Chapter 23 Grabbing business(1/2)

The next day, Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren gathered early at the gate of Jianzong Mountain, but Wei Shengsheng was the only one who arrived late.

The two couldn't help but stare at Wei Shengsheng. They agreed to meet in the early morning, and it was almost noon!

Moreover, the health personnel also carried many bottles and cans tied with hemp ropes, containing some liquids.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaoluo curiously looked at the bottles and cans on Wei Sheng's body.

"Oil?" Qin Ren's nose was so good that he immediately asked what was in the bottle.

Wei Sheng nodded.

"What are you doing with the oil?" Zhang Xiaoluo was even more surprised.

"Why don't you go down the mountain to slay demons? You two can fight, but I can't. I have to find some means of self-defense." Wei Shengsheng said.

"So you just bring these oil bottles?" Zhang Xiaoluo's mouth twitched. Did Wei Sheng really think of himself as a oil bottle?

These oil bottles are somewhat suitable for the occasion.

"It will be useful when the time comes! The power of books is infinite!" Wei Sheng took out a book from his arms and patted it twice with his hand.

The text in this book was a bit strange. Zhang Xiaoluo glanced at it a few times and found that he couldn't understand it at all.

"What kind of bird writing is this?" Qin Ren couldn't understand it either, and muttered with his brows furrowed.

"This was brought to me by a friend from far away. It contains many interesting things. I learned these weapons from it," Wei Sheng said.

"You call this oil bottle a weapon?" Qin Ren immediately became happy.

Zhang Xiaoluo also covered his mouth and snickered.

"Hmph! When you see its power, I'll see if you will still laugh at it!" Wei Sheng snorted softly and arranged the bottles and jars on his body very preciously.

Zhang Xiaoluo and Qin Ren looked at each other and shrugged.

The group of three people bowed towards the top of the mountain. There was a figure there, and Yu Qianhua was watching them leave.

At the foot of Tianshan Jianzong Mountain is Tianshan Village.

However, their destination this time is not Tianshan Village. No blind demons and ghosts dare to come to Tianshan Village to cause trouble. Those who dare to come are all old people who are dissatisfied with their longevity.

Therefore, their destination was another village sixty miles away from Tianshan Village, called Tianxin Village.

This time the target is a tiger demon.

There are many kinds of monsters, monsters are monsters, demons are devils, ghosts are ghosts, and monsters are monsters.

But when ordinary people see it, they will collectively call it a monster.

"Qin Ren, this is a tiger demon. Is he from the same clan as you?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"A little demon deserves to be from the same clan as me?" Qin Ren curled his lips, as if he was very noble.

There are only a hundred households in Tianxin Village, so it is still relatively small. When Zhang Xiaoluo and the others arrived, there were almost no people on the dirt roads in Tianxin Village.

The appearance of the tiger demon caused panic in the entire Tianxin Village. Everyone hid at home and did not dare to come out.

Except for having to go out to obtain necessary survival supplies, the furthest distance they go is to their own yard.

Zhang Xiaoluo wanted to ask a villager, so he immediately went to a house and knocked on the door.

However, Zhang Xiaoluo knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded.

"Hello, is anyone at home? We are from the Sword Sect and are here to help you subdue the demons." Zhang Xiaoluo shouted loudly.

Perhaps after hearing Zhang Xiaoluo talk about Jian Zong, someone from this family finally responded.

A crack in the door was opened, and an old man wearing a bamboo hat poked his head out.

After seeing clearly that the visitors were two teenagers and a young man who looked like a scholar, he seemed to be slightly relieved.

"What's the matter with you guys?" the old man asked in a calm tone.

"Old uncle, we are disciples of the Sword Sect. We heard that there was a tiger demon causing trouble in Tianxin Village, so we came here to slay the demon." Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"Disciples of the Sword Sect, come in, come in." The old man waved to Zhang Xiaoluo and the others.

The door was fully opened, and Zhang Xiaoluo could see clearly that there were three other people in the yard.

One of them is an old woman, probably the old man's wife.

There was also a girl in her twenties and a boy of thirteen or fourteen.

The old woman held a hoe in her hand, the girl held a broom in her hand, and the young man held a spatula tightly in his hand.

"Old man, what do they do?" the old woman asked with a vigilant look.

"Disciples of the Sword Sect are here to eliminate demons for us!" the old man said, nodding his head.

"A demon slayer?" The old woman looked at Zhang Xiaoluo and others with a suspicious expression.

Zhang Xiaoluo took a step forward, and was about to explain the identity of himself and others seriously again, when he saw the young man also took a step forward, stopping in front of the old woman and his sister, holding the spatula horizontally in his hand, staring at Zhang Xiaoluo eagerly.

.

Zhang Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stepped forward. He first saluted the three of them and then said, "We are disciples of the Sword Sect. My name is Zhang Xiaoluo, his name is Qin Ren, and his name is Wei Shengsheng."

"Sword Sect disciples all have identity cards. Where are your identity cards?" The young man arched his body, as if he would pounce on him at any time and fight for his life.

Zhang Xiaoluo took out his identity card, Qin Ren and Wei Shengsheng also took out their identity cards and waved them in front of the young man.

The young man squinted his eyes for a while and then relaxed his guard a little.

"I'll pour the tea." The old woman thought for a moment, put down the weapon in her hand, and turned back to the house to get the tea set.

The girl leaned the broom in her hand against the wall, then came over and brushed off the fallen leaves on the bench in the yard.

The set of tables and chairs in the yard are made of wooden piles, and the table is a pile connected to the roots of an old tree.

When this tree was alive, three adults could hardly hug it.

The old woman brought tea from the house, and the girl stood aside. The old man called the three of them to sit down. The young man still looked a little wary, holding the spatula under his arm and standing coldly beside his sister.

Zhang Xiaoluo and the other three were seated. As soon as the old woman put down the tea, there were footsteps outside the door.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a sloppy beard and ragged clothes walking in.

The young man immediately became extremely vigilant, held the spatula in his hand again, and pointed his body at the man walking in from the door.

"The person who came here is not good." Qin Ren said in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaoluo and the other three stood up again and faced the man walking towards the door.

"Who are you?" It was the old man who spoke first, asking about the man's background.

"Bei Wushan, Ma Jinxian." The man announced his identity.

"Beiwu Mountain? Ma Family?" Wei Sheng narrowed his eyes. With his rich knowledge, he obviously knew the man's specific origin.

"It turns out he is the Heavenly Master of the Ma family." The old man suddenly beamed.

"People from Jianzong?" Ma Jinxian looked at Zhang Xiaoluo and others and asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoluo nodded and found that Ma Jinxian's eyes were a bit sharp, but he did not retreat.

"Old man, what's going on?" Qin Ren asked.

"This Master Ma was specially invited by us to slay demons," the old man said.

Zhang Xiaoluo and the other three were stunned for a moment. It turned out that Tianxin Village had already invited people, so their coming this time would be unnecessary.

means?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't help but complain a little. The old man Yu Qianhua didn't do any investigation in advance. He had already hired someone himself.

"Even if you can conquer demons and eliminate demons, you will be robbed of your business." Qin Ren muttered.

"It's not a robbery. If you don't collect money, it's not a business." Ma Jinxian said.

"What the master said makes sense." Zhang Xiaoluo thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Yes, if you don’t charge money, it’s not called business, but doesn’t it mean that it’s not stealing business?

"No, don't care. After finishing this job, we can get the reward when we go back!"

"If we hadn't taken in that evildoer, wouldn't we have been able to receive the reward? So this was business grabbing!" Qin Ren said.

"It seems so!" Zhang Xiaoluo blinked his eyes and said, this task of subduing demons and slaying demons really cannot be given up.

Ma Jinxian naturally heard the conversation between the two, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder between the two groups.

Ma Jinxian doesn’t accept money? Yes, of course he doesn’t, but he does accept some local specialties!

Chicken, duck, fish, meat and goose, isn’t this also white money in disguise?

The old man noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he smiled and pulled the four of them to sit down and chat while drinking.

However, the four people who sat down still remained silent.

"Brother, survival is not easy, can you give me a way to survive?" It was Ma Jinxian who said it first.

The Ma family in Beiwu Mountain is quite famous in the world, and specializes in the work of subduing and slaying demons.

There are no less than a thousand people in the Ma family, including the disciples. It is naturally not easy to run such a large family.
