Kong Rui was also helpless, so he had to walk slowly first, intending to stop a passer-by and ask Chu Jing County in what direction. Just as Kong Rui was slowly walking towards the city gate, he suddenly saw six people walking out of the city gate, these people looked to be in their thirties, with vigorous steps, and the first two were even more imposing.

Kong Rui saw that although these people were walking, there was no dust under their feet, and it was obvious that all of them had a high level of mana cultivation. Kong Rui's heart moved, so he naturally didn't ask them for directions, but walked slowly by the side of the road.

Before he reached the gate of the city, Kong Rui saw a merchant walking out of the city with a burden, and at a glance he looked like an ordinary person, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, may I ask which direction Chujing County should go?

The merchant raised his hand and pointed forward: "In this direction, seventy or eighty miles will be there." ”

Kong Rui saw that it was the direction of the six people just now, so he asked the merchant, "Is the eldest brother also going in the direction of Chujing County?"

The merchant smiled and said, "It's in that direction, but I can't go that far." ”

Kong Rui said: "I just happened to go to Chujing County, and I was fortunate to be on the same road with my eldest brother. He knew that these merchants were walking around the streets, and maybe they could hear a lot of news, so he deliberately approached the merchant and walked with him.

Although the merchant walks around all day long, but now it is the height of summer, the south is even more unbearable, can not go far, the merchant is panting, sweating like pulp, the two saw a tea shed from afar, the merchant planned to stop and rest, but did not want to enter the tea shed to rest, drink tea.

Kong Rui knew that it was not easy for the merchant to make money, so he was reluctant to spend on it, so he said to him: "Big brother, let's go to the tea shed and sit down! The merchant thought that Kong Rui wanted to drink tea, so he pulled himself by the way, so he said unceremoniously: "Then thank you, brother." ”

The two entered the tea shed, two bowls of herbal tea went down, and the merchant's words increased, and asked Kong Rui: "What is my brother doing in Chujing County?"

Kong Rui made up a random reason and said, "The younger brother went there to visit a friend, but he had never been there before. ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, I am from Chujing County, and I know everything my brother says. The merchant said.

Kong Rui said the street where the address of the liaison person in Chujing County that Team Leader Fang told him was located.

"It's Dongguan, that place is full of dragons and snakes, I think my brother is a real person, and you have to be especially careful when you get there. The merchant reminded him.

"Big brother, there is a question I don't know whether to ask or not. Kong Rui wanted to find out what he knew.

Brother asked. "The merchant is bold and authentic.

"Big brother, you are from Chujing County, why don't you do business there, but come to this Jinggu County?" Kong Rui asked.

"Brother doesn't know, I also came out in the past two days, and there have been haunted things from time to time in Chujing County during this time, especially in Qingyun Town. I had to get up early and stay dark for this business, especially in the summer, when the evening was the best time to do business, but in the evening, when the haunting was the most powerful, I didn't dare to stay there and went to Jinggu County to do summer business. The merchant sighed.

Kong Rui practiced in Wuxuanzong, and he had seen a lot of zombies and ghosts, and he knew how to deal with them somewhat, of course he didn't care, but he suddenly thought that this haunted rumor was not related to his mission, so he asked with interest: "This is very fresh, can the eldest brother tell me more about it?"

The merchant was in a hurry, but Kong Rui paid for the tea and took the burden of the merchant himself, so that the merchant could tell him more information about it.

The merchant had no weight on his shoulders, so he opened the conversation box and told Kong Rui some of the rumors he had heard.

After hearing this, Kong Rui was somewhat disappointed, this merchant only saw a monster once a few days ago, but because he was scared at the time, he didn't even see what the monster looked like, and then he heard what others said, and under the false rumors, the monster was also strange, the only thing was that this monster had never hurt people and animals, etc., but it was huge, and it was a little scary, so it didn't attract special attention.

He hadn't gone far before the merchant arrived at the place, and Kong Rui handed over the burden to the merchant and said goodbye to him, and walked forward alone.

As he walked, Kong Rui thought to himself, he didn't know what this monster had to do with the evil Confucian Daoist spirit disciples coming here, who were the six cultivators he had just seen, and whether his mission here was related to these people and these things, and what kind of connection they had.

Along the way, Kong Rui felt that the mountain road was getting narrower and narrower, and there were more uphill than downhill along the way, and the back section of the road completely became a rugged path, and the mountain was steep, and it was easy to have accidents if he was not careful, of course, these were not a problem for Kong Rui, but Kong Rui saw very few people coming and going, and he didn't know how this Chujing County interacted with the outside world on weekdays.

In the afternoon, Kong Rui arrived in Chujing County. I saw that this Chujing County was surrounded by mountains, and the nearby mountains were all high, and the county seat was very small, and the population living there was also a small population, which was not as large as some of the larger towns near the big cities, and there were two inns in the whole county near Dongguan.

Kong Rui found a slightly better one, and after settling down, he still put on a mask, and immediately went to find the two local liaison officers that Team Leader Fang gave him. One of the two is named Xie Nan, and the other is called Lu Ping, and the two of them are both officials of the county government to the outside world, and they are also well-trained, as soon as they saw the identity token presented by Kong Rui and the certificate letter of Team Leader Fang, they immediately followed Kong Rui to the inn where he lived to listen to Kong Rui's questioning.

Kong Rui didn't go around the corner, and asked the two of them directly: "Is there anything suspicious that has happened in Chujing County recently?"

Xie Nan and Lu Ping glanced at each other and asked Kong Rui, "What kind of things do you want to know?"

Kong Rui said: "Anything, including any haunted and strange things. ”

Xie Nan said: "Don't hide it, nothing else really happens, and the recent rumors are haunted." I wonder why Shangcha is also interested in this?"

Kong Rui pretended to be very serious and said: "Although this matter is not related to military affairs, I am still worried about whether there is some demon who is making trouble and messing up the people's customs." ”

Xie Nan saw that Kong Rui said solemnly, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he told the strange things that happened here recently, and Lu Ping also added a few words from time to time next to him, and after all, these two people are trained junior intelligence officers, and there is not much to add to the situation, Kong Rui only then learned about what happened in Qingyun Town, Chujing County.
