Lin Yi hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "Grandpa is fine, the kid didn't mean to offend last night, and I hope that the adult Haihan will be there." ”

The potter was slightly stunned, remembering who he was, and suddenly became angry, and shouted angrily: "Why are you here again? Go and go, I'm upset, and I don't have time to take care of you." ”

"Don't be annoyed. Lin Yi smiled and showed his waist card, "In the spirit official of the Lower Heaven Book Mansion, he specializes in slaying demons and destroying demons, can you please tell me more about what happened?"

The potter was shocked when he heard this, the spirit official was in the second grade, and he was just a petty official who was bought with money, what was the difference between the two?

"Your Excellency—" The potter hurriedly bowed down. But the butler grabbed him and said, "Master, these two people are liars, how can any spiritual official be reduced to messing around? I see that eighty percent of the waist cards are fake, you must not believe it!"

The potter reacted, stared at the two suspiciously, shook his head and said, "But whenever the spiritual officials go out, they will protect the Dharma in groups, and they will hug each other, you two ...... Not like. ”

Lin Yi was just about to explain, but Luo Caiwei had already stepped forward, threw down the coiling dragon stick with a "bang", hugged her arms and said, "Even if you dare to look at people with dog eyes, come, you have the ability to pick up my stick." ”

"What's so difficult about this?" the butler walked up to Luo Caiwei, bowed his head and grabbed the long stick, and exerted all his strength, but the stick did not move at all.

He was shocked and discolored, hurriedly turned his head to look at the family, and shouted anxiously: "Why are you standing stupidly, come and help me!"

Several men hurriedly ran over, grabbed the long sticks and shouted in unison: "One, two!"

They were energetic at the same time, but they were like grasshoppers shaking trees, and the coiling dragon stick seemed to be nailed to the ground, and it didn't shake.

"Is this no way?" Luo Caiwei laughed, grabbed the end of the long stick alone, lifted it into the air, and grinned: "Brother Lin, look, does it look like a string of grasshoppers?"

Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hugh is messing around." ”

As soon as Luo Caiwei let go, all the servants landed one after another, and the housekeeper knelt down on the spot: "The woman is so powerful, the little slave has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so I ask the woman for forgiveness." ”

Luo Caiwei shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, when Brother Lin asks, you will answer anything, don't hide it at all!"

"Lao Liu, you take them back to the house first. The potter stood out of the crowd and bowed his hand to Lin Yi: "The lower official has met the lord, dare to ask how the two are called?"

Lin Yi said: "The surname is Shuangmulin, and the single name is a rabbit Yi, and this is my senior sister Luo Caiwei." ”

"Picking roses?" the potter's eyes rolled and he stroked his palms and praised: "Climb the west mountain, pick its rose, and be violent and violent, I don't know what is wrong...... The person who gave the name has a heart for the world, has compassion for the common people who suffered in the war, and is a person of great goodness. ”

Luo Caiwei's face was dazed: "Brother Lin, what did he mean?"

Lin Yi explained: "The princes are vying for power, the army is fighting each other, and they are fighting with violence, and they don't know what is wrong. The poor people's families are ruined, displaced, and miserable. ”

He restrained his smile and thought: If you want to praise a man, first praise his female companion, this grandfather is also a clever ghost.

"The big man thinks quickly, and the lower officials admire it. The potter bowed his head respectfully, and then said: "The jade tree is beautiful, the charm is elegant; His Majesty's name is even more elegant......"

"Alright, don't be a sycophant. Lin Yi waved his hand to interrupt, and asked fixedly, "Outside the potter, what happened last night?"

"There are many people, please come with me. The potter turned around and walked to a restaurant in front of him, and Lin Yi and Luo Caiwei quickly followed.

When the three of them arrived at the restaurant, the potter asked for a private room, and when the little two came to the refreshments, they said to Lin Yi: "Don't hide it from the spirit officer, a few days ago, the dog was injured by a monster in the villa." Last night, Daochang Li saw a doctor for my son, but he felt that the symptoms were strange and difficult to treat, so he rushed to the summer resort with people overnight. Unexpectedly, as soon as we arrived at the manor, we heard a terrible suona sound, and a black bear spirit jumped out of the courtyard and pounced on it to take the life of Li Daochang. ”

"Although it is a black bear, it has a human face, sharp teeth and fangs, and a terrifying appearance. The potter spoke with palpitations, and continued: "It is rumored that the deceased is buried in the underworld, and if he does not settle his grudges, he will become a zombie, and he can hunt snakes and rats at the beginning. After years of accumulation, the body grows white hair, and then goes out to harm people and suck blood, and finally turns from white to black, becoming copper-headed and iron-armed, invulnerable, and called stiff. ”

Lin Yiqi asked, "Where did the potter hear from outside?"

"It has also appeared in the local county chronicles. The potter took a sip of tea and said: "According to the ancient book "Youyang Miscellaneous", there is a kind of bewitching spirit song that can manipulate the dead, so the lower officials suspect that it is a zombie. ”

"Confused Soul Song......" Lin Yi murmured, remembering that Yu Jingrong had mentioned this music. Coincidentally, Yu Lao is also from Yan Kingdom, and his granddaughter was also mutilated by zombies.

The potter said: "Li Daochang unfortunately died, I immediately reported to the official, and now the villa has been blocked by the county soldiers." ”

"County soldiers?" Lin Yi turned his head hesitantly.

"I know this!" Luo Caiwei patted her chest and said: "The four kings of the Southern Alliance inherited the system of the Xia Dynasty, and the country was divided into three levels: prefecture, county, and county, and the county included villages and towns. The soldiers who protected Kyoto were called the Kyoshi, those who were stationed on the frontier were called the border army, and those who were inland were called the county soldiers, who were under the direct command of the county guards and were responsible for the defense of each county. ”

Lin Yi frowned and asked, "The defenders defend the city, and we wait to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, and perform our duties, why are we at odds?"

"The county soldiers in various places are changed every five years, and they take turns to be on errands. Unlike the dignity of the Beijing division and the danger of the border army, they are in a safe situation, and it is more difficult for them to make meritorious contributions. That's why he interfered with the position of the spiritual officer again and again, and took the initiative to fight against the demons in order to be promoted. ”

Lin Yi said unhappily: "The county soldiers are so ruthless, and the four kings just sit idly by?"

Luo Caiwei said: "The number of spiritual officials is scarce, and if they are scattered all over the world, there will be something to ignore. If there is a demon, wait for the city and county government to report to the Heavenly Book Mansion, and the spirit official will be ordered to go down the mountain, and it will be delayed for a long time. Lest the people have already been killed, we can only rely on the county soldiers to delay, and then we will support the takeover, and friction and conflict are indispensable in the process. ”

Lin Yi knew in his heart after hearing this: the four kings intended to do this, not only to protect the people, but also to suppress the spirit officials, so as not to let the Tianshu Mansion become dominant.

He came back to his senses and asked tentatively, "Outside the potter, is your summer resort still ready to open?"

"How can people live in a place where zombies are noisy?" The potter quickly shook his head and gritted his teeth fiercely: "I can't sell it, so I simply demolished it." ”

"Okay, boy, let's go. Lin Yi stood up, and the potter said, "I'll lead the way for the adults." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "No, just tell me the detailed address." ”

"This ......" the potter looked hesitant and looked at the two of them for a long time before he was willing to say: "Get out of the city gate, go west nine miles along the official road, and then enter from the south road, and you can see the villa." ”

"Please go back to the house and wait for the news, the kid will take a step to leave. Lin Yi pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, jumped out of the window, and Luo Caiwei immediately followed.

The two rushed out of the city gate, Lin Yi lifted his breath lightly, touched the ground on his toes, and ran like a fly, raising a trail of dust and smoke. Luo Caiwei couldn't speed up, seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther, she hurriedly shouted: "Brother Lin, wait for me!"

"Good. Lin Yi slowed down. After a while, the two of them arrived at the place, and went south through the small road between the villages, the canals in the ridges of the fields dried up, the winter trees were depressed, and the north wind was howling.

The two walked a few more miles, the terrain was getting higher and higher, the blue sky was clear, and the pavilion in the manor was visible.

Climbing the hill, the weeds around are withered and yellow, and there is a towering ancient pine standing in the center of the slope. Further on, you can see the arches made of bricks and stones, the courtyard walls on both sides are slightly lower and half, and the pavilions behind the eaves tiles are staggered, reflecting the barren mountains in the background.

The two of them walked closer, and there were several soldiers standing in the door, all wearing armor and carrying knives, and their eyes were fierce. The soldier shouted at them as he set up the guards: "What people!"

Lin Yi raised his waist card: "In the spirit officer of the Lower Heaven Book Mansion, I heard that there was a corpse trouble in the villa, so I came here." ”

A soldier stared at the waist plate, carefully examined the engraving, and said suspiciously: "We haven't received any news, do you have a way?"

Lin Yi took out the road guide again, the soldier took it and spread it out, hurriedly flipped through the two lines, and saw the official government at the end, his attitude eased, nodded and said, "Wait a minute, sir, I'll report to the commander." ”

He trotted away, Lin Yi looked around, there were about thirty defenders in the courtyard, and the horses they were riding were all tied to the corners. Several captains unloaded their spears and shields from their horses and distributed them to their teammates.

A six-foot-wide and long-sized object was parked in the middle, with two rows of wheels on the side and a tarpaulin cover, which had a unique shape. It seems that they put a lot of effort into pushing this guy up the mountain.

After a short while, the man who reported the news accompanied a young non-commissioned officer to stride, and Lin Yi turned his head to look. The officer was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body was extremely strong, with a square face and a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and he stood in front of him, like half an iron tower, standing majestically.

He raised his head and clenched his fists, and his voice was like a bell: "The last general is Fu Yong, the captain of the military garrison, who has just been transferred to Qicheng from the border army, and has been temporarily given the position of commander, and I have seen Lord Lingguan!"

Luo Zeweiqi said: "The captain is a fourth-grade official, how can he be the commander of the sixth-grade city defense?"

Fu Yong smacked his tongue, gasped and said, "The last general is in the border army...... made a mistake, demoted from a cavalry to an armed armament, and then sent to the interior to garrison, so that he could expand his troops in wartime and return to the frontier to meet the enemy. ”

Luo Caiwei asked again: "What did you do wrong?"

Fu Yong's face was unhappy, he suppressed the anger in his heart, frowned and said: "The Youjun army is advancing south, and the king of Zhengbei led his subordinates to counterattack, and encountered an ambush at Zebanpo, ordering the whole army to retreat. And the last general evacuated to protect the villagers, leaving an extra quarter of an hour. ”

Luo Caiwei said in a daze: "You obviously did a good deed, and you will also be punished?"

"The military order is like a mountain, and the king of Zhengbei remembered that I had meritorious service in protecting the people, and he had already made an exception to show grace, so he did not cut off his humble head. Fu Yong said slowly, his gaze swept over Lin Yi, "Dare to ask Lord Lingguan, are you here today, do you have a secret order with the peak master?"

Lin Yi pointed at Luo Caiwei and said, "My senior sister and I passed by Qicheng, and we heard that zombies were causing trouble, so we went to the villa to get rid of demons. ”

Fu Yong raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Then please go back." ”

Lin Yi said: "The zombies are vicious and ruthless, I'm afraid that you won't be able to resist, and I hope that Captain Fu will be accommodating." ”

"What are you talking about with him, we just have to go in, who dares to stop it?" Luo Caiwei pushed Fu Yong away with one palm, picked up the coiling dragon stick and rushed in.

Fu Yong staggered a few steps to stand firm, then drew his saber and shouted, "Your Excellency, do you know that trespassing on the military formation is a capital crime!"

Luo Caiwei laughed angrily: "Haha, my mother broke in today, do you have the ability to cut me?"

Fu Yong saw that the threat was useless, so he hurriedly chased after him with his sword, and shouted: "Brothers, go and catch the zombies, whoever catches it first, I will have a reward!"
