"Fellow Daoist Xu, this should be right here. I'll knock on the door."
Mao Shanming looked at the sign at the Baohe Inn and took the initiative to walk forward.
Xu Ce shook his head slightly and shouted:
"Master, it's me, Xu Ce, open the door."
With a creak, the closed door was pushed open.
What came into view was a group of men wearing security uniforms. Some of them had guns in their hands, but more of them had machetes in their hands.
However, this number seems to be a bit too many. Even if there are security guards from two towns, there should not be so many people in total.
However, there was a problem of horse banditry, and a lot of militiamen should have been temporarily recruited to join in. In this case, it makes sense.
"Benefactor!"
Accompanied by an excited shout, Awei ran out excitedly with a gun in his hand, and asked slightly doubtfully:
"My benefactor, why are you here in Taishan Town? Didn't you follow Taoist Master Siyan to Huangling Mountain?"
Xu Ce smiled and said:
"We will discuss this later. Where is my master?"
Ah Wei quickly responded:
"Tell me, Uncle Jiu, he is inside, drawing a spell. My dear, please come in with me."
Later, Xu Ce and Mao Shanming entered the inn.
Many security guards stepped out of the way.
The security team members in Renjia Town all know Xu Ce and have seen how powerful Xu Ce is. They all look at Xu Ce like a god, but this is the first time for the people in Taishan Town to see Xu Ce and the people from the town next door to him.
My colleagues looked very confused.
Seeing Xu Ce and Mao Shanming enter the house inside.
The security team members were talking a lot.
"Brother, who was that handsome guy just now? Why is your Captain Ah Wei so respectful to him?"
"Just now I thought I heard that handsome guy calling Uncle Jiu Master. When did Uncle Jiu take in such a young disciple? I've never heard of him before."
"Uncle Jiu's reputation is well-known in Renjia Town. Hey, if Uncle Jiu had been invited here earlier, those horse thieves who know sorcery wouldn't have been able to be so arrogant for so long."
"Yes, yes, by the way, there is also the Taoist priest following Brother Jun. No matter how I look at him, I think he is scheming. What's going on?"
"..."
The first words were all normal curious comments, but the last words made Mao Shanming, who was walking at the back, stiffen slightly and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What does it mean to have a sinister eyebrow and rat eyes? It’s obviously the bones of an immortal crane! Anyway, that’s what Mao Shanming himself thinks.
It was other people's territory, and they all still had guys in their hands. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and Mao Shanming pretended not to hear anything.
"Uncle Jiu, look who I brought here."
Ah Wei knocked on an inner door, then pushed it open and said with a smile on his face.
Uncle Jiu did not raise his head, but still drew the spell seriously, and said calmly:
"Who?"
At this time, Xu Ce raised his hands and performed the master's etiquette, bowed and said:
"Master, it's me."
Uncle Jiu stiffened slightly when he heard a familiar voice. This was the voice of his most promising talented apprentice. Could it be an auditory hallucination?
Turning around to look, Uncle Jiu was shocked. It was really Xu Ce.
"Disciple pays homage to master."
Xu Ce bowed again and saluted.
Uncle Jiu put down the cinnabar brush in his hand and looked it up and down. It was Xu Ce, and he said in surprise:
"Disciple Xu Ce, what are you doing here?"
Xu Ce once again recounted his embarrassing experience of going the wrong way and what happened at Tan Wanwan's house. Uncle Jiu was speechless. However, it was a good thing that he came to Taishan Town by chance, as it happened to help him share some of the pressure.
sidewalk:
"Well, Disciple Xu Ce, things here are a bit tricky. It would be great if you could come. My master will be more confident in dealing with those evil horse thieves."
Xu Ce asked:
"Master, are those horse thieves really powerful?"
Uncle Jiu frowned and nodded,
"Yes, they are very powerful. I have played against them twice in the past few days, and I almost suffered a big loss as a teacher."
Xu Ce was surprised and said:
"Have you suffered a great loss based on Master's teachings?"
You know, Uncle Jiu is quite strong, and Xu Ce remembers that although the horse thief in the original work was a bit powerful, he was definitely no match for Uncle Jiu, he was just a little more troublesome.
Is it possible that the difficulty has increased?
"Yes, these horse thieves are not only numerous in number, but the sorcery they use is also quite terrifying. They feed voodoo bugs with essence and blood. These voodoo bugs are all rare species in Miao territory. The power of using sorcery is very powerful. Our people have already
Several were injured.
After being infected by the Gu bugs, their whole bodies were full of ulcers. Currently, I can only temporarily ensure that their injuries will not worsen, but there is no way to cure them."
"What kind of injury is so serious?"
Uncle Jiu waved and said:
"Follow me."
Soon, under the leadership of Uncle Jiu, they arrived at a small room. A few candles were lit in the room. Three people were lying on the floor, covered in ulcers. Moreover, due to the lack of air circulation in the room, there was also a slight stench.
The smell is very unpleasant.
The breath of several people was very low, and their breath was like a gossamer. If their chests were not still rising and falling, they would probably be treated as dead people.
"What kind of poison have they been poisoned by?"
Mao Shanming couldn't help but ask.
Only then did Uncle Jiu notice the person following Xu Ce.
"Disciple Xu Ce, who is this?"
"Oh, Master, this is Taoist Priest Mingmao of Maoshan. After hearing about the evil horse thieves, he came here to help."
Xu Ce explained.
Mao Shanming bowed and said:
"Uncle Jiu, I am a poor Taoist, Mao Shanming. I have admired Uncle Jiu for a long time. I hope Uncle Jiu will not dislike him."
"As for fellow Taoists, it would be a good thing to have fellow Taoists join us."
Uncle Jiu was a guest.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Ce knelt down and walked up to one person,
"Awei, give me a light."
Behind him, Awei quickly took down a candle and handed it to Xu Ce. Xu Ce put the candle close to the person who was poisoned, looked at it carefully, and at the same time let out the energy of the Wugou Gang Sutra.
When the mana entered the man's body, Xu Ce immediately felt a resistance, as if something was biting at the fluctuations of his mana.
"Eh!"
Xu Ce let out a light sigh, poison, that is, poison, this is the first time Xu Ce has encountered it. The mana fluctuations that bit him just now are not illusions, but real ones. Little bugs, crazy.
to tear and devour.
Moreover, during this process, the breath of those little bugs was still growing strangely stronger.
At the same time, people on the ground screamed in pain.
"Disciple Xu Ce, stop quickly!"
When Uncle Jiu saw this, he quickly shouted and stopped Xu Ce.
Xu Ce quickly controlled the fluctuations in his magic power and said in confusion:
"Master, what on earth is going on? I felt my mana fluctuating just now..."
