Jiang Sou is a wandering musician who makes a living by playing the flute for people in some restaurants in the West Market and earning some money.

Jiang Sou was not his name, it was just a nickname given to him by those who listened to his performance in the West City because he was over fifty years old and had gray hair.

Jiang Sou is a very free and easy person.

If he earns little money today, he will just buy some food. If he earns more money, he will drink some wine. In short, he spends whatever he earns every day without any intention of saving it.

Jiang Sou had good luck today. He met two big benefactors who knew the goods. After getting the money, Jiang Sou had a hearty meal. He drank until the curfew was about to go and then staggered along the West Market.

The streets go south.

When he walked crookedly to the big locust tree in front of Jiahui Fang, he was so drunk that he suddenly felt like the world was spinning. He swayed for a while and fell asleep leaning against the big locust tree.

When Jiang Sou felt that the alcohol had faded slightly, he suddenly heard the sound of thumping footsteps, which was very heavy.

He leaned against the locust tree and reluctantly opened his eyes. He was horrified to find a giant several feet tall walking step by step from a distance. Black mist was hovering around him, like a ghost.

Jiang Sou was very scared, so he closed his eyes and remained motionless, pretending that he was still drunk.

The next moment, he felt a big furry hand touch his head, and then heard a rough voice say.

"I thought it was someone who died of hunger on the roadside, but I didn't expect that it was Bi Zhuo who died by the urn."

Jiang Sou squinted his eyes and remained motionless, pretending that he was still asleep.

In the darkness, he vaguely saw the big hand that had touched him knocking twice on the big locust tree.

"Brother, are you here? Erlang Qinglongfang is here to see you..."

Then Jiang Sou felt the big locust tree he was leaning against shaking a few times. Although he was a little panicked, he still cleverly turned sideways, held his head in his hands and fell asleep on the ground. Then he squinted his eyes and carefully

Checking.

In the darkness, he saw a burst of black mist rising from the big locust tree he was leaning on, and then a giant taller than the giant just now walked out of the tree, facing the giant who came in front.

He arched his hands.

"I'm so grateful for your visit, Brother Lao!"

Then, Jiang Sou saw two giants sitting down under the shade of the locust tree. They also took out some huge cups and plates from the black mist. He didn't know what they contained. Soon, there was news in his ears.

There was the sound of eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking for a while, Jiang Sou heard the giant man who came before and called himself Qinglongfang Erlang said.

"Brother, when are you going to give up this position as King of Jing Zhaohuai?"

As soon as Jiang Sou said this, he saw the body of the giant who came out of the big locust tree he was leaning on stopped eating and drinking. After a few minutes, he heard the voice of the big locust tree reply.

"Just three more years, and then I won't want this position!"

"Brother, you are confused..."

Jiang Sou heard Qinglongfang Erlang say.

"Now that the Taishi Bureau has begun to eliminate me and others, brother, you are still not planning to give up this position. Do you think you have to wait until the fire breaks into the hollow and the anointing flow is cut off before you know that you should retreat?"

"Things shouldn't be that dangerous, right?"

The giant transformed from the locust tree he was leaning on said slowly.

"I heard that the child of the Song family was not touched by the Taishi Bureau, and they even gave her a good demon certificate. Compared with arsonists like her, we should have some merits in hiding, and the Taishi Bureau should not do anything about it.

Let’s move.”

"That's stupid, brother!"

Qinglongfang Erlang said in a stern voice.

"When the people from the Taishi Bureau come to your door, life and death are all in their hands, and they will cut you down. What can you do? It is better to leave Chang'an with your brother and go back to Zhongnan Mountain to hide for a while.

After dozens or hundreds of years, we will come back."

"no!"

The big locust tree shook its head slowly.

"The position of King Jingzhaohuai is related to someone's path, but if there is a glimmer of hope, someone will not leave here."

"Brother, the sparrow is still greedy for life..."

Qinglongfang Erlang advised again.

"You can still find opportunities, but if you turn into ashes, all opportunities will be useless!"

"..."

Jiang Sou lay on the ground and watched the two giants arguing with each other. Just when they couldn't argue, they suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

"Pindao has been watching for a long time. Since you two can't decide..."

Jiang Sou moved his head slightly, then looked over with squinted eyes, and saw a little Taoist priest in white walking straight into the black mist holding a little kitten, and calmly beat the two giants.

Jishou.

"Then how about letting Pindao make the decision for you?"

When Jiang Sou saw the little Taoist priest in white appear, he noticed that the bodies of the two giants actually trembled.

"Don't bother..."

After Qinglongfang Erlang saw the little Taoist priest in white appear, he immediately stood up and took a step back.

"Actually, I and my eldest brother have no differences. The sky is getting brighter. In order not to scare humans, I should go back to Qinglongfang."

As he spoke, the giant turned around and walked forward with bang-bang steps. But before he could take two steps, Jiang Sou saw a flash of fire in the air, turning into a handle of burning fire.

's sword.

Then he heard the little Taoist priest in white say domineeringly.

"Huai Erlang, if you take one more step, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Originally Jiang Sou thought that the terrifying giant would be angry and start a fight with the little Taoist priest in white, but he didn't expect that after seeing the long sword burning with fire, Huai Erlang actually stepped back and honestly

Sit down in your original position again.

His docile look made it seem as if he was not a giant several feet tall, but a shy little lady.

"now it's right!"

The Taoist priest in white touched the little kitten in his arms and looked at the two giants with a gentle smile on his face.

"Originally, Pindao came to see King Huai Dalang of Jingzhao Huai, but he didn't expect that Erlang from Qinglongfang was also there. What a blessing!"

The two giants looked at each other, then lowered their heads at the same time.

Neither of them felt lucky at all.

"Huai Dalang..."

The little Taoist priest in white touched the little kitten in his arms and said calmly.

"Since you are still unable to fully emerge from your shell and cannot appear during the day, Pindao personally came to register you. Now Pindao formally asks you, Huai Dalang, are you willing to support the work of our Taishi Bureau?"

?”

The giant transformed by Huai Dalang did not answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"If you are willing to support the Taishi Bureau, can you get the good demon certificate?"

From an angle that Jiang Sou couldn't see, the corners of the little Taoist priest's mouth twitched slightly.

"That is not a certificate of good spirits, but a 'temporary residence permit for good spirits in Chang'an City'. This is mainly..."

Before the little Taoist priest in white finished speaking, Jiang Sou heard Huai Dalang say in a muffled voice.

"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you issue that good demon certificate to so-and-so, so-and-so is willing to support the Taishi Bureau."

"..."

Jiang Sou lay there pretending to sleep, squinting his eyes and watching carefully.

"Pindao must remind you..."

The little Taoist priest in white said with a serious face.

"This support for our Taishi Bureau is just an empty talk. After you receive this certificate, if there are any monsters or ghosts doing evil near you, you have the responsibility to go to Qingdu Temple and report it to Pindao.

Of course, if there is a monk or something who wants to harm you, you can also ask the poor monk..."

"OK!"

Before the little Taoist priest finished speaking, Huai Dalang nodded eagerly.

"I support the Taishi Bureau. If I find that there are monsters doing evil around me, I will notify you!"

Then Jiang Sou saw that the little Taoist priest in white nodded, took out a card from his arms and handed it to Huai Dalang.

"Okay, then from today on, the several markets near Jiahui Fang will be the territory that you Huai Dalang is responsible for. Remember, if there are any evil spirits or ghosts, report them to Pindao in time. If you are

If Pindao finds out about concealment or favoritism..."

The little Taoist priest in white used his flaming sword that was still floating in the air.
