Ye Zhiqiu gave a bitter smile and sighed: "General Qin Qi has really good eyesight."
Qin Shaoyou was confused by his reaction.
This expression... doesn't seem like he's praising someone.
Before Qin Shaoyou asked, Ye Zhiqiu took the initiative to explain: "Before I came to Mianyuan County, I made a bet with Mr. Qianhu, betting that you could see through Xiaoqing that she is a monster and not a human... Oh, Xiaoqing is Cen Biqing.
, the nickname we gave her."
Qin Shaoyou understood: "So, you bet that I can't see through it? How much did you lose?"
Ye Zhiqiu sighed: "Master Qianhu said that you can definitely see through it, but I thought that Xiaoqing follows us every day, has gained a lot of popularity, and carries special supernatural items with him, so it is impossible for you to see through it. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated him.
Because of you, Master Qianhu won a month’s salary from me.”
"One month's salary? You're betting really big."
Qin Shaoyou thought to himself that Zuo Qianhu made this bet with Ye Zhiqiu. Wasn't he deliberately taking back the employees' salaries?
But Zuo Qianhu seems to have quite a lot of confidence in me? But why is this? Is it just because of the praise of my third brother-in-law?
"Don't mention it. I thought I could make some money from Master Qianhu, so I was willing to bet bigger. I didn't expect that the person who lost in the end was myself..."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Then he tapped Cen Biqing with his chin and introduced in a low voice: "You are right, Xiaoqing is indeed a demon, and her true form is a green snake."
"It turns out to be a snake spirit."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said to himself: "This waist, these legs, this figure... you are truly worthy of a snake spirit."
Cui Youyou was playing with the damaged supernatural objects in his hands. When he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "Does the Demon Suppression Department still accept spirits as night watchmen?"
"What's so strange about this?" Ye Zhiqiu said, "People are divided into good and bad people, and monsters are naturally divided into good and evil. Like Xiaoqing, although he is a monster, he has an innocent heart. He is not only righteous but also hates evil. Many people
Not as good as her, and very consistent with the purpose of our Demon Suppression Department, why can't we take her in as a night watchman? Aren't there many spirits among the gods?"
Qin Shaoyou echoed: "Yes, an eminent monk once said that humans are born of human beings, and demons are born of demons. When a person has a compassionate heart, he is no longer a demon. Same thing.
Reason, when a person loses his humanity, even though he is still staring at human skin, he cannot be considered a human being."
Cui Youyou said nothing, nodded slightly, and then sighed again.
But he remembered the snake spirit that he got rid of back then.
It was also a snake spirit with a benevolent heart, saving people and saving countless lives.
What a pity...
Ye Zhiqiu felt guilty, but since he mentioned Cen Biqing, he gave a brief introduction:
"The process of Xiaoqing joining our Demon Suppression Division was quite bumpy.
In the beginning, when she was still a snake, because of her fierce temper and strong poisonous nature, she was spotted by the Gu Master and was captured to refine the Gu.
As a result, during the process of refining, she opened her spiritual orifices and gained wisdom. The Gu master was immediately happy to see her. After all, after many years of cultivating Gu, this was the first time she had seen a demon become a demon.
So he was not in a hurry to let her harm others, but kept her by his side and put a lot of effort into teaching her the cultivation method and the art of voodoo.
Later, the Gu Master was killed by Lord Qianhu and the night watchmen because he used evil methods to seek wealth and death, and Xiao Qing was also captured.
At that time, a Buddhist monk followed to exterminate the poison. When he saw Xiaoqing turning into a demon, he planned to put her into a Buddhist bowl and bring her into the pagoda to suppress her.
However, Master Qianhu took pity on her for opening her spiritual aperture and it was not easy to enter the spiritual practice. Furthermore, he saw that her heart was as pure as a child and she had never been contaminated by human life. Although she had practiced sorcery, she was seduced by the guidance of the Gu Master, so she stopped the eminent Buddhist monk.
, brought Xiaoqing back to Zhouzhen Yaosi.
Of course, Mr. Qianhu did not engage in malpractice for personal gain. Instead, he put Xiaoqing in prison in accordance with the law. While letting her serve her sentence, he personally taught her what is good and evil, what is good and bad, and established the correct path for her.
Three Views……
When Xiaoqing finished serving her sentence, Lord Qianhu wanted to let her go, but she refused to leave and said she wanted to stay in the Demon Suppression Department as a night watchman.
At that time, this matter caused quite a bit of controversy.
In the end, Master Qianhu made the decision and asked Xiao Qing to burn incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch. As a result, after applying incense, Xiao Qing was not only not suppressed by the Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch Statue, but was able to stably maintain his human form because of the incense entering his body.
Already.
Now, no one is gossiping anymore, and Xiaoqing has officially become a night watchman, and will be taught by Master Qianhu himself. She is also very successful, and has uncovered many cases, and now she is a general bannerman like you.
This time when she came to Mianyuan County to investigate the drought, Lord Qianhu appointed her to join the team, saying that she was good at finding people and things and could be of great help to the investigation..."
When he mentioned the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, Ye Zhiqiu's face showed a trace of panic involuntarily.
It can be seen that after Qin Shaoyou and others left, he probably made the Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch Statue dissatisfied and was punished.
But what Qin Shaoyou paid attention to was the last sentence he mentioned.
Cen Biqing is good at finding people and things, so why let her come to Mianyuan County?
Did Zuo Qianhu really just ask her to investigate the drought, or did he want her to investigate other cases as well?
For example, what happened on the night of the third day of March on the banks of the Raft River?
Of course, these are just Qin Shaoyou's guesses.
Whether Cen Biqing comes with other tasks depends on what she will do next.
But this Cen Biqing is really not easy.
But Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but mutter: Why does it feel like Zuo Qianhu raised Cen Biqing as his daughter?
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what Qin Shaoyou was thinking. After talking about Cen Biqing's situation, he licked his lips and asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, how did you know that Xiao Qing is a monster and not a human being?
"
"You can't tell by seeing it, you can tell by smelling it," Qin Shao said.
"Smell?" Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but frown, "Xiaoqing doesn't have a demonic smell on her body."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and did not elaborate.
He couldn't tell Ye Zhiqiu that what I smelled was not a monster smell, but a fragrance, a fragrance that I admired very much.
If he said this, he would be regarded as an old pervert like Zhu Xiucai.
Speaking of which, the fragrance on Cen Biqing's body is very similar to that of Su Tingyu. Although it makes Qin Shaoyou want to eat it, he still appreciates it more.
Appreciation of beautiful things.
This is different from those evil spirits that poison living beings.
Qin Shaoyou only has the most primitive and direct appetite for those evil spirits.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, when did you send someone to report to the Demon Division of Zhouzhen?"
Before Qin Shaoyou entered the nine-story underground palace, he planned to send a message to the night watchmen staying in the Dragon King Temple to tell them the next action arrangements.
"It was sent the day before yesterday." Ye Zhiqiu answered truthfully.
"The day before yesterday?" Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but frown.
It seems that the reinforcements from the Zhou Town Demon Division cannot wait. After all, it takes two or three days to walk from Luocheng to the state capital, not to mention starting from Mianyuan County.
After hearing Qin Shaoyou's worries, Ye Zhiqiu shook his head.
"What you are counting is the time it takes to travel, but the person I sent back to deliver the message not only rode a fast horse, but also tied the horse's legs with magic charms. As long as there are no accidents on the road, he will be able to deliver the message early this morning
Deliver it to Lord Qianhu."
"It's too late. The reinforcements from the Zhouzhen Demon Division can't reach Mianyuan County within one day."
"We can get there. Even if everything goes well, we can get there tonight. Because the Monster Department in Zhouzhen not only has magical talismans, but also can invite the great scholars in the state school to give the horses the words and magic. Those great scholars said
If you say that, you can make the horses travel thousands of miles a day. Although doing so will have side effects, refining and raising corpses is a big case, enough for the Qianhu Lords to send people to come as quickly as possible, no matter the cost."
"If that's the case, that would be great."
Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up instantly.
If the reinforcements sent by Zuo Qianhu can really arrive in Mianyuan County tonight, plus the support sent by the third brother-in-law after receiving the news, then the confidence and certainty of taking action on his own will be much greater.
He immediately asked Ye Zhiqiu for the contact signals agreed with the reinforcements, and recorded them with the paper crane talisman along with the follow-up arrangements.
Then Qin Shaoyou released the paper crane talisman and let it fly underground to deliver the message.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused when he saw this, and couldn't help but ask: "General Qin, didn't you say that using the paper crane symbol to convey information would be interfered with? Why are you still using it?"
