Chapter 50: The Turtle in the Urn
The big centipede apparently retained its instinct as a bug, and as soon as the crowd dispersed, it crawled rapidly through the walls.
Zhou Xiuchun ran behind Xiahou Ba, complaining as he ran: "Brother Xiahou, you are letting the tiger return to the mountain, in case it finds a bigger one in a while, I may not be able to handle it." ”
Xiahou Ba had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "I just want to see where it goes!"
Zhou Xiuchun asked: "Then how are you going to do it then?"
Xiahou said domineeringly: "Look at this little centipede essence, it has no ability to run away, it must be one size bigger than it, at most it will only bite people, with the skills of the two of us, how can it be bitten?"
"Damn, such a big thing, you actually call it a little centipede essence?"
Xiahou said domineeringly: "If you don't agree, you can call it a centipede essence!"
"And what about the one you said was one size bigger?"
"Big centipede spirit. ”
"What about the one that is bigger than the big centipede spirit?"
"Extra-large!"
"......" Zhou Xiuchun suddenly fell silent.
Xiahou Ba asked strangely, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Xiuchun shook his head, and said with a sigh on his face: "It's nothing, but I suddenly remembered that in my hometown, a drink called Starbucks ......"
The two of them followed the panicked centipede out of the Shangshufu compound, and on the road outside the gate of the compound, an open flame was fighting, and the fire stretched for several miles, almost illuminating the entire street.
The neighbors of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites are naturally other Shangshu, generals and other figures in the imperial court, and the family of Lord Zheng was so noisy just now, of course, it is impossible for these awesome neighbors not to react.
As soon as the big centipede appeared, there was an uproar on the street.
When Zhou Xiuchun saw that there were so many people, his courage suddenly became fat, he took out the six door tokens on his body, shook them twice, and shouted: "Da Nei Secret Agent 007 is ordered to investigate the monster cannibalism case, and everyone get out of the way, this big centipede is my informant!"
The unknown crowd hurriedly got out of the way, and when the centipede saw that there was a way out, it shook its head twice, found its direction and continued to run violently.
"Chase!" Zhou Xiuchun picked up Xiahou Ba and ran.
Xiahou Ba said with a shocked face: "Brother Zhou, it turns out that you are the emperor's henchman!"
Zhou Xiuchun said casually: "Henchmen, I'll shake theirs!"
"What?" Xiahou Ba exclaimed, "Brother Zhou, if you make up this kind of rumor, you will be expelled from the unit!"
Zhou Xiuchun turned his face and looked at Xiahou with disdain: "Damn, now that there are thousands of witnesses on this street who saw us rushing into the imperial city in the middle of the night, wouldn't I have been expelled if I didn't spread rumors?"
Xiahou Ba's face immediately turned straight, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Until now, only by solving this case can I give the emperor an explanation!"
"Brother Xiahou ......"
"What?"
"Do you feel that the fire behind you is getting brighter?"
Xiahou Ba turned his head and glanced at the general who ran in front of him, and the general seemed to be encouraged, raised his torch and shouted: "Kill all the monsters that eat people!"
A large group of thousands of people shouted at the back: "Kill all the man-eating monsters!"
"Swear to defend the emperor to the death!"
"Swear to defend the emperor to the death!"
"I love Beijing!"
"I love Beijing!"
The shouting shook the sky, and the frightened centipede ran faster and faster, and its body was half floating.
More and more people inexplicably joined this procession in the middle of the procession, and later, the firelight illuminated almost half of the imperial city.
Even the Imperial Forest Army didn't know when they followed, everyone followed behind Zhou Xiuchun and Xiahou Ba, and after running around the imperial city for half a circle, they finally stopped in front of the National Teacher's Mansion.
Zhou Xiuchun glanced back at it casually, and whispered to Xiahou: "There are almost a group of people with us, or we will directly command them to burn down this house." ”
Xiahou Ba looked at the three gilded characters of "National Teacher's Mansion" on the door, his head was full of cold sweat, and his face was pale: "This monster is too insidious, it is actually hiding in Master Cihang Pudu's mansion!"
Damn, your IQ has also been eaten quietly and silently, right?
Zhou Xiuchun scolded secretly in his heart and said, "Brother Xiahou, haven't you ever thought that in fact, Master Cihang Pudu is the leader of the monsters?"
"How is this possible?" Xiahou Ba said in disbelief, "The master is a monk, and he is compassionate, although the emperor is funny, he is not so confused that he canonizes a monster as the protector of the country!"
Zhou Xiuchun said: "Do you think that the big centipede just now is a pet raised by Cihang Pudu?"
"Who dares to make a noise outside the Protector's Mansion?"
The door suddenly opened, and out came a middle-aged man wearing a monk's robe, who could not distinguish between men and women. It glanced at Zhou Xiuchun and Xiahou Ba, then glanced at the thousands of people who followed them, and said loudly: "What is the matter when you come here late at night? Lord Fazhang has already rested, you have to listen to the master's teachings, you can come back tomorrow!"
Xiahou Ba was preconceived, and he was already stupid by the name of "Protector of the Country", and he didn't dare to answer casually.
Zhou Xiuchun knew how powerful it was, if he didn't get this matter done today, even if Cihang Pudu didn't deal with him personally, as long as he said a few bad words to the second emperor, it would be enough for him to drink two barrels.
With the arrow on the bow, Zhou Xiuchun stiffened his head and responded loudly: "No, this matter must be explained today!"
The Dharma Protector asked, "Why are you so persistent?"
"This is not a attachment, this is a principle!" Zhou Xiuchun shouted, "Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much! Today's affairs, today's end! Don't wait for idleness, the young man's head is white, empty and sad! An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time!"
"Enough! Shut up!" the Dharma Protector shouted angrily, "Do you dare to disturb the Fazhang Qingxiu, do you know what kind of crime this is?"
Zhou Xiuchun said: "We are not here to find Lord Fazhang, we are here to find monsters! Just now, a centipede the size of a crocodile ran into the yard, and thousands of people behind me saw it, everyone said yes?"
The onlookers finally came in handy, and replied loudly, "Yes!"
Zhou Xiuchun simply ignored the Dharma protector, turned to the large group of people who were making a lot of fun, and said to the crowd who didn't know the truth: "Comrades, now, the monster has run into the courtyard of Lord Fazhang's house. Lord Hojo is the pillar of my dynasty, and if he is injured by a monster, it will be a great loss to the country and the people. As the emperor's courtiers, as the servants of this country, can we stand idly by and watch after witnessing the monster running into this room?"
"Can't-!"
"So tell it out loud, what should we do now!?"
There was silence.
Zhou Xiuchun hurriedly pulled out the cross knife, raised it high, and shouted: "Kill the monster and report the country!"
Thousands of people had the backbone, and immediately shouted: "Kill monsters, report the country!"
"Knife in hand, follow me!"
"Knife in hand, follow me-!"
"Brothers, rush in with me and protect Lord Fajo!"
"Rush!"
Zhou Xiuchun kicked the Dharma protector and was the first to rush into the courtyard.
Thousands of people flocked to it.
Zhou Xiuchun couldn't help shouting in his heart: The giant wheel of history has rolled, and any reactionaries are all scum with a combat strength of less than 5 before the tide of the people's war!
Then, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard with his front feet, the gate of the courtyard suddenly slammed shut.
The evening breeze was blowing, and Zhou Xiuchun was standing alone in a blue and secluded courtyard, chilling all over.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes.
When I looked up, I saw a statue floating above my head.
"There is no Elysium in the south, if the West is here, you still don't kneel down and confess?"
The solemn voice reached the ears of everyone outside the door.
Thousands of people who originally came to kill each other knelt on the ground.
The corners of Zhou Xiuchun's mouth twitched twice, he took a breath tremblingly, and said with tears streaming down his face: You are spicy next door, feudal superstition kills people......
