Volume 1 Juvenile Spirits Chapter 34 The Banker's Tricks
Wanzhou, in an unknown tavern hundreds of miles away from Xianjiang City.
The drinkers were sporadic and chatted about the anecdotes that happened on the rivers and lakes.
"Eh, have you heard? The Holy Maiden of the Luo Palace has been crying lately, saying that Su Lang Shaoxia wants to steal her corset. ”
In the corner, a handsome man with a bun shook his hand holding the cup and spilled a few drops of wine.
On the opposite side, a girl in a pale green Luo skirt glanced at him timidly.
"Stealing the corset, Su Shaoxia is really a model for my generation!" said another drinker, touching his beard and laughing.
Su Lang slandered in his heart: "I'm different from you!Senior sister, don't look at me with that kind of eyes......"
A day ago, he chose this mission close to Xianjiang City in the Consular Hall of the Zongmen. The task is simple: to select introductory disciples on behalf of the sect in Wu County. The purpose is to meet the fat man after the matter is over.
Su Lang will not return to the sect in the short term, so he needs helpers to escort his disciples and deliver tasks. It happened that the girl named Xun Youling in front of her came to pick a task alone, so she was invited.
The drinker over there continued to laugh: "The corset of the cult saint...... I'll give out a hundred elixirs!"
"Come on, let's not talk about whether you can take it or not. Su Shaoxia is famous on the list, and how many mortal-level Gathering Spirit Pills can you see?"
Someone scoffed.
"Having said that, the Qingfeng Sect is really full of talents. It's just that in my heart, Wang Tianhe and Su Shaoxia are definitely not comparable to the Mu Tianhan Fairy with ice muscles and jade bones. ”
"That's nature. Fairy Mu is not only as beautiful as Guanghan, but her cultivation is also amazing. She has tested all sides of the sword and has risen to 251 on the list. ”
Senior Sister Mu doesn't stop for a moment. Su Lang smiled and poured himself wine.
"Su Lang Shaoxia didn't make many concessions. Four or five months ago, he was not well-known, but now he is on the list of four hundred and thirty-three. Although there are not many traces recently, they have also killed the human traffickers in the early realm of the bitter sea, and Yu Changyu's friends have taken the fire crow lightly. What's more, he also made a move against the Holy Maiden of Luo Gong and tore off the latter's corset......" The drinker said, laughing again.
From "stealing" to "tearing", it is even more excessive......
The drinkers at the table laughed, as if you know me.
Xun Youling secretly raised her eyes to look at Su Lang again, her long eyelashes trembling.
Su Lang rolled her eyes and drank the summer winter to herself.
"I don't know when I'll be able to see the heroic demeanor!" suddenly someone sighed.
Senior Sister Xun's face suddenly became a little more proud, her expression was flying, as if to say: "Look, look, the master of the list is here." ”
Feeling Su Lang's speechless gaze, her cheeks suddenly became hot, and she hurriedly poured wine for herself and took a sip, trying to cover it up.
The cold liquor enters the stomach, and the spiciness rushes straight to the nostrils.
Xun Youling choked with tears, covered her mouth and coughed repeatedly.
The corners of Su Lang's mouth curled a little more. It's a funny little reaction.
The drinker on the other side heard the noise and turned to take a look.
At a glance, he was attracted by the delicate girl in the green dress.
Pulling his companion, he unconsciously said, "Look, fairy......"
Several pairs of drunken eyes looked at each other at the same time, and then froze.
"A group of drunks..."Su Lang raised his forehead.
He cleared his throat and glanced at them faintly.
His eyes were like torches, stabbing several people at the same time, and he hurriedly stared down at the wine in his glass.
"Let's go, let's do the mission. ”
Su Lang raised his head and drank the last glass of wine, and picked up the morning dew that was lying horizontally on one side.
"Oh. Xun Youling responded.
She looked at the remaining half glass of wine, her heart was ruthless, and she learned Su Lang to drink it in one gulp.
"Ahem......" Xun Youling coughed while following Su Lang outside.
"I can't drink it. ”
"No, I think it's delicious......"
Since he is acting on behalf of the sect in Wuxian, he should always say hello to the county gate public family, so as not to have a misunderstanding.
The two then arrived at the gate of the county government and reported their identities to the janitor.
After a while, I saw a man in a cyan official uniform arranging the black gauze hat on his head and greeting him.
"Contemptible people are the county magistrates of this county. I have seen the two masters of the Qingfeng Sect. ”
The posture was so low?Su Lang was slightly surprised. The county order is also regarded as an official position in the imperial court. Even if he has never practiced, he has the support of the Seven Xuanmen.
If you report your name, you can get this treatment based on the prestige of the list.
But I haven't said a word yet!
Su Lang didn't know that the county order was dripping with cold sweat.
I had heard that the Qingfeng Sect would send people to Wuxian County to recruit disciples, but I didn't expect the people to be so young.
Although the green-clothed girl next to her is delicate and lovely, she is still young after all, and she is not shocking. After all, the Oiran in the city has such a look, and it is even more attractive.
But this man-haired man has a fairy aura all over his body, which makes him drift out of the dust, like a fairy coming to the world.
As soon as the county order met, he naturally made a ritual of bowing to each other, and it was smooth and not jerky.
Even he didn't know why this was the case.
"In Xia Sulang, this is my junior sister Xun Youling. ”
Su Lang replied.
"It turned out to be Su Shaoxia, who has admired his name for a long time. ”
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jianghu Sanxiu is not comparable to the genius of the sect in terms of strength and temperament, if every disciple of the great sect is as weird as the son in front of him, then sooner or later he will have angina.
Fortunately, this son is Su Lang......
"Senior brother, are you scared of others?"
Xun Youling covered it with his hand and whispered to Su Lang.
Su Lang silently restrained the naturally generated momentum.
After the spiritual sea turned into the bitter sea, its sea of consciousness also expanded outward, entering the realm of the early stage of the bitter sea.
The skyrocketing of cultivation and spiritual power made him a little uncomfortable for a while. Therefore, if it weren't for Xun Youling's prompt, he hadn't noticed the aura he exuded.
After talking for a while, Su Lang and the others learned that the day after tomorrow, the county would gather children to select disciples for the Qingfeng Sect.
After the county order was arranged, his face was slightly hesitant.
"My lord, it's okay for the time being. ”
Su Lang could already see that he seemed to be pleading.
"I'm ashamed to say that. In the closed village under this county, a strange thing has happened recently. ”
"There is a tradition in this county that people who have died at the end of their lives will stay in their homes with coffins, and they will be buried after the first seven days. ”
Xun Youling suddenly raised his hand and said, "Stay for seven days?
Su Lang glared at her.
The latter closed his mouth and looked a little aggrieved.
The prefectural magistrate didn't mind and continued:
"A big family in this village is surnamed Zhuang, and recently there was a white matter, and the old lady left peacefully. The descendants are also considered filial piety, and they made a coffin with sandalwood and buried the old man in it. ”
"The bad is the good wine of the night watchman of the dealer. The first two days were peaceful. On the third day, the night watchman could not bear the addiction to alcohol, and he was very drunk before returning to the mourning hall. ”
Speaking of this, the county commander's expression became a little frightened.
As soon as I entered the mourning hall, I saw a black cat lying on the coffin licking its fur. The cyan cat's eyes seem to be evil. The night watchman was still drunk, and he picked up the broom by the door and beat it. ”
The black cat jumped up and returned the night watch's paw. The broom only hit the coffin with a muffled sound. The screams then spread throughout the dealer. ”
When the crowd arrived at the mourning hall, they saw the night watchman sitting on the ground, his face distorted and trembling like chaff, and filth flowing all over the ground. ”
When I asked him, I heard only staccato answers. said that the old lady had come back from the dead, and that the ghost was coming to catch him. ”
Xun Youling's little face was pale, and she quietly hid behind Su Lang.
Su Lang intended to tease her, which could also relieve the tense atmosphere.
"If you are afraid, you can cover your ears. ”
"I'm not afraid!"
Xun Youling jumped out again, pouting.
"Then why are you hiding?"
"It's just...... It's just that the wind is too strong, and the senior brother can block the wind. ”
Xun Youling argued.
Su Lang laughed.
"Senior brother is really not serious!"
Su Lang was slightly stunned. Before meeting Xu Tinglu, he categorically couldn't make such a joke, and naturally he couldn't get a "serious" evaluation.
In this way, Tinglu changed him a lot.
Some missed her.
Su Lang sighed silently, turned his head to the county order, and said, "Your Excellency, please continue." ”
The prefectural order wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost doubted that he was telling some kind of popular joke.
He straightened the black gauze hat on his head and continued:
"The proprietor just thought that the night watchman was drunk and wanted to deduct his wages. The night watchman trembled and raised his scratched arm. ”
"Where are the scratches of what cats. Five black blood stains are clearly scratched by human fingernails!"
Xun Youling's body trembled again, and quietly retracted behind Su Lang's back.
"Looking at the black and white portrait of the old lady in front of the hall, it is so weird that it seems to be mocking......"
The county order lamented again and again.
Since then, the Zhuangjia Mourning Hall has never been calm. Sometimes there was a scratching sound from the coffin, and sometimes it was the tribute on the table that fell to the ground for no reason...... The Zhuang family prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha, kowtowed and apologized, and all methods were used, but it didn't work. ”
Su Lang frowned and said, "How many days have passed?"
"Today is the fifth day. ”
"Old lady Zhuang should have a breath of vitality from a black cat, and the yang energy hangs in his throat, and he can't swallow it if he can't come up. If the first seven have not been properly handled, I am afraid that the corpse will be raised. Do you know?"
After seeing a lot of strange things, Su Lang also made up some common sense, so he was able to draw a simple conclusion.
The county commander smiled bitterly: "Naturally know." ”
"Then why don't you ask the Seven Xuanmen to help?"
Xun Youling asked.
Su Lang nodded, this was exactly what he was puzzled about.
"I submitted my report two days ago. It's just that it goes through several provinces and ministries, and there are many processes. Waiting for the order to be issued, someone from the Seven Xuanmen came, but I don't know when......"
The prefectural order was full of bitterness.
"Qixuanmen has always been known for its high efficiency in dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes. I didn't expect it to be so redundant and sloppy in civil matters. Su Lang touched his chin: "I'll take this matter." ”
The county order's tense nerves relaxed, and he said, "Thank you Su Shaoxia." ”
"Those who cultivate the Tao take it as their duty to support the righteous path. ”
Su Lang picked up the county order and smiled at Xun Youling:
"If the junior sister is afraid, there is no need to go with her. ”
"I'm not afraid!"
The latter puffed out his little face.
