Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 236 Erqing

Then Jiao Peng told his story exactly as it was.

It turns out that after spring started to bloom at the beginning of the year, someone in Fuyang County said that two green-scaled pythons, one large and one small, appeared in the mountain forest southeast of the city. The big one is as thick as a bucket, and the small one is as thick as the mouth of a sea bowl. They often go out together to catch birds and beasts. , so not afraid of people.

Just when people in the county were panicking, and someone had proposed to the county government to recruit people to hunt snakes in the mountains, a snake charmer who was performing on the street stood up and said that although the two green snakes were huge, they would never hurt people. As long as we don't provoke them, everyone will be in peace.

At first people thought he was just talking nonsense, but they didn't know that the snake charmer actually told the origin of the two green snakes.

It turns out that although this snake charmer is originally from Fuyang County, he has been making a living by traveling around the country and making a living with his snake charm skills.

In his early years, he raised two green snakes, one "Da Qing" and the other "Er Qing". The latter had a red dot on his forehead and was especially psychic and tame. He could command him to roam around and hover around his body without any dissatisfaction, earning him a lot of money. Got a lot of money.

Later, when Da Qing died suddenly, Er Qing actually went out on his own initiative and brought back a green snake as a companion. The snake charmer called the newcomer "Xiao Qing" because his intelligence was not inferior to Er Qing's.

After a few years, Erqing grew bigger and bigger. If he continued to cause trouble and perform, it would be shocking to the world, so the snake charmer released it back into the forest and said goodbye to each other.

A few years later, one day when a snake charmer was passing by Dongshan, a large green-scaled python jumped out and entangled him.

The snake charmer was destined to die, but he saw that the big python was just swimming around his body without opening his mouth to devour him. Then he saw a red mark on the top of the big python, and then he recognized that it was Erqing who had been away for several years.

When parting with the two green snakes, the snake charmer told them to only look for food in the mountains and forests from now on and not to harm humans. At that time, both snakes nodded to express their respect for the instructions.

But he means what he says, and the listener also means what he says.

After one person and one snake having a good time making out, Er Qing made a gesture to take Xiao Qing away.

That time, the masters of the "Three Righteous Alliance" came out in full force and set up a deadly trap in the mountains. The snake charmer was responsible for luring two giant pythons into the trap.

After that, the snake charmer could not find a snake that suited his heart, and because he was old, he wanted to return to his roots, so he returned to his hometown of Fuyang County, but he did not expect that the two green snakes also followed him.

Faced with the former, the snake charmer still hesitated; faced with the latter, he finally chose to preserve himself.

When this incident reached the "Sanyi Lian", Jiao Feng and others immediately became greedy.

Later, Jiao Peng ordered the snake charmer to be "invited" to the "Sanyi Lian", luring him with huge profits and threatening his life.

However, although these strange beasts have not yet transformed into demons and possess the means of flying and transformation of demons, the powerful power brought by their huge bodies is the most powerful means, and it is simply not something that a few of them, ninth-level warriors, can handle.

Jiao Peng and his group were as anxious as a bereaved dog. They fled directly out of the mountains and forests without even daring to return to Fuyang County. They fled straight to the most prosperous and prosperous city of Hangzhou and hid in the long-abandoned Prince Qiu's Mansion.

Xiaoqing was already quite big at that time, and the snake charmer also intended to release it, so he opened the bamboo box containing the snake at Erqing's request.

It's a pity that they finally underestimated the intelligence of a demon-transforming beast. Erqing had seen through their plot and was not fooled at all. Perhaps because of his romantic relationship with the snake charmer, he did not attack everyone in turn.

This is the most humane choice, and there is nothing wrong with it.

According to the snake charmer, the big snake named "Er Qing" has definitely opened his spiritual wisdom and is about to turn into a demon. His whole body is full of treasures, especially the snake gallbladder, which is the essence of his body. If he can get it and practice it, Taking the elixir will surely enable them to break through their long-stagnant martial arts cultivation and reach the eighth level of muscle-changing, and even the seventh-level bone forging is not out of reach.

Even though everyone in the "Sanyi Lian" present was a hero who licked the blood with his sword, none of them had any courage to resist at that time. At Jiao Peng's greeting, they dispersed without looking back, and they could still follow the three men. There are only a dozen or so people behind the leader.

Erqing, who arrived later, went crazy on the spot. He first swallowed the snake charmer in one gulp, and then went on a rampage with his head and tail wagging. In an instant, the "Sanyi Lian" was killed and injured.

However, Xiao Qing, regardless of good or evil, heard the snake charmer's call and escaped from Er Qing's care. He ran straight to meet his old friends. As a result, he fell into the trap set by them and was shot by several extremely lethal poisonous crossbow arrows. kill.

But with such huge benefits at hand, even if the risk hits them again, they have to fight again, not to mention that they already know the trump card for dealing with the giant python.

In fact, the snake charmer said this, firstly, to reassure everyone, and secondly, with the intention of showing off his own snake-taming skills to boost his own worth.

When he thought about it, although he could not be a great hermit "hidden from the court", he could be a middle hermit "hidden from the city", which might have unexpected effects.

To say the least, the two young envoys really caught up with them. In this densely populated and prosperous place, it would be difficult to openly show off their mischief.

After hiding like this for a few days, Dong Min took two of his men out to buy food a few days ago, but one of them was stopped by a green-eyed monk on the street. Monk Hu called himself Jiumoda, who came from the Western Regions and was the best at subduing demons. Seeing that Dong Min and the others had demonic auras on their faces, as if they were being entangled by monsters, he stopped them and asked them what happened.

Dong Min was overjoyed and hurriedly told Jiumoda about his past situation and begged him to eradicate the snake demon.

At that time, Jiumoda patted his chest and boasted to Haikou that it was just a shabby snake demon that he could kill with the flip of his hand, but he had to pay three thousand taels of silver.

The "Sanyi Lian" group fled in a hurry and naturally could not collect three thousand taels of silver. Dong Min also asked Jiumoda if he could double the payment after the matter was completed.

Kumaratus solemnly stated that his business was honest and did not require credit. He told him that he was temporarily staying in the Tutu Temple in the east of the city and asked him to collect enough money to come back to find him.

Although Dong Min was helpless, he finally had hope. He hurried back to Prince Qiu's Mansion and informed his two brothers about the matter.

The three brothers discussed carefully and felt that Jumoda should be somewhat trustworthy, so they decided to make a deal on the spot to raise money.

After sending people quietly out to inquire about the news, several large local families, including the Han family, became their alternative targets. It happened that Han Qi was driven to the academy by his father early this morning, so he naturally became the most convenient target.

Who would have thought that Han Qi would become friends with such a troublesome character as Ma Ji, causing his entire army to be wiped out. No wonder Jiao Peng lamented that "the year has been unlucky."

Ma Ji had a strange look on his face and thought to himself: "Er Qing? There seems to be some impression... but where does that Monk Hu come from?"

Han Qi, who was originally hiding far away, came over early and listened to this story with Ma Ji. With a little surprise and fear on his face, he whispered to Ma Ji: "Junren, do you think what they said is true or false? Are there really monsters in this world?"

Ma Ji came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Yutang, don't you hear that 'You don't say anything about monsters and your power can confuse the gods'? No matter it is a monster or a monster, as long as we, the scholars, have a clear conscience, we will naturally be able to accept the strange things without any guilt." It’s his own fault.”

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "What the handsome man said is that I have learned a lesson."

While the two were talking, there was a sound of people shouting and horses neighing outside, and then they saw a large group of county police officers rushing in with lanterns and torches.

Seeing more than a dozen corpses lying sideways, all the detectives jumped. However, the leader was still calm. He raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down. He came to Ma Ji and asked with a somewhat surprised look. : "Is this Ma Ji Ma Xiucai? You sent someone to inform us that a case happened in Prince Qiu's Mansion. I don't know..."

This person's name is Wang Bai, and he is the head of the police team of the Qiantang County Yamen. He is in his thirties and has an old face, but his eyes reveal the shrewdness and sophistication of an old official.

Ma Ji asked Han Qi, first introduced his identity, and then told him about his kidnapping this morning, and then said with a smile: "Wang Capt. Previously, I was entrusted by Han Yuanwai. For the safety of Mr. Han, I only I beg you not to report it for now and investigate the case secretly. In less than a day, Capt. Wang will be able to capture the culprit and rescue Mr. Han, but it’s time to explain the case to the county magistrate."

Wang Bai was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. He still didn't understand that Ma Ji was going to give this credit to him.

Of course, he also understood that when he took over the credit, he also had to help Ma Ji clean up the beginning and the end. He immediately handed over his hand and said: "Wang Bai will bear in mind Mr. Ma's kindness. As for these thieves, I can rest assured, the so-called ' "The human heart is like iron and the official law is like a furnace. I will definitely teach them what to say and what not to say."

After saying this, he waved his hand to greet all the government officials, stepped forward, carried the three injured Jiao Peng and more than a dozen corpses, and left. From the beginning to the end, they did not have any interaction with the people in "Happy Forest" beside them.

After the official cleaning was completed, Ma Ji took Han Qi to express his thanks to Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "We just came to watch the fun, we can't even wave the flag and shout. If the young master says one more word 'thank you', Lao Qiu will be ashamed to death."

Ma Ji also smiled and said: "Good deeds are judged by the heart, regardless of deeds, and evil deeds are judged by the heart, regardless of deeds. If Brother Qiu has this kind of intention, he can deserve this thanks."

"What the handsome man says makes sense!" Han Qi nodded repeatedly, imitating the manners and tone of the heroes in the storybook, and bowed to Qiu Yan, "I also call the handsome man 'Second Brother Qiu'. Anyway, I Han Qi accepts your kindness and is willing to be your friend. If Brother Qiu has something to do in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation, otherwise I will not be considered a hero!"

Based on Qiu Yan's experience, he could certainly see that although Han Qi's demeanor was a bit ridiculous, his words were sincere, and he actually valued this young man who didn't care much at first.

Ma Ji shook his head, raised his hand and patted Han Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This good man, let's not talk about the dangers of life and death in the future. What you have to do now is to go home immediately and report to your anxious parents. Peace."

Han Qi said "Ah!" and was about to raise his hand to pat his forehead, but found that he was still holding the broken pot in his hand. He casually stuffed it into Ma Ji's hand, bowed his hands to everyone, said goodbye, and walked away. Walked out in a hurry.

Qiu Yan saw that Ma Ji was suddenly lost for some reason, so he waved to two of his men to follow him and escort him all the way.
