Please calm down your anger

Chapter 14 The Lost Jianghu, Acquired the Technique "The Sutra of Demon Transformation"

27. It is snowing all over the sky.

The beginning of winter has not yet arrived, but the first snow in winter has arrived.

In the elegant pavilion of Jinyu Tower, Wang Xuan casually skimmed the tea foam in a cup.

Through the window, you can see the opposite direction of the Town God's Temple. Craftsmen are setting up rows of tents, common people have made their own bacon and set up stalls, shopkeepers are shaking rattles in their hands, and Jianghu entertainers are leading monkeys to avoid snow on the street...

Every year in Lidong is the Temple Fair of the City God Temple, which is now being prepared.

Before leaving, Qi Long introduced him to a door.

He has already cultivated the military school, so he cannot learn the secret arts of various schools of art. He must either find someone who is good at this art and take it under his command, or find a spirit beast.

There are two ways to find it.

First, there are Zhenbao Pavilions and underground ghost markets in all the prefectures and cities of Dayan. Behind them are either religious sects or aristocratic families, which are extremely powerful, but extremely expensive.

Second, it is the world of the rivers and lakes.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, there is a saying of "worshiping the dock". This dock is the local snake that controls the order of the local rivers and lakes, either a gang or a prestigious "leader".

Tang Zixiong, the owner of the carriage and horse shop in Dongcheng, is the "leader" of Yongan.

This person has a wide range of friends, and he controls all the butcher shop and vegetable business in Yong'an City, as well as weddings and funerals, temple fairs and wedding banquets, which are all organized by him.

No matter the five elements and eight craftsmen who make a living, or the empty and empty robbers passing through this place, they all come to visit them, and they are regarded as the maintainers of underground order.

Just like this Town God's Temple Fair, from the craftsmen who set up the lampstands, to all kinds of entertainers from other places, and even the street vendors selling snacks, they were all organized and maintained by him.

The government is also happy to hand over chores to such people.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door suddenly, and then a fat man with a mustache walked in, rubbed the sweat on his forehead, bent over and cupped his hands and said, "Lieutenant Wang, I'm late, I still hope for forgiveness, I still hope for forgiveness." crime."

This person is Tang Zixiong.

Wang Xuan faintly smelled blood, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Boss Tang, what happened?"

Tang Zixiong was at a loss at first, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "But I'm not afraid of Captain Wang's jokes. Last month, Mr. Chen's family had a birthday party, and I brought a troupe to him. I didn't expect that the singer who sang Xiaosheng was a flower picker, and he ruined Miss Ren's innocence." , won't this ruin my reputation..."

Wang Xuan didn't care either, nodded and said, "What about what I asked?"

Tang Zixiong cupped his hands with a smile all over his face and said, "I don't dare to be negligent about Lieutenant Wang's matter. I have found a spirit beast, but I just need Lieutenant to accompany me."

What is this guy selling?
Wang Xuan said expressionlessly: "Okay, where is it?"

"Not far, not far, people are in Nancheng."

……

The two left the Jinyu Tower and walked on the snow.

On the way, Tang Zixiong explained the whole story while walking.

"After Lieutenant Wang spoke, I will release the news, but you are not to be blamed, Lieutenant. If there are monster-seeking mystics who are willing to enter the government, most of them will enter the Jingyaosi. Spiritual beasts that can hunt monsters are even more precious."

"It's a coincidence that this time, a pair of masters and apprentices from the Town God's Temple will come to pay homage to the door to occupy the stage. After hearing the news from my subordinates, they immediately said that there is a spirit beast for sale..."

While talking, the two had already arrived at a dilapidated residential house in Nancheng.

"Hou San, the distinguished guest is here, open the door quickly!"

After Tang Zixiong knocked on the door, a gray-faced old man came out nodding and bowing, "Master Tang is here, please come in quickly."

After Wang Xuan followed into the door, he saw an old monkey squatting in the corner of the courtyard, and a goat lying beside him, cuddling together for warmth, and a young man with a snot nose was munching on roasted sweet potatoes on the steps...

One word to describe, down and out.

Wang Xuan was not surprised either, just as not everyone can become a rich man in business, and there are only a small number of heroes who are unrestrained and romantic in the Jianghu. Poverty and poverty, displacement is the norm.

Even Qi Long, the ghostly hand, desperately seized the treasure for the sake of eliminating the poison of his zombie surgery.

Unlike getting along with Wang Xuan, Tang Zixiong's voice showed a bit of majesty at this time: "Where is the spirit beast, quickly bring it out for the distinguished guests to see."

"Yes Yes."

With a flattering expression on his face, the old man entered the room and took out an iron cage.

The iron cage was not big, and inside was a puppy with pure black fur and a stocky body, jumping around non-stop, barking and barking, with a vicious vigor.

Tang Zixiong's face turned gloomy when he saw it: "Hou San, I respect you that the Hou family is well-known in Bingzhou, but if you use this kind of thing to fool you, you will think that I, Old Tang, are easy to bully, right?"

"Master Tang, how dare I..."

The old man Hou San hurriedly yelled at Qu, and hurriedly lifted the cage, "Don't worry, you two, just look at this son of a bitch's ears."

Wang Xuan took a closer look, and immediately realized something was wrong: "Ear... two?"

I saw that the little black dog's ears had two layers, but they were just glued together. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect it at all.

"That's right."

Hou San smiled wrinkled all over his face: "everything belonging to a strange beast must have a vision. This cub was found by the old man in a farm. Master Tang also knows that our old Hou's family is good at distinguishing beasts, but we have never seen it before." ..."

Unexpectedly, Tang Zixiong's face became more and more ugly: "Hou San, you are getting better and better as you get older. What the distinguished guest wants is to find monsters and spirit beasts, not just weaned cubs, and play tricks with me!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and cupped his hands at Wang Xuan, "My lord, this old man is playing tricks, just like taking a cow bone to pass off a tiger bone, and using a deformed dog to pretend to be a spirit beast. Fucheng will help you find it."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly and didn't say anything. This kind of quack tricks are everywhere, Tang Zixiong was obviously a little annoyed, and deliberately pointed out the explanation.

Seeing that the trick was exposed, Hou San gritted his teeth in embarrassment and panic, and said, "Master Tang is staying with this lord. I wonder if you would like to buy the secret art from the villain's family?"

"Hahaha, joke..."

Tang Zixiong sneered: "Your Hou family has already fallen, what good things are left behind, get out of Yong'an City before tomorrow!"

However, Wang Xuan's heart moved, "What inheritance is it?"

Hou San swallowed his saliva: "Master Hui, this is the way to raise spirit beasts."

"Oh…"

Wang Xuan was thoughtful, "Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will be humiliated?"

Hou San turned his head and glanced at the boy on the steps, his voice was full of bitterness: "If there is a glimmer of hope, this old man would not be willing to do this, but the youngest son is born stupid, and the inheritance will eventually be broken."

"The old man is getting old, and he can't move in this world anymore. He just wants to exchange some money and marry him a daughter-in-law to continue the incense..."

Wang Xuan said expressionlessly: "Okay, let's make a price."

Tang Zixiong opened his mouth as if he wanted to stop him, but seeing how downhearted Hou San and his son were, he sighed and closed his mouth again.

Hou San's turbid eyes lit up, and he stretched out three fingers: "300 taels."

Tang Zixiong's eyelids twitched, "Hou San, my lord is kind-hearted, don't push yourself further, the price is too high!"

Hou San looked embarrassed: "Then... 250 taels."

Wang Xuan waved his hand to stop Tang Zixiong who wanted to continue bargaining, and said calmly: "That's it, but if the secret technique is fake, the deal will be void."

"My lord, the villain doesn't dare, I'll go and get it!"

Hou San was overjoyed, and hurried into the room to take out a booklet.

Wang Xuan took it and took a look, the booklet was made of parchment paper threaded with threads, it was very old, not only had moth-eaten holes, but also the handwriting was mottled and illegible in many places.

Hou San carefully introduced at the side: "My lord, the ancestors of this old man were also brilliant, but later encountered a catastrophe, the formulas were lost, and most of the secret books were damaged, but the few secret arts that can be read are quite practical."

Damaged and lost... The Heavenly Dao Deduction Disk is not afraid of this.

Wang Xuan remained calm, and after a few glances, he had an idea: "Okay, that's it, please boss Tang send someone to the military mansion to call Liu Shun."

Tang Zixiong looked at the embarrassed Hou San, then at Wang Xuan, his eyes became respectful: "Yes, my lord."

After all, he hurried away.

After a while, Liu Shun came to hand over the silver taels, Hou San and his son left happily, sold the old monkey in the courtyard to other artistes, and gave the two-eared puppy to Wang Xuan, packed their bags and left Yong'an that day.

Looking at the backs of the old and the young leaving, Tang Zixiong sighed: "The Hou family was famous in the Wei Dynasty, and no one dared to provoke it. But the world is easy to grow old, and the reputation has been completely broken since then."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands solemnly to Wang Xuan: "I know that Mr. Wang is out of benevolence and righteousness, and Old Tang will definitely find a real secret technique for you."

"Oh, no problem."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, he flipped through it roughly, this "Sutra of Demon Transformation" does not require Taoism training, it is just suitable for deduction, but it will be discussed after the fusion of body training skills.

"Wangwang!"

The two-eared little black dog in his arms kept tossing and yelling fiercely at him.

Wang Xuan stared: "Call again, I'll stew you!"

"Woooo..."

Sensing his ferocity, the little black dog shrank his head.

Tang Zixiong smiled and said: "Although this little thing is a fake, it is also interesting. If you find it troublesome, just throw it away."

Wang Xuan scratched the puppy's head, "It's okay, just stay in the military mansion to watch the gate."

At this moment, the street suddenly became chaotic, and I saw a middle-aged man with fierce eyes running towards Tang Zixiong with his feet like the wind, and said to Tang Zixiong, "Master Tang, something happened to Nanshan Road, and several merchants were arrested. Attack, a few of our people also died."

"what?!"

Tang Zixiong's eyes burst into flames when he heard it: "Which mountain village is it?"

The middle-aged man quickly shook his head, glanced at Wang Xuan, and then said in a low voice: "Going back to Master Tang, it's not the green forest robbery, according to the people who came back...it's the mountain ghost!"
