Chapter 40 The Old Way of Emptiness
In Meishan, after the demon fox ate more than a dozen people, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his paws with satisfaction. Then, it turned and ran in one direction, running tens of meters away with only one vertical step.
A figure appeared in front of the demon fox, and the orange light in his palm flashed, and he knocked it out with one palm.
"Ahem......"
The demon fox coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at the figure fiercely.
"Who allowed you to eat people without permission?"
"There were only a dozen or so people around me, and I ate it. ”
The demon fox stretched out his paws and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said nonchalantly.
"Fool!" the figure shouted angrily, "If you want to eat it, you will eat it all, and leave a few for what?
The demon fox heard the anger in the man's tone, and immediately put away the frivolous look on his face, and cautiously lay on the ground.
"In the future, without my order, you must not make decisions without authorization!"
The figure spat out with a grim face.
"Yes!"
The demon fox replied respectfully.
Then, I saw a flash of inspiration on its body, and it turned directly into a beautiful woman in a thin shirt with a sultry body. That figure really makes people can't help but feel their blood gushing when they see it.
"Hmph...... Put away your set!"
But that man seemed to have a hidden illness, so envious of the beautiful scenery of others, he could turn a blind eye! Not only that, but he was also willing to scold such a lovely person, and there was a faint trace of mana in his shouting.
The thin-shirted beauty was rushed by his mana, and suddenly felt a shock to her body. That glamorous appearance could no longer be maintained, and it directly turned into a piece of wood and fell to the ground.
The man stepped forward, picked up the piece of wood, and carried it into his arms.
Originally...... This thin-shirted beauty turned out to be a piece of spiritual wood into essence and turned into a charm.
Charm is a kind of thing, which looks pleasing and is good at changing the way of confusion. Previously, he had transformed into Hu Da, killed Erniu and them, and ate his body to strengthen his cultivation.
......
In the back hall of the Tongbei County Ya, Ning County Ling was holding his forehead with both hands, looking sad.
There was a harmful demon fox on this Meishan Mountain, and it killed more than a dozen people at once. The villagers have already come to the county government to complain, and if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the county order will be done.
Just when Ning Xianling was secretly sad, Ning Gongzi, who had helped An Quan out of the siege before, walked in, and when he saw his father's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is something wrong?"
"Hey......" Ning Xian Ling sighed and said: "There is a demon fox on Meishan, and more than a dozen villagers who went up the mountain to collect medicine were killed......
"Demon fox?"
Ning Gongzi looked surprised.
"Yes! Now, when people come to the county government to file a complaint, I can't refuse to accept it! But...... Where is this demon fox easy to deal with?"
Ning Xian Ling looked helpless.
Ning Gongzi thought for a moment and said, "Since the demon fox is out, then I have to ask the court for help......
"It was supposed to be like this! But there has never been such a thing in our Tongbei County, and the disciples of the Daomen and the Buddhist Sect have never been here. Now asking for help, I'm afraid I don't know how long I will have to wait......"
Ning County was full of sorrow.
Why did such a thing happen when he was in office?
"Or ...... While asking for help from the imperial court, he posted a list to find strange people among the people?" Ning Gongzi thought about it and made a suggestion.
Ning Xianling thought for a while and said, "It seems that it can only be like this......! Where is this folk stranger so easy to find!"
"If you want to talk about strange people, I met one a few days ago!"
"Oh?" Ning Xian Ling came to his senses, and immediately asked, "Where is that strange person now?"
Ning Gongzi shook his head and said, "I saw it three or five days ago, but I haven't met it again since then, and I may no longer be in the county." At that time, the master brought a spirit fox to perform juggling on the street, and Qi Lao Liu, a prank, wanted to embarrass them. Or am I relieved of the siege ......"
Ning County Ling heard that the person was no longer in the county, and he lost interest.
However, he did notice the spirit fox mentioned in his son's words, so he asked, "What does that spirit fox look like?"
"It's a brown fox, only about this tall......" Ning Gongzi stretched out his hand and gestured at his waist.
"Brown fox?"
Ning Xianling's eyes lit up, and he said, "The demon fox that harms people on the mountain is also brown fur......"
"No, it's a spirit fox, how can it be a harmful demon fox?"
Ning Gongzi shook his head and expressed disbelief. That spirit fox looks likeable, how can it be a harmful monster?
Ning County Ling saw that his son was sure of what he said, and he didn't think much about it, just regarded it as a coincidence.
"By the way, Dad, the third child of Ji Meng's family is now cultivating in the Dao Gate, wouldn't it be faster if Ji Meng informed him?" Ning Gongzi suddenly thought of Ji Meng, so he proposed.
"That's right!" Ning Xian Ling slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot Ji Qing's kid! When he entered the Dao Gate, our family helped a lot! Quick, you go and find Ji Meng......
Ning Xian Ling urged eagerly.
It didn't take long for Ji Meng to rush over, and Ning Xianling immediately explained to him, and then sent an official letter to the court asking for help overnight.
As for the posted list, it was also written.
......
The next day, in the village at the foot of Meishan, there was still a sad atmosphere. Da Chun took the time to take a look at Erniu's mother, and the old woman still looked very sad.
Da Chun persuaded her to drink half a bowl of porridge.
At noon on this day, an old Taoist priest with a fairy wind and a bone appeared outside the county office, and the old Taoist priest took off the list and walked straight towards the county office.
"Your Excellency...... Someone's unveiled!"
A government official ran into the back hall of the county government and reported to the Ning County Order.
"So fast?" Ning Xian Ling looked a little puzzled, he only posted it this morning, and someone will unveil the list at this time?
"Who is it?"
"An old Taoist priest!"
"Come in, please!"
Anyway, since someone unveiled the list, it must be invited to come in and take a look.
After a short time, the official led the old Taoist priest over.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the old Taoist priest, Ning Xian Ling felt a lot more steady. Look at this dusty temperament, where can ordinary people have?
Judging people by their appearance has always been a common problem for most people.
"Meet Ning Xianzun!"
The old Taoist priest calmly bowed to the Ning County Order.
"Daoist don't have to be polite, please take a seat!"
Seeing that the old Taoist priest behaved quite politely, without the slightest sense of alienation that people in the cultivation had to reject people thousands of miles away, Ning County Ling couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
After Ning County ordered the official to serve tea to the old Taoist priest, he asked, "I don't know...... What is the name of the Taoist Master? Where are you practicing in the Immortal Mountain?"
This is to take stock of the old Taoist's origins, in case a liar comes in, do you want to have the face of the respect of a county?
The old Taoist picked up the teacup, first smacked it, and then said slowly: "The poor road is empty, it is a wandering party to cultivate, and I happened to pass by here and saw the literary list outside the county office, so I took it off!"
Casual practice?
That's no heels!
It's just that seeing the old Taoist priest's calm appearance, Ning Xian Ling couldn't tell the truth of what he said.
"Daddy, this is ......"
At this time, Ning Gongzi walked in with Ji Meng, and when he saw the old Taoist priest sitting next to Ning Xianling, he couldn't help but ask.
