The next morning, outside the county government office.

Wu Xia and a middle-aged man in a green shirt came out of the second hall.

The so-called second hall is also the place where the county magistrate handles disputes among the people, but it is not as serious as the main hall. In comparison, it is more like a civil dispute mediation place. The county magistrate handles cases here because neither party wants to offend.

The two looked at each other, one squinted, and the other smiled.

"It's unreasonable to act like this!"

"Why did the woman say that? The woman revealed the list, and I also revealed the list. The woman went to Wangjiacun, and I also went to Wangjiacun. What's more, I bought some things and made some arrangements downstream. I beat that water ghost to serious injuries, how can I get rid of it easily with a heroine and a warrior?"

"fart!"

"You woman, you are so rude..."

"You son of a bitch, be careful when you walk."

"Don't worry about the heroine."

The two walked out of the gate of the county government all the way.

Standing outside the door was a young Taoist priest, squatting next to a three-coloured cat, licking its paws.

Nvxia Wu paused for a moment, then looked towards that direction.

The middle-aged man also looked towards that direction.

Song You smiled, walked over slowly, and bowed to the middle-aged man: "Song You, a mountain native from Lingquan County, Yizhou, don't know where you have learned from?"

"Who are you……"

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Song You.

Originally, he had just arrived in Changjing, but because the prices in Changjing were too high, he really had no way to survive, so he went to the gate of the city to pick a list, hoping to earn some money, so that he could gain a foothold in Changjing. In order to catch the water ghost, he spent all the money he had left on his body to buy some ghost-hunting items, but when he arrived, he found that he had been robbed first, and he had no money left. I am really not reconciled.

Hearing that the person who unveiled the list was a martial artist, his mind gradually became active.

No matter how skilled the Jianghu warrior is, he has the confidence to deal with it, and compared to a Jianghu warrior, he would be more willing to believe that he exorcised the ghost when he came to the county.

Who would have thought that there was a Taoist beside the other party.

He is familiar with the martial arts of the Jianghu people, and there are many ways to deal with them, but he has no idea about those who practice Taoism.

Strange people in the rivers and lakes are often like this, sometimes they don't know what tactics the opponent will have, and when they fight, it is difficult to say that the one who is superior will definitely win, sometimes a little carelessness, a little carelessness, and unconsciously. After being tricked by others, by the time he reacts, he is already dead.

There are just too many variables.

If he had known earlier, he would have thought about it again.

But now it's hard to get off.

Just now the county magistrate has said that if anyone is found out who dares to lie and forge in court and deceive him, he will be punished.

The middle-aged man looked up and down, feeling a little more confident in his heart.

At least this Taoist looks younger.

"My surname is Lai, my name is Mao, and my style name is Ziming. I'm from Jingzhou, so please be polite." The middle-aged man also bowed his hands and returned the salute, "I don't know what you can do with this gentleman?"

"I see that I am also a practitioner. I have some Taoism, but I am embarrassed for a while. Even if I go to the streets to perform, I can still be very popular. Why do you use such a dirty method to steal our bounty?"

"Sir, don't lie to me." The middle-aged man was not afraid because he saw his morality at a glance, "It seems that sir is the companion of this heroine. I have already told the companion of sir, the afternoon before yesterday I also unveiled the list at the East City Gate, went to Wangjia Village the night before, and made some arrangements, fought with the water ghost and injured it, if not, the water ghost would not have escaped to the two of you, It won’t be so simple for the two of you to divide. When I came to Changjing at the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, I was embarrassed for a while, and I told my husband’s companion that only half of the reward is enough, and the two of you seem to be unwilling.”

"I know it's a lie."

"It seems that you really don't want to..." The middle-aged man also looked at him, "Mr. is partnering with this heroine, but he doesn't want to show up in the county government, but what are the scruples?"

"Just lazy."

"hehe……"

The middle-aged man laughed a few times, but he didn't believe it. Instead, he returned Song You's words: "Mr. Xiaguan is also a practitioner, and he also has some Taoism. Practice is not easy. Sometimes you should be more generous. This kind of thing can be negotiated peacefully." It’s better to negotiate peace and start fighting, there are too many variables.”

"oh?"

But Song You showed an expression of great interest:

"What kind of peace talks?"

"Since there are two people, sir, I will take another step back and take eight taels of silver, and the two of you will get twelve taels. As for the county government, just find any excuse, as long as we all agree, it will be over. People don't want to easily offend people like us." The middle-aged man said, "It's not impossible for Lai to invite you two to drink two cups of tea, how about it?"

"I'm going to bully you with one step." Song You smiled instead, with a relaxed tone.

"Ms. Lai is very sincere!"

"See you next time."

"Sir, are you going to compete with Lai?" The middle-aged man said, narrowing his eyes and becoming vigilant, "Lai still said that this kind of thing can be negotiated or negotiated, and no one can fight. Life and death cannot be guaranteed, if the husband feels bad, you can still discuss it."

"Before now, my companion has told me that if my life is inconvenient, I can give you a tael of silver. Why don't you want to?"

"One tael is too little, not enough for a month's rent in Changjing."

"I see……"

"Sir, please clarify."

"I'm just asking for money, and I'm willing to give you a chance. If you regret it, just go to the county government to clarify." Song You said, "If you want to kill me, it's a different matter."

"Then it's up to you sir!"

"See you again."

After Song You finished speaking, he had already started walking.

The three-flowered cat lowered its paws, turned its head to stare at the middle-aged man, and then followed with small steps.

Wu Xia also chased after her.

After passing the corner, she asked in a low voice:

"How about it?"

"It's kind of sensible."

"What do you mean by a bit of morality? Can you beat him?" Wu Xia followed him closely, her voice lowered, "If you're not sure, don't be brave, or I'll go to him to trouble you. This kind of charlatan, I’ve also seen a lot of things that are gimmicky, and if you go down with a knife, your head will fall or fall off.”

"If there is no accident, he will find the county government in a few days and explain the matter clearly."

"No accidents? So there are still accidents."

"Everything happens by accident."

"What's the meaning?"

"It's not easy to say." Song You said seriously, "However, I, the descendant of Fulongguan, travels the world and rarely encounters such accidents."

"So confident?"

"A little bit."

"Didn't you say that he has some skills?"

"Only a little."

"He also said that you have some skills."

"He was talking nonsense."

"That's right!" Wu Xia nodded, "So when are you going to find him? I'll be with you."

"No need to go."

"What's the meaning?"

"I've looked for him."

"..."

Nvxia Wu paused in her footsteps and was taken aback for a moment.

It was only then that they realized that the battle between them had already begun before they knew it.

Then he felt novelty, felt that this kind of practice and the struggle of people in the Taoist sect were different from the warriors in the rivers and lakes, even his eyes lit up a little, and he hurried forward to ask for details, wanting to gain some insight.

...

The middle-aged man stood there, staring in that direction, frowning.

The young Taoist seemed very confident.

Of course, he didn't show any timidity during the few conversations just now—no matter what his skills are, if he is weaker than others in the world, he will lose a little bit first.

Momentum is absolutely indispensable.

That young Taoist should be the same.

Withdrawing his gaze, he walked down the street.

While walking, he reached into his sleeve and took out a small wooden figure about two fingers wide and less than a palm long. He looked carefully and saw that there was nothing unusual about it, but just to be on the safe side, he still took it out Throwing it to the corner of the street, he kept walking.

This is his substitute.

It is also his greatest skill.

With this substitute, unless the opponent used magic to burn him to ashes, or chopped off his head with a knife, no matter what else he did, he could be transferred to the substitute.

So it should be safe and sound.

I went back to the temporary residence I found and rested, but I was always vigilant and didn't dare to take it lightly.

Lying on the wooden board, I couldn't help thinking wildly in my heart——

Sometimes he suddenly became ruthless and wanted to find trouble with those two people, get rid of them without knowing it, and swallow twenty taels of silver all by himself. Thinking about it, he could live in Changjing for at least half a year, so he could stand on his feet. But soon he felt that it was not worthwhile to commit murder for the sake of twenty taels, and heard that Changjing had been very strict about such things recently, so it was best not to do so.

Sometimes I suddenly regret it, thinking that I should give more steps and take less, maybe the other party will agree, but now that there is an extra enemy, I still have to worry about it, and I can’t sleep well.

Sometimes I regret that I didn't act first and do something, so that I am very passive now.

Gradually in the afternoon, and then in the evening.

I only ate a mustache in the middle.

I don't know if it was because I thought too much, or I was so hungry that I didn't eat, but I didn't fall asleep until late at night.

If someone is in his room, you can see that this person is lying on the bed tossing and turning, sometimes frowning tightly because he can't fall asleep, and sometimes forcing his brows to open, trying to relax, trying to fall asleep.

But no matter what, he just couldn't sleep.

The eyes are getting more and more astringent, but the mind is very clear.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the middle-aged man suddenly woke up and sat up——

This is not normal! Not normal insomnia!

Nor is it the insomnia of anxiety and worry!

It was the method of the young Taoist!

"Why?"

Why did Baishi Bailing's substitute not work today?

The middle-aged man didn't have time to think about this, so he got up quickly, took out a small wooden figure from his bag, held it in his hand, and chanted a spell at the same time.

Whispering in a low voice, I read it three times.

Then he pinched the wooden man's head and exerted force with his hand.

"Snapped!"

He pulled out his head directly.

"call……"

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again, feeling relaxed.

I'm afraid it's already three o'clock, and it's time to go to sleep.

But I couldn't help thinking about it in my mind--

For a while, I felt that the young Taoist seemed to have some skills. Should I go to him tomorrow and be subdued, just think that I have lost the money, and find another way to gain a foothold in Changjing, and it is not impossible to go to the streets to perform.

After a while, I thought that since people have already made a move, if I don't show courtesy, I'm afraid I will be looked down upon and feel like a bully. But if he finds it back by himself, the young Taoist really seems to have some skills, will he make this matter worse and worse, and even die forever?

Calculating in my heart, looking forward and backward, it is difficult to fall asleep.

By the time he reacted, it was already dawn.

"wrong!"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes wide.
