At the end of Xiziwu Street, Guiping County, as Qin Yong said, there is a unique courtyard. Although there is no Fairy Sword Hall, the main halls such as the Yongsheng Gate are elegant and luxurious, they also look extremely solemn and mysterious because of a small "Yongsheng Gate Branch" plaque hanging.

On the surface, it is just an ordinary courtyard with red walls and black tiles. The gatehouse is always on duty by two gatehouses dressed in black. One has a face full of pockmarks, with a surname Zhang, and is known as "Zhang Mazi", and the other has a scammer's eyes, a beard with a surname Xue, and is known as "Xue Huzi". Although they often talk about the market with their neighbors in Guiping, once they talk about their business, they always look like they are taboo. Over time, people have become accustomed to not discussing such topics with them. Therefore, only they themselves know what the branch courtyard looks like.

On Qingming Festival, Zhang Mazi happened to be sitting in the doorman and saw a strong man carrying a black cloth to come over. The outline of the object, looking closely, was a personal figure, so he put away his bored expression and opened his eyes wide.

The man was transformed by the drought, so he walked straight to the window and asked, "Do you collect monsters here?"

Zhang Mazi was stunned, then smiled disapprovingly: "Sir, how can you joke. How can you tell me the truth? There are no monsters in this world? How can you say that you will collect monsters? Qingming Festival is the day to worship ancestors. It's not good to make such jokes."

Hanba took two steps back and looked up at the plaque. It was indeed written with five words "Yongshengmen Branch". I was sure that I had not gone to the wrong place, so I whispered: "It was Qin Yong who introduced me to me."

When Zhang Mazi heard the word "Qin Yong", he was shocked. He looked around and saw nothing unusual and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Hanba said: "Friends who used to catch monsters together."

Zhang Mazi leaned out the window again, looked around, and whispered: "Come in and talk."

When the person came into the doorman, Zhang Mazi immediately closed the window. Hanba threw the heavy object on his shoulder to the ground, and the black cloth immediately dispersed, revealing the unconscious Chen Shuqing.

When Zhang Mazi saw Chen Shuqing's beautiful appearance, she immediately swallowed and asked, "Is this a monster?"

Hanba said: "This is a nine-tailed fox demon, but it's just a half-demon, so it looks like a humanoid appearance. And it seems that her demonic power has been temporarily sealed and will only recover after three days of full moon night. Let's see, how much is it worth?"

Zhang Mazi smiled and said, "You said she is a monster, but she is a monster? Haha, brother, you are useless, what can I use to believe your words?"

"It's really troublesome." Hanba thought for a while, "Look at her hair, flax color, how do you look like a human?"

Zhang Mazi laughed and said, "Those foreigners still have golden hair. There are all kinds of hair in this world. Why did she become a monster?"

Hanba was annoyed and raised Zhang Mazi's collar and said angrily: "Do you want to die?"

Seeing that the other party was coming in a fierce manner, Zhang Mazi had to smile bitterly and said, "Oh brother, we are all chores. The person who really wants to buy these monsters is our leader He. But others are far away in Guilin. We don't dare to make decisions casually if we don't see monsters at the real price. Let's talk about it, how did you catch this monster..." As he said, Zhang Mazi already touched the handgun that he was blocking his waist.

Hanba was about to change his face, but Fu Yan crawled out of his arms and said, "Then look at me, is it a monster?"

When Zhang Mazi saw Fu Yan, he immediately stopped his movements and responded: "Oh, it turns out that the two old men are really monsters! Since that's the case, let me go in and report it and reply to the two of you."

Drought Ba said impatiently: "If it weren't for being too lazy to cause riots, I would have to pay for you humans one by one? Get out, go and go back quickly!"

Zhang Mazi entered the yard with trembling fear, found Xue Huzi, pulled him to a corner and said, "It's such a strange thing. Two monsters came at the door and caught a beautiful woman like a fairy. She said that it was introduced by Qin Yong. She also insisted on saying that the woman was a nine-tailed fox demon and insisted on buying it. If she didn't buy it, she would probably smash our place! What should you do?"

Xue Huzi thought for a while and said, "How much do they want?"

"Well, I haven't said it yet..."

"Then why don't you negotiate with them before coming in?"

Zhang Mazi said, "Oh, that woman is unconscious. How can I be sure whether she is a human or a monster? If it is a monster, wouldn't it be fine. If it is not a monster, why would Master He ask us?"

Xue Huzi knocked Zhang Mazi on the head and scolded: "You pig brain, you can't even understand such a good thing. Listen to me and negotiate an extremely low price. Let's buy it yourself first. If it's a monster, the nine-tailed fox monster is worth a lot of money. Let's find a way to sell it privately to the Zhu who was surnamed Zhu in the Fairy Sword Hall. If it's not a monster, but a human, then this beautiful woman as fairy...hehe..."

When Xue Huzi said the four words "beautiful as a fairy", he deliberately emphasized his tone, and his sinister intentions were obvious.

Zhang Mazi suddenly realized and clapped her hands and said, "Smart, Brother Xue is smart! Don't worry, if you have me, you will have brothers and you. I'll go now, haha!"

Before Zhang Mazi took a few steps, Xue Huzi reminded him in the back: "Hey, hey, I can only know this matter, and never let the third person know!"

When he returned to the doorman, Zhang Mazi said respectfully: "You two have been waiting for a long time. This girl, oh, no, no, how much do you want for this monster?"

Hanba said: "From now on, you will be given as much as you need to go back to Gansu."

Zhang Mazi was immediately overjoyed and thought, if this woman was really a nine-tailed fox demon, her appearance would be worth more than 100 taels of silver. If she was a woman on earth, she would be enough to sell for 400 taels of silver to a fireworks place. She hurriedly said, "If it's just a travel fee, go back to Gansu and find a fast horse. Including food and accommodation, five taels of silver is enough. What about me, I want the two of you to eat better and live better. How about seven taels of silver?"

Zhang Mazi's psychological price is ten taels of silver, and he specially reserved three taels of silver as a bargaining space. Unexpectedly, Hanba was already impatient and said, "Seven taels are seven taels, please bring them quickly."

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Zhang Mazi had already smiled and took out the silver from his arms, handed it to Hanba, and said, "Brother, wait, I'll write you a receipt."

Hanba got the money, and without saying much, he walked straight out of the door, leaving behind a helpless Zhang Mazi.

Fu Yan asked, "Master, are you going back now?"

"Since the person named Pu is dead, it's useless to stay here." Hanba said, "The climate in the south is humid, I don't like it, so go back quickly."

"The king forgot that there is another Qin Yong waiting for us in the cave."

Hanba slapped his head: "Look at my memory, let's go."

The two monsters stayed in Guiping for only half a day, and when the dusk was about to gather, they disappeared into the vast crowd.

Among the crowd behind them, there was a pair of eyes staring at them. That was Li Zhong, who had never returned from his grave when he went out to visit the grave. When Hanba walked away, he said to himself, "Miss Shuqing" and rushed to Wangyoutang again.

...

At night, Chen Shuqing finally woke up, but saw that she could not move. After a little calm, she realized that her hands and legs were tied up. She wanted to call for help, but found that a circle of thick cloth was tied up on her mouth. When she shook her body, she found that she was being locked in a cage.

Looking back carefully, it was probably after killing Wu Youxiang and the other two during the day, he knocked himself out and sent him to a certain place. On the one hand, he was glad that he was still alive, but on the other hand, he was saddened by the deaths of Wu Youxiang and the other. He was sad for a moment, and tears fell like rain.

Soon, the door opened and a man entered the room with a kerosene lamp.

This person was Zhang Mazi. Seeing that Chen Shuqing finally woke up, he immediately put the kerosene lamp on the table and whispered outside the door: "Hey, I'm awake!"

Xue Huzi rushed in and said to Zhang Mazi: "Feed her something quickly and don't starve to death."

Zhang Mazi untied the cloth strip on Chen Shuqing's mouth through the cage, and was about to stuff her with steamed buns, Chen Shuqing took the opportunity to ask, "Who are you? Where am I now?"

Zhang Mazi wanted to find out Chen Shuqing's true identity, so he pretended to be friendly and asked, "This place is the Guiping Branch of the Yongshengmen. I asked the girl what she said. As long as the girl answered truthfully, we will not make things difficult for you."

When the tiger falls into Pingyang, he is bullied by a dog. Chen Shuqing has no choice and responds: "Okay, ask."

"I heard you are a nine-tailed fox demon, are you?"

This person asked this question, which showed that Hanba had already introduced his identity to them, but he was not sure, so he made a cliché. Chen Shuqing wanted to answer the truth and scare them away, but realized that his demonic power had not yet been restored. He also estimated that the cage was built by Xiaoye Zitan, and he could not use the demonic power, so he could only take it away with wisdom.

Looking back on that day, coachman Lao Fang and Wu Youxiang both said that Guangxi had a tradition of trading monsters. Hanba also said that he wanted to sell her to Gansu for money, and he must have been sold to the Eternal Life Sect. If he said that he was an ordinary human, he naturally could not trade, so he said, "What monster? I don't understand. Did you catch the wrong person?"

The two of them looked at each other immediately, and Xue Huzi frowned and said, "We have to make sure that we can twist her out of this prison demon cage first. If she is really a half-demon, she will definitely transform. If she does not transform, she will definitely be a human."

Zhang Mazi hesitated: "But what if it is really a monster, can we deal with it?"

Xue Huzi said, "She is tied up with her hands and feet, what are she afraid of? Even if she breaks free, we will call dozens of people who can fight to subdue her. What's more, if she is not sure about her identity, there is no way to talk about the next step."

Zhang Mazi thought about it, so he tied Chen Shuqing's mouth again, plucked up the courage to open the cage, and moved Chen Shuqing out of the cage with Xue Huzi in a hurry.

Poor Chen Shuqing left Xiaoye Zitan and could have easily subdued the two of them, but because of the evil spirit, he was unable to move, so he could only watch himself being tricked by the two of them.

"Oh, it's really not a monster." Zhang Mazi said with relief.

"Then return the prisoner cage to the warehouse to avoid arousing suspicion, and then go and get an ordinary iron cage."

Zhang Mazi immediately did as he did, took away the cage, and soon took back an iron cage, stuffed Chen Shuqing back, then pulled Xue Huzi out the door, and said with a smile: "Put this woman in this room first, and it should not be discovered within one or two days. When you are on duty tomorrow, I will rent a house outside the suburbs and get this woman over while there is no one at night, and then, hehe..."

Xue Huzi echoed with a smile: "I've had enough fun, I'll sell it again, hehe..."
