Lord of Immortals

Chapter 12 County Magistrate Lu Zhenren Jieye

Under the change of mood, Ge Xian also fulfilled the pretty young woman's wish and praised her skill in cleaning the house.

But his way of complimenting her made the pretty young woman very uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, Sister Bai stepped back from the cliff, otherwise I would have had to do the cleaning myself."

"How can I have such a skill? It's the legendary "Departing Dust Curse". It only has this effect."

Hearing these two sentences, the broom spirit couldn't help but feel ashamed and annoyed.

I wish I could tear this slutty young man's mouth apart, and he won't pick up any pot, right?

Am I stepping back from the brink?I didn't snatch the four witches, so I couldn't get on the bed.

The pretty young woman was about to reply, but suddenly she saw that Ge Xian had only thought about it for a few breaths after returning home, and suddenly started to pack away his belongings. Looking at it, he looked like he had caused some big trouble and was about to run away.

Unable to bear it any longer, he asked: "What are you doing and where are you going?"

Ge Xian continued to clean up and quickly replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I probably can't stay in Qiantang County anymore. Let's go to the provincial capital first... If it doesn't work, then go to [Dadu], as long as we find a peaceful place. , I can always make a living."

It was normal for him to act like this, after all, he had heard more than one piece of secret gossip and shocking conspiracy not long ago.

Those bloody sadomasochisms are okay, but the most important thing is that the fact that "the demon county Yin wants to betray Qiantang County" is really terrifying. County residents all think that although Lu Hualong, the county Yin, has some evil habits, he is still a good official in essence, and he has just been promoted. Realm will provide benefits to the entire county.

Who would have thought that giving out welfare is fake, but fattening pigs and selling them off is real.

Ge Xian didn't want to be a pig, and besides, he had indeed committed a crime.

Eavesdropping on the private affairs of the county Yin and his wife!
Deceive Mrs. Yin’s feelings!

Kill the lady's maid!

Any crime is a capital offense.

While Ge Xian was tidying up, the pretty young woman suddenly started to walk around, stopping here and swaying there, shy and timid, and stopped talking, and gradually turned into a sad look of being unable to love her. If there were other people around, From now on, the custodian will label this young salesman as a dishonest person.

At first, Ge Xian didn't understand its meaning, but he soon realized it and couldn't help but laugh.

Then he stepped forward and quite solemnly picked up the broom with colorful silk threads, which was the beautiful young woman's soul house, and wanted to hang it on the salesman's pole. At the same time, he specifically asked the young woman: "Ge is promised this." I’m traveling far away to seek refuge, would Sister Bai come with me?”

It sounds like a joke, but Ge Xian is actually very serious.

Since coming to this world, all he has seen are terrifying monsters in human skin, and each path to practice is more terrifying than the last.

In comparison, this "broom spirit" is more serious and cute.

And it was quite similar to the style of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" that he had read in his previous life. Taking it with him made him feel a little better.

When the pretty young woman saw that her goal was achieved and she was not abandoned, she immediately smiled brightly and was about to say something.

suddenly!

No matter it's her or Ge Xian.

They all felt something at the same time, and their expressions changed slightly.

There was no need for Ge Xian to speak, and the pretty young woman turned into a wandering spirit and floated back to the broom.

Ge Xian, on the other hand, frowned and looked outside the small courtyard. He clearly sensed that there were more than one uninvited guests coming to the door.

Almost at the next moment, the door of the small courtyard was banged, and an overbearing and rude shout rang out: "Ge Xian comes out, the county Yin has an order to recruit all the salesmen and foot traders in the city..."

Originally, when Ge Xian sensed that the arrivals were several "ghosts" with powerful auras, he thought he was in trouble and planned to escape over the wall, struggling for a while.

Hearing the shout, he stopped moving.

Then he hurriedly opened the door, pretending to have just woken up and yawning profusely, put on his coat, and faced the outside of the small courtyard.

Sure enough, there were three demons standing outside the courtyard, wearing government officials' clothes, equipped with long knives, and with fierce auras. They all slapped the door with impatient expressions, and Ge Xian quickly came to greet them.

Without even a word of nonsense, he directly ordered:
"You are Ge Xian, one of the registered salesmen in Qiantang County."

"By the order of Lord Yin of the County, you have been recruited into the [Qiantang Propaganda Team]. Today, you need to go with other salesmen and merchants to the towns, townships, counties around Qiantang County, or the places where refugees gather in the wilderness to pay homage to They preached about Lord County Yin’s benevolent new policies and kindness.”

"And guide them to come to Qiantang County and live and work in peace and contentment."

"You all have to make a trip every day. You will be well rewarded, including money and food."

After hearing these words, Ge Xian's mind raced, and he immediately remembered the secrets of the conspiracy he had overheard last night.

After a few thoughts, you can guess the reason.

"This Lu Hualong is so shameless and greedy. His decision to sell the entire Qiantang County is cruel enough."

"He still feels that it is not enough. There are not enough domestic pigs, and wild boars are coming to join in. What kind of propaganda team should be organized to recruit humans from other counties, towns, and villages, even those wilderness refugees who are already like savages."

"I, Mr. Ge, are also unlucky. Just when I was thinking about escaping, I was caught as a young man?"

Ge Xian was cursing in his heart but showed no emotion on his face. He was procrastinating with the three ghost government officials, saying that he had known the edict for a while and then went to join them.

Unexpectedly, he was immediately rejected. The leader scolded him unceremoniously: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Pick up your peddler's load and set off immediately. The propaganda team is already waiting on the main street. We have wasted time. Be careful." I will peel off your pretty face and eat all your fresh flesh and blood."

When he was scolded, Ge Xian was already thinking about whether to do anything to the three scoundrels to buy some time to escape.

But it was at this moment that something unexpected happened to him.

Directions to Liuying Lane!
An extremely frightening aura erupted, and the extremely strong fox energy turned into a faintly visible pillar of demonic energy, rising into the sky.

In the trance, there seemed to be an extremely sharp, violent, and angry fox cry coming from afar.

Not only Ge Xian, but also the three scoundrels in front of him felt something. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

At this moment, in front of them, the young salesman who had been dragging his feet just a breath ago seemed to be afraid of being scolded. He quickly lowered his head and said yes, and then quickly walked back to the house to pick up the salesman's load.

When Ge Xian turned around to shoulder the burden, he immediately heard a few comments from the evil spirits behind him:

"Did you see it? It seems like something happened in Liuying Lane."

"I don't know who was blind and made the mistress furious."

"Tsk, tsk, it seems that the master doesn't dare to go to Liuying Lane to have fun anymore. If he is caught by the angry mistress, he may not have much fun."

……

The three ghost government officials didn't know what Yelu Yuyan in Liuying Lane was going crazy about.

Ge Xian, of course, knew that he was the cause of the disaster after all.

It can be said that Ge Xian's escape from the fox prostitute alley last night was a very lucky accident.

If Lu Hualong hadn't come, it would have been almost impossible for him to escape.

The former consumed most of Yelu Yuyan's energy and temperament, causing her to have no interest in Ge Xian for the time being, so she sent her down to wash herself, thinking that she could eat it tomorrow.

How could she have imagined that the Dragon Girl, who seemed to be of low moral character and reckless temperament, was actually disguised as a dissolute young salesman, who also had the rare talent of "charm".

Some operations!
Successfully escaped from the clutches of the devil.

With the power of charm, he came out of the fox prostitute's den alone, and Ge Xian's title of "Male Daji" can be fully confirmed.

Now Yelu Yuyan roared angrily. She must have discovered the corpse of "Chun Niang" and knew that the dragon girl captured last night had escaped, so she became angry.

It's not that I pity the fox prostitute called Chun Niang, I just feel that I have lost face and am very angry.Next, I am afraid that I will send out my men, or simply cast a spell to capture the dragon.

Although Ge Xian was sure that nothing went wrong last night, he was cautious and did not even maintain the good habit of "touching the corpse" to ensure that there was no strange smell on his body.

However, it is best to avoid the limelight now.

So he simply stopped struggling and obediently went back to the house to pick up a peddler's load, then followed the three ghostly government servants to the main street.

On the way, Ge Xian could vaguely hear the low-pitched discussions of neighbors and county residents.

Yesterday, during the battle of wits, Lu Hualong showed off his ferocious demonic body. Although he later announced a benevolent new policy, it still couldn't stop people from panicking.

Especially the most deadly scene: a large number of worms crawling out of the children's bodies.

"Dad, Mom, my daughter hurts so much and she's so hungry."

"Ooooooo, are there still bugs in my body? I'm so scared."

"My child, can you please stop eating those beautiful grains tomorrow? There are...worms in them."

"Good boy, I won't eat it, and I won't eat it again."

"The child's father, should we flee to Renhe County? Although there are some exploits there, we can at least save our lives..."

Ge Xian can hear this, and so can those ghostly government officials.

The strange thing is that there was no anger on their faces, but they all sneered and said: "You fools, in less than half an hour, they need to change their appearance and be grateful to their master."

It seems to confirm this sentence, and the number of breaths passed by has passed.

Lively commotions appeared all over Qiantang County, and then cheers began to resound one after another in every neighborhood, lane, and alley.

reason?

It's still the same powerful demons who beat gongs and drums and go door to door, only this time they no longer want to cut meat or feed Tai Sui millet.

Instead, it distributes real food and even money.

Regardless of whether they are southerners, Han people, or wealthy civilians, they have all received great benefits.

Rain and dew all soaked!

The whole city rejoices!

In less than half an hour, under the witness of Ge Xian, Lu Hualong's nickname was changed from "County Magistrate of Cutting Stock" to "Magistrate of Rende County".

The county residents who had originally planned to take advantage of the city gates to open today to escape from Qiantang, not surprisingly, changed their minds one by one.

Everyone believes that in this troubled world where human life is at stake, Qiantang County governed by Lu Hualong is a paradise-like existence.

……

If Ge Xian didn't know the reason behind it, he might think so after seeing this scene.

Unfortunately, he knew it, so he just felt it was ridiculous and hard to describe.

He lowered his eyebrows and could do nothing but wait silently.

Another dozen breaths passed, but he didn't expect any danger, and no demon fox came.

Suddenly, I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that I had passed the test last night.

Although now, we have to face another hurdle.

On the way to the main street, Ge Xian also saw other salesmen and foot traders being escorted forward by the ghost government servants. The number of people was getting larger and larger. As expected, they had gathered together a large-scale operation, all managed by the salesmen, foot traders and a few skilled workers. A preaching team composed of street vendors who yelled at each other.

Different from the joyful expressions of the county residents, everyone in the propaganda team had sad faces.

It seems that he is not going to preach the virtues of the county, but going to the execution ground and be beheaded.

Ge Xian also knows the reason?

Without him, the danger would be too great.

There is a clear warning in the original memory: wherever non-human races gather, whether it is in the wilderness, mountains and valleys, or secret forests and river swamps, there are demons ambushing, ghosts wandering, or there are all kinds of incomprehensible and indescribable horrors. Elephant, no matter which one can easily kill a person.

Although it is a populated place, it is not much safer, at least it has an extra layer of protection.

Those ghost government officials made it clear that the propaganda team wanted to gather the refugees from all directions outside Qiantang County, so naturally they had to go to all areas.

In this way, they have to endure countless dangers.

It is not unusual to go out in the morning as a living person and come back as a corpse in the evening.

Unlike them, Ge Xian was not that worried in his heart. His extraordinary perception was turned on, and surprising feedback appeared:
"Good guy!"

"One, two, three... there are dozens of completely different [Enter Dao Realm] extraordinary auras hidden in the darkness."

"This guy Lu Hualong really knows how to do business. He knows about sustainable development. Not only has he organized a propaganda team, but he also has a security team."

"The two scoundrels headed by..."

With thoughts flickering in his mind, Ge Xian looked towards the front of the preaching team.

It seems that they are also two government officials, but they are obviously one level higher than the others. The two ghosts introduced themselves and called them "Zhang Yu" and "Zhao Wuyou" respectively. When they were still human beings, they were Lu Hualong's capable generals. After becoming a ghost, he gained extraordinary powers and truly entered the Tao.

After the team gathered together, the two ghosts saw the fear in the hearts of the dealers and foot traders.

They looked at each other, sneered, and then said to everyone:
"Don't panic. You all belong to my master. Even if you go outside Qiantang County, there is no room for monsters to eat you."

"Brothers, please show up so that these salesmen can feel at ease."

"So that when I tell my master about his merits later, I won't even have the strength to do it."

Before he finished speaking, in this broad daylight, the two ghosts transformed in unison.

Two fishy odors with different tastes suddenly erupted. In the ghostly mist and smoke, I first saw that the one on the left who was not taller than him suddenly reached more than ten feet, his flesh and blood swelled, his belly popped open like a huge meat bag, and his bloody mouth fell to his chest. , the ghost teeth are intertwined inside, as if any flesh and blood can be stuffed into it, it is clearly a [dead ghost].

Zhao Wuyou on the right has also grown to more than ten feet tall, but his skin and flesh are shriveled, bone spurs are everywhere, a pair of ghost eyes are glowing with blood, and his mouth is like a bottomless pit, filled with the desire for food. He is actually a [starving ghost] .

Ge Xian, who was already aware of this, was immediately frightened when he saw this:

"I heard that it is difficult for ghosts to practice cultivation. It is easy for humans to transform into wandering ghosts. However, if they want to transform into powerful alien ghosts, the conditions are extremely harsh."

"I don't know what kind of resources Lu Hualong spent to cultivate these two strange ghosts..."

Ge Xian was only slightly shocked, while the other salesmen and foot traders were shocked.

Some were panicked and couldn't bear to run away.

But the next moment, ripples appeared in the void around the preaching team, and the figures of monks, each with their own strange features and looking different from the human race, showing some signs of demonization, appeared at the same time.

Ge Xian also pretended to be panic, but inadvertently scanned the dozens of completely different monks that were rarely gathered together.

At the same time that my knowledge was greatly enhanced, a new conclusion came to my mind, and I just sighed:
"Lu Hualong, Magistrate of Lu County, is an outstanding person."

"Knowing that my husband and wife are selling [Qiantang County], they may not have enough confidence, so they have dragged in all the wealthy gentry in the entire county."

"The ruling class is so good at raising pigs and selling cities together."
