I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

After leaving Chuzhou, everyone entered the territory of Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou is already the hinterland of Xia Kingdom, but even so, there are still many ghosts and bandits.

In these years, natural disasters have continued, and there are corrupt officials and cults in the local area, which not only breed many ghosts, but also make many people turn into bandits and occupy mountains to plunder.

It's just that Qin Shaoyou didn't expect that even Zhongzhou is like this. If the court can't make some changes as soon as possible, I'm afraid the civil unrest will continue to escalate...

However, Qin Shaoyou and the others did not encounter any major accidents along the way.

Occasionally, thieves and ghosts who don't open their eyes will stare at them. Before they can get close, they will be taken down by Tai Sui Shenjun and others, leaving Qin Shaoyou with no chance to make a move.

After leaving Zhongzhou, Qin Shaoyou and others entered the range of Zhili.

The word Zhili refers to the prefectures and counties directly under the capital. Arriving in Zhili is equivalent to arriving at the periphery of the capital and the core of the Xia Kingdom.

The prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhili are much richer than other places, and the public security is much better. At least Qin Shaoyou and the others have not encountered bandits and ghosts again.

People here in Zhili are much more accepting of monsters than other prefectures and prefectures in Xia Kingdom.

Qin Shaoyou and the others saw a lot of monsters in the market here.

For example, the fox demon dancer with half of her breasts showing off to attract customers, the bull demon and rhinoceros with horns as a performer, and the wild boar spirit who sells dog meat with a sheep's head, etc...

Even among the yamen servants of the government, there are dog monsters dressed up like human beings, following behind the head catcher, showing off their might.

The people here in Zhili are not only not surprised or frightened by the monsters appearing in the market, but are used to it.

Of course, the monsters that can appear in the town are all recorded and archived in the Monster Suppression Division. They belong to good monsters and will not harm others.

Especially those fox demon dancers, many people know their depth...

It's just that these people who know the depth are all men with dark circles under the eyes and kidney deficiency like Zhu Xiucai.

Qin Qiaoer and her red-clothed envoys have all stayed in the capital, and they are used to such scenes.

But Zhu Xiucai and the others were amazed, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Seeing that Zhu Xiucai was constantly looking at the fox dancer and the red-clothed emissary who had become familiar with him, he extended an invitation to him with a smile.

"Xiucai, when we arrive in the capital, let's go to the heaven and earth to watch the fox girl worship the moon and dance together. Let me tell you, the fox girl in the sky and the earth is the best..."

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Xiucai withdrew his gaze, he rejected it sternly: "Don't ask me for this kind of thing, I'm not interested."

Hearing this, the red-clothed emissary was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, obviously thinking that he was joking, and didn't believe that this was what he could say.

Zhu Xiucai didn't explain much, but snorted coldly in disdain in his heart: "What's so good about a fox girl? She has a strong smell. If you don't use incense, you will be vomited as soon as you get close to it. Besides, my current salary can't afford it." Use it indiscriminately, you have to save to marry a wife and have children..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiucai turned his head to look at Cen Biqing, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.

It's better to be a snake demon, with a good figure and smooth skin. Xu Xian is definitely a knowledgeable person. Compared with him, King Zhou is a little careless. I don't know if there is a problem with his nose?

Unlike Zhu Xiucai who looked around curiously, Qin Shaoyou was in a state of high vigilance.

Qin Qiaoer noticed this situation and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shaoyou didn't answer in a hurry, first gestured to Cui Yougui, asked Cui Senior Brother to perform a soundproofing technique, and then said: "I feel a pair of eyes staring at us in the dark, but I didn't find out where those eyes are hidden. .”

Ever since he stepped into Zhili, Qin Shaoyou's intuition reminded him that someone was watching secretly.

However, Qin Shaoyou turned on the effects of [Bright Eyes], [Debate], [Wonderful Nose] and other talents to the extreme, but he still didn't gain anything.

After listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, Qin Qiaoer also looked around vigilantly, and found no suspicious person.

After thinking about it, she suggested, "Send someone to investigate?"

"Not in a hurry."

After pondering for a while, Qin Shaoyou rejected the proposal.

"The other party is good at hiding. Even if we send someone to investigate, we may not be able to find him out. And he probably doesn't know that we have noticed it now. It's better not to startle the snake, and see if he will reveal his flaws."

Qin Qiaoer thought about it, and felt that this was a solution, so she nodded slightly in agreement.

Although there is no rush to investigate, the precautions and vigilance that should be there are indispensable. After all, those eyes hidden in the dark, no one knows whether it is an enemy or a friend, and what plans it has.

After entering Zhili, in addition to the different scenery and eyes hidden in the dark, Qin Shaoyou and the others also found many armed escorts.

Some of these teams are escorted by local garrisons, while others are in charge of escorts.

At first, Qin Shaoyou thought that these teams were either caravans traveling north and south, or teams escorting military supplies and supplies. Later, he asked Qin Qiaoer to find out that they were not.

"These teams are the guidelines for practice." Qin Qiaoer sighed.

"I've heard of the birthday guide, but this practice guide and the birth guide are the same thing?"

Qin Shaoyou had watched "Water Margin" before, and he was no stranger to the birthday guide, knowing that it was a birthday gift delivered in batches to dignitaries.

Qin Qiao'er explained: "It's almost the same. The birthday guide transports birthday gifts, and the practice guide transports various practice materials.

Now that His Majesty is obsessed with cultivating immortals, officials from all over the world naturally want to do what he likes.

Especially in the past few years, several magistrates were very satisfied with the cultivation materials they collected, and were promoted exceptionally, which made many officials see a road to Qingyun...

However, the previous practice guidelines were escorted by the government, so why did the private bodyguards participate this time? "

When Qin Qiaoer said this, she also felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone as a messenger in red to inquire, and soon got the news.

"His Majesty issued a decree not long ago, saying that the previously suspended puja will be reopened, and all places will be ordered to pay tribute to spiritual objects to help the puja to be completed successfully.

This decree was not only sent to the local governments, but also to the wealthy businessmen and families in the southern provinces, ordering them to offer spiritual objects.

The practice guidelines escorted by those bodyguards are the filial piety of wealthy businessmen and noble families from various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. "

Hearing this, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help snorting coldly: "The war in Qingtang is not over yet, the Black Lotus Sect is still making trouble, and the people are suffering unspeakably due to natural and man-made disasters, but our Majesty is busy with the ceremony , busy searching around for cultivation materials so that he can grow into an immortal..."

Glancing at the people around him, Zhu Xiucai finally swallowed the remaining words back into his stomach.

Although Zhu Xiucai didn't say anything, Qin Shaoyou helped him and completed the sentence in his heart: "The emperor is like this, so it's hard for the country to stay in chaos..."
