Hong Kong Comprehensive Report: Dragon is in Hong Kong, he just wants to be a plutocrat

Chapter 220 The weird county town

Arriving at a two-story restaurant, a waiter sat on the wooden platform in front of the store and dozed off. Jiang Tianen deliberately made some noise to wake up the dozing waiter. The waiter trembled and was awakened. When he saw Jiang Tianen stopping at the door, he knew that there was business coming. He stepped forward with an apologetic smile on his face and said: "I'm sorry, this guest, but I didn't get a good rest from the nightmare last night. I would like to ask whether you should eat or drink."

"Have both. Serve me a good meal, open a room, prepare fodder eggs and feed my horse."

"Okay, dear guest! Please come in." The waiter at the store enthusiastically guided the guests inside.

This kind of person who carries a knife and straddles a horse can be identified as a person from the world at a glance. The waiter in the shop likes to entertain such distinguished guests. This kind of person can tip more for less.

He observed that although the countryside in this part of the world was plagued by demons, the city was sparsely populated but not infested by demons, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Apart from the panda eyes caused by poor rest, there were no other abnormalities.

Window seat on the second floor of the hotel

"Sir, your dishes are ready, please wait." Four dishes and one soup were placed on the table, including soy sauce beef, beggar's chicken, steamed sea bass, seasonal vegetables, and an ordinary egg soup.

The small county town is short of products, so these dishes are the best the inn can provide. But it smelled pretty good. Just as Jiang Tianen was about to take off his chopsticks, he seemed to remember something and stopped the waiter who was about to turn around and leave.

"This little brother, I'm new here and I have something I want to ask about." After saying that, he took out three silver beans from his pocket and put them on the table, making the waiter's eyes look seductive. Jiang Tianen smiled when he saw this scene, "Well said, these are all given to you."

Hearing that the guest was so generous, the waiter came back to his senses and patted his chest and promised, "Sir, you can ask as many questions as you want. I will tell you everything you know."

"Okay! Let me ask you, second brother, if anything unusual has happened in Dingyuan County recently."

When the waiter heard Jiang Tianen's question, he tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Abnormal situation? I heard that a rooster outside the city began to utter human words, and repeated incomprehensible crows. It kept repeating something; there was a seventy-year-old man in the city. The old woman's withered tree bloomed, and the old clam held pearls; the county's second son suddenly said that he looked like a man on the outside but was a woman on the inside, and asked everyone not to discriminate against him based on his gender, and that...

"Stop it! Stop it! I don't want to hear these strange rumors about old clams, LGBT, etc. I'm referring to supernatural phenomena, unusual things that happen suddenly." Jiang Tianen had a black line on his forehead. This man from the medieval era Like people on Earth who love gossip.

The waiter in the shop suddenly thought of something and let out a surprised sound: "Sir, if you want to talk about something unusual suddenly, there is something really unusual. Recently, for some reason, everyone has been having nightmares when they sleep at night, which makes everyone wake up in the morning. I feel listless when I wake up. I heard that going to the Shrine of the Immortal Lotus Goddess to ask for a talisman can help you sleep. I also discussed with my boss to ask for one if I am not busy in the next two days."

"It's the Immortal Lotus Mother again! This sect must not be simple." When Jiang Tianen heard about this matter and was related to the Immortal Lotus Mother Cult, he suddenly had some guesses in his mind.

At this moment, there was a noise outside, "Huang Tian is about to die, the sky is about to be born, the lotus mother is coming down to earth, all evils are away! Huang Tian is about to die, the sky is about to be born, the lotus mother is coming down to earth, all evils are away! Huang Tian When you are about to die, the sky will be reborn, the Lotus Mother descends to earth, and all evils will be dispersed!" The slogan of the Inanimate Lotus Mother Sect downstairs circulated.

When the waiter heard this, his face lit up with joy, and he bowed to Jiang Tianen with both hands, "This Young Master Wusheng Lotus Mother has given out talisman water. She only gives it out once a month. It can ward off evil spirits and cure diseases. The little one didn't get it last time. This time I can't miss it anymore, this young master is neglecting me." After saying that, he stood up and left in a hurry, not forgetting to take away the three silver beans on the table before leaving.

Jiang Tianen couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw this scene. He got up from the dining table and went to the window to look down.

Downstairs, a group of people wrapped in red smocks recited teachings, scattered flower petals with their hands, and moved forward slowly, surrounded by fanatical people.

This sect behaves so unusually, and there are so many people there during the day, so I will wait until late at night to investigate. At this time, I first go to the Iron Palm Bagua Sect to visit.

After a modest lunch at the inn, the waiter at the downstairs shop must have come back asking for talisman water. The talisman water was packed in a small wooden gourd. The waiter took it with him very seriously. Jiang Tianen asked him about it. Tie Zhang walked out of the Bagua Gate.

I learned from the waiter in the shop that the Tiezhang Bagua Sect is one of the largest sects in this county and surrounding counties. Although it is not as famous as the Nine Sects, it is still a dominant figure in this three-acre area. Its sect has two techniques. Jue, firstly, his arms are indestructible and extremely powerful. When he reaches the peak of practice, his arms are even red. Every punch and palm has great penetrating power, and he can destroy the enemy when he fights against them; secondly, his Bagua walking body The method is unpredictable. You can quickly get close to the enemy, or you can quickly retreat. As the saying goes, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. The leader of the sect, Lu Jin, has practiced these two skills to the core. He is famous in the world and has many disciples. There are countless people, and even the county master will give him three points of thin noodles when he meets him.

It's just that the Iron Palm Bagua Sect has been a bit uneasy in the past year. The leader Lu Jin disappeared a year ago. His disciples went out one after another and had troubles. The true disciples died and scattered. The only remaining members of the Nuo Da sect were his girl Lu Qingzhou and his wife. Several old servants at home took care of him, which made people sigh with regret.

The Iron Palm Bagua Gate is a few miles away from the inn in the east of the city. Jiang Tianen did not choose to ride a horse. He planned to go around this small city to collect information and familiarize himself with the terrain.

First, he came to the county government office. The county government office was dilapidated and had not been repaired for a long time. There were only a few government officials guarding the gate of the government office carelessly. Jiang Tianen looked at it and shook his head secretly. The county government here was either stupid and incompetent or was being used like a puppet. Control, trying to get intelligence or early warning from this government is undoubtedly a useless effort.

Passing through the county town and arriving at the south gate, the Shrine of the Goddess of the Ashen Lotus Goddess is even more magnificent than the government office. The land area alone is several times larger than the county government office. There are several flower tables standing at the door, with prayers and blessings on them. Religious flags flutter in the wind. There were even more believers gathering at the entrance. Jiang Tianen observed for a while and then lined up with the believers to enter. There were no clergy in the temple. The believers who were walking through the city before seemed to disappear out of thin air. There were two rows of faceless stone statues of flying gods carved into the temple. In the middle was There is a huge statue with five hearts facing the sky, holding a meditation bottle in one hand and holding flowers in the other hand, and the face is carved into the shape of a loving mother. The believers kowtow three times and bow nine times under this statue while chanting words. It seems that the Innocent Lotus Mother here is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people here only know the temple but not the government.

Jiang Tianen walked out of the Shrine of the Immortal Lotus Mother with a heavy heart. Some bad speculations came to his mind. These were just speculations and needed to be confirmed by collecting information. Now he went to the last destination.

In the east of the city, where the Tiezhang Bagua sect is stationed, two eight-foot giant stone lions stand like door gods on both sides of the gate. The sect has high walls and deep courtyards, and the vermilion gate is tightly closed. Just from the outside, you can tell that this sect has once It was also a moment of glory.

Jiang Tianen walked up the steps to the door, knocked, knocked, and knocked on the copper ring. After a long time, an old voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

"Jiang Tian'en, a descendant of Jianghu, is here to visit." There was a moment of silence inside the door, and the old voice still came: "Please forgive me, young hero, our door has suddenly suffered a disaster, and we have been closed to thank guests for a long time. I still hope to see Haihan."

Jiang Tianen did not press for a meeting, and the puzzle in his mind was slowly being completed. One of the two largest violent organizations in the same place was weak and indifferent to worldly affairs, and the other was almost wiped out. It was clear who benefited the most.

After walking around the city for a long time and returning to the inn room, the half-day journey around the city was not in vain. What I saw and done made me have the answer in my heart, and I waited until late at night to go to the temple to find out.

Late at night, Jiang Tianen got up from his meditation. He walked out of the inn through the darkness of the night, electromagnetic waves spurted out from his toes, and his body was suspended in the air. From a high place, he observed that the entire county had fallen into darkness. His extraordinary hearing could even hear the sound falling into the air. The residents of the nightmare made sounds of pain, and this county turned out to be so weird late at night.

There was no moonlight in the sky, and without extraordinary eyesight, it would have been really dark to see at this time of night.

Suddenly, a figure wearing black night clothes and covering his face came out from the Iron Palm Bagua Gate in the east of the city. This person walked over the eaves and walls of a house without making a sound. Judging from her body shape, it was obvious that she was a woman. Could it be that she was Lu from the Iron Palm Gang? Light boat?

He floated calmly in mid-air, far behind the figure. The route of this figure was obviously directed towards the Wutian Lotus Mother Shrine. It actually had the same goal as Jiang Tianen. His figure slowly landed on the Huabiao of the shrine. Silently watching Lu Qingzhou roll into the shrine.

Lu Qingzhou was very anxious. His father had been missing since he went out to visit friends a year ago. This year, his father was absent, and the sect was inexplicably blocked. Three true disciples under his father's name, who were his senior brothers, died one after another. For some unknown reason, other disciples in the sect were so frightened that they left one after another. The Nuomen sect actually fell apart within a year, and he was just clinging to the old house and struggling to maintain it. Some time ago, an acquaintance told him that in the temple When I saw someone with a body similar to my father, I was very excited at the time, but I was disappointed as much as I hoped. I visited the shrine several times during the day, but I didn't see any so-called person with a body similar to my father.

If it was really his father, why didn't he go home, and why did he sit back and watch the sect fall apart? This sect was his father's life-long effort, and he regarded the sect as more important than his own life.

Lu Qingzhou secretly discussed with the three generations of loyal servants in his family that someone should be targeting them secretly, otherwise he would not be able to explain the incidents that happened one after another in the Unreasonable Sect. Lu Jin was very likely to be controlled by people in the temple. During the day, everything in the temple was as usual and no one could be found. If there is a flaw, then visit the temple at night to see if my father is being controlled.

At a young age, the girl practiced the family Bagua Step to such perfection that she climbed over a three-meter high wall like a cat and made no sound when she landed.

There was no sound inside the temple. What was even more strange was that during the day, many believers disappeared out of thin air. What was also strange was that the grass inside the temple was dense and there were many flower beds. It was obviously midsummer and there should be insects. The sound is loud, but it's unusually quiet here.

The girl was anxious and walked around the temple. There was nothing in the side hall except faceless stone statues. Then she saw the central hall was brightly lit, and she slowly approached using the terrain. There was a red-robed believer kneeling and chanting sutras. arts.

Lu Qingzhou didn't care about being exposed and drew out a single sword and put it on the neck of the congregant. The congregant seemed to have had a premonition and was not afraid at all. He even turned back to look at the girl. It didn't matter this time, he looked at the girl with half of his petrified face. The strange face almost scared the girl out of her hand.

The girl calmed down and secretly swallowed a sip of saliva. She had reached this point and had no way to retreat. She took out her father's portrait and asked, "I don't want to hurt you. Have you seen the person in the portrait? Someone once said that he appeared here. .”

The congregant with a half-petrified face looked at the portrait and said, "Isn't this the leader Lu?"

Hearing that this man recognized his father, Lu Qingzhou felt happy. This was the right time. He suppressed his joy and deliberately lowered his sword to threaten: "Since we know him, where is he?"

"Headmaster Lu has converted to my religion and will no longer interfere with worldly affairs. I advise the girl to go back here."

"Impossible! I don't believe it! My father is not such a person, you lied! Take me to see my father, I want to ask him face to face!" Lu Qingzhou shook his head like a rattle, obviously not believing the one-sided words of this congregant.

The stone-faced congregant looked deeply at the girl: "Donor, do you have the courage to come with me to meet your father?"

The girl who was stimulated could not notice that this person's context was wrong. She nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course I want to see you."

After that, the two of them left the middle hall one after another. What Lu Qingzhou didn't know was that six eyes appeared strangely in the two rows of faceless statues behind him, and they turned around, and finally stared viciously at the girl's back. The girl suddenly shivered as if being swept by a cold wind. She looked back with a feeling, and saw that the faceless statue returned to normal, as if the six eyes just now were an illusion.

When the young girl was chatting with the church members, Jiang Tianen opened her aperture to observe. It was obvious that this church member was a six-eyed monster, but he didn't know how to disguise himself as a human being.

When the girl followed him and left, Jiang Tianen thought in his heart that this girl was too reckless.

No longer hesitating, he jumped into the middle hall, and in the blink of an eye, the girl and the congregation disappeared without a trace.

Heaven opens from the orifice! Opening the acupoint again, in the sight of Tiancong acupoint, the entire middle hall became ghostly. The white tiger star power sensed the evil atmosphere and was eager to move inside the body. It was clearly a wall that kept fluctuating in the vision. This was a trick!

This shrine was indeed polluted, and he wanted to save the girl quickly. Jiang Tianen drew out the Soul-Severing Knife and stepped over the illusory wall without hesitation.

Lu Qingzhou followed the stone-faced congregants through the middle hall. Mortals could not see through the illusory wall. In her eyes, she just stepped over the wooden threshold. The moment she crossed, there was an inexplicable fluctuation in front of her eyes. When she looked up again, The originally unoccupied backyard suddenly changed its surrounding environment. This is not the same backyard as before of the shrine!
