The plan to work on a piece of spiritual stone would probably involve some tough work, so he took it up with a rush of thought.
Now that I am ill, my family's financial resources have been depleted. If there is an emergency, my frail body and the few remaining financial resources will not be able to cope with it.
"I should have known better that I wouldn't have answered."
It's too late to regret now. I've already accepted the offer. If I don't go, I will be ridiculed by my peers and have to face the yamen. It will be difficult to beg for food in this world in the future.
Because of greed, when I heard that there was a spiritual stone, blood rushed to my head.
No wonder he is.
Following the policeman, he walked into the gatehouse of the county government office. The small courtyard was not big, but there were quite a few people gathered there.
As he stepped in, all eyes swept over.
"Zhang Tianbao, I thought you were hiding in fear." The burly-looking man, holding a weapon, with his sides connected to his beard, looked quite fierce, and even his tone was quite unkind.
It is a very impolite behavior to call people by their first names. Most people call people by their first names when they meet because there is a gap between them.
Chi Xuan smiled calmly and said: "You are a butcher, why should I be afraid?"
"It's just that I had to deal with things a few days ago and was delayed. That's all. Why should I explain anything to a butcher like you?"
The scholar-looking warlock hovered in his hand with a small jade knife, engraved with a small sign, and said loudly: "Taoist Master, Brother Tu, if you don't look up to see each other, why should you hurt your harmony."
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"Bookworm, you said it lightly." Tuzi glared at the scholar.
An older open-minded swordsman said with a bit of coldness in his voice: "This time I am working for the county government. If you have any personal grudges, please don't bring them in. Otherwise, don't blame my sword for not recognizing people."
"Don't be so angry." The old man sitting opposite the scholar said with a smile.
As soon as this person speaks, the others will give him a little more face.
This is not just because Elixir can refine elixirs.
These strange people who have only half-footed their feet in cultivation, or who rely on strange arts, will naturally be a head lower than those of complete Qi practitioners, and their methods are not as good as those of Qi practitioners.
Chi Xuan shrugged.
Come on, let's just make some money this time. Don't even think about that piece of spiritual stone. It was probably prepared for Elder Dan and has nothing to do with him, a half-hearted Qi practitioner.
Several other familiar faces were watching the show with their shoulders folded. After seeing Chi Xuan's gaze, they all nodded and said nothing more.
"What on earth is going on?"
Chi Xuan sat down on the stone bench generously and asked about the scholar next to him and the old man sitting opposite.
He asked the police officer on the way here, but the police officer said it was a secret and couldn't explain clearly. This actually made Chi Xuan more curious.
Now that I finally arrived at the county government office and saw so many acquaintances, it was time to find out more information.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
If you don’t even know what the specific thing is, how can you save your life when an emergency comes?
Others may not know, but an authentic Qi practitioner like Mr. Dan should know some inside information.
Dan Lao did not give in and said: "It is said that monsters have entered the city."
"monster?!"
Chi Xuan's tone was a little higher.
The gathering of so many people shows that the monsters entering the city are definitely extraordinary. At least they must be serious Qi practitioners in terms of cultivation. Otherwise, ordinary little monsters or imps would not even be able to enter the city.
Even if you enter the city, you will be dealt with quickly.
Elder Dan expected Chi Xuan's reaction, but did not laugh at him.
Because everyone was like this when they heard the news, and they were even more surprised. Even a Qigong practitioner like him looked solemn and did not dare to say that he would definitely survive the battle with the monsters.
The scholar was still carving his wooden plaque and said casually: "Taoist Master, you are the only one left in your Red Sheep Palace. I advise you to leave as soon as possible to avoid it being broken."
Incense.”
Chi Xuan chuckled, took over the conversation and said, "It seems that I really need to think about it."
"I wonder why Benefactor Qin is here?"
"Of course I have my own reasons." The small jade knife was like a brush in the scholar's hand, writing freely and carving smoothly, without any appearance of unfamiliarity.
"What Qin Xiaoyou values is the qualification to enter the yamen."
"Elder Dan, you..." The scholar suddenly became anxious, but he didn't say much. It only takes a few days to understand this matter. It doesn't matter if you don't say it, but he didn't expect Elder Dan to tell Chi Xuan so simply.
.
He also thought that if Chi Xuan retreated after knowing the difficulty, he would have one less competitor.
"What are the qualifications for entering the Yamen?"
"A qualification to become a Qi Practitioner. Of course, whether you can become a Qi Practitioner mainly depends on yourself. Most of them are also aiming for this spot."
"No wonder."
Chi Xuan suddenly realized that the reward this time was really rich.
I just don’t know what monster I want to catch.
Another day, they also met the county magistrate.
He was a rather amiable little old man. The magistrate of Jixian County has been in charge for a long time. He can't be said to be good or bad. He just ruled in an ordinary way.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the county magistrate has not moved from this position.
Or maybe they don’t have their own faction and don’t give gifts to the bosses in the court, so they don’t get the chance to be promoted.
Chi Xuan thought.
He shook his head again to dispel the thoughts in his mind.
What does he care about these issues?
The top priority was to save money and see what the magic weapon was used for. Unfortunately, he poured so much mana into it, but he didn't see any response from the magic weapon.
It made him doubt what he was doing.
In the past two days, I have saved a few talismans, which is enough to deal with it.
If you really encounter a monster, the county government will definitely come to help, without him being a Taoist priest guarding the Po Tao Temple.
today.
The wind is gentle and the clouds are calm.
Chi Xuan was drawing the talisman when he felt something shake in his arms, and then he felt the surge of evil energy fluctuating.
"ah!"
The shrill screams resounded.
The blood-curdling voice made Chi Xuanmeng tremble. Not only did he draw the talisman crookedly, but his heart also trembled. Cold hairs stood on his body, and a ray of coldness ran straight from the back of his head to his head.
"Something happened?!"
All the strange people rushed out of the gate.
Only the sound of gongs and drums could be heard resounding throughout the world.
Then the panicked Master yelled: "Monster!"
A mighty sound.
The county captain was wearing full armor, and hundreds of soldiers were also fully armed. They clenched their weapons and stood in front of them.
"What's going on?"
Chixuan Sayazi ran over, and before he could ask, he saw a tall creature about ten feet tall in the center of the county government office roaring to the sky, with tyrannical waves like waves, and red eyes full of evil.
As he opened his mouth, blood and sticky, fishy saliva flowed onto the ground along his fangs.
It still has most of its official robe in its mouth.
Chi Xuan took a closer look and saw that it was clearly the official robe of the county magistrate.
"The magistrate was eaten!"
The master was crying. There were several wounds on his chest that were deep enough to see the bones. Blood was flowing out from the wounds. Judging from the appearance of the wounds, they were clearly claw marks.
Wu County Lieutenant swallowed hard, his voice was a little trembling, and he roared: "Archer!"
The county soldiers holding bows bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the tall standing creature in the center of the county government office.
"Is this the monster that entered the city?"
The open swordsman's palm trembled slightly, and finally he clenched the weapon under his force. It could no longer be said to be solemn, but panic and fear of monsters.
The monster is one foot tall and has a huge tiger head.
The hair all over his body has become so sparse that his original appearance cannot be seen, but the evil spirit surrounding his body reminds everyone that the monster in front of him is not easy to deal with.
A dignified official wearing official fish clothes approached.
He took out his token and gave the order: "I am the small flag officer of Jiangmo Yamen, and you are all here in response to my call."
"The monster sneaked into the city and killed the imperial officials. The crime must not be punished!"
"Those who kill the tiger demon will be rewarded with a spiritual stone and become qualified as a Qi Practitioner. The remaining ones will be rewarded according to their merits."
“If we don’t take action now, when will we wait?”
The flag officer of Jiangmo Yamen turned to look at the strange people who had gathered.
Not to mention, under the heavy reward, the fear in their hearts also subsided a lot. They all had the same red eyes, staring at the tiger demon surrounded by the military formation, but no one took action.
"Eat a certain knife!"
Tu Zi was the first to take action, and his energy exploded all over his body. Although the crippled master was not as good as the Qi Practitioner, his attack was no less powerful.
Flying through the air.
The tiger demon's ferocious eyes turned, and the figure disappeared on the spot. Then, a claw came over and knocked away the butcher who had drawn the knife.
Butcher vomited several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
He fell down hard and didn't know whether he would live or die.
"Fire the arrow!" Wu County Lieutenant shouted.
The long bows of hundreds of soldiers made a sound of full moon, and arrows rained from the sky straight towards the tall tiger monster.
The tiger demon roared angrily, and a red magic shield was held up in front of him.
Braving the rain of arrows, he and a group of soldiers rushed to the front of Wu County Lieutenant, raising the tiger claws in their hands.
"Keng."
A long sword blocked his tiger claw.
The person who took action was none other than the flag officer of Jiangmo Yamen.
The magic power around him poured into the magical weapon, and the sword energy spread everywhere, blocking the tiger demon's positions in all directions.
"Good opportunity!"
The open-armed swordsman's eyes were focused and he turned over the sword in his hand.
Not only swordsmen, but other strangers also saw such a good opportunity. The flag officers of Jiangmo Yamen were facing the enemy, so they only needed to look for opportunities, and there would be no risk.
"Take action!"
For a time, those who produced weapons produced weapons, and those who had spells produced spells.
Chi Xuan was not stunned either, he turned the talisman in his hand into a fire spell and fired it.
"roar!"
The tiger monster roared and retreated, immediately trampling several soldiers to death. Even if they were wearing full armor, they were still like paper lakes when facing the monsters, with no ability to resist at all.
The surgical condensation in the hands of the flag officer of Jiangmo Yamen.
The sword energy split into three paths and went straight towards the tiger demon's body.
The tiger demon resisted those strange people and avoided the attack of the flag officer, and suddenly climbed onto the roof.
There was no clarity in his red eyes at all.
His attack was like the wind, and by the time the tiger demon landed, there was already a corpse in his hand.
Chi Xuan's eyes widened, he was a knight with great martial arts skills.
However, in the battle with the tiger demon, he didn't even get through.
