Wuliang looked forward, and there was a small town in front of the ancient road. Although it didn't look big, there were probably a lot of people on the ancient road.
Walking closer, I saw a stone tablet standing on the roadside at the entrance of the town, with the three words "Gaolaozhuang" engraved on it, which I guess was the name of this town.
Wuliang and Liu Juan strolled in, only to hear the voices gradually getting louder. The ancient road ran straight through the small town. There were houses with eaves and some shops beside the road, but there were more of them.
Vendors setting up stalls directly on both sides of the road, walking along the street, the sound of selling is endless, it is really a picture of the world.
Wuliang walked among the crowd, a smile gradually appeared on his lips. When he was still living in the village when he was young, he vaguely remembered the same appearance. Compared with the years in Kyoto, the fireworks in the world seemed to have a different flavor in his heart.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang..."
Just when Wuliang was still immersed in the memories of the past, suddenly there was a loud sound of gongs on the street ahead, which startled him. Then he saw the surrounding townspeople speeding up and moving forward.
As I ran, I occasionally heard a few people walking and talking: "Let's go quickly! The senior officials are summoned to speak."
"I think that's what happened?"
"Yes! I heard that Gao Yuanwai discussed with Li Baochang, Wang Xiucai and the others all night last night. I wonder if they can come up with a solution?"
"I hope there is a way! That pig demon——."
…
When Liu Juan heard this, his curiosity was aroused, and he followed the flow of people forward. He saw people gathering around him. After a while, there were two to three hundred people on a stone platform in the center of the town.
The edges were surrounded.
Liu Juan stood in the crowd and looked towards the middle. He saw that the stone platform was about half a person high and looked quite smooth. There were three people standing on it, two old and one young. They must be the senior member of the foreign minister whom he heard about just now.
Along with Li Baochang and Wang Xiucai.
Seeing that people were almost here, the oldest of the three people on the stone platform stood up and waved to the townspeople below, and the townspeople gradually became quiet.
When it was completely quiet, the old man looked around and said in a serious tone: "Fellow fellow villagers, we have summoned everyone here today. I believe everyone knows what happened. Since three months ago, the monster has been living in the "Grand Cave" ten miles outside the town.
Since then, they have been harassing the town. In the past month, they have intensified, coming night and night, and looted countless cattle, sheep and poultry. What's more, three days ago, the Gao family father and son killed each other for the last cow in the family.
When I resisted, I was... alas, and unfortunately I died at the hands of that evildoer."
There was a burst of sighs from the surrounding townspeople, and a few even cursed loudly. Liu Juan understood most of it in his heart, but he still didn't know what the monster was.
At this time, I heard the chief security officer say again: "As the chief security officer, I can't keep a town safe. I'm really ashamed. After discussing with Gao Yuanwai and Wang Xiucai last night, I thought that since this monster is extraordinary, he is not one of our kind."
If ordinary people can resist it, why not put up a notice and ask some Taoist masters to come back and collect the demons? As for the cost! I also ask for your full support."
As soon as he finished speaking, the townspeople in the audience said one after another: "What the chief security officer said makes sense. He is asking the master to come back and catch the monster."
"If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will be eaten by that monster. Do you still care about the little money?"
"Yes, yes..."
The three people on the stage saw that most of the townspeople agreed, and the security guard seemed to be relieved and said: "In that case, I also asked Fan Xiucai to write a notice last night, and then posted it." After that, he said to that person.
The scholar-looking young man nodded, and the scholar responded, took out a piece of white paper from his arms with some writing on it, walked down the stone platform, walked to a brick wall standing next to it, and pasted it on it.
The townspeople immediately rushed over, and Liu Juan also followed him to take a look, and saw the writing on the paper:
There is a pig demon living in a straw cave ten miles outside the town. It hides day and night, harasses the town, robs poultry, cattle and sheep, and even hurts people. However, its magic is very powerful. Now, we specially invite some experts to eliminate it for the people.
Gao Laozhuang is willing to thank you with five hundred taels of silver.
Liu Juan saw that the signature was from the town of Gaolaozhuang, and heard the surrounding residents expressing their approval. He hesitated for a moment, originally intending to do this kind deed, but when he thought of what the townspeople and the security chief said just now, he was afraid that this monster was very powerful.
It's tight. My magic power is low. It's a trivial matter not to be able to defeat the monster. If I accidentally lose my life, I can't afford it.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard an uproar from the surrounding townspeople. He quickly looked up and was startled. He saw a giant man walking over from outside. Wherever he went, he moved the crowd with just a light hand.
It parted to the side like water.
When the giant man came closer, Liu Juan saw it clearly. He saw that this man was not very old, at most around twenty, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face and wide ears, which matched his amazing figure.
A powerful aura came oncoming.
Among the crowd, the tallest one only reached his shoulders, and he really stood out from the crowd.
I saw him striding to the wall, reading the notice carefully, and then walked into the town.
When Wuliang saw him, he said, "Come on, that man is the apprentice of the Imperial Master." Liu Juan quickly helped Wuliang sit down under a tree, and then said, "Wait for me here, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
"Then he handed the knife in his left hand to him and said, "For self-defense!"
Wuliang nodded. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he also knew that the man who saved his life was not a simple man. His behavior in the woods was enough for him to recruit him.
After arranging the unscrupulous, Liu Juan quietly came to the intersection where the big man was walking, spotted a slightly older family, lightly took a run for a short distance, then exerted force on his legs, put his hands on the wall, and turned sideways.
After entering the courtyard, he rolled with the force when he landed, which not only reduced the impact of the landing, but also hid himself among the flowers and trees, and then he began to look at the scene in the courtyard.
The entire courtyard is not big, but it is very exquisite. There are many pavilions, waterside pavilions, rockeries and strange rocks in the courtyard. In terms of layout, it is also unique and shows a beautiful scenery in a limited space.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Juan secretly praised himself, and was about to stand up when suddenly there were rapid footsteps not far away. Without thinking, he immediately squatted down and hid himself among the flowers and trees again.
At the same time, he pulled out the dagger from between his legs, held it in his hand, and then quietly poked his head out.
I saw a girl in bright yellow clothes trotting along the corridor, and behind her someone was shouting anxiously: "Miss, Miss, where are you going?"
Hearing the shouting, the girl stopped and turned around and said: "If you go there, of course you have to escape. Do you really want me to stay here and marry that bullshit boy? I don't want it. I want to go find my eldest brother."
"
After saying that, she stopped stopping and ran over again. Behind her, a little girl in an emerald green dress was holding up the hem of her skirt and panting after her.
All this was seen by Liu Juan who was hiding in the flowers. After she left, he put the small sword back on his lap and breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two left, Liu Juan didn't waste any time. He hid himself among the flowers and started looking for what he needed, which was clothes. His own clothes looked too conspicuous.
It didn't take long for Liu Juan to find what he needed. Although it was a few ordinary clothes, for Liu Juan, this was exactly what he needed.
After returning to the original place, Liu Juan saw no trace of Wushun. He couldn't help but become alert. He held the bayonet in his hand, slowed down his steps, and slowly moved towards the big tree. Now he looked like a leopard.
, you can give a fatal blow to the enemy that appears at any time.
"Brother, I'm here!"
An unscrupulous voice came from under the bushes not far away.
