Mystery Makes Me Strong

Yes, Wen Rensheng couldn't help but laugh after seeing the actions of the five people.

They hadn't thought of one thing: after inviting the tiger in, they killed the wolf.

However, the tiger also stayed.

This is like a story that a hunter is good at imitating the calls of wild beasts. When he encounters a wild beast, he imitates a beast that is stronger than it and scares it away.

Until one day, he entered the nesting doll mode.

Powerful beasts came one after another, and he had to imitate more powerful beasts until the most powerful beast appeared.

And now, Lin Feng, the monster hunter, is facing this situation.

...

Sure enough, it was just as Wen Rensheng expected.

Everyone never expected that after driving away the incense monster, as the scholars went to various places to serve, strange things happened repeatedly.

In fact, when the emperor encountered a great threat, he had restored the Ming Dynasty to the modern state through the materials of the double-passing door.

But after a battle with the incense monster, the incense monster restored the control range to the state of the Ming Dynasty...

Pulled repeatedly.

Until now, the incense monster died.

…

A remote mountain town.

Liu Xingan was a fellow Jinshi in the past.

The emperor had been making trouble before, and he had no chance to take office.

Now that the monsters have retreated, he quickly found a way to get a real job as a county magistrate.

So he took his master and a guard with him to take up the post.

He was born in a poor family, and he was able to pass the imperial examination before, relying entirely on his talent and hard work.

In addition, he became the son-in-law of a retired official.

But his father-in-law also had a son, and he didn't give him much financial support.

He was very worthy of him by covering the expenses of his going to Beijing to take the exam and the expenses of handling.

He borrowed the money for the post from "Youjian Money House".

Lending to feudal officials and sending masters and guards to supervise the collection of debts in real time. It can be said that the money houses of the ancients were sometimes even better than modern banks in risk control.

If they really followed the ancients' set of methods, I believe that many simple bad debts would not appear.

Because you can tell as long as you send someone in to take a look.

The master was responsible for finding money for him, and the guard was responsible for guarding the money, and they also had the function of mutual supervision.

Of course, the two could easily collude with each other and collect far more money than Liu Xing'an borrowed.

As for the excess, it naturally fell into their pockets.

The bank only collected the money it should collect, so the two were very motivated.

Soon they came to this small mountain town.

After arriving, the three were dumbfounded.

Because the chief clerk at the time told them: "Old parents, the tax revenue of our city has been collected for fifty years."

"The people also believed in evil things before, and sold their property and turned it into incense burning."

"The local industry is farming, textiles, and incense making. Apart from this, all industries are withered." The chief clerk sighed.

"It's really outrageous. It's really a group of evil things that make the people restless and only know to kowtow and burn incense!" The same Jinshi was very angry.

Although he wanted to scrape the land.

But how can he scrape the land if the land is gone?

And he was a first-time seventh-rank county magistrate, and he had no one in his hands.

It is very difficult to plunder by force.

The lawyer looked around and called the chief clerk aside.

He took out a small piece of silver, about three coins, and handed it to the other party.

The chief clerk showed contempt in his eyes, but said: "Master, you can ask if you have anything, and you don't need to spend money."

"Are there any powerful people in the local area?" The lawyer asked directly, "Our master wants to visit one or two."

"As for powerful people, there are none in the local area. After all, everyone is poor." The chief clerk put the silver into his sleeve pocket.

The sleeves are big and have bags sewn on them. When collecting money, everyone is a magician.

"Are there any rich families in the local area?"

"There are none of them."

"You can have this one."

"I really don't have this one."

The chief clerk was tired of arguing with the lawyer.

These three poor ghosts who don't know what they are, wouldn't it be better for them to stay here for three years and then be transferred?

You still want to plunder, don't you see where this place is?

There are mountains everywhere, and the people will flee into the mountains when they are forced.

Once the court sends people to check the household registration, it will be a troublesome matter to cover it up.

After all, the court now is different from the previous Ming Dynasty.

The court now has too many new things.

You can know the number of households and the number of fields by taking a picture from the sky.

You can't hide it even if you want to.

The chief clerk was also very angry. Why do you have so many new things?

Wasn't the previous one good?

Now he has to be restrained in everything he does.

And this fellow Jinshi and the teacher are also greedy and stupid. They don't even look at the time now.

Do you still think it's the previous dynasty?

The chief clerk finally made an excuse to prepare dinner for everyone, and then left in a hurry.

Liu Xingan sighed, sitting in the shabby government office with drafts on all sides, and said to the lawyer:

"What should I do?"

The lawyer was confident: "Master, the debt you owe has been settled."

"Where is it?"

"It's with the chief clerk. I tried it with three taels of silver just now, but he was full of disdain."

"This shows that he has at least a hundred taels of wealth, or even more."

Liu Xingan was immediately overjoyed: "That's great. I only borrowed two hundred taels from your bank when I came here."

"Return 250 taels by the end of the year, and you can pay it back now."

The lawyer continued, "But it's not easy to get the chief clerk to pay. I've read stories from the previous dynasties. In a remote place like this, killing a county magistrate is a piece of cake."

"Just report that he fell and died while out."

"Unless the court is in a prosperous period, it will only perfunctorily check."

"What should we do then?"

"So we have to take the initiative to create a situation where the master needs to play a role."

"How should we create it?" Liu Xing'an suddenly became interested.

"Master, please allow me to introduce you to the real owner of our bank." The lawyer smiled slightly and took out a Western jade Buddha from his sleeve.

"What is this? It looks very valuable. Are you going to sell it to the chief clerk?" Liu Xing'an could only think of this.

"Haha, of course not, but to let them worship this foreign Buddha. By then, they will have support and a future, and we will have money and the present." The lawyer said with a smile.

"High, really high." Liu Xing'an immediately understood how the master did it.

Although he also felt that the master was taking the wrong path and there would be big problems.

But the problem is that there is money in doing this.

That's fine.

So the three of them discussed it.

In this way, traces of Cthulhu appeared in this mountain city.

And Wen Rensheng saw this scene.

He looked at the master.

The phantom of the faceless mad god appeared behind him.

It was as expected.

The five lucky monster hunters thought they had succeeded in killing people with borrowed knives.

But they never thought that what they did was just to attract a bigger monster.

...

Two years later, on this day.

In the early morning, the mountain city was shrouded in a thick fog. The sunlight could not penetrate this thick barrier, and the whole town looked particularly gloomy.

The residents walked out of their homes one after another, and they were ready to start a day's work.

Of course, before working, they went to a small temple at the corner of the street one by one to worship the foreign Bodhisattva there.

Not to mention, since the addition of this foreign Buddha, their barren mountain land has also begun to harvest.

This place is originally a humid and hot place, and it can produce three or four crops a year.

It's just because the mountain has no nutrients and there is a lot of rain.

More rain is not good for agriculture, because it is easy to wash away precious fertility.

The tropical rainforest looks lush, but in fact the soil is very poor.

And now, their mountain land can produce two stones of grain per mu, which is 240 kilograms.

This number was very impressive in the feudal era.

Of course, it can't be compared with people outside.

It is said that people outside use the good seeds and fertilizers issued by the emperor to produce 2,000 kilograms per mu, which is simply scary.

They are already very satisfied, so they are very grateful to the new old parents.

Every time they burn incense to the foreign Buddha, they don't forget to burn a stick of incense to the old parents.

...

At this time, the old parents of the residents, the county magistrate Liu Xingan, were counting silver in the backyard.

The error-free version is available at 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publish a novel. 69 book bar read

These are all sent by residents.

In the past two years, grain has been harvested every year, and so have various specialty fruits.

So the residents have money and started to offer, and finally the money came to him.

But as he counted the money, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He soon discovered that there was a strange smell in the air.

It was as if a rotten corpse and wet soil were mixed together, which was disgusting.

Liu Xingan thought about it and suddenly realized:

"No wonder the saint said that copper stinks, it really stinks!"

Then he picked up the silver again: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Just let me stink!"

...

At this time.

On the street, several crows circled in the air, making a harsh cry.

Suddenly, a crow fell from the sky, fell heavily to the ground, twitched a few times and stopped moving.

The old people who saw this scene looked at each other in bewilderment.

An ominous premonition surged in their hearts.

It seemed that similar things had happened when they believed in those monsters.

Not long after, the sky suddenly became dark, with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

Lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the mountain city.

Not long after, accompanied by lightning, a huge crack appeared on the ground, and black smoke came out of the crack, mixed with strange whispers.

The residents retreated in fear, with terrified expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, a slimy monster crawled out of the crack.

Its body was dark black, covered with eyes and tentacles.

And there were three flowers on its head, with five large tentacles.

What a three-flower gathering, five-qi gathering.

The appearance of this monster caused panic among the residents.

They screamed and fled in all directions.

On the street, people pushed and shoved, fell to the ground, and trampled on each other.

Some residents tried to hide in their homes, but the monster's tentacles had already reached their windows and dragged them out of the house.

The master was drinking spicy soup at this time, and by the way, he calculated how much money he had recovered.

Thanks to the power of the foreign Bodhisattva, he had already recovered the money put in by the boss in advance, and he also took nearly 50%.

If it weren't for the guards, he would have taken as much money as the boss.

This is why the county magistrate is better off managing now.

But as he was drinking, the ground suddenly shook and his soup spilled all over the floor.

"What happened?"

Then he was horrified to see a huge monster wreaking havoc in the town, its tentacles waving, piercing the roofs of houses and smashing the walls.

It moved quickly on the street, leaving deep footprints with every step.

The road surface made of rock was crushed by it.

The monster also let out a low roar, as if venting endless anger.

Two words could be vaguely heard: "Nai, Ya..."

Isn't that the name of his boss?

Wait, how could such a monster appear?

He just wanted to worship the Buddha and the real dragon, but he never thought that the real dragon would appear in the world!

He was "Ye Gonghaolong".

And now, it was obvious that order was about to collapse.

The master immediately went to find the guard who was sleeping in a certain building.

"Old Zhang, run away!"

"What happened?" Guard Zhang hurriedly put on his clothes and looked outside:

"Fuck..."

He couldn't believe his eyes.

But years of walking made him react quickly.

No matter how dangerous the monster was, it was important to run away.

He then took the master and some dry food.

As for the valuables, they were all carried with them.

The silver was too heavy, and they had exported the silver to the outside world in two years and exchanged it for silver notes.

In fact, at this point, their money had already been in the hands of the boss.

The silver notes given to them by the boss were not general ones, but specially printed.

There were debt repayment amounts on them.

Taking one meant paying off a sum, and it could not be exchanged again.

Only if it exceeded the limit could it be exchanged.

The order of the mountain city really collapsed in an instant.

What shocked the master and the guard was that there were still some yamen runners and clerks trying to maintain order.

"Fuck, if they don't run, why do they have to stay and face this sudden monster?" The guard felt incredible.

He led the master to run out of the city.

Those people bought him time.

This made him want to say that the other party was stupid, but he couldn't say it.

"Their weapons are useless!" The master knew why.

This was all the blessing of the emperor's previous promotion of education.

Let the clerks and yamen runners also have channels for promotion and be respected.

Obviously these people should want to make meritorious deeds, or simply want to protect their fellow villagers and families.

In any case, they are all warriors.

Although the master is greedy, he still admires warriors.

I saw the yamen runners stabbing the monster with a spear.

But the sharp steel spearhead only left some shallow marks on the monster's body and could not cause fatal damage to it.

And it slipped away just after it was inserted.

Another team of soldiers tried to attack the monster with arrows.

But the monster's tentacles easily bounced the arrows and knocked the soldiers away.

At this time, facing the invasion of the monster, in the chaos, there were still some brave residents who took up weapons and tried to resist the monster's attack.

They shot at the monster with hunting bows and even earthen firearms, and stabbed the monster with spears.

But the monster was too powerful, and their attacks were just tickling.

The monster's tentacles rolled them up, threw them to the ground, and tore their bodies apart.

Not only that, as time went by, the monster with three flowers and five spirits killed more people, and it began to summon its kind.

More monsters kept crawling out of the crack.

They had different shapes, some like spiders, some like octopuses, and some like centipedes.

These monsters were the three killed by the faceless mad god.

"They are here!"

"The Lord has come again!"

The people of the mountain city were shocked by these familiar scenes.
