Chapter 18: Adjacent to the town

"Apprentice, our master and apprentice are really unlucky, just came out for a trip, and encountered such a sinister thing, fortunately we met Brother Lu, otherwise our master and apprentice would have already died in Huangquan!" Yang Chaozi clasped his fists and thanked him

"Brother Yang, this is a bad statement, the three of us are just helping each other, but this place is only dozens of miles away from the adjacent town that Brother Yang said, how can there be ghosts and ghosts at such a close distance? Could it be that the adjacent town has been invaded by demons and monsters?" Lu Yao doubted

Yang Chaozi and Biaobao immediately frowned when they heard this, and Yang Chaozi looked even more frightened, and said: "Then Brother Lu, we have to speed up the pace, there are nearly 10,000 households in the adjacent town." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lu Yao nodded in response, the three of them were busy speeding up, from here after more than an hour, the three of them finally saw the boundary card adjacent to the town, the boundary card is about two zhang high, and three big characters are written on it 'adjacent to the town', a few miles away after this boundary card is a huge town, the town is brightly lit, like daylight, the houses overlap and build according to the mountain, so angry, there is a row of mountains that stretch for several kilometers on the left and right sides of the town, this town is sitting in the canyon of the mountain, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an important town of soldiers.

The three of them saw that there was no evil spirit in the sky above this town, and the demonic spirit stopped and relaxed, and walked forward slowly, the three of them talked and laughed on the road, and came to the gate of the adjacent town, although it was three o'clock in the morning, but the city gate had already been opened and not closed, and some shops in the town had already woken up and opened the door, from which it can be seen that the prosperity of this town and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The three of them were in a hurry to eat there, no, as soon as they entered the city, the three of them walked straight to an inn that had just opened the door and was cleaning up the tables and chairs in the house, the three of them walked forward, Lu Yao watched this situation and hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and said: "Brother Yang, I just came down the mountain, and I don't have half the money on me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay for entering this inn!"

Yang Chaozi just smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Yao's arm and walked towards the stack, and said: "Brother Lu doesn't need to say much, the three of us can be regarded as experiencing a life and death calamity, and it can be regarded as a friend of life and death, I still invite this meal to a meal, and it is also a matter that should be shared, please!"

Lu Yao wanted to shirk it, but he was really penniless and didn't know what he should do, so he was a little overwhelmed.

The three of them sat at a table, and Yang Chaozi only said: "Little Er, build a pot of tea, serve a few side dishes, and a few bowls of rice." ”

"Okay, three please!"

"By the way, Brother Lu, do you have something important to do when you go down the mountain this time?" Yang Chaozi asked

"It's nothing important, this time it's just that the master asked him to go down the mountain, but he didn't tell me what to do, and now I'm at a loss like a lost lamb, I don't know if Brother Yang and your master and apprentice have anything important?"

"To tell the truth, our master and apprentice have been down the mountain for more than two years, the first year passed by here and met a demon, killed it, the government accepted my master and apprentice as guests in the hall, so far we and the other two are stationed in this town and stay here. Yang Chaozi said at this time, a pot of good Biluochun came from the second end of the small two next to him, put down the three cups and stretched out his right hand, and said: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”

After closing his words, Yang Chaozi continued: "I see that Brother Lu is a person who slays demons and destroys demons, and he should be of great use, if you are willing to listen to me, I will speak up." ”

"Please also ask Brother Yang for advice. ”

"Brother Lu, your skills are several levels higher than those of my master and apprentice, so the technique of slaying demons and destroying demons should have a right path, so I think that Brother Lu can enter this hall with my master and apprentice as guests, first, Brother Lu can also relieve the entanglement on his body, the difficulty of money, second, there is something to do, and third, he can exert his own skill of eliminating demons and defending the way, I don't know what Brother Lu wants?"

Lu Yao thought about it for two or three or nodded in response: "Well, what Brother Yang said is reasonable, I don't know anything about the world when I go down the mountain this time, and I still stay here for the time being. ”

"Then after eating, I will lead Brother Lu to the town hall to meet the mayor of a town!" Yang Chaozi picked up the teacup on the table and raised it: "Then tea has replaced wine in the next place, and the first thing is respect." ”

"Please!" Lu Yao said, raising his glass

The three of them chatted while eating, and after a while, the three of them finished eating, Yang Chaozi paid, and the three of them stepped out, and then looked at the street, eight of the ten households have opened their doors to set up stalls, and then look at today's sky, a round of golden sun and gradually rise, the night disperses, the day is coming, the street has got up early to sell vegetables, and the officers and soldiers in the town have also begun to patrol, it is really a harmonious, peaceful and peaceful city.

The hall of the official mansion sits in the center of the town, surrounded by an official office, a military camp, a guest living hall, a prison place, four close and leaning, a square, divided into four gates, east and west, north and south, three people from the hall guest living lobby, just here I saw three people in the hall stepping out, all three of them were dressed as scholars, three people saw Yang Chaozi and clasped their fists with both hands and saluted: "Brother Yang, come back." ”

"Well, I don't know where the three of you are going?" Yang Chaozi replied

"At dusk yesterday, an order was issued from above, saying that Prince Tianyu saved the people and burned the palace, His Majesty was unfortunately killed, and Prince Wang Wen sat on the throne and gave the world a special amnesty!

"Then there are three Laos!please," Yang Chaozi said with a spread of his left hand

"Please!"

Seeing that the three of them were far away, Yang Chaozi turned around and saw Lu Yao and said: "Brother Lu, fortunately, you are still down the mountain, I don't know the battle of power disputes in this world, hey!"

"How do you say this?" As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, he heard a person outside the door hurriedly come out, and when he saw Yang Chaozi, he immediately grabbed his arm and said eagerly: "Yang Daochang, you are finally back, come with me to the inner hall, the mayor's wife seems to have been evil, since a few days ago Shangxiang returned to the hall has been silent, the day before yesterday he sneaked out in the middle of the night to bite several chickens and ducks, drink their blood, the demon slayer said that they had to kill the lady to exorcise the evil in the body." ”

As soon as Yang Chaozi heard this, he hurriedly walked away, Lu Yao and Biao Bao followed closely behind, and as soon as they entered the lobby, Lu Yao's eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and a bloody killing aura was in the air.

Yang Chaozi frowned when he saw Lu Yao's eyebrows, and his expression changed a little, and he hurriedly turned around and said, "Brother Lu, is there anything different?"

"En" Lu Yao nodded and responded: "The killing qi must have demons!"

"Please also ask Brother Lu to come with me. Yang Chaozi said, Lu Yao nodded and responded, the three of them followed closely under the leadership of the leader, passed through the hall and entered the inner hall, and saw that there were rockeries and fake water in the inner hall, and there were fish in the pool, so angry, all of them had the appearance of the rich and noble; through the inner hall and into the outer hall, there was a kitchen, a maid, an official errand, and the side room where the guests lived, lined up, so magnificent; through the outer hall to the middle hall, there is a flower garden in the inner hall, the pond rockery, here a hundred flowers are overgrown, the bamboo forest landscape has a scene of love under the moon; through the middle hall and to the inner hall, the inner hall has a floor, the life is called the moon building, this building has three floors, the first floor is the mayor's meeting hall, the second floor is the mayor's home room, and the third floor is the mayor's study, household registration in the town, case approval, etc. are all on it.

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they saw dozens of people, some wearing Taoist robes and long robes, some people who slay demons and demons, some maids, officers and soldiers, and generals.

As soon as everyone saw Yang Chaozi entering, they all got up and clasped their fists and saluted: "Brother Yang!"

"Brothers, stay down and watch one or two. Yang Chaozi replied

The people he brought hurriedly took Yang Chaozi to the second floor, while Lu Yao and Biao Bao were stopped by the soldiers at the staircase station and said: "I'm sorry for the two, the upper floor is the lady, the place where the master lives should not be noisy!

Yang Chaozi just looked helpless, and didn't speak, just turned around and hurriedly went upstairs with a salute, Biao Bao turned around and whispered when he saw this: "No way, the official is so hypocritical, we have to do it according to his original intentions, Brother Lu still come over and sit down and wait!"

Lu Yao nodded in response, followed Biao Bao to sit slowly in front of a chair, the two maids were wearing a maid costume, pure appearance, so handsome, the two put the teacup in front of the table and squatted slightly and said in a low voice, after the salute was completed, he turned around and left, and the eyes of the leopard on the side did not roll, and said: "Brother Lu, you see that the maids in this hall are so handsome, I really don't know what kind of beauty Miss is!"

"Brother Biao, you are a person who learns the Tao and is a good woman?" Lu Yao just said, Biao Bao sighed, and said: "I am really dissatisfied with Brother Lu, I was the king of the mountain back then, and the hundred soldiers below, so free to live, but unfortunately I met the demons, all of them died, and I was left alone, fortunately I met the master, otherwise I would have already reincarnated the soul under the spring, although I have repaid his kindness with his learning, but this heart still likes seven feelings and six desires!"

Lu Yao just smiled and asked, "Are the demons in this world really so rampant?"

"Brother Lu has just come down the mountain for a short time, and he still doesn't know the things in the world, this world is full of demons and ghosts, although there are demons, people who eliminate demons and defend the way, but because they are greedy for official positions and money, they have fought one after another, and the demon slayer has been killed and injured countless times, it is precisely because of this that the demons have taken advantage of this opportunity to rise up one after another, on the other hand, the demon slayers have only been for fame and fortune, and have long been ignored, so this world will be full of demons and monsters. When Biao Bao said this, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of moist tears, presumably recalling the days when he was the king of the mountain in the past, after wiping the tears in his eyes, Biao Bao continued: "But fortunately, now the government has ordered the demon slayer to unite and help each other, and kill the demon together, now I just hope that the demon slayer will abide by it, and just don't fight hard!"

Lu Yao didn't speak, just nodded in response, he didn't know anything in this world, the last time he was in Tianshui Town, he only saw the demon slayer, but they all tried their best to fight against the Tianshui Dragon King and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so the demon slayer in the world is like this, but, I didn't expect to hear this from the mouth of the leopard today, no wonder the demons and monsters in the world are so rampant, there are ten thousand ghosts marrying in the ten thousand towns and towns just over a hundred miles, fortunately they met the cold charm of the lord of the underworld, otherwise it is difficult to say where the fate will be at this moment.

Lu Yao chatted with Biao Bao for a few words, and suddenly heard a roar from the second floor, shaped like the sound of a tiger and a wolf, and several people in the hall rose up in an instant, and one of them said bluntly: "No, quickly inform the mayor that the evil demon in Madame's body has changed viciously, and you need to kill it quickly, so as not to harm the living beings!"

"Please be quiet, Lord Yang is still here, Lord Yang has his own ideas, and please wait for the news. On the stairs, a sixty-year-old housekeeper clasped his hands into fists and said, "Go, tell the lord about this." ”
