Reborn Wild Boar: What's wrong with eating a few single people?

Tianwu City.

At the city gate, a large group of heavily armed Tianwu Guards were sternly checking the people entering and leaving Tianwu City.

These days, Wuwei wears white silver armor, holds a sharp spear, and has a cold expression, like the Great Wall of Steel, which is intimidating.

At this time, a burly Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe, carrying a small wooden box on his back, and holding a white cloth flag came over.

He is tall and strong, with a face that looks very resolute.

This man looked young, probably in his twenties, but his eyes revealed a sense of sophistication, calmness, and a hint of cunning.

"Stop, stop and be interrogated."

A Tianwu guard held the spear in his hand in front of several people entering the city, and shouted sternly.

The sound was like thunder, making people shudder.

This green-robed Taoist priest is none other than Zhu Ganglie, who used the transformation talisman to transform into a human form.

At this moment, he looked at the Tianwu Guards in front of him calmly, without any fear on his face.

"Military lords, has something big happened in this city? Why is the investigation so strict?"

A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman asked while extending his hand to be inspected by Tianwuwei.

There was a trace of curiosity on his face, and he was obviously very confused by this suddenly intensified interrogation.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just stay there when I ask you to undergo the examination. There is no need to talk nonsense."

That day Wu Wei glared at the middle-aged businessman and said coldly.

The tone was full of majesty and left no room for doubt.

One of the Tianwu guards put down the weapon in his hand, reached out and groped the merchant for a while, and interrogated him carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he let him go.

In the crowd, Zhu Ganglie quietly pulled the sleeve of a lean man next to him.

"Brother, what's going on in Tianwu City? What happened? Why do you have to go through Tianwu Guards to interrogate you when entering the city?" Zhu Ganglie lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

The lean man was also an honest man. When Zhu Ganglie asked, he didn't hide anything. He glanced at Tianwuwei who was checking the people entering the city, and quietly pulled Zhu Ganglie aside.

"Little Taoist priest, are you new here! Don't you know about this? There is a commotion in the city now. Although the city lord strictly prohibits the people in the city from publicizing and discussing in private, he can't shut everyone's mouth. Everyone knows it privately. , it’s all spread.”

Zhu Ganglie's eyes flashed with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother has really good eyesight. Pindao has just come down from the mountain not long ago. He has just arrived in Tianwu City and doesn't know much about the things in the city. Please tell me, what happened, is it so serious?"

Zhu Ganglie explained with a smile, and then asked with a puzzled look.

The lean man glanced at Tianwuwei, who was carefully questioning the people entering the city. Seeing that Tianwuwei's attention was not focused on the two of them, he whispered into Zhu Ganglie's ear:

"Little Taoist priest, you don't know something! Recently, an earth-shattering incident occurred in our Tianwu County. It is said that last month, a group of refugees from Black Stone Village were attacked by a monster. That monster actually ate the entire village, and only a few people were lucky enough to escape. It was really miserable.

Originally, the people of Tianwu City were still skeptical about the news, thinking that it might just be a rumor.

However, not long after, Qingniu Village next to Black Stone Village was also attacked by monsters, and very few people escaped this time.

Now, everyone had no choice but to believe it. Privately, there were rumors that monsters were wreaking havoc in our Tianwu County, making the city full of chaos and panic. "

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie's face was slightly shaken, and there was a hint of surprise and panic in his eyes.

"Is there such a thing? That's too scary. Monsters are coming out to eat people these days. The world is too difficult. It's a pity that the innocent villagers died in vain. It's really miserable."

Zhu Ganglie looked sad, showing an expression of lingering fear, and he was lamenting this.

"No! Who can say it's not miserable! There are more than 300 people in the two villages, and almost all of them were eaten by monsters. The whole village was wiped out. I heard that there were mountains of human bones. It's really terrible."

The lean man took over the conversation and echoed.

Zhu Ganglie frowned and sighed: "Oh, what a crime! This monster is too cruel, so many lives are lost..."

He shook his head, his face full of regret and pain.

The lean man said with a sad face: "Yes, these villagers are ordinary people who work hard. They make a living by farming and have never provoked any monsters. However, they have suffered such a bad luck. It is really pitiful."

"Then how did the city lord deal with it? Could it be possible that the demon was allowed to go unpunished and continue to cause trouble in Tianwu County?" Zhu Ganglie's eyes flashed and he asked.

The lean man waved his hands quickly, "Of course not! The city lord will certainly not sit idly by and let the monsters do whatever they want. Half a month ago, Fang Tianba, the city lord's brother-in-law and the commander of the Tianwu Guards, personally led a total of three hundred Tianwu Guards. Go to Black Rock Village to slay the demon, what do you think the result will be?”

Zhu Ganglie's heart tightened and he asked: "What's going on? Could it be that even Commander Fang couldn't destroy the monster? Three hundred Tianwu guards are a lot. Even if the monster has three heads and six arms, it will never be able to stop the three hundred Tianwu guards. Wei’s encirclement and suppression should be taken down!”

The lean man lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Hey, you really guessed wrong! My brother-in-law's brother's sister's distant cousin works in the Tianwu Guards. I heard from him that all the Tianwu Guards led by Commander Fang died. Only Commander Fang and dozens of his guards escaped. Even Commander Fang himself was injured by the monster and had an arm broken. This is inside information that most people don’t know.”

Zhu Ganglie's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Commander Fang is a famous master in our Tianwu County, and he leads the elite Tianwu Guards. How can he not be able to take down a monster? How can a monster be so powerful?"

The lean man shrugged and said helplessly: "Who knows? Maybe the monster is too powerful or has some special means. Anyway, this incident has embarrassed Commander Fang. I heard that he has been behind closed doors since he came back. I don’t know if I was hit.”

Zhu Ganglie nodded thoughtfully and said casually.

"It seems that the strength of this monster cannot be underestimated. Even Commander Fang can't do anything to it. You have to be careful when going out in the future, so as not to accidentally run into this big trouble."

"No, this matter is absolutely true and not a rumor. Therefore, Tianwu City has been conducting very strict inspections recently. You need to identify yourself when entering or exiting, for fear that some monsters will sneak into Tianwu City and cause trouble."

The lean man sighed and explained.

"The Tianwu Guards suffered such heavy losses and lost all their majesty. Could it be that the Lord of the City just let it go? Didn't he think of other ways to eliminate the demon?"

Zhu Ganglie narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to inquire.

"How can we just let this matter go? Little Taoist, you are so simplistic. I heard that the city lord has sent people to the Demon Suppression Division in the capital to ask for help. If someone from the Demon Suppression Division takes action, the evil monster will also It’s the end of my life. The Demon Suppressing Department is a place dedicated to catching monsters. The demon suppressing envoys inside are all highly skilled in martial arts and have great magical powers.”

The lean man spoke slowly.

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Ganglie's eyes, and he was about to continue asking for information about the Suppressing Demon Division, but he did not want to be interrupted by the Tianwu Guards who were investigating in front.

"Hey! What are you two muttering about? Come over quickly and be interrogated. Don't delay other people's time to enter the city."

A Tianwu Guard wearing silver armor yelled at the two people who were talking.

Seeing that Tianwuwei had noticed him, the lean man immediately closed his mouth and trotted over with a flattering smile on his face.

"Master Jun, here we come, here we come."

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie also put away his questioning intentions and prepared to accept the cross-examination honestly.

...

Not long after, it was Zhu Ganglie's turn to queue up for interrogation.

"Name?"

The Tianwu Guard at the city gate looked Zhu Ganglie up and down and asked.

"Zhu Ganglie."

"Where did it come from?" Tianwuwei continued to ask.

"This military master is a Taoist practicing in Yuanqing Temple outside the city."

Although Yuanqing Temple is not a popular temple, people in Tianwu City have basically heard of it and know a little about its name.

Therefore, the Tianwu Guard did not continue the interrogation after Zhu Ganglie revealed his identity.

"It turns out to be the little Taoist Master of Yuan Qingguan, come in!"

The Tianwu Guard waved his hand, signaling the Tianwu Guard behind him to put away his weapons, and immediately released Zhu Ganglie into the city.

"Thank you so much, military masters. You guys have worked so hard. I'll take my leave. I wish these military masters a long life."

Zhu Ganglie smiled and complimented, turned around and walked into Tianwu City.

...

On the road into Tianwu City, there are many shops on both sides, busy with traffic, people coming and going, and it is very lively.

In the corners of the street, there are many vendors from outside the city, shouting and selling various small items.

The array of these little items is dazzling.

Zhu Ganglie used the transformation talisman to transform into a human Taoist priest and walked on the street. He looked at the crowds of people walking on the street, his eyes sparkling, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

The human world is still lively and prosperous. No wonder those monsters are practicing hard and want to transform into humans and come to the human world. It is really charming.

Zhu Ganglie looked around, attracted by the excitement around him.

Suddenly, a scent of fragrance wafted into his nose, making him swallow his saliva.

It turned out to be a restaurant where the food was delicious.

Zhu Ganglie was greedy for a moment and couldn't help but walk into the restaurant next to the street.

"Hey, this Taoist master, you are here! Please come inside."

When the waiter in the restaurant saw Zhu Ganglie walking in, he immediately greeted him with a smile and greeted him warmly.

Zhu Ganglie smiled and nodded, then found an empty seat and sat down.

"Master Taoist, what would you like to eat? Our shop has everything."

The waiter asked while wiping the table.

There was a smile on his face, which made people feel very friendly.

"Bring a cow and a jar of wine!"

Zhu Ganglie blurted out.

Hearing this, the waiter was stunned on the spot, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Ah! This..."

After seeing the waiter's expression, Zhu Ganglie realized that his request might be a bit too much.

"Looking at my mouth, I spoke too quickly. Let me start with ten pounds of beef and a jar of rice wine."

Zhu Ganglie said hurriedly.

Seeing this, the waiter felt normal and subconsciously thought that the man was joking with him!

A cow? A jar of wine, do you think you are a monster? I can eat so much.

"Okay! Master Tao, wait a moment, I will prepare it for you."

The waiter responded, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Within a moment, two large plates of steaming beef and a small jar of rice wine were placed in front of Zhu Ganglie.

"Master Tao, please use it slowly!"

The waiter said politely and turned to greet other diners.

When the wine and meat were served, Zhu Ganglie was not polite. He picked up the plate and ate with great gulps, taking a sip of rice wine from time to time.

I don't know if it was because of his habit of eating raw meat, but Zhu Ganglie always felt that the cooked meat was a bit off, not delicious enough, and difficult to swallow.

In just a moment, Zhu Ganglie swept away the two plates of beef on the table and drank the remaining half of it.

Although I am not very satisfied, I have filled my stomach a little. After eating and drinking, it is time to get down to business.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ganglie got up and walked towards the door.

"Master Taoist, please stay. You haven't settled the bill yet. The total is five taels of silver."

Behind him, the waiter hurriedly chased after him and asked Zhu Ganglie for money.

Hearing this, Zhu Ganglie showed an expression of sudden realization, and almost forgot that he had to pay for meals in the human race.

Zhu Ganglie groped around on his body for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had no money at all.

The waiter at the side immediately understood Zhu Ganglie's actions and seemed to understand something. His enthusiastic face instantly fell down and he said in a sinister tone.

"Master Taoist, you don't want to eat the King's meal, do you? Our small shop doesn't like this. If you can't pay for the food and wine, I will report you to the official and put you in jail."

Zhu Ganglie chuckled.

"Master Dao, how could I miss you a few small coins? Wait a moment."

Zhu Ganglie turned his head, looked around, his eyes swept over the surrounding diners, and finally landed on a rich man wearing gorgeous brocade clothes. The man had a bulging money bag hanging around his waist.

Zhu Ganglie's eyes flashed, and a demonic aura emerged from his fingers. He took the rich man's wallet on the spot, took out five taels of silver and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter Wang took the money with doubtful eyes, and looked at the money bag in Zhu Ganglie's hand that looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it on a diner before, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.

Under the confused gaze of the waiter, Zhu Ganglie smiled slightly, turned around and left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhu Ganglie went directly to Tianwu City's most lively and prosperous central square, found an open space, placed the wooden box on his back in front of him, and planted the white flag in his hand on the ground.

This behavior is very much like a Taoist priest who tells fortunes on the street.

People were coming and going in the streets and squares, and passers-by were very curious about the new and unfamiliar face Zhu Ganglie. They stopped for a moment to take a look when they passed by.

"This benefactor needs to make a fortune and is not allowed to refuse to accept money.

Zhu Ganglie smiled slightly and invited a man passing by.

"You're welcome, young master. I'll just take a look. It doesn't count. It doesn't count."

The man smiled awkwardly and quickened his pace to leave.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie was not discouraged. He sat cross-legged and waited quietly with a calm expression.

Fishing requires some patience, and Zhu Ganglie is no exception. He patiently waits for the fish to take the bait.

The task assigned by Taoist Yuan Yu is to improve the reputation of Yuan Qing Temple, attract more pilgrims to burn incense at Yuan Qing Temple, and increase the popularity of Yuan Qing Temple.

In addition, there is also the search for humans born in Yang time and Yin time. There is no better way to complete these two tasks than to be a magic stick to fool people.

This fortune-telling method can easily obtain other people's birthdays and horoscopes, which is much faster than searching for them one by one on your own.

Half an hour later.

A middle-aged man smelling of alcohol staggered to Zhu Ganglie's stall.

"Little Taoist priest, please help me figure out when I can get rich. If you can't figure it out, I'll destroy your shabby business."

Zhu Ganglie, who was resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the middle-aged man's voice, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This benefactor, please tell me your date of birth, so that I can make some guesses."

Zhu Ganglie said with a smile.

"It's really troublesome. Grandpa, I was born at 3:00 noon. My name is Sun Yang. Let's see what tricks you, a little Taoist priest, can come up with."

The middle-aged man said with a hint of drunkenness, perhaps after drinking a lot of wine.

Hearing that this big man was born at 3:00 noon, Zhu Ganglie's eyes lit up and his mind immediately became active.

Isn't this the Xiaoyang person Taoist Yuan Yu is looking for? I didn't expect to meet this person for the first time when I went out to the stall. It was really unlucky.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ganglie said confidently.

"This donor will make a fortune soon. If you don't believe it, look back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ganglie's hand flashed with demonic light, and a flash of silver light flew out of his hand and rolled down behind Sun Yang.

At this time, the drunkard named Sun Yang turned around and saw a silver ingot behind him.

"silver?"

A glimmer of light flashed through Sun Yang's drunken eyes, and his mind suddenly cleared up. He happily picked up the silver ingot on the ground, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Is there a seal? It's real money.

Sun Yang was overjoyed and put the money on his sleeve and wiped it until it was shiny.

Zhu Ganglie smiled and said nothing, looking calmly at Sun Yang in front of him.

"Little Taoist priest, you are really accurate. You are so accurate. You can calculate all these things. It's really a windfall from heaven. Then are you calculating when will I get rich?"

Sun Yang was obsessed with money and was not satisfied with this small silver ingot at all. He wanted more silver, preferably piled up throughout the house.

Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhu Ganglie's face, and he spoke in a pretentious manner.

"Donor Sun, although you are lucky in wealth, it is not so easy to make a fortune. You need to go to Yuanqing Temple outside the city to burn incense and worship, and make a wish sincerely, so that your wish can come true."

Hearing this, Sun Yang's eyes lit up and his tone was quite excited.

"Little Taoist, are you serious? As long as I go to Yuanqing Temple and make a wish, I can make a fortune?"

Zhu Ganglie nodded gently, with a smile on his face.

"Really, I never lie."

Sun Yang was overjoyed and handed the silver ingot in his hand to Zhu Ganglie generously.

"Little Taoist, this piece of silver is a reward for you. When I go to Yuanqing Temple to make a wish and make a fortune, I will come back to repay your guidance."

Sun Yang thanked excitedly, turned around and left the city impatiently, and disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.

Looking at Sun Yang's back as he left, Zhu Ganglie showed a strange smile on his face, slowly put away the wooden boxes used for the stall, and followed him.

This trip into the city today was not in vain.
