Chapter 111 Unexpected Disaster
Chen Shicheng turned around and looked back, then waved.
Zhao Dongyang was always thinking about how to explain to the county guard tomorrow. It was not until the bodyguard behind him touched him that he realized what he was doing. He quickly calmed down his expression and trotted to Chen Shicheng. .
"Senior, what are your orders?"
"Your name is Zhao Dongyang, right? What happened in the city? Why are there people wearing sackcloth and mourning everywhere along the way?" ?”
“Senior, I don’t know.” Zhao Dongyang looked around and whispered in front of Chen Shicheng, “Recently, there have been demons in the city who specialize in eating human flesh and blood. Is it related to the demon you killed? "
"You don't care about it? There are also practitioners. I remember there are many horse immortals here. Why is no one here to solve this problem?" Chen Shicheng glanced at Fourth Master Hui and asked specifically.
"Why didn't the county guard take care of it? A few thieves were beheaded a few days ago to appease people's hearts, but the cannibalism incident not only did not subside, but became more and more serious."
Zhao Dongyang shook his head with disdain. He shook his head, then recalled a little, and said, "As for the Chuma Fairy you mentioned, there were many when I was young, but I haven't heard of it in recent years."
"Really."
Chen Shicheng nodded thoughtfully.
The Zhao Dongyang in front of me often works as a escort, and his appearance is much older than his actual age. However, even if we estimate a little, it must be at least 20 years since he was a child.
In other words, while Fourth Master Hui was concentrating on dealing with the Immortal-Slaying Formation, something happened in his hometown.
If you think at best, it may be because you have moved, but at worst, things are really serious!
After bidding farewell to Zhao Dongyang, Chen Shicheng found the inn in Huanglong County after smelling the smell, casually asked for a room and moved in.
"Boy, don't move around here. I'll go out and get some information and I'll be back soon."
As soon as he closed the door, Fourth Master Hui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Do you need my help?" Chen Shicheng would not let go of this opportunity to be kind and was eager to give it a try.
"No, I am more familiar with this place than you are, and it is more convenient to go alone."
After speaking, Fourth Master Hui directly activated the five ghosts to move and disappeared into the room.
Chen Shicheng didn't care about this. After all, no matter what happened here, Fourth Master Hui's current state could only be about getting some information. If he wanted to solve it, he still had to rely on himself.
But what he didn't expect was that Fourth Master Hui would be gone for a whole day.
At night, Huanglong County City is bustling with people, even more lively than during the day.
Of course, the nightlife here is not very rich. When the sky just darkens, the streets have become deserted, and the paper money on the ground makes the place look like a ghost.
The people below are a large group of people organized by the county magistrate's office. They are holding torches to inspect the long street. The blazing flames are connected in a line, like a dragon swimming around the streets and alleys.
Chen Shicheng and La Tiao stood in front of the window and watched for a long time. Not only did they not see Fourth Master Hui, they also didn't see the so-called demonic cannibal. They simply fell asleep in the middle of the night.
As for offline?
Stop making trouble, you spent points to buy Bigu Pill just to stay in the game for a long time.
The next morning.
The sleeping Chen Shicheng was awakened by a burst of noise. The first time he opened his eyes, he looked for Fourth Master Hui in the room, but found nothing.
When he got dressed and walked out of the room, the scene in front of him stunned him.
I saw Zhao Dongyang kneeling at the door of the inn, his clothes all wet with morning dew. He was surrounded by passers-by, pointing and pointing with sympathy on their faces.
In front of him, on a piece of white cloth spread flat on the ground, there was a finger. Judging from the size, it should be on a child's hand.
The moment Chen Shicheng walked out of the room, the whispers in the inn yard stopped abruptly.
Zhao Dongyang, who was kneeling on the ground, also felt something, and raised his head stiffly.
The moment he looked at him, Chen Shicheng was also shocked.
Although Zhao Dongyang's strength is not very high, his dark skin and strong muscles give people an inexplicable sense of security. Everyone will call him an iron man wherever he goes.
But now, his lips are pale and his face is bloodless, and his straight eyes are bloodshot and lifeless, looking like a walking corpse.
It wasn’t until he looked at Chen Shicheng that he suddenly became excited, regained a third of his popularity, and his eyes lit up.
"Senior! Zhao's family was in trouble. His youngest son was killed by a ghost last night. After a certain person rushed in, he only snatched back one of his fingers. Zhao Yuan spent all his family wealth and only asked senior to make the decision for my son. Revenge!”
Zhao Dongyang had a sad tone and kept kowtowing. Blood spattered visible to the naked eye, and his forehead became bloody.
[Discovery Mission: Revenge]
[Mission Introduction: Zhao Dongyang, the bodyguard leader who had a relationship with you, his youngest son was killed last night. I hope you can kill the soul-possessed zombie who committed the crime. Do you accept revenge for him? 】
[Task reward: 13 gold, 155 silver and 395 copper. 】The people in the inn courtyard also looked frightened and sighed when they heard this.
“It’s really a demon causing trouble. Those people the county guard killed.”
“We can’t stay in this city anymore. I think it’s better to go stay with relatives first. Take shelter for a few days."
"It was the youngest son of the Zhao family who was killed. How pitiful."
"I have seen that child. He was very cute. How could he be killed? It’s a pity that the demon is targeting him.”
Chen Shicheng looked at Zhao Dongyang who kept kowtowing and listened to the comments of the people around him, feeling a little dumbfounded for a moment.
Although the mission reward is not very attractive, more than ten gold is not a small amount. It is estimated to be all Zhao Dongyang's possessions after selling his wealth.
If he were at the scene like yesterday, he wouldn't mind killing the rogue and avenging Zhao Dongyang.
The problem is that the evil ghost who committed the crime has gone to nowhere now. If you want to find it, you have to wait and wait like the people patrolling the streets last night.
But the purpose of his coming here is to let Fourth Master Hui return to his roots. There is no time to waste on patrolling.
Chen Shicheng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but just as he was thinking of excuses, there was a sudden burst of footsteps outside the yard.
Looking up, I saw more than ten Taoist monks filing in under the leadership of the government officials.
As soon as these people came in, their eyes fell on the severed finger in front of Zhao Dongyang. Their expressions instantly became serious, and some even wanted to step forward to check.
“I dare to ask you, sir, what’s the matter with such a large-scale mobilization of troops?”
In the crowd, the escort who accompanied Zhao Dongyang quickly stepped forward to stop him, with a respectful tone. asked.
"Master Liu, we heard that Mr. Zhao met the man-eating monster last night. Is this true?" A leading officer stood up and asked with a sympathetic tone.
"Hey, it's true. It's such a sudden disaster. The youngest son of escort leader Zhao died because of it last night. He only got back a severed finger." Escort Master Liu said with sadness.
At this time, the Taoist monk brought by the government officials had already passed the two of them and came to Zhao Dongyang. He ignored the sufferer who was kowtowing and looked at the severed finger with a changing expression.
"The wounds are jagged, and there is still ghost energy left. It seems that it is not a crime committed by monsters, but mostly ghosts."
"Huh, I told you before, this is a crime committed by ghosts, otherwise How can we not trace any traces?"
Several Taoist priests discussed it for a while and came to a conclusion. Then one of the monks asked Zhao Dongyang, "Amitabha, dare I ask Donor Zhao? Did you see the ghost clearly last night?"
Zhao Dongyang didn't seem to hear anything and didn't react at all. He just stared at Chen Shicheng with a pleading face.
Although he was extremely sad, he had not yet reached the point where he had to resort to medical treatment for his illness. Demons and ghosts had been eating people for a long time. If these "experts" invited by the county guard were really capable of catching the murderer, , how could he let his youngest son be killed?
Yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that Chen Shicheng killed the rogue who had left them helpless with one blow. He still knew clearly who the true god was.
Seeing this, Bouncer Liu, who was building friendship with the Yamen servant, hurriedly stepped forward and patted Zhao Dongyang on the shoulder, "Bouncer Zhao, Master is asking you something. Please explain the situation clearly. How many of you are here?" The Taoist priests and masters will definitely be able to make the decision for you."
While he was speaking, several Taoist priests and mages present also nodded secretly, pretending to be worldly masters.
However, Zhao Dongyang seemed to have not seen it, and smiled miserably, "How long have monsters been eating people in Huanglong County? These so-called experts have never even seen the appearance of monsters, and they still want to ask me for confirmation, how to subjugate monsters?" Demon? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole courtyard was in an uproar!
Everyone present looked at these Taoist priests and monks in a wrong way.
Isn’t it?
If these experts were really capable, they would have eliminated the troublesome monsters long ago. Why wait until now?
Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, one of the Taoist priests suddenly became furious, "How dare you say such arrogant words, you unruly people? If we hadn't been tracking them day and night, how could we have killed only these people in the county?" , the city has been massacred by ghosts a long time ago. I will spare you this time because your youngest son just died. If you dare to speak out loud again, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Hearing this, Zhao Dongyang showed a self-deprecating smile, and then Once he kowtowed to Chen Shicheng and said, "Senior, Zhao knows that you have the ability to reach heaven. I don't ask you to kill the tiger demon, but I only ask you to help my youngest son get revenge. I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you!"
< br>As soon as his words came out, everyone looked at Chen Shicheng with a look of surprise on his face.
But the expressions of those Taoist monks changed greatly, and they looked at Chen Shicheng with unkind expressions on their faces, "Junior, there are some things that you can't interfere with. Maybe there is still some friendship between me and your master, tell me. , Which family are you a disciple of? "
"?
Chen Shicheng was stunned.
In terms of sect, he can be regarded as an outstanding graduate of XX University in C City. Although he cannot be compared with the true disciples of Ph.D., he can still be regarded as an inner disciple.
What?
Are you a professor at another university?
Do you want me to bring out the original instructor and start a friendship with you?
