417. Chapter 417: Lieutenant Jane's Request

"Xiaguan Jian Kang has seen Master Sanzang!"

Although Tang Seng is only a monk, he is the sworn brother of Tang Taizong, with the name of a royal brother, even the elegant name Tang Sanzang was given by Tang Taizong, Jian Kang is just a small county lieutenant, this official authority naturally can't shake, as soon as they met, they made a big salute to Tang Seng, so panicked that Tang Seng didn't dare to say, and followed Jian Kang into the county hall with his arm.

"Captain Jian, this is the degree and customs clearance document issued by His Majesty, please check it!" After sitting down to watch the tea, Tang Seng took out his degree and customs clearance document from the baggage and handed it to Jian Kang.

"There's no need for this, right? Master Sanzang, you're too polite!" said that there was no need, Jian Kang still quickly glanced at the customs clearance document, the seal on it was indeed the seal of Emperor Taizong, and there was no doubt in his heart at the moment, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Master Sanzang, these two are ......" At first, Jian Kang didn't pay much attention to Sun Li and Sun Wukong, although the appearance of the two was a little peculiar compared to ordinary people, but this mourning town is located on the border, and Jian Kang, who looks weird, has also seen it, so he only regarded Sun Li and Sun Wukong as Tang Seng's entourage, but from entering the county government to the present, the two have not looked at him as a county lieutenant at all, and they sat on the seat with a big grin, this kind of behavior is obviously not something that ordinary entourages can have.

"Oh! these two are the two masters of my new state religion Xuanmen in the Tang Dynasty, the Monkey King and the Pingtian Sage Sun Li, this way to learn from the experience is full of crises, fortunately the two great sages protect each other all the way, and the poor monk can get here safely!"

Tang Seng's words made Jian Kang's eyes light up, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, he had naturally heard the names of the Xuanmen and Sun Li brothers, and Jun'an County, ten miles away from here, was building a Xuanguan and shaping golden stone statues for Sun Li and Sun Wukong, Jian Kang just didn't expect that Tang Seng's escort to learn scriptures from the West Heaven turned out to be such two big men at the level of national teachers!

"Xiaguan Jian Kang has seen the two great sages, I didn't know that the two great sages were here before, and I hope that the two Haihan are rude!" Jian Kang hurriedly got up and apologized to Sun Li and Sun Wukong, and at the same time beckoned his subordinates to serve tea.

"Lord Jane is polite!" Sun Li and Sun Wukong's personalities have always been that people respect me, I respect people, Jian Kang ignored them before, and they naturally ignored him, but now they have such a warm attitude, of course the two have to return with a smile.

Jian Kang was touted again, which made Sun Li and Sun Wukong a little embarrassed, and at the same time felt a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that Jian Kang, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, should have nothing to do with the two brothers, even if Xuanmen is now the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, it has nothing to do with him, a little county lieutenant, why is he so enthusiastic, the enthusiasm is a little excessive!

"Big brother, I'm afraid this Jian Kang is asking us, right?" Sun Li whispered to Sun Wukong.

"My old grandson also thinks so, this guy's attitude is not normal! Polite to others, there must be something to ask for, my old grandson probably should have something to do with the strange situation in this mourning town!" Sun Wukong nodded and replied.

Hey, the eldest brother will drag the text! Yes, yes, it seems that the eldest brother has made great progress in the past five hundred years! Sun Li secretly admired in his heart, and then frowned again, what Sun Wukong said coincided with what he thought, if it was really what they guessed, they could let one of the parents pull down their faces to please them, and I am afraid that the trouble in this mourning town is not small!

"County Lieutenant Jian, while it's still early, we're going to continue on the road, this customs clearance document ......" Tang Seng also felt that something was wrong, this has been in for a long time, Jian Kang has been talking about him left and right, desperately trying to get close to Sun Li and the brothers, but never mentioning the exchange of customs clearance documents, this is not normal, very abnormal!

"Well, don't worry! Don't worry! The three of them walked thousands of mountains and stepped on thousands of rivers for my people of the Tang Dynasty to go to the West Tianling Mountain to seek the true scriptures, and the lower officials admired it very much in their hearts! This mourning town is already the last town in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a foreign country before going out of here, and the three of them don't know when they will be able to return, so they might as well live in the town today, and let the lower officials prepare a little thin wine for the three of them to practice, and it is not too late to go on the road again tomorrow morning!" Jian Kang waved his hand and smiled.

"This ......" Tang Seng looked embarrassed, Sun Li and Sun Wukong both said that there was a problem with this mourning town, and it was recommended to leave on the road immediately, but this Jian Kangjian County Lieutenant clearly didn't want to exchange the customs clearance documents immediately, so he had to keep them for a night, Tang Seng was not a fool, if he couldn't even see that there was a problem, then his reincarnation in this tenth life would really be in vain!

"County Lieutenant Jian, don't go around in circles! You have gone to great lengths to keep us, is there something you need from us?" Sun Li looked at Jian Kang, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Jian Kang like a sharp sword, and asked in a deep voice.

"This ...... Xia Guan just wanted to practice for the two Great Sages and the Three Tibetan Masters......" Jian Kang laughed dryly with some embarrassment.

"County Lieutenant Jian, the Ming people don't say secret words! If you really want to ask our brothers, you can make it clear that if it is within our brother's ability, it is not impossible to help you! However, if you want to play any scheming again, don't blame our brothers for turning their faces!" Sun Li's face sank, and his tone became cold, Sun Wukong even narrowed his eyes and squinted at Jian Kang, if he said anything more, they would definitely turn their faces immediately, but it was just a piece of paper, as long as the two brothers were willing, there was a way to make Jian Kang comply!

The expression on Jian Kang's face was a little uncertain, and after being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, knelt on the ground with a plop, clasped his hands into fists and said, "The two great sages Mingjian, the lower officials really have something to ask for!"

"That's right, just say what you have to say, don't hide it!" Sun Li waved his hand, Jian Kang felt an irresistible force to help him up from the ground, and he couldn't kneel down anymore, his heart was shocked and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a wave of joy, Sun Li and Sun Wukong really lived up to their reputation, maybe they can really solve their own problems!

"Let me guess, what County Lieutenant Jian wants our brother to do for help should have something to do with this mourning town, right?" Sun Li asked with a smile as the corners of his mouth curled.

"That's right! Since the three of you entered the city all the way, you should have felt that something was wrong with this mourning town, right?" Sun Li asked, and Jian Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It's not just wrong, it's just very wrong! The entire mourning town is also a little popular in this county government, and all other places are gloomy, especially the pedestrians on the street, one by one like the walking dead, but there is no problem with their bodies, and their vitality is no different from ordinary people! I think County Lieutenant Jian should know the reason for this, right?" Sun Li's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and he smiled.

"If the lower officials knew, they wouldn't have bothered the two great sages!" The smile on Jian Kang's face became more and more bitter, "The previous county lieutenant died mysteriously in the study half a year ago, and at the same time, there were also the servants and servants of the entire county government, all of them died of a lot of blood loss, but there was not the slightest scar on the body, except for the county government, no one died or disappeared in the entire mourning town!"

"The lower official just wanted to find out about this matter, so he invited himself to take over! It's a pity that half a year has passed, and he still has no clue! The lower official can also see that there is something wrong with this mourning town, but although these people in the town seem to be relatively indifferent, they have always been law-abiding, and there is really nothing suspicious, and the lower official has asked many times and has no clue!"

It can be seen that Jian Kang is very distressed, his brows are furrowed into a Sichuan shape, Sun Li and Sun Wukong glanced at each other, and they both saw a solemn look in each other's eyes, Jian Kang couldn't find any clues after checking for half a year, and probably realized that the problem of this mourning town is not something that ordinary people can solve, so they will ask the two brothers to take action, right?

"How about it, big brother, can you help?" Sun Li raised his eyebrows at Sun Wukong.

"Help! If you don't help, this county lieutenant Jian won't give us a change for the customs clearance documents!" Sun Wukong laughed evilly, "My old Sun also wants to see what kind of evil is going on in this mourning town!"

Overnight, the entire county government from the county lieutenant to the servants all died cleanly, and they died of blood loss, Sun Li wondered if there were zombies or vampires, but I haven't heard of any vampires or zombies in the world of Journey to the West!

"County Lieutenant Jian, you haven't found out why you have been investigating for half a year, why are you so sure that our brothers can find the answer and help you in one night?" Sun Li suddenly thought of a question, according to Jian Kang's previous statement, he just wanted them to stay overnight, did he know that something would happen tonight?

"Don't hide it from the two great sages, in fact, there has been more than one county lieutenant in this mourning town, before the lower official took office, there were five county lieutenants who died here, all of them died half a year apart, and they all died in the county office, the death was exactly the same, and tonight it was just half a year since the death of the previous county lieutenant!"

"So you know that there will be danger in this mourning town tonight, and this danger is still coming at the county government? Now that you know that you dare to stay here, aren't you afraid of taking your own life?" Sun Li and Sun Wukong looked at Jian Kang very puzzled, knowing that staying in the county government tonight might be killed, this Jian Kang still dared to stay here, isn't it crazy?

"The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty! This mourning town is the town of my Tang Dynasty, since the lower official is the governor here, he has the responsibility to find out the cause of the tragedy, even if he is at the risk of his own life!" Jian Kang laughed, his eyes shining with a brilliance called faith.

Sun Li and Sun Wukong nodded, and their impression of Jian Kang was a little better: "Don't worry, our brother will protect you tonight, and I will definitely ensure that you will survive safely!"
