Chapter 221 First Arriving at the Mystery
"Ah Huang, that guy Min Zangzhi is going to marry Sister Chu You."
Zhou Zhao changed into a free green regular dress, holding a piece of jerky meat from the elder sister in his mouth, and looked at the hat beside him with a sourness.
Liu Huang nodded softly, "Yes. When we come back, we will put a sack on him and beat him?"
Zhou Zhao was stunned and laughed out loud.
"If he treats Sister Chu You badly, let's teach him a lesson."
Liu Huang shook his head unhappily, "She has been married to Brother Yan, how can she still marry someone else? No matter how good that person is, he is not as good as Brother Yan. Brother Yan is the best."
Zhou Zhao stretched out his hand and knocked on Liu Huang's hat, "Who asked me to marry someone else when Su Changying had no news? How could I bear to let Sister Chu You die alone? He will definitely be very happy. Sister Chu You finally came out."
Liu Huang was stunned. After a while, he muttered, "You are different. I will never forget Brother Yan anyway, and I have no other brothers."
He said, adding, "That Zhou Chengan is not your brother either."
Zhou Zhao was moved and amused when he heard Liu Huang's words, "Well, the prince's contemporary king heard it, it's time to beat you up."
Liu Huang disagreed, "They won't beat me up."
Not only did he not beat him up, he used to be stranger, but his brothers were not close to him. Now that he has done coroner, they will not get close to him.
But he didn't care at all.
While speaking, the two of them went up to the flat official road. Zhou Zhao glanced at Liu Huang, and they both raised their whips at the same time, riding their horses and galloped directly towards Nanyang.
...
The Mysterious City is a small city. It looks less powerful than Tianying City. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and almost one-third of the city is covered with lakes.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhou Zhao couldn't help but touch his hair, with a layer of small water droplets covering his head. It was obviously not raining, but he felt like he was wet.
"A noble man, you need someone to guide you. The youngest person is called Monkey, who is a maze. Not only is there fog in this maze, but the road is still winding, and it is most likely to get lost. I only have three big children to take you around for a day. I know where the clouds and fog are."
Zhou Zhaoxun looked over and saw a child about twelve or thirteen years old. He was particularly thin and had a pair of clever eyes.
"Where is the Big Banyan Tree Inn? Please lead us over. If you have any new things in the city, please tell me."
Zhou Zhao said, took out five cents from his sleeve bag and handed them to the child named Monkey.
The monkey's eyes lit up and he bowed to Zhou Zhao, "Thank you, nobleman."
"The Big Banyan Tree Inn is also called Ping'an Inn. There is a banyan tree planted in front of the gate. It is not far from here. It is one of the few best places in the city. A big incident happened in the city recently. A batch of goods was robbed. In the past two days, many officers and soldiers came to the city.
The leading military master was born like an immortal from the sky. He heard that he was a general from Chang'an City. He heard that the county magistrate's daughter wanted to marry him. He was scared to death by him at a glance. He had a high fever that night and even changed into a shroud. Fortunately, he came back alive.
The county magistrate dared not cause trouble anymore and wanted to marry his daughter out as soon as possible. Isn’t this throwing a ball in the city to attract brides? ”
Zhou Zhao listened, speechless.
The fairy-like military master in the monkey's mouth, bah! This child didn’t even think about it. Can the immortal and the military master be the same person?
Could it be Su Changying, the one he was talking about? It took only a long time since the trouble was caused.
Zhou Zhao thought, and snorted coldly in his heart. Seeing her look unwilling, the monkey thought she didn't like to listen to this. His eyes rolled and he said tentatively, "The mist city is coming again in the fog season. Maybe there will be a fog ghost hidden. Pull people back into their nests. Be careful. It is best to buy an evil-proof bead. The fog ghost will be a little afraid of wearing it on it."
Zhou Zhao suddenly became interested, "Evil-Breaking Pearl? Where can I sell it?"
The monkey's eyes lit up, "There is Duobao Pavilion, just opposite the Big Banyan Tree Inn, not far ahead."
Duobao Pavilion!
Zhou Zhao followed the monkey around and finally embarked on a wider road. There were shops on both sides of it, and wine flags picked out everywhere in the hazy place, and a huge banyan tree that could be seen as long as it was not a blind man.
Zhou Zhao glanced at the banyan tree and led the horse into the Duobao Pavilion.
"Shopkeeper, the noble man wants to ward off evil spirits."
The monkey took the lead and entered the shop. He said to the shopkeeper with a familiarity. Obviously, he led the customers to buy the evil-proof beads, and the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion would benefit him.
The shopkeeper was a fat, white and middle-aged man in his thirties. He was holding a small abacus in his hand and was pounding. Seeing Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang dressed very well, he had a smile on his face and took a tray from the bottom of the counter. There were brocades in the tray, and three different beads were placed on the brocades.
The first one is an ordinary one, which looks like a polished and smooth blue round stone.
The second type is a green jade bead, which can be hung around the waist with a rope and tassel.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The third type is also a green jade bead, but the bead has been carved on the surface, looking like a mirage in the clouds, like the legendary Penglai Immortal Island.
"Celebrity, there are three types of evil-proof beads. Do you think of which one do you like?"
Zhou Zhao threw the money bag on the counter, "I need one of three types. What are your evil-proof beads? What are the fog ghosts in the fog?"
Zhou Zhao's eyes were clear and stupid, and he saw that he was the little girl from Chang'an City.
There are many such people who are confused by the clouds and mists.
The shopkeeper smiled, opened the money, took the money himself, and explained patiently, "The locals say so, and people are missing in the fog every year. As for what the Evil-Breaking Pearl is made, it is a secret recipe. Please forgive me for being inconvenient to say it."
Zhou Zhao took the three evil-proof beads and handed them to Liu Huang. He put the wallet on him. He did not continue to ask questions, but continued to go to the inn opposite him and asked for two adjacent rooms for himself and Liu Huang.
Then I found a corner in the lobby and sat down and ordered a few dishes at will.
"There have been a fog ghost these two days. Is anyone missing in the city?"
Zhou Zhao handed the monkey a big meat pie. The monkey swallowed and reluctantly stuffed the meat pie into his arms. He scratched his head embarrassedly, "I want to take it back for my grandmother and sister. There is still one in the past two days. I have heard people say it, I don't know if it is true or not.
He was said to be a passing scholar, and a cloud of blood fog rose up and was captured. Someone picked up his book basket, and the things inside were divided. Unfortunately, he didn't buy the evil-proof bead, so he would suffer. ”
Zhou Zhao was curious and wanted to continue asking questions, but he heard a familiar voice "Sister Zhao" coming from the door!
Zhou Zhao looked over and saw that the gate of the inn was blocked by six people.
Living and dead, Tao Shangshan Tao Tingshi, Chen Jiyuan carrying a bag with a large package, the other four were Jingyi and He Tingshi, and there was also a young young man carrying a luggage who could not be named. Like Chen Jiyuan, he was also a minor official in Tingwei Temple.
In addition, there was an old man wearing a cloth clothes and carrying a box, which looked like a coroner.
All the people in the competition arrived.
