There's a tavern here

Chapter 13
Yan Chixia looked at Fang Bie behind her with a strange expression, because no matter how fast his speed increased, she could always see Fang Bie following behind her easily when she turned her head.

Finally, he stopped on an ancient tree, and Fang Bie also crossed to the trunk of this ancient tree from not far away.

Yan Chixia took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off her face, and then took out a map. She looked up at the direction of the sky and the surrounding layout, and she probably confirmed the location.

Then don't say to Fang:
"Brother, I don't know what you are asking for, but you don't want to interfere in the next thing, so that your life will be safe."

Fang Bie didn't respond, but instead asked why the monster?

Yan Chixia frowned into a tic-tac-toe:
"It's all for your own good! Do you want me to tap your acupuncture points to be safe!"

Fang Bie didn't argue with Yan Chixia, but just put his palm on his chest in front of Yan Chixia, a red flame burned on his fingertips, and an awe-inspiring aura of righteousness spread from Fang Bie.

Yan Chixia's pupils dilated and she looked at Fang Bie in surprise, because he knew that people with bad intentions and evil ways must not be able to cultivate this fire, and neither are people who are not deep in the way.

I didn't expect this person to be so unusual.

Fang Bie didn't care about Yan Chixia's psychological activities, after all, if he really rushed up to touch his own acupuncture points, then he could only make this silly boy suffer.

Yan Chixia finally shook her head: "One more person is also an extra force, but this is a monster and I can deal with it alone, so don't take too much action!"

Then he told Fang Bie the information that it was a monster.

It turns out that just recently, corruption among local officials in Yunling towns has suddenly become prevalent, and crimes committed in local villages are even more frequent.

It even directly alarmed the imperial court, and sent several detectives to clarify the matter. As soon as these detectives came to Yunling, they found that the local officials plundered the wealth of the rich, the rich robbed the poor, and the poor turned the poor, burning, killing and looting Do all kinds of evil.

In the end, it was discovered that the source was a spring in Yunling Village. The people drinking water changed their temperaments drastically, and one after another brought spring water into the city and poured it into the wells in the city.

And those few detectives, some of them were tempted by the corrupt official, planned to hide the matter and lied to the superior.

But fortunately, there was a detective who kept his heart and took a lot of effort to escape from Yunling and announce it to the court.

The imperial court also attached great importance to this matter, because Yunling is only a hundred miles away from Daxia's capital, if the spring water flows to the capital, it will be another disaster.

So he was sent to deal with the matter, the number one arrester in Kyoto, to get rid of Yaoquan and restore Yunling to a peaceful state.

After Yan Chixia finished speaking to Fang Bie, she pointed to a village not far away that was smoking from cooking.

"That's where the demon spring is hiding."

Fang Bie also had some emotions after listening to it:
"It's the first time I've heard of spring water turning demons, but it's been so long, and the demon spring probably set up a net in that village."

Yan Chixia interrupted Fang Bie:

"So what about the heaven and earth net! In ancient times, a sword fairy could break through ten thousand spells with one sword, so why would our swordsman shrink back in the face of a little monster!"

Then, with an upright spirit, he raised his sword majesticly and ran towards the village. Fang Bie looked at Yan Chixia who was in high spirits with a speechless expression, and followed his footsteps.

"This kid has missed a severe beating at this time."

Yan Chixia walked into the village, looking at the peaceful scene on the surface, she had some doubts, so she found a villager not far away and asked:
"My fellow, do you know where there is a spring in the village?"

The villager paused after Yan Chixia stopped him, looked at Yan Chixia, and said in a dialect:

"Spring water? There seems to be a spring in the middle of our village."

Then seeing Yan Chixia's brocade clothes under the coir raincoat on her simple face, she became extremely greedy:

"The clothes this young man is wearing are very nice. It's the first time I've seen such beautiful clothes in the village for so many years."

Yan Chixia didn't pay attention to the villager's expression, but said proudly:

"Of course, this is the award I received for solving numerous cases in Beijing - Feiyan Jinyi."

The villager grinned grimly, and took out a sickle from the bamboo basket behind his back, and chopped it off directly at Yan Chixia's head.

"Since the official likes to help people so much, can you help Xiaomin? Your set of clothes can make Caomin's family eat and drink for more than a month!"

Yan Chixia was startled and jumped back, fell into the haystack, stretched out her hand to touch her neck, and saw that her hand was red with blood.

Looking at the troublemaker rushing in front of her, Yan Chixia got angry from her heart, got up and kicked the man in the chest, kicking him directly into the wall of the blue brick house behind.

Fang Bie watched coldly from the sidelines, but found that the villagers did not disperse like birds and beasts, but went to the villager who was embedded in the wall and groped to find out.

After a while, the villager lay naked on the road. If you look closely, you can even see that some parts of his body have been cut to pieces... The dark red blood stained the surrounding sand.

Just wait for a passing beast or a sudden downpour to wipe away the debris from the ground.

Yan Chixia covered the scratches on her neck and walked towards Fang Bie:
"I didn't expect that I almost capsized in this gutter... This place is really a bit evil."

Fang Bie spread his hands:

"There is no demonic aura here, and there are no traces of any great demons. It's just that the villagers here are a bit weird. Are you sure that demon spring really exists?"

Yan Chixia: "I don't know, but didn't the villager just say that there is a spring in the middle of the village, let's go there and see."

After passing the village entrance, the two continued to go in, while Yan Chixia wrapped her whole body in the coir raincoat, for fear that what happened just now would happen again.

"Big Xia is booming now, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, I didn't expect that Yunling next to the capital is so dilapidated..."

"I don't know how many people are suffering from hunger, cold and starvation in this prosperous age."

Yan Chixia had already dissipated her anger at this moment, but her eyes were filled with emotion.

Fang Bie walked beside him: "Of course there is nothing one can do, but the rectification is by no means temporary, maybe after ten years or so there will be a change."

Yan Chixia nodded and listened to the words.

While the two were talking, a thin and hoarse voice sounded from the side.

When the two of them saw it, it was an old villager who bowed his waist and said to them:
"The two masters are from other places, right? What are you doing in our Yunling Village?"

Yan Chixia was refreshed when she saw someone who could inquire about the news, but this time she learned to be smart and knew to keep a certain distance from the old man.

"This old man, we just want to ask, what is so special about the spring water in the center of the village compared with other places?"

The old man did not rush to answer Yan Chixia's words:
"This young man, he has not had enough food for three days. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the strength to speak. I don't know if the young man has some valuable items for me to exchange for some food."

When Yan Chixia heard this, she impatiently threw out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve. The old man didn't even care about the crutch in his hand, and jumped on the piece of silver, revealing a chrysanthemum on his face. smile.

"Okay, okay, this spring is called Qinquan, and it was specially sent out by the government two years ago. It's no different from that in other places."

Yan Chixia asked again: "Then, has Tan Quan changed in recent days?"

The old man picked up the crutches, stood up and coughed non-stop, then pointed to the pocket that had just thrown the broken silver.

Yan Chixia saw that the back molars were about to be bitten off, but she still had the courage to throw him a piece of silver.

The old man smiled:
"It's just that some people have come to this Qin spring recently, saying that it needs to be repaired, but when we went to look at it, we didn't find any traces of repairs. It's just that the taste of this spring water has indeed become much better."

As soon as Fang Bie and Yan Chixia heard that someone had been to Tan Quan, they thought about it. The change in Yunling also occurred recently, so there are nine out of ten that someone has done something wrong, but everything still needs to be seen by Tan Quan. Only then can a conclusion be drawn.
