Doom Roar

558 The Flower Picker

Compared with going to Jinshan Temple to ask for a magic weapon consecrated by an eminent monk, it is not so troublesome to invite the God of Ku. You can buy a portrait of God of Ku in Fangshi for a few pennies, paste it on the door of the Kumen, and place some offerings on it. Zhu Xiang, Kushen will be invited.

Of course, there is a difference between the two.

Xu Mo has seen with his own eyes the magical artifact consecrated by the Buddhist School, which contains the mighty Buddha power. Anyone who gets close to it will be automatically attacked, while ordinary people will feel a sense of peace and tranquility when they get close to it.

The Taoist statue is more interesting. It is an ordinary portrait in itself, but after being enshrined with incense, it will generate a very special energy, which is transferred from the portrait to the sky.

Once the evil is approaching, the statue will automatically release a soft force similar to warning and driving away. If the evil refuses to leave, a very powerful energy will be transmitted from the sky along the energy line, Form some special energy bodies of people or beasts to attack these evil things, which is the so-called seance. [

However, these god energy clones cannot be seen by ordinary people's naked eyes, and Xu Mo can only see them with the special lens on the [Ice Abyss Demon Armor] visor.

Xu Mo finds it quite interesting that Buddhism and Taoism have different exorcising methods.

He used to think that Taoism's method of exorcising evil spirits is more severe, while Buddhism's way of exorcising evil is more or less merciful, but seeing it now, the two are exactly the opposite.

Buddhism is almost completely intolerant of evil, whether it is intentionally approaching or passing by, it will be killed without mercy. On the contrary, Taoism is somewhat humane, and it knows to give a warning before starting the fight.

Xu Mo guessed that this might be because there are many ghosts and ghosts who become gods in the gods of the heavens in this world. In the lower world, there might be a god of heaven covering any big monster. If it is not a matter of principle, there are more gods in heaven Save some face for your colleagues, so as not to be ugly when they meet in the future... And those monks in the Western Paradise are their own school, so naturally they don't need to save face for the gods in the Eastern Heavenly Court.

Well, off topic.

Although Kushen's status is not high, he is still the righteous god of heaven after all. No matter how daring Cen Biqing is, he would not dare to lay a heavy hand on Kushen, otherwise he would be no different from the crime of assaulting the police in modern society. No matter how bad it is, the county treasury can still be guarded under the ups and downs... After all, what he has to do is to guard the money, not catch thieves.

In order to prevent Cen Biqing from getting angry and killing people to vent his anger, Xu Mo also specifically explained to Li Gongfu that no matter how loud the county treasury was heard, he should stay in the county government room and not come out, and he would not lose the money in the treasury.

Although Li Gongfu couldn't fully understand Xu Mo's intentions, out of absolute trust in her husband, she still agreed without any doubt.

It was night in a blink of an eye.

After having dinner at the tavern in Fangcheng District, Xu Mo was not in a hurry to go home. Anyway, Li Gongfu was on duty in the county office all night, and there was no one at home, so there was something to do when he went back. Why not visit the bustling night market in Qiantang County .

Since the Tang Dynasty, fang refers to the residential area, while the city refers to the market. In the past, fang and shi were strictly separated, closed management was implemented, and the city was agitated at dusk.

But in the Song Dynasty, due to the integration of the square and the market, there were no restrictions on business hours and business locations. The night market was not closed, and the morning market opened. There were ghost markets and even flea markets.

When Xu Xian'er was still there, Xu Mo liked to take Xu Xian'er to hang out in Fangcheng District of Qiantang County every night, walking all the way, looking at the teahouses, wine shops, noodle shops, fruits, colored silk, and wool on the street , joss sticks, oil sauce, rice, fish meat and cured meat for dinner and other shops, and then sit down at a food stall such as wonton, spend a few dollars for some food, and sit and watch the busy citizens and the competition of strength. The competition for business, the wealth of the shops, the hustle and bustle of cars and horses passing through the city, the rows of buildings, the bustle of the streets, and the quiet feeling of the beauty of life in this world.

And after getting married, because Li Gongfu was busy with business every day, she went out early and returned late, even if she came home early occasionally, she was exhausted. Xu Mo couldn't drag her around anymore. The habit of the night market was also forgotten.

Now stepping into this bustling market, looking at the candlelight dotted like a long river, Xu Mo subconsciously went to hold the hand of the person beside him, and only after grabbing some time did he realize that Xu Xian'er was no longer by his side.

More than a month has passed, and I don't know how she is doing now. The journey of cultivating immortality is long, where will she go in the end?

"Hey, isn't this a senior officer? What brought you here today? This is a rare visitor. How about going upstairs to drink tea and listen to a song? The girls here have only heard your name. People who have never met you admire you very much, Xu Daguan!"

A middle-aged beautiful woman with a lingering charm suddenly greeted her from the door next to her with a scent of rouge. She pulled Xu Mo's arm and pressed her plump body close to her. Can melt in general. [

"Uh?"

It was only then that Xu Mo noticed that in a moment of distraction, he actually walked to the Xunhua Alley next to Fangshi, and beside him was the famous brothel "Yihongyuan" in Qiantang County.

/>

"Sorry, Mama Bo, I just wanted to pass by."

Xu Mo hurriedly bowed his hands to apologize. Although he didn't know the madam of "Yihongyuan", he had heard people call her before, because the surname was really special, so he was impressed.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, since you're here, why don't you go in and sit down! It's common for literati here, and rich businessmen and gentry are common, but Mr. Xu, you are a young hero who fights tigers. It's rare to come here once, so go and help us You're so angry, and my servant doesn't charge you for tea..."

Nabo's mother also tricked and coaxed Xu Mo into the building, but Xu Mo's feet were as motionless as if they had taken root, which made her panting from exhaustion.

"Mother Bo, thank you for your kindness, but I still have something to do, so I won't bother you today."

Different from modern times, almost none of the brothel women in ancient times entered the profession voluntarily, either because they were implicated by the offender's family or forced by life, so Xu Mo still responded to these brothel women who seemed to be flirtatious. Respect, even if it is rejection, does not forcefully get rid of the other party, but just returns with a kind smile.

"Alas... Those scholars in the market always say that you are an unscientific barbarian, Mr. Xu, but according to my family, the senior officials are really modest and modest gentlemen!"

Being able to be the madam in charge of a brothel, how could Bo's mother fail to see Xu Mo's respect and kindness towards her, she was used to welcoming and seeing off, she couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, she blushed a little, and let go of Xu Mo's arm .

"The love for the slave family, the slave family has kept it in mind, and I hope that when there is time in the future, the high officials can come to the slave house to sit and sit with Fengyueguan, simply listening to music and drinking tea. The slave family will warn those girls not to disturb the high officials human..."

"Thank you Mama Bo."

Xu Mo smiled and thanked again. When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man passing by the entrance on the third floor. He was actually the county magistrate of Qiantang County.

Looking outside the Yihong Garden, a few tall horses of great steeds are leisurely grazing on forage under the company of a tortoise.

Since the loss of the land of Yanyun in the north, horses have become a rarity in the Song Dynasty, especially this kind of tall war horse, even ordinary wealthy people are not qualified to ride.

This inevitably made Xu Mo feel a little curious, and he couldn't help asking: "Mother Bo, is the county lord meeting the distinguished guests here?"

Mother Bo hesitated for a moment, and then whispered in her ear: "The county lord is meeting with a few men, it is said that they are from the six gates of the capital..."

"People from Six Doors? What are they doing in Qiantang County?"

In this world, Six Doors is said to be a mysterious organization comparable to the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. Although Xu Mo has heard all kinds of rumors, he has never seen a real person.

"It seems that they are looking for someone, and they brought a portrait. When I brought a girl in for them, I glanced at it curiously. I only saw a beautiful little girl in the age of cardamom."

Someone called from inside the building, Mama Bo bowed apologetically to Xu Mo, gathered her energy and went back to greet the guests with a charming smile again.

Although Xu Mo was a little curious about the legendary mysterious organization called Six Doors, he didn't want to cause troubles in his peaceful life, so he gave up the idea of ​​standing downstairs and eavesdropping on their conversation, tidied up his clothes and turned back . [

All the way, when Xu Mo returned home, it was more than a child.

In modern times, it was only the beginning of nightlife, but in the Song Dynasty, it was definitely considered a dead night.

Lying alone on the bed after a simple wash, Xu Mo's mind inexplicably kept reappearing the charming and enchanting style of the young and mature woman with the surname wave in Yihongyuan before, and his lower body unexpectedly had a strong physical reaction uncontrollably.

Xu Mo couldn't help laughing wryly, it seems that he is really not a saint...

In the past, when Xu Mo was a porter, he could still expend some extra energy, but since he bought a field at home, he no longer has to run around for a living every day, and he has been in a state of excess energy for a long time after turning into a half rice bug, which is a little irritating There will be a reaction, and it is difficult to subside.

Because of this, on weekdays, he deliberately avoids being too intimate with Li Gongfu, and even sleeps at a distance, fearing that the gun will go off and cause trouble.

The heat in his heart made Xu Mo feel a little stuffy, and he simply got up and went outside the room to get some air after tossing and turning.

Just as he was about to go to the well to fetch water to cool off his anger as before, he suddenly saw a black shadow roll over the courtyard wall of Gu Pan's house, and fell to the ground quietly.

There are thieves?

Since a large number of refugees flooded into Qiantang County, cases of theft and the like occurred from time to time, even Xu Mo encountered two or three cases.

Considering that the other party is poor people who have been forced to help, Xu Mo would open the door and throw more than a hundred pennies into the courtyard when similar incidents occur, and the other party would often pick up the money and leave after thanking him. .

However, this thief today made Xu Mo feel very strange, because generally speaking, no matter whether it is a professional or non-professional thief, the first thing they will look at when they come to this alley is definitely his big family with green bricks and new tiles. No matter how bad it is, the other families around are all poor and rich, so it's impossible for the Gu Pan family, who is poor and poor...

With this kind of doubt, Xu Mo was not in a hurry to drive the thief away, but quietly touched it, lying on the wall in the shadow of the tree branches, and carefully observed what the thief was doing.

The thief, who looked like a young man in his twenties, turned over deftly after landing, and hid behind a millstone in the courtyard, only showing his two eyes, looking around, making sure that no one around him was disturbed, and then Walking lightly to the outside of Gu Pan's house, he took out a foot-long bamboo tube from his waist and carefully inserted it into the paper.

Could it be the legendary mist?

Xu Mo suddenly remembered the flower picker that Li Gongfu had mentioned not long ago, and unexpectedly, this person would have his idea on Gu Pan.

Uh... those brothers who took off their pants and waited for welfare, I am sorry for you again, put on your pants and wait for tomorrow.

It is customary to ask for a red ticket.
