Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the commotion.
But it was Shilang Zhang who, with two guards and a personal entourage, left the City God's Temple and walked towards them.
Zhang Shilang did not show off his official airs, but told the night watchmen about their hard work all the way.
For the night watchmen of the Yaosi Division in Luocheng Town, Minister Zhang is probably the highest-ranking official they have ever seen in their lives.
Even if he has retired and returned home, in their eyes, he is still an unattainable high official.
Now the unattainable Minister Zhang is thanking them for their hard work, which makes the night watchman very excited, and at the same time a little proud: Even the Minister said thank you to me, I can brag about this awesomeness for the rest of my life!
So, the night watchman who was sitting on the ground and resting quickly got up, and the night watchman who was already standing hurriedly raised his chest and tightened his abdomen, hoping that his most energetic side would be seen by Zhang Shilang.
If he catches the eye of Mr. Zhang and says a few nice words in front of hundreds of adults, wouldn't he be about to take off?
Here, Qin Shaoyou saw Zhang Shilang coming and asked his subordinates: "Where is Zhang Shilang's grandson?"
"I'm holding it." Liao Lishi responded, and raised the dog in his arms so that Qin Shaoyou could see it.
"Is it this dog?" Qin Shaoyou asked in a low voice, afraid of making a mistake.
"It's it, I've been holding it, it can't be wrong." Liao Lishi assured, almost patting his chest.
Qin Shaoyou felt relieved and said, "Very good."
Su Tingyu murmured in a low voice: "Why did this Minister Zhang come to see my grandson now? Isn't he worried at all?"
Zhu Xiucai helped Zhang Shilang by saying something fair: "This is Zhang Shilang's direct grandson, how could he not be worried? But at this time, he can only put public affairs first before private affairs, and deal with the Black Lotus Sect's affairs first.
, let’s deal with personal matters later.”
Monk Ma added: "Besides, Zhang Shilang's grandson is protected by us, so why should he be worried?"
Qin Shaoyou interrupted their discussion: "Stop talking, Zhang Shilang will be here soon."
Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma quickly shut up, and Su Tingyu stopped talking.
Zhang Shilang quickly came closer and saw the dog in Liao Lishi's arms. He visibly trembled, wanting to recognize it but afraid of admitting it wrong.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Zhang Shilang saluted Qin Shaoyou: "Captain Qin... No, I should call you Qin Xiaoqi. I have heard Xue Baihu say that if this case can be solved, you
It should be the first priority."
Qin Shaoyou knew that his brother-in-law deliberately showed his merit in front of Zhang Shilang.
What a good brother-in-law!
He gave Xue Qingshan a thumbs up in his heart and decided that after returning, he would say a few nice words to his brother-in-law in front of his third sister to see if he could help him apply for more pocket money.
At the same time, he returned the greeting and said: "Master Xue is ridiculous, I don't dare to take credit. This case can be solved because of the concerted efforts of everyone in the Demon Department of Luocheng Town, and especially the proper cooperation of Minister Zhang."
Zhang Shilang waved his hand.
He has been an official for so many years, what kind of flattery has he not heard? Qin Shaoyou's business flattery is really not new in his eyes.
He was not in the mood to continue being polite, pointed to the dog held by Liao Lishi, and asked in a trembling voice: "Qin Xiaoqi, my grandson, but...but this dog?"
"Exactly." Qin Shaoyou turned sideways and asked Liao Lishi to hand the dog to Zhang Shilang.
Zhang Shilang hugged the dog, feeling excited and sad at the same time.
I was excited because I finally found my good grandson, and sad because my good grandson was turned into a dog by the demon.
The dog was sleeping. After being held in Zhang Shilang's arms, the dog suddenly woke up. When he saw that the person holding him was Zhang Shilang, he was immediately excited. He wanted to speak, but he could only make a barking sound.
"My poor grandson..."
Zhang Shilang suddenly burst into tears, hugging the dog's head and crying.
At this moment, he was no longer an official minister, nor a country gentleman, but a grandfather who cared about his grandson.
The dog was also whimpering and crying.
Zhang Shilang had a strong sense of self-control. After crying a few times, he held back. While stroking the dog's head for comfort, he asked Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu: "Excuse me, these two Taoist priests.
Can the poor child of a dog ever change back?"
Su Jianqing replied: "The two of us don't have enough cultivation to change them back. We can only take them back to Jade Emperor Temple and ask the teachers to take action. Maybe we can break the evil spell on them."
When Zhang Shilang heard this, he handed the dog to his side and bowed deeply to Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu.
"To all the Taoist priests who have worked hard at Yuhuang Temple, I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of the folks in Mianyuan County."
Then he ordered his followers: "Wen Liang, you go to Jade Emperor Temple with the two Taoist priests. In addition to taking care of the young master, you must obey and carry out the instructions of the two Taoist priests."
"Yes." Zhang Wenliang, holding the dog, bowed and accepted the order.
Zhang Shilang thanked Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others again.
Thank them for saving their own grandchildren and saving these children in Mianyuan County.
Then he was about to leave: "The culprit in Sun Zhi County's secret conspiracy has been arrested, and several other officials involved in the case have also been arrested in the county government. Now the entire county government and even the entire Mianyuan County are panic-stricken, so I have to go to the county government office.
I am temporarily responsible for the work of reassuring the people...I, my grandson, and these poor children in Mianyuan County, please take care of me!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply again.
Everyone quickly returned the gift.
Zhang Shilang finally hugged his grandson who had turned into a dog, patted his dog's head, reluctantly left the City God's Temple under the protection of two guards, and rode to the county government office.
Watching Zhang Shilang leave, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others were secretly excited, and the night watchman on the side cast an envious look at them.
Although from beginning to end, Zhang Shilang never said how he wanted to repay them, everyone knew that Qin Shaoyou and the others were remembered by Zhang Shilang.
Mr. Zhang will definitely repay this life-saving kindness!
What Zhu Xiucai and Ma Monk thought was that they could be promoted and make a fortune in the future, but Qin Shaoyou was wondering, with Zhang Shilang's relationship, would the so-called noble man who valued him be more cautious when he wanted to seduce him again?
But after much thought, he still felt that the noble man would most likely not be affected.
After all, he was just a small person, with very low strength and status. Even if he owed Shilang Zhang a favor, it would not be enough to make the nobleman turn against him.
"You still have to improve your strength!" Qin Shaoyou thought to himself, "Only if you are strong enough, can you survive in this fucked-up world, and be able to deal with it calmly whether it is an attack by monsters or ghosts or a plot by a noble..."
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou suddenly turned his head and looked at Monk Ma and the Su sisters beside him, his eyes bright and fiery.
"Sir, you...what do you want to do?" Monk Ma was very nervous.
The Su sisters were also a little scared.
Su Jianqing immediately stood in front of her sister and formed a seal with her hands. As long as Qin Shaoyou dared to mess around, she would curse him and make Qin Shaoyou taste the taste of beating chickens and flying eggs.
However, Qin Shaoyou did not mess with them, but firmly grabbed Monk Ma's hand.
Zhu Xiucai and others who were watching the excitement were all stunned.
Leaving the Su sisters' smooth little hands untouched, and grabbing the horse monk's rough hands... What kind of weird hobby is this, sir?
Before they could use their imagination to guess, Qin Shaoyou said: "Monk, I think the Buddhist magical power you used before was very powerful. It was the magical power that made your whole body glow and become solid after you formed a seal and recited the curse. Can you teach me?
I?"
Although it was a bit presumptuous to say this, Qin Shaoyou was shameless in order to learn life-saving tricks.
Monk Ma was a little confused when his hand was grabbed, but he still replied: "What are you talking about, sir? The Vajra Armor Seal? If you want to learn it, of course I can teach it, but I can't teach it now..."
"Why?"
"Because you have to find a temple with the Dharma of Skanda Bodhisattva, study it, and whether you can finally learn it depends on your own destiny."
"What is the Dharma of Skanda Bodhisattva?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
Here in Mianyuan County, there seems to be no temple dedicated to Skanda Bodhisattva.
"Then you can teach me when you return to Luocheng. I remember that there seems to be a temple dedicated to Skanda Bodhisattva in Luocheng."
"No problem." Monk Ma clasped his hands together, "Sir, you have a predestined relationship with the Buddha and have great wisdom. You should be able to learn the Vajra Armor Seal."
"I'd like to lend you your kind words." Qin Shaoyou thanked him repeatedly.
In my heart, I thought: As long as I can learn that magical power and recognize my destiny with Buddha, as long as I am not allowed to become a monk...
After making an agreement with Monk Ma, Qin Shaoyou said to the sisters of the Su family: "Two Taoist priests, can you teach me some magic spells?"
Su Jianqing was a little confused: "You are staring at us so directly, do you just want us to teach you the magic of talismans?"
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou nodded, "Of course, if you are willing to teach more, I will be very happy to learn."
Su Tingyu shook his head: "You just need to practice martial arts well. What kind of spells and magic should you learn? Haven't you heard the saying that you can't bite off more than you can chew?"
Qin Shaoyou explained: "I want to learn more skills to avoid being unable to resist black lotus holy fire and other sorcery in the future. Just like today, if you hadn't taken action in time, I'm afraid we,
They will all be burned to death by evil fire."
Su Jianqing complained: "You can't resist because you are too weak!"
Qin Shaoyou: The clown is actually myself?!
Fortunately, Su Jianqing didn't just stab him, but also gave a reason: "When you step into the sixth level of martial arts and cultivate Gang Qi, you can resist evil spells. The Xue Baihu of your Demon Suppression Division is the sixth grade martial artist.
He is a good person, so even the evil fire from the Black Lotus Sect couldn't get close to him."
Su Tingyu was much gentler and just persuaded: "You can learn some magical powers from the monk. His magical powers are the way of a warrior monk. They are of the same origin as a martial artist. There will be no negative effects in learning them. But you have to learn Taoism.
Or other Buddhist magical powers, that would be difficult, and would even slow down your own cultivation progress..."
After listening to the introduction of the two sisters, Qin Shaoyou could only temporarily give up the idea of learning Taoism, lest it really hinder the martial arts practice, which would be more gain than loss.
At the same time, he also set a new goal for himself, that is, to quickly rise to the sixth level of martial arts, practice Gang Qi, and gain more protection for himself to survive in this world.
While everyone was talking, the night watchman caught all the wild dogs in Mianyuan County, put them in cages, and put them on the carriages one by one.
Xue Qingshan, who had been busy with the arrest work, showed up at this time and asked the two sisters of the Su family to return to Yuhuang Temple with the dogs immediately, so as to help them transform back into humans as soon as possible to avoid prolonging the transformation.
Xue Qingshan also arranged for a team of night watchmen to escort him along the way.
Qin Shaoyou and others were also in the escort team.
"Travel less, travel less, I can only help you so far. What happens next depends on your own abilities..."
