After I worshipped Bodhi, I was invincible

Chapter 76
Go to the end of Qili Street in Changsheng City and turn left, which is the location of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Ao Qing followed the instructions of the sesame seed stall owner, turned across Qili Street, and after exiting the alley, he saw a majestic palace not far away, with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, but there was a faint evil spirit lingering above the cornices and roof tiles.

"This place is the Changsheng City of the Lian Kingdom, which is equivalent to the capital of the Lian Kingdom. This evil spirit is so blatant..."

She looked up at Prince Jing's mansion, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the monsters who dared to wreak havoc in the city were probably not someone to mess with.

Most of the princes and grandchildren have some contacts with the immortal family, especially the Taiqingmen, which is directly under the Central Plains Demon Elimination Division in the city.

The Taiqing Sect is at the same level as the previous Zongzheng Sect, and monks who are Duodu Jie and below are actually good enough to deal with the evil spirits in the human world, but to face the big monsters, they have to invite the immortal envoys from the upper realm to eliminate them.

In short, most of the demons are entrenched in Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou.

On the other hand, Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhan Buzhou are two lands dominated by human races and prosperous in human nature. Monster races rarely commit crimes. After all, there is heaven to protect them.

Any monster that dares to blatantly kill people in the city, either has a hole card, or has a background, or has obsession.

In short, it will not be an ordinary person.

Ao Qing glanced around, there was a notice posted on the stone wall, which said it was the basic requirements for recruiting maidservants in Prince Jing's Mansion, to the effect that sixteen or seventeen would be the best, and it would be better if she had some skills in sewing and cooking, at the end of every month Silver taels will be issued.

"This monster is very particular about cannibalism, and if it's a young girl who is proficient in handyman, isn't it too picky?"

Ao Qing complained silently.

Not far from the notice is the registration place for soliciting maids, and sitting in front of the desk is a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a square scarf on his head.

Ao Qing explained his reason for coming, the man took out a pen and paper, and said in a deep voice: "Name, place of origin, age."

"Yang Xian, originally from Jiangcheng, has been with Ji for more than a year."

The thin middle-aged man with a naked face nodded, wrote a few lines on the bamboo slips, and then pointed to the location of the alley leading to the back door.

"Enter through the back door, and someone will arrange follow-up for you."

"Thank you."

Ao Qing entered the backyard and was in charge of arranging chores for the female worker, a middle-aged woman with a bloated body and wearing a linen robe.

There are spots of pockmarks on both sides of her nose, and a pair of small eyes looked at Ao Qing, as if examining a commodity: "Outsider, right? First go to the backyard to chop firewood, and then there will be chores for washing and cooking."

"You look thin and thin, do you have the strength to do heavy work?"

Ao Qing nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, I grew up in the countryside, so rough and tiring work is fine."

"Well, you can call me Aunt Wang." The woman led Ao Qing to the backyard.

There are mostly unmodified weeds and rocks along the way, piled up randomly on the side of the road, but it also has a messy aesthetic feeling.

When I met a few maids and servants of Prince Jing's mansion, most of them were sad, with a bit of evil spirit on their bodies.

Ao Qing lamented that the monsters in Prince Jing's Mansion were too fateful to live in the city so blatantly and even killed people. Of course, this also meant that the monsters in Prince Jing's Mansion were not ordinary people.

Be careful in everything, and pretend to be a maid to understand the situation first.

He led Ao Qing into the backyard of the dining room, and what he saw was a pile of firewood and two girls in coarse clothes.

Two girls, one fat and one thin, were chopping firewood with the ax in their hands.

Under the guidance of Aunt Wang, Ao Qing walked to a half-person-high firewood and said that she would not be able to eat if she couldn't finish chopping the pile of firewood tonight.

It is easy for Ao Qing to chop ordinary firewood.

But she was pretending to be the servant girl Yang Xian, and she kept pretending, drinking a few sips of water every time she chopped some firewood, and chatting with the other two servant girls in front of the stone slab.

The fat and thin maids were sisters, and their poor parents were old and sick, so they were forced to come to Prince Jing's mansion.

The overweight one is named He Mei, and the slim one is named He Xue.

He Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and looked at Ao Qing: "I heard that in the previous month, the eyes of the princess of Prince Jing's mansion were gouged out and thrown into the well, but the body was never found."

"I thought that no one would come after this kind of thing happened. You have no choice but to?"

He Xue was wearing linen clothes, with two frizzy buns tied on her head, and she spoke in a shrill and thin tone.

"Me?" Ao Qing frowned, pretending to be sad, and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"My family was originally in the funeral business, but later I offended the rich and powerful and was suppressed by local gangsters, and the shop was also smashed. After the drought in Jiangcheng, my parents were forced to flee all the way here."

"Now I finally found a place to stay, but I was hijacked by gangsters, and my family was bankrupt, and I couldn't get any money. Now I am forced by the creditors. If I can't pay 20 taels of silver in a short time, I will kill people to pay off the debt..."

Ao Qing clutched the corners of her skirt with both hands, tears were dancing in her dull eyes.

"I am really miserable. For the sake of my parents, there is nothing I can do... They gave birth to me and raised me. I am not willing to watch the two elders be cornered and lose their lives..."

"Hey, they are all poor people." He Xue patted Ao Qing's back lightly and comforted her.

After listening to her narration, He Xue felt pity in her heart, took out a steamed bun with whole grains from her pocket, and handed it to Ao Qing who was beside her.

"Shall I eat something?"

Ao Qing wiped the tears from her face, and took the steamed buns casually: "Thank you, my life is hard, and it is good luck to meet you at this time, it is really blessed by heaven."

"It's nothing, everyone is the same, supporting and helping each other can be regarded as a reliance in troubled times."

Ao Qing nodded, holding the miscellaneous grain steamed buns, thinking in his heart that if we get rid of the demons, we should give these two poor people a little money, after all, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring.

Besides, gold and silver are of no use to her.

With spiritual power running, Ao Qing put the steamed bun in her mouth to take a bite after confirming that it was not poisonous.

Ao Qing, who was used to eating raw meat, felt that the steamed buns were as dry as chewing tree roots, but she swallowed them anyway. While chewing, she looked at He Xue beside her: "When did strange things start to happen in Prince Jing's Mansion?"

He Xue frowned: "Well, it seems that Prince Jing suddenly changed his temperament two months ago. It is because of this that strange things happen intermittently in Prince Jing's mansion."

"In the beginning, some birds and poultry were eaten, and then they became people."

Thinking of this, He Xue's face turned pale, and she still had lingering fears: "The first one to die was the maid from the laundromat. Her entire head and chest were eaten off. When she was found, she was already dead."

"After this incident, a lot of people left Prince Jing's mansion. Because of this, the monthly gold and silver allowances of maids and servants have also increased to seven taels."

He Xue rubbed the linen clothes with her callused hands, looking down at the rocks under her feet.

"My sister and I can earn 14 taels of silver every month. This is not a small amount. I didn't even dare to think about it at the beginning."

"My parents are suffering from serious diseases, and we are also afraid of death. Recently, I have nightmares every night. In the dreams, I see the stinking corpse of the maid before. I'm afraid I will too..." He Xue lowered her eyes and sighed.

"But I'm even more afraid that when I go back, I can only watch my parents die."

After finishing speaking, He Xue smiled, folded her hands together and said, "God bless, I believe that good people will be rewarded with good things, the gods will see it, and the three of us will be fine!"

Ao Qing smiled slightly: "It will be fine."

— because I saw it.
