Chapter 258: Fighting (1)
The chilly spring is cold, and the spring rain is all night.
Early in the morning, people were talking about each other in the neighborhood on the long street. Some people said that they saw the immortal descending to earth and slashing the dragon with one sword. Some people said that it was a dragon transforming into a dragon and about to set off a flood. The immortal cut off one of his tails, which damaged his cultivation. Some people said that the snake demon was abducted by the masters...
There are many different opinions, but there is no unity.
Everyone said it with a clear and concise manner, as if they all saw it with their own eyes.
In fact, it was just that I heard the sound last night. When I rushed to see it, there was only a snake tail and a broken sword left.
But this is the market,
There are so many legends in the world, with ups and downs, which makes people fascinate, but, in fact, how many people have thought of delving into the essence of facts? Most of the people in the market are like this, and they prefer some mysterious things, plus a little heroism,
Or after some storyteller processing,
It became a legendary story.
Later,
Snake is not a snake, sword is not a sword,
But so what? Even if the parties come out to clarify, it doesn’t make sense. Everyone likes what they want to hear, and no one cares about the truth.
Jiang Mu sat at the door with great interest, listening to the stories between the neighbors in the teahouse next to him, a master hero who wandered around the world and took the people of the world as his responsibility was born in the crowd.
Witness yourself as a morally noble immortal,
It also has a unique flavor.
…………
The business today was not very good. It was not until almost noon that the first guest was Zhou Shengming, the headmaster Zhou who worked in the yamen. He also lives in Fufeng Street and comes to drink wine every day. In the past few months, he has been very familiar with Jiang Mu. Zhou Shengming respects Jiang Mu, who is a rich and noble young man.
Zhou Shengming sat next to Jiang Mu with a pot of wine and said casually: "Young Master Jiang, there was a master in Fufeng Street last night to eliminate demons. Did you hear the movement?"
Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "I heard some noise, but I slept early last night and didn't come out."
"That's a pity," Zhou Shengming said: "Young Master Jiang, you didn't see that the long worm has only a piece of tail, and it has twenty or thirty pounds. I really don't know how big the snake is. The master who eliminates demons is really amazing!"
"Oh," Jiang Mu said in surprise: "Have you all been in trouble with the yamen?"
"That's not," Zhou Shengming said: "The county master personally brought people to carry the snake tail back to the yamen. It is said that all of them have been reported to the Imperial Heaven Supervision!"
The Imperial Heaven Supervision is a relatively special department of the Liang State. It has the seventh department outside the six ministries. Some people call it the Night Ministry. This department seems to be very far away from the lives of the people on weekdays and only exists in legends.
Because the people in this department are different from other official announcements. The people here are only responsible for handling special events that occur in the Liang Kingdom. For example, the riots in the rivers and lakes are rarely disturbed on weekdays. According to legend, the people in the Yemen are all real masters with three heads and six arms.
Jiang Mu chuckled and said, "It seems that the yamen is sure to make a monster."
"If it weren't for the monster, there would be such a big snake!" Zhou Shengming took the wine pot handed over by Anyi, put a few copper plates on the counter, and said, "I'm leaving, Mr. Jiang, I'll take you to see the snake monster tomorrow!"
After saying that, Zhou Shengming went out with a wine pot.
And at this moment,
A Taoist with a goatee suddenly appeared at the door. He held a white sail in one hand and wrote the book "Wuliang Tianzun". He slapped a cloth bag on his shoulder, which was filled with a full body. He hung a compass around his waist, and his Taoist robe was a bit worn.
The Taoist walked straight to Jiang Mu and stopped moving. Jiang Mu raised his head and said in confusion: "Dao priest, is there anything wrong?"
The Taoist did not speak, but stood at the door and looked inside and out, finally fixed his eyes on Jiang Mu, and said, "I want a sword."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Master, then you are here in the wrong place. This is a tavern, with only wine, meat, fruits, vegetables, and no swords. If you want to buy a sword, you need to walk forward another 300 meters. Turn left into the alley. There is a blacksmith shop in the middle of the alley, and there may be a sword there."
The Taoist smiled and stroked his beard and said, "You didn't even ask any sword, how could you know if it wasn't?"
Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why would you like to ask the Taoist priest what sword he wants?"
"A sword that can kill snakes." The Taoist spoke.
Jiang Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "I am not the master here and I can't make a decision. If I need it, go to the shopkeeper of the tavern. However, I think there should be no things here that the Taoist priest wants. There are a few kitchen knives, but they should not be sold."
"No," the Taoist shook his head and said, "You have."
Jiang Mu said, "I don't."
The Taoist gently put the white sail on the ground and said, "Today, you must get me a sword, I will not leave."
Jiang Mu frowned and said unhappily: "Is the Taoist Master here to find me?"
"I only have a sword! Your sword!" said the Taoist.
"Bang"
At this moment, Zhou Shengming, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and came back, slapped the table, and said angrily: "You Taoist, you are so unreasonable. Mr. Jiang doesn't know you. You are so confused here. I believe it or not, I will take you to the county government!"
"Catcher Zhou..."
Jiang Mu wanted to stop Zhou Shengming from making a comeback, but he couldn't have time.
Zhou Shengming had already stepped in front of the Taoist man in one step.
Zhou Shengming was born with a tiger back and a bear waist. He was not angry and was powerful. He gently pushed the Taoist and said seriously: "So that you, a scoundrel Taoist, see clearly. This captain is the chief inspector of the Qilin County Inspection Department. Do you do such a scoundrel in front of me? Do you think the yamen board does not hurt?"
The Taoist smiled slightly, and did not argue with Zhou Shengming, as if he was afraid of Zhou Shengming. He did not have the scoundrel temperament just now. Instead, he looked at Jiang Mu and smiled and said, "You will come to find me."
Then, he turned around decisively, took the white sail, and quickly.
Seeing the Taoist leaving, Jiang Mu's eyes moved slightly.
Zhou Shengming turned around and smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang, you can't settle for such a rogue, otherwise they will be more and more arrogant. If you meet such a person again in the future, you can come to the yamen to find me. As the head of the yamen, it is my duty to maintain public order. Don't think you are bothering me. Well, the yamen has something to do, so I'll leave first!"
As he said that, Zhou Shengming went out with the wine pot.
Jiang Mu opened his mouth and shouted, "Captain Zhou."
Zhou Shengming turned around and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Mu said: "Captain Zhou, if you have any discomfort, remember to send someone to notify me immediately!"
Zhou Shengming smiled and said, "What can I feel uncomfortable?"
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Watching Zhou Shengming leave, Jiang Mu's face became very bad, and he slowly lowered his head and looked at the floor.
On the bluestone floor that the Taoist had just pested with a white sail, cracks began to appear, and they were densely distributed like spider webs. In the blink of an eye, a bluestone slab with two fingers thick turned into powder all over the floor.
In the powder, a centipede slowly poked out her head, as dark as ink, spreading her teeth and claws, slowly climbing to another bluestone brick. The place she climbed over seemed to turn into water and turned into powder.
Jiang Mu's fingers were a little further away, and a sword energy was emitted.
