hat and black clothes appeared in a shadowy manner, holding a long whip in his hand, "Gong Changning, the punishment division, has seen Lu Guoshi." ”

Yang Jian stood under the stage in a daze, looking at Lu Liangsheng above with a wave of fire pattern wide sleeves, and his voice fell coldly.

"Whip!"

"Yes!"

The black shadow held the evil punishment weapon, raised his cuffs, and immediately drew away the huge prostrate wild boar.

Woo Woo .....

Woo Woo Woo .....

The sound of crackling and pulling off the skin and flesh was endless, and it was not until the tenth that he stopped his hand, Yang Jian also heard the rumors collected by the people below during the day, and knew that there was a huge wild boar in the city, which was surrendered and taken away by the national teacher, and he was going to take a look after two days of free time.

Unexpectedly, it was in a dream..... No, it shouldn't be a dream.

Suddenly reacted, Yang Jian wanted to call Lu Liangsheng on the stage, but he couldn't make any sound in his mouth, he lifted the hem of his robe and was about to run to the high platform, and the next moment, the steps he took fell to the ground, and the whole person seemed to fall off the cliff, and the body was a little, and the words held in his mouth rushed out at this time.

"National Teacher!"

The emperor sat up from the bookcase, the lamp on the table flickered, the moth flapped its wings and hit the lampshade, the old man pinched the flesh on the back of his hand, and there was pain, and everything became real.

"Is it really a dream?"

Raising his eyes, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side sat on the ground one by one, leaning against the pillars of the palace or the wall and slowly waking up, and found that the emperor was looking at him, and his face turned pale with fright, and he ran to the middle and knelt down to plead guilty.

"Did you have a strange dream?"

Below, a group of palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly spoke, talking about the dream, and hearing the described scene, Yang Jian's frowning brows relaxed, laughed, and slapped the table.

"I didn't expect to see a drama of punishing demons in the dream of a national teacher!"

Immediately, let people prepare imperial chariots and civilian clothes, and early tomorrow morning, he will go to Wanshouguan to take a look, and the fleet of ships going south to Jiangnan by the way has been prepared in Bahe.

The night passed slowly, the emperor's carriage quietly went out of the palace city, drove to the long street, the white fog on the street has long dissipated, after a rain yesterday, the morning light in the eastern sky clouds flooded with fish belly white, the silent night in the city, gradually began to make noise, the people who got up early in the morning and were busy with work gathered at the door of the house, the street, the well to talk about strange things.

"Did you have any ...... last night?"

"Some of them don't sleep well on weekdays, but they somehow slept in a daze last night, and they seem to have seen a ...... in their dreams."

"The high platform?!"

"Yes, yes, it's not, I'm just now reacting, isn't that the one in front of the Wanshou Temple, it seems to be the national teacher. ”

“...... I seem to hear the national teacher saying, punish a monster, do you know what's going on?"

"Ouch, that's a wild boar that has grown into a sperm, yesterday I heard that the little dog of the second aunt's house next door ran back and said that there was a wild boar in Dongshi, which knocked down a green building, and the national teacher came forward to surrender it. ”

"Hey, didn't you let the whole city see the punishment of the evil demon with their own eyes last night? ”

"The national teacher didn't say that it wasn't an evil demon, it was just an unintentional move. ”

"A demon is a demon, how can there be no intention. ”

"But..... Who's the one who wields the whip? ”

"Didn't you hear? That's the judge in the City God Temple, I went to worship last time, it's exactly the same as the clay sculpture above, this time I can see it with my own eyes, and when I go to the temple in the future, I'm a little weak. ”

......

In the chattering gossip of the market, the hibiscus pool in the southeast of the city, the sunlight that broke through the clouds shone through the stone tablet of the 'Wanshou Temple', the gold sprinkled into the doors and windows, and the light and dust flew to sweep away the dampness and coldness of yesterday's heavy rain.

Lu Liangsheng sat in the hall, pounding the elixir, dipping a little palm, using mana to stick to the naked pig demon in front of him, rubbing it evenly on his back, and gently using mana to dissolve the effect of the medicine deep into the mottled red marks on the skin and flesh.

The old pig snorted in pain.
