The sparsely populated area of the capital is in the north of the city.
The sparsely populated area in the north of the city is Beiyuan.
The sparsely populated place in Beiyuan is Qierzhai.
Qilin Village is another name for Qilin Village.
Xu Zhiqiong knew that place very well.
There are no people in that place. Without people, there are no sinners. Without sinners, what merit can be achieved?
Is he targeting me or Lu Yanyou?
"Cao Yilang, you may have misunderstood. I am not very familiar with Master Lu. I just came to you to ask for a piece of land. You must at least give me a place with people..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Yilang threw a seal to Xu Zhiqiong: "Take it. If you want to sit down, sit for a while. If you don't want to sit down, just leave."
After saying that, the old man yawned and fell asleep.
In just the blink of an eye, he fell asleep!
Xu Zhiqiong still wanted to argue a few words, but Lu Yanyou persuaded him: "Stop talking, Cao Yilang has already decided, just accept it. The old man has a bad temper, so don't cause trouble here."
He has a bad temper?
Not to mention whether he had a temper or not, Xu Zhiqiong almost lost his temper when he saw him.
"Is this old guy still alive? Did he hear clearly what you said? Does he know where Qilin Village is?"
Lu Yanyou dragged Xu Zhiqiong back to the tea house. Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "What's the use of this land?"
"How can you say it's useless? Qilin Village is great!"
"What's so good about it?"
"It's so quiet!"
"It's quiet," Xu Zhiqiong nodded. "How can I find business in a place where there are no people? How can I earn merit?"
"I'm impatient, you are too impatient!" Lu Yanyou took a sip of tea and sighed, "Our judges rely on merit. Do you think this merit is so easy to get? It's like the first time you took over business at the eighth level,
It’s reasonable to wait for a year and a half.”
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Why do you have to wait a year and a half? I won't wait! I will go to your territory tomorrow to find business!"
"That's not okay. We brothers can't be enemies over this matter," Lu Yanyou said after thinking for a long time. "If you are in a hurry, there is someone who can help you. He is an upright and generous person who is willing to do business with others, and
What we do is still big business.”
"Where is this man?"
"There is Qin Laosan's toothbrush shop in Qingyuan Alley of Xiji. The shopkeeper is Qin Changmao, Fanchen's name is Qin Changmao, and the judge's name is also Qin Changmao."
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "The judge's name is the same as his real name?"
"If you don't say that Mr. Qin is sincere, if you go to him and bring the token given to you by the master, he will definitely be willing to help you."
After speaking, Lu Yanyou handed the stick of firewood to Xu Zhiqiong: "Brother, I have given you everything I have. You have to give me a few good words in front of an expert."
Xu Zhiqiong took the firewood stick and said: "Farewell."
Lu Yanyou picked up the seal given by Cao Yilang from the tea table, handed it to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Don't forget to take this."
Xu Zhiqiong took the seal and said, "What is the use of this thing?"
Lu Yanyou said: "This is called the master's seal, and it is very useful. For example, if there is a person who has committed a heinous crime and first went to Yingque Forest and then to Qilin Village, is this person considered yours or mine?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Of course it's mine! It's hard for someone to go to that shabby place, but you still manage to rob it?"
Lu Yanyou waved his hand and said: "We are not talking about friendship, let's just talk about rules. According to the rules of our industry, whoever stamps the master's seal on the sin karma first will belong to that person. If you put the seal on that person's sin karma,
Once you see my master's seal, you can no longer rob this person."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "What if I have to snatch it?"
Lu Yanyou smiled: "Brother, then our hatred will be deep. When you do business in the future, don't blame me for being a stumbling block!"
"Thank you, brother, for reminding me!" Xu Zhiqiong received the master's seal and left the tea house.
It was not yet the fourth watch, so Xu Zhiqiong went to the peach blossom shed and slept in the private room for more than an hour.
In fact, you can sleep in other places, but Xu Zhiqiong slept peacefully in the hook rail.
When dawn broke, Xu Zhiqiong changed into casual clothes and went directly to Qingyuan Lane in Xiji, where he found Qin Laosan's tooth brushing shop.
The shop is not big, and the shelves are filled with toothbrushes, as well as willow juice, sophora japonica juice, ginger juice, and various tooth-brushing medicines. The shopkeeper Qin Changmao is greeting business behind the counter.
Judging from his appearance, the old shopkeeper was about sixty years old, with a well-proportioned figure, a strong physique, and a kind appearance.
A woman in her thirties, wearing shabby clothes, was choosing to brush her teeth: "Does this make me cheaper?"
She chose a bamboo ponytail brush to brush her teeth.
Daxuan's toothbrushes are similar to modern toothbrushes. They have a toothbrush handle with holes punched in it and bristles planted inside.
Toothbrush handles have animal bones, porcelain chips, and the cheapest ones are made of bamboo chips.
Toothbrush bristles have horsehair, pig bristles, and the cheapest ones are horsetail.
This cheapest toothbrush only cost ten cents, but the woman still thought it was expensive.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that you are here today. My business has just opened. This toothbrush costs you six cents."
Six cents?
I'm afraid that even the labor cost is not enough.
The shopkeeper is a kind man.
The woman thanked her repeatedly, gave her the money, and took a brush for her teeth. Just as she was about to leave, the shopkeeper gave her some juice.
Willow juice is a teeth-cleaning medicine, equivalent to toothpaste.
The woman waved her hands repeatedly and said, "We can't afford this thing."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If you open the first business, you can count it as a gift from me."
The woman thanked her profusely and left the toothbrushing shop. Xu Zhiqiong came up to her and asked, "Do you want to give me a gift if you open a second business?"
"Sir, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper still greeted me with a smile.
Xu Zhiqiong took out the stick of firewood, placed it on the counter, and lowered his voice: "Shopkeeper Qin, I'm here to do business with you."
Qin Changmao touched the firewood stick, called a waiter to watch the counter for him, and took Xu Zhiqiong to the small room behind the shop.
The hut was very clean. The two of them sat down at the tea table. Qin Changmao took a stick of firewood and asked, "Is there anyone who has this extraordinary thing? May I ask who gave it to me?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This person doesn't want to reveal his name, and I don't dare to make any independent opinions."
Qin Changmao smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He took out a mask and put it on his face.
"Since we are members of the same sect, I won't do any riddles. The old man's name is Qin Changmao. Both laymen and Taoist sects use this name. I wonder what I call you, brother?"
Xu Zhiqiong also put on a mask: "My mortal name is Xu Zhiqiong."
"Zhiqiong?"
"It's the dome of the sky," Xu Zhiqiong explained, and added, "The name of the younger Taoist sect is called Ma Shangfeng, which means admiring high mountains and steep peaks."
Chief Qin put down the firewood stick and fiddled with a tooth brush in his hand. It was obvious that he liked his profession very much.
"Ma Shangfeng, Judge Ma, I have heard of you. You are quite famous in the Punishment Department. Judge Ma is here to see me. Why do you want to do this?"
Gu Qiang
Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "I have always heard that Master Qin is a generous and righteous person. I am a new junior to the eighth rank. I want to work with Master Qin to punish evil and eliminate evil and earn more merits."
Qin Changmao shook his head and said: "This is difficult, I'm afraid we are not in the same group."
Xu Zhiqiong's heart sank and he thought about it carefully.
Judging from Lu Yanyou's description and his attitude towards women, he is an upright and kind-hearted man. Upright people are noble. I'm afraid it's a bit vulgar to mention meritorious deeds at first glance.
Besides, I only need to complete three missions, so it doesn't matter how much merit I get.
Xu Zhiqiong saluted again: "I only made a mistake when I was a junior. I worked with Chief Qin, but I only wanted to punish evil and eradicate evil, regardless of merit."
Qin Changmao sighed: "The difference is even worse. If Judge Ma is willing to work with Qin, I dare not say much in terms of merits, but I will never owe you anything. But if it comes to punishing evil and eradicating evil, the Taoist sect's duty will naturally not be
Change, but you and I have different methods. Based on what you did in the past, I'm afraid..."
Halfway through his words, the toothbrush in Qin Changmao's hand suddenly broke.
"No!" Qin Changmao stood up and said, "Judge Ma, if you are sincere about working with Qin, please go with Qin."
Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask any questions and followed Qin Changmao out the door.
Qin Changmao took out a mirror and looked at himself. Between the light and shadow, he entered a state of invisibility.
If your guess is correct, Lu Yanyou also used this method. Is this a required course for eighth-grade judges?
Qin Changmao took another look at Xu Zhiqiong, and Xu Zhiqiong also became invisible.
Xu Zhiqiong asked tentatively: "Is this Master Qin's innate skill?"
He wanted to see if Qin Changmao was willing to tell the truth.
"It doesn't count," Qin Changmao said, "My innate skills are Yin and Yang. When I entered the first grade, I was able to skillfully use Yin and Yang. I learned many Yin and Yang techniques without a teacher. Later, someone taught me, so I learned
I have put in a lot of skills, and this mirror is a magic weapon I made myself."
A magic weapon you made yourself?
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "I have also seen such a magical weapon from another fellow disciple."
"Are you talking about Lu Yanyou? This mirror originally had two sides. I owed him a favor back then, so I gave one of them to him."
If this is true or false, you can verify it with Lu Yanyou in the future.
If this is true, Qin Changmao revealed his innate skills as soon as he opened his mouth, proving that this person really has no scheming intentions.
The judge was quick on his feet, and while he was talking, the two of them had walked out of two streets and entered an alley.
There is a small courtyard in the alley, which is particularly eye-catching.
There are two houses in the small courtyard, one main house and one warehouse. The reason why it is eye-catching is because the roof tiles are incomplete and the surrounding walls are cracked. It is difficult to find such a dilapidated house near Xiji.
There were shouts and curses in the house, and Xu Zhiqiong quietly followed Qin Changmao into the door.
The woman who just bought a toothbrush was sitting on the ground, her face covered with scars, and she was holding a child in her arms.
A man pointed at the woman and yelled: "I'm so busy here and there. Is it easy for me to work so hard for this family? I asked you for two dollars, and you show me this face. I'm so busy."
I'm just being too good to you and spoiling you to the point of getting sick!"
The woman sobbed: "I gave you all the money, and I really have no money left in the family."
"Fart!" The man stepped forward and kicked the woman a few more times. "Someone asked you to do knitting the day before yesterday and gave you more than 400 yuan. Where did the money go? Did you raise a wild man?"
The woman protected the child and said, "I asked you to use that money for gambling last night. Don't you remember?"
"I, I," the man smacked his lips and said, "aren't I doing this for this family? Why don't you accept it? I've worked hard all day, how can I get some money? I'm asking you if you want to pay me today!"
The woman cried: "You can beat him to death, I really have no money."
"I made you have no money!" The man was like crazy, grabbing the woman's hair and beating her wildly.
The seven or eight-year-old child in her arms hugged her mother and cried, "Don't hit your mother, Daddy, don't hit your mother."
"Get out of here!" The man kicked the child away and then beat the woman.
The man had two-inch-three-inch horns on his head. Xu Zhiqiong looked at Qin Changmao to see when he would take action.
Qin Changmao looked nervous. What he was looking at was not the man, nor the mother and son who were being beaten, but what was behind the man.
What does that mean?
Xu Zhiqiong watched carefully with the Eyes of Sin, and saw no clues, but he vaguely felt a murderous aura.
There is someone behind that man!
The true art of incarnation and invisibility cannot be seen with the pupil of sinful karma.
There is a judge behind the man.
At this moment, Qin Changmao was looking at the invisible judge.
Until the murderous aura slowly disappeared, Qin Changmao finally let out a sigh of relief.
The man was still beating the woman. Qin Changmao took out a bronze medal, held it in his hand, and said silently: "That's your wife, that's your son, how could you do it!"
After reciting it silently several times, the man seemed to have sensed it, stopped his hand, cursed and walked out of the house, leaving his wife and children crying in the house.
Qin Changmao wiped the sweat from his chin and left quietly with Xu Zhiqiong.
After returning to the toothbrush shop, Xu Zhiqiong asked: "There was a fellow disciple in that shabby house just now, right?"
Qin Changmao nodded and said: "He is a sixth-grade fellow disciple, Suo Zhonglang. I can't see his appearance, but I can smell the murderous aura. Suo Zhonglang is not restricted from killing people. If we go a step too late, that person's life will be gone." Already."
It's really difficult to do business in the eighth grade. Not only do you have to guard against your peers, but you also have to guard against Suo Zhonglang.
"Master Qin, Suo Zhonglang is of the sixth grade. Why did he retreat on his own just now? Is he afraid of us?"
Qin Changmao shook his head and said: "It's not because I'm afraid, but because I'm showing some disrespect to the old man. He has some reputation among his fellow sects, not to mention that there is also the master's seal on the crime."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I wonder how Chief Qin wants to kill that villain?"
"The villain you are talking about is just that man."
"Exactly."
Qin Changmao was silent for a long time and said: "But he said that we are not the same kind of people. I never thought about killing him. I wanted to save him."
"Save him?" Xu Zhiqiong looked at Qin Changmao with wide eyes.
"Yes, save him," Qin Changmao nodded, "Your reputation is in the Department of Punishing Evil, and my reputation is in the Department of Rewarding Good."
Rewards for good deeds?
There is a road from the Department of Punishing Evil to the Department of Rewarding Good People. Xu Zhiqiong knew this place, but knew nothing about the Department of Rewarding Good People.
Xu Zhiqiong stared at Qin Changmao and asked, "Why do you want to save this person?"
Qin Changmao said: "Because he is a person, he is a life."
This is a fair statement.
Xu Zhiqiong felt his stomach churn after hearing this.
He knew he was a good man.
But after hearing this, it was like drinking a large jar of honey in one breath.
I feel so disgusting from the bottom of my heart.
But he still had to listen patiently: "Master Qin, I would like to ask you, how do you plan to save him?"
