After the middle-aged man separated from the chief, he returned directly to the caravan camp.
He called his confidants.
"Ah Da, go kill someone!"
"Yes! Master!" The man was not surprised when he heard about the murder. He had been doing this for so many years.
Ada quietly walked into Zhang Qingdi's shop at night.
He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
But as soon as he approached the store, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
I am afraid that the unspeakable feeling of oppression comes from those wooden sculptures. He used to be a refugee who had no food to eat. He has understood a truth since he was a child: if he wants to eat well, he must be more ruthless than others.
Later he led a group of refugees to become bandits.
Until he met Wang Shen, Wang Shen killed all his subordinates.
In the end, he didn't kill him, but let himself do things for him.
Ada didn’t know anything about the Qingli Chamber of Commerce. He knew that Wang Shen made him eat well, so it was natural for him to help him kill people.
Ada has killed too many people over the years, so he has no respect for ghosts and gods!
He was not afraid of those guys when they were alive!
What’s more, he’s dead?
As for the gods and Buddhas, they are nothing more than clay and wood statues. If they were really useful, he wouldn't be a refugee anymore.
But until now, he finally believed that there are ghosts and gods in this world.
Suddenly a wooden sculpture moved!
Beside the wood carving there are four others of average size.
These five wooden sculptures include one holding a sword, one holding an umbrella, one holding a pipa, another holding a marten, and the last one holding a tower in his hand!
The wooden sculpture holding the sword fell to the ground and turned into the King in Golden Armor.
He chopped off A Da’s head with one sword stroke.
Ada’s body disappeared after a while.
Wang Shen was drinking in his tent, and he looked at the wood carving.
The workmanship is really fine!
Suddenly he regretted that he should not have killed the guy, but should have captured him and let him carve it for himself.
But it's too late to say anything now. Ah Da may have killed him by now.
He was drinking wine and waiting for Ada to come back.
Suddenly a head fell at his feet, and then a body appeared out of thin air.
It’s Ada!
Wang Shen immediately drew his sword.
He saw a golden armored king holding a sword.
“You don’t believe in spontaneous combustion?” The King in Golden Armor spoke every word, sounding very robotic.
“Stop pretending, I’ve never seen anything...”
Soon Wang Shen’s body caught fire, and he ran out of his tent. He told his sins in pain .
The sword-wielding king in golden armor turned into a wooden sculpture and fell to the ground.
Early the next morning, the deputy steward of the caravan knelt at the door of Zhang Qingdi's shop, holding two wood carvings in his hands.
The chief was originally standing beside him, but when he saw Emperor Zhang Qing coming out, for some reason his legs went weak and he knelt down.
"How can you ask guests to kneel at the door? Come in and kneel."
Master Qingdi is still as elegant and easy-going as ever after so many years.
The two of them knelt down to the store.
"Tell me what's going on?" Emperor Zhang Qing understood what was going on when he saw the sword-wielding king.
Yesterday it was his turn to look at the store, but he appeared elsewhere, which meant that the store was in trouble.
Now Emperor Zhang Qing is really like ordinary people, going to bed early and getting up early.
He went to bed early yesterday morning.
The old steward explained everything in detail.
"If you are not satisfied with the price, you can discuss it. It's just for killing people." Zhang Qingdi said with a sneer. "Shall I return the money to you?"
The old steward shook his head quickly, thinking that if he nodded.
I am afraid that the wood carvings in this room will not let me leave alive.
"Chief, why are you kneeling down?" At this time, Emperor Zhang Qing pretended to help the chief up.
"The old man is also at fault. I had evil thoughts about the three thousand taels of silver." The mayor was now really afraid of Emperor Zhang Qing.
He was the district chief just five years ago. The previous district chief had a bad relationship with him. The old bastard never told himself that there was such a great immortal in this town!
But he still heard a lot of legends about Emperor Zhang Qing, and he didn't know whether they were true or false, so his attitude towards Emperor Zhang Qing had always been to stay at a distance.
Except for seeing the three thousand taels of silver this time.
"Didn't you finally subdue your greed? Then everything will be fine." Zhang Qingdi said nonchalantly.
"Thank you, thank you very much!"
"Since you are not here to return the goods, are you here to ask for my life?" Zhang Qingdi looked at the old steward and asked.
"No! No!" The old steward shook his head quickly. "I'm here to apologize to you."
"The damn ones are dead, so there is no need to apologize."
Hearing these words, the old steward felt like he had been granted amnesty.
It was true that he had not thought about having a chance encounter with Emperor Zhang Qing at first, but after a period of fighting between heaven and man, he finally gave up on that dangerous idea.
The old steward put down the two wooden sculptures and prepared to leave.
"I sold the wood carving to you. If you return it to me, do you want to return it?"
"No!" The old steward quickly picked up the wood carving of the girl slaying the wolf.
Zhang Qingdi waved his hand and let him leave.
Another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and there seems to be no change in the town during these ten years. The old steward took the wood carving and left, and the matter was completely over.
Zhong Kui did not come back for ten years, but he would send a letter back every once in a while.
The letter said that he had been spotted by some official in the court and was now working under him.
Zhang Qingdi felt that it was still necessary to tell him that the girl Wan'er he longed for was already married.
Zhong Kui wrote back and said he knew.
Miss Wan'er came here before her wedding and gave the little scumbag's wood carving back to Emperor Zhang Qing, asking him to return it to Zhong Kui when he saw him later.
Zhang Qingdi asked her why she didn’t pay it back herself.
The girl Wan'er said that she was going to marry somewhere far away, and she was afraid that she would never see her again in this life.
Emperor Zhang Qing accepted the wood carving, seeing that no one liked this little scumbag. I should have known that I would carve a months-old wooden sculpture for Zhong Kui.
Zhang Qingdi has gray hair on his temples, but he is still the dream lover of many girls and young women in the town.
"Boss Zhang, everyone is grabbing rice, why don't you buy some?" the village leader asked Zhang Qingdi.
“There are still many at home.” Emperor Zhang Qing said.
“Hey, the world has become increasingly unstable in recent years.” The chief couldn’t help but sigh.
I heard a few days ago that after the old emperor died, the prince was deposed by a powerful minister, and then the powerful minister was killed!
As a result, the prince and several brothers had a bad idea.
Everyone was worried that something would happen, so they went to buy food.
After all, there is food at home, so I don’t feel panic!
Zhang Qingdi felt that they were too naive. If the world was really in chaos, why should they hoard food?
My neighbor collects grain and I store guns, and my neighbor is my granary!
"Don't you have any plans?" Zhang Qingdi asked. "If there is really chaos, then I'm afraid there is no use just buying food."
"We are going to organize military bravery drills. If there is any trouble then, we can at least protect ourselves."
People have been panicking for more than half a year, but in the end nothing happened.
So everyone’s life returned to normal.
It took another half a year to hear that there was a minister named Zhong in the court. He turned the tide and prevented the world from becoming chaotic.
How he turned the tide, he did not say.
But everyone knows that his name is Zhong Kui!
But the people in the town did not connect Master Zhong with the little slug in their town.
But Emperor Zhang Qing knew that it was Zhong Kui.
A few days ago, Zhong Kui sent a letter. He wanted someone to take Emperor Zhang Qing to the imperial capital. He also told Emperor Zhang Qing that he could now realize his dream.
The matter of going to the imperial capital was naturally rejected by Emperor Zhang Qing. The ups and downs of the imperial court did not affect the town at all.
It was only after more than half a year that people knew that the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhong was none other than Zhong Kui.
The wealthy gentry and wealthy households in the town donated money to help Mr. Zhong repair his ancestral tomb.
Help the blind mother-in-law build a chastity arch!
Emperor Zhang Qing also ascended to heaven because of Zhong Kui, chicken and dog...
Zhang Qingdi: Attack the street! If you can’t write, you don’t have to write!
Those squire and noble families knew that Emperor Zhang Qing and Zhong Kui had been exchanging letters, so they spent a lot of money to buy Emperor Zhang Qing's wood carvings.
As a result, Emperor Zhang Qing didn’t sell any of them to them.
These guys didn’t dare to get angry, but instead greeted them with smiles.
Zhang Qingdi was too lazy to answer these guys, but Zhang Qingdi was also happy for Zhong Kui.
Not because he is in a high position, but because he can realize his dreams.
But in this world, no one can say what will happen next.
A few months later, people in the town were in panic again. A tiger demon came from outside the town.
That tiger demon is very powerful and has already eaten more than a dozen people.
At night, Grandma Chenghuang came to see Emperor Zhang Qing.
"Great Immortal, that tiger demon is too strong." Grandma Zhong Kui must have been injured. "I'm not his opponent."
"Then let me go and have a look." Emperor Zhang Qing did not refuse.
When Emperor Zhang Qing came out of the town, the young people guarding the city gate all recognized Emperor Zhang Qing.
Their mother and sister often talked about this guy.
Although they think it is not a bad thing for this guy to be eaten by a tiger, of course that is what they think.
"Boss Zhang, this is the time when the tiger demon is wreaking havoc at night."
"I'll go talk to it and make it stop harming others." Zhang Qingdi said.
“Do you recognize it?”
They have heard many legends about Emperor Zhang Qing since they were children.
However, there is no evidence for these things, so they can only be heard as myths.
"I don't recognize it."
"Then aren't you going to die?"
"I'm going to die, it's none of your business!" Zhang Qingdi said angrily and impatiently.
They helped Emperor Zhang Qing open the city gate.
After walking for less than half an hour, Emperor Zhang Qing finally arrived at the location where the tiger demon was haunted.
But this tiger demon has gone somewhere.
Zhang Qingdi found a place to sit down, and suddenly a gust of wind hit him.
The tiger demon is out!
“Are you seeking death on your own?” The tiger demon looked at Zhang Qingdi.
He was sure that this was a mortal!
"I want to advise you not to eat people." Zhang Qingdi said.
“I can’t live without eating people!” said the tiger demon.
"Are you injured?" Zhang Qingdi looked at him and asked.
"Yeah." The tiger demon didn't know why he actually spent time talking nonsense with this mortal.
"Come, let me take a look." Zhang Qingdi stretched out his hand and said.
The tiger demon hesitated for a while, revealing a hideous wound on his chest.
This wound damaged his essence, and Tuna could no longer repair it. He could only try to eat people to maintain his life.
“This wound is still poisonous.” Zhang Qingdi said.
“Let’s go, carry me on your back to find herbs for you.”
The tiger demon was stunned for a moment, and he finally showed his true colors.
Emperor Zhang Qing sat on him.
Under the command of Emperor Zhang Qing, they found a lot of herbal medicine.
The former Emperor Zhang Qing of Xiang Liu was an ancestor who used poison.
He knows how to use poison, and he will naturally detoxify it.
In the past, he could detoxify easily, but now Emperor Zhang Qing is unwilling to use spells easily.
He used herbs to detoxify.
"Crush the herbs yourself and apply it on the wound. It will be cured tomorrow. Don't eat people in the future." Zhang Qingdi looked at him and asked. "Can you do it?"
"As long as I recover from my injuries, I will never eat people again."
Zhang Qingdi nodded, and he turned and walked towards the town.
The next morning the town gate opened and Emperor Zhang Qing went back.
When the young people guarding the city saw Emperor Zhang Qing coming back, they asked curiously, "Did you subjugate that tiger monster?"
"How can I subdue such a powerful tiger monster!"
< br>"Then you..."
"I went to talk to him and he said he was willing to listen." Zhang Qingdi said perfunctorily.
The young man felt that Emperor Zhang Qing was bragging.
Emperor Zhang Qing thinks they are idiots!
But for several days, I didn’t hear anything about the tiger demon hurting anyone.
The government paid a lot of money to select a few reckless men and let them see it. The tiger demon was really gone. People thought that the tiger monster was full and would no longer harm the people.
Zhang Qingdi’s store welcomed a customer.
He is a tall man with a hat on his head.
"Thank you, my injury is really healed." The tiger demon said when he was at the door.
After he walked into the store, he knelt down with a plop.
Fear! This is a visceral fear!
"Don't be afraid, they are just pieces of wood." Zhang Qingdi said lightly.
"You, who are you?"
"I am just an ordinary but elegant and easy-going wood carving master." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.
The tiger demon did not get up, he respectfully lowered an old ginseng.
"I am practicing on Songgang Mountain, five hundred miles outside the town. If you have any motivation, just ask someone to tell me." He kowtowed three times to Emperor Zhang Qing.
"Forget it, but if you have this intention, choose a wood carving yourself." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.
The tiger demon looked around, shook his head and said, "I don't dare!"
Emperor Zhang Qing curled his lips and picked up a wooden sign casually.
The word tiger was directly engraved on it!
The tiger demon took it respectfully, and he brought the wooden sign to his neck.
This!
He opened his tiger eyes wide, this brand actually helped him breathe out spiritual energy. He was seriously injured by a golden eagle before, and the golden eagle was about to form a pill.
He is really no match for the golden eagle.
Originally, he had given up on revenge, but now he has this sign.
What a golden eagle! That's a bastard.
After the tiger demon left, life in the town returned to normal.
Unknowingly, another three years have passed. Zhong Kui, who used to be the pride of the town, is no longer the proud one.
Because he wants to reform the law and measure the land!
He wants the squire and wealthy family to pay rent!
His grandma’s archway was demolished, and his family’s ancestral grave was almost raised. If Granny Cheng Huang hadn't taken action herself, her bones would have been dug out.
What’s even more troublesome is that these squire and wealthy families have begun to get in touch with each other. Zhong Kui has become the mainstay in turning the tide and the traitorous official who has brought disaster to the country and the people!
Mortal Zhang Qingdi watched all this with cold eyes! (End of chapter)
