The years when I explored the fairyland
Chapter 53 52: Promise, Arrangement
Xuanzhen concept,
In the living room.
As soon as Chu Zhou entered the hall, he saw a black shadow coming towards him. He almost instinctively wanted to kick him out, but his keen senses allowed him to distinguish the person. At the last moment, he stopped his strength and changed to Support with both hands.
He saw a short, fat man throwing himself in front of Chu Zhou, leaning forward and about to kneel to the ground.
After being supported by Chu Zhou, he even heard him shouting with snot and tears: "Master Chu, Master Chu, you must save me this time!"
Chu Zhou lowered his head slightly and could see the true feelings of the man crying. There was only a slit left in his eyes covered with fat, and everything was pitch black.
There are even more white hairs on the hair, which are mixed with black and white. The weight of 300 kilograms is not too tall for the body, but the height and width are really the same, like a meat ball.
That's right, this is Zhao, a member of the Zhao family in Baisha City. He is nearly sixty years old. He comes from a wealthy family. He has just filled the position of 'county prime minister' and has become the faction of the county magistrate. That is rich and powerful!
"Mr. Zhao, Member Zhao, if we have something to say, let's talk it over. Can you stand up first?"
The young member outside Zhao squeezed his eyes and wanted to kneel down without shame, but was held up by Chu Zhou and was unable to kneel down.
He stood up angrily, but his posture did not change at all, and he said sadly: "Taoist Master Chu, please save my Zhao family again this time."
"Mr. Chu, you should do your best wherever you can. Prime Minister Zhao, please don't behave like this. Let's talk properly!"
As Chu Zhou spoke, he moved forward. The fat man, who weighed more than 300 kilograms, was lifted up by him. He moved forward and pressed him down on the chair.
Turning his head, he said: "Uncle Fan, serve tea."
"Come here!"
Fan Zhong was obviously prepared for it. He changed a new cup of tea for Mr. Zhao and offered another one to Chu Zhou.
The two sides sat down and it was time for another round.
This time, Chu Zhou spoke first: "Is Zhao County Cheng here here because of the one-horned ghost?"
Member Zhao squeezed his beard eyes again and said in a daze: "You, you know everything?"
"How many secrets can there be in Baisha City?"
"Yes, you said so!"
When Zhao Yuanwai said this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I know that my request is somewhat unkind. The old Taoist priest Xuanzhen died because of this before, so I shouldn't bother him with this matter again.
But when it comes to this kind of thing, I really don’t know who to turn to?
In the entire Baisha City, Xuanzhen Guan has been deeply studied in this area and has the power to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. I can only shamelessly ask for help. "
As he said this, he seemed to be afraid that Chu Zhou would disagree. He immediately waved his hand and saw a servant carrying a box walking in from the door. The box fell to the ground with a bang, and dust was thrown up, which showed its weight.
When the box was opened, white silver came into view. It was actually full of silver ingots, arranged neatly.
"This is a thousand taels of silver. Although it's not much, it's just a deposit.
If Taoist Master Chu solves the problem of the one-horned ghost, I will also give you three thousand taels of tattooed silver, five books of low-grade exercises, and one book of medium-grade martial arts as a reward! "
After a pause, he continued: "Taoist Master, please rest assured, martial arts are all different, and I will never fool you with what the Xue family has gained. As for the middle-grade martial arts, although there is no way to open the meridians, it is definitely A treasure among middle-grade martial arts.”
Well, in order to save his life, Zhao Yuanwai was really bleeding profusely, and he was given four thousand taels of silver, which was a treatment that even Xuan Zhen, an old man, did not have.
But this is why Chu Zhou is not in a hurry!
Because the whole Baisha City was looking for an 'expert' in catching ghosts, and it was none other than Xuan Zhen Guan, and Zhao Yuanwai could only ask for his help.
And Chu Zhou agreed simply: "Since Zhao Xiancheng is so sincere, then I, Xuan Zhen Guan, will agree to this matter."
"Click..., yes, yes?"
Zhao Xiancheng blinked his little eyes again, finally reacted, and said with a smile: "Taoist Priest, are you agreeing?"
"That one-horned ghost has a grudge against me for killing my master. It's okay if I can't find him. If he comes looking for me again, I won't let him go.
Besides, I am also moved by the large sum of money offered by Zhao Xiancheng! "
"That's good, that's good, but I don't know when the director will leave?"
"Is Zhao County Cheng in a hurry?"
"Of course it's urgent, it's very urgent. I can't even sleep with such a big evil ghost in my house!! Look at the dark bags under my eyes. Do you know how many days I haven't had a good night's sleep?"
"Then change to another residence. Mr. Zhao doesn't lack a house anyway."
"You think I didn't change it, otherwise it wouldn't just be dark circles under my eyes, but my life..."
Ahem, so what, Master Chu can’t be faster? "
"As you know, that one-horned ghost is extraordinary. If I want to catch him, I have to make some preparations, so it will take some time."
Seeing that Zhao Xian Cheng was anxious, Chu Zhou said again: "Of course, it won't be long.
Except for Zhao, this is not my fault. My master has already fallen into the trap of the one-horned ghost, so I have to be extremely careful. "
"Then, how many days will it take?"
"It can take as short as one or two days, or as long as three to five days. I will definitely go to Zhao Mansion."
"Okay, okay, three to five days, I can wait, then that's it, it's agreed."
Master Zhao left, and the 300-pound fat man, with his two short legs alternating rapidly, actually stepped out of the afterimage, which was not much worse than Qinggong.
It's just that the figure is somewhat embarrassed.
Chu Zhou, on the other hand, was sitting there, sipping tea and wondering what he was thinking.
Xu Cheng and other fellow apprentices came out from behind. As they walked, Yi Huai shouted: "This is Mr. Zhao, a wealthy businessman in Baisha City. Why do you look so shameless?"
Wei Fangjie laughed when he heard it and couldn't help but said: "What Third Senior Brother said is really on point. Mr. Zhao's son-in-law was born, he started from scratch, and gradually rose to the position of county magistrate. He already has the title of 'Zhao Bancheng' .
But what he is most famous for is his ability to show off his face.
Even though he is over fifty and has become a county magistrate, as long as it is beneficial to him, even if it is to play tricks, kneel down and kowtow, he is really shameless! "
Chu Zhou shook his head: "It's just a disguise. If you really think he is a loser, then you will be the only one unlucky in the end."
"Is today's panic just an act? I can't see it, right?"
Xu Cheng muttered, leaving Chu Zhou speechless, but after thinking about it, he still agreed: "Okay, I guess I was really scared this time.
Everyone has to be afraid of evil ghosts and innocent souls!
This is this guy. I guess he has done a lot of bad things before, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened. "
After a pause, he raised his head, looked around, and said: "Since I agreed, I have to do this ghost hunting thing beautifully.
However, before that, some preparation is indispensable. "
"Xu Cheng!"
"Elder brother, I'm here!"
"You go to the Sihai Gang to find Master Zou and bring him a letter for me. Then, you and Yi Huai stay there. If there is any news, report it to me immediately."
"yes!"
"Fan Zhong..."
"The old slave is here."
"Just go to Baisha City to inspect the shops, and in the name of Xuanzhen Temple, help me find out the information.
Tiehu, you go with your father. "
"Guanzhu, what do you want specifically?"
"About the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao's second daughter, or the latest news in Baisha City."
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
Wei Fangjie hurriedly said: "Elder brother, what about me? You can't just leave me alone, can you?"
"Idle, you have a beautiful idea! Go back to the Iron Gun Martial Arts School and find your father. I saw many martial arts people entering the city today, and I always feel that something big has happened that you and I don't know about.
So, you go first and let me know if you have any news. "
"Come on, senior brother, just wait for the news."
As he said this, Wei Fangjie was a little confused again and said: "No, senior brother, aren't we talking about catching ghosts in the Zhao family? Why are we all collecting information?"
Chu Zhou finally put down the tea cup, looked at his brothers again, and said, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that the one-horned ghost who killed Master was actually a human being!"
"What?" Everyone exclaimed:
Chu Zhou said quietly: "So, what happened to the Zhao family is not a ghost problem, but a man-made disaster. Is it because we don't know the specific details?"
After a pause, he shook his head again and said: "No matter what, I have decided to take the head of this one-horned ghost."
…
night,
Zhao Mansion,
Under the red silk tent, candlelight flickered, a woman sat in front of the dressing table, holding her hair lightly in one hand and combing it casually in the other.
Even if the lights are dim, what is reflected in the mirror is a slender figure, wearing a tulle dress that outlines a graceful figure. Her face is blushing, her eyes are flowing, and her every frown and smile has a soul-stirring charm.
However, at this time, she was dressing in the mirror, with a bit of resentment, a bit of self-pity, and a bit of worry in her eyes. She actually added a bit of charm, making people couldn't help but hug her. Take good care of it.
For a moment, there was a wind blowing, the candle flames swayed, and the light in the room flickered on and off. After a while, it returned to normal again.
But at this moment, in addition to the graceful woman, there was another figure reflected in the mirror.
It was an ape-like monster, walking upright, two meters away, with a single horn on its head, glowing with cold light, staring at the slim woman in the mirror.
A pair of scarlet eyes revealed obsession, greed, desire, and pain.
scare!
His sudden appearance made the woman jump in shock, but the next second, she threw herself into the arms of the horned ghost, sobbing came, and a female voice sounded intermittently:
"You're here, you're finally here, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
"When did we end up being like this? If my father knew the truth, he wouldn't know how to blame me."
"We, we shouldn't take such risky actions. I heard that my father went to Xuanzhen Temple again to invite the Taoist priest there."
"I know, I know, you are not afraid of them, but I don't want, I don't want you to kill anyone again."
The woman and the one-horned ghost expressed their feelings to each other, and the scene seemed extremely strange.
What's even weirder is that from beginning to end, the one-horned ghost never said a word, but the woman seemed to be having a conversation with him.
Looking outside the house, into the larger courtyard, it is not difficult to see people lying on the ground.
There were maids, servants, and guards lying on the ground in a mess, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, which made Zhao Mansion even more strange.
…
Sihai Gang, main hall,
Zou Wu read the letter Xu Cheng brought, thought for a moment, and said decisively: "Even if Taoist Master Chu opens his mouth, I will definitely agree to it. You two will stay here first, and I will send someone out to find out the news."
"Then, thank you, Mr. Zou."
…
On the other side, Yuelai Inn, opposite.
In the clothing store, Wei Jinkui led Wei Fangjie to lean against the corner, spying on the situation on the opposite side, his brows furrowed, looking bitter and resentful.
The Yuelai Inn is already full of Jianghu people.
I just got promoted, and the fourth round of recommendations is here. I hope the results will be better...
