"Ah haha, it's not a big deal, I just mind it a little bit." He was so distracted that he let out what was on his mind. Gu Chen secretly shed a cold sweat and quickly picked a topic to change the focus. "By the way, Sister Wu Zhen, I was just here
I saw Guru playing with a wild boar upstairs. Could it be that the wild boar was hunted nearby?"
"Did Young Master also see it? That should be the result of Feiyan's search in the back mountains." Wu Zhen answered happily.
"Searching the back mountain? Feiyan?" Gu Chen was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes. It is said that in order to ensure the safety of the business building, we first started to drive away the harmful beasts in the back."
"Is it a pest in the back mountain..." Gu Chen looked out the window speechlessly.
The hilltop where Gewufang Commercial Store is located is adjacent to Ximen Camp. In terms of area, it is larger than the camp plus Xicheng Street. However, its terrain is steep and difficult to use, so it is one of the few in Liyang City that still retains its original ecological style.
land plot.
There is a winding dirt road leading halfway up the mountain in the front mountain. Along the dirt road there are some simple buildings built with local materials. Some people can still be seen vaguely, but when you step into the back mountain, it has completely become the territory of wild animals. Hare
Not to mention herbivorous animals such as deer and deer, there are even carnivorous beasts such as bears and tigers in the back mountains.
Of course, to experienced warriors, carnivorous beasts, no matter how ferocious they are, will not be more threatening than monsters, but that obviously cannot be used as a standard to ensure the safety of a business hall. The martial arts value of the master is equivalent to that of ordinary people. In order to avoid his own
The Fang group encountered danger while operating near the business building. The female swordsman planned to drive away threatening beasts such as bears and tigers from the back mountain first.
In addition, the inaccessible Back Mountain is also full of unknowns to everyone. In order to prevent possible emergencies, it is also necessary to carefully check the environment of the Back Mountain. For this reason, Feiyan has been quite keen on strolling around the Back Mountain these days.
, and the kitchen also harvests fresh ingredients from time to time.
"Forget it, as long as she's happy."
Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders.
Although he didn’t think bears and tigers were a threat to him, it was better for the female swordsman to rejuvenate himself. As for the reason, Gu Chen guessed that it had something to do with Wu Zhen’s private chat with Fei Yan last time. Including Xiao Yi Fei Yan’s presence
Inside, both old and new members of Gewufang have accepted the existence of the female secretary. The natural aggregation of popularity may be a talent that is more difficult to imitate than running a business store.
In this case, can we also entrust the monsters to her?
Gu Chen was thinking about it, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the kettle monster at the small pond had stopped swinging its vine rope, and seemed to be on guard against the appearance of strangers.
"Is there anything over there? Master."
Noticing Gu Chen's subtle expression, Wu Zhen also turned his head slightly and looked towards the pond, but he did not notice the main point of his attention.
"Actually, there is someone... It's not right to call me someone. There is a guy who wants to introduce Sister Wu Zhen to you."
Gu Chen, who had made up his mind, asked Wu Zhen to wait, then walked through the corridor to the small pond, and pulled up the pot monster pretending to be dead under the shade of the grass. The female secretary watched the actions of her owner in amazement until Gu Chen came back.
I put the pot monster on the small round table, but I didn't understand what he wanted to do.
"This guy's name is Ponniu. Hey, say hello to Sister Wu Zhen."
Gu Chen patted the pot monster and ordered.
The pot monster, who was born a coward, had been hiding from the female secretary and others for more than a week. At this time, he was suddenly moved to a stranger. Of course, his instinctive reaction was to continue pretending to be dead. Gu Chen's words did not cause the slightest movement, but Wu Zhen looked embarrassed when he saw it.
The owner of the shop smiled, thinking that Gu Chen was joking with her.
"Don't pretend to be dead, idiot. From now on, the personnel affairs of Gewufang will be under the jurisdiction of Sister Wu Zhen. It will be difficult for you to offend her. You might be sent to the toilet to flush the toilet." Gu Chen said.
Intimidating the pot monster.
The pot monster was timid, but its head turned slowly. It trembled when it heard "distribute toilet". After being slapped twice by Gu Chen, it finally succumbed. I saw it opened its eyes and glanced at the female secretary.
, and tremblingly raised the pot-mouth rattan rope to say hello.
"Sir, what are you playing at?"
The female clerk's words suddenly stopped, and she looked at the old jar on the table in astonishment, as if it were a living thing.
"This guy's name is Ponniu, and he is a pot monster born from the Spiritual Brahma. Although he can understand human speech, he is extremely cowardly. He is used to pretending to be dead when trouble comes. Otherwise, he will never reveal his true identity.
." Gu Chen introduced to the female secretary. "Basically, I classified them as 'monsters'. In fact, this is also the research topic of Gewufang. I should have told you, Sister Wu Zhen, earlier, but I never found the chance...
"
"Eh? Eh?"
The female secretary, who was virtuous, capable, virtuous and respected, showed a rare expression of blankness as she listened to her boss's explanation.
……………………
Riding on the flow of spirit and mantra in the yellow land, the strange monsters arising from the spirit and mantra are disasters shared by all countries. Like floods in early spring, typhoons in midsummer, mountain fires in late autumn, and snowstorms in midwinter, no matter how bad it is,
Even if you don't want to, you will always encounter them several times throughout the year. Chenghuang people are so familiar with strange monsters.
Since wild monsters can emerge from vegetation, wood, metal, and stone, then of course man-made artifacts that have been used for many years can also produce similar spirits and monsters after being impregnated with spiritual Brahma, which are the so-called "monsters."
Although no one in the Chenghuang Kingdoms has ever proposed the concept of "monsters" before, it is not difficult to understand in theory. However, what makes it difficult for the female secretary to accept is that it is generally regarded as a "natural disaster" by the Chenghuang people.
The horrifying and absurd "ominous manifestation" was being drunk and slapped by the owner of the shop on the round table. He was so aggrieved that he did not dare to speak. His pitiful appearance seemed to be about to shed tears, which really overturned Wu Zhen's innate personality.
cognition.
The shock that shattered her world view left the female secretary speechless for a long time. It wasn't until she heard that even the female swordsman's thunder sword was of the "monster" species that she confirmed that this conversation was not made up by the whim of her boss.
It is real research supported by precise theory and practical results.
After all, she is the core figure supporting the operation of Fangzaosi. The gentle character of the female secretary gives her an extraordinary flexibility of thinking. After taking three deep breaths in a row, she finally calmed down her emotions again.
"...In other words, matters related to 'monsters' are the subject of Gongzifang's research? And the word 'wu' in the name of Gewufang has meant 'monsters' from the beginning?" Wu Zhen confirmed carefully.
"That's right." Gu Chen nodded, reaching out to pat the head of the pot monster who no longer pretended to be dead. "Strictly speaking, I started to study the art after encountering this guy. I call it our
The origin of Gewufang cannot be exaggerated.”
"It's actually the source of the Fang Group?" The female secretary groaned almost dizzy, and her eyes fell on the pot monster. Although Cheng Huang was born with the concept that "weird monsters equal disasters", he stared at the round monster in front of him.
, a tearful coward, Wu Zhen still has difficulty labeling it as "harmful" after all.
