I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

"Boom boom boom..."

The weird drum sound in the middle of the night has been ringing non-stop since it appeared.

The rhythm of the drums was neither fast nor slow, maintaining the same frequency as the heart, making everyone who heard it feel a strange sense of irritability and discomfort.

Inside the demon town, the night watchmen who had finally endured the heat and fell asleep were woken up one after another.

When they first woke up, they were still a little dazed, unable to recognize that it was the sound of drums, and accused each other.

"Who the hell is this? The snoring is so loud, why don't you let people sleep?"

"Old Shi, don't sleep, wake up, is it because you are snoring?"

"Fuck your mother, I'm awake! Besides, how can I snore so loudly? Why don't you say that this is the sound of you grinding your teeth and farting?"

"Can I fart continuously and keep ringing?"

After a brief dispute, the night watchmen became more awake, and realized that the non-stop sound of 'dong dong' was indeed not like grinding teeth, farting and snoring.

Zhu Xiucai did not participate in the dispute, he had been listening attentively, and greeted at this moment: "Stop arguing, this voice is coming from outside!"

A night watchman was overjoyed when he heard the words, and guessed: "Isn't it the sound of thunder? Could it be that it's going to rain? That's really an eye opener! The drought in Mianyuan County will definitely be relieved when the rain comes. Quite a few."

"It's not thunder."

Cui Yougui listened carefully, then shook his head and said, "This sound is a bit like beating a drum."

"Drumming?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and they were all surprised: "It's midnight, why is there someone beating drums?"

Cui Yougui was also puzzled, his intuition told him that the sound of the drum was weird.

So he couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up from the Datong bunk, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, pushed the door and went out.

Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others followed closely behind, and the other night watchmen got out of bed one after another.

Everyone wanted to see what was going on with the drumming in the middle of the night.

Could it be that there was a supper offered to come to your door?

While walking, Zhu Xiucai greeted: "Hey, old man, wait a minute, you're wearing the wrong clothes, those pants are mine..."

As soon as everyone walked out of Datong shop, they saw Qin Shaoyou standing in the yard, fully armed.

A patrol officer on duty at night was reporting to Qin Shaoyou with a strange expression.

Cui Yougui and the others immediately joined in.

While Zhu Xiucai was holding up his trousers, he also came up to listen.

I heard the tour officer say: "My lord, the sound of this drum comes from the Drum of Crying Wrongs in front of the county government gate..."

The Mingyuan Drum is a drum set up in front of government offices at all levels, also known as the Shouting Wrong Drum, which is specially used by ordinary people to complain to officials.

This is where the so-called 'beating the drum to cry out grievances' comes from.

But who would sound the drum of grievance in the middle of the night?

You know, Mianyuan County, like Luo City, has a curfew system.

Especially after Li Anan and other Black Lotus Cult monsters tried in vain to establish the Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom in Mianyuan County, Mianyuan County has stricter control over the curfew.

That's why Zhu Xiucai and the others were very surprised, and asked in a hurry:

"Who is it that is beating the drum for grievances?"

"How did he escape the night watchmen and run outside the county government office to beat the drum?"

"Where is the man who complained? Why didn't he bring him in?"

Hearing everyone's inquiries, the patrol officer on duty at night shook his head and said, "There was no one beating the drum, and the grievance drum was played by himself."

"Is the drum of grievance ringing by itself?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youyu and others finally understood why the patrol officer had a strange expression.

Qin Shaoyou was also surprised.

Although he recognized that it was the sound of a drum and that the sound came from outside the yamen, he did not expect that it was the sound of the Mingyuan Drum without anyone beating it.

what is this?

Is it the sound of grievances?

Or are there ghosts who are good at changing and invisible, hiding in the dark and knocking on it?

No matter which possibility it is, it seems to be related to ghosts.

So what is the intention of this demon beating the drum for grievances?

Demonstration? provocative? Or... cry for injustice?

Qin Shaoyou was a little curious in addition to being surprised, and immediately greeted: "Go, go out and have a look."

Then he strode towards the outside of Zhenyaosi's yamen.

Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others hurriedly followed.

At the same time, don't forget to let your subordinates bring enough weapons and equipment in case of emergency.

Sun Xianzong arranged for a few good archers to climb over the courtyard wall with their bows and crossbows to take charge of guarding and covering.

As soon as Qin Shaoyou and the others walked out of the Yamen of Zhenyaosi, the door of the county government also opened.

A few yamen servants hid behind the door shivering, poking their heads.

An Mu Tongze and Fifth Sister strode out.

Fifth Sister held a spear in her hand and a knife hanging from her waist.

An Mutong was holding a long sword.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou and the night watchman coming, An Mutong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to him.

Qin Shaoyou also nodded in response, and then turned his attention to the grievance drum at the gate of the county government office.

The drum was nearly one meter in diameter, with a dark yellow surface and many spots on the cloth, and it was placed on a wooden stand.

At this moment, there are no people around the drum, and there are no traces of ghosts.

Cui Yougui also sensed it with his spiritual power, and said that he didn't notice any ghosts around Mingyuan Drum.

Although it was watched by the crowd, the drum of grievances was still beeping.

Everyone could even clearly see its eardrum vibrating, just like the beating of the heart.

The night watchmen quickly put on a fighting posture and surrounded the drum of complaints.

Different from the trembling yamen servants, they were all very excited, with a kind of meaning of "rejoicing after hearing the monster", and they were still discussing with each other in a low voice:

"It's really the sound of the grievance drum itself."

"Isn't this complaining of grievances becoming a spirit? Then can't we have extra meals tonight?"

"Why didn't your lord order us to rush up and kill this drum?"

The yamen servants who were hiding in the county yamen were all astonished and puzzled after hearing what the night watchman said.

What does this have to do with extra meals?

And these night watchmen, why are they so looking forward to extra meals? Could it be that Zhenyaosi doesn't even have enough to eat on weekdays?

Not to mention that the yamen servants don't understand, those night watchmen retained by the town demon division in Mianyuan County also don't understand why this group of colleagues transferred from Luocheng have such high expectations for haunted ghosts.

It seems that what they are going to face is not some ghosts, but... a delicious banquet?

With full vigilance, Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui walked up to the call for grievances.

After some inspection, Cui Yougui said: "It's not that the drum has become a spirit, but that a ghost is sealed inside this drum..."

Qin Shaoyou touched the vibrating tympanic membrane with a solemn expression: "This tympanic membrane is not cowhide or other things, but human skin!"

"Human skin drum?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

They were not afraid of this kind of evil thing, but rather surprised, why is there a human skin drum in front of the county government office?

Moreover, this human skin drum was used as a grievance drum, and there was even a ghost sealed inside!

Who operated this? What is his intention? Are you provoking the county government and the town demon division?

In addition, what does it mean that this human skin drum sounds in the middle of the night?

From the current situation, it seems that it is only beating the drum and doing nothing else.

It can't, it's really beating drums and calling for injustice, right?

"Ghost shouting for injustice? Such things are not common."

Cui Yougui looked at the human skin drum, then at Qin Shaoyou, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed: "Qin Zongqi, you really attract ghosts, wherever you go, accidents happen... "

Qin Shaoyou smiled wryly.

This thing is really hard to explain.

He even wondered if he really had the miraculous physique of a 'dead primary school student', and accidents would happen wherever he went, right?

However, Zhu Xiucai has a different view.

He shook his head and seriously refuted Cui Yougui's words.

"Old Daoist, you're wrong to say that. Doesn't this ghost call for injustice? Doesn't it just mean that our lord judges the case fairly? Is it the Lord Qingtian? Even ghosts know that when our lord comes, Mianyuan County will be peaceful. When our lord comes, There will be a blue sky. Otherwise, how could ghosts beat the drums outside the gate of our demon town to complain?"

Cui Yougui was dumbfounded.

This flattery is too loud, right?

Qin Shaoyou glanced at Zhu Xiucai with satisfaction, and thought to himself: As expected of a person who has passed the examination of a scholar, he really can speak!

Thanks: There is one, I envy fish and cattle and horses, wasteland rambler, for the reward~
